Chapter 42
Looking at An Le’s bewildered expression, Lu Heng lightly kissed his gland and smiled, “Since this is Le Le’s own choice, then later… don’t regret it.”
“Ah?”
Regret?
An Le panicked. What was going on? Why did Mr. Lu tell him not to regret it?
Regarding physiology, he only knew that omegas needed alphas or suppressant patches during their heat cycle, but he hadn’t looked up anything about alpha’s sensitive period and didn’t know what to expect.
Although he had experienced permanent marking at the mall, he had fainted at the time and woke up the next day in the hospital.
Therefore, he still didn’t know what the process of alleviating an alpha’s sensitive period entailed.
An Le didn’t understand, but he didn’t dare to ask.
So, while Lu Heng was busy with other things, he secretly opened his phone to search how to alleviate an alpha’s sensitive period.
A screen full of physiological knowledge made his face turn crimson, especially when he learned that during an alpha’s sensitive period, bonding within the omega’s body for more than an hour daily was necessary. He was completely flustered.
He knew how large Lu Heng was, but he knew that during bonding, an alpha’s size would increase by two or three times. He put down his phone, touched his stomach, and was terrified. His nose turned sour, and he picked up his phone to call Xiao Xiao.
But Xiao Xiao was at work, and he couldn’t bring himself to talk about this kind of thing. After thinking for a while, he opened his unsuccessful chat software to send a message to Xiao Xiao.
As soon as he opened the software, he found that the two thousand yuan he had sent to Lu Heng hadn’t been claimed and had been returned.
He looked up at the kitchen, puzzled. Lu Heng was cooking.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood. Lu Heng had said that if they got married, half of Lu family’s property would be his.
But, but he didn’t want Lu Heng’s property, he only wanted Lu Heng.
Moreover, someone of Lu Heng’s status wouldn’t usually cook.
An Le thought for a moment before saying, “Sir… he also… also has many little secrets.”
But sir didn’t tell him.
An Le bit his lip, finally put down his phone, and bravely walked to the kitchen door, whispering, “Sir, I… I can also cook.”
In the past two years, Xiao Xiao had often taught him how to cook, so his cooking was quite palatable.
Hearing this, Lu Heng turned around, “Le Le wants to cook for me?”
An Le’s face, already red from reading about physiology, became even redder, but this didn’t make him back down.
He nodded and softly said, “Yes.”
He knew very little, and Lu Heng’s kindness towards him was like charity, and he also wanted to give something back to Lu Heng.
As for the sensitive period…
For An Le, it wasn’t a transaction or a sacrifice, but normal intimacy between husband and wife, after all, he also had a heat cycle, and then he would also need Lu Heng’s help.
Therefore, in An Le’s eyes, after being with Lu Heng, he hadn’t made any sacrifices.
“Then come.”
Lu Heng took off his apron and put it on An Le, “I like lighter dishes, not too salty.”
Hearing Lu Heng proactively tell him his preferred taste, An Le was instantly overjoyed, and his voice was softer than usual, “I understand~”
An Le looked at the ingredients on the cutting board: two carrots, a piece of beef, and soup simmering in the pot, emitting a fragrant aroma.
An Le washed his hands, carefully cut the beef with a knife, his expression serious and happy, as if cooking for Lu Heng was an honor.
Lu Heng stood at the door, looking at An Le’s profile, but suddenly saw another figure through An Le, that person was emotionally distraught, with a sharp voice: “So stupid and you still want to eat beef, feeding it to a dog would be a waste!”
“Get lost!”
“Eat it, why don’t you eat it?”
“I’ll never cook for you again in my life!”
“You deserve to die…”
“Sir, sir?”
Lu Heng suddenly heard An Le’s voice. He snapped back to reality, seeing An Le standing before him with a red face, holding a small bowl in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand. The spoon contained fragrant, light chicken soup. An Le’s eyes shone brightly, and he softly asked, “Sir, try it, this… this taste, is it alright?”
He hadn’t cooked for Lu Heng before, so he didn’t know what kind of light taste Lu Heng preferred, so he added salt little by little for Lu Heng to try.
However, Lu Heng seemed a little absent-minded; he didn’t react even after being called several times.
Suddenly, Lu Heng lowered his head and drank the soup in the spoon, then said, “You can add a little more salt.”
“Okay.”
An Le was very happy and quickly turned back to work.
Watching An Le’s flustered efforts in cooking for him, Lu Heng chuckled softly.
It seemed his decision was correct.
An Le wasn’t clumsy; the food he made was very much to Lu Heng’s liking. That day, Lu Heng ate everything on the table clean.
An Le also found his other value in Lu Heng’s eyes, always volunteering to cook for Lu Heng.
They were getting married.
But because of the lack of a household registration, An Le was still worried, and this time was both agonizing and fleeting.
With only four hours left, An Qiang still hadn’t sent the household registration.
An Le’s eyes were red with anxiety.
If even Lu Heng couldn’t force An Qiang to hand over his household registration, who else could restrain the An family?
At that time, perhaps even Lu Heng would be implicated, and Xiao Xiao wouldn’t fare well either.
An Le’s heart was in turmoil, and he kept spacing out during his painting class.
The omega teacher had been briefed beforehand, and under the influence of money, he was very gentle and patient: “Le Le, do you have something on your mind?”
Yes.
An Le’s eyes were red, but he didn’t speak. He did have something on his mind, but it wasn’t something he could tell others, at least not the teacher.
An Le didn’t speak, just lowered his head, avoiding looking at his phone screen.
The teacher had no choice. He secretly sent a message to Lu Heng while saying, “Then let’s do this, you’re not in the mood to study with something on your mind, let’s take a break today, shall we continue tomorrow?”
“Okay.”
An Le nodded in agreement. He really couldn’t focus; he was helpless.
“Then goodbye, Le Le.”
“Goodbye, teacher.”
After closing the video, An Le remained motionless on the sofa.
At this time, Lu Heng came out of the room.
An Le liked the spacious living room and liked to study painting on the living room sofa, so he hadn’t asked Lu Heng into the study.
If Lu Heng knew that An Le was secretly feeling down in the living room, he would definitely have called him to the study to be with him.
Lu Heng: “Le Le.”
“Sir.”
An Le looked up, his eyes full of dejection.
Lu Heng walked over, hugged him, and softly asked, “Are you worried that An Qiang won’t send your household registration?”
Hearing Lu Heng’s words, An Le thought he was amazing. He hadn’t even said anything, and Lu Heng already knew what he was thinking.
An Le felt a little wronged, but still nodded slightly, “Mm.”
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Heng: “Whether he sends it or not, I have ways to get you out of the An family. Don’t be afraid. Now, focus on your painting studies. Didn’t I say before, once you’ve improved, I’ll find you a job related to painting.”
After finishing, Lu Heng added, “Jobs related to painting have high salaries.”
Although An Le was still uneasy, he nodded to whatever Lu Heng said, “I…”
He was about to say he understood when the doorbell rang.
Both of them turned around at the same time and went to open the door.
Not many people knew Lu Heng’s address; the most frequent visitor was Li Jie.
Opening the door, they saw Li Jie standing at the doorway, holding a transparent sealed bag containing a page of household registration.
He handed the bag to Lu Heng and smiled, “He just sent it half an hour ago, I brought it to you immediately, surprise?”
Lu Heng didn’t speak, opened the bag, looked at the household registration, confirmed it was genuine, and then gave it to An Le.
Then he pushed Li Jie out the door and slammed the door shut.
Li Jie:…
An Le was also stunned. Holding the household registration, he felt happy and sad, but none of it compared to Li Jie being driven away.
He wiped away the tears that had fallen from excitement and asked incomprehensibly, “Sir, Li… Master Li…”
“Don’t worry about him.”
Lu Heng: “He’ll leave on his own.”
Li Jie was a money-grubber, working three jobs for him: life assistant, driver, and bodyguard.
Although he had a bit of a bad temper, he was useful, never losing a fight or argument.
He didn’t like to be high-profile when going out, only needing one person to handle so many things, which suited Lu Heng perfectly.
Driving someone out of the house without a word was impolite, but An Le dared not disobey Lu Heng.
He could only nod, take the household registration, sit down on the sofa, and examine it carefully.
This was the first time he had seen his own household registration.
And having this not only showed that An Qiang dared not confront Lu Heng, but also that he could get married to Lu Heng smoothly.
Everything would be alright.
An Le was lost in thought when he saw Lu Heng come out, dressed. Seeing him still sitting on the sofa, he frowned and asked, “Why are you still sitting there? Go change your clothes.”
Lu Heng wasn’t wearing a suit. In his opinion, marriage was a happy and relaxing event, not something that required a suit.
Therefore, he was wearing a red and white striped casual shirt. Compared to the formal black suit and white shirt, this outfit made Lu Heng look like he was back in his student days. A slight smile revealed his handsomeness and sunshine.
“Change clothes… for what?”
An Le looked up and was stunned.
He had two impressions of Lu Heng: initially serious and fierce, later outwardly fierce but inwardly gentle.
And now, he saw something else: Lu Heng could also be so sunny. He was really handsome, but if there wasn’t that scar at the end of his eyebrow, he would be even more handsome.
“To go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
He told An Le: “Wear your favorite clothes.”
An Le nodded blankly and softly said, “Okay.”
Although he was going to get the marriage certificate as soon as he got the household registration, An Le’s head was buzzing, unable to react, but Lu Heng was dressed so handsomely, he quickly changed his clothes obediently.
As soon as An Le left, Lu Heng’s face turned cold.
He touched the clothes on his body. This was the style he liked when he was twenty years old, and he hadn’t worn it for many years.
He didn’t want to leave a serious and fierce image on the marriage certificate; he felt that these clothes would make him look more energetic, and his expression wouldn’t be too fierce.
Sure enough, he saw amazement in An Le’s eyes.
Lu Heng smiled slowly, but then noticed that An Le’s phone on the sofa was ringing.
It was Xiao Xiao calling.
Lu Heng remembered this beta. He hesitated for a moment before answering, “Hello.”
