Chapter 100: Ye Zhile
At the Leng family mansion, Leng Xingtu crossed his arms and looked at the bodyguards at his door. Every one of them was tall and fierce, with muscles that were almost larger than Leng Xingtu’s head. It was impossible to fight his way out.
Whenever Leng Xingtu walked into the garden, someone followed behind him. Seeing a warehouse not far away, he had a sudden idea. Before the bodyguards could react, he dashed into the warehouse and locked it from the inside.
“Young Master!” The bodyguards realized what happened and hurried over to knock on the door. “Quickly, notify the Master!”
“Thinking you can trap your grandfather? Keep dreaming!” Leng Xingtu escaped through the warehouse window. The Omega was full of energy; he ran all the way to the perimeter wall and climbed up in a few swift motions.
“Wow!” Outside the wall, Ye Zhichen had appeared at some point. He sat in his sports car, took off his sunglasses, and looked at Leng Xingtu with interest. He curled his lips. “The great Young Master Leng, living such a pathetic life?”
Leng Xingtu glared at him. “You’re still making sarcastic remarks? Hurry up and pick me up!”
“I came here to elope with you, not to watch you climb walls in secret. We have to do this openly and honestly, okay?” Ye Zhichen teased.
“Elope my ass! What nonsense are you talking about!?” Leng Xingtu was stuck halfway, unsure whether to go up or down. Ye Zhichen put on his sunglasses, waved at him, and said, “Get down. We’re going through the front gate!”
“Eh?!” Leng Xingtu saw him drive straight toward the front gate after saying that. He had no choice but to go back.
Leng Xingtu hadn’t expected that Ye Zhichen would actually go find his old man! Holy crap! He just wanted to sneak out and play, not make it a matter of public knowledge!
“Major Ye!” Father Leng looked at Ye Zhichen with a cheerful face. “Please, have a seat.”
“No need, Uncle Leng. I’m here today to take Xingtu out to play.” Ye Zhichen was neither humble nor arrogant, maintaining a mature and steady demeanor. He glanced at the shocked Leng Xingtu and smiled. “Uncle Leng might not know, but I am currently pursuing Xingtu, so I’ve taken the liberty of coming to the house. I hope Uncle Leng won’t take offense.”
“Not at all, not at all, it’s just… I didn’t know you and my Xingtu…” Father Leng looked at his youngest son. Leng Xingtu was also bewildered and spread his hands—I don’t know!
What the hell! What was this guy Ye Zhichen playing at? How did he not know Ye Zhichen was pursuing him?!
Ye Zhichen suppressed a smile and said, “It’s just that I have these intentions toward Xingtu; he doesn’t know yet.”
“Oh~” Father Leng suddenly understood. He was quite satisfied with Ye Zhichen. Becoming a Legion Major at such a young age meant he certainly had a bright future. He smiled and said, “I only kept him at home because of the pheromone gene modification business; it’s been quite serious lately, and I was worried.”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Leng. I will protect him,” Ye Zhichen said smoothly.
“Good, good.” Father Leng nodded toward Leng Xingtu. “Go on, have fun with Major Ye.”
“……” Leng Xingtu gave his own father a look of disdain. With this look, his father seemed eager to marry him off right then and there.
Having successfully made it out, Leng Xingtu sat in Ye Zhichen’s car and complained, “What nonsense were you telling my old man? He’s going to overthink it.”
Ye Zhichen glanced at him, his eyes carrying a smile. “I wasn’t talking nonsense. I’m serious.”
Leng Xingtu’s hand fastening the seatbelt paused, and his face turned visibly red. Seeing this, Ye Zhichen teased, “Yo, our Young Master Leng is that pure-hearted?”
“……” Leng Xingtu slapped his arm. “Are you sick?!”
“Haha…” Ye Zhichen laughed. “I’m really serious. I’m pursuing you. Otherwise, would I be bored enough to come find you to play?”
“Oh, then put me back,” Leng Xingtu said dismissively.
“No way, can’t you feel it?” Ye Zhichen’s eyes widened. “An Alpha taking such good care of an Omega—what else could it be but liking them?”
Leng Xingtu remained silent. How could he not feel it? But one couldn’t assume affection in an uncertain situation, right? That would be very embarrassing. Leng Xingtu raised an eyebrow. “It could also be for a friend.”
“Friend? What friend?!” Ye Zhichen said indignantly. “I don’t have any Omega friends. Other than Lele, who is my own brother, I haven’t been this good to any other Omega.”
Ye Zhichen realized what he had said and slapped his own mouth. “I wasn’t formal enough. You don’t have to worry about it now. Wait until the day I formally confess to you, then you can consider it.”
“I won’t agree,” Leng Xingtu muttered.
Ye Zhichen noticed from the corner of his eye that Leng Xingtu wasn’t very happy, so he stopped the car. “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”
Leng Xingtu glared at him. “Who gives a ‘preview’ for a confession? Your head must have been caught in a door!”
Ye Zhichen paused. He wanted to take the Omega’s hand but felt it would be impolite. His face was full of guilt. “That… don’t be angry. I just thought a confession wouldn’t be much of a surprise if you didn’t like me.”
Seeing him with his head down like a big dog that had done something wrong, Leng Xingtu burst out laughing. “Fine, I won’t hold it against a lifelong bachelor like you.”
“Then I thank Young Master Leng.” Ye Zhichen was very good at taking the mile once given an inch.
“Let me call Lele and have him come out to play.” With that, Leng Xingtu pulled out his phone.
“Wait, this is our date. Why are you calling him to be a third wheel?” Ye Zhichen asked, confused.
“Who’s on a date with you! Are you insane!” Leng Xingtu was shy and angry!
When Leng Xingtu called Ye Zhile, the latter was taking a nap at home. Hearing that Leng Xingtu was with his second brother, he very tactfully rejected the invitation and added, “Then you two have fun~ You must have a great time~”
Ye Zhile hung up the phone and got out of bed with a yawn. Ji Shuohan had also returned, bringing him a specially ordered cake. Ye Zhile looked at him suspiciously. “What made you think of bringing me a cake?”
“I asked Wei Xichu what Omegas like to eat, and he said sweets, so I had one custom-made.” Ji Shuohan handed the small cake decorated with freesia patterns to Ye Zhile. “I thought you might like it.”
“I quite like the cake.” Ye Zhile took it and looked up with a smile. “But I don’t really like the person who gave it to me.”
With that, Ye Zhile turned and went upstairs.
“……” Ji Shuohan stood there, speechless.
Back in his room, Ye Zhile opened the cake box. The cake was only about the size of a fist, but the decorations were exquisite, and the lines of the freesias were beautifully drawn. Ye Zhile looked at it with joy, feeling a bit reluctant to eat it.
“Ye Zhile.”
At first, Ye Zhile thought it was Ji Shuohan calling him, but the voice sounded wrong. He turned around abruptly to see a strange, fierce-looking man standing behind him. Those eyes were just like the ones he had seen that day—sinister and terrifying…
The pure white freesia cake crashed to the floor, its petals falling. The room was empty…
