[Side CP Extra] Their First Life 11
“I didn’t…”
Chen Zirui wanted to deny it, but Xiang Wanxing cut him off immediately.
“Don’t try to fool me. If you keep lying to me, I’ll have no choice but to have people investigate.”
This wasn’t a joke. Chen Zirui had spent enough time with Xiang Wanxing to know this was just his nature.
Even for the smallest matter, once Xiang Wanxing set his mind to it, he would get to the bottom of it.
That was why Chen Zirui was actually quite afraid of Xiang Wanxing sometimes. It reached the point where he couldn’t even lie properly anymore; he’d be exposed in a second.
“Hmm?” Xiang Wanxing hummed lightly. His tone was gentle, yet the pressure radiating from him was immense. “Who hit you?”
Chen Zirui pursed his lips and compromised, answering in a whisper.
“It was my father.”
Xiang Wanxing’s brows knitted instantly, his voice turning abruptly cold.
“Why did he hit you?”
Actually, he wanted to ask, what gives him the right to hit you? But considering the man was Chen Zirui’s father after all, he suppressed his intense possessiveness.
“Sigh, if he wants to hit me, he hits me. Does he need a reason?”
That was all Chen Zirui could say.
He couldn’t exactly tell the truth—that he had punched the illegitimate son, and instead of standing by him, Father Chen had slapped him so hard he nearly went deaf.
He couldn’t say it; it made him seem too useless and pitiful.
Seeing Chen Zirui keep his mouth shut tight, Xiang Wanxing realized he probably wouldn’t get anything more out of him, so he decided not to force the issue.
He was afraid that if he pushed too hard, Chen Zirui would distance himself.
“Alright, I won’t ask anymore.” Xiang Wanxing pulled the man into his arms and kissed his earlobe. “Next time, you aren’t allowed to hide from me like this. If you don’t listen, I’ll have to learn from Xie Miaohan and lock you up.”
Chen Zirui’s pupils constricted, and he stammered in fright, “Would you… would you really do that?”
Xiang Wanxing didn’t answer, which was tantamount to a silent admission.
“Holy shit, you two really are birds of a feather!” Chen Zirui pushed angrily at Xiang Wanxing’s chest. “We live in a society governed by law; you can’t just lock people up whenever you feel like it.”
“Wouldn’t it be fine if you just didn’t hide from me?” Xiang Wanxing rested his chin on Zirui’s shoulder, his mood improving. “Did you miss me?”
Chen Zirui was about to deny it when he heard Xiang Wanxing threaten, “If you say you didn’t, I’ll take back the two hundred thousand.”
Chen Zirui: “……” Why do you even ask?
“I did.”
This was his Sugar Daddy; nobody holds a grudge against money.
“Good.” Xiang Wanxing curled his lips and tightened his arms around him. “I missed you too.”
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Chen Zirui’s expression shifted slightly, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.
Fortunately, Xiang Wanxing didn’t seem to be waiting for a response. After a while, he released Chen Zirui and kissed his left cheek with a doting look.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore, right?”
“It stopped hurting a long time ago.” Chen Zirui didn’t dare meet Xiang Wanxing’s eyes, afraid his heart rate would speed up.
“Where are you staying now?”
“Why do you ask?” Chen Zirui seemed unhappy. “You aren’t trying to check up on me, are you?”
“No, I’m just concerned about you,” Xiang Wanxing said. “I have top-tier VIP services at all the major hotels in District A, covering all meals and drinks. If you don’t want me to book a hotel for you, then forget it.”
Chen Zirui’s eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly hugged Xiang Wanxing’s arm.
“I want to! I super want to!”
Xiang Wanxing gazed deeply at Chen Zirui’s face, thinking, if only proposing marriage could go this smoothly.
“You go to the Gu family home first. I’ll wait for you in the car. When you’re done, I’ll take you to the hotel.”
“You got it!” Chen Zirui did something rare and took the initiative to kiss Xiang Wanxing on the lips. “You treat me the best.”
After Chen Zirui got out of the car, Xiang Wanxing watched him walk inside through the window, then raised his hand to gently touch his own lips.
Realizing what he was doing, Xiang Wanxing lowered his head and laughed.
It seemed he really had fallen for him.
He thought he would never love anyone in this lifetime, but after meeting Chen Zirui, everything changed.
Fortunately, nothing was seriously wrong with Father Gu. He had another checkup before being discharged; his blood pressure was just a bit high, and he needed to change his dietary habits.
Chen Zirui chatted with Father Gu for a while, comforting him not to worry too much about Gu Huaiye, assuring him that he had contacts in District B who would help look after him.
Thinking of Xiang Wanxing waiting outside, he didn’t stay too long and came out in less than half an hour.
Walking to the villa entrance, a sudden craving for a cigarette hit him. He patted his pockets and realized he had forgotten to bring any.
He had no choice but to walk to the luxury car and lean down to speak to Xiang Wanxing.
“Do you have a cigarette?”
Xiang Wanxing shook his head. “I don’t smoke.”
Chen Zirui’s eyes went wide as if he were looking at a rare species.
“For real? There’s actually someone who doesn’t smoke?”
Xiang Wanxing felt a bit speechless and looked up at him. “Does Chen Xialin smoke?”
“No.”
Chen Zirui then remembered that while this guy was a bit fierce in bed, he was still a genuine Omega.
He scratched his head awkwardly. “Sorry, I forgot you are…”
Xiang Wanxing glared at him, and Chen Zirui swallowed the word “Omega.”
Since there were no cigarettes to smoke, Chen Zirui could only open the door and get in.
As he looked down to fasten his seatbelt, Xiang Wanxing suddenly spoke.
“I used to smoke, but I quit after I differentiated.” Xiang Wanxing thought of the past, his expression turning somewhat cold. “Too many people wanted to catch me making a mistake. An Omega smoking at a noble banquet is an anomaly; it damages my father’s reputation. I had no choice but to quit.”
After hearing this, Chen Zirui didn’t know how to comfort him.
He held it in for a long time before saying something rather useless.
“An Omega who constantly hangs around the army is an anomaly too.”
Xiang Wanxing was amused by him, and the hostility between his brows vanished without a trace.
“As expected of the person I chose; you’re too interesting.” Xiang Wanxing smiled and said, “An Alpha who can be topped by an Omega is also an anomaly. So, we are both anomalies. Anomalies attract.”
“Tch, if you have the guts, let me top you once.”
Xiang Wanxing refused without a second thought.
“No. I hate the feeling of losing control. I can satisfy you in anything, except for this.”
Chen Zirui felt a little regret, but not much. After all, he was the one taking the money; he couldn’t exactly let his Sugar Daddy be f*cked.
Besides, Xiang Wanxing really did serve him well. No matter how he looked at it, he wasn’t losing out.
Except for one thing…
Chen Zirui felt stifled keeping it in, so he couldn’t help but ask.
“How many people have you slept with?”
He didn’t specify Alphas; he felt Xiang Wanxing could go both ways—maybe even Betas were fair game.
Xiang Wanxing raised an eyebrow, tilting his head to meet Chen Zirui’s gaze.
“How many do you think?”
Hearing Xiang Wanxing say that, Chen Zirui’s heart went cold.
“Hmph, forget it if you won’t say. Must be a lot anyway.”
Xiang Wanxing let out a “Pfft” of laughter and, right in front of the driver, pinched Chen Zirui’s butt.
“Me…” Xiang Wanxing paused, his eyes gentle. “I’ve only f*cked your ass.”
