Chapter 95: AE19
Lin Zijun had come home, so Gu Xiu automatically moved back to the hotel apartment.
But recently, he had been commuting to and from work with Jin Chenhan frequently, and for the time being, he hadn’t thought of how to deal with his sharp superior.
But Jin Chenhan gave a third option and asked him, “Gu Xiu, are you going to my house after work to see Xiao Huang? I bought some toys for it that just arrived. You can go over and open them, and then play with it for a while?”
Gu Xiu’s eyes lit up. He was quite happy with this surprise unboxing activity. He also missed Xiao Huang, so it was killing two birds with one stone. Then he could just take a taxi back to the hotel from the large penthouse, which was just right.
When he arrived at the large penthouse, Gu Xiu first picked up the enthusiastic Xiao Huang and scratched the white fur on the little dog’s chin. He turned his head and suddenly saw Jin Chenhan rolling up his shirt sleeves and walking towards the kitchen. He skillfully took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and washed and processed them in a few strokes.
Sensing Gu Xiu’s curious gaze, he didn’t stop his movements. He was quick and neat. He said while working, “Gu Xiu, the packages I bought for Xiao Huang are all by the window. You can go and open them.”
But Gu Xiu held Xiao Huang and hesitated, blinking his eyes and looking left and right. After a long while, he asked, “Mr. Jin… can you cook?”
“Mm,” Jin Chenhan took a glance at him in his busy schedule. “You made me breakfast last time. This is a return gift.”
Gu Xiu was a little embarrassed. “What I made was very ordinary… and also very simple.”
Jin Chenhan smiled lightly. “But your heart was in it. I think it was very good.”
Gu Xiu opened his mouth, then closed it again. A subtle and indescribable feeling rose in his heart. He turned around uncomfortably and went to open the packages with Xiao Huang.
As a moral model, the protagonist gong was indeed gentle, polite, and of high quality. His words and actions were full of gentlemanly grace. But he didn’t give people the feeling of being as distant as an ordinary upper-class person, as if he were wearing a mask. On the contrary, he was very down-to-earth and approachable, and the praise he gave was sincere and just right. He was an extremely excellent guide.
No wonder he was an Enigma.
Not to mention that he could get the timid and weak Omega protagonist shou who would shiver at the sight of him. Getting along with him, even Gu Xiu, who was an Alpha rival in love, did not feel any discomfort.
When he first came over, Xiao Huang had greeted him enthusiastically. After being held for a long time, it began to rebel. He held Xiao Huang and squatted down to open the packages. Xiao Huang found an opportunity, and its two front paws climbed onto his shoulder. With a leap, it jumped directly from his shoulder and landed steadily.
The fluffy puppy’s fur brushed against the side of his neck, causing a strange itching sensation. Gu Xiu raised his hand to touch it, and his fingertips touched the corner of the inhibitor patch.
Last time, here, on the night of the Enigma’s heat, the Enigma’s canines had brushed against this place, almost biting his Alpha gland…
Gu Xiu couldn’t control his wild thoughts for a moment. He was both scared and had more indescribable strange feelings. He seemed not to be repulsed by being so intimate with an Enigma, but it definitely shouldn’t have been him who was bitten on the back of the neck.
“…Gu Xiu?”
“Ah!”
Gu Xiu was startled. He subconsciously looked up and back. Because he had been squatting and in a daze for a long time, he couldn’t stand up at once and instead sat on the ground with a plop.
The tall Enigma was standing behind him, and there was a huge gap between him and him, who was sitting on the ground. But there was no sense of oppression, mainly because of the smile that was not suppressed at the corner of the Enigma’s lips.
Gu Xiu was embarrassed, and his earlobes were hot. He simply sat on the ground and didn’t move, forcing himself to be calm. “What’s wrong, Mr. Jin?”
“I forgot to ask you just now if you have any dietary restrictions. And, is there anything you want to eat?” Jin Chenhan said. “I’m sorry. Usually, no one comes to my house, and I’ve never cooked for anyone else. I was negligent.”
“Ah…” only then did Gu Xiu stand up, blinking his eyes uncomfortably. “I’m fine with anything. There’s nothing I don’t eat.”
Jin Chenhan still asked cautiously, “Then do you have any allergies?”
Gu Xiu shook his head. “I don’t think so… I’m not sure.”
“Besides work, you really don’t care about anything else,” Jin Chenhan smiled helplessly. “Then I’ll try a few of the dishes we had outside last time. I saw that you liked them very much, but what I make is definitely not as good as the restaurant outside.”
Gu Xiu quickly said, “I’m really not picky. I’ll love whatever you make.”
Jin Chenhan was so moved by his words that for the first time, he was particularly enthusiastic about serving someone and cooking for them.
After the meal, Gu Xiu took the initiative to offer to help with the dishes.
The luxurious large penthouse was fully equipped with all sorts of modern kitchen and bathroom appliances. Jin Chenhan did not stop this attentiveness and let his little top secretary get busy, creating a lively and harmonious home atmosphere.
“You can just stack the bowls and chopsticks together and put them in the dishwasher.”
Gu Xiu happily took over the work. “Then, Mr. Jin, you can go and rest. I’ll do it.”
Jin Chenhan: “Then I’ll go and see Xiao Huang.”
The topic of their conversation became more and more intimate and everyday.
“Mm,” Gu Xiu was oblivious. “Xiao Huang likes that ball the most. You can throw it and let it chase it…”
Jin Chenhan found the ball that Gu Xiu had mentioned, and then he went to find Xiao Huang. He passed by the coffee table in the living room and inadvertently glanced at it. Gu Xiu’s phone was unguardedly placed there. The phone screen lit up, and a new message popped up.
Jin Chenhan’s footsteps paused slightly. He looked at Gu Xiu, who was in the dining room, took another step forward, and slightly lowered his head, using his excellent eyesight to distinguish the small words on the screen.
Zijun: 【Gu Xiu, when are you coming back?】
Zijun: 【Can we have a good talk in person?】
Zijun: 【Reply to me when you’re done.】
Jin Chenhan’s gray eyes dimmed slightly.
He could confirm that Gu Xiu did not like this Omega, but the 100% compatibility was not to be underestimated. The two were also a reasonable and legitimate engaged couple. To say that there was nothing between them, and that they were self-restrained, was almost impossible.
Jin Chenhan unconsciously ground his sharp canines.
At least, the current Gu Xiu had no Omega pheromone scent on him at all. He could take advantage of this period of their disharmonious relationship and use his own powerful Enigma pheromones to slowly mark this Alpha all over…
So that his Omega could no longer get close to him.
Ding-ling-ling—
Gu Xiu’s phone rang again.
Jin Chenhan seized the time to glance at it. The caller ID was “Mom.” Gu Xiu was attracted by the sound and said “sorry” to Jin Chenhan, then took his phone to the side to answer the call.
“Mom… what’s wrong?” Gu Xiu awkwardly dealt with his mother in this small world.
First, she asked about his well-being, and then she gradually revealed her true purpose, sending a barrage of urging him to get married and have children.
At this moment, Gu Xiu finally deeply empathized with the original owner, and they were united against a common enemy.
Jin Chenhan couldn’t hear the woman’s voice on the phone, but he could see Gu Xiu’s furrowed brow, and he could also infer the cause and effect from his lowered voice.
“What’s what… I’m in the rising period of my career now. I don’t want a child.”
“I don’t want Lin Zijun’s child even more. Can you stop rushing us?”
“Freeze my card? Whatever you want. It’s not like I don’t have a job… You can also do whatever you want with the house. In the end, it’s Lin Zijun who will have nowhere to live, not me.”
“Stop talking! I’m hanging up!”
Gu Xiu finally knew how those young people who would have a big fight every time they went home for the New Year felt.
He turned around with a resentful face, only to find that Jin Chenhan was sizing him up and even asked considerately, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”
Gu Xiu quickly composed himself, cleared his throat, and explained, “It’s just a family matter. It’s nothing.”
“Your parents really want to have a grandchild, but unfortunately, you don’t like your Omega fiancée,” Jin Chenhan said, hitting the nail on the head. He looked at Gu Xiu with calm eyes, and then he made a rather shocking suggestion. “Although you’re an Alpha, but…”
Gu Xiu quickly asked, “But what?”
Jin Chenhan paused for a long time, his gaze at him filled with endless deep meaning. After a long while, he spoke again, “But, you can also have one yourself.”
Gu Xiu’s face was blank. “…What?”
Jin Chenhan turned to the side, threw the ball to tease the dog, and then he said nonchalantly, “Do you know about Enigmas?”
Gu Xiu frowned, having a gut feeling that something was wrong. He first asked his useless dog-headed strategist 007, 【Is Mr. Jin hinting at something?】
【He’s probably just testing you, right?】 007 said. 【The legitimate gongs in our Jinjiang are all like this. They’ll show their more awesome identity to make the scum gong back off!】
That also made sense.
But the scum gong he was playing did not know Jin Chenhan’s background. Faced with this question, he could only pretend to be stupid and reply, “Enigma? That kind of fictional setting in a novel?”
Jin Chenhan paused. “Novels also come from reality. In history, there have been a few Enigmas, but they just didn’t attract much attention.”
“I see… as for a child, I really don’t have any thoughts,” Gu Xiu walked past him, picked up Xiao Huang, who was playing with a ball by himself, and rubbed the soft little dog, revealing a genuine smile. “I do quite like little dogs though.”
Jin Chenhan’s deep gaze fell on the corner of his lips, unwavering, and he didn’t even look at Xiao Huang when he spoke.
“Mm, I also like little dogs very much… obedient, well-behaved ones. A little dog that belongs only to me.”
“Little dog” had made Jin Chenhan’s two-point life rich and colorful.
First was the yellow-furred mongrel named “Xiao Huang.” The little puppy had just been adopted and had to adapt to a new environment, get dewormed, vaccinated, and get a dog license. He also had to take Xiao Huang out for a walk every morning, which was very busy.
Secondly was his Alpha secretary, in whom his interest was growing day by day. He was clearly an Alpha, but he was respectful and extremely submissive to him, even more obedient than the not-yet-recognized Xiao Huang, and he had none of an Alpha’s arrogant habits.
Besides, he was an Enigma. No matter how powerful an Alpha was, wouldn’t he have to tremble and submit in fear in front of him?
It could be said that he had no guard against such a Gu Xiu at all.
So much so that, in the end, the “little dog” he had taken a fancy to had put on a punishment collar and had been electrocuted into a sorry state, repeatedly climaxing. Before one wave had subsided, Gu Xiu had come to him with a red face, looking at him with his distinct black and white, pure and innocent eyes, and then… had put handcuffs on him.
And then, was the muzzle.
During the lunch break on a weekday, Jin Chenhan was lying on a recliner in the CEO’s office, his hands behind his head. His brain was like an out-of-control automatic projector, repeatedly playing that out-of-control and shameful night.
He unconsciously furrowed his brow and was not sleeping very soundly.
“Woof, woof…”
A puppy’s bark was faintly heard.
Huh?
Jin Chenhan opened his tired and heavy eyelids and sat up in a daze.
From the tightly closed office door, a yellow-furred little dog, like a large mouse, sneakily pushed open the door, drilled in, and sniffed around. Finally, its gaze locked on him, its round, black grape-like eyes fixed on him.
Before Jin Chenhan could react to how Xiao Huang had appeared in the office, he saw Xiao Huang rushing towards him, leaping high, and emitting a dazzling white light in mid-air. Its body suddenly grew several times larger, almost the same size as a tall Alpha—
Thump! Da Huang landed heavily, accurately pouncing on him.
Jin Chenhan was pressed on the chest by two front paws and was forced to lie back down. His astonished and intertwined gray eyes stared at the giant Da Huang, who was sticking out its tongue and drooling.
“Xiao… no, Da Huang?” Jin Chenhan asked hesitantly, reached out his hand, and carefully stroked the white fur on the big dog’s chin. His voice was warm, heavy, and commanding. “Be good… I’m your master.”
“Woof~” Da Huang immediately became excited and took the initiative to rub against him. Its large, red tongue stretched out and licked his face.
Jin Chenhan held back the sticky and uncomfortable feeling, closed his eyes to prevent the saliva from seeping in, and kept his mouth tightly closed, waiting for Da Huang, who was pressing on him, to calm down on its own.
Da Huang licked him a few times, and its movements gradually became gentle, from a saliva shampoo to a kiss on the cheek. He vaguely felt that something was not right. Suddenly, a hand was picked up, and a small tongue licked back and forth between his fingers.
Jin Chenhan frowned. Da Huang’s movements had clearly become smaller, but the weight on him was still real…
Jin Chenhan slowly opened his eyes.
Taking in the situation in front of him, his pupils suddenly constricted.
The one pressing on him was indeed “Da Huang,” with two yellow, soft, folded ears on its head, but the face below… clearly belonged to a human. Monolids, a high nose, bright black eyes, and thin red lips.
Jin Chenhan murmured in disbelief, “…Gu Xiu?”
At this moment, Gu Xiu had the habits and mentality of a puppy. He did not react to his own name and was still holding his hand, licking it incessantly.
Jin Chenhan’s throat rolled. His gaze moved down, and the Alpha’s legs were spread open, just straddling him.
Behind him, faintly visible, was the Alpha’s fluffy tail, which was wagging wildly with excitement.
Before long, Jin Chenhan had digested this incredible situation and was enjoying it.
He reached out his hand to stroke the Alpha’s soft black hair, all the way to the dog’s ears, and rubbed the Alpha until he squinted his eyes and purred. He turned his command into warm water and quietly seeped it in. “Good boy, obey me.”
Gu Xiaogou was confused and replied with a woof and a whimper.
Jin Chenhan suppressed the crazy lust that was surging in his eyes, hooked Gu Xiaogou’s chin, and spread his fingers, gently holding his neck like a collar.
“I picked you up and brought you home, fed you, and took care of you. I am your only master. You belong only to me,” Jin Chenhan said. “You exist for me. Do you understand?”
“Mmm…”
Gu Xiaogou tilted his head in confusion.
Jin Chenhan gently stroked the side of his neck, as if he were tentatively testing his gland, stopping just short. He withdrew his fingers and brushed against Gu Xiaogou’s wet red lips.
“Continue to lick.”
Gu Xiaogou obediently stuck out his tongue.
Jin Chenhan’s breathing became more and more rapid.
Gu Xiaogou seemed to be affected by him as well. His movements gradually became restless. Licking his fingers through the gloves was no longer enough. He leaned down again, rubbing against him while washing his face with saliva.
When Gu Xiaogou was in a daze, he suddenly spoke in human language. “Mr. Jin, I, I want…”
Gu Xiaogou stammered, word by word.
“I want to give you a little puppy.”
Jin Chenhan was stunned.
However, the next second, his body felt light. Gu Xiaogou suddenly retracted his dog ears and dog tail and turned into the ascetic and cold secretary he usually was, and calmly got off him.
Jin Chenhan hurriedly stood up and called out, “Gu Xiu!”
However, Gu Xiu’s attitude was cold. He did not answer and turned to leave.
“Gu Xiu!”
Jin Chenhan was in a panic and hurriedly wanted to chase after him, but he accidentally rolled off the sofa.
Bang!
His forehead hit the hard corner of the coffee table next to him, and Jin Chenhan woke up as if from a big dream.
There was no shadow of Gu Xiu in the office, and the main door was also quietly closed.
He covered the part of his forehead that had been hit, but he felt that the inside of his brain was even more painful, a tangled mess.
Last time, Doctor Hou had said that his mental power was getting worse and worse, and he had worriedly asked him if he had symptoms of emotional instability, memory decline, and even hallucinations…
Although the Gu Xiu who had just grown dog ears and a dog tail and had taken the initiative to lick and rub against him was clearly a hallucination, his body was very honest and had given a standing response.
Having figured out the cause and effect, his face was unchanged. He skillfully pulled down the blanket on the sofa and wrapped it around himself.
The next second, the office door was pushed open.
Gu Xiu had knocked on the door several times with no response. Worried that something had happened to his superior, he had tentatively and quietly pushed the door open a crack. Seeing that he was sitting on the ground with his head in his hands, he quickly stepped forward with concern. “…Mr. Jin!”
Jin Chenhan released the hand that was covering his head, and Gu Xiu was even more shocked. “Are you okay? Your forehead is swollen…”
“I’m fine…”
Jin Chenhan was not a person who cared about this little injury, but there was a meeting later. He took out his phone to look at his forehead, was silent for a moment, and instructed the worried Gu Xiu, “Go and look in the drawer in the lower right corner of the bookshelf. There should be a first-aid kit there.”
“Okay… I’ve found it!” Gu Xiu quickly completed his superior’s instructions and cautiously asked for his opinion. “Mr. Jin, this external anti-swelling ointment, is it okay?”
“…It’s fine.”
“Mr. Jin, let me apply it for you.”
The Alpha was full of work, and his two restless hands were like fluttering little bird wings.
Only at this moment did Jin Chenhan finally withdraw his somewhat rude gaze, which had been on the Alpha’s back and buttocks.
There was no dog tail there.
