Chapter 50
The mountaintop was silent. A thick darkness rose from the valley floor, but the carved street lamps stubbornly cast a warm yellow light into the night, isolating a secret territory in the darkness.
Bai Yan closed his eyes, his head tilted back slightly. His drooping lashes trembled, and the heel he had lifted slowly returned to the ground as the man leaned in.
The Alpha’s large hand remained steady on the small of the young man’s back. The scorching heat of his palm seemed to pass through their clothes and into his body, as if to melt him completely.
Yet, the Omega did not retreat in the slightest.
He let the orange blossom pheromones completely surround him, invading his chest through his breath, then spreading to his limbs and every part of his body, gradually occupying all his senses, as if he were being invaded from the inside out.
Bai Yan was a good student, eager to learn. Even with his ears burning and his heart pounding like a drum, he maintained his passion for learning, focused and attentive, and asked the man for guidance.
Like countless times before, in a field he had never set foot in, he completely handed over the initiative to the man, obedient, innocent, and trusting.
But he was wrong this time. In love, Pei Tingyu was also a beginner.
Compared to the chaotic intimacy of his last rut, this was their first real kiss.
The man held the young man’s face with cherish, his dark eyes thicker than the night, not blinking as he gazed at the young man’s flushed face.
No longer just a light taste, no longer a touch-and-go.
His lips held a tentative exploration, like the most gentle and patient hunter, who, because of love, cherished him even more.
The man’s tongue licked over his full lower lip, and when the Omega’s breathing became ragged and his lips parted slightly, he forcefully pushed his way in.
“Mmph…!”
It felt as if all the blood in his body had rushed to his head. Bai Yan’s hand clenched the collar of his shirt, and then, as the man’s tongue gently slid over his upper palate, he slowly relaxed.
The sweet, fresh scent of jasmine and orange blossom mingled, exceptionally rich, spreading between their entwined lips and tongues.
The touch of their lips was unrealistically soft, like a hazy dream. The coolness of the mountain wind quickly melted away, but the sweetness in their mouths continued to heat up.
After an unknown amount of time, the Alpha slowly pulled back. Their foreheads touched as they calmed their intertwined breaths.
The young man looked up in a daze, his cherry-pink eyes misty with moisture, his lashes trembling. His soft lips were half-parted, revealing a hint of pale pink, like a subtle invitation.
The orange blossom pheromones could no longer hide their possessiveness. They once again wrapped around the Omega before him, driving away all the strange scents on him, leaving not a trace.
The Alpha’s Adam’s apple bobbed with difficulty. His prideful self-control completely collapsed, and he leaned down again, covering the place that had haunted his dreams.
The streetlights stretched their overlapping shadows. Under the starry sky, the lovers held each other tightly, never to be separated again.
At eleven o’clock at night, the Pagani arrived at Yǎyuán on time.
“Goodnight.” Pei Tingyu placed a soft kiss on Bai Yan’s forehead and watched with a gentle gaze as the dizzy, blushing Omega turned, opened his door, and stepped onto the thick wool carpet, walking in step by step.
After washing up, the Omega’s cheeks were still hot, completely like a ripe white tangyuan, even the jasmine filling was sweet.
The young man was immersed in sweetness, hugging the rabbit toy that had been promoted to the status of a pillow, his soft lips constantly curving upwards.
Xian sheng, I like you, I like you so much.
Spring is the season for kissing. Every flower blooms on the lovers’ heads.
A kiss would always start unexpectedly. Perhaps it was a simple meeting of the eyes, or an abrupt end to a conversation, or perhaps a tacit understanding when they were alone.
They were both the most eager students of love, and their clumsy kisses soon became familiar.
At the end, Bai Yan would always blush, his heart pounding, and marvel at how, even though they were learning at the same pace, his husband knew so much more than him.
Mm, it seems he still needs more practice.
Oz’s master was very happy, but his master’s Oz was very troubled. Because his masters were together every day, they had no time to play with him.
After finally getting some time together through a lot of begging and acting cute, they would always disappear together, making the dog so anxious he would search everywhere.
After finally finding his two masters in a corner, his little master’s hair would be a mess, his face very red, and his mouth even wetter and redder. And his big master’s clothes would be disheveled, a gentle smile on his cold face.
Dog tilts his head. Dog doesn’t understand. Dog thinks big master is secretly bullying little master behind dog’s back. Dog will secretly chew up big master’s shirt to get revenge for little master!
He would also righteously sneak into the greenhouse, fiercely dig up a few pots of newly planted orchids, and earn himself a good beating and a time-out.
Dog is wronged!!
Facts proved that the look of love in a person’s eyes could not be hidden.
Lin Yu was cutting fruit and looked doubtfully at Bai Yan beside him, who was glancing at his phone every few minutes.
The young man’s face was rosy, his eyes crystal clear, and his soft lips were constantly curving upwards, the smile on his face impossible to hide.
Both his clothes and his temperament were a world apart from a few months ago.
Like a spring cherry blossom, washed by the rain and settled by time, it had finally shaken off the gray dust and was blooming again in the spring.
Anyone with eyes could see that the young man was being well taken care of by his partner.
Lin Yu was a Beta. Otherwise, he would have noticed that the young man’s entire body, from the inside out, was saturated with a rich scent of orange blossom pheromones.
Even though he hadn’t been marked yet, it showed the Alpha’s unparalleled love and his as-yet-unrealized possessiveness.
Alright, the Beta withdrew his gaze, pouted, and his subtle annoyance with the great CEO Pei finally lessened a bit.
He leaned closer to Bai Yan, who was focused on mixing the cream, and asked lazily, “It’s rare for you not to have a part-time job today. What made you think of asking me to make a cake? Don’t you dislike sweets?”
Bai Yan: “Do I? I just don’t like things that are too sweet… um, sweets.”
Under his friend’s “Are you kidding me” frown, the young man quickly surrendered, a blush appearing on his cheeks as he whispered his secret, “Mr. Pei likes sweets. He went to the company today.”
“I wanted to try making one for him.”
Bai Yan was a little embarrassed. He had never had a talent for cooking. The food he made was barely edible, definitely not delicious.
He also didn’t want to trouble the master chefs at Yǎyuán. Knowing his friend had no plans this weekend, he had specially asked him for help.
Lin Yu was speechless.
Heh, he knew it.
Really, who hasn’t been in love?
Lin Yu put the cut fruit to the side, his interest waning. “So after you make it, you’ll just take it to him?”
Heh, so thoughtful.
Bai Yan thought for a moment and shook his head. “No, I’ll take it back to Yǎyuán. Mr. Pei’s office seems to be quite far, and I’ve never been there.”
Lin Yu’s action of adjusting the oven suddenly paused. He turned and asked, “You haven’t been to his company yet?”
Bai Yan asked, puzzled, “No, what’s wrong?”
The Pei Corporation was located in the east of Haicheng, quite far from both Haicheng University and Yǎyuán. He had indeed never made a special trip there.
Lin Yu was exasperated. Does his friend have any awareness of being married? At least he’s the CEO’s wife. Shouldn’t he go to the company and show his face?
Let all those company executives see him. If their relationship breaks down in the future, he’ll still get half the assets in a divorce.
A flash of inspiration struck the Beta. He suddenly said, “Then you can go to his company today.”
“Otherwise, by the time you get it home, the cream will have all melted. What will he eat then?” Lin Yu persuaded him, his tone full of good intentions for Bai Yan.
Bai Yan slowly frowned, disagreeing. “That’s not a good idea, is it? Won’t it affect Mr. Pei’s work?”
“Of course not. He’d probably be delighted to see you—the cake base is ready, hurry up and take it out!” Lin Yu’s tone changed, not giving the young man any more time to think.
“Oh, okay.”
“Piping the cream like this will look prettier…”
“Okay, okay.”
“Are you sure you want to add that much sugar?” This was the first time Lin Yu had felt sympathy for the CEO Pei he had never met.
“Ah, is it a lot?” Bai Yan looked at the powdered sugar bag, which was a third smaller, and looked up blankly.
“No, no, it’s not a lot.” Oh well, maybe CEO Pei likes it this sweet.
An hour later, a small cake covered in strawberries appeared before them.
Although the cream piping on top was crooked and the cream on the sides was not neat, it could still barely be called a cake.
Lin Yu’s mouth twitched, his teeth aching. He didn’t comment on the sugar bomb and quickly packed the cake.
The two of them separated downstairs. Under the threat of his Beta friend that the cake would taste bad if not eaten in time and might even grow mold, Bai Yan finally agreed to go to the Pei Corporation first.
The black sedan got off the elevated highway and sped toward the famous landmark building.
Worried that his husband was in a meeting, Bai Yan didn’t message him.
The last time had been an impulsive accident. Although they now messaged each other frequently on WeChat, he wouldn’t contact him rashly unless it was his husband’s rest time.
Zhao Chengming glanced at the young man in the rearview mirror, who was gazing out the window, and chuckled. “Young Master Bai Yan, we’re almost there. You see that spire? That’s the Pei Corporation.”
The Pei Corporation’s twin towers were located in Haicheng’s largest financial district. Even though they were surrounded by tall buildings, they still stood out with their unique shape and unparalleled height, towering over all rivals.
In the distance, the spires of the twin towers were already in view. The cool river breeze from the Xiang River blew, making the young man’s thoughts even more chaotic.
After getting out of the car, Bai Yan had to marvel at the Pei Corporation’s power. The 60-story glass building stood before him like a metal behemoth.
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, Bai Yan was still a little nervous when he entered. He clutched the handbag in his hand.
Who knew that before he could even reach the front desk and say the classic “Hello, may I ask how to get to the CEO’s office?”
A well-dressed receptionist had already come up to him with a smiling face, bowed to him, and made an inviting gesture. “Young Master Bai Yan, hello! Please follow me. Your private elevator is this way.”
Eh?
Bai Yan blinked blankly and, with a soft voice, politely said his thanks. “Okay, thank you.”
The receptionist had a proper smile on her face, but she was secretly screaming inside.
This is the CEO’s wife? So fair, so obedient, so beautiful, just like a doll. And his voice is so sweet. Mr. Pei, you’re eating too well!!!
Thank goodness I’m on duty today. I’ve rehearsed receiving the CEO’s wife several times, and today I can finally put it to use!
