Chapter 77: Side Couple: Qin Chudong × Wen Yue (Part 2) [Extra]
With his wife by his side, even though the honeymoon’s end meant returning to work at the company, it wasn’t so hard for Qin Chudong. He even walked with a spring in his step, full of joy.
Every day before dawn, he would wake up refreshed, first give his wife a kiss, then get out of bed glowing, and personally make his wife a heart-shaped fried egg for breakfast.
The breakfast would be kept warm in the microwave. His wife, who had worked hard until midnight the night before, would only wake up around noon to eat.
After finishing work in the morning, CEO Qin would discreetly pack his lunch from the cafeteria, return to his office with great satisfaction, and open his phone to video call Wen Yue.
He would call him “honey” in a cloying voice, and would only eat after his wife on the other end had taken a bite.
His assistant, who had once come in with a file and had accidentally witnessed his boss’s other side, had truly thought he had seen a ghost, and had almost dropped his eyeballs into his lunchbox.
On the weekends, Qin Chudong would also reserve his time for his wife.
When they went shopping at the mall, he was his wife’s tireless clothes rack. At the art gallery, he was a connoisseur who commented with great authority.
And at night, he was the huffing and puffing Alpha who worked the hardest.
The Eldest Young Master Qin was very confident. His love life, just like his life, was still incredibly smooth.
If he could, he really wanted to become a pendant and stick to Wen Yue 24/7.
Of course, what he liked most was his wife’s heat. Surrounded by the freesia pheromones, he could fulfill his wishes with a clear conscience.
One day, the two of them were watching a romance movie in the home theater. Qin Chudong’s gaze was serious, his brow furrowed, completely immersed in the film.
When the main characters in the movie were reunited after being separated for more than ten years, the man cried so hard he couldn’t catch his breath, hugging his wife’s shoulder and constantly professing his loyalty.
He said that no matter what happened, he would never be separated from A-Yue. He would love his wife forever.
Wen Yue was speechless.
The acting was terrible, the plot was old-fashioned and melodramatic, and the filming technique was so chaotic it was as if the director had taken drugs.
It was obvious that the budget had run out in the second half, and even the screenwriter was slacking off. What on earth had made Qin Chudong satisfied?
He looked down at the rating chart. “Rating not displayed due to insufficient number of raters (less than 100).”
Wen Yue was speechless.
So where on earth had this guy found it?
The Omega facepalmed and smiled wryly, just glad that the Qin family hadn’t ruined the film industry yet.
As Qin Chudong’s project got on track, Wen Yue’s plan was also nearing its end.
It went very smoothly. That person was old, and there were many things he could no longer do. With the connection to the Qin family, he could easily find a breakthrough.
But the Wen family was, after all, a century-old family with deep roots. It would not be an easy task to topple them.
Moreover, there were other families watching in the dark, just waiting for the great mansion to fall so they could divide it up.
Fortunately, the one thing Wen Yue did not lack was patience.
It wasn’t until Qin Chudong accidentally mentioned Yu Xuanying, the Alpha who had been driven out of the country by his father and had to pretend to be a playboy to survive, that Wen Yue knew his chance had come.
Although their goals were different, the result was a win-win. Both parties had their own thoughts, and after a bit of back and forth, they quickly confirmed their cooperation.
After dealing with the last of the trivial matters, Wen Yue felt uneasy. He found that he was far from as relaxed as he had imagined.
The banquet was a flurry of wine glasses and chopsticks. The fake masks on everyone’s faces made him feel sick.
Using the excuse of not feeling well, he escaped the overly enthusiastic crowd and, holding a wine glass, walked alone into the depths of a secluded path.
Wen Yue couldn’t be sure if Qin Chudong would still accept him if he found out that his partner was not the gentle and kind, family-oriented Omega he had imagined.
Their marriage had been built on his own agenda from the very beginning.
Unable to relieve the bitterness in his heart, the young man drank the strong liquor and walked deeper into the garden.
He hadn’t expected to meet Bai Yan here.
In the hazy moonlight, the young man’s figure was slender, his pale face showing a look of worry, as if he had overlapped with little Yu.
His younger brother had also told him like this, that he couldn’t drink anymore.
Perhaps it was his conscience that had made him want to warn this naive and innocent little lamb.
Wen Yue deliberately opened his collar, revealing the red marks on his neck, and with a threatening tone, tried to scare him away.
“This is the uncontrollable possessiveness of an Alpha.”
Obsession, intoxication, who knows how much love, an instinctive possessiveness.
In the end, he was at a loss, not knowing whether he was telling Bai Yan or warning himself.
“For us Omegas, the most important thing is to guard our own hearts.”
After dealing with his suddenly appearing cousin, Wen Yue left the rose wall, but at the corner, he ran into an unexpected person.
His husband’s eyes were wide with astonishment, his face pale, his gaze fixed on the rose wall behind the corner. Who knew how much of the conversation he had just heard?
Not expecting Qin Chudong’s appearance, Wen Yue’s mind went blank, but then he suddenly felt a sense of relief.
So be it, the Omega thought, a little self-deprecatingly. It’s best if Qin Chudong sees him for who he is now.
Knowing that he is two-faced, that he is vengeful.
Knowing that he is calculating, unscrupulous, and even willing to use their marriage.
Wen Yue forcefully ignored the dull, heart-gouging pain. For the first time, when the man looked over, he didn’t offer a smile and returned his gaze with a blank expression.
But the Alpha said nothing and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.
The man forced a smile, held out his hand to him, and said calmly, “Honey, the anniversary cake is ready. Do you want to go see it with me?”
Wen Yue’s heart trembled slightly. He nonchalantly returned the handshake.
He offered his usual gentle expression and replied softly, “Okay.”
That night, the two of them, with a tacit understanding, slept with their backs to each other for the first time since they were married.
Qin Chudong’s brow was furrowed, and he anxiously chewed on his fingers.
Even the news of taking over the company without any preparation had not been as shocking as the secret his wife had revealed.
He didn’t care that his wife had hidden these things from him.
He was just annoyed and regretful that even though he and A-Yue shared a bed, he hadn’t discovered these things sooner.
No wonder A-Yue had casually asked him before if he was in a hurry to have children.
He had thought it was a bit of fun between a couple and had even happily said that three or five children would be fine.
But if his wife clearly didn’t like them, why didn’t he tell him? If his wife had just told him, he would have definitely changed.
This made Qin Chudong even sadder. Because his A-Yue, perhaps, did not trust him as much as he had shown.
It was all his fault. He hadn’t made A-Yue feel enough love.
What on earth should he do?
The man’s heart was filled with bitterness, his mood sinking to the bottom.
But he still had to make breakfast for his wife tomorrow, so he could only close his eyes and force himself to sleep.
He didn’t notice that the person beside him also hadn’t closed his eyes all night.
The two of them tacitly never mentioned the banquet again. During the day, the Omega was still his beautiful and gentle wife.
But Qin Chudong knew that something had changed.
Unable to accept the possible consequences, he dared not be the first to break the surface calm.
Qin Chudong had thought more than once about having his assistant investigate Wen Yue’s past.
But he knew that his partner was also an independent individual. To investigate without permission would only disappoint him more.
He had patience and was willing to wait for the day his lover would tell him himself.
Later, Qin Chudong took over the company. No matter how busy he was, he would help his wife set up her art gallery, accompany her for walks, and do everything he could to make her happy.
When his wife wanted to promote the cooperation between the Wen family and the Qin family, he also fully supported it.
The two of them were, in the eyes of outsiders, the most perfect and harmonious couple in a business marriage.
They still maintained their frequency of five nights a week, except during special periods.
But each time, Qin Chudong was very careful, deliberately avoiding leaving any obvious marks on the Omega’s exposed skin.
He learned from the news that the Wen family had changed hands, that his father-in-law had had a mental breakdown and had been sent to a nursing home, and that Wen Yue, with an overwhelming advantage, had smoothly taken over the company.
Qin Chudong returned home in disbelief, the pitiful accusation he had prepared not yet spoken.
The beautiful Omega young man in a formal suit frowned slightly and said in a warm voice, “I’m sorry. It was wrong of me to use your marriage.”
“If you mind, we can get a divorce tomorrow. I can compensate you for the assets, and the cooperation between the Wen family and the Qin family…”
“No—I don’t want a divorce! What did I do wrong, honey? Tell me, I’ll definitely change!”
Qin Chudong looked as if the sky were falling. His eyes were red as he quickly interrupted his wife.
He had only come to ask why his wife had cooperated with Yu Xuanying. How had it come to a divorce?!
His wife was his sky, his wife was his earth. Whatever his wife did was right.
He had seen a lot of the filth behind the great families. Whatever his wife did, she must have her reasons.
But he could clearly do better than others. Why wouldn’t his wife give him a chance?
The man’s eyes quickly filled with moisture. He looked down pitifully, which made Wen Yue stare blankly for a few seconds.
The Alpha didn’t blame him at all for seizing power and still trusted him unconditionally.
These past few years, he had not been unaware of Qin Chudong’s love for him.
But he was still uneasy and had deliberately arranged this scene today.
Wen Yue wanted Qin Chudong to tell him that no matter what he did, he would love him and would never be able to leave him.
Just like him.
The sadness in his lover’s eyes was so obvious that the Omega’s nose stung, and he almost softened.
But, why hadn’t he thought of it yet…
Qin Chudong cried, “What did I do wrong, honey? Tell me, I’ll definitely change.”
A corner of his mouth twitched, and a mischievous glint flashed in Wen Yue’s eyes.
He crossed his arms, raised a slender eyebrow, and said with deliberate malice, “Have I ever told you that you’re terrible in bed?”
Hmph, what if it’s long? He always rushes in headfirst, without any technique. Before he’s had enough, he’s already moved on to another place.
The Alpha was struck by lightning, and the sky completely fell.
Terrible, terrible, terrible…
His wife’s words were like a bolt from the blue, reverberating in his mind with bold, flashing special effects, in 360 degrees.
Wen Yue raised his chin and smiled meaningfully. “You should think about it.”
The gloom in his heart was swept away. The Omega used the excuse of having company business and not coming back to stay recently and left with light steps.
Only Qin Chudong was left with a bitter face, falling dazedly onto the carpet, deeply reflecting on his mistake.
