Purple or blue? He was stuck choosing a suit for the damn charity dinner.

And on top of that, he was going to meet Shen Yueting’s parents. He wasn’t prepared at all. He didn’t know how to act in front of Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen.
155Please respect copyright.PENANArwVF0qIUrp
Yes, he was scared.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAXrTxs1U61w
Even though the dinner hadn’t started yet, fear had already crawled into him. He tried to calm himself down, but failed.
155Please respect copyright.PENANATsKRg013kG
“Shit… why can’t I stop shaking? Easy, boy… calm down, Gu Xi. You cannot be like this. You have to pretend you’re the real Gu Xi… Argh, so hard to pretend. I’m not good at this.” He let out a long sigh, then picked the purple suit.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAcXeFVZbVds
But a moment later, he changed his mind. He put the purple back and took the blue one, trying it on instead.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA1r22v7a3dm
Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Xi turned around.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAANo3VBAPWG
“Looks great, hah. Okay, blue it is.”
155Please respect copyright.PENANAKxmTHNRbY9
That night, before the dinner, Shen Yueting came to pick him up.
155Please respect copyright.PENANApYi1N664Ju
What Shen Yueting didn’t expect was that, after putting on the blue suit, Gu Xi looked stunning.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAK5xigokl1Z
He sat on the bed, swinging his legs. Fair, slender, with ankles that could be held in one hand—irresistibly attractive.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA7jwlupI0dH
Shen Yueting’s gaze darkened. He almost wanted to push Gu Xi down on the bed and do something he really shouldn’t do right now.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAJsm5flHmgx
The agarwood scent slipped out of his control, filling the room. It immediately irritated Gu Xi, whose own snowy scent rose in response.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAwFhQC6tIBr
“Gu Xi, you should’ve been an Omega, not an Alpha. What a waste… you act more like an Omega than an Alpha. Especially with this fair skin… and your waist. I love it—fits perfectly in one hand.” Shen Yueting sounded like a complete pervert.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAVv9x2FHWBk
This wasn’t the first time he teased him, so Gu Xi only gave him a cold look, completely giving up.
155Please respect copyright.PENANABtaDti5YfZ
“We should be going out now,” he reminded.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAu72Fwt5Ejz
“Don’t worry, no one would ever doubt me… doubt the heir of the Shen family.” Shen Yueting smiled, still amused at teasing him.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAr2UPjKbQhb
Then, without warning, he pulled Gu Xi in for a deep kiss.
155Please respect copyright.PENANARMGJam1fp6
Gu Xi couldn’t breathe. He tried to push Shen Yueting away, but his strength was too weak. When Shen Yueting finally stopped and looked into his dazed eyes, his Adam’s apple moved up and down.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAER7fnsMpS5
Damn. Why was Gu Xi so adorable after fainting and waking up again?
155Please respect copyright.PENANApeXZJD80O2
Shen Yueting almost lost control.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA65M4x72hCd
He stood, turned his back, forcing his voice into ice.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAo7pg96yfsw
“Get up. We’re already a few minutes late.”
155Please respect copyright.PENANA1gW28TvHIN
Gu Xi slowly got up, making sure his suit was clean and tidy. He didn’t realize his lips were slightly red and swollen—from Shen Yueting’s hard kiss.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAtNEWcvChga
Even though their marriage was only for show, they still had to act the part.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA1K5lT0RxFi
With no choice, Gu Xi held onto Shen Yueting’s arm, smiling as they greeted others he didn’t recognize.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAYxYj4URHbN
“I’m tired. Can I sit over there?” He pointed at a solo sofa, asking for Shen Yueting’s permission.
155Please respect copyright.PENANANGf8HzPZh9
Shen Yueting studied his face. He looked pale. Then he nodded.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAfV0dxg4qAo
“Go ahead. Rest a bit. If you still don’t feel well, tell me. I’ll take you back first.”
155Please respect copyright.PENANAIVQkQ6orZW
Gu Xi smiled faintly, walked to the sofa, sat down, and closed his eyes. He wasn’t faking—he really felt unwell. Surrounded by pheromones, the mix of scents made him dizzy.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA8RN1JVtq97
“Hnn… what the… all these scents…” Gu Xi shook his head, trying to block them out, but failed.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAjsMU43YJCn
Until the familiar agarwood scent wrapped around him. Only then did he feel better, though he fell asleep almost immediately.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAO3LP4xCPEZ
Shen Yueting returned to his side. Seeing Gu Xi had fallen completely asleep, he picked him up in a princess carry and left the dinner.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAThPrWsln5q
Back in the room, he laid Gu Xi gently on the bed, fingertips brushing across his skin.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA1POFWqpvER
“What should I do with you, Gu Xi? What changed you so much?” Shen Yueting muttered. He kissed his forehead softly. “Sleep well, Gu Xi. Tomorrow morning… let me see if you’re still the same as today.”
155Please respect copyright.PENANAR2LOQW7BCA
But Gu Xi was in a deep sleep. He didn’t hear, didn’t wake. His breathing was steady. For now, nothing could wake him.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAOM5Ncq5cDp
Shen Yueting sat by the bed, watching him for a few minutes, then left Gu Xi alone and went into the bathroom.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAig6ngjMHeS
The shower ran. He needed to calm down, to restrain himself from hurting Gu Xi.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAKrVCHepU5j
“Gu Xi… you’re mine. Only I can have you.”
155Please respect copyright.PENANAsNHiEemAUl
Once again, the S-class Alpha’s pheromones filled the room.
