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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAIaPKY9W3ep
Yes, he was scared.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAPnCHVquF6c
Even though the dinner hadn’t started yet, fear had already crawled into him. He tried to calm himself down, but failed.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAgxnxs8ctkI
“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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAxusKj8OfwP
But a moment later, he changed his mind. He put the purple back and took the blue one, trying it on instead.
191Please respect copyright.PENANANY3jXhpRik
Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Xi turned around.
191Please respect copyright.PENANASk65WIIWKn
“Looks great, hah. Okay, blue it is.”
191Please respect copyright.PENANA4rbIiJsZDn
That night, before the dinner, Shen Yueting came to pick him up.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAzKR8tyqZOM
What Shen Yueting didn’t expect was that, after putting on the blue suit, Gu Xi looked stunning.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAiN88OihjF5
He sat on the bed, swinging his legs. Fair, slender, with ankles that could be held in one hand—irresistibly attractive.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAw7EAphzgTp
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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAHtePMLqM4Y
The agarwood scent slipped out of his control, filling the room. It immediately irritated Gu Xi, whose own snowy scent rose in response.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAkt8gCCxCqy
“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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAtr1devids2
This wasn’t the first time he teased him, so Gu Xi only gave him a cold look, completely giving up.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAO3KC2dkQ74
“We should be going out now,” he reminded.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAOmnqayF1Nx
“Don’t worry, no one would ever doubt me… doubt the heir of the Shen family.” Shen Yueting smiled, still amused at teasing him.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAJoXCzqvwrL
Then, without warning, he pulled Gu Xi in for a deep kiss.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAmo3movavy1
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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAreWV0XCjyu
Damn. Why was Gu Xi so adorable after fainting and waking up again?
191Please respect copyright.PENANAm8Lu3AkQzI
Shen Yueting almost lost control.
191Please respect copyright.PENANASd0VDV9n1b
He stood, turned his back, forcing his voice into ice.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAZCuMi2uPbN
“Get up. We’re already a few minutes late.”
191Please respect copyright.PENANA4H0dl1xMqR
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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANA0lvXUPEPNv
Even though their marriage was only for show, they still had to act the part.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAsMGaLudUt0
With no choice, Gu Xi held onto Shen Yueting’s arm, smiling as they greeted others he didn’t recognize.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAK04CB77yRK
“I’m tired. Can I sit over there?” He pointed at a solo sofa, asking for Shen Yueting’s permission.
191Please respect copyright.PENANADKgTpsSEvz
Shen Yueting studied his face. He looked pale. Then he nodded.
191Please respect copyright.PENANA4iRnQeK5vQ
“Go ahead. Rest a bit. If you still don’t feel well, tell me. I’ll take you back first.”
191Please respect copyright.PENANACzMPLfzbaN
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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZgRj1bfAu
“Hnn… what the… all these scents…” Gu Xi shook his head, trying to block them out, but failed.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAEdlEMcrHTa
Until the familiar agarwood scent wrapped around him. Only then did he feel better, though he fell asleep almost immediately.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAcP3Gzz9Af8
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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAfi0zG9qJH2
Back in the room, he laid Gu Xi gently on the bed, fingertips brushing across his skin.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAtYLGMpE0c6
“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.”
191Please respect copyright.PENANAxvUI1xez7c
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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAQEf7WzBnBr
Shen Yueting sat by the bed, watching him for a few minutes, then left Gu Xi alone and went into the bathroom.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAaQUhvTBtvq
The shower ran. He needed to calm down, to restrain himself from hurting Gu Xi.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAWnOzp8BUFT
“Gu Xi… you’re mine. Only I can have you.”
191Please respect copyright.PENANAPQYkxoNPOa
Once again, the S-class Alpha’s pheromones filled the room.
