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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANASTiK4OTXsj
Yes, he was scared.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAE3wcsgX6ii
Even though the dinner hadn’t started yet, fear had already crawled into him. He tried to calm himself down, but failed.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAB1JBzQ12wL
“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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAk6DuDkIfMX
But a moment later, he changed his mind. He put the purple back and took the blue one, trying it on instead.
265Please respect copyright.PENANApiy3PuKiTV
Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Xi turned around.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJHwIr3UYkl
“Looks great, hah. Okay, blue it is.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAdyIwkYrKZp
That night, before the dinner, Shen Yueting came to pick him up.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA73x4jmc8BS
What Shen Yueting didn’t expect was that, after putting on the blue suit, Gu Xi looked stunning.
265Please respect copyright.PENANATBKpz5Nqa4
He sat on the bed, swinging his legs. Fair, slender, with ankles that could be held in one hand—irresistibly attractive.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQW1lTuNoXW
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAyjpK4H5BfX
The agarwood scent slipped out of his control, filling the room. It immediately irritated Gu Xi, whose own snowy scent rose in response.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQbqAvqs5Ib
“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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANABy7OKMSy8f
This wasn’t the first time he teased him, so Gu Xi only gave him a cold look, completely giving up.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAnKuwidSajL
“We should be going out now,” he reminded.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAe4X5Oe2TSJ
“Don’t worry, no one would ever doubt me… doubt the heir of the Shen family.” Shen Yueting smiled, still amused at teasing him.
265Please respect copyright.PENANArNFkJLxmXW
Then, without warning, he pulled Gu Xi in for a deep kiss.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA1VLdoSFrSo
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANACfvjY4Y6ye
Damn. Why was Gu Xi so adorable after fainting and waking up again?
265Please respect copyright.PENANAbxtEUTYTH8
Shen Yueting almost lost control.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAgEaGHHYD9T
He stood, turned his back, forcing his voice into ice.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAUCjfQ7NcNT
“Get up. We’re already a few minutes late.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAuAr045IvJp
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA5QPyASA3iT
Even though their marriage was only for show, they still had to act the part.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAcccJRuTftx
With no choice, Gu Xi held onto Shen Yueting’s arm, smiling as they greeted others he didn’t recognize.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAA68KpurgtM
“I’m tired. Can I sit over there?” He pointed at a solo sofa, asking for Shen Yueting’s permission.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAw2g518RwHe
Shen Yueting studied his face. He looked pale. Then he nodded.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAGWlIBtnKmJ
“Go ahead. Rest a bit. If you still don’t feel well, tell me. I’ll take you back first.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA4WQlAcYMTi
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA0PowUW2mvD
“Hnn… what the… all these scents…” Gu Xi shook his head, trying to block them out, but failed.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAszMMtmcaHD
Until the familiar agarwood scent wrapped around him. Only then did he feel better, though he fell asleep almost immediately.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA8jL3eC4Nho
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAicVSS46IEx
Back in the room, he laid Gu Xi gently on the bed, fingertips brushing across his skin.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAd6NS42pRje
“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.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYMHWRUHubG
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAVajkuYgaAD
Shen Yueting sat by the bed, watching him for a few minutes, then left Gu Xi alone and went into the bathroom.
265Please respect copyright.PENANANI4Q8nKkz0
The shower ran. He needed to calm down, to restrain himself from hurting Gu Xi.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAvGAUt5G6qt
“Gu Xi… you’re mine. Only I can have you.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAMCWfP45OwN
Once again, the S-class Alpha’s pheromones filled the room.
