A Bite on the Hand

Bian He looked up at the man. "Marriage?"

So he had thought about getting married, but the person he wanted to marry was not him.

Why? Just because he was not an Omega?

Wan Ying met his gaze and inexplicably sensed a trace of coldness in those black pupils.

Was he angry?

That was just right.

If he did not possess even the slightest desire to claim him, how could there be any loyalty?

Without thinking, he casually lied, "Sooner or later, I'll get married. When that happens, you might have one more person..."

Bian He lowered his eyes as pheromones spilled out.

The pheromones covering his eyes dispersed, revealing the true color of his pupils.

The veins on the hands braced against the ground bulged as he desperately suppressed his anger.

"I will only ever acknowledge Mr. Wan in this life. If you no longer want me, you can throw me away wherever you like. If you want me to address your partner as... that's fine too. Then you'll see nothing but a cold corpse."

His voice was quiet, yet every word landed with force.

Wan Ying gripped little Bian He's chin, forcing him to tip his head back as he threatened coldly, "Without my permission, even if you die, I'll bring you back."

For some reason, the moment he heard him speak of death, his heart skipped in panic.

He had only just obtained him. How could he let him die?

He should not joke like that again. It felt like he might take it seriously.

Wan Ying glanced at the veins on the back of his hand. Even the blood vessels were standing out. Why was he so temperamental?

So he had provoked a hot-tempered little...

If his temper had not been so fierce, he probably would have been tortured to death by Alphas long before ending up at Wan Ying's side.

A beautiful treasure naturally deserved more patience.

The instant that thought settled, pain pricked his fingertip.

"Hey... why are you biting people now? Do you want me to pull out your teeth?"

Wan Ying suddenly came back to himself and looked at the fingertip caught between his teeth.

A thought flashed through his mind.

Bian He held on without letting go.

"Don't give me to someone else, even someone you love... I like you. I can be anything in front of you. I only beg you not to deliberately humiliate me just to please the one you love. That would hurt worse than killing me..."

"Pets are very smart. They can sense your feelings. If one day you grow tired of me, I'll find a clean place to die on my own and won't cause you even a bit of trouble."

Wan Ying stared intently into those eyes. They were filled entirely with his reflection.

Such intense affection was impossible to hide.

It seemed his claim of liking him was true.

His expression turned dazed as he curled the bitten fingertip. "Don't say things like that. Learn not to tempt fate."

How could something he had chosen be allowed to die so easily?

"Get up and go play somewhere else. I need to work. Don't make a sound and disturb me."

Wan Ying rolled his chair back and sat at his desk.

Bian He reacted half a beat too slowly, looking rather blank.

He was far too beautiful to look away from.

Wan Ying concealed his thoughts, gathered several documents, and went upstairs for a meeting.

The moment he pushed open the meeting room door,

the people who usually procrastinated over everything had all arrived early today.

"Did the sun rise in the west today? Since when have you lot ever been this proactive?"

Wan Ying casually teased them as he stood at the podium.

Several people stared at him, grinning from ear to ear with strange looks in their eyes.

"Whoa, different, different. You really are different."

"Director, you're in a pretty good mood today. Can you tell us why?"

"Director, you look pretty handsome today. Who are you trying to seduce? Since when did you care so much about your appearance? Hehehe..."

Wan Ying glanced at his work clothes.

He retorted coldly, "If you're blind, take your eyes out."

He always wore work clothes. What was different?

He Xiaowu, as nosy as ever, walked up, propped his chin on one hand, and pretended to ponder as he looked Wan Ying up and down.

"No, no, no. The difference is huge. Director, you may be wearing work clothes, but the details don't lie. You're wearing cufflinks, even a brooch. The shirt underneath is new. I've never seen you wear that tie before. Did you just buy it? And why does it look like it matches the outfit of the person beside you?"

"Congratulations to Director Wan on getting into a relationship. Director, can you tell us where you found such a beautiful Omega? He's ridiculously good-looking."

Once the topic started, everyone crowded over.

"I just went to get some water and saw that tall Omega. One glance was enough to stun me. He's prettier than an immortal."

"Bro, you two came to work together, and you even brought him into your office. Did you sleep together last night? Today's meeting was pushed back a few minutes too. What you were doing, we don't need to spell it out, right..."

"Bro, you don't need to explain. We all get it. Your lips are a little darker than usual today. Did you get up to something naughty last night?"

"You even specifically matched it with a light gray tie. Tsk, tsk, tsk~ Director, you're really different today."

Several Alphas gathered together, gossiping like mad.

Wan Ying's expression darkened slightly as he tugged at his tie. "What business is it of yours what tie I wear? Get back to your seats. We're about to begin..."

Before he could finish,

He Xiaowu suddenly leaned close to him.

Wan Ying flared up for a moment and kicked him. "Looking to die?"

Jokes were fine, but if someone got too close to him, he could not stop himself from wanting to lose his temper.

He Xiaowu took the kick and grimaced in pain.

"Bro, how could you be so ruthless? You nearly kicked my leg off. The director is still the same violent director, except now there's one person who makes him break his rules."

He dragged a chair from the farthest spot and sat down, rubbing his leg while continuing to gossip.

"Look! Director's index finger seems to have been bitten. Who could have bitten him? It couldn't have been a dog, so it had to be the Omega he brought in. Hehe, our director sure plays wild."

He Xiaowu finished quickly, successfully drawing the firepower before hiding behind the crowd.

For a moment, dozens of eyes turned toward Wan Ying in unison.

They were all fucking sick.

Wan Ying raised his hand and took a look.

There was indeed an extra bite mark on his index finger. It did not hurt, but teeth marks had been left behind.

Too bad they had all guessed wrong. It really had been a dog bite.

He had raised a very fierce treasure.

Even saying the wrong thing would earn him a little snarl.

A meek, soft little dog could bare its fangs.

That was how it should be.

"You don't need to come work here tomorrow. Just sit at the village entrance and gossip. You'll definitely get firsthand information."

Wan Ying picked up a piece of chalk and drew on the blackboard.

"We received a mission yesterday. We're going to compete with people from the top Tribe over a batch of supplies and rescue the hostages safely. As for the remaining supplies, whoever gets them keeps them."

With a few strokes, the layout appeared perfectly on the blackboard.

"They place great importance on these supplies, so they'll send that group out."

The topic shifted to serious business.

Everyone immediately stopped gossiping and cheered. "If they're going, then we have to go too. As long as we can make them miserable, I'm joining."

"I'm going too, I'm going too. Last time, that guy from their team pinned me to the ground and beat me up. It pissed me off so badly. This time, I'm getting even."

"Director, you should go too. Maybe their executive officer will be there. You can beat him up again."
