The Sulking One

It was just a casual joke. Who knew he would take it seriously?

Bian He's eyes brimmed with tears, which gradually filled his gaze.

The tears were crystal-clear, turning into pearls as they fell by his lips.

Wan Ying instinctively licked one up, the salty taste spreading across his mouth.

His frown deepened.

"Why are you crying? With you around, how could I possibly have the mind for anyone else? Do you really think I'm some butcher shop that takes in anything?"

"I only want a clean, obedient, pretty, clingy Bian He to be my... one who would wag his tail only for me..."

Censored.

His ears turned red.

How could he be so easily teased?

"Alright, stop crying. I'll take you to the hospital for an injection. Your body will recover faster."

As he spoke, he backed away, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, his clothes were tugged, and the momentum pulled him forward.

He nearly bumped his nose.

Wan Ying's eyes darkened in displeasure, then softened with indulgence.

"You haven't let me take a bite yet. How can I leave?"

Bian He grabbed the tie printed with the word "Law," tilted his head closer to the man's Adam's apple, and gave it a kiss.

The tip of his tongue swept over his upper lip. He opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and bit down, releasing flower-scented pheromones.

Only a little—hardly enough to be noticed.

He stopped while he was ahead.

The blue in his pupils vanished, and even his scent changed with it.

Bian He blinked, once again wearing that innocent, obedient, well-behaved expression.

"I'm already much better. Can I not go to the hospital?"

What if they needed to draw blood at the hospital?

He spread his arms and wrapped his legs around the man's waist.

Having received pheromones, his body was no longer as hot.

"Stop fooling around."

Wan Ying caught him steadily, shielding his head as he stepped out of the car.

Little Treasure loved to make trouble without considering the consequences. If Wan Ying had not been standing steadily, they would have fallen together.

Bian He clung to him, unwilling to let go. "I'm not fooling around. You already gave me pheromones, and I don't want to go to the hospital. Do you want someone else touching me?"

The moment he finished speaking, there was no further movement. The atmosphere froze.

"..." Wan Ying said nothing and carried him back inside.

From an angle Wan Ying could not see.

Bian He curled his lips into a smile and hugged him tighter.

His wife truly was an Enigma. He was incredibly strong and did not struggle in the slightest while carrying him.

Back in the bedroom.

Wan Ying took out the first-aid kit and rummaged through it.

It was full of medicine suited for S-rank Alphas and higher.

It did not seem suitable for an Omega.

Wan Ying's patience ran out. He picked up his phone. "I'll call the butler and have him buy some medicine. Are you allergic to any—"

Before he could finish, Little Treasure seemed to casually grab a handful of pills and stuff them into his mouth.

Wan Ying's heart jumped. He held out his hand beneath Bian He's mouth. "Wait, that's my medicine. You'll feel unwell if you take it. Spit it out."

His sharp teeth crushed the pills, and he swallowed them directly.

After swallowing, his face scrunched up. "This medicine is so bitter."

Wan Ying was helpless.

What kind of muddleheaded Little Treasure had he picked up?

He went to the kitchen, poured a glass of juice, and held it to Bian He's lips. "Of course it's bitter. You didn't even check what medicine it was before stuffing it into your mouth. Do you really think you're a puppy, eating whatever you catch?"

Bian He held the cup in both hands and gulped down every drop.

He stuck out his tongue, stained red by strawberry juice. "Mm... it's still so bitter..."

Bian He blinked his adorable puppy eyes and stuck out his tongue, looking even more like one.

He was devastatingly pretty.

Wan Ying took the empty cup, his fingers tightening around it.

Clatter!

The cup fell to the floor.

Bian He froze in shock for two seconds. Looking at the person who suddenly leaned close, he even forgot to breathe.

The next second, he pounced on him.

"I'm hungry..."

Urgent and far from gentle.

Again and again.

Wan Ying drew in a sharp breath and stroked his back, soothing him as though petting fur.

Bian He was treating him as food.

Only after Bian He finally calmed down.

Did Wan Ying prop himself up and sit.

Before he could speak,

"I'm sorry. I was wrong."

Wan Ying sat by the bed, studying him curiously. "Why are you apologizing?"

Bian He lowered his head against the man's thigh and rubbed against him coquettishly. "It's all because I was too greedy."

He looked up, spreading open his palm. "Punish me harshly, or I'll only get worse."

Before Wan Ying could get angry, he had already admitted his mistake.

He was rather quick to apologize.

Wan Ying looked at his palm. He was tall, so why were his fingers so long too? Every one of them was so beautiful that Wan Ying wanted to touch them.

If he had another identity, and there was a soft Omega by his side, then during that sort of thing, the two of them would probably reach new heights.

Wait, what was he thinking?

Wan Ying raised his hand and gave him a light smack. "Since it's your first offense, I'll let it go. Don't do it again."

He glanced at the clock on the cabinet.

It was almost ten o'clock.

Normally, he would have already finished his morning meeting and begun handling cases.

"Alright, you're not feeling well. Stay home and behave. I'm going to work. If you're hungry, there's food in the kitchen. I'll come back this afternoon."

Wan Ying stood and straightened his tie in the mirror. It had become a little wrinkled from being tugged earlier.

Bian He's eyelids drooped, and his little face fell. "You're not taking me out with you? Why? Do you think I'll embarrass you? Or did I cause you trouble?"

"But if you're not home, I'll miss you, mm..."

Bian He removed the hand covering his eyes, frowning as he silently accused him.

Wan Ying coughed lightly, pretending to be calm. "No acting cute, Bian He. Don't forget, you're only someone I keep by my side. Whatever I tell you to do, you have to do. Don't think about climbing all over me."

He did not know who he was reminding with those words.

He just felt that if he kept indulging him, next time Bian He would probably climb onto his head and piss on him.

Excessive indulgence was not a good thing. It would only bring trouble upon himself.

Bian He lowered his head in disappointment, a thoughtful glint flashing through his eyes.

Wan Ying's pheromone scent had changed.

It was as though he was flustered into anger.

Had he realized Bian He was acting spoiled because of his favor?

His wife was too smart. Chasing him was proving a little difficult.

But it did not matter. He had plenty of patience.

"Alright, then I'll wait obediently at home. You're not allowed to get too close to other Omegas. If I smell another Omega's scent on you, I'll get jealous."

Bian He shifted to the side and pulled the man's coat over himself.

He deliberately turned his back and ignored him.

Since Wan Ying was not planning to take him out to play, then he would not see him off either.

Hmph!

Wan Ying stared at Bian He's puffed-up back and sighed helplessly.

For some reason, he could tell exactly what Bian He was thinking.

He was quite good at sulking.

They had already caused quite a commotion yesterday. If he brought Bian He along again, those people might spread all sorts of rumors.

He took his documents and left.

Even after he got into the car, Bian He never appeared.

"Let's go."

The driver started the car at the command.

The car had just begun to move.

Wan Ying looked out the window and discovered someone standing by the upstairs window...

Bian He was waving goodbye to him.

Even a sulking Little Treasure would see his master off.
