Snatching Food from a Dog's Mouth

No, he shouldn't be thinking about this.

Why, when he thought about the two of them in the future, had he never once considered leaving Bian He behind?

That was a little unlike him.

Wan Ying suppressed his thoughts and casually brushed them off. "Then you must have mistaken him for someone else."

He Xiaowu nodded excitedly. "We know, it had to be a mistake, but could two people really look that alike? Is it possible he's your Omega's older brother?"

"They were practically twins. Their builds and appearances were almost exactly the same."

"I've never seen anyone look that similar. Too bad there probably won't be a chance to start something with him."

"No, no, there still could be. An Enigma can be with an Alpha."

"Pfft... Can you say something normal? I'm not planning to be the one underneath."

"Right, say something normal. I still prefer soft, sweet-smelling Omegas."

The group chatted with great enthusiasm.

Wan Ying's head began to ache from listening.

The headache that had only just eased returned once again.

He hadn't taken his medicine last night.

"Got it. Let's hang up."

Rather than listen to them ramble on, he would rather watch Puppy sleep.

His Bian He was still the best-looking.

He Xiaowu panicked. "Boss, don't hang up yet. Don't you think my analysis makes a lot of sense? Maybe that really is his brother."

"An Enigma, the same rank as you. Aren't you excited?"

"Just thinking about it feels amazing. To run into two Enigmas in a place like this."

"He was seriously cool-looking. If he weren't an Enigma, I think you and he would make a better match, Boss."

The conversation was getting more and more outrageous, so he hung up without hesitation.

Wan Ying stared at his phone screen, his reflected face looking grim.

If that person really existed, no one was more suited to Bian He than he was.

And he had no intention of falling for someone else.

Raising one was enough.

An Enigma? So what if there was one? It had nothing to do with him.

Besides, that had probably been Little Treasure's disguise.

Wan Ying slipped his phone into his pocket and pushed open the bedroom door.

Bian He was sprawled across the bed, sleeping soundly.

He was even curled around the blanket Wan Ying had used...

Wan Ying crouched beside the bed and watched him sleep from up close.

In a few days, he would probably be busy again. Those people would not let him stay idle forever.

The piece of cake he had touched was too large.

The district chief might not necessarily protect him.

There were plenty of people who pretended not to care on the surface while stabbing him in the back.

Perhaps that guy had been right. Traitors had already appeared around him, and some people could not be trusted completely.

Trusting everything too readily could easily cost him his life.

If the person at the restaurant really had been Bian He, then how could his pheromones be explained?

Instinctively, he did not want Bian He to truly be an Enigma. How would they be together then? It had not been easy to raise one that suited his tastes.

"...When did you wake up?" Bian He slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of pale blue eyes came into view.

"Did you run into my teammates on the way back yesterday?"

Bian He looked nervous and immediately threw back the blanket and sat up. "Sorry, I didn't know I would run into them. But I covered your face with my clothes, so they didn't know who I was carrying."

"To hide my identity, I deliberately showed pale blue eyes. They probably mistook me for some relative of yours..."

Bian He looked at him. "Did I do something wrong? Or did they figure it out?"

Wan Ying reached out and pinched Bian He's nose. After sleeping all night, his skin was so smooth it seemed like it would break with a puff.

"You didn't do anything wrong. I was just curious how my little one was so strong that carrying me was effortless."

"They said the person who looked like you was an Enigma, with very powerful pheromones."

"How did you use pheromones to confuse them?"

Bian He pulled up his sleeve, revealing a bracelet.

"This bracelet can release false pheromones. It can save your life at a critical moment, but every use costs quite a bit."

Wan Ying looked at the silver band on Bian He's wrist. He had once thought it was just an accessory. It was actually for saving his life?

His Puppy seemed quite capable.

"I see. That was impressive. You really fooled them."

A casual compliment made Bian He beam with delight.

"Now that you're awake, get up. Are you hungry? I'll take you downstairs for noodles."

At the mention of food, Bian He's eyes lit up, and he quickly got out of bed.

A few minutes later.

Even throwing on clothes casually, he still looked unbearably good.

Wan Ying gave him a few looks and said sourly, "Why did you have to grow up so good-looking? You always charm people until they can't walk straight."

He was so beautiful he seemed to glow, seducing others without even trying.

Bian He wrapped his arms around the man from behind, resting his head on Wan Ying's shoulder as he deliberately acted spoiled.

"If I weren't good-looking, why would you have taken me in?"

"Since I'm this good-looking, has Director Wan been successfully seduced by me?"

Bian He had a deep understanding of his own appearance. He knew exactly where his advantages lay.

Wan Ying poked Bian He's cheek. "What do you think?"

He was practically being ridden over already. If that did not count as being successfully seduced, what did?

Bian He buried his face in the man's neck and greedily breathed in the mint-scented pheromones.

"I think I've succeeded a little. Director Wan has already allowed me into his bed."

Wan Ying raised an eyebrow and smiled, but said nothing.

He picked up the coat hanging on the rack.

"Come on. Aren't you hungry? Hurry downstairs and eat."

The breakfast shop near the residential complex had been open for decades.

It had an excellent reputation for its food, and people from the nearby apartment buildings all came here for breakfast.

It was early morning, and there were quite a few diners.

"What do you want to eat?"

Wan Ying turned to ask.

But the person who had just been beside him was gone, leaving no one at his side.

He looked around and spotted him at a nearby stall.

He had already run over to a steamed meat bun stall, craning his neck and sniffing around.

That adorable appearance made him look even more like a little dog, one who only picked meat buns to eat.

He scanned the code to pay and bought ten buns.

Little Treasure was a pure carnivore and loved fresh meat buns that burst with juice after one bite.

Bian He took a wet wipe from his pocket, cleaned his hands, then held the bag as he ate while walking.

His cleanliness was endearing.

"Little—"

Before Wan Ying could finish warning him, Puppy impatiently took a bite. "Hiss... Brother... My tongue's numb from the heat..."

The bun in his mouth fell to the ground and was eaten by a stray dog waiting at the roadside.

Bian He froze in shock, then pointed at the little gray stray dog. "Mm... Brother, it bullied me too. It stole my meat bun..."

Seeing that furious expression made Wan Ying's scalp prickle.

He quickly pulled him into an embrace. "Be good, don't fight it for the bun. If that's not enough, I'll buy you more."

He was truly afraid that if he stopped him a moment too late, Little Treasure would snatch food from a dog's mouth.

Bian He looked full of resentment, still staring at the little gray dog that had already finished eating.

"But that was the breakfast you bought for me. I hadn't even taken my first bite before it ate it..."

His tone was far too aggrieved.

Wan Ying sighed helplessly and gently rubbed Puppy's back. "All right, all right, don't be angry. It's just a dog. Why are you competing with it?"

The soothing did not have much effect.

Bian He retorted, "But so am I. Director Wan's."
