Could we do it every day?

[Hubby, do you know how good you are at it?]

[You have a whole different appeal in a suit, too.]

[Actually, I'm up for suit play, bondage play, all of it!]

Xie Yanci suddenly lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.

The praise felt good.

He glanced at the contract Xu Shi had tossed aside, narrowed his eyes slightly, and added a clause of his own accord:

"I'm an Alpha. I have a rut once a month, and I won't seek out other Omegas or Betas."

"So-"

Xie Yanci paused for a second.

"As my wife, I hope you can help me get through it smoothly."

Having said that, Xie Yanci raised his eyes, unwilling to miss a single expression on Xu Shi's face.

Betas had no such needs. He didn't know whether Xu Shi would agree.

After all, he had a bad personality. He had long since prepared himself to be loathed by his wife.

"If you're unwilling..."

[Holy shit!]

[There's a perk like that, too?]

[Can we only do it during your monthly rut? Can't we do it every day?]

[Hubby, you should've said so sooner!]

Xie Yanci lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips unconsciously lifting by a single pixel.

He knew he had a cold personality. As an heir, he had grown up immersed in the belief that family and interests always came before love.

He didn't know how to love someone and couldn't give his wife a marriage in the conventional sense. All he could give was money.

He had thought Xu Shi loathed him, too, but now it seemed that wasn't the case?

"Well..."

Xu Shi cleared his throat and pretended to be perfectly serious. "Fine, I suppose I can reluctantly agree."

[Hell yes!]

[This is my husband! This is my husband!]

Xie Yanci didn't expose his "reluctance." A hint of amusement showed in his inscrutable eyes; he seemed to be in a good mood.

He continued, "As compensation, after the divorce, I'll give you an additional five billion, plus five percent of the company's shares."

[*!!!*]

[I'm rich?]

[Holy shit! You should've told me sooner that I'd get this much from the divorce!]

[Can we get divorced tomorrow? I still want to experience what a mere ten cocks feel like!]

Xie Yanci's expression turned cold.

He knew Xu Shi would have nothing to do with him after the divorce. However many men Xu Shi found afterward would be none of his business. Rationally speaking, he shouldn't be angry.

It was just-

With a clack, the pale gold wire-frame glasses were tossed onto the table.

Xu Shi jumped.

What the hell?

He had no idea what he had done to anger this big-shot CEO and hurriedly put on an apologetic smile. "Haha, there's no need for extra compensation. The original amount is already plenty."

[How many male models would I have to hire to spend five billion?]

[Dying in an Alpha's bed is my destiny, and I embrace it!]

[Please, let me enjoy myself!]

Xie Yanci didn't know what was wrong with his wife.

Could Betas be controlled by lust, too?

He shouldn't discriminate based on sex, nor did he have any right to interfere in Xu Shi's personal life after the divorce.

Emotions churned in his dark eyes as a cold sentence escaped his thin lips. "One final condition. During our marriage, I expect us both to remain faithful."

This was his only bottom line.

He didn't love Xu Shi, and whoever Xu Shi fell for was none of his business.

"Of course," Xu Shi said with a grin.

[Just a few more months until freedom!]

[Bye-bye, hubby~]

[Your skills and physique may be flawless, but I'm destined not to belong to you.]

[I hope you have a good life with the protagonist shou after the divorce.]

Who?

Xie Yanci frowned, pondering what that last sentence meant.

A phone suddenly rang.

Xu Shi glanced at the contact name on his phone and didn't recognize it at all.

He put it on speaker.

"Xu Shi, you have a shoot today. Why are you late?"

"The director's yelling!"

Xu Shi remembered.

This person was his assistant, Xiao Chi.

His actual job was acting-or, to be precise, being an obscure, bottom-tier actor.

"I quit." Xu Shi wasn't feeling the pressure at all.

He was already the wife of the heir to the Xie Family, Hong Kong City's wealthiest elite family. He had more money than he could ever spend. How out of his mind would he have to be to go out and work?

It would simply lower his status.

Xu Shi had already fully immersed himself in the luxurious life of the Celestial Dragons.

Copying Xie Yanci's table manners, he lifted a glass of warm milk with his long fingers and took an unhurried sip.

Elegant.

"That's mine." Xie Yanci's indifferent voice came from beside him.

"Cough, cough..."

[Fuck! What are you putting on airs for?]

[We've done it two days in a row, and you're getting petty over one sip of your milk?]

[I...]

Something didn't seem right.

Xu Shi suddenly remembered that although they had done it, Xie Yanci had never kissed him.

Even when he had lost all reason yesterday, their lips hadn't touched once.

Was Xie Yanci a germaphobe?

Xu Shi obediently set the glass back down. He respected everyone's personality. "Sorry, I picked up the wrong one..."

Xie Yanci didn't respond, his gaze lingering on the side of the glass for a moment.

"Xu Shi, you'll have to pay a lot of money if you breach the contract," Xiao Chi ventured weakly.

"Besides, if we leave the industry, we won't get to see handsome guys anymore..."

[Huh?]

Deeply shocked, Xu Shi quietly raised his eyes to size up his legitimate husband sitting beside him.

Xie Yanci remained indifferent. His aloof, ascetic face betrayed no emotion, but there was a hint of danger in his slightly narrowed eyes.

Xu Shi didn't notice.

"No thanks. It's just some handsome guy. I'm not going to wor-"

Before he could finish, his ass was suddenly jolted by electricity.

Fuck!

The chair was raping him!

Xu Shi was just about to explode when a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"System: Warning! Warning! Severely OOC!"

"System: Host, please respect the original plot. Unauthorized changes are not permitted."

Xu Shi: "?"

This shitty novel even had a system?

The protagonist gong had already slept with him, a cannon-fodder character. What original plot was there left to speak of?!

Xu Shi cursed up a storm inwardly.

"Xu Shi: What if I refuse?"

"System: I'll zap your ass!"

Xu Shi: "..."

Someone even more perverted than him had appeared.

His ass had been ravaged by Xie Yanci for two days. It couldn't withstand any more torment.

Xu Shi took a deep breath and went to work through his tears. "Xiao Chi, ask the director for a little time off for me. I'll be right there."

He was already a domineering CEO's wife, yet he still couldn't escape the fate of a corporate slave...

Beside him, Xie Yanci turned his eyes toward him and gave him a meaningful look.

Which shameless Alpha on the production had his wife so preoccupied?

"Which production? Who's the male lead?" Xie Yanci suddenly asked.

Xiao Chi knew Xu Shi was secretly married, but he didn't know who his boss's husband was.

He had only heard Xu Shi mention that he was some big shot.

He answered respectfully, "The TV drama Shallow Summer. The male lead is Xia Shian."

[Holy shit! Xia Shian?]

[True love has arrived! I hereby declare that this is my real husband!]

[Seeing Xia Shian is the whole reason I'm alive in this world!]
