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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqaGnyNiJBO
Yes, he was scared.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAMi7pB3ZG1r
Even though the dinner hadn’t started yet, fear had already crawled into him. He tried to calm himself down, but failed.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAvjJVPA0V4o
“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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA8YwMyoJPPI
But a moment later, he changed his mind. He put the purple back and took the blue one, trying it on instead.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAb9BI2LdGLB
Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Xi turned around.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA8wtpTkKpMe
“Looks great, hah. Okay, blue it is.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA75XQrePp5G
That night, before the dinner, Shen Yueting came to pick him up.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIQR1wpPYZJ
What Shen Yueting didn’t expect was that, after putting on the blue suit, Gu Xi looked stunning.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAZvE3JQZeRO
He sat on the bed, swinging his legs. Fair, slender, with ankles that could be held in one hand—irresistibly attractive.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAnDGlzMuxm7
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdzC6CuaNJk
The agarwood scent slipped out of his control, filling the room. It immediately irritated Gu Xi, whose own snowy scent rose in response.
370Please respect copyright.PENANALEQ9p0g50c
“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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA2ahAwSlEYs
This wasn’t the first time he teased him, so Gu Xi only gave him a cold look, completely giving up.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAR2mVADU6GT
“We should be going out now,” he reminded.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAYQzCONHuOn
“Don’t worry, no one would ever doubt me… doubt the heir of the Shen family.” Shen Yueting smiled, still amused at teasing him.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAZBgCLuqn0s
Then, without warning, he pulled Gu Xi in for a deep kiss.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAuP5l6kKWJL
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAPIOcxDHFyc
Damn. Why was Gu Xi so adorable after fainting and waking up again?
370Please respect copyright.PENANABrz3LA9lwV
Shen Yueting almost lost control.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAKDO7ucXyYh
He stood, turned his back, forcing his voice into ice.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAFHOlmjF4e5
“Get up. We’re already a few minutes late.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAfDq1GaJ3p2
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAtVDqtlqc0z
Even though their marriage was only for show, they still had to act the part.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAfxvB8Qgpfs
With no choice, Gu Xi held onto Shen Yueting’s arm, smiling as they greeted others he didn’t recognize.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAW4L1OmT2zT
“I’m tired. Can I sit over there?” He pointed at a solo sofa, asking for Shen Yueting’s permission.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAvYr2GkbYph
Shen Yueting studied his face. He looked pale. Then he nodded.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAK0NEDEzbrV
“Go ahead. Rest a bit. If you still don’t feel well, tell me. I’ll take you back first.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6aSuU1Y60w
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANALHGYACp6Ck
“Hnn… what the… all these scents…” Gu Xi shook his head, trying to block them out, but failed.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAt3G6Nd18F5
Until the familiar agarwood scent wrapped around him. Only then did he feel better, though he fell asleep almost immediately.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAaWRqETWyXQ
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIbPUlSHU5S
Back in the room, he laid Gu Xi gently on the bed, fingertips brushing across his skin.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAiHJ2OoYLwz
“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.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANALCyKBaxbE6
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA5V9Ev1lLEA
Shen Yueting sat by the bed, watching him for a few minutes, then left Gu Xi alone and went into the bathroom.
370Please respect copyright.PENANARfGK1WLFzk
The shower ran. He needed to calm down, to restrain himself from hurting Gu Xi.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA3QdsWWASbr
“Gu Xi… you’re mine. Only I can have you.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4pubXVxUPy
Once again, the S-class Alpha’s pheromones filled the room.
