PE Ch8: Like Mr. Huai

The Alpha, whose desires for control and lust were fully satisfied, appeared even more energetic the next day.

Huai Yu, dressed in a suit, walked down the stairs at a leisurely pace.

Breakfast was already served, and Xiu Ling was already waiting at the table. He hadn’t slept well all night, with two very obvious dark circles under his eyes, making his already thin face look even more haggard.

Of course, he hadn’t dared to break in last night, otherwise, Huai Yu could have snapped his neck on the spot.

“Mr. Huai,” Xiu Ling greeted with his head bowed.

Pan Yinchuan hadn’t come down.

Xiu Ling didn’t ask either.

Was there even a need to ask? With a Beta’s physical condition, it was impossible for him to get out of bed.

Xiu Ling’s heart was burning with jealousy, but he didn’t show it on his face. Stripped of his sharp and gloomy demeanor, he even looked a bit pitiful.

He took a bite of the waffle and asked with his head bowed, “Is Assistant Zhang coming today as well?”

“Hmm?”

“Assistant Zhang was here yesterday too. Is Mr. Huai afraid that I might hurt him?”

There was no change in Huai Yu’s expression as he asked back, “Would you?”

Xiu Ling smiled gently, like a very obedient junior.

He said, “Of course not.” He paused, then added, “I just don’t understand why you would make him your lover.”

Xiu Ling didn’t mention anything like “he’s a spy” because such words wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny. Huai Yu wasn’t easy to fool; a simple identity check would clear things up.

Huai Yu cut his food with a dinner knife, saying slowly, “Anyone I like can be my lover.”

These words made Xiu Ling intensely jealous and simultaneously fueled his wild, improper fantasies.

Xiu Ling said no more.

Huai Yu soon finished his breakfast and left with Secretary Wu.

Pan Yinchuan slept for a long time.

When he opened his eyes, for a moment, he still felt like he was immersed in darkness.

He raised his hand to block the sunlight streaming in from outside and squinted. It took him a while to adjust to the light.

When he finally sat up, he felt like he was going to fall apart; every part of his body ached, even his heart throbbed with pain. That was the aftermath of being repeatedly tormented by the overpowering intimidation of an Alpha’s pheromones.

He slid off the bed with difficulty.

“Smack,” something shattered on the ground.

Pan Yinchuan picked it up slowly to take a look.

Alright, he wasn’t shattered.

But the buffer was.

That thing cost 830,000! Was it too fragile, or was Mr. Huai too fierce?

Pan Yinchuan dressed and put on his shoes, walking a few steps around the room, trying to adapt to the discomfort in his body, sucking in cold air with each step.

As he kept gasping, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He noticed something different.

In the hotel, when he woke up, the curtains were completely closed.

Today, when he woke up, the curtains in Mr. Huai’s room were fully open.

… Did Mr. Huai really believe his lie about being afraid of the dark?

But thinking about last night, knowing he was “afraid of the dark,” Mr. Huai still tied his eyes with a tie and did it.

Pan Yinchuan choked up, not knowing whether this person was kind or cruel.

Unable to figure it out, he gave up, refusing to make things difficult for himself.

Pan Yinchuan called the villa’s internal line, and shortly after, a servant brought food to him, thoughtfully placing soft cushions under his buttocks and behind his waist.

Pan Yinchuan felt embarrassed for half a minute, then sat down to eat properly.

Xiu Ling stood outside the door, staring at Pan Yinchuan for a long time.

… His body is quite good. Xiu Ling pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile.

“Young Master Xiu.” A servant, turning their head, spotted Xiu Ling’s figure and their expression changed.

Xiu Ling pointed at Pan Yinchuan: “I just want to talk to him. Do you need to check me for weapons?”

The servant smoothly changed their expression: “No need, please go ahead.”

As soon as Xiu Ling approached, Pan Yinchuan “wah” and vomited up the soup dumplings he had eaten.

Xiu Ling’s face turned green, feeling humiliated.

“Do you find me disgusting?” Xiu Ling grabbed Pan Yinchuan’s collar.

The Pan Yinchuan who could push Xiu Ling away that day now struggled to break free from his grasp.

A wave of aggressive Alpha pheromones enveloped Pan Yinchuan, churning his insides, making it impossible to keep the food down.

It showed that the broken buffer was worth its 830,000 price!

“Young Master Xiu!” The servant sternly shouted.

Xiu Ling took a deep breath and let go: “Sorry, I lost my temper. I won’t use force, don’t worry.”

The servant then retreated back into the shadows outside the door.

Pan Yinchuan: “…”

How to explain? He was just overwhelmed by the Alpha pheromones.

Although Xiu Ling was indeed somewhat disgusting.

Better not to explain then.

Xiu Ling sat down opposite Pan Yinchuan, glancing at him and noticing his pale face.

It was evident how intense the previous night had been.

Xiu Ling unconsciously searched for the marks left on his skin.

Xiu Ling’s gaze roamed inch by inch.

A finger mark on the chin, red marks on the neck, close to the gently moving Adam’s apple.

Being stared at by an Alpha with a hunting gaze was truly uncomfortable. It was a biological instinct.

Pan Yinchuan exhaled and said, “Can you stay away from me?”

Xiu Ling flared up: “Don’t think too highly of yourself! Do you think you have back-up just because you’re with Mr. Huai?”

He pressed his hand on the table, leaning towards Pan Yinchuan: “I lived under the same roof with Mr. Huai since I was sixteen, and every year he chose my birthday present.”

When an Alpha doesn’t show aggression, a Beta can coexist with them.

But with Xiu Ling’s increasing aggression, Pan Yinchuan couldn’t bear it and leaned back, his top button popping off with the movement, revealing his fair, slender neck.

If Xiu Ling moved closer, he seemed to be able to kiss it.

Xiu Ling paused, a strange feeling emerging.

The vulnerable and helpless Beta retreated step by step.

Unlike Omegas, who are naturally submissive to Alpha pheromones, Betas struggle stubbornly before being forced to bend.

His neck was exposed right under the Alpha’s eyes.

Unfortunately, there was no markable spot on the back of his neck. Sharp teeth biting into it would only bring the pain of pierced flesh, not the pleasure of being marked.

Xiu Ling was momentarily dazed, a thought flashing through his mind.

He seemed to understand Mr. Huai’s preference.

At that moment, a violent idea of biting through his neck, watching him cry and struggle, and finally suffocate, surged in Xiu Ling’s mind.

The next moment, this thought was suppressed by a strong force.

Assistant Zhang strode in, pushing Xiu Ling back into his seat.

Assistant Zhang smiled, but his eyes were cold: “Young Master Xiu, I don’t think this is appropriate.”

Xiu Ling cursed inwardly for the tight protection and said, “I mean no harm, if I wanted to hurt him, I would have already shot through his head.”

Assistant Zhang: “Heh heh.”

Sure, now he didn’t want to shoot through his head. Assistant Zhang thought when he entered, it looked like Xiu Ling was about to kiss him.

Assistant Zhang couldn’t understand why Betas had such an exaggerated charm, making Xiu Ling so fickle.

But anyway, he couldn’t let this cuckoldry happen in Mr. Huai’s house.

Pan Yinchuan slowly sat up straight.

Assistant Zhang was much more perceptive than Xiu Ling, immediately noticing something wrong: “Where is the buffer?”

Pan Yinchuan took a light breath.

Assistant Zhang felt he might have been biased, thinking the sound was a bit enticing.

Then he heard Pan Yinchuan awkwardly say, “It broke.”

“Broke?” Assistant Zhang’s expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal, “That’s… quite normal. After all, Mr. Huai’s pheromones are too strong. I’ll have a new one prepared immediately.”

Xiu Ling’s eyes moved slightly, but he captured some information he wanted from this statement.

No wonder, at the banquet he wasn’t afraid of him, but today he’s avoiding him.

While waiting for the new buffer to arrive…

Xiu Ling stood behind Assistant Zhang, slowly turning his gaze back to Pan Yinchuan. He silently licked his upper teeth.

Suppressing his restless thoughts, Xiu Ling quietly left the room.

After walking out, he received a message from his father after a few steps.

“Can you take a call?”

It was clearly something confidential.

Xiu Ling looked around and found no one paying attention to him. He then walked to the garden, chose a spot that allowed him to observe his surroundings conveniently, and called his father.

“How favored is that Beta surnamed Pan?” Xiu Liang asked directly.

“Father!” Xiu Ling felt as if his sore spot had been hit.

“Alright, this isn’t the time for jealousy. You’re an Alpha. Tell me everything you saw in the villa.” Xiu Liang coldly stopped him.

Xiu Ling had no choice but to roughly explain everything.

After listening, Xiu Liang angrily scolded him: “Are you crazy? How dare you think about killing his lover in Huai Yu’s villa?”

“I… I just wanted to gamble on the sentiment of those years… to see who is more important, me or that Beta. He even personally came to Nanta City to save me…” Xiu Ling said unwillingly.

Xiu Liang mercilessly mocked his son: “So, did you get the result now?”

Xiu Ling’s gaze became unfocused: “I know Huai Yu could never like me.”

“Good that you understand.” Xiu Liang paused and said, “Someone will come to pick you up tonight.”

“Pick me up? I’m not leaving…”

“And that Beta. Under the guise of a kidnapping.” Xiu Liang said slowly.

Xiu Ling was shocked: “Didn’t you agree to meet at Yanshan Lake Hotel next Wednesday? Aren’t you… going to act then?”

“Huai Yu will surely think the same. It would be too late by then. It’s better to grab that Beta now; he will be our hostage.” Xiu Liang said calmly.

Xiu Ling was silent for a long time, then finally, a light appeared in his eyes again, and he responded, “Okay, Father.”

Inside the room, Assistant Zhang had just finished a call, then turned and approached Pan Yinchuan, saying, “The new buffer is ordered and will be delivered soon.”

Pan Yinchuan leaned back uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Assistant Zhang said, “Sorry, I was too close.”

After saying this, a faint trace of sympathy flashed in Assistant Zhang’s eyes.

This was the pain Betas faced after being forced to comply.

If it were an Omega, after being marked by a dominant Alpha, they would carry the Alpha’s pheromones, which would deter other Alphas.

But Betas were different.

No matter how many times Pan Yinchuan was with him, he couldn’t use Mr. Huai’s Alpha pheromones to intimidate others.

He should still be afraid of other Alphas, just as he was now.

“Mr. Pan, please rest well. Let us know if you need anything.” Assistant Zhang paused, “See you tomorrow.”

Pan Yinchuan nodded, not finding anything strange: “See you tomorrow.”

His rough nerves made Assistant Zhang feel a bit more pity. There was no helping it; one couldn’t avoid feeling pity for the weak. But it was just pity.

Assistant Zhang thought as he turned and walked out.

Pan Yinchuan sneezed loudly, thinking his clothes being stripped off last night might have given him a chill.

“Do you have any medicine?” he asked the servant.

“Yes.”

Pan Yinchuan drank the medicine the servant brought, and soon felt tired and sleepy. He didn’t dare go back to his own room, so he stayed in Huai Yu’s bed.

If he wasn’t allowed to sleep, he’d wait for Huai Yu to come back.

When Huai Yu returned, he would be safe.

He wondered when this life would end…

Pan Yinchuan slept deeply, not knowing how much time had passed, when he suddenly felt someone touching him.

He barely opened his eyes and saw Xiu Ling’s face swaying.

Xiu Ling was still talking to someone: “Hurry up, let’s go. Mr. Huai’s steps won’t be hindered for long.”

The next moment, Pan Yinchuan felt himself being lifted.

An Alpha carried him.

Luckily the pheromones weren’t too strong, just making him feel a bit nauseous.

Pan Yinchuan opened his mouth: “You… what are you doing?”

He was a bit stunned.

Not killing him.

But… kidnapping him? To torture him back?

Xiu Ling turned back and gave him a sinister smile, mouthing: “You still ended up in my hands.”

Pan Yinchuan knew this was bad.

Xiu Ling was really a bit perverted.

He tried to muster his courage, thinking of biting his tongue to end it…

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiu Ling seemed to see through his intention, his face turning vicious as he quickly reached out and stuck his hand between Pan Yinchuan’s teeth.

Pan Yinchuan’s resolve wasn’t strong enough, so the bite wasn’t hard.

Xiu Ling’s expression turned strange as he wiggled his fingers in Pan Yinchuan’s mouth.

Pan Yinchuan: “…?”

Xiu Ling had secretly loved Huai Yu since he was young.

Huai Yu was too powerful as an Alpha, with a polite exterior and an absolutely dominant core underneath. Such a person was extremely attractive.

Moreover, having lived with him for a period, Xiu Ling naturally fell even deeper, disregarding all ethics between Alphas.

After setting his heart on Huai Yu, Xiu Ling had no contact with any Omegas. Plus, his health was poor, and ordinary Alphas would have an imbalance in male hormones after reaching adulthood, urgently needing to mark an Omega to resolve it. But he had no such “desire.”

Only now did he vaguely understand why that kind of thing was appealing…

For a moment, Xiu Ling stared intensely at Pan Yinchuan, his eyes filled with disgust, resentment, and a hint of desire.

Pan Yinchuan only felt bewildered.

His body was weak, limbs sore, and his mind foggy, barely able to muster the strength to push Xiu Ling’s hand away.

If he had known Xiu Ling would reach out… he would have bitten harder.

Pan Yinchuan was still regretful.

“Young Master Xiu.” The Alpha carrying Pan Yinchuan suddenly spoke, pulling Xiu Ling out of his chaotic thoughts.

“Get in the car,” the Alpha said.

Xiu Ling withdrew his hand, a nascent idea forming in his mind.

He knew Huai Yu’s desire for control and possessiveness was very strong, and he only liked clean things.

If this Beta were violated by another Alpha while out of his control, could he still sleep next to this face?

The Alpha dignity lost when he was pushed by the Beta at the banquet seemed to be re-established within this thought.

Not bad at all.

Xiu Ling smiled.

…

Pan Yinchuan woke up from his stupor again, this time his head was not as heavy, and his vision much clearer.

“Awake?” Xiu Ling’s voice sounded not far away.

Pan Yinchuan slowly blinked, confirming he wasn’t dead, and there were no injuries on his body.

“What does Young Master Xiu want to do?” he slowly squeezed out the words.

Xiu Ling held a picture frame, walked over, and then showed it to Pan Yinchuan: “This is me and Mr. Huai.”

Pan Yinchuan’s voice became hoarse.

He wanted to say, that’s not you and Mr. Huai, it’s you, your father, and Mr. Huai.

But never mind, you can’t raise your head under someone else’s roof.

Xiu Ling was still very dissatisfied with his reaction. He leaned forward and grabbed Pan Yinchuan’s chin: “Why aren’t you jealous?”

Pan Yinchuan: ?

Why should he be jealous?

Pan Yinchuan struggled to speak: “What does Young Master Xiu want to hear?”

Xiu Ling looked at him coldly.

Pan Yinchuan sighed, this job is so hard. This job is really difficult.

Pan Yinchuan more difficultly and insincerely said: “Actually, after seeing the photo, Young Master Xiu and Mr. Huai are quite a match.”

Xiu Ling suddenly knocked over everything on the bedside table, cursing: “Are you being sarcastic with me?”

Pan Yinchuan: “…”

This job is really difficult.

Xiu Ling suddenly placed the photo heavily on the bedside, his tone gloomy: “Stare at it and look carefully.”

Pan Yinchuan widened his eyes: “… Okay.”

Xiu Ling suddenly flipped him over and reached out to pull down his pants.

Pan Yinchuan finally realized something was wrong and cried out: “What are you doing?”

Xiu Ling then felt satisfied: “Of course, it’s to do you like Mr. Huai does.”

Pan Yinchuan was a bit shocked, but not too shocked.

He was just thinking, does Xiu Ling want to achieve a spiritual and physical union by doing the same person as Mr. Huai?

… High society is beyond his comprehension.

Seeing him remain silent, Xiu Ling felt displeased again.

Why wasn’t he panicking? Why wasn’t he afraid? Why wasn’t he screaming, swearing to protect his purity for Mr. Huai?

Xiu Ling grabbed his collar, pressing his face close to the photo frame, and then whispered deliberately, with a hint of suggestive intention: “Look, how about I do you right in front of this photo?”

Pan Yinchuan’s mind felt like it was being blown through by a Siberian wind.

He tightened his throat and said: “… Can you first tear your father out of the photo?” Wouldn’t that kill the mood?

Xiu Ling: “…………”
