Rebirth to become the President’s Omega Wife - Chap 34
Cliff ahead, don’t jump ah _(;3/
When Su Ling walked into the restaurant, a waiter immediately greeted him, “Welcome, do you have a reservation?”
Su Ling acknowledged with an En and said, “Room 108, has anyone yet?”
The waiter shook his head, “No.”
Su Ling was a little surprised. The restaurant was much closer to the villa area than the fragrance bar, so he thought he would be late. But after a moment of thought, his male god being late sounded logical as he may have some business to deal with. After all, it was already past 6.30 pm when he called, which his male god would have already eaten on normal days. With his character, if he has already eaten, he will not lie about it, so he is most likely delayed by something on hand.
Waiter: “Will you wait in the lobby or go to the private room first?”
At that question, Su Ling glanced at the sofa on the left side of the lobby. Several people were sitting there, as well as a couple who were kissing. Hence, he immediately made the decision, “Go to the private room.”
“Please follow me.”
Su Ling followed the waiter to the right section, then reached a corner after walking for a while. The corridor that leads to the private rooms is on the right. Then, Su Ling stopped on his tracks. The waiter looked at him in confusion. Before he could ask why, Su Ling pointed to the decorative vase on the shelf in the corner and said, “Can I take one?”
There is a large handful of ordinary roses in the vase. The flowers bloom very brilliantly and look very beautiful. The request took the waiter aback. After asking the supervisor, he nodded, “Yes.”
Su Ling picked a rose in full bloom and followed the waiter into the private room. The private room is not large, but the layout is very comfortable. On the tabletop is a brown coffee tablecloth, and two large sofa chairs were placed on each side of the table. Su Ling sat down on the seat facing the door. He deliberately sat forward a little bit, leaving a space behind before carefully placing the rose behind him.
Astonishment flashed in the waiter’s eyes. The rose is obviously going to be a gift, but this is an Omega we are talking about! He has only seen Omega receiving flowers, and never the other way round. However, the waiter concealed his astonishment and asked, “Should I help you to place an order first?”
Su Ling shook his head, “I’ll wait until my friend comes over.”
The waiter pointed to the electronic menu on the table, “You can browse the menu first and order directly on it.”
Su Ling thanked him, the waiter poured him a glass of lemon water and went out. Just as Su Ling was flipping through the menu, the private room door was pushed open. He immediately looked up at the direction and was stunned speechless.
His male god’s hair which is usually meticulously combed, are unstyled at the moment, naturally hung from his head. His bangs blocked his full forehead, half-hiding his thick black and sharp eyebrows, which gave him a deep gaze. His attire is entirely different from usual, a hoodie filled with youthful aura with jeans. He also wore casual shoes, making him looked like a university student. Narcissistic thoughts suddenly popped up in Su Ling’s mind. Did his male god dressed like this to match him?
“Thank you.” Gu Liheng thanked the waiter who led the way, walked into the private room, and the waiter closed the door for him.
That deep, magnetic voice woke Su Ling up, and he regained his senses. He stood up and smiled, “You look cool,” he said, but feeling that his words were too generic, he added, “Very handsome, especially attractive.”
Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling. The young man’s smile was bright, and his eyes were clear, and he could see admiration from his light brown eyes. The uncomfortable feeling from wearing new clothing style immediately disappeared and his mood became relaxed. Gu Liheng walked to the seat opposite Su Ling and stood still, “Thank you for the compliment, please have a seat.”
Hearing that meticulous thanks, Su Ling couldn’t help but chuckle. He sat down and shifted the rose from his seat to below the edge of the table.
Gu Liheng had just taken his seat when a red rose suddenly appeared in front of him. Then he saw that Su Ling is leaning forward on the table with one hand while the other holding a rose. His phoenix eyes were filled with smiles as he said, “For you.”
Gu Liheng was slightly taken aback and looked up at him. Su Ling smiled and said, “I just saw it in the corridor. I think it matches you well. Accept it.” Gu Liheng noticed the rose as well when he passed the corridor. Infected by Su Ling’s smile, he reached out to take the flower and asked in a puzzled tone, “It matches me?” He has heard many comments about him before, and most of it was ‘serious’, ‘boring’, ‘indifferent’. No one has ever associated him with flowers.
Su Ling sat back in his seat and nodded, “Red wine and roses.” Seeing Gu Liheng’s gaze, he winked his right eye, “It also fits my intention.” Then he paused before adding, his tone was sincere and witty, “Red roses represent fiery love yo.” The moment the words fell, his expression stiffened. Su Ling has never thought that there will be one day he would say such cheesy words! However, he wanted to laugh a little bit with his sweet feeling in his heart, the feeling of being uncontrollable with emotions is not bad. Who said that the IQ of people in love drops rapidly? As a person with no love experience, Su Ling thinks that his behaviour in front of the person he likes is not bad.
Gu Liheng moved his fingers slightly and suddenly felt that the flower in his hand is a bit heavy. After a moment of silence, he handed the flower back to Su Ling and said, “Sorry, I can’t accept it.”
So he was being narcissistic after all, Su Ling thought, his male god didn’t purposely dress up for him at all. Because if it’s really for him, male god won’t refuse the rose. However, he is not disappointed since he has already planned to chase that ‘someone’. After all, he had been rejected the day before, and it would be weird if Gu Liheng suddenly accepted him in such a short period of time. He took his hand off the table and put them behind his back, with an obvious attitude saying, “If you don’t accept it, then you can just throw it away.”
Upon hearing that, Gu Liheng frowned slightly, holding the flower in a dilemma. That hesitation makes Su Ling’s eyes curve up. Even though he refused him, but Gu Liheng must have a good impression of him; otherwise, he will not react like this. He sighed exaggeratedly, reached out to take the rose. Then he put it in the jasmine vase on the table and got up to move the vase to the window sill. He sat back to his place and smiled, “I invited you to dinner not to make it awkward for you.” He tapped on the menu. “What do you want to eat?”
Gu Liheng’s gaze fell on his face, making sure that he is not saddened by his rejection. Then he turned to the menu and ordered two dishes without hesitation. Considering Gu Liheng’s usual appetite, Su Ling ordered two extra dishes and one soup. He smiled, “The red wine you often drink is too expensive, so I will invite you to drink it next time. Please bear with me today.” During the time he stayed in the villa, Su Ling noticed that Gu Liheng would drink red wine every night, but he gave up ordering wine for him after checking how much it costs.
Gu Liheng: “It’s okay. I won’t drink any tonight. If you have anything you want, just order it. I will pay the bill.”
“You treated me enough,” Su Ling raised his eyebrows. “I said it’s my treat, so don’t fight with me.”
Gu Liheng glanced at the total price and saw that their meal is not expensive, so he agreed, “Okay.” Then he turned to business, “You said you have something very important to tell me?”
Su Ling nodded, “I’ll talk about it later, so as not to affect our meal,” his mouth curved, “I will discuss another matter with you first. I want to cooperate with the Gu company’s auction house to auction Redthorn Ball liquid. My idea is to auction once a month, do you think it works?”
Gu Liheng: “Yes, I will give you the contact details of the auction house’s general manager. You can contact him directly.”
Su Ling: “Just what I want, thank you.”
The restaurant was quick to serve the food, and they are ready in a short while. Gu Liheng took a look and found that the dishes Su Ling ordered were all his favourites. He couldn’t help but look at him. The boy has fair skin and delicate features, and his eyebrows are full of smiles, making people like him at first sight—such a nice young man. Gu Liheng gripped his fist tightly, he wanted to recover even more eagerly now. He had made a decision long ago, that he will accept the young man once he is cured. If the young man regretted chasing him, he would chase him instead. However, he suddenly has this thought that this young man is so good, some other people bound to like him(SL) as well. What to do if Su Ling gets together with other people by the time he is cured?
Su Ling pointed a finger between his brows, “Don’t frown, you don’t like the food?”
“No, it’s not that.” Gu Liheng returned to his senses and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
Su Ling glanced at Gu Liheng strangely and was relieved when he saw his expression returned to usual. After the two had eaten, the waiter collected the dishes and served them tea. After the waiter left, Su Ling raised his hand to remove the isolator and said, “The important thing I mentioned earlier is that my pheromone has returned to normal.” He laughed and continued, “If you reject me due to my pheromone factor, you can reconsider now.”
A light and pleasant smell of citrus mint soon diffused in the private room, and Su Ling controlled his pheromone to concentrate on Gu Liheng’s side. Slightly leaning forward, he asked expectantly, “Do you like it? Does it smell good?” His eyes curled up, “I think it smells good.”
The moment the sweet and refreshing scent rushed into his nose, Gu Liheng’s body became slightly heated. Soon, the smell became stronger and stronger, his heart beat wildly, and he has a strong urge to possess the owner of the scent. The muscles of his whole body tensed up, and the fingertips holding the glasses turn white. He loosened his fingers and withdrew his hand from the table to put his fist on his leg. At the same time, he leaned back against the chair, trying to put some distance between them. The moment he leaned back in his chair, he realized how stupid and meaningless his actions were.
“Put it back.” His voice was dark and muffled, and his tone was much quicker than usual, making him sounded a bit fierce.
On the other hand, Su Ling blinked and his eyes swept across Gu Liheng’s neck steadily turning red. He was about to ask when suddenly, a faint, mellow red wine scent radiated from the other side. Su Ling was taken aback, didn’t male god attach his isolator? As soon as this question appeared, the content of the physiology textbook he had read appeared in his mind.
‘Isolator blocks the scent of Alpha and Omega’s pheromone, preventing their pheromones from interacting with each other, and passively falls into estrus. ’
‘However, isolator cannot block the pheromone of Omega in the estrus period; or Alpha in the susceptible period who was attracted by Omega’s pheromone who has high compatibility with him, as the effect of isolator will be weakened.’
‘Please note, Omega in the estrus period and Alpha in the susceptible period. If you don’t have a partner, please stay in an environment without any Alpha or Omega. Use inhibitors, and wait for the moment to pass, or…’
When Su Ling recalled to this part, his whole body has already surrounded by heat, as if he had suddenly entered the steam room. He felt like steam has entered his brain, with clouds covering his mind, and his thoughts were blocked. Only the mellow scent coming from the front is clear to him. The scent was delicate and lingering, like red wine aged in oak barrels, with a touch of cedar. Helplessly attracted, Su Ling wanted to smell more of it, wanted to get closer to the owner of the fragrance. He wanted to get this smell all over his body. He got up mesmerized and started to walk around the table towards the source of the scent.
“Don’t move!” Gu Liheng softly warned. The nerve at the back of his neck was showing up, his breathing was heavy, and the thoughts in his brain pulled him into a state of extreme pain.
Reason told him to stay away from the young man, but instinct clamoured to get close to the young man and strongly possess him. When he resisted his instinct, his mood instantly became extremely depressed and frustrated. An unprecedented feeling of loneliness swept over him, making him want to hug the boy and be held in his(SL) embrace. He even wanted to seek comfort from the young man.
Something is wrong!
Gu Liheng raised his hand and touched the back of his neck. His isolator is still attached, but the smell of his pheromone was released.
He has reached a susceptible period!
The scent of citrus mint and cedar red wine blended in the air, causing the temperature in the private room to gradually rise.
When Su Ling heard Gu Liheng softly warning him to stop moving, he paused for a while but quickly moved forward again. Walking to Gu Liheng’s side, he placed his hand on the back of Gu Liheng’s sofa seat and leaned close to his neck.
Gu Liheng tilted his neck sideways and held Su Ling’s shoulder to stop him from coming near. Su Ling’s light brown eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of wetness as looked at him eagerly, “Take off the isolator and let me smell you, okay?”
Gu Liheng almost wanted to agree to him right away. He bit the tip of his tongue, the pain cleared his mind a bit. “Not okay,” he said as he took out a new isolator with trembling fingers and handed it to Su Ling, “attach it.”
Su Ling didn’t take it, his nose twitched slightly as he smelled the air. The aroma of the wine became stronger, making his feet soft. His body fell slightly, but he immediately pressed against the back of the sofa so that he won’t fall down onto the other person’s body. However, the distance between the two is extremely close, and their breaths were mixed together as they exhaled. All of a sudden, Su Ling inexplicably felt dry in his mouth and licked his lower lip. Gu Liheng’s eyes shrank sharply, and he took a step aside, trying to get up. Seeing this, Su Ling simply let go of his hand from the sofa and dropped directly on Gu Liheng, stopping his movement, managed to wrapped his hand around his(GLH) neck.
“Mmm…” Su Ling hummed uncontrollably at the moment their skin touched, and a tingling sensation swept across the body from the area of contact, followed by an endless sense of emptiness.
He wants more.
Su Ling unconsciously rubbed his face against Gu Liheng’s chest. The soft fabric of the sweater couldn’t hide anything at all so he(S) could feel that his(GLH) body is extremely stiff. Raising his head, Su Ling’s hand wrapped around Gu Liheng’s neck groped around that area.
Gu Liheng immediately grabbed his hand and said with a deep voice, “Don’t move.”
Forced to stop, Su Ling started feeling a little unsettled. He moved his head nearer that their face almost touches, pleading, “Let me smell it, I want to smell your pheromones.”
Gu Liheng’s cheeks and jaws were tight, and his black eyes were bottomless, like deep sea being swept by a storm. His body was too tightened up that a slight creaking noise could be heard coming from his bones. He did not answer Su Ling but turned his head slightly. Letting go of Su Ling’s hand, he tremblingly rubbed the side of his bracelet. The next moment, two inhibitors appeared on his hand, and he managed to inject the inhibitor on himself with a shaky hand. However, going against his instinct (to get together with an Omega) made his mentality fall to the bottom of the abyss. He almost wanted to smash the inhibitor to the ground, and then hugged the Omega in front of him tightly. Gu Liheng gasped heavily and restrained the impulse. Then he turned to the other inhibitor. The black hair that fell on his forehead was wet with sweat, and the hair on his cheeks was sticking on his face. Though he is feeling depressed and abandoned, his facial expression did not change. He took Su Ling’s hand and said, “Don’t move.”
The sight of the inhibitor cleared Su Ling’s fogged mind a bit, and his fair face was flushed with embarrassment.
Was he too proactive just now?
Su Ling calmly let Gu Liheng injects him with the inhibitor. Gu Liheng glanced at him, and after he finished, he passed the new isolator to him again. Taking the isolator and sticking it to the back of his neck, Su Ling coughed slightly and got up from Gu Liheng’s body. The heat in his body gradually subsided, Su Ling stood next to Gu Liheng and looking down at him, “Are you okay?” Physiology textbooks say that Alpha in the susceptible period is very fragile.
Gu Liheng uttered an En in a low voice, “Sorry, I didn’t notice that my susceptibility period is coming. It was my negligence.”
If it isn’t for his susceptible period, his pheromone will not leak out while having the isolator attached, and Su Ling would not be affected and fall into a state of pseudo-estrus. Fortunately, it is pseudo-estrus. If they are really in heat, then it will not be easy for them to calm down. A highly matched AO pair, which the Alpha is in susceptibility period while the Omega is in estrus period staying together in the same room; the ending result can only be ‘conquering’ and ‘being conquered’.
Su Ling replied, “It’s okay,” he chuckled lightly. “You know, I don’t mind that, but the result still gave me a bit of shock.” Gu Liheng looked up at him, and he(SL) simply shrugged, “You are not willing to mark me even when you are in susceptible period. It seems that you really don’t like me. I thought you would have a least some affection for me.”
His male god probably, really regarded him as a friend only.
Staring at each other, Su Ling added, “But unless you stop being single, I won’t give up.”
Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling, and a despicable thought suddenly appeared in his mind, wanting the young man to remember what he said and never give up on him(GLH). He didn’t say that, though, because he couldn’t give the young man a guarantee. He couldn’t even set a deadline for Su Ling because he didn’t know when he would be cured. He knows too well how terrible not setting the deadline is. Looking away, Gu Liheng went to adjust the ventilator in the private room to the maximum gear. The pheromone smell remaining in the private room quickly dissipated.
On the other hand, Su Ling is not disappointed by Gu Liheng’s reaction and stood by his side the whole time. After all the pheromones dissipated, he tapped his bracelet and paid the bill, then said, “I will send you to your car.”
Although his male god behaved normally, but his(GLH) sweaty hair and aura made him feel uneasy. After all, the textbook uses the word ‘fragile’ to describe Alpha during the susceptible period.
Unknowingly to Gu Liheng himself, his expression became relieved; this Omega’s caringness is extremely good for him now.
Su Ling has been paying attention to Gu Liheng, and apparently also noticed this change of expression. He didn’t point it out, just smiled. As Gu Liheng got up from the sofa seat, Su Ling walked to the door and opened the door first.
When Gu Liheng turned around, his eyes stopped for a moment on the vase at the windowsill. The red rose stands out among the white jasmine. He retracted his gaze, walked to the door, and went out with Su Ling.
When they reached the car, Gu Liheng suggested, “Shall I let the driver take you back?”
Su Ling shook his head and said, “No, it’s very convenient to take a taxi here.”
Gu Liheng: “I will leave after you get into the taxi.”
Su Ling smiled, “If you treat other people like this as well, I’ll be jealous.” Since the Gu Family driver is here, he doesn’t worry for his male god anymore, “You go back and have a good rest, I will leave now.” Then he took a taxi and left.
Gu Liheng watched until the taxi is out of sight. He stood there for a while and turned back to the restaurant.
Driver: “……”
The waiter who was cleaning up the private room saw Gu Liheng and immediately asked, “Sir, is there anything left behind?”
Gu Liheng nodded and walked to the window sill. He gently took the rose out and stored it in his space storage.
The waiter watched him leave in a daze. According to his understanding, everything this guest wears is all top brands. Such a person treats an ordinary rose in this way; the contrast is too great. The rose is not any treasure ah.
The fragrance bar was quite lively when Su Ling returned. He sent a message to Nalu to tell him that he was back so that Nalu will not worry. After sending the message, he went to see Grade A spiritual plants in the greenhouse. As soon as he entered, he saw three trembling plants hugging each other. Next to them, two black roots emerging from the ground were swaying from side to side. Su Ling quickly looked at the floor of the greenhouse, and then looked out from the entrance to the door of the fragrance-making room. There were no openings except where the roots emerged from the ground.
When Su Ling looked back, his wrists were entangled by the roots. At the same time, a diagonal line appeared in his mind, and then another, but the angle changed as the lines appeared. Soon, his mind was filled with clusters of lines, three in each cluster, one slanted to the left, one to the right, and the middle one was straight vertically. Each cluster is not far apart, and the horizontal and vertical rows are quite neat. Su Ling didn’t understand it at first, but when the third row of lines began to appear, he finally saw it, isn’t this just a field of grass? The corners of his mouth twitched, and he squeezed the cool, elastic roots around his wrists, “Let go, I’ll go see you.”
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ get it ? XD
When Su Ling arrived in the fragrance-making room, he got surrounded by roots in a blink of an eye. He asked, “Are you so bored that you start growing grass?”
All the roots went up and down, then again, and then… If this is someone’s head, at this frequency, the head will probably fall to the ground.
“Okay,” Su Ling waved his hand, “I understand.”
In his mind, Xian Mo Yu appeared to entertain itself in boredom, and then its roots pressed against the window, wanting to go out. The last image was two of its roots corroded the ground and smoothly connected to the greenhouse. It’s just that when it arrived in the greenhouse, no matter whether the roots were far or near, or any action it made, the three plants just shivered uncontrollably and ignored him. After the images flashed quickly, a vague tearful expression TT appeared in Su Ling’s mind.
Su Ling looked at the roots that pressed itself into his arms like a baby and thought for a moment. He comforted, “The world of the strong is lonely. This shows that you are strong!” The last three words were heavily emphasized.
The roots paused for a moment, then waved frantically. Its low mood disappeared and replaced by a sense of joy.
Su Ling couldn’t help but smile. Although Xian Mo Yu is huge physically, its personality is really like a child, emotional and easily coaxed. He said, “Tomorrow, I will take you out to go through the ownership procedures, so you won’t feel cooped up.”
Xian Mo Yu became happier. Su Ling played with it for a while, then went to the greenhouse to comfort the other three plants. When he left the greenhouse, he suddenly had the illusion that he is raising a few children. Xian Mo Yu is the little overlord, and the three is little pitiful thing. The thought tickled him and gave him a sense of ‘chuunibyo’.
When he returned to the lounge, the noise in the front hall was too loud, so he turned on the soundproofing system, and the room instantly became quiet. Su Ling frowned. The soundproofing system is indeed perfect, but he felt uncomfortable from being too quiet as if the space which he is in is disconnected from the world. He took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom, and decided to make time to check for some rental listing. Although his current money is not enough to buy a house, renting a house is still fine.
Before going to bed, he leaned against the bed and casually browsed around the forum in the relationship subforum. He wanted to understand Planet Belle’s love pattern and also wanted to know more about Alpha in the susceptible period. He was typing the words ‘susceptible period’ in the search box when the corner of his eyes caught sight of a ‘Hot’ post pinned on the top of the forum.
“Ahhhhh! Today I am hanging on the lemon tree[1] again! The super-beautiful Omega who gave the Alpha flowers and was refused, a plot twist appeared!”
The picture attached was a large bouquet of roses in a vase.
