Rebirth to become the President’s Omega Wife - Chap 44
When Su Ling walked out of the bathroom, he took a glance around and immediately saw Gu Liheng. Why is male god’s expression looked so deep? He patted Lin Meng’s arm and gestured at Gu Liheng’s direction, meaning that he wanted to go over there.
Lin Meng is not going to be an ‘electric light bulb’ so he said, “I’m going to see Ah Rui now. Contact me if something happened.”
Nodded, Su Ling headed straight towards Gu Liheng. Gu Liheng’s gaze fell on him; it was very focused and somewhat affectionate. Su Ling walked to Gu Liheng’s side and said, “You…”
He only said a word, but it makes his brows furrow. Not only was his voice muffled, and his tongue hurts, but the wound continued to bleed. There’s not much blood coming out, but the smell of blood made him very uncomfortable. Other things will have to wait; he better treats his wound first. Putting aside what he was about to ask, Su Ling tried to speak without agitating his tongue, “Can you take me to the lounge? I want to treat the wound.”
Su Ling collects the nectar every day and puts it in his space storage. He remembers the effect of the nectar and wants to use it on the wound. To be honest, he could do it in the restroom earlier, but he really doesn’t want to check the wound with his tongue sticking out in the restroom. Though the restroom’s environment is very good, it is disturbing as it’s still a toilet. He felt like he would retch if he really did that.
Understood what Su Ling means, Gu Liheng wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, “Your tongue hurt?”
Su Ling nodded. The smell of blood in his mouth became heavier, and the blood had accumulated, so he didn’t want to speak anymore.
Gu Liheng: “Come with me.”
Su Ling followed him through the corridor connecting the hall to the back building. On the second floor, they turned in to the room on the left-hand side. The room was huge, the color hues were mainly in black, white, and gray tones; clean and tidy.
Su Ling frowned and pointed to his mouth. He pursed his lips and bulged his cheeks.
Gu Liheng immediately understood what he meant and opened the door on the left-hand side, “This is the bathroom.”
Hurriedly walking in, Su Ling spat out the blood and saliva into the sink, then quickly rinsed his mouth with water.
His actions were fast, but since Gu Liheng is standing beside him, he saw everything clearly, and his complexion suddenly changed. After Su Ling spat everything out, he rinsed his mouth again twice. When he was about to continue, Gu Liheng handed him a tissue and said, “This is not good for the wound. I will go get the treatment device.”
Su Ling took the tissue and wiped his hands and mouth. On the other hand, Gu Liheng went out to get the treatment device. From his space storage, Su Ling took the nectar and placed it on the sink. He opened the bottle and poured some into the bottle cap. His preparations were done; he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue in the mirror. His tongue was red on the right side. The wound area was the darkest, and a little blood came out. He took a piece of tissue and lightly dabbed to absorb the blood.
This was what Gu Liheng saw when he walked in with the treatment device. His gaze changed slightly, and his footsteps halted for a moment.
Su Ling was a little embarrassed, thinking that he looked stupid at the moment. However, he just cleaned up, so he didn’t want to rinse his tongue again, so he turned to face Gu Liheng and pointed to the therapy device in his hand. Gu Liheng carefully treated the wound with the device. After the treatment, the surface of the wound appeared to be healed. But the color was darker, and the pain did not disappear.
“Treatment device can only repair the surface tissue quickly. As for the internal wound, it has not healed yet, so you still need medication.”
Hearing that, Su Ling pointed to the nectar on the sink. He turned around, dipped it with his finger, and applied it to the wound. The transparent nectar quickly disappeared on the surface of the wound, and the pain was much reduced. Su Ling’s eyes lit up; he dipped his finger again, ready to continue applying. If anyone knows such precious nectar is used to heal this kind of small skin trauma and even used so much, they would say ‘What a waste!’. However, the two didn’t feel anything. Su Ling collected it every day, so he didn’t think it would be very precious, and Gu Liheng only hoped that Su Ling could get better soon.
‘Knock knock’
After the knock, the Gu Mansion’s butler could be heard calling from outside the door, “Master, Madam wants you to go to the hall. The dance party is starting soon.”
Gu Liheng frowned. Su Ling stopped and started to clear the sink. However, Gu Liheng lightly grabbed his hand and said, “You can finish treating your wound before you go. I need to dance the opening dance with my mother, so I have to go first.”
Su Ling blinked: “This is your room, right?”
Gu Liheng: “En.”
Su Ling laughed, as expected, his male god has brought him to his private territory!
“Go, I’ll go out when I’m done, and I promise not to disturb your things.”
Gu Liheng let go of his hand, “Contact me if you need anything.”
After he left, Su Ling applied the nectar twice again, and the wound is almost healed. He tried to talk and found out that he would only feel a slight twinge if he tried to pronounce his words to standard pronunciation. Su Ling put away the nectar and cleaned the sink. Then he took a glance around the room before leaving. When he arrived in the main hall, the light was much darker than before, and there was a beautiful melody playing. Gu Liheng and Mother Gu were halfway through their opening dance.
Su Ling’s expression was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to his childhood, but he quickly recovered. Gu Liheng’s temperament is very different from that person who danced with his mother back then. Gu Liheng has a calm and unsmiling face, impeccable dancing posture, elegant, gentleman, and charming. Since his mother’s death[1], Su Ling has not seriously watched other people dancing for many years; he even instinctively rejected it. But at this time, his eyes followed Gu Liheng until the end of the dance.
After the opening dance, the music switched to another tune. Many guests began to invite their partners, and soon there were many dancers in the middle of the hall. Some older people and those who came here alone without a partner went to Mother Gu and Gu Liheng’s side to compliment their dancing. Mother Gu said a few humble words and glanced around. With a smile, she took Zhao Qi’s hand, who was standing in front of the guests and glanced at Gu Liheng.
Zhao Qi blushed and looked obedient.
Su Ling narrowed his eyes and strode over.
Mother Gu smiled and said, “Young people are better at dancing. I just showed my humble dance, but I will stop to appreciate other’s dance now.” Then, she smiled and asked Zhao Qi, “Do you have company tonight?”
Everyone nearby immediately understood that she is choosing a dance partner for President Gu!
Zhao Qi was about to speak, but Zhao Qing quickly stepped forward and took his shoulders. He smiled at Mother Gu and said, “I have been begging for a long time before my younger brother agreed to be my dance partner. Otherwise, it would be a shame if everyone is dancing, and I don’t even have a partner.”
Mother Gu’s expression changed slightly; what does the Zhao family mean? Zhao Qi was the one who proposed to dance with her son, and she was very satisfied with Zhao Qi. Their Gu family owed a favor to the Zhao family, and it seems that Zhao Qi wanted to marry her son. She thought it was good since Zhao Qi is interested. Hence she tried to match them together. Unexpectedly, a minor issue came out. Although she did not say clearly, the people present must understand her meaning. Zhao Qing’s move is simply saying that the Zhao family does not want to get involved with her son.
Zhao Qi was startled, and he glared at Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing smiled innocently and rubbed Zhao Qi’s hair. However, the hand holding onto his shoulder secretly tightened, “You look forward to dancing with your brother too, right?”
On the other side, Mother Gu quickly recovered and let go of Zhao Qi. She smiled gently and said, “You have a good relationship, go and dance.”
Zhao Qing took Zhao Qi away and went to the middle of the dance floor to dance.
Zhao Qi lowered his voice and asked angrily, “Brother, why are you doing this?”
There was a smile on Zhao Qing’s lips, but his eyes were cold, “I told you before, don’t hit on President Gu. You know who he likes.”
Zhao Qi: “I don’t care, as long as I can marry him, it will be good for our family’s business, isn’t it?”
“No need,” Zhao Qing sighed, “Qi Qi, our family doesn’t need alliance by marriage. Your happiness is the most important thing. I don’t know what you are thinking. You obviously don’t like President Gu.”
Zhao Qi pursed his lips. Suddenly, he thought of the scene where he broke apart with Zhao Qing, and their family fell into ruins in his previous life, and his eyes were slightly red. He exhausted everything to pursue Xiào Rui, but the final result was tragic. His actions also harmed his parents and brother. Now that he is reborn, he has a chance to take revenge. How could he be willing to do nothing? But now, it is no longer possible for him to marry into the Gu family.
In his previous life, Su Ling died early, and Gu Liheng had no one he liked. His mother did not recover, so she made a dying wish to let Gu Liheng marry him, but now that won’t happen anymore.
Zhao Qing felt pained in his heart, looking at his brother’s current appearance. After all, he is the younger brother he has been spoiling since childhood. But thinking about his inexplicable behavior that always provokes Gu Liheng, he decided to teach him a lesson.
“Look, President Gu has someone in mind to be his dance partner. Even if Madam Gu asks you to be his dance partner, he will refuse. Have you ever thought about what you would do in such a scene?”
Zhao Qi followed his gaze and saw Gu Liheng approaching Su Ling. A brunette Alpha is standing in front of Su Ling, trying to invite him to dance.
Su Ling frowned and stepped back, “Sorry, I want to take a break.”
The brunette Alpha was about to say something, and there was a voice beside him, “Don’t waste your time. He can’t dance.”
Su Ling and the Alpha both turned their heads and looked over. Su Ao continued, “Except for his looks, he knows nothing, and his pheromone smells bad.”
The Alpha seemed a little surprised, “This…”
Su Ling didn’t care about the brunette Alpha’s opinion, but he couldn’t ignore the provocation. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, “You looked confident. Can you dance?”
“Of course.” Su Ao raised his chin, feeling proud.
Su Ling’s lips twitched, “I was in the Su family for 18 years and 2 years older than you, but the Su family has never invited a dance teacher for me.” He paused before saying, “You are 2 years younger than me, but everything for you is the best. You really should be confident.”
The guests nearby heard that, and many people started to talk in whispers. When they looked at Su Ling, their eyes were filled with sympathy.
“As usual, stepmother is unreliable ah.”
“No wonder he wants to sever their relationship.”
Su Ao’s expression changed, “Don’t talk nonsense, I…”
At this time, the dark-faced Father Su and Zhao Han came over. Zhao Han patted Su Ao on the shoulder, and said softly to Su Ling, “Xiao Ling, you can’t spout nonsense. We did invite a teacher for you. You don’t want to learn, what can I do?”
Su Ling: “Really now? Which teacher?”
That rebut caused Zhao Han to choke on her words, and Father Su scolded in a low voice, “Stop fooling around. Even if you have severed ties with the Su family, your surname is still Su. It is not a good thing to you either if you continue to discredit the Su family.”
Su Ling lightly raised his gaze, his eyes indifferent as he said, “Discredit? If it weren’t for your precious son to trouble me again and again, I wouldn’t want to exchange even a single word with your family, let alone mentioning it to other people. As for whether what I said is true, you know in your heart.”
This was the reason why the owner of this body was sensitive and timid. Apart from his own body factor, it has a lot to do with the environment he grew up in.
Staring at Su Ling for 2 seconds, Father Su turned to Su Ao and said, “Apologize to him.”
“Father!” Su Ao looked at him in shock, while Zhao Han looked incredulous.
Father Su’s tone was stern as he asked, “Did you take the initiative to provoke him?”
Su Ao bit his lip, not saying anything so Father Su raised his tone higher, “Did you?”
Su Ao: “Yes, but…”
“Apologize.” Father Su lowered his face.
Su Ao was used to being spoiled, and Father Su has never been so harsh on him. This time, he was so scared that his eyes were red. Feeling fearful, wronged and uncomfortable, he said to Su Ling, “I’m sorry.”
Su Ling was caught off guard as well, but after a second thought, he thinks he probably understood why. The him right now is not the same little pitiful who doesn’t have any backing. He is not interested being entangled with ‘children’, so it’s fine to just give him a scare or two, “It’s okay,” he smiled, “If we ever meet again in the future, pretend we don’t know each other, understood?”
Seeing Su Ling’s smile, Su Ao shrank his shoulders subconsciously and nodded aggrievedly. That little coward has become a terrifying person!
Feeling satisfied, Su Ling excused himself and headed to the right. Before he could take a step, he saw Gu Liheng standing not far away looking at him. So he smiled and walked towards Gu Liheng.
Lin Meng has been paying attention to Gu Liheng, worried that his friend’s sweetheart will be hijacked by someone else. When he saw the two is going to meet, he quickly motioned to Xiào Rui, and they moved to their side(SL+GLH) while dancing. He smiled and said, “President Gu, why don’t you invite Ling Ling to a dance?”
Due to Lin Meng was quite a distance away before this, he didn’t hear Su Ao saying that Su Ling could not dance. But Gu Liheng heard it, so he didn’t ask.
All of a sudden, a gorgeous-looking Omega crossed in front of Su Ling and stretched out his left hand to Gu Liheng, “Can I dance with you?”
Omega pays attention to their identity, and adding to the fact that they are naturally favoured, they rarely invite an Alpha actively. But if they ever did and the Alpha refuses, it will be very embarrassing to them. For the Alpha, they would be seen as incredibly rude to decline an Omega’s invitation.
Frowning slightly, Gu Liheng did not immediately agree. The Omega bit his lip lightly, and his confident smile faded.
“Sorry, this is my partner.” Su Ling said at this moment.
The Omega was surprised by the statement, didn’t someone said he doesn’t know how to dance? It’s because of this that he came to invite President Gu. But the Omega also noticed that President Gu would not agree to his invitation, so he took his hand back and said, “Sorry for the bother.”
After the Omega left, Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng. Thinking of Belle Planet’s gender restrictions, he restrained the urge to stretch out his right hand. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Not going to invite me?”
Gu Liheng glanced at Su Ling and stretched out his right hand. Then he bowed slightly, “Can I ask you for a dance?”
Su Ling smiled, “Yes.”
Taking a step back, Gu Liheng did a standard pose, and Su Ling skillfully took his hand. The distance between the two instantly narrowed.
Gu Liheng said softly, “Don’t be nervous, just follow my footsteps. And thank you for helping me out.”
“Relief? It’s not like you don’t know how to dance. Just accept that Omega’s invitation, it’s not a difficult situation.” Su Ling danced proficiently, shaking his body slightly.
Gu Liheng looked into his eyes and explained, “Although it would be rude of me, I don’t want to accept the invitation.”
Su Ling let go of his left hand, and Gu Liheng’s conditioned reflexes cooperatively matched the movement. His(SL) body swung around; flexibly and lightly. Then, Su Ling placed his hand on Gu Liheng’s shoulder, pulling both closer, “It just so happens that I don’t want you to accept as well.”
Hearing that, Gu Liheng’s heartbeat speeds up. The young man’s waist is soft, and just one movement from him fascinates him(GLH), not to mention the young man was very close to him when he said this.
On the other side, Lin Meng’s eyes lit up, “Wow, Ling Ling, you dance beautifully.”
Su Ling smiled, his eyes drooping slightly. As the son of a dancer, he has been exposed to various dances since he was a child. How could he not dance well? However, just thinking of these, it is inevitable to recall some memories, good or bad: the powdery air, the smell of perfume followed by a figure.
Gu Liheng’s appreciation sounded beside his ear, “You are great at dancing.”
Su Ling looked up at Gu Liheng and smiled, “I can be better.”
Upon saying that, his hands pressed slightly on Gu Liheng’s shoulders, and his body moved backwards. His dancing postures were both rigid and soft, dancing, spinning, and bending gently. Each movement was light, yet full of strength, and his figure seemed to glow. Gu Liheng cooperated and let him dance to the fullest. It has been a long time since Su Ling danced with anyone like this. At first, he felt light and free. Soon, some scenes overlapped with his memory.
“Ling Ling, do you think mother’s dances great?”
“Ling Ling danced really well, so amazing, my son.”
“Son, mom is in love again, you will have a father soon. Now watch my newly choreographed dance.” But there was no dance, ending in a comedy.
“Why? Everyone said they love me, they say so many sweet words. But in the end, they don’t even want to marry me.”
Su Ling’s eyes closed lightly. He had forgotten how many boyfriends his mother had made and looked forward to several weddings, but in the end, she was disappointed. But his male god will not let him down.
At the end of the song, Gu Liheng took him out of the dance zone smoothly, and his forehead was lightly resting on Gu Liheng’s shoulders. The strong scent of an Alpha made him feel safe and stable.
There was concern in Gu Liheng’s magnetic voice as he asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Su Ling stood up straight and shook his head, “No, but I want to go back first.”
Sometimes, once the closed box of memory is opened, it will spiral out of control. His mood is low at the moment, and it is not suitable for him to stay here. Moreover, he has danced with male god, it is enough to dispel many people’s advance.
Gu Liheng: “I will send you.”
“No,” Su Ling refused. “You have to be here for the cake cutting after the dance. It’s your mother’s birthday, so it is not appropriate for you to be absent.”
In the end, Gu Liheng insisted on sending Su Ling to the door. He(GLH) waited for him to get into the car and watched as the vehicle drives away; his expression was dim. The young man’s emotions were too obvious. Did he(SL) felt unhappy to dance with him? But didn’t he(SL) said he doesn’t want him to dance with other people? When he(GLH) was in a low mood a few days ago, he didn’t say anything either so the young man’s mood should be as uncomfortable as he is now. Clenching his fists tightly, Gu Liheng glanced at the direction where the car has left, and returned to the hall.
…
Su Ao looked shocked after watching Su Ling dance. It took a long time before he returned to his sense and he shook Zhao Han’s arm, “When did he learn how to dance? He shouldn’t know how?”
With a sullen face, Zhao Han replied, “I don’t know.”
Not only Su Ling knew how to dance, but he also danced very nicely. Many Alphas were attracted, but because of President Gu, no one dared to take action. Zhao Han took a deep breath and patted his shoulder, “Look around if there’s an Alpha you like and dance with him. Don’t talk nonsense, and be good. I will start greeting other people, and you will make more friends.”
After Zhao Han left, Su Ao pouted. He was so embarrassed tonight that he didn’t want to care about anyone.
“Su Ao,” Zhao Qi walked to him, his face pale, “didn’t you say that Su Ling can’t dance?”
Su Ao: “Yes, he didn’t learn it, and he was very clumsy,” then he added, “maybe he learned it after leaving the Su family.”
Hearing that, Zhao Qi’s face tensed up; this is impossible! He who started learning how to dance from elementary school knew best, from how Su Ling danced so well, it is impossible to learn it in a short time. A bold idea appeared in his mind, so Zhao Qi approached Su Ao and whispered, “Don’t you think Su Ling has changed a lot?”
Su Ao nodded wildly in agreement, “He was very timid before, and the him today scared me.”
“Say, is it possible that he is not Su Ling?” Zhao Qi pursed his lips and said softly.
A shiver ran through Su Ao’s body. When he was in junior high school, he read many ancient spiritual stories out of curiosity. Although it might not be true, the atmosphere it creates is still terrifying. He looked at Zhao Qi weirdly, “My mother said don’t read too much of those kinds of books, else you will suffer from illusions. Su Ling is Su Ling. Perhaps his suicide attempt stimulated a personality change, and he has also inherited his mother’s inheritance. Thus, he felt emboldened by it.”
“Other than that, how could 2 people be exactly the same? Even the stinky pheromones are the same. Not to mention, when he accepts the inheritance, he needs to verify his identity, and there can be no mistake.”
Zhao Qi only glanced at him and walked away.
Seeing his lack of energy figure, Su Ao suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for him. They were the same, both have suffered counterattack by Su Ling.
…
When Su Ling returned to his rented unit, he released the spiritual plants into the room. Then he took out the essential oils he extracted these days, preparing to make incense. Every time he thinks of his mother, he will think of dance, cosmetics, and perfume. Dancing was his mother’s life, and she ended her life on stage. Dancing has become something that Su Ling both love and fear; he doesn’t like much of cosmetics. In the end, perfume is his favourite. He listed perfumer as his career goal back in his previous life because he enjoyed doing something that has a connection with his mother.
Perfume made in Belle Planet is considered a kind of fragrance products, and his identity is suitable for making fragrance as well. During the day, he talked with Lin Meng for a long time, and he had an idea at the time. He wanted to make an effective soothing fragrance for male god. Male god’s sleep quality was too poor. It just so happens that he has Golden Baby’s breath in his hand. The stem is effective for soothing the nerves. It is the most precious and commonly used essential ingredient for soothing fragrance on the market. It is mainly used to soothe the mood before going to bed. Taking out the stems accumulated these days, Su Ling used an extractor to extract essential oils.
Surrounded by various fragrance, his depression due to old memories gradually calmed down. He tried to mix the essential oil extracted from the stem with other spiritual plant’s essential oils; unfortunately, there is no ageing machine here so he cannot mix them together immediately. It will take some time. When he tried to make the fragrance before, it was because there was not enough time to age, so the fragrance was not thoroughly mixed. He experimented with different proportions, each of which was only a small portion. He divided them into small bottles and covered with a lid, preparing to see the effect tomorrow.
When Su Ling started to make the fragrances, he had no concept of time at all. Hence, by the time he is done, he realized that it was almost 11.00 pm. He left the spiritual plant room, took a bath and slept.
The next morning, the only thing in his mind was how the incense products will come out today. So, after harvesting the liquid from Redthorn Ball, he returned straight home and went to the spiritual plant room. He was smelling the fragrances carefully one by one and comparing the differences when someone suddenly knocked on the unit’s door. The knock sounded 3 times rhythmically.
‘Knock knock knock’
Su Ling did not turn on the sound insulation system, plus the door of the spiritual plant room was not closed, and the room was closest to the door. Hence, the knock on the door was obvious. He put down the bottle in his hand and went to the door. Before that, he took a glance at the electronic display on the right side of the door.
His male god is wearing a sleek black suit and holding a handful of brilliant roses.
Su Ling: “…”
Unexpectedly, his male god has finally figured it out?
