“I won’t change!”, Ji Xinglan declared unreasonably.
With one hand he held Yan Qiu to sit up straight against him and not slide away. With his other hand, he toyed with Yan Qiu’s slightly wet hair.
Then he leaned against the tub, tilted his handsome face up and exhaled; feeling relaxed.
“The size of the bathtub is perfect. It’s just right for two people bathing together,” he said teasingly.
With his back to Ji Xinglan, Yan Qiu pursed his lips. His legs felt a little weak. The water had made the walls of the bathtub wet and slippery, because of which, he could not hold onto it. His knuckles turned white whenever he tried to grip the edge tightly, resulting in him constantly slipping because of his movements.
Behind him, Ji Xinglan stared at him with eyes lit with desire. It burned a path down the beautiful curve on his neck, the clear lines on his spine, and below.
Ji Xinglan gently caressed Yan Qiu’s slender back. He could feel the bumps of the ribs, clearly visible under his paper thin skin.
His gaze turned gentle and love shone in his eyes.
“You’re too thin,” he said with a sigh.
When he saw that Yan Qiu was slipping even when he gripped the edge of the tub to maintain his balance, Ji Xinglan held his shoulders so that he could lean against him. He then scooped up warm water from the bathtub and poured it against Yan Qiu’s long neck and shoulders.
The dribble of warm water against his exposed cold skin made Yan Qiu shudder reflexively.
The water droplets would not stay long on his smooth and tender skin. The moment Ji Xinglan splashed water on him, they rolled down. But still, Ji Xinglan tirelessly continued splashing water on him, and watched, as the water droplets slid down Yan Qiu’s back, only to disperse back in their reflections in the water.
Yan Qiu did not know why he was suddenly dragged and made to lean against Ji Xinglan. Feeling uneasy, he just licked his lips and in a raspy voice asked, “What are you doing?”
Ji Xinglan calmly caressed his back. He liked this environment. Steam wafting out of the cramped bathtub, with no room to maneuver whatsoever.
Ji Xinglan brought Yan Qiu out of the bathtub and made him stand in front of the sink.
Yan Qiu glanced at the steamed-up mirror and knew what he wanted to do. Ji Xinglan seemed to love this. He said that he could not only see Yan Qiu’s flushed face but also all his microexpressions clearly through the mirror.
He first sized up Yan Qiu from head to toe then bent down to kiss his neck.
Yan Qiu was young, not even twenty-two yet, so despite giving birth to two babies recently, Yan Qiu had already recovered to his past energetic and beautiful self. He didn’t look much different from before.
However, Yan Qiu did not feel confident. He felt that he was no longer as good-looking as before. When he saw Ji Xinglan watching him, he felt embarrassed. He wanted to hide and use something to cover himself.
But Ji Xinglan stopped him. “Don’t hide. You know that I love you no matter how you look.”
Yan Qiu felt shy because of what he said. He did not want to look at what was going on behind him, so he looked away and stared at the wet wall, urging Ji Xinglan to hurry up.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” When Ji Xinglan heard this he smiled and put his chin on Yan Qiu’s shoulder. Acting cute he asked, “Babe, do you remember how long it has been since we…?”

“I don’t!” The vapor rendered Yan Qiu’s thick lashes wet and the steam blazed his cheeks pink.

…They had two babies. Why was he targeting only Xing Xing?
“Ji Xinglan?” Yan Qiu felt bad for Xing Xing. In disbelief, he asked tentatively, “Are you jealous?”
Even though it is said that two alphas could never coexist peacefully in the same space; no one ever said that an alpha father would be jealous of their own alpha son.
Ji Xinglan’s expression when Xing Xing kissed him rose to his mind, and Yan Qiu’s lips twitched. He did not know whether to laugh or cry about it.
“That’s impossible”, Ji Xinglan denied.
But Yan Qiu was not that easily fooled. After all, Ji Xinglan had once been jealous of a cat.
“Who would be jealous of their own son…?” Yan Qiu found it hilarious, but he was also a little exasperated. He could not resist teasing Ji Xinglan, “You’re seriously so childish…”
Yan Qiu’s words died. Ji Xinglan had pressed down on his shoulder and bit his neck.
The skin on his nape was tender and smooth. Yan Qiu knew that it would brea and bleed even when Ji Xinglan bit him lightly, so he immediately begged for mercy, “I’m sorry. I won’t criticize you anymore, alright? Ji Xinglan, you’re the most mature person I know. It’s true. I’ve never seen an alpha who is more mature than you are—Hiss!”
Yan Qiu’s act of arguing with Ji Xinglan to stall for time had the reverse effect. He was pushed up against the sink, and could only gasp and purse his lips.
His eyes were moist. It might be due to the vapor but it could also be his tears.
Yan Qiu saw Ji Xinglan through the mirror. It felt like he was holding back something. He bit into his neck and bullied him especially ferociously.
……
After cleaning him up thoroughly, Ji Xinglan carried Yan Qiu out and put him gently on the bed. He was covered in his alpha’s pheromones.
Mrs. Ji was home tonight, so they did not need to take care of the children. They could finally take a break for the day.
Yan Qiu was already so tired that he could not be bothered to even open his eyes. He turned around and hugged Ji Xinglan before burying his face into his neck and urged him to turn off the lights.
Ji Xinglan obediently turned off the ceiling light. Only the bedside lamp remained lit.
Under the gentle orange light, he reached out a hand to caress Yan Qiu’s hair. Yan Qiu stayed in his arms quietly and had his eyes shut in complete trust. The illumination from the lamp cast a shadow of his thick eyelashes on his cheeks.
Yan Qiu’s body was covered in Ji Xinglan’s scent. The refreshing fragrance from the alpha pheromones filled his body in a domineering manner, as if claiming territory.
Ji Xinglan stared at him quietly for a while before he planted a kiss on Yan Qiu’s forehead and turned off the bedside lamp. “Goodnight.”
……
The next morning, Mrs. Ji hired a nanny, who incidentally, had brought Ji Xinglan up.
She had been a nanny for more than twenty years and was really skilled in taking care of babies. Even if Xing Xing was a mischievous brat who was really difficult to handle, once she patted his back, he would immediately stop crying.
Yan Qiu imitated her and patted Xing Xing’s back as well, but Xing Xing just cried even louder.
Just whose baby was he? He was even more difficult to handle than his father.
When he remembered how he had to serve Ji Xinglan yesterday in the bathroom, Yan Qiu’s legs felt weak and he sat down on the chair.
As he watched Nanny Cheng play with the babies, Yan Qiu asked her curiously, “What was Ji Xinglan like when he was young?”
Nanny Cheng was a gentle female beta with a head full of gray hair. By the looks of it, she was at least sixty years old. A slight accent can be heard in her voice as she answered cordially, “When Lan Lan was young, he loved crying and even wet the bed. His father hit his butt once and he cried for an entire day. After that, no one dared to hit his butt anymore.”
Ji Xinglan was speechless.
Yan Qiu laughed maniacally and hit Ji Xinglan’s butt without hesitation. Others might not dare to hit his butt, but he did.
Yan Qiu felt like he had seized top blackmail material on Ji Xinglan and felt smug for days. Whenever he could, he would say. “Hey, I thought that all of you upper-class children don’t even eat. I didn’t expect that you’d wet the bed when you were a baby.
“Did you wet the bed as many times as Xing Xing?
“Lan Lan, did you still wet the bed after you turned eight?”
In the end, Ji Xinglan could not take it anymore and pinned him on the bed and said through gritted teeth, “I can still do plenty of things. Do you want to try?”
“Alright, I won’t say it anymore!” Yan Qiu’s arrogance disappeared when he was pinned under Ji Xinglan.
When he saw Ji Xinglan unbuckling his belt, he immediately became timid and begged for mercy. He flailed around. “Ji Xinglan, stop fooling around, please? I won’t say it anymore! I really won’t!”
But Ji Xinglan said only two simple words, “Too late.”
With one hand he held Yan Qiu down and with the other he pulled his belt off. He caught the hands of a certain “mighty alpha” who just kept running his mouth off and tied his hands to the bed.
……
Due to them fooling around the night before, when Yan Qiu stood in front of the mirror to try on his uniform the next day, he frowned and felt worried as he saw all the fresh hickeys on his neck.
He had to go to work on Monday. If on the first day of work he went to work with hickeys covering his entire body, he would seem like a frivolous person.
Yan Qiu pulled up the collar of his uniform until it reached its maximum height, but it only barely covered the red marks. He grumbled in his heart. ‘Why can’t Ji Xinglan put those hickeys a little lower? These are too obvious. Everyone can see them!’
But once he thought about it, he realised that based on Ji Xinglan’s manner of doing things, he would definitely want everyone to see that Yan Qiu belonged to him.
Yan Qiu sighed and focused on tying his belt. The military had recruited a lot of people this year. Most of the omegas like him, who had just joined the military, were assigned simple jobs like being secretary interns.
Apparently, Yan Qiu was assigned to be the secretary of a new lieutenant.
Ji Xinglan pushed open the door and saw Yan Qiu in his uniform. It made his legs look really long and lean. He was standing in front of the full-length mirror and tying his tie.
He walked over quietly and hugged Yan Qiu from behind, shocking him so much that his hands trembled while they were working on the tie.
Ji Xinglan put his head on his shoulder, looked at him in the mirror, and praised, “You look really good.”
Yan Qiu hummed in answer, but Ji Xinglan did not seem to be content with it. He touched randomly and messed up the uniform that Yan Qiu had just smoothed out.
“Why are you being so weird today?” Yan Qiu reached the end of his tolerance and pushed his hands down.
With his head still on his shoulder Ji Xinglan winked at Yan Qiu and hinted cutely, “I’m jealous. Can’t you tell?”
Yan Qiu asked in puzzlement, “Why are you suddenly jealous?”
“You’re going to be a secretary for someone else.” Ji Xinglan hugged him and unbuttoned his shirt collar with a flick of his fingers. “You look so good, but someone else is going to see it.”
“…”
“Babe, military officers are mostly all young alphas.” Ji Xinglan narrowed his eyes and continued dryly, “Most of them are from the military school and have never seen omegas before.”
He made it sound really scary.
“Aside from necessary contact during work, you have to stay far away from them. If anyone bullies you, tell me,” Ji Xinglan stressed.
Yan Qiu did not intend to have any private contact with other alpha officers. But he was a little intimidated by Ji Xinglan’s fierce tone. He was being treated like a child, all in a bid to protect him.
Even though Yan Qiu understood what he meant, he still felt a little speechless. “I might end up as the secretary of some bald old alpha officer.”
“No. You’re a secretary intern, you would be assigned to a new alpha officer as their assistant.” Ji Xinglan stressed. “They’re all young graduates.”
“Tsk. Do you think everyone is like you?” Yan Qiu broke out of his grasp and looked at the mirror to re-button the unbuttoned collar. (Ehehehehehehe) “Got it, I know what I’m doing. Stop being jealous.”
When he saw that Ji Xinglan was still not saying anything, Yan Qiu pushed him to the side. “Enough! An average alpha can’t compare to you.”
Ji Xinglan appeared satisfied and sat down on the side to pour himself a glass of water. As he watched Yan Qiu smooth out his uniform, he said, “I have a new secretary too. Are you jealous?”
When he saw that Yan Qiu did not react, he said in a profound manner, “I heard that the omega is young and has a hot figure.”
Yan Qiu looked at his thin body and let out a huff. If the omega had a hot figure, then she should be a female omega.
“Whatever.” Yan Qiu might appear unconcerned, but when he heard Ji Xinglan’s descriptions, he was really jealous.
Why was Ji Xinglan allowed to prevent him from becoming another alpha’s secretary, but he was allowed to have an omega assistant?
That was so unfair!
Mogumoguchan: I bet on nothing that Yan Qiu is Ji Xinglan’s secretary.
Sarcasm: hehehe…
Thanks for the chapter 🤣❤️
Don’t tell me they going to work together in office too?
Hahaha since it’s more a case of ‘when’ than ‘if’, let’s just wait for the office snusnu 😉
If anyone could pull the necessary strings to put them in the same office together, it would be Ji Xinglan or his father. It would be kind of funny if Yan Qiu got assigned to Li Chengyan and had to hear about Xie Yu’s intimate details all day.
Thanks for the chapter
Them working together would be funny. Thanks for the chapter and your time.
With Daddy Ji and JXL inside, will YQ be a sec for someone else??? 😗.. ofcourse not! 😂
These two….
