When they walked out of the small forest and returned to the road side, the sky had already turned completely dark. All along the way, Mr. Yang spared no pains in comforting Yan Qiu without end, to the point that Yan Qiu almost couldn’t bear it anymore and told him the truth.
Once they reached the main road, Yan Qiu looked up, just in time to see Ji Xinglan walk over.
Yan Qiu was stunned. He didn’t know why Ji Xinglan came back, so he quickly sent Ji Xinglan a signal with his eyes, urging him to leave. As if he did not see his message, he made a beeline toward Yan Qiu.
“Mr. Yang.” Ji Xinglan even greeted Old Yang!
“Young Master Ji.” Mr. Yang clearly knew Ji Xinglan. “Why aren’t you back? It’s already so late at night.”
Ji Xinglan replied politely, “I came here to look for Xiao Qiu.”
Mr. Yang looked at the omega by his side and nodded, coming to a sudden realization.
It was only then that he understood. Young Master Ji had come to greet him a few days ago and asked him to take care of an omega who was his distant cousin. Xiao Qiu was that distant cousin. Since the son of Field Marshal Ji asked him for a favor, he dared not be inattentive to his request.
Mr. Yang measured Yan Qiu once more. As expected of a cousin who shared the same blood as Young Master Ji. Xiao Qiu, too, looked very good.
But at the same time, his heart thumped heavily against his chest. Just who would have the guts to molest Young Master Ji’s younger brother?
Mr. Yang didn’t manage to see the person clearly just now, but he obviously wouldn’t suspect that Ji Xinglan would be that person. Young Master Ji wouldn’t do that sort of play with someone else sneakily in a dark corner. If he wanted to, he would definitely bring the other person home in broad daylight and play out whatever scenes he wanted with his partner.
Yan Qiu, whom Ji Xinglan brought back every single day to “play out whatever scenes he wanted” with, glared at him secretly. ‘If I knew that Ji Xinglan was so close to Mr. Yang, I wouldn’t have run!’
However, Ji Xinglan didn’t mind. He merely thought that this was very fun and exciting, as if they truly had an affair.
Yan Qiu found himself speechless.
‘Oh, fine. We just have another secret that we can’t tell to other people. That’s all.’
They bade farewell to Mr. Yang, and Yan Qiu walked together with Ji Xinglan on the road.
Once they were completely out of Old Yang’s sight, Ji Xinglan reached out and placed his hand on Yan Qiu’s shoulder before he whispered, “We aren’t done for the day yet. Which random alpha are you seeing? Tell me.”
Ji Xinglan looked as if he was trying to garner proof of Yan Qiu cheating, so he glared at Ji Xinglan in displeasure.
Xie Yu’s background might not compare to Ji Xinglan’s, but no matter what, he was a lovely gentleman. He wasn’t some “random alpha” like Ji Xinglan mentioned.
“At the very least, while our marriage lasts, you can only belong to me.” Ji Xinglan might seem like an elegant and graceful person, but in truth, he was incredibly domineering.

“You’re unreasonable,” Yan Qiu said. This rule wasn’t written in their marriage agreement at all.

Yan Qiu continued nodding.
Ji Xinglan said with satisfaction, “Then what else could you be, aside from being mine?”
Yan Qiu cast Ji Xinglan a glance. ‘This cunning bastard.’
Since Yan Qiu did something pretty bad to Ji Xinglan just now, he was in the wrong, which was why he didn’t continue to argue with him.
When they reached the school gate, school had ended for a long time. The students staying in the dorms at school were conducting self-study sessions in the classrooms. The students who chose not to stay at school had returned home a long time ago. The roads in the school were empty. No one walked on them. Only a security guard could be found eating his food in the guardhouse. Even when he saw them walk out, he didn’t stop them.
Eventually, Yan Qiu no longer needed to hide as he walked together with Ji Xinglan. They walked out of the school gate side by side.
Ji Xinglan had his car parked at a junction that was rather far away. They only reached it after walking for five minutes.
The streetlights on the road were very bright. Yan Qiu immediately saw the shining Maybach parked underneath the streetlight and opened the door, sitting inside.
“It’s your fault for going absolutely bonkers. We were nearly caught by Mr. Yang.” Once Ji Xinglan got into the car, Yan Qiu couldn’t resist grumbling at him while fastening his seatbelt.
He had run into all sorts of weird things today.
“Did he cause trouble for you?” Ji Xinglan asked.
Yan Qiu touched his nose in guilt and said falteringly, “Not really.”
“If Mr. Yang insists on demanding an answer from you, you can just say that you’re dating me.” Ji Xinglan held the steering wheel and kept his eyes trained on the road ahead. He looked as if he wasn’t treating this as anything important.
Yan Qiu suddenly found that he was too stupid. If Mr. Yang found that Ji Xinglan was the one who wanted to do indecent things with Yan Qiu, he wouldn’t be able to say much.
Yan Qiu placed the back of his hand against his forehead and peered at the streetlights beyond the window. “It’s fine, I managed to fool him.”
Ji Xinglan continued the conversation calmly. “That’s good then. Honestly, it’s fine even if they know. They wouldn’t dare to spread lies about it.”
“Don’t. Aren’t you underestimating the gossiping capabilities of the people at school?” Yan Qiu shook his head. “Let me make this clear. While we’re married, I won’t date anyone else, but don’t try to grope me while we’re in school. Also, don’t let anyone know that we’re married. This was what we agreed upon. Mr. Ji, your words bear great weight. Don’t go back on your promise now.”
Ji Xinglan cast him a glance through the rearview mirror, but he still looked down and said coolly, “Okay.”

They were delayed for far too long after school today, and when they got back home, it was already almost seven in the evening. The food prepared in the house was almost cold. The chef reheated their food and brought it to the table.
Yan Qiu had gone through too much shock today and he didn’t have an appetite. He only took a few bites before he left the table.
After he had his dinner, Yan Qiu went back to his room, turned on his terminal, laid on his bed, and started playing on the device.
He chatted a little with Xie Yu before he went to the school forum, which he had not logged into for a long while. He wanted to see what sort of gossip there was today.
Yan Qiu was a forum administrator who had the supreme authority of deleting threads. During the early days when Ji Xinglan had first begun to school, the girls in the forum would spam posts about him, posting multiple threads in one day to praise Ji Xinglan. Those threads were all deleted by Yan Qiu, and he merged all of them into Ji Xinglan’s dedicated thread.
Yan Qiu logged into his account and just as he expected, he saw a few threads praising Ji Xinglan on the home page. One of them was a thread that was posted recently, just this afternoon. It had already been bumped up to a hot topic.
[Hot] I heard that School Idol Ji has a partner, and she’s from our school!
1st reply (1R): Ji Xinglan has a partner? Is that true? Hasn’t he always been single?
3R: What happened? Is there anyone who will tell me what happened?
5R: It’s fake. Big Brother Ji is already laying in my bed, thank you very much. The stamina of the military students is really good, you know. I can’t walk anymore. >///<
8R: 5R, Ji Xinglan had to comfort me for an entire night because of what you said, hmph.
9R: Is it because of what happened during the football match? We’re talking about School Idol Ji tossing his jacket to an omega after his football game, right?
11R: …What the heck.
13R: Damn it. My boyfriend will also toss his jacket to me when he’s doing sports…
16R: Then this case has some semblance of truth, right?
19R: Seriously? Who’s the omega? I’ll get all of her information in three minutes!
21R: I was there, but before I could see her clearly, she ran off. (Shrugs.jpg)
25R: It’s not “her”. Based on what my bestie said, he should be a male omega.
27R: A boy?! I’m so curious, damn it!!!!!!
122R: Stop guessing. Let me tell you this secretly, School Idol Ji is me, Su Cuihua!

When Yan Qiu read the thread, he frowned. If they managed to deduce something from their discussion, things will be bad.
Thus, he decided to be ruthless and exercise his authority for his personal interests. He used his right as an administrator to delete the thread.
1,337R[Admin]: This thread is suspected to be spreading rumors and has been deleted. Thread poster [Nicknamed ‘99], please handle this matter.
Yan Qiu then loitered around the forum for a while longer, only to find that most of them were about unimportant things. Among them were various gossips about Person A and Person B being in a relationship. He wasn’t a girl, and he wasn’t interested in these things. After reading those threads for a while, he found them to be meaningless. Just as Yan Qiu plugged his terminal to a charger and prepared to sleep for a little while, he suddenly heard someone knock on the door.
“Come in.”
The person who came in was Ji Xinglan, and he held a bowl of bird’s nest soup in his hands. He placed it at Yan Qiu’s bedside.
“You seem to have eaten very little.”
Yan Qiu propped himself up with his arms and sat down cross-legged at the edge of the bed. He picked up the spoon. The porcelain bowl had exquisite drawings of flowers on it, and in it was a bird’s nest cooked in rock sugar. It even had a few goji berries in it. The temperature was just right and when he tasted it, it was sweet and really refreshing.
Ji Xinglan sat by the side and watched him drink before he reached out and gently touched the hem of Yan Qiu’s shirt.
Yan Qiu was already used to his tiny little acts of intimacy. He didn’t push him away, only drinking half of the bird’s nest before he wiped the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he remembered something.
“How far along am I now?”
Ji Xinglan cast him a glance. After thinking it over for some time, he said, “It’s been less than a month. We can’t really tell right now.”
Yan Qiu nodded. He counted with his fingers. He still needed to do this for eight more months. Immediately, he found life to be meaningless, and his head fell against the pillow.
Being an omega was too hard.
He finished the bird’s nest and Ji Xinglan forced Yan Qiu to bathe so that he could get rid of the smell of pheromones on his body. Then, he sucked in a deep breath at his neck. Immediately after, he brought out a new collar seemingly out of nowhere.
“What is this?”
Yan Qiu couldn’t figure out what it was, but he still obediently allowed Ji Xinglan to put the collar around him.
The new collar appeared to be even more high-class than the previous one. It shone with a metallic light, and when it was placed against his fair neck, it looked extremely beautiful. Nonetheless, when Yan Qiu looked into the mirror, he couldn’t puzzle out how he should open this new collar, no matter how he tried.
Using his hands to tug at the collar, he looked up and asked Ji Xinglan, “How am I supposed to open this collar?”
Ji Xinglan smiled, as if he had a secret. Yan Qiu instinctively noticed that something bad happened.
“This collar has a password lock. Only I can remove it.”
‘What…?’
Yan Qiu glared at him. Just as he was about to scream, Ji Xinglan suddenly held him, and they fell together to the side, onto the soft bed. His refreshing fragrance covered his body again.
“I’ll sleep in your room tonight.”
Ji Xinglan turned off the lights and kissed the spot on the collar that covered Yan Qiu’s scent gland, located at his nape. Immediately, Yan Qiu no longer dared to move.
Yan Qiu’s breath was very light in the darkness. Ji Xinglan held Yan Qiu, who pretended to be unconscious, and caressed the collar on his neck before he nibbled his ear.
“…Don’t let anyone touch you. If I smell another alpha’s scent on you again, I’m seriously going to punish you.”
Kyaaa!!~~ Also, Yan Qiu is pretty dumb and I’m lisses 😐
Lol Yan Qiu you silly boy 🤭
Thank you for the chapter ❤
Omg Ji xinglan is going to find Yan qiu’s former terminal and shiit~ that’s the last nail in his coffin~
Thanks for the update
Yan Qiu has no brains, huh 😅
Thanks for the chapter!
Although vinegar is delicious, I refuse to eat this. The vinegar is too much for me to bear with. Gee, wonder when will the cat is out from the bag. Thanks for the chapter~
Jealous hubby is the best.
Thanks for translating this!
Such sweet developments x3 But remember, irl, Xinglan is what you call a manipulative and abusive spouse. Should little flowers meet this kind of fine devil, RUN. It’s only okay in fiction novels. Irl, you could be killed in the end..or lose your self worth as a person.
+1
👏👏👏👏
yes! thank you for the reminder! don’t romantize this in rl :”)
Huhuhu baby he’s not gonna let you go.
Thanks for the great translation ♥️
ML if you want to keep your baby then you better start making some shake-in-bake.
MC if you want to get away then try to pull some strings and fake your death, get a new identity, and NEVER LOOK BACK. Don’t even stop running because the moment you do the wolf will catch you.
Haha the translator’s profile pic about summed up what my reaction was to that last bit.
Thank you for your hard work!!
JXL just be honest. Just tell YQ you like him.
Awo °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
I’m still eagerly waiting for the《☆FLUFFF☆》☺
Thank you for translating 💐🙇♀️💕
I’ve been reading too many stories of crazy alphas. I want fluff!
Like Gu Yesheng from OIAA 😍
I’ve seriously got bored with calculating mcs, so I love this silly little lemon too much! My little Calamansi!
Thanks for the chapter! 😊😍
So jelly. 😅😅😅 Thanks
I dunno but ml gives me red flag vibes and I don’t like it
Mc seems weak when it comes to ml hmm 😔😔😔 ml seems too controlling but considering he’s an alpha it’s understandable but red flags man… If mc continues to be weak and helpless, ml or someone else will be able to take advantage of him. Ml’s been too forceful as shown.
I don’t really like the ML so i’m out
Translator-kun your name and picture are so cute I wanna buy it😣
What if he sees his account logged in? Then he would know that’s it’s him for sure right?
ML , this b**tch…
