The penthouse apartment where Yang Huaijin resides boasts an expensive rooftop garden, half of which is the original garden of the building, while the other half is the creation of the neighboring elderly artist couple.
The garden is adorned with various strange and exquisite artworks, some of which are quite large while others are delicately small, all nestled among numerous beautiful and precious flowers and trees, showcasing meticulous designs. Yang Huaijin enjoys this garden very much; in his spare time, he often comes here to sit, bringing good tea for his neighbors, occasionally chatting with them. The elderly couple has never inquired about his profession, always treating him with politeness and friendliness, which makes him very comfortable.
However, today the rooftop garden is different from usual. Sitting among the flowers and trees is a tall man whose stern demeanor starkly contrasts with the softness of the surroundings — Ryan Anelli.
While Ryan always maintains a gentle and courteous demeanor when facing Yang Huaijin, he is distant and indifferent toward his other partners and subordinates, speaking very little and always exuding a strong Alpha aura that cannot be ignored. Therefore, Yang Huaijin does not believe that Ryan is a gentle person.
He slowly walked over, “Ryan?”
“Noah!” Ryan was pleasantly surprised. Between his fingers rested a small canary-yellow bird, ‘Anna,’ the cockatoo raised by the artist couple. He had been playing with this little bird between his fingers.
“How come you’re here?”
“I missed you, so I wanted to come and wait for you.”
Yang Huaijin glanced at the small bird between Ryan’s fingers, “Anna is very shy, yet she’s playing with you.”
“So her name is Anna.” Ryan turned his gaze back to the little life in his hand, smiling gently, “Poor little thing, her wings are broken, she can’t fly. I hope she gets better soon. These little parrots are so fragile and cute.”

“I’ll inform the garden staff to take care of it later!”
“No need, Noah, I will take care of it.”
Ryan’s words intensified Yang Huaijin’s uneasy feeling. He pretended everything was normal and said, “Alright, I have some medicine at home, I’ll bring it to you.” With that, he turned and left.
Today, he was just taking a walk in the garden at home and didn’t bring a gun.
“Noah,” Ryan called out to Yang Huaijin, “don’t you want to know how I got in?”
Security in this building was very strict, and the rooftop garden belonged exclusively to a few households. Only owners and friends invited by owners could enter, and Yang Huaijin had not invited Ryan.
Yang Huaijin’s spine stiffened, “Why?”
Ryan stood up and walked behind Yang Huaijin, gently wrapping his hand around the clenched fist of Yang Huaijin’s: “Because I wanted to see you, so I simply moved here.”
“You…” Yang Huaijin turned around in surprise.
“I’m right next door to you. The kind couple who live there were willing to let me have their place,” Ryan smiled. “I really like this garden and Anna.”
“Do you remember I offered to take you home yesterday?” Ryan gently brushed Yang Huaijin’s hair behind his ear. “I said I was really close to your place.”
Yang Huaijin’s expression turned cold, “Ryan, what do you want?”
“I want to protect you.”
Yang Huaijin shook off Ryan’s hand and stepped back, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
The two stood a meter apart in the garden, locking eyes. The tall Alpha had a deeply affectionate expression, while the Omega opposite him clearly lacked any advantage in strength, emanating a sense of vigilance throughout his body.
Ryan looked somewhat hurt, “Noah, are you afraid of me? Did I scare you?”
“I’m sorry, I have no ill intentions,” Ryan bowed slightly. “I’m just very worried about you and I also hope to see you often. I’m pursuing you, aren’t I? Please forgive me for using my influence to live next to you, but I assure you, your kind neighbors won’t have any safety issues.”
“… ”
“Don’t be afraid of me, okay? I’m just a bit anxious because the other day when we climbed the mountain, I saw something—” Ryan approached Yang Huaijin again, lifting one hand and placing his fingertips against the other’s neck, gently pulling aside the collar. “The hickey on your neck is almost gone… it’s such an eyesore.”
Ryan’s tone turned dangerous, “After you agreed to pursue me, you made plans with someone else, didn’t you?”
Yang Huaijin fell silent for a moment, his face cold as he pulled his collar back into place and tidied himself up. He looked at Ryan, neither avoiding nor wavering, his eyes devoid of any ripples. He didn’t want to explain, only stating, “Give me Anna.”
Ryan scrutinized Yang Huaijin, slowly placing the weakly chirping little bird into the other’s palm.
Yang Huaijin carefully protected the bird, no longer evading, and stared coldly at Ryan, saying, “Mr. Ryan Anelli, perhaps I didn’t express myself clearly enough, so let me reiterate now. First of all, I didn’t actively participate in the dance party we first met at, nor do I need to find an Alpha to bond with. If there’s been any misunderstanding caused by the fact that I am an Omega, then we can discuss it now and clear up that misunderstanding. Secondly, we are just business partners at most, maybe ordinary friends, but you have no right to interfere in my life.”
“Lastly, whether it’s our business relationship or emotional connection, it’s only between you and me. I don’t want anyone else to be involved. Renting a house from someone else is not a gentlemanly act. I hope to see my neighbor as soon as possible.” As someone who has been in a position of authority for many years, Yang Huaijin brought out his momentum, even leaving Ryan momentarily stunned – Yang Huaijin was too different from the Omega he had in mind.
“Ryan, don’t do things that would make me angry. It’s not beneficial for either of us.”
Yang Huaijin turned around, protecting the little bird with both hands, seemingly unconcerned about anything else. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped and turned his head to Ryan behind him. “Since you came for me, don’t disturb my neighbor. The guest room in my house shouldn’t inconvenience Mr. Anelli.”
No! Don’t let this man in your house! Not a single bone in my body trusts him
Yeah, he’s so sus
thanks for the chapter!
