After returning home, as soon as Duan Yizhou parked the car and got out, Luo Songran jumped directly onto his back from behind, hugging him tightly, “Daddy, carry me inside.”
Duan Yizhou was about to say something but was silenced by the word “daddy”. He reached out his arm to support the little one behind him, exerted some force, and brought the person to the front, switching to a princess carry.
Before Luo Songran could react, he was already lifted by Duan Yizhou. Meeting Duan Yizhou’s stern gaze, he swallowed nervously, “Why are you looking at me like that? Won’t you carry me?”
“Can you be carried with your belly sticking out?” Duan Yizhou remained calm, not wanting to sound too harsh. He carried the person towards the elevator. “No carrying, no jumping, just walk properly.”
“Then just hold me.” Luo Songran wrapped his arms around Duan Yizhou’s neck. Seeing that he still looked a bit fierce, Luo Songran reached out and pinched his face. “Don’t be so serious. I’ll remember next time. Don’t be angry; it’ll make you look old.”
“I’m not angry, I’m just worried about you.”
After the elevator door closed, it slowly ascended to the fourth floor.
“Am I always making you angry?” Luo Songran began to recall his previous behavior. Indeed, he was too naughty. During this period, there was hardly a time when Duan Yizhou wasn’t angry with him. He started to feel ashamed, saying, “Ah, I’m really bad.”
Duan Yizhou looked down at the little one in his arms. Seeing his serious expression, he didn’t know if it was his perverse taste, but although he should prefer how well-behaved he is now, he seems to enjoy it more when this guy throws tantrums and cries.
He just loves seeing this guy cry.
“Yeah, you are indeed naughty. I wonder if my parents will like you.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Songran suddenly looked up, staring at Duan Yizhou in disbelief. “Huh? What if they don’t like me? If you pass my dad’s test but I can’t pass your parents’ test, then… then… will we have to divorce?”
“It’s hard to say,” Duan Yizhou said seriously.
Luo Songran’s expression immediately turned serious. “Then what kind of person do your parents like? Gentle?”
“Yeah, they do like gentleness.”
Luo Songran heard ‘like’, so he tentatively asked, “Do they also like someone obedient?”
“Yeah, obedience is also required. After all, a CEO husband often attends many events with the CEO.”
“They won’t also want an omega, right?” Suddenly, Luo Songran thought of this possibility. Although there are sex inducers now, some elders still don’t accept them, believing that alphas and omegas are the most compatible.
“It’s hard to say.”
The elevator door opened, and Duan Yizhou carried him out, heading towards the bedroom.
“Then I have nothing.” Luo Songran sighed with sorrow, furrowing his brows. “Not gentle, not obedient, not even an omega. Why do you like me?”
“Yeah, why do I like you?” Duan Yizhou walked into the bedroom, placing him on the sofa, then stood in front of him, unbuttoning his shirt collar and slowly undoing the buttons.
Luo Songran sat on the sofa, watching Duan Yizhou’s casual movements. His heart felt itchy. But after hearing Duan Yizhou’s words, he suddenly felt sad. “So, I’m not your type after all.”
“No, you’re not.”
Luo Songran immediately became annoyed. He lifted his foot and stepped on Duan Yizhou’s thigh, then slowly moved towards the center. “I don’t care. We’re married, and we have two babies. Even if I’m not your type, I’ll just have to endure it! Don’t think about abandoning me halfway!”
Duan Yizhou laughed. He held the little one’s misbehaving foot. “I’ve never thought about my type. I don’t know if the other person will be an omega, beta, or alpha. I don’t know why I like you, but now I just do. I love you very much.”
With that, he sat on the sofa. He now thoroughly enjoyed Luo Songran’s willingness to express his feelings and throw tantrums. This was the sense of security he wanted. Asking whether the other person loves you or not is the most beautiful question in love. If they love you, they’ll say it without reservation.
Seeing Duan Yizhou about to sit down, Luo Songran suddenly felt moved. Looking into the man’s affectionate eyes, he felt surrounded by sincere and passionate love, the kind of love that Duan Yizhou couldn’t resist.
He had always thought there was nothing wrong with his ways, even squandering others’ affection for him, whether they liked him or his power, always playing in a somewhat unfair and self-righteous way.
That included how he treated Duan Yizhou at the beginning.
In fact, he had never seriously liked anyone before, never understood what it felt like to like someone. His concept of liking someone was shallow, like if the other person was good-looking or had a good figure, or if they were accommodating to him, taking advantage of his advantageous position without considering others’ feelings.
But from the moment he met Duan Yizhou until now, over four months, he knew he had been unreasonable and wayward. But Duan Yizhou never criticized his character and behavior. Instead, he patiently waited for him time and time again.
During the week without Duan Yizhou, he became unaccustomed, which made him realize that he would never encounter anyone like Duan Yizhou again—someone who would tolerate him, cherish him, and be willing to wait for him despite having no blood relationship.
It was Duan Yizhou who taught him how to love someone openly and generously.
He wanted to respond to Duan Yizhou more passionately.
“I am too, but you taught me.” Luo Songran lowered his head and kissed Duan Yizhou’s nose. “I know that besides my family, there will never be anyone else in this world who will tolerate me and love me as deeply as you do.”
Sitting face to face on the sofa, they looked into each other’s eyes, expressing their love in their favorite way—embracing each other.
Duan Yizhou held his waist, and the soft kisses on his nose sent ripples through Luo Songran’s heart. He smiled. “Yes, the young can teach the old. Luo Songran, you’ve made progress.”
“That’s because Professor Duan taught well.” Luo Songran hugged Duan Yizhou’s neck tightly, suddenly feeling moved, his eyes reddening. “I really like you, really really like you. I know I was wrong.”
He regretted how he had treated Duan Yizhou.
“It’s okay, there’s still time.” Duan Yizhou patted his head to comfort him. After all, he was only twenty. Life was just beginning. Although this little guy was luckier than anyone else at twenty, behind this luck brought him invisible pressure and sensitivity. Otherwise, why would he be so afraid after knowing he loved him? He could have completely ignored him, being indifferent and unfeeling.
But he didn’t.
So all the shortcomings of this little guy were things he could tolerate and patiently coax. In his eyes, although he could be annoying at times, he was still cute overall. It was because this guy could change his ways, even if he made mistakes quickly. In the end, no matter what Luo Songran did, in his eyes, this person was special because he was the first person to make him fall in love and willingly give all his affection.
So admitting that he had fallen in love with him wasn’t a burden.
“Can you believe that I really like you this time?” Luo Songran asked, still feeling a bit worried. He still needed to do something to reassure Duan Yizhou.
“I guess I can.”
“Hmm?” Luo Songran’s expression was subtle as he heard Duan Yizhou’s words.
“You know I’m a very devoted person. Now that you’re my lover, while I give you enough security, you also need to give me enough security.”
Luo Songran tilted his head. “Such as?”
In the living room, the two embraced warmly on the sofa, doing what ordinary lovers liked to do—being close to each other.
“Such as that person called He Yu. If he likes you, you need to keep your distance from him.” Duan Yizhou leaned back, making the person in his arms more comfortable to sit, and his hand gently squeezed his waist.
Luo Songran immediately understood Duan Yizhou’s meaning and took out his phone. “I’ll delete him right now!”
“That’s not what I mean.” Duan Yizhou pressed his hand down and smiled. “Deleting contact information won’t stop someone who likes you from wanting to get close to you.”
“What do you think is the best way, then?” Luo Songran listened seriously.
Seeing the person in his arms suddenly listening to him so seriously, Duan Yizhou felt a sense of adorableness. Unable to resist, he kissed him on the cheek. “As long as you tell him in action that you belong to an alpha, if he’s sensible, he’ll back off. I don’t think he’ll joke about his own future. And say the same to anyone who wants to get close to you. Don’t encourage them.”
“I’ve told him that.” Luo Songran said, a little annoyed. “I was furious when I found out he registered my code with his. I told him my alpha is not someone to mess with.”
Raised eyebrows, Duan Yizhou asked, “Did you really say that to him?”
Luo Songran lowered his head in embarrassment, fiddling with Duan Yizhou’s shirt buttons. “It just slipped out. I wanted to scare him.”
“Yeah, that’s how you should say it. Your alpha can indeed scare people.” Duan Yizhou’s eyes twinkled with amusement, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Perhaps Luo Songran didn’t not love him as he had imagined, he just didn’t realize that this was love. “From now on, you have to do this, and you have to be like this yourself.”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t smile casually at alphas or omegas.”
“Have I ever smiled casually at them? Am I that kind of person?”
“You’re not, but they might have ulterior motives towards you.”
“Alright, I admit that.” Luo Songran said truthfully. “I admit that I used to like to play around, with both alphas and omegas. But now I promise, except for normal social interactions, there won’t be any ambiguous relationships. That’s not right!”
With a serious expression, he raised his hand to swear.
In Duan Yizhou’s eyes, this kind of Luo Songran was incredibly cute. He couldn’t help but rub the little one into his arms and kissed him on the cheek. “I believe you.”
Perhaps people always have an irresistible liking for things smaller than themselves, especially beautiful and cute things, and Duan Yizhou was no exception when it came to Luo Songran. In front of him, this guy was someone he could easily pick up and hug, someone he wanted to keep hugging and kissing.
Because he was cute, delicate, and very lovable.
Luo Songran felt sticky from Duan Yizhou’s kisses and couldn’t stand it. He raised his hand to block, and finally exclaimed in annoyance, “Alright, that’s enough. You’ve kissed me so much that your saliva is all over me.”
“I couldn’t help it.” Duan Yizhou whispered in his ear, his voice low and smiling. “Because you’re too cute, baby.”
Perhaps due to their overwhelming affection, it was easy to get carried away with kissing.
So on the sofa, at the last moment, Duan Yizhou abruptly stopped.
With wet eyes and a hint of redness at the corners, Luo Songran felt a bit lost as he saw Duan Yizhou leave his lips. “Why did you stop? Didn’t you say you wanted to give it to me?”
“You’re pregnant.” Duan Yizhou regretted his almost losing control behavior just now, rubbing his head. “Let’s hold off for now.”
Luo Songran wanted to curse but stopped. “…This fire wasn’t started by me!” After speaking, he muttered grievances and glared at Duan Yizhou.
“I was wrong.” Duan Yizhou held Luo Songran’s buttocks, then stood up and walked upstairs. “Do you want a massage after you shower?”
“No! I want it now!” The words ‘I want it’ echoed in the huge house, making the listener feel a bit dry-mouthed, while the speaker was fearless.
“Wait until the babies are born.”
“No way!”
“You really can’t, especially since you’re in the early stages of pregnancy. It’s too dangerous.”
“It’s because you provoked me first!”
“Use your hands.”
Luo Songran raised an eyebrow. “Then it’ll have to be a long wait. You’ll have to wait as long as your hands can last.”
Looking down at the young man in his arms, Duan Yizhou felt helpless yet indulgent at his straightforwardness. He chuckled. “Alright.”
This was the right kind of love—full of arguments, bickering, crying, and laughing.
But it was also what made them feel incredibly happy and look forward to the future.
