Chapter 88: Only Able to Watch

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Karai

The cake shop wasn’t too far from the hotel. Duan Yizhou didn’t do anything in the car except hold Luo Songran quietly in his arms. After all, the bodyguards were also in the car, and it would be hard to explain any commotion.

Luo Songran thought that this trick didn’t work on Duan Yizhou anymore. The man just pinched his acupuncture point and didn’t speak anymore, holding him silently all the way.

He thought to himself, could it be that he had lost all his appeal to Duan Yizhou?! 

Come to think of it, before getting pregnant, he could easily provoke a change in Duan Yizhou’s expression by casually showing some skin, but now it didn’t work at all. His pregnant belly was so big that even a hoodie could barely cover it. If a few more months passed, his belly would turn into a big balloon, and he might become as round as a ball by then.

The more he thought, the more depressed he became, burying his face in Duan Yizhou’s shoulder and crying sadly.

Originally, he wasn’t someone who cried easily, but after getting pregnant, his tearfulness became exceptionally low, so low that he cried at the drop of a hat. The sound of sobbing filled the car, overpowering even the noise of the wheels rubbing against the ground.

The bodyguards up front: Oh no.

Anyway, they couldn’t bear to see someone cry, but they didn’t know if their boss would.

Seeing that they were about to reach the hotel, Duan Yizhou lowered his head and glanced at Luo Songran, who was crying into his shoulder, raising an eyebrow. “Real tears or fake tears?”

As soon as he said this, Luo Songran cried even louder.

Duan Yizhou couldn’t help but smile wryly. In the past two months, the thing he was best at was using this trick to try to counteract Luo Songran’s antics. However, this time was a bit different from before, perhaps because of the pregnancy, which made this guy even more delicate.

Soon, they arrived at the hotel.

“Boss, we’ve arrived.”

“Mm.” Duan Yizhou knew they had arrived at the hotel, but he didn’t move. Instead, he reached out and rubbed the back of Luo Songran’s neck, like petting a cat. “Baby, do you want me to carry you?”

Hearing Duan Yizhou calling him “baby” like this, Luo Songran lifted his head, tears in his eyes as he looked at him. “Since you’re calling me baby, does that mean you’re not angry anymore?”

Duan Yizhou smiled without saying a word. He decided not to answer for now, lest this guy squat at the hotel entrance and refuse to go in later. This kind of thing had happened before.

Some time ago, just because he didn’t let him eat snail noodles, they passed by a snail noodle shop and looked at it for a long time, but since he knew he couldn’t eat it, they left. Then, he wouldn’t sleep all night, crying, and the reason for crying was blaming himself for not firmly stopping and going in to eat a bowl.

No matter how he coaxed, it was no use. He said even cooking a bowl of snail noodles wouldn’t work; he wanted to eat from that shop. But it was already past three in the morning, and the shop had long been closed. Where could they buy it? He promised to take him there tomorrow.

As a result, the next day, when they went to that shop, the snail noodle shop happened to be closed for a break, and this little guy just sat on the roadside, refusing to leave, saying he must not like him anymore.

In these five months of pregnancy, the most frequent thing he did was to act spoiled, which was really unstoppable.

Mainly, his energy was too strong.

It seemed like he needed to find a way to let him vent and relieve his emotions.

Seeing that Duan Yizhou didn’t answer, Luo Songran thought he had forgiven himself. He began to mutter in his heart. Since he forgave him, he must be angry now. He hadn’t settled the matter of being called fat this morning, nor had he settled the matter of being scolded so harshly in front of the manager earlier.

One thing leads to another. If he didn’t get acupuncture just now, then forget it, but now it’s his turn.

Back at the hotel, they took the elevator, and the walls of the elevator reflected the two holding hands.

Duan Yizhou glanced at Luo Songran, who was surprisingly obedient when being led by him. He asked, “What are you thinking?”

“Hmph.”

Duan Yizhou: “?”

“I’m angry now, so you better not provoke me.” 

Duan Yizhou was speechless. This guy started to get angry even before he began to criticize his behavior?

“Since this morning, you’ve been making me angry. You called me a little fat pig and didn’t even give me food. Then, when I woke up, I couldn’t see you around. All you do is work, work, work all day, and just now, you were so fierce to me in front of others. You’ve changed; you just don’t like me anymore.”

The elevator doors opened, and Luo Songran walked out first with firm steps. The figure was confidently upright.

Behind him, Duan Yizhou couldn’t help but laugh. He followed, “Luo Songran, could you be a bit reasonable? Whose fault is this?”

“It’s your fault. If you didn’t go to the meeting and stayed with me, would I run away? No way.” Luo Songran stood in front of his own door, patting his pocket. It seemed like he didn’t have his room key. He looked up at Duan Yizhou and raised his chin slightly. “Open the door.”

The pregnant spouse in front of the hotel room door was like a proud swan, lifting their gaze slightly to command him.

This inexplicably added some strangeness to Duan Yizhou’s heart. Most of this pregnant spouse’s temper was probably indulged by him, especially after getting pregnant. He had asked Chu Beiheng if this guy was like this at home, and the answer he got was that he wasn’t as delicate in front of him.

If he chose to compromise again this time, then these situations that made him worry would happen over and over again.

Duan Yizhou’s gaze fell on the back of Luo Songran’s neck, discreetly shifting his gaze away, then took out the room card from his pocket and approached the sensor.

With a ‘beep’, the door lock clicked open.

Seeing Duan Yizhou take the room card from his hand and enter the room first, pulling the heavy curtains, Luo Songran inserted the card into the slot, and in an instant, the hotel room was lit up, and the lights came on.

But in the next second, he felt a warmth pressing against his back, and a strong, firm arm wrapped around his shoulder, encircling him from behind in a way that was hard to break free from, pulling him into a broad embrace.

Immediately after, with a ‘click’, the newly lit room lights were extinguished, and the room dimmed. The only light inside was the faint light seeping through the curtains, making the atmosphere somewhat subtle.

The light was turned off.

Luo Songran stiffened at the back, feeling the warm breath on his neck. He nervously swallowed, “Duan Yizhou, what are you doing? Let’s talk properly.”

As he spoke, he tried to struggle a bit.

“If you move again?” Duan Yizhou’s low, hoarse voice sounded by his ear, carrying a dangerous undertone, rendering the dim room with a subtle sense of danger.

Sensing that something was off with Duan Yizhou, what did this man want to do? Threaten him? Or was he preparing to scare him? Ha, he wasn’t the kind of person who could be easily frightened.

See, as he said, Duan Yizhou has changed. He directly turned around, confronting Duan Yizhou face to face, lifting his chin with a hmph, “I’ll move, what about it?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Duan Yizhou picked him up, startling him into a cry.

“Since you’re not obedient, then I’ll have to teach you a lesson.” Duan Yizhou carried Luo Songran horizontally into the bedroom, kicking the door closed with his foot.

With a ‘bang’, the door closed, and Luo Songran’s lower back tensed.

“Wait, wait—what do you mean I’m not obedient? Didn’t I apologize just now, it’s you who didn’t accept it!!!” 

Duan Yizhou put him on the bed, standing at the edge of the bed, lowering his eyes to unbutton his cuffs. The light was dim, but he could still clearly see the tall alpha in front of him carelessly unbuttoning his cuffs. The exposed forearm could vaguely feel the overflow of hormones.

The hand then casually tugged at the collar, tugging at the jawline and Adam’s apple.

From Luo Songran’s perspective, Duan Yizhou’s movements were simply irresistibly sexy. His gaze followed Duan Yizhou’s movements inch by inch, making him salivate with desire.

“Am I good-looking, or is that man good-looking?” Duan Yizhou asked indifferently, his hand unbuttoning the shirt.

Luo Songran remained seated without moving, staring at Duan Yizhou’s hand. As the shirt gradually opened with each button, revealing the powerful and hormone-filled abdominal muscles, he felt his eyes widen.

If it weren’t for the sake of his image, he would be drooling.

It seemed like it had been a long time since he had touched Duan Yizhou. He had been pregnant for five months now, watching the tall and handsome Duan Yizhou swagger in front of him every day, unable to reach or taste, which was tormenting. Now, just by taking off his shirt, he was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.

So, this question almost blurted out of his mouth.

“You’re good-looking.” He didn’t even consider which man Duan Yizhou was referring to. In his eyes, Duan Yizhou’s physique was unmatched. Tall, muscular, and strong, with good stamina.

“Is my physique good, or is that man’s physique good?”

“Yours is good~”

After Luo Songran finished speaking, he saw that Duan Yizhou didn’t continue unbuttoning his shirt, leaving three buttons undone, and the shirt was half open like that. He frowned, moved forward, and reached out towards the shirt.

But before this dirty hand could touch, Duan Yizhou intercepted it.

“What are you doing?” Duan Yizhou bent down and asked.

Luo Songran raised his head, meeting Duan Yizhou’s gaze under the golden-rimmed glasses, unable to discern any emotion, and grinned slyly, reaching out his hand again.

“Seeing your abs, aren’t I?”

“Did you see my abs?”

“I did.”

“Do you want to touch them?”

“I do, I do, I do!”

“Do you want me to hold you?”

Luo Songran sat on the edge of the bed, watching Duan Yizhou bend down, casually asking by his cheek, his voice low, sexy, and seductive, stirring up his unsettled mind. His eyes flickered slightly. Hearing such a question naturally made him itch with desire. But he seemed to understand why Duan Yizhou was asking like this; this was clearly a threat!

This man asked him so many teasing questions but didn’t give him any, just because he didn’t listen earlier.

“Honey, I know I was wrong~~~” Luo Songran clasped his hands together, pleadingly looking at him with furrowed brows. “I won’t run around like that anymore, I won’t eat ice cream randomly, won’t dodge the bodyguards randomly either. Just hold me, please, I really want it.”

“No.”

Hearing Duan Yizhou’s decisive answer, Luo Songran felt as if the sky was falling. Tears welled up in his eyes, on the verge of falling. “Then what do you want me to do…”

“Every time you do this, every time you apologize and forget.” Duan Yizhou straightened up.

Seeing him stand up, Luo Songran hurriedly hugged his waist, lifted his head to rest his chin on his waist, blinked, and said, “I promise this time! I won’t scare you like this again, won’t eat secretly again!”

“Also, why did you let him touch your face in the cake shop?”

“I didn’t, it’s just that the cream got on my face, and I couldn’t wipe it off myself, so he wiped it for me with a tissue.”

“Don’t do this in the future, don’t always rely on others to take care of you. Except for me and your family, you can rely on me, no one else, because no one will be unconditionally kind to you, do you understand?”

Luo Songran nodded quickly, looking as obedient as possible. “I understand.”

“Do you really want it?” Duan Yizhou asked again.

Luo Songran nodded vigorously once again, even his expression was forceful. “Yes yes yes!”

“Sit properly,” Duan Yizhou said softly.

Luo Songran immediately sat properly, hands on his knees, staring intently at Duan Yizhou in front of him.

“From now on, as long as you can resist getting close to me, I’ll give it to you.” Duan Yizhou continued to unbutton his shirt, his movements continuing.

This visual impact was infinitely magnified with deliberate slow movements.

Luo Songran took a deep breath, swallowed nervously, and tightly closed his mouth to prevent his saliva from dripping. He stared at Duan Yizhou’s clothes disappearing one by one until only a pair of black boxers remained.

Just as he was about to ask if it was okay, he saw Duan Yizhou walking straight to the bathroom.

The room was not lit, but when the bathroom light turned on, he realized that the bathroom glass was fully transparent. Right next to his bed, he could clearly see inside the bathroom, including where Duan Yizhou stood.

Duan Yizhou stood in front of the shower, turned on the faucet, and closed his eyes to wet himself.

The tall alpha’s body was fully displayed behind the glass door, his posture of raising his head and wetting his hair with water, revealing his handsome face covered with water droplets.

The muscles of his arms were also flexing with every movement, even the water droplets seemed to take extra care as they outlined every beautiful muscle before slowly sliding down.

Undoubtedly, this kind of seeing but not touching was the most torturous.

At that moment, Luo Songran’s mindset collapsed, and he fell onto the bed, pounding the bed and crying out.

“Ah! Can’t you just let me go! Don’t torture me like this, wuu wuu wuu… I know I was wrong, wuu wuu wuu, I won’t eat ice cream, cakes, or snails again, can’t you… Duan Yizhou!!! If you don’t hold me again, I’ll get angry!!”

Just being able to see but not touch was the worst wuu wuu wuu.
