After showering, Luo Songran sat on the toilet wrapped in a large towel. Seeing Duan Yizhou walk in with clothes, he turned away without looking at him. Duan Yizhou saw him starting to sulk again, didn’t say anything, walked over to him, first put the clothes in the cabinet, then took the hairdryer to blow-dry his hair.
“Put some clothes on.” Luo Songran glanced at Duan Yizhou’s close abs, gritted his teeth angrily, couldn’t help but slap his abs, “When did you get this watch? I didn’t know you were so coy.”
Duan Yizhou, caught off guard, took the slap, took a deep breath, endured the slap, continued to blow-dry the little fellow’s hair, “I didn’t buy it, someone else gave it to me.”
“Who would give you something like this? Don’t lie to me.” Luo Songran, feeling dazed from the warm breeze, squinted his eyes, looked up at Duan Yizhou, “Which friend of yours gave you this thing, male or female, alpha, omega, or beta?”
Just after showering, the little beta looked delicate and fair, looking up at him like a proud cat. His hair was still not completely dry, fingers running through the strands making them a bit messy, lifting the hair from his forehead, making him look even younger.
Although he was already quite young to begin with.
Thinking of how this little fellow cried when he bullied him earlier, and now, after crying, he still had the mood to sulk, being young was being young, good physical strength, big temper, and plenty of energy.
Just a bit spoiled.
“It was Felix who gave it to me that day, I thought it was just some kind of watch.”
Luo Songran was shocked, couldn’t help but be amazed, “The dignified prince, actually… hmm… huh~”
Duan Yizhou turned off the hairdryer after blow-drying his hair, just hearing him make those sounds, reached out and pinched his expressive face, then took the clothes from the cabinet above his head and put them on him.
“It’s actually quite handy.”
Luo Songran obediently reached out. He seemed to have forgotten how he cried just now, looked up at Duan Yizhou with a mischievous face, “Will you still play with me after that?”
“Lost it.” Duan Yizhou put on his sweatshirt for him and took the little underwear, “Are you going to wear it yourself or shall I?”
Luo Songran leaned against the toilet like an old man, just sitting there with a smile, shaking his head while looking at him, looking like he didn’t know anything, innocent and useless.
Duan Yizhou sighed slightly, squatted down in front of this little fellow, grasped his slender ankle and put on his little underwear, “I sincerely hope that the children won’t be like you.”
Just as he finished speaking, Luo Songran deliberately closed his legs, not letting him put on the underwear, frowned a bit aggressively, “What’s the matter, what’s wrong with being like me? Not satisfied with me now? I don’t care, you chose me yourself, no returns.”
“I say one sentence, and you say ten.”
“Alright, now you’re complaining about me talking too much. Back then, you weren’t like this. Why don’t you talk to me anymore, suddenly talking less, I’m not used to it, hmm—” Luo Songran hadn’t finished speaking when Duan Yizhou covered his lips with his hand.
After kissing for a dozen seconds, Duan Yizhou let go of this talkative guy, pulled up his pants, “One child like you at home is enough.”
Enough to give him a headache.
In the afternoon, Luo Songran felt drowsy after eating and went to take a nap. While the little fellow was napping, Duan Yizhou put the gift prepared for Grandpa Luo into the trunk. All the other elders of the Luo family had met, except for Luo Songran’s grandfather.
He heard about Grandpa Luo Qingye’s deeds. He was kidnapped from abroad to China when he was young, stayed in an orphanage, and was later sold to the dark industry’s club. He started boxing as a minor to earn a living, and was rescued by Luo Songran’s grandfather, Chu Yiqiao.
Later, he became a great scientist who changed the traditional matching structure of the ABO world, balanced the proportion of ABO populations, increased birth rates in various countries, and allowed beta individuals to no longer be a disadvantaged group, able to compete fairly with alphas and omegas, and also had the right to cultivate high-quality offspring.
He retired at a young age, handing over the Galaxy Group to Luo Songran’s father, Luo Panzhi. After retiring, he enjoyed fishing around the world. It is said that his private fishing grounds are now spread all over the world. It sounded like he should be a relatively easygoing elder, but it was also said that he was very good at boxing.
Duan Yizhou closed the car door in silence, his hands propped on the car body, his face slightly twisted. Why didn’t he agree to see him before? Could it be that he really disagreed with him being with Luo Songran?
If he disagreed, Chu Dong wouldn’t be so satisfied with him. But if he was very satisfied, why wouldn’t he see him now? Luo Songran has been pregnant for five months, he couldn’t just not want to see him, right?
“…”
What should he do if he really didn’t want to? He really couldn’t bear it. The silent Duan Yizhou had begun to think about tonight’s strategy, if Grandpa really didn’t agree, how to deal with it.
In the late afternoon, the rosy light spread gently through the clouds, and the pink-purple sunset kept moving backward as the car drove.
Luo Songran leaned against the car window and yawned lazily, saying, “I’m still so sleepy.”
“Piglet, you’ve slept for three hours.” Duan Yizhou said.
Luo Songran said, “I usually only sleep for an hour, but now that I’m pregnant with two, they also need to nap. Each of them sleeps for an hour, so I’ll sleep with them for three hours, no problem.”
Duan Yizhou nodded seriously, steering the wheel around the roundabout, continuing towards Jiang Tianyi’s direction. “If you’re still sleepy, take another nap, I’ll wake you up later.”
“Aren’t you nervous to meet my grandfather?” Luo Songran felt uncomfortable sitting straight, so he put the chair down and lay comfortably. “Don’t look at my grandfather being sixty-two now, but he’s still very fierce in boxing, even my dad has been beaten by him.”
Duan Yizhou tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his Adam’s apple bobbing, trying to maintain a calm expression. “A little nervous, I guess.”
“It’s you who should be nervous. My grandfather cares a lot about me. I guess he still doesn’t want us to get married. Although we’ve already registered, it doesn’t stop him from disagreeing. Tonight is a crucial moment, Mr. Duan.” Luo Songran smiled and patted Duan Yizhou’s buttocks.
Duan Yizhou, already a bit nervous, felt even more certain of his speculation after Luo Songran’s words. “If that’s true, what will you do?”
“Well,” Luo Songran drawled, pretending to think.
Duan Yizhou’s heart rate accelerated a bit from Luo Songran’s teasing. If Grandpa really disagreed, it would indeed be a bit tricky. “Baby, if there’s any trouble later, you have to stand up for yourself, understand?”
Luo Songran made a sound of acknowledgment. He turned to look at Duan Yizhou, seeing the man seeming a bit nervous, he looked curious. “Are you nervous?”
“Aren’t you? What if Grandpa doesn’t approve of us being together?”
Duan Yizhou began to predict what might happen later, combined with the fact that there had been no invitation from the Luo family to meet him for the past two months. Although CEO Chu and the Papas had met him, there hadn’t been a formal meeting. It felt a bit awkward.
Luo Songran couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you not afraid they won’t let us be together?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Hasn’t my grandfather already met you?” Luo Songran placed his hand on his pregnant belly and rubbed it.
“But it was just your grandfather who met me. Your grandpa hasn’t met me yet, right?” In Duan Yizhou’s concept, Grandpa’s status should be quite high. But he forgot that in the Luo family, the status of betas wasn’t very high.
“As long as my grandfather approves of you, it doesn’t matter if my grandpa disagrees. Because my grandpa is very obedient to my grandfather.” Luo Songran understood his grandpas very well, after all, he had been with them since he was a child. “Later, just give my grandpa some face. Whatever he says, just say yes, yes, that’s it.”
When Duan Yizhou heard the term “obedient to the wife” he remembered. He heard that the Luo family had strict rules, where alphas had to be able to handle both the hall and the kitchen, and the kitchen was off-limits to omegas and even dogs.
What about betas? He glanced at the lazy pig lying beside him. After getting pregnant, the whole person was soft and lazy, never standing when they could sit, never sitting when they could lie down. In the Luo family’s terms, this guy was the smallest, so he probably wouldn’t be allowed in the kitchen, right?
Definitely not.
“Do I need to do anything when I go to your house?” Duan Yizhou thought that since tonight would be a family gathering for the Luo family, and he was also part of the future family, his culinary skills honed for half a year should be able to handle it, right?
“What can you do?” Luo Songran laughed.
“I can cook.”
Luo Songran was speechless. “No need, we have Auntie to cook.”
Although his dad would probably cook for such a family banquet, today was still a formal occasion. It would be better for Duan Yizhou not to take any chances that could be easily caught by Grandpa.
“You said my cooking has greatly improved. Maybe I can make a few dishes for them?” Duan Yizhou said confidently.
Luo Songran thought, ‘Where did your confidence come from?’ Then he realized that he might have given it to him. Seeing Duan Yizhou so eager to cook, he suddenly felt a bit hesitant.
“Maybe not.” He didn’t want to hurt Duan Yizhou’s pride.
“Why? Do you think my cooking isn’t good enough?”
“No, your cooking is very delicious, but there are really many people in our family. You haven’t cooked for so many people before, so you don’t know how much you need, right? And cooking is tiring. I don’t want you to be tired.” Luo Songran said seriously.
Duan Yizhou looked at the lazy little fellow lying next to him in the passenger seat, and hearing these words, he felt touched. Taking care of his husband at ordinary times was infuriating, but at crucial moments, he was still considerate.
“Okay, I’ll save my strength. I’ll practice cooking when we get home.”
Luo Songran nodded. “Right, save your strength. You’ll make a splash next time!”
As if.
Duan Yizhou suddenly felt less nervous, he breathed out slowly and continued to drive the car.
Luo Songran glanced at Duan Yizhou driving and felt that he didn’t seem as nervous as before. He wondered what there was to be nervous about anyway. Regardless of what his family said, he wouldn’t leave Duan Yizhou. People tend to be persistent with the things or people they liked at first sight, like when he first saw Duan Yizhou, the instant attraction was genuine. Later, he found out that when you like someone at first sight, you really can love them for a long time. This man, who had no blood relation to him but loved him unconditionally, was a gift from heaven. No one could stop him from staying with Duan Yizhou. He would never leave Duan Yizhou.
