CH 30

On this day years ago, Chi Le was taken to a dinner party by Chi Jindong.

Chi Jindong kept nagging all the way, “Lele, if you have nothing to do, you should go out and walk more. I heard that many people of your age will participate tonight. You won’t feel bored. You’ll be fine and have fun later.”

Chi Le listened silently, looked out the car window, and did not speak.

Those rich young masters don’t like him, the son of a nouveau riche, at all, and he doesn’t like them either, so he doesn’t bother to socialize at all, but since Chi Jindong let him go, then he will go, lest Chi Jindong will drink too much and no one will take care of them.

If those young masters dared to bully him, he would bully them back at worst.

The private car quickly stopped in front of a brightly lit villa. There were many guests, and the staff hurried over to open the door.

Chi Le got out of the car and looked up, slightly surprised. The villa in front of him was bigger than the ones he had been to before, and there were many people coming, which seemed grand. To get these people to come, today’s dinner should be very important.

Chi Jindong held the invitation card in his hand, and led him in with a happy face, “Today is the 20th wedding anniversary of the Sheng family couple. I heard that they have a very good relationship. Later, you and Dad will give them a gift together.”

“The Sheng family?”

Because Sheng Zhuo’s surname was Sheng, Chi Le’s mood improved a little bit. He didn’t know when, but everything related to Sheng Zhuo would make him feel happy.

“Yes, the Sheng family.” Chi Jindong sighed, “If it was in the past, Dad would not be qualified to attend such a dinner party, but Dad has not worked hard in vain in the past few years, and he has stepped into this circle. Wait for Dad to work harder. In a few years, you won’t have to worry about marrying a wife in the future.”

Chi Le thought to himself, he doesn’t have to worry about finding a wife now, after all, he will soon have a wife!

Soothing music played in the bright hall, people gathered in twos and threes to socialize, and the bright marble floor reflected the reflections of everyone.

Holding a glass of wine in his hand, Sheng Zhuo was leaning in a quiet corner, surrounded by a circle of people, talking in a hurry.

As he leaned against the cold wall, a hint of impatience flashed across his brows. If it was normal, he would have left long ago, but today the party is at the home of the Sheng family, so he can’t leave.

Chi Le stepped into the hall, wearing a white suit with a bow tie neatly on the neckline. At first glance, he looked like a little prince. He attracted the attention of many people when he entered the banquet hall.

Cheng Run, who was leaning next to Sheng Zhuo, also looked up and noticed the attention of everyone around him. He curled his lips in dissatisfaction, “Who is that person?”

He looks outstanding among all the Omegas around him, he is used to being noticed and sought after and hates the feeling of being robbed of this kind of attention.

Sheng Zhuo didn’t notice everyone’s expressions and looked down at the phone. He just sent a message to Chi Le, but he didn’t know what Chi Le was doing, and he didn’t reply until now.

Li Shensi, who stood in front of Cheng Run, stretched his neck to look, and said ‘Oh’: “He is the son of that nouveau riche family, and he looks good, but he is not of the same class as us, so there is no need to make friends.”

When Sheng Zhuo heard the word ‘nouveau riche’, his expression changed slightly, and he looked up towards the door.

Cheng Run curled his lips slightly, and couldn’t help muttering: “What’s the use of a Beta being so good-looking, Sheng Zhuo, you have to stay away from him, this kind of nouveau riche…”

As he spoke, he raised his head but saw Sheng Zhuo staring straight at Chi Le, with a slight arc on his lips.

He was slightly taken aback and opened his mouth. Sheng Zhuo had already put down the wine glass in his hand and walked towards Chi Le who was standing at the door.

“Sheng Zhuo!” Cheng Run yelled hastily, but Sheng Zhuo walked there without looking back, as if something attracted him there.

Unwillingly, Cheng Run stomped his feet and chased after him, and the others followed them.

Chi Jindong met an acquaintance at the door, and Chi Le walked in alone, trying to find a place to sit, when he turned around and was blocked by someone.

He frowned, taking it for granted that someone was deliberately making trouble for him again. Others often made things difficult for him on such occasions before, and he was no stranger to such things.

With a cold face, he raised his head vigilantly and then saw such a big wife appearing in front of him.

His cold expression froze for a moment and turned into astonishment in an instant.

“Why are you here?”

Sheng Zhuo curved his lips and looked at him without saying a word.

Chi Le’s heart tightened, and he unconsciously lowered his voice, “Are you here to work?”

Sheng Zhuo: “…”

Chi Le noticed the suit on his body, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. The clothes on Sheng Zhuo’s body were expensive, and it was not the clothes of the waiter at first glance. Moreover, with a suit of this price, it is reasonable for Sheng Zhuo to work part-time all year round. It is impossible to earn so much.

Suspicions abounded in his heart, and many strange things came to mind in an instant.

Sheng Zhuo never said that his family was short of money.

The reason why he thought it was difficult for Sheng Zhuo’s family was because Sheng Zhuo lived in such an old place and there was a worn basketball, but if he remembered correctly, the old town was behind the new villa area, and the basketball was Fang Younian’s.

Chi Le suddenly felt a little at a loss, feeling that he might have made a lot of mistakes.

Cheng Run walked over behind Sheng Zhuo, looked Chi Le up and down, and snorted displeased: “Where did you come from, come to the Sheng family but don’t know the owner of the family.”

“Young Master Sheng Zhuo from the Sheng family…” Chi Le’s expression changed slightly, he looked up at Sheng Zhuo in disbelief, and said his name word by word, “Sheng, Zhuo.”

Sheng Zhuo hurriedly explained, “Lele, this is indeed my home, but I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”

Cheng Run couldn’t believe his eyes, he actually saw Sheng Zhuo’s expression flustered, speaking softly to the little nouveau riche, even the tone of the explanation was flattering to his ears.

The smug look on his face disappeared instantly and became ugly.

Chi Le suppressed the anger in his heart and turned his head away.

It turned out to be like this.

Fang Younian and Chen Yunzhou must know Sheng Zhuo’s identity, maybe other people know it too, only he doesn’t!

The feeling of being concealed by Sheng Zhuo made him feel a sourness in his heart as if he was an outsider to Sheng Zhuo.

Sheng Zhuo seemed to see through his mind, and quickly said: “If I wanted to hide it, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to come over when I saw you just now.”

Chi Le thought about it too, if Sheng Zhuo wanted to lie to him, he should have avoided him just now.

Thinking about it carefully, Sheng Zhuo never said that his family was in trouble, everything was made up by himself.

Sheng Zhuo can’t tell him, hey, brother, my family is actually richer than yours, right?

The blame can only land on him for not asking clearly.

Chi Le was sulking with himself, he didn’t want to argue with Sheng Zhuo here, lest other people see him as a joke and walked to the corner.

Sheng Zhuo quickly followed.

Chi Le walked faster and faster, without turning his head, he said, “Don’t follow me, I want to be alone.”

Sheng Zhuo frowned, how could he leave him alone to think wildly, he took two quick steps, took his hand, and dragged him upstairs.

Chi Le was not as strong as him, and he didn’t want to make a fuss here, so he struggled twice but couldn’t get away, and was dragged upstairs by Sheng Zhuo, and brought back to his room.

Chi Le looked at Sheng Zhuo’s room, and his heart skipped a beat.

Why does this room look so familiar? It was exactly the same as the room in his dream, except that the current decoration and arrangement of this room were relatively cold, unlike the one in his dream, which was full of his things everywhere, full of a joyful life atmosphere.

…

It’s over, he won’t be marrying into his family, right?

Chi Le couldn’t care less about getting angry and only cared about getting flustered.

Sheng Zhuo held Chi Le’s shoulders and looked at him seriously, “Lele, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I only found out that you misunderstood me not long ago, and I haven’t found a chance to explain it to you.”

Chi Le pursed his lips, “We stayed together every night, you obviously have many opportunities to explain the situation to me, why didn’t you explain?”

Sheng Zhuo looked at him and said honestly, “Because you look cute when you misunderstand.”

Chi Le widened his eyes, hardly believing the reason given by Sheng Zhuo. “Where am I cute?”

In his mind, he couldn’t see any connection between himself and cuteness.

Sheng Zhuo spoke softly, “The way you deliver milk to me every day is cute, the way you find reasons to give me red envelopes is also cute, and the way you always worry about hurting my self-esteem is even cuter.”

Chi Le’s eyelashes trembled slightly, his expression remained unchanged, but he was deeply shocked inside.

So, in the eyes of his wife… he’s actually considered cute?

Chi Le resolutely doesn’t think that he is cute, so the reason why Sheng Zhuo has this illusion must be because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sheng Zhuo likes him, which makes him find him adorable. Isn’t it all said on the internet? When you find someone cute, it means you are completely in love.

What does Sheng Zhuo mean when he says he is cute? Of course, it’s tantamount to confessing to him!

The more Chi Le thought about it, the more excited he became. He looked at Sheng Zhuo at a loss, hesitated for a moment, and said as small as a mosquito, “…You are also very cute.”

Sheng Zhuo: “…?”

Chi Le looked at him secretly, is it okay for him to respond like this? It is equivalent to ‘I like you too’, can Sheng Zhuo understand?

Seeing Chi Le’s calm expression, Sheng Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, “You aren’t angry?”

Chi Le has long forgotten all about being angry. After all, the nature of Sheng Zhuo’s family has nothing to do with him. If Sheng Zhuo grew up in an environment where he had no worries about food and clothing, he would only be happy for him.

He shook his head and said slowly, “Actually, it doesn’t matter whose son you are.”

The corners of Sheng Zhuo’s mouth raised, and his lips curled up slowly.

Chi Le raised his eyes, “What are you smiling at?”

“I don’t know, I always want to smile when I’m with you.”

Standing under the light, Sheng Zhuo’s eyes were bright and deep. Only then did Chi Le notice that he was dressed very handsomely today. He was wearing a neat suit and his hair was brushed up. Although he was usually handsome, with such sharp eyebrows and eyes, he looks a little more mature and stable, which is heart-pounding.

No wonder so many Omegas surrounded him just now.

However, Chi Le is not jealous at all because the future Omega, who is praised by everyone, ultimately chooses him.

While Chi Le was delighted, he secretly made up his mind that he must study hard and work hard in the future, otherwise, he might not be able to support his wife in the future.

These days after returning from the winter camp, although he and Sheng Zhuo haven’t met each other, every night Sheng Zhuo will make video calls with him and studies with him in the video. Now that he is able to study, as long as he can see Sheng Zhuo in the video when he looks up occasionally, as long as Sheng Zhuo is there, he will be inexplicably at ease.

The dinner party is about to officially begin, and soon someone will come to invite Sheng Zhuo to continue.

Chi Le was so elated by Sheng Zhuo’s coaxing, and when he went downstairs, he forgot all about the anger just now.

He followed Sheng Zhuo downstairs, looking down at Sheng Zhuo’s neckline, and found that Sheng Zhuo’s neckline was unraveled. He lowered his head and glanced at the bow tie on his neckline, and finally knew why he looked so childish.

He raised his hand, pulled off the tie without hesitation, and unbuttoned the two buttons, feeling much more comfortable immediately.

He glanced up at the reflection in the glass on the door, satisfied.

Sheng Zhuo looked sideways, and what he saw was a piece of snow-white skin. The delicate collarbone was lined with the silk white shirt in the suit, with an indescribable temptation.

Just as Chi Le was proud, Sheng Zhuo suddenly stretched out his hand to pull up his collar and buttoned all the buttons on his collar one by one until he reached the top one.

Chi Le was dumbfounded, “What are you doing?”

Sheng Zhuo helped him tidy up his neckline, and said a word expressionlessly, “Cold.”

“I don’t feel cold.” Chi Le didn’t take it seriously and raised his hand to unbutton it again.

Sheng Zhuo pushed his hand, staring at him persistently with his dark eyes.

Chi Le: “…” Fine, if you act it’s cold, then I’ll make you feel cold.

He raised his hand and fastened the buttons of Sheng Zhuo’s collar one by one, then smiled faintly, “It is indeed cold.”

“Yes, and there’s also a kind of coldness that makes a husband who cares for his wife feel cold.”

Cheng Run had been waiting downstairs impatiently, and when he saw them coming down, he hurried up to meet them.

When he approached, he found that the collar buttons of Sheng Zhuo and Chi Le were buttoned tighter than the other. He seemed to see two veteran cadres. He stayed where he was and fell into silence. He almost forgot what he wanted to say.

“Sheng Zhuo, why do you bother with this nouveau riche?”

Sheng Zhuo turned cold, “Keep your mouth clean, otherwise the Sheng family won’t welcome people like you who don’t know how to respect.”

Cheng Run was taken aback, his brows furrowed, “You would kill me for him? He didn’t even know who you were just now.”

Looking at Chi Le’s reaction just now, he thought that the two of them didn’t know each other, and that’s why he was so confident.

Sheng Zhuo managed to smooth Young Master Chi’s hair just now, so he dared not let others provoke him, and immediately said coldly: “The matter between us has nothing to do with you.”

Cheng Run held back his anger, and turned his head to look at Chi Le, wishing he could stare Chi Le into a hole.

Except for Sheng Zhuo, Chi Le has never been coquettish in front of others.

He raised his chin lightly and asked unhurriedly, “Who are you?”

Cheng Run snorted: “Listen well, I am the successor of the Cheng Group, not the successor of some nouveau riche family.”

Chi Le turned around and asked Sheng Zhuo, “Is the successor of the Cheng Group really amazing?”

Sheng Zhuo glanced at Cheng Run, “Mr. Cheng is not worth mentioning in front of Mr. Sheng.”

Chi Le: “???” Is this what I asked?

The staff passed by with red wine, and Chi Le felt thirsty, so he reached for a glass, and Cheng Run took a glass so as not to be outdone.

Sheng Zhuo remembered how Chi Le was drunk last time, and quickly took back the wine glass in his hand and replaced it with a glass of juice.

Chi Le glanced at the wine glasses in the hands of Cheng Run and the others: “…” Just a few days after we separated, my wife wouldn’t be the best in the world with him. He wouldn’t give him wine but gave it to others.

Looking at his expression, Sheng Zhuo knew what he was thinking. He cleared his throat, raised his eyebrows, and said, “I only care about you. The others are guests. They want to drink. I will only meet the needs of the guests.”

The corners of Chi Le’s lips curled up, what could be happier than his wife counting him as one of his own!?

“I’ll get you something to eat.” Chi Le felt better and finally remembered that as a husband, he had to take care of his wife, so he hurried to get cakes for Sheng Zhuo.

Sheng Zhuo watched him walk away and took a sip of wine from the wine glass.

Cheng Run looked at his rolling throat fascinatedly and couldn’t help but take a sip of his wine.

Sheng Zhuo put down his wine glass and glanced at him sideways, as if he had just realized that he was still here, with a cold voice, “Why have you been following Chi Le and chatting him up all the time?”

Cheng Run shrank his fingers holding the wine glass and looked at Sheng Zhuo in disbelief. Why did he feel that Sheng Zhuo looked at him as if he was looking at a rival in love?

…Must be his illusion.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Zhuo asked in the next second: “Do you like Chi Le?”

Cheng Run couldn’t believe it, saying, “How is that possible!”

Sheng Zhuo furrowed his eyebrows and replied, “If you don’t like him, why do you always seek validation in front of him?”

Cheng Run was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had been chasing Sheng Zhuo for so long and Sheng Zhuo didn’t find out. Now he just took the initiative to say a few words to Chi Le. Sheng Zhuo thought he liked Chi Le?

“Stay away from him.” Sheng Zhuo glanced at him and warned lightly, “He is mine.”

Cheng Run: “…”

Oh.
