CH 44

Tang Er Yuan sat in Zhou Ze’s car, moving his body uncomfortably and barely managed to find a comfortable position to sit in.

Zhou Ze first called his father, saying that he couldn’t buy ice cream for his brother because he had to take Tang Er Yuan home. His father really didn’t get angry and instead urged him to take good care of Tang Er Yuan.

Zhou Ze hung up the phone, started the car, stared at the road ahead and asked, seemingly carelessly, “Er Yuan, how come you’re with Li Can?”

Tang Er Yuan looked out of the car window at the rapidly passing scenery and replied casually, “I went to visit my younger brother San Yuan’s set today and it just so happened that Li Can went to see Li Xin Ran, so I met him on the set.”

Hearing Li Xin Ran’s name, Zhou Ze’s movements stiffened for a moment and he pursed the corners of his lips

“I saw Li Xin Ran today, and Li Xin Ran told me to be nicer to you in the future, he still seems to care about you and seems to have not let go of you.” Tang Er Yuan turned his head to look at him, and said in a flat voice.

Zhou Ze’s arm was a bit tense as he drove the car, there just happens to be a red light in front of him and Zhou Ze stopped the car. After a moment of silence, he turned his head to look at Tang Er Yuan and said with a rather serious expression, “But I have already put him down, Er Yuan, since I have proposed to you, I will not think of anyone else in my heart. I can guarantee that I will not have any relationship with him again. ”

In fact, Tang Er Yuan did not mean to test his attitude by saying this to him, Tang Er Yuan just thought that Li Xin Ran was good to Zhou Ze and Zhou Ze should know that.

But now that Zhou Ze had said that, he nodded his head.

Zhou Ze relaxed and smiled gently, “Er Yuan, I won’t rush you to agree to marry me, but can you come with me to meet my parents tomorrow?”

“……Meet your parents?” Tang Er Yuan froze and looked at him with some surprise.

“Well, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, it’s my father……” Zhou Ze paused for a moment, “parents want to meet you.”

“Will this be too soon?” Tang Er Yuan couldn’t help but frown, he hadn’t even agreed to Zhou Ze’s proposal yet and he was going to meet his parents straight away?

Although he did not resent spending time with his elders, his relationship with Zhou Ze was not that close after all and they had not yet established their relationship. It was not good for Tang Er Yuan to meet his parents so hastily.

Zhou Ze’s voice softened a bit and he coaxed softly, “Er Yuan, just think of it as doing me a favour.”

He said doing him a favour, but he slowly released some pheromones. The Alpha’s pheromones would cause a sense of oppression to the Omega, especially in this confined space, he was trying to use the pheromones to make Tang Er Yuan obey.

Tang Er Yuan’s body shook uncontrollably and he tightened his eyebrows in displeasure. He had always hated the act of an Alpha using his natural advantage to make an Omega obey. He had been able to be gun buddies with Li Can for so many years because Li Can respected him and never used pheromones to make him obey.

For the first time, he had some antipathy towards Zhou Ze, an antipathy that came on so strong that he couldn’t suppress it even if he wanted to.

Tang Er Yuan bit his lips lightly, trying to control his body’s natural instinct to obey Alpha and insisted on not saying yes to Zhou Ze.

The red light happened to change, Zhou Ze started the car again and waiting for a while, he didn’t even hear Tang Er Yuan answer. When he turned his head, he saw Tang Er Yuan looking ahead with a cold face, displeasure written all over his face.

He looked stunned and hastily collected the pheromones in his body. He always used this method to make Li Xin Ran obey in the past, and each time Li Xin Ran would become softer, so he got used to it and thought it was okay to do this to Tang Er Yuan.

He hurriedly apologised, “Er Yuan, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to stress you out just now, I just desperately wanted you to say yes.”

The smell of pheromones around him gradually dissipated and Tang Er Yuan’s frown loosened slightly, but he still didn’t open his mouth to say yes.

Zhou Ze’s voice was even softer, with some ingratiating hints, “You’re so nice, I want my parents to know how nice you are.”

Tang Er Yuan tilted his head towards the outside of the car and looked out at the surging traffic, his personality had always been free and casual and he didn’t like being forced to do things he didn’t want to do.

Zhou Ze was silent for a while. Tang Er Yuan was not Li Xin Ran and was not someone he could coax with a few words.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat depressing, neither of them spoke, and they were silent for a while at the same time.

Zhou Ze turned his head to look at Tang Er Yuan with a hint of begging in his eyes, as if this meeting with his parents was really important to him, he said in a tense but as gentle voice as he could, “Er Yuan, you know that my mother’s health has always been bad, I have been away from home for the past few years, I am unfilial and have not been able to be by her side to take care of her. Because of some things that happened to my father in the past few years, her health is getting worse and worse. The doctor said that the only way to keep her health healthier is to keep her in a relaxed mood and she is most worried about me, her only son. Now, I want her to see what a good person my future partner is so that she can be reassured.”

Hearing Zhou Ze say that he was his future partner, Tang Er Yuan’s face reddened slightly.

Seeing that Tang Er Yuan had loosened up a little, Zhou Ze hurriedly picked up again, “I am also doing this for my mother’s health, we are simply having a meal. Help me out, I just want to reassure her and not always worry about me.”

Tang Er Yuan hesitated for a moment and nodded. It was right for Zhou Ze to be filial to his elders, although he didn’t like the way Zhou Ze had just tried to make him obey, it was understandable that Zhou Ze was in a momentary rush for his mother’s sake. It would be good if he went to see Zhou Ze’s parents for a while so that he could make his mother a little healthier.

“Thank you, Er Yuan.” Zhou Ze smiled gratefully.

It was the first time that Red Rose had been so careful to please in front of him, and Tang Er Yuan pursed his lips and decided to lighten the mood, “Let me choose a place to invite Uncle and Auntie to dinner tomorrow.”

This would seem a little more sincere.

“Ok.” Zhou Ze nodded with a smile.

As he drove, he told a few jokes to Tang Er Yuan to liven up the atmosphere again, and sent Tang Er Yuan home in peace.

At night, Tang Er Yuan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so he turned on the wall lamp and stared blankly at the ceiling.

The wall lamp was star-shaped, and the small holes in the lamp projected a small star on the roof, shining faintly in the darkness of the night.

He was still a little upset when he remembered Zhou Ze’s release of pheromones today and it seemed that the Red Rose was not as nice as he had imagined.

As he thought about it, he unconsciously thought of Li Can and wondered if his Pink Rose was as nice as he imagined it to be.

Today, Li Can had even slapped his buttocks on the set. Tang Er Yuan couldn’t help but grind his teeth, that bastard!

His phone dinged, interrupting his thoughts, he huffed and picked it up to see that it was a message from Li Can.

‘Are you asleep?’

Tang Er Yuan looked at the time, it was now eleven thirty in the middle of the night, he tapped his phone.

”No, why are you still awake?”

Li Can was lying on his bed and when he saw that Tang Er Yuan was still awake, he smiled and sat up from his bed, putting his pillow up and sitting leaning against it.

He opened the message and saw Tang Er Yuan’s question and pursed his lips in depression. He couldn’t say that he had already slept just now, but in his sleep, he dreamed of Wang Nai Qing pressing on Tang Er Yuan’s body one moment, and the back of Tang Er Yuan leaving after Zhou Ze the next, and as a result, he woke up directly angry, right?

He still couldn’t help but be angry now when he remembered the dream and the stifling anger in his heart hadn’t dissipated yet, so he directly made a phone call.

Tang Er Yuan quickly picked up, “Hello.”

His voice had a slight hoarseness to it but it seemed a little sweet in the silent night and Li Chan’s mood instantly improved, the irritation from his sleep dissipating.

He didn’t say the reason why he woke up with a start, only saying, “I was already asleep and woke up from a dream, how about you? Why are you still up so late?”

Tang Er Yuan didn’t pursue the question, rolled over twice on the bed and replied in a muffled voice: “A little insomnia.”

Li Can couldn’t help but tease, “Do you want Li Ge Ge to sing you a lullaby? Just sing something like ‘Little Baby Go to Sleep’?”

“Scram……” Tang Er Yuan rubbed himself on the pillow, his whole body was soft and sleepy. Obviously he wasn’t sleepy at all just now, but after listening to Li Can’s voice for a while, his sleepiness gradually came up.

Li Can laughed lowly twice and his voice seemed to have a hypnotic effect even through the microphone. Tang Er Yuan was even more sleepy and couldn’t help but yawn.

When Li Can heard his yawn, he couldn’t help but laugh again, “I haven’t even started singing yet, and you’re already sleepy?”

Tang Er Yuan ignored his teasing and closed his eyes sleepily, he remembered that he had to invite Zhou Ze’s parents to dinner tomorrow, so he lazily asked, “Do you know of a better restaurant, something more formal, I want to go with my elders.”

Li Can’s business usually had social engagements so he should know where there were more formal settings.

Li Can didn’t think much about it, he just thought that Tang Er Yuan wanted to take which of the elders in his family. He looked down and thought seriously for a while and said, “There’s a good restaurant called Cloud Residence over by Ah Yun Tan, it’s near my mother’s company, I’ve been there a few times. The dishes are novel, the environment is generous and quiet, and the tea there is excellent, the elders all like it, it’s very suitable to have a meal with the elders. If you need it, I’ll send you the address later.”

“Okay……” Tang Er Yuan replied vaguely, his eyes already too sleepy to open, barely holding himself together as he replied.

“Yuan Yuan, you’re sleepy?” Li Can asked, hearing the sleepiness in his voice.

“Mmm……”

Li Can smiled lowly, he called Tang Er Yuan ‘Yuan Yuan’ and Tang Er Yuan didn’t even refute it, so it seemed he was really sleepy.

“Yuan Yuan, put the phone a little further away before you go to sleep.” Li Can’s lowered voice admonished.

Although the technology was now so advanced that mobile phones no longer radiated and would not cause harm to the body when kept by the side, Li Can was worried that if the phone was too close, Tang Er Yuan would press the phone when he slept and Tang Er Yuan’s skin was tender, so he would definitely press out red marks again by then, so he could not help but dictate.

There was no answer coming from Tang Er Yuan’s side.

“……Yuan Yuan?” Li Can shouted softly, but there was only a thin, soft gasping sound coming from the other side of the phone and it seemed that Tang Er Yuan had fallen asleep.

His eyes couldn’t help but flash a gentle smile and laughed lightly twice before saying somewhat gently, “Good night, Yuan Yuan.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Can sent the address of the hotel to Tang Er Yuan’s mobile phone, he then covered himself with the blanket and fell asleep, this time sweet and dreamless, sleeping until dawn.
