Hua Yong was hospitalized for three days, sleeping more than waking up. Sheng Shaoyou was busy running between the hospital and the company. He went home alone at night, turned down all the drinking and sex parties, fell on the bed, and when he closed his eyes, he could always recall the unhappy face of the orchid.
On the day Hua Yong was discharged from the hospital, Sheng Shaoyou postponed a day's schedule to come and pick her up in person, but he still didn't get a good response.
After returning home, Hua Yong moved to the second bedroom. Sheng Shaoyou was also holding back his anger, but he thought that the whole house was equipped with pheromone concentration identification alarms, and it was not too risky for Hua Yong to sleep alone, so he did not try to persuade her to stay.
These days, Hua Yong was gloomy, melancholy, passive and depressed. If Sheng Shaoyou didn't take the initiative, they would be very cold and distant when they were together. Shu Xin was a lively Omega who was good at acting like a spoiled child. She had been desperately trying to contact Sheng Shaoyou to save the relationship.
Sheng Shaoyou hated clingy Omegas the most, but he couldn't bear to be cruel to the flower-scented Omega, so he just let her send him some irrelevant selfies and greetings from time to time.
Besides, there were a bunch of lovely Omegas waiting in groups for Sheng Shaoyou's favor. In contrast, Hua Yong, who deliberately distanced himself from Sheng Shaoyou, seemed particularly hateful.
Sheng Shaoyou, who had never been ignored before, felt resentful and started to compete with others.
It's just that she's divorced from an Omega. Does he still have to fall deeply in love with him and want to die for him?
The more he thought about it, the more determined he was to prove that Hua Yong was not irreplaceable. He was just soft-hearted because he felt sorry for him, not because he was going to hang himself on this tree and play the game of being faithful to each other for the rest of their lives.
Sheng Shaoyou, having figured it out, returned to the group for fun.
It had been a long time since they last met. Seeing that Sheng Shaoyou did not bring Hua Yong, Li Baiqiao did not mention it again. He assumed that Sheng Shaoyou had recovered from his "emotional trauma" and had completely forgotten about the orchid-scented Omega.
When we were chatting about it by chance one time, we found out that Hua Yong had been found.
"Fuck! You beat Shen Wenlang just for that Omega?" The fight between Sheng Shaoyou and Shen Wenlang was no longer news and had been hotly discussed by people in the social circle for several months.
Sheng Shaoyou drank silently, thinking about the time when Hua Yong came out and stood at the entrance before he went out in the morning, and handed him the cake she baked without saying a word.
"Shaoyou, I want to ask you a question?"
"What?"
"That orchid, Shen Wenlang must have touched it before, right?" Li Baiqiao smiled ambiguously, "That's impossible, right? You want to return the beauty in your arms intact? Don't you dislike dirty things? Why not give it to me?"
"You?" Sheng Shaoyou raised his eyes and looked him up and down, looking down on him with one million and two hundred thousand points of contempt. He said contemptuously: "I spent more than 100 million to find it, and you just give it to you like this?"
"Then you can sell it to me!"
"Just you? Spending 100 million? Be careful your brother will strangle you to death!"
"Why is he pinching me for no reason?" Li Baiqiao was unconvinced: "I'm just sleeping with a second-hand Omega, I'm not going to marry her in a grand ceremony!
You don't want her anymore, and you won't let me take her over for fun?" He paused, licked his lips and smiled:
"Besides, who knows how many hands she was…" Cheng Zhe, who was standing by, saw that Sheng Shaoyou had a bad look on his face, and hurriedly winked at Li Baiqiao, but Li Baiqiao was immersed in the fantasy of leaning on a beautiful woman, and said to himself: "But as long as the face is pretty, I don't mind.
It's just right for you to recycle it and make use of the waste."
Sheng Shaoyou put down the cup with a thud and asked with a gloomy face: "Who do you call a waste?"
Li Baiqiao was startled and stammered, unable to speak.
Cheng Zhe quickly tried to smooth things over: "He said that he was chasing after a pretty little Omega yesterday, and he invited people to drink three rounds of drinks but still couldn't get a table! Right, Baiqiao?"
Seeing Sheng Shaoyou was displeased, Li Baiqiao nodded humiliatingly: "Yes, yes, I'm talking about myself."
Forget it, Li Baiqiao's life was all about eating and waiting for death. He was a notorious loser in the second generation circle of Jianghu, the best among the playboys and losers, and the best among the second generation rich. As long as he could avoid being beaten by Sheng Shaoyou, he would be a loser.
A loser who escaped the disaster is better than an elite with a bruised face and nose!
After all, Sheng Shaoyou might have taken a lot of heat recently! When he got mad, he would even hit Shen Wenlang!
At the end of this round, Li Baiqiao drank a lot and pulled Sheng Shaoyou to talk in private, asking him:
"Shaoyou, tell me the truth, next time we see Hua Yong, should we call him sister-in-law?"
Sheng Shaoyou didn't comment, but his expression seemed to get worse.
Cheng Zhe reluctantly pulled Li Baiqiao back and said, "You're drunk." He then turned to Sheng Shaoyou and said, "Shaoyou, don't argue with a drunk."
Despite this, Sheng Shaoyou still felt a little uncomfortable.
Because he himself hadn't figured out what Hua Yong was to him. Marry her as a wife? It was definitely not that serious. But if he was asked to treat Hua Yong as a plaything and pass it on to people like Li Baiqiao, Sheng Shaoyou would be furious just thinking about it!
He couldn't give her away, nor could he marry her.
At home, Sheng Shaoyou treated him like an ancestor and always gave him a bad look.
The key point is that he doesn't think he did anything wrong to make Hua Yong so unhappy.
The days ahead will be really unbearable.
Although he thought so, in order to make Li Baiqiao and other perverts shut up, Sheng Shaoyou specially brought Hua Yong with him to the next gathering with "Li Baiqiao and others".
This orchid has been kept at home for too long and is almost moldy! It's time to get some sunshine.
When Hua Yong heard that Sheng Shaoyou was going to take her to a friend's party, she was stunned:
"Now?"
"Yes, it's Li Baiqiao's birthday. You should change into something nicer and dress up a little."
Hua Yong nodded silently and went to the cloakroom.
Fifteen minutes later, he came out of the cloakroom dressed neatly. Sheng Shaoyou was sitting on the sofa reading the latest quarterly financial report. Hearing his footsteps, his eyes were still on the financial report, and he asked without raising his head: "Are you done?"
Hua Yong nodded, sat down opposite him, reached out to pour herself a cup of tea, stopped talking, and waited for him quietly while holding the cup.
When Sheng Shaoyou finally finished his work, he looked at the time and felt that it was about time, so he finally stood up, looked up at Hua Yong, and was stunned.
His eyebrows furrowed quickly: "Didn't I ask you to dress up a little?"
Hua Yong was startled by his drink, and gently touched the bluish-white orchid brooch on her chest, and stammered, "Mr. Sheng, I've dressed up."
"Go change your clothes!" Sheng Shaoyou was inexplicably angry: "Don't you understand? I asked you to dress up a little, not to dress like a fairy."
The clothes were just picked up from the cloakroom.
When Sheng Shaoyou asked him to dress up, he just casually took out his orchid brooch and put it on. Apart from that, he didn't even wash his face. How else could he dress up?
"Then what should I wear?" Hua Yong asked innocently with his eyes wide open.
Sheng Shaoyou pulled him into the cloakroom and after choosing for a long time, he couldn't find a more simple formal suit than the one Hua Yong was wearing, which made him even angrier.
Help! My wife is so beautiful!
Like a lotus in clear water, it is naturally free of decoration. With Hua Yong's face, even if she wears a sack on the street, she will still be fresh and refined, stunning and charming!
Sheng Shaoyou searched for a long time but couldn't find more suitable clothes. His face became even more sour and his tone became even worse:
"That's it. When we get there later, don't talk to others without my permission! Do you hear me?"
"Mr. Sheng." Seeing that Sheng Shaoyou was unhappy, Hua Yong said awkwardly: "Can I not go?"
"You don't want to attend social events with me?"
Sheng Shaoyou's eyes became a little dangerous.
"No." Hua Yong lowered her head to avoid his murderous gaze and asked in a low voice, "Will it be bad?"
"What's wrong with that?"
The Omega opposite stopped talking, his pointed chin was tucked in, his head was lowered and he was looking at his toes, as if he was standing in the corner for punishment.
Sheng Shaoyou felt inexplicably upset and almost wanted to blame the birthday boy Li Baiqiao, scolding him for looking for trouble and having to be born today.
"…." Hua Yong was silent for a long time, and suddenly, like squeezing toothpaste, she blurted out words one by one: "It's not good for me to be with you."
Sheng Shaoyou's anger suddenly died down, and his heart gradually cooled down. He understood what Hua Yong meant by "not good".
They all know.
Because the time was so short, they haven't had time to forget those very bad memories.
Hua Yong's arms were pressed against her body, her fingers hanging down, anxiously pressing the hem of her clothes and stroking it nervously.
Sheng Shaoyou grabbed his hand and held it in his palm. Hua Yong's hand was a little smaller than Sheng Shaoyou's, much whiter, and soft to the touch, as if no one would be willing to hurt him.
"I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Sheng Shaoyou's determination and calmness seemed to give Hua Yong great courage.
He raised his face and looked at him with moist and gentle eyes, "Really?"
"Yes." Sheng Shaoyou took his hand and led him out of the cloakroom, saying helplessly, "Just go like this.
You are a fairy, you can't pretend to be ugly."
Hua Yong was amused by his words and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
This rare smile made Sheng Shaoyou's days of depression dissipate a little. His tone became better and he reminded him: "Pay no attention to Li Baiqiao later.
He is a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory. He only says things that make people angry."
Hua Yong nodded to show that he understood.
Sheng Shaoyou reached out and rubbed his fluffy hair a few more times, and found that it did not affect his dazzling beauty at all, so he put his hand down and held his hand again: "Let's go."
Li Baiqiao's brother in power returned from Zurich, so he had to keep a low profile recently. He didn't dare to have a big party on his birthday, and couldn't be as extravagant as he had been in previous years. He just booked a floor at a restaurant he often went to, and invited 20 to 30 friends.
Sheng Shaoyou was the last to arrive. When he arrived, the others were already chatting animatedly.
Li Baiqiao was dressed up like a decent man, wearing a formal suit and a rather handsome hairstyle.
When he saw Sheng Shaoyou, he smiled with eight teeth showing: "Shaoyou, you're here!" His eyes fell behind him and his smile became even bigger: "My sister-in-law is here too? Hello!"
Hua Yong didn't react at first, but when she did, her face turned red, and a hint of shyness shone through her almost transparent white face, making her look like a beautiful shrimp.
He whispered, "Hello." Glancing at the birthday cake beside him, he added, "Happy birthday to you."
Li Baiqiao was even happier, and responded with great joy: "Hey, thank you, sister-in-law."
Sheng Shaoyou didn't like Hua Yong talking to Li Baiqiao, and he didn't like Li Baiqiao's insincere words.
Sister-in-law is sister-in-law, but adding a little word to it doesn't sound so good. Little sister-in-law? Sheng Shaoyou smacked his lips and felt more and more uncomfortable, as if Hua Yong was not the wife passing by, but a concubine who was having an affair secretly.
The host of the birthday party was a female Omega who was a little famous in the hosting industry. She had a relationship with Li Baiqiao in the past. She stood on the stage, blew kisses to her ex generously, and flirted with the rich and noble Alphas in the audience.
Looking at Hua Yong who was silent but not restrained, Sheng Shaoyou couldn't help but recall the first time he took him to a party.
That time, Hua Yong wore an inappropriate old sweater and sat quietly next to Sheng Shaoyou, but Sheng Shaoyou became the most watched and envied Alpha on the field.
It seemed like it was Hua Yong's first time attending a glamorous upper-class banquet. Although he was wearing the most inconspicuous clothes, he seemed very calm and relaxed, curiously looking at everyone who came to chat with Sheng Shaoyou, but always maintaining the decency of a worldly person.
At that time, Sheng Shaoyou felt that this Omega who was calm and reserved in social situations was more suitable for him than those Omegas who would take a thousand photos and post them on social media after eating a meal or buying a bag.
