MWMM Chapter 49: Kissed Him

Then, Yan Yuzhou watched as Su Xintang used her free hand—the one not holding the shopping bag—and fiercely swung it toward him.

The original wife being slapped by the mistress, damn, what bad luck.

There was no time to dodge; instinctively, he closed his eyes. Suddenly, he felt the hand holding his being abruptly released. A moment later, Su Xintang’s aggrieved voice sounded beside his ear.

“Shen Ci-gege, you’re taking his side?”

Yan Yuzhou opened his eyes in surprise and saw that Su Xintang’s wrist, the one she had swung at him, was now tightly gripped by Shen Ci’s hand—the same hand that had just been holding his. Obviously, Shen Ci had saved him.

Looking toward Shen Ci beside him, he saw that the other’s gaze was devoid of any warmth. His lips were pressed into a thin line, and his entire expression radiated anger.

“Zhouzhou is your sister-in-law. You dare to lay a hand on him in front of me?”

Shen Ci’s voice carried a chill, his aura suddenly intensifying. Yan Yuzhou, standing closest to him, couldn’t help but shiver.

Perhaps noticing that the person beside him had been affected by his pheromones, Shen Ci quietly restrained them. However, his expression remained cold and stern, without a trace of humor.

Then, under Su Xintang’s tearful gaze, he released her hand.

Yan Yuzhou glanced sympathetically at the girl opposite him, only to receive a fierce glare in return.

“Shen Ci-gege,” Su Xintang’s eyes reddened as she pointed accusingly at Yan Yuzhou and sobbed to Shen Ci, “How could you take him out shopping? I’ve asked you out so many times, but you never agreed. I had no choice but to come out on my own. And it’s all for you—ties, watches, even a pair of cufflinks. Wuwuwu, Brother Shen Ci, you’re so cruel. Is it because this vixen seduced you?”

Shen Ci’s face had already turned extremely unpleasant. Yan Yuzhou, on the other hand, didn’t care. At the moment, he felt like a bystander, detached from the situation despite being at the center of the accusations. Instead, he found the drama quite entertaining.

“Call him that one more time, and you’ll be sent straight back overseas.” Shen Ci said to Su Xintang in front of him without a shred of mercy. His words were completely devoid of any consideration, leaving the girl’s face pale in an instant.

“Brother Shen Ci…” Su Xintang, who had never been spoken to like this by Shen Ci since childhood, was momentarily stunned. Then, her tears flowed down in a stream, like a clear spring cascading continuously. Soon, they gathered on her cheeks, as if they wouldn’t stop any time soon.

Even Yan Yuzhou couldn’t bear to watch.

Su Xintang was so beautiful. Even with his straight-guy aesthetic, she was the type who could outshine the moon and flowers. Being scolded so harshly by that cold-faced iceberg—who could just stand by and do nothing?

“Shen Ci, Miss Su didn’t do it on purpose. Your words just now were too harsh. Look, she’s crying now. Aren’t you going to comfort her?”

As he finished speaking, Yan Yuzhou kept giving Shen Ci meaningful glances, radiating the magnanimity and composure of the “original spouse.” Although, deep down, Yan Yuzhou knew he was only doing this because Miss Su was just too stunning~~~

“I don’t need your fake kindness! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re definitely trying to act all magnanimous to attract Brother Shen Ci’s attention. Let me tell you, Brother Shen Ci won’t fall for your tricks! Sure, you’re good with words, but so what? Brother Shen Ci won’t love you just because of that silver tongue of yours!”

Yan Yuzhou: ……

He sighed helplessly, glanced at the angry girl across from him, smiled, and said casually, “That’s true.”

Then, Shen Ci’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear, the tone slightly rising at the end, full of arrogant defiance.

“Who says I won’t?”

“Eh?” Yan Yuzhou instinctively let out a sound of confusion. He looked up at Shen Ci, only to see Shen Ci also turning toward him, lowering his head slightly, and looking directly at him.

Then, completely beyond Yan Yuzhou’s expectations, Shen Ci swiftly leaned down.

With a sweep of his long arm, Yan Yuzhou was forced to take a step forward. Then, right before his eyes, Shen Ci’s cold lips pressed against his.

Boom. That string in his head snapped. It exploded.

Shen Ci actually bit his lip.

It hurt.

After three seconds, Shen Ci finally let go of him. The color in Shen Ci’s gaze grew even deeper as he stared at Yan Yuzhou’s lips. Unconsciously, his Adam’s apple moved.

Yan Yuzhou felt like he had just lost all dignity. In front of a beautiful girl, he had been forcibly kissed by the man she was in love with.

Oh my god, from now on, he would never be able to show his face among straight men again.

A sharp scream from Su Xintang rang in his ears. Yan Yuzhou instinctively turned his head to look. The girl was covering her mouth tightly with her hands. She was no longer crying, but her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

“Brother Shen Ci, you actually… kissed him. You—can you accept an omega now?”

Shen Ci adjusted his clothes, his expression returning to normal, and calmly explained, “Not others. Just him.”

With that one sentence, Su Xintang’s tears started flowing again. Yan Yuzhou watched as the devastated girl dropped the shopping bags in her hands, turned around, and ran away, crying loudly.

Watching Su Xintang’s retreating figure, Yan Yuzhou felt a pang of guilt. He couldn’t help but complain to Shen Ci with a tone full of reproach, “Mr. Shen, you were too harsh on her. Scolding her was one thing, but did you have to kiss me in front of her? Look, now you’ve made Miss Su run off crying.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yuzhou shivered again from the chill. Confused, he looked up and saw Shen Ci staring at him with a dangerous and scrutinizing gaze. Then, in a cold voice, Shen Ci asked,

“Yan Yuzhou, do you think I kissed you just to put on a show for her?”

Enduring the chill spreading across his body, Yan Yuzhou blinked and reflexively asked back, “Isn’t that it? Didn’t you just want to use me to drive her away?”

Otherwise, why would a perfectly normal omega-repulsion patient kiss him?

Shen Ci stared at him for a long time, his gaze complex. If you looked closely, Yan Yuzhou thought Shen Ci seemed a little disappointed. Then, he heard Shen Ci let out a cold laugh.

“You’re right. So, to make the act more convincing, I suggest we practice more.”

With that, Shen Ci firmly grasped his chin without leaving room for argument. He leaned in for a deep kiss, one that carried a sense of inevitability, as though resistance was futile.

It was filled with force, obsession, and the dangerous undertones of confinement.

The kiss almost gave Yan Yuzhou a heart attack.

Afterward, Shen Ci narrowed his eyes, giving him a playful and lingering glance. Then, with a cold chuckle, he said,

“This time, it was much better than the last.”

“Looks like we’ll need to continue reinforcing the practice tomorrow.”

“The day after tomorrow, we should focus on intensive training.”

“The day after that, we can move on to French techniques.”

“But with how slow you are to catch on, we might have to spend a whole month just on French.”

Yan Yuzhou: !!! A whole month?

Was this never going to end?

Damn it! If kisses are off the table, just take my life instead!
