After Being Deceived, I Married Someone Else and Had Children Chapter 113

“Right, wife—”

Gu Heng raised his brows with a smile. Seeing Zuo Shihuan’s dazed expression, he couldn’t resist leaning over to plant another big kiss on his forehead, laughing so hard his chest shook. “Shihuan, just go ahead and spend it. Don’t worry about me going bankrupt.”

Zuo Shihuan curled his fingers slightly and said somewhat embarrassedly, pressing his lips together, “…I’m an Alpha. I can’t be called wife. But I’ll accept the money, Gu Heng. Thank you.”

Gu Heng knew this already meant Zuo Shihuan was accepting him. Perhaps because of his past wandering hardships, Zuo Shihuan had a strong sense of pride, he didn’t like relying on others, and there had never been anyone for him to rely on.

For Zuo Shihuan to be willing to accept his money was already enough.

After this, he would make Zuo Shihuan truly trust him, and even when he himself had become a towering tree unafraid of wind and rain, he would still be willing to lean against him, accompanying each other to shelter from storms and bathe in sunlight together.

However, there was one thing about Zuo Shihuan that left Gu Heng quite helpless, he had too many strange, rigid impressions about what it meant to be an Alpha.

Why couldn’t an Alpha be called wife?

He was!

Looking at the little old-fashioned Zuo Shihuan, Gu Heng’s heart brimmed with tender affection, almost overflowing from his chest. His magnetic voice seemed soaked in sweet, sticky honey syrup as he said,

“Shihuan, you are my wife. If you don’t like me calling you that, how about I call you… wifey.”

Gu Heng leaned down closer. His noble and refined face crashed directly into Zuo Shihuan’s sight, and he could clearly see the love and indulgence in Gu Heng’s smiling eyes, almost drowning him in it.

Zuo Shihuan’s pupils trembled slightly, overwhelmed by the sweetness.

He felt a bit embarrassed and flushed at being called that by a Beta as an Alpha, yet there was also a hint of joy and delight, like sweet bubbles popping up one by one in his heart, spreading to his tongue as if he could taste the sweetness.

Zuo Shihuan pressed his lips together, as though swallowing the sweetness on his tongue, only then regaining a bit of clarity from the dizzying sugar rush.

Secretly curling his shy fingers, he said in a voice as thin as silk to Gu Heng, “Calling me that… wifey is also strange.”

Gu Heng propped his chin on his hand, his eyes crafty and smiling. “Doesn’t ‘Shihuan wifey’ sound nice?”

The more Zuo Shihuan listened, the more embarrassed and red he became; even his earlobes were red as if they might drip blood. Gathering courage only to lose it again, he covered his face and said, “It’s just… just… forget it. Gu Heng, just don’t say it outside.”

Gu Heng’s triumphant smile deepened. Curling his lips, he asked, “Not outside? Then I’ll say it here. Shihuan wifey, Shihuan wifey, wifey…”

Zuo Shihuan covered his face in embarrassment, unable to speak. He knew Gu Heng would deliberately tease him, so he decided to pretend he hadn’t heard anything.

Gu Heng teased, “Wifey, why aren’t you talking?”

Zuo Shihuan made up his mind not to respond, thinking that once Gu Heng found it boring, he would stop.

Unfortunately, Gu Heng only found it more and more fun.

“Shihuan wifey, I’ll take you to the mall to buy clothes later, ”

“Shihuan wifey, I’ll wholeheartedly pick out good-looking clothes for you. After all, my wifey is both beautiful and capable; you look good in anything.”

“But Shihuan wifey is already good-looking. If you dress even better, what if some shameless people try to snatch you away?”

Gu Heng pretended to be deeply worried for a moment, then quickly declared as if confronting invisible enemies, “I absolutely won’t allow that to happen. If a bunch of crazy bees and butterflies shamelessly try to get close to my Shihuan wifey, I’ll kill every butterfly that comes!”

Hearing this, Zuo Shihuan blushed furiously and didn’t dare lift his head. He very much wanted to plug his ears and empty his mind.

If he acted as though he hadn’t heard anything, he wouldn’t feel so embarrassed that he wanted to curl his toes into the ground.

Who would be so bored as to pursue him, an Alpha? And what “a bunch of crazy bees and butterflies” chasing him, the biggest and most shameless crazy bee and butterfly was Gu Heng himself!

Moreover, compared to him, a boring and old-fashioned Alpha, Gu Heng seemed more like the one pursued by swarms of admirers.

For some reason, Zuo Shihuan recalled that when they weren’t familiar before, every time he saw Gu Heng, he was surrounded by a heap of “crazy bees and butterflies,” gazing at him with infatuated, lovestruck eyes. So many people had tried to strike up conversations with him.

He was practically a fatal attractant for crazy bees and butterflies.

No matter whether Alpha, Omega, Beta, or men and women alike, all were stunned and amazed by Gu Heng’s appearance and presence. Wherever Gu Heng appeared, there was never a lack of people wanting to approach him.

If Gu Heng himself hadn’t been uninterested in such things, and if his aloof and cold aura hadn’t blocked off a large batch of people trying to approach him, 

Gu Heng could probably fill an entire room just with love letters and phone numbers.

Suddenly, Zuo Shihuan felt a little sour and stifled in his chest and couldn’t help muttering softly, “You’re the one… with all the crazy bees and butterflies…”

Gu Heng froze for a moment, seemingly surprised that Zuo Shihuan had finally spoken. A teasing, interested smile flashed across his dark eyes.

“Shihuan, are you jealous?”

Gu Heng looked pleased and delighted. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the steering wheel uncontrollably. With an exaggerated, aggrieved frown, he said, “Shihuan wifey, I swear to heaven, I didn’t even glance at anyone else. From beginning to end, I’ve only had Shihuan wifey alone!”

Zuo Shihuan’s face instantly flushed red. Turning his head shyly, he changed the subject and said, “I know. Just shut up and focus on driving!”

Gu Heng refused to let it go. “How can I shut up? Shihuan wifey, you still haven’t answered my question. Were there any shameless crazy bees and butterflies who pursued you before?”

Zuo Shihuan held his forehead in regret. He shouldn’t have impulsively responded to Gu Heng earlier. Sighing, he said, “Just watch the road and drive. I’m really afraid you’ll crash into a tree if you don’t look at the road. And compared to a plain and boring Alpha like me, Gu Heng, you were the one many people wanted to pursue back then, weren’t you?”

“Shihuan, you’re not plain and boring at all.”

Gu Heng suddenly became serious, his dark eyes deep and resolute as he said, “You don’t even know how attractive you are. If Shihuan, you wanted to date someone, how could anyone possibly refuse?”

Zuo Shihuan smiled indifferently. “That’s a bit exaggerated. What attractiveness? It’s normal for someone to reject me.”

Gu Heng said suspiciously in a low voice, “Oh? Do you really think that? Shihuan, has no one ever handed you a love letter to confess?”

Zuo Shihuan’s expression wavered for a moment, as if sinking into some dusty thoughts of the past. It really did bring up a few vague related memories.

Gu Heng immediately narrowed his eyes dangerously, sourness surging up as his tongue pressed against his teeth to suppress it. He said in a low voice, “Don’t recall it, okay?”

The moment Zuo Shihuan showed that reflective look, Gu Heng knew that what he had casually asked had come true. Naturally, someone as outstanding and charming as Zuo Shihuan would have been liked.

Even if it was long in the past, just thinking that during the time he didn’t know Zuo Shihuan, someone else had witnessed a younger, flourishing, captivating Zuo Shihuan made him feel incomparably sour and unwilling.

Gu Heng’s nose stung as he asked hoarsely, “Forget it, Shihuan, don’t think about it. The past… is already past, right?”

Zuo Shihuan froze for a moment, then replied, “Of course it’s already past.”

Gu Heng lowered his eyes, clenching his palm. “Right, since it’s already past, then even if Shihuan you accepted those people’s love letters, exchanged contact information, and went on dates at school…”

The more he spoke, the less he could continue.

Originally, Gu Heng had wanted Zuo Shihuan to be jealous and care about him a little more. But now it had turned into him being unbearably sour and jealous, afraid of hearing that Zuo Shihuan had really had those experiences.

Gu Heng’s gaze darkened. His fingers tightened around the steering wheel, yet his voice was unusually calm. “If only I could have met you earlier…”

“But even if you had met me earlier, it wouldn’t have been useful, Gu Heng. Back then I didn’t want to date at all or waste time. And it wasn’t like you think, I didn’t receive other people’s love letters, didn’t exchange any contact information, and definitely didn’t go on dates.”

Zuo Shihuan’s eyes were gentle. Lowering his head, he smiled. “Now is already the best time. Not too early and not too late. Meeting you, Gu Heng, is already the best thing.”

He turned to look at the stunned Gu Heng.

Zuo Shihuan couldn’t help but laugh. Curling his finger, he lightly knocked Gu Heng on the head and said with a soft chuckle, “The best time has already been given to you, hasn’t it? Focus on driving. Stop overthinking.”

Gu Heng was stunned, his pupils dilating, murmuring absentmindedly, “Oh, oh, okay. Driving, ”

But the spot where Zuo Shihuan had tapped him, and Zuo Shihuan’s gentle, sincere words just now, his smiling brows, every word, every expression, kept lingering in his mind.

Repeating again and again.

‘Already the best time.’

‘Not too late, not too early. Everything just right.’

‘Meeting him is the best thing for Zuo Shihuan. Meeting him is the best…’

It kept replaying in Gu Heng’s mind.

Suddenly, his heart, slow by a beat, began racing abruptly, like a drum sounding an excited trumpet call.

In his ears came a roaring, ecstatic wind, restless and thrilled ringing. The blood in his body surged and flowed; the excitement traveled along his nerves to the tips of his fingers until they tingled and trembled.

Just like his soaring mood.

Gu Heng couldn’t help pressing his lips together, yet he still couldn’t suppress the corners of his mouth lifting high. He restrained his overly excited expression slightly, but his deep, pure black eyes shone more and more like a vast, glittering starry sky.

Gu Heng cleared his throat lightly and turned to Zuo Shihuan with a smile. “Shihuan wifey, so the one you love most is me, right?”

Zuo Shihuan choked, covering his face and replying extremely softly, “Mm.”

Gu Heng was finally satisfied. With a flushed face, he tightened his arm, then after a while said, “Shihuan, I love you the most too.”

Zuo Shihuan covered his even redder face and replied even more softly, “Oh.”

After that.

Neither of them spoke. In tacit understanding, one focused on driving and watching the road, the other turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, as if calm had returned inside the car.

Neither looked at the other.

But

The two of them’s fluttering, reddened faces, and the gradually rising temperature, seemed not so simple.

—

Twenty minutes later.

They arrived at the edge of the central city.

Towering, distinctive buildings. Increasing crowds. Lines of hovering cars. And… Federal police blocking the road for inspection.

Police car red lights flashing.

Police cars continuously broadcasting notices, along with the impatient complaints and curses of stopped drivers. Brakes. Horns. Noisy voices.

“Federal police on duty.”

“Due to a sudden order from higher authorities, today citizens entering and leaving the Federal main planet must undergo identity checks. All Federal citizens, please stop and cooperate with inspection, ”

“Please stop and cooperate with inspection.”

Many Federal drivers were blocked at the intersection, unable to enter or exit the Federal central city, growing more irritated and complaining.

“What’s going on? They never used to check before.”

“I have urgent matters! When will they let me in!”

“How long are they going to inspect? What kind of mistake is this? Why wasn’t there advance notice?!”

“These useless Federal police won’t go handle cases and instead come inspect cars. Did some fugitive escape or something?”

Gu Heng’s expression remained cold and unchanged as he continued to slowly drive the hovercar.

He had long known that the Zuo family had sent people to block the roads, and he wasn’t surprised or afraid. These Federal police did not have the ability to discover their true identities.

Only.

He didn’t care about these Federal police, but he cared about one person.

When Gu Heng saw Zuo Shihuan’s face turn pale, the tense and uneasy emotions had not stopped from the moment he saw the Federal police. Yet he did not voice any blame or complaint toward him, merely enduring these cramped, uneasy negative emotions alone.

It suddenly made Gu Heng realize that not everyone was as willful and bold as he was, daring to face the psychological pressure of official forces like the Federal police.

Especially since Zuo Shihuan had always been someone who abided by the law, mature and steady in temperament, living day by day in an orderly and stable manner, completely different from someone like him who had long roamed along the dangerous edges of battlefields.

If he hadn’t willfully dragged Zuo Shihuan into his world, Zuo Shihuan would never have had to face police inspections like this.

It was his fault.

For making Zuo Shihuan face the pressure of Federal police searches.

Gu Heng’s gaze dimmed obscurely. With a bitter, faint smile he said, “Shihuan, let’s go back.”

Zuo Shihuan was startled. “Why?”
