After The Sickly O Was Forced Into Marriage Chapter 14

“I don’t have anything…”

“Nothing?” Jiang Xusheng smiled, picking him up and finally standing before the floor-to-ceiling window.

Wang Shu’s feet rested on the carpet. Jiang Xusheng, standing behind him, lowered his head, reversing their positions so that he was kissing Wang Shu’s neck from behind.

“Baby, do you know what’s in front of you?”

Wang Shu couldn’t see. He reached out, his hand touching the glass—a window that offered a view of the distance.

“A window,” he said obediently.

“No,” Jiang Xusheng told him what he was seeing. “On the street, there are Xieshu Pharmaceutical transport vehicles. In the distance is the foundation we just acquired. Further still is the port and the ships. All these things are yours.”

Wang Shu felt like Mr. Jiang was joking. They had signed a prenuptial agreement regarding asset distribution. Although Wang Shu had insisted on signing it—he was desperate to prove he wasn’t marrying for money—he was still delighted by the flattery. It was as if Mr. Jiang’s words truly allowed him to see the distant view.

And just as he said, everything within sight belonged to him.

Wang Shu turned around, hugging Jiang Xusheng’s waist and resting his head quietly against him.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been willful and made you angry.”

Jiang Xusheng stroked his face, his thumb pressing against the edge of his bright eyes. “Your eyes are beautiful. We won’t cry anymore.”

“But I cry easily…”

He was a very weak person.

“Then try harder. That is your husband’s expectation of you,” Jiang Xusheng said softly.

Wang Shu rubbed his cheek against his husband’s palm and said obediently, “Okay.”

“Does the wound still hurt? If it doesn’t hurt, would you like to eat something? Can you?”

Wang Shu wasn’t actually hungry; his appetite had been terrible since he became pregnant.

But being coaxed, he didn’t want to be a spoilsport. He felt a little like acting spoiled, leaning into Jiang Xusheng’s embrace and rubbing his chest. “It hurts a lot…”

“Mr. Jiang, it really hurts…”

How could Jiang Xusheng not feel distressed? Being by his side yet repeatedly letting him get hurt and making his little wife cry was not his original intention for marrying Wang Shu.

Jiang Xusheng was about to call the doctor to come over again.

But Wang Shu clung to him, whimpering, “Hold me. If you hold me, I can eat.”

“You like to be spoiled this much?” Jiang Xusheng’s heart softened at his words. He picked the person up. “It’s very effective on me.”

It was very late. Wang Shu couldn’t eat much before bed, so he drank a small cup of honey water.

While Jiang Xusheng was making a phone call in the living room, the omega had already obediently settled into bed, clutching the edge of the blanket, waiting eagerly for his husband to return.

“Are you waiting for a story?” Jiang Xusheng returned and stroked his face.

There was nothing more appealing than a pregnant wife quietly waiting in bed for them to fall asleep together.

“Yes,” Wang Shu said expectantly.

The omega made room beside him and asked cautiously, “Can we today…” He was afraid that saying it would ruin the good impression, but Jiang Xusheng liked him to be honest. After thinking it over, he mustered the courage to ask, “Can you sleep with me?”

“Actually, when I can’t see, I’m a little afraid to be alone.”

Jiang Xusheng fell silent.

As a Beta, he couldn’t smell his wife’s sweet Pheromone, but that didn’t mean Wang Shu wasn’t alluring.

On the contrary, Jiang Xusheng was a physiologically normal man. Wang Shu had delicate, fair skin, a slightly protruding Pregnant Belly, and liked to cling to him and speak softly in a spoiled manner.

Jiang Xusheng didn’t think his self-control was that good.

He found it difficult to resist getting hard when facing his pregnant little wife.

Wang Shu didn’t hear his reply for a long time and felt a little disappointed. “It’s okay. I can sleep alone. It’s fine… I’m not afraid of the dark.”

Jiang Xusheng sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. He didn’t want to crush the confidence Wang Shu had just built up. “Then we’ll sleep together.”

“But my pajamas are a bit thin.”

Wang Shu didn’t quite understand what he meant. “Are you cold?” The air conditioning in the room was strong enough that he wouldn’t be cold even naked.

He lifted the blanket and patted the spot beside him. “If we share the blanket, we won’t be cold.”

Jiang Xusheng said, “It will poke you.”

“Huh?” Wang Shu didn’t understand his words.

But Jiang Xusheng had already gotten into the bed, picked up the storybook by the bedside, and prepared to read to him.

Wang Shu was very happy. Although he had slept for a long time in the afternoon, he always felt lethargic during pregnancy.

He cautiously moved closer to Jiang Xusheng, reached out to hug his waist, and wanted to lean his head against him. He felt very safe in Mr. Jiang’s chest.

However, when his calf brushed upward, he suddenly froze.

It was…

It was indeed quite pokey, and the fabric was too thin. The heat transferred to his calf, and Wang Shu’s face flushed as if he had been scalded.

Seeing that he was startled, Jiang Xusheng chuckled. “Do you still want to listen?”

Wang Shu mumbled, “Mhm…”

“Don’t act spoiled, don’t talk, and don’t move around,” Jiang Xusheng warned him. “Otherwise, your mouth will be punished.”

Wang Shu remembered their night together. He couldn’t bear the pain the second time, and Mr. Jiang had forcibly stopped midway to wipe away his tears.

He had been malnourished and experimented on since childhood, so his frame was small.

Wang Shu couldn’t understand why Mr. Jiang was so different from the Beta he had imagined.

Strong, powerful, and utterly dominating.

The story that night was The Little Mermaid.

“The prince was saved by the mermaid. To see him one last time, the mermaid drank the witch’s poison, losing her voice and growing legs. Even though every step felt like walking on knives, the mermaid had no regrets…”

“The mermaid’s singing was the most beautiful in her species, a voice many envied, but the mermaid willingly gave it up.”

“The mermaid loved the prince deeply, loving him even after only meeting him once.”

Wang Shu felt very sad listening to it. He asked, “How could the prince not recognize the mermaid he loved?”

Jiang Xusheng stroked his hair. “When the prince woke up, the mermaid was long gone. He didn’t see anything.”

Wang Shu felt the prince was a bit foolish, and he felt sad for the mermaid in that relationship.

He even felt that the love was not worth it.

Jiang Xusheng told him that was not the case. If love was tied to worth, it would become a transaction.

Love was not a business; it required willingness and no regrets.

Listening to Mr. Jiang tell him these things, Wang Shu felt a pang of bitterness. He thought—Mr. Jiang must be a passionate person to understand love so well and speak about it so eloquently.

He asked if there wasn’t a better ending to the story.

Jiang Xusheng said, perhaps in some corner of the world, the mermaid and the prince didn’t miss each other, and the blind prince and the mute mermaid lived together forever.

Wang Shu was amused by his sudden, darkly humorous description.

That night, he slept soundly.

No wonder children liked listening to stories. In his dream, he felt like he was on a beach, free from cages and experiments, walking on warm sand, holding hands with someone, and basking in the sun.

Wang Shu thought he would turn into a mermaid in the dream and swim. He felt he would become someone who would fight for love without hesitation.

In the dream, he was running, holding hands with his brother.

Piling up castles on the beach.

But Wang Shu couldn’t clearly see his brother’s face, just like the prince couldn’t recognize the mermaid—it was blurry…

–

He slept until the afternoon of the next day.

Wang Shu only woke up when he felt someone changing his dressing.

“Did I hurt you?” Jiang Xusheng asked.

Wang Shu shook his head. He felt his back neck being exposed, and Jiang Xusheng gave him an Inhibitor shot.

Now that the entire Wang Family factory belonged to him, these Inhibitors were in his hands.

The reason the raw materials from the Wang Family factory were so precious and difficult to replace on the market was that they came from human Pheromones, making them expensive and only circulating on the black market.

The omega Inhibitors were all mixed with the Pheromone of Subject 11 as an antibody, and the effect was excellent.

But since Subject 11 died after the failed extraction experiment, the remaining raw materials of the Wang Family could only produce less than eight thousand doses. After being sold over the years, very few of Subject 11’s Pheromone Inhibitors remained.

Wang Shu’s Gland finally felt less uncomfortable.

A cool sensation relieved the redness and swelling of the Gland itself.

Wang Shu’s injured area was re-dressed and bandaged. The pain was not intense, and he didn’t even feel pain.

Wang Shu asked, “Is this the Inhibitor from Uncle’s factory?”

Jiang Xusheng tossed the used syringe into the trash can, lifted the blanket, and held him in his arms. “No.”

“Are you adapting?” Jiang Xusheng held him. The difference in their body sizes was quite large. In this man’s arms, Wang Shu looked like a high school student. “Is there any discomfort?”

Wang Shu leaned lazily into his embrace. The pain in his limbs gradually subsided. Aside from feeling weak, his Gland was much more comfortable, and even his vision became clearer; he could see the outline of the lamp.

Jiang Xusheng pressed the back of his neck. “Does it really not hurt?”

“Mhm,” Wang Shu tilted his head back. “Really.”

“Is your scent in the air? What is the concentration?” Jiang Xusheng asked.

Betas couldn’t smell Pheromones. Yesterday, he only learned from the doctor that the Pheromone concentration in the room had been off the charts.

Wang Shu obediently sniffed. “It smells like me… but it’s not as strong as yesterday.”

Jiang Xusheng suddenly teased him, asking, “Oh, was it very strong before?”

“Yes, it was very strong before the shot.”

“Do you still need me to help you with the injection in the future?” Jiang Xusheng leaned close to his ear and gently bit it. “As long as you say you need it.”

“I need it… I…” Of course, I need you to help me. You give injections very well.

Wang Shu’s words caught in his throat. He seemed to understand the meaning of the man’s teasing tone, and his face instantly turned red.

“You’re bullying me!” Wang Shu buried his face directly into his shoulder, too embarrassed to look up.

Jiang Xusheng smiled and pinched his thigh. “This counts as bullying?”

He didn’t have much flesh on him, and what little he had was soft. A pinch made the soft flesh tremble slightly, leaving red finger marks. “How did you become so delicate?”

“Don’t bully me, don’t…” Wang Shu’s voice was soft and spoiled. “I’m a little scared.”

“I’m scared too,” Jiang Xusheng said helplessly.

“What are you scared of?” Wang Shu was afraid his clumsy behavior would make his husband dislike him.

“I’m scared of you acting spoiled.” Jiang Xusheng’s palm pressed against his Pregnant Belly. “You still want to be a father like this? Your calls make my heart melt.”

Wang Shu pursed his lips, looking at Jiang Xusheng’s outline through his blurry vision. He leaned over and kissed the man’s cheek. “You are the baby’s father too.”

With a pop, Jiang Xusheng felt an uncomfortable hardness. He had just taken care of himself early this morning. He was thirty-four this year, the peak age for a man, and his needs were great.

Guarding Wang Shu was much harder than he had imagined.

Exquisite, temptress—these words weren’t quite suitable for describing a male, but they fit an omega perfectly.

His little wife was too alluring, but the doctor said he could only enter him during the Heat after five months.

One month, such a long time.
