Limited Possession

Just have to find a way to drive him to give his heart out

In addition to the fact that he was actually mumbling to himself, Tu Yan’s voice was muffled by the quilt. Gu Chenbai seemed like he didn’t hear it clearly. He leaned down, patted Tu Yan’s waist over the quilt and asked, “What did you say?”

Tu Yan was aware of his indiscreet remark, and immediately straightened his neck as he shouted, “I said, I wouldn’t know whatever your rut period is, it doesn’t have anything to do with me anyway!”

Gu Chenbai chuckled, “I didn’t say it had anything to do with you, I just dreamt that you had come.”

Tu Yan was silent. After a long time, he heard Gu Chenbai say, “I know you wouldn’t come.”

Inside the quilt, Tu Yan suddenly slammed the bed. Gu Chenbai asked him calmly, “What do you want for dinner? I saw on the medical record that you have serious pregnancy vomiting, let’s have a light meal, okay?”

Every sentence he said was intentionally avoiding the name “Tu Bao”. 

This made Tu Yan panic. 

In the past, Gu Chenbai always expressed his love for Tu Yan without a single bit of stinginess. The sense of security he gave Tu Yan was so filled that it was airtight. It was so good that when Tu Yan turned to like it, up until their divorce, he had never thought that one day Gu Chenbai could take back his exclusive nickname so easily, then take back the love that had no bottom line. 

Tu Yan thought that he had the final say in everything. 

What Gu Chaocheng said was right. Tu Yan wasn’t the only omega who played in youth films. 

Now that they were already divorced, Gu Chenbai wouldn’t continue to love him. He would walk away from this wasteful and meaningless half-year marriage, forget about Tu Yan, and welcome his new life. 

Tu Yan suddenly cried. His tears rolled down very quietly without making a sound, but Gu Chenbai could feel it. He peeled down the quilt from over Tu Yan’s head and looked down at the little person’s face covered with tears. Unable to bear it, he pulled him out and wrapped him in his arms, coaxing him as he patted his back. At the moment when Tu Yan was enveloped with Gu Chenbai’s pheromones, he cried more fiercely, That gentleness that returned made him collapse. From the trickling of tears to kicking and crying his eyes out, he only stopped after a long time. 

The front of Gu Chenbai’s lapel became wet from Tu Yan’s tears. He waited until Tu Yan calmed down before loosening his hold and putting Tu Yan back into bed. After Tu Yan vented, he felt a little ashamed. He turned his face to pull out a tissue from the head of the bed, his tone awkward as he said, “I cried because of the hormonal imbalance, not because of you.”

“Mm, I know,” Gu Chenbai wasn’t annoyed. He reached over to cover Tu Yan with the quilt, tucking his two exposed legs back inside, then he spoke with a meaningless tone, “If the child’s biological father was here, his pheromones should be able to comfort you well.” 

Tu Yan’s hand that was holding the tissue went still, his whole body froze in place.

“What?”

Gu Chenbai didn’t go on and only leaned on the walking stick to stand up before heading towards the door, “If you don’t want to eat something light, I’ll make you a small hot pot. Do you want to eat beef pot or lamb pot?”

“Gu Chenbai!”

Gu Chenbai paused and turned around to look at Tu Yan, his expression as gentle as before, but it was unfamiliar to Tu Yan. 

“Tu Yan, have you forgotten that we’re already divorced?” 

“I didn’t forget.” Tu Yan said while staring into Gu Chenbai’s eyes. 

“We got divorced on the first of december. Today is the 22nd of January. Which also means that we’ve been divorced for 53 days,” Gu Chenbai turned back and walked up to the head of Tu Yan’s bed. He leaned down in an oppressive manner, reaching over to caress Tu Yan’s stomach and continued, “You have the freedom to be with someone else, and also have the freedom to allow others to enter your reproductive cavity, so I’m not qualified to say anything. But Tu Yan, it’s impossible that I wouldn’t even have a little bit of temper.” 

Tu Yan stared at him blankly, unable to say a word. 

“It’s roughly been conceived around the few days after the divorce, but we didn’t meet during those few days, did we?” 

Tu Yan opened his mouth, the words that he wanted to blurt out rushed to his lips but were stopped. 

Gu Chenbai withdrew his hand and shook his head in self-mockery, “Unless the dream I had during my rut that day was real.”

Tu Yan felt that whatever he wanted to say in his mind was about to leave his mouth. He really wanted to say them out; he could clearly say them, but the guard he had built around himself for such a long time made him afraid of being bare. 

Once a person who wears a mask for a long time speaks the truth from their heart, they will be looked down upon by others. 

Tu Yan’s friends were all like that; they took his sincere words to laugh at him behind his back, and everyone liked to joke about him. 

Gu Chenbai would too. 

The Tu Yan that he liked from the youth films was as proud as a white swan. He fell in love at first sight at that Tu Yan. 

If he knew that Tu Yan was fragile, cowardly, unable to control his emotions, pretended to be mature, pretended to be cold and aloof, and in fact the ugly duckling who would subconsciously hide in the corner, he wouldn’t like Tu Yan that much anymore. 

He bit firmly onto the soft flesh in his mouth, his heart beating unevenly. 

Gu Chenbai was still being overbearing, “But I’m still really puzzled, Tu Yan, why did you want me to help you pass your heat with you? Is it really just an appointment?”

Tu Yan lowered his head. He missed the chance to retort and didn’t know where he should begin. 

Gu Chenbai pulled out the tissue from Tu Yan’s hand and wiped his tears for him. The reddened rims of Tu Yan’s eyes caused a prickling pain in Gu Chenbai. He took a deep breath, suppressed his impulse to comfort, turned around and left. 

He picked up the phone on the dining table, sent a few texts, and half a minute later, a reply came.

The respondent was Ruan Nanqing, the third miss of HT group. 

　　【He can eat beef hot pot, onion, ginger, garlic, chili, as long as it’s not too spicy or oily. Pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, and nutritional balance.】

　　【Bro……pregnant people don’t need to avoid so many things.】

　　【Gu Chenbai, there are hundreds of thousands of omega pregnancies all over the world every day, why is it that only your wife is so delicate?】

After blanching the vegetables, Gu Chenbai wiped his hands and picked up his phone, typing quickly. 

　　【My little rabbit is originally delicate.】

　　【Heh heh, bye!】

　　【Oh yes, Nanqing, he can’t cry too often now, right?】

　　【Why do you want to make him cry? You’re willing to?】

　　【Of course I’m not willing to.】

　I just have to find a way to drive him to give his heart out.
