The cool beauty forcibly bids for top A: Chapter 54

In the dead of night, the sounds coming from the master bedroom just one wall away could no longer be described as merely absurd. The young Omega’s cloying pleas gradually changed pitch, becoming broken sobs mixed with extreme pain and fear, tearing at the quiet night.

“Sister-in-law, I’m right here in front of you, and you still have the mind to listen to the sounds from next door?” In the darkness, Fu Sizhou lifted the corner of the quilt, wrapped his arm around Shen Yanzhou’s slender waist, and pressed intimately against his side.

“I wasn’t listening. Get out of here.” Shen Yanzhou lowered his voice, his eyes showing thin anger at being violated.

Fu Sizhou didn’t leave at all. Instead, he pressed even closer without restraint, his chest almost fitting perfectly against him. He let out a low laugh, and the vibration from his chest traveled through the fabric where their bodies touched, burning so much that Shen Yanzhou’s heart trembled.

“Sister-in-law doesn’t need to feel embarrassed.” Fu Sizhou’s dark eyes looked at his slightly trembling long lashes. “That old thing is getting on in years. The closer he gets to the grave, the more he needs these dirty, shameful methods to prove to others that he isn’t useless yet. So he drank some of that hardcore drug.”

Fu Sizhou’s fingers idly traced through Shen Yanzhou’s smooth silver-gray hair: “The side effect of that drug is that it causes extremely strong sexual violence tendencies. And he happens to enjoy tormenting people… That new lover next door is probably in for a rough night.”

Shen Yanzhou’s breath caught.

He couldn’t control the image that surfaced in his mind. That little Omega from the evening, cupping his face in both hands, his watery eyes looking at him with pure and fervent admiration. Only in his early twenties, fresh as a flower, yet on that bed, having to endure the sick torment of a man decades older than him.

Fu Sizhou keenly caught the change in his eyes.

“Sister-in-law.” The man’s slightly cool fingertips pinched Shen Yanzhou’s delicate, fragile chin, forcing him to turn his face around. “On such a charming night, with me in sister-in-law’s bed, you’re still thinking about other people’s business?”

Shen Yanzhou frowned, forced to tilt his head back. His long, elegant swan neck drew out a fragile arc, and he coldly met Fu Sizhou’s gaze: “This is my room. What I think about is none of your business.”

Fu Sizhou leaned in extremely close. His tall nose brushed against Shen Yanzhou’s nose, and his burning breath sprayed entirely onto his slightly parted lips. He suddenly shifted topics, his voice low and hoarse: “Sister-in-law, why did you watch me shower that day?”

Shen Yanzhou said coldly: “I just wanted to see what you looked like. I should at least know what my neighbor across the way looks like.”

“Oh?” Fu Sizhou’s fingertips rubbed ambiguously against the flushed red corners of Shen Yanzhou’s eyes. “Then why, after looking at my face, did you still want to look at that part of me?”

Shen Yanzhou: “…”

Why? Of course it was to confirm whether every physical feature on his body was exactly the same as that man he had spent thirty million to keep in the mid-level villa.

But he couldn’t say those words out loud.

Shen Yanzhou turned his head away, avoiding his scorching touch, his tone carrying a cool, proud reserve: “Just looking around. You shower without closing the door, and you’re afraid of people watching?”

“So it was just looking around.” Fu Sizhou suddenly lowered his head, burying his face into Shen Yanzhou’s neck hollow, rubbing against him like a wronged big dog: “But sister-in-law, that day I was actually shy.”

He deliberately dragged out the final syllable, his warm, wet lips brushing faintly against the pulsing artery on the side of Shen Yanzhou’s neck: “At that time my mind was full of fear… afraid that you would think that part of me looked ugly, or afraid that I would scare you.”

“Fu Sizhou! You—”

Shen Yanzhou naturally caught the hidden meaning in his words. He raised his hand, wanting to push the man on top of him away.

But his wrist was caught midair by Fu Sizhou.

The man’s palm was broad, rough, and burning hot. He lowered his head, kissing that reddened palm, and asked hoarsely: “Did your hand hurt when you hit that scumbag?”

The place where he had kissed felt like an electric shock. Shen Yanzhou bit his lower lip and pulled his hand back: “It didn’t hurt! Let go!”

“Since it didn’t hurt, then help me out.” Fu Sizhou not only didn’t let go of his hand, but instead guided Shen Yanzhou’s hand, following his firm, taut abdominal muscles, probing downward under the quilt.

“What are you doing? Why are you doing this?”

The astonishing heat transmitted to his palm made Shen Yanzhou’s cool face flush red. His coldly gorgeous eye corners were forced out with humiliated tears, his lashes trembling violently.

“You’re crazy!” Shen Yanzhou desperately tried to break free, but that pitiful bit of strength was nothing but a turn-on in front of a top-tier Alpha.

“Shh—” Fu Sizhou pressed against the back of his hand, pressing down hard on that spot in a punishing way, looking at the person in his arms staring at him with a mix of grievance and anger.

Fu Sizhou’s pitch-black eyes surged with intense lust and sick jealousy. Pressing against his ear, he said ambiguously: “Between mine and my brother’s, which do you like better?”

Shen Yanzhou curled his fingers, wanting to pull his hand back, but could only be held firmly in place, forced to feel it.

Seeing him not speaking, only wanting to resist, Fu Sizhou continued murmuring in Shen Yanzhou’s ear: “Or is it that sister-in-law actually finds him disgusting, and these pretty hands of yours have only ever touched mine, never touched his?”

Another shrill scream came from next door.

Shen Yanzhou’s heartbeat was so fast it nearly burst through his chest. The heat under his palm was so burning it made his whole body go soft. He could only use his most powerless identity to remind this madman, his voice trembling: “Let go of my hand. I’m your brother’s fiancee!”

“No.” Fu Sizhou refused with perfect confidence. Not only did he not have the slightest moral burden, but he was so excited his breathing grew several degrees heavier. With one hand he easily pinned both of Shen Yanzhou’s wrists behind his back.

“Not only am I not letting go, I’m going to touch sister-in-law too.”

“How dare you—mmph!”

Before Shen Yanzhou’s warning could leave his mouth, Fu Sizhou’s lips had already found with extreme precision the most sensitive spot on the back of Shen Yanzhou’s neck. It was his gland, a place he normally wouldn’t even let others touch.

The man’s cool lips and burning tongue alternated, sucking hard and licking on that cold white, delicate soft flesh, even using his sharp canine teeth to lightly grind and bite. Then he extremely skillfully slipped under the hem of his silk pajamas.

“Just this much. As long as you don’t make a sound, no one will find out.” Fu Sizhou’s breathing grew heavier and heavier. “But if sister-in-law loudly resists and refuses right now…”

“Not only will it probably draw that perverted old man from next door over, but tomorrow morning, everyone will also see that on sister-in-law’s glowing white neck, I’ve left such deep hickeys.”

“Fu…” Shen Yanzhou bit his lower lip, swallowing back the gasps and whimpers that were about to spill out.

Because of extreme shame, anger, and the uncontrollable tingling sensations in his body, his snow-white chest heaved violently. The physiological tears at the corners of his eyes finally couldn’t bear the weight and slid down, disappearing into his temples.

The man’s long, powerful fingers traveled upward along Shen Yanzhou’s flexible waistline. The rough texture of his palm rubbed against that tender skin that almost seemed like it could squeeze out water.

In the darkness, Fu Sizhou let out a satisfied, sighing low laugh. He raised his head, kissing away the teardrops at the corner of Shen Yanzhou’s eyes, his voice hoarse: “Sister-in-law, your hand is so small, and so soft.”

“From now on, only touch mine alone, okay?” The top-tier Alpha’s mint scent, like damp vines, completely wrapped around Shen Yanzhou, making even his breath carry the other person’s smell.

Shen Yanzhou’s chest heaved violently. His silk pajamas were already in disarray from the entanglement, large swaths of cold white skin exposed to the air, already rubbed into patches of alluring redness by the man’s rough palm. He looked at the man looming over him: “Madman… you’re a madman!”

“Yes, I’m a madman.” Fu Sizhou laughed lowly, because—

In another room next door, Fu Sihan who had been beaten up pretty badly by him was buried in the quilt, dead drunk and unconscious. And right now, he was buried in his fiancee’s clothes, gently kissing every inch of his body.

“Sister-in-law, we’re just touching each other.”

“Just touching each other. My brother won’t find out.”

***

When Shen Yanzhou fell asleep, he had completely lost track. And by the time he woke up, Fu Sizhou was already gone, just as silently as when he had slipped in during the night.

After washing up, Shen Yanzhou pulled open the door with a cold face. The little Omega who had been as fresh as a flower in the evening yesterday also dragged his feet out.

Just one night had passed, and that young, vibrant face was written all over with pallor. The loose high-collared robe couldn’t hide the shocking blue and purple bruises on his neck and behind his ears. Even his standing posture betrayed an uncontrollable trembling.

Seeing Shen Yanzhou come out, the little Omega flinched, quickly lowered his head, used his hand to pull his collar together, and squeezed out a forced, ingratiating smile on his pale face: “Brother Yanzhou, you’re awake… would you like to go downstairs for breakfast together?”

Shen Yanzhou’s gaze swept over the brutal marks at his collar. The mournful sobs from next door last night were unavoidable in his mind.

He shook his head: “No need. I’m going straight to the company.”

After saying this, he walked forward.

But after only a few steps, Shen Yanzhou’s footsteps paused. Then he turned around, pulled out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit, and held it out before the little Omega.

Shen Yanzhou’s gaze fell on his scar-covered neck. “You’re still young. Don’t play games with your body. This is the number of a private doctor I know well. He is very discreet. You can contact him anytime.”

The little Omega was stunned.

He received that business card carrying a faint floral scent with both hands, his voice as tiny as a mosquito’s buzz, carrying deep self-loathing and humiliation: “Brother Yanzhou, do you think… someone like me is very cheap?”

For money, for power and influence, willingly climbing into an old man’s bed, enduring that inhuman torment like a plaything without dignity.

“You think you’re cheap because you feel like you’re selling yourself.” Shen Yanzhou said lightly. “But in this circle, everyone seems to be selling something with a clear price tag. Some sell marriage, some sell conscience. It’s just a transaction where each gets what they need, as long as you get what you want.”

“So, what’s wrong with someone like you? Just next time, remember to ask for higher stakes. Don’t suffer for nothing.”

The little Omega raised his eyes, looking at him with some astonishment.

Shen Yanzhou didn’t say anything more, turning toward the stairs. However, when he turned the corner of the staircase, Shen Yanzhou fell silent.

That little Omega and the old man of the Fu family at least had a proper, aboveboard contract of patronage. It was a transaction where each got what they needed.

And what about him?

As Fu Sihan’s fiancee whose engagement banquet was about to be held, last night he had actually spent an entire night in bed with his nominal future brother-in-law, doing that kind of thing.

***

In the evening, Shen Yanzhou finished a grueling seven-hour marathon of meetings. He rubbed his still faintly aching brow, slightly loosening his tie that had been knotted tightly. If one wasn’t careful, they would notice under his shirt were hidden many shameful red marks that couldn’t see the light of day.

Leaving the conference room and walking toward the elevator, two female employees from the public relations department ahead of him were carrying briefcases, lowering their voices and chatting warmly about personal matters.

“Your ex-boyfriend is still bothering you? That’s seriously like a lingering ghost. You can’t shake him off no matter what.”

“Isn’t he! He’s practically a psycho! Sending me hundreds of messages every day, asking if I’ve eaten, what I’m doing. When it rains he insists on waiting downstairs for me like his life depends on it. I block him and he calls from a different number. This isn’t dating at all!”

“Oh my god, for dealing with this kind of person, the cold shoulder absolutely won’t work. The more you ignore him, the more he thinks you’re testing him. He might even get completely triggered.” The other girl offered advice with great seriousness, lowering her voice. “The simplest and most direct method is to shift his attention, give him something else to do. Quickly ask your friends to introduce him to a few prettier, better-qualified blind dates. Deep down these men are all greedy for fresh meat. As long as he falls for someone new, has new bones to chew on, and tastes new sweetness, naturally he won’t have time to bother you anymore.”

“Ding—”

As the elevator opened, Shen Yanzhou walked into the dim elevator car, his cold, gorgeous phoenix eyes slightly narrowing.

Facing a man who wouldn’t leave him alone, why was he exhausting himself here? Most likely this man had just gone through a breakup, missing companionship, and had absurdly wanted to use him as an outlet.

Thinking back to last night, the abnormal amount that filled his hand… he probably hadn’t relieved himself in a very long time.

And thinking back to last night, the way that man had taken all of his… into his mouth.

Shen Yanzhou increasingly felt that this matter couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Fu Sizhou had just returned to Hong Kong and his foundation wasn’t stable yet. The old man of the Fu family had already intended to arrange a marriage alliance for him. As long as he, the “sister-in-law,” used the connections in his hands to find a few top-tier Omegas from distinguished families with outstanding looks for this co-president, and pushed them his way.

Once Fu Sizhou’s attention was diverted by new prey, this absurd and shameful relationship could naturally come to a dignified end.

Having figured this out, Shen Yanzhou’s originally restless thoughts calmed down.

He walked out of the elevator, heading toward his black Maybach. The garage was so damp and cold from the storm outside that it felt like water could be wrung from the air.

Shen Yanzhou had just reached his parking spot when his footsteps stopped. Fu Sizhou was standing in front of his car.

He didn’t know how long he had been standing outside in the rain just now. His suit was darkened by the moisture. His chestnut-colored bangs hung wetly over his forehead, even still dripping water. He lounged lazily against the Rolls Royce door, playing with the car keys in his hand.

Hearing footsteps, Fu Sizhou raised his eyes.

“Why are you here?” Shen Yanzhou stopped two steps away from him, saying coldly.

Fu Sizhou straightened up, letting water droplets slide down his tall nose bridge. He took a step closer to Shen Yanzhou.

“I sent you so many messages, asking if you ate well at noon, asking what you wanted for dinner… you didn’t reply to a single one.”

Shen Yanzhou looked coldly at him playing the pity card: “I’m very busy. I don’t have time to look at my phone. And, I should have made myself very clear yesterday. Last time.”

“Yes, sister-in-law did say that. That was your last time giving me a ride.” Fu Sizhou nodded in deep agreement, but the smile at the corners of his lips grew deeper and deeper. “So from now on, it’s my turn to pick sister-in-law up and drop her off for work.”

“No need.” Shen Yanzhou refused without mercy.

“Fu Sizhou, whether it’s what happened last night or what happened a few days ago, I’m treating it all as if it never happened. It was just an absurd accident. Once we step out that door, it ends right there.”

“I don’t care what you’re trying to do, but I don’t want others to think there’s something unclear between us. Get out of the way.”

Hearing the words “something unclear,” the pretense of docility in Fu Sizhou’s eyes instantly vanished without a trace.

He didn’t step aside. Instead, he took a large step forward.

“Something unclear?” Fu Sizhou lowered his head. His wet bangs nearly brushed against Shen Yanzhou’s nose tip. He looked at Shen Yanzhou’s thin lips that always spoke such hurtful words.

“Sister-in-law, get in the car.” Fu Sizhou’s voice was extremely low.

Shen Yanzhou turned his face away: “I said, I don’t need you to”

“If sister-in-law doesn’t want me to kiss you right here, then get in the car obediently.”

Fu Sizhou interrupted him. His rough, cool fingertips touched Shen Yanzhou’s lower lip, rubbing hard. “The garage cameras should be filming very clearly. If you don’t get in the car, I guarantee that tomorrow morning, all of Hong Kong’s media will receive a video of us kissing. At that point, people won’t think there’s something unclear between us anymore…”

Fu Sizhou pressed against his ear, laughing lowly: “They’ll see crystal clear how sister-inlaw was pressed against the hood of the car by his nominal brother-in-law and kissed in the garage.”

Truly, a mad dog with no moral bottom line.

Shen Yanzhou coldly swatted his hand away, pulled open the passenger door, and sat inside.

Seeing him get in the car, Fu Sizhou quickly circled back to the driver’s seat, shut the door neatly, turned his head, and looked at Shen Yanzhou’s tense profile. Gently, he pulled the seatbelt over and buckled it for him:

“Sister-in-law, rest assured. My driving skills aren’t that bad. I’ll get you home safely.”

The Rolls Royce’s soundproofing was excellent. Inside the car it was very quiet. Only the dull sound of the wipers scraping across the windshield could be heard.

Shen Yanzhou turned his head, looking at the man in the driver’s seat who was completely soaked through, even his hair dripping water.

“Why did you come here exactly?” Shen Yanzhou asked.

Fu Sizhou didn’t rush to start the car. He casually wiped away a water droplet falling from his jaw, turned his head, and stared at Shen Yanzhou for a while: “Has my brother ever picked you up from work in a storm like this?”

“Fu Sizhou.” Shen Yanzhou’s brows locked even tighter. “You’re now the Fu Consortium’s co-president. Every day you have endless meetings and reports to read. You’re so busy, so why are you wasting your time on me like some stalker?”

“Because the rain was falling too hard. I wasn’t at ease.” Fu Sizhou withdrew his gaze, casually gripping the steering wheel.

He had actually been waiting in this garage for a full two hours. He knew Shen Yanzhou was a complete workaholic. In Shen Yanzhou’s world, power and profit always came first. So he didn’t dare go upstairs to disturb his meeting. He also knew that because of his overstepping boundaries, Shen Yanzhou absolutely didn’t want to see his face right now.

His work was indeed very busy. He had many meetings to attend tonight, and he didn’t know if he could squeeze out time to rest today. But in his eyes, nothing was more important than matters concerning Shen Yanzhou.

“I don’t need you to be at ease.” Shen Yanzhou looked coldly at the rain curtain ahead. “I already made myself very clear downstairs just now. I don’t want others to think there’s something unclear between us.”

“But sister-in-law…” Fu Sizhou stepped on the gas pedal, and the Rolls Royce smoothly exited the garage, sliding into the torrential downpour. He looked at Shen Yanzhou’s pale, coldly gorgeous face, smiling yet not smiling: “I happen to want others to think there’s something unclear between us.”

“You’re completely unreasonable.” Shen Yanzhou took a deep breath, turning his head to look at him. “I don’t know what your purpose is in doing all this. But I can see that your relationship with your brother is terrible, even to the point of being irreconcilable.”

“But you really don’t need to deliberately use me to cuckold him just to get revenge. This kind of tactic that hurts both sides isn’t necessary at all.”

Fu Sizhou’s hand gripping the steering wheel suddenly tightened. The air pressure inside the car instantly dropped to freezing point.

“Use?” Fu Sizhou laughed in anger. He turned his face to look at him.

“So in sister-in-law’s eyes, me coming to pick you up in the rain, and what I did to you last night, was all just to use you to disgust Fu Sihan?”

Shen Yanzhou said coldly: “What else?”

Fu Sizhou looked at him, letting out a self-mocking low laugh. He turned the steering wheel, and the car didn’t head toward Shen Yanzhou’s villa, but instead turned onto an unfamiliar coastal overpass that Shen Yanzhou didn’t recognize at all.

“You took the wrong road. Why are you going this way?” Shen Yanzhou grew alert.

“You’ll know in a moment.”

The car drove for quite a while. Suddenly, Fu Sizhou raised his chin, signaling Shen Yanzhou to look at a black Bentley ahead in the rain curtain.

“Look at that car up ahead.”

“That’s my brother’s license plate.”

Shen Yanzhou frowned. Through the rain-blurred windshield, he indeed made out that extremely flashy matching-number license plate.

“So what?”

“Doesn’t sister-in-law want to know, where that hypocrite brother of mine who is all talk about morality and ethics goes after work, when he doesn’t pick up his fiancee who is about to get engaged?”

“Don’t want to know.” Shen Yanzhou’s answer was clean and decisive. He truly didn’t have the slightest curiosity or jealousy. “I only care about the Shen Group. His private life has nothing to do with me. Stop the car. I want to go back.”

But Fu Sizhou didn’t listen to him. Not only did he not slow down, but he pressed the accelerator even deeper, continuously closing the distance with the Bentley ahead.

“Sister-in-law, do you believe in religion?” Fu Sizhou’s hands gripped the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the car ahead. “If I remember correctly, sister-in-law should believe in Buddhism, right?”

“What are you trying to say?” Seeing the speed on the dashboard continuously increasing, Shen Yanzhou’s face changed.

“I lived in America for a period of time before.” Fu Sizhou said lightly: “There are many people there who believe in Christianity. In their doctrine, there’s a very interesting rule. I wonder if you’ve heard of it?”

“In Mosaic law, it seems to say something like this. If the older brother dies, the younger brother can naturally and rightfully marry his sister-in-law.”

He turned his head, his gaze deeply locking onto Shen Yanzhou’s eyes: “Tell me… should I just crash into him right now?”

Before his words even fell, Fu Sizhou’s right foot slammed the accelerator to the floor, driving straight toward the rear of the Bentley ahead.

“Fu Sizhou, I won’t allow it. Killing people is against the law.”

Shen Yanzhou’s eyes widened. Instinctively he reached to grab the steering wheel from his hands.

Just when there was less than half a meter left before rear-ending, when Shen Yanzhou could already completely make out the Bentley’s rear emblem, the car stopped.

It happened to be a red light at the intersection ahead.

The two cars, separated by less than half a meter, stopped together at the traffic light in the pouring rain, side by side.

Inside the car it was deathly silent. Only Shen Yanzhou’s violent gasping from extreme terror could be heard. Cold sweat soaked through the back of Shen Yanzhou’s shirt, sending a shiver through him.

He turned his head in lingering fear. Through the rain-streaked window, he could faintly make out beside the Bentley, next to Fu Sihan, sitting a petite Omega figure.

That was his nominal fiance.

But Shen Yanzhou’s mind was entirely on Fu Sizhou.

“You madman.” Shen Yanzhou said angrily.

However, the man beside him didn’t respond. He glanced at the red light timer, then suddenly wrapped one arm around Shen Yanzhou’s vulnerable nape, pulling him toward himself.

In Shen Yanzhou’s surprised gaze, Fu Sizhou turned his face and kissed his thin lips.

His kiss was very light. The instant their lips met, his tongue only lightly pressed against Shen Yanzhou’s lip seam. Then, bit by bit, he pried open the defense line. After probing in, he gently but deeply entangled with his soft little tongue, slowly sucking and twining.

But in the next instant, he was bitten hard by Shen Yanzhou.

He bit very hard, his teeth precisely sinking into Fu Sizhou’s lower lip, carrying anger. The taste of blood instantly spread between their entangled lips and teeth.

Fu Sizhou’s breath caught. When he pushed away, he discovered that Shen Yanzhou looked beautiful yet disheveled, angry yet enticing. That bit of tearlight at the corner of his eyes flickered, about to fall, yet he bit his lower lip hard, refusing to show weakness.

He raised his hand to wipe away the blood, smiling as he looked at Shen Yanzhou, saying gently: “How could I really crash into him?”

“You’re in my car… how could I bear to let you suffer even the slightest injury?”

But when his gaze swept toward Fu Sihan sitting in the car beside them, his face changed, and his voice turned cold as well:

“But sister-in-law, I want to tell you. Even if I have to kill him, I will be with you.”
