Chapter 42 Violent Aesthetics: Yandere Male Ghost Top VS Arrogant, Sharp-tongued, Wealthy Human Bott
"elder brother……"
After finishing cooking, Shang Shi walked into the living room and found Jiang Xiyu resting on the sofa.
He glanced at it and called out gently, "Brother, dinner's ready, I've finished cooking."
Jiang Xiyu wasn't really asleep; she was just thinking about something. Upon hearing this, she opened her eyes and cast a half-believing, half-doubting look at Shang Shi.
"So fast? Is it edible? Do you know how to cook it?"
Shang Shi nodded obediently, smiling as she reached out to help him. "Yes, I can cook. I've been making it for you for the past three days, and you always say it's delicious."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
For three days, which felt no different from being possessed, Jiang Xiyu had no idea what she ate.
But he did feel that he was starving after he regained consciousness.
Even raising his hand would make him feel tired, and if he made any bigger movements, his vision would go black, not to mention his mind, which would be a complete mess.
Since he couldn't reach a conclusion, Jiang Xiyu decided to fill his stomach first.
So Jiang Xiyu let Shang Shi help her to the dining table.
Shang Shi's mind was not on eating at all. Watching Jiang Xiyu eat, he felt as if his feet were walking on cotton, which felt very unreal.
There was no argument or outburst of anger as I had imagined.
Shang Shi suddenly chuckled to himself.
They looked as if they had dug up all the wild vegetables in the entire Jiangcheng.
He completely forgot about his own meal, serving Jiang Xiyu food and piling it on his cheek, asking with a hint of anticipation, "Is it good, brother?"
Jiang Xiyu clicked her tongue, "Don't look at me, just eat your food."
Shang replied calmly, "I can't eat that much."
Jiang Xiyu frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shang Shi seemed to be waiting for him to ask this question.
He gave Jiang Xiyu a meaningful look, and after a long while, he said without batting an eye, "My mouth is a little sore, it will hurt when I eat."
Jiang Xiyu got goosebumps all over from his shy and timid gaze.
The next second, a white light suddenly flashed through my mind, and fragmented images flashed by.
Jiang Xiyu realized this, and her hand holding the chopsticks trembled, turning red-hot.
"..."
Damn it, I shouldn't have asked.
After dinner, Jiang Xiyu and Shang Shi went to the living room.
The atmosphere was somewhat serious because no one spoke.
Instead of sitting on the sofa, Shang Shi knelt quietly beside the coffee table, waiting for Jiang Xiyu to speak.
His expression showed a mixture of nervousness, anticipation, and unease.
Jiang Xiyu was extremely troubled and frustrated by this.
He really didn't know how to bring it up.
He could neither pretend it never happened, nor could he ignore it.
He is a very traditional person.
Truly, there is no more traditional old man in the entire divine realm than him.
You know what, once he found out what had happened between him and Shang Shi, he didn't actually think about running away; he just couldn't accept it for a while.
Moreover, given the outcome and the meaning behind Chapter 00, Jiang Xiyu truly believed that it was his drunken lapse that led to this situation.
Therefore, he could only swallow his anger and suffer such a huge loss.
Jiang Xiyu hesitated for a moment, met Shang Shi's gaze, and asked, "Is there anything you want?"
Shang Shi blinked slowly, and after realizing what was happening, smiled at Jiang Xiyu: "Whatever you want, will brother give it to you?"
"Don't go too far," Jiang Xiyu reminded him.
"..." Shang Shi extinguished the flame that was about to burst forth, and tentatively asked, unwilling to give up, "How much would it be considered excessive for you, brother?"
Shang Shi somewhat understood Jiang Xiyu's meaning, and he began to think about how he could gain a proper status.
“Shang Shi,” Jiang Xiyu said with a hint of helplessness.
"Brother, do you not want to take responsibility for me? Is that why you're trying to fob me off with something else?" Shang Shi's lips trembled as she stammered, revealing Jiang Xiyu's true thoughts.
“I know, my brother doesn’t like Alphas.”
"But I don't want anything else, I want to be with you, brother."
Shang Shi shuffled closer to Jiang Xiyu, placing himself in an extremely humble position, and his eyes visibly moistened as he looked up.
His eyes welled up with tears again, looking pitiful like a puppy that knew it was about to be abandoned by its owner.
Jiang Xiyu sighed and rubbed his forehead. He couldn't help but wonder if Shang Shi was made of a sponge, always managing to squeeze out a couple of cat tears at the most inopportune moments when he wanted to play the victim.
But what he feared most was Shang Shi's indifference to tears.
It makes him seem like a scumbag who slept with a respectable woman but doesn't want to take responsibility.
Although he really, really didn't want to be responsible for an Alpha...
He wanted to say, "You're not an omega, you won't get pregnant, and besides, it's his own fault for doing *that*."
But Jiang Xiyu was afraid that if she said such things, Shang Shi would talk even more recklessly.
"You know, Qin Mu and I were originally engaged..." Jiang Xiyu hesitated, trying to make Shang Shi understand.
Shang Shi lowered his eyes, his expression suddenly turning cold. Then he looked at Jiang Xiyu and chuckled softly, saying, "We're not engaged yet, so this doesn't count."
This is indeed causing him a lot of distress.
Shang Shi murmured, "As long as my brother doesn't get engaged to him, that's fine."
His tone was dejected, but a morbid excitement was secretly rising within him.
If he absolutely had to get engaged, he wouldn't mind letting that omega see it with his own eyes.
He belongs to Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu must also belong to him.
No one can interfere.
Seeing his reddened, obsessive expression, Jiang Xiyu felt a sudden surge of inexplicable helplessness.
The next second, a sudden weight pressed down on my knee.
Shang Shi knelt even closer to Jiang Xiyu, placing his hands on Jiang Xiyu's knees and rubbing his chin affectionately against the back of his hands.
He smiled and said in a spoiled tone, "Brother, you have to take responsibility for me."
"Don't get engaged to him, marry me instead, okay? Please?"
What he needed was Jiang Xiyu's pity.
Jiang Xiyu stared at him intently, choosing not to answer Shang Shi directly.
Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but recall what Qin Muyuan had told him last time. After a long while, he made up his mind and confessed to Shang Shi: "In the family, the prerequisite for me to obtain the right of inheritance is that I must marry an omega."
“Grandpa... only allows me to have sex with an omega, that’s his bottom line.”
"Shang Shi," Jiang Xiyu's voice suddenly became very soft, "you should know why you have this request."
Shang Shi lowered his eyes, his smile momentarily fading.
Of course he knew.
The old man in the Jiang family couldn't control his son, who had fallen for an Alpha. So, he used this as an excuse to control his grandson.
Because he detested the union of Alphas with Alphas from the bottom of his heart, he naturally wouldn't allow his personally groomed successor to have such a stain on his reputation.
But so what?
A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Shang Shi's lips, a hint of smug satisfaction in his expression.
His brother listens to that old man too much.
These things won't be a problem if he's willing.
Shang Shi was silent for a moment, then looked up, tilted his head, and smiled, repeatedly asking Jiang Xiyu to confirm, "Is all of this a requirement of the family?"
"Yes."
Shang Shi laughed: "So, brother didn't willingly get engaged to Qin Muyuan, right?"
Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then calmly said, "This is my own choice."
"..."
Shang Shi's smile froze.
It's voluntary.
It was actually voluntary.
Shang Shi's pupils contracted, and suddenly, a lot of terrifying thoughts tore through his mind.
Tsk.
Why this answer?
I really dislike, I really dislike my brother's answer.
Shang Shi suppressed the slight tremor in his fingertips. Just then, a shadow fell.
He was startled.
Jiang Xiyu patted Shang Shi's head reassuringly and explained, "I want to fully inherit the Jiang family business, so I chose to cooperate with Qin Muyuan."
"Shang Shi, I have my own reasons for doing this, and I hope you... won't make things difficult for me."
The light and shadow softened Jiang Xiyu's features, making Shang Shi feel as if Jiang Xiyu had returned to being the gentle Alpha who was towards him.
Shang Shi really liked this kind of warmth, so the emotions in his eyes all turned into flattery and obedience towards Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu saw that he seemed to enjoy it very much, and even the palms of his hands were sweating slightly.
Much later, he heard Shang Shi's voice sounding like he was compromising.
"I understand, I won't make things difficult for my brother."
"Well, you'll understand."
Jiang Xiyu responded with satisfaction, her fingertips patiently stroking Shang Shi's hair as if she were grooming a small animal—this was a reward.
After a while, Shang Shi said softly, "If you are really having trouble with this matter, I can resolve it."
"If I kill him, my brother can naturally become the heir, right?"
Jiang Xiyu: "Mm."
"Ok?"
Jiang Xiyu almost thought she had misheard.
killed.
Who to kill?
This madman, could he be trying to kill his own grandfather?
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Jiang Xiyu almost fainted from anger, and gritted her teeth, uttering a fierce remark.
When Shang Shi said those words, there wasn't even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Only after hearing Jiang Xiyu's change in tone did the upward curve of her lips slowly turn down.
He was puzzled as to why Jiang Xiyu was angry. After a while, he nodded, his tone both aggrieved and innocent.
He said, "I know."
If that old bastard is killed, Jiang Xiyu will be free. She won't have to marry Qin Muyuan, she can inherit the Jiang family business, and she can be with him.
Shang Shi's eyes lit up; he thought this was a really good idea.
Fearing that Jiang Xiyu would worry, Shang Shi added reassuringly, "Brother, don't worry, I will handle this perfectly."
"..."
Jiang Xiyu was so angry she laughed.
*
the company.
Qin Muyuan, who had come to the Jiang family to discuss cooperation, finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" after Jiang Xiyu sighed for the nth time that day.
He put down the documents in his hand, sat down across from Jiang Xiyu at the desk, and smiled at her: "You've been in a daze all day, like someone has bewitched you, and you keep sighing. Is something bothering you?"
Jiang Xiyu shook her head: "No."
Qin Muyuan didn't ask any further questions, only saying with concern, "It's good that you're alright. You looked so worried, I thought something serious had happened."
"Is there any cigarette?"
"What?" Qin Muyuan was stunned. "Sorry, I don't smoke, so I don't have any on me."
Jiang Xiyu pressed the phone and asked his assistant to bring over some cigarettes.
When people can't vent their emotions, they need to find an outlet.
Ever since Shang Shi casually mentioned that he would deal with his grandfather, Jiang Xiyu has been unable to eat or sleep properly.
For this reason, Jiang Xiyu specially assigned people to keep an eye on Shang Shi 24 hours a day, fearing that if he wasn't careful, Shang Shi might be struck by lightning and kill his grandfather.
Ten minutes later, the assistant came up with a cigarette and lit it for Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu was touching something for the first time. She only felt that the taste was a bit astringent, but after exhaling it, she felt a strange pleasure, as if the pent-up frustration in her heart was being exhaled with the smoke.
Qin Muyuan raised an eyebrow as he watched the Alpha lean back in his chair with his head slightly tilted back, smoking in a suit, exuding a strangely refined yet decadent sexiness.
This was the first time he had seen Jiang Xiyu so worried, and he couldn't help but be curious.
But it wasn't convenient to ask directly, so after thinking for a moment, she changed the subject: "Have you considered the suggestion I made to you before the last cocktail party? Have you discussed our collaboration with him?"
That "he" refers, of course, to Shang Shi.
Jiang Xiyu nodded, but then, for some unknown reason, these words stirred up some memories, and Jiang Xiyu's face involuntarily flushed red.
Qin Muyuan understood as he looked at Jiang Xiyu's expression.
It seems you did say it.
People in love are definitely different.
He was now certain of who Jiang Xiyu's sorrow was because of.
In contrast, the assistant, who was in the know, watched with trepidation and a deathly pale face.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at his assistant and gestured for him to close the door and leave.
Once there were no outsiders in the office, Jiang Xiyu finally spoke: "It's a bit troublesome."
Qin Muyuan asked in confusion, "What?"
"That kid Shang Shi is also very concerned about this fake marriage."
To be honest, if it weren't for what happened with Shang Shi, Jiang Xiyu wouldn't have cared whether he minded or not, but now that it has happened.
Moreover, especially after becoming intimate, Shang Shi's possessiveness became even more natural.
This caused Jiang Xiyu great distress.
He was also worried that if the marriage alliance with Qin Muyuan went according to plan, Shang Shi's jealousy would not only lead him to target the old man, but also Qin Muyuan.
Seriously, I've gotten into a huge mess while sleeping!
"Then, should I go and explain to Shang Shi?"
Jiang Xiyu flicked off the ash from his cigarette and said softly, "No need, it would be more troublesome if you went."
You never know, Shang Zhi might be smiling one second and then smash your head open the next.
"If you see him again in the future, try to avoid him."
Qin Muyuan: "...Okay."
Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but sigh in annoyance, "This is really troublesome."
“Perhaps he’s just too insecure.” Qin Muyuan’s cool face revealed a polite smile. He pondered for a moment and suggested to Jiang Xiyu, “Spend more time with him. That way, he shouldn’t bother you so much.”
Qin Muyuan had minored in psychology, so he could easily judge what kind of person someone was based on their words and actions.
Having met Shang Shi twice before, and based on that conversation, Qin Muyuan knew a little about him.
He knew that Shang Shi cared deeply about Jiang Xiyu. Moreover, because of his Alpha identity, he felt inferior in front of Jiang Xiyu.
Such people actually need their partners' careful and steadfast love and care even more.
"is that useful?"
If this could appease the little madman, Jiang Xiyu wouldn't actually be unwilling.
Because in his heart, besides returning everything that belonged to Shang Shi, he also felt an additional responsibility.
Brotherhood was a complete failure, so now I have to switch to love.
Just thinking about it made him feel that Shang Shi's deadly voice was everywhere.
Jiang Xiyu pursed her lips, subtly lowering her eyes to conceal the unnaturalness in them.
“Your work will be useful.” Qin Muyuan nodded, picked up the documents, smiled faintly, and stood up. “Alright, I won’t bother you any longer. If you need any help later, just let me know.”
After Qin Muyuan left, the surroundings became quiet again.
Jiang Xiyu leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes slightly to catch her breath, and then called her assistant back in.
"Has the Jiang family called you?"
After his susceptible period passed, he checked his phone and found that one of the missed calls during that time came from the Jiang residence.
The assistant became somewhat anxious when this was mentioned.
“That day, the butler said that the master wanted to see you, but he couldn’t get through to you, so he called me.”
The assistant recalled what he had seen and said somewhat embarrassedly, "But at that time, it happened to be your period of high fertility, young master, and we couldn't get through on the phone, so the butler asked me to pass on the message that the old master hopes you will bring Young Master Qin back to the old house for dinner on the 20th of this month."
Jiang Xiyu frowned: "Is that all?"
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, the butler also asked about the omega next to you, young master, who is also known as Young Master Shang Shi."
Jiang Xiyu hummed in response, a strange sense of unease creeping into her heart.
