After Marrying the Top Alpha of a Wealthy Family, I Am Spoiled Rotten Chapter 39

Chapter 39

What was supposed to be a forty-minute drive, Lin Chuanwu managed to cut down to twenty minutes, rushing straight from the garage to the living room. The cold, gray living room was empty, reminiscent of the time before he married Wen Yan, causing Lin Chuanwu's heart to sink.

But soon, Lin Chuanwu's expression turned dark and fierce. No matter where he went, he could always find him and bring him back.

"Chuanwu, you're back?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind. Lin Chuanwu froze, then turned around and pulled him into a tight embrace.

"Where did you go just now?"

Lin Chuanwu held him so tightly that Wen Yan felt like his bones might break, but he didn't push him away, letting him hold him as tightly as he wanted.

"I… I was looking at the wolf cubs. I haven't seen them in a while, and they've grown a lot…"

"Chuanwu, what's wrong?" Wen Yan asked softly.

Lin Chuanwu stared at him, not saying a word.

After dinner, the two of them lay in bed. Wen Yan felt uneasy. Lin Chuanwu hadn't been intimate with him for several days, and his return seemed off, maybe he would…

Still sore…

When Lin Chuanwu's hand reached over, Wen Yan closed his eyes, trembling.

The hand only rested on his waist, holding him tightly. Wen Yan opened his eyes again, meeting Lin Chuanwu's complex and deep gaze.

"Chuanwu, today… you don't want to?"

Lin Chuanwu's eyes darkened, biting his ear, he whispered, "Is it because…"

Wen Yan's cheeks flushed, "No, no."

"Then let's sleep." Wen Yan hugged Lin Chuanwu's head to his chest.

The alpha's head was heavy, his hair coarse, and his breath hot. At first, Wen Yan wasn't used to it, but after holding him for a while, it felt like hugging a large, not-so-soft or cute stuffed animal, actually quite comfortable…

Just as Wen Yan was about to fall asleep, he heard the alpha speak.

"I shouldn't have lied to you."

Wen Yan was suddenly wide awake, but he didn't open his eyes.

He heard every word Wang Liwei said, not missing a single one.

It was because he wanted more love and care from him that he lied.

Wen Yan wasn't angry, instead, he felt a bit complicated.

Even if he hadn't lied, he would have indulged him, but it seemed the alpha lacked confidence in this.

For someone of the alpha's status, love shouldn't be lacking, but Wen Yan felt that he craved love and stars alike, with a strong addiction.

"I'm sorry."

Wen Yan heard the alpha say again, a burning warmth flowing through his chest. Wen Yan opened his eyes, cupping his face.

"It's okay."

The ninth level of the game was successfully completed, and Wen Yan and his team began preparing for the tenth level, the final level of the game.

In game development, the first three levels and the last level are crucial. The first three levels need to be exciting enough to keep players engaged, while the last level should leave players feeling thrilled and wanting more…

Wen Yan and his team held several meetings but couldn't finalize the scene and content for the tenth level, which made Wen Yan more anxious than ever.

At noon, Wen Yan had no appetite and wasn't as energetic as usual, falling asleep on his desk without eating.

He only woke up when Liu Ren called him.

Wen Yan opened his eyes, still feeling exhausted, his body rusty. It took him a full ten minutes to gather the energy to continue working.

Even without a susceptible period, an alpha still has strong desires. Wen Yan felt like someone caught by a ghost, his energy quickly drained as soon as it recovered a bit. If this continued, he might not make it.

Wen Yan used the excuse of slow game progress to work overtime every day, going home to sleep immediately. The alpha seemed to pity him and hadn't initiated anything.

For half a month, Wen Yan left work at eleven every night, until he received a message from the alpha that afternoon.

1. Leave work on time, I'm waiting for you downstairs.

After reading the message, Wen Yan felt a twinge of pain in his lower body.

When it was time, Wen Yan reluctantly shut down his computer and clocked out.

In the dim car, Wen Yan straddled Lin Chuanwu's lap.

He quickly felt the alpha's desire awakening, huge and terrifying.

Wen Yan began to tremble slightly.

"Are you deliberately avoiding me?" The alpha scrutinized Wen Yan.

"No, it's just that work hasn't been going well lately."

"Do you need your husband's help?"

"No, I can handle it myself." Wen Yan shook his head.

"Did you eat well today?" the alpha asked again.

Wen Yan hadn't eaten, but he nodded anyway.

"I did."

Lin Chuanwu pinched his stomach, which was slightly fuller than when empty, and believed him.

"Did you miss me?" the alpha asked again.

Wen Yan's cheeks heated up, and he nodded.

"I missed you too." The alpha buried his head in his neck, then sniffed from his neck to his chest.

"You smell so good."

"Do I…" Wen Yan was embarrassed.

Wen Yan couldn't smell himself, and he used to wonder why the alpha always liked to nuzzle him. It turned out he liked his scent.

The car headed home, Lin Chuanwu removed his black gloves, slipped his hand inside Wen Yan's shirt, and began to rub his stomach.

His fingers were calloused and rough, rubbing against his abdomen, making Wen Yan shiver slightly.

"When will you get pregnant?" Lin Chuanwu frowned.

"Maybe… soon." Wen Yan's cheeks flushed.

Lin Chuanwu was like someone hoping for a vegetable to bloom. Wen Yan explained, but he didn't believe it, so he had to go along with it.

"Does it still hurt here?" Lin Chuanwu's voice became inexplicably hoarse.

Wen Yan was about to ask where when he suddenly felt a direct touch.

Wen Yan's body immediately went limp.

"Can we wait until we get home?"

Lin Chuanwu grunted.

But he didn't withdraw, rubbing and nudging a few more times before letting go.

Back home, Lin Chuanwu carried him straight to the second floor.

Wen Yan closed his legs in embarrassment, but they were forcibly pried open.

Just a few rubs…

Lin Chuanwu's eyes were dark, "You're wet."

Wet…

"I…" Wen Yan felt very ashamed.

"Do you miss me too?" Lin Chuanwu continued.

Wen Yan trembled slightly. In fact, he'd been having dreams these past few nights.

"Then take it out yourself," Lin Chuanwu said.

Take it out yourself…

Wen Yan lowered his eyes, trembling. His conservative nature made him feel very ashamed. After an internal struggle, he went to unbuckle his belt. The buckle was cold, making Wen Yan shiver slightly, his heart pounding…

Terrifying…

Wen Yan bit his lip, wanting to hide…

"Put it in yourself."

With veins bulging, one hand wasn't enough…

Then…

Like guiding a reluctant beast to a delicious treat, he thought the alpha would lose control once close, but the alpha remained still, so Wen Yan had to continue…

Usually, the alpha took the lead, but this was the first time…

Just as Wen Yan was about to die of embarrassment, the alpha's phone rang.

The alpha didn't answer until it rang a second, then a third time. Finally, he frowned and picked up the call.

After the call, Lin Chuanwu's face darkened slightly.

Ten minutes later, they were in a car heading to the sanatorium.

Grandpa Lin had fallen while chasing a stray cat.

Children and young people can fall without issue, but for the elderly… many become paralyzed after a fall and then pass away.

Wen Yan glanced at Lin Chuanwu. Lin Chuanwu rarely mentioned Grandpa Lin in front of him, but Wen Yan knew that in the Lin family, Lin Chuanwu was closest to him. He must be very worried now.

Wen Yan held his hand.

Lin Chuanwu quickly returned the grip.

Wen Yan and Lin Chuanwu were the last to arrive. The room was crowded, but when they saw Lin Chuanwu, they immediately made way for him, and Wen Yan followed him to the bedside.

"Oh, I told you I'm fine." Grandpa Lin lay in the hospital bed, one arm in a cast and bandaged. "These doctors, why are they so quick to talk?"

"Knowing your legs aren't good, why weren't you more careful?" Lin Chuanwu said sternly.

Wen Yan quickly added, "Grandpa, Chuanwu was very worried about you."

Grandpa Lin, like a child who'd done something wrong, said softly, "I just wanted to shoo the cat away, didn't expect to fall."

"They did a full-body check, nothing else is wrong, just a broken arm. A few months of rest and it'll be fine," Lin Xiangyi added.

Lin Chuanwu still went to find the attending doctor.

After confirming everything was fine, his expression softened a bit.

Everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandpa Lin said, "You all should go back. There are caregivers here, don't let this delay your work."

"Dad, how can that be? Caregivers are caregivers, but family should be with you too," Lin Wuyou said.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'm a bit free lately, I can keep you company," Lin Wanfu added.

"No need, if I really miss you, I'll call," Grandpa Lin insisted.

"Then Dad, how about Yuzhu and I stay to take care of you," Lin Xiangyi suggested.

Grandpa Lin glanced at the weary Weng Yuzhu, "You should take care of your wife first."

Weng Yuzhu said calmly, "Dad, I'm much better now."

"Dad, she's recovering well."

"I said no need, so no need," Grandpa Lin's temper flared.

"Grandpa, how about Chuanwu and I bring you some nourishing food after work?" Wen Yan smiled.

Grandpa Lin was a formidable figure in his youth, and even in old age, he was strong-willed. Wen Yan guessed he didn't want to trouble his children or seem useless.

With caregivers around, Wen Yan and Lin Chuanwu could visit under the guise of bringing food.

Grandpa Lin stopped being angry.

Weng Yuzhu glanced at Wen Yan, who quickly returned the look. Weng Yuzhu remained calm, nodding at him.

"You all should leave, or I'll get a headache." After agreeing, Grandpa Lin began to shoo everyone away.

"Chuanwu and Xiao Yan stay."

Lin Chengyi and Lin Wanfu complained, "Grandpa is so biased, favoring Lin Chuanwu and even his wife."

Lin Wanfu snorted, looking at a family not far away, seemingly close but as distant as strangers.

"This is called having gains and losses. At least our parents aren't biased, not favoring one over the other."

Lin Chuanwu took a work call, leaving Wen Yan to see off Lin Xiangyi and Weng Yuzhu.

Lin Chuanwu must have warned Lin Xiangyi about something, as he didn't dare speak harshly to Wen Yan.

Weng Yuzhu was different from the last time Wen Yan saw her, seemingly having regained her memory.

And with her memory back, Weng Yuzhu was very cold and distant towards Wen Yan.

Not just him, she was the same with Lin Chuanwu earlier.

After they got in the elevator, Wen Yan remained where he was.

"What are you doing standing there?" Lin Chuanwu's voice came from behind.

"Your mom… has she regained her memory?" Wen Yan asked.

"Yes."

"Was it before your susceptible period?"

Lin Chuanwu didn't answer.

But Wen Yan understood.

Wen Yan tightened his grip on his hand.

Lin Chuanwu: "Do you feel sorry for me?"

Wen Yan nodded.

"I used to feel bad, but not anymore." Lin Chuanwu cupped his face, "Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Old man, you haven't finished the IV yet, you can't pull out the needle." The nurse's helpless voice came from the ICU.

"I don't want it anymore!"

"This isn't about what you want or don't want."

"Grandpa seems to be pulling out the needle," Wen Yan said. "Let's go check."

Wen Yan took a step forward, Lin Chuanwu following, staring at Wen Yan's back.

Because what Wen Yan gave him was far more precious than what they did, so he didn't care anymore.

In the following days, Wen Yan and Lin Chuanwu brought meals to visit Grandpa Lin after work.

But Wen Yan hadn't forgotten something important, his mother's death anniversary was approaching.

"Chuanwu, I need to go back to my hometown in a few days."

After visiting Grandpa Lin, Wen Yan and Lin Chuanwu took a bath and lay in bed, with Wen Yan in Lin Chuanwu's arms.

"I'll go with you," Lin Chuanwu bit Wen Yan's finger.

"You should stay and keep Grandpa company," Wen Yan said. "Grandpa's injury hasn't healed yet."

"Are you trying to avoid taking me with you?" Lin Chuanwu frowned.

"No, if Grandpa wasn't injured, I'd definitely want you to come with me."

Then Wen Yan lowered his eyes. Actually, Lin Chuanwu guessed right.

He didn't want him to come, but not because he didn't want him to pay respects to his mother.

It was because Wen Yan felt his pseudo-heat was approaching.

The last time at the hotel was an accident, and he didn't want anyone to see him during his pseudo-heat.

"I'll be back soon," Wen Yan said softly.

Lin Chuanwu eventually nodded.

Lin Chuanwu took Wen Yan to the airport. Even as the plane was about to take off, Lin Chuanwu, like a worried father, kept reminding Wen Yan.

"Call me when you land, and wherever you go, call me."

"Come back after paying respects to our mom, don't linger."

Our mom…

Wen Yan was helpless, the change in address was too natural…

"Also, tell our mom that because Grandpa is injured and needs someone, I couldn't visit her this time, but I'll definitely visit next time."

"Okay, I'll tell her."

After waving goodbye at the boarding gate, Wen Yan felt something off as soon as he sat on the plane. A wave of heat surged through his body.

This feeling…

It was indeed the heat approaching…
