After Marrying the Top Alpha of a Wealthy Family, I Am Spoiled Rotten Chapter 49

Chapter 49

There was some suspicion during the ship incident, but since Wen Yan didn't show any signs of panic or guilt, Lin Chuanwu dismissed his doubts.

In the office, Zhao Yuzhi pulled up a high-definition photo of Wen Shichuan.

He asked if Lin Chuanwu knew a certain term.

What term?

"Substitute."

"But it shouldn't be like that between you two. After all, Wen Shichuan is Wen Yan's brother, and there's no romantic involvement between them. But Wen Yan is with you because of love, so even if Wen Yan occasionally sees you as his brother, it's just a brotherly reminiscence."

"It's not the same concept as the 'white moonlight substitute' I mentioned."

"But don't you find it strange?" Zhao Yuzhi continued.

"They come from a blended family, not the same dad, not the same mom, yet after living together for a few years, their relationship is so good. Most of the blended family kids I know have distant and polite relationships."

"Moreover, Wen Shichuan's father has given up looking for him, but Wen Yan is still so persistent."

"I even suspect that Wen Yan has some leverage over Wen Shichuan, which is why he hasn't given up after all this time."

Of course, Lin Chuanwu had thought about these issues.

Lin Chuanwu pinched Wen Yan's cheeks, not allowing him to turn away or avoid his gaze.

At that time, he was very clear that Wen Yan had no feelings for him; they got married because he forced it.

He had no right to question.

But now, he believed Wen Yan had fallen in love with him.

Wen Yan was also pregnant with his child.

So it was a good time to clear things up with Wen Yan.

"Marrying you has nothing to do with Shichuan. I just wanted seven million," Wen Yan answered softly.

"Before going on the ship, occasionally, I did see you as Shichuan, and I did call out his name in nightmares."

Lin Chuanwu tightened his grip on Wen Yan's chin.

"But," Wen Yan winced slightly, "after that, it never happened again."

"You and Xiaochuan are completely different people, only your eyes…"

But just those eyes, because of the different emotions their owner often conveyed, became different too.

Wen Shichuan loved to smile, his eyes bright.

Lin Chuanwu was always gloomy, his eyes dark.

And Lin Chuanwu was more aggressive, with a very domineering personality.

Wen Shichuan was much gentler.

Not long after they got married, Wen Yan couldn't overlap him with Wen Shichuan anymore.

If compared to animals, Wen Shichuan would be a dog, and Lin Chuanwu would be a wolf.

"Besides, I wouldn't have a child with Wen Shichuan," Wen Yan said softly.

Lin Chuanwu's breath hitched, and he released his grip.

A substitute would want to have a child with the other person, but because they couldn't, they would have one with the substitute. However, Wen Yan didn't want to have a child with Wen Shichuan, so even if their eyes were similar, he wasn't Wen Shichuan's substitute.

"Then let me ask you another question."

"Why did Wen Shichuan run away from home and not contact you for so many years?"

Wen Yan's face turned a bit pale, "I had a fight with him."

"About what?"

"Just, just some trivial matters."

"What trivial matters made him so heartless?"

"He really liked making games, but I didn't want him to pursue that career," Wen Yan stared at his fingertips.

"He ran away from home because of that?" Lin Chuanwu frowned.

Wen Yan began to change the subject.

"Chuanwu, do you still want me to sit?"

This reason didn't quite convince Lin Chuanwu, but he couldn't think deeply about it either, his Adam's apple bobbing heavily.

"Sit on what?"

"…Sit on your face," Wen Yan's eyelashes trembled.

"Didn't you dislike it?" Lin Chuanwu asked hoarsely.

"I like it now."

Lin Chuanwu then let him show how much he liked it.

This time, he even made him wear a short skirt.

"This won't do," Wen Yan panicked.

"Why not? Other people's wives wouldn't look at another person through their husband's eyes."

Lin Chuanwu was resentful.

Wen Yan still wore it.

Lin Chuanwu's Adam's apple bobbed, and though he didn't gain weight anywhere else, this part grew bigger day by day. Lin Chuanwu pinched it, and when he looked up, he saw a large expanse of snow-white.

Lin Chuanwu's throat was parched, and he said hoarsely, "Sit down."

Soon, the hem of the skirt covered his face.

With his distinct fingers, a ring on his ring finger, he supported and slightly lifted, making the place Wen Yan wanted to hide and felt ashamed of more visible.

Lin Chuanwu gently blew, and Wen Yan quickly shivered.

He took a bite, and it dripped all over his face.

The more Lin Chuanwu drank, the thirstier he became.

He suddenly lifted Wen Yan, making him kneel on the bed.

Wen Yan was momentarily confused, then panicked.

"No, Chuanwu."

The skirt was flipped over, and Lin Chuanwu's Adam's apple bobbed heavily.

"I won't go in."

Then he pulled out a belt and tied Wen Yan's legs.

And Wen Yan, kneeling, lowered his head and saw it poking right in front of him.

Using his legs…

The intense stimulation made Wen Yan unable to kneel, his hands supporting the headboard.

After being tormented for a long time, Lin Chuanwu carried Wen Yan to take a bath, then placed him on the bed and nestled in his arms.

"I have to oversee a project."

"Where?" Wen Yan's cheeks were still red, touching his head.

"In the mountains."

"Then be careful."

"Mm."

"How long will you be gone?"

"A month."

Wen Yan didn't say anything.

"I'll come back as soon as possible."

"Then I'll wait for you."

"You can't go looking for your brother." Lin Chuanwu bit Wen Yan's shoulder sinisterly, "I've already sent someone to find him."

"Even though I'm not home, I'll always be watching you. If I find out, I'll make you wear a skirt every day and do it."

Wen Yan shivered, "I won't go."

"I know you'll help me find Shichuan. I trust you, and now that I have a baby, I won't act recklessly anymore."

"Wait for me at home."

Lin Chuanwu looked at him, speaking such words to someone for the first time.

Lin Chuanwu's business trips usually lasted about seven days, but this was the first time it was so long. He never felt anything before, but now he couldn't help but feel reluctant, nestling in Wen Yan's arms to sleep.

Wen Yan had no choice but to hold his head in embarrassment.

And slowly fell asleep like that.

At six the next morning, Lin Chuanwu woke up, and the two of them were still in the same position as when they fell asleep. As soon as Lin Chuanwu let go, he slipped out.

Lin Chuanwu rubbed his nose against him, then kissed Wen Yan's face a couple of times.

At this time, as a husband, he should be by Wen Yan's side, but after all, he was a leader, with so many people behind him, and responsibilities he had to fulfill, he couldn't shirk them.

Lin Chuanwu watched Wen Yan for a long time.

When he left, he took off Wen Yan's underwear and put it in his pocket.

*

When Wen Yan opened his eyes, the person was already gone.

Feeling relieved, yet somewhat lost.

In the following days, Wen Yan continued to prepare for the game's launch.

Knowing Lin Chuanwu was on a business trip, Grandpa Lin, worried that Wen Yan had no one to take care of him, hired another nanny for him, which Wen Yan accepted after some persuasion.

Lin Xiangyi also came to see him, bringing some precious supplements.

"Don't overthink it, the old man asked me to come."

Wen Yan still thanked him.

"Anyway, I won't acknowledge a child born from a beta as my grandchild. Even if it's an alpha, neither I nor Lin Chuanwu's mom would care." Lin Xiangyi snorted and left.

When the child was four months old, Wen Yan went for a check-up.

"Honey, why is he here for a prenatal check-up alone? He looks so pitiful."

"Maybe the husband has work to do."

"Then even if you have work, you have to come with me in the future."

"Of course, work isn't as important as you."

Wen Yan just looked at the check-up sheet.

Half a month later, Wen Yan suddenly received an invitation.

It was an invitation to a gathering from Wang Duozi's wife.

Wen Yan didn't really like attending such gatherings, but when he saw that Xie Yan would be there, he remembered that night when Xie Yan's emotions were completely different from Cheng Xiangyu's, and out of curiosity, he agreed.

Wang Duozi's wife, Zhu Ju, was a cheerful and enthusiastic omega.

Her face was round and always smiling, making people feel good at first sight.

She greeted Wen Yan warmly, "I heard Mr. Lin went on a business trip, and you're pregnant. If you need any help, feel free to ask us."

Then she comforted Wen Yan, "When I was pregnant, my husband was also very busy, but there's nothing we can do. If he doesn't work, how can he support our big family? Sometimes, in their position, they have no choice."

Wen Yan smiled, "That's true."

Then he followed her to the living room, where many people had already gathered, mostly the wives of wealthy businessmen, dressed in luxurious and elegant attire.

Wen Yan felt out of place with them.

But he soon spotted Xie Yan in the corner.

Xie Yan was holding a child, sitting next to a beautiful female omega.

The child was sobbing softly.

Xie Yan comforted the child, "There, there, don't cry."

Then he said to the female omega, "Please don't say those things in front of the child anymore."

"He's not even three, what can he understand?"

"He's smarter than you think," Xie Yan suppressed his anger.

"So what? Am I not stating the facts? He's just a beta, his brother is also a beta, and our family's business won't be inherited by a beta. If you can't give birth to an alpha, my brother will divorce you and find another omega."

"You've told me this many times, can you ask your brother to divorce me now and find another omega?"

"You! I'll call my brother right now!" Cheng Liyun said angrily.

"Liyun, didn't you say you wanted some red tea? The servant has prepared it for you." Zhu Ju intervened to help Xie Yan.

Cheng Liyun gritted her teeth and went to drink the red tea.

Wen Yan heard people whispering.

"That's why they say marriages should be between equals. Marrying up is like swallowing needles, it's no joke."

"If you say one more word, you can leave."

Zhu Ju said with a fake smile.

No one dared to speak.

Zhu Ju went to Xie Yan's side, and Wen Yan followed.

After comforting Xie Yan for a few words, Zhu Ju went to attend to other guests, and Wen Yan sat next to Xie Yan.

The child in Xie Yan's arms stopped crying as soon as Cheng Liyun left, snuggling into Xie Yan's embrace.

"How old is he?" Wen Yan asked softly.

"He'll be three in three months," Xie Yan replied quietly.

"He's very cute and smart."

Seemingly hearing the praise, Cheng Xiaoxiao lifted his head, his round, red eyes staring at Wen Yan.

"Thank you, Uncle Xie."

Xie Yan's suppressed mood eased a bit, and he smiled.

"That person just now…" Wen Yan asked cautiously.

"She's my husband's sister."

Actually, she's quite nice to Xiaoxiao, but she always talks about how Cheng Xiangyu and I will divorce, and Xiaoxiao can already understand, so he cries every time.

But what she says is true. The Cheng family originally wanted an alpha, and if I can't give birth to one, there's a high chance I'll divorce my husband."

"Is it your husband's idea or his family's?"

"Cheng Xiangyu hasn't mentioned it to me, but I suspect he also wants a divorce."

Cheng Xiaoxiao snuggled into Xie Yan's arms, closing his eyes and slowly falling asleep.

Seeing him asleep, Xie Yan relaxed a bit.

"What about you?"

Xie Yan smiled, "My mom was a maid for the Cheng family, and I grew up working there with her, growing up with Xiangyu. We were originally just master and servant, but somehow feelings developed. When I was eighteen, we had a relationship, and his parents found out. Cheng Xiangyu was sent abroad, and my mom and I were fired. Three years later, Cheng Xiangyu found me and said he wanted to marry me. The Cheng family disagreed, but I was pregnant…"

"Actually, Cheng Xiangyu was very good to me at first, but maybe the pressure from his parents was too much, or maybe the unattainable is always the best, and once he got it, he found it boring. Our relationship grew colder, and now we don't even hold hands while lying in the same bed."

"I've actually made up my mind," Xie Yan said seriously, "I've saved some money over the years, and soon, I'll file for divorce."

"Both kids are betas, the Cheng family won't want them, and I can't bear to give them up."

"Actually, I'm glad they're betas, so I can take them with me."

Wen Yan suddenly felt a bit sour.

Seeing him like this, Xie Yan comforted him, "I saw Mr. Lin's updates. Cheng Xiangyu's social media only has work-related posts, never about me or the kids. Not all marriages are like ours."

"If you need any help, feel free to ask me."

"Then I won't be polite."

Wen Yan went home and couldn't sleep.

There was a sense of shared fate.

Cheng Xiangyu and Xie Yan didn't start like this; it was a long process of wear and tear that made them strangers and cold.

Would he and Lin Chuanwu end up like this too?

The phone rang; it was Lin Chuanwu calling.

Wen Yan didn't answer and hung up on him.
