Do You Smile?

I can believe, truly, I can ! About what I said to him…. That moment was definitely complexed. God literally played with me >x

Now that I think about it… it was true that alphas marrying each other is not actually a joke. However, Im still opposed to it. I mean, man, alphas are fated and ought to marry omegas, for a nice, successful birth, but this era… oof.

But anyway, this Shang Weishun is definitely attracted by me. The moment I talked about his wife, he literally forsook the matter and kept fixated on me. Me!

I know you won get it, but… I really felt that.

After dinner, this guy, despite being a well-living CEO, only had 3 rooms! One for him, previously adding his wife too, and the other two for his children! I feel like I was dumped upon coming here?!

Shang Guosheng, Toufang sleep together in one room, and little Qiyer still likes to sleep with his daddy..

After his mommy passed away, this little fledgling seems too attached to his dad, that he always clings to him tightly… as if…

Now, as for me, I have to sleep on the floor! On the floor, on the carpet! Are you kidding me?!

I took the cushion and pressed my head on it, then pulled the blanket onto me. It did feel cozy… it had been a while since I had come to a friends house.

Friend…

——————

After a good nights sleep, the moment I opened my eyes, something came closer onto my face, it was dark but the voice was calming.

”Wei Jun. its morning, ”

…Shang… Weishun…?

After a few seconds of realization…

”AAAAAHHH!!!!! ”

The frick! What hell were you intending by sticking to my face, huh???!

I immediately pulled my face towards him and accidentally, our foreheads hit hardly.

Oops.

”Ouch, Wei Jun… ” he rubbed his hit-point, in a gritting voice.

My heart just stopped at that time.

”S-sorry, CEO Shang… I, ”

”Never mind, breakfast is not ready. Get up and make it. The children are hungry, and… ”

Hey, hey, hey, I wasn called here for being a COOK. It was merely for just being a babysitter for a night! I wanna go home!! Wuu…

Anyways, I got up and freshened up. With warm water going down my esophagus, I cleared my throat and wore the apron.

While the soup was on low-heat pressure, I started to cut the vegetables and switched on the rice cooker.

It had only been 30 minutes, that I heard a sudden Thwap! sound outside the kitchen.

I quickly ran outside and the view was… well, what can I say..

I sighed while saying cautiously, ”Xiao Qiyer, please stay away. ”

With a loaded expression on, I took a napkin and started to wipe the water from the glass jug that had been mistakenly slipped on the table by, Qiyer.

My, my, after his death, not only did the family became silent, but also troublesome. At that time, I realized that how much work it is to take care of a family, and as such as a big as this!

”I, I am sorry, uncle Jun. ”

When I looked up at his cute face, the eyes were teared up yet so bright and sparkly.

”No, no, don cry! It-its okay, really okay! ”

Of course, its okay, so don cry, otherwise, that CEO Shang would think I made you cry… I don want to be a bad guy just in the beginning, and even after doing nothing shameless…

I softly wiped his tears off. And then held his smooth, soft, and baby hands, which were rubbing eyes hardly, while sobbing.

”Xiao Qiyer, listen. Daddy is busy, so don cause trouble for him, okay? I will play with you in my free time, so don cry and tell him this. ”

He immediately brightened up and said cheerfully, ”Really? Qiyer won cry anymore! Uncle Jun is the best! ”

I gave off a caring smile and let him go.

Right… Shang Renjun, you were a hero after all.

As I went back into the kitchen, a weird scent traveled to my nose.

….Ack! the soup! The soup!!!

”Oh, damn! ”

While that tender moment, my precious soup had been burnt… wuwuwu… why god, why?!

Never mind, I would have to make it again now… ugh, what life.

After a whole hour, finally did I get finished.

I set the breakfast on the table. Remembering now, today was a weekend, so no office! Then I can spend my time with children. After all, I don have any hangouts or stuff to confine my free time..

After setting up the feast, I decided to call them out. No, wait, its better to call them by feet.

I first went to the living room and saw the two children. Guosheng reading picture books, while Toufang playing with toy cars. Well, it really is a blessing when you
e with children ^^

As for Qiyer… I wonder where he disappeared after making a promise to me.

I went over and bent down.

Then in a soft and childish voice, ”Guo Guo and TouTou are hungry, right?? ”

What the hell… how can I be so childish?

My smiling face made them smile cheerfully.

”Yes! ” they both left their things unorganized and ran off to the table.

”Hey, hey, ” I sneaked back trying to slow them down, of course, don want the same thing to happen again! As while I started to put their things in order.

After that, I arranged my clothes and went my way to Shang Weishun.

Why do I feel like a wife again…?

”Shang Weishun, ” I knocked on his door. He didn reply.

Bastard, come on, open up!

”CEO Shang, breakfast is ready! ”

Nope, still not.

I hope I could really say that Shang Shang! You damn, you hear me?! Don wanna eat your damn breakfast?!

But… sigh, what else is there left…?

I knocked again, and the door opened finally! Oh thank god~

”Shang Weishun, you- ” my frowning brows turned more narrowed.

What is he doing? Concentrating, standing at the table?

I slowly walked further and until I saw something that….

My eyes opened wide when I saw it clearly. So wide, that it could pop out the right next second.

The courageous, definite, excellent, and inspiring alpha, CEO Shang was… crying deeply while staring at a framed picture.

A picture of two people standing together. A young, docile-looking omega dressed in a white wedding suit, with his hand placed on the taller strong figured alphas heart.

That alpha-omega pair turns out to be the newly-wed Shang Weishun and his omega wife, Shang Renjun.

Oh my… I feel a lot of pressure having seen such a dramatic family.

I, unconsciously, patted his shoulder lightly. ”CEO Shang… please don cry… I… ” even I couldn say anything to make him feel better. More like, I thought, from the very start, that it wasn my right to comfort him… because the only person he had and would still, listen to, was his wife, Shang Renjun.

Not me, nor anyone. Only him.

When he realized me being there, he immediately wiped off his tears and his deep voice returned. ”Wei Jun, what are you doing here? ”

Right… I should be the one asking when its right the breakfast time!

I furrowed hardly and gritted my teeth. In an angry voice, I said out, ”CEO Shang, breakfast is ready. Won you be grateful and eat it? You know its getting… cold. ”

The last sentence was out with a strong grit.

A small amount of sweat dripped from his forehead, as he nervously said, ”Oh, o-okay. I am following you, ”

Sigh, you know what? Whenever Im with you, I feel like we
e just newlyweds who were arranged actually.

With that, I learned a new thing about him, and we went to the table.

————

After the silent, as usual, breakfast, everyone started to wipe their mouths.

Shang Weishun was staring at me while I was busy helping the children clean up. Then I started to take the dishes to the kitchen. The whole time, cleaning, wiping, and even doing laundry, this guy, this alpha, this CEO, was non-stop staring at me!

Damn you! If the kids weren here, only God knows what would I have done to you, damn alpha!

At last! Finally! When I had done all the household, this man took me in as a servant, not a friend or a babysitter, alright. I finally looked back at him and angrily said, ”CEO Shang, what could be so astonishing about me that youve been staring at me the whole day? ”

Or so, I was bombarding the inside.

He fretfully rolled his eyes and said with scratching his cheek, ”No.. um, I, uh, was just staring… the way you were doing the household, was very much alike Renjun… ” he stared down in dismay.

So you were just missing him? Reminded of him by just looking at me?

I sided away my head and with eyebrows furrowed strongly, I said in a rather perturbed tone.

”Whatever you do, think, intend, just please don say that you remind of Ruo Ren, by looking at me. You know, it hurts when you say that. I feel like… as if, I am just an unwanted piece working day and night, so hard, for the sake of you and your family. ”

And then? I ran away by walking peacefully.

CEO Shang, please don overlook my words, but please don comprehend the wrong meaning out of it, too.

——————-

I don know what his expression was like after I passed him over, but I seriously meant what I said. I don want someone who merely knows so little about me, go over to the extent of remembering their sweetheart by looking at me. It feels disgusted and it hurts… ok.

Whatever happened, I still wanted to talk to him. What he felt around me. But as said, my expectations would never be, Think of me as Renjun? but of course, something more calming, and reassuring that Im unique.

I am me. I am an alpha. The only one who thinks like me, does things like me, is only me. No one can take over my place. Neither can I, to someone else, in fact.

But knowing that alpha boss, I completely knew that he only takes opinions, but never actually reflects on them. Or perhaps, or must-have, he only listened to Renjun. Anyways, as I said, I am me. So if he remembers or takes me as Renjun, I won stay here a millisecond.

And so, I decided to run things slowly, and process them before bedtime.

Today and tomorrow can be the only days I can see this family, I thought.

I came over to the sofa, where he was sitting. The TV was switched on and the news was played on. Shang Weishun had a dull expression on, and without noticing with me sitting beside him, I had to shrug him a little.

”CEO Shang, you hear me? ”

Can you even see that Im here, alpha?

He suddenly slightly, jolted and turned over to me.

”Wei Jun, yes? ” an expression of question.

I kept looking downwards in hesitation. Oh, quit me, please.

”That… CEO Shang, I want to ask you something. ”

Thats it. I said it!!

Brain: What are you being so anxious about?

”Ask it away. ”

He was like, Oh? Really? Eh? Ok, go ahead. Man, be a little friendly!

”Quick. ” He repeated in frustration.

Ok ok, please cool down, my lord.

”Well… if its a bit personal, even so, can I say it? ”

What am I asking?

”Say it. After all, you have 90% known about me, till now. ”

Wow… even he does maths!

”Okay then, ”

Here I go.

”Its just a slight question out of curiosity and well, whatever you may name it, its just something out of random. So, so, don take it to heart and reply in an instant. ”

I talked like, in a speed of light.

He was finally pouring out his anger, ”Ok! What is it now? ”

Gulp, ”Since you really are… reminded of Ruo Ren by me, then- ”

So he kind of understood my question from the start, I see.

”So its about him. No wonder you were so perceptible about him since the beginning. ” He stared into my eyes and said, ”Even if I do, why, do you hate it this bad? Was he not your dear friend and benefactor? Why are you being like that? ”

Now, see that. This alpha, known for being a tyrant, attacked me with a question, instead of answering mine first!

I really now wonder how Ruo Ren fell for him.

”Alright, so you may go with that! Anyways, my general and basic question is that, ”

Now finally glaring in his eyes, I asked in confidence.

”What do you feel around me, CEO Shang Weishun? ”

He… I don really expect him to answer what I want, but, sigh, right, this is how the world goes on, I guess.

His face was left in astonishment.

”You… ”

It seemed to be that even he didn expect me to ask that.

Expectations… well, don always rise in your honor.

His face calmed down as he replied with a tender tone, ”Wei Jun if I say that you remind me of Renjun, do you hate that? ”

His tone assured me that he won hate me otherwise.

”No, ” I said what I wanted and felt like.

”Then, ” he smiled softly, ”even if I do say that I really actually mean it. But even if you do remind me of him, you are still you. You, Wei Jun, can never be taken over by anyone else. Neither can you take anyone elses place. Because you are you. You can change, even if I want, or God wants, or anyone else, but until only if you want. So, Wei Jun, for me, when I see you, rather than putting it that you remind me of my dead lover, I would say that you make me feel calm, warm, and content. So please, ”

His words… his words indeed made me happy, rest assured, but even still that… why did my tears flow out?

He touched my face with his lenient hands and said, ”always be yourself. Even if I say that I love Renjun and nobody else, or that you remind me of Renjun, that only means that you are just as beautiful, fair, and pure as him. But for you, I want you to be yourself. That your funny, enthusiastic behavior, you often tend to hide, I like that, so please make it more prominent. ”

He wiped my tears with his fingers and pulled himself back.

”As for him, Renjun might be dead for the world, but hes always alive in my dreams and heart. ” With slight furrows.

Those words. Those words laid out by this strong, willful, and confident in everything, alpha, today, right at that moment, made me love myself more.

I, despite being a loved-by-all and efficient, alpha, never liked my personality. So I always tended to hide it from the public. Because I thought, nothing is more valuable or proficient than being an alpha, so I need to stop thinking like an omega or a beta. Im not someone ordinary; I am an alpha. A sole and valuable human.
