Cyrysanthemum Garden (ABO desire)-Chapter 95: Extra: Liar 17

The sun was particularly bright that day, and the sky was clear and cloudless.

But there was an obvious gloom on Gao Tu’s face.

The color on his face faded completely in the short second when he saw Shen Wenlang, and he subconsciously backed away with the child in his arms.

Shen Wenlang was glad that he had rehearsed the reunion in his mind ten thousand times. Therefore, after seeing the Omega who left without saying goodbye, he was still able to maintain basic rationality and even remembered to hand over the little peanut in his arms to the nanny.

Peanut stretched out his arms to hug the nanny, and turned his head to look at Shen Wenlang’s face worriedly. ——He had never seen his godfather lose control like this.

Shen Wenlang’s handsome face was very stiff, his teeth were tightly clenched, as if it took a lot of effort to control himself and not lose his composure on the spot.

"What do you want to do?" Someone stepped forward and blocked his fiery gaze that was fixed on Gao Tu.

Shen Wenlang narrowed his eyes and recognized that the person who stood in front of his Omega and pretended to be a hero was Ma Heng.

He remained silent, looking coldly at the Alpha who was overestimating his own abilities and causing him trouble.

Ma Heng glared back without giving in, looking warily at this rich and difficult top Alpha who had forced them to flee everywhere.

It was this bastard who forced him and Gao Tu to leave their homeland and come to a completely unfamiliar country to start over. After so many years, he still didn’t give up and even dared to stare at Gao Tu with that expression. It was as if Gao Tu was still his appendage, a part of his body.

Ma Heng, who took Gao Tu away without permission, was not a loyal friend, but a shameless thief. He stole Gao Tu’s beloved things, forcing the owner to travel across the ocean and dig deep in the ground to find them.

Song Feifei, who was standing next to him, didn’t understand what was going on, but she could tell from Gao Tu’s obvious fear and nervousness, as well as Ma Heng’s overreaction and hostility, that they must have known Shen Wenlang for a long time, and that the relationship was not one that could allow for peaceful dialogue.

"Dad." Gao Lele was in great pain, but he had no time to feel sorry for himself because Gao Tu’s face looked so bad, his muscles against him were stretched to the limit, and his whole body was like a bow stretched to the limit.

Gao Lele raised his arm obediently, wiped Gao Tu’s sweat with his sleeve, and whispered to him: "Dad, if you don’t feel well, let’s go home first."

Gao Tu has always been in poor health, and Gao Lele has been very sensible since he was a child. Although he cherishes the rare opportunity to go to the amusement park, compared to his father’s health, it is okay to stop playing earlier and go home earlier.

"Gao Tu—" Shen Wenlang took a step forward, staring at the child Gao Tu was holding tightly in his arms, and asked him hesitantly: "Is that my child?"

"No!" Gao Tu answered almost instinctively. He took several steps back and looked like he was about to run away in fear.

Shen Wenlang’s heart was filled with dense bubbles of pain. He didn’t know why Gao Tu lied and said the child was not his, nor did he know why Gao Tu was so scared.

He didn’t know what he should do to calm Gao Tu down and make him no longer afraid of him.

"Dad." Gao Lele called Gao Tu again in a low voice.

He felt Gao Tu was trembling, so even though he was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, he still tried hard to hug Gao Tu back and tried hard to comfort him. He rubbed Gao Tu’s cheek with his masked face and told him: "Let’s go back. I don’t want to play anymore."

Gao Tu nodded at him sloppily: "Okay, let’s go back."

But Shen Wenlang was like an insurmountable mountain, easily blocking his way. Ma Heng, who tried to stop him, was pinned by the bodyguards behind Shen Wenlang, and could not move.

"You scumbag! Stay away from the little rabbit!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenlang turned his head and glared at him fiercely. The high-level Alpha’s targeted oppression pheromone was not strong, but it was enough to make people tremble.

"Little rabbit?" He chewed on this overly intimate name nervously, his face gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

Ma Heng was restrained by the bodyguards and could not move. He saw Shen Wenlang walking towards Gao Tu from the corner of his eye. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "You son of a bitch! He’s already like this, what else do you want? Do you want to force him to death?"

The instantly increased pressure from the pheromones caused Ma Heng’s face to twist in pain. If his arm had not been twisted by the bodyguard, he would have almost fallen down.

The level difference between him and Shen Wenlang was too great, so it was called a confrontation, but in fact it was just one-sided bullying.

Shen Wenlang stared at him expressionlessly, like a wolf about to eat his flesh. The feeling of oppression was unprecedented. Although he tried his best to maintain his composure, the powerful oppressive pheromones still made Ma Heng groan in pain uncontrollably.

"stop!"

Shen Wenlang paused and turned his head.

Gao Tu frowned, looking very worried about Ma Heng, and said to him in a hurried voice: "Shen Wenlang, our business has nothing to do with him, let him go!"

For some reason, the word "we" greatly pleased Shen Wenlang. It was as if Gao Tu and he were one, and their affairs had nothing to do with anyone else, and they could only discuss and resolve them behind closed doors.

But Gao Tu’s face turned pale as paper just by seeing him, and he didn’t look like he could be alone in a room with him.

Shen Wenlang didn’t want to scare him again, so he tried his best to control his temper, softened his expression, and walked towards him.

"Gao Tu, why are you hiding from me?"

Gao Tu seldom thought of Shen Wenlang these days.

When he occasionally dreamed of him, it was always during his school days.

He tried his best to avoid thinking about Shen Wenlang as an adult, tried his best to avoid remembering the daily time they had spent together at work or in private, and tried his best to avoid remembering Shen Wenlang’s hot body temperature and the lustful kiss that day.

It seemed that as long as he didn’t think about those things, Gao Tu’s unrealistic love for Shen Wenlang would always remain in his school days, with an inaccessible beautiful hazy feeling, without the need for bad lies and ugly deceptions.

"Don’t hide from me, come here, let’s talk."

Shen Wenlang today is the same as Gao Tu remembered, still tall, handsome, domineering, and strong to the point of being overbearing.

However, the expression on his face when he looked at Gao Tu contained pain and caution that Gao Tu could not understand.

But Gao Tu didn’t want to understand at all. He just wanted to take his child and leave quickly.

He couldn’t understand why Shen Wenlang still refused to let him go even though he had already left his hometown and gone to Country V.

Was he worried that he and his children would try to divide up his kingdom?

The air conditioning in Shen Wenlang’s business car was very strong. Sitting in the car in silence, Gao Tu couldn’t help but let his mind wander. The more he thought about it, the more chilled he became. He couldn’t help but shiver.

"Turn down the wind a little." Shen Wenlang, who was sitting on his right, suddenly said to the driver. Then he reached over the middle seat armrest and naturally placed his palm on the back of Gao Tu’s hand.

Gao Tu shrank back, with obvious stiffness and unnaturalness, and almost immediately pulled his hand away.

Shen Wenlang felt very uncomfortable, but he didn’t show it. He sensed Gao Tu’s vigilance and fear, and didn’t want to scare him again, so he moved very gently, like a wolf trying to get close to a timid rabbit, concentrating and keeping his composure.

Song Feifei and Ma Heng were in another car, staying with the bodyguards.

Currently, there are only Shen Wenlang, Gao Tu, Gao Lele, Xiao Huasheng and the nanny holding him in the nine-seater business car.

Peanut has always been precocious, and his mentality is nothing like that of a child who is just about to turn three.

He turned his little head and observed everything in the car curiously.

With the pacifier in his mouth, Peanut was keenly aware that his fearless godfather seemed a little afraid of the Omega holding the child, and treated him with caution, as if he was treating fragile glass.

Gao Lele stayed quietly in Gao Tu’s arms. He should have sat in the infant seat, but Gao Tu refused to let go, so he cooperated and hugged his Omega father’s neck tightly, and sat with him in the back seat of the spacious and luxurious business car.

The first second he saw Gao Lele, Shen Wenlang was sure that Gao Tu must be holding his child. But when the father and son got into the car, he was shocked to find that it was not the case.

Gao Lele and Gao Tu were covered with a faint, apricot-like fruity scent. This unfamiliar pheromone smell came from another Alpha. Shen Wenlang recognized it as Ma Heng’s scent.

His head buzzed, and he suddenly felt cold in the clear summer sky.

Gao Tu tried his best to keep a distance from him. The child in his arms was wearing a very cute Mickey Mouse mask. The child looked at Shen Wenlang curiously, sizing him up with the cartoon character’s overly large oval eyes.

Blood ties are truly amazing.

Due to the lack of soothing pheromones from his Alpha father during his fetal period, Gao Lele has been an insecure child since childhood. Except for Ma Heng, he is very repulsive to other Alphas and cannot get too close to them.

But he showed no fear of Shen Wenlang’s approach, on the contrary, he was very curious. His short legs were placed quietly in the gap between Gao Tu’s legs, his hands were holding his father, but his face was always facing Shen Wenlang.

Gao Tu had a strong fear in his heart. He was afraid that he would lose the child in his arms, for whom he had almost risked his life.

"Wenlang Dad, who are they? Can they play with me?"

Peanut in the back seat broke free from the babysitter’s arms, walked up to Shen Wenlang in his shiny shoes, and raised his little face to look at him.

Wen Lang... Dad?

Although he knew he was being unreasonable, Gao Tu’s heart still felt a sharp pain, and he subconsciously hugged Gao Lele tighter.

Noticing the uneasiness of his Omega father, Gao Lele whispered "Dad" to him, then tried to distract him and asked him, "When are we going home?"

"Very soon." Gao Tu looked at the child soothingly, took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and tried to negotiate with his former employer.

But before he could speak, Shen Wenlang suddenly said, "This is Xiao Huasheng, Hua Yong’s child." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Gao Tu is not actually a good actor or a good liar. On the contrary, his thoughts and actions are consistent, making him very easy to see through.

But in the past, Shen Wenlang had never doubted him, so he didn’t make a careful dialectical observation.

Oddly enough, ever since the day Gao Tu had clumsily appeared beside him, the suspicious Shen Wenlang had been uncharacteristically unresponsive and had never once doubted his motives or good intentions.

The preconceived blind belief and dependence made the shrewd Shen Wenlang stupid, and he could not realize that this Beta was an Omega in disguise.

But now, Shen Wenlang, who had been lost and found again, treated everything about Gao Tu with caution. No matter how small his movements and expressions were, they could not escape Shen Wenlang’s eyes.

After Xiao Huasheng called him "Wen Lang Dad", this Omega who didn’t know how to express his inner thoughts correctly frowned slightly.

Shen Wenlang felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and consoled himself by concluding that Gao Tu must be jealous.

He immediately explained Peanut’s life experience to Gao Tu, but soon discovered that Gao Tu seemed to have a deeper misunderstanding.

After listening to his brief introduction, Gao Tu was silent for a few seconds, then forced a smile at him and said, "Congratulations."

At first, Shen Wenlang didn’t know what he was congratulating himself for, until Gao Tu looked away, lowered his eyes, avoided him and looked elsewhere, and suddenly an idea came to him.

In order to cooperate with Hua Yong, he and Hua Yong deliberately showed their intimacy, deliberately causing Sheng Shaoyou to misunderstand. Then Gao Tu, who was following him, must have misunderstood as well.

Maybe, in Gao Tu’s view, Shen Wenlang’s flustered explanation of Xiao Huasheng’s life experience was equivalent to announcing on the spot that "Secretary Hua gave birth to a child for me."

Shen Wenlang cursed Hua Yong a thousand times in his heart, but he didn’t dare to show any anger on his face, for fear of scaring away Gao Tu who was full of vigilance.

"I’ve been looking for you for a long time." He chose his words carefully and spoke in a soft voice.

Seeing Gao Tu shift his gaze to his face again, he continued to complain: "But I can’t find it."

Their eyes met briefly, then looked away as if they had been electrocuted.

Gao Tu lowered his eyes again and interrupted him softly but firmly: "Mr. Shen." He said: "Since we all have new lives, let the past be the past."

"My father was wrong to blackmail you. But I have aborted the child. I won’t ask you for money." With each sentence he spoke, his head drooped lower, as if he was ashamed, and he almost buried his face in the shoulder of the child in his arms.

A strange pain surged in Shen Wenlang’s chest. He wanted to tell Gao Tu that he didn’t need to feel so ashamed because it wasn’t his fault at all. He also wanted to tell him that after he left, Shen Wenlang would never have a "new life" again. All that would be left in his life was the pain of loss and the rush of searching.

But he wanted to hear Gao Tu finish his words, so he tried hard to resist the urge to speak and listened to him continue in a slightly hoarse voice: "I’m sorry for lying to you before. I can compensate you in any way you want, but don’t..." Gao Tu paused, as if choked by great fear and pain. He swallowed hard before he was able to finish the second half of the sentence, begging Shen Wenlang: "Please don’t hurt my child."

Shen Wenlang knew from the beginning that Gao Tu was very kind to him. This kind of kindness was not just ordinary flattery.

Since childhood, there have been many people who have tried to please Shen Wenlang, but Gao Tu treats him differently from others. Because although Gao Tu was good to him, he would never be servile or fawning.

Although he was not well off and always liked to buy cheap food and drinks that Shen Wenlang didn’t eat, he would tell him with a red face that "waste is wrong", and when Shen Wenlang called him "retarded", he would argue "I’m not" and "Don’t talk nonsense".

Shen Wenlang felt that his genuine anger and arguments were precious.

They have always been equal.

During the time when he lost Gao Tu, Shen Wenlang often recalled the little things they had experienced together in the past. He always felt that fate had been very kind to him, and that when he was studying, the god of luck had generously descended upon him, allowing him to meet Gao Tu, whom he could rely on wholeheartedly.

Gao Tu has the kind of backbone and pride that Shen Wenlang likes most.

That’s why he felt offended when Gaotu and other colleagues joked that they would only stay if they got shares in the group.

He hated Gao Tu for acting as if he was as vulgar as everyone else, and he didn’t want Gao Tu to be like everyone else who liked Shen Wenlang just because of his favorable conditions.

Shen Wenlang doesn’t want Gao Tu to like his money, but he hopes that Gao Tu will like Shen Wenlang as others like Shen Wenlang’s money.

He always thought that no matter how much Gao Tu liked him, he would never bow to him.

But at this moment, he lowered his posture and begged Shen Wenlang humbly, asking him not to hurt his and other people’s children.

Shen Wenlang felt desperate as if he had swallowed a deadly poison.

He felt helpless and at a loss as to what to do.

I don’t know how to turn back time, to the day when Gao Tu asked him, "What will you do if your Omega has a child in the future?", or to the day when Gao Ming said in the restaurant, "If you want us to have an abortion, give me 10 million, not a penny less."

Any day is fine, as long as Shen Wenlang has time to tell Gao Tu.

"I hate Omegas, but if that Omega is you, I will love you like crazy."

"I don’t like children at all, but if it’s yours, I can’t bear to see him get hurt."

But it was too late. Shen Wenlang had no chance to save the relationship. He couldn’t say to Gao Tu, "I didn’t dislike him, I just didn’t know."

Compared to the solemn atmosphere among the adults, Peanut is obviously much happier. He is used to being spoiled, growing up in plenty of love, and is naturally bright and cheerful. He hates gloom and sadness the most.

Seeing that his godfather looked depressed as if he had eaten sour plums, he climbed up by climbing onto Shen Wenlang’s knees, climbed onto his knees, found a comfortable sitting position, and made himself the same height as Gao Lele in Gao Tu’s arms.

Peanut started to socialize in a childish voice and said to Gao Lele, "I’m really sorry for bumping into you by accident just now. But your mask is so beautiful, can you lend it to me?"

Gao Lele hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn’t bear to reject the pretty, white-and-white child in front of her who was as pretty as a steamed dumpling.

Before Gao Tu could stop him, he took off the mask and handed it to Xiao Huasheng, "Here you go."

The god of luck comes again.

Shen Wenlang looked up and saw Gao Lele in Gao Tu’s arms. He was stunned. Then the bitterness on the tip of his tongue turned into sweetness, and the sour plum instantly turned into sweet apricot.

He smiled knowingly. ——Gao Lele had a face that would make people discourage him from going for a paternity test with Shen Wenlang.

He is almost a carbon copy of Shen Wenlang, they are just like each other! What kind of DNA test is this? It’s just a waste of money!

The father-son relationship between them is obvious to any idiot, unless they are blind!

Shen Wenlang wanted to pick up the little peanut and give it a couple of kisses. He really did love this little guy for a reason!

... Three months later.

Gao Lele was very upset.

Because he found that Gao Tu often disappeared in the middle of the night.

This story begins when a new neighbor moved in next door to their house.

They met their new neighbor at the amusement park, and since then, he has been attached to his father. Not only did he insist on sending them home, he also took the initiative to move next door to them, pestering them every day, enthusiastically calling Gao Lele "baby" and Gao Tu "baby".

Gao Lele actually didn’t hate the new neighbor very much, but he felt that his father seemed to be nervous every time he saw that neighbor.

Especially after that day when he came home from the amusement park, the neighbor hugged his father, stood at the door and cried loudly, repeatedly saying "I’m sorry", "I like you very much" and "Can you give me another chance" to his father, Gao Tu’s face would turn red every time he saw that neighbor .

Of course, Gao Lele’s troubles were not caused by these things.

His troubles were mainly because his father had been disappearing in the middle of the night recently.

Oddly enough, although it is not the season for sage and iris to bloom recently, Gao Lele can always smell the rich fragrance of these two flowers and plants in the air. This is a scent that makes him feel at ease.

That night, Gao Lele, who had eaten a lot of watermelon before going to bed, woke up because he was suffocating. He rubbed his eyes, climbed out of bed, and walked to the bathroom obediently by himself.

After using the bathroom, he heard familiar conversation coming from the living room.

Gao Lele curiously poked his little head out to look into the living room. The curtains were drawn and the lights in the living room were dimly on.

He heard the neighbor chuckle and say, "One more kiss, please?" He tried his best to deceive his gullible father and lied to him, "Just once."

Then Gao Tu lowered his voice and said softly, "Don’t make a fuss. Don’t wake Lele up."

"I’ll go and comfort him when he wakes up." The neighbor said shamelessly, "Wait until the little one falls asleep, then come find me next door, okay?"

Gao Tu stopped talking. He put his arm around Shen Wenlang’s shoulders, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and coaxed him, "You go back first."

The neighbor was like a cat that hadn’t been weaned. He reluctantly nudged Gao Tu’s shoulder with his chin and said lazily, "Then come quickly." Then he grumbled dissatisfiedly, "Why don’t you bring the kid along? Why do you have to avoid him? Go ask whose parents don’t sleep together?"

Gao Tu smiled briefly, let go of him, told him to "go back quickly", and said "wait until Lele falls asleep first."

Before the adults came back to check on him, Gao Lele returned to his bedroom, covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes.

But he couldn’t fall asleep.

The faint scent of iris and sage in the air made him feel very safe and a happiness as sweet as honey arose in his heart.

So, when Gao Tu quietly pushed the door open and tucked the quilt in for him.

Gao Lele suddenly opened her big, bright eyes that were very similar to Shen Wenlang’s.

"Dad." Gao Lele said to Gao Tu, "If you want to go next door, you can do it now. You don’t have to wait until I fall asleep."

As he spoke, he thought that he might have to change his name to Shen Lele in the future.
