Cyrysanthemum Garden (ABO desire)-Chapter 86: Extra:Liar 8

The knocking on the door suddenly stopped.

But Alpha’s cold voice didn’t stop.

"Gao Tu, are you okay?"

With fear and shock, his throat felt like it was being cut by a knife. He didn’t have the strength to vomit anymore, but his nausea and dizziness didn’t get better at all. Gao Tu leaned against the door for a long time before he could barely stand up. He wiped his sweat in a panic and hesitantly pushed open the door.

Sure enough, outside the door was Shen Wenlang’s handsome but gloomy face.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Gao Tu was speechless, his vision was black and white. He couldn’t answer, and he didn’t have the energy to lie. He just kept his pale lips tightly shut like a clam shell that couldn’t be opened, and walked out with weak steps.

The mirror in the bathroom showed a face that looked worrying. Apart from the slightly red eyes and the tip of the nose, even the lips were blue.

Because of vomiting, Gao Tu took off his glasses.

His eyes, which had been hidden behind the lenses all day, were sunken in their light blue eye sockets. The corners of his eyes drooped slightly, his pupils were watery, and he looked very miserable.

Gao Tu stood by the sink for more than ten seconds until the dizziness passed. Then he lowered his head, squeezed out some foam and started washing his hands. After washing his hands, he scooped up some water and started gargling and washing his face.

"Why aren’t you talking?" Shen Wenlang followed behind him, frowning, his face becoming even more sullen.

"I’m fine." Gao Tu wiped the lenses with paper towels, put his glasses back on, and finally turned around to look at Shen Wenlang.

"Could you please go out first? I want to wash my face."

He looked visibly more haggard. Probably because of the vomiting, the corners of his eyes and the tip of his nose were red, and he looked a little pitiful.

Gao Tu’s embarrassment and weakness, his escape and dodging made Shen Wenlang feel uncomfortable.

In fact, he had noticed something was wrong with Gaotu a long time ago.

This Beta may be sick, and most likely has gastroenteritis. Many of the symptoms were present before he left the company, such as being in a trance, often distracted, and always hiding in the employee restroom to vomit secretly.

The Omega who was pregnant with Gaotu’s seed probably didn’t know how to take care of people. Even though his own Beta was so sick, he didn’t even bother to take him to the hospital.

Obviously, Shen Wenlang, who secretly observed Gao Tu’s every move, was much better than the plagued Omega. As a superior and former classmate, Shen Wenlang didn’t mind taking Gao Tu to the hospital.

But since he submitted his resignation and moved to the secretary’s office outside, Gao Tu avoided him like a snake. In the company, Shen Wenlang couldn’t even talk to him alone, let alone take him to the hospital after get off work.

Over the years, Gaotu has been responsible for his itinerary planning and even his personal daily life. This stubborn Beta who goes wherever he wants almost controls all his actions.

He hid from Shen Wenlang more professionally than a celebrity hides from paparazzi.

Shen Wenlang hid at the entrance of the company several times, waiting to pretend to run into Gao Tu, but failed every time. The experience of repeated failures made the S-level Alpha, who rarely tasted defeat, furious and angry.

Just let him vomit. He likes to stubbornly refuse to see a doctor and likes to avoid Shen Wenlang. So let him vomit! Even if he dies of the disease, that’s it!

Having said that, Shen Wenlang couldn’t help but "happen" to go to the public restroom and "accidentally" run into Gao Tu.

He would "occasionally" pass by the secretary’s office, call out the head of the secretarial team with a stern face, glance at Gao Tu’s back in the glass compartment as he worked hard, and scold the innocent head of the secretarial team.

Under Shen Wenlang’s overly intensive personal care, during the month when Gaotu was handing over the work, the entire secretarial team kept their heads down and achieved unprecedented work efficiency.

Standing at the door of Heci’s public restroom, Shen Wenlang, who had just been politely asked by Gao Tu to leave, felt a little unsteady. He hesitated whether to rush in again.

Maybe this time, I should just take Gao Tu to the night emergency room and ask him what the hell is going on! Why is he vomiting like this! Is he eating well? Why is he not seeing a doctor?

Shen Wenlang crossed his arms, thinking anxiously, and in a moment, an outrageous idea flashed through his mind.

Sheng Shaoyou also vomited today, and his symptoms seemed similar to Gaotu’s.

Shen Wenlang’s heart tightened, and he almost immediately suspected that Gao Tu was pregnant too.

But after thinking about it, I suddenly felt that it was too outrageous.

Gaotu is a very ordinary Beta. Just like Sheng Shaoyou, it is "lucky" to encounter an Enigma that only appears once in billions of people. The probability of an accidental pregnancy is extremely low.

Besides, Shen Wenlang didn’t want Gao Tu to get pregnant with someone else’s child at all, and of course it would be best if someone else didn’t get pregnant with Gao Tu’s child either.

So it must be gastroenteritis after all.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but think of the reason why Gao Tu resigned, and he suddenly felt itchy.

That filthy Omega who can’t take care of his partner dares to get pregnant! Don’t let the child and the Beta die from his care!

Damn it! If he wants to die, can’t he just die alone?

Why did he have to drag Gaotu into this?

Wait, his high path?

Gaotu, mine?

Shen Wenlang stroked his hair angrily and began to think seriously about what Hua Yong had just said.

If he confessed his feelings to her, would Gaotu accept it?

Most likely not.

That man is a super stubborn old-fashioned person.

How could he abandon his pregnant Omega partner and be with him?

Ah, so annoying, if only all the Omegas in the world could die. That way, he could openly possess that super troublesome Beta who was very good at getting sick and always made him feel short of breath!

The more Shen Wenlang thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He let out a long sigh and took a step forward, hesitating whether to go into the bathroom again.

Why is there no movement all of a sudden? He is so stubborn, is he unconscious?

Gastroenteritis can easily cause electrolyte imbalance and lead to coma.

After all, we are classmates and colleagues, so I can’t just stand by and watch. Thinking of this, Shen Wenlang turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

At the corner, he ran into Gao Tu.

The Beta whose lips completely faded in shock at the sight of him was not unconscious, but his face looked almost dead.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen. Why are you here?" He called him with trembling lips, as if he saw not his former boss and old classmate, but a monster with three heads, nine mouths and forty-seven arms.

It’s just that he didn’t reply to WeChat messages. Is it necessary to be so scared?

Shen Wenlang was very unhappy, and his expression immediately changed from worry to gloomy:

"What? Are you so scared when you saw me? Did you steal some secrets when you left the company?"

Hearing him say this, Gao Tu was even more frightened. His face turned even paler, and he stammered to defend himself: "I, I didn’t steal—" "Okay." Shen Wenlang felt a prick in his heart and frowned to interrupt him: "I know you don’t have it. I don’t think you have the courage."

After just a few days of not seeing him, Gao Tu looked thinner and his face was as pale as a ghost.

Shen Wenlang looked at him with a shaky look, and was even more dissatisfied. This Beta was very strange, always arousing his rare pity, but this feeling was very contradictory. Because every time Gao Tu disobeyed him, a strange desire for sadism would surge up from the depths of Shen Wenlang’s heart.

For example, when Gaotu offered him his resignation.

At that moment, Shen Wenlang had to use all his strength to barely control himself.

He had to be very, very careful to resist the urge to grab Gao Tu’s neck, to resist the urge to feel his pulse beating against his thumb.

Let him go.

He is just your subordinate, your classmate.

Let him go.

Shen Wenlang advised himself again and again, pretending to be calm. He raised his head, stared at Gao Tu, whose lips were tightly pursed, and asked him calmly, "Why?"

Gao Tu bit his lip, unable to say more, and said to him dryly: "I have written down the reasons for my resignation in my resignation report. I hope you can approve it as soon as possible because of our years of working together."

"Why?" Shen Wenlang asked again.

Because he was too nervous, Gao Tu, who was always good at reading his emotions, missed the subtle tremor in Shen Wenlang’s voice.

"My Omega is pregnant." Gao Tu said bluntly.

After ten years of lying, he seemed to have become a skilled liar. His heartbeat soared to 140, and his ears were ringing so loudly that he could not hear anything.

He opened his mouth and said word by word: "I need to take care of my children, so I have to resign."

Shen Wenlang’s expression suddenly turned bad, and Gao Tu’s eyes became hot. Fortunately, his dry eyes were very sensible and did not shed any inappropriate tears.

He calmly said to the Alpha in front of him whom he had deceived and loved for ten years, "I have to leave you" and "I’m sorry."

"What happened to you? Why did you vomit like this?"

"Gastroenteritis." Gao Tu answered word by word.

Even though he was no longer employed and no longer needed to draw salary from Shen Wenlang to make a living, Gao Tu was still respectful to him. On the surface, it was not obvious that he had not replied to Shen Wenlang’s WeChat messages for three days.

"Didn’t you quit your job because that unmarried Omega who dared to mess around with you got pregnant?"

Standing at the door of Heci’s bathroom, Shen Wenlang was facing the light, so Gao Tu couldn’t see the expression on his face. But he could still taste the contempt and ridicule in his drawn-out voice: "You vomited like that, if you didn’t know, you would think you were the one who was pregnant."

The nightmare suddenly became reality.

Gao Tu’s face couldn’t be any worse. He protected his abdomen, his eyes fixed, like a primary school student who subconsciously recited the standard answer, and said quickly: "It’s not me. I’m not pregnant."

Perhaps realizing that his behavior was too strange, he paused, stiffly lowered his arms that were covering his abdomen, and then asked Shen Wenlang: "Boss Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Wenlang was stunned by his question, and immediately became angry and embarrassed, and was about to say: What does this have to do with you?

But when he saw Beta’s miserable face, his heart softened for some reason, and he changed his words: "I came to see a friend."

Gao Tu stared at his face, as if carefully determining whether he was lying.

Shen Wenlang felt guilty when he was looked at by him. He coughed and explained, "Hua Yong is sick, so I came to see him. Secretary Gao has been away for three days. He didn’t answer the phone or reply to the message. How come he is still so nosy when we meet?"

Flower Secretary.

Oh, the only Omega who can be accepted by Shen Wenlang and can approach him openly.

Gao Tu smiled with difficulty. The sharp pain in his heart made his expression more vivid. "Sorry. That’s not what I meant."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing." Gao Tu said, "I wish Secretary Hua a speedy recovery. Well, goodbye, Mr. Shen."

He turned and was about to leave.

Shen Wenlang’s body moved ahead of his brain, and he grabbed his arm before he had time to think.

Gao Tu staggered backwards as he was pulled by him.

Shen Wenlang was surprised at his own abruptness, and even more surprised at the wrist in his hand, which was ridiculously thin. However, after a month without close contact, Gao Tu seemed to have quietly become thinner and thinner right under his nose.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"W-what?"

"Are you really short of money?" Shen Wenlang asked, "So you haven’t eaten well?"

Shen Wenlang’s eyes seemed to be warm. Gao Tu felt his eyes burning just by looking at him. He had to look away in panic and helplessness.

"No."

"Gao Tu, you haven’t been this thin since high school, right? If you have any difficulties, tell me. We are classmates, and I will help you."

"No need." Gao Tu pulled his hand out of his hot palm awkwardly and tried to refuse: "Nothing to help. I eat a lot every day. Thank you Mr. Shen for your concern. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

It felt like there was a fire burning in Shen Wenlang’s heart.

He clearly felt Gao Tu’s rejection.

This is unprecedented.

To be honest, Gao Tu had never rejected him since his student days, no matter if it was a request or help. As long as it came from Shen Wenlang, Gao Tu had never said no.

The Gao Tu in front of him, whose eyes were dodging and avoiding his gaze and who firmly refused his help, was so unfamiliar that Shen Wenlang felt afraid.

It seemed like he really didn’t need him anymore and was planning to leave him completely.
