Evil Love Appears chapter 28

Xu Jiale stood shirtless at the doorway, staring in astonishment at Jin Chu, who wore a bright smile.

For a brief moment, he even earnestly wondered, “Am I dreaming?”

However, a soft and tender child’s voice rang out from near his legs, bringing him back to reality completely.

“Daddy!”

Xu Nanyi, with rosy cheeks, was just tall enough to reach Xu Jiale’s waist, so when he was lifted, Xu Jiale’s loose sleeping shorts were tugged down a bit.

“Ouch!” Xu Jiale shivered. He wasn’t wearing anything underneath, and due to the morning’s cuddles with a temporarily marked Omega, he was having some reactions he definitely didn’t want Xu Nanyi to see. So, he immediately clutched his waistband tightly.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he bent down and scooped up Xu Nanyi.

“Darling Nanyi…” When he saw the little guy’s round face in his arms, he forgot about everything else. A warm smile filled his face as he leaned down to give Xu Nanyi a kiss. “Daddy missed you so much!”

Xu Nanyi, tickled by the stubble on his Alpha father’s chin, burst into laughter and then gave Xu Jiale a big kiss. “Daddy! I missed you too, and I brought you some Parmaham! I also brought chocolate for Ruo!”

“Thank you, darling…” Xu Jiale’s eyes disappeared with laughter. “You clever little kiddo, Daddy will take you to see Ruo in a couple of days.”

Xu Nanyi was referring to his favorite Italian Parma ham, and the little guy had yet to learn the Chinese name for this ham.

As for Ruo, he was Amon’s son, who was the same age as Xu Nanyi. Since he looked cute and adorable, Xu Nanyi always brought gifts for Ruo every time he visited, being exceptionally attentive.

“Jiale…” The Omega standing at the door had been smiling as he watched the father and son talk. Only now did he suddenly speak. “Is there someone else in the room?”

Xu Jiale set Xu Nanyi down and hesitated for a moment before responding.

Jin Chu, although a 30-year-old Omega, had fair and delicate skin, with large and bright peach blossom eyes, showing no signs of aging. It was the face that only people who had never experienced hardship could have. He clearly knew that he still possessed rare beauty, and as he spoke, there was a hint of a smile in the corner of his mouth. He looked playfully at Xu Jiale and blinked his eyes. “It smells so sweet in here,”

As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Xu Jiale’s chest and collarbone, where there were suspicious marks. “You’re not very thoughtful, Jiale. How could you not inform me of the new development?”

Because their child was present, he asked discreetly, and Xu Nanyi didn’t catch on.

“…”

Xu Jiale was briefly at a loss.

From the moment Jin Chu and Xu Nanyi appeared, Fu Xiaoyu had been nervously curled up under the covers. His mind was in chaos. How could there be such an embarrassingly shameful situation in the world? He couldn’t understand why it had to be today, when he was lying naked on the sofa, that Jin Chu returned to find Xu Jiale.

Was Jin Chu here to stay?

He thought of the electric toothbrushes that Xu Jiale had prepared carefully for the father and son in the bathroom, and he was thrown into panic. He couldn’t imagine what he should do next.

Xu Jiale would probably tell him to leave, for the sake of propriety. After all, he wasn’t supposed to be here.

With these thoughts, Fu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but clutch the covers tightly with his fingers.

Even though he was hiding, he strained his ears and listened carefully to the conversation at the door. When he heard Jin Chu’s question about “new developments,” he even couldn’t help but poke his head out from under the covers.

But at that moment, Xu Nanyi’s excited voice rang out, “Daddy, kitty! I want to pet the kitty!”

Clearly, he had spotted Xia’an in the room.

With Xia’an’s alarmed “meow,” the child’s excited footsteps echoed, getting closer and closer.

Fu Xiaoyu lay on the couch, looking somewhat foolish as Xia’an fled in panic, rushing from the living room to the bedroom.

Oh no, Nanyi was chasing Xia’an into the living room!

With this thought in mind, he heard a child’s innocent “Wow!” above his head.

Fu Xiaoyu raised his face and saw a round-faced boy with twinkling eyes staring at him beside the sofa.

Oh my…

Fu Xiaoyu’s whole body stiffened, like a small animal feigning death, motionless, as he locked eyes with Nanyi.

He couldn’t remember ever feeling this panicked before. With Nanyi shifting the covers even slightly, he would reveal his body, marked all over with signs of intimacy.

He wished he could just disappear.

In that moment, Fu Xiaoyu even recalled the terrifying nightmares of his childhood.

The older brother of an Omega that his Alpha step mother had been dating at the time, had found them and brought people to their house. Those people blocked them inside their small home, sternly accusing Fu Jing of being the third wheel who had interfered in someone else’s relationship. When they realized that Fu Xiaoyu wanted to protect Fu Jing, they continuously pushed him aside. Later, he was huddled in a corner, wiping away tears, wishing that his younger self could just disappear.

Fear once again coursed through his body. He couldn’t help but think, did this innocent child see him as a third wheel through his eyes?

“Wow…”

Xu Nanyi looked at him, the tone of his voice quieter this time.

The boy’s face was rosy and his eyes smiled in crescents as he brought his face closer to Fu Xiaoyu. Fu Xiaoyu tensed up all over, but then, he heard Xu Nanyi say, “Brother, you’re so pretty.”

Fu Xiaoyu even thought he misheard.

But the boy in front of him had rosy cheeks, and his eyes smiled in crescents, looking at him with sparkling eyes. That look was as if he had just spotted a beautiful kitten at a pet store and was about to reach out and pick it up.

“Xu Nanyi!”

Clearly, Xu Jiale had quickly rushed in, and he immediately picked up Xu Nanyi from the sofa.

“Daddy…” Xu Nanyi didn’t get angry, but gave Xu Jiale another kiss, then excitedly called out to Jin Chu at the door, “Aiden, there’s a very pretty brother here.”

He seemed to be calling Jin Chu by his English name, rather than “Dad.”

“Nanyi…” Xu Jiale rubbed Nanyi’s head, although there was a slight age gap issue, it wasn’t the right time to correct it. He could only helplessly go along with it, “Brother doesn’t feel well right now. Be good, go to dad and don’t disturb brother, okay?”

Saying this, he glanced towards the outside, lowering his voice, “Jin Chu—”

The omega outside shrugged and said calmly, “Don’t look at me; your son is behaving like this because he’s too much like you.”

“Alright…” Nanyi was obedient, nodding, and then reluctantly looked back at Fu Xiaoyu before running to Jin Chu’s side.

Xu Jiale then bent down to look at the omega on the couch.

“Xu Jiale…”

Fu Xiaoyu’s voice was trembling, and he almost felt a sense of post-traumatic exhaustion. He couldn’t help but hold Xu Jiale’s neck tightly.

“My… where are my underwear?” Fu Xiaoyu squeezed out some embarrassing words from between his teeth.

“Um…” Xu Jiale reached around near the couch, searching for a while until he finally found two pairs of underwear thrown together on the carpet. He cleared his throat, seemingly nonchalant, and tucked them under the covers.

When Xu Jiale tried to get up, Fu Xiaoyu hugged him again.

He could only gently say near Fu Xiaoyu’s ear, “Just wait here…”

Just three words, and they strangely calmed Fu Xiaoyu down.

When Xu Jiale returned to the door, Jin Chu complained a bit, “Xu Jiale, you haven’t answered me yet. Is there something new?”

Jin Chu was the typical sweet-guy omega, and even when he complained or urged, he had a smile on his face.

Xu Jiale gazed at him, a face he’d been fond of for seven or eight years now, and it was still captivating. This was the second time Jin Chu had asked him who Fu Xiaoyu was.

The first time, he remained silent because he was still uncertain.

However, when he returned to the living room just now, Fu Xiaoyu was trembling so much while hugging him.

Fu Xiaoyu was a very prideful omega, and Xu Jiale, knowing this, couldn’t bear to say to anyone, “This is the omega who begged me to relieve his heat period.”

“Yeah…” Xu Jiale eventually confirmed in a low voice.

Jin Chu looked at him and unconsciously paused for a moment before resuming his smile, asking, “Can I meet him?”

“Don’t mess around…” Xu Jiale wasn’t too pleased. Jin Chu’s statement was clearly inappropriate. Knowing that Fu Xiaoyu in the room was in heat, how could he allow someone else to meet him?

“Alright, I was just kidding. Don’t be upset,” Jin Chu quickly gave in upon noticing Xu Jiale’s discomfort. “How about we meet another time, Xu Jiale? I’m catching a flight to Switzerland this afternoon. Is it okay if Nanyi stays with you for a few days?”

“Jin Chu…” Xu Jiale couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly. “Why are you going to Switzerland? And you brought Nanyi over so suddenly without even giving a heads-up.”

Of course, Xu Jiale would welcome Nanyi. However, the situation was different now; he just didn’t get notified in advance, leading to this awkward situation.

“I want to go skiing in Switzerland,” Jin Chu explained.

Upon hearing the word “skiing,” Xu Jiale understood that Jin Chu intended to go with that skiing instructor.

Although they had been divorced for more than half a year, six-year-old Nanyi still didn’t quite grasp the true meaning of divorce. He could only vaguely understand that his parents were living separately.

Jin Chu and Xu Jiale maintained an unspoken understanding.

Even though Jin Chu could be carefree, he hadn’t allowed any new alpha into his and Nanyi’s lives. So for this two-person trip, it was only natural to ask Xu Jiale to take care of Nanyi.

Seeing that Xu Jiale remained silent, Jin Chu turned and looked at him with a pair of large, expectant eyes. He said, “Jiale, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was a bit sudden, and I didn’t expect to inconvenience you…”

After a brief pause, his tone softened quickly, “I’m sorry; I won’t do it this way next time. It’s just that this time, everything, including the plane tickets, has already been booked, and it’s not convenient to change.”

“Alright…” Xu Jiale sighed, rubbed his temples. He had a splitting headache but had no choice but to agree, especially since he had many friends in B City, and Nanyi was familiar with them, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to manage.

“Did you bring his asthma medication?” Xu Jiale asked.

“I did…” Jin Chu pointed to Nanyi’s little backpack. Nanyi had asthma, and while it had been under control for quite some time, they always kept the inhaler handy, just in case.

Jin Chu then bent down to kiss Nanyi several times.

Xu Jiale leaned against the door frame, looking at them with mixed emotions.

Regardless of the circumstances, Jin Chu was very affectionate with the child. However, Jin Chu himself was essentially still a child at heart. Even after all these years, Nanyi still only called Jin Chu “Aiden” or “Jin Chu.”

Nanyi said he was Aiden’s knight.

In a way, even though Nanyi was so young, it seemed like he instinctively recognized that in this family, he and Xu Jiale were meant to protect this one and only omega.

Before leaving, Jin Chu teased Nanyi, asking, “How handsome is the brother inside?”

Nanyi raised his arms high and made a big heart shape, saying, “He’s this… handsome.”

Hearing Nanyi’s description, Jin Chu’s gaze instantly became serious. He stood up straight, gazed deeply into the room, and then said, “Take care… Xu Jiale.”
