Chapter 153: Episode 13.4 Pampering
"That..." Rong Suyin looked at his husband and son to and fro, discreetly asking for help from them, but they only averted their gaze. Bai Weisheng grabbed a piece of tangerine and peeled it.
While Bai Tingfeng stopped his whining and stared intently at his husband, probably trying to read the expression of his omega. Yanyan was still doing his best to get the blood on his Papa’s legs flowing. He’s too busy to be bothered by adult’s concerns.
With no one to answer Shen Yuan, all he could do was awkwardly laugh, "Hahaha. Of course, they would visit you. They are your family anyway!"
Rong Suyin tried to salvage the situation by flashing his refreshing smile, but everyone knew he was trying very hard.
And based on his tone, he’s unsure about that himself. "Ehem, anyway, are you hungry? I see that Madam Zhen sent you a pile of fruits. She must have felt bad that her masterpiece failed to protect you. Weisheng, give Yuan that tangerine."
Bai Tingfeng’s older version stupidly gazed at his husband, "But this is mi—"
"Come on, Yuan. Eat some tangerines. These are rich in vitamin C. It will help speed up healing your wound. Gosh! What kind of dagger did they use that healing magic doesn’t work? I swear—" And Rong Suyin started ranting, leaving his husband no choice but to give up his tangerine.
Shen Yuan only smiled and thanked his father-in-law for the tangerine. He’s clearly aware of what Rong Suyin is doing.
If there’s something that Suki, the celestial fox spirit, knows about the original Shen Yuan. It’s the fact that he had an estranged relationship with his family— particularly their father.
Bai Tingfeng told him on multiple occasions that Shen Yuan had a personal vendetta against his father, for example, when Shen Yuan jumped into this marriage of convenience to get away from his father and the fact that they didn’t have any connection when he was abroad.
"Actually, I no longer need to look further. The fact that they didn’t come when I became an S-Class awakener says a lot. I’ve read a lot of shameless relatives who would recklessly barge in during happy occasions to squeeze some blessing, but this Shen family is different! I don’t even know how to describe them. Are they ignoring Shen Yuan to spite him, or are they just plain careless towards Shen Yuan?" The celestial fox spirit thought as the delicious mix of sweetness and sourness burst inside his mouth.
"Yuan.." Shen Yuan woke up from his trance upon hearing the familiar voice of his husband.
Bai Tingfeng is looking at him with unspoken questions.
But mysteriously, Shen Yuan could more or less guess what’s with that puppy-like look in his husband’s eyes.
This man must be needlessly worrying about his feelings. It was laughable because he has no bad feelings towards the original’s estranged family.
He could bear the isolation— as long as they don’t pop out of nowhere and demand outrageous things from him.
"Can I sit beside you now?" Bai Tingfeng asked instead.
To say he was okay, Shen Yuan gave the handsome alpha a twin thumbs up and smiled, "Probably a week later."
"Yanyan? Is Papa’s legs finally relaxed?"
The innocent five-year-old faced his daddy with a pouting duck face, "No! Papa’s legs are like steel pipes! Yanyan’s hand is tired already!"
Shen Yuan tapped the space beside him, "Then sit beside Daddy and rest. Let’s eat these delicious tangerines."
The big alpha only sighed. He’s glad that his husband didn’t let the absence of the Shens get into him.
However, how long will his punishment go on?! He should really think twice before doing something reckless. That is if he wants to excuse himself from receiving punishment! It always slips his mind that his husband never let anyone slide as long as he and their son were wronged.
Shen Yuan is the embodiment of vengeance and Bai Tingfeng fell for vengeance himself.
Since Shen Yuan’s injury is special because all kinds of healing abilities are ineffective, the doctor advised him to stay for seven days to observe the wound and to focus on postoperative treatment. Traveling back to City B because too much movement will cause the surgery wound to reopen.
The celestial fox was initially against getting confined in the white walls of his hospital room because Yanyan was not that comfortable staying around the hospital, so, in the end, Bai Tingfeng made a concession. He hurriedly bought an estate in City T, where Shen Yuan would stay in the meantime.
The Bai couple contacted their family doctor, who will monitor their dearest son-in-law’s health.
Rong Suyin and Bai Weisheng didn’t stop making Shen Yuan feel that he was their son and they were his parents. Because of this, the celestial fox spirit made several protective talismans during his free time and gifted them.
It started a more intimate relationship between the Bai Family and the celestial fox spirit.
It was a very dark thought, but he thinks that getting stabbed is worth it, especially now that he experienced the pampering of his family.
As for the Shen Family, not a shadow of
them appeared after three days of staying in City T. Shen Yuan also didn’t bother to ask for the second time since this matter sank into the deepest part of his memory.
He’s more focused on recuperating and listening to news about the aftermath of the Taiyuan Ice Dungeon incident and anything related to the Cardinals.
His revenge knows no vacation.
"Thanks to your recent haul, we managed to squeeze quite a lot of useful information about the Cardinals and his minor tentacles. During the past few days, Major General Zhao An and Colonel Dai Jie have been busy raiding the bases of the affiliated groups of the Cardinals. The ones you captured are registered hunters who belong to an underground hunting group," Chairman Mao told Shen Yuan over a pleasant afternoon tea
.
Four days into his recuperation week, the old chairman suddenly barged into their new property in City T. Chairman Mao said that he went straight from City S because he was "worried sick" for his new and favorite employee.
Shen Yuan was doubtful about the worried sick and favorite employee part. Chairman Mao’s crescent eyes and wide half-moon smile give a conman vibe.
But since the old alpha male comes with reliable news, he didn’t bother pointing out the authenticity of the chairman’s claims. He just brought the tea close to its expiry date and served it hot to Chairman Mao.
Just like their original house, this has an expansive garden.
The only difference is that a rectangular eastern-style gazebo gives a clear view of the entire garden.
This is where the two S-Class awakeners of the Hunter Association are meeting.
Bai Tingfeng and Yanyan are out of sight to give Shen Yuan and Chairman Mao the needed privacy.
"Underground Hunting Group?" Shen Yuan casually asked and forked a piece of flourless chocolate cake. His eyes turned into hearts after tasting the healthy goodness of this patient-friendly cake.
"Do you really have to eat it like you’re shooting for a television ad?" Chairman Mao couldn’t help but comment while looking at the omega before him with judgy eyes.
"Underground Hunting Group or UGH " is the official name given to small, unregistered hunter guilds. They are typically founded by hunters who failed to get into official guilds for various reasons. They bonded together so that they could survive in this cut-throat industry."
"Ohhh. So that means the Cardinals enticed them with power and benefits. That’s why they joined their ranks?"
Chairman Mao grabbed his cup of piping hot tea and slowly drank it before he answered, "Not really; most of them were already members of the Cardinals before they became hunters. They served as the focal persons in charge of recruiting the marginalized hunters."
"They are weaponizing others’ anger and discontent towards society and dressing up their sinister intentions into something heroic," Shen Yuan commented, to which Chairman Mao agreed.
"That is the reason why we are nipping them from the bud. We could no longer let those rotten extremists mingle with the hunters who simply want to earn money for their families." Chairman Maoi said with an air of profoundness.
"And to prevent the honest ones from straying, I’m endorsing these concerns to some of my friends in the congress. I’m hoping they will develop favorable laws for unaffiliated hunters."
Chairman Mao revealed a Cheshire cat-like smile.
"Why does it sound like you will pressure them behind the scenes? Are you sure they are your friends?" Shen Yuan looked at Chairman Mao as if he were looking at a rancid cheese.
"Of course! We are friends who are bound by interests and cash! There’s no other reliable relationship than that."
"Proud to be materialistic, I see," Shen Yuan smiled wryly. "Should I start giving you some cash so that you wouldn’t drag me around in the future?"
Chairman Mao laughed.
Apparently, he enjoyed the old green tea to the point that he laughed as if he were high, "There’s no need for that! I’m reaping quite a lot of benefits because of you. Just your first day of work, and you help us discover the tentacles that the Cardinals dared to put inside the hunter industry ahead of time. And now, the advertisement hasn’t been released yet, but you changed the entire look of the Hunter Association."
Shen Yuan failed to comprehend the latter part, "What do you mean?"
