Chapter 35: Episode 4.11 Daddy’s Secret

Nighttime. In a certain part of the city, that comes alive only in the dark. The dirty puddles of rainwater reflected the bright neon lights when suddenly it was distorted by the heavy step of a running dark figure.

The unknown person was heaving heavy breaths as he dangerously took a turn to the dark alleyway. Running desperately, his heartbeat was beating hard and painful together with the blaring music from the nearby clubs.

In his head, he is questioning himself. At what point did he make a mistake that now he is being chased by a formidable opponent? He didn’t take any assassin gig for the past six months because he was still cooling down after one-shotting a member of Congress, and he is dead sure that he made the kill as cleanly as possible. Therefore, no one should be after his tail now!

But now, he was being hunted.

Is he from the same industry? A competitor? But that is impossible because he is unknown even to fellow assassins for hire on the dark web!

Suddenly, he remembered the passing request he picked up the other day. It was just a simple threat request that targets an omega. It is a very easy side job that offers one hundred fifty thousand yuan.

His heart dropped to the pit of his stomach. He should have known that request was fishy from the very beginning!

"I don’t care if I run out of mana. I will not let myself be taken like this!" Wild eyes looked around the vicinity before his entire body was engulfed with shadow.

Not far from where the unidentified man used to stand, a tall, handsome man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He stood on top of a tall building overlooking the complex alleyway of the night district.

A sound came in from his earpiece, "Sir Su, the target completely merged with the shadow just now. Please stand by for a moment as Muchen starts tracking him with his infrared eyes."

"Copy that." Su Yifan seriously replied. This mission may be far from their usual dungeon work, but it is critical as it will appease the angry Master Shen. He gave a very nasty, dreadful feeling brewing in his stomach that this would be the start of his wild errands. Well, that is inevitable, and all he could do for now was to sow goodwill from Master Shen Yuan by showing his competence. Who knows? Maybe with this, the omega with an explosive personality, when triggered, will cut him some slack.

He is dedicated to keeping his job smooth sailing, and a part of that relies on his boss’ spouse’s approval rating for him!

"Sir Su, the target is heading south of the alleyway connecting East Avenue!"

Su Yifan didn’t waste a millisecond, and in an instant, he disappeared in the cold night breeze.

The next thing happened: a commotion was heard at the end of the alleyway, but since this is a district where pubs, drunken fights, and quickies are common occurrences, no one really cared if there was someone who yelled or begged.

But one thing is for sure: it’s a mission complete for Su Yifan.

"Cain, the bad skunk, thought that he got Huhu cornered and was ready to fire his stink ray at him. But he didn’t know Huhu the fox was just waiting for his broken tail gears to warm up. Then, Papa, Daddy, do you know what happened?" Yanyan’s milky voice sounded as he lay in between his two parents. The therapist said that they must encourage Yanyan to express himself freely to help him get over his fears.

Since then, the two parents have made it their habit to engage in bedtime talk where Yanyan is their star storyteller who talks about the latest episode of his favorite cartoon.

"Huhu the fox, tried to snatch the stink ray cannon?" Bai Tingfeng acted like he was cluelessly guessing.

"Huhu the fox shoved his nose in the cannon’s nozzle just to save the town’s beast people?" Shen Yuan said with a confident smirk and nozzled his nose on the crook of Yanyan’s neck.

The milky laughter of the child echoed in the master’s bedroom.

"Daddy! That’s so silly of him if Huhu did that. He has a hypersensitive nose so that he will pass out like this," Yanyan flung his four little limbs in the air and then acted like he got knocked out.

"Really?" Shen Yuan was half giggling at the crazy acting of the five-year-old. He played along and slowly crept his hand near the kid’s waist. "We can let that happen. So, Daddy will wake Huhu the fox with a finger-powered defibrillator!"

"Wah! Daddy! That’s not fair! Don’t tickle me like that hihihi!" Yanyan was wheezing with laughter when his naughty Daddy tickled his soft waist. "Papa! Save me from Daddy, please!"

The family of three is full of smiles tonight, just like last night and the other nights following their visit from the hospital.

The worries of the adults must not affect the children. That’s what Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng agreed to each other.

Therefore, they acted as if nothing happened after that shooting incident while the two of them were silently doing their own thing for their unfinished business.

Bai Tingfeng utilized his and his family’s connections to get to the bottom of the incident. Meanwhile, Shen Yuan researched everything about this world of awakened humans in preparation for Awakener’s Test. He cannot let himself make the slightest mistake since it would be broadcasted for anyone to see—or so he made himself believe as a distraction.

Truth be told, he is itching to run amok because of how unequal that assassin treated him as compared to Bai Tingfeng, an alpha.

Thankfully, there is Yanyan, who is keeping him busy during his spare time and helping him to get his mind off the fact that someone thought that a simple warning shot would shake him.

Or else, he would visit all the minor villains set to appear in the manhua and burn them all.

There’s still no definitive evidence, but he is sure it should be one of those small-time bad guys. This small petty move is not the style of the Cardinals.

"Mwa! Mwa! Mwa!" Shen Yuan loudly smooches his little boy with wet kisses on his cheeks. "Thank you, my cute baby boy."

Yanyan giggled, then smiled, "You’re welcome, Daddy. But why are you thanking me?"

"Because you are my happy pill."

Bai Tingfeng snickered. He, of all people, knows what the omega knows by that. For days, he witnessed how he vented his frustration on the sandbag in the training room.

Thirty reinforced sandbags are obliterated in five days.

Bai Tingfeng thinks that he must make a reminder on his phone that he should never mess with the omega.

His chest felt light these days because it was proven that Shen Yuan’s presence brought out a positive side to their little boy.

Yanyan is noticeably cheerful now and genuine smile and laughter is plastered on his cute little face.

Bai Tingfeng knew that the shadows of trauma from the abduction remained but he is confident that it won’t be long until they beat the two fears that was born from that horrible experience.

"Okay! I am happy that I am Daddy’s happy pill and will continue to be. Then can I play with your fluffy ta- uhm uhm uhm."

"Shhh!" Shen Yuan swore that his heart almost stopped there. Thankfully, his left hand quickly covered Yanyan’s mouth or his secret will be laid bare in the ears of the tall and muscular alpha.

"Why are you covering our son’s mouth? Are you two keeping a secret from me?" Bai Tingfeng’s sharp, soulful eyes eyed them suspiciously.

"Uhm! Uhm!" The innocent child shook his head. No, because Daddy never told him to keep his ears and tails a secret.

"Yes, we do. What is it with you? Are you curious? Wanna know what it is? Then be my son first and call me father!" Shen Yuan fired like a Gatling gun.

Denying will only make it more obvious, so the fox spirit removed all covers.

Bai Tingfeng stared at Shen Yuan, his mouth agape. He was caught off guard at how fast the omega speaks. It almost sounded like a whole rap verse in his ears.

But he must admit, flustered Shen Yuan has quite a charm that draws him in like a magnet...

Ring!

Bai Tingfeng’s phone suddenly rang.

"It’s Assistant Su," he exchanged knowing looks with Shen Yuan.

"That must be important, considering that he is calling this late," Shen Yuan said while he used his toes to point at the balcony, hinting to the alpha to take the call over there, and he would listen.

Bai Tingfeng turned to Yanyan, leaned his face, and kissed the boy’s forehead. "You should sleep now, baby."

For a moment, the omega was in a place that is not their shared bedroom.

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but hold his breath because the man’s head was too close to his head. "Dear heavens, that lavender scent again!" He internally screamed. He liked the flowery smell, but he simply could not take it now that he knew that it was Bai Tingfeng’s pheromones. Every time he smells that, he thinks of the memory shoved in the deepest pits of his consciousness. That damned kiss that is propelled by emotions and pheromones.

Bai Tingfeng made it clear before that he was repulsed at his touch, so there was no need for him to remember that kiss.

It’s better to keep that kiss like a secret no one must know.

"Daddy! Should we keep it a secret?" Shen Yuan’s ears almost popped out because of the startling question asked by his little boy.

"What secret?" The guilty fox spirit looked around, fearing that he-who-must-not-be-named was around. Thankfully, the man was already on the balcony, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yanyan fixed his position to make himself more comfortable.

"Your..." the little boy trailed off while he placed his two tiny index fingers over his head and made them twitch.

Shen Yuan got what he meant. Yanyan is referring to his ears and tails. The hint was a bit of a miss so he laughed lowly, "Those are twitching horns, baby. But yes, we will keep it a secret from anyone."

"That’s our big secret that only the two of us should share."

The innocent little boy’s eyes shone, thrilled that he was sharing a big secret with his Daddy. This is one of the dreams that he fantasizes in his sleep! He had seen it in many TV programs before that sharing a secret means that they are close to each other!

Yanyan is finally close with his Daddy!

Yanyan nodded energetically and offered a pinky swear.

"Okay, that is our secret," Shen Yuan used his pinky to seal the deal.

What a cute child. The celestial thought.

As a reward for the child’s loveliness, Shen Yuan undid his transformation spell and let out his fluffy, pure white tails— but of course, he hid it with an illusion spell to protect his identity.

"Ye-" the child was about to cheer aloud, but Shen Yuan quickly silenced him.

"Shhh!"

"Yay!" The child instead cheered in a small voice, making Shen Yuan’s face uncontrollably made a smile.

"Now go and sleep well now, Yanyan. Your Papa will scold you once he comes back, and yet you are still awake." Shen Yuan firmly said to the child. He tried to sound strict but the edges of his lips ultimately failed him.

"Okay, Daddy. Good night and I love you!"

Thankfully, Yanyan is a kind boy who listens well to his parents. He snuggled in between his sprawled nine tails and hugged them with his stuffed toy of Huhu the fox.

Shen Yuan doubts if the boy will sleep like he promised if he this excited.

Well, regardless, Shen Yuan just let the boy enjoy the velvety feeling of his prized possessions. He bets he gets the feeling being hugged by the clouds by now.

Remembering the alpha in the balcony, Shen Yuan focused his powerful hearing ability and listened to the conversation between Bai Tingfeng and his trusted assistant.

It was time for him to meet the bastard who dared to look down on him.
