Chapter 80: Honey, time for a reward.

Yin Feng's words made Nan Yi feel a tad bit embarrassed.

He responded softly, "He's been really kind to me lately."

Yin Feng had by now taken Bai Yu An from the beta named Xiao Zhang.

Hearing Nan Yi's words, he immediately retorted, "Of course, he should treat you well."

A warm smile curved up Nan Yi's eyes; everyone appreciates someone who's always in their corner.

Having even one friend who supports you unconditionally is more than enough.

"Feng, don’t you think little Bao looks a lot like He Yu Shen?"

At this, Yin Feng leaned in to inspect He Si Yi nestled in Nan Yi's embrace, then exclaimed excitedly, "Look like He Yu Shen? No way! He takes after you, especially around the eyes."

Naturally, an omega should resemble the gentle Nan Yi.

"Really?"

Nan Yi was somewhat skeptical because no matter how he looked at him, the baby seemed to resemble He Yu Shen.

"You don't trust my judgment? Xiao Zhang, help us out. Doesn't Little Bao look like Yi Yi?"

Having heard Nan Yi refer to He Si Yi as "Little Bao" once, Yin Feng effortlessly adopted the nickname.

It rolled off his tongue naturally, without any discomfort.

When summoned, Xiao Zhang rose from his seat, approached Nan Yi, and studied He Si Yi in his arms with focus.

"He does resemble..."

"You can call me Nan Yi." Nan Yi offered his name, seeing Xiao Zhang hesitate on how to address him.

"...Mr. Nan."

If one person said it, Nan Yi might remain dubious, but with two opinions in agreement, he began to doubt his own perception.

When Little Bao was awake, his large eyes did seem more akin to He Yu Shen’s, unlike Nan Yi's, which were slightly elongated and gave off a more unapproachable aura.

Yin Feng stayed to play with Nan Yi for a good three hours. Once He Si Yi woke up, he never left Yin Feng's embrace, not even returning to Nan Yi's arms.

As for Yin Feng's own child, Bai Yu An, he was either in Nan Yi's arms or held by Xiao Zhang.

Were it not for Bai Shan Yao finishing work early and calling Yin Feng to hurry home,

Nan Yi believed Yin Feng could have stayed for several more hours.

The moment Yin Feng left, He Si Yi began crying in Nan Yi's arms.

"What's the matter, Little Bao? Do you miss your brother An An?"

Nan Yi gently rocked He Si Yi in his arms.

"Madam, the young master might be hungry,"

The butler offered, presenting a prepared milk bottle to Nan Yi.

"Also, he likely needs a diaper change."

Holding the tiny omega, Nan Yi became extremely cautious once the little blanket swaddling him was undone.

With stiff and tentative movements, it was ultimately the butler who changed Little Bao's diaper.

Even though the little one was on a strict milk formula diet, it was puzzling how his little poops could smell so foul.

"Oh, Little Bao, you're quite stinky! Poor Butler has to bear the brunt of it."

After receiving the now tidy He Si Yi, Nan Yi playfully teased, pretending to be repulsed.

"Darling, how could our baby possibly smell bad?"

He Yu Shen's voice echoed from the front door, causing Nan Yi to turn around in surprise.

The alpha, dressed in a sleek black suit, entered from the entrance. His collar, with two top buttons undone, revealed an enticingly exposed Adam's apple.

With his handsome and aloof demeanor coupled with his sultry voice, Nan Yi swallowed nervously. His comparatively delicate throat bobbed.

"You're back," his tone becoming slightly honeyed.

"Hmm, have you missed me, my little coquette?"

Nan Yi pouted in pretend annoyance, "I did not."

"Alright, alright, you didn't."

He Yu Shen gave a gentle peck on those pouting lips, his voice filled with amusement, signaling a clear concession.

"Come, let's hold our little treasure." Upon entering and taking a seat, He Yushen took the baby from Nan Yi's arms.

"What did you and the baby do today while I was away?"

He Yushen playfully teased the little He Siyi in his arms, making the small omega's eyes curve into a delighted smile.

Leaning on the alpha's shoulder, Nan Yi softly responded, "We sunbathed outside."

Holding the baby, He Yushen tilted his head to gaze at the tiny head resting on his shoulder and planted a warm kiss on his forehead.

"You've worked hard, my wife."

Nan Yi felt blissfully dazed, but he hadn't forgotten what Lin Qiu said during the day.

Nan Yi didn't confront him immediately.

He first finished dinner with He Yushen and later took a bath.

The baby's crib was beside their bed in the master bedroom.

By the time Nan Yi was bathing, the baby had already been lulled to sleep by He Yushen.

When he emerged, the alpha was already in bed.

Crawling into He Yushen's embrace, Nan Yi wrapped his arms around He Yushen's waist.

"He Yushen," Nan Yi softly called out.

"What is it?" The alpha's voice was deeper than Nan Yi's. The one who had been sitting scooted closer to the center of the bed, enveloping Nan Yi within his arms.

"Did you commute to work with Yun Luo?"

"No, he drove himself."

"Oh."

Nan Yi was contemplating whether to ask He Yushen if he knew about Yun Luo's feelings for him or inquire about He Yushen's perception of Yun Luo.

"Darling," He Yushen nuzzled the daydreaming Nan Yi's neck.

"What is it..." Even after spending so much time together, whenever He Yushen called him 'darling,' Nan Yi would still feel a tad embarrassed.

"It's been a month already. Don't you think your husband deserves a little reward today?"

The alpha deliberately nibbled on Nan Yi's earlobe, his hands becoming mischievous.

The two had restrained themselves for quite some time, and even Nan Yi was becoming impatient. The alpha's actions were making him flush.

"The baby is..."

"Asleep."

"Behave, I won't *," He Yushen's voice was laced with seduction.

Nan Yi's embarrassment deepened. Even though the room was pitch-black, he raised the hand not held by He Yushen to cover his eyes.

The coolness at his collarbone was replaced by a warm touch that lingered. Nan Yi itched to pull back, but the bed behind him left no room for retreat.

"He Yushen...stop...kissing me."

The thick, sultry tone inflamed the alpha further; he didn’t just lick but gently nibbled.

A small dark mole adorned Nan Yi’s collarbone. He Yushen had noticed it the first time he undressed him.

He never told Nan Yi how much he adored that black mole contrasting against his fair skin.

He Yushen didn’t respond to Nan Yi’s words, choosing instead to seal his protest with a kiss.

"Mmm..."

After several seconds of a deep kiss, he buried his head, tenderly licking the omega’s mole.

Nan Yi had melted, powerless, yielding to the alpha’s maneuvering.

Engulfed in their intense affection, they entirely forgot the presence of the little omega in the room.

The tastes of caramel and mint, from subtle to intense, entwined.

"Mmm... He Yushen."
