Chapter 139 - Not Just a Simple Companion

One Week Later.

"I'm amazed, Young Master Lan really has a talent for this. M-Meanwhile, P-President Mo, P-Please trust your horse, and also please don't slouch your back. It will be easier to ride it if you sit up straight. Additionally, please don't pull too hard on the reins, you'll hurt and scare your horse like that. Try being a bit gentler like Young Master Lan is doing, "

"I had enough! I want to unmount already. This is obviously not for me." Hanlu whined after being scolded so many times. Although he said he would teach Lan himself and said riding horses was easy but now, clearly he couldn't do it.

*Giggles* "Daddy, try a bit longer. It's really fun," Lan encouraged his father as he made his little pony walk around the ranch. Today, they especially went to a place where people could go to try horseback riding. Hanlu rented the whole place so no one could disturb them, he also hired the most capable horseback riding instructor in the country but it has only been less than an hour and it seems like Lan already learned the basics while he was still trying to keep his balance on top of the horse and had struggled to make the animal listen to his command.

The damn horse looks like it had no plan to listen to Hanlu anytime soon no matter how the Alpha tried.

"This is unfair. I demand a change of horse. Are you all playing with me?! Clearly, this isn't the best horse here." Hanlu complained and signaled someone to help him unmount the horse. When Hanlu finally managed to get off, he ignored the instructor's explanation and quickly ran towards his wife at the far corner cottage arranging their snacks for later.

"President, I am certain this is the best horse I have. I specially brought him here for the President to ride. You really just have to trust him and relax…" the instructor said defending his horse. The horse had won various awards, that is why he made sure to bring it here when he was suddenly asked yesterday to instruct for the Mo Family's Second Young Master.

Of course, he also had ulterior motives. He was hoping he could get the Alpha to invest in his business knowing that one of the Mos was interested in horseback riding. He was hoping that if people knew the Second Young Master Hanlu liked horseback riding, he would gain traffic in his chosen career.

Because even though he was branded as the best horseback rider instructor in the country, not that many people were in for the sport. Despite his students winning awards from bronze to gold prizes from various tournaments within the country and internationally not many people were in for the sport. Not many people were interested.

But now that he had this rare opportunity, he wished to make his dream come true. But it seems like he wouldn't be as successful again, seeing that the Alpha seemed upset that he couldn't ride the horse, unlike his son.

Looking at Hanlu's back, the instructor sighs knowing that his words didn't reach the Alpha. He instantly knew why the horse wasn't listening or to why Mo Hanlu couldn't properly listen to his instructions.

It was because the Alpha's attention wasn't on the horse or the fact that he wanted to learn. He constantly noticed the Alpha looking at his side where his companion was silently sitting minding his own business. The news about Mo Hanlu being engaged to Veronica Chime was widely spread across the country and of course, he knew about this too since it was all the talk in all social media and television for the past week but seeing the Alpha with a different person, an Omega at that, shocked him especially when they arrived earlier.

He knew things on social media and television weren't a hundred percent true but this time he believed it since they were talking about the Mo Family, the most formidable household in the country. Almost no news comes out about them and surely when there is something, it will be a hundred percent true. However, now that he's seeing a different partner, he quickly wondered what that actress Veronica Chime was doing? Clearly, Mo Hanlu wasn't going to marry her like she had been saying in her interviews.

The instructor saw how Mo Hanlu acted towards the Omega and the way he treated him was not just towards a simple companion, a friend, or even a maid who he brought to babysit his son. Mo Hanlu treated and looked at the Omega like some lovestruck teenager, very different when it comes to his affairs where no photos were taken with him overly intimate with his lovers.

". . ." with his mouth slightly open in shock flabbergasted, the instructor quickly frowned seeing Mo Hanlu suddenly grabbing the Omega from the back and kissing him before separating right after the Omega elbowed him. "President, it's not my horse's fault that you can't learn. It's because you're not even willing to learn anything; you just want to keep your Omega to yourself." The instructor muttered as he complained before he quickly turned around to Lan and focused his attention on the little boy instead.

"Luu! Stop!" Ian complained and softly pushed Hanlu covering his lips. He was just slicing the cake he was planning to eat when the Alpha suddenly grabbed him on the waist and quickly pulled him for a kiss. He was so stunned, he was frozen for a quick moment before he instinctively elbowed Hanlu.

"Sorry. My body suddenly moved on its own." Hanlu explained, smiling cheerfully before he moved closer to Ian again despite the Omega's weak pushes. Knowing that Ian wasn't seriously resisting him, something deep inside him sparked.

"Seriously, stooop~" Ian whined blushing as he pushed Hanlu away but since his force remained weak, Hanlu forced his way and quickly cornered Ian against the table and claimed his lips again.

"Hmmmn, s-stupid Luu," Ian whined again gripping on the Hanlu's sleeves as they kissed intimately. Quickly Ian's mind turned mushy as he let Hanlu invade his mouth. It has been 7 days since they started living with each other as husband and wife and despite not wanting it, Ian suddenly couldn't stop himself from completely spoiling Hanlu from time to time. He couldn't fully resist him from his advances and even though in his mind he was thinking he shouldn't let Hanlu kiss him like this in a broad daylight and outdoors at that, he still couldn't help but let it be.

"Sweet~" Hanlu hummed, licking his lips after they separated. A huge grin formed on his lips looking at Ian's flushed cheeks. He quickly pulled Ian to the bench and made him sit on his lap.

"Because I was eating dessert," Ian said and his blush turned deeper, finding himself on top of Hanlu. "Seriously, we shouldn't do this out in public," Ian complained, frowning , wanting to look upset but failing miserably with the deep blush on his cheeks.

"Why? No one's looking. Besides, you've really been ignoring me for days now," Hanlu pouted burying his face against Ian's chest while his arm tightly wrapped around. Meanwhile, as Ian heard the Alpha's complaints, he couldn't help but pinch Hanlu's ears. Ignore?! Aside from constantly spoiling him ever since they started living together, he was not ignoring him at all; what ignore was he talking about?

"I am not ignoring you at all," Ian snapped and pulled Hanlu away from pulling on the Alpha's hair.

"Yes, you are. You are ignoring me for a week now," Hanlu pouted again and forced himself back to snuggle close to Ian despite his hair being pulled.

"Was the attention I was giving you not enough?" Ian asked in disbelief.

"Yes, because you sleep so early and wake up too early," Hanlu mumbled, he sounded like he was pouting. It has been two days since the last time they did it and Hanlu didn't know it Ian was purposely avoiding him at those times or simply because that's his routine. When he was in the mood to make love in the evening, he would then suddenly find Ian sleeping already. And that's barely 9 pm, it was seriously too early.

And then in the morning when he wakes up, he would find himself alone in the bed because it was Ian's routine to wake up five in the morning to exercise. Hanlu had never been so lonely before, Ian had finally become his wife but it looks like they remained the same. He already agreed not to have their second baby so soon but he didn't expect he would not be able to do it with Ian as often as he thought they would.

"Can't you reschedule your exercise in the afternoon and not early in the morning?! I want to be able to wake up with you still on the bed, I was feeling lonely you know. So lonely so you can't say you aren't ignoring me because you are." Hanlu whined in complaint, making Ian unable to say anything. When it comes to Hanlu saying his nonsense, he was always unable to say something back. How could he when the Alpha is so shameless?

It's not like he was ignoring or avoiding Hanlu, it was truly his body clock to sleep and wake up early ever since he decided to become a policeman since he had to do it during his training. And even if he tried to stay up late, he just couldn't do it without anything to keep him busy unlike before when he still needed to wash their laundry and then check some files from work. Normally if he had nothing to do, his body would instantly relax and fall asleep right after.

"Even if you say that, I still don't believe it's enough to say that I'm ignoring you. Aren't we always together? You never leave my side, Luu." Ian finally retaliated because Hanlu was truly always beside him.

"Yes, you are!" Hanlu insisted, whining causing Ian's brain cells to suddenly explode.

"Okay. Okay. Just tell me what you want?" Ian gave up and asked instead. Since Hanlu was saying something so ridiculous, he believed the Alpha had demands. He just couldn't figure out what it was that he still wanted.

"You won't get angry?"

"I am starting to, so tell me now," Ian snapped feeling impatient. Hanlu paused for a short while and at last mumbled his demand. When Ian heard him say it, his heart quickly started pounding fast. The blush that vanished moments ago suddenly returned, turning Ian's face completely turning red as a ripe tomato.

"D-Don't be ridiculous! W-We c-can't!" Ian stammered and struggled against Hanlu's hold, wanting to get off which he hopelessly failed to do.

"See, you don't want to so you're not just ignoring me, you're also avoiding me. huhu" Hanlu whined again like a spoiled little kid while he kept Ian on his lap.

"We can't. We can't. W-we can't n-now." Ian insisted again, his cheeks were steaming hot. He still continued to struggle. They absolutely cannot do it at this moment. He didn't know why Hanlu would suggest something vulgar that even if he does want to spoil his husband, having s.e.x outdoor was completely out of his capability. He will never do such a thing.

"What are you talking about? Of course not now, what I mean is later, tonight." Hanlu frowned, loosening his grip and watched how Ian had turned so red.

"Oh…"

*chuckles* "Why are you turning so red? Do you perhaps actually want to do it outdoors? You're quite bold. I haven't done it before but I don't mind, I'm always ready to try new experiences as long as it's with you." Hanlu teased and the next moment he felt a sudden punch on his cheeks catching him off guard. Ian quickly got off of Hanlu and simply walked out feeling completely embarrassed. Hanlu on the other hand, blinked his eyes in disbelief, it was quite a strong punch but another smile formed on his lips before he licked his beaten lips before he stood up and ran after his upset wife.

"Baby, I'm sorry. I won't do it again, I promise." Hanlu shouted playfully but the second he caught on Ian, the Omega's leg was suddenly flying towards him. Thankfully Hanlu managed to evade it this time, blocking the kick with his palms.

And just like that, Lan, the instructor, and other employees around watched the couple spar for quite a while.
