The Self-cultivation of Omega Running with the Ball

"Dad!" As soon as he entered the ward, little Zhiliao shouted loudly, and stretched out his body in Pei Du's arms with his claws and teeth bared, like a live fish that could not be caught, and wanted to jump into Wen Qiu's arms.

"Little cicada!" Wen Qiu's dim eyes suddenly brightened up. He got down from the hospital bed barefoot, took a few quick steps over, took the child, and held him tightly in his arms.

The child couldn't help himself and burst into tears immediately, expressing his fear and longing with his limited vocabulary. Wen Qiu also shed tears and couldn't stop hugging and kissing him, touching him all over his body, fearing that he was hurt.

Pei Du stood quietly by, looking at the two crying people, one big and one small. It should have been a comforting scene, but his heart was in agony.

This is his wife and his biological child.

What a coincidence, what an irony, two years ago he contemptuously asked his wife, whom he had never met, to have an abortion, which led to Wen Qiu's escape. All the sufferings he had experienced since then were the first domino he had pushed down.

If he had not been so ruthless at that time, and had investigated seriously and met Wen Qiu properly, he might have fallen in love with him at first sight, and could not help but kiss his eyes that hid all the stars in the world. They would not have missed each other in the crowd, would not have hurt and tortured each other for two years, and Wen Qiu and the child would not have suffered so much.

However, the past is irreversible, and he has become the undoubted perpetrator.

He suddenly remembered what Li Wenfei said, "Your child is still alive." It was indeed a sign, but he was stupid enough not to think about it. Li Wenfei also said that he would be punished, and it was not until now that Pei Du finally understood the full meaning of this sentence.

Then, more memories came to mind: Wen Qiu who was humiliated to tears in the club for a few thousand yuan, Wen Qiu who saved up a few hundred yuan and insisted on paying back the money, Wen Qiu who was so desperate that he asked me to sell her body, Wen Qiu who said with red eyes, "It's not my fault that I'm poor", Wen Qiu who worked hard and worked without stopping...

What was I doing at that time? I was enjoying my life leisurely, spending a little money to enjoy his misfortune, making bets with friends about how long it would take to trick him into bed, mocking and humiliating him in every way after discovering the existence of the child, and letting him hang on slowly after noticing his love... Every memory became a knife, stabbing him until his skin was torn and blood was dripping.

Regret, self-blame, pain, and shock - he has always been kind to others, but he can become so mean and cruel to the person he likes.

There is cause for every effect, and retribution will come.

Undoubtedly, he should tell the truth and beg for forgiveness. However, he saw Wen Qiu's pale cheeks, bloodless lips, and a body that was shaky just standing.

Having just suffered such a huge blow, can he really withstand another tragic truth?
At least not today, not now... Then when in the future should he confess? In what form should he confess? Pei Du didn't know.

If he could be forgiven by confessing, apologizing, repenting, or even kneeling, he was willing to do so. But...what if Wen Qiu refused to forgive? Why should he forgive a man who pushed him into hell, a father who called their child a "bastard"? What if he took the child and walked away, never looking back...

The irreversible consequence made Pei Du tremble from the depths of his soul.

Wen Qiu calmed the child and his own flustered heart, then slowly turned his attention to Pei Du. He noticed that something was wrong with ALPHA's demeanor, but he didn't think about it too much. He was overwhelmed by too many emotions to think about the details.

He asked in a hoarse voice: "Who took Xiaozhi away?"

"Pei Zhixuan." Pei Du replied, "...my father."

Wen Qiu opened his eyes wide. Why would the chairman of Pei Yuan Group, Pei Du's father, a big shot he had never even met, snatch his child away?
At this moment, Cui Jinxiu's ferocious face flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning, and Wen Qiu immediately understood everything. This was a revenge, but also a warning! Because the dictatorial patriarch would never allow someone like him to appear beside his son, so he had to use this method to force him to leave.

But Wen Qiu never thought that his methods would be so cruel, as if he had never treated himself as a living person. He must be used to being in a high position and having the power of life and death, and he couldn't empathize with how painful it would be for a father to lose his child.

"I'm sorry... I don't know how to apologize." Pei Du held his forehead, not daring to look at him, as if he was trying hard to suppress something, "All of this is my fault..."

However, this was Pei Zhixuan's fault, and Wen Qiu would not vent his anger on Pei Du. He could not choose whose son he was, not to mention that it was Pei Du who brought the child back. He hugged the trembling Alpha, "It's okay, I don't blame you..."

"He will pay the price, I promise you." Pei Du suddenly grasped his shoulders, his expression slightly crazy, "But this time it may not be so fast, he will be more difficult to deal with than anyone in the past, but I will definitely make him pay the price."

And, Pei Du added silently in his heart, I will also make myself pay the price. In this trial, all sinners must be punished.

"Okay, I'll wait for the day when he's punished." Wen Qiu gently stroked his cheek, feeling grateful and relieved that Pei Du stood firmly on his and Xiao Zhiliao's side. He had to know that he was not only fighting against his father, but also the entire giant Pei family. This unthinking preference was enough to comfort him a little.

Pei Du was so good, a perfect lover, and would be a perfect husband and father in the future. However, compared to him, I was...

Wen Qiu had thought a lot since he woke up, and now he felt even more ashamed of himself. Taking this opportunity, he thought he should make things clear.

He put the child on the bed, walked to Pei Du, looked into his eyes seriously, and said in a serious tone: "I'm sorry."

Pei Du's pupils shrank, as if he was frightened by him, and there was even panic in his voice: "Qiuqiu...what are you doing?"

Wen Qiu stood up straight and looked at him straight, feeling a rare calm and frankness. He said slowly: "I have been thinking since I woke up that I really did too many things to let you down - secretly contacting An Yunqi, meeting his father, and the paternity test report. I was afraid that you would know about my unbearableness, and I was also afraid that you would hate me after knowing the truth, so I unconsciously told a lot of lies. I may really be a hopeless liar..." Putting himself in Pei Du's role, he could imagine how angry and disappointed he would be after discovering the test report. But even so, he didn't say a harsh word to himself. He would only hide on the other side of the ocean to digest it silently, and would fly back when he needed it, and do his best to save a child who had nothing to do with him.

"So I should apologize. I'm really sorry. I'm not a very good lover, am I? I always make you worry and angry..." Wen Qiu closed his eyes and hugged his waist tightly, not daring to look at his expression. Regardless of whether Pei Du accepted it or not, he felt much better after he said it. The pressure of the past few months was released with the confession. Whether it was punishment or alienation, he would accept it willingly and then work hard to make up for his mistakes.

Pei Du's chest was heaving, as if he was experiencing violent emotional fluctuations. He had to grit his teeth to hold back the sound. However, when Wen Qiu looked up, he found that his eyes were red, and his dark eyes hid complex thoughts that he could not understand.

This undoubtedly made Wen Qiu feel even more guilty, and he continued to analyze himself mercilessly: "I always thought it was someone else's fault. It was my ex-husband, Lu Yilong, Manager Cui, and all those disgusting people who made me like this. I was lost in hatred for too long and forgot that the person who should be most responsible for my life is myself."

He never thought how his frank self-confession would torture Pei Du's soul. Pei Du silently tightened his arms, as if he wanted to rub the OMEGA in his arms into his bones and blood.

The more open and transparent Wen Qiu was, the more selfish and mean he was. At that moment he almost couldn't help but tell the truth, but the next moment he clenched his teeth with great determination and swallowed his words back.

"Are the things you told me on the phone before true?" Pei Du asked finally.

Wen Qiu shuddered in fear. It turned out that he still cared. But the words had already been spoken, so he just said it clearly: "Yes, it's all true. I owed a lot of money at that time, and I had no choice. I was locked up in that place, and several security guards watched me 24 hours a day. I couldn't escape at all..."

"That ex-husband..." Pei Du pulled him to sit down and looked at him darkly, "Do you want me to help you find him?"

“No!” Wen Qiu shook his head immediately. He looked a little scared, but more disgusted and hateful. “I actually haven’t seen him at all, and I don’t know who he is… At first I cursed him, but now I just want to forget him completely. He is nothing.”

"Nothing at all..."

"And do you know? He was the one who asked me to abort Xiao Zhiliao when I was four months pregnant. If I hadn't run away, the child would be gone now! He never even saw me and the child. He just wanted to clean us out like garbage..." Wen Qiu thought of something and nervously grabbed his arm. "If he wants to take the child back one day, you must help me! He really can do anything. I, I only have you now..."

"...Okay." Pei Du agreed, but held him tightly in his arms to prevent him from seeing his expression.

Gradually, Pei Du's rationality took over his shaky heart. Just like every time before, he slowly planned in his mind, and before he was fully prepared, he decided to keep silent.

Even if there is a 1% chance of being hated and abandoned, he will never take the risk. What he wants is % possession, and he will never let go.

Wen Qiu leaned on his chest and heard his heavy and powerful heartbeat. In fact, it was a bit painful to be hugged. Alpha seemed to be in extreme confusion and anxiety. He imitated what Pei Du had done before, slowly releasing a little OMEGA pheromone, and slowly patted his back to comfort him, "It's okay, it's my fault for making you so sad..."

Pei Du was surprisingly soothed by the sweet pheromones. His dull and hoarse voice slowly rang out: "No matter what, don't blame yourself. I was the one who let you down from the beginning."

Wen Qiu raised her head in his arms, her light green eyes filled with blind love and trust. He knew nothing so he could still smile, "Don't give me that, you never do anything wrong."

"..." Pei Du was speechless, and hoped that Wen Qiu would stop talking. Every unintentional word he said could torture him to death. He could only hold Wen Qiu's cheek and kiss him affectionately, sealing the conversation with a kiss.

Little Cicada sat on the bed, watching his dear father being rubbed, kissed and nibbled by that hateful man. He slapped the bed angrily and babbled to complain.

"Little Zhiliao seems to have something to say," Wen Qiu rarely saw him so emotional, so he pushed Pei Du aside and hurried over to ask, "What's wrong, baby?"

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhiliao's vocabulary is still extremely limited. He can't repeat the evil deeds that Pei Du committed against him. He can only wave his fat little finger at Pei Du and say: "He, I... call dad..."

Wen Qiu was a little embarrassed, "No, that's not dad, you should call him uncle, Uncle Pei."

He looked up again and explained to Pei Du: "Children are like this, they don't understand..."

"It's okay, it's fine to call me dad." Pei Du also half squatted down, feeling somewhat shameless in his heart, but his desire to become a father surpassed everything.

Wen Qiu was startled. Pei Du's words showed his attitude. He said he would accept this child, and he did so, even willing to accept the title of "father". He felt a little bitter and guilty, but more fortunately, fortunate that he chose a person worthy of trust.

Pei Du ignored Xiao Zhiliao's fierce resistance, picked him up with one hand, and held Wen Qiu in his arms with the other, and the three of them formed a close whole.

Alpha was the tallest one, and he could hug both of them with his arms outstretched. He decided on his own that this would be a happy family from now on, and said in a pretentious and relaxed voice, "Let's go home."
