Work Text:
"50,000 yuan is not less." Gao tu ignores the obvious sourness on the alpha's face.
"50k is less than the salary I pay our housekeeper." Wenlang had not given up yet.
"Exactly why you need to learn to live moderately." Gao tu shuts down the laptop that he had earlier used to show wenlang their expenses. Wenlang had been careless with money from a long time. He spent money like it grew on trees. Just a few weeks ago, he bought two cars, a entire playing ground for lele and expensive jewellery for Gao tu.
Gao tu appreciates the gifts of course but the expenses also bother him. Before they become entirely penniless, he had to take matters into his own hand. Although being penniless is very unlikely but Gao tu was open to all conclusions.
"Moderately? What does that even mean?" Wenlang has never lived 'moderately'. He was born with a golden spoon, never out of money. The alpha has never had a limit to his spendings, not even by his father.
"Living with an allowance." Gao tu was firm, he wasn't going to shake from his decision. Wenlang has to manage in the allowance Gao tu has set for him. 50,000 yuan was not a small amount, definitely not but for wenlang it was really less. The alpha spends around a million yuan almost every week.
"You do know the accounts are in my name, right? I have the access to everything in my accounts." Wenlang could make out a smirk growing on gao tu's face.
"I changed the passwords." What a sly fox! Gao tu chuckled as the alpha's eyes went wide and mouth hung open in loss of words.
"You!" Wenlang couldn't fight against that now, because he was the one who had given everything to gao tu to handle, all their finances was in Gao tu's control. But the alpha certainly didn't expect Gao tu to put an allowance on him as well.
"Mama! 10 yuan more please." The little devil speaks again, this time strong with puppy eyes. Seeing his son, wenlang also tries it, puppy eyes.
Gao tu set a limit of 20 yuan per month for his little devil and 50k yuan per month for wenlang. Both exceeding his first set limit after the two's open declaration of protest. But anything more than this would kill the very objective of setting limits for the spoiled alphas so Gao tu doesn't shake from his decision.
The omega scoffs at the obvious pretentiousness of the two alphas.
"No!" He is stern. Lele stomps his feet on the ground and so does wenlang, the habit lele picked up from his father.
"Enough! You two are getting late for school and office. I have already packed your lunches. You should get going." The omega has to practically push the alphas out of the door. Wenlang turns back and pecks his forehead and then runs off with lele following him. The scene makes Gao tu smile.
It was tough, handling two alphas, one adult that mostly acted like a child and one child that was exactly like his father. Gao tu sighs and finally sits down to have his breakfast that has gone cold by now.
The omega had a perfect routine life. He wakes up early in the morning and cooks breakfast, then he prepares lele for school and lastly wakes wenlang up for office. After sending them off, he finally has time for himself which the omega spends very meticulously.
He helps the housekeeper who always comes after the alphas leave. He goes for grocery shopping in the afternoon sometimes or in other times goes upstairs to Sheng shaoyou's apartment to chat. Lele comes back around evening from his extra classes, then wenlang comes back by dinner time.
Life was smooth and peaceful for the omega. The days passed slow and steady, sometimes a little too fast but in the end each day ended with laughter and joy.
Gao tu had resigned from his job long ago, even though wenlang had begged him to continue. Gao tu couldn't manage being a mother to their child and also being wenlang's secretary because working for the company was very hectic.
Now the omega spends his days in peace and comfort of their house. But the omega hasn't stopped earning. Two years ago he had gotten into the charity investment business, wenlang introduced it to him. The omega has always wanted to help the society in a way, specially the backward omegas that still lived in poor conditions with almost no healthcare.
Gao tu invests in omega healthcare facilities, maternity facilities and funds children's education. Wenlang gives him all the freedom of handling their money. Gao tu frequently volunteers in charity programmes, sponsors young talents. For him the money that returned to him didn't matter, the fact that he was helping someone was enough for him.
Besides his business, Gao tu was a typical omega wife catering to his family. Content with his life. As the mate of the s-class alpha, he had certain duties which he happily carried out. Life was definitely sweet and auspicious.

"Mr shen is out right now. Do you have an appointment?" The beta woman stops Gao tu midway. She was a new employee. She probably doesn't know who Gao tu was. The omega just smiles softly at her and shakes his head.
"I am sorry but you cannot see him without an appointment."
"Where do I make an appointment?" Gao tu plays along.
"Ah.....an appointment is supposed to be made a week prior. Can I ask what you're here for?" She was hesitant, a little nervous.
"I just wanted to talk with him. Please make an appointment for now." Gao tu looks down at his watch, it wasn't past 4 yet so wenlang must be on his way now.
"I am afraid that isn't possible."
"Then I shall wait here till he arrives." Gao tu just smiled at the beta, he did feel a bit guilty putting her into that situation. She doesn't say deny the omega. Probably Gao tu was someone important.
Judging from the expensive attire of the omega, he was definitely someone important. Gao tu wasn't just an ordinary guest. He was dressed in an expensive cardigan that she could recognise was from a luxury brand. The watch he wore was also expensive. However those didn't define him, it was the calm demeanor of the omega that catches her attention. The omega was so calm and collected.
"Mama!" The voice of the little devil resonates in the silent office. The child comes running to gao tu, jumping on him. Gao tu catches him, instantly laughter spilling out. The beta woman gawked in confusion.
Then the alpha appears slowly walking towards the pair. He stops and ruffles the child's messy hair. Wenlang had picked him up on his way from the karate classes.
Wenlang then proceeds to peck the omega's forehead. Then the beta finally gets it, however her short amusement ended as she remembered her behaviour a few moments ago.
"Let's go in." Wenlang picks up the child and walks inside the office.
"Have a good day." Gao tu's sudden voice pulls the beta out of her thoughts. She nervously nods and bows as the omega walks inside following his husband.

"Hua yong is throwing a party for sheng's birthday tomorrow." The alpha speaks between his ongoing battle with lele who was throwing punches and kicks at his father, a play battle.
"We should buy a gift then." Gao tu immediately thinks of what to gift the kid who was going to be six this year.
"I was thinking about a mini car, the same one we got for lele." Wenlang puts out the idea.
"Hm....what about getting him the gold Lego set that was put up for auction last week?"
"Now you're ready to ignore the 'allowance' huh?"
Gao tu displays a playful smile. Wenlang rolls his eyes and sighs.
"Not fair, mama!" Lele scolds making Gao tu fake a cry.
Gao tu can't deny it either, he was in fact ignoring the allowance limits. He has always been extremely generous with gifts. He doesn't mind spending a few millions on the gift.
"I also want the gold Lego set!" Lele begs. This time his puppy eyes seem to work.
"Ok! Only this time." Gao tu surrenders to his silly little devil.
"Then I also want my allowance to increase." Wenlang barely finishes before Gao tu gives him the 'look'. He shuts back up.
Gao tu bursts out in laughter again, wenlang does too. After all it was such a silly little moment, peaceful yet lively.
