Although Lu Yunye’s tone was interrogative, the strength in his hands did not relax at all.
The moment Shi Yi approached him, he subconsciously turned his head to drive him away, but Lu Yunye remained motionless. And the moment his gland was touched, he was completely lost, like a prey caught by the neck. Struggling is futile.
Shi Yi nodded slightly.
His glands can’t secrete too much pheromone, nor did Lu Yunye use pheromone to induce him. Just a little flirting and kissing, and suddenly he was bitten on the throat. It didn’t hurt very much, but it made him feel the fear of being mastered.
Even if he can’t mark him, Lu Yunye still likes to bite his neck. This is probably a common problem among alphas.
Shi Yi yelped, subconsciously stepping back. But his legs and feet were weak, so he staggered and almost fell.
Those powerful palms moved to his legs and lifted him up smoothly. Breathing heavily, Shi Yi hugged the other person’s neck, feeling the powerful beats in the carotid artery under his palms.
Lu Yunye’s face to the base of his neck was flushed.
He actually resisted, physically, the thought of being separated from Shi Yi, as he carried him back to the bedroom. He didn’t know if it was the so-called chronic susceptibility period that Song Wei mentioned, because this kind of reaction was beyond his mind’s control.
Just like how babies will cry when taken away from their mothers, because they instinctively feel fear when they lose their sense of security. Upon realizing the omega in front of him might be the source of his sense of security, Lu Yunye pressed down mercilessly, almost devouring him whole.
On the one hand, the pride of a top alpha resisted the urge to rely on anyone or anything; all the education Lu Yunye received was to help him better control himself. Emotions are often insignificant to them, because the most important thing is always the satisfaction of desires. The feeling of being emotionally controlled by someone else is terrible, and anxiety arose out of this fear.
On the other hand, his body was strongly attracted by Shi Yi, yet this attraction was not derived from pheromones. He was afraid that he would be abandoned by an omega, so he willingly lowered his noble head.
Just like a wild beast that is about to be domesticated. The savagery in his bones makes him growl and refuse to put on a collar, but he is also greedy for the palm that can soothe and bring him warmth.
He lowered his head and whispered in Shi Yi’s ear, “I’ll be slower.”
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yunye’s eyes darkened as he hugged him tightly. Their positions were too biased. Lu Yunye’s arms almost caught up with his calves, bringing them up to his chest, and wrapping Shi Yi in an almost suffocating pleasure.
“Uh, it hurts…” Shi Yi wanted to cry, but he couldn’t cry out because of the pain from cramping.
Seeing his sudden paleness, Lu Yunye was startled, and hurriedly got up, only to realize that Shi Yi’s calf muscles were stiff.
“It’s okay, I’ll help.”
Back when Lu Yunye was in the army, cramps were almost a common occurrence, and he was very familiar with how to deal with them. He grabbed Shi Yi’s ankle and stretched it, pressing his big palm on the spasming muscles, and stroked down hard.
“…Ow!” Shi Yi almost wanted to kick him away. His voice was full of tears, and he was obviously in pain, and almost reflexively kicked out.
“Be patient, it’ll be better soon,” Lu Yunye relaxed his movements, and only slowly pulled the soles of his feet upwards to straighten his legs.
Between them, one has pale skin, and the other is a healthy honey color, yet their intertwined bodies are surprisingly harmonious.
But Shi Yi refused to be honest anymore, struggling like a fish. “Let me go, I’ll do it myself.”
Lu Yunye didn’t let him retract his legs. If he didn’t straighten them now, he would easily get cramps again.
Shi Yi suddenly didn’t dare to move anymore, with tears in his eyes, as he looked at him pitifully.
Lu Yunye groaned helplessly, releasing more soothing pheromones. “Don’t be afraid…”
Shi Yi nodded, feeling that the muscles on his calf had softened a little. The cramps only hurt for the first few minutes, and then became swollen afterward.
He hesitated and retracted his legs: “It’s much better.”
“We will strengthen our training in the future.” Lu Yunye said.
Shi Yi didn’t say a word. After being overstimulated, the alpha’s soothing pheromones were like a calming drizzle. He only had time to refuse in his head before falling asleep.
Lu Yunye took them to clean up. Their clothes were crumpled and thrown on the ground, but not dirty. He picked them up, and wanted to throw them into the washing machine, but accidentally picked out a few pieces and packed them up.
The consequence of being too indulgent is that Shi Yi slept through the entire weekend. When he was finally awake, it was already Monday, and Lu Yunye was about to go on a business trip.
The schedule given by Tang Yi is tentatively scheduled for five days, but it was difficult to know for certain. It’s also possible to drag on for half a month.
“Are you going there by yourself?” Shi Yi was a little worried. After all, the south is Lu Jingyan’s territory, and it’s not clear how much of the branch office has been infiltrated by his people. Is Lu Yunye going there too rash?
“Dai Xing will be with me.” Lu Yunye straightened his neckline. The suit he wore was designed by Shi Yi for him, maximizing the advantages of his figure, making his whole aura look fierce.
“Lu Jingyan is still in the north, and should stay until the Mid-Autumn Festival,” Lu Yunye leaned over to Shi Yi’s ear, “I will be back before then.”
“En…” Shi Yi nodded. Mid-Autumn Festival is an important festival just like Lunar New Year. Many aristocratic families will have family reunions during this time, and even family members abroad will rush back. If Lu Jingyan wants to do something tricky, there is a high probability that he will choose this day.
So Lu Yunye’s secret trip there should be to cut off his escape route.
Shi Yi could sense the unusual atmosphere during this period. Lu Yunye going out early and returning late, and the atmosphere in the villa. Although Lu Yunye didn’t show it, he still felt the other party’s emotions and anxiety.
The cedar-flavored pheromone that still smelled good was tinged with anger, but Lu Yunye didn’t tell him what happened, so he didn’t ask.
After Lu Yunye left, the villa instantly became empty.
The cedar scent pheromone that lingers around him left, and the master bedroom became deserted. Shi Yi was not used to sleeping on the big bed alone, and always felt uncomfortable rolling around, so he chose to move back to the guest room on the second night.
Lu Yunye would send messages every day, but Shi Yi was also busy, so it would take him a few hours before he could reply. The two used the chat as if it were email, replying a few words every now and then to let each other know their status.
On the night he finally moved back to the guest room, Lu Yunye called. It was getting late, and Shi Yi was about to listen to a few white noise videos to sleep.
In the picture, Lu Yunye should have just taken a shower, and his hair was not yet dry. He casually brushed it back, revealing a smooth and full forehead, looking mature and sexy. Shi Yi had never seen Lu Yunye like this before, and couldn’t help being stunned for a moment.
“Why aren’t you in the master bedroom?” Lu Yunye was probably very tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.
“Mm… I’m not used to sleeping there alone,” Shi Yi could only say. “It’s more comfortable to sleep in a small bed.”
“En,” Lu Yunye’s voice was a little lazy. “There is a sleep-aiding scent in the drawer, you can use some of that.”
Sleep-aiding scent? Lu Yunye uses this kind of thing?
Shi Yi put the phone on the bedside, and went to look for it. It was probably because he was alone at home, so he only put on a top after showering. It barely covered his legs, revealing his silhouette when he bent over.
Lu Yunye on the opposite side of the camera stopped breathing.
When he was at home, the other party was tightly covered, but when he couldn’t see or touch, his omega became more and more seductive.
The screen flashed. Shi Yi had returned, holding a small bottle in his hand. His face was a little red.
It was a new fragrance recently released by a big brand, cedar scented. He knew some people would choose scents similar to their pheromones to use in public. It won’t offend others, and help deepen their impression in the minds of those around them.
He tried a little. The taste was similar, but it didn’t have the unique soothing effect of Lu Yunye’s pheromone, but it was still better than nothing.
Shi Yi was a little disappointed, and couldn’t help frowning. Lu Yunye stared at the screen, his bloodshot eyes seemed redder than before.
But when he raised his head, Shi Yi still said, “It’s very useful, thank you.”
“Lu Yunye… your eyes seem a little red.”
“It’s the steam in the shower…” Lu Yunye suppressed his breath. “Sleep, I’ll be with you.”
He resisted the urge to put his hand into the bathrobe. His omega slid into the quilt obediently, just like every time he nestled in his arms, with only his head exposed.
There was a clear knock on the door. He and Dai Xing lived in different rooms of the same suite. Lu Yunye went to open the door, and whispered, “What’s the matter?”
Dai Xing imitated his appearance exaggeratedly, and said in a breathy voice: “Something went wrong, but it’s not a big problem. President Lu, please continue.”
Lu Yunye glanced at the screen. The omega was huddled under the blanket motionless. The light from the night light was warm and soft. He must have fallen asleep.
“Shi Yi just fell asleep.” He hung up the phone, opened the door and walked to the shared living room.
“Fine,” Dai Xing made an ok gesture, and said in grief and indignation. “I’m here to help you check documents, but President Lu closed the door to fall in love. How’s this reasonable!”
“Let me see.” Lu Yunye took the thing in his hand, and saw several places marked with a bright highlighter.
Dai Xing’s voice finally became serious: “The two projects that Lu Jingyan invested in this year are both leather companies, and have no business results at all. I suspect…”
“Money laundering.” Lu Yunye said firmly.
“Yes,” Dai Xing nodded. They expected Lu Jingyan to make some small moves in the south, but the purpose of Lu Yunye’s trip was not only that.
The two connected to the encrypted computer, and a more secretive report suddenly appeared, which was a special study on the alpha susceptible period.
Seeing the black-and-white report, Lu Yunye’s eyes darkened. Qingxi Mountain was so noisy that all kinds of ghosts and tricksters could smell it.1basically an idiom saying that it’s easy to see something is wrong
Most of the people who knew about his susceptibility period were the Lu family’s cronies. If Lu Jingyan could get the information, one can imagine how much the people around him were infiltrated.
The susceptibility period has always been a very taboo thing in the business circle, because it will interfere with an alpha’s decision-making ability, and such proud people will never allow their abilities to be questioned.
With the current situation of the Lu family, this report is equivalent to directly pushing him to the forefront. Normally alphas in the susceptible period will temporarily avoid the limelight, but he is watched by countless pairs of eyes, and any slight change may be linked to the company’s stock price.
“Brother Lu, what should we do now?” Dai Xing asked.
Although Lu Yunye is the youngest among them, his aura as a top alpha is too strong. When he was a soldier, he was always a rear-guard sniper. Dai Xing called him elder brother very smoothly.
“He wants to collect information about my susceptibility period,” Lu Yunye said slowly. “So let’s help him.”
Dai Xing: ?
“Let him be the person in charge of the Lu family, and see if he can swallow it.” Lu Yunye’s eyebrows and eyes finally showed a bit of cruelty.
Lu Jingyan’s desire was clear, but it’s hard to say how far he’s infiltrated into the core personnel in Beijing. Thinking of his former subordinates, a bunch of ghosts and snakes in human skin, Lu Yunye’s anger finally burst out.
“He doesn’t have enough evidence right now, so he’s been hesitant to act. We’re running out of time, and need him to reveal his cards before the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
“Then how can we help him collect evidence?” Dai Xing was stunned for a moment, and then panic flashed across his face. “Wait, you don’t mean to…”
Man-made susceptibility period?
Lu Yunye walked into the room without saying a word, poured all the medicine Song Wei had prescribed into the trash can, and then said to Dai Xing: “Go buy a rope. You may need to tie me up when the time comes.”
Y’all should be able to guess what happens next/soon.
