The door to the outpatient room was pushed open, and He She looked up from his record sheet at the uninvited guest with a cane:
“Elder Mr. Jiang, I remember that you are not one of the patients I have scheduled today.”
The old man walked in with a smile and closed the door: “I told your nurse that you are my future grandson-in-law. I just came to see you, not to see a doctor.” Then he walked to the chair in front of He She and sat down.
He She closed the record sheet, his face was indifferent: “Elder Mr. Jiang, just say whatever you want to ask, don’t beat around the bush and say something I like to hear, making it look like you have ulterior motives.”
“I like smart juniors like you. Your grandfather and father are both well-known figures in the medical field and have made many contributions to the motherland. Intellectuals like you have excellent genes. As far as I know, you have known Yi Qiao from our family since junior high school, and until you graduated from college, you have known each other for more than 10 years. I think you can’t possibly dislike an Omega like him.”
“No need to specially praise me, I don’t like to hear these.”
The old man showed appreciation. He looked at He She’s attitude and became more and more satisfied. “I think you know that our Yi Qiao is very repulsive to Alphas, but you are the first one who can get close to him. His father and I are both Alphas, so he doesn’t like it. Doesn’t this mean that you and Yi Qiao are very compatible?”
“He doesn’t know that I’m an Alpha.” He She crossed his arms: “He thinks I’m Beta.”
“How is that possible?” The old man was puzzled. He looked at He She in front of him and did not feel the Alpha breath on He She. After a moment, he suddenly realised: “You covered up the Alpha breath and made him think you are a Beta, and you didn’t say anything about it. Doesn’t that mean that you are very compatible with each other? The compatibility between you is high, so Yi Qiao doesn’t feel uncomfortable?”
“My compatibility with him is 80%.” He She confessed: “But right now he doesn’t like me, and a fit of only 80% doesn’t suit Yi Qiao, he needs an Alpha with a compatibility of 100% or more.”
The old man obviously questioned whether such a high degree of compatibility really existed: “Even though there is an 80% compatibility between you, it can’t alleviate Yi Qiao’s condition? How serious is his condition now?”
He She glanced at the old man, listening to the worry and anxiety in his tone, and thoughtfully judged the authenticity of this. Was he really concerned about Chu Yi Qiao or was he just pretending to inquire about Chu Yi Qiao’s condition?
“Yi Qiao may have told you about our family, but I’m not his useless father. As his grandfather, I’m really worried about him.” The old man leaned on the top of the cane with both hands. Although he was old, his back was still straight. Under the vicissitudes of his face, the demeanour of his youth could still be seen. He sighed: “I can’t just watch Yi Qiao get into trouble. He doesn’t want me to take care of his affairs, but can I really leave him alone? He is my only grandson.”
“If Yi Qiao still can’t find an Alpha with a 100% fit, he won’t live more than 3 years.”
Like a bolt from the blue, the old man’s pupils shrank slightly, and his hand holding the cane trembled: “Wh-what did you say? Can’t live more than 3 years?”
“Isn’t this as your son wishes, to let Qiao die quickly so that he can inherit the inheritance?” He She didn’t show any mercy. He didn’t have any good feelings for Chu Yi Qiao’s grandfather. When he was still in school, he saw Chu Yi Qiao being taken away and unable to resist. He knew that Chu Yi Qiao’s relationship with his family must be very bad.
Now he has really seen it. Both his father and grandfather are eager for Chu Yi Qiao to leave quickly.
But it seems that it can’t be as they wish.
“Is there any other kind of method that can cure Yi Qiao of this disease?” The old man was incredulous. Although he knew that this pheromone disorder syndrome was very tricky, he didn’t expect it to be so sudden. If Chu Yi Qiao really only had these 3 years left, if he couldn’t find any way in these 3 years, would the child be gone.
If Chu Xin Xin, she would hate him to death.
He She was silent for a few seconds.
Such silence made the old man anxious. He suddenly leaned on his cane and his voice that landed on the ground was loud and clear: “I can do anything as long as you can cure Yi Qiao, whatever the price.”
Although the old man was old, his voice still revealed the majesty of a superior Alpha.
“Didi you know that here is a little Apha next to Qiao?”
“I know.” When the old man heard He She mention this little Alpha, he half-squinted his eyes and looked at He She: “What do you mean, do you mean that this little Alpha can cure Yi Qiao’s disease?”
He She shook his head: “No, he will kill Qiao, because there is only a 5% fit between them, such a fit would undoubtedly be fatal for Qiao, it may take less than 3 years for Qiao to experience rapid organ failure until his vital signs disappear.”
The old man frowned, and the traces of vicissitudes on his face became deeper: “5%? Why does Yi Qiao still keep such an Alpha?”
“Isn’t this something you guys forced?” He She smiled, his handsome face carrying an unfathomable smile: “Why are you asking why now? This little Alpha was given to Qiao by your son himself. Qiao doesn’t want to be tortured like this anymore. Rather than being haunted by such an Alpha every now and then, it’s better to keep him here. It’s better to suffer a short pain than a long one.”
The old man seemed to be hearing this for the first time: “What do you mean, getting haunted by Alphas every now and then?”
“Did you not know? Your son always arranges for some Alpha to be near Qiao and he can’t smell it, so the Alpha’s influence on him is delayed. This resulted in him not being able to sleep well for a single night, insomnia, vomiting, high fever, even if the blocker can temporarily relieve his pain, but that’s only temporary, if he’s already experiencing vomiting of blood, then there is really no way to save him.
The old man was stunned. It was obviously the first time he heard about Chu Yi Qiao’s condition. He had asked someone before, but no one knew what Chu Yi Qiao’s condition was. That was because Chu Yi Qiao’s attending physician was He She, and only He She knew how serious Chu Yi Qiao’s condition was.
But he never thought that this disease would be so serious. If he can’t find it now, he will only have 3 years to live.
“You have to know that there is only one case of pheromone disorder syndrome in the world. The more special this disease is, the harder it is to find a destined Alpha. It is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is not certain whether there is a 100% compatible Alpha in this world. Even in such a situation, you still torture Qiao. I don’t think you are worried about Qiao. You have never cared about Qiao from the beginning to the end. You only have interests in your eyes.” He She saw that the old man’s face was a little pale because of what he said, and there was a hint of obscurity in his eyes: “Now there is only one way to delay Qiao’s illness.”
“What way?” The old man inquired anxiously: “As long as you tell me, I will find it immediately. I can find the best doctor in the world!”
He She smiled faintly: “You just need to let the little Alpha beside Qiao leave willingly, this is the only way.” As he said that, he opened a drawer beside him, took out a report, and then pushed it in front of the old man: “If Luo Qing Ye really wants to do good for Qiao, he should know what’s good for him and leave by himself, instead of letting Qiao continue to be tortured. And I have a way to save him.”
The old man looked at the information on the report and his hands couldn’t help but tremble.
Test report: The Omega has been comforted by the Alpha, and the degree of compatibility is only 5%. Please prohibit close contact, otherwise the mutually exclusive pheromones will cause backlash and aggravate the condition. In mild cases, there will be dizziness, decreased vision and vomiting, and in severe cases, there will be high fever, vomiting blood and shock.
***
The white wash basin wall was stained with bright red blood, which was extremely dazzling.
Chu Yi Qiao looked up at the person in the mirror, his pale face looked like a ghost, and only the blood on his lips made his face look a little colourful. The hand holding the sink was shaking a little. He raised his right hand expressionlessly to wipe the blood from his lips, then turned on the faucet and let the water flush the sink.
Then he rinsed his mouth, washed his hands with hand sanitizer, and finally pulled off the hand towel and wiped his hands clean in a slow and methodical manner.
It didn’t seem like spitting up blood was anything unusual.
After all, it’s a matter of time. This is the third time he vomited blood this week.
Two weeks had passed since he was temporarily marked by Luo Qing Ye. In these two weeks, he can clearly feel that the Alpha employees around him have become afraid of the pheromones on his body. They don’t need to be reminded to keep a distance from him. This is much better than his previous medication and injections.
But now there was another problem, he was vomiting blood and it was starting to become more frequent, how could this be explained.
He asked the doctor when he could check the compatibility. The doctor told him to check it every six months. He has extracted a large amount of Omega hormones recently. If he extracts it again in a short time, it may cause the Omega hormone level to decrease, which will also affect the pheromones attracting Alphas.
But that’s not scientific.
Knock knock knock—
“President Chu, are you inside?”
Koko, who had been waiting for Chu Yi Qiao to attend the meeting, was a little anxious. How come President Chu said he was going to wash his hands, but half an hour had passed and his hands were still not clean? Seeing that the meeting was about to start in five minutes, this was an international conference, and all the international expert groups had already arrived. It seemed unreasonable that the protagonist was not here yet.
Chu Yi Qiao came back to his senses, and he threw the tissue in his hand into the trash can. Just as he turned around, he suddenly felt dizzy and subconsciously supported the wall with his hands.
“……President Chu, President Chu?”
The dizziness came too suddenly, and his limbs seemed to be drained of strength. Chu Yi Qiao relied on his survival instinct to support himself on the wall to prevent himself from falling down. Koko’s voice kept coming from outside the door, but he had no strength to respond.
This situation was more intense than usual. It was said that this situation would only occur at night, but now it has even occurred during working hours.
A thought suddenly popped up in his head. Was it because Luo Qing Ye hadn’t been close to him for too long during his recovery that he became like this? Or was it because the temporary mark made him unable to bear Luo Qing Ye’s pheromones at all?
Cold sweat slid down his forehead.
Subconsciously, he reached for the necklace on his neck. He lowered his head and put the tip of his nose on the black crystal stone, taking a deep breath, as if absorbing something.
“President Chu, are you not inside?” Koko outside the door looked like she had seen a ghost, no, she had clearly seen President Chu go in just now, how come there was no one there now, she reached out her hand and prepared to push open the restroom.
The moment she held the handle, the bathroom door suddenly opened. Koko was startled when she saw Chu Yi Qiao coming out. When she saw that Chu Yi Qiao looked a little strange, her expression changed.
“President Chu, are you not feeling well?”
Chu Yi Qiao’s complexion was indeed not good. Although he was originally cold white skinned, even his lips were pale. It was obvious that something was wrong: “It’s okay, let’s go. Have the international expert group arrived?”
“Wait wait wait ……” Koko hastily pulled Chu Yi Qiao. When she touched Chu Yi Qiao’s hand, she felt it was hot, and it was not just ordinary hot. She widened her eyes: “President Chu, you have a fever, don’t you know it?”
Chu Yi Qiao wrinkled his eyebrows: “Is that so?” Raising his hand, he touched his forehead: “It seems to be a little hot.”
Thinking that it might be because Luo Qing Ye kept shouting that it was hot last night, he turned on the air conditioner for him.
Koko felt that Chu Yi Qiao’s mental state was not right, and she could smell the pheromones of an Alpha’s strong possessiveness when she got close to him. She silently moved a few steps away: “Hey, President Chu, your Alpha is a little fierce, look at how haggard he’s made you.”
Chu Yi Qiao: “……Which Alpha?”
Koko’s eyes widened suddenly. Which alpha? When did President Chu have so many Alphas? She was so shocked that she was speechless: “President Chu, when did you start to flipping Alpha cards1in ancient times, the emperor would flip a card to determine which wife/concubine he will sleep with that night.? Don’t you even know who messed with you?”
Chu Yi Qiao now heard what Koko was saying, he expressionlessly flicked his finger on Koko’s forehead: “I’m your boss, please pay attention to your words, thank you.” He said and walked out the door.
It should be no problem to hold on for a meeting.
Koko covered her forehead in pain, and hurriedly followed Chu Y Qiao when she saw him walking: “No, I’m telling the truth, President Chu, the Alpha smell on you is too strong, and I feel uncomfortable when I smell this pheromone, it’s so fierce. This must be a possessive and domineering Alpha, otherwise he wouldn’t leave such a strong smell on you, as if he wants everyone in the world to know that you are an Omega with an Alpha, so that people don’t get close to you.”
Chu Yi Qiao paused, he looked at Koko sideways: “Is it very strong? How strong?”
“Very strong, it’s like a bottle of perfume all sprayed on you kind of level.” Koko was suddenly curious: “This Alpha must have bitten you every day to give you pheromones, right? Otherwise, how can there be such a strong pheromone? Well, it seems that this Alpha has a strong desire.”
Chu Yi Qiao: “…… “ Luo Qing Ye also only bit him once, where is there many times: “Is that so?”
Seeing that Chu Yi Qiao’s complexion was still not good, Koko said: “President Chu, why don’t you use a little of my lipstick, just a little bit, it won’t be obvious, just make your lips look less pale, after all, you have a very important report later, and your mental state is still very important.”
“Ok.”
“Then you sit down first, I’ll use my fingers to apply it on you.”
Chu Yi Qiao sat down on the sofa beside him.
Koko took her lipstick out of her skirt pocket, opened the lid and applied it with her fingertips, then stood in front of Chu Yi Qiao and leaned over to gently apply lipstick on his lips.
“Ge Ge, I’ve already—”
Just then, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and Luo Qing Ye, who was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw this scene, his face suddenly turned black.
Koko leaned down close to Chu Yi Qiao, the two looked like they were kissing.
“What are you guys doing!!!”
Koko was applying lipstick to Chu Yi Qiao, and was frightened by a roar behind her, so she directly applied the lipstick on. She looked up in shock, and met Luo Qing Ye’s vicious eyes at the door, and her heart skipped a beat.
Also at this instant she smelled a very familiar pheromone scent that she had just smelled on President Chu.
Koko: “……?” That ferocious Alpha pheromones on President Chu’s body was the little Alpha’s???
Luo Qing Ye stared viciously at Chu Yi Qiao who was sitting on the sofa. Seeing the lipstick on his lips, as if he had kissed too hard. He just went out for a class, and this happened when he came back.
Chu Yi Qiao saw Luo Qing Ye come with a fierce look, like a young husband who caught an adulterer: “Finished class?”
“Ge Ge, why did you kiss Koko, do you like her?” Luo Qing Ye pushed his wheelchair to Chu Yi Qiao, he was so angry that his chest was heaving up and down. He couldn’t help but ask, how could this man ask him whether he wanted to get married and then turn around and be so intimate with his secretary.
Chu Yi Qiao saw Luo Qing Ye’s anxious eyes and thought it was a little cute. He couldn’t help but laugh:
“Do you think it’s possible?”
Luo Qing Ye felt bashful when Chu Yi Qiao laughed: “E-Even if it’s not, why are you guys so close?”
“Substituting your own identity so quickly?” Chu Yi Qiao gently pulled the person over.
The distance was shortened instantly, Luo Qing Ye met Chu Yi Qiao’s amber eyes under his glasses, and the gentleness hidden in his smile could make him drown in such charm.
He simply could not resist Chu Yi Qiao.
“Little jealous husband.” Chu Yi Qiao laughed out loud.
Luo Qing Ye’s face instantly reddened.
Koko on the side tried hard to hold back a scream: “……” Who am I? Where am I? Can I die yet?
melon: 🤣🤣🤣
I would say my favourite characters after the main CP is Koko and Yuan Nian. 🤣
