Chapter 27: 27

Seeing that Shen Dai’s eyes were red, with his chest heaving up and down, and his tightly pursed lips seemed to block the grievances in his stomach, Qu Moyu couldn’t bear it.

He had investigated and found that Shen Dai was indeed visiting the exhibition with a group of colleagues. But at the time the video was taken, he was only standing with Zhou Lan. He and the other are both alphas. What was the intention of leaving pheromones on an omega on purpose? And combined with his act in front of Shen Dai today, the answer is very certain. He knew that Shen Dai didn’t have the guts to do anything behind his back, but he couldn’t tolerate an alpha who worked together with him every day coveting his omega.

It is necessary to let the other party retreat in spite of difficulties.

Qu Moyu put on a gentle look and reached out to Shen Dai: “Come here. Let me have a hug.”

Shen Dai lowered his head: “You should go out. They are waiting for you.”

“I’m the boss. It doesn’t matter.”

“If you do this… there will be bad rumours.”

“It’s okay.” Qu Moyu spread out his hands, “Come here.”

Qu Moyu’s hands are very large, with slender fingers and well-defined joints. The connection of each phalanx contains a sense of strength. When the palm is up and stretched, it seems to mean invitation and acceptance. But in Shen Dai’s eyes, it is clearly a sign of a trap. This is because he can easily gather his five fingers and grasp everything that falls into it, whether actively or passively.

Standing in his office, Shen Dai felt isolated and helpless. This is because as far as everything that he could see, including himself, were all Qu Moyu’s ‘assets’. He walked over slowly and placed his hand into Qu Moyu’s palm—a hand he had imagined to grasp countless times, but at this time, he couldn’t feel the warmth.

Qu Moyu pulled Shen Dai into his arms and squeezed his soft fair cheeks gently: “You are wronged. Angry, eh?”

Shen Dai lowered his head and pondered for a moment: “What on earth are you trying to do today?”

“If I said it was for you, would you be less angry?” Qu Moyu kissed Shen Dai’s face with a tone of teasing a troubled cat, “You can’t see that the little boy is interested in you?”

Shen Dai thought to himself; ‘That little boy is only two years younger than you’, and he whispered, “So what can I do about it?”

“Can’t I help to make him sober?” Qu Moyu smiled and said casually, “We are all adults. I don’t want to restrict you. And I believe that you will abide by the contract. But this man, you get to see him every day. So try to avoid giving me doubts.”

The word ‘contract’ always sounded so harsh for Shen Dai. He understood what Qu Moyu meant. Even if he was only a nominal, private wife who was going to be divorced sooner or later, he would not tolerate any promiscuous behaviour. But does Qu Moyu have to use such a humiliating way to exercise the rights of ‘Party A’?

Shen Dai said blankly, “Okay.”

“Cheer up.” Qu Moyu pinched Shen Dai’s soft cheeks again. The man looked thin, but felt soft in all the right places.

“It’s almost time to get off work, you’d better go back first.”

Qu Moyu can feel that Shen Dai was a little moody. It brought out a different kind of taste compared with the usual obedient him. He looked at his watch: “Come with me and wait for me in the parking lot at 7:15.”

“Tonight I…”

“I want to take you out for dinner tonight.” Qu Moyu stared at Shen Dai with those deep eyes, “How about going out on a date with me?”

Shen Dai was stunned. His heart beat fiercely. But then he realised sadly that even if he was angry with Qu Moyu, he would still be moved by this little sweetness he can offer.

Shen Dai deliberately spilled some alcohol on his clothes, and used the pungent smell to cover up the ebony fragrance that Qu Moyu left on his body. Only then did he dare to walk out of the laboratory and go to Qu Moyu’s exclusive parking lot.

Both the car and Lao Wu were already there. Shen Dai got into the car, and Lao Wu nodded to him and booked for the restaurant. After waiting for less than ten minutes, Qu Moyu came.

Qu Moyu wrinkled his nose as soon as he got in the car: “Why does it smell like alcohol?”

“I sprinkled some on my clothes.” Shen Dai explained, “otherwise others will smell your pheromones.”

This time, Qu Moyu even frowned. He felt that Shen Dai was right and did the right thing, but he was still unhappy: “Lao Wu, go to the mall first to change his clothes.”

Shen Dai opened his mouth, but in the end he didn’t say anything. Qu Moyu was used to not accepting rejection and his refusal would be meaningless.

Qu Moyu took Shen Dai to a men’s clothing store and handed him over to the shopping assistant: “Give him a few more sets of casual clothes, which can be worn at work and also at ordinary times.”

“Okay, Mr. Qu.”

Qu Moyu sat aside and made a phone call. Shen Dai watched the shopping assistant gesturing towards him some of the clothes one by one, and after accidentally looking at the price tag, he thought, ‘I definitely can’t wear it to work.’

When he was trying on the clothes, his phone vibrated twice. And when he opened it, he saw that it was from Cheng Zimei: why are you running so fast? The crown prince has been in your office for so long, what were you two talking about?

The message was followed by a few excited emoticons.

With the clothes in his hand, Shen Dai could only reply using voice notes: we talked about work.

After Cheng Zimei sent another message but he didn’t reply.

When Shen Dai finished changing his clothes and went out, he was listening to the surprise “Brother Yu” called out by someone when a radiant couple walked in, arm in arm. It was Qu Chengchen and You Baiyue, followed by a man who was carrying a handful of large and small bags. 

Qu Chengchen raised his eyebrows in surprise: “Big brother actually goes shopping with my sister-in-law.”

“Got a problem with that?”

Qu Chengchen smiled but did not say a word. He only looked at Shen Dai with a deeper meaning.

Shen Dai stood not far away, not knowing how to react for a moment.

“Brother Yu, you bring my brother here to buy clothes.” You Baiyue walked to Shen Dai in a few steps, “This body is okay, but this brand is not suitable for you as a whole, it’s too business-like.” He turned his head and said to Qu Moyu, “Yu Brother, you don’t usually wear a lot of ready-to-wear clothes, so why did you choose to buy him clothes here? He’s a young omega, this kind of clothes is too dull.” There was a bit of coquettish resentment in his tone, and it was soft. This kind of pretty face can indeed easily break off alpha’s bones.

Qu Moyu likes someone ‘being coquettish to him’, but Shen Dai really can’t learn how to do it.

“He usually wears plain clothes.” Qu Moyu looked at You Baiyue with a smile, “Then you can choose for him? I’m afraid the one you choose might be suitable for him.”

“Okay, let’s go, I’ll take you to another store.”

Shen Dai said politely, “No need, I usually have to go to work. So it’s better to be a little more dull.”

“You have to go to work and live. Believe me, I promise to make you look much better.” You Baiyue said with a smile, “It looks more suitable for Brother Yu.”

Shen Dai turned a deaf ear to his sarcasm, whether intentional or unintentional, and said calmly, “Thank you. No need.”

Qu Chengchen beckoned to You Baiyue: “Don’t worry about what people like to wear, aren’t you tired already? Let’s go eat.”

“Okay.” You Baiyue said to Qu Moyu, “Where is Brother Yu going to eat? Let’s go together.”

Shen Dai’s heart tightened, and he looked at Qu Moyu. He hoped that Qu Moyu would refuse, because this was their ‘date’. Even if it was only as a bit of compensation, even if it wasn’t in the way that he wanted, he still can’t help but to look forward to it.

However, Qu Moyu’s eyes were looking at You Baiyue. It was so easy to see how his eyes glowed. He agreed without any hesitation.

Shen Dai lowered his eyes sadly, feeling unspeakable in his heart. He solemnly warned himself in his heart; don’t, don’t expect any more from Qu Mo.

The restaurant they went to overlooked the most prosperous night scene in the city. The dishes are improved Chinese dishes, and the dishes are exquisite and delicious. It is indeed a suitable place for a date.

Shen Dai ate in silence and listened to the three of them talking about interesting happenings in their childhood. Perhaps it was because You Baiyue was here that the Qu family brothers were rarely at odds with each other. On the contrary, he himself was an outsider who couldn’t understand what they were talking about and couldn’t participate in their stories. He just hoped that it would end sooner so he could go home and revise his thesis.

After eating for the whole length of seven minutes, Shen Dai got up and went to the bathroom. After he went to the toilet, he stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and looked at himself. He wore expensive clothes which are focused on texture and tailoring. Compared with the cheap sweaters and shirts he wore before, the cashmere sweaters and casual trousers with the price of tens of thousands RMB are indeed attractive. It looks distinctive.

It is said that people need clothes to show off. It is a necessary disguise to get around in the mundane world. But disguise is ‘not real’ after all. Even if he and his tablemates wear clothes of the same price, they are still not from the same world.

He really didn’t know what he was doing here.

Just when he was in a daze, a man came into the view in the mirror and gave him a wink.

Shen Dai lowered his head and pretended to wash his hands, You Baiyue leaned beside him and said with a smile, “Oh yeah. Brother Yu never accompany anyone to buy clothes. This kind of boring thing, if he can spend money, he won’t waste time on it.”

“My clothes were dirty.” Shen Dai left those words indifferently, and turned to leave.

You Baiyue stood in front of him. He then said innocently and aggrievedly: “Why do you always resist me so much? It was as if I would do something bad to you. Do you have persecution paranoia?”

“Why are you interested in me so much?” Shen Dai asked him back, “Have I ever threatened you?”

You Baiyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “I’d like to say that in fact, I really hope you can handle Brother Yu. We are still connected by blood. Be smart and I can help you.”

“No need.” Shen Dai frowned and looked at You Baiyue, “I don’t want to have too much interaction with the likes of you. I think I made it very clear. It would be rude of you to do this again.”

You Baiyue laughed and said: “Oh, if I’m rude, what can you do to me? You really don’t know what to do. Don’t you want to get the mark from Brother Yu? Don’t pretend, I won’t believe it.”

Shen Dai sarcastically said: “It’s what you yourself can’t get. Why do you have to bring it up repeatedly? Are you obsessed?”

You Baiyue widened her eyes and said angrily: “You are not only ignorant of what’s good or bad for you, but you are also incompetent. To be able to be with S-class alphas, you can do whatever you want with money, fame and fortune. As long as you have the ability, it is not impossible to get the mark. But you’re ridiculous. You only want affection.”

“You may have an obsession, but I don’t…”

“Top alphas have no emotions.” You Baiyue stared at Shen Dai, with clear bloodshot eyes gradually emerging, “Their life philosophy can only be summed up in one word – ‘victory’.”
