The next day, they had breakfast together. When they were about to go out, Qu Moyu asked, “Is your grandma going to an appointment today?”

“Yeah, what did Assistant Cheng tell you?” Shen Dai was very happy. Every time Qu Moyu showed his concern for his affairs, it proved that they have a close relationship.

“That the indicators are normal now.”

Shen Dai said with a smile: “Yes. Grandma is recovering well and has a good appetite. She has gained almost ten pounds during this period of time.”

“Very good.” Qu Moyu nodded with satisfaction, “Let’s go to work.”

Shen Dai took two steps forward and suddenly came to Qu Moyu’s side. While no one was around, he tiptoed and kissed him. He then whispered, “Thank you. Thanks to you, my grandma wouldn’t be able to enjoy such a good medical care.”

Qu Moyu glanced at Shen Dai with a smile. His eyes were slightly curved. The curvature was charming and good-looking, and his eyes showed a meaningful look. He touched Shen Dai’s hair: “You’re welcome.”

At noon, Shen Dai invited Cheng Ruoze to have dinner at a high-end Cantonese restaurant near the company. After lunch, the two of them would take the business car seconded by Cheng Ruoze to pick up Shen Dai’s grandmother. Then, they went to the hospital together.

During these several appointments, Cheng Ruoze had arranged for a car to pick up and deliver them. Although this was a task that Qu Moyu had entrusted to him, Shen Dai still thanked him very much.

Cheng Ruoze was very busy with his work. He picked up two phone calls during dinner and when he came back, the dishes were a little cold.

“Sorry, Shen Gong.” Cheng Ruoze said with a wry smile, “There have been a lot of things happening recently. You know, there is some turmoil inside and outside of the company right now.”

Shen Dai was also very embarrassed: “Allow me to go by myself next time. It’s also very convenient for me to take a taxi. It takes a whole afternoon of your time. It’s too much time for you.”

“That won’t work, this matter is more important than other matters.” Cheng Ruoze looked at his watch: “Let’s hurry up and eat first.”

“Okay.”

The two chatted while eating, and Shen Dai learned that Cheng Ruoze’s father was an old subordinate of Qu Shen.

Cheng Ruoze’s personality is different from that of many well-born A-level alphas. He has no obvious superiority, and is funny and easy-going. They talked about the company’s big and small trends, and also about Qu Moyu himself. It was obvious that he admired Qu Moyu very much. He was also very smart. Not only regarding workplace wisdom, but also regarding life wisdom.

Shen Dai is also very happy to listen to him and learn more stuff about Qu Moyu that he does not know, such as the difference between Qu Moyu when he was in school and after he went to work. And also how he became a qualified figure in front of employees, executives, elders and other people. He is the decision maker. He has to know how to deal with pressure and setbacks. Shen Dai also listened to the stories behind some of his most talked-about achievements.

After talking, Cheng Ruoze became worried again: “Now there are a lot of happenings in the company, but Mr. Qu is about to enter the susceptible period. Even if he takes medicine, it can only be shortened by two or three days.”

Shen Dai frowned and said, “Suppressive drugs during the susceptible period are very harmful to the body.”

Although the susceptibility period of alpha is only once a year, it is ferocious and the degree of hormone imbalance is much higher than that of omega. In the past, if the susceptibility period was delayed or suppressed with hormonal drugs, it was not necessarily successful, and the damage to the body was greater, so now it was the best choice.

However, the current situation of the company is indeed not optimistic, and Qu Moyu may not be able to allow himself to disappear for a week.

“Yeah, we will decide after seeing the situation. We are all trying to persuade President Qu.” Cheng Ruoze sighed, “You can also persuade him when you have time. Compared with us, President Qu will definitely listen to you more.”

Shen Dai knew that Qu Moyu would probably not listen to him, but he still had to try. He asked again: “He said he would go to his safe house during the susceptible period.”

“Yeah.” Cheng Ruoze said while eating, “The susceptible period of the S-class alpha is not a joke, and it even requires air defense-level isolation measures.”

“Then… it should be secured?” Shen Dai knew that many places had special isolation houses rented to alphas to spend the susceptible period, especially for single alphas who had no one to take care of them.

Alphas are dangerous and vulnerable during the susceptible period. The danger is that they will be more aggressive than usual. Their brains were dominated by hormones and desire to reproduce, making them like prehistoric animals. Their rational thinking ability is greatly blunted, and primitive instinct drives their language and behavior. At this time, if there are strangers approaching, they are likely to be violently expelled, and their vulnerability is that their minds will also degenerate. All wisdom will fail, and those who are allowed to enter their territory can easily deceive, exploit and hurt them.

Alphas with family members usually choose to spend the susceptible period at home. As long as they are not stimulated by the outside world, they are locked in the room, combined with calming drugs and moderate comfort, and generally there will be no problems.

But the susceptibility period of the S-class alpha will make everyone, including themselves, facing the enemy. They degenerate into an uncontrolled bioweapon for up to seven days, with lethal attacks on strangers who dare to step into their territory, and those close to them must be guarded. Therefore, many powerful S-class alphas have exclusive and secret safe houses.

Cheng Ruoze doesn’t seem to be worried at all: “Don’t worry. There has never been a problem.”

Shen Dai thought of Qu Chengchen’s winning face and his heart was always uneasy. Qu Chengchen himself was an S-class alpha. Could it be that he didn’t know how safe the safe house was? Why was he so determined then?

Does Qu Chengchen know where Qu Moyu’s safe house is? Not necessarily. If that’s the case, he doesn’t need to ask  himself to cooperate with him. When Qu Moyu is in the susceptible period, he has more means to snatch things away. He was mostly bluffing or using marker as bait. He might want him to be too greedy and agreed to cooperate with him so that he would betray Qu Moyu step by step.

Thinking of this, Shen Dai broke out in a cold sweat. He should have more confidence in Qu Moyu and be cautious about what despicable purpose Qu Chengchen has to use him for.

After dinner, they took the car together to pick up grandma and Shen Qin.

This business car was also used during the first few appointments. At that time, Shen Qin wondered why Shen Dai’s friend was so enthusiastic and thought that Cheng Ruoze was Shen Dai’s suitor. Now, after contacting him, he understood that it was Qu Moyu who arranged everything. He was very enthusiastic about Cheng Ruoze. He kept chatting with Cheng Ruoze on the road, trying to make conversation.

Cheng Ruoze was very smart and smiled perfunctorily.

After the appointment, they sent Shen Dai’s grandmother and Shen Qin home.

Cheng Ruoze smiled and said to Shen Dai, “Actually, today Mr. Qu also asked me to do another job.”

“What job?” Shen Dai asked curiously.

Cheng Ruoze raised his finger and pointed to Shen Dai’s house on the third floor: “The loan for this house, Mr. Qu has paid off all of it for you.”

Shen Dai stared blankly at Cheng Ruoze.

“Line X is our cooperative bank. All the procedures have been prepared there. Do you bring your ID card with you? I’ll take you over just to sign to complete it.”

Shen Dai came back to his senses, but he didn’t know how to react. He held the phone and wanted to call Qu Moyu immediately. Qu Moyu’s kindness to him has piled up higher and higher. From the moment he saved him four years ago, this man is like a light in his life, constantly shining for him. He was very moved. But can he accept this with peace of mind? He already owes Qu Moyu a lot of favors for his grandmother’s treatment.

“I’ll take credit for this. Mr. Qu didn’t know that you took out a loan for this house. You told me about it that day and I told him about it casually. Mr. Qu asked me to do it.” Cheng Ruoze winked his eyes, “Mr. Qu is so kind to you.”

Shen Dai said sincerely: “Assistant Cheng, thank you. You have helped me a lot. But I will discuss this matter with Mr. Qu first.”

“What to discuss?” Cheng Ruoze saw Shen Dai’s concerns, he persuaded with a smile, “the money is all paid for, the bank will not refund it. Shen Gong, no matter what the reason is, you are now husband and wife. Mr. Qu treats you well. It’s also a matter of course, taking care of his own omega is the alpha’s duty, you really don’t have to think about it.”

Shen Dai had an unspeakable sense of happiness in his heart. No matter whether he dared to take Qu Moyu as his alpha or not, at this moment, Qu Moyu’s kindness to him is real. He even boldly thought that maybe, maybe Qu Moyu also liked him. Maybe that’s why he was so gentle to him, he needed him, she let him enter the master bedroom, he helped him with his grandmother’s medical treatment and mortgage repayment for him.

After all, when you love someone, you can’t help being nice to them.
