​​Shen Dai asked bloodily, “Why are you such a person?”

If he had known Qu Moyu’s true colours earlier, would he have loved such a person?

The pupil crystal washed by tears is as clean and clear as a mirror, which can reflect all the filth and unbearableness. Under such gaze, Qu Moyu felt a burst of embarrassment. He had looked through these eyes countless times. Having been in love, adoration, dependence and emotion, instead of being disappointed, how could Shen Dai look at him like this?

The more pressure he feels, the more Qu Moyu’s self-defence mechanism is activated. He will instinctively regard all the things that make him uncomfortable as him being ‘attacked’. And then, he will ‘counterattack’. He held Shen Dai’s narrow and thin jaw and said coldly: “I’ve made it clear what I should say. I’ll ask you again, do you want to be obedient or not?”

Shen Dai looked at him with tears in his eyes: “I want to keep my child.” He emphasised the word ‘my’. This caused Qu Moyu to feel like his heart was slashed by a knife. The separation between them became even more prominent. If he is wiser, Qu Moyu understands that if he doesn’t want this child, he doesn’t deserve to be a father. So this child is only Shen Dai’s.

Qu Moyu said sharply: “What do you want? You can ask for whatever. My tolerance is limited.”

Shen Dai bit her lip. He was fragile and firm: “I just want to keep my child.”

Qu Moyu squinted his eyes. A trace of cruelty flashed across his expression: “Shen Dai, don’t test my bottom line.”

Shen Dai forced himself to look directly at him.

In the next instant, Shen Dai’s legs became weak. His body fell straight to the ground. An invisible mountain of pressure fell on him. The bone-piercing cold penetrated into his body. Shen Dai only felt like his body was pierced by countless needles. That feeling was not called pain. But it was uncomfortable and disgusting to the extreme. His face was pale. He had difficulty breathing, his face was contorted with unspeakable pain and this morbid torture was driving him crazy!

Qu Moyu literally used pheromone suppression on him!

He has only suffered two aggressive pheromone suppressions in his life. And both times came from someone he likes. The first time was when Qu Moyu was forced to enter a susceptible period, unable to control himself. But this time, it was not intentional. Qu Moyu used pheromone suppression on him in a fully sober state.

Alphas have unquestionable authority over the omegas they mark and omegas can hardly defy their own alphas both physically and psychologically. Any alpha, even if they are the weakest in physical fitness and social competition, can still mark them on their own. In front of his omega, he has an absolute advantage. The pheromone that is insignificant to others is very effective for his own omega. Moreover, Qu Moyu is a n S-class alpha. He wants to deal with Shen Dai without any extra effort.

The use of pheromone suppression on their own omega is a despicable act that will be condemned. And if it causes serious trauma, it is a crime. But alphas rarely give up this way of ‘disciplining’ their omega, because it is very energy-saving and effective.

Shen Dai slowly curled up, tears streaming down his face. His face was full of fear and despair. The man who looked down on him coldly, his alpha, used pheromone suppression on him while he was pregnant, just to force him to kill their child! Compared with the huge mental pressure, Shen Dai really realised what the pain called a broken liver and intestines is like. He couldn’t take it anymore. He couldn’t hold it back anymore. He covered his abdomen with one hand and grabbed the leg of Qu Moyu’s trousers with the other, crying and begging: ” I beg you… at the end of the day…”

The fragile appearance was like a heavy hammer hitting Qu Moyu’s heart. In just a few seconds, it was also a torment for him. He put away the pheromone suppression and watched Shen Dai collapse to the ground. His eyes were red from crying. After struggling several times, he still couldn’t help squatting down and hugged Shen Dai into his arms.

Qu Moyu let Shen Dai sit on his lap as he did countless times before. Since he sobered up from the susceptible period, the two of them have never had any intimacy. He smelled the light ephemeral fragrance in his nose and he realised it. He was in truth, frightened by how much he longed for this person.

The two people who have been marked have smelled each other’s pheromones. Such hugs will only make them feel truly and deeply that the other person has become one with themselves. However, even if the marking can change the physiology of two people, the future, after all, is unpredictable.

Qu Moyu gently wiped away Shen Dai’s tears with his fingertips and said softly, “I’ve told you not to test my bottom line. This is just a little punishment. I like obedient omegas, you always know that.”

Shen Dai’s soft body was almost unable to move. He leaned against Qu Moyu’s arms and trembled slightly. He no longer felt that this embrace was generous and warm. It was the most reliable harbour in his life. Besides, people like Qu Moyu, who is like a beast, could tear him into shreds at any time.

“Since I was born, I have had many choices and trade-offs that I have to make. And I don’t expect you to understand.” Qu Moyu lowered his head and kissed Shen Dai’s hair lightly. “Omegas are easily emotional. You are very smart. Why do you still keep being stupid? But I don’t blame you anymore. No matter what you have done in the past, as long as you are obedient in the future, I will give you the best material life and the greatest support for your career. In the future, if you want to ask for a child, I’ll give it to you. But not now.”

Shen Dai raised his head stiffly.

“Don’t go to Gansu. Stay with me. I’ll give you a house near the company. I’ll visit you often.”

Shen Dai looked at Qu Moyu quietly. When his heart was already full of holes, he couldn’t find another place for a knife to make a new cut. He murmured, “Do you mean to want me to be your lover?” He will watch Qu Moyu marry someone else and have children and he will become a shady third party?

Qu Moyu looked calm: “Ah Dai, you have a poor background and a low pheromone level. If you give up on some unrealistic fantasies, you can think about this. I will treat you better than before. And you will have my child in the future. No matter what gender or pheromone level he is. I will give you the best life. I have never made any promises to any omega in my life, you can trust me.”

In Shen Dai’s vision, Qu Moyu’s face has become more and more blurred. He believes that what Qu Moyu said is true, but he can’t believe that he will hear such words coming from his alpha. The one he really loved will take him as a mistress as a gift for him.

Shen Dai slowly pushed Qu Moyu away with all his strength and stood up staggeringly. His eyes were red, but they were so dry that he could not shed any more tears. He calmly asked, “Since you are willing to give me a child, why can’t it be this one? Is it because you’re going to marry someone else?”

“Yes. I will not mark him. But at least the sincerity of cooperation must be there.”

Qu Moyu’s tone really seems to be talking about business instead of his own marriage. It seems that in the eyes of this S-class alpha, everything in the world is about business. Everyone and everything can be clearly marked with a price.

“He… he is an S-class omega with a prominent family background and can help me.”

“Right.”

“Is it You Baiyue?”

“Of course not.”

Shen Dai opened his mouth and spit out the heart-wrenching question: “Do you like him?”

Qu Moyu showed a trace of impatience with this question.

“… ‘Like’ is not important to me. I won’t ‘like’ anyone.”

Qu Moyu lightly tapped his temple with his fingertips. He stared at Shen Dai, who was wearing thin clothes and seemed to be swaying and might fall at any time. He suddenly realised how his omega had lost so much weight. He then said: “Not really, I think…” When the words came to his mouth, he was suddenly inexplicably nervous. He didn’t even want to say it, but if he didn’t say it, it seemed that he didn’t really care so he continued calmly, “I… I think I like you. You are different from everyone else.”

Shen Dai actually didn’t respond to the words he had longed for for a long time. Because that ‘like’ is not what he wants. It’s not what any normal person understands. So instead, he smiled. His eyes were empty as if his soul had been taken away and he shook his head: “You are wrong. You don’t like me.”

Qu Moyu frowned slightly.

No one will force someone they like to divorce, wash off their marks, and knock out their child. And no one will turn around to marry someone else and turn someone they like into a lowly mistress.

No one would do this to someone they like.

Qu Moyu adjusted his breathing and said warmly, “Ah Dai, stop making trouble. We will solve this matter and we can still be the same as before.”

Shen Dai just looked at Qu Moyu quietly.

Qu Moyu was flustered by the look in his eyes that seemed to be wandering, and seemed to be able to peek into the depths of his soul. He stood up: “I’ll give you three days to calm down.” He turned and walked towards the door.

“Qu Moyu.” Shen Dai whispered behind him.

Qu Moyu only felt that his heart was being grabbed. He stopped and turned around.

Shen Dai’s eyes carefully traced Qu Moyu’s face, as if trying to see clearly, or trying his best to remember. He then said softly, “You are a person without feelings.”

Qu Moyu looked contemptuous and noncommittal: “If I don’t have feelings, then that means I don’t need it.”​​​​
