When Shen Dai returned to the room, he found that Qiuqiu was awake and was interacting with Mrs. Qu. It was almost impossible for Qiuqiu to be so calm when he was alone with strangers. But in Madam Qu’s arms, he seemed to feel very secure. It made Shen Dai realise the power of blood relation.

Mrs. Qu was full of smiles: “Look. He is very close to me and he smiles at me.”

Shen Dai’s mood hadn’t been adjusted yet but he still forced a smile: “Yes.”

Seeing his pale face, Mrs. Qu asked cautiously, “Did you two have a good talk?”

“How did you know we talked?” Shen Dai sat beside the bed, “I mean, what did he tell you?”

Mrs. Qu said: “After he came back from Lancheng, he entered the susceptible period. When he was in the susceptible period, he missed you very much.” Qu Moyu’s reaction during the susceptible period made her feel that her son really liked Shen Dai. It would be the best result if they could reunite as a family of three. “After the susceptible period, he wanted to go to Lancheng to find you, but when he found out that you were back in the capital, he asked me if I wanted to meet Qiuqiu.”

Shen Dai thought to himself that it’s sure enough. How could someone like Qu Moyu come to him with a low profile and apologise to him? The ‘mark’ used to have an impact on both body and mind. Even if the ‘mark’ disappeared, there would still be side effects. The injury on his body made him only reject Qu Moyu. Meanwhile, during the susceptible period, Qu Moyu would be amplified by his emotions and desires of the time they spent together.

It seems that Qu Moyu really ‘likes’ him. He would like him to become a convenient lover like before.

Mrs. Qu couldn’t understand Shen Dai’s silence so she tentatively said, “He said that you came back this time to resign. Do you really plan to stay in Lancheng?”

“I have already found a good job in Lancheng and my life is stable.” Originally, Shen Dai was still weighing and hesitating. But today, Qu Moyu’s attitude made him firmly want to stay away.

Mrs. Qu glanced at Qiuqiu in her arms and hesitated, unable to hide her disappointment.

Shen Dai saw that Mrs. Qu was reluctant to be separated from Qiuqiu. He felt a little regretful in his heart: “My grandmother wants to stay here so I will come back every once in a while. If you want to see Qiuqiu, you can also come to Lancheng to see us.”

Mrs. Qu nodded sadly: “When will you go back? Can I see Qiuqiu before you leave?”

“I’m waiting for the resignation process to finish. I should stay for a few more days. If it’s convenient for you, you can find me at my hotel.”

“Why don’t you just stay here? This apartment is under my name. You’ll have everything here. I can get baby supplies for you right away.”

Shen Dai politely declined: “Thank you. but I’ll just stay at the hotel.”

That night, Shen Dai returned to the hotel in Madam Qu’s car. On this day, he was busy from morning to night. And he also had faced a ‘confrontation’ with Qu Moyu. After feeding Qiuqiu to sleep, he was already physically and mentally exhausted. But he still couldn’t fall asleep.

He always felt that Qu Moyu would not let it go. He just hoped to finish what he had to do quickly and return to Lancheng as soon as possible. It is so that he will not have too many things to think about at night.

The next morning, Shen Dai received a phone call from HR, informing him that there was a problem with the resignation procedure. His long sick leave must be supported by a hospital’s case. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a long-term absence from work and he could not leave the job normally. His minimum wage and social security can also be affected.

Shen Dai explained: “My sick leave was approved from the beginning.”

“Yes, but it is not in line with the process and the company’s regulations.” HR said in a formulaic tone, “The leader who gave you special approval violated the company’s rules and will be punished in response. You also need to prove your sick leave with a supported document.”

Shen Dai only felt that his blood was rising for a while. He knew that this must be done by Qu Moyu. Isn’t Qu Moyu himself the leader who gave him special approval? What kind of punishment can the personnel department impose on the person who is in control of the shareholder of the company? Deducti his wage?? He suppressed his anger and said, “What if I can’t provide the supporting document? Since my leave has been approved, it should take effect.”

“This sick leave does not comply with the company’s regulations. It is against the procedures and regulations. If you have any objection, I suggest you go to labour arbitration.”

After he hung up the phone, Shen Dai’s eyes were red with anger. His sick leave was specially approved by the CEO. Of course he has a reason, but now the company does not recognize it. If he wants his ‘reason’ to be approved, he can only apply for arbitration. He doesn’t have the energy and time to deal with this. But if he is considered to be absent from work during his contract period, there will be a major blemish on his resume. The return of the basic salary for the year is a small matter. If the company deliberately makes things difficult when transferring his social security, it will be even more troublesome.

When he went to resign yesterday, the personnel department didn’t have any questions about this at all. Their attitude today has changed greatly. It can only be done by Qu Moyu. Otherwise, which employee would dare to say that Qu Moyu violated the company’s rules?

He didn’t expect Qu Moyu to do such a despicable thing. Why did this person hurt him again and again and still refuse to let him go?!

Holding the phone tightly, he called Qu Moyu.

Before the first ring of the phone was over, it was already connected. Qu Moyu’s deep voice came from the microphone: “Ah Dai.”

“What else do you want to do?” Shen Dai asked coldly.

“I’ve told you that I will not accept your resignation or transfer.” Qu Moyu sighed lightly, “Ah Dai, don’t go to Lancheng. Stay here. Stay by my side.”

Shen Dai glanced at the innocent little baby on the bed and clenched his fists: “Mr. Qu, please let me go.”

“If you change your ideals on some things, your decision can be changed.” Qu Moyu’s tone was so calm that it was frightening. “You are engaged in scientific research, so you should know how to be flexible. Don’t be so stubborn, okay?”

“As you said, we are not the same. I have the life I want to live.”

Qu Moyu was silent for a while: “Think about Qiuqiu. He needs his real alpha father, the best growth environment and the best education. He will even have more room for potential in the future. What you can give him is limited when he could have gotten a lot more.” Qu Moyu picked up Qiuqiu’s medical record book that had been on his desk and flipped through it. Every word on it had a different kind of meaning to him. He felt the warmth because the book had recorded the progress of a child belonging to him and Shen Dai.

“Everyone has their own destiny. He may not have very advantageous conditions, but I will not provide him any less. How much he will get in the end depends on himself. Besides…” Shen Dai gritted his teeth, “He originally didn’t even have a chance to be born. Don’t you forget that you didn’t want him in the first place.”

Qu Moyu’s heart clenched hard and he said solemnly: “I regret it, I admit. I want him. And I want you too. Qiuqiu is our child, no matter what gender or pheromone level he is. I will give him the best.” When he turned to the next page, he found that the column for pheromone level was empty.

How could it be empty? Is there an error in the system entry? He thought to himself.

Shen Dai took a deep breath as his voice trembled slightly: “He doesn’t need it. No need.” His child does not need a ruthless alpha father nor does he need an education method that puts interests first before anything else. And his child does not need to be privileged or wealthy. He just needs to grow up to be a kind and normal person.

Qu Moyu’s eyes became more and more gloomy: “Ah Dai, you are trapped in emotions right now. That’s why you’re resisting me and my good intentions. Why don’t you calm down for a few days and consider my suggestions carefully? Think about the benefits for you and the benefits for Qiuqiu. Our family will be happy together.”

Shen Dai hung up the phone. He didn’t want to listen to any more hypocritical and sharp words from Qu Moyu’s mouth. The worst thing he had done in his life was to fall in love with Qu Moyu and believed that he could impress someone with his emotions. A person without emotion will never make the same mistake.

Shen Dai told Liu Xi and Cheng Zimei about the resignation issue. Liu Xi was also very angry, but he could not do anything. The three studied for a long time but they still couldn’t come up with a good solution for a while. Liu Xi planned to ask a friend to go to the personnel department to ask about the situation.

Shen Dai was very anxious. He was afraid of what Qu Moyu would do and he was even more anxious about not knowing when these things would be resolved. If he spent a day here, he would have to pay an extra day for the hotel. If he was alone, he would definitely find himself a cheap little hotel to stay at but he has Qiuqiu with him so he had to stay somewhere decent.

Cheng Zimei discovered his embarrassment in time and asked him to live in her own house. With the help of her parents, she had bought a single apartment. Although it is small, it is very warmly furnished.

Shen Dai was under pressure and had no choice but to be the one who caused trouble for others. Cheng Zimei has been late and leaving early these days, just to help him take care of the child for a while. It makes him feel both moved and embarrassed.

At the same time, he watched Cheng Zimei wearing a white lab coat that she didn’t have time to change after work, entering the house in a turbulent manner, and complaining about her work casually. He seemed to see his past life when he was busy but it was fulfilling. His heart was full of envy and sorrow.

Liu Xi’s friend quickly gave feedback – there was no news. The personnel department kept silent about it. That alone explained a lot of things.

Shen Dai was so angry that he couldn’t eat. He knew that Qu Moyu was waiting for him to bow down his head, but he would never accept the ‘flexibility’ that Qu Moyu was referring to. He seriously thought about the worst outcome. And that is to be dismissed from work which will leave a blemish on his resume. But Bai Xiangwan has promised to give the work to him and even if the minimum wage for a year is not that much, he will still take it. If there is a problem with social security, he will have to make up for it for one year. All these difficulties can be overcome. He has climbed out of the deepest abyss and he will not fall down again here.

After making up his mind, he called the personnel department and said that he could not provide the supporting medical documents. He would also return the salary he received during the sick leave. He accepted this penalty. As long as he could get away from Qu Moyu as soon as possible and start a new life.
