Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Follow me closely.

Mr. Liu...

Chen Louchen paused his fingertips on the bed sheet, thinking carefully about the things he needed to deal with. The documents for the renovation of the slums had been issued last time, and this time it was a special people's livelihood financing bureau.

He had been dealing with Liu Wenyao for more than half a month, just to use this water conservancy project to get some money from the other party to repair the slum. If he didn't go through this game, all the preparations before would be in vain. Besides, there was no need to be soft-hearted when it came to the money of some corrupt officials.

Chen Louchen leaned against the head of the bed, his other hand gently pressing on the gauze on the side of his waist, which was still slightly warm. In his vague memory, it seemed that Fu Xu had wrapped it bit by bit.

Thinking of Fu Xu, Chen Louchen frowned again, and that inexplicable sense of familiarity surged up again, but was immediately covered by a feeling of disgust.

How could he let an omega touch his wound?

I always feel like the memories of this period of time seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Go." Chen Louchen's voice was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. "Tell Liu Wenyao that I will be there on time."

The secretary quickly agreed, then added, "Then... do we need Adjutant Zong to pick you up?"

"No need. Let him wait for me at the hotel first." Chen Louchen paused, then changed the subject, his tone carrying a subtle hint of probing. "By the way, has anything been different recently?"

The secretary on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding what he meant. "Different? It seems not, it's just... you don't seem to be at the unit that often lately? A lot of the missions were assigned by Adjutant Zong."

Chen Louchen's fingertips tightened slightly, seemingly without affecting the normal work process. "Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Louchen directly dialed Zong Yuan's number. The phone was picked up as soon as it rang. Zong Yuan's voice was a little worried: "Minister, are you awake? Are you feeling better?"

"Not bad." Chen Louchen leaned against the headboard, "Be prepared for the car at three o'clock. Also, have I done anything unusual in the past few days?"

He vaguely guessed that the inhibitor Liao Jiazhi injected him was definitely more than just an inhibitor. Every time his pheromones became disordered, he would have a period of memory loss. It was hard not to suspect that it was Liao Jiazhi's work.

Zong Yuan was silent on the other end of the line for a long moment before he spoke cautiously, "Minister, your attitude towards your wife has changed a lot recently. For the past two weeks, not only have you been returning to the villa every day, but you've also been asking Mr. Fu Xu to stay by your side. Even yesterday... when you came back, your pheromones were disturbed, and you even held onto your wife and wouldn't let go, insisting you wanted to stay home and wouldn't let us take you to the hospital."

Chen Louchen suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

Holding Fu Xu tightly and refusing to let go? And saying he wanted to stay at home?

That's simply not something he would do.

Chen Louchen closed his eyes, leaving only a few fragmented memories.

These images felt unfamiliar to him, as if he was watching someone else's story.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Got it." Shen Louchen's voice was hoarse. After hanging up the phone, Shen Louchen sat on the bed in a daze for a long time.

He admitted that his feelings towards Fu Xu were indeed different. Unlike other omegas, he felt only disgust towards her. Instead, he felt a certain kind of inexplicable emotion. But so what? He hated omegas who "climbed into bed" and hated others who used pheromones or showed weakness to gain his attention. Even if Fu Xu married him, it wouldn't change that.

Chen Louchen got up from the bed and walked to the closet to look for clothes.

There were many suits hanging in the closet, most of them were high-end styles in dark gray and black. In the end, Chen Louchen chose a dark charcoal gray suit. The fabric had an excellent drape, and a dark-patterned silk tie was tied at the collar, the end of which fell just above the wound on the side of the waist, so as not to delay his movements.

After changing his clothes, Shen Louchen walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, and then glanced towards the living room.

Fu Xu was kneeling on the ground, wiping the floor. It was already so bright that it was reflecting light, but Fu Xu was still wiping it again and again.

Chen Louchen felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart. It wasn't disgust, it was more like...

accurate.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, Chen Louchen walked over and stood in front of Fu Xu: "Get up."

Fu Xu withdrew his hand and looked up in panic. Only then did Chen Louchen see Fu Xu's appearance clearly.

Her eyes were still red, as if she had just cried, and her eye sockets were slightly swollen. Her lips still had faint teeth marks from biting them too hard that morning. She was still wearing the same off-white home clothes from last night, with a slightly wrinkled collar, which made her face look even paler.

"Mr. Shen..." Fu Xu's voice was as light as a feather, with a bit of timidity, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Shen Louchen looked at him like this, and his irritability became even worse: "Go out with me today."

Fu Xu was stunned. His eyes suddenly widened and his long eyelashes trembled like frightened butterfly wings. "I... go out with you?"

Mr. Shen was so angry just now and told him to get out.

"What else?" Chen Louchen turned away and deliberately made an excuse, "If you starve to death at home alone, it will be even more troublesome. Besides, in this kind of situation, you have to bring your own omega. We are already married, so there is no need to hide it."

He spoke with confidence, as if he brought Fu Xu with him just to "avoid trouble" and "not cover up."

Fu Xu's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay."

“Ask the housekeeper to prepare clothes for you, don’t wear your own.” After Shen Louchen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

The butler quickly brought a set of clothes to Fu Xu: an off-white silk shirt with light grey trousers. Two buttons of the collar were undone, revealing his slender collarbone. Butler Chen also carefully gave him a thin silver chain with a small moon-shaped pendant, which made his originally pale face look a little more rosy. Fu Xu's hair was soft and fine, and was neatly combed by the butler. It hung by his ears, swaying slightly in the wind, bringing with it a hint of the fragrance of shower gel.

Fu Xu changed his clothes and walked downstairs carefully. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Chen Louchen leaning against the door.

The man's legs were casually crossed, his tall figure was slender, and the custom-made handmade suit made his skin look even colder and whiter. The tie at his collar was tied meticulously, and on his wrist was a black watch, the dial glowing coldly in the morning light. At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, holding an unlit cigarette between his fingers. Under his high nose bridge were sexy thin lips, the lines of his profile were sharp and smooth, and his jawline was very tight, giving him a kind of abstinence beauty.

The sunlight came in from the window behind him, giving him a golden edge, as if making everything around him pale in comparison.

Fu Xu stood on the stairs, looking a little lost in thought.

Until now, he still couldn't believe that he could marry such an outstanding alpha.

Chen Louchen seemed to notice his gaze and looked over. When their eyes met, Fu Xu's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and walked over quickly: "Mr. Chen, I'm fine."

"Yeah." Chen Louchen put away the cigarette, turned around and walked out, "Let's go."

The driver had already parked the car at the door. It was a black sedan with a shiny body that reflected the figures of the two people. Chen Louchen got in the car first and gestured with his eyes for him to sit next to him. Fu Xu hesitated for a moment and followed him in, but tried to stay as far away from him as possible.

"Am I scary?" Chen Louchen asked with a frown.

"No...no." Fu Xu shook his head quickly.

"Come here." Chen Louchen was very frugal with his words.

Fu Xu rubbed it slowly.

“Tsk.”

Hearing Chen Louchen's impatient voice, Fu Xu bit his lip and moved over there again. Chen Louchen stared at Fu Xu until he was only a few centimeters away from him before he retracted his gaze and continued to look at the materials in his hand.

The car was very quiet, with only the sound of the air-conditioning breeze. Fu Xu secretly looked up at Chen Louchen. The man was reading the information very seriously, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. From Fu Xu's perspective, Chen Louchen had very long eyelashes, casting a faint shadow under his eyelids. He had a high nose bridge and thin lips, which were pursed at the moment, with a bit of alienation.

Fu Xu quickly withdrew his gaze, but his heart was beating like a rabbit. This was his first time going out with Mr. Shen, and he just hoped he wouldn't hold Mr. Shen back.

After driving for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the hotel. It was a five-star hotel with two stone lions standing at the door, carved to look lifelike.

Chen Louchen got out of the car first, and Fu Xu followed him, but he didn't see the steps below, his feet felt empty, and he fell straight forward.

"Hmm..." Chen Louchen quickly grabbed Fu Xu's arm, but the alpha was so strong that Fu Xu couldn't help but groan in pain.

Chen Louchen put his other hand around Fu Xu's waist and carried him to the stairs. The omega's thin waist had just grown a little flesh, and although the shape of the bones could still be felt, the omega's delicate skin could be felt through the thin clothes. It was warm and soft, like white porcelain just out of the oven.

"Trouble." Chen Louchen opened his thin lips slightly.

"Sorry, Mr. Shen." Fu Xu rubbed the corner of his clothes awkwardly.

"Pay attention and follow me."

"Okay, Mr. Shen." Fu Xu then nodded quickly and followed Shen Louchen into the hotel.

The lobby was brightly lit. The floor was paved with pure white marble, reflecting the halo of the crystal chandelier above. On both sides of the lobby were several huge celadon vases that looked like antiques.

The waiter led them to the private room. On both sides of the corridor hung ink landscape paintings with vigorous brushstrokes. There were also several pots of green plants next to them, with emerald green leaves and full of vitality. After walking for about two minutes, the waiter pushed open a carved wooden door and bowed, "Minister Shen, General Manager Liu is already waiting for you inside."

Chen Louchen nodded slightly, then walked in. Fu Xu followed behind him, carefully looking inside.

This is a private room in pure Chinese style. It is very large. In the center of the room stands a mahogany round table with a diameter of two meters. Next to the silver tray on the table are neatly arranged blue and white porcelain tableware. Next to the table are pearwood chairs with lotus patterns carved on the back and dark brown leather armrests, which look soft and comfortable.

There were two paintings hanging on the wall. One was a black and white landscape painting that took up the entire wall, and on the other wall was a cursive script. Fu Xu couldn't understand what was written, but he felt that it was magnificent.

At this moment, there were already several people sitting in the room, all of them were alphas in suits, and when they saw Shen Louchen come in, they all stood up and greeted him: "Minister Shen."

Sitting next to the main seat was a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue suit, with a slightly bulging belly and a smile on his face. It was Liu Wenyao.

Seeing Shen Louchen show up, Liu Wenyao immediately stood up and walked over with a flattering smile: "Minister Shen, I heard that you were not feeling well last night. I thought you couldn't come today. It seems that I was worrying too much."
