Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Husband.

Fu Xu's voice sounded soft and helpless, but with this scene, Chen Louchen looked like he was seducing her.

Chen Louchen's breathing almost stopped at that moment. When his eyes fell on Fu Xu, he felt as if burned but couldn't move his eyes away. The omega's exposed waist and abdomen were so slender that they seemed to break if bent. The marks left from the last time were a light pink and purple on the warm white skin, like a few scattered rays of sunlight falling on the snow.

"Take your hands away." Chen Louchen's voice was even hoarseer than usual, and his deliberately stern face was stiff and cold. He reached out and pushed aside Fu Xu's fingers that were clutching his shirt. His fingertips accidentally brushed against the boy's warm palm. That warmth rushed into his heart like an electric current, causing his fingertips to tighten.

The buttons on the shirt were very small. Chen Louchen's fingers had distinct joints, and when he pinched the button and pushed it into the buttonhole, his movements unconsciously became very slow, but his eyes kept glancing at Fu Xu's legs.

"Mr. Chen, um..." Fu Xu's voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum, and his brows were slightly furrowed, obviously in pain. When Chen Louchen buttoned the third button, his fingertips accidentally rubbed the skin below his collarbone, which was more sensitive than other places. He subconsciously shrank back, but his shoulder bumped into Chen Louchen's arm.

Chen Louchen's movements suddenly stopped. When he looked up, there was still a hidden undercurrent in his eyes. Seeing the obscurity in Fu Xu's eyes, he quickly looked away and said in a stern tone: "Don't move, or you will make a mistake and have to start over."

Having said that, he moved even more gently, and when his fingertips touched the boy's skin, he deliberately avoided the marks that had not yet faded.

After finally buttoning up his shirt, Chen Louchen picked up the dress pants and handed them over. Just as he was about to ask Fu Xu to put them on himself, his eyes fell on the boy's legs.

The purple marks there were deeper than those on his waist and abdomen. They were left by him last time when he lost control. The marks of canine teeth were particularly obvious. At this moment, they were glowing dark red in the setting sun, like ink stains on white paper. His fingers seemed to have their own consciousness and touched it lightly.

"Ugh..." Fu Xu's body stiffened instantly. He groaned softly and subconsciously reached out to block it: "Mr. Shen, it hurts..." The skin there had not fully recovered yet. When he touched it like this, the sore and numb pain went up along the nerves, and tears were almost forced out.

Chen Louchen's fingers paused where they were, the warmth of the boy's skin still lingering on his fingertips. That softness tickled his heart like a feather, making him want to touch it a little longer. He wanted to know if the mark still hurt, to know how far he had lost control last time. But his expression remained cold, and when he withdrew his hand, he lightly flicked Fu Xu's knee: "You didn't even bother to tell me you got yourself into this state? You only know how to hide when it hurts?"

Fu Xu lowered his head, clenched the edge of his pants with his fingers, and sighed softly in his heart.

What should he say? He couldn't tell Mr. Shen that these marks were left by him that night, but he himself had forgotten them.

He could only nod obediently and whispered, "I understand. I'll tell you next time." Then he quickly raised his legs and put them into his pants, his movements flustered as if he was afraid that Chen Louchen would ask more questions.

Looking at his clumsy appearance, Chen Louchen couldn't help but reach out and help him pull his trouser legs to his ankles.

The waistline of the dress pants was just right, making the boy's waist look even thinner. His straight legs made his already well-proportioned figure even more attractive.

Chen Louchen picked up the belt and walked around it. When his fingers passed through the belt buckle, his eyes fell on Fu Xu and he was suddenly stunned.

The young man was wearing a white suit, the collar of which made his neck look long and slender. There was still a hint of blush on his face, and his eyes were clear. His whole body seemed to be bathed in moonlight, so exquisite that it was impossible to look away.

Why hadn’t he noticed before that Fu Xu looked a little...good-looking in formal attire?

"Okay, get out of the car." Chen Louchen quickly looked away and fastened his belt. The car just stopped. When he pushed open the door, Chen Louchen deliberately got out of the car first to avoid the opportunity to look at Fu Xu.

Fu Xu got out of the car and followed Sanchen Louchen into the banquet hall.

Inside the hall, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, reflecting brilliant light. Waiters in formal attire stood at the door. Walking inside was a red-carpeted corridor, from which one could faintly hear the sounds of music and laughter. He followed Chen Louchen inside, feeling a little nervous, his fingers gripping Chen Louchen's sleeves tightening slightly.

"Follow me." Chen Louchen turned his head and said softly, reaching out to push the loose hair on Fu Xu's temples behind his ears. His fingertips touched the boy's warm earlobe. Seeing that his ears turned red instantly, he quickly withdrew his hand and took two steps forward, keeping a distance from him.

The banquet hall was bustling with activity. Everyone was wearing exquisite gowns, holding champagne glasses in their hands, and standing in groups of three or four chatting.

As soon as Shen Louchen walked in, he was greeted by a man in a black suit. He was smiling and looked very cheerful: "Louchen, you are finally here. I thought you were going to be late." His eyes fell on Fu Xu and he raised his eyebrows. "Who is this?"

"Fu Xu, my omega." Chen Louchen introduced Fu Xu concisely, without any intention of avoiding Fu Xu's identity.

The man raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Xu, almost unable to react. Low-quality omega? Chen Louchen admitted it just like that? The old man had found him all kinds of S-class omegas before, so why did he finally choose such an unknown omega?

Then the man smiled and politely extended his hand to Fu Xu: "Hello, my name is Pang Yutang."

Fu Xu quickly returned the handshake and whispered, "Hello, my name is Fu Xu." Then he quickly retracted his hand and hid behind Chen Louchen.

"Xiao Xu!" Gu Wangyan came over from not far away and spotted Fu Xu in the crowd at a glance. He hurried over and asked, "How are you doing lately?"

"Very, very good." Fu Xu answered politely.

"That's good." Gu Wangyan took Fu Xu's hand and said to Chen Louchen as they walked, "Lend me your omega first, don't be so strict."

Chen Louchen nodded slightly in agreement, and followed them with his eyes until Gu Wangyan and Fu Xu sat down at the table beside them. After confirming that they were within his sight and he could clearly see Fu Xu's movements with his peripheral vision, he turned around and took care of Lin Yunzhou who was walking over.

"Lou Chen, Jiang Fenggu has confessed. The location of the alien species gathering place is an abandoned factory in the western suburbs. We have sent people to investigate and confirmed that there are at least fifty alien species inside." Lin Yunzhou handed the folder to Chen Louchen and lowered his voice. "And there's also the matter of the Fu family. They have been very active recently. It seems that they are contacting organizations outside the country and plan to sell the alien species samples they have."

Chen Louchen flipped open the folder and his eyes fell on the information on it. His eyes instantly turned cold. "Very good. Since they don't want to live, don't blame me for being rude." He tapped his fingers on the words "Fu Family" on the information. "Let's take down the Fu Family together this time to avoid trouble in the future. Continue to interrogate Jiang Fenggu and see if we can dig out more clues."

"Understood." Lin Yunzhou nodded and glanced in Fu Xu's direction. "As for Fu Xu...how are you going to explain this to the old man?"

Chen Louchen smiled contemptuously: "Let him go for a while, and when this matter is handled, it's time to deal with him."

——

On the other side, Gu Wangyan pulled Fu Xu to sit down at the gambling table and said with a smile, "Come, I'll show you something interesting."

Fu Xu followed him to the gambling table and looked at the green tablecloth covered with a pile of chips and several decks of playing cards. He felt a little panicked. He had never played this before and didn't even know the rules.

"Don't be nervous, it's very simple. It's just a comparison. Whoever has the bigger card wins, and the winner gets the chips." An omega in a pink dress said with a smile. She was very beautiful, with big eyes, and spoke with a hint of sweetness. "My name is Su Man, nice to meet you."

Su Man picked up a deck of playing cards and briefly explained the rules to Fu Xu, such as a straight flush is bigger than a four of a kind, a four of a kind is bigger than a flush, and the order of the size of various types of cards.

Fu Xu was confused and didn't fully understand what he was saying. Su Man had already dealt the cards and said with a smile, "It's okay. You'll get the hang of it after a few rounds. Come on, try it first."

Fu Xu looked at the cards in his hand. There was a 5, a 7, a 9, a J, and a Q. There was no pattern of cards, and he didn't know what to compare.

The man opposite was holding a card starting with K and said with a smile, "Sorry, I won." Then he pulled a few chips in front of Fu Xu over.

Having lost the first round, Fu Xu felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. Su Man patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's like this at the beginning. You will definitely win the next one."

But in the next few rounds, Fu Xu kept losing. He couldn't remember the size of the cards at all, but he vaguely figured out some rules. After a while, most of the chips in front of him were gone, leaving only a few.

Fu Xu felt a little panicked. He held the cards in his hand, and his fingertips were shaking slightly.

Another omega in a blue suit came over and said teasingly, "Handsome boy, if you keep losing, you're screwed. Do you know how much these chips are worth? One chip is worth a million."

"One...one million?" Fu Xu's eyes widened instantly, and the cards in his hand almost fell on the table.

He had thought these chips were just for playing, but he hadn't expected them to be so expensive. The few chips left in front of him only added up to a few, but he had already lost more than a dozen. That was over 10 million? He couldn't afford it!

Fu Xu's face turned pale in an instant, cold sweat broke out on his palms, and he looked in the direction of Chen Louchen.

Chen Louchen was standing and talking with Lin Yunzhou, his profile was cold and hard, and it was unknown what important matter they were discussing.

He didn't dare to go over and disturb them, so he could only bite his lips and clench the tablecloth tightly with his fingers, feeling panicked and scared.

Gu Wangyan noticed his nervousness, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, it's just for fun. It's okay if you lose, I'll help you pay for it."

But Fu Xu was still panicking. He knew Gu Wangyan meant well, but how could he let others pay for so much money?

Fu Xu lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously scratching the tablecloth.

Just then, he felt someone patting him gently on the back.

Fu Xu turned around abruptly and saw Chen Louchen and Pang Yutang standing behind him. Chen Louchen's eyes fell on the chips in front of him, and his brows knitted slightly. "What's wrong?"

Fu Xu hesitated about what to say.

Su Man next to him spoke first, her pheromones overflowing, and the sweet smell of strawberry milk spread out: "Hubby, how about you give me another 10 million?"

Pang Yutang didn't want to make things look too awkward in this situation, so he said calmly, "I'll ask my assistant to get it for you later."

"Thank you, husband~" Su Man put her finger on her lips and blew a kiss to Pang Yutang.

Fu Xu's eyes widened involuntarily. Ten million... was that just ten million? When he was at the Fu family's house, he had even been beaten for soiling a five-dollar bill belonging to Fu Jiaze while cleaning. With no medicine available, he nearly died that rainy night.

But here, ten million is nothing without even blinking an eye.

This was the first time that Fu Xu clearly realized the gap between him and Mr. Shen. Grandpa Liao was right, he was not worthy.

Fu Xu blinked and looked back at Chen Louchen. Chen Louchen had no intention of helping him. Instead, he looked at Pang Yutang gloomily, then shifted his gaze to Fu Xu with a gloomy expression, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Fu Xu thought of what Chen Louchen had told him two days ago, Madam Chen...could he also take this opportunity to give it a try?

Chen Louchen took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the gambling table, he put the champagne in his hand on the table, turned to look at Gu Wangyan: "Why did you let him play this?"

"You wouldn't care about such a small amount of money, right? Minister Shen?" Gu Wangyan teased, then turned his head to Fu Xu, "How about you follow Manman's example and ask Mr. Shen to help you?"

Fu Xu looked up at Chen Louchen, only to see Chen Louchen looking at him leisurely.

Chen Louchen also looked at Fu Xu.

Originally, he thought that if this omega liked it, then let him have fun. Going with the flow wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Moreover, he discovered last night that his glands were filled with a lot of pheromones, which should be the credit of this omega. If he could compensate this omega with money alone, then that would be fine.

An alliance that can be linked to interests is the most solid.

But… he was very curious whether this timid omega had thought carefully about what he had taught him.

Fu Xu lowered his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

Chen Louchen's patience has been exhausted. He must be crazy to waste time here with an omgea.

Just as Chen Louchen was about to leave, Fu Xu suddenly grabbed the corner of Chen Louchen's clothes, then hooked Chen Louchen's fingers upwards, his eyes piercing, his voice low and grounded, yet even more lingering and seductive: "Husband...can you, help me?"

With a "buzz", something seemed to explode in Shen Louchen's mind. He had originally expected Fu Xu to beg him, but he didn't expect Fu Xu to call him like that.

Fu Xu is his omega, so it’s actually correct to call him that, but he has always been called “Mr. Chen”, and he is used to it, and he has never thought about really being anyone’s alpha.

The eyes of others also shifted here, and Pang Yutang couldn't help but look at Chen Louchen. Normally, this guy hated omegas to death. Last time he heard that Mr. Liao had successfully sent an omega, he was curious. He didn't expect this omega to be so bold. He remembered that Chen Louchen had cleaned up a lot of such people before. Could it be that he was going to massacre their family today?

"Yeah." Chen Louchen's breathing gradually became heavier, and he responded as if possessed by a ghost. His body seemed to be out of control. He picked up Fu Xu and sat down himself, then held Fu Xu on his lap. "I'll help you. How are you going to repay me?"
