Chapter 25 Cannon Fodder Ex-Boyfriend 25 The puppy's fur stood on end, the puppy was wronged...

ha?

When Li Qingran was pinned against the door by Gu Shiyu, with one knee between his legs, receiving the onslaught of pheromones from the other, he was so angry he almost laughed.

What are you doing here again?!

Are there really no main characters in this world who can follow the plot of the book? Are they all so rebellious? Of course, Li Qingran doesn't deny that he has been quietly guiding Jiang Siran and Su Jingyi's meeting, but this has nothing to do with Gu Shiyu, and he doesn't have any scenes now. Can't he just behave himself and be a silent observer like him?!

Moreover, even if Li Qingran were to concede that Gu Shiyu is, after all, an Alpha, and it's normal for him to be affected by Omega pheromones, why would he go and get involved with the two people in the room instead of pinning an Alpha against the wall?

Li Qingran neither wanted to understand nor respect.

Gu Shiyu in front of her seemed to have lost all reason due to the pheromones of an Omega. His originally deep black eyes were covered with a layer of hazy mist, and a damp heat appeared on his handsome pale face, just like the red wine aroma that wafted towards Li Qingran.

Li Qingran frowned. His stomach was feeling extremely uncomfortable due to the attack of Alph. He felt nauseous, but nothing came out.

His brain felt like it had been thrown into a blender, producing a strong sense of dizziness. At the same time, his rationality was completely shattered by the cold metal equipment. Violence, fighting spirit, and a series of Alpha instincts made him unable to control his urge to attack Gu Shiyu.

The rich aroma of wine in the air grew stronger, making one feel as if they were in an ancient wine cellar. Even before actually drinking any wine, one was already vaguely intoxicated.

What he did was actually quite foolish, because an Alpha's pheromones are meant to seduce and attract an Omega, but for an Alpha of the same sex, they can only be a provocation and an attack.

As Gu Shiyu thought this, he still uncontrollably released pheromones in all directions. Those wisps of scent, imbued with the aroma of red wine, seemed like tentacles reaching out to Li Qingran, wrapping around his wrists, ankles, long legs, narrow waist, and even his fragile neck...

As if testing, or perhaps proving something, the Alpha's pheromones, like suction cups, left red marks on the handsome young man's exposed, fair skin.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Shiyu suddenly whispered in Li Qingran's ear, his voice sounding quite lucid. However, before Li Qingran could react, his voice suddenly became unsteady, and he once again fell into the state influenced by the Omeg hormones.

"I feel terrible... I feel so terrible..."

The icy aura that had always clung to others was finally released from his glands for him, like a long-awaited blizzard. While Gu Shiyu was overjoyed, he also felt pain and suffocation due to the intensity of the blizzard.

Gu Shiyu felt every inch of his skin throbbing with pain from Li Qingran's pheromones. This physiological reaction made him want to loosen his grip on the Alpha's wrist, but his increasingly excited mind and his rapidly beating heart were pulling him back, making him reluctant to let go...

The nausea caused by the mutual repulsion among Alphas was still clearly present in his body, but even so, he still wanted to feel more of the icy atmosphere.

Is he sick?

Or did she start acting strangely after witnessing Jiang Siran and Li Qingran's intimate contact?

Will Li Qingran feel the same way about him?

Did he choose to leave Su Jingyi and be with Jiang Siran, an Alpha, because he liked this feeling?

He simply likes Alphas, right? It has absolutely nothing to do with whether this Alpha is Jiang Siran or not, right?!

Gu Shiyu's throat became uncontrollably dry, and as her Adam's apple bobbed up and down, her mind became even more confused.

Gu Shiyu tried hard to figure out the reason why he always had abnormal emotions and reactions when facing Li Qingran, whether it was just now, when he was talking to Li Qingran, or even further back in time.

He wanted to get rid of Su Jingyi, a threatening factor in their marriage, because he wanted to get engaged to her. However, as she was about to leave, he unconsciously called her back, telling her that she could contact him anytime and seek his help anytime.

You might feel joy at a casually sent photo, or become instantly anxious when the other person is in trouble. Even simple information from the other person can trigger a jumble of chaotic thoughts.

What happened to him?!

Gu Shiyu's breathing became more and more rapid, and the burning heat in his blood almost made him ignite.

Alphas cannot be together!

How could two Alphas possibly be together?!

Can two Alphas really be together?

Gu Shiyu unconsciously looked up at Li Qingran.

The handsome, slender Alpha frowned slightly, and his gray, glass-bead-like eyes were also filled with heavy moisture. The blush that had appeared on his face when he was with Jiang Siran was now back, even more pronounced than before. He looked extremely uncomfortable, his slender, white fingers clenched tightly together, and his head was slightly turned to the side, as if he was very averse to Jiang Siran's approach.

But for some reason, he did not attack him.

Is it because they don't want things to become more complicated?

Or is it simply that you don't want to attack him?

Gu Shiyu bit his tongue; the pain brought him back to his senses and made the redness in the corners of his eyes even more pronounced.

He really wanted to ask Li Qingran whether, at the moment he suppressed his aggressive urges, Jiang Siran, Su Jingyi, or... him, was the person who came to mind.

Could it be him?

Gu Shiyu wanted to know, yet also didn't want to know.

For the first time, Alpha, who always only looks at the results and not the process, felt an urge not to ask about the outcome.

Since he was the one intimately close to Li Qingran at the moment, and the one exchanging pheromones with him, why didn't he make good use of this time alone with the two of them and let the Alpha's gaze fall on him a little longer?

It doesn't matter who Alpha is thinking about; what matters is who he's with right now.

Gu Shiyu didn't want to dwell on it anymore. He gripped Li Qingran's hand tightly and turned to kiss her.

However, at that moment, with a barely perceptible "snap" sound, the pressure he felt when he pressed Li Qingran against the door suddenly disappeared. As he watched, the door, which had been tightly closed, opened a crack. Gu Shiyu's eyes widened, and he subconsciously straightened up, trying to pull the Alpha who was falling backward.

The next second, Alpha fell into an unexpected embrace.

Jiang Siran still carried a strong Omeg aura, and blood was still dripping from the back of his right hand that was holding Li Qingran. But he seemed not to feel it. His dark green eyes gleamed with an uncontrolled cold light, like a venomous tongue hovering in the air, baring its fierce fangs at him.

"You should leave." Only Jiang Siran's cold voice echoed in the silent space.

Gu Shiyu subconsciously looked at Li Qingran, but the latter's gaze was no longer on him.

As far as the eye could see, the slender Alpha was slightly turned to the side. The collar of his clothes had slipped down because Gu Shiyu was pulling on it, revealing a section of his fair shoulder and his thin yet deep collarbone, which became more and more obvious as he turned to the side.

He scrutinized Jiang Siran, seemingly examining his body, while his mouth opened and closed. Gu Shiyu couldn't hear clearly, but could only vaguely discern from his lips whether Jiang Siran had marked Su Jingyi.

"I'll tell you about that later." Jiang Siran pursed her lips and replied in a low voice, then looked up at Gu Shiyu again, her voice many times colder than when she had faced Li Qingran.

"Can you let go now? Your fiancé is still lying inside."

"I'm sorry, we're not engaged yet."

Perhaps at first, Gu Shiyu had considered whether to let go, but after Jiang Siran said that, he suddenly didn't want to let go anymore.

"So strictly speaking, he's not my fiancé yet, which means that in this room, the person closest to Su Jingyi is the Alpha you're currently holding."

"Shouldn't you let go? Do you really enjoy grabbing other people's boyfriends?" Gu Shiyu retorted.

"You son of a bitch—"

Jiang Siran was furious at Gu Shiyu's shameless words. His emotions were already unstable, and if Li Qingran hadn't been there, Jiang Siran was sure that Gu Shiyu's face would have made intimate contact with his fist the moment the door opened.

He forced himself to calm down and said coldly:

"Then shouldn't you let go? Even if Su Jingyi isn't your fiancé, he's still your good friend, right? Why are you holding onto your good friend's boyfriend?!"

"So you can get him out of your sight," Gu Shiyu shrugged, her dark eyes filled with provocation as she looked at Jiang Siran.

"Otherwise, what do you think Su Jingyi and I are doing here? To see what kind of shabby place you live in?"

"Gu Shiyu! Do you really have to—"

Before Jiang Siran could even let go of Gu Shiyu's hand and stride aggressively towards her, Li Qingran grabbed his arm. His tense muscles instantly relaxed, and the vicious dog that was about to attack stopped in its tracks.

"Call the doctor over first," Li Qingran said to Jiang Siran, then turned to look at Gu Shiyu.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

He just wanted to see if Jiang Siran would become addicted to Su Jingyi's pheromones uncontrollably, like in the story. He had no intention of leaving the Omega there unattended and letting him fend for himself.

After all, they had spent so much time together, and as a key figure in supporting the world, Su Jingyi couldn't just leave work like that.

He hasn't gotten off work yet.

Thinking this, Li Qingran broke free from Gu Shiyu's grasp and released Jiang Siran's arm with his other hand. After the medical staff hurriedly carried the medicine box into the room and carried Su Jingyi to another clean room, he also left the room that was filled with four pheromones.

Gu Shiyu and Jiang Siran followed closely behind him, forced to walk side by side.

Because if one of them, an Alpha, tries to take a few quick steps forward to get closer to Li Qingran, the other will quickly pull them back.

In addition, Li Qingran's tone was quite serious just now, clearly indicating that she didn't want the two of them to argue or fight. So, the two Alphas pulled at each other until they had no choice but to reluctantly walk together.

Li Qingran was naturally aware of the commotion behind him, but he didn't bother to care. He casually chose a room that resembled a study, went inside, and sat down on the sofa in the middle. Then, he looked up at Gu Shiyu and said:

"After the doctor examines Jingyi, if there's nothing seriously wrong, you can go back now."

Gu Shiyu, who had been engaged in a subtle power struggle with Jiang Siran, froze for several seconds before she could process Li Qingran's words.

"Aren't you coming back with me?"

"Um."

Li Qingran's nod made Gu Shiyu's mood even heavier.

"But didn't we agree beforehand that I would help you leave?"

"whispering sound!"

After Gu Shiyu finished speaking, Jiang Siran suddenly chuckled, as if he had thought of something.

Li Qingran glanced at him, but Gu Shiyu had no time to pay him any attention. His dark eyes were fixed on Li Qingran, who had suddenly dropped a bombshell.

"I've already made all the preparations. As long as you come back with me later, I can send you away from Nancheng tonight."

"But after what just happened, do you think Jingyi will still let me leave?" Li Qingran asked in return.

Gu Shiyu: "..."

Li Qingran continued, "So the best thing to do now is to take Jing Yi away while he's still not fully conscious—"

"And what about you?!" Gu Shiyu interrupted Li Qingran before he could finish speaking.

"Me? I'll naturally stay." Li Qingran said calmly, looking at Gu Shiyu.

"In this way, I'll be considered to have left Jingyi's side, and it won't affect your relationship in any way. This doesn't actually conflict with the plan you discussed with me before, does it?"

So what exactly is your reason for opposing it now?

Gu Shiyu read this question in Li Qingran's gray eyes.

What is he struggling with?!

Gu Shiyu unconsciously tightened her grip on her knees.

Even he himself didn't know why his heart suddenly felt empty the moment Li Qingran said she would stay.

This anxiety, as if something important was about to slip through his fingers, made him unconsciously retort:

“But you can’t guarantee that if you stay, Su Jingyi won’t come looking for you again.”

"Mr. Gu, there's absolutely no need to worry about this."

After Gu Shiyu raised this question, before Li Qingran could speak, Jiang Siran spoke first, smugly.

"Qingran will be coming back to Beicheng with me in a couple of days. If nothing unexpected happens, we probably won't be coming to Nancheng again, so you don't need to worry. Even if Su Jingyi comes to this manor, he won't be able to find Qingran, and he won't be photographed by the media having an affair while married."

"So..." Jiang Siran looked at Gu Shiyu, his smile growing even brighter, and said, "You can rest assured and have a good marriage with Mr. Su. Qingran and I wish you a happy marriage in advance!"

"you--"

Gu Shiyu rarely wanted to swear, but he ultimately held back, only turning his head to look at the strength-infected man and uttering a question that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.

"Are you really sure about him? Don't forget how he schemed against you today, and you've only known each other for a short time. How can you trust him so much and give yourself to him like this?"

"No! Why are you saying such rude things!"

Jiang Siran was so angry he almost stood up, but Li Qingran's words calmed him down.

"If we're talking about how long we've known each other, besides Jingyi, you, Qi Ziyan, and Aran, he was definitely the first one I met."

Li Qingran pointed at Jiang Siran, who immediately raised his chin.

"..."

Gu Shiyu gritted his teeth. He wanted to say something more to persuade Li Qingran to go back with him, but before he could speak, Alpha had already stood up from the sofa and said in an unyielding tone:

"However, Mr. Gu, I am very grateful for your help during this time. If you have the opportunity to visit Beicheng in the future, I will treat you well."

"Take me with you!" Jiang Siran said, unwilling to be left out.

Li Qingran smiled at him but didn't say anything, while Gu Shiyu simply ignored the person next to him who was always trying to get attention.

He just kept staring at Li Qingran, watching him speak earnestly to him. Even though the gaze was clearly on him, Gu Shiyu still had the illusion that the Alpha was looking at someone else.

Why?

Why can't I leave with him?

What Jiang Siran can give, Gu Shiyu can not only give, but can even give more!

Moreover, he is also an Alpha...

A metallic taste of blood gradually filled Gu Shiyu's mouth. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

In the end, he simply nodded slowly to Li Qingran and then quickly left the study.

Soon, the black car that sped into the Jiang family manor in the heavy rain disappeared into the rainy night like an arrow under Li Qingran's gaze, and a warm body pressed against Li Qingran's back.

Li Qingran did not turn around, but looked up at the window in front of her. The transparent glass reflected the Alpha's inscrutable expression behind her.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Li Qingran asked.

In fact, from the moment he reached out to open the door, took the opportunity to fall into Jiang Siran's arms, and looked up at the other person, he caught the fleeting complex emotions in the Alpha's eyes.

However, Gu Shiyu was still around at the time, and Alpha was busy arguing with the other party, or perhaps he wanted to talk to him privately, so Li Qingran didn't ask at the time, until Jiang Siran came back to her now.

"..."

Jiang Siran initially just held Li Qingran without saying a word.

The wound on his hand had stopped bleeding, but because it hadn't been treated, bloodstains remained on the pale back of his hand, which, combined with the torn and ripped wound, looked quite gruesome.

This wound also shows just how strong Alpha's determination to suppress himself was at the time.

With a slight twitch of her fingertips, Li Qingran pursed her lips, about to suggest taking Jiang Siran to have his wound treated, but before she could even open her mouth, a sentence suddenly fell into her ear.

"Actually... you deliberately made me hug Su Jingyi, didn't you?"
