Chapter. Thirty-seventh
Wen Jiangchu had a strong smile in his eyes. He leaned down and got close to Chen Qiudu's face. The scent of dianthus mixed with trumpet creeper filled all his senses.
Meeting Wen Jiangchu's eyes, Shen Qiudu suddenly realized that he had been tricked by this fox. He had clearly done it on purpose!
"Wen Jiangchu! Did you do this on purpose..." Chen Qiudu's ears turned red and his breathing became disordered for a moment.
"How could you say that, Qiudu? This shirt is actually my size, and I just happened to put it on. Besides... there are so many people at the dinner party, who knows if other Omegas will deliberately release pheromones?"
"I'm doing this to protect myself. After all, I belong to Shen Qiudu alone, so of course I have to be a man, right? Qiudu's pheromones have a strong warning and inhibitory effect on me, so I don't have to worry about others drugging me."
"Besides, Qiu Du's things are all treasures. Qiu Du is also my treasure. Of course I have to protect him closely. Doesn't Qiu Du like me doing this?"
Wen Jiangchu deliberately lowered his eyelashes, revealing a helpless and aggrieved look, and hooked up Chen Qiudu's little finger and shook it. Chen Qiudu was unable to say anything to refuse.
"No..." Chen Qiudu's throat was dry and he lowered his voice. "I like it very much... I like Wen Jiangchu very much."

The dinner was held in a western-style castle in the suburbs. It was quite close to the slums, but the yard was heavily guarded and surrounded by sharp iron railings to prevent anyone with ill intentions from breaking in.
Almost all the families and company leaders who had been on good terms with the Wen family would come here. One reason was to give face to the government, and the other was that the Wen family had suffered a heavy blow before, and they expressed regret on the surface but actually did not provide any help. This time the Wen family was back to its former glory, so they all came here with flattering faces.
After all, the cooperation in slum reconstruction is a big piece of fat meat. It is definitely a sure profit to be able to take a little bit of it. However, the prerequisite is that the Wen family must intervene. Therefore, Lu Shuyao and others came to the Wen family many times just to reach a cooperation and have a protective shield.
Now the news that the Wen family and the government are jointly participating in the reconstruction has spread, so everyone is scrambling to appear in front of Wen Jiangchu, hoping to have their own position.
However, there were so many people at the dinner that Shen Qiudu felt a little uneasy. After all, this was his first time attending such a dinner in person. He had at least been able to hide on the second floor the previous time, but this time, for the sake of cooperation, he had to show up.
Chen Qiudu took the initiative to hold Wen Jiangchu's hand, exerted a little force, and took half a step behind Wen Jiangchu, trying to hide half of his body behind him.
Wen Jiangchu naturally knew that Chen Qiudu would find it difficult to handle this kind of social dinner. He raised his arms and firmly clasped Chen Qiudu's waist, completely confining him to his side, his possessiveness and desire to protect him reaching a peak.
While in the car, Wen Jiangchu specially brought a blocking patch and personally helped Shen Qiudu stick it on the gland. Although Shen Qiudu had already drunk the medicine prepared by Xue Shanke in advance, emotional fluctuations are unpredictable, and Wen Jiangchu never dared to gamble on Shen Qiudu.
As soon as I stepped into the banquet hall, the conversation in the hall stopped instantly. A second later, those financial tycoons who appeared in financial magazines and even on TV rushed forward quickly, blocking the way.
But before coming here, Wen Jiangchu had already selected the partners, including the connections and resources to introduce to Chen Qiudu. These people on the first floor were just going through the motions.
Wen Jiangchu waved with a smile, and soon the bodyguards appeared from behind and blocked everyone's steps. Wen Jiangchu then successfully took Chen Qiudu to the second floor.
As soon as he reached the second floor, Chen Qiudu's eyes fell on Qin Mao, who was obviously waiting impatiently on the sofa. He raised his eyelids lazily and asked, "Why are you so slow?"
"Some people in the Song family are difficult to deal with. I asked Uncle Liang to delay them for a while before they arrived, but it shouldn't be too late."
Wen Jiangchu led Shen Qiudu forward and spoke softly, "Qiudu, this is Qin Mao. He was the one who released Qiudu's parents earlier."
"Hello, Mr. Qin, thank you so much for your help." Chen Qiudu subconsciously wanted to take a step forward, but he didn't expect Wen Jiangchu to deliberately increase the strength of his hand on his waist, making it impossible for him to move away at all.
Qin Mao stood up and walked over to Chen Qiudu, extending his hand. "Hello, I didn't expect to see you again. It wasn't a big deal before, but I also gained a lot from Wen Jiangchu, so it's a one-to-one deal."
Chen Qiudu was about to raise his hand to shake hands with him, but Wen Jiangchu adjusted his position slowly and moved away from them.
He frowned and said, "We are already very familiar with each other, there is no need to shake hands."
"There's no need to be so defensive, right? It's like you don't have a baby... and I'm not that kind of person." Qin Mao rolled his eyes helplessly, but still put down his hand as Wen Jiangchu wished.
Xue Shanke then walked out of a nearby door and quickly stepped forward. "What are you doing here? Come in."
Chen Qiudu followed Wen Jiangchu into the house. It was a reception room hidden in the dark. A round table was filled with people, both men and women, mostly Alphas.
Chen Qiudu knew some people. The one leading the group was the Prime Minister of the government, who was also the man who had come to the Wen family to confirm cooperation with Wen Jiangchu. The woman in a professional suit on the other side was the person who was previously in charge of the overall affairs of the slums. Chen Qiudu had seen her from a distance when he was working before.
The rest were also the meetings he had held when he followed Wen Jiangchu to the slums to look for his parents.
Everyone in the room was stunned when they saw Chen Qiudu, but since they had met him before, it was obviously within their expectations.
The Prime Minister was the first to get impatient and asked cautiously, "Premier Wen, who is this..."
"He's my boyfriend."
Before Wen Jiangchu could speak, Chen Qiudu poked his head out from behind him, put his hands on Wen Jiangchu's arm, and bit his lip after he finished speaking, like a kitten who bravely stood up to protect the person he loved but was too nervous because of his thin body.
Although Chen Qiudu was somewhat socially anxious, he would not hold back when it came to asserting his sovereignty. Furthermore, if possible, he would have wanted to let everyone know immediately that he and Wen Jiangchu were together and would never be apart.
This was not just due to his inner possessiveness, but also because he wanted to stand up and tell those who were coveting him behind his back that Wen Jiangchu was no longer alone and would not face everything alone.
Chen Qiudu also wanted to protect Wen Jiangchu, so that everyone would think of him when they thought of Wen Jiangchu, and he and Wen Jiangchu would be forever tied together.
Just like when a kitten wants to protect someone, it will do anything to protect him, even though he is just a weak, sensitive and petite kitten.
Wen Jiangchu's deliberately rational appearance was instantly vaporized by this straightforward support. He placed his warm palm on Chen Qiudu's slightly trembling hand and rubbed it soothingly with his fingertips.
"That's right," he said. "This is my lover, and also the Wen family's general agent in this reconstruction bidding process."
"So, during this time, I'd like to trouble you all to take good care of me. Please forgive me if there are any mistakes. I will take full responsibility."
This sentence sounds euphemistic and pleasant, but it actually tells these people that Shen Qiudu is his, and they can just follow his lead in whatever he wants to do. It doesn't matter if he makes a mistake, as he will be responsible, but his safety must be protected.
After saying that, Wen Jiangchu politely nodded to everyone, turned around and left the room with Chen Qiudu.
"Just a meeting? Don't I need to say anything?" Chen Qiudu was a little confused and looked back at the quiet house.
Afterwards, the door was completely closed, and Wen Jiangchu took Chen Qiudu to the other side, a private and comfortable space where no one was around.
"No need." Wen Jiangchu rubbed Shen Qiudu's hand lovingly. When his eyes fell on his cheeks which were slightly flushed due to nervousness, he could no longer hold back and raised his hand to pinch it gently.
It feels really good and looks a lot like the strawberry-flavored snow meringue I had at noon.
"I brought you here so they can get to know you, not so you can spend time getting to know them. As for how to help you build a relationship with them later, that's something they should think about."
"They only need to know one thing, that is, I am behind you. That's enough. Baby, just do what you want."
Wen Jiangchu would never let Chen Qiudu worry about anything. He just wanted to protect Chen Qiudu. He had experienced enough, so from now on, he just needed to stay by his side and he would take care of everything.
"Then where are you going next?" Chen Qiudu was pushed onto the sofa by Wen Jiangchu. Seeing that he was about to get up and leave again, he immediately grabbed his wrist and asked.
"Go back and talk to them about the Song family. When the Wen family's funding chain was broken, they took the opportunity to snatch away a lot of cooperative projects. Those were the ones my parents fought hard to get. I want to take them back."
Wen Jiangchu gently stroked Chen Qiudu's cheek, with a charming look in his eyes. It was the love that he had never dared to reveal before.
But now, it is so frank and naked.
"Don't worry Qiu Du, I specially called someone to keep you company. He's an Omega too, so you two should have something in common."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The moment the door was about to open, a strong sense of unease enveloped Shen Qiudu's heart.
Following closely behind was the rich, sweet aroma of Fuli Strawberry Ice Brew, which almost invaded everything in the room.
Omega's nature made Shen Qiudu stand up immediately, wrapping his arms tightly around Wen Jiangchu's arms, with only half of his head showing from behind him, and he looked at the man at the door cautiously and vigilantly.
"Wen Jiangchu, I only have half an hour." The man was only wearing a thin light-colored sweatshirt and a silver earring on his left ear. He looked impatient, as if he was called over hurriedly but found that there was nothing urgent at all.
"Thank you, long time no see. This is my lover, Chen Qiudu."
Wen Jiangchu was about to turn sideways to introduce Chen Qiudu, but found that he was hiding behind him, like a shy cat that crawled under the sofa, exactly the same as the one he picked up and brought home before.
"Isn't it cute? Like a kitten..."
Xie Wu walked forward and tilted his head to meet Chen Qiudu's eyes.
Although he knew that being an Omega might create a bad impression when they first met, Xie Wu did not expect Chen Qiudu to be so resistant.
His body was buried in the darkness, his skin pressed tightly against Wen Jiangchu's. His pupils were gloomy and dark, like a pool of stagnant water, staring at his every move.
It seemed that as long as he dared to get closer to Wen Jiangchu, something unimaginable would happen.
Xie Wu had never met an Omega with such a strong possessiveness. He froze for a moment and even felt that what he just heard from Wen Jiangchu was his hallucination.
"This... looks like a kitten?" Xie Wu asked in disbelief.
Wen Jiangchu was a little confused and looked sideways.
Chen Qiudu raised his head and blinked at Wen Jiangchu. His expression had long since returned to normal. He even rubbed Wen Jiangchu's arm obediently, and the small hairs on his cheeks teased his exposed collarbone intentionally or unintentionally.
Wen Jiangchu felt a great sense of pleasure and satisfaction in his heart. He gently rubbed Chen Qiudu's head, petting his fur like a cat, "Yes, it's a kitten."
Xie Wu was silent for a while, "..." Crazy, all crazy.
