Chapter 13:12 After entering the main city, Fu Yunlu changed cars and...

After entering the main city, Fu Yunlu changed cars and took me back to the residential complex closest to Stroe University. His assistant was already waiting at the entrance. Fu Yunlu said, "My assistant will take you to see your house."

I was a little surprised: "So soon?" It had only been less than three or four days since he said he would buy me a house.

Fu Yunlu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal." He unbuckled my seat belt, leaned over and opened the door for me, "Go ahead. I have something else to do later, so I can't accompany you."

"Then..." I got out of the car, leaned over the window and looked at him, "Mr. Fu, you haven't agreed yet whether I can come to you."

"I may not have time to see you. I may not be able to receive the news of your coming in time." Fu Yunlu advised.

I blinked and said, "You're so busy, I'm even more worried about you. What should I do if I miss you?"

The assistant walked away after hearing this.

Fu Yunlu laughed for a while before saying, "If I really feel unwell, I will call you."

"I don't believe it, you must be kidding me."

"You have to believe it." Fu Yunlu smiled and touched my head, "...Brother won't lie to you."

My eyes narrowed, and I placed my hand on the back of his neck, pressing him slightly closer to me. I leaned in and kissed his lips. Fu Yunlu lost his balance and had to hold onto the window sill to maintain his balance. He tilted his head back and let me stir in his mouth for a while, until he realized that my fingers were slowly stroking his glands through the inhibitory patch again, and then he stepped back a little.

Fu Yunlu grabbed my hand, her expression gloomy: "Why have you been always--"

I didn't let him finish. I just pecked his mouth like a bird, smiled with my eyes curved, and said, "I'll be angry if my brother doesn't call me." I pulled back, waved to him, and walked away step by step.

Fu Yunlu was stunned for a moment, propped up her face with her elbows on the window, watched me and my assistant walk away, touched her lips that had just been kissed with her index finger, and finally chuckled.

I followed the assistant. He was shorter than me, with his head only reaching my eyebrows. He looked thin in his tailored suit. I looked at him for a while and thought he was probably a beta.

"What should I call you, sir?"

The assistant stopped and turned to look at me. His expression wasn't very good, and he whispered, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Liang. This was my oversight. My name is Ji Shun, you can just call me Assistant Ji."

I put my hands in my pockets, raised my eyebrows, and smiled inexplicably: "Mr. Ji..." I leaned over and moved closer to him, "Why do you look so ugly?"

Ji Shun smiled calmly and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Liang has made a mistake."

"Really? How many years has Mr. Ji been working for my brother?"

"Brother?" Ji Shun was stunned for a moment before realizing I was talking about Fu Yunlu. He pursed his lips and replied, "...four years."

Seeing that his reaction seemed unusual, I said in a sudden and profound way, "Do you like Mr. Fu?"

Ji Shun's lips trembled, and he steadied his voice before saying, "Mr. Liang is joking."

"I won't tell him, don't worry." I smiled, "I just don't understand why he shows this look to me, he's had so many lovers like this, you should have been used to it by now."

"..." Ji Shun took a step back, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Liang is really humorous. I'd better take you to see the house. You can add my contact information here. If there is anything you need to buy later, you can let me know and I will arrange it for you."

I stared down at his tightly pursed lips with a pitiful air, thinking to myself that love in this world is the most unreliable thing, and falling for a noble alpha is asking for trouble. It's a pity that so many infatuated men and women willingly jump into the fire pit—four years. Even if Ji Shun didn't say anything, wouldn't someone as shrewd as Fu Yunlu have noticed it? Perhaps he just thought this assistant was easy to use and didn't bother to expose it.

The property management staff came to my house to do facial recognition for me so that I could enter and exit the villa area. I thought Fu Yunlu only bought a house with two bedrooms and a living room, but I didn't expect that he bought me a villa in the villa area of ​​this community.

I looked up at the small house in front of me and asked Ji Shun, "How much is one square meter?"

Ji Shun replied: "Mr. Fu told me not to tell you the price."

It was thoughtful, but it was a pity that they chose the wrong person. Fu Yunlu was afraid that I would feel psychologically burdened, but I have always had a strong sense of belonging. As long as I get it, it proves that it is mine.

"It's not under my name yet." I pushed open the iron gate of the courtyard and caught a glimpse of Ji Shun's slightly frowning expression.

"...Yes, it's still under Mr. Fu's name, but since Mr. Fu has promised to give it to you, he won't regret it later."

He's upset. I can guess what he's thinking without even thinking. Why should an alpha deserve Fu Yunlu's special treatment? Is he just coveting Fu Yunlu's power and money? If that's what he thinks, then he's right. But what's he upset about? Does he feel that Fu Yunlu's sincerity was misplaced?

Could Fu Yunlu really be sincere? I thought to myself with amusement. Glancing around the villa, I saw it had been cleaned and even the bed had new sheets. I lay down and tested the pillow; it was the perfect height.

"I'll contact you if I need anything, Mr. Ji." I smiled at him, "But I have to advise you, no matter what, your current job is the most important. If you invest too much emotion in dealing with Yunlu, you will be the only one who suffers in the end."

He gritted his teeth, finally unable to hold back the anger in his heart. Before leaving, he glanced at me and said coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"

So fierce. I shrugged innocently.

Honestly, I don't understand why my mother cried so hard to me before she died. I thought she was afraid of death, but she said, "Guan Yue, I'm just afraid of leaving you all alone." I also don't understand why Fu Yunlu was so accommodating to his family, even willing to get herself into trouble. And today, I'm even more confused about how Ji Shun could still insist on liking Fu Yunlu after knowing that he had had fleeting affairs with countless other people.

Those feelings and love are vague and elusive, but I only know that the things that I can hold firmly in my hands truly belong to me.

But no one is willing to become a vassal for another person.

That is too unreasonable for the universal values ​​of mankind.

I yawned, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier, as if a thousand-pound weight was pulling them down. I held on for two seconds but couldn't hold on any longer. I huddled into the quilt and fell asleep alertly in this unfamiliar environment.

When Fu Yunlu returned home, he found that everyone was already there. He changed his shoes at the entrance, walked over to Fu Liaoyan who was sitting on the sofa, stood up straight, lowered his head and said, "Father, I was delayed on the way. I'm very sorry."

Fu Liaoyan is now over a hundred years old, but his face shows no signs of old age. Only fine wrinkles tell him that he is no longer in his thirties or forties. Hearing this, he didn't even glance at him and said lightly, "It's okay, the food is not ready yet."

Fu Yunlu said, "Regarding the Zerg invasion of District 98, I have heard Colonel Gao's report on the battle situation—"

Fu Liaoyan interrupted, "Don't discuss business matters at home. Come and report to me tomorrow."

"yes."

"I heard..." Fu Liaoyan turned on his computer, "You recently adopted an alpha from a poor family?"

Fu Yunlu froze. Fu Liaoyan had never asked about these matters before, but for some reason he brought up Liang Guanyue today. Fu Yunlu secretly clenched her fists, smiled, and asked, "Father, where did you hear this?"

"Fu Yunlu."

Fu Yunlu quickly replied, "...Yes, father, I did adopt an alpha recently."

Seeing Fu Liaoyan's reaction, he guessed that there might be other princes gossiping about him.

"When are you going to get married?" Fu Liaoyan glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Fu Yunlu, I have high hopes for you. Homosexuality is not a good reputation, and the Federation does not need a king like that."

When Nino and Omega first established their nation, they chose a federal system rather than an imperial one, aiming for a balance of power and checks and balances to prevent the rigidification of family lines. However, there was already a gap between alphas, betas, and omegas. A federation built on the "supreme power" of alphas was bound to lead to class stratification, with the aristocracy becoming more reliant on the theory of bloodline.

The so-called federation is nothing more than an invisible empire ruled by the Fu family.

Fu Yunlu was not frightened by Fu Liaoyan's words. He was panicked for a moment because he suddenly worried whether Liang Guanyue would be in trouble with other people.

He smiled and replied, "Father, I'm not in a hurry yet. As for this alpha..." He saw a photo of Liang Guanyue in college on Fu Liaoyan's laptop and continued, "He's just a good-looking boy, so I'm just raising him for fun. Don't worry, father."

"Good-looking? Who's good-looking?" Fu Yunliang appeared out of nowhere. Seeing Fu Liaoyan, he carefully bowed, "Hello, father." Then, seeing the photo of Liang Guanyue propping up her face, his eyes lit up. He practically trotted over to them, staring motionlessly at the image of Liang Guanyue on the computer. He looked up and asked Fu Yunlu, "Brother, who is this omega you're holding?"
