Imprisonment

He stayed in the room all day and didn't know how to contact the outside world. Lu Shuo always didn't want him to go out, intentionally or unintentionally. Over time, Chu Rong no longer had any thoughts about it. Now when he heard that he could take a walk, he didn't react much.

With a faint nod in response, he closed the door and changed his clothes.

When going downstairs, she met a man. He was wearing a black shirt and black suit pants, his hair was combed neatly, and he looked mature and manly. He looked straight at Chu Rong with a smile and seemed easy to talk to, although the omega did not want to meet his eyes.

"Chu Rong, you look a little better."

Chu Rong glanced at him and lowered his head again.

Lu Shuo: "Cousin, we plan to go out for a walk."

"Be safe and go home early."

"good."

go home?

Can that kind of place be called home?

Chu Rong laughed at himself in his heart, but he couldn't suppress his restless mood. The gaze of the man in the black shirt was so hot that his scalp tingled, and it was difficult to ignore it.

Following the young man out of the elevator, Chu Rong couldn't help but ask, "You said he... is a beta? Why do I feel like he's an alpha?"

"Haha, how is that possible? My cousin has revealed his beta gender since he differentiated. He's not interested in any pheromones. Could he possibly differentiate again? Even though he has a crush on you, he can't smell your pheromones. Only I can."

So proud.

Chu Rong believed in his intuition more than what he said. Although he did not smell any alpha pheromones on Lu Heng, he could feel that he looked at him with the possessiveness of an alpha looking at an omega.

But why was he so sure? He clearly didn't remember anything.

Chu Rong's head started to hurt again, and Lu Shuo said worriedly: "If you are not feeling well, let's go back."

Chu Rong shook his head and said, "Since we're here, let's take a walk around first."

Lu Shuo felt a little regretful about letting Chu Rong out. He looked down at his phone and saw, as expected, a text message from his cousin scolding him for delaying work. But keeping Chu Rong locked up like this wasn't a solution. He had become thinner and more haggard, his skin unhealthily pale, and he couldn't muster the energy to do anything.

It's very different from Chu Rong who used to smile at everyone he saw.

Lu Shuo was completely captivated by the smile he gave the fast food restaurant owner. He thought, if she smiled at him, he would probably be dizzy for the whole day.

Chu Rong looked up and squinted his eyes at the sun. He often basked in the sun by the window in his room, but when he went downstairs, his whole body was bathed in the warm winter weather. He felt warm and relaxed, and it was a different feeling.

There was a playground in the small garden. Children were playing in groups of three or four, and parents were chatting in the rest area. Chu Rong walked over and tried to join them.

"Don't go, Chu Rong." Lu Shuo grabbed his clothes anxiously.

"Why? You're restricting my freedom on the grounds of insecurity. Are you even depriving me of my right to socialize?"

This was the first time Lu Shuo had heard him speak so harshly, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, they are all strangers..."

"They are all homeowners who came here to play with their children. What bad intentions could they have? If you don't take the initiative to say hello, we will always be strangers. I just chatted briefly."

"But……"

"Lu Shuo, you're so nagging, just like an old lady."

“…” Chu Rong was actually impatient with him!

Lu Shuo sighed sadly and had to allow him to pass.

"Hello." Chu Rong took the initiative to greet them with his usual gentle and bright smile.

The parents who were chatting sat up seriously when they saw such a handsome man. Chu Rong said gently: "Don't be nervous, I'm an omega who is recuperating..." For some reason, when talking about the omega gender, he always felt a little awkward, as if he was not willing to say it out loud.

The parent of the short-haired girl asked, "You look so haggard, did you just give birth?"

"No, I just lost my child."

"S-Sorry."

"Do you mind if I sit down and chat for a while? It's getting a bit boring staying at home all the time."

"Okay, that's okay. I have some sunflower seeds here. Let's chat."

Alphas are sensitive to pheromones, and because of gender differences, Lu Shuo doesn't want to just mingle with omegas. He wondered as he watched Chu Rong chatting happily with other omegas. He felt a surge of resentment: "What's there to talk about with others? He's never even been this friendly to me..."

After a brief chat about family matters, Chu Rong casually mentioned the news he had seen.

Long-haired woman O: "Oh, that President Su is gone, what a pity! It was said that he was celebrating his birthday with his omega lover and wanted to propose to her at the same time. I don't know what caused the fire that sank the cruise ship."

Short-haired o: "Yeah, that's really strange. I heard that the search and rescue team was here. He could have escaped, but I don't know why he went back..."

Long-haired O: "Looks like his omega is still inside."

Short-haired O: "No, no, the reports said that the omega was still fine. I don't know how he was hidden. But the alpha... Hey, I thought he was so handsome, how come he's gone!"

Chu Rong's heart moved slightly: "Do you have a photo of him? I'm a little curious."

"Yes, yes. After all, he's one of the most popular people in the Federation. Even if he doesn't appear in public often, we, the spectators, have photos of him."

Chu Rong was waiting for them to take out the photos when Lu Shuo rushed over and interrupted: "Chu Rong, enough talking, we should go."

The parents tried to persuade him to stay: "You're so late! We were having a great chat. Where do you live? Let's continue the conversation next time."

Chu Rong smiled lightly, "Sorry, I don't know where I live. Lu Shuo, go back."

Long-haired o muttered, "Is there anyone who doesn't know where they live?"

Short-haired O: "Sister, don't you think that omega just now looks like someone?"

"who?"

"The passionate and fierce o who was all the rage online for a while!"

…

Su Family Private Hospital

"Don't move, don't move. Your leg injury hasn't healed yet. If you move around without fear of anything, you will really be crippled!" The doctor in the white coat and the nurse pressed the alpha, who was struggling to stand up, back down with both hands. The alpha tried to stand up but failed, and his face turned pale.

"No, I have to find Chu Rong!"

"He's fine now, why are you leaving?" Old Madam Su stomped her cane on the floor and scolded him harshly, "Don't you see what you look like? If your disfigurement can't be cured, will Chu Rong still want you?"

Su Xingyun was forced to shut up after being touched on a sore spot. The old lady then continued, "Even if our family has enough money to treat your leg, if you don't take good care of it, how can we expect it to heal quickly? Don't be like your foolish father, who lost sight of right and wrong for an omega and got so caught up in it that he lost all his ability to think!"

"I'm sorry, grandma."

"You should apologize to Chu Rong! You caused him to lose his child and almost his life. Su Xingyun, you are not the kind of person who loses your mind like this. Even if you want to find out who Gu Nai is, you can't lose the big picture for the sake of small things!"

"I was reckless... I knew from the beginning that Gu Nai approached me out of revenge. He hid his identity and even stole the identity of Chu Rong's illegitimate son. I just... wanted to get evidence as soon as possible so that Chu Rong could return to where he belongs."

"Then have you ever thought that Chu Rong doesn't care about his illegitimate status or the Gu family at all?"

"But he's suffered so much in the first half of his life, he can't just watch others take his place in the future, right?"

The old lady sighed and stomped her cane again. "You've never tried to put yourself in my shoes. Chu Rong is such a tough kid. Even if he acts like a money-grubber in front of you, it doesn't mean he's willing to go back to the Gu family and be a low-quality omega bastard! If he really goes back, his fate will be to be permanently deprived of his freedom and sold to an old alpha who can exchange it for profit."

"But Gu Nai can live a glamorous life, so can't she marry me? If we talk to the Gu family about this, all the hatred between our parents will be wiped out, isn't that good?"

"Yun'er, you're just too kind. The business world is like a battlefield. How can you think so righteously? You've never been so cowardly before. Did Chu Rong influence you?"

Su Xingyun clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head. "I don't want to do anything to hurt him again. If he returns to the Gu family and gets embarrassed because of me, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Then don't let him go back. He's already grown up and is an omega valued by the country. Moreover, he is infertile, so he has lost the opportunity for marriage. The Gu family will not force him to go back and recognize his ancestors."

"Grandma, I think... just taking one more look at him and making sure he's okay is enough!"

The old lady snorted, "People are greedy. You say you want to take a look now, but later you want to talk to him and then bring him back!"

Su Xingyun tried to bargain with her, "He's my omega, I can't be without him during my estrus! Please, grandma, these days I keep dreaming about him bathing in fire, and I can hardly sleep."

Seeing her once proud grandson become so humble, Old Lady Su felt quite disappointed, but she also knew how much influence something as illusory as love could have on people.

The old lady had no choice but to give in. "Just now, my people heard that Chu Rong went out for a while. Here, this is a short video. After watching it, rest assured and recover from your injuries."

Su Xingyun couldn't wait to pick up the disc and play it. Chu Rong in the video was indeed intact, but he looked tired and haggard, just when he needed the comfort of alpha pheromones.

He noted down the landmark buildings around him and asked his almost omnipotent assistant to find out their specific locations.
