Chapter 51 Rejection It doesn’t matter to us anymore.
"That's what you wanted to see, right?"
Bai Xu asked Jiang Yuan in return.
Jiang Yuan didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on the medical staff moving around in the room. Chen Wei was turned over, revealing the slightly protruding gland on the back of his neck.
There seemed to be nothing on the back of the neck.
Because the mark has been embedded deep into the flesh and blood.
"Since you came to this planet, I have never seen Shen Wei relax for a moment."
Bai Xu spoke in front of Jiang Yuan at a very appropriate time.
"Do you think that just because you've marked him, he's completely yours?"
"Chen Wei is such an arrogant man, yet he has carried your mark for so many years. You wouldn't be so self-indulgent as to think he still thinks of you, would you? You are very naive."
"I don't know what happened between you and him in the past, but I'm sure you have no way of getting Shen Wei now."
Bai Xu didn't stop talking.
Jiang Yuan ignored him. He looked straight at the operating table and saw the medical staff using the machine to cut open the back of Shen Wei's neck.
The mark will be cleared soon.
Jiang Yuan's pupils shrank slightly for a moment as they moved.
He said coldly: "You don't need to say anything on behalf of Shen Wei here."
The voice is tense.
"Your existence is just a burden to Chen Wei."
"Do you want to know why Chen Wei let you watch him clean the mark with your own eyes?"
Jiang Yuan's breathing slowed down, and his eyes were fixed on Chen Wei, without paying any attention to Bai Xu again.
"You won't get him by using dirty tricks. Instead, your actions will only push Shen Wei further away from you."
"What you're seeing now is just his first step away from you."
"After he walked out of the operating room, he had nothing to do with you anymore."
A very short vertical mark appeared between Jiang Yuan's eyebrows, but disappeared in a flash.
His entire body leaned back very slightly. Beneath his calm mask, his jaw was tense and his eyes were distorted.
The shoulders of the top Alpha tensed unconsciously.
Jiang Yuan said, "Shut up."
The patrolmen were crisscrossing behind them, and they couldn't even speak loudly.
Jiang Yuan lowered his voice, and his usually calm figure became a little unsteady.
He has always been good at restraining his emotions, and only when facing Shen Wei would he be unable to control his inner possessiveness.
"A deceased husband should have the awareness of being a deceased husband."
"I once asked Chen Wei, and he told me clearly that there is no chance for you anymore."
"To continue to pester him would be disrespectful to him, you, and even to both planets."
Bai Xu did not hide his emotions, even though he knew that the other party might become the planet's partner.
As soon as he finished speaking, the medical staff in the operating room began to move hurriedly, and the assistant beside him walked back and forth between the instruments and the operating table.
Everyone in the operating room looked at an instrument.
Jiang Yuan followed their gaze and looked at the instrument.
The data on the instrument was jumping around randomly.
It seems that the situation has changed.
Apparently, someone recognized Bai Xu outside the door. An assistant came to the door and informed Bai Xu: "Adjutant Bai, Commander Shen is not in good condition."
Jiang Yuan's gaze remained fixed on Chen Wei, moving towards the medical assistant.
A familiar scent of cardamom hit me.
Because of the complete marking, Jiang Yuan could clearly sense that Chen Wei's pheromones were out of control.
Bai Xu couldn't sense anything and could only look in the direction of Chen Wei, his voice a little hurried, "What's going on? Shouldn't removing the mark be a minor operation?"
"Commander Shen's pheromones are extremely unstable right now and are about to get out of control. Alph's pheromones are needed to calm them down."
Bai Xu didn't have time to delve into the reasons and said, "I can—"
Jiang Yuan stopped him and said, "I brought him his mark, let me go."
The medical assistant was stunned for a moment. He had never seen this Alpha before! How could he have marked Commander Shen?
But now was not the time for gossip, so he said bluntly: "Commander Shen has instructed that if anything happens during the operation, just go to Adjutant Bai."
Afterwards, Bai Xu was taken into the operating room by a medical assistant.
With a "bang".
The operating room door was closed.
Jiang Yuan was left outside alone, and he didn't even have time to say a second word.
He faced the cold, hard door, his expression indistinct.
He was not chosen by Shen Wei.
There's not even room to maneuver.
He remained silent for a long time, his fingertips trembling slightly, but he could only stay outside the operating room and watch.
Jiang Yuan could only watch as another Alpha tried to comfort Shen Wei.
In the extremely silent space, Jiang Yuan could only hear the sound of his own breathing. His breathing was deep and heavy, and every exhalation was filled with suppressed force.
In Jiang Yuan's sight, Bai Xu approached Chen Wei, blocking Chen Wei's upper body tightly, so Jiang Yuan could not see anything.
He couldn't do anything either.
I don’t know how long it took, but the operation was finally over.
Patients in critical condition who have undergone surgery will be sent to the ward through another channel.
Jiang Yuan followed the patient with his eyes, and after asking the medical staff, he headed towards the ward.
The communicator vibrated at an inopportune moment.
The communicator was an assistant. Jiang Yuan did not stop and connected the call while walking.
"Leader? Where are you? We have a meeting scheduled tonight to communicate with the planet and conduct a work report."
"I'll leave it all to you," Jiang Yuan said, taking bigger and bigger steps. "You take the lead on this."
"Ah?" The assistant was puzzled. Although this work report was not important, Jiang Yuan, who always loved work, had never missed it once.
Then, the assistant noticed Jiang Yuan running and immediately became alert: "Leader, what's going on over there?"
Jiang Yuan followed the drone's instructions and walked quickly towards the ward where Shen Wei was.
He asked, "What?"
He couldn't focus on anything else right now.
The assistant repeated it again.
Jiang Yuan said, "No, I have some personal matters to attend to."
"From now on, in the planet's diplomacy, unless there are major occasions, everything will be left to you to handle. You can do it."
Jiang Yuan gave the order directly through the communication.
"ah?"
"I've evaluated it and will send you the information later. I need to...take a long vacation. I'll submit the leave application into the system."
Jiang Yuan has already made detailed documents about the content of the work, including project evaluation, schedule, cooperation nodes and other information. With this information, the assistant can handle most of the work content well.
"If you're unsure, feel free to contact me."
Jiang Yuan gave his assistant a reassurance and hung up the phone first.
Jiang Yuan, who has always been reliable, misread the room number several times when looking for the ward.
His steps were a little unsteady, and after asking the medical staff for the third time, Jiang Yuan finally found the ward where Shen Wei was.
While removing the markings is a minor procedure, it doesn't mean there are no risks. Any surgery, regardless of gender, requires time to recover.
At this moment, Shen Wei was lying in the ward.
The effect of the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet.
After his identity was verified, Jiang Yuan was allowed to enter.
In the ward, Bai Xu was already inside.
Chen Wei lay on the hospital bed, his face tilted to one side, his sleeping face peaceful, his handsome eyebrows trembling slightly with his breathing, but his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was in a nightmare.
Bai Xu shouted in a low voice: "You are not needed here."
He was about to bend over and put something on the back of Shen Wei's neck.
Jiang Yuan frowned and took it from him.
It's a special Band-Aid.
Jiang Yuan's face was serious. "He just finished surgery. The ingredients in the bandage will only irritate the wound. You need to wait six hours before applying it again."
Bai Xu didn't say anything, knowing he was in the wrong.
"I don't think you have the ability to take good care of Shen Wei," Jiang Yuan said as he walked to the bathroom and took the towel prepared by the hospital, "You can leave here."
Bai Xu asked back, "Do you think Chen Wei will be happy if he opens his eyes and sees you?"
Jiang Yuan wet the towel and leaned over to gently wipe the sweat off Shen Wei's forehead. "I only listen to what he says. Your opinion is not important."
Bai Xu was already suppressing his anger, and now he was irritated by Jiang Yuan's attitude. He grabbed Jiang Yuan's collar from behind.
Jiang Yuan's gland on the back of his neck was exposed to Bai Xu's eyes. Bai Xu saw the scar on it. There was a hideous old scar on the gland belonging to the Alpha.
Jiang Yuan noticed Bai Xu's pause, he stopped what he was doing and folded the towel.
He grabbed Bai Xu with his backhand and said in a steady tone, "The scars you see are the ones I got for Shen Wei."
"The bond between us is deeper than you think."
Jiang Yuan stated the facts.
"That's all in the past!"
Bai Xu was pinned to the ground by Jiang Yuan, unable to move, and was surprised at Jiang Yuan's strength.
He looked like a mildly aggressive Alpha, but he was so powerful that even a seasoned veteran like him couldn't counter him at all.
Jiang Yuan's eyes darkened, his mind filled with the image of Bai Xu entering the operating room and staying with Shen Wei. At this moment, his shoulders were tense, his neck lines bulged, and he said softly, "Shh, don't wake him."
If someone familiar with Jiang Yuan saw him, they would understand that he was on the verge of losing control.
But in order not to wake up Shen Wei, Jiang Yuan controlled his emotions and let Bai Xu go.
She sat down next to Shen Wei very gently and looked at him quietly.
It was not until the whole room became quiet that Jiang Yuan noticed the wound on the back of Chen Wei's neck. A red mark ran across the back of his neck, which was impossible to ignore.
Bai Xu seemed to have noticed it as well, and both of their eyes fell on the back of Shen Wei's neck.
There was a strange silence in the space.
The smell of disinfectant filled the air, and the instrument that detected the stability of pheromones was emitting regular sounds that echoed in the space.
The critical situation gradually stabilized.
The anesthetic gradually wore off.
Shen Wei slowly opened his eyes.
His eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he barely managed to open them with a strong willpower.
Within sight, there is an empty and clean space, and the nose is filled with the soothing smell of disinfectant.
His mind seemed to be a mess, making it impossible for him to wake up.
His gaze gradually moved upwards, and he saw the not-so-clean leather shoes, the crisp and wrinkle-free trousers, and... Jiang Yuan's face.
His chaotic consciousness made him unaware of what was happening.
Why am I here, and why is Jiang Yuan here...?
Jiang Yuan stepped forward and tried to get closer to Chen Wei, but was blocked by Bai Xu.
Bai Xu asked softly, "Awake, are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Wei blinked slowly a few times and said, "Alright?"
Then, consciousness slowly returned.
He washed away the marks.
Shen Wei recalled what he was doing in the hospital.
He was not used to the sudden relief at the back of his neck. He tried to twist his neck, but the severe pain in the wound made him turn his head back.
Shen Wei's voice became hoarse because he hadn't been in water for too long, "Was the operation successful?"
"Success, very successful, the mark on the back of the neck has been completely washed off."
Bai Xu answered him.
Jiang Yuan stood there without any reaction.
Shen Wei's vision was firmly blocked, and he couldn't see Jiang Yuan's reaction.
He whispered, "Jiang Yuan."
Jiang Yuan stepped forward and squatted beside Shen Wei, his eyes level with Shen Wei's. His face was completely pale and his temperament was fragile and broken.
Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, almost making him unable to squat.
Shen Wei looks extremely weak now.
This was different from all the previous dangers, Jiang Yuan could sense it clearly.
No matter how miserable he was in the past, it was never like this now. He had a numb and dazed temperament.
The impression of Shen Wei is not like this at all.
When I first learned that Shen Wei's pheromones were out of control, I had the same reaction as now.
But Jiang Yuan could only hold on and not let himself deviate from his dignified and reliable personality in the slightest.
It would be very embarrassing to be seen by Shen Wei.
But he already knew clearly in his heart that Chen Wei was really moving away from him little by little.
I want to tie Chen Wei to my side by relying on the old ways, but I can no longer do that.
Chen Wei took the initiative to choose to wash off the mark, and Jiang Yuan could no longer control him through pheromones. The source of shame and pain was eliminated.
"I have completely washed away your mark. We have no relationship anymore."
Shen Wei spoke slowly, word by word.
"Cooperation between planets must continue, but we... must avoid contact unless necessary."
Because of the anesthetic injection, Shen Wei's emotions were extremely calm at the moment, and he felt that everything was meaningless.
There was no anger or resentment, he just felt relieved - the relief of ending this abnormal relationship.
But for some reason, he began to pay attention to Jiang Yuan's reaction uncontrollably.
Jiang Yuan held onto the bed with his hand, forced a smile, and said, "You haven't fully recovered yet. I've taken a long vacation to take care of you."
"No, the hospital's escort is already very complete."
Shen Wei spoke to Jiang Yuan calmly, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuan's face.
Bai Xu followed up Shen Wei's words and said, "You don't need to act pitiful here."
Jiang Yuan insisted on his own idea and said to Shen Wei: "What do you want to eat? I will make it for you."
The other party still insisted.
Chen Wei endured the severe pain, turned his head in another direction, and refused to look Jiang Yuan in the eye.
Chen Wei closed his eyes tightly and said, "No need."
Bai Xu reached out to pull Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan shook him off.
Shen Wei said, "I need to rest."
Bai Xu quickly replied, "Okay, let's go out. Call us if you need anything."
Shen Wei responded in a low voice.
Bai Xu said to Jiang Yuan, "Did you hear that? Chen Wei needs to rest."
Jiang Yuan's gaze was still on the back of Shen Wei's neck. The wound in that place would take an extremely long time to heal.
He had also suffered glandular injuries before and knew how painful it was to have a gland cut open.
Looking at Chen Wei's expression, Jiang Yuan's throat heaved and he said dryly, "Okay."
