Absurd everything
The next day, Zou Yuqing didn't show up at his workstation, which was exactly what Wei Mingjue had anticipated. This Alpha, who never bowed his head, had a stronger sense of self-esteem than others. How could he bring his scent to the company after being marked by him?
"Boss Wei, Yu Qing has asked for leave today. He seems..."
"I know."
Seeing Wei Mingjue looking in Zou Yuqing's direction at the department door, Manager Cui stood up to explain, but before he finished explaining, Wei Mingjue nodded, glanced at Zou Yuqing's seat and left.
Without thinking too much, Manager Cui sat down and started to deal with yesterday's matters. When he saw people whispering, he quickly stopped them.
Wei Mingjue walked into the office and called Xia Fan in with him. He had a smile on his face, which made Xia Fan a little confused. The company was clearly in such a state. Normally, Wei Mingjue would be extremely angry in such a situation, not like this.
"Xia Fan, go to Weimin Community to see Zou Yuqing. When you go, bring two meals with you. They should be light." After saying that, Wei Mingjue waved at Xia Fan to indicate that he could leave.
What was happening in the company right now was indeed not optimistic, but the fact that Zou Yuqing was re-tagged last night made him feel much better, which had been extremely bad.
He could still smell a faint minty scent, and Zou Yuqing's forbearing expression surfaced in his mind, making his smile grow wider. But he soon opened the personnel list again, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
After getting in the car, Xia Fan took a deep breath for a moment before starting the car. When Wei Mingjue asked him to buy a light meal and go to Zou Yuqing's house, he seemed to guess what had happened.
Liang Shu was right. Wei Mingjue was already obsessed with this Alpha. He could even laugh when such a big thing happened in the company. This was the first time he had seen such a thing.
Then he arrived at the Weimin Community and walked into the house he had frequently visited recently. He saw Zou Yuqing sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. Just as he was about to call his name, Xia Fan discovered the suppression patch on his gland that was oozing blood.
The guess in his heart was confirmed again, and Xia Fan pursed his lips.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Zou Yuqing said softly before he could say anything.
Xia Fan was stunned. Zou Yuqing had his back to him, so logically he shouldn't have known who was coming. But then he thought, it seemed like only he or Wei Mingjue had been coming over frequently lately, so Zou Yuqing inevitably accepted it.
As he was still thinking, Zou Yuqing turned his head. Xia Fan was startled by his pale face and dark circles under his eyes. This Alpha's condition seemed to be getting worse and worse. His eyes were bloodshot and his lips were chapped. He looked like he hadn't slept all night and didn't get enough rest.
The room was filled with a familiar scent—Wei Mingjue's vodka pheromone. This highly aggressive pheromone filled the small room with such force that he frowned upon entering.
He wanted to speak, but Zou Yuqing pointed at his marked gland with a blank look in his eyes and gave a self-deprecating smile, "Have you seen it? An Alpha's gland, like an Omega's. Ah... You should know, and you may have seen it before. This isn't the first time."
"Zou Yu..."
"You're also an Alpha, do you understand how I feel?" Zou Yuqing looked at Xia Fan, his eyes finally revealing some emotion called "sadness." "Xia Fan, what exactly do you want me to do? What do I have to do to make him let me go?"
Do you understand Zou Yuqing's feelings? Xia Fan suddenly didn't know how to respond. He thought that people were quite different from each other. He had liked Wei Mingjue for so many years and even thought about devoting himself to him, but Wei Mingjue had never had such an idea.
As for Zou Yuqing, it seemed that he easily attracted the person he had liked for many years, but he just wanted to escape.
So what should he say? Everything Zou Yuqing has now is just a luxury he wished for. But he could only hide the bitterness and resentment in his heart, looking at Zou Yuqing indifferently and saying, "Just accept it."
Do you accept it? Zou Yuqing gave a bitter laugh. Xia Fan didn't answer his question, but the answer appeared in that concise answer.
He could only accept it. Whether to let him go or not was always decided by Wei Mingjue, and he had no control at all.
"I've put the food here, one portion for each of you." After putting the food on the table, Xia Fan turned back just as he was about to leave. "Don't keep applying the inhibitor patch to your ruptured gland. It will cause inflammation. I'll..."
Before he could finish his words, his phone suddenly rang. Xia Fan took it out and saw Wei Mingjue's name. He glanced at Zou Yuqing and answered the call. He didn't know what he said to the other end of the line. After putting down the phone, he turned around and looked at Zou Yuqing again. "Boss Wei asked me to take you back to the villa. Come with me after you finish your meal."
"I don't have the right to refuse, right?" Zou Yuqing said, then laughed. "Yes, it has always been like this."
Listening to Zou Yuqing's words, Xia Fan felt a little uncomfortable. He said as if to refute: "Boss Wei is very good to you. He provides you with a job and takes care of your mother."
Zou Yuqing didn't say anything else. After a moment of silence, he stood up and took a meal to Xu Jie's room. Then he looked at Xia Fan and said, "Let's go."
Xia Fan had followed Wei Mingjue for so many years, like a loyal dog. How could he have thought of saying these things in front of Xia Fan? How could Xia Fan understand him? Is there anyone in the world who can understand him?
"Don't you want to eat?" Xia Fan asked, pointing to another meal.
Zou Yuqing shook his head. He wanted to vomit. The nauseating smell of alcohol filled his body. Wei Mingjue had marked him so harshly that it felt like he'd been sprayed with vodka. Within moments of getting in the car, the interior was filled with the disgusting pheromones.
He opened the window silently, and after the wind blew through him, his chaotic and depressed mood improved a little, and his mind became much clearer.
"I've taken a leave today. Now I'm just doing work. I'll make up for the leave tomorrow. I won't go to the company." Zou Yuqing didn't look at Xia Fan, but looked out the window.
The car was driving very fast and the scenery outside the window flashed by, leaving no memory of it.
"You need to talk to President Wei about this." Xia Fan didn't even look at Zou Yuqing. The two of them didn't make any eye contact, and the final result was still silence.
It took more than an hour to get from Weimin Community to Wei Mingjue's villa. When entering the villa, Wei Mingjue had not yet arrived home. Zou Yuqing changed into the slippers given by Xia Fan and went in.
"Mr. Wei will be here soon. You should sit down and rest first. I'll leave first." After saying that, Xia Fan nodded to Zou Yuqing and turned to leave.
Zou Yuqing sat expressionlessly on the sofa in the living room. At this moment, he had no time to answer various questions about the company, nor did he have the energy to look around to see how big Wei Mingjue's house was and how outrageous the gap between the rich and the poor was between them. He just wanted to end this absurdity quickly.
Suddenly, he heard a door on the second floor open, followed by two voices. His eyes widened as he saw a familiar figure.
"Zou Yuyang..."
