Addiction
A little after nine in the evening, Zou Yuqing escorted Xu Wang out of the complex and watched him get on the bus before turning back home. Whenever they met at his house, it was like this; they didn't go to a restaurant for drinks and chat like other friends, because he needed to take care of his mother, and Xu Wang never minded.
Wei Mingjue sat in the car and watched Zou Yuqing and a boy talking and laughing as they walked out of the community, feeling even more annoyed.
After leaving the breakfast shop in the morning, he went straight home instead of going to the company. After all, he had promised Wei Mingyu last night that he would let Zou Yuyang come home today, and he had to keep an eye on Zou Yuyang all the time - this annoying Alpha.
It wasn't until noon that Zou Yuyang cautiously entered the mansion. He really couldn't understand it. An Alpha was so timid and cowardly. Who knew where he got the courage to tag his younger brother and even get him pregnant? Every time he saw Zou Yuyang, he felt his teeth itching, and his expression when he looked at Wei Mingyu was extremely complicated.
It’s just that Wei Mingyu seems to really like Zou Yuyang. He pounced on this Alpha as soon as he saw him, which made Wei Mingjue even more annoyed. Wei Mingyu was not so excited to see him after returning from abroad. He didn’t expect that he would feel so missed by Zou Yuyang after just one day.
It was as if he was stuck in the middle, preventing a loving couple from meeting, like a bad guy.
"Brother, Yu Yang and I will go back to the room first."
Look, he's going into the room right after meeting. Is he treating him like air? The corners of Wei Mingjue's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to glare at the back that was stuck together in front of him, "Mingyu, I agreed to let him come here, but I didn't agree that you two can stay in the same space alone."
Satisfiedly watching the two people standing there in a daze, he continued, "Just sit in the living room today. Let me tell you, if anyone of you dares to release pheromones, don't blame me for being rude." After that, he walked past the two of them and sat on one side of the sofa, then looked straight at the two people who were still standing there and seemed to be hesitating.
"Brother, this is so embarrassing." Wei Mingyu's delicate eyebrows were knitted together, "We can't do anything else with you here."
"Anything else? What else do you want to do? Tell me." Wei Mingjue was so angry that he laughed. He wanted to do something else under his nose? What else could a lonely and widowed person do in the same space? Did he really think he was a gentle and kind brother?
Seeing this, Zou Yuyang finally spoke, "It's okay, Mingyu, let's just sit in the living room." As he spoke, he touched Wei Mingyu's hand to comfort her, then looked timidly at Wei Mingjue, "I'm sorry, President Wei, for causing you trouble."
"Oh, what trouble." Wei Mingjue wiped his face with his hand, as if he had heard something funny. But when he saw his brother looking at him with pleading eyes, he didn't say anything sarcastic in the end. Instead, he let out a breath, "How can it be a trouble? Sit down, why are you still standing there?"
As soon as he spoke, Wei Mingyu and Zou Yuyang walked to the sofa and sat down. Wei Mingjue couldn't help but feel like the dean of studies. These two people acted according to his instructions like students.
For a long time, the living room was silent, and the sound of the aunt cleaning upstairs was clear. Wei Mingjue glanced to the side and saw the young couple secretly holding hands and smiling at each other from time to time. The atmosphere around them was full of hidden and sweetness, which made him not want to look at them again.
"Let's talk about the engagement." Wei Mingjue put down his phone and looked at the two of them.
"Engagement?" Zou Yuyang became visibly panicked, and Wei Mingyu's eyes lit up.
Not living up to expectations.
"My brother is pregnant with your child, haven't you ever thought about marrying him?" Wei Mingjue frowned as he looked at the trembling Zou Yuyang, looking like a sheep seeing a wolf. But as a wolf, he just wanted to kill the sheep.
"No, I'm very happy to be marrying Mingyu." Zou Yuyang smiled awkwardly. He was undoubtedly very afraid of Wei Mingjue. He had assumed the Wei family looked down on him, but he hadn't expected them to discuss their engagement today. It seemed Zou Yuqing had handled the situation well this time. Furthermore, Wei Mingyu was devoted to him, so Wei Mingjue didn't dare touch him.
The result, of course, was a confirmed engagement. Looking at the loving look of the two people in front of him, Wei Mingjue felt it was an eyesore and didn't want to be in the same space with them in the afternoon. After giving some instructions, he went to the company. Finally, he wanted to see Zou Yuqing, so he drove to the outside of Weimin Community.
He has been seeing Zou Yuqing quite frequently recently, but whenever he feels irritated, he would think of this person, and it was as if he could smell the fragrance of mint again, calming his mind.
He had originally thought of not going in and would just wait outside the complex for a while before going home, but just as he was about to leave, he saw Zou Yuqing and a boy coming out. The boy looked very familiar, and it should be Xu Wang. When Zou Yuqing called out that name, he asked Xia Fan to investigate.
Xu Wang, an ordinary Beta, is Zou Yuqing's college classmate and good friend. His family is in the tobacco and alcohol business and runs a small shop near the university town.
Wei Mingjue didn't take a Beta seriously at all, but when he saw the two of them talking and laughing just now, he felt uncomfortable.
"Zou Yuqing." He spoke when Zou Yuqing was about to turn into the community.
The summer evening breeze was slightly dry. Hearing the familiar voice, Zou Yuqing froze, his whole body shivering. The wound Xu Wang had discovered that afternoon, which had apparently been numb, now prickled. He tried to pretend he hadn't heard it and hurried back into the neighborhood, but then he heard that devilish, deep voice again: "You don't want me to get out of the car and drag you in, do you?"
Even without the pheromone suppression, Zou Yuqing still felt a palpitation. He swallowed and turned to walk towards the man.
"Take the passenger seat."
Just as Zou Yuqing was about to open the back door, Wei Mingjue gave another order. Pursing his lips, he opened the passenger door and got in.
"What's going on again?" Zou Yuqing frowned and glared at Wei Mingjue, his beautiful day of healing from chatting with Xu Wang shattered. He'd told her hundreds of times not to look for him again, but this man hadn't heard a thing.
"Our company's administration department is short of people. Would you like to come for an internship? You can also work part-time on weekends after school starts." Wei Mingjue looked at Zou Yuqing. "The internship salary is 9,000 yuan a month, and the part-time salary is 500 yuan a day. It's not a busy job, much better than what you're doing at the supermarket."
Zou Yuqing didn't react for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he immediately refused, "No, do you feel sorry for me? Are all the things you've done recently trying to make up for it? It's okay, I'm also an Alpha, and what happened before won't have any impact on me. If you really feel sorry, please don't come to me again."
Is it really of no consequence? Zou Yuqing gritted his teeth and said this. As an Alpha, his dignity had been trampled upon.
Wei Mingjue raised his eyebrows. He never felt that he was sorry for anyone, let alone Zou Yuqing. He did all this purely to satisfy his own desires. He was interested in Zou Yuqing, so he had to use various methods to see Zou Yuqing.
"If you are worried about your mother, I will send someone to keep an eye on her." Although he found what Zou Yuqing said a little funny, Wei Mingjue did not refute and continued to talk to himself.
"I said no need, I'll get off first." After saying that, Zou Yuqing opened the car door.
Wei Mingjue quickly stuffed a business card into Zou Yuqing's trouser pocket, then said with a smile, "You can think about it again. This is my business card. Call me if you need anything."
How could he possibly need it? Zou Yuqing frowned and glanced at Wei Mingjue one last time, slammed the car door shut, and turned to walk into the residential complex.
After seeing Zou Yuqing, Wei Mingjue felt much better. He took a deep breath. The refreshing scent of Zou Yuqing still lingered in the carriage, becoming a good medicine to heal him. Recalling the look in Zou Yuqing's eyes, he became excited.
Yes, in addition to Zou Yuqing’s pheromones, that stubborn look also made him addicted.
