Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Jin Man actually smelled Omega...
Jin Man actually smelled the Omega's pheromones. He was very surprised. The last time Lu Yanlin released pheromones in front of him was three months ago.
That is, they haven't done it for three months.
Jin Man was ill and temporarily unable to mark the combination, so he kept it a secret from Lu Yanlin. In addition, Lu Yanlin was very independent and liked to use inhibitors, so there was no need for him to do it.
He hadn't anticipated this.
So, now what does this pheromone mean?
Jin Man has always been bold and a thought came to his mind: Lu Yanlin might be using pheromones to seduce him...
No, absolutely not.
This thought was quickly suppressed.
When they first got married, Jin Man liked to stick to Lu Yanlin. He was not the kind of Alpha who had a strong sense of propriety and distance. He would go to the company to have dinner with Lu Yanlin every day, go out to the movies and go on dates after work. Even though they lived in the same building, he would sit with Lu Yanlin shoulder to shoulder, and release his pheromones openly. He liked that feeling of intimacy.
Lu Yanlin didn't say anything about this, but he was on business trips more often, and when he was away he had no news at all. He would just call Aunt Yu every night to ask about Lu Zhi's situation.
Jin Man scratched his head, not understanding what was going on, but Aunt Yu reminded him calmly.
Some Omegas don't like pheromone bonding. Besides, Alphas have to focus on their careers, so how can they stick to their partners every day?
Jin Man slapped his forehead and finally understood that no one wants an Alpha without ambition!
He actively looked for a job, learned skills, and eventually found a good job in a cafe.
Jin Man puts all his passion into work. After a hard day's work, he comes home and pinches Lu Zhi's face with his rough hands, bullying him until he bursts into tears. Then he picks up the little boy with a guilty look on his face to comfort him.
He is actually quite afraid of being lonely, so most of his friends are of this type, a group of enthusiastic and generous people who share discount coupons and sales techniques with him. Occasionally, when they are free, it is inevitable that you invite me to your house for dinner, and I invite you to my house for dinner. Often, when it is time to get off work, he is still unable to go home because of one thing or another.
Lu Yanlin never urged him. Occasionally, when he called back to Lu Mansion and said guiltily that he could not get off work on time, he would not get angry. He would just ask the driver to pick him up.
Jin Man leaned on the bar counter and said, "But today... I might not leave the store."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, the man said with a half-smile: "Jin Man, I don't think I'm so poor that I need you to work two jobs to make a living."
Jin Man whispered: "Don't be angry."
He explained that it was an important matter, so Lu Yanlin did not continue to pester him and just asked him to tell the driver where he wanted to go.
But Jin Man hesitated and finally only gave the address of a bus stop.
He goes out early and comes back late every day. He always takes a shower as soon as he gets home, and secretly goes to the bathroom to answer the phone.
Aunt Yu looked at him with a strange look in her eyes, but Jin Man didn't realize it. After work, he and his colleagues sneaked out through the back door.
With a clear purpose, the two people took a taxi to an abandoned factory in the suburbs and climbed over the wall to get in.
Not long after, a low-key black car stopped outside the factory. The window slowly rolled down, revealing a pair of cold star-like eyes.
The person in charge of the factory received the call and waited early in the morning, opening the door for this important person with great trepidation.
The person in charge had never seen a scene in a TV drama where bodyguards in black clothes cleared the way.
The powerful man looked unusually young. They walked quietly to the outside of a utility room and heard intermittent conversations inside.
"Let me do it."
"Forget it, I'll do it. It smells. Take off your clothes first."
There was the rustling sound of clothes being taken off, the intermittent sound of water, and the indistinct moans of a third person.
The big man's expression was always calm. He slowly took off his tie, wrapped it around his hand, and then waved gently.
The bodyguards and the person in charge retreated ten meters away and turned their backs.
The door opened with a click. Jin Man turned around when he heard the sound and saw Lu Yanlin, who was wearing a white suit and had creepy black eyes.
He was shirtless, holding a spatula, and had just started lighting the stove, while his colleague was sitting on the bed, sweating profusely, doing rehabilitation training for a hemiplegic man.
Jin Man exclaimed in surprise: "Lu Yanlin?"
The man swept through the mess in the room, was silent for a moment, then turned and left.
Jin Man hurriedly chased after him and got into the car with him. On the way back, he confessed with a serious face: "The guy just now is my friend. He was injured in an accident on the construction site. He has no insurance and no compensation. His parents are dead and his daughter is still in elementary school."
Lu Yanlin raised his eyelids and said, "So because other people's families are broken up, you are so enthusiastic that you even give up your own family."
He smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold: "Lu Zhi hasn't seen you for a week."
This probably also includes Lu Yanlin.
This time it was Jin Man's turn to remain silent. He felt sad and guilty. He scratched his head and said carefully: "He helped me find my first job when I first came to the city... I was planning to tell you one of these days that I was wrong about what happened at home. Please don't be angry with me."
After he apologized, he seemed to hear a sigh in his ears. It was so light that he was not sure if it was an illusion.
The next day, Lu Yanlin's assistant recommended a lawyer to Jin Man. Jin Man took him to meet his friend. The lawyer was very professional and quickly gave a solution after understanding the situation.
My friend had little confidence: "I was fooled and didn't keep the key evidence."
The lawyer was very relaxed: "Don't worry, just leave these matters to me. I have already contacted the hospital, and your child will be temporarily entrusted to a nearby private kindergarten. You just need to wait for the results."
My friend was stunned. He had never heard of a lawyer so professional and versatile. "Then the litigation fees are..."
He was prepared to hear a sky-high price, but the lawyer adjusted his glasses, smiled slightly, and symbolically accepted a few thousand dollars.
With the help of a lawyer, they contacted relevant government officials, professionally sorted out the entire process, and successfully collected evidence, exposed the case, and held those responsible accountable. The previously arrogant Housing and Construction Company, in a humiliating move, went to the hospital and begged its friend for a settlement, paying the compensation at an alarming rate.
The matter was resolved quite quickly.
Jin Man is famous among those people. They all say that he has courage and can handle things, and he has a super powerful lawyer friend.
He suddenly had more friends, and there were people asking him for help every day, so Jin Man had to run home on time as soon as he got off work, just like an alarm clock.
There are some dinner invitations that he really cannot refuse, but he will never agree to them, and he will never drink.
Aunt Yu teased him about being a busy man, and he stammered, not knowing what to say.
However, Jin Man's friend had a lot of self-respect. After being discharged from the hospital, he called Jin Man and insisted on treating him to a meal, asking him to pass on the huge compensation he got from the lawsuit as his attorney's fees.
Jin Man couldn't refuse at all, so she stayed with him all night, drank some wine, and returned home in the middle of the night with a red face.
Lu Yanlin had fallen asleep long ago. He sneaked in and crawled under the quilt. Just as he stretched out his hand, he was restrained with such force that he cried out in pain.
The quilt was lifted, and the light was cold and dim.
The Alpha with red ears was lying in the quilt. He made a confused sound of "eh" and smiled shyly at Lu Yanlin, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, and pressed his palm against his.
"Someone gave it to you."
He looked a little proud, holding a red banner in his hand with Lu Yanlin's name written in large gold letters.
"He said you were a good person and asked me to thank you and your lawyer."
Jin Man couldn't remember what happened in the end that night. When he woke up the next day, there was a tooth mark on his ear.
Lu Yanlin took an early flight on a business trip, and the two did not meet until more than half a month later. By then, Jin Man had completely forgotten about the matter. He went to work seriously, and his time at home gradually increased.
Lu Yanlin never said anything about this. When his friends came to Lu Mansion, he arranged high-end banquets and hotels for them, and was very polite and considerate.
His relationship with his friends became better and better, but that period was also the time when Jin Man and Lu Yanlin first encountered problems in their relationship.
Jin Man couldn't hide what was going on, so he asked Lu Yanlin directly: "Don't you like my friends?"
Lu Yanlin didn't shy away. He was silent for a moment, then flipped through the book in his hand. His white fingertips seemed to smell like books. He said calmly, "When making friends, the more lively the better. You should also take a look at their character, right?"
Aunt Yu said while mopping the floor: "Yes, yes, that kind of quality..."
Jin Man wasn't the type of Alpha to yell at his partner. When he was criticized for his friend's bad character, he just tried desperately to recall the details. When he came up empty-handed, he pursed his lips, scratched the back of his head, and said, "They're not bad people..."
Not long after that, Lu Mansion was robbed. Aunt Yu came out to get some water late at night and saw a sneaky figure in the living room. She was almost scared to death and quickly called the police.
The thief was caught by Jin Man before he could run out of the Lu family mansion.
He bravely pinned the man to the ground and did not let go even after his head was hit. He took off the hood with great effort and found that it was someone he knew.
The police arrived quickly, arrested the man and interrogated him overnight. They found out that the strong man had copied the key to Lu Mansion at some point and sneaked in at night to steal things.
Not only did he steal it, he even damaged a painting of Lu Yanlin's grandmother. Not to mention how much Lu Yanlin liked that painting, it was one of the few treasures left by the deceased old lady, and it was destroyed by such a person!
Of course, this matter has to be blamed on Jin Man. He made the wrong friends and ended up scaring his whole family to death.
Jin Man beat up the other person and finally took back the painting. He sat outside the gate with his head drooped. Although he could not understand landscape paintings, he could understand the value of the large freehand painting. What should he do?
Lu Yanlin still said nothing. He strengthened security and comforted Lu Zhi. From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at Jin Man.
Jin Man was dejected and sad, not knowing what to do. From then on, he never brought any friends home again, and he became more cautious when facing Lu Yanlin.
But this unfamiliar way of getting along actually made the relationship between the two people a little better.
The further away he was from Lu Yanlin and the more polite he was to her, the better the atmosphere in this family became. This was probably what novels often describe as mutual respect.
So besides attracting a mate, what else can pheromones be used for?
Jin Man racked his brains and recalled the pheromone field that he heard his teacher say in a half-awake state in high school physiology class.
He suddenly realized that Lu Yanlin was probably hinting at letting him go.
Jin Man quickly slipped out from Lu Yanlin's arms, and was so embarrassed that he could hardly speak clearly.
He guarded his pheromones tightly, not letting even a little bit leak out, and said to Lu Yanlin: "Um, Aunt Yu sent it up, and I thought I'd apologize to you, so I came in. I'm really sorry about what happened to Auntie today. Can you tell me when I can buy something for her to apologize."
Lu Yanlin didn't move. After a moment, he retracted his arm and sat on the sofa, propping up his long legs. He seemed to be indifferent: "No, she doesn't need it."
Jin Manren had already walked to the door. After he stood outside, he could no longer smell the pheromone, so he relaxed and put his hands in his jacket pockets. "Yes, I have a bad temper sometimes, so it's okay to just go along with her."
Lu Yanlin was silent for a moment. After a moment, he seemed to take a deep breath and said calmly, "She doesn't like Alphas and can be too harsh sometimes."
Jin Manxin thought there was another reason for this, and nodded in understanding: "Okay, next time we argue, I'll give in to her."
After that, he had nothing more to say, so he closed the door and left.
Aunt Yu was still waiting downstairs and asked him what was wrong. Of course, Jin Man couldn't answer. He didn't even stare at Lu Yanlin using the spray. He was impatient with the questioning and just nodded perfunctorily.
Aunt Yu was a little worried, so she knocked on the door cautiously while delivering the medicine.
Lu Yanlin was still awake, having already removed the suppression patch. His eyes were a dark, somewhat creepy color. He was holding a white towel and calmly wiping his hair. He didn't seem impatient, but his tone was cold: "What's wrong again?"
Aunt Yu stammered, "Hey, I forgot to take the medicine to reduce the swelling. I need to apply it so I can sleep better."
She had sharp eyes and caught a glimpse of the towel on the sofa. It was the one she used to wipe Jin Man's hair. She suddenly felt overwhelmed. How could such a dirty thing be placed in Yan Lin's room?
But Lu Yanlin looked to be in a bad mood, and Aunt Yu didn't dare to step on his landmine. This child has been serious since childhood, and if he did something wrong, he would be alienated by him without knowing when. She closed the door awkwardly and pretended not to see it.
Jin Man went back and fell asleep immediately. All his worries and sorrows went through his stomach and were digested. He didn't even have a dream and slept obediently under the quilt until dawn.
When he was a child, his relatives often scolded him as a fool and a brainless idiot because he was heartless. They would laugh while scolding him, and after laughing, they would take out fifty cents and give it to Jin Man, telling him to go buy some popsicles.
Jin Man opened his eyes and woke up. The creaking sound outside the window almost made him think he was back home.
He climbed up and opened the window, looked around, saw no one, and jumped out of the window.
He was surprised to find that the hen had laid an egg, a white egg, but unfortunately it was stained with chicken droppings.
…
After Jin Man finished washing up, he went to the kitchen. Aunt Yu asked him quickly, "Jin Man, how do you want to cook this egg?"
Jin Man poked his head in. He was wearing a gray-blue denim jacket and a white vest. His hair was shaved short and there was a dimple at the corner of his mouth when he pursed his lips. He looked very refreshing.
Jin Man said, "Auntie Yu, how about making a steamed egg for Ms. Yan?"
Jin Man took out a plate from the cupboard, cracked the eggs with one hand, added water and salt, put it on the steamer, wiped off the water marks, and made air holes. His movements were smooth and flowing, rough yet delicate.
"Manman, you don't know yet."
Jin Man closed the lid and asked, "What do you know?"
Aunt Yu closed the door and lowered her voice, saying, "Mrs. Yan left early this morning."
Jin Man stood up in a flash, completely frightened: "He left. When did he leave? Why didn't anyone tell me? Where is Lu Yanlin?"
Aunt Yu: "She left at seven this morning. Yan Lin personally saw her off. I heard she's staying at Lakeside Villa. The hot springs there are famous and good for your health."
Jin Man's breath got stuck in his throat. After thinking it over, he realized that he had misunderstood. He looked at Aunt Yu with a helpless smile. She was talking as if someone had died.
But this news was also shocking. It looked like the old man was going to stay for a long time, so how could he suddenly run away?
Aunt Yu said to Jin Man, "Look, Yan Lin treats you so well that he doesn't want you to suffer even a little bit like an elder."
Jin Manya felt sad. He felt that Aunt Yu was really self-satisfied and didn't understand Lu Yanlin well enough.
Lu Yanlin was probably afraid that if he stayed any longer, Old Lady Yan would get sick from his anger.
He stared at the steaming pot while eating his buns.
Lu Yanlin came back quickly and went upstairs to wake up Lu Zhi. Today was a weekday and Lu Zhi still had to go to school, so the three of them sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.
Aunt Yu made both Western and Chinese breakfasts.
The things made by Jinman are different from those made by Aunt Yu. The materials used are very random, and you can tell at a glance.
In the past, he often cooked to feed Lu Yanlin, and he liked the steaming hot pot. But one time, he secretly went to his company to find him and found that he had given the meal to his assistant. Since then, Jin Man has stopped cooking.
The food he cooked was very rough, with thick oil and sauce, and it was very bold. It went well with rice but the taste was too monotonous and did not suit Lu Yanlin's appetite.
They have been eating this kind of food since they were young. Jin Man did not change Lu Yanlin, nor did he change his own ideas. He was just angry that Lu Yanlin did not tell him directly. Is he a stingy person?
Jin Man felt disappointed. He couldn't hide what was in his heart, so he forced himself to hold it back and never said it again.
After that, he would only cook if Lu Zhi was sick, like today, or if Lu Yanlin was sick, and he was desperate to find a cure but couldn't do anything.
Lu Zhi glanced at the soup bowl and quietly put down the spoon.
