Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The Lu family's courtyard, gatehouse...
The gatehouse of the Lu family's courtyard is not prominent.
There are several tall sycamore trees planted at the door, providing a cool green shade.
Aunt Yu was very happy when she heard the sound of a car engine outside the house. She thought it must be Lu Yanlin who had returned. He had not been home for half a month. He said he was on a business trip, but he was probably avoiding Old Lady Yan.
Lu Yanlin's mother, Ms. Yan Qiong, moved to the mansion to live with them because of illness.
When Ms. Yan Qiong divorced her husband at a young age, she was seriously ill and in debt. She refused to bow to her parents and worked hard to build a huge family business from scratch.
Such a strong-willed person, when he was old and unemployed at home, felt lonely and began to feel sorry for his son.
The reason was that she discovered that Lu Yanlin actually used inhibitors to get through the fever period.
In Yan Qiong's eyes, this was like a bolt from the blue.
Lu Yanlin is precocious and has been a top student since childhood. He is extremely sensible and outstanding. He was brought up by his grandparents who have been teachers for many years. He has acquired a square and rigorous character and is extremely stable.
The year Yan Qiong graduated from university, his career suffered a devastating blow. Not only did his years of business suffer losses overnight, he was also implicated and imprisoned. He had no one to tell. At that time, his grandparents, who had always loved Lu Yanlin, also passed away one after another.
Orphans and widows have no one to rely on.
Yan Qiong, who had been a powerful figure for half his life, was extremely anxious in prison, worried about his son's situation, and suddenly looked ten years older.
But not long after, Lu Yanlin came to visit her. Through the glass, the glory of his youth was all restrained, and he was simple and ordinary. Only his eyes were sharp, like cold stars. His face was cold and tired, and he told Yan Qiong calmly and indifferently that he had found the key witness and Yan Qiong would be released from prison soon.
Yan Qiong was ecstatic at the time. After being released, she was devoted to revenge against her enemies and didn't care about Lu Yanlin. It was only later that she learned from others that Lu Yanlin was already married.
She was extremely busy at that time and didn't think too much about it.
Now she had to think about it: if she had not fallen on hard times, how could her son, who was handsome, capable and outstanding in every way, marry a nobody who only graduated from high school at such a young age?
From what I've observed during this period, it seems that Lu Yanlin and the Alpha's marriage is just a facade.
I heard from Aunt Yu that Lu Yanlin would rather use inhibitors than live with that Alpha.
The Alpha who could make his dignified and steady son disgusted to this extent must be extremely disgusting.
Yan Qiong, who is also an omega, understands this feeling too well.
In a marriage that you hate, breathing the same air with your partner is a great torture.
It’s better not to get married like this.
She couldn't bear to see her son's lifelong happiness being ruined just because of a sense of responsibility.
Yan Qiong wanted to find out Lu Yanlin's thoughts, but Lu Yanlin was away on business for half a month.
That Alpha probably heard the news and hid away from everyone. He hasn't returned to the mansion yet, leaving Lu Zhi, a small child, at home.
Such irresponsible behavior, coupled with the cause and effect, and all kinds of rumors, she had not even met the Alpha in person, but her impression of him had already plummeted to the bottom.
But today was a coincidence. Yan Qiong's best friend returned to China and brought her son to visit her.
When the three of them were sitting in the living room talking, Aunt Yu came out to deliver some fruit and said happily, "Madam, Yan Lin is back."
Yan Qiong was very happy in her heart, but she was harsh in front of outsiders and said coldly: "He still knew to come back."
The young man sitting next to Yan Qiong was tall and handsome. He laughed and said, "Oh, you're home. Brother Yan Lin must be so eager to go home that he can't wait to fly back."
Yan Qiong snorted. Everyone likes to hear nice words, and her expression softened a little.
The young man stood up and said excitedly: "I'll go open the door for Brother Yan Lin."
Xin Mihe opened the door.
The lingering shade of summer's greenery ushers in the midsummer of Bincheng.
A tall and slender figure blocked the sunlight, and swept over like a pair of cold eyes from an ancient pond, with a bit of inhuman coldness.
Xin Mihe was stunned. The man in front of him, who was tall and long-legged with an indifferent face and looked like a model from Time magazine, was an out-and-out omega.
To be a little feudal and old-fashioned, all the words used in the past to describe strong A can be applied to Lu Yanlin without any discount.
"Yan...Brother Yanlin!"
Next to him stood a child with a powerful aura. His temperament was like a miniature version of Lu Yanlin, with the appearance of a completely angelic baby, with a lovely appearance, red lips and white teeth. However, his words were so cold that they could make ice chips fall off: "Who are you? The new nanny?"
Xin Mihe: "..."
Lu Yanlin said calmly, "Lu Zhi."
The child's face darkened, and one could vaguely tell that he was not very happy to begin with.
He looked up at Lu Yanlin, and reluctantly stretched out a hand towards Xin Mihe. Then, his expression changed, revealing a super cute, sweet, and warm smile: "I'm sorry, uncle. Hello, my name is Lu Zhi."
Xin Mihe quickly squatted down and enthusiastically pinched Lu Zhi's chubby little hand: "Xiaozhi, you are so good. I am a friend who grew up with your father. You can call me Brother Mihe~"
After Lu Zhi shook hands with him, he looked up at Lu Yanlin and waited for Lu Yanlin to nod.
He quickly withdrew his hand, quickly regained his expressionless face, and walked into the house with his small schoolbag on his back.
Xin Mihe was shocked.
Lu Yanlin frowned and glanced in Lu Zhi's direction: "He's not in a good mood today."
Xin Mihe joked: "There's so much pressure on kindergartens in China now!"
He opened his arms, his eyes sparkling in the sunlight, and a smile played on his thin lips: "Brother, long time no see, did you miss me~"
Lu Yanlin raised a faint smile and patted his shoulder: "I'm glad you're back."
Xin Mihe followed behind him: "Brother Yanlin, we've been apart for a long time, and you're so serious that you didn't even hug me!"
The two of them chatted and laughed all the way back to the living room. Mrs. Xin stood up gently and hugged Lu Yanlin first, looking at him left and right, showing great love.
"I haven't seen you for five years. You've become more and more mature. Was that Xiaozhi who ran up just now? Such a cute child, but he didn't look very happy."
Ms. Yan Qiong snorted coldly when she heard this: "Two adults are away from home all day long. The child is very sensitive at this time. How can he be in a good mood after not seeing the adults for more than ten days?"
Her tone was so fierce that Xin Mihe and Mrs. Xin didn't dare to respond.
Lu Yanlin, however, remained unaffected. His expression remained calm as he poured a cup of tea for Ms. Yan Qiong, Mrs. Xin, and the others. His politeness was impeccable: "It's my problem."
His submissive behavior neutralized Ms. Yan Qiong's temper and prevented her from venting her anger.
But she still felt sorry for her son. Lu Yanlin only said a few words to them, and Ms. Yan Qiong urged him with a cold face to change his clothes and have a rest.
After Lu Yanlin left, Ms. Yan Qiong sighed again and complained to her bestie: "What did he do wrong? He's so busy with work."
"That guy called Jin Man hasn't been home for more than ten days and doesn't take care of the children."
Mrs. Xin narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "How old is Lu Zhicai? They are still a young couple. Maybe they just had a quarrel."
Mrs. Yan: "Hmph, a quarrel, I think it means separation, but if that's the case, I'll be relieved."
The two omegas were whispering to each other, and Xin Mihe, an Alpha, couldn't stand listening in. He admired the interior decoration of the house. The Lu family mansion had changed hands before, and after Lu Yanlin bought it back, he hired someone to redesign and renovate it.
The layout that Xin Mihe had seen when he was a child had changed, but the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the living room were still the same.
He walked up the stairs of memory to the second floor. The corridor originally hung with a large freehand ink painting by Lu Yanlin's grandmother, but now it was replaced by a watercolor children's painting. The brushstrokes were childish, but the painting was very good.
Lu Yanlin opened the door and came out, having changed into home clothes. He was no longer so aloof, but rather casual, with the car keys in his hand.
Xin Mihe saw it and asked in surprise: "Brother Yanlin, are you going out?"
There were guests at home, and it was not in line with Lu Yanlin's character to go out at this time.
"Well, go pick someone up."
Lu Yanlin didn't deny it and turned to go downstairs. Xin Mihe was a little curious about who that person was, so he followed him and said, "Um...Brother Yanlin, you finally got a break, don't drive while you're tired. I'll drive with you."
He came closer, Lu Yanlin frowned and touched the back of his neck.
Xin Mihe only then realized that there was a light silver suppression patch on the back of his neck. That was the most private and vulnerable part of an omega. He felt a little embarrassed and stepped back, looking away.
Only OA during the sensitive period needs to be treated with suppression patches.
But Lu Yanlin didn't have any symptoms of being susceptible to the disease, most likely to avoid suspicion. Xin Mihe felt a little disappointed. He hadn't been back home for a long time, and the two of them had become a little distant, but he didn't show it. He pleaded like a little tail: "I just got a tranquilizer yesterday, there's absolutely no problem. I'll go with Brother Yanlin."
Lu Yanlin couldn't get rid of him, so he checked the time and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two men said goodbye to Yan Qiong and left.
Yan Qiong looked at the two of them, one of them was cold and the other was enthusiastic, and suddenly some ideas came to her mind.
Lu Yanlin's personality is most like his grandfather's. To put it nicely, he is rigorous, but to put it bluntly, he is old-fashioned. Once he gets married, it's for life, and he will never easily ask for divorce.
He can live his life with a calm heart and no waves.
But Lu Yanlin's dull personality should be matched with an Alpha who is considerate, gentle and generous.
What about Jin Man?
Ms. Yan Qiong thought so, but she couldn't get over the thought of instigating her son to divorce, so she could only think about it and remain silent.
Xin Mihe drove along the winding mountain road: "Brother Yanlin, where are we going?"
Lu Yanlin's phone just happened to ring. He looked at the text message: "Just to the peach tree in front."
The two drove along the road for a while, but there was only a plastic bag under the peach tree. He was just wondering when he heard Lu Yanlin call for a stop. Xin Mihe hurriedly braked, but saw no one. He unclipped his seatbelt and got down with Lu Yanlin.
Lu Yanlin walked under a peach tree and looked up.
Only then did Xin Mihe notice that an Alpha was struggling to climb atop a thick branch of a peach tree. A gentle breeze ruffled his sweat-soaked hair, and sweat dripped down the tip of his straight nose. His cheeks were flushed, probably from the sun, and beneath the dense greenery of the tree, his eyes were filled with surprise. "Lu Yanlin?"
Xin Mihe's eyes widened. It turned out that this person was Yan Lin's Alpha partner.
His eyes suddenly became sharp.
Xin Mihe thought that any Alpha who could get to Lu Yanlin must be at least at the level of a disaster-stricken person.
But no matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary Alpha, and doesn't match his brother at all.
"Brother, this is too dangerous."
Lu Yanlin had a calm expression as he looked at the Alpha in the green shade, his heart remaining calm.
The wind is as cool as snow, blowing the corners of my clothes.
He opened his arms toward Jin Man, but said, "Come down slowly."
"immediately."
Jin Man's eyes were bright and he pursed the corners of his lips to smile.
