Chapter 105 You're Not My Husband?! (16) This is...
No sooner had the two elders of the Luo family left than Luo Ze received a report from Lin Xi.
He dropped everything he was doing and rushed back without hesitation.
Fu Li sat on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly ahead. At that moment, besides the lingering sorrow of humiliation, a terrifying question arose in his mind—
Why did Luo Ze's mother say, "Whether it's A Ran or A Ze"?
Shouldn't they not know the name Luo Ran? Didn't Luo Ze forget everything before he fell into a coma after the car accident?
A terrifying thought immediately surfaced in my mind---
Why was he so sure that Luo Ran and Luo Ze were the same person?
Has anyone ever said that Loze couldn't have a brother?
If that's the case, if that's the case... Beta's body began to tremble. He couldn't even imagine how terrible it would be if he had mistaken someone for someone else.
Just then, the sound of a car entering the parking lane came from outside the castle. A moment later, a tall, handsome, and travel-worn figure walked in.
Luo Ze's hair was a little messy. He took three steps at a time and went upstairs into the living room. Looking at Fu Li, who seemed to be in a daze, he suddenly felt heartache, as if a stone with sharp spikes was blocking his chest, causing a dense pain.
He quickly stepped forward and put his arm around the young man, asking carefully, "Ah Li, are you alright? Have my parents come by? Don't take anything they said to heart." He comforted him, his voice slightly hurried.
The next moment, the young man grabbed his arm, looked up, and revealed a very strange expression—shock mixed with disbelief. He then pushed the Alpha onto the sofa and frantically tore at his clothes.
Luo Ze stared wide-eyed, not understanding why he had suddenly acted like a madman.
Soon, Fu Li unbuttoned his suit jacket, pulled his shirt off his shoulders, and carefully examined the skin on his back. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a birthmark the size of a red bean on the back of his left shoulder, the mark and color exactly the same as he remembered.
"I was so scared! I thought I had mistaken someone for someone else."
Hearing Fu Li's suddenly relaxed tone, Luo Ze abruptly stopped.
Could it be that just now...?
He turned around, not even bothering to straighten his collar, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Li, what did my parents just say to you?"
Fu Li didn't notice anything amiss with him and was still worried that she had almost wronged her boyfriend, so she said, "It's nothing, it's just that my aunt said something like 'neither Ran nor Ze will let us be together.' I thought... sigh, never mind, I was being too sensitive."
He felt that Luo's mother was using "Luo Ran" to refer to the Luo Ze who hadn't lost his memory, implying that regardless of whether her son was the heir to a wealthy family, he had no chance. After all, even without returning to the Luo family, Luo Ran was still a top-tier Alpha.
“I know they’re unhappy that I’m a Beta. After all, families like yours usually raise excellent Alphas and Omegas, so that’s why they have this idea.”
"But I believe that as long as we truly love each other, we can still overcome obstacles, can't we?"
The young man gave a gentle smile.
But the man's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
My heart pounded violently in my chest, filled with worry, fear, and a sharp pain, accompanied by a faint sense of guilt. It took a while for the feeling to subside.
He casually straightened his clothes, put his mask back on with an air of nonchalance, and smiled at Fu Li, saying, "Yes, of course."
There was one thing Fu Li was unaware of---
Unlike other twins, Luo Ze and Luo Ran not only look alike, but even their birthmarks and moles are exactly the same. Even after being separated for ten years, they are still indistinguishable from each other in appearance and physical characteristics, as if they were each other's other half.
However, their pheromones are completely different.
However, this most fatal flaw was perfectly concealed by Fu Li's past as a Beta with glandular dysfunction, causing him to miss the closest he ever got to the truth.
That evening, after taking a shower, Luo Ze came out of the bathroom and looked at the empty bed. For some reason, he suddenly recalled the morning after the pseudo-sensitive period, when a slender figure sat on the edge of the bed, pulling the sheet over his shoulder, looking at him with a shy expression and a joyful and adoring gaze.
Not long has passed since that day, but Luo Ze's mindset has undergone a complete transformation.
He no longer rejected Fu Li, and even wanted to keep him by his side. He didn't want Fu Li to go to Luo Ran, and he didn't want to hear Fu Li say the words "A Ran" again.
Is this...something you like?
He didn't know either.
But today, one thought became crystal clear in his mind: he absolutely could not let Fu Li discover the truth.
If you want all of him, then just completely replace the person he loves.
As for the real Luo Ran, we just need to make sure he never appears again.
The next morning, Fu Li came out of her room and gave Luo Ze a kiss.
"Good morning, Aze." He had a sleepy look on his face, a relaxed smile, and a cheerful voice that could instantly lift anyone's spirits.
Luo Ze's lips curved slightly, a deep smile playing in his eyes. He lowered his head slightly to accept the light, gentle good morning kiss.
"Good morning." The voice was tired, with a slight hoarseness.
The atmosphere between the two had clearly changed. Lin Xi's expression hardened upon seeing this, and he clenched his hands slightly at his sides as he watched Luo Ze accompany the young man downstairs.
"I'm going to a cocktail party tonight, do you want to come?" Luo Ze asked Fu Li during breakfast.
The latter tilted his head. "What's it about?"
The man's expression was indifferent; his long, elegant fingers held a knife for spreading jam, while his other hand held a piece of soft, buttered bread. As he handed the jam-covered bread to Fu Li, he said:
"What it's about doesn't matter, do you want to come with me?"
"As a companion."
Fu Li thought for a moment, and realized this was a perfect opportunity to learn about his social circle. Maybe she could even use it to assert her dominance. She immediately nodded, her face full of anticipation: "I want to go!"
Luo Ze smiled and said okay, his smile deepening.
That evening, Beta put on the suit that Loze had prepared for him. The fabric was soft yet resilient, and also very stain-resistant; it was clearly made of an expensive material.
I took a car with Luo Ze to the largest hotel in the capital.
When he appeared side by side with the tall and handsome Alpha, almost everyone present focused their attention on them.
Lin Xi followed behind them, watching Fu Li secretly look around like a little animal surveying the unfamiliar environment, and his fingertips twitched slightly.
"Is that Beta next to Loze his assistant?"
"It doesn't look quite like it, but I feel like I've seen it before. Hmm, where is it?"
"Young Master Luo didn't even enter with Miss Vili, but instead brought a Beta. Isn't that strange?"
"Ah, I remember now. Last time I went to the Luo family's mansion with Shang Lu, I also saw a Beta there. It was him."
"Why is CEO Luo suddenly interested in Betas? I thought he was only interested in Omegas."
"Maybe not, what if she really is an assistant?"
Amidst the scrutinizing gazes of numerous socialites and powerful nobles, Fu Li followed Luo Ze into the banquet hall.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the self-service area not far away, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Luo Ze, holding a glass of red wine, saw the refined yet scoundrel-like man walking towards him and whispered in Fu Li's ear, "I might need to talk to someone else. If you'd like, you can go somewhere else first."
The latter nodded obediently and headed straight for the self-service area like a little hamster.
Watching his resolute departing figure, Luo Ze almost chuckled, a smile already playing on his lips without him even realizing it. The man who approached him patted his shoulder and said:
"Aze, what are you looking at? I heard your Beta is still here. When are you going to get tired of him? I still have a bet with Shang Lu."
Luo Ze stopped smiling, straightened his back, and his eyes were cold and distant, reflecting the teasing expression on the other person's face.
"There are no such plans at present."
Judging from his serious tone, the man looked surprised: "Really? You've really fallen for her? This isn't good for Lilith, is it?"
Luo Ze remained silent, subtly shifting his gaze. His eyes unconsciously searched for the slender figure, finally landing on Beta at a banquet table. Beta held a cake, adopting an air of arrogance, a smile playing on his lips as the stranger before him launched into a long, rambling conversation. He looked like he was being forced into a business.
"By the way, weren't you looking for Lilith to talk to? She's over there."
As Alpha pointed, Loze saw the woman standing on the second floor. She was wearing an evening gown and holding a uniquely shaped wine glass, which she raised to him.
Luo Ze nodded and then followed him.
Lilith sought him out for business matters. The two had previously disagreed on a detail, and they decided to take advantage of the party to discuss it again. Lilith asked the waiter to book a private room for their conversation.
The thick door effectively blocked out the noise from downstairs. However, as they were talking, Luo Ze suddenly felt a dry mouth and a burning sensation in his face, and no amount of water could solve the problem.
Sitting opposite him, Lilith keenly noticed the increasingly agitated pheromones in the air. Her slender brows furrowed as she asked, "Didn't you take any suppressants before you came?"
Luo Ze's face looked terrible, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I've already taken the medicine, but... it seems like it's the peak season for infection."
Lilith understood the seriousness of the problem and immediately stood up from her chair.
Each hormonal surge is difficult for an Alpha. Top-tier Alphas like Loze require special inhibitors to barely suppress their hormone flare-ups.
He had always managed to get through each susceptible period on his own with the help of suppressants, but he had never had a flare-up outside before.
It must be a chain reaction triggered by the time I was drugged and experienced a false period of susceptibility. But it's too late to understand now.
The pheromones in the air grew stronger, the energy seeming to boil over. Thinking of herself as the other person's fiancée, Lilith asked, "Do you need my help?"
Premarital relationships are perfectly normal for eligible AOs, but Luo Ze gritted his teeth, his face turning red, and said in a low voice, "No need. Please leave as soon as possible."
A top-tier Alpha's pheromones during their fertile period can trigger nearby Omegas to also enter their fertile period the instant they erupt.
Seeing that he remained steadfast even in this state, Lilith had no choice but to leave.
The bodyguards from the Vili and Luo families guarding outside the door had already sensed something was wrong. When the door opened, an overwhelming wave of pheromones revealed everything.
The bodyguard who had come with Luo Ze immediately went inside and asked, "Mr. Luo, there are spare emergency suppressants in the car. Would you like us to bring them up?"
Despite the bulging veins on Luo Ze's forehead, he still managed to maintain a sliver of rationality and said, "No need, go find Fu Li."
Author's Note: The battle between the main characters is likely to begin in about three chapters (the younger brother is coming back). But before that, let the older brother have some fun first.
