Chapter 121 You're not my husband?! (32) They've already become...
Five minutes later, Fu Li pushed open the door to the master bedroom. A slightly raised human figure on the bed slowly sat up, asking in a slightly hoarse voice as if just waking up, "Ah Li, where did you go just now?"
Fu Li paused for a moment, then calmly replied, "Go downstairs and get a glass of water."
There was a moment of silence on the other side. After the young man quietly climbed onto the bed, he stretched out his strong arms and pulled him into his embrace. A sweet and alluring pheromone wafted down the young man's neck and into his nostrils, carrying the familiar yet extremely intimidating scent of gardenias, like a silent provocation.
The Alpha, who was extremely sensitive to the pheromones of his own kind, and even his rivals, only tensed his muscles for a fleeting moment before relaxing again, a tension so subtle that even the Beta in his arms could hardly notice. His eyes were wide open, showing no sign of sleepiness, his gaze passing over Fu Li's soft, dark hair and looking into the distance, as if casting a dark green light in the darkness.
His eyes were sharp and deep, brimming with murderous intent.
The next day was a bright and sunny day, with blue skies, white clouds, and birds chirping leisurely. At the entrance of the Luo residence, Lilith stood shoulder to shoulder with Luo Ran, a sweet smile on her face. Fu Li, arm in arm with Luo Ze, her slender and upright figure bowing politely to them. If one ignored the unspoken undercurrent between the two Alphas, they truly resembled a pair of pleasingly matched lovers.
After seeing his younger brother off, Luo Ze's gaze followed the direction the car had driven away until it was far from the gate. A barely perceptible hint of disgust and sharpness seeped into his usually deep eyes.
Turning to the person beside her, her expression instantly returned to calm, and she said softly, "Ah Li, let's go back."
Upon hearing this, Fu Li raised her eyes, her gaze gentle and yielding: "Okay." Her eyes were clear and pure, filled with tenderness.
Luo Ze lowered his head, smiled slightly, and touched the young man's forehead with the tip of his nose. The two chatted and laughed as they turned and went back inside.
----
"Investigate!" Inside the study, the walls blocked out all outside noise, concealing everything within. "Find out exactly how Luo Ran and Fu Li met, how their relationship started, and so on!"
Luo Ze's tone was filled with a chilling intent. He stood up and paced back and forth, issuing orders. In the reflection of his face in the glass window, his brows were furrowed as if they were about to burst into a knot, his expression ferocious, completely devoid of his usual calm and collected demeanor.
Even after hanging up the phone, Luo Ze was still furious. His eyes were wide open, and he was staring intently at the empty desk, as if he wanted to pierce through someone's body.
He already knew that Luo Ran would never compromise. The struggle for power within the Luo family had reached its final moment, and the outcome would only be a fight to the death.
Moreover, there's also Fu Li---
His Ali---
His disgusting younger brother still coveted his Beta. That night... what happened that night, Luo Ze dared not think too deeply about. But he was absolutely certain of one thing: Fu Li's body was tainted with someone else's scent, it was Luo Ran's pheromones.
Ali is a Beta and can't smell anything, but Luo Ze can clearly sense the deep possessiveness and uncontrollable desire within her.
This is the Luo family's territory, Luo Ze's territory. How dare Luo Ran do this?!
Alpha rubbed his throbbing forehead, his surging pheromones filling every corner of the room. Yet he dared not question Fu Li, nor let anyone know. He only wanted to find out everything about his past with Luo Ran.
Although he didn't know what the point of doing this was, it was his only thought at that moment.
They had no children, and he couldn't live without Ali.
The violent pheromones gradually faded, and the man sat back at his desk, closed his eyes, and a look of dejection appeared between his brows, revealing his extreme fatigue.
----
“The Vili family already owns 9% of the Luo family's shares, and with the shares held by your uncles and aunts on the board of directors, it's enough to compete with Luo Ze. If we can persuade your parents and get their shares, the success rate of replacing the chairman will reach 80%.” The woman's slender, fair fingers danced across a series of data, her sweet voice tinged with a high-spirited tone, revealing her great mood.
"Congratulations on becoming the head of the Luo family." Lilith handed him the tablet, which the man opposite her took and glanced at briefly, but there was no joy on his face.
"I'll talk to them. Thank you for your hard work these past few days." Luo Ran's expression was calm, even carrying a hint of coldness.
The woman smiled warmly, her gentle beauty like a spring flower. "It's nothing, we're just having a pleasant collaboration."
"But don't be too happy yet. Your brother is not someone to be trifled with. After being in charge of the Luo family for so many years, he must have a few trump cards up his sleeve. We still need to be careful in dealing with him."
Luo Ran didn't speak. His gaze was fixed on the string of numbers on the white screen, but it was as if he was looking at something else, and he didn't look away for a long time.
If he could, he wouldn't care about the Luo family's background or wealth, but he absolutely couldn't let go of Ali!
On the other side, Fu Li, who had just finished a "post-meal exercise," lay on the bed, his eyes glazed as he turned his head towards the bathroom until he heard the sound of running water. He mentally activated the system.
"Hey, where is the plot now?"
A helpless voice came from beside him: "Where else can we go? I've already said there's something wrong with this world. You said you'd find a way to finish the story, have you thought of anything?"
Fu Li yawned and said, "I'm just looking for an opportunity, aren't I? There are two male leads now, and they both love me so much. I have to find a legitimate reason to get away."
These days he could sense that Loze's attitude towards him had become more enthusiastic, giving him whatever he wanted; it seemed that the provocation last time had been quite effective.
system:......
You seem pretty smug about it?
Fu Li chuckled and said nothing more. She closed her eyes and drifted into a light sleep. Only when a muscular Alpha emerged from the bathroom did she lazily stretch out her long arms and accept his services with a clear conscience.
To Luo Ze's surprise, Luo Ran actually kept his promise and backed down after returning. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Ze's forces launched a fierce counterattack.
Having been immersed in the business world for many years, he knows that if he seizes even the slightest opportunity, he has a hundred ways to turn defeat into victory. Moreover, he hasn't failed yet.
However, Luo Ran not only has several shareholders behind him, but also the support of the powerful Vili family, so he is not easy to deal with.
The internal strife within the Luo family, manifested in the open struggle between the Luo and Vili families, intensified to a terrifying degree.
Fu Li appeared completely unaware, but inwardly she was overjoyed.
The more chaotic the situation, the better it would be for him to escape. No matter how fiercely the two brothers fought each other, it wouldn't affect his plan.
The system didn't know exactly what Fu Li wanted to do, and was afraid that he would be rebellious like in the previous worlds and mess up the timeline. It was on tenterhooks every day, afraid that headquarters would send a message to hold it accountable.
Two weeks later, Luo Ze's men sent out returned with a report. However, the report wasn't about the fierce business battle they were currently engaged in, but rather about the matter he had previously sent to investigate involving Fu Li.
Luo Ze quickly scanned it, then read it word by word. His anger was burning, and he could no longer suppress his rage and hatred.
Over the past two weeks, their subordinates finally uncovered the past between Fu Li and Luo Ran. In tracing back to the source, they naturally discovered that Luo Ze was also involved. They spent considerable effort finding the surveillance footage from the plane at the time, so at the end, they asked Luo Ze if he remembered Fu Li approaching him that day.
With the evidence laid bare, the whole truth became clear. Distant, forgotten memories were unearthed from the depths of his mind, and Luo Ze finally remembered that it was Fu Li who had called out to him that day, blushing and asking for his contact information.
At the time, Luo Ze was briefly interested and, for the first time ever, gave the other party his contact information, but quickly forgot about it afterwards.
He never imagined that this chance encounter would lead the young man to mistake Luo Ran, who was waiting for someone at the airport, for the person he fell in love with at first sight, and then they would fall in love. This would lead to a series of events that followed.
But---
Luo Ze stared at the investigation report in shock and rage, clenching his right fist and slamming it hard on the table, leaving a noticeable dent.
Ah Li fell in love with him at first sight! Ah Li liked him from the beginning! Ah Li should have been with him!
Who is Luo Ran?! A thief who usurped someone else's place, a despicable scoundrel who deceived his lover with lies!
Then, he covered his face with his hands and fell into remorse in the darkness.
Why didn't he take it seriously at the time? Why didn't he take a good look at the young man's face? If it weren't for that, Luo Ran wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation and handed over his people to someone else!
Luo Ze's regret didn't last long. He straightened up again, his hand on his forehead, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, Ali has returned to his side. Fate brought them together again, thwarted Luo Ran's conspiracy, and after many twists and turns, Fu Li still married him and became his partner.
This is destiny!
A surge of intense joy overshadowed his previous anger.
Luo Ze thought that Fu Li's love at first sight was actually for him, so they should have been together. It was just that Fu Li had been kept in the dark by that despicable Lu Ran.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
They have become partners. Once the truth is revealed, Fu Li will realize the truth, and all the barriers between them will disappear.
Nothing can separate them anymore.
After calming himself down, Luo Ze opened his eyes again. The anger and elation in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent that emerged from the depths of his being, transforming into a tangible blade of light.
He calmly picked up his phone, dialed a number, and spoke in a chilling tone:
"I want Luo Ran's life."
"Find someone with clean hands and feet. I'll tell you when to take action later."
Upon hearing what the other person said, a brilliant light shot out from the Alpha's eyes, sharp and lingering, like a sharp sword reflecting sunlight.
His tone suddenly turned fierce: "Don't worry about public opinion afterwards."
"I want him dead because he has no reason to live anymore!"
Outside the half-open door, a handsome figure suddenly stopped, his eyes widening in disbelief. His hand, gripping the doorknob, began to tremble slowly.
