Chapter 97 You're not my husband?! (8) "But if he could..."
A few hours later, Luo Ze awoke. The first thing he saw was a delicate and pretty face, with soft, damp black hair clinging to her smooth forehead, and her cheeks rosy and glowing with a delicate radiance. Her peaceful sleeping face still held a hint of post-coital arousal, captivating at first glance.
He was stunned for a moment, then memories of the past two days flooded his mind. He remembered that the female celebrity O had drugged his drink, causing his pheromones to go into a frenzy and triggering a pseudo-sensitive period. The Beta in front of him was the hotel waiter who had brought him up.
In a hazy state, he seemed to hear the other person call his name. Luo Ze frowned involuntarily—another one throwing herself at him, trying to climb the social ladder.
Alpha then knelt up from the bed, revealing his strong, muscular back, covered in bruises and scratches from fingernails.
Luo Ze frowned as he glanced at the person still fast asleep on the bed. Beta still wore a sweet smile on his face, a smile born from reuniting with his lover. His deep eyes gradually darkened, revealing a hidden danger as abyss as deep as an abyss.
Picking up the suit jacket that she had torn herself from the corner of the bed, the once smooth and sturdy high-quality fabric had been reduced to strips, she finally gave up and went into the bathroom.
Fu Li was awakened by the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
A thin mist rose on the bathroom glass, and the frosted glass outlined a muscular figure standing under the showerhead.
The young man was momentarily stunned; the events of the past two days were too surreal, as if he had experienced a dream. Then he realized he had indeed found a lover and had even helped her through a sensitive period.
For a full day and two nights, he worried several times that he would die from the sex. Even during Luo Ran's most vulnerable period, he had never experienced such a long sexual encounter.
It was truly like rain after a long drought; after a long separation, we experienced a truly intense and intense sexual encounter.
---All of this is true.
Recalling this, Beta blushed and buried her face in the blanket, feeling both joyful and shy.
But if he could smell a faint, rich scent of cedarwood permeating the air—far removed from the gardenia pheromones of his true lover—he wouldn't think that way.
So, when Loze came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and disposable slippers, he saw the awakened Beta sitting on the bed, blushing and clutching the blanket. Her cheeks were bright red, like ripe red apples, full and sweet, and full of juice if you took a bite.
Upon seeing him, a sweet smile appeared on her face, as if she were still feeling sweet and tender afterward.
Seeing his affectionate expression, Luo Ze felt even more annoyed.
In his eyes, the young man in front of him was an opportunist with ulterior motives who had chosen to lie low as a waiter in a hotel, waiting for an opportunity to climb the social ladder and curry favor with a powerful patron.
The fact that they're still acting this way suggests they're determined to get back at me.
He regretted even more that he hadn't had a bodyguard with him. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have been tricked.
The fact that his first partner during his most vulnerable period turned out to be this kind of person made him feel terrible.
The Alpha's dark pupils were like a frigid, snowy night, cold and devoid of any color. Reflecting the shy yet excited expression of the young man on the bed, the Alpha spoke without a trace of emotion: "Tell me, how much money do you want?"
Fu Li was stunned. He saw Luo Ze looking at him with cold eyes. Not long ago, they were still passionately entwined in bed, but now he was speaking to him in the coldest tone. This attitude was not the Luo Ran he knew at all!
Her expression stiffened for a moment, and she couldn't help but whisper, "Ah Ran, what's wrong?"
The young man's voice was soft, as if afraid of upsetting the other person again. However, the moment he heard the form of address he used, Luo Ze's expression froze, and he understood what was going on almost instantly. His pupils reflected Beta's stunned face, his eyes shifting between light and dark, eventually becoming increasingly deep and unfathomable.
Over there, Fu Li thought something had happened to him, and her tone was full of worry as she bombarded him with questions: "Aran, did something happen to you? Why did you disappear half a year ago? Where did you go? Why did you appear in the capital? I've been looking for you everywhere for the past six months. How... are you doing?"
"And also, your body..."
Looking at the almost tangible worry overflowing in Beta's eyes, Loze felt it was all surreal.
He recalled that when he had his men investigate Luo Ran's whereabouts, they had reported that Luo Ran seemed to have settled in Dali City and had a Beta lover. At the time, he was busy purging those in his family who opposed him and had no interest in such information. He had even sternly reprimanded the subordinate who reported to him for bothering him with such matters.
The person in front of me matches all the characteristics; he must be Luo Ran's Beta lover.
Luo Ze felt a pang of irony. Luo Ran had run away without taking him with her, and hadn't even told her boyfriend the truth. It seemed her feelings for him weren't so genuine after all.
But on second thought, Beta was even more stupid, unable to even tell the difference between his own lover and his lover, so he deserved to be deceived.
Thinking of this, Luo Ze scoffed, put on the clothes delivered by the hotel, and coldly said, "I am not Luo Ran."
Without intending to explain, he opened the door and went out.
Outside the door, the assistant and bodyguards had been waiting anxiously for two days. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Luo Ze emerge safely, his cold expression like frost and snow, indicating that he was unharmed.
Luo Ze straightened his collar and buttoned up the last button of his shirt.
He didn't want to waste time on this. If the other party found out that he wasn't Luo Ran, they would break down and cry and make a scene, which would be even more troublesome.
Let the assistant give him some money to get rid of him.
So he instructed, "Give the people inside 200,000, and don't bother me with the aftermath anymore."
Since the period of false susceptibility has passed, let's just treat it as an unpleasant memory and put it behind us.
I strode towards the elevator.
However, he overlooked one point: Fu Li was different from those who tried every means to curry favor with him for personal gain; he could not be appeased with money.
Inside the room, the young man who had been thrown out looked completely bewildered.
After finally reuniting with his lover, why is A-Ran acting like this? Where did the gentle and considerate Alpha go? How did he become someone who coldly tells him to just pay him off?!
Beta couldn't understand it, but his intuition told him he couldn't let the other person get away like that. So he quickly put on a hotel bathrobe and chased after them.
Outside, the door in front of the assistant, who was cautiously knocking to ask if he could come in, suddenly opened, and the person inside rushed out. Before he could even say "wait," he saw a white figure disappear at an extremely fast speed at the end of the corridor.
A black BMW van pulled up in front of the hotel, and a tall, imposing man in black, wearing a wireless earpiece, stepped out. Upon seeing Luo Ze, he stood by the car door to greet him.
Just then, a young Beta wearing only a bathrobe and disposable slippers chased after them out of the hotel lobby. It was unclear how he managed to run so fast.
Up close, you could see clearly a delicate little face, flushed, with raised eyebrows, calling out anxiously:
"Ah Ran, wait!"
"Luo Ran, wait a minute! You need to explain yourself!"
The bodyguard was taken aback for a moment upon seeing this, and couldn't help but look at Luo Ze.
He didn't expect Fu Li to chase after him, and to run so fast.
Growing increasingly impatient, he gave his bodyguard a sharp look, signaling him to stop the man.
The next moment, Fu Li crashed into a wall of people, seeing stars and almost falling backward. Looking up, he saw a man in black blocking the car door, his chest as hard as an iron plate, his resolute and handsome face expressionless, silently staring at him.
No matter what Fu Li does, she can't get around the other party.
Seeing that the car was about to leave, Beta panicked and, forgetting all about saving face, grabbed the black-clad bodyguard's arm tightly and shouted:
"Luo Ran, you bastard! I'm Fu Li! You disappeared without a trace half a year ago, and you slept with me yesterday, and now you're turning your back on me?!"
This shout successfully attracted everyone's attention, and even people inside the gate were craning their necks to look out.
In general, Luo Ze would ignore such situations and simply have his bodyguards throw them out. If they continued to cause trouble, he would have his lawyer sue them for defamation.
But this time was different. Although he wasn't Luo Ran, what Fu Li said was indeed true.
Luo Ze pointed his finger at his temple, gritted his teeth, and finally gave in, ordering the bodyguards to let the person up.
A few minutes later, Fu Li got into the van, next to an Alpha who had a lover's face but was staring coldly out the window. In the back were two bodyguards in black.
He was only wearing a hotel bathrobe and disposable slippers, which were dirty from running all the way, making him look out of place in the high-class and austere environment around him.
Looking out the window at the skyscrapers that kept passing by, Fu Li couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"
Luo Ze glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "The Luo family."
He was organizing his thoughts, waiting for the young man to ask for the truth before telling him the truth.
But after a long while, the young man remained silent. Glancing to the side, I saw that he had fallen asleep against the leather seat. His expression was exceptionally peaceful, as if he had been embraced by his mother.
This time, Luo Ze was so angry he actually laughed.
If anyone else were to sit next to him, they would all sit upright and tremble with fear, but he, on the other hand, could actually fall asleep.
Luo Ze scrutinized the young man, his gaze finally settling on the collarbone exposed beneath the bathrobe. He noticed the mottled red marks on the fair skin, some even turning a deep purple, giving the young man a pitiful look.
Luo Ze silently looked away and instructed his assistant to bring a towel to cover the sleeping young man.
