Chapter 98 You're Not My Husband?! (9) "Husband!"...
The van drove out of the city and headed towards the tall, mist-shrouded building halfway up a mountain on the outskirts of Beijing.
Two hours later, they arrived at the castle's outskirts. The iron gate slowly opened, and an elderly man in a butler's uniform was waiting at the other end of the garden. Seeing Loze get out of the car, he bowed his head and said respectfully, "Young Master, you're back."
Luo Ze took a long stride forward, but was stopped by the bodyguard behind him.
"President Luo, what should we do about him?"
Luo Ze stopped in his tracks, only then remembering that there was still a troublesome person in the car. His stern brows furrowed slightly.
Finally, he ordered, "Take him in with you." His tone revealed a hint of annoyance.
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Luo, shall I carry him in, or would you like to carry him in yourself?"
He knew that the other person and the Beta inside had just gone through a vulnerable period, and that Alphas were very possessive of their partners, which worried that it would bother Loze.
The man stopped, glanced back at the young man sleeping soundly in the car, a cold glint in his eyes, and said impatiently, "You can come, just find him any guest room."
After saying this, he strode forward. The servants opened the doors from both sides, revealing the magnificent and elegant interior. A group of servants dressed in uniform butler's uniforms stood respectfully behind the door, welcoming the master of the mansion back.
Luo Ze's expression was cold and expressionless as he strode forward without pausing. A step or two behind him, the tall and imposing Bao Biao followed closely, carrying a slender young man who was still fast asleep in his arms.
----
Luo Ze did not completely ignore Fu Li.
After putting the person in the guest room, Luo's mother called to ask him what had happened in the past few days.
The Luo family heir was going through a vulnerable period outside, during which he spent the entire time in one room with a Beta. It's obvious what happened between them.
That's why the other party called so urgently to inquire.
"Could this incident be deliberately targeting you, or is it part of a larger conspiracy to bring down the Luo family?" Luo's mother asked, her voice filled with serious concern.
This concern was not unfounded. Six months ago, a group of members of the Luo family, vying for the vast fortune of the main branch, set their sights on Luo Ze. They sabotaged his car after his return to the country, intending to kill him, but to their surprise, Luo Ze was unharmed. Instead, this enraged them, leading to a massive purge against the collateral branches of the Luo family.
Such actions naturally offended many people. It's hard to say whether someone might have allied with forces outside the Luo family to try and bring them down.
Luo Ze replied indifferently, "Probably not. Their target is indeed me, but not the Luo family." He recalled the provocatively dressed actress at the banquet, the manager behind her giving instructions, and the indifferent, aloof executives present, and scoffed inwardly.
He hasn't been back to China for so long that someone actually dared to mess with him. It seems they need to learn that daring to challenge someone is no different from being tired of living.
I've already decided on the fate of this group of people.
"I will handle this matter; you don't need to get involved."
"And that Beta, what's his background? Is he clean?"
Faced with Luo's mother's question, Luo Ze remained silent for a long time before finally telling her about the relationship between Fu Li and Luo Ran.
"He mistook me for Luo Ran, and that's why he helped me get through my vulnerable period at the hotel."
After hearing this, Luo's mother remained silent for a while, then instructed, "Your brother has already fled abroad to avoid being tracked down, but if this Beta continues to stay in the Luo family, Luo Ran will eventually show up for him."
"Anyway, he mistook you for someone else, so let's use that to keep him here and not scare him away."
The woman said calmly, seemingly not finding it unethical for the two brothers to be involved with the same Beta.
Luo Ze frowned slightly. His mother intended to use Fu Li as a hostage to force Luo Ran to return. However, judging from Beta's completely oblivious demeanor, it seemed unimportant to Luo Ran.
In his view, this method would definitely not work.
However, his mother insisted that he keep the person, and Luo Ze was too lazy to argue with her about it. In any case, judging from Fu Li's rather dim-witted appearance, it would take him some time to figure out the truth on his own. So he agreed for the time being.
After settling everything in, Luo Ze instructed the butler to prepare several sets of clothes for Fu Li, as he might be staying at the Luo residence for a while. The butler respectfully agreed, without inquiring about the Beta's identity, and instead began to speak fluently:
"The merchant and the young master of the Yan family said they will be visiting the Luo residence tomorrow, accompanied by Miss Lilith. Where does the young master plan to receive them?"
Luo Ze's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. After a moment's thought, he said calmly, "Have someone clean up the horse ranch. We can go there and play polo with them tomorrow."
The butler respectfully agreed.

When Fu Li woke up, she was greeted by a high ceiling and ornate European-style reliefs on the ceiling.
His expression was somewhat bewildered, as if he had forgotten where he was.
After a long pause, he realized that he had apparently followed Luo Ze and gotten into his car, but he didn't know what happened after that.
The system notified me: [Host, you are already at the Luo family's house. And you've been sleeping for a whole day.]
Fu Li was already exhausted from helping Luo Ze relieve his sexual urges during his sensitive period. Afterwards, she was chased out of the hotel by her lover, whose attitude had changed drastically. She had spent too much energy and mental energy on the way, which is why she had been sleeping in the car until now.
However, now that they have successfully followed the Luo family, the rest of the plot will proceed smoothly.
Fu Li sat up and stretched, finding himself lying on a large bed. The blankets smelled fresh and pleasant. The room was very large, with a sofa and a bookcase, almost as big as the master bedroom he and Luo Ran shared in their villa.
A sofa stool was placed next to the bed, on which a set of clothes, including underwear, was neatly laid out, every wrinkle neatly ironed.
After getting dressed, Fu Li's first thought was to find her boyfriend.
He heard laughter from a crowd outside the window, walked over and pulled back the blackout curtain, revealing the entire castle and the meadow behind it.
The Luo family's ancestors were merchants who migrated from Country D several generations ago. Later, they intermarried with prominent families in Country C, accumulating a vast fortune over several generations. At the same time, they maintained close ties with various foreign powers, effectively operating in both the legitimate and underworld sectors. Although few members of the family were involved in politics, they consistently remained influential amidst changing political climates, ultimately becoming one of the most powerful and influential families in Country C.
Therefore, the entire Luo residence in the capital was renovated in the style of European castle architecture, with a magnificent fortress, exquisite spires, surrounding gardens and woodlands, and a horse farm in the backyard. It covers a wide area and is very impressive.
The young man was also shocked by the scene before him.
Because Luo Ran had never revealed his background to him, he always thought that the other party was really an orphan without parents, but he never expected to see such an amazing castle one day.
The gaze fell upon the distant racecourse, where two teams of riders had already begun their match. Dressed in black and white riding attire, they resembled medieval knights, wielding mallets as they battled it out on the field.
A group of men and women stood on the periphery watching the game, occasionally bursting into cheers and applause that pierced the sky and scattered throughout the castle.
The guest room window faced the direction of the horse farm. Fu Li spotted Luo Ze's figure at a glance. He was dressed in black, tight-fitting riding clothes, which outlined his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and explosive physique. His legs were wrapped around the horse's belly, and he was able to skillfully control the horse, performing one amazing and difficult move after another, which drew gasps of amazement from the crowd.
Fu Li gazed at that figure from afar, watching him gallop freely across the field, dashing, heroic, and exuding nobility. The sight was so captivating that Beta's heart fluttered, and she immediately decided to go down.
However, as soon as he stepped out the door, his path was blocked by an arm reaching out from the side.
Fu Li raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the straight black fabric, and saw a strong, handsome face. A cold, sharp gaze fixed on him, utterly unmoved, stern and aloof.
Fu Li almost immediately remembered that he was the bodyguard who had stopped her at the car door.
He tilted his head back, looking annoyed, and said, "I'm going to find someone, why are you stopping me?!"
Lin Xi, under Luo Ze's orders, knew that Fu Li would be an uncontrollable factor once he woke up, so he arranged for him to guard the guest room door to prevent him from running around the castle.
He had personally carried the young man to his feet. Although he had no romantic intentions, the moment he saw the young man's rosy and delicate face, he couldn't help but recall that unfamiliar yet unforgettable warm and tender touch.
The usually stern-faced man paused for a moment before saying, "President Luo instructed that you should stay in the room first."
Upon hearing this title, Fu Li was taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding how her boyfriend had gone from being a painter to being referred to as "President Luo" by the other party.
But considering that the people at the banquet had also addressed him as "President Luo," and the respectful attitude of others towards him before and after getting into the car, the "President Luo" they were calling him must be her boyfriend with whom she had reunited after a long separation and spent the night together.
So she pouted and said seriously, "What's wrong with me looking for my husband?"
Her little face was flushed, and her pretty features were filled with a serious expression. The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, his mind blank for a second. But unexpectedly, Beta ducked down and slipped through his fingers, running as fast as a little rabbit, and darted down the stairs in an instant.
On the side of the field, a group of elegantly dressed, handsome young men and women were chatting and laughing together.
These people are all high-quality Alphas and Omegas, all from prominent noble families, and many of them are heirs.
The Alphas were mostly male, dressed in riding attire and carrying whips. They chatted amiably, exuding a refined and elegant air. The Omegas, on the other hand, were dignified and graceful, their elegant and composed demeanor complementing their beautiful and delicate appearances. Judging from their looks, they were all top-tier beauties.
The Betas present were all servants or attendants, serving the young masters and ladies.
The sounds of Alphas and Omegas talking and laughing could be heard like silver bells, carrying far and wide.
The polo match had ended. A group of Alphas approached from a distance, leading their horses. The most eye-catching among them was Loze, mounted on his horse. He gripped the reins tightly, wore a riding helmet, and his riding attire accentuated his strong and tall physique. His expression was indifferent and handsome, revealing the noble and powerful aura of a top-tier Alpha. He attracted the most attention from the Omegas.
Someone said in an admiring tone, "Luo Ze is really amazing. Not only does he manage the family so well, but he also plays polo so well."
"Yes, yes, as expected of a top-tier Alpha."
Just then, a strange figure came running towards them from behind.
A servant had already spotted him, but strangely, he discovered that a bodyguard in black was jogging after him.
As they drew closer, the AOs heard the commotion and turned to look, surprised to find that the newcomer was a Beta youth. He had delicate features, but was ultimately not an Omega. It was as if someone had wandered in by mistake.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Beta ran towards Loze, stopped in front of his horse, bent over, and panted for a moment. Then, he raised his head, his moist eyes looking at the Alpha on horseback, his bright, brownish-gray pupils gleaming with intense light. He laughed excitedly and said:
"Honey, I just saw you! You rode amazingly!"
