Chapter 21 Well Done
Pei Wu shook her head: "It's nothing."
As mentioned earlier, Liang Xu is a well-protected Omega. The Alphas around him, whether elders or peers, are all very gentlemanly and restrained. He has never seen anyone like Ji Bin before.
"Blatantly violating various protection laws in public places." Liang Xu looked at Ji Bin: "Trash."
Pei Wu wanted to defuse the situation quickly, so he thanked Liang Xu and directed the two security guards at the entrance. But when he turned around, he realized it was too late.
Lu Xiwen strode over here.
To be precise, Lu Xiwen's gaze remained fixed on Pei Wu.
No matter how Pei Wu tried to hide it, he still looked a little disheveled. He didn't know if Ji Bin had used his full strength just now, or why he was suddenly so sensitive to Alpha pheromones. Blood dripped from the back of his hand onto the ground, which was a bit shocking.
"Mr. Lu," Pei Wu said hoarsely, "I'm sorry."
Lu Xiwen stopped and saw that Pei Wu's bangs were messy, and her originally gentle facial features were now only outlined as pale and silent. Her injured arm hung limply at her side. When she saw him, she forced a smile.
"Who did it?" Lu Xiwen asked.
Cao Guan's eyebrows twitched. Instead of asking "What happened?" or "What are you all doing?", he precisely targeted the injured Pei Wu and asked, "Who did this?"
Cao Guan stepped forward with his hands in his pockets and raised his chin: "That half-dead guy in the corner."
Cao Guan held back, firstly because it wasn't his territory, and secondly because there were many Omegas present, and being too violent wouldn't be good. The situation was urgent just now, and if he had delayed any longer, the shards of glass might have ended up in Pei Wu's neck. Fortunately, no one was injured. His control over pheromones wasn't as precise as Lu Xiwen's.
Lu Xiwen stared at Ji Bin for two seconds and recognized him.
"take away."
The bodyguards stepped forward this time. When Ji Bin was lifted up, he seemed to have sobered up, and his eyes showed fear. But as soon as he opened his mouth, it was covered and he was dragged away.
Pei Wu leaned gently against the round table, temporarily ignoring the pain in his arm. His heart and lungs were in turmoil, and the pain gradually became sharper, as if the pheromones that Ji Bin had just attacked him had not left his body but had seeped into his blood, making him feel nauseous all the time.
Pei Wu closed her eyes.
Has the stabilizer failed? Pei Wu thought to himself, then he had to go find Dr. Zhou right away.
Pei Wu wanted to ask for leave: "President Lu, I..."
"Lan Zhe, appease the guests. Also, find out what just happened and why Ji Bin is still at Changrong." Lu Xiwen said in a deep voice. He was clearly angry, his imposing presence was intimidating, and his critical and indifferent eyes were full of frost.
Today is a glorious day for the company, so it's understandable that Lu Xiwen is in a bad mood after this incident. He's just really angry, and Pei Wu doesn't know how to explain or comfort him.
Pei Wu's mind was racing when suddenly someone grabbed her around the waist and turned her around. Before she could say anything, she followed Lu Xiwen's steps toward the elevator.
“President Lu, I was the one who struck first,” Pei Wu said when she had a moment to speak.
Lu Xiwen looked straight ahead and said, "This has nothing to do with who started it."
Given Pei Wu's temperament, the fact that she was forced to make the first move indicates that the other party had gone too far.
"What did he do?" Lu Xiwen asked.
Pei Wu found it difficult to speak.
The elevator doors opened, and Lu Xiwen led Pei Wu inside. After the doors closed, cutting off all view, and hearing no response, Lu Xiwen lowered his head and asked again, "What did he do?"
Pei Wu knew she couldn't hide it any longer, and whispered, "You're dishonest."
As he spoke, his Adam's apple bobbed, clearly indicating that he had swallowed some unbearable emotion. The unpleasant pheromone scent of Ji Bin still lingered on his body.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xi's pupils contracted sharply, and thunderclouds and snowstorms rolled in.
A moment later, Lu Xiwen leaned down and whispered in Pei Wu's ear: "Where did you touch?"
Pei Wu felt a chill run down her spine for a moment.
As the elevator ascended, an inexplicable sense of danger spread. The fury of a territorial invasion was palpable, dimming even the light. Pei Wu had every reason to be afraid; her heart raced and her limbs went numb. Yet, within this airtight enclosure, a crack somehow appeared, igniting a spark of exhilarating excitement.
Pei Wu turned her head and met Lu Xiwen's gaze.
Completely devoid of human emotion, those beautiful pupils were filled with primal killing intent. For the first time, Pei Wu truly felt the danger posed by a top-tier Alpha.
But Lu Xiwen's hand was still on her waist, which Pei Wu didn't find annoying. On the contrary, it was like timely rain, washing away the sticky touch left by Ji Bin, and it was as if, through layers of mist, it had invisibly grasped what Pei Wu had been avoiding.
"Don't you think President Lu is being a little too possessive of you?"
Yeah?
Is it possessiveness?
Pei Wuqing's handsome face did not smile; instead, it showed an unprecedented seriousness. Thin sweat from his physical discomfort dampened his hair, which clung to his forehead and eyebrows. Only then did Lu Xiwen notice that his pupils were a beautiful dark brown color. When they were wet and misty, they could no longer conceal the translucent "desire" beneath his skin.
The next second, Pei Wu placed her hand on the back of Lu Xiwen's hand, her voice a little hoarse: "Here."
It's here that we bumped into.
Lu Xiwen understood his meaning, his five fingers tightened, and a clear wind blew from Pei Wu's feet, as if to forcibly peel something away, crushing Ji Bin's pheromone residue to nothing.
"Well played," Lu Xiwen praised.
bite--
When the elevator reached the floor and the doors opened, Lu Xiwen became slightly more subdued.
Upon entering the room, Lu Xiwen immediately brought out a first-aid kit.
Pei Wu sat on the sofa, having already taken off his suit jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves. His left elbow was bruised and swollen, with marks from broken glass. That was where he was bleeding.
Lu Xiwen glanced at it and immediately regretted it: "Let's go to the hospital."
"No need, I know I haven't broken any bones." Pei Wu took the cotton swab from Lu Xiwen's hand and, under the Alpha's startled gaze, pressed it against the bleeding spot.
Pei Wu didn't say a word. After a while, he took the disinfectant cotton swab. It contained hemostatic ingredients and was very effective.
Lu Xiwen sat down to the side, grabbed Pei Wu's arm, and began to apply the medicine.
Modern medical biology can easily handle such small wounds and can indeed manage them on its own.
Finally, wrap it with a layer of gauze, and it'll be fine.
Pei Wu stretched in front of Lu Xiwen and said, "Mr. Lu, look, I'm fine."
"Hmm." Lu Xi asked, "Would you like some water?"
Pei Wu: "I'll do it myself."
But as soon as he got up, Lu Xiwen pressed his shoulder down and made him sit back down.
Normally, Pei Wu wouldn't let things develop in this direction, but the scene in the elevator kept replaying in his mind. Lu Xiwen was just following his instincts; he still didn't seem to understand what had happened.
A top-tier Alpha is dispelling the aura of other Alphas from his body, even though he is a Beta.
Pei Wu pressed her throbbing temples, and a look of interest and pleasure she had never shown before gradually appeared on her face.
