Chapter 1
An Nuo never thought that one day he would change his fate by getting married.
Like a dream.
The unfavored youngest son of a wealthy businessman who has fallen on hard times had the opportunity to attend a social dinner where celebrities gathered. He thought he was just a dark little mushroom in the corner that no one cared about, but he was actually loved at first sight by the alpha who was the focus of the whole audience.
It is suspected that he was unfortunately injected with fake inhibitors, which was his last fantasy before being poisoned to death.
But the next day, An Nuo met Lu Yunyan again.
The only son of one of the most famous consortium families in the Federation, a man among men, an alpha among alphas.
"Did I scare you last night?"
“…”
While this conversation was taking place, he had already been asked to get into Lu Yunyan's car in a daze.
A completely enclosed space and private emotional topics are actually not suitable for a stranger to be alone.
But the car was parked in a brightly lit place, the interior was spacious, the seats were soft and comfortable, and the air was filled with a light grapefruit aromatherapy that helped relax tense nerves.
The man sat diagonally opposite him, keeping as much distance from him as possible.
"Last night, time was limited and I didn't have time to explain too much to you. Now, can you listen to me carefully?"
An Nuo lowered his head and pinched his fingers: "...Please speak."
I figured I had no choice.
She had just finished class and hadn't even stepped out of the school gate when she was sandwiched between Lu Yunyan's bodyguards and was taken to a car by two men.
"Last night I said I wanted to marry you, and I wasn't joking."
An Nuo pinched his fingers, his heart tightening a little.
"But it's just a marriage agreement." Lu Yunyan said, "What I really need is your pheromones."
Hearing about the arranged marriage, An Nuo slowly raised his head.
When An Nuo heard that the other party needed his pheromones, he looked confused and bewildered.
"…My, pheromones?"
"Yes, your pheromones."
Lu Yunyan's tone was natural and fluent, yet neither salty nor bland, as if he was discussing a business matter.
"This marriage won't last long, three years at most. In return, I can free you from your original family and give you a generous reward, enough to provide you with food and clothing for the rest of your life."
“…”
"I'm sorry for taking the liberty of investigating your family situation, but this is a necessary step if I want to convince you."
Although he had no idea what the other party was going to do with his pheromones, An Nuo had to admit that Lu Yunyan's investigation was correct - the reward of getting rid of his original family hit his biggest pain point directly, which was enough to suppress all the subtle emotions of the background being investigated.
An Nuo pursed his lips: "...What do you want my pheromones for?"
Instead of refusing, he asked further.
This means that the conditions offered are valid and this matter has potential.
Lu Yunyan adjusted his sitting position, leaned forward, and whispered, "I have a secret."
An Nuo's azure eyes trembled slightly.
"It's a congenital genetic defect that caused an imbalance in my pheromone levels. I need omega pheromones to treat it."
Lu Yunyan sighed.
"But unfortunately, this disease is quite rare, and since the day it was diagnosed, no effective omega pheromone has been found."
"Until I met you last night."
Lu Yunyan looked at him and said sincerely, "After smelling your pheromones, I knew you were the one I'd been looking for... So you are very important to me. As long as you are willing to agree, I can meet any request."
The conditions are indeed very tempting.
"But……"
"Um?"
Lu Yunyan maintained a gentle tone: "But what?"
An Nuo blinked, confused and uncertain: "But I don't have any pheromones at all..."
“…”
A completely unexpected answer.
Silence enveloped them.
Two seconds later, Lu Yunyan curled his lips and chuckled: "Are you rejecting me in this way?"
The air was filled with the scent of Annuo's pheromones, but he said he didn't have much pheromones?
Is there a more ridiculous way to say no than this?
An Nuo quickly waved his hands: "No, no, it's true... My glands, um, have some problems. I can hardly release pheromones. The hospital has confirmed it. I'm not lying to you..."
An Nuo didn't lie.
Although his condition is not a congenital defect and is not as serious as Lu Yunyan's, he does have a long-term lack of hormone production, which causes him to run away from home during the estrus period. His pheromones are weak and the smell is almost as light as that of a beta.
I always feel a little better after taking medicine, but I get worse again if I stop taking it.
Because the side effects of the medicine had a great impact on him, Annuo was really fed up with taking it. It was only treating the symptoms and not the root cause anyway. It would be easier if he didn't have the estrus period, so he simply stopped taking the medicine.
So when he heard Lu Yunyan say that his pheromones were effective, he was full of doubts.
Others would have to get very close to barely smell it, and he himself could hardly smell it. How could Lu Yunyan smell it even from such a distance?
"But I smelled it, and I still have it now."
Seeing that An Nuo's reaction didn't seem fake, Lu Yunyan also began to feel confused.
"It should smell like mixed fruits, quite sweet, a bit like peach?"
“…”
Talking about the pheromone smell of omegas so blatantly between two strangers is like the opening line of sexual harassment.
But Lu Yunyan was right, Annuo's pheromone had a mixed fruit flavor.
Most of the time it's just sweet, with a specific smell appearing occasionally.
An Nuo didn't lie.
What Lu Yunyan said was also true.
After that, the two fell silent again.
Everyone probably thinks this situation is incredible and outrageous.
Finally, Lu Yunyan broke the silence and asked, "Is your glandular problem serious?"
An Nuo understood what Lu Yunyan meant. He pinched his palm and said vaguely, "...It's okay. It's not serious. I can take some medicine and it will be fine."
Lu Yunyan said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, the Lu family has the best medical resources."
“…”
An Nuo didn't know what to feel at ease about.
But judging from Lu Yunyan's attitude, it seems that he is determined to achieve the outcome of this arranged marriage.
An Nuo pinched his fingers and sighed heavily in his heart.
That's fine.
If Lu Yunyan fell in love with him at first sight, An Nuo would only feel very troubled and not know how to refuse.
But Lu Yunyan wanted to negotiate an agreement with him, and An Nuo felt relieved.
An Nuo's family situation is complicated. For twenty years, he has always been the least favored child in the family.
But because he got Lu Yunyan's attention last night, he instantly became the focus of the whole family.
It was an unprecedented highlight moment.
Although it was quite sad that all these were achieved thanks to an unrelated stranger, Annuo was secretly happy about it.
After feeling secretly happy, she was also afraid that Lu Yunyan would really like her.
If Lu Yunyan really likes him, his family will definitely be happy to push him out.
The benefits that can be gained by using an insignificant little son to please the Lu family must far exceed the value of keeping An Nuo at home. His father, who hates him, would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
But for Annuo himself, it may not be a good thing.
The other party is a top consortium family. He has neither a family background that matches theirs nor reliable family members to support him. Once the novelty brought by the appearance wears off, he will most likely become a plaything in the palm of the top alpha's hand.
Having been accustomed to these conspiracies and calculations since childhood, he no longer daydreams that someone will come to save him.
But now Lu Yunyan needs something from him and wants to negotiate an agreement with him, and he has offered such attractive conditions - even if he is still in a weak position, at least he is qualified to sit at the table and negotiate.
It was just too sudden.
Annuo had never had such experience before, so it was difficult for him to give an answer in a short time.
"I think this is a big deal... I need time to think it over carefully." An Nuo squeezed his palms. "I will carefully consider the conditions you offer."
Lu Yunyan chuckled, his attitude remaining friendly and gentle: "Of course you have plenty of time to think carefully."
…
This was his first conversation with Lu Yunyan, and it ended in a relatively peaceful and friendly atmosphere.
In order to persuade him to agree, Lu Yunyan asked him out twice more.
The first time, Lu Yunyan invited him to dinner.
The call was made directly to the house to ask if it was convenient for An Nuo to come out.
Annuo had no room to refuse.
His father, who rarely looked him in the eye, even hired a professional stylist to dress him up like a gift and then sent a car to take him to Lu Yunyan.
The cuffs and collar of the clothes were specially sprayed with perfume.
It's a perfume that can arouse alpha sexual desire and contains banned ingredients.
This made An Nuo feel very embarrassed.
After getting off the car, he immediately took off his coat.
Although Lu Yunyan knew his family situation, it was precisely because of this that An Nuo didn't want to be looked down upon.
When the two met again, Lu Yunyan was still reliable and mature, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Sorry, I called your house."
He apologized to An Nuo first.
"I tried to contact you, but you didn't answer my call. Did you set up a stranger-prevention feature?"
“…”
An Nuo was stunned.
Before coming here, I really had some resentment towards Lu Yunyan and didn't understand why he would contact his family directly.
Knowing that this is the shackles that you want to get rid of, are you using this to force yourself to agree?
He was so friendly the last time we met and said he had plenty of time to think about it.
You are so scheming.
Dog alpha, it turns out that you can’t trust a word he says.
He cursed secretly for hundreds of times, and when he had finished cursing, he found out that the other party had failed to contact him. An Nuo was instantly reproached by his conscience.
"fine……"
What else can I say? I can't say what I'm thinking.
"So, can you add contact information this time?"
"……good."
Lu Yunyan didn't ask about his considerations, but said first: "After thinking about it, I still should tell you my specific situation, otherwise it would be too unfair to you."
"……Um?"
"My genetic defect is actually a very rare form of pheromone loss syndrome."
An Nuo blinked his confused eyes. He had indeed never heard of the concept of lost syndrome.
"This condition is caused by a hormone imbalance, but my body is unable to produce the regulating substances on its own, so the symptoms are particularly intense during susceptible periods."
An Nuo listened quietly.
"One of the things, although I really don't want to mention it..."
Lu Yunyan seemed to smile bitterly.
"But I still have to make it clear to you. After all, the treatment process will require you to make considerable sacrifices."
sacrifice.
The wording seems a bit serious.
An Nuo was even more curious, and blinked his blue eyes: "...What is it?"
"Around the sensitive period, I would become very irritable and aggressive, and I would really want to soothe my omega with pheromones."
"I want physical contact, I want to hug, I want to kiss, and I want more -"
Lu Yunyan paused for two seconds, then continued calmly, "Simply put, it's a symptom similar to sex addiction. I want to have sex with you."
“…………”
An Nuo's eyes widened immediately, and he understood why Lu Yunyan used the word "sacrifice".
Does a marriage by arrangement require sex?
This wording is not serious at all.
On the contrary, it is quite accurate.
