Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Mr. Shen and I are, we are a legal couple. ...
"It's just a small problem." Chen Louchen smiled, with a hint of courtesy in his tone.
Mr. Liu laughed twice, his eyes fell on Fu Xu, and he looked at him with a bit of scrutiny: "This is Minister Shen's omega, right? He's really good-looking."
Liu Wenyao had never seen such a good-looking omega. Her skin was a cool white, like the finest mutton-fat jade, which made her lips look bright red. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and even with a blank expression, she seemed to be holding a teasing invitation. Her nose was small and delicate, and her eyes were especially beautiful. The corners of her eyes were naturally raised, outlining an extremely beautiful arc. Her eyelashes were long and thick, and when they drooped, they formed a small, alluring shadow. The color of the omega's pupils was very light, and the omega seemed a little afraid. When she looked at people, she always seemed to have a layer of wet mist on her face, which was pure and charming.
Such an omega really makes people want to protect him out of thin air.
Chen Louchen's eyes darkened, and he calmly pulled Fu Xu behind him.
Zong Yuan moved quickly, standing in front of Liu Wenyao in one step: "This is Madam Shen, Fu Xu."
Liu Wenyao retracted his gaze, nodded, and smiled as if to say "please," "Minister Shen, please."
There were only ten chairs and ten alphas in the room. Fu Xu stood behind Shen Louchen tactfully.
At this time, a beta waiter came over and said softly, "Minister Shen, you don't come to our hotel often. Since it's inconvenient for omegas to sit at the same table with alphas, our hotel has a special private room for omegas. Why don't you let Mrs. Shen go over there?"
The waiter's explanation was well-reasoned. In fact, everyone knew that omegas were not worthy of dining at the same table with alphas. There had been incidents before where omegas secretly released pheromones and caused alohas to go crazy. In addition to the current situation, it was already an honor to be able to follow Mr. Shen out.
Chen Louchen raised his eyes unhappily. Due to health reasons, he had rarely attended such events in person before. He felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard such words. He glanced at Fu Xu: "You..."
"Mr. Shen, I can do it." Fu Xu said quickly, his voice very soft, "I'll just go next door. It won't affect your work."
He knew that this kind of occasion was very important and he couldn't cause trouble for Shen Louchen. Moreover, when he came in just now, he saw several omegas looking at Shen Louchen with a bit of obsession. He didn't want Shen Louchen to be distracted because of him.
Shen Louchen nodded: “Call me if you have anything.”
Fu Xu nodded: "Okay."
The waiter led Fu Xu to the small private room next door. The corridor was short and they soon arrived. The waiter pushed open a wooden door and said with a smile, "Mrs. Shen, please go in."
Fu Xu took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, he felt several pairs of eyes falling on him, with a bit of scrutiny and ill intentions.
The small private room is much smaller than the large one next door. It is more of a compartment than a private room. It can only accommodate a few people and is a world of difference from the one next door.
There were several omegas sitting in the room. When they saw Fu Xu come in, they stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
The omega sitting in the middle was wearing a red velvet shirt with a very low neckline, revealing his delicate collarbone. His skin was fair, his face was heavily made up, his lipstick was bright red, and his lip lines were clear. When he glanced over, his eyes were full of condescending scrutiny.
The other omegas were wearing ordinary white shirts and were looking at Fu Xu at the moment.
Fu Xu was a little nervous when they looked at him. He clenched his palms, and his fingertips turned white from the force. He lowered his eyes and greeted them softly: "Hello... Hello."
The omega in the red shirt sneered, picked up the teacup on the table, and gently skimmed off the foam with the cup lid. There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "This is Minister Shen's partner, right? She looks pretty, but... a little too plain. For an occasion like this, she should at least wear something decent, right? You're too plain. It seems that Minister Shen doesn't like you."
Fu Xu's face flushed instantly. He clutched the corner of his clothes and whispered, "This is what the housekeeper prepared for me..."
"Did the housekeeper prepare it?" The other omega put down his teacup and looked at Fu Xu's wrist. There was still a red mark there from Chen Louchen's scratch that morning. Although it was a little lighter, it was still visible. "Minister Shen seems to be 'concerned' about you. How did you get this mark? Could it be that you were disobedient and got a lesson from Minister Shen?"
His voice was not loud, but it was somewhat deliberate, making the other omegas laugh.
The omega in the white T-shirt spoke directly: "I heard that you have been raised as a dog by the Fu family? Why did Minister Shen choose you? I am afraid he used some tricks. Look at your hands, there are still calluses. Have you been working as a nanny all this time?"
Fu Xu curled up his fingers. There were indeed calluses on his hands, as well as scars from repeated injuries. When he was in the Fu family, he had to do a lot of housework, such as washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning. Over time, calluses formed on his hands.
His eye sockets began to feel hot again and tears welled up in them, but Fu Xu forced himself not to let them fall. He knew that he couldn't cry. If he cried, it would only make them look down on him even more and would also cause trouble for Chen Louchen.
"I...I didn't use any tricks." Fu Xu's voice was choked with sobs, but he still insisted, "Mr. Shen and I are legally married."
"So what if we're a legal couple?" The omega in the red shirt put down his teacup, stood up, and walked in front of Fu Xu, his tone threatening. "Minister Shen is just a novelty now. When the novelty wears off, you will still be abandoned. I advise you to be sensible and leave Minister Shen as soon as possible to avoid an embarrassing situation in the end."
At that time, he just wanted to climb into Chen Louchen's bed and make a good future for himself, but he didn't expect Chen Louchen to throw him down from the second floor without mercy, leaving him with a bruise on his lower back. Otherwise, with his family background, how could he possibly marry Liu Wenyao, that ugly alpha? He was the only S-level omega in the He family, so he should have a better alpha to match him.
Fu Xu took a step back and bumped into the chair behind him with a clang. He raised his head and looked at the omega with a bit of stubbornness in his eyes: "I will not leave, Mr. Shen."
Even if Mr. Shen treats him badly, even if Mr. Shen hates him, he doesn't want to leave. Mr. Shen's kindness to him during this period may be due to amnesia, but the warmth is real.
Mr. Shen would hold him while he slept, would worry about whether he had eaten or not, and would ask him to take care of his wounds. These warmth were like someone who had been drowning and was suddenly rescued. Even if it was just a small effort, it saved him from the water and made him reluctant to give up.
The omega didn't expect him to be so stubborn. His face darkened and he reached out to push Fu Xu: "How dare you talk back?"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by the waiter's voice: "Gentlemen, do you need some more tea?"
The omega paused, then retracted his hand, adjusted his shirt, and resumed his condescending demeanor. He sneered, "You're lucky."
Fu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked to the chair in the corner and sat down. He lowered his head and stopped looking at them. He could only clench the mobile phone in his hand. Chen Louchen's phone number was on the dial button. He only needed to press it lightly to hear Chen Louchen's voice, but he still held back.
I can’t let Mr. Shen worry, and I don’t want Mr. Shen to feel useless.
In the large private room next door, Chen Louchen sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, but his eyes unconsciously drifted towards the door. He could hear Liu Wenyao and others chatting and laughing, all talking about projects and slum renovations, but his mind was full of Fu Xu's timid look just now.
He knew the temperament of those omegas from big families. Most of them were arrogant, especially towards omegas from poor backgrounds. They were not very friendly. Fu Xu was so timid that he would definitely be bullied. He stroked the rim of the cup with his fingertips, and his irritation became more and more severe.
"Minister Shen, what are you thinking about?" Liu Wenyao noticed his distraction and asked with a smile, "Are you worried about Mrs. Shen?"
Chen Louchen came back to his senses, put down the teacup, and put on a polite smile on his face: “Nothing.”
Liu Wenyao laughed twice and said, "Don't worry, the omegas next door are all well-educated and well-mannered, and they won't bully Madam Shen."
Chen Louchen nodded, took a deep breath, and turned his attention back to his work.
"Mr. Liu, do you have an idea about the last investment offer?" Chen Louchen asked casually, taking a sip of tea.
"It's just right for you, Minister Shen, please take a look." Liu Wenyao smiled brightly. If he could get the management rights of the Anming Water Conservancy Project, he would basically be one of the best in this area. He would succeed today no matter what the cost.

Seeing Fu Xu's head hanging in silence, as if he hadn't heard what he said, He Xingyu's anger at being interrupted surged up instantly. He took a step forward, pinched Fu Xu's chin hard with his fingers, forcing him to look up, and said in an icy tone, "I'm asking you a question, are you deaf?"
Fu Xu felt pain from being pinched and was about to open his mouth to explain, but He Xingyu didn't give him any time to react and slapped him hard. Fu Xu suddenly felt a burning pain on his cheek. The force was so strong that he staggered and the teacup in his hand slipped out of his hand and hit the ground with a "clang". The white porcelain fragments mixed with tea splashed all over the floor.
In the big private room next door, the teacup at Chen Louchen's fingertips suddenly stopped, and the crisp sound of shattering was particularly clear. The pheromone smell that suddenly wafted over was filled with panic and grievance, which instantly tightened his heart. He didn't wait for Liu Wenyao to finish his words, and stood up abruptly, and the chair made a harsh sound when it dragged on the ground.
Liu Wenyao picked up the folder from behind, but before he could ask, Chen Louchen had already rushed out the door, his footsteps so fast that they kicked up the wind.
The moment he pushed open the wooden door of the small private room, he saw Fu Xu standing next to the fragments with his face covered. The corners of his eyes were red and tears were welling up in his eyes but he was trying hard not to let them fall. He Xingyu still maintained the posture of raising his hand with an arrogant smile on his face.
Chen Louchen's eyes instantly turned cold as ice. He took a few steps forward and pulled Fu Xu behind him to protect her. He lowered his eyes to look at Fu Xu's flushed cheek and gently touched her with his fingertips. His voice was filled with suppressed anger. He then raised his eyes to look at He Xingyu, his tone icy and piercing: "You did it?"
The smile on He Xingyu's face froze, and looking at the coldness in Chen Louchen's eyes, he became inexplicably panicked.
