Chapter 41 Chapter 41 “Mrs. Shen” is your trump card, understand…
Fu Xu's fingertips were tightly gripping the cashmere blanket on his body, his knuckles turned blue and white due to the force, and his shoulders were slightly tense. He was obviously very scared, but in this situation, he had no choice but to say it. Mr. Shen must know everything since he asked this, so he had to bite the bullet and tell him everything.
"I... I was in the corner of the classroom that day when I saw the red light on the ceiling surveillance camera." His voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz, and he paused after each word. He stared at his crossed knees, not daring to look at Chen Louchen's face. "I thought that as long as the surveillance camera was turned on, everyone would know it was my brother who did it, and I would be cleared of all charges... I didn't intend to use you, really."
At the end of his words, there was a subtle hint of grievance in his voice, and the ending tone trembled slightly.
With his pitiful vision, he could only see the "surveillance" evidence. He never thought that the school would protect Fu Jiaze, let alone that things would get to the point where Chen Louchen would need to step in.
In his understanding, as long as the evidence is solid, right and wrong can be distinguished, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face. If Mr. Shen had not come, he would probably have been expelled from the school and would not even have a chance to defend himself.
Looking at him like this, the coldness in Chen Louchen's eyes completely melted away, replaced by an almost playful smile. He stretched out his hand, hooked his slender fingers around Fu Xu's wrist, and with a gentle tug, pulled him into his arms.
Fu Xu cried out in surprise and subconsciously tried to sit up by supporting herself on Chen Louchen's chest, but the other party wrapped his arms around her waist and locked her tightly in his arms.
A warm breath brushed against the tip of Fu Xu's ear, and Chen Louchen's voice, with its low, magnetic quality, rang in his ear: "Are you stupid? You only stare at the surveillance camera, and never thought of a simpler way?"
Fu Xu's ears instantly turned red, and even his cheeks flushed lightly. He leaned stiffly in Shen Louchen's arms, and could clearly feel the warmth of his chest and the steady heartbeat. This made him so nervous that he even breathed a little slower. "A simpler...simpler way?"
"Hmm," Chen Louchen's fingers gently caressed the soft flesh on Fu Xu's waist. His movements were somewhat careless, but it made Fu Xu's body stiffen even more. "For example, using the identity of 'Mrs. Chen'."
Fu Xu suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open, full of shock.
He had never thought in this direction. In his heart, "Mrs. Shen" was just an accidental title, a decision made by Shen Louchen on a whim, a title stolen because of a misunderstanding, and it was never something he could rely on.
"I... I can't do this!" Fu Xu said anxiously, his voice rising slightly. "This will cause you trouble. I... don't want to do anything that might hurt you."
Mr. Shen is a good man, he knows that Mr. Shen doesn’t like this, then he can’t do it.
Fu Xu's eyes were extremely serious, with a hint of respect, clean and stubborn.
Looking at him like this, Chen Louchen suddenly chuckled, and the vibration of his chest was transmitted to Fu Xu through his clothes, making him feel inexplicably itchy.
"Hurt me?" Chen Louchen pinched Fu Xu's chin, forcing him to look up at him, the smile in his eyes deepening. "Do you think that with such a small matter like yours, and not knowing how to use the chips in your hand, you can hurt me?" Chen Louchen paused, and gently stroked the red corners of Fu Xu's eyes with his fingertips. His gesture was gentle, unlike the usual cold-hearted Minister of Security. "We are already married, Fu Xu. As I said, from the day you walked into our house, we have a community of interests. Your business is my business; your troubles are naturally my troubles."
Fu Xu was stunned, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
He always felt that there was a gap between him and Shen Louchen. The other party was the high and mighty head of the Shen family, a favored child standing at the pinnacle of power, while he was just an omega living under someone else's roof. But now Shen Louchen told him that they were a "community of interests."
"'Mrs. Shen' is not a casual title," Shen Louchen's voice became deeper, with unquestionable seriousness, "It is your biggest trump card, understand?"
"I..." Fu Xu stuck his head out in confusion, still not quite understanding.
"Gu Wangyan gave you so many books, but you didn't read them?" Chen Louchen asked back.
Fu Xu twirled his fingers guiltily: "I... haven't finished reading it yet."
Chen Louchen smiled helplessly: "There's a saying in The Prince that goes 'The end justifies the means, because the end justifies the means'. What you do is not important, what is important is the result. If you had come to me from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened. Do you understand?"
In fact, Chen Louchen didn't understand why he would be so patient in teaching an omega these things. They couldn't get in touch with them anyway, but he just inexplicably liked the way Fu Xu's eyes looked at him with tears in his eyes. If he could beg him again...
What is he thinking about?
Chen Louchen shook his head, trying to get rid of this bizarre idea.
He must be mentally unstable recently.
Fu Xu's eyes gradually became moist. He looked into Chen Louchen's deep eyes, in which his own figure was clearly reflected. So he nodded, but afraid that Chen Louchen didn't see it, he whispered: "I understand...I understand."
But there is still a trace of uneasiness quietly spreading in my heart.
Is Chen Louchen so good to him because of "community of interests" or something else?
He didn't dare to ask, for fear that the answer he got would not be what he wanted.
Chen Louchen seemed to see through his thoughts, but did not point it out. He just loosened the arm around his waist and took out a small box from the inner pocket of his suit.
The box is made of dark brown velvet, which feels delicate and soft, and it is obvious that it is of great value.
Fu Xu's eyes were immediately drawn to the box. He blinked curiously and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, what is this?"
"Open it and take a look." Chen Louchen handed the box to him, tilted his head, and motioned Fu Xu to open it himself.
Fu Xu carefully took the box and gently lifted the lid with his fingertips. When he saw what was inside, he held his breath instantly, his eyes widened with surprise.
Inside the box lay a longevity lock, made entirely of pure gold with a warm and bright color, emitting a soft luster under the light of the living room. Both sides of the lock body were carved with delicate lotus patterns, the lines so delicate that even the veins of each petal were clearly visible. A small piece of emerald green jade was embedded in the lock core, the color was a very bright green, and when paired with the pure gold, it looked both noble and elegant.
Fu Xu stretched out his finger and gently touched the longevity lock, only to feel it was heavy in his hand. The cool metal touch came through his fingertips, making his heart feel hot: "This... is this for me?" He looked up at Chen Louchen, his voice trembling with disbelief.
"What else?" Chen Louchen raised an eyebrow, looking at Fu Xu like a child who had received candy, the smile in his eyes became even more intense, "I couldn't find the one you had, so I asked Zong Yuan to make one for you. You are a member of the Shen family now, so don't wear those shabby things when you go out. It's embarrassing."
Although Fu Xu's current clothes were all given to him by Uncle Chen, he still kept the habits he had when he was in the Fu family. He never ate his fill and would put his food down after a few bites. Even though so many delicacies from the mountains and the sea were brought home, Fu Xu would not eat many bites and would always pick at his own porridge. If he had not had the time to watch him eat, he would never have been hugging such a skinny onega and doing such a stupid thing here.
Fu Xu took the longevity lock out of the box, held it in his palm, looked at the pattern on it repeatedly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
No one had ever given him such an expensive gift in his entire life, and no one had ever spent so much time and effort on him. A warm current surged up from the bottom of his heart and instantly spread throughout his body, causing his pheromones to leak out uncontrollably.
The faint fragrance of flowers filled the living room, entangling Chen Louchen's body like a silk thread and then seeping in.
Chen Louchen's glands reacted instantly. He was an alpha and was very sensitive to omega pheromones. A heat spread from his glands, flowing through his blood to his limbs and bones, making his breathing become a little heavy.
He subconsciously tightened his arms and once again embraced Fu Xu in his arms, resting his chin on the top of his head, his voice a little hoarse with a hint of suppression: "You..."
"What's wrong, Mr. Shen?" Fu Xu looked confused.
Chen Louchen frowned, he seemed to understand something, combined with the test report that Lin Yunzhou had told him before.
Fu Xu’s mood...perhaps the key to his ability to release pheromones.
But, maybe Fu Xu himself doesn’t know that he has pheromones, and no one else can smell Fu Xu’s pheromones. Why is that?
There was no time to think about it. If he was not stopped, he really didn't know what he would do.
Chen Louchen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, then reached out and gently pressed on the gland on the back of Fu Xu's neck. His warm fingertips slowly rubbed it with soothing power.
The alpha's breath passed through his fingertips, like a gentle net, slowly wrapping up Fu Xu's pheromones. Fu Xu only felt a warmth on the back of his neck, and the originally restless pheromones gradually calmed down, and the tension in his heart also dissipated a lot.
"Don't move..." Chen Louchen's voice was filled with lust, his pupils gradually narrowed, and he was almost on the verge of losing control.
Fu Xu leaned in Shen Louchen's arms, not daring to move. He just kept his head down and looked at the longevity lock in his hand. The coolness of the gold and the warmth of his palm intertwined together, making him feel particularly at ease.
When the concentration of pheromones dropped, Chen Louchen felt like he was alive again, but some parts of his body felt so uncomfortable that they exploded. If this continued, he would lose control if it weren't for the pheromones.
"Mr. Shen," he whispered, with a hint of dependence in his voice, "thank you."
"Yeah." Chen Louchen responded, and gently hooked the end of Fu Xu's hair with his fingers, and said slowly in a very soft voice, "Happy birthday."
"Mr. Shen, what did you say?" Fu Xu turned around.
"Nothing." Chen Louchen turned his face away, "There is a dinner party tomorrow, you come with me."
Fu Xu shrank back into the blanket, curling himself up like a hedgehog, revealing only a twisted little face. He spoke weakly, "But I... haven't finished my homework yet..."
Chen Louchen:?
