Despite Lu Siluo's insistence, Lu Huangzhi refused to find a research team for her. He asked Lu Siluo to find time to visit the ABO Research Institute and listen to the opinions of professionals before making a decision.
Lu Siluo specially picked a day when the lab was not busy to go for consultation. Zhao Yesi and Lu Huangzhi made time to go to the lobby to pick her up.
The wealthy sister was dressed elegantly today, a suit jacket over a little black dress, and her makeup was exquisite, but she still looked a little haggard. She was wearing high heels of more than ten centimeters, and was taller than Zhao Yesi.
Zhao Yesi felt hurt and didn't want to stand next to his sister, so he kept his distance from her quietly.
Xiong Chumo knew that Lu Siluo was a potential "financial sponsor" and received her politely.
"Mr. Lu has already told us about your problem," Xiong Chumo said. "Excuse me, but changing the scent of pheromones is probably difficult with current technology."
Pheromones are secreted by glands, which are controlled by genes. Once genes are involved, the problem becomes difficult to solve.
Lu Siluo said disappointedly: "Am I really hopeless?"
Nan Yanjiuyuan poured Lu Siluo a cup of tea, sat down opposite her, and said, "Miss Lu, do you usually use odor blockers?"
"Of course." Lu Siluo puffed out her chest proudly. "I'll do whatever the country advocates."
Nan Yan Jiuyuan said tactfully, "Your husband hasn't differentiated, he's a Beta. Generally speaking, Betas are very insensitive to Omega pheromones. Unless you're in your susceptible period, as long as you use an odor blocker, a Beta won't be able to smell your pheromones."
Lu Siluo frowned: "You mean..."
Lu Huangzhi said: "It's not just your pheromones that your husband doesn't like."
Lu Siluo bit her lip and said, "My husband has a very serious mysophobia."
"What does my mysophobia have to do with your pheromones?" Lu Huangzhi said calmly, "Your pheromones are not dirty."
Zhao Yesi nodded in agreement: "I really like eating snail noodles. I feel like I was made of snail noodles in my previous life."
Lu Huangzhi: ...That’s not necessary.
Xiong Chumo asked curiously, "Is snail rice noodle really delicious? I haven't tried it yet."
"Not bad." Nan Yanjiuyuan said, "Teacher Xiong, you can try it. Maybe you will like the taste."
Lu Siluo opened her eyes slightly. She slowly lowered her head, her long hair falling down, covering her face.
Nan Yan Jiuyuan felt a little reluctant and said, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that your husband's sense of smell is more sensitive than the average Beta." Lu Siluo raised her head and forced a smile, "I see. Actually, think about it, we already have odor blockers, so there's no need to rush to change the taste of pheromones."
"Yes." Xiong Chumo said, "Our top priority right now is to develop an inhibitor for Alpha."
Lu Siluo asked: "Are you still short of money?"
Zhao Yesi: Rich sister is so generous!
Nan Yanjiuyuan smiled and said, "The Alpha Inhibitor Project has ample funding, but the contraceptive pill project next door seems to be quite short of money."
Lu Huangzhi became interested: "Is it the Omega contraceptive pill?"
"Yes. Once an Omega has unprotected sex with their reproductive cavity open, the chance of pregnancy is over 40% even during the non-susceptible period, let alone during the susceptible period," Xiong Chumo said. "On the other hand, Alphas, due to their possessive instincts, often engage in some outrageous behavior, which makes Omegas more likely to get pregnant."
The two Betas and two Omegas all looked at the only Alpha present.
Lu Huangzhi said calmly: "I didn't."
Lu Siluo asked Zhao Yesi: "Xiao Zhao, does he have it?"
Zhao Yesi pretended to be dumbfounded: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"In short, the development of the Omega contraceptive pill is urgent," Nan Yanjiuyuan said. "It would be great if Miss Lu could help them."
Lu Siluo perked up and said, "Can you tell me more about it?"
"Sure." Xiong Chumo was quite fond of the approachable and straightforward wealthy woman. "I'll take you to meet the head of their team."
Lu Siluo chatted with the person in charge of the contraceptive research for a long time, and they roughly confirmed their intention to fund the project. After the chat, she coquettishly asked Lu Huangzhi and Zhao Yesi to take her to the parking lot.
"I brought you gifts." Lu Siluo opened the trunk of the car and pulled out two bags with brand logos. "Dangdangdangdang, it's a pair of couple's sneakers."
Zhao Yesi was flattered: "Thank you, Sister Siluo. I didn't even prepare a gift for you..."
"It's okay, I'm older than you." Lu Siluo changed into a pair of flat shoes that were convenient for driving, smiled and waved to them, "I'm leaving."
Zhao Yesi held the bag and watched the wealthy sister drive her pink sports car out of the parking lot. He said to Lu Huangzhi beside him, "What did my cousin-in-law want in divorcing her? Because she's pretty, because she has a good figure, because she's likable?"
Lu Huangzhi casually placed his hand on Zhao Yesi's shoulder: "Go back to work, Zhao Zhitao."
Zhao Yexi had been toiling away for over two weeks, finally coming up with a draft for a special Omega subway car. He carefully selected a subway line for a trial run. To see the results firsthand, he disguised himself as an ordinary passenger and rode the subway for several days, experiencing firsthand the horrors of the Guangzhou Metro.
During the morning and evening rush hours, a magical phenomenon occurs on the subway: the subway moves forward without having to walk.
While busy with work, Zhao Yesi also did not forget to care about the progress of his rich sister's divorce.
Lu Huangzhi said that his cousin and her husband failed to reach an agreement on divorce and might have to file for divorce litigation.
"Why didn't it work?" Zhao Yesi lay on the sofa, his legs resting on Lu Huangzhi's thighs. "Could it be that Sister Siluo still doesn't want a divorce?"
Lu Huangzhi rubbed the junior's ankle, which was sore from standing for so long, and said, "Perhaps it's an issue regarding the division of property. Before filing for divorce, they will have one last meeting with their lawyers."
The physical contact between the two of them had become natural. After all, they had done the experiment so many times, even without props, and their entire bodies had been seen thoroughly by each other. As long as Lu Huangzhi didn't play tricks, Zhao Yexi believed he could remain calm.
"Are you feeling better?"
Zhao Yesi turned his ankle: "Yeah."
Lu Huangzhi took out a new pair of socks and helped Zhao Yesi put them on: "I'm curious. Don't you always get on the subway at the starting station? How come there are no seats?"
"Then I have to give up my seat to someone else. Today I gave up my seat to an old man."
Lu Huangzhi put on his socks, patted Zhao Yesi's foot, and said, "Why is there an old man in the Omega carriage?"
Zhao Yexi felt frustrated when he talked about this. "Yeah, I reminded him. But he said that the other carriages were crowded and he would be in danger. Omegas are all young men and women, why would they need seats? Then, he morally blackmailed me."
Lu Huangzhi said: "As long as you have no morals, he can't kidnap you."
"Forget it. I think he's at least 80 years old, and he's trembling when he walks." Zhao Yesi said depressedly, "What if something happens and he tries to scam me?"
"Don't go tomorrow. Let the subway department provide you with monitoring and data."
Zhao Yesi turned over and groaned, "My waist is sore too."
Lu Huangzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the narrow waist exposed under the elementary school principal's T-shirt, and chuckled softly.
Zhao Yesi turned around and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Lu Huangzhi put his hands on Zhao Yesi's thin waist and said behind his ear, "You have a nice waist, darling."
Zhao Yesi's old face turned red.
…God damn, my heart is as calm as water. Dating a guy like Lu Huangzhi, it’s impossible to have a calm heart.
A few days later on the weekend, Lu Siluo sent a WeChat message to Lu Huangzhi, saying that she was going to have a final interview with her husband.
[Lu Huangzhi: Do you need us to accompany you?]
[Siluo: Come on, if you're not busy, come on.]
Lu Huangzhi took Zhao Yexi to Lu Siluo's residence. Lu Siluo lived in the central old city of Suicheng, next to the most famous primary school in the city.
Zhao Yexi asked, "Sister, do you live here because of your degree?"
"Well, she likes children."
Zhao Yesi couldn't help but curse in his heart the cousin-in-law whom he had never met before.
Lu Huangzhi parked the car, and the two of them got out and saw two men in suits and ties walking out of the elevator. One of them paused slightly when he saw Lu Huangzhi.
Zhao Yesi asked, "Who is it?"
Lu Huangzhi didn't react in any special way: "Ex-cousin."
"Yo."
A man who could charm a white, rich, and beautiful woman to such a loss of her mind was certainly no ordinary man. His cousin's husband was dressed in a black suit, looking handsome, cool, and mature. He nodded at Lu Huangzhi, said nothing, and got into the business car parked nearby.
Zhao Yexi said: "My ex-brother-in-law is not as handsome as you."
Lu Huangzhi was not modest at all: "Yes."
Lu Siluo, who was at home, wore a white dress and received them without makeup. Zhao Yesi smelled the aroma of snail noodles as soon as he entered the door.
"I finally decided to divorce by agreement."
Lu Huangzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "What made you change your mind?"
"This way it's faster." Lu Siluo sat down on the sofa and picked up her teddy bear. "Seeing him fidgeting, as if there were dust floating in the air, I suddenly felt completely bored."
Lu Huangzhi said: "The smell of snail noodles in your house is quite strong."
Lu Siluo rolled her eyes: "This is my own home, what's wrong with it smelling like my pheromones?"
"Nothing." Lu Huangzhi said, "Congratulations."
Zhao Yesi clapped his hands and said, "Congratulations, sister, for getting out of this pit. You can eat snail noodles openly from now on."
Lu Siluo shook her hair and smiled: "Are you hungry? There's a place near my house that makes delicious snail noodles. I'll treat you."
The snail noodles that Lu Siluo took them to eat were said to be authentic handmade snail noodles. The shop was not big, but there were quite a few customers.
Zhao Yesi ordered a bowl of their signature river snail noodles with two fried eggs. The sour bamboo shoots and beans were sour, the fried bean curd sheets and peanuts were crispy, and the noodles had a nice chewy texture.
Lu Siluo looked at the two younger brothers sitting opposite her eating snail noodles. The cute one was still cute, and the handsome one was still handsome - eating snail noodles did not lower their status at all.
No matter what, her pheromones are pendant!
