Chapter 111: Just pretend it's a role-playing game between a young couple.
After Guan Ju finished speaking, Assistant Zhou, who was sitting in front of him, held his breath, wishing he could make himself less noticeable, afraid of hearing too many secrets and getting inexplicably caught up in the father and son's struggle.
“”
Perhaps too angry to speak, Guan Ming fell silent for a while.
"Is there anything else?" Guan Sui asked casually. "If not, I'll hang up now. I have a meeting in a bit, and I'll talk to you another day when I have time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a busy signal.
Guan Ming hung up the phone immediately.
I couldn't be bothered to say a single word to him.
Guan Ju stared at his phone screen, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.
Over the years, the father and son have often clashed, neither willing to give in to the other. Occasionally, a little care for each other would appear, but it wouldn't last long before new problems arose.
Guan Ju knew that Guan Ming wouldn't really force him to do anything.
Even if they don't go on blind dates or have children, the other person might just sulk at most, but they won't do anything as cold and hard as those characters in TV dramas who try to stop them or suspend their bank accounts.
Except for one time when he fell and broke his leg while riding a motorcycle and cornering during the summer vacation of his sophomore year of high school, Guan Ming forbade him from playing such thrilling activities again that night and threatened to sell all the motorcycles in his garage.
In the end, it's all just talk.
They rely entirely on making threats.
"Boss." Assistant Zhou parked the car in the garage.
Seeing that Alpha, who was sitting in the back seat, did not move, he reminded him, "The meeting will start in fifteen minutes."
Guan Sui turned off her phone screen, stuffed it back into her coat pocket, and responded with a rather indifferent "hmm."
·
Suicheng.
The Guan family's old house.
As soon as Lu Qing came downstairs, she saw Guan Ming sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, holding his phone and seemingly lost in thought.
Having been married for decades, Alpha knew his personality inside and out. Without asking, he knew that this expression meant he had spoken to Guan Sui on the phone, and the father and son had argued and fallen out over the topic, ending the conversation on bad terms.
"Have you called your son?" Lu Qing asked casually as he sat down next to Guan Ming.
Guan Ming's tone softened, becoming gentler: "We've already hit them."
Lu Qing: "How is he doing? Has he had any trouble adjusting since returning to China?"
"It's going to rain these next few days, so I reminded him to keep warm. If he catches a slight chill, his legs will hurt."
Guan Ming frowned and then relaxed: "I don't know, I didn't ask."
Lu Qing had long anticipated this outcome.
"You called him so early in the morning because you wanted to check on him, didn't you?"
Guan Ming's face was tense: "I arranged a blind date for him, and the Omega on the other end of the line had a 97% compatibility rate with him."
Lu Qing pursed her lips: "Are you going to interfere in your son's love life again? Have you forgotten that he has a boyfriend?"
Guan Ming frowned: "That's a Beta. Now that Guan Ju has amnesia, the two of them may not continue to be together."
Lu Qing, who was usually gentle, suddenly became cold and hard.
"Am I not a Beta?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Ming realized he had said the wrong thing and apologized very readily: "I didn't mean that."
"I am me, and Guan Ju is Guan Ju. There is an insurmountable gap between us in terms of pheromone levels."
No one says that Alphas can only be paired with Omegas, but Guan Ju's pheromone level is extremely high. If she had a compatible Omega by her side, everything would go much more smoothly—for example, during her fertile period and after the car accident.
They went abroad because Guan Ju's pheromone levels were too high, causing pheromone imbalance. Even though she has recovered now, they have all seen Guan Ju after she recovered from the car accident.
What parent wouldn't feel heartache?
Moreover, it's in their nature for Alphas to be attracted to Omegas with high compatibility.
If you want to have children, it would be better to be with an Omega.
“I know what you mean,” Lu Qing said. “You’re worried about your son, afraid that the child named Wen Song won’t be able to soothe the Alpha’s sensitive period. He has a high pheromone level, and he almost lost half his life in the car accident because of his pheromone problem.”
“But Omega is not your son’s life-saving tool, not to mention that Wen Song is a good boy and cannot be let down.”
Lu Qing lowered her eyelids: "And you're also worried that your son might let people down if he gets out of control during his vulnerable period, right?"
“I…” Guan Ming sighed.
Lu Qing said, "You should trust him."
"Because he is your son."
“At this point, let’s not even talk about whether he’s dating an Omega or a Beta,” Guan Ming said with a grim expression. “He’s really getting more and more brainless, actually hooking up with a married man!”
After saying this, he told his lover that Guan Ju had a boyfriend and that he would bring him home after the divorce.
Lu Qing: ""
Guan Ming sneered: "It would be better if you really got together with that Beta, at least you wouldn't embarrass our family."
If word gets out that Guan Ju was someone's mistress, where will he put his face? He'll be pointed at and gossiped about whenever he goes out.
"and--"
He also secretly underwent a vasectomy without telling his family.
"You brat, all you ever do is go against me."
Lu Qing: ""
That does sound quite relevant.
"Alright, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let him do whatever he wants."
"Maybe he's just trying to provoke you? Or maybe there's some other hidden reason. Don't you know your son's personality? He's proud and wouldn't do something so immoral."
Guan Ming sighed, "You just spoil him."
Lu Qing smiled and shook her head: "Don't you spoil him at all?"
Every time, Alpha appears serious and extremely controlling, but he has never interfered. Even after Guan Ju's car accident, despite seemingly disliking Wen Song, he still took over the rehabilitation project for Song Lanxue after her surgery.
"Never mind." Guan Ming said no more.
"We'll talk about it when he returns to Suicheng in a few days."
"I wonder when he will regain all his memories."
·
Wen Song went through the entire process of the morning meeting by himself.
She can handle sharp questions from other partners with ease and provide perfect responses without being intimidated or hesitant, and she is exceptionally professional at every level of her work.
He seems very reliable.
After the meeting.
Wen Song returned to her temporary workstation and began organizing the documents.
Ji Xingchen bought two cups of coffee downstairs, walked over, and placed one of them on the table.
Seeing this, Wen Song looked up, smiled, and said, "Thank you, President Ji."
Ji Xingchen leaned against the table, one hand in her pocket, the other holding a cup of coffee and taking a small sip.
"You're welcome."
"It was Mr. Guan who invited me."
The last four words, spoken aloud, carried a slightly ambiguous, teasing tone.
Wen Song was slow to catch it and didn't understand.
"Wen Song, there's something I want to ask you."
Ji Xingchen isn't a gossipy person, but now that his two business partners are involved, he's worried that if their relationship ends during the project, it might affect the progress.
Additionally, I'd like to remind Wen Song not to be deceived by Alphas.
Wen Song nodded: "Please go ahead."
Ji Xingchen: "You and—"
His gaze suddenly fell upon the red mark that had inadvertently appeared on Wen Song's neck, and he abruptly stopped speaking.
He is an adult Alpha.
He may have more experience in this area than Wen Song.
Even a fool could guess that the mark on the neck was a hickey.
This is terrible.
Before anyone could warn him to be wary of Alphas, Wen Song had already been completely devoured.
Seeing that Ji Xingchen seemed hesitant to speak, Wen Song asked, "Mr. Ji, what are you trying to say?"
Ji Xingchen lowered her head and sipped her coffee intently.
"fine."
Wen Song: ""
"OK."
He wasn't curious, so he didn't ask any further questions.
But seeing Ji Xingchen's hesitant and melancholy expression, I found it rather strange.
Could it be that—
Did something go wrong at his work?
Since the other party didn't bring it up again, Wen Song wouldn't ask. If he wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.
Wen Song looked at the unopened cup of coffee on the table, picked it up, and as if remembering something, took out her phone and took a picture.
Ji Xingchen sipped her bitter coffee, engaging in a brief internal struggle, before deciding to continue questioning and reminding Wen Song. Just as she turned her head, she said, "Um—"
It turned out that the other person had taken a picture of the coffee and sent it to a contact with the username "Three S's".
Hearing the sound, Wen Song looked up.
"Um?"
Ji Xingchen: "........."
He calmly took a sip of coffee and said, "It's nothing."
never mind.
They're just little tricks to show off their affection.
Never mind.
Just think of it as a young couple playing a role-playing game.
