As Qu Moyu’s wife, Shen Dai had to sit very close to Qu Shen, who was seated at the head of the table. This Chairman of the Board of Directors of theirs is not the largest shareholder of Xingzhou, Qu Moyu’s grandfather is. However, Qu Shen is currently the top decision-maker in Xingzhou. 

Old man Qu had already retired for many years. Various business segments of the group are divided into three parts and split between the hands of his two alpha sons and one alpha daughter. The most important rare earth-elements and non-ferrous metals are controlled by his second son Qu Shen. However, his eldest son also has the fast-growing chemical and energy projects in his hands. Qu Shen’s generation fought fiercely. When Qu Moyu was born, he thought that he had the future firmly in his hands since an S-level alpha would undoubtedly become the leader of Xingzhou group. Unexpectedly, Qu Chengchen was born the next year. Qu Moyu is neither from the eldest branch nor the eldest grandson. Qu Chengchen is from the eldest branch but not the eldest grandson, moreover, he’s the younger brother. From the perspective of inheritance, they’re both justified, whoever’s capable should do it, the one with talent and ability should be appointed. Old man Qu knows that the existence of two S-level alphas will bring endless internal friction. There have been checks and balances in recent years, but unfortunately, he’s old now, and the fight between his children and grandchildren has become more and more obvious.

Shen Dai thought of some gossip he heard from Cheng Zimei and couldn’t help secretly glancing at Qu Chengchen, who was arranged furthest away. For various reasons, he had bad feelings towards this man.

“My father asked me to bring a present for uncle.” Qu Chengchen smiled and said to Qu Shen, “Happy Birthday, uncle.”

Qu Shen nodded, “You’re very considerate. Chengchen, you are not young anymore, you need to know what’s too far and when to stop.” 

“Yes, I’m sorry for offending sao-zi.” Qu Chengchen said with a smile, “Come to speak of it, sao-zi and I are really fated, Xiao-Yue is actually sao-zi’s half-brother.”

Qu Moyu seemed calm, but his expression was already gloomy. Sitting by his side, Shen Dai could clearly feel the fluctuations of his angry pheromones. Although they were restrained, they were too close, Shen Dai felt a little stuffy.

Money is hard to earn, just like how shit is hard to eat, Shen Dai thought. After getting successively affected by two top-tier alpha pheromones, he had no appetite even when looking at a table full of delicious food.

An elder hurried to smooth things over, “We’re all family, we’re all family. Hey, should we open the wine I bought over today?”

This birthday party was more like a business dinner. The conversations on the table were all about business. Shen Dai ate and drank quietly in Qu Moyu’s shadow. His only hope was to be able to go back early to sleep. Throughout the dinner, he could always feel someone’s line of sight from the side. He knew that Qu Chengchen was looking at him, although gazes don’t hurt him, they made him uncomfortable.

He knew that Qu Chengchen deliberately used pheromone suppression against him, that he deliberately embarrassed him. From Qu Chengchen’s point of view, although he is innocent, his existence hindered the other. Qu Chengchen must’ve thought that after marking You Baiyue, he could destroy Qu Moyu’s marriage alliance with You family and cut off the important interests that both parties cared about. Unexpectedly, he appeared, proving that You Xinghai did not want to cooperate with Qu Chengchen and his schemes did not succeed.

He doesn’t want those things because they belong to You Baiyue. However, he also can’t deceive himself, he really wishes he could be Qu Moyu’s real wife.

On the way back, Qu Moyu also brought his low pressure aura inside the car. After several hesitations, Shen Dai decided to speak, otherwise, he didn’t know when they would meet again next time. He said quietly, “President Qu.”

“Mn.”

“Can I go home once every weekend? My grandmother lives alone.” 

Qu Moyu gave him a faint glance, “So you do have a request.”

Shen Dai was stunned, “What?”

“Before marriage, I asked you if you have any requests, why didn’t you mention it at that time.”

“I-, I didn’t think of it.” 

“There might be many more things you didn’t think of. Will they all be put forward one by one like this in the future?”

Shen Dai was at a loss to reply.

Qu Moyu gently lifted the corners of his lips, “Don’t be nervous, I’m not blaming you. I just see that, as an ordinary person, you choose to do nothing when you rarely have chips that could be played. I don’t quite appreciate this kind of unintelligent behavior. But after thinking about it, you’re only an omega after all.”

Shen Dai froze. 

“Of course you can go home. Why should I stop you from seeing your relatives?”

“… Thank you.”

“I said that as long as you do what you need to do, you will have freedom and respect. You did well today.”

“Thank you.” 

“But I have to remind you to be careful of Qu Chengchen.” Qu Moyu turned half of his body over and stared at Shen Dai. His pupils were black and deep. The blue ambient light in the car just happened to enter his eyes, faintly and swiftly, it added a little bit of charm to his eyes. “Growing up, he competed with me for everything, even things he didn’t need.”

Shen Dai frowned slightly, “I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Why do you think he marked You Baiyue?”

“In order to destroy your marriage and your cooperation with You Xinghai.” 

“Right, now that he didn’t succeed, he might try a different approach.” Qu Moyu gently stroked the ring on his index finger. “In our cooperation, it includes your loyalty, I can’t allow someone with the title of my wife to embarrass me. Can you understand if I say it like this?”

Shen Dai took a deep breath. “I understand, but today, he released…”

“I know, I’m just reminding you.” Qu Moyu turned his face back, “It’s not that I look down upon you, but that it’s hard for an omega to refuse a top-tier alpha.”

Shen Dai lowered his head and remained silent. Phrases like “you’re only an omega after all” and “for an omega” came one after another, everyone knows that alphas don’t treat betas and omegas as equal. Even if the whole world screamed for equality, S-class alphas won’t even treat ordinary alphas as equal. However, it still made him extremely uncomfortable feeling the condescension from Qu Moyu. 

“If he offends you, tell me.”

“… Yes.” Whenever he is with Qu Moyu, Shen Dai can always feel that invisible sense of oppression. Perhaps this is the so-called feeling of “accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger”? Sometimes he even wondered if the person who had given him a strong hug and gently comforted him beside his ear actually existed. He really was a little bit scared of Qu Moyu.

Friday after work, Shen Dai returned to his grandmother’s house. He had not yet thought of a good excuse for explaining how he suddenly got 10 million so he lied about receiving a project bonus. He planned to accompany his grandmother to the hospital this weekend to change to a better and more expensive treatment plan. After that, he’ll go house-hunting alone and plan to settle down in one that could be inhabited with little organizing as soon as possible. Both renovated or second-handed ones are okay, it mainly has to be clean and bright. It also needs to have a balcony with sufficient sunshine so that grandma can take good care of flowers and plants.

He went back to the company dormitory Sunday evening because it would take more than two hours to get to the company if he left grandma’s house the next day. Before sleeping, as he lay in bed playing on his phone, Cheng Zimei suddenly sent him gossip. He clicked into it and saw You Baiyue posted a couple picture with Qu Chengchen on his Weibo. Both of them have extremely good looks, from the beauty to the atmosphere, this picture seemed like a picture from an idol drama. 

An internet celebrity like You Baiyue can attract great attention no matter what he does, what he eats or wears, not to mention dating a top-tier alpha, the young master of the Qu family. You Baiyue can be called the son of heaven, his family background, wealth, genes, and beauty are all top tier. Even the mate he selected is beyond people’s reach. His existence will inevitably make people sigh that God is unfair.

Cheng Zimei sent a message on Wechat: Look, Qu Chengchen! I heard gossip before that the Crown Prince and Qu Chengchen were both pursuing You Baiyue, but it turned out that You Baiyue didn’t choose the Crown Prince.

Shen Dai felt a little flustered. He replied: Really? It shouldn’t be.

Cheng Zimei said: I also think so. Qu Chengchen looks fickle from a single glance. He’s only 23 yet there have already been all kinds of celebrities that were dug out with him in recent years. He can’t compare with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is the one that’s the first heir, he’s gentlemanly, steady, clean, and devoted to his career. What’s with You Baiyue’s taste. 

Shen Dai said: Things like love are hard to tell.

Cheng Zimei replied with a slumped face emote: Slag men are the best at sweet-talking. It must be so. The little princess, You Baiyue, definitely digs that. I don’t think they will last long.

Shen Dai thought, Qu Chengchen had already marked You Baiyue, it’s impossible for them to separate easily. However, what puzzled him is that the pregnancy rate is very high when marked. Plus, You Baiyue is an S-class Omega, so the pregnancy rate is even higher, it can reach more than 90%. However, You Baiyue doesn’t seem to be pregnant and Weibo didn’t reveal any information about their engagement or marriage. Why is it like this? Do they not have any intention to marry?

Cheng Zimei still feels aggrieved for Qu Moyu: The one our Crown Prince will marry in the future will definitely be the kind with good family background, good education, and very sophisticated. You Baiyue is too superficial to be worthy of our Crown Prince. 

Shen Dai felt deeply ashamed, but Cheng Zimei was right. She was talking about the one who Qu Moyu will “really” marry.
