After knowing that all this was a cruel prank by Zhu Li, although I was depressed, I also tried to explain it to Song Bai Lao.

But he has already blacklisted my communication method, let alone phone calls, not even a text message.

A few days later, Zhu Li went abroad, and I finally no longer had to suffer under the same roof with him. We never saw each other again for seven years.

Although Song Bai Lao and I are not even friends, I still don’t want him to think that I am a despicable person. I managed to get the address of Song Bai Lao’s house and wanted to meet him and talk about that day. Every time I went to find him, his servant would tell me that he had gone out. Once the number of times is more, no matter how stupid you are, you will know that he is deliberately not seeing me.

After a summer vacation, I failed to knock on his door successfully.

This may be fate, and in the end, I had no choice but to give up.

After school started, I was in my third year of high school, and I still went to the rooftop during my lunch break, but there was no one who wanted to eat my dim sum.

It’s really scary to get used to this stuff, even though I’m the only one left, I still prepare dim sum for two for a long time.

About a day after school started, I opened the lunch box and saw two muffins inside. I was stunned for a while, realizing that I had done too much.

After eating one silently, I was already a little full when I picked up the second one, but I continued to shove it into my mouth, halfway through, and suddenly felt nauseated in my stomach and vomited it all out.

At that time, I didn’t think too much. I thought I just ate too much and didn’t go to the doctor.

When I first felt something moving in my body, it had been four months since the equipment room incident.

Zhu Li is really a crow’s mouth, but only once, I was pregnant.

“You have such a big temper now.” Zhu Li wiped the juice from his face, and his smile faded, but he did not get angry.

However, the cold light in his eyes made me realize that his heart was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface. This is what I admire about him. He is always decent in front of outsiders, pursues perfection, and is a typical performer.

The old memory is not very good, I just want to get away from him as soon as possible, and never have an intersection with this person again.

“I have nothing to say to you, take care of yourself.” I glanced at the back of his neck, and although he covered it with a collar, as long as I was careful enough, I could still see a little dark red scar—— That’s proof that he was marked.

Zhu Li frowned, and the coldness in his eyes filled his elegant face.

“What a pity.”

His words were endless and questionable, but I wasn’t interested. I found that not far from where I was standing, Li Xun was walking through the stream of people, and I didn’t look at Zhu Li, I raised my foot and rushed over.

As soon as I stood still, Li Xun arrived.

“I found Mr. Song, and he asked me to take you there.”

She led the way, crossed the small bend bridge, and entered an octagonal pavilion built on a pool.

The seats around the pavilion were covered with soft cushions, and the light was a bit ambiguous. There were three people sitting in the corner, all of them familiar faces.

When I saw Zhu Li just now, I was wondering if Zhu Yun Sheng and Ning Shi would be there, and I saw it now. The couple sat closely together, Ning Shi hooked her husband’s arm and leaned over half of her body, while Zhu Yun Sheng sat there, discussing something with Song Bai Lao opposite.

“That’s it…”

Seeing me coming, Zhu Yun Sheng ended the conversation abruptly, and said with a smile, “Ning Yu is here.”

The man who had his back turned to me paused for a while, straightened his back and turned his head to look at me.

Our eyes met firmly in the air, and the next second, before I could react, Song Bai Lao suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand towards me.

“Why did you come? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

He seems to have never quarreled, and there is no cold war between us, smiling like a tender and considerate new husband, doting on his less sensible partner.

After hesitating for a moment, I held that large and warm palm and let him lead me to sit on the sofa.

When I sat next to him, he quietly let go of his hand, and after a while he gently wrapped my waist.

Ning Shi seemed to have drunk some wine, her face flushed red, and she rubbed against Zhu Yun Sheng like a clinging and beautiful Persian cat, playing with his cufflinks. When her eyes passed by me, she just swept over indifferently and didn’t stop.

She only has her husband in her eyes, and everything else is just an optional roadside weed, harmless but worthless.

Song Bai Lao and I, she and Zhu Yunsheng, sat opposite each other, like projections of each other. The Alpha has a casual attitude and masters the sovereignty, while the Beta is attached to it, like a pet.

I don’t need to please my Alpha like Ning Shi, because Song Bai Lao will not be pleased by my attitude. I don’t know whether to call it lucky or unfortunate.

“The sharing of technology will start after we sign a strategic agreement. At present, Xia Sheng is studying and improving new energy batteries. After that, maybe the two companies can jointly form a research group to share the results and form a win-win situation.” Song Bai Lao said to Zhu Yun Sheng. Raising the champagne in his hand, “It’s all family, I can say anything.”

“Yes, yes, my family.” Zhu Yun Sheng smiled back at him, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

As they were talking, by the pool outside the pavilion, a tall middle-aged beautiful woman tapped the round wine glass in her hand with a fork, attracting everyone’s attention with a loud voice.

“Thank you everyone for coming today…” When everyone looked over, a man in his 60s, wearing a velvet tuxedo, with silver hair and a beard, said loudly beside the beautiful woman.

With such a master-like tone, it is easy for people to guess his identity. This must be the Mr. Senator who organized this charity reception tonight.

And Zhu Yun Sheng’s subsequent words also confirmed my guess.

“Ms. Fan, this is the last year, right?”

Song Bai Lao stared at a certain point next to Mr. Fan, squinted and said, “Yes, I can retire and enjoy a happy life next year.”

Zhu Yun Sheng smiled: “It’s also time to find a successor. Someone has taken over this game.”

In their opinion, today’s game is no different from any wine and dinner game. Every year, they spend millions to earn a charitable name, have the opportunity to make friends with upstarts, expand their contacts, and stabilize their position in the circle. Why not.

Sometimes business is business, and sometimes business is an opportunity created by man.

My eyesight is not as good as Song Bai Lao’s, so I don’t know what he is looking at, but after a while, Assemblyman Fan finished a polite opening speech and began to get to the point.

“Everyone knows that I’m in my late 70s. Although my body is still strong, it’s time to retire and enjoy my old age. I won’t be the one to organize this reception next year,” he said with a grand introduction to everyone. “It’s my little brother who is solely responsible for it.”

One person slowly stepped out of the shadows and stood under the light. He has a noble appearance and a very tall stature.

I finally knew what Song Bai Lao was looking at, it turned out to be Luo Qinghe.

“Thank you Brother Fan for looking down on me.” He held the champagne in one hand and put the other hand in the pocket of his trousers, with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, “Good evening everyone, I’m Luo Qinghe, I believe many people know me, I’m glad today… ”

Song Bai Lao snorted softly, and withdrew his gaze.

From his reaction, it is not difficult to see that during the period of our cold war, his relationship with Luo Qinghe did not warm up.

Song Bai Lao let go of my hand and said to Zhu Yun Sheng, “I’m going outside to smoke a cigarette.”

He got up and left without saying a word to me, but it seemed that I was a dispensable decoration.

“Have you seen Zhu Li?”

I looked back, and Zhu Yun Sheng looked at me gently, like an ordinary elder who talked to the younger generation.

“I see.” I nodded.

“He’s not in a good mood recently. You can keep in touch with each other.” He smiled, “I remember that you two had a good relationship before, so don’t get separated because you haven’t seen each other for so many years.”

Ning Shi was completely lazy now. Her eyes, she looked at me, in sharp contrast to Zhu Yun Sheng’s gentleness, her eyes were full of warning and coldness.

She is warning me to be smart and not to take refuge in the wrong person, otherwise I will never have my good fruit to eat.

In fact, she can rest assured that even if she forces me with a gun, I will never have anything to do with Zhu Li.

“Don’t worry.” As I spoke, I quickly glanced at Ning Shi. The answer to Zhu Yunsheng was actually a reassurance for Ning Shi.

Zhu Li and Zhu Yun Sheng are father and son in the end, being left out for a while does not mean being left out for a lifetime, especially now that the cooperation between the Zhu family and Xia Sheng is already in full swing. When everything is in order, Zhu Yun Sheng will always forget what happened to Zhu Li and reconcile with him. At that time, Ning Shi will only have my trump card.

So she will never let me go easily.

Thinking of this, my heart sank.

Ning Shi said that as long as I was obedient, she would bring Youyou to see me, but how could be “obedient”?

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the pavilion, accompanied by exclamations and screams.

“Beta is the most noble, Alpha and Omega are just mutant beasts! See your true colors! This world belongs to Beta!” A naked man with “Long Live Beta” written on his body somehow broke in. Holding a bottle of something in his hand, he threw the bottle to the ground, and the scattered glass fragments scared all the Omegas.

The liquid in the bottle volatilized into mist, and a strong fragrance gradually filled the field.

Someone shouted, “No, it’s an Omega’s pheromone!”

Zhu Yun Sheng, who was sitting across from me, stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and scolded, “These damn radicals!” He glanced at Ning Shi, who was still sitting. “Why don’t you go quickly?” After saying that, he quickly walked out by himself.

Ning Shi hurriedly got up and chased after him, without even looking at me.

The venue was chaotic. Unmarked Alphas and Omega locusts rushed to the door. The eagerness of the ebb tide seemed a little funny at first glance.

Everyone is reluctant to be the talk of the table after this reception, and let their embarrassed posture fall into the eyes of others. No one cares about anyone. Security guards maintained order against the flow of people, but the scene was so chaotic that many people even had their shoes stepped off.

Li Xun frowned and said, “Mr. Ning, let’s go too, we don’t know what will happen here.”

Her worries were not unreasonable. After all, Alpha estrus is very dangerous. I don’t know if there is anything else in the bottle. Even in an open environment, I don’t know what people who inhale those gases will do.

Occasionally, there are such extreme Beta-supreme people who have completely rebelled in the long-term oppression. The way they attack AO can be called inferior.

I hurriedly got up and walked out with Li Xun, thinking of Song Bai Lao halfway through.

“Secretary Li, Song Bai Lao he…”

Before I could finish speaking, Li Xun was thrown down by an Alpha who came up from behind.

Everything happened in an instant, the other party roared and showed his canine teeth, and couldn’t wait to pull Li Xun’s clothes.

Li Xun screamed and resisted. I hurriedly picked up a stone next to me and threw it at the Alpha. Then I pushed him away, and helped Li Xun, who was still in shock, to flee out the door.

Just before I could escape a few steps, someone grabbed my hair roughly from behind me. I reluctantly looked back and found that the Alpha was still conscious. His face was bloody, his eyes flashed with animality, and he aimed his canine teeth at the side of my neck.

I closed my eyes and prepared to endure the severe pain. The pain didn’t come as expected. Instead, the Alpha let out a painful moan from behind, and suddenly released the restraint on me.

I covered my neck and turned my head, Song Bai Lao kicked the Alpha under his feet with a ferocious face, kicking the man until his mouth and nose bleed, and he was dying.

He is ruthless and merciless, like a lion whose territory has been invaded by other beasts, furious and mad.

I was startled and felt that the Alpha was going to be kicked to death by him, so I hurriedly stopped him: “Okay, okay! Let’s go.”

He looked at me with red eyes, panting heavily, and his eyes were blatant, I realized this. It wasn’t quite right for him either.

“I accidentally inhaled some of that stuff…” He swayed and put a hand on his forehead.

I supported him and quickly let Li Xun open the way.

Li Xun was also frightened by a series of changes, and walked in front with a pale face, pushing the crowd away for us.

After finally getting back to the car in the chaos, Li Xun sat in the front row, Song Bai Lao and I sat in the back row.

Song Bai Lao was sweating in just ten minutes. I saw that the tip of his temples and nose were wet, and I worried: “Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

Two words: “Shut up.”

I pursed my lips and said nothing.

When he got out of the car, Song Bai Lao was shaking uncontrollably. Li Xun and I worked together to help him to the door of the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Xun ruthlessly pushed out the door without saying a word.

The door slammed hard, and Song Bai Lao eagerly pulled me and pressed me against the wall, kissing me for the first time.
