Chapter 96

Although the current set of circumstances between Yan Jie and Yang Hengtian weren’t completely unheard of, Tang Ye still thought that their relationship was limited to that of good friends or was just one between a senior and a junior. Perhaps because of work, the two had interacted with each other for a long time and might seem to be quite intimate, but they were actually just friends, right?

Now it seemed that he had thought too simply.

Also, Xu Yao had never hinted anything about this to him. After returning from Tarot, he had single-mindedly been responsible for the Huaxia reconstruction project and always worked with Ling Qiao. Moreover, when the war with Sarna started, Tang Ye was quickly sent to Vodapei, so it wasn't due to ignorance that he seemed to know less about their relationship.

But Yang Hengtian with Yan Jie…

He remembered, before, didn’t Yan Jie say that he wanted to marry a beautiful Beta girl?

Tang Ye stared at Xu Yao as if hinting: We really don’t need to save Yan Jie?

Everyone knew that the physical fitness of a Beta wasn’t comparable to that of an Alpha. Not to mention when an Alpha’s desire had been induced by the pheromones released during estrus.

Even though Yan Jie worked in the Flying Wolf Division, in the end, he was just a technical engineer and his physical strength was weak. This was quite unlike Yang Hengtian, who had been carefully cultivated to become an excellent leader since his childhood by the Yang Family. Aside from not specifically undergoing training to resist pheromones, he was undoubtedly great in all other aspects.

Then, Xu Yao said something that pulled him back from his wandering thoughts, “Previously, Le Yao said that Yan Jie won’t marry a wife in this life, but a husband.”

“What a pitiful man…”

From within these three people, who also occupied the top three leadership positions of the Flying Wolf Division, Xu Yao and Tang Ye were approximately the same age, while Yan Jie was three or four years younger than them. They could pretty much be considered as older brothers, so both of them also treated Yan Jie as their younger brother in their day-to-day interactions.

His younger brother was going to be eaten by a wolf… Tang Ye’s heart actually ached with a bit of worry.

Sigh.

However, how could he possibly be in the mood to sympathize with another person when his mouth was this dry? The matter of Le Tianyu's strong pheromones spreading still had yet to be solved, but he was already worrying about Yan Jie.

Le Tianyu had a flushed appearance, with a thin layer of moisture gleaming on his skin and beads of sweat rolling down from his forehead. His eyes were enticingly wet. He moved forward with difficulty, trying to attract the attention of the two Alphas in front of him. No matter which one approached him, he secretly thought it would be fine just so long as they could help him assuage this itchy feeling.

However, these two men were completely unmoved. Xu Yao simply stood cold and expressionless without the slightest of reactions, while the other person was obviously affected but was still able to resist successfully.

“Please, please help, please help me…” Le Tianyu rubbed his body on the floor as he tried to inch forward. His whole body was burning, it was so very hot. He was so eager to be touched, hugged and he craved the sensation of being filled more than anything else.

“Aren’t you leaving yet? Can you still resist it?” Xu Yao directly asked Tang Ye.

“I must be able to endure it, ba. If I can’t bear something like this, then all my training is for naught. Also, I’ve been waiting to be promoted one of these days, to take your place, hehe.”

Tang Ye laughed and elbowed Xu Yao as he teased, “Besides, did you tell Le Yao before coming here that we'll be meeting with his brother? Is he the type to easily become jealous?”

Xu Yao replied, “Don’t mind him.”

“Why?”

Xu Yao kept his mouth shut and didn't reply. A few moments ago, he had pulled the communicator device on his wrist up to his eye-level, and clearly displayed on it was a photo of Le Yao.

Tang Ye suddenly glanced down, “… General, my good brother, ah. I’m so curious as to what thoughts are occupying your mind at this present moment.”

What he saw was a simple photo of Le Yao on the communicator, but…

Brother, ah. It’s okay to look at your wife through the screen, but what’s with moving your fingers so ambiguously back and forth on it?

Really, he was blind to not have been able to see it before!

Only upon seeing President Liu approach from afar did Xu Yao lower his wrist.

President Liu was still wondering about why such a potent inhibitor was needed and who the person using it would be. As a result, when he finally entered the restricted area, a strong blast of pheromones almost immediately caused his guard to fall.

He didn’t dare to step any further and simply stood at the doorway in order to minimize the amount of pheromones he inhaled. “General, this is the inhibitor you asked for! You need to use two, it seems like one might not be enough.”

Xu Yao strode over to receive the inhibitor, then walked back and unhesitatingly injected it into Le Tianyu's neck.

Le Tianyu was tied up and his numerous efforts to move earlier hadn’t borne a good result, so he really couldn’t move that far. Now, after the injection, the pheromones being emitted from his body were slowly fading, fatigue overtook him and he fell into unconsciousness.

The intelligent robot came over to take the used syringe away and Xu Yao said, “Keep the hover car closed and don’t let anyone contact him.”

Tang Ye was finally able to relax a little bit after all this was resolved. Pointing at his hover car, he said, “Then let's just shut him here first, no one can come in anyway. My hover car is temporarily out of use. Let Leslie monitor him in safe mode.”

Xu Yao nodded in affirmation before turning to ask President Liu, “How long can the effect of this inhibitor last for?”

“It’s hard to say. In this case, it is quite obvious that he used a drug to force his own estrus, but I'm not able to determine which specific drug he might have used without performing a blood analysis.”

“Then do the blood test.”

President Liu had already considered this possibility and had prepared enough things in advance, meaning that he wouldn't need to make another trip back to the hospital. He retrieved a super-fine needle syringe from his coat pocket meant to collect the blood sample, and then drew an ample amount of Le Tianyu’s blood.

“Will he stay asleep like this?”

“He shouldn't. If the drug he used was strong enough, he’ll probably wake up in a few hours. Of course, everything depends on the result of the analysis. Well, if the two of you don’t need anything else, I’ll head back and perform the tests first.”

Xu Yao nodded. “Alright.”

President Liu didn’t deliberately inquire about the identity of the constrained person. He simply packed his things and went back to the hospital.

Xu Yao and Tang Ye remained and observed for a while, just to confirm that Le Tianyu showed no signs of waking up, before they left the restricted area.

Yan Jie had still not returned.

At this time, the three of them should have been participating in a meeting at the Command Center, but Yan Jie didn’t show up.

Yang Hengtian also didn’t come. The two of them didn’t know where Yan Jie had taken him to after escaping from the restricted area.

Xu Yao asked Leslie, “What is Yan Jie's current position?”

“Still in his hover car. Currently, the hover car is in a suspended state, and is stationary near the seaside, located east of the station.”

Tang Ye laughed. “It seems that in the future, our division will be welcoming a wealthy brother-in-law, ah. Hahahaha!”

Leslie interrupted, “Then, you'll be the only one within the top leadership of the division who’s still single.”

Tang Ye: “…”

How could this be? Leslie didn’t talk in such a manner before?!

Tang Ye suddenly didn’t want Yang Hengtian to succeed so quickly and easily. He didn’t have the nerve to tell anyone that his grandfather had recently contacted him several times to ask when he would be getting married! If he couldn’t find anyone suitable from within the army, then his grandfather had said that he would happily arrange a blind date for him!

Perhaps he should ask Le Yao to calculate where and who his future partner was…

At the same time, Le Yao was thinking about potential names for the children at home.

After the three little ones were born, they still had to be given proper names. Right now, they were simply called ‘Lao Da, Lao Er, Lao San‘, but this type of a nickname obviously couldn't be used forever.

His husband and parents-in-law had given him the right to choose the names for the children, since he was the one who suffered the hardest during the birthing process.

In fact, he didn’t particularly mind who ended up naming the children; anyone from their family, either himself, Xu Yao, or their grandparents, would do. But, since they had given him this opportunity, he definitely would not refuse it.

He had calculated the children's fate a few days after they were born, and had thought up numerous names based on these results. But, in the end, only the three names ‘Xu Hang‘, ‘Xu Wei‘ and ‘Xu Li‘ got his seal of approval.

However, the only thing was that, after thinking a bit too much about it, they sounded really quite ordinary.

Le Yao had contemplated for a while and had just come to the conclusion that letting Xu Yao and his parents-in-law look over the names he had chosen before deciding all together would be best, when a call suddenly sounded from his communicator device.

It was Yan Jie.

Le Yao quickly accepted the call. “Brother Yan, is there something you need?”

Yan Jie remained silent for a while, because he was quite embarrassed to ask Le Yao this particular question.

“Mr Xiao Le, that… you said before that I won’t have a wife in this lifetime and only a husband. Is that, is that really true?”

"I never joke about such things. Brother Yan, why are you asking this so suddenly?”

Yan Jie: “…”

Through the hover car window, Yan Jie could make out the figure of a certain alpha standing outside on the seashore, who sported a large bite mark on his ear.

“That… that, Mr Xiao Le, can you help me calculate whether someone has a certain kind of fate with me?” Suddenly feeling hesitant, before Le Yao could answer his question, he rushed to interrupt, “Ah, forget it, I still don’t—”

However, Le Yao had already pinched his fingers to calculate it. “I don’t think you need a calculation for it, anyway, the result won’t change even if I re-calculate it.”

Yan Jie didn’t know why, but his face heated up and he inwardly thought that he must look as red as a cooked shrimp right now!

At this moment, Yang Hengtian had arrived outside the door of the hover car.

Yan Jie had initially thought to let him go outside so that he could cool down and calm his mind. However, contrary to his expectations, Yang Hengtian’s mind was currently as messy as hell!

Being inside or not didn't really make a difference to him. He couldn’t imagine how much cooler or calmer he could possibly get when he was standing at a spot where the temperature was more than forty degrees at least. Simply not being heatstroken was a demonstration of his excellent level of physical fitness.

Previously, he had travelled directly to the Command Center with Yan Jie in order to discuss matters with Xu Yao, but, on arrival, he met with an unexpected situation. He had then wanted to return to his residence. But instead, for some reason, Yan Jie brought him here.

Following that, Yan Jie let him jump into the sea…

“Aren’t we in a hurry?” Yang Hengtian asked.

Yan Jie uncomfortably turned his head to him. “It’s almost… It’s almost time to go back.”

“Your hand…” Yan Jie was holding onto the window's frame, and Yang Hengtian could clearly see the red handprint encircling his wrist. It was most likely the consequence of his hard grip some time ago.

“…It’s alright.” Yan Jie quickly lowered his hand. The thought of previously being caught and held by Yang Hengtian made his heart beat rapidly.

At that time, after the two of them had managed to leave the restricted area, Yang Hengtian finally couldn’t control his desire. He had pounced on Yan Jie as soon as they exited the area.

Yan Jie was not as strong as Yang Hengtian, and had been really quite startled when Yang Hengtian began to kiss him madly, without the slightest hesitation. He had never felt so overwhelmed even when he had practiced sparring with others before, but, somehow, he felt totally helpless today.

Nervousness, embarrassment, and then a little panic…

Once back inside, Yang Hengtian sat down and very solemnly said, “I won’t treat you the same as everyone else after this, you are you. Just now—”

Yan Jie interrupted, “Don’t say it!”

Yang Hengtian inclined his face to the side. “Then, you can punch me for it. I won’t say it anymore.”

Yan Jie looked at him, pondering for a while before finally saying, “… You don’t have to go that far.”

“No. I think you've misunderstood the situation, so I want to explain.”

Yan Jie shouted, “I didn't misunderstand! Who misunderstood? You smelt someone else's pheromones but then pounced on me. What is it that you want to explain? You…"

Fuck! What the hell is he talking about? Why does he sound like a jealous wife?!

Yan Jie knocked at his own head, and Yang Hengtian watched him with amusement.

“So, you mean to say that, I can pounce on you if I don't smell another person's pheromones?” Yang Hengtian asked.

“That’s not what I mean. Don’t just blindly misunderstand!” Yan Jie was so scared that he retreated uneasily to the side.

After finally arriving at the Command Center, Yan Jie hurriedly walked out.

Le Yao, who came to find Xu Yao and to bring over the children to the hospital, just so happened to meet Yan Jie. He hadn't seen Yang Hengtian yet and so asked casually, “Brother Yan, your neck…”

Yan Jie hurriedly covered his neck. “What’s wrong with my neck?”

Le Yao smiled and said, “There’s nothing wrong—it's just—there’s a red mark on your neck.”

Yan Jie then remembered how Yang Hengtian had been hugging him and sucking his neck fiercely. He couldn’t help but glare at Yang Hengtian, who was behind him.

Yang Hengtian had caught up with their conversation by this point. “It’s rare to meet the one you like, so I need to make a mark first.”

As he said this, Li Chenfei, along with the various leaders of several regiments, also arrived. “What mark?”

Yang Hengtian smiled meaningfully. “The mark of love.”

“Pffttt!” Le Yao couldn’t help but laugh.

On the other side, Yan Jie, who was still covering his neck and blushing, couldn’t wait to kill Yang Hengtian on the spot!

…

Frozenmirage: Ahhh, what's with this false alarm… I thought they will—(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Qiuxue: Eh, but, I-I've been waiting so long…!

Noks: Nooooo…what happened to the cementing of this CP??? Seriously, they're still ambiguous about it???!!! Too slow, Yan Jie, too f*cking slow, man!
