The efficiency of the things that happened next was so high that Shen Dai was caught off guard.

First, You Xinghai’s lawyer came to find him, signed some contracts with him, and helped him transfer his household registration. He didn’t want to change his surname, which You Xinghai didn’t care about at all. All in all, they are now father and son legally recognized by the law. 

His omega father was abandoned by You Xinghai in the past, when he took Shen Dai to the You family, he was sent away by a mere million. No one would have expected that one day, You Xinghai needed him to take the initiative to recognize his origins. Although he felt disgusted, he had to lower his head for the money.

After completing the formalities, he got the money. Looking at the long string of zeros on the check, it felt even more exciting than when he made a set of excellent experimental data.

He made a plan in his mind. He will first pay back the money he owed, which will leave him with more than two million. Although it was not enough to buy a house, it’s enough for a down payment. His grandma has medical insurance and pension, and adding his salary, he should have no problem with medical treatment, mortgage, and daily expenses. Without this heavy load in his heart, he suddenly felt that the wind was light, the clouds were clear, and the road to the future was open. However, he still has to figure out a way to explain to his grandma how he suddenly got so much money. As for marriage, he decided to hide it for as long as he could.

The next day, he had to take another half-day off. Early in the morning, he went to the marriage registration office with Qu Moyu to take photos, register, review, and sign the papers. He could clearly feel Qu Moyu’s displeasure with these processes. In order to prevent being photographed by the media, they came before it opened. Unfortunately, no matter how rich Qu Moyu is, he still had to come personally. 

After that, Qu Moyu left in a hurry.

Shen Dai looked at the little red book in his hand and the photo of the two, then dazed for a moment. He never imagined what kind of person he would marry. In all those years of debt, he only knew that he shouldn’t be dragging other people down, so he cut off the idea of starting any feelings. His fantasy of Qu Moyu was like a piece of candy in his pocket. It’s enough to occasionally taste the sweetness, after all, a little bit of placebo is needed in one’s life.

At this moment, he looked at the two people in the photo, one reserved and the other perfunctory. They both didn’t smile. If it weren’t for the red background and it being pasted on the red marriage certificate, no one would believe that it was a marriage photo. However, in his eyes, Qu Moyu’s face is glittering, it was a face that no candy nor any placebo could compare. To him, this person is a path of light that allows him to feel the brightness and warmth in the dark abyss. Twice, at that. The first time, he saved him when he went into heat due to a setup. When all the alphas around him were almost out of control, only Qu Moyu comforted him with his powerful pheromone control and helped him avoid unimaginable aftermaths. The second time, it was even more as if he descended from the heavens without warning, pulling him out of the crisis of his bottomless debt.

Shen Dai is a scientist, but he can’t help believing in fatalism at this moment. Perhaps there really is some fate between him and Qu Moyu?

His thoughts were interrupted by lawyer Chen’s voice. In the next moment, his marriage certificate was taken away.

Lawyer Chen put the little red book into his briefcase, “All these things will be kept by me, you don’t have to worry about it. There’s a car waiting for you outside, it will take you to President Qu’s residence.”

“Right now?” Shen Dai looked at his watch. “I only took half a day off.”

Lawyer Chen laughed, “You are now President Qu’s wife. Nothing will happen even if you take the other half of the day off. I’ll see you off.” 

Shen Dai genuinely felt uncomfortable with this title, and the sense of unreality that ran through this whole matter never dissipated.

Lawyer Chen glanced at his mobile phone screen, “There’s no need to worry, this car will be assigned to you in the future and will be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off.” 

Shen Dai looked at Lawyer Chen in surprise, “It’s not appropriate. I can’t explain it to my colleagues if such a car picks me up and drops me off. It also goes against confidentiality.”

“You can negotiate a better plan with President Qu’s housekeeper.”

“All right.”

The car drove underground, and a male beta with a head full of Argentum cream was waiting at the door. 

“Hello, Mr. Shen. I’m the housekeeper here. You can call me Uncle Heng. I welcome you to this house.”

“Hello.” Shen Dai looked at the unsmiling man in front of him and felt very clearly that he did not actually want to “welcome” him.

After Lawyer Chen left, Uncle Heng took Shen Dai upstairs and gave him a general introduction to the functional areas of the villa. He felt like someone looking to buy the house. Uncle Heng introduced while walking, he basically stated clearly the borderlines of his life here, such as “Your room is the southernmost one on the second floor”, “The whole third floor is the young master’s private activity area. Please do not go up without permission”, “You can choose to eat in your room or the dining room. However, when the time comes that I suggest you eat in your room, it is when the young master does not want to be disturbed”, “The gym and swimming pool on the ground floor can be used as long as the young master is not using it”. Listening up to here, he felt more like someone visiting hotel rooms. After all, he couldn’t afford such a house and is just staying here temporarily.

Finally, Uncle Heng brought Shen Dai into his room. Although it was only a guest room, it was still bigger than many small houses. It was equipped with a bathroom, a walk-in closet, and had all the necessary living facilities and items. Let alone his bag, he can even live here if he bought just his physical body over. He can even survive here without leaving the house, which was just what Shen Dai wanted. 

Uncle Heng said, “I don’t know what special preferences you have in life but I prepared some in advance. If you think the fabric of bed products is not comfortable enough, or if the bathroom products are not your favorite brand, or if the coffee does not taste good enough, you can tell me.”

“Thank you. Everything is fine.”

“The young master said that you will go to work every day. Do you have any prefer-…”

“Oh, it’s not necessary. It’s not suitable for me to take such a car. I live in the company dormitory most of the time, I can just take a taxi.” Of course, Shen Dai knows that this family rejects his intrusion, the intrusion of a stranger. It’s impossible for him to bring contempt upon himself. If it’s not necessary, he’ll try to come back as little as possible and make people dislike him less. 

Uncle Heng’s eyebrows moved a bit and seemed to be surprised, “Okay, do you have any other requirements, eating habits, and the like?”

“No, whatever is fine.” Shen Dai said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to the company.”

Uncle Heng stared at Shen Dai and asked again, “Do you really have no requirements?”

“Uh, not at the moment. I’ll tell you if I think of anything.” 

“Okay, I’ll see you out.”

The two went down the stairs but happened to see Qu Moyu entering the door.

When Qu Moyu saw Shen Dai, it was obvious that he was stunned for a bit. He didn’t seem to understand why this man appeared in his home, but he quickly realized.

“Young master, why did you come back?” 

“I got up too early this morning. I came back for a rest since I happened to be near home just now.” Qu Moyu took off his suit and handed it to Uncle Heng, “I already had lunch.” He took off his tie and looked at Shen Dai with an inquisitive gaze.

“President Qu.” Shen Dai nodded slightly, then lowered his eyes. Qu Moyu’s single action of pulling his tie can really make people’s hearts beat, it was truly fatal.

“How’s the environment?” Qu Moyu asked casually.

“It’s good.” 

“If you need something, just tell Uncle Heng.”

“Okay, thank you.” Shen Dai said, “I’ll go back to the company first. I usually live in the company dormitory, I won’t be much of a disturbance to you.”

Qu Moyu looked at Shen Dai: “You’re going to live in the company dormitory?”

“Yes, I…” 

“We’re already married. You need to live at home.” Qu Moyu gave his tie to Uncle Heng and walked to the sofa, “Tea.”

Shen Dai hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to Qu Moyu’s side and stood aside like an employee here for a hearing. In fact, he is indeed Qu Moyu’s employee.

Uncle Heng brought over the tea and put it on the coffee table, then retreated to one side.

Qu Moyu slowly took a sip of tea, then leaned his entire relaxed upper body close to the leather sofa. He took out his mobile phone and looked through it. At the same time, he said, “Although this is a cooperation, there are some things that need to be maintained for appearances, which you may not understand, but you can still do so anyway, right?” 

Shen Dai inexplicably felt some kind of pressure. Even though Qu Moyu didn’t even look at him, he said, “Yes.”

“Are you dissatisfied with the residence? Or do you have any psychological barriers?”

“No, it’s fine here. I’m just afraid of disturbing you.”

“The house is very big, I believe you are a person with a sense of propriety and won’t disturb me.” Qu Moyu suddenly stopped his fingers from typing and glanced up at Shen Dai, “Or perhaps, are you afraid that I’ll ask you to fulfill some of the ‘obligations’ of a wife?” 

Shen Dai felt his face burn a little. He secretly peeked at Uncle Heng and noticed that Uncle Heng stood there with a humble posture showing absolutely no reaction. He lowered his head and didn’t know how to answer.

“You can rest assured that I have no other ‘needs’ from you other than writing that contract. You can live here at ease.”

Qu Moyu’s last few words did not lose their politeness, but every word was a slap in Shen Dai’s face. It was advice, a wake-up call, and a warning. He remembered the clause in the contract —— that he cannot conceive President Qu’s offspring without authorization. There are countless people who want to please such a blessed alpha like Qu Moyu. It even went as far as firing 3 people the first year after Qu Moyu took charge of the company just so that he could cut off the indiscriminate desires of anyone in the company. It’ll be a joke if Shen Dai said he’s worried about what Qu Moyu might do to him. Qu Moyu should be the one who’s worried about him plotting a conspiracy. Qu Moyu will not let an omega of ordinary origin with an ordinary pheromone level get pregnant with the children of the Qu family. This is why he wrote this clause in black on white and included it in the contract.

He isn’t stupid. He knew from the start that Qu Moyu would not touch him. It’s just that hearing these painful words from someone he admired, he was truly embarrassed.
