Shen Dai locked himself in the room for a whole day, analysing the current situation. His sadness and anger were constantly interfering with his thinking. They were dragging him into the quagmire of anxiety. He sometimes thought of Qu Moyu and the look in his eyes. Also the words he said to him. His tears would fall without warning.

He really wanted to just sleep, to see if he would wake up and find that this is all just a nightmare.And Qu Moyu would still hold him and not let him go. And he would tell him those things he would only say during the susceptible period. Those silly but sweet words. But he couldn’t sleep. He couldn’t sleep night after night.

In the torment of counting the seconds that passed by, he managed to determine two things. Firstly, he really loves Qu Moyu. No matter how the mark came about, they have become something unforgettable to each other for a lifetime. The impact of the mark on people has a strength that is no less than imprinted in blood. Even if it is two completely estranged alpha and omega, after marking, they will gradually fall in love with each other. He has an absolute advantage and cannot give up the possibility of Qu Moyu falling in love with him at this time. Secondly, they have been together for more than half a year. People normally will have feelings. Qu Moyu’s only acting this way now mostly out of misunderstanding. As long as he can prove his innocence, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved, Qu Moyu won’t be so ruthless.

Shen Dai repeatedly recited in his heart that he should be result-oriented and he should solve this problem.

He got up from the bed, took a cold shower, prepared a recorder and called Shen Qin.

After the phone rang for a long time before answering, Shen Qin said “Hello” very softly, unable to hide his guilty conscience.

“How did you and Qu Chengchen know each other?” Shen Dai’s voice was cold and he went straight to the topic without saying a word of nonsense.

Shen Qin whispered: “The last time I went to find You Xinghai, he happened to be there.”

“How did you know Qu Moyu’s identity?”

“When the founder of Xingzhou died, I saw his car on TV.”

“Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?” Shen Dai slowly clenched his fists. It might be a good thing not to meet him. If Shen Qin stood in front of him now, he didn’t know if he would be able to control himself.

“I did it for…”

Shen Dai roared: “You dare to say it’s for my good!”

There were a few rapid breaths on the other end of the phone: “You and him are married. Don’t you want him to mark you?” Shen Qin changed from his previous submissiveness and his voice became sharp, “You should really thank me. I’ve got you into the boat of an heir. Is it possible for you as a B-level omega to get an S-level alpha’s mark in this life? I am your father. Whether it is for you or for me, it is the same thing!”

Shen Dai was trembling with anger: “The mark obtained by this method will ruin my relationship with him! Have you ever thought about it? You don’t care at all. You only care about yourself!”

“As long as there is a mark, everything will be okay.” Shen Qin said excitedly, “Ah Dai, listen to me. He will soften your heart. The longer the mark is there, the deeper the impact will be. When you have his child, he can’t do anything to you and you will have everything in the future.”

Shen Dai said coldly, “You thought so too back then.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

“You didn’t get You Xinghai’s mark. So you wanted to blackmail him through me. In the end, you didn’t get anything except me as a burden.” Shen Dai closed his eyes in pain. He thought he would not do this again. Shen Qin shed a tear, but at this moment, the wound of him being neglected by his biological father in his childhood when he needed love the most was opened again. He gritted his teeth, “You ruined your life. And you want to ruin mine!”

He wanted Qu Moyu’s mark when they were in love with each other. Originally, he was approaching Qu Moyu’s heart step by step. Step by step getting into the door. But now it was severely closed in front of him.

Shen Qin choked and said, “I just don’t want you to end up like me. If I had a mark, how could I end up like this?”

“I won’t be like you.” Shen Dai wiped his wet eyes, “I’ll never be like you.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Dai slumped in the chair. He was unable to calm down for a while.

Because of Shen Qin’s previous experience, he has always rejected omega’s behaviour of wanting to bind alpha through a marking. He thinks that it is against human’s will and physical binding does not mean one can achieve happiness. But Shen Qin does not have this sobriety. Shen Qin felt that all the failures and misfortunes in his life stemmed from not getting an alpha’s mark.

Shen Qin is sad and hateful. But his judgement on the influence of ‘marking’ on people is not wrong – at least its’ influence on omega is huge.

Before he was marked, Shen Dai was docile and obedient due to Qu Moyu’s identity and genes. But he hid his self-esteem and arrogance in his bones. It should be the promise that comes naturally, otherwise it is like putting the cart before the horse. But after being marked, he developed a strong psychological dependence on his alpha. When he thought of Qu Moyu asking him to wash off the marking, he was overwhelmed with discomfort.

He calmed down for a while and then sent another WeChat message to You Baiyue: Give me Qu Chengchen’s number and you can “use” me at the right time in the future. This is why you insist on establishing contact with me.

He didn’t know how much You Baiyue had calculated this in his heart, but obviously he had a certain value in You Baiyue’s eyes.

Sure enough, after a while, You Baiyue called.

“It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, but it’s useless to do so.” You Baiyue’s voice was lazy and indifferent, “The two brothers are so busy that their feet are barely touching the ground now, so how can they bother with you?”

“He hurt me like this, I have to…”

“Stop, stop.” You Baiyue ‘tsk tsk’ twice, “If you haven’t seen the world, you should be more sober. You want to call Qu Chengchen, what do you want him to do for you? You are just a lost piece of chess for him. He won’t do anything for you. What can you do to him?”

Shen Dai’s chest heaved vigorously and his eyes were filled with resentment. But he was blocked by You Baiyue and had nothing to say. That’s right, what can he do to Qu Chengchen?

You Baiyue sighed: “You are wronged now and you want to prove your innocence. Let me tell you, your innocence is not important to them at all. Money is important. Stocks are important. Power is important. And you are not important. If Brother Yu knows that you didn’t do it, so what? Isn’t it your reason for those losses that made Brother Yu so devastated? “

Shen Dai wanted to argue, wanted to say that it couldn’t be counted like that, but he couldn’t speak when he opened his mouth. He resisted every word of You Baiyue, but he knew that they were most likely the truth.

“Hey, let me advise you and give you some sober tips.” You Baiyue rolled over, “I’ve seen many omegas of your type. Never been in love, idealistic, strong self-esteem… So called ‘I think I can pass those common marriage and love patterns and find my beloved alpha for a lifetime’.” He said this in a very contemptuous tone, “I told you a long time ago that S-class alphas have no feelings. Although I am right that the details of your relationship are not clear, I can fully guess the state of the two of you now. Brother Yu is very good to you. He is gentle and considerate today and he will give you something the next day. He would probably touch your head and give you a snack. But it’s not because the pet pleases the owner. What if the pet bites?”

Shen Dai’s complexion sank a little bit and he suddenly felt a chill down his back. But it is a warm spring day. It seemed like he had stepped back into the cold winter.

“In the end, you are still inexperienced. And you lack the understanding of the alpha species. So you are full of unrealistic fantasies. If I tell you this, you may not want to believe it. You have to step on the thunder to understand. When you touch the core interests of an alpha, how fast they changed their faces, you should have experienced it these days.”

You Baiyue spoke lightly, but it fell heavily on Shen Dai’s shoulders.

“It is due to my conscience that I advise you that if you get pregnant with a child, you will definitely give birth to the child. But after giving birth, listen to Brother Yu, just wash off the mark and don’t fight him. As long as you follow him and have a sweet mouth, you can still have hope to stay by his side. And even if you can’t stay by his side, at least you and your descendant will be able to reach the sky one step ahead in this life. This is already the best result so don’t expect anything else. “

Shen Dai spoke, his voice flat and quiet: “You Baiyue, we are different. Our backgrounds, perceptions, and advantages are all different. So our concepts and choices are also different. I don’t need to educate you and I don’t need your education. I have fantasies about feelings, but I have no fantasies about living such a life. We are just the opposite of each other. You think you can pin your life on others while I think I can pin my feelings on others. What’s the difference? Is it wrong? Even if my relationship collapses, my life will not fall apart. But on the other hand, how can you be so sure that you can rely on others to enjoy a lifetime of prosperity and wealth?”

This time, it was You Baiyue’s turn to be silent.

“We want very different things, so your ‘advice’ doesn’t make sense to me.”

You Baiyue smiled helplessly: “Indeed. But you will understand sooner or later.”

Shen Dai hung up the phone and stared blankly at the empty white wall.

When he refuted You Baiyue, he was full of confidence. But how could he not have doubts in his heart that his expectation of love is really just an unrealistic fantasy? And that was all just because the person he likes is an S-class alpha?
