Shen Dai sits not far from Qu Moyu, quietly watching the person he once loved, who once filled his heart with a halo, making him radiant and warm in the darkest moments. Sometimes he couldn’t understand why the person who saved him pushed him off the cliff with his own hands.
Now the answer doesn’t matter anymore. This time, he got up on his own without needing anyone’s hands.
Shen Dai said calmly, “What is there for me to explain?”
Qu Moyu was slightly startled. He had a lot of things to say, but he didn’t know which one to say first. When he calmed down from his anger, he began to suspect this kind of unreasonableness, so he easily found the child’s birth file. The 36-weeks premature birth could only mean that it’s his.
The ecstasy of that moment far outweighed the hidden dangers of an illegitimate child.
However, the room was filled with Bai Xiangwan’s pheromones. That is real. The child is his. It does not mean that Shen Dai has not betrayed him and reason also forced him to start to be vigilant about the purpose of Shen Dai’s actions.
The secret that Shen Dai wanted to hide the most was revealed. It was like a jar had fallen and broke. The child was born. What could Qu Moyu do to them?
Qu Moyu narrowed his eyes: “You have breached the contract.”
“I’m Shen Yue’s guardian. I don’t agree to do a paternity test. Even if you force it on me, it will have no legal effect.” Shen Dai’s eyes were heavy, but he was firm, “My child has nothing to do with you.”
Qu Moyu said coldly, “Which one are you playing at? I don’t know how you kept this child. You’ve worked so hard, tell me, what is it that you want?”
“I don’t want anything. I want nothing.”
“I’ve seen a lot of tricks like this before.” Qu Moyu sneered, “People don’t seek small profits. But they must have a greater plan. You think clearly. An illegitimate child can bring you a limited amount of profits. I’m willing to compensate you now like this. You just take it.”
Shen Dai also smiled. He was not surprised by Qu Moyu’s speech at all. When he smashed the halo around Qu Moyu with his own flesh and blood, what he saw was an emotionless power machine. In the world of S-class alpha, all kinds of things in the world are only for profit. It was as if a person who does something, there is always a hidden motive for profit. That is what can be understood by Qu Moyu.
How can such a pitiful person exist?
Shen Dai looked at Qu Moyu indifferently: “I don’t want anything. This child will never have anything to do with you. He won’t need you to give him a penny. You have a legal department. You can afford the best lawyer, you should know. He can’t threaten you and your future legitimate children. So you have nothing to worry about.”
Qu Moyu’s pupils tightened. He stared at Shen Dai’s expressions, trying to read out some emotions that could help him analyse. But he couldn’t see any hidden trace of anything. Every word Shen Dai said was firm.
He didn’t believe that this omega gave birth to his child but would want nothing. He waited for Shen Dai to ask him for a long series of numbers. He would agree, as compensation for washing off the ‘mark’ and giving birth to the child. And then, he can take the child back with him and he will take care of them for the rest of their lives. Even if Shen Dai had already followed other alphas and let his son get pheromones from other alphas, he would definitely grab them back.
Shen Dai looked at the time: “Mr. Qu, it’s very late, you…”
“Shen Dai.” Qu Moyu increased his tone, “Don’t play coy with me.”
Shen Dai shook his head: “How can you be rest-assured? I can sign a non-disclosure agreement with you. If I go back and cause damage to your reputation or property, you can write as much compensation as you want.”
Qu Moyu stared blankly at Shen Dai. He couldn’t believe nor accept that Shen Dai really didn’t ask him for anything and that he didn’t need anything from him. For an omega to risk giving birth to his child like this, the money and the name must always be the motive. Otherwise, what will it be?
Could it be that it was because of Bai Xiangwan?
Qu Moyu was driven by jealousy, and he gritted his teeth as he said, “Is it because of Bai Xiangwan? You want to stay here just for him? How could he be willing to be with an omega who has been divorced and washed off a ‘mark’? Or does he simply just like to raise the sons of others?”
Shen Dai’s lips trembled. In the face of Qu Moyu’s repeated humiliation, he had no resistance at all. He could only use indifference as the last weapon. He whispered, “It has nothing to do with you. Get out.”
“My son is sleeping in that room. You are my omega. It has nothing to do with me?”
“I’m not your omega!” Shen Dai roared, “Qiuqiu is just my son. We will never have anything to do with you again in this life!”
Qu Moyu’s complexion changed over and over, His heart felt like it was filled with smoke and the suffocation of his ventricle made him extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Dai stood up and said in a trembling voice: “You are right. Bai Xiangwan will not want an omega who has been divorced and washed off a ‘mark’. We are not in that kind of relationship. You don’t have to deliberately embarrass him. Now you should go. “
“The room is full of his pheromones, including your bedroom, including my son. Do you think I’ll believe it?”
“Whether you believe it or not, get out.”
Qu Moyu stresses his words as he said, “Shen Dai, don’t regret it.”
Shen Dai walked over and opened the door. He looked at Qu Moyu with only resentment and hostility in his eyes.
Qu Moyu couldn’t find a reason not to leave because of his crushed self-esteem. He had never been treated like this before. Even though he repeatedly lowered the bottom line for this person and even made promises to him, how could this person be so ignorant? How could this person dare to do this to him?!
Qu Moyu strode to the door. But when he passed by Shen Dai, he smelled the long-lost fragrance of flowers and his body could no longer move.
That day, he visited to confirm whether Shen Dai was marked or not, but he couldn’t smell the pheromones that kept him up at night. During this year, he had suppressed the longing for the short-lived fragrance. Every time he thinks of the seductive fragrance that turned from light to thick during the estrus period, a little bit of his memories of making love with Shen Dai emerges in my mind.
He thought that this emotion would pass. That it was just a physiological desire transformed into a courtship impulse. He did not allow himself to indulge in low-level needs.
However, after a year, he couldn’t make it through.
Qu Moyu grabbed the door handle and closed it with a bang. Before Shen Dai could react, he was already pressed against the wall by Qu Moyu. The rude kiss fell on him and he was blocked in between the door and the man. Qu Moyu kissed Shen Dai’s lips rudely, grinding and sucking hard.
At the moment when he finally tasted it again, Qu Moyu realised that he missed the taste more than he thought. And all the impulses erupted in his pants.
“Don’t…” Shen Dai couldn’t even utter a complete cry for help. He was kissed by Qu Moyu so breathlessly that his hypoxic brain was spinning around in a daze. And when he recovered, he was already overpowered on the sofa.
Qu Moyu’s big hand felt the smooth texture of Shen Dai’s sin inch by inch, excited by the familiar touch, and he was shaken by the apparent weight loss.
“Let go of me!” Shen Dai’s face turned red and also pale. His eyes were full of fear and shame. Why did Qu Moyu treat him like this? Why did he hurt him again and again?!
Qu Moyu’s legs pushed against Shen Dai’s knees, forcing him to spread his legs for himself. His mind was dazed by jealousy and could only shout at random: “You said you like me. But you turned your head while carrying my child. If you become lovers with other alphas, will one day my son call him Dad?!”
“Qu Moyu!” Shen Dai cried, “You bastard! I don’t like you. I hate you!”
Qu Moyu’s eyes were red. The manic alpha pheromone in his body was about to be overwhelmed. He just wanted to swallow the life under him. There was a voice in his mind screaming for him to invade, attack, conquer, and completely possess this person. Only his prey can soothe his uneasiness. He stripped off Shen Dai’s clothes and forced the omega, who made him feel unspeakable pain, to sacrifice himself to him.
That was until Qu Moyu saw the scar on Shen Dai’s abdomen – the scar left by caesarean section.
Shen Dai’s lower abdomen used to be like a thin and flawless white wall. He has a thin waist that he could wrap around with only one arm. Three months after giving birth, it has not fully recovered its elasticity and the pale pink scar is slightly undulating. It looks even more dazzling.
Qu Moyu’s heart was hit hard and he stopped all movements.
Shen Dai curled up his naked body, hugged himself tightly, trembling violently, wishing he could just disappear.
Looking at Shen Dai like this, Qu Moyu suddenly didn’t know what he had done. He stiffly took off his suit jacket and carefully covered it on Shen Dai’s body.
At this moment, the baby’s cry broke through the barrier created by the two of them. The sound entered the eardrum and pulled Shen Dai back to reality from the cave of his self-protection.
Shen Dai, wrapped in Qu Moyu’s clothes, got up tremblingly. He stumbled into the bedroom.
He didn’t know when Qiuqiu started crying. His face was flushed red. Shen Dai’s hands and feet were still shaking.
Qu Moyu walked in. Shen Dai’s body looked thinner under his suit and the trembling back made his heart tighten. Just as he was about to say something, Qiuqiu’s cry suddenly rose and became sharper.
Shen Dai turned his head. His pupils darkened: “Get out. He’s afraid of you.”
The hatred in Shen Dai’s eyes and the tears on his face made Qu Moyu’s spine go cold. Any difficulty he encountered in his life, the excitement of the challenge will always outweigh the anxiety. Only this time it was different. He did not dare to face Shen Dai. With Shen Dai’s accusing eyes, he felt at a loss.
In the end, he could only flee.

*Translator’s Note: It was so satisfying to read this chapter. Mr. Cuttlefish, Sundae is not your omega. Did you forget that you have divorced him and forced him to wash off the ‘mark’? Is there something wrong with your head?? -K
