​​The childcare nannies hired by Qu Moyu were very experienced at first glance. They quickly understood Qiuqiu’s character and the main points of daily nursing and quickly gained his trust.

However, the baby rejected the pheromone of the alpha father, but used a substitute pheromone. It was a situation they had never seen before and it was a lot of trouble. Seeing the boss beside them with a dark face, he asked if they could help Qiuqiu get used to his pheromones as soon as possible. They didn’t dare to ask the reason in detail and they had no similar experience. So they could only say perfunctorily that the child needed a period of transition.

“Transition? How long is the transition?” When Qu Moyu thought that Bai Xiangwan’s pheromone smell would appear in his home, on his wife and child, he didn’t want to bear it for another minute. But he couldn’t force Qiuqiu to quit. Even if he has never raised a child, he knows how necessary parental pheromones are for infants and young children.

This must be the most fucking useless thing he’s ever encountered in his life!

“It’s hard to say, Mr. Qu.” The parenting sister-in-law smiled awkwardly. “You first let him accept you step by step. After all, you are his biological father. I believe that more interaction will awaken his genetic memory.”

Shen Dai didn’t say a word. But he thought about how to make Qiuqiu not adapt to Qu Moyu’s pheromone. It can be seen from Qiuqiu’s fever that the power of genes is too powerful. As the parenting sister-in-law said, as long as they get along for a long time, Qiuqiu will ‘recognize’ his real alpha father sooner or later. If one day Qiuqiu starts to rely on Qu Mo Yu’s pheromone, how could he take Qiuqiu away?

Qu Moyu said reluctantly: “Okay. You can get back to work.”

“Okay.” The two left the study. They were going to organise their personal belongings for when they stayed there later.

Shen Dai was also leaving.

“Ah Dai.” Qu Moyu stood up and grabbed Shen Dai’s wrist, “Qiuqiu is sleeping. Please accompany me.”

Shen Dai couldn’t pull his hand back, so he could only let himself be pulled.

Qu Moyu hugged Shen Dai’s waist from behind, rubbed his delicate cheeks with his nose, and sniffed Shen Dai’s glands close at hand: “You don’t have to work so hard to take care of Qiuqiu in the future. And you don’t have to wake up at night. They will take good care of the child and you can do what you want.”

Shen Dai was silent.

Qu Moyu kissed Shen Dai’s neck, feeling that the body of the person in his arms was only a thin piece and he felt very uncomfortable: “You have lost a lot of weight. You must have suffered a lot this year. I will make good compensation for you. Okay? You need to take care of your body first. After a while, when you have recovered, you can go back to work in the research institute. If you want to continue working with Professor Liu, or do your own research, I will support you.”

Hearing the research institute, Shen Dai’s expression moved and his heart tightened.

He remembered that ten years ago, when he had just stepped into his profession, he heard the famous name of Xingzhou Group. There are several institutions in each industry, which are the yearning for everyone’s career. Being able to be selected into Xingzhou’s talent plan and working in the Rare Earth Research Institute means high salary, reputation, stability, and a broad space for development. Even if there was a sudden change at home, when he had to work extra to support his family, he did not give up his internship, which only paid him about 1,500 yuan a month. During those days, he was full of exhaustion and anxiety. In the end, he survived and successfully stayed in the institute. He still remembers the day he got the hard-won offer, he hid in the toilet and cried happily.

He thought he would always do this satisfying job, follow his mentor, build a decent life while pursuing academic ideals. This job is too important to him, but there are more important people in his life. He had to give them up. There is not a day when he doesn’t want to still work in the research institute but now he does not dare and does not want to go back.

He didn’t know how to go back calmly.

There are mixed rumours flying all over the sky. Everyone will know that he is Qu Moyu’s mistress and he gave birth to Qu Moyu’s child by means they could only guess with. With this background, he can come and go freely at will. He can even be on an equal footing with his former mentor and start his own subject, even if he is not qualified at all.

He can already imagine how others will view him, talk about him, despise and envy him, look down on him and try to flatter him. The saddest thing is that most of those rumours are true.

He has always longed to be ignored by gender and prove his strength through personal struggles, achievements, fame, awards, and even change the world and make a name for himself. What can be done or what can’t be done, will eventually be attributed to ‘because he is Qu Moyu’s mistress’.

When Qu Moyu saw Shen Dai’s reaction, he thought he had found something that could impress Shen Dai. So he said, “Do you have any topics you want to do? I remember your new SCI article is about a kind of new training idea. Do you want to do in-depth research on this? I’ll assign you a driver and then I’ll give you an office with a lunch break. In the future, you can…”

Shen Dai whispered, “No need.” He pushed Qu Moyu away.

Qu Moyu looked at the indifferent Shen Dai, unable to hide his disappointment: “What’s the matter? Don’t you want to go back to the institute?”

“It’s not suitable.” Shen Dai lowered his head, “Can I go now?”

Shen Dai’s attitude often made Qu Moyu uncomfortable. He said solemnly, “No.”

“…”

“This will also be your room in the future. You will sleep with me.”

Shen Dai suddenly raised his head and stared at Qu Moyu: “I want to share a room with Qiuqiu.”

“Qiuqiu has two nannies to take care of him in shifts. He won’t disturb your sleep time in the future. That room will be turned into his baby room.” Qu Moyu took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Shen Dai’s waist again, preventing him from staying away from himself, “You will have enough time with our child. But you will also accompany me.” He slowly leaned down.

Shen Dai pressed against Qu Moyu’s chest, only to feel that his hands were starting to heat. He couldn’t stop Qu Moyu from lowering his head and kissing his lip and at the same time releasing a trapping pheromone to him. Shen Dai could only struggle a little and then softened his legs under the invasion of the powerful alpha pheromone.

Qu Moyu sucked on Shen Dai’s lips gently. He then licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, pushed open his teeth, and drove straight in to hook the dodging tongue. At first, Qu Moyu kissed with restraint and tenderness. But the more he kissed, the deeper and rougher he became. He picked up Shen Dai and put him on the desk, fixed the slender back of his neck, and poured his strong thoughts and turbulent desires into this kiss.

The kiss was so deep and long that Shen Dai was almost breathless. In his trance, the pheromone sticker on the back of his neck was torn off. Qu Moyu massaged the glands with his warm palm and used his alpha pheromone to induce him to release the Epiphyllum fragrance.

Shen Dai’s glands have become less sensitive since the surgery to wash the ‘mark’ and because of his pregnancy, he has not been in heat for more than a year. Sometimes, he forgets his second gender. When Qu Moyu tries to wake up the erotic function of the glands, his memory flashed back to when he was tied to the operating table like a fish and the sharp and cold scalpel cut open his flesh without anesthesia… His whole body trembled violently and he pushed Qu Moyu away.

Qu Moyu was immersed in emotion and was pushed off unpreparedly. He staggered to stabilise his body.

Shen Dai’s chest was heaving up and down. His moist eyes looked at Qu Moyu in alarm and horror. He even covered the back of his neck with his hands.

Qu Moyu supported the table with his arms, trapping Shen Dai with the outline of his body. He looked down on Shen Dai, feeling extremely uncomfortable and said softly, “Ah Dai, don’t be afraid.”

Shen Dai took a deep breath and whispered, “I want to go see Qiuqiu.”

“Qiuqiu is sleeping.”

“He……”

“Ah Dai.” Qu Moyu increased his tone, “You will have to face me sooner or later.”

Shen Dai froze. He slowly raised his head and looked directly into Qu Moyu’s eyes. He said slowly, “What’s your requirements?”

“What?”

“When we agreed to get married, you asked for my requirements. And now you use Qiuqiu’s custody to coerce me. So I also want to know your requirements.” Shen Dai’s eyes gradually became a clear red bloodshot, “You want me to accompany you. You want me to sleep with you. You might also want me to accompany you through the susceptible period. So give me a time limit.”

“…What do you mean by ‘time limit’?”

“The marriage at that time also had a time limit. It should be no more than five years.” Shen Dai’s lips trembled slightly, “Mr. Qu, how long will it take for you to let me go?”

Qu Moyu had to bend down temporarily to relieve the sudden pain in his chest. He gritted his teeth: “Shen Dai, did I not say it clearly enough? Or did I not act resolutely enough? What is a ‘time limit’? We already have a child together. We are a family. I said I will take care of you all my life.”

“We will never be a ‘family’.” Shen Dai said with tears, “You will have your own family. You will have your own children. You can have many children, far better children than Qiuqiu. But I only have Qiuqiu… …you still have to rob him from me.”

“I didn’t want to rob him from you.” Qu Moyu held Shen Dai’s face and said sternly, “I just want you to stay by my side. I know I wasn’t good enough for you before. I misunderstood you and forced you to wash off the ‘mark’. I know you have had a hard time this year.” Every word he said was stumbling and difficult, because he had never admitted his fault to anyone or accepted it softly. But compared to Shen Dai’s experience of suffering, the hardships he can think of and dare not think of, what are these few words? “Ah Dai, I feel guilty towards you. And I really like you. Only if you stay, I will compensate you. I will prove that I can make you live well.”

Shen Dai looked at the S-class alpha that he once loved, who was always like an arrogant lion. At this time, he bowed his head and said soft words that were incompatible with who he really was. He just felt flustered and wondered if this was another one of his facade. He had suffered enough. He was afraid. He shook his head: “We are not of the same world. I approached you beyond my own power. I have made mistakes and I have paid for them.”

“What is the difference between your world and my world? We clearly agree with each other. We…”

“I’m just a low class omega.”

Qu Moyu said anxiously, “I just said that in the spur of the moment because I was angry!”

“I remember every word you said. And every word has a purpose. It’s not what you said in the spur of the moment because you were angry. It’s your truth.” Shen Dai said softly, “Qu Moyu, give me a time limit.”

Qu Moyu slammed his fist on the solid wood table and said in a hoarse voice, “You will always be mine.”​​​​
