Shen Dai quickly finished his meal in the bowl, went to carry Qiuqiu back, and carried him directly to the bathroom to take a shower.

Qiuqiu was always very excited when he was taking a bath. He was splashing the water in the little frog’s bathtub so much that Shen Dai’s white shirt got completely wet.

Halfway through the shower, the bathroom door was pushed open. Shen Dai thought it was a nanny, but when he turned around, he saw Qu Moyu came in with a dry baby bath towel in his hand.

“There’s a lot of water on the ground. So be careful not to slip.” Qu Moyu put the bath towel on the towel rack, “Where’s the mop?” 

“Behind the door.”

Qu Moyu took the mop and wiped the ground beside Shen Dai’s feet. At the same time, he found out that not only the floor tiles got wet, but also Shen Dai. When the thin summer white shirt was soaked in water, it stuck to the chest in pieces. The slightly undulating muscles and fair skin were looming underneath and there were also the small sized bumps on the chest. They were like a flesh-pink cherry which makes Qu Moyu want to swallow them in one bite.

Qu Moyu’s heart throbbed. At that moment, he could even recall the taste of the small meat balls when he was licking and biting it with his mouth. He also remembered the pleasure it brought him when Shen Dai shuddered beneath him and his asshole contracted around his dick.

He put the mop aside and walked behind Shen Dai. He said softly, “He is really a bully when he takes a shower. How can he be so energetic?”

“He likes to play with water.” Shen Dai rubbed Qiuqiu’s chest seriously and occasionally tickled him with his fingers, making him giggle.

Qu Moyu quietly supported the little frog bathtub with both hands from behind Shen Dai.

The human body temperature and alpha pheromone simultaneously bullied Shen Dai to straighten his body instinctively. Then, his back hit Qu Moyu’s chest. The collision between his shoulder blades to the thick and elastic chest muscles produced a subtle electric current. Shen Dai’s breath stagnated and his body immediately leaned forward again: “What are you doing?”

“Helping you.” Qu Moyu bent down slightly, pressing Shen Dai’s back on purpose and whispered in his ear, “To give Qiuqiu a bath.” He patted Qiuqiu’s belly and Qiuqiu kicked his legs happily.

Shen Dai couldn’t straighten his waist and couldn’t escape from being trapped by his body. Qu Moyu’s body was almost completely against his own. The breath of ebony wood surrounded him causing his scalp to be numb. He struggled: “Let me go. “

Qu Moyu wrapped one of his arms around Shen Dai’s waist: “Be careful, the ground is slippery.” He lowered his head and looked in through Shen Dai’s dangling neckline. He saw the fair skin texture and the attractive nipples. He only felt his throat dry. He has an itch. His lower abdomen began to throb.

Shen Dai’s body was about to fall into the bathtub. So he had no choice but to support the wall with his hands: “Qu Moyu!”

Qu Moyu grabbed Shen Dai’s hand against the wall and intertwined his five fingers between his fingers. At the same time, he placed a kiss on Shen Dai’s gland and whispered: “Ah Dai, I miss you so much.”

Shen Dai took a deep breath: “Let me go. This will knock Qiuqiu’s bathtub over. Okay?”

Qu Moyu opened his mouth and bit the pheromone sticker on the back of Shen Dai’s neck. He tore it off and inhaled the aroma of his omega to his heart’s content.

“Let me go!” Shen Dai said angrily.

Qu Moyu kissed the scar on the gland over and over. He whispered; “I’m sorry.” Every time he saw the scar, he regretted the fact that he had the heart to have done such vicious and stupid thing to force his omega to wash off the ‘mark’. And now he had to face his retribution. His omega didn’t want his ‘mark’ and he regretted it so much he felt like he could just kill himself.

Shen Dai froze.

Qu Moyu restrained the surging animal desire in his body and finally let go of Shen Dai’s hand.

Shen Dai immediately pushed Qu Moyu away. He gritted his teeth and said, “Get out.”

“Actually, I came today to tell you something.” Qu Moyu took the bath towel and handed it to Shen Dai, “You Baiyue wants me to help Chuanghai. We only talked about business in the office.”

“You don’t need to explain to me.” Shen Dai straightened his clothes and took the bath towel to wipe Qiuqiu’s body.

“I have to explain it. Because before… I’ve told you before that I liked him. But it’s not really like that. Compared with my feelings for you, that is worth nothing.”

Shen Dai wiped Qiuqiu over and over. He then wrapped him in the bath towel and held him in his arms to get out of the bathroom. Qu Moyu followed him all the way to the bedroom.

Shen Dai put Qiuqiu on the bed and started wiping him again for the second time. Qu Moyu took Qiuqiu’s clothes and continued talking, “We won’t have any personal contact in the future. Actually, we didn’t have any contact at all. I didn’t want to see him. That’s why he came to the company.”

Shen Dai grabbed Qiuqiu’s clothes from him and after a few seconds of silence, he said lightly, “His birthday is coming.”

Qu Moyu’s face changed. His eyes showed a bit of guilt.

Shen Dai can still remember Qu Moyu’s casual tone when he said he liked You Baiyue back then. But that was not what made him sad the most. What really made him sad was that Qu Moyu knew of his feelings for him that he tried so hard to hide since back then but still decided to embarrass him. He had to tie the very necktie that You Baiyue had given to him. It was a kind of teasing. In Qu Moyu’s eyes, he must have looked ridiculous at that moment.

Shen Dai dressed Qiuqiu up. He then turned on the hair dryer the moment Qu Moyu wanted to speak, keeping all of the other sounds out with the noise.

Qu Moyu stood silently by the side, watching Shen Dai blow Qiuqiu’s hair.

However, Qiuqiu didn’t have much hair so it dried quickly. Shen Dai finally turned to look at Qu Moyu: “It’s late. You should go back.”

Qu Moyu lowered his eyes and didn’t look at Shen Dai. He said in a low voice, “Would you like to go to my family’s home with me on Saturday? My mother said she misses Qiuqiu. And I want the family to have a meal together.”

Shen Dai immediately guessed that this was definitely not Madam Qu’s request, but Qu Shen’s. This is because Madam Qu could come anytime if she wanted to see Qiuqiu.

“Qiuqiu is going to be vaccinated. We’ll go to the hospital first on Saturday and after that, we can go back to your family’s house.” Qu Moyu looked up at Shen Dai cautiously, “Okay?”

Shen Dai knew that if he refused now, Qu Shen would ask Madam Qu to come over and make the same request. In the end, it would only embarrass Madam Qu. Thinking of this, he could only nod his head.

Qu Moyu breathed a sigh of relief: “Then, I’ll go back first.” He walked over towards Shen Dai. He bent over and kissed Qiuqiu’s face. As he got up, he stole a kiss on Shen Dai’s face. He said softly, “Good night, baby.”

Shen Dai was stunned. Qu Moyu had already left and he still sat down on the bed with no strength in his body. He suddenly felt that dealing with Qu Moyu was far more tiring than taking care of children.

***

After work on Friday, when Shen Dai was about to go to see his grandmother, he received a call from Cheng Ruoze. He said that he would go to the hospital with him.

As soon as Shen Dai walked out of the research institute, the two made an appointment to meet at the fountain in the square.

When they met, Shen Dai asked nervously, “Did the director tell you something important?”

His grandmother’s attending physician was found through Qu Moyu’s connection. He would tell Cheng Ruoze about anything important and of course also to Shen Qin. But Shen Qin was not very efficient in doing other things except asking for money in a timely manner. So it is likely that Cheng Ruoze knew about his grandmother’s current situation before he does.

Seeing his nervous expression, Cheng Ruoze quickly reassured him: “I did call the director just now. But don’t be afraid. Your grandma is fine. The situation is okay today.”

Shen Dai breathed a sigh of relief: “What’s the matter today then?”

“The director suggested we transfer her to a private hospital. This… Mr. Shen also hopes to transfer your grandma to the hospital where Mr. Qu is a shareholder.”

Shen Dai frowned and said, “Why is that?”

“The director’s meaning is that your grandma can only be treated conservatively for now. So it makes sense to stay there. The current hospital is not big and their medical resources have been very tight. And they must not be able to take good care of the elderly. It is better to let her stay in a place with a good environment. It is mainly to alleviate the pain.”

Cheng Ruoze said it euphemistically, but Shen Dai understood the meaning behind these words very well. His grandmother’s time is running out and letting her suffer as little as possible in the last days is the best ‘treatment’ plan.

Shen Dai said sadly: “Okay.”

“Shen Gong, don’t be too sad.” Cheng Ruoze didn’t know how to comfort him, “Let’s go through the formalities today and pick her up. Everything is ready over there. They will definitely be able to take good care of her.”

Shen Dai nodded: “Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Cheng.”

*** 

Since his grandmother was going to be transferred, Shen Qin was the happiest person. While packing things up, he chatted with the doctors, nurses, and Cheng Ruoze. Qu Moyu treats Shen Dai so well and takes care of their family. In that tone, he is praising his son-in-law and showing off that his son has found a rich alpha and gave birth to a small alpha.

Shen Dai couldn’t listen anymore and urged him to leave quickly.

It was past nine o’clock in the evening when his grandmother was successfully transferred to Qu Moyu’s hospital.

Shen Dai was so tired as he sat in the lounge drinking water. He was thinking about how skinny his grandmother had been. His heart felt jammed badly. Seeing a loved one dying, but he can’t do anything about it. This feeling is like a dull knife grinding the flesh. It hurts. But it will eventually become numb.

Cheng Ruoze came over and sat next to Shen Dai with a Coke: “Come on. Let’s clink our bottles to celebrate your grandma’s smooth transfer.”

Shen Dai smiled wryly and clinked the plastic bottle with him: “Assistant Cheng, you have been busy with my grandma’s thing, I’m really grateful to you for so many times.”

“Oh, don’t say thank you anymore. Mr. Qu has offered me a very high salary. I don’t have much work to do and I feel sorry for the money.”

“It’s late. You can go back first.”

“I’ll take a break and leave soon. And you, I’ll take you home along the way.”

“No, I’ll…” Shen Dai thought about the fact that he would come to the hospital again the next day. “I’m going to bring Qiuqiu for vaccination tomorrow. So I’ll have to go back today.”

“Qiuqiu can get the vaccination here.”

“Hmm, it’s the third dose for hepatitis B.”

“Qiuqiu had them in Lancheng before. Has the files been transferred? Do you need me to come with you tomorrow…?”

“No, no.” Shen Dai hurriedly said, “It’s just a vaccination. I have all his files with me and I can get the record tomorrow. I really don’t need you to do that much for me.”

“That’s fine.I can do anything for Shen Gong at any time.” Cheng Ruoze thought for a while, “I’ll go say talk to the staff. There should be someone to contact you tomorrow, so you don’t need to do the trivial matters yourself.” 

Shen Dai was about to ask “Will Mr. Qu also be there?” but Cheng Ruoze had already got up to do the work. It made Shen Dai admire his carefulness and thoughtfulness.
