Shen Dai couldn’t sleep through the night. Qu Moyu also opened his eyes until dawn. The two looked at the same sky and moon from different places. Their thoughts revolved around each other, giving birth to countless pains and disturbances. It was like flying insects breaking into the lampshade, rushing towards the light and losing a way out.

Early the next morning, Qu Moyu began to investigate You Xinghai’s actions. Qu Shen’s words of ‘rushing for time’ were not unreasonable. This is because You Xinghai was also rushing for time. After finding that the verbal threat was not strong enough, he would definitely make a move. He really has found out that You Xinghai and a creditor are applying to the court to seal up Shen Dai’s property.

Qu Moyu called You Xinghai and asked him to talk face-to-face, but You Xinghai was not in a hurry. Qu Moyu was too lazy to make excuses with him, so he made it clear that he wanted to talk about Shen Dai. If he didn’t meet him today, he would see him in court the next time.

You Xinghai hesitated for a moment and agreed to talk later at night.

At this time, Qu Moyu was about to arrive at the company. He asked Attorney Chen to transfer all the contracts signed by Shen Dai during the merger and planned how they are going to respond to him. You Xinghai dared to do this to Shen Dai. It must’ve meant that he was at the end of the road. And another thing is that he was sure that he would not ignore Shen Dai. Even if this matter could be dealt with in the end, he would inevitably bleed. If Qu Chengchen got the news, he wondered if that guy would take the opportunity again. He would come out to fish in muddy waters.

Things were going in an unpredictable direction. It made him feel irritable.

As soon as his car entered the underground parking lot of the company, he received a call from the nanny. She said that Shen Dai was packing his luggage and his heart plummeted. He directed Lao Wu to turn around immediately.

When he got to the apartment, he saw Shen Dai packing his things. The two large luggages that were spread out were mostly filled with Qiuqiu’s daily necessities. Meanwhile, Shen Dai’s own things were very little. It seemed that he had already prepared his own luggage from the beginning of living here so that he was good to leave at any time.

“What are you doing?” Qu Moyu hurried over and grabbed a small piece of clothing away from Shen Dai’s hand.

Shen Dai didn’t look at him. He turned to take another one.

Qu Moyu held his shoulders and pulled his body over. He said in a serious tone, “Ah Dai, look at me!”

Shen Dai finally raised his eyes to look at Qu Moyu. Those eyes were gloomy, as if it was raining endlessly. He was looking at him, but he didn’t seem to look at anything at all.

“Ah Dai, calm down. Qiuqiu is still by your side. No one will separate you from him. As long as we are together, it doesn’t matter who has his custody. Okay? Calm down and let’s have a good talk.”

Shen Dai pushed Qu Moyu away and said blankly, “No matter who has his custody, as long as Qiuqiu is under three years old and is still breastfeeding, no law or anyone can take him away from me.”

“No one will take him away…”

“You have nothing to threaten me with.” Shen Dai’s eyes gradually crawled bloodshot, “I will take him home and take him away from you with the surname Qu.” Losing Qiuqiu’s custody may have been a good thing instead. The guillotine was no longer hanging over his head and it finally fell down. His blood was all over the ground but he was no longer afraid. The same knife could not kill him twice. He plans to sell the house and do his filial piety to his grandmother during her last few days. On the day that his grandmother leaves, he will also take Qiuqiu somewhere far away.

Qu Moyu’s heart ached suddenly: “Did everything I do is to ‘threaten’ you? I tried to be nice to you and make up for the mistakes of the past. I really like you and want to give you everything I can give you. Did you only see everything as a ‘threat’?!”

“Everything you did was just because Qiuqiu is an S-class alpha.” Shen Dai let out a blood-soaked cry, “He is the S-class heir you wanted the most. Otherwise, how could you condescend to please an inferior omega like me?! You think I will believe in your acting?!”

“No!” Qu Moyu growled, “I didn’t do it for him. I admit that when I found out about his pheromone level, I was very happy. But I also thought that you would misunderstand me. So I never dared to tell you. From when I found you in Lancheng to when you returned to the capital, I had already made a fool of myself. I said and made a lot of mistakes. But can’t you see my persistence? If I just want an heir, I have countless ways to snatch him away from you. All I want is you. It was because of you that I want Qiuqiu.”

Shen Dai slowly shook his head: “You don’t want me. And you don’t want Qiuqiu. You even used pheromone suppression to force me to wash off the ‘mark’ and knock out the child. You knew what you wanted from the beginning to the end. You were putting it into practice soberly to take action. If Qiuqiu is not an S-class alpha, he and I are of no value to you.”

“Do you know what you are talking about?!” Qu Moyu’s handsome face was distorted with pain. After giving something he has never done before, he is still misunderstood by his beloved. It seems that no matter what he says or does, it all appears to be conspiracy and calculation for Shen Dai. Feeling as if he was going to drain his own internal organs, he trembled and defended himself. “I didn’t know Qiuqiu’s pheromone level until after you were in estrus that last time. Before that, didn’t you see that I have to be with you? If you don’t believe me, you can check the records of the hospital. You can check all the files. I can even let the vice president and testing personnel testify for me. And my mother can also testify for me. I am really not that calculative…”

Shen Dai’s eyes were empty and cold: “The hospital is full of your people. You have all the ‘proofs’ you want. It doesn’t matter. No matter why you came, no matter what you want, I don’t care. I just want you to stay away from me and my child. And to stay away from your Qu family.”

Qu Moyu’s complexion turned pale. The pain in his eyes was so much that it was about to burst out. He said hoarsely, “Ah Dai, you can’t speak to me like this. You can’t treat me like this.”

Shen Dai lowered his head and continued to pack his clothes.

Qu Moyu clenched his fists and walked towards Qiuqiu’s room: “You can’t take Qiuqiu. I’m his alpha father. He is very dependent on me now…”

Shen Dai raised his head suddenly and ran over in a few steps. He ruthlessly pushed him away and shouted sharply, “Don’t touch him!”

Qu Moyu staggered two steps back. He then froze in place, looking at Shen Dai in disbelief.

Shen Dai gasped for breath. His eyes were angry: “You are not allowed to touch my child. You are not allowed to touch me. You have no heart. You have no feelings. Don’t you think that I will forget any of the things you said or did to me. What I regret the most in my life is knowing you, Qu Moyu. I never want to see you again!”

Qu Moyu’s expression changed from extremely hurt to extremely angry. He was like a severely wounded beast, dragging his blood-drenched body neither going forward nor backward. He didn’t seem to believe that language could be such a sharp knife to cut him in the world. He couldn’t believe that someone could make him feel so painful. And he couldn’t believe that the first time he truly fell in love with someone, he would be misunderstood and rejected like this.

He thought that if he put down his face, let go of his dignity, let go of the principles he had held for half his life, and almost denied the way of living in the past, he could express his sincerity to Shen Dai. But in exchange, he was forced to deconstruct himself and felt the double pain of being repeatedly hurt by the loved one.

It seems that he can’t give him anything. He holds everything he thinks precious to Shen Dai and he shows Shen Dai his softest belly, but Shen Dai still hates him. He still refuses to forgive him and he doesn’t even believe in any of his explanations. Whenever he was happy to get closer to Shen Dai and Qiuqiu, Shen Dai was thinking about how to be farther away from him.

His heart was so painful that he almost fell unconscious from the pain. At this moment, he even had the urge to destroy everything. Since Shen Dai really became his weakness, it would be better if he broke his rib with his own hands.

Shen Dai was about to be overwhelmed by the heavy load from the sky. He looked at Qu Moyu’s twisted and twitching facial features and his heart was filled with joy. He felt the pain of Qu Moyu. Great. He now feels just as painful as I had felt. He is drowned in despair like me. He thought.

Shen Dai put Qiuqiu’s door behind him, pulled out a bit of energy from his barren body and said, “Get out.”

Qu Moyu stared at Shen Dai. His eyes turned bloodshot red. He whispered, “Where do you want to go?”

“Go home.”

“Home? That house?” Qu Moyu said slowly, “You can’t go back. There is something going on with that house.”

Shen Dai said blankly: “What do you mean?”

“My dad was so anxious to let you transfer custody because You Xinghai knew Qiuqiu’s pheromone level and threatened us for money. Do you know how You Xinghai knew? It was Shen Qin who told him. “

Shen Dai looked at Qu Moyu blankly. He didn’t speak for a long time. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand what this sentence meant. He understood it completely. His last escape route was blocked. But he couldn’t feel anger. In fact, he didn’t feel anything. His heart was covered with wounds. One more knife and also one less knife. There was not much difference.

“You Xinghai will transfer part of the debt to you through legal and financial means and the house under your name will soon be seized.”

Shen Dai asked: “Was it You Xinghai who did it? Or was it your Qu family who did it? Hmm?”

Qu Moyu clenched his fists: “In your heart, am I so despicable?”

“It’s exactly what you want, isn’t it?” Shen Dai turned and glanced at Qiuqiu’s door. His son was the source of power, “Then I will also move back and there will be at least a few years between seizure and execution. I can still live my life.”

“Do you think it’s just as simple as losing your house? Once you become a dishonest executor, all your deposits and your salary will be frozen. You will be restricted in consumption, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the publication of your papers will also be affected.”

Qu Moyu showed a sinister smile: “I wanted to tell you, to reassure you that we will definitely win against the lawsuit. I want you to give me time. I will protect you and solve all your troubles for you. But now I think you’re right. It is indeed ‘exactly what I want’.” He bared his teeth, showing the alpha’s canine teeth, which are usually not easy to expose, but the pair of beast eyes only looked embarrassed and stubborn, “If you leave me, it’s hard for you to live or even support yourself. I’m sorry, but where else are you going to go? I should deal with you in the usual way. What kind of sincerity, what kind of respect… You are an omega. I just bite through your glands, ‘mark’ you, and you will love me. You will listen to everything I say and you will stay by my side forever!”

Shen Dai quickly took a step back in panic while Qu Moyu took a step forward.

“I’ve had enough. If I can’t do anything to satisfy you, if I even take my heart out, you won’t even look at it. Why should I embarrass myself like this? I’m learning to love you but you’re thinking about leaving me.” Qu Moyu’s face is hideous. He is reluctant to the limit, “I tried my best to want our family to be together, but everyone wants us to be separated. Including you!”

Shen Dai looked at the madness on Qu Moyu’s face. He felt as if he was crazy too. Under such torture, there would be no people who could remain sane.

“So I’ll ‘mark’ you now.” Qu Moyu said fiercely, “I’ll force you into estrus now and ask you to beg me to ‘mark’ you. You will belong to me completely. You will like me like you did before. And you can’t leave me .” He never wanted to see that kind of expression on Shen Dai’s face ever again. When he heard such words, he would be stressed by extreme pain and frustration. He would lose his mind and do irreversible things. Maybe by ‘marking’ him is the only option left. And only by tying this person to his life can he be consummated.

There is no way for Shen Dai to retreat. So maybe he can be freed only by being a puppet attached to him.

At this moment, the door of the apartment was suddenly pushed open. Madam Qu rushed in panickedly while looking at the two of them in horror.

When Qu Moyu saw his mother, he seemed to regain his senses and he froze on the spot without saying a word.

“You…” Madam Qu took a deep breath and was helpless, “Can you have a good talk instead?”

Shen Dai supported his body, turned his head and walked to Qiuqiu’s room. He opened and closed the door. The living room was quiet again.

Qu Moyu sat paralyzed on the sofa, covering his face with his big hands, looking devastated.

“Did you explain it to him?” Madam Qu asked softly.

Qu Moyu nodded. And then he shook his head again: “It’s useless. He doesn’t believe me. He hates me. He just wants to leave me.”

Madam Qu lowered her head sadly: “I will persuade him. Now the most important thing is how to solve You Xinghai’s issue, not the conflict between you two.”

“It’s useless.” Qu Moyu murmured repeatedly, “It’s useless.”

“Moyu…”

“I want to ‘mark’ him.” Qu Moyu raised his head. His paranoid face shocked his mother, “What you said… What about being sincere? It is useless! Useless! As long as I ‘mark’ him, he will love me. He will be obedient. And only in this way will he not leave me.”

“You don’t do crazy things.” Madam Qu hurriedly said, “He will surrender to you because of your pheromone. But his heart won’t. That will only make him more miserable and hate you more.”

“I don’t care.” Qu Moyu gave a weird smile, “That way he will stay by my side.”

“…He will really remove his glands.” Madam Qu twisted her hands, her eyes filled with sadness. “He didn’t just say it.”

“No. He will listen to me. He will…”

“He will really do it!” Madam Qu growled, “You ‘marked’ him and forced him to wash it off. In order to save the child, he didn’t even use anaesthesia when washing off the ‘mark’!”
