Protagonists ：沈岱 (Shen Dai -MC), 瞿末予 (Qu Moyu -ML)

Qu Moyu knew that this matter could not be hidden from his parents, but Qu Shen got the news faster than he thought. They came to the apartment just after dawn.

As soon as they met, Qu Shen asked, “What happened? You Xinghai went to jail? You Baiyue called me all morning and said that he couldn’t reach you and that Shen Dai and Qiuqiu were missing. What did You Xinghai do?!”

Looking at the mess in the house, the two of them could imagine what kind of damage it had experienced. They were even more worried.

Qu Moyu said solemnly, “Shen Dai and Qiuqiu are in Qu Chengchen’s hands.”

“What?!” Qu Shen was stunned, “He dares?! Is he crazy?”

“Let the police find him quickly. “Liang Rui said anxiously.

“No. I’ll go see him alone in the afternoon.” Qu Moyu looked at the slowly turning pointer of the clock on the wall, wishing it would turn into a roulette wheel and go to the important time earlier.

“How dare Qu Chengchen?! He shouldn’t be an impulsive person. He… what’s the matter with him and You Xinghai?”

“You Xinghai forged Shen Dai’s signature to make him pay the debt and he paid You Xinghai back with another kind of debt. He wanted to use abduction and extortion to send You Xinghai to jail.” Qu Moyu’s eyes flashed a wicked look, “You Xinghai wanted to find Qu Chengchen to deal with me, but Qu Chengchen secretly took Shen Dai away. He wanted to put all the blame on You Xinghai.”

Qu Shen said angrily: “Shen Dai is simply being smart. I made it clear that day that the Qu family will always support him. He simply…”

“It’s because of you. You’re the one forcing him!” Qu Moyu roared and there were green veins appearing on his forehead.

Qu Shen was stunned.

“Forcing him to surrender custody. In his opinion, that is robbing his child.” Liang Rui said coldly, “You can simply do nothing about it.”

Qu Shen said angrily, “You… you both. What nonsense are you talking about?”

“From now on, the matter of Shen Dai and Qiuqiu is a matter of my own family of three. And you can no longer interfere.” Qu Moyu’s voice was extremely cold.

“Aren’t we a family?” Qu Shen gritted his teeth, “What’s more… it’s not just your business now. Qu Chengchen is determined to separate the chemical industry and establish his own business. For so many years. From our generation to yours… Now he holds your heir in his hand and it affects the fate of the entire group. Can an omega be worth it for all of that!”

“Shen Dai is not just an omega. He is my wife and the Qu family’s infighting should not be his responsibility. He was innocently involved.” Qu Moyu lowered his head, “With or without Shen Dai, Qu Chengchen will use all means. If he had failed once, twice, or three times. There will always be a fourth time. If I were him, I wouldn’t give up. Maybe it’s time to finally end it.”

“What do you want to do?”

Qu Moyu stood up: “I’ll go see him.”

“Qu Moyu!” Qu Shen snapped, “You are not qualified to agree to any conditions on behalf of the company’s decision-makers. You must first discuss this with me.”

Qu Moyu glanced at his father: “This was the discussion.” After he finished speaking, he strode out the door.

***

Shen Dai was lying beside Qiuqiu. He couldn’t sleep soundly. He was half asleep all night and the child beside him would wake up immediately if there was even a little movement.

This reminded him of the time when Qiuqiu was just born. When he was breastfeeding upside down day and night, almost no period of sleep was more than four hours. He collapsed several times because of exhaustion. Originally, he didn’t gain much weight when he was pregnant. But he quickly became thinner after giving birth. He has survived such difficult and painful days and now he can do it too.

In this state until dawn, there were suddenly voices and footsteps in the living room. Shen Dai immediately woke up. He sat up, rubbed his face twice, and opened the door.

He thought that the person guarding him had bought something and returned. But in front of him stood the well-dressed Qu Chengchen.

When Qu Chengchen saw Shen Dai, his eyes narrowed slightly. He said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, hello.”

Disgust and fear both appeared on Shen Dai’s face.

“Is my little nephew sleeping?” Qu Chengchen tilted his head to look behind Shen Dai, “I haven’t seen him yet.”

Shen Dai grabbed the door handle with one hand and the door frame with the other, using his body as a barrier.

“Don’t be nervous. What will I do to a baby?” Qu Chengchen shrugged, “I’m a businessman. Not a bandit.”

Shen Dai glared at Qu Chengchen coldly.

Qu Chengchen walked over a few steps and stood in front of Shen Dai: “I just want to look at him. He is my nephew after all.”

After Shen Dai was silent for a few seconds, he put down his hand and took a half step back.

Qu Chengchen entered the room and closed the door.

The sound of the door closing made Shen Dai’s heart beat faster again.

Qu Chengchen walked to the bed and leaned over to look at Qiuqiu, who was sleeping soundly. The corners of his mouth curled into an arc: “He’s so cute. I heard that he looks very much like my elder brother when he was a child.”

Qiuqiu felt a strange and powerful alpha’s pheromone. He frowned in his sleep and twisted his body uncomfortably. But he didn’t wake up.

Qu Chengchen stretched out his hand to touch Qiuqiu, but was stopped by Shen Dai: “Don’t touch him.”

Qu Chengchen smiled. He straightened up and stared at Shen Dai. His eyes looked a little vague and flirty: “You know what. You are the most special omega I have ever met. You always do things that amaze me and you can still give birth to an S-class alpha.”

Shen Dai restrained the thought of retreating and just nailed his legs to his original position on the ground. He wanted his child to stay within a safe range. Although the alpha in front of him always showed a smile, he was also always sending out dangerous signals. He couldn’t help but feel fear.

“I schemed for him to ‘mark’ you because your pheromone level is low and most of the children born would be ordinary people.” Qu Chengchen laughed softly, “But, I’m afraid no one can imagine that you can actually give Qu Moyu a gift. A perfect heir for him.” The emphasised words at the end of the sentence clearly revealed a sense of ruthlessness.

Shen Dai said coldly: “Childbirth is inherently highly random. You are so keen on selective breeding. How many times have you succeeded?”

Qu Chengchen laughed twice: “‘Selective breeding’, well said.”

“What do you want to do? Have you negotiated with Qu Moyu? When can you let us go?”

“We’ll meet up later.” Qu Chengchen took out a piece of paper from his pocket and shook it in front of Shen Dai, “It’s fine for you to use your little trick to fool the fools outside. But fortunately, I found it. I have to move you to another place now.”

Shen Dai took a closer look at the printed shopping list and he spoke with hatred: “What do you have to be proud of? You kidnapped a half-year-old baby. Fair competition could not be counted for these rude tactics.”

“‘Fair competition’?” Qu Chengchen’s face sank. His sharp eagle eyes slowly congested. He approached Shen Dai step by step, “What is ‘fair’? I’m not worse than Qu Moyu. Just because I was born a few months late, he won all the grades a year earlier than me. And he got all the opportunities a year earlier than me. Because he is a few months older than me. Just because he is the eldest grandson, he takes everything I want. Without him, my eldest sister would not be in so much pain that she exiled herself. You tell me what is ‘fairness’!”

Qu Chengchen’s alpha pheromone was faintly restless. Shen Dai’s face turned pale with fright. Every nerve was tensed due to the oppression being sensed in advance.

Qu Chengchen pressed Shen Dai’s shoulder against the wall. He looked down at Shen Dai condescendingly, but a wicked and twisted smile appeared on his handsome face: “Do you think you can understand? You also gave birth to an S-class alpha. How innocent he looks now. But his life is destined to be like a lonely beast, fighting to the death. This is our sad nature.”

Shen Dai’s body trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to escape from Qu Chengchen’s control. He shrank his shoulders and imagined that he had shrunk his body countless times, but he had nowhere to escape.

Qu Chengchen slowly lowered his head and raised Shen Dai’s chin with one hand. His eyes wandered back and forth on the fair and handsome face: “For more than 20 years, I thought that Qu Moyu was flawless, rigorous, ruthless, and selfish. He was trained very well and as a result, he actually got his way and made a mistake that S-class alphas resist the most – surrendering to an omega. I didn’t expect you to be so useful. And I didn’t expect him to care so much about you.”

Shen Dai said hoarsely: “He doesn’t care. We have already divorced. I have washed off the ‘mark’. He…”

“How much he cares about you depends on what he is willing to give up for you.” Qu Chengchen rubbed Shen Dai’s jaw with the pulp of his thumb, “Xiao Yue said an interesting theory. He said that the real top predators are people who can tame S-class alphas. I only thought it was funny when I heard it. Now that I think about it…” He bent over again. His thin lips pressed against Shen Dai’s ear, “Qu Moyu is a city armed with copper and iron walls. He is too powerful. I have tried countless times since I was a child and it is extremely difficult to break through. But now I have thought of a way to defeat him easily. Do you want to know how?”

Shen Dai was pressed against Qu Chengchen’s chest. He was shrouded under that tall body that his body was weakened by fear. He said weakly: “You let me go…”

“I think… if I ‘mark’ you, he would… How to say?” Qu Chengchen seemed to be surprised by his own thoughts and couldn’t help laughing softly, “He would go crazy.”

Shen Dai wished he could bite off Qu Chengchen’s throat in front of him – if only he has canine teeth as sharp as an alpha!

Qu Chengchen suddenly tore off Shen Dai’s pheromone sticker. He twisted Shen Dai’s neck, pressed the tip of his nose against the scented gland and said frivolously, “Actually, this is the first time I really smell your pheromone. It smells good.”

At this moment, Qiuqiu burst into tears.

The cry was sharp and loud, creating a huge noise in the enclosed bedroom.

Qu Chengchen frowned impatiently. Shen Dai regained some of his body strength, pushed Qu Chengchen away and ran towards Qiuqiu.

Qu Chengchen looked at Shen Dai and Qiuqiu calmly. With an indescribable smile, he turned and left the room.
