During the candlelit dinner, Xia Cheng Lang ate in a daze. After the dinner was over, he put down his knife and looked up at Tang Liu Yuan’s face, which looked a little soft in the candlelight, and said nervously: “Although my kissing skills are poor now, I can improve on it, why don’t you accompany me to practise?”

Tang Liu Yuan wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked up at him.

Xia Cheng Lang coughed as he looked at him and said pitifully, “Practice is the only way to improve, just like how you used to make me do exercise books.”

Tang Liu Yuan smiled, and seeing how disappointed he was from the blow, he agreed: “Okay.”

Xia Cheng Lang was pleasantly surprised, and his face, which had been sad all night, suddenly lit up, “Really?”

“En.” Tang Liu Yuan replied casually, taking the flower on the table in his hands and fiddling it.

Hearing the reply, Xia Cheng Lang eagerly looked at him, his eyes falling on his sweet red lips, “Why don’t……we try it now?”

Tang Liu Yuan looked up at him, “Once a day at most, you don’t have a chance today anymore.”

“Oh……” Xia Cheng Lang narrowed his brows in disappointment, but couldn’t help the corners of his mouth slowly rising in anticipation of tomorrow.

Their first candlelit dinner ended with a steady stream of giggles from Xia Cheng Lang.

……

The standoff between the Xia family and His Majesty, Sheng Cen and Sheng Lian gradually entered a white-hot phase, and Xia Cheng Lang was so busy every day that Tang Liu Yuan’s kisses were like candy after his daily dose of bitter medicine, filling him with anticipation every day when he was busy.

Although their relationship had not progressed much and was only at the kissing stage, he was extremely content and motivated every day.

This day, Tang Liu Yuan went to the research institute and worked from morning until evening. Xia Cheng Lang went to pick him up from work and bought a few supplements on the way, ready to drop by and visit his tutor.

A few days ago, Zhu Xue had told him that Tang Liu Yuan’s tutor had always wanted to matchmake Tang Liu Yuan and Sun Yu Ming. He couldn’t help but feel the sour taste in his heart after hearing that, so he decided to visit Tang Liu Yuan’s tutor, and let the elderly stop pairing the wrong mandarin ducks1mandarin ducks refers to a couple..

When Xia Cheng Lang arrived at the research institute, the atmosphere was cheerful and full of jubilation, as if something was being celebrated, and everyone’s expressions looked very excited.

He found the laboratory that Tang Liu Yuan had told him about. Through the glass on the back door window, he could see Tang Liu Yuan at a glance. Tang Liu Yuan was sitting in front of the experimental machine, staring at the microscope and looking down seriously.

Perhaps for the convenience of doing experiments, Tang Liu Yuan had tied his long black hair at the back of his head and fixed it with a rubber band, revealing his clean forehead, and his neck looked extraordinarily long from a distance. His side profile is extremely beautiful, because his face is very small, the outline is more distinct, there is an indescribable coldness in his beauty, and his serious look makes one’s heart move.

Not sure what the people around Tang Liu Yuan had said to him, and everyone had smiles on their faces. Tang Liu Yuan looked up from his microscope and curled his lips in a light manner. Although he didn’t smile as impudently as the others around him, Xia Cheng Lang could tell that he should be in a good mood right now, and he looked relaxed, as if he had put down some important task.

Xia Cheng Lang reached out and touched his chest, feeling that he could never get enough of looking at Tang Liu Yuan like this for the rest of his life, so he couldn’t help but smile, knocked on the door and walked in.

When Tang Liu Yuan saw him, the curve of his mouth widened and he stood up to introduce him to everyone.

It was the first time Tang Liu Yuan had introduced a friend to anyone at the Institute, and everyone was surprised, even Tang Liu Yuan’s tutor couldn’t help but look at Xia Cheng Lang in amazement, with a judgemental look in his eyes.

Tang Liu Yuan looked at Xia Cheng Lang, smiled and introduced: “This is my tutor, Teacher Wang.”

Xia Cheng Lang took out the gift and handed it to Teacher Wang with both hands, extending his hand and saying: “Hello, Teacher Wang, I am Xia Cheng Lang.”

Teacher Wang was a little surprised to see the gift, he shook Xia Cheng Lang’s hand back and smiled: “Hello, you are Liu Yuan’s……”

Teacher Wang looked between them twice, his tone a little hesitant but more expectant, he had long hoped that Tang Liu Yuan would find a partner soon and not just think about work every day.

Xia Cheng Lang reached out to take Tang Liu Yuan’s hand and said aloud: “I’m Liu Yuan’s future boyfriend.”

“Oh?” Teacher Wang looked at Tang Liu Yuan in surprise, amused by his self-introduction, and the others laughed as well.

Tang Liu Yuan gave Xia Cheng Lang a helpless look and gave a gentle nod to Teacher Wang.

“That’s great.” Teacher Wang couldn’t help but smile and looked at Xia Cheng Lang with relief, he knew that Tang Liu Yuan was not a casual person, and since Tang Liu Yuan had admitted it himself, then he should have already decided on Xia Cheng Lang.

He used to worry that Tang Liu Yuan was too cold and would not be able to find a partner, so he wanted to set up Tang Liu Yuan and Sun Yu Ming, so that at least Sun Yu Ming, as a senior, would be more tolerant of Tang Liu Yuan.

Now that he knew that Tang Liu Yuan already had someone in mind, he couldn’t help but be happy. He pulled Xia Cheng Lang and asked about him carefully, and after observing Xia Cheng Lang’s personality and temperament for a while, he couldn’t help but be even more satisfied and nodded his head repeatedly.

“Wish you happiness.” Teacher Wang reached out and patted Tang Liu Yuan and Xia Cheng Lang on the shoulder, smiling heartily, while other colleagues in the Institute also came forward to wish them well, all happy for Tang Liu Yuan.

Xia Cheng Lang thanked them all with a smile, then looked at them and asked: “When I walked up here, I saw everyone was very excited, is there something happy going on?”

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and laughed at his words and looked at Tang Liu Yuan beside him.

Teacher Wang said with a look of relief: “Young man, you are blessed, our Liu Yuan is now a great hero of the Empire, someone all the Omegas have to thank.”

Xia Cheng Lang understood almost instantly and turned his head in surprise to look at Tang Liu Yuan, “You’ve worked it out?”

“……En.” Tang Liu Yuan nodded slightly, smiled and said, “I’ve developed a drug that can control Omega pheromones.”

Xia Cheng Lang immediately picked Tang Liu Yuan up and spun him around a few times, saying in an excited voice: “Congratulations!”

He still remembered the sparkle in Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes when he told him about this dream, and he firmly believed at that time that Tang Liu Yuan would definitely realise his dream, and now, he was lucky enough to witness this moment when Tang Liu Yuan realised his dream.

He put Tang Liu Yuan down and looked straight down into his eyes. The light in Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes was still exactly the same as it was then, tough and persistent, which was what attracted him the most.

He couldn’t help but lower his head and gently kissed the corner of Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes, praising in a low voice, “You’re great.”

Tang Liu Yuan curled his lips and whispered: “So are you, you have also fulfilled your dream.”

Xia Cheng Lang had also managed to protect the Xia family just as he had hoped at the start.

The two of them smiled at each other and couldn’t help but move closer, their lips touching softly.

The people around them cheered, and Tang Liu Yuan tilted his head in some embarrassment, unable to resist curling his lips and looking at everyone with a smiles in their eyes.

In the evening, Xia Cheng Lang invited everyone from the Institute to dinner, and everyone went, even Sun Yu Ming had rushed over after work.

When Xia Cheng Lang saw Sun Yu Ming, he couldn’t help his own childishness from acting up, sitting across from him and humming lightly as he asked: “What brings you here?”

“Naturally, I came to congratulate Liu Yuan.” Sun Yu Ming raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Tang Liu Yuan, revealing a gentle smile, “Congratulations, you did it.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Tang Liu Yuan nodded his head and smiled.

Sun Yu Ming lifted his glass and said with a smile: “I’ll drink to you.”

“En.” Tang Liu Yuan lifted his wine, he could not drink much, but everyone was happy tonight, so he had to drink some.

Xia Cheng Lang snatched the glass away and said unhappily: “I’ll drink for Liu Yuan.”

Sun Yu Ming didn’t refuse and let Xia Cheng Lang drink for Tang Liu Yuan, drinking three glasses in a row before finally putting down his glass.

Everyone in the room knew that Sun Yu Ming had an interest in Tang Liu Yuan, and understood that the two of them were now love rivals who were particularly jealous upon meeting, so they could not help but dodge to the side, fearing that they would fight at the drop of a hat.

While Xia Cheng Lang and Sun Yu Ming were drinking, Tang Liu Yuan was called over by Teacher Wang. Tang Liu Yuan had made an academic breakthrough today. Teacher Wang was happy to have such a proud student, and couldn’t help drinking a few more glasses.

After he called Tang Liu Yuan over, he chanted a lot of advice, both in medicine and in life, and Tang Liu Yuan listened to all of them, answering a few words from time to time, and even though Teacher Wang repeated them over and over again, he did not have the least bit of impatience.

Sun Yu Ming put down his glass and glanced at Tang Liu Yuan, his gaze filled with admiration and regret.

He turned his head to look at Xia Cheng Lang and suddenly said, “I really admire Liu Yuan, not just like him, in fact it’s not just me, there are many others who admire him like I do, there is something special about him that makes people admire him and also make them unconsciously attracted to him.”

Although Xia Cheng Lang hated that this was coming from the mouth of his love rival, he still agreed with these words. To him, that special something in Tang Liu Yuan was light, a light that constantly attracted him.

Sun Yu Ming raised his head and drank a glass of wine as he continued to murmur: “In our hospital, not only Alphas and Betas, but even a lot of Omegas all likes Liu Yuan.”

Xia Cheng Lang smiled and said with some pride: “Back in school too, everyone liked him and there were quite a few Omegas who confessed their love to him.”

Sun Yu Ming continued to laugh and looked at Xia Cheng Lang, saying meaningfully: “Then you have to be careful, now that Liu Yuan’s experiment is successful, in the future, Omegas will no longer be bound by pheromones. Omega and Omega can also be together. This research result of Tang Liu Yuan’s has helped a lot of Omegas, they must be very grateful to him and will definitely like him a lot. Congratulations, you have more love rivals.”

Xia Cheng Lang’s face froze and the smile on his face completely froze, if it wasn’t for Sun Yu Ming reminding him, he almost forgot why he had pretended to be an Omega to get close to Tang Liu Yuan in the first place.

Now that Tang Liu Yuan’s experiment had succeeded……would Tang Liu Yuan still want an Omega partner just as he had back then?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and his sense of crisis rose. He just wanted to put a ring on Tang Liu Yuan’s hand now and declare his sovereignty! Let the Alphas, Betas and Omegas not even think of getting close to Tang Liu Yuan!
