Chapter 20: Don’t Avoid Seeing a Doctor

The little guy was personally left in the room by Qin Wen. He had triple-checked that the doors and windows were closed, with only small gaps for ventilation. So how did it get out?!

Facing Qin Wen’s shocked gaze, Chi Han remained unfazed, “I went to your house to find you, and it clung to me and wouldn’t let go. I guess it missed you.”

Although that was true, Qin Wen softly asked, “Did you come all the way just because of it? And how did you bring it on the plane?”

“Qinglan Airlines is invested by the Chi family. I just brought a pet.” The advantage of being powerful is that you can confidently make up stories.

Qin Wen rubbed his temples, his other hand stroking the little fox, “It’s just… it doesn’t seem like your style.”

Too willful.

Just as he finished speaking, warm breath brushed against his cheek, and Qin Wen’s whole body stiffened. He slightly opened his eyes, hearing Chi Han’s deep voice in his ear, “I’ll be honest, I just wanted to come along.”

Chi Han hadn’t released any oppressive pheromones, yet Qin Wen felt like prey, a mix of comfort and unease washing over him. He slightly turned his head, “Come along… for what?”

“Not at ease,” Chi Han said softly, “Your pheromones are in disarray, and yet you dare to run out like this. Qin Wen, do you remember you’re an Omega?”

He spoke, but the distance between them closed even more.

Qin Wen’s heart raced. Of course, he would be moved by his Alpha.

Not at ease? It’s hard to imagine Chi Han having people or things he’s not at ease with. The young man’s hand, hidden under the blanket, slowly clenched. He decided to change his plans and take a gamble.

Qin Wen looked at Chi Han, his eyes deepening, just about to say something when the curtain was gently pulled open, revealing the bright and charming face of a flight attendant.

Qin Wen and Chi Han were too close, the ambiguity visible to the naked eye. The flight attendant’s smile froze, and she quickly said, “Sorry!” before pulling the curtain back.

Qin Wen pressed down on the little fox’s head, letting out a shallow breath.

“They can’t see us,” Chi Han said, coldly glancing at the white furball comfortably lying in Qin Wen’s arms.

“Get some more sleep.” Chi Han’s control over his pheromones and mental power had reached a level where he could manipulate them at will. With him and Qin Wen at the center, an invisible barrier formed, ensuring Qin Wen’s absolute safety here.

The chill on his body faded, and it felt as comfortable as being at home. Qin Wen gradually lost his clarity, and in his daze, someone gently pressed his neck, guiding him to rest on Chi Han’s shoulder. His fingers unconsciously stroked the little fox’s fur.

Chi Han ignored the mental resistance, forcibly retracting the entity, and slightly parted Qin Wen’s hair, noticing the gland patch was a bit crooked. He once again realized that Qin Wen couldn’t take care of himself. This person seemed rational and composed, but in reality, he couldn’t escape the inherent weaknesses of an Omega, not even as attentive to himself as an average Omega.

Chi Han took out a new gland patch from his jacket pocket. Normally, such an item wouldn’t be found on an Alpha. Alphas and Omegas naturally have a “hierarchical relationship,” evident in many aspects. A good Alpha might take care of their Omega, but rarely to such a meticulous extent.

Indeed, Chi Han didn’t think of himself as particularly meticulous; he just wanted to carry it with him.

Chi Han pressed a button beside him, and a flight attendant immediately came over. He pointed to a cup, indicating for her to pour some hot water.

The flight attendant saw clearly that this handsome Alpha was holding the packaging of a gland patch, the same one on the Omega’s neck beside him. How considerate…

Forty minutes later, the plane landed smoothly, and Chi Han’s private car was waiting outside. He originally planned to carry Qin Wen down, but as soon as he touched the young man’s knees, he woke up. Qin Wen’s face didn’t look good; the plane wasn’t like home, and at this moment, his lower abdomen ached.

“What’s wrong?” Chi Han pressed his shoulder.

Surrounded by the scent of cedar, Qin Wen lost his temper, murmuring, “Not fully awake…”

Chi Han understood and led him to the car.

“This is the hotel I booked.” Qin Wen handed his phone to Chi Han, “Could you please take me there?”

Chi Han glanced at it indifferently, “Hmm, I haven’t booked yet either, so let’s go together.”

Qin Wen didn’t quite believe it. Chi Han was used to doing things thoroughly, or rather, such last-minute decisions would irritate him. “Wait!” Qin Wen suddenly woke up from his drowsiness, looking around in shock, “Where’s my fox?!”

Chi Han’s eye twitched, sensing the excitement in his mental power, then resignedly reached behind him, pulling out the white furball like a magic trick.

Qin Wen quickly took it, his fondness written all over his face.

Chi Han texted the doctor: [Is excessive reliance on an Alpha’s pheromone entity also a symptom of disorder?]

The doctor, puzzled: [Which Alpha’s pheromone entity is he relying on?]

Chi Han: [Mine.]

The doctor almost choked: [No, the pheromone entity is another manifestation of your own pheromones… Relying on the pheromone entity is basically relying on you.] The entity doesn’t deliberately emit pheromones like its owner, making it gentler for an Omega.

Chi Han glanced at the overly affectionate furball, licking Qin Wen’s hand non-stop, thinking to himself, “Who else’s pheromone entity is like this?”

Upon arriving at the hotel, Qin Wen first submitted his booking information, while Chi Han waited quietly beside him. But then the receptionist, looking troubled, said, “Sorry, Mr. Qin, there was an error in our system, and someone has already checked into your room. Would you like to switch to another room?”

Qin Wen frowned, “Such a mistake shouldn’t happen.”

The receptionist just smiled apologetically, with no other explanation.

Chi Han suddenly spoke, “What rooms are left?”

“Although they’re not as good as the one Mr. Qin booked, there’s no problem accommodating both of you,” the receptionist, thinking Chi Han was easygoing, quickly showed him the room photos.

Chi Han squinted, “So small, who are you arranging this for?”

Receptionist: “…”

Qin Wen couldn’t find any fault with this. Chi Han had lived a life of privilege since childhood, and his unique demeanor had only made Old Master Chi value him more over time. For over twenty years, everything had gone smoothly for him, making him somewhat out of touch with reality.

“Um…” Qin Wen cleared his throat.

Chi Han played the domineering CEO role to perfection, “Do you have a presidential suite?”

Qin Wen: “…”

The receptionist’s eyes lit up. They were a five-star hotel, after all, so of course, they had one!

“Please show your ID.”

Chi Han extended his hand to Qin Wen, “Together.”

Qin Wen was slightly stunned, meaning they would stay together?

“Not together?” Chi Han seemed to have mind-reading skills, speaking in a voice only they could hear, “Are you sure you can leave my pheromones?” Not only did he say it, but he also released some to stimulate Qin Wen, like a feather, making his heart tremble.

Qin Wen wasn’t pretentious. He thought for only two seconds before nodding, “Hmm.” He had unexpected situations in Mo City where he couldn’t protect himself, and here, in unfamiliar territory, it was even more dangerous. Perhaps because he was pregnant, Qin Wen felt increasingly insecure, with his sharp nerves constantly reminding him that danger was all around. If not for his well-trained self-control, Qin Wen would have broken down at any moment, locking himself in a room and not stepping out.

He needed Chi Han.

He needed him when he was in love before, and now, with a child, he needed him even more.

Chi Han fiddled with his phone, instructing his assistant to cancel the previous booking. Everything was under control.

After swiping the room card and entering, Qin Wen quickly opened his coat to let the little fox out. But after taking just two steps, he stumbled, fortunately, Chi Han was right behind him, catching him, “Want to rest?”

“I want to take a bath.” Qin Wen clung to the man’s arm, not wanting to let go for a moment. Chi Han was an irresistible temptation, especially when he was unwell.

“Bathing after waking up is the same.” Without another word, Chi Han placed him on the bed, took off his coat, and tucked him into the blanket. The scent of cedar instantly intensified several times. He always found ways to easily break through Qin Wen’s psychological defenses.

The little fox jumped onto the blanket. It weighed almost nothing, and Qin Wen was always worried it might be malnourished.

Once Qin Wen’s breathing became even, Chi Han turned to his entity, pointing at its pink nose, “Behave yourself.”

The “little fox” lazily yawned, then suddenly bit Chi Han’s fingertip.

Both the man and the “beast” had a fierce look in their eyes, truly a chip off the old block, so affectionate.

The journey had taken its toll on Qin Wen. Chi Han prepared dinner, thinking that after four hours of sleep, it should be enough. But as soon as he opened the bedroom door, he smelled a slightly chaotic mint scent, sharp and piercing, a sign of the owner’s anxiety and unease. “Qin Wen?” Chi Han bent down to call him, and a few seconds later, Qin Wen suddenly opened his eyes. Though not fully awake, he immediately pushed Chi Han away, rushing to the bathroom. Having eaten little all day, he ended up vomiting only water, his throat swelling with a burning pain.

After Qin Wen stopped vomiting, Chi Han handed him a cup of warm water, speaking in a low voice, “Drink some.”

Qin Wen managed to swallow a few sips, almost being half-carried by Chi Han. Then he looked up, meeting Chi Han’s sharp gaze, like glass cut by something sharp, almost shattering Qin Wen’s facade.

Unable to speak, Qin Wen closed his eyes again, leaning against Chi Han, using a rare soft approach, “I feel awful…”

In no time, a low sigh sounded above him. Chi Han carried him back to bed, finally saying, “You can’t go on like this, Qin Wen. Don’t avoid seeing a doctor.”

Qin Wen lowered his head, hiding the mockery and helplessness in his eyes from Chi Han.

If he weren’t worried about exposing the fact that he was pregnant, he wouldn’t have to hide it. He had mentioned “pheromone disorder,” not expecting Chi Han to take it so seriously. But why not sooner… Qin Wen still didn’t dare to speak, fearing that once he did, Chi Han would instantly revert to his former cold self, forcing him to abort the child.
