Chapter 21: Out of Control

Chi Han never thought Yao Zhen would lie to him, so he believed the words “pheromone disorder” without a doubt. Seeing Yao Zhen silent and surrounded by a low-pressure aura, he assumed it was a symptom of the illness. His tone softened, “Yao Zhen, when we go back this time, how about I accompany you to the hospital?”

Yao Zhen hugged his arms tightly, his eyes still downcast, and then shook his head firmly.

This action inexplicably ignited a fire of anger in Chi Han’s heart, like a stone covering a geyser. It seemed inconspicuous, but when the stone was suddenly removed, all sorts of lava sparks burst out. The pheromones in the room changed slightly, making Yao Zhen feel a bit suffocated. But no matter what, he wouldn’t go to the hospital with Chi Han. A full-body check-up would reveal everything, and he might not be able to bear the consequences.

“I’m not going.” Yao Zhen said against his will, “If you find me troublesome, you don’t have to care about me…” Although he accepted Chi Han’s kindness, he rarely took the initiative to speak.

Chi Han’s pupils shrank, a cold light flashing. He suddenly leaned over, pressing Yao Zhen face-up on the bed, and said coldly, “What do you mean by ‘you don’t have to care about me’? Yao Zhen, do you think I’m being overly sentimental every day?”

Yao Zhen turned his head to the side, “I never said that.”

“Then what do you mean?” Chi Han’s tone suddenly slowed, a thought crossing his mind, “Or… is it not a pheromone disorder at all?”

This was one of the possibilities Chi Han could think of, something that shouldn’t happen. But for some reason, looking at Yao Zhen’s attitude, he blurted it out, then saw the person beneath him stiffen and close his eyes tightly.

Yao Zhen was avoiding!

Chi Han’s eyes were sharp and penetrating, as if he could get the answer he wanted even if Yao Zhen didn’t say it. If it’s not a pheromone disorder, then what is it? A white mist rose, a trace flashing through Chi Han’s mind, but he couldn’t catch it in time.

Either it’s not a pheromone disorder, or it’s a psychological resistance caused by the disorder.

Chi Han quickly thought it over, his own pheromones unconsciously becoming sharp. Yao Zhen couldn’t bear even a hint of hostility now, letting out a muffled groan. Chi Han quickly released him, pulling him into his arms and biting off the gland patch without a word.

The series of actions were done without thinking, becoming more and more “from the heart.”

Yao Zhen’s eyes reddened from the stimulation, leaning against Chi Han’s shoulder with half-closed eyes. It was always like this… A caring gesture from Chi Han could stir up his emotions.

His body felt hot, and after absorbing the pheromones, he felt even weaker. Yao Zhen stopped speaking, his attitude still seemingly cold, but when Chi Han left, he found Yao Zhen’s fingers unconsciously clutching his clothes.

Saying one thing and meaning another.

Chi Han leaned close to Yao Zhen’s ear, “I’ll bring something to eat, be right back.”

Yao Zhen frowned, digesting the words before letting go.

But when Chi Han returned, the rich scent of mint filled the entire bedroom, carrying a decadent smell, like a mint garden trampled on a rainy day, with leaves and soil mixed together, even a bit fishy.

Chi Han’s face changed drastically, heat period?

Yao Zhen lay on his side on the bed, his face no longer pale, appearing as a peach blossom color in Chi Han’s eyes. He clutched his chest in discomfort, understanding in his hazy consciousness what was happening. What to do? He was in heat on the first day here. Although Chi Han was present, Yao Zhen let out a pained whimper, but resisted the Omega instinct: to shamelessly seek an Alpha.

Chi Han must be very annoyed with him like this, the subconscious negative emotions surged, turning into a sharp blade piercing his heart, making Yao Zhen wish he could die from the discomfort.

The heat period is the most difficult time for an Omega, without exception. With a child, Yao Zhen’s resistance only intensified the backlash, until the mint scent was so strong that it rotted from root to leaf.

“Chi Han…” Yao Zhen called out unconsciously.

This call pulled Chi Han back from a sudden illusion. How many times had it been? Always thinking of doing that with Yao Zhen. He strode to the bedside, sat down slowly, then removed Yao Zhen’s slightly askew glasses, his fingertips warm, like a cool spring to the burning Yao Zhen.

Yao Zhen opened his eyes, the red peach forest instantly capturing Chi Han’s soul.

Chi Han took a shallow breath, recalling some people’s comments about Yao Zhen: How could he be an Omega? He didn’t look delicate or soft, not attractive at all.

This is called not attractive?! Chi Han really wanted to check if those people’s eyes were constructed normally.

“Is it very uncomfortable?” Chi Han’s voice was hoarse.

Yao Zhen’s eyes were filled with watery hues, nodding.

Chi Han coaxed, “Do you remember… we haven’t divorced, right?”

Yao Zhen was silent for a longer time this time, then hesitantly nodded.

“Then do you mind if I exercise my rights as a husband while we’re still married?” Chi Han released pheromones strong enough to make Yao Zhen’s mind spin, “Mr. Yao?”

The term “Mr. Yao” blew away all of Yao Zhen’s rationality. He was trapped in a blush, his thin lips moved, and Chi Han understood it as “No,” he didn’t mind.

A cold wind seemed to blow, bringing a refreshing cedar scent, mixing perfectly with the decadent mint aroma.

Some suppressed images resurfaced in Chi Han’s mind, and even amidst the passion, he could spare a bit of rationality to think carefully. Maybe he really had been with Yao Zhen before the divorce.

So beautiful, Chi Han thought Yao Zhen was beautiful even when frowning. His advantage as a top-level Alpha was fully displayed at this moment, which was endless.

…

Yao Zhen woke up in the middle of the night, moonlight spilling through the glass window.

He belatedly realized what had happened, leaning against a hot chest, and both of them were unclothed.

Yao Zhen’s mind buzzed, fully waking up. He suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. Although Chi Han hadn’t signed the divorce agreement, the decisive separation was still vivid. Who would have thought that in less than a month, what couldn’t be done within the marriage was now realized, that he and Chi Han had rolled in bed together.

The bruises on his body were somewhat terrifying, Yao Zhen didn’t dare to look. He casually picked up a shirt from the floor, put it on, and moved his limbs, finding them surprisingly strong.

An Omega can still have a heat period during pregnancy, with varying intensity. Some fragile Omegas can’t handle it, but clearly, the baby in Yao Zhen’s belly was as strong as his father, finally quieting down after being fed with pheromones.

The moonlight outlined Yao Zhen’s thin silhouette. Chi Han didn’t know when he woke up, just quietly watching. He was really too thin, worried about breaking him when using force, he needed to be well-nourished in the future.

The next morning, Chi Han rarely slept in, but when he woke up, there was no one beside him. That half of the bed was very messy, with a sense of fleeing in panic.

Chi Han narrowed his eyes dangerously, slept with him and then wanted to run?

Yao Zhen indeed slipped away before dawn, his shirt buttons were all gone, unable to wear Chi Han’s. Yao Zhen sat at the desk, rubbing his face, thinking what a mess! More awkward was having to face that person again tonight, he could already imagine Chi Han sitting on the sofa with a half-smile.

The person in charge of Ruixing soon arrived, a middle-aged Alpha in his forties, accompanied by a secretary, also an Alpha. Their eyes fell on Yao Zhen, carrying a few inscrutable looks, yet unable to hide the mockery. Yao Zhen ignored it, used to it. After all, he was an Omega, and the business world was an Alpha’s battlefield, the existence of an Omega was a deep-seated discrimination.

Because the previous negotiations went smoothly, the other party’s general manager quite recognized Yao Zhen’s ability, so his personal visit represented the importance of the Qin family. The final negotiation and signing were fairly harmonious, both parties got what they wanted.

Standing up to bow and say goodbye, Yao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. This way, he could report back to Qin Yaosheng and have time to rest and take care of the baby.

But just as he touched the doorknob, his whole body suddenly felt electrified, strength instantly drained, and Yao Zhen couldn’t help but kneel on the ground, his breathing growing heavier. The heat period wasn’t over! Yao Zhen panicked a bit, he left in a hurry without wearing a gland patch, the mint scent faintly losing control.

“Mint scent, huh?” The person in charge walked over, his tone frivolous, wrapped in greed as he stared at Yao Zhen.

An Omega in heat without protection can instantly trigger an Alpha’s desire.

“Looking at it this way, Mr. Yao may not be delicate, but he has a unique charm.” The person in charge was naturally someone who didn’t mind anything, and had been wanting to find an Omega to vent these past two days. Yao Zhen just happened to bump into him, he had never tasted mint-scented pheromones before. Seeing the red at the corner of Yao Zhen’s eyes, even glasses couldn’t hide the allure, his consciousness sank, and his courage quickly grew. He signaled to his assistant, “Go keep watch outside.”

The assistant was also stimulated by Yao Zhen’s pheromones, unable to move his steps, finally leaving reluctantly under the person’s angry rebuke.

“Mr. Wang, I’m married, I have an Alpha, what you’re doing is illegal.” Yao Zhen struggled to support his body, constantly moving back until he was against the cold wall, with nowhere to retreat.

The person in charge sneered, “Precisely because you’re married, after having relations with me, would you dare tell your Alpha? No Alpha would choose an unfaithful Omega, you would only hide it.”

“No!” Yao Zhen was firm, “My Alpha is Chi Han, I will tell him word for word, Mr. Wang, can you bear his wrath?”

The person in charge hesitated, seeing Yao Zhen’s appearance not like joking. He naturally knew Chi Han, even if he didn’t like Yao Zhen, he would still be furious for the sake of Alpha’s face.

At this moment, a white furball suddenly appeared from behind Yao Zhen, first yawning, then elegantly stepping forward, tail fluffy, walking step by step to the person in charge, its eyes dark and harmless.

Yao Zhen: “?” When did it follow?!

The person in charge stared at it, “Mr. Yao, you still have…”

“Roar!!!” The white furball suddenly leaped up, instantly transforming into a huge beast, tongue scarlet, fangs sharp. It pinned the person in charge down, a torrential pheromone emanating from it, filled with rage.

Yao Zhen was stunned, this pheromone was exactly the same as Chi Han’s…
