Not long after Gu Yingyi came back, Shen Chao also came back. Shen Chao was not unhappy because of Gu Yingyi’s temporary departure. He seemed to be always so understanding and never lost his temper with Gu Yingyi.

　　When he came back, Gu Yingyi was still in the study. Shen Chao considerately heated a cup of milk for Gu Yingyi and brought it to him.

　　He pushed open the door and stepped on broken amber. On the ground were the ornaments that Gu Yingyi had smashed in a fit of anger not long ago. Gu Yingyi was troubled by something and sat at his desk with his head down and his brows knitted.

　　Shen Chao only glanced at the debris on the ground, then walked up to Gu Yingyi with a normal expression and handed him the milk: “Did something happen at work? Why are you so angry and rushing back in such a hurry?”

　　Shen Chao’s voice brought Gu Yingyi back to his senses. He didn’t even notice someone coming in just now.

　　”It’s not a big deal, Ah Chao. I’m sorry I missed accompanying you today.”

　　Shen Chao shook his head: “It doesn’t matter, work is important, there will be plenty of opportunities after we get married.”

　　marry.

　　Gu Yingyi paused and took the milk handed to him. Shen Chao gave him the milk and went out to get a broom and started sweeping the debris on the ground.

　　”Let Auntie clean it up tomorrow, don’t bother with it.” Gu Yingyi said.

　　”It’s just a small matter, no need to trouble Auntie.”

　　Shen Chao was sweeping the debris on the ground. He could imagine Gu Yingyi smashing the amber ornaments in anger because of Shen Yu’s “betrayal”.

　　He understood Gu Yingyi. He would never use anyone who betrayed him again, and the same went for Shen Yu. Even if he had feelings for Shen Yu, after what happened with Zhang Yang, he was sure that Shen Yu would never have the chance to return to Gu Yingyi.

　　In Gu Yingyi’s eyes, Shen Yu was already dirty.

　　He said deliberately, “Who is that person? I’m a little worried about Xiaoyu being with him. After all, he is my brother. I still hope he can be happy in the future.”

　　”If that person is good to Xiaoyu, maybe he is someone worthy of entrusting your life to, but it’s not yet…”

　　”Don’t mention him anymore!” Gu Yingyi’s irritable voice suddenly interrupted Shen Chao.

　　Stunned by his roar, Shen Chao looked at him in a daze.

　　Realizing that his emotions were a little out of control, he suppressed his anger, softened his tone, and patiently said to Shen Chao: “I’m sorry, I’m a little irritated about work, I didn’t mean to yell at you, who Shen Yu is with is none of our business, you should plan our wedding well and stop worrying about him.”

　　Shen Chao nodded quietly, took the broom and went out silently.

　　He stood at the door of the study, his eyes dark and unclear.

　　I can’t help but get excited. I should hate Shen Yu a little more. Obvious hatred is much easier to control than loving someone without knowing it.

　　It is destined that only I can be by your side.

　　……

　　During the week that Shen Yu was away, Gu Yingyi would pause for a few seconds every time he passed by the greenhouse.

　　Whenever I came back and passed by, I could see Shen Yu busy at work near the greenhouse. Sometimes he would fiddle with the flowers and plants outside, and sometimes he would stay in the greenhouse weaving all day.

　　I don’t know why, but every time I passed by, I always felt empty in my heart.

　　He found that he could not stop himself from thinking about the scene of Shen Yu lying with another Alpha. For a moment, he wanted to strangle Shen Yu to death.

　　This feeling made him hate it and feel lost, because this was the first time that Gu Yingyi was unable to control himself.

　　He stood at the door of the greenhouse, frowning and smoking, looking impatient. He stood there for a long time until the servant ran up to him in a hurry with a gloomy look on his face. Only then did he stop his messy thoughts.

　　He frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

　　The servant came running over, panting, “Mr. Shen…Mr. Shen is in heat.”

　　Gu Yingyi just stood outside the bedroom door and smelled the omega estrus pheromones overflowing from the crack of the door.

　　He opened the door, and the rich pheromones in the room immediately poured out. Due to his AO nature, even Gu Yingyi, an S-level Alpha, would have some reaction to such a rapid and strong omega pheromone.

　　This is their natural instinct, and no Alpha can reject an omega in heat.

　　Gu Yingyi dismissed the servants, “All of you go down.”

　　All the servants left and Gu Yingyi entered Shen Chao’s room.

　　Shen Chao huddled in the middle of the bed with a flushed face. He looked like he was soaked in water, drenched in sweat, and his clothes were torn into a mess. When he saw Gu Yingyi, his burning body immediately rushed back. “Yingyi, save me.”

　　Gu Yingyi reached out and hugged him, “A Chao.”

　　Shen Chao pressed his hot cheek against Gu Yingyi’s slightly cool skin, sighed comfortably, put his hand on his chest, rubbed Gu Yingyi and begged: “Yingyi, I feel so uncomfortable, please, mark me, mark me.”

　　Shen Chao’s lustful eyes were filled with tears, and he looked so pitiful. He tried his best to release pheromones in an attempt to arouse the desire of the Alpha who was holding him, but Gu Yingyi was slow to take the next step and just held him.

　　Shen Chao scratched himself impatiently, his hot body pressed tightly against Gu Yingyi, his voice filled with tears, “Yingyi. Please… I feel so bad, I feel so bad.”

　　Gu Yingyi released some pheromones to soothe Shen Chao, but in front of the omega in estrus, the Alpha’s pheromones could only stimulate him more.

　　As expected, after Shen Chao smelled Gu Yingyi’s pheromones, his body became even hotter. He cried and tore off his clothes, exposing the fragile and sweet glands of the omega to Gu Yingyi, “Yingyi, mark me, mark me quickly, I’m dying, I’m dying.”

　　A voice in his head told him frantically, “You are his fiancé, it is your duty to mark him, mark him quickly, isn’t he the moonlight you have always admired? Now he is in your arms, what are you still hesitating about? Mark him, he is yours.”

　　Tag him… Tag him…

　　Gu Yingyi stared at the slightly bulging gland with dark eyes. He sharpened his canine teeth, and his Alpha instinct drove him to bite down and pierce the soft flesh.

　　He grabbed Shen Chao’s hair and held him tightly in his arms.

　　Just as he was about to bite, another voice flashed through his mind again.

　　”Do you really want to mark him? Do you still love Shen Chao as purely as before? Admit it, Gu Yingyi, you have changed. You no longer love Shen Chao as much as before. You are always thinking about that fool in your heart.”

　　Gu Yingyi suddenly pushed Shen Chao away and pushed Shen Chao back onto the bed. The scent of lilies in the room made him breathless, but he was more shocked by the thought that had just flashed through his mind.

　　No, it’s not.

　　How could he possibly be thinking about Shen Yu?

　　The one he loves is Shen Chao. It has always been Shen Chao and it has never changed!

　　Gu Yingyi tried his best to refute his own heart. Shen Chao was tortured by the passion and was in great pain. Gu Yingyi came to his senses, quickly went to the living room to get the omega inhibitor, then returned to the room and gave Shen Chao the injection.

　　The inhibitor was injected into his glands, the rich pheromones in the room gradually dissipated, and Shen Chao’s body temperature slowly returned to normal. He was sweating all over and fell asleep shortly after the injection of the inhibitor.

　　Gu Yingyi put the sleeping Shen Chao on the bed, carefully covered him with a quilt, and then left Shen Chao’s room in a hurry with unprecedented panic, as if he was fleeing.

　　The next day, Shen Chao woke up from a deep sleep. Although the inhibitors could suppress the estrus period, the side effects were also very uncomfortable.

　　He touched the still painful and swollen gland at the back of his neck. There was only a cold pinprick there, no mark.

　　Gu Yingyi suppressed his instinct and did not mark him.

　　Shen Chao gritted his teeth.

　　Under what circumstances can one restrain the instinct and not mark an omega in heat? Unless the Alpha’s willpower is strong enough, deep down in his heart he simply does not want to mark the omega he does not want to mark.

　　Shen Chao closed his eyes.

　　He deliberately injected himself with a drug that would bring on early estrus last night just to leave a permanent mark with Gu Yingyi. As long as the permanent mark is not removed, the connection between the two will never be broken.

　　He wanted to use this to tie up Gu Yingyi, so he injected drugs that were harmful to the body to induce premature estrus.

　　But what did he get?

　　A shot of cold suppressant.

　　Shen Chao clutched the bed sheet tightly in hatred, his knuckles turning white from the force.

　　……

　　Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the wedding schedule set by Shen Chao and Gu Yingyi is approaching. Gu Yingyi later gave Shen Chao a good explanation for what happened that night, saying that Shen Chao’s body has not yet fully recovered, and he is afraid of hurting his body, so it is not suitable to be marked for the time being.

　　Well, one that is not suitable to be labeled.

　　The wedding is approaching, and he and Gu Yingyi are about to become legal partners, and they must not be disrupted by Shen Yu.

　　Shen Chao really couldn’t wait any longer, he had to become Gu Yingyi’s real Mrs. Gu in name only.

　　The evil child in Shen Yu’s belly always made Shen Chao nervous. He was afraid that the child would be like Lele, and he was even more afraid that Gu Yingyi would take Shen Yu to his side again because of the child.

　　He tossed and turned every night because of the child, wondering what he could do to prevent such a thing from happening.

　　The private detective he sent to follow Shen Yu received information that Zhang Yang’s trusted driver took Shen Yu to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

　　Counting the days, Shen Yu is already two months into his pregnancy, while it has only been a little over a month since the “accident” that happened between him and Zhang Yang.

　　The hospital Shen Yu went to was the same one Zhang Cheng had stayed at before.

　　He immediately thought of a solution and called Zhang Cheng, asking him to find a way to tamper with the pregnancy date on Shen Yu’s medical record and postpone it from two months to one month.

　　Zhang Cheng had acquaintances in that hospital, so it was not difficult to tamper with an ordinary medical record.

　　Soon, Zhang Cheng replied that he had completed what he had asked.

　　Shen Chao was satisfied and decided to take this news and give Gu Yingyi a “big surprise” that would completely cut off his last thoughts about Shen Yu.
