After Shen Zui went missing yesterday, Xiao Li immediately went to look for him.
In the end, it was the manager of Light who told them that Shen Zui had been taken away by Lou Boyu. As for why Shen Zui left with Lou Boyu and why he fought with Su Ran, they still haven’t figured it out.
Su Ran, on the other hand, refused to say a single word. In fact, when he first woke up, his attitude was such that he seemed ready to break ties with Shen Group outright, as if they were mortal enemies.
Jiang Songyue had privately contacted Su Ran, but the other party simply didn’t respond.
To make matters worse, Jiang Songyue wasn’t currently in Country A, and Xiao Li couldn’t do much about it either, so the only remaining breakthrough was Shen Zui.
However, they couldn’t find out the exact location of the Lou Family. The Lou Family’s business dealings were already shady, and for safety reasons, they owned many different properties under various names. As for where Lou Boyu usually lived, he frequently changed residences.
Although Xiao Li had already sent people to investigate, just checking all the possible locations would take at least two or three days.
Jiang Songyue never expected that, just one day after he left, some wild man would already have his eyes on Shen Zui. What made him even more uneasy was the way Lou Boyu looked at Shen Zui.
Although that gaze couldn’t exactly be called affection, Jiang Songyue understood it all too well—because just a few months ago, he had looked at Shen Zui the same way.
Lou Boyu had already begun to take an interest in Shen Zui.
Feeling Lou Boyu pressed against his back, Shen Zui couldn’t help but click his tongue.
As expected of the male lead—just making a phone call, and the male supporting character immediately comes over.
Is this the so-called halo of a heartthrob?
Soon, Jiang Songyue’s gentle yet distant voice came from the other end of the phone, “President Lou, it’s been a while. The last time we met was at Ah Zui’s and my wedding.”
Actually, that wasn’t his first meeting with Lou Boyu.
Before the wedding, Lou Boyu had privately arranged to meet him. At that time, the other party had straightforwardly asked him if he was willing to call off the wedding.
The reason was simple: his pheromone compatibility with Lou Boyu was extremely high. Since it was an arranged marriage anyway, whatever the Shen Family could offer, the Lou Family could provide just as well.
At that moment, he had indeed wavered. He had even said he would go back and think about it.
But in the end, he had refused.
To this day, Jiang Songyue was still immensely grateful that he hadn’t given up on marrying Shen Zui because of that momentary hesitation. He just never expected that Lou Boyu would now set his sights on Shen Zui.
Meanwhile, Shen Zui was secretly grinning to himself.
He tilted his head, watching Lou Boyu and Jiang Songyue stare at each other across the screen, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. See? The male lead and the male supporting character have already locked eyes!
If he hadn’t brought the two of them together in advance, waiting for Jiang Songyue to return to the country and slowly nurture their feelings, who knows how long that would have taken.
How could there be such a dedicated and responsible cannon fodder like him in this world!
When the system upgrades and comes back, seeing this scene, it’ll definitely look at him in a new light.
This move was simply perfect.
Lou Boyu spoke leisurely, “Yes, I never expected Mrs. Shen to still be so radiant.”
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, looking at Shen Zui, who had his back to him, and his tone suddenly became casual and intimate.
“By the way, Mr. Shen, you just woke up. Are you hungry? Do you want to go downstairs and eat something?”
As his words fell, his fingers had already hooked a strand of hair by Shen Zui’s ear, idly playing with it.
All of this unfolded right before Jiang Songyue’s eyes.
Reminded like this, Shen Zui realized he was indeed a bit hungry.
But his tone toward Jiang Songyue on the other end of the phone remained stubborn and dismissive. “Alright, alright, I’m going to eat. Don’t keep calling me for no reason in the future, it’s annoying.”
With that, he directly hung up the video call.
On Jiang Songyue’s phone screen, the final frozen frame was the moment Lou Boyu looked up toward the camera, his gaze carrying undisguised provocation. His tongue lightly licked the corner of his mouth as he lowered his head close to Shen Zui’s neck, as if sniffing something.
The screen then went black.
After hanging up, Shen Zui immediately sent a message to Xiao Li.
[Shen Zui: One month’s salary deduction!]
A few seconds later.
[Xiao Li: ?]
When he went downstairs, Shen Zui made himself at home and sat at the dining table, eating heartily while casually clearing messages on his phone as he ate.
Across from him, Lou Boyu’s dining manners were much more composed. The man’s movements were elegant, even picking up dishes seemed unhurried.
Only, he was also looking down at his phone, replying to messages. And the person on the other end was none other than Jiang Songyue.
[Jiang Songyue: So what does President Lou mean by this?]
Lou Boyu leisurely wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
Oh? Is he angry? He had originally thought that since Shen Zui spent his days drunk in nightclubs, Jiang Songyue probably didn’t care much about this husband in name.
Now it seemed the opposite—Jiang Songyue seemed to care quite a bit about Shen Zui. This was a bit troublesome.
He had thought that since Jiang Songyue needed money, giving him money would make him divorce Shen Zui, easily resolving the matter.
[Lou Boyu: Speaking of which, does Mr. Jiang know President Shen’s secret? Last night I discovered that Shen Zui’s pheromones actually don’t reject me. But President Shen, isn’t he an Alpha?]
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a new message popped up.
[Jiang Songyue: President Lou, please stay away from my husband. He is not the same kind of person as you.]
Lou Boyu was still smiling, but the smile never reached his eyes.
Not the same kind of person? It was nothing more than implying that their Lou Family was shady.
However, this Jiang Songyue was indeed as unusual as he had thought.
When they first met, Jiang Songyue appeared gentle and delicate, very much like the obedient Omega commonly seen in aristocratic families. But Lou Boyu never believed appearances beyond intuition. His intuition had told him from the start that this person was no innocent flower.
The Jiang family head had many illegitimate children. In aristocratic circles, such things weren’t rare, but strangely, most of those children didn’t grow up. Their Lou Family dealt in dirty work that couldn’t see the light of day, so naturally, they had heard some rumors about this.
It was said that the Jiang family’s wife had dealt with those children.
Yet Jiang Songyue not only survived but was even recognized back into the Jiang family. Such a person couldn’t possibly be simple.
Later, Lou Boyu indeed sent people to investigate Jiang Songyue thoroughly.
The more he investigated, the more interesting it became.
[Lou Boyu: Is that so? Not the same kind of person? Then President Shen and you, Mr. Jiang, are the same kind of people?]
A message quickly popped up again.
[Lou Boyu: As far as I know, the one who was supposed to marry President Shen for the alliance was originally your older brother.]
[Lou Boyu: It’s just that later he suddenly had a car accident.]
Lou Boyu lowered his gaze to the screen, slowly typing out the final sentence with his fingertips.
【Lou Boyu: During that time, Mr. Jiang must have been in urgent need of money, right? After all, your mother had cancer.】
The screen fell silent for a moment.
Then.
【Lou Boyu: Mr. Jiang, how clean do you think you are? If President Shen were to find out about this, what would happen? Would he be disgusted by you, afraid of you? How would he see you? After all, his own partner turns out to be so vicious.】
A few seconds later, the other side finally replied.
【Jiang Songyue: I don’t understand what President Lou is talking about. Lastly, I must ask President Lou to show some restraint and not do anything disgraceful.】
Lou Boyu let out a low chuckle. Disgraceful? Did he care about such things?
