This made Fu Sheng very angry, but considering the presence of He Beijia, he knew that He Yuan would definitely be unhappy. So at this moment, he suppressed his anger and tried to persuade him gently.
He Yuan said, “I want to smoke. Not smoking feels uncomfortable.”
Fu Sheng frowned and said, “Don’t be childish.”
He Yuan replied, “I’m in a bad mood. If you don’t allow it, I might continue smoking behind your back. After all, it’s my body, and I’ll use it however I want.”
Fu Sheng stared at him for a while, sighed wearily, and said, “He Yuan, you’re angry.”
He Yuan asked, “Is my anger not obvious enough?”
Fu Sheng said, “He Beijia won’t affect our relationship. If you’re afraid that I won’t be able to resist his pheromone attraction, I’ll try my best to avoid seeing him.”
He Yuan was slightly surprised that Fu Sheng could say such things. He said, “But you will still use his pheromones. A will become addicted to O’s pheromones.”
“As long as we get through this transition period, I won’t have any more contact with him in the future. Can’t you just see him as a tool for extracting pheromones?” Fu Sheng touched He Yuan’s face and said, “He Yuan, can you be a bit more obedient like before?”
He Yuan, gentle and understanding, only when he was by Fu Sheng’s side, could Fu Sheng feel relaxed and at ease.
He Yuan lowered his head and chuckled softly. Under Fu Sheng’s persistent gaze, he softly responded, “Mm.”
Fu Sheng’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he carried He Yuan into the bathroom to take a shower. Afterward, he led him to bed and they embraced each other, falling asleep.
Half an hour later, He Yuan, who was sleeping in Fu Sheng’s arms, suddenly opened his eyes. There was no sleepiness in his eyes as he stared quietly at the electronic butler on the wall. Fu Sheng usually woke up at six o’clock sharp, maintaining his biological clock year-round, so even after staying up all night, he would still wake up at six o’clock.
The electronic butler would start its operation at six o’clock, but before getting into bed, Fu Sheng had adjusted the instructions to delay its activation by two hours, allowing He Yuan to rest properly.
He Yuan gently moved Fu Sheng’s hand that was wrapped around his waist, got up silently, and entered a command line by typing in code. Once the execution was complete, the code would be automatically destroyed, leaving no trace behind.
Then he left the bedroom and entered Fu Sheng’s study. He stayed there for a while, checked the surveillance footage, and only then did he leave. He returned to the bedroom and thoroughly deleted all traces of contact with strangers from his phone.
He Yuan turned around and looked at Fu Sheng’s cold and stern face. He traced the contours of his face with his fingertips, his gaze still gentle. “I don’t believe that A can break free from its dependence on O’s pheromones, and the same goes for you.” New chapters come out on novelping dot com first.
“Fu Sheng, I really like you.”
He Yuan kissed the corner of Fu Sheng’s lips and then buried himself in his embrace, while the sleeping Fu Sheng instinctively held him tightly.
The electronic butler on the wall blinked and triggered a command, releasing a harmless gas that would help them sleep better. The two of them quickly entered a deep slumber.
***
Nine o’clock in the morning was the time for work and school. The whole society resembled a giant machine that started operating, with everyone being a cog in the machine, moving within their own positions, day after day, mundane and unremarkable.
However, for the Fu family, Fang family, and He family in the military district compound, this day was like a sudden thunderclap that shook their world to its core.
Even the retired Patriarch of the Fu family couldn’t help but come out to stabilise the chaotic situation, surveying the faces gathered in the old mansion of the Fu family. However, he couldn’t find Fu Sheng, who should have been at the forefront. He asked in a deep voice, “Where is Fu Sheng?”
A member of the Fu family stepped forward and said, “We can’t reach our cousin.”
Patriarch Fu was furious. “Find him and bring him to me immediately!” After a pause, he said, “Go to He Yuan’s house and find him.”
Fu Jiaqi replied, “We have already sent someone there.”
In the Huashang Luxury Apartments, Fu Sheng, who had woken up an hour later than the scheduled time, finally received a communication from Fu Jiaqi. He immediately got up and dressed.
He Yuan, still groggy, asked, “What’s wrong?”
Fu Sheng pulled him into a deep kiss and said, “Nothing, just go back to sleep.”
He Yuan ignored him and went back to sleep.
Fu Sheng hurried to the old mansion of the Fu family. He was met with the head of Patriarch Fu’s cane, narrowly avoiding it. He said, “Grandfather, now is not the time to blame me. Dealing with the urgent matter is more important.”
Without waiting for the Patriarch’s response, he turned to Fu Jiaqi, Fu Jiajing, and the others standing behind their respective elders, including He Xingwen and Fang Gaomin. Fu Sheng sat down expressionlessly and asked Fu Jiaqi to explain in detail what had happened.
Fu Jiaqi described every detail of the situation. It turned out that in the morning, a local radio station broke the news about the incident involving the jade material from last night, which resulted in the loss of two lives on the border. The impact was significant, and the news quickly climbed to the top of the homepage hot topics on the current most popular social media platform.
However, not long after, another piece of news broke out. It revealed that six years ago, several individuals from the military district compound had set fire to a bar in the capital in order to seize the land that belonged to a beta’s family. Land in the capital was extremely valuable, and keeping it in one’s possession was the right choice.
The privileged sons from the military district compound were denied the purchase of the land, and in their rage, they set fire to the beta landowners and their one-year-old child, burning them to death. Afterwards, they manipulated the situation and claimed the land as their own, building a new bar on the same site.
It was the famous soulmate bar in the capital!
Fu Sheng also had a stake in soulmate, so he was implicated in this incident as well.
Fu Sheng pressed his temples and asked calmly, “Is it true?”
He had been brought into the company as a shareholder and had just returned to the country, so he genuinely didn’t know about the problematic source of the bar.
Fang Gaomin’s father chuckled and said, “It’s all attention-seeking news. Fu Sheng, just put some pressure on a few departments, and after some time, when people forget about it, everything will be fine.”
Fu Sheng slammed the table suddenly, his aggressive pheromones erupting abruptly, causing everyone present to involuntarily change their expressions, except for Patriarch Fu, who had experienced battles and maintained his composure.
Fu Jiajing exclaimed, “Fu Sheng!!”
Fu Sheng: “Tell the truth!”
Fang Gaomin’s father trembled and couldn’t speak. Hei Xingwen and his mother cowered beside him, too afraid to say anything. Finally, only Fang Gaomin mustered the courage to step forward and say, “It… it’s true.”
Fu Sheng took a deep breath. The scent of rusted iron from his pheromones didn’t dissipate; instead, it grew stronger and more terrifying. It weighed on the backs of everyone in front of him like a mountain. Meanwhile, Patriarch Fu remained composed, sitting in his high seat, clearly indicating that he entrusted the matter to Fu Sheng.
Fu Sheng: “I remember the beta father and son abandoned by Fang Ji were locals and also owned a bar.”
Fang Gaomin’s hands trembled. “…It was him. We didn’t intend to kill him. At that time, my brother had already married his wife and was planning to start anew in the south. The Fang family also needed Fang Ji! But he wouldn’t give up. He kept pestering Fang Ji and inserting himself wherever he could. I just wanted to drive him out of the capital, but he refused to leave. He clung to the bar, not only making sarcastic remarks but also resorting to violence. We had a few drinks that night before the fire broke out… it was already too late to save him.”
