A Fatal Attraction from Lawyer A - Chapter 54

The boxing room echoed with the sound of intense combat, the savage force of boxing gloves colliding. Two powerful Alpha pheromones fiercely clashed in the sweat-soaked air, an evenly matched fight.

The black boxing gloves struck with extreme speed, precise impact, and brutal force. Every blow carried the raw wildness of an attack, and Luo Panzhi, wearing the blue gloves, struggled slightly to receive the heavy punches from his father.

Luo Panzhi’s black tank top was almost soaked through. The muscle lines of his exposed arms were taut and glistening with sweat. He raised his blue boxing gloves to block his father’s powerful punch. The next instant, he found an opening and quickly counterattacked with a jab.

The father and son held nothing back, their gazes locking with the same fierce intensity. In that moment, they were not father and son, but rivals.

“Big Dad, still strong in your old age,” Luo Panzhi laughed, though there was no humor in his eyes. He strained against Luo Qingye’s arm, tapping it to change the trajectory of the attack so it wouldn’t hit him, all while not forgetting to provoke him.

Luo Qingye didn’t respond. He immediately switched his front and back hands, adjusting his stance. Seeing that his son’s rhythm seemed slightly disrupted by his attack, his eyes suddenly darkened. He quickly moved forward into a grapple, instantly closing the distance between them, restraining Luo Panzhi’s punches. He found his moment and slammed Luo Panzhi hard onto the floor.

Thud! The sound of a knee hitting the floor heavily.

Luo Panzhi groaned. His arms were pinned by his father’s immense strength, and one leg was also trapped. Large beads of sweat dripped from his jawline. He met his father’s sharp eyes, feeling no shame, but rather laughing despite the pain: “Big Dad, you’ve still got it.”

He gathered strength, preparing to counterattack.

Luo Qingye sneered: “Luo Panzhi, I’ve trained you since you were little. Don’t let me underestimate you. I’ll put this out there: either surrender, or crawl out.”

“If Gu Yuxi saw me beaten up like this, he’d be heartbroken for me. You shouldn’t scare him either. Your son finally found a wife and even brought you a grandchild. Can you really bear to let me be single again this year?” Luo Panzhi was accustomed to being tortured since childhood. The only reason he could still laugh in adversity was his thick skin.

“How dare you say that?” Luo Qingye saw that the brat showed no remorse. Without softening his grip, he pressed down harder with his arm: “Why didn’t you tell your father immediately? What did I teach you? Why didn’t you tell us first when you encountered an unsolvable problem?”

Luo Panzhi felt the heavy punch pressing down on his heart. He gritted his teeth, his eyes shining brightly: “The reason I didn’t tell you is because I was afraid you and Dad wouldn’t approve of me and Gu Yuxi being together. How could we dare to say anything?”

“When did we ever say we didn’t approve of you being with Yuxi? Didn’t we only tell you about the potential problems that arise when two Alphas are together?” Luo Qingye saw his son’s face turning pale under his restraint and felt a pang of softness, slightly easing his grip.

Luo Panzhi instantly seized the chance when Luo Qingye loosened his hold. He swiftly hooked and grappled his father’s hands, reversing the restraint.

“So now what? Do you still object?”

Luo Qingye was heavily pinned by his son, instantly boiling with indignation: “You damn Luo Panzhi! I felt sorry for you and gave you some slack! I should have beaten you to death!”

“You can beat me if you want, but don’t hit the face.”

The father and son, having sparred standing up, had moved into ground fighting. Finally, utterly exhausted, they took off their headgear and tossed them aside, lying on the floor, panting.

Luo Panzhi lay on the floor, completely drenched in sweat. His outline was marked by the sweat on the floor. His exposed arms were already bruised in several places—evidence that Luo Qingye had shown no mercy. Several other spots were injured underneath his clothes.

He stared at the ceiling, gasping: “Big Dad, can we keep this child?”

“Do you want him?”

“Yuxi wants him, but I don’t.”

Luo Qingye was somewhat surprised. He turned his head to look at his son: “Why?”

Luo Panzhi wiped the sweat from his face and looked over at his Big Dad: “If you had known back then that Dad had a high risk of dying while giving birth to us, would you have agreed?”

Hearing his son’s question, Luo Qingye suddenly remembered their brief cold war over whether to have Panzhi and his brother. Looking back now, he was too young and immature then.

“I told him that if the risk of his pregnancy is more than twenty percent higher than an Omega or Beta, I won’t agree. I never considered children when I fell in love with him.” Luo Panzhi bit the velcro strap of his glove with his teeth, twisting his hand to tear off the boxing glove with a ‘rip!’: “I told you before, we have my brother and Yuchu, and they both have children, so we’re not lacking one.”

The knuckles beneath the boxing glove, not wrapped in bandages, were red. They had been fighting for nearly an hour.

“Even an Omega or a Beta faces high risks when giving birth,” Luo Qingye said: “Let alone an Alpha.”

“I know, and I told him that too.” Luo Panzhi raised his hand, moving his reddened knuckles, feeling a dull ache: “But you didn’t see him yesterday afternoon, sitting alone outside the hospital after finding out he was pregnant. It was the first time I saw him cry like that. Honestly, it broke my heart, and I felt like a failure.”

“Big Dad, what should I do?”

Luo Qingye recalled the first time he saw Gu Yuxi: “Your Dad and I first saw Yuxi at Galaxy Hospital. He had just undergone secondary differentiation into an Alpha. His pheromones were terrifying. Inhibitors and suppressants didn’t work. He was tied to the hospital bed, enduring the pain of the suture on his scent gland. Tears were falling, yet he was so stubborn he didn’t make a sound.”

Luo Panzhi frowned: “He told me about that. What happened after?”

“I was afraid he would bite his tongue, and I happened to have your sweat towel in my pocket, so I shoved it into his mouth. He calmed down right away,” Luo Qingye said: “Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to use your pheromones to suppress his. It was a complete surprise that they matched. Even with a high pheromone concentration, his pheromones were 100% compatible with yours.”

“His situation was very unique. He was both resistant to suppressants and had a secondary differentiation gene defect. His pheromones were extremely unstable, fluctuating between Alpha and Omega. It took about half a year, with the help of your pheromones, for him to fully stabilize as an Alpha. After that, he stayed close to us.”

Luo Panzhi never expected the start of his relationship with Gu Yuxi was because of his sweat towel: “Then what did he do when he was with you?”

“The application of suppressants had expanded from the ABO community to the animal kingdom, and he was primarily responsible for the legal promotion in that area. Six years ago, the first case he took on was a lawsuit brought by the owner of an Omega puppy that had been stimulated into heat by an Alpha pet store owner, subsequently marked and consumed. The owner hired Yuxi for the case.”

“He must have won, right?” Luo Panzhi asked.

Luo Qingye smiled: “Of course. He’s outstanding.”

“Then what happened?”

“Then?” Luo Qingye raised an eyebrow: “He said he wanted to meet you. You happened to be dealing with a tricky lawsuit, so your Dad and I sent him back to the country to find you.”

Luo Panzhi suddenly flipped over and sat up. He stared at the doorway. Now, he fully understood that Gu Yuxi had intended to approach him from the start. Perhaps initially due to the pheromones, but later… he must have been completely enchanted by him!

Since his wife loves him so much, how could he not cherish him!

Since his wife suffered so much in the past, how could he possibly let him suffer again!

“Big Dad, is pregnancy really that terrifying?” Luo Panzhi was still deeply worried.

Luo Qingye confirmed: “Yes, it’s terrifying. When your Dad gave birth to you and your brother, he experienced a major hemorrhage. My hand was shaking when I signed the critical condition notice.”

Luo Panzhi felt agitated. He pulled at his collar and wiped the sweat from his jaw. So what should he do? This risk is something even doctors can’t guarantee.

“Panzhi, Alpha pregnancy isn’t easy. Can you really take good care of Yuxi?”

Luo Panzhi answered without hesitation: “Of course I can. I will treat Yuxi as well as you treat Dad.” He wished he could just keep Gu Yuxi close to him all the time to prevent him from overexerting himself.

The moment the words left his mouth, he felt his Big Dad punch his bruised arm, making him cry out in pain.

“Then prepare a wedding for him before Yuxi starts showing,” Luo Qingye watched his son wince in pain, then deliberately patted the knee that he had forced to the floor earlier: “Your lover should have everything that others have. It will make him feel more secure. Even an Alpha’s pregnancy is very sensitive.”

Luo Panzhi cried out in pain, but after hearing his Big Dad’s words, he contemplated for a moment: “Yes, Gu Yuxi must have everything that others have.”

“The reason Yuxi wants this child so much is that he wants a family, Panzhi. Treat him well.”

“I will.”

Luo Panzhi quickly stood up and headed out of the boxing room. He didn’t know what his Dad had discussed with Gu Yuxi, but whatever it was, it wouldn’t change his decision.

The moment he pushed the door open, he saw Gu Yuxi standing right in front of him.

Gu Yuxi had just walked out of the nearby study and was greeted by Luo Panzhi emerging from the boxing room. Seeing him drenched in sweat, his fringe messy with sweat beads, and several bruises on his exposed arms, Gu Yuxi couldn’t help but frown.

Luo Panzhi felt a surge of grievances when he saw Gu Yuxi. He threw his arms around him: “Wuwuwuwu, Baby, I’m so miserable! My Big Dad beat me up! Look at my hand, and my knees!” He started pulling up his trousers.

When the trousers were pulled up, both knees were bruised purple.

Gu Yuxi’s eyes flickered, showing a hint of distress.

Luo Qingye stood expressionlessly on the side: “I told you you were weak. Why else would I be able to pin you down and hit you on the floor?”

Luo Panzhi: “?!” He’s calling me weak again?!

“Luo Panzhi.”

Luo Panzhi immediately pulled down his trousers when Gu Yuxi called his full name, and stood straight obediently: “Yes, I’m here.”

“You need to train more.”

Luo Panzhi: “?!!!”

Gu Yuxi smiled: “Otherwise, how will you carry the child?”

Luo Panzhi froze for two seconds, then his eyes suddenly lit up as if he understood. He then saw his Dad, Chu Yiqiao, walk out of the study.

“I have already consulted with the obstetrics doctor at Galaxy Hospital. They suggest trying estrogen injections first to stimulate the anal cavity development. You should also release your pheromones frequently to help raise Yuxi’s pheromone concentration. It will be demanding, but it should be manageable,” Chu Yiqiao explained with a smile: “This is the best outcome, isn’t it?”

Luo Panzhi practically leaped up. He hugged Gu Yuxi again, tears welling up: “So I can really be a father!!”

“Mhm.” Gu Yuxi smiled, quietly wiping the sweat Luo Panzhi had splattered on his face. Seeing Luo Panzhi’s ecstatic look mirrored in his eyes, his heart was also full of joy.

Although it will be difficult, this is the best possible result.

Just as CEO Chu said, Galaxy Group has an excellent medical team. As long as he is determined, Galaxy Group will do everything possible to protect him. He is also very happy to be a part of this family.

So, he could finally have a complete family.

He was very happy.
