Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 19

Shen Qing possessed strong executive skills. Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Shijun had not yet returned, he went nearby to buy concealer and began using it on the spot.

His main goal was to cover the back of his neck, so he focused only on that area.

Once he had covered the part most likely to be exposed, he finally thought of reading the check-up report. He had already accepted the fact that he had sub-gendered into an Omega, but when he saw the results on the report, they clearly exceeded his expectations.

Shen Qing’s pupils shrank, and his face changed drastically.

“Inferior Omega.”

“Pheromone levels are below normal grades. Unable to reach a heat cycle unless influenced by external interference.”

An inferior Omega was not exactly news, but what shocked him was that this check-up report was identical to the one in his dream from the previous night!

As the dream merged with reality, Shen Qing’s pupils trembled. In that case, regarding the things between him and Lu Shijun, would they also.

Shen Qing did not dare to think further. He gripped the report, his knuckles tightening. After a long time, he suppressed the helplessness and panic in his heart and disposed of the report.

To his surprise, however, there was actually a white peach in the bag along with the report.

His phone vibrated. Shen Qing opened it to see a message from the young man he had met earlier. The other party had already accepted his digital red envelope and replied with a playful emoji.

“Thank you for the red envelope, Mr. Shen.”

Shen Qing desperately needed something to distract himself. This student of Lin Zhixue was sunny, cheerful, and very enthusiastic, much like a Golden Retriever.

“Did you give me the white peach?”

The other party admitted it frankly, stating, “When I came out, I saw white peaches for sale outside. I thought you would like them, so I took the liberty of giving one to you. If you do not like it, Mr. Shen, just throw it away.”

Shen Qing’s report had shown his pheromones. The youth giving him a white peach was a thoughtful gesture. Furthermore, as an Omega who tested as an inferior grade, the other party probably wanted to offer some comfort.

Shen Qing did not actually care about these grades. On the contrary, being an inferior Omega made him feel relieved; at least it would not be that difficult to maintain his disguise.

Nevertheless, he still thanked the young man.

He was so focused on sending the message that he did not notice the person walking toward him until he bumped into the man’s chest. Startled, he immediately apologized.

“I am sorry.”

Just as the words left his mouth, he heard a low, light chuckle from above.

“Who is Assistant Shen chatting with so intently that he does not even look where he is going?” As he spoke, the man naturally took the phone away, giving Shen Qing no chance to react.

Shen Qing’s heart hammered against his ribs. He instinctively wanted to grab the phone back.

He was afraid the youth on WeChat would say something slipshod, afraid his secret would be exposed to Lu Shijun, and even more afraid of the look of disgust on Lu Shijun’s face. But as soon as he reached out, Lu Shijun forcefully and overbearingly pulled him into his arms, leaving him no opportunity to snatch it.

“What is wrong? What secret is hidden in your phone? Even I am not allowed to see it?”

In their past relationship, let alone looking at each other’s phones, they had never even hidden their bank card passwords from one another. Now, Shen Qing’s changes were becoming more and more obvious. A smile played on Lu Shijun’s lips, yet his gaze grew increasingly cold.

Especially after he saw the chat content.

“White peach?”

His heavy gaze was like rain-laden clouds, and his tone was terrifyingly low.

“And this person, who is he?”

In late autumn, the cold wind was chilly, but Shen Qing found himself breaking into a thin layer of sweat under the questioning. He licked his dry lips. Unable to say this was Lin Zhixue’s student, he could only say vaguely, “A friend.”

“A friend?” Lu Shijun laughed. The anger swirling in his eyes was terrifying and eerie, carrying a hint of uncontrollable madness. He spoke through gritted teeth, “Since when did Assistant Shen have a friend I do not know?”

He had not even finished dealing with Lin Zhixue, and now another friend had popped up!

Lu Shijun clenched his jaw. His beloved friend was being coveted and snatched away. His rage had no outlet, yet Shen Qing did not think there was anything wrong with his own actions at all.

It was truly infuriating!

Shen Qing was driven back by his questioning. With his waist encircled, he was unable to escape and could only bite the bullet. “Just an ordinary friend. We have not known each other for long.”

“You have not known each other for long, yet he already knows to give you white peaches?”

Even Lu Shijun himself had only found out last night that Shen Qing suddenly liked white peaches. So, how did this piece of trash, who appeared out of nowhere and had a death wish, know to give him a white peach so accurately?

Lu Shijun thought back to their university days, to those people who had constantly tried to make their presence known in front of Shen Qing. A terrifying hostility rose in his eyes, while the smile on his lips grew deeper.

“I am so heartbroken. We used to tell each other everything, yet now Assistant Shen is hiding so many secrets from me.”

“Why refuse to tell me?”

The aggrieved words were meant to confuse the other party. In the past, his friend fell for this tactic every time. He never expected that this move of showing weakness would fail in front of Shen Qing.

“President Lu, he is just an ordinary friend. No, he does not even count as a friend; we just know each other.” Shen Qing did fall for the act, so he explained seriously, “We are together every day. How could I have so many secrets? They are just small matters I was too lazy to mention.”

Liar!

The pressure in Lu Shijun’s eyes became more and more suffocating. As he stared at Shen Qing, he wanted nothing more than to tie him up.

Why refuse to tell the truth?

Why lie?

Did he want to clear the air and just be ordinary friends from now on?

As soon as Lu Shijun thought of this possibility, his violent aura became so dense it was uncontrollable. Soon, the pheromone bracelet on his wrist began to sound an alarm.

Shen Qing was startled, not understanding how the man could suddenly lose control. Recalling that night not long ago, his fingertips could not help but tremble slightly.

“Lu Shijun, what is wrong with you?”

“Where is the suppressant? Where is your suppressant?”

Lu Shijun’s tall frame leaned heavily against Shen Qing’s thin back. In his panic, Shen Qing did not notice that the man was using his phone to delete and block the contact, disposing of that eyesore in one go.

“I do not know. I feel so awful. I just went to the hospital.”

“Qingqing, I know you already know.”

“Why refuse to tell me?”

“Are you going to abandon me too?”

Shen Qing grew even more flustered, supporting him for fear he would fall to the ground. “Was it the stimulation from other pheromones at the hospital? Let us go back to the office first. There are suppressants in the office. Lu Shijun, hang in there.”

At this moment, if Shen Qing had looked up, he would have seen that there was nothing wrong with this top Alpha’s eyes. Those dark, deep pupils were incredibly clear, aside from the accumulated anger.

Indeed, as early as half a month ago, Lu Shijun had discovered that the pheromone bracelet was useless for him. While other Alphas were still being interfered with by pheromones, he had already begun to master them to a small degree.

For example, right now, under the sharp sound of the alarm, aside from his blood boiling slightly and a bit of mental excitement, he was in a state of complete sobriety.
