Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 22

Lu Shijun was exasperated, yet in front of him, Shen Qing remained quiet without the slightest intention of explaining.

Actually, that was not true; he had offered an explanation.

He said he was an adult.

Lu Shijun began to laugh, his eyes bloodshot. “Is it Lin Zhixue?”

He was going to kill him.

Seeing the murderous intent exploding from the man as he turned to leave, Shen Qing was startled.

“It is not him.” He did not want to drag an innocent person into this. “It is, it is someone you do not know.”

Flustered and with nowhere to turn, he resorted to a frantic lie, not caring whether Lu Shijun believed him or not.

Lu Shijun stopped in his tracks. He turned his face slightly, the veins at his temples throbbing. Violent emotions made it impossible for him to think straight. He guessed that Shen Qing was not telling the truth, and the reason for his silence was simple: he was protecting the other person!

Jealousy and rage were incinerating his sanity.

“When did it happen?”

“The location.”

“The time.”

“With whom!”

Under the sharp interrogation, Shen Qing was left defenseless. He retreated repeatedly, watching the bloodshot color in the man’s eyes nearly overflow. He tightly gripped the suppressant patch in his hand, determined not to let his final secret be exposed.

“I am not, not close to him,” Shen Qing spoke dryly. “I was drunk.”

Lu Shijun’s gaze grew colder by the second, and the fire in his chest burned beyond his control. He grabbed Shen Qing’s hand. This time, Shen Qing did not even need to cover his lie; Lu Shijun began to reminisce on his own.

“Two days before the Lu Corporation banquet, there was a dinner party. You said you were feeling unwell and did not go with me. Was it that night?”

“No wonder you suddenly drank champagne during the banquet.”

It also explained why he suddenly liked white peaches. All the puzzles had answers now, but Lu Shijun simply could not accept it.

It was not that he felt Shen Qing had betrayed him. Qingqing was so good; how could he be at fault? The fault lay entirely with those pieces of trash outside. They were the ones who dared to seduce him; they were the ones trying to steal his person.

It was they who deserved to die!

Shen Qing’s wrist was gripped so hard it hurt. He frowned but did not dare to struggle, fearing this out of control Alpha would truly go mad. He had intended to soothe him, but in the next second, the man suddenly released his hand and instead grabbed his waist.

“Assistant Shen,” he spoke icily, “how did the other person do it?”

Shen Qing’s pupils shrank.

Lu Shijun flipped him onto the nearby bed. In a compromising position, he looked down from above and began his interrogation. “Assistant Shen, if you do not speak, I can only figure it out myself.”

Shen Qing suddenly gripped the quilt on the bed. He was in disbelief. His eyes, which usually held the clarity of cold moonlight, now looked like a shattered mirror, no longer calm, but full of panic.

“Lu Shijun, you are crazy.”

“Do you not find it disgusting?”

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Lu Shijun’s head.

Shen Qing quickly noticed the shift in his emotions. He closed his eyes weakly. “Lu Shijun, have you forgotten what happened between you and an Omega a few days ago? Do you think you can accept this kind of thing?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shijun’s face turned ashen, followed quickly by a look of deep revulsion in his eyes.

He could feel his pheromones longing for something; the restlessness in his blood made him desperate for comfort. However, the mere thought of that unknown Omega caused waves of discomfort. Even though he did not even know what the person looked like, he felt inexplicably nauseous.

Lu Shijun’s reaction truly hurt Shen Qing.

A tiny test had elicited such a disgusted response.

Shen Qing stopped struggling altogether and lay quietly on the bed, staring at the man. “Lu Shijun, why force yourself? I am just a close friend to you, not.”

Shen Qing could not bring himself to say the last few words. However, as if to prevent such a situation from happening again, he took out his phone and directly accessed certain restricted websites.

With maximum speed, he pulled up some videos for Lu Shijun to watch.

Meanwhile, Lu Shijun was torn by internal conflict. On one hand, he was repulsed by the Omega from a few days ago; on the other, he could not bear to let go of Shen Qing. Subconsciously, he felt Shen Qing was different. Before he could resolve these contradictions, Shen Qing dropped a bombshell.

Faced with the sudden imagery and the blushing sounds, Lu Shijun felt nauseated on the spot.

He abruptly released his hold on Shen Qing. His mind instantly recalled the filthy and disgusting things he had seen during his youth. Lu Shijun’s face paled, and he rushed to the toilet to vomit.

Shen Qing lay on the bed, blinking in embarrassment.

After a long time, he slowly climbed up. The sound of vomiting in the bathroom had stopped, but he still poured a glass of water and brought it over.

“President Lu, please rinse your mouth.”

Lu Shijun was rarely so disheveled. His black hair, usually styled meticulously, hung in a mess. He was in a state of total defensiveness. When Shen Qing first entered, he nearly struck out; it was only the familiar scent that slowly calmed the revulsion in his heart.

His emotions were currently a mess, so he did not immediately take the glass when Shen Qing handed it to him.

Seeing this, Shen Qing lowered his eyes. “I understand. President Lu needs peace. I will go out first.”

He placed the glass by the man’s hand and was about to retreat when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Lu Shijun hurriedly gripped his hand. His handsome face looked as if he had been abandoned, wearing a piteous and aggrieved expression.

“Qingqing, are you going to abandon me too?”

Shen Qing paused. He had thought that once the truth was exposed, Lu Shijun would loathe him just as he loathed everyone else.

“No.”

“I have said it many times: unless you give up first.”

Fearing that Shen Qing would be disgusted by him, Lu Shijun held onto him with one hand to prevent him from running, while using the other to quickly rinse his mouth. Once he was sure there was no lingering aftertaste, he hugged the man piteously.

“Qingqing, do not leave.”

“I only have you left now.”

“I lost control just now. I apologize.”

Unlike other Alphas, Lu Shijun was never arrogant or conceited in front of Shen Qing. He was like a docile hound, dangerous in appearance, but providing a great sense of security. He was also very skilled at exploiting Shen Qing’s softheartedness. Ever since discovering that Shen Qing responded to kindness rather than force, he would often act obedient or play the victim.

For example, right now, his mind was entirely occupied with how to find that damn trash and tear him into a thousand pieces. On the surface, however, he looked so aggrieved it seemed he might burst into tears at any moment.

He buried his head in the crook of Shen Qing’s neck, inhaling the faint, delicate fragrance. Even the nausea that had surfaced moments ago vanished completely.

Shen Qing was most unable to withstand this behavior. Having a man so handsome pounce on him like a big dog and act spoiled was difficult to resist. He had tried many times to harden his heart and keep his distance, but after such a display, he would always soften.

He let out a sigh, feeling somewhat helpless.

“I am not leaving.”

Their relationship seemed to have returned to its original state.

He did not know, however, that on Lu Shijun’s side, the world had been turned upside down.
