Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 35

Shen Qing thought that by covering the Alpha’s mouth, he could finally make him stop.

As it turned out, even with his mouth covered, the Alpha could still extend the tip of his crimson tongue and brazenly lick his palm.

Shen Qing was petrified on the spot. He stiffly withdrew his hand inch by inch, staring at his damp palm. He looked up at the Alpha across from him, who was wearing a brilliant smile, and felt a surge of conflicting urges: he wanted to slap him, yet he feared the man would simply lick his hand again.

“Lu Shijun!” He took a deep breath, speaking through gritted teeth. “Do not force me to slap you in the office!”

What kind of secret admirer acted like this?

He was exasperated, a hint of anger flaring in his cold brows, which dyed his beautiful face with a different color.

The feeling was as if the high and mighty moon had been dragged down by him, all of its emotions stirred solely because of him.

Lu Shijun excitedly tilted his face forward.

Shen Qing was out of options.

With a wooden expression, he reached out his hand. He did not slap him; instead, he somewhat roughly grabbed the man’s tie. Then, under the expectant gaze of the other, he wiped all the moisture from his palm onto the tie.

Soon, the originally meticulous tie was pulled loose and messy, becoming wrinkled further down, losing every bit of its initial elegance and nobility.

Not only was Lu Shijun not angry, but he also felt that this state of affairs was incredibly rare.

This was the first time Shen Qing had treated him this way, and the feeling was wonderful.

“Xiao Qing, are you finished wiping?”

“Once you are finished, we can go eat.”

In his reckless manner, he rested his hand on Shen Qing’s shoulder once more, completely disregarding his own disheveled appearance.

Shen Qing exhaled. Looking at the mess of a tie and then at that face, he realized if the owner did not care, why should he worry!

Inside the VIP private room, even the President of Longqi Group had arrived.

Compared to Lu Shijun, their President was much older, appearing to be in his forties. He was well-maintained, with a balanced physique and a full head of hair.

He first greeted Lu Shijun warmly, then did not forget to extend his hand toward Shen Qing, intending to shake hands.

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment. In public, he was merely a minor assistant; his position was not high enough to warrant the President himself initiating a greeting.

However, he quickly realized what was happening. Last time, the person in charge at Longqi had praised him and Lu Shijun to the heavens. This President likely knew their relationship was far from ordinary.

He suppressed the helplessness in his heart, but just as his hand was halfway extended, Lu Shijun intercepted it.

He held the Longqi President’s hand with one of his and Shen Qing’s hand with the other, joining them together with a beaming smile.

Seeing them both looking at him, he acted as if he were entirely oblivious. “What is wrong? Am I not allowed to hold hands?”

The Longqi President immediately burst into laughter. “Of course you can! I have long heard that President Lu and Assistant Shen are deeply in love. Seeing you today, it is indeed true.”

When the phrase deeply in love was mentioned, the corner of Shen Qing’s mouth twitched violently. Yet, aside from him, everyone present felt the term was perfectly appropriate.

Lu Shijun accepted it readily, curling his lips in agreement. “That is indeed the case.”

Shen Qing was speechless.

He could not explain it; there was simply no way to explain it!

The rest of the dinner proceeded much like any other, except for the occasional insertion of several inconceivable idioms.

From a match made in heaven to everlasting love, Shen Qing could not bear to listen any longer. He feared they would eventually hit him with a hundred years of harmony.

He made an excuse to leave the table. During this, Lu Shijun tried to follow him. His head throbbed. “President Lu, I will be back very soon.”

Lu Shijun still wanted to say something.

Shen Qing could only lower his voice. “President Zhou of Longqi Group is still here. You have to stay and accompany him.”

Lu Shijun had simply stood up out of instinct the moment he saw Shen Qing rise, without even thinking. Now that he was stopped by Shen Qing, he was a little unhappy.

“Then I am sleeping at your house tonight.”

Shen Qing replied, “Fine.”

As soon as he left, President Zhou could not help but tease, “President Lu and Assistant Shen, when will you be sending out the invitations?”

Lu Shijun was baffled. “What invitations?”

President Zhou asked, “Are you two not dating?”

Lu Shijun looked down on romance the most. Hearing this, he scoffed, “Dating? Why would anyone do that? Dating is for dogs.”

President Zhou’s face was full of question marks.

Was it because he was old and did not understand the romance of young people?

What was the difference between what they were doing and dating?

Could it be that Lu Shijun did not want to take responsibility?

That made sense. He had heard that Assistant Shen’s family was only middle class; from the perspective of family background, the gap was too large.

President Zhou could not help but sigh. He had heard rumors that the two were inseparable, but now it seemed it was only so-so.

Outside the private room.

Finally free from those flattering people, Shen Qing’s pace lightened considerably.

“Junior Shen?”

A familiar voice came from behind. Shen Qing turned around. “Senior Lin?”

He was full of surprise. Two months had passed since the last incident, and the two had not been in contact during that time.

Shen Qing felt guilty toward him but did not dare initiate contact, fearing Lu Shijun would lose his mind again. This accidental encounter led him to look directly at the man’s hand. “Is your hand alright?”

Lin Zhixue smiled and shook his head. His face showed no signs of being dispirited; he was still as elegant and gentle as ever. “It is fine. It only looked scary, but it has completely recovered now.”

As he spoke, he even moved his hand in front of Shen Qing.

“I am sorry. What happened last time was because of me.” Shen Qing had thought about compensation but never had the chance. “Senior Lin, let us scan a code.”

That overbearing fellow, Lu Shijun, had not only blocked Lin Zhixue’s students last time but had also blocked Lin Zhixue himself.

Lin Zhixue took out his phone with a smile. “Are you not afraid that person will find out and cause trouble for you?”

Shen Qing was not someone who viewed the world through rose-colored glasses. He knew what kind of person Lu Shijun was and did not argue. He simply said seriously, “I am not adding you to chat; I am sending a transfer.”

Words of concern were not as good as a large sum of money.

Hearing this, Lin Zhixue directly locked his screen and sighed. He said gently, “Junior Shen, there is truly no need. What happened between President Lu and me has nothing to do with you.”

Shen Qing argued, “It started because of me. How can you say it has nothing to do with me?”

“You were the patient, and I was the doctor. One of my duties is to maintain patient privacy,” Lin Zhixue added. “Speaking of which, did you ever go back to the hospital for a checkup?”

Shen Qing shook his head.

Lin Zhixue looked at Shen Qing’s hand, which was only wearing a watch, and suggested from a professional standpoint, “Your situation is quite special. Because your pheromone levels are too low, it is impossible to analyze when your next heat period will arrive. I personally suggest you purchase an Omega bracelet.”

Lin Zhixue was one of the few people who knew his situation. In front of him, Shen Qing was not as tense. “I will go buy one when I have time.”

Lin Zhixue replied, “There is no need to wait. I have already applied for one on your behalf. An Omega bracelet requires a doctor’s certification. Now, hold out your hand.”

Shen Qing was stunned.

Lin Zhixue considerately handed it over. “There is no need for money. If we have the chance to meet again, you can treat me to a meal.” After saying that, he did not linger. Instead, he waved at him and left.

He walked away very freely, appearing to have no lingering attachments. However, the moment he stepped into a certain private room, the smile on his face vanished completely.

His expression turned icy, and his gaze became gloomy.

“Teacher, did you give the bracelet away?”

In the large private room, aside from Lin Zhixue, there was another person: his student, Song Guixing.

Compared to him, Song Guixing had a somewhat youthful, boyish face. Seeing the other man nod, he tilted his head in confusion and said with an innocent look, “Teacher, since it was given away, why do you still look so unhappy?”

Lin Zhixue knew full well how dangerous Lu Shijun was, but.

His face darkened as he threatened, “The bracelet you provided had better be useful. Otherwise, I will not sign off on your residency this year.”
