Which Fierce Alpha Disguises as a Beta to Abduct a Wife? - Chapter 31

Jiang Huaiyan was worried that Zhou Yunqiu would get truly upset, so he had no choice but to let go and allow the boy to have his way.

Having successfully kissed him, Zhou Yunqiu’s mood turned wonderful, and he unconsciously released a bit of his pheromones. Receiving those joyful pheromones, Jiang Huaiyan’s own mood uncontrollably brightened as well; he simply lay there and let Zhou Yunqiu fuss over him.

Although Zhou Yunqiu clamored every day about “sleeping with him,” his technique wasn’t particularly good. By the time the kiss was over, he was panting for breath and had even left two small wounds on the corner of Jiang Huaiyan’s lips.

He panted with dissatisfaction. “Move a little, will you? I feel like I’m kissing a dead fish.”

“And yet you could still stomach it?”

“I’ve accepted my fate. Even if you are a dead fish, I’m going to devour every last bit of you.”

“Little scoundrel.”

“What did you say?” Zhou Yunqiu didn’t hear him clearly.

“Little genius,” Jiang Huaiyan praised him instead.

“You got that right.” Zhou Yunqiu hummed in satisfaction and lay down obediently beside him. After all that commotion, he was finally sleepy.

“Sleep. Goodnight,” Jiang Huaiyan whispered.

“Hold me,” Zhou Yunqiu commanded.

Jiang Huaiyan turned on his side and gathered the boy into his arms.

“Goodnight.” Zhou Yunqiu soon drifted off to dreamland.

Jiang Huaiyan nuzzled the top of the boy’s head and closed his eyes to sleep as well. Cherish the present; do not think of the future.

The Next Day.

When Zhou Yunqiu woke up, Jiang Huaiyan had already prepared breakfast. After washing up and heading downstairs, he sat obediently at the dining table. Jiang Huaiyan brought the food out and placed it before him.

He looked up happily, only to be startled by the vivid wounds on Jiang Huaiyan’s thin lips. He covered his mouth and asked in shock, “Did… did I bite those?”

“What do you think?” Jiang Huaiyan gave him a helpless look. He hadn’t felt much while sleeping last night, but upon waking up this morning, he realized they had scabbed over and were quite prominent.

“I’m sorry…” Zhou Yunqiu apologized guiltily. The location of those wounds would be extremely easy to provoke gossip from outsiders.

“Hurry up and eat. I’ll take you to school afterward.”

“But what about your mouth?”

“It’s fine. It’ll heal quickly.”

Zhou Yunqiu hesitated. “…Maybe I should go to school by myself? You stay home and let the wounds heal.”

“No. Don’t worry about it, just eat.”

Zhou Yunqiu pouted. “Fine, whatever. It’s not my reputation on the line anyway.”

As it turned out, the moment they finished breakfast and stepped out the door, they were blocked.

Fang Yanting watched the two of them come out together. When he saw the wounds on the corner of Jiang Huaiyan’s mouth, his features twisted in a hideous rage. “You’re living together? And you’ve… you’ve committed such adultery?”

Jiang Huaiyan moved to shield Zhou Yunqiu behind him, his cold gaze fixed on Fang Yanting. “Young Master Fang, watch your tone.”

“You’re sleeping together and you want me to watch my tone?” Fang Yanting trembled with rage, pointing at Jiang Huaiyan and screaming abuse. “What kind of thing are you, daring to touch my person? Believe it or not, I’ll—”

Zhou Yunqiu interrupted him. “Fang Yanting, did you get your head caught in a door and lose your memory? Who is ‘your person’? Our engagement has been cancelled. Now, whoever I see is none of your business.”

“Qiuqiu, have you been bewitched by him? He isn’t an Alpha; he can’t give you happiness.”

“I’m the one who decides whether I’m happy or not. No matter why you came looking for me today, I won’t agree. There is absolutely no chance left for us.”

Hearing Zhou Yunqiu’s decisive words, Fang Yanting still suspected Jiang Huaiyan was behind it. “Is it because of him? You cancelled the engagement because of him, didn’t you?”

“It’s because I don’t like you. It’s that simple.” Zhou Yunqiu grabbed Jiang Huaiyan’s wrist to walk away.

Fang Yanting wouldn’t let them, blocking their path. “Don’t be in such a hurry. Can’t we talk? Qiuqiu, give me a little time. Everything before was a misunderstanding, I can explain it all to you.”

“Fang Yanting, I said I don’t like you. Your Fang family is a respectable name; there’s no need to make things this ugly.”

“You were the one who made it ugly first.”

“Did I force you to go looking for other Omegas?”

Fang Yanting was left speechless by Zhou Yunqiu’s retort, but he still tried to pester him for forgiveness. Jiang Huaiyan blocked his line of sight. “Young Master Fang, you are already causing a disturbance to my employer. If you continue this harassment, I will not be polite with you.”

“You’re just a lapdog. Do you really think you’re so capable?”

Before Jiang Huaiyan could even move, Zhou Yunqiu, enraged, gave Fang Yanting a resounding slap across the face. “You’re the lapdog! Who gave you the nerve to insult my person? I only gave you respect before for the sake of the Fang family. Without them, who would respect a man who can’t keep his pants on? You aren’t afraid of your ‘equipment’ rotting off?”

Fang Yanting was stunned by the slap. By the time he regained his senses, Zhou Yunqiu had already been hoisted up and carried off by Jiang Huaiyan.

Zhou Yunqiu still wasn’t satisfied. Hanging upside down over Jiang Huaiyan’s shoulder, he pointed at Fang Yanting and cursed, “Don’t let me see you again! I’ll hit you every time I see you, you total idiot…”

Listening to the insults, Fang Yanting nearly went mad on the spot. But he held back. He had come today to give Zhou Yunqiu a chance. Since he didn’t want it, then don’t blame him for being ruthless!

In the afternoon, after classes ended, Zhou Yunqiu asked Jiang Huaiyan to drive him to his brother’s research lab. He needed to talk to his brother about his future.

However, the lab was a high-security facility; outsiders were not allowed entry. Jiang Huaiyan could only drop him at the entrance.

“You go back first. Don’t wait for me. I’ll have my brother send me back later.”

“Mm.”

“Don’t miss me too much!” Zhou Yunqiu blew him a kiss and entered the lab after his iris was scanned.

He moved through the facility without hindrance and soon found Zhou Yunqing in the middle of his research.

“Brother, how is the research going?” Zhou Yunqiu asked curiously.

“We just made a breakthrough!” Zhou Yunqing’s voice was thick with excitement.

“Really? That’s wonderful!” Zhou Yunqiu was excited as well. This research had the potential to change human genetics. If successful, humans of the future could freely choose their gender rather than relying solely on their initial differentiation.

Looking at the massive string of experimental data, he asked his brother, “If it succeeds, would you want to become an Omega or a Beta?”

“An Alpha.”

“But you’re already an Alpha.”

Zhou Yunqing’s hand holding a vessel paused slightly. “I want to become a more powerful Alpha.”

“That sounds exhausting. Though, I’d like to be an Alpha too.” Zhou Yunqiu rested his chin on his hand expectantly. “That way, I wouldn’t need your protection. I could be the one you lean on instead.”

Zhou Yunqing looked up at him. “I don’t need your protection. I only want you to be happy.”

“Protecting you would make me happy too!” Not only could he protect his brother, but he could also “take down” a Beta like Jiang Huaiyan.

The formidable strength of an Alpha was something he didn’t dare dream of. He was both expectant and afraid. Two years ago, he had nearly lost his life because he was injured by an Alpha’s pheromones. Now, he had to rely on an Alpha to keep himself alive.

“Qiuqiu has grown up. I’m very happy,” Zhou Yunqing said with a sincere smile.

“Brother, I’ll be good and try to cause as little trouble as possible.”

“Just have some common sense. Come on, I’m about done here. Let’s go eat.”

Zhou Yunqiu followed Zhou Yunqing out to change clothes. As they sat in the car, they began discussing the future. Zhou Yunqiu wanted to continue his studies and eventually enter his brother’s lab to help him. But Zhou Yunqing didn’t want him to work so hard; he only wanted his brother to be healthy and happy for the rest of his life.

Leaning against Zhou Yunqing’s shoulder, Zhou Yunqiu was deeply moved.

Just as the two were enjoying this moment of warmth, a piercingly bright light suddenly beamed toward them.

Zhou Yunqing’s pupils constricted. He desperately pulled Zhou Yunqiu’s head into his embrace.

With a thunderous BANG, the car was sent flying ten meters away.
