Which Fierce Alpha Disguises as a Beta to Abduct a Wife? - Chapter 35

Jiang Huaiyan’s entire body went stiff, and he immediately ceased the release of his pheromones.

Without waiting for permission from the room’s occupants, the people outside pushed open the ward door and hurried inside. The newcomer was Zhou Yunqing’s assistant.

The assistant was a Beta and could not smell the pheromones, but the person he had brought along was an Alpha. As soon as that man entered, he sensed it. “What intense pheromones… it’s the scent of bergamot.”

“Mr. Jiang?” The assistant looked at Jiang Huaiyan with a sharp, piercing gaze.

Jiang Huaiyan raised a finger to his lips, making a shushing sound. “He just fell asleep. Don’t wake him.”

“Whose pheromones are these?” the assistant asked in a low voice.

“A friend’s. He just left.”

“Which friend?” the assistant pressed.

“You’d have to ask Duan Mingxu for that. He found him for me. By the time I waited for you to find someone, who knows how much more the Little Young Master would have suffered.”

Assistant: “…”

“In that case, do you still need the pheromones from an Alpha like me?” the Alpha beside the assistant asked, sounding slightly disappointed.

“No need,” Jiang Huaiyan replied, a faint trace of coldness in his voice.

The assistant approached Zhou Yunqiu’s side and carefully inspected his face. Once he confirmed that Zhou Yunqiu had received sufficient Alpha pheromones, he turned and left.

After seeing them off, Jiang Huaiyan closed the ward door and locked it. Now, no one could simply push their way in. He lay down beside Zhou Yunqiu, carefully gathering him into his arms, not at all worried that Duan Mingxu would let the secret slip. For a minor matter like this, Duan Mingxu could easily cover for him.

That night, after receiving an ample supply of Alpha pheromones, the pheromones within Zhou Yunqiu’s body entered an exceptionally stable state. The injury on his leg healed rapidly, and he was discharged within a few days.

Back at the villa, Jiang Huaiyan took full responsibility for his daily care and meals. In just half a month, Zhou Yunqiu gained five pounds.

Five pounds of meat—if you held that much in your hands, wouldn’t it be heavy? Zhou Yunqiu couldn’t stand it and began clamoring to go on a diet.

Jiang Huaiyan reached out and pinched the boy’s cheek. “No need for a diet. You’re cute with a bit of weight.”

“How is this cute? It’s clearly affecting my looks.”

“It isn’t. Trust me, you look very good. You feel great to the touch, too.”

Zhou Yunqiu rolled his eyes at him. “If it’s ‘feel’ you’re after, I have places that feel even better, but you refuse to touch them.”

Jiang Huaiyan: “…”

“Am I wrong? Who has been stringing me along for half a month?” The more Zhou Yunqiu thought about it, the angrier he got. He pounced, pinning Jiang Huaiyan down. “What do you mean by this? You promised me before, and now you keep refusing—what kind of game are you playing?”

“Little Young Master, your leg hasn’t fully healed yet.”

“I injured my leg, not ‘other’ places.” Zhou Yunqiu sat on Jiang Huaiyan’s lap with a sulky expression, shifting restlessly. “Besides, I’m practically fully recovered.”

“It might be very painful.”

“A little bit of pain can stop this Young Master?”

Jiang Huaiyan: “…”

“Come on, I’m already prepared.” As he spoke, Zhou Yunqiu cupped Jiang Huaiyan’s face and began kissing him without waiting for consent.

The inexperienced, green kiss made Jiang Huaiyan’s heart race uncontrollably. Lately, he found it harder and harder to restrain his own actions. His body was instinctively attracted to Zhou Yunqiu; every time he snapped back to reality, Zhou Yunqiu’s waist had already gone soft from his kisses.

This time was no exception. The sofa cushions sank as the temperature in the room climbed steadily. Jiang Huaiyan felt his pheromones on the verge of breaking through his control. Just as he was about to call for a stop, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Zhou Yunqiu froze for a moment but decided to ignore it, continuing to tug at Jiang Huaiyan’s collar.

“Someone’s here.” Jiang Huaiyan caught his hands.

“Ignore them.” No sooner had Zhou Yunqiu spoken than the doorbell rang again.

“It might be an emergency. I’ll go open the door.”

“You aren’t allowed to go!” Zhou Yunqiu didn’t want to let this chance slip away.

Unfortunately, Jiang Huaiyan was unwilling to continue. He insisted on getting up, straightening his messy shirt before opening the door. Standing outside was none other than Yu Shaoqin.

“What are you doing? It took you so long to open the door.” Yu Shaoqin pushed past Jiang Huaiyan, carrying several bags as he made himself at home.

Seeing Zhou Yunqiu sitting on the sofa with a resentful gaze, he felt a bit puzzled. “What’s with that look? Does someone owe you money?”

“You do!” Zhou Yunqiu glared at him.

Yu Shaoqin was baffled. “Me? Since when do I owe you money?”

“What are you doing here at a time like this? You’re interrupting my ‘good business’!”

Jiang Huaiyan’s heart skipped a beat, and he slipped into the kitchen to wash some fruit for them.

Yu Shaoqin’s head was full of question marks. “What on earth are you talking about?”

“Find an Alpha and you’ll understand.” Zhou Yunqiu was speechless. His lips were swollen, yet Yu Shaoqin actually hadn’t noticed.

“I actually came here today for that very reason!” Yu Shaoqin grabbed Zhou Yunqiu’s hand with an excited expression. “Qiuqiu, you have to help me this time.”

“Help with what?” Zhou Yunqiu asked, his interest lacking. His eyes drifted toward the kitchen every few seconds.

“Your brother is being pursued by an Alpha,” Yu Shaoqin said, his words striking like a thunderbolt.

“What?” Zhou Yunqiu thought he had misheard. His brother was an Alpha; how could he be pursued by an Alpha?

“Your brother is being pursued by an Alpha!” Yu Shaoqin repeated. “It’s true! It’s been a huge sensation lately. Don’t you know?”

“I don’t. What Alpha dares to set their sights on my brother!” Anger rose in Zhou Yunqiu’s heart, his temper flaring.

“The young master of the Duan family, Duan Mingxu.”

Zhou Yunqiu: “What the hell?”

Duan Mingxu? How was that possible?

“I didn’t expect it either, but he really is pursuing your brother. It’s a huge spectacle; roses are literally filling the lobby of the Zhou Group.” Yu Shaoqin spoke with a mournful face. “Qiuqiu, you really have to help me this time.”

Before Zhou Yunqiu could even process the shock, Yu Shaoqin continued, “Can you help me ask your brother what kind of Omegas he likes? Would someone like me be okay?”

Zhou Yunqiu was too stunned to speak. His childhood best friend actually wanted to be his sister-in-law??? Had he been struck by lightning? To hear two such ridiculous pieces of news in a row…

“Qiuqiu? Are you stupid? Did you hear what I said?”

“I said, I like your brother. Can you ask him if he likes me? If he does, we can just get married. That way, he won’t be harassed by that Alpha anymore.”

Zhou Yunqiu: “…” This world is truly magical.

“Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu? Zhou Yunqiu!”

Zhou Yunqiu cupped Yu Shaoqin’s cute, round face. “Baby, do you have a fever (fāshāo)?”

Yu Shaoqin thought he was asking if he was “feeling horny” (fāshāo), and his face turned red with embarrassment. “I… I do not!”

“Don’t misunderstand, I’m asking if you have a temperature, not if you’re in heat.”

Yu Shaoqin: “…”

“Otherwise, why would you want to marry my brother?”

“I just do!”

“When did this start?”

“I don’t know…”

“Be good and listen to me. Stop liking him. Liking him has no future.” His brother was a confirmed bachelor! Anyone who liked him was doomed.

“Why?” Yu Shaoqin’s eyes grew red.

“He doesn’t believe in marriage.”

“Then what about his rut?”

“He relies on medication. Have you forgotten what he does?” His brother used to love researching all sorts of strange drugs; only after officially taking over the Zhou Group did he switch to researching new medicines for the benefit of humanity.

Yu Shaoqin was heartbroken. “Just ask for me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to give up.”

“Alright, I’ll ask.” Zhou Yunqiu pulled out his phone and dialed Zhou Yunqing’s number. “Brother, do you want an Omega?”
