Shen Dai said with a heavy voice, “Okay, I’ll listen to your arrangements.”

Qu Moyu nodded with satisfaction, “Have you had dinner?”

“Not yet.”

“Then leave after dinner. Tell Uncle Heng about your tastes.”

“Yes, thank you, President Qu.”

Qu Moyu stood up and a faint and fleeting fragrance intruded Shen Dai’s nostrils. The calm, dry, slightly astringent thick wooden fragrance gave people a strong sense of strength. This was Qu Moyu’s ebony pheromone, which was very consistent with his aura.

Shen Dai’s profound memories were recalled by this scent.

Three years ago, he was drugged by a shixiong that competed with him for a place in the talent plan. It ended up inducing his heat. The inhibitor he carried with him completely failed. He struggled painfully in the laboratory, being tortured to the point that his reasoning was almost exhausted. He wanted to catch any alpha he could and relieve the primitive impulse in his body. His pheromones are the scent of epiphyllums, so his body also has some characteristics of epiphyllums. For example, a normal omega goes through heats four times a year, lasting an average of seven days, while his only comes one or two times a year, lasting three or four days. Usually, his pheromone scent is very faint. After putting the pheromone sticker on his gland, it becomes so faint that he is often mistaken as a beta. However, once he gets his heat, his pheromone concentration is several times higher than that of ordinary omega. The dosage of inhibitors he uses is also higher than that of ordinary people. After being drugged, it came too fiercely and he couldn’t control it at all.

At that time, he felt that he was done for. He went into heat in a public place, on top of that, it was the laboratory where he worked. His body, his future, his reputation, his dignity, and everything will be destroyed. The fragrant smell of epiphyllum infected half of the research institute. Several alphas were on the verge of losing control. If it wasn’t for the obstruction of several beta colleagues, they would’ve rushed in immediately. At that time, Qu Moyu just happened to be inspecting research institutes under the company. The 21-year-old heir had just returned from a top university abroad and officially entered the company to hone his skills. Only the S-level alpha, who has received severe pheromone control training since childhood, can resist the temptation of the omega in heat.

When Qu Moyu came to him, he was frightened yet eager. He trembled with fear, but he held the man tightly. He desperately wanted to get something from the other that could alleviate the pain, but the other restrained his body in place and comforted him softly beside his ear. He was so muddleheaded that he couldn’t understand anything. He only felt that the voice was like a clear spring flowing through, which eased his anxiety a little. Then he smelled the ebony pheromones, it was powerful, composed, forgiving, and prudent. It instantly eroded his brain and cleansed his soul. It was like a lighthouse in the vast chaos that guided him with its lofty light. He happily released his own pheromones to pursue his light. He could feel the entanglement and adhesion between epiphyllum and ebony in the air, both the rigidity and softness go hand in hand. He was sure that the lighthouse was also shaking in the wind and rain, it hesitated and wavered for a while, but in the end, it stabilized its foundation and used its pheromones to suppress him. After that, he felt a stabbing pain in the back of his neck. Qu Moyu gave him a temporary mark and calmed his disarray. When the safety department specialized in dealing with emergencies came, he was shot with a tranquilizer.

Without experiencing this deep despair, he wouldn’t have experienced this strong attachment to the person who redeemed him. Qu Moyu only gave him only a temporary mark, yet it has been engraved in his heart. However, he knew that the two would not interact again, he was already too old to be dreaming. He only regarded it as a fortuitous encounter and buried his desires. He will just take glances from a distance, which will glances full of joy.

Qu Moyu was unaware of the surging thoughts of his legitimate wife standing beside him. He said, “In the evening, someone will bring you to take your measurements to order some formal clothes. In a few days, it will be my father’s birthday banquet and I need to take you home.” Then he went upstairs without looking back.

“…”

After Shen Dai returned to the research institute, he packed some clothes and daily necessities from his dormitory. He didn’t need to bring too many things, there seemed to be everything in that guest room. Looking around his small dormitory, it wasn’t even as big as a certain someone’s bathroom, but it made him feel safe here. That place, Qu Moyu’s home, makes him nervous.

After work, the Qu family’s driver came to pick him up. Uncle Heng was also in the car, he came to accompany him to a private club that customizes suits.

When Uncle Heng communicated with the tailor, Shen Dai also put forward some requests on the selection of fabrics and thread. He is on the thin side, so woolen threads could help add a sense of stability to him.

Uncle Heng glanced at Shen Dai unexpectedly. He probably thought that Shen Dai didn’t look like a person who knew how to customize suits since he was usually dressed in simple commuter’s casual clothes.

Shen Dai saw through his gaze but remained extremely calm. He rarely had emotional fluctuations because of people he didn’t care about, plus, he could also understand Uncle Heng’s surprise. He grew up in a family atmosphere that was full of artistic atmosphere and romantic feelings. Although it wasn’t luxurious, clothing expenses were of high quality. However, he became too poor in recent years that he started to pay less attention. Moreover, as he grew up, he began to resist fine literature and art from his heart. In university, he chose engineering without hesitation. It was not that he didn’t like his childhood life, but that he saw his father get spoiled in that kind of family into a naive, selfish, stupid ingrate.

He believed that his grandparents’ parenting philosophy was meant to be forgiving and happy. They encouraged children to pursue and live out their own ideals for beauty, love, and romantic hymns. However, this education lacked responsibility and pragmatism. As a result, his father became a selfish whimsical fool that was desperate for love. At a young age, he thought the love between him and the rich young master was vigorous but found out later that the other was a scumbag. After being abandoned, he forced himself to give birth. Afterward, he thought he found true love from a liar and betrayed his family. He stole all the assets and put them up as collateral for the other. Compared to You Xinghai, who Shen Dai had seen two times in his life, he hated and despised his father a hundred times more.

Shen Dai looked at himself in the mirror, but frowned because he saw some similarities to his father’s face.

In the next few days, Shen Dai took a taxi plus the subway to commute. Although it was more troublesome than before, he didn’t have to punch in and the hours were relatively unrestrained. He was also considering whether he should buy a cheap scooter.

On Saturday night, he changed into the suit he had just received and sat quietly in the living room and waited. It was until Uncle Heng informed him that he walked out the door and got inside the Phantom Extended outside.

Qu Moyu was sitting in the car reading documents. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. His tall and strong figure is perfectly complemented by the high-quality fabrics and tailoring. His skin was so smooth that it was shining. From the bone of his eyebrows to his nose to his jaw, every single line is steep and beautiful. Even the stands of his hair are completely gathered in the right position. Every frame is a refined pictorial, it was noble and elegant. The backplate of the back seat was completely lowered, providing him with a luxurious and spacious private space. This place seemed like his own moving office.

Such a space is naturally filled with the scent of his ebony pheromones.

Shen Dai got inside silently, “Hello President Qu.”

Qu Moyu raised his head and looked at Shen Dai, his pupils briefly paused, “The clothes fit very well.”

“Yes.”

The car started moving. For half the way there, Qu Moyu looked at documents while Shen Dai looked out at the scenery —— it’s impolite to play on his phone in front of his boss.

Then, Qu Moyu closed the documents and adjusted his sitting posture.

Shen Dai realized that Qu Moyu had something to say, so he slightly turned his body towards him.

“I’m taking you home today and it’s your first formal meeting with my family. You don’t have to be nervous. Just answer whatever the elders ask you. You don’t need to talk much, don’t take the initiative to speak, and just be polite and maintain your smile.”

“Understood.”

“I have a cousin.” Qu Moyu paused briefly, “He might ask you a lot of questions and even deliberately make things difficult for you. Try to avoid him. In short, we can’t put our ‘cooperative relationship’ out in the open because the elders at home don’t want to see us fight.”

Hearing these words, Shen Dai didn’t actually understand but could only continue to agree.

“You need to know sooner or later, so I’ll tell you a few things in advance.” Qu Moyu saw Shen Dai’s confusion. He said very calmly, “You should have heard the saying that it’s extremely lucky if there is an S-level alpha in the family, but a complete disaster if there are two. My cousin is the second S-level alpha in our family, and he marked my fiancee.”

Shen Dai immediately understood everything.

Putting it simply, the relationship between a S-level alpha and another S-level alpha is that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

Alphas are the most aggressive and competitive gender. They were born naturally belligerent, they have eagers to conquer and an endless desire for power. Alphas with S-level pheromones are the natural kings standing at the top of the human food chain. Almost all of them have beautiful appearances, strong physiques, and superb wisdom. They also carry their own biological weapon —— pheromone suppression. They are predators of genetic dividends and monopolize most of the world’s resources and wealth. Most of those who can stand at the peak in various fields are S-level alphas, they are the uncrowned rulers and emperors in this secularized society. The world has another nickname for them —— the top predators.

Naturally, such superior genes are very scarce. The simultaneous appearance of two in a family means that they will have to live in the cruel internal competition all their life until the final victory is determined.

Shen Dai immediately felt numb from his scalp.
