Qu Moyu looked at his mother blankly.

Most S-class alphas are fundamentalist believers of power. They use power to build class barriers. Later generations must embrace the same laws and add bricks to it. Generation after generation, the core interests and authority of the class are consolidated. Only in this way can the entire group have always maintained its dominance.

They believe in the power of power above all else. And they often dismiss ethereal feelings. Therefore, Qu Moyu couldn’t understand what his mother  had said for a while.

But he also realised that the power he was used to was ineffective against Shen Dai. Shen Dai did bring Qiuqiu back to him, but he was resisting him in every possible way. He seemed to control Shen Dai, but in fact he didn’t get anything. He thought he would be the winner, just like his countless games with others in the past. In the game with an omega, there is no reason to lose. But Shen Dai’s cold eyes, silent words and careful attitude have already defeated him.

The short-lived but stunningly strong Epiphyllum fragrance that was neglected was unwilling to bloom for him again.

He had really reached the point where he could do nothing. So he dared to put down his dignity and admit that he could do nothing and that Shen Dai was the first person in his life that he couldn’t break through.

Madam Qu read the mixed emotions from her son’s expression. She didn’t know how to guide Qu Moyu to understand the feelings of normal people. She also thought that he didn’t need it, but who could really avoid it? When it comes to love, Shen Dai’s appearance may be a belated redemption for Qu Moyu. And even for herself, it is an opportunity to correct many things in the past.

Qu Moyu pondered for a long time before he said with a hoarse voice: “I already told him that I like him.”

“But what you were doing did not reflect that.” Madam Qu said softly, “If you don’t know what to do, you can first start by respecting him.”

“…”

“Don’t force him, listen to what he is saying, and consider from his point of view. Omega’s surrender to alpha is caused by genes but it does not mean he is willing to surrender,”Madam Qu gently stroked her son’s hair. They haven’t been this close for a long time, “The more you force him, the more you push him further.”

Qu Moyu lowered his eyes dejectedly. In the fan-shaped shadows cast by the feather eyelashes, there was a hint of thick ink-like pain.

“Let Shen Dai move to my place. It is so that we can still take care of him and Qiuqiu.”

Qu Moyu was unwilling. He didn’t want to let Shen Dai leave his sphere of influence. He should have paid close attention when Shen Dai lied. The fact that his omega was temporarily ‘marked’ by other alphas eventually became the demon of his life.

But now there is no other way. He can only retreat. He nodded: “Okay. You may arrange it.”

“Your dad is angry now. Don’t tell him anything. You have to get well soon.”

“Okay.”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.

“Come in.”

They thought it was a nurse who came in to change the dressing. Unexpectedly, three doctors came in at once. They were the vice president and two directors of the hospital. They were all hired by the Qu family from a public hospital with high salaries.

Qu Moyu frowned. Are these people so blind? He doesn’t have the physical strength and mood to meet people now.

The vice president held a document in his hand. His face was full of spring breeze and it was slightly red with excitement: “Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations to President Qu!”

The mother and son looked at each other. They were both puzzled.

The vice president shook the things in his hand: “Mr. Qu, the gland fluid of the child you sent us for testing a few days ago has come out. Yes, it’s an S-class. Your son is an S-class alpha!”

Qu Moyu’s eyes stared blankly at them.

Madam Qu was also stunned: “What? Who?” She reacted immediately and said in surprise, “Is it Qiuqiu?”

Qu Moyu’s heart began to beat wildly and he couldn’t believe his ears for a moment. This is such a big unexpected news. He hardly had any expectation that Shen Dai could give birth to an S-class alpha.

Madam Qu stood up, took the medical record book in the hands of the vice president, and opened it to read it carefully: “President Wang, are you sure?”

“Madam, don’t worry. How could we have made a mistake with Mr. Qu’s child? After testing it three times, it was determined to be an S-class.” The birth of an S-class alpha is a great event for any family. Not to mention, for this kind of top rich family. They need to be at the helm and become the only first to convey this good news. The vice president has already seen his bright future.

Qu Moyu felt a little dazed: “However, my omega’s pheromone level is only B.”

“For omega’s pheromone, fertility accounts for a large proportion. Mr. Shen may just not have strong fertility, but his other gene performance is better than most people.” The vice president said with a smile, “What’s more, with half of the genes belonging to you as an S-class alpha, the offspring must be outstanding. Congratulations to Mr. Qu. Congratulations to Madam.”

Qu Mo Yu stiffened. After a while, he suddenly tore off the needle on the back of his hand and was about to get out of bed.

The nurse was startled and hurriedly stopped him: “Mr. Qu, where are you going? This bottle hasn’t…”

“I’m going to tell Shen Dai about it.” Qu Moyu looked at his mother with an unparalleled expression on his face. It was pride. That was what that expression seemed to say. It seems to say that Shen Dai is worthy of being his omega and Qiuqiu is worthy of being his son!

Madam Qu’s mood was very complicated. She was happy, but also worried.

As soon as Qu Moyu got up, he felt a burst of dizziness. He stumbled back to the bed and waited for the discomfort to pass. After a few seconds, he calmed down.

“Mr. Qu, no matter how happy you are, you have to pay attention to your body.” The vice president said, “It’s not too late to share the good news with your family after you recover.”

Qu Moyu lowered his head and thought for a moment. He slowly raised his head, looking at the vice president and his pupils were sharp: “How many people know about this?”

The vice president noticed the sudden drop in Qu Moyu’s mood and suddenly became at a loss: “Uh… besides us, there are two more people in the department.”

“Tell them not to tell anyone.” Qu Moyu said solemnly, “President Wang, this news cannot leave this hospital. Can I leave this matter to you?”

Madam Qu frowned and hesitated.

The vice-principal didn’t know why, but he still replied: “Of course. Don’t worry.” The two directors also nodded.

“President Wang, thank you. I would like to talk to my mother alone now.” The vice president took the director and the nurse out of the ward quickly.

Qu Moyu let out a long sigh. He closed his eyes and leaned against the head of the bed, with mixed feelings in his heart. The heir of the S-class alpha that he had always wanted to come to him in such a dramatic way. When he heard the news, he had a moment of ecstasy, but he soon realised that this matter could not be known by his father. And he also can’t let Shen Dai know about it for the time being.

His father was furious because of the loss of the Zhou family. If he found out that Qiuqiu was the S-class heir he wanted, he would definitely get Qiuqiu’s legal custody. Shen Dai would definitely not be able to bear it. At the same time, when Shen Dai heard of this news, he would only think that everything Qu Moyu did was for Qiuqiu.

This psychological gap up and down made his head swell and hurt again.

Madam Qu and him thought of the same thing. She pinched the document in her hand and said helplessly: “It’s a good thing that Qiuqiu is so good, but now is not the time to make it public.” Qu Moyu pressed his fingers against his eyebrows, using physical pain to transfer his emotional pain. He murmured, “I can’t let Ah Dai know…”

***

Madam Qu used her car to pick up Shen Dai and took him out of the hospital. She then took him to the apartment in the city.

Shen Dai held his handphone, thinking about the message Bai Xiangwan had just sent him. He doesn’t know how to reply.

Bai Xiangwan wrote this: Ah Dai, with these things that had happened, let’s calm down for a while. Don’t blame Xiao Die. She was too nervous. She called me over because she was afraid of you getting into an accident. I don’t know if what I did helped you or hurt you. The problem between you and Mr. Qu still needs to be solved by yourself. I can’t even give you advice for that. For Qiuqiu’s sake, I wish you the best. And if you and Qiuqiu need us, we will still be there for you.

Shen Dai felt extremely uncomfortable. When his consciousness was the most vague, Qu Moyu might have used pheromone suppression on Bai Xiangwan. Whether or not there was confusion in his memory, the conflict between the two was certain. And what was more serious was that he had to think of how this matter would affect Bai Xiangwan and Xiao Die’s career. In any case, he couldn’t let his troubles drag down those who had been genuinely helping him.

After sitting stiffly for a long time, Shen Dai turned on the phone and replied, “I’m sorry. Please apologise to Xiao Die on my behalf.”

He wanted to wait for the white elm pheromone on him to disappear before he could talk to Qu Moyu about it even if he was afraid of Qu Moyu.

Every time he thinks of Qu Moyu, his heart trembles. Obviously Qu Moyu didn’t ‘mark’ him, but in the spring dream of his estrus period, he awakened too many physical and psychological memories that he desperately suppressed. In order to protect himself, in order not to be torn apart by the pain and despair everywhere, from the moment he lay on the operating table to wash off the ‘mark’, he had sealed up all the good memories related to Qu Moyu. He would never allow himself to remember them again. Because of Qiuqiu, he seems to be able to endure any suffering, but he can’t look directly at the short-lived happiness that he once had.

People become numb in the dark and forget the darkness, but a ray of light will remind them that they are in the dark.

If it wasn’t for Qu Moyu wanting to ‘mark’ him at the end, awakening his stress response, he would definitely sink without a bottom line. At this moment, he may be thankful that the pain of him washing off the ‘mark’ left a lifelong shadow on him. It thus allows him to be able to retrieve the remaining sanity during the high lust of the estrus period.
