It’s actually true?
Calming his emotions and seeing no one around, he took the document bag upstairs.
In the kitchen, Jiang Luoluo carefully peeled the washed grapes, mashing them in a glass with two spoonfuls of grape jam. He added ice cubes, stirred well, poured in brewed Four Seasons Spring Tea, topped it with whipped cream, garnished with a few grapes, and dusted it with powdered sugar before carefully carrying it out.
Lin Zhiyi, seeing him emerge, ran over, exclaiming, “Wow!”
“Luo Luo! You’re amazing!”
He took a glass from Jiang Luoluo’s hand.
The little omega, delighted by the praise, smiled brightly. “Try it!”
Lin Zhiyi inserted a straw and took a sip, followed by a string of compliments.
“Oh, right,” Lin Zhiyi said after they’d chatted for a while, as if just remembering. He pointed to a cabinet across the room. “The butler came earlier. This is what he brought.”
Jiang Luoluo set down his glass and went to retrieve the package, tearing it open as he walked. He glanced at the results and asked casually, “What level of compatibility is 80%?”
Lin Zhiyi’s eyes flickered. “Is that yours and Mr. Huo’s?”
Jiang Luoluo nodded.
“What level of compatibility is 80%?”
Lin Zhiyi’s eyes flickered. “Is that between you and Mr. Huo?”
Jiang Luoluo nodded.
“That’s the level where you can grow old together!”
Lin Zhiyi leaned in close to take a look. “My parents’ pheromone compatibility is exactly 80% too! They’ve been happily married their whole lives!”
Listening to Lin Zhiyi, Jiang Luoluo’s eyes curved into crescents.
He also wanted to spend his whole life happily with Huo Zedong.
Jiang Luoluo carefully folded the report. As he looked up, he met Lin Zhiyi’s gaze, which was filled with unspoken words.
Jiang Luoluo blinked his large, round almond eyes. Lin Zhiyi’s smile deepened. “Luo Luo…”
“Luo Luo, Mr. Huo truly cares for you. Please don’t let him down.”
Jiang Luoluo blinked again, his long eyelashes fluttering.
“Over the years, Mr. Huo’s parents have arranged many Omegas for him, all with compatibility scores above 85%, some even reaching 90%. But he rejected them all.”
“To be honest, this level of compatibility with a top-tier alpha isn’t exceptionally high.”
“The higher the compatibility, the stronger the natural, inseparable attraction between an alpha and an omega. During an omega’s heat and an alpha’s sensitive period, they provide each other with a greater sense of security.”
“Mr. Huo rejected all those alphas with high compatibility scores and chose only you. This shows how genuinely he cares for you.”
As Lin Zhiyi spoke, he reached out to stroke Jiang Luoluo’s head, his voice sincere. “But our Luo Luo is so beautiful, it’s no surprise Mr. Huo fell for you!”
Jiang Luoluo blinked slowly, his watery eyes reflecting a hint of confusion.
Lin Zhiyi continued earnestly, “Luo Luo, you must keep a close eye on Mr. Huo. So many people want to be by his side. If an omega with a 90% compatibility score appears, their natural attraction could cloud his judgment.”
“And if he starts to like you less… you’ll be in trouble.”
Huo Zedong had a meeting to attend that evening. He called to remind Jiang Luoluo to eat properly.
Sinking into the sofa, the Little Omega softly agreed. He stared at the disconnected phone screen, then glanced at the report in his hand.
He seemed to lack any outstanding qualities.
Jiang Luoluo lowered his eyelashes, their thick fringe trembling with his thoughts.
A defective gland.
Unable to be permanently marked.
Unable to conceive and bear children.
Even his compatibility with Huo Zedong wasn’t particularly high.
Nothing was good enough.
Jiang Luoluo raised his face and gazed at the large mirror in the dressing room.
The four-sided mirror reflected his figure from every angle.
A slender, delicate Omega with a face others called beautiful.
He stared at the person in the mirror, who stared back at him with a dazed expression.
It seemed he had nothing to offer besides his looks.
A knock sounded from outside, “Luo Luo, are you ready? Come down for dinner.”
Jiang Luoluo answered and opened the door.
Lin Zhiyi, seeing Jiang Luoluo standing there in a loose white home outfit, suppressed the jealousy rising in his chest.
He was truly beautiful.
His eyes shimmered like rippling water, his nose was small and delicate, and even his lips were petal-soft and rosy. When he looked at people, his expression was innocent and vulnerable, utterly captivating.
It was a delicate, fragile beauty that made any alpha want to protect him.
No wonder Huo Zedong was so fond of him.
Why was Jiang Luoluo’s life so blessed?
A bastard child, lacking proper education, with a defective gland—any one of these would be enough to suffocate an Omega.
Yet he was born with such a face and possessed an unbelievable 100% compatibility rate, allowing him to easily remain by Huo Zedong’s side.
How could he be so lucky?
Meanwhile, Lin Zhiyi, born into a wealthy family who had given him the best of everything since childhood, had still failed to live a fulfilling life, ultimately ending up in such a dire state.
He would never repeat that mistake.
In his previous life, Huo Zedong had never married, so even with Jiang Luoluo in his life, he hadn’t stayed with him until the end.
He must have been abandoned shortly after staying by Huo Zedong’s side.
Lin Zhiyi stared at the person before him.
So, he was merely following the course of Jiang Luoluo’s life by sending him away. He wasn’t committing any heinous crime.
At worst, when Jiang Luoluo was abandoned, he could give him some money to help him out.
But Huo Zedong—he was determined to have him!
A glint flashed in Lin Zhiyi’s eyes as he watched Jiang Luoluo clutching the crumpled report. He knew his words had taken effect.
Lin Zhiyi reached out, snatched the report, tore it to shreds with a few swift rips, and then turned and walked away.
Jiang Luoluo hadn’t anticipated his actions and had no idea what he was doing. Seeing him leave with the shredded report, she hurried after him.
“Xiao Yi, where are you going?”
Lin Zhiyi went downstairs and entered a restroom.
Jiang Luoluo followed, puzzled, and saw him toss the report into the toilet and flush.
With a loud “whoosh,” the fragments vanished down the drain.
“Xiao Yi!”
Jiang Luoluo frowned. “Why did you flush them?”
Lin Zhiyi turned back. “Luo Luo, I don’t want to see you unhappy. I’m sorry. I always think I know what’s best for you, always say too much, and always end up making you upset.”
“Now that it’s gone, just forget about it!”
Jiang Luoluo sighed. “I haven’t even shown it to my husband yet—”
“You don’t need to.”
Lin Zhiyi’s gaze was firm as he steadied Jiang Luoluo’s shoulders. “He loves you anyway. What does this report have to do with it?”
“Didn’t he love you before you had the report?”
“Showing him the report might make Mr. Huo think differently. So, just don’t let him see it.”
“Pretend none of this ever happened. You’re still the Jiang Luoluo Mr. Huo loves most.”
“But I don’t want to hide it from him…” Jiang Luoluo sighed helplessly.
Lin Zhiyi was a genuinely kind person, but his enthusiasm often landed in the wrong places.
“If Mr. Huo really wants to investigate, I’ll take the blame. I tore up the report and flushed it down the toilet. Let him scold me! I’ll even bring my parents over to apologize!” Lin Zhiyi said earnestly.
Jiang Luoluo frowned.
How had his relationship with Huo Zedong become entangled with Lin Zhiyi’s parents?
The situation was becoming increasingly bizarre.
Jiang Luoluo opened his mouth, then sighed again.
“Alright, Xiao Yi, I know you mean well. But please don’t make decisions for me anymore.”
“Let’s go eat first.”
As they followed Jiang Luoluo out the door, Lin Zhiyi glanced back at the toilet.
*Perfect.* He’d been worried that the report might have been left behind, potentially exposing his tampering.
Now, with the evidence destroyed, no one could trace his actions.
Watching Jiang Luoluo walk ahead, Lin Zhiyi’s steps lightened.
*Excellent.*
He was one step closer to becoming Madam Huo.
In the bedroom.
Huo Zedong pushed open the door and saw a small lump under the covers.
As he entered, the lump stirred, and a head peeked out.
Even from that distance, he could see his Little Omega’s eyes light up. “Husband~”
Like a kitten finally reunited with its Master, he darted into Huo Zedong’s arms.
Huo Zedong bent down to scoop him up, then turned toward the bathroom.
The Little Omega, nestled in his arms, had flushed cheeks and a breath tinged with alcohol.
His wet eyes blinked at him without wavering, looking exceptionally docile.
Huo Zedong lowered his head to kiss his lips, and his Little Omega quickly closed his eyes, his trembling eyelashes fluttering as if completely at his mercy.
Turning on the bathtub faucet, the alpha, still in his suit, set his obedient and adorable omega on the vanity, one arm wrapped around his waist.
The Little Omega looked up at him and murmured softly, “Husband~”
Huo Zedong smiled. “I’m here, Husband.”
A small hand rested on his shoulder. Seemingly exhausted, the Little Omega leaned forward, resting his head against the man’s shoulder in a gesture of dependence.
He called out again, “Huo Zedong~”
The crisp, alcohol-tinged breath brushed softly against his Adam’s apple.
