TYMRHBDES Chapter 68

Huo Zedong waved his hand, and the waiter was led away.

A warm, large hand took his, guiding him forward.

The man’s deep, pleasant voice eased the anxiety in his heart as he asked, “What did Mother talk to you about while I was away?”

The Little Omega’s attention shifted slightly. He obediently looked up. “Aunt wanted to pay me to leave you.”

“And did you agree?” The man’s voice was unhurried, tinged with amusement.

The Little Omega shook his head, his voice soft. “I wouldn’t agree to that!”

After saying this, he tilted his head back, his wet eyes sparkling. “I bought you back with my own money!”

He wore an expression that clearly sought praise.

Huo Zedong chuckled. “Little CEO Jiang, you’re quite impressive.”

He wrapped his arm around the omega’s waist, pulling him closer. Raising one eyebrow, he asked, “Why didn’t our darling just buy his husband outright?”

The Little Omega sighed softly, his petal-like lips pouting slightly. “You’re too expensive. I can’t afford you…”

“Why can’t you afford me?”

The tall Alpha leaned down slightly, his warm breath brushing against the omega’s ear, causing the delicate white earlobe to flush crimson.

“Perhaps your husband would be willing to pay you to stay?”

On the other side of the room, Madam Huo returned with a conflicted expression. She clutched a glass of champagne but stared blankly ahead, lost in thought.

Someone whispered something in Mother Lin’s ear, and she smiled as she approached. “Did you see him?”

It was clear who “him” referred to.

Madam Huo nodded, taking a sip of her drink.

Mother Lin pressed on, “How did it go? Did he take the money and leave?”

Madam Huo’s expression grew even more peculiar. Recalling the scene, she shook her head.

Mother Lin asked, “Did he think it wasn’t enough?”

“No—”

Madam Huo looked at Mother Lin, her expression conflicted. “That child… he actually gave me money instead…”

“I can’t help but feel that this child is quite different from the rumors…”

Mother Lin’s smile faltered.

Over the years, the two families had grown close, and she and Huo Zedong’s mother had repeatedly hinted at their desire to deepen their bond through marriage.

Why did Madam Huo’s expression now suggest a subtle wavering?

Mother Lin felt a chill run down her spine.

But remembering her son’s mysterious arrangements, she felt a flicker of confidence.

Let her waver all she wants. Huo Ruoping was easily swayed. Even if she was currently being misled by that Jiang Luoluo and wavering a little, once the event her son had planned unfolded, she’d be sure to change her mind.

Mother Lin’s hesitation about this matter would likely leave her deeply regretful.

Thinking this, Mother Lin didn’t argue but instead followed her daughter’s words:

“You can’t always trust rumors. Sometimes, you need to get to know someone yourself to truly understand their character.”

A commotion erupted nearby. A waiter rushed over, lowering his voice urgently, “Madam, something terrible has happened! An Alpha has lost control!”

Mother Lin already knew what was happening, but she feigned shock. “What? Where? Has anyone been hurt?”

The waiter hesitated. “The door is tightly sealed, so we don’t know…”

“Quickly inform the Master! Today’s guests are all esteemed. We can’t risk anyone getting hurt!”

A moment later, Father Lin, completely unaware of the situation, arrived. “Why are you still here?” His stern face was etched with worry. “An Alpha has lost control. The staff said they informed you. Why haven’t you gone to check?”

“There are so many Omegas at today’s banquet. What if something happens?”

Mother Lin had long anticipated this. She was eager to delay as long as possible, hoping to witness Jiang Luoluo’s humiliation. Thus, she made no haste.

Speaking slowly, Mother Lin said, “After all, it was a runaway Alpha. As a mere woman, I was terrified to go near him…”

“Besides, when an Alpha loses control, the Omegas would run away. Who would dare approach him?”

“Even if something had happened, it would have been that Omega’s fault for being careless and not protecting himself properly…”

Mother Lin subtly stepped on Jiang Luoluo’s toes while whispering poison into Madam Huo’s ear.

Madam Huo frowned, clearly disagreeing.

“You can’t say that. Omegas are physically weaker to begin with and are also affected by Alpha pheromones. It’s more likely he couldn’t escape rather than that he was careless…”

“If an Omega is hurt later, you mustn’t say such things in front of them. It’s the runaway Alpha’s fault. How can you blame the Omega for not protecting himself?”

The group hurried along, their path growing increasingly secluded.

From afar, they saw a large crowd gathered around a room—the scene of the incident.

Mother Lin tilted her chin, pointing to the secluded area around them as she spoke in a low, cutting voice: “My dear sister, look at this place…”

“What proper Omega would wander off to such a remote place alone?”

“You’re just too naive about people.”

As they drew closer, they could hear the murmuring crowd discussing nothing but the out-of-control Alpha.

Father Lin’s voice boomed. As the host of the banquet, his words immediately captured everyone’s attention.

“Why is everyone standing here? The Alpha’s out-of-control pheromones could affect you all. Please disperse a little.”

“It’s fine. The room’s door is sealed tightly. It won’t affect anyone.”

More people were eager to watch the spectacle. They chattered among themselves, refusing to leave.

Mother Lin, equally unwilling to let them go, hurried over, feigning urgency. “Hurry and open the door!”

“The longer you wait, the more dangerous it becomes inside!”

A faint, almost imperceptible sweetness lingered in the Alpha pheromones seeping from the door crack. Mother Lin inhaled, found the scent familiar, and immediately covered her nose, wrinkling her face in disgust.

This nauseating pheromone made her want to vomit just from smelling it.

Victory, so close at hand, made her unwilling to wait another second.

Facing her husband, who was still struggling with his conflicted emotions and trying to clear the crowd before breaking down the door, Mother Lin raised her hand and called out, “Open the door!”

The people she had prearranged rushed forward, and Father Lin, unable to stop them, sighed and stepped aside.

The crowd was so dense that he nearly stumbled, but a large hand steadied his arm. “Uncle Lin, be careful.”

“Zhedong!” Father Lin straightened up with the help, forcing a bitter smile. “I couldn’t even manage the banquet properly. I’ve made you laugh.”

Mother Lin, who had keenly caught the name “Zhedong,” pushed through the crowd. She turned to Huo Zedong, ready to say something, but her gaze was immediately drawn to the person Huo Zedong was carefully cradling in his arms.

Jiang Luoluo?

Wasn’t that the same Jiang Luoluo?

What was he doing here? Shouldn’t he be inside the room?

If he wasn’t in the room, then who was inside??

Father Lin stepped aside, surveying the chaotic scene around him. He casually asked, “Zhedong, have you seen our Xiao Yi?”

At the same moment, the door was forced open, and a powerful wave of Alpha pheromones mixed with Omega pheromones flooded out.

The scent rushed into Mother Lin’s nostrils.

Her mind exploded with a thunderous boom, igniting a thought that made her eyes widen instantly.

*Honey!*

*That familiar scent… it’s honey!*

*Xiao Yi!*

*It’s our Xiao Yi’s pheromones!!*

*The person inside is our Xiao Yi!!!*

Mother Lin finally realized what was happening. The fake smile still lingering on her face was instantly replaced by undisguised panic. She screamed:

“No!”

“Close the door!”

*They can’t see!*

*They absolutely cannot see that the Omega inside is our Xiao Yi!*

*Otherwise, how will our Xiao Yi ever face the world again? How will he even live?!*

Mother Lin’s hands trembled uncontrollably, her poorly controlled expression a bizarre mix of conflicting emotions. She clutched Father Lin’s arm tightly.

“Hurry!”

“Hurry and close the door!”

“They can’t see!!”

Seeing his wife’s crazed expression, Father Lin realized something was wrong. He tried to move toward the door, but it was too late.

Some Alphas, eager for excitement, had already rushed into the room. Their crude voices, unashamedly reporting the scene inside, carried to those still crowding outside:

“Holy shit! This is explosive!!”

“They started right on the couch!!”

“It’s an Alpha I don’t recognize!”

“That Omega… Lin Zhiyi!!!”

The clamor was deafening. Mother Lin’s legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the floor.

Reacting instantly, Father Lin shoved through the crowd toward the room. “Get out! All of you, get out!!”

Like flies drawn to rotten fruit, this group had swarmed in, circling a few times to their satisfaction before pouring back out.

“I never expected it would be him…”

“He really knows how to play…”

Mother Lin pulled herself up, pushing away Madam Huo’s supporting hand, and limped toward the room.
