Fang Fengzhi looked at the balance in his bank account. Although he had saved quite a bit during the two years of marriage with Baiqi, it still wasn’t enough.
Fu Baiqi’s mother’s attitude was already very clear. She knew that Fu Baiqi was unhappy with him and was aware that during this time, Fu Baiqi had been with Bai Zhen, but she didn’t seem to care. Her goal was simply to have a legitimate child for the Fu family. She would not agree to talk about divorce, not just now, but also in the future.
But if he could completely pay off the debts that the Fu family had lent him, he would be on equal footing with them. That way, Fu Baiqi’s mother would no longer have the leverage of using the money issue to pressure him.
The problem was, with his meager salary, it would take at least another year of scrimping and saving just to barely scrape together enough.
As he made his way home, he dialed Fu Baiqi’s number. He wanted to have a conversation with him, to finally talk things through.
No matter how many calls he made, there was no answer. In the end, Fang Fengzhi resorted to sending a message, but the result was the same.
Fang Fengzhi was just thinking about when he would have to bite the bullet and go to his company, but unexpectedly, two days later, when he returned home, he immediately smelled the familiar, intense scent of pheromones. He walked in and saw Fu Baiqi sitting in the living room.
Before Fang Fengzhi could say anything, Fu Baiqi spoke first. “Why aren’t you answering your calls?”
Fang Fengzhi quickly processed the thought in his mind. There had been a few unfamiliar numbers calling earlier, and since he didn’t recognize them, he had just hung up.
“I didn’t know you changed your number.”
Fu Baiqi furrowed his brows, not intending to explain. Instead, he walked up to Fang Fengzhi and took a small bottle out of his hand. “What is this?”
Fang Fengzhi’s heart skipped a beat, his face turned pale, and he was speechless.
This was the medicine that Min Zhi gave him. He didn’t dare take too much during the time he was in the villa. Every time he felt unwell, just taking a little would make his scalp tingle, and he was about to org*sm. So after the mark disappeared, the bottle of medicine was not used up.
He didn’t know what he was thinking either, he actually brought it back.
Even… just a few days ago, he couldn’t help but taste a little bit again.
He looked at Fu Baiqi, who had a blank expression on his face. However, this thing was clearly placed in his bedroom, so how could he have found it?
Noticing the grim expression on Fang Fengzhi’s face, Fu Baiqi lowered his head to check the gland at the back of his neck, it was unharmed.
As soon as he got home, he smelled a faint pheromone that did not belong to him. It was aggressive and definitely not from an Omega. He was sure that Fang Fengzhi had found someone else. At that moment, he felt a sense of betrayal and anger. He followed the smell, but he didn’t expect to find only this thing.
For some reason, he actually felt relieved at that time.
This uncontrollable, instinctive feedback from his heart made Fu Baiqi feel very uncomfortable.
He sneered and threw the thing into Fang Fengzhi’s hand. He was indeed a shameless thing. He had used pheromones to seduce him before but failed. Now he was so thirsty that he bought a high-concentration extract from the black market. He probably relied on this to get by during the time he was away from home.
Ignoring Fang Fengzhi, whose expression was a little abnormal, he started talking about another matter. “Mom was sick and was hospitalized today.”
“Come with me to take a look.”
Fang Fengzhi was still a little stunned and just found the key words and asked, “Sick?” After a moment, seeing Fu Baiqi’s blank expression, the heavy weight in his heart finally eased. Fu Baiqi hadn’t suspected him.
He recalled what Fu Baiqi had just said.
Sick? She was fine a few days ago, how could she suddenly get sick? Although he felt confused, he didn’t say anything. “Are we going now?”
Fu Baiqi nodded but did not move. He turned his cold eyes to look at Fang Fengzhi. It was terribly heavy.
His heart was lifted again.
“What’s wrong…”
“The whole room is filled with your scent.”
“Sorry, I’ll go put it on now…”
“No need.” Fu Baiqi suddenly stood up and walked into the study. After that, there was no movement anymore.
Fang Fengzhi walked to the door somewhat confusedly, only to see Fu Baiqi throwing the injected inhibitor into the trash can. Perhaps his body had not adapted to the inhibitor, and he looked at Fang Fengzhi with unclear eyes. “I almost couldn’t hold back just now.”
He slowly covered his head and relaxed for a while.
When his body had completely adapted to the inhibitor and the drug had taken effect, he stood up and walked towards Fang Fengzhi.
As usual, there was no expression on his face, but Fang Fengzhi inexplicably felt an indescribable fear. He felt that something was wrong with Fu Baiqi. His heart was beating violently, as if every step Fu Baiqi took towards him was crushing his heart.
He stepped back unconsciously, and when he was only one step away from the Alpha, he couldn’t help it anymore and said, “I, I’ll go get something.” Then he turned around quickly.
Before he could take a few steps, his hair was suddenly grabbed by someone behind him.
“Ah!” His eyes flickered for a moment, and his body was suddenly pressed against the wall. Before Fang Fengzhi could react to what happened, the woody scent of Fu Baiqi’s body rushed into his nose, and his body began to weaken.
He heard the Alpha lean close to his ear and say, “You want pheromones, right? I’ll give them to you.”
After saying that, before he could come back to his senses, Fu Baiqi suddenly bit his gland. His sharp teeth pierced into Fang Fengzhi’s flesh, and that sensitive area was instantly invaded.
Fang Fengzhi was shaking like crazy. After experiencing the Enigma with the highest pheromone concentration, Fu Baiqi’s pheromones were not that pungent, but after all, it was a hundred percent pheromone match, so Fang Fengzhi was still stimulated to the point of being speechless for a moment. He gasped for air with his mouth wide open, and after the marking, the Alpha behind him ran his tongue slowly, almost stickily, over his skin. Fang Fengzhi got an erection the moment he was stimulated, and the place below felt like it was anesthetic, itching so much that he wanted someone to insert and poke it.
He grasped the hand on his waist impatiently, but the person behind him suddenly shook him off as if he had been electrocuted.
Fu Baiqi frowned and gasped heavily.
It was the first time he truly understood how overwhelming a perfect one hundred percent pheromone match could be. He had only been injected with the inhibitor a few minutes ago, yet all he could think about now was being with Fang Fengzhi, he even had the urge to mark him completely.
He gritted his teeth, looking at Fang Fengzhi’s lustful face, his heart pounding. Just as he was about to get the inhibitor, Fang Fengzhi suddenly pounced on him again.
Fang Fengzhi was somewhere confused at the moment. Having just been marked, he instinctively craved the marker’s pheromones for comfort. So, like before, he threw himself into the arms of the pheromone source. In his mind, this was the way to receive that person’s soothing pheromones.
But a powerful force shoved him away. Caught off guard, he stumbled back several steps and fell hard to the ground, his head hitting with a heavy thud.
He regained consciousness and raised his head in a daze. He saw that the person in front of him was Fu Baiqi, and blinked.
Seeing the bright red blood oozing out of Fang Fengzhi’s forehead, Fu Baiqi suddenly realized what he had done. He quickly grabbed the first aid kit to stop the bleeding on Fang Fengzhi’s forehead, then administered an inhibitor injection. Only then did Fang Fengzhi begin to stabilize.
He leaned tiredly on the sofa, watching Fu Baiqi pack the things quietly, without moving or speaking.
Until the Alpha finished packing everything, walked up to him, and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
“I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Fang Fengzhi nodded. Whether it was Fu Baiqi’s sudden marking or the accidental injury, he held no resentment toward him. He was simply confused.
But this time he didn’t want to find out the reason. When Fu Baiqi was about to help him up, Fang Fengzhi suddenly said, “You want a divorce too, right?”
He did not directly say that he wanted a divorce but asked, “You want a divorce too, right?” This way, it was not just his wish but a joint decision of both parties.
But Fu Baiqi’s reaction was different from what Fang Fengzhi had imagined. First, he frowned, then said, “Let’s talk about it later. Let’s go to the hospital first.”
He was actually hesitating.
Fang Fengzhi sat in the passenger seat. This was his first time riding in Fu Baiqi’s car.
Maybe because he was too tired, he just stared out the window without saying a word after getting in the car.
Fu Baiqi glanced at him a few times. He felt a bit uneasy seeing the person who always approached him with warmth suddenly fall silent. Especially after bringing up the divorce, something he had been waiting for Fang Fengzhi to bring up first. When he actually opened his mouth, Fu Baiqi hesitated.
He didn’t know what he was hesitating about either, but he didn’t want to mention it for the time being.
After the two went to the hospital to bandage the wounds, they went to see Fu Baiqi’s mother.
That Omega was lying on the hospital bed, and her husband was serving her. She looked much better than Fang Fengzhi.
Seeing the two people coming in, she could smell the pheromones on them from a distance. Fu Baiqi’s mother smiled instantly, as if she had encountered something great. She winked at Fang Fengzhi.
Fang Fengzhi paused, lowered his head, and said nothing.
After they left the hospital, Fang Fengzhi glanced at Fu Baiqi. “You marked me just now, was it for Mom?”
Fu Baiqi did not answer his question but said, “I’ll take you back first.”
He actually knew that his mother was pretending to be sick this time, and it was just a trick that she came up with to make him completely mark Fang Fengzhi. Fang Fengzhi was right. Part of the reason for temporarily marking him was that he didn’t want to listen to her nagging anymore, and another reason was…
That bottle of pheromone extract was the trigger.
Min Zhi had recently been paying attention to Fu Baiqi’s pheromones — that faint scent of chamomile.
He couldn’t control his behavior and could only attribute it to the fact that he really liked the smell.
It was just that the smell was always there, but there was very little.
But Min Zhi also didn’t care much and didn’t have any other thoughts in his mind either.
Until this morning, when Fu Baiqi came to him with the documents for his signature.
Before he even opened the door, the scent of Fu Baiqi filled the air. Min Zhi fixed his gaze on the Alpha, watching him draw closer. The scent of chamomile pheromones, his favorite pheromone, blended with Fu Baiqi’s woody scent, was so strong and captivating it was impossible to ignore.
