DL Chapter38

When Fang Fengzhi rushed to the hospital, Fu Baiqi’s parents were standing outside the ward and talking. Fu Baiqi’s mother was wiping her tears with a tissue in her hand.

 

“Dad, Mom…” Seeing the two of them turning their heads to look at him at the same time, Fang Fengzhi asked, “How is Baiqi?”

 

He saw that Fu Baiqi’s mother’s face had turned very ugly. She came out of her husband’s arms and stared at Fang Fengzhi with vicious and angry eyes. She did not answer Fang Fengzhi’s question but asked sharply, “What is that disgusting smell on you?!”

 

Fang Fengzhi paused. He knew she was referring to the pheromones left by Min Zhi. The temporary mark had not disappeared yet, and they were intimate last night as well. It was hard not to smell it. But Fang Fengzhi did not intend to lie. The harsh words from Fu Baiqi’s mother made him feel uncomfortable, so he frowned and said nothing.

 

Such an attitude was tantamount to acknowledging the fact that he had cheated. Fu Baiqi’s mother was shaking with anger, and his father also frowned, looking at Fang Fengzhi with eyes full of blame and disgust.

 

After all, they were in the hospital. Fu Baiqi’s mother didn’t want to make any big noise and attract attention. She gritted her teeth and looked at Fang Fengzhi with hatred in her eyes.

 

At this time, the nurse trotted out of the ward, “Is the patient’s partner here?”

 

Fang Fengzhi hesitated and did not move. After all, the title of “Fu Baiqi’s wife” was only in name only for him. Besides, he was now wearing Min Zhi’s mark and was not Fu Baiqi’s partner physically.

 

The other two probably thought so too, so they didn’t say anything.

 

“Is there anything that needs to be signed?” Fu Baiqi’s father asked.

 

“No, the patient is only temporarily out of danger and needs the comfort of his partner’s pheromones.”

 

After hearing this, Fu Baiqi’s mother became even more angry. She blamed Fang Fengzhi for being marked by another man. She looked at Fang Fengzhi with eyes that seemed to want to kill him. But the most important thing at the moment was to stabilize Fu Baiqi. She suppressed her anger and asked, “Is a highly matching pheromone okay?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Fang Fengzhi and the nurse entered the ward. Fu Baiqi, who had just experienced a car accident, was lying weakly on the bed. His originally white skin was now even paler and bloodless. He walked to Fu Baiqi’s side and saw that the man’s forehead was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze.

 

Fang Fengzhi couldn’t tell what he felt, but he felt that Fu Baiqi was a little pitiful at the moment. The nurse said that he had injuries all over his body, the most serious of which was his head. Highly matched pheromones could relieve the pain and allow him to safely pass through this critical period.

 

For Omega, Alpha’s pheromones are nutrients, and vice versa, Omega’s pheromones are the same for Alpha.

 

When Fang Fengzhi approached Fu Baiqi, the weak pheromones in Fu Baiqi’s body seemed to be suddenly injected with vitality and moved towards Fang Fengzhi with great vitality.

 

With Min Zhi’s mark, the pheromones from other Alphas became very unpleasant. He wiped his nose, waited for the nurse to leave, quietly opened his collar a little, then retracted his neck and pulled the lower half of his face inward.

 

There was a faint smell of gunpowder inside. Fang Fengzhi took a deep breath, and his whole body relaxed.

 

Even though Fang Fengzhi knew nothing about craving someone else’s pheromones in front of his own nominal husband, he still felt an indescribable sense of guilt. So he turned sideways and faced away from the person on the bed.

 

About an hour later, Fu Baiqi’s pheromones became much more stable under Fang Fengzhi’s comfort. The doctor came to check him, and Fang Fengzhi waited outside the door. There were no Alpha’s pheromones outside, and Fang Fengzhi felt relieved. He took out his cell phone and found two missed calls from Min Zhi.

 

Both calls were made an hour ago, when he was rushing to the hospital from work. He paused for a few seconds and dialed.

 

He picked up the phone quickly, but he didn’t hear the other end, so he lowered his voice, as if afraid of being heard by others, “Hello, Mr. Min?”

 

“En.” After a pause, “You are in the hospital?”

 

“Ah? How did you know?”

 

The person on the other end sounded a little cold, but it seemed like the same as usual as well, “I heard that Fu Baiqi had a car accident.”

 

After saying that, he continued, “Is he okay?”

 

“Not very good. Although he is out of danger, he hasn’t woken up yet.”

 

There was silence for a long time, and he seemed to be about to say something, but Fang Fengzhi saw Fu Baiqi’s parents coming from the elevator and hurriedly interrupted Min Zhi, “Mr. Min, I have something to do, so I’ll hang up first.”

 

Fu Baiqi’s mother walked up to him and asked, “Why did you come out?”

 

“The doctor is checking inside.”

 

Fu Baiqi’s mother frowned and said nothing more, but she was still angry.

 

After the doctor finished the examination, he came out and told them a few words, “There is no problem for now.”

 

“But during this period of time, the patient needs pheromone comfort, which is very beneficial to his physical recovery.”

 

After the doctor left, Fang Fengzhi and Fu Baiqi’s parents walked into the ward together. Looking at Fu Baiqi lying on the bed, his mother couldn’t stop crying again. Now that there was no one else in the room, she suddenly stretched out her hand and hit Fang Fengzhi in the face.

 

Fang Fengzhi didn’t have time to dodge, he just took a step back slightly. The woman’s fingers brushed against his face and hit him, causing a burning sensation.

 

Seeing that she failed to hit him, the middle-aged Omega became even more furious and kept complaining, “Isn’t our Fu family good enough to you? You do this? Do you have any shame?!” While cursing, she stretched out her hand again to hit Fang Fengzhi, but this time she failed, as her wrist was grabbed by Fang Fengzhi.

 

Before she could say what she had been holding back, she was startled by Fang Fengzhi’s look, “Did I do him wrong first?” The usually submissive person suddenly became a different person, his eyes full of anger and impatience, and he asked aggressively, “Why can he do it but I can’t?”

 

Fu Baiqi’s mother was frightened by his appearance and stood there speechless. Fu Baiqi’s father frowned, and seeing that his wife was at a disadvantage, he came over to hold the woman’s hand like a peacemaker, “Baiqi is still sick, let’s not talk about this for now.” After saying that, he added, “Baiqi is indeed at fault in this matter, but since he has already broken up with that person, you also shouldn’t do such a thing to humiliate yourself.” It seems that the man also knows about Fu Baiqi’s affairs.

 

He was the only one who was kept in the dark.

 

In his heart, there was only disappointment and silent anger. He looked straight at Fu Baiqi’s parents and then at the man lying on the bed.

 

From the beginning to the end, their family never considered him as a family member. They drew a clear line between themselves and him, as if he were inferior to others.

 

Fang Fengzhi felt an uncontrollable feeling of nausea in his heart.

 

“I don’t think I’m being self-deprecating.” He stared at the two people solemnly. He felt that he owed them money, and since they were Fu Baiqi’s parents and his elders, he respected them and tried to please them with the idea of ​​living with them for the rest of his life. But now it’s different. Most of the money has been paid, and the little affection he had for Fu Baiqi has almost been consumed. There’s no need to let them bully him anymore.

 

“I went to get the divorce agreement last week, and all that’s left is Fu Baiqi’s signature.”

 

“If you think that what I did brought shame to your family, we can just use Fu Baiqi’s fingerprints, and then I’ll leave.”

 

He looked at Fu Baiqi’s mother’s wide eyes expressionlessly.

 

Now they need him, so they won’t do anything to him.

 

It was the first time the woman saw Fang Fengzhi lose his temper, and she was frightened by his words. She wanted to scold him angrily, but she was afraid that Fang Fengzhi would just walk away. Now Fu Baiqi couldn’t live without Fang Fengzhi.

 

She could only stare at Fang Fengzhi with resentment, her face turning blue with anger, and she sat aside and stopped talking.

 

Fang Fengzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked to the chair outside the door and sat down.

 

He seldom quarreled with others, especially in this unfamiliar place. He felt that he was restrained and could only live in peace if he held his anger in his heart. But just now, the feeling of restraint seemed to slowly dissipate with his love for Fu Baiqi, and he wanted to let out the anger in his heart.

 

Though he felt a wave of relief after being released, the cruel words they hurled at him still stabbed at his heart like thorns.

 

Fang Fengzhi leaned back and smelled the faint smell of gunpowder on his body. Just as he wanted to close his eyes in exhaustion, he noticed a tall figure who was out of place with the surroundings walking towards him.

 

Fang Fengzhi was stunned and turned around to see Min Zhi walking towards him.

 

Fang Fengzhi had only this thought in his mind: he must not be discovered by Fu Baiqi’s parents.

 

Before Min Zhi could come over, Fang Fengzhi hurriedly stood up, grabbed Min Zhi’s hand, and walked back. Min Zhi followed him all the way to the stairwell. Not many people would come here, but Fang Fengzhi still felt nervous.

 

He let go of Min Zhi’s hand and looked at the door behind him.

 

“What’s wrong with your face?”

 

“What?” Fang Fengzhi was slow to respond. He reached out and touched the spot, but didn’t notice anything unusual.

 

“Scratches.” Min Zhi looked at him. “Did his family do it?”

 

“En.”

 

“Why are you here?” Fang Fengzhi asked him.

 

But Min Zhi did not answer. Instead, he looked at the marks on his face with a dull look, then took Fang Fengzhi’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”

 

Fang Fengzhi didn’t move. “To where?”

 

“Go back with me.”

 

“No.” Fang Fengzhi retracted his hand and looked aside. “The doctor said that he needs my pheromones, so I can’t leave for the time being.”

 

Min Zhi looked at him and frowned unconsciously.

 

Indeed, as Fu Baiqi’s nominal wife, Fang Fengzhi should stay by his side at this time, and Fu Baiqi still needs his pheromones. Morally speaking, he should not leave.

 

But when he caught the scent of pheromones on Fang Fengzhi that didn’t belong to him, ones from another Alpha, a surge of possessiveness welled up inside him. He just wanted to take this Omega back to his own place.

 

He was soft and delicate, he could only end up getting bullied.

 

“I don’t feel at ease about you.”

 

“What?” Fang Fengzhi stared blankly at the man who had just said that.

 

Seeing that the man didn’t repeat himself, Fang Fengzhi pressed on, unwilling to let it go. “Why don’t you feel at ease about me?”

 

Min Zhi looked at the Omega, torn by a surge of moral conflict rising from within. He knew the Omega was waiting for his answer. He knew he shouldn’t respond now, doing so would make him a complete bastard, the kind who seduces someone else’s spouse. But if he didn’t say it, he was even more unwilling. He wanted to use this answer to bind Fang Fengzhi to him right now, to give him something to hold onto, to keep anyone else from touching him. He wanted him to remain chaste for him, a third party.

 

Min Zhi felt like he was about to be torn into two separate people, and maybe he would’ve hesitated a little longer. But when he saw Fang Fengzhi’s timid yet hopeful eyes, the conflicting parts of him fused into one.

 

He spoke. “Why don’t you give it a try… with me?”

 

“What?”

 

Min Zhi looked at him and repeated, “Do you want to be with me?”

 

Fang Fengzhi could feel his heart pounding wildly. The more his heart was stirred in moments like this, the harder it was to forget that he was still someone else’s spouse. A wave of guilt surged to its peak within him. “N-no, I can’t.”

 

As soon as he said it, he seemed afraid that Min Zhi might actually agree and let it go just like that. He hurriedly grabbed his hand and added, “Wait till I get a divorce.”
