Qu Moyu shuttled between the guests. He was busy fulfilling the obligations of a host’s hospitality. He was holding a wine glass in his right hand and his fiancée in the crook of his left arm. This was the first time they met. He should have been gentle and considerate, to gain a little understanding, and to lay a good foundation for a harmonious married life in the future. He was absent-minded. Whenever he had free time, he quickly checked his mobile phone. He was waiting for his people to find out the whereabouts of his mother and Shen Dai.

Today is his engagement day. From negotiating the marriage, publishing the invitations, and preparing the engagement banquet, it was hastily completed in one week. He was so busy all day that he couldn’t get out. Thinking that his mother would cause him trouble at this time, he could only deal with it in a low-key manner and talk about it with her when he had time tomorrow.

“Brother Yu, do you have something to deal with? Let me take care of the people here for a while.” The person beside him gave him a decent smile.

His fiancee’s name is Zhou Xiaochu. His grandfather is a banker with a prominent family background. He is an S-class omega, with extraordinary appearance, a superior background, studied art in a famous school, and has a gentle and low-key personality. Like many omegas from powerful families, he was raised as the wife candidate of an S-class alpha since he was a child. This marriage will benefit the business, cultivation, and taste impeccably.

This is the wife candidate that satisfies Qu Moyu. He knew at a very young age what kind of omega he would marry in the future. And if he could enter the screening framework, he didn’t need the condition of ‘liking’ someone at all. The most important was that the person was ‘not disgusting’. And that is enough. Everything can be clearly priced. Only ‘liking’ someone is a trick with inflated valuations.

Shen Dai’s face appeared in front of him again. Qu Moyu couldn’t help being anxious. Ever since he knew that Shen Dai was taken away, it have been difficult to calm down his emotions. He glanced at the phone again, and then smiled politely at Zhou Xiaochu: “There is indeed something to do. I’ll ask you to take care of things here. I’ll go and make a call.”

Qu Moyu walked to the terrace and called Lao Wu.

“Hey, Mr. Qu.” Lao Wu sighed when he opened his mouth, “I’m sorry, I haven’t found them yet. Madam must have expected that we would send someone to look for them. She used a different car and hired unknown people to ensure that we will not find them. “

“Keep looking. There’s no need to let my dad know about this kind of thing.” Qu Moyu said with a sullen face.

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Qu Moyu kicked the flower bed in anger. He took a few deep breaths to control the surging pheromones in his body.

His father has warned him to deal with Shen Dai’s matter as soon as possible. If this matter is known, he would be scolded. He can’t stand that he can’t control his omega. It’s too embarrassing. He didn’t need to investigate the whole thing. He could already guess that Aunt Lan had tipped his mother about it. The nanny who brought him up since he was a child and his biological mother actually joined forces to deal with him. As well as Shen Dai, who disobeyed again and again. This caused him to burn with anger.

Why can’t Shen Dai be like other omegas? He couldn’t tell for a while whether Shen Dai wanted too little or too much.

Qu Moyu adjusted his expression and returned to the splendid banquet hall again. He was surprised to find that his mother was standing beside his father without looking abnormal.

Qu Moyu strode over. In front of Qu Shen, he couldn’t ask questions directly. He just frowned at Mrs. Qu.

Mrs. Qu looked at him like nothing was wrong: “Where’s your fiancée? Bring me to meet him .”

Zhou Xiaochu just happened to come over and greeted his future parents-in-law generously. Mrs. Qu chatted with him with a kind smile. Qu Shen whispered to his son about business affairs. Qu Moyu couldn’t find a chance to be alone for a while to question his mother.

Seeing that all the guests had arrived, a simple engagement ceremony was held together under the co-presidency of Qu Shen and the Zhou’s elders. The biggest significance of this evening is the overwhelming press release tomorrow and the stock price that will definitely rise. Obviously it’s a business cooperation and most of the people present today are only here for the value that they could get. But everyone’s words must still be pretentious with love, wishing them a ‘happy marriage’.

There was a fake smile on Qu Moyu’s face. Under this perfectly shining body, he was constantly suppressing and adjusting his state. What the hell happened tonight? He was flustered. His emotions fluctuate greatly. Shen Dai’s face kept appearing in front of him, and all kinds of expressions of his in his mind made him have a bad premonition. Of the storms he has been through in his life, none of them alone could cause him more anxiety than Shen Dai. It can’t even be called a major crisis. How could he be so anxious? It doesn’t make sense.

His face began to sweat and he couldn’t sit still. Even Qu Shen noticed something was wrong with him, and said in a low voice, “You drink less.”

This is not because of alcohol. He doesn’t know what happened to his body. The fluctuation of pheromones is getting bigger and bigger. He must pay attention to control himself to prevent the release of pheromones at an untimely moment. He has a kind of a very unfamiliar perception at the moment. An indistinguishable and difficult to define moment. It made him anxious, fearful, flustered, and uncomfortable. He determined that this perception was related to Shen Dai.

His body swayed and if he hadn’t grabbed the armrest of the chair back in time, he might have made a fool of himself on the spot.

“What happened to you?”

“Haha! Drinking too much? Too happy.”

“Oh, your face is pale. Drink less. Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

Qu Moyu put down the glass and smiled dryly: “I’m sorry, I’ll go to the bathroom.”

Zhou Xiaochu asked gently, “Do you want me to accompany you?”

“No need.” Qu Moyu walked to the bathroom without looking back.

When he saw his pale face in the mirror, he was stunned for more than ten seconds. The S-class alpha’s physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people. He rarely gets sick. If nothing happens and his body is obviously well, it is mostly related to pheromone fluctuations. His pheromone will not have such big fluctuations for no reason. This situation has never happened before him ‘marking’ Shen Dai. But it has been frequently influenced by Shen Dai since then. So what happened to him now? Or in other words, what happened to Shen Dai? !

There will be nothing wrong with Shen Dai.. No, Shen Dai is leaving with his mother. What is the difficulty of settling down as an adult who can take care of himself?

But why is he so restless? An inexplicable emotion constantly intrudes on his mind and judgement. He doesn’t care about other things at all. At this moment, the strongest thought is to find Shen Dai and confirm Shen Dai safety immediately.

He looked at his watch and saw that the engagement banquet was far from over. It was not impossible for him to leave on the grounds of his health. Although it would certainly lead to dissatisfaction from his father and the Zhou family, who would dare to talk too much? What really worried him was that he had the idea of ??leaving early to find Shen Dai during his engagement banquet. So impulsive, emotional, and ignorant. This should not be something he would have thought and much less something he would have done.

Is he crazy?

After staying in the bathroom for ten minutes and washing his face with cold water several times, Qu Moyu found that he still couldn’t resolve the anxiety. He pressed his heart with his hand, wrinkling the expensive custom suit. The pheromones went rampage in his body. Now as long as one is not careful, he just needs a little stimulation and he may hurt people. In this state, he couldn’t go back to the banquet at all. He turned on his mobile phone and called his mother.

“Mother, I’m not feeling well. Come to the bathroom alone.”

Qu Moyu’s hoarse voice did not seem to be fake and Mrs. Qu was also worried. She quickly rushed to the bathroom and locked the door.

The high-grade fragrance in the bathroom mixed with the smell of ebony pheromone can force any omega who steps in here to get out. But there is a type of people in this world who have a very high resistance to the pheromone of an S-class alpha. That is their mother.

Mrs. Qu saw that Qu Moyu’s face had lost all colour so she ran over to support him in fright: “What’s the matter with you? What’s wrong?”

Qu Moyu grabbed Mrs. Qu’s wrist, stared into her eyes and said solemnly, “Where is Shen Dai?”

Madam Qu frowned.

“Mom!”

“You don’t have to care where he is. It doesn’t matter. Today is your engagement day. Take care of your future wife.”

“Shen Dai is my omega. Why did you take him away? What’s your qualification to do so? How can you do such an irrational thing? Do you know..”

“He’s not your omega anymore.” Mrs. Qu looked into Qu Moyu’s eyes and said calmly.

Qu Moyu was stunned: “..what do you mean?”

“I told you to leave him alone. I’ve already handled it for you.” Mrs. Qu’s expression was tense. Her emotions were unreadable. “He’s going to have an operation right now to wash off the ‘mark’ and knock out the child.”

Qu Moyu’s body felt like it was casted in a body-fixing spell. He stared blankly at the bright marble floor.

The problem was solved. Shen Dai followed his orders. Hewashed off the mark, knocked out the child, and he didn’t even need to face Shen Dai’s emotional pressure. His mother had solved it for him.

Isn’t this exactly what he wanted? But why does his heart chamber hurt like it’s about to burst? It’s a real pain that is concretized and about to cause convulsions. It made him feel the fear of suffocation in the next minute.

Is it because of the ‘mark’. It is because the pheromone that he and Shen Dai originally merged with was cut off. So his body would have such a big reaction. It must be that. Otherwise, he cannot explain the source of this dark anxiety.

Shen Dai is no longer his omega. He is no longer Shen Dai’s alpha.

Even the little life they bred together was gone. It was as if the line that connected the two of them broke in an instant.
