Translator's Notes: I fixed the name of ML, before it was  Fitz, but I saw that the translation was not correct and the name changed to Fei Zi, as in the original.

He Huan and the man's gaze met for an instant, but he quickly looked away.

When he recovered, his palms were sweaty.

He didn't know why he was so nervous, after all, the man had clearly lost his memory.

Gloria simply left He Huan and Li He Yang behind, holding the hem of her dress, she walked towards them excitedly.

She smiled in surprise, "My God, did Azi really come?"

Xu Yihan, who was standing next to Fei Zi, bowed elegantly, "Madam  Gloria , you look very beautiful tonight."

Gloria  covered her mouth, wondering if she was dreaming.

"I asked you so many times and you never showed up, why are you suddenly interested today?"

She knew the other person wouldn't respond, so she directly asked Xu Yihan, "Is there an omega he likes tonight?"

Xu Yihan smiled mysteriously, "Guess."

Gloria  slapped him reproachfully on the shoulder: "Don't confuse me, young man, tell me soon."

Suddenly, Fei Zi spoke, "Your fragrance tonight is very unique."

Gloria  was a little surprised that he'd asked that question.

But since her nephew was rarely interested, she raised her wrist and gladly showed off her new conquest: "Yes! Just perfect, it's the best perfume I've ever used."

Fei Zi slightly lowered his head, the scent of perfume and pheromone were very similar, and what he had sensed earlier was just an illusion.

After a moment, he asked, "Where did you buy that perfume?"

Gloria  was completely baffled: "Are you interested in this?"

She knew her nephew's temper all too well. He was cold and distant, except when it came to studies and training, nothing else piqued her interest.

Xu Yi Han approached her and whispered, "This scent seems to be very similar to the omega he is looking for."

Gloria  widened her beautiful lilac eyes: "My God..."

She was so excited that she wanted to scream, but had to lower her voice, as only she knew how distressed she was: "AZi, do you like any omega?"

Fei Zi nodded, his calm expression revealing no emotion.

Gloria  was used to his cold-heartedness, but as an older figure, she felt she should pass on some practical experience to her "hard-headed" nephew.

"AZi, you should change that cold temper, otherwise you'll scare the adorable omega. By the way, what family is he from?"

Xu Yihan covered his face and chuckled, his shoulders shaking.

Fei Zi rubbed his nose with his finger, with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

Gloria , not understanding: "What happened?"

Xu Yihan was about to speak, when Fei Zi looked at him indifferently.

Xu Yihan promptly hid behind  Gloria , "Dear lady, if you promise to protect my physical integrity, I'll tell you."

Gloria  became even more interested and patted Xu Yihan's hand that was resting on her shoulder, "Little Han, don't be afraid, I will support you."

Xu Yihan with half his face hidden behind her shiny blonde hair, boldly revealed: "You're right, Madam, Fei Zi is too cold, dull and not considerate, so... hahaha, your omega ran away."

He Huan really had plans to escape, he sensed the Alpha's familiar pheromone.

Since  Gloria  was holding people back, it was the perfect opportunity.

He forced his calm and casually chatted with Li He Yang for two more sentences, claiming that he wasn't feeling well and needed to go to the break room.

Li He Yang looked at him meaningfully, "I will accompany you."

The male omega who had had a pleasant conversation with Li He Yang earlier turned pale and glared at him angrily, "Mr. Li, I'll wait for you here, okay?"

He Huan maintained a calm expression, not caring about the other's gaze, what did it have to do with Li He Yang anyway.

He Huan calmly explained, "Mr. Li, it's just a minor discomfort, I can take care of it myself."

Li He Yang gently smiled, "I haven't seen Little Huan for a long time, maybe we can talk for a bit. We exchanged contact information, so we can talk later."

N/T: That Li He Yang scum, what a face.

The omega knew he had no more chance, so he replied dryly: "...Then we'll talk later."

After they entered the break room, Li He Yang carefully poured He Huan a glass of water and added a spoonful of honey, "Are you feeling better?"

The original owner did not like to drink honey, perhaps he was allergic to this type of monosaccharide.

However, because Li He Yang liked it, he always endured the burning sensation in his throat caused by the candy, in order to please that person.

When the original owner was twelve years old, a new family moved in next door to the He family mansion, and it was just the Li family.

At that time, the Li family was nowhere near as prosperous as the He family, and there was little interaction between them.

The Li family tried to approach several times, but He Xun showed great contempt.

The original owner had handsome looks and was an omega, which attracted Li He Yang irresistibly. He created chance encounters and surprises every day, finally managing to strike up a conversation with the original owner.

However, the original owner had a fiance that he had been engaged to since he was a child and didn't dare to get too close to him.

As a result, the original owner still hadn't developed the glands at age 16, was scorned by the groom and bullied at school, resulting in the breakup of the engagement.

During that time, Li He Yang constantly consoled the original owner and genuinely expressed his feelings, finally making the original owner open his heart and depend on him.

Right now, although the Li family was making progress in their business, the distance between them and the He family was still considerable.

The Li family, because the son was especially fond of the original owner, had to approach the He family with a straight face, but they were coldly rejected by He Xun.

He Xun soon arranged a marriage for the original owner, and the newly formed friendship between the two quickly returned to its starting point.

N/T: This is not family, this original owner's family is despicable. Poor him!

The second groom was the son of a great tycoon, known for being a libertine, and his favorite activity was to take advantage of the engagement excuse to legally take advantage of the omega.

N/T: This alpha is disgusting! 

As soon as he got tired of it, he would find an excuse to end the engagement, while providing benefits to the family on the other side by shutting them up.

He Xun, who had just crossed a social class, was unaware of this public truth and immediately approached the tycoon's son when he saw his interest in the original owner.

He Huan thought that even if He Xun found out the truth, he probably wouldn't let go of the benefits at his disposal.

The rich tycoon's son was very fond of the original owner's face, but the original owner's glands did not mature.

Medically speaking, the maturation of the omega glands occurs between the ages of 12 and 14, at age 16 they begin to release pheromones, indicating the ability to bond with an alpha and have offspring.

Some may have a late development, until the age of 17 or 18.

However, even at the age of 18, the original owner's glands still failed to develop.

Without the fusion of pheromones, how could there be happiness for an omega?

The enraged rich tycoon's son not only called off the wedding, but also gave He Xun a stern lesson.

This anger, of course, also spread to He Huan.

He was insulted and locked in his house by his family, starving and without water...

Whenever He Xun suffered a disappointment away from home and came back drunk causing trouble, his grandmother used to beat him up.

It was at this time that the Li family reached out to him and helped him.

He Xun had to lower his status and bond with the Li family.

Perhaps touched by Li He Yang's sincerity, He Xun agreed to the marriage between him and the original owner.

At that time, the original owner was happy for a long time, finally getting rid of the He family, and thrilled to finally be loved and cared for by someone.

Back then, he still didn't know that it was just the beginning of another nightmare.

After the marriage engagement was established, Li He Yang, unusually, began to ignore the original owner.

The original owner, who was already used to Li He Yang's kind treatment, suddenly became anxious, not knowing what he had done wrong, and could only endlessly apologize.

Li He Yang started to mention the original owner's inability to release pheromone information, blaming him for not being able to calm his spirit energy.

The original owner fell into deep self-condemnation, feeling guilty for letting Li He Yang down.

Especially when thinking of all the effort Li He Yang had put in for him, he tried his best to submit to Li He Yang's wishes.

One day, Li He Yang made a serious request to the original owner.

The original owner was overjoyed to hear that Li He Yang wanted to invite his family on a sea voyage to strengthen family ties, and he readily accepted.

Later, the original owner found out that it was a carefully planned trap.

The aim was to leave He Xun stranded at sea, unable to participate in a tender for a project.

This project was very important to He Xun, and everything was already prepared, but because of this trip, he couldn't sign the contract and ended up being deceived by the excuse that the two families were related.

When He Xun came back, everything was already decided.

From then on, the two families became enemies and even fought several court battles.

The original owner went through a period of suffering, as if he was living a life worse than death.

"Xiao Huan, what are you thinking?" Li He Yang sat down next to him with a gentle gaze.

Huan looked up, the honey in the glass of water was already completely dissolved, dyeing it a light yellow color.

He put the glass aside and smiled slightly, "I don't like honey water."

Li He Yang was momentarily perplexed and then laughed, "But you used to love drinking, didn't you?"

He thought that Huan was just teasing him, but seeing the calm expression on his face, it looked like he was relating a fact.

Huan supported his face with the back of his hand, lazily relaxing on the soft back of the chair and looking at him from the side, "I get tired of drinking the same thing for a long time, now I like drinking alcohol."

Li He Yang laughed, "You really have changed a lot, you used to hate alcohol."

In the gloom of the hall, in the soft light, the person he had admired in his youth was wrapped in an aura of ambiguity, as beautiful as an oil portrait hanging in a gallery.

He no longer had the innocence and docility he used to have, nor did he evoke the same compassion he did during live broadcasts.

The current He Huan looked very unfamiliar, strange enough to provoke his desire to challenge. He liked that sense of newness.

Li He Yang looked significantly at He Huan and said, "I also like to drink, want a drink?"

He Huan waved his feet up and down nonchalantly and replied, "Of course."

Li He Yang's gaze was drawn to He Huan's toes, which were curled and intertwined, causing an inexplicable itching sensation.

He didn't know if He Huan had understood the invitation he had just issued.

But there was no hurry, the night was just beginning, there was plenty of time.

The red wine glided smoothly across the crystal wall, like silk, exuding a soft glow.

Li He Yang replaced it with the cup of water: "Try it, it's Garnet Rouge, a wine much appreciated by omegas."

He Huan brought it to his nose and smelled the fruity and sweet aroma, very good.

Li He Yang saw him tilt his head back slightly, his scarlet lips touched the translucent crystal goblet, and the vibrant tone of the wine could not hide the color of his lips.

This wine was called Garnet Rouge, but he thought He Huan's lips matched that name more.

Her pale neck fluttered slightly, revealing a brown shadow on her collarbone.

Li He Yang mistakenly thought that what was flowing down his throat was not red wine, but…

He Huan tasted superficially, without delving deeper, with his eyes half-closed, he caught sight of Li He Yang's deepening gaze and displayed a smile of bewilderment.

That smile made Li He Yang's mouth go dry, his gaze fixed on the wine stain at the corners of He Huan's lips, if only he could moisten his own lips with this leftover wine...

Li He Yang uncontrollably leaned towards him, whispering hoarsely in his ear, "That was your pheromone, wasn't it?"

He Huan neither dodged nor avoided, with an enigmatic smile, "What do you think?"

Li He Yang could smell the alcohol on his breath, quite intoxicating.

"It smells great, and it suits me well. If you'd matured earlier, we wouldn't have wasted all those years for nothing."

He stretched out his arms, leaning on the arms of He Huan's chair, enveloping him in his arms, leaning forward to face him.

He Huan played with the tie he released, his eyes slightly raised in a pale red hue, "Your words have ambiguity, what did I do wrong for you to point out, and, what is your position?"

Li He Yang momentarily tensed, flashing a conciliatory smile, "It was my mistake. How about you give me a chance to make up for my own mistake? Think about it."

He Huan didn't expect him to be so bold, pulling his tie and smirking, "That depends on your performance."

Li He Yang caught his breath as he saw his reflection in his night-black eyes, feeling a uneasiness in his chest, wanting to take care of him.

"Xiao Huan, I..."

He lowered his head, determined to capture those red lips that tortured him, driving him to doom.

"He Huan, I need to talk to you..."

The door to the break room was abruptly thrown open, Gloria's voice cutting like a knife, instantly silent.

Li He Yang felt his veins pulsing as he had to pull away from He Huan.

He took a deep breath, not showing any displeasure on his face, "Ma'am, what brings you here to speak with He Huan?"

He noticed that behind  Gloria  were two alpha males, the star-like figures who had caused all the commotion.

Observing their intimate stance with  Gloria , they probably had considerable influence.

Not knowing if it was just an illusion, the tall alpha fixed him with an especially cold gaze. Even though he wasn't emitting pheromones, this man's imposing pressure made him uncomfortable.

He Huan didn't expect that even if he was hiding in the break room, he would still be found by someone.

For some unknown reason, he felt uncomfortable, unable to face the person at the front door.

Mrs. Gloria , with her exceptional social skills, quickly brushed aside the awkwardness and told Li He Yang, "He Yang, I apologize for disturbing you. Could I borrow He Huan for a moment?"

Li He Yang was about to say "with pleasure", but he suddenly remembered when He Huan questioned his position. The words that were about to come out of his mouth changed to: "Ms.  Gloria , He Huan still hasn't granted me the authority to control you."

Gloria , remembering the intimacy between the two before, thought that an old relationship was being rekindled.

She made an encouraging gesture towards Li He Yang, "Go ahead, win his love as soon as possible."

Li He Yang slightly curved the corners of his mouth, his confident smile solidified when he saw that tall and handsome alpha approaching He Huan.

Fei Zi approached He Huan, holding a small bottle of perfume in his palm. It was exactly the gift that He Huan had given  Gloria  earlier.

"Hello, may I ask how you got that perfume bottle?"

He Huan regretted his generosity a little and was irritated by the man's persistence.

It was nothing more than a brief chance encounter, something alphas don't do much about, so why does he keep chasing me?

He Huan coldly replied, "I bought it."

"Where did you buy?"

He Huan frowned, "Why so many questions?"

Gloria , for the first time, saw that an omega was not interested in her nephew, a little surprised, she approached to explain.

"The scent of this perfume is very similar to the omega that AZi likes, so he wanted to find this omega through the seller."

"I'm the seller myself, how could I tell you?"

He Huan: "It was during a long trip, I smelled this perfume on an omega beside me and thought it was really good, so I asked him where he bought it."

"Do you remember his name?" asked Fei Zi, with a subtly anxious look.

He Huan, however, was easily provoked by his gaze, and her heart began to beat faster.

For the past few days, he's been using his magic to remove the marks, freeing himself from dependence on the alphas during the mating season. However, that doesn't mean he's completely free of the alpha's influence.

On the contrary, your body still yearns intensely for the alphas that marked it.

For example, right now, the alpha is standing in front of him, an irresistible temptation. Just extend your hand and his body will be quenched.

"I didn't ask his name." He Huan felt like exploding, but he managed to control himself.

The hospital experience was repeating itself again. He smelled the alpha's familiar pheromones, a cold, metallic sensation, like a dangerous weapon pressed against his body, making him shiver with the desire to submit.

"Is that the scent of Mrs.  Gloria 's perfume ?" Li He Yang suddenly spoke.

"Yes you know?" Gloria replied  .

Fei Zi and Xu Yihan turned their heads to look at him.

He Huan felt his heart leap when he realized that earlier, in the lobby, he had released his pheromone towards Li He Yang.

Alphas have keen senses, and Li He Yang probably noticed that the scent of perfume and its pheromones were very similar.

He Huan looked at Li He Yang with cold, dark eyes.

Suddenly, Li He Yang smiled and his eyes swept over all the people present, until he stopped on He Huan, as he quietly said, “No, I just found this aroma to be very special. Perhaps, in the future, if I meet someone related to this, I can let you know."

Gloria  expressed a disappointed "Ah": "Well, thanks anyway."

She could hardly believe that she couldn't identify this omega, after her nephew finally became interested in an omega.

Fei Zi cast a cold gaze at He Huan and Li He Yang, as if looking for something.

Calm and unflappable, it was impossible to decipher his thoughts at that moment.

Only He Huan was able to feel the cold sweat running down his body and his pheromone acting.

Fei Zi suddenly addressed He Huan, "Can I ask you a favor?"

He Huan's fingertips trembled, it felt like his feet were pulling away from the ground, he couldn't stand his ground.

If only he could find a wall to lean against, like he did in the hospital, he feared collapsing onto the couch at any second.

"Can you release some of your pheromone?"

Fei Zi's request surprised everyone present.

Immediately,  Gloria  said, "AZi, I understand that you are anxious, but making such a request to an omega is somewhat unreasonable."

It was a very ambiguous proposal, equivalent to asking for a kiss.

Xu Yihan also said, "Yes, Fei Zi, if he was your omega, you would have a reaction when you approached him, and you would also be able to sense his pheromone, but He Huan doesn't show any reaction."

No reaction?

Fei Zi was much taller than He Huan, he firmly looked at his reddened cheeks and calmly said, "Sorry, this proposal really offended you, but I will make it up to you."

He Huan bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, causing pain to clear his mind.

The pheromone released by the other person was getting stronger and stronger, he felt that his back was completely wet.

He could only clasp his hands together to keep from losing control, not realizing that his eyes were already filled with tears, shining with a loving glow.

He Huan saw everyone waiting for his answer.

He took a few deep breaths before he managed to speak with difficulty, "Compensation? If I say that after releasing my pheromone, you must get married, would you agree?"

Fei Zi frowned, his handsome face filled with thoughts.

He Huan sneered, "Looks like you also know that your request is very rude, I don't mind any compensation, I..."

He didn't have the strength to continue talking, the other person intensified the pheromone release.

Like sea water, it enveloped him completely, leaving him almost breathless.

"And what did you…?" Fei Zi raised an eyebrow, looking at him calmly.

He was doing it on purpose!

He Huan was enraged at her meanness.

He swallowed hard, cursing his instinctual body's betrayal, every inch of his skin crying out to merge with the man in front of him.

Finally, unable to withstand the invasion of the other's pheromone, He Huan's body swayed.

Fei Zi grabbed his arm quickly, surprised that his body temperature was so high, he could feel it even through two layers of fabric.

He Huan, on the contrary, felt as if he had been burned by that person and quickly brushed Fei Zi's hand away.

That previous brief touch made all his blood boil, wanting to be embraced tightly by the man, lean against his firm chest, be enveloped by his strength...

Seeing the situation,  Gloria  quickly intervened, "Fei Zi, it looks like He Huan isn't feeling well. Let's let him rest without disturbing him."

Suddenly, Xu Yihan stopped her, smiling as he watched He Huan's staggering figure, "Fei Zi is not someone so hulking. Perhaps He Huan is the omega he is looking for?"

He Huan regretted coming to this event and cast an angry glare at Xu Yihan.

He decided that he would hate these two alphas and in the future would avoid meeting them at all costs.

Li He Yang pushed off his glasses and walked over to He Huan's side, adopting a protective posture, and said, "Mr. Fei Zi, you made such an unreasonable demand. As He Huan's suitor, I will not stand idly by."

Li He Yang's pheromone was of herbal fragrance, blocking Fei Zi's pheromones from the outside and giving He Huan a chance to breathe a little.

Fei Zi looked at Li He Yang without facial expression, being easily overwhelmed by the superior's presence.

He said coolly, "I'm not seeking your opinion."

Li He Yang's face slightly contorted, not because of that sentence, but because it was crushed by the other's overbearing and arrogant pheromones.

The moment the pheromones were nullified, Li He Yang turned pale and irritated, asking, "Is it really necessary?"

Fei Zi this time didn't even look at him, directing his gaze directly at He Huan.

Xu Yihan took two steps forward, "Weren't you releasing pheromones in search of a suitable alpha during the party? Why are you now pretending to be reserved? Don't be so old-fashioned, young people don't follow these rules of elders anymore."

Xu Yihan met He Huan's increasingly cold gaze and continued chattering, "All you need to do is agree to let Fei Zi smell your pheromones. Afterwards, you can make any requests as long as they are not excessive. This is one unique opportunity, so take advantage."

Who the hell is interested in this opportunity?

He Huan wanted to curse, he was also irritated by Li He Yang's ineffectiveness, not even managing to establish a pheromone barrier.

He barely managed to say "I decline" when the other person's pheromones intensified without restraint.

He Huan felt dizzy, and if it weren't for Li He Yang supporting him, he would certainly have collapsed onto the sofa.

Fei Zi looked at Li He Yang's hand resting on He Huan's shoulder, and his gaze grew even colder.

Gloria  felt guilty seeing the coercion he was facing.

Her expression was already a little unpleasant as she held Fei Zi back: "AZi! Don't be so cruel to an omega. He just went through a bad time and you..."

He Huan clenched his teeth, "I agree."

He understood the situation. This man called Fei Zi is seriously suspecting him, and unless he clears things up, he won't be released.

Rather than revealing your identity, it's better to completely dispel the other's suspicions.

Fei Zi silently looked at him, with an expression of conviction, "It will take work."

He Huan laughed wryly, "Then you have to smell good, and the words you said before must be fulfilled."

Fei Zi: "Okay."

Xu Yihan clapped his hands and smiled, "Great, let's go first, you two can talk freely."

She dragged Li He Yang, who was reluctant, outside.

"Clack!" The lounge door closed.

In the cozy and dark environment, only He Huan and Fei Zi were left.
