After giving birth to Chu Xinglin, the Empress could work in the research institute.
The Old Marshal also said that he was raised by the queen, so he should have lived in the research institute for some time when he was young… until after the big change, when the queen was put under house arrest by the emperor. He was sent to the orphanage and was taken home by the Old Marshal after the queen passed away.
“Why did Empress Gu… want to support me in the research institute?”
The old marshal thought for a while, and it seemed that this question was difficult to answer.
“Maybe you were too young at that time, so you don’t remember.”
“At that time, you were suffering from a serious disease, and your life might be threatened if you didn’t live in the Research Institute.”
“But after you recovered from the illness, you could go to an ordinary orphanage. In order not to let other people know of your illness and look at you differently, he told me not to tell others that you used to live in the Research Institute.”
“…So that’s how it is.”
The words of the Marshal reminded Gu Huan of what was written in the experiment notebook, and then he frowned. Why did the queen record things about him in an experiment notebook…
Is that sickness really a sickness, or is it just a cover?
When he thought that Empress Gu Nan liked to study spiritual power, Gu Huan’s brows furrowed even deeper.
He is now suspecting that the reason why the queen kept him is not for any other reason, but because he is the experimental subject of the laboratory.
He must carefully check the contents of Chu Fengyuan’s research room, maybe he can find out something related to him higher-up? Gu Huan was deep in his thoughts.
The old marshal slightly shook his head.
“Speaking of which, A-Nan’s death day is coming soon. A few years ago, I couldn’t tell you about it. This year… you should go to the tomb too. A-Nan definitely misses you.”
“…”
It turns out that he has a very good relationship with Queen Gu Nan, so he can fully imagine why the original owner was unwilling to visit on the Queen’s death anniversary,
Because Chu Shengyun would also be there.
The azalea in the potted plant swayed, and the moment Gu Huan lowered his eyelashes, he softly asked.
“Don’t you hate…His Majesty?”
Gu Zehai pondered,
“I can’t say I don’t hate him, but seeing how he has tortured me these years, I have a feeling that letting him live in pain is much better than killing him, that would cause chaos in the empire, making people miserable. Besides, he is Xinglin’s father. No matter how much I hate him, I will restrain my feelings.”
“This student understands.” Gu Huan lightly nodded.
Maybe it’s because this topic was too heavy, the Old Marshal gently coughed and changed the subject.
“What were you busy with yesterday? Didn’t you promise to meet General Ye’s son and give him your contact information? General Ye had been waiting for you all day, and you haven’t contacted his son. You don’t want to see him anymore?”
Hearing the Old Marshal mention it, Gu Huan remembered that there was such a thing, and pursed his lips.
“There was a little delay yesterday, teacher.”
“I’ll contact him now.”
He originally thought that the incident had come to an end, but he unexpectedly met Ye Qiyan’s father again and he strongly urged him to meet Ye Qiyan.

If Ye Qiyan still has hope in himself, then he should make things clear.

“In this short holiday, there are quite a few people on blind dates.”
“I just went to the palace to meet His Majesty. Xinglin is also on a blind date.”
Gu Huan’s fingers that were about to send out the message slightly paused.
He raised his jaw, looked at the Old Marshal who was lost in thought, and asked softly, “Blind date?”
“By the way, it’s the little star who sang very well last time. He has a good family background. The last time he came to the banquet to sing, it was probably arranged by Chu Shengyun on purpose. Xinglin is just like you, the other half’s affairs are truly worrying, sigh.”
The General standing next to the Old Marshal waved away the chat he had just opened without a trace.
[Capital star]
Ye Qiyan waited and waited at the door of the coffee shop, and finally saw a young man wearing sunglasses leaving a car from the corner of his eye and his eyes lit up immediately.
“General Gu!”
Just as he said the word General, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately shut his mouth. He couldn’t reveal the general’s name.
Just as Gu Huan got out of the car, seeing the fair-looking omega desperately waving at him, he paused slightly, and calmly walked forward.
Fortunately, Ye Qiyan was very disciplined and neither threw himself on Gu Huan, nor grabbed his arm.
With his hands behind his back, the omega chatted with the alpha, who had been keeping a cold face, discussing what delicious things this coffee shop had.
Gu Huan showed the polite detachment that a qualified person forced by his elders to go on a date should have.
Patiently and calmly listening to him.
After the milk tea and coffee were ordered at the same time.
The omega bit the straw and closed his dry mouth after all that talking. Gu Huan also picked up his coffee, took a sip, and heard the omega say,
“I know you must have been forced to meet me here.”
“It’s all my fault that I told my father about you, making him misunderstand.”
“…”
“I didn’t mean to force you to see me…but you promised to come to see me, and I can’t refuse such a good opportunity.” Ye Qiyan said truthfully.
After all, everyone has selfish intentions. He admitted that while he was complaining about why his father made such an unnecessary effort, he still felt a little excited.
He was finally able to meet the person he liked again.
“…” Gu Huan put down his coffee cup and opened his lips lightly, “I know.”
Ye Qiyan was restless. “General, aren’t you angry?”
“No.”
Seeing that the General said it with a cold expression, Ye Qiyan wryly smiled.
He knew that the general was not angry because he had long regarded meeting him as a task that had to be completed, and it didn’t matter who he was.
But this time, he didn’t come to meet Gu Huan to confess his love.
“General, I came to you today to tell you that I have dropped out of the omega training school.”
The omega training school is a school that only omegas can go to. Daily lessons were to learn etiquette, how to dress up, how to serve an alpha, how to control their pheromones, how to take care of children, and how to make an alpha like them more.
Omegas in such a big family like his have to consider marriage since they are born, so they basically only go to this kind of school. It is the dream of many omegas to get a graduation certificate from this kind of school, because omegas who come out of this school will definitely not worry about not finding any alphas.
Gu Huan frowned slightly.
“After leaving it, what are you going to do?”
Ye Qiyan’s fair face seemed to be shining with a layer of holy light, like he had a brightly shining dream.
“I want to be admitted to the First Military Academy, just like Lin Shuyan.”
“…” Gu Huan looked at Ye Qiyan with admiration. It is commendable that he can get out of his comfort zone.
From the face that had been indifferent from the very beginning, a faint smile flashed across it.
“I wish you success.”
Ye Qiyan blushed and lowered his head.
“If I can hear you say this, I was not here in vain this time.”
Letting the person he likes hear that he is working hard to change is the greatest encouragement to him.
Holding the coffee cup with his fingers, Gu Huan gently said.
“I hope you can find your alpha after you are admitted to the military academy.”
Ye Qiyan shook his head heavily.
“I will definitely not find anyone else.”
“As long as you don’t have somebody you like, I will always…”
“Who said that I don’t have anyone I like?”
Gu Huan’s plain words were like a thunderbolt, causing Ye Qiyan’s pupils to instantly dilate, and his voice was full of disbelief.
“Do you…have someone?”
Gu Huan slightly tilted his head, tapped his temple with his slender index finger, looked out the window, then turned his head, nodding and softly replying,
“I do.”
Because of that award ceremony, he thought clearly. He was indeed tempted by Chu Xinglin.
He doesn’t like to deceive himself.
To be tempted is to be tempted after all.
Gu Huan’s eyes fell on the heartbroken Ye Qiyan.
“So don’t use me as a goal to enter the military academy. Now that you have dropped out of the omega training school, think clearly about it again.”
Ye Qiyan couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes, but he still responded.
“I understand, General.”
Gu Huan took another sip of coffee.
After thanking him for the delicious coffee, he stood up.
Before leaving his seat, Ye Qiyan mustered up the courage to ask him, “General, the person you like, do they like you back?”
A flash of light flashed across the golden eyes.
The general’s cold voice faintly sounded. “They do.”
He trusted Chu Xinglin, so he believed that the blind date witnessed by the Old Marshal must have been arranged by Chu Shengyun without Chu Xinglin’s consent.
He didn’t tell Chu Xinglin that he also went on a blind date.
It was because he was afraid of Chu Xinglin thinking too much, and would believe that he was angry with him, therefore, he also found a blind date to meet.
So he didn’t tell Chu Xinglin, but quietly met with Ye Qiyan and left.
“General. Your mental strength today is a little more unstable than yesterday.” Xiao Ling reminded him.
“……Mm.”
Even without Xiao Ling’s reminder, he also felt a wave of restlessness.
He took off his clothes and walked to the bathroom. As he lightly touched the gland at the back of his neck with his fingers, his eyes flickered slightly, and regret flashed across his eyes.
He really should have let Chu Xinglin bite him yesterday.
In case the other party has a blind date with an omega and wants to marry him in the future, he certainly won’t be able to use this first-rate “inhibitor” afterwards. Who knows how long it will take him to find the next alpha?
Now that it is truly a multipurpose single use only,
Why should he be so restrained?
Turning on the shower head, the water from the shower concentrated on his neck and the black-haired person standing in the water let out a sigh… He quickly finished the shower, wrapped himself in a black bathrobe, walked to the sofa and nestled up.
Gu Huan was in a rarely seen daze for a while.
Looking sideways, he saw a coat on the sofa. It was probably left by Chu Xinglin, because his own coat will be put back in the dimension wardrobe, and will never be placed on the sofa.
Hooking the jacket with his fingers, Gu Huan raised his head, revealing his well-shaped collarbone and protruding Adam’s apple. It seemed as if he had accidentally pulled the coat, and without a thought, he put it over his head, instantly turning his body to nestle in an inward position.
His entire upper body was covered by the large coat and only his twisting white legs were exposed. The buttock’s shape wasn’t clearly visible due to the loose bathrobe and…
“Gu Huan.”
“What are you doing?”
The golden eyelashes slightly trembled.
