Returning home, after shou took a shower, he turned on the communicator to read the email from the secretary. He remembered that there was something he needed to tell the alpha this evening, but nearly forgot it because of the unexpected interruption.
He first gave himself an injection of inhibitors and then went to find the other party.
This house is a private residence and does not accept visitors, so there are only two bedrooms. The one where his husband used to live is locked, and the alpha stays in the study, which was temporarily converted into a livable room.
The light in the living room has been turned off, the door of the study is ajar, and the lights are on, but there is no one inside.
Standing at the door, Shou heard footsteps coming from behind. He turned around and found the alpha standing behind him.
The other party had just finished taking a shower. His bathrobe was draped loosely over his body. The darkness from the living room and the light from the study divided his face into two vague parts, lining the abrupt scar on his chest like a dark snake.
“You’re looking for me for something?” The alpha’s voice sounded a little surprised.
Shou nodded and stepped aside.
“You want to come in and talk?” Alpha asked while bracing the door.
“No need,” shou said without wavering, “I will wait for you in the living room.”
“Change your clothes and then come out.”
With that, he turned and walked into the dark living room.

His husband’s family is going to hold a banquet to celebrate the Old Patriarch’s birthday, and it stands to reason that he must attend with his husband.
Shou’s original intention was to inform the alpha to prepare in advance, but he saw a rare hesitation on the other party’s face.
“What’s wrong?”
“Should I meet his relatives?” Alpha asked, “I’m wondering whether it’ll show the cloven foot.”
After all, it is one thing to hide from the eyes of outsiders, and it is another to stand in front of people who are related by blood.
But shou is not worried, because the relationship in his husband’s family is complicated. The parents who have the closest connection passed away early, leaving only the uncle’s generation. Judging from his control of his husband’s past whereabouts, the number of times the other party came home could be counted, so the possibility of being discovered that the alpha is not the original is unlikely.
“It’s okay. I will send you the detailed information about the family members in advance, and you can just follow me when that time comes.”
“Okay,” the alpha said. “I’ll follow your orders.”
Shou was satisfied with the other party’s obedience. He raised his chin to hint that he could go back.
“Good night, rest early.”
Shou leaned on the back of the sofa and looked at the alpha’s back as he walked back to the study, then he suddenly asked, “What’s under that scar of yours?”
He took a glance at it at the door of the study earlier. There were a bunch of numeric patterns in it, but it was too dark to decipher clearly.
“What?” The alpha turned around. Following shou’s gaze, he touched his chest and explained after realizing what he meant. “Oh, it’s an old tattoo. If you don’t like it, I can have it removed.”
Shou raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised by his conscientiousness and cooperation. He got up to go back to his room, but before he left, he threw him these words, “If you don’t bare your chest in front of other people, there is no need.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Two days later, shou asked his assistant to pack up the sorted information, sending it to the alpha in advance. The other party had almost memorized it entirely.
This afternoon, piles and piles of emergencies got him stuck and he couldn’t go back to his residence for the time being, so he asked his assistant to find someone to come and prepare the alpha for the banquet. He was busy in the office until evening, so he just hastily changed his clothes and took the car to return home.
There’s only an hour before the banquet starts. With his identity, it didn’t matter if he was a little late, but shou was used to being on time, so he didn’t get off the car when he arrived at the residence, and just directly notified the alpha to go downstairs.
Five minutes later, the car door opened and someone sat next to him.
Shou opened his eyes and suddenly smelled an unfamiliar scent at that moment.
He turned his head sideways. The alpha was wearing a well-tailored formal suit, sitting upright, with a handsome face facing in front. Sensing his gaze, he turned his head and smiled at him naturally.
Nothing seems wrong, everything is perfect.
The door of the car closed, then the car slowly drove out of the gate of the community.
The lingering scent on his nose became more and more obvious, and he couldn’t ignore it. Shou frowned and realized what the problem was.
“Did you change your perfume?” he asked.
The perfume his husband frequently used was not this one. In order to ensure the consistency of details, he put the same perfume that his husband used in the other party’s bathroom, the alpha doesn’t have the authority to make any changes.
The alpha shook his head and denied it. “No.”
“Then what is this scent?”
“……”
This time, the other party turned silent for a long time, until shou turned his head impatiently, only to see him raise his head, looking directly at shou with strange emotions in his eyes, saying in response,
“It’s my pheromone.”
Shou was stunned for a second.
The next moment, his complexion immediately sank.
“Stop the car,” he said.
