IM Chapter 43

“Talking about the next next life is a bit early.” Shen ChiTai said, gently taking his hand and placing a newly folded blue paper crane in his palm, “I’ve only just realized that I really can’t be without you. You can’t expect a lone goose that’s left the flock to migrate south on its own, can you?”

Shang Jue looked down at the paper crane lying quietly in his palm. The person who folded it was very skilled. The wings on both sides of the paper crane had no creases, and every detail was handled with extreme care.

“Brother, what I said before was all from the heart. We’re destined not to be strangers in this lifetime. We’re destined to love each other. It’s fate.” Shang Jue looked up, his eyes fixed on Shen ChiTai, the deep affection overflowing in his eyes causing the omega’s heart to skip a beat.

“I know, I know everything.” Shen ChiTai nodded slightly, tears glistening in his eyes.

“Your body isn’t feeling well right now, and cats have a lot of bacteria, so you can’t go to the cat cafe for the time being.” Shang Jue said, brooking no argument.

“I know, hurry up and go to the company.” Shen ChiTai urged him.

“Is my brother urging me to leave?” Shang Jue said, feigning grievance.

The omega stared at his mischievous face with a scrutinizing gaze, and retorted, “I’m not.” Although he did feel that way a little bit in his heart, he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.

Shang Jue didn’t press him. He definitely had to go to the company, but he really couldn’t bear to leave his brother’s side.

In the end, after Shen ChiTai repeatedly assured him, the alpha finally felt relieved and went to the company.

Shang Jue went straight to his father’s office as soon as he got to the company.

He had just arrived at the door when he was stopped by the assistant standing outside. The assistant said with a respectful face, “President Shang was busy processing documents late last night and didn’t lie down until very late.”

Shang Jue frowned.

His father didn’t go home last night and slept at the company. What kind of work could keep him up so late?

He stood at the door for a while, pondered for a moment, and then turned around and left.

Inside the office.

“Baby, don’t be nervous, it’ll really break inside in a while.” Shang Lü’s voice was thick with a nasal tone and urgency.

“Didn’t you Sneeme for being old before?” Xu RuZhou said, pretending to be angry.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m two years older than you, I’m afraid you’ll think I’m old.” Shang Lü said gently, gently holding Xu RuZhou’s restless hand in front of him.

Xu RuZhou chuckled twice, withdrew his hand, wrapped his arms tightly around his neck, and pinched his throat to act coquettishly, “Why don’t we have another child?”

Shang Lü wondered if he was getting old and had tinnitus, looking at him with a dumbfounded expression: ???

He was already the father of three children. If he had another one at this age…

“Your body can’t take it.” The alpha said with a smile.

Xu RuZhou didn’t want him to gloss over the topic, clinging to him relentlessly, and said, “Just tell me, do you want it or not?” He lowered his head and glanced at the man’s crotch, teasing with a wicked smile, “Or could it be that you’re getting old and that thing is no longer active enough?”

Shang Lü’s face instantly darkened.

“I just don’t want to see you torment yourself anymore. I’m already satisfied with these few children. Now, besides you, I don’t want anything.”

The corners of Xu RuZhou’s mouth curled up slightly with proud, and he continued to cling to him coquettishly, “But I want it.”

“RuZhou.” Shang Lü called out helplessly.

“I’m already over forty years old. In a few years, even if you want it, I’ll be powerless.” Xu RuZhou said, feigning grievance.

Shang Lü gently stroked Xu RuZhou’s face, his eyes full of guilt and love, “Why are you so silly? I just want to save all my future time to be with you alone. I know that no matter how hard I try, I can’t make up for all the things I’ve owed you over the years. All I can do now is be good to you.”

“You should save this kind of high-sounding nonsense for your precious sons.” Xu RuZhou said, getting up from the bed, loosely draped in a shirt that was a size larger than his own, and sat down on the sofa next to him with a lazy expression, crossing his legs on the coffee table.

Shang Lü followed closely behind him.

Xu RuZhou casually tossed the lighter in his hand onto the table, held a cigarette between his fingers, took a puff, and the smoke rings he exhaled slowly diffused in the air, the color becoming lighter and lighter, and finally almost disappeared, leaving only a faint smell of smoke inhaled into the nasal cavity with each breath.

Shang Lü sat down opposite him and said seriously, “It’s okay, they’re going to find out about you and me sooner or later anyway.”

Xu RuZhou looked up, gazing meaningfully at the man who said these words, “Are you really planning to tell the children about us?”

“I don’t want to hide you, I’ve already wronged you for many years.” The alpha said.

“Pfft…” Xu RuZhou got up and walked towards him, sitting on the man’s lap without any hesitation, hooking his arms tightly around his neck, and said Coquettish, “You do have a bit of a conscience, but if you suddenly confess to them, won’t it be a bit…”

“It’s okay, the children are very sensible, you don’t need to worry too much.” Shang Lü comforted him.

“I’m not too worried about them, it’s just my stomach.” He looked down at his flat stomach with a helpless expression.

Shang Lü thought he was feeling unwell, and his tone revealed a hint of worry, “What’s wrong with your stomach?”

The omega looked up, his eyes fixed on the man’s eyes, gradually becoming aggrieved, “I ate so much last night, why is there still no reaction here?”

“…” Shang Lü sighed helplessly, held down his restless hand, and took the unburned cigarette from his hand, “A Jue should be coming soon, don’t mess around.”

“Tch.” Xu RuZhou got up from his lap, “I should go back too. Although there’s Xu Chen at the company, he’s still young after all, and he doesn’t consider many things thoroughly.”

He, as the old man, wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but his son’s abilities were not good enough, and he couldn’t stand to watch.

Shang Lü grabbed his wrist, “The children are still young and need plenty of opportunities to train. Weren’t we like that back then?”

“You’re such a nice guy,” Xu RuZhou said, feigning anger, “So I’m the bad guy? You like being a good person so much, how come you can’t be a little biased towards me?”

“RuZhou.”

“You weren’t calling me that when we were galloping on the bed last night, full of affection. What were you calling me? You were calling me baby, and you were calling me wife.” Xu RuZhou raised an eyebrow, lifted his chin, and said with a playful look.

“Ru… wife…” Shang Lü’s ears turned red, and he looked up, forced to meet the omega’s gaze.

“What else?” Xu RuZhou continued to press him.

“Baby, stop teasing me.” Shang Lü begged him helplessly.

“Pfft…” Xu RuZhou pulled his face slightly, “The older you get, the thinner your skin gets. I won’t tease you anymore, I’m going back first.”

“I’ll take you back.” Shang Lü quickly got up to follow him.

Xu RuZhou held his shoulder and said with a smile, “No need to bother, but you can pick me up later to go home.”

“…” Shang Lü was stunned for a moment before smiling softly, “Okay, send me a message when you’re done there.”

“Okay, I’m leaving then.” Xu RuZhou waved his hand and left very freely.
