Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Ji Xingyuan knew that it was useless to warn Ji Tailin now. When his own strength was not enough, any anger was worthless.

The cold wind blowing in the box on the 24th floor was enough to calm him down, but…

Ji Xingyuan squeezed his scarred hand and said those words: “Don’t try to touch Qi Feiluan.”

Ji Tailin smiled, tapped the electronic screen on the desktop, and motioned for him to look at the electronic screen on the wall next to him.

On the electronic screen, Qi Feiluan stood straight opposite Ji Tailin. He was silent for a long time, and then said: “You are right, I will… find a suitable Beta to start a family.”

At that moment, Ji Xingyuan seemed to hear the sound of his own nerves tensing and pulling.

Ji Tailin said slowly in a tone that he had everything under control:

“Look, it’s not what I tried to do. I said he would definitely leave you.”

“Have you experienced the impact of Omega pheromones on yourself? The more powerful Alpha is, the more he needs Omega to fill himself. Sooner or later, you will be unable to restrain yourself and get together with Omega. How should he deal with himself then?”

“If I were him, I would choose a Beta like myself to form an ordinary but happy family.”

“Shut up.” Ji Xingyuan interrupted him, his sharp gaze directed at Ji Tailin, “Don’t think that I don’t know what you must have said to him to induce him.”

“Yes.” Ji Tailin admitted simply. He spread his hands and said, “But he did say those words himself, didn’t he?”

Ji Tailin clicked on the desktop again, pointed at Ji Xingyuan’s pocket, and said with a smile: “I sent that video to you, you can watch it over and over again.”

Ji Xingyuan walked out of the study and took out his mobile phone. The first thing he saw was the video sent by Ji Tailin. He paused with his finger and did not click on it. Instead, he sent a message to Qi Feiluan: [Come to my room.】

After Ji Xingyuan returned to his room, he asked the servant to bring disinfectant and bandages.

The door to his room opened, and the person who came in with potions and bandages was not a servant, but Qi Feiluan.

Qi Feiluan frowned when she saw the wound on his hand, quickly walked to him and sat down, picked up one of his hands and skillfully disinfected it, applied medicine and wrapped a bandage on it.

“Did anything unexpected happen on today’s date with Mu He’an? Otherwise, I’ll go with you next time…”

Ji Xingyuan didn’t speak. He clicked on the video on his phone with his free hand. The excellent speakers clearly transmitted what Qi Feiluan said: “You are right, I will… find a suitable Beta to start a family.”

Qi Feiluan paused. He looked up at Ji Xingyuan and found that Ji Xingyuan looked at him with a dark and unclear look.

The video played in a loop, and the only line sounded repeatedly.

“You said you would always be by my side.” Ji Xingyuan said almost paranoidly.

He didn’t know that this sentence might have been spoken by Ji Tailin to guide Qi Feiluan. He didn’t know that it was a trap that led him to the abyss, but that sentence really came from Qi Feiluan, and now he also wanted to get an explanation from Qi Feiluan.

Ji Xingyuan stared at Qi Feiluan, who was very close.

Say “That was done to deal with Ji Tailin”, say “He played it to you on purpose”, say “That’s false”, and say again “I will always be by your side”…

However, after a brief silence, Qi Feiluan raised his hand and pressed the pause button on his mobile phone, and said: “Yes, my father also hopes that Beta and I will start a family, but this does not conflict with me being loyal to you and staying with you. I…”

Ji Xingyuan heard that the tight string in his mind finally broke, and a sharp pain penetrated him.

Under Ji Xingyuan’s gaze, Qi Feiluan stopped talking and said, “My father is loyal to your father, Ji Xingyuan. Besides you, I have parents.”

Ji Xingyuan understood what Qi Feiluan meant. Ji Tailin had done a lot of dirty things. He used Qi Feiluan’s parents to threaten him to stay away from his son and combine with other Betas. He was definitely very good at it.

But Ji Xingyuan had to admit that at that moment he almost blurted out “Then let them all die.” Whether it was Ji Tailin or Qi Feiluan’s parents, they all died, so that Qi Feiluan could completely belong to him, no longer need to be threatened by other things, and live only for him.

Ji Xingyuan forced himself to hold back and watched in silence as Qi Feiluan continued to hold his other hand, disinfected him and applied medicine, then turned and left his room.

“So… you always thought that he would leave you just because he was forced by your father to date another Beta?”

When Ji Xingyuan said this, Bai Hanxu said “I don’t understand but I am shocked”.

Bai Hanxu knew more or less about the internal fighting between Ji’s father and son, but he didn’t expect that Ji Tailin had done so many inhuman things.

Jian Junshuang had no reaction to this. His aunt’s matter was not a secret to him. He said: “No, it must be more than that. Go ahead and talk about the key points.”

Ji Xingyuan reached out to open another bottle of wine and drank a few sips. He felt the wine sliding down from the esophagus to the stomach, and the whole internal organs were burning. He continued: “Later…”

Qi Feiluan began to contact a Beta whom he had a slight impression of.

Ji Xingyuan immediately checked the Beta thoroughly.

Fu Jun and Beta were in the same class as the two of them but in different majors. They majored in mechanics. The opportunity to meet Ji Xingyuan was most likely the student union. After graduation, they reunited in a shooting club. When Qi Feiluan was preparing for a blind date, the two got closer.

That period of time was the shortest time that Qi Feiluan was with Ji Xingyuan, and the relationship between the two of them became more and more like the relationship between a boss and a subordinate.

No, according to common sense, the relationship between superiors and subordinates should return to normal.

Qi Feiluan only went back to his residence after working during the day, and no longer stayed with Ji Xingyuan during weekends and holidays. Instead, he stayed with Fu Jun, and he began to live his own life.

Ji Xingyuan returned to Ji’s manor alone and fell asleep alone. He began to think about Qi Feiluan constantly, and even later evolved to follow Qi Feiluan.

Watching Qi Feiluan and Fu Jun start eating together, then go shopping together, go to the cinema together, and walk home together…

The figures of the two people came into his eyes and penetrated further into his heart.

Ji Xingyuan has never seen Qi Feiluan with such a peaceful and relaxed posture, never seen him walking slowly on the sidewalk talking to another person, never seen him carrying a bag full of things and walking in the same direction with another person full of expectations…

The heir of the Ji family, the eldest young master, his time is more precious than others, so he must live an extremely efficient life.

All the trivial matters in his life are arranged by his servants. His schedule is planned by secretaries and assistants. When he wants to have a meal, he always has a meal ready and waiting for him. When he gets up early and goes out, he always has clothes that are ironed and well-matched and will never make him lose his grace and dignity.

He traded money for time, and then traded time for more money.

Ji Xingyuan has been living such a life. He used his power and money to build a world that revolves around himself. Even Qi Feiluan is the star orbiting in this world. Even if this star is closest to him, it is just a part of this world.

Ji Xingyuan doesn’t understand why he has to go shopping in the supermarket, he doesn’t understand why he has to walk on the streets, he doesn’t understand why he has to cook for himself… In his opinion, these are all meaningless and redundant behaviors that waste time.

Qi Feiluan was by his side, in his world, and of course he lived the same life as him.

Ji Xingyuan understood at that time that Qi Feiluan could actually live a second life, that the star could completely break away from its orbit around him and choose a more peaceful and relaxed life.

They don’t pursue efficiency. They don’t need chefs, maids, assistants, or rides to and from various places. They can stroll along the roadside and watch the last rays of light dissipate on the horizon, and enjoy the night breeze blowing the hems of two people’s clothes.

Qi Feiluan left his world and entered Fu Jun’s world.

Ji Xingyuan felt that it was probably because the string in his mind was broken that day, so he was probably broken somewhere. He simply couldn’t bear the thought of Qi Feiluan leaving his world to choose a Beta and live another life.

Ji Xingyuan was thinking like crazy about how to keep Qi Feiluan. He could easily cut off the communication between Qi Feiluan and Fu Jun. For ordinary Betas, the breeze brought by the behemoth of the Ji family was a storm that could destroy their entire lives.

But besides Fu Jun, there will be other people, other Betas.

The key to the problem is…if Qi Feiluan wants to leave him, how can he keep him?

Ji Xingyuan still remembers the funeral not long ago. The sky and earth were covered with heavy snow outside. In the airtight and warm carriage, the people sitting next to him looked at him with eyes burning like flames. He said, “I will always be by your side.”

Ji Xingyuan heard Qi Feiluan’s voice saying “I will always be by your side”, Qi Feiluan’s voice in the video saying “I will find a suitable Beta to start a family”, and Ji Tailin’s curse-like whispering “He will definitely leave you”, “He can withdraw at any time”, “You can’t mark him”…

Mark?

Ji Xingyuan sat alone in his room and raised his hand to touch the glands on the back of his neck.

In vain, Alpha claims to be the first human race, the helmsman, leader and ruler of the world, but it can never mark Beta.

Among the three ABO races, Beta is the freest, least defined and has the most choice. They can withdraw at any time and watch Alpha or Omega fall into the entanglement of love and desire, and see how they go crazy or even go to destruction.

If he couldn’t mark Qi Feiluan, then… could he “mark” Qi Feiluan in another way?
