IM Chapter 46

“Be good, it won’t hurt too much.” Yan Zhugui’s voice was still as gentle as ever, but it made Xu Chen feel a chill down his spine.

“Yan Zhugui, I will hate you!” the beta shouted desperately, his body retreating incessantly.

“Be obedient, although this drug is still in the final stages of research and development, the first stage is very safe.” Yan Zhugui said, trying to appease Xu Chen’s emotions.

“Yan Zhugui, don’t force me, or I’d rather die than let you get what you want!” Xu Chen gritted his teeth and said resolutely.

Yan Zhugui was stunned for two seconds, casually threw the syringe in his hand into the trash can, and stood up in silence with his head down. Xu Chen didn’t look at his face. At this moment, he didn’t care what expression Yan Zhugui had. No matter what kind of Yan Zhugui, he hated him to the extreme, so it was no longer important whether he looked or not.

Yan Zhugui turned and left the room without saying a word.

Xu Chen was like a wounded beast, covered in scars, huddled in the corner, curled up, until the sound of footsteps outside the door became more and more distant. His violently beating, extremely uneasy heart gradually calmed down for a short time.

He kept squatting in the corner, not moving for a long time, his mind was in a mess, and drowsiness hit him like a tide. Finally, he sat directly in the corner, leaning his back against the wall behind him, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When he opened his eyes again, the room was completely bright, and warm sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the cold floor of the room.

He dragged his heavy steps and slowly walked to the balcony, looking outside.

This is a sea view room.

The endless blue sea came into view, seagulls circled low over the sparkling sea, and the waves hit the rocks again and again, instantly disappearing like gravel without a trace. Surrounded by the sea on all sides, even if he could really escape from where he was now, he would not be able to leave this island without transportation.

Yan Zhugui was determined to lock him up here, wanting him to show weakness.

He stood quietly in the sunlight, staring at the distant sea, his eyes empty, somewhat lost in thought. Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist unexpectedly. Xu Chen’s eyes moved slightly, and he didn’t need to turn his head to guess who the person was.

“How long do you want to lock me up here?” His voice was calm, with a hint of fatigue.

“Until you have our child here.” Yan Zhugui’s voice rang in his ears, and his hands went around to the front and gently stroked his stomach.

“Delusional, wishful thinking, then you should just give up on that idea.” Xu Chen said coldly, and the feeling of disgust in his heart surged up again.

“Let go of me!” He tried to break free from the man’s arms.

“Don’t worry, there’s no one here, just the two of us.” Yan Zhugui’s voice seemed to have a fatal bewitchment. The former Xu Chen liked it very much, but the current beta hated it, even loathed it.

“Are you sick? I don’t like this.” Xu Chen roared angrily, and could only let the man hold him, looking disappointedly at the distant sea, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, “Yan Zhugui, does wantonly bullying me like this make you feel a sense of accomplishment?”

“Honestly, not really.” Yan Zhugui’s voice was very soft.

“Then let go of me.”

“No can do.”

The alpha hugged him even tighter, his movements were gentle but measured, and a strong possessiveness flashed in his eyes.

Xu Chen lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the big hands that were tightly wrapped around his waist, the corners of his lips curled into a bit of sour sarcasm, but his tone was very calm, “I don’t know why you are so persistent about having children? If you simply think that turning me into an omega and then having your child will allow you to use this to force me to stay by your side forever, then I’m telling you, it’s impossible.”

“Then I’ll lock you up here for the rest of your life.” Yan Zhugui’s attitude was still strong, and he whispered firmly in his ear.

The anger in Xu Chen’s heart was ignited again. He suddenly turned around and used all his strength to push him away, and his body staggered backwards several steps. “If you disregard my wishes and force yourself on me, what’s the difference between that and rape? Do you think I would like a rapist? Or is it that President Yan just likes to play this kind of boring and tasteless game? If you want to play, you should go find those who share your interests, not me.”

His voice became louder and louder, and his eyes were faintly mixed with raging anger. He looked at the man in front of him with disappointment, “I don’t know what benefits you can get from doing this to you and me. You will only make me hate you more and more. If that’s your purpose, then I’m telling you, you’ve succeeded.”

“Isn’t it okay to just like you?” Yan Zhugui’s voice had a hint of pleading.

“There are many people who like Xu Chen, why do you think I will wait for you in the same place?” Xu Chen’s expression was disdainful.

Yan Zhugui didn’t know why he wanted to do this. He knew better than anyone else that doing so would only make Xu Chen hate him more. But he couldn’t care so much anymore. As long as he could keep Xu Chen by his side, what if the beta really hated him.

“You used to like me.” The alpha could only say.

“…” Xu Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then sneered, “President Yan, didn’t you sleep well last night? You said I liked you? Are you here to be funny? How didn’t I see that you still have a bit of a funny bone.”

The sarcasm in the beta’s words was obvious.

Yan Zhugui’s dark eyes dimmed slightly. He silently stepped forward two steps and hugged him roughly into his arms. Xu Chen tried hard to push him away, tried several times, but failed in the end.

The alpha’s arms around his waist kept tightening.

“Xu Chen, look into my eyes.”

“I refuse.”

Yan Zhugui forcibly pinched his chin, forcing him to raise his eyes to meet his gaze, and asked urgently, “You used to like me, didn’t you?”

“Is it interesting to ask this question repeatedly? So what if I liked you? I don’t like you anymore. I hate you, I hate hearing anything related to you, every single thing makes me feel disgusted.” Xu Chen said angrily, the disgust in his eyes was undisguisedly exposed, “Did you hear that, I find it disgusting!”

Yan Zhugui stared at his hateful eyes, and a burst of heart-wrenching pain surged up densely in his chest.

“When I knew that I had wronged you, I suddenly wanted to slap myself twice. I was thinking, if time could go back, that would be great. Or one day let me stand in front of you, no matter how you hit me, scold me, I won’t fight back, as long as it’s enough to let you vent your anger.” The alpha’s voice was full of regret and pain. Over the past few years, he had been torturing himself because of this incident. Every time he woke up from a nightmare at night, he couldn’t sleep all night, and he was full of remorse and self-blame.

Xu Chen listened to his self-talk with an impatient expression. He had already put the past behind him. No matter who was wrong, he had no mood or energy to go back and argue about it.

At the beginning, the omega took the initiative to ask him to meet, saying that he had something to talk about privately. He hesitated at the time, feeling that it was not good for the two of them to meet privately behind Yan Zhugui’s back. After thinking about it, even if there was something special, he was a beta, so he couldn’t let the omega bully him.

He went.

He still remembered clearly what the omega said. That hypocritical boy who was best at lying, with an innocent face, said that he would let everyone continue to be good friends in the future, and let him drink the drink in front of him without any precautions.

He later secretly regretted that if he hadn’t gone that day, or if he had told Yan Zhugui before going, maybe the following things wouldn’t have happened.

It’s just a pity that fate makes people, and there is no such thing as what if.

“Yan Zhugui, actually we shouldn’t have met in the first place.” Xu Chen’s emotions had calmed down a lot.

“I know, it was me who wanted to see you, it was me who ran back to find you without authorization. Knowing that you definitely wouldn’t want to see me, but I still wanted to try. If, if you were willing to see me, maybe I still have a chance.” Yan Zhugui’s smile was a bit bitter, and he didn’t know why, but he couldn’t help it.

“What’s so difficult about wanting to see me? I’m not like you, Young Master Yan. Seeing you is more difficult than ascending to heaven.”

Yan Zhugui was stunned and puzzled when he heard this, “What do you mean by that?”

“What do you mean? Shouldn’t you be very clear about what it means?” Xu Chen’s pupils sank slightly, and he looked at him faintly, “That day in Huanjiang Park, if we agreed not to meet, we shouldn’t have met again. It was because I had a glimmer of hope for you, so I went. Do you think it’s very funny?”

Yan Zhugui stood there blankly, his eyes full of astonishment, and the hands hanging by his sides trembled slightly. “When did this happen? I didn’t receive your message at all. I don’t know anything.”

“Wh… what?” Xu Chen looked at him in shock.

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about, Achen, I don’t know.” He was so anxious that his eyebrows were furrowed together, blaming himself and helpless.

Xu Chen stared at the alpha with deep eyes, his eyelashes trembled a few times under his brow bone. After examining him for a moment, he lowered his eyes and lowered his voice to tentatively ask, “Yan Zhugui, you keep saying that you like me, then let me ask you, if it’s between me and the Yan family, and you can only choose one, who would you choose?”

“I choose you.” Yan Zhugui’s words were almost blurted out without thinking.
