Chapter 54: The Gluttonous King

The kiss was lingering, and Shao Chengxi didn’t release Shu Lin until he was almost out of breath.

He held Shu Lin on his lap, showering him with fine, rain-like kisses.

Shu Lin’s voice was fragmented, “About the news… did you, did you see it?”

Shao Chengxi gave a low “Mmm,” his tone lazy with a hint of disdain:

“Just some clowns jumping around, trying to play the same old tricks.”

Shu Lin: “Then… what do you plan to do?”

Shao Chengxi complained with a touch of coquetry:

“Baby, I’m kissing you, can you please concentrate?”

Shu Lin: “…”

Okay.

After a moment of silence, he exclaimed as if suddenly remembering something, “I remember!”

Shao Chengxi raised an eyebrow, watching his little “look at me” expression, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence:

“Remember what?”

Shu Lin’s eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered some incredible secret:

“Didn’t the netizens attack you for overstepping your authority to rescue people? They’re wrong to say that. I was at the scene when the explosion happened. At that time, it was clearly… mmm… don’t, don’t kiss me yet, I…”

He hadn’t even finished speaking.

Shao Chengxi kissed him possessively, severely punishing his inattentiveness.

Today was the first day of the Presidential Palace meeting, with many procedures to go through, and things hadn’t yet gotten on track.

Shao Chengxi had been busy all morning, and he could only endure his physical discomfort.

Upon entering, the various parties immediately adopted a hostile stance, secretly using pheromones to suppress each other.

The venue was filled with various mixed pheromones, creating a tense atmosphere.

Shao Chengxi was an S-Class Alpha, and no one could suppress him; only he could suppress others.

However, he was currently in the early stages of his rut, and if he allowed his pheromones to overflow, he could lose control on the spot and enter his rut at any time.

If that were to happen, his career would suffer a severe blow.

Therefore, he had been precisely controlling his pheromones all morning.

On the one hand, he wouldn’t allow others’ pheromones to suppress him.

On the other hand, he had to control himself, not releasing too many pheromones to avoid losing control.

However, he wasn’t panicked.

Because he had Shu Lin.

His Omega was always with him, and if he felt he was on the verge of losing control, he would rush to him immediately.

It was wonderful to be able to hold his little Omega right now.

For these five days, the Shao Residence had arranged for someone to be responsible for their logistics.

The reason for using people from the Shao Residence instead of the Ministry of Defense was for secrecy and security.

It must be said that the Shao Residence’s secrecy work was excellent.

Many people within the Shao Residence and related personnel knew about Shu Lin being a US-Class Omega and that he and Shao Chengxi had registered their marriage, but in the past six months, no rumors had leaked out.

It was clear that Shao Bingheng wasn’t just talking when he said they had their own rules of secrecy.

This made Shu Lin feel at ease.

At noon, people from the Shao Residence brought lunch.

It was a specially made balanced nutritional meal for the two of them, mainly to replenish their strength.

The amount of food was large, and Shao Chengxi ate most of it.

Shu Lin was a little taken aback by his appetite.

He usually didn’t see him eat this much.

Could it be that Alphas in their rut were all such big eaters?

In his memory, his sister didn’t eat like this when she was in her rut.

If he ate this much, how strong would he be when he actually entered his rut!

Shu Lin couldn’t help but shiver, his chopsticks almost sparking, burying himself in his food.

No, he had to eat more too.

As a result, he overate.

When it was time for the afternoon meeting, Shao Chengxi went to the meeting as if nothing had happened.

Shu Lin patted his overstuffed stomach, constantly burping.

And so, the first day passed safely.

Shao Chengxi’s condition was still good.

For the sake of safety, Shu Lin and Shao Chengxi stayed together at the Shao Residence for the next few nights.

It was already dark when they returned to the Shao Residence, and Shu Lin didn’t expect to run into Shu Lingxiao here.

“Sister, why are you here?” Shu Lin said in surprise. “When I went home yesterday, Dad said you’ve been working overtime these days. I haven’t seen you in so long.”

When Shu Lingxiao saw Shu Lin, her eyes were full of smiles, and she affectionately ruffled his hair, “Me too, I haven’t seen my little Lin in a long time. I’ve missed you.”

Shu Lin smiled, his eyes crinkling, “I’ve missed you too, Sister.”

The siblings sat in the living room, chatting happily.

Shu Lingxiao’s gaze occasionally fell on Shu Lin, her eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

Even though he deliberately covered his neck with his collar, she could still see the faint love marks on it.

They must have been made recently.

He was covered in a strong Alpha pheromone scent.

It was Shao Chengxi’s.

It was normal for an Omega to have their Alpha’s pheromones on them.

But today was the first day of the Presidential Palace meeting, and Shao Chengxi’s energy should be focused on work. How could he have the mood and time to be so intimate with Shu Lin?

Shao Chengxi was a very career-minded person with clear life goals. He wouldn’t make such a mistake at such a crucial moment.

Moreover, he knew better than anyone how important this meeting was to the Shao family and to him.

His behavior was too abnormal.

And, according to Shu Lin, he would be staying with Shao Chengxi at the Shao Residence for the next few days.

This was also a bit strange.

Logically speaking, during the meeting, it was the period when the Ministry of Defense strengthened security. Shao Chengxi staying at his residence in the Ministry of Defense would be more conducive to commanding.

In an instant, a thought flashed through Shu Lingxiao’s mind.

She understood.

At this critical time, Shao Chengxi was facing the challenge of his rut.

In that case, everything made sense.

Now, he needed Shu Lin to be with him at all times.

Realizing this, Shu Lingxiao looked at her younger brother, a look of heartache surfacing in her eyes.

He was only nineteen years old and had to accompany an S-Class Alpha through his rut.

She wondered if he was prepared?

And…

“Lingxiao, you’re here.”

A voice suddenly came from behind her.

Shu Lingxiao and Shu Lin turned around at the same time.

It was Shao Shiyan.

He had just returned from outside and his eyes lit up when he saw Shu Lingxiao.

“Shiyan,” Shu Lingxiao nodded, polite and distant, “Long time no see.”

Shao Shiyan quickly walked up to her, a smile on his face, “Long time no see. Oh, right, Lingxiao, have you had dinner yet? If you haven’t…”

“Lingxiao, Shiyan, come to the study.” Shao Bingheng came out of the study, interrupting him.

Shu Lingxiao put down her teacup and patted Shu Lin on the shoulder, “Little Lin, go back to your room and rest.”

Shu Lin obediently replied, “Okay, Sister, you guys go ahead.”

He knew they had things to discuss.

Shao Shiyan followed Shu Lingxiao into the study together.

Shu Lin looked at their backs, feeling like something wasn’t quite right.
