Lyss’s casual words were like drops of clear water falling into hot oil, providing no substantial relief but instead prompting the frenzied little dog to leap forward. Lyss didn’t evade and was immediately pressed onto the carpet by someone embracing his waist.  Instinctively holding his stomach, he muttered, “Is this another basement in your house… Ah—easy…”

Before he could finish his words, the person behind him impatiently bit into him. A sudden piercing pain shot through the back of his neck, mixing with the strong scent of peaches as blood surged out abruptly, catching Lyss off guard, eliciting a whimper as he collapsed onto the carpet.

The person behind, with Lyss’s neck between their teeth, mumbled vaguely, “This isn’t my house…”

At that moment, Lyss couldn’t hear anything he was saying anymore.

Lyss wasn’t frail under his cloak; but, due to the pregnancy, his waist had softened. Despite the trembling of the delicate white nape of his neck, his vulnerable gestures failed to elicit any mercy. On the contrary, the aggressiveness intensified, teeth almost entirely piercing into the glands, blocking the blood from seeping out due to the alpha pheromones.

Closing his eyes in pain, yet influenced by the pregnancy hormones, he didn’t experience any negative effects from the pain. Instead, an inexplicable sense of pleasure overflowed, as if his soul was trembling. An alpha in their susceptible period was more aggressive and intrusive than usual, which was why most omegas dislike encountering an alpha in this state outside of estrus. However, for Lyss, this contrast seemed to pique his interest.

During pregnancy, omegas particularly require comfort from alpha pheromones. Some widowed omegas carrying a deceased partner’s child might even miscarry due to the absence of these pheromones’ soothing effects. Despite not being constrained by these conventional effects, Lyss, while carrying Lin Lang, hadn’t shown any adverse reactions due to the lack of pheromones. it didn’t mean he didn’t need them at all. For him, alpha pheromones were akin to a supplement under normal circumstances, let alone in his present condition.

Pheromones, now at a level higher than usual, flooded into his body, causing an almost immediate response from his subconscious. His brain took a while longer to regain composure as an electrifying sensation spread from his tailbone.

Before Lyss could fully react, Lu Xingye couldn’t resist encircling his waist, uncontrollably pressing on his abdomen. The force made Lyss gasp, “Ah… be gentle, not too heavy.”

Lu Xingye suddenly snapped out of it, hastily releasing Lyss. The moment he let go, realizing his mistake, he panicked and awkwardly pulled Lyss back into his embrace, “I didn’t crush you, did I? I’m sorry…”

Instead of immediately responding, Lyss checked his belly, confirming there was nothing wrong. “It’s fine. Next time, be—” Lyss paused midway, suddenly puzzled. “What’s wrong with you?”

Lu Xingye hung his head, ears drooping silently, tears welling in his eyes. Lyss, unfamiliar with an alpha’s susceptible period, widened his eyes in disbelief. “Why are you crying?”

Lu Xingye, in a pitiful tone, buried his face in Lyss’s neck, his voice nasal from crying, “I’m sorry… When you were carrying Lin Lang, I couldn’t be there… and now, with the little one…”

As he spoke, his guilt intensified, almost on the verge of tears. Sensing his familiar reaction, Lyss furrowed his brows, pinching Lu Xingye’s ear to interrupt, “What are you doing?”

His tone turned icy, making even the susceptible Lu Xingye sense something amiss. He clung to Lyss for a moment before immediately quieting down, burying his head in Lyss’s neck like a calm and obedient puppy. Lyss wasn’t letting him off easily. He tugged at Lu Xingye’s ear, looking at him for a moment before suddenly releasing him and standing up. “If you can’t talk, I’ll leave first.”

With no room for negotiation in his words, Lyss turned to leave, causing Lu Xingye to stand up almost reflexively, afraid of Lyss leaving. His deep-rooted fear of being abandoned once again made him grab Lyss’s arm and pull him forcefully back into an embrace. Inertia caused both to fall backward, but Lu Xingye, startled, instinctively shifted to cushion the fall, ending up sprawled on the carpet with Lyss landing on top.

Lu Xingye’s eyes were still red from before, yet he quickly asked, “Are you hurt from the fall?”

Lyss shook his head, about to deny it, but as he looked up, he met Lu Xingye’s unwavering gaze. Those bright eyes glimmered, like a wolf eyeing sumptuous prey it couldn’t bear to eat.

Lyss relaxed his expression, lowering his gaze. “No.”

Lu Xingye saw a hint of relaxation in Lyss’s expression and quickly coquettishly said, “Brother, can you not leave yet? You promised to help me through the susceptible period; you can’t back out on your word.”

Lyss raised his golden eyes and looked at him, “It depends on your performance.”

In the following time, the wolf cub went mad trying to impress his owner due to a single statement. Unfortunately, even if Lyss indulged him, there were things that couldn’t be done in the first three months of pregnancy.

Of course, this wasn’t only Lyss’s requirement but also Lu Xingye’s own demand. The wild celebration in the crack five years ago was still vivid in his memory. Whenever Lu Xingye recalled those days, it wasn’t pleasure and excitement he felt but endless fear. Lin Lang might not have been born if it weren’t for a narrow escape.

In the midst of such fear, even though he was in his susceptible period, Lu Xingye firmly held his boundaries, not daring to step over the line.

His restraint became a handle for Lyss. Seeing but not being able to touch might be one of life’s three greatest regrets, and Lu Xingye was currently experiencing it firsthand.

“Why didn’t you tell me you can’t smell anything?” Lyss, with a shirt draped over him and a slight blush from the previous events, questioned as he sat astride Lu Xingye, pulling at his collar. “Is it that you can’t smell any scent at all, or are there exceptions? Speak.”

Lu Xingye, clutching the slightly plump and soft waist that had changed due to pregnancy, beads of sweat forming on his forehead from the effort of controlling himself, was almost going mad. After a long while, he struggled to utter a sentence.

Seeing his dissatisfaction, Lyss frowned, and instead of easing the situation, he directly retracted his own pheromones.

For an alpha in the susceptible period, their omega’s pheromones were like a calming agent. Veins bulged on Lu Xingye’s arm as he couldn’t restrain himself, “There… there are exceptions.”

Lyss, nonchalantly kissing the eyes that were like a starry sea, asked, “What are the exceptions?”

Lu Xingye firmly held onto Lyss’s waist, his hands almost sinking into the revealed milky-white skin. He seemed like he wanted to bite and absorb that sweet scent, but at the moment, he was like a tamed wolf, not daring to do anything without Lyss’s permission, only trembling and breathing heavily.

Lyss, seeing his state, softened a bit and released some pheromones, enveloping the susceptible alpha in front of him. After observing the calming effect on his rapid breathing, Lyss patiently asked again, “What are the exceptions?”

“It’s you…” Lu Xingye buried his head in Lyss’s neck, uncontrollably savoring the faint peach scent. “It’s your pheromones.”

Lyss had long known this answer and nodded reluctantly, “Not bad, at least you’re honest… Here’s your reward.”

Lu Xingye’s brain, saturated with desire, didn’t immediately react to this statement. When he regained his senses, a strong peach fragrance burst from his arms. Lu Xingye couldn’t remember anything until he regained his sanity. The scene before him was in complete chaos.

Lyss, a bit exhausted, rubbed his temples. When he looked up, he saw Lu Xingye’s shocked and bewildered expression, a complete contrast to his previous beastly appearance.

“Are you awake?” Lyss casually grabbed a blanket and covered himself, presenting a sharp contrast.”I need to go to my exam.”

 Lu Xingye stared with wide eyes, and upon hearing Lyss’s words, he instinctively said, “What exam?”

Lyss glanced at him speechlessly, then stood up and started changing his clothes without caring about the blanket covering him, “Prenatal checkup.”

The impact of this word coming from Lyss was immense. Lu Xingye was stunned for three seconds before blushing suddenly, struggling to say, “I didn’t just—”

Lyss, seeing his embarrassment, showed a hint of a smile, “No.”

Lu Xingye breathed a sigh of relief, “Does anyone else know about your visit, besides Qiu?”

Lyss furrowed his brows slightly at the question, “Lillia knows as well. Other than that, no one else. Are you worried about Triss having its own…?”

Lu Xingye shook his head, “I was just overly cautious. Triss should be safe. the Empire has been infiltrated. That thing can reach anywhere through any terminal. This place was cordoned off by me near the launch pad, and at that time, its ability couldn’t reach this building. Unfortunately, after the completion of this underground room, the outside of this building has become unsafe.”

Lyss nodded, “The place where we previously video-called shouldn’t be here.”

“Exactly, this room completely isolates signals.” Lu Xingye nodded, “The place where we video-called before was in the living room. I wanted to lure that thing out, so I used some unconventional methods. But I really didn’t expect you to capture a clip of it. Truly deserving of…”

He paused for a moment, and Lyss raised an eyebrow, “Deserving of what?”

Lu Xingye shamelessly smiled, “Deserving of being the chief in my house.”

Lyss raised an eyebrow but didn’t respond, tacitly accepting the title. “Is the thing you left behind a bait?” Lyss asked.

Lu Xingye smiled knowingly, “Brother and I truly share a telepathic connection.”

Lyss nodded, “I understand what you mean.”

Lu Xingye looked surprised, “But I haven’t said anything yet.”

Lyss stood up, using the blanket as he walked towards the door, “You’ve said enough.”

“Before you go, there’s something I want to ask you. When I see you again, would you be willing to—”

“It’s not auspicious to ask that now. Stop asking.” Lyss stopped at the door, turned to look at him, and said, “I’m willing.”

The author has something to say:

Puppy: Wife, are you willing to marr…

Chief (interrupting the flag): I’m willing. Shut up.
