    Luo Wenchuan frowned, and after thinking for a moment, dialed Zhuo Feiyue’s communicator.

    Zhuo Feiyue just returned from the morning exercise outside and looked quite energetic. After he picked up the communication, he enthusiastically said to Luo Wenchuan: “Second Highness, how do you have time to call me today?”

    “Professor Zhuo, I want to ask you something,” Luo Wenchuan said in a serious tone. “If an alpha and omega’s pheromones don’t match, can an alpha still mark an omega?”

    Zhuo Feiyue replied without hesitation: “Of course not.”

    Luo Wenchuan pursed his lips and said slowly: “But last night, after getting drunk, I temporarily marked Yun Xingze…”

    Zhuo Feiyue was stunned. His mouth was open so wide an egg could be stuffed in.

    After a long time, he woke up from the dream and exclaimed in surprise. “You, you, you, you marked Yun Xingze?!”

    Luo Wenchuan nodded unnaturally.

    “Second Highness, you are really unbelievable, how can this be so quick! Aren’t you still competing…” Zhuo Feiyue smiled. After a while, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. “Wait… If this is true, then it’s impossible for you not to match Yun Xingze…”

    Luo Wenchuan looked at Zhuo Feiyue and said slowly, “So, is there a possibility that the matching device malfunctioned?”

    “That’s impossible,” Zhuo Feiyue enunciated clearly. “The matching system is perfect, how could there be a malfunction…”

    The two of them fell silent.

    Of course, Zhuo Feiyue hoped that their pheromones would match. He had been looking forward to the second prince finding his own happiness.

    So, Zhuo Feiyue asked to Luo Wenchuan: “How about I help you test them again?”

    Luo Wenchuan pondered for a while, and said, “If there is a problem with the matching library, it will be useless to test it again and again.”

    “We can change the testing method.” Zhuo Feiyue looked at Luo Wenchuan and said seriously. “For example, taking your pheromones directly to the laboratory to test the degree of matching. The test result must be accurate.”

    Luo Wenchuan was slightly startled.

    Immediately, he hesitated: “Direct detection of pheromones?”

    Zhuo Feiyue nodded, and then asked: “Are there any residual pheromones in your room from last night?”

    “The pheromones from last night have all been eliminated.” Luo Wenchuan pursed his lips.

    Zhuo Feiyue asked again: “Then… Have you ever saved Yun Xingze’s pheromone? For example, even if it’s something that was accidentally touched. Pheromones can be detected with just a little bit.”

    Luo Wenchuan suddenly remembered something. When he looked up at Zhuo Feiyue, he said slowly: “Something accidentally touched… Yes.”

    Then Luo Wenchuan told Zhuo Feiyue of the existence of the black umbrella.

    “That’s great.” Zhuo Feiyue’s face wrinkled with a smile, and his tone was full of anticipation. “Then I’ll go to help you test right away, and use your pheromone sample from the Royal Hospital…”

    After hanging up, Luo Wenchuan’s heart was a mix of anticipation and tension.

    He didn’t know what the results of the test would look like.

    But no matter what, he knew that the person he liked was Yun Xingze. This matter had nothing to do with pheromones or match.

    Just as Luo Wenchuan was about to go to Yun Xingze’s room and confess his heart to him, an encrypted communication suddenly connected to his optical brain.

    Luo Wenchuan has no right to refuse this communication.

    In other words, this is a call from someone from the royal family.

    Luo Wenchuan was slightly startled.

    After the connection, the virtual image that appeared in the light screen was his contact person in the royal family – Mekal.

    Mekal is responsible for conveying the orders of the king and queen to Luo Wenchuan.

    If it is a relatively common order, he will let Zhuo Feiyue convey it. When he calls in person, it means that something important has happened in the palace.

    “Mekal,” Luo Wenchuan frowned slightly and his expression became serious. “What’s the matter?”

    “Your Second Highness, I’m here to inform you of something.” Mekal gave Luo Wenchuan a smile, but his tone was just routine and cold. “Please come back to the palace this weekend.”

    Luo Wenchuan’s eyes flashed with confusion, and he asked, “What’s the reason?”

    Both the king and the queen knew that he was participating in NCLM. It it was nothing special, he would not be called back halfway.

    “Recently, the Imperial City star caught an Alliance spy, and after being severely tortured, he shared a lot of information.” Mekal replied in a hurry. “There is one thing that worries His Majesty – the Alliance has begun to pay attention to the Xinghai school team. The focus of attention is on you…and an omega named Yun Xingze.”

    Luo Wenchuan’s eyes showed surprise, and he said subconsciously: “It’s okay if they suspect my identity, why are they still investigating Yun Xingze?!”

    “Second Highness, forgive me for taking the liberty,” Mekal said slowly. “Your relationship with that omega doesn’t seem to be simple.”

    The implication is that the reason why the Alliance will focus on Yun Xingze is, of course, because Luo Wenchuan got too close to Yun Xingze.

    “But he’s just my mechanic,” Luo Wenchuan said anxiously. “He doesn’t know anything…”

    Mekal sighed and continued: “Your Highness does not need to explain to me. The current priority is to guarantee your safety and establish an heir as soon as possible.”

    Luo Wenchuan tightened his fingers and said coldly: “I won’t go back, I will go back after the game is over.”

    Since the Alliance is eyeing Yun Xingze, he must ensure Yun Xingze’s safety.

    Mekal said politely and gently: “This is an order from the royal family.”

    Luo Wenchuan was stunned. He couldn’t help frowning, and wanted to say something, when he heard Mekal say: “Your Highness, you don’t have to worry about Yun Xingze’s safety. When you are not by his side, we will arrange someone to protect him secretly.”

    Luo Wenchuan was still worried.

    Mekal said enticingly: “Your Highness, when you return to the palace this time, it is very likely they will directly announce your status as heir, which is of great importance.”

    Having heard this, Luo Wenchuan knew that he had to go back this time.

    “Then you must ensure the safety of Xingze.” Luo Wenchuan looked at Mekal coldly. “If something happens, I will never forgive you.”

    “I promise.” Mekal said, “However, Your Highness, if you are so worried about Yun Xingze’s safety, you might as well keep your distance from him before being established as heir.”

    Luo Wenchuan fell silent when he heard the words.

    Mekal said a polite goodbye and hung up.

    At the same time, in Yun Xingze’s room.

    Early in the morning, Yun Xingze looked at himself in the mirror while taking a shower.

    There is a faint tooth mark on his gland.

    I don’t know if it was Yun Xingze’s illusion, but he felt that his metabolism had been much faster recently, and the tooth mark have faded to the point of being invisible.

    Just after washing, Yun Xingze suddenly received a communication from the Yun family.

    It was Qin Shuang who called.

    Last night, the mecha company of Imperial Star was informed of the big move of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute, and the Changsheng Group was the company that received the most news.

    Chi Yin visited the Yun family in the middle of the night and said to the Yun couple: “There has been news from the scientific research institute that the first generation of mental power amplifiers have been successfully developed. The specific amplification factor has not been found out yet. I think it should be around 1.5.”

    Hearing what Chi Yin said, the water cup in Yun Changsheng’s hand fell directly to the ground and shattered.

    Qin Shuang, who was on the side, opened her eyes wide, and said in amazement: “The mental power amplifier has been successfully developed?! Wasn’t an experiment volunteer unable to be found??”

    “I only found out not long ago that the scientific research institute found a mysterious boss.” Chi Yin frowned and said. “It’s estimated to be a general-level figure in the military, or a genius-level alpha from a mecha college…”

    “That’s great!”

    Yun Changsheng stood up excitedly and forcefully hugged Chi Yin and thanked him for the news.

    Qin Shuang also brought out the best red wine at home to entertain Chi Yin, and promised to provide the latest mecha cargo to Chi Yin’s troops.

    Chi Yin only provided the Yun family with a few words, and earned plenty of benefits.

    However, Chi Yin’s purpose wasn’t these.

    After a while, Chi Yin pretended to be annoyed and said. “Many mecha companies know about this, and they’ve inquired about it.”

    “You must not tell them!” Yun Changsheng said immediately. “This is a big deal . I can guarantee that as long as our Yun family gets the relevant technology, we will definitely become the No. 1 mecha company in the world!”

    Yun Changsheng isn’t bragging; it is a future that everyone can foresee.

    Mental power amplifier, these 3 words are too tempting for any mecha company.

    “I don’t want to say that either,” Chi Yin sighed and looked at the couple. “However, President Liu of the Kirin Mecha Company said that he would betroth his omega daughter to my son Chi Yu. You also know that the match between President Liu’s daughter and Chi Yu is 80%…”

    Hearing Chi Yin’s words, Yun Changsheng immediately understood the intention.

    So, Yun Changsheng slapped his thigh and said, “Old Chi, you must think about this clearly. Our Xingze and Chi Yu have a 89% match.”

    Chi Yin rolled his eyes and said slowly: ” But I heard that Yun Xingze doesn’t look down on my son…”

    “Who said that, it’s just a child’s temper!” Yun Changsheng waved his hand and said cheerfully. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him. Regarding their marriage, just coax him a bit more. Chi Yu is still too straight-tempered.”

    Chi Yin said quietly: “That said, but Yun Xingze performed very well in NCLM. I’m guessing many alphas are interested in him, right? Does our Chi Yu still have a chance?”

    “His heart must belong to Chi Yu.” Yun Changsheng said confidently. “No matter how good other alphas are, can they match Chi Yu?”

    “Since you said that, then I’ll think about it.” Chi Yin stood up and raised the corners of his lips. “That, President Liu wanted to talk to me on the weekend…”

    “Old Chi, what else are you thinking about.” Yun Changsheng was a little anxious. “This marriage will definitely happen!”

    Qin Shuang was also a little flustered. She wasn’t sure if Chi Yin really wanted to regret the marriage.

    The next second, Yun Changsheng turned his head to Qin Shuang and said, “You should call Yun Xingze tomorrow morning and ask him to return to the Imperial Star on the weekend. The NCLM group stage just ended, so just directly arrange their marriage.”

    So, Qin Shuang called Yun Xingze early the next day.“What’s the matter?” Yun Xingze looked at Qin Shuang with a frown.

    With sharp eyes, Qin Shuang immediately noticed the bite marks on Yun Xingze’s neck and frowned. “What happened to your neck? Are you temporarily marked?”

    “This is my freedom.” Yun Xingze said indifferently, “It has nothing to do with you.”

    “Idiot.” Qin Shuang gritted his teeth, “You couldn’t have gotten together with that kid from the barren star, the one called Luo whatever-chuan…”

    Yun Xingze pursed his lips. “Whatever, it’s not Chi Yu anyway.”

    Qin Shuang frowned and said, “After the group stage this weekend, come back to the Imperial City.”

    “I don’t want to go back.” Yun Xingze refused directly.

    “Because of your outstanding performance, your dad decided to reward you with a mecha.” Qin Shuang said calmly, “It’s worth about six million.”

    Yun Xingze knew in his heart that the purpose of the Yun family calling him back must not be to reward him a mecha.

    He sneered and said, “Calling me back, what is it for? Just tell me directly.”

    Qin Shuang knew she couldn’t hide it from Yun Xingze, so she said directly: “It’s about your engagement with Chi Yu. We want to discuss it with the Chi family. Although you and Chi Yu broke your engagement, this matter involves the interests of both parties and the future of the company, so you have to come back.”

    Yun Xingze raised his eyebrows: “What if I don’t agree?”

    “Then we will go to Noah Star to find out.”  Qin Shuang said coldly. “You don’t want to embarrass everyone, do you?”

    Yun Xingze fell silent.

    Afterwards, Qin Shuang lowered her posture and said softly, “Xingze, whether you accept this marriage or not, you have to speak clearly in front of the two families. The choice to reject Chi Yu or accept Chi Yu is in your hands.”

    Qin Shuang thought that Yun Xingze would refuse directly, but after a few seconds, Yun Xingze agreed to Qin Shuang’s request: “Okay, I will go back.”

    Qin Shuang was slightly surprised and asked, “You’re finally enlightened?”

    Yun Xingze didn’t answer and hung up.

    The reason why he agreed to Qin Shuang’s request was not because of the mecha, nor because of Chi Yu, but because of Luo Wenchuan.

    Qin Shuang is right, this marriage is related to the interests of the two families.

    The reason why Chi Yu has been stalking Yun Xingze is because the Yun family and the Chi family have inextricably linked interests, so he can be so unscrupulous.

    And now, Yun Xingze confirmed that the person he likes is Luo Wenchuan.

    Before expressing his heart to Luo Wenchuan, Yun Xingze wanted to cut off the connection between the Yun family and the Chi family.

    He didn’t want Luo Wenchuan to be involved in these messes.

    As for what to do…

    As Yun Xingze was thinking about it, a doorbell rang suddenly at the door.

    He was startled, and immediately wiped his face and walked towards the door.

    The person who came to him early in the morning was most likely Luo Wenchuan.

    For some reason, Yun Xingze suddenly became a little nervous.

    The tension magnified when his fingers touched the doorknob. Yun Xingze swallowed, and after a while, he slowly opened the door.

    Standing in the doorway was a tall figure.

    Yun Xingze subconsciously looked into Luo Wenchuan’s eyes. The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze for a second.

    Luo Wenchuan hadn’t slept well last night, and there were faint blue circles under his eyes.

    His facial features were as cold and handsome as usual, and the sloppy appearance from last night was completely gone.

    However, when he saw Yun Xingze, the flicker in his eyes betrayed him.

    After a long silence, Luo Wenchuan’s eyes fell on Yun Xingze’s neck. Yun Xingze subconsciously wanted to reach out to cover it, but his hand was quickly grabbed by a wide palm.

    “Last night,” Luo Wenchuan pursed his lower lip and opened his mouth to break the embarrassing tension. “Did I bite you?”

    Yun Xingze swallowed, his voice slightly hoarse: “…a bit.”

    Hearing his response, Luo Wenchuan’s fingers involuntarily landed on Yun Xingze’s glands.

    After omega is marked by an alpha, there will be the urge to rely on and surrender to the alpha. Although the effect of the temporary marker is not that strong, Yun Xingze still trembled instinctively.

    Luo Wenchuan’s thinly callused fingertips gently stroked Yun Xingze’s glands as he watched with a bit of guilt in his eyes. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

    Yun Xingze felt that the piece of skin being touched grow hot, burning, and was even hotter than last night.

    So, he took a deep breath, restrained the trembling in his voice, and uttered two words: “Don’t…”

    Luo Wenchuan was stunned.

    Yun Xingze took a step back, his tone a little unnatural: “Don’t touch that place.”

    It was also Luo Wenchuan’s first time marking an omega. Naturally, he didn’t know that his actions would cause trouble to Yun Xingze.

    It’s just that his susceptible period hasn’t passed yet. When he saw Yun Xingze, he instinctively wants to be next to him.

    Luo Wenchuan took a step forward and looked down at Yun Xingze.

    Yun Xingze raised his eyes, only to feel that the distance between the two was playing foul. He could see Luo Wenchuan’s clear eyes, the reflection in his eyes, and…

    Love.

    The next second, a faint smell of tequila crept into Yun Xingze’s nose. This is probably the lingering pheromone that Luo Wenchuan hadn’t cleaned up from his clothing.

    The moment Yun Xingze smelled the scent, his legs immediately began to soften.

    He hurriedly took a few steps back, panic flashing across his face.

    Seeing that Yun Xingze had been hiding from him, Luo Wenchuan frowned and asked, “Yun Xingze, why are you hiding from me?”

    Yun Xingze didn’t have time to explain. He was afraid that he would throw himself into the other’s arms.

    One of them stepped back and the other approached.

    Then Yun Xingze’s legs suddenly hit the edge of the sofa.

    “Be careful!”

    Luo Wenchuan opened his eyes wide, and before he could finish speaking, Yun Xingze had already fallen backwards.

    The next second, Luo Wenchuan rushed forward, while Yun Xingze grabbed his collar in a panic, and brought him down on the sofa together.

    “Bang.”

    After a soft sound, Yun Xingze lay down on the sofa, while Luo Wenchuan put his hands on both sides of his neck, fearing that he would crush Yun Xingze.

    The moment their eyes met, both of them were full of surprise and astonishment.

    Luo Wenchuan’s throat rolled.

    The touch of the sofa is soft.

    But Luo Wenchuan was not.

    Yun Xingze stared at Luo Wenchuan’s eyes for a while, then looked away unnaturally.

    Luo Wenchuan asked in a low voice: “Are…are you okay?”

    Yun Xingze gave a soft “en”, and said, “Why… why don’t you get up first?”

    Luo Wenchuan was silent for a while, then slowly got up. Their legs remained in contact, making the atmosphere more ambiguous.

    After a while, Yun Xingze said to Luo Wenchuan: “You shouldn’t have so much physical contact with me…”

    Luo Wenchuan lowered his eyes slightly, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.

    In the next second, Yun Xingze explained: “Omegas will be very sensitive to the alpha that marks them after being marked.”

    Luo Wenchuan then realized that his every move just now teased Yun Xingze. Immediately, he swallowed his saliva and said hoarsely: “I see.”

    When the two of them finally calmed down, Luo Wenchuan looked at Yun Xingze and asked, “Go down to breakfast together?”

    “Okay.” Yun Xingze nodded.

    Before going out, Luo Wenchuan suddenly stopped Yun Xingze.

    Yun Xingze looked back at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

    Luo Wenchuan paused for a while before he finally looked at Yun Xingze’s head and said slowly, “…Your hair is messed up. ”

    This wasn’t what Luo Wenchuan wanted to say.

    But now, he can’t reveal his heart.

    Before the identity of the heir was confirmed, Luo Wenchuan’s confession would only attract the attention of the Alliance and cause trouble to Yun Xingze.

    He wants to protect Yun Xingze.

    Yun Xingze adjusted his hair absentmindedly, and went out to have breakfast with Luo Wenchuan.

    At this moment, Yun Xingze’s heart was equally troubled.

    He fell in love with someone for the first time, but he couldn’t express it right away.

    He didn’t want his family’s affairs to become a psychological burden on Luo Wenchuan.

    After arriving the restaurant, Luo Wenchuan put away his thoughts and raised the corners of his lips to Yun Xingze: “Do you want to eat bean paste buns, Xingze xuedi?”

    “That’s too sweet,” Yun Xingze smiled, as if nothing had happened. “Let’s have steamed buns, Senior Dachuan.”

    The two sat together to eat. None of the school team members had any idea what happened last night; the bite marks on Yun Xingze’s neck were too faint to be seen.

    However, the seemingly non-existent ambiguity between the two of them still made Chi Yu very unhappy.

    He sat in a dark corner, tightened his fingers, suddenly sneered, and muttered in a low voice, “After this weekend, Yun Xingze will be my person…”

    Chi Yin told Chi Yu, it won’t be long before the ‘AO must be together’ bill would applied nationwide.

    The time is this weekend.

    As long as Yun Xingze is tricked back to the Imperial City, he can only be with Chi Yu obediently.

    This matter is something even the Yun family does not know.

     

    Dun, dun, dun…
