Chapter 51: Food Protector

Deputy Zhong had already drafted a clarification statement for Luo Ke, all he needed to do was cooperate and shoot an apology video, saying that he had been misled by Ji Jing, and it could be released.

However, Luo Ke refused to cooperate, insisting that his actions were voluntary and that he had not been misled in any way. He was willing to bear all the blame himself and did not want Ji Jing to take the fall.

This is why the clarification statement was delayed and not released.

Then, the anxious Deputy Zhong saw the post Ji Jing had made.

He was stunned.

Could this really happen?

This omega was truly bold!

To actually release a deep pheromone gland sample test report as evidence, with Luo Tang En's name prominently displayed on it—wasn't this declaring to the world, "I slept with Luo Tang En"?

But seeing the shift in public opinion, Deputy Zhong had to admit that, at this moment, he also admired Ji Jing's boldness.

Regardless of Ji Jing's intentions, this move had indeed saved Luo Ke from the frying pan.

Now, everyone's attention was on whether Ed Griss was straight or not, and if he was capable, reducing the focus on Luo Ke. His fans no longer strongly demanded that he come forward to explain.

Deputy Zhong did not hide this matter; he showed Luo Ke the trending topic on his optical computer screen, exclaiming, "We can revise our clarification statement. Putting aside everything else, this Ji Jing is really bold!"

However, when Luo Ke saw the post Ji Jing had made, he frowned deeply.

He immediately called Ji Jing, who had just returned to Luo Ke's house and was sitting cross-legged on a wool carpet, petting Dahua while using cat treats to lure Xiaohua.

When the call connected, Ji Jing's lazy voice came through, "Hmm? Luo Ke, you're looking for me?"

Luo Ke felt suffocated, his voice hoarse, "Ji Jing, when you said you went to the hospital for a check-up, did you mean the deep pheromone gland sample test?"

Hearing Luo Ke's voice, Xiaohua approached Ji Jing's optical computer, and Ji Jing scooped the cow cat into his arms, scratching its chin while replying, "Hmm? What's wrong? Are you unhappy that your name is on the test report?"

"It's not that..."

Seeing only his own Alpha name on the test report, Luo Ke was naturally happy, but...

"I don't want you to prove yourself this way; it's unfair to you." Luo Ke said gloomily.

In his view, this was even a form of humiliation for Ji Jing.

But Ji Jing just chuckled, "I don't mind, so why are you so troubled? Besides, the one who needs to prove themselves now is Ed Griss."

"Does it hurt?"

Ji Jing was puzzled, "Hmm?"

Luo Ke's mood remained low, "I heard that the deep pheromone gland sample test is very painful."

"It's okay."

Ji Jing comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. Are you hungry? Do you have a lot of things to do? I can cook something and send it over to you?"

Luo Ke was silent for two seconds before saying, "Sure, thank you!"

"That... "

After Luo Ke hung up, Deputy Zhong, who had listened to the entire conversation, smiled awkwardly, "Boss, can you ask Ji Jing to make an extra portion? I'll cover the delivery fee and all the ingredients, hehe..."

These past few days, not only was Luo Ke busy, but Deputy Zhong was also swamped. Previously, when Ji Jing sent a loving lunch box to Luo Ke, it smelled so good.

Unfortunately, Luo Ke was very protective of his food, and Deputy Zhong only got to smell it, not even a sip of the soup. He was really craving it.

At the time, he even suspected that the reason his boss had taken a liking to Ji Jing was because of his cooking skills.

Now, Deputy Zhong put on a smiling face, trying to get a share from his boss.

But unfortunately, Luo Ke rejected him without mercy, "No way, Ji Jing made it specifically for me. Why should I give it to you? Am I short of your delivery fee? Or can't I afford high-quality ingredients?"

Deputy Zhong: "..."

This wasn't just about being protective of his food; it was also because Deputy Zhong had just advised him to shift the blame to Ji Jing, and he was holding a grudge.

An hour later, Ji Jing's loving lunch box was delivered to Luo Ke's office.

Deputy Zhong drank nutritional liquid on the side, swallowing saliva resentfully, while Luo Ke took a photo of the fragrant lunch box first.

Two meat dishes, one vegetable, and one soup, the portions were generous, and the presentation was exquisite.

Seeing Luo Ke finish taking the photo and operate his optical computer, Deputy Zhong thought he was sending a message to Ji Jing, assuming his boss was head-over-heels in love and beyond saving.

But then, Deputy Zhong's optical computer "dinged," which was the special notification sound he had set up for Luo Ke.

Startled, Deputy Zhong quickly opened his optical computer and saw the post Luo Ke had just made on his social media account—

"Don't interfere with my search for a wife. If she runs away, can you compensate me?"

The accompanying picture was the loving lunch box he had just photographed.

Watching the comments refresh, Deputy Zhong exploded—

"Ahhh!!! Boss, delete it! Delete it quickly! What are you doing?! How can you post such a status? The public interest has just cooled down a bit, how can you flaunt your love at this time?!!!"

As he spoke, Deputy Zhong tried to grab Luo Ke's optical computer, wishing he could delete the post himself.

But Luo Ke pulled back his optical computer, guarding the lunch box in front of him with his other hand, his face clearly showing refusal.

"I won't delete it! They all say Ji Jing isn't good enough for me, but what gives them the right to say that? I think Ji Jing is perfect and outstanding. If anyone isn't good enough, it's me who isn't good enough for him!"

Luo Ke's love-struck words made Zhong's scalp tingle, "What are you talking about? You are the Sword of the Empire, the War God of the Empire! How can you think you're not good enough for Ji Jing?"

"He's just a divorced Omega. There are countless Omegas in the entire empire who are more excellent than him. Why did you have to choose him?"

"Even if you chose him, why post such a status? Aren't you just rubbing salt in the wounds of those fans who trust you?"

Luo Ke's face darkened, "What do you mean? Is there anything wrong with me defending the person I like? Are all the Omegas in the empire just for me to pick and choose from?"

Zhong subconsciously replied, "Of course, you are the Sword of the Empire, the dream A in every Omega's heart!"

Luo Ke countered, "Do you remember what happened to those Omegas who tried to trap me before?"

Zhong choked, immediately recalling the incidents.

Generally, Alphas soon after coming of age would choose an Omega partner, even if they don't marry immediately, they would at least get engaged.

This is because during their heat cycles, Alphas need the pheromones of an Omega partner to soothe them. The stronger the Alpha, the more this is true; otherwise, heat cycles would be unbearable for them.

Luo Ke has delayed until now, not because he enjoys being single, but because he hasn't found a suitable Omega.

Ordinary Omegas simply can't withstand the overwhelming pressure from his powerful mental energy. For most Alphas, Luo Ke's pheromones are a terrifying threat, and for delicate Omegas, they are almost as frightening as the scent of death.

There were a few Omegas who, lusting after Luo Ke's status and looks, had drugged and approached him.

But in the end, those Omegas were all sent to the hospital, and afterward, they would tremble and show fear at the mere mention of Luo Tang En's name.

Their families, with impure motives, tried to extort money from Luo Ke, claiming he had violated their Omegas.

However, when the surveillance footage was reviewed, it proved that Luo Ke hadn't touched any of those Omegas. He had merely leaked a bit of pheromone due to the drug's influence.

Then, upon smelling Luo Ke's pheromones, those Omegas were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, some even losing control of their bladders and bowels.
