Chapter 96
“Ah?”
An Le froze. So, Lu Heng had seen him looking at another alpha?
Seeing An Le’s dazed expression, Lu Heng reached out, took An Le’s arm, and led him back to the office.
As soon as they entered, An Le was pressed against the door by Lu Heng: “Le Le, was he handsome?”
An Le instinctively wanted to nod, because the alpha was indeed handsome, with a bright and sunny aura that made people feel happy.
But he knew he couldn’t praise another alpha’s handsomeness in front of Lu Heng, otherwise Lu Heng would be upset.
Just as he would be upset if Lu Heng praised another omega’s beauty in front of him.
So, An Le shook his head and whispered, “Not as handsome as sir.”
“Liar.”
Lu Heng murmured, “When did my little Le Le learn to lie?”
An Le: “No, I didn’t lie to sir.”
He really hadn’t lied to Lu Heng. Although the alpha was indeed handsome, Lu Heng was also not bad, there was no comparison.
Moreover, Lu Heng’s status in An Le’s heart was far higher than anyone else’s.
But this time Lu Heng held An Le’s hand, slowly touching the scar above his left eyebrow: “Ugly?”
“Not ugly.”
An Le shook his head and whispered, “It’s just, it just looks a little fierce.”
Lu Heng burst out laughing, pulling An Le into his arms without saying anything else.
When it was time to get off work, Lu Heng took An Le home, but as soon as they arrived, Lu Heng said, “Stay home, I still have something to do, I’ll be back later.”
Only then did An Le realize that Lu Heng had only sent him home.
An Le pursed his lips. He didn’t know what was going on at Lu Heng’s company lately, only that Lu Heng was very busy.
But when would this busy period end?
An Le felt a little disappointed, but he still nodded: “Mm, sir, be careful.”
Lu Heng ruffled his head and turned to leave.
An Le pouted and sat down on the sofa in the living room. With Lu Heng not home, he didn’t even have the desire to eat. He didn’t cook, and after sitting on the sofa in a daze for a while, he went to take a bath and sleep.
While sleeping, he kept thinking about what Xiao Xiao had said yesterday, that an alpha would show possessiveness when he discovered his omega secretly looking at other alphas.
But today, Lu Heng had seen him looking at another alpha, but Lu Heng didn’t seem angry, nor did he do anything… related to possessiveness.
An Le thought about it for a while without understanding, pulled the covers over himself, and fell asleep.
The weather had been getting colder recently. The blankets were the warmest place. But in the middle of the night, An Le suddenly felt a cold draft.
He opened his eyes drowsily and found that Lu Heng had returned.
He instinctively rushed over to hug Lu Heng, his voice soft: “Sir, why did you come back so late?”
“Busy.”
Lu Heng held him, a smile on his lips: “Sleep, we’ll talk about anything else tomorrow.”
“Mm.”
An Le was already very sleepy. Now that Lu Heng was back, he felt completely at ease, and hearing this, he closed his eyes peacefully.
An Le opened his eyes the next morning and found that Lu Heng, who usually woke up earlier than him, was still asleep.
The first thought that flashed through An Le’s mind was: Sir is exhausted lately.
He was even sleeping in.
An Le felt a pang of sympathy. Just as he was about to get out of Lu Heng’s arms to make breakfast, he saw a bandage on Lu Heng’s left eyebrow.
An Le was very curious. He reached out to touch the bandage, but Lu Heng suddenly grabbed his arm.
An Le: “Sir, what happened to you here?”
Lu Heng: “Nothing.”
His voice still had a lazy tone from having just woken up: “You’ll know later.”
An Le pursed his lips and said, “Oh, then sir, sleep a little longer, I’ll go make breakfast.”
Lu Heng didn’t stand on ceremony: “Mm.”
An Le kissed Lu Heng’s face and then got out of bed and went to the kitchen.
After breakfast, An Le and Lu Heng went to the company together.
However, when passing the employee office, An Le suddenly found that the sunny and handsome alpha from yesterday was gone.
And when others occasionally met his gaze, they immediately looked away.
He looked at Lu Heng curiously and began to guess that Lu Heng wouldn’t really have fired that alpha, would he?
An Le was dumbfounded. He hadn’t intended for the alpha to lose his job!
He had indeed wanted to see if Lu Heng would be jealous, if he had possessiveness.
But he didn’t want to harm an innocent person by making them lose their job.
Back in the office, An Le quickly pulled Lu Heng and anxiously asked, “Sir, where did that alpha go yesterday?”
Lu Heng looked up at the sound of this, a somewhat ambiguous emotion in his eyes, and softly asked, “You want to find him?”
“No.”
An Le subconsciously lowered his head and told Lu Heng what he had talked about with Xiao Xiao the day before.
After finishing, his face was so red he could barely stand it.
Because if Lu Heng had really done that for him, it would be fine, but if not, it would seem like he was being self-delusional.
But no matter what, it was best to talk about it between them. It would be even better if it didn’t affect the alpha’s job.
An Le’s voice became smaller and smaller: “Sir, I’m sorry, I, I shouldn’t have done that, but, I, I don’t want to cause him to lose his job.”
After hearing An Le’s words, the expression on Lu Heng’s face relaxed slightly, and then he chuckled softly. He sat down in his office chair, pulled An Le into his arms, and said, “Really?”
An Le nodded: “Really.”
Lu Heng didn’t speak, and after a few seconds, he made an internal call, asking someone to return an alpha to his original position.
An Le stared blankly at Lu Heng. So, Lu Heng didn’t react on the surface, but secretly did what he should have done?
Lu Heng pinched An Le’s nose and helplessly said, “Ask me directly if you have any questions in the future. Don’t test me like this. He was able to get that position right after his internship, which shows how much I value his abilities. But because of you, I transferred him to the logistics department.”
But thankfully, there were no major misunderstandings, and the talent could still be used.
An Le lowered his head self-reproachfully and softly apologized: “I’m sorry.”
Lu Heng didn’t speak, but simply hugged An Le and leaned down to kiss him.
He knew that An Le’s childhood environment had made him insecure, but he was the same.
How could an alpha not have possessiveness? He certainly wouldn’t. It’s just that he didn’t want to scare An Le.
An alpha with fully unleashed possessiveness was something an omega couldn’t bear.
It was just that after so many years of civilization, alphas gradually realized that they needed to respect omegas. The era when alphas had absolute authority and omegas had to submit was over.
Facing An Le, Lu Heng had tried his best to suppress his instincts, but he didn’t expect that An Le would foolishly come to test him.
He couldn’t take it anymore. He couldn’t hold back.
The office door was locked, the atmosphere inside the office was heated…
Outside the office.
The alpha, who had been told to transfer to the logistics department when he came to work in the morning, was dumbfounded as he carried his belongings away.
He kept thinking, wasn’t he favored by the boss? As long as he performed well these few months, after his probationary period, he would have a bright future.
But why was he being transferred to the logistics department after only a few days on the job?
Could it be that he was tricked during the recruitment?
The alpha walked along, considering whether to change jobs.
But just as he stepped into the logistics department, someone called to tell him to return to his original position.
So, the alpha returned, equally dumbfounded.
Only after returning did someone explain to him that there had been a mistake in personnel, that the wrong person had been transferred.
——
An Le lay on the bed in the break room, tearfully pleading: “Sir, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again.”
Lu Heng smiled: “Now you regret it? Is that useful?”
An Le knew it was his own fault, but it was too scary. No wonder Xiao Xiao had wanted to escape from Gu Qian before.
He was an omega, and he was most compatible with an alpha. Even he felt scared, let alone Xiao Xiao.
Moreover, this was only the result of Lu Heng cherishing him and leaving some leeway.
An Le hugged Lu Heng and began to act cute: “Sir, sir…”
After a long time, the break room finally returned to calm.
An Le was already asleep from exhaustion.
Lu Heng sat by the bed, feeling a constant pain in his left forehead. Normally, this level of pain wouldn’t bother him, but the situation was different now.
He took a shower, changed his clothes, and went out.
When An Le woke up, he was the only one in the room.
He endured the discomfort and moved around in bed, looking left and right, finding that Lu Heng wasn’t there. He thought Lu Heng had gone to work.
Yawning, he went to the bathroom, then got dressed and walked out with shaky legs.
When he went out, Lu Heng was still not there, but Lu Chuan had arrived.
And because Lu Heng didn’t allow Lu Chuan to come to the office, he was wearing a hat and mask, covering himself completely.
Therefore, when Lu Chuan entered the office, An Le thought that a criminal had come.
But on second thought, this was Lu Heng’s company. How could a criminal enter the CEO’s office without causing any commotion?
Just as he was wondering, Lu Chuan pulled down his mask.
Seeing An Le, Lu Chuan walked over with a smile: “Le Le, long time no see, how have you been recently?”
An Le was startled, worried that Lu Chuan would find another excuse to scold him, and instinctively wanted to run back to the break room to hide.
But Lu Chuan, being an alpha, was countless times faster than him. Moreover, after the long battle with Lu Heng, An Le had little strength left and his legs were still weak.
He looked at Lu Chuan vigilantly and angrily asked, “What do you want?”
Lu Chuan: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Le Le, Dad is here today to discuss something with you.”
Lu Chuan couldn’t get any advantage from Lu Heng, so he came to An Le to play the family card. With a smile on his face, he took out a small blue velvet jewelry box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a men’s sapphire ring.
He said with a smile, “Le Le, look, I heard you like sapphires, Dad specially had someone find this, look, do you like it?”
