Chapter One Hundred and One
An Le’s plan had been exposed by Lu Heng.
And Lu Heng had coldly and mercilessly told him the plan was useless, ordering him to pack up and go home quickly.
An Le pouted as he sat up, helplessly getting out of bed. He took a bag from the cabinet and started stuffing in his phone, charger, some new little trinkets he’d bought these past few days, and the snacks he could eat.
Lu Heng stood beside him, helping him pack while asking, “Upset?”
An Le pouted: “No.”
Lu Heng: “If you’re not upset, why are you pouting?”
An Le immediately pressed his lips together: “I’m not pouting anymore.”
Lu Heng held back a smile as he helped pack everything up, changed An Le’s clothes, then walked toward the door with An Le’s hand in one hand and the bag in the other.
Xiao Xiao was still sitting in the hallway outside, with Gu Qian sitting beside him. Neither said anything, both their gazes unconsciously following him and Lu Heng.
In that moment, An Le understood what Lu Heng meant.
It really wasn’t like he’d planned. If he kept staying at the hospital with Xiao Xiao, the most likely outcome would be Gu Qian constantly hanging around the hospital too.
Even if they wouldn’t be all lovey-dovey in the hospital room, Gu Qian would do things behind his back, or call Xiao Xiao away after he fell asleep.
Then Xiao Xiao wouldn’t just have to keep him company and play with him, but would also have to secretly keep Gu Qian company. Xiao Xiao’s body definitely couldn’t handle it.
An Le sighed helplessly in his heart, then turned to Xiao Xiao and said, “Xiao Xiao, Sir came to pick me up for discharge.”
Xiao Xiao nodded: “Alright, then I’ll pack up and go home too in a bit.”
Gu Qian smiled especially happily: “Finally going home, that’s great!”
Hearing this, An Le glared fiercely at Gu Qian, but Gu Qian acted like he didn’t see it and pulled Xiao Xiao into the hospital room.
An Le kept looking back as he walked, but didn’t see Xiao Xiao and Gu Qian come out.
The moment he got in the car, An Le asked, “Sir, have you resolved the Lu family matters?”
During this time in the hospital, they’d had a pretty good time, with no so-called Lu family members suddenly appearing to disturb them.
An Le felt that Lu Heng must have already taken care of everything.
But regrettably, Lu Heng shook his head: “Not yet.”
He’d wanted to finish things quickly too, but he’d underestimated how shameless the Lu family could be, yet he couldn’t directly uproot the Lu family’s foundation.
After several days of back-and-forth with the Lu family with no results, they’d finally brought out Gu Rou, hoping he’d back off.
But no one knew that the moment he saw Gu Rou, the hesitation about not wanting to touch the Lu family’s foundation disappeared from his heart.
Lu Heng: “But soon. Just one last step.”
Just one last step, and things would be completely over.
An Le didn’t really understand business matters. Since Lu Heng was about to finish, he didn’t need to worry about it so much.
So he pointed at the gauze on Lu Heng’s face and asked in confusion, “Sir, the gauze on your head has been there for many days. What exactly happened?”
Speaking of the gauze on his head…
Lu Heng smiled and turned his head, saying softly, “Why don’t you lift it and see?”
“Me?”
An Le was somewhat surprised: “But Sir, didn’t you say before that it couldn’t be removed?”
“Now it can be.”
Lu Heng pulled An Le’s hand to the gauze on his face and said softly, “Lift it and see.”
Although An Le had already guessed, he was still excited. He slowly lifted the gauze and indeed saw smooth skin, no longer bearing that fierce scar.
Even where the eyebrow had been split and no hair grew, there were eyebrows again.
Lu Heng had always been handsome, but that scar on his face made him look fierce and cold, unapproachable. Now without the scar, all that remained was beauty and gentleness.
An Le carefully touched where the scar used to be and said quietly, “Sir, the scar is gone.”
Lu Heng nodded, a hint of pride in his eyes, and asked softly, “Right, don’t I look better than that intern?”
An Le hadn’t expected that after all this time, Lu Heng was still bothered by that intern he’d accidentally looked at.
Pressing his lips together to hold back a laugh, he said quietly, “Yes, Sir’s scar is gone. Not only are you more handsome, but you look so gentle, not fierce at all.”
Lu Heng couldn’t hold back. As soon as An Le finished speaking, he pressed him into his arms and kissed him…
Li Jie in the front seat raised the partition while internally complaining: Only An Le thinks Lu Heng is gentle.
Pull anyone else over and ask—who would think Lu Heng was gentle?
Even if you asked Xiao Xiao, he definitely wouldn’t have such an illusion.
Before the partition was fully up, Li Jie already smelled the strong omega and alpha pheromones. He cursed under his breath: “Alphas really are something else. That impatient? Can’t wait until they get home?”
Li Jie kept talking while driving. After the partition was up, he continued cursing: “Gu Qian’s no good either. I’m gonna steal that spendthrift beta Xiao Xiao and piss him off.”
He wondered if Xiao Xiao could coax Gu Qian into developing a drug to get rid of Gu Qian.
If not, extracting his pheromones would work too.
Li Jie sent Xiao Xiao a message while driving, only to discover the message wouldn’t send—he’d been blocked.
Li Jie was so angry he almost threw his phone: “Must be Gu Qian’s doing!”
Li Jie drifted the car into the underground garage. Not knowing if things were finished in the back, he could only take out his phone and play games to pass the time.
——
When they finished, it was already dark.
An Le was wrapped in Lu Heng’s coat and carried into the elevator.
But before entering the elevator, he heard Li Jie say angrily, “You two made me wait this long, I even missed dinner. You owe me dinner compensation!”
Lu Heng: “Got it.”
An Le was still a bit dazed, but hearing Li Jie’s words, he asked quietly after the elevator doors closed, “Sir, does Li Jie like Xiao Xiao?”
Lu Heng: “Why do you ask?”
An Le thought for a moment before saying, “I just feel like after Li Jie went to rescue Xiao Xiao last time, he came back different.”
He couldn’t say exactly what was different, but he just felt Li Jie had changed.
The elevator quickly arrived. Lu Heng carried An Le out of the elevator, entering the door code while saying, “Maybe. I did originally have him pretend to be Xiao Xiao’s suitor to take Xiao Xiao away from Gu Qian and hide him, but maybe he got too into the role.”
He didn’t know the specifics either. After all, the one with Li Jie at the time was Xiao Xiao, and no one else knew what happened.
“Now, if Li Jie likes Xiao Xiao, who do you think would win if he competed with Gu Qian?”
An Le hoped Xiao Xiao would go with Li Jie.
After all, although Li Jie loved to curse and had a bad temper, he was very attentive and tolerant—so much better than Gu Qian who was pleasant on the surface but sinister underneath.
“But Gu Qian has already won.”
Lu Heng placed him on the sofa, then sat beside him opening the bag, looking at the contents while saying, “Xiao Xiao can’t leave Gu Qian anymore.”
Other omegas in heat, even without an alpha present or without any alpha at all, could buy suppressants or suppression patches—grit their teeth and get through it.
But Xiao Xiao was different.
During Xiao Xiao’s heat, none of the heat suppression products on the market worked on him. The only solution was to be marked by Gu Qian.
Once a month, never able to skip.
Lu Heng: “And about Gu Qian, I think Xiao Xiao has hidden a lot from you. Since he doesn’t want you to know, just pretend everything’s normal when you interact with him.”
“Okay.”
An Le instantly deflated, helplessly sprawling on the sofa without moving.
Lu Heng touched his ear and asked softly, “Have your ears been uncomfortable these past few days?”
An Le shook his head: “No.”
Medical technology was very advanced now. Many surgeries were minimally invasive, and patients could be discharged after just a few days. Although he still needed to rest for a month at home, he really didn’t feel any discomfort at all.
Lu Heng: “Good.”
An Le nodded: “Mm, but Sir, I-I want to take a bath.”
His eyes were already healed, and now his ears were healed too, plus he had an alpha who was very, very good to him.
An Le felt his life was already complete.
Of course, if Xiao Xiao was really as happy as Lu Heng said, that would be even more perfect.
He didn’t know what Xiao Xiao was hiding from him, but no matter what, he hoped Xiao Xiao would be happy.
But right now, he wanted a bath.
Because of the craziness in the car all afternoon, he felt uncomfortable…
Lu Heng looked at An Le’s ears and said softly, “Your ears can’t get wet yet. Be good later, don’t move around. I’ll help you wash.”
An Le’s face instantly turned red. He nodded slightly: “Okay.”
With that, Lu Heng went to run the bath.
Only after the bathtub was full did Lu Heng come out to carry An Le in.
The moment he entered the bathtub, An Le comfortably squinted his eyes. During those days in the hospital, he hadn’t been able to take a bath, and because his ears couldn’t get wet, Xiao Xiao hadn’t even allowed him to shower.
Xiao Xiao would always just bring a basin of water, wash and wipe him down, then send him to bed.
Soaking in the bathtub now felt so comfortable.
Lu Heng: “Sit properly, don’t lean. You might fall.”
If he fell, water would get in his ears and they’d have to go back to the hospital immediately.
An Le quickly sat up straight, but the instant he sat properly, he felt a certain flower’s care for him.
An Le’s expression changed instantly. He instinctively looked up at Lu Heng and called softly, “S-Sir?”
He’d originally wanted to ask for help, but seeing Lu Heng also undressing, he froze. Didn’t Lu Heng say he was helping him wash? Why was he undressing too? Why was he getting in too?
An Le: “Sir, we, we…”
After Lu Heng entered the bathtub, to avoid splashing, he sat down gently and carefully pulled An Le into his arms.
With both of them completely bare, An Le was scared stiff. At a time like this, was Lu Heng really just going to wash him?
Sure enough, Lu Heng leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Lele, be good, don’t move!”
Lu Heng spoke while helping him wash, cleaning out what was left inside his stomach.
An Le said nervously and quietly, “But I’m not moving.”
Lu Heng’s voice was somewhat strained as he panted, “Really?”
An Le: “Y-yes, I-I’m not moving, Sir, y-you’re the one moving.”
