Chapter 6: Former Husband
“Second Prince, please leave.”
Shen Zhuo hadn’t even reached his room when he heard his father dismissing a guest.
The familiar pheromone scent indicated the young Alpha’s emotions were in great turmoil.
Telling Xia Dou to wait outside, he pushed open the door to the reception room.
General Shen sat expressionlessly in the main seat, with Jiang Yuening on his left sipping tea.
Feng Ming’s forced amiable demeanor almost cracked the moment he saw Shen Zhuo.
His seeming gentleness looked increasingly sinister:
“You’re back, your father said you want to cancel the engagement?”
“Yes.”
No longer burdened by the past, Shen Zhuo felt completely light. He realized his previous vision was really poor.
Feng Ming was handsome in appearance, but Shen Zhuo could sense the calculation behind his gaze, without even using his ability, knowing what the man was thinking.
“But clearly…!”
Shen Zhuo indifferently stated:
“Second Prince, our marriage was just something I insisted on. Now I’ve decided to let it go, I wish you and your true love happiness.”
Blinded by emotion, or perhaps needing to advance the plot, the previous Shen Zhuo had only eyes for Feng Ming.
Renouncing his status, his pride, his dignity.
But he was the only son of the Shen family, a hawk nurtured in jewels and honor.
What he wanted, he could always obtain.
What he didn’t want, he discarded like worn-out shoes.
“How could it be something you insisted on.”
Feng Ming still thought Shen Zhuo was just throwing a little tantrum, coming over with a gentle and amiable expression, trying to take his hand:
“Xiao Zhuo, after we’re married, you’ll be my only empress, I’ll treat you well.”
Shen Zhuo sneered, the frost in his dark eyes glinting under his long lashes:
“I’ll go explain to His Majesty, he’ll agree.”
Feng Ming paused, only now realizing in a panic that Shen Zhuo was truly serious.
The young man’s attitude was completely different from before.
He had never worried that this Omega who was completely infatuated with him would propose separation.
If it weren’t for trying to win over the General to obtain the weapons depot…
Thinking of this, Feng Ming suppressed his unease, releasing a bit of sandalwood pheromone to try and soothe:
“Don’t say such things, the wedding is tomorrow.”
Shen Zhuo’s brow furrowed, his already red-rimmed eyes getting even more moist from the physiological reaction, stirring Feng Ming’s heart.
Had this person always been this good-looking?
But the next moment, he saw the young man take out the marriage certificate, turning his head in disgust:
“Stay away from me, your pheromone makes me sick.”
Feng Ming’s expression abruptly stiffened, reaching out to snatch the booklet from the young man’s hand: “Don’t joke around…”
Before he could touch it, an impatient voice interrupted him –
“Didn’t you hear what my son said, Second Prince, please leave now.” General Shen stood up.
By his side, the beautiful Omega raised his long phoenix eyes, the high-level glands releasing a slight, oppressive pheromone.
“I hope you’ll heed the warning.” The Omega said gently and kindly, but his gaze was exceptionally cold:
“Otherwise, no matter how serious the injury, I can treat you, and no one else will know.”
The man involuntarily covered the back of his neck, his lips starting to turn purple, his knees gradually bending.
Seeing he still didn’t want to leave, Shen Zhuo said, “Xia Dou, see the guest out.”
The sweet and pretty maid lifted her skirt and quickly stepped forward. Just as Feng Ming was feeling impatient, she suddenly produced a dagger out of thin air, holding it to the Alpha’s neck.
The sharp blade’s imprint reflected the Alpha’s panicked expression, Xia Dou’s voice saccharine:
“Please leave.”
“Fine, I’m going!” Feng Ming glared darkly, gritting his teeth, “Shen Zhuo, we’ll meet again!”
The Alpha, suppressed by the high-level pheromone, left the reception room in a disheveled manner.
