Chapter 6
What would he do if he hadn’t encountered Lu Heng again?
An Le had already thought it through. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Heng, his voice weak, “Go… go to the hospital and get the marking reversed.”
He didn’t want to be an alpha’s possession, didn’t want to live without freedom again.
He didn’t want to hold the alpha who marked him responsible, nor would he sue him. He just wanted the marking reversed.
Only, alphas probably didn’t like it when their marked omegas said they wanted the marking reversed.
Their possessiveness was so strong that even if they didn’t like the omega, they wouldn’t let the omega leave their control.
An Le fearfully closed his eyes. He was afraid Lu Heng would get angry, or something else…
But the expected anger didn’t come. Curiously, he opened his eyes to look at Lu Heng, taking a while to see his expression clearly.
Lu Heng asked with a smile in his eyes, “Since you want the marking reversed, why haven’t you done it yet? It’s been half a month.”
At the mention of this, An Le guiltily lowered his head, “I… I haven’t saved enough money.”
He had no money. Neither when he was living at home nor after escaping did he have money.
He didn’t dare to find a job in a regular company, not only because he wasn’t comfortable interacting with people but also because he didn’t know how to do those things. He hadn’t learned, and he didn’t know how.
Most importantly, he was afraid that if he worked, those people would find him.
Therefore, his money came from drawing pictures that children liked and writing stories about the beautiful things he longed for. Xiao Xiao submitted them to children’s magazines under his own name, received the wages, and then gave the money to An Le.
He needed to pay rent, eat, and save money for his eyes, so he was very poor.
Getting the marking reversed would probably take a long time.
An Le was so embarrassed that tears welled up in his eyes. He didn’t know why, but he had gone through so much humiliation as a child, yet in front of Lu Heng, he felt so incapable of holding his head high.
Lu Heng: “I’ll give you the money.”
An Le looked up curiously, his pretty face still wet with tears, whispering, “You… you’ll give me money to get the marking reversed?”
Lu Heng was amused.
He reached out and ruffled An Le’s hair, “Of course not. I mean, I’ll give you money, and you’ll marry me.”
“Mar-marriage?”
Marrying an alpha was something An Le had never even considered in his life.
When he was very young, he knew that he would be given as a gift to powerful people the An family needed to curry favor with.
In the words of the An family, if he were to get married, it would only be in his dreams.
“Yes.”
Lu Heng released more calming pheromones, ensuring that An Le’s emotions calmed down before putting him down from his lap. Then he said, “I apologize for hurting you in the restroom that day. I was in heat, and for some reason, I lost control. I found you and marked you instinctively. Do you know why?”
An Le was stunned, then shook his head, his gaze evasive.
But Lu Heng pinched his chin, “Look at me.”
An Le trembled again, his shoulders slightly shrinking, “I… I am.”
Seeing that the omega was obedient, Lu Heng continued, “Our pheromone compatibility is very high, and the marking is complete. You can alleviate the symptoms of me losing control during my heat, and I happen to need an omega to marry. You’re very suitable, so… we’ll get married. What do you think?”
Marriage…
An Le’s mind was a little confused. He didn’t know what to do, didn’t know if Lu Heng was lying, and didn’t know whether he should agree.
Lu Heng knew that omegas like An Le had clearly suffered a lot of bullying.
Before An Le could answer, he said again, “After you marry me, I can help you manage your heat cycles and deal with those… those who made you so timid.”
Hearing this, An Le was even more surprised, so surprised that he forgot to be afraid. He asked incredulously, “What?”
Lu Heng straightened his clothes, which An Le had ruffled, and calmly said, “Didn’t you understand? Let me say it again.”
“I said, I can help you deal with those who hurt you, and from now on, no one will ever bully or hurt you again. Marry me, and you’ll be safe.”
No one will ever bully him again!
Hearing this, An Le didn’t realize he had reached out and grabbed Lu Heng’s arm.
He didn’t know if Lu Heng was telling the truth, but it was the life he had longed for since childhood.
Lu Heng noticed An Le’s reaction and knew that such a sensitive omega wouldn’t easily believe him, so he said, “Don’t be afraid, and don’t worry that I’m lying to you. I’ll give you time to consider, and I’ll prove my capabilities. But you need to give me your answer before my next heat cycle.”
