Apex Predator - Chap 66
After getting off the plane, Qu Moyu didn’t go back to his home. Lao Wu picked him up at the airport, packed the things he needed to get through the susceptible period in the trunk, and sent him to the old house.
In the past year, Qu Moyu seldom went home. No matter how busy he is usually, he would go back to accompany his parents to have a meal once or twice a month, but since Mrs. Qu sent Shen Dai away, he has been avoiding his mother .
After getting out of the car, ever since he saw the old butler of the old house, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. He looked at the butler with a questioning look, and the butler was a little helpless.
After entering the room, Qu Moyu saw Zhou Xiaochu who was sitting on the sofa in the living room greeting his parents, his brows frowned.
“Brother Yu.” Zhou Xiaochu stood up, looked at Qu Moyu with a smile, “You just got off the plane, me too, are you tired?” “There is no
vacation recently, why are you back?” Qu Moyu turned to his parents Nodding his head, he looked at Zhou Xiaochu calmly.
Zhou Xiaochu is studying art abroad. He hasn’t graduated yet, and the spring break is over long ago. At this time, he should be at school, not his home.
Zhou Xiaochu said generously: “Aren’t you in the susceptible period? I want to come back to accompany you.”
Qu Shen picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at his son expressionlessly, while Mrs. Qu stroked his son without saying a word. The hand embroidery on the hem of the clothes, the dense stitching and the ingenious design, the closer you look, the more luxurious it is.
“Not yet.” Qu Moyu said, “Xiaochu, you are still studying, you shouldn’t ask for leave casually, you rest for the night, and I will send you back tomorrow.”
Zhou Xiaochu said without changing his face: “Brother Yu, I am you My fiancée, what I should do is to accompany you through the susceptible period, which is much more important than reading.” He gently took Qu Moyu’s hand and said softly, “We are going to join hands for a lifetime, you can Do you trust me?”
Qu Moyu stared at his fiancée, feeling unspeakable irritability in his heart. He knew that Zhou Xiaochu had done nothing wrong. They are all top matches, and they are an impeccable wife candidate that he is very satisfied with.
But he just… became more and more resistant.
He was patient and said softly: “Xiaochu, my susceptibility period has not yet arrived, and we are not married yet, a hasty decision is irresponsible to you, and I can’t explain it to your parents.”
Qu Shen said, “Xiaochu, both of you have just arrived home and are both tired, let’s arrange for you to go to the guest room to rest.”
Although Zhou Xiaochu was disappointed, he didn’t reveal any emotion, and took advantage of the opportunity and went down the steps: “Okay , then please trouble uncle.”
The butler carried Zhou Xiaochu’s luggage and sent him to the guest room.
After the outsider left, the three members of the Qu family stared wide-eyed.
Qu Shen coughed lightly: “Sit down.”
Qu Moyu sat down, his eyes were lowered, but he didn’t want to say a word, and he didn’t want to face any questions from his parents.
“Is everything going well with Lancheng?”
Madam Qu’s heart trembled slightly when she heard Lancheng.
“Successfully, the construction has started, and the prospect is promising.”
Qu Shen nodded: “This project has been implemented, and the company is basically stable. The financing from Zhou Jiaqiahe is very important and has helped us a lot.” Qu Moyu
realized What did Qu Shen want to say?
“Xiaochu is also a good kid. He is worthy of you in every way, and he is smart and sensible.” Qu Shen looked at Qu Moyu, “As soon as he graduates, let’s get married. You can also give him the mark. You should Take it easy.”
Qu Moyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, “I won’t mark anyone.”
“You’ve already given it out.” Qu Shen said sarcastically.
“That was calculated by Qu Chengchen.” Thinking of this, Qu Moyu was filled with resentment.
“That’s because you were not cautious enough to let an omega that is just a cooperative relationship get too involved in your life, otherwise, would Qu Chengchen have a chance to plot against you?” Qu Moyu’s face became more and more gloomy
.
“Qu Chengchen brought this matter to Zhou’s house. I let Li to calm it down. You don’t mark Xiaochu, is it reasonable? Now you can still use your lack of marriage as an excuse. Once married, let’s settle down.”
Qu Mo Yu’s tone became stiff: “Father, this is the only thing I can’t agree to. I don’t want to be controlled by anyone.” ”
You…”
“Okay.” Mrs. Qu interrupted their conversation, “Mo Yu Just got off the plane, he must be tired after working for so many days, let him rest first, let’s talk about tomorrow.”
Qu Shen said with a sullen face: “How many days are left in the susceptible period? If you are not sure, go directly to the security office. Let’s go to the house.”
“Sure.” Qu Moyu stood up, “I’m going back to my room first.” The
reason why he took his luggage back to the old house was because his safe house was here, and his personal doctor customized it for him. The medication plan has already postponed the susceptibility period for almost half a month. Once the medicine is stopped, it will enter the susceptibility period within a day or two. He planned to go back to his room to take a shower and get ready.
After Qu Moyu took a shower, the butler had already sent his luggage to his room, and his mother was waiting in the room.
Mrs. Qu looked at her son, and then at the three suitcases of luggage: “The safe house is ready, I will pack these things for you later.” “No, let them come.” Qu
Moyu I poured myself a glass of whiskey, sat on the sofa in front of the bed, and quietly looked at the newly sprouted peach branches outside the window.
The half-dry hair hung down in front of his forehead, blocking his eyes and most of his thoughts. Madam Qu always felt that there was a sense of distance between herself and her son, and this feeling was even worse at this time. He seemed so far away Can’t even touch it.
Mrs. Qu hesitated to speak.
“Mother, are you here to persuade me about Xiaochu, or do you want to inquire about Shen Dai?” Qu Moyu slowly turned his head, his eyes were even more unpredictable in the dim light.
Mrs. Qu’s breath stopped, and she said in a low voice, “You saw him.”
She felt that Qu Moyu probably found out about Shen Dai’s whereabouts during his trip to Lancheng. Difficult things, in the information age, it is almost impossible for a person to completely erase his traces.
In the year Shen Dai left, Qu Moyu acted as if everything was as usual, and she didn’t express her dissatisfaction with her. She just excused herself to be busy and seldom went home, but she still felt—maybe it was just a perception between mother and child —she felt that her son was getting depressed.
From the few words of the people around her, she knew that Mr. Qu at the company had become more irritable than before, and the young master at home had become more taciturn than before.
Qu Moyu shook the wine glass, the ice cubes hit the wall and jingled, like the sound of a heartbeat flowing in the river of time, he remembered the two times he met Shen Dai in Lancheng, it was too bad, too chaotic, too Ugly, he couldn’t even find too many words to describe it, he just said: “See you.”
“His… is he doing well?” Mrs. Qu wanted to tell from Qu Moyu’s expression whether he knew it or not. aware of the existence of the child.
That little thought was clearly seen in Qu Moyu’s eyes: “It’s not good.” An omega with no money, power, and relatives, who gave birth to and raised children alone in other places, how good would it be? At a glance, he felt that his omega shouldn’t live in such a small house with a sleepy face, and live a life that can be seen as a mess. He wanted to give Shen Dai a good life, and he always wanted it, but Shen Dai didn’t want it. ? Why not?
Madam Qu’s complexion quickly darkened, her lips trembled slightly, as if she had a lot to say.
“He gave birth to an alpha boy, you want to ask that.”
Mrs. Qu raised her head suddenly, stared at Qu Moyu blankly, her eyes gradually turned red, in fact, she was always worried about whether the child was born or not, and after going through such torture, the child might not be able to keep it, but Shen Dai was really born, and she really did what ordinary people can’t do, and she couldn’t do it either.
“He washed off the mark, how did he keep the child?” Qu Moyu still couldn’t figure this out, the only possibility was some kind of medical technology that he didn’t understand, “You helped him, right?” Mrs. Qu
‘s Her heart was so suffocated that she knew too well what price Shen Dai had paid to keep the child, but she had promised Shen Dai that she would not tell anyone, and she would always remember the passage Shen Dai said to herself before the operation. talk.
He smiled and said: “In the future, no matter how this child annoys me, or does not grow up according to my expectations, I will not use this incident to kidnap him with guilt, because this is my own choice.” Let’s keep this as a secret between us, please don’t tell anyone.”
Mrs. Qu took a deep breath, “How is that child, is he healthy?”
“It’s quite capable of crying, and it makes a lot of noise when it cries. “Qu Moyu suddenly smiled, but the smile disappeared quickly. He didn’t seem to have looked at the child seriously. Now that he thinks about it, he regrets it. He should take a good look at his and Shen Dai’s child, “It should be very healthy. ”
“…What’s your name?”
“Shen Yue.”
“Shen Yue, Shen Yue, it sounds so nice.” Mrs. Qu repeated the name repeatedly, “What about the pheromone level?” Idealistic thinking, but if, in case, Shen Dai is lucky enough to give birth to an S-level alpha, will all the contradictions be resolved and there will be a happy ending?
Qu Moyu shook his head: “I don’t know.”
He has no intention of knowing Shen Yue’s pheromone level at all. The possibility that a B-level omega can give birth to an S-level alpha is very slim, and Shen Dai didn’t say that anyone who gave birth to an S-level alpha will definitely announce it. The world, so he didn’t think about this question from the beginning to the end, because he defaulted that Shen Yue was only A-level at most.
Mrs. Qu also thought the same, so she didn’t ask further, she sighed: “Anyway, Shen Dai didn’t cause you any trouble after the baby was born, if he needs money…” “He doesn’t need it.”
Qu Mo Yu’s fingers holding the wine glass were tense, and his knuckles turned blue and white due to excessive force. He stared at his mother and said coldly, “Are you satisfied with the result?” Mrs. Qu lowered her head slowly, for a long time
, Only then said in a hoarse voice: “Mom in this life… There are many, many regrets, but I don’t regret this one.” She stood up gracefully, and left in a hurry.
Qu Moyu sat quietly in the darkness, slumped in the chair motionless, as if he would melt at any moment, and after an unknown amount of time, he smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
