Apex Predator - Chap 73
Before Shen Dai could stop him, Qu Moyu had already walked straight to the side of the crib. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Qiuqiu’s little furry head.
It’s hot, he thought. The doctor said it was just an ordinary fever, and it would be fine when the temperature dropped. He also felt that the problem was not serious. How could anyone not get sick, but looking at such a small and soft mound, his face was burned pink, and he was panting with difficulty, slightly The raised eyebrows kept twisting and turning, one could imagine that Qiuqiu must be very uncomfortable, but the child was still unable to speak, and could only vent his physical discomfort by crying.
He suddenly felt worried. Their child was experiencing the first illness in his life, and it was also the first time for him to experience a kind of distress that he wished he could not bear instead. As he cared more and more about Shen Dai, he He also cared more and more about this child, even if he didn’t want it originally, and no matter from the current perspective or future considerations, the existence of this child is a trouble.
But his state of mind has completely changed. He is glad that Shen Dai gave birth to Qiuqiu. After there is no marriage or mark between them, this child is the bond between them that can never be erased.
Qu Moyu bent down and supported the crib’s fence with both hands. He didn’t know what to do for a while. He had never held such a small child before. Qiuqiu looked too small, not as long as his forearm. How to pick it up? What about such fragile items?
Shen Dai watched from the side, wanting to stop, but also wanted Qu Moyu to try, he only hoped that Qiuqiu would get better now, it didn’t matter whose pheromone was used, he couldn’t compete in this kind of thing.
After hesitating for a moment, Qu Moyu held Qiuqiu’s waist with both hands. The feeling surprised him a little, as if it was not as thick as his legs.
Shen Dai reminded: “You have to support his neck first.”
Qu Moyu understood, and instead supported Qiuqiu’s neck with one hand, he hugged the child, but he soon got stuck again. Transferring the child to the position of being in the crook of the arm, I feel awkward no matter how I hold it.
Shen Dai couldn’t stand it anymore, he half-supported Qiuqiu with one hand, adjusted Qu Moyu’s arm with the other hand, and helped him hold Qiuqiu in the correct posture.
This was the first time Shen Dai took the initiative to approach and touch himself after the farewell. Qu Moyu looked at Shen Dai’s beautiful outline, pale skin, and those slender long eyelashes, his heart beat faster, and there was a hint of faintness. The epiphyllum fragrance was faintly visible, he was not sure if he really felt it, or he was deceiving himself because he wanted to feel it too much.
Shen Dai quickly backed away, and Qu Moyu looked down at the soft baby in his arms, obviously light and heavy, as if he would be inexplicably endowed with a sense of mission the moment he was picked up.
Qiuqiu writhed uncomfortably, his mouth was also puckered, but he didn’t open his eyes.
Qu Moyu carefully released the soothing pheromone. When he voluntarily released pheromones, it was either because of competition or because of sex, and most of them were aggressive. Recalling carefully, he only used pheromones to appease two people, one was Shen Dai in estrus, and the other was Qiuqiu. He patiently used pheromones to perceive Qiuqiu’s pheromones. The pheromones of infants and young children had a very light smell, and at this moment, they smelled like medicine, so he couldn’t smell them. He saw in the medical records that Qiuqiu’s pheromones were Longbai , he was very curious about the smell of Longbai. When Qiuqiu recovered, he would definitely have to smell it. He also wanted to know more about this child. make up.
Qiu Qiu began to moan even more uncomfortably, instinctively resisting the ebony pheromone that had given him pressure and intimidation, but he had no energy to hide or cry, gradually, he seemed to accept this pheromone, Or the genetic memory was awakened, and the blood connection between father and son came into play.
Qu Moyu boldly released more pheromones, surrounded Qiuqiu with a rare gentle emotion, Qiuqiu gradually calmed down, even his two fleshy eyebrows were stretched, and he began to fall asleep in his sleep. Suck your fingers.
Qu Moyu was a little excited, he glanced at Shen Dai as if asking for credit, expecting Shen Dai to say something to praise him.
Shen Dai just breathed a sigh of relief: “He should be hungry, can you watch him for a while? I want to make milk powder for him.” ”
No problem.” Qu Moyu sat in a chair with Qiuqiu in his arms, and looked at Shen Dai. Dai was busy not far away, taking out all kinds of baby products from the nanny bag that he carried with him.
Qu Moyu still remembers that when Shen Dai lived in his house, he always carried a black backpack to and from work. It was issued by the company in a certain year. Although it was ugly, it was durable. Shen Dai would put computers, documents and Some commonly used items, not many things, are carried and thrown over the shoulders, and then ride away on the bicycle, looking brisk and free and easy. Now Shen Dai’s carry-on bag is almost full of things Qiuqiu needs, trivial and bulky.
The Shen Dai he admires and likes is an omega who is exceptionally outstanding in his career, and possesses rare calmness and wisdom. My heart is still different. But now Shen Dai is much darker, like jewels covered in dust, whoever sees it can’t help feeling sad, he is forced to think about a question that he deliberately avoided – how did Shen Dai live this year.
He knew that Shen Dai’s life must be bad, very bad, but how bad it was and how bad it was, he was instinctively avoiding it. He thought that when Shen Dai came back to him, he would treat Shen Dai well, and everything would be fine.
Shen Dai prepared the milk powder, tasted a little to test the temperature, and then fed it to Qiuqiu.
With the pacifier in his mouth, Qiuqiu was not sucking very vigorously, but he was still eating hard.
Shen Dai smiled: “It’ll be better if you can eat.”
Qu Moyu poked Qiuqiu’s face with his finger: “Get well soon, you have tormented Dad like this.”
Shen Dai’s heart trembled, and he used his imagination Raising the angle of view, “looking” at the three of them, Qu Moyu was holding Qiuqiu, and he was sitting on the side feeding Qiuqiu, as if there were tens of thousands of ordinary family of three in the world. For more than a year, those unbearable past events have tortured him every day, but only at this moment, he completely let go of this fleeting warm illusion.
Qu Moyu stayed in the hospital for a day. He originally had an important meeting and an itinerary that had been scheduled earlier today, but they were all cancelled, causing him to have phone calls almost every hour. He used to be very taboo to affect his work because of personal affairs, but now he doesn’t want to leave the hospital, his omega and sick children. At this time, people’s psychological defense is the weakest, and it will force people to think about many practical issues. Shen Dai’s attitude finally eased and loosened, and he had to seize the opportunity.
During this period, he also received a call from his father. He didn’t want to accept it at first, but he thought that there would be a board meeting tomorrow. If he didn’t accept it now, he would only face more blame tomorrow.
Qu Shen called and urged him to apologize to Zhou Xiaochu again.
“Hasn’t he already returned to France?” Qu Moyu said impatiently.
“Not yet, he was scared by you last time, and he hasn’t recovered yet. Even if he returns to France, you should fly over to apologize to him. He is your fiancée, so you just leave it alone. What is it?”
“Father, I think you are the one who should really apologize.” Qu Moyu said coldly, “I made it clear that I would never mark him, why did you send him to my safe house, you know How dangerous is it? If I couldn’t restrain myself at the time, he wouldn’t just be frightened now.” It’s not uncommon for an alpha to injure, disable, or even kill an omega that he doesn’t want to accept during the susceptible period.
“Do I need to repeat my considerations to you again?” Qu Shen said sternly, “Marking him is more beneficial to you. Don’t hold on to your top-level alpha self-esteem and refuse to give a mark. You really treat yourself as a The emperor? As long as he can give birth, just give birth to a few more, and the best heir will always be selected.”
Qu Moyu suppressed his anger: “I don’t want to, I don’t accept anyone using pheromones to control me.” Top alpha I don’t want to give a mark, not only because I don’t want to be monopolized by the right to reproduce, but also because of the high self-esteem, I can’t accept that I am being manipulated by an omega from the genetic level, which affects my emotions and decision-making. It is an unimaginable state for them, full of unknown anxiety.
“What is control or not? You are going to be a husband and wife. The husband and wife are of one mind. If you give him a mark, he will be more loyal to you, and the Zhou family will fully support you. Now you scare people, and you are wrong. , go to the door to apologize, coax him, there is nothing wrong with that, he is your fiancée!” ”
Then break the engagement.”
After Qu Moyu said this, he was also stunned. He seemed to blurt it out without thinking, but he also knew that he had been thinking about it for a long time. He clearly knew that he should marry Zhou Xiaochu, who was the best wife candidate carefully selected by his family. Marriage was a move he had to take. Naturally, there is no willingness or reluctance, but the status quo is that reason tells him what to do, but he is unwilling.
He was reluctant to marry Zhou Xiaochu.
Qu Shen was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, “Qu Moyu, what are you doing wrong?!”
Qu Moyu also responded silently. His mind was in a mess, and he couldn’t sort out anything. The only thing he was sure of was that he didn’t want to marry Zhou Xiaochu. He would wait until his mind cleared up before analyzing the reason, but he couldn’t do it now, and now his child was still in the ward behind him.
“Is it because of Shen Dai?” Witnessing Qu Moyu’s behavior of using Shen Dai’s clothes to build a nest during the susceptible period, Qu Shen already had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still believed that his son would not act emotionally.
Qu Moyu said in a deep voice, “Dad, I have something to do, so let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
