Apex Predator - Chap 84
Shen Dai sat in the cafe opposite the Xingzhou headquarters building, waiting for his teacher and Cheng Zimei.
The dispute in the morning ended with Qu Moyu slamming the door and leaving, but his emotions have never left the center of the storm. It should be said that since the moment he was forced to return to Qu’s house, his body and mind have been trapped. In the mud of the beach, the more I struggle, the deeper I sink.
He wasn’t supposed to meet anyone today, but after he sent his thesis to the teacher for guidance, the teacher found time. The teacher didn’t make sense of his time, so he hurried over after handing Qiuqiu to the nanny .
As he sits here, sipping a cup of hand-ground coffee and looking out the large French windows at the hurrying office workers across the street, he does realize the benefits of having someone to share the burden of child-rearing for him.
When Liu Xi and Cheng Zimei arrived, Shen Dai stood up and showed his first sincere smile these days.
Liu Xi’s eyes were full of mixed feelings: “Sit down.”
The three master and apprentice sat down, no one started to start, and only silence flowed in the air.
Cheng Zimei couldn’t stand the atmosphere, so she pretended to be relaxed and asked, ” Is Qiuqiu okay?
”
One sound, “Who will take him now?”
“Nanny.” Knowing what they wanted to ask, Shen Dai took the initiative to say, “The nanny Qu Moyu hired, I live in his house now.”
There was another silence.
Shen Dai understands their embarrassment very well. About his relationship with Qu Moyu, about his and Qiuqiu’s status, these are not so decent topics. If it were him, he would not be easy to open his mouth, but his teacher and his His friends cared about him, so he could only take the initiative to be honest: “I originally wanted to work with Senior Brother Bai, but he didn’t let me take Qiuqiu away. I will stay in the capital for the time being.” Shen Dai lowered his head, “About My thesis…”
“Then come back to work,” Liu Xi said.
Shen Dai looked at his teacher in surprise.
“Your SCI still has a lot of room for improvement. If you had a good experimental environment, you could have produced more solid data. Now it has not reached the level I expect you to achieve. You should come back and improve it.”
” I…” Shen Dai’s lips trembled slightly. He didn’t want to return to the career he loved, but his life was already in a mess, and he felt that he had no means to spare, “I don’t know…how to go back.” “How to go back what?
” , just go back normally.” Liu Xi had a reasonable expression, “Your resignation has not been approved, and you are still an employee of Xingzhou Research Institute. You just took a long sick leave, and now you are back from illness. ” Cheng Zimei nodded vigorously at the side: “Yes , it is reasonable for you to
come back to work after taking sick leave.”
How could he give up on himself if he gave up on him. But is it really as simple as you think?
Liu Xi looked at Shen Dai with calm and determined eyes: “Adai, you have given birth to your child now, and someone will show you that it’s time to come back to work. No matter what, your career is your own, and you must not give up. ”
“Yes.”
“I can’t ask about the relationship between you and Mr. Qu, and I can’t judge. I know you are also confused and helpless. I can only tell you that if you can’t see the way forward, just Take the road under your feet first. You do what you want to do, don’t care what others think.”
Cheng Zimei also said: “A Dai, don’t have too much burden, the teacher is right, you have to go back to work, you have to submit your paper Write it well, no one can solve all the problems in life at once, and do what you can now.”
A burst of courage was injected into Shen Dai’s chest. There is not a single day that he does not miss the career-focused self. He has self-confidence, ideals, and goals. He feels that life is fulfilling and full of hope. It’s not that the body and soul are trapped in the cage built by Qu Moyu. If this continues, he will only be overwhelmed by resentment and pain.
Even if one day he has the opportunity to take Qiuqiu away, he must have a job.
Shen Dai’s hands on his knees quietly clenched into fists, and he nodded vigorously: “Teacher, thank you.”
Liu Xi patted Shen Dai on the shoulder: “A Dai, you are a tough, smart and hardworking child , I believe you can bring your life back on track.”
Shen Dai forced a smile: “I hope I won’t disappoint the teacher.”
When Shen Dai returned to Qu’s house, Aunt Lan and the nanny were pushing the baby carriage, leading Qiu Yau basking in the sun in the garden. He was originally worried that Qiuqiu would cry if he left all afternoon, but it turned out that Qiuqiu ate, slept and played without any delay, let alone crying. While Shen Dai was relieved, he was also a little bit disappointed.
Seeing Qiuqiu adapt to the new environment so quickly and being able to accept other people’s care, it means that he can get rid of part of the work of raising children and go out to work. But he hasn’t told Qu Moyu yet, and he doesn’t know how Qu Moyu will react.
In fact, when Qu Moyu said the phrase “marry you” today, he was moved, even if it was only for a moment, it was after all a moment he had dreamed of and longed for, even though he no longer wanted it. He didn’t know how long this fight with Qu Moyu would last. It took him more than a year, but he still couldn’t dispel the humiliation and pain that Qu Moyu had brought him, and now he was forced to do it all over again. In the past, he had Mrs. Qu to help him escape from the abyss, but now, I am afraid that the only one who can save him is himself.
Qu Moyu didn’t come back for dinner, and he didn’t come back smelling of alcohol until Shen Dai went to bed.
Shen Dai buried his face in the pillow and pretended to be asleep without saying a word.
Qu Moyu walked to the bed, gently stroked Shen Dai’s hair with his hand, then got up and went to the bathroom.
Shen Dai listened to the sound of footsteps, the sound of closing the door, and the sound of water. In the darkness, he could distinguish every movement of Qu Moyu with his ears. It was impossible for him to fall asleep.
Qu Moyu came out of the bathroom. He stepped on the thick plush carpet, making almost no sound, but the invisible pressure made Shen Dai clearly feel his approach. He lifted the quilt and lay down, wrapping his arms around Shen Dai. Dai’s waist, fished his omega into his arms, and whispered: “I know you are awake, don’t pretend.”
Qu Moyu still had a faint smell of alcohol mixed with the cold wood of ebony Fragrance forms a unique atmosphere—hard, steady, and cold, as if it is integrated with the darkness, and surrounds Shen Dai layer by layer.
“Where did you go in the afternoon?” Qu Moyu put his hand into Shen Dai’s pajamas.
The cold hand made Shen Dai shiver, and he said, “See teacher.”
“What do you do when you see teacher?”
Shen Dai hesitated, “I want to go back to work.”
“Okay, you can do whatever you want, as long as Don’t leave me.” Qu Moyu brought the tip of his nose to Shen Dai’s gland, and sniffed fascinatedly, “Adai, you smell so good.”
Shen Dai also couldn’t stop the invasion of Qu Moyu’s alpha pheromone. The smell is sexy and mysterious, it is so charming, the stronger the alpha, the more bewitching the pheromone, it can make people have endless fantasies, not only sexual fantasies, but also about love, about beauty, about power, about Power, the reason why top alphas stand on top of the world is because they are born with all these, and they can also use pheromones to output dreams to others.
Shen Dai pinched himself severely, exchanging pain for sobriety.
Qu Moyu’s fingers followed the location in memory, found the cesarean section scar on Shen Dai’s lower abdomen, and gently traced that bulge.
Shen Dai’s body tensed up.
“Does it hurt?” Qu Moyu asked in Shen Dai’s ear. He thought of how painful and helpless Shen Dai would be when he was not around when Shen Dai was going through these things, and he felt a huge sense of guilt. It was precisely because of his absence that Shen Dai had to have an autopsy. Without the support of alpha pheromone, natural omega production would be very dangerous.
Shen Dai didn’t answer. Of course it hurts, but at least he took anesthesia.
“I won’t hurt you anymore, I will find you the best doctor and care, and I will always be by your side.” Qu Moyu’s lips were almost touching Shen Dai’s ear, “Adai, give me another I will give birth to a few children.” These two passages had a distinctly nasal sound, in contrast, the previous short sentences seemed to be deliberately standing at attention to cover up the fact that I had drunk too much.
Shen Dai felt his scalp go numb, the thing on his back tun was getting harder and harder, he struggled in a panic.
“Don’t move.” Qu Moyu tightly held Shen Dai’s waist. Enduring the swelling pain, he bumped it a few times unwillingly. He had never been so aggrieved in his life, and said through gritted teeth, “Move again g|an I’ll kill you, I’ll make you conceive my child right now.”
Sure enough, Shen Dai didn’t dare to move, his hands clutched the bed sheet nervously.
Qu Moyu’s breathing became heavier and heavier, he closed his eyes, and hugged the epiphyllum fragrance that haunted him in his arms. He was tainted by alcohol, and his desire was stronger than usual. He had the ability to do whatever he wanted, but he still chose to Restraint.
After a while, Qu Moyu suppressed the urge, and kissed Shen Dai’s glands: “I’m serious, we won’t only have Qiuqiu, it’s better to have omega, like you.” Shen
Dai Dai closed his eyes tightly, which is probably a kind of compensation in his consciousness, because he couldn’t close his ears. At this moment, he wanted to close all his senses and prevent everything from Qu Moyu from invading him.
“We will get married, have a family, and have several children. Isn’t that good.” Qu Moyu’s voice became hoarse, revealing a heavy sadness, “Adai, isn’t this not good.” Shen
Dai His eye sockets became hot, and his heart felt like a heavy hammer, the pain made him feel overwhelmed. Why, he no longer believed a single word this person said, but still felt palpitations?
