His teeth sank into Sheng’s gland. A rare mark bloomed: a glowing ghost orchid, a flower worth billions, almost extinct. The air filled with its cool fragrance. 🌺✨

For Hua Yong, this was bliss. He finally claimed Sheng completely. He thought happily: Mr. Sheng, you can’t escape anymore. You’re mine now. Forever. 🔗❤️

X Hotel, Room 9901. 🏨✨

Sheng Shaoyou was shaking, burning with a high fever. The pheromones in the air were so strong it almost made him faint. Every touch, every kiss from Hua Yong felt like fire 🔥

Hua Yong’s fingers were numb from Sheng’s heat, but he didn’t care. He had waited so long for this. Finally holding Sheng made his heart swell with happiness and ache at the same time 💞.

He kissed Sheng gently, guiding him to let go, his eyes full of love and desire 💋.

Sheng Shaoyou opened his arms, voice hoarse and broken. In the dim light, they gave in to every feeling. Hua Yong kissed him with urgency, and the heavy scent of his pheromones made Sheng weak and dizzy.

“Do you want me to hold you?” Hua Yong asked quietly.

Sheng’s eyes filled with tears. His voice trembled: “Yes…” 😭

But the kiss he really wanted still hadn’t come. The ache at the back of his neck made him cling to Hua Yong, soft sobs escaping 💔.

Hua Yong lifted Sheng’s chin, calm and firm, and asked:
“Look at me. Think carefully. Who am I? Are you sure you want this?”

Sheng froze, flushing, misty-eyed. “You’re Hua Yong,” he whispered 🌙.

“Yes. That’s me,” Hua Yong said softly, brushing Sheng’s lips with his thumb. “Do you like me, Mr. Sheng?” 💞

“You’re so annoying,” Sheng said hoarsely, growing impatient. He pulled Hua Yong closer. “I hate liars. I hate lunatics. But… I like you a lot. Hua Yong, give me—” 💓

Hua Yong kissed him hard. Finally, the Alpha he admired for so long had admitted his feelings. Hua Yong’s heart raced 💗.

He wanted to give Sheng everything—his life, love, protection.

Sheng whispered again: “Enough…”

Enough? No way. Hua Yong would never feel it was enough. Sheng’s presence, his voice, his touch—everything about him was captivating 🌹.

Wealth, power, love, even a permanent mark… Hua Yong wanted to give it all, just to see Sheng happy 💍.

Every kiss, every touch, every gasp made the world disappear. Hua Yong held Sheng tightly. It was just the two of them, lost in each other, hearts and souls connected 💫.

Sheng felt like he was both the hunter and the hunted, captured but safe, terrified but in love—all at the same time 🕊️.

It was like a storm at sea—Sheng Shaoyou was the little boat, tossed around but held safely in Hua Yong’s strong hands 🌊. Completely owned. Completely loved. 💖🔥

Sheng Shaoyou had slept through an entire day and night, drained from the attack 😴.

When he finally woke, it was noon on the third day. Hua Yong had been holding him the whole time. The moment Sheng stirred, Hua Yong leaned over and kissed his forehead. “Good morning, Mr. Sheng.” ☀️

Sheng froze. Where was he? A hotel suite? Thick curtains blocked the sun, and a warm light filled the room 🌙.

His throat burned. “What time is it?”

Hua Yong handed him a glass of warm water. “Half past twelve. You’ve slept long. Are you feeling okay?” 💧

Sheng didn’t take it, sitting in silence. His memories crashed back like waves 🌊. His shoulder wound was healed. The gland at the back of his neck—miraculously recovered.

He was fatigued, but alive.

Hua Yong’s bite had saved him. Only a permanent mark could do that 🩹.

An Alpha… marked? Impossible. And yet, it worked.

He thought about the cyanide in his body. A few dozen milligrams would’ve killed him ☠️. But he survived.

“Where are the criminals?” he finally asked.

“They’ve been taken to the police station,” Hua Yong said gently. “Drink some water, please.” 🚔

Sheng stared. The underworld’s most dangerous men… handed to the police?

“Personally?”

“Yes. It’s better to let the law handle it. I didn’t want you upset if I dealt with them myself.”

Sheng Shaoyou wasn’t exactly soft-hearted. But this—this was the best outcome 💭.

What he didn’t know: no police station had a report. Hua Yong had dealt with the criminals perfectly—no one would ever harm his “empress” again 👑.

Sheng Shaoyou woke up in Suite 9901 at X Hotel. It was huge—living room, kitchen, study, even a gym 🏢.

He hadn’t eaten in over a day, and his body felt like jelly.

His stomach growled. Hua Yong chuckled. “Hungry, Mr. Sheng?” 🍲

“Not really… I’ll shower first,” Sheng muttered, struggling to stand. Even the short walk to the bathroom felt like torture 😮‍💨.

Hua Yong stepped forward with a smile. “Let me help you.”

Sheng tried to refuse, but Hua Yong grabbed his wrist, pulled him close, and pressed soft kisses to his ear 💕. “Don’t push yourself. If you get hurt, I hurt too.”

The shower left Sheng dazed 🚿. Hua Yong dried his hair, massaged his sore legs, and teased him gently. “Still sore?”

“I’m fine,” Sheng grumbled, flustered 😳.

“I’ll feed you,” Hua Yong whispered, orchid-scented pheromones thick in the air, making Sheng dizzy 🌸. His hands were bold, pushing boundaries, teasing shamelessly.

Finally, Sheng gave in. He sat at the table as Hua Yong leaned over, coaxing him to eat porridge 🍚.

“I don’t eat porridge,” Sheng said, but the soft aroma and Hua Yong’s gentle voice made him relent. One sip, and it was actually good. His last trace of irritation melted away 😌.

Then Sheng spotted Chang Yu on the sofa. The man rarely appeared anywhere, yet here he was, frozen in shock 👀.

This Hua Yong—soft, caring, almost playful with Sheng—was nothing like the ruthless figure everyone knew. Seeing him like this… even the most composed people could barely handle it 😲.

The medicine Shengfang had would only last a week. Sheng Shaoyou felt stuck—he couldn’t risk falling out with Hua Yong, not over medicine 💊.

But every moment with him made Sheng Shaoyou question everything. Hua Yong was still gentle, soft-spoken, and smelled faintly of orchids 🌸.

Only now, he seemed stronger, more Alpha 💪.

Sheng Shaoyou, a proud S-level Alpha, hated being treated like an Omega—“used” by another Alpha 😤.

Hua Yong frowned. “Used? Mr. Sheng, why say I used you? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?”

Sheng Shaoyou froze. Hua Yong was right. His mind flashed back to last night—the closeness, the heat, the shame he could barely admit 💔.

“I’m leaving,” he said, pushing Hua Yong’s hand away 🚶.

“Are you full? Where are you going? I’ll come with you.”

“Back to the company. Don’t you have work?”

“I’m free. I even arranged a three-year vacation just to be with you,” Hua Yong said, calm but determined 📅. “Courtship is urgent. Everything else is nothing compared to you.”

Sheng scoffed, trying to hide how affected he was. “You sit in Jiang Hu ruling behind the scenes all day. Don’t be surprised if your empire falls without you noticing.” 🏯

Hua Yong leaned close, looking sincere. “If that day comes, I’ll rely on you—eat your food, use your things, stay by your side forever. Wouldn’t that be nice?” 🫶

Sheng felt his heart almost melt. That kind of pure devotion was impossible to ignore 💕. But then he remembered last night—the shame, the ache. His jaw clenched.

“Not nice,” he said sharply.

Hua Yong just smiled gently. “Oh, so Mr. Sheng likes winners. Perfect. I never lose.” 🏆

That same morning, chaos broke out when Chen Pinming was told President Sheng had been kidnapped 😱.

Hours later, Sheng finally appeared, his wrist marked by rope burns. Hua had already arranged for a doctor, and Chen, though relieved, was shaken by Hua’s calm and intimidating presence 🩹.

On the way back to the office, Hua revealed he had already delivered Sheng’s father’s medicine to the hospital. Sheng was stunned—he had expected threats, not this kind of thoughtfulness 💊.

With no excuse to push him away, he let Hua ride with him 🚗.

In the office, Hua stayed close, even pouting when Sheng pushed him off, his fair skin turning red 🌸. Sheng tried to ignore it, reminding himself that this “delicate” man was strong enough to move heavy furniture with ease 💪.

Later, during a research meeting, Hua sat right at Sheng’s side, unbothered. When everyone left, Hua smiled and told Chen to step out.

Sheng refused, but Hua leaned in, voice soft and teasing: “Are you sure you want others to hear about last night?” 😳

The words hit like a thunderclap—Sheng froze, face burning red, ears hot with embarrassment 🌡️.

Sheng handed the file to Chen Pinming. “Take this to my office—and close the door.”

Chen felt the strange tension and ran off quickly, leaving them alone 🏃.

Hua lowered the blinds, shutting out the world. Sheng sat back, arms crossed, wary but calm.

“Mr. Sheng,” Hua Yong began.

“What is it?” Sheng Shaoyou asked, leaning back.

“Chen Pinming is loyal, but he can’t stay by your side all day. Someone needs to protect you.” 🛡️

“I’m an Alpha. I don’t need protection,” Sheng Shaoyou said, chest puffed with pride. 💪😏

“Yes,” Hua Yong replied softly, “but your heart is soft. You can be easily deceived. What happened yesterday shook me. I can’t leave you alone.” 💔🌙

Sheng scoffed. “Who are you to worry about me?” 😤❓

Hua Yong smiled faintly, teasing. “Who am I to you, Mr. Sheng? What do you think?” 😉🔥

Sheng’s pride flared. “You’ve had your fun. Stop pretending to care.” 😠🥀

Hua Yong leaned in, his warm breath brushing Sheng’s face, a soft orchid scent filling the air. “Playing? I’m always serious with you.” 🌸😮‍💨

Before Sheng could react, Hua Yong grabbed his tie and pulled him close. Their lips nearly touched. 👔💋

“Mr. Sheng, I’m yours. I’ll protect you, love you, and take care of you for life.” ❤️🛡️

“I don’t need th—mmph—” Sheng tried to speak, but Hua Yong kissed him, cutting off any refusal. 💋🤯

The scent of orchid overwhelmed him.

They broke apart breathless. Hua Yong bit his jaw lightly, playful but firm. 😮‍💨🦷

“I want to pursue you.” 🎯💖

“I’m not gay. I don’t like Alphas.” 🚫👨‍❤️‍👨

“Yeah, I know. But I want a romantic relationship with you.” 💌✨

Sheng froze. Romantic… Alpha and Alpha? 😳⚡

Hua Yong’s fingers traced his face, gentle but deliberate. “Don’t you like me? This face—don’t you like it?” 🤲😍

Every word, every look, tugged at Sheng Shaoyou’s heart. Hua Yong’s sincerity was overwhelming. 💞🌊

“I’ll only ever like you and treat you well,” Hua Yong whispered. “Give me a chance. I’ll spend my life repaying you.” 🫶⏳

Sheng Shaoyou nearly gave in, but he steadied himself. “What do you even like about me?” 🥺🤔

“Everything,” Hua Yong said simply. 🌌💯

Sheng blinked. “Everything?” 😶❓

“Yes. All of it, every part. As long as it’s you, I love it all.” ❤️‍🔥🙌

Sheng shook his head. Could someone really love everything about another person? Impossible… yet Hua Yong’s calm, honest gaze made it feel true. 👀💎

“You’ve known me a long time, haven’t you?” Sheng pressed. ⏳🧐

“Yes.”

Sheng’s tone hardened. “Then this is your last chance. Lie to me again, and disappear forever.” ❄️⚠️

Hua lowered his eyes, obedient. “Ask me, then.” 🙇‍♂️🕊️

He knew one more lie would cost him everything. 💔🪓

“When did you meet me? And how?” Sheng asked. ❓👂

“Fifteen years ago. In Japan,” Hua Yong said. 🌸🗾

Shaoyou blinked. “Wait… how old are you now?” 😳⌛

“Twenty-three.”

Shaoyou almost choked. What the hell—he was eight back then?! He racked his brain, but nope, no memory of ever meeting him. 🤯🤦‍♂️

Hua Yong wasn’t surprised. Being forgotten hurt, sure, but he’d known from the start—Shaoyou was careless with people, cold outside but soft inside, impossible to love easily. And yet, Hua Yong had always been patient, poking at his edges, hoping one day he’d bend. 💔🌱

He looked at Shaoyou and said, “Most Alphas either want me, or look down on me—but still want me. If I fight back, they learn their lesson. But you were different. The first time we met, you looked down on me, but you protected me too.” 🛡️🌟

His smile was gentle, eyes shining so bright it made Shaoyou pause. 😊✨

And then, Hua Yong finally began telling the story of that first meeting. 📖🌙

Back when Hua Yong first took over the family business, he wanted to run straight to Sheng Shaoyou. But he stopped himself—seeing him once wouldn’t be enough. He needed time to bind that person to his side completely. ⛓️🏢

For over ten years, whenever Hua felt restless, he’d fly from Country P to Jiang Hu just to stay near Shaoyou.

Watching him from afar gave him peace—and fueled his drive.

He worked faster, harder, cleaning up the mess his father left, all so he could one day stand beside Sheng. Like a hunter waiting on his prey, Hua laid his net carefully, patiently. 🛫🎯

Shaoyou might have forgotten him, but Hua knew everything: his excellence, his lovers, his habits, his role as Sheng Fang’s heir. He collected photos from every stage of Shaoyou’s life, even kept a pocket watch and traced it on lonely nights, convincing himself that his very differentiation had happened for one reason—this Alpha. 📸⌚

He wanted him, completely. That proud boy from the treetop—Hua wanted to make him fall into his arms. 🌳🤲

Hua Yong’s family was pure trash 😤—cunning, selfish, and cruel. Even the ones who should’ve been closest to him only bullied and schemed. No wonder Hua Yong grew up cold, never trusting anyone. But then came Sheng Shaoyou—bright and warm like the sun ☀️. For the first time, Hua Yong, who never cared about love, actually wanted to reach out for someone.

His first special period came on his 20th birthday. But birthdays never mattered—he was just the 13th illegitimate son of Beichao’s old boss, a child ignored and unwanted. 🎂🥀

He never knew his real mother. His adoptive mother died tragically in a gunfight, used as a shield. He only saw her ashes, not her face one last time. ⚰️

But Hua Yong didn’t cry. She’d never truly cared—treating him kindly in public, harsh in private. As a child he suffered hunger, cold, and neglect, learning too early how cruel life could be. ❄️

Precocious and sharp, he remembered everything—even from age two. If nothing else, he mastered one thing: holding grudges. 🔥

On his 20th birthday, everything went wrong 🎂.

His arrogant 4th brother, an A-level Alpha and their father’s favorite, secretly spiked Hua Yong’s drink. He wasn’t even targeting Hua Yong specifically—he just wanted to show off to his other siblings by humiliating someone. And Hua Yong, being the illegitimate “weak” thirteenth child, was the easiest target.

But Hua Yong wasn’t ordinary 👀. He had a secret: his special differentiation and rare purification power made him immune to such tricks. So even when the drug made him feel dizzy and feverish, he calmly pretended to collapse. To his scheming brothers and sisters, it looked like he had “turned into an Omega.” And in this world, what could be a better plaything for Alphas than a beautiful illegitimate Omega? 🤬

Dragged into a narrow gardener’s lounge, surrounded by his siblings and bodyguards, Hua Yong sat quietly in his white suit. His pale skin, red lips, and fragile wrists made him look breakable ❄️🌸. But inside, he was seething. His pheromones were leaking through the weakening patch on his neck, the orchid scent curling in the air.

And then came the ultimate insult 💔—his 4th brother pulled out Hua Yong’s hidden treasure: posters and photos of Sheng Shaoyou.

He waved them in front of everyone, mocking him for having a crush, then tore the poster into pieces. The paper fell like snowflakes ❄️, as if shredding Hua Yong’s one soft spot.

That was it. Hua Yong’s calm mask froze over completely. His voice was soft, but it sliced sharper than a knife:
“Do you want to keep your right hand… or your left?”

Chills. Absolute chills. 🥶

No one knows exactly what happened after that. But the next day, the Hua family had a disabled 4th young master… and a private plane marked with X landed at the business jet terminal 🛩️🔥.

By his second year in power, Hua renamed the company “X,” invested in HS, and even launched the Zui Zhi product line, inspired by Shaoyou’s pheromone scent. Secretly, he hoped the whole world would love it—though only he would truly possess it. 🏢🌸

On the top floor of X Holdings, a framed sheet of paper with Shaoyou’s casual “X” still hangs in Hua’s office, a reminder of everything he’d gained—except the one Alpha who mattered most. 🖼️🏢

And now, fifteen years later, Hua Yong sat exactly where he dreamed—face to face with Sheng Shaoyou. Cold and calculating to the world, but here he was, smiling softly, speaking gently. 💬💞

“You’ve been secretly in love with me for fifteen years?” Shaoyou asked. 😳❤️

“It wasn’t secret,” Hua corrected. “Everyone knows. I can’t live a second without Mr. Sheng.” His eyes burned with obsession as he leaned closer, voice low and earnest. “And what about you? Do you like me?” 🔥🫂

Shaoyou’s ears burned. He snapped, “I hate liars.” 😡🩸

“I won’t lie again,” Hua swore, soft and obedient. 🙏🕊️

Their back-and-forth twisted from jealousy to teasing—Shaoyou demanding answers, Hua dodging with tenderness, calling him his poppy flower, his catnip, addictive. Shaoyou scoffed at his cheesy lines, but Hua didn’t care. He promised to change, to say whatever Shaoyou wanted, as long as he could stay by his side. 🌺😼

And when Shaoyou mocked him about being a secretary, Hua actually nodded, smiling: “If Mr. Sheng is willing, nothing would make me happier.” 💼😊

That’s how “Secretary Hua” wrangled himself into Sheng Fang Biotech—two posts, one heart, and a vow to never leave Shaoyou’s side. 📝❤️

Sheng Shaoqing had been down on his luck lately. He’d spent a fortune hiring people to get rid of a problem, but not only did they fail, they also vanished without a trace. To make things worse, rumors spread that his brother, Sheng Shaoyou, had been kidnapped—but came back completely unharmed. That only made Shaoqing more furious. How could such “reliable” Alpha Hunters screw up so badly? 💸😤

Frustrated, he ran off to Macau, gambling away millions and drowning himself in alcohol. Even the Omega who tried to please him couldn’t cheer him up. Drunk and bitter, Shaoqing ranted about how much he hated his older brother. 🎲🍷

The Omega, sly and experienced, egged him on, eventually whispering that brute force would never work on someone like Sheng Shaoyou—what he needed were “soft ropes to bind him.” 🪢😈

Tbh, they changed the flow of Gao Tu and Shen’s story. Gao Tu was supposed to hand over the resignation letter the day before Sheng’s kidnapping. But I think all events will take place after Sheng's kidnapping. So here is my side of the story…

The next day after Hua saved Sheng, when Gao Tu came to the company after his vacation was over, he suddenly started discussing the topic of children.

(We’re supposing that at home, he had already taken a pregnancy test because of the constant nausea he had been experiencing for the past few days 🤢. When he went to the hospital, the doctors advised him not to keep the child. In the early stage of pregnancy, without the comfort of his Alpha, the symptoms of his pheromone imbalance disorder were far more severe. But Gao Tu didn’t want to give up on his child 👶💔.)

When Gao Tu asked, “What would you do if your Omega had a child in the future?”—Shen Wenlang’s face instantly turned dark 😶‍🌫️. That one drunk night with an Omega flashed in his mind, and his reply was cruel: “Abort it. What else?” 💔

Gao Tu’s expression froze—hurt, shocked, scared 😨. But Shen just got angrier. “Don’t ask such stupid questions while I’m working. You know I hate Omegas.”

And honestly, wasn’t Gao Tu the one who had handled hundreds of Omegas for him over the years? So why was he suddenly acting like this? Lately, he was always running home to that moody Omega partner of his. Had Gao Tu caught that Omega’s craziness too? 🤔

Then Gao Tu whispered, almost stubbornly, “But forcing an Omega to have an abortion…”

Shen snapped, “Stop repeating Omega, Omega—aren’t you disgusted yourself?” 😡

And boom 💥. For the first time in ten years, Gao Tu raised his voice, trembling but firm: “President Shen, stop insulting Omegas! That’s against the ABO Equal Rights Agreement!” ⚖️

Like… WHAT?! 😱 This quiet, loyal Beta, who followed Shen like his shadow, suddenly talked back—for an Omega?! 🫨

Shen sneered coldly, “What now, Gao Tu? You want to sue me on behalf of an Omega?” 🥶

…Of course, Gao Tu didn’t sue him.

But he did something even worse—he resigned.

For the sake of that pregnant Omega 👶.

Shen stared at the resignation letter, furious 😤. Another one gone mad for love, huh?

But deep inside, just thinking about Gao Tu’s scent mixed with that Omega’s made Shen feel like choking 💔. How close were they? How much did they… do? And why the hell did Shen even care?! 🥀

Hua Yong was on cloud nine after permanently marking his beloved Alpha 🫶. The next day, X Holdings did something super rare—they gave the whole company a paid day off 🎉. On the phone, Chang Yu mentioned it casually.

Shen Wenlang’s face turned dark 😶. “Fine, let them rest. It’s not like he’s only been crazy for a day or two.”
(I swear, the man is acting all cold while secretly losing sleep over Gao Tu 😭).

Chang Yu hesitated, then added, “The boss means HS should also rest today.”

Shen snapped instantly. “Him going crazy alone isn’t enough?” 😡 Ever since Gao Tu’s resignation, he hadn’t slept properly 💤. His temper? Level 100 🔥.

And then, the tea incident—ugh 🍵. He took a sip, slammed the cup down: “Is this foot-washing water?” 🤢 The poor new secretary panicked, stuttering about Phoenix Dancong tea. Shen just glared: “I only drink boiled white tea. First day on the job?” 😠

Meanwhile, the newbie was trembling, low-key crying inside: “Wuwuwu, Secretary Gao, please come back!” 😭🙏

After Gao Tu resigned, Shen had thrown him out of the President’s Office with those harsh words: “Finish your handover in a month and get lost. The Earth won’t stop spinning without you.” 🌍

He acted like he didn’t care—but who was he fooling? Not us 👀.

Because the truth? Shen had never once cared when people left him. Not even when his own Omega parent abandoned him 💔. Abandonment was normal for him. But Gao Tu leaving? That was different. It stung in a way he didn’t understand 🥀.

The new secretary was clumsy and irritating, while Gao Tu had always been his calm, loyal shadow 🌙. For years Shen thought of him like a tail—always there, maybe even a little silly 🐾. But that tail had given him peace 🌸.

Now the tail was gone. And for the first time, Shen felt a pain so sharp it was like something was being torn from his body 🩹. He couldn’t breathe 💔.

The worst part? Gao Tu’s reason for leaving wasn’t even ambition, money, or betrayal 💼💸. It was for a pregnant Omega. For someone else 💔.

And Shen, who had always believed Gao Tu would never leave his side, was suddenly faced with the truth—maybe he was the only one who believed that 😔.

Later, Chang Yu teased him on the phone, “Why so irritable lately? The boss is in a good mood though.”

Shen sneered coldly: “Oh? Sheng Shaoyou’s willing to see him now?” 😏

That’s all for the Episode 12 preview 🥺✨ I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
