Chapter 70: Secretary Shen, You’re Done For!
Shen Chi looked at the foolish young master in front of him with an indescribable expression. For one brief moment, he even wanted to recommend that he go see a doctor.
He was already so rich. Surely he was not short on medical fees.
But before Shen Chi could speak, Zhuang Zhe’an suddenly stepped forward. He sniffed the scent on Shen Chi’s body, then backed away in horror.
“You… you, you, you…”
That smoke-and-gunpowder pheromone had practically soaked into him. Was he trying to kill someone?!
He remembered Secretary Shen was a Beta. It was very hard for Betas to retain an Alpha’s pheromones. With such a strong concentration now, had he just crawled out of Lu Chenzhou’s bed?
Zhuang Zhe’an cried.
He had known that Lu-ge treated him differently, but he had not expected them to be intimate to this extent.
Last time, when he said he wanted to be “Little Five,” he had only been running his mouth. He had not expected his own words to hit the truth.
He could not win. Zhuang Zhe’an was only a weak Alpha. He still wanted to live.
Shen Chi looked at this guy, who had suddenly started crying pitifully for no reason, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
“Mr. Octopus, are you all right?”
Zhuang Zhe’an cried even louder. “Secretary Shen, next time you resign, can you come find me? I can pay you double your salary. Don’t worry, I won’t look down on you.”
He truly liked Shen Chi’s face. Beautiful and aloof, completely different from those coquettish sluts outside. Simply perfect.
But even if Zhuang Zhe’an did not mind, Shen Chi did.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t plan to change jobs for the time being.”
Zhuang Zhe’an looked at Shen Chi eagerly. “Then can I be your friend?”
There was no hope of becoming Little Five, but surely he could still be a friend. No matter how domineering Lu-ge was, he could not erase Shen Chi’s freedom to make friends, right?
Shen Chi had no real objection, but when he saw Zhuang Zhe’an take out his phone, he said, “Sorry, my phone broke today.”
Zhuang Zhe’an first froze, then burst into loud sobs. “I don’t believe it! How can anyone still use such a terrible excuse these days? You must be lying to me!”
Shen Chi’s head hurt from his crying. “System, which family’s young master is this?”
The system laughed loudly. [The youngest young master of the Zhuang family. He’s been like this since he was little. He likes good-looking people. Don’t worry, he doesn’t have any bad intentions. He’s just a face-con. We need to pay attention to Ruan Shangxue’s side. The necklace around her neck has been stolen. Someone is framing Ye Suxi and stuffed her necklace into Ye Suxi’s pocket.]
The moment Shen Chi heard about the main task, he finally perked up.
“Then who did it?”
The system said, [Ye Suxi’s little sponsor. You know, Ye Suxi is proud. He only came to this small banquet today because he was half-forced and half-threatened. That little sponsor wanted to use the unspoken rules on him, but Ye Suxi refused. The little sponsor thought he was stubborn and wanted to teach him a lesson so he’d obediently listen.]
This kind of thing was not much of a secret in certain circles, but Shen Chi still could not help frowning.
The system added, [In the original plot, after Ye Suxi was framed, he still refused to lower his head. In the end, that little sponsor deliberately called the police and had him taken in, then stirred things up online and made the whole internet turn against him. Although the police later found out the truth, you know how it is. It only takes one mouth to spread a rumor, but endless effort to dispel it.]
The banquet was very lively, but this liveliness had nothing to do with Ye Suxi.
Shen Chi soon found him. At the moment, Ye Suxi was sitting on a sofa in the corner, his out-of-place aura making him seem like an outsider here.
Shen Chi walked over quickly, but what arrived before him was that arrogant and powerful smoke-and-gunpowder pheromone.
Before he had even approached, Ye Suxi’s face had already turned cold in warning. “Stay away from me.”
Shen Chi stopped. “Mr. Ye?”
The familiar cool voice rang out. Ye Suxi’s icy expression changed instantly. He suddenly turned back and saw the person he had been thinking about for so long standing right in front of him.
All the irritation and coldness between his brows vanished, replaced by a spring-breeze-like smile.
“Mr. Shen!”
Ye Suxi immediately stood up. Unlike Zhuang Zhe’an, that weak Alpha, Zhuang Zhe’an had only smelled the warning pheromones of an S-level Alpha after getting close. Ye Suxi had smelled it from the very beginning.
That overbearing pheromone driving others away made him start hating Lu Chenzhou again.
That damned man must have deliberately left his pheromones on Shen Chi again while Shen Chi was not paying attention!
Ye Suxi endured the discomfort and insisted on coming closer. Not only that, he also deliberately released a little of his own pheromones, trying to cover it.
But he had not expected that just as he walked over, Shen Chi would suddenly reach out—and directly into his pocket.
It was scorching summer, with only a thin layer of fabric between them. Ye Suxi was completely at a loss.
His face flushed red as he looked at him. “Mr. Sh-Shen, why are you suddenly touching…”
Halfway through, he felt that this was not right. What did he mean, “suddenly”? If Shen Chi wanted to, he could strip him naked!
“If you like, I can take the initiative and…” Ye Suxi did not dare raise his head, and his voice grew softer and softer. “…take it off.”
This was the first time in his life that he had been so proactive, but he did not regret it.
Sure enough, Shen Chi pulled a diamond necklace out of his coat pocket. Hearing his words, he felt that something was strange. “Huh? I just saw someone put this necklace into your pocket, so I took it out directly. There’s no need to take off your clothes.”
What was going on today? Every single person was saying such strange things.
Ye Suxi’s shyness vanished instantly. He stared fixedly at the expensive diamond necklace in Shen Chi’s hand, his expression ugly.
Having grown up struggling at the bottom, he had seen plenty of tricks like false accusations and framing!
And just as Shen Chi took out the diamond necklace, a commotion broke out near the outdoor stage. Someone cried out in alarm.
“My diamond necklace is missing! Has anyone seen my necklace?”
The next second, the little sponsor the system had mentioned appeared in front of Shen Chi.
He looked decent enough, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his features could be considered proper. But those murky eyes of his were greasy and disgusting when they looked at people.
“Miss Ruan, everyone present is my guest. They’re either rich or noble, so I’m afraid no one would steal a necklace from you. There is only one person…”
He deliberately steered the topic toward Ye Suxi, wearing a conflicted expression.
“Ye Suxi, it shouldn’t be you, right?”
Ye Suxi’s face was cold, his tone calm. “It wasn’t me.”
That man laughed, his malice obvious. “Whether it was you or not, we’ll only know after searching.”
Hearing this, Ruan Shangxue frowned but did not immediately object, until someone stood in front of Ye Suxi.
Shen Chi shielded Ye Suxi behind him, took out the diamond necklace, and looked at Ruan Shangxue with a light, gentle smile.
“Miss Ruan, your necklace is with me.”
Ruan Shangxue’s irritated expression disappeared instantly, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.
“Shen Chi!”
She ran over happily. She did not even take the diamond necklace from his hand immediately. But the moment she approached, she suddenly stopped.
The Alpha pheromones on Shen Chi’s body were so strong, so domineering!
Shen Chi did not notice anything unusual about her. He merely shook the necklace in his hand. “Shall I put it on for you?”
Of course Ruan Shangxue had no objection. Although the pheromones on him made her a little uncomfortable, Miss Ruan had never admitted defeat since she was young. Such a domineering Alpha—she was going to teach him a lesson!
“Okay, okay. Thank you, Shen Chi.”
She answered sweetly, completely unaware that this scene had happened to fall into the eyes of a certain Alpha wearing a bite-stopper.
A petite Omega stood obediently, while behind her, a delicate and beautiful young man was gently helping her put on a necklace.
What a truly pleasing-to-the-eye pic-ture.
