Targeted by a Shady Top Alpha, I Pretended to Be Obedient and Faked My Death – CH75

Chapter 75: Too Late to Be Afraid

Shen Chi thought of how, during his previous pseudo-heat, this man had said the same thing to him. He immediately became much more confident.

Especially when the other man called him heartless, his expression truly became just as he had said. In those clear, cold eyes, there was not a single unnecessary emotion.

“President Lu, bringing personal feelings into work is a major taboo.”

“You are my superior, and I am the person who least wants anything to happen to you.”

“What happened today was purely help. Just like…” Under the other man’s gradually deepening pupils, Shen Chi no longer cared whether he would get angry or not. He took a deep breath and continued, “Just like how you helped me last time.”

Secretary Shen, who had been forced into a corner all the way here, his eyes wet and red with no way out, suddenly became sharp-tongued. Every word struck straight at the heart.

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes reddened from anger, and he nearly ground his back teeth to pieces.

The words he had once used to coax Shen Chi had now become a boomerang, striking him right between the brows.

“In that case, Secretary Shen should help to the end. If you’re sending Buddha off, send him all the way west!”

After saying that, before Shen Chi could react, he suddenly scooped him up by the waist.

The sudden weightlessness made Shen Chi cry out in alarm.

He instinctively wrapped his arms around the other man’s neck, the fear on his face not yet faded. “What are you doing?”

Lu Chenzhou held Shen Chi in his large hands, the corner of his mouth carrying a cold, fierce smile. “Didn’t I say it already? Help to the end. Don’t tell me Secretary Shen wants to give up halfway?”

His voice sounded from above Shen Chi’s head. Shen Chi bit his lip, suppressing the urge to struggle. Then the other man suddenly lowered his head again.

“Secretary Shen, don’t worry. I won’t treat you unfairly.”

His gloomy voice exploded beside Shen Chi’s ear. That dense, chilling aura was as if he wished he could bite Shen Chi’s earbone while speaking to him, yet the breath he exhaled was scorching and damp, forming a stark contrast.

Shen Chi froze all over. His eyes were red, and his beautiful, thick lashes could not stop trembling.

He was afraid. He was avoiding him. But Lu Chenzhou had already been overwhelmed by anger.

Holding him, he walked steadily all the way back into the villa.

The other pheromones clinging to Shen Chi had long since been covered by his own, but he was still displeased. Those damned Alphas, Betas, Omegas—their pheromones were messy and disgusting.

Irritated, he kicked open the bathroom door. Under Shen Chi’s stunned gaze, he directly turned on the shower.

Under the impact of the cold water, Shen Chi shivered all over. He abruptly raised his eyes and met Lu Chenzhou’s terrifying gaze, and his heart could not help trembling.

He instinctively struggled, but the difference in strength between an Alpha and a Beta was too great. The other man only needed one hand to firmly clasp his waist.

“Lu Chenzhou, let go!”

The momentum he had when hitting him earlier had already been mostly washed away by the cold water.

Earlier, Lu Chenzhou had been willing to play along with him, humble himself, pretend to be obedient, and act wronged. But when he heard Shen Chi say it was purely help, he completely broke.

He had done so much, and in the end, it was only a simple superior-subordinate relationship?

And that sentence about bringing personal feelings into work being a major taboo.

Then what did he, Lu Chenzhou, count as in Shen Chi’s eyes? A joke? Or a major taboo?!

“I won’t.” Lu Chenzhou ground his back teeth, his expression dark. When Shen Chi struggled, he even angrily reached out and slapped him.

With a crisp sound.

Lu Chenzhou only felt softness in his palm. He could not resist and slapped him again.

Once, twice…

Shen Chi’s eyes suddenly widened, his face full of shame and fury.

Damn Lu Chenzhou! Where the hell was he hitting?!

“Be good, Secretary Shen. You know an Alpha’s susceptible period isn’t that easy to get through. Although I was injected with an inhibitor, you also know my pheromones are disordered. I could lose control at any time.”

Shen Chi was furious. Only his pheromones were disordered. Only he could lose control at any time. Only he could hit his butt whenever he wanted?

Fuck!

“Lu Chenzhou, try hitting me one more time!”

At some point, the shower water had changed from cold to warm. Without that icy stimulation, Shen Chi was no longer as miserable as before, trembling all over. But Secretary Shen, soaked from head to toe, was truly too alluring.

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes darkened. He curved his lips, admiring inch by inch the poor little puppy he had ruined into a mess, and sighed. “So disheveled, Secretary Shen.”

Shen Chi lowered his eyes, letting the warm water soak his hair. He said coldly, “You don’t look much better yourself, President Lu.”

Lu Chenzhou stared fixedly at that beautiful face. Suddenly, he noticed the wound on Shen Chi’s lower lip.

It was a very shallow wound, as if someone had bitten it open. Lu Chenzhou’s eyes narrowed abruptly. Then he suddenly remembered where that mark had come from.

In the car, when the pitiful Secretary Shen had nowhere to retreat, Lu Chenzhou had held his hand, and Shen Chi could only helplessly bite down on his own lower lip.

Lu Chenzhou laughed.

His laughter carried a trace of malice. “Secretary Shen, since we’re helping each other, it wouldn’t make sense for you to help me and for me not to help you.”

Hearing the end of his sentence, fear once again swept over Shen Chi’s whole body. He did not know what madness this man was about to unleash again. All he could do was tense up and stare at him warily.

“Although I don’t know what you want to help me with, President Lu, I don’t currently need any—”

Before he could finish, Lu Chenzhou suddenly reached out.

The next second, Shen Chi was like a frightened rabbit, his red-rimmed eyes wide open. His whole body froze in place, not daring to move. Soon, in the huge bathroom, apart from the sound of running water and breathing, there were no other sounds.

After another unknown length of time.

A subtle change appeared in Shen Chi’s expression. His tense body seemed to lose all strength, and in the end, it was only because Lu Chenzhou held his waist with one hand that he did not slide to the floor.

Lu Chenzhou looked at his other hand with an unreadable gaze…

Shen Chi tightly shut his eyes. Miserable and humiliated, he seemed unwilling to face reality.

But that damned Lu Chenzhou leaned beside his ear and laughed softly. “As expected of Secretary Shen. You’re fast at everything you do.”

Beneath Shen Chi’s thin eyelids, his eyes moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing and did not even open his eyes.

Then he heard that lunatic suddenly say playfully, “But the taste isn’t bad. Secretary Shen, thank you for the treat.”

At this point, Shen Chi’s emotions finally reached their breaking point. He collapsed and opened his eyes, only to see the other man slowly pulling his fingers out through the gap in the bite-stopper.

Shen Chi stood there like a wooden chicken, unable to believe there was actually someone in this world who could do something to this extent.

He broke down.

He went mad.

He cursed furiously, “Lu Chenzhou, are you sick?!”

Hearing this, Lu Chenzhou tilted his head. “Hm? Secretary Shen, I thought you already knew. I’m sick, so I can have an episode at any time. Secretary Shen, are you afraid now?”

Who wouldn’t be afraid of this?!

Lu Chenzhou saw the retreat in his eyes, and violent anger began to rampage through his body again. But in the end, he only curved his lips.

“Secretary Shen, it’s too late to be afraid now.”
