But in the end, rationality overcame emotion. Gu Jingzhou hugged Shen Jun and gently released an appropriate amount of pheromones to comfort him. Shen Jun indeed calmed down a lot after smelling the scent of gardenia.

Gu Jingzhou tried to carry him out, but just as they reached the door, Shen Jun keenly noticed that there was another Alpha in the room. His body immediately tensed up. Gu Jingzhou had to pat Shen Jun's back and release more energies to comfort him.

The result was still not ideal. The further Shen Jun walked out, the more he resisted. He struggled to escape, and the whimpering sound in his mouth was incoherent, but Gu Jingzhou still heard it clearly.

Shen Jun said, I don’t want anyone else, I just want you... Don’t leave me, I’m scared.

Gu Jingzhou endured it again and again, and even the blue veins beside his temples bulged slightly, showing his extreme forbearance at the moment.

Damn it, Gu Jingzhou cursed in his heart, his hands clenched uncontrollably. After a long period of mental preparation, he finally made up his mind to suppress Shen Jun's crazy struggle and took him out.

Xu Zhixi and Secretary Zhao waited for a long time before they saw Gu Jingzhou coming out with someone in his arms. The first time Xu Zhixi saw Shen Jun, he almost figured out what was going on.

Shen Jun was so nervous that he kept snuggling into Gu Jingzhou's arms, his hands unconsciously clenching Gu Jingzhou's shoulders, leaving several marks of varying depths on them.

"Sorry, I told you, he is very resistant to seeing anyone except me. Please go and see him quickly, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it later." Gu Jingzhou hugged Shen Jun and his voice was a little low.

"No need," Xu Zhixi said, "I already know, just let him go, he can't see outsiders now."

Gu Jingzhou glanced at Xu Zhixi with some doubt in his eyes, as if he didn't believe that he could confirm the symptoms with just one glance. Xu Zhixi was speechless when his professional ability was questioned.

"Don't worry. If I say I know, I know. Let him go first, otherwise his spirit will be damaged. Don't blame me for not reminding you then." Xu Zhixi said coldly.

Gu Jingzhou then nodded and let Shen Jun go back temporarily. Before leaving, he considerately released a large amount of pheromones in the room to prevent Shen Jun from doing anything extreme when he left.

Just before closing the door, Shen Jun looked up at Gu Jingzhou. His eyes showed reluctance, annoyance, and even helplessness of being abandoned.

Gu Jingzhou resisted the urge to rush in and hug the person, so he ruthlessly closed the door and walked out.

Xu Zhixi felt as if his life depended on the two of them being separated for such a short while, and he simply couldn't bear to watch. Gu Jingzhou moved to Xu Zhixi's side, looking back every few steps.

"So what happened to him?" Gu Jingzhou asked.

Xu Zhixi folded his hands in front of his chest and answered him seriously: "I don't mean to say that Master Gu is too cruel. Even in the estrus period, you can't... ahem, you can't be so unrestrained. You have made Beta go into a false estrus period. You are really amazing."

Gu Jingzhou frowned, and his expression froze for a moment, "What does fake estrus mean?"

"That's what it means. Just like an omega in estrus, they will stick to their Alpha. Come on, how did you take biology class that you don't even know this?" Xu Zhixi retorted to him bluntly.

Gu Jingzhou rarely did not retort, but he was still worried, "But he is a Beta, will this cause any harm to his body?" Gu Jingzhou asked.

"Don't worry, the harm is not serious. It will just make him dependent on you for a while, just like when an omega is first marked. He will recover after your pheromones are metabolized from his body."

"Don't Betas have glands? Why would he show... desire for my pheromones?"

"Although they don't have glands, they can sense the presence of pheromones through blood and other human secretions. It's just that their perception of pheromones is very slow, unless... they ingest excessive amounts." When talking about excessive intake, Xu Zhixi looked up and looked at Gu Jingzhou.

"If there's some bad-intentioned Alpha who keeps sending them pheromones, they'll be able to sense it. Look at him... it'll take at least four or five days to metabolize it. If you have any conscience, take good care of him." Xu Zhixi scolded Gu Jingzhou with a look of disgust on his face.

"...I understand." Gu Jingzhou only replied with three words.

Secretary Zhao took Xu Zhixi away, and Gu Jingzhou was the only one left in the room. He slowly released pheromones to make sure there was no scent of other Alphas in the room before opening the bedroom door and going in.

Shen Jun was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep hugging the pillow that Gu Jingzhou had slept on. Beta was not sleeping well in his dream. His brows were furrowed and he looked like he had a nightmare.

The moment Gu Jingzhou approached, Shen Jun immediately wrapped himself around him like a giant octopus.

He is now afraid that Gu Jingzhou will leave him, so once Gu Jingzhou gets close to him, he will get close to Gu Jingzhou unconditionally. Shen Jun lying in Gu Jingzhou's arms seems to feel that it is not enough and rubs his furry head hard into Gu Jingzhou's arms.

Gu Jingzhou released pheromones and hugged the person tightly. The comforted Beta smoothed his brows and calmed down.

Gu Jingzhou's hand with thin calluses slowly stroked Shen Jun's cheek. Because of his sleeping posture, Shen Jun's cheek was a little red. Gu Jingzhou rubbed the skin there with a little force to make it more rosy before letting go.

"Shen Jun..." Gu Jingzhou called his name, but the man in his sleep did not give him any response. He just snorted softly and snuggled into Gu Jingzhou's arms.

"I really wish you were an Omega... so that I could mark you permanently and make you inseparable from me..." Gu Jingzhou stroked Shen Jun's cheek, his deep voice carrying a possessive tone that was hard to ignore.

Before this, Gu Jingzhou had never thought that he would mark an omega or have anything happen with an omega, because he felt that permanent marking would be a time-consuming and troublesome thing for him, as it meant that someone would be tied to him because of its pheromones.

Gu Jingzhou didn't like this. He didn't want to be bound by pheromones. To be easily bound because of a little bit of pheromone seemed barbaric, bestial and unacceptable to Gu Jingzhou. If Omgea got pregnant because of the marking, it would be a huge trouble for Gu Jingzhou, which meant that he had to devote his energy to taking care of the family.

What he wanted was for two people to be together because they had a mutual understanding, not because of that damn pheromone bond.

But now... he kept thinking, why? Why wasn't Shen Jun an omega? If so, Shen Jun would never leave him, never, even if it was because of the influence of pheromones, even if he would get into trouble with an inexplicable child.

The child...his and Shen Jun's child...seems to be doing pretty well too.

He loved Shen Jun so much that he couldn't live without him, he clung to Shen Jun and depended on Shen Jun, even if this dependence was only because he was sick.
