Arc 7: Chapter 13
As a 2S-rank Omega from the main Lin family, Lin Yuan’s partner naturally had to match his qualifications. Chu Yu was a 2S-rank Alpha from the Hoffman family, another of the old noble families of the Capital Star, and a Lieutenant General at a young age.
It was common for the children of noble families to marry each other. If two families were both interested in marrying, then they would first test pheromone compatibility. If the two parties had a pheromone compatibility that exceeded 80%, then they would meet face to face.
If both the Alpha and Omega were satisfied with the other party, they would get to know each other by going on a few days, and then proceed to get engaged.
Lin Yuan and Chu Yu had a compatibility score of 91%, and the elders of both families were very pleased and arranged a meeting between them.
“Ah? I… Brother, can I not go?” Lin Yuan sent a voice message back.
Lin Yuan didn’t want to do the scumbag behavior of meeting another man when he already had a husband.
In the next moment, a call from Lin Qian’s call came. Lin Yuan fidgeted for a moment and then picked up the call with a sigh.
“Lin Yuan, what do you mean you don’t want to go?” Lin Qian’s voice was clearly displeased.
Lin Yuan had not met this brother of his many times, and was scared by Lin Qian suddenly calling but his full name. He instinctively shrank his shoulders.
Lin Qian continued coldly: “Lin Yuan, you were the one who agreed to meet him at the start, but now a day before the meetup you want to cancel? How would we explain this to the Hoffman family?”
This was a very reasonable argument, making Lin Yuan feel a little guilty. If only he had arrived to this world a month earlier, then he wouldn’t be struggling with this problem.
Lin Yuan grumbled softly: “Do I really have to meet him? Then if I don’t like him, I don’t have to see him again right?”
Lin Qian could see right through this little brother of his. Lin Yuan clearly wasn’t interested in Chu Yu at all. His voice softened: “A’yuan, you obviously were still willing to meet him when we showed you Chu Yu’s photos, why did you suddenly change your mind?” Lin Qian’s brain turned quickly. It was hard to explain why his little brother wouldn’t even give Chu Yu a chance, unless… he already had an Alpha.
Some dog had stolen their little bunny!
The moment Lin Qian thought that his family’s cute, beautiful, and well-behaved little bunny might’ve been deceived by some dog Alpha, he ground his teeth in anger. As an Alpha, he was naturally territorial about his family members, especially Lin Yuan. Chu Yu was barely tolerable because he was a decent marriage candidate, but he didn’t accept some unknown Alpha out of nowhere.
Not to mention, that dog Alpha must not have good intentions, otherwise, how could he not have been introduced by Lin Yuan, or visited the Lin family in person?
Damn it, what step had they reached? Did that dog touch the bunny’s little tummy? Lin Qian hadn’t even gotten many chances to touch the bunny’s soft tummy!
Lin Yuan didn’t know that Lin Qian had labeled the Imperial Marshal as a dog Alpha. He cleared his throat and pretended to say profoundly: “I just feel like Chu Yu isn’t right for me. Brother, there’s a saying, an Omega’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the seaーunfathomable.”
Lin Qian had no patience to listen to his family’s bunny riddles. He sneered: “A’yuan, do you think your older brother is stupid? I’ll give you one last chance. Be honest, do you have dog- do you have a boyfriend?”
Lin Yuan instantly panicked. His eyes wandered guiltily and whispered, afraid that someone might overhear: “Brother! What are you talking about? I don’t have a boyfriend, no way!”
Technically he had a husband, not a boyfriend.
Lin Qian would trust ghosts more than his little brother’s words. He said sternly: “Really? Then there’s no reason for you to not meet with Chu Yu. Maybe the more you see him, the more you’ll like him.”
Lin Yuan knew that his brother had already guessed that he had an Alpha. He pouted and muttered with frustration: “Brother, you’re so mean. You’ve already figured it out but you still bully me.”
Lin Qian’s pheromones leaked out with anger. He knew it! His family’s little bunny was stolen by an Alpha!
“Who is it? A student at Imperial University? What year? What’s your pheromone compatibility? He didn’t mark you, did he?”
Lin Yuan was bombarded by questions. He answered carefully: “He’s not a student, and he hasn’t marked me. Our compatibility score is 88%.”
Lin Qian frowned. This score wasn’t low, but still lacking compared to Chu Yu’s 91%. Tsk, Lin Qian disdained this unknown dog Alpha even more, he lectured Lin Yuan: “Bunny, a 88% compatibility score is a little low. Do you know when the score is below 90%, if that Alpha encounters another Omega with a higher compatibility, they’re easily attracted to the one with the better match?”
This kind of situation wasn’t uncommon in this Empire, and there were no rules preventing Alphas or Omegas from choosing higher compatibility partners.
But Lin Yuan didn’t believe that this situation would happen with Wei Feng, after all, even though Wei Feng and Bai Cen had a compatibility score of 97%, didn’t they still hate each other?
Lin Yuan said tactically: “Brother, I won’t like someone just because of pheromones, and I don’t want pheromones to choose the person who I spend the rest of my life with.”
Pheromones could be seen as a direct expression of desire, and there was no shame in humans chasing after desire. But for Lin Yuan, his heart would only beat for one person.
Lin Qian paused, not expecting his little brother to say something so deep. He sighed softly: “A’yuan, you’re underestimating the influence of pheromones. If you were in heat, and there was a 88% Alpha and a 91% Alpha in front of you, your pheromones, your spiritual power, and your instincts will all choose one with higher compatibility. This is the best choice.”
Lin Yuan didn’t agree with what Lin Qian said. There would never be an opportunity for him to choose, because his only choice was his husband. Lin Yuan angrily hung up the call and stormed back to his dorm room, immediately calling Wei Feng to tell him everything.
The corners of his eyes were red with anger and grievance: “I don’t want that 91, I only want you! My brother is being so mean!”
Wei Feng had no idea about this blind date, because this information hadn’t appeared in the files when he investigated Lin Yuan’s background.
When he finished listening, Wei Feng’s gaze turned gloomy and cold. His aura turned aggressive and violent as he felt a sense of his treasure being coveted.
Lin Yuan quickly noticed the Alpha’s anger and tried to soothe him: “Don’t be mad. This was something that was arranged when I hadn’t met you. But I swear, I’ve only liked you in my life. Even if Chu Yu was standing naked in front of me, I wouldn’t give him a chance.”
Wei Feng said coldly: “If Chu Yu stook naked in front of you, I might abuse my authority and send him to a border planet, and prevent him from returning to Capital Star for the rest of his life.”
Lin Yuan didn’t expect Wei Feng to react so strongly and softened his tone: “Wei Feng, I really don’t like Chu Yu. You are a hundred times more amazing than him, how could I like someone else?”
Wei Feng lowered his eyes, broadening the shadow casted over his face: “...Baby, I’m not that amazing. Right now, I’m not as good as Chu Yu at all. My glands are damaged, my spiritual power is unstable, I’m disfigured, and…I’m still someone else’s husband. Chu Yu is better than me in every way.”
In front of Wei Feng’s bluntness, Lin Yuan suddenly didn’t know what to say. He ruffled his hair, golden silk threats tousled randomly, like a puffed up bunny: “So what, anyways, however good he is has nothing to do with me! I just like you, only you!”
Lin Yuan immersed himself in the role of a seductress vixen and acted his best: “Wei Feng~ you know, my family has a huge greenhouse in the backyard that’s abundant with snow roses. That greenhouse was my twelfth birthday gift, so it completely belongs to me.”
“Would you like to… do it in there? Hmm, Wei Feng?”
Lin Yuan’s eyes shimmered like crystals, but his words were like dangerous traps: “Tomorrow’s the day I’m supposed to meet Chu Yu. Do you want me to skip the date and come find you instead?”
Wei Feng felt his blood boil at the suggestion, and he swallowed heavily: “Baby, you’re getting way too bold. Have you thought of what would happen if we get caught?”
Lin Yuan licked his lips slowly, noticing the way that it made Wei Feng’s eyes darken, and smiled internally: “So Marshal, you have to be gentle. Make sure I don’t make a sound.”
“Marshal~ we haven’t seen each other for so long… my stomach feels empty, I want you to feed me a lot tomorrow…”
