One day later, the office’s annual meeting was held at the hotel as scheduled.

It was the same hotel as the king’s birthday banquet and Luobing’s welcoming feast. All the Imperial banquets were held here.

Luo Ran wore a neat white suit today. The close-fitting fabric was perfectly cut for his waist and slender legs, very elegant.

There was a lot of toasting at the banquet. The people in the office who were usually disheveled had changed from work clothes to nice outfits one by one, and looked quite fresh. 

In addition to the employees from the office’s annual meeting, representatives of the royal family, investors, and other organizations and companies were also present. The banquet had always been a large-scale social platform.

Lucas hadn’t yet returned, and Luo Ran immediately became the target of everyone’s flattery.

“Secretary Luo, you look so good today.” The department ministers came to toast one by one.

“Secretary Luo, the Admiral hasn’t returned yet?” An investor smiled.

Luo Ran didn’t drink, and only smiled while holding orange juice.

He was quite used to these interactions.

Only……

Luo Ran kept subconsciously glancing at the door.

Lucas said he would be back tonight.

It should be soon.

“Secretary Luo, when will you marry the Admiral?” One of the ministers asked on behalf of everyone.

Luo Ran paused, then said with a smile: “You stop joking.”

“Aiya! Hurry up! Get married as soon as possible, otherwise the Admiral will fight all year round!”

“That’s right, Secretary! It’s better to have a child as soon as possible! Many children, for the future of the Empire!”

Luo Ran became more and more helpless.

He was surrounded by a large group of people urging him to get married and have children. Those who didn’t know would think he was participating in a party of his mother’s, Wang Zitong.

“What are you talking about? It’s so lively.”

Several people turned their heads and saw that Lucas had returned at some point.

Lucas had come as soon as he stepped off the aircraft. He was still wearing his dusty military uniform.

Luo Ran was slightly taken back.

He had returned……

Lucas glanced at Luo Ran, then went with a smile to the stage to perform the customary ceremony of cutting the ribbon and pouring wine.

As for the speech for the general department leaders, Lucas had always been too lazy to do it. Even if Luo Ran wrote him a draft, he didn’t bother to read it.

Lucas did his job well, and left after showing his face.

When Lucas got off the stage, he took Luo Ran by the arm, and the two went upstairs together.

He wanted to save face for the other party in public, so Lucas’s actions on the surface were not crude.

Only Luo Ran could feel that his hand was about to be broken off, and Lucas was also breathing heavily. But because there were outsiders here, Luo Ran could only bear it and not shake it off.

Everyone else looked at the two who couldn’t wait to go upstairs as soon as they reunited, and lamented, what a wonderful love.

Ai, a long absence was better than being newlyweds. Damn.

When they went upstairs, Lucas ignored everything else and dragged Luo Ran to the room with long strides.

“Admiral……!” Luo Ran was dragged away, and asked as he stumbled: “Admiral, what’s wrong?”

—Bump

Lucas pulled him into the room and pressed him against the door, smiling: “Is this room familiar?”

“……” Luo Ran was stunned for a moment. He glanced around and then looked at Lucas with some doubt, not knowing if he should say anything or not.

Luo Ran said cautiously: “It’s…..the room where you had an accident with that Omega before.”

Lucas pursed his lips and looked at Luo Ran steadfastly. He was feeling pleasure and happiness at the moment, but there was also an anger that could not be ignored.

This was too contradictory, and Luo Ran couldn’t figure out what Lucas was thinking for the moment.

“Admiral, I…..” Luo Ran said: “What’s going on with you?”

“What’s going on with me?” Lucas continued to smile. He gently rubbed the back of Luo Ran’s head with one hand, and rested the other on Luo Ran’s back, slowly moving down. 

Through the fabric, Luo Ran could feel the warmth of Lucas’s palm.

“I……” Luo Ran could make a rough guess, and could only bite the bullet and say: “Admiral, I was wrong.”

“How were you wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have lied to you. I’m sorry.” Luo Ran immediately explained: “But I had made up my mind to confess. I didn’t intend to keep it a secret.”

Luo Ran was extremely remorseful at the moment. Unexpectedly, Lucas had found out one step ahead of when he had originally planned to bring it up.

“Then when were you going to confess?”

“On your birthday.” He would give him his gift, and bring it up when he was in a happy mood.

“When is my birthday?”

“Next Tuesday.”

Lucas was furious: “You still wanted to hide it until next Tuesday?!”

“……”

“Luo Ran.” Lucas sneered coldly. “Do you remember what I said, what I would do when I found that person?”

Luo Ran whispered: “……You would kill him.”

“I’ll kill you now.”

Bam—

Lucas directly picked Luo Ran up and threw him on the bed.

“Admiral……!” Luo Ran was a little nervous.

Lucas leaned forward and said in a hoarse voice: “Luo Ran.”

“……..” Luo Ran looked at the fierce man in front of him. He paused for a moment and didn’t say anything, agreeing by default.

Anyway, Lucas couldn’t control it now, and unconsciously released Alpha pheromones, which made his limbs go weak and he even……went into heat.

In the face of the person he liked, he couldn’t resist, and would always subconsciously want to respond to the other person.

Luo Ran couldn’t resist, especially because it was Lucas.

The white tea pheromones were elegant and melodious, and the scent was exactly the same as that night.

—It wasn’t the incense that had been knocked over, but the pheromones of this person.

“You dared to lie to me.” Lucas gritted his teeth and bit Luo Ran’s Adam’s apple. “You lied to me. You’re always lying to me.”

“I didn’t…..wu….!”

Luo Ran gripped the quilt tightly with his hands, trembling all over.

It hurt so much.

He was really going to die.

Lucas looked at the man in front of him.

Even at this time, he still tried to adjust his breathing so that he would not be embarrassed. His ten fingers gripping the bedding were reddened with the force, and his neat suit was still on, buttoned to the highest point.

He was still holding on.

Lucas grew angry at the sight, and thought, fuck it all.

Lucas bowed his head and kissed Luo Ran’s lips fiercely, deliberately exerting more force.

“Don’t……” Luo Ran fell apart.

An unknown amount of time later, Luo Ran felt the gland on the back of his neck being bitten, pheromones pouring in from the top and bottom.

He was thoroughly marked by the Alpha in front of him.

. . . . . . . .

For the next three days, nobody saw the two of them.

The susceptible period for Alphas and Omegas with an official mark had always been very long. Lu Cheng tactfully renewed the room for the two, and the guard captain also wisely guarded the stairs so that outsiders would not affect the future of the pillars of the Empire.

Rong Duo didn’t dare to send text messages to Luo Ran’s terminal to bother him and complain tearfully. She just gritted her teeth along with the others and rushed to catch up with business.

After three days, it finally subsided. Luo Ran shrank under the quilt, lying on his stomach without moving.

It was only one night before, but Luo Ran lay in bed for a whole day, unable to get up. It wasn’t comfortable, and it really, really hurt. There were wounds all over his body.

This time, perhaps it was that…..the study materials from Shen Xiluo had achieved results. Although it took a long time, on the one hand, they had the assistance and relief of a spiritual connection and official mark, and on the other hand, Lucas knew how to take care of him, so the experience was pretty good.

After all, the system had appraised them as a 200% match. As long as Lucas was not as reckless as before, abusing people, he would feel comfortable no matter what.

Luo Ran’s hair had been let loose, and the long silver strands fell on his shoulders and back. Red marks and bruises overlaid his body like a painting palette.

Lucas got up and went to the bathroom to wet a towel, then came back to clean up Luo Ran.

“Don’t press on your stomach, it’ll hurt.” Lucas frowned slightly and turned Luo Ran over.

Luo Ran said hoarsely: “Don’t look.”

After an official marking, in order to increase the probability of conception, an Omega’s body had the function of locking in the spend, so his stomach naturally didn’t look good at the moment.

“I’ve seen everything, what does it matter?” Lucas said with a smile: “Don’t pretend.”

He said such a thing, but Lucas knew that Luo Ran was truly embarrassed, so he moved his hands quickly. After wiping down his body, he put a bathrobe on Luo Ran, and then lay down with him in his arms.

The room was full of strong pheromones, white tea and tobacco blended together. Being embraced by Lucas like this, the recently-marked Luo Ran felt very at ease and comfortable.

“Ranran.” Lucas rested his chin on Luo Ran’s hair and said: “Next time you lie to me again, I will lock you up and beat you every day just like I did now. I’ll beat you hard.”

Luo Ran blushed. He paused for a moment, then said: “Admiral, I’m sorry.”

Lucas was a little surprised.

Luo Ran said: “I know it was really wrong for me to lie to you for so long, and to keep watching you investigate everywhere like this, but I didn’t mean to. Firstly, I wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, and secondly……I think survival and self-protection is everyone’s knee-jerk reaction.”

Lucas wanted to kill that person one bite at a time before, and Luo Ran was so foolish that he threw himself into deeper water.

He had initially wanted to wait for Lucas’s anger to slowly dissipate, then confess after he no longer cared about it as much, but didn’t expect that Lucas would grow angrier by the day. As an Alpha, it could be said that it was rare to be troubled by one’s own “virginity.”

“Ha!” Lucas laughed angrily. He gripped Luo Ran’s hand and patted his back lightly, saying: “You really thought I would do something to you? That’s what you think of me? How are you the same as others!?”

“I thought that even if you didn’t kill me, you would be angry.” Then Luo Ran said with a smile: “Wasn’t I afraid that I would lose my job?”

Lucas frowned.

Although Luo Ran said it in a joking tone, Lucas knew what was going on.

Lucas remembered Luo Ran’s evasion and hesitation in the face of his pursuit.

He was clearly a rational and confident person most of the time, but he always had concerns about him.

Lucas also said in a joking tone: “What? You thought I wouldn’t want you? Then you were thinking too much. No matter how angry I am, I will tolerate you. After all, I need you to handle official and daily affairs for me, so I’ll have to bow my head and ask for your help.”

“Now there is one more requirement. Don’t worry, you won’t lose your job.” Lucas rubbed Luo Ran’s face like a scoundrel.

Luo Ran: “…….”

Luo Ran smiled and said: “Good night..…Admiral.”

He was really tired. He had probably never thought in his life that he would live and sleep with his boss, only relying on nutrient solution for three days.

“En.”

. . . . . . . .

After Luo Ran fell asleep, Lucas picked him up, covered Luo Ran’s face and neck with his jacket, and left the room.

Lucas took the VIP private passage and brought Luo Ran back to the office. He let him continue to sleep in the office bedroom, and read official documents himself.

They had been hands-off for three days, and too many important matters had piled up. Lucas felt that he would be a bit of a beast to make Luo Ran read through them now, so he could only bite the bullet.

Lucas walked out of the office after putting on his military uniform, and saw Rong Duo looking at him with a very mystifying expression.

After all, Rong Duo had seen Luo Ran being carried into the room by Lucas, so she knew what was going on.

There was even a bit of condemnation, as if she was looking at a scumbag.

Lucas: “ ? ”

Lucas thought Rong Duo’s mind must be broken, so he ignored her and went to military headquarters.

When he appeared there, Wang Qiuyang and Lu Cheng were also shocked.

Wang Qiuyang: “Scumbag!”

Lu Cheng: “Scumbag!”

Lucas: “ ? ? ”

Wang Qiuyuang was in disbelief: “Oh my god, Admiral, you’re still working at this time?”

Lu Cheng was also in disbelief: “How can the Admiral come out at such a time!”

Lucas bared his teeth and said: “Fuck off, let it go.”

Wang Qiuyang grieved and lamented: “Fortunately, Secretary Luo isn’t an Omega.”

Lucas’s heart skipped a beat. He frowned and said: “What’s wrong with that!”

Seeing that Lucas really didn’t know, Lu Cheng could only say: “After being officially marked by an Alpha, both Betas and Omegas will become very dependent on the Alpha’s pheromones for a short period of time, and Omegas will even build a nest. Although Secretary Luo is a Beta, he will need the Admiral’s pheromones very much at this time. How could you just come out like this…..!”

Lucas’s eyes widened.

Ah?

Then Lucas, who was just about to start working, turned around and ran away.
