Chapter 04.4  – How Could Fu Sheng Bully Him Like This

Kindly read this novel at https://secondlifetranslations.com/novel/pheromone-scam/

The housekeeper understood the implied meaning and knew that the future Mrs. Fu was about to change. Being astute, he mixed He Yuan’s birthday gift into the guest list, storing it away in a room and never mentioning it again.

After leaving the Fu family, He Yuan wandered aimlessly. During this time, he received an audio call from Fu Sheng. Even after hanging up, he had no idea what he had answered. Unconsciously, he ended up at “Soulmate” and decided to drown himself in alcohol, entering Fu Sheng’s name to order a drink.

Late at night, He Yuan returned home, completely drunk. He lay on the sofa and couldn’t sleep for even half an hour. Suddenly, the lights came on brightly, forcing him to open his eyes and look towards the entrance in surprise. He was astonished to find Fu Sheng standing at the foyer.

“Soulmate notified me that my card was used,” Fu Sheng stepped in, looking down at He Yuan from a higher vantage point, blocking the overhead light. His expression was not very clear, and his tone was cold and stern. “Why did you leave halfway and go to drink?”

He Yuan looked up. “So?”

Fu Sheng replied, “There’s a change in leadership coming up, even in the military district. Zheng Da, a major general in the military district, is being promoted to lieutenant general and being transferred from his position. I’m going to replace him, but I’ve been using suppressants… Some of my medical indicators aren’t up to standard. He Beijia’s pheromones can help improve those indicators, so I kept him around.”

He Yuan asked, “What reason did you give to keep He Beijia around?”

Fu Sheng remained silent.

He Yuan nodded. “I see. You want to marry him. So, how do you plan to use his pheromones? I know, you want him to help you relieve your r*t and want him to have s*x with you—after all, alphas can’t resist omegas. Have you slept together?”

Fu Sheng answered, “No.”

“Oh.” He Yuan nodded, feeling a headache. After a moment of confusion, he asked again, “Have you used his pheromones?”

Fu Sheng replied, “I’m preparing to extract and inject them externally.”

Fu Sheng lit a cigarette and smoked in silence, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. He hadn’t opened up until now. “He Yuan, I won’t touch He Beijia. You are my wife, the person I love. That won’t change no matter what. I’ve already made it clear to He Beijia that I’m only using his pheromones and won’t marry him. I’m just giving him some compensation and keeping him in the public eye… You also dislike the social engagements of the Fu family, right? I promise, I won’t divorce you.”

In other words, it was just a piece of paper proving their marital relationship, while everyone else believed that He Beijia was Fu Sheng’s wife?

He Yuan couldn’t believe it and found it ridiculous. How could Fu Sheng bully him like this?

He voiced his doubts, “Even elementary school students know that when alphas release pheromones, they can’t resist the natural instinct to get close to each other. The higher the pheromone compatibility, the more intense the reaction. They are completely dominated by their animalistic instincts and can’t suppress their closeness with suppressants. How can you be sure that you can resist the instinct to get close to He Beijia? Have you smelled his pheromones? You say you’re only extracting his pheromones, but you spend all your time together. If one day you both experience a heat at the same time, can you resist it?”

“Fu Sheng, nowadays AOs wear safety devices when they’re outside. If it’s not because you smell each other’s pheromones, how would you know that your pheromone compatibility with He Beijia is the highest?” He Yuan stared at Fu Sheng. “Fu Sheng, is it your pheromones that He Beijia smelled, or is it He Beijia’s pheromones that you smelled? It must be you, that’s why you say He Beinjia has helped you.”

“Just last month, the reason you two met. Isn’t that right, Fu Sheng?”

Fu Sheng maintained a serious expression. “Yes.”

He Yuan said, “You lied to me.”

Fu Sheng: “I did not intend to deceive you.”

He Yuan suddenly remembered everything from Fang Gaomin to He Xingwen, from the attitudes of the Fu family to He Beijia personally seeking him out. He suddenly realised that, yes, Fu Sheng didn’t intend to deceive him. Otherwise, how could those people dare to come and point fingers at him?

He had forgotten that Fu Sheng had always been authoritarian in his actions, even Mother Fu was somewhat afraid of him, let alone those peers and juniors. If it weren’t for Fu Sheng’s consent, no one would dare to mention He Beijia in front of him.

He Yuan smiled. “So, you’ve been very honest with me.”

Fu Sheng held his hand. “He Yuan, I just need a stable pheromone source to get through this important period. If you really can’t accept it, I’ll try to keep He Beijia away from you as much as possible.”

He Yuan looked deeply into his eyes, feeling a void in his heart. He found it somewhat absurd and laughable. He didn’t know what to say to Fu Sheng, but he recalled a certain scene from his memory—a picture of an alpha in r*t attempting to resist his instincts, but ending up with a broken head and numerous wounds, unable to resist his nature and becoming a beast that only knew mating, ugly, dirty, and extremely disgusting.

Fu Sheng would become like that too, right?

Just as He Yuan was about to pull his hand back, the phone suddenly rang. Fu Sheng answered the call and heard an urgent voice on the other end from the military officer, saying, “Major General Fu, something has happened! There was a batch of raw jadeite material being traded by the Fang family tonight, and a journalist managed to infiltrate. We couldn’t suppress the news in time, and it’s already been made public.”

Fu Sheng glanced at He Yuan and said, “I’ll explain later.” Then he got up and went to the study.

He Yuan could faintly hear the conversation on the other end of the call, with the military officer saying, “There’s a problem with the raw jadeite material… Some people from the Fu family are involved… It’s related to a border shooting… We can’t contain it…”

The author has something to say:

The usage of “登堂入室”¹“Dēng táng rù shì” (登堂入室) is a Chinese idiom that literally translates to “ascend the hall and enter the room”. This phrase has been earlier used by the author in  para “Fang Gaomin chuckled, “Don’t play games with us, my friend. You and He Beijia have already taken things to the next level. The only thing missing is for Auntie to introduce her by saying, ‘This is my daughter-in-law.’ The entire Fu family has that attitude, and you didn’t object… Since that’s the case, you have to deal with the person in your family, or else how can you face He Beijia?” in the text is incorrect, haha.

It’s almost there, almost there, I’m so happy.

Next, we will delve into Fu Sheng’s scumbagness. The reason is that his status is too high, he is too career-oriented, and He Yuan behaves too obediently. So he thinks that He Yuan will give in, and then he will fall down very hard.

He Yuan deceived Fu Sheng, using him for something, not out of any life-saving grace. There are no coincidental misunderstandings. He Yuan is simply calculating.

PS: Fu Sheng and He Beijia will not have a relationship. He has a cleanliness obsession and cannot accept anyone else.

PPS: He Yuan is truly not weak, nor is he humble.
