Chapter Index

    In the midst of chaotic dizziness, Yan Yuzhou heard Shen Ci’s voice. Instantly, a sense of peace washed over him. Once he clearly saw that the person holding him was indeed Shen Ci, he tightened his arms even more, a hint of doubt surfacing in his heart as he hurriedly asked, “Then what’s with your desk calendar? It clearly says ‘gland suppression surgery’…”

    Shen Ci looked at him, his eyes deep and somber. After a long pause, he finally explained, “It’s Chang Fa. I had Old Fan directly suppress his glands to prevent him from harming others again.”

    Only then did Yan Yuzhou remember—that bastard who had previously made him addicted and nearly violated him. During this period, neither he nor Shen Ci had mentioned Chang Fa or Ran Youyou’s names, to the point where Yan Yuzhou almost forgot about that person. Now that Shen Ci brought it up, and seeing the fleeting ruthlessness in Shen Ci’s eyes, Yan Yuzhou finally realized that Shen Ci had never truly let go of that incident.

    Softening his voice, Yan Yuzhou coaxed gently, “Husband, that matter is already in the past. It wasn’t your fault, and besides, I’ve already recovered…”

    “In my mind, it’s not over yet.” Shen Ci spoke in a low voice, his expression grim. “Zhouzhou, I can’t forget how you almost gouged out your own gland because of that. Just giving that scum Chang Fa gland suppression was already letting him off too easily.”

    Yan Yuzhou saw Shen Ci’s dark expression and felt a twinge of pain in his heart, followed by an overwhelming surge of warmth. For some reason, his glands were unusually sensitive today, seemingly ignited by a sudden heat, constantly clamoring for attention.

    Shen Ci noticed his discomfort, assuming it was due to Yan Yuzhou’s heat and his body’s rejection of Shen Ci’s pheromones. He gently pried Yan Yuzhou’s small arms from around him. “Zhouzhou, I’ll find a doctor to give you an inhibitor shot.”

    Suddenly, a small hand tugged pitifully at the hem of his shirt. Shen Ci looked down to see Yan Yuzhou’s flushed face and clear, watery eyes.

    “Shen Ci, can we try one more time? Just once—please? If it really doesn’t work, then we can see the doctor, okay?” Yan Yuzhou’s face scrunched up cutely, making it impossible for Shen Ci to refuse.

    But their compatibility level made it impossible to successfully mark. Shen Ci shook his head. “Zhouzhou, it will hurt.”

    A glimmer of determination flashed in Yan Yuzhou’s eyes. He then pulled Shen Ci’s body down and spoke in an adorably soft voice, “Please? We’re in the hospital. Even if something goes wrong, we can get help right away…”

    Shen Ci’s expression softened a bit. Looking at the resolute omega before him, he let out a helpless sigh and turned the omega around. “If it hurts, you have to tell me right away—we’ll go find a doctor immediately.”

    Yan Yuzhou’s heart skipped with joy. As he was pressed down, his petite body couldn’t help but squirm, nodding repeatedly. “Got it, got it. Just bite me.”

    Though Shen Ci hesitated, his little wife’s pitiful pleading left him with no choice. Gritting his teeth, he steeled his heart, aimed at the smooth, tender protrusion, and bit down fiercely.

    Pheromones surged inward at an astonishing speed, with some spilling into the air. In an instant, the entire room was filled with the fragrance of summer roses—harmonious, warm, and utterly unrestrained.

    The person beneath him was nothing like what Shen Ci had expected—there was no curling up in pain. Instead, there was no resistance, just an unexpected, complete silence.

    This extreme abnormality made Shen Ci furrow his brows deeply. For a moment, he almost thought his omega had fainted from the pain.

    Panicked, he released his bite and flipped the little rose over into his embrace, only to be met with a pair of tear-filled eyes—brimming with disbelief and joy.

    “Baby, does it hurt badly?” Shen Ci asked anxiously.

    Yan Yuzhou’s gaze was momentarily blank before slowly regaining clarity. He grabbed Shen Ci’s collar, his voice a bit dazed, shaking his head as he murmured, “So strange…”

    Shen Ci’s heart skipped a beat as he pulled him closer, asking urgently, “What’s wrong, baby? Where does it hurt?”

    Yan Yuzhou blinked, reached out to pinch his own cheek, and then yelped in pain.

    With a darkened expression, Shen Ci took hold of his hand, casting a disapproving glance at him. Gently rubbing the now-reddened cheek, he scolded, “What are you doing?”

    Yan Yuzhou innocently furrowed his brows, his eyes misty. “It’s strange—it doesn’t hurt at all… On the contrary, it feels even more comfortable than before.”

    Shen Ci’s heart thudded as he picked him up, carefully examining the gland area.

    To his surprise, it no longer had the previous swollen, painful appearance that would lock up at the slightest touch. The fresh bite mark was still steadily releasing pheromones, displaying a lively and welcoming state.

    While still puzzled, Yan Yuzhou leaned closer, a sweet, naive smile on his face. “Husband, why does your body feel so warm… like the afternoon sunlight… I really like it…”

    As he spoke, his voice grew softer. Snuggling into Shen Ci’s arms, he found a comfortable position, tilted his head, and unexpectedly fell asleep.

    Shen Ci frowned, his expression tense, worried that something had happened to his little rose. Heart pounding with anxiety, he made a phone call, summoning Fan Qidao, who had just come out of the operating room and hadn’t even had a sip of water yet.


    Fan Qidao’s Office.

    “Damn, amazing, mind-blowing, once in a lifetime…”

    Fan Qidao held the report in his hand, shaking his head in excitement, his face full of awe.

    “Speak human.”

    Finally, the normally stoic Shen Ci furrowed his brows, his expression betraying a trace of nervousness and impatience.

    “Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Fan Qidao shot Shen Ci a mischievous glance, waving the report in his hand. “I’ve been alive for almost 30 years, and I used to think that seeing one person’s pheromones change twice was already unprecedented. But I never thought I’d see a second one—let alone from a married couple.”

    After saying that, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and wore an expression of deep satisfaction. “The miracles of medicine just keep finding me. Maybe I’m destined to be a witness to legends.”

    Shen Ci narrowed his eyes, finally losing his patience. He abruptly snatched the pheromone detection reports of both himself and Yan Yuzhou from Fan Qidao’s hand and began scrutinizing them, one item at a time, his gaze growing increasingly intense.

    Name: Shen Ci
    Gender: Alpha
    Pheromone: Scorching Sun…

    “Scorching… Sun?” Shen Ci repeated the words in confusion, looking at Fan Qidao, who was grinning like a Cheshire cat.

    Fan Qidao nodded affirmatively. “You read it right. Congratulations, President Shen—your pheromones have mutated.”

    He pointed at the report in Shen Ci’s hand. “Keep reading.”

    Shen Ci nodded and continued, but suddenly, his gaze stopped on a particular line, unable to move away for a long while.

    His eyes darkened, filled with a swirl of complex emotions—joy, surprise, and a sense of relief after narrowly escaping a catastrophe.

    Fan Qidao chuckled contentedly, leaning back comfortably. “You two are truly blessed. Scorching Sun and Rose—pheromone compatibility: one hundred percent.”

    “If this isn’t the power of love, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death.” Fan Qidao kept muttering to himself, “Damn, amazing, mind-blowing, once in a lifetime…”

    Suddenly, Shen Ci stood up without saying a word, grabbed the report, and walked out, his steps hurried. Fan Qidao raised an eyebrow, smiling knowingly—it was obvious that Shen Ci was heading straight to the ward to check on his omega.
