MWITA CH85
This came so suddenly that Song Yu was completely unprepared and stunned by the kiss.
Being so close, Song Yu could clearly see the triumphant smile in Rong Shi’s eyes. His gaze flickered, ready to kiss back, but the other person retreated.
Rong Shi contentedly patted his head and turned to leave.
“I’m going to brush my teeth.”
His fingertips brushed the spot on his lips where he’d been bitten. It felt as if Rong Shi’s touch and warmth still lingered.
Song Yu frowned.
Who’s the one using and then discarding here?!
In the bathroom, Rong Shi was brushing his teeth. Out of the corner of his eye, through the mirror, he saw Song Yu striding in aggressively.
He had a bad feeling. As he turned, Song Yu pinned him against the sink.
Without a word, Song Yu hooked his chin, ready for a forceful kiss.
Rong Shi, holding his toothbrush, his mouth full of foam, tried hard to dodge backward.
“I haven’t finished brushing my teeth.”
Song Yu: “I don’t care.”
Rong Shi: “…”
Seeing his strong resistance, Song Yu simply grabbed his face and pushed him forcefully towards himself.
“Using and then discarding, flirting and then running away—you have quite a few skills, don’t you?”
Rong Shi tilted his head, dodging: “Aren’t you talking about yourself?”
Song Yu: “At least I confessed before I kissed, unlike some people who just act like perverts.”
Rong Shi: “Does 0.1 seconds count as ‘before’?”
Song Yu: “Of course it does.”
Just as Rong Shi was about to retort, a bubble suddenly popped out of his mouth.
The bubble floated unsteadily, touched Song Yu’s nose, and burst.
Rong Shi: “…”
Song Yu: “…”
The air was silent for a moment. Rong Shi couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle: “Can you let me finish brushing my teeth first?”
Song Yu released his hands. When Rong Shi turned, he couldn’t help but hug him from behind, looking at their reflection in the mirror and smiling.
“Hey, would it kill you to say you like me?”
Rong Shi rinsed his mouth with water.
“You know already.”
Song Yu: “…” Damn it.
As soon as Rong Shi finished dressing, a knock came at the door. It was the Qin family’s butler.
The butler smiled politely: “Lunch has been prepared. Please come to the main building to dine.”
Song Yu’s face was cold. He didn’t even look at the butler, striding out with his long legs.
Rong Shi nodded to the butler: “Thank you for your trouble.”
The butler led them towards the dining room, secretly observing their expressions.
The two said nothing the entire way, especially Song Yu, who seemed to be in a very bad mood.
Upon reaching the dining room, Qin Zhao and Lin Jing were already present, greeting other guests.
Seeing Song Yu enter, they immediately went to greet him. After all, Song Yu was royalty.
Qin Zhao casually asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Song Yu’s face darkened. His gaze swept over Qin Zhao and Lin Jing. His tone was sarcastic: “Whether I slept well or not, don’t you both know perfectly well?”
Qin Zhao’s smile froze, his expression changed, and he probed: “What do you mean by that?”
Song Yu, however, offered no further explanation and walked directly to the dining table to sit down.
During their conversation, Rong Shi kept an eye on Lin Jing’s expression.
Compared to Qin Zhao, he was more composed.
The people who had stayed overnight just filled the dining table. Qin Zhao motioned for the butler to serve the food.
Song Yu’s wine glass was heavily placed back on the table, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
He said coldly: “Anyone who knocked on my door last night, step forward voluntarily.”
The others exchanged glances.
Qin Luo had drunk late with Liu Hong and the others last night and slept until morning, completely unaware of what had happened.
Seeing Song Yu’s expression and tone, his heart sank.
Were these Omegas crazy? How dare they be so brazen even in someone else’s house?
Everyone present was a prominent figure from the upper echelles. In this situation, any Omega who dared to stand up would be admitting to actively seducing an Alpha in the middle of the night, and a married Alpha at that. This was not something glorious.
Song Yu’s voice grew colder: “I’m giving you a chance to step down. Don’t blame me for being impolite.”
The main courses hadn’t even been served, but the atmosphere at the dining table had already dropped to freezing point.
Lin Jing said softly: “Everyone was very drunk last night and needed help getting back to their rooms. No one should have disturbed your rest. Is there some misunderstanding?”
Hearing him say this, the others also chimed in.
“Yeah, were you so drunk you had hallucinations?”
“Could someone have knocked on the wrong door?”
“Right, I forgot how I even got back to my room last night.”
“A dozen in a row all knocked on the wrong door?” Song Yu’s gaze swept over the row of Omegas opposite him. “No one should be unaware that I have a partner. Knowing I’m married and still using pheromones to seduce me in the middle of the night—are you harboring ulterior motives?”
He deliberately emphasized the last four words.
Sure enough, several Omegas’ faces turned pale, and their gazes unconsciously darted towards Lin Jing.
Lin Jing smiled calmly: “Everyone here is a young master or young lady from a prominent family, privileged individuals. It’s impossible for them to do such a thing.”
Song Yu’s gaze shifted to him: “On what grounds are you answering for them? Did I give you permission to speak?”
His aggressive tone made the atmosphere at the dining table even more tense.
Lin Jing’s hand on the armrest tightened, a flash of ferocity crossing his eyes.
Qin Zhao’s face was grim: “Once someone enters my home, they are honored guests. Before the truth is clarified, as the host, I naturally have the obligation to protect them.”
Song Yu sneered: “Since that’s the case, then we can only quickly get to the bottom of this.”
He opened his terminal and made a call.
Under everyone’s gaze, the face of the Holy Virtue District Guard Captain appeared on the virtual screen.
Song Yu said nonchalantly: “Someone here is trying to harm me. Send people over immediately.”
The captain’s face changed: “Yes, sir!”
He’s going to arrest people without a word?! The people at the table were flustered, completely confused about what had happened last night.
He Nian sat diagonally opposite Song Yu, secretly gritting his teeth, his mind quickly strategizing.
As long as they checked the surveillance, they’d know who knocked on the doors. Given Song Yu’s personality, he’d do anything when angered.
Now, he could only destroy the surveillance and take it one step at a time.
“He was here last night.”
Rong Shi’s voice suddenly rang out. He Nian subconsciously looked over and saw him pointing at He Nian, saying: “He even released pheromones.”
He Nian’s heart sank, and his mind exploded with a boom.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the subtle looks from others. He quickly defended himself: “I just went to see if he was unwell or needed hangover medicine! I absolutely did not release pheromones. Please don’t talk nonsense!”
Rong Shi was about to say something more, but Song Yu interrupted him.
“He’s different from the others,” Song Yu’s face softened. “I trust him.”
Rong Shi: “But—”
Song Yu’s tone was impatient: “Don’t make me say it a second time.”
Rong Shi frowned, turning his head unhappily.
The others watched their interaction, their thoughts varied.
Given Song Yu’s current situation, whether it was an act or genuine, to ensure his safety, he had to be tied to Rong Shi.
But now, he was actually turning against Rong Shi to defend He Nian, even disregarding their superficial affection.
It seemed He Nian held an unusual place in Song Yu’s heart.
Song Yu’s words made He Nian’s anxious heart settle.
It seemed his previous efforts hadn’t been entirely in vain. At least, Song Yu had some trust in him.
While Rong Shi and Song Yu maintained a cold facade and had a public spat, their hands, hidden under the table, were mischievously intertwined, playing a childish game of tag.
The guard team arrived quickly.
Song Yu raised his chin towards He Nian and said to them: “Except for this one, take all the other Omegas back. Retrieve last night’s surveillance footage, and investigate everyone who appears in it thoroughly.”
“Yes, sir!” The Guard Captain waved his hand. Regardless of whether they were nobles or grand nobles, all were brought under control: “Please cooperate with the investigation.”
Although they often saw the guard team, none of the Omegas present had ever been arrested.
Facing these tall guard soldiers, their faces were pale, and their hearts trembled.
An Omega, just before being restrained by a guard soldier, shouted: “I just went to see if Song Yu was unwell! I didn’t mean any harm!”
Song Yu scoffed lightly: “I asked you to speak just now, and you didn’t. Now, I don’t believe you.”
“I haven’t broken the law! Why are you arresting me?!”
The Guard Captain: “We’re just asking you to cooperate with the investigation. If there’s no problem, you’ll be released soon.”
“I don’t want to!”
“If this gets out, how will I ever recover?!”
“I want to contact my dad!”
The scene was chaotic. Only Chen Chen and the others ate happily.
Lin Jing gritted his teeth, thinking of a countermeasure.
He hadn’t expected Song Yu’s reaction to be so extreme.
Omega pheromones, regardless of compatibility, naturally had a strong attraction for Alphas.
Even being knocked on the door by an Omega in the middle of the night and smelling pheromones shouldn’t provoke such a huge temper.
This matter absolutely couldn’t be blown out of proportion!
Lin Jing stood up and walked over, whispering to Song Yu: “They might like you too much and were drunk. They were temporarily confused and couldn’t help themselves. If this gets out, it will harm the Omegas’ reputations. How about you give me some face, let them apologize to you, and we’ll let this matter go?”
“What are you?” Song Yu reluctantly released Rong Shi’s hand, sneering, “I was almost harmed in your house, and I haven’t even settled that with you yet, and you’re already trying to curry favor?”
Lin Jing’s face instantly darkened.
“It was just an Omega who was too drunk and knocked on your door. How did it become so serious in your mouth?”
Song Yu: “There are countless cases of using pheromones for assassination. Do I need to list them one by one?”
Song Yu’s decisions were always unquestionable.
All the Omegas were controlled and led to the guard team’s vehicle.
No longer in the mood to eat, Song Yu prepared to leave with them.
Before leaving, he tilted his head to look at He Nian, his gaze softening.
“I’ll find you when I’m free. We haven’t had a good reunion yet.”
He Nian’s face stiffened as he agreed.
As soon as Song Yu left, Rong Shi followed.
Qin Luo, Chen Chen, and a few others, having eaten their fill, casually patted their backsides and left as well.
After such a commotion, who could still eat? The people at the table left one after another, citing excuses.
Qin Zhao slammed his fist on the table, his face grim.
No matter how down and out Song Yu was, he was still royalty. Even if they fought in private, they could only obey on the surface.
Lin Jing gave He Nian a look, and the two left the dining room one after another, walking to a corner of the garden.
As soon as they stopped, He Nian’s face was slapped, turning his head sideways.
Lin Jing: “You said you weren’t discovered?!”
He Nian pushed his cheek with his tongue, his face burning.
“Indeed not discovered. Song Yu is like this only because his vigilance is too high.”
If the plan had succeeded, Song Yu would have already been controlled, and this situation wouldn’t have occurred at all.
Even if it didn’t succeed, this kind of thing wasn’t in the category of illegal acts, so it wouldn’t cause a major stir.
But who would have thought that Song Yu would latch onto the possibility of assassination and take everyone away!
What if pheromones were detected—
“Impossible.” He Nian’s eyes were half-closed, his gaze sinister. “The pheromone matching system has long been sealed. He won’t think in that direction.”
The guard team’s vehicle drove halfway when Song Yu pulled Rong Shi out of the car.
Song Yu: “I’ll leave them to you. Interrogate them well.”
Captain: “Yes, sir.”
Rong Shi deliberately asked: “Aren’t you coming to check on the situation?”
Song Yu smiled meaningfully: “What’s there to see? Lin Jing didn’t give me any face, so of course, I have to make him lose some face too.”
The two walked away as they spoke.
Inside the car, the Omegas who heard the conversation exchanged glances, secretly relieved.
So he just used them as scapegoats?
Song Yu sent a message to Qin Luo, then, with Rong Shi, boarded the pre-arranged hover car and drove towards the Holy Martial District.
Rong Shi: “Where are we going?”
Song Yu set the navigation: “My place.”
Rong Shi tilted his head to look at him: “Your place?”
Song Yu: “The house I bought.”
Inside the palace, Song Ke received the information from the Qin mansion immediately.
“He cares a lot about He Nian?” Song Ke asked, frowning.
The special assistant’s face was serious: “Yes. He even disregarded his disguise. They seem to have been online friends for many years. The subordinates are still verifying this, but their relationship was very good during the league. This is quite rare for the Second Prince.”
Recalling the events during the league, Song Ke clenched his wine glass, then angrily slammed it to the ground.
“He absolutely cannot get involved with He Nian!”
Using Rong Shi as a cover, and secretly interacting with the person he truly likes.
Does he think that this will confuse me? Too naive!
The special assistant: “He Nian is from a prominent noble family. Although his family doesn’t have great power, it’s still a considerable asset. If this gets out, I’m afraid many people will switch their allegiance to the Second Prince again.”
Song Ke’s face darkened, then after a moment, he smiled.
“They’re all my leftovers. It won’t be hard to stop him, will it? If I get him pregnant with my child, he won’t be able to run away, will he?”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this idea was brilliant.
Firstly, it could strike a blow to Song Yu. The person he liked most would be pregnant with his rival’s child. No Alpha could stand that.
Secondly, it could block his retreat, leaving him no way to recover.
The house Song Yu bought was located in a sea of flowers. It was very large, fitting his “god of wealth” demeanor.
Rong Shi opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards the house while admiring the landscaping.
“Are you so sure He Nian and Song Ke aren’t working together?” Rong Shi asked.
Inside the house, Song Yu hooked his arm around Rong Shi’s shoulder, smiling: “Definitely. That idiot Song Ke only wants me dead. He wouldn’t use such a roundabout method.”
Rong Shi’s lips curved slightly upwards: “So you’re letting them fight among themselves?”
Song Yu: “Don’t you think they’re a good match?”
Rong Shi thought for a moment and nodded.
“Indeed, a good match.”
Song Yu: “They’re both too busy to bother us for now. We have at least a full day of free time.”
Rong Shi: “Oh.”
Song Yu: “What’s with the cold reaction?”
Rong Shi tilted his head to look at him: “What do you want to say?”
Song Yu rested his chin on Rong Shi’s shoulder, chuckling softly: “It’s just the two of us here. I have a whole day to listen to your slow confession.”
Rong Shi: “…”

After a day of sitting still—
Song Cat rubs his paws: Is your confession draft ready? [Expectant]
Rong Bunny hands over a blank paper: How about you just beat me up instead?
Song Cat: …
