Apex Predator - Chapter 4

Shen Dai was taken off guard by what happened next since it happened so quickly.

First, You Xinghai’s lawyer arrived, signed various papers with him, and assisted him in transferring his home registration. He didn’t want to alter his surname, which You Xinghai didn’t mind. Overall, they are now legally acknowledged as father and son.

His omega father had already been abandoned by You Xinghai; when he brought Shen Dai to the You family, he was sent away by a single million. Nobody could have predicted that You Xinghai would require him to take the effort to identify his origins one day. Despite his revulsion, he had to drop his head for the money.

He received the money after completing the requirements. It seemed much more exhilarating to see the lengthy line of zeros on the check than when he generated a batch of outstanding experimental data.

He devised a strategy in his head. He will first repay his debts, leaving him with more than two million dollars. Although it was insufficient to purchase a home, it was sufficient for a down payment. His grandmother has health insurance and a pension, With his wage, he should be able to cover his medical bills, mortgage, and everyday costs. He instantly felt the wind was light, the clouds were clear, and the route to the future was wide without this heavy weight on his heart. He still needs to find out how to explain to his grandmother how he suddenly came into so much money. He resolved to keep his marriage a secret for as long as he could.

He had to take another half-day off the next day. He went to the marriage registration office with Qu Moyu early in the morning to take photographs, register, examine, and sign the documents. He could sense Qu Moyu’s dissatisfaction with these procedures. They arrived before it opened to avoid being captured by the media. Unfortunately, despite his wealth, Qu Moyu had to come personally.

Qu Moyu quickly departed after that.

Shen Dai was bewildered for a minute as he gazed at the tiny red book in his palm and the portrait of the two. He had no idea the type of person he would marry. He simply understood that he shouldn’t be pulling other people down in all those years of debt, so he turned off the concept of developing any sentiments. His Qu Moyu vision was like a piece of candy in his pocket. It’s enough to periodically taste the sweetness; after all, everyone needs a little placebo in their lives.

He stared at the two persons in the photo, one reserved and the other perfunctory, at this point. They didn’t even crack a smile. No one would think it was a marriage photo unless it had a red backdrop and was put on a red marriage certificate. However, in his eyes, Qu Moyu’s face sparkled, a face to which no candy or placebo could compare.
This individual represents a trail of light to him, allowing him to feel the brightness and warmth in the dark abyss. Twice, in fact. He saved him the first time he went into heat due to a setup. When all the alphas surrounding him were almost out of control, it was only Qu Moyu who calmed him down with his tremendous pheromone control and helped him avoid unfathomable consequences. The second time, it was as if he fell from the clouds without warning, rescuing him from his deep debt dilemma.

Shen Dai is a scientist, yet he can’t help but believe in fatalism right now. Is there a connection between him and Qu Moyu?

Lawyer Chen’s voice interrupted his thoughts. His marriage certificate was then taken away from him.

“All these things will be kept by me, you don’t have to worry about it,” Lawyer Chen said as he slid the tiny red book into his briefcase. There’s a vehicle outside that will drive you to President Qu’s mansion.”

“How about right now?” Shen Dai checked his watch. “I took only half a day off.”

“You are now President Qu’s wife,” lawyer Chen chuckled. Even if you take the other half of the day off, nothing will happen. I’ll wave you goodbye.” GrBq47

Shen Dai was uncomfortable with this term, and the sense of unreality that pervaded the entire situation never faded.

“There’s no need to worry,” Lawyer Chen said, looking at his phone screen, “this car will be assigned to you in the future and will be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off.”

“It’s not appropriate,” Shen Dai said, looking at Lawyer Chen. If such a car picks me up and drops me off, I won’t be able to explain it to my coworkers. It also violates confidentiality.”

“You can negotiate a better plan with President Qu’s housekeeper.”

“All right.”

The vehicle traveled beneath, and at the door stood a male beta with a head full of Argentum cream.

“Good day, Mr. Shen.” I work as the housekeeper here. You can address me as Uncle Heng. “I welcome you to my home.”

“Hello.” Shen Dai stared at the unsmiling guy in front of him and knew he didn’t want to “welcome” him.

After Lawyer Chen had departed, Uncle Heng brought Shen Dai upstairs and gave him a broad tour of the villa’s working parts. He felt like he was searching to purchase a house. While strolling, Uncle Heng introduced himself, stating clearly the boundaries of his existence here, such as “Your room is the southernmost one on the second floor and,” “The entire third floor is the young master’s private activity area.” Please do not go up without permission”, “You may dine in your room or the dining room. However, when I propose you eat in your chamber, it is because the young master does not want to be disturbed.” “The gym and swimming pool on the ground floor are available for use as long as the young master is not present.” Listening to her made him feel more like a hotel guest. After all, he couldn’t afford such a home and will only be staying here for a short time.

Uncle Heng eventually led Shen Dai into his chamber. Even though it was just a guest room, it was larger than many little residences. It had a bathroom, a walk-in closet, and all of the required living amenities and goods. He can live here without even bringing his suitcase if he only brings his physical body. He can even survive without leaving the house, which is exactly what Shen Dai desired.

“I don’t know what special preferences you have in life, but I prepared some in advance,” Uncle Heng replied. You can tell me if the fabric of the bed items is not comfy enough, if the bathroom products are not your favorite brand, or if the coffee does not taste good enough.”

“Thank you so much. Everything is in order.”

“You will go to work every day, according to the young master.” Do you have any preferences-…”

“Oh, that’s unnecessary. It is not appropriate for me to drive such a vehicle. I reside in the corporate dormitory most of the time; I can just take a cab.” Of course, Shen Dai is aware that this family would reject his incursion, an intrusion by a stranger. He is unable to bring it’s not required, he’ll strive to return as little as possible to make others resent him less.

“Okay, do you have any other requirements, eating habits, and the like?” Uncle Heng’s eyebrows raised slightly and he appeared shocked.”

“No, whatever,” Shen Dai said, “I’m going back to the company if there’s nothing else.”

Uncle Heng looked at Shen Dai again and questioned, “Do you have no requirements?”

“Um, not right now.” I’ll let you know if I come up with anything.” Esu8Lj

“Okay, I’ll see you out.”

They descended the stairs when they noticed Qu Moyu approaching the door.

Qu Moyu was noticeably shocked when he saw Shen Dai. He didn’t seem to comprehend why this man had shown up at his home, but he soon learned.

“Young master, why have you returned?”

“I awoke to early this morning.” “I came back for a rest because I happened to be near home right now,” Qu Moyu said, taking off his suit and handing it to Uncle Heng, “I already had lunch.” He removed his tie and stared at Shen Dai with interest.

“President Qu.” Shen Dai bowed slightly and dropped his gaze. Qu Moyu’s solitary action of removing his tie had the power to break people’s hearts; it was genuinely lethal.

“How’s the weather?”Qu Moyu inquired casually.

“It’s very good.”

“If you need something, just tell Uncle Heng.”

“OK, thank you,” Shen Dai said, “I’ll return to the company first.” I normally dwell at the company dormitory, so I won’t be a bother to you.”

“You’re going to live in the company dormitory?” Qu Moyu asked Shen Dai.”

“Yes, I…”

“We’ve already been married. Qu Moyu handed Uncle Heng his tie and strolled over to the sofa, saying, “Tea.”

Shen Dai paused for a time before walking gently to Qu Moyu’s side and standing aside like an employee here for a hearing. He is, in fact, an employee of Qu Moyu.

Uncle Heng brought over the tea and placed it on the coffee table before withdrawing to one side.

Qu Moyu sipped his tea gently, then laid his entire relaxed upper body on the leather sofa. He took out his phone and began scrolling through it. Simultaneously, he stated, “Although this is a collaboration, there are some things that need to be maintained for appearances, which you may not understand, but you can still do so, right?”

Shen Dai felt an unexplainable pressure. Even though Qu Moyu didn’t even glance at him, he responded, “Yes.”

“Are you unhappy with your living situation?” Or do you face any psychological obstacles?”

“No, everything is alright here. I’m just worried about upsetting you.”

“The house is very large, I believe you are a person with a sense of propriety and will not disturb me,” Qu Moyu abruptly stopped typing and looked up at Shen Dai, “Or perhaps you are afraid that I will ask you to fulfill some of the ‘obligations’ of a wife?”

Shen Dai could feel his face burning slightly. He sneaked a glimpse at Uncle Heng and found that he was standing there with a low stance and no emotion. He bowed his head, unsure how to respond.

“You can be confident that I have no other ‘needs’ from you aside from writing that contract.” You can live here comfortably.”

Qu Moyu’s final few remarks were courteous, yet every syllable was a smack in the face to Shen Dai. It was advice, a wake-up call, and a warning all rolled into one. He remembered the contract provision that said he couldn’t conceive President Qu’s kid without permission. Numerous individuals would wish to please a fortunate alpha such as Qu Moyu. It even went so far as to fire three workers in the first year after Qu Moyu took over the firm to cut off anyone’s indiscriminate demands. If Shen Dai says he’s frightened about what Qu Moyu could do to him, it’ll be a joke. Qu Moyu should be concerned about his hatching a conspiracy.

Qu Moyu will not allow an omega of ordinary origin with an ordinary pheromone level to become pregnant with the Qu family’s children. This is why he inserted this condition in the contract in plain and white.

He is not a moron. He was well aware that Qu Moyu would not touch him. He was extremely mortified to hear these cruel comments from someone he admired.
