Chapter 109: Long Time No See, Jin Sui

By -

A flicker of surprise passed through Chu Heting’s eyes as he stood in the private box.


He had caught Qin Chengyu’s Alpha scent earlier—an equal, evenly matched presence. 

It was the first time he had encountered something like this.


So that’s how it is.


Now he understood why Qin Zhuo had abruptly appointed Qin Chengyu as the Qin family’s new heir.


A premonition settled in his chest: 

Qin Chengyu would be an opponent he couldn’t afford to underestimate.


I was relieved when Qin Zhuo, in his shortsightedness, chose that fool Qin Chenglu. Yet in the end, Qin Chengyu emerged victorious.


Chu Heting snapped out of his thoughts and pulled out his phone, sending a quick message.


Qin Chengyu had only guessed half the truth. Beyond family politics, Chu Heting had another reason for opposing the Qin-Nian marriage—his foolish younger brother.


"Chu Hejun, if you don’t return now, Nian Jinsui will walk right into the Qin family’s arms."


With the warning sent, Chu Heting exhaled. The lingering aphrodisiac scent had left him distracted. It was time to find his darling.


Nian Jinsui stirred awake, a dull ache throbbing at the base of his neck. Memories flooded back—


He had been speaking with Chu Heting when someone struck him from behind, plunging him into darkness.


"A cheap ambush… Whoever did this won’t get away with it."


Gritting his teeth, he pushed himself upright—only to freeze. This wasn’t his room. The lavish furnishings rivaled the Nian family’s estate, but that wasn’t what concerned him most.


The mission. Had he completed it?


"Xiliu, did I succeed? It wasn’t Chu Heting who knocked me out, but the task only said ‘until I’m unconscious’—it never specified who."


[Host, rest assured. System evaluation confirms excellent performance—score: 90. Congratulations on mission completion!]


Nian Jinsui smirked, pleased at exploiting a loophole—never considering the system might have planned this all along.


Then, a wave of heat coursed through him. Right—he was still in estrus! The dose had been light, but he needed suppressants, fast.


He scrambled off the bed, spotting slippers by the footboard—identical to his own at home. A coincidence? No time to dwell. He slipped them on and hurried out.


An open door beckoned. Nian Jinsui stepped through, scanning the unfamiliar halls.


"Where am I…?" Given Chu Heting’s presence before blacking out—"The Chu family’s estate?"


"Do you truly wish to go to the Chu family?"


A voice—deep, familiar—sent a jolt down his spine. Before he could react, Qin Chengyu materialized before him.


"Jinsui. Long time no see."


Only a month had passed, yet it felt longer. Nian Jinsui had assumed their next meeting would be at their wedding—not like this, unprepared, the awkwardness of their last parting still lingering.


"Yes… we meet again." His voice was soft, gaze drifting.


Qin Chengyu had changed. The once-calm, indifferent eyes now burned with sharp intensity, his every movement exuding authority. No longer the overlooked second son—he carried himself like the Qin family’s rightful heir.


"Do you like it here?" Qin Chengyu’s lips curved, though the smile didn’t reach his eyes. "You’ll be living here from now on."


Nian Jinsui stiffened at the mention of marriage, feigning interest in the decor. "It’s nice. So this is the Qin family’s— Wait." His head snapped up. "You’re the one who knocked me out? Why?"


In the novel, Chu Heting had been the one to strike him. Yet here, Qin Chengyu had taken the role—without an ounce of remorse.


"I had my reasons." Qin Chengyu closed the distance between them, voice lowering. "Think back, Jinsui. Did you truly believe your words wouldn’t hurt me? If I’d listened any longer, I can’t say what I might’ve done."


Nian Jinsui faltered. What had he said?


Then it hit him—his declaration that he’d break off the engagement if Chu Heting accepted him.


Had Qin Chengyu heard that?


"You placate me with promises of marriage, then turn around and offer yourself to Chu Heting. Tell me, Jinsui—am I just a plaything to you, to be picked up and discarded at will?"


Another step closer. Nian Jinsui’s breath hitched at the proximity, his lashes fluttering.


"N-No, that’s not…" His protest was weak, gaze darting away.


Qin Chengyu chuckled darkly, disbelief hanging heavy between them.


Silence stretched. Nian Jinsui’s throat burned, his skin prickling with heat. Qin Chengyu’s scent—richer, more intoxicating than before—wrapped around him, urging him closer.


No. If this continued, he’d lose control.


Swallowing hard, he forced out the plea:


"Chengyu… do you have any suppressants? I’m in estrus—I can’t… I can’t think straight."

Chapter 1 The big fierce A turns into a vicious soft O

"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief.  He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance.  His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise.  Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

Chapter 2 I am not an Omega, I want to commit suicide!

By -
“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.”  Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver.  The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo.  His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

Chapter 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"   Qin Mu yun advised.  "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.  Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.  With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.   "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

By -
Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream.  In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly.  He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain.  Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met.  Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

By -
Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
