Chapter 19

Uncle Liu received a call from Shao Mingyu. The other party was explaining some things and as he just responded, he saw Yu Lan walked in.

Yu Lan saw that Uncle Liu was on the phone and wanted to wait aside, but he didn’t expect that after waiting for a while, Aunty Jiang came over again, wanting to say something.

Uncle Liu looked at the two suspiciously and asked distractedly, “Is there something going on?”

Aunty Jiang awkwardly said, “I have something I want to talk to Ah Lan about.”

Yu Lan pointed to himself, his face puzzled.

Aunty Jiang asked, “Ah Lan… have you used inhibitors?”

Yu Lan stiffened.

And the other end of Uncle Liu’s phone, the man immediately stopped talking and only the sound of breathing remained.

Uncle Liu also became dumbfounded.

Yu Lan lowered his head, and became nervous.

He thought that his use of an inhibitor would be discovered, but since there was no movement for several days, he had forgotten about it and did not expect it to be brought up at this time.

He pursed his lips, nodded, and admitted his mistake. “…I’m sorry.”

“No, no.” Aunty Jiang only softly said, “When was it used?”

Yu Lan whispered, “… A week ago.”

Uncle Liu noticed that the man on the other end of the phone was silent. Thinking this was going to be bad, he hurriedly asked, “Why? Didn’t the doctor say to only use it once a month? Did you go into estrus a week ago? Were you outside when it happened?”

Outside, Mr Shao is not there, but the problem of his estrus must be solved immediately, so he used an inhibitor as a last resort. This wasn’t incomprehensible.

However, Aunty Jiang cast a look at Uncle Liu.

She found that one of the inhibitors was missing in the medical kit.

Just in case, they did have Yu Lan carry an inhibitor with him every day, but if Yu Lan was in heat outside and used up an inhibitor, there wouldn’t be one less in the medical kit.

Yu Lan kept silent, but gave them an answer.

The living room was quiet for a moment.

In the past month, today was the first time Shao Mingyu had not returned home. He usually came back early on the weekdays.

Yu Lan was in estrus at home, but instead of turning to Mr Shao for help, he chose to use inhibitors secretly.

And apparently, he handled it silently so that they would not find out.

What could be the reason for this?

Did he not want Mr Shao to temporarily mark him?

They always thought that the relationship between Yu Lan and Mr Shao should be very good, but now this came out…

Uncle Liu had a little headache. He did not understand how Yu Lan suddenly thought to this. When he was about to speak, he saw Yu Lan flushed and he said in a low voice, “I-I have something to do with my friend. I need to go over immediately. When I come back… is it okay to talk about this matter then?”

Uncle Liu choked a little, sighed and said, “Go… Hey wait, what’s the matter, can you go alone?”

Yu lan nodded then ran off, like he was trying to escape.

This child.

Uncle Liu paused and said cautiously to the person on the other end of the phone, “Mr Shao, did you hear everything?”

The man was silent for a moment and said, “The things are the ones I just told you, I still have things to do here, I’ll hang up first.”

Uncle Liu, “Oh, alright.”

Aunty Jiang was taken aback and waited for Uncle Liu to hang up the phone and asked, “You were on the phone with Mr Shao? Did he hear everything?”

Uncle Liu nodded his head, helpless.

Yu Lan’s heart was in turmoil.

He scratched his glands that itched up again, called the driver and sent the location that Yu Yi had sent him.

He didn’t know what that place was, but he didn’t care at the moment, all he could think about was the inhibitor.

Uncle Liu and Aunty Jiang know. Mr Shao will soon know too.

Yu Lan didn’t know how Mr Shao would react.

He knew exactly how much that man cared for him, just like Uncle Liu and Aunty Jiang. He shouldn’t have disobeyed the doctor’s advice to use inhibitors indiscriminately, but he was still a little reluctant to think about his estrus period.

When Mr Shao asks him, how should he answer?

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and told himself to calm down.

Forget about it for now, first think about how to solve Yu Yi’s matter.

The neighboring star, on the top floor of a certain hotel.

A man in a suit was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Not long after, a man with eyebrows somewhat similar to his but a bit older came over and frowned. “What are you spacing out here for?”

Shao Mingyu looked at the night scene outside the window with a calm expression.

The person who came was none other than Shao Mingyu’s father Shao Jing, who looked back at the venue and said, “Let’s go and meet a few more people interested in the energy project. You want to focus on developing this piece next too, right?”

Shao Mingyu turned around and said, “I’ll go first.”

Shao Jing was caught off guard. “What? Leaving so early? What are you doing?”

Shao Mingyu put down his glass and lightly said, “There’s something going on at home.”

“What could be going on at your house? Don’t you have a housekeeper there?” Shao Jing was a bit dissatisfied. “Let’s talk after meeting those people!”

Shao Mingyu glanced over and said, “I’ve made an appointment with them for next week to discuss about it in detail.”

“You-” Shao Jing didn’t expect him to handle it all, his expression stiffened.

To be honest, the reason why he wanted to keep his eldest son who left him at an early age due to the couple’s divorce was because he needed each other’s help more than anything else. It was humiliating to say, yet it was also true that Shao Mingyu had great achievements at such a young age that even the magnificent Shao family is overshadowed by its light.

Shao Jing while feeling humiliated, actually felt quite proud.

However, the father-son relationship had long since dissipated, which was why he couldn’t even keep this person.

“Just treat it as doing me a favor.” Shao Jing lowered his voice, “Wait a bit before you go.”

“Dad.” Shao Mingyu turned his head, looked straight at Shao Jing, and slowly said, “It’s something important.”

Shao Jing couldn’t figure out what was so important that he had to let Shao Mingyu leave in the middle of such an important cocktail party?!

A few moments later, Shao Mingyu got on the aircraft.

The driver asked from the front seat, “Mr Shao, are you going back to the manor?”

Shao Mingyu was silent for a moment and sent a message out.

Two hours had passed by the time Yu Lan arrived at the location sent by Yu Yi.

During the period he could not get through to Yu Yi’s phone and did not know what was going on.

“Mr Yu, this seems to be a club.” The driver hesitantly reminded.

It was dazzling, but he had not heard of it, so it may be newly opened.

Yu Lan also did not know what a “club” was. Just a glance at the place made him feel quite intoxicated.

After thinking about it, he said to the driver, “I’m going to bring a friend out later, is it okay if you come in with me?”

The driver was an alpha and he also doubled as a bodyguard. Yu Lan felt that it was a bit safer to let the driver follow him just in case.

The driver naturally nodded. If something happen to Mr Yu, Mr Shao’s side would be even more terrifying.

The two went in and were immediately greeted by someone with a smile. The strange thing was that Yu Lan clearly didn’t say who he was looking for, but the other just said, “Please come with me.”

Yu Lan and the driver looked at each other.

The driver was a bit torn, feeling as if he should stop the youth from continuing in, because it felt a bit wrong, but the youth had already followed.

He thought about it and sent a message.

Just now, he had already sent their location as requested by Mr Shao. This time after sending this message, the driver stuffed the phone into his pants pocket and followed in stride.

Yu Lan followed the person to a booth on the second floor. The door opened and noisy sounds accompanied by the smell of smoke, alpha pheromones and omega pheromones came out.

Yu Lan frowned and took a step back.

And a male voice inside lazily said, “Ah, he finally came.”
