PE Ch21: You Alphas are really strong

“Are you and Jian Yan sleeping together?” Huai Yu’s slow tone made it seem like each word was squeezed out through clenched teeth.

Pan Yinchuan quickly clarified: “Not together, one on the bed, one on the floor.”

Huai Yu sneered: “Is there a difference?”

Pan Yinchuan thought there was a big difference! At least they weren’t sharing a blanket.

He had to remind Huai Yu: “Didn’t you assign Assistant Jian to keep an eye on me?”

Huai Yu grabbed Pan Yinchuan’s chin and said in a low voice, “Yes, to keep an eye on you, so you don’t cheat on me.”

He was currently very satisfied with Pan Yinchuan and didn’t want him to do anything inappropriate, so Jian Yan’s surveillance became very necessary.

But he didn’t expect Pan Yinchuan to be aware of this.

“I don’t have such capabilities,” Pan Yinchuan mumbled softly.

Huai Yu had no intention of delving deeper into this issue and directly changed the subject, saying, “Let Jian Yan sleep in another room.”

“Our house isn’t that big,” Pan Yinchuan tried to depict a realistic scenario.

Huai Yu: “…” “Then let him sleep on the couch.”

“Assistant Jian is a guest. If we let him sleep on the couch, my parents will get suspicious.”

“This won’t work, that won’t work…” Huai Yu’s face suddenly approached, and even with the inhibitor, Pan Yinchuan could faintly feel the oppressive presence of his pheromones.

Pan Yinchuan felt innocent, thinking it wasn’t his fault.

“Don’t go home for dinner tonight,” Huai Yu’s strong fingers were already on Pan Yinchuan’s waist. The waistband of his work pants was loose, and a slight pull would lead directly to the skin underneath.

To fight for his reasonable rights, Pan Yinchuan quickly said, “How about I sleep on the couch?”

“And let Jian Yan sleep in your bed?”

“Assistant Jian has been sleeping in my bed.”

“……”

Huai Yu seemed to laugh angrily: “So you sleep on the floor.”

“Assistant Jian is a guest after all…”

“What about me? If I go to your house…”

“You won’t go to my house.”

Huai Yu was momentarily silent, then almost unreasonably said, “Just stay at the hotel, no need to go back.”

“What about my parents…”

“You can visit them during the day.”

“How do I explain that to them?” Pan Yinchuan frowned.

“Say you’re working.”

“Going out every night for work doesn’t sound very proper…”

“Not proper?” Huai Yu’s voice lost its oppressive tone and became casual.

— He had already pulled down Pan Yinchuan’s pants halfway.

Pan Yinchuan’s hand fumbled in the dark, barely grabbing Huai Yu’s fingers: “What if… someone comes?”

“They won’t.” Huai Yu’s tone was certain, but then he paused and asked softly, “Or do you want someone to come?”

“No! I don’t want that!” Pan Yinchuan emphasized even more firmly.

Huai Yu’s mood improved a bit. He raised his hand and flipped Pan Yinchuan’s T-shirt over, tying his hands with it.

In this forced, fully exposed position, Pan Yinchuan faced Huai Yu’s intense advances.

“Uh… it’ll… make this place dirty…”

“Then be careful not to slip.”

Huai Yu pressed down on his waist, pushing him deeper into his embrace.

In the cinema, time seemed to blur without sunlight. Maybe because of the ongoing banquet, Pan Yinchuan was eventually spared.

“Can you stand?” Huai Yu asked.

Pan Yinchuan uttered a tired “yes.”

Only then did Huai Yu release him.

Pan Yinchuan felt his legs give way, and looking down, he saw Huai Yu’s suit jacket on the floor, conveniently cushioning his feet.

“Your clothes are dirty,” Pan Yinchuan said softly.

Huai Yu’s tone was indifferent: “My pants are dirty too.” He paused, looking at Pan Yinchuan, “You made them dirty.”

Hearing this, Pan Yinchuan instinctively lowered his gaze… it was indeed wet. He felt a bit burned and quickly looked away.

Huai Yu got up from the sofa and helped Pan Yinchuan put his T-shirt back on.

Huai Yu never served others, but helping Pan Yinchuan dress gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.

So he was interested and pinned Pan Yinchuan down, dressing him completely.

After Pan Yinchuan was dressed, Huai Yu called someone to bring a new suit.

“Sir, your items have arrived,” the bodyguard knocked on the door.

As Huai Yu was about to respond, Pan Yinchuan suddenly hugged him again.

Huai Yu paused, then in a low, dangerous voice, asked, “Don’t you want to walk?”

Pan Yinchuan kissed his chin: “I want to go home tonight.”

Huai Yu understood.

He was trying to please him.

“…Then go home.” Huai Yu relented.

Pan Yinchuan thought that as long as he was willing to offer his butt, Mr. Huai was easy to placate!

In the banquet hall, the governor asked Assistant Zhang, “Where’s Mr. Huai?”

Assistant Zhang retorted, “Do you expect Mr. Huai to stay here endorsing you all the time?”

“No, no,” the governor quickly dropped the subject.

The banquet lasted a long time, and when Huai Yu reappeared, he had changed into a new suit.

Meanwhile, Pan Yinchuan was escorted out of the hotel by bodyguards. Apart from a slightly wrinkled shirt, he looked clean and neat.

“Your car is here,” the bodyguard opened the door for him.

Pan Yinchuan turned and asked in surprise, “Isn’t Assistant Jian coming with me?”

The bodyguard said, “I’ll accompany you.”

Pan Yinchuan fell silent… Mr. Huai’s possessiveness was stronger than he had imagined.

“Please get in,” the bodyguard urged.

Pan Yinchuan thought for a moment and said nothing. In fact, Assistant Jian should be closer to Mr. Huai. If he asked about Jian Yan’s situation now, it might have the opposite effect.

“How should I introduce you?”

“Just say I’m a friend.”

Half an hour later, Pan Yinchuan arrived home.

Pan Yueshan and his wife hurriedly came to open the door and poked their heads out: “…Where is Xiao Jian? Didn’t he come back with you? And who is this?”

Pan Yinchuan braced himself and said, “My friend.”

The bodyguard took the initiative to introduce himself, “I met Xiao Pan in Nanta City when we were both trapped in a POW camp.”

“Oh, oh, oh! So you’re friends who have shared hardships. Come in, come in.” Pan Yueshan ushered them inside.

Lao Yu was still at Pan’s house. Seeing another stranger suddenly appear, his face changed immediately.

…What exactly is Pan Yinchuan up to?

This time, the visitor was an Alpha.

This Alpha’s pheromones were faint, seemingly specially suppressed.

But Lao Yu’s eyes were sharp. He could see at a glance that this person had a military bearing.

Unlike the previous Beta surnamed Jian, who claimed to be from a military school, this person came directly from the military. How could such a person end up in a POW camp?

Wang Xiu was still asking, “Then Xiao Jian…”

“He is staying at a friend’s house,” the bodyguard answered.

“Oh, Xiao Chuan, is your friend also staying here tonight?” Wang Xiu asked Pan Yinchuan.

“I’ll sleep on the couch,” the bodyguard smiled slightly, “I am not used to sharing a room with others. Besides, I’m an Alpha, Xiao Pan might not be able to handle my pheromones.”

Wang Xiu opened her mouth, then closed it.

This kid was quite familiar, already arranging things for himself.

“I’m going to take a shower,” Pan Yinchuan said and quickly headed into the bathroom.

The bodyguard was very sociable, turning to chat with Pan Yueshan and his wife.

At night, Lao Yu was sent away.

Pan Yueshan stood behind the bedroom door, cautiously peeking at the Alpha lying on the couch, then turned around and said to Wang Xiu, “Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“Yes, strange.”

“But what’s strange about it?”

“Yes, what is it?”

The couple both fell silent.

Hotel.

Jian Yan stood in front of Huai Yu, his blood rushing through every vein, his back cold but his chest burning.

“Over the past two days, staying by Pan Yinchuan’s side, what have you seen and heard? Speak up,” Huai Yu asked without looking up from the book in front of him.

Jian Yan suppressed his excitement and first mentioned Brother Jiu and Lao Yu from that day.

“Well, it seems that Lao Yu has some issues. Didn’t Pan Yueshan and his wife notice?”

“No.”

“Which gang does Brother Jiu belong to?”

“Qinglong Association.”

Huai Yu opened the drawer beside him and took out a list. Qinglong Association was listed in the middle. He tapped it with his finger, “Then let’s start this sweep from them.”

“Yes,” replied Assistant Zhang.

“Zhang Xing, Jian Yan was evaluated by you. What do you think of him?” Huai Yu suddenly asked.

Assistant Zhang pursed his lips.

Jian Yan quietly clenched his hand. Although he had vaguely anticipated this question since Pan Yinchuan was taken away by the bodyguard, he still felt breathless when it actually came.

“Jian Yan is very capable, but…”

“But what?”

Assistant Zhang thought, it’s not that I don’t want to cover for you, but it’s obvious enough that even the boss noticed.

Assistant Zhang lowered his head and said, “Jian Yan is not very good at handling emotional issues.”

Jian Yan suddenly spoke up, “Yes, my admiration for the boss remains unchanged, leading me to envy everything Pan Yinchuan has.”

Assistant Zhang looked at him in confusion.

Jian Yan’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression was firm.

He couldn’t explain the thoughts flying through his mind at this moment; he just instinctively, urgently wanted to hide those…

Those strange, secret desires.

He didn’t want anyone to know he had such a photo hidden in his phone.

“Envious enough to make Pan Yinchuan sleep on the floor while you took his bed?” Huai Yu’s gaze darkened, carrying a hint of scrutiny and suspicion.

“…Yes.”

There was a logical inconsistency.

Huai Yu closed his book, speaking coldly, “If everyone around me in the future arouses your jealousy, you should transfer early.”

Everyone around him in the future…

Jian Yan thought of Otis and another Beta whose name he still didn’t know.

Would they replace him in the future?

A sudden thought struck Jian Yan—if that day came, would Pan Yinchuan cry?

At that moment, he almost vividly imagined Pan Yinchuan crying.

Huai Yu took in Jian Yan’s changing expression and suddenly said, “Send him back to Haigu.”

Jian Yan hurriedly said, “It’s just that you are too kind to Pan Yinchuan, and you only like him… If there were actually more people around you, I might not be so jealous. Because then no one would be special.”

Huai Yu looked at him without speaking.

It was as if he wanted to peel off his skin and see what was really inside his heart.

“I don’t like being too cruel to those I’ve spent money to train. You have one last chance. Leave.”

Jian Yan breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and walked out.

Huai Yu’s voice sounded again, but it was directed at the bodyguard, “Bring Qin Weiwen over.”

Jian Yan had already stepped out into the corridor. He didn’t rush downstairs but stood there waiting for a while.

The elevator dinged, and the bodyguard led in the refined, elegant Beta sent by Yan Xue.

So his name was Qin Weiwen.

Qin Weiwen was no longer confined to white shirts and black pants. He wore a white T-shirt under a khaki vest, with pants tucked into short boots, highlighting his waist-to-hip ratio and upright posture.

Jian Yan was stunned.

Mr. Huai really intended to keep another person by his side?

Obviously, Qin Weiwen had been selected.

Without thinking, Jian Yan took out his phone and immediately sent a message to Pan Yinchuan: [The Beta that Major Yan sent has slept with Mr. Huai.]

How would Pan Yinchuan react?

Jian Yan was eager to rush over and see.

He suppressed his inner impulse…

At this moment, a cold voice sounded above him: “Who are you texting? Pan Yinchuan?”

Jian Yan looked up.

Huai Yu didn’t know when he had already stood in front of him, looking down at him with an extremely cold gaze.

This time there was no scrutiny.

Because Mr. Huai seemed to have already gotten the answer he wanted.

Jian Yan felt a chill all over, gripping his phone tighter and tighter.

By this time, Pan Yinchuan was already asleep.

After the hassle of the day, how could he not sleep well at night?

The phone suddenly dinged, waking him up.

He groggily reached for his phone, turned on the screen, slowly opened his eyes in the dark, glanced at it, and then closed his eyes again.

…Alpha kidneys are really strong.

He thought.
