LABMY CH89.1

Lu Qianyun stared silently at the toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed on it and the cup filled with water on the sink.

It was indeed a good thing to be cared for by a partner, but after all, he was a man. Such meticulous care, down to squeezing toothpaste for him, made Lu Qianyun feel a bit uncomfortable. He felt as if he had become useless after just one night’s sleep.

And it was Jian Yuanbai who made him feel this way. This thought sent a chill down Lu Qianyun’s spine.

He didn’t reject Jian Yuanbai’s kindness. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he left the room.

Jian Yuanbai, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the sound and peeked out, just in time to see Lu Qianyun about to head downstairs. Jian Yuanbai quickly rushed over and carefully supported him, “Let me help you.”

Lu Qianyun: “…”

Looking at the step that was no more than 20 centimeters high, Lu Qianyun wanted to say something, but when he met Jian Yuanbai’s gaze, he couldn’t say a word.

When Jian Yuanbai looked at someone, he focused all his attention on them. In his deep eyes, there was only Lu Qianyun, filled with expectation and nervousness. It was truly difficult to refuse him.

This was also the reason why, time and time again, when receiving Jian Yuanbai’s “gifts,” Lu Qianyun couldn’t firmly reject him. He always felt that rejecting him would hurt his feelings.

Seeing Lu Qianyun staring at him blankly, Jian Yuanbai asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

He noticed that Lu Qianyun glanced at the step, and after thinking for a moment, Jian Yuanbai suddenly realized, “Do you want me to carry you down?”

“So delicate.”

It’s only the early stages of pregnancy, and he already wants to be carried downstairs. What about later? Would he have to carry him around all the time?

Half helpless and half sweet, Jian Yuanbai thought to himself. Despite calling him delicate, he sincerely picked Lu Qianyun up in a bridal carry and kissed him on the lips. “Let’s go, hubby. I’ll take you down.”

Lu Qianyun’s expression slowly changed. He closed his eyes, unable to bear it, and asked softly, “When will your susceptibility period end?”

He couldn’t take it anymore.

Jian Yuanbai was confused, “Huh?” Then he said, “My susceptibility period already ended.”

Lu Qianyun, being carried downstairs, felt the heavy care and turned his head to gently sniff the side of Jian Yuanbai’s neck.

The pheromones were calm and stable, as if the susceptibility period had indeed ended.

But when Jian Yuanbai carefully placed him on the sofa, ensuring his feet didn’t touch the ground, Lu Qianyun began to doubt his own senses.

He pulled Jian Yuanbai, who was about to leave, and patted the empty space next to him on the sofa, “Sit here.”

Jian Yuanbai didn’t understand, but he was now completely indulging Lu Qianyun. Whatever his “wife” said, he did.

After sitting down, he watched as Lu Qianyun leaned over, pressing half his body against Jian Yuanbai’s back, and gently rubbed the gland at the back of Jian Yuanbai’s neck with his nose.

Jian Yuanbai’s body instantly stiffened.

What was even worse was that after taking a deep sniff, Lu Qianyun paused and then stuck out his tongue to lightly lick the back of Jian Yuanbai’s neck. The damp warmth was felt vividly by Jian Yuanbai.

Jian Yuanbai abruptly stood up, not daring to look back. “The breakfast I ordered from Taotie Pavilion hasn’t been plated yet. Wait here.”

Then, he rushed into the kitchen, leaving Lu Qianyun sitting there, dumbfounded.

The pheromones were indeed stable, so was the susceptibility period really over or not?

Jian Yuanbai’s behavior made Lu Qianyun question the common sense that had been passed down for so many years.

In the kitchen, Jian Yuanbai slowly reached out to touch the back of his neck, but before he could, he withdrew his hand.

Lu Longlong’s needs were really intense. No wonder the plot later said he could go seven times a night. But now that he was here, he would satisfy his “wife.”

However… Jian Yuanbai sighed gloomily. Just not now.

In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus was unstable. How could they do such things?

He knew how badly his “wife” wanted it, even begging for intimacy as soon as he woke up.

Thinking of the soft, warm tongue just now, Jian Yuanbai felt his gland faintly heating up. But he could only hold back and make it up to Lu Longlong later.

He plated the food from the delivery box and brought it to the coffee table in front of the sofa, not bothering with the dining table.

Watching Lu Longlong eat breakfast bite by bite, Jian Yuanbai hesitated, struggling to speak.

After several attempts, he finally said cautiously, “You’ll have to endure for a while during this time.”

He held Lu Qianyun’s hand, “Wife… I’ll make it up to you later. Don’t worry.”

Seven times a night? He could make it ten!

Lu Qianyun, with a shrimp dumpling in his mouth, nodded and mumbled, “I know.”

Jian Yuanbai’s susceptibility period wasn’t over yet, so Lu Qianyun could only tolerate his strange behavior. It wasn’t too bad, just sometimes… it left him speechless.

His words, muffled by the shrimp dumpling, sounded like dissatisfaction in Jian Yuanbai’s ears. Jian Yuanbai measured his own stamina and felt he could go from dusk till dawn.

If that wasn’t enough…

Jian Yuanbai coughed awkwardly. Well, he had… other methods.

Both of them thought they were being honest and understood each other, but the result was worlds apart.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and both were satisfied. Lu Qianyun just wanted the susceptibility period to end, while Jian Yuanbai was already planning for ten rounds a night after the baby was born.

After breakfast, Jian Yuanbai called Tata to clean up. Halfway through, Tata ran out and said, “Jian, Li Wenshu is here.”

Tata’s system was connected to the entire estate, so it naturally knew when guests arrived.

Jian Yuanbai nodded, “Let him in.”

Li Wenshu walked in with a thick stack of documents and said directly, “Boss, I can’t wait anymore.”

Hearing this, Lu Qianyun curiously walked over. Jian Yuanbai quickly supported him, “Just tell me what you need, the floor is cold.”

Under Li Wenshu’s strange gaze, Lu Qianyun remained unfazed. He’d been through much worse.

Jian Yuanbai thought for a moment, then picked up Lu Qianyun in his arms and walked toward the study. “Come to my study.”

He placed Lu Qianyun in the largest and softest chair and stood nearby. “What’s the matter?”

Li Wenshu clicked his tongue in amazement and, instead of answering, asked, “Are you two really together?”

At the banquet, Li Wenshu had witnessed Jian Yuanbai hugging Lu Qianyun, thinking it was just a mistake due to the susceptibility period.

But now, things seemed off.

Jian Yuanbai didn’t hide it and proudly said, “Prepare your wedding gift. I’m getting married.”

Li Wenshu was surprised but accepted it. He joked, “Boss, I’m just a poor employee. A 200-star coin gift is enough, right?”

Jian Yuanbai gave him a once-over, making Li Wenshu feel uneasy. Then Jian Yuanbai said:

“Strange, you have no wife and no money?”

“Single for over forty years, no money, no wife. How pitiful,” Jian Yuanbai mocked with false sympathy.

Li Wenshu: “…”

He decided to really give Jian Yuanbai a red envelope with two hundred star coins; otherwise, it wouldn’t be enough to compensate for the two stab wounds he just endured.

Lu Qianyun couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He reached out and tugged on Jian Yuanbai’s sleeve, signaling him to stop. However, this simple action made Jian Yuanbai nervously squat down and look at him, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

His exaggerated reaction made Li Wenshu glance at the two of them repeatedly, leaving Lu Qianyun speechless under the strange atmosphere.

Jian Yuanbai was like a perpetual motion machine when it came to talking, while Li Wenshu and Lu Qianyun took turns falling into silence.

Seeing that Lu Qianyun didn’t respond, Jian Yuanbai became even more anxious, “Do you feel like throwing up?”

Lu Qianyun rubbed his temples and said, “I’m fine. Let’s talk about the important matter first.”

Li Wenshu, who had been momentarily distracted, finally remembered the purpose of his visit, “Boss, our school has received a large number of student enrollment forms.”

He emphasized, “A lot.”

Jian Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, “We have a school?”

Li Wenshu: “…… The ‘Fifty Years of Trash, Lie Down and Rot Academy’… You forgot about that?”

The person who came up with such a ridiculous name actually forgot about the school itself.

Jian Yuanbai patted Li Wenshu on the shoulder and spoke in a profound tone, “You don’t understand.”

Anyone who experienced having a wife, scoring a home run, and getting their wife pregnant all within two days would probably forget about a small, joke-like school.

However, after hearing Li Wenshu’s words, Jian Yuanbai was puzzled, “Are you sure these applications are for our school?”

“Are you sure you didn’t get these forms from some scam?”

Li Wenshu silently reminded himself three times that this person was his boss before replying, “I’m sure. Absolutely sure. There are too many applications waiting to be processed. What should we do now?”

Jian Yuanbai frowned, “Did the royal family secretly change the name of the school behind my back?”

While speaking, he logged into the Ministry of Education’s registration website. Right at the top was their familiar and arrogant school name, and right below it was the First Imperial Academy.

Now, Jian Yuanbai was truly confused.

“The name hasn’t changed.”

“What kind of students would be willing to attend a school with a name like this?”

What Jian Yuanbai couldn’t figure out, Li Wenshu couldn’t either.

Imagine two students chatting in the future:

Student A: “I’m from the Academy of Literature and History. What about you?”

Student B: “I’m from the ‘Fifty Years of Trash, Lie Down and Rot Academy.'”

Wouldn’t that be awkward? Could they really say that with a straight face?

If this happened often enough, even the most confident person would develop self-esteem issues.

The two men exchanged glances, seeing the same confusion reflected in each other’s eyes.

Lu Qianyun, sitting in the chair, suggested, “Check the StarNet for any news.”

“Maybe we can find out why so many students applied.”

As he spoke, he accessed the StarNet through his light brain. Seeing this, Jian Yuanbai’s mind instantly flashed to the overwhelming media coverage from yesterday’s banquet. Only one thought filled his head: He absolutely cannot let Lu Qianyun see this.

Jian Yuanbai didn’t even have time to come up with an excuse. Fortunately, there was a perfect one right in front of him.

“Stop!” He anxiously pressed down on Lu Qianyun’s hand. “You can’t look at the light brain. It has radiation.”

But it was too late.

The moment Lu Qianyun logged onto the StarNet, countless headlines flooded in like a tidal wave:

• “The Dark Horse Champion of the Academy Competition, Jian Yuanbai, Publicly Confesses to His Teammate Lu Qianyun.”
• “In Public, Jian Yuanbai Boldly Declares: ‘I Want to Sleep with You!'”
• “Uncle-Nephew Incest? Click to Uncover the Love-Hate Relationship Between Jian Yuanbai and Lu Qianyun.”
• “Jian Yuanbai’s Wild Nightlife: Harassing His Teammate in Front of Everyone.”
• “Carried Away from the Scene — What Happened to Lu Qianyun?”
• “Unable to Walk After Being Done? A Frenzied Night of Lust and Incest?”

Every headline was more outrageous than the last. The content inside was even more bizarre, accusing Lu Qianyun of selling his body to gain Jian Yuanbai’s favor or seducing Jian Yuanbai despite being fellow alphas and disregarding ethics.

Each and every word was a brutal smear against Lu Qianyun.

Lu Qianyun’s face gradually turned from pale to flushed, then to pitch black. Without saying a word or even glancing at Jian Yuanbai, he silently stood up and left the study.

In his chaotic state of mind, he completely forgot to question why light brain radiation was suddenly harmful to him.

Jian Yuanbai sat there helplessly, watching Lu Qianyun leave. The words stuck in his throat, and he could only watch him walk away as he slumped dejectedly onto the chair.

He only knew that the media had reported heavily on this incident. While researching pregnancy information, he deliberately avoided clicking on those news articles. It was only at this moment that he truly understood what those reports had written about Lu Longlong.

The person he liked, the wife he cherished in his heart, was being slandered like this. Jian Yuanbai felt anger, but even more than that, he felt a deep sense of self-blame for causing all of this.

Knowing that he was the root of everything, Jian Yuanbai couldn’t bring himself to stop Lu Longlong when he saw him leave.

The study remained silent for a moment before Li Wenshu cautiously spoke, “Boss?”

Jian Yuanbai’s expression darkened. “Didn’t I tell you to contact those media outlets and have them take down the outrageous reports?”

Li Wenshu, for once, showed a rare sense of guilt. “It’s my fault.”

If things went wrong, his boss’s freshly acquired wife would run away. Li Wenshu didn’t bother explaining that he had been bombarded by the overwhelming number of student applications and failed to handle the media situation in time. That was indeed his mistake.

Jian Yuanbai let out a deep sigh and rubbed his temples. “Forget it. I don’t blame you.”

“Even if we try to handle it, we can’t contact all the media outlets and delete everything in one morning.”

Ultimately, it was his own fault for losing control and saying such outrageous things during his susceptible period.

After thinking for a moment, Jian Yuanbai said, “Help me contact all the media currently on the Imperial Star. I’m holding a press conference.”

He didn’t call Lu Qianyun. Instead, after Li Wenshu arranged the media, Jian Yuanbai went straight to the press conference venue.

Although the team for the Academy Competition consisted of three members, by now, everyone knew that the notorious “Fifty Years of Trash, Lie Down and Rot Academy” was under the name of Jian Yuanbai’s father, but in reality, it was entirely founded by Jian Yuanbai himself.

Moreover, with Jian Yuanbai’s jaw-dropping performance during the live broadcast and his role as the team’s core player, he had received the most attention and glory after the competition ended.

The moment he stepped into the venue, countless cameras and lights followed his every move.

But Jian Yuanbai didn’t care about the flashing lights. Just like how he joined the Academy Competition for Lu Longlong, this time, he was here for Lu Longlong as well.

Jian Yuanbai sat at the main seat and didn’t give the reporters a chance to speak. He directly said:

“I participated in the Academy Competition solely to stand up for Lu Qianyun. I hope everyone will stop focusing too much on me.”

“Why did I stand up for Lu Qianyun?” Jian Yuanbai asked himself and chuckled. “Because I like him. I love him. I’m chasing after him. Yesterday was my first sudden susceptible period, and I was the one chasing after Lu Qianyun.”

“He and I have no blood relationship. He calls me ‘Uncle’ only because I’m of the same generation as his father.”

“To all the media outlets and individuals who spread false rumors and slander against my wife, I’ll see you in court, one by one.”

Jian Yuanbai’s eyes turned icy cold as his pheromones flooded the venue, causing everyone present to turn pale.

“To all the media that have defamed and insulted Lu Qianyun, the Jian family will fight you to the end.”

“I won’t stop until you go bankrupt.”

He stood up and swept a cold gaze across all the reporters present. “If no one has ever taught you what journalistic integrity means, then I will.”

Several media outlets turned pale, their faces filled with visible panic.

Jian Yuanbai suddenly retracted his pheromones and concluded, “I’m currently preparing for my wedding with Lu Qianyun. I hope you all know how to report this.”

“As for the wedding, you are not invited.”

After this press conference, all the humiliating and slanderous rumors about Lu Qianyun disappeared from the StarNet at an astonishing speed.

What replaced them was an explosive surge of news about everything Jian Yuanbai had said at the press conference.

The Jian Corporation stepped forward with unprecedented toughness. It was only at this moment that people remembered that Jian Yuanbai was not some comedic student from a livestream, but the powerful CEO of a massive ore mining corporation.

It was just that Jian Yuanbai usually acted too casually, so people gradually stopped taking him seriously.
