YA Ch128: Alpha Son-in-law (Extra)

Lu Yu first met Ming Yan at a banquet held by the Ming family, for Ming Yan’s eighteenth birthday celebration.

Mr. Ming announced at the banquet that Ming Yan’s secondary gender was determined to be Beta.

Dressed in a custom-made suit, Ming Yan stood on the high platform, receiving the sincere or insincere congratulations from the crowd, calm and stable like an ancient well without ripples.

As an Alpha, Lu Yu felt quite envious. Since the last era, human reproduction had become increasingly difficult. To prevent extinction, scientists introduced genetic modification, creating the three genders of ABO in humans.

Among the Alpha, Beta, and Omega genders, Beta was the most stable, not affected by pheromones. The other two genders were slaves to pheromones, easily induced, manipulated, and clouded by desire. Therefore, many jobs prohibited A and O from participating.

“Congratulations,” Lu Yu said sincerely to Ming Yan, raising his glass.

“What’s there to congratulate about becoming an ordinary person?” A strong young man approached, speaking mockingly. “In the end, the world is controlled by Alphas.”

This man was Ming Yan’s cousin.

The Ming family was founded by Ming Yan’s father. In an era where financial conglomerates controlled most resources, they fought their way up to become a newly prominent family. With a vast estate, Ming Yan was their only son in old age.

Before his secondary gender was determined, the side branches of the Ming family prayed for him to be an Omega, as the law stipulated that Omegas could not be the heads of large corporate groups.

Omegas had strong reproductive abilities and high artistic talent but were physically weak. Upon reaching maturity at eighteen, they would experience a heat cycle each month.

Omegas needed the help of Alphas to get through the heat, and once bonded with an Alpha, they would develop a strong dependency on the Alpha due to pheromones, becoming akin to “love-struck” beings.

To reduce risks and prevent the company leader from being controlled by pheromones, which could lead to immeasurable losses for shareholders, this peculiar law was enacted. If Ming Yan had been determined to be an Omega, the Ming family’s fortune would have been divided among those uncles and cousins.

Ming Yan ignored his cousin’s brainless comment and simply clinked glasses with Lu Yu. “My cousin lacks brains, please don’t mind him.”

“Who are you calling brainless?” the cousin shouted.

Lu Yu looked at Ming Yan’s expressionless handsome face and sighed inwardly. Betas really had stable emotions. Meanwhile, he was already irritated by this brainless Alpha’s pheromones, itching to give him a punch.

He struggled to resist the urge to confront the fool and instead admired the perfect waistline that the custom suit accentuated, slender enough to be grasped with a single hand.

For the first time, Lu Yu thought Betas looked better than Omegas. Omegas were usually smaller, while Ming Yan was tall and upright, making his narrow waist look exceptionally beautiful.

The second time Lu Yu encountered Ming Yan was at a serious summit.

Lu Yu represented the Lu Group to present a new product. “The Lu Group’s new lightweight mech can be used for solo combat, and it can also be disassembled for civilian daily use. For example…”

Lu Yu stood on stage, scanning the front row and spotting Ming Yan in the audience.

Ming Yan was wearing a gray pinstriped suit, complemented by a starry blue tie, adorned with a lily-of-the-valley-shaped gem clip.

Lu Yu unconsciously straightened his back and earnestly presented the project he had led. “For example, the mechanical arm can be equipped individually on your hand, and when needed, it can instantly triple your strength, easily opening stubborn bottle caps.”

Everyone knew this was just a joke about bottle caps. The audience laughed appropriately, except for Ming Yan, who remained indifferent, his beautiful face as cold as ice. Seeing everyone laughing, a faint smile finally appeared at the corners of his lips.

Around them, people were whispering.

“This product will stabilize the Lu family’s status. I heard he’s already been confirmed to take over the Lu Group; so young, truly impressive.”

“That young man from the Lu family is amazing. The Lu family was about to fall out of the ranks of great financial families, and he actually developed a lightweight mech.”

“Who else could take charge if not him? He’s the most outstanding Alpha of this generation; the others are useless compared to him. The Lu family has produced a golden phoenix amidst a bunch of worthless chickens. How remarkable!”

Ming Yan raised his gaze, scrutinizing the Lu family’s “golden phoenix,” a hint of mockery flickering in his eyes. He knew some of the Lu family’s affairs; this phoenix might be plucked clean in boiling water.

Suddenly, a scream came from the back row, and chaos erupted in the conference hall. The strong scent of leather filled the room, almost making Lu Yu vomit. This nauseating Alpha pheromone made his temples throb.

Someone exclaimed, “An Alpha has lost control!”

Lu Yu pressed his temples, gripping the microphone tightly, taking on the role of a temporary commander. “Alphas to the left, Omegas to the right, please move quickly to the emergency exits and evacuate the scene.”

After saying this, he gripped the podium, fighting the impulse to start a fight and jokingly asked if any kind-hearted Betas would step up to help maintain order.

He unconsciously glanced at Ming Yan in the front row but found that Ming Yan had already left with the crowd. Lu Yu felt a bit disappointed. At that moment, a Beta staff member approached and said, “Sir, leave it to me.”

Finally, Lu Yu was freed from the overwhelming pheromone. He hurried to the area where the Alphas had gathered, taking a deep breath of fresh air. His good friend, Second Young Master Hong, was waving at him, asking if he needed a suppressant.

The uncontrollable Alpha pheromones were more potent than usual and could severely affect unmarked Omegas and even have negative effects on Alphas. Some weaker-willed Alphas might need a shot of suppressant to stay calm.

Lu Yu waved his hand casually. “That guy is weak; this little bit isn’t a threat.”

After that, he looked toward the area where the Betas were standing. Usually, in such situations, Betas were also not allowed to go near the Omegas, to prevent an Alpha from pretending to be a Beta or for other special circumstances. Safety was always the priority.

Lu Yu craned his neck to look around but didn’t see Ming Yan. He didn’t think much of it, greeting Second Young Master Hong before turning to head to the restroom to wash up.

Staying in the conference hall for too long had affected him somewhat. Although he didn’t need a suppressant, the brutality and impulsiveness were still coursing through him, making his body temperature a bit high.

Turning on the faucet, he splashed cold water on his face, finally calming down. After wiping the water off his face, he casually pushed his hair back, styling it into a wet hair elite look.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yu suddenly froze. He caught a whiff of a delightful lily-of-the-valley fragrance, faint yet seemingly close. Under some kind of spell, he followed the scent and found its source in the dressing room next to the restroom.

Standing outside the curtain of the dressing room, Lu Yu felt like he was standing on the edge of a demonic abyss, with a voice constantly tempting him to open the box of magic. Acting on impulse, he lifted a corner of the dressing room curtain.

What he saw before him exploded like fireworks, catching him off guard and leaving him dizzy, dazzled by a riot of colors.

Ming Yan, dressed in a silver suit, was curled up in the corner of the dressing room, revealing his neck, which glowed a stunning pink.

Lu Yu felt his throat go dry and swallowed hard. “What’s wrong?”

Ming Yan suddenly turned his head, sweat dampening his bangs, making him look both charming and fragile. With wet eyes, he coldly glared at Lu Yu, “Get out! Call my secretary, Xiao Jiang.”

Though he spoke with an imposing tone, his words were fragmented, mixed with uncontainable soft moans. By the time Lu Yu regained his senses, he had already walked in, leaning close to Ming Yan, intoxicated as he inhaled deeply.

He squeezed out a sentence between his teeth, “You’re an Omega! Damn it!”

Lu Yu deeply regretted not taking the suppressant from Second Young Master Hong and not decisively turning away when hesitating at the door. He felt like he had fallen into a trap filled with lilies of the valley, about to drown in this sweet and potent pheromone.

An already unstable Alpha colliding with an aroused Omega was a danger level comparable to racing at the edge of a cliff.

At that critical moment, Ming Yan suddenly leaned in and kissed Lu Yu on the lips. Their soft and moist lips pressed together, making it hard to part, and Lu Yu embraced the drenched figure.

The long kiss completed a slight pheromone exchange, giving both of them a brief sense of relief. Lu Yu, still yearning, licked the corner of his mouth and said in a hushed voice, “Now all the Betas with work badges have gone to maintain order. I’ll go call Xiao Jiang; it will surely attract attention.”

These corporate executives had guest badges, while secretarial staff like Xiao Jiang wore work badges and weren’t part of the group of Betas in the front hall. Ming Yan gave him a meaningful glance, his long eyelashes lowered: “So what do you want to do?”

Lu Yu’s throat started to feel dry again. “If you don’t mind, I could give you a temporary mark.”

Ming Yan looked up at him. “I mind.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu wasn’t particularly surprised. He leaned in to inhale deeply near Ming Yan’s neck, fighting the urge to bite down, rubbing against the sweat on his skin instead. “Then wait here; I’ll go find a suppressant.” He remembered that the summit hosted by the Lu family had prepared suppressants in advance just in case.

As he recalled the route, he started to get up.

Just as he was halfway up, Ming Yan grabbed him again.

Ming Yan breathed heavily a couple of times, saying, “Ordinary suppressants are ineffective for me. I’ve disguised myself as a Beta for too long, and I’ve been taking large amounts of suppressants each month, which has led to drug resistance. I need a stronger one. Right now, the suppressants have failed, and the suppressed physiological reactions are surging back. The pheromones of a losing control Alpha, if evacuated in time, might just make other Omegas weak and scared, but for me, it will lead directly to arousal.”

Lu Yu understood at last and finally grasped why Ming Yan always seemed emotionless; it was the side effect of excessive suppressants. Ming Yan held onto his hand and started trembling; the effect of that earlier kiss was quickly fading. He bit his lip, lowering his head to reveal his fair neck tinged with pink, softly saying, “Go ahead and bite.”

Lu Yu obediently leaned closer, unable to control the pheromones secreting from him, like a hungry person staring at a mouthwatering dish, unable to stop drooling.

Just as he opened his mouth, he heard Ming Yan’s warning: “If you dare to mark me at this moment, I will make you pay for it with your life.” The marking he spoke of wasn’t the temporary marking of a bite on the neck but rather a serious form of intimacy. Usually, when Alphas and Omegas performed temporary markings, they couldn’t help but engage in intimate actions, and it was easy to lose control.

Lu Yu scoffed, “Am I that kind of rogue?” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but lick a drop of sweat from Ming Yan’s neck, where the sweat carried a faint pheromone that was incredibly sweet for an Alpha.

Ming Yan raised an eyebrow at him, as if to say, “Isn’t that rogue enough?”

Lu Yu gritted his teeth. “Don’t worry; forcing an Omega is a serious crime. I’m about to gain control of the Lu family; at this moment, I don’t want any complications.” He endured it, quietly waiting. After Ming Yan softly hummed in acknowledgment, he bit down on that swan-like long and beautiful neck.

Alpha pheromones flooded into Ming Yan’s glands, sending a wave of intense pleasure throughout his body. Ming Yan couldn’t help but cry out, biting down hard on his own hand.

Lu Yu poured his pheromones into him like they were free, and the instant release of pleasure made him addicted, followed by an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction.

“Enough,” Ming Yan cried, his voice laced with tears.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and released the slightly swollen skin on the back of Ming Yan’s neck, gently licking it. Ming Yan leaned weakly against him, the dependency caused by the pheromones prompting him to embrace the Alpha he didn’t consider familiar, tilting his head to plant a soft kiss on Lu Yu’s chin.

Lu Yu lowered his head, breathing heavily, and once again captured Ming Yan’s glistening lips. The two of them, lost in their desires, kissed on the floor of the dressing room, entwined like two snakes, wishing they could push each other deeper into their bodies…
