The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 84

Chapter 84: AE08

Gu Xiu had stayed in the hotel apartment for a few days and had not been in contact with Lin Zijun. The Omega pheromones that had been lingering around him had finally dissipated.

He himself didn’t feel anything. The first to discover and be pleased with it was his superior, Jin Chenhan.

Jin Chenhan had a meeting with Jamie today, which was arranged by Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu brought Jamie up. Just as he was about to leave the CEO’s office, he was stopped by Jin Chenhan. “Gu Xiu, you can stay and take notes.”

Gu Xiu lowered his head respectfully, pushed up his glasses, and agreed.

Jamie looked at him several times, let out a “huh,” and seemed to find him familiar, but he couldn’t remember for a moment. And now he had a more curious question. Having grown up in an open environment, he directly asked Gu Xiu, “You’re really handsome. You must be an A+ rank Alpha, right?”

He also included Jin Chenhan and said with a hint of teasing, “Jin, you’re really amazing to have such a handsome Alpha as your secretary.”

Gu Xiu was always rigorous and serious. He replied in a rigid manner, “I’m just a C-rank Alpha. It’s my honor to be Mr. Jin’s secretary.”

Jin Chenhan, on the other hand, curled his lips slightly and did not answer. The slightly raised corners of his eyebrows vaguely revealed a hint of showing off and pride.

“Oh, I see,” Jamie smiled. “It’s a pity I’m a Beta. I don’t know what your pheromones smell like… But Alpha pheromones are very aggressive. It’s a good thing I can’t smell them, or else I wouldn’t be able to sit here and chat with you.”

However, the reality was the opposite.

What Jamie didn’t know was that after the Omega pheromones on Gu Xiu had disappeared, his own faint Alpha pheromones had emerged, a sweet chestnut scent, with the charming smell of roasted oil.

Gu Xiu was an extremely weak Alpha. Jin Chenhan was momentarily in a daze. Such an Alpha might be able to withstand his mark, and willingly…

Besides, to be honest, Gu Xiu’s looks were also particularly to his liking. Especially when that cold and ascetic shell would occasionally crack, revealing a smile as sweet as his pheromones.

“Oh, right, Little Gu,” Jamie said, talking about business, and occasionally he would bring up Gu Xiu. “Do you have a girlfriend? It must be very busy working with Jin, right?”

“It’s alright,” Gu Xiu paused for a moment before answering the other question. “I have a fiancée, arranged by my family.”

“What era is this? You’re still playing the fiancée game?” Jamie said. “If you’re sure, then you should get married early. An engagement is not protected by law.”

Gu Xiu smiled and skipped the topic.

Before long, it was almost time for dinner.

“Gu Xiu,” Jin Chenhan called out. “Book a restaurant nearby. We’ll leave in half an hour.”

“Okay, Mr. Jin,” Gu Xiu left his laptop and took his phone to contact a restaurant.

Jin Chenhan was drinking coffee and casually glanced over, only to see new messages constantly popping up in the chat window on Gu Xiu’s computer screen.

His movements paused.

“What should we eat tonight?” Jamie took out his phone and browsed, talking to himself. “Is there anything good to eat nearby… forget it, I don’t think you care about these things. I’ll go and ask Little Gu.”

Jamie went to find Gu Xiu, while Jin Chenhan got up from the sofa and pretended to casually pass by Gu Xiu’s seat.

Zijun: 【Are you coming home for dinner tonight? Today is our 100-day anniversary.】

Many Alphas and Omegas would enter their pheromones into the system to easily find a highly compatible partner in the vast sea of people. Genes destined them to be a match made in heaven. When they met for the first time, due to the attraction of the pheromones, they would naturally establish a romantic relationship, and it was not unheard of for them to go and get their marriage certificate directly.

This message said it was their 100-day anniversary, but Jin Chenhan could immediately judge that it was no different from a 100-day anniversary of their relationship. And the person named “Zijun” was Gu Xiu’s Omega fiancée.

He subconsciously looked at Gu Xiu by the door, confirmed that he was choosing a restaurant with Jamie and had no time to pay attention to this side, and couldn’t help but look at the computer screen a few more times.

Zijun: 【I bought all your favorite dishes today.】

Zijun: 【Gu Xiu, can you reply to me when you see this?】

Zijun: 【It’s fine if you have to work overtime. I’ll wait for you.】

He really is as virtuous as the people in the office had said.

Jin Chenhan brought the coffee cup to his lips, lost in thought. His throat rolled, but he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

“Mr. Jin!” Gu Xiu walked back with his phone. “What do you think of this one…”

Jin Chenhan turned to face him. “You can decide. By the way, you don’t have anything else to do tonight, right? You can eat with us.”

“Ah…” Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t checked his new messages yet. As a perfect secretary, he first agreed. “Okay, Mr. Jin.”

Jin Chenhan curled his lips. “Then you can tidy up a bit. We can get ready to leave.”

Dinner was at a high-end Chinese restaurant.

Soft, warm yellow light was cast in every corner. The decoration was simple and warm, and the decorative screens isolated the outside noise.

The business of this restaurant was booming, and the private rooms were already sold out. Gu Xiu had only managed to book a seat by the window, and the environment was quite quiet.

Just as the dishes were served, Jamie’s phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he put down his chopsticks without a word and walked out, apologizing to the two with a gesture as he walked.

“We’ll eat first,” Jin Chenhan said, accustomed to it, and informed Gu Xiu, “His girlfriend is very strict with him.”

Jamie had a head of dazzling blond hair, and his appearance was top-notch among Betas. Gu Xiu thought that it was not strange and casually chatted with his superior. “Are they both Betas?”

“Yes,” Jin Chenhan said. “They were engaged by their parents when they were still in their mothers’ wombs. Although they are both Betas, they grew up together, and their relationship has always been very good, and they are also very compatible.”

But when Gu Xiu heard this, his expression changed. He followed his persona of pursuing a free love and argued with his superior, “This kind of family matchmaking… is just like the high compatibility between AO. It becomes a habit, and they probably don’t even know if they are willing or if they really love each other.”

Jin Chenhan did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked up at Gu Xiu across the round table. Gu Xiu’s head was down, and his silver-rimmed glasses had slipped to the tip of his nose, a fan-shaped shadow in his eye sockets.

This secretary was always proper and restrained. It was rare for him to be so talkative, and he also disagreed with his superior. No matter how you looked at it, it contained a lot of personal emotions.

Jin Chenhan’s eyes were as sharp as a torch. As expected, he had guessed a lot of hidden stories and asked directly, “For example, you and your highly compatible fiancée?”

Gu Xiu was silent, his lips unconsciously pursed, and the corners of his mouth were sunken, a shadow in the hollow, looking a little dejected.

Jin Chenhan understood.

He grasped the degree of his probing, advanced steadily, picked up his chopsticks, and changed the subject. “Try this.”

“Ah… thank you, Mr. Jin,” by the time Gu Xiu reacted, the dish that Jin Chenhan had picked up had already landed in his bowl.

He had just brought the dish that his superior had picked up to his mouth when the phone on the table lit up again. Lin Zijun’s message quickly scrolled on the screen.

Zijun: 【Are you coming home tonight or not?】

Gu Xiu, like some scum men, looked at the table of good food in front of him, but replied that he was working overtime.

Jin Chenhan, who was opposite him, silently lifted his deep gray eyes, and then silently lowered them, concentrating on his food.

Zijun: 【Then are you at the company now?】

Zijun: 【I’ll go and pick you up. I should be there just in time.】

Gu Xiu frowned, a little at a loss. He ran his hand through his hair in frustration and changed his story. 【I’m having dinner with a client. Don’t come.】

Only then did Lin Zijun finally quiet down.

Gu Xiu let out a big sigh of relief and ate seriously.

This restaurant was very close to the company, less than a ten-minute walk, and it was also on the necessary path from the subway station to the company’s main entrance.

When Lin Zijun had sent a message asking if he should pick him up, he had actually just come out of the subway station.

Without thinking, Gu Xiu would definitely refuse, so he had come over in advance to check if Gu Xiu was really working as he had said.

At first, he said he was working overtime, and then he said he was with a client. Gu Xiu’s change of story made him vaguely uneasy. Who would have thought that as he was walking on the road, he would see a familiar figure from the restaurant’s glass window? He walked closer and saw that it was really Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu, who claimed to be having dinner with a client, was indeed eating, but opposite him sat an exceptionally handsome man.

In an instant, Lin Zijun thought of Gu Xiu’s white shirt, which was filled with high-rank Alpha pheromones.

A cold wind rose, and his heart also felt chilly. His fingertips trembled as he sent another message to Gu Xiu.

Zijun: 【Gu Xiu… who are you with?】

The first to see this message was Jin Chenhan. He glanced at it and reminded Gu Xiu, “Don’t you need to reply? It seems to be your fiancée.”

Hearing this, 007 also said to Gu Xiu, 【Jiujiu, you can give some more hints now to let the protagonist gong confirm that you’re giving the protagonist shou the cold shoulder!】

So Gu Xiu didn’t even raise his head and replied perfunctorily, “No need. We’re still fighting.”

Jin Chenhan said with feigned kindness, “Don’t you need to tell him that you’re with your superior?”

Gu Xiu’s attitude was cold. “My work is none of his business.”

“It’s not all work,” Jin Chenhan picked up another piece of the best meat for Gu Xiu, his smiling gray eyes looking at him. “This isn’t.”

Gu Xiu blinked uncomfortably. “…Thank you, Mr. Jin.”

Jin Chenhan once again glanced at Gu Xiu’s phone. His peripheral vision just happened to notice a figure that had flashed by the window and had hidden. He was slightly stunned and had some guesses.

At the same time, the “Zijun” in Gu Xiu’s phone was still pressing, 【Are you really with a client?】

Although he was not sure if Gu Xiu’s fiancée had “caught him cheating” and had come here, this did not stop Jin Chenhan, as a superior, from openly and considerately picking up food for Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu was flattered and repeatedly thanked him, “Thank you, Mr. Jin…”

The freshly made cherry meat had just been served. Jin Chenhan immediately picked up a piece for Gu Xiu. The lean meat was wrapped in a layer of flour and fried until crispy, then coated with a bright red sweet and sour sauce, and finally sprinkled with a little sesame for fragrance and decoration.

A mouthful of the cherry-shaped crispy meat was put into his mouth. The texture was extremely rich, and it instantly conquered Gu Xiu’s taste buds.

He couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

He was wearing the most rigid professional suit and a pair of proper glasses, but from time to time, he would show an innocent and romantic expression like a worldly-wise young man.

Jin Chenhan rarely spoke at the dinner table and silently kept picking up food for him.

Just as he was enjoying the delicious food, Jin Chenhan’s voice suddenly sounded, “I don’t know how long Jamie’s call will take… if you don’t want to accompany us, you can go back anytime.”

Gu Xiu locked the screen and looked up, subconsciously saying, “No, I really want to eat.”

Hearing a chuckle, Gu Xiu’s cheeks grew hot. He belatedly realized that he was just an accompanying secretary. How could he be so gluttonous? He quickly tried to remedy the situation, “Mr. Jin, I have a strong sense of service. Don’t worry.”

Jin Chenhan curled his lips. “Oh? Is that so?”

Gu Xiu nodded vigorously.

Jin Chenhan’s words had a hidden meaning. “But I don’t like to force people.”

Gu Xiu sycophantically took over the conversation. “I don’t feel forced.”

Jin Chenhan didn’t say anything, his gray eyes quietly watching him without blinking.

“Uh…” Gu Xiu averted his gaze, scratched his head, as if he understood but not quite, and said again, “My sense of service is really very good. For example… Mr. Jin, don’t move.”

Jin Chenhan was stunned.

“Your tie is not tied properly. I’ll help you re-tie it.”

Before Jin Chenhan could react, his tie was easily untied by his secretary’s fingers.

Gu Xiu didn’t know how he was so skilled at tying a tie. Could it be a natural talent for being a secretary?

Jin Chenhan was stunned for a few seconds. It took him a long time to focus his gaze on the handsome and exceptionally submissive secretary with his head lowered.

The gentle silver-rimmed glasses were like an externalization of that ascetic temperament. If he were to take them off without a care, would it break some kind of seal?

Gu Xiu might show the arrogance of an Alpha, break free from the cloak of good socialization, and transform into a beast to compete with him.

The final result would inevitably be Gu Xiu’s defeat. His face would be full of shock, and under the suppression of the Enigma pheromones, he would shiver and have to offer his own Alpha gland.

He probably would never have dreamed that his own gland would one day, like an Omega’s, be bitten by someone’s canines and injected with a higher-level pheromone.

In that moment of extreme pain and extreme pleasure, he didn’t know if he would miss his former, not-so-good Omega fiancée?

Jin Chenhan’s tie was being caressed by an Alpha. Under the influence of the Alpha’s close-range sweet-scented pheromones, he was momentarily lost in a sensual fantasy that violated worldly ethics and morals. His heartbeat was out of sync, and his breathing was rapid.

If his Beta attending physician, Doctor Hou, were to come over, he would definitely hold the detector in front of him and shout, “Mr. Jin, calm down!”

But Gu Xiu, as an Alpha, was as oblivious as ever to his dangerous pheromones.

“…Huh?”

Gu Xiu was engrossed in tying his superior’s tie. He couldn’t get it right. He thought for a moment and estimated that the tie was crossed at the back of his neck, so he was about to reach out to adjust it—

Jin Chenhan’s eyelashes trembled, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

He had no choice but to raise his hand and, through the cool leather gloves, he held Gu Xiu’s wrist.

Gu Xiu looked up and met a pair of misty and suppressed gray eyes.

And by his ear, the man’s low and hoarse voice sounded, “Gu Xiu, you touched my gland.”
