Chapter 54: What’s Wrong with a Spoiled Beta 15 p2
Chu Chuanbai didn’t mind killing Chu Chuanting directly.
He had wanted to do so many years ago. If it weren’t for Chu Chuanting’s mental power being crippled in time, and his appearance of having no desires, as if he wanted to stay away from all the disputes of the Chu family, he would have long since made Chu Chuanting die in a car accident like his mother, who had taken over.
However, having one more life on his hands would not do him any good. If it wasn’t necessary, he had no hobby of killing people. So at that time, seeing Chu Chuanting’s harmless appearance, Chu Chuanbai had followed the old master Chu’s words and had not made a move.
Who knew that now, this so-called younger brother had still exposed his ambition.
And this ambition had been artificially stimulated.
—Stimulated by Shu He.
So when they broke up, Shu He would say those things.
So when he saw that he was going to kill Chu Chuanting, he had reminded him a second time.
Shu He wanted Chu Chuanting to have ambition, to hate him, but he didn’t want Chu Chuanting to die.
Why?
Chu Chuanbai’s thoughts were heavy, his eyelids drooping as he stared at Shu He’s pouting mouth.
Shu He had not been happy recently.
When he had just moved in, he would smile every day, his eyes always curved, like a lively little cat basking in the sun, very infectious.
But he hadn’t smiled much recently.
There was the reason of not being able to go out, and perhaps also Chu Chuanting’s reason.
The pouting mouth looked particularly wronged, preoccupied, and his almond eyes were also lowered, as if he had no energy for anything.
At this moment, Chu Chuanbai chose to let his reason be eroded, to let the huge hidden danger that would arise in the future.
He suddenly bent down. Shu He thought he was going to hug him like before, and his body tensed, at a loss.
Who knew that the next second, this tall man would kneel in front of him. He was so tall that even when he knelt, he could still be at eye level with Shu He.
Shu He looked at Chu Chuanbai in a daze. The person in front of him gently asked him, “Little He just used me to achieve his goal. Shouldn’t he give me some reward?”
Shu He immediately pursed his lips.
“What do you want?”
He couldn’t afford anything too expensive.
He had no money.
Thinking of this, Shu He had the sadness of a poor person, and he pouted slightly and said in a small voice, “I have no money.”
Chu Chuanbai reached out and pinched his soft cheek, like pinching a bun. “I don’t want your money.”
With his face being pinched, Shu He’s voice was muffled. “Then what do you want…”
“Your kiss.”
Chu Chuanbai’s right hand was on his pale cheek, and his handsome face was magnified in the boy’s almond eyes. “Just a kiss. Just give it to me.”
His voice was extremely soft, the end of his words only a hot breath. When he said this, their lips were even almost touching, their breaths intertwined.
Shu He couldn’t afford to give money, but he could afford to give a kiss. He didn’t hesitate much and went over and gave Chu Chuanbai a peck on the lips, like kissing a little puppy, and then pulled away and said it was okay.
“This reward is too little.”
“Give me two kisses, and let me lead.”
“If you can’t breathe, you can slap me. I have no sense of proportion.”
The moment he was pressed down on the soft bed, Shu He’s ears were filled with many sounds. He couldn’t hear them clearly, and his lips were completely plundered and taken.
Their hot breaths rose and fell, and Chu Chuanbai’s large palm was on his waist, his eyes lowered as he licked and kissed his philtrum. Perhaps because he had gotten permission, he was not as rough and intense as the previous two times, but instead kissed him with extreme gentleness, his breath wet and hot.
Shu He’s breathing was chaotic, his moist almond eyes were dazed and open. This kiss was too dense, too gentle, so much that his remaining reason also softened into a paste. He only knew to let out a soft hum.
It was clear that he was comfortable from the kiss.
After kissing his lips enough, Chu Chuanbai went to plunder the soft red in Shu He’s mouth, the liquid. He licked the moisture in the boy’s lips, and swallowed all the fine sounds he made, and then held the back of his head with his hand, and held him completely in his arms, his eyes a little scarlet as he bit his tongue.
Just kissing was not enough.
Far from enough.
His empty mind urgently needed something to fill it. He lowered his eyes, and his hand on Shu He’s waist went down. Shu He’s breathing was short as he closed his eyes in a daze. Then, as if an electric current had shot through his back, in an instant, his whole person was stiffly buried in Chu Chuanbai’s arms.
Chu Chuanbai kissed his face.
Shu He bit his lower lip, and large teardrops appeared in his eyes, his breathing trembling and irregular, and his neck and face were all red.
After a long time, Shu He opened his dazed eyes with a blank mind. His lips trembled and he couldn’t say a word, only the sound of hot breathing rising and falling in the room.
Chu Chuanbai looked at his hand.
He turned his head and went to kiss Shu He’s cheek again. After Shu He came to his senses, his whole person was flushed, and he lay on the bed like a little caterpillar, burrowing into the bed, unwilling to face what had happened.
Chu Chuanbai wanted to pull him out, but he had something in his hand. He fiddled with it in his palm, and turned his head and said to Shu He in a gentle voice, “I’ll go get you clothes to take a bath.”
Shu He let out a small response after a long time.
Chu Chuanbai stood up and left. Shu He couldn’t accept it and covered his ears, and lay on the bed and knocked his head against the pillow. He let out some meaningless sounds, and then went into the bathroom with a flushed face, and told Chu Chuanbai to put down the clothes and he could go.
Chu Chuanbai knew that he needed some time to react now, so he nodded like a gentleman and told him that the clothes were on the bed, and then the sound of the door closing gently clicked together.
The system was blocked.
He didn’t know how long it would be blocked.
Shu He scratched his cheek. His cheek was flushed from the hot water, like it was covered in a thin layer of powder. His desire to speak was stuck in his throat with no one to share it with, and he pouted and made bubbles himself.

Meanwhile, the old master Chu was urgently summoned from the nursing home to a coffee shop.
He had thought it was something important about the company, but the moment he sat down, he heard Chu Chuanting tell him a little story about his breakup.
The old master Chu: “…”
“He was forced.”
Chu Chuanting said so, his voice exceptionally calm, and his tone was also very certain. “Chu Chuanbai wanted to kill me. He was the one who stopped him.”
“It must be Chu Chuanbai who threatened him with something. He didn’t want to drag me down, so he said harsh words to make me leave.”
Chu Chuanting finished his own twisted version of the whole process, and finally tapped the table with his finger and said the first sentence to the person who had come. “Look at the good son you’ve raised.”
The old master Chu: “…”
He’s crazy.
The old master Chu was silent for a few minutes. The coffee shop was air-conditioned, but he was still so anxious he wiped his sweat. “So you mean, you’ve completely stood against Chu Chuanbai?”
Chu Chuanting: “The point is that Chu Chuanbai stole my wife.”
The old master Chu: “…”
The old master Chu: “Your wife, and his wife, are the same person?”
The sunlight outside the window was dazzling, and it reflected off the glass window. Chu Chuanting was enveloped in this dazzling light, his brow slightly gloomy. “That’s my wife.”
“…Is it Little He?”
“Mm, mine.”
“…”
What was all this?
The old master Chu’s throat felt as if he had swallowed a stone. He couldn’t understand this person who had said he was naturally cold not long ago. Now, no matter how he looked at him, he couldn’t see where he was still cold. “Then what do you need me for?”
“Do you have any other trump cards?”
Chu Chuanting was not polite at all. After all, they were using each other. “Do you have no one else in the company to help you besides me? Do you have any fighters you’ve raised in private?”
The old master Chu: “…”
The old master Chu said, “I do. I can give them to you if you need them. As for… my old subordinates in the company have basically been cleaned out by Chu Chuanbai. There are still a few left, in middle-level positions, not very useful, but they might be able to help you a little. I’ll list these people’s names and send them to you in a bit.”
He paused for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice, “Chu Chuanbai and that Little He child have a marriage. If you want, the marriage can also be yours.”
“What do you mean?”
“Little He’s parents and I…”
The old master Chu closed his eyes and said, “When we arranged the marriage back then, we said it was for the head of the Chu family. If the head of the family is Chu Chuanbai, then the marriage is his. If the head of the family is you, then the marriage is yours.”
He also had a bit of an intention to motivate Chu Chuanting, and reminded, “So if you want to fight with Chu Chuanbai, it’s best to plan for the long term. Chu Chuanbai must have already targeted you.”
Chu Chuanting leaned back in the high-backed chair, lowered his eyes, and spun the coffee cup in his hand. He didn’t know what he was thinking, and said, “Are you on good terms with the Shu family?”
The old master Chu was also a smart person who had been a powerful figure in Shangyu City in his youth. Otherwise, he would not have developed the Chu family into the local emperor of Shangyu City later. The moment he heard Chu Chuanting say this, he immediately realized what he was planning to do.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
“I’m on good terms with Little He’s parents. Now the Shu family is in the hands of a collateral branch. I’m not familiar with that branch.”
“However, the Shu family is also in a turbulent stage now. Little He’s parents just died a few months ago, and the collateral branch’s ability is mediocre, and the old people have not been cleaned out. There are many old people in the Shu family that I can introduce you to.”
The old master Chu took a sip of coffee, and frowned at the bitterness. “Let them help you fight Chu Chuanbai, and you help them take back the Shu family. It’s a pity that Little He is a Beta and has no inheritance rights…”
Chu Chuanting frowned.
The old master Chu was clearly reminded of another matter by this. “Didn’t you say last time that Chu Chuanbai was working on some gene research project? This is a breakthrough. When you go to the company, find out how far it has progressed, and then buy some media to spread the news, so that Chu Chuanbai will be attacked by the Alphas. By then, more and more people will come to you. I believe you are very smart and can choose the ones you can use to form an alliance.”
Chu Chuanting lowered his eyes and took a sip of the bitter coffee, his heart drifting to Shu He, and did not answer.
The old master Chu didn’t mind. He believed that Chu Chuanting really wanted to pull Chu Chuanbai down this time.
Unlike any other time before, this time Chu Chuanting had a direct stake in these things. His wife had been stolen. It would be strange if he could still sit still.
“I’m waiting for your good news.”
Before leaving, the old master Chu said so.
Chu Chuanting put down his coffee, and with a noncommittal air, he lifted his eyelids and said “Mm.”

“According to our repeated calculations, the gene research made a huge breakthrough yesterday! All the values have been studied and have been shown to be harmless to the human body, with no side effects. Now we’re just short of a mouse experiment.”
Chu residence, study.
Several white coats from the laboratory came to report on the progress and have a detailed discussion. They placed a stack of data in front of Chu Chuanbai, their expressions serious, but their eyes revealed a passion for this research.
These people were basically all Alphas.
The difference between them and Chu Chuanbai was that they were Alphas with mediocre mental power.
They couldn’t suppress anyone, and were often attacked by others with pheromones. Even though they were capable and smart, because of their mediocre mental power, even the lowest-level Alphas in society could attack them with pheromones.
They were fed up.
No matter how many books you read, no matter how smart you were, you couldn’t compare to a pheromone, right? Then no one should have them.
So when Chu Chuanbai was secretly looking for researchers a few years ago, the few of them decisively left their current laboratory and joined this project.
A world with no ABO, only male and female.
How wonderful would that be?
No one would be able to mess around with pheromones anymore.
The white coats rubbed their hands and turned their heads to see Chu Chuanbai staring at the file, not knowing what he was thinking.
Speaking of which, Chu Chuanbai was also a powerful Alpha.
But this project was started by him.
They actually didn’t quite understand Chu Chuanbai’s purpose in doing this.
And Chu Chuanbai naturally would not waste his breath on a meaningless explanation, let alone to an irrelevant person. Chu Chuanbai took off his glasses, put down the file, and said, “My susceptibility period is in two weeks.”
The white coats were stunned for a moment, not understanding what he was saying this for.
“In two weeks, I’ll do it.” Chu Chuanbai lowered his eyes and folded his glasses.
The study was only lit by a dim yellow table lamp, and his brow was flickering in this faint halo. “In a while, I’ll contact the people above. You go and inform the publicity department. We can start to build momentum.”
The white coats didn’t react for a long time.
What did he mean, he would do it in two weeks?
Someone couldn’t believe it and asked cautiously, “You mean, you’ll be the first to be experimented on?”
Chu Chuanbai: “Mm.”
“How can that be!” The white coats were immediately anxious. “What if it fails, what if there are side effects…”
Who would fund this project!
Chu Chuanbai stood up and said, “Then in the remaining three weeks, you guys should study it carefully. Alright, let’s go.”
The white coats: “…”
They really couldn’t understand.
They were also Alphas. How could this powerful Alpha’s way of thinking be so different from their ordinary Alphas?
Strange.
*
Two weeks later.
The precursor to Chu Chuanbai’s susceptibility period was always very obvious.
He didn’t take the initiative to mention it, but Shu He could still feel the restlessness of his susceptibility period. This feeling was hard to describe. It was just that when he was sitting next to this person, it was as if his emotions were also affected by that invisible ripple.
Shu He sat for half a day, his heart beating faster and faster. Finally, under the inexplicable pressure, he directly moved to the corner of the sofa, his slender figure leaning lightly against a corner.
Shu He turned his head and found that Chu Chuanbai was looking at him, so he pursed his lips and after a long time, he managed to say, “…Is your susceptibility period here?”
Chu Chuanbai was stunned for a moment.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at himself, as if he hadn’t even noticed. “Is it?”
“I feel it, but I’m not very sure.” Shu He pulled a pillow into his arms and looked at him with wide eyes, and said in a small voice, “You should go get an inhibitor shot, and then hide in your room and don’t come out, especially…”
“Especially don’t open your door in the middle of the night?”
Shu He’s mouth closed, and his small dimples were distinct as he turned his face away. His lashes fluttered violently. Chu Chuanbai watched, and his voice was introverted and gentle, and he said with a smile, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t mark you.”
Shu He mumbled, “…Then you can’t mark me even if you want to.”
