When Mo Lingqiu and Jiang Chenming arrived at the cafe, Fan Nian was sitting on a seat in the corner covering his nape.

The elegant mixture of a strong rose fragrance and a cold wine aroma reached their noses. The rose scent came from Fan Nian’s pheromones.

“Here.” Mo Lingqiu handed him the inhibitor.

Jiang Chenming stood far away, not daring to go near them, but the expression on his face was incomprehensible.

Fan Nian gratefully took the inhibitor and drank it all in one gulp. “Thank you.”

“You’ve been marked?” Mo Lingqiu frowned. The wine aroma seemed very familiar.

“…En, temporarily marked. I’m alright.” Fan Nian’s eyes were a little evasive.

Jiang Chenming stared at him for a moment before taking out his cell phone to call Jiang Junshen. He took a while to answer, and, when he did, his voice was a bit hoarse.

“Hello, Chenming.”

“Brother, where are you?” Perceptive, Jiang Chenming quickly noticed something was off and took a step outside.

“…I’m at the office.”

“Brother, I saw Dr. Fan.” Jiang Chenming didn’t even need to think deeply to know that Jiang Junshen was lying.

On the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence until Jiang Chenming said, “Dr. Fan almost went into heat. Brother, did you…”

“Where is he?” Jiang Junshen asked through clenched teeth.

The suspicions in Jiang Chenming’s mind were gradually confirmed. “He’s fine now, and Teacher Mo is keeping him company. There’s something else I’d rather ask…Did the two of you have dinner together today?”

“…En,” Jiang Junshen slowly replied after hearing that Fan Nian was okay.

“Did you guys know each other before this?” Jiang Chenming more or less knew what his brother’s temperament was like. There were only two types of people who could make his brother voluntarily go out for dinner: those who he had to cooperate with for work and those who he associated with in his personal life. It was obvious, he guessed, that Fan Nian was in the latter group.

Jiang Junshen didn’t say anything, clearly not wanting to answer the question.

Jiang Chenming fell silent for a moment before he said, “Forced markings have effects for Omegas.”

“…I know.” Jiang Junshen grinded his back teeth together—he could taste a drop of blood, mixed with the faint scent of roses.

“Brother, please apologise to Dr. Fan when you have the chance to, or else Teacher Mo will be angry.” Jiang Chenming didn’t want to see Mo Lingqiu angry.

“En.” Jiang Junshen once again asked where Fan Nian was before he hung up the phone, but Jiang Chenming kept his mouth shut and didn’t say anything. Jiang Junshen could only give up and end the call.

Jiang Chenming put his phone away and reentered the cafe. Fan Nian had calmed down, and Mo Lingqiu was sitting in front of him with a serious expression, trying to ask him what had happened.

Fan Nian bit his lower lip and refused to tell him. “It’s okay, I can fix it by myself.”

“If you need to fix it, then why did you get marked? Who did you meet with today?”

Fan Nian couldn’t say that it was the blind date he’d introduced him to. Moreover, he and Jiang Junshen were otherwise involved and he couldn’t explain it all at once.
