Lin Mian never expected to be so unlucky. She had just stepped out of the elevator and hadn't even left the building lobby when she was grabbed.

The people who caught her happened to be the two betas who were in charge of guarding the elevator that day.

The two men recognized Lin Mian at a glance and immediately pinned her down.

Lin Mian tried to fight back and knocked one of them down, but unfortunately she was captured by the other.

With her wrists tied again, the two dragged Lin Mian to the nearby lounge and threw her on the ground.

"You're quite the runner. Of all the omegas we've transported, you're the first to escape."

Another person said, "You've been running for so long, it's been over half a month. You haven't been hiding in this building the whole time, have you?"

Lin Mian did not answer; she moved her wrist, trying to fight for her life.

"I can give you money, just let me go. So many days have passed, just pretend you never saw me, okay?"

"Oh, how much money do you have?" one of them asked.

Lin Mian said, "If you let me go, I'll give you all my money."

The other man sneered, "We won't let you go. All your money is ours, and so is you..."

He squatted down in front of Lin Mian, his gaze malicious, sweeping lewdly over Lin Mian's face and slender body.

"You're ours too," he said. "Once we're done with you, we'll sell you."

Lin Mian's scalp tingled, and she quickly said, "If you dare to touch me, that person won't let you off!"

She didn't know who the person these people were talking about was, but that didn't stop her from using that person's power to her advantage.

"I've been spending all my time with him lately, and he really likes me. If you dare touch me, he'll skin you alive!"

She hoped her words would frighten the two men and give her a chance to survive, but the two men just burst into laughter.

"If that important person really liked you, would they let you slink away like that?"

The person speaking grabbed Lin Mian's chin: "Don't think that just because you're good-looking you'll be liked by big shots. He wouldn't even look at a low-level omega like you."

Lin Mian retorted, "How do you know he wouldn't like me? What if he's an alpha type who prefers someone like me?"

The two men sneered again upon hearing this.

"Really? Then let us see what qualities you have that would make that person like you."

After saying that, the two reached out to Lin Mian, just then the door to the lounge was kicked open.

He Duoye's tall and imposing figure appeared at the doorway. His pheromones, cold and sharp like frost and ice blades, swept in and pressed in.

Even though those two were just betas, they instinctively felt the overwhelming pressure of the pheromones.

Their faces turned pale instantly.

Isn't that the important person?

Could this female omega really be the one he likes?

"He Duoye..." Lin Mian's eyes lit up when she saw him. She straightened up, and after feeling happy, she felt like crying.

He Duoye walked a few steps to Lin Mian's side, pulled her up, and checked her over to make sure she was not injured.

One last look at Lin Mian's bound hands.

His voice was icy as he addressed the two betas beside him: "Did you tie them up?"

The two men turned pale and immediately knelt down to admit their mistake. They truly had no idea that this omega was actually the person He Duoye liked.

If they had known, they wouldn't have dared to touch a single hair on Lin Mian's head.

He Duoye's eyes were icy cold. He took half a step forward, wanting to kick them, but he was afraid of scaring the timid Lin Mian. In the end, he made the two kneel on the spot.

He'll send someone to deal with Lin Mian after he's captured her.

After untying the rope around Lin Mian's wrists, He Duoye led her outside.

He Duoye had a sour face the whole way, his mood was very low, and he was full of displeasure.

Lin Mian felt uneasy. She knew He Duoye was angry that she had left without permission, but she had her reasons for leaving.

The two had walked a few steps when they encountered two women at the corner. One of them was very tall and should be a female alpha. Lin Mian couldn't help but glance at her because she looked quite similar to He Duoye.

The female alpha was also looking at her with a playful expression.

Lin Mian was wondering what was going on when the woman next to the female alpha suddenly spoke up, saying, "Xiao Ye, be gentle with your girlfriend. Don't take out your annoying temper on her."

He Duoye didn't reply, but just walked forward quickly.

Lin Mian was startled and couldn't help but ask He Duoye, "Was that... your mother?"

He Duoye remained silent. He dragged Lin Mian into the elevator and kept pulling her all the way until he brought her back home. After closing the door, he bent down and cornered Lin Mian against the wall.

He asked in a deep voice, "Are you trying to dump me?"

Lin Mian was stunned, not understanding He Duoye's meaning for a moment.

He Duoye urged, "Speak."

Lin Mian stammered, "I...I didn't..."

The word "shuai" doesn't even apply to their relationship; they didn't even have any contact.

He Duoye lowered his head slightly, his aggressive aura intensified, and his pheromones became somewhat uncontrollable, enveloping Lin Mian aggressively, just like the man himself.

"So what do you mean?" He Duoye said, "You're going to take advantage of me and then just walk away? I never thought you were such a scumbag."

Lin Mian: "..."

She finally began to vaguely understand what He Duoye meant.

With her back against the wall, Lin Mian said directly, "Wasn't last night just a one-night stand?"

He Duoye raised an eyebrow at her, as if amused by her amusement, or perhaps speechless: "One-night stand? In your eyes, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Lin Mian: "..."

Her face flushed uncontrollably, and she lowered her eyelashes to avoid He Duoye's gaze.

"But you didn't say it wasn't a one-night stand... and you didn't mark me."

He Duoye placed his palm on the back of Lin Mian's neck, and with a gentle flick of his fingertips, he encircled most of Lin Mian's neck. His palm was warm, and he gently caressed Lin Mian's glands.

"Marking is something that can happen anytime, and anyone can do it. I don't want to mark someone just because of pheromones." He gently stroked Lin Mian's neck and earlobe with his fingertips.

"Last night, I kissed you and slept with you because I like you, not because I wanted to mark you."

Lin Mian's heart skipped a beat. She blushed and looked up, unsure how to respond, when she heard He Duoye say, "Besides, you started it first last night."

"?" Lin Mian protested, "How come it's me? You kissed me first."

He Duoye said quite confidently, "If you hadn't invited me to sleep with you, I would never have gone that far."

Lin Mian retorted angrily, "When did I invite you?"

You asked me if I have a condom.

Lin Mian: "..."

That's because he kissed her first! If he hadn't kissed her so intimately, she wouldn't have... Never mind, she did have lustful thoughts last night.

He Duoye became even more self-righteous: "That's why I reluctantly agreed to date you, but you actually wanted to run away the very next day. Lin Mian, you're really irresponsible."

Lin Mian was so angry she felt dizzy. She snapped, "When did I date you? You never said you liked me!"

He Duoye then said, "The safe's combination."

Lin Mian: "..."

This guy is really good at arguing and sophistry.

Lin Mian, however, couldn't refute it.

He Duoye grabbed Lin Mian's hand: "I was originally planning to introduce you to my mother and sister to discuss our marriage, but you ran away."

Lin Mian: "..."

She tried to make sense of it: "You didn't tell me you liked me, you didn't say you wanted to date me, and you didn't propose, and I didn't say yes."

He Duoye said, "Last night was my first time."

Lin Mian: "?"

He Duoye: "You have to take responsibility, so you have to marry me."

Lin Mian blushed with anger: "Who hasn't done it before!"

He Duoye readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll take responsibility."

He pulled Lin Mian and walked outside.

Lin Mian asked, puzzled, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm taking you to meet my parents." He Duoye tightened his grip on Lin Mian's hand. "Let's have a good talk about our marriage."

This process isn't right; you've skipped too many steps!

Let's leave the proposal aside for now; we can't skip dating, right? Who jumps straight to marriage?

Lin Mian tugged at him: "Isn't this moving too fast? You haven't even confessed to me yet."

He Duoye stopped and turned to look at her.

Lin Mian's heart started racing instantly. She looked nervously at He Duoye, thinking he was about to confess his feelings...

"Didn't you say you liked me?" He Duoye asked.

Lin Mian: "..."

"But I know you like me." He leaned closer and gently kissed Lin Mian's forehead. "So I accept your confession."

Lin Mian wanted to angrily say, "I don't like you at all," but when she met He Duoye's gaze, she couldn't say the words.

Because she does indeed like He Duoye.

"and you……"

After saying just two words, He Duoye acknowledged with an "Mmm," then lowered his head and kissed Lin Mian's lips.

Between their lips and breaths, he whispered, "I like you too."

Lin Mian's eyelashes trembled, and her fingers gripped He Duoye's clothes. The next second, He Duoye took her hand in her nervous grip.

Their fingers were intertwined tightly.

"Next, we'll get engaged, then date, and finally get married, and be together for life." He took Lin Mian's hand and walked forward step by step.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on He Duoye's tall and reliable figure, and on their clasped fingers.

Lin Mian looked at it and couldn't help but laugh.

She said, "Mmm."

Then let's get engaged, date, get married, and spend the rest of our lives together.
