CHAPTER 11 : SCENT

That unusual morning made Ruoye get a headache. Sitting together with Jiangli in the same car made him feel uncomfortable but he had no choice since they're going in the same location.

He massaged his temple, his head had been aching the moment he saw Jiangli and he had been smelling this kind of strange scent that he couldn't even trace the source but upon sitting in the car, it was stronger and more irritable.

He frowned and turned to Jiangli, "What kind of perfume are you wearing?" he was a bit angry

Jiangli who was reading some documents regarding about a deal turned to him, "Perfume?" he smiled, "I'm not fond of wearing any perfume."

That made Ruoye squint his brows, but he was sure that this strange scent is coming from him but since the man isn't good to ask about anything, he turned away signaling to end the conversation.

He turned to see through the car window when he felt someone leaned towards the crevice of his neck.

His eyes shot wide open seeing Jiangli seemingly sniffing his neck, "You..." he lifted his hand to push him but Jiangli caught it effortlessly.

He buried his nose on Ruoye's neck just to sniff him deeply. Ruoye flushed red and was cursing him nonstop.

The driver could only avert his gaze from the mirror which was clearly reflecting the two.

Jiangli then withdrew his face and stared at Ruoye's reddened face. "You're so girly, I could still smell this faint but sweet fragrance coming from you." he said

This time, Ruoye reddened, "I'm not wearing any perfume." he said coldly

Jiangli smirked and went back to sit on his previous position, he fixed his coat as they finally entered the Fargon industrial area.

He said, "I'm not talking about a perfume but your natural scent."

"What..." Ruoye was cut off when the car stopped right infront of a huge, tall building. It's the main building of Fargon industry.

Several bodyguards in black suit were waiting for them together.

They got off and was greeted by the Fargon representative.

"Good day Mr. Liu, Mr. Bei."

Ruoye didn't took his surname.

"This way please." they were guided inside towards the hall where the launching event is about to start and was greeted by several influential people that was exclusively invited.

Fargon is now launching their new products, joining the car industry by their newly designed products that has more efficiency and stable function compared to the commercial ones.

At that wide hall, there are cars that were placed in corners to look at. Shining brilliantly and in varied shapes and colors.

"Mr. Liu!" someone called.

Their head turned to see the tycoon in business field, Mr. Wang.

Jiangli curve a smile, "It's been a long time no see Mr. Wang."

Mr. Wang laughed and they shook hands, "Not aging ah?" he said

"Mr. Liu!"

"Is it Mr. Liu?"

One and another, famous people came to greet him swarming around him because the young and handsome CEO was rare to see especially that fact that it's just a simple launching event.

Jiangli smiled, "I am glad seeing you all and by the way---" he turned to his side expecting to see Ruoye but that man was no longer there.

He frowned but couldn't get out from the crowd.

Ruoye already left his side the moment he took his eyes off him, he heaved a relief when he reached a corner.

Seeing Jiangli stuck in that crowd similar to buzzing bees talking nonstop, he smiled. Serves you right.

"Hello Sir." Ruoye turned to see his own secretary con my towards him.

Mierin had a presentable look compared to the normal days, she reached him, "If you told me that you'll go ahead here, you should have told me earlier." she said grumpily

Ruoye just informed her after he ate breakfast where he had no choice but to agree on Jiangli's demand.

"What's with the dog lace?" Ruoye asked seeing a black lace on her neck. It's been a trend for girls and male omegas but he found it ridiculous.

Mierin lightly punched his arm, "It's aesthetic. And I saw Mr. Liu went in together with you..." she realized something "...did you two drove here together?" she was a bit surprised since this friend of her was so stubborn, acting as an anti-Liu.

"Mm." he nodded with a disgusting expression he tried to conceal.

"Ohh~ okay, looks like... You two solved your conflict." she said remembering that scene yesterday.

She couldn't understand this two until now.

She shrugged it off and took his secretarial tablet, "We're here to supervise the products that is needed for the interceding project. Here's the data." she gave the tablet to Ruoye.

Ruoye immediately skimmed the data, scrolling down in focus while Mierin travelled her eyes around but she was targeting the beautiful figures.

There are several stunning alpha females and males that were stealing glimpse on Mr. Lius who's currently busy talking with the Fargon CEO.

But her eyes fixated on one person whose more exceptional that anyone in the hall.

She patted Ruoye in a hurried manner, "Ruoye, Ruoye, is that Xuan Xi?" she asked

Ruoye lifted his head to turn on the direction she was pointing at.

And there he saw a stunning male, an omega with his magnificent figure, he has long slender legs, fair skin that made him more alluring and a face so gentle like that of an angel. He was Xuan Xi, their super famous classmate back on their Senior Years.

Ruoye turned to her, "Did you forgot? Xuan Xi was the son of Fargon's CEO." he explained calmly

Mierin opened her mouth as she finally realize it, "Right...I totally forgot about it." Xuan Xi then studied abroad after they graduated so she couldn't recall much about him in detail.

"But now seeing him again up close, I can't help but to conclude that he had features somewhat similar to Lin." she said

Ruoye didn't respond.

"Hey look!" Mierin was tugging his cloth again

"What is it this time?" Ruoye resumed reading and when he saw the scene she's pointing, he also can't help but to observe.

Mr. Liu was talking to the Fargon's CEO when the CEO called for his son which was Xuan Xi. They are now shaking hands, smiling sweetly to each other.

"That's so..." vulgar? Mierin thought

Ruoye felt something upon seeing the scene that made him frown but in the end, he just shrugged it off. He has Lin and he's already enough for him.

"I'm done reading. We should take close observations on the products that has been launched."

Mierin wanted to observe further movements from Jiangli and Xuan Xi but she still need to work.

There are people who recognized Ruoye while they were taking a look at the products some really knew him and some were faking it, trying some techniques to please Ruoye knowing the fact that he's the spouse of the infamous Jiangli.

Ruoye shook hands with one of a marketing supervisor, "...but I wonder Mr. Bei, it's been 2 years since you're married but there's still no fruit."

Mierin almost loose her hold on the tablet.

Ruoye just smiled, "We both think that it isn't necessary." he replied calmly

The man nodded, "Well, most of business couple think that way." He laughed

He then whispered close to Ruoye, "But watch out, everyone is currently talking how Mr. Liu and Fargon's son interact well. Some were even saying that they suit each other well."

Ruoye frowned but was still disturbed how close the man was, he was about to step back to avoid him when suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him backwards.

His back landed on a sturdy chest.

Ruoye lifted his head just to see Jiangli.

"May I ask what business does Mr. Han has to my wife?" he asked in a calm voice but it is clear on his tone that he was demanding an answer.
