What the Doctor Said During the Visit

The hospital parking lot charged fifteen yuan an hour.

When Wan Fuqi drove Li Mao out of the parking lot, the fee displayed as the barrier lifted was sixty yuan.

It was even twice as expensive as the specialist registration fee Li Mao had paid today.

After leaving the hospital gates, Wan Fuqi was still clicking his tongue with lingering regret.

"Damn, no wonder darling was so eager at first. This really is more exciting than the usual setting. How about we indulge your preferences more often from now on?"

The naturally proud and unruly Alpha had been pinned beneath him, terrified that someone might discover his most humiliating side, and for once, had completely lost his composure.

Covering his mouth, biting down on his lips, his tear-filled eyes held both pleading and defiance.

Tears rolled freely down that beautiful face that haunted Wan Fuqi's dreams, streaking it with wet trails.

No matter how Wan Fuqi toyed with him, he obediently went along with it, afraid that if he was pushed too far, he would be unable to suppress his cries and draw attention.

Every expression on his face had already seemed to beg in surrender, Please let me go.

Yet with that stubborn personality of his, he refused to utter even a single soft word of surrender.

The more silently the person beneath him endured, the more Wan Fuqi wanted to make him cry out loud.

The passersby outside the car windows had no idea what obscene, vividly sensual scene was unfolding inside this luxury car marked by cigarette burns.

Yet every one of them had, without exception, borne witness to their coupling.

Thinking of that, Wan Fuqi felt that dry, parched sensation climb up his throat again.

Irritably, he tugged at the collar of the shirt he had only just buttoned up, undoing two buttons to ease his heavy breathing.

Li Mao had long since grown used to Wan Fuqi's ability to twist the facts.

Now, hearing these deliberately humiliating and teasing remarks, he could not even be bothered to waste his emotions on them.

Besides, he was so exhausted that he did not even have the strength to light himself a cigarette.

Wrapped in an overcoat that did not belong to him, Li Mao leaned crookedly against the passenger seat and snorted through his nose, weakly spitting out a few words.

"Beast. Animal. Worthless dog."

Li Mao paused after each word before saying the next.

It was slow, but close enough to count as not stuttering.

Those words carried too much weight. If he stuttered even a little, they would not be enough to describe the bastardly things Wan Fuqi had done to him.

After being cursed out, Wan Fuqi only smiled more happily.

He nudged the glasses on his nose with his index finger and said with a wicked grin, "Darling, you can't put it that way. Anyone would be a little temperamental after their boyfriend came out of that kind of department, wouldn't they?"

"Fuck off," Li Mao replied succinctly.

Wan Fuqi acted as if his hearing aid had malfunctioned for a second and continued from where he had left off.

"I only did what the doctor did. You had the doctor examine the mark on your body, and I was merely inspecting the mark on my territory. The doctor could examine your body, so as your husband, naturally I should help the doctor carefully inspect the places he failed to check thoroughly. Besides, I had to make sure my mark was still there and hadn't been washed away. After all, darling, your credibility is a little poor with me. Don't you think?"

"Heh heh."

Li Mao's grin looked uglier than crying. If he had not been clutching that ten-million-yuan card, he might truly have shed tears over his ill-fated life.

"Nothing, nothing to think. I'll just, just pretend a dog mounted me earlier."

Li Mao burrowed his face deeper into the coat. The only part exposed was his pair of large, slightly red and swollen eyes from crying, and he would not spare Wan Fuqi even a glance.

Seeing that the little stutter's reaction was about to hit rock bottom and rebound, Wan Fuqi tactfully stopped provoking him. Instead, he freed one hand, slipped it beneath the coat covering Li Mao, and held the little stutter's hand, which had turned slightly cool from exhaustion.

Softening his tone to ease the atmosphere, he said, "I was originally going to ask you out on a date..."

Wan Fuqi paused, quickly glanced at the back of Li Mao's head turned away from him, then returned his attention to the road.

"But it seems like you can't keep dating now. Why do I feel like your stamina is getting worse and worse? It was only twice. At Green Woods Hotel, we both took drugs, and you weren't exhausted like this."

"Isn't an Alpha supposed to be physically strong? If you can't handle two times, how are you supposed to mark an Omega?"

Wan Fuqi seemed to think of something and gave a few soft chuckles.

"Darling, being your Omega might not be that blissful."

Even though Li Mao had resolved not to pay attention to this man's muttering, he could not stand Wan Fuqi attacking his dignity as an Alpha.

He shook off Wan Fuqi's hand and loudly denied it, "Bull, bullshit! Take your fucking pants off! Let me, let me try. I guarantee I'll make you cry for your mommy and daddy!"

Wan Fuqi casually returned that hand, having completed its warming mission, to the steering wheel.

He replied, "Didn't I just put my pants back on? And it didn't seem like I was the one crying for my mommy and daddy."

Li Mao huffed angrily twice, looking as though he were about to give Wan Fuqi a vicious retort. Yet for some reason, he deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped listlessly back into his seat.

The lingering scent of tuberose on the coat temporarily numbed his aching body.

Wan Fuqi had not been wrong.

The doctor's words during the appointment replayed in his mind.

"Based on previous cases, Alphas who have been permanently marked by an Enigma generally end up becoming that Enigma's exclusive Omega. Due to reproductive needs, an Alpha's body will gradually transform toward that of an Omega in every physiological aspect. In other words, after half a year, you will completely become an Alpha whose indicators are no different from an Omega. You may even meet the requirements to alter the secondary gender on your identity records. At that time, you can apply to the government to change your secondary gender. And I need to tell you that this transformation is irreversible."

His stamina had indeed begun to decline. His dependence on Wan Fuqi's pheromones was rising, and even his emotions had become sensitive and fragile.

Beneath the coat, Li Mao tightly clenched the hospital examination report.

There was actually nothing on it, only a few routine test indicators.

But that alone was enough for him to regard it as a countdown to destruction.

An exclusive Omega.

Keep dreaming.

No amount of money could make him take that job.

Just as Li Mao silently made up his mind about something, Wan Fuqi suddenly suggested, "How about you move in with me starting tonight?"

With his face buried in the coat, Li Mao gave a muffled "Mm."

"Wh-whatever."
