Does He Treat Little Treasure Poorly?

Wan Ying quietly left the house and headed to the office area.

As he passed the entrance, he glanced at the infirmary beside it.

"Well, well, a rare visitor. What brings you to my place?"

That irritating voice rang out.

Wan Ying suppressed his impatience and looked over the medicines on the counter. "Omega has pheromone disorder. How should it be treated?"

Xu Gu slipped one hand into his white coat and took a box of medicine from the rows of cabinets. "Medicine is actually useless. It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If you really want him to feel better, permanently mark him. He should have pheromones he likes."

"Why are you so concerned? Is it that Omega from last time?"

"Wan Ying, this isn't like you. Since when did you care about anyone?"

"You haven't marked him, so I guess you don't like him that much. Then don't provoke him. Pheromone disorder is basically difficult to cure completely, and there's no telling when it might flare up. When it does, he'll need his partner to soothe him. Your position means you're destined not to be able to do that."

Separated by a cabinet.

Xu Gu's expression turned serious. "Besides, treating pheromone disorder requires extremely high compatibility. After a lifelong mark, he'll be affected more deeply by your pheromones. If he can't receive comfort, he'll go mad. No Alpha can accept their Omega becoming paranoid and suspicious."

"Take my advice. An Omega like that isn't suitable for you. He's too delicate and sickly. He'd be a burden to you."

"An Omega whose background you can't figure out—how can you be sure he isn't a spy? A lifelong mark is a major matter. Don't act impulsively. You should listen—"

"Are you done?"

Wan Ying cut him off coldly.

"You've been a doctor for a few years, and now you think you can lecture anyone? You call him a spy, but I think you look more like one."

Xu Gu's expression stiffened, but he quickly recovered.

He could not help laughing. "Picking fights with people over an Omega? Looks like he still carries some weight in your heart."

"Wan Ying, you've changed quite a bit."

Wan Ying ignored the teasing.

He scanned the code, paid for the medicine, and left.

A smug reminder came from behind him. "You should find someone better, not a patient. An S-class Omega is no less terrifying than an Alpha when he goes mad. Can you handle that?"

Wan Ying did not stop walking. He kept going. There was no need to pay attention to useless words.

Since he was raising him, he naturally had to take responsibility.

Little Treasure was always getting sick. It had to be because he was not taking good enough care of him.

Those people understood nothing. They only knew how to consider problems from a certain angle.

Bian He had never been a burden.

Bian He liked relying on him and never caused him trouble.

Even when he felt terribly unwell, he would hide away and endure the pain alone, afraid of causing him any trouble.

Little Treasure was so well-behaved. How could he not protect him properly?

Back at the office.

The district chief called him to a meeting.

Their team had brought back quite a lot of supplies.

The district chief was so happy he could barely close his mouth, claiming he was handing out bonuses.

If Wan Ying had relied on this job alone to make a living, he would have starved to death.

What was the use of all those generous allowances? Each level took a cut, leaving very little behind.

He did not rely on this to make money.

He took the bonus and left the office.

The other team members, however, looked delighted.

"Why was the district chief so generous this time? He actually gave everyone two hundred thousand gold coins. Did we really generate that much profit?"

"I thought even if the bureau chief was generous, it wouldn't be more than one hundred thousand. Looks like I underestimated the district chief."

"Hehe, I was even harsher than you. I figured fifty thousand at most."

"Are any of you going to transfer money? I'm planning to send some to my parents and save the rest for marrying a wife someday."

"I am, I am. My family has been saying we don't have enough money to spend."

"Oh, right, Chief. I'm paying you back the money I borrowed last time."

Wan Ying walked ahead of them. "No need. Keep it and spend it yourself."

One of the teammates hurried up to catch him. "How can that be? One thing is one thing. If you borrow, you repay. That way, borrowing again won't be hard. Here."

As he spoke, he took out part of the money and stuffed it into Wan Ying's arms.

"You're really something. You don't even want money?"

His teammates were straightforward people. They were much easier to get along with.

"I do want it. I'm just afraid the Omega at home won't approve. You're not alone anymore. You have to think about the future."

Wan Ying's gaze paused slightly as he thought of Bian He.

For a moment, he said nothing.

That successfully gave his teammates the wrong idea.

"Look at the chief's expression! When has he ever looked that gentle before?"

"Who could he be thinking about? So hard to guess."

"Chief, since there's nothing going on today, how about we go have a meal? Bring your Omega along."

"Yeah, let's eat out. It's rare for us to have this much money. We have to live it up for once and reward ourselves properly."

"Let's go, let's go! We'll head to the chief's place together and bring his beautiful Omega along."

The big, burly men acted as soon as they said it and took the lead.

Wan Ying was speechless and immediately killed the idea. "He hasn't been feeling well lately. We'll get together another day."

He had thought saying that would make them drop the matter.

"What? He's unwell? Chief, how can you keep letting him get sick? That's where you're wrong."

"As an outstanding Alpha, you have to take extra good care of your Omega and cherish him properly. You can't be careless."

"If you drive your partner away, it'll be hard to find another Omega as pretty as him."

The group talked over one another as they headed toward his home.

Wan Ying followed behind the crowd.

He wondered whether Bian He was up yet. He could not let these people see him looking disheveled.

Like at that auction, when he wore those clothes and attracted so many Alphas...

That would make Wan Ying want to gouge out all those bastards' eyes.

The person walking in front slowed down and rubbed the back of his neck. "Hiss... why does my back suddenly feel so cold?"

"Me too. A chill came out of nowhere. It feels like someone's watching us."

Hearing that, the thick-nerved He Xiaowu immediately hugged his gold coins tight. "Damn, don't tell me some thief has set their sights on my money? Let's hurry to the bank and deposit it. Carrying it around is way too unsafe."

They happened to be passing a bank.

Each of them carried in deposits of two hundred thousand gold coins, and the bank clerks happily received them.

The freshly issued passbooks turned into strings of satisfying numbers in their hands.

That put everyone in a good mood.

They walked quickly and soon reached the foot of the apartment building.

Wan Ying reminded them, "Wait here. I'll go up and take a look. If he really isn't feeling well..."

Bian He's feelings mattered most.

He took the elevator upstairs.

When he pushed open the door, he immediately saw the person sitting in the living room.

His ears were sharp. He turned his head to look over before Wan Ying could say anything.

"What did you go out for, Brother? Didn't you say you weren't working today?"

Little Treasure looked adorable with the Bite Guard on.

Wan Ying touched the medicine box in his pocket. "I went back to collect my pay. A few of my teammates want to have a meal together. Do you want to go?"

He walked over and rubbed his head. "I also stopped by the infirmary for medicine. They said this helps treat pheromone disorder. Give it a try."

Bian He looked at the medicine box in his hand, his brows tightly furrowed. "Brother, can I not take medicine? Medicine is too bitter. It doesn't taste good at all."

Wan Ying sighed helplessly. "Then can you stop getting sick? Sick Little Treasure isn't cute at all."
