Opening Plot Has Eighteen Twists!

Chapter 2: Opening Plot Has Eighteen Twists!

Ningli Enterprise Building

Tenth Floor, Assistant Office

"Assistant Lin, Assistant Lin!"

Lin Su snapped back to his senses, a professional smile appearing on his lips. "What is it?"

The girl looked a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long while before finally speaking. "C-Can you help me deliver this document to President Gu?"

Seeing Lin Su's confusion, she hurriedly explained, "I'm not slacking off, I swear!"

He gently lowered the girl's hand, his peach-blossom eyes smiling. "No need for that. Tell me the reason."

Lin Su's principle was to deal with matters, not people. He could help, provided she gave him a reason.

The girl looked around. Only after confirming no one was nearby—especially that the person inside had made no movement—did she lean closer and whisper, "You haven't been here these past few days, so you don't know."

The smile at Lin Su's lips froze, though it vanished in an instant. The girl beside him did not notice.

"President Gu has been in a terrible mood these past few days. Three whole days!" She held up three fingers, her face full of misery. "He scolded me eight times. It was terrifying!"

Covering her mouth, she pointed in a certain direction and said mysteriously, "The planning department manager had it the worst. He got scolded ten times. Hehe, even more than me."

This girl certainly knew how to find joy amid suffering.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with this document. I'll guarantee it with my life."

Lin Su's mouth twitched. No need for that!

"I'm just afraid President Gu will open his mouth." The lingering fear on her face showed that she had truly been badly frightened.

But things were awkward between him and Gu Lin as well.

Seeing his expression soften slightly, the girl pleaded, "Please, please! My sensitive period is coming up soon. Being scared is one thing, but his aura is just too powerful. I'm really afraid!"

An omega's sensitive period did indeed require attention.

"Fine."

The girl was overjoyed and tightly clasped Lin Su's hand. "Thank you so much! I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat!"

Lin Su smiled softly. "Then milk tea, half sugar. Thank you."

The girl bowed deeply in gratitude, made an OK sign, and turned to leave.

Holding the documents, Lin Su took a deep breath. His fingers unconsciously touched the back of his neck, where there was a tiny raised bump.

He took another deep breath, finally gathered his courage, and knocked on the door.

"Come in," said a familiar, indifferent voice.

Steady. Working under a domineering male lead means you have to be mentally tough!

The hand holding the fountain pen paused. Gu Lin lifted his eyes and saw that the person who had come was indeed his own special assistant.

"President Gu, these are your documents." Wearing a standard smile, Lin Su placed the documents on the desk as usual and turned to leave.

Perfect. As expected of me—I'm just that amazing!

Gu Lin said in a deep voice, "Stop."

Assistant Lin's back visibly stiffened, and Gu Lin took in every subtle movement.

As footsteps approached from behind, Lin Su finally composed himself. He turned around and feigned confusion. "Is there anything else, President Gu?"

Say no, hurry up and say no!

"Yes."

Gu Lin's thin lips pressed together slightly. Sitting upright on the sofa, dressed in a pure black suit that exuded abstinence, he leaned back against it with casual indifference. His right leg was crossed over his left, making him appear both noble and aloof.

Whoa, that kingly aura is coming out. As cannon fodder, I'm trembling in fear.

Gu Lin's long fingers paused slightly. He recalled their first meeting. Lin Su had been handsome and youthful, gentle in temperament yet principled, with great potential. Three years had passed, and his work ability and way of handling matters remained as outstanding as ever.

Who would have thought that Assistant Lin, who appeared approachable and gentle, was actually such a chatterbox in private?

The contrast was indeed immense. Even greater was the contrast when Gu Lin thought of that night, and the sweet fragrance of roses.

At the thought, his Adam's apple bobbed. He truly had been different from the usual Assistant Lin.

"Sit."

Lin Su felt helpless upon hearing this, but he nodded. His elegant, composed manner truly made people feel favorably toward him.

The water in the cup had already run out. Gu Lin set it down, feeling his throat moisten considerably. "Have you considered it?"

How could I even dare to think about it? This is the female lead's part. Even thinking about it is a crime for cannon fodder!

Female lead? Cannon fodder? Part? What did those mean?

"President Gu, I went to the hospital these past few days. The doctor said that this temporary mark would not have much of an effect, so personally, I don't think this is necessary." His tone was calm and his reasoning clear. The implication was a refusal.

"You refuse?"

What nonsense! Even if I got pinned down for one night, I'm still straight, okay!

Who wants to be your long-term sex partner? Go find the little white flower female lead you're ninety percent compatible with!

Once again, there were words he could not understand. Gu Lin's gaze darkened slightly. His instincts told him to keep Lin Su by his side.

Gu Lin raised a brow and pushed the document on the tea table toward him. His voice was deep and magnetic, like mellow wine. "Take a look."

The words written on it were unmistakable: Pheromone Compatibility Analysis.

Feeling that something was very wrong, Lin Su kept his expression steady as he opened it, only to hear the man's voice beside him.

"After that night, I went to the hospital too and specifically had this done."

"The last page."

Lin Su turned the pages with trembling hands. In the lower right corner, it clearly read:

Alpha male: During susceptible period, pheromone concentration high, top-tier.

Omega male: During differentiation period, pheromone concentration high, top-tier.

Their compatibility rate was 100%.

There's a bug in this world! That's right, this has to be fake!

"There's an official seal at the bottom." Gu Lin's single sentence shattered his last fantasy!

He had really changed sex, and his compatibility with his male lead boss was off the charts!

There were three kinds of people in this world: Alpha, Beta, and Omega.

From birth, every person's pheromones would be registered with the matching center. To ensure purer new life, nationwide matching would be conducted after adulthood. The two people with the highest compatibility would be required to marry, though such matters still mainly depended on the circumstances of both parties.

After all, people with too great a disparity could not simply be forced together. The people's happiness remained the priority.

"The normal age of differentiation is eighteen. As a special case, your sensitive periods and heat cycles will be more frequent than those of ordinary omegas."

Lin Su hesitated, opening his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted.

"I'm sorry. If not for the sudden incident a few days ago, suppressants could indeed have supported you until you met an Alpha you liked."

"After differentiation, once you are marked by an Alpha with extremely high compatibility, your body will automatically reject suppressants and other people."

That was why he wanted to keep Lin Su by his side. One was constrained by family, the other by physiology.

Their union would solve everything once and for all.

Heavens, save me! Where's the female lead? Where's that crazy little white flower? Hurry up and move the plot along!

I only want to finish the cannon fodder plot and lie flat as a useless salted fish. This plot is even twistier than a mountain road!

Refuse? I heard an omega's heat cycle is hard to endure. Accept? Would I get written out by the female lead's other husbands?

Gu Lin is the little white flower's favorite. If I get involved...

A sweet harem novel would turn directly into a tragic romance? Assistant = safe and healthy bottom line; contract ex-wife = disabled and dead ending.

"I..."

"But don't worry. Even in a marriage without love, things like extramarital affairs naturally will not exist."
