I'd act more spineless than anyone

"Luo, Luo what?"

Luo Ming, who had never been insulted before, froze mid-smile and stared at Chen Bei in disbelief.

The livestream chat dissolved into laughter.

[Yep, you heard right. He didn't call you Second Young Master. He called you Ergou!]

[That sounds so friendly! It suddenly reminded me that the alpha guy next door in my home village was also called Ergou!]

[Also, what kind of pheromones smell like bankruptcy?! I'm laughing my head off!]

[Wait, is nobody curious about Assistant Chen's pheromones? Why does he think other people can't smell them?]

[Could he have had Pheromones removal surgery? Does that mean he doesn't want to be marked?!]

[That surgery is seriously dangerous. It could damage your health if it goes wrong. Surely Assistant Chen wouldn't go that far?!]

While Ergou was still stunned, Chen Bei had already strode away.

Watching that slender, tall figure retreat, Luo Ming gradually pressed his lips into a straight line.

Suddenly, he sniffed the air all around him, muttering, "What exactly does he smell like?"

His wickedly seductive, wildly arrogant image instantly crumbled.

[Hahaha, fuck! No wonder he called him Ergou. It fits way too well!]

[Sorry, even though Second Young Master Luo looks a little creepy right now, his face still has me sold.]

[Exactly! That interaction with Assistant Chen just now looked so gorgeous. The chemistry came naturally!]

[Ship, ship, ship! Shipping everything just keeps my diet balanced!]

Steward Wu brought Qin Yufan to the basement storeroom.

Although the villa was cleaned frequently, few people set foot in the basement storeroom.

So when the door opened, a stale, rotten smell mixed with dust hit them in the face.

The omega, who had always been pampered, immediately covered his nose and mouth in disgust. "How could anyone possibly stay here?!"

Steward Wu said gently, "There's a single bed inside where you can rest."

"Who knows whether that bed is dirty? How long has it been since the bedding was changed and washed?" Qin Yufan's expression was fierce. "Steward Wu, is this how you treat guests?"

The Follow-Cam PD beside him leaned forward and panned over all the basement's furnishings, unable to resist saying, "It's actually pretty clean. It's just been a long time since..."

"What do you know?!" Qin Yufan shot him a sidelong look. "I have allergies, and dust is one of my allergens!"

Steward Wu still smiled good-naturedly. "There are suppressants and Scent-blocking Patches in the drawer beside the bed. We've also prepared a spray specifically for killing germs and mites. We guarantee you won't have an allergic reaction."

"Besides, Young Master Yufan, this is a punishment to begin with. If you have any complaints, you may ask Assistant Chen for help."

"Assistant Chen will pass them on to Old Luo."

At those words, Qin Yufan's face immediately fell.

It wasn't as though he didn't know how strict Old Luo was. He had already blown up in the dining room earlier. Causing more trouble now would be no different from making himself look bad in front of him.

He certainly didn't want to leave Old Luo with a bad impression.

At that thought, Qin Yufan gave a cold laugh. "Steward Wu, so you've learned to threaten people too?"

That Assistant Chen has been a bad influence on all of them!

"I wouldn't dare." Steward Wu lowered his head slightly. "I'm merely stating the facts."

"Fine, I'll stay. It's only one night, isn't it?" Qin Yufan curled his lip. "I'm going upstairs to get my things."

With that, he left without looking back.

The PD hurried after him, while Steward Wu shook his head helplessly and closed the basement storeroom door again.

[Biluochun Classmate, weren't you the one who insisted on taking the punishment for your Luo Chen? Why are you unhappy about it now?!]

[Being unhappy is one thing, but taking it out on other people?!]

[This is what an omega from a top family is like? And he's supposed to be a violinist? Where's that artistic air?]

[You people above sure have it easy judging from the sidelines, huh? Didn't you hear Yufan say he has allergies? Is he not allowed to object?]

[Don't take on a job you don't have the skills for. Don't you understand that?]

[Exactly. Stop showing off when you can't handle it!]

Finally away from the idiots and alone, Meng Han lay down on the big bed, relaxed.

He rolled from one side to the other, then back again, before burying his head contentedly in a pillow.

The bed in the company dorm was as hard as it could possibly be.

Every morning, he woke up feeling as though someone had beaten him, his back aching like hell.

Now that he had finally found a soft one, he wanted to enjoy it to the fullest.

"This mattress must cost over a hundred thousand, right? It's so comfortable," Meng Han murmured to himself, rolling onto his back with satisfaction written all over his face. "If only I could afford one someday!"

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and glanced warily toward the camera, muttering softly, "There shouldn't be anyone in my livestream, right?"

His faint voice came through the speaker. In front of the surveillance screen, Luo Chen sneered. "Idiot."

One mustn't forget that this was Luo Villa.

Besides the cameras installed by the Production Crew, the Luo Family had a surveillance system of its own.

The cameras were installed in every corner, including the guest rooms.

They made it convenient to monitor the villa at any time.

So at that very moment, Luo Chen saw every bit of Meng Han's embarrassment.

He lazily propped up his chin, but his eyes gradually darkened as he declared with conviction, "He knows perfectly well there are cameras, yet he keeps rolling around on the bed, getting his clothes all disheveled."

"What could that be if not a way of getting my attention?!"

"Heh, does he think I'll..."

Before he could finish, a sudden bang, bang, bang came at the door.

"Who is it?!"

"Me. Assistant Chen."

The cool voice drifted through the gap in the door. Luo Chen inexplicably shuddered, then hurried to his feet, trying to turn off the surveillance feed.

The voice outside continued, "President Chen, you'd better not destroy the evidence. Otherwise, Old Luo will punish you even more severely."

Luo Chen withdrew his hand, turned, and opened the door with a flushed face. "Assistant Chen, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

"Help you clean up your bedroom environment, President Chen."

Chen Bei waved a hand, and the servants immediately swarmed in, using both hands to dismantle the surveillance screens.

A few minutes later, the desk in the suite had been stripped bare. Luo Chen's face went from red to black. "Assistant Chen, sooner or later, you'll be on your knees apologizing to me!"

[Haha, what now? He can't secretly watch people to satisfy his twisted tastes anymore. President Chen is going to lose it!]

[Paranoid, manic, arrogant, coercive. President Chen really has collected every buff!]

[How strange. Why does this variety show feel more and more like a domineering CEO novel I've read?]

Old Luo Third and Old Luo Fourth stood in the doorway watching the spectacle. Seeing Chen Bei walk toward them, they couldn't help saying, "Assistant Chen, you-"

But the moment they opened their mouths, Chen Bei glanced sideways and cut them off with a sneer. "Don't worry, young masters. I'm here to back Meng Han up, not to uphold justice."

Old Luo Third: "..."

Old Luo Fourth: "..."

And Meng Han, who had just learned he had been spied on: "..."

A wave of emotion instantly rose within him, and tears welled in his eyes. "Assistant Chen, you-"

Chen Bei turned and cut short his emotional outpouring. "No need to be moved. I'm not a good person."

If it weren't for the Truth-Telling System, I'd act more spineless than anyone.
