65: The Noble Young Master's Benefactor 7

Lu Zhan did not take it, looking at Song Shu gently.

"You know my taste. Since it's my first time here, you should do it. I trust you."

Song Shu knew that Lu Zhan didn't mean anything else by his words, but the phrase "I trust you" still made his heart tremble inevitably. However, on the surface, he maintained the appearance of a sincere friend, revealing nothing.

"Mm, then I'll keep an eye on it."

Lu Zhan nodded in acknowledgment. Song Shu raised his hand to summon the waiter, flipped through the menu, and quickly ordered a few items. The waiter took the order and left shortly after.

Afterward, the two of them chatted for a while with a slightly intimate demeanor. Lu Zhan picked a few things he had encountered abroad to share casually with Song Shu, and the other man occasionally spoke about his own experiences over the past three years.

One was handsome and refined, with a touch of gentleness on his face; the other was delicate, with starlight sparkling in his eyes. The atmosphere between them was particularly warm and peaceful.

When the dishes were mostly served, the two began to eat. Just like in their university days, Song Shu thoughtfully took care of Lu Zhan, placing everything he thought matched Lu Zhan's taste in front of him one by one.

If he saw Lu Zhan take a couple of bites and then stop, he would immediately move the dish further away. In short, Lu Zhan's dining experience was as comfortable as ever.

Throughout the whole process, there was suddenly a sense that Lu Zhan was the delicate Omega who needed to be protected and cared for.

Not far from where Lu Zhan and the other were, at a slightly hidden table, a young man with very ordinary clothes and appearance would occasionally pick up his phone to discreetly record these scenes.

Lu Zhan and Song Shu were completely unaware of this. For one thing, they probably didn't think anyone would do such a boring thing.

Secondly, although Song Shu had some status now, because Lu Zhan disliked luxury, he had specifically chosen this inconspicuous but somewhat unique restaurant, and since they had come alone, he really didn't think it would attract anyone's attention.

During this reunion after a long separation, the two talked happily and settled that in a few days, Lu Zhan would officially join Song Shu's company as an investment consultant.

Happy times always pass quickly; before they knew it, the sky had already darkened.

Lu Zhan felt it was about time and planned to head back. Anyway, there would be plenty of time in the future, and since they would be working together, there would be plenty of opportunities to meet and spend time together.

"Song Shu, let's stop here for today. See you at the company in a few days."

The soft words brushed past his ears, and Song Shu nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

The two walked out of the restaurant one after the other, and Song Shu watched Lu Zhan's figure disappear from sight.

His secret crush of many years suddenly became difficult to suppress. Lu Zhan was back and didn't plan on leaving. He was still single, and he wasn't young anymore; he needed an Omega by his side to soothe his annual rut.

Thinking of this, the stirrings in his heart could not calm down for a long time. Song Shu suddenly wanted to try; he really wanted to take that step. He didn't want to be just friends with Lu Zhan forever.

Thinking to himself, he slowly drove away.

After they left, a person with very ordinary clothes and appearance also followed closely behind and left the restaurant. Looking at the direction of departure, it vaguely seemed to be the same path Lu Zhan had just taken.

...

On the top floor of Mu Corporation, Mu Lin was handling today's affairs. His cold face carried a touch of majesty, and his posture was as elegant and noble as ever.

However, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had something troubling him. His peripheral vision kept subconsciously drifting toward the phone on the side, not knowing what he was expecting or waiting for.

Ding... dong... A series of WeChat notification sounds rang from the phone, and Mu Lin quickly picked it up to check.

Those photos were all of Lu Zhan and another delicate and good-looking Omega. Lu Zhan's expression was rarely so gentle, and the two were in an extremely intimate and harmonious posture, as if a third person couldn't wedge themselves in.

There was also the love vaguely revealed in the Omega's eyes, which was extremely blinding. Seeing it, Mu Lin wished he could tear that Omega apart. How dare he? A brat who didn't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth actually dared to try and poach his partner.

The jealous rage in his heart could not be suppressed. Lu Zhan's gentleness used to belong exclusively to him. He really wanted to take action against the Omega directly; it would be best if he disappeared completely.

But thinking that Lu Zhan would dislike it, he reluctantly dismissed the thought.

He would absolutely not sit idly by and watch Lu Zhan be seduced away by this Omega. He wanted everyone in the Magic City to know that Lu Zhan was his, Mu Lin's. No one else could even think of getting close, otherwise, they would bear the consequences.

Mu Lin barely managed to restrain the violent, storm-brewing anger he had just felt and raised his hand to press the intercom.

In a short while, Assistant Li pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes filled with respect, his posture deferential.

"Chairman Mu, is there something you need?"

Mu Lin's complexion had not yet fully recovered, and a hint of malice was vaguely visible, his eyes even deeper than usual.

"In two days, host a banquet. My partner has returned, and I will introduce him to everyone then."

Assistant Li was shocked, his eyes showing a touch of disbelief, but his excellent professionalism allowed him to quickly adjust his mindset and note down Chairman Mu's instructions.

Mu Lin waved his hand to signal, and Assistant Li immediately understood, walking out to make arrangements. Two days was truly a bit tight—venue decoration, guest list...

Mu Lin picked up the phone again, looking at every photo as if self-torturing. His fingers stroked Lu Zhan's face extremely gently; even if this gentleness wasn't because of him, he still wanted to look at it a few more times.

A WeChat message came in. "Boss, Mr. Lu has arrived home. Should we continue?"

Mu Lin moved away from the photos and swiped to the chat interface, his long fingers tapping lightly. "Continue. Has that Omega's identity been found?"

The other party replied very quickly, and in a short while, sent over the data files.

After Mu Lin opened and finished reading them, a somewhat ambiguous smile overflowed onto his face, his eyes filled with anger.

This Song Shu obviously had a secret crush on Lu Zhan. For years, he had been using the name of friendship to approach him time and time again, deluding himself into walking into Lu Zhan's heart. To seduce his Alpha like this, he was truly shameless.

Mu Lin grabbed his keys and left Mu Corporation directly, heading in the direction of Lu Zhan's new home.

When the doorbell rang, Lu Zhan had just come out of the bathroom, wearing only a simple bathrobe. A patch of porcelain-white skin was exposed on his chest, and his hair was damp, still dripping water, which was quite sexy and seductive.

Without looking closely, Lu Zhan walked over and pushed the door open. When he saw Mu Lin at the door, he felt a bit helpless, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It's so late, is there something you need?"

Mu Lin didn't expect to come at such an inopportune time, and seeing Lu Zhan like this moved him somewhat. He suddenly felt the gland at the back of his neck getting hot.

For three years, he had relied on inhibitors to get through every rut, but now it felt like he couldn't suppress it at all; he desperately wanted Lu Zhan's Pheromones.

Lu Zhan felt that Mu Lin in front of him was a bit strange. He arrived but didn't speak, just staring at him in a daze. Not wanting to deal with him, just as he was about to close the door, a powerful body squeezed into the room, moving so quickly that it left Lu Zhan no time to react, and then he closed the door behind him.
