Jiang Ming suddenly became alert.

"What is that scent on your body?"

Qiu Jin took a deep breath and showed a slightly teasing smile. He then took out a decorative handkerchief from his breast pocket.

"I'm sorry, this was gifted by an omega. I accidentally let Jiang-laoshi smell it."

Hearing this, the usual relaxed smile on Jiang Ming's face disappeared, and his eyes became sharp.

"Who gave it to you?"

Qiu Jin was not expecting the other party to keep asking questions, so he could only speak nonsense.

"Just... just someone I met on the road. I don't know them at all."

Jiang Ming's eyes fell on the back of Qiu Jin's neck. When he looked at the place where the gland was supposed to be, he noticed that the wing-collar shirt Qiu Jin was wearing today had a slightly higher collar than a shirt with an ordinary collar, as if there was nothing abnormal.

It was almost impossible for Qiu Jin to hold on any longer, as the surging inside his body was boiling over in waves. Although he had not yet reached the stage of estrus, the inhibitor bracelet and the gland patch were barely holding back his scent.

At this moment, a group of people in suits and leather shoes were walking over in their direction, and Qiu Jin immediately saw Ji Shenxiao standing in the middle of them.

He could not afford to care about anything anymore, and immediately shouted, "Ji Shenxiao!"

Ji Shenxiao was talking with a few entrepreneurs, but when he heard the shout, his movements halted for a moment. Then he nodded at the others.

"I sincerely apologize, but I have something else to do. Please excuse me, I must leave."

The bosses looked at each other.

"Who is it? I have never seen President Ji in such a state of panic before."

Ji Shenxiao, with his tall height and long legs, came over quickly. He placed Qiu Jin behind him protectively, and Qiu Jin shuddered from using all his willpower to hang in there.

"What's wrong?" Ji Shenxiao asked gently.

Those three words alone made Qiu Jin feel at ease immediately.

He grabbed Ji Shenxiao's sleeve, resisted the strangeness of his body, and said, "Take me away."

Ji Shenxiao's eyes swept over Qiu Jin's cheeks. The young man's fair face was dyed with a layer of crimson, and he did not expect Qiu Jin to enter the estrus period so quickly.

However, Jiang Ming was not intending to let go.

Ji Shenxiao looked down at him and frowned slightly. Their eyes met, and they stared at each other with equal harshness.

After a short pause, Jiang Ming was the first to break the silence.

"Where is President Ji taking him?"

"He's not feeling well. I'll take him away first," Ji Shenxiao said.

Jiang Ming did not give up and tightened his fingers even more.

"Jiang-laoshi," Qiu Jin tried calling him once.

He did not understand what Jiang Ming was thinking. Even if he is targeting Qiu Jin, there was no need to press him every step of the way, right?

Jiang Ming only looked at Ji Shenxiao and remained silent.

Before Qiu Jin decided to shake him off, the other party took the initiative to let go and give him a warm smile.

"Take care of yourself."

There were too many people and too many pairs of eyes in the hotel, and acquaintances were everywhere. Ji Shenxiao took Qiu Jin directly to the parking lot.

Along the way, they heard an omega say, "Why is it so hot?"

"Maybe because the sun is too strong. Stop basking in the sun. Just go inside and it'll be fine."

Qiu Jin was worried that it was his pheromones' effects. He felt guilty, and his pace quickened a bit.

"What is that smell all over your body? It smells bad."

Ji Shenxiao frowned and stuffed Qiu Jin into the back seat of the car. He was unaware when his voice became so full of dissatisfaction.

"I don't like it either..." Qiu Jin muttered, but his expression had already relaxed.

The small space filled him with a sense of security, especially with Ji Shenxiao, a humanoid inhibitor, there with him.

Ji Shenxiao sat upright on the chair and looked down at him.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Qiu Jin: "I may have accidentally entered estrus again..."

Qiu Jin's last inhibitor shot was last week. Furthermore, Ji Shenxiao had already given him a temporary marking.

Ji Shenxiao frowned. Qiu Jin should not be entering estrus so fast.

It was difficult for Qiu Jin to say that he wanted to be bitten by the other man. He said it euphemistically and could not wait for Ji Shenxiao's answer. However, he mistakenly thought that the other party was unwilling, so he gritted his teeth, and said with desperation, "I-I want a temporary marking."

Ji Shenxiao lowered his head slowly. His eyes swept across the back of Qiu Jin's neck, but he did not move.
