It was only later that Lin Ai found out that Marcus was the illegitimate son of his father Sheng Hua.

Shenghua got a son when he was old and raised him in the UK. He was officially brought back to China this autumn and started to learn how to manage the family business.

Marcus has two Omega sisters in their forties who are already married and have their own Alpha husband and children.

The two brother-in-laws have always been eyeing the Sheng family property, thinking that when their father-in-law gets old, they can take the Sheng family as their own. Who would have thought that a brother-in-law, Sheng Yu, would be killed halfway.

Shenghua has been in poor health for the past few years. He hopes that while he is still alive, he wants to help his own son clear the roadblocks, and at the same time, he wants to find a strong backer for him through family marriage, so that after his death, his youngest son Alone in the country.

The bad thing is that the news that Marcus arranged for Lin Ai to be hospitalized was spread to Sheng's family, and now everyone knows that the Omega partner he marked is pregnant.

When Sheng Hua learned of this, he was furious, because he had already found a marriage partner, who was the sister of a certain foreign minister.

So he ordered his youngest son to send this Omega of unknown origin abroad first, and after the child was born, he was given a sum of money to send him away.

Of course, Marcus tried his best to refute, and he was dismissed from all positions in the group in the past few days, and was locked up at home.

Lin Ai was heartbroken, and couldn't help but looked at him and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry... Marcus, I have troubled you."

"What?" The man smiled, his eyes curved with a certain gentleness, "It's my own choice."

"Then why didn't you explain clearly? You said that we are just friends, and the child has nothing to do with you." Lin Ai asked a little puzzled, obviously as long as he made it clear, such things as grounding would not happen later.

"I don't want to," Marcus said casually.

"What?" It was Lin Ai's turn to laugh, "What kind of childish temper is being played at this time..."

"I don't want to marry someone else." Marcus sat up straight, turned his face slightly to look into his eyes and whispered, "Chérie, now and in the future, I don't want to marry someone else."

His eyes moved slightly, he lowered his voice, and asked seductively, "Can I be the baby's nominal father?"

Bewitched by his beautiful face in the dim light, Lin Ai replied blankly to his question, "How?...Aren't you going to get married?"

Hearing this, Marcus pretended to sigh, and said distressedly, "Yeah, I need to find a wealthy backer to marry."

"So, I personally recommended a candidate to my father." He winked at Lin Ai again, "Guess who it is?"

The latter shook his head blankly, causing him to burst out laughing. He suddenly approached Lin Ai's face, rubbed his nose against his skin, and said, "It's the wife of the president of the Fu Group. What do you think, dear brother?"

"You're crazy..." Lin Ai stretched out his hand to push him away, and looked at him in disbelief, "You say that, they take it more seriously."

"Think of it as helping me block a marriage contract first, Cherie, you need me right now, don't you?"

Hearing what he said, Lin Ai fell silent. Yes, he really needed Marcus after being marked, and needed his pheromones and comfort.

If Marcus is indeed married to someone else, it may be a lot more restrictive for them to see each other in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Ai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled bitterly, "I found that since returning to China, I have always made decisions passively."

"So...you agreed?" Marcus stared at Lin Ai with bright eyes, and stretched out his arms to hug him as if he was afraid that he would regret it. "You promised to marry me?"

"...Is there any other choice at present?" He asked helplessly.

Marcus was visibly happy, and proposed to go to a western restaurant to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate, but Lin Ai refused.

"You look so sloppy, don't go anywhere, in case you meet acquaintances...it's not decent."

Marcus looked down at the crumpled suit on his body, and burst out laughing. After a while, he suddenly approached Lin Ai's ear, and said softly, "Then you must listen to your lover."

Lin Aiqiao blushed, stepped back, and warned, "Don't get addicted to playing too much."

He turned a deaf ear, stood up with a smile on his face and walked towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, he yelled the nurse's name outside the corridor, "Summer! Summer!"

Xia Tian who was in the nursing ward ran out after hearing the sound, "What's wrong? Mr. Sheng!"

"My wife's pregnant body can't help being hungry. You go downstairs and order some food that is easy to digest." Marcus was in a good mood, and as soon as he handed out a few tips, Xia Tian happily took it, with a pleasing mouth asked, "Is there anything good today, sir?"

"Is it a good thing for a lover to get married?" Marcus asked him solemnly, and when he saw his eyes wide open, he smiled again and said, "When you have a lover, you will understand gone."

After speaking, he turned around briskly and went back to the ward, the door locked behind him with a click.

"...I really can't figure out the relationship between these three people..." Xia Tian looked at the closed door and whispered.

Before the words fell, there was a sound of ping-pong-pong from the next ward, followed by a long silence.

A few nurses also quietly poked their heads out from the duty room, but none of them dared to step forward easily. After all, a few days ago, the scene when their colleagues were dismissed for saying something wrong was still vivid in my memory.

Xia Tian had long been very interested in the gentleman who couldn't see his true face inside, and now he boldly walked to the door, twisted the doorknob, and opened the door a crack.

The light in the room was very dark, and the lights were not turned on. The general situation inside could only be discerned from the dim light from the light board outside the window. A field of melons and fruits and broken glass rolled down on the ground, which seemed to be a fruit bowl overturned.

He heard a rapid and suppressed panting sound coming from behind the bed curtain, and the other party seemed to be in extreme pain, which aroused his curiosity even more and lured him closer to the bed.

But before he reached out to lift the curtain, a force grabbed his wrist, his eyes spun, and he fell onto the soft and fluffy bed in an instant.

The man twisted his wrist and raised it above his head, but his chest was tightly pressed against him. Through a thin layer of fabric, he could feel the frighteningly high body temperature.

In the darkness, the man's outline was deep, and his eyes were full of scattered light spots. At first glance, he thought they were full of tears.

His expression was a bit sad and confused, he stared at Xia Tian's face and muttered to himself, "Are you here to see me?...I lived next door for a long time..."

Xia Tian was silent under him like a cicada, the tip of his nose was full of the rich smell of black cedar, the unusual concentration made his legs and feet go weak, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

But the person in front of him seemed to regard himself as someone else, just looked into his eyes deeply, and said something he couldn't understand, "I can't forget... What Charles said is wrong, whether I have memory or not, I can't forget it you……"

"I've been trying to think about the past these days. I'm not good to you, I know. But how can I treat you... You say you want to go to Switzerland, I can send you there, but you say you just want to stay By my side... I can't do it... Lin Ai, I can't do this."

Xia Tian was dumbfounded listening to him say these words, after realizing that the "Lin Ai" he said was Mr. Lin from the next room.

He couldn't help reaching out to push the person on him, "Sir, you seem to have a fever and are talking nonsense..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a heat on his cheeks, and wet water slid down his skin all the way to the side of his neck. Before he could realize what it was, several drops fell one after another.

It turned out to be... tears.

"I'm only being nice to you now, isn't it too late?" The man tremblingly asked him, "It's too late, right?"

By chance, Xia Tian looked into his eyes and replied, "It's in time, as long as you are sincere, you will definitely have it in time."

Hearing this, his grip on Xia Tian's wrist gradually slackened, he tilted his body, and fell asleep on the bedding beside him, his chest was still heaving rapidly, breathing heavily.

Xia Tian turned over and got out of bed, opened the door to find the doctor, and after the doctor entered the ward, he went to the downstairs restaurant to order dinner for Mr. Lin.

The usual three meals a day were delivered by that Mr. Xu, handed them to him, and asked him not to leak anything, but for some reason, that Mr. Xu did not come tonight.

……

In the evening, when Lin Ai was eating, he couldn't help frowning. He put down his chopsticks after a few strokes, without appetite.

"Summer, why does the food taste different tonight?" He asked suspiciously.

Xia Tian, ​​who was making the bed, paused for a moment, then smiled at him and Sheng Yu with a normal expression, "... Another cook in the restaurant is in charge of the spoon."

"It's not very tasty," Lin Ai said, "I will order from the former cook in the future."

Xia Tian nodded, did not make another sound.

After a while, he talked to Sheng Yu again as if talking to himself, "It's so strange... The patient next door seems to be very noisy today... I guess the situation is not optimistic, doctors and nurses are walking around..."

"What do you care about the old man next door?" Sheng Yu curled his index finger, and knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, "Why don't you care about where I sleep tonight..."

Lin Ai couldn't help laughing out loud, and glanced at him, "How do you know it's the old man?"

"Those who can occupy the entire floor must be afraid of noise and prefer leisure. How many young people are afraid of noise?"

Lin Ai listened, ready to nod in agreement, but a voice retorted before him.

"No, what if it was hired for someone I like?" It was Xia Tian who said this. He opened a pair of dark eyes to refute Sheng Yu, but his eyes were looking at Lin Ai.

"Oh?" Sheng Yu seemed to suddenly be interested in talking, straightened his sitting posture, and asked him, "Who do you like? Book a floor for whom?"

Xia Tian shut her mouth tightly, did not answer, but still glanced at Lin Ai.

With a "snap", Sheng Yu slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "I'm asking you, why do you always look at my lover?"

He changed his face too quickly, and Lin Ai was also taken aback. He patted his chest and blamed him unhappily, "Why did you do this all of a sudden? He looked at me because you were too fierce."

He waved his hand to smooth things over for Xia Tian to go out first, but the latter remained motionless, still looking at him, and said a little bluntly, "Whether you like nurses, doctors, or patients...you can do anything for him if you like. "

After finishing speaking, he turned around and opened the door to leave, leaving Lin Ai in a daze.

"...What's wrong with this kid?"

The expression on Sheng Yu's face turned colder, and he silently grabbed the chopsticks beside Lin Ai's bowl and continued to eat.

After a long while, he suddenly said something without beginning or end, "I will go through the discharge procedures tomorrow."

"Why?" Lin Ai looked at him in surprise, "The doctor wants me to observe it for a few more days."

"After you are discharged from the hospital, you will definitely not be able to live in that small house anymore. Since you are going to marry me, you should live in Sheng's family first. At least you have a private doctor and servants."

Seeing that Lin Ai still wanted to refute, he added, "I will be very busy in the future, and I really can't stay by your side all the time. Be good and let me rest assured, please?"

These words completely blocked him, Lin Ai could only say yes.

After the physical examination on an empty stomach the next morning, all indicators were normal, and Sheng Yu really went through the discharge procedures for him.

The car was parked downstairs, it was already deep winter, Lin Ai wrapped in a thick down jacket and left the door of the ward.

Before leaving, he glanced at the ward next door, the door was closed, and Xia Tian didn't know where he ran. After thinking about it, he left some tips under the vase, wrote a note beside it, and then turned around to go.

But I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he passed the door, he smelled a vague scent of rosin, he stopped in his tracks, and when he wanted to smell it carefully, the elevator door opened with a ding.

Sheng Yu smiled and stretched out a hand towards him in the compartment, and said in a low voice, "Come on, let's go home—"

Lin Ai was stunned until the red light at the upper corner of the elevator flashed, indicating that it was about to be closed, then he put his hand on Sheng Yu's palm, and he pulled him into his arms with a little force.

The man rested his chin on his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "Next time you have to agree, let's go home."

Seeing that Lin Ai didn't answer, he comforted himself softly, "It's okay, you will say it when you get used to it. I will say it in the future."

This time, Lin Ai moved his body and responded to his words, "I will try my best."

The sound was inaudible.

There is a thin layer of mist in the eyes.
