Li Chen didn't know why, but an ancient story suddenly popped up in his mind - Cinderella was warned by her stepmother not to run out when the prince appeared.

It's a pity that Shangguan Lingshao is not a prince, nor is he that lucky Cinderella.

The incompleteness of pheromone is a hurdle that can't be overcome in a lifetime. It is like a brand that time cannot heal, and the shame burns the nerves of everyone in the Li family.

"I see, father." Li Chen suppressed the darkness in his eyes, and responded cheerfully.

"Don't always have a gloomy face! Smile more! What do you look like?! You don't pay attention to your image at all!"

A series of reprimands hit Li Chen, catching him off guard. Li Chen's body froze, and his fingers holding the back of the sofa slowly tightened.

"Father!"

Li Chen's deliberately low voice interrupted Li Beihai's chattering dissatisfaction. He finally raised his head and glanced at everyone, "If you don't want me to be at home at noon today, you can just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. Sometimes you say I am cold-blooded, I chat and laugh with other people, and you say frivolous, I don’t know how to get along with you.”

After finishing speaking, Li Chen tore off the towel from his head, held it in his hands, and turned to walk towards the stairs.

But even if he lost his temper, everyone in the living room just looked at him quietly, and no one said a word.

Such indifference made Li Chen feel cold for no reason.

It is said that a crying child has candy to eat, but even if he saves face and damages his image to complain and feel wronged, no one responds.

The death star-like silence made Li Chen quicken his pace and wanted to escape.

Back in the room, Li Chen's body was leaning heavily on the door, and he slid down the door, but his body seemed to have no place to rest on as if he was weightless. Just as childish.

But what is behind the smile, only Li Chen can understand.

Noon came soon, and the footsteps of servants coming and going and the sound of carrying ingredients came from downstairs and outside the window. The roar of the aircraft seemed to be overhead, very close to him, and the electronic terminal in Li Chen's hand lit up. It was a friend who asked him out for drinks.

"I'm not going, I have something to do." Li Chen clicked out a few words and sent them, his eyes were glued to the huge aircraft outside the window, and he couldn't take his eyes off.

The insignia of the Shangguan family was engraved on the giant dark gray aircraft. Thinking that the person inside this majestic aircraft shell was the smooth-talking Shangguan Lingshao, the corners of Li Chen's mouth curved even wider, and his eyes also curved.

Li Chen subconsciously poked his probe out, trying to see the entire aircraft, but it was moving very fast and was about to land not far from Li's house. Dissipated all the chill around his body.

The warm air mixed with the smell of fuel actually carried the deep smell of woody pheromone, which made Li Chen squint his eyes and snorted.

"It's quite stylish..."

Then came a sigh.

The family banquet was not very grand, the main people were Li's family and Shangguan's family, Li Beihai and Shangguan He chatted happily after a few words, Ai Lun and Ye Qinghuan chatted about some recently published books, everyone at the dinner table There are smiles on their faces.

Li Chen came down from upstairs after spraying the pheromone camouflage agent, but in the end it was still a step late—the first dish was already on the table.

He didn't want to attend this dinner party at first, but the maid hurried upstairs and told him to let him prepare and see the guests later.

A scene familiar to Li Chen appeared in front of his eyes. He was being watched by everyone, with both good and evil eyes, each of which made Li Chen want to escape.

"This one, it's Li Chen," Shangguan He said suddenly, with a kind smile on his face, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes deepened, he got up and walked in front of Li Chen, and stretched out a hand, "A long time ago I heard that Mr. Li has a young son who is good at doing business, and this time I saw that he is indeed a talented person."

Li Chen, who was unexpectedly praised, was a little flattered. He was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly bowed slightly, and stretched out his hand to shake the big hand in front of him.

"Mr. Li's sons are so outstanding..." After sighing, Shangguan He patted Li Chen's shoulder, "Li Chen, uncle wants you to work in Interstellar Heavy Industry, look..."

Hearing this, Li Chen rolled his Adam's apple, his eyes enlarged slightly, not knowing what happened.

Seeing Li Chen's shocked look, Shangguan He took his hands off Li Chen's shoulders, and helped him straighten the small wrinkles caused by his movements, "Think about it carefully, I won't force you to make a choice." .”

"Okay," Li Chen choked out a word for a long time, bit his lips, "Thank you, Uncle Shangguan."

Li Chen took his seat, facing Li Xingnan and Shangguan Lingshao. He didn't raise his eyes, but tilted his head slightly, like a well-behaved boy who had been patiently listening to his parents' conversation. He didn't even glance at the dishes.

Because, there is no way to see it.

Li Chen covered his mouth, hiding the smile on his lips, and then let go.

He could sense the embarrassing situation on the other side from the corner of his eyes, and he laughed at Shangguan Ling Shao for not rejecting his father's invitation out of face, and ended up in such a dilemma.

But before he raised his head and passed his playful eyes to Shangguan Lingshao, the two fathers talked about the engagement seriously.

Alpha and Omega fall in love, get engaged, and get married. This process is very fast, because of the promotion of pheromones, even two people who are not highly matched can be called an intimate couple under the catalysis of pheromones.

Once a person adapts to another person's pheromone, then he may remember it for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, Li Chen's heart beat suddenly slowed down. He paused with his fingers holding the chopsticks, and the prawns he just picked up suddenly fell into the plate, making a moderate noise.

The sound attracted the attention of several people, Li Chen subconsciously looked at his father, and he was stared at him fiercely, and he quickly lowered his head.

The conversation between the two fathers continued. Li Chen looked at the lonely prawns on the plate, and instantly lost the desire to eat them. He got up, said "Sorry" in a low voice, and then left the restaurant.

"...Like a child with a temper tantrum, he has a bad temper..."

Li Chen heard his own mother and Shangguan Lingshao's mother explain that he had no ability to resist such hypocritical words. Alan was telling the truth. Li Chen knew that he was a wayward child in the eyes of everyone. Mature, complaining, and stubborn.

Walking non-stop to the courtyard, Li Chen took out the cigarette case, shook out one, and put it in his mouth.

The faint flame ignited the night with a "snap", and wisps of smoke rose up, enveloping Li Chen's sight.

After the dinner, reprimands and even punishments were inevitable. Li Chen took a deep breath and wondered whether he should run away before the members of Shangguan's family left.

Li Beihai's unrestrained laughter came from inside the house, disturbing the silence of the night.

It's probably a deal, Li Chen thought, this is the inevitable result.

But suddenly he felt depressed, and the smoke between his fingers had no taste. He just watched it burn quietly, and the last puff couldn't reach his mouth no matter what.

Footsteps behind him suddenly sounded, Li Chen smelled the familiar pheromone, but he still looked at the cigarette without looking back.

Until the footsteps got closer and closer, Li Chen shook his hands, and the fire was quickly extinguished in the cold wind. He threw the cigarette butt into the bionic soil by the flower pond, and was about to turn around, when his wrist was suddenly grabbed hard, and his whole body was drawn into the shadows of the courtyard.
