In the next few days, Qu Moyu went out early and returned late. His whole person was surrounded by low mood, and he became taciturn and preoccupied.
In order to see him more, Shen Dai got up early to eat breakfast with him and had to wait until he came back in the evening before he could sleep at ease. But he hardly gave Shen Dai any attention.
Shen Dai knew that Qu Moyu must be under a lot of pressure to deal with all kinds of difficult people and work. He was very worried and distressed for Qu Moyu, but he couldn’t help him.
The news of the old man passing away was completely blocked. The stock market was closed during the Chinese New Year. These few days are the opportunity for the Qu family to balance various affairs. Due to the poor situation of the entire industry in the past two years, Chuanghai is already half-dead and the stock prices of other companies in the industry are fluctuating and falling. This is due to the tightening of national policies, the continuous ups and downs in mergers and acquisitions with Chuanghai, and also the investment and research projects that have not produced great benefits. These negative news continued to accumulate, and the market gradually lost confidence in Xingzhou. If the founder of Xingzhou is announced dead at this time, his death will definitely have an unpredictable impact on the stock market.
However, it is impossible to hide such important news for too long. The only good thing is that the old man died during the Chinese New Year and the market did not open for a day. They still have time to stabilise their shareholders and minimise any negative impact.
This is Qu Moyu’s answer in the face of Shen Dai’s concern at breakfast. Shen Dai had some thoughts in his heart. The death of ordinary people involves the feeling of grief, or some property to settle for. But the death of Grandpa Qu has something to do with everything. Property, power struggle, stock price, public opinion but has nothing to do with the feeling of grief alone. He did not see sadness in any of the Qu family members. For them, this is a crisis and also an opportunity. Everyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to grab what they want. A person who has created a mountain of wealth and has a large number of children and grandchildren in truth has no one who really felt sad and cherished him when he died. Is this a success or a failure?
The ruthlessness and rationality shown by Qu Moyu made Shen Dai not know how to feel.
On the fourth day of the New Year, more than half of the holiday had passed. Shen Dai read a book for the whole day and lay in bed at night. He stared at the calendar on his mobile phone and hesitated whether to go home the next day. After the death of the founder, several senior executives who were inspected by their peers had to return to China in advance and he also should be back.
After making up his mind, he decided not to wait for Qu Moyu that night. He went to bed early and bought some New Year’s goods to take back home the next morning.
He was about to fall asleep when his cell phone rang suddenly. The ringtone in the dead of night sounded very loud and Shen Dai was awakened abruptly.
He took the mobile phone while barely able to open a gap in his sour sleepy eyes. When he saw that the caller ID was from Qu Moyu, he immediately pressed the green button: “Hello?”
There was an even breathing sound from the receiver. After being silent for three or five seconds, Qu Moyu said, “Sorry, I woke you up.” A single sound of his voice made his heart beat faster.
Shen Dai was sober in the shortest time. He glanced at the time. It was four in the morning, he asked worriedly, “What’s the matter with you?”
“Headache. I can’t sleep. Come and accompany me.”
Through this small communication device, Shen Dai felt something he had never felt from Qu Moyu— his fragility. His heart became sore and unbearable. It was as if it would melt in the next second, he turned over and jumped out of bed: “I’ll be there in a second.”
Shen Dai went upstairs lightly. When he stood in front of Qu Moyu’s bedroom door, he paused for a moment. He had never entered Qu Moyu’s bedroom. The closest he had ever been to this place was only when he was called to the study by Qu Moyu and he saw the inner door leading to the bedroom.
Qu Moyu does not allow outsiders to set foot on his private territory without permission. In the past, he was not allowed to go up to the entire third floor. He even had to stagger his meal times and try to avoid meeting each other under the same roof. But now, they are more and more connected. Bit by bit, he can now even enter Qu Moyu’s most private territory, which means that he is special, right?
Shen Dai took a few deep breaths in a row before suppressing his rushing emotions. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Shen Dai pushed the door and entered. The dry and cold woody fragrance filled up the room. It was the ebony pheromone belonging to Qu Moyu. This is the place with the highest concentration of Qu Moyu’s pheromone. Entering here is like walking into an S-class alpha hunting ground. Shen Dai is both the guest and the prey. He is no longer in control of his own self and how he should be treated here.
The blackout curtains blocked almost all the light and the room was pitch black. Shen Dai could only tap on the screen of his mobile phone and saw the outline of the bed through the meagre light.
“Mo Yu?” Shen Dai called out tentatively.
Qu Moyu gave a low “Hmm”.
Shen Dai touched the side of the bed. He was still hesitating whether to go onto the bed or not when he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and the whole person was dragged into a generous, strong, and warm embrace in the darkness.
The hot air gushed around his neck. It was accompanied by Qu Moyu’s heavy breathing, and his heavy body pressing on him, making Shen Dai feel Qu Moyu’s depression: “What’s the matter with you?”
Qu Moyu hugged him tightly and adjusted his posture so that they could fit together tighter. He said slowly, “It’s a migraine.”
“Have you taken the medicine? Want me to find Uncle Heng?” Shen Dai thought as he spoke.
“No.” Qu Moyu said in a low voice, “It’s a normal problem. It occasionally happens, so I can only bear through it.”
“What about painkillers?”
“It does not work.”
“…Are you too tired and stressed?” Shen Dai felt distressed. He knew that Qu Moyu went out early and returned late every day and worked under high intensity. He knew that Qu Moyu was under unimaginable pressure to deal with data and with endless troubles coming. He knew that apart from having top genes, Qu Moyu’s efforts were unimaginable to ordinary people. This S-class alpha who seems to be omnipotent is a fatal attraction to him with the halo all over his body. However, this man will also be tired, frustrated, and vulnerable. It has inspired a deeper pity for this man that he loves.
“Probably.”
“Are you thirsty? I’ll pour you a glass of water.”
“Hmm.”
Qu Moyu agreed, but he refused to let Shen Dai get up. Shen Dai struggled several times, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “I can’t get up. How can I pour water for you?”
Qu Moyu was silent again, as if hesitating, and then replied, “No need.”
Shen Dai softly reassured him: “If I can get up, I’ll pour you a glass of water. In ten seconds, your throat will be hoarse. Drinking some water will make you feel more comfortable.”
“……All right.”
Shen Dai slowly pulled Qu Moyu’s hand away. He could feel the other party’s reluctance. He quickly jumped out of bed, poured a glass of water guided by the light of his mobile phone, then quickly returned and put the glass to Qu Moyu’s lips: “Come and drink some water.”
Qu Moyu drank a glass of water in only two mouthfuls.
“I’ll pour you another glass.”
Qu Moyu clasped Shen Dai’s wrist and did not speak. In the darkness, only his eyes were shining, like a pair of beast’s eyes, trying to confirm if the prey he got would escape or not.
“Soon. Ten seconds.” Shen Dai couldn’t imagine that Qu Moyu would have this side before, he could only coax him, “Be good.”
After Qu Moyu drank the second glass of water, he put down the glass. It was as if he couldn’t wait to wrap Shen Dai in his arms again. He pressed him with the weight of half his body, then he closed his eyes with peace of mind and asked, “What time is it?”
“It’s four a.m., haven’t you been able to fall asleep?” Shen Dai stroked Qu Moyu’s face in the dark, he couldn’t see anything clearly, but he could imagine the tired face of the person he liked at this time experiencing headache and insomnia. Qu Moyu must be very uncomfortable at this time and he also feels uncomfortable for him.
“I want to sleep. But I can’t.” Qu Moyu’s voice was full of tiredness and helplessness.
“You must be too tired and stressed.”
“Maybe.” Qu Moyu whispered, “The death will be announced tomorrow. And we will do a series of public relations for the negative news during the next three-day holiday to try to stabilise the stock price.”
“Is the impact so big?”
“The main reason is that the policy trend this year is still not optimistic, and the environmental protection indicators are getting stricter every year. We have to invest a lot of money to upgrade equipment and optimise processes. In recent years, the mining industry has not been favoured by the market. The company has a series of actions, and now any bad news may leave some bad impact.”
“The market is cyclical. The downturn in the mining industry is linked to the general environment. When the entire industry is not very good, Xingzhou’s performance is still excellent. You don’t have to worry too much. Investors have good judgement.”
“I hope so.” Qu Moyu pressed the bone knot of his finger against his temple, trying to replace the pain with another pain.
“Can I massage it for you?” Shen Dai held up Qu Moyu’s head and put it on his lap: “Maybe it can be relieved.”
“Are you good at it?”
Shen Dai smiled and said, “You will know if you try it. I used to give my grandpa a massage.”
Shen Dai first gently massaged Qu Moyu’s thick black hair with his fingers, and then pressed down horizontally and vertically from the centre of his eyebrows: “Are you satisfied, boss?”
Qu Moyu smiled lowly: “Well, it’s a bit strong.”
“I’m a man.” Shen Dai thought this explanation was awkward, but he really wanted to say, “Omega is just my second gender, of course I’m strong.”
“Okay, you’re right. I found another advantage of you.”
Shen Dai’s heart was covered in sweetness: “Do you feel better?”
“I feel better.” Qu Moyu let out a sigh, sounding really relieved.
“Your body is the most important. Take a day off tomorrow. No, half day, okay?”
“No. Tomorrow will be a stormy day.” Qu Moyu said in a muffled voice, “Have you heard the rumour that my uncle wants to split up the family?”
“I heard. Does he really have this plan?”
“Well, he wants to strip the chemical sector from Xingzhou.” Qu Moyu’s voice revealed a hint of gloom, “I will never let him succeed.”
Shen Dai wanted to remind Qu Moyu to be careful about Qu Chengchen, but it was obviously not the right time to mention the susceptible period. What Qu Moyu needed was to calm down and go to sleep quickly.
Shen Dai gently guided him to stop discussing work, but to talk about other topics, until his fingers felt numb and his legs were sore. Hearing Qu Moyu’s breathing gradually eased, he thought he should be asleep soon. With his own sleepiness, he gently moved Qu Moyu’s head to the pillow and whispered, “Go to sleep.”
Qu Moyu hugged Shen Dai into his arms: “Ah Dai.”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you.” Qu Moyu felt that for the first time, he experienced the feeling of mutual support between husband and wife. He knew that Shen Dai couldn’t do much. But this night, when he was tossed and turned by exhaustion, anxiety, headache and insomnia, when he was held in his arms like this and heard him say a few words in a warm voice, he felt a lot better.
Shen Dai’s response was to drop a gentle kiss on Qu Moyu’s forehead.

Shen Dai held up Qu Moyu's head and put it on his lap: Maybe it can be relieved.Are you good at it?Shen Dai smiled and said, You will know if you try it. I used to give my grandpa a massage.Shen Dai first gently massaged Qu Moyu's thick black hair with his fingers, and then pressed down horizontally and vertically from the centre of his eyebrows: Are you satisfied, boss?Qu Moyu smiled lowly: Well, it's a bit strong.I'm a man. Shen Dai thought this explanation was awkward, but he really wanted to say, Omega is just my second gender, of course I'm strong.Okay, you're right. I found another advantage of you.Shen Dai's heart was covered in sweetness: Do you feel better?I feel better. Qu Moyu let out a sigh, sounding really relieved.Your body is the most important. Take a day off tomorrow. No, half day, okay?No. Tomorrow will be a stormy day. Qu Moyu said in a muffled voice, Have you heard the rumour that my uncle wants to split up the family?I heard. Does he really have this plan?Well, he wants to strip the chemical sector from Xingzhou. Qu Moyu's voice revealed a hint of gloom, I will never let him succeed.Shen Dai wanted to remind Qu Moyu to be careful about Qu Chengchen, but it was obviously not the right time to mention the susceptible period. What Qu Moyu needed was to calm down and go to sleep quickly.Shen Dai gently guided him to stop discussing work, but to talk about other topics, until his fingers felt numb and his legs were sore. Hearing Qu Moyu's breathing gradually eased, he thought he should be asleep soon. With his own sleepiness, he gently moved Qu Moyu's head to the pillow and whispered, Go to sleep.Qu Moyu hugged Shen Dai into his arms: Ah Dai.Hmm?Thank you. Qu Moyu felt that for the first time, he experienced the feeling of mutual support between husband and wife. He knew that Shen Dai couldn't do much. But this night, when he was tossed and turned by exhaustion, anxiety, headache and insomnia, when he was held in his arms like this and heard him say a few words in a warm voice, he felt a lot better.Shen Dai's response was to drop a gentle kiss on Qu Moyu's forehead.
