Last Love chapter 91
Zhuo Yuan stood in place, staring blankly at the phone screen.
He blinked in disbelief, almost wanting to send a friend request, but then restrained himself. Instead, he forcefully stuffed the phone into his coat pocket.
When immersed in one’s emotions, everything in reality seemed to blur.
Despite their divorce and the clear image of Wen Ke pregnant with Han Jiangque’s child, at that moment, all Zhuo Yuan could think of was the tender scene of him and Wen Ke cuddling together.
The yearning and attachment were so intense that he preferred to blindly believe that Wen Ke’s emotions were secretly connected to his.
However, a small system prompt shattered his fantasy. It felt like a slap out of nowhere, and his face burned in the winter cold.
Wen Ke’s departure was so quiet and composed, without a hint of distress or tossing and turning, like a breeze rushing through the night, elegantly heading towards another spring in life.
The most ridiculous thing in this world is the one-man show.
He still stood there with a myriad of thoughts, but the other party had long moved on nonchalantly.
As if worried that this scene might be seen by others, Zhuo Yuan hurriedly returned to the driver’s seat, pulled the car door shut, took a deep breath, and suddenly slammed a fist on the steering wheel.
The sudden intense feeling of defeat made him find something to do to relieve it. Anxiously, he opened the folder handed to him by Uncle just now and quickly flipped through it.
Zhuo Yuan usually didn’t pay much attention to the family business, so he wasn’t very knowledgeable about local real estate.
He knew the name of IM, given the success of the commercial development zone in the northern city, which caught the attention of the entire B city, even receiving government praise.
However, IM focused on commercial development land, which didn’t conflict much with the residential development company like Donglin. So, Zhuo Yuan didn’t bother to learn more about it.
This was his first time carefully examining the information of the IM group. He skimmed through the company structure and legal matters.
But when he saw the name of IM’s CEO, his gaze suddenly paused—
Fu Xiaoyu.
These two words were so familiar, yet he couldn’t match them with a face for a moment.
He had to stop and carefully recall where he had heard this name. After a long while, he finally remembered.
Less than half a year ago, right after his divorce with Wen Ke, Han Jiangque had come to him in a black Lamborghini, causing trouble.
At that time, Jiang Nanfei had warned him with great concern that an Alpha working as an advisor at LM Club couldn’t afford to own such a luxurious car.
He didn’t pay much attention to it. He interpreted the role of an LM advisor as somewhat presumptuous and considered Han Jiangque someone who looked good and emitted pheromones, making it easy to attract a wealthy benefactor. Owning a nice car wasn’t impossible.
So, although he did check it at the time, it was a casual search. Later, he found out that the car was registered under the owner’s name, and Han Jiangque was listed as an advisor at LM.
At that time, he thought it roughly matched his judgment: Han Jiangque, as a male advisor, was accompanying clients while also accompanying the boss, showing off by driving the boss’s car.
So, he dismissed it with disdain.
But now, he suddenly remembered that Fu Xiaoyu was the name of the owner of the Lamborghini he had found out back then!
People who had been apart for a long time and seemed unrelated suddenly reappeared in matters related to his own company, causing Zhuo Yuan’s brain to spin rapidly—
Han Jiangque, Wen Ke, Fu Xiaoyu—these three people were connected in a perplexing way.
“Hey, it’s me.” Zhuo Yuan dialed a number, speaking in a cold tone. “Help me check IM Group. See if you can find out the source of their funds. Also, investigate this Fu Xiaoyu, find out who he is. And regarding the land in Xihao District, check if Yunfeng and they are causing trouble behind the scenes.”
Zhuo’s family had been in real estate development for so many years, and anyone in this line of work had connections with all kinds of people.
To settle matters with the government and deal with construction contractors, they needed contacts in the underworld.
This was why some matters, especially those not suitable for public attention, had to be handed over to Zhuo’s father and Zhuo Yuan to investigate.
After giving instructions, the man on the other end of the phone responded, and Zhuo Yuan hung up.
Zhuo Yuan suddenly wondered, putting aside these matters related to IM Group and their business, what about Wen Ke?
Did Wen Ke know about the relationship between Han Jiangque and Fu Xiaoyu?
He probably didn’t, otherwise, how could he be willing to get pregnant by an Alpha who had been ambiguously kept by someone else;
Or maybe it was precisely because he knew that he was unwilling to be officially marked by Han Jiangque?
So, does this mean… he still has a chance?
He knew how to make Han Jiangque and Wenke’s relationship collapse.
As long as there was any crack, he could find it, pry it open, and then slip in.
Ten years ago, he had done the same thing and succeeded completely.
Ten years later, he could do it again.
Yes, Wen Ke only had one chance in his life to be officially marked, and he hadn’t handed over that only opportunity to Han Jiangque.
Formally marking an Omega was not that simple because, usually, Omega glands contracted when they were outside. Even if an Alpha went crazy and bit the glands, marking wouldn’t be successful.
Only when the Omega’s desires and emotions surged would the glands at the back of the neck quietly swell. Thus, when making love, biting and breaking the glands would inject pheromones.
So, the marking between an Alpha and Omega usually happened simultaneously. When the Omega was in heat, the glands swelled, and at the same time, the Alpha bit and broke the glands.
Now, Wen Ke’s belly was so big, it was clear that he was already past three months.
He could make love, which meant he could be officially marked.
So, as long as Wen Ke and Han Jiangque broke up, he had a chance.
In the dim light, Zhuo Yuan’s expression became slightly sinister due to excitement, and he fell into contemplation.
He had just been with Jiang Nanfei, marking a new Omega. Now, he was unexpectedly thinking about going back to find his former husband, a pointless and ridiculous venture that even he found absurd.
Sometimes he couldn’t distinguish how he truly felt about Wen Ke. It vaguely seemed like love, but from that love grew a twisted form of longing.
Zhuo Yuan’s rational mind disapproved of himself.
However, some thoughts. The moment they sprouted in his mind, they became an obsession—
He now realized Wen Ke belonged to Han Jiangque, and the desire to destroy emerged, even surpassing the willingness to lead himself towards happiness.
