After the Divorce, I Returned to My Hometown with a Baby and Became a Sheriff

[Sweet-faced, scheming green-tea puppy top 1 x cold, proud beauty ex-husband top 2 x mature, steady, handsome older bottom] Five years ago, Jiang Xu was the youngest promising police superintendent in S City. Five years later, he was just getting by in his hometown, a small coastal city, working as a low-ranking public safety officer. An Omega, he was tall and had a child from his previous marriage. After pretending to be a Beta for over thirty years, Jiang Xu never drank, yet suffered from a severe alcohol dependency. To be specific... whenever he realized he was in contact with alcohol, he would go into heat uncontrollably. An unexpected robbery brought him closer to his new, young superior, He Xianxing. He Xianxing was sunny and cheerful, with an innocent baby face. In just a few days, he had charmed Jiang Xu's five-year-old son into calling him “Mom.” Jiang Xu thought it was simply a colleague lending a hand, until someone singled him out for a drink at a welcome banquet. The leader dispatched from headquarters stood amid the crowd, his mixed-race blue eyes fixed on Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu pretended not to recognize Shen Yucheng, his ex-husband, and forced himself to drink the glass. As his body began to change, he fled in disarray. The corridor in the staff dormitory building was pitch-black, but the approaching footsteps grew ever clearer. In the dim light, He Xianxing caught up to him, smiling as he eyed Jiang Xu's soaked trousers. His words were utterly tempting: “Need me to help? Or would you like to come to my place?” The next morning, He Xianxing gave him a sly smile. “You were married to Team Leader Shen for two years... Don't tell me he didn't even know you were an Omega?” “If you ever need help again, just come to me. I'm always happy to lend a hand ^^” Shen Yucheng and Jiang Xu were married for two years, then lived in different countries for four. He believed that he and Jiang Xu would have countless more four-year stretches together in the future. A brief separation wouldn't change anything. That is, until he saw the divorce agreement bearing Jiang Xu's signature on the entryway table at home. After returning to the country, Shen Yucheng used official business as an excuse to force Jiang Xu to help him reopen an old case. But when he got close to him again, he smelled another Alpha on him. At last, he lost control and pinned Jiang Xu against the desk. “Why did you lie to me and say you were a Beta?” Watching the man beneath him, who had once belonged entirely to him, slowly sink into a sea of desire, he nearly went mad. “Jiang Xu, after all this, what makes you think you have the right to divorce me?” [Bonus scene] After Jiang Xu had dealt with an awkward heat episode, he pressed a hand to his aching waist and asked the other two, “What do your pheromones smell like, anyway?” He Xianxing swung his long legs and propped his head up on the bed. “Boozy chocolate!” Jiang Xu turned to Shen Yucheng, who was looking down as he fastened his watch. Shen Yucheng glanced at him coolly. “Tequila.” Jiang Xu: “...” #Reader advisory: 1. The protagonist smokes. 2. He Xianxing is a short top (179 cm). For the sake of the plot, He Xianxing briefly cross-dresses as a woman twice. Jiang Xu and Shen Yucheng are 187 cm tall. 3. Both tops are younger than the bottom. Beautiful tops, handsome bottom, with no role reversal. Both tops are virgins, very dominant in bed, and both are intensely devoted to the bottom. The bottom has only been with these two tops. 4. I don't know how to write children, so the child mostly serves as a plot device. 5. The setting is entirely fictional, and the legal and political systems draw on many different sources. There are also plenty of authorial inventions and inconsistencies. Nothing is intended to reflect real life, so please don't nitpick.
