After My Adopted Son Tore Up My Glands, His Birth Father Went Mad

(Manuscript in progress...)

Top-tier Alpha Bai Luo Qiu was ambushed on the eve of his arranged marriage, forcibly marked, and turned into an Omega overnight. He was also left pregnant.

His reputation ruined and the Federation holding him accountable, he fled to the slums with a baby on the way.

Six years later, needing to buy suppressants for his little one, he entered into a marriage contract with a piece of trash.

A real kept lover, a fake marriage, one hundred thousand a month, and available whenever called.

.

The client, Gu Yunshen, had a terrible temper and was even worse in bed.

Every time they finished, he would toss down a stack of cash. "Take it and raise your bastard."

Bai Luo Qiu silently got dressed and put the money away.

So what if his gland had been bitten to shreds? One hundred thousand bought him a little dignity for now. It was worth it.

.

In the third month of their fake marriage, Bai Luo Qiu went with Gu Yunshen to the capital planet aboard a starship, playing the role of his "daughter-in-law" to deal with his family.

In the car, Gu Yunshen gripped his chin and warned him:

"Once we go through that door, keep your head down and don't embarrass me. My dad, Gu Yecheng, will see right through you."

Bai Luo Qiu lowered his eyes and smiled meekly. "Don't worry. I'm a good actor."

.

At the banquet, Gu Yecheng sat in the seat of honor.

"Dad, please have some tea."

Bai Luo Qiu lowered his head to offer the tea. The moment he looked up, a familiar pheromone exploded around him.

The scent that had destroyed his life six years ago.

His gland was in pain, but he didn't retreat a single step. His hands didn't even shake.

He was smiling.

That night, Bai Luo Qiu was summoned to the study.

When he came out, his collar was slightly disheveled and the back of his neck was bright red.

Gu Yecheng followed him out, his voice hoarse beyond recognition. "I'll give you ten million. Get a divorce."

Bai Luo Qiu didn't turn around. He only laughed.

"Mr. Gu, your adopted son chewed my gland to shreds for a hundred thousand. For ten million, which part are you planning to bite?"

.

When they got back that night, Gu Yunshen grabbed Bai Luo Qiu by the throat and pinned him against the headboard.

"You signed that contract with me just to get at my old man?"

Bai Luo Qiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"You're overthinking it. I didn't even know who he was."

"Then why would you..."

"Because you're a member of the Gu family." Bai Luo Qiu interrupted him, his voice soft.

"Every one of you owes me."

.

Six years ago, Gu Yecheng was ambushed and spent one reckless night with a stranger Alpha.

When he woke, the other person was gone, leaving only the scent of tequila on the pillow.

He searched for six years.

Until his adopted son showed up with an arm around that person's waist and announced proudly:

"Dad, this is my wife."

That day, Gu Yecheng sat alone in his study, his palm nearly bleeding from how hard he clenched it.

He accepted that he had ruined Bai Luo Qiu's life.

But he would not let anyone take him away.

Not even his own son.
