Falling for My Boss Is Absolutely Not My Fault [ABO]

Lu Xunguang dreamed of exploring unknown planets, but his family wouldn't let him take a high-risk job. They pulled strings to get him into a geological research institute on Blue Star instead.

The young master Lu had always looked down on laboratory work. As if! He was a man destined to explore new worlds!

And his supervising instructor happened to despise unqualified hires who got in through connections like him, criticizing everything he did.

When had an Alpha darling of the heavens ever had to put up with this?

Lu Xunguang didn't believe anyone could avoid making mistakes forever. Taking down a mere Beta should be a piece of cake, right?

But one day, during his rut, Lu Xunguang forgot to bring his suppressants. In a lab full of ABs, a scent belonging to an Omega suddenly appeared.

Following the scent, he found his instructor huddled in a corner of the building, eyes reddened.

So Sheng Tianlan was an Omega pretending to be a Beta!

Lu Xunguang's canine teeth itched, but his words were still a threat. “Well, Professor Sheng, so you're an Omega?”

“Do you know what happens when you hide your gender?”

Facing the Alpha's unabashed pheromones, Sheng Tianlan experienced for the first time how unbearable a heat could be.

Suppressing the urge to have the other man mark him, Sheng Tianlan gritted his teeth. “...Do whatever you want. Now get away from me.”

Lu Xunguang should have left right then. But for some reason, as if possessed, he grasped Professor Sheng's pale wrist and pulled him into his arms, grinding his teeth as he said, “I won't.”
