Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

Shi Ran tilted her head back and retorted, "Lu Lin, what's wrong with you?"

"Am I going crazy?"

Lu Lin scoffed, unleashing all the anger he had been holding back for two days.

"You got so worked up over Cheng Ye! And now you're giving me the cold shoulder. What? Is that all I mean to you? Is some Tom, Dick, or Harry more important than me?"

"Don't fucking speculate about me, I never said anything like that!"

"You didn't say it, but you did it. So tell me, why do you care so much about Cheng Ye?"

Shi Ran was speechless and deliberately said the most unpleasant things.

"Can't I like someone because he's handsome? I just want to save him! I'm going to chase after him after he wakes up! Is it any of your business?!"

Lu Lin's pheromones suddenly exploded, and he squeezed out each word through gritted teeth: "Shi Ran, say it again?"

"Fine, I'll say it!"

Shi Ran's legs went weak from the overwhelming pheromones of his, but she stubbornly retorted, "Listen to me! Am I destined to revolve around only you for the rest of my life?! Who do you think you are, Lu Lin?! Why should I only like you?!"

The word "like" exploded like a thunderclap in the small space.

Shi Ran was stunned after yelling. What...what utter nonsense did he just say?!

Lu Lin suddenly loosened his grip on his wrist, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You like me?"

He repeated, a roguish yet wicked smile curving his lips, "Shi Ran, you just said... you like me?"

"I...I fucking misspoke! Are you crazy? Let go of me!"

Shi Ran tried to break free in a panic, but Lu Lin pressed her against the door even harder, making her unable to move.

"A slip of the tongue?" Lu Lin chuckled, his hot breath brushing against his ear. "You cursed so smoothly, shouted so passionately, and you're telling me it was a slip of the tongue? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"Aren't you one? Even a three-year-old wouldn't do something so childish. You knew perfectly well that Wang Cheng was sent by Gu Chen, yet you deliberately teased him, just to see my reaction, didn't you?"

Lu Lin, his thoughts exposed, snorted but did not deny it.

"So what's your reaction now?"

Shi Ran glared at him fiercely, "I'm about to go crazy, what kind of reaction do you want from me?"

Lu Lin was clearly amused by his words, and chuckled softly, his chest vibrating against Shi Ran's.

"Gone mad?" He leaned closer, his voice seductive. "Gone mad because of me?"

Stop trying to glorify yourself!

Shi Ran was so angry that she wanted to bite him, but she was completely restrained by him and couldn't move.

"Whether I'm exaggerating or not, you know perfectly well in your heart."

Lu Lin deliberately pushed his knee forward again, then narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. "You're all talk and no action, but your body is quite honest. You're squeezing so tight, what do you want me to do, hmm?"

Suddenly, my scalp tingled, and all the blood rushed to my head.

"Lu Lin, you motherfucker...!"

His remaining words were cut off by Lu Lin's sudden kiss.

Shi Ran was so breathless from his kisses that she retorted with a fierce kiss, her teeth accidentally hitting Lu Lin's lips.

"hiss..."

Lu Lin turned her head away in pain, occasionally panting as she asked, "What's wrong?"

Only then did he notice the cut on Lu Lin's lip. This wound... he suddenly remembered the identical mark on Gu Chen's face.

Shi Ran frowned. "How did this happen?"

Lu Lin's eyes darkened; of course, he wouldn't tell the truth.

Are you going to tell Shi Ran that your dear CEO Gu rushed into the racetrack like a mad lion for you, just because I caused you a minor hand injury?

The thought that Gu Chen cared so much about Shi Ran, and was even willing to take action for him, made Lu Lin feel a tightness in his chest.

An unnamed fire, mixed with a strong possessiveness, burned within him.

"fine."

He brushed it off in a curt tone, then kissed Shi Ran again, this time with even more force, almost as if he were venting his frustration.

"Hmm!"

Just as Shi Ran was almost suffocating from his kiss, her phone suddenly rang.

He suddenly snapped out of it and frantically reached for his phone.

Lu Lin was faster than him; he answered the call without even looking at the caller ID.

"Feed?"

Lu Lin's voice was a little hoarse from the kiss, and he subconsciously responded.

The caller ID on the phone screen was clearly displayed as [Gu Chen].

Shi Ran was so frightened that she lunged forward to snatch the phone back, but Lu Lin held it up high with a wicked grin.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, then Gu Chen's icy voice came through: "Where's Shi Ran?"

Lu Lin replied deliberately, "She's right next to me. What's up, bro? Checking up on me?"

Gu Chen's voice was chillingly cold. "Let him answer the phone."

"Hey bro... if there's anything, you can just contact me on WeChat. You keep calling him; people might think you're interested in Assistant Shi..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Ran jumped up and snatched the phone back. "Hey, Mr. Gu, you wanted to see me?"

As he spoke, he frantically gestured with his eyes for Lu Lin to shut up.

But as you know, Lu Lin is more responsive to gentle persuasion than force. When Shi Ran threatened him, he became interested and deliberately let Shi Ran pick him up.

That's a terrible pose.

He supported Shi Ran's bottom with one hand, and Shi Ran could only wrap her arms tightly around his waist and neck to barely avoid falling off.

Moreover, with this embrace, his glands came right up to Lu Lin's cheek.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Chen's voice was icy cold.

Why isn't your phone in your possession?

He was already worried that Lu Lin might do something foolish, which is why he sent Wang Cheng along. But after only a short time, Wang Cheng was sent back by him.

He was so angry that he made a phone call, but it was that brat Lu Lin who answered.

His anger instantly doubled, and he wished he could rush to the racetrack immediately and guard Shi Ran.

At that moment, Shi Ran, who was in Lu Lin's arms, tried her best to make her voice sound normal and replied, "I just went to the bathroom and didn't take my phone... I saw it as soon as I came back... um."

He was speaking when Lu Lin turned his head and bit his gland.

The spray of hot air, the slippery touch, and the intense pheromones that almost pierced his glands sometimes made him feel a sudden ache in his skull, and he could only whimper.

Gu Chen, on the other end of the phone, noticed his unusual behavior and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, the pheromones here are too mixed..."

Gu Chen remained silent for a few seconds, his expression growing even more unpleasant.

"Your glands have been a bit unstable lately, let's transfer you away from this project."

Shi Ran blurted out instinctively, "No need, Mr. Gu, I can manage."

Lu Lin, who was on the other side, smiled when he heard his answer.

Gu Chen persisted, "I can have Wang Cheng replace you; Lu Lin won't refuse."

You're good at giving advice too. Wang Cheng has already suffered too much; let's just let it go.

"I'm fine, Mr. Gu. Manager Chen and the others are coming soon, so I'll hang up now."

Gu Chen responded, and finally said, "Be careful, call me anytime if anything happens."

"good!"

Shi Ran practically rushed to finish speaking before quickly hanging up the phone.

He leaned on Lu Lin's shoulder, panting heavily, his back covered in cold sweat.

The next second, Shi Ran's butt was pinched hard, and Lu Lin's unrestrained praise rang in her ears.

"My dear, I knew you cared about me, that's why you're reluctant to leave the project, right?"

"Get lost! I just didn't want to desert my post! What's it to you!"

"Really? My assistant was very dedicated back then. Shouldn't I reward him for being so dedicated?"

Lu Lin was in a great mood and immediately took out his phone to transfer 88888 to Shi Ran, which was incredibly extravagant.

Shi Ran got off him with a righteous indignation, stubbornly saying, "Don't think you can buy me with money! I'm not doing this because of you..."

[Alipay payment received: 188888]

The cold female voice was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest, but Shi Ran's expression suddenly changed.

He grinned obsequiously, "President Lu, they declined precisely because they couldn't bear to part with you. When's the next time we have this bonus distribution event?"

"It depends on my mood."

As soon as he finished speaking, both of their phones vibrated simultaneously.

The team manager tagged them in the project group chat: "I found that file, where are you guys?"

Shi Ran finally found an opportunity to slip away, and ran out the door.

But I was so badly tormented just now that my legs went weak and I almost fell as soon as I took a step.

"Can you walk? Or should I carry you there?"

Lu Lin's annoying voice rang out behind him.

Shi Ran glared at him fiercely, and despite her weak body, she still walked over by herself.
