บท 39: Heat,

* * *

Mo Laotian had been busy all day at the company. He had a few meetings and even visited a few companies and lands having ocular inspections and maintenance checks. He was so busy that he didn't have the chance to even call Daniel. But despite that all, he didn't want his work to take his time with Daniel during dinner. So even though he had a few more works to do at the office, Laotian decided to leave it for tomorrow. If it was before, Mo Laotian would have spent his day working at his office the whole day without going home.

Laotian was fixing his things but as he was about to finish, Mo Hanlu suddenly barges into his office like a tornado.

" Brother! brother! Older brother! " Mo Hanlu yelled hysterically.

" . . . " Laotian watched his younger brother run towards him holding his mobile phone and then lifted it up directly in front of his face.

" look! look! Everyone is talking about brother-in-law! What should we do? " Laotian glance at the photo of him and Daniel at the grocery store yesterday then he continued to fix his things.

" Brother! Why are you being so idle about this? Don't you care about brother-in-law's safety? You have a lot of enemies! What if they find brother-in-law and my extremely adorable nephew!? Oh, my nephew! " Mo Hanlu said dramatically, as to even fall into the chair acting like he was about to faint. His hand on his forehead.

" . . . " Laotian didn't say anything again but Mo Hanlu's eyes immediately went wide as if he just heard his brother's response.

" W-what!? You're letting the public know? " Hanlu probed following his brother who's about to get out of the office.

" Nooo! You can't brother. Everyone would think you're a pedophile for making a nineteen year old pregnant. " Mo Hanlu screamed that even Mo Laotian's two secretaries heard him as the Older Alpha was holding the door open.

" Daniel is not a child. " Laotian simply replied and walked out. The two secretaries silently looked down, could not believe what they just heard. The boss had a child with a nineteen-year-old kid!? The whole world would die to know the truth but even if they're given a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare spread the news. If the boss didn't allow it, then who would dare?

" Still, you promise Elder Sullen to hide it until his 20th birthday. " Mo Hanlu whined again. Actually, although Hanlu already accepted Daniel and truly happy about his nephew, once the news comes out about Mo Laotian getting married, he would then become the new target of all men and women from socialite families. He likes men and women but he is a picky person, Mo Hanlu would only date the prettiest but even among the prettiest, he still chooses those that interest him.

Mo Hanlu grew up with so many outstanding people around him and so it was only natural he had become picky with people he wanted to bed. But at the end of the day, although he does have quite a number of affairs. Mo Hanlu had no plan even in the slightest to marry in his life. At least, for now, he didn't think so.

" In two months Daniel will turn 20. " Laotian said. Hanlu was thinking so deeply he didn't realize they were already at the parking lot when his older brother replied.

" What? Then how about me!? " Mo Hanlu panicked. What would happen to him then? He would become a sacrifice to those hungry wolves.

" What about you? " Laotian asked ready to ride his car, his driver was holding the door for him.

" Brother you are so cruel to me. " Hanlu pouted about to join his brother in the back seat of the car.

" Hanlu, drive your own car. " Laotian stopped Hanlu from getting inside his car and stared expressionless at his younger brother. 'Why does this man always forget he had his own car!?' Laotian thought.

When Hanlu realized he was to get in with his brother, he awkwardly back away and remembered that he indeed drove his own car to work today. " Oh shoot! Right! I have my own car. Okay! See you at the house. " Hanlu said and promised next time not to bring so he could ride his brother's car just like when they were younger.

Laotian ignored his brother and quickly signaled his driver to close the door and quickly drive home so he could finally be with his beloved Daniel again.

The driver didn't procrastinate and quickly drive away from the Mo Empire to the Mo Estate.

When he finally arrived, he walks into the house with a frown. He wondered why Daniel hadn't pounced on him the moment he got inside, it was the usual greeting he gets from his beloved when he gets back from work.

" Mother, where is my wife? " Laotian asked giving his things to the maid. His eyes scanned the whole room confused. Neither Daniel or Luangmin was around.

" I wanted to tell you this morning but Daniel beg me not to. You can find him in your room. " Mrs. Mo said helplessly, Elder Mo was also there reading his book. After greeting his parents, Laotian immediately climbed upstairs worried about what happened.

The moment Laotian opened the door he suddenly froze being greeted by Daniel's scent, the whole room smelled Daniel's pheromones. Normally the room would both smell like Laotian and Daniel's scent mixed together but now it was just Daniel's. The scent came raging into Laotian's nostrils it had him frozen still at the doorway. When he realized what was happening, he immediately closed the door and locked it.

" Laotian! Welcome back. " Daniel was just reading when he noticed his husband had finally arrived. He smiled jumping off of the bed and into Laotian's arms. He had been missing the Alpha whole day so he decided to stay in the room where Laotian's scent was stronger. Laotian caught Daniel's body and kissed his forehead.

"Is your body okay?"

"hmmm. I'm just feeling a little hot but I'm okay. " Daniel smiled sweetly pulling away from the Alpha's embrace. He then sat on the bed where Minmin was playing with a stuffed toy given to him by his great grandfather.

" I'm sorry for leaving you like this. " Laotian apologized. He walks close to Daniel and pulled Daniel into his arms again. He knew when an Omega is in heat, they would want to stay closer to their partners.

Daniel breathes a sigh of relief inhaling Laotian's scent. Good thing Daniel's heat was not in its peak or both would be driven by their desire.

"Why didn't you tell me? " Laotian asked hugging Daniel from the back. They were in their favorite position now where Daniel's back was leaning against Laotian while the Alpha hugged him from the back. Daniel would then carry Minmin on his arms so the little baby could play with his Daddy and Mommy.

" I didn't want to disturb you. You were absent yesterday and I know your work had already piled up since Hawaii. " Daniel pouted snuggling closer to his husband.

" I can give the work to Hanlu. " Laotian said like his younger brother is his slave. Daniel doesn't know that Hanlu would be glad to be Mo Laotian's slave, Mo Laotian had the habit of doing things alone so Hanlu likes it when he was needed by the person he admired the most.

" Hey, don't treat your brother like he's a disposable object. " Daniel pinch the back of Laotian hands.

" He would love it. " Laotian mumbled burying his face against Daniel's neck. He's starting to get drunk by the sweet scent and both their bodies started heating up. Even though they did it so many times last night, Laotian's body couldn't get enough of Daniel. He could never.

" Should I ask Mother to take care of Luangmin tonight and for the next two days. " Laotian suggested. Omegas heat normally lasts three days, during these days Daniel won't be his usual self. He would feel sluggish and weak as these days are meant for mating. Furthermore, people in the mansion are mostly Alphas and Betas. To avoid unnecessary accidents, Daniel has to remain inside their room.

" hmmm, I'm sorry. " Daniel agreed, his face flushed. His lips started getting dry. He felt so thirsty.

" Mother would love to take care of Luangmin. We can also ask your mother, this estate has a lot of rooms. Your mother could stay here while you're in heat. " Laotian offered that made Daniel nod excitedly.

" Really Laotian? "

" Yes of course. " Laotian pinch Daniel nose.

" Hmmm. Thank you, Laotian. I love you the most. " the two stayed cuddle up with each other for a couple of minutes until Laotian decided to deliver Luangmin to his mother. Elder Mo and Mrs. Mo understood and happily picked Minmin from Laotian. Although Mrs. Mo could see Luangmin every day, she didn't have the chance to fully take care of Minmin because she doesn't want to meddle on Daniel's ways of taking care of his own son. She would only help if Daniel needed help so Mrs. Mo was so happy she gets to take care of Minmin for 2 days.

" Xiao Lao, should I ask someone to bring dinner to your room? " Mrs. Mo asked. She knew Daniel's heat would worsen the longer he's away from his husband and the two had already been away from each other the whole day.

" Hmmm. "

" Okay, I'll ask to prepare it soon, go to your wife now. Don't keep Daniel waiting. Hanlu is about to arrive any minute now, I'll stop him from disturbing you two."

" hmmm, I told Daniel, mother-in-law could stay here while he's in heat."

" Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to prepare a room for her and pick her up. Now off you go. To Daniel. " Mrs. Mo nodded then pushed Laotian's back towards the staircase.
