The inhibitor needs to be injected again every six hours, but considering Omega's reaction, along with the temporary marking effect, they shouldn't go into heat again.

Ye Jindu returned to the bedroom and changed clothes, getting ready to go out. He then saw Shizheng sitting on a tall stool, holding a ceramic cup, peacefully sipping on milk.

Ye Jindu packed up the documents and put them in his bag. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not easy to catch a taxi here. If you want, why don't you come out with me?"

Shizheng seemed startled, her hand trembling slightly before she responded, "Thank you for the trouble."

Ye Jindu nodded appreciatively and sat down on the couch, swiftly browsing through webpages.

Shizheng finished drinking the hot milk and ate a sandwich before finally filling his empty stomach. As a celebrity, he had to strictly control his weight, so his appetite wasn't very big. However, he ate a bit hastily, and upon standing up, he felt a bit bloated and warm.

Shizheng rolled up the excessively long sleeves, exposing his wrists. He picked up the empty plate and cup, placing them in the sink, preparing to wash them clean.

Ye Jindu watched his movements and said, "Forget about it."

Shi Zhen felt that it was just a small matter and said, "It will be done quickly."

Ye Jindu had no interest in arguing about such matters. He finished reading the last document and closed his notebook.

The sound of water flowed continuously as Shui Liu washed the dishes, putting them into the sterilizer. After drying his hands, he turned around and saw Alpha waiting for him at the door. Ye Jin Du was very tall, probably almost 1.9 meters. Shui Liu thought to himself, otherwise how could Alpha easily hold him in his arms, as if taking advantage of his height, just like bullying someone.

The two of them walked out of the door, with Ye Jindu driving a black Mercedes-Benz. It was only when Shi Zheng got into the car that she realized belatedly the disdainful meaning behind his earlier laughter. Living in a small villa and driving an expensive car, how could he possibly be short on money? Surely, he must be someone of high status, but they just didn't recognize each other.

Perhaps there won't be another chance to meet from now on.

"Where are you going?"

Ye Jindu drove out of the villa area.

(Note: In the absence of context, this translation assumes that "叶津渡" is a name of a person and "别墅区" refers to a villa or residential area.)

A layer of gloom inexplicably welled up in Shi Zhen's heart. He didn't realize that this was actually a symptom of dependency that arose after the marking.

"...Find a street corner and just put me down."

He never even thought about not bringing his cellphone and wallet, to the extent that he couldn't even afford to take the bus. Moreover, just because Ye Jindu didn't recognize him doesn't mean that other people he ran into wouldn't recognize him.

So as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken too quickly.

"Are you sure?"

Ye Jindu glanced at him with a smile. There were few cars on the road, so Ye Jindu drove fast and didn't notice what advertisements were posted on the billboards at the bus station they passed. Otherwise, he would definitely have found them familiar.

So, Shi Zhen had no choice but to provide her residential address. It was a private mansion she had bought two years ago, with an outrageously high housing price. However, the advantage was that the security was excellent, making it impossible for paparazzi to enter. She considered it as money well spent to enjoy a peaceful environment.

So when Ye Jindu heard the address, he raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. It seemed that living in a place like that indicated that he was indeed not an ordinary person.

The two of them remained silent throughout the journey. Ye Jindu turned on the radio, which was playing the latest songs from the emerging music artists of the past week.

Shi Zhen heard that Sheng Ze's song reached the top spot on the weekly charts. Sheng Ze is from the same company as her and they had met during their trainee days. However, one became a singer while the other became an actor. Perhaps because their interests did not clash, they managed to maintain a casual friendship within the entertainment industry all these years.

When entering the residential area, as expected, he was stopped, which was the reason why Young Master Ye didn't like coming to the Silver Lake Estate. Every time he changed cars, he would be stopped. Therefore, Young Master Ye could only put the access card in the car and hand it over for a swipe before the gate would open.

Shi Zheng was amazed as she watched his skilled movements.

Ye Jindu said, "I have a friend who lives here."

"What kind of friends can be so close as to share access cards? Probably only boyfriends and girlfriends," thought Shizheng.

The car stopped downstairs, Shi Zheng undid her seatbelt, feeling a bit suffocated, perhaps because the air conditioning in the car was too high. Shi Zheng uncomfortably grasped the collar of her hoodie, using one hand to try and open the car door. However, after trying, she found that it wouldn't open. The oppressive heat constricted her breathing, weighing heavily on her like a saturated sponge, but Shi Zheng tried again to open the car door.

But he failed for the second time.

When Ye Jindu noticed something was off with him, he saw Shizheng's head knock against the car window.

Only the skin on the forehead, touching the cold glass, felt a slight chill.

Shi Zhen caught a whiff of the scent emanating from her body, a sickly sweet smell that bloomed beneath her neck like a blossoming flower, unabashedly filling the confined space.

Ye Jindu also caught a whiff.

Shi Zheng tilted her head and watched Alpha's expression change from surprise to complexity, asking with fear, "Did I do it again?"

In heat...

But clearly, it was only temporarily marked, wasn't it?

Ye Jindu was also confused at the moment, but judging from Omega's reaction, it seemed to be consistent with the symptoms of being in heat.

"Unless -"

"This is Omega's first time going through heat after separation, hence this phenomenon. However, even if it's their first time going through heat after separation, the temporary marking shouldn't have expired so quickly, theoretically."

Ye Jindu was also perplexed by this kind of physiological issue involving A and O.

Ye Dashao asked uncertainly, "How old are you this year?"

Shizheng leaned her head against the car window, not understanding why he was asking about her age, but still truthfully answered, "28."

28, if it really is the first time for a split like this, it could be studied as a medical case. In any case, this Omega is either born with a genetic defect or has taken some kind of medication to become like this, and is also allergic to suppressants. Ye Jindu can't think of a better solution than injecting natural pheromones for the time being. He feels some sympathy for the person in front of him. By the time they were 28, they would have already had two kids, while it's obvious that the other person has just recently become a dominant gender, as if the previous twenty plus years of their life were spent in chaos and the unknown. Of course, Ye Jindu also sympathizes with himself.

Shizheng's vision was filled with white and black, evidently indicating that the second estrus was more ferocious than the first, like a wild beast that had tasted sweetness and could no longer be satisfied with enduring it alone.

In the midst of rolling desire, Shizheng had no idea how he ended up in the elevator with Alpha. Alpha buried himself tightly in Yejin Du's neck, greedily absorbing the scent of pheromones. Shizheng's newly changed underwear became wet again. This uncontrollable sensation caused Shizheng to shamefully clamp his legs together. It was not until Yejin Du asked him for the password that Shizheng, like a robot, mechanically recited a string of numbers. The password door beeped open, and Yejin Du carried Shizheng into the room, kicking the door shut behind them. Suddenly, Shizheng remembered the surveillance camera in the hallway elevator and shivered with fear. However, he quickly found himself unable to worry about it.
