Chapter 313: Episode 29.4 Trauma Bonding In The Rest Room?!

The banquet hall is full of cheers, but that doesn’t mean everyone is genuinely happy with Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng’s public display of affection. Some are bitter, and some (particularly that certain someone) are showing on-set symptoms of broken heart syndrome.

Mo Zhu, the prime example of the latter, feels like he’s having the worst night of his life. He didn’t return to his seat because he didn’t have it in him to face his Brother Tingfeng after the friction with his father.

And when he heard Bai Tingfeng speak so sweetly and fondly about Shen Yuan, Mo Zhu’s entire being shut down. That is the final nail that sets the coffin.

Mo Zhu bolted out of the banquet hall and locked himself up in one of the restroom of the Great Hall. There, he released all the welling emotions from his aching heart.

"H-How can someone so gentlemanly and perfect f-fall in love with someone crude like S-Shen Yuan?!" Mo Zhu said through his cries. Tears falling like waterfalls, and face blushing from all the complicated emotions, the red-headed omega lost the lustre he once had at the start of the party.

"Ahhh!" Mo Zhu cried hard as more minutes passed by. What’s driving him madder is the thought that probably by now, Shen Yuan is enjoying the flattery for being Bai Tingfeng’s husband from everyone in the banquet hall while he is here in the toilet cubicle, sobbing pathetically.

He literally felt that a part of him had died.

Mo Zhu was in the middle of executing the five stages of grief when suddenly, the doors of the restroom opened, and a clacking of shoes echoed.

Mo Zhu immediately wiped away his tears and tried to compose himself by controlling his breathing.

While the sound of his companion was echoing in the restroom, Mo Zhu took the opportunity to exit and wash his face. Unluckily for him, his fellow exited the other cubicle before he could wash off the traces of his tears.

It was a woman— a female omega.

Both are startled at each other’s gaze, especially when they notice each other’s bloodshot eyes.

"Guess I am not the only emotional wreck tonight. Thank god." The unfamiliar woman told Mo Zhu.

It was not the first time Mo Zhu met an overly friendly stranger, and he had many social experiences. He perfectly knew how to handle the situation. However, his emotional battery was already used up. He has no energy to spare.

Instead of speaking, Mo Zhu just minded himself and continued rinsing his face.

The woman only shrugged her shoulders. Like Mo Zhu, she proceeded to a nearby sink, placed down her designer purse and started washing her hands.

Only the sounds of water reigned the restroom.

"Did you know I am only here because I was supposed to ruin someone’s night?" Out of nowhere, the woman spoke. "Last week, I found out that the alpha I’ve been in a relationship with for five years cheated on me. He’s been meeting up and screwing with this lanky male omega from his guild. I never thought that they would become a thing because aside from the fact that this male omega isn’t that soft-looking like most omegas; my ex-boyfriend is more attracted to female omegas like me."

"But who would have thought... After I broke up with my boyfriend, he’s now attending this banquet with his cheating partner. Both of them are disgusting pigs. I can’t bear to look at them. That is why I decided: I will make sure other people will see them as unsightly, too."

A single tear leaked from the woman’s eyes. Mo Zhu couldn’t help but feel sympathetic to her, and when she saw the change in Mo Zhu’s look, she laughed.

"You don’t need to look so apologetic. I planned something horrible."

She picked up her purse and took out a bottle of pills. "I was supposed to spike my ex’s partner with this heat inducer pills. That way, my asshole ex and his cursed cheating party get kicked out of their guild for making a mess at this important banquet. But..." She trailed off, gently wiping away the threatening tears from the side of her eyes.

"Master Bai Tingfeng made me rethink my actions. My ex-boyfriend was far from Master Shen as a lover, and exacting revenge against that loser was not worth it," The woman laughed to spite herself. "It was such a funny thought. When I heard Master Bai gush about his husband, Master Shen Yuan, I thought maybe... Just maybe... If I divert my energy to moving on instead of vengeance, maybe I will finally find someone who will treat me right." The lady could no longer control herself and fat tears cascaded down her cheeks continuously.

Mo Zhu, who had no plans of conversing with a stranger was taken aback. Their sentiments were very different, but at that moment, he also cried with the female omega.

With their backs against the sink, they plopped down to the tile floor, depressed.

"Damn it! Why?! Why can’t they choose us?" Mo Zhu cried emotionally.

"I know, right? I was supposed to be his number one! How dare he look for number two when we are still together?!"

"Huhuhu! You’re lucky. While me— I wasn’t even an option!"

And so, two crying souls sang their heartbreak in that restroom.

It was said that after tonight’s banquet, this same restroom became the center of the chilling account of two wailing banshees based on the confessions of the Great Hall’s guests. But that was an afterstory.

For now, the banquet is still going on, and Shen Yuan is enjoying the night without any trouble.

After Bai Tingfeng’s speech, Prime Minister Mo moved the program in advance, and the banquet finally happened.

Various high-quality dishes await the guests. The beautiful parade of delicious smells and colours instantly whet the appetites of the esteemed guests.

Tradition, fusion, and foreign cuisine are present. It is a big feast!

Shen Yuan was particularly ecstatic when countless whole lamb roasts got wheeled into the banquet hall. When one of them stopped in before their table, the earlier drama almost instantly became a distant memory for him.

"How weird, Yuan. You ignored Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, yet you’re digging in on roasted lamb. How could you forsake a rare delicacy and enjoy common food with relish instead?" Chairman Mao commented.

Shen Yuan puckered his oil-stained lips, "It’s a matter of preference, Chairman Mao. I have been a meat person for centuries, and for me, the best way of cooking meat is roasting it. Besides, I can’t fully enjoy shark fins. Just thinking about the slow, painful death that sharks suffer after their limbs get amputated and thrown back into the ocean leaves a bad taste in my mouth."

Prime Minister Mo, who is savoring the rich flavor of the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall at his table, guiltily stopped slurping on his ceramic soup spoon and put it down.

Mo Lihua who shares the table with them looked unfavorably at Shen Yuan.

Chairman Mao cleared his throat.

"You’re only 29. What centuries-old are you talking about?" The old chairman tried to shift the focus before the earlier friction created sparks again.

Shen Yuan only haughtily huffed. If only you knew the truth.

Bai Tingfeng, the one who knows the truth, calmly put the lamb chops on his husband’s plate, "Yuan, here’s your second batch of meat. Are you sure you can eat it all? Remember, desserts are not served yet. You wouldn’t want to overeat before you taste the delicious sweets of the banquet."

"Agree to that," Admiral Wu Jin chimed in. The admiral sliced one lamb meat and stopped, "Yuan, can you do me a favor? Can you heat this meat for me? It’s medium-well. I want my meat well done. You know, without any hints of pink in my roasts."

Everyone looked at Admiral Wu Jin concernedly.

"You this isn’t beef, right? Lambs are the best when cooked medium. That’s the popular opinion. Honestly, I agree with that," Shen Yuan said.

Admiral Wu Jin huffed, and out of nowhere, he tried to copy Shen Yuan’s pissed reaction and started doing an impersonation of the omega. "It’s a matter of preference, Shen Yuan. I have been eating my meat this way for years, and for me, lamb is best enjoyed when cooked well done."

Bai Tingfeng, Chairman Mao, and Director Song burst out laughing.

"You’re good, huh?" Shen Yuan complimented, laughing. He exchanged an amused look with Bai Tingfeng, "You know, you should be thankful that I am in my best mood now, or else..."

Admiral Wu Jin laughed at the threat.

In the end, Shen Yuan still did Admiral Wu Jin a favor. With one of the foxfire beasts already summoned, it’s not a chore for him to cook Wu Jin’s meat.

Let his little fox sit its butt on the meat! Admiral Wu Jin regretted teasing Shen Yuan when he saw the foxfire beast incubating his lamb meat like a mother hen.

Everyone is full of jokes. Shen Yuan and the others didn’t realize that they were unintentionally alienating Mo Lihua, and Prime Miniter Mo noticed it.

"It’s good to see that the main members of the Four Great Families have good relationships. Since when did you all become close with each other?" Prime Minister Mo asked in a distinctive tone.

The group’s smile went quickly. That question holds many meanings!
