Chapter 82: Episode 7.9 Improvements and Clues

Bai Weisheng turned to his son with his mouth gaping and eyes that couldn’t hide his surprise. His one and only son was never the kind of person who would talk, let alone ask about cheesy things like love. He was aware that Bai Tingfeng never had a dating phase before his fixed marriage with Shen Yuan, partially due to work, but most of it was because his grandfather pressured him to focus on training as the lone heir of the Bai Family.

He may never have said it, but Bai Weisheng felt sorry for his son. Even he had a fair share of relationships before he met and fell for his Suyin.

That’s why he was relieved to see that, for once, Tingfeng stepped out of his comfort zone.

Bai Weisheng relaxedly leaned his back on the chair. "Unfortunately for you, there’s isn’t an existing formula to win people’s hearts. People would refer to psychology books for guidance, but in my opinion, that’s hardly enough."

He lightly tapped his big son’s arm, "Natural attraction is a big factor in getting your omega. And based on my experience, couples who started in that foundation last longer because anything that comes after that was genuine."

For Bai Weisheng, it is best if his son learns to navigate that unchartered territory himself because that’s the fun part. That’s where the memories that they will later cherish are born.

"I see..." Bai Tingfeng trailed off. "I should have asked Dad."

"Is it too late for me to ground you?" Bai Weisheng deadpanned.

Bai Tingfeng nodded, "Eight years."

The two alphas couldn’t hold back their laughter.

"Fine, if you badly needed tips, then think of solutions based on this proverb: Out of sight, out of mind. Aside from its depressing meaning, it teaches the basics of chasing someone. Make do with that advice and man up."

Out of mind, out of sight...

Once he flipped its context in a way that will help him, then it means that he must make his presence known to Shen Yuan in every way. It was a method that would make him fluster, but he couldn’t keep acting like the virgin Mary.

Bai Tingfeng straightened his back and said, "I’ve been saying to myself for the past few days. I am conditioning myself to become better."

"That’s what I am talking about!" Bai Weisheng nodded in satisfaction, but then his eyes became serious. "This time, you better make Shen Yuan stay. Don’t let him stray too far now."

"Father..." Bai Tingfeng sensed a covert meaning behind his father’s last statement. And remembering the things that happened before, he is sure it is about the looming threat of the Cardinals.

"Thank you for reminding me now." A small smile played on Bai Tingfeng’s lips.

"Can I invite you to a combat training father? I wanted to try using that power this time," he said to his father with determination, "I am willing to face my fears now. For the best, I will release the beast hidden inside me."

Bai Weisheng didn’t show much emotion, but the shine in his eyes became noticeable. "Is this for Shen Yuan?"

"I won’t deny that he influenced my decision to face this issue, but most of all, this is for my family, Father. I can’t avoid hurting other people if I want to protect my family. That’s why I must tame that uncontrolled power, the one I feared the most."

Just look at Bai Tingfeng’s eyes, and they will see that he is roaring to unshackle himself from the past that haunts him.

While Bai Tingfeng is having a meaningful conversation, Shen Yuan gets dizzy with the flurry of unfamiliar faces around him. One moment, he is talking to the husband of a media tycoon, and then a few breaths later, he is exchanging greetings with a young miss of a renowned hunter family. It takes all his focus to remember their faces and think of an intelligent response throughout their conversation— albeit most of the questions revolve around his feeling of becoming an S-Class awakener.

His hands and feet are raised in surrender to Rong Suyin because his father-in-law is indeed a rare breed of social butterfly. Not a sign of tiredness or mental strain is seen when he is talking to them.

How enviable.

"Oh my, Yuan! It’s nice to see you back finally! I’ve been meaning to invite you to show!" A petite, elegantly dressed female omega greeted him warmly. Contrary to others who are restrained and greet him with a smile, this fine lady is obviously westernized in his actions as he is pulled into a cheek-to-cheek kiss.

"Here’s who I mentioned to you earlier, Annie Song. She’s famous for making elegant couture pieces for omegas. Absolutely one of the best designers there is."

Annie smiled confidently. She isn’t some entitled person who felt offended that Shen Yuan didn’t know her name. "Yeah, that’s why you should be in my show this coming fashion week. I will reserve your walk in the opening or closing— whatever you would like, I will make sure to fulfill that. I’ve always wanted to see you give life to my pieces."

The celestial fox spirit could see why his father-in-law regarded this designer highly. The two of them share the same passion for arts.

"I will contact you once my schedule for the coming months is settled."

That is pretty much like a yes from Shen Yuan.

Annie let out an excited, shrill scream. "Gee! Thanks!

I look forward to being the first designer to book the first S-Class omega!"

Other guests around their table heard her exclamation, so she became self-aware. "I mean, please don’t be too pressured by my whinings. If it coincides with your other schedules, I would understand if you turn down my show this time. You know, your work with the Hunter Association and quality time with your handsome husband."

Annie said the latter part of his last statement suggestively.

As cunning and sly as he is, Shen Yuan understands the playful tone’s meaning.

"Well, I could see the first one as a potential factor that may eat up my time since Chairman Mao seemed eager to put me into work. As you can see," he then meaningfully looked at Chairman Mao, who was talking to a waiter for something. Rong Suyin and Annie Song nodded in understanding.

The fact that Chairman Mao went to meet him himself meant that they might catch on to something big, and Shen Yuan’s power was needed.

In the end, Annie Song and Shen Yuan exchanged calling cards. Everyone was satisfied rubbing each other’s elbows.

"Wait, Xiaoyuan. I don’t want to overthink what you said earlier, but I thought that you and Bai Tingfeng were not really okay by chance?"

Rong Suyin suddenly asked in whispers as they rested at Annie Song’s table.

"Huh?" Shen Yuan blinked his eyes, looking confused. "We are fine, Dad."

"No, fights?"

With this question, the celestial fox felt like a bone was stuck in his throat.

He was at a loss for a proper word to explain. Should he say that there was a fight? Or deny it since they already sorted it out in the meantime.

Rong Suyin sighed, "I thought so."

Suddenly, Shen Yuan felt nervous and strongly urged to explain, "Well, I wouldn’t say that we didn’t have fights in the previous days. We argued several times, but now, we are completely okay, Dad. We fixed all misunderstandings by telling each other our expectations, so we are doing okay now."

Rong Suyin seemed relieved from what he heard, but when Shen Yuan thought the topic was over, his father-in-law returned with a curved ball.

"Is that all that happened?"

Shen Yuan was startled at first, but then he collected his cool and answered, "Absolutely!"

He wouldn’t advertise that Bai Tingfeng is chasing after him because although he is smug and prideful, he is not the kind who brags and raises his throne.

Let Bai Tingfeng show his determination to make him fall in love. At the same time, he will also make Bai Tingfeng crazy for him until that brutish alpha takes the initiative to offer his essence to him in glasses.

Although he had doubts, Rong Suyin didn’t force Shen Yuan to talk. Instead, he held Shen Yuan’s hand in a motherly way.

"I am really happy that you are finally home now, Xiaoyuan. You may not be my biological son, but I want you to know this is your home. We are your home."

The celestial fox spirit felt something stirring in his chest—the remnant emotion of the late original Shen Yuan.

"Yes, I am happy and feel at peace now that I am here." He put the emotions into words. However, he couldn’t answer even a letter if he were asked the reason behind these feelings.

Why Shen Yuan left Yanyan is still a mystery for him; he just doesn’t feel the need to focus on unearthing it. But if he was given a chance to have some clues, he is opportunistic to take advantage of that.

"Dad, thank you so much for being warm towards me. Honestly, I expected that you and Father hated me for leaving Yanyan when he was young, so I..."

"Oh, you silly darling. How could I be angry at you when I know that you left not because of some selfishness? It was me whom you begged to protect Yanyan when you were trembling with fear. There’s no way I will hate you."
