Scumbag Falls for Fiance After Breaking Engagement(ABO)

Chapter 71 Hateful and Pitiful

　　"I'm telling you, when I was patrolling the camp yesterday, I saw the Chief of Staff and His Excellency the Duke talking and laughing together!" The guard lowered his excited voice and said with a beaming face, "That's amazing! This time I really look at the Chief of Staff in a new light!"

　　"Holy crap, is this true? Could it be that our Chief of Staff has hit the jackpot and is going to marry into a wealthy family?!"

　　"He's from a civilian family, he's over 30, his wife is dead and he still has a child, but he's actually having a passionate affair with Empire Moon! I really don't understand, there are so many young talents among the officers, why did they pick him alone!"

　　"Does the Duke not care about being a stepmother? It's really surprising!"

　　He Mingfeng paused, the guard's words hit his eardrums, making him stand there for a long time. In the evening, he knocked on Shen Liangyue's door again with champagne and roses in his hands. The army was about to have a major combat arrangement, and He Mingfeng was extremely busy. The time he could meet Shen Liangyue was greatly reduced. He only gave the omega a bouquet of flowers and talked to him for a while after returning from the office every day.

　　"If you are busy, there is no need to come to see me every day," Shen Liangyue took his flowers and placed them on the table in the living room. "I am already well and I don't have a fever anymore."

　　"That won't do. You don't know anyone here, so of course I have to spend more time with you..." He stopped talking and He Mingfeng stared at the flowers in the vase. The flowers in the vase were no longer his roses, but a bunch of inconspicuous wild flowers.

　　The small flowers, still covered in mud, seemed to be protesting against him. Even though one of his roses was worth this bouquet, they were thrown aside without any regard - in just a few days, he couldn't even keep the vase!

　　"This flower... is quite plain. Was it sent by the Chief of Staff?"

　　"Yes," Shen Liangyue gently touched the petals of the wild flower, and remembered something. She smiled and said, "I think it's very natural and cute."

　　He Mingfeng asked anxiously, "What do you think of him?"

　　"He's a very nice person." Shen Liangyue poured him a cup of hot tea. "You don't have to worry about me being bored. I can get along well with him."

　　This sentence made He Mingfeng's head go numb. Shen Liangyue raised the teacup and shook it in front of his eyes, and then he reacted. The burning heat spread from his fingertips to his heart. He could no longer maintain the demeanor of fair competition. He said with itchy teeth: "The chief of staff, he, he has a son, did you know?"

　　"I know, I met his son..."

　　He Mingfeng didn't hear clearly what Shen Liangyue said next.

　　His mind was numb, and he was holding the teacup blankly, not knowing what to do. He thought the chief of staff had concealed his family situation and approached Shen Liangyue with ill intentions. As long as he pointed this out, he could nip this wrong sign in the bud. Who knew Shen Liangyue knew it well!

　　"Does the Duke not care about being a stepmother? It's really surprising!"

　　The guard's words echoed in He Mingfeng's mind like a spell. If Shen Liangyue really had a relationship with the chief of staff, could he still be considered their matchmaker at the shooting range? Was it because of their failed relationship that Shen Liangyue felt that an ordinary, honest alpha could give her a sense of security?

　　He Mingfeng felt very upset. He wanted to tell Shen Liangyue that the Chief of Staff was not worthy of him and that he deserved someone better. But if an alpha who was good in every way pursued Shen Liangyue, would he be able to accept it calmly? He was just telling a lie to himself. He could not tolerate anyone standing next to Shen Liangyue. Even the most impeccable candidate was inadequate in his eyes.
