Bo Xiyun's life was relatively peaceful, and the arrangements for the wedding were mostly handled by Wen Xiusen's team. However, as the wedding date approached, Bo Xiyun received numerous inquiries, as decisions needed to be made collectively.
The first thing confirmed was the plan for the engagement ceremony, which was held at a villa in the suburbs of Yancheng. The villa was situated by a large reservoir, elegant in style, with a tranquil environment and excellent privacy.
Next was the planning of the wedding proceedings. Although the wedding was still some time away, preparations needed to start. The wedding planning team, consisting of the personal stylists for Bo and Wen and some professional wedding planners, was a temporary group of mostly young individuals, creating a lively and relaxed atmosphere.
Despite the usual aloofness of Mr. Wen, even Wen Xiusen's stylist, who rarely joked with the boss, found the environment quite relaxed when dealing with the amiable young master.
For the engagement and wedding ceremony details, the planning team consulted Bo Xiyun for his opinions, aiming to satisfy the employer's wishes. However, the young master didn't have many specific requirements. In response to all inquiries, his answers were generally the same: "Okay," "Very good," or "Let's go with that."
Even when there were decisions to be made, Bo Xiyun mostly left it to Wen Xiusen. Regardless of the chosen outcome, he was content. Throughout the wedding preparation process, the phrase Bo Xiyun said the most was, "He decides."
This led to playful remarks from the planning team.
"Are you so trusting of Mr. Wen's taste?"
"They're a perfect match."
"The young couple is so in love~"
The last statement, in particular, was said with sincerity. Although the team didn't perceive the daily entanglement in the couple's pheromones, after these days of "lessons," Bao Xiyun's control over the pheromones had significantly improved. Moreover, the true gender of the two individuals was still kept confidential.
Despite the apparent harmony, Wen Xiusen's assistant, Wei Fang, couldn't help but sense something peculiar. Since learning about Bo Xiyun's past achievements, his perception of the young master had changed. Bo Xiyun was no longer the willful and capricious image in his eyes. However, the current attitude of the young master still left Wei Fang puzzled.
Unlike the wedding planning team, Wei Fang didn't think these were naturally occurring displays of affection. On the contrary, he even felt that this indicated the couple's relationship was not as intimate as it seemed when they were together.
After witnessing Bo Xiyun's indifferent response to the details of the plan set by Wen Xiusen once again, Wei Fang's feelings became more pronounced.
Inappropriately speaking, young master Bo's attitude seemed to be that of someone facing a kept partner—casual and indifferent. Anything was acceptable, as long as it pleased him.
It appeared that Bo Xiyun himself wasn't particularly excited about the prospect of getting married, even though it should be one of the most important moments in life.
Especially after Wei Fang observed Bo Xiyun's indifferent demeanor while busy in the study on several occasions, he became more aware.
In essence, he still seemed like that elusive young master, casual and unconcerned. Even the thoughts spent on work seemed more serious than those on wedding matters.
Wei Fang couldn't help but recall the nine amended versions(At the start WXS tried to make a contract, remember?) of the contract his boss had made.
Until today, the smooth progress of the wedding didn't seem to signify an easy road for the couple. Wei Fang also recalled a conversation with the manager and the boss's agent, where they mentioned young master Bo's personality.
At that time, Wei Fang exclaimed, "I didn't know our young master was so capable!"
While he had guessed that Bo Xiyun wasn't as dissolute as portrayed in the media, young master Bo had never clarified, seemingly unconcerned about external opinions.
Wei Fang also vividly remembered a statement made by Ni Man that day.
"Because he's always so casual, elusive, like the wind and the clouds."
"No one can catch him, and no one can win his favor. It's as if no one can make him stop and look back for a second glance."

While preparing for the wedding, Bo Xiyun's health checks and pheromone monitoring were not neglected.
The day the full-body examination results came out, Bo Xiyun went to the hospital to pick up the report, accompanied by Wen Xiusen.
When Bo Xiyun arrived, the doctors who had conducted the examination were just finishing their shifts. The two shifts, those starting work and those finishing, were both present, making the office a bit lively.
The results of the young master's medical examination were quite pleasing, with all the data returning to normal ranges.
"No major issues," said the younger female doctor, patting the young man's arm. "Your recovery is quite good. Rest well for another month, and you'll be able to resume normal activities."
The male doctor holding another set of examination results added, "Not bad. The concentration of pheromones has been steadily increasing. It's estimated to reach standard levels next month. Keep up the contact."
A colleague nearby jokingly said, "Is this Mr. Wen's credit?"
The male doctor nodded, adding to Bo Xiyun, "Continue maintaining the current level of contact."
Bo Xiyun, with the gentle gel still on his gland, felt a slight coolness on the back of his neck.
Before he could turn around, the man standing behind him reached over and adjusted the slightly loose collar on the young man.
Wen Xiusen also responded affirmatively to the doctor's words.
"Alright."
The doctors smiled kindly. The female doctor said, "The rapid recovery of Little Yun's various physical indicators is probably also related to the soothing effect of pheromones."
"Isn't it?"
The male doctor continued, "AOs are naturally compatible, and considering these two, I've never seen a pair like them, with pheromones aligning so smoothly."
Someone nearby added, "They really complement each other."
"Maybe their compatibility is one hundred percent," another person suggested.
Due to the need to keep Bo Xiyun's S-level Omega status confidential, and to be cautious, he hadn't undergone a matching test. Each test leaves traces, and S-level Omega data might attract attention from the central system.
However, between alphas and omegas, once the matching rate exceeds 80%, it is considered highly compatible. If the matching rate exceeds 90%, there is a noticeable attraction between the two.
Now, seeing how effective Mr. Wen's pheromones were on the young master, their matching rate might indeed be higher than 90%.
Someone else joked, "With this, after marking, Mr. Xiao Bo might have no issues at all."
(T/N: I let that Xiao because little Bo seemed odd.)
Bo Xiyun smiled but didn't say anything.
Wen Xiusen, beside him, lowered his eyes to look at him and reached out to help flick away a stray eyelash that had fallen near the corner of the young man's eye.
The touch on his eyes made the young master subconsciously close them, but he didn't avoid the alpha's actions.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was warm and harmonious, with everyone chatting happily.
However, Dr. Sun, the oldest chief physician, sat behind his desk, silently observing the two young people who were being good-naturedly teased by others.
After reviewing the examination report, the doctors who had just finished their shift dispersed, each going to their respective positions.
Bo Xiyun still had some doses of medication to use for the next week, and he needed to wait for the doctor to prescribe them before going to the hospital pharmacy.
As the evening approached, the young master unintentionally revealed some fatigue, and Wen Xiusen sent him to the adjacent resting room, telling him to rest for a while, while he went to get the medication.
When Wen Xiusen returned with the medication, double-checking with Dr. Sun that the drugs were correct, he was about to go to the resting room to fetch the young master when Dr. Sun suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
Wen Xiusen paused his steps.
At this moment, the other doctors had already dispersed, leaving only the two of them in the office. Dr. Sun gestured for Wen Xiusen to wait while he closed the door before turning back to face him.
"Just now, when Dr. Lin and the others were chatting, they mentioned the marking process, and I wanted to discuss it with you."
Dr. Sun was the expert doctor who informed Bo Xiyun about his level, and he was also highly respected.
Wen Xiusen nodded, "Go ahead."
Dr. Sun said, "Currently, Mr. Xiao Bo's pheromone concentration is still below the standard line. Given the current situation, his first heat period might be delayed."
Pausing for a moment, he asked, "The next heat period should be at the end of this month, right?"
As Dr. Sun was also responsible for Wen Xiusen's treatment and daily monitoring, he naturally knew the situation.
Wen Xiusen quickly understood the doctor's meaning, "He will be later than me?"
Dr. Sun nodded, "There is a high probability of that because his pheromone production is not sufficient."
Wen Xiusen fell into silence.
After considering it for a moment, Dr. Sun continued, "As Dr. Lin and the others mentioned, the matching of your pheromones is indeed very good."
"But I suggest that if he enters heat first, with Mr. Xiao Bo's consent, it's best not to mark him."
This could potentially lead to the deterioration and rupture of their bond.
Dr. Sun was about to elaborate on this point, but Wen Xiusen spoke.
"I understand."
The man's expression remained exceptionally calm. He was only wearing a deep blue shirt, and the coat was left for Bo Xiyun in the adjacent resting room.
Although the young master's condition had improved somewhat, Wen Xiusen remained very cautious about the various objects he came into contact with. He carefully wrapped him up before letting him lie down on the resting bed.
The man in the shirt appeared well-built, with a straight back and broad shoulders. His voice was calm.
"I won't mark him."
"He doesn't like to be overly influenced and controlled by pheromones."
Dr. Sun couldn't help but be taken aback.
He didn't expect Wen Xiusen to say such a thing.
The room was lively just a moment ago, but Dr. Sun remained silent. This was because he had been individually questioned by Young Master Bo.
Bo Xiyun asked him if there were any signs of omega's heat period.
Dr. Sun, knowing that the young master was concerned about his own heat period, told him, "Your heat period might be delayed. Be sure not to stop the daily monitoring. After the pheromone concentration returns to the normal level, then address the symptoms of the heat period."
After saying these things, Dr. Sun noticed that the boy's eyes seemed much brighter.
Bo Xiyun was genuinely developing a plan to delay his heat period, even without checking his own pheromone concentration, which was still insufficient.
He even asked, "Can the heat period be endured with suppressants? Can suppressants be used continuously?"
Dr. Sun sensed that something was wrong at that moment.
Why did Bo Xiyun seem so averse to the heat period?
In fact, Dr. Sun wasn't the first to witness such an attitude.
Wen Xiusen, who was now sitting in front of him, had done the same thing before.
Bo Xiyun didn't want a heat period, and he even wanted to rely entirely on suppressants to get through it.
But Wen Xiusen had a major problem.
He had always been using a repressive method to endure his own heat period.
Dr. Sun had been responsible for helping him regulate it, and Wen Xiusen's situation was quite challenging. Suppressing the heat period for too long without seeking relief was an extreme approach. Moreover, Wen Xiusen was an S-level alpha. Over the past year, ordinary suppressants had become completely ineffective for him. The medications he used were specially formulated high-concentration suppressants. His recent medication required no room for error.
Dr. Sun wanted to remind Wen Xiusen that it might be better not to strongly mark Bo Xiyun because he had observed the issues with both of them.
Bo Xiyun resisted the heat period, and Wen Xiusen suppressed it for too long. Once induced by the highly compatible omega pheromones, he might make irrational decisions.
Even how to persuade him had been carefully considered by Dr. Sun because he knew that alphas, affected by their innate constitution and pheromones, often had an overwhelming possessiveness when facing such marking issues.
If an omega doesn't want to be marked, resists the heat period, alphas might erupt with an intense aggressiveness.
But what surprised Dr. Sun was Wen Xiusen's response. Even regarding the young master's resistance, Wen Xiusen did not show any violent reaction. He even stated, "I won't mark him."
For these S-level alphas, it couldn't even be described as "extraordinary."
Wen Xiusen was constantly in a struggle with his own innate instincts.
Even at this moment, the man standing by the table remained calm, saying casually, "If he differentiates into an omega, my gender can assist him, only that."
Wen Xiusen then nodded politely towards Dr. Sun, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you for the reminder."
He understood that the doctor was thinking about Bo Xiyun.
Ironically, it was Dr. Sun who seemed not to understand.
Wen Xiusen was quite satisfied with the unexpected reaction.
How would Wen Xiusen react?
Dr. Sun vaguely understood some of the reasons behind Wen Xiusen's strong suppression of his heat period—he had someone he loved who didn't need him. Not only did the person not need an alpha, but they also didn't need Wen Xiusen as a partner.
That's why Wen Xiusen forcefully endured it for so long.
Back in those days when he couldn't afford a doctor for treatment, he would even use large quantities of cheap and inferior suppressants along with icy cold water containing shards of ice, enduring the monthly heat period.
T/N: Wen Xiusen dead set on making me cry...
