Chapter 18 part 1
When Bai He arrived at the meeting room, the meeting was already in the latter half. There were many technical terms he didn't understand, but he was able to grasp the main content of the meeting.
Jinyu's latest product, the pheromone detection wristband, had passed all reviews, but the final government approval was still pending, and the reasons given were specious, seemingly deliberately suppressing this product.
"The pheromone detection wristband is a preventive product, its function is to detect pheromone concentration within a 50-100 meter range, which can effectively avoid some troubles." Xia You leaned closer to Bai He, lowering her voice, "For example, if there is an alpha entering their heat period nearby, relying solely on human senses may not be able to detect it reliably. Although suppressants can control pheromones, the best method is still to stay away from the danger zone, and this product can detect those who are suppressed but not fully suppressed during heat periods and estrus."
Xia You sat up straight, shrugging, "You know, suppressants are useful, but people are hard to predict, staying away is the best method, this is the original intent of designing the pheromone detection wristband, but the government won't approve it."
Bai He understood, he nodded, but didn't voice any opinion on the matter, continuing to listen quietly. As the meeting was about to end, someone suddenly sat in the empty seat next to him, Bai He looked over and met a pair of warm and jade-like eyes.
Nan Yu smiled amiably at Bai He.
Qin Yao, who had been sniffing around in Bai He's embrace, sensed the familiar aura and immediately stiffened, raising his head and looking at his dad and grandpa with guilt.
Nan Yu only gave the wayward son a glance, then continued to gaze at Bai He, the smile on his face very gentle, "Hello."
Bai He nodded, politely responding, "Hello."
Nan Yu only looked at Bai He for a while, then quietly listened to the meeting again, until his pants were lightly tugged, he unhurriedly lowered his eyelids, seeing a cat paw scratching at his pants.
Nan Yu chuckled inwardly, he wasn't clear about what this little Qin Yao was up to? It was nothing more than not wanting him to pry into the matters of the pretty young man next to him.
Nan Yu chuckled, the sound was light, with no discernible emotion. Bai He followed the sound and looked again at the person sitting next to him.
He was a man with an excellent demeanor, this was Bai He's first impression. He carefully glanced at him and was about to look away, but the man seemed to sense something and suddenly looked at Bai He.
They made eye contact again, Bai He instinctively held his breath for a moment, then politely smiled, wanting to continue listening to the meeting, but at this time, the man suddenly asked him a question.
"I haven't seen you before, are you a new member of the administrative department?" Nan Yu's voice was soft and soothing, making it easy for Bai He to calm down.
Bai He shook his head, "I'm an intern."
"Oh..." Nan Yu placed his hands on his knees, tapping his fingertips lightly, revealing a smile that seemed to know everything, "I see."
Qin Yao spread open the paws that were scratching at Nan Yu's pants, his front paws continuing to tug at his dad's pants, this time with some force, but no matter what, he didn't dare extend his sharp claws, only using the paw pads to scratch his dad, hoping the other would stop.
But how could Nan Yu let Qin Yao off the hook, he ignored the cat paw completely, grabbing the paw pad with one hand and smiling at Bai He's cat, "Your cat is very big, he must eat a lot, right?"
What kind of words were these? Was he accusing him of being a glutton?!
Qin Yao was furious, but the other was his dad, the highest in the family hierarchy, he couldn't provoke him, and now he couldn't even hide from him.
"Not really." Bai He blinked, looking at the somewhat unruly Ling Ling on him, smiling, "I've only had Ling Ling for a short while, he was this size when he first came, he's easy to take care of."
Bai He felt Ling Ling was easy to take care of because he remembered that Ling Ling was even willing to eat the fried eggs he cooked.
Nan Yu raised an eyebrow, then smiled warmly, "I also keep cats, I have three cats at home, one bigger than the other, your cat looks a lot like my cats, so I felt quite familiar with him."
The Qin Yao who was "one of the big eaters": "..."
As well as the other big eater, Qin Wei, who was walking over after the meeting: "..."
Father and son looked at each other, then quickly averted their eyes.
Qin Yao: Sweating profusely and building castles with his toes.
Qin Wei: Hmph, they're just the leftovers of his tricks.
The inner thoughts of the father and son were known to no one. Nan Yu was still chatting with Bai He, Xia You was about to leave the meeting room, seeing this, she glanced at the boss and boss's wife, then at Bai He, considerate enough to tell Bai He that if he had finished chatting, he could come to the administrative department to find her, then she bounced away.
Bai He lifted the Maine Coon in his arms, who seemed to be on high alert, Ling Ling was a bit heavy, occasionally sliding down, Bai He had to lift him up every so often. He brought the cat's head leaning on Nan Yu's shoulder, speaking softly, "Would you like to pet him?"
Bai He remembered that the gentleman just said he felt familiar with Ling Ling.
Regarding Bai He's reaction, Nan Yu first paused, then hooked his lips, "Such a kind child, but what if your cat, oh, I mean, your Ling Ling..." Nan Yu seemed to deliberately emphasize the words 'your' and 'Ling Ling': "What if Ling Ling doesn't like me?"
"Ling Ling is very well-behaved." Bai He leaned his head against the Maine Coon's face, Ling Ling's soft ears felt Bai He's warmth, and he couldn't help but shudder a little.
"Meow..."
Qin Yao couldn't control himself, regretting it as soon as he meowed. He quickly turned his head to look at his dad and grandpa, one with a complex expression, the other seemingly amused.
It's over, his reputation was ruined.
Nan Yu stroked the cat's head a few times, then reached out to embrace Qin Wei, saying to Bai He, "Alright, we won't disturb you, go find Xia You."
Bai He nodded, hugging Ling Ling and getting up, nodding to the two before turning and leaving.
Watching Bai He leave, Nan Yu's smile finally couldn't be suppressed, he turned to his alpha, "Your son is just like you, liking to use these little tricks to woo young friends."
Qin Wei remained silent, his face expressionless, he looked at Nan Yu's reddening face, his slender eyes narrowing slightly, burying his head and kissing the corner of the omega's mouth, then gently biting at his ear.
Nan Yu blushed, pushing at the other's shoulder without much force, "We're at the office, be mindful."
"No one's looking." Qin Wei was addicted to kissing, not letting go of Nan Yu for a long time, only then becoming more serious, "Qin Yao's situation is special, that young man probably doesn't know."
"Don't you trust your son's discretion?" Nan Yu asked.
Qin Wei neither nodded nor shook his head, "His own affairs don't need us to worry, but we should remind him."
"That's true." Nan Yu said, "I'll go, you get back to work."
Qin Wei lowered his head to look at Nan Yu, then kissed him again, "You've worked hard."
i think you kept referring to qin yao's father as his grandfather..
