The Retired CEO's Guide To Being Spoiled-Chapter 81: Can You Get Pregnant?

In truth, Julian Sterling was well aware that Ethan Caldwell had a great many friends, and there were plenty who had not made an appearance at their wedding. After all, as the director of a major corporation, his circle of acquaintances was naturally vast, and the people he knew were certainly not of the ordinary sort.

Although the wedding had been announced in advance, the notice had been given only about half a month prior, so not everyone could arrange their schedules to attend. It was just that Julian had not expected Ethan to have a friend who was a doctor, one who even ran his own private clinic.

It seemed that this person had never been mentioned in the novel.

Come to think of it, that made sense. In this novel, Ethan Caldwell was merely a passing character, appearing in novel with some information related to Julian in the original work. Just a few lines of description - as the fiancé, the crown prince of the Caldwell Empire... At most, he only served as a background foil for the main lead, as if to show off to the whole world that the main protagonist was superior to countless elites and CEOs.

Wasn’t every story like that?

Yet, this man had become one of the main characters in his own life.

Thinking of this, Julian could not help but chuckle.

Ethan heard his laughter; he bent down and looked at Julian: "What is it, dear?"

Julian said nothing; he simply shook his head and buried his face in Ethan’s chest. A moment later, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Did they give me an aphrodisiac?"

Ethan shook his head: "Not exactly, but it is similar. Kieran Talbot thinks it is a banned substance, but to know the specifics, we have to wait for you to get through this period and go to the hospital for a proper diagnosis."

Julian thought that Kieran must be that friend of Ethan’s who opened the private clinic. He was not curious about the man, but he was confused about something else: "Get through what?"

Ethan placed him back onto the bed and handed him a glass of water. They had been at it for a long time, and Julian had moaned quite a bit, so his voice was completely hoarse. Seeing Julian drink a little water and then shake his head to signal he did not want anymore, Ethan set the glass down and explained to him: "Kieran said this drug has ingredients that are more than ninety percent similar to a type of prohibited drug which has a massive impact on the body."

"He concocted a temporary purifying agent so your body wouldn’t be affected too much, but it doesn’t reduce the desire."

"So, you might feel uncomfortable in a little while. Right now, you need to be good, eat and drink something to maintain your physical strength."

Hearing this, Julian’s eyes went wide. His large, almond-shaped eyes blinked incessantly, looking utterly astonished.

It made sense to be shocke. It was the first time he had heard of such an absurd drug. What was it created for? To help people with erectile dysfunction go non-stop, until they died from exhaustion?

Would their kidneys even survive that?

But then again, this world was a novel after all, so anything was possible.

Suddenly, Julian thought of the novels he used to read. Among them were a few futuristic fantasy genres that seemed to have a very strange setting, where some people would have estrus cycles just like animals. When that time came, all they knew how to do was do it, and do it again.

And on top of that, their kidneys were incredibly strong, not affected in the slightest.

What was the name of that genre again?

"What are you thinking about?" Ethan had climbed onto the bed. He gathered Julian up to sit, letting him lean against his chest, then tore off a small piece of cake to feed him. Ethan also ate a little, frowning; he did not look like he enjoyed it very much.

Julian chewed a few times as well. The sponge cake was soft, but it was both sweet and dry. Neither of them liked sweets. He forced himself to swallow the piece of cake and then spoke to Ethan: "I am thinking about a genre of novel that is quite similar to our current situation."

Ethan was quite surprised to hear that. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Julian, his voice deep: "What genre is that?"

"ABO. Do you know it?" Julian asked back. But he thought that there was a ninety-nine percent chance Ethan Caldwell would not know what this was.

What kind of corporate president would go around reading novels?

Ah, well, there was him.

Sure enough, Ethan shook his head: "I have heard of it, but I do not know what it is."

Julian giggled: "It is a type of fantasy novel, usually featuring men with men. In that world, besides men and women, there are also Alphas, Omegas, and Betas. Do you know what the most distinctive feature is? Alphas and Omegas have heat cycles, just like animals in estrus. All day long, they just do it and do it; they rest for a moment and then do it again."

As he said this, he burst out laughing and pointed at himself. "Just like me right now."

Doing it for a while, resting, then wanting to do it again a moment later.

Ethan listened to this and pondered for a moment: "Do those two genders usually pair up?"

Julian nodded repeatedly: "Usually, it can be anyone, there are no restrictions. Mainly, that genre is written to satisfy the burning passion for ’meat’ - er, smut - of some readers and authors. Oh, and in that world, male Omegas can also give birth."

Ethan listened to him talk, occasionally feeding Julian a little cake. Whether they wanted to or not, they had to eat to replenish their energy. Suddenly hearing this, he paused slightly.

Based on the information Julian had provided so far, Ethan could vaguely guess that Alphas and Omegas were like a key and a lock. Being together was the optimal solution, though naturally, one could choose freely without constraints. But if a male Omega could get pregnant, it meant the Omega was usually the one lying underneath.

Considering the situation, didn’t Julian look just like a male Omega in his heat cycle right now?

Thinking of this, his gaze shifted to Julian’s flat abdomen, and he suddenly asked: "So if we do it enough, can you get pregnant?"

As he spoke, Ethan even rubbed Julian’s belly.
