Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 122

With Yu Zhangyuan’s approval, Yun Zhaoyue naturally stayed behind.

[I never expected the skill used on Yu Zhangyuan to be so effective, yyds! Could you lend me some more points to exchange for a few more skills? Once I successfully pursue Yu Qingxue and earn a million points, I’ll definitely pay you back.]

[Host must repay 100,000 points before borrowing again.] The system, yyds, replied coldly.

[…I should’ve picked the skills myself. Look at the useless, overpriced things you chose for me.] Yun Zhaoyue boldly complained.

The system simply ignored her.

After sulking for a while, Han Shuocheng took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Yun Zhaoyue.

“Miss Yun, hello. I’m Han Shuocheng, the director of ‘Let’s Fall in Love Today.'” Han Shuocheng smiled as he studied Yun Zhaoyue’s face, growing increasingly astonished.

He had initially thought Yun Zhaoyue merely resembled Ning Xi, but the similarity in their facial features and bone structure was uncanny…

Han Shuocheng glanced back at Ning Xi.

Yun Zhaoyue and Ning Xi’s faces were practically identical.

Even twins have subtle differences, yet two unrelated individuals looked so alike there must be something worth uncovering here.

Yun Zhaoyue slightly lifted her chin and shook hands with Han Shuocheng with restrained politeness. “Director Han.”

Given that she was the daughter of Yu Zhangyuan’s friend, her family background was undoubtedly impressive. Han Shuocheng didn’t mind her attitude and continued warmly, “May I ask what you do for a living? Would you be interested in joining the entertainment industry?”

Yun Zhaoyue frowned. “I don’t have a job right now. Acting? I don’t like acting.”

She raised her chin higher, her brows etched with arrogance. “Sorry, Director Han, my father will arrange a position for me in our family’s conglomerate. He would never allow me to enter the entertainment industry.”

“My apologies, Miss Yun. That was presumptuous of me.”

Han Shuocheng then probed Yun Zhaoyue with a few more questions before contentedly moving on to check the cameras.

By the time the Yu family sat down for breakfast, all the cameras in the rooms had finally been installed.

Han Shuocheng exchanged a few words with Yu Qingxue at the door before leaving the Yu residence with the production crew.

Ning Xi approached Yu Qingxue and, noticing her furrowed brows, lightly tapped them. “What did you two talk about?”

“Who else but Yun Zhaoyue? Out of nowhere, someone who looks exactly like you shows up, claiming to be the daughter of my dad’s friend, it’s all too fishy. And yet, my dad, as if under some spell, defends her like she’s his own daughter.”

Yu Qingxue lifted her pale eyes to meet Ning Xi’s, her expression serious. “Earlier, you kept stopping me when it came to Yun Zhaoyue. Do you know something?”

Ning Xi knew she couldn’t hide it from Yu Qingxue. She cautiously glanced behind her, confirming no one was nearby, then lowered her voice. “I do know some things, but I can’t tell you yet. Uncle Yu’s behavior is indeed related to Yun Zhaoyue. I know what she did to him, but due to certain… intangible restrictions, I can’t explain it to you.”

Yu Qingxue’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. “Intangible restrictions?”

Ning Xi truly couldn’t say more and could only nod in response.

Yu Qingxue arched a brow.

Ning Xi shrugged helplessly.

“Alright, how do you think Yun Zhaoyue should be dealt with?” Although Yu Qingxue found Ning Xi’s explanation unconventional, she trusted Ning Xi enough to believe her.

Sensitive by nature, Yu Qingxue had long noticed Yun Zhaoyue’s ulterior motives, those lecherous eyes always lingering on her.

“Qingxue, would you ever fall for someone other than me?” Ning Xi asked.

Yu Qingxue pouted and tapped Ning Xi’s cheek. “How could I? Are you really that insecure? After seeing your face, how could I ever look at anyone else?”

Ning Xi held Yu Qingxue’s fingers and smiled. “What if that person looked exactly like me?”

“That’s impossible… Are you talking about Yun Zhaoyue?” Yu Qingxue frowned, her light-colored eyes filled with disgust. “I’d have to be insane to fall for that sleazy alpha.”

Ning Xi blinked at her. “I know. We just have to wait for her to dig her own grave.”

A glint flashed in Yu Qingxue’s eyes. “So we do nothing until then?”

“Of course not. We’ll handle it and handle it well.” Ning Xi leaned in and whispered something into Yu Qingxue’s ear. When she pulled back, amusement flickered in Yu Qingxue’s gaze. “That’s so devious… but I love it.”

Yun Zhaoyue, still dreaming of winning Yu Qingxue over, had no idea what awaited her.

The family gathered for breakfast, with Yun Zhaoyue seated on the left at Yu Zhangyuan’s invitation. Yu’s mother, unwilling to engage with him, sat directly opposite as far away as possible.

Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue took their seats beside Yu’s mother.

The table was clearly divided into two factions.

Yu Zhangyuan warmly urged Yun Zhaoyue to eat more, while Yu’s mother used serving chopsticks to place spicy diced chicken on Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue’s plates. “Eat up. Both of you have lost too much weight lately.”

“Thanks, Mom,” Yu Qingxue said.

Ning Xi replied politely yet warmly, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Yu’s mother beamed, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons. “I can’t wait for Xixi to start calling me ‘Mom’ properly.”

Her fondness for Ning Xi had skyrocketed from 10 to 70 in just half an hour, once again surpassing her regard for Yun Zhaoyue.

Yun Zhaoyue shot Ning Xi a resentful glance, gritting her teeth but saying nothing.

With Yu Zhangyuan, still under the influence of her skill as her only ally, Yun Zhaoyue couldn’t afford a single misstep. If his skill failed like Yu’s mother’s had, she’d be left with no support at all.

Thanks to Yun Zhaoyue’s restraint, breakfast passed without incident.

Afterward, the family moved to the living room to chat still clearly split into two groups.

Yun Zhaoyue sat obediently beside Yu Zhangyuan, who asked kindly, “Zhaoyue, your father and I didn’t discuss it in detail are you still in school?”

Yun Zhaoyue stiffened slightly, her gaze shifting. “N-No, I’ve already graduated.”

When she had transmigrated into the original host’s body a month ago, the host had just been held back a year due to insufficient credits.

Thinking her goal was to romance omegas rather than study, she had promptly dropped out, leaving without a second thought.

Yu Zhangyuan, seemingly oblivious to her discomfort, nodded approvingly. “Impressive. Which school did you attend?”

Yun Zhaoyue replied, “Beihua College, majoring in Business Administration.”

“Would you be interested in interning at my company?”

“No, thank you, Uncle. Actually, I’m more interested in Qingxue’s work.” Yun Zhaoyue said, blushing slightly as she glanced at Yu Qingxue.

Meanwhile, Yu Qingxue was busy feeding a sunflower seed kernel to Ning Xi, holding it to her lips, completely oblivious to Yun Zhaoyue.

Yun Zhaoyue pouted in disappointment, prompting Yu Zhangyuan to interject, “Qingxue, Zhaoyue is talking to you.”

Ning Xi’s lips closed around the seed from Yu Qingxue’s slender fingers. Only then did Yu Qingxue leisurely turn to her father. “Dad, if Zhaoyue is speaking to me, it’s not very appropriate for an elder to interfere.”

“I wasn’t ignoring her on purpose,” Yu Qingxue said with a faint smirk, addressing Yun Zhaoyue. “You don’t mind, do you?”

Dazed and flustered, Yun Zhaoyue stammered, “N-No, of course not.”

Yu Qingxue coolly averted her gaze and continued speaking to Yu Zhangyuan. “I was just thinking of a way to reject her.”

Yun Zhaoyue’s dreams shattered. “Qingxue-jie…” She glanced nervously at Ning Xi. “I don’t want to enter the entertainment industry. I wouldn’t affect Ning Xi at all. I just want to stay by your side as a little assistant.”

Yu Zhangyuan pressed, “Qingxue.”

Yu Qingxue’s mother frowned. “Yu Zhangyuan, that’s enough. You can stuff your company with whoever you like, but Qingxue’s company is her own. It’s not your place to interfere.”

Yu Zhangyuan stiffened, his expression freezing. Seeing his wife’s displeasure, panic flickered in his eyes.

In all their years of marriage, she had only called him by his full name twice both times in extreme anger, leading to at least a month of one-sided coldness.

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. Zhaoyue won’t go to Qingxue’s company. Don’t be upset.” Yu Zhangyuan conceded awkwardly.

[Yu Zhangyuan’s skill effect remaining: 90%.]

Yun Zhaoyue: “??? Skill effect? What does that mean?”
