Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 124

Two days had passed, and the show “Let’s Fall in Love Today” came to an end. Han Shuocheng arrived at the Yu residence with a satisfied expression, leading his crew to retrieve the cameras.

Upon entering, Han noticed an unusual tension in the living room. Yu Zhangyuan and Mrs. Yu wore cold expressions, while Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue sat together whispering. Yun Zhaoyue stood at the center of the room, pale-faced and visibly distressed, looking utterly pitiful.

Han had spent these two days glued to the screens monitoring the Yu household, neglecting the other three couples. Yun Zhaoyue’s underhanded tactics to drive a wedge between Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue were particularly distasteful, and Mrs. Yu had argued with Yu Zhangyuan at least a dozen times on camera.

He had witnessed Yun Zhaoyue’s fall from grace—from being Yu Zhangyuan’s favorite to becoming his most disliked person. Yu’s displeasure had become almost impossible to conceal. Several times, Han thought Yu would outright expel Yun, but the man only stormed off without taking action.

Noticing Han’s arrival, Ning Xi stood up with Yu Qingxue to greet him, prompting Yu Zhangyuan and Mrs. Yu to forcibly compose themselves. After exchanging pleasantries, Han glanced at Yun and asked Yu with a smile, “Mr. Yu, what’s going on here?”

Yu Zhangyuan replied, “It’s nothing. Zhaoyue here has had some misunderstandings with Ruoruo.”

Yun, however, seemed to see Han as her lifeline. These past two days, she had desperately tried to win Yu Qingxue’s favor but was consistently ignored. Whenever she approached Yu Qingxue, Mrs. Yu would subtly glare at her or find excuses to separate them. Left with no choice, Yun had repeatedly turned to Yu Zhangyuan for help.

Thanks to her skill, Yu had assisted her each time, but with every intervention, the skill’s effectiveness diminished by ten percent. Now, only a mere ten percent of its influence remained on Yu.

“Director Han, I need to speak with you,” Yun said hopefully.

Han first looked to Yu Zhangyuan for permission. Seeing no objection, he smiled at Yun. “Miss Yun, please wait a moment while I instruct the crew to dismantle the cameras.”

Yun nodded and stepped aside, her former arrogance nowhere to be seen.

After giving instructions to his team, Han joined Yun for a private conversation in a camera-free corner.

Yu Qingxue turned to Ning Xi and asked, “Do you think Yun Zhaoyue will leave today?” Initially wary of Yun due to the unspoken restrictions on Ning Xi, Yu Qingxue had found that Mrs. Yu alone had effectively neutralized Yun over these two days without their direct involvement.

Ning Xi replied, “I believe so.” Yun’s skill on Yu Zhangyuan was down to its last ten percent. Once that final influence was exhausted, Yu’s tolerance would vanish, and Yun would undoubtedly be “asked to leave.”

Depleting that remaining ten percent wasn’t particularly difficult, but it wasn’t straightforward either. The only person capable of breaking through Yu’s remaining bias was Mrs. Yu.

As Han and Yun conversed in the corner, Ning Xi opened WeChat and absentmindedly liked a PDA-filled post from Huo Ziling. Suddenly, Han and Yun’s conversation became clearly audible, as if they were standing right in front of her.

Frowning, Ning Xi looked up at the pair. Beside her, Yu Qingxue was on a call with her assistant, evidently unaware of the voices.

Yu Zhangyuan and Yu’s mother showed no particular reaction.

It seemed that, just like the yyds system, only she could hear the voice.

Was it because she was a transmigrator?

Ning Xi’s question naturally had no answer. She put down her phone and focused on listening to Han Shuocheng and Yun Zhaoyue’s conversation.

Han Shuocheng: “Miss Yun, it’s been two days since we last met, but you look a bit pale. Have you not been resting well?”

Yun Zhaoyue’s voice sounded strained: “It’s nothing, I’m just not used to being here. Director Han, last time you mentioned I could enter the entertainment industry. Does that offer still stand?”

Han Shuocheng was surprised: “Miss Yun, since you know President Yu, wouldn’t it be better to ask her for help if you want to enter the entertainment industry?”

Yun Zhaoyue replied: “I… I don’t want to rely on Qingxue-jie. If people found out, they’d say I got in through connections. Director Han, what you said yesterday…”

Han Shuocheng declared confidently: “Of course, it still stands. With a face like yours, Miss Yun, you’d dominate the entertainment industry, appealing to alphas, betas, and omegas alike. Look at Ning Xi—her movie hasn’t even been released yet, but just from this show alone, she’s already gained over five million Weibo followers. You’re just as stunning as her. If I arrange a variety show for you, you’ll definitely blow up!”

Yun Zhaoyue: “Really? Thank you, Director Han!”

Han Shuocheng laughed: “Miss Yun, you can come back to the company with me later, and we’ll sign the contract right away. Out of respect for President Yu, I’ll give you the highest-tier A-level contract I can authorize. How does that sound?”

Their conversation ended there. When they returned, Yun Zhaoyue had regained her relaxed demeanor.

Yu Zhangyuan asked Yun Zhaoyue: “What did you and Director Han discuss? Whatever it is, just tell Uncle, and I’ll help you.”

Yun Zhaoyue knew Yu Zhangyuan’s current behavior was due to the skill’s influence. Once the skill’s effect wore off, all his warmth and tolerance toward her would vanish like a bubble.

Yun Zhaoyue: “Uncle Yu, it’s nothing. I was just curious about Director Han’s work and asked a few questions.”

Yu’s mother secretly pinched Yu Zhangyuan’s arm, making him nearly lose his composure and yelp in pain.

Yu Zhangyuan said: “Your father asked me to look after you. If there’s any job you want, just tell Uncle, and I’ll arrange it for you.”

Yun Zhaoyue quickly waved her hands: “No need, Uncle Yu. I’m interested in the entertainment industry, and Director Han invited me to join his company…”

“Director Han’s company?” Yu Zhangyuan frowned and looked at Han Shuocheng.

Han Shuocheng immediately nodded earnestly. “President Yu, it’s absolutely true.”

Yu Zhangyuan caught the hint of deception in Han Shuocheng’s gaze and tried to dissuade Yun Zhaoyue with measured words. However, Yun Zhaoyue was determined to “collaborate” with Han Shuocheng and wouldn’t listen.

Seeing Yun Zhaoyue’s stubbornness, Yu Zhangyuan couldn’t say much due to the skill’s effect, but his displeasure was evident. With a cold expression, he stood up and said, “I’m going to the study to read for a while.”

Yu’s mother hummed in acknowledgment and, after a while, leisurely went upstairs as well.

Yun Zhaoyue was lost in her dream of replacing Ning Xi, casting a faintly disdainful glance at her.

Originally, Yun Zhaoyue hadn’t wanted to enter the entertainment industry—the Yun family wasn’t short on money. But Yu Qingxue’s recent indifference made her realize that winning her over wouldn’t be easy.

She owed the yyds system 100,000 points. If she couldn’t repay it, she’d be erased. If Yun Zhaoyue wanted to survive, she couldn’t pin all her hopes on Yu Qingxue alone. She had to find another way.

She had only known a limited number of high-quality omegas in her daily life. Last night, after being reminded by YYDS that the entertainment industry was never short of beautiful omegas, she finally made up her mind to seek Han Shuocheng’s help today.

With a face identical to Ning Xi’s, it would be impossible not to become famous.

Yun Zhaoyue imagined a future where she would be surrounded by all kinds of top-tier omegas, and a slightly mischievous smile crept onto her lips.

Yu Qingxue accidentally caught sight of it and tugged at Ning Xi’s sleeve, whispering in her ear, “Is Yun Zhaoyue plotting something bad again?”

Ning Xi turned her face slightly, her nose brushing lightly against Yu Qingxue’s cheek as she murmured, “She probably knows she has no chance with you and is looking for other opportunities.”

“What kind of opportunities?” Yu Qingxue lifted her dark lashes, her light, glass-like eyes meeting Ning Xi’s gaze.

“The chance to replace me…” Ning Xi whispered before leaning in closer. The distance between them slowly shrank from ten centimeters until their warm breaths mingled against each other’s cheeks, spreading a humid warmth.

Yu Qingxue lowered her lashes, her gaze lingering on Ning Xi’s red lips. She leaned in for a fleeting kiss before retreating to a safe distance.

Mindful of the crowd in the living room, Ning Xi simply held Yu Qingxue’s hand and lightly scratched her palm a couple of times. Yu Qingxue smiled, her eyes curving like crescents, sparkling with a playful, teasing light.

With Yu Zhangyuan and Yu’s mother sitting nearby, Yun Zhaoyue watching like a hawk, Han Shuocheng stealing glances but not daring to look too long, and crew members bustling in and out with filming equipment, Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue couldn’t be too intimate just a stolen kiss.

Unbeknownst to them, one camera in the living room hadn’t been dismantled yet, its lens pointed directly at the two of them.
