Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 46

No one could tell whether it was Jiang Yuanxin’s excellent directing or some other reason, but in the final scene today, Wang You gave an outstanding performance. She completely immersed herself in the role, expressing her anger and resentment toward Feng Yunya and her deep disappointment in Dong Lingxue with striking intensity.

Wang You: What other reason could there possibly be?

“Cut!”

As the scene ended, Wang You slowly wiped the tears off her face with her hand. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Ning Xi about to walk over. She immediately turned around and ran toward the dressing room.

Ning Xi: “…”

Ning Xi walked over to Jiang Yuanxin. “Director Jiang.”

Jiang Yuanxin looked up from behind the camera. When he saw it was Ning Xi, he smiled and said, “Aren’t you usually the first to leave once filming ends? What’s going on today?”

There was a trace of worry on Ning Xi’s face. “Director Jiang, I’ll be going to the hot spring inn later with President Yu. We originally invited Wang You too, but she said she wasn’t feeling well. So I was hoping you could help keep an eye on her.”

Although Ning Xi had never been in a relationship, she understood that some people could be naturally unfaithful without any sense of guilt. Wang You might seem like a nice and innocent girl on the surface, but her inconsistent attitude toward Yu Qingxue was troubling. Ning Xi didn’t want to see Yu Qingxue get hurt, so she had to find someone trustworthy to watch over Wang You.

And the best person for that was Jiang Yuanxin, who had been childhood friends with Wang You.

However, Jiang Yuanxin didn’t think much of what Ning Xi said.

Obviously, Wang You was just finding an excuse to avoid going. What third wheel would feel comfortable tagging along when a couple goes to a hot spring together? But Ning Xi was too sincere and actually believed her. She even came to him specifically to ask him to look after Wang You.

Kind and genuine, Yu Qingxue must have been blessed with incredible luck to win over someone like Ning Xi.

Jiang Yuanxin said, “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll head back to the hotel with Wang You. I won’t just drop her off. I’ll go into her room, stay with her until I’m sure she’s okay, and only then leave. After that, I’ll continue to check in on her. I’ll message her every thirty minutes, and I’ll even stop by again before she goes to bed.”

Ning Xi: “…” That’s really not necessary.

But if Jiang Yuanxin insisted, she wouldn’t stop him either.

With that level of attention, there would be no chance for Wang You to do anything that might hurt Yu Qingxue.

And if she did, Jiang Yuanxin would definitely find out.

Ning Xi finally felt at ease and went to remove her makeup and change. She needed to stop by the hotel with Yu Qingxue first to grab a few essentials before heading to the hot spring inn.

Back at the hotel, as Ning Xi laid out the things she had packed, Yu Qingxue noticed and said, “It looks like you didn’t bring a swimsuit. I brought two. Do you want to wear one of mine?”

Ning Xi replied, “The hot spring inn probably sells them. I can just buy one when we get there.”

Yu Qingxue felt a bit disappointed. The swimsuits she brought would look especially good on Ning Xi.

“They’re brand new. I haven’t worn them,” Yu Qingxue said, not wanting to miss out on the sight.

Seeing that Yu Qingxue was insistent, Ning Xi finally agreed. “Alright then. Thank you, President Yu. You just saved me a lot of money.”

The two of them finished packing, then put on hats, sunglasses, and masks. Once fully disguised, they took a taxi to the hot spring inn.

The inn was located halfway up the mountain, about an hour’s drive from the hotel. At 6:50 in the evening, the taxi pulled up in front of the entrance. Ning Xi paid the fare and stepped out of the car.

The owner of the inn, Xiao Wen, had been sitting idly behind the front desk, toying with an abacus. When he heard the sound of a car, he rushed out to greet them.

“President Yu, you finally made time to come to the hot springs again. I’m so touched. I’ve been waiting for you so long I was about to turn into a stone statue,” Xiao Wen said excitedly as he ran up to her, looking at Yu Qingxue as if she were a walking treasure chest.

Yu Qingxue stepped into the inn, took off her hat, mask, and sunglasses, and tucked her messy hair behind her ears. “Don’t exaggerate,” she said.

Ning Xi followed her lead, removing her own hat, mask, and sunglasses. She walked over and gave Xiao Wen a polite nod. “Hello, I’m Ning Xi.”

Xiao Wen was caught off guard by Ning Xi’s beauty, which was no less striking than Yu Qingxue’s. His eyes widened in surprise, and he stammered, “H-hello, I’m Xiao Wen.”

As a beta, Xiao Wen had absolutely no resistance to a stunning alpha like Ning Xi. After introducing himself, he could only stare blankly at her face, completely entranced.

Yu Qingxue pulled her hat down to block Xiao Wen’s gaze and said coolly, “You must be really touched. Your tears are flowing straight out of your mouth.”

Xiao Wen laughed awkwardly and tugged the hat away, glancing longingly at Ning Xi. “I’ll take those tears back right now.”

“President Yu, Ning Xi, I’ll take you to the hot springs in the backyard,” he added. After years of running this inn, Xiao Wen had sharp instincts. Yu Qingxue had reserved the whole place and brought along a breathtakingly beautiful Alpha. Was it really just for the hot spring? No, she came here for the Alpha.

Ning Xi noticed Xiao Wen constantly sneaking glances at her. She gave him a polite smile, and his face immediately turned red. Embarrassed, he turned away and didn’t dare look at her again.

Xiao Wen led them to the changing and shower area in the backyard. “Inside, there are individually packaged toiletries, disposable slippers, clean and disinfected bath towels and robes. Everything’s ready and safe to use.”

Yu Qingxue had never realized just how chatty Xiao Wen could be. “I already know the routine. No need for the full tour. Go back and look after the front desk.”

“…Alright then.” Xiao Wen glanced reluctantly at Ning Xi one more time, then slowly turned and walked away.

“You’re really popular,” Yu Qingxue said with a trace of jealousy in her voice.

Ning Xi smiled. “President Yu, are you underestimating your own charm? I think you’re far more popular than I am.”

“You don’t understand,” Yu Qingxue said with a small shake of her head.

She didn’t care how many people liked her. None of them were a threat. But Ning Xi was different. Every person who liked Ning Xi was a potential rival in love.

Falling for a perfect Alpha truly did come with all sorts of trouble.

After finishing their showers in separate private stalls, the two of them changed into swimsuits and got ready to enter the hot springs.

Yu Qingxue had brought two sets of swimsuits. One was more revealing, the other more elegant.

After thinking it over carefully, she decided to wear the more revealing black one-piece. After all, it was more important to make Ning Xi feel her charm than to get distracted by Ning Xi’s beauty.

Yu Qingxue changed into the sleek black triangle-cut swimsuit, then stood in front of the mirror to check her figure. Yes, even she felt like getting a nosebleed just looking at herself. Ning Xi definitely wouldn’t be able to resist.

Ning Xi was in the adjacent changing room. After putting on the swimsuit, she felt a little tightness in the chest area, but it wasn’t uncomfortable enough to matter. It wouldn’t affect her time in the hot spring.

She pushed the door open and stepped out. When she saw Yu Qingxue waiting ahead, she instinctively smiled. “President Yu.”

At that moment, both of them were wrapped tightly in bathrobes, so neither could see the other’s figure.

Yu Qingxue let out a quiet breath and kept her expression calm as she replied, “Come on, I’ll take you to the hot spring.”
