Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 111

Xu Wanxing nodded stiffly, looking at Lin Yao—the only happy person among the four—with tears in his eyes.

Lin Yao said in a hoarse voice: “Just sit here then.” It felt great to see Lu Yanbai suffer a setback.

Lu Yanbai looked at Shen Yuxuan with a death glare, but after a minute, he conceded and sat down next to Lin Yao.

He didn’t say anything after sitting down, just kept staring at Shen Yuxuan.

If looks could kill, Shen Yuxuan would have died a thousand times.

Shen Yuxuan, however, seemed completely oblivious, fiddling with the fruit on the table. He picked up two cherries and handed them to Xu Wanxing. “Want some?”

Xu Wanxing shook his head under Lu Yanbai’s murderous gaze and looked at Lu Yanbai. “I don’t want any. Husband, do you want one?”

Lu Yanbai’s expression brightened slightly. He forced a smile. “Baby, you eat. I know you love these.”

Saying that, he picked up a cherry and bit into it. The crimson juice burst out, wetting Lu Yanbai’s lower lip, making his lips look alluringly beautiful.

Lu Yanbai, seducing without realizing it, licked his lips, leaving a glistening sheen of moisture.

Xu Wanxing watched him intently, as if mesmerized, and reached for the cherries in front of Lu Yanbai.

Shen Yuxuan watched Xu Wanxing take the cherries.

Xu Wanxing didn’t want the ones in his hand, only the ones in front of Lu Yanbai.

Xu Wanxing ate two, narrowing his eyes. “They’re quite sweet.”

Lin Yao grumbled: “Of course they are. Please don’t flirt with each other in front of me after eating my cherries. As a single person, it’s very painful.”

Lu Yanbai smiled, his look toward Shen Yuxuan seeming to say:

You’re also a third wheel.

Shen Yuxuan leaned closer to Xu Wanxing and gave Lu Yanbai a light look.

Xu Wanxing keenly felt the surrounding temperature dropping. He looked up and saw a dark aura rising from Lu Yanbai.

Shen Yuxuan was very irritating, but did Shen Yuxuan know he was currently irritating his future spouse?

Xu Wanxing shrunk inward, almost sticking to the airplane window, continuously praying that Shen Yuxuan wouldn’t infuriate his spouse to death.

Shen Yuxuan saw Xu Wanxing huddled up and thought it was because he was taking up too much space, so he moved slightly to the side.

Lu Yanbai’s expression improved. When everything settled into harmony, Xu Wanxing belatedly realized:

There were clearly plenty of seats here, and even a bed. Why did the four of them have to squeeze into these particular seats?

Xu Wanxing glanced at the people around him.

Lu Yanbai had worked late last night and woke up so early today. He was currently resting with his eyes closed, faint dark circles under his eyes.

Lin Yao had endured the cold wind at 4 a.m. and caught a cold, now leaning against the window with a red nose.

Shen Yuxuan was holding a laptop, wearing anti-blue light glasses on his nose bridge, looking quite like a cultured rogue, appearing to be seriously handling business.

Everything was quiet, so quiet that Xu Wanxing felt a bit sleepy. He leaned against the window and dozed off in a daze.

As he slept, he felt the light on his face getting brighter and brighter. Xu Wanxing uncomfortably used his hand to shield his face.

Suddenly, his leg was brushed.

Xu Wanxing instantly snapped awake, looking to the side.

Shen Yuxuan was packing up his laptop and apologized when he realized he had accidentally brushed against Xu Wanxing.

Xu Wanxing waved his hand, and everything went quiet again.

Once awake, the drowsiness disappeared. Xu Wanxing soberly looked out the window.

Seeing the scenery outside, his eyes widened.

It was too beautiful.

The view outside was truly too beautiful.

Fire clouds were gathering in the sky, a vast, gorgeous expanse spread across the entire horizon, with the sun right in the center.

It was large and bright, like an orange-yellow egg yolk.

It was extremely beautiful and lovely, surrounded by a warm yellow halo, hazy and indistinct.

Seeing such a beautiful sunrise, Xu Wanxing’s first thought was of Lu Yanbai.

He wanted Lu Yanbai to see it too.

But Lu Yanbai was diagonally opposite him. Xu Wanxing looked at Shen Yuxuan next to him and said without much hope: “Can you go sit somewhere else? I want Lu Yanbai to sit here.”

He had truly mustered his courage.

Shen Yuxuan looked approachable, but his presence carried an intimidating aura, the kind only people who have held high positions for a long time possess.

Sitting next to him, Xu Wanxing always felt like he was sitting next to his boss.

It always reminded him of his time as an office worker, being constantly exploited by his stupid boss, and that awful manager who always bothered him and created trouble.

He was paid for one person’s work but did the job of several, which exhausted him.

Shen Yuxuan froze for a moment, his fingers curling uncomfortably. He steadied himself and said: “Fine, I’ll go lie down over there. My head hurts a bit.”

Xu Wanxing: That’s great, fantastic, so happy!

Shen Yuxuan was actually so easy to talk to.

But since Shen Yuxuan said he felt unwell, he couldn’t look too happy.

Xu Wanxing suppressed his smile, feigning a look of thoughtfulness and concern. “Then you really should lie down and rest. Young Master Shen is working too hard.”

Shen Yuxuan heard the words of concern, sat still, and his mind raced.

This tone, this inflection, always reminded him of Wanwan.

Wanwan had clearly rejected him so long ago and hadn’t streamed for so long, making him unable to find him anywhere.

He originally thought he could put Wanwan out of his mind, but he unexpectedly remembered that lovable yet hateful person next to Xu Wanxing.

His love for Wanwan was beyond doubt. Otherwise, how could a company CEO, a prominent figure in the industry like him, so easily throw money at Wanwan?

He was rich, but he wasn’t a fool.

He was more worldly and astute than anyone, and only Wanwan was his exception.

He loved him and felt indebted to him in every way, even though he didn’t owe Wanwan anything.

The person he thought he could forget had instead taken root and sprouted in his heart, firmly stuck in his very being, impossible to let go.

Shen Yuxuan was stunned, only snapping out of it when Xu Wanxing called out to him.

It had only been an excuse moments ago, but now his head truly hurt.

The thought of Wanwan’s cold and heartless rejection made his head feel like it was going to explode.

Shen Yuxuan held his head, stumbled to his feet, and his waist hit the corner of the table. Shen Yuxuan didn’t cry out in pain and only rubbed the spot once he lay down on the distant sofa.

His mind was a mess, and his heart was even messier.

However, Xu Wanxing was unaware of Shen Yuxuan’s strange behavior. He looked at Lu Yanbai, hesitating whether to wake him.

If he didn’t wake him, Lu Yanbai would miss this beautiful sight.

But if he woke him, and Lu Yanbai was actually sleeping, wouldn’t he be disturbing him?

He couldn’t bear to.

Xu Wanxing stared at Lu Yanbai’s face, his intense gaze almost drilling a hole in Lu Yanbai’s cheek.

Xu Wanxing suddenly noticed Lu Yanbai’s eyelids flutter. As if by telepathy, Lu Yanbai opened his eyes and looked at him.

“You’re awake! Hurry, come sit next to me!” Xu Wanxing quickly waved to Lu Yanbai, patting the empty seat beside him.
