Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 143

Lu Yanbai gazed calmly at Pei Yu, who was kneeling beside him, his eyes utterly merciless. He turned his wheelchair, braced himself against the edge of the hospital bed, raised one foot, and kicked Pei Yu squarely in the stomach, knocking him sprawling onto the floor.

Pei Yu landed abruptly, spread-eagled on the ground, a look of confusion on his face, with a clear footprint on his abdomen. Xu Wanxing, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events in the room, had his mouth agape, completely unable to close it.

Lu Yanbai is too fierce! With one foot in a cast, he used his other healthy foot to deliver the kick. Xu Wanxing couldn’t even imagine what would happen if both of Lu Yanbai’s feet were fine—Pei Yu probably wouldn’t be leaving this ward today.

Xu Wanxing reached out and tugged Lu Yanbai’s sleeve, shaking it gently with a pleading expression, “That’s enough. After all, I deceived him first, which is why he got angry. Let’s consider the matter of him choking my neck as settled.”

At such close proximity, he could smell the strong scent of seawater emanating from Lu Yanbai, a scent so potent it felt as if it could drown him. This heavy sea-scent pressed relentlessly down on Pei Yu, whose face turned crimson as he struggled to cover his nose and mouth, twisting in discomfort.

Xu Wanxing paused, confused. Shouldn’t Lu Yanbai’s pheromone scent be sea-related? Why was it so overwhelming? This didn’t align with the plot at all.

In his moment of confusion, Xu Wanxing accidentally pulled on Lu Yanbai’s sleeve with more force. Lu Yanbai’s mouth formed a straight line, his eyes sharp as he looked at Pei Yu on the floor. “On account of Baby’s request, I will let you off this time. There will not be a next time.”

With that, he retracted his pheromones and looked at Xu Wanxing with full adoration, his voice filled with cautious tenderness: “Baby, you are ultimately too soft-hearted. Forget it; it’s my fault for not protecting you properly. It is all my fault.”

Pei Yu, on the ground, began to cough violently, his face intensely flushed, losing all trace of his previously handsome and sexy ‘wolf-dog’ appearance. Watching Lu Yanbai meticulously comfort Xu Wanxing, a flash of injury crossed Ji Rongyu’s eyes. Ultimately, I am not worthy; I cannot be as ruthless as Lu Yanbai.

Pei Yu struggled to climb up from the floor, his eyes intensely red from the violent coughing fit. He looked at Xu Wanxing with unconcealed resentment: “No! I don’t agree! We can’t just wipe the slate clean!”

A faint realization seemed to be dawning on Xu Wanxing, but Pei Yu’s interruption made the fleeting inspiration vanish without a trace, leaving him displeased. He frowned at Pei Yu, “Then what do you want?”

Pei Yu touched his stomach, which was throbbing with pain, and gave Xu Wanxing a wretched smile: “Either kill me, or lie to me for the rest of my life!”

Xu Wanxing was startled and instinctively clutched Lu Yanbai’s shoulder, intending to hide behind him. He suddenly realized that the seated Lu Yanbai on the wheelchair couldn’t block anything.

Xu Wanxing: … Am I the one who is too big? Is Pei Yu insane?

Lu Yanbai’s expression became terribly grim, brewing with colossal killing intent. Pei Yu, however, looked fearless, his gaze locked on Xu Wanxing with a touch of madness. He’s crazy, truly crazy!

Xu Wanxing clutched his precious heart and threw a look of appeal toward Ji Rongyu: Control the person you like. He is determined to become entangled with me. Now, only Ji Rongyu could save him. Since Ji Rongyu liked Pei Yu, once the two of them were together, Pei Yu would stop having inappropriate thoughts about him.

Seeing Xu Wanxing looking at him with an appeal for help, Ji Rongyu felt a surge of heroic spirit. He stepped forward to stand in front of Pei Yu and earnestly tried to persuade him: “Let this matter go. He lied to you, and you choked him; Xu Wanxing is not even holding it against you anymore. What more do you want?”

Xu Wanxing silently gave Ji Rongyu a thumbs-up. So brave!

A struggle flickered across Pei Yu’s face, and he clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. With an expression full of pain, he said: “Don’t be like this, Wanwan. I know you like me; otherwise, why would you always call me ‘Gege’ (older brother)? Why are you being so cruel now? Do you truly not love me anymore?”

Xu Wanxing: … Brother, do you need to listen to yourself?

Xu Wanxing, alert like a small animal, keenly sensed that Lu Yanbai’s expression had soured. He quickly held Lu Yanbai’s hand, his fingers gently rubbing the bandage on Lu Yanbai’s hand. He spoke in a coaxing tone: “Husband, I have no relationship with him; I do not like him.”

Pei Yu froze in place as if struck by lightning, his face a picture of disbelief: “You don’t like me? How is that possible? I don’t believe you! You always praised my gaming skills and said my hands were good-looking, and you called me ‘Gege.'”

Xu Wanxing felt guilty, cursing the system a million times in his mind for making him act like a sycophant (a ‘licking dog’). He had done the flattering, but it only made the other person happy, not disgusted—what was going on?

Xu Wanxing squeezed Lu Yanbai’s hand, sporting an expression of fiercely defending his integrity: “Don’t listen to his nonsense. I only wanted him to carry me in games. You can’t take those kinds of words seriously.”

Lu Yanbai looked at Pei Yu, his gaze deep. He glanced down at Xu Wanxing’s hand in his own—long, beautiful, and entirely unlike the hands an Alpha should possess. His Baby does indeed often speak lies. I know all of that. But he hadn’t considered that his Baby would deceive others besides him. Was he not easy enough to fool anymore? Why would he want to play games with others and not with him? I am more fun than anyone else!

Lu Yanbai cast a provocative look at Pei Yu and said, his voice tinged with hurt: “Is what Baby is saying the truth? You always called him ‘Gege’? But I have never heard Baby call me ‘Gege.’ Does Baby simply not want to?”

Xu Wanxing: … What a ‘Gege.’ He swore he would never casually call anyone else ‘Gege’ for the rest of his life. Besides, he already called Lu Yanbai “Laogong” (Husband); why would he still call someone ‘Gege’? ‘Laogong’ is much sweeter than ‘Gege’!

But since Lu Yanbai requested it, he would not refuse. Xu Wanxing glanced at the three other people in the room besides himself and Lu Yanbai. The secretary instantly understood, staring fixedly at the ceiling with an expression that conveyed, I know nothing. Xu Wanxing inwardly clicked his tongue in admiration; no wonder he was the personal secretary—that professionalism was undeniable.

Ji Rongyu, meanwhile, looked heartbroken. He had never heard Xu Wanxing call him anything other than his name or “Campus Heartthrob.” He hadn’t realized Pei Yu enjoyed such a privilege; what right did he have to push his luck? Shameless!

As for Pei Yu, his composure completely shattered. His heart filled with an uncontrollable rage, hot as magma, scorching his very blood vessels. Showing off their affection right in front of him—previously, he didn’t care much, believing Lu Yanbai was merely keeping Xu Wanxing as a kept man. But now, he absolutely could not stand it. He must know that Xu Wanxing is not just simply Xu Wanxing; he is his Wanwan! This was entirely different! He never realized that in Xu Wanxing’s heart, he held such a crucial position.
