Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 145

Xu Wanxing waited quietly, hiding his excitement in his heart, ready to receive the system’s good news.

Pei Yu’s raspy voice emerged from his throat, “But I cannot deceive myself. I have always liked you, Wanwan. Even if you tricked me like an idiot, making a complete fool out of me, I still like you.” After a pause, Pei Yu added, “I am truly cheap, aren’t I?”

Xu Wanxing: … Ji Rongyu: … Secretary: …

Lu Yanbai’s face darkened like the bottom of a pot. His long, elegant fingers gripped the wheelchair armrest so tightly that the bandage covering the bulging veins on the back of his hand creaked under the strain. His eyes were icy; if looks could kill, Pei Yu would have died a thousand times already.

“Cheap thing.”

Lu Yanbai’s beautifully contoured lips slowly uttered those two words. Xu Wanxing was astonished. This was the first time he had ever heard Lu Yanbai curse. Lu Yanbai had always presented himself as gentle and reliable in front of him—like a devoted wife. But now, this exceptional Lu Yanbai truly shocked him.

Pei Yu’s complexion was ghastly; every breath caused his stomach to cramp in pain. He had tolerated being kicked by Lu Yanbai while kneeling earlier, reasoning that Lu Yanbai was only an Omega. But now, he couldn’t tolerate it any longer. His self-deprecation of being “cheap” was self-mockery, but what did Lu Yanbai mean by saying it? This was blatant provocation!

Xu Wanxing waited in vain for the system’s voice to appear, and his heart instantly shattered into pieces. Pei Yu truly doesn’t dislike me?! And he still likes him? This is absurd!

Pei Yu now resembled a volcano spewing lava, his entire being filled with pain and hatred, glaring ferociously at Lu Yanbai, his fists clenched until they creaked. If it weren’t for the Omega Protection Law, he would have beaten Lu Yanbai until he was begging for teeth right now.

Lu Yanbai, seated in the wheelchair, maintained a composed expression, showing no fear whatsoever. Instead, he calmly faced Pei Yu, curved his lips into a false smile, and said, “What is it? I was merely continuing your sentence. Why are you so angry?”

How strange! This was the first time Xu Wanxing had seen such a sarcastically passive-aggressive Lu Yanbai. A touch of curiosity made him sit close to Lu Yanbai and secretly stare at him.

Lu Yanbai noticed the gaze following him like a shadow. The smile he had been feigning couldn’t help but become genuine. Naughty. Playing with me isn’t enough; he has to play with others too. He really should teach Xu Wanxing a good lesson. How much trouble will a mischievous fiancé cause after marriage? However, Lu Yanbai’s heart softened at that moment, and he couldn’t muster any real annoyance. One is willing to strike, and the other is willing to be struck. He was truly falling for him.

Pei Yu’s face shifted between several expressions before finally settling on ashen grey. He looked at Xu Wanxing with difficulty, voicing the question that had been plaguing him: “Are you really an Alpha?”

Xu Wanxing nodded, looking sincerely into Pei Yu’s eyes, “I thought you knew. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have ended up in the same dormitory.”

Pei Yu: … So, it was he who had been misunderstanding the whole time. Xu Wanxing was an Alpha. His Wanwan was an Alpha. In his mind, an Alpha should find an Omega for a partner, since Omegas are sweet and soft. His dream was to come home after a hard day’s work to see his Omega sitting at home, looking at him gently and calling him to eat—what happiness that would be. But now, his dream was completely shattered. How could an Alpha be sweet and soft?

Pei Yu remembered the Alphas who often used foul tactics against him during ball games. His face grew incredibly dark; not only were they smelly, but their hearts were also dirty. But why must my Wanwan, specifically my Wanwan, be such an Alpha too?

In an instant, Pei Yu’s heart turned to dust, his vision spun, as if the lights had suddenly been turned off; he could see no light. Faintly, he heard Xu Wanxing’s exclamation in his ear. Wanwan is concerned about me. Upon hearing this good news, Pei Yu seemed fulfilled, peacefully closing his eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, in reality, Xu Wanxing patted Lu Yanbai’s arm, his face full of worry: “Husband, did you anger him to death? Go check if he’s dead; I’m a little scared.”

Ji Rongyu: …He probably isn’t dead. After checking Pei Yu’s pulse, Ji Rongyu called a nurse to take Pei Yu away for examination.

Lu Yanbai looked utterly bewildered, yet there was a strange sense of satisfaction in his eyes. This was the first time he had been so happy, akin to the excitement he felt when he perfectly completed the first task assigned by Old Master Lu. Pei Yu is so fragile; how could he compare to me?

Ji Rongyu left with Pei Yu, leaving only the three of them in the ward. The Secretary felt a persistent gaze fixed upon him. His eyes moved from the ceiling and suddenly he felt a sharp tug in his neck. The Secretary clutched his neck, letting out a few muffled groans. Just as he was about to look over, he caught sight of the pair trying to move closer together in his peripheral vision. He quickly said, “My neck must be acting up with an old ailment; I can’t bend it down. CEO Lu, I will go outside to register for an appointment. I won’t disturb you two.”

The Secretary leaned against the wall, supporting himself. His neck was actually much better and could bend completely, but he dared not. He maintained his posture of looking at the ceiling and slowly shuffled towards the ward door, not daring to linger a second longer once he reached the handle.

Xu Wanxing watched the Secretary with admiration, marveling at his professionalism. No wonder he earns such a high salary; he is truly CEO Lu’s confidant.

Lu Yanbai stared at Xu Wanxing’s slightly dry and pale lips for a few seconds, “Baby, your lips are getting chapped. I will moisten them for you right away.” He then looked toward the Secretary’s direction: “Good performance. I’ll give you a raise.”

The Secretary managed a wide, toothy smile while still staring at the ceiling, apologizing cheerfully. He shot out the door the moment his hand touched the doorknob, not daring to stay another second.

Xu Wanxing sighed watching the scene, shaking his head in reflection: “Working people truly have it tough. By the way, you said you wanted to moisten them for me. Pour a little less water this time, okay?” He feared a repeat of that intensely awkward and chilling event from before. My skin is thin; I can’t handle it. Especially with Lu Yanbai’s intensity and demeanor.

Lu Yanbai nodded, activated the wheelchair’s automatic gliding function, and slowly moved to the water dispenser, collected a glass of water, and returned. Xu Wanxing frowned when he saw the glass was full. “Why so much water? I’ll need to go again soon.”

Lu Yanbai looked at the glass in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and said, “It’s not much. You’ll finish it quickly. Open your mouth, Baby.”

Just as Xu Wanxing reached out to take it, he watched Lu Yanbai take a sip from the glass himself, then set the glass aside. Wasn’t that supposed to be for me? Why did he drink it?

Just as Xu Wanxing was wondering, Lu Yanbai pulled his arm, drew him close, leaned down, and pressed his lips against his.
