Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 18

As if making atonement, he bought a large bouquet of yellow roses. He couldn’t directly tell Lu Yanbai about the plot, so he would just give him a flower that symbolized apology.

Everything unspoken.

The flowers here are truly expensive! He counted thirty-three roses in this one bouquet, and it cost him 648 yuan.

But times were different now. He was no longer the Xu Wanxing who only had 200 yuan to his name.

Now, he would twist his waist, dance, and sing online—a type of person he had previously looked down upon, but which was now synonymous with himself.

He had to admit, he had a little savings now.

A grateful heart thanks the protagonist gong for loving to spend money on him; most of his wealth came from the protagonist gong’s spending.

Using the protagonist gong’s money to buy flowers for the protagonist shou. Xu Wanxing silently gave himself a thumbs-up.

It counted as some form of “borrowing Buddha’s flowers to offer to Buddha.”

Looking at the classical gate of the restaurant, Xu Wanxing mentally prepared himself and walked in.

After giving his name, a waiter led him into a private room.

As soon as Xu Wanxing entered, he saw Lu Yanbai, who looked completely different from usual.

Lu Yanbai was wearing a shirt as dazzling as fire, making his skin appear snow-white and flawless. He looked like a gorgeous, flamboyant enchantress, subtly casting a spell.

Xu Wanxing stood at the door, holding the yellow roses, his face extremely flushed.

Beauty overload!

Lu Yanbai’s current appearance was exactly what danced on his fetish list.

“Why aren’t you coming over?”

Lu Yanbai’s lips curved into a slight smile, his voice carrying a hint of seduction. Xu Wanxing’s ears turned red. He quickly lowered his head and shyly walked in.

He missed the flash of coldness in Lu Yanbai’s eyes.

“Come, sit.”

Lu Yanbai very courteously pulled out a chair for Xu Wanxing to sit down, pointing at the yellow roses. “Are these for me?”

Xu Wanxing nodded.

“Why yellow roses? Shouldn’t lovers give red roses?” Lu Yanbai asked.

Xu Wanxing blinked nervously. “There were only yellow roses left at the flower shop. Husband, you’re not angry, are you?”

Lu Yanbai chuckled. “How could I be angry? Seeing you buy me flowers, I’m too happy! But we thought alike; I bought you flowers too.”

Saying this, he brought a large bouquet of pink roses over from the side and handed it to Xu Wanxing.

What did the yellow roses mean? Did he want to apologize? Or was he forced to do something, and he was using the yellow roses to hint at him?

The light in Lu Yanbai’s eyes flickered and quickly vanished.

Xu Wanxing looked at the pink rose bouquet, which also included a small bear. If he were a girl, he would probably be completely captured by Lu Yanbai right now.

Oh, this is an ABO world. If he were an Omega, he would probably be completely in love with Lu Yanbai.

Lu Yanbai thoughtfully placed the two bouquets aside and asked, “Why did you suddenly think of asking me to take you out to eat?”

“Um, well…” Xu Wanxing’s mind raced. He couldn’t possibly say the System told him to. “Actually… actually, I haven’t had money to eat lately.”

Xu Wanxing pitifully rubbed his eyes, looking at Lu Yanbai with a hint of vulnerability.

Thanks to live streaming, he had developed a good skill for quick wit and improvisation.

“No money to eat?” Lu Yanbai raised an eyebrow, completely surprised that Xu Wanxing would say this.

“Is the money not enough? But I see you haven’t touched a single cent of the 100,000 yuan I gave you before.”

Xu Wanxing nodded. “I don’t want to use your money. I want our relationship to be the purest, unmixed with any interests. I want to save that 100,000 yuan for our wedding.”

Lu Yanbai’s heart trembled. Wedding? Xu Wanxing actually wants to marry him?!

Who is this person sent by? He still can’t figure out what Xu Wanxing wants to do.

His mind churned, but he showed nothing on his face.

Lu Yanbai said, “My silly baby, 100,000 yuan isn’t enough for a wedding! That was just spending money for you. The wedding will definitely be paid for by me. What kind of wedding do you want?”

Lu Yanbai was probing subtly.

They had only met a few times, and he was already asking about the wedding? The power of the plot is indeed infinite, Xu Wanxing inwardly sighed.

“For the wedding, I hope it can be simple—just two people who sincerely love each other having a harmonious meal with relatives and friends and holding a ceremony. Simple is good.”

This was purely Xu Wanxing’s personal preference. In the plot, his marriage with Lu Yanbai only involved registering their papers and didn’t even have a wedding, so the plot hadn’t given him any room for detailed arrangements.

That simple?

Lu Yanbai was somewhat incredulous. If Xu Wanxing had described an extremely extravagant, magnificent wedding, he could have still fooled himself that Xu Wanxing was only after his money, but now Xu Wanxing had completely thrown him off.

His idea was strangely similar to his own idea of a wedding! This was too much of a coincidence!

Xu Wanxing brought him too many coincidences, to the point where he wondered if Xu Wanxing was a figment of his imagination. Should he go see a psychiatrist?

“Husband, why are you spacing out?” Xu Wanxing waved his hand.

Lu Yanbai said, “My apologies. I was just thinking about going to the hospital.”

Xu Wanxing asked worriedly, “Husband, are you sick?”

Lu Yanbai said, “Ah, no. To check if I’m sick.” Hoping he didn’t have delusions.

“Right, are you really short on money, Baby?” Lu Yanbai changed the subject, scanning Xu Wanxing up and down.

He hadn’t lost weight. He was even a little heavier than he was a couple of days ago.

Did he get fat from being hungry?

Xu Wanxing didn’t reply, instead displaying a vulnerable but strong look, like a delicate white flower swaying in the wind. He took out his phone to show Lu Yanbai a picture.

Lu Yanbai’s pupils contracted when he saw the photo, and his voice was slightly shaky. “You’re only eating this?”

Cabbage mixed with rice, without a trace of meat.

If he ate this every day, wouldn’t he starve to death?

Lu Yanbai rubbed his fingers, recalling the slender, soft, and somewhat frail touch of his waist.

He was indeed very thin.

Very thin.

Xu Wanxing nodded. He wanted to try a roundabout approach. If he had to push Lu Yanbai into marrying him, rather than using violence, selling his misery might also work.

“Yes, I eat this every day. That’s why I really want my Husband to take me out for good food.”

Saying this, he reached out and took Lu Yanbai’s hand, placing his palm on his own stomach.

Inhale! Inhale! Tighten the stomach!

Xu Wanxing desperately told himself not to let his stomach stick out.

He was extremely conflicted on the way here and couldn’t resist eating something to soothe his anxiety, so he bought two corn dogs from the roadside. Those two dogs had already filled his stomach halfway.

If Lu Yanbai found out he had a round, full stomach from being “starved,” he’d be done for.

The lines of Lu Yanbai’s palm rested against the thin layer of clothing. The fragile skin underneath rose and fell, seeming to speak of its owner’s hunger.

Lu Yanbai’s eyes flickered, and he pressed his lips together. He had always been well-fed and without worry. He had witnessed human suffering, which was why he was passionate about charity.

But he never expected the person most in need of help to be right beside him. He was worth hundreds of millions, yet his lover was eating this bland white rice and cabbage every day, thin to the point of being unrecognizable.
