Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 22

After pulling the blanket over Lu Yanbai, Xu Wanxing lay down on the other side of the bed.

He set an alarm to wake up later and check Lu Yanbai’s temperature. If he was still burning up, they really needed to go to the hospital.

With that thought, Xu Wanxing fell asleep.

Listening to the steady breathing beside his ear, Lu Yanbai’s stiff body slowly relaxed.

Give him medicine, then go to sleep himself?

What is he trying to do?

He waited a bit longer. Once he was certain Xu Wanxing was asleep, Lu Yanbai quietly got up and found the powder he had hidden from the capsules. He took a pinch in his palm, rubbed it, and smelled it.

It was somewhat familiar, yet strange.

This bizarre little Omega truly made him unpredictable.

Lu Yanbai silently put the powder into a small bag, walked to the door, and handed it to his rushing secretary.

He spoke softly, “Check what this is.”

The secretary took the bag, hesitated, and then said, “CEO Lu, are you really going to stay here? I just found some information and sent it to you. Please consider it.”

Lu Yanbai waved the secretary away. Standing in the hallway, he opened the file his secretary sent.

Reading the words on the screen, Lu Yanbai’s pupils contracted violently, and his face turned dark, like a storm was brewing.

“He dared to lie to me?!”

The document was Xu Wanxing’s Imperial Capital University student registration, clearly marking his gender as:

Alpha.

Xu Wanxing was an Alpha, disguised as an Omega and lurking around him.

Knowing this truth, Lu Yanbai’s hands and feet turned ice cold, and his heart felt like it was weighted with lead, sinking to the bottom of a frozen sea.

He had watched Xu Wanxing touch his head and care for him, feeling the sweetness in his heart.

No matter how much his reason told him Xu Wanxing had an agenda, his heart had unconsciously sided with him, making excuses for him.

Perhaps he was just a poor Omega who was after his money and didn’t have much of a scheme.

He never expected that beneath the Omega disguise was an Alpha.

Recalling the long dress Xu Wanxing wore during their first meeting, and the statement about liking to wear skirts, Lu Yanbai twisted his lips into a desolate smile.

What Alpha would like to wear skirts?

He was just a liar.

Since he had differentiated into an Omega but took over Lu Corporation—with his grandfather’s will making him the heir to all of the Lu family’s wealth—he had been subjected to countless targeted assassinations.

Some were from Lu Corporation’s rivals, but most were from his own relatives—the Lu family.

In the face of money and power, everything could be corrupted, including family affection.

And that included the negligible “love” this Omega used as a facade to deceive him.

Lu Yanbai’s last shred of fantasy about Xu Wanxing shattered, and his heart plummeted.

He turned off his phone screen, closed his eyes, and let out a deep breath before returning to the room and lying next to Xu Wanxing.

Listening to the steady breathing beside him, the huge flame of anger in his heart couldn’t find an outlet.

Lu Yanbai clenched his fist and slowly relaxed it, giving a faint, miserable smile.

It seems he really fell for it.

The observer is confused by the situation.

He only discovered the truth now.

The Truth Unveiled

At three in the morning, the lights outside the window were still dazzling. This was the most prosperous city, the most extravagant place.

Where there is light, there is darkness, and in the pitch-black room,

Xu Wanxing heard the steady tick-tock of the alarm. He picked up his phone, the stark white light of the screen illuminating his face.

Ah, it’s time. Why does he feel so sleepy he could die?

Xu Wanxing turned off the alarm, too lazy to even turn on the light. He rolled over toward Lu Yanbai and reached out to touch his forehead.

F**k, he’s burning up!

Is Lu Yanbai going to die from the fever?!

Xu Wanxing frantically tried to calm himself. He’s the protagonist shou. He’s the protagonist shou. He definitely won’t die.

His sleepiness was completely gone. Xu Wanxing flipped over, turned on the light, and looked at Lu Yanbai, whose cheeks were flushed and whose breathing was hot.

He’s going to die! He’s going to die! He’s going to die!

He’s burning up like this!

Lu Yanbai wasn’t actually asleep; he was lying with his eyes closed, cautiously observing his surroundings.

Feeling the light turn on, Lu Yanbai couldn’t tell if he was happy or sad. Xu Wanxing was about to reveal his scheme, yet he felt no joy in defeating a conspiracy.

Xu Wanxing made a phone call, and Lu Yanbai’s heart tensed.

He must be reporting to his leader.

Xu Wanxing sat on the bed, his face full of anxiety. As soon as the call connected, he rushed to speak: “Hello, is this 911? I have a patient here with a high fever. The address is XXXX. Please dispatch an ambulance immediately. Okay, okay, yes, please. Thank you.”

Lu Yanbai’s fragile resolve immediately shattered.

911?

What kind of decent leader has 911 as their contact number?

F**k.

Lu Yanbai, who was extremely well-mannered, couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

Xu Wanxing hung up the phone, hurriedly got out of bed, wet a towel with ice water, and placed it on Lu Yanbai’s forehead. His eyes were teary, as if he were about to cry.

Lu Yanbai quietly opened his eyes a crack and looked at Xu Wanxing.

He made him cry?!

Xu Wanxing’s eyes were red like a rabbit’s. He kept biting his lip, his face full of tension, worry, and fear.

His beautiful face was etched with misery and distress.

Lu Yanbai instantly lost his composure, wanting to sit up and pull Xu Wanxing into his arms to comfort him.

Damn it, what kind of Alpha is Xu Wanxing to be so endearing?

Don’t cry…

Before Lu Yanbai could sit up, the ambulance arrived.

Luxury districts really are different; the ambulance arrived as quickly as a plane takes off and lands.

Hearing the knock, Xu Wanxing quickly ran to open the door.

“Where is the patient?”

The medical staff followed Xu Wanxing and quickly walked into the room, seeing Lu Yanbai on the bed.

…Is he an idiot?

Even as a Beta, he could smell the strong pheromones in the air. This was clearly an Omega in heat.

Why call 911 for an ambulance?

Is he mentally ill?

Couldn’t he just find an Alpha? A single Omega just toughs it out. He’ll be fine after a few days.

Everyone gets through it that way.

Why call an ambulance for him? That’s a waste of resources!

The medical worker was mentally cursing until he saw the red-eyed Xu Wanxing standing next to him, and the curses suddenly stopped.

This face-centric world.

He’s a face-con too.

“He’s in heat. Why did you call an ambulance?” the medical worker asked.

Xu Wanxing froze, not knowing where to look. “Heat?! Not a fever? I thought he was burning up.”

The medical worker said, “Of course not! Don’t you have any common sense? Omegas in heat are always like this. Did you not pay attention in your physiological education class?”

Xu Wanxing’s cheeks were flushed, and he said awkwardly, “I’m sorry for bothering you. Um, I… I wasn’t good at my studies.”

He was transmigrated. How could he have taken a physiological education class? Of course he wouldn’t know.

He suddenly recalled the System telling him to bite the protagonist shou. Could it be that he was supposed to do it during the protagonist shou’s heat?

That’s like kicking someone while they’re down.

Contemptible, shameless, and indecent!

After seeing the medical staff out of the room, Xu Wanxing looked at Lu Yanbai lying on the bed, feeling troubled.

What should he do? He definitely couldn’t be the one to solve Lu Yanbai’s heat.

He’s a straight man. He likes gentle and cute girls.

Lu Yanbai was handsome, but his gender was wrong.

Should he find the protagonist gong instead?
