Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 26

Xu Wanxing laughed shamelessly, his face beaming. He leaned over and kissed Lu Yanbai, “Husband, you’re so good! One million yuan!”

That was enough for him to buy a house.

Not in the Imperial Capital, of course.

He couldn’t even afford half a bathroom here, but in a city suited for tourism and retirement, one million yuan made buying a house easily achievable.

He was only one person; he didn’t need much space.

A heart full of gratitude. He thanked Lu Yanbai for adding bricks and mortar to his retirement plan.

Xu Wanxing’s eyes were filled with admiration and worship when he looked at Lu Yanbai, seeing him as nothing less than a giant gold bar.

It was another materialistic day!

After some time being affectionate, Lu Yanbai left. The three days of heat had postponed too much work, and after seeing Xu Wanxing, he had to get back to business.

Xu Wanxing cheerfully held the bank card.

The System poured a bucket of cold water over him: 【Host, the money on the card cannot be used yet. You must wait until the plot ends.】

Oh, right!

Never mind. He had earned some money from live streaming, which should be enough to sustain him until the plot finished.

When that happened, this one million yuan would be his to spend freely, plus the ten million yuan Lu Yanbai would pay as the breakup fee. He would become rich overnight!

Xu Wanxing carefully put the bank card away.

Pei Yu’s face was as dark as charcoal. His gaze swept past Xu Wanxing’s lips.

Xu Wanxing’s face was flushed, the faint pink color on his fair skin being extremely attractive. His eyes held a subtle sheen of moisture, glistening and affectionate. Most striking were his lips.

They were full and bright red, looking luscious and delicate, even more vibrant than the pink roses on the table. Slightly swollen, they appeared even plumper and juicier, as if squeezing them would cause bright red juice to burst out like rose petals.

This was all Lu Yanbai’s doing—coaxing the young, green rose to bloom and radiate a brilliant luster.

Pei Yu was moody and felt a suffocating pressure, as if a huge rock were pressing down on his chest.

Why did he feel so uncomfortable when he and Xu Wanxing were just roommates?

It must be because Xu Wanxing brought his partner into the dorm, making it awkward for a single guy like him.

“Xu Wanxing,” Pei Yu spoke up. “Next time, don’t bring your partner to the dorm. The dorm is a communal space, not a hotel room you rent.”

Xu Wanxing paused, pressing his lips together apologetically. “I’m sorry, I’ll be careful next time.”

Lu Yanbai had shown up unannounced, and he hadn’t known Lu Yanbai would visit his dorm, but would Pei Yu believe him if he said that?

It seems Pei Yu really hates him, getting so eagerly upset.

Xu Wanxing was secretly pleased. He truly was a mission genius!

Pei Yu’s eyes lingered on Xu Wanxing’s lips for a few seconds before he said with disgust, “It’s normal for you to be young and ignorant, but your Alpha isn’t. He’s an adult treating the dorm like a hotel—do I need to tell you what kind of mindset that shows?”

“This Alpha clearly has ulterior motives! Did he just give you money? Are you really that desperate for money? If you need cash, you can ask me! What kind of college student gets sugar-daddied?”

Xu Wanxing: Oh my? He had said countless times that he wasn’t being sugar-daddied. Why wouldn’t Pei Yu believe him?

And he’s here slandering the protagonist shou. Logically, all of them should fall in love with the protagonist shou at first sight.

Maybe it just hasn’t gotten to the ‘love at first sight’ stage yet.

Xu Wanxing consoled himself. Pei Yu even mistook Lu Yanbai for an Alpha—he was truly blind.

At this moment, Xu Wanxing had forgotten that Lu Yanbai was wearing a high-collar shirt earlier, looking every bit like an Alpha through normal human eyes.

There were too many things to critique, so Xu Wanxing randomly picked one point to respond to. “Ask you for money? Are you rich?”

Since the plot primarily focused on the main couple, he wasn’t sure if the four people he was supposed to charm had money.

Pei Yu hesitated. He was trying to advise Xu Wanxing to return to the right path, but why was Xu Wanxing focusing on this?

“Yes, I’d say I’m quite rich.”

“Then give me some money.” Xu Wanxing held out his hand, his pale palm facing up and his tone slightly soft.

Could Pei Yu actually give him money?

He had seen plenty of blusterers.

He and Pei Yu were only nodding acquaintances, roommates under the same roof. They weren’t even half-friends and had no real bond.

Could he really give him money?

Pei Yu didn’t know where to look. Xu Wanxing seemed to possess a magic that completely broke through his mental defenses with just one sentence.

Did he just flirt with him?

So cute.

Pei Yu opened his drawer and shuffled through a few of his bank cards.

One card had 300,000 yuan—his prize money from winning a competition.

Hmm… is that too little?

Another card had over a million yuan—wages and savings accumulated over time.

That’s also not a lot…

He played esports purely for fun. He was just highly talented and won championships, never intending to earn a living from it.

He planned to play games in college and inherit the family business after graduation.

Pei Yu was filled with regret. One team had offered him ten million yuan to sign, and he had rejected it without thinking.

He didn’t have enough money to support a wife!

Why was he only realizing this now?

Money was a man’s charm; it was the best beauty filter.

The card tucked at the very bottom had three million yuan—his living expenses from his family. But since entering college, he had been earning his own money through esports and hadn’t touched a penny on that card.

Thinking of his two workaholic parents, who were constantly annoyed by him playing games, Pei Yu sighed. He’d just have to be compliant later.

He pulled out that bank card and placed it in Xu Wanxing’s palm, lightly squeezing Xu Wanxing’s hand as he did so.

It was quite soft.

Xu Wanxing stared dumbfounded at the bank card in his hand, momentarily ignoring Pei Yu’s touch, and looked at Pei Yu incredulously.

Wait, buddy, are you seriously giving me money?!

What kind of relationship do we even have?

“There’s three million yuan on this. That should be enough for you to live on. Can you break up with that Alpha?” Pei Yu proposed his condition.

Holy cow!

Pei Yu was that rich?

Oh, right, Pei Yu is an esports superstar. Although the plot described him as treating money like dirt and never enabling gift permissions on his streams, maybe playing esports was quite lucrative.

Three million yuan? To buy him out of his relationship with Lu Yanbai?

Could this be the legendary ‘love at first sight’? And the first step is eliminating him, the stepping stone.

Pei Yu, unaware of Xu Wanxing’s misconception, felt inexplicably anxious. He hadn’t been this nervous even when standing on the podium holding the trophy representing the highest honor. His fingers nervously tapped the desktop.

What a profitable transaction.

But he couldn’t break up with the protagonist shou—that was his mission!

Besides, Lu Yanbai would eventually give him the breakup fee.

Xu Wanxing squeezed the bank card in his hand. Faced with this overwhelming wealth, he could only accept one choice.

A deadly choice.

Choosing either would break his heart!

“I’m sorry, I can’t take this money.” Xu Wanxing shook his head and handed the bank card back to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu was confused. “I’m not lending it to you. Consider this a gift; you don’t have to pay me back. You don’t want it?”

A struggle flashed across Xu Wanxing’s face. “I can’t take it even as a gift. I can’t accept rewards for no service. I won’t break up with him. He and I are going to get married!”

Married?
