Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 68

In the plot, Old Master Lu didn’t give the protagonist-gong—a powerful, influential, rich, handsome man with excellent conditions in all aspects—a good look.

Moreover, the protagonist-gong, for Lu Yanbai’s sake, had extensively researched Old Master Lu’s preferences beforehand and gifted him his favorite jade carving at their meeting.

It was a limited edition, carved by a famous artist.

Even so, Old Master Lu remained aloof, but he was, nevertheless, the closest person to Lu Yanbai.

When Lu Yanbai’s parents were busy enjoying themselves and neglected him, the old man raised Lu Yanbai from childhood and eventually handed the enormous Lu family enterprise over to him.

Old Master Lu had a very peculiar temper. Furthermore, in what capacity would Xu Wanxing be meeting him?

Probably as Lu Yanbai’s partner. How could he be worthy? He was inferior to the protagonist-gong in every way; he was just a gold-digging cannon fodder.

Xu Wanxing: Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

I’ve been honest. Please let me go.

It could be said that Old Master Lu was an extremely high-ranking and powerful person. His eyes were his ruler.

He could discern a person with a single glance. Xu Wanxing, originally an Alpha pretending to be an Omega and now exposed as a small-for-nothing, feared being scrutinized by Old Master Lu’s laser-like gaze.

Moreover, if Old Master Lu discovered that he had lured away his most beloved grandson, Lu Yanbai, would he break his legs?

Xu Wanxing vaguely felt like he was a young ruffian on a loud scooter, who had successfully lured away a beautiful, well-educated, and rich daughter, and was now going to her family’s house to show off.

Who could tolerate that?

The old man was a former soldier. A military man from that era—imagine how formidable he was. Iron-fisted, decisive, and never taking ‘no’ for an answer.

With his small frame, Xu Wanxing couldn’t withstand two heavy blows from the old man.

Xu Wanxing recalled the scene from the plot where the protagonist-gong met the old man with Lu Yanbai. At that time, the protagonist-gong and Lu Yanbai were already deeply in love.

But upon meeting, the protagonist-gong tried to flatter the old man but put his foot in his mouth, saying the old man had good genes, looking both “old and handsome,” which was why Lu Yanbai was good-looking.

The old man immediately became furious. The elderly hate being reminded of their age, especially when he had once been gloriously dazzling and found it hard to accept his current frail state.

The protagonist-gong brought up the exact thing that angered him. The old man was infuriated, immediately pulling out his cane and beating the protagonist-gong until he begged for mercy.

Old Master Lu’s cane was heavy and valuable, worth a fortune, made from excellent black wood. The black wood naturally emitted a metallic sheen, and the impact of a strike was doubly painful.

Xu Wanxing: What’s the difference between that and equipping a double-critical-hit item?

Oh my goodness! If Old Master Lu used that cane on him, it wouldn’t just be about getting hit twice. He’d probably need to contact the best orthopedic surgeon.

The last class of the afternoon was with the old professor. The old professor was in high spirits today, with a sparkle in his eyes when he looked at people.

Perhaps due to joy, he rattled off questions to over 20 students in this class. The total number of people in the classroom wasn’t much more, even though it was a mixed class.

Among those called upon were the unlucky Xu Wanxing and his neighbor, Ji Rongyu.

That’s right, he was sitting next to Ji Rongyu again. Every time he came to the classroom, the only empty seat was next to Ji Rongyu. He and Ji Rongyu were practically fixed desk-mates for Advanced Mathematics.

Little did he know.

Before Xu Wanxing arrived, seven or eight students, male and female, had lined up to ask Ji Rongyu if they could sit next to him. Ji Rongyu refused each one, telling them he had a partner and asking them to stop liking him.

He deliberately saved the seat next to him for Xu Wanxing.

From initially disliking having anyone next to him, he now hoped that person would always be Xu Wanxing.

A stylishly dressed girl was displeased. She bit her lip and sat in the row behind the empty seat next to Ji Rongyu.

She knew that Ji Rongyu always sat with a rather handsome guy in Advanced Math class. Could Ji Rongyu like him?

Shortly after Xu Wanxing sat down, the old professor called him to the podium to solve a triple integral problem.

The old professor emphasized that the problem was difficult and that one could step down if they couldn’t solve it.

Xu Wanxing looked at the knowledge points on the blackboard, which were identical to problems he had practiced, and smiled faintly.

This makes him invincible.

For the first time, Xu Wanxing felt the strategic confidence of a top student. After rapidly writing down the solution, Xu Wanxing felt immensely satisfied.

Is this what showing off feels like?

So satisfying!

No wonder he thought Ji Rongyu liked to show off so much.

The stylish girl stared blankly at Xu Wanxing on the podium for a moment. Besides her, Ji Rongyu was also watching Xu Wanxing, his eyes wide with intensity.

Xu Wanxing’s smile was bright, and his eyes seemed to twinkle with stars, just like his name, Xu Wanxing (Evening Star).

Normally, he was beautiful like a delicately crafted vase, but now he was glowing on the stage.

The students below spontaneously applauded. Anyone who could solve such a difficult problem was truly impressive.

Ji Rongyu murmured Xu Wanxing’s name. The heart in his chest was pounding fiercely, and his eyes held the kind of hidden adoration typical of someone in love.

He can even solve this kind of problem, so why did he ask me such a simple question last time?

Indeed, I know his heart.

He had been foolish before and rejected Xu Wanxing once. He suspected that this was what made Xu Wanxing lose the courage to confess to him again.

But it didn’t matter. He was willing to be the proactive one in their love story, on Xu Wanxing’s behalf.

After solving the problem, Xu Wanxing stepped down from the podium. The first row was very close to the podium, yet Ji Rongyu felt every second drag on like an eternity, wishing time would forever stop at this moment.

The moment Xu Wanxing walked slowly towards him.

Xu Wanxing sat down. The stylish girl behind him was surprised to see Xu Wanxing’s nape exposed.

He’s not an Omega?!

Then it seems he and Ji Rongyu must be just friends.

This means I have a good chance!

The stylish girl quietly wrote a note and tapped Xu Wanxing’s back. Xu Wanxing turned around, surprised.

“For you,” the girl’s voice was soft and weak, carrying a shyness she didn’t even realize.

She didn’t notice it, but someone else did. Ji Rongyu’s eyes were fixed intently on the two of them, his gaze terrifyingly deep.

Xu Wanxing took the note and opened it to read. Ji Rongyu promptly leaned over and whispered, “What did it say? Is it a confession?”

He secretly judged: Fickle!

This girl just asked if she could sit next to him, and now she’s passing this kind of thing to Xu Wanxing.

Can’t there be some order? Can’t you try for him first?

But Xu Wanxing was an Alpha. It was perfectly normal for him to like the Omega girl behind him.

Ji Rongyu’s heart churned with jealousy. Yet, he realized he had no right to be jealous, which made him feel even more wretched.

“What did she write?” Ji Rongyu asked.
