Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 75

Classic lines.

Shen Yuxian clearly wasn’t awake, as he was slow to reply to the message.

Xu Wanxing fell asleep while enjoying the shade, his body curled up on the rocking chair. The rustling of the leaves in the wind became the best lullaby.

When he woke up, the sunset and evening glow were intertwined in the distance. It was probably around 5 PM.

The face of the person beside him was illuminated by the fiery red of the sunset, which neutralized his cold and aloof temperament.

Xu Wanxing rubbed his eyes and looked closely.

“Husband? What are you doing here?”

Xu Wanxing sat up and noticed a thin blanket covering him. Lu Yanbai closed his laptop in front of him and meticulously folded the blanket he had just been using.

“I saw you sleeping here, so I kept you company. It’s almost time for the banquet. I’ll take you upstairs to change clothes.”

Xu Wanxing changed into the outfit Lu Yanbai had prepared and went downstairs. The hall was already filled with guests.

Elder Lu’s birthday banquet was considered a family affair, only inviting people who were relatively close.

Lu Yanbai led Xu Wanxing to greet the elders, then told Xu Wanxing to go off and entertain himself, as the upcoming socializing would be too boring, and Xu Wanxing probably wouldn’t like it.

Xu Wanxing spotted a small, sweet orange-flavored cake and walked toward it. Before his hand could touch the cake, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the only small cake.

Xu Wanxing frowned subtly and looked at the person who had taken his small cake.

“…” He quietly averted his gaze.

Lin Yao held the small cake in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other. He took a sip of wine and looked at Xu Wanxing with a smile, calling out to him.

“What, little drunkard, don’t you recognize me?”

“…”

Xu Wanxing wanted to leave but was blocked by Lin Yao, who then shoved the cake in his hand towards Xu Wanxing.

“Eat it. Don’t be polite with me,” Lin Yao said with an air of dominance.

Xu Wanxing took a bite of the small cake, paused at the remark, and wondered why he needed to be polite with Lin Yao. This was a small cake from Elder Lu’s birthday banquet. What did it have to do with Lin Yao?

What’s wrong with him!

The cake was small, and Xu Wanxing finished it in a few bites, licking the orange crumbs from the corner of his mouth.

It was sweet and really delicious. Eating sweets certainly lifted his mood. He now looked at Lin Yao with much more favorable eyes.

“What’s the matter? Are you looking for me for something?” Xu Wanxing asked.

Xu Wanxing looked very handsome today. The suit he was wearing was custom-made by Lu Yanbai, which perfectly showcased his figure.

Xu Wanxing was not frail; he was the type who looked lean in clothes but had muscle underneath. The suit made his shoulders look broad, his waist slender, and his legs long.

But none of that compared to the tiny speck of cream clinging to the corner of his mouth. Just that little bit, like a small adornment on his lip. It made people want to wipe it off for him, yet feel reluctant to do so.

The orange cake had ice cream filling, which chilled Xu Wanxing’s lips, making them rosy and making the cream at the corner of his mouth even more noticeable.

Lin Yao’s gaze was locked on the corner of Xu Wanxing’s mouth. He was extremely close to Xu Wanxing, close enough to smell the sweet scent of orange on him.

He didn’t like sweets, but at this moment, he felt an urge to taste it.

Lin Yao licked his lips, his voice slightly husky. “Is there any more of this small cake?”

Xu Wanxing pointed to a pile of small cakes on the side. “There.”

Lin Yao shook his head. “There are no orange ones here. I want the orange one.” Xu Wanxing had just tasted that flavor.

At this moment, Lin Yao was suddenly a little annoyed. Before, Xu Wanxing had actively come to his bed and seduced him, but he hadn’t been moved. Now, Xu Wanxing clearly had no interest in him, yet he felt an unbearable itch in his heart.

He wished he could press Xu Wanxing against the wall right now and savagely taste the sweet flavor of that small orange cake on his lips and teeth.

The inherent flaw of men.

The more unattainable something is, the more they want it.

Lin Yao suddenly realized he was falling, and his face became very grim.

To think that he, a playboy who passed through flower gardens without staining his leaves, would be tricked into giving his heart to a poor college student like Xu Wanxing, who borrowed money to save his grandmother.

What a huge joke!

He had actually been defeated by Xu Wanxing!

This was too funny, but upon closer inspection, everything had been traceable.

From the panda ears before to the small cake now, he had fallen step by step into the trap Xu Wanxing had carefully woven.

Lin Yao lifted his glass and took a large gulp of wine, his eyes deep and intense. “I won’t say more. I have something to attend to. I’ll be leaving now.”

He was running away. Even when facing true love, he was at a loss.

The only thing he could do now was to quickly distance himself to avoid falling deeper in love.

Xu Wanxing nodded. Lin Yao took two steps, then turned back to look at him.

“Xu Wanxing, if Lu Yanbai ever treats you badly, come find me.”

He then walked away without looking back, as if something terrifying was chasing him.

Xu Wanxing: Ding, Good Guy Card!

He knew Lin Yao was a good person. He didn’t let him pay back the money before, and now he was offering to back him up.

What a kind heart. He just didn’t know what Lin Yao was gaining from it.

Xu Wanxing sighed in admiration.

There were quite a few younger guests at the old gentleman’s birthday banquet, around his age.

Most of them were outstanding Alphas and Omegas. Betas were rarely seen in big families.

Xu Wanxing looked at the men and women talking, and the most dazzling one was still Lu Yanbai.

Xu Wanxing gradually became absorbed in watching him. Suddenly, his chest felt cold. A slender waiter accidentally spilled wine on his chest. Immediately afterward, the waiter let out a light and delicate gasp.

He threw himself into Xu Wanxing’s arms, wanting to wipe the clothes on his chest clean.

Xu Wanxing: What an old routine. Why is this happening to me?

Did he look rich? This waiter had poor judgment.

For Elder Lu’s birthday banquet, the villa didn’t have enough staff, so they hired several waiters from a large hotel that frequently hosted banquets.

Xu Wanxing had thought they were all seasoned professionals, but he never expected the “seasoned professionalism” to be this.

Xu Wanxing grabbed the waiter’s hand, which was roaming over his chest. “Stop touching. Did you mistake me for someone else?”

He could tell this waiter was premeditated. There were seven or eight glasses of wine on the tray. This waiter deliberately used only one glass and pretended to accidentally spill it on his chest.

He was probably afraid that seven or eight glasses of wine would give him a red wine bath and make him angry.

Xu Wanxing knew he was just a small cannon fodder. This kind of “Tom-Sue” plot shouldn’t happen to him.

The waiter, whose slender wrist was caught, had a pointed chin, and a blush gradually spread across his cheeks.

“Y-yes, I’m sorry, Sir. I didn’t mean to. Let me wipe it clean for you, or you can take off your clothes, and I’ll take them home and wash them for you. I promise I will clean them thoroughly and return them to you.”

“Sir, please trust my character. This is my mistake, and I will bravely take responsibility for it.”

Xu Wanxing: This plot is even more familiar.

Next, should he harshly challenge the waiter, give him the clothes to wash, and after going back and forth, he would fall for the waiter—this pure, lonely white lotus—and they would end up together?

Xu Wanxing: Sorry, this is not within my scope of work.

Gotta charge extra for that!

Xu Wanxing grabbed the waiter’s arm, gently pushed him away, and refused.
