The Innocent 'Green Tea' Alpha at Home is Actually My Boss - Chapter 23

Sang Weilian never imagined that one day he would be sitting in a dressing room watching an Alpha do something so preposterous.

Lu Lin was in his car, so there was no need to worry about outsiders finding out. However, Sang was in a dressing room at his workplace; he couldn’t leave behind even a trace of pheromones. Thus, he could only endure time and again, refusing to act even when discomfort stirred in certain places.

He watched as Lu Lin released into his own hand, then meticulously used wet wipes to clean away every trace, reverting back to the image of a dejected, well-behaved puppy.

Sang Weilian’s mind was wandering. Before he could decide what to say, he heard Lu Lin speak up aggrievedly, “Ge, my hand hurts a bit. I think I accidentally pressed on it just now.”

In the heat of their fooling around, both had pushed the injury to the back of their minds. Sang Weilian’s expression changed instantly.

“Drive yourself back to that place from last time and have Dr. Xu look at it. I’m coming back now.”

With that, he abruptly hung up the video call and got into his car with a grim expression.

Wang Gu thought something major had happened. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“To Dr. Xu’s,” Sang Weilian commanded.

Hearing the name “Dr. Xu,” Wang Gu assumed Sang was feeling unwell again and slammed his foot on the accelerator, speeding onto the road.

However, when they arrived at the hospital and saw Lu Lin in Dr. Xu’s private consultation room, Wang Gu rolled his eyes hard.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm. As expected of a premium Alpha, Lu Lin’s wound was healing faster than imagined; he had simply tugged at the sutures, causing the wound to darken slightly in color.

Before leaving, Sang Weilian went to the restroom, and Wang Gu caught the stray Lu Lin.

“Lu Lin, I’ve looked into that web drama The Prince and I. As long as Weilian says the word, you’re in the cast.”

Lu Lin wasn’t surprised that Sang Weilian had told Wang Gu to look into it. He thanked him repeatedly, “Sorry for the trouble, Manager Wang. I’ll be sure to thank Ge properly.”

Wang Gu paused slightly at the term “Ge” and said, “I won’t meddle too much in your business with Sang Weilian. Even though I didn’t approve at first since it has to stay hidden you saved him this time. As his manager, and as Weilian’s only friend in this circle for the past few years, it’s only right that I say ‘thank you’ to you.”

“As long as you stay in your place, don’t harbor any ideas you shouldn’t have, and don’t hurt him, I won’t interfere with you.”

Lu Lin frowned, as if Wang Gu had said something incomprehensible.

Without waiting for him to speak, Wang Gu continued to emphasize, “Weilian has always been very resistant to Alphas, but you are an exception. Considering you saved him, I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it?”

“Usually, after Weilian goes through something bad, his state of mind becomes extremely poor. But today at work, his condition was unexpectedly good. Perhaps you are a help to him. So, please take good care of him these next few days.”

Lu Lin’s brow smoothed over. “Manager Wang, you’re overthinking it. It’s impossible for me to hurt him. As for taking care of him, you don’t need to ask that’s something I would do anyway.”

Wang Gu froze. For a moment, he saw a flash of sharpness and pressure in Lu Lin that shouldn’t have been there. Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Wang Gu was usually slick and could see through people at a glance, but Lu Lin was an anomaly.

He didn’t just want scraps of resources, nor did he try to cozy up to other artists or investors. All day long, he just circled around Sang Weilian.

Wang Gu began to suspect that Lu Lin was after Sang Weilian himself.

Huh?

Wait, HUH?!

Wang Gu’s eyes suddenly widened. He felt like he had stumbled upon a staggering secret.

“You… you couldn’t possibly…” He pointed at Lu Lin, his face full of shock.

Lu Lin didn’t know exactly what he was thinking, but being as clever as he was, he simply smiled. “Manager Wang can think whatever he likes. My goal is very simple.”

Wang Gu couldn’t help but curse in his heart: Simple, my foot!

“What are you two chatting about?” Sang Weilian asked curiously, looking at Wang Gu’s bruised-looking complexion. “What? Did you bully him?”

Wang Gu had a hardship he couldn’t voice. “How could I? Lu Lin is your savior; I can’t thank him enough! I was just telling him about that web drama you asked me to look into.”

“Oh, that The Prince and I?”

Lu Lin smiled and replied, “Yes. Thank you, Ge and Manager Wang, for pulling strings for me. Luckily, the role I want isn’t very competitive.”

“The web drama market is average right now,” Sang Weilian analyzed seriously.

“Gege has worked hard.” Lu Lin naturally knew this, but he didn’t care. He stepped forward diligently to massage Sang Weilian’s shoulders, acting very close to him.

Watching from behind, Wang Gu clenched his fists indignantly, becoming even more determined to prepare the official relationship announcement draft in advance.

On the way back, Wang Gu drove the spare nanny van back to the company, while Sang Weilian drove his own car.

Passing the supermarket they usually frequented, Lu Lin, sitting in the passenger seat, asked, “Ge, we haven’t bought groceries yet. What do you want to eat tonight? Should I go down and buy some?”

Sang Weilian glared at him crossly. “And then tear your wound again and go see Dr. Xu? Are you doing it on purpose?”

Lu Lin shook his head repeatedly. “No, no. Then Gege decides what to eat. I’m fine with eating thin air.”

“Smart mouth!” Sang Weilian teased him, then added, “First, we go to your place to get your things.”

“What?”

“Medicine, and your clothes. You’re staying at my place tonight.”

Living at Lu Lin’s house wasn’t uncomfortable, but after all, the security wasn’t professional. Sooner or later, someone would recognize him, and it would be a huge hassle if reporters came knocking.

He had intended not to rely too much on Lu Lin, but even if the house had been disinfected, he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep if he went back alone. If that affected his state for the upcoming filming, it would be a problem. Furthermore, since they were currently in the temporary marking stage, his need for his Alpha was only natural.

After convincing himself, Sang Weilian felt perfectly justified.

Lu Lin naturally had no objections to Sang Weilian’s suggestion. After returning to Cuiya Garden with him to grab his things, they went back to Sang Weilian’s residence.

The housekeeping service Wang Gu found was very professional. Not only had they cleaned and disinfected the interior, but even the floor tiles in the hallway were polished to a shine—not a single strand of hair was left behind.

As the two pushed open the front door, Sang Weilian’s eyes instinctively drifted toward the floor next to the telephone on the entryway cabinet. However, before his gaze could land there, darkness covered his vision.

Lu Lin’s movement wasn’t heavy, yet it brooked no resistance. He cupped Sang’s cheek, forcing him to turn his head, and leaned down to kiss him directly.

Sang Weilian couldn’t push him away; his hands were pressed against Lu Lin’s chest. Soon, his waist tightened, and he was lifted to sit on the entryway cabinet.

The mountain-spring-scented pheromones were like a boisterous, triumphant child, rushing wildly through the house, completely enveloping the few wild rose scents Sang Weilian emitted.

Sang Weilian felt something wasn’t right. He felt as if every pore of his body was radiating Lu Lin’s scent; he didn’t feel like himself anymore.

“Lu… Lu Lin…” As his skin met hot breath on his neck, Sang Weilian’s hand trembled as he hooked it around Lu Lin’s shoulder, reaching up to pinch his ear. “Stop messing around.”

Lu Lin really did stop, but he continued to hold him, burying his head in Sang’s neck, sounding a bit aggrieved: “I can only be smug for a few more hours. I couldn’t help myself. Don’t be mad, Gege.”

Sang Weilian’s hand on his ear stiffened. He changed to wrapping his arms around Lu Lin’s neck, pulling him closer, and left a crimson teeth mark on his lower lip before kissing him again.

After fooling around in the entryway, it was another half-hour before they actually entered the house.

During dinner, Sang Weilian noticed that whenever he tried to look at the spot where the incident had occurred, Lu Lin would start pestering him again. The meal took a long time to finish. Even someone slow-witted could guess what the kid was doing.

“I’m not as fragile as you think. I’ve dealt with sasaengs stalking me and anti-fans trying to harm me many times,” Sang Weilian said, trying to keep his tone light. “Do you remember that time on the internet where I was filmed throwing a fan’s flowers? That anti-fan hadn’t done it for the first time; they hid a voodoo doll in the flowers, with scissors stabbed right into the doll’s heart.”

“So, this time is pretty much the same.”

Lu Lin was silent for a moment. He probably understood what Wang Gu meant about Sang Weilian’s state being poor after bad experiences.

Reaching out to take Sang Weilian’s hand, Lu Lin didn’t continue the previous topic. Instead, he acted spoiled: “Gege, my hand hurts, but I want to take a bath.”

Constantly remembering what happened would only deepen the anxiety. It was better to keep him busy so he didn’t have time to think.

Sang Weilian slapped him lightly. “Go run the bathwater.”

“On it!” Lu Lin immediately ran toward the bathroom with a smile.

After Lu Lin’s distraction, Sang Weilian showered with him, helped him apply medicine, and was pestered into explaining the script for over an hour. It wasn’t until just before bed that he remembered so much had happened over the past two days that he hadn’t given him the earphones yet.

Pushing away the Lu Lin who was clinging to him, Sang Weilian turned on the bedside lamp and got out of bed.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Lin sat up, looking bewildered.

“This is for you.” Sang Weilian handed over the earphone gift box. “It’s an unreleased new product the brand gave me when I attended the Siny earphone event.”

They were the exact same earphones Sang Weilian had asked Wan Tianhai to pass on to him!

But while the item was the same, the meaning was different!

Lu Lin asked expectantly, “Is this a gift from Gege?”

“It was just convenient…” Sang Weilian paused. Noticing the intense expectation in Lu Lin’s eyes, he changed his tune. “It counts as a gift. Actually, I originally wanted it to be a reward.”

“A reward for what?” Lu Lin persisted, kneeling on the bed and leaning forward.

Sang Weilian smiled. “A reward for being obedient.”

“Thank you, Ge. I will definitely cherish them.” Lu Lin held the gift box, the grin on his face impossible to hide.

This was the one Sang Weilian was giving to the real Lu Lin.

For the next few days, Sang Weilian was constantly pursued by Lu Lin. His words never went unanswered; whatever he wanted to drink or eat, Lu Lin would prepare it in advance. When he wanted to work quietly, Lu Lin was like a warm, large dog, sitting beside him to keep him company.

If he was in a good mood and patted Lu Lin’s head or kissed him, the man really acted like a dog his tail would be over the moon.

The once familiar unpleasantness was replaced by a strange yet warm and peaceful daily routine. Sang Weilian couldn’t help but think that living like this for a while wasn’t so bad.

Fortunately, on Tuesday of the new week, a scheduled interview came along, and he returned to his busy pace of life.

This interview was arranged by the Central Station. They only provided a question script in advance without a template for answers, but since it mostly revolved around reflections on his acting career, it was familiar territory for Sang Weilian.

After the interview, there was a promotional VCR for the station to record. By the time they finished, the sky was almost dark.

Usually at this time, Lu Lin would send a message asking what he wanted for dinner so he could order takeout in advance, but today the phone had been silent.

Although Sang Weilian felt a bit unaccustomed to it, he didn’t think too much until Wang Gu, who was driving, picked up a phone call.

“What?! Lu Lin got into a conflict with Fang Wenbin at the company?”

Sang Weilian’s face darkened instantly. He ordered immediately, “To the company.”

Would you like me to continue translating the next chapter or summarize the conflict at the company?
