The Omega's Vow: Never Marry a Mama's Boy Alpha - Chapter 10

Wen Yan closed the script. Across from her, Lin Ye and Wen Xiu were both peeling shrimp, their movements oddly synchronized. With their calm and indifferent expressions, there was an indescribable harmony between them.

Wen Yan was somewhat surprised. After all, her younger brother was usually very sensitive to the presence of alphas and avoided close contact with them in crowds whenever possible.

Had he encountered an alpha he liked?
Was this his type?

Lin Ye looked up and placed the peeled crayfish meat into a bowl, where it had already piled up into a small mountain. Wen Yan glanced darkly at the pot sure enough, there wasn’t much left.

This Director Lin certainly didn’t hold back.

Wen Yan gritted her teeth.

“What do you think?” Lin Ye removed her gloves, placed the crayfish meat in the center of the table, and wiped her slender fingers with a wet towel.
“Are you interested?”

Compared to eating crayfish, Lin Ye enjoyed the process of meticulously peeling them for others even more.

For the Fifth Young Miss, such a small amount of meat was hardly satisfying, she much preferred the garlic butter and cheese lobster her mother made.

Still, not many people had the privilege of receiving her service; usually, only her mother and sisters did.

Wen Yan’s expression softened slightly. “The script is good, but I’ll need to check my schedule.
I currently have three projects lined up.”

Lin Ye immediately took out her checkbook and asked with utmost seriousness, “Do you accept buyouts?”

Wen Yan, who was drinking water, choked and nearly spat it out. Wen Xiu quickly handed her a tissue.

A buyout industry jargon for paying to secure an actor’s time. Unlike regular pay, a buyout is time-based, and the more famous the actor, the higher the cost.

There was once a large-scale historical palace drama that, to speed up filming, bought out numerous A-list actors, resulting in a staggering 1.3 billion yuan spent on actor fees alone.

Wen Yan found it rather exaggerated that she would receive such an honor so soon after taking on roles.

“I’m afraid not.”

She understood what Lin Ye meant by a buyout, it would prioritize the schedule for Rivalry. But she had also invested effort into her other projects, especially Emperor Wu, which she couldn’t simply abandon.

Lin Ye put away her checkbook, a trace of weariness in her eyes.

Her disappointment wasn’t overt, but Wen Yan felt as though she were looking at a dejected young girl.

Wen Yan pursed her lips, her gaze falling on the bowl of crayfish meat. This Director Lin had left a good impression on her. The script was excellent, and she was being offered the female lead role.

Wen Yan decided to compromise.

“I can postpone the schedules for the two projects filming in the capital. The other one, Emperor Wu, is being shot at Hengdian and starts a bit later, so I should be able to manage both.
Apart from that, I’m available to work at any time.
You can pay me the standard rate, no need for a buyout.
What do you think? Is that acceptable?”

Lin Ye looked at her and voiced her final concern. “There’s one scene in the script that places high demands on the female lead.”

Wen Yan knew she was being tactful and replied, “You mean the abortion scene, right?
The actress I fired couldn’t get it right after six takes and ended up crying, saying she couldn’t do it.”

“I’ll be very strict.”
“Do you have time after the meal? My set is nearby. Would you like to do a screen test?”

“Sure.”

Wen Yan picked up a piece of meat for her brother, the very one Lin Ye had peeled and Wen Xiu softly said, “Thank you, sis.”

The familiar scene made Lin Ye momentarily lost in thought.

“Then I’ll wait for you at the set. Sorry for the interruption.”

“If you’re not sure of the exact location, you can call me. The number is on the business card.”

Wen Yan glanced at the string of numbers and nodded. “Alright, Director Lin.”

It was only then that Gu Lin realized she hadn’t revealed her true identity. She had been too focused on business matters to mention it, and honestly, she didn’t really want to.

So she simply left.

Before leaving, she paid Wen Yan’s bill.

Her assistant, Qin Xia, was standing nearby when she settled the check. His face remained stern and professional, but inside, he was screaming like a groundhog.

Ahhhh!

When had the ever-unapproachable Fifth Young Miss ever paid for an omega before?!

And this omega was her fiancée!

Was the iron tree finally blooming?!

Had the glaciers finally melted?!

Could the movie queen finally get to hold her grandchild?!

Following closely behind Gu Lin, he quickly sent a message to the movie queen to report this momentous news!

Agent Qin: [Madam! You’re about to become a grandmother!]

At that moment, Ye Lan was already lying in bed with a facial mask on. She was meticulous about her health and skincare, and since retiring from acting, she had stuck to the unshakable routine of sleeping before 10 p.m. and waking at 7 a.m.

Otherwise, how could she maintain such a youthful and smooth complexion?

Her phone chimed, and Ye Lan glanced at it casually, only for her eyes to widen in shock. A surge of anger shot straight to the top of her head, making her temples throb with pain.

Mother of Five Little Ones: [Which little tramp climbed into my Xiao Wu’s bed?!]

It wasn’t surprising that Ye Lan was so protective. From a young age, Gu Lin had never liked interacting with omegas. As she grew older and her looks became even more captivating, her sharp tongue had the power to infuriate any omega who dared to develop a crush on her.

Ye Lan had watched it all unfold, worrying so much that a few strands of her hair had turned white. Was the little alpha she had worked so hard to give birth to actually into A/A relationships?

But she had never seen Gu Lin get close to any alpha friends either.

For twenty-two years, the girl had never been in a relationship. Whether male or female, omega or alpha, she showed no interest.

The concept of love and romance seemed entirely foreign to her.

Only then did Ye Lan truly understand the meaning of “asexual.”

And now, her Xiao Wu, who in Ye Lan’s mind was absolutely incapable of making such a mistake, had gotten someone pregnant. It must have been that little tramp who drugged and seduced her!

Who was it?!

Even if that little tramp managed to marry into the family, Ye Lan would never let her have an easy time!

The only daughter-in-law she acknowledged was Wen Yan!

Agent Qin: [It’s Miss Wen Yan!]

Ye Lan stared at her phone, countless question marks flashing through her mind.

????

Was the progress this fast?

She touched her cheek, inexplicably feeling a bit sore.

Agent Qin: [Director Lin ran into Fifth Young Miss in Hengdian. They had a meal together, and Director Lin even invited Miss Wen Yan to play the female lead in her movie!]

After sending the message, Qin Xia suddenly remembered that Director Lin had instructed him not to tell Madam about the casting change. Panicking, he instinctively tried to recall the message.

But his hand trembled, and he accidentally hit delete instead.

Ahhhh!

Qin Xia clutched his head, weeping in despair.

His career as an agent was over!

Ye Lan didn’t care about that at all. Her only thought was: Sob sob, as expected, Xiao Wu is still the obedient baby who does whatever she says.

Ye Lan was thirty-three when she had Gu Wu. As an older mother with an abnormal fetal position, the delivery had been particularly grueling.

Before that, outsiders had mocked the movie queen for marrying into a wealthy family and giving birth to four omegas in a row, not a single alpha among them, leaving the Gu family business with no successor.

Gu Lang didn’t care about what outsiders said, thinking it was perfectly fine to have four omega daughters. In wealthy conglomerate families, omega children could also become heirs, it just required more effort in their upbringing, which was no big deal.

But Ye Lan had a stubborn streak in her bones, refusing to accept defeat.

So, after going through immense hardships, they finally had this little alpha.

A true little darling, the apple of their eyes.

The little darling grew into a big darling well-behaved and obedient, unlike other alphas from wealthy families who often caused trouble and fooled around. This one truly embodied the Gu family’s tradition of loyalty and devotion.

Ye Lan was proud and satisfied, directly sending Xiao Wu a six-digit red envelope.

Xiao Lin is filming: [???]

Mom of five little ones: [Sweetie, this is Mom’s “win-your-partner” fund for you.]
