The Popular/Charismatic Beta Always Thinks They Are Universally Disliked - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: You’re Divorcing Me Because of Him?

“You’re divorcing me because of this Alpha who left two years ago and then ran back?” A subtle, cold smile played on Wei Yuzhi’s handsome, aloof face. Maintaining his composure, he spoke slowly and deliberately, word by word, “A coward who left two years ago without a word, who might as well have been dead, comes back and waves at you, and you immediately…”

He didn’t finish his sentence. Instead, he maintained an almost scrutinizing gaze, looking down at Wen Zhiyi, who was caged between him and the car door.

In fact, Wen Zhiyi didn’t need Wei Yuzhi to finish; he knew what the Omega was smiling about—

A cowardly ex who once discarded you like a worn-out shoe and didn’t even dare to clearly state the reason for the breakup, comes back and beckons, and you rush back to him as if you’ve forgotten all the pain and humiliation.

After being briefly stunned by the extreme anger, the nearly speechless Wen Zhiyi became chillingly calm. He gathered his shattered words, met Wei Yuzhi’s condescending gaze without flinching, and slowly revealed a smile mixed with sarcasm and disgust:

“Thank you for confirming my resolve to divorce. It turns out I was blind to that extent two years ago. If, in your eyes, I’m someone who can be summoned and dismissed by an ex, then how will you cope with the failure of your attempts to save this marriage? Will the omnipotent CEO Wei admit that he’s inferior to a cowardly Alpha?”

In fact, Wei Yuzhi hadn’t considered this question—he was completely unaware that he had also become one of Wen Zhiyi’s exes. He believed that no matter what, he was different from everyone else to Wen Zhiyi.

He maintained the peaceful indifference that Wen Zhiyi had once hated, slowly lowering his eyelids to approach his furious partner. At this intensely familiar distance, Wen Zhiyi angrily jerked his head away, refusing to meet his gaze.

Wei Yuzhi stared fixedly at the long, graceful neck so close to him, silent yet resolute.

Since yesterday, he knew he could no longer receive any soft, sweet responses from the Beta in front of him.

If he wanted the truth about Wen Zhiyi and Chen Que, Wei Yuzhi had no option but to provoke him.

The veins in his arm, hidden from Wen Zhiyi’s sight, pulsed uncontrollably, like tiny, angry vipers struggling fiercely. Yet, he maintained an impassive expression, calmly digesting Wen Zhiyi’s angry rebuke.

He is inferior to Chen Que?

Wei Yuzhi filed that sentence away.

During the silent standoff, Shanquan Residence soon came into view. The security personnel swiftly let them pass after confirming the license plate. Even as their car drove away, Wen Zhiyi could still see the person standing and bowing respectfully in the distance.

He frowned, looking at the staff member bowing under the scorching sun, unable to understand who this level of service was for.

After driving into Shanquan Residence, the surrounding temperature clearly dropped a few degrees. The sedan drove slowly through the lush, flourishing mountain resort. Countless winding, secluded paths spread into the dense, continuous mountains. Leisurely pedestrians occasionally walked along these paths, but as the car went deeper into the resort, Wen Zhiyi could no longer see anyone else on the winding roads.

Soon, only he, Wei Yuzhi, and the silent driver remained on this road.

The architecture within the resort was exquisite and beautiful, scattered sparsely across the mountainside and forest sea. It was divided into several functional areas. The area they had arrived at primarily offered dining services. Although it included small rest and lodging quarters, it did not offer long-term accommodation.

A smiling waiter set the table and arranged the dishes, then stood in a corner of the private room, silently waiting to serve the customers at any moment. Wen Zhiyi didn’t think there was anything he needed service for during a meal and wasn’t accustomed to being constantly watched.

He glanced at Wei Yuzhi across the table and offered the waiter a polite smile: “Please rest for now. If I need anything, I’ll come outside to find you.”

The waiter maintained an impeccable smile, thanked Wen Zhiyi, paused for three seconds during the bow to confirm Wei Yuzhi had no reaction, and then quickly left.

As he got up and exited the room, he subconsciously glanced at the Beta and Omega sitting at the two ends of the dining table.

He saw the young, beautiful Beta sitting upright across the table, his expression calm and his gaze focused. The smooth-textured shirt outlined his perfectly proportioned body. The silk shirt, shimmering slightly under the light, was actually very suitable for the Beta, who sometimes appeared gentle and naive.

The waiter almost couldn’t stop himself from recalling that description—a kind of soft, sincere gentleness, like a small, tranquil lake, oily and clear, quietly surging with rippling light.

The handsome Omega, sitting with crossed legs under the overhead light, was casually posed. He looked down at the carefully designed, exquisite menu in his hands. His side profile was stern and sharp, and his expression was one of impeccable coldness and solemnity.

But Assistant He had already confirmed the menu for this private room with Shanquan Residence, and all the dishes had been served strictly according to CEO Wei’s request. Why was he still holding the menu?

The waiter suddenly thought of those who nervously waited for their partner’s reaction at the dining table. They might be preparing to propose or confess their feelings to their companion. These people often used various small movements to mask their uncontrollable nervousness and anxiety, the most common of which was looking at the menu.

Wen Zhiyi was too lazy to pay attention to the pretentious Wei Yuzhi across the table. He didn’t care about the Omega’s actions and wouldn’t try to interpret his motives like the waiter.

He recalled the purpose of the dinner. After picking up a piece of grouper with his chopsticks, he lost his appetite and set the chopsticks down. He tapped the table with a bent finger, urging Wei Yuzhi under the Omega’s deep gaze: “If you’re not going to eat, sign the papers quickly. Don’t delay me from going home for lunch.”

“It doesn’t suit your appetite?” Due to He Xin’s deliberate arrangement, the size of the table in the private room was subtly awkward. The Omega sitting across from Wen Zhiyi only needed to lean forward to naturally extend his arm to Wen Zhiyi’s side. He performed an act that made Wen Zhiyi internally shout ‘disgusting.’

Wei Yuzhi took the milky white, tender fish meat from Wen Zhiyi’s chopsticks, tasted it calmly and slowly. During this process, he stared at Wen Zhiyi without evasion, cold, detached, and expressionless.

Finally, he showed a faint, elusive smile and calmly remarked: “Very good.”

“…” Wen Zhiyi somewhat regretted not spitting into his bowl. “The taste is indeed good, so guess why I can’t eat this meal?”

He looked pointedly at Wei Yuzhi.

The older Omega meeting the gaze of the young Beta slowly withdrew the slight smile that had escaped his face. His handsome, cold face gradually became serious and aloof. He once again became a mountain that Wen Zhiyi could not see through.

Wei Yuzhi closed his eyes. In that brief blink, he had perfectly controlled all the pent-up gloom and malice in his eyes. Besides his tightly clenched hand, knuckles white, resting on his thigh, he showed no other external signs, looking impassively at the Beta sitting opposite him.

Wen Zhiyi… Wen Zhiyi was looking at the Malice Value next to him.

He was surprised to find that the Malice Value progress bar had actually dropped a tiny, imperceptible distance, going from 100% to about 95%. But before Wen Zhiyi could investigate further, the hard-won drop in Malice Value suddenly surged back up, even threatening to break through the top!

—The reason Wei Yuzhi’s Malice Value reached 100 wasn’t that his malice was only 100, but because the progress bar only went up to 100 when full. The brief drop was for a fiercer rebound.

Stunned into speechlessness by this fact, Little Wen’s almond eyes widened, and he suddenly looked at Wei Yuzhi. He then looked down at the half-eaten fish in his bowl that the other person had taken a piece from. His expression was so complex and marvelous that even Wei Yuzhi noticed.

This Omega can go to such lengths just to disgust me. Wen Zhiyi thought himself inferior and conceded defeat.

“Are you stuck on a bone?” While Wen Zhiyi was still immersed in shock and astonishment, the expressionless Wei Yuzhi was already standing in front of him, leaning down and asking in a low voice.

Wen Zhiyi was completely enveloped by Wei Yuzhi’s shadow. The Omega standing before him had a height that was easily $1.9$ meters, fully comparable to an Alpha. He knew that S-class Omegas could possess a certain level of aggressiveness similar to high-ranking Alphas, a fact he had experienced countless times with Wei Yuzhi.

Wei Yuzhi, staring down at Wen Zhiyi, repeated his question but didn’t give the Beta a chance to answer. He reached out and pinched Wen Zhiyi’s chin, forcefully compelling him to open his mouth. His long, firm fingers moved from Wen Zhiyi’s finely shaped jaw up to his lips, then paused quietly on those full lips, carrying a sense of calm before a storm.

Wen Zhiyi was forced to look up at him, instinctively wanting to shake his head in refusal but frozen in place by the Omega’s forceful action. The highly draped silk shirt outlined his broad chest and shoulder lines as the young Beta breathed rapidly. The tall Omega leaning over him forced him to spread his legs and glare upwards.

The culprit behind all this calmly and gently held Wen Zhiyi’s chin. The backlighting hid the Omega’s expression, allowing Wen Zhiyi only to smell the oppressive cologne on him.

Right here, under the bright lights that illuminated everything with nowhere to hide, the handsome Omega with an inscrutable expression looked down at a Beta who would soon no longer belong to him. His expression was utterly cold and indifferent, yet his eyes, concealed in the shadow, silently fixated on the Beta.

Wei Yuzhi slowly leaned closer to Wen Zhiyi. The finger stroking the Beta’s lips seemed to be exploring deeper into his mouth. The hot, firm, long finger appeared about to touch the soft, tender red tip hidden among the white teeth.

He seemed very interested in that bit of tongue that was slightly trembling from shock and anger.
