The Top-Tier Alpha Refuses to Be Pretty Cannon Fodder - Chapter 11

The car sped along the elevated highway as the city’s neon lights gradually flickered out and receded with the passing time.

Having enjoyed a pleasant conversation with Huo Yan earlier that evening, Lu Yunli had indulged in a few extra drinks.

At this moment, he leaned against the car window, slightly tipsy, listening to the system broadcasts echoing in his mind.

[520: Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host, on successfully unlocking the new character: Huo Yan. Current Level: 7.]

The details of the new character are as follows:

Name: Huo Yan Gender: S-Rank Alpha Identity: Admiral Favorability: 35 (Likeminded or like old friends at first sight)

[520: Progress on Host successfully rewriting the endings of novel characters: 10%. Level +1. Current Level: 8.]

[520: Keep up the good work, dear!]

[Lu Yunli: I gained four levels just by giving one gift; that’s not a bad deal at all.]

[520: Didn’t Admiral Huo invite you to visit the Military Department in a few days? You can take that opportunity to grind more favorability with him. That way, you can unlock more of the plot and increase your level!]

As Lu Yunli propped his chin on one hand, mulling the matter over, a ringtone suddenly filled the car.

The call was irritating. Lu Yunli frowned and hung up without even glancing at the caller ID.

The world remained quiet for only two seconds before the car’s integrated phone began to ring.

The secretary, Les, glanced at the caller display and spoke up. “President Lu, it’s the landline from Tingyun Villa.”

Tingyun Villa?

Lu Yunli snapped his eyes open.

He picked up his own phone to check and realized that the call he had just hung up on was from Qi Xi.

And Qi Xi was currently at Tingyun Villa.

Didn’t he already come back once this afternoon? Why is he back again?

Lu Yunli rubbed his aching brow. “Answer it.”

Les adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and pressed the answer button, asking in a businesslike tone, “Hello, President Qi. Is there something you need?”

“Where did Lu Yunxing go?”

Qi Xi’s blunt, somewhat suppressed and angry voice projected through the car’s speakers.

Les was the only person who knew Lu Yunli’s secret; he knew that he was an Alpha pretending to be an Omega. Consequently, he also knew that in the three years they had been married, the Alpha Lu Yunli loved had never come home.

Despite being the only top-tier Alpha in Country M, Lu Yunli had contentedly played the role of Qi Xi’s little wife for three years.

Fortunately, this marriage, which was a mere facade, was finally coming to an end.

Les glanced back through the rearview mirror.

The light inside the car was dim and uncertain. Lu Yunli didn’t say a word, but his brow was slightly furrowed on his cold, elegant face.

Presumably, Qi Xi’s unpleasant attitude had annoyed him.

Les withdrew his gaze. “President Qi, the Second Young Master is with the Eldest Young Master.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

Just as Les thought Qi Xi would press for more details, the man suddenly asked out of the blue, “Does he like eating cake?”

This Alpha had never cared about his own president before; the question struck Les as rather strange.

“President Qi, the Second Young Master never eats sweets.”

Silence fell over the line again.

Les: “President Qi?”

Qi Xi asked again, “Then, is he coming back tonight?”

Les looked back once more.

He saw Lu Yunli leaning back in his seat, his beautiful fingers clenched tightly as if he were trying hard to restrain something.

Is he feeling conflicted?

Les tried to speculate on his boss’s mental state and replied, “As for tonight, the Second Young Master won’t be”

“I’m coming back.”

The words were forced out of Lu Yunli’s teeth, interrupting Les.

The car fell into a momentary silence.

Then, Lu Yunli heard Qi Xi let out a low, harsh laugh from the other end of the phone. “Lu Yunxing, you were right there, and you actually dared to hang up on me!”

“Wuwuwu, Brother Qi, you’re so mean.” Lu Yunli sniffled, his voice thick with the sound of crying. “I didn’t mean to just now. Please don’t be mad at me.”

[Lu Yunli: Fk.]*

As the electric current surging through his body faded, Lu Yunli’s face went cold. He reached up and harshly wiped away the tears that had been squeezed from his eyes.

Back my ass!

He had temporarily forgotten that if he stubbornly refused to act according to his character’s personality, the system would take control of his body and force him to say things that fit the role.

He was innocent; he was being coerced.

The other end of the line went cold again.

Lu Yunli grew impatient. Just as he was about to get up and hang up the phone, Qi Xi’s voice rang out again.

Qi Xi: “Lu Yunxing, I’ll be waiting for you at home.”

The line went dead.

[Lu Yunli: The audacity!]

[Lu Yunli: That dog Qi actually dared to hang up on ME!]

[520: ……]

The car pulled up in front of Tingyun Villa. Lu Yunli changed his clothes and stepped out of the vehicle.

Red wine has a strong aftereffect; as the evening breeze brushed against him, Lu Yunli felt himself becoming quite drunk.

Les intended to step forward to help him inside, but Lu Yunli waved him off and sent him away.

He climbed the steps and pushed open the tightly shut front door. “I’m back.”

The lights inside the villa weren’t on. Lu Yunli fumbled around in the dark by the door for a long time but couldn’t find his slippers.

[Lu Yunli: 520, not only did Qi Xi hang up on me, he’s wearing my slippers!]

Feeling irritable, Lu Yunli ran a hand through his hair and walked into the house, his bare feet treading on the marble floor. “Qi”

A sudden sharp pain underfoot caused Lu Yunli’s voice to cut off abruptly, and he sobered up slightly.

Frowning deeply, he was just about to reach out and turn on the living room light when his body was suddenly hoisted into the air in a princess carry.
