This Alpha Is So Devoted to His Wife - Chapter 46
Four Years Later—
The capital of Country D.
The Galaxy Building, one of Country D’s landmark structures, has a unique silver-blue exterior that, at sunset, radiates an artistic beauty reminiscent of the Milky Way. It is also the most beautiful building among the Galaxy Group’s global branches.
At this moment, employees were seen leaving the building in twos and threes.
“Did you see? The manager actually brought a freshman intern today. Couldn’t be a personal connection, could it?”
“I heard he’s a freshman from Imperial Polytechnic University.”
“I know he’s from Imperial Polytech, but the question is, how could he get into Galaxy? Galaxy’s requirements are so high; even the best interns should at least be juniors, right? I’ve never heard of Galaxy lowering the standard this much. He’s only a freshman, what social practice experience could he have?”
“Looking at how subservient the manager was today, he probably favors the intern’s looks. That little Omega does look very pretty.”
“Serena, you might need to be worried. Our manager is quite the catch.”
The woman called Serena pressed the elevator button. She was dressed in a champagne-pink business suit, with delicate makeup and a distinguished demeanor. Her eyes slanted upward, carrying a hint of superiority. Hearing her colleagues’ discussion, she laughed softly.
“How could the manager possibly like someone so young and tender—”
The elevator door slowly opened, and Serena’s voice trailed off abruptly.
Inside the elevator, a tall, mature man in a well-tailored suit, with a refined Chinese face, was seen smiling faintly, looking down slightly, listening to the handsome youth beside him speak. He showed no impatience at all. The two were probably discussing something, as the handsome youth’s expression was calm as he spoke.
In the eyes of others, this scene carried many implications.
A whole TV drama about an office romance between a superior and subordinate was already being produced in their minds.
“I think this proposal still has shortcomings. Revise it; it should be even better,” Duan Yu’luo said. Just as his voice faded, he saw the elevator door open, revealing several familiar female office staff standing outside.
They were all Chinese.
He nodded in acknowledgment.
However, he didn’t receive a friendly response. Instead, he felt an unusual gaze sweeping over him.
Serena, carrying her bag, walked into the elevator. Her figure was graceful. She stood beside her department manager, elegantly turning sideways, her arm casually brushing against her manager’s. As the other two female colleagues entered the elevator and the door slowly closed, she finally asked with a smile:
“Manager, this is the first time I’ve seen you personally mentor an intern. It seems our Jacob is a very talented young person.”
The manager’s expression shifted when he heard the comment. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Duan Yu’luo chime in.
“That’s high praise. I still have much to learn from you, Serena. I looked at your proposal this morning; your thinking and organization are very clear. It’s obvious that you have a very precise grasp of the entire market planning and operation. I have a lot to learn,” Duan Yu’luo smiled.
The reflection in the elevator door was clear. The youth wore a white shirt, his posture refined like fine jade, like a noble orchid and a sturdy tree. Although he was less than twenty years old, he exuded an unhurried composure that defied his age. Even his smile carried a subtle distance that was just right.
Serena didn’t feel praised by this remark; instead, she felt a sense that the other party considered himself superior: “Is that so? You can judge my ability from one proposal? Young person, you should still be more humble.”
“Serena,” the manager faintly warned.
Serena caught the manager’s warning look. She averted her gaze, pretending not to see it. However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the manager lower his head again and whisper something into Duan Yu’luo’s ear, seeming to be coaxing him. Her expression became even uglier, and the hand holding her bag gradually tightened.
The elevator door opened.
The staff, out of natural courtesy, initially made way for the manager, but they watched the manager let the youth exit first. It was impossible not to discuss or gossip about this level of unspoken importance. Otherwise, why would their manager be the most sought-after, most Omega-popular diamond bachelor Alpha in the entire building?!
Leaving the elevator, they walked out of the lobby.
“My apologies, Little President Duan. Serena’s personality is always quite direct. I apologize if anything made you uncomfortable.”
Duan Yu’luo smiled, turning to look at the manager: “No, I don’t mind those things. It’s quite good. Her personality is as direct and clear as her proposal.”
“But why did President Luo ask you to start from the grassroots level? With your ability, you could completely…” The manager hesitated for a moment but still asked the question. His heart was trembling today when he received the task from headquarters to pick up the future heir of the Galaxy Group.
And he was arranged to be a Manager Assistant.
No matter how he thought about it, it made no sense why this young master would need to start from the grassroots. He had grown up immersed in family management, had the capability, and age was not an issue at all within this family.
As of now, the Galaxy Group has over ten thousand branches globally, and the group’s scale is the largest in the world. Let alone the currently seated chairman and several presidents, the net worth of this young heir is incalculable. He is also the earliest in the Galaxy Group’s history to secure the heir position.
The position of the Galaxy Group’s first heir was announced as early as when he was in his first year of high school.
It was only a matter of time before he took full control of the Galaxy Group, and he would be the second Omega person in charge of the Galaxy Group.
“My family probably wants to train me,” Duan Yu’luo smiled, thinking to himself that they were deliberately messing with him.
Since he had decided to study abroad, his family members had approached him one after another, trying to persuade him to stay in China, saying that the purpose of attending an international school wasn’t for him to study abroad but simply to let him grow up in a more relaxed and free learning environment.
They also said it wasn’t safe for an Omega to study abroad and that it was better to be near his family.
But he remained firm in his choice, getting accepted into Imperial Polytechnic University in Country D along with Lu Xinghe. He also kept a secret from his family: he was living with Lu Xinghe.
Just then, a black sports car pulled up at the group’s entrance. The car window slowly lowered, revealing a handsome face with sharp features.
Compared to three years ago, this face of mixed heritage had shed all traces of youth, and his contours were distinct.
Duan Yu’luo smiled when he saw the person who arrived, then said to the manager: “Well, I’ll see you tomorrow. Thank you very much, Manager Huo, for your care today. Please guide me tomorrow too.”
The manager was about to offer to personally drive the heir home, but then he saw the Alpha who stepped out of the driver’s seat. He was tall and handsome. Although he was wearing a simple pure black T-shirt, the definition of his arms was visible through the thin fabric. As he walked toward them, the powerful aura belonging to an Alpha rushed over.
Not to mention the look that swept over the manager.
It was full of hostility.
“…” I didn’t do anything.
Then, he watched the Alpha walk up to his young boss. One looked up, the other looked down, and they kissed each other.
Manager: “!!!”
Duan Yu’luo quickly pulled away after the kiss, stopping the “big dog’s” hand that was already reaching out, possibly about to act out of jealousy again. He bid farewell to the manager, then pulled Lu Xinghe toward the car.
Lu Xinghe opened the passenger door. As he held the roof of the car, he looked back warily at the manager one more time.
Manager: “…” Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t do anything. He silently turned and walked away.
Duan Yu’luo sat in the passenger seat and glanced sideways at Lu Xinghe, who was still standing outside the car door, staring at the manager who had walked away. He reached out and grabbed his waistband: “That’s enough. He’s gone. Why are you staring at him?”
“Duan Yu’luo!” Lu Xinghe finally withdrew his gaze. He maintained his posture holding the car door, bent down, leaned close to Duan Yu’luo, and narrowed his eyes: “Didn’t you tell me the manager was a female? Why is he an Alpha?”
Duan Yu’luo was instantly speechless. Actually, he didn’t know either. His uncle had indeed told him an Omega leader would be guiding him. Who knew it would turn into an Alpha as soon as he arrived? Seeing Lu Xinghe’s sulky and temperamental look, he smiled, raised his hand, and tugged on the other’s collar, pulling him closer.
He looked up and kissed him directly.
In the sky, the purple-blue, creamy-painted sunset spread across the horizon. The afterglow fell beside the car’s shadow, enveloping the shadows of the two of them.
“Baobao (Baby).”
“…Mm?”
Duan Yu’luo pulled away from Lu Xinghe’s lips. Meeting the look of surprise from the sudden kiss, he smiled: “Don’t be mad anymore.”
“Then give it to me tonight.”
Outside the car door, the youth holding the car roof and gazing down at him was deeply affectionate. He held an irresistible charm for Duan Yu’luo, not to mention that after they got together, his simple requests were hard to deny.
Duan Yu’luo knew what this guy wanted most, and he also knew that he wouldn’t truly cross that line.
His eyes curved into crescents as he smiled, tilting his head up: “Okay.”
He was completely unlike the composed young man he was back at the corporation, revealing his true self in front of this person.
Lu Xinghe coughed, quickly fastened his seatbelt, then straightened up. He decisively walked back to the driver’s seat, got in, swiftly buckled his seatbelt, and pressed the accelerator for home.
He looked impatient to fulfill the promise.
The black Maybach drove at a steady speed on the road.
Duan Yu’luo smiled, leaning back against the seat, looking sideways at the traffic outside the window, and also at Lu Xinghe driving in the window’s reflection.
They had kept their promise to each other, adhered to the age restrictions, and followed the principles they needed to observe for their own growth—until high school graduation, getting the university offers they wanted, and then, based on their firm belief, they went abroad to study together.
Naturally, they became each other’s boyfriends.
And naturally, they started living together.
He looked forward to this day more than anyone, looking forward to the time when he could stick to Lu Xinghe without a moment’s separation.
The apartment door opened with a ‘beep.’ Before the lights were on, two figures were locked in a passionate kiss in the entryway.
A large hand cupped the slender neck. The youth in his arms was forced to tilt his head back, letting out a faint ‘mmph.’ Before he could even voice a protest, his breath was blocked, and then he was lifted up with one arm.
The door shut with an urgent ‘bang,’ and his back was pressed against the door.
The kiss deepened.
Due to the disparity in strength and size, the one being held was somewhat like a toy during kissing, so Duan Yu’luo had never gained the upper hand in this matter.
Duan Yu’luo felt himself being placed on the cabinet in the entryway. His night blindness prevented him from perceiving any light, but the close proximity of the breathing and the heat told him exactly what the other person’s gaze was like—it was passionately fixed on him at this moment.
“Baobao.”
“Mm?”
“I don’t like that Alpha.”
In the darkness, a soft laugh was heard: “He doesn’t need you to like him.”
“Right now, I’m a boyfriend with no official title. What if you fall for another Alpha?”
Duan Yu’luo felt the kiss land on his neck. He tilted his head slightly, allowing the kiss to continue. The remark in his ear sounded like playful begging but was actually dominant and possessive: “I won’t.”
“Why?”
“Because I only like Lu Xinghe.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a stifled chuckle in his ear, and his lips curved slightly.
He knew he was being daring by living with Lu Xinghe behind his family’s back. He also knew his family didn’t dislike Lu Xinghe; they were just worried about their Omega son living with an Alpha. But he trusted Lu Xinghe.
Lu Xinghe lifted Duan Yu’luo down from the shoe cabinet, turned on the lights, and hugged him from behind. The two were like conjoined twins.
They stuck together all day at school, and they stuck together after school. Now that they had their own small home abroad, they were constantly glued to each other. Since no one knew, they were completely free.
“Zai Zai, you think your family won’t find out we’re living together, right?”
“No, no one’s going to tell them.”
Lu Xinghe buried his face in Duan Yu’luo’s neck, obsessively inhaling his Omega pheromones.
The two settled into the sofa.
Duan Yu’luo immediately climbed onto Lu Xinghe, embracing him face-to-face.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The two: “?”
“Duan Yu’luo, it’s me.”
Duan Yu’luo froze for two seconds, then suddenly stood up, staring at the front door in astonishment.
“It’s your brother. Open the door.”
Lu Xinghe looked down at the space under the sofa, then looked at his own size.
They exchanged a look.
Speak of the devil.
