Chapter 11 The Crown Prince of the Yan Clan (Part Two) "Until I die, I will never..."

"...Yan Quan, your surname is Yan...the Yan from the Yan Group..."

Shan Haotian stared blankly at the dazzling person under the camera lights in front of him, as if waking from a dream.

Just three minutes ago, Shan Haotian was extremely confident in his overall abilities. Young, physically fit, financially secure... he was far ahead of his peers.

Therefore, Shan Haotian looked down on Yan Quan from his high position, thinking that he could easily "take him down".

But in just three minutes, the balance of power shifted dramatically.

Appearance, economic strength, social status... Yan Quan was born into privilege.

Dan Haotian had no doubt that if it weren't for this show, he would have had no way to even say a single word to Yan Quan. Because their social circles were completely worlds apart.

How ridiculous... Shan Haotian bit his tongue inwardly, the bitter taste of blood spreading in his mouth: at first he thought he was "downward compatible" Yan Quan.

But now the facts are completely reversed, and I am the one who is fortunate enough to be "compatible".

No... considering all factors, anyone in this dating reality show who encounters Yan Quan would only be "accommodated".

“Yan Quan…” Shan Haotian’s gaze fell on the person beside him.

"Hmm?" Yan Quan slightly raised an eyebrow, a hint of helplessness curving her lips. "What's wrong?"

See? When most people make this expression, their facial muscles scrunch up, making them look unattractive.

But Yan Quan was different.

Every muscle in Yan Quan's face looks like it was precisely calculated; he's beautiful from every angle.

Dan Haotian's heart skipped a beat at just one glance—he had a very good impression of Yan Quan.

Before meeting Yan Quan, Shan Haotian thought he liked petite and dependent Omegas, and in fact, his first love was also this type.

Until the moment Yan Quan pushed open the door and entered. Tall and slender, sexy and aloof, with a nonchalant gaze that looked down upon all living beings…

It turns out that a person's XP is not static.

Dan Haotian found it difficult to accurately describe the overwhelming excitement he felt at that moment. He only knew that, apart from Yan Quan, he had absolutely no interest in the other omegas present.

"Yan Quan, with your qualities, you don't need to rely on dating reality shows to increase your popularity at all..." Shan Haotian's voice became increasingly unsure.

But Shan Haotian could also sense that even if Yan Quan didn't have "favor," she was at least somewhat interested in him. If they spent more time together on the show and cultivated a relationship…

So, what will the final result be...?

On one hand, there's the inferiority complex born from the stark difference in their social standing; on the other hand, there's the instinct of an Alpha to like an Omega.

Dan Haotian's mind was in turmoil, and he finally managed to stammer, "Yan Quan, can you accept an Alpha who is weaker than you in every way?"

"Why not?" Yan Quan suddenly leaned forward, her slender fingers gently resting on Shan Haotian's shoulder, her eyes crinkling with a gentle smile: "Shan Haotian."

"Or should I call you... Banana Puppy?"

"...Huh?" Shan Haotian's small single eyelids suddenly widened, whether he was shocked by the address or by the excessive heat of Yan Quan's fingertips.

Or perhaps both.

"What's the name of the show?" Yan Quan's voice was extremely pleasant to hear.

"A signal of...true love." Feeling dizzy, Shan Haotian felt that Yan Quan was bewitching him.

Yan Quan continued, "Do you believe in true love? To love each other deeply for a lifetime, and to love only each other."

When Yan Quan pronounced the word "only," he emphasized it heavily, as if he despised it to the point of utter disgust.

The fingers resting on his shoulder felt like a volcano, and the breath that drifted over his ear was like a banana leaf fan. Shan Haotian felt like he was being steamed alive: "I...I believe you."

"Because my parents are like that. They've been married for over 20 years, and they still feel their hearts flutter when they see each other when they wake up."

When this topic came up, Shan Haotian's lips curled into an exaggerated yet sincere smile. "That's why I participated in this program, hoping to expand my social circle and meet my true love as soon as possible."

Even Shan Haotian himself didn't realize that such a smile was rarer than any diamond or gold.

In some ways, Shan Haotian was a richer child than Yan Quan.

So Yan Quan's fingers, which were resting on Shan Haotian's shoulder, only paused for a moment before quickly withdrawing.

The meticulously crafted, smiling face finally revealed its flaw; a subtle coldness flickered in Yan Quan's clear eyes, and then she spoke quietly:

"Actually... I don't care about the other person's Alpha status or economic disparity at all."

"I don't pursue the so-called 'marrying someone of equal social standing' either."

The intoxicating smile that had graced her lips just moments before had now solidified into a cold frost, and Yan Quan let out a mocking laugh, uttered with utter sarcasm.

"because……"

Yan Quan slowly turned her head, the angle of which seemed to be deliberately staring directly at the camera in a provocative manner: "I participated in this program without ever thinking about a long-term relationship."

"It's just for short-term fun."

Those captivating eyes, now cold and indifferent like jade in a deep pool, each word piercing to the bone:

"I will never be able to talk about true love with anyone until I die."

How can someone be so arrogant and shameless?

[Tsk tsk, nine out of ten rich kids are playboys]

[If you're not serious about dating, why are you on a dating reality show?]

"Didn't they say it's just for fun? (laughs)"

The production team has really lost all sense of shame in choosing guests like this just to create hype.

〖Go home, okay? Yan Quan, go home and be your prince, stop causing trouble for A-listers here〗

This is what happens when someone is both criticized and vilified: on one hand, they are being viciously attacked, while on the other hand, their fans jump out to "frantically defend" them.

"A hasn't even said anything, and you've already sent out the police?"

[Different opinions don't necessarily elevate to a level of moral depravity; it's just that some people only engage in short-term relationships.]

Wouldn't it be more honest to be upfront about things from the beginning... much better than those marriage scams?

[I've already admitted it, and I know it's awful. I confessed on the first day, so it doesn't interfere with other people's pure love stories.]

I quite agree with Yan Quan's point of view: relationships are about living for the moment; who can promise it will last forever?

[Someone understand this kind of scumbag Omega pleasure?]

I understand. An O is marked as being able to have only one A, but an A can mark many Os, so there are many bad A's and few bad O's.

[I hope society can be as tolerant of O as it is of A.]

"Okay... I understand."

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Shan Haotian's lips; he should have expected this. Subtle understanding of people's hearts, precise grasp of preferences, and just the right amount of emotional value...

Yan Quan handled the situation with such ease.

This "skill" is all built up from a wealth of experience.

If there was even a sliver of hope left just now, Shan Hao is now completely heartbroken.

Yan Quan does not "date".

Or rather, the "relationship" Yan Quan was experiencing was different from what he wanted...

His heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. Shan Haotian felt a little sad.

What's going on? It's like you've just broken up. The thing is... we haven't even started dating yet.

Yan Quan lowered her eyes and quietly looked at the unconcealed dejection on Shan Haotian's face. After a pause, she slowly spoke: "Little dog."

"Cheer up, okay?"

"You can make friends in a dating reality show, right?" Long, slender fingers, like jade, tapped lightly on the table, her eyebrows curving back into a sharp smile.

"Or do you not want to be friends with me?"

[Ahhh, that laugh, my heart skipped a beat.]

Doesn't Yan Quan realize he's flirting with someone?

[Yan Haiwang, please, if you're not going to marry me, then stop flirting.]

[Where did she flirt? It's obvious she's drawing a line; she's already said they're just friends.]

Well, it's mainly because... with that face right there, it's hard not to be attracted.

You can't expect someone to just stand there with a long face and not say a word.

[Maybe... keeping a straight face and not saying anything won't help.]

[She switched from a glamorous, seductive type to a cool, aloof beauty, and still managed to captivate A completely.]

"I..." Shan Haotian was about to speak when a loud announcement came over the loudspeaker in the living room:

"Welcome to the 'True Love Cottage'! You will be spending the next 30 days living together here. We hope that all guests will encounter their heart's desire and find true love!"

"I really love you, Mom. There's a player sitting right here..."

[The production team, you really know how to kill someone by attacking their spirit.]

[Haha, this is hilarious! The production team is so ruthless, they even make fun of themselves!]

The friendly electronic voice continued: "Here are the rules you must follow during your stay. Violators will be locked in the 'little black room' (a euphemism for being detained)."

1. Apart from confessions, all forms of expressing feelings and physical contact are permitted.

2. Do not disclose your social media accounts or contact information to others.

3. The division of labor for cleaning, cooking, and daily shopping will be decided by the guests in the cabin themselves.

4. Dinner must be a group meal for all guests.

What is clearly a cold, impersonal AI now sounds strangely like a "mischievous grin":

"Of course, the competition among Alphas is often fierce. Sometimes, the Omega's feelings may not be certain..."

"Therefore, we will be opening a secret space for a limited time from 7:00 to 10:00 tonight. Alphas can invite their favorite Omega into the cabin for a private chat."

"Alaph, seize the opportunity and express your feelings boldly! Win over the Omega you admire with your sincerity and get him to go on a date with you!"

"Master, stop chanting, you're going to tear your toes apart!"

I reasonably suspect that the "secret space" mentioned later was added specifically for Yan Quan...

[The packaging is ridiculous, it's like saying "the fiercely competitive Alphas"]

This chaotic battleground of 3A-level competition for the top spot is so satisfying!

The suspense lies entirely in who Yan Quan will choose.

[It might not be a 3A match, maybe the puppy backed out because Yan Quan is a player...]

I also feel that most people want to have a serious relationship, so looks probably won't be that important anymore...

As it turns out, the comments underestimated Yan Quan's appeal. Or rather... they overestimated how much an Alpha values ​​a stable, long-term romantic relationship.

As soon as the electronic voice finished speaking, Murong Yuan slammed his hand heavily on the table, his sharp, hawk-like gaze fixed on his side.

Yan Quan, having anticipated this, looked at Murong Yuan, and their eyes met in the scorching air filled with sparks.

Every second of their eye contact felt incredibly long. Murong Yuan stared intently at Yan Quan, a burning greed gradually surfacing in his eyes…

A note from the author:

----------------------

Mini-theater:

In a high-end apartment in District A of the capital

The latest episode of a variety show was playing on the projection screen. The protagonist, who had been smiling, gradually turned cold and sinister: "Until I die, I will never talk about true love with anyone."

Even when she utters such cold and heartless words, even when her expression is chillingly piercing, her face on the screen is still breathtakingly beautiful.

The wine glass tipped over and rolled onto the floor covered with a pure white wool carpet, the dark red liquid resembling blooming datura flowers.

“Indeed.” The Alpha pressed his lower lip against his teeth, his mouth filled with the heavy taste of blood. “You won’t love anyone…”

"Then the only option is to capture you and lock you up." His dark eyes reflected a crimson hue.

"You have to have either your body or your mind."
