Chapter 403 Fu Yunlu pushed me away, no, to be more precise...

Fu Yunlu pushed me away, no, to be more precise, she grabbed the back of my collar and pulled me away like a cat.

He narrowed his eyes, as if savoring the kiss, or perhaps recalling my actions just now.

He said ambiguously: "...It is indeed an alpha."

I tilted my head and blinked at him in an attempt to be cute. "Don't tell me you still think I'm not an alpha, Mr. Fu?"

"I mean—" He lifted my chin, scanned my face, and then lowered it, "control."

"What's the meaning?"

Fu Yunlu said: "Whether you are pretending to be stupid or not, I hope you can control your behavior."

I immediately raised my hands and said aggrievedly, "I don't know what I did to upset you, but if you're angry, I apologize. I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I did something wrong."

Fu Yunlu was obviously choked by my good attitude of admitting my mistake, so much so that he actually thought he was making a big deal out of nothing. A student who was still three months away from his 21st birthday was apologizing in fear and trepidation for an active kiss.

Appearance always makes people have preconceived notions, and my background and words serve as a good cover for my thoughts. Fu Yunlu cannot use the same cautious attitude as he would towards his opponents or partners to deal with someone like me. To put it bluntly - he is looking down on me.

I'm grateful for his contempt; otherwise, how could Fu Yunlu willingly fall into the trap of love and be played around by me? Even when she discovered that I was the instigator of all the scandals and betrayals, such a mentally strong alpha would question and shed tears.

Strong love is the incubator of eternal hatred. He hates me so much that he wants to kill me and die with me.

In the end, because of that ridiculous love, he chose to forgive me after my sweet words of repentance and confession of my mistakes.

At this moment, Fu Yunlu faced my apology, exhaled, smiled at me, and said, "Don't be like this, I was too serious just now."

I just lowered my head: "I know, I'm sorry, I won't do this again."

"What else?"

I stammered, "Dear...dear Mr. Fu."

Fu Yunlu laughed and said, "No, you can do this."

"You'll be angry."

"That's not why I'm angry."

"Why is that?" I frowned slightly, staring into his eyes, and whispered, "I don't understand, Mr. Fu. I'm still young... You have to teach me."

"I will teach you." Fu Yunlu corrected, "But I also said that there is no need to address you respectfully."

"Okay...then teach me." I stretched out my hand and invited him to hold it. Fu Yunlu raised his eyebrows and accepted my request. I clasped his fingers very tightly, then put his hand close to my cheek and kissed the back of his hand.

"..." Fu Yunlu was stunned. When I raised my eyelids to look at him, his fingers even curled up suddenly. I smiled and whispered, "Will you be angry like this?"

He snorted inexplicably and said, "If I say no, what will you do next?"

"I want to kiss you again."

Fu Yunlu didn't refuse, she looked at me with her eyes downcast: "I remember you said you didn't like alphas."

Of course I don't like alphas. I don't like anyone except myself, and alphas are the most annoying category among the people I dislike.

Even I am an alpha.

But I've always been good at going easy on myself.

That's why I can lie to others with a clear conscience and get what I want.

"I really don't like it." I said honestly, and then told a little harmless lie, "But you are different, Mr. Fu."

"You seem to be dismissive of the proposal I made. I don't understand why."

I thought for a moment and said, "I worked so hard to get to the main city and enter the best university there, but I didn't do this to be kept in a cage like a canary."

"I understand. I didn't think it through." Fu Yunlu answered so sincerely, but I could feel the complete indifference in his eyes. Just like every alpha, before successfully tricking the omega he likes, will package himself as a generous, considerate, and gentleman. But that is just the lowest lie. Only those who are hopelessly stupid will believe that alpha can understand the inner pain of omega.

Fu Yunlu is in this situation now. Born into a royal family, he has no idea how much effort Liang Guanyue, who once fought with others for a hundred-dollar star coin, has put in to achieve what he has now.

But he needed such a gentle and understanding answer to apologize lightly for his past behavior, even if it was useless and insincere.

He won't think he's wrong.

He would just think why I didn't agree at the beginning and why I didn't quit while I was ahead.

"You also wanted to kill me," I said. "So even though in my heart you are different... at that time, I always wanted to resist."

Fu Yunlu seemed to be in a good mood now. He was willing to continue to coax me: "It was just a joke...Okay, a wrong joke. I shouldn't have done that. It won't happen again."

"I know, I know." I moved closer to him, our breaths mingling, our eyes meeting. "If Mr. Fu were willing to agree to my request and give me three months... I would know that Mr. Fu was different from those princes."

Fu Yunlu asked, "Have you met other princes?"

"The eldest prince seemed to be at the banquet. I accidentally bumped into him with my shoulder, and he knocked over my plate and told me to get out." Not long after, someone pointed a gun at me.

Fu Yunlu pondered, "Fu Wanqian is indeed like that." He chuckled and tried to comfort me, "When we were little, he even wanted to push me off the spaceship, but it was only because I received a compliment from my father in front of him."

I was quite interested in their royal secrets, so I asked curiously, "And then, were you pushed down?"

"No, I didn't," Fu Yunlu said. "I grabbed his clothes tightly, and he couldn't pull me off. My loud cries startled my father, and he sternly asked me why I was shouting so rudely."

I asked, “How did you answer?”

Fu Yunlu recalled: "That was the first time I lied, because I realized that telling the truth would be the worst-case scenario. Without evidence to prove my words were true, my father would be annoyed by my words and would even resent me a little."

"So you chose to lie."

"That's right." Fu Yunlu nodded. "I said, my head hurts, I need to see a doctor." Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled. "Then my father just admonished me, saying that I should consider the face of the royal family and maintain a sense of dignity no matter what, instead of yelling and shouting recklessly like I did just now."

Fu Yunlu's eyes turned cold: "So all these years, I have been thinking--" He paused, seemed to come back to his senses, and did not continue.

I didn't ask him why he paused any more. I just pecked his lips like a little bird and said, "You're not wrong. It's their fault."

Fu Yunlu naturally didn't need this kind of comfort, but he still smiled politely: "Thank you."
