Chapter 61: Was chatting with your ex-boyfriend fun?

After drinking a few glasses of juice, Wen Song suddenly felt the need to go to the restroom.

Follow the signs to find the location.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Zhao Mingzhuo, who was washing his hands, as soon as he came out.

"......."

An awkward atmosphere seemed to permeate between the two.

It is often said that spending a lot of time together can easily lead to feelings developing over time, or to the formation of habits and adaptations.

Even a simple relationship where each party gets what they need.

In the end, we were together in a way.

"Congratulations." Wen Song nodded and offered his blessings after washing his hands.

The congratulations weren't just about the engagement; the main reason was that Zhao Mingzhuo had finally gotten his wish to take over Zhengrong, and from now on, he would have to address him as "President Zhao."

Zhao Mingzhuo stared intently at every corner of the Beta's face, trying to detect any sadness.

In the end, nothing was gained.

It's too peaceful.

She seemed to have no feelings about his engagement.

Wen Song noticed that Zhao Mingzhuo remained silent, his expression indifferent, staring at him intently, his thin lips unconsciously pursed as if he felt some resistance to the "congratulations".

What does this mean?

Could it be that the other party was dissatisfied because of the lack of discretion?

That makes sense.

They had long been strangers, and today was their engagement party. If Xu Shaoze saw them talking face to face, he would definitely use it as an excuse to make trouble.

"I'm sorry." Wen Song lowered his head slightly.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But before he could take a step, Zhao Mingzhuo reached out and grabbed his arm, calling out, "Xiao Song—"

Wen Song stopped and tilted her head, which landed on the hand that had been grabbed.

Zhao Mingzhuo said, "I have something I want to tell you."

Wen Song calmly brushed the other person's hand away and took half a step back: "What is it?"

Zhao Mingzhuo had actually wanted to ask Wen Song if she was willing to wait for him on the day the contract ended, but the Alpha's pride and self-righteousness made him think that the other party should be willing. However, after seeing Wen Song laughing and talking at the engagement banquet these past few days, he felt a little empty.

Wen Song was not saddened or depressed by his engagement. Instead, she dressed up for the engagement party and remained calm, as if he were a stranger rather than her ex-boyfriend.

Does this prove that his self-perceived waiting was all in vain?

Zhao Mingzhuo knew that their relationship was just a transaction, but all these years of getting along had been real, and he absolutely did not believe that Wen Song's heart was made of stone.

Even the most emotionally insensitive person will feel a sense of loss due to a sudden separation.

While observing Wen Song's expression, Zhao Mingzhuo said, "Xu Shaoze and I have a business marriage..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold and indifferent voice rang out from behind him:

"Feel sorry."

"Could you move aside? You're blocking my way."

The familiar voice was like a cold wind blowing in his face, causing Wen Song to instinctively shrink his neck, straighten his body, and slowly raise his head to look at the Alpha who had appeared behind Zhao Mingzhuo at some point.

Zhao Mingzhuo slowly turned around and saw Guan Ju standing half a meter away from him.

In an instant, all the words I wanted to say vanished from my lips, and I couldn't utter a single word.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

The scene was bizarre.

The three of them had different ideas.

"Ah Sui." Zhao Mingzhuo took a step to the side.

Guan Ju's expression was indifferent, and a very soft "hmm" escaped from his throat as a response.

Seeing people make way for him, he strode toward the restroom. When he passed Wen Song, he visibly slowed down for a second, but did not stop and quickly left, as if he were a gust of wind.

Wen Song's hand, which had been resting at her side, lifted slightly and then fell back down.

...Alpha seems to be angry.

This thought slowly rose in my mind.

Because Guan Ju is an Alpha with a very strong possessive nature, he doesn't know how much the other party actually listened to, or whether he saw Zhao Mingzhuo reach out and grab his arm.

Wen Song was completely unaware that his thoughts were now all leaning towards Guan Ju.

Distracted by Guan Ju's appearance, Zhao Mingzhuo felt a little awkward and lowered his voice, saying, "Xiao Song, can we talk somewhere else?"

Wen Song frowned almost imperceptibly.

He asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Zhao Mingzhuo was surprised that the usually compliant Beta did not agree directly but instead asked a question.

"We were just chatting casually."

Wen Song thought for a moment and was about to refuse when suddenly footsteps that didn't belong to the two of them sounded.

— Guan Ju walked out of the restroom.

Their conversation was interrupted again.

The air seemed to freeze again, filled with an awkward silence, and time seemed to pass very slowly.

Guan Sui walked to the sink and slowly washed her hands.

The sound of the pattering water took on a different flavor in the ears of the other two.

Guan Ju, who was washing his hands, suddenly called out, "Zhao Mingzhuo."

Zhao Mingzhuo's heart was in his throat, filled with a sense of panic that his intentions and secrets had been exposed. He waited anxiously for the Alpha to continue.

Three seconds later, Guan Ju gently shook the water droplets on her long, slender fingers and continued:

"—Xu Shaoze is looking for you."

Zhao Mingzhuo felt as if a century had passed.

Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wen Song standing opposite her, pursed her lips, and thought that since they were at the engagement banquet and had been out for some time, she did not doubt Guan Ju's words.

“Okay,” he said, “I’ll get back to work.”

Before leaving, he nodded to Wen Songwei, deciding to talk to her again when he had time.

After Zhao Mingzhuo left.

Wen Song stood still, wanting to turn around and face Guan Ju. Suddenly, an embrace filled with the scent of Alph tequila came from behind. A slender waist was encircled by arms, gently pulled backward, and a straight back pressed tightly against a hard, warm chest, with only the sound of breathing in her ears.

"Did you have a good chat with your ex-boyfriend?" Guan Ju gently kissed the back of his ear.

Wen Song felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if he had been electrocuted.

".....No."

Guan Ju pressed further, "What is it then?"

Wen Song bit her lower lip slightly: "I don't feel very happy."

Guan Ju chuckled softly, seemingly satisfied with the answer. He blew a breath into the ear of the Beta in his arms, pressed his tongue against his teeth, and said, "Still not happy."

Wen Song shrank back slightly: "Huh?"

Guan Ju stood up straight and turned the other person's body so that they were facing each other and looking at each other.

He asked, "When can it be made public?"

I really can't stand the way Zhao Mingzhuo looks at Wen Song.

As a fellow Alpha and an observer, how could I not know what the other was thinking?

Wen Song: "..."

The two had been secretly dating for only a day when the Alpha's possessiveness went completely mad.

“Wait a little longer,” he reassured the other person, “I will not meet with Zhao Mingzhuo in private.”

Guan Ju was finally relieved to hear this.
