Chapter 96 Reaching the Limit
Pei Wu endured the longest month of her life.
Lu Xiwen couldn't understand why his Omega insisted on suffering even when there was no suffering to be had.
But she dared not say it aloud, and still had to provide Pei Wu with pheromones when she was exhausted.
Fortunately, hard work pays off, especially for Pei Wu.
When Chu Lin had answered most of the questions on a physics test correctly, Pei Wu suddenly stood up, the chair creaking as Pei Wu, a staunch materialist who had a smooth career, strode towards the Buddhist shrine. He took three long incense sticks from the incense box beside him, lit them reverently, and then bowed three times to the Bodhisattva.
Guan Yan always grants requests.
Pei Wu said yesterday that we needed to pay our respects, and when I opened the door this morning I saw it, which immediately put my mind at ease.
Chu Lin chuckled as he looked at the red checkmarks on the test paper. You see, his math, physics, and chemistry scores were all in the single digits during his school days. He was also unlucky and often guessed wrong when choosing between two options. But today, most of the correct answers were the result of his hard work and dedication!
Chu Lin was overwhelmed with emotion and secretly marveled at himself, then followed Pei Wu in praying to Buddha.
Guan Yan, who was standing at the door watching, didn't dare to come in.
I have a feeling that the energy field of this house is weird these days.
At lunchtime, Guan Yan held Pei Wu's hand and said with concern, "It's alright, take two days off. There's a banquet the day after tomorrow. Invite Lu Xiwen along, and let's relax together."
Pei Wu frowned: "But there's a mechanics concept that Chu Lin hasn't learned yet."
“He’s a pig! Pigs need to be taught slowly, that’s the decision!” Guan Yan made the final decision.
The "pig" he was referring to was standing behind him in a black suit. Upon hearing this, he only stared at the back of Guan Yan's head for a few seconds before continuing to recall what Pei Wu had said.
Fortunately, his advanced memory ability did not disappoint him; Chu Lin took the initiative to study, which made things much easier.
Guan Yan also has a testing teacher on his side, and he plans to give her a simple test tomorrow.
Pei Wu couldn't worry about that for the time being. He returned to Yunlu Bay and slept for two days. It wasn't entirely because he was tired. Based on Lu Xiwen's understanding of his Omega, Pei Wu was planning to "kill" Chu Lin in his prime.
Indeed, when Pei Wu attended the banquet on the third day, he was in high spirits, especially when he saw Chu Lin in the hall and pointed at him.
Chu Lin instinctively shuddered. Good heavens, only now did he realize that Lu Xiwen was nothing compared to Pei Wu, the real demon king.
At that moment, Guan Yan was waving Chu Lin's test paper around, saying, "Fifty-nine points, was that one point so hard for you?"
Seeing Pei Wu and Lu Xiwen walking towards them, Chu Lin hurriedly pulled out the bag, haphazardly put it in a stack, and pleaded, "Please, Mr. Guan, give me a way out."
Guan Yan glanced at Pei Wu: "You'll have to deal with it yourself. I'm not going to help you."
"What were you looking at just now?" Pei Wu asked.
"The contract," Guan Yan replied somewhat awkwardly. "Oh, isn't that General Manager Yang? It's been a long time. I'll go over and take a look."
Chu Lin wished he could stick to Guan Yan.
Throughout the entire event, he practically became Guan Yan's shadow. Coupled with his tall stature and handsome appearance, he naturally attracted a lot of attention. This circle is well-informed, and with a little inquiry, it was discovered that Guan Yan's personal bodyguard was a high-level Alpha.
Guan Yan made no attempt to hide his thoughts, and Pei Wu wondered if Chu Lin, that blockhead, could understand them.
"So what if you're high-ranking? Doesn't everything you eat, wear, and use come from President Guan? These days, even a high-ranking person would have to work hard for at least thirty years to get a business like Guan's."
"You're just jealous," someone laughed.
Pei Wu turned her head and only saw a strange figure from behind.
"Assistant Pei!" Even though it was already late, President Zhang arrived. Upon seeing Pei Wu, he acted as if he were seeing a family member, pulling him around in various directions.
Pei Wu gave President Zhang a lot of face, leaving Lu Xiwen hanging.
Midway through the journey, Lu Xi heard that he needed to go upstairs to meet an elder, and gestured to Pei Wu. Pei Wu understood and indicated that they could contact each other by phone.
Knowing that Pei Wu shouldn't drink, and seeing that he couldn't refuse, General Manager Zhang quickly let Pei Wu go. The road ahead seemed to be blocked because of the overturned table, so Pei Wu went straight up the stairs next to it, intending to go around from the second floor.
The second floor connects to the lobby in the front and the garden in the back, with a spacious corridor and chairs for resting.
When Pei Wu looked down along the railing, she saw that a champagne tower had indeed overturned, with shards scattered all over the ground, and the waiters were hurriedly cleaning it up.
"Take my advice. An Omega like Boss Guan needs an Alpha from a similar family background. You're just a poor kid, so don't even think about it."
That's not accurate. For Guan Yan, matching family backgrounds is just a basic requirement. If he doesn't like it, he can even deduct two points from your score.
Pei Wu glanced into the depths of the corridor and easily recognized through the glass decorations that the person standing on top was Chu Lin, while two steps below him stood another man facing him, whose voice sounded like the one who had mocked Chu Lin earlier.
"Did you even listen to me? If you know what's good for you, stay away from Boss Guan."
Chu Lin's voice clearly betrayed his suppressed anger: "What's it to you?"
"Hey, you little punk," the man raised his voice slightly, "See this? This watch of mine is worth four hundred thousand, and these clothes, custom-made, are worth over a hundred thousand. And you? What do you have?"
Chu Lin didn't reply.
Pei Wu leaned against the railing.
Since becoming Guan Yan's bodyguard, Chu Lin's temperament has become much more restrained. It seems that after stepping out of the gray area, he has finally seen through the operating rules of this world.
Pheromones are not the only criterion for judgment.
Even the aristocratic class is an insurmountable gap, and Pei Wu could even sense his surging drive during their recent studies.
I don't know what kind of spell Guan Yan cast on Chu Lin, but after a long period of playing the field, he suddenly wanted to take on some responsibilities.
This sudden change in temperament is completely opposite to Chu Lin's long-standing personality. He would become cautious and timid due to the difference in their status, afraid of causing trouble for Guan Yan.
For example, at this moment, seeing that Chu Lin didn't speak, the man became even more arrogant, saying whatever came to mind, "Kid, if you don't like it, I'll give you this watch, and you can get lost right now. Let me tell you the truth, if I marry Guan Yan and inherit the Guan family, I definitely won't tolerate you."
oh?
Pei Wu was startled; what audacity!
A sharp, gunpowder-like smell suddenly filled the air.
The man felt the pressure from the higher-ranking official. As a B-level, he knew he was no match for him and immediately tensed up: "W-what are you doing? Let me tell you, kid, if you hit me, you'll be in big trouble... Ah!"
Chu Lin had finally reached her limit.
He put his hands in his pockets, raised his foot, and kicked the man hard in the face. A scream was heard, and the man rolled like a ball towards the garden, landing heavily on the ground.
"You're giving me too much credit," Chu Lin said coldly, looking down at him.
If it weren't for the invisible noose around his neck being held in Guan Yan's hand, given Chu Lin's previous style of doing things, it wouldn't have been a simple matter of kicking him; he could have turned this man into an idiot within half a minute with a pheromone attack.
