Chapter 49 You asked me about the backup plan last time, and I've thought it through. I'm willing.
Wen Song arrived relatively early.
When the password was unlocked and Zhao Mingzhuo entered the villa, he looked exhausted and had just come down from the second floor in his bathrobe.
Perhaps it was because of my sleeping position last night that the blanket accidentally pressed down on my hair, causing a tuft of hair to stick up and cover it. Alpha usually gives people a sharp and imposing feeling.
"Good morning," Wen Song greeted naturally from the entrance.
Zhao Mingzhuo paused for a moment, standing on the second floor of the stairs and looking at the Beta who had arrived early in the morning.
In the past, he would have smiled and replied with a "Good morning".
But thinking about what I was about to say, a feeling of depression welled up inside me, like water-filled cotton filling my chest, as if every step I had taken during this time had been meticulously planned and completely outside of the intended scope.
Finally, he nodded rather indifferently.
"Noodles or a sandwich?" Wen Song asked as she changed her shoes and walked into the living room.
She skillfully rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender arms, and walked towards the kitchen.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingzhuo was filled with thoughts. He said "No need," then sat down on the sofa, picked up a cushion and held it in his arms, tilting his chin to his left.
"Come and sit down for a while."
Wen Song paused, then followed Alpha's instructions and sat down in the designated spot.
Sit upright with your hands folded between your legs and your back straight.
The two sat there without saying a word.
Zhao Mingzhuo gazed at Wen Song's face with his peach blossom eyes, his gaze moving from the wisps of hair on her forehead to the bridge of her nose, as if he were seeing her for the first time, noting that she now had a tiny mole.
From the side, he looks about three-tenths like that person.
The only difference between the two is two tiny moles.
Upon closer inspection, it doesn't actually resemble it.
This made Zhao Mingzhuo feel inexplicably annoyed.
My feelings seem to be slowly changing, and I don't know how to resolve the knot in my heart.
"What's wrong?" Wen Song asked.
He knew Zhao Mingzhuo's true purpose in inviting him to the Silver Lake Mansion today, but he needed the other party to bring it up himself. The matter of Zheng Rong and Qi Sheng's marriage alliance had not been made public, and the way he learned about it was not honorable. He had to remain unaware of the truth.
Zhao Mingzhuo suddenly called out, "Wen Song."
Wen Song was confused: "Huh?"
Zhao Mingzhuo said bluntly, "Let's terminate the contract early."
Wen Song lifted his eyelids, his lips slightly parted, pondering how he should react to appear unaware of the situation beforehand.
The next second, I heard the other person say:
I'm getting engaged.
This saves Wen Song from having to pretend he doesn't understand and ask "why".
“Okay,” he replied calmly.
Zhao Mingzhuo stared at Wen Song's facial expression and found that the other party did not show the slightest sadness. He couldn't help but wonder if he was just pretending to be calm.
For the past two years, Wen Song has been playing the role of his "boyfriend".
Just be honest and do your job when you have the money.
but---
Wen Song is dedicated to her duties and her emotions have clearly softened.
The concern I showed him was genuine.
Zhao Mingzhuo wasn't blind; he knew that Wen Song was all alone in Suicheng and needed someone to rely on, so he offered his help, and naturally, the other party would place their affections on him.
If he didn't like him, he wouldn't have been so attentive.
“You—” Zhao Mingzhuo stared at Wen Song, drawing out the last syllable.
After a long pause, he finally managed to ask, "Are you alright?"
Wen Song: "I'm fine."
It's really good.
I feel a sense of relief.
Finally, there's no need to juggle between two Alphas.
“I will give you a breakup fee,” Zhao Mingzhuo said.
Wen Song: "No need, I haven't done anything all these years."
She neither sleeps with him nor attends social events with him; she simply holds the title of boyfriend and enjoys the help he provides.
I don't feel at ease holding the money.
That's why he did his best to take care of Zhao Mingzhuo.
Zhao Mingzhuo sighed, "You can keep it. Consider it compensation for my breach of contract."
Upon hearing this, Wen Song no longer declined.
"OK."
The fact that Party A offered compensation made him feel better about accepting it as a breakup fee, which would make him feel more at ease.
Seeing Wen Song so docile, obedient, and well-behaved, Zhao Mingzhuo felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
like---
I always felt that the other person was unusually quiet.
The feeling was dozens of times greater than the one he had experienced at Guan Ju's birthday banquet.
Wen Song seemed completely unconcerned about his affairs, showing no signs of hysteria, weeping, or questioning him, and not even a hint of moisture in his eyes.
It felt as if some self-righteous sense of control was quietly slipping away from my fingertips.
Zhao Mingzhuo started to panic.
"So, am I leaving now?" Wen Song asked.
If we're already discussing terminating the contract and breaking up, staying here seems to have a different meaning.
Zhao Mingzhuo's words turned out to be: "Make me another breakfast."
"I want to eat a sandwich."
Wen Song stood up: "Okay."
After saying that, he strode towards the kitchen.
Zhao Mingzhuo, clutching a pillow, nestled on the sofa, watching the other person's departing figure, feeling a wave of frustration.
What exactly is going on?
Did the two years of companionship really develop real feelings for Wen Song?
He admitted it.
Wen Song feels different from other Omegas.
To paraphrase a really disgusting saying found online: "Omegas outside are like hotels, but he is the only real home."
However, the initial reason for signing the "relationship agreement" with Wen Song was simply that he thought she looked a lot like Guan Ju when he first saw her at the banquet.
yes.
He had a crush on Guan Ju.
He started having a crush on his best friend as soon as he differentiated into an Alpha.
Zhao Mingzhuo didn't know where this feeling came from, but it only grew stronger over the years, showing no sign of fading away.
The reason why she didn't have any intimate contact while dating Wen Song was simply because she felt that if they didn't take it to the final step, she would still have a way out if Guan Ju discovered that her Alpha best friend had a crush on her.
At first, he did indeed mistake Wen Song for Guan Ju, but he soon changed his mind.
Wen Song is Wen Song.
Guan Ju is Guan Ju.
Aside from a slight resemblance in their profiles, there are almost no other similarities.
Gradually, I began to get used to Wen Song's presence.
As Zhao Mingzhuo watched Wen Song's back as she busily made sandwiches in the kitchen, a vague sense of resentment and frustration rose in his heart.
They do not want an arranged marriage.
Now, both Zheng Rong and Qi Sheng are pressing hard, and even their illegitimate children are starting to make moves. The only way out now is through a marriage alliance.
Everything was fine a while ago, but now it's like a well-controlled chess game being disrupted by external forces.
It's out of control.
This caused him to be unable to balance the relationships between them.
but---
If Wen Song likes him, they can consider divorce after dealing with Zheng Rong.
Zhao Mingzhuo knew he could never confess his feelings to Guan Ju in this lifetime. This relationship was destined to remain hidden, and once discovered, they would most likely be unable to even remain friends.
In fact, human nature is always greedy.
You need to have at least one of Wen Song and Guan Ju.
At the same time, the position of Zheng Rong's successor must also belong to him.
"You can come and have breakfast now." Wen Song placed the prepared sandwiches on the table.
Zhao Mingzhuo got up, slowly walked to the dining table and sat down. He took out his phone, took a picture and posted it on his WeChat Moments before slowly eating.
"You should sit down and eat with us."
Wen Song made two different flavors.
Upon hearing this, she did not refuse, pulled out a chair and sat down to have her last breakfast with Zhao Mingzhuo.
·
Dingsheng Group, President's Office.
After Guan Sui returned from the meeting, she leaned back on the sofa, took out her phone, and sent a message to Wen Song to inquire about the situation.
Five minutes passed without a response.
Logically speaking, a breakup shouldn't take this long.
At that moment, a red dot appeared in the "Discover" section at the bottom of WeChat. I had a vague guess in my mind, so I clicked on it and found that a familiar profile picture had posted an update.
— Zhao Mingzhuo.
Guan Ju frowned, opened her Moments, refreshed it, and the first post was from Zhao Mingzhuo.
【Zhao Mingzhuo】: Delicious.
The accompanying picture is of a beautifully presented sandwich.
The brief two-word description and the accompanying image almost killed Guan Ju.
He exited his WeChat Moments and sent a message to Wen Song with a blank expression.
[S]: Have you broken up with him or not? He's getting engaged in two days, when will it be my turn? Are you really planning to spend your life with him? Never mind, I've thought about what you asked me about having a backup plan, I'm willing.
