Chapter 59 Friend, you're talking way too much.
That statement is quite normal.
Don't be fooled by Zhao Mingzhuo's seemingly glamorous life as the heir to Zhengrong. Behind the scenes, he has an illegitimate son who is eyeing the position of heir. In addition, given Chairman Zhao's biased nature, if we're not careful, the originally designated position might be secretly replaced by that illegitimate son.
Before one's wings are fully grown, one must always have to give up something.
For example, marriage.
It is said that marriage is a major life event and should not be taken lightly, but for them, it can be used as a bargaining chip to obtain benefits for both parties and achieve a win-win situation.
It's true that Xu Shaoze likes Zhao Mingzhuo.
but---
The marriage between Qisheng and Zhengrong will also bring benefits.
It's just a difference between the eldest son and the illegitimate son.
Zhao Mingzhuo lowered his head and gave a bitter smile: "You're right."
Therefore, he has no say in his marriage. In order to secure the position of the heir, he bets his future on it, hoping to get what he needs in return. When the time is right and he has achieved his goal, he will consider taking back what he has lost.
"It's alright," Duan comforted her, "It's a wonderful day."
"Xu Shaoze is great. He's an Omega, and I heard that your compatibility is as high as 90%. If you get through your fertile period and heat together, you might be able to have a baby with extremely high pheromone levels."
Knowing that Zhao Mingzhuo was helpless about the marriage, Duan still said a few words about things that the other party disliked, trying to persuade him to like Xu Shaoze and stop bothering Wen Song.
For Guan Ju's lifelong happiness, he really did many things against his conscience.
Zhao Mingzhuo: "........."
It's impossible to think of it as a kind remark.
He said, "I'm a bit busy, I have to go greet the guests, you two—"
Duan waved his hand, "Go ahead and get busy. Ah Sui and I will find our seats."
Zhao Mingzhuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Before leaving, his gaze fell once more on Guan Sui, who hadn't uttered a single word since delivering the flowers. Their eyes met, and a barely perceptible emotion flickered in his eyes. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the green roses, gave a slight nod as a greeting, and hurried away to find Xu Shaoze to greet the guests together.
"...Why is the way he's looking at you so strange?" Duan Ze keenly noticed all of this.
Guan Ju didn't take it seriously: "Really? I didn't notice anything wrong."
Duan stroked his chin and said, "Absolutely, it feels like I'm afraid to look at you."
Guan Ju lifted her eyelids: "Why?"
Duan shrugged and pouted, "Who knows why?"
Guan Ju didn't take it seriously at all: "Then let's ignore it."
He had noticed Zhao Mingzhuo's gaze a long time ago; it always seemed like he wanted to say something but hesitated, and he would occasionally stare at him absentmindedly. Sometimes at parties, he could make eye contact with Zhao Mingzhuo just by turning his head.
The other party is an Alpha.
I usually interact with and date Omegas.
It couldn't be that she had a crush on him.
He's not so narcissistic as to believe that his "good buddies" secretly have a crush on him.
The engagement banquet was very elaborate, with a high-profile decoration that didn't look like it was prepared in just two days. It was clear that the hosts took this engagement very seriously.
Guan Ju and Zhao Mingzhuo were seated in the front row due to their status and relationship.
The Wen family sat at the table next to them.
As soon as Wen Song sat down, he noticed someone staring intently at him. He looked up and, sure enough, it was Guan Ju.
Those present who knew about his relationship with Zhao Mingzhuo were all watching with amusement, but Guan Ju's gaze was particularly easy to spot, with a direct and honest look as if he were staring at everything, without any attempt to conceal anything.
Alpha leaned back and raised an eyebrow at him as a greeting.
With so many people around, anyone who pays a little attention can spot the ambiguous interaction between the two.
Wen Song: "......"
They're talking about a secret relationship.
The result was still the same: there was no attempt to avoid suspicion, and it was almost as if he was about to say, "This is my boyfriend."
Compared to the sneaky interactions of the past, the interactions are now completely open and aboveboard.
Wen Xu, who was sitting next to her drinking juice, noticed that the two were looking at each other. She leaned a little towards Wen Song and followed his gaze. Her eyes first fell on Duan Ze for a few seconds before finally landing on Guan Ju.
He asked in a low voice, "Why is Guan Ju looking at you?"
Wen Song looked away and took a small sip of the juice on the table.
"have no idea."
"Maybe it's because I'm good-looking."
Wen Xu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock: "You can joke around, right?"
Wen Song: "..." This makes him sound like a wooden robot.
Wen Xu felt something was off. She looked up at Guan Ju, who was sitting upright listening to Duan Ze speak, and then squinted at Wen Song beside her. The two people, who seemed to have no connection and no common circle, suddenly seemed to have a social relationship.
There's definitely something fishy going on.
He had never seen Guan Ju treat any Alpha, Omega, or Beta with such a friendly attitude.
The two stood together, their presence a mask of unspoken tension.
It's like —
Wen Xu's mind suddenly cleared up, and as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, he uncontrollably reached out and grabbed the arm of the Beta next to him, shouting, "Wen Song!"
People around who heard the commotion all looked over.
Including Mr. Wen and Wen Su.
"...It's nothing." Wen Xu smiled awkwardly, "I just have something I want to talk to Wen Song about."
He then leaned close to Wen Song's bewildered ear, suppressing his excitement and carefully choosing his words. After a long while, he finally asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you and Guan Sui...?"
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid.
But Wen Song understood what Wen Xu wanted to say from the meaningful look on his face.
Before he could deny or admit it, Wen Xu patted his shoulder, her expression one of relief as if she had just shaken off a heavy burden.
"Very good."
"finally---"
"You don't need to be paired with him."
"But it seems you've jumped from Zhao Mingzhuo's fire pit into Guan Ju's, this wicked Alpha's fire pit."
"That's great."
"It doesn't matter if you go into the fire, as long as I'm free!"
After saying that, Wen Xu's face showed a mixture of sympathy and schadenfreude: "I guess taking care of an emotionally immature person must be very painful."
Wen Song, who hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end, simply said: "........."
Friend, you're talking way too much.
