Chapter 39 A Breath of Relief
Wen Xu held the wine glass between two fingers, looked Wen Song up and down, and raised an eyebrow, "Why are you asking this?"
Wen Song: ".........."
For a moment, I was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Whether Guan Ju could decide her own marriage was indeed none of his business.
"Curious." He gave a reasonable answer.
Wen Xu raised an eyebrow, took a sip of champagne, and said, "I don't know."
He swallowed the last sip of champagne, his Adam's apple bobbing, and tilted his chin toward the four o'clock position.
"If you really want to know, you can ask him directly."
Wen Song looked in the direction the other party indicated.
I spotted Guan Ju at a glance as I walked through the crowd.
Today is the other person's birthday.
For this occasion, a simple hairstyle was clearly chosen.
Her hair was pulled upwards to reveal her full forehead, with the ends falling naturally, and a tuft of hair on each side placed in front of her forehead.
With high brow bones, deep-set eyes, and a taut, smooth profile, his sculpted features exude a wild, aggressive Alpha-like quality.
Standing at 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, she possesses excellent proportions, exuding a noble and aloof air, making her stand out in a crowd.
Perhaps because Alphas with top-tier pheromones are more perceptive than others, Wen Song was caught before his gaze lingered on Guan Sui for even three seconds.
The other person picked up the champagne in their hand and raised it towards his location.
They are saying hello.
Seeing this, Wen Xu squinted and asked, "Are you two very close?"
Wen Song withdrew her gaze. "Why do you ask that?"
Wen Xu curled her lip, "Guan Ju's personality makes it impossible for her to greet strangers politely. It's obvious that you two know each other and have a good relationship."
Upon hearing this analysis, Wen Song inexplicably felt that it made some sense.
Although he and Guan Ju didn't spend every day together, her personality was quite obvious. Before they had any interaction, she seemed to maintain a cold and silent attitude.
"I guess we know each other." He didn't deny it.
Wen Xu: "Then you can ask him yourself."
Wen Song: "What are you asking?"
Wen Xu turned her head closer to him and said, "Do you have the power to decide your marriage?"
Wen Song: ""
"I won't ask."
Wen Xu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Weren't you very curious? You just asked me about it."
Wen Song denied it: "I'm not curious."
Wen Xu pursed her lips, offering no rebuttal or response.
"Speaking of which—"
She drew out the last syllable, her gaze sweeping through the crowd, "Where's your boyfriend? It's Guan Sui's birthday today, he should be here, right?"
Wen Song: "I don't know."
Zhao Mingzhuo hadn't contacted him for the past two days, and the other party didn't know he was attending the birthday party.
Wen Xu stroked his chin: "Don't you guys usually keep in touch? You should report these things to each other and share your schedules, right?"
For them, sharing their lives and reporting their itineraries are simply not relevant behaviors.
They haven't gotten to that point yet.
In other words, there is absolutely no ambiguity involved.
He would only message Zhao Mingzhuo when Zhao needed him, and occasionally he would stay overnight. Most of the time, he would help with cooking, participating in activities, and taking care of daily life.
It's more like the life of an "old married couple".
"No contact," Wen Song replied truthfully.
Wen Xu: "......So you two are a couple? It's fake, right?"
Wen Song did not answer.
Because they weren't really in a romantic relationship.
It's just using the guise of being in a relationship.
Even if we don't know why Zhao Mingzhuo proposed such a contract in the first place.
However, the other party's request and the conditions they offered were quite good, so there was no reason for him to refuse.
"I don't know," Wen Song replied truthfully.
Wen Xu looked the extremely beautiful Beta up and down.
That's right.
It's beautiful.
This term is not limited to gender at all.
Even though Wen Song is a male Beta, using this term doesn't feel out of place at all.
“It’s alright,” Wen Xu said. “Zhao Mingzhuo is not a good man.”
After saying that, he added, "There aren't many good Alphas in the industry, they're all scumbags. Just don't get scammed out of everything."
Wen Song: ""
He's not that stupid.
Just because someone may seem docile and quiet doesn't mean they'll actually be fooled.
On the contrary, Wen Xu—
They seem like they're easy to fool.
It gives people a sense of contrast, making it easy to understand the other person's thoughts and feelings.
“I know.” Wen Song had never imagined developing feelings for any Alpha in Suicheng.
For some reason, Guan Ju's face suddenly appeared in my mind.
"Hey!" Wen Xu suddenly exclaimed in surprise, not knowing what she had seen.
Upon hearing this, Wen Song looked in the direction the other person was looking, puzzled, and asked while turning her head, "What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Mingzhuo walking side by side with an Omega in a white suit not far away.
The two were very affectionate.
Omega linked arms with Zhao Mingzhuo.
It appears he attended the birthday party as her date's boyfriend.
Wen Xu frowned: "This Omega is the young master of Qi Sheng, named Xu Shaoze."
Qisheng is quite well-known in Suicheng. It's an internet company and has business dealings with Zhengrong. The two companies are well-matched.
Wen Song understood.
No wonder this Omega has a slightly different temperament from the Omega who used to be around Zhao Mingzhuo.
In addition, Zhao Mingzhuo has never brought an Omega male partner to public.
This is the first time.
"You..." Wen Xu pursed her lips, her gaze fixed on Wen Song. "Are you alright?"
Wen Song's eyelashes fluttered, she looked up, a smile playing on her lips, "Is there something I should say?"
Wen Xu: "If you're really upset, don't force yourself to be okay."
Wen Xu: "Zhao Mingzhuo was never an Alpha worth relying on."
It is well known that when someone in the entertainment industry publicly brings a male companion, it signifies that "good things are coming soon," especially if the two are well-matched, one being an Alpha and the other an Omega. They would not appear together in the same place without any prior collaboration.
Wen Song couldn't help but smile when she saw that Wen Xu wasn't acting this time, unlike usual.
If a younger brother who is three years younger than me is so "sensible" and "clear-headed", how could he possibly not understand anything?
Zhao Mingzhuo may really be getting married.
It is highly likely that the marriage is arranged by family alliances, and the Omega male companion who attended the event is being married off.
“Don’t worry,” Wen Song said, “I’m not sad.”
Wen Xu didn't quite believe it.
"Really?"
"Don't lie to me."
"You two have been together for almost two years. Even if he's a scumbag Alpha, the help he provides should make you feel grateful and mistakenly think it's love."
Wen Song never expected that Wen Xu, such a pure and proud Omega, would know about this situation.
He said, "I'm not lying to you, I'm really not sad."
Instead of feeling sad, I felt a slight sense of relief.
