Chapter 5 So I'm the Mistress
Upon hearing Wen Song bring up what happened last night and offer a rather sincere apology, Guan Ju instantly understood that the other party wanted to distance himself from the situation and therefore took all the blame upon himself.
If it were someone else, they would have let it go.
but---
"You're not planning to take responsibility, are you?" Guan Sui stood by the bed, looking down at Wen Song.
A top-tier Alpha actually said that the Beta should be held responsible.
Wen Song was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.
How do you want me to take responsibility?
Guan Ju knew about his relationship with Zhao Mingzhuo; the two were very close brothers.
Last night's in-depth conversation was a moral overreach, even though Wen Song knew that his relationship with Zhao Mingzhuo was not about who owed whom, but was a transaction from beginning to end.
When he first arrived in Suicheng and was harassed at the Wen family banquet, it was Zhao Mingzhuo who stood up for him. Although he didn't know why the other party suggested getting to know him, he naturally wouldn't refuse since Zhao Mingzhuo was willing to be his support and provide help in Suicheng.
After agreeing, Wen Song dutifully played the role of Zhao Mingzhuo's official boyfriend every day.
Zhan Mingzhuo will definitely fulfill his responsibilities as a boyfriend, since Zhao Mingzhuo simply wants to date him and give him everything he needs. Her occasional thoughtfulness and affection seem to indicate that she truly likes him.
but---
Several times he sensed that the other person seemed to be reminiscing about someone by looking at his face.
Wen Song doesn't have any real feelings for Zhao Mingzhuo.
“We’re maintaining this relationship,” Guan Sui said.
Upon hearing this, Wen Song thought he had misheard, frowned, and asked, "What did you say?"
Guan Sui walked to the computer desk not far away, took out the documents she had prepared in advance, returned to the bedside, placed the papers in her hand in front of Wen Song, and began to say, "What you need, I can give you as well as Zhao Mingzhuo."
Wen Song felt as if someone was gently choking her heart.
With his head down, he carefully examined the few pieces of paper that Guan Sui handed him.
———This is a report from the hospital team and information about Alph.
"What are these?" Wen Song vaguely guessed Guan Ju's meaning.
My grandmother's treatment is currently at a standstill. She has been taken to several hospitals, but they have all told her that she needs better care and cannot have surgery rashly. He knows that the hospitals' technical level is limited and that difficult cases are too risky. Therefore, a more professional team is needed to take over in order to ensure that the surgery can be performed faster and that the success rate can reach 60%.
But time waits for no one.
This is the problem that Wen Song is facing now.
The day before, his grandmother's attending physician had spoken with him, saying that her current physical condition did not support surgery, and that there was no way to alleviate the condition if it worsened, unless he sought a more reliable doctor.
However, with advancements in equipment, medications, and chemotherapy, hospitalization, medication, and surgery costs can be at least ten times higher than usual.
The Wen family wouldn't support it, and Zhao Mingzhuo certainly wouldn't spend that much money.
“I’m familiar with your grandmother’s condition. Don’t worry about the surgery,” Guan Sui said. “I have a more professional team here who is responsible for this condition, and I will cover all the expenses.”
"As for Alph---"
"To show my sincerity, I want to tell you that my situation is special."
"You're a Beta, which is perfect for me during my vulnerable period."
Wen Song's fingers curled unconsciously, and a corner of the paper was crumpled. "I'm not the only Beta in this world."
"We are doing the wrong thing."
Guan Ju leaned down, a smile playing on her lips. "What's wrong?"
Wen Song: ".........."
"Nothing is right."
He was morally torn apart by a beast, and his years of honesty and integrity prevented him from doing anything too outrageous.
“Then it becomes the right thing to do,” Guan Ju said, enunciating each word clearly.
Wen Song couldn't understand when Guan Ju had started targeting him. The two of them rarely interacted, and apart from their first conversation, they had hardly exchanged a single word on other occasions.
Not to mention knowing each other before, because Guan Sui only recently returned from abroad.
"Why?" he asked again, "There are so many Betas in the world."
Why did you choose your best friend's boyfriend?
Guan Ju stared at Wen Song with her dark eyes and said, "There's no reason why."
Wen Song lowered his eyes, "I can't have emotional entanglements with two people."
Guan Ju thought of the Beta who was so inexperienced last night that he didn't even know how to spread his legs, and asked with narrowed eyes, "Are you sure there's an emotional connection, and not a transaction between two people?"
Wen Song said without changing his expression, "Zhao Mingzhuo and I are still in a relationship."
Their relationship was known to everyone in the Suicheng social circle.
Guan Ju nodded repeatedly, "So I'm the mistress."
Wen Song: ".........?"
It's absurd to have the real top Alpha prince of Suicheng become his mistress.
"Do you like Zhao Mingzhuo?" Guan Ju asked, looking into Wen Song's eyes.
Wen Song felt as if he were completely exposed in front of Guan Ju. Guan Ju had somehow seen through his relationship with Zhao Mingzhuo, which was only nominal, otherwise she wouldn't have been so openly trying to poach him.
He remained silent on the matter.
We're too passive.
Guan Ju seemed to have everything under control, knowing everything about him and holding his lifeline and leverage. If he really agreed, he would be like a dog in high society being led around at will.
"Is it hard to answer?" Guan Ju scoffed lightly.
Alpha never likes to hide his emotions, not to mention that he has been in a high position of power since childhood. His background is enough to make him domineering in Suicheng. Almost no one dares to disobey him, or bargain or make conditions.
Since it concerned her grandmother's illness, Wen Song couldn't refuse so easily.
He said, "I........." will think about it.
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door and Zhao Mingzhuo's voice.
"A-Sui—"
Upon hearing Zhao Mingzhuo's voice, Wen Song tensed up immediately, reaching out to pull the blanket up to her shoulders. Last night's events had been too intense, leaving suggestive marks on her collarbone, chest, shoulders, and waist.
Outside is his real "boyfriend".
If the other party were to break into the room, they would surely discover the outrageous things they had done last night.
Guan Ju remained indifferent, seemingly unafraid of being caught in an affair.
Wen Song had always been the obedient, well-behaved, and high-achieving child in other people's eyes since childhood, so he felt somewhat embarrassed in this situation, especially since he was now naked in his boyfriend's best friend's bed.
It would be very dangerous if I were found out.
"Click—" Suddenly, the sound of a doorknob being turned came.
A hint of tension rose on Wen Song's usually calm face. Just as she was about to bury herself under the covers, she discovered that the door was locked from the inside, preventing Zhao Mingzhuo from getting in. She could only continue knocking on the door while calling Guan Sui's name.
Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
