Chapter 81 Wen Song is taking a shower. What do you want to talk to me about?
Guan Sui walked to the bedside table, reached out and picked up Wen Song's phone, tapped the screen, and saw WeChat messages lying quietly on the lock screen.
Take a closer look at the notes.
———It is Zhao Mingzhuo.
The other party sent two messages, which were quite long, but some of the content was hidden.
Two days ago, I helped Wen Song send messages to other people and knew their passwords. Guan Ju unlocked the app with practiced ease, entered WeChat, and saw a small red dot next to Zhao Mingzhuo's profile picture in the message list.
Without any hesitation, he calmly clicked in.
[Zhao Mingzhuo]: You said you have someone you like, are you referring to Guan Ju?
[Zhao Mingzhuo]: I've been thinking about a lot of things these past two days but haven't figured them out yet. Some things are hard to explain in words, so let's find some time to meet privately and talk about our situation with Guan Sui.
After reading the message, Guan Ju long-pressed the voice message and said, word by word:
"Wen Song is taking a shower. You can talk to me about what's on your mind."
Release your hand, and the voice message is sent out with a whoosh.
Several minutes passed after the message was sent, but Zhao Mingzhuo did not reply.
Guan Ju put the phone back in its place and continued tidying the room, which was only half-finished. After everything was clean, she went back to the bathroom to help Wen Song change the hot water in the tub so that he could continue taking a bath before going to the kitchen to make lunch.

Silver Lake Mansion.
Zhao Mingzhuo stayed at home for two days without going out, and the floor was littered with overturned bottles and cigarette butts.
With trusted associates managing the company, no unexpected situations will arise during his absence in the short term. After taking over and getting things running smoothly for about half a month, he rarely encountered matters requiring his personal attention.
When I close my eyes, all I can think of are Wen Song and Guan Ju.
I just can't understand why two completely unrelated people would get involved.
At first, Wen Song didn't reply to his messages and refused to meet him in private, which hurt his strong sense of pride. Later, when he saw that Wen Song said she had someone she liked, he was so upset that he couldn't bring himself to ask who it was.
After the standoff between the bar and Guan Ju.
Zhao Mingzhuo was not as clear-headed as he had been in the past two days, turning into a detective and searching for clues from various activities, banquets, and interactions between the two over the past few months.
It's like having an invisible green hat on your head.
I was furious.
If his friend A hadn't seen Guan Ju and Wen Song at the hospital, he might have been kept in the dark for the rest of his life.
Hold!
Unable to understand it, Zhao Mingzhuo continued to send messages to Wen Song, determined to hear him admit it himself before he would believe it was true.
It wasn't that Guan Ju was deliberately showing off to him.
Unexpectedly—
Alpha's cool voice came through the voice chat: "Wen Song is taking a shower. What's on your mind?"
The person who replied to the message was actually Guan Ju!
Zhao Mingzhuo clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the sofa, instantly causing it to dent by more than half.
Why is Guan Ju standing next to Wen Song at this time? And why is he being so ambiguous? He's an Alpha who's been through this before, and he knows that it's impossible to resist having someone you like by your side.
You can guess what Wen Song and Guan Ju did last night without even thinking.
At that moment, Zhao Mingzhuo felt a little short of breath; if he saw it with his own eyes, he would definitely be in even more unbearable pain.
"Beep—"
Password unlock.
As soon as Xu Shaoze opened the door, he smelled a strong odor of alcohol and cigarettes in the villa. He couldn't help but frown. Avoiding the scattered cans and cigarette butts, he held his breath and walked step by step to the sofa.
Looking at Zhao Mingzhuo, who was lying on the sofa like a dead fish.
The other person had their hand over their eyes, their lips pressed down, and Alph was extremely irritable and seemed to be in a bad mood. Even though they noticed someone standing next to them, they remained unchanged.
“I couldn’t find you at the company today,” Xu Shaoze said. “Assistant Li said you took a week off.”
"I thought you were sick, so I came to check on you, but I never expected—"
He looked around at the messy surroundings. Alpha's shirt was wrinkled and hadn't been changed in days, and his chin was covered in stubble from neglect.
"You're so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or demoralized)."
Zhao Mingzhuo did not respond.
Xu Shaoze immediately became angry: "Do you regret getting engaged? It's too late to regret it now."
"The situation is still unstable, Zhao Mingzhuo. You chose this path, and you must continue on it no matter what."
If it weren't for his feelings for Zhao Mingzhuo, how could he possibly tolerate the other person's dejected and heartbroken behavior because of someone else?
Moreover, all of this is caused by pheromones.
The two of them are 95% compatible.
Therefore, Zhao Mingzhuo was very attractive to Xu Shaoze. Similarly, Xu Shaoze was also attractive to Zhao Mingzhuo.
Putting aside pheromones, Zhao Mingzhuo has someone in his heart.
Xu Shaoze had always known this.
He was a rather arrogant Omega. Since Zhao Mingzhuo had agreed to get engaged to him and wanted to use him, he had to do as agreed beforehand and stay by his side.
Xu Shaoze originally thought that Zhao Mingzhuo would continue to play dead and remain silent. Alphas are known for their fiery tempers and lack of temper, not to mention their current state of being distraught and disheveled.
It was obvious that he had encountered something unacceptable.
For example, heartbreak.
Xu Shaoze wasn't in Zhao Mingzhuo's social circle, but he had vaguely heard that Wen Song quickly started dating other Alphas after their engagement.
He only heard this from someone who had gleaned some gossip at the Cloud Bar before, and he didn't know the specifics.
Who knew—
Zhao Mingzhuo's voice was slightly hoarse, and it was clear that the other party hadn't said much in the past two days.
"Have you reached an agreement with Guan Ju?"
Xu Shaoze visibly panicked, but quickly concealed it. His Adam's apple bobbed as he asked, "What does this mean?"
Zhao Mingzhuo lowered his arm, his peach blossom eyes losing their usual spirit and now filled with bloodshot veins, clearly indicating that he had not been getting enough sleep recently.
"You suddenly contacted me because Guan Ju was behind it all, wasn't that?"
Xu Shaoze calmed his flustered mind, making sure the Alpha didn't notice the slightest clue.
I don't understand what you mean.
Zhao Mingzhuo sat up and stared intently at Xu Shaoze, who was standing in front of him.
It must be said that Xu Shaoze is a uniquely handsome Omega, possessing a distinctive beauty and fragility, and his pheromones are very sweet, like the scent of a peach.
They are a very good match.
Even a small amount of pheromones can attract each other.
"Xu Shaoze," Zhao Mingzhuo suddenly called out.
"What do you like about me? My face? Or my pheromones?"
Xu Shaoze thought the Alpha would continue to ask about Guan Ju, but unexpectedly asked such a trivial question to the other party.
During this time, they "played along," kissing, sleeping together, and accompanying each other through their vulnerable and estrus periods.
Before he lost his temper, Zhao Mingzhuo was a considerate Alpha, quite a gentleman, including in matters of the heart.
It gives the illusion that they are deeply in love.
It was probably the pheromones that made Xu Shaoze like Zhao Mingzhuo more than other Omegas.
"To marry me," Zhao Mingzhuo's lips curled into a mocking smile, "you conspired with Guan Ju behind my back to scheme against me, didn't you?"
Xu Shaoze quickly denied it: "I didn't!"
"You haven't lost anything yet, have you? Zheng Rong is yours! Wasn't your goal in the first place to become the heir?"
He did indeed agree to cooperate with Guan Ju.
However, he never did anything to harm Zhao Mingzhuo's interests.
At most, they would incite the illegitimate child in the branch company to make Zhao Mingzhuo feel threatened, and then arrange an early engagement so that Zhao Mingzhuo could become Zhengrong's successor as soon as possible.
Apart from that, he has never done anything to wrong Zhao Mingzhuo, and even brought a large share of Qisheng as a dowry to her. Is that not enough?
“You don’t need to hide it,” Zhao Mingzhuo said. “Guan Ju has already admitted that he manipulated the marriage.”
Xu Shaoze was speechless.
It seems they didn't expect Guan Ju to admit it.
That's normal, though. Guan Ju and Zhao Mingzhuo are good brothers, so they would naturally tell each other about doing something so good.
At this time, Xu Shaoze had no idea that Guan Ju and Wen Song were together, let alone that Guan Ju had asked him to cooperate so that Wen Song could leave Zhao Mingzhuo as soon as possible.
When Guan Ju approached him for cooperation, the conditions he proposed were to give him Zhao Mingzhuo and allocate a project to Qisheng.
Since he likes Zhao Mingzhuo anyway, why not?
Xu Shaoze: "But we did it all for you—"
"That's enough," Zhao Mingzhuo interrupted Xu Shaoze.
“I know perfectly well whether it’s for my own sake or for yours,” Zhao Mingzhuo bluntly exposed. “You married me so you could take control of Qisheng sooner. Besides, Dingsheng recently assigned your company a project, and you won’t lose out by marrying into Zhengrong, will you?”
Xu Shaoze was speechless.
Because all of these are true.
"As for Guan Ju..." Zhao Mingzhuo knew from that day at the bar that the other party was after Wen Song.
No wonder his carefully laid plans were suddenly disrupted; it turns out there was a mastermind behind it all—Guan Ju.
Arranged marriage was not a necessary path, but it became the only way out.
"I don't want to get involved in your affairs," Zhao Mingzhuo said coldly.
Xu Shaoze pursed his lips: "Have you fallen for Wen Song?"
Zhao Mingzhuo was caught off guard by the sudden question and didn't know how to answer.
Do you like Wen Song?
I'll say it again.
No one dislikes Wen Song, who is obedient, sensible, and caring.
Unfortunately, it's a Beta version.
In fact, Zhao Mingzhuo has never figured out his own feelings. After all, he really likes Guan Ju, but he has an inexplicable feeling for Wen Song.
I don't know if it's because the other person looks like Guan Ju or for some other reason.
Seeing Zhao Mingzhuo with his head down as if he was thinking, Xu Shaoze thought the other man was really pathetic. He called himself a playboy, but he couldn't even distinguish between the two words "like".
He said, "If you don't like him, why are you acting like this?"
Zhao Mingzhuo suddenly had a revelation.
yes.
If you don't like Wen Song, why are you making yourself look so miserable?
He admitted that his Alpha pride and possessiveness were indeed at play, and that his feelings for Wen Song had changed over time as they spent together.
Xu Shaoze noticed the change in Zhao Mingzhuo's expression and sneered, "So what if you like him?"
"Zhengrong and Qisheng are already bound together. Are you willing to give up your position as heir for Wensong?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingzhuo's initial joy vanished instantly.
"If you'd like—"
Xu Shaoze said, word by word, "Then your father's illegitimate son should be laughing very happily."
He was too lazy to keep up the act. After all these years, he had gotten whatever he wanted, and his temper could no longer be contained. He pretended to have thought of something and said, "Oh? I just remembered that your agreement ended a long time ago. I heard that Wen Song also has someone he likes. Even if you are willing to give up the position of Zheng Rong's heir for the other person, I'm afraid the other person doesn't need it."
Every word felt like a sharp sword piercing Zhao Mingzhuo's heart.
The sudden joy almost made Zhao Mingzhuo forget that Wen Song was now with Guan Sui.
“Zhao Mingzhuo.” Xu Shaoze bent down and stared at the Alpha’s face.
"You'll probably be tied to me for the rest of your life."
"At least---"
She abandoned her usual coquettishness, arrogance, and soft demeanor, and said in an extremely cold voice, "You can only leave completely after I no longer need you."
Zhao Mingzhuo pursed his thin lips into a straight line.
Xu Shaoze stood up.
"You should take a good look in the mirror and see just how awful your complexion is right now."
"Don't make it seem like I'm forcing you."
"Because you are also a beneficiary."
After speaking, Xu Shaoze straightened his suit cuffs, his gaze falling on the stylish cufflinks lying among a pile of trash. Before leaving, he said, "This brand is quite niche, but I've never seen you wear it before. I personally think it doesn't suit you; the style is a bit outdated. You should buy the latest designs to match."
"However, you probably won't be able to buy the latest model, because the company has been taken over by Dingsheng."
After Xu Shaoze left, Zhao Mingzhuo sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the cufflink for a long time.
This is the birthday gift Wen Song bought for him last year.
The other person seemed to really like the jewelry in this store; almost all the gifts he received were purchased from there.
I must say, it's really good.
The design, details, and workmanship are all exceptionally refined, rivaling any major brand.
Unfortunately, they can no longer be bought.

Wen Song accidentally fell asleep while taking a bath.
Perhaps it was because I was too tired these past few days, the steaming hot water made me drowsy.
Fortunately, Guan Ju had anticipated this situation and would occasionally come in to check the water temperature while cooking, worried that Beta might be sleeping too soundly and drown.
Wen Song, who had fallen asleep again by accident, suddenly dreamed of flying, feeling as if he were weightless and soaring into the air.
When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Guan Ju who had carried him out of the bathtub.
Seeing the person in his arms groggily open their eyes, the Alpha walked steadily, carrying the Beta wrapped in a bath towel into the room, then dried them off and put them back in bed.
He tucked the blanket in and said gently, "If you're still sleepy, you can go back to sleep for a while."
After being carried to the room and having my body wiped down, I was wide awake and only managed a yawn.
"I'm not sleepy anymore."
"And you?" Wen Song snuggled into Guan Ju's arms and sniffed. "Is your susceptible period over?"
As we learned in physiology class, Alphas are susceptible for at least three days.
