Chapter 51 Can we kiss next time?
Wen Song was stunned for a moment after hearing Guan Ju's words before gradually coming back to his senses.
He said, "I arrived at Silver Lake Mansion at 8:21 a.m., and the breakup talk took less than ten minutes. The contract has not been cancelled yet, and they will send me a termination agreement tomorrow."
In addition to the termination agreement, there is also a breakup compensation.
Before leaving Silver Lake Mansion, Zhao Mingzhuo said that he could contact him anytime if he encountered any problems in the future.
He also said that once Zheng Rong's matter is resolved, they will re-evaluate their relationship.
I don't quite understand.
Wasn't their relationship clearly stated in the contract?
The Zhao Mingzhuo of today feels somewhat different from the Zhao Mingzhuo of the past.
The words seem to be hinting at something.
Unfortunately, Wen Song was rather slow to react and couldn't give much of a response. Occasionally, she could only say things like "Oh," "Okay," "I know," or "Sure," which seemed like perfunctory replies.
"It takes ten minutes to talk about breaking up, but how long does it take to make a sandwich?" Guan Sui said calmly, her tongue pressed against her teeth, revealing no hint of gritted teeth or secret jealousy.
After saying that, he looked up at the antique clock in the center of the wall and said, "It's 10:40 now. It only takes fifteen minutes to get here from Silver Lake Mansion without traffic, but half an hour with traffic. In between, you have almost two hours. Besides having breakfast, what else did you talk about?"
Wen Song frowned imperceptibly.
He did not resist or reject Guan Ju's questioning, but he needed to carefully organize his thoughts to answer the questions based on these details.
Wen Song's silence sent Guan Ju the wrong message.
The termination agreement has not yet been released, which proves that the current contract with Zhao Mingzhuo is still in effect.
Just as Wen Song was about to finish outlining the specific timeline and was about to answer, she heard the Alpha on the other end add in a calm but slightly humble tone: "I asked those questions as a backup option."
“”
Downgraded from mistress to backup option?
"What is a backup plan?" Wen Song asked.
Guan Ju smiled and said, "Seeing you make him breakfast, I thought we hadn't broken up. Does that mean I've gone from being the other woman to a backup option?"
Wen Song: ""
"We broke up."
"But the contract hasn't been terminated yet."
Finally, she explained earnestly, "Breakfast is the last meal; I'll never have the chance to make it for him again."
Guan Ju was in high spirits: "So?"
Wen Song said, word by word, "You're not a backup plan."
Guan Ju remained expressionless and simply said "Oh," before calmly and quietly replying with a low laugh, "I'm still a mistress."
Wen Song: "?"
Is being a mistress addictive?
Every time I hear Guan Ju say these things in such a serious manner, I don't know how to respond.
If it were said on WeChat, it would be fine to pretend you didn't see it, but now that the two of you are standing face to face, you can't pretend you didn't hear it.
“I,” Wen Song said, his eyelids lowered, “I’ll come find you tomorrow to terminate the agreement.”
Guan Ju deliberately asked, "What do you want with me?"
Wen Song picked at his fingers: "I'll give you an answer."
Guan Ju lowered her head slightly: "Have you officially made me the official wife?"
Wen Song felt his face inexplicably hot: "........Mm."
Guan Ju suddenly let out a genuine chuckle.
"OK."
After saying that, he glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "I have something to do, so I'm going back to the company first."
Wen Song knew Guan Ju was very busy.
On weekdays, you almost never see them.
"Okay." He nodded.
Seeing how well-behaved the person was, Guan Ju's heart fluttered, and she especially wanted to kiss him.
However, there are security cameras in the living room, so I can't do whatever I want.
Finally, he straightened up, put his hands in his suit trouser pockets, and smiled slightly. "I'll wait for you."
Wen Song lifted his eyelids and stared at the Alpha standing in front of him.
The other party then said, "—Come find me and fulfill our promise."
Wen Song couldn't remember making any promises.
But I understand that Guan Ju was probably referring to a one-month timeframe to consider whether to maintain the relationship.
“Okay,” he nodded, “I’ll come find you after I get the termination contract.”
"...I'll remember to charge my phone then."
Guan Ju gave a short laugh.
"Can."
The two stopped talking, as it wouldn't be good if Grandpa Wen came back and saw them.
Guan Ju had only taken a couple of steps when, as if remembering something, he turned back and asked again:
"Can we kiss next time?"
Wen Song: "......"
Alpha has so many thoughts.
“Yes,” he said, avoiding eye contact, “after I completely end my relationship with Zhao Mingzhuo.”
Guan Ju was even more pleased: "Okay."
"It's a bit cold outside, so you don't need to see me off. The car is parked in the yard, and I can go out by myself."
It's late autumn now, and we're about to enter early winter. The weather in Suicheng is unpredictable. Yesterday it was still short sleeves, but today the temperature has dropped sharply, and we need to wear a heavy cotton-padded coat.
Wen Song nodded slowly upon hearing this.
A short while after he left, he heard the sound of a car starting. Two minutes later, all the sounds disappeared and returned to silence. He was still standing in front of the living room sofa.
"Ta-da—"
Suddenly, footsteps were heard.
Wen Song looked up at the second floor.
It's Wen Xu.
The other person rested their hands on the stair railing, leaned slightly forward, propped their chin on one hand, and asked with a hint of gossip in their eyes, "What were you and Guan Ju talking about?"
Then, muttering to himself with a hint of confusion, he said:
"He, such a cold and ruthless person, actually gave you such a subtle smile..."
Wen Xu hadn't forgotten the barely suppressed smile on Guan Sui's lips when she came out earlier.
Although you can't hear what the two are saying, you can tell from the Alpha's expression that it's definitely a topic that's exciting and fun.
It was really strange and eerie for an aloof, taciturn, and expressionless Alpha to show such a strange smile.
Something just doesn't feel right.
These two don't seem to have any grudge against each other.
“I didn’t say anything,” Wen Song naturally wouldn’t tell Guan Sui what they had talked about, “I just said a few words.”
Wen Xu chuckled and said, "Don't you think I know you 'just said a few words'?"
"never mind."
"I'm not going to gossip anymore!"
"Anyway, Guan Ju is your boyfriend's best friend—"
“No.” Wen Song interrupted Wen Xu.
He calmly said under the other person's gaze, "Zhao Mingzhuo and I broke up this morning."
Wen Xu: "Hmm?"
"Why? Did you bring it up or did he?"
When it comes to private matters, Wen Song feels it's okay to talk about them.
Anyway, we'll have to tell the whole world.
“He’s getting engaged,” Wen Song said.
Wen Xu: "............?"
Omega's face was filled with shock and astonishment. A moment later, he came down from the second floor, stood in front of Wen Song with his hands on his hips, and wanted to say a bunch of swear words, but he swallowed them all when he met the other's docile and obedient expression.
Who is the older brother? Who is the younger brother?
They really were bullied!
"He just told you he wanted to get engaged?" Wen Xu suppressed her anger. "Isn't that treating you like a pet toy?"
"Damn Zhao Mingzhuo, I heard about this from Duan Ze last time. I thought at least we would part amicably before starting a new relationship. I didn't expect this stupid Alpha to do something so disgusting."
Wen Song knew that Wen Xu was standing up for him.
Finally, he said, "Zhao Mingzhuo said he would give me a breakup fee."
Wen Xu: "".
"Does having a little bit of money really make you think you're an emperor?"
How much should we give?
Wen Song: "Fifty million, two villas, and..."
Wen Xu frowned: "On the other hand, this money isn't actually tainted."
Wen Song was amused by the other party's sudden change of attitude.
"You don't need to worry that I'll suffer a loss."
"I took advantage of Zhao Mingzhuo quite a bit."
Wen Xu was still thinking about how to squeeze more money out of Zhao Mingzhuo when he heard Wen Song say this, and immediately frowned, "When have I ever worried that you would suffer a loss?"
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll be sold out and still help the seller count the money?"
When is he getting engaged?
If I could, I'd really like to bring a group of people to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, Wen's Group and Zheng Rong have a good relationship, so they can't do something so humiliating that would easily cause conflict among the elders.
"The day after tomorrow," Wen Song said.
Wen Xu turned his head and cursed "Damn it!" before saying, "Is he not going to live past the day after tomorrow? He actually broke up with you today and is going to hold an engagement party the day after tomorrow."
"As expected, none of the Alphas are good people."
Wen Song expressed his agreement.
He began to think to himself, "Guan Ju should be a good Alpha, right?"
The two are now on the same side.
Unfortunately, not long after, Wen Su and Old Master Wen returned.
Wen Song pondered how to tell them about breaking up with Zhao Mingzhuo.
After all, Grandpa Wen had always thought highly of their relationship. Even if he didn't say it, Wen Song knew that the old man thought it was a great honor for him, a Beta, to date Prince Zheng Rong.
never mind.
Let's talk about it on the day of the engagement banquet.
