Uncrowned King
Su Liu and Mu Qingting chatted for the whole afternoon until night fell.
After having a pretty good dinner at the school, Su Liu was taken back to the Duke's Mansion by Mr. Lou who was waiting at the door.
Ever since she learned that the people he had been with for the past ten years were all Boss Lou, Su Liu finally understood how Qi Fengling, such a gentle-looking Alpha, could do such shocking things.
In fact, these characteristics are also reflected in the novels written by Boss Lou.
Only a rebellious and unruly author can write a rebellious and unruly protagonist.
A rebellious and unruly protagonist is a rebellious and unruly author.
"You've written four books, and the protagonists of three of them don't look like you. Why is The Dilapidated Inn different? Did anything special happen when you were writing it? Are it those bad reviews?" Su Liu asked.
"...not only that. What they said made me feel like a 'toad wanting to eat swan flesh'. Writing you into a novel is blasphemy against you. So, when I wrote this book, I was actually punishing myself." Boss Lou reflected.
If we say that the story of "The Man in the Mirror" hides the fear of sixteen-year-old Qi Fengling towards his stepfather.
Well, "The Dilapidated Hotel" does seem like a masochistic level-breaking game.
"You are a toad. There are no handsome men in the world," Su Liu laughed.
As she was laughing, Su Liu suddenly asked curiously, "You are so good-looking, so no one wants you to film a movie?"
"It happened once when I was 19. I was still in my third year of high school at that time. I said I was busy with school and that person said this kind of thing was easy to solve. Those child stars went through the same thing and I was not an exception. I said no, but he even used threats and inducements to bribe me, saying that as long as I was willing to play the male lead in my book myself, he would give me this amount..." Boss Lou made a gesture.
"Oh, so generous? Is it the money for playing the male lead, or is there some other tacitly agreed value-added service?" Su Liu curled her lips.
"I thought so at the time. There is no free lunch in the world. I know something about that circle. Even if it's a top star, it's impossible to give that number." Boss Lou pursed his lips.
"Then what?" Su Liu asked.
"...I said yes, but I need to call you first. If you agree, I will get ready to debut as the center." A subtle smile appeared on Boss Lou's face.
"Then the other party must be scared to death. He must have gotten up and left immediately, and complained about why you didn't tell them earlier that you were mine, and that they didn't need you, and it was a waste of time, and so on," Su Liu could almost imagine the scene.
Boss Lou hummed, and the smile on his face deepened.
His editor was also present at the time. After hearing what he said, the editor nodded slightly with satisfaction, as if praising his intelligence.
"My career was just starting at that time, and the editor said that even if I felt there was a problem, I should still go for the appointment and take a look. If I turned everything down, I would miss out on some important people. And although the circle is chaotic, most of the time it still emphasizes mutual consent. If the other party does something really excessive, it is not too late for us to seek legal protection," Boss Lou further explained the reason why he discussed cooperation with those people.
"You should avoid places like that if you can. Once you take a shortcut, you'll get addicted." Su Liu didn't really understand the twists and turns in that circle. After all, many of his collaborations were arranged by Qi Fengling's editor. The only time he went to the set to visit the original author was because he admired the author, but the experience was not very good, so he didn't get involved in these things much later.
He remembered that after Qi Fengling's death, it took about half a year for him to truly experience the heartache and loneliness. At that time, his father suddenly called him and said that he had found a blind date for him based on his preferences and asked him to make time to meet her.
She was a female Alpha, pretty and gentle. Her eyes in the photo were full of deep affection, and it seemed that anyone who saw her would feel that she loved someone deeply.
Su Liu hadn't gotten over the incident with Qi Fengling yet, so he refused.
But a few days later, when he went out to relax, he actually ran into her.
She was sunbathing on the beach with her lover and when she saw him passing by, she recognized him immediately.
Su Liu actually didn't recognize her at that time. Her real appearance was not as gentle as in the photo, and her temperament was also strong.
The first person he recognized was her adopted lover.
She was a female artist who was neither very popular in the circle and presented herself as a "strong and independent" girl to the outside world. Unexpectedly, she had a sponsor. Su Liu was shocked at the time, but he was not willing to meddle in other people's affairs to avoid getting into trouble, so he turned around and was about to leave.
But his blind date called him out.
"Su Liu?" She ran up.
Su Liu felt that the other party's voice was unfamiliar, so she did not answer and continued walking forward.
The place he chose this time could not be completely cleared, so he met other people.
"...Su Liu? Why are you ignoring me? You were almost going to be my wife," she ran in front of him and blocked his way.
Su Liu was very surprised and looked at the man carefully.
At this time, the young lover also caught up with him. She took the gold owner's hand and asked, "Who is he?"
The sponsor smiled and said, "My blind date."
The young lover's face darkened and he immediately turned around and left.
The sponsor quickly chased after him.
The two of them were acting out the phrase "I'm angry, you coax me", "Okay, it's okay for me to coax you", not far away.
About two minutes later.
The sponsor seemed a little impatient. She leaned close to her lover's ear, smiled and whispered, "I'll say three."
Then he licked his little lover's ear.
The young lover shed tears and looked at the sponsor with grievance.
The gold owner still had a calm smile on her face. She opened her thin lips and said, "You go back first. I have something to discuss with him."
Afterwards, the young lover was supported by an assistant and taken away.
Su Liu was completely stunned. He felt it was truly despicable. If he were ten years younger, and his father had introduced him to someone like this, he would not only have immediately walked out in anger, but would even have gone home to lecture his father and instigated a fight between his parents, with the excuse: "Dad actually introduced me to this scumbag! He doesn't love me, he's trying to kill me in disguise! Mom, beat him! He's bullying your son because he looks down on you!"
But he won't do that now. He has seen too many things and he knows that this Alpha is a rare talent among the rare talents.
After all, his father said that this man has only had this one little lover for so many years, which is already considered to be deeply in love and long-lasting.
Su Liu was taken to a private restaurant with better privacy, and the two chatted while eating.
Their bodyguards were waiting outside the box.
"Su Liu, how about it, do you want to consider me? Your father said that you don't seem to like children very much. It doesn't matter, I don't care about this kind of thing. We can not have it. I will let my partner give birth to the child for me, and then the child will be registered under your name."
"...You are unexpectedly considerate," Su Liu said coyly.
The female Alpha flicked her hair and was about to come over and put her hand on the back of his chair, but he immediately picked up the teacup on the table and looked like, "If you dare to come near me, I'll pour it on you."
"Su Liu, I really like you," the female Alpha retracted her hand. She obviously noticed Su Liu's little move and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
"I think the girl in your family seems to like you very much. Why don't you give her a name?" Su Liu took the initiative.
"Do you know how many years she has been with me?" The female Alpha looked at Su Liu and smiled slightly. "A full ten years, but she still doesn't know what I'm thinking. For someone like her, I will take care of her for the rest of her life just because of her pretty face. She'd better not think about anything else."
"..." Su Liu lowered his head and drank tea. He usually took the pure love route and really couldn't stand the other party's point of view.
"Only when the prey becomes the hunter can it be qualified to sit at the negotiation table. Otherwise, her show of weakness and love are nothing but begging. There is only interest, no love in an unequal relationship. If she is a little more obedient and recognizes the reality sooner, even if one day I no longer need her, we can still part ways amicably. If she is unreasonable, or even tries to threaten me like some naive little things, I will accompany her to the end, because I am afraid she can't bear it!" The female Alpha said this like a smiling tiger, but she was still light-hearted.
Su Liu hated anyone who played with people's feelings. He said, "Have you really cultivated her seriously? She's so innocent, so beautiful, and yet she's jealous. Isn't it all because she cares about you? If you really like her, you should work hard to be a guiding lover and teach her the ways of the world. In time, she might become a hunter on par with you. Wouldn't that give you a sense of accomplishment?"
"I don't want to. I'm just doing the screening. I don't have time." The female Alpha said without hesitation, "Besides, why should I?"
Su Liu clenched his fists. If he were ten years younger, he might have flipped the table and hit someone, but he still held back. "Since you don't have time, you shouldn't have given her any delusions."
"Did I give it to her, or has she always been loving me in a 'self-indulgent' way?" The female Alpha smiled slightly and suddenly said, "Su Liu, you've never been in love, have you? Your thoughts are like a blank sheet of paper, so fragile and pure. This makes me want to marry you even more."
Su Liu swallowed hard, "Dream on," and said hypocritically, "I'll think about it."
The female Alpha immediately understood his refusal, turned around, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
Then she continued, "You're easily deceived. Talk to them a few more times, and you'll know what kind of Alpha is right for you. Sometimes what you think isn't the same as the reality. Your dad said you like gentle-looking Alphas, but I don't look gentle either. But if I were to deceive you, I could pretend to be even more gentle than a truly gentle person. Do you believe me?"
"Thank you," Su Liu said with a wry smile. He was already very sure that he would never marry her.
Although he doesn't mind others having mistresses, there are three types of people who absolutely cannot do so: his parents and his husband.
At least his parents were controlled by true love, but this Alpha was obviously at a higher level than his parents in terms of emotions, and was very cold-hearted.
He doesn't like it.
"There's one more thing, Su Liu," the female Alpha said again, as if she saw Su Liu was about to leave: "Sometimes, liking you and wanting to hurt you don't conflict."
"Thank you," Su Liu was almost unable to maintain his dignity, and thought to himself: Use your social experience to teach your husband, don't teach me, I only do the screening, not do anything unnecessary.
After returning home, Su Liu became more and more angry. He asked Lao Chen to go to the villa and smash a pair of antique vases that his father had given him, which symbolized love.
He took a photo of the wreckage and sent it to his father.
His father was still laughing and said provocatively: "Why smash a couple? Smash them all. It's not me who can't get married anyway."
He was so angry that he almost ignored everything and called his father's lover.
Now that he thinks about it, it seems that what the other party said is not wrong, but he still doesn't want to agree with it.
He forgave Qi Fengling for deceiving him because Qi Fengling really loved him. If the other party dared to play with his feelings, he would definitely take mad revenge and make Qi Fengling live a life worse than death.
"Su Liu, what's wrong?"
"Su Liu, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so ugly?"
Boss Lou's voice and Pei Yunxiu's voice, who was coming towards him, were spoken one after another.
"Nothing, just a little tired," Su Liu rubbed his aching temples with his free hand.
Anyway, even if he was really deceived by Qi Fengling's gentle personality as the female Alpha predicted, he refused to repent. Until now, he still felt that there was nothing wrong in giving his true heart. Even if Qi Fengling deceived him, the person who was wrong should be Qi Fengling, the liar, and the one who should be criticized should be this liar. He did not deceive anyone and has a clear conscience. Why should he change?
"Recently, some people in the community have been saying that you are the reincarnation of a great immortal, and they have made up a very remarkable story about your background," Pei Yunxiu said.
"I'm definitely not the god they are talking about," he had heard this while having dinner in the school. He just smiled and said nothing.
He is not an emperor chosen by heaven. He has come to where he is today because of his own efforts to change the world and go against fate. The sadness he has experienced is obvious to all. He does not need others to crown him, he is the uncrowned king!
