A. Bai Yueguang Said Nothing And Just Cried For The Substitute B. Chapter 20
byChapter 20: So He Was Courting Someone Else’s Spouse
The Beta before him had an innocent, gentle, and compliant face, yet how had he managed such a precise and sharp retort?
The Omega was stunned for a long time, unsure how to argue back.
Finally, his face flushed crimson with frustration.
“You cursed me? You, an illegitimate child who can’t even show his face, dare to curse me?”
Wēn Sòng’s expression remained unchanged. “Isn’t that exactly what you were trying to say?”
“If you feel I’m cursing you, then fine, you’re terrible at pleasing an Alpha. Is that better?”
The Omega: “…”
He didn’t know why, but hearing the other party’s lukewarm tone made his temper flare intensely.
He was a spoiled young master at home, and being spoken to like this by the “boyfriend” of his crush’s sugar daddy made him drop all pretense of politeness.
“You goddamn…”
Saying this, he immediately reached out and shoved Wēn Sòng, attempting to push him into the swimming pool.
However, Wēn Sòng reacted quickly enough to dodge, causing the Omega to lose his balance and tumble toward the pool instead.
When people encounter danger, they instinctively grab whatever is nearby.
Wēn Sòng tried to step back but was already grabbed by the collar. He stumbled two steps and was dragged into the swimming pool along with the Omega.
“Splash—”
The two adults fell into the water, creating a huge commotion.
This drew the attention of the surrounding people, who quickly gathered.
Just then, Zhào Míngzhuó, Guān Suī, and the others walked over.
Noticing the clothes of the person flailing in the water were extremely familiar, Guān Suī’s heart jolted. His expression darkened, and he immediately jumped into the water.
Duàn Zé was astonished. “Ā Suī!”
Zhào Míngzhuó quickly asked, “What happened?”
An eyewitness said, “It looks like Yè Míng and Wēn Sòng got into an argument, and they both fell into the water.”
Zhào Míngzhuó then realized, belatedly, that Wēn Sòng couldn’t swim. His heart tightened, and he swiftly jumped into the pool as well.
The water in the pool wasn’t very deep.
But Wēn Sòng couldn’t swim at all.
His arms thrashed on the surface, and he involuntarily swallowed several mouthfuls of water.
Water flowed into his nasal cavity and mouth. Holding his breath, the lack of oxygen intensified, and a sense of suffocation washed over him.
“Help…”
The rest of the word couldn’t be uttered.
Just as Wēn Sòng thought the people nearby were merely watching and unwilling to save him, a dark shadow suddenly swam toward him.
He opened his eyes for a closer look; it was Guān Suī.
The next second, the other man extended a strong, powerful arm, wrapping it around his waist and pulling him upward.
Wēn Sòng clung to the other man’s shoulder like a drowning man grasping a lifeline.
Zhào Míngzhuó, who entered the water later, brushed past them.
As they broke the surface, Wēn Sòng gasped for air. His chest and throat burned as if cut by knives, and his lungs felt raw and painful from the lack of oxygen.
He had nearly suffocated from drowning.
His clothes were soaked and clung to his body.
His damp hair plastered against his forehead, his long, thick eyelashes were beaded with water, and his fair complexion, combined with the mole on the tip of his nose, gave him a fragile beauty.
“Come up.”
Guān Suī climbed out first, stood on the bank, bent down, and reached out his hand toward him.
From Wēn Sòng’s perspective, the other man’s black shirt was completely soaked, clinging to his firm abdominal muscles.
Moisture dripped from his high nose bridge, tracing his smooth jawline before falling to the ground.
His usually calm eyes held a hint of anxiety.
Broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with long, straight legs, he exuded the sheer power of an Alpha.
As expected of a Top-Tier Alpha, emerging from the water in clothes didn’t look messy; instead, it enhanced a certain wild, disheveled beauty.
It was both alluring and sexy.
Although Wēn Sòng couldn’t smell his Pheromone, he inexplicably felt a surge of heat.
The Omegas standing in a circle nearby quickly averted their gaze.
Wēn Sòng’s chest rose and fell visibly as he struggled to breathe.
He looked at the hand offered to him, pondered for a second, and placed his hand in the palm. Immediately, the Alpha’s five fingers tightened, making it feel as if they were holding hands.
His heart felt a jolt, like an electric current.
A strange emotion stirred within him.
Before he could figure out what it was, the feeling vanished.
Using the leverage, he stepped onto the nearby stairs and slowly climbed ashore.
In the pool, Zhào Míngzhuó had intended to save Wēn Sòng but was beaten to it. In the end, he could only fish Yè Míng out and bring him back to the bank.
“Xiǎo Sòng, are you alright?”
Zhào Míngzhuó rushed forward to ask as soon as he reached the bank.
Guān Suī picked up a brand-new, unused towel from a nearby table and handed it to Wēn Sòng.
Wēn Sòng thanked him, took the towel, and began wiping the water off his body, replying to Zhào Míngzhuó, “I’m fine.”
Zhào Míngzhuó was distracted by Guān Suī’s action, momentarily stunned, unsure how to react.
Wait, was Guān Suī really such a warm-hearted Alpha?
In his impression, wasn’t the other man supposed to be the “don’t touch me” type?
Just as Zhào Míngzhuó was about to ponder the mystery, Guān Suī spoke coolly, “Take him to change his clothes.”
“It’s cold.”
“He’ll catch a cold.”
Zhào Míngzhuó immediately snapped back to attention and quickly looked at Wēn Sòng, who was drying his hair with the towel. He lowered his voice and said,
“Xiǎo Sòng, let’s go back to the room and change.
“It’s cold now. Wearing wet clothes will make you catch a cold.”
Wēn Sòng put down the towel and nodded. “Okay.”
Before leaving, he looked at Guān Suī, deliberated for a moment, and said, “You should also go change quickly.”
Finally, he added another “thank you” before departing.
As for the Omega, his friends had already taken him away to change, and he dared not cause any more trouble.
Zhào Míngzhuó’s attitude proved everything.
The onlookers gradually dispersed.
Guān Suī stood in place, watching Wēn Sòng’s retreating back.
Suddenly, Duàn Zé, who had been silent, appeared beside him. With his arms crossed, he followed Guān Suī’s gaze.
He saw Wēn Sòng walking side-by-side with Zhào Míngzhuó.
His mind instantly became a complex mess of thoughts.
No wonder.
Everything made sense now.
The reason Guān Suī had asked him about Wēn Sòng back then was because he was interested in him.
He had foolishly thought that a Beta wouldn’t be worthy of a second glance from a Top-Tier Alpha.
And the result?
The clown was himself.
Wait—!
If it was Wēn Sòng, didn’t that mean Guān Suī was trying to steal his friend’s Beta?
And…
His Alpha best friend, who prided himself on his self-control, had just slept with someone else’s spouse?!
The sheer volume of information was so overwhelming that Duàn Zé nearly lost his mind.
It took him a long time to calm down and accept the chaotic fact that his best friend had slept with his other friend’s boyfriend.
Duàn Zé noticed that Wēn Sòng and Zhào Míngzhuó had disappeared through the villa entrance, while Guān Suī, standing next to him, still wore a cold expression, gazing in the direction they left, looking like, “If you won’t take care of your spouse, I will.”
After a long pause, Duàn Zé slowly spoke, his tone strange:
“Ā Suī, when you talked about courting a spouse, it turns out you were courting someone else’s spouse.”
