Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 25

Fang Ling got up, ready to go back to the dining room, and upon hearing him, she frowned and asked Wang Yixi, “What ‘what’?”

Before Wang Yixi could speak, Lu Chen had already looked at Xia Jinuo and asked for him, “Were the sweet and sour pork and those other dishes all made by you?”

Xia Jinuo nodded and sighed, “Yes, unfortunately, being delicious is useless. I still have to clean the table. I really won’t cook tomorrow.”

“No!” Wang Yixi stood up and strode over to Xia Jinuo, his face constantly changing. He gritted his teeth, the muscles in his cheeks twitching a few times as if making a major decision, and reluctantly said, “You cook, I’ll clean the table.”

He had never done table cleaning, something only a nanny would do. If it weren’t for Xia Jinuo, this scheming Alpha, threatening him with her cooking, he would never have agreed.

Xia Jinuo glanced at the other Alphas, seeing them calmly watch the drama unfold. She kindly reminded Wang Yixi, “I’m not just cooking for you. Isn’t it a bit unfair if only you clean the table?”

Wang Yixi paused, finally realizing this wasn’t just his problem. He immediately turned to consult with the other Alphas. The five Alphas gathered, their faces serious, as if they were in an important business negotiation.

Having achieved her goal, Xia Jinuo looked up with a smile and met Jiang Li’s concerned gaze. She quickly walked over, surprised, and sat down beside her. Throughout, Jiang Li’s gaze followed Xia Jinuo until she confirmed Xia Jinuo was indeed coming to her. Only then did Jiang Li primly withdraw her gaze and continue watching the evening news.

Xia Jinuo whispered, “You don’t have to clean up.”

“But I also want to keep eating your cooking,” Jiang Li said lazily, propping her chin.

“Even if you don’t do anything, I’m willing to cook for you.”

Jiang Li’s heart skipped a beat, then she heard Xia Jinuo continue, “Alphas are different. They’re all my competitors. If they want to eat my cooking, of course, there has to be fair exchange.”

“What about Xu Chuyue then?” Jiang Li couldn’t help but ask.

At this moment, the five scumbag Alphas had finished their discussion. Without being asked, Wang Yixi proudly announced the result, “Starting today, Lu Chen, Du Qiuxin, Xie Mu, and I will take turns cleaning the table.”

“Why isn’t President Xu included?” Han Wutong asked curiously, “Does President Xu not like Ji Jinuo’s cooking?”

“Then President Xu must have a very picky palate,” Luo Wei remarked.

Du Qiuxin smiled, “President Xu has money power. We’ll take turns doing it for her.”

Jiang Li’s hand tightened on her knee. She lowered her gaze and asked Xia Jinuo beside her, “Did you already figure this out?”

“Figure out what?” Xia Jinuo hadn’t expected Xu Chuyue’s influence to start showing on the first day of the dating variety show. No wonder her later proposals were met with such overwhelming support, making the other four scumbag Alphas willingly cooperate fully.

But she’s already so powerful, she shouldn’t need to share Jiang Li with others, right? Could Xu Chuyue actually have a cuckolding fetish?

Jiang Li looked up and saw Xia Jinuo staring at Xu Chuyue, her gaze focused and serious. She said coolly, “Nothing.”

The next day, the guests gathered in the lobby at 9 AM. Xia Jinuo was used to waking up early. She went downstairs at 7:30 AM, ran a few laps outside, and returned feeling refreshed. Seeing some dried noodles in the kitchen, she casually cooked a pot of plain vegetable noodles. After eating, she went for a few more turns outside. By the time she returned, it was 8:30 AM. She greeted the weary-looking guests. They responded sparsely, clearly not fully awake, only getting up grudgingly because they were filming.

“What would you like for breakfast? I’ll make it for you before I shower,” Xia Jinuo asked.

Du Qiuxin, who had been half-asleep and groggy, immediately woke up, “Anything! As long as it’s made by you!”

Luo Wei felt a bit embarrassed, “Won’t it be too much trouble for you, making so much so early in the morning?”

Xia Jinuo smiled, “The noodles I just cooked for myself were simple and delicious. Making this isn’t troublesome, it just depends if you want to eat them.”

Even the chef herself said the food was delicious. Even if the name didn’t sound appealing, no one would refuse.

“It’s my turn to clean the table today, Ji Jinuo. Thank you for the trouble,” Xie Mu said.

“No trouble at all. I don’t like cleaning, so we’re helping each other out.”

After ten minutes, Xia Jinuo had cooked nine servings of noodles. She didn’t bother with how they divided them and went back to her room to shower.

Steam covered the mirror with a mist. Xia Jinuo wiped it clean with her hand and carefully examined her face and body.

Her cheeks were still too thin, but compared to yesterday, they seemed a little plumper.

She touched her stomach and her almost nonexistent chest. It was hard to gain weight on her body, and this area was especially difficult.

In her original world, even if Xia Jinuo wasn’t this tall or thin, she still had no fat on her chest. She envied girls with large breasts, thinking they looked good in anything, at least they could fill out clothes and not look empty.

Otherwise, why would Jiang Li be called a goddess? Not only was her face beautiful, but her figure was also curvaceous; there was no imperfection on her entire body.

That’s why Xia Jinuo particularly couldn’t understand why the author would be so cruel as to allow a perfect Omega like Jiang Li to be imprisoned and tormented by five scumbag Alphas.

After showering and changing, it was almost time for the group to gather when Xia Jinuo came out of her room. Across the hall, Wang Yixi also emerged from his bedroom at that moment.

Yawning widely, Wang Yixi wiped away the tears that had welled up in his eyes. He saw Xia Jinuo in front of him and displayed a complex expression, a mix of shock, disgust, and alarm. He immediately stepped back, wishing he could be eight feet away from Xia Jinuo.

“Why are you always coming out with me? Are you secretly watching me? I’m telling you, Ji Jinuo, I don’t like Alphas at all, and I’m not getting involved in an AA relationship with you!”

Xia Jinuo: “…Oh, I see.”

It was early in the morning, and Wang Yixi was already acting crazy right after waking up.

Xia Jinuo had no intention of extending this boring topic. Forget an AA relationship, she didn’t want any kind of relationship.

Xia Jinuo pulled open the suite door. Wang Yixi reached out, pushed it, and “bang!” shut the door again. “You don’t know!”

Xia Jinuo: “?”

Xia Jinuo’s innocent gaze made Wang Yixi even more agitated, “If you really knew, you wouldn’t have deliberately helped me so many times in front of the live camera yesterday. You have no idea how many people are shipping the XiJi CP’s AA relationship right now!”

What Wang Yixi found most unacceptable was that in his and Xia Jinuo’s CP, Xia Jinuo was actually the “top.” The CP fans said they were a gentle, housewifely top X a grumpy, obnoxious bottom.

Wang Yixi was so angry that he spent half the night arguing with people on Weibo and didn’t fall asleep until 3 AM.

“I don’t know anything about the XiJi CP, and I’m not interested in an AA relationship. If you don’t like my help, I’ll try to ignore you from now on,” Xia Jinuo frowned slightly, pushed Wang Yixi aside, pulled open the door, and walked out of the suite.

Wang Yixi stared at Xia Jinuo’s back. He was so surprised by Xia Jinuo’s strength that he actually forgot to chase after her and continue arguing.

Xia Jinuo arrived at the ground floor lobby. The guests in the living room had just finished eating the delicious egg and vegetable noodles. Seeing Xia Jinuo, they enthusiastically greeted her.

“Ji Jinuo, you’re here!”

“Ji Jinuo, thank you for cooking for us!”

“Ji Jinuo, you’re even prettier today!”

“Ji Jinuo…”

Everyone present was an adult. They knew that when you eat someone’s food, you speak softly, and they also knew that to continue getting what you wanted from someone, it was best to be sweet-mouthed. For a while, the living room was filled with compliments and praise for Xia Jinuo.

Xia Jinuo’s slightly depressed mood, caused by Wang Yixi’s antics, was soothed. Her smile was as bright as ever, “As long as you like it. I was afraid it might be too simple for your tastes.”

“Great simplicity is profound complexity. You’re returning to simplicity. Even a five-star hotel chef isn’t as good as you,” Lu Chen said, adjusting his glasses.

Xia Jinuo believed this statement. These privileged individuals had eaten countless dishes made by five-star hotel chefs since childhood. For her cooking to elicit such a strong reaction from them, it must not only be better than five-star hotel chefs’ food but significantly better.

Xia Jinuo found a seat away from the crowd and pondered her future attitude towards Wang Yixi.

Her original idea was to befriend these scumbag Alphas, ensure her own safety, and then find a way to save Jiang Li. Now, because someone online was shipping some “XiJi CP,” Wang Yixi was extremely resistant to her. This showed that she shouldn’t be too nice to scumbag Alphas. After all, scumbag Alphas’ thought processes were different from normal people, especially ungrateful Alphas like Wang Yixi. Xia Jinuo should be careful to maintain her distance and keep a clear boundary with him.

Wang Yixi’s incident served as a warning to Xia Jinuo. Even if she suspected Wang Yixi might hold leverage over other scumbag Alphas, she shouldn’t rush.

Thankfully, it was only the second day of the dating variety show’s filming, so she could still cut her losses in time.

“Are you okay?” A familiar, languid voice sounded beside her ear. Xia Jinuo turned and saw Jiang Li, surprised, “I’m perfectly fine. Nothing’s wrong.”

When she sat down, there was clearly no one to her right. When did Jiang Li get here?

“I thought you were in a bad mood,” Jiang Li looked out the window, her lips barely moving, her voice only audible to Xia Jinuo.

Xia Jinuo was truly surprised this time, “You can tell?”

“Mhm, I can tell. Ji Jinuo, don’t look at me, look anywhere else,” Jiang Li said.

Xia Jinuo, due to her surprise, forgot about maintaining distance from Jiang Li in front of the scumbag Alphas. Hearing Jiang Li’s words, she immediately and naturally shifted her gaze, also speaking to her without moving her lips, mimicking Jiang Li, “Why are you talking to me like this?”

She kept her distance from Jiang Li to avoid being targeted by the five scumbag Alphas. But why was Jiang Li doing it?

Jiang Li, however, didn’t explain directly. Her voice gained a hint of cold gloom, “You’ll know later. You’ll be safer if you stay away from me.”

Xia Jinuo’s heart pounded: “?!” What did Jiang Li mean by that? Did she know what the scumbag Alphas would do?
