The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 37

Although Xu Ru’s memory wasn’t particularly good, it wasn’t bad enough for her to forget what her friend said not too long ago.

When she asked if she knew Gu Yu on the phone not too long ago, Song Xinran’s answer was a nonchalant three words: “No impression.”

But now…

She looked at the live stream page where Song Xinran was actively walking toward that cold alpha. Her heart was in a complex state.

Very complex!

At this moment, on the set, Song Xinran had no idea that her every move was being watched by her friend. The crew staff, strictly following Liu Yanxi’s words, tried their best to ignore the camera and worked as usual, which surprisingly didn’t make Song Xinran notice anything unusual.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of netizens, she slightly pursed her lips and looked at Gu Yu.

“I have something… I want to tell you.”

A slight surprise flashed in Gu Yu’s eyes. She glanced in the direction of the camera, intending to remind Miss Song that they were currently live, but Song Xinran misunderstood.

She stared at Gu Yu’s face, her gaze burning, as if two small flames were hidden inside, bright and dazzling. “Are you avoiding my gaze because you don’t want to agree?”

Gu Yu felt a hint of helplessness in her heart from being stared at like that. She had to move her gaze back. She said, “No… let’s go somewhere else.”

No matter what, she had to get Miss Song out of the live stream’s range first.

At this moment, the bullet comments:

“Is it just my imagination? What’s with the hint of doting in Gu Yu’s helpless tone?”

“Who is this omega? I’ve really never seen her before.”

“Hmm, she looks a little familiar, but I can’t remember who she is.”

“When the two of them stand together, hmm, this vibe is… a little good to ship.”

“You guys shouldn’t randomly ship them. She just called someone out to say a few words. How can you ship them based on that?”

“Yeah, I just became a fan of Gu Yu. I’m a wife fan. I’m honestly so frustrated seeing your comments.”

Xu Ru also typed on her phone: “Agreed, don’t randomly ship couples!”

When she typed this, her eyes were firm, and the sound of her fingers typing was full of determination.

Although she also felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange at first, that feeling disappeared after seeing the bullet comments.

That’s right. She just called her out to say a few words. What’s there to ship?

And my friend, I know her too well. She’s been an alpha-hater for so many years. How could she possibly like an alpha? It must be something work-related!

Even though she also wanted Song Xinran to find an alpha to solve her gland problem, at this moment, she felt it was necessary to protect her friend’s reputation against the random speculations of netizens!

While she was typing, Gu Yu and Song Xinran were no longer in the live stream camera’s view.

Gu Yu took Song Xinran to an area outside of the camera’s range and stopped. Unlike the filming area with its light shields and small sheds, here, the sunlight passed through the branches and leaves, leaving small rings of light on the ground.

Gu Yu and Song Xinran stood facing each other in this scattered golden light. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow, lifting their hair.

Gu Yu slightly tilted her head. Her hair, which was half-down, moved like ink with her movement. Her eyes held a light that quietly melted the indifference within them.

She looked at Song Xinran and asked, “Miss Song, what do you want to tell me?”

Song Xinran’s eyes flickered for a moment. She had been avoiding Gu Yu for the past two days, with a complex feeling that she didn’t even understand herself.

She didn’t know if what she felt for Gu Yu was love or the effect of her pheromones.

She had never liked anyone before, so she had no way of knowing.

But the only thing she was sure of was that she wasn’t repulsed by Gu Yu’s proximity. So… she thought she would try to get a little closer to Gu Yu.

Thinking of this, she lifted her face and met Gu Yu’s eyes.

Looking at the only alpha she wasn’t repulsed by, she said awkwardly and tactfully, “Director Liu sent me the photos we took at the viewing pavilion last night. I wanted to ask you, do you have those photos? If not… do you need me to send you a copy?”

She didn’t have Gu Yu’s contact information yet.

••••

In a commercial building, under the scorching sun, the four big words “Xie Group” on top of the building reflected a golden light.

An assistant was holding a stack of documents and was about to walk into the office in the middle of the first floor. When she passed by the work areas outside, two company employees greeted her.

“Assistant Wang, are you going to deliver documents to Young Master Xie again?”

The female beta, known as Assistant Wang, was wearing a professional blue business skirt. She looked capable and calm, with not much emotion on her face. She gave a faint “mm” and said, “Young Master Xie just joined the company, so there are many things he needs to get familiar with.”

“Oh, I see. Assistant Wang, you’ve been working hard.” After the two employees said this sweetly, they watched Assistant Wang’s back disappear around the corner and couldn’t help but lean their heads together and whisper.

“Assistant Wang is so unlucky. She was originally Chairman Xie’s right-hand man, but now she’s been assigned to the new Young Master Xie who just parachuted in.”

The other person couldn’t help but complain, “What do you mean, ‘just joined the company’? It’s been almost half a month, and he still hasn’t familiarized himself with the company’s affairs. Is he really reliable?”

“Yeah, Young Master Xie acts so steady in front of outsiders. When he first came, he completely fooled me. I really thought he was reliable. But one time, I passed by his office, and through the open blinds, I saw him with his feet up on the desk, playing on his phone.”

“Don’t even mention it… I have a friend in the industry who knows a rich second generation. That rich second generation said that Young Master Xie was a real party animal when he was studying abroad a few years ago.”

“Sigh, is it really okay to hand the group over to him?”

“That’s why Chairman Xie rushed to have him come to the company for an internship.”

“Let’s just stop talking about this and get back to work. We don’t want anyone to hear us.”

Inside the Xie Group’s commercial building, the light was too bright.

On one of the middle floors, a figure was standing with his back to a large floor-to-ceiling window. The noon sun was blinding, and the curtains in the office were half-drawn.

The figure was sitting in the shade, holding a phone and talking to someone.

“Young Master Xie, it’s been a long time. How are you doing at the company?” The person on the phone spoke in a frivolous tone. Only his old party friends would call him “Young Master Xie” now. In the company, everyone he met respectfully called him “Young Master Xie.”

Xie Yuanjing twirled a pen with his fingers, a lazy smile on his lips. There was no sign of the elegant and talented person he was at the banquet not long ago.

He said, “What do you mean, ‘how’? It’s… boring. But what about you? Why are you suddenly calling me?”

He knew that ever since he started his internship at the company, his father had sent people to keep a close eye on him to prevent him from going out and messing around again. As time went on, his old drinking buddies rarely called him, so their contact naturally decreased.

Hearing Xie Yuanjing’s words, the person on the other end of the phone let out a short laugh. “It’s because I found something interesting. My first thought was you, brother. I remember you’ve been chasing that omega from the Song family for a long time, right?”

Xie Yuanjing frowned and said, “Why are you suddenly bringing this up?” He was a little displeased. Many people in the upper circles knew about his constant pursuit of Song Xinran and his constant rejection. Xie Yuanjing, who always cared about his reputation, never liked it when people brought this up.

He tried to save face and added, “You know, Xinran doesn’t like being around alphas. She’s not easy to chase, which is why she keeps rejecting me. But who can blame me for liking her?”

Thinking of Song Xinran’s flamboyant beauty and her beautiful figure, Xie Yuanjing’s eyes darkened, and he couldn’t help but lick the corner of his lips.

The other person was like a proud rose. If he tried to pluck it, he would get hurt, but that also gave him a sense of conquest.

Not to mention the benefits that the Song family behind her could bring.

“Is that so?” The person on the phone laughed maliciously. He said, “Then do you know that this young lady of the Song family is currently on the set of Path of Immortals?”

“On the set?” Xie Yuanjing was stunned. He hadn’t been checking up on Song Xinran’s news recently because his father was pressuring him, but he did know about the drama. “It’s the one that Xingchen Entertainment invested in, right?”

The main reason he was paying attention was that this drama was directed by Song Xinran’s aunt.

The person on the phone said, “The Path of Immortals crew is live streaming today. I saw something interesting. I recorded it and sent it to you.”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yuanjing’s phone rang with a “ding-dong.”

“I’ll talk to you later. Remember to watch the video I sent you.”

After he said that, he hung up the phone.

Xie Yuanjing frowned, not knowing what he was up to, but he still opened the video.

The more he watched, the more his expression soured.

In the first few seconds, the person he had just said “doesn’t like being near alphas” was actively walking toward a certain alpha. The alpha and the omega stood together, looking incredibly compatible.

Xie Yuanjing felt a burning sensation on his face, as if an invisible hand had slapped him hard across the face.

He finally understood the intention of that phone call. The person just wanted to make fun of him!

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the alpha with malice. Only he knew the thoughts that were swirling in his mind.

“Knock, knock—”

While he was annoyed, there was a knock on the office door.

Xie Yuanjing let out a deep breath and said, “Come in.”

The silver-white office door opened, and Assistant Wang’s professional face appeared at the door. “Young Master Xie, these are the latest reports.”

Xie Yuanjing looked away from his phone screen and glanced at the documents in her hand. He frowned and said, “Why are there so many?”

Assistant Wang stood next to him and handed him the documents without replying.

Xie Yuanjing took them and casually tossed them onto the desk. The paper documents slid smoothly, fanning out in an irregular shape.

He waved his hand and said, “You can go now. I’ll read them later.”

“Oh, right. I don’t think I have any work tomorrow and the day after, but even if I do, cancel it for now. I’m going out of town.”

Assistant Wang looked at the desk and then at Xie Yuanjing. Her face was stiff and expressionless. She had only one thought in her mind.

—The Xie Group is probably doomed.
