The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 58

“L-like?” Xu Ru was a little incoherent, not believing it in her heart. “Impossible. Ranran hates alphas. Don’t let her hear you say that, she’ll get an…”

Before her voice could fully fade, she watched with wide eyes as her friend, who had been frowning not long ago, quietly softened her features. Her eyes held a trace of a smile, and the light reflected in her eyes like scattered starlight.

Xu Ru’s volume of rebuttal got smaller and smaller, until she was finally too surprised to speak.

“Ranran, she, she…”

Ranran seemed to treat that alpha very differently.

At this moment, Song Xinran was unaware of the turbulent waves in Xu Ru’s heart. She almost impatiently strode forward, moving closer to Gu Yu.

She and Gu Yu hadn’t seen each other for about five days.

Gu Yu had clearly seen her too. The moment her gaze met Song Xinran’s, her heart quietly skipped a beat.

Miss Song tonight was like a blooming, gorgeous Diana rose, so beautiful that she could easily make people lose their minds.

The banquet hall was lively, and many people noticed the area they were in, their gazes drifting over. Song Xinran’s footsteps paused, then slowed down, making herself appear less eager. She walked to Gu Yu with reserve and said, “You’re here.”

After saying that, she awkwardly added, “You look very good in that outfit tonight.”

Gu Yu was startled. Her lips curved slightly, and the inherent aloofness in her eyes dissipated a great deal. She said, “Thank you.”

She reached out, offering a beautifully wrapped gift box, and said, “Miss Song, happy birthday. I wish you happiness and eternal safety.”

Although she didn’t understand why Gu Yu added the last sentence, Song Xinran was very happy. She subtly pressed her lips together, controlling the urge for her smile to widen, and reached out to accept it: “Mhm.”

The gift box was small. Their fingertips touched, a fleeting contact, but it sent ripples through Song Xinran’s heart, which trembled slightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

“Which family’s alpha is that? I’ve never seen her before.”

“She’s so beautiful.”

“What’s her relationship with the young mistress of the Song family?”

Even Liu Qian couldn’t control her gaze, looking straight over, filled with curiosity. After observing for a while, she suddenly tilted her head and whispered into Xu Ru’s ear, like sharing a secret: “That alpha also seems to be interested in Sister Xinran.”

Xu Ru’s expression was complicated: “I still don’t think your guess is very reliable.”

Liu Qian smiled cunningly: “Reliable or not, why don’t we just ask her later?”

The thoughts of everyone present varied, but they all maintained smiles and politeness on the surface, concealing what they were thinking. Only the alpha who had been left speechless by Song Xinran earlier looked sullen, with obvious displeasure written all over his face.

Undeniably, what Song Xinran had said earlier had practically pressed his dignity into the ground and trampled on it. He was filled with frustration.

Beside him, the cute omega who had brought him noticed his unpleasant expression and quietly distanced herself from him.

I must talk to my father properly when I get back. Even if her family’s business was far from the size of the Song family’s, they shouldn’t introduce her to an alpha like this. If it really came down to it, even if she wasn’t interested in business, she would rather work hard to inherit the family business herself later.

The male alpha, still immersed in his own world, was completely unaware of her inner thoughts and didn’t notice her subtle distancing action.

He suddenly thought of something, immediately picked up his phone, and sent a message: “Cousin, come quickly. Song Xinran is with another alpha.”

“Someone is trying to steal your prize.”

After typing, he felt it wasn’t enough and secretly took a photo.

The warm-toned streetlights of the city rapidly flashed past. Xie Yuanjing sat in the back seat of the car. The light on his face was flickering, making his face look particularly gloomy. He looked at his phone.

On the illuminated phone screen was a photo: the exceptionally beautiful omega and the equally outstanding alpha standing together. Song Xinran had softened her features, and the alpha opposite her was someone he recognized all too well.

Gu Yu—

Xie Yuanjing gritted his teeth, fiercely calling out that name in his heart. The commoner alpha he used to disdain to even look at now dared to compete with him for a person.

After returning to the capital from the set last time, he was scolded by the old man. To make him behave, his bank cards were immediately frozen. It seemed his father was determined to make him stay obediently at the company.

With his bank cards frozen, some of his planned actions against Gu Yu had to be temporarily suspended. He had to use his remaining small stash to hire a small group of trolls, and he even got involved himself using a fake account.

The result was that he was mocked by Gu Yu’s beauty fans. As a member of the Xie family, when had Xie Yuanjing ever endured such humiliation, except from Song Xinran?

Now, looking at the photo, old and new grudges immediately surged up.

He tapped on the chat box with a purely grey avatar and typed: Is what I asked you to investigate true? Is Song Xinran’s heat period really in the next couple of days?

The other side quickly replied: Young Master Xie, don’t worry. Even if it’s not these two days, it’s not far off. In this line of work, the most important thing is honesty and reliability.

Only then did Xie Yuanjing relax a little. This person was a high-end private investigator he had hired, specifically responsible for investigating the hidden secrets of wealthy families. The price was high, but thankfully he paid before his bank cards were frozen.

He pressed hard on the side of his phone, and the screen instantly turned off. The scenery outside the window constantly receded. In the view ahead, skyscrapers stood tall and brilliantly lit. That was the five-star hotel where Song Xinran’s birthday banquet was being held.

The car happened to drive through a patch of shadow, and the light inside the car suddenly dimmed, making his figure blurry and indistinct.

No one saw the determined look in his eyes at this moment.

Song Xinran, you’re so arrogant towards me. He’s just waiting for Song Xinran to fawn over him after tonight, crying and begging for his pheromones.

The entire birthday banquet proceeded smoothly. Even if some people were curious about the relationship between Song Xinran and Gu Yu, they wouldn’t say anything openly.

However, everyone at the banquet also knew that Young Master Xie Yuanjing had been pursuing Song Xinran for years.

As for what they might say about it behind closed doors, that was unknown.

It was worth mentioning that many omegas at the birthday banquet were secretly looking at Gu Yu, with a mix of astonishment and curiosity.

The birthday banquet was drawing to a close. As the birthday person, Song Xinran had drunk some wine and was slightly tipsy, but her mind was still relatively clear.

The cake cutting was the last part of the formal process. After eating the cake, the liveliest part was over. The guests would now entertain themselves, and the birthday person’s presence wasn’t strictly necessary anymore.

The air inside was too stuffy. Various pheromones were drifting unconsciously in the air, making Song Xinran feel faintly nauseous, and her gland felt a little uncomfortable.

Through the white lace choker, she pressed her fingertips against her gland. It felt a little hot, but it wasn’t at the point of going into heat yet.

She looked around and didn’t see Gu Yu. She said to Xu Ru next to her, “Ru Ru, I need to go outside for some fresh air.”

Xu Ru asked, “Do you want me to come with you?”

“No need. I’ll just get some air on the terrace.” Song Xinran shook her head. She wasn’t seriously unwell and didn’t want to trouble her friend or make her accommodate her.

Xu Ru glanced at her. Seeing no obvious signs of being drunk, she felt relieved and didn’t insist. She said, “Alright, go ahead.”

Song Xinran gave a soft “Mhm” and walked toward the terrace. When she arrived, she found that someone was already there, seemingly a young couple, who were kissing passionately against the railing.

Song Xinran frowned and immediately lost the desire to go there. Thinking that there was an outdoor lawn outside the banquet hall on this floor where she could also get fresh air, she turned and left.

Behind her, Xie Yuanjing’s eyes flickered as he watched her leaving figure, and he followed her.

Gu Yu was a little anxious as she rushed to Miss Song’s side and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?”

Noticing the worry in Gu Yu’s eyes, Song Xinran couldn’t help but let a small smile curve her lips.

“I’m fine.”

Behind them, Xie Yuanjing saw the peaceful scene and the ruthlessness in his eyes was so thick it was almost dripping.

The entire birthday banquet went very smoothly. Even if some people were very curious about the relationship between Song Xinran and Gu Yu, they wouldn’t say anything about it openly.

However, the fact that Young Master Xie Yuanjing had pursued Song Xinran for many years was also known to the people at the banquet.

As for whether they would say anything about it behind their backs, that was unknown.

It’s worth mentioning that many omegas at the birthday banquet were secretly looking at Gu Yu, with both admiration and curiosity.

The birthday banquet was coming to an end. As the birthday person, Song Xinran had some wine and was now slightly tipsy, but her mind was still relatively clear.

The cake-cutting process was left until last. After eating the cake, the liveliest part was over. The guests would now entertain themselves, and the birthday person’s presence wasn’t strictly necessary anymore.

The air inside was too stuffy. Various pheromones were unconsciously drifting in the air, making Song Xinran feel faintly nauseous, and her gland felt a little uncomfortable.
