The Matrilocal Alpha and the Cold Actress Sweetly Explode on a Romance Variety Show (GL) - Chapter 4

The intimacy of that night left a deep impression on both of them.

Holding eye contact for more than a second made them both feel flushed.

To prevent losing composure, they quickly averted their gaze.

Thanks to Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu’s direct response to the situation, handling all of the reporters’ tricky questions and answering with great synchronicity, the lengthy interview finally ended, and all the media outlets were dispersed.

Zhou Sisi breathed a deep sigh of relief, thinking the media hurdle was finally cleared. However, she immediately remembered Song Hanyue, the hot potato still in the hotel.

Once the reporters were gone, Shen Tangxi called the Song family to send someone to escort Song Hanyue away.

She refused to believe the Song family would be unaware after such a major incident.

The Song family had recently suffered business losses and was plotting a marriage alliance. This act was deliberately carried out, and it was also deliberate indulgence of Song Hanyue’s malicious and despicable behavior.

Shen Tangxi would not let this matter go, but it was unsuitable to deal with it openly, as it would harm her public image. However, the Shen family would step in later to teach the Song family a harsh lesson. They must pay the price for this.

Before long, the Song family, knowing they were in the wrong, sheepishly sent someone to take the still-flailing, but recently-awakened, Song Hanyue back home.

When Song Hanyue first woke up, she didn’t know what had happened. She had planned everything perfectly last night, just waiting for the deed with Shen Tangxi to be done.

Instead, she was suddenly struck on the back of the head and then lost consciousness.

Judging by the circumstances, even a fool could figure out that she had failed completely, and the matter of switching the pheromone inhibitor had been exposed. Shen Tangxi must now know that she had designed the whole thing.

Song Hanyue was very flustered. She was terrified of being exposed, so her first thought was to go to Shen Tangxi and explain that it was all a misunderstanding. However, before she could do so, the Song family’s butler arrived to take her back.

“Miss, quickly check the online news headlines. Miss Shen announced her unmarried partner this morning.”

At these words, Song Hanyue’s mind boomed. Trembling, she picked up her phone and clicked on the trending topic.

A blazing red title instantly appeared:

#ShenTangxiPubliclyAnnouncesUnmarriedPartner#

#ShenFamilyZhuiAYuXingyu#

Song Hanyue stared at the titles in disbelief. She couldn’t understand how, after just one day, Shen Tangxi had announced an unmarried partner. Where did this Yu Xingyu come from? What kind of person was she?

Intense gloom flashed in her eyes, mixed with strong unwillingness. She had been so close to success last night.

Just a little bit more, and she would have made the marriage with Shen Tangxi a fait accompli. She could have married into the Shen family. Once Shen Tangxi was fully marked, she would have been completely at Song Hanyue’s mercy.

Last night, she had used the compromised inhibitor. Where did things go wrong? Could it be that some unknown Alpha got a cheap shot?

Song Hanyue’s heart suddenly seized. She picked up her phone and searched online for the identity information of Shen Tangxi’s newly announced Matrilocal Alpha fiancé.

The efficiency of netizens was incredibly high.

Less than an hour after Shen Tangxi’s public announcement to the reporters, Yu Xingyu’s identity was completely exposed.

Netizens were shocked that Yu Xingyu was an ungraduated university student who currently worked part-time as a waitress at the five-star hotel where the reporters were staking out.

The Alpha’s parents had died early, leaving behind tens of millions in debt. Her family background was worse than that of an average person; her massive debt was a huge liability.

Conditions like these would be ignored even in ordinary blind date circles, yet Shen Tangxi, a chosen daughter of the heavens, had taken her in as a Zhui A.

Netizens were furious. Although the final announcement differed from the initial online rumor about Song Hanyue, the person had merely changed. While Yu Xingyu didn’t have the notorious reputation of the spoiled brat Song Hanyue, her status was too low. It was hard to imagine such a person being linked to Shen Tangxi. The two were clearly from different worlds.

[Good news: The romance isn’t with Song Hanyue. Bad news: The romance is with an Alpha who’s deep in debt.]

[Even though Xibao told the media she doesn’t care about differences in status, the gap is too huge! Plus, the other person owes so much debt, they’re clearly going to be a sugar baby.]

[What luck did Yu Xingyu have to catch Shen Tangxi’s eye? I absolutely can’t accept this (Why isn’t it me marrying in?).]

[This Zhui A is not only unworthy of Shen Tangxi, she’s not even qualified to be her assistant. The status gap is too vast. I’m worried she’s trying to scheme for the Shen family’s assets.]

[Wuwuwu, who cares if Xibao likes her? No matter what, I just pray Xibao gets a proper prenuptial agreement. She must be cautious about marriage.]

[Looking at the photos, I can tell she’s a calculating Alpha. To manipulate her way into marrying the Shen family’s daughter—she’s too cunning.]

[Am I the only one who thinks the announcement photo is super sweet? The kiss feels lingering and passionate even through the screen! They look so compatible, and I have to admit, this Alpha is quite pretty.]

[If she weren’t good-looking, how could she marry into a wealthy family? She’s just a good-looking Alpha living off her partner.]

Yu Xingyu picked up her phone and scrolled through the comments about herself, seeing tens of thousands of hateful comments appear after just a short refresh.

Her pretty, delicate eyes were slightly red-rimmed, and her expression was wronged and downcast.

She found it hard to understand why there was so much malice online. People were attacking a stranger with many vicious words.

Yu Xingyu’s state was obvious. She was like a wilted small rose, completely unable to be happy.

Shen Tangxi quickly noticed Yu Xingyu’s unhappiness.

Yu Xingyu’s voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to hold back her grievance.

“Sister, did I do something wrong? But all that debt isn’t my fault. Just because I owe so much debt, I was born inferior, and I have to suffer people’s contempt. Why is that?”

By this time, Shen Tangxi had already completed her investigation of Yu Xingyu’s detailed information.

The findings made her feel sorry for her. Yu Xingyu was orphaned, had a tragic past, and was left alone to repay the debt, having to carefully hide from creditors and live a very difficult life.

Despite being a student, she diligently took many part-time jobs. She knew they were just a drop in the bucket for the debt, but she still worked hard to a heartbreaking degree.

Moreover, Yu Xingyu had excellent grades, outstanding character, and a very good reputation at school.

She could be described as an Alpha with a clean record, a beautiful appearance, and excellent genetics. The huge debt was only due to her father’s business bankruptcy, not her responsibility, and she hadn’t shied away from it but was trying her best to repay it. Therefore, Yu Xingyu was not wrong at all. She was actually more responsible than most people. Anyone else would have buckled under such immense pressure.

Besides, Yu Xingyu’s debt was not an issue in Shen Tangxi’s eyes.

Any one of her properties was worth more than that. She could easily help her pay it off.

Since Yu Xingyu was marrying into the Shen family, she wouldn’t have to worry about financial problems anymore.

Shen Tangxi’s cold eyes, with pupils as deep as the night sky, blinked, and she comforted her softly.

“You did nothing wrong. This is not your problem. The comments online are messy and chaotic. Later, the Shen family will send out lawyer letters warning them to stop spreading rumors. But don’t pay attention to those comments. You only need to know that I don’t care. You don’t need to care about anyone else’s opinion. You are my Zhui A, and having only me in your Alpha’s line of sight is enough.”

Yu Xingyu obediently nodded, her eyes glistening and looking particularly cute and moist.

“Sister, I’ll listen to whatever you say.”

Shen Tangxi looked at the so-obedient Yu Xingyu and felt like something was slightly off. The rose vine feature that Yu Xingyu differentiated was definitely not well-behaved.

Recalling that night, she felt that the vine was very cunning, constantly entwining her all night, exhausting her even when she left.

But Yu Xingyu looked so compliant that it didn’t seem right to generalize.

Shen Tangxi dismissed the thought, suddenly remembering the investigation showed Yu Xingyu previously lived in a cheap rental to facilitate her part-time jobs.

The people she sent took photos, and the living environment was truly awful—it was hard to imagine anyone could live there.

She couldn’t imagine how Yu Xingyu survived.

But now that she was the Shen family’s Zhui A, she should say goodbye to her former life.

Shen Tangxi had her assistant arrange a driver, and they took the team to a high-end mall owned by the Shen family, clearing the entire building for Yu Xingyu to select clothes.

In the future, she might accompany her to important public events. As the Shen family’s Zhui A, her attire couldn’t be too simple, or it would embarrass the Shen family.

This was Yu Xingyu’s first time riding in such a luxurious car and entering such a magnificent shopping mall.

With her former spending power, she probably wouldn’t have had the chance to come here in a lifetime. Now, it felt like a dream.

Shen Tangxi took Yu Xingyu to several recognizable luxury brand stores, allowing her to pick freely.

She sat lazily to the side, waving her hand and telling Yu Xingyu to choose whatever she liked.

Her work was supposed to be busy, but the public uproar had unexpectedly cleared her schedule.

Due to the relationship controversy, some endorsements and advertisement resources were affected. While it wouldn’t be a major issue, all announcements were temporarily paused to avoid the public storm.

Shen Tangxi thus had time to accompany Yu Xingyu in choosing clothes.

Yu Xingyu picked up a little black spaghetti-strap dress and showed it to Shen Tangxi, wiggling it slightly.

“Sister, does this look good? Do you like me wearing this?”

Shen Tangxi looked up. The dress was entirely cut out and very short. Yu Xingyu had a tall figure, and if she wore it, it would expose her entire thighs, emphasizing her sexiness.

Her throat felt scratchy.

Her elegant voice seemed to carry a hint of asceticism, and her white tea pheromones began to subtly act up.

The Omega’s voice sounded faintly pink.

“Put it on for me to see.”

Yu Xingyu’s cheeks flushed, and she took the dress into the changing room. Although she was so obedient and well-behaved, the Omega began to feel a little impatient.

Shen Tangxi felt that Yu Xingyu was alluring. Even though she wasn’t doing anything, she made her heart itch with longing.

Suddenly.

From inside the changing room.

Yu Xingyu’s soft voice called out:

“Sister, I can’t reach the zipper on the dress. Can you come in and help me?”
