It Came Again!

It Came Again!

Lin Su stared blankly at the little red booklet in his hand. He, a minor cannon fodder character, had gotten a marriage certificate with the domineering CEO male lead!

On the marriage certificate, one of the two men looked cold and unsmiling, while the other was gentle, with a brilliant smile at the corners of his lips.

It was a professional smile. He was not looking forward to this at all! Just thinking of the clerk's sympathetic gaze still gave him goosebumps.

[It's just taking what we each need. Once the female lead appears, I'll automatically bow out!]

He fell into deep thought. That was easy to say, but the world was so vast—where was he supposed to find an Alpha with such an extremely high compatibility rate?

[Are there even any Alphas in this world with compatibility over 100%? Now that I think about it, this deal seems like a loss. Once the male lead solves his current problem, a female lead will fall from the heavens.]

[What am I supposed to do? Can a minor cannon fodder character really have such good luck?]

Perhaps he should...

[Cut out my gland! End it once and for all.]

"Cough, cough." Gu Lin choked and coughed aloud.

Lin Su asked with concern, "President Gu, are you all right?"

[How could he choke just from drinking water? If the female lead were here, would she rush over, throw herself into his arms, and tenderly wipe him off?]

"I'm fine," Gu Lin said calmly, his gaze casually sweeping over his assistant's face.

After returning home a few days ago, he had thought about it for a long time and reached a conclusion: Assistant Lin knew the secrets of this world, and he knew what Assistant Lin was thinking.

Gu Lin looked out the car window and fell into thought. The hotel surveillance footage had been delivered to him immediately.

A woman had entered the room where he was supposed to stay. He detested such filthy, underhanded tricks the most.

It was hard to imagine—if Assistant Lin had not blocked that drink for him, would he have ended up with another woman?

Of course not. Gu Lin had absolute confidence in his self-control. Thinking of this, he let out a cold laugh. Naturally, all of this was thanks to the old master of the Gu Household, who had once held a position of great power.

[Hiss, that smile is terrifying. I heard domineering CEOs all have psychological and physiological problems in private...]

Thinking of that night, a certain part of him tightened. Scary, scary—he could not afford to provoke him!

[I should still cut out my gland!]

The sharp crease between Gu Lin's brows relaxed. Through the reflection in the car window, Assistant Lin was sitting properly, his exquisite face soft and gentle.

It was hard to imagine that someone with such a mild and delicate appearance had such a rich inner world.

Gu Lin found himself looking forward to life ahead.

"How's the packing going?"

He had read Lin Su's file. He had no parents and had grown up in an orphanage. Since his sophomore year, he had supported himself with part-time work and lived alone in a rented apartment.

[Wuwuwu, I regret this. I don't want to go.]

A gentle smile hung on his face, and his voice was soft. "It's mostly packed."

[The domineering CEO has spoken. How could I disobey? I have to do it even if I have to force myself.]

Gu Lin raised a brow and said with elegant ease, "The room has been prepared. Move in tonight."

[What the hell! Does he want to work me to death with all that stuff? Even hotel salespeople at train stations aren't as diligent as you!]

Gu Lin coughed lightly and glanced at the person beside him. "I'll have someone move your things. Just come back with me."

"Okay." He lowered his eyes obediently, his tone calm. "Thank you, President Gu."

[Sure enough, being overbearing and domineering is standard equipment for a domineering CEO. Wuwuwu, I'm just a minor cannon fodder character. What else can I do but go along with it?]

The man staring blankly ahead did not notice the amusement in the eyes of the man beside him.

Not long after, the car finally stopped in front of the villa. Lin Su was familiar with this place; he had often come here before, but this time was different. This time, he would be living here long-term.

[Hello, little villa. Please take care of me.]

The person who had been quiet all the way became lively again. That lively, cheerful voice made the usually tense man relax.

"Come to the study with me."

Lin Su, ever the eager lackey, lowered his eyes obediently. "Okay, President Gu."

[Regret, regret. I'll have to see this face at work in the future, and when I come home after work, I'll still have to turn into a little lackey. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.]

Gu Lin suppressed the upward curve of his lips, unexpectedly feeling the urge to tease him. "You seem somewhat dissatisfied?"

"President Gu, you worry too much. I should be thanking you for your help," Lin Su said with a gentle smile.

[Dissatisfied? Dissatisfied! Extremely dissatisfied!]

Hearing the completely opposite voice, Gu Lin's thin lips curved slightly. "Mm. Assistant Lin truly is different from the rest."

With that, he turned and walked upstairs.

[What? Is that how 'different from the rest' is used? Why does it feel like he's mocking me?]

With no other choice, the little lackey stepped forward and followed him again.

In the study, Lin Su sat on the sofa. A moment later, his CEO walked over carrying a document.

[Why am I still working overtime after getting off work?!]

Though panic filled his heart, Assistant Lin looked as warm as a spring breeze on the surface. The curve of his lips was perfectly elegant, making him look just like a young master from an aristocratic family.

The formerly methodical man had become vivid and alive. At last, a streak of color had appeared in this pale and boring world.

Gu Lin placed the document before him, withdrew his hand, and said unhurriedly, "Take a look."

"If there's no problem, sign the last page."

His peach-blossom eyes flew wide open. Lin Su's lips trembled as he stammered, "O-okay..."

[We already got the certificate, and only now the kept-lover contract is coming out? This domineering CEO really isn't familiar with his own business!]

Gu Lin raised a sharp brow and pressed his lips together slightly to suppress their curve.

The man who could scan ten lines at a glance finally finished reading the "cooperation agreement." Its contents were reasonable and clearly organized, and there was no conflict of interest between Party A and Party B.

One clause made Lin Su's eyes shine: during the contract period, if Party B encountered a suitable Alpha, Party A would unconditionally terminate their relationship and give Party B five million as compensation for the contract period.

[What a conscience! This, this... If I don't sign it, I'm not human!]

Lin Su furrowed his brow slightly and pretended to be troubled. "President Gu, ours is merely a mutually beneficial relationship. The... ahem, five million stated here is really unnecessary."

"Of course, please rest assured about the other clauses as well. I won't reveal our relationship to anyone."

"This contract, I..."

[Hurry up and persuade me! Hurry up and persuade me to sign it!]

Gu Lin raised a hand to cover the smile at the corner of his lips, his expression turning solemn. "Mm, Assistant Lin is right."

With that, he reached out and pulled the contract from Lin Su's hands.

"The issues with the contract still need improvement. It's getting late. We'll sign it tomorrow after it's revised."

[No, I was just playing hard to get! This boss really can't read the room!]

[Wuwuwu, did five million just fly away like that???]

Gu Lin held back his laughter as he watched Lin Su's back gradually stiffen. The moment the door closed, he finally laughed aloud.

Outside the door, Lin Su dragged his leaden feet toward his bedroom. The moment he closed the door, he could no longer suppress the sorrow in his heart.

Opportunities had truly come rolling in like waves, yet he had dodged them with one ridiculous move?

This mouth of his had to go!

Looking at the luggage in the room, he let out a heavy breath. So be it if he had missed it. A poor man's life was complete as long as he had a luxury house to live in!

He looked at the tidy room with satisfaction. After nearly an hour, he had finally finished unpacking.

Was it because he had become an Omega? Why did he feel a little tired? Lin Su raised a hand to wipe the thin sweat from his forehead. When he sniffed lightly, the scent of sweat rushed into his nose.

Whoa! He was starting to smell.

Unable to stand the sticky feeling on his body, Lin Su picked up some clothes and headed for the bathroom, completely unaware of the changes in himself.
