A Beta's Life Without Gu Lin

A Beta's Life Without Gu Lin

Lin Su looked at his custom-made outfit from head to toe, the luxury watch, and the ring on his ring finger. The man beside him wore the same style.

That costs several million! Millions! Oh my god, the world of rich people is beyond this little monkey.

Was it really okay to let the female lead walk reluctantly past their "world"? Still, why did this female lead seem a little strange?

Gu Lin is even stranger!

Gu Lin glanced sideways at the person beside him. His gaze landed on the window, where he saw himself being scrutinized. Was he strange?

Such a delicate, sweet female Omega stood right in front of him, yet he wasn't moved at all. Wasn't he supposed to... Could it be that the opening scenes were important?

Shouldn't the innocent little flower be an assistant? Why had she become a receptionist now? Was this the butterfly effect?!

By then, Lin Su's mind had already run wild, even drifting into bizarre supernatural theories.

Through the car window, Assistant Lin appeared gentle on the surface, but his inner drama was intense.

As for Mu Xiaomu, Gu Lin's sharp brows furrowed slightly. Her deliberate approach and clumsy acting suggested that she had not come solely for him.

Lin Su.

A cold smile curled his thin lips, and a dangerous glint flashed through his dark eyes. The girl's ambitions were rather large. No matter what her ultimate purpose was, if she dared do anything remotely harmful, she would pay the price.

Hiss, did Xiao Chen turn on the air conditioning? It's a little cold.

Only then did Gu Lin restrain himself. The anger in his heart gradually eased away. He looked out the window, though no one knew what he was looking at. The emotions in his dark eyes were impossible to read.

After driving for around twenty minutes, the car finally entered a small, dense forest. A few minutes later, it passed through, and an ancient residence finally came into view.

It was an old, spacious quadrangle courtyard, surrounded by towering white walls. Its tightly shut gates seemed to isolate everything within, giving off an uncomfortable feeling.

Why does this feel like some kind of Chinese horror movie? The Gu Household... sure has taste.

No wonder Gu Lin's personality is so... There really is a reason for it. It hasn't been easy for him, it hasn't been easy.

Tall, poised, and elegant, Assistant Lin wore a calm, gentle expression. In this quiet, gloomy setting, he gave off a sense of warmth and reassurance.

The heaviness in Gu Lin's heart vanished by more than half after hearing Lin Su's thoughts. That out-of-place voice somehow felt warm here.

Gu Lin held out his hand. His voice was low, carrying a trace of barely perceptible gentleness. "Let's go, Su... Su."

A crack appeared in Assistant Lin's elegant mask. His peach-blossom eyes flew wide open, his pupils trembling several times. He felt as if his jaw were about to hit the floor.

Su what?! Are you stuttering? Please straighten out your tongue before you speak!

That's it!! This really is a horror movie now! Gu Lin is actually smiling. I must not have slept enough.

Under Gu Lin's smiling gaze, Lin Su squeezed his eyes shut. Then Gu Lin's calm voice sounded beside his ear. "From now on, Assistant Lin, you must play your role well."

A large hand settled on his waist and tightened slightly, pulling Lin Su into his arms. Startled, Lin Su opened his eyes and turned his head to meet the man's gaze.

Gu Lin was not suffering from a split personality. He was merely acting.

Lin Su glanced from the corner of his eye toward a certain spot and quickly understood. His gaze fell on the collar before him. As he raised his hand, that refined yet alluring face enlarged before Gu Lin's eyes.

They had been just as close when they had tangled together before. Perhaps Gu Lin's attention had not been on Lin Su's face back then, but only now did he notice that Lin Su's pupils were light brown, his eye corners slightly upturned. His gaze, brimming with affection and a smile, was enough to stir one's heart.

Slender fingers gently adjusted Gu Lin's collar and straightened his crooked tie.

Gu Lin lowered his gaze to watch those pale hands move. His expression remained composed, but no small waves had risen within his heart.

"Young Master Lin, you've returned. This is..." The old butler's tone was delighted, and his expression grew somewhat excited when his gaze fell on Lin Su and the hand around his waist.

This handsome man carried the same scent as the young master. The old butler's nose stung. His young master had finally gotten the hang of things.

Gu Lin spoke evenly. "Butler Wu."

"Lin Su."

The way a domineering CEO introduces someone really is different.

Lin Su stepped forward first and smiled as he nodded. "Hello, Uncle Wu."

"Oh, ah... Young Master Lin Su, hello." Old Wu's beaming face looked somewhat restrained.

"Let's go inside. When the old master heard that Young Master had brought Young Master Lin Su home, he sat in the living room early to wait."

"Today, the old master instructed the kitchen to make all the dishes you like, Young Master."

"You don't know this, Young Master." He sniffled twice as he spoke. "The old master talks about you every day and has been hoping for you to come back."

"The old master..."

Gu Lin frowned, his impatience practically written across his face, yet he still did not interrupt Old Wu.

Every other word is 'the old master.' It's suffocating, just like this house. It made people uncomfortable.

Gu Lin's fingers paused slightly. His dark eyes flickered as his gaze shifted downward, landing on Lin Su's starry eyes, which even his long lashes could not hide, and his full, vivid red lips.

He slowly looked away. The large hand at Lin Su's waist unconsciously tightened a little, making Lin Su glance sideways. The man bent down and murmured by his ear, "You don't need to hold back too much."

Lin Su froze for a second before nodding in agreement.

No way, is there some kind of conspiracy?

With Old Wu chattering nonstop along the way, they wound through the old residence again and again. The scenery inside was indeed quite nice, with the feel of a classical garden: lush green bamboo and lotus leaves floating across clear pond water.

The only flaw was that, despite walking for so long, they encountered only a handful of people. Perhaps because dusk was approaching and the light had dimmed, the entire old residence felt gloomy and even somewhat oppressive.

Only when Lin Su met the old master of the Gu Household did he understand Gu Lin's meaning. The old man, his temples snow-white, sat silently in the chair at the center with a cane in hand. His appraising gaze traveled over Lin Su again and again, far from polite.

At that moment, Lin Su felt like a product. No, more like some cheap trinket on a street stall.

I'm a little annoyed, but I'll let it go for now since you're an elderly man.

Gu Lin naturally knew what the old master was calculating. He shifted to the side and blocked that thoroughly impolite scrutiny.

"Old Master, this is my legal partner, Lin Su." He said partner, not Omega. Lin Su looked at the man's broad shoulders, and his heart trembled slightly. In this world, many Alphas were more inclined to view Omegas as accessories for continuing their bloodline.

An Omega could only ever be permanently marked by one Alpha, but Alphas were different. The higher an Omega's rank, the stronger their fertility, like Lin Su's.

But as long as he did not open the reproductive barrier, the thing he worried about would not happen. After all, he was a man. A man having another...

A baby?! Wasn't that like a bolt from the blue? Besides, he had grown up as an ordinary Beta, an ordinary person. His original plan had been to find another ordinary Beta and live a quiet, ordinary life together, but now...

Things had gone against his wishes. He sighed silently to himself.

Lin Su was lost in thought and did not notice that the man in front of him had stiffened for a second.
