Young Master Gu's fiancé was back in the country?

"A-Xiao, I heard your fiancé is coming back tomorrow?"

Feng Ji was in a terrible mood, even knowing that A-Xiao couldn't possibly like that person, who had gone from a delicate omega to some kind of alpha.

But the mere title of "A-Xiao's fiancé" was enough to make him deeply unhappy.

What right did that thing have to become A-Xiao's fiancé?!

If he, Fu Huai, and Ji Chuan weren't all alphas, how would anyone else have gotten a turn?

Still, Feng Ji knew that even if one of the three of them were an omega, he wouldn't have been allowed to get engaged to A-Xiao.

If any one of their three families grew too close to the Gu Family, the balance would be broken.

Only a lasting, stable relationship of mutual interests could keep their friendship stable too.

Feng Ji understood. He had always understood.

"A-Xiao, rather than waiting for him to come back and break off the engagement in person," Feng Ji suggested, "why not strike first and break it off with him?"

Gu Xiao gave Feng Ji a mocking smile.

"Do you know how much profit my fiancé's family is willing to give up to break off the engagement with the Gu Family? If your Feng Family can make up the difference, I believe my mother would agree to your request."

Feng Ji rubbed his nose and looked awkwardly up at the sky.

"The weather's nice today. Clear skies, pure air, a gentle, pleasant breeze..."

Before he could finish, a sudden rumble of thunder interrupted Feng Ji.

Then came a flurry of lightning and thunder, and fierce gusts of wind.

Feng Ji: "..."

Gu Xiao chuckled and patted Feng Ji on the shoulder. "Don't be scared. I was joking."

"This weather really changes its face without warning," Feng Ji said gloomily. "A-Xiao, it might pour."

Gu Xiao looked up at the sky. "Mm, it should be a heavy downpour."

So what if it rained? He had an umbrella anyway.

Feng Ji insisted on squeezing under his umbrella. "A-Xiao, don't walk so fast. Wait for me."

"Don't you have your own umbrella? Why squeeze under mine?"

Feng Ji showed his little canine teeth. "It's such a big umbrella anyway. Don't be so stingy."

"It's cramped."

Feng Ji grinned. "No, it's not. I think we could squeeze a few more people in."

Then Feng Ji said, troubled, "Forget it, not a few. Just two. I'll allow Fu Huai and Ji Chuan to squeeze in too."

Gu Xiao couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense.

"A-Xiao, let me hold it for you!"

"No need," Gu Xiao said expressionlessly. "Just be good and follow me."

Feng Ji grinned. "Okay."

On the seventh floor, inside an empty little classroom.

The windows and door stood wide open.

A long-haired man quietly watched the two people not far away from beside the windowsill, letting the rain soak his long hair.

His long, straight black hair fell down his back, while the strands in front were loosely tied beside his cheeks with two ribbons. His face was fair and exquisite, his features androgynous.

A white suit outlined his well-proportioned figure.

From a distance, he could have been mistaken for a tall beauty.

"Young Master Fu, Young Master Gu should already know you've returned."

A beta stood behind Fu Rong, unable to resist wiping the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead.

Ever since Young Master Fu had differentiated into an alpha, his temperament had grown increasingly strange, and he had become even more frightening.

Young Master Fu hadn't exactly had a good temper as an omega either. He had been icy cold, and although the beta knew he was also his master, because Young Master Fu was an omega, he had thought of him as nothing more than a beautiful ice beauty.

But now, Young Master Fu, as an alpha, frightened him.

An alpha's aura really was completely different from an omega's!

In truth, Fu Rong didn't think anything about him had changed.

He had merely gone from a tool for a marriage alliance to a more valuable tool for a marriage alliance.

To Fu Rong, there was no difference.

Ever since he was sixteen, he had known his fiancé was Gu Xiao.

That ill-tempered, idiotic, arrogant alpha really wasn't among Fu Rong's choices for a mate.

But the Fu Family had demanded that he marry him, so he could only comply.

Until he had been forced to undergo a second differentiation and become an alpha.

His bargaining weight had increased.

The Fu Family wouldn't allow an alpha to marry out of the family.

Bringing an omega into the family through marriage was the only way to maximize their interests.

"Young Master Fu, when are we going to visit Young Master Gu, then?"

"Shut up," Fu Rong said coldly.

"Yes!"

Sh-shutting up was good.

As long as he didn't speak, he wouldn't make mistakes.

"Quite a few people like Gu Xiao." Fu Rong suddenly curved his lips into a smile. "Tell me, if I refused to break off the engagement, how would Gu Xiao's admirers react?"

The poor beta's vision went dark at those words.

If he didn't break off the engagement, shouldn't he worry about the Fu Family's fury first?!

Young Master Fu had been eccentric since childhood, and after becoming an alpha, he had only grown worse!

And because he had become an alpha, Young Master Fu had even more power!

For a moment, he didn't know who would be the unlucky one.

Young Master Gu would probably bear the brunt of it...

"Young Master Fu, your clothes and hair are wet," he said cautiously. "Would you like me to blow them dry for you, or get you a change of clothes?"

Fu Rong smiled and shook his head. "No need. This little bit of rain won't make much difference."

When Young Master Fu smiled, it was like a ten-thousand-year-old glacier melting, like a hundred flowers blooming...

At such close range, he could barely breathe.

"Let's go." Fu Rong's mood had inexplicably changed. "Let's take a look at... my dorm room first."

The Fu Family's main market was in the West.

A marriage alliance between the Gu Family and the Fu Family was a union of the powerful.

Quite a few people offered congratulations on the surface while cursing and swearing in secret.

The Gu Family was already a law unto itself. Add the Fu Family... and they would have even less chance of ever getting ahead!

Gu Xiao...

A touch of excitement appeared on Fu Rong's exquisite face.

It had been a long, long time since he had encountered anything this interesting.

What was he to do? Even though he was an alpha, he didn't want to break off the engagement so soon.
