How could A-Xiao possibly marry into another family?

He had absolutely no way to stop what Young Master Fu wanted to do.

The Fu Family was far away in Country E. By the time they realized what had happened here, it would all be too late.

However anxious Pietro was, what could he do as a beta?

"Young Master Fu, you're an alpha now. How can you keep your engagement to Young Master Gu?" Pietro was on the verge of tears.

"If the master finds out, we're finished."

Fu Rong looked at him coldly. "Why would I be finished? I'm his son. He wouldn't dare kill me."

Pietro's vision darkened at those words.

Yes, Young Master Fu wouldn't be finished.

The one who ended up finished would definitely be him!

"Young Master Fu, the master only agreed to let you transfer to Aisili Noble Academy because you initially said you would come here in person to break off the engagement."

Pietro nervously continued his threats. "If the master finds out what you've done, he'll definitely make you go back."

Fu Rong gave Pietro a sinister look, yet a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you threatening me?"

Pietro's legs gave out, and he crumpled to the floor, trembling. "Young Master Fu, I-I wouldn't dare."

This beta was such a nuisance.

But he didn't have anyone useful at his side, either.

Pietro was someone he had chosen from an orphanage. Only after Pietro turned eighteen had he been assigned to his side to look after him.

This beta, five years his senior, was becoming less and less fun.

And Pietro thought he could threaten him with being sent back?

Expressionlessly, Fu Rong tied his hair behind his head with a green hair ribbon.

He naturally knew what the old man was thinking.

He wanted to break off the engagement without losing face, so naturally, Fu Rong had to come in person.

Sending a junior to their door would also put the Gu Family in their place.

Pietro had no choice but to follow behind Fu Rong, whimpering miserably.

Fu Rong brazenly started a livestream, right on Aisili Noble Academy's official website.

He had loosely tied the green ribbon around the ends of his hair.

Its green stood out.

The first thing that caught the eye was Fu Rong's face.

The second was that green hair ribbon.

Anyone who didn't know better might think he was hinting at something.

"Hello, everyone." Fu Rong offered a perfunctory greeting. "My name is Fu Rong. I'm... Gu Xiao's fiancé."

Watching the viewer count soar, Fu Rong curved his lips, but that beautiful face only became more chilling.

"Don't worry. I won't break off my engagement to Gu Xiao, because I. Love. Him."

With that, Fu Rong ended the livestream.

He left behind a huge wave of people shocked beyond belief.

But because of Fu Rong's status, no one dared spam anything strange in the livestream chat.

There were only screens full of exclamation marks and question marks.

Topic: ???!!!???!!!

Everyone who clicked in knows what I want to say, right?

Post 1: It's a long story.

Post 2: I knew it. Who would bear to break off an engagement to His Excellency? They'd have to be insane.

Post 3: But he's an alpha.

Post 4: Neither the Gu Family nor the Fu Family would allow them to marry an alpha, whether taking one in or marrying into their family.

Post 5: What if the fiancé undergoes a third differentiation and turns back into an o?

Post 6: I heard His Excellency is actually very unhappy with this engagement.

Post 7: What a joke. Who could be happy with it?

Post 8: A third differentiation? My family invested in a genetics laboratory. If you're interested, Post 5, you're welcome to join us.

Post 111: What are you all worried about? If His Excellency can accept an alpha, guess who would make the first move?

"Fuck! This brat really does have a death wish!"

With a bang, a phone smashed into the enormous screen, leaving crack after crack across it.

The image froze.

Fu Rong's face was split into countless fragments, frozen before them.

Ji Chuan: "..."

"Feng Ji, are you sick in the head?" Ji Chuan was speechless. "What, do you really like Fu Rong's face that much?"

Remembering what he had just said to disgust Ji Chuan, Feng Ji swallowed his frustration without a word.

Gu Xiao said lightly, "Heh. He is rather interesting."

"A-Xiao, how is this interesting, too?" Feng Ji was very displeased. "He's an alpha now!"

Gu Xiao toyed with his water glass. "Mm, I know. That's why I said he's interesting. Mentally, he probably still can't accept that he's an alpha."

Another person with a gender identity disorder.

Perhaps he could become friends with Blue Hair.

No, I think he accepted it pretty quickly. Feng Ji puffed out his cheeks unhappily and looked at Gu Xiao in a huff.

"A-Xiao, this doesn't match the information we received," Ji Chuan analyzed calmly. "The Fu Family has already clearly stated that your engagement to Fu Rong is void. Fu Rong is an alpha now, and as a member of the Fu Family, he has inheritance rights. Why would he want to marry into the Gu Family as an alpha, unless-"

Feng Ji interrupted Ji Chuan. "Unless he wants A-Xiao to marry into the Fu Family! Fuck, he really has a death wish!"

Ji Chuan was silent for a moment, then said speechlessly, "Unless they have something else planned."

Feng Ji: "...So they don't want A-Xiao to marry into their family?"

"What do you think?" Gu Xiao set his water glass on the table, neither heavily nor lightly. "Feng Ji, your ideas are spectacular."

Feng Ji thought about it awkwardly. "Haha, I didn't mean that. Our A-Xiao is a big A, a male among males. How could he possibly marry into someone else's family?"

Ji Chuan's head hurt. "Just shut up."

For once, Feng Ji listened to Ji Chuan and obediently shut his mouth.

"A-Xiao, something's wrong on the Fu Family's end. What are you planning to do?"

Ji Chuan said calmly, "As far as I know, Fu Rong used to be cowardly. Even if he was somewhat overbearing, he was only an omega."

"Is that so?" Gu Xiao chuckled. "He's an alpha now."

A-Xiao's face was full of interest.

Whenever he encountered something interesting, A-Xiao would wear this expression.

Ji Chuan's expression darkened. "Where's Fu Huai? Why isn't he here today?"

"No idea," Feng Ji said quietly. "A-Chuan, it's rare to hear you ask whether someone else is here. Usually, we're the ones looking for you."

Ji Chuan said, "Sorry. I haven't been in a good state lately."

That same perfunctory line again. Even Feng Ji wasn't so easily fooled.

Feng Ji couldn't be bothered to fuss over what Ji Chuan was doing, either.

In any case, it was nothing more than something to do with alphas.

He had no idea why Ji Chuan would take a fancy to those inferior alphas when A-Xiao was right here.

It really was incomprehensible.

"Fu Rong isn't quite the person you imagine him to be."

Gu Xiao tapped the table, signaling for the two of them to turn their attention to him.

"Lin An found a video... a video from five years ago. He was still an omega back then."

Brimming with interest, Gu Xiao asked, "Guess what he was doing?"

Neither Feng Ji nor Ji Chuan was interested, but since A-Xiao was asking, they could ask as well. "What was he doing?"

"He was fighting in underground boxing matches."
