The Coveted Gloomy Beta Roommate Chapter 45.3

Part 3

The hall full of fragrant clothes and shadows suddenly became a blurred background.

Lu Zhi’s bold ambitions from just moments ago shattered into a mess on the ground. His body reacted faster than his reason, getting up and walking forward.

What cold shoulder? What simp? He was born to be his wife’s dog!

Tang Xingye wasn’t used to the small leather shoes and let Zhou Lin support him lightly.

He had only taken two steps when he was blocked.

“Baby!”

Tang Xingye had a blank look on his face. Lu Zhi, who leaned in close, was like an excited big dog, an invisible tail wagging frantically behind him.

Zhou Lin moved half a step closer to Tang Xingye’s side without batting an eye, his long fingers resting lightly on his waist. “He is my female companion now. Have some shame and don’t rush up to lick.”

Lu Zhi sneered. “When we were intimate, who knows where you were?”

Lu Zhi turned to look at Tang Xingye, looking aggrieved like a large dog abandoned by its owner. “Why did you come to the party with him? And let a lowlife like him touch your waist.”

As he spoke, he glared viciously at Zhou Lin’s hand on Tang Xingye’s waist.

His originally calm mind was washed away by jealousy. Lu Zhi couldn’t help but speculate maliciously: The dress was definitely bought by Zhou Lin. A shady person like Zhou Lin must have made demands and would take the opportunity to secretly touch the simple little Beta…

People around whispered:

“What’s the tea here? I think I heard someone shout ‘Wife’, ‘Husband’, and ‘Little Lover’?”

“Shh—Lu Zhi shouted really loudly just now. Apparently, he let such a beautiful Beta eat two…”

“Wait, isn’t that beauty in the white dress an Omega?”

“Are you blind? That’s clearly a Beta; no pheromones. But looking like that, do pheromones matter? For that face, I’d go for it for a night. Gender isn’t worth mentioning in front of beauty.”

Tang Xingye frowned slightly. He pretended not to understand Lu Zhi’s jealousy-laden sarcasm.

These two were both wearing suits, while only he was wearing a dress. If a fight broke out, rumors would guarantee tomorrow that he was the source of the trouble.

Suddenly, he had another thought. Isn’t this a good thing? Forget Lu Zhi; Zhou Lin will definitely find me troublesome and will avoid me like the plague in the future.

Once the dress was off and the wig removed, who could recognize him? Even if they did, he’d deny it to the death.

Tang Xingye deliberately kept a straight face, the tails of his eyes lifting slightly. “You don’t listen at all. You’re annoyingly loud.”

“We clearly agreed you wouldn’t disturb me, yet you came looking for me on your own initiative, and even hit someone. Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me?”

Tang Xingye added oil to the fire, getting more into it as he spoke, even secretly pinching himself to make his eyes rim with red.

Lu Zhi panicked instantly and hurriedly said, “I’ll change, I promise I won’t be noisy again…” Saying that, he tried to hold Tang’s hand.

Tang Xingye: “…” Huh?

No, where is your Alpha dignity? What happened to the promised ‘Big Straight Alpha’ chauvinism?

He was speechless for a moment, raising his eyes to see the meaningful gazes of the guests around them. The whispers drifting over suggested they were all cursing him as a femme fatale causing trouble.

“So the ‘Little Husband’ came looking for trouble on his own? That’s wrong of you, Lu Zhi. Since you were willing to be the mistress, you should stick to your place.”

“I know this plot! The mistress tries to usurp the main wife, fails to provoke, and comes over to throw a tantrum begging for forgiveness.”

“Being a Little Husband isn’t enough; he wants to be the main wife. Making the wife cry—he really deserves to die.”

Tang Xingye frowned. He couldn’t tell if Lu Zhi was joking or serious. He lifted his wet, red eyes and stared at him. “Really?”

“Don’t cry. I’ll change. Give me another chance,” Lu Zhi was flustered and helpless. The Alpha’s tall body squatted halfway down to be at eye level with him, his voice weakening. “I’ll listen to you properly.”

Tang Xingye hadn’t expected his tears to work so well, manipulating Lu Zhi just like that. He would have to keep a bottle of eye drops on him in the future.

Just as this thought arose, he felt a sudden urge to laugh. Since he was still pretending to cry, he tried hard to hold it in.

Zhou Lin: “…”

Lu Zhi, this idiot. Tang Xingye’s fake crying is so obvious; what is he panicking about?

Zhou Lin said coldly, “In that case, don’t disturb us.”

“Rest assured, I’m not interested in your business. Matters between him and me don’t need an outsider like you talking nonsense.”

Lu Zhi turned to Tang Xingye, the aggressive Alpha aura from moments ago vanishing completely. “I’ll keep you company tonight. You’re not alone here; don’t be afraid.”

Tang Xingye: “…”

Afraid of what? Afraid of being kidnapped?

In the end, Zhou Lin used an emergency work excuse to forcibly drag Lu Zhi away. Before leaving, Lu Zhi didn’t forget to look back and make a “contact anytime” gesture at Tang Xingye.

Tang Xingye walked around once, found a seat, and sat down. Suddenly, he smelled a sickly sweet scent of fruit wine.

Warning bells rang in his brain. Omega in heat?!

Tang Xingye looked toward the smell. In a corner not far away, an Omega was holding onto the wall, head lowered, body curled up, fingernails digging deeply into their palms.

Tang Xingye hesitated again and again, glanced up at the surveillance camera overhead, gritted his teeth, and went up to support the Omega. “How are you? Where is your room? I’m a Beta; I’ll take you back to rest.”

“I feel so awful…”

The Omega lifted their face, covered in tear stains, looking extremely pitiful. “Help me.”

Tang Xingye leaned in close, soothingly saying, “Don’t panic, calm down…”

The Omega just cried, shaking their head without speaking. Tang Xingye had no choice but to get up, preparing to find a staff member. Just as he moved, the Omega tackled him, hugging his waist tightly.

Tang Xingye stumbled. He thought he faintly heard the sound of fabric tearing—hopefully not his dress. The Omega behind him clutched at him like a drowning person clutching a straw.

“Don’t go…”

“Please, don’t go…”

The rich fruit wine pheromones wrapped around him. Tang Xingye froze for a moment. It was as if he had been force-fed a glass of strong liquor; his vision blurred for a second. Frightened, he immediately pried open the hands on his waist and pushed the Omega away.

The Omega was pushed to the ground. They looked up, grabbing Tang Xingye’s wrist. “My constitution is special; I’m allergic to Alpha pheromones. Just give me some of your pheromones.”

Sniffing the faint fragrance, the Omega’s voice carried intense craving. “Please give it to me. Your pheromones smell so good… I really want them… Help me…”

Help?

How can I help?

Tang Xingye looked troubled. He wanted to help this Omega, but where would a Beta like him get pheromones?

“Help me, okay? I beg you.”

“I know it’s hard for Omegas to accept other Omegas, I just want a little of your pheromones. I won’t do anything else to you.”

“…”

Who is going to do what to whom exactly?

Tang Xingye patiently explained, “Wait here a moment. I don’t know the way here; I’ll go find someone for you…”

The Omega covered their heating gland in a wretched state. The torture of the susceptible period was already making them miserable. Trembling, they reached out a hand towards Tang Xingye’s gland.

“Wife, don’t be scared, I’m here!”

Ye Lin, returning from washing her hands, rushed over immediately and pulled the Omega up.

“You go tidy up your clothes first! I’m his friend; I’ll take him back to his room.”

Tang Xingye walked quickly into the restroom. He tidied his messy dress in the mirror, then paused. The inner lining of the dress had a small tear, likely caused when the Omega suddenly tackled him.

Great. Now Zhou Lin has even more reason to make me pay.

On second thought, it felt absurd—every debt has its debtor. Zhou Lin should seek compensation from that Omega.

Could the susceptible period count as emergency evasion? The law surely wouldn’t make an Omega in heat pay for a dress, right?

The incense in the restroom mixed with residual pheromones, sweet enough to make one dizzy. Tang Xingye turned on the faucet and patted cold water on his hot cheeks. The scent of fruit wine seemed to linger in his breath. He decided to go outside for a walk.
