Chapter 26
Faced with the suddenly appearing alpha, An Le instantly froze. He felt his whole body stiffen, unable to move or speak. Subconsciously, he lowered his head, staring intently at his fingers.
The alpha paused, “So timid?”
Leaning against Xiao Xiao’s desk with his arms crossed, he chuckled, “Not even brave enough to say a word to me?”
The alpha was very handsome, tall and slender, the burgundy clothes very becoming on him. His expression was flamboyant. “Just seeing one person scares you like this? Old Lu has so many friends, wouldn’t you be scared to death?”
An Le’s head buzzed; he didn’t hear most of what the man said. The only word he clearly understood was “Old Lu.”
Lu…
The only person he could think of with that pronunciation was Lu Heng, but he didn’t know if this alpha was referring to him.
He was facing an alpha after all, who naturally exerted a sense of oppression on an omega. He was so nervous his whole body trembled. He wanted to escape, but his legs felt weak and he couldn’t move.
Just then, he heard Xiao Xiao’s voice: “Le Le, boss, what are you doing!”
No matter how much An Le’s head buzzed, Xiao Xiao’s voice always accurately reached his ears and mind.
An Le looked up, seeking help, and saw Xiao Xiao rush over and hug him. “Le Le, don’t be afraid, this is my… this is my boss, the one who pays me. He’s a good person, don’t be afraid.”
An Le believed Xiao Xiao, nodded slightly, and whispered, “Okay.”
The alpha awkwardly touched his nose, saying helplessly, “This kid is too timid, isn’t he?”
Xiao Xiao was unhappy, but since it was his superior, he didn’t dare glare at him, only pleading softly, “Boss, go to your office first. I’ll come find you later, soon, very soon!”
“Alright then.”
The alpha had no choice but to turn and leave.
Only after the alpha left did An Le look up, saying apologetically, “Xiao Xiao, I’m sorry…”
Every time he went out, he couldn’t give Xiao Xiao a pleasant experience. This was one of the reasons he didn’t like going out.
“It’s okay.”
Xiao Xiao pulled over a colleague’s chair and sat opposite him, smiling. “That was my male god! Last time in the parking lot, the lighting was dim, you definitely didn’t see him. Did you see him clearly this time?”
An Le shook his head, “No.”
Shamefully, he hadn’t seen clearly what Xiao Xiao’s crush looked like even after seeing him twice, only knowing he was an alpha.
Xiao Xiao had no choice but to take out his phone and show An Le his photo album. “Then look at the photos again. I secretly took some pictures these days. His name is Gu Qian, he’s the person I’m chasing. Le Le, you can’t be afraid of him. When I get him, you have to go out to eat with us.”
An Le had to accept Xiao Xiao’s man; he couldn’t be afraid.
An Le nodded, “Okay, I… I just didn’t know.”
If he had known earlier that this was Xiao Xiao’s crush, he definitely wouldn’t have been so nervous.
Xiao Xiao had a very lively personality, always cheerful no matter what he did. An Le rarely saw him sad.
But no matter when, An Le listened quietly to whatever Xiao Xiao said.
The same was true now, as Xiao Xiao introduced his crush.
An Le listened and smiled, “Is he really that good?”
Xiao Xiao: “Of course! He takes good care of me at the company, he’s handsome and gentle. He’s much better than your Lu Heng, at least, he’s not scary, hahaha…”
An Le nodded along with Xiao Xiao’s happy laughter. He thought Xiao Xiao was right; Lu Heng did seem pretty scary at first.
Thinking this, Gu Qian returned, knocking on the desk. “It’s almost three o’clock. Time to work, Xiao Xiao. Are you still doing today’s work?”
Xiao Xiao stopped smiling and looked up. “Can I take half a day off?”
Gu Qian smiled and asked, “What do you think?”
Xiao Xiao: “…Numb!”
Then he turned to An Le, “Sorry, Le Le, I can’t play with you this afternoon, only the day after tomorrow. But wait for me, I’ll get some things, then we’ll go downstairs together, and I’ll call you a cab.”
An Le nodded, “I’m fine, you go ahead, you go ahead.”
He had only come to visit and hadn’t expected Xiao Xiao to take him out in the afternoon.
Xiao Xiao was quick, leaving immediately after speaking.
Gu Qian stayed.
Although An Le trusted Xiao Xiao and didn’t want to be afraid of Gu Qian, his body wouldn’t obey. He was still nervous.
Gu Qian smiled happily, “So timid? Then you must never provoke Old Lu, Lu Heng, your future husband.”
Only when Lu Heng’s name was mentioned did An Le react. He subconsciously looked up at Gu Qian.
Gu Qian smiled very gently, nodding as he said, “Because he’s very good at insulting people. If you anger him, you’ll cry your eyes out.”
An Le was stunned, his beautiful eyes filled with confusion. He asked softly, “Mr. Lu, is… is he very fierce?”
“You’ll find out.”
Gu Qian stood up straight, walking a few steps towards the direction Xiao Xiao had left, then suddenly turned back. “By the way, Xiao Xiao is going to discuss a contract with me soon. Are you okay going downstairs to get a cab by yourself?”
An Le quickly replied, “Yes, no problem.”
Although he wanted to go downstairs with Xiao Xiao, he didn’t want to delay Xiao Xiao’s work.
After Gu Qian left, more people came into the office. An Le didn’t dare stay any longer, getting up and walking downstairs with his head down.
He was afraid of crowds and didn’t dare take the elevator, opting for the stairs. But as soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs on the first floor, he saw Lu Heng.
Lu Heng was stunned when he saw him. The little thing looked quite good in his new clothes.
After a few seconds, Lu Heng walked over and whispered a compliment, “You look very nice.”
An Le was shocked. He didn’t know why Lu Heng would be here, but hearing Lu Heng’s words, after a moment of surprise, he understood that Lu Heng was referring to his new clothes.
He looked down at his new clothes, blushing slightly and feeling uncomfortable. This was the first time he had worn clothes bought for him by someone other than Xiao Xiao and gone out in them. Seeing others, he felt the clothes were getting hot.
He nervously called out softly, “Mr. Lu.”
Lu Heng touched An Le’s cheek, “Hmm, curious why I’m here?”
An Le, suppressing his discomfort, nodded slightly. “Mm.”
Lu Heng pointed to the stairs leading further down, “Don’t forget where you last encountered me.”
An Le froze, then blushed even more.
He had last encountered Lu Heng in the underground parking lot of Xiao Xiao’s company, and Xiao Xiao’s crush knew Lu Heng, so… did Xiao Xiao’s crush call Lu Heng?
An Le wanted to ask, but he was hesitant. Until Lu Heng boldly pulled him outwards, he couldn’t help but ask softly, “Mr. Lu, did… did Mr. Gu call you here?”
He didn’t dare call Gu Qian by his full name, but didn’t know how else to address him, finally choosing “Mr. Gu”.
Lu Heng laughed, “Yes, to pick you up.”
