Chapter 54: What’s Wrong with a Spoiled Beta 15 p1
As these words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat grim.
It was as if an invisible smoke of gunpowder filled the air between the two Alphas.
They looked at each other, neither speaking again, but both saw a slightly bloody sharpness in the other’s eyes, as if they were about to tear each other apart and kill each other in the next second.
It was at this moment that Shu He gave up his plan to go back to his room and appeared in front of the two of them.
He held the railing, his heart beating a little fast as he walked down. His beautiful, naive, and round almond eyes were on Chu Chuanting, and when the other person suddenly looked over, he averted his gaze and stood by Chu Chuanbai’s side.
Seeing his action, Chu Chuanting’s sharp brow seemed to be instantly dyed with gloom. He looked at Shu He, like a hawk locking onto him.
Chu Chuanbai turned his head, as if he hadn’t expected Shu He to stand by his side. He watched the boy’s pale profile, and his eyes slowly narrowed, erasing all the evil thoughts that had been uncontrollably revealed when he was facing Chu Chuanting.
His voice was introverted and gentle. “Why did you come down?”
Shu He clutched the corner of his clothes and shook his head, his small face gradually becoming firm.
He decided to face the protagonist directly! Go back to the original plan!
That is, to break up with Chu Chuanting in front of him and say harsh words.
Shu He’s small face was tense.
He didn’t want people to see that he was very nervous in his heart, so he tried to make his voice sound more righteous. “…I already said we’re breaking up.”
His tone was not domineering at all.
Shu He frowned, cleared his throat a couple of times, and continued in a lower voice, “I’ve already sent you everything I had to say. Why are you still looking for me?”
Chu Chuanting’s hawk-like eyes were locked on Shu He, as if he would directly grab his collar and take him away in the next second. Shu He’s small face was pale with guilt, and he took half a step back.
Chu Chuanting’s expression was ugly. “Why are you coughing?”
Shu He looked at him in a daze.
“Did you catch a cold?”
Shu He: “?”
Is that the point!
“I’m saying we’re breaking up. Don’t pester me.” Shu He glared at Chu Chuanting fiercely. “I was just playing with you at first. I didn’t fall in love with you at first sight!”
Chu Chuanting actually said, “But I fell in love with you at first sight.”
The inexplicable conversation directly made Shu He’s head burn. He looked at Chu Chuanting with a dazed expression. At this moment, Chu Chuanbai reached out and pulled Shu He behind him.
“Don’t make things too ugly,” Chu Chuanbai said flatly to Chu Chuanting. “You’ve already broken up. Don’t be like a dog, clinging to him.”
Calling him a dog?
Chu Chuanting let out a light “heh,” and retorted, “You bit Little He during your susceptibility period. You think you didn’t make things ugly? Who’s the real dog?”
Chu Chuanbai said, “Then what do you want to do? Do you want Little He to get back together with you?”
He was the one who was most jealous of their relationship, but after asking this question, Chu Chuanbai actually turned his head back and looked at Shu He with a focused gaze. His voice was gentle. “Are you willing to get back together with him?”
Chu Chuanting also stared at Shu He.
The two pairs of gazes were like a fine, dense thread, wrapping Shu He so tightly he couldn’t breathe. Shu He uncomfortably turned his head, not looking at either of them, and mumbled, “No, I’m not getting back together with him. I don’t even like him.”
Nothing was more pleasing than this sentence.
A curve appeared on Chu Chuanbai’s lips. He turned back to look at Chu Chuanting. Chu Chuanting’s brow was suddenly dyed with gloom. He strode forward as if he wanted to talk to Shu He, but was easily blocked by Chu Chuanbai.
“Brother, do you want to cause trouble?”
Chu Chuanbai clapped his hands, and a group of armed men quickly rushed in from outside, their guns aimed at Chu Chuanting.
The atmosphere suddenly became dangerous. Seeing this, Shu He’s lashes fluttered, and his heart felt as if it had been stung by something. He subconsciously reached out and clutched the corner of Chu Chuanbai’s clothes.
His hand was soft, but the force of his grip on the corner of his clothes was definitely not light.
Chu Chuanbai immediately paused, the curve of his lips falling back, and his gaze lightly swept over the armed men.
They immediately put away their guns.
“My subordinates are ignorant. Of course I have no intention of targeting you. You’re still my brother, after all.” Chu Chuanbai reached his hand back, and his large fingers pulled Shu He’s hand, which was clutching his clothes, away and held it in his palm.
With a casual move, Shu He was pulled out by the force of his hand and stood by his side again, facing Chu Chuanting together.
“Little He and I have a marriage contract. We’ve talked about it for a while and decided to give it a try.”
Shu He felt Chu Chuanbai’s hand rubbing his wrist. His pale little face puffed out slightly, and he pursed his lips, not refuting this sentence.
The tall, straight man’s voice was also rich and low. “Brother, you should call Little He ‘sister-in-law.’ But he doesn’t like that title. I’m your brother, so you can also call him ‘big brother’.”
Shu He: “…”
Chu Chuanting: “…”
The world was turned upside down.
Shu He was so embarrassed he wiped his clothes with his hand, thinking that Chu Chuanbai was truly a proper villain, so much more professional than him. He could even say such things without a change in expression.
He couldn’t lose either. Shu He bravely lifted his face, and met Chu Chuanting’s deep eyes, which were staring at him without a word, waiting for a result. He pretended to be arrogant and said, “That’s right! Don’t contact me anymore.”
“If you’re really not reconciled and want me to pay the price, then I’ll wait. I don’t believe you can make me pay the price.” Shu He added a few more sentences. “And you’re always slacking off at work and sending me messages. How could I possibly like a man who’s not serious about his work?”
Chu Chuanting was completely expressionless.
He was so angry he couldn’t even get angry anymore, and said flatly, “You were the one who told me to share my daily life with you even when I was busy.”
“You said you were very clingy and wanted to know what I was doing at all times.”
“I did it, and now you’re saying I’m not serious about my work.”
Chu Chuanting crossed his arms and stared at Shu He’s guilty almond eyes. “Why did you only play with my feelings and not others’? Isn’t that because you like me?”
Shu He: “…”
Chu Chuanbai turned his head and swept his gaze over the armed men, his expression as it was yesterday. One of them understood and quietly raised his gun.
Shu He: “Chu Chuanting!”
Chu Chuanting looked at him, and as if he had realized something, he turned his head to look at the armed men.
Chu Chuanbai closed his eyes, told these people to go down, and then had the butler see the guest out. The butler walked to Chu Chuanting, who was a little dazed, and held out his hand and said, “Please.”
Before leaving, Chu Chuanting finally looked at Shu He one last time, but this glance only had time to see the back of the boy’s head. He pressed his lips into a straight line, and as if he had thought of something, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his dark eyes.

Shu He returned to his room.
A Chu Chuanbai followed behind him.
Chu Chuanbai closed the door and leaned against it without getting any closer. He lowered his head and closed his eyes, calming the scorching, chaotic breath in his chest. After a long time, in the quiet room where only the sound of the air conditioning could be heard, he spoke softly, “Are you just trying to break up with him, or are you deliberately trying to make him angry?”
He knew that Shu He was the softest-hearted.
He would not deliberately play with a person’s feelings, let alone say such nasty things when breaking up.
If Shu He really liked someone and was in a relationship with them, even if they ended up breaking up because of incompatibility, he would definitely have red eyes and a muffled voice as he laid out their incompatibilities, to prove that there was really no need to continue the relationship.
He would never be like just now, using the most extreme method, as if he wanted Chu Chuanting to hate him after the breakup.
No one would be willing to have a troublesome enemy for no reason, but Shu He had done just that.
Shu He took out the marriage certificate and looked at it. Hearing this, he pursed his soft lips, looked up at Chu Chuanbai, who was leaning against the door, and changed the subject in a small voice. “Thank you for cooperating with me just now.”
Only then did Chu Chuanbai walk towards Shu He.
With every step, he thought about what he was going to say. The distance of a few steps was quickly closed. Shu He stuffed the marriage certificate into a drawer and looked up at him.
“I don’t mind killing Chu Chuanting.”
After a long time, Chu Chuanbai said this.
Shu He thought of the armed soldiers just now, and his small mouth pouted.
