Evil Love Appears chapter 57

It took Xu Jiale only 0.1 seconds to figure out who this person was.

It wasn’t just because the person provided the last name “Wen,” but also because that self-confidence, distinctly belonging to a direct Alpha, felt incredibly familiar. No wonder he was the guy Wen Huaixuan, who ran a hotel and used a horse-riding picture as his WeChat profile. And who the hell just shows up unannounced like this for a blind date?

Xu Jiale felt a burning rage inside: “I am…”

He was about to speak but got stuck.

Damn, Xu Jiale suddenly realized that the so-called “pursuing” and “being pursued” relationship between him and Fu Xiaoyu also meant that he was anonymous.

“Hmm?” Wen Huaixuan looked a bit puzzled.

Fortunately, at this moment, Fu Xiaoyu had slowly walked from behind the car and exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Wen?”

“Mr. Fu, hello, nice to see you.”

Wen Huaixuan’s eyes lit up, and he extended his hand warmly. He clearly recognized the omega right in front of him – the one from his WeChat.

Since Fu Xiaoyu changed his profile picture, Wen Huaixuan also changed the WeChat remark from “introduced by family O” to Fu Xiaoyu’s name. He felt that as soon as they added each other on WeChat, the other person changed their profile picture, which was a bit unusual, but he didn’t really mind the cold responses from the Omega.

Recently, he often opened Fu Xiaoyu’s WeChat, checking the profile picture, and looking for any updates on Moments. The less activity he saw from the other person, the more interested he became. He even went out of his way to meet Tang Ning during this trip back home and although Tang Ning came from a restructured family with average social status, Wen Huaixuan had grown up in an affluent environment and was naturally optimistic. He didn’t think too much of these factors.

Today, seeing Fu Xiaoyu for the first time, he felt that it was indeed worth it.

Fu Xiaoyu remained silent for a moment, and his expression was clearly not pleasant. Nevertheless, he couldn’t say much. Even though Wen Huaixuan’s words were polite, he knew Fu Jing too well.

As soon as he saw Wen Huaixuan, he knew that this was the type of alpha that Fu Jing liked, and since he was introduced by Tang Ning, Fu Jing was likely to be immediately interested..

Fu Xiaoyu was quite unhappy about the surprise visit, but because of the relationship with Tang Ning, he maintained a calm facade.

He quickly shook hands with Wen Huaixuan. “May I ask why you came here all of a sudden?”

This handshake made Xu Jiale, who was standing on the side with his arms crossed, squint his eyes.

“Oh, I just returned to Shuncheng a few days ago and met with Aunt Tang and Uncle. I heard you injured your waist a few days ago. My mother lives in the Junya South District, and it’s only a few minutes’ drive from there to here. I thought it would be convenient for me to come by and check on you on the way. Mr. Fu, how is your injury?” Wen Huaixuan asked politely.

Fu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly 

“I’m fine; it’ll be okay in another two or three days,” Fu Xiaoyu said briefly after a pause.

“That’s good. Once you are better, I’d like to invite you for a meal,” Wen Huaixuan smiled, showing off his well-maintained and white teeth. “By the way, about these flowers… Mr. Fu, if it’s convenient for you, where would you like to put them?”

He was originally thinking of placing the flowers at the bedside for Fu Xiaoyu.

However, before Fu Xiaoyu could respond, Xu Jiale, who had been standing by, suddenly spoke up.

“Give them to me.”

“…?” Wen Huaixuan hesitated for a moment, holding the flowers, and turned to look at Xu Jiale, somewhat unwilling.

The two of them exchanged glances for two or three seconds, and although it was brief, a lot of information was exchanged during this short time.

Unbeknownst to them, the silent confrontation between Alphas had already begun. Even before formally starting, the process involved mutual observation, like two wild animals silently sizing each other up.

In this regard, Wen Huaixuan had somewhat suffered because Xu Jiale had already examined him thoroughly from head to toe when he was conversing with Fu Xiaoyu. Of course, it couldn’t be called an examination; it was more like a critical scan, resulting in the following character sketch forming in his mind:

Wen Huaixuan, appearing to be around 24-25 years old, with a height of approximately 185 cm, which was not short. His pheromones were passable, almost an A-level.

He had sword-like brows and a starry-eyed, baby-faced appearance. His hair was dyed in an extravagant dark brown color, which was acceptable. He was wearing a custom suit and fashionable Santoni crocodile leather loafers. While these items were not cheap, the overall outfit might have cost less than the watch he had on.

His demeanor was average for a rich young man, and due to his self-confidence, he was essentially a walking Quora answer: “Thanks for asking. I just turned 25 this year, achieved financial independence, drive a G-Wagon, and don’t like to show off. I usually wear a Patek Philippe Sky Moon to make a grand entrance.”

While Xu Jiale silently criticized him in his mind, Wen Huaixuan was doing the same thing—his inspection was much simpler.

• Height was a draw.
• He unquestionably won in the age department, being several years younger than his counterpart.
• Pheromones were a draw (his wine-type pheromones were slightly superior).
• His attire wasn’t excessively extravagant, but at least it was stylish. In contrast, the other guy was wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a childish cat face on it, which earned him a zero.
• G-Wagon vs. Tesla, he didn’t know the exact model, but even though he was unsure, he knew he was the victor.

Wen Huaixuan, who had already declared victory in advance, revealed a radiant smile on his face. Instead of offering the flowers, he looked at Xu Jiale and asked, “Oh, I forgot to ask, you weren’t introduced earlier. Are you Mr. Fu’s friend?”

He asked quite proactively.

Fu Xiaoyu took a step forward and was about to speak, but then hesitated.

In fact, even in front of Xu Jiale’s many friends, he could boldly admit to pursuing Xu Jiale. However, today he had to hesitate a bit.

The situation became awkward for a moment.

Xu Jiale initially wanted to give the initiative to Fu Xiaoyu, but Fu Xiaoyu remained silent.

He continued to gaze at Wen Huaixuan. In this moment of mutual scrutiny, any second of retreat would make him uncomfortable.

“I’m his friend.”

Xu Jiale was just about to pause briefly, but this pause made him unable to contain himself.

Facing the scrutinizing look, allowing the other party to maintain high self-confidence on their face was his failure.

The more childish he felt inside, the calmer he appeared on the surface, adding, “Boyfriend.”

As soon as these this word came out, everyone was stunned.

Fu Xiaoyu raised his head abruptly, initially surprised, but then his round eyes sparkled uncontrollably.

As for Wen Huaixuan, he was thoroughly flabbergasted. As a blind date, he naturally assumed that the other party was single. When he saw Xu Jiale, he understood that their relationship was unusual, but that wasn’t a big deal. Good-looking and outstanding Omegas typically had Alphas flocking around them. However, he had never imagined that this hoodie-wearing Alpha was not a spare tire but the main act.

This realization left him dumbfounded, and his earlier confidence dissipated from his face.

“This…”

Wen Huaixuan awkwardly threw the bouquet of flowers into the car. This action evidently helped him calm down. When he turned around, he maintained a good demeanor and even smiled politely when he apologized to Fu Xiaoyu, “I thought you were single. I apologize for overstepping.”

When he addressed Fu Xiaoyu, he remained well-mannered, and he extended his hand to Xu Jiale, reintroducing himself, “My last name is Wen, and I’m called Wen Huaixuan.”

“Xu Jiale.”

Xu Jiale also shook his hand, but then casually said, “But it’s only been a week or two. It did happen quite suddenly.”

This statement wasn’t meant to let Wen Huaixuan off the hook. Xu Jiale just realized he needed to add this, or it would make Fu Xiaoyu seem uncouth no matter what.

“Well I do appreciate you coming to check on me Mr. Wen.”

Fu Xiaoyu also responded with a sentence, but his mind seemed to be elsewhere. After saying it, his gaze remained on Xu Jiale, seemingly with a faint smile.

This look was truly charming, and it somewhat left Wen Huaixuan feeling disappointed.

Nevertheless, the three of them maintained polite conversation and were about to go their separate ways.

But at that very moment, something extremely awkward happened: the Tesla app crashed.

Xu Jiale stood dumbfounded by the roadside. You see, since he bought the car, this had never happened. He had gradually stopped using the car key and relied solely on the app to control it, to experience the unique feeling of being a “Tesla” owner.

However, just at this moment, the app crashed, and he couldn’t open the car door.

It was as if fate was playing a joke on him. At the most critical moment, he received the most precise blow.

“… Can’t you open it?” Fu Xiaoyu, supporting his waist, asked curiously. He had been standing for quite a while and was somewhat uncomfortable. He then continued, “Why did it suddenly crash?”

“Damn it,” Xu Jiale was practically ready to crush this car, which was as still as a stone, with his bare hands, then time travel to strangle his past self who had decided to buy an electric car.

“What happened? Is the car broken?” Wen Huaixuan, who was just about to start his G-Wagon, also got out of the car and approached with concern.

“The app crashed,” Fu Xiaoyu said.

“Huh?” Wen Huaixuan genuinely didn’t understand. He didn’t catch the first few words and thought it was a car problem. He added, “I don’t really understand electric cars, but I heard that Tesla has been constantly lowering prices. Is it because they’re prone to malfunctions?”

He clearly didn’t treat Xu Jiale with the same level of courtesy as he did Fu Xiaoyu, and there was a hint of teasing in his words.

Xu Jiale was almost infuriated by this.

“Ride with me,” Wen Huaixuan immediately said to Fu Xiaoyu with a smile, “This area is too large, and you have a backache. Shall I drive you back? I don’t have any plans for the day anyway.”

This well-intentioned proposal made Xu Jiale’s face turn red, but he couldn’t bear to see Fu Xiaoyu struggling again. He could clearly see that Fu Xiaoyu was tired, and even standing and waiting for a taxi would be very strenuous.

Just as he was about to thank Wen Huaixuan while holding back his anger, suddenly, car horns sounded from across the street.

Xu Jiale turned to see a familiar black Phantom parked in front of Fu Xiaoyu’s home.

At this moment, the driver’s door opened slowly, and a middle-aged chauffeur got out and waved at him.

Could it be that everyone in the entire city of B is at Junya today?

Xu Jiale’s inner frustration was close to boiling over, but then he suddenly became optimistic.

At this hour, he felt that Murong Jingya probably wasn’t there. Otherwise, the atmosphere wouldn’t be so relaxed, right?

It was just the family driver passing by; this was perfect.

Xu Jiale then waved in that direction, saying, “Uncle Yu, my dad isn’t home today, is he? Can I borrow the car?”

“Of course,” Uncle Yu said with a smile. Just as Xu Jiale’s face was about to break into a smile, he added in response to the previous question, “Mr. Murong is also in the car. He asked me to come down and see what you’re doing here.”
