Gu Xuanhao is someone who can be considered naive, but sometimes he sees things more clearly than anyone else. In fact, he could be called a master at spotting pretentious people. No matter how high the status of a deceitful man or woman, they will always show their true nature in front of him. However, his strange way of thinking and sudden bursts of brilliance make it impossible to honestly praise him for his emotional intelligence.

Ye Xing is the most direct victim. He has liked Gu Xuanhao for nearly ten years, even going so far as to lower his status to become a small housekeeper in the Gu family. Yet, Gu Xuanhao sees him as nothing more than a fox spirit trying to seduce his own brother. Most people would have been furious and given up long ago, but Ye Xing has managed to endure until now.

That being said, despite Gu Xuanhao’s peculiar thoughts, it doesn’t mean he’s lacking in intelligence. Recently, he had been puzzled about something, but after seeing his older brother’s expression, the answer suddenly clicked.

“Brother,” Gu Xuanhao said with some irritation, looking at Gu Xuanze, but due to always being under his older brother’s pressure, even when angry, Gu Xuanhao still appeared a little meek. “You and Ye Xing… is there something you’re hiding from me?”

“That’s not important,” Gu Xuanze said casually, not even raising an eyebrow. “Ahao, Ye Xing will never appear in the Ye family again.”

This was definitely good news that called for celebration. Gu Xuanhao even thought he should call Lu Youze and pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Celebrating was fine, but the matters that needed to be cleared up still had to be resolved. Otherwise, he’d end up dreaming about that day and having nightmares.

“Brother, you and Ye Xing… did you break up?” Gu Xuanhao gulped, leaning in with a curious and gossipy look.

After all, this involved his older brother’s private matters, and if he wasn’t careful, he might anger him. But considering it was the Lu family and Lu Youze was there, he figured his brother wouldn’t do anything serious.

The reason Gu Xuanhao had stayed at the Lu family recently was partly to avoid Ye Xing and partly to give his brother a chance. Based on how often Gu Xuanze had been visiting the Lu family lately, it seemed like things were really happening between them.

Thinking of this, Gu Xuanhao felt more confident. If his brother and Lu Youze really got together, he’d be a big help.

Gu Xuanze looked at his foolish younger brother. He couldn’t expect much from his IQ. Ye Xing’s feelings had been so obvious, but his stupid younger brother still thought their relationship was ambiguous and believed Ye Xing was trying to seduce him.

But it was fine; it saved him some trouble since the outside world also had his back.

“Mm,” Gu Xuanze glanced at his silly younger brother. Since the two of them would never meet again, he couldn’t be bothered to explain. He simply nodded along to his younger brother’s words.

So great!

Gu Xuanhao was overjoyed inside, but still acted as the concerned younger brother. He walked over and patted Gu Xuanze on the shoulder twice.

“Brother, are you okay?”

Gu Xuanze’s expression darkened. If Gu Xuanhao weren’t his brother, he probably wouldn’t have even bothered to answer.

“Ye Xing and I are both Alphas. Two Alphas can never be happy together,” Gu Xuanze said after thinking for a moment. He decided to help his younger brother understand some facts so that Ye Xing wouldn’t keep pestering them.

Although he couldn’t let Ye Xing see Ahao again, Ye Xing was too dangerous, and there were times when he couldn’t guard against him.

Gu Xuanze wasn’t an old-fashioned person, but since Ahao wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t give Ye Xing the chance.

Everyone is selfish. He just didn’t want his stupid brother to suffer.

Upon hearing his brother’s words, Gu Xuanhao instinctively touched the gland on his neck, and the painful sensation from that day suddenly resurfaced.

He shook his head quickly, trying to clear away any unwanted thoughts. He was happy that his brother and Ye Xing had broken up, but his brother’s words made him worry.

Could it be that his brother gave up because they were both Alphas? Was that why Ye Xing had acted so strangely? Had he bitten his gland to get revenge on his brother or to prove that two Alphas could be together?

The more he thought, the more he felt like he was meddling in their affairs. Gu Xuanhao quickly stopped his little mental play.

“Brother, if you still like Ye Xing, don’t worry about these things. As long as you both truly love each other, these issues shouldn’t matter,” Gu Xuanhao suddenly said seriously to Gu Xuanze.

Although calling Ye Xing “sister-in-law” felt awkward, his brother’s happiness was the most important thing. To Gu Xuanhao, Gu Xuanze was the most important person.

Gu Xuanze’s icy face twitched slightly. He should never have expected anything from his younger brother’s intelligence. Just as he was about to settle things with Ye Xing once and for all, a voice suddenly came from outside the restaurant.

“Young master, why aren’t you coming in?”

It was the voice of Lu Bo.

The brothers, in perfect unison, turned around to look outside the restaurant.

Lu Youze stood at the door, awkwardly but politely smiling at them.

Both brothers’ expressions changed.

“Mr. Gu, I’m sorry to interrupt your conversation. Director Wu just sent over a list of actors, and I had some questions, so I came to ask.”

Lu Youze smiled on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing. Why did he always pick the worst moments? If only he had been a minute later, he wouldn’t have overheard such an awkward conversation.

Help! What should I do if I accidentally overheard my boss’s secret?

At this moment, should he pretend he didn’t hear anything to avoid further awkwardness? Rationally, Lu Youze knew that this was the best option. But he still had a good impression of Gu Xuanze. After all, the man had given him a chance to start over, and since he had been gay in his previous life, he could somewhat understand Gu Xuanze’s reluctance to give up someone he liked.

With this thought in mind, Lu Youze looked at Gu Xuanze with a bit more sympathy.

“Mr. Gu,” Lu Youze smiled gently at Gu Xuanze, “If you can make the other person happy, why can’t two Alphas be together? Sorry, I overheard your conversation and couldn’t help but say something. You two continue talking, I’ll come back later.”

After saying this, Lu Youze left quickly.

Gu Xuanze, who had just been immersed in Lu Youze’s gentle smile, suddenly had an extremely ugly expression.

It seemed like this misunderstanding was about to get bigger.

Gu Xuanhao, who had been watching his older brother’s reaction, couldn’t help but feel delighted. From his brother’s reaction, it seemed he cared more about Lu Youze, and that made him feel relieved. However, his brother had finally let go of Ye Xing and had a new romantic interest. If Lu Youze misunderstood, it wouldn’t be good.

“Brother,” Gu Xuanhao quickly said, eager to explain, “I’ll go explain things to Youze.”

“No need,” Gu Xuanze stood up. “I’ll go myself.”
