Chapter 153: The Sunlit Beta and the Obsessive Alpha  19

He Xu stood silently in place, gradually piecing together the sequence of events.

In their past life, Xu Jianan and Leng Yi had a relationship akin to a caged bird and its deranged benefactor, and their interactions were far from harmonious.

After all, Xu Jianan’s eyes were filled with hatred for Leng Yi, with no trace of affection to be found.

Xu Jianan and Leng Yi were undoubtedly a pair of bitter enemies.

Both had passed away, their lives ending in regret.

Over a year ago, Xu Jianan had been reborn and, bringing his younger brother with him, left District C for District A, likely intending to avoid Leng Yi in this life.

Yet, to his surprise, Leng Yi had also been reborn not long ago and had managed to track down Xu Jianan’s residence.

This led to the earlier fiasco.

However, Leng Yi probably never expected that Xu Jianan would once again show him no mercy and attempt to kill him.

After unraveling the relationship between Xu Jianan and Leng Yi, He Xu then considered the role his beta had played in all of this.

Xu Jiayan was the perfect pawn for Leng Yi to manipulate Xu Jianan into submission, but Leng Yi had misjudged the situation and ended up driving Xu Jiayan to his death.

The person he loved had died once in their past life.

— A fall from a high-rise building!

He Xu’s icy expression grew even darker, his sharp eyes emitting a terrifying chill.

“You did well to kill him!”

“Anyone who harms Ayan deserves to die.”

Xu Jianan said coldly, “I won’t let anyone hurt my brother.”

“I hope you can protect Xiaoyan.”

The main reason he had revealed the events of their past life to He Xu was to ensure that his brother would have someone to protect him and to make his brother’s lover more vigilant.

He didn’t want his brother to repeat the same mistakes.

He Xu suppressed the darkness threatening to spill from his eyes and solemnly promised, “As long as I am alive, no one in this world will be able to lay a finger on Ayan.”

“He will never suffer harm from the outside world; I will shield him from all dangers.”

The beta he loved only needed to grow up well and be happy every day. There was no need for Ayan to know about the bloody and dark things.

He would hold up a protective umbrella, allowing his beta to enjoy life to the fullest.

Xu Jianan nodded gently.

He Xu raised an eyebrow and said, “Mr. Xu, I proposed to Ayan today, and he agreed. Next year, we’ll get married and stay together for life.”

“I hope you can be our witness.”

Xu Jianan smiled and said, “I will. I also hope Xiaoyan can live a happy life.”

The two men, both skilled in pretense, had reached a consensus on protecting Xu Jiayan.

The real boss·Xu Jiayan: ???

Actually, I’m not that weak…

But the indignant Xu Jiayan, under the joint concealment and protection of his brother and husband, had no choice but to accept the role of the protected.

Some things didn’t need to be explained in too much detail; otherwise, it would be troublesome.

His brother wanted to protect him, and he wanted to protect his brother.

His brother didn’t want him to know about their past life or get involved with Leng Yi, so he pretended not to know.

Leng Yi was just a clown. With the protagonist aura his brother had, combined with his own, they could surely protect his brother.

Moreover, he was a highly capable younger brother. Let’s see which blind Alpha would dare bully his brother again.

If anyone wanted to die, he would gladly oblige.

But this had to be done quietly; he couldn’t let his brother find out that he was also extremely fierce.

The following summer.

In early July, the naive college student was whisked away by He Xu to the local civil affairs bureau to get their marriage certificate. Later that month, they held their wedding, letting all the elite families of District A know that the living Yama, He Xu, had married a beta.

To be honest, they admired Xu Jiayan.

Daring to marry He Xu, that ferocious alpha, took extraordinary courage.

This explosive news also spread to Districts B and C of Serdorra Star, sparking widespread discussion.

Serdorra Star was divided into three districts: A, B, and C. District A was dominated by elite families, District B by the military, and District C by wealthy merchants.

He Xu was undoubtedly the overlord of District A.

As for the Leng family of District C, where Leng Yi was from, they were once the most prominent wealthy family in the area. Unfortunately, the Leng family had already declined by the end of last year.

After Leng Yi’s death in District A, the once-prosperous Leng family began to decline. The wealthy at the top of the food chain were targeted by the elite families of District A, eventually leading to their downfall.

The Leng family was no longer listed among the wealthy in District C.

And this outcome had been sealed the moment the Leng family attempted to harm the Xu brothers, Xu Jianan and Xu Jiayan. No one could stop those who were determined to bring about their own demise.

Jiang Tao, a working man, deeply understood this.

He was also a guest at He Xu and Xu Jiayan’s wedding, witnessing firsthand the deep affection their master had for his wife. He couldn’t help but feel a mix of admiration and sympathy for those foolish enough to try to harm her.

Sigh, why provoke the master of all people?

The wealthy merchants and nobles who later heard that He Xu had placed a beta on the pedestal of his heart were filled with mixed emotions. The living Yama(devil) had finally been tamed.

Xu Jiayan’s sacrifice brought happiness to everyone.

After all, since He Xu got married, he had become much less bloodthirsty, instead focusing on playing the role of a gentle husband in front of his beta.

Whether it was an act or not didn’t matter! As long as he was willing to put on the act, that was enough.

Otherwise, they were truly worried that one day they might offend him and end up being eliminated by him.

This way, things were just fine.
