After Marrying the Top Alpha of a Wealthy Family, I Am Spoiled Rotten Chapter 29
Chapter 29
When they arrived in the neighboring city, it was seven in the evening. Wen Yan and his group first checked into the hotel. After dropping off their luggage and freshening up a bit, they went out for dinner.
During dinner, Liu Ren's eyes never left his phone. As they were about to finish eating, he excused himself to take a call.
"He's in love," Chang Jing said mysteriously to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan took a sip of water, "In love?"
"Checking his phone so frequently, it's either a boss or someone he likes. Since you're here, it must be someone he likes. Plus, with that occasional lovestruck smile, it's definitely love," Chang Jing analyzed.
Her reasoning was sound, and Wen Yan couldn't help but smile wryly.
"What about you?" he asked.
Chang Jing replied, "Boss, you're not going to start nagging us to get married and have kids just because you did, are you?"
"Of course not," Wen Yan assured her.
"Well, I'm not planning on getting married. I don't want to become a housewife for some alpha."
Wen Yan chuckled but didn't say anything.
Chang Jing suddenly got nosy, "So, do you regret getting married, or are you glad you did?"
Wen Yan paused. Regret? Actually, after marrying Lin Chuanwu, he never regretted it. Except for being domineering in bed, Lin Chuanwu treated him well otherwise.
Grateful… He never felt that either. He was just thankful…
"He looks so fierce. When he stands there without speaking, Liu Ren and I get so scared we want to pee. Boss, don't you get startled awake at night seeing his face, needing to remind yourself he's your legal husband before you can go back to sleep?"
Wen Yan was used to her bluntness and wasn't offended. "It's not that exaggerated."
"He's only fierce when I've done something to make him angry," Wen Yan added after a pause.
"You make him angry? With your good temper, how could you make him angry?"
Wen Yan smiled awkwardly, "I'm not as good as you say. Actually… I'm quite a mess."
But in Chang Jing's eyes, no matter how bad Wen Yan's temper was, compared to Lin Chuanwu, he was clearly the one being bullied. She would secretly check Wen Yan for any bruises every day at work.
Seeing her concern, Wen Yan said seriously, "He treats me well."
"Really well."
Liu Ren returned from his call, scratching his head and smiling sheepishly, "Sorry, the call took a while. Let me treat you to this meal."
"Hey, are you in love?" Chang Jing asked.
Liu Ren was startled, "How did you know?"
"We've known each other for years. I can tell just by looking at you…"
Liu Ren quickly interrupted, "Can you be more civilized, you female beta? Always talking about gross stuff."
"Is it that omega you've been seeing?"
Liu Ren suddenly became bashful, "It's not an omega, it's an alpha."
Chang Jing stood up in shock, and even Wen Yan's eyes widened slightly.
"An alpha dating another alpha? That's even more taboo than our boss, a beta, dating an alpha!"
"And didn't you say you hated alphas?"
Liu Ren had a sweet expression, "He's different from other alphas. He's gentle, polite, kind, and he can cook."
"So, who's on top and who's on bottom?"
"Of course, it's me! I'm a fierce A!"
Chang Jing gave a knowing smile, "Be careful not to get tricked."
The three of them chatted until late at night before returning to the hotel.
The next morning, they set off for the promotional event.
They arrived early, and Chang Jing and Liu Ren were yawning on the side.
Wen Yan hadn't slept much longer than them, but since he wasn't being kept up all night by an alpha, he was still energetic.
He found the event organizers, who then took them to their booth.
"This is an AR interactive setup. You can project your game onto the screen, and customers can wear glasses to step into the game character's shoes and start playing," the organizer's staff explained to Wen Yan before leaving to take a call and never returning.
Wen Yan and Liu Ren were responsible for projecting the game onto the screen, while Chang Jing organized their promotional materials.
After working for a while, Liu Ren scratched his head, "Weird? Is this machine broken?"
The game could be projected, but only the first few levels were displayed. The later levels kept glitching. Liu Ren tried many times without success, and Wen Yan also gave it a shot but couldn't fix it.
"We should find someone here to help us," Wen Yan suggested when they couldn't figure it out.
"Liu Ren, you and Chang Jing set up our promotional materials. If anyone comes to try the game, explain it to them," Wen Yan instructed.
"Got it, boss."
By this time, more people were arriving at the event. Wen Yan circled around several times, but the staff in red vests were all busy. Some told Wen Yan to wait, but after half an hour, no one came, and customers who were interested in their game left upon hearing they couldn't play the later levels.
Wen Yan went directly to find the organizers and ran into an alpha in a red vest on the way.
Wen Yan tried asking again, "Hello, do you have a moment? Could you help us adjust the equipment?"
The alpha in the red vest stared at the mature and handsome beta in front of him, momentarily stunned, then quickly said, "I have time, I have time."
Wen Yan gratefully smiled and led him to their booth.
The alpha didn't sit down, standing as he moved the mouse with one hand and typed on the keyboard with the other. In no time, he had fixed the issue, and the later levels displayed normally.
The alpha said, "For this type of puzzle game, you need to download a runtime software for the later levels to display. But it's not your fault; it should have been our staff's responsibility."
"Thank you," Wen Yan smiled warmly.
"Just doing my job," the alpha said, staring at Wen Yan. "If you have any more issues, feel free to find me."
"Then I'll get back to work."
After the alpha left, Chang Jing watched his back, "He's so handsome."
"Get back to work, my dear," Liu Ren said, exasperated.
With the equipment adjusted, more players lined up to try the game.
The first player to reach the eighth level finished the experience, and Chang Jing asked for his thoughts.
Wen Yan pressed his lips together, his palms sweating.
"How should I put it? I usually play more exciting, intense games, but this game didn't give me that thrill. However, it was very immersive, and the art style was beautiful. The overall atmosphere was healing, and finding the brother at the end felt like a comforting warmth drying a damp body."
"I hope the game launches soon. I'll definitely download and support it."
Next was the second player.
The second player was an omega, who, after playing, squatted on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
Wen Yan handed him tissues, and Chang Jing comforted him.
After crying for a while, the omega calmed down.
"My husband passed away three years ago, and I haven't been able to move on. I came here to clear my mind and saw the game promotion. It reminded me of how we met through a game, so I decided to check it out. I didn't expect to play this game… In the final level, when the protagonist meets his brother, and the brother says, 'Don't be sad because I'm gone, because I'm always with you,' it felt like my heart's creases were smoothed out."
"It felt like my husband was telling me to live on and not be in pain anymore…"
Several more players came after that, most giving positive feedback, though some were impatient.
"What a trash game."
"I prefer monster-fighting games, not into this."
"The art style is nice, but I don't like the game's core. However, if it launches, I'll still download it."
They were busy until after four in the afternoon, and Chang Jing and Liu Ren compiled feedback from twenty players.
"The art style seems fine since all twenty players praised it. The game's immersion is also good, though it might be due to the AR. As for the core storyline, opinions are mixed."
"Those who liked it really liked it, and those who didn't really didn't," Chang Jing reported.
"Nothing can please everyone. Let's see tomorrow's feedback. If more people dislike the core storyline than like it, we'll adjust."
"Adjust? This is your labor of love. Are you really going to change it because some people don't like it?"
"I'd rather it be played by many, even if it gets criticized, than remain a niche treasure," Wen Yan smiled. "I'm 27, not 17. My first concern is whether the client can break even and whether your hard work will be rewarded."
Chang Jing nodded, understanding Wen Yan as a fellow professional.
"But let's not be pessimistic. I'm just considering the worst-case scenario. Maybe the game will be a hit, and every player will be left speechless after finishing it."
"Right!" Chang Jing's eyes lit up.
As they were about to pack up, the alpha who helped them earlier returned.
Chang Jing nudged Liu Ren, "How many times has he come today?"
"Three times, or is it four?"
"Looks like he fell for our boss at first sight," Chang Jing clicked her tongue. "I must say, our boss is quite charming."
Liu Ren agreed, "Mature, gentle, handsome, and responsible at work. He seems like the type who, even if you wronged him, would hold you and say it's okay, indulging you endlessly, like a mom."
"To be honest, when I first started working under him, I had a crush on him for a while."
"Same here."
"Who wouldn't be moved?"
As a newbie in the workplace, feeling extremely anxious, suddenly meeting a handsome, gentle, patient, and protective boss, it's natural to develop feelings.
Fortunately, Wen Yan was a boss with a strong sense of boundaries.
"We can handle this, no need to trouble you," Wen Yan said politely.
To attract players, Wen Yan had bought many plush toys and cards to give away, but they hadn't given out many. They had to move several boxes back to the car.
The boxes were quite large, blocking the view ahead, so Wen Yan could only look to the side as he moved forward, but suddenly he bumped into something and couldn't move forward.
His hands were suddenly empty as someone took the box from him. Wen Yan realized it was the alpha who had helped them earlier.
Liu Ren and Chang Jing, who had been chatting, quickly came over, "Hey, handsome, no need, we got this."
"It's fine, I'm off work, just helping out."
Seeing his enthusiasm, they didn't refuse further.
While moving things, Chang Jing asked, "Hey, handsome, what's your name?"
"Fu Yuan."
"You're not one of the event staff, are you?"
"No, I'm just a part-timer. I'm a nearby university student, came to play and experience the game."
"A university student? How old are you?"
Fu Yuan seemed a bit shy, "I'm 19." He glanced at Wen Yan after speaking.
Just barely an adult! Chang Jing was shocked.
"Do you know how old we are?"
"I'm 25, he's 26, and our boss is 27, almost 28."
Fu Yuan didn't react much, "That's still young."
After moving everything, Wen Yan said, "Let me treat you to dinner."
They went to a nearby restaurant to eat. As the dishes were served, Wen Yan kept checking his phone, not touching his food.
"Boss, why aren't you eating? What's wrong?"
"You guys go ahead, I'll be right back," Wen Yan said, heading to the restroom.
In the restroom, Wen Yan stared at the chat interface with Lin Chuanwu.
It had been a day and a night since he sent the message, and the alpha hadn't replied. When Lin Chuanwu was on business trips before, Wen Yan would text him, and even if he didn't reply immediately, he would respond after a while.
This was the first time it had taken so long…
Wen Yan felt uneasy…
The excuse he casually made to brush off Lin Wanfu…
He didn't expect Lin Wanfu to tell Lin Chuanwu…
Alphas are competitive, whether it's height, strength, or… sexual prowess. They always want to be number one, especially top-tier alphas like Lin Chuanwu.
Hearing that he wasn't up to par, he would probably want to prove himself even more. He was already wild in bed, and now he might be even more so…
Just thinking about it made his lower body ache…
After washing his face, his phone still showed no new messages. Wen Yan was worried…

"Hey, dude, our boss is already married, he's a taken man. You should've seen the ring on his finger, right?"
"I saw it."
"Then why are you being so attentive?"
"I'm just helping out."
"You better not have any inappropriate thoughts, or his husband will make your life hell."
"It's a law-abiding society now, you're exaggerating," Fu Yuan frowned.
"I'm not exaggerating. You'll understand when you meet his husband."
Seeing Wen Yan return, Chang Jing stopped talking.
The four of them chatted after finishing their meal.
It was mostly Liu Ren and Fu Yuan talking, with Chang Jing occasionally making sharp comments.
Wen Yan listened quietly the whole time. He wore a neatly pressed shirt, his hair was jet black, his face pale, and he occasionally checked his phone. The silver ring on his ring finger glinted slightly. For some reason, his married status gave him an indescribable charm.
Fu Yuan discreetly looked away.
After dinner, they parted ways at the restaurant.
Back at the hotel, Wen Yan took a shower, lay down, and quickly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a strong sense of fullness.
Wen Yan frowned and opened his eyes…
Only to see the alpha who was supposed to be in Beijing suddenly appear in his room. The alpha's aura was eerie, his eyes dark and ghostly as he stared at him. What terrified Wen Yan even more was that he was holding something, already halfway in…
