Chapter 40 : Provocation

Accidentally Choosing the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date

Ji Chenhao was so choked up with anger that he felt a lump in his chest.

He naturally couldn’t stand that sickly person, just like how he couldn’t stand Ji Anli before.

He wanted the other person dead.

Only when they were dead could he step over them to rise to power.

But of course, he couldn’t tell the person in front of him that.

He thought venomously, let Ji Anli be smug for a while longer.

Once he got close to the duke’s son and completely controlled him, the duke’s estate would be his greatest support.

Ji Chenhao noticed Wen Zhen also looking over with an unfriendly gaze.

He feigned weakness and looked at Ji Anli with grievance, “Brother Li, how could you think that? I just saw a familiar noble over there and wanted to say hello later. I’m already engaged, why would I look at another Alpha?”

Although Wen Zhen didn’t like Ji Chenhao, he didn’t want to lose face either.

Hearing this, his expression softened a bit.

Ji Anli replied slowly, “Is that so?”

Ji Chenhao was furious.

With Ji Anli pulling this stunt, if he approached Jeff later, would people really think he was interested in Jeff?

But thinking about everything he would gain once he achieved his goal, it was still worth it in comparison.

Ji Anli noticed Ji Chenhao’s eyes darting around and knew clearly that Ji Chenhao wouldn’t give up and would still approach Jeff for his own purposes.

With this premise, his reputation would only worsen after the banquet but that was what he deserved.

As for Ji Chenhao’s initial plan, it was going to fail.

Over by the fountain, he had asked Lin Jing and it was already half-filled with pebbles.

If someone really fell in, it would only reach their waist.

Ji Anli’s words didn’t provoke Ji Chenhao, fearing that saying more would lead to more mistakes.

He knew he shouldn’t have come here.

Ji Anli wasn’t in a hurry. There was plenty of time left in the evening.

Moreover, seeing Ji Chenhao’s anxious look, a second opportunity would come soon.

Sure enough, Ji Chenhao noticed Wen Zhen wasn’t leaving and even tried to strike up a conversation with Ji Anli.

Clutching his stomach, he groaned, “I’m not feeling well, excuse me for a moment.”

Before Wen Zhen could say anything, Ji Chenhao ran off.

This time, not only Ji Anli but Lin Jing also noticed something was off.

Especially when he connected Ji Anli’s earlier hints, Lin Jing gave a deep look at Ji Chenhao’s departing figure.

Ji Anli and Lin Jing exchanged a glance and Lin Jing gave him a slight nod.

Before coming to the banquet, because of Ji Anli’s words, he not only had the fountain filled but also stationed people around the banquet hall, waiting for instructions.

Lin Jing made a secret signal with his fingers behind his back and someone in the corner immediately disappeared to follow.

Ji Anli was in a great mood and even found Wen Zhen, that scumbag, somewhat pleasing to the eye.

But since Wen Zhen was here to be mocked, he wouldn’t miss the chance.

“Why aren’t you with your wonderful fiancé? Don’t take him for granted now that you’ve got him.”

Wen Zhen felt a chill in his heart.

“You know how I feel.”

At the same time, he glanced resentfully at Lin Jing.

If he hadn’t made a wrong move, this position would have been his.

Lin Jing stared at him coldly as if looking at a dead man.

Ji Anli taunted Wen Zhen, “Your feelings? Feelings that can only share the good times but not the bad? You really have a heart.”

“You know it’s not like that, I…”

Wen Zhen was eager to explain, instinctively taking a step forward.

Perhaps he was too anxious, his tone was a bit rushed and his voice was a bit loud.

Lin Jing quickly shielded Ji Anli, frowning as he glared at Wen Zhen, “What do you want to do?”

Before Lin Jing could make a move, a guard stepped forward, the leader frowning as he looked at Wen Zhen, “Mr. Wen, this is not a place for you to make a scene.”

Wen Zhen noticed the scrutinizing gazes from around him, pressed his lips tightly and felt utterly embarrassed.

“Sorry, we were just having a casual chat.”

The leader didn’t believe him and looked at Lin Jing, “General Lin, is that the case?”

Lin Jing glanced at Ji Anli.

Ji Anli was daydreaming, clearly not expecting this unexpected delight.

Wen Zhen had just raised his voice a bit, looking fierce, but was this considered a form of protective argument?

Ji Anli was in a great mood and for once, he generously waved his hand, indicating it was no big deal.

Only then did the guards leave.

Wen Zhen was extremely moved. It turned out Anli did care about him.

Ji Anli thought: Let’s stay a bit longer.

He’s being magnanimous. Also, if we fall out now, there won’t be any more chances for Lin Jing’s protection.

Soon, the people Lin Jing sent to follow Ji Chenhao returned and sent a message to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing glanced at it, tilted his head and lowered his voice to tell Ji Anli, “He went out of the banquet hall and headed towards the fountain. After waiting for a while, he caught Jeff who came out for some fresh air and now they’re talking about something.”

Ji Anli listened with an unchanged expression, his mind active.

Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to stir up trouble?

Wen Zhen had been paying attention to the two’s movements, feeling a bit jealous.

This spot used to be his.

If only he had held on a bit longer back then.

But unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.

When he snapped back to reality, he noticed Ji Anli looking at him with a strange expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

“What’s wrong?” Having just been warned, Wen Zhen spoke very softly this time

Ji Anli sighed, “I didn’t expect you to… never mind, just follow me.”

This kind of half-spoken mystery left a lot to the imagination and Wen Zhen almost instinctively followed along.

Lin Jing naturally stayed by Ji Anli’s side while Wen Zhen followed behind, completely confused.

If Ji Anli had mentioned something about Ji Chenhao, the other person might not have come.

But with this half-said, half-unsaid approach, the other person was sure to come.

Through a floor-to-ceiling window, the inside was brightly lit while the outside was dim.

If you didn’t get close to the window, it looked pitch black outside.

Once you got closer, even though the fountain was in the corner, there was light and you could see what was happening over there.

Ji Anli stepped aside, “Look, didn’t I say he had his eyes on another Alpha? Tsk tsk, the old saying is true, those who cheat will be cheated on. In the blink of an eye, you’ve got a green hat on your head.”

Ji Anli didn’t lower his voice and with the commotion they just caused, many people noticed them.

The three of them appearing together in such a relationship was like a walking billboard, drawing everyone’s attention.

At this moment, they pretended to look elsewhere but their ears were perked up.

Hearing the words ‘green hat’, the gossiping spirit in everyone was awakened.

Instinctively, they shuffled closer to the window, quickly looked outside and immediately understood what Ji Anli meant by ‘green hat’

Wow, no wonder Wen Zhen was so loud and agitated earlier. It turned out he got cheated on.

What’s wrong with this Ji Chenhao?

Was he really the most desirable one in everyone’s eyes

Although the news hadn’t spread yet, it’s said that this palace banquet is not only to announce that the old Duke has found his long-lost son but also to arrange a marriage between the Count’s family and the Duke’s family.

The chosen one was the Count’s most beloved grandson.

And yet, before anyone even sees this Duke’s son, Ji Chenhao has already hooked up with him?

The discussion was so loud that Ji Anli couldn’t help but overhear.

Was that really the case?

No wonder the book mentioned that Jeff would take the initiative to find Yiya.

He probably heard about this from Ji Chenhao and wanted to talk to Yiya about the marriage in advance, likely because he didn’t want the marriage and wanted to speak up before the families made a decision.

But somehow, Yiya misunderstood, thinking Jeff was hitting on him and accidentally pushed him into the fountain?

Plus, Jeff had a weak heart. The shock and panic triggered an attack that led to his death.

When Ji Chenhao returned to the banquet hall from outside, he noticed something was off, especially the strange looks people were giving him.

He glanced around and saw Ji Anli not far away, planning to avoid him.

But the more he tried to avoid, the more it seemed like he was guilty.

Wen Zhen grabbed the person trying to hide, “Why are you running? Are you trying to hook up with someone else? Is one Count’s grandson not enough for you?”

Wen Zhen felt utterly humiliated in front of the person he cared about.

He didn’t care if Ji Chenhao liked him or not but they were still engaged. He couldn’t let him cheat on him.

Especially not with someone who was a useless person with no psychic power.

“What are you talking about?” Ji Chenhao tried to stay calm, thinking maybe Wen Zhen saw them earlier?

But it was nothing, they were just talking, nothing more.

Ji Anli and Lin Jing came over and Ji Anli tried to mediate with a teasing tone, “Couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot. He just made the same mistake you once did, looking at the pot while eating from the bowl. You should be understanding and forgive him.”

Those nearby who heard Ji Anli’s sarcastic remarks almost burst out laughing

Wen Zhen and Ji Chenhao who were both hit with sarcasm, “…………”

Ji Chenhao’s face didn’t look too good.

He held back and decided to be a ninja turtle, “You misunderstood, I just happened to run into Jeff. We’ve met a few times before. I was just saying hi.”

Ji Anli, “Just happened? That’s quite a coincidence.”

Ji Chenhao took a deep breath: It’s fine, it’s fine, don’t get angry.

Ji Anli suddenly leaned in, “And that scene just now, with everyone just happening to watch, that’s quite a coincidence too, right? No big deal?”

Ji Chenhao felt a chill all over, “You, what do you mean……”

Ji Anli added fuel to the fire, making the other party burn with rage, “I came over to check since you didn’t come back and just happened to see you with the Earl’s family.

I thought… maybe I was a bit loud and everyone got curious and looked over. Now everyone probably knows about you fancying another family’s Alpha.

But you don’t mind, right? After all, it’s not the first time.”

After saying this, he glanced at Wen Zhen who was the first one here.

Ji Chenhao looked around at everyone’s meaningful gazes.

His face was completely lost in front of all the families and nobles.

Even if he got rid of Wen Zhen, he feared he wouldn’t find a good marriage in the future.

Ji Chenhao finally couldn’t hold back, “Ji Anli!”

Did he kill his whole family or something?

Why is he always against him?

Lin Jing stared at Ji Chenhao with a deep gaze, “If you were more upright, you wouldn’t be afraid of being misunderstood.”

Ji Anli listened to the wonderful ‘ding dong’ sound in his mind and sighed, thinking he should have added one more at the time.

System: “…………”

Ji Chenhao looked closely at General Lin’s perfect face, going mad with jealousy.

When he was being attacked, Wen Zhen was defending someone else and when he, Ji Chenhao, raised his voice just a bit, he got warned by someone else’s partner.

Why, why does Ji Anli get all the benefits?

Ji Anli looked at Ji Chenhao’s face twisted with jealousy, he smiled and leaned in, lowering his voice so only the four of them could hear, “Are you so angry you want to kill me? Too bad, tonight is just the beginning. You can’t even handle a bit of interest on what you owe me?

You think bribing the butler to take the blame will keep you safe? Dear cousin, are you ready to face my revenge?”

He hasn’t killed his whole family now but in his past life, they all died because of him.

Who says grudges from a past life don’t count?

Ji Chenhao looked at Ji Anli in disbelief.

Was he crazy?

How could he dare to act like this in front of General Lin?

How could he expose such thoughts?

But seeing that General Lin didn’t show any unusual reaction and even continued to support him, the tension that had been building in Ji Chenhao’s mind all night finally snapped, “Ji, An, Li! You did it on purpose, didn’t you?!”

Ji Anli watched Lin Jing step forward, hearing Lin Jing’s support for him in every way then looked at Ji Chenhao who was now of no use, “So what if I did it on purpose?”

Bite me.

He then took a step back, pretending to be scared, “What do you want to do?”

His unlowered voice indeed attracted the guards who frowned at the two of them, “Mr. Ji, are they bothering you?”

The higher-ups had specifically instructed this time that Mr. Ji was a distinguished guest and should not be disturbed in any way.

Anyone else, as long as they weren’t royalty, could be offended.

Ji Anli sighed, his mood complicated and finally turned his head away.

Someone who couldn’t stand it and wanted to curry favor with the newly appointed SSS healer immediately stepped forward and explained how Ji Chenhao was angry at Mr. Ji because he was caught flirting with the earl’s grandson.

The guards immediately reported it. Soon after, they directly addressed Ji Chenhao and Wen Zhen, “Gentlemen, please.”

The implication being, should I escort you out or will you leave on your own?

Ji Chenhao was completely dumbfounded.

Leave?

How was he supposed to get close to Yiya?

Wen Zhen: What does this have to do with him?
