Chapter 101 If anyone dares to hurt him
The celebrities who came to the show, especially those sitting in the front row, mostly sat up straight with elegant posture, afraid that if they relaxed even slightly, they would be photographed in an unflattering way by cameras from who-knows-who.
Therefore, one person seemed out of place.
Unable to bear it any longer, Chu Zhao slapped the blond Alpha on the back, waking him up.
Ludwig slowly opened his eyes and said, "I wasn't asleep, I was just resting with my eyes closed."
A group of models dressed in avant-garde and daring outfits walked by, accompanied by upbeat music.
Chu Zhao said, his words tinged with unease, "You're resting with your eyes closed in this kind of environment?"
Ludwig looked up and glanced at him.
If it were before, he would have already snapped back.
But at this moment, he simply said in a slow voice, "I'm too tired."
Chu Zhao pursed her lips, looking at Ludwig's faint dark circles, which the makeup artist had helped to cover up during the styling process.
He's been spending every day with Ludwig lately and knows that Ludwig spends all his free time either in the lab or alone in his room.
"Now that we have a new inspiration, we have to seize it." Ludwig smiled. "I'm confident we can do it this time."
He created a 3S-class mecha, which impressed Chu Zhao and earned him praise...
Chu Zhao didn't laugh, but her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Don't stay up late tonight, go back and sleep."
Ludwig nodded obediently, then turned his gaze to the catwalk.
Chu Zhao could tell at a glance that he hadn't listened.
If they slept together, he could properly supervise Ludwig's rest.
The thought suddenly popped into his head, startling Chu Zhao so much that his face turned pale.

After the show, the venue returned to its initial bustling atmosphere, transforming into a large social space.
Many celebrities didn't rush to leave, but instead traveled around, catching up with old acquaintances and building new relationships.
Wen Shumu looked listless. Sitting with Wen Boshuang made him feel uncomfortable, and he just wanted to leave with Ling Suyu as soon as possible.
"Wait a minute." A crisp voice rang out, stopping Wen Shumu.
Wen Boshuang stood up, still forcing a smile, and looked at Ling Suyu: "Marshal, my brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we'd like to catch up alone."
Ling Suyu's expression darkened: "Do you two have any past to reminisce about?"
Wen Boxian's face stiffened slightly, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists, the stinging sensation of his nails digging into his flesh making it almost impossible for him to maintain his smile.
If it weren't for the cameras still rolling and his father's instructions to keep a low profile, he would have already turned against them.
Wen Shumu gently touched Ling Suyu's arm, his expression calm: "Okay."
Ling Suyu frowned: "Xiao Mu..."
Wen Shumu released his grip, stepped forward, and stared into Wen Boshuang's eyes: "There's a guest lounge over there, let's go there."
A dark glint flashed in Wen Boxian's eyes as she walked towards the lounge first.
Ling Suyu understood that Wen Shumu had his own plans, and seeing that he had made a decision, he did not try to stop him.
Just as he was about to reach the lounge, he stopped, took out something that looked like a button, and put it into Wen Shumu's pants pocket.
"Don't worry, I'm right outside the door," Ling Suyu said gently.
He will become Wen Shumu's shield, allowing him to do whatever he wants.
Wen Shumu subconsciously touched his pocket and revealed a gentle smile.
Of course, that smile vanished the moment he walked into the lounge alone and saw Wen Boxian.
Wen Boxian sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, her eyes gloomy and her expression arrogant, completely unlike the obedient Omega she had been watching the show earlier.
This is the true appearance of Wen Boshuang in Wen Shumu's memory.
"It's been over a year since we last met, and you've really grown quite capable, no longer taking me seriously at all." Wen Boxian's voice was icy.
Wen Shumu walked to the sofa furthest away from him and sat down, saying calmly, "Make a long story short."
His demeanor truly seemed to echo Wen Boshuang's words, even going a step further, as if he had never taken Wen Boshuang seriously.
"You're acting like this now only because you think you can ignore the Wen family and slander me with impunity because you have Marshal Ling backing you up." Wen Boshuang's features twisted. "Let me tell you, you'd better leave yourself a way out, otherwise, even if you beg to return to the Wen family in the future, I won't let Father let you come back."
Wen Shumu curled his lips into a smile, as if amused by his words: "That day will never come."
Wen Boshuang's anger felt like it was hitting cotton, with nowhere to vent, only making her rage burn even brighter.
He wore the purest white in the world, yet the words he uttered were incredibly vicious.
With no one around and only the two of them, Wen Boshuang, momentarily losing her temper, sneered, "Don't be so arrogant. Ling Suyu has done so many ruthless things to the nobles of the Imperial Star. Not only will the Wen family not let him go, but all the nobles will. How long he can live is still unknown."
Wen Shumu's expression finally changed slightly. He raised his chin slightly, his eyes looking down at him with a dark and lifeless gaze: "Say it again."
Wen Boshuang paused for a moment, seemingly startled by his gaze.
He actually sensed a hint of... murderous intent.
Wen Boxian swallowed hard. He absolutely could not show weakness in front of Wen Shumu. However, his body did not lie, and his words unconsciously carried a hint of fear, much weaker than before: "I said, you won't be smug for long."
Wen Shumu's gaze was deep, his fingers gently stroking the fabric in his pocket, where a small listening device was hidden, which Ling Suyu had just given him.
He knew Wen Boshuang was a loose can; she would blurt things out when she was in a hurry.
This means... Wenbin and his group are going to harm the older brother.
Wen Shumu slowly moved his right hand up and touched his left forearm.
There were whip marks there.
A cold glint flashed in his light brown eyes. If Wen Bin dared to harm his brother...
He would stop at nothing, even at the cost of his own life, to drag the Wen family down to hell.
An unfamiliar terminal ringtone sounded, and Wen Boshuang immediately smiled: "It's Father."
He answered the phone excitedly, as if he had found a powerful backer, then quickly put on a wronged expression: "Father, my brother has become so fierce, he's cold to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Bin interrupted him sharply: "Didn't I tell you to be careful with your words? Look at the mess you've made."
Wen Shumu sat to the side, taking in Wen Boshuang's "wonderful" change of expression, and found it all ridiculous and laughable.
Wen Boshuang was rarely treated so harshly by her father, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears: "I... I didn't do anything, I just chatted with my brother for a bit."
"Check the StarNet yourself." Wen Bin's expression was icy.
From his perspective, he hadn't yet noticed that Wen Shumu was also in the room.
Wen Shumu could roughly guess what the StarNet was discussing.
He sighed inwardly. Wasn't Wen Bin the one who doted on Wen Boshuang the most? But as soon as his own interests were touched, this head of the noble family would turn ruthless.
That's disgusting.
He watched as Wen Boshuang frantically launched the StarNet, and in addition to Wen Bin's figure, a projection of the StarNet interface appeared in the air.
Wen Shumu looked at the projection screen, watching the news messages that kept appearing on it.
There are many reports about tonight's opening show, but even more are speculations about his relationship with Wen Boshuang.
The feuds and grudges among noble families have always been a favorite pastime for the public.
