All Chapters of Leave Me Alone Alphas: Chapter 71 - Chapter 78

The past three months had been a relentless storm, slowly breaking the edges of their life together, like waves on a weak beach. Zhao Kai, ensnared in a vicious legal tangle, had been accused of assaulting a man who later sued for a fat payout. It was all a big misunderstanding, but truth meant little when greed and rivalry fueled the fire. His business adversaries pounced, prolonging the ordeal with every dirty trick in their arsenal. Liu Jian, Zhao Kai's steadfast attorney and lover, buried himself in the fight. He unearthed irrefutable evidence of innocence from witness statements to surveillance footage and even alibis that shattered the lies but the case dragged on for a grueling ninety days, each hearing a fresh blade twisted in their backs. Yang Jun, meanwhile, was drowning in corporate chaos. The company's stock plummeted like a stone in deep water, investors circling like sharks ready to bolt. The marketing teams—1, 2, and 3—were pushed to the brink, rotating shifts to cras

The gallery of the Fine Arts Department was suffocatingly bright and smelled of expensive perfume, freshly cured oil paint, and pretension.Lu Chen kept his head low, hunching his broad shoulders to make himself look smaller inside the tight pink student uniform. Every time the hem of the skirt brushed against his bare knees, a cold shiver of humiliation ran up his spine.Just find table four, get the canvas, sign Lu Xi’s name, and get the hell out, he repeated like a mantra, adjusting the itchy black wig tucked behind his ears.He spotted the registration desk near the grand archway. Standing beside a tall display easel was a man in his late twenties, dressed in a sleek, charcoal-grey turtleneck and a beige trench coat. Even from behind, the man practically exuded an air of icy, unreachable elegance. His dark hair was meticulously styled, revealing a pale, sharp jawline.That must be Professor Gu Yan, Lu Chen thought, remembering his sister’s endless rants about her strictly aloof, t

The air inside the university’s administrative hallway was cold, quiet, and thick with tension.Lu Xi stood in front of the private office door, her fingers clutching a small, worn bankbook so tightly her knuckles had turned white. Her chest heaved with every shaky breath. Beside her, Lu Chen hovered like a restless guard, his hoodie pulled low over his forehead as he kept a sharp eye on the empty corridor."Lu Chen, go home," Lu Xi whispered urgently, glaring at him through her swollen, red-rimmed eyes. "If Mr. Xie Huai sees you here, everything is going to explode!""I'm not leaving you alone with that rich lunatic," Lu Chen gritted out, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. "I told you, I'll handle him.""Handle him how? By calling him another animal?!" Lu Xi hissed, slapping his arm away. "This is my academic future! I brought my savings passbook. I’ll apologize, give him what I have, and set up a monthly payment plan. Just shut up and let me talk!"Before Lu Chen could argue,

Lu Chen spent the rest of his shift hovering near the service bar like a skittish cat, keeping his distance from Booth 4. Every time he glanced in Professor Gu Yan's direction, his pulse spiked.Gu Yan wasn't alone for long.About an hour before closing, a tall, imposing man with broad shoulders, dark skin, and a formidable build—Zhao Lei—strode into the lounge. He moved with the quiet confidence of someone used to taking charge. Zhao Lei slid into Gu Yan’s booth without asking, leaning in close to whisper something into the professor’s ear.Lu Chen watched from behind a faux palm tree, squinting. Gu Yan didn't pull away. In fact, the icy professor leaned back, letting out a low, amused breath as Zhao Lei signaled the bartender for another round.By 2:00 AM, the lounge was emptying out. Lu Chen was wiping down a table near the glass doors when he saw Zhao Lei practically supporting Gu Yan out into the night air. The professor looked slightly flushed, his usual rigid posture softened b
