All Chapters of Leave Me Alone Alphas: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Lu Chen spent the entire morning staring at the ceiling of his tiny bedroom, his brain a tangled mess of Professor Gu Yan’s sandalwood scent and the lingering thrill of their conversation at the bar. Every time he closed his eyes, he heard Gu Yan’s low voice whispering in his ear: “Ask me your next question another time.”"I'm straight," Lu Chen grumbled into his pillow, punching the mattress. "I'm a straight, broke, miserable man."A sudden loud laugh echoed from the living room, accompanied by the clatter of kitchenware.Lu Chen sat up, frowning. He pulled on an oversized shirt and padded out into the hallway.Standing near the small dining table was Lu Xi, looking happier and brighter than she had in weeks. Beside her stood a tall, friendly-looking guy with broad shoulders and a warm smile, wearing a college track jacket. He was currently carrying a heavy box of art supplies toward Lu Xi’s bedroom."Oh! Lu Chen, you're awake!" Lu Xi said, beaming as she gestured toward the guy. "Th

Lu Chen spent the entire afternoon at his coffee shop job in a state of absolute, existential ruin.Every time he closed his eyes, his brain replayed two horrific, vivid memories in rapid succession: Professor Gu Yan’s icy, sensual smirk in the back of that car, and the sheer, terrifying anatomical scale of Xie Huai’s bare morning wood.I am straight, Lu Chen repeated internally, slamming a bag of coffee beans onto the shelf. I am a 100% straight man who just happens to be surrounded by hyper-attracting male perverts.By 10:00 PM, he had dragged his exhausted body to The Velvet Lounge for his night shift. The low crimson lighting was dim, the jazz was soft, and the atmosphere was thick with heavy velvet shadows.Lu Chen was wiping down a polished rosewood table in the back corridor when a cool, slender hand suddenly reached out from behind a heavy velvet curtain, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him effortlessly into a private VIP booth."Woah—!" Lu Chen gasped, stumbling into the dark b

The silence in the grand foyer was so dense you could cut it with a butter knife.Lu Chen stood glued to the marble tile, his hands clutching the front of his maid apron so tightly his knuckles turned white. On his left stood Xie Huai—radiating a sharp, arrogant aura that could wither a field of crops. On his right stood Professor Gu Yan—calm, composed, and smiling with a subtle, predatory warmth that made Lu Chen’s knees turn into porridge."Professor Gu," Xie Huai said first, his voice dripping with cool, executive politeness that sounded entirely fake. "I didn't realize the faculty sent senior lecturers to deliver grant paperwork in person.""When the foundation in question belongs to the Xie Corporation, Mr. Xie, special care is required," Gu Yan replied smoothly, unbuttoning his dark trench coat and draping it over his arm. His dark eyes flicked over to Lu Chen, lingering on the boy's slightly swollen lower lip before rising back to Xie Huai. "Though I must admit... I was equally

By 8:00 PM, the grand ballroom of the Grand Hyatt was blinding. Crystal chandeliers dripped from gold-leaf ceilings, casting warm light over sea of tailored tuxedos, silk gowns, and the city’s most powerful elites.Lu Chen tugged uncomfortably at the stiff collar of his dark velvet suit."Stop fidgeting," Xie Huai murmured beside him, adjusting his immaculate platinum cufflink. Xie Huai looked unfairly breathtaking—his dark hair styled back, his bespoke suit fitting his broad shoulders like a second skin. "I paid two thousand dollars for that suit. Don't ruin the lines.""I look like a dressed-up waiter," Lu Chen hissed back under his breath, glaring at the champagne flutes passing by on silver trays. "Why did you bring me to a high-society charity gala anyway? I'm supposed to be cleaning your baseboards!""You're my personal assistant tonight," Xie Huai said smoothly, his hand dropping casually to rest at the small of Lu Chen’s back, a firm, possessive weight that made heat shoot str

The morning after the gala felt like walking through a minefield lined with silk.Lu Chen stood in the penthouse kitchen, aggressively scrambling eggs while his phone vibrated against the marble counter. It was a text from Lu Xi.Lu Xi: Ming made pancakes! When are you coming back to pick up your laundry? Also, why haven't I heard from you in months? Is something happening, shall I come down there to investigate?!Lu Chen’s thumb froze over the screen. He squeezed his eyes shut, letting out a long, silent scream into the air.If she finds out I'm living in a billionaire's penthouse as a maid to pay off a ruined suit while getting harassed by two massive perverts, she'll kill me first, then Mom will come up from the village to finish the job.Mom was currently working fourteen hour shifts at the provincial tea farm just to keep their basic needs met. The mere thought of her calloused hands and weary smile made a lump form in Lu Chen's throat. He couldn't let either of them know how mes
