After I Wrongly Chose the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date!! - Chapter 39

Chapter 39 – Provoking People to Complete the Task

When the hovercraft that Ji Anli and the other person were riding in arrived at the palace gate, someone immediately came to greet them. It was President An who had been waiting there for a long time.

President An’s eyes lit up when he saw Ji Anli. He walked over quickly and said with a smile, “I heard that the old duke was lucky to have Mr. Ji on the starship, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to come back so easily this time. The higher-ups said that after this banquet, Mr. Ji must be rewarded.”

Ji Anli was in a good mood at the moment, and he wanted to know more about the guests at the banquet, so he walked inside with President An.

Although Lin Jing had been to the palace many times, he did not know much about these noble families. At most, he knew that there were such people by hearsay. If he wanted to know more clearly about the true character of these people, he had to see President An.

Sure enough, Ji Anli only needed to say that he was nervous because it was his first time attending such a large-scale palace banquet and he didn’t know if he would recognize the wrong person or say the wrong thing, and President An’s heart suddenly began to beat with love.

He imagined a lot of pitiful images of classmate Ji in the past. Classmate Ji had no mental strength before, and Professor Ji and his wife stayed in the laboratory and rarely went home. He was afraid that Ji Anli was bullied by his uncle Ji’s family. Look, he could even steal his ex-fiancé, so what else can’t he do?

The Ji family had never brought him to the palace before. Were they afraid that Ji Anli’s outstanding appearance would steal the limelight? President An know how much he had suffered in the Ji family before.

After thinking about it, President An felt even more pity for Ji Anli, and listed all the noble families who came to the banquet this time, from the highest to the lowest, except for the Lin family and the Ji family.

One of these two families is Ji Anli’s relative, and the other is Admiral Lin’s relative. They must be familiar with these two families, so there is no need to introduce them in detail.

Ji Anli took the opportunity to ask about the situations of several unfamiliar people of the same age, and when he was almost done, he asked about the Earl’s grandson Jeff, without arousing the suspicion of President An.

President An was afraid that Ji Anli might accidentally offend this person, so he explained everything in detail: “You really asked the right person about this matter. My family is somewhat related to the Earl’s family by marriage, and we visit each other often. As for Jeff, except for being a little timid and having no mental power, he is good in every way. Especially, although he has no mental power, he is quite talented in scientific research. He is as old as you. Speaking of which, Jeff originally wanted to be a student of your father, but unfortunately Professor Ji is too busy. However, Jeff still admires your father. Oh, by the way, his heart is not very good. Because he has no mental power, he usually keeps a low profile. The outside world pays more attention to his eldest brother and several cousins, but… in the heart of the old Earl, he is like the apple of his eye.”

Ji Anli nodded as he listened, and he had a clear idea in his mind. The book was written from Ji Chenhao’s perspective, so there would definitely be deviations. In addition, Ji Chenhao’s character would beautify the presented perspective a lot. Therefore, in the plot, Jeff flirting with Yi Ya and accidentally being pushed into the fountain pool might not have been really as simple as it seems in the novel.

President An brought Ji Anli and Lin Jing to the banquet hall. Feeling reluctant, President An told Lin Jing to take good care of Ji Anli before being called away by others.

Although Admiral Lin seemed to have a good relationship with Ji, he was actually a cold person. Would he know when to be cold or warm? The older Omega was really worried about him.

Lin Jing finally stood beside Ji Anli, exhaled lightly, and looked at Ji Anli’s profile, wondering what he was thinking. Lin Jing thought to himself that had he known everything about all the noble families in the First Star, he would have been the one who was whispering and being particularly close to Ji Anli along the way.

Unfortunately, when his partner asked him questions, he could only give sporadic information, and Ji Anli had to ask others in a roundabout way.

After Ji Anli figured it out, he raised his eyes and looked around. Most of the faces were unfamiliar, but a few of them made him feel good. All those who were supposed to come had come, and his mission was secured.

President An was overthinking that he had never been to the palace before. He had never been bullied in the Ji family before. After all, his father was the head of the family and everybody was especially kind to him. This was also the reason why Ji Anli never doubted in his previous life that his uncle Ji’s family would suddenly be so cruel to him.

As for why he didn’t go to the palace to attend the banquet, one reason was that he was in poor health, and the other reason was that he was already engaged and didn’t like this kind of socializing, so he listened to his parents’ advice and never went to the palace.

Ji Anli and Lin Jing were the most popular figures besides the newly found Duke’s son during this period, but they were too low-key. They didn’t get any attention before because one didn’t have mental power and the other had an orc defect. Now, the two of them appeared in the same noble white suits, and the absolute impact of their looks made everyone present hold their breath.

In the past, they knew that Admiral Lin was good-looking, but every time they saw him, he was cold and aloof. Although he was still cold at this moment, standing next to the young man with exquisite appearance, his whole person seemed to be tinged with worldly air. Not only did it not reduce the other person’s charm, but it made him more down-to-earth and more eye-catching.

But what’s even more outstanding is Ji Anli beside him. His appearance is even better than the previously leaked photos. It seemed that this amazing person is real and exists in the wild.

Ah, what on earth was the Ji family doing before? They actually hid such a top-notch Omega, and treated Ji Chenhao as a hot commodity?

Especially Wen Zhen, who mistook a pearl for a fish eye and threw it away? Was he crazy? He must be regretting it now.

Wen Zhen was indeed regretting like crazy. He knew Ji Anli would attend the banquet, so he arrived early and even put on his best suit. Before coming, he thought of Ji Anli’s previous sarcasm towards him, and thought that he would just take a look, and if the other person was not doing well… But when he really saw the other party, he felt as if his heart was stabbed by someone.

Ji Chenhao next to him felt as if he had difficulty breathing, especially when he attended banquets in the past, he was the one who attracted the most attention. As a result, now all of this was replaced by another person, and the attention he received was even more enthusiastic than before.

Wen Zhen stared at the pair walking together not far away. Admiral Lin even deliberately wore the same clothes as An Li. Did he do it on purpose? Was he deliberately showing off that he got his people?

Thinking that Ji Anli was willing to let Lin Jing mark him, jealousy was about to drive Wen Zhen crazy. Thinking of what Ji Chenhao had told him at the hospital not long ago, he turned his head and stared at Ji Chenhao with a pair of eyes burning with jealousy.

“Didn’t you say that he couldn’t possibly come back alive? What happened? Not only did he survive, he also brought that young master back and made a great contribution! I heard that the old marshal didn’t hold him back from getting promoted this time. Maybe he can get another promotion. Do you know what this means?”

The gap between them would become even bigger, which made him feel more uncomfortable than killing him. His love rival kept rising in power, but he could only look up at him!

Ji Chenhao lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking: “Didn’t you hear? He was originally unable to come back, but unfortunately your sweetheart used his healing power to save the old duke. If you want to blame someone, shouldn’t you blame him?”

Wen Zhen sneered: “We are talking about Lin Jing dying, not the old duke.”

Ji Chenhao raised his eyes and looked at the idiot with mockery. The biggest mistake was that the old duke was alive, otherwise all the plans would go on as usual, he would successfully hook up with the new duke, and his future wealth and glory would be limitless. He could still step on Ji Anli and become the focus of everyone’s attention again. Why did he fail in the end?

Ji Anli met the gaze of Wen Zhen and Ji Chenhao, and instead of getting angry, he smiled, revealing an exceptionally gentle smile, which was completely different from his previous attitude. Wen Zhen, who had originally been afraid to step forward for fear of embarrassing himself at the banquet, became more interested. ‘Anli looked at me, was he no longer angry? Did he forgive me? Could we still be friends?’

Ji Chenhao took a step back cautiously. Why was he smiling so hard? Why did he smile so hard that his hair became so shabby?

Lin Jing frowned and looked over with displeasure, his eyes dark. The next moment, he was suddenly hugged by the arm. Ji Anli was next to him, smiling at him and lowering his voice: “I’m not familiar with this kind of scene. Will you stay with me tonight?”

If Lin Jing ran away on the way, his 12,000 touch points would be gone.

Lin Jing’s whole body froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. He lowered his eyes to look at the light in Ji Anli’s eyes, and said in a soft voice, “Yes.”

How could he bear to leave him alone in these wolves’ den that have long been infiltrated by the aristocratic families and put profit above all else?

Ji Anli felt better after getting a positive answer. The scene of the two of them looking at each other and smiling hurt many people’s eyes. Finally, Wen Zhen’s restless heart couldn’t help it. He couldn’t bear it anymore. He didn’t want to see them so close at all. He wanted to break this scene.

Ji Chenhao frowned and looked around absentmindedly. He had more important things to do tonight. As long as he completed it, he would have caught that person. As for Ji Anli, let him be proud for a while. Besides, tonight was a palace banquet and there were high-level spies everywhere. Now these people were protecting Ji Anli closely and he didn’t want to get into trouble.

But just as this thought came to his mind, his arm was suddenly pulled with great force. He looked up and found that Wen Zhen was actually dragging him directly towards Ji Anli.

Ji Chenhao wanted to shake off his hand, but this was a banquet hall and they were an engaged couple. He was so angry that he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: “What are you doing?”

Wen Zhen’s force was more powerful, fearing that Ji Chenhao would run away. If he went alone, he would definitely be scolded, but if they went together to ask for the other party’s forgiveness and make peace, no one would stop him, and Ji Chenhao had to go.

Wen Zhen’s eyes were still fixed on the front: “I don’t want to see them being so nice. You’re with me. He just smiled at me. He must have forgiven me.”

Ji Chenhao: “Do you think it’s possible? Is he smiling? He must be trying to seduce you and embarrass you in public. Let me go, I won’t go.”

After a few times, Wen Zhen still couldn’t see clearly that the person in front of him was not the little white rabbit that was easy to bully before. This was a black-hearted mad dog with sesame filling, biting whoever he saw.

Wen Zhen gritted his teeth and said, “No, you will go with me.”

Ji Chenhao had already seen Jeff, and his eyes lit up instantly, but he couldn’t break free at all, and he didn’t want to attract too much attention: “Are you sick? If you want to go, go by yourself.”

As a result, Wen Zhen didn’t reply to him this time. He directly dragged him in front of Ji Anli. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say and could only look at Ji Anli.

Almost the moment he appeared, Lin Jing’s brows furrowed. When they came over here, Lin Jing had even planned to have someone stop them first, but Ji Anli secretly held his arm, and shook his head when he looked at him.

Lin Jing then suppressed the urge to beat someone up, and stared at Wen Zhen, who was walking over with his partner, as if he were a dead person.

Ji Anli had been keeping an eye on Ji Chenhao, so naturally he did not miss the glance he just gave him. As soon as he came in, he lowered his voice and asked where Jeff was. Lin Jing had already whispered to him.

The direction Ji Chenhao just looked in was the Earl’s little grandson, Jeff.

So Ji Chenhao is planning to use Jeff’s death to get hold of Yi Ya?

But that was the Earl’s grandson, and Ji Chenhao didn’t have that much ability, unless… someone wanted the Earl to lose this most important grandson? And control the Duke’s son like a puppet. In the book, Ji Chenhao was just the beneficiary pushed out.

Ji Anli tried to test him intentionally. Seeing Ji Chenhao frowning and forcing a smile, he spoke with curiosity and gossip: “You two went through so many things to get engaged. You’re not going to call it quits, are you?”

Ji Chenhao felt a lump in his chest, thinking of the people around him looking at him: “How could it be? Are you still angry with us?”

Ji Anli: “Really? But why were you staring at the Earl’s grandson just now? You’re not looking for a new fiancé because you think Wen Zhen is kicked out of the Wen family and you don’t like him, so you want to change your fiancé, right?”

Ji Chenhao’s scalp was exploding, and he subconsciously denied it, and he couldn’t suppress his anger: “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

Lin Jing frowned and immediately took a step forward, protecting Ji Anli behind him. His eyes were gloomy and he stared at Ji Chenhao coldly.

Ji Anli was smiling the whole time, especially when he heard the “ding dong” sound of completing an item in his mind, his smile became more meaningful and unpredictable. The next moment, he added fuel to the fire by smiling at Ji Chenhao: “Are you angry because your heart was touched? Otherwise, why would you, a man with a fiancé, stare at an unmarried Alpha? Do you just think he is good-looking?”
