After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 36

A piercing pain shot through Qiao Yu’s entire body.

Especially the spine connecting her neck and back felt like it had drained all the strength from her, making it difficult to breathe.

An overwhelming flood of alpha scents invaded her senses.

A primal fear instinctively rose in her heart, and the fingertips clutching her formal gown trembled.

As if entranced by the alpha pheromones, a hot temperature slowly spread across her skin, making her entire body feel scalding.

Her dark eyes, glistening with moisture, blinked.

Her body craved something intensely.

A strange and unfamiliar sensation filled every part of her.

But a sliver of remaining sanity told Qiao Yu that she had to escape this place to protect herself.

The hotel, silent enough to hear a pin drop, erupted into chaos as the potent and alluring pheromones spread.

The dignified and gentlemanly alphas almost completely lost their minds, their eyes burning as they charged toward the weak omega.

Lu Shangyi instantly straightened her back, her face no longer calm and composed.

Before losing consciousness, Qiao Yu only saw several tall, well-built men rushing toward her.

These men didn’t have the terrifying scent of an alpha, but their presence was incredibly menacing, like fugitives on the run.

The hotel was in a state of pandemonium.

The Qiao family’s daughter suddenly differentiated and was then kidnapped in public.

Everything happened so fast that it felt like a dream she hadn’t fully woken up from.

Tang Shu stared, dumbfounded, at the chaotic scene for a long time before she could react.

Qiao Yu actually differentiated into an omega?!

An omega just like her?!

Well, isn’t that just fantastic!

The girl next to her suddenly moved.

Tang Shu instinctively grabbed her, her eyes full of caution.

“Where are you going?”

Meng E’s fair face was tense.

Hearing the question, she impatiently lifted her eyelids, her voice tinged with annoyance.

“Where else? Yu Yu was taken. I’m going to find her…”

“Do you know who took her? Do you know where she was taken? You’re a helpless omega, and you’re all alone. How are you going to find her?”

Tang Shu’s three questions in a row made Meng E stop and fall silent.

After a moment, Meng E looked up and softened her tone.

“Then help her.”

Tang Shu raised her eyebrows, looking confused.

“Why would I help her? I’m too happy to even think about it.”

Tang Shu’s smile widened. In the past, Qiao Yu had bullied her so many times with her alpha status.

Now, seeing her fall in front of so many important people was truly justice from heaven!

She brushed a long strand of hair from her cheek and thought gleefully,

Let’s see how arrogant she can be now.

She was happily lost in her thoughts until the omega’s slightly tearful voice pulled her back to reality.

“Tang Shu, please.”

The expression on Tang Shu’s face froze.

Her ears quickly turned red.

Somehow, she didn’t dare to look into Meng E’s teary eyes.

Tang Shu turned her face away and agreed with a frustrated frown.

“Alright, alright, stop crying. I’ll help you find her.”

Meng E breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”

Tang Shu heard her own heart beating faster and faster.

“Thank me for what? Even if I don’t help, Uncle Qiao and the others will find her even if they have to tear the place apart.”

She pointed to Ye Yunjian and Song Wanying, who had regained consciousness.

“And those two, do you really think the Ye and Song families are pushovers?”

She scanned the hotel and suddenly frowned.

“Where’s Lu Shangyi? I don’t see her.”

Meng E didn’t think much of it.

“Sister Lu is also an omega. She was probably scared by everyone’s pheromones and left early.”

Everyone knew Lu Shangyi was frail. In all that chaos, to ensure her safety, the Lu family must have arranged for her to avoid the situation immediately to prevent her from being affected.

Tang Shu’s eyes widened. “That makes some sense.”

Qiao Yu had a dream.

She dreamed that someone was gently pressing on her, their hot breath kissing her neck.

The person’s movements weren’t gentle. An occasional sharp pain came from the back of her neck, making her frown uncomfortably.

Qiao Yu tried to raise her hand to push the person away, but she was easily subdued.

She was held tightly, unable to move.

The person took advantage of her helplessness, intensifying their kisses on the side of her neck and her shoulders.

She couldn’t resist and was forced to make gestures to please the other person.

In her closeness, she smelled a faint scent of sandalwood on the person, but she didn’t know anyone who had that scent.

She frowned and tried to think, but due to her physical discomfort, her consciousness was in and out.

Qiao Yu tried hard to open her eyes, but her arm suddenly felt a needle-like pain.

Then, a cool substance was slowly injected into her body, systematically suppressing the heat inside her.

The top floor of the hospital was heavily guarded.

A formidable bodyguard stood every five steps, scaring away all the curious and prying eyes.

Mrs. Qiao arrived at the hospital with red-rimmed eyes, no longer caring about the etiquette and image she usually held so dear.

The first thing she asked when she saw her daughter on the hospital bed was, “Yu Yu, was she marked?”

“No,” the familiar doctor replied.

Her tense nerves immediately relaxed.

Mrs. Qiao then realized that her entire back was drenched in sweat.

She pursed her pale lips and quickly regained her usual composed demeanor.

“Thank you.”

Then, she changed the subject.

“Has the person who brought Yu Yu left?”

The doctor nodded.

“They left a long time ago.”

He added, “But the person who brought Yu Yu was a beta bodyguard.”

A beta bodyguard?

Mrs. Qiao frowned.

Qiao Yu’s differentiation was so sudden that the hotel’s bodyguards didn’t have time to react.

And most of the hotel’s bodyguards were alphas, so they must have been affected.

Mrs. Qiao calmly nodded.

“Thank you for your trouble.”

After the unnecessary people in the room left, Mrs. Qiao hesitated for a long time before calling the psychologist she had chosen in advance.

After she got the new genetic report, she had been worried that her daughter wouldn’t be able to accept the truth easily. Her Yu Yu was full of pride.

Mrs. Qiao couldn’t help but worry about her psychological state if she one day found out she was an omega.

Although she had doubts about the contradictory test results, the test sheet showed that she was her biological daughter, so maybe the agency just made a mistake in the test results back then.

Just like with Lu Shangyi.

Gently tucking Qiao Yu in, Mrs. Qiao thought, It’s not bad that she differentiated into an omega.

At least she’ll have many more options for marriage.

This big city lacks a lot of things, but it’s not lacking in alphas.

The Song, Ye, and Bai families she was fond of, which alpha from those families wasn’t powerful enough to cover the sky with one hand?

If Qiao Yu could choose any one of them, she would be at ease.

Whether it was Ye Yunjian, Song Wanying, or Bai Yiyu, none of them were people who would bully a little girl.

Qiao Yu felt like she had been sleeping for a long, long time.

The first thing she remembered when she regained consciousness was that she had differentiated.

With an excited heart, she opened her eyes, only to see Tang Shu’s disappointing face.

Her smile instantly dropped.

Qiao Yu stared at her expressionlessly.

“What are you doing here?”

Tang Shu turned around when she heard her voice, her expression very excited.

Meng E quickly pulled her, but she couldn’t stop her.

Then, Tang Shu’s slightly crazy and excited voice rang out in the quiet hospital room.

“Qiao Yu, do you know? Today, you differentiated into an omega in front of everyone!”

“An omega! Not an alpha! Not a beta! But a delicate and helpless omega just like Meng E and me!”

Qiao Yu: “???”

An omega?!

How could she, an alpha, differentiate into an omega?!

She instinctively turned to Meng E for an answer.

Meng E forced a smile and slowly nodded.

“She’s telling the truth.”

Meng E was worried that Qiao Yu couldn’t handle the shock, so she quickly added,

“Yu Yu, I think differentiating into an alpha or an omega is the same. Don’t do anything rash.”

Tang Shu couldn’t hide her happiness.

Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Qiao Yu and impatiently interrupted.

“Qiao Yu, you differentiated into an omega just like me, are you happy? Are you excited? Do you feel very joyful?”

Qiao Yu: “…”

I’ve never been so speechless in my life.

She doesn’t know if she’s happy, but Tang Shu seems to be.

She’s completely lost herself to her glee.

She stretched her legs and said calmly, “It’s alright. I’m not that disappointed.”

The smile on Tang Shu’s face instantly froze. “?”

“You’re not sad?”

She widened her eyes in disbelief.

“How can you not be sad? You used to tell everyone you were an alpha, but now you’re…”

She paused and stared at her.

“I know. You’re pretending to be okay in front of me.”

Qiao Yu and her had always been at odds.

Even if she was disappointed, she wouldn’t show it in front of her, especially after losing face in such a big event as differentiation.

A bright smile returned to her face.

Tang Shu slowly walked to Qiao Yu’s hospital bed and sat down.

Like a showy flower, she looked her up and down.

“Fate is truly wonderful, isn’t it?”

She tried to see any unusual emotions in Qiao Yu’s eyes, but no matter how long she stared, the other person remained calm and composed, showing no sign of sadness.

She pursed her lips in disbelief and continued to stare at her for a minute, then another, as if her eyes were glued to her.

Qiao Yu smiled at Tang Shu’s stare.

“Tang Shu, you’re so happy that I differentiated into an omega…”

She squinted her clear eyes and suddenly smiled flirtatiously.

“And you say you don’t like me.”

“If you don’t like me, why are you so happy?”

Qiao Yu covered her chest with her hand in a dramatic display of emotion.

“You even broke up with your ex for me, Tang Shu.”

She grabbed Tang Shu’s hand.

“I had no idea you loved me so crazily and recklessly.”

Tang Shu quickly pulled her hand away and moved away from her in frustration.

“Stop spouting nonsense.”

“Why would I, an omega, like a woman who’s just like me?”

Tang Shu was so angry that her ears were red.

She opened her mouth to speak, but Qiao Yu interrupted her again.

“Tang Shu, your face is all red from embarrassment. And you still won’t admit it.”

Tang Shu was not a smooth talker and couldn’t win the argument.

She couldn’t stand being so wronged, so she stormed off in a huff.

Meng E rubbed her temples, watching the two immature people.

She shook her head and walked toward Qiao Yu with a concerned voice.

“Yu Yu, are you really okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Qiao Yu blinked.

“Why wouldn’t I be? I’m doing great.”

Meng E was still worried, but Qiao Yu said she was thirsty and wanted some hot water.

So Meng E had to get up and go get water for her.

As soon as Meng E left, Qiao Yu immediately covered her mouth to stop herself from crying too loudly.

“System, I’ve become an omega.”

Her voice was full of grief, which made the system’s heart ache.

It quickly comforted her, “It’s okay, Host. Omegas in this world are like endangered species. They’re much more valuable than alphas. So from now on, you can do whatever you want. As long as you don’t break the law, you are the law.”

Qiao Yu was still fake crying, so the system quickly added, “Host, look on the bright side. There are alphas everywhere here. Don’t you want to live a life surrounded by alphas?”

The woman, who was crying as if her heart was broken, stopped her tears in an instant.

“!”

Why didn’t she think of that?

Qiao Yu was no longer sad. She was even looking forward to her life after differentiation.

The system looked at her eager expression and suddenly felt like it had said something wrong.

It silently sweated for all the alphas in the capital and thought guiltily, It really wasn’t on purpose.

Although the star of the show had left, the hotel’s birthday party was still going on, but few people were in the mood to eat the Qiao family’s dinner.

After learning that Qiao Yu had been sent to the hospital, Mrs. Qiao hurried over to see her and then returned.

When she and Qiao Jinghuai appeared in front of everyone again, they were composed and showed no signs of worry or panic.

Some people came to congratulate them, their words full of probing questions.

Mrs. Qiao’s expression didn’t change as she handled the people who had their own agenda.

She didn’t reveal any information.

Mrs. Qiao remained silent about how Qiao Yu was doing or who sent her to the hospital, acting as if the Qiao family had foreseen everything and arranged it all in advance.

Unable to see a spectacle, some people had no choice but to give up for now.

However, Second Aunt Qiao was overjoyed. Omegas in most prominent families don’t have inheritance rights, and Qiao Yu had just unexpectedly differentiated into an omega.

This meant that Big Brother and Sister-in-law could no longer openly favor Qiao Yu and leave all the company’s assets to her.

Although she only had one daughter, her daughter was older than Qiao Yu and had been working in the company for several years.

By the time Qiao Yu graduated and entered the company, her daughter would have already established a firm foothold.

Second Aunt Qiao thought smugly, Maybe Qiao Yu will have to rely on my daughter in the future.

Qiao Yu was no longer a threat in her eyes. Compared to Qiao Yu, Third Aunt Qiao’s son was clearly more of a threat.

However, to prevent any unforeseen accidents, she still had to first team up with Third Aunt Qiao and find a way to marry Qiao Yu off.

As long as Qiao Yu was married, her Jingjing would have one less strong competitor, and she would only have to focus on dealing with that brat Qiao Junhao.

Second Aunt Qiao’s plan was good, but Third Aunt Qiao was very proud and was indifferent to her suggestions.

She had no intention of cooperating. Second Aunt Qiao gritted her teeth. What’s there to be so proud of? Just because she gave birth to a son?

She couldn’t help but think maliciously, Let’s see what she’ll do if Qiao Yu doesn’t get married.

Omegas are a rare species. Almost all omegas from prominent families have their marriages set quickly after they differentiate.

Since Qiao Yu differentiated in front of so many important people today, there were naturally many people trying to form connections.

Mrs. Qiao was immediately surrounded by the other rich ladies.

Ye Yunjian swirled the wine in her glass, her cold face unreadable.

Before, the little girl kept saying she was the “number one fierce alpha in the capital,” and her tone was so confident and certain that she never doubted it.

But who would have thought that…

Ye Yunjian’s lips curved into a subtle arc, and she shook her head gently. The little girl fooled everyone in the capital with her mouth.

Looking at Song Wanying, who was equally confused and in disbelief, Ye Yunjian immediately felt a sense of balance.

They were all in the same boat. No one had a head start.

Before, she had no real intentions toward Qiao Yu because she was an alpha, but now that the person had differentiated right in front of her, wouldn’t it be a shame to just let her go?

Thinking of the pitiful and endearing expression the other person had whenever she made a mistake, Ye Yunjian tilted her head back and downed the wine in her glass.

Such a small thing would be fun to have, even if she just kept her at home every day.

Song Wanying never thought Qiao Yu would lie, especially about something as important as differentiation.

She stopped Jiang Mei, who was about to leave. She squinted, and her voice had no extra emotion.

“Did she lie to you, too?”

Jiang Mei stopped.

Her eyes were unwavering as she looked back at Song Wanying.

Jiang Mei had always trusted Qiao Yu and never once doubted her. In fact, she thought Qiao Yu never intended to lie.

It was more likely that she was also misled by the wrong test results. After a moment, Jiang Mei gently defended Qiao Yu.

“She wouldn’t lie.”

“Even if she sometimes talks nonsense, she never intended to lie to anyone.”

If Qiao Yu had known the result beforehand, her expression wouldn’t have been so confused and helpless, so heartbreaking.

Song Wanying’s expression was unusually twisted. Talking nonsense isn’t lying?

I’ve seen blind trust, but I’ve never seen such blind trust.

Having no interest in continuing to talk to Jiang Mei, Song Wanying turned around.

Her eyes, full of wariness, were on the formidable and seemingly unapproachable Ye Yunjian.

Ye Yunjian noticed her stare and looked back, a knowing smile on her red lips.

May the best one win. It’s sink or swim.

A scent of gunpowder spread in the air. Bai Yiyu watched the two people on the verge of a confrontation and suddenly thought, A newly adult child isn’t so bad after all.

She had vaguely heard that Qiao Yu was involved with Ye Yunjian, Song Wanying, and Lu Shangyi at the same time, but…

It’s better to be on time than to be early.

Fate is truly wonderful.

The little girl purposely provoked her, so of course, she wouldn’t let her go.

Qiao Yu’s phone kept ringing. She picked it up and looked at it.

Besides her list of friends, the “Capital City Omega Daughters” group was the most lively.

A group of girls, who loved to watch drama, were frantically summoning her.

“Sister, the number one fierce alpha in the capital, congratulations on joining the omega family!”

“Sister, the number one fierce alpha in the capital, you should change your name. What do you think of ‘Stunning Soft Omega’?”

“No, no, ‘The Capital’s Number One Soft Omega’ sounds better.”

“Sister, the number one fierce alpha in the capital, wake up, you’ve become a zero.jpg.”

Qiao Yu stared at the screen with an expressionless face.

“…”

My harem has become my sisters.

That’s ridiculous.

Changing her WeChat name to “Capital City Rich and Beautiful Girl” was her last bit of stubbornness.

She would die before admitting that she was the “Capital’s Number One Soft Omega.” That title clearly belonged to Lu Shangyi.

Meng E had also been added to the group by Tang Shu two days ago.

After reading the messages, she was a little worried.

“Yu Yu, do you know what you are now?”

Qiao Yu’s eyes were wary. Meng E spoke to herself.

“You’re a hot commodity, like a piece of Monk Tang’s flesh.”

Given the Qiao family’s status and Qiao Yu’s beauty, there was bound to be a storm of blood in the future. Thinking of all the harassment Qiao Yu would face, Meng E couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

“But don’t worry. As long as you’re careful, you won’t be easily kidnapped and marked.”

Some alphas had no morals or conscience. They would use force to imprison omegas for their own entertainment.

The physically weak omegas had no way to resist a much stronger alpha, especially since Qiao Yu’s differentiation was so public.

Meng E was about to say a few more words of concern when she saw Qiao Yu’s ears twitch.

“Alpha? Where are the alphas who want to kidnap me?”

Her dark eyes were wide. Her expression was like a dirty old man looking at a young girl, which made Meng E not know what to say.

Meng E paused and changed her approach to teach Qiao Yu about omega self-protection.

“Yu Yu, what would you do if one day an ill-intentioned alpha kidnapped us?”

Meng E looked at Qiao Yu expectantly. Qiao Yu furrowed her brows and hesitated for a long time.

“Then…”

Meng E quickly encouraged her with her eyes to continue, but then she heard Qiao Yu say, “You go first?”

“…”

Meng E got up to organize the supplements Mrs. Qiao had sent.

Qiao Yu then got up and stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself.

Her differentiation didn’t affect her appearance, but her physical fitness had declined significantly.

Maybe it was because she had just woken up, but she felt exhausted after only two steps.

She closed her eyes and didn’t pay much attention to it.

The system could make adjustments, so it wasn’t a problem.

She ran her hand through her hair and accidentally touched the back of her neck, which made her gasp in pain. Qiao Yu quickly moved her hair aside.

Through the two mirrors in the bathroom, she saw that her gland and the skin around it were red and swollen.

Her heart sank.

Was she not dreaming earlier?

Qiao Yu walked out in a daze.

She said to Meng E in a very serious tone, “E-E, I think a beastly alpha licked me raw while I was unconscious.”

Lu Shangyi, who had just reached the door, stopped.

Meng E was shocked. She quickly said, “Where? Let me see?”

Listening to the two omegas in the room angrily denounce the so-called “beast,” Lu Shangyi raised her hand and knocked on the door.

“You’re awake.”

Qiao Yu and Meng E both stopped talking and turned to look at Lu Shangyi.

Meng E knew the two had something to say, so she discreetly left the room and stood guard outside. Watching the door slowly close, Lu Shangyi put down the gift box in her hand.

“Feeling better now?”

“Yes, much better.”

Qiao Yu’s feelings toward Lu Shangyi were very complicated at this moment.

She had always seen Lu Shangyi as her future wife, but now…

Although she regretted it, Qiao Yu had to painfully give up.

“Sister Lu, I’m sorry.”

The little girl scrunched up her delicate nose.

“I can’t give you happiness anymore. I differentiated into an omega.”

Lu Shangyi’s lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile.

An omega? I like that even more.

“Don’t overthink it,” she said calmly. “Just rest well…”

Before she could finish, Meng E knocked on the door and cautiously poked her head inside. “Yu Yu, Sister Song is here.”

Song Wanying?

Qiao Yu’s eyes lit up.

“Please, let her in.”

The little girl’s attitude was so enthusiastic, a world away from how she acted toward her.

Lu Shangyi’s face curved into a meaningful smile as she looked at her.

Qiao Yu suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Noticing Lu Shangyi’s expression, she quickly cleared her throat and tried her best to act with the modesty an omega should have.

Song Wanying saw the woman with an unreadable expression.

She did not let her guard down.

Song Wanying looked at Lu Shangyi with a fake smile.

“You got here early.”

Lu Shangyi calmly looked up. “You’re not late.”

Just as the two were about to start bickering, Meng E knocked on the door again and poked her head in.

“Yu Yu, Auntie Ye is here, too.”

Qiao Yu looked at Song Wanying, then at Lu Shangyi.

Not daring to be too flamboyant, she swallowed and felt a deep sense of guilt.

“I’ll call and have them bring up another chair.”

Ye Yunjian and Song Wanying left one after the other.

She wasn’t surprised to see Song Wanying, but Lu Shangyi…

Ye Yunjian slightly raised her eyebrows, the meaning in her deep eyes unreadable.

Qiao Yu finished the call and turned around, forcing a brave smile.

“Auntie Ye, Sister Song, Sister Lu, please sit down.”

There weren’t enough chairs, so she offered her hospital bed to Lu Shangyi and then carefully sat next to her.

She unconsciously moved closer to her, as if only then could she find a bit of false security.

Even Meng E outside the door felt the atmosphere was creepy.

Just as she was about to sneak away, she saw a gentle and seemingly easygoing woman walking over with long legs.

She instantly recognized her.

Bai Yiyu.

She couldn’t help but take a step back.

Meng E braced herself and opened the door again.

This time, even she spoke in a cautious tone.

“Yu Yu, Auntie Bai is here to see you, too.”

Qiao Yu froze.

“Auntie Bai? Which Auntie Bai?”

She didn’t remember knowing any Auntie Bai.

In response, she was met with the dangerous gazes of the three women.

You’re asking us about the person you provoked?
