After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 47

Ye Yunjian stopped her actions, her eyes so dark they seemed ready to swallow Qiao Yu whole.

After a moment, she finally straightened her back and slowly moved away.

She helped Qiao Yu sit down on the single sofa nearby.

Ye Yunjian narrowed her eyes and looked at her flushed face, feeling that something wasn’t right.

“Are you still in heat?”

The hoarse voice sounded low by her ear.

Qiao Yu was so uncomfortable that she couldn’t think too much, and she weakly nodded her head.

Seeing this, Ye Yunjian immediately distanced herself, standing three feet away, tightly frowning as she watched her.

“You’re in heat and you’re running around outside? And mingling with a bunch of alphas?”

Her face was dark, and she looked particularly displeased.

But looking at the girl’s uncomfortable appearance, more severe words were unconsciously swallowed back.

She raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Ye Yunjian sighed deeply.

She really didn’t know what to do with her.

She tried to soften her tone.

“Do you know what would happen if someone found out you’re in heat right now…”

She tried hard to calm herself, but her voice was still serious and deep when she spoke, sounding particularly fierce, like she was scolding someone.

Closing her eyes, Ye Yunjian shook out the coat nearby and draped it over Qiao Yu.

Her face was tense as she ordered her, “Put it on.”

Her body was already weak.

It was cold, and she was wearing so little.

She wasn’t afraid of getting sick at a young age.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Ye Yunjian stared at Qiao Yu, truly feeling like she was looking after a rebellious and disobedient child.

Yet, she couldn’t hit or scold this child, not even say a single harsh word, leaving only herself to be utterly exasperated.

Qiao Yu calmed down and regained her senses after Ye Yunjian moved away.

Although she knew she was wrong in her heart, she still habitually retorted, “But the others don’t affect me much.”

She secretly peeked at Ye Yunjian.

“Only your pheromones, Auntie, make me completely defenseless all of a sudden.”

She even felt wronged.

The others’ scents only made her feel uncomfortable, but Ye Yunjian was different.

That aggressive aura made it impossible for her to escape, with almost no room for negotiation.

Before she could even resist, she was already subdued, only able to submit to the woman’s domineering pheromones, unable to move.

She hadn’t been this sensitive when she saw Bai Yiyu and Song Wanying before.

Ye Yunjian was originally angry, but after hearing Qiao Yu’s words, her thoughts paused.

Her sharp gaze instantly shot toward her.

“My pheromones affect you greatly?”

Seeing the other person nod hesitantly, Ye Yunjian immediately realized:

The little one’s pheromones can affect her, and her pheromones can also affect the little one, which means…

Her slanted eyes suddenly narrowed.

Ye Yunjian, with her deep eyes narrowed, looked exactly like a leopard fixated on its prey.

Qiao Yu subconsciously shrunk her neck, leaning back cautiously, trying to distance herself from her.

However, in the next moment, Ye Yunjian smoothed away all the emotions on her face, smiling gently and kindly as she sat closer, still maintaining an appropriate distance.

“Only me?”

This answer seemed very important to her.

She emphasized each word, asking, “Is there anyone else besides me?”

Not knowing where the woman’s sudden desire to win came from, Qiao Yu thought carefully.

Should Lu Shangyi count too?

But Lu Shangyi was an omega, and there was no way the two of them, being both subs, could be together, so she shook her head.

“No one else.”

The woman was finally satisfied.

She gently and kindly rubbed the top of her head.

“Do you want to eat something? I’ll get it for you.”

If she hadn’t brought it up, it would have been fine, but when she did, Qiao Yu immediately felt hungry.

She cautiously named a few dishes.

Ye Yunjian didn’t show any impatience at all.

Qiao Yu gradually became bolder and listed everything she wanted to eat in one go.

Ye Yunjian immediately got up to make a call.

Qiao Yu blinked, completely confused.

There’s no reason for her to suddenly be so nice to me.

She pondered for a moment, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Lure the enemy in before attacking?

Sugar-coated bullets?

The Last Supper?

Qiao Yu was terrified.

Just as she was about to get up and secretly check the situation, Jiang Mei, who was with an omega, suddenly appeared from around the corner.

The moment she caught sight of Qiao Yu, her normally calm eyes instantly lit up, and she involuntarily trembled.

“Yu Yu?”

She spoke with uncertainty in her voice, looking at her with an expression of shock and pleasant surprise.

She didn’t even dare to blink, as if afraid she would suddenly run away.

It wasn’t until Qiao Yu nodded and called her name that she dared to stride forward, stopping within a very close distance of her.

Standing in front of Qiao Yu, Jiang Mei was at a loss, wanting to reach out and hug her, but not having the courage.

She was so nervous that her voice was hoarse.

“What a coincidence.”

A slight smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Jiang Mei stared at her with her pitch-black eyes without blinking, which made Qiao Yu a little embarrassed.

“I came here to hang out with a few friends.”

Then, curving her lips, Qiao Yu smiled at her.

“I still haven’t congratulated you on getting first place in the final exams.”

Even at Jing High, Jiang Mei was not inferior to anyone.

Qiao Yu was momentarily confused:

Since her grades are so good, why was she a full twenty points lower than me that time?

Before she could think more deeply, Jiang Mei interrupted her thoughts with a faint smile.

“Thank you.”

She stood so vibrantly in front of her, her skin like snow, her features picturesque, every eyelash clearly visible, no longer the blurred face in her dreams.

Her heart was beating violently.

Jiang Mei felt her fingertips trembling slightly from excitement.

In the days since transferring schools, she had never dared to hope to meet her again so quickly.

Opening her mouth, Jiang Mei was about to speak, when a gentle woman’s voice suddenly cut in.

“Hello, you must be Miss Qiao? It’s nice to meet you.”

Mu Siyan had a smile on her face, but in reality, her heart was so nervous it was about to stop beating.

The moment she saw Jiang Mei today, she had fallen deeply in love with her.

She used to think that love at first sight was just a trick in books, but when it happened to her, she realized it was the most romantic fairy tale in the world.

It’s just…

Mu Siyan gently lowered her eyelashes.

Jiang Mei had been indifferent to her all night.

No matter how she tried to please her or talk about topics she liked, she was unmoved.

But at this moment, the girl in front of her hadn’t even said a word, and she had already rushed toward her impatiently.

The intimate magnetic field around the two of them seemed to shut out the entire world, including herself.

Especially the moment the other person’s figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight, the surprise in Jiang Mei’s eyes was so real, like finding a treasure or recovering something lost, which made her involuntarily feel jealous and envious.

She had never looked at herself with that kind of gaze, not even for a fleeting moment.

Qiao Yu was stunned, then gently shook the other person’s hand.

“Hello, may I ask who you are…”

“Mu Siyan.”

She said in a soft voice, “My name is Mu Siyan.”

She looked at Jiang Mei hesitantly.

Mu Siyan said with little confidence, “I’m her friend.”

Although it was only her one-sided thought.

Jiang Mei indeed gave her a cold look.

Mu Siyan’s face paled, and her lips instantly pressed into a tight line.

The girl was already petite, with a delicate, weak-looking face, and now she looked lost, as if she was about to faint from her emotions.

Based on the other person’s appearance and demeanor, Qiao Yu didn’t spend too much effort to recall the character:

Mu Siyan, the deeply devoted female supporting character in the book.

There were many annoying supporting characters in the original novel, but Mu Siyan was the only one whom people couldn’t hate.

She could give up everything for Jiang Mei, even her life.

Such a gentle and strong girl was truly lovable.

Qiao Yu smiled.

“You’re her friend, and I’m her friend, so technically, we’re friends too.”

Mu Siyan raised her eyes in astonishment.

She was just about to speak, but Jiang Mei interrupted her.

“You go back first.”

Her voice was not as gentle as it was with Qiao Yu, and she didn’t give her any face in front of Qiao Yu.

Her face paled even more.

Mu Siyan forced a casual smile.

“Then come back early after you’re done chatting. Dad and I are waiting for you in the room.”

Jiang Mei frowned with displeasure and ignored the other person.

She could only use those words to threaten Lu Shenghui, but with her, she and her father held no weight.

Mu Siyan looked at Jiang Mei reluctantly, but even as she walked far away, she didn’t get an extra glance from Jiang Mei.

The surroundings returned to quietness, so quiet that Jiang Mei could almost hear her own heart pounding out of her chest.

Clenching her fingers, she tried hard to appear calm.

“Lately, you’ve been…”

After an involuntary pause, Jiang Mei mustered her courage and spoke again, “Are you doing okay?”

“I heard your body became much weaker after you differentiated. I originally wanted to come and see you and bring you some things, but I haven’t had time.”

She explained nervously, “But don’t worry, I’ll have someone deliver them to you as soon as I get back today.”

Qiao Yu couldn’t help but look at her and laugh out loud.

“What time is it now? Are you planning on not letting me sleep?”

Jiang Mei was stunned, and unconsciously smiled too.

“I’m sorry, that was inconsiderate of me.”

She still wanted to show her sincerity, so she said, “Then do you have time tomorrow? I’ll have someone bring them over tomorrow.”

She nodded.

“The things aren’t important.”

Qiao Yu lifted her chin and gazed at her.

“I mainly want to know why you haven’t been replying to my messages this whole time?”

If she hadn’t heard any bad news recently, she would have thought Jiang Mei was under house arrest by Lu Shenghui.

Jiang Mei panicked.

“It’s not what you think.”

She instinctively said, “My phone accidentally fell into the water and stopped working, and I haven’t had time to buy a new one.”

“My father has high expectations for me, so I’ve been preparing for the final exams…”

She wanted to explain clearly to avoid Qiao Yu misunderstanding, but Qiao Yu wasn’t overthinking it at all.

“As long as you’re not deliberately ignoring me, it’s fine.”

After all, she was the little seedling she painstakingly nurtured.

She couldn’t let that guy, Lu Shenghui, ruin her.

“Then after you buy a new phone, you must keep in touch with me often.”

Jiang Mei pursed her lips and couldn’t stop smiling, her eyes twinkling like stars.

“Okay.”

She was about to say something else, but her face quickly changed when she saw a figure.

“Yu Yu, let’s talk another day.

I have to go back first.”

She finished speaking and fled in disarray, not giving Qiao Yu any time to react.

Following the direction she left, Qiao Yu caught sight of Lu Shenghui’s gloomy face.

Frowning, Qiao Yu was puzzled:

Why is she so afraid of Lu Shenghui?

“She’s had a hard life too.”

Ye Yunjian secretly stood behind her with her phone.

Meeting Lu Shenghui’s gaze, Lu Shenghui turned around without hesitation and disappeared.

Qiao Yu looked up at her, her eyes a little confused, but Ye Yunjian didn’t intend to explain, only saying lightly, “Lu family girls all have hard lives.”

Lu Shangyi was one, and Jiang Mei was another.

She just didn’t know if the current Jiang Mei would be the next Lu Shangyi.

Qiao Yu’s heart immediately sank, and she couldn’t help but worry about Lu Shangyi.

Someone like Ye Yunjian definitely wouldn’t talk nonsense and slander others.

Her making such a comment meant she must know some inside information.

Clenching her fingers, Qiao Yu cautiously asked, “Auntie Ye.”

She called out softly.

When Ye Yunjian looked down at her, she asked, “Do you think the car accident Sister Lu had back then was an accident?”

The girl’s thoughts were unconcealed.

Ye Yunjian chuckled softly, but only reached out and stroked the back of her head.

“The food is almost here. Let’s go.”

After finishing their late-night snack, Ye Yunjian directly sent her home.

Since it was too late today, she decided to stay in the house opposite Qiao Yu’s.

Qiao Yu checked the news while brushing her teeth, but the online news was all just speculation by the public and the media, with no substantive evidence.

After rinsing the foam from her mouth, Qiao Yu sat on the bed, intending to investigate further, but her phone kept ringing, so she had to switch back to the WeChat interface.

Someone in the group mentioned her.

She clicked in and found that it was more than one person.

“Capital’s No. 1 Rich Beauty, thank you, sister! I’m no longer single today.

I’ll treat you to a meal another day!”

“Capital’s No. 1 Rich Beauty, thank you, sister, for helping me find a girlfriend. A big red envelope has been sent. Please check.”

“The quality of the alphas around my sister is indeed good. Although I haven’t successfully found a partner today, I’m so happy to have a dozen or so handsome guys’ contact information on my phone! Capital’s No. 1 Rich Beauty, you can pick any gift you want after you find a partner. I’ll buy it for you with my future boyfriend’s money.”

Qiao Yu had a huge question mark on her face.

“???”

“How is it that you all get into relationships like it’s a game?”

She had only gone out for a late-night snack with Ye Yunjian, and suddenly there were over a dozen couples in the group?!

Someone quickly shared their secret to finding a partner.

“Dating is like doing business. You have to be bold and thick-skinned.”

“If the alpha you like is disobedient, just forcefully take what you want. Knock them out and have your way with them. Once the deed is done, would they still dare to disobey?”

Another sister said, “Don’t worry.

You’ve defiled their innocence.

Even if they have resentment, they won’t dare to make a big fuss.”

Qiao Yu: “…”

Have I joined a group of bandits?

She really had stumbled into a den of thieves.

Although…

Qiao Yu’s thoughts were still involuntarily led astray a little.

That actually sounds quite reasonable.

However, before she could think more deeply, someone who rarely spoke popped up and successfully drew attention with a light, airy “Heh” amidst the long-winded discussions.

The few words were extremely effective at creating animosity, and in the blink of an eye, they sparked a collective outrage.

Perhaps annoyed by the relentless barrage from the “bandits,” the person said another line, “Why don’t you just slip a ton of aphrodisiac in her bowl?

Wouldn’t that be faster and more direct?”

The group was eerily silent for a moment.

Then it immediately became lively again, with everyone praising the idea.

“Sister, you’re awesome!”

“There’s always someone better. This friend is truly fierce.”

After saying that, the person asked curiously, “May I ask for your name and age, friend? I feel like your thoughts are particularly similar to mine. Would you like to go out for a cup of tea and discuss it further?”

Qiao Yu didn’t dare to speak.

Ye Yunjian!

How could she not be awesome!

She shivered again.

Qiao Yu quickly put her phone aside, hoping that Bai Yiyu and Lu Shangyi wouldn’t see such shocking news, or she would truly be finished.

Meanwhile, Lu Shangyi was staring at the messages in the group, deep in thought.

Song Wanying was filming a scene in the mall today.

At the request of the crew, all the guests on the top floor had been cleared out.

She was putting on makeup and getting ready to get into character when Song Wanying unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

Frowning slightly, Song Wanying picked up her script and walked over to Lu Shangyi.

“Why are you here?”

Lu Shangyi turned around, her slanted eyes looking at Song Wanying with a hint of nonchalance.

“I came to buy some clothes.”

“Buy clothes?”

Song Wanying repeated softly, tilting her head suspiciously.

Would Lu Shangyi lack clothes?

Even if she did, she wouldn’t need to condescend to come to this small, broken mall to shop herself.

Maintaining skepticism, Song Wanying, based on their past acquaintance, kindly asked, “Do you need me to go with you?”

But the woman refused crisply.

“No need.”

Lu Shangyi glanced behind her.

“You should focus on filming.”

Then she left.

Staring at the woman’s tall back, Song Wanying felt that something was off, but she couldn’t pinpoint what was strange.

On an impulse, she called over an assistant.

Song Wanying pointed at Lu Shangyi and said, “Go keep an eye on her for me. Tell me every store she visits and everything she buys, without missing a single detail, after I finish filming.”

The assistant nodded.

“Got it, sister! I’m on it.”

After another two glances at Lu Shangyi, Song Wanying’s confusion deepened.

After a moment, she finally realized:

Lu Shangyi was now so busy with the company that she barely had time to eat.

How could she have time to shop at the mall?

Moreover, someone as ascetic as Lu Shangyi wouldn’t suddenly have the urge to doll herself up.

Lu Shangyi casually browsed two stores.

In less than a minute after entering the store, she selected her items, swiped her card, and paid.

The assistant followed behind her, watching her buy a pile of things without batting an eye, and couldn’t help but compare her to Song Wanying.

Song Wanying also liked to spend money and buy clothes, but she wasn’t as crazy as Lu Shangyi.

At least Song Wanying would try them on and only pay for them if she was satisfied, but this woman just glanced at them and told the salesperson to wrap everything up.

Lu Shangyi left with her large and small bags after shopping.

Her casual expression made it look like she had just popped in to buy a cup of milk tea.

After confirming that she had completely left, the assistant cleared her throat, straightened her back, and walked into the stores Lu Shangyi had visited.

“What kind of clothes did that lady just buy? A friend of mine wants to take a look too.”

The sales clerk immediately introduced them enthusiastically.

“This one, this one, and this one too.”

The assistant looked closely:

Lace?

Small bows?

Pure and sensual white lingerie?

Sexy and seductive black slip dresses?

This is insane!

Song Wanying’s first reaction after hearing the report was:

Could she have bought them specifically for Qiao Yu?

But after carefully looking at the photos the assistant took, Song Wanying felt it was unlikely.

Qiao Yu’s constitution was much weaker after her differentiation.

It was almost the New Year, and the temperature was the lowest it had been all year.

Even with indoor heating, with Lu Shangyi’s careful nature, she would never take such a risk.

Song Wanying guessed and guessed but couldn’t figure it out, so she decided to go over today and see what kind of trick Lu Shangyi was up to.

Hearing the commotion at the door, Qiao Yu immediately dashed to the window.

Lu Shangyi had just stepped out of a black sedan.

Her fair fingertips held a black umbrella, which she opened and held over her head.

The light was dim, and the driving snow obscured her face, making it blurry.

The woman was wearing a black, structured coat.

Her beautiful face was expressionless.

Today, she had heavy makeup on.

The exquisite eyeshadow accentuated her naturally slanted fox eyes, making them both seductive and sharp.

Paired with her porcelain-white complexion, her entire being was cold and glamorous to the bone.

Especially her high, upturned nose, which instantly boosted her aura to six feet three inches, like a cold and unapproachable high-mountain flower.

Qiao Yu had never seen such a cold and beautiful Lu Shangyi.

The usual Lu Shangyi was always soft, simple, and naturally ethereal, showing no aggression.

But the woman tonight was radiating an aura of hormones, making Qiao Yu’s heart restless and unbearable.

She longed to roughly bully the woman until she was teary-eyed before stopping.

Swallowing her saliva as her heart pounded, Qiao Yu couldn’t help but exclaim, “Stunning.”

“If I were an alpha…”

She paused.

Qiao Yu corrected herself.

“No…Even as an omega, I wouldn’t be able to resist!”

There’s actually such a stunning beauty in the world?

And she just happens to be next to her?

Lu Shangyi held the black umbrella, walking unhurriedly into the courtyard in her high heels, turning on all the lights in the house.

After she completely disappeared from Qiao Yu’s sight, the woman glanced at the direction of her house with a faint smile.

Qiao Yu’s head was buzzing from being so flustered by the woman today.

She tried to resist, but finally couldn’t take it anymore.

She ran upstairs, casually grabbed a new scarf, hugged it, and ran toward Lu Shangyi’s house.

In just half an hour, Lu Shangyi had already taken a hot shower, changed into new clothes, and was quietly reading a book on the living room sofa.

Her long black hair was draped gently over her shoulder.

Her cool, pale skin was much softer under the light, making it seem less cold and unapproachable.

Qiao Yu’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the home clothes Lu Shangyi was wearing.

The color was a creamy white.

Although the lighting made it a little inaccurate, still…

Her gaze scanned up and down.

Qiao Yu stared at the small, delicate bows on Lu Shangyi’s home clothes and almost lost control on the spot.

A strong alpha who had been cold and glamorous a moment ago had suddenly become soft, gentle, and adorable.

Such a stark contrast made her freeze in place, forgetting even to call out to the person.

She was standing right in front of her, making it hard not to be noticed.

Lu Shangyi looked up, completely unaware of how easy she looked to “bully” in other people’s eyes right now.

“Still not sleeping?”

“Huh?”

Qiao Yu instinctively replied, immediately snapping out of it.

Her heart pounded violently.

Qiao Yu unconsciously walked toward her, swallowing twice.

“Not sleepy yet.”

She couldn’t help but look at Lu Shangyi.

Although she tried her best to restrain herself, the woman was like a magnet, always attracting her gaze.

After a difficult internal struggle, Qiao Yu ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation and succumbed to the woman’s beauty.

“You look really pretty today.”

Lu Shangyi slightly raised her eyebrows.

The younger one isn’t calling me ‘sister’ anymore.

Her intentions are a little wild.

A smile curved on her red lips.

As the woman’s misty, watery eyes gently moved, they exuded a captivating charm, causing Qiao Yu to involuntarily clear her throat again.

Song Wanying, who had just walked in, saw this beautiful and flirtatious scene of Lu Shangyi.

Qiao Yu noticed Lu Shangyi suddenly looking away and instinctively turned around as well.

Song Wanying stared at the girl, whose eyes were shifting, and whose cheeks were red, clearly charmed by Lu Shangyi.

She was speechless.

Please, be a decent human being.

Noticing Song Wanying’s eyes fixed on Lu Shangyi, Qiao Yu suddenly jumped up as if from a deathbed, quickly holding up the scarf in her arms to block Song Wanying’s view of Lu Shangyi.

“Don’t look, don’t look!”

She blushed and met Song Wanying’s sharp gaze.

“Sister Song, you’re an alpha. Alphas and omegas should keep their distance. You can’t look, you can’t look.”

Song Wanying was almost infuriated into laughter.

She narrowed her eyes, forcing Qiao Yu to take several small steps back.

“In the middle of the night…”

Her narrow eyes were fixed on the panicked Qiao Yu.

The words slowly spoken from her red lips carried astonishing power.

“What are you doing here, running to her place instead of sleeping?” Cool fingers gently stroked Qiao Yu’s beautiful collarbone and slender neck. Song Wanying’s smile was mesmerizing.

“Hmm?”
