After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 48
The spot Song Wanying had touched sent an electric, tingling sensation through Qiao Yu.
After the extreme coolness, a burning warmth slowly rose as the fingers moved away, like little balls of fire were igniting on her neck, making Qiao Yu feel uncomfortable all over.
The color on her rosy cheeks deepened.
Qiao Yu stared down at the floor with a pair of pitch-black, glossy eyes, feeling guilty.
“I came to bring Sister Lu a scarf.”
She quickly pointed to the item in her arms.
Qiao Yu, in a moment of quick thinking, explained, “I saw Sister Lu wasn’t wearing enough and was worried she’d catch a cold.”
After thinking of a plausible excuse, Qiao Yu grew bolder.
She blinked innocently, using an excuse that Song Wanying couldn’t fault.
“Sister Lu is an omega, after all, and her body is weak like mine.”
She smiled faintly.
“Sister Song, do you like it? If you do, I’ll buy one for you too.”
The girl’s sweet, soft voice was light.
Although she had a somewhat brazen attitude, she didn’t dare to be too smug.
Song Wanying looked down at the deep black scarf next to Qiao Yu’s fair skin, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
“I will.”
Qiao Yu was instantly stunned and looked up at her.
Song Wanying looked back, her smiling face radiating a natural allure.
Qiao Yu was half a beat late in responding, and the smile on Song Wanying’s face deepened a little more.
“Reluctant now?”
“Of course not!”
She instinctively denied it.
Qiao Yu’s eyes, when she looked at her, were dark and bright.
“How could I be reluctant to part with this mere scarf!”
“I’ll place the order tonight!”
Her volume suddenly increased, as if this could prove her unwavering determination.
Song Wanying gave her an ‘you’d better’ look.
Releasing Qiao Yu, she turned around and saw Lu Shangyi still leaning on the sofa in her initial lazy posture, her beautifully structured hand still holding a book that pretended to be profound.
Paired with the gold-rimmed glasses without lenses on her nose, her demeanor was exaggeratedly affected.
The sound of the falling snow was blocked by the tightly shut doors and windows.
The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly.
The color of the flames reflected on the woman’s fair skin, making Lu Shangyi appear incredibly gentle.
She merely struck a casual pose, yet she perfectly conveyed the blend of strict, rigid bookishness and carefree, lingering relaxation.
Let alone Qiao Yu, who was just an adult, even Song Wanying was getting some improper ideas.
Rolling her eyes to block Qiao Yu’s sneaky glances, Song Wanying expressionlessly picked up the blanket from the single sofa, shook it open, and threw it unceremoniously onto Lu Shangyi.
Her face was somewhat dark.
It’s one thing for this woman to flirt with others, but now she’s even targeting Qiao Yu.
She’s just a child.
The living room was very quiet.
The crackling sound of the fire came from the fireplace, and the atmosphere was serene and gentle.
Song Wanying took a long stride and walked toward Lu Shangyi.
“You’re so busy during the day, aren’t you going to rest?”
Lu Shangyi lifted her eyelids and glanced at Qiao Yu, who looked particularly soft under the light.
“I am.”
A curve of a smile lifted her lips.
Lu Shangyi’s smile was especially seductive.
“I was just about to read for a bit before sleeping, and the two of you came in one after the other.”
Her words implied that they had disturbed her.
Song Wanying blinked her eyes with a fake smile.
“Then I’m truly sorry.”
Lu Shangyi pushed herself up with the sofa and, hearing this, magnanimously forgave her.
“It’s fine.”
Song Wanying let out a soft “Heh.”
This woman is as much of a jerk as ever.
If she had been any later, Qiao Yu might have been tricked into bed by her.
Although two omegas can’t really do anything…
Her thoughts suddenly stopped.
Who says two omegas can’t do anything?
They can clearly hug and make out.
Realizing this, Song Wanying’s face turned a little ugly.
Just then, Qiao Yu, cluelessly, ran over and sat down in the spot closest to Lu Shangyi.
She stared unblinkingly at the woman, her eyes bright as if starlight was swirling within them.
She was practically glued to Lu Shangyi, unable to pull away.
Song Wanying suddenly felt a little agitated.
Patting the spot next to her, Song Wanying said to Qiao Yu with an impassive expression, “Come here.”
Qiao Yu let out an “Ah,” turned back, her dark, bright eyes full of confusion.
“?”
Her unresponsiveness made Song Wanying unconsciously increase her volume.
Song Wanying stared at her expressionlessly.
“Are you coming over or not?”
The woman was clearly getting emotional.
Qiao Yu pondered for a moment and, for the sake of her own life, obediently sat next to her.
Her emotions immediately calmed down.
Song Wanying reverted to her understated tone.
“Aren’t you afraid of danger sitting so close to her?”
Qiao Yu choked.
In fact, Sister Song, you are the one who is more threatening to me, right?
How dangerous can Sister Lu, an omega, be?
But you are different.
Not to mention the huge difference in strength, Song Wanying’s potent pheromones alone could torture her half to death.
However, Qiao Yu didn’t dare to say this in front of Song Wanying.
She was afraid of getting hit.
Song Wanying was clearly being unreasonable.
Lu Shangyi let out a low chuckle but didn’t explain.
Song Wanying glanced at her, automatically ignoring the meaning behind the woman’s laughter.
“Are you getting along alright at the company lately?”
“So-so,” Lu Shangyi said calmly.
“Are you very tired?” Song Wanying asked again.
Lu Shangyi didn’t suspect her intention and nodded.
But in the next second, she saw Song Wanying turn her head seriously and say to Qiao Yu with a solemn expression, “Your Sister Lu has been busy with work and hasn’t rested much at night.
Don’t come to disturb her unless it’s absolutely necessary from now on.”
Lu Shangyi: “…”
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Lu Shangyi did indeed look a bit tired, she agreed obediently and considerately.
“Okay.”
Song Wanying smiled faintly, then, all smiles, pulled Qiao Yu’s slender wrist and stood up.
She said to Lu Shangyi, “In that case, you should rest early tonight.”
Taking the black scarf from Qiao Yu’s arms, Song Wanying handed the item to Lu Shangyi.
“We’re heading back now.”
Qiao Yu didn’t suspect anything and also turned around to say goodnight.
The woman had snatched her little friend away in the blink of an eye.
Lu Shangyi held a book in one hand and a scarf in the other.
“…………”
Qiao Yu was still reflecting on her own thoughtlessness.
“If I had known Sister Lu was so tired, I wouldn’t have come to disturb her rest.”
She hadn’t intended to go over unless she was completely overwhelmed by the beauty that had clouded her mind.
But the woman had suddenly become so stunning under the nourishment of power that she was truly distracted and restless.
“Just remember it from now on,” Song Wanying said expressionlessly.
“She has to fly abroad for a meeting in a couple of days. After the meeting, she’ll be traveling between several cities to handle company matters. It’s normal for you not to know.”
“The company is busy at the end of the year, and she also has to help Lu Shenghui with the summary. She practically wishes she could stretch 24 hours into 48, not to mention Lu Shenghui specifically sent someone to watch her.”
Qiao Yu said, “Oh, then when will she be done with all the busy work?”
Song Wanying glanced at her imperceptibly, shook her head, and then said, “If you’re bored in the future, you can come find me.”
“But Sister, don’t you still have filming?” Qiao Yu asked.
“I’ll be done filming tomorrow.”
She paused, then Song Wanying added, “I don’t plan on taking on another project in the short term. It’s almost the New Year, so it’s a good time to give the studio a break.”
The implication was that she could accompany Qiao Yu to play until school started.
Qiao Yu let out a sound of sudden realization, feeling a little sleepy.
Seeing her yawn with sleepy eyes like a puppy, Song Wanying didn’t linger.
She walked her to the door, watched her go upstairs, and saw the bedroom light turn on.
Only then did Song Wanying turn around, subtly glancing at the tall, elegant woman standing in front of the French window, a nonchalant curve on her bright red lips.
As their eyes met, the atmosphere tightened even more across the distant, falling snow.
Qiao Yu didn’t forget to order the scarf for Song Wanying.
However, she originally thought the item would cost a few thousand or tens of thousands at most.
Only after searching online did she realize it cost a staggering hundred thousand plus.
Pinching her brow, she thought for a long time and finally remembered that this was the winter solstice gift Ms. Qiao had specially bought for her that day.
Looking at the six-figure price, Qiao Yu almost couldn’t breathe from the heartache.
After filling in the address and completing the payment, Qiao Yu placed her phone aside.
“Since I’ve given Sister Song a gift, wouldn’t it be wrong if I didn’t go see her these next few days?”
The system had a confused look.
“Is there a causal relationship between the two?”
“Of course there is,” Qiao Yu said with a serious expression.
“This way, I can openly look at her.”
Eh?
Thinking about it that way, it’s actually a bargain!
However, before Qiao Yu had a chance to send the gift, she saw the news of Song Wanying being injured and hospitalized on Weibo.
The cause was an unexpected accident with a prop during the filming of the last scene, which resulted in her being cut by a sharp object and bleeding profusely.
The news photo was censored, but it was still shocking.
Qiao Yu found out the address of Song Wanying’s hospital, quickly changed her clothes, and was about to rush over.
Just as she stepped out the door, she ran into Lu Shangyi’s returning car.
The woman in the back seat slowly lowered the window.
“Get in.”
The driver from Ms. Qiao’s side would take another half hour to arrive.
Qiao Yu hesitated briefly, then immediately pulled open the car door.
“The news says Sister Song is injured. I need to go to the hospital to see her…”
“I know,” the woman gently interrupted her, then instructed the driver in the front seat, “To the hospital.”
Qiao Yu was stunned.
“Sister, you saw the news too?”
Lu Shangyi responded with a slight raising of her eyebrow.
Qiao Yu was immediately a little embarrassed.
“But Sister Lu, aren’t you very busy? Will taking the time to drive me over delay your own matters?”
Although she was anxious, Qiao Yu didn’t want Lu Shangyi to be troubled by Lu Shenghui.
Lu Shangyi glanced at her, then was silent for a moment before asking, “She told you I’m very busy?”
Qiao Yu nodded, not understanding.
“How busy?”
After thinking carefully, Qiao Yu blinked.
“So busy she wishes she could stretch one minute into one hundred and twenty seconds?”
The woman suddenly chuckled softly.
Qiao Yu was a little confused, but seeing that Lu Shangyi didn’t intend to explain, she didn’t ask.
Scratching her eyebrows, Qiao Yu couldn’t figure out what riddle these two women were playing, so she simply stopped caring.
Anyway, she couldn’t guess what adults were thinking.
There were many reporters and media waiting outside the hospital.
When they entered through the VIP passage with Lu Shangyi, Song Wanying was still in the operating room.
A young figure stood outside the operating room.
Hearing the footsteps, the person turned around, and Qiao Yu exclaimed in surprise.
“Jiang Mei?”
A flicker of panic crossed Jiang Mei’s eyes.
Her throat suddenly felt dry.
“Yu Yu…”
Her face involuntarily paled a bit.
Jiang Mei clenched her palm nervously.
“I’m here on behalf of the Lu family to see her.”
Although she really wanted to explain clearly, for some reason, the words that came out were vague and unclear.
Jiang Mei instinctively took two steps forward and then added, “My father asked me to come.”
After saying that, Jiang Mei finally noticed Lu Shangyi next to Qiao Yu.
Her face suddenly tightened.
Jiang Mei suppressed all her panicked emotions and spoke stiffly, “Aunt.”
Lu Shangyi glanced at her and nodded.
The atmosphere between the aunt and niece was clearly strange.
Qiao Yu peeked left and right, very wisely changing the subject.
“Sister Song, is she alright? Is the injury serious?”
Thinking of the large pool of blood in the news photo, Qiao Yu stretched her neck to look into the operating room.
“Why hasn’t she come out yet?”
“I’m not sure,” Jiang Mei said softly.
“I just arrived myself.”
Song Wanying’s agent, who had finished setting up the ward, walked over and was stunned to see the three of them.
“You’re all here to see Wanying, right?”
Pointing to the back, the agent added, “Why don’t you rest in the room first? I’ll wait for her here.”
Qiao Yu looked at Lu Shangyi.
Lu Shangyi nodded, and the assistant immediately walked over.
“Please follow me.”
The VIP suite in the private hospital was luxuriously decorated and quiet.
Qiao Yu sat on the sofa for a while before belatedly feeling that the atmosphere in the room was suffocatingly quiet.
She unconsciously straightened her back and sat properly.
Qiao Yu’s gaze constantly shifted between Lu Shangyi and Jiang Mei.
Aren’t these two related by blood, aunt and niece?
Why don’t they look like it at all?
They look more like enemies.
Qiao Yu couldn’t help but look at Jiang Mei.
Since Lu Shangyi is the female lead’s biological aunt, then the package from last time must have been sent by Lu Shangyi, right?
Lu Shangyi actively showed kindness to the female lead.
Logically, their relationship should be very close now.
Qiao Yu looked at Jiang Mei’s expressionless face with confusion.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
Jiang Mei had an expressionless face that was the exact replica of Lu Shangyi’s.
She understood Qiao Yu’s confusion, but…
How should she tell Qiao Yu that she still liked her?
And at the same time, she also realized that her own biological aunt had an astonishing possessiveness toward her?
Qiao Yu herself might not have noticed, but as an outsider, an irrelevant bystander, she could clearly see the look in Lu Shangyi’s eyes when she looked at Qiao Yu.
A woman’s intuition was always accurate, especially since Lu Shangyi hadn’t deliberately concealed it.
On one side was her savior, and on the other was her biological aunt who had shown kindness to her from the beginning.
Jiang Mei didn’t know how to choose.
Was she supposed to have a falling out with her own biological aunt over a woman?
The pressure around Jiang Mei grew lower and lower.
Her entire aura visibly became gloomy.
Qiao Yu couldn’t help but chat with the system.
“What happened between these two? Could it be that Lu Shenghui deliberately sowed discord between them to sabotage their relationship?”
The system’s eye twitched upon hearing this.
“I think Host you might want to look for the reason within yourself.”
Within her?
What reason could be within her?
Qiao Yu, with puffed cheeks, was just about to argue with the system when Song Wanying, who had already had her stitches, appeared, accompanied by her agent, a doctor, and nurses.
Qiao Yu quickly got up and ran over, looking worriedly at her tightly wrapped wound.
“Sister Song, are you alright?”
Subtly hiding her wound under the blanket, Song Wanying glanced at Lu Shangyi, and then at Jiang Mei.
“I’m fine. The anesthetic hasn’t worn off yet, so I don’t feel any pain right now.”
After saying that, Song Wanying looked at Lu Shangyi.
“Aren’t you busy today?”
“I am busy,” Lu Shangyi said.
“I came to see that you’re okay, and then I’ll leave…”
Before she could finish, Song Wanying replied, “I’m fine.”
“…”
Lu Shangyi suddenly narrowed her eyes, the emotions in her deep eyes so profound that they were inscrutable.
The two women were at a stalemate when the sound of high heels, with an aggressive presence, suddenly came from the doorway.
Following that, Ye Yunjian’s figure, holding flowers, slowly appeared in sight.
Staring at Ye Yunjian’s eyes, which immediately darted toward Qiao Yu, Song Wanying was expressionless.
“…”
Am I the patient, or is she the patient?
Qiao Yu’s mind instantly went blank as she looked at Ye Yunjian’s face.
“System, System, since when did Auntie Ye and Sister Song get so close?”
Looking at Ye Yunjian’s eyes, which were watching her with a smile, Qiao Yu involuntarily recalled being picked up and carried by the woman in front of everyone at the hotel entrance that day.
Her heart instantly felt guilty.
A moment later, Qiao Yu suddenly stiffened.
Oh no!
With so many people here today, she absolutely cannot let anything slip!
As the thought flashed through her mind, she heard Ye Yunjian’s voice, containing a hint of indulgent reproach, slowly speak.
“Wearing so little again.”
“Are you cold?”
The woman’s intimate tone successfully drew the attention of the others.
Song Wanying and Lu Shangyi immediately stopped their confrontation and stared unblinkingly at the stiff Qiao Yu.
Then Jiang Mei also stopped her frantic thoughts and involuntarily looked over at her.
The four pairs of eyes, eight eyes in total, were fixed on her.
Qiao Yu instantly wished she could disappear from the face of the earth.
She didn’t respond for a long time.
Ye Yunjian couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
“Is it inconvenient to answer?”
Qiao Yu clearly felt the four gazes on her instantly increase in intensity by a full eighteen degrees.
Bearing Ye Yunjian’s understated gaze, Qiao Yu let out a mournful choke.
“…I’m not cold.”
It’s just her heart that feels a little chilly right now.
