After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 49

Lu Shangyi’s probing gaze fell upon her, the emotion in her deep eyes indifferent, the upward curve of her lips changing to a look of casual detachment.

On the surface, she was gentle and harmless, but in reality, that weightless gaze made Qiao Yu’s scalp tingle.

Glancing left and right, Qiao Yu subtly pressed closer to Jiang Mei, trying to use her to minimize her own presence.

However, no matter where she moved, the gaze followed, rendering her efforts useless.

Jiang Mei looked down at Qiao Yu, who was entirely hiding in her embrace.

The slight smile in her eyes was faint.

She imperceptibly shielded half of the other person and then looked up at Lu Shangyi.

At first, Lu Shangyi’s expression was unmoved, but after a few seconds, the woman, as if conceding to her, slowly withdrew her gaze and looked elsewhere with an air of nonchalance.

Jiang Mei subtly let out a breath of relief.

She could only plead with Lu Shangyi for Qiao Yu.

As for Song Wanying and Ye Yunjian… she felt powerless.

Looking at Ye Yunjian’s gaze toward Qiao Yu, which was exceptionally familiar and carried a hint of ambiguity, Jiang Mei secretly frowned.

She suddenly remembered seeing Ye Yunjian embracing a woman at the hotel entrance that day.

The woman’s slender, fragile white ankles were very similar to Qiao Yu’s.

Her body trembled slightly.

Jiang Mei involuntarily lowered her head, her eyes fixed on Qiao Yu, who had her pale lips tightly pursed.

The person in Ye Yunjian’s arms was her?!

Unable to describe the instant panic and distress that surged in her heart, Jiang Mei’s facial expression gradually tightened.

Rationally, she knew she shouldn’t make random guesses without evidence, but a voice in her heart kept repeating that Qiao Yu was that person.

That day, she saw her intimately with Ye Yunjian, and she heard Mu Siyan mention more than once how Ye Yunjian personally stepped in to play cards and punish an alpha for Qiao Yu.

At the time, she hadn’t paid much attention or taken it seriously, because if she had been present, she would have also helped Qiao Yu get justice if she saw her being bullied.

But at this moment, hearing Ye Yunjian pointedly ask if Qiao Yu was cold, and seeing Qiao Yu’s guilty face looking away, afraid to meet her eyes, the answer in her heart instantly became clear.

Her gaze lingered on the other person’s thin body, and her mind instantly recalled the sight of the other person wearing only a white top that day, looking seductively beautiful.

The people around were all furtively looking at her.

The moment she made any movement, everyone would nervously turn their eyes away like thieves, afraid of being caught red-handed.

She was too eye-catching, so much so that others, like herself, didn’t dare to look at her directly, only daring to secretly size her up when she wasn’t paying attention.

She seemed to have long been accustomed to being stared at in such a veiled way, showing no reaction at all, still composed and graceful, which made those with despicable intentions feel even more inadequate deep down.

Qiao Yu was flustered by Ye Yunjian’s actions and quickly raised her dark eyes to look at her pleadingly: Can we talk about everything later when we get home, okay?

Ye Yunjian slightly raised her eyebrow.

Her exquisitely made-up face revealed a deep smile, but unfortunately, her expression was still somewhat unmoving.

Qiao Yu quickly softened her posture again.

If she wasn’t mindful that there were other people here, she would have knelt down to Ye Yunjian on the spot.

Perhaps the sincerity in her eyes finally moved the other person.

Ye Yunjian finally withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked toward Song Wanying with the flowers.

“Get well soon.”

Song Wanying lifted her eyelids to stare at her, but didn’t take them.

Ye Yunjian didn’t mind.

She familiarly placed the bouquet on the nearby table, not forgetting to turn back and add an insult to Song Wanying.

“I know a very skilled plastic surgeon.”

After carefully examining Song Wanying’s arm, Ye Yunjian spoke with a kind smile.

“Do you need me to help you…”

“No need,” Song Wanying interrupted her expressionlessly.

“A little scratch and scar are nothing.”

Ye Yunjian raised her eyebrow.

“True.”

“But as a celebrity, you should still pay attention to…”

The woman talked too much.

Song Wanying was so bothered that she immediately blurted out, “I’m quitting.”

Qiao Yu: “!!!” Shock!

A top female star on her sickbed instantly announced her retirement due to a few words from this woman!

Ye Yunjian gazed at her and suddenly laughed out loud.

“Whatever makes you happy.”

Song Wanying rolled her eyes dismissively, then quickly feigned a tired and weak appearance, drifting off to sleep.

Her little trick naturally couldn’t fool Ye Yunjian.

Ye Yunjian was also tactful enough not to disturb her, but still earnestly said to her, “Young people still need to take better care of their bodies.”

Song Wanying closed her eyes and remained still.

The smile on Ye Yunjian’s face deepened a little.

“Then get some good rest. We won’t disturb you.”

The woman turned back.

“Yu Yu, come here.”

Hearing this, the feigning-sleep Song Wanying immediately opened her eyes and spoke up.

“Yu Yu, you stay. I have a few words to say to you.”

Ye Yunjian turned around, her chilly gaze falling back onto Song Wanying.

Song Wanying wasn’t afraid of her and looked indifferent.

The two women held a stalemate, neither willing to yield.

Qiao Yu looked at the intimidating Ye Yunjian, then at the defiant Song Wanying, her eyelids twitching.

When immortals fight, mortals suffer.

So whose command should she follow now?

Lu Shangyi’s gaze lightly swept over Qiao Yu, then settled on Jiang Mei, who was keeping her head down and remaining silent.

Sensing Lu Shangyi’s gaze, Jiang Mei hesitated, then walked over to the woman.

Lu Shangyi greeted her and quickly led Jiang Mei away.

Song Wanying insisted that Qiao Yu stay.

Qiao Yu was so troubled she scratched her ears and cheeks, and couldn’t help but say to Ye Yunjian, “Auntie Ye, how about we catch up another day?”

Ye Yunjian replied, “I’ll wait for you outside.”

Through the slightly ajar door, Qiao Yu could see the woman’s tall figure standing quietly there.

Qiao Yu glanced twice, then walked over to Song Wanying, blinking curiously.

“Sister Song, what did you want to tell me?”

Song Wanying glanced at her.

“Nothing.”

She slowly shook the blanket.

“Just wanted to annoy her, that’s all.”

“…” How can someone so old still be so childish?

Qiao Yu secretly complained.

And Auntie Ye too, at her age, she’s acting like a child, completely irreverent.

Maintaining the smile on her face, Qiao Yu stared at her tightly wrapped arm.

“Sister, will you have a scar here?”

Song Wanying had just said she was quitting acting, so Qiao Yu assumed she was only joking to deliberately annoy Ye Yunjian.

She carefully observed Song Wanying’s arm, then blinked and looked up.

“But with medical technology so advanced now, treatment shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Song Wanying smiled softly.

“You really don’t want me to have a scar?”

Qiao Yu was momentarily stunned.

“Of course!” She said puffing out her cheeks.

“How can this little flaw affect Sister’s beauty!”

Her assertiveness suddenly weakened.

Qiao Yu cautiously said, “But having a little scar is fine too. I’ll still like you no matter what you become, Sister.”

Qiao Yu leaned over the bed edge, watching her, her smile warm.

“Sister, you look good no matter what.”

The light shining in from the window fell on Qiao Yu.

Her luminous white skin seemed to be plated with a pearly sheen, incredibly soft.

When those dark, bright eyes stared unblinkingly at someone like this, it always made the person feel a romantic illusion that they were her everything.

And then greedily wish for more.

Song Wanying closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the deep emotion in her eyes startled Qiao Yu.

Her fingertips instinctively gripped the bedsheet.

Qiao Yu licked her lips and looked wary.

“Sister Song, you just had surgery. You should rest first. I’ll come back to see you in a couple of days.”

Song Wanying didn’t respond immediately.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu was about to get up and leave.

But before she could stand steady, a hand reached out from the bed, gently hooked her waist, and pulled her whole body onto the bed.

After a moment of dizziness, Qiao Yu looked up through her dark hair and saw Song Wanying’s face right next to hers.

The woman’s features were exquisite, her skin glowing white, with hardly any flaws.

Her makeup was beautiful, and every part of her, down to a single eyelash, was delicate.

The pheromones, carrying a fragrance, unexpectedly pierced her nose, instantly disrupting all of Qiao Yu’s thoughts.

Qiao Yu stared blankly as the woman’s narrow, enchanting eyes curved into a meaningful smile.

It wasn’t until she followed the other person’s gaze downward that her palm felt hot, and she quickly moved it away.

“I didn’t mean to!”

The soft sensation still lingered on her palm.

Qiao Yu was so embarrassed her face turned red.

She quickly wriggled her fingers, struggling to get up from Song Wanying, but the woman held her tightly, clearly reluctant to let her go like that.

Her raven-like eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Song Wanying slowly raised her eyelids, her tone teasing.

“Then you meant to?”

Qiao Yu choked, too guilty to speak.

Ye Yunjian saw the two of them huddled together, pushed the door open, and leaned against the doorframe, lazily glancing at Song Wanying.

“Are you two done talking?” She paused, then complained, “I’m tired of waiting.”

Song Wanying lifted her eyelids.

“No.”

Finally, slowly releasing the person from her arm, Song Wanying rubbed the spot where Qiao Yu had bumped her, grumbling, “Can’t you be a little more gentle?”

Ye Yunjian watched Song Wanying with a smiling face.

Song Wanying glanced at her twice, giving up on the shameless woman.

“Go home early.

Stop hanging around with disreputable people outside.”

The disreputable person in her mouth was clearly Ye Yunjian.

Qiao Yu didn’t dare to get involved in the battle between the two powerhouses, so she could only vaguely nod.

Gently closing the door, Qiao Yu hurriedly pulled Ye Yunjian away from the ward.

Ye Yunjian had long legs, yet even when being pulled, she walked slowly and deliberately, precisely matching Qiao Yu’s urgent pace.

Sometimes, when pulled too quickly, she would lazily say, “Walk slower.”

Seeing Qiao Yu unmoved, Ye Yunjian said with a laugh in her voice, “Young people are always so impatient.”

Qiao Yu finally stopped, turning around to look at her pleadingly.

Ye Yunjian raised her eyebrow again.

“Why did you stop walking now?”

The woman’s malicious little temper was fully exposed at this moment.

Qiao Yu gritted her teeth, but suddenly didn’t know how to bring up the subject with her.

Ye Yunjian watched her changing expression with interest, the amusement in her eyes deepening.

She is indeed a little fox raised by two old foxes.

Much more interesting than an ordinary omega.

Qiao Yu couldn’t gauge or guess the woman’s intentions.

After pondering for a while, she simply shamelessly started to flirt.

“Auntie Ye.” She called softly, her voice sweet and gentle, openly enticing Ye Yunjian.

Qiao Yu walked closer to her, almost entering Ye Yunjian’s personal space.

“Auntie Ye, can we just let what happened in the past go, okay?”

The smile on Ye Yunjian’s face deepened.

She deliberately lowered her voice, feigning ignorance.

“Which incident are you referring to?”

She clearly knew, but deliberately pretended to be clueless.

Qiao Yu was a little annoyed but helpless.

She could only puff out her cheeks and look at the other person pitifully, threatening Ye Yunjian harmlessly.

“Auntie Ye, you know it wouldn’t be good for either of us if this matter got blown up, right?”

She tried her best to look sincere and persuade her, but Ye Yunjian only laughed when she heard it.

“I know.”

The woman slowly leaned closer.

Her warm breath fell on Qiao Yu’s cheek, carrying the alpha pheromones that made her want to run away yet deeply desired.

“But I don’t really mind.”

A hint of curiosity was in her eyes.

“Do you mind a lot?”

The words “Of course I do” almost slipped out.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu realized it just in time and quickly bit them back.

“I don’t mind too much either…”

Not a chance!

If Mrs. Qiao found out, she’d be skinned alive!

Ye Yunjian seemed determined to play dumb to the end.

Qiao Yu gritted her teeth, and finally decided to hell with it.

When the sky falls, the tallest person catches it.

She’d just push Ye Yunjian out then.

The more Qiao Yu thought, the clearer her reasoning became.

After all, she was just a fragile, helpless, and legally protected rare omega, so what fault could she have?

The fault lay with alphas like Ye Yunjian, who were immoral and had no boundaries, deliberately seducing her with pheromones.

If she hadn’t been seduced by her pheromones, how could she have made such a mistake?

The system had been listening for a while.

“…” She’s a logic genius.

It’s a pity she’s not an emotional consultant.

The young girl instantly changed to a relaxed expression, her voice soft and sweet as she changed the subject.

“Auntie, aren’t you busy today?” She blinked expectantly, gazing at the person.

“Auntie, you didn’t come here just to see me, did you?”

The smile on Ye Yunjian’s face deepened.

She changed her posture, putting one hand in her suit pocket.

Hearing this, she asked in surprise, “Why would you think that?”

Qiao Yu was silent for a long time.

“…” I’m sorry for bothering you.

Giving a dry laugh, Qiao Yu changed the topic again.

She was struggling with how to bring up leaving with Ye Yunjian when Ye Yunjian’s phone suddenly rang.

Qiao Yu’s eyes lit up, and she quickly said, “Auntie, you answer the phone then. I won’t bother you. Bye!”

She ran away quickly.

Ye Yunjian held her phone, unable to resist calling out to her.

“That’s the stairs.”

“I know. I just want to take the stairs to get some exercise.”

Her playful voice drifted from the stairwell, getting farther and farther away.

Ye Yunjian watched her running away and smiled happily.

But the next second, after seeing the caller ID, the expression on her face instantly vanished completely.

“You’d better have something important to report to me.”

Sensing the threat and displeasure in her boss’s tone, the secretary shivered and quickly said, “Someone just discovered that Lu Shangyi has used certain methods to invest in and control the industries of most major families in the country.”

Knowing she had angered her boss, the secretary didn’t dare to beat around the bush and quickly said all the important information in one breath.

“It’s not just other families across the country. She’s also involved in your industry, CEO Ye…”

Qiao Yu ran a long distance and only sat down heavily on the steps to gasp for breath after confirming that Ye Yunjian hadn’t followed her.

Just as she was catching her breath, a shallow black shadow suddenly fell diagonally beside her.

She instinctively closed her mouth and was about to scream, but it was Jiang Mei who had walked over quietly.

Qiao Yu instantly felt like her throat was being squeezed.

She didn’t know whether to scream or not.

Jiang Mei stared quietly at the girl, whose expression was subtly contorted.

Her thin lips were pressed into a tight line.

In the faint light, Qiao Yu’s cheeks were slightly red, especially noticeable against her fair skin.

When she looked up, her eyes were expressive, and without any extra movement, she was already captivating, making people lose themselves in fantasy.

Normally, Jiang Mei would be lost in fascination, but at this moment, she had no mind for appreciation.

Stopping in front of the other person, Jiang Mei’s eyes quietly focused on the confused and helpless Qiao Yu.

She felt that the unexpected smile on her face at this moment was particularly jarring.

Did she smile at Ye Yunjian like this when she was held in her arms that day?

No, perhaps she smiled even sweeter and more radiantly than when she faced me.

Qiao Yu noticed Jiang Mei’s strangeness, but she didn’t think much of it.

She only thought the other person had been badly abused by Lu Shenghui and was waiting here specifically to talk to her.

She raised her hand and grabbed the other person’s wrist, trying to get her to sit next to her, but in the next second, the hand she extended was easily gripped and twisted back by Jiang Mei.

Jiang Mei gently squatted down in front of her.

No light could be seen in her deep, dark eyes.

They were heavy, making her heart tremble.

Instinctively calling out the other person’s name, Qiao Yu looked nervous.

“What’s wrong?” After a pause, she tried to reassure the other person.

“If you have anything upsetting, just tell me. I will do my best to help you punish the people who bullied you.”

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Jiang Mei slowly raised her eyes.

“No matter what, you’ll help me?”

“Of course.”

This was the little one she had painstakingly nurtured for two years.

How could she not help?

Squeezing Jiang Mei’s palm reassuringly, Qiao Yu said sincerely, “Don’t you know what kind of person I am? When have I ever lied to you?”

Jiang Mei didn’t speak, just quietly staring at her, staring until Qiao Yu felt uneasy, constantly wondering if she had done anything over the past two years that would affect her image in the female lead’s heart.

She looked so earnest.

Jiang Mei gave a small laugh.

“Then what if I want a person?”

In the darkness, her eyes grew deeper.

Qiao Yu was stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

Her voice trembled.

Qiao Yu stuttered before speaking.

“This is…” She looked very troubled.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you saw it just now. In front of Sister Song, I’m like a little chick that can be crushed at any moment, with no dignity to speak of.”

Qiao Yu concluded, “She might not be willing to listen to me.”

With every sentence she spoke, Jiang Mei’s face darkened a little.

Finally, Jiang Mei couldn’t help but interrupt her coldly.

“Can’t you tell? It’s always been you that I like.”

Qiao Yu was taken aback.

Jiang Mei closed her eyes, trying hard to make her tone gentler.

“Why do you think I like her?”

Once an alpha gets angry, the strong aura they emit is almost unbearable for an omega like her.

Qiao Yu’s face paled, finding it difficult to resist.

And Jiang Mei’s gaze suddenly became sharp.

“Do you know something?”

Qiao Yu naturally shook her head without hesitation to deny it.

Jiang Mei looked at her for a long time and gave up after not seeing any unusual expression on her face.

She leaned closer to Qiao Yu.

Her cool fingertips gently moved on Qiao Yu’s warm skin, inching toward the spot where she wore the inhibitor patch.

Feeling the body under her palm uncontrollably trembling, Jiang Mei gently lowered her eyes, her voice husky.

“Yu Yu.”

The female lead’s behavior was suddenly abnormal.

Qiao Yu was frantic and instinctively about to answer the other person.

But quickly, the other person’s hand was gently raised and covered her lips, preventing her from speaking.

The lips under her fingertip were warm and soft.

Every inch of her body made her want to possess her, unable to stop.

Jiang Mei smiled.

“Yu Yu, I don’t like it when you play dumb with me.”

Perhaps she wasn’t playing dumb, but that no longer mattered.

What mattered was that she wanted the other person to clearly know: She only ever had one person in her heart, and that was her.

The body Jiang Mei leaned closer carried a faint scent like sandalwood, but Qiao Yu was so soft all over from her touching that she didn’t have the presence of mind to notice these little details.

She tried hard to restrain Jiang Mei’s restless hand, not caring why the other person was suddenly acting so abnormal.

“I’ll listen to you.”

Her compliance did not please Jiang Mei.

Jiang Mei stared at her, seeing her brows furrowed in discomfort.

Her throat unconsciously moved twice, and the emotion in her eyes suddenly surged violently.

A loud alarm immediately rang in Qiao Yu’s mind.

She quickly dodged sideways and couldn’t help but accuse her.

“You’re bullying an omega.”

The word “omega” snapped Jiang Mei back to reality.

Her fingertips felt burned, and Jiang Mei quickly withdrew her hand.

Qiao Yu didn’t dare to let down her guard.

Her dark eyes, glistening with moisture, watched the other person.

Her soft gaze made the dark thoughts in people’s hearts grow restless.

Jiang Mei used all her strength to shift her gaze away from her.

She was afraid that if she looked one more time, she would be unable to resist claiming her for herself.

“My apologies.”

Reaching out to help Qiao Yu up from the steps, Jiang Mei spoke calmly.

It was unsafe for an omega to be alone in such a secluded parking lot.

Jiang Mei said to her, “I’ll take you back.”

“No need, I can take a taxi myself.”

After quickly refusing the other person, Jiang Mei’s look made her heart pound with the urge to run away in fear.

In the end, Jiang Mei didn’t force her, but that ambiguous look before she left made Qiao Yu even more flustered.

Qiao Yu really couldn’t figure out where things went wrong.

“You’d think the female lead and Song Wanying have met so many times now, why hasn’t she felt any spark with her?”

She should clearly be a sad, abandoned ex-wife right now, yet not only does the female lead not intend to abandon her, she actually wants to devour her and take her by force?

After discussing with the system for a long time, Qiao Yu suddenly had a moment of enlightenment and let out an “Ah.”

The system quickly pricked up its little ears, ready to hear the conclusion she had racked her brain for, but instead, it heard the girl say with a sense of wonder, “It’s all because I’m too good-looking.”

The system: “…”

Other than this reason, Qiao Yu truly couldn’t think of what charm she possessed that could deeply attract Jiang Mei.

Jiang Mei must have met many beautiful, rich, and wealthy people during this time, yet she was still fixated on her.

Couldn’t that prove her charm?

Qiao Yu was having a little moment of joy, when her phone suddenly rang, scaring both her and the system.

She quickly picked up the phone from the ground.

Qiao Yu saw a WeChat message from Lu Shangyi.

“If you dare to provoke my niece again.”
