Chapter 55 p2: Bar. Who secretly kissed me?
Cheng Yang sat on a stone pier, her arms crossed, a look of anger on her face.
She was not angry at anyone. She was angry at herself.
Xu Xun leaned over and sat behind her.
Cheng Yang asked, “Wifey, I just stepped on you several times. Does your foot still hurt?”
Xu Xun had her back to her, and her two arms were skillfully wrapped around Cheng Yang’s.
“It doesn’t hurt. You didn’t use any force at all. I didn’t feel anything.”
Looking at the bonfire in front of her, the singing band, and the various people dancing, Cheng Yang unconsciously curved her lips.
For the twenty-four years that she had been imprisoned, Cheng Yang had fantasized more than once that she could escape the cage.
But she was a bird with broken wings and couldn’t fly at all.
Cheng Yang looked at the slowly burning bonfire, and her eyes reflected the flickering firelight.
It made the flame in her heart that was about to stir burn even more fiercely.
“Yangyang, have you thought it through? Marry me and give your mom an explanation.”
Su Ran’s soft chuckle sounded by her ear. “I really didn’t expect you to come to me for this kind of thing.”
Cheng Yang sat on the sofa, looking at the computer in her arms with a blank expression.
“You talk too much.”
Su Ran twirled her beautiful golden hair, which was like a waterfall, with her finger and crossed her legs.
“I’m an Alpha. Are you trying to have an AA relationship with me?”
Cheng Yang didn’t even look up. “You know in your heart whether you’re an A or an O. Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been using your Omega flag to deceive how many Alphas.”
Su Ran cupped her cheeks in both hands. “Then didn’t I still fall into your hands? You don’t even know how popular I am.”
Cheng Yang looked up at her. “You should talk less. It’s annoying.”
Su Ran sighed. Seeing that this person was like a tightly sealed jar, she didn’t understand her humor at all.
“You weren’t like this when you were a child. You were so lively and cheerful before. I still remember you often provoking the big goose, and as a result, you were chased and bitten, and you were in so much pain that you were calling for your mom.”
“…”
Cheng Yang silently glanced at her and then retracted her gaze.
“That’s not true.”
Su Ran couldn’t help but laugh, holding her stomach.
She stood up and went around behind Cheng Yang, her two hands on her shoulders.
“I mean, what’s wrong with you? Others say you’re cold, but I think you’re just a stealthily sultry weirdo.”
Cheng Yang’s hand on the keyboard paused, and she pointed to the door.
“You can go out now.”
Su Ran sat beside her and took her arm intimately.
“Don’t. We’re already engaged. I’m yours now. Are you going to be so cruel to me?”
Cheng Yang extended two fingers and pushed away the hand that was on her arm.
“It’s just a verbal engagement, and it’s not like we can’t get a divorce in the future.”
Su Ran gritted her teeth. “We’re not even married yet, and you’re already thinking about how to divorce me, right?”
Cheng Yang’s eyes were fixed straight ahead. “That’s right.”
Su Ran gritted her back teeth. “You’re so cruel.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, at this moment, Cheng Yourong came in from outside.
Su Ran quickly hugged Cheng Yang and took her arm intimately.
“Honey, you’ve worked hard. I’ll feed you some fruit.”
Cheng Yang gritted her back teeth and nodded with difficulty.
Su Ran loved to see Cheng Yang’s defeated look, so she became even more aggressive.
She pretended not to see Cheng Yourong and rested her chin in the crook of Cheng Yang’s shoulder.
“Honey, are your shoulders sore? Let me rub them for you. You look so tired. I’m so heartbroken.”
“…”
Cheng Yang closed her eyes and, after a moment of mental preparation, she turned her head and looked at Su Ran with a deep and affectionate expression.
She forced a smile that was uglier than crying, but in reality, her back teeth were about to break.
“Okay.”
“You’ve worked hard too.”
As she said this, goosebumps appeared on Cheng Yang’s body.
She found that Su Ran’s expression was very wonderful, and there was even a trace of a cunning smile on her face.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and Su Ran slowly approached her, her red lips about to press against Cheng Yang’s mouth.
“Ahem.”
A cough came from behind her. Su Ran quickly leaned back, turned her head, and pretended not to know that Cheng Yourong was standing behind her, a look of terror and shyness on her face.
“Auntie, that, I…”
Cheng Yourong looked at her with a blank expression, her gaze on Cheng Yang.
“Although you’re getting engaged in a few days, you still have to have the proper rules. To be all over each other in broad daylight, people will laugh if they see it.”
Cheng Yang nodded. “Mom, I know. We’ll be careful.”
Cheng Yourong walked behind Cheng Yang. “Yangyang, come with me for a moment.”
Cheng Yang put down the computer in her hand and followed behind Cheng Yourong.
Su Ran sat alone on the sofa, bored, and looked at Cheng Yang’s back, and finally sighed.
In the study, Cheng Yourong stared straight at Cheng Yang, her brow tightly furrowed.
“Is this the gentle and sensible Omega you told me about?”
Cheng Yang retorted, “Isn’t she?”
Cheng Yourong frowned. “Are you doing this on purpose?”
Cheng Yang looked directly into Cheng Yourong’s eyes. “How would I dare to joke about the happiness of the rest of my life?”
She said against her conscience, “Su Ran is a very good person, and I also like her very much. We’re in love with each other.”
Cheng Yourong gave a cold smile. “Then what about Xu Xun?”
Cheng Yang sighed. “I know she and I are not the same kind of people, so I don’t have any hope of being together.”
Cheng Yourong was half-convinced, but from the performance of the two of them just now, the time of the engagement could be brought forward.
But Cheng Yourong was still not reconciled. “Of all the Omegas I showed you before, you didn’t like a single one? Why Su Ran? I don’t like her.”
“This is my marriage, and I’m looking for a partner.”
Cheng Yang stared straight at Cheng Yourong. “Mom, I’ve grown up. You don’t have to worry about my affairs. You just have to get well.”
Cheng Yourong was at a loss for words and finally sighed.
“Alright, I won’t mind you. Just don’t regret it.”
After saying this, Cheng Yourong turned and left.
Cheng Yang looked at her back. “I’ve done a lot of things I regret. I’m already used to it.”
Cheng Yourong turned back and looked at her only child.
She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, she swallowed the words she wanted to say.
“You take good care of yourself.”
After Cheng Yourong had left, Su Ran quickly walked into the study.
“Yangyang, what did your mom say to you?”
Cheng Yang looked at her and turned to walk out.
“Nothing.”
Su Ran asked in a small voice, “Your mom didn’t find out about our relationship, did she?”
“No.”
Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief. “I told you, my acting skills are superb. It’s no problem even if I debut directly. What do you think?”
Cheng Yang let out a cold “oh” and then stopped talking.
Su Ran shrugged her shoulders. “Why are you so boring? If you continue like this, you’ll get sick sooner or later. Why don’t you go out with me and have some fun?”
Cheng Yang shook her head. “I’m not going.”
Su Ran stood behind her and was about to put her arm around her.
Cheng Yang gave her a cold glance. “Let go. I’m not interested in you.”
Su Ran sighed. “Tsk, you person. Even if it’s a fake marriage, can’t we be intimate as friends? I haven’t seen you for so many years, and the moment you open your mouth, you make such an excessive request. Do you know that this is my first marriage! You’re really taking my kindness for granted!”
Cheng Yang closed her computer and slowly leaned back.
“I really have no choice. I’m sorry.”
Su Ran moved her lips. She was just about to tease Cheng Yang a few words but was surprised that the other had apologized to her.
“That, I was just joking.”
Su Ran sat beside Cheng Yang and looked at her melancholic eyes, completely baffled.
“I don’t understand. Since you’re her only daughter, why can’t you even make your own decisions about marriage?”
Cheng Yang lowered her eyes. “My mom doesn’t like her.”
When Su Ran heard this, she immediately became gossipy.
“What? You have someone in your heart?”
Cheng Yang nodded. “But I can’t be with her. I can’t give her happiness. There’s almost no possibility between us.”
Su Ran couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t expect you to be such a romantic. If it were me, I would have eloped with the person long ago. I wouldn’t have stayed and suffered.”
Cheng Yang slowly closed her eyes. “You don’t know my mom. No matter where I go, she won’t let me go. And…”
She looked at the wound on her palm. It was from when she had fought with Cheng Yourong for a fruit knife a while ago and had accidentally cut herself.
Cheng Yourong was very extreme in her actions and would not hesitate to threaten with death.
On one side was the person she liked, and on the other was her mother who was related to her by blood.
Cheng Yang had no choice. She chose Cheng Yourong without hesitation.
She would listen to her, follow her arrangements, and live the rest of her life without any of her own opinions.
As for Xu Xun, she was only suitable to be quietly hidden in her heart.
Cheng Yang let out a long sigh. “Su Ran, have you chosen the evening gown for the engagement banquet?”
Su Ran rested her chin on one hand. “I want to wear something sexy, but your mom definitely won’t agree. It’s so boring.”
Cheng Yang handed her the tablet in her hand. “It’s fine. Wear whatever you want. Don’t mind her opinion. She doesn’t like you. She’ll be annoyed no matter what you wear.”
Su Ran threw the tablet to the side and patted Cheng Yang’s shoulder.
“Don’t be so sad. I’ll take you to a fun place.”
Cheng Yang frowned slightly. “What fun place?”
Su Ran smiled mysteriously. “I won’t tell you yet. You’ll know when you get there.”
The moment she heard it, it didn’t sound like a good place. Cheng Yang shook her head.
“I’m not going.”
Su Ran said coquettishly, “Come on, come on. I told my friends that I’m getting married. They all want to see what my other half looks like. You can’t embarrass me.”
Under Su Ran’s pestering, Cheng Yang finally had no temper left.
She looked at her watch. “I have to be home before nine.”
Su Ran crossed her arms and gently cursed her, “Little old-fashioned.”
“You’re really something. At midnight, the nightlife is just beginning, and you have to go home at nine. Are you an old person?”
Cheng Yang was expressionless. “Then I’m not going.”
In the end, Cheng Yang still got into Su Ran’s car.
She didn’t dress up and just wore her usual simple shirt and long pants.
The car drove to the entrance of a bar, and Cheng Yang was taken in by Su Ran by the arm.
She didn’t notice that after she had gone in, there was an inconspicuous white car parked nearby.
A person wearing a hat and a mask, completely covered up, got out of the car.
She looked at the intimate appearance of Cheng Yang and another stranger, and the fist hanging by her side slowly clenched.
The bar was opened by Su Ran. She usually liked to stay here to drink and hunt for beauties. When she ran into someone she liked, she would take the initiative to hand them a drink, and as they drank, she would take them away.
Cheng Yang had never been to a bar before. This was indeed her first time.
The bar was different from what she had imagined.
It was clean and tidy, and a faint, addictive citrus fragrance floated in the air.
A group of people were drinking and reveling. Su Ran took Cheng Yang’s hand and walked up to the highest platform.
“Everyone, stop for a moment. Let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Cheng Yang.”
The moment she finished speaking, the cheers below grew even louder.
Su Ran became more aggressive. She wanted to tease Cheng Yang, so she hooked her arms around her neck.
“Honey, we’re getting engaged this weekend. Have you thought about what you want to say to me at the banquet?”
Cheng Yang had a fake smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at Su Ran.
“I’ve thought about it.”
Su Ran couldn’t help but shiver. She quickly let go of her and made a shy expression.
Cheng Yang looked around at the people below and saw other things on their faces.
There was novelty, doubt, envy, and even greed on some people’s faces.
Cheng Yang had long been immune to these complicated gazes. She nonchalantly went through the crowd and sat in the most corner seat.
Su Ran also followed, holding a glass of Orange Sea. “Honey, have a drink.”
Cheng Yang was not a bad drinker, but she had no appetite now.
“I don’t want to drink. Why don’t you go and find someone else?”
Su Ran couldn’t help but laugh. She covered her mouth and said, “I’m your fiancée now, and you’re still sitting here. Is it appropriate for me to go and hit on someone else?”
Cheng Yang looked at the orange-toned wine in front of her, an indifferent attitude.
“Do as you please. I don’t mind.”
Su Ran burst out laughing. “You’re so generous. Does auntie know?”
Cheng Yang took a sip of the wine, her body a little warm.
“Do as you please. Just don’t let anyone find out.”
At this moment, Su Ran’s phone rang.
She glanced at it and found that a cute little kid had sent her a message, and even said they missed her.
Su Ran put down her phone and looked at the slightly flushed Cheng Yang with a smile.
“Then I’ll be going. I’m going to sleep with another honey now. You won’t be angry, will you?”
Cheng Yang held her forehead and waved her hand at her like she was shooing away a fly.
After Su Ran had left, Cheng Yang drank this glass of fruit wine in one go.
She looked at the lemon slice embedded in the wall of the glass, slowly took it out with her hand, and tore it into several pieces.
Although she was sitting in a corner, her temperament and her unforgettable face attracted many people to come over.
“Honey, are you alone?”
An Omega holding a wine glass said with a smile, “You’re so beautiful, like a big star on TV. Can I buy you a drink?”
Cheng Yang was a little drunk. She curled her lips into a smile, her eyes shimmering, and she swayed gracefully under the lights.
“Okay.”
The Omega’s breath caught.
Cheng Yang took the other’s wine glass.
But at this moment, the entire bar was suddenly plunged into darkness, and you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
Cheng Yang held this glass of wine, dizzy.
Her ears were noisy, and there seemed to be a breathing sound that was getting closer and closer.
The next second, her lips were fiercely sealed by someone.
