After an Alluring Alpha Provokes an Unhinged Omega 72

Chapter 72: Satisfy

By the time Yan Wei actually said those words, Jiang Mi was stunned for a moment. But she quickly came back to her senses, her left shoulder lightly leaning against the door, her voice so soft and gentle, “But Teacher Yan… it’s not convenient right now.”

Yan Wei’s brow raised almost imperceptibly, and the tip of her foot moved forward half an inch. The surrounding air seemed to tighten, filled with a dangerous pressure.

Jiang Mi’s expression didn’t change, and she even curved her eyes at her. “You saw it too. How many people has it been? If someone comes again or finds that we haven’t been back for a long time, it’s not appropriate, right?”

Any excuse would do. It was just a reason and a pretext.

Of course, Yan Wei also knew this. Jiang Mi was planning to go back on her word. From the moment she had stepped back and asked her to beg, Jiang Mi had already made up her mind. What was strange was that not only was she not annoyed, but the stuffiness in her chest was replaced by a subtle, thorny pleasure.

At least, at this moment, Jiang Mi was standing right in front of her, so close that she could feel her breath. At least it was much better than before.

But even so, the debts she had to settle, not a single one would be left out in the future.

Yan Wei shook her head gently, her voice showing no emotion. “What if I don’t accept?”

“You don’t seem to have a choice.” Jiang Mi’s eyes sparkled. She deliberately paused, then slowly added, “And I feel that Teacher Yan, you weren’t very sincere just now. The way you begged me…” her gaze slid over Yan Wei’s tense jaw, and then back to her eyes.

“It wasn’t genuine enough.”

“What would be genuine enough?”

“That’s a problem you need to solve.”

A strange, tingling sensation, with a hint of control, shot through Jiang Mi’s spine, like drinking a fizzy, iced drink, clear and stimulating. She listened to the corridor, and after confirming that there were no footsteps, she said, “I’ll go out first. Teacher Yan, would it be a problem to trouble you to wait for two minutes?”

“What do you think?” Yan Wei asked in return.

“I don’t know.” Jiang Mi’s gaze swept over Yan Wei’s tightly pressed lips. “After all, you never listen to what I say.”

Yan Wei: “…”

Yan Wei unconsciously bit the soft flesh in her mouth. Jiang Mi had improved. Now, she was playing the game of retreating to advance as beautifully as a flower. Even though she was extremely annoyed in her heart, and the nameless fire in her heart was burning even more fiercely, she was still inexplicably guilty by what Jiang Mi had said.

What do you mean, I never listen to what you say?

But when she weighed these words in her heart, the past rushed back to her memory like a fast car. Jiang Mi seemed to have said something similar a long time ago.

Last time, Tan Zhaoxin had also reminded her of this.

Jiang Mi couldn’t understand Yan Wei’s silence at this moment.

That face, which was always filled with a cold, sharp pressure, was now as if it were covered with a layer of fog, and it actually showed a hint of a bitter feeling from being hit in a soft spot.

Normally, Yan Wei would have long since used sharper words or actions to refute her—in fact, her physical strength had recovered quickly, so she was also prepared to stop Yan Wei from acting recklessly.

How strange.

What was even stranger was.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Yan Wei suddenly relaxed, and when she stepped back, her heel made a light sound. But her chin was slightly raised, like some kind of declaration. She said very slowly and lightly, “But Mimi, what you owe me, you have to pay me back next time.”

Jiang Mi watched Yan Wei step back, but her gaze was as deep as a hunter’s, fixed on her.

That gaze made the back of Jiang Mi’s neck suddenly feel cold.

Her fingers clenched the cold metal doorknob. She glanced back again and saw that Yan Wei was still standing there, looking at her—only then did she turn the handle and slip out.

Jiang Mi pulled open the crack in the door and slipped out. The warm yellow overhead light in the corridor cut a mark on the carpet. She didn’t look back, and her high heels made a dull sound on the carpet.

Two minutes later, Yan Wei pushed open the same door. The corridor was empty, with only the faint milky pheromone scent lingering.

She returned to the restaurant. Where was Jiang Mi’s figure at the table? She held her wine glass, and her fingertips pressed a pale mark on the bottom of the glass. Only then did Zhao Xi inform her that Jiang Mi had already left before she had returned.

Half an hour later, the hotel door lock made a light click.

Jiang Mi kicked off her shoes, walked to the sofa, and sat down. The phone screen in her hand suddenly lit up, and a string of strange numbers was particularly glaring in her eyes.

Jiang Mi was pulling off her earrings. Jiang Hu, who was curled up on the sofa, looked up from her tablet, her fingertips still hovering over the game’s pause button. She kicked Jiang Mi’s calf with her foot. “The phone has been vibrating three times. Are you being targeted by a scam group? They’re so persistent.”

Jiang Mi rolled her eyes at her. “Mind your own business about a star’s affairs.”

She stared at the strange number, her heart pounding. After a few seconds, she finally bent down, picked up her phone, cleared her throat, and swiped the answer button to her ear. “Hello?”

A very light breath came from the receiver. “You’ve arrived?”

“Mmm.”

Jiang Mi curled her fingertips.

Yan Wei’s phone number had long since been blacklisted by her, but she just knew who was calling. But this probably also had a lot to do with the similarity of this strange number.

This number was only two digits different from Yan Wei’s previous number. She suspected that Yan Wei was doing it on purpose, and was even stubborn.

She believed that if she blacklisted this number again, Yan Wei would change to another similar one—If you blacklist me, I’ll make you never forget me.

But Yan Wei was very smart. She hadn’t just dialed this call randomly. It was only after she had sensed her softened attitude that she had taken a step closer. Otherwise, too many phone numbers would be too much to change.

Probing, pulling, step by step.

Speaking of which, this was within her expectations.

In the brief few seconds of silence, Jiang Mi’s thoughts were a little light. The suppressed temperature of her heat gradually covered her earlobes.

Just half an hour ago, she and Yan Wei had been so close. She had also heard Yan Wei’s voice so clearly. But the moment the current delivered that voice to her eardrum, her body felt a sense of pleasure before her consciousness.

A light sound of glass being tapped came from the receiver. Jiang Mi could almost imagine Yan Wei tapping the car window with her knuckles.

Yan Wei asked her, “You just left?”

Jiang Mi said, “What else?”

She added, “Didn’t I say I would leave first?”

“You only said you would go out first.”

Yan Wei’s tone was not heavy, but it contained a hint of stubbornness and an inexplicable childishness.

“I didn’t say.”

Jiang Hu could hear a little bit of the voice. Her peripheral vision glanced over, and she suddenly raised her voice, “Whose call is that?”

The other end of the line was quiet for two beats. When Yan Wei spoke again, her voice was cold. “You’re living with Jiang Hu?”

Jiang Mi put her earrings on the coffee table. The crisp sound of the collision, along with her voice, landed in the receiver. “Even the high and mighty Teacher Yan has so many friends. Can’t I live in the same room with my sister?”

The moment her words fell, she didn’t wait for the other party’s response and directly put her phone under the pillow.

Hanging up, Yan Wei had done it before anyway. At most, she was just letting Yan Wei feel it now. Originally, she had just wanted to deliberately provoke Yan Wei, but she hadn’t expected that after saying this, her mood was really not that good.

Thinking of the photo Mo Xi had shown her, her heart was stuffy, and a fire that had come from nowhere was drilling into her heart.

She thought about it. Today’s scene with Yan Wei, it was hard to say that it wasn’t “for a reason.”

Yan Wei’s knuckles, holding the phone, were so tight they were white. The busy tone in the receiver was still vibrating in her ear. Jiang Mi’s “Can’t I live in the same room with my sister?”

Like countless needles, it was pricking her temples, throbbing.

Jiang Mi was still in heat. Jiang Hu was not Jiang Mi’s biological sister. Even if she were, at a time like this, living under the same roof…

Yan Wei gritted her teeth, her fingers trembling slightly.

When the phone screen lit up again, Tan Zhaoxin’s name was glaringly bright.

“Mo Yun has gotten in touch with the people from Express. That reporter is unyielding. I’m afraid she’s going to flip the table.”

Yan Wei lowered the car window. At this time of year, and at night, the wind outside was really cool. But the agitation in her heart could not be cooled down. “Don’t worry about it.”

She took out a cigarette from her handbag, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep drag.

“What do you mean, don’t worry about it?” Tan Zhaoxin asked.

“Just now… I figured something out.”

“What?”

“I was soft-hearted before. Not because of Mo Yun, but because once this matter blew up, Jiang Mi’s misunderstanding of me would be even deeper. So I let her go. But I found that things don’t seem to be like this.”

“To be more specific, so what?”

“Between me and Mo Yun, only one of us can live.”

She looked up. A moth was flying towards a streetlight. She seemed to be able to hear the faint sound of the collision. She stared at that struggling light, and her words were ground out even more slowly, “I can’t let her be active in my world, because I don’t have the energy to deal with her now, and I don’t want to spend more energy. Most importantly, once my business with Jiang Mi is exposed, she will go to Jiang Mi again.”

The other end of the line was dead silent for two seconds.

“What are you going to do? Wait… this is a society ruled by law. Don’t act recklessly. And you’re not thinking of going public with Jiang Mi, are you?” Tan Zhaoxin gasped. “Does Jiang Mi know about this? Yan Wei, listen to me—”

“I’m just making plans in advance.”

Yan Wei’s gaze swept over the rearview mirror, and the mirror reflected the cold curve of her lips.

Tan Zhaoxin was slightly relieved. She was afraid that Yan Wei would recklessly make her relationship with Jiang Mi even more strained, and then even if she wanted to help, it would be useless.

“Don’t worry. Since I have the idea, I won’t play with fire. I just want Mo Yun to disappear from my side, from Jiang Mi’s side.” Yan Wei’s tone was serious. “From tomorrow on, don’t block any negative news, especially about Mo Yun and me. Not only should you not care, but you should also help her…”

The sound of smoking came from the receiver. Tan Zhaoxin was silent for a few seconds. “How can I help?”

“Let the events of that year be exposed again. Find a reporter to interview Mo Yun. It’s best if she can cry in front of the camera. Make a big deal out of it. It’s best if I can become a street rat that everyone shouts at. Understand?”

She was very calm, arranging it word by word with extreme rationality.

“Are you crazy?” Tan Zhaoxin could only spit out these three words after a long time.

Tan Zhaoxin: “What nonsense are you talking about? A street rat? You’re Yan Wei!”

“It’s not important.”

Yan Wei really didn’t care. “A movie queen and a rat are just titles. It all depends on which one is most beneficial to me at the moment. I can’t wait, Tan Zhaoxin. I can’t play this game with Jiang Mi anymore. I want her to come back to my side. Before that, I have to deal with all the external accidents.”

“Is it all for Jiang Mi?”

“No,” Yan Wei said. “It’s for myself.”

She couldn’t take it anymore.

Even just thinking of Jiang Mi being in the same space with another person made her feel like there were thousands of ants biting her heart.

Tan Zhaoxin thought for a long time, and finally sighed. “Is it worth it? If this matter blows up, those who don’t know the truth will really eat you up until there’s nothing left. In just one night, all your years of hard work will be in vain.”

Even if Yan Wei had the ability and the arrangements, and could make a comeback one day, this kind of gap, and even being boycotted by everyone, the pain of being cyberbullied, was not something an ordinary person could bear.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn’t want Yan Wei to do this.

“Then it will become very pitiful, right?” Yan Wei didn’t know what she was thinking, and suddenly let out a laugh.

Then will Jiang Mi be soft-hearted faster?

Tan Zhaoxin: “…You’re really…”

Crazy.

Yan Wei knew what she was going to say. She was noncommittal.

“I’m standing too high. Even you think I shouldn’t fall. Of course, Jiang Mi is the same. But what’s there to say about what should or shouldn’t be in this world?”

Someone always has to fall from the altar to make it more precious, right?

Actually, she hadn’t finished her words.

Jiang Mi wanted her to beg. It was nothing more than wanting her to bow her head.

She had thought that it would be very difficult for her to do this in her lifetime. But today, in that one moment, she suddenly felt that it was not that difficult.

Even when she saw the satisfaction in Jiang Mi’s eyes, her heart actually felt a little bit of a tingling sensation. Her body, and even her consciousness, was willing to submit for a moment…

She had been thinking all the way, what was Jiang Mi’s motive for saying that?

Was it because Jiang Mi felt that she had been high and mighty before, difficult to get close to? Was it because no matter how intimate they were, there was always a distance? Was it because they had no time and space to be close in the past?

So Jiang Mi felt that she had been too controlling. Now that they were separated, Jiang Mi also wanted to taste the pleasure of controlling her.

This didn’t seem to be a good thing for her, but she didn’t feel any disgust.

In the past, she didn’t know what Jiang Mi wanted, and Jiang Mi didn’t know what she wanted… but recently, she had gradually understood a little.

But even so.

Passing on messages, monitoring, visiting the set.

Even when they met, a kiss that was a result of an accident was not enough for her at all. She couldn’t get closer to Jiang Mi.

These were not enough.

Not enough!

A way to make Mo Yun disappear and to get closer to Jiang Mi, this seemed to be the best one.

Since the distance between her and Jiang Mi was too far, then she would just fall first.

If Jiang Mi wanted her to beg, she would beg. As long as Jiang Mi was hers, it was fine.

Of course, if Jiang Mi liked it, she was also willing to beg in other places.
