Chapter 21

The car interior was cramped and sweltering with heat.

It was the scorching blaze woven from Omega pheromones—Qin Yushu’s pheromones had overflowed once again.

Tangible and real.

Perhaps.

Among them were even hers… the pheromones belonging to an Alpha.

Qin Yushu still maintained the posture of pressing down on the back of Lu Ningshuang’s head.

Even before they had received their marriage certificates that day, the two had signed a contract the night before. Qin Yushu had pulled it out on the spot, even faster than the first time she had summoned her to the office to hand over the contract.

It was hard not to suspect that someone had been plotting this for a long time.

And that was indeed the fact.

Now.

On the contract.

In black and white.

Every clause and example was written clearly.

With the partner relationship established by the agreement, it became more convenient for each to achieve their goals. Thus, the basic monthly terms no longer specified a limit on the number of times.

It could be said that the current Qin Yushu no longer needed to seek Lu Ningshuang’s consent—as long as she issued the order, the other party had to provide it unconditionally.

If she wanted it.

She had to give it.

—That was what true obedience looked like.

Naturally.

Qin Yushu didn’t need to resort to such coercive methods. On one hand, she disdained it; on the other, commands laced with an air of authority were bound to displease, and the experience she gained might not be good either.

To achieve her goal, she had countless methods at her disposal. As long as the final destination reached the expected outcome, it was as she wished.

There was no need for such despicableness.

Or rather, she had switched to a more subtle form of “despicableness.”

At this moment, with fragrant beauty right before her.

But—

Lu Ningshuang had grown!

She was no longer that naive little chick from the beginning!

She had some memorable experiences under her belt now. This time, facing Qin Yushu’s temptation once more, the Alpha actually managed to hold herself back for once!

The Alpha furrowed her good-looking brows, her gaze patrolling Qin Yushu’s face, which was tinged with a thin layer of rouge.

“Your glands are always…”

Qin Yushu casually stroked that spot, her expression somewhat obscured as she lowered her eyes.

Qin Yushu interrupted: “Probably just not quite adapted yet.”

Lu Ningshuang expressed concern. “If it’s this serious, should we go to the hospital and get it checked?”

“No need.”

Qin Yushu said, “Maybe I just fed it too much at once.”

Lu ·Overfed Culprit· Ningshuang: “…………”

“It’ll ease up after a while.”

Since Qin Yushu had said so, what more could Lu Ningshuang say?

Don’t be fooled by the big boss treating her so amiably now, seeming perfectly reasonable—that was only because the other was willing to indulge her!

She was still just a freeloading Alpha at heart, one who had to depend on others’ roofs, faces, and breaths to survive during this period. If one day Qin Yushu decided to revoke all the “privileges” she had granted.

Then, the Alpha, who had grown accustomed to pride, would plummet back into the abyss, never to recover.

Therefore.

Bedroom romps were romps, markings were markings, but regarding this point, Lu Ningshuang always kept it firmly in mind.

She constantly reminded herself to watch her limits and boundaries.

Even if her heart softened…

Fine, she still couldn’t help being bewitched by Qin Yushu’s beauty.

And it was the same now—

“Miss Lu, I wouldn’t count as freeloading anymore now.”

Qin Yushu’s beautiful eyes held a hint of amusement as she looked at her, then suddenly added.

Lu Ningshuang, who hadn’t caught on: “Ah?”

The Omega clearly didn’t want to dwell too much on that previous issue.

But now, the Alpha before her was her legal partner.

Why not make full use of it?

Qin Yushu’s pheromones, once out of control, spread like a flood or fierce beast, diffusing rapidly.

When Lu Ningshuang looked again, the faint rouge at the corners of the Omega’s eyes had bloomed into a Manjusaka in full flourish.

What was once just a thin layer now flooded outward, overwhelming even those deep yet clear black eyes, staining them with rolling, lingering hues.

It was like peach branches blooming early in March—clearly just sprouting, with tender tips barely unfurling hints of pale pink, only to be swept by a mountain storm. Not even needing one night of spring breeze, they turned a vivid crimson.

Like the mole dotted at the center of her brow, burning fiercely, scorching the eyes of the one gazing at her with added traces of delicate peach blush.

This sight was undoubtedly millions of times more captivating than Lu Ningshuang’s own flushed cheeks, which she could barely control.

Appreciating the beauty mere inches away, a question mark slowly formed above Lu Ningshuang’s head—

Ah???

“I’ve paid.”

Qin Yushu said.

She smiled again, dazed and intoxicating. “Miss Lu, since we’re here, you can’t just go through the motions without putting in the effort, right?”

Lu Ningshuang: “…”

She had gained new insight—”since we’re here” could be used like that?

The scenery before her was breathtaking, but this Alpha’s thought process was always a bit unconventional.

She tilted her head. “Then is President Qin going to report me to the 315 Consumer Association?”

The last few words were light, but she felt a bit guilty saying them.

Qin Yushu, influenced and tormented by the pheromones, still had the mood to raise a brow at her—this self-control was impressive.

“No.”

Before Lu Ningshuang could exhale in relief, the Omega continued, “For something this minor, I can handle it myself with house rules.”

Lu Ningshuang, breath not yet even: “What house rules?”

Curious.jpg

Qin Yushu’s tone was light yet resolute. “I am the house rules.”

Lu Ningshuang: “…”

So in the end, no matter what, she always ended up in the other’s hands, at her mercy… cough cough, right?

“No.”

Lu ·Science Major· Ningshuang quickly found the loophole in Qin Yushu’s words. “You haven’t paid yet!”

The knowing smile on Qin Yushu’s face paused slightly. She released Lu Ningshuang and reached for something instead.

Lu Ningshuang followed closely, craning her neck to peek.

She saw Qin Yushu pull out a booklet-like thing—small and elongated, but it counted as a booklet?

With her other hand, she took out a fountain pen, uncapped it, and pressed the nib against the booklet she’d taken out first.

The Omega’s pen moved like a dragon and snake, swiftly scribbling a hasty yet vigorous calligraphic signature on the clean paper.

Her grip and stroke didn’t seem forceful, but the characters were bold and powerful, as if they could pierce the paper and leap out as spiritual beasts lunging at the viewer.

The handwriting style wasn’t very Omega-like.

Just like her entire being.

Unfortunately, Lu Ningshuang ate this up!

Then.

She capped the pen, tore off that page, and handed it straight to Lu Ningshuang.

The Alpha: “For me?”

Qin Yushu: “Take a look.”

Lu Ningshuang lowered her head and saw—ho, it was a check!

Not a blank one to fill casually, because Qin Yushu had already written fifty thousand yuan exactly.

How to put this?

Getting fifty thousand out of nowhere was quite a lot, especially compared to the initial monthly salary of two hundred thousand Qin Yushu had proposed—it was already much better.

Particularly for a poor soul like Lu Ningshuang.

But.

Wasn’t the same value… a bit too little for the big boss?

She quickly suppressed the thought. Clearly, she’d been flying too high lately.

She’d gotten carried away, looking down on even fifty thousand—definitely Lu Fugui, that money-grubber, who had led her astray!

“Is this okay now?” Qin Yushu asked again.

Earlier, the Omega had only pinched the corner of the check with her fingertip, and with the motion of handing it over, her knuckles appeared even longer, her hand even whiter.

She still hadn’t withdrawn it—

Bathed in the daylight, the entire hand was an even porcelain white, translucent enough that faint blue veins showed on the back, and at the fingertips, a touch of pinkish white on the nails.

Signs of exquisite, beautiful, and healthy perfection, perfect for more conveniently and solidly doing…

Certain things.

Her gaze traveled from face to hand.

The light of appreciation in Lu Ningshuang’s eyes for beautiful things never wavered. Hearing Qin Yushu’s question, she nodded subconsciously.

The distance closed once more.

Qin Yushu said: “Then, let’s collect some interest from Miss Lu while we’re at it.”

This time, the one being peeled open was Lu Ningshuang.

She did it like unwrapping a gift, unhurried, meticulous, and patient.

First, she brushed aside the Alpha’s long, straight black hair from her neck. The hand that had just touched the end of the check, still faintly scented with money, now caressed the back of Lu Ningshuang’s neck.

There, too, were the glands where the Alpha released her pheromones.

But without the enticement of Omega pheromones, an Alpha’s glands were just for show.

Once provoked, however, they would emit an alluring aura, echoing and responding to the Omega’s “invitation.” When emotions peaked, the pheromones intertwined and permeated each other…

The moment the mark was placed, the body’s surge was enough to make even the soul tremble.

In the previous two times.

The first, Qin Yushu had still been pretending; the second, Lu Ningshuang had served the Omega extremely well.

Qin Yushu had never thought to target the Alpha’s glands—until now—

Her own glands had acted up again.

Even before issuing her invitation to Lu Ningshuang under the guise of a reward, she had first noticed the anomaly in herself.

This period had been far too frequent.

Qin Yushu had always disliked exposing her weaknesses to others—unless it wasn’t a true weakness, just a fabrication that could bring her the quickest benefits and gains at the moment.

Also known as a “trap.”

Just like the first time they met, when she had set a trap for Lu Ningshuang.

Solving it herself was too troublesome. Since there was someone to help, why endure it grudgingly?

Thus, she once again silently pulled the young Alpha into it.

Of course, not to complete the act in the car—just to ease and resolve it simply. Hadn’t she “sold” the Alpha for exactly this purpose?

Both sides could enjoy it, so the Alpha didn’t lose out.

She just hadn’t expected the younger Alpha not to be entirely gullible, with unexpectedly sharp observation skills. Even though she had concealed it well, the other had pierced right through.

Unlike before.

This made Qin Yushu think of something else. Could all of Lu Ningshuang’s previous obedience and gullibility have been to reach this point today?

The innate scrutiny and suspicion of those in power.

But with Qin Yushu’s self-cultivation, she wouldn’t fly into a rage. Still, there was a touch of displeasure.

Recalling the changes in her body—hadn’t they started right after the first time she rolled in the sheets with this younger Alpha?

Though that had been her design.

But the current discomfort and trouble were real, inevitably making Qin Yushu feel a bit of displaced anger toward the once “useful” and “obedient” Alpha before her.

Her skin was snow-white.

The sensation for an Omega during marking was utterly unforgettable, unlike anything ordinary.

That was why there were so many “first time” tropes.

After those two times, using the excuse of washing up, Qin Yushu had checked the wound on her nape gland afterward, and it was somewhat shocking.

—Though she had enjoyed it immensely at the time.

Carrying that faint resentment and uncontrollable displeasure, Qin Yushu ignored the beautiful sight before her. Suddenly, she parted her vermilion lips and bit down on the Alpha’s gland.

“Hiss!”

Lu Ningshuang, who hadn’t known what the other intended at first, understood everything the moment the pain shot through her body.

Physiology knowledge from her student days flashed and swirled in her mind.

“Can Omegas mark Alphas too?” the pained Alpha asked in a daze.

Qin Yushu bit and released immediately. “No.”

“Then, what is this…”

The sudden surprise left Lu Ningshuang stumbling over her words.

Qin Yushu said: “I just wanted to do it.”

Lu Ningshuang: “…”

Just! Like! That?!

Fine.

You’re the big boss, you’re awesome.

Thus, Lu Ningshuang fell silent for a moment, then asked again.

“Will this make you feel better?”

Qin Yushu answered honestly: “Not really.”

“But psychologically, yes.”

“I see.”

“Mm.”

After a while.

The Alpha, who hadn’t responded for once, seemed to let out a sigh of compromise, her tone a bit different from her usual soft and glutinous speech.

“Alright.”

However, Qin Yushu’s head remained buried in Lu Ningshuang’s neck, so she could only listen and see nothing at all, let alone catch a glimpse of the Alpha’s expression.

Suddenly.

The Alpha’s dry yet warm palm settled over the Omega’s thick locks of hair. That playgirl’s big waves felt incredibly good to the touch, causing Lu Ningshuang to stroke them even more gently without thinking.

She pressed down again.

This was an action Qin Yushu had just performed on Lu Ningshuang moments ago, only now their roles as aggressor and defender had swapped.

Perhaps it was because that hand felt too soft and comfortable, but the pressure on Qin Yushu’s head turned tender as well.

In just that one motion, the pheromone-saturated, amorous air inside the car transformed into the cozy warmth shared between longtime spouses.

A voice as soothing as a gentle breeze drifted out slowly.

“Then go ahead and bite.”

Lu Ningshuang said.

“After all, I’m considered Miss Qin’s Alpha now.”

She had called her Miss Qin.

The Alpha seemed to chuckle softly—no longer that lingering softness laced with playful teasing, but something deeper, more bewitching.

It made the pheromone-leaking Omega feel exceptionally reassured.

Lu Ningshuang continued, “According to the agreement, I have the duty and responsibility to handle this part.”
