Lu Ningshuang leaned down to cover her—
The armrest gave her the high ground, making it the perfect launch point for her attack.
Alpha’s face remained as soft and harmless as ever, but when those doe eyes narrowed slightly, her originally straight and slightly downturned eye corners suddenly lifted upward.
The change gave her an air of sharp fierceness that was rare for her.
As if she could conquer cities and territories, unbeatable in battle.
The “army” in black pressed forward, instantly enveloping and covering the Omega still seated on the sofa.
The light from the overhead lamp scattered around them, casting a tall, entangled shadow on the wall behind.
The two figures intertwined.
Indistinguishable from each other.
Just before their lips met and swallowed everything…
—”Alright.”
Lu Ningshuang heard Qin Yushu’s muffled yet clear response.
Muffled, because it was swiftly engulfed;
Clear, because it came from the heart;
Then, a hot gale swept across the strait, cool sea waves crashed against the rocks, and seagulls flew low across the sky, letting out a call or two of courtship as they passed.
Stirring a faint echo.
Faint, yet innate from the heavens.
How could this not be from the heavens?
Lips met in warm softness, every breath exhaled scorching like midday flames.
With a tilt of the head, they merely brushed against each other, grinding through the tiniest gaps, sending shivers surging through her body.
Not to mention when the assault intensified, that tip of scarlet probed further, hotter body heat pouring over the already warm wetness—how could anyone withstand that?
From the heavens, falling back to earth.
At such close range, with eyes open, she could clearly see every lash of the other woman. One blink, and it brushed up a dense, sticky itch.
They had long passed the safe distance; now it was another level of intimate experience.
Qin Yushu took it all in.
The little dog was rarely so “fierce” this once, so she indulged her, handing over the initiative in this “accidental” boundary-crossing.
She also wanted to see just how far Alpha could go.
But how to put it?
Either the other woman was too proper, or simply too timid. Her soft lips and breaths started with thrilling teases, grinding repeatedly in the initial excitement, but that was it—no further escalation.
Thus, the final outcome was—
It stopped at lips and teeth, lingering only there.
Warmth aplenty, but lacking in eroticism.
That was Qin Yushu’s assessment of this “rebellion,” from her still-rational, clear-headed mind.
Seeing no further moves, President Qin with her big waves of hair grew bored.
“Enough.”
She turned her face away, easily dodging the assault without even needing to push against the other’s chest in a show of weakness.
Lu Ningshuang indeed stopped and pulled back.
What an obedient little dog.
She only made a fuss for a moment.
Qin Yushu no longer looked at her. She brushed her slightly disheveled long hair, her fingertips actually threading through the strands to touch the gland at the back of her neck.
Alpha was too inexperienced, but this also proved her unwavering purity.
The kiss had indeed heated up the atmosphere around them, but it stopped there.
At least.
At such close proximity, such intimate contact, there was no abnormal reaction from the Omega’s gland at the back of her neck.
Just a slight warmth—that was stirred by the rising passion. The little dog’s kissing skills were average, but she was her Alpha, already marked.
Yet this heat was still within Qin Yushu’s control. Years of endurance allowed her to suppress it effortlessly; she wouldn’t fall into a heat period frenzy.
During that second emergency shake with Lu Ningshuang, all her bodily indicators had been abnormal—she didn’t need checks to know; she felt it herself.
No one knew her body better than she did.
So, the current situation…
Did it mean this had nothing to do with the Alpha before her?
When she first noticed the irregularity in her gland, Qin Yushu hadn’t suspected Lu Ningshuang much; she was probably just coincidentally chosen.
But she hadn’t fully ruled her out either.
With so many enemies, she was naturally suspicious, always fearing a single misstep would let some unexpected hand strike her down when she was off guard!
So now, could Lu Ningshuang’s suspicion be completely eliminated?
Not quite.
Qin Yushu’s lips still bore the fresh red from the kiss, her eyes deep and profound—not with desire.
Perhaps the other had done it intentionally, even more cleverly, with this sudden “accident” all part of her scheme, aimed at…
In Qin Yushu’s position, every action of hers affected too much, interfered too widely, making her instinctively think toward the most complex scenarios.
Unwilling to overlook any detail.
But then.
She saw the little dog across from her, who after boldly kissing her, had reverted to her dazed, innocent expression.
Little Dog Lu sat there, waiting for a single command or gesture from her.
Did the other… really have the brains for that?
Alpha’s intelligence was erratic, sometimes with bizarre thought processes no normal person could imagine—completely counterintuitive, leaving even Qin Yushu unable to guess.
“Hand.” Qin Yushu spoke.
Lu Ningshuang, in a daze, actually placed her hand in Qin Yushu’s outstretched palm, only to have domineering President Qin flip it over and lightly smack the back of her hand.
The big sister sternly lectured: “Don’t be so groveling.”
Ah, she said it out loud.
Though Alpha didn’t know someone secretly called her “little dog” behind her back.
Lu·Obedient·Ningshuang: “…”
Was this a trap?
President Qin knew well to follow a stick with a sweet date. She crooked a finger at Lu Ningshuang. “Come here.”
A stunned pause.
The little dog, freshly lectured, came scampering over again.
Then, Qin Yushu pulled out the scarf she’d just tucked away, making even Lu Ningshuang wonder.
Was a mere scarf really meant to play so many roles…?
Qin Yushu gripped the middle of it, the navy softness engulfing the fairness of her hand. “Lean your head over.”
“Oh.”
Soon, the scarf was back around Lu Ningshuang’s neck, wrapped tightly two full times.
One more loop than before.
Lu Ningshuang: “…Huh?”
By the time she let go, Qin Yushu had already tidied herself up. Only her lip color was even more vivid and red than after drinking water.
She asked calmly, “How does it feel?”
“Just a little… hot?”
Lu Ningshuang answered honestly.
“No.”
Lu Ningshuang: ?
Qin Yushu smiled beautifully. The previous kiss had some effect, or perhaps under the halo of the overhead light, a soft glow flowed in her dark, bright eyes.
She declared: “You’re not hot.”
Lu Ningshuang: “…”
Lu Ningshuang tugged the scarf open a bit for air.
Her peripheral vision caught Qin Yushu watching, who clearly saw but merely observed leisurely without stopping her.
Thus, Lu Ningshuang didn’t dare pull too much, compromising: “Fine, I’m not hot.”
Qin Yushu said: “Wear it for one minute, then take it off yourself.”
Lu Ningshuang: “Okay.”
The little dog, briefly sated and obedient, didn’t fuss anymore. Idle Qin Yushu turned back to the documents—the rental agreement from the start.
She flipped a page casually, and the beauty on the sofa suddenly said: “Still don’t like it.”
The words came out of nowhere, but Lu Ningshuang reacted instantly.
“Oh.”
She acted normal, but her voice carried a hint of dejection.
Sad puppy.jpg
Another page flipped.
“But if Miss Lu feeds it to me this way…” Qin Yushu’s voice drew out slowly, whetting her appetite to the extreme.
Under Alpha’s increasingly bright gaze.
She took her time, toying with her heart.
“Occasionally tasting it isn’t bad.”
The little dog’s eyes lit up instantly, truly sparkling with light.
Lu Ningshuang had always admired Qin Yushu’s stunning beauty, unaware her own lips were kissed flushed red.
Her clear, innocent almond eyes brimmed with misty wetness; when they suddenly brightened, it was like rippling lake water gently stirred, waves upon waves.
Her cheeks even bore a faint pink from Omega’s deliberate mischief.
She too was a dazzling sight in others’ eyes.
Soon, time was up.
Lu Ningshuang untied the scarf symbolizing “loving restraint,” folded it neatly, and set it aside to take when Qin Yushu left.
Looking up, she saw Qin Yushu unscrewing a pen, writing something on the contract.
Lu Ningshuang tensed immediately. “Is there a problem with this contract?”
Qin Yushu: “I don’t know.”
“…?”
Qin Yushu: “I haven’t really looked. Or rather, I haven’t looked at all.”
Lu Ningshuang: ?????
Even more confused!
She leaned over and saw Qin Yushu on the last page, in the Party B column, writing her own name.
The handwriting was as wild and arrogant as ever, like dragons and phoenixes dancing.
Lu Ningshuang realized in shock: “You’re going to live here?”
Qin Yushu nodded slightly: “Why not?”
“How can—”
Lu Ningshuang exploded first—not from shyness or inferiority, but this place’s decor, furnishings, and location were all unworthy of Qin Yushu!
It was close to her small company, sure, but Qin Yushu mainly went to Tian Sheng—that was a long drive!
Seeing the little dog anxiously pacing, Qin Yushu didn’t tease too long this time. “I need to live with Miss Lu.”
She said, “You come to my place.”
Most people had a bit of mediocrity in them.
If you proposed something a tad excessive, they’d likely refuse outright; but if you first suggested something even more excessive, the milder one became the compromise—and easier to accept.
That’s the state Lu Ningshuang found herself in now.
She roughly understood: Qin Yushu’s initial request and subsequent questions had aimed at this.
If she’d just asked her to move over, she… well, she’d agree, but with some coy hesitation, using this rental as her best excuse.
Qin Yushu directly solved it with the lease.
With the signature, Qin Yushu became her tenant here; she going there made them mutual landlords.
On some level, it kept Alpha from being too much beneath Omega.
Quite thoughtful.
She didn’t need to accommodate her feelings like this.
Noticing Lu Ningshuang’s hesitation, Qin Yushu administered a heavy blow: “My gland and heat period are very unstable right now.”
“As an Omega, I very much like my Alpha’s help—that is, Miss Lu’s. If Miss Lu is too far from me, it will be quite inconvenient.”
Qin Yushu blinked lightly. “Does my Alpha want to see me suffer?”
The Omega seemed to show weakness, but wasn’t truly “weak.”
“Besides—”
Qin Yushu’s slender finger pressed to her lips again, rouge blooming, her dark eyes turning hazy and intoxicating.
She smiled. “We’ve kissed. Does Miss Lu want to eat dry and wipe clean, then deny it?”
Lu Ningshuang: “…”
One thing piled on another; the young Alpha couldn’t resist such an onslaught and finally raised her hands in surrender.
“Master, stop chanting! I’ll go, alright?!”
Qin Yushu: “…Hm?”
Alpha immediately switched to loyalty: “Yay! I’m super willing!!!”
Lu Ningshuang only packed a few changes of clothes.
Though Qin Yushu said everything was there, including…
The pampered spare-A little Lu still clutched her bundle tightly, stubbornly declaring, “No, this is my last bit of possessions!”
Qin Yushu: “Dowry?”
Lu Ningshuang: “…”
“Hahaha, this is a bit shabby.”
Going downstairs, President Qin no longer had her “delicate” episode; she didn’t need Lu Ningshuang to lead her.
They’d stayed upstairs a while; by now, the onlookers had dispersed, much quieter than before—no need for another social death.
The driver was quite dutiful. As soon as he saw Qin Yushu approaching, he immediately got out of the car and opened the rear door for her. Lu Ningshuang followed suit and got in. At that moment, the driver offered to help her with her things, but she refused.
She glanced around but didn’t see the two packages of local specialties. They had probably been tossed into the trunk.
Lu Ningshuang didn’t pay it much mind.
Dusk settled in softly.
Qin Yushu began to close her eyes and rest. After the long journey back and rushing straight here to pick up Lu Ningshuang, followed by extended talking and thinking, she was indeed tired.
Lu Ningshuang didn’t dare move much. The next second, Qin Yushu’s head leaned against her shoulder. “Lend me your shoulder for a pillow.”
“Oh, sure.”
Lu Ningshuang agreed and froze even more rigidly. QAQ
The car continued on its way.
At first, Lu Ningshuang’s mind was entirely occupied by the weight on her shoulder and the faint, elusive fragrance drifting from it.
But then, with the quiet peace inside the car, she grew drowsy too and ended up sleeping with her head pressed against Qin Yushu’s.
It was surprisingly comfortable.
She didn’t know how long the car had been driving when Lu Ningshuang heard Qin Yushu’s voice again. “We’re here. Get out.”
Lu Ningshuang: !
She was supposed to be the one keeping watch, yet Qin Yushu had to wake her* up personally.
She was failing miserably as this freeloading Alpha!
Before the young Alpha could wallow in regret, Qin Yushu had already exited from the other door. Lu Ningshuang hurried after her.
It wasn’t the secluded mountaintop villa deep in misty woods with no signs of life that Lu Ningshuang had imagined.
This was a whole district of villas, though each one took up a massive plot of land, spaced far enough apart that they didn’t intrude on each other.
Lu Ningshuang trailed behind Qin Yushu, the bumpkin Alpha barely holding back a “wow” with every step—
Wow! That gate!
Wow! Those trees!
Wow! That building!
Fortunately, she managed to stifle it. Forgive her for being too shocked; her mind was blank except for that.
At the entryway, the lavish, spacious decor formed a stark contrast to her dingy little rental.
Qin Yushu received a phone call and walked ahead a bit, but before leaving, she gave the person behind her a look, signaling her to take good care of Lu Ningshuang.
It was a woman over forty. From her demeanor, she seemed like a Beta. When she saw Lu Ningshuang, she smiled with kindly arched brows, looking quite amiable and benevolent.
This must be the housekeeper here, Lu Ningshuang thought.
In this setup, based on the clichés from those old-school novels she’d read before—
The middle-aged female housekeeper beamed. “You must be Miss Lu, right? Give me your things; I’ll take them for you.”
Lu Ningshuang replied carefully and politely, “Thank you.”
“No need to stand on ceremony. From now on, Miss Lu, you’ll be living here too. Treat it like your own home.”
She looked at Lu Ningshuang, her smile growing even kinder… and a little oddly twisted.
Lu Ningshuang: ???
Housekeeper Nangong let out a very deliberate sigh of relief. “Ah, this is the first time the young miss has ever brought an Alpha home.”
!!!
Lu Ningshuang’s entire body jolted in shock!
Help!!
The classic line from those old domineering CEO novels had come to life right in front of her!!!!
