After Amnesia, the Seductive Omega CEO Tempts Me to Mark Her 53

Chapter 53: Respect. “It’s fine to mark me. I won’t get pregnant.”

Lu Qingzhuo looked at the two of them from a distance and couldn’t help but sigh.

But picking mushrooms was still very magical. She couldn’t restrain her hands and slowly walked over.

At the same time, Xu Xun stood up and walked towards the dense forest on the other side, as if she had discovered some treasure.

Lu Qingzhuo seized the opportunity and ran over.

“I say, have you two had enough of hugging?”

Cheng Yang was squatting on the ground, picking up one after another plump, fat mushrooms, and then turned her head to smile at her.

“Not yet. I can’t get enough.”

Lu Qingzhuo squatted beside her and said in a small voice, “You two should restrain yourselves a little. This is not at home.”

Cheng Yang sighed. “Let me ask you, Sister Qingzhuo, when you’re with Sister Yumian, can you resist holding her hand and kissing her mouth?”

Lu Qingzhuo was taken aback for a moment and answered very honestly, “I can’t. I can’t do it.”

Cheng Yang said as a matter of course, “Then that’s settled. The moment I’m with Xu Xun, my heart pounds, and I really can’t help but want to be close to her.”

At this time, Lu Qingzhuo had a better suggestion. “How about you two film a dating show alone?”

Cheng Yang shook her head. “Dating shows are all acted out, all scripted. There’s nothing to ship.”

At this time, the distant Xu Xun smiled and beckoned to them.

“Come quickly. There are matsutake mushrooms here.”

Cheng Yang finished picking all the mushrooms on the ground, stood up, and smiled at Xu Xun.

“Coming!”

Lu Qingzhuo shrugged her shoulders and followed behind the two of them.

After a morning, the three of them returned with a full load, their small buckets unable to hold any more.

Cheng Yang was smiling and sighing at the same time. “If I had known there were so many mushrooms, I would have brought two more buckets, preferably bigger ones, otherwise they wouldn’t fit at all.”

Xu Xun smiled. “We can’t finish so many even if we pick them. And there are still many people picking on the mountain. It’s fine to leave some for others.”

Cheng Yang was already addicted to picking. She didn’t even feel hungry now and just wanted to squat on the ground and pick mushrooms.

Lu Qingzhuo rubbed her lower back. “I’m old. My waist can’t take it anymore.”

After saying this, she instantly realized that something was wrong. She turned her head and met the puzzled gazes of the two people beside her.

“Cut it, cut it. Cut this part too.”

Lu Qingzhuo rubbed her waist and mumbled, “If my wife heard this, that would be terrible.”

Cheng Yang thought of Lu Qingzhuo’s age. She was not even thirty this year.

Besides, thirty was the prime of life. How could her waist be bad?

Her eyes widened, and a guess vaguely formed in her heart.

Could it be… kidney deficiency?

Cheng Yang carefully glanced at Xu Xun again.

A while ago, the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor had also told Xu Xun that she had some kidney deficiency, but Xu Xun had turned a deaf ear and had even become more aggressive.

Every time, Cheng Yang felt that she was weaker than before, because she could never last even a minute.

Sometimes, Cheng Yang would search online and ask the enthusiastic masses how to make her other half realize the fact that she had kidney deficiency.

She had asked several times, but almost all of them were bad ideas, and some were just watching the fun and not minding the big deal.

Cheng Yang was afraid that her identity would be exposed, so she didn’t dare to ask anymore.

The moment Xu Xun turned her head, she met Cheng Yang’s guilty eyes.

She frowned, having a feeling that this person was hiding something from her, and it seemed that it was not a small matter.

On the way back, the three of them sat in a van.

At this time, there were no cameras filming, so Xu Xun opened her phone and secretly sent a message to Cheng Yang.

She had to get to the bottom of this.

Cheng Yang was playing a small game on her phone when she suddenly received a message from Xu Xun.

[Wifey]: I think you’re hiding something from me.

“…”

Cheng Yang looked up and met Xu Xun’s scrutinizing eyes, and she felt guilty again.

[Little Lamb]: It’s nothing. Haven’t I always had this expression?

After sending it, she also sent a “little lamb rolling” sticker.

Xu Xun was usually the most susceptible to her coquettishness, but today’s coquettishness was useless.

Cheng Yang bit her lower lip, a look of guilt on her face.

Lu Qingzhuo was sitting in the car, as well as the guide and the other three PDs, and a driver.

Cheng Yang observed for a while and felt that it was not suitable to be clingy and coquettish in this situation, so she had to use phone stickers to be coquettish.

She sent a series of more than a dozen little lamb dancing stickers, hoping that Xu Xun would let her off the hook.

But this behavior was just a cover-up, which made Xu Xun more and more curious.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Cheng Yang finally confessed.

[Little Lamb]: I was just thinking that Sister Qingzhuo probably has kidney deficiency.

[Wifey]: And then? What are you smiling about?

[Little Lamb]: I thought of you.

After sending this sentence, Cheng Yang made a face of resignation.

Sure enough, she glanced at it from the corner of her eye, and Xu Xun’s expression gradually changed.

A faint smile appeared on the other’s lips, but in Cheng Yang’s eyes, it was a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

Cheng Yang was so scared that a cold sweat broke out on her back. She swallowed and didn’t dare to look Xu Xun in the eye.

She turned her head to the window, looking at the continuous green mountains outside, her palms slightly sweaty.

Since the two of them were sitting in the back row, besides being heard when they spoke, it was fine to make some small movements.

Seeing that Xu Xun was looking at her phone with her head down, Cheng Yang wanted to quickly apologize.

But at this moment, Xu Xun gently moved closer to her, and her right hand directly held her thigh.

“…”

Cheng Yang frowned and gestured for Xu Xun to look at the dashcam in front of her.

She tried to get Xu Xun to calm down, but the thought that she was the culprit of the disaster made her have to let the other go.

The primeval forest was dozens of kilometers from the ancient city. On the way, Cheng Yang was on pins and needles.

However, this feeling of having an affair always gave people a thrilling sensation that made their scalp tingle.

Although on the surface, Cheng Yang was saying no, in reality, she wished Xu Xun would bully her a little more.

Lu Qingzhuo was chatting with the guide.

The guide said that some of the mushrooms in the mountains were wild and could be picked freely, while others were contracted by others and were private property.

Cheng Yang asked, “Then what about the mushrooms we picked just now? They’re not from a contracted mountain, are they?”

The guide said, “Yes, they are. The program team has paid. You can pick as many as you want.”

Cheng Yang couldn’t help but ask again, “Then are these mushrooms all wild? Not planted by others?”

The guide said with a smile, “Of course they’re not planted. Wild ones are valuable. Those artificial mushrooms are just to cheat you outsiders.”

“…”

Cheng Yang couldn’t smile. When she had bought mushrooms at the wet market before, she had run into this kind of trick.

The owner had said that they were wild-picked tree mushrooms, but in reality, they were all artificially produced, and they were sold at the price of wild ones, which was a complete scam.

But that time, Xu Xun was with her, and Cheng Yang was not deceived.

In fact, the difference between wild mushrooms and artificial mushrooms was not big, but to use this kind of opportunistic trick to deceive people was wrong.

Cheng Yang hated this kind of practice, and of course, she didn’t like this kind of person.

The journey of more than an hour, by the time they arrived at the ancient city, it was already one in the afternoon.

The other team arrived late. They had also picked a lot of mushrooms, and all of them had returned with a full load.

Cheng Yang smelled the fresh fragrance of the mushrooms and had already visualized the aroma of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

It was just that she didn’t know how to make it, but she was very good at eating.

Xu Xun was the main chef, and Lu Qingzhuo was the assistant.

Besides them, the others wanted to help but were driven out by the two of them.

Cheng Yang knew that Xu Xun didn’t like to be disturbed when she was cooking and didn’t need anyone else to help.

She liked to quietly cut vegetables, stir-fry, and plate by herself.

For Xu Xun, cooking was no different from painting and sculpture. It could be called an art.

Cheng Yang stood at the kitchen door and said to Lin Zhizi and the others, “We’ll wash the vegetables, meat, and the mushrooms we picked, and then send them in.”

Ye Qiongan nodded with a smile and sat by the well outside with Qin Shi, and began to carefully wash the freshly picked mushrooms.

These mushrooms had different shapes. After they were poured out of the small bucket, Cheng Yang still saw some poisonous ones.

“This is poisonous. Why did you bring it back?”

This mushroom was found in Lin Zhizi’s small bucket. She picked it up and observed it carefully, feeling that it was exactly the same as the edible chicken fir mushroom on her phone.

“Isn’t this chicken fir mushroom? Teacher Qin said it’s very expensive.”

The few of them were studying it outside. Xu Xun and Lu Qingzhuo glanced at the scene outside through the window.

She was a little worried. “No, I have to go out and see if there are any poisonous mushrooms. What if we accidentally throw them into the soup and cook them? We’ll be in trouble.”

Lu Qingzhuo stayed in the kitchen to cut the meat and had Xu Xun go out to have a look.

Sure enough, they started to argue outside, and there was a disagreement about whether this was a chicken fir mushroom.

Cheng Yang said it wasn’t, but Lin Zhizi pointed to her phone and said it was.

Xu Xun glanced at it and said with a smile, “This is really not a chicken fir mushroom. I can’t say what it’s called, but it can’t be eaten.”

Lin Zhizi put down the poisonous mushroom in her hand and said in a small voice, “Really?”

Xu Xun nodded. “I’m a local who was born and raised here. I used to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms every day as a child, and I was almost not rescued once because of accidental ingestion, so you should believe me.”

Lin Zhizi was startled and crushed the poisonous mushroom with her foot.

She looked at Cheng Yang with an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry. I almost harmed everyone, and I even said such harsh words to you.”

Cheng Yang was wearing disposable plastic gloves. She picked up the poisonous mushroom that had just been crushed and threw it into the trash can.

“It’s fine, but you need to wash your hands properly.”

Xu Xun reminded her, “Some mushrooms have unknown toxicity. For safety, your hands can’t touch food for the next few days, and you can’t rub your eyes or touch your mouth. It will be safe after three days.”

“Ah?”

Lin Zhizi was stunned. She had only touched the mushrooms a few times, but she hadn’t expected the consequences to be so serious.

Cheng Yang nodded. “You’d better believe it. It’s true.”

Lin Zhizi obediently went to the faucet to wash her hands and used a lot of alcohol hand sanitizer to disinfect.

She sat obediently to the side, watching the other three wash the mushrooms and pick the vegetables, wanting to help but not knowing what to do.

When the camera wasn’t filming here, Lin Zhizi asked in a small voice, “Teacher Cheng, do you think I’ll be scolded after the show is aired?”

This was her first time participating in a variety show, but she had made such a big mistake.

And she had also gotten angry with Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang had so many fans, from old to young. Wouldn’t those who watched the variety show scold her to death?

“Why would they scold you?”

Cheng Yang was very curious. “Don’t think too much. This kind of thing is very normal. Sometimes, even a normal conversation video can be edited into a nitpicking one. You can’t prevent it even if you want to.”

Qin Shi nodded in agreement.

“Technology is so advanced now, and AI technology is also becoming more and more realistic. If someone really wants to blacken you, they can just use AI to change your face and pass it off as real. It’s impossible to guard against.”

Lin Zhizi felt much better in her heart.

Cheng Yang added, “As artists, we have to have a good mentality and strengthen our ability to withstand pressure, otherwise it’s easy to get depressed.”

She looked at the worried Lin Zhizi and patted her shoulder comfortingly.

“So, don’t think too much. Just do what you have a clear conscience about. Our hearts are only the size of a fist. Any more and we won’t be able to take it.”

Counting the time of her first filming, Cheng Yang was already an old hand in the entertainment industry.

She had starred in a famous director’s movie when she was a few years old. Although she was only the protagonist’s child in it, her appearance hadn’t changed since she was a child, and she had been stunning all the way to adulthood.

Cheng Yang’s features were almost exactly the same as when she was a child, except that the baby fat on her face had faded.

Being patted so lightly by her, Lin Zhizi’s desire to chase stars rose again.

She had been indifferent to Cheng Yang before and had felt that the other was a bit pretentious.

Besides this variety show, Lin Zhizi had hardly been in contact with Cheng Yang, and she had also seen a lot of scandals related to the other before.

But after being in contact with her now, Lin Zhizi’s opinion of Cheng Yang had changed.

The other was not at all like what the marketing accounts had said. She was understanding and had a good temper, and she was also very gentle when she spoke. She was not narcissistic or arrogant, and she would not put on a bad face and lecture others just because of her high status.

And there was one point, the most important point.

Cheng Yang’s face was even more beautiful than in the edited photos. The real person she saw with her own eyes had more temperament than in the edited videos.

She was so engrossed in looking at her that she even felt a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yang noticed that Lin Zhizi was staring at her and very naturally turned her head, pointing to her own face.

“What? Is there something dirty on my face?”

Lin Zhizi came to her senses. Under the camera, she had to say in a small voice, “Yeah, a mosquito just flew by.”

Cheng Yang smiled and went along with her words. “No wonder I felt an itch on my face.”

The two of them’s cooperation was very smooth.

But Cheng Yang didn’t notice that from their angle, you could see the kitchen window.

And Xu Xun was standing in front of the window, silently watching the two of them’s actions.

In fact, these actions and words were very normal for ordinary friends.

Lu Qingzhuo came in with the washed mushrooms from outside. Seeing that Xu Xun was standing there, motionless, she followed the other’s gaze.

Seeing Cheng Yang happily chatting with others, Lu Qingzhuo observed Xu Xun’s profile again and knew that she was jealous.

“Ahem.”

Lu Qingzhuo reminded her in a small voice, “Xu Xun, the mushrooms are washed. You can cut them into slices and stir-fry them.”

Xu Xun came to her senses and smiled at Lu Qingzhuo.

This smile looked very forced, even uglier than crying.

“…”

When there were no cameras in the kitchen at this time, Lu Qingzhuo couldn’t help but sigh.

“Xu Xun, how should I put this? Everyone has their own freedom. Even if you’re married, you still need friends.”

Being seen through by Lu Qingzhuo, Xu Xun lowered her eyes, took the washed mushrooms, and cut them into thin slices.

“I know.”

Lu Qingzhuo added, “I think you’re very similar to our President Fu, but there are some things I can’t say.”

Xu Xun smiled. “Are you talking about possessiveness?”

She looked at Cheng Yang’s back with infatuation. “I… actually, it’s fine. I quite hope that she can go out and have fun and make more friends.”

Lu Qingzhuo silently took a step back.

She looked at Xu Xun’s way of cutting vegetables and had the illusion that she was going to cut all the people who were talking to Cheng Yang into slices.

Lu Qingzhuo sucked in a sharp breath, having a feeling that she had seen a familiar person in her.

She said casually, “By the way, I have a feeling that Cheng Yang is a little strange. Have you noticed?”

Xu Xun’s hand cutting the vegetables paused. “Where is she strange?”

Lu Qingzhuo pointed to her own temple. “Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying she’s not right in the head. I mean, I feel that she can’t remember many things. Is it a sequela of the car accident?”

Xu Xun nodded. “She has amnesia after the car accident. She’s been hiding it from the public. Only I and her doctor know.”

Lu Qingzhuo sighed. “Ah, what bad luck.”

After saying this, seeing that Xu Xun’s expression had become solemn, she quickly found another topic.

“By the way, when are you two planning to get married?”

Xu Xun was taken aback. “We haven’t thought about it yet, but it will be soon, in the next few years.”

After hearing Xu Xun’s words, Lu Qingzhuo had a feeling that something was strange.

“You’re not married?”

She recalled what Cheng Yang had said to her before.

“I heard from Cheng Yang that you were secretly married, but you haven’t had the chance to get the certificate yet.”

Xu Xun smiled. “Look at my memory. I’ve been dreaming of my wedding with her so much that after a long time, I thought we were already married.”

Not getting the certificate…

Then this is not a legal wife-wife relationship. It means that the two of them are just living together, and they’re in a relationship.

Not married, not getting the certificate, and still a permanent mark.

Lu Qingzhuo frowned and labeled Cheng Yang as a “scum woman.”

This is too irresponsible!

The more Lu Qingzhuo looked, the more she felt that Xu Xun was pitiful, and her voice couldn’t help but soften a lot.

“That, you go and rest. I’ll cook.”

Xu Xun looked at her with a baffled expression.

Lu Qingzhuo was a little guilty. “That… that…”

She pointed to the back of Xu Xun’s neck and said in a small voice, “The barrier patch has fallen off.”

Xu Xun touched it with her hand, and sure enough, the barrier patch was gone.

Her hair was held up with a shark clip, so the gland on the back of her neck could be clearly seen.

With just a light sweep of her eyes, Lu Qingzhuo found that it was covered with a dense layer of deep tooth marks.

This level of marking was undoubtedly a permanent mark.

For an Omega who had not yet gotten the certificate and was not married, it was really too inappropriate to give her a permanent mark.

So Lu Qingzhuo felt that Cheng Yang was a scum woman, or that she was just thoughtless, otherwise how could she have forgotten such an important thing?

Lu Qingzhuo took out a patch she was carrying with her, tore it open, and handed it to Xu Xun.

“Hurry up and put it on.”

Xu Xun took the barrier patch. “Thank you.”

Lu Qingzhuo took the kitchen knife from her hand and took the half-cut porcini mushroom.

“I’ll cut it. You go and put it on first. Wash your hands. This blue-staining bolete is poisonous.”

The corners of Xu Xun’s lips curved at her. “I know.”

After watching Xu Xun leave the kitchen, Lu Qingzhuo sighed.

She looked at the Cheng Yang who was talking and laughing with others outside and wanted to take off her shoes and slap her hard a few times.

You can’t control your own mouth. What’s the difference between you and an animal?

You’re an adult. Although you were hit in the head by a car and have amnesia, you’re not mentally disabled. Don’t you even have the most basic judgment?

After Xu Xun came back, Lu Qingzhuo really couldn’t take it anymore.

She asked carefully, “Since you haven’t gotten the certificate and are not married, then you still did that… This is too irresponsible.”

Xu Xun was a little curious. “This is very normal.”

Lu Qingzhuo really couldn’t keep up with the other’s train of thought.

“This… this is still normal? If I were your parents, I would be so angry I would die.”

Xu Xun answered honestly, “But both of my and Yangyang’s parents are dead.”

“…”

Now Lu Qingzhuo was at a loss for words. She had never expected the other to not play by the rules.

“No, I mean, even if no one is watching you two, you can’t just let someone mark you like that.”

The next second, Xu Xun said something shocking.

“But I won’t get pregnant. It’s fine to mark me.”

“…”

This sentence was simply irrefutable.

Lu Qingzhuo pinched her philtrum, really not knowing how to persuade her.

But what was done was done. She had no choice.

“Alright then. I wish you two happiness.”

Xu Xun’s lips curled into a smile. “Thank you.”

“…”

Lu Qingzhuo was silent for a moment, feeling that Xu Xun seemed to have a problem with her brain.

She wasn’t cursing her, but she really felt that the other’s train of thought was strange.

Every sentence landed on an unexpected point.

In that case, she could only express her respect and blessings.

And, lock it.

After the filming inside the kitchen was over, Cheng Yang took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen.

Under the name of “inspecting,” she walked into the kitchen with her hands behind her back and a smile, and stood beside Xu Xun.

“Wifey, are you tired? Do you want to take a break? I’ll flip the pot.”

Lu Qingzhuo stood on the other side, watching the two of them interact, and didn’t have a good expression for Cheng Yang.

She had a feeling that this person had brainwashed Xu Xun.

But soon, Lu Qingzhuo found that the two of them were indeed one willing to hit and one willing to be hit.

For example, now, Cheng Yang insisted on snatching the pot to help Xu Xun stir-fry.

Xu Xun couldn’t win against her, so she had to let Cheng Yang hold the handle with one hand and the spatula with the other.

And she stood to the side to assist.

“Yes, just like that. You can be a little faster, otherwise it will burn.”

Cheng Yang listened to Xu Xun’s words and stir-fried with even more gusto.

After a while, a steaming hot plate of stir-fried porcini mushrooms was ready.

Xu Xun had a taste and was the first to “test the poison.”

The mushrooms were stir-fried to be crispy and tender, emitting a unique, fresh fragrance.

She put down her chopsticks and nodded with a smile. “It tastes good. Hurry up and put it in the insulated container to keep it warm. It will get cold later.”

Cheng Yang obediently listened, threw this plate of stir-fried mushrooms in, and closed the door tightly.

She turned her head, and Xu Xun took out a towel and gently wiped Cheng Yang’s forehead.

“I told you not to do it. Look at you. You’re sweating again.”

Cheng Yang smiled. “It’s just stir-frying a dish. I don’t want to see you too tired. It just so happens that you’re standing by and guiding me, so you can also relax.”

Xu Xun’s lips curled into a smile. “Alright then. Anyway, what you make and what I make are the same. With me here, you’ll definitely not make it taste bad.”

Lu Qingzhuo was so jealous her teeth were on edge.

But then she remembered that Xu Xun seemed to have been PUA-brainwashed by Cheng Yang, so when the other went to the restroom, she quietly leaned over.

“Cheng Yang, let me ask you something.”

Cheng Yang slowly tore at the non-poisonous big red mushroom. “What is it, Sister Qingzhuo?”

Lu Qingzhuo lowered her voice. “Why are you dragging your feet and not getting the certificate?”

Are you trying to start something and then abandon it?
