The Alpha surged forward with tremendous momentum.
As she grabbed her coat, the hem sliced through the air, tracing a nearly razor-sharp arc.
Lu Ningshuang’s voice rang out. “Something urgent came up at home. Sorry, but I won’t be joining tonight’s work.”
“Oh… okay…”
Lu Ningshuang moved too quickly. Her colleagues only caught a glimpse of her departing figure, their expressions dazed.
Lu Ningshuang hadn’t yet become a full-time employee. As an intern, she handled only minor daily maintenance tasks in the department. She hadn’t signed a confidentiality agreement for core projects, so she naturally had no access to them.
She had chosen to stay tonight to learn, and she didn’t receive overtime pay anyway. But with her sweet mouth and likable personality, the others were happy to include her.
With this sudden incident, no one said anything about her leaving alone—after all, whether she stayed or not wouldn’t affect tonight’s work much.
Cao Wenjun returned just in time to witness the scene.
“Heh.” He sneered coldly. “Sounds so nice, but she still just up and leaves. All that usual act is just playing cute to win favor.”
The others weren’t buying his provocations.
“What did Little Lu ever do to you? Always picking on people who seem easy to bully, huh?”
“I think you’re just jealous. As fellow Alphas, Little Lu is beautiful, kind-hearted, and good-tempered—some Alphas couldn’t measure up even if they tried their hardest.”
“Tsk tsk, an Alpha’s jealousy is so scary.”
“What’s so great about her?! Would I be jealous of her??”
Cao Wenjun fumed. “Some poor girl from out of town— so what if she differentiated as an Alpha? She doesn’t have a bit of Alpha vibe. I’ll just say it straight: no Omega would ever fall for her. Absolutely impossible!”
“I’ve sent your assigned parts to your email. Finish them after dinner—don’t think you can drag it out and dump it on someone else at the last minute. No one’s helping you.” Wang Jie cut him off.
“…”
Aside from Wang Jie, no one paid any attention to Cao Wenjun’s sour words. They all chatted among themselves.
“What era is this? Still demanding Alphas to be aggressive and domineering? This old lady prefers the gentle type, got a problem?”
“Sigh, but Little Lu just now… first time I realized she’s actually pretty dominant too.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Family emergency—such a devoted family Alpha. But I think Little Lu’s family isn’t even in the city. It’s so late, and she still has to rush back. Really tough.”
Lu Ningshuang had no idea what happened in the department after she left.
She gripped her phone tightly.
As she hurried downstairs, she kept glancing at the lit-up screen—even though she had already enabled both vibration and notification sounds.
Her thumb rubbed back and forth unconsciously, betraying her unsettled emotions. But no matter how many times she checked, there was still no response.
It was like shouting into a void.
Striding out of the office building, Lu Ningshuang’s patience finally ran out. She decided to make a call.
Her finger hovered over the button, only for her to realize she didn’t have the other person’s number. From start to finish, her only contact with Qin Yushu was this WeChat.
Without half a second’s hesitation, Lu Ningshuang tapped the voice call button at the bottom.
Beep, beep—
The busy tone rang out, each one striking at the Alpha’s heart.
Making a phone call kept a certain distance between people, with its timed billing making exchanges simple and quick—like telemarketing or business deals.
But popping a voice message on WeChat was intimate and clingy, unlimited in time. It was something only done with those you were “close” to.
Friends, family… or lovers.
The tone dragged on endlessly, until the third one, when it finally connected—
“What happened? Is everything okay?”
Lu Ningshuang heard her own voice, flat and rational, almost coldly calm.
“Not great…”
Qin Yushu’s voice, on the other hand, lacked its usual crisp clarity.
As someone who typically issued commands from the top, her tone wasn’t fast to begin with, but now it sounded especially sluggish, as if that precise, instrument-like brilliant brain had been disrupted from within.
It still worked, but its central processing was much slower than usual.
Perhaps Lu Ningshuang was too focused; all her senses were twice as sharp as normal.
Even through the electronic static, she could faintly discern that Qin Yushu’s breathing was labored, somewhat panting.
Each exhale carried the scorching heat of a volcanic eruption.
Lu Ningshuang listened quietly as Qin Yushu continued, “Come here now, following the address…”
“Okay.”
The Omega on the other end didn’t know if it was because she was suffering or because Lu Ningshuang’s response was so immediate and unhesitating.
She hadn’t even said she was willing.
After a brief pause.
“How much longer?” Qin Yushu asked again.
“Right away.” Lu Ningshuang pulled open the car door and slid into the barely stationary ride. “Within twenty minutes.”
She had already called a ride-share while heading downstairs—an unbelievable extravagance for the usually frugal Lu Ningshuang, who always took the subway.
Qin Yushu said nothing more and ended the voice call.
As the car started moving, Lu Ningshuang held her phone and gazed out the window at the passing scenery, but her heart was far from settled.
Mysticism was useless, she thought.
Her WeChat name was “So Desperate to Be Kept by a Rich Woman,” but so far, her rich woman dream hadn’t materialized at all. Instead, she had invested quite a bit herself.
Heh.
She arrived at the hotel.
Lu Ningshuang passed through without obstruction.
The hotel address Qin Yushu had sent was the same one they had visited last time, even the room number identical.
Standing at the door, Lu Ningshuang knocked. Worried Qin Yushu might not hear, she also sent two WeChat messages.
[It’s me, Lu Ningshuang]
[I’m at the door now]
About half a minute passed. As Lu Ningshuang considered trying another voice call—this sort of thing got easier with practice—
The door opened from inside.
As soon as it cracked open, the room’s cherry-sweet pheromones spilled out eagerly, thick enough to brew into wine, enveloping the entire Alpha.
The next second,
Lu Ningshuang was grabbed by the wrist by the Omega inside and pulled in.
—Throughout the process, she didn’t resist, even cooperating with the other’s movements.
“Have you been set up?” Lu Ningshuang asked as Qin Yushu pinned her against the wall just inside the entryway.
In the quiet, spacious suite living room, her voice was soft, carrying the unique soothing pheromones of her Alpha body, offering waves of gentle comfort.
The dense heat-period pheromones sharpened the Alpha’s sense of smell.
This wasn’t the first time Lu Ningshuang had smelled them.
“Someone plotted against you? Who?”
Who dared?
A flicker of inorganic coldness rippled through Lu Ningshuang’s warm-colored eyes. Beneath her utmost rationality stood a vision of warm, fragrant softness.
The Omega was before her, leaning on her, pressing against her.
… pinning her down.
The cold, hard wall at her back contrasted sharply with the scorching softness in front, and together with the Omega’s bewitching pheromones, they eroded the Alpha’s current rationality.
Tempting her to sink into wanton indulgence as well.
Qin Yushu was indeed affected by her heat period; her breathing unsteady, her voice trembling slightly. “No.”
“It’s just that my heat period came early.”
Qin Yushu let out a soft exhale, her low voice like a deadly aphrodisiac. “Not feeling great…”
Lu Ningshuang’s gaze swept over the beauty’s flushed lotus face so close at hand, then lowered her eyes.
“Where are the suppressants and soothers?” she asked.
“None.”
Lu Ningshuang looked up again.
Qin Yushu was watching her too. Her pitch-black eyes lacked their usual sharp incisiveness, yet they remained deep and unfathomable, with faint ripples at the very bottom—clinging to her, somewhat coquettish.
“I didn’t have anyone send any up.”
“And I don’t want to use them.”
When Lu Ningshuang lowered her head again, her voice softened too. “So President Qin urgently called me over…”
Before she finished, the Omega in front of her leaned in closer. Her lips, flushed to a luscious red, nearly brushed Lu Ningshuang’s snowy-white cheek.
In their shared breath.
The volcano was about to erupt on Lu Ningshuang’s body.
Wildfire across the mountains, scorching and blazing.
“Because I just thought of—”
Qin Yushu said, “an opportunity for Miss Lu to realize her dream.”
So Desperate to Be Kept by a Rich Woman QAQ
The Omega tilted her head slightly, pulling back a bit from Lu Ningshuang—but not too far.
Her fingertip lightly hooked the edge of Lu Ningshuang’s coat lapel, then dropped. As she lifted her eyes, a teasing, playful sparkle danced in her deep black gaze.
Perhaps not entirely serious, yet it shone like the sun.
Qin Yushu took two steps back, widening the distance, and spread her slender arms toward Lu Ningshuang.
Still so close.
“Want it?”
