Chapter 35 Part 3

Lu Ningshuang still felt a bit dazed even after they left.

“It’s… over just like that?”

Qin Yushu: “Mm.”

Lu Ningshuang opened her mouth, then closed it.

Qin Yushu found her little Alpha dog’s expression adorable right then and deliberately leaned in to tease her. “Or maybe our Youyou is the capable one.”

There it was, calling her “Youyou” again~

“It’s not that~”

Mainly, Qin Yushu had done most of the talking earlier. Throughout the back-and-forth between President Qin and Old Master Huo, she hadn’t been able to get a word in edgewise. She’d just watched from the side, marveling inwardly at how impressive it all was. And then…

“So what do we do next?” Lu Ningshuang asked.

“We’ve attended the birthday banquet and delivered the gift. Naturally, we head home,” Qin Yushu said.

!

They were really just here to show their faces? Back when she was little, she couldn’t sit still at banquets and wouldn’t dare leave that quickly. Wasn’t this too fast?

Qin Yushu: “Don’t tell me you’re reluctant to leave the snacks and want to sit and eat more?”

Lu Ningshuang shook her head vigorously.

“Then—”

Qin Yushu had just started speaking when another voice cut in.

“Yushu, ah, I’ve been hearing along the way that you’re with some Alpha who popped out of nowhere, and you even got married?”

That sarcastic female voice made Lu Ningshuang’s eyes light up instantly. Her spirits soared!

She’d been treated like a wild boss getting farmed all evening, and now it was finally Qin Yushu’s turn to get teamed up on with her?

Together, they’d make a formidable wife-wife duo…

As Lu Ningshuang pondered, she saw the speaker approaching—and there were two of them, one man and one woman.

Anyone appearing at such an occasion looked properly dressed, but that middle-aged woman was especially decked out in jewelry, around that age, her face clearly no stranger to medical beauty treatments—just a layer of oily sheen.

The woman raised her hand. “Aiya, Yushu, what were you thinking? It’s not that Third Aunt wants to lecture you, but…”

Lu Ningshuang nodded.

Got it!

This was Qin Yushu’s third aunt from the Qin Family—clearly one of those troublesome relatives, judging by the tone.

And sure enough, what Qin Family’s Third Aunt said next was just as infuriating.

“How did you pick your marriage partner? Marriage concerns an Omega’s lifelong happiness. How could you choose someone like this? Didn’t Third Aunt introduce you to that relative’s son before? He was pretty good!”

Lu Ningshuang: Ears perked, listening to just how “good” he was.

“A male Alpha, thirty-two this year, corporate executive, annual salary of eight hundred thousand. Sure, he’s a bit older, but older Alphas know how to dote on people! Perfect match for you!!”

“And he’s on the rise— that position can go higher. When you get pregnant and have kids, he can fully support you. You’re an Omega, after all—don’t be so stubborn. Be a bit more gentle and compliant; that’s how you’ll win an Alpha’s favor…”

The brainwashing spiel poured out nonstop.

—Those conditions might seem decent for an ordinary Omega, but who was this? Qin Yushu!

She lived in a multi-billion-yuan mansion villa, controlled the entire Tian Sheng Group, handled deals worth billions in minutes. And they were introducing her to a thirty-two-year-old with an eight-hundred-thousand salary?

Not that she looked down on older singles—Omegas and Betas could stay unmarried if they wanted. But a thirty-two-year-old single male Alpha? There was probably something off about him, more or less!

And from the sound of it, with this eight-hundred-thousand earner, Qin Yushu would still have to play househusband and raise kids at home afterward?

Lu Ningshuang couldn’t even imagine it!

Wasn’t this blatantly trying to seize power from Qin Yushu through this marriage choice?!

Qin Yushu clearly rejected this Alpha-outside-Omega-inside traditional brainwashing. Perhaps because she’d heard similar nonsense from this Qin Third Aunt too many times, she didn’t even bother glancing at her with the corner of her eye, let alone waste words.

This was Lu Ningshuang’s moment to shine.

“Wow, that sounds amazing!”

Qin Family’s Third Aunt was immensely pleased. “Of course!”

She’d inquired beforehand: that Alpha by Qin Yushu’s side had no skills at all—just a soft-rice eater, a little white A. How could he compare to the one she recommended?

Lu Ningshuang, feigning ignorance, asked, “If he’s so great, why don’t you marry him yourself?”

“You!”

Qin Family’s Third Aunt’s face changed abruptly. “What kind of nonsense is that? I’m a married woman!”

Lu Ningshuang smiled sweetly. “So what if you’re married? You can always divorce!”

Lu Ningshuang had been raised by her grandparents and maternal grandparents, hearing all that family gossip and innuendo—it wasn’t for nothing.

She even glanced at the middle-aged man beside Qin Family’s Third Aunt—this one clearly hadn’t had work done, looking much older than his wife.

“Thirty-two might be a tad old for Yushu, but just right for Third Aunt. And thirty-two is way younger than the guy next to you—still a fresh young thing with potential!”

“I see Third Aunt takes good care of herself. They say ‘woman three years older holds a golden brick.’ Who knows how many threes you’re ahead… Oh my, you’ve hit the jackpot, rolling in gold!”

“Third Aunt loves having and raising kids, right? Then go for it—have them, raise them. He’s a prime earner at eight hundred thousand a year. Third Aunt knows all about proper Omega virtues. Even with the age gap, as long as you’re willing to work at it and endure, the future will surely be blissful!”

Qin Yushu couldn’t help but laugh!

In the past, this “wonderful” third aunt always came to nag her with words she hated. At first, she’d argue back or shut her down directly.

But later, even after threats, the woman persisted like nothing fazed her—behaving for a few days, then relapsing. Eventually, Qin Yushu just treated her as invisible.

She tuned her out completely.

Today, hearing Lu Youyou throw the exact same words back at her, giving her a taste of her own medicine—each sentence stabbing right at the heart—Qin Yushu found it highly amusing.

They stood close, and she even reached back, gently tugging at Lu Youyou’s loose hair draped down her back.

It was light, not painful, just earning a puzzled, innocent glance back from the little dog.

“You you you you—”

Qin Family’s Third Aunt’s newly done nose was practically crooked with rage. “What the hell are you babbling?!”

Eight hundred thousand a year? Not even enough for her to buy two or three bags in a month!

“Qin Yushu!”

Qin Third Uncle, who had been silently watching for the fisherman’s profit, finally couldn’t hold back. “Did you hear that? Listen to what the person you brought is saying!”

Qin Yushu’s fingertips twirled Lu Ningshuang’s hair, her gaze never lifting, casually replying, “What did she say? Sounds pretty good to me.”

Lu Ningshuang chimed in timely, “Aiyo, Third Uncle, Third Aunt needs to bravely take that step toward her own love. That’s a good thing. As the man behind her, you have to support her!”

“Isn’t it just a green hat on your head? Look in the mirror every day, and eventually, you’ll get used to it.”

Now, two faces turned green with anger.

“Qin Yushu!!”

They still didn’t know Lu Ningshuang’s name, so they yelled for Qin Yushu.

Qin Yushu played deaf and mute, ignoring them. Lu Ningshuang continued.

“Actually, think of it another way: Third Aunt can go find a young Alpha, and Third Uncle, you can find a young Omega~”

“You two go younger, play your own games, no coddling each other. Isn’t that fine? Anyway, this place doesn’t lack the money…”

Perhaps it was some deep-seated male Alpha flaw—Qin Third Uncle was fuming one second, then seemed swayed the next. He actually pondered it, glancing at Qin Family’s Third Aunt.

She caught that look, and this so-called gentle and compliant Omega exploded on the spot, ready to claw at Qin Third Uncle’s face with her long manicured nails.

“Qin Bai Yao, after all these years by your side, bearing your children—don’t you dare be so heartless and chase some little vixen Omega!”

Spousal fights were a sight to behold. Get more intense, more intense! She even learned Qin Third Uncle’s name unexpectedly.
