Lu Ningshuang let out a rather loud response, shattering the lingering ambiguity that Qin Yushu had carefully built in her tone in an instant.
Qin Yushu said nothing, merely lifting her deep black eyes to gaze at her gloomily.
—Oh no!
Lu Ningshuang quickly tried to backpedal. “What I just said wasn’t ‘ai,’ it was ‘ài’? The third tone, meaning surprise and confusion. I was actually so shocked I couldn’t speak.”
“Am I really going to be called ‘sister’ from now on? That makes me so happy~!”
“Miss Lu.” Qin Yushu called her by that name again.
The overly cheeky, smug freeloading Alpha little Lu trembled as she lifted her head. Qin Yushu’s eyes were profound and faintly cold.
“You’re sleeping in your own room tonight.”
Lu Ningshuang fought back eagerly. “But, but earlier you said…”
“I’ve changed my mind.” Qin Yushu interrupted.
Amid little Lu the freeloading Alpha’s aggrieved, seething but silent glare, she only stared at her with those clean, clear, beautiful almond eyes.
Too bad.
President Qin wasn’t buying it this time!
She coolly shifted her gaze away. “Because I’m just that kind of moody Omega.”
“…”
Lu Ningshuang finally understood the dangers of being too clever for her own good. She recalled how Qin Yushu had softened earlier, and the little green tea lowered her voice into a soft plea.
“Sister…”
Qin Yushu interrupted her once more. “No, you’re my sister now.”
Her one and only sister.
Heh.
Lu Ningshuang: QAQ
She only felt that Qin Yushu’s smile right now was a bit… terrifying.
After getting out of bed, President Qin turned cold and distant. Little Lu the freeloading Alpha returned to her starting point in the villa— the guest room next door.
All the progress from the entire day had gone to waste.
Sigh!
If only she hadn’t gotten so cheeky.
Lu Ningshuang tried to salvage the situation by pulling out her phone and messaging Qin Yushu in… little green tea mode.
[Sister, don’t be mad. I didn’t mean to earlier. Sister’s face is just too beautiful; I forget how to speak the moment I see it… Fine, if sister still feels unhappy, then scold me. I deserve it.]
Moments later.
Her phone vibrated.
Q: [How could I ever be mad at Youyou little sister?]
Seemed like… there was hope?
Q: [It’s just that your sister is feeling a bit unhappy. She’s jealous, so I have to coax her tonight.]
Q: [Be good on your own.]
Lu Ningshuang: O.o
How had she, a perfectly independent person, split into two roles—sister and little sister?
She couldn’t figure it out.
Just like that, out of nowhere.
Lu Ningshuang replied: [Okay TnT]
[Then have fun with my sister and me, sister^^]
Q: [We will.]
Lu Ningshuang patted her own head, feeling it seemed… a bit green, like Gray Wolf’s self-serve cafeteria?
No matter what.
President Qin continued her life of “the red flag stands firm while colorful flags flutter,” boldly keeping both “people” at home. The wife and concubine lived in harmony, with everything inside blooming vibrantly.
Truly something to celebrate 🙂
At the same time.
Huo Yunyi checked the panel and saw the three characters “Marked” after Qin Yushu’s status deepen his scowl, jealousy turning his eyes bloodshot red.
He first let out a helpless “Aaaah” in impotent rage before turning the spearhead to blame the system.
“How do you even do your job? You didn’t even tell me that Lu Ningshuang had left? One exchange, and I wasted another 2% of my Luck Value for nothing!”
Huo Yunyi’s remaining Luck Value was truly running low now. If full marks were 100, he only had 64 left, barely scraping by above the passing line.
After the system upgraded and updated the points mall interface, his own—belonging to the original Huo Yunyi’s body—flowed out like water.
Yet not a single thing he wanted to accomplish had succeeded!
How could he not be anxious?!
Excluding one-time consumptions, the remaining “Character Basic Info Panel” and “Favorability” query functions could be used long-term.
But whether it was the blindingly bright “Marked” behind Qin Yushu’s status bar, or Lu Ningshuang’s favorability toward him at the bottom showing “negative 250.”
Every line, every item, was the greatest mockery and sarcasm toward him!
If Huo Yunyi had harbored any thoughts earlier of a yuri couple 3P or enjoying a harem, now only raging fury remained.
“Those bitches! Time and again right in front of me… My plans became their wedding dress, and the Luck Value I spent turned into part of their play… Damn it!!!”
“System, give me an explanation! Compensate me, fix it—say something!”
The transmigrator trash male habitually shifted blame.
System: [No compensation.]
“You!”
[It was your own mistake.]
The system’s voice was equally cold. [I was only executing commands as you instructed.]
Huo Yunyi sneered coldly. “Didn’t you say before that as long as I followed your instructions, things would definitely succeed? Look at it now?!!”
The system countered: [Did you follow?]
Huo Yunyi was choked.
The man-system dogfight ended there. Thinking of those two tangled together, his face twisted ferociously with hatred, tinged with a sleazy lust.
“Next time! Next time it has to succeed!!! System!”
“I’m running low on Luck Value too.”
Huo Yunyi was truly starting to panic and fear, long gone was the initial confidence and smugness as a transmigrator bound to a golden finger system.
The system buzzed as if absorbing something, and finally, the mechanical voice responded without any emotional fluctuation.
[Understood.]
…
Elsewhere.
Qi Jingming stared at the chat interface frozen at last week’s timestamp, asking his staff for the Nth time.
“She really left me no message at all?”
“Yes, President Qi.”
“Got it. You can go.”
Once the person left, the contractor boss cousin who had worked overtime all night just to set up the main stage for Lu Ningshuang let out a long sigh.
It seemed he had been thoroughly abandoned by his see-sex-forget-family cousin.
Couldn’t get any worse.
This made Qi Jingming, who witnessed lovestruck brain daily, sigh once more—lovestruck brain was truly terrifying.
Especially now that it had shifted from his own dad to little Shuang cousin… even more terrifying.
But thinking of why she had come to him in the first place.
Qi Jingming pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Help me look into…”
The next day.
Imperial View Villa.
When Housekeeper Nangong saw Lu Ningshuang and Qin Yushu emerge from their separate rooms, she screamed internally!
Madam…
Miss…
So just how intense had last night been that they ended up sleeping apart, spawning new “girl, you’re still young, I don’t want to hurt you” duck-neck literature material!
Wait, had this veered into rural channels again?
Last night’s events left little lasting impact on the happy little dog. She had already freeloaded her way in as an Alpha; her skin couldn’t be thin.
Especially now.
She sat at the dining table, quietly and enjoyably eating the breakfast meticulously prepared by the villa’s chef.
Qin Yushu sat across from her.
After splitting into an Omega, the people attending to Qin Yushu up close had all been switched to Betas and Omegas.
Of course, she had the ability to handle Alphas, but an Omega’s Heat Period was special after all. Since there was a 100% foolproof method, why risk even the slightest chance of an accident?
A gentleman doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall—that was common sense.
No one in the villa mentioned yesterday’s sudden mishap. With such high salaries, they all had basic professionalism; some didn’t even know what had happened.
No one knew yet about Qin Yushu and Lu Ningshuang’s “Heat Period” abnormality—not even Housekeeper Nangong, who was full of enthusiasm for the domineering CEO and little wife CP.
With the weekend over, office drone little Lu had to go back to work.
Her face was full of happiness.jpg
President Qin felt the same.
She was used to it, not as “happy” as Lu Ningshuang.
Then Lu Ningshuang learned that this villa happened to be centrally located, making it convenient for both their destinations.
Lu Ningshuang’s first reaction: Can’t ride together with Qin Yushu.
Second reaction: “Such a coincidence?”
“Not really.” Housekeeper Nangong smiled.
She insisted the domineering CEO must remain aloof and noble, so as housekeeper, she had to serve as the CEO’s mouthpiece. Lines that might shatter the persona or coolness had to come through her mouth.
Tough job.
Housekeeper Nangong continued, “This is actually just one of Miss’s many residences.”
Lu Ningshuang’s mouth fell open slightly, shocked by the extravagance of the wealthy.
Housekeeper Nangong: “She didn’t live here often before.”
Lu Ningshuang looked at Qin Yushu.
Housekeeper Nangong: “She only moved in recently.”
With that, Housekeeper Nangong winked lightly at Lu Ningshuang—”My scene is done; your turn, Madam!”
Then she tactfully withdrew, retiring after her success.
Lu Ningshuang’s eyes stayed fixed on Qin Yushu across from her. She opened her mouth, finally asking.
“So, how did you end up thinking of my little tech company back then? Was it really like the rumors, just to get away and relax?”
Qin Yushu didn’t answer, not even lifting an eyelid.
Can’t say?
Lu Ningshuang was perceptive too and prepared to drop it, but then Qin Yushu raised her eyes, slanting a glance at her from the corner of her eye.
“Who are you calling?”
Lu Ningshuang caught on, glancing around. No one else nearby now.
And so.
The Alpha’s eyes gazed clearly, her voice soft. “Sister, why~?”
Little green tea really knew how to grasp her mindset, especially in coquetry.
Unfortunately, the one sitting across from her was an even greater expert.
Qin Yushu glanced once, then withdrew her gaze, focusing solely on her breakfast. Her finger bones were slender and beautiful; everything she did seemed like art.
After a long while.
Just as Lu Ningshuang thought she wouldn’t answer, Qin Yushu spoke again. “What do you think, Youyou?”
What did Lu Ningshuang think?
Qin Yushu had parachuted into the small company without changing a single layout or rule.
She hadn’t even shown her face more than three times, usually living in everyone’s discussions. And the closest Lu Ningshuang had gotten to her before was…
That night of lustful delirium, a spring breeze once.
Thunderous realization exploded in Lu Ningshuang’s mind. “S-so-so, so you came for me?”
“Miss Lu, you should head to work.”
Qin Yushu finished breakfast and stood, cutting it short.
Lu Ningshuang:!!!
Thanks to this earth-shattering secret, Lu Ningshuang was in a great mood all morning.
At lunch break.
Someone brought up gossip.
“There’s something if I don’t say it, you absolutely won’t believe!”
The kind of opener for a massive scoop. Lu Ningshuang perked up her little ears too.
“What is it?” someone asked.
The speaker was Tian Li, the department’s biggest gossip lover.
She didn’t rush, waiting for people to gather, building suspense fully, scanning around before saying, “Cao Wenjun isn’t here?”
“Don’t mention it. What else? He’s downstairs guarding again.”
“Shame.” Tian Li smacked her lips.
“Come on, spill it!” someone urged more impatiently.
Tian Li saw the moment was ripe, eyes upward, pointing above. “That one… is married*!!!”
She revealed it with dramatic pauses, and the crowd ate it up, gasping in shock.
“What?!”
“How?!”
“Where’d you hear that?!!”
Moments later.
The usually steady and reliable Wang Jie asked the key question. “You mean… President Qin?”
Tian Li: “Exactly her!”
Lu Ningshuang joined in—
“Hiss!”
Oh ho~
Now the gossip had come full circle to her!!!
