Like a dragonfly skimming across the surface of a green lake.
It touched and then stopped.
The little dog was indeed super easy to coax and satisfy. Once she got a taste of sweetness, she stopped pestering and happily went off to test her luck.
She tapped the first one.
67.23!
“Wow!” The non-chief Lu Ningshuang let out a worldly sound. Rubbing off the female protagonist’s good luck was indeed foolproof.
It really worked!
As expected of this world’s female protagonist!
Lu Ningshuang felt delighted inside. Standing on the bubbles, she tapped through them one by one—
52.99, 45.61, 31.54, 19.77… By the seventh one, the red packet values had slipped back into single digits.
6.63.
Lu Ningshuang: QAQ
Shocking!
What kind of world-shattering sieve was she? Was it easy to borrow fortune? In just that short time, it had been completely depleted, and she was back to her usual level?!
The thrill of snagging big red packets felt too good.
Lu Ningshuang, who had finally been favored by the goddess of luck once, felt unwilling. She scooted over to Qin Yushu again.
When the little green tea had a request, her voice always turned extra soft and sweet. “Sister, can we renew?”
Qin Yushu had “rewarded” her and let her go, which was why Lu Ningshuang could dive into opening blind boxes so happily right away.
Now, she wasn’t continuing with work—the domineering CEO didn’t operate twenty-four-seven without rest.
She was just waiting downstairs for her little dog. To avoid seeming too deliberate, she had pulled out some non-urgent reports and was casually reviewing them, her attention only half there.
At that moment, Qin Yushu turned her head to look at the little dog in front of her. There seemed to be a faint trace of amusement in her eyes.
“Which kind do you want?”
Lu Ningshuang, having enjoyed premium treatment, didn’t hide her greed. “A kiss?”
The little dog’s eyes sparkled.
She anticipated the incoming good luck, and also…
“No can do.”
But she received Qin Yushu’s refusal.
Ignoring the Alpha’s obvious disappointment, the latter reached out and brushed through the soft fur of the Xishi dog. Her fingertips wandered and threaded through it, sometimes lifting a strand for a light scratch, other times deftly twisting two locks together in a tangle…
Qin Yushu said slowly, “Today’s allotment has been fully distributed. Youyou can’t be too greedy.”
“Okay.”
Lu Ningshuang felt a bit regretful.
In every way.
But then she remembered how the system always extracted fortune from Huo Yunyi for its tasks. Though Huo Yunyi’s body was now managed by the transmigrator, the taken fortune was taken—gone for good, with no return.
Nor was it replenished in some other form.
This meant that “fortune” on a person had a fixed amount. Once given away or used, the total decreased, impossible to earn back.
—Unless using something special like the system’s props.
Qin Yushu was probably the same.
Then…!!!
She had only wanted super-lucky Qin Yushu to help snag red packets at first. Then things derailed unexpectedly… and she had given her some. Though this bit of good fortune seemed nearly gone now, what if?
What if it was still on her, just used up for now, temporarily hidden away…
Lu Ningshuang had always been the honest kid who picked up a dollar on the road and handed it to the teacher at school.
She immediately grew nervous and grabbed Qin Yushu’s hand. Just like Qin Yushu had held hers earlier, she carefully and earnestly interlaced every finger into the gaps, pressing them tightly together.
Lu Ningshuang: “Here, back to you.”
Apart from her rotten luck in red packets, she was normally average—never suddenly striking it big, but definitely not a jinx affecting daily life.
Sometimes, Lu Ningshuang even felt her flat fortune was saving up good karma, exploding in big moments.
Like college entrance exams, internships, or… meeting Qin Yushu and becoming a live-in Alpha in a wealthy family.
So she didn’t need Qin Yushu to transfer good luck to her at all.
Now, she was just an ordinary office drone, like her colleague Tian Li. Work had become a way to kill time; with no worries about food or clothes, and no promotion ambitions.
Lying flat… was pretty good.
Whereas Qin Yushu, as the world’s female protagonist, faced risks and crises alongside her status. In those times, even a speck of fortune was crucial.
Even as President Qin of Tian Sheng Group, with the Qin Family’s restless relatives…
She had way too many places where she needed fortune!
With that thought, Lu Ningshuang tightened her grip. “All back to Sister, okay?”
Don’t leave it on her.
Qin Yushu naturally had no idea how many twists and turns raced through the little dog’s mind in that instant.
From her view, Lu Ningshuang’s clasped hand felt especially forceful, tightly pressed—even a bit like taking tofu advantage—yet her expression was utterly serious.
“No more wool to shear?” Qin Yushu asked.
Lu Ningshuang thought for a moment. “A little less is fine.”
Like “money-obsessed” Lu Chengyue, she cared more about the thrill of big red packet surprises than the couple hundred bucks adding up to nearly a grand.
—After all, Lu Fugui was still saving startup capital, while she had latched onto a rich woman’s golden thigh!
Heh heh heh!
Qin Yushu glanced at her again. “Your current behavior is costing me money.”
Lu Ningshuang: “…Huh?”
She looked down.
She suddenly realized they were still using each other’s phones. So the big red packets Qin Yushu had just snagged were on hers, while the ones about to get rinsed with pennies…
Were on Qin Yushu’s account.
The young live-in Alpha said very softly, “You probably don’t care about a few scattered bucks, right?”
Qin Yushu watched her leisurely. “I care a lot.”
Lu Ningshuang: “…”
Qin Yushu: “Money isn’t made all at once—it’s accumulated bit by bit, right?”
“………………”
Lu Ningshuang felt that at this moment, Qin Yushu and Lu Fugui would have plenty to chat about. But she was prepared—or rather, years of hearing it had toughened her ears.
She trotted out her dad Lu Yezhou’s lines. “President Qin! Money isn’t saved like that. Hoarding without spending gets you nowhere! To build wealth, you need to open new streams!!!”
Watching the little dog advise her so “earnestly,” Qin Yushu found it amusing and didn’t interrupt.
Only when Lu Ningshuang had talked herself tired did she suddenly say, “Youyou hasn’t cleared them all.”
Lu Ningshuang, who was about to grab water: “Huh?”
“Clear them now.”
The Alpha looked up, only for Qin Yushu beside her to seize the back of her head. Those flawless features magnified before her again, even her eyelashes distinct and clear.
But this time, it wasn’t casual like before.
The domineering Omega pressed down on the Alpha’s head, forcing her to tilt up. In the gasp of surprise, the city gates fell, allowing the invader’s soft, warm heat to sweep in unchecked—
Breaking through the gates.
Charging straight in.
The air filled with a dazzling, enchanting splendor, the surrounding atmosphere turning fresh and sweet.
The little dog couldn’t hold back at all!
Luckily, she remembered the meaning of this kiss—Lucky Kiss. It was Qin Yushu reclaiming the fortune she had paid out.
So, she didn’t move.
But this calm—or compliant cooperation—only fueled the intruder’s arrogance.
She showed no mercy at all, shattering the Alpha’s defenses with her seemingly fragile Omega body.
The poor Alpha was like a plaything in her palm, an object or toy, utterly at her mercy.
…
Until it ended.
The little dog’s beautiful almond eyes shimmered with emotion, her red lips glossy—hers were delicately gorgeous too, but compared to Qin Yushu’s rose-like magnificence, Lu Ningshuang’s were more like wild roses.
Less flashy, less aggressive, but clustered together, still stunningly beautiful.
Now, rubbed against her cheek by that wild rose, it too was dyed with matching brilliance.
Indescribably radiant.
Didn’t this make President Qin seem extraordinarily capable? After “bullying” the little dog, she still tossed in some sweetness.
Now, she held Lu Ningshuang’s hand, using her index and middle fingers to pinch one of Lu Ningshuang’s fingers, her palm and the back of her hand as the medium, guiding her to tap the screen repeatedly.
Qin Yushu’s strikes were precise and ruthless!
98.15, 76.34, 85.27, 85.90, 90.03…
She never missed! Lu Ningshuang, meanwhile, was dazed, not even aware of what was happening.
But the little dog’s mood soared in another way.
…She was happy.
In the Loving Family Group, other messages popped up now and then—like Little Aunt’s family saying they’d send wedding gifts, Big Aunt expressing concern…
Lu Ningshuang had no brainpower left and couldn’t impersonate “Qin Yushu” anymore. Qin Yushu handled the replies herself.
In just a few lines, Qin Yushu sensed that Lu Ningshuang’s family group… didn’t dislike her at all.
They even matched the little dog in some ways.
Or rather, apart from a few outliers, the rest were Lu Ningshuang’s elders. It was more like the little dog took after them.
A happy little dog raised in a warm family atmosphere?
Utterly different from the Qin Family Old Mansion crowd.
[Lu Family Son-in-Law requests to add you as a friend.]
Qin Yushu suddenly saw the new notification pop up.
She had some knowledge of Lu Ningshuang’s family and knew this was Qi Nanqing, the Qi Family’s heir from over twenty years ago.
An exceptional Alpha whose future held the Qi and Bai Family fortunes, controlling both sides of the law—his capabilities spoke for themselves.
Then—
For a woman, a Beta woman at that, he abandoned everything and eloped.
Infuriating the two families into disowning him, skipping to train younger heirs.
His legendary tale became a “love brain” cautionary example in elite circles, a negative lesson for the next generation.
But Qin Yushu knew—and not just her, many did—that even now, major power and decisions in the Qi and Bai Families remained in his hands.
Yet he preferred posing as a “love brain” “good-for-nothing”?
Qi Facai was 27 now; when his dad Qi Nanqing’s love brain flared, Qin Yushu wasn’t even born, not even an embryo. She had no firsthand knowledge.
But seeing his group ID, he seemed… proud of it? Maintaining family vibes?
A flicker of something passed through Qin Yushu’s mind. She glanced sideways at Lu Ningshuang—or rather, at the Alpha’s full, shapely head.
…What a pity.
Lu Ningshuang completely missed Qin Yushu’s thoughts. By now, she finally pulled her mind back.
She looked down.
“It’s Uncle-in-law adding you.” Lu Ningshuang said.
“Mm.”
Qin Yushu asked, “Should I add him?”
She was actually wondering why Qi Nanqing wanted to add her.
Though he took pride in his son-in-law role and was the little dog’s elder, her closer parents and aunt hadn’t reached out one-on-one yet. Was it appropriate for him?
As someone used to operating behind the scenes, was Qi Nanqing here to discuss business? With the Qi and Bai Families’ current industries…
