Chapter 65

“Why would you think that?”

Lu Ningshuang looked puzzled and confused, her various emotions plainly showing on her face. Qin Yushu, right there in front of her, saw it all crystal clear.

Little Phoenix Man A didn’t think her sugar mommy wife was dangerous at all. After all, Qin Yushu leaking her dark side wasn’t a one- or two-time thing—Lu Ningshuang had grown quite accustomed to smoothing those ruffled feathers.

Besides, she knew the original plot. Whether it was the original story’s female lead Omega Qin Yushu or the current head of Tian Sheng, President Qin, it was only normal for her to have a bit of temper and some ruthless methods. Otherwise, she’d have been played to death by outsiders, right?

Most importantly—

Qin Yushu had just been cuddling up to her, hadn’t she? She’d been reserved outside where it wasn’t convenient, but now in the car…

Hehe!

It was clearly sweet romance. Oh wait, they were already married, so this was just their sweet newlywed daily life.

Meeting Qin Yushu’s gaze, Little Dog was just as shamelessly biased. “How could those crooked melons and split dates compare to Sis?”

Qin Yushu didn’t speak, merely continuing to watch her with those deep, shadowy eyes.

On her marriage certificate, she was an Alpha in the practical sense too.

Lu Ningshuang went on, “Those people can’t compare to Sis at all—ah, no, even making the comparison is an insult to Sis!”

“…Hm?”

Qin Yushu’s trailing tone was casual, like she was just giving a little feedback during an Alpha’s speech to keep her talking, so it didn’t feel like a one-woman show.

There was an audience listening.

Or perhaps it was a deliberate tease left hanging.

Qin Yushu knew.

Actually—

She was far more vicious than those people.

After all, she was young. For Little Dog, whether it was true love or just playing around, there had to be a gradual process.

Take that Ji Family young miss she’d seen today, for example.

This unremarkable junior hadn’t even been worth Qin Yushu’s notice before, but rumor had it that in recent years, this Ji young miss had improved somewhat and made a bit of a name for herself abroad.

Naturally, elders had paved the way ahead for her.

The Ji Family happened to be collaborating with Tian Sheng lately—the project plans were nearly done, and now Ji Yanran was coming over to lead the official execution. Qin Yushu had glanced at her and committed it to memory with her excellent recall.

A young, tender soft persimmon. If her family didn’t watch too closely, swapping in Ji Yanran meant Qin Yushu could probably squeeze another three points of profit from her.

A chuunibyou middle-schooler fat sheep who thought she was hot stuff.

That was the label Qin Yushu mentally slapped on her back then—unbiased, unrelated to Little Dog, purely driven by profit.

Thanks to President Qin’s sharp memory and quick mind, just like with Ji Yanran, she’d recognized her identity at first glance too.

After getting together with Lu Ningshuang, it seemed her ability to rile people up had grown. She’d noticed the off look Ji Yanran gave Little Dog Lu and played along by pretending not to know her.

From the scant info Qin Yushu knew about her, Ji Yanran had been a delinquent school bully in the past—wherever she went, she had her gang of friends surrounding her, dazzling and flashy.

A thug, but with some family backing and pocket money. With money, power, and benefits to offer, even more talentless small-timers from worse families flocked to her.

Fake bustle, a carnival of rabble. But maybe some innocent girls got duped.

…That was Qin Yushu’s full read on Ji Yanran’s past.

For someone like that to come rushing eagerly after Lu Youyou now, she could guess what had probably gone down between them in high school.

She had Housekeeper Nangong to thank for the constant nagging updates.

Ji Yanran might’ve been arrogant and overbearing back then, limited by her age—maybe she’d done some excessive things. But judging by how Little Dog Lu turned out, aside from her face, she wasn’t easy to mess with anywhere else.

Her two in-laws, off earning money who-knows-where, were exceptionally reliable. They’d raised her right—Little Dog was young but hadn’t fallen for any tricks.

Good job.

And now, Lu Ningshuang had run into Ji Yanran again without holding a grudge, not even remembering her. That meant Ji Yanran hadn’t gotten any real or fake advantages out of their past clashes.

Maybe she’d left behind the name “Lu Shuangshuang.” Given her personality, she was probably the first to call her that.

But these days, she wasn’t the only one calling “Lu Shuangshuang.”

A complete idiot through and through.

With just those few snippets of info, Qin Yushu could piece together their rough history.

And in comparison…

She was undoubtedly even more “vicious.”

Their first meeting, she’d been eyeing Little Dog’s body. Then she’d straightforwardly summoned her to the office and proposed a sugar baby deal. Soon after, she’d backed off herself, only to lure her in days later with a heat period excuse, smoothly binding her with marriage…

Every step planned, every step calculated.

She was the real villainess in the story.

“If Sis really has her eye on me, that’s like burning incense at the Old Lu Family gate—our lucky day!” Lu Ningshuang said.

Her current laid-back life with everything provided was great! Super satisfying! She even got a beautiful wife out of it!

Qin Yushu pulled her thoughts from those musings. After spending time with Lu Ningshuang, she’d grown used to her quirky thought processes and understood them more easily.

“What if another rich Omega who satisfies your every whim came after you instead?”

Lu Ningshuang froze for a beat. Qin Yushu’s eyes narrowed slightly, taking it all in.

Lu Ningshuang asked, “Does Sis satisfy my every whim?”

Hadn’t it been just recently that she’d been banned from the bed over some tiny thing?

Qin Yushu said, “…Speak.”

“No way!”

Lu Ningshuang shot back immediately. Looking up, her bright eyes fixed earnestly on Qin Yushu. “It’s different with them. I like Sis.”

Thump.

“And only Sis~”

Her heartbeat raced, clear and quick, like a joyful sparrow unable to hold back, bursting from the darkness to greet the light.

After all, sunlight outside had pried open the window, nearly shoving half its body inside, stuffing the pitch-black room full and sending all the shadows fleeing, nowhere to hide.

It was just short of knocking on the walls inside, asking, “Anyone home? Come out and play!”

How could she not like it? Not be moved?

Qin Yushu’s aura suddenly relaxed. The narrowed eyes flowed with something indistinguishable—laughter or honeyed affection.

“…face.” Lu Ningshuang finished the second half.

“Sly.”

Lu Ningshuang’s addition flipped the whole sentence’s meaning on its head, but even so, the smile on Qin Yushu’s face didn’t fully fade.

A faint ray shimmered in the dawn light.

That tiny bit was enough to illuminate the night’s darkness.

She’d known long ago this wasn’t a generous Little Dog—from their previous “clashes.”

Whenever she pressed too close, Little Dog would yield a step like compromise, but that wasn’t generosity.

Or it just looked that way. Lu Ningshuang could give a full 100% on things she didn’t care much about.

But Little Dog wasn’t dumb.

Once it touched her final line of defense, she guarded it fiercely, maybe dodging with sweet talk that dazzled, but really only showing a tiny bit from her palm.

Her best treasures, she’d dole out bit by bit, never handing them all over at once to be discarded like trash once obtained.

She knew how to teach her what “cherishing” meant.

Sometimes, Qin Yushu even felt…

Her plan to fully control Little Dog had failed. Instead, she’d been bewitched by those occasional glimpses of soft underbelly. Little Dog was vaguely seducing, scamming her.

Like saying, “Look, I’ve shown you my most vulnerable belly to pet—heaven and earth can attest, I’m defenseless with you. So shouldn’t Master be a little nicer to me… even nicer?”

Qin Yushu petted that soft, caring belly, but step by step fell into the gentle trap Little Dog had laid.

Actually, she was the one controlled, CPU’d by her.

—Whether intentional or not, the result was the same… right?

Qin Yushu suddenly smiled, unfolding her stunningly beautiful brows and eyes only for her Alpha. “Does Youyou only like my face?”

Beauty was too effective a weapon!

Dog treasure Noble Phantasm!

Lu Ningshuang was instantly dazed, blurting, “P-People too…”

“Liar.” Qin Yushu murmured lowly.

!

Lu Ningshuang was unhappy. She’d gone this far—how was that lying?!

Lu Youyou was about to plant hands on hips and argue—

Qin Yushu’s pretty lashes trembled lightly. An Omega’s features were exquisite and glamorous, but when she lowered her gaze to look up, that dangerous air suddenly withdrew, leaving only softness.

The first time, working-stiff Little Lu had been utterly fooled by President Qin’s look.

The beauty trap was old-school, but it worked every time without fail.

Lu Ningshuang’s mind short-circuited. “Then I was really wrong?”

Whether right or wrong, admit fault first and she’d be fine!

Qin Yushu said, “Candy isn’t sweet.”

“Huh?”

The conversation had slipped back ages without warning. Lu Ningshuang’s beauty-dazed brain needed a moment to catch up.

“But you just said it was sweet~”

Qin Yushu replied, “Because I didn’t want Youyou to be sad.”

Lu Ningshuang: “…”

She was done for. She’d die crying!

“But I’ve tasted it and it’s good…” Facing the Omega’s eyes, Little Phoenix Man A’s voice cut off. “Maybe I grabbed the wrong one. This one’s not good alone. My bad.”

Lu Ningshuang reached out humbly. “Then Sis, spit it into my hand.”

“Too late.” Qin Yushu said. “I already ate it.”

To play along, President Qin even childishly opened her mouth for inspection. The candy had been tiny to begin with—now nothing.

But compared to that speck of sugar, what caught the eye first was the beauty’s crimson lips, the glimpse of tongue tip, both gleaming with sultry red allure.

Like…

“Sorry.” Little Dog hung her head, apologizing all soft and squishy. “Sis doesn’t have to coax me anymore.”

“Youyou doesn’t trust me?” Qin Yushu asked.

“Of course not?”

Hadn’t she already admitted it was her fault? Why was domineering President Qin still pursuing it?

“Perfect. Youyou can taste it yourself, see if it’s true.”

“But it’s already—”

The unfinished words drowned between lips and teeth.

Lu Ningshuang never expected President Qin to launch such a sudden attack. Warmth assaulted softness; shivers surged instantly, crushing every obstacle in its path.

Qin Yushu’s “taste” was truly tasting.

The candy was gone, and she hadn’t rinsed her mouth after. Her mouth was already filled with sweetness.

Just pressing close—how was that enough?

Not only did she pass the sweetness through that soft segment, she also invited the Alpha to step inside, to savor properly what true overflowing fragrance and sweetness wrapped in honey meant.

Even as an Omega, her methods weren’t soft at all.

If Ji Yanran’s arrogance was wild and exposed, Qin Yushu’s was wrapped under a calm, elegant skin. Only the closest person, peeling off that outermost layer…

Would know just how wildly unhinged the cool, refined President Qin could get!

Even the Alpha couldn’t withstand the surging shivers, left with nothing but tremors.

Her lips were sealed—no speaking.

Lu Ningshuang only felt Qin Yushu pressing her head like she was forcing her, breaths tangling amid the exchange. She saw the Omega’s deep eyes, dotted with laughing intent, blatantly saying—

Good girl~

Won’t you taste the candy you want?

The Alpha’s eye corners flushed pink, making that soft, delicate face even more pitifully alluring.

Too much.

How could she do this?

She was just about to show the Omega a bit of her own prowess—

“Second Sis…”

The little dumpling sleeping groggily beside her suddenly spoke up, her voice milky and soft. Kids slept in fits anyway—waking midway didn’t mean getting up.

But that one sound spiked Lu Ningshuang’s shivers to the max!

The Alpha’s body trembled visibly. She looked pleadingly at the Omega across from her.

But Qin Yushu had no intention of letting up. Her beautiful eyes, tinged with passion and lingering tenderness, blinked lightly as she tilted her head for an even deeper kiss, a trace of wicked mischief gleaming within them.

She just wanted to see what the little dog would do!

In a flash, Lu Ningshuang freed one idle hand. Her slender fingertips pressed together and covered Lu Jiaojiao’s face completely.

“Mm? Second Sister, what’s wrong~…”

The little one’s milky voice could no longer be heard by anyone in the back compartment of the car.

Or rather, even if it was heard, no one paid it any mind.

And certainly, no one could answer.

The Alpha’s remaining hand wrapped around the Omega’s slender waist—gently at first, then suddenly tightening its hold.

Stray strands of hair fell across cheeks and neck, all of it numb and intoxicating.

Today’s President Qin was in full formal work attire, her appearance seeming somewhat cold and unapproachable at first glance. But now that she held that slender waist, it was fine… and soft.

This was simply the nature of an Omega’s physique—no matter how much she resembled an untouchable flower atop a high peak on the outside, it couldn’t be changed.

Moreover, she had just run into the Alpha bearing her mark.

Lu Ningshuang gazed at the delicate beauty right before her eyes, bit her lip, and even her clear gaze gradually took on a smoldering, fiery trace.

Silence.

More silence.

Then, in the midst of utter quiet, it erupted!

A thousand teases, ten thousand provocations—all the advances and lures laid down—finally coaxed this seemingly magnanimous little dog to stop retreating and take a step forward instead.

Unable to suppress her emotions any longer, the Alpha finally sounded the horn of counterattack—
