Chapter 49
Everything that had happened yesterday was like a dream.
Although she had gotten through her rut, Su Guan’s body was still a little weak. When she woke up the next day, she found that it was already late in the morning.
Sunlight seeped through the curtains. Su Guan woke up with a start. She did a carp flip and reached for the phone on the bedside table, lit up the screen, and glanced at the time, letting out a silent wail in her heart.
In that instant, she felt as if she had returned to her school days.
Overtime, overtime is being late.
For a moment, she almost jumped up, but then she realized it was already very late. According to her usual commuting habits, if she went to the company now, she didn’t know when she would arrive.
And…
The memories gradually returned. Everything she had experienced appeared before her eyes.
The hypocritical Huang Li and Ji Ping, the Alpha who had touched her at the banquet… Of course, what she remembered most vividly was Gu Yixi, who had suddenly appeared at the door at the end.
Putting the latter aside for now, just the disgusting memories of the former completely extinguished Su Guan’s desire to go back to work.
Was she crazy? After encountering such a thing, why would she still go back to work?
Of course, she wouldn’t go to this job!
But Su Guan naturally couldn’t swallow this anger.
Just as she picked up her phone, about to lash out, a slow, rhythmic knocking came from the door. “Guan-guan, are you awake?”
Su Guan had been about to get angry, but hearing the knocking, she was stunned for a second, then reined in her emotions and turned her head. “I’m awake!”
“Can I come in?”
They were already married, had already done the most intimate things, and she was still asking such a question at a time like this?
Su Guan answered, “Of course you can.”
She simply put down her phone.
Soon, the sound of the door hinge turning came, and a tall, beautiful figure stood at the door, just barely blocking most of the soft light.
Su Guan inadvertently glanced over.
Perhaps because she was at home, Gu Yixi was just wearing a light blue silk robe, her thick black hair casually draped over her shoulders, her fair, round shoulders glinting with a faint light.
A sash was just barely tied around her waist, looking quite lazy and casual.
“…Good morning,” Gu Yixi curled her lips, stepping onto the soft carpet, silent, but Su Guan somehow felt that as she walked over, her footsteps were like a series of knocks.
Her rich and beautiful face, her deep, watery eyes, one look was enough to be deeply attracted.
Gu Yixi was also holding a white tray with Su Guan’s breakfast on it.
She had a smile on her face as she placed the tray on the round table. “You must have been very tired yesterday. Have something to eat first.”
Su Guan was at a loss. She was not used to someone being so considerate to her. She swallowed and agreed, “Okay, okay. It’s just…”
People are iron, and rice is steel. She understood the principle of eating. But what had happened last night was no small matter.
Compared to eating, she wanted to solve this matter more.
Gu Yixi arranged the dishes on the tray. When she came back to her senses, she found that she was still standing by the side. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and smile. “What are you standing there for?”
This smile seemed to have a hint of teasing in it.
Su Guan was easily reminded of what had happened last night—Gu Yixi’s cool fingertips had traced over her back, and she had written words on it.
What words had she written? Su Guan didn’t know.
But Su Guan knew that Gu Yixi had written what she liked.
A thing, an object, or a person?
It was unknown.
At this thought, Su Guan’s face grew hot again. She deliberately avoided Gu Yixi’s gaze and stammered a few words, but she couldn’t form a coherent sentence.
This contrast was immediately noticed by Gu Yixi.
She lifted her gaze and said, “Is something on your mind?”
Of course, it was something on her mind. Such a big thing had happened last night.
“What happened last night.”
Gu Yixi nodded lightly. “I know.”
Some things didn’t need to be said in full. Su Guan knew that the second half of her sentence was that she would handle it.
Gu Yixi seemed to be that kind of person.
Very reassuring.
Su Guan stood there alone, with nothing in her hands. It was a little awkward. She said again, “I was originally planning to go to the company today.”
She had chosen her words carefully.
Originally, planning to go to the company.
The implication was that she wasn’t going.
But Gu Yixi paused, confused. “You still want to go to work?”
Her expression finally changed. The way she looked at Su Guan now was a bit like looking at a fool.
After encountering such a thing, she was still thinking about going back to work?
Gu Yixi naturally wouldn’t let Su Guan go back to work now.
Su Guan said, “I’m not going back to work…”
Please, her brain wasn’t squeezed by a door. The two scumbags who had framed her were still at the company. How could she go back to work?
She just wanted to get revenge on them!
But Gu Yixi rarely gave her a chance to say more. She forcefully cut Su Guan off, her tone unquestionable. “No matter what you do these next few days, you can’t go to the company. There are too many pests in your company. You haven’t recovered yet. If you go, there will inevitably be more trouble…”
Actually, the key was that she still needed a few days to deal with this matter.
In Gu Yixi’s perception, handling this matter was only related to herself, and had nothing to do with Su Guan.
Since it had nothing to do with Su Guan, she didn’t need any reaction from Su Guan, which was why she had directly interrupted her.
But Su Guan was stunned.
She inexplicably saw a hint of her mother, Su Yaying, in Gu Yixi’s interrupting action just now.
These two resourceful Omegas actually had many similarities.
Su Guan was inexplicably reminded of the words her mother had thrown at her when they had argued.
Su Yaying had said she didn’t believe in or bless their marriage. Why would her mother say such a thing?
She seemed to think that Gu Yixi was the same kind of person as her.
Su Guan couldn’t help but shiver.
“Hmm?” Gu Yixi had been talking to herself. Seeing Su Guan in a daze, she couldn’t help but be suspicious. “What’s wrong?”
Su Guan couldn’t possibly tell her what was on her mind, so she obediently walked to the round table.
“I wasn’t trying to go to work…” she explained.
She could leave other things unsaid, but she had to clarify this for herself.
Her brain wasn’t broken. Her enemies hadn’t left yet, and she was already rushing to meet them?
And the other side had who knew how many helpers!
As for more, Su Guan was temporarily observing. She didn’t say much.
But Gu Yixi watched her calmly and smiled. “You don’t have to go to work now.”
Her attitude was much better than when she had rudely interrupted her just now.
“Hmm?”
“The person in charge last night, I will make her pay the price. For the next few days, you can just rest at home.” Gu Yixi suddenly moved closer, took Su Guan’s hand, and the warmth was transmitted. “If you’re bored… you can also go back to see your mother and mom.”
“In short, you don’t have to worry about work for now.”
Those almond-shaped eyes, with their upturned outer corners, had a captivating magic that could instantly calm people down and make them immerse themselves in it.
Su Guan swallowed and agreed, “Okay, okay…”
“Don’t worry,” Gu Yixi smiled.
At some point, her fingertips had once again climbed onto Su Guan’s back.
This time, it was not bare skin, but through a thin layer of fabric.
Her fingertips tapped and stroked lightly. Who could say whether it was more exhilarating to be bare, or whether the delicate scratching through a thin layer of fabric was more tormenting to the mind.
Last time, she had written words on her back. This time, what was Gu Yixi going to do on her back?
What did she like?
Would she like her?
Almost in an instant, her thin lips suddenly brushed against Su Guan’s cheek, planting a very light kiss.
In the early morning, her mind was still not very clear. The sudden approach of hot breath instantly made Su Guan even more flustered.
Watching Su Guan’s dazed look, Gu Yixi was secretly displeased.
…It seemed she was still too young.
Her relationship with Su Guan was as if it had never even begun.
Others go from dating to marriage. They go from marriage to dating, starting to date only after they’re married.
The road ahead was still long and arduous.
Seeing Su Guan’s flushed face, Gu Yixi decided not to tease her for now—the air was still filled with the scent of bitter orange.
The Alpha seemed to have no experience. With just a light tease, she would unconsciously release her own pheromone scent.
…Was she only like this with her, or with other Omegas as well?
For no reason, this thought crossed Gu Yixi’s mind.
In this life, Su Guan was sensitive to her pheromones, which was why she was so easily teased that she would blush and uncontrollably release her pheromone scent. Then what about before? Before she could recognize her pheromones, when she was only sensitive to another person’s pheromones?
Would Su Guan also release her pheromones so helplessly?
The name that Gu Yixi was unwilling to mention, was even her niece.
They even had the same blood flowing through their veins.
And she, as an elder, had such a dark, such a secret, such an unbearable thought.
Suddenly, her fingertips dug into her palm. When the pain came, Gu Yixi finally sobered up a little.
So what if it was dark and unbearable, so what if it was a secret?
Now Su Guan had already marked her, and was already her Alpha.
What’s done is done.
She had to pay the price.
When Gu Yixi left, she left a message for Su Guan. She still said that she didn’t need her to go to the company. She could just stay at home for the next few days.
If she was bored, she could even go see her mother.
Coincidentally, just as Gu Yixi left, Su Guan received a message from her mom.
Her mom was still so concerned about her, asking her how her life was recently.
“If you’re not used to it there, why don’t you come back in a few days? Your mother and I are both waiting for you.”
On a whim, Su Guan agreed.
But she still set a date.
Thinking of Gu Yixi’s actions, she really wanted to do something to let her mother know, and to let her mom know, that her marriage was a happy one.
