The Crematorium While Chasing an Alpha Was Intercepted by a Flirtatious Omega Senior Sister [Rebirth] 35

Chapter 35:

Mu Sixue’s eyes flickered. Yan Qinghe switched the video call to voice mode. The screen in the air no longer showed their faces; they could only hear each other’s voices.

[Summer, can you hear me?]

Leaning back on the leather sofa in the dressing room, Yan Qinghe took a light breath. As she sat down, Ji Qianqian had straddled her with her long, slender legs, her hands hooked around her neck, not letting go.

Yan Qinghe raised her hand to block, wiping her red, lipstick-stained lips—the same shade as Ji Qianqian’s—with a bit of embarrassment. She frowned and glared at Ji Qianqian.

[Get down!] she mouthed.

[I promise I’ll be good in Qinghe’s arms,] Ji Qianqian typed on her phone and showed her. [But if I get down, I can’t guarantee I’ll be good.]

She raised a long finger and lightly poked Yan Qinghe’s lower abdomen, the meaning clear.

If it had been anyone else calling, it would have been fine. But the moment she heard Mu Sixue’s voice, Ji Qianqian’s ears perked up, her whole body on high alert, in level-ten defense mode.

Yan Qinghe sucked in a breath and snorted. A fire was burning inside her, but with Ji Qianqian clinging to her like an octopus, she was helpless.

She lowered her voice and replied to Mu Sixue, “Um… Senior, yes, I’m here. I can hear you. Go ahead~” Her voice was very soft, a few degrees more gentle than usual.

Mu Sixue raised an eyebrow. Summer’s voice today was as obedient as a little puppy that had been wandering outside for too long, whining softly in front of its owner upon returning home.

A distant, strange feeling swept through her heart, and she inexplicably lost some of her interest.

Yan Qinghe cleared her throat, trying to ignore the full pressure on her chest. In an indescribable panic, she had to end the voice call quickly.

The two of them seemed to be on the same wavelength. One wanted to end the awkwardness quickly, the other was not interested. Mu Sixue’s voice was as cool and clear as a spring, concise and to the point. The gist was that she had completed the resignation procedures at the Wei Group and could join the Yan Corporation at any time.

[That’s great!]

Just a few words, and Yan Qinghe was full of energy. She wanted to stand up in an instant, feeling that the hardship of filming during this period had not been in vain.

Her furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, her beautiful eyes like black butterfly wings spreading, her eyes shining like stars in the night.

Ji Qianqian was almost pushed off her lap by Yan Qinghe’s attempt to get up. She held onto the alpha even tighter, feeling a little wronged. How did it feel like they were having an affair?

Hmph, was Qinghe really that happy?

[Okay, Senior! You haven’t been to my company yet, right? How about I come and pick you up tomorrow?] Yan Qinghe didn’t notice that Ji Qianqian’s face had turned a few shades colder and asked with a smile.

[Okay,] Mu Sixue’s tone softened.

Less than a second after hanging up, Yan Qinghe’s collarbone was lightly bitten by Ji Qianqian.

“Mu Sixue likes you,” Ji Qianqian asserted.

Yan Qinghe hissed. Was Ji Qianqian jealous? How rare.

Her expression was stern. She gestured for her to get down. “So what if she likes me?”

Ji Qianqian disobeyed, stubbornly saying, “Don’t like her. Like me, okay?”

In this life, I will be very good to you. My whole heart and my whole eyes will be you.

“Why? Just because you and I…” Yan Qinghe alluded to their brief intimacy the other day. Thinking of the deal Ji Qianqian had made with Wei Weizhi for her, she sighed. “Qianqian, go and wash away the mark.”

The mark she had forcibly placed on Ji Qianqian had never been washed away. If it were, they would have one less tie, and everyone would be happy.

When an alpha deeply marks an omega, they become dependent on the omega’s pheromones. Although they can barely get through their susceptibility period with inhibitors, their bones still crave the marked omega’s pheromones.

There were two ways to get rid of this dependence.

One was for the marked omega to voluntarily wash away the deep mark. The other was for the alpha to bond with a higher-level omega, which would automatically override the previous omega’s mark and dependence.

This method worked, provided the alpha had not been “reverse-marked” by the marked omega. Because if an omega also reverse-marks an alpha after being marked, they will form a pheromonal bond, making it impossible for the alpha to spend their susceptibility period with any other omega.

Ji Qianqian’s eyes were red. In her past life, because she had reverse-marked Qinghe during their honeymoon, the other could only get through her susceptibility period with her. Later, after they had gone their separate ways, she had found her again and tried to use her pheromones to tempt Qinghe into accepting her again.

She had never expected that the other would rather cut off half of her gland and take a lifelong blocker than get close to her.

Her heart ached. In this new life, she was glad that Qinghe was fine and hadn’t suffered those injuries. So she held Qinghe even tighter. “I won’t wash it. Qinghe, don’t leave Sister Qianqian again, okay?”

She called herself “sister,” which for a moment reminded Qinghe of many happy times from their childhood.

Ji Qianqian was filled with a sense of crisis. With Mu Sixue on one side and Qinghe’s words about washing away the mark on the other, the fear of losing her again overwhelmed her. She suddenly held her tight. “If you go into heat, you can find me anytime.”

“Don’t go looking for others. Don’t always use inhibitor patches.” The former made her go mad with jealousy just thinking about it, and the latter made her heart ache.

As she spoke, she thought of that day, in the bathroom, by the bed, her forward behavior in seducing Yan Qinghe. Her shy words were now filled with sincere emotion. “If you’re uncomfortable, you can take me.”

Her words paused, her beautiful cheeks flushed like a red apple waiting to be tasted, or like the sunset glow over a misty river. She proudly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and added a powerful line, “Anytime, anywhere, day or night.”

Yan Qinghe was pressed against the wall by Ji Qianqian. Qianqian’s fiery red lips, her ancient light gauze, her soft whispers in her ear.

“We can do it here now, if Qinghe wants to.”

Yan Qinghe was stunned by Ji Qianqian’s direct words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Coupled with Wei Weizhi’s earlier words, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved at all.

Ji Qianqian said with certainty, “In short, don’t like Mu Sixue. I really like you more than she does.”

Yan Qinghe looked deeply at the Qianqian of this life. Her past life was full of wounds. These words were like a small white daisy blooming in a misty tomb. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough.

Her heart softened a little. She said to Ji Qianqian, “Qianqian, I won’t fall in love with Mu Sixue, and… I won’t fall in love with you again.”

In this life, she just wanted to live for herself.

Love was too much of a luxury for her. All love, in the beginning, when two people are in love, they are as sweet as honey, wishing they could be together all day and all night.

Unfortunately, all passion, in the end, is either diluted by the trivialities of life or worn down by secret suspicions and disagreements.

Not to mention, her relationship with Ji Qianqian, upon careful analysis, was full of thorns that pierced her heart. After her rebirth, even if the Ji Qianqian of this life could pull out all the thorns, the scars would still remain in her heart.

There was no magic potion that could erase trauma.

Even if it could be erased without a trace, the painful memories would still be there.

Besides, how could Mu Sixue possibly like her? Ji Qianqian was just worrying for nothing.

The next day, Mu Sixue joined the Yan Corporation. Although she hadn’t arrived yet, the news spread like a rocket to all departments. In a flash, all the department groups, from mid-level to low-level, were buzzing with discussion.

For the mid- and low-level employees, Mu Sixue’s arrival was like a shot in the arm. The new goddess of the business world, the star of finance, the investment mogul—all these buffs made her a dazzling figure. Everyone was secretly curious how Chairwoman Yan had managed to invite such a powerful figure to the company.

She was even taking the position of president. Since the previous president, H City’s number one beauty and scientific research goddess, Xi Zhaowan, had resigned, and the former chairwoman, Yan Manxing, had disappeared, the employees of all departments had felt like they had lost their backbone, and morale was low.

Mu Sixue’s appearance was like a spring breeze, soothing their hearts. It was said that her beauty was also first-class, no less than Goddess Xi’s. At twenty-eight, she was even younger than the thirty-something Goddess Xi.

The only ones with dark clouds on their faces were the elders of the Yan Corporation’s board of directors, who had formed their own factions and were too powerful to be removed. This was nothing short of a tsunami before the rain. Several elders secretly discussed and decided to give Mu Sixue a show of force at the board meeting.

This excitement was felt by Yan Qinghe the moment she entered the door. From the front desk on the first floor to every floor she visited, the employees who were peeking out, all their eyes bypassed her and, like a direct beam of light, looked at Mu Sixue.

Yan Qinghe suddenly felt that her subordinates’ gazes were too bold and impolite. She had picked up her senior in the morning, and the two of them had entered the company together. Since the Yan Corporation occupied the entire skyscraper, after showing Mu Sixue around three floors, she felt it was a waste of time and also disliked Mu Sixue being stared at like a celebrity.

Mu Sixue’s attire today was no different from her style at the Wei Group. Light makeup, red lips and white teeth, a beauty like a painting. A prim professional white shirt, buttoned to the top, full of a chaste allure, revealing a stretch of jade-white, slender neck, which was also thought-provoking. On her black trousers and high heels, her delicate ankles were as white as jade as she walked with a graceful, wind-like stride.

Under the gaze of others, her posture was graceful, as composed as a willow branch in the wind. If someone stared too hard, before Yan Qinghe could show her displeasure, Mu Sixue would just give a cold glance, and the warm sunny day would suddenly turn into a cold winter wind.

She was truly a first-class ice beauty.

Yan Qinghe noticed that Mu Sixue’s makeup today was a little heavier than usual, making her features look more capable and composed, like someone in a position of power. She looked more like the master of the Yan Corporation than she did. Yan Qinghe touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed at this thought.

She walked beside Mu Sixue and noticed that she was still wearing the sapphire ring on her middle finger, which sparkled with a cut light. She was also wearing a silver watch.

Mu Sixue was a person who was very conscious of time and very self-disciplined. She seemed to have never seen Mu Sixue at a loss, panicked, or out of sorts.

She seemed to be someone whose life plan would not be disrupted by anyone. The only constant was the ring on her middle finger, the same for four years. Yan Qinghe was suddenly a little curious about what kind of person Mu Sixue’s beta girlfriend was, to have won Mu Sixue’s long-lasting affection.

“Summer?” Mu Sixue called her. “What are you thinking about?”

“I was thinking about you…” Yan Qinghe had just said it when Mu Sixue’s eyes paused. She quickly added, “I was thinking about whether you could adapt to the Yan Corporation.”

She told her all her concerns about today’s board meeting, the shortcomings of the Yan Corporation’s development in recent years, which would probably be made a big deal of. She had a preliminary plan in mind, but she was worried that Mu Sixue wouldn’t be able to handle those elders.

On the top floor, the high-level elders sat in a row, a grand display.

Mu Sixue smiled as lightly as the wind, her eyes filled with a warm light. “Then let’s wait and see, hmm?”
