Chapter 66:
It was still the same place where Fei Qiankun had treated them to dinner last time. Ji Qianqian had chosen a KTV private room next to it. She was alone in the mesmerizing neon lights, her translucent skin rosy and fair.
A row of wine was on the table. She downed a glass in one go, her chestnut-brown wavy hair swaying with a myriad of charms. She tilted her long neck back and let the strong wine roll down her throat.
Half a moment ago, she had also sent a message to Yan Qinghe.
Qinghe was probably on her way. It didn’t matter, she would be here soon.
The person she was waiting for now was Mu Sixue. She was a little dizzy, but her mind was unusually clear. She had prepared everything she needed, like a patient fisherman by the lake, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Mu Sixue did appear. Ji Qianqian held out her hand. “I’m so glad you could come, Miss Sixue.”
“Or should I call you, Miss Nangong Sixue, hmm?” Ji Qianqian’s smile was radiant, her graceful and soft body in a fiery red dress, exuding an endless mystery in the hazy light.
“You investigated me?” Mu Sixue’s willow-like brows arched slightly. She sat down beside her, neither salty nor bland. “Go on, you called me here today to talk about Summer, didn’t you?”
Ji Qianqian: “Before that, I’m very curious. What happened to Miss Nangong back then that made you leave the Nangong family?”
“I don’t believe that Miss Nangong declared that she doesn’t like alphas just because of family relations!”
Ji Qianqian asked repeatedly. She didn’t think that Mu Sixue, who had left the Nangong family, would still abide by the family’s rules and avoid alphas like the plague.
Mu Sixue remained calm. After a long while, she slowly opened her lips. “So, what does this have to do with the great Miss Ji?”
“You’re concerned about these things for Summer’s sake, aren’t you?”
“Using Summer’s secret to lure me here is too boring.” Mu Sixue lost interest and picked up her bag, about to get up and leave.
Ji Qianqian stepped forward. She had been drinking, and she was a little stronger than usual. She raised her hand and pressed it against Mu Sixue’s chest, pushing her back onto the sofa.
Her hands were behind her back, and she had tied her hair into a high ponytail, revealing her sharp chin and her drunken, hazy almond-shaped eyes.
She didn’t care and straddled Mu Sixue’s long legs. Under the woman’s surprised gaze and slightly raised brows, she held down Mu Sixue’s attempt to get up.
“So concerned about Qinghe, and you want to know her secret? Hmm?”
“Miss Ji, I don’t think we’re familiar with each other. Please move,” Mu Sixue said, her eyes cold, her cool and beautiful face as frosty as ice.
Ji Qianqian’s tone was a murmur, and she shook her head coquettishly. “This secret is too private. I’m afraid that if I’m a little further from Miss Nangong, others will hear it.”
“You can just call me Mu Sixue,” Mu Sixue corrected her sternly. “There’s no one else here.” There was no need to worry about being overheard.
Ji Qianqian pouted. “That’s not necessarily true. The technology in H City is so advanced.”
The black technology in her bag had been planned for a long time. Ji Qianqian’s other hand, carefully, under the cover of the inconspicuous wall lamp, reached in and took it out, holding it in her palm.
“If Miss Ji is still unwilling to let go,” Mu Sixue’s shoulder was lightly held by Ji Qianqian. The omega was not heavy and was still within Mu Sixue’s tolerable range, but… it was not very appropriate.
“And if you’re not willing to say anything, then please let me leave.”
She was not familiar with Ji Qianqian, and the other was Summer’s ex-girlfriend.
The other was wearing a skirt, and sitting on her like this was a bit inappropriate.
But she was really curious about Yan Qinghe’s secret. It was related to Mu Sichen’s illness, but more than that, it was her own selfish desire. She longed to know everything about Summer.
Ji Qianqian smiled sweetly, her red lips soft and tender, and she leaned against Mu Sixue like she had no bones. “Sister Sixue, don’t be in a hurry. I’ll tell you now.”
Mu Sixue let out a soft “mm.” Her beautiful eyes were clear and calm. She watched as Ji Qianqian continued to act, waiting for her to speak.
But Ji Qianqian tore off her own inhibitor patch and was satisfied to see Mu Sixue frown slightly. So sensitive to pheromones?
This confirmed her guess and gave her even more daring evidence for her next move.
Her other hand was discreetly suspended behind Mu Sixue’s neck. “Before that, what I’m more curious about is—”
Ji Qianqian knew that some people were hidden genders. On the surface, they pretended to be betas, but in reality, they might be alphas or omegas. Most were in normal AO relationships but had to hide for specific reasons, like He Ziyu.
There were also a small number of people who were in AA or OO relationships.
She suspected that Mu Sixue belonged to the former category. Because of her sensitive Nangong family background, she had to hide, but her orientation should be normal.
No matter what the answer was, as long as she touched the transparent disguise patch on Mu Sixue’s neck and tore it off with force, she could find out everything.
A small, miniature retractable pen-sized detector, mixed with the hazy light in the private room, went unnoticed.
As expected, it was there. Ji Qianqian’s heart leaped with joy. The blue light of the detector captured the range of the pheromone disguise, and the hidden transparent inhibitor patch was fully revealed.
Ji Qianqian pinched her fingertips and tore off the disguise from Mu Sixue’s neck.
Mu Sixue’s heart skipped a beat. Ji Qianqian had a meaningful smile on her lips. Another box that captured pheromones collected a scent she had never smelled before.
“What are you doing?” Mu Sixue asked coldly.
“I was just curious about Sister Sixue before…” Ji Qianqian’s smile was radiant. “But, from today on, I finally understand why sister doesn’t like alphas.”
“Sister Sixue has really worked hard to disguise herself!” Ji Qianqian put the black technology back in her bag, wrapped her arms around Mu Sixue’s neck, and put the disguise patch back on. “Don’t worry, it’s just you and me here. As you said, there’s no third person.”
Who would have thought that Mu Sixue was not a beta, but actually…
Ji Qianqian sighed lightly in her heart. This sigh sounded a little pleased.
Mu Sixue was strange. What did Ji Qianqian mean by that? She was certainly not a beta, but this was the first time her disguise had been seen through.
What was even more surprising was why the system hadn’t warned her. Even the day she had gone to see He Ziyu, the system had kindly reminded her what kind of disguise she needed to avoid being affected by He Ziyu’s pheromones.
At this moment, Ji Qianqian was giving her a guarantee, but her heart was cold. She just felt a bad premonition spreading through her internal organs.
Summer’s secret was indeed a front for Ji Qianqian to lure her here.
Yan Qinghe had received Ji Qianqian’s text, saying that she was at the Jiangbin Grand Hotel and had invited Mu Sixue to dinner, but she seemed to have seen He Ziyu’s subordinates.
Then, Ji Qianqian had asked her with a feigned innocence, [Is He Ziyu in H City?]
Seeing this, Yan Qinghe’s heart had tightened. If they were outside, with so many people around, He Ziyu wouldn’t dare to do anything to Mu Sixue. But inside, in a place where the He family’s power was concentrated…
She had sped up to the fastest speed within the legal limit and had gone to the Jiangbin Grand Hotel’s restaurant private rooms, searching one by one.
She couldn’t find them. She was getting more and more anxious. Could they have gone to the entertainment floor’s private rooms? The soundproofing of the KTV was very good, but one room was particularly quiet.
Yan Qinghe frowned, her thin lips pursed, her jaw tight. She paused for a moment, took a breath, and pushed open the door.
The moment she opened it, six eyes met. Yan Qinghe’s pupils dilated. Her ex-girlfriend was sitting on the lap of her “future girlfriend,” their heads almost touching, almost embracing. What was going on?
