Chapter 43: Fated Omega, Love Me Again Part 1

Xia Lingyu lowered her gaze and said, “But your gland hasn’t healed yet.”

“What does that matter?” Xiao Luo kissed her lips, considerate as always. “I feel almost healed, and I can still smell your pheromones, Professor—orchid-scented, very pleasant. Are you secretly aroused? Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”

Xia Lingyu’s expression remained composed, but her eyes betrayed her. And when Xiao Luo spoke like that, she truly couldn’t help but feel stirred again.

“Ah, I smell it again—the orchid fragrance~” Xiao Luo’s eyes shimmered.

Xia Lingyu’s gaze darkened. She leaned down and kissed her, her voice gentle but laced with a hint of huskiness. “Then we’ll do as you say. I’ll be careful…”

Xiao Luo asked, “What kind of position does the professor like?”

“That’s a question I should be asking you.”

Xiao Luo’s heart fluttered. She looked up at Xia Lingyu and saw her still wearing her white coat and gold-rimmed glasses. That refined face now wore a roguish expression as she smiled down at her.

“I remember now—Baby told me you like excitement?” Xia Lingyu placed her slender fingers on Xiao Luo’s shoulder and smiled. “Then shall we try everything?”

Xia Lingyu personally cooked a delicious candlelit dinner.

Outside the window, a brilliant starry sky stretched above. The balcony was adorned with lush greenery, and the lights and atmosphere were exquisitely romantic.

This was their first date, and it was even sweeter than that morning.

Xia Lingyu picked up a bottle of red wine and swirled it, then looked at Xiao Luo. “A little drink?”

“Yes.” Xiao Luo nodded. A bit more red wine might make things more exciting under the influence of alcohol, and it would also boost her courage.

Xia Lingyu’s lips curved up. She stood, poured half a glass of wine for Xiao Luo, then filled her own. She raised her glass and swirled it gently, smiling. “Cheers?”

Xiao Luo reached out and clinked glasses with her. “Cheers.”

After three glasses, Xiao Luo’s fair face had become flushed, and her upper body swayed slightly. But her peach blossom eyes remained fixed on Xia Lingyu, casting unspoken, rippling glances her way.

“Professor~” Xiao Luo lazily extended a hand. Xia Lingyu rose and wrapped an arm around her, looking at her with concern. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m drunk.” Xiao Luo blinked. She felt like she was seeing multiple Xia Lingyus, each with a different expression.

One angry, one joyful, one gazing at her with deep affection.

And every single one made her heart race. She wanted to melt her into her own body.

“Professor, I can’t serve you tonight. I feel like my hands are so weak and soft.”

She whispered this into her ear, then gently nibbled her earlobe.

Xia Lingyu smiled faintly upon hearing this. “It doesn’t matter. A soft and limp state is the best.”

There was a plush sofa beside the table. Xia Lingyu carried Xiao Luo over to it and asked, “Shall we start here?”

Here? A flicker of clarity cut through Xiao Luo’s drunken gaze as she glanced at the transparent glass balcony and the lights still on in the building across.

“Professor, you’re so mean. Someone will see.” Embarrassed and annoyed, Xiao Luo bit Xia Lingyu’s neck.

Xia Lingyu’s eyes deepened. She couldn’t help but seal her small mouth again, refusing to let her resist…

From the balcony to the bed, the night passed.

Xiao Luo didn’t want to get up the next noon, but Xia Lingyu woke her.

She opened her eyes to a blinding white light streaming in. Xia Lingyu’s figure stood beside the bed, blocking the glare, and against the light, she could faintly make out her affectionate features.

“Get up and eat something, baby.”

After a night together, Professor Xia had become exceptionally gentle again.

Xiao Luo felt a bit irritated. She burrowed under the covers and mumbled, “Can’t get up. I don’t want to eat.”

She said this, then heard Xia Lingyu turn and walk away. She stuck her head out in disbelief, watching her back, and a sense of grievance welled up inside her.

Once she gets what she wants, she doesn’t cherish it anymore?

Before her sadness could last, she heard footsteps approaching again. Xia Lingyu returned carrying a bowl of hot food, smiling. “Then lean against the bed and I’ll feed you, okay?”

Only then did Xiao Luo’s mood settle. She got up to wash up, then lay back down on the bed, contentedly accepting Xia Lingyu’s feeding.

Xia Lingyu scooped up a spoonful of hot soup, blew on it, and brought it to Xiao Luo’s lips.

Xiao Luo’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on those slender fingers, and she suddenly remembered the night before…

Xia Lingyu’s fingernails were all neatly trimmed and rounded, and her fingertips bore slight calluses.

“What is it?” Xia Lingyu looked down slightly, a faint glint flashing across her glasses.

Xiao Luo said nothing. She lowered her head and drank the soup directly.

“How is your body feeling now?” Xia Lingyu asked casually.

“Very good.” Xiao Luo recalled, her cheeks reddening.

Last night had barely paused. She ended up in a daze, collapsing onto the bed and falling asleep instantly.

She really hadn’t expected that someone like Xia Lingyu, who outwardly seemed so abstinent, would actually be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“I wonder if you were satisfied.” Xia Lingyu’s voice was gentle.

Xiao Luo thought she was talking about the soup, so she said, “Very good.”

A strange gleam passed through Xia Lingyu’s eyes, but her tone remained unchanged. “I wasn’t very skilled the first time. I thought you might be somewhat dissatisfied, so I felt we should try a few more times then.”

She hadn’t expected Xiao Luo to cry so much at the time, and it had left her feeling somewhat guilty.

Hearing this, Xiao Luo glared at her with a mix of embarrassment and anger. “Why bring that up?”

Xia Lingyu smiled. “Alright, I won’t. Let’s keep eating.”

After the meal, Xiao Luo pulled Xia Lingyu over to massage her waist. She lay on her stomach and noticed the sheets were different. “Did you change the sheets while I was sleeping?”

“Yes.” Xia Lingyu nodded honestly. “The sheets got soaked and we couldn’t sleep on them, so I changed them.”

Infuriating!

Hearing her calm tone, Xiao Luo still couldn’t stop her face from blazing red.

…

Xiao Luo stayed here for two more days. Over those two days, her sense of shame kept reaching new lows. She was constantly wrapped up with Xia Lingyu, following her everywhere, as if she had become an accessory attached to her.

Liao Xueyuan worked hard at the hospital for two days straight. Unable to resist, she sent a message to Xia Lingyu. “Professor, what have you been busy with lately?”

Xia Lingyu: “Attending to a client.”

Liao Xueyuan found it a bit odd. What client could be so important that she needed Professor Xia’s company? It had been nearly three days and she hadn’t seen any sign of Xia Lingyu.

“Professor, I’ve run into a few difficulties I don’t quite understand. When will you have time?” Liao Xueyuan asked cautiously, then watched the “typing…” indicator in the chat window.

But it kept saying “typing” for a long time without a message coming through.

“Give me a few more days,” Xia Lingyu finally messaged.

Seeing this, Liao Xueyuan felt a little deflated. Then she thought of her own fiancée—Leng Youran still hadn’t been sleeping well these past few days because of that earlier incident.

She wondered how Youran was doing at home. The thought made her restless. She wanted to get home quickly and see Leng Youran.

As soon as quitting time arrived, she took off her work clothes and headed home.

When she reached her doorstep, she was shocked to find the door wide open, with sounds coming from inside. Her heart tightened, and she rushed in, shouting, “Youran!”

In the living room, Leng Youran was surrounded by several people. Liao Xueyuan angrily ran forward and pushed them aside. “What are you doing?! Don’t you know this is trespassing?!”

The leader was a male beta. He looked at her dismissively. “We’re not trespassing. Miss Leng let us in. We’re her creditors, just here to collect a debt. Isn’t that right, Miss Leng?”

Leng Youran sat quietly on the sofa, her expression somewhat detached. After a moment of silence, she said, “Xueyuan, they’re the owners of the storefront. The shop was maliciously damaged, so they want me to pay ten times in compensation.”

Liao Xueyuan frowned. “Ten times?”

The male beta spoke harshly. “Miss Leng, the contract states clearly in black and white that in the event of damage, you must pay ten times the original value. Look—this is your signature.”

He produced a copy of the contract and slapped it onto the table.

Liao Xueyuan picked it up and scanned it. She indeed found that clause, though it was written in a very obscure way. Leng Youran had probably been set up.

“How much is the compensation?” Liao Xueyuan asked.

She would just pay to resolve the matter, treating it as an expensive lesson.

The male beta then took out a list of items. The total amount came to a staggering thirty million!

At this, Liao Xueyuan could no longer stay calm. She exclaimed in shock, “How is that possible? Thirty million could buy several apartments around here! You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

The male beta smiled. “Ladies, I’ve listed all the damaged items for you. These are all top-quality goods, some specially imported from abroad. Look at this lamp—it’s from the most expensive brand in the world…”

Liao Xueyuan finally understood. Youran had been schemed against. What landlord would be willing to rent out such valuable items to a tenant? Even a single small item inside cost tens of thousands, worth several months’ rent.

The person behind it was definitely Xiao Qing’s mother. She’d had people smash things from the start, deliberately messing with Youran.

But the items inside were probably indeed as listed, and their prices weren’t cheap. The shop didn’t even have security cameras. Now they seemed to be in quite serious trouble.

Liao Xueyuan gritted her teeth. “Don’t push people too far!”

“We’re just collecting a legitimate debt. How is that pushing anyone too far?” The male beta said smugly. “Don’t think that just because you’re an alpha and an omega, you can skip out on payment. Everyone is equal before the law. I advise you to pay up quickly, before the court enforces it…”

“This contract is problematic in the first place! This is extortion!”

“Extortion? Where’s the extortion? Go ahead and get an appraiser to inspect the scene if you don’t believe me. Is there a single item in there that doesn’t match the listed price? We already rounded down the odd bits from those thirty million.”

The male beta sneered. “Miss Leng, I suggest you repay within a week. Otherwise, we’ll be bringing people over every day to squat outside your door.”

With that, he waved his hand and called his brothers to leave with him.

Leng Youran pressed a hand to her forehead, her expression on the verge of collapse.

Seeing her like this, Liao Xueyuan couldn’t help but grab her hand and console her. “Youran, don’t worry. We’ll definitely resolve this.”

Leng Youran opened her eyes and looked at her, filled with guilt. “It’s my fault. I signed without reading the contract carefully. Don’t let this drag you down. I’ll handle it myself. In a few days, I’ll move out.”

“No!” Hearing that she wanted to leave, Liao Xueyuan quickly said, “To me, you’re the most important. Even if I have to spend everything I have, I’m willing, as long as I don’t lose you—you understand? We still have a few days. We’ll figure something out together.”

Leng Youran’s eyes flickered. She nodded. “Mm. Thank you.”

Liao Xueyuan hugged her. “Don’t worry, Youran. The worst case is just paying them back. I’ve saved up quite a bit over the years, and I still have a car, a house, and friends. If we pool together, we can scrape up thirty million.”
