A Reciprocity (Lily ABO) - Chapter 1

The sun blazed outside the window, and the air under the scorching heat felt thick and sticky.

The air conditioner brought a touch of coolness to the summer. Yu Changxin was in the study, finishing the calligraphy copying assignment given by her teacher. Well, she had actually already finished it. Calligraphy was supposed to calm the mind, but Yu Changxin couldn’t calm down at all.

Her girlfriend of five years had proposed to her.

If it were the naive version of herself from five years ago, she would have agreed without hesitation. But after learning the truth, she couldn’t entrust her heart to Qian Shuhuan anymore.

Five years ago, as a fresh graduate and corporate slave, she was interning and following her team to discuss business cooperation when she met Qian Shuhuan, who was two years older than her. During their interactions, she learned that the company they were dealing with belonged to the Qian family, and Qian Shuhuan would eventually take the position of General Manager.

The two of them got along very well and soon became friends.

Then one day, Qian Shuhuan suddenly started pursuing her madly. Rich, beautiful, gentle, and very caring — the young Yu Changxin was quickly won over.

But all that goodness she showed was fake.

At the beginning of their relationship, they were sweet and inseparable. Almost every day, Qian Shuhuan would stay at her place, no matter how late she worked overtime. Gradually, as work got busier, it went from once a week to once a month. By the third year, even during Yu Changxin’s heat period, she could only endure it with inhibitors.

If it weren’t for that package she accidentally received, she wouldn’t have discovered that the other party was a scummy player Alpha.

It was a gift Qian Shuhuan had prepared for her lover. When she opened the box, she saw a card inside.

【Dear XXX, this is our third month together. This gift is for you, who is always so adorable every day — Qian Shuhuan】

It was probably the assistant who got the address wrong and sent it to her. Yu Changxin immediately bought an identical gift box, copied the exact same message on the card, and sent it directly to Qian Shuhuan’s company.

She cried the whole day, her eyes swollen. She curled up on the sofa hugging her knees, trying to find some sense of security. She thought she couldn’t let the scummy Alpha off so easily.

That same night, Qian Shuhuan came home. Seeing her red, swollen eyes, she immediately boiled eggs to apply to them, showing great concern. But in Yu Changxin’s heart, this kind of care had already turned sour.

Lying in bed and held in her arms, Yu Changxin casually said she had cried while watching a drama. Qian Shuhuan didn’t press further. Once she saw that her mood had improved, she kissed her lips.

For the first time, Yu Changxin felt disgusted by someone’s touch. It felt like a thick layer of lard was smeared on her chest, making it hard to breathe. She wanted to push Qian Shuhuan away and question who she was spending her nights with when she wasn’t home. Unfortunately, the Alpha’s pheromones kept eroding her nerves, and the obedience engraved in every Omega’s genes forced her to slowly get into it.

No matter how scummy Qian Shuhuan was, she had never forced her, nor had she ever used her pheromones to suppress her just because she was an Alpha. In bed, she was also very gentle. She had a big cock, great stamina, and sex felt really good. Her figure was excellent too — big breasts, slim waist, long and straight legs. At nearly 180cm, she was considered tall even among Alphas. Her face was mesmerizing at first glance. Most importantly, she was very willing to spend money on her girlfriend.

After they started dating, Qian Shuhuan gave her a bank card as a birthday gift, registered under Yu Changxin’s name. She said she didn’t want her girlfriend to suffer and transferred over a hundred thousand into the card every month so she could buy whatever she wanted. Even so, Qian Shuhuan would still buy her gifts when she saw something suitable, like handbags.

From this perspective, the scummy Alpha was practically the perfect fuckbuddy.

Yu Changxin had never touched the money inside the card and didn’t even know how much was in it. She didn’t want to owe Qian Shuhuan anything. She planned to return it untouched when they broke up. Later, that money became her springboard.

After that, Yu Changxin hired someone to investigate Qian Shuhuan. The results shocked her — she wasn’t just scummy, she was a total player. She frequented all the major nightclubs, often giving gifts to pretty Omegas. Naturally, those little Omegas would throw themselves at her. Since Qian Shuhuan was beautiful, she had Omegas trying to hook up with her every day.

What surprised Yu Changxin was that among all the thick stacks of information, there were no hotel check-in records. Qian Shuhuan never brought anyone home. Even during their passionate period, she always stayed at Yu Changxin’s place.

But that didn’t change the fact that she was a scummy player Alpha. Qian Shuhuan could still go home with others and spend passionate nights with them.

Nice one, Qian Shuhuan. Having a girlfriend but still hanging out at nightclubs every day, giving out gifts every day, flirting with Omegas every day. Whoever marries you is fucking unlucky.

From then on, Yu Changxin closed herself off. No more heart-fluttering, no more heartbreak. She even insisted on using condoms during sex and refused to let her cum inside.

She quit her job and used the money Qian Shuhuan gave her to crazily study and invest in herself — from professional skills like business management to elegant pursuits like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She also hired full-time personal trainers for body shaping and fitness. She spared no expense on herself.

Unexpectedly, less than a year later, the Qian family’s company suffered a heavy blow. Qian Shuhuan’s father died on an Omega’s bed. With no leader, many projects were suspended. Yu Changxin’s photography studio wasn’t ready yet. Fearing her benefactor might collapse, she reluctantly parachuted in as an assistant, helped Qian Shuhuan stabilize the situation, successfully secured the General Manager position, and then quickly resigned to return to her own plans.

At least for now, Qian Shuhuan still liked her. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she break up? She planned to wait until Qian Shuhuan no longer liked her, return the money, and have her own career and life by then.

Her family background wasn’t bad. Both her mothers worked in state-owned enterprises with stable jobs and income, and their relationship was harmonious. Yu Changxin was the only child in the family. As for her appearance, she wasn’t particularly standout in a crowd. Her height barely reached 160cm. Her figure wasn’t great — she was just skinny, always giving Qian Shuhuan the feeling that she might collapse in the wind. She was an extremely ordinary Omega.

After graduating from university, she found a company job. After two years of hard work, she was promoted to team leader with a stable salary.

Of course, she couldn’t compare to Qian Shuhuan, who would inherit the company. Thinking about it now, she really didn’t know what Qian Shuhuan saw in her.

They were never well-matched, were they?

Yu Changxin was 28 this year. Qian Shuhuan, two years older, had just turned 30. It was understandable that she wanted to get married. After all, they had been together for five years. Yu Changxin had decided to leave. Continuing this meaningless relationship was just a waste of time.

Qian Shuhuan was not her final destination, and she was not worthy of being the wife of the Qian family’s General Manager.

Having made up her mind, Yu Changxin tidied up the study and waited for that moment.

As the sun set in the west and the clock struck 6, Qian Shuhuan opened the door right on time. She had a ring in her pocket. The three-day deadline Yu Changxin had given her was up.

“I accept your proposal.”

“Really?!”

“But we’re only registering the marriage, and you are not allowed to mark me. After marriage, I will still live here and have my own life. If you can accept these conditions, find time to come home with me to meet my mothers. After that, we’ll go register.”

These were all of Yu Changxin’s demands. She was still prepared to pull out at any time. In the end, she still liked her, right? Otherwise, when she saw Qian Shuhuan kneeling on one knee holding the ring, the words “Let’s break up” that were on the tip of her tongue turned into “I accept.”

The overjoyed Qian Shuhuan picked Yu Changxin up and sat on the sofa. While slipping the ring onto her finger, she kissed her. Yu Changxin, small and delicate, sat in her arms and was kissed until she was breathless. She began stripping Qian Shuhuan’s clothes, actively releasing her already hard, erect cock, and started stroking it up and down.
