A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 15
Ge Yuan, who was eating, was suddenly called by her full name. She froze in shock and looked up at Yu You in disbelief. “Looking for me?”
“Yes. Thank you for lending a hand when I was suffering terribly during my heat.”
As Yu You spoke, she took a jewelry box out of the bag she carried with her and gently placed it on the table. “Although you quietly left several times without asking for compensation, I don’t like owing others favors. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”
Hearing this, Ge Yuan hurriedly waved her hands. “No, no, no. It was also because Muxian called me that I took the liberty of entering your room and injecting the suppressant for you. If we’re really counting favors, then you owe Muxian.”
Hearing this, Zhou Muxian immediately raised her head and looked at Yu You with an expression begging for praise.
She did not even need any praise. One “thank you” would be enough!
But Yu You kept a cold face, turned slightly away, and completely avoided Zhou Muxian’s eager gaze. She continued speaking to Ge Yuan. “I came today not only to thank you, but also to warn you.”
“Huh? What do you mean…”
Ge Yuan touched her hair and looked helplessly at Zhou Muxian. Zhou Muxian was also full of question marks.
Then Yu You spoke with a bit of anger, emphasizing each word. “About what happened last time, I don’t know the exact details, and I don’t want to argue with you anymore. But I will absolutely not allow something like that to happen to me again. If you dare do that again next time, I’ll definitely call the police and have you arrested.”
Ge Yuan was still completely confused. She did not understand what Yu You was talking about. One second, Yu You had been thanking her for helping inject the suppressant. The next second, she was threatening to call the police and arrest her.
Zhou Muxian, however, understood.
Yu You had always been very puzzled about who the Alpha was who had temporarily marked her in the residence that afternoon.
Because Ge Yuan worked part-time in the greenhouse and had entered her room yesterday to help inject the suppressant, Yu You immediately connected several things together and judged Ge Yuan to be that mysterious, improper Alpha.
Zhou Muxian touched her nose and had no intention of explaining things clearly.
Yu You mistakenly thinking Ge Yuan was an Alpha was actually a good thing for her. This way, Yu You’s fear that a mysterious Alpha was hiding nearby would disappear, and Zhou Muxian’s secret identity as an Alpha would be safer and more hidden.
“It’s fine, it’s fine.”
As Zhou Muxian smoothed things over, she pushed the jewelry box toward Ge Yuan. “Sister never takes back what she gives away. Take it.”
“This…” Ge Yuan truly could not understand what had happened. Her face was filled with confusion and helplessness, lacking only a gesture of spreading her hands.
Seeing that she was still pretending to be dumb, Yu You’s temper surged again. She angrily threw down one sentence, turned, and left. “In short, I’ve said what I needed to say. You’d better behave.”
After walking two steps, Yu You suddenly stopped again. She turned back and glared at Zhou Muxian. When those bewitching peach blossom eyes glared at someone, they always seemed like they were deliberately sending flirtatious sparks.
Zhou Muxian put down the spoon in her hand and happily followed her. “Sister, are you going home? Can you take me with you?”
Seeing that Zhou Muxian at least knew to follow her, Yu You’s brows finally relaxed a little, but her mouth still refused to be forgiving. “You think I’ll take you just because you say so? Where would that leave my dignity?”
Zhou Muxian chuckled and hurried two steps in front of Yu You. Walking backward as she faced her, she made a heart with her fingers. “Sister’s dignity, of course, belongs in Little Sister’s heart.”
The corners of Yu You’s mouth lifted slightly. Her cold face suddenly turned bright and gorgeous, like an entire glacier melting, sunlight piercing through a hidden valley, and all living things growing freely.
A boy in a gray jacket walked over from afar. After seeing Zhou Muxian and Yu You, he stopped and kept looking in their direction.
Zhou Muxian recognized him at a glance. This was the boy from the flower fields yesterday who had said he had thought of ten ways to deal with Yu You—Hu Shuo.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she called out to Hu Shuo, “Hello! This is my sister, Yu You. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world!”
Yu You turned her head in surprise to look at Hu Shuo, then turned her surprised gaze back to Zhou Muxian’s face. “What are you doing?”
Zhou Muxian smiled shamelessly. “He’s a friend from school. I’m introducing Sister to them. Who wouldn’t want to show off such a beautiful sister?”
Before her words had even landed, she waved at another bespectacled girl passing by. “Hello! This is my sister, Yu You. She’s amazing at painting. Next time, I’ll invite you to see her exhibition.”
“Oh, oh, okay, okay.”
The bespectacled girl looked at the two unfamiliar beauties in confusion. While instinctively nodding and responding, she strangely tilted her head as she walked forward.
“Enough.”
The corners of Yu You’s mouth rose a little more, but she pretended to be impatient and interrupted Zhou Muxian’s behavior.
Zhou Muxian, however, had become interested. She waved at several teachers in the distance. “Hello, teachers! This is my sister, Yu You! A future great painter!”
“That’s enough from you.”
Yu You felt as if everyone around them had turned their gazes onto her face, and she immediately became embarrassed. Seeing that Zhou Muxian still had no intention of stopping, she reached out and lightly poked her collarbone. “Don’t say any more. I’m going to get angry.”
“Good Sister, don’t be angry.”
Zhou Muxian stopped while she was ahead and gave her a pure smile.
As Zhou Muxian turned her head, she caught sight of the steps behind her. Pretending not to know, she continued facing Yu You and walked backward step by step.
“Ah—Sister, save me!”
The instant Zhou Muxian stepped into empty air and slowly fell backward, she reached out toward the person in front of her and looked at her pitifully.
A few traces of panic suddenly appeared on Yu You’s beautiful face. She hurriedly rushed forward and pulled Zhou Muxian into her arms. Before Zhou Muxian could stand steady, Yu You gritted her teeth and scolded her.
“That’s what you get for not watching where you’re going. Be more careful.”
“Good thing Sister saved my dog life. Thank you, Sister.” Zhou Muxian took the opportunity to lean her head against Yu You’s shoulder and pretended to shrink against her in fear.
Yu You instinctively patted her head to comfort her. Seeming to find the feel of it rather nice, she gently rubbed it again.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
The phone in Zhou Muxian’s pocket vibrated. Yu You, who was pressed close to her, also felt the vibration. Seeing that Zhou Muxian had no intention of taking out her phone to answer, she deliberately asked, “Why aren’t you answering?”
Zhou Muxian felt a little afraid, worried that the name flashing on the phone screen would be Princess Fenxiang.
But under these circumstances, if she dragged things out and refused to answer, that would seem even stranger.
She could only pretend nothing had happened and take the phone out of her pocket. Fortunately, it was an unfamiliar number. She casually tapped to answer.
“Little one…”
Even though the call was not on speaker, both of them clearly heard the faint voice from the phone. It was Princess Fenxiang, who stood between the two of them like an obstacle.
Zhou Muxian stiffened completely. She did not dare look at Yu You’s expression at all and tried her best to act indifferent as she held the phone to her ear. “What is it? I’m very busy.”
“Little one, I heard you helped a security guard from my company find a lawyer and want to sue me.”
Princess Fenxiang really was calling about the lawyer.
Zhou Muxian’s eyes shifted. She deliberately and casually glanced at Yu You twice. Seeing that Yu You was openly holding her breath and listening to the call with full concentration, so serious that she did not even blink, looking exactly like a cat turned into a plush toy, Zhou Muxian decisively tapped the speaker button.
In front of Yu You, she openly said, “The signal was bad just now. I didn’t hear clearly. Say it again.”
“Little one, I heard you helped a security guard from my company find a lawyer and want to sue me.”
When these words came through, Yu You furrowed her brows.
She had not expected that the black-hearted boss of Zhou Muxian’s friend’s father would actually be Princess Fenxiang. Her heart immediately felt very uncomfortable.
She could not help thinking back to the things Zhou Muxian had said. Which words were true and which were false? Or were all of them fake?
From the corner of her eye, Zhou Muxian saw Yu You frown, her temper seeming ready to explode at any moment. Zhou Muxian’s heart jumped fiercely, and she quickly put on a very surprised tone as she replied.
“A lawyer? I didn’t hire a lawyer to sue you. Oh… Don’t tell me you’re the boss of my friend’s father? My friend’s father accidentally broke an antique at the company and was asked to repay the money. I thought they were having a hard time, so I helped them hire a good lawyer.”
Whether Princess Fenxiang believed these words or found them useful was not important.
What mattered was that Yu You believed them.
