A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 20

Why did it have to be an oil tanker? Would no other vehicle do?

Zhou Muxian had thought about this question before. Perhaps Princess Fenxiang was worried that after the two cars collided, Father Yu and Mother Yu might not die on the spot, so she wanted Ge An to detonate the oil tanker and completely blow both the people and the car to pieces.

A father who was willing to do such a thing for the sake of his daughter’s happiness for the rest of her life—would he also choose to stop in time because of his daughter?

Seeing that Ge Yuan was still hesitating, Zhou Muxian hurriedly urged her. “Quick, call your dad right now. Tell him how much you love him. Tell him how you’ll be filial to him in the future.”

“Right now?” Ge Yuan touched her hair, a little embarrassed. “This… I can’t say something like that out loud. I’d rather write more in the birthday card.”

After saying this, she turned away as if trying to escape and planned to quietly walk toward the teaching building.

Zhou Muxian caught up to her in one stride and sighed solemnly. “There’s something I don’t know whether I should say. I’m afraid you’ll be unhappy if I say it.”

“It’s okay, Muxian. Go ahead.” Ge Yuan thought it was about asking for leave and silently bit her lip as she thought.

“Yesterday, I dreamed that your dad was driving an oil tanker…” Zhou Muxian said this, meeting Ge Yuan’s surprised gaze, then continued in a drawn-out tone, “And then the oil tanker exploded. Your dad died on the spot.”

After hearing this, Ge Yuan immediately froze. This kind of nightmare really should not be said out loud. It would only make the person involved worry for nothing.

But she still forced out a smile. “Dreams and reality are opposites. It’s fine, it’s fine.”

“But ever since I was little, my dreams have always been accurate. Whatever I dream of happens. They’re one hundred percent effective and have never been wrong.”

Zhou Muxian looked at Ge Yuan with an extremely solemn expression. This time, Ge Yuan could no longer smile. Her expression gradually turned anxious and fearful.

“Call your dad and tell him not to go out of town. However much extra money the company is paying him to drive that vehicle, I’ll pay it!

“After all, your dad appearing in my dream is also a kind of fate. Since heaven has guided me to help you, I have to help to the end. Otherwise, I won’t be able to feel at ease.”

Zhou Muxian said all this with great sincerity. Sure enough, Ge Yuan could no longer stand still. Her fingers kept rubbing across her phone screen. She gritted her teeth and looked around, her whole person unusually anxious and uneasy.

“Okay.”

Although Ge Yuan thought this talk about dreams was very absurd, she still chose to believe Zhou Muxian. She knew Zhou Muxian did not like to play tricks on people. Perhaps she knew there was something strange about this trip out of town.

Ge Yuan immediately opened her phone and called Ge An.

“Hello, Dad. Your birthday is in a few days, so I wanted to wish you a happy birthday in advance…

“You’re about to leave now? Wait, wait. There are some things I have to tell you right now. Yes, I have to say them now. They can’t wait.

“Dad, I’m already twenty this year. Soon, I’ll be able to work and earn money to support the family. After I save up for a few years, I’ll buy a small house. We’ll live in that new house with Grandma. When the time comes, I’ll buy you the best wine to drink, and I’ll buy Grandma the most expensive cigarettes. We’ll all huddle together on the sofa and watch movies.

“When the time comes, I’ll definitely top up the electricity bill properly. We won’t have to watch halfway through and suddenly lose power anymore. In the summer, we’ll eat chilled watermelon from the fridge. Grandma won’t have to put the watermelon in someone else’s well every time and then spend ages fishing it out with a bucket. When the time comes, every person’s room will have an air conditioner, and we won’t be afraid of the heat anymore…

“Dad… don’t cry. For us and Grandma to live well is more important than anything. You have to take care of your health, and Grandma has to take care of her health too. I love you both very much. If you weren’t in this world, I really would become a homeless orphan.

“If you’re not around, and I get bullied someday, there won’t be anyone to help me. Dad, can you not go out of town? I’m scared.”

After Ge Yuan hung up, she did not even bother wiping her tears before hurriedly sharing the news with Zhou Muxian. “My dad said… my dad said he won’t go.”

Hearing this, Zhou Muxian breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

Ge Yuan raised her hand to wipe her tears. Seeing Zhou Muxian hand her a tissue, she hurriedly thanked her sincerely. “Muxian, thank you.”

Her tone was so solemn that it was as if what Zhou Muxian handed her was not a tissue, but life-saving gold.

Zhou Muxian was amused by her and laughed, teasing, “Looks like you and I still aren’t very familiar. You’re even thanking me for a tissue.”

“I’m not talking about the tissue. I’m talking about my dad. Thank you, Muxian.” Ge Yuan’s eyes were slightly red as she looked fixedly at Zhou Muxian and thanked her.

The gratitude in that gaze only made up thirty percent. The remaining seventy percent was all admiration.

Zhou Muxian avoided her burning gaze and laughed lightly, unconcerned. “It’s just preventing trouble before it happens. Maybe I’m only doing something unnecessary and even causing trouble for you.”

After saying this, she let her gaze fall back onto Ge Yuan’s face. Seeing that Ge Yuan was still looking at her with that admiring gaze, she hurriedly touched her nose and changed the topic. “I still need to prepare things for the exam. I’ll go first.”

What a sin.

She had accidentally stolen a girl’s heart.

The final exam was even simpler than Zhou Muxian had imagined. Relying on several years of corporate workhorse experience, she amazed the teacher in one stroke.

The full-body painted pottery sculpture of Yu You that she had carefully carved was even forcibly kept by the teacher, who said it would be shown to students in other classes and other grades.

Zhou Muxian’s original plan to take it in front of Yu You and show it off could only be seized by the teacher first.

After the small exam ended, Zhou Muxian turned on her phone, which had been shut off. She saw more than a dozen unread WeChat messages, all from Princess Fenxiang.

They were all missed call records.

It seemed that Ge An had really given up the idea of perishing together with others for money. Princess Fenxiang, that old fox, must have guessed immediately that the invisible hand behind the scenes was Zhou Muxian and was so angry she kept calling to scold her.

Let her be angry. It was not as if everyone was Yu You. Zhou Muxian had no time to care about other people’s emotions.

Knock, knock, knock—

The urgent and heavy knocking instantly silenced the noisy crowd. In the small classroom, a thick smoky scent like burning charcoal immediately spread.

Several Omegas in the class blushed at once and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Zhou Muxian turned her head and saw Princess Fenxiang standing at the doorway. On her angry face, she was still trying hard to squeeze out a relaxed smile. Zhou Muxian hurriedly lifted her foot and walked toward her.

She was deliberately releasing Alpha pheromones, trying to use them to influence Zhou Muxian so that Zhou Muxian would become confused and emotional, allowing Princess Fenxiang to take control of her.

Releasing pheromones in front of so many innocent university students was simply immoral.

After Zhou Muxian walked up to Princess Fenxiang, she did not stop. She directly passed her and walked outside. “Somewhere with no people.”

Princess Fenxiang thought she was unbearably hungry for it. Her eyes instantly lit up, and she revealed a triumphant smile as she happily followed.

Only at the end of the empty corridor did Zhou Muxian stop. She reached out and fully opened the corridor window that had been cracked open, breathing deeply as she tried to take in the fresh air.

An Alpha in their susceptible period had much greater emotional fluctuations than usual. When smelling the pheromones of an Omega they liked, their powerful self-control would completely fail. When smelling another Alpha’s pheromones, their hidden aggression would be triggered.

Right now, smelling Princess Fenxiang’s pheromones made her whole body uncomfortable. It was like a heavy iron block was pressing inside her body, and that piece of iron was rapidly expanding and growing, about to burst out through every limb and bone if she was not careful.

“If you’re feeling uncomfortable, then beg me for mercy. Say you were wrong and that you’ll be obedient from now on. Little one, as long as you soften up, I’ll definitely help mark you and resolve your discomfort.”

Princess Fenxiang’s voice came from behind her, openly tender but secretly threatening. Zhou Muxian turned around, her face cold and without the slightest ripple.

Princess Fenxiang could not help freezing.

She stared at Zhou Muxian in disbelief. Her Alpha pheromones had always worked very well on Zhou Muxian. How could there be no reaction?

“Say what you need to say.”

Not only was Zhou Muxian’s expression cold, but her voice was even colder, like an emotionless mechanical scalpel that would mercilessly pierce the other person’s heart in the next second.

Princess Fenxiang immediately became somewhat discouraged. The pheromones she had deliberately released could not help cutting off. Listlessly, she walked to Zhou Muxian’s side and faced the window. A hint of slyness appeared in her classical phoenix eyes.

“Little one has had a lot of opinions about me lately. How about this? Just tell me directly what I didn’t do well, and I’ll change. Stop tripping me up behind my back and secretly opposing me, all right?”

Princess Fenxiang got straight to the point, and Zhou Muxian did not intend to circle around either. She said directly, “I know you want to get rid of the Yu elders. That way, all the money will end up in the pocket of me, their biological daughter…”

Hearing her say this, Princess Fenxiang immediately cast her an approving look. “It’s good that you can think of it that way. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“I need time. I need a process to grow. Only then can I better take over Yu’ai Group. Killing them isn’t a good method. I don’t support it.”

Zhou Muxian realized that her tone was stiff, so she paused slightly. When she spoke again, there was a hint of coquettishness in her voice. “I still don’t understand anything right now. Even if all the money were given to me, I wouldn’t be able to hold onto it. In the end, it would all be snatched away by that bad sister Yu You.”

“Yu You is an idiot. Don’t worry about her. Leave everything to me. Believe me. Once that money falls onto your head, it will be yours. I’ll definitely help you keep it.”

Princess Fenxiang seized the chance and tried to brainwash Zhou Muxian. Her hand naturally climbed onto Zhou Muxian’s shoulder and gently shook her. “Little one, let me become the only person you trust in this world, all right?”

Zhou Muxian took two steps forward and shook off her hand. “Your Highness, I will never agree to your plan to kill the two elders. And please believe me, I do have the ability to take over the group…”

Princess Fenxiang was wearing a suit and shirt today, probably having hurried over from the company. Zhou Muxian reached out and touched her tie, then suddenly exerted force and pulled Princess Fenxiang in front of her.

Princess Fenxiang was startled. Then, a few ripples appeared in her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, Zhou Muxian had already leaned close to her ear and spoke in a drawn-out tone. “More haste, less speed. We… should take things slowly…”

The thick smoky scent of burning charcoal instantly filled the entire corridor. Princess Fenxiang’s expression became intoxicated, and she instinctively lifted her mouth, wanting to move closer to Zhou Muxian’s cheek.

But Zhou Muxian released her hand at that moment. Princess Fenxiang lost her balance without warning and retreated several steps, her back slamming straight into the wall. Yet it did not knock her sober. Instead, she revealed an even more intoxicated smile.

Smelling her charcoal pheromones, Zhou Muxian instinctively furrowed her brows. She turned and walked through the door between the corridor and the stairwell, gave Princess Fenxiang a brilliant smile, and when she saw Princess Fenxiang lift her foot to chase after her, she casually shut the door.

Behind the door, Princess Fenxiang slapped it several times, but no one paid any attention to her. She could only speak with a bit of resentment.

“Little one, being too naughty won’t end well, you know!”
