A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 3

Early the next morning, Zhou Muxian was woken by an alarm. Immediately after came Father Yu’s knock on the door. “Xian’er, hurry and get up. Dad will have the driver take you to school.”

School?

Zhou Muxian helplessly slapped her forehead. How had she forgotten? The original body was only twenty years old, currently a junior at a local university, with only two months left before she had to go out for an internship.

Coincidentally, the original body had studied the same major as her: sculpture.

The difference was that in the real world, twenty-five-year-old Zhou Muxian had already graduated from university long ago and had been working at a design company for two or three years.

Zhou Muxian had long forgotten what university life was like. Now she still had to pretend to be obedient and go to school, and she had to call twenty-year-old Yu You “Sister.” It really was somewhat forced by circumstances.

That was what she thought, but when the door opened and she saw Yu You walking past with a cup of water, she still called out without hesitation, “Good morning, Sister~”

Yu You ignored her and walked straight past. A faint daisy fragrance drifted away with her.

Zhou Muxian sniffed, somewhat confused. Yu You had gone abroad for two years to attend an art university after graduating high school. After coming back, she made a living through painting, occasionally holding self-funded exhibitions, and was extremely idle.

Why would she get up at six-thirty in the morning like Zhou Muxian to rush to class?

Too strange.

When Zhou Muxian went downstairs, the two portions of food on the dining table showed no signs of having been touched.

Yu You, however, was already fully dressed. Her long, curled hair fell over her shoulders, making her look lazy yet retro. Yesterday, even bare-faced, she had been gorgeous. Today, with full makeup on, she looked even more charming and alluring.

Under such a grand and distant-looking makeup style fit for a formal occasion, what she wore was surprisingly warm and intimate. Beneath a loose black V-neck sweater was a retro red velvet long skirt.

Her slender collarbones were completely exposed, and a thin silver necklace hung around her neck. When she lowered her head, the pendant of the necklace swayed back and forth at the open neckline, making it impossible for one to look away, unconsciously drawing the gaze deeper.

The little girl’s thoughts of seducing someone were far too obvious, completely laid out in the open.

While eating a fried egg, Zhou Muxian watched Yu You practice her smile with a small mirror and could not help bursting into laughter.

Yu You immediately shot her a fierce glare, trying to put on an intimidating aura and suppress Zhou Muxian’s teasing. Yet the upturned corners of her eyes quietly carried a delicate charm, and her fluttering lashes added a few traces of grievance.

The corner of her mouth lifted on one side, as if bubbling with cuteness. The slightly heavy blush on her cheeks looked even more like the tsundere reaction after becoming shy.

She was just like a cute cat who believed herself to be noble.

Zhou Muxian lowered her head and silently drank a mouthful of soy milk without saying anything, but her brows unconsciously furrowed. She guessed that Yu You was going to meet the great villain from the original book.

The great villain was a mysterious investor renowned in the film and television industry. Most people did not know her real identity or name, only a familiar yet extremely chuuni title—

Princess Fenxiang.

The moment Zhou Muxian thought of everyone seriously calling her “Princess” whenever they saw her, she could not help wanting to laugh.

Creak—

Yu You excitedly pushed the door open and left, leaving Zhou Muxian alone in the living room. Zhou Muxian finished the last mouthful of soy milk, then quickly followed her out.

She had the driver follow Yu You’s car all the way to the Spring Cherry Café on Fachun Road.

It was currently mid-January, exactly the season when early cherry blossoms bloomed. The inside and outside of the café were both shrouded in the romantic pink of cherry trees.

Beside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, Yu You’s figure as she covered her mouth and laughed looked even more like someone falling into love.

In the original book, Princess Fenxiang had laid her bait for Yu You long ago, back when Yu You had first gone abroad. At that time, Yu You had been alone overseas, unfamiliar with the people and place, often experiencing moments of loneliness and helplessness.

It was Princess Fenxiang’s older-sister-like care and all the seemingly coincidental encounters she deliberately arranged everywhere that made Yu You develop a different kind of feeling for her.

And just when Yu You was at her most infatuated, Princess Fenxiang disappeared out of nowhere and stopped replying to messages.

That heart-scratching longing, along with the confusion, grievance, and pain that she could not make sense of no matter how much she thought about it, made Yu You toss and turn sleeplessly through countless nights.

Although it was unbearably painful, Yu You had no other choice. She could only endure this love and hatred alone and gradually let it go.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the country, the first person she happened to meet again was Princess Fenxiang.

She did not care whether the other party’s appearance had been planned. Once again, she fell into the sweet bubbles the other party gave her and allowed her emotions to be controlled by her.

Princess Fenxiang had also used this same method on the original Zhou Muxian. It had worked just as well.

They were all twenty-year-old girls. They had never been in love and had never witnessed a scumbag’s methods. It was perfectly reasonable for them to become dizzy from these sweet bubbles.

Zhou Muxian opened the car door and got out, then stepped into the Spring Cherry Café.

When she reached the staircase, the conversation between Princess Fenxiang and Yu You gradually became clear. Yu You’s joyful laughter rang throughout the entire second floor. As if realizing that she had laughed too loudly, she deliberately lowered her voice.

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true, little Youyou. When have I ever lied to you? Even now, I’m still savoring that dream from last night. It was so wonderful. Being able to meet you truly is my fortune.”

“Hehe, to be honest, I’ve dreamed of you too.”

Zhou Muxian stepped over the final stair and looked toward the direction of the laughter. A trace of coldness subconsciously burst from her gaze. In an instant, her powerful aura seemed like thousands upon thousands of arrows shooting out, piercing through Princess Fenxiang, whose back was facing her.

Princess Fenxiang’s body trembled. Like a beast startled by danger, she suddenly turned her head back. Immediately, a heavy smoky scent of burning charcoal spread through the air.

It was Princess Fenxiang’s Alpha pheromones.

The corners of Zhou Muxian’s mouth lifted slightly, her heart filled with disdain. Useless. She could not even control this little bit of pheromones.

She strode forward and naturally sat down beside Yu You. Then she took out a freshener from her pocket that could interfere with a small amount of pheromones.

Yu You, whose breathing had been somewhat hurried just now, indeed felt much better. But she still looked dazed, as if she had not yet come back to her senses.

Naturally, she had no attention to spare for the fact that Zhou Muxian and Princess Fenxiang were currently glaring at each other with murderous eyes, silently beginning a battle.

Princess Fenxiang’s heart started beating faster for some unknown reason. Such a powerful aura made her feel both displeased and afraid.

If she had not already seen Zhou Muxian’s heat period before and helped temporarily mark her, Princess Fenxiang would never have dared to believe that the person before her was still that same obedient little Omega who had once listened to her so well.

“Princess Fenxiang…”

Zhou Muxian tried hard to squeeze out a bit of anger and said unhappily, “When you touched me and kissed me a few days ago, this wasn’t what you said! You said you only loved me! Why have you changed your heart now?”

As soon as these words came out, both Princess Fenxiang and Yu You were stunned.

Princess Fenxiang had not expected that this pawn, who had always been obedient and allowed herself to be manipulated, would dare to openly ruin her plan.

Yu You had not expected that the person she hated the most actually had something going on with the person she liked the most.

The air froze in an instant, making it impossible to breathe. Princess Fenxiang looked at Yu You, then at Zhou Muxian, and for a moment did not know how to react.

Yu You’s eyes immediately filled with mist. She spoke pitifully, “Explain. Hurry and explain. I’ll listen!”

Hearing this, Princess Fenxiang glanced at Zhou Muxian, who was still glaring aggressively at her. She did not dare explain to Yu You at all, afraid that Zhou Muxian would get angry and say something even more outrageous.

When Yu You saw Princess Fenxiang remain silent, her heart instantly shattered into pieces. She suddenly stood up, turned, and strode straight toward the staircase. Yet when she went downstairs, she deliberately slowed her steps. Seeing that no one came after her, the sound of her footsteps instantly became several degrees louder.

Only after the sound of her footsteps completely disappeared did Princess Fenxiang change from her earlier awkward and helpless expression. She looked down at Zhou Muxian from above, her cold, hard voice like blocks of ice smashing down one by one.

“Zhou. Mu. Xian. Do you know how much trouble you just caused me? I told you, I have plans I can’t help carrying out. As long as you do what I tell you, that’s enough. As for the rest, you cannot interfere, and you should not interfere.”

At a time like this, if Zhou Muxian completely fell out with Princess Fenxiang, Princess Fenxiang would only place all her hopes on Yu You. That little fool Yu You could not withstand her methods at all. One bait, one catch.

Thinking of this, Zhou Muxian restrained her anger and turned it into an innocent, aggrieved expression.

“I’m jealous.”

Princess Fenxiang sneered. Her body leaned slightly forward, and she reached out as if wanting to tap the tip of Zhou Muxian’s nose. “Is the little one jealous? I’m only acting with her.”

But Zhou Muxian turned her face away and avoided it, muttering in reply, “I don’t believe you.”

Seeing her act willful, Princess Fenxiang was extremely annoyed inside, but she had no choice but to pretend to lower herself and coax her. “What should I do when the little one is angry? Do I need to buy you a lollipop to eat?”

“No.”

“Then what does the little one want? Or… do you want my kiss?” Princess Fenxiang smiled knowingly and leaned in as if she was about to kiss her.

It had to be said that Princess Fenxiang had a classical and mature appearance, quite like a princess from a historical drama. Unfortunately, her filthy heart wasted such a good-looking shell.

Zhou Muxian shoved her away and stood up, deliberately acting awkward. She stubbornly threw down her words. “I don’t want it! I only want you to ignore Yu You from now on. If I catch you once, I’ll make a scene once!”

“Little one…”

Princess Fenxiang still wanted to use her words to force Zhou Muxian into obedience, but Zhou Muxian said nothing more. She turned and ran downstairs, quickly rushing out of the café and back to the car.

Noticing that the driver’s expression was a little strange, Zhou Muxian subconsciously turned her head to look. Yu You was actually in the back seat. At this moment, her eyes were wide open, and she was biting her lip hard, forcefully holding back tears.

“Are we going home?” the driver asked cautiously.

After a long silence, Zhou Muxian suddenly said, “Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”

“Huh?” The driver let out a confused sound of surprise, but the hands gripping the steering wheel immediately turned. At the next intersection, he made a U-turn and drove toward the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Hearing this, Yu You, who was sitting in the back seat, no longer had the mind to be sad. Her stomach was full of questions, but she refused to ask. She forced herself to hold in her curiosity the entire way until the car stopped in the parking lot of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

“Get out.”

Zhou Muxian opened the back-seat door and stared at Yu You with a solemn gaze. Yu You’s mind was practically filled with question marks. “Me??? Get out??? With you??? To the Civil Affairs Bureau???”

“That’s right. Hurry up.” Zhou Muxian urged her with a completely serious expression, without the slightest hint of joking on her face.
