A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 31

In her room, Zhou Muxian took out her phone and sent Yu You a message.

[Zhou Muxian: Happy birthday, Sister. Sister will always be the most precious existence in this family.]

[Zhou Muxian: puppy spinning in circles.gif]

Ding—

[Yu You: From now on, don’t say another word to me. I’ll never pay attention to you again.]

Zhou Muxian’s heart trembled violently, and she hurriedly asked after her.

[Zhou Muxian: Why?]

But after the message was sent, a glaring red exclamation mark appeared.

She had been blocked!

Zhou Muxian could not understand. Just now, she had deliberately gotten close to Mother Yu and acted spoiled to coax her only to explain away the relationship rumor. It was not to fight for motherly love.

Yu You should have been able to understand that, right?

How had she gotten angry?

Zhou Muxian could not figure it out no matter how she thought about it. Hearing movement outside the door, she hurriedly opened it and poked her head out to look. It was Chun Ling returning.

Chun Ling was about to enter her room when she met Zhou Muxian’s anxious gaze. She smiled and walked over. “What’s wrong, Little Sister? Were you worried about me, afraid I wouldn’t come home so late?”

Zhou Muxian pursed her lips in difficulty. Several times, she started to speak, then swallowed the words back down.

Chun Ling laughed softly and slowly walked up to her, her tone gentle and guiding. “It’s all right. You can say whatever you want. You’re Yu You’s little sister, so you can be considered my little sister too. Yu You and I have been good friends for many years.”

“Sister is angry. I don’t know what I did wrong. Sister Chun Ling, can you help me ask her?”

Zhou Muxian truly did not want to trouble Chun Ling. After all, this was between her and Yu You. Dragging a third person in was always not quite good.

But right now, she truly had no other way.

Whenever Chun Ling smiled, she was like a spring breeze brushing one’s face, and even when she spoke, she naturally soothed people’s hearts. “All right. Don’t worry, Little Sister. I’ll go help you gather some intelligence right now. Once I find out, I’ll tell you immediately.”

“Thank you, Sister Chun Ling.”

A bit of expectation appeared in Zhou Muxian’s uneasy eyes. She watched Chun Ling walk toward Yu You’s room. The instant Chun Ling raised her hand to knock, Zhou Muxian hurriedly slipped back into her own room.

She was afraid Yu You would see her and become suspicious, refusing to talk to Chun Ling.

Zhou Muxian leaned against the door. She only felt tightness in her chest, as if a nameless heat was rampaging through her body, making her restless and unable to calm down.

Her susceptible period had not passed yet. It could flare up at any time because of emotional fluctuations.

While the flare-up had only just begun, Zhou Muxian hurriedly injected herself with an Alpha suppressant and stuck a blocking patch over the gland at the back of her neck, so her pheromones would not affect anyone else.

If it really would not work, she should go out and hide for a while.

That way, she would also avoid being an eyesore to Yu You in this house. It would also be a way to show that she had no intention of fighting for Father Yu’s and Mother Yu’s love.

Thinking of this, Zhou Muxian opened the door and went downstairs. Seeing that Father Yu and Mother Yu were still drinking tea in the living room, she hurried over and acted spoiled.

“Dad, Mom, for the past twenty years, I’ve been living in Jiangcheng and have never stepped outside this city. Now that winter break has started, I want to travel…”

Mother Yu’s hand paused around her teacup, and she asked hesitantly, “Xian’er, where do you want to go? It can’t still be that temple in the mountains, can it?”

“I want to go to all the famous scenic spots around the country. One city a day, for ten days in a row. That should be about enough.”

A susceptible period came once every two months, lasting about two weeks each time. Zhou Muxian calculated the days, and it was about right. By the time she came back from traveling, she would once again be a rational, clear-headed life.

Mother Yu thought for a moment, then put down her teacup and said, “How about this? Let Youyou go too. The three of us mother and daughters can go out and have fun together. How does that sound?”

“I want to go alone.” Zhou Muxian looked at Mother Yu awkwardly and softly added, “Being alone… is freer…”

Mother Yu immediately understood her little thoughts. In the end, Zhou Muxian and Yu You were still not familiar enough. Going out to have fun was meant to make someone happy. If three people traveled together and ran into disagreements, it might instead affect the peaceful state they had finally reached.

“All right.” Mother Yu agreed, but quickly added, “It’s not safe for you to go out alone either. I’ll have Secretary Chen accompany you. Is that all right? That way, you’ll have someone to look after you.”

Secretary Chen had been Father Yu and Mother Yu’s secretary for many years. Whether it was daily life and travel, work arrangements, or interpersonal dealings, she handled everything to the extreme and could be called perfect.

As long as it was not Yu You, anyone else was fine.

Zhou Muxian nodded. “Okay. Then I’ll trouble Secretary Chen. Oh, right, it would be great if we could leave tonight. I’ve never taken a plane before, and I’ve never seen what Jiangcheng’s midnight sky looks like. I really want to see it.”

“All right. I’ll have Secretary Chen arrange it now.” Mother Yu did not suspect anything and hurriedly took out her phone to contact Secretary Chen.

Zhou Muxian went upstairs to pack some simple luggage. When she came out of her room pulling her suitcase, Yu You’s door was still tightly shut, and there was still no light leaking from the crack beneath Chun Ling’s door.

Chun Ling was still in Yu You’s room. It seemed this intelligence was not easy to gather. Most likely, Yu You was unwilling to tell Chun Ling, while Chun Ling did not want to disappoint Zhou Muxian, so she was bitterly holding on.

Maybe after a while, Yu You would stop being angry.

Zhou Muxian carried her suitcase downstairs obediently.

Half an hour later, Secretary Chen arrived to pick her up.

She wore a gray knitted long coat, which moved with her steps and gave off the broad, elegant feel of a trench coat. Underneath, she wore a white shirt and a light gray skirt, carrying both the air of a mature older woman and a relaxed ease.

She did not have the cold distance of an elite today. Instead, she looked like a gentle and approachable senior schoolmate.

“Let’s go. We’re heading to the airport.”

Secretary Chen smiled as she took the suitcase from Zhou Muxian. As she strode outside, she did not forget to ask Zhou Muxian about her preferences. “Tomorrow, we’ll go to Pingyao Ancient City first, then north to the Yungang Grottoes, then south to the Dunhuang Mogao Caves and the Potala Palace. When the time comes, we’ll stay up all night to watch the sunrise over the golden mountain. After that, we’ll go from Xishuangbanna to Erhai, then up to Fenghuang Ancient Town, then Shennongjia, and detour to West Lake. This is my preliminary plan. If there’s anywhere you like, tell me, and I’ll revise it immediately.”

In just half an hour, including the drive to the Yu residence, Secretary Chen had actually already made a preliminary plan. This execution ability left Zhou Muxian amazed.

“I’m fine with anything. I’m not picky. Wherever Secretary Chen says we go, I’ll go.”

Zhou Muxian agreed right away, but in reality, she felt somewhat troubled inside.

She only wanted to find a place to hide out her susceptible period. When she told Mother Yu that she wanted to visit many cities, it had only been to dispel Mother Yu’s doubts and let her leave the house.

If she really had to undergo military-drill-style tourism during her susceptible period, she truly would not be able to handle it.

On the way to the airport, Secretary Chen kept picking up her phone during red lights to check the flights for the next few days. By the time the car stopped in the airport parking lot, she had already booked round-trip tickets to various cities for the next ten days.

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely make sure you have a wonderful time. Every scenic spot will be checked off. I guarantee you won’t miss a single beautiful view.”

“Th-thank you. But actually… there’s no need to rush so much. Isn’t it a little urgent?” Zhou Muxian struggled carefully.

“Trust me to handle things. We’ll make it. We definitely won’t miss anything.” Secretary Chen glanced at her phone and answered crisply.

Zhou Muxian had nothing more to say and silently followed behind Secretary Chen.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Her phone suddenly vibrated. Zhou Muxian casually glanced at it, only to see that it was a call from Yu You. Her heart trembled, and she hurriedly tapped to answer.

“Where the hell did you go? Why aren’t you back yet?”

The person on the other end did not use kind words, but her tone carried a bit of someone lowering their head to coax another. Zhou Muxian, who had been uneasy, instantly felt comfortable all over and grinned. “I’m going traveling, Sister.”

The other end fell silent.

Seeing that Yu You did not speak, Zhou Muxian could not figure out whether she was still angry or not, so she asked softly, “Sister isn’t angry with me anymore?”

“Why would I be angry with you? Are we very close?” Yu You asked sarcastically.

“Did I do something wrong and make Sister angry? Tell me, Sister. I’ll definitely change.” Zhou Muxian truly could not understand and longed for Yu You to openly tell her what the problem was.

If she had to guess it herself, she really would not figure it out in eight hundred years.

The person on the other end was still sarcastic. “How could you be wrong? You’re so smart, so amazing, so good at talking. What could possibly be wrong with you?”

“Sister…”

Zhou Muxian called out bitterly and wanted to say something more, but Secretary Chen beside her looked anxiously at her watch. “The ticket was bought right on the dot. Boarding is about to begin. Go through security first. You can talk after we land.”

The person on the other end heard Secretary Chen’s voice and sounded somewhat surprised. “You and Secretary Chen are going out together?”

“That’s right.” Zhou Muxian met Secretary Chen’s death stare and hesitated over how to hang up.

The person on the other end said faintly, “Oh. Then you’d better seize this good opportunity. Secretary Chen is the heartthrob of Yu’ai Group. Who knows how many Omegas have been charmed to death by her.”

After saying this, Yu You still showed no intention of hanging up, so Zhou Muxian did not dare hang up either. Secretary Chen’s gaze on her gradually grew solemn.

After more than ten seconds, Secretary Chen picked up her phone and compromised. “I’ll rebook the tickets. You two can chat a little longer.”

Hearing this from the other end, Yu You said sourly, “Hurry up and go through security. You’re making it sound like I’m affecting your little two-person trip.”

The call was cut off immediately.

Seeing this, Secretary Chen put down her phone and walked straight toward the security checkpoint. After taking a few steps, she sensed something was wrong and turned back to look at Zhou Muxian, who was still standing where she was.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhou Muxian’s face was full of conflict. “How about I go home first and travel another day?”

Secretary Chen looked at her in disbelief, shock written all over her face. Soon, she returned to calm. “Did Yu You call because she also wants to travel together? How about this: we’ll set off first, then go pick her up later. All right?”

Seeing that Zhou Muxian did not speak, Secretary Chen added, “My work has already been handed over to Secretary Zhou. She postponed other work to temporarily take over mine, and someone else has also connected with her original work.”

In short, everything was ready. The arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

“Then let’s go.”

Zhou Muxian did not hesitate anymore. Going back on her word would indeed cause trouble for many people. During this susceptible period, it was still best to avoid Yu You if she could.

In any case, home was there. She would always go back.
