A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 7
Zhou Muxian thought she had been sincere enough. Even if the other party was not completely persuaded, as long as he showed even a moment of hesitation, she was confident she could reverse the plot.
Unexpectedly, Ge An refused outright. “Thank you for your kindness, but I have no use for it now…”
“You do have use for it. If I provide the money and effort, I can definitely help you find the best—”
Zhou Muxian tried to explain again, but he interrupted her.
There was no light of hope in Ge An’s eyes. He shook his head and sighed. “Really, forget it. There’s no need. Thank you.”
As he spoke, he stood up and was about to return to his post. Zhou Muxian guessed that perhaps she was too young and lacked credibility, so she quickly chased after him. “I really am not a scammer. Whenever you’re free, I can take you to Yu’ai Group at any time to discuss a medical treatment plan.”
“I know you’re a good person, and I believe you, but forget it…”
Ge An gave a bitter smile and waved his hand. His face was full of apology, but his eyes were unusually firm. No matter what, he could no longer be persuaded.
Even if a matching liver was right in front of him, even if there would be no aftereffects and he could live a long life, he would not be moved.
Between living on and obtaining a huge reward, he had chosen the latter.
Zhou Muxian could not understand it. How could there be someone unwilling to live properly? For the sake of coveting that enormous reward, he would not hesitate to kill innocent people?
He could not even use that money himself. Was it really worth it?
“Zhou. Mu. Xian.”
A cold voice came from the parking lot exit. Zhou Muxian turned her head and saw Princess Fenxiang resting her hand on the half-open car window. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised as she stared at her playfully.
“What are you doing here?”
As Princess Fenxiang spoke, she raised her hand and brushed aside the long hair at her forehead. With an extremely slow movement, she tucked the windblown strand behind her ear.
“Don’t tell me… you missed me?”
Beneath Princess Fenxiang’s seemingly frivolous words, however, was five parts intimidation, as if she were saying—
Be careful. I saw you doing something bad. Going against me won’t end well, so watch yourself.
Hearing this, Zhou Muxian felt a nameless fire rise in her heart, but she still followed Princess Fenxiang’s act. “That’s right. I missed you.”
Each word was pronounced slowly and deliberately, like an iron hoe striking hard against cement. It was sonorous and powerful, shaking one’s skull and leaving endless aftershocks.
Princess Fenxiang felt a burst of stuffy panic in her chest. She kept feeling that something was wrong, yet she could not find the exact problem.
It was as if, invisibly, a pair of mysterious hands had pressed down on her neck, forcibly making her submit. The stronger her unwillingness became, the heavier the force of those hands pressed downward.
The corner of Princess Fenxiang’s mouth twitched, revealing a somewhat contemptuous smile. It seemed she had been too negligent in discipline. Even a little chess piece had become disobedient.
“Want to have a drink tonight?”
All this fuss was nothing more than the result of unsatisfied desire.
She had calculated that Zhou Muxian’s heat period was about to arrive. She might as well take this opportunity to mark her completely and turn this disobedient Omega into her exclusive possession.
As soon as Zhou Muxian heard the invitation, she immediately agreed. She opened the passenger door and climbed into the car neatly.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go have a couple of drinks now.”
Seeing that she had casually scattered some bait and the fish had leaped into the sky on its own, Princess Fenxiang could not help laughing proudly. She said bluntly, “Hahaha, drinking in the middle of the morning? Looks like you’re even more impatient than I am.”
“An opportunity like this can’t be missed.”
Zhou Muxian buckled her seat belt and stared at her with eyes full of expectation. “Drive straight ahead. At the corner after two traffic lights, a new bar opened. They say the atmosphere is very nice.”
“Fine.”
Indeed, an opportunity like this could not be missed.
Without another word, Princess Fenxiang stepped on the gas and headed straight for the bar Zhou Muxian had mentioned.
The main doors outside the bar were tightly shut, leaving only a small side door. Only women were allowed to enter after facial recognition.
Inside the bar, all the windows were closed. It was dark and dim, and ambiguous lights shone from every direction. Sensual music covered up everyone’s low whispers.
Pairs of eye-catching beauties had their shoulders pressed against each other, openly flirting amid each other’s seductive gazes.
Some bolder ones slowly rubbed amber-colored wine glasses against the other person’s delicate collarbones, deliberately spilling a little into the hollow of the collarbone as if by accident…
The entire space was filled with the mixed pheromones of various Alphas and Omegas, enough to make anyone who smelled them lose themselves in desire.
An ordinary person entering such a place would be unable to withstand the interference of the surrounding pheromones, causing their own pheromones to fluctuate. Even Princess Fenxiang was no exception.
That heavy smoky scent of burning charcoal appeared again, even stronger than the time at the café. Zhou Muxian instinctively furrowed her brows and quickened her steps toward the most secluded booth.
Princess Fenxiang caught the fleeting disgust on Zhou Muxian’s face, and her delighted smile unconsciously stiffened. She could not understand whether Zhou Muxian was dissatisfied with the mixed scent in the air, or whether she had an issue with her pheromones.
A few years ago, when Zhou Muxian first smelled it, hadn’t she liked it very much and become completely infatuated?
Why did she have this attitude now?
Princess Fenxiang walked toward the booth full of confusion. When she spoke again, the absurd frivolity from earlier was gone, replaced by thoughtfulness and gentleness.
“I remember you never used to come to bars. Can you handle drinking? If you can’t, I’ll take you for a drive.”
Without saying another word, Zhou Muxian picked up the Bloody Mary in front of her, tilted her neck back, and downed it in several gulps.
What a stunned fool. One look and it was obvious she had never drunk alcohol before. Who drank like that?
As Princess Fenxiang’s eyes shifted, she picked up a glass of whiskey and took a small sip. Before she could even swallow it, she saw Zhou Muxian also pick up a glass of whiskey and drain it in a few gulps.
Then she picked up a Long Island iced tea, a mojito, a Death in the Afternoon… Whatever was on the table, she picked up and chugged.
Thud—
Zhou Muxian set down the empty glass and smiled at her. “Your turn.”
When it came to drinking, Zhou Muxian had talent. She could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk and had never known what it meant to become intoxicated and dazed with desire.
Princess Fenxiang stared fixedly at Zhou Muxian, whose expression had not changed in the slightest, for a while. Her red lips parted several times, but she could not squeeze out a single word.
She inhaled, lifted the whiskey in her hand, and drank it down in several gulps. Seeing Zhou Muxian staring at her with an arrogant, triumphant expression, anger could not help rising in her heart. The smoky scent of burning charcoal surged out uncontrollably in an instant.
As if injected with stimulants, Princess Fenxiang also began drinking one glass after another, pouring them fiercely into her mouth. Perhaps because she was too anxious, or perhaps she was taking the chance to lure fish, she always spilled quite a bit onto her swan-like neck, letting it flow down into the collar of her black shirt.
Under the ambiguous lighting, the droplets hanging on her neck looked crystal clear, like a layer of glittering powder had been splashed over her. Mixed with the Alpha’s charcoal pheromones, even the Omegas passing by the booth ran away with red faces.
Princess Fenxiang sensed that all the gazes in the booth had stopped on her and felt extremely pleased. Only the person in front of her remained cold and proud, completely unmoved.
She only felt that the little chess piece she had once firmly controlled was increasingly slipping out of her grasp.
Zhou Muxian met her flickering eyes, which also carried threads of seduction, and merely smiled lightly. Seeing Princess Fenxiang’s eyes light up, she hurriedly lowered her head and leaned closer.
“Your Highness, we’re people on the same boat.”
Princess Fenxiang was very pleased to hear this. She reached out, wanting to touch Zhou Muxian’s chin, but her hand landed on a wine glass instead. “Good. It’s good that you remember. We’re in the same nest.”
Taking advantage of the alcohol going to her head, leaving her half-dizzy and half-asleep, Zhou Muxian hurriedly tested her. “Dad and Mom’s money is Dad and Mom’s money. The money of Yu’ai Group is only the money of Yu’ai Group too. It has nothing to do with me. Your Highness, what do you think I should do?”
“Hahaha, if they disappear from this world, won’t the money become yours?” Princess Fenxiang glanced at Zhou Muxian and laughed arrogantly.
In the original book, Zhou Muxian was different from Yu You. When she was young, she had consciously believed that she had been abandoned by her parents. On top of that, her first and second adoptive parents had transferred her from one family to another, so Zhou Muxian had no affection for her biological parents, even after learning that they had not deliberately abandoned her back then and that it had only been a hospital mix-up.
Princess Fenxiang’s brain was numbed by alcohol. For a moment, she forgot that the current Zhou Muxian was no longer the same Zhou Muxian from before and spoke as recklessly as usual.
Zhou Muxian pretended to be troubled and pressed further. “That’s a bit difficult, isn’t it? Could you bear to let me become a murderer? What if things are exposed? I…”
“Something this small doesn’t require you or me to act personally. I already arranged everything long ago. You don’t need to worry. Just lie down and split the money.”
When she said the word “lie,” Princess Fenxiang’s hazy eyes suddenly lifted. Her arm naturally hooked over Zhou Muxian’s shoulder, and she brought her alcohol-scented breath close to Zhou Muxian’s face.
“Of course, you can choose to lie in my arms and split the money.”
Zhou Muxian sensed the danger of the topic being shifted away. She lightly slapped Princess Fenxiang, forcing her approaching face to turn to the side. “But what if the matter comes to light? Will that person really not betray you? Can you really trust someone to do dirty work that risks their whole life and family? What if they take your money and then turn around and deny everything?”
“You really are dead-brained…”
The hand Princess Fenxiang had draped over Zhou Muxian’s shoulder suddenly swayed, then formed a peace sign. “A normal person really wouldn’t be easy to buy, but if it’s someone with a terminal illness, then that’s a different story.”
“Mm, but that kind of person isn’t easy to find either. It would take time to search…”
Before Zhou Muxian could finish speaking, Princess Fenxiang could not help sneering and interrupted her. “I said you’re dead-brained. Can’t you think a little more openly? If there’s no terminal patient, we can create a terminal patient! Do we really need to search through a sea of people for a specific target?”
If there was no patient, then create one.
When those words fell into Zhou Muxian’s ears, she uncontrollably shivered. Was this something a human could do?
Who knew how many people Princess Fenxiang had harmed with this method?
Zhou Muxian, who had fallen into deep thought, completely failed to notice Princess Fenxiang staring at her with a covetous gaze. A lingering, coaxing voice sounded by her ear. “Zhou Muxian, I want to mark you.”
Mark my ass.
Zhou Muxian had already obtained the key information, so naturally, she no longer wanted to continue acting and entangling herself with Princess Fenxiang. Treating her like air, she stood up on her own and prepared to leave.
Princess Fenxiang, whose arm was draped over her shoulder, stood up with her. After swaying two steps, she deliberately leaned her body toward Zhou Muxian and breathed hot air fiercely against her cheek.
Princess Fenxiang’s unrestrained smile and hazy eyes made the scene look extremely sensual.
Zhou Muxian lifted her eyelids slightly and instantly met the gaze of someone not far away, standing with her arms crossed over her chest and glaring at her angrily. Zhou Muxian was so startled she nearly slipped.
Why was Yu You here?!
