A Vicious Female Rival Omega is Sweet and Soft - Chapter 11
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent for a while.
Ye Yixi’s mind was actually still a mess right now. She recalled what had happened last night again, and in a daze, several blush-inducing images flashed through her mind. From a third-person perspective, she saw herself pressing Shen Qingran down and kissing her wildly, the kind that made even the root of her tongue go numb.
What was going on?
There definitely had not been any scene like that among the things that happened yesterday!
Ye Yixi shivered all over and only belatedly realized that it had been a dream from last night…
Amitabha. This was too sinful. How could she have had that kind of indescribable dream about Shen Qingran? But it was probably due to the influence of pheromones. She seemed a little unable to resist that sweet fragrance from Shen Qingran’s body…
As Ye Yixi recalled all this, her face grew redder and redder. In the end, she shrank into the blanket like a little quail.
Shen Qingran watched as her face turned so red it almost caught up to a monkey’s butt. She withdrew her gaze, turned around, and poured herself a glass of water. The cool water flowed into her dry throat, instantly making her feel much more comfortable.
“Um, Miss Shen, so why did this situation suddenly happen to you?”
Ye Yixi finally sorted out her thoughts a little. After calming down, she asked the question she was rather curious about.
Shen Qingran placed the glass back on the table. Her loose hair had been tied back into a low ponytail again. Her gaze drifted slightly, as if she were hesitating. After wavering for a while, she still spoke.
“To be honest, I actually suffer from… pheromone disorder syndrome.”
What syndrome?
When Ye Yixi heard it, she did not even react at first. This term was quite unfamiliar to her. This answer was beyond her expectations. Shen Qingran actually had such a strange condition?
“Uh… Miss Shen, I don’t quite understand.”
“It’s fine. This is a relatively rare pheromone-related illness. Not many people know about it. To put it simply, I can’t control the timing of my heat period. I might fall into heat at any time, and…”
At this point, Shen Qingran paused. She did not continue, instead changing the direction of the conversation.
“In any case, it was my mistake. I should have kept medicine with me at all times. I thought that since I had taken medicine before leaving, nothing would happen, but in the end…”
Shen Qingran was quite open about it, directly telling Ye Yixi about her condition. She did not feel that it was anything especially difficult to speak about, but it did bring some inconvenience to her life. As an Omega, this kind of matter was already much harder for her than it was for an Alpha, let alone with her special constitution.
However, if it had been before, Shen Qingran absolutely would not have told Ye Yixi about this.
So that was how it was.
Ye Yixi nodded after hearing it. After all, in an ABO world, this kind of constitution was far too unfriendly toward Omegas. She did not know whether these details had been mentioned in the original book, but Shen Qingran’s personality was truly much stronger than she had imagined.
For a moment, Ye Yixi actually felt a little heartache for her.
But then she thought about it again. This kind of melodramatic setting really did perfectly fit the law that all rich people must have some illness. It was like how domineering CEOs in novels always had some kind of gastritis, allergy, manic obsession disorder, or something similar. This could also be considered a complete set of elements…
“I really haven’t heard much about it. Is there any possibility of curing this condition?”
“I’ve tried hard, but for now, it’s very difficult. The doctor said I need to find someone whose compatibility with me reaches a hundred…”
Her words stopped abruptly halfway through.
Shen Qingran suddenly felt that perhaps she had spoken a little too much today. These things clearly had nothing to do with Ye Yixi. There was no need to tell the other party every single detail.
What was she doing right now?
Thinking of this, Shen Qingran looked troubled and forcefully swallowed the rest of her sentence.
Ye Yixi was not some fool who did not understand how to read the room. She immediately understood what Shen Qingran meant. If someone did not want to talk about their privacy, then there was no need to talk about it. She also had no reason to keep asking.
So she changed the topic.
“Miss Shen, are you waiting for your driver to pick you up?”
“Mm. I’ll notify the driver first.”
Shen Qingran followed the way out that Ye Yixi gave her. Then she took out the phone buried under the pillow. Her slender fingers tapped and swiped across the screen. But when she reached some unknown interface, Shen Qingran’s expression changed, and her whole body froze.
Ye Yixi saw that the person in front of her looked off, and confusion rose in her heart as well.
“Miss Shen… what’s wrong?”
Shen Qingran did not answer. Instead, she directly turned her phone screen toward Ye Yixi.
Ye Yixi narrowed her eyes and saw that a trending news page was displayed on it. This time, the main characters were no longer herself and Shen Qingran, but Gu An.
Gu An Acting Like a Diva and Getting into a Fight?
Ye Yixi felt confused as she looked at the high-ranking trending search. After all, her impression of Gu An was that she was the gentle and refined type. It was quite difficult for Ye Yixi to connect fighting with her image.
But where had the plot developed to now?
Why was the female lead’s official love interest also coming out to cause trouble?
The news page included several blurry pictures. They looked as if Gu An was acting like a big shot and bullying staff members. Every move of a traffic celebrity was already heavily watched, and the slightest mistake could throw them into a whirlpool of public opinion. The moment Gu An’s matter was exposed, at least several hundred smear articles were immediately arranged.
At present, aside from passersby’s righteous anger under the topic, there were probably also many rival fans deliberately setting the rhythm.
Shen Qingran felt a headache coming on.
Why had something like this suddenly happened?
This recent period really had not given anyone a moment of peace.
Gu An was an artist signed under S Entertainment. The company had single-handedly promoted her into a currently popular actress. In addition, the xianxia movie that had recently begun filming had always been managed by Shen Qingran in terms of investment. If Gu An’s reputation was ruined, it would definitely affect the later promotion and box office of the project. Since so much money had been invested into it, Shen Qingran naturally did not want such a thing to happen, and even more, she did not want to disappoint her mother…
Shen Qingran lowered her head and rubbed her aching brow. Right now, the most important thing was to understand the specific course of events first, then work on a public relations statement. She actually believed in Gu An’s character. There had to be some misunderstanding here.
Ye Yixi also thought of this aspect.
Although artists did not have much to do with her, Y Group also owned half the investment in the movie. As the young boss, she naturally would not stand by and do nothing.
“Miss Ye, the driver will come pick me up later. If you have something to do, you can leave first. I truly feel sorry about what happened yesterday.”
Shen Qingran lowered her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she continued.
“If there’s a chance, we can… arrange another time.”
“This kind of thing wasn’t something you wanted to happen either. Miss Shen doesn’t need to keep apologizing to me. As for Gu An’s matter…”
Ye Yixi deliberately paused and blinked several times at Shen Qingran.
“After all, it’s also my company’s project. I’m willing to advance and retreat together with Miss Shen.”
Shen Qingran pursed her lips, suddenly not knowing how to respond. Those words made her feel a little embarrassed inside. In the end, she still nodded in agreement.
“Then, what should our first step be?”
“Miss Ye, how about this? We each go home first to wash up and rest properly. Then tonight… you come to my house, and we’ll discuss this matter properly together. How does that sound?”
Go to Shen Qingran’s house at night?
After hearing this, Ye Yixi could not help raising her brows. A trace of excitement rose in her heart. Did this person trust her quite a bit now? She had actually taken the initiative to invite Ye Yixi to her house…
Shen Qingran, however, was not worried about those messy things. In her own home, her safety was one hundred percent guaranteed. Although her two busy mothers were not at home, there were plenty of security guards and housekeepers. What could Ye Yixi do?
Ye Yixi had originally still been conflicted over whether to agree, but at this moment, the system interface automatically popped up. A new message appeared on it.
[Please complete the main plot mission “Provoke Gu An” in three days, host. Reward: 3 points.]
This timing was truly perfect.
It seemed the plot was about to move forward again. But what exactly did it mean by making her provoke Gu An? Ye Yixi did not quite understand, but it was most likely related to the current trending search.
So Ye Yixi no longer hesitated.
A main plot mission had to be completed. Moreover, she had only been deducted 2 points yesterday, and right now, she urgently needed to recover her losses. So she nodded and agreed to Shen Qingran’s proposal to go to her house that night and discuss the matter together.
“Alright, Miss Shen. Then I’ll see you tonight.”
…
After being tired for an entire day, the first thing Ye Yixi did when she returned home was thoroughly wash herself from head to toe. After casually eating something, she fell asleep again. This sleep lasted until a little past six in the afternoon.
Before leaving, she sent Shen Qingran another emoji. It was a picture of a little dog happily sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail. The caption on it read:
I’m heading out now!
But Ye Yixi had not expected Shen Qingran to reply so quickly. Less than three minutes later, Shen Qingran sent back an emoji as well.
It was a little cat wiggling its butt, holding a handkerchief in its paw. The caption read:
Warm welcome!
Ye Yixi could no longer suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth.
From being blocked on WeChat at the beginning to being able to chat normally now, this change had not taken particularly long. Putting everything else aside, at least it proved that the person inside this shell was quite likable!
Ye Yixi had driven to Shen Qingran’s house once before, so she had already memorized the address. In addition, she had informed Shen Qingran beforehand, so Ye Yixi drove in especially smoothly. The security guards did not stop her the entire way.
This could also be considered Ye Yixi’s first official time entering the inside of Shen Qingran’s home.
The original owner had never come here at all and did not even know the address of this villa. Although Ye Yixi had mentally prepared herself, after entering, she was still amazed by the luxurious interior.
At this moment, she sent Shen Qingran a message but received no reply, so she did not know exactly which room Shen Qingran was in.
The inside of the villa had a spiral staircase. In the center of the ceiling hung an enormous, luxurious chandelier. The whole house was truly bright and grand.
Ye Yixi somewhat confusedly explored on her own and went upstairs. Just as she had climbed halfway, she heard someone call out to her. When she turned her head, she saw a middle-aged woman with a very kind smile.
“May I ask if you are Miss Ye?”
“Mm, I am.”
The personal information above the woman’s head instantly updated. It turned out she was the housekeeper of Shen Qingran’s family—Aunt Wu.
Ye Yixi responded lightly and watched as Aunt Wu walked over to her.
“As expected, it’s you. Miss Shen already informed me in advance. She’s upstairs. I’ll take you there right away!”
Aunt Wu kept smiling, and her attitude toward Ye Yixi was extremely warm.
Ye Yixi nodded blankly, then obediently followed Aunt Wu. When they were about to reach the second floor, Aunt Wu’s tone was cheerful as she said something that nearly choked Ye Yixi to death.
“Oh my, Miss Ye, to be honest, after all these years, you’re the first Alpha Miss Shen has ever brought home!”
