A Vicious Female Rival Omega is Sweet and Soft - Chapter 5

After completing that main mission, Ye Yixi enjoyed a rare few peaceful days. The system did not issue any new tasks. However, those fair-weather friends of hers still persistently called her out to eat, drink, and have fun.

Ye Yixi originally did not really want to have too much interaction with these people, but she did have a bit of an alcohol craving. In the past, she would occasionally go out and drink a few glasses with friends too. Unable to resist the temptation, she still agreed to go out and eat with them.

As expected, bars were a paradise for young people. The lights overhead changed constantly in dazzling colors, and the sexy, fiery DJ played music that led everyone in the bar to dance along.

Ye Yixi wore a leather jacket over a cropped camisole, looking exactly like a hot biker girl. Jiang Li, the original owner’s friend in this world, walked toward her and wrapped an arm around her. This person was the second daughter of a food corporation. She happily pulled Ye Yixi to sit down. There were already quite a lot of drinks and fruit platters on the table.

The moment Ye Yixi sat down, several beautiful Omegas surrounded her, scaring her so much that she shifted several seats to the side.

Jiang Li could not help teasing her, “I haven’t seen you for a few days. Has Miss Ye turned into an innocent little Alpha?”

“These… aren’t my type.” Ye Yixi tightened her clothes slightly, pretended to look disdainfully at the people beside her, and wore an expression that showed she looked down on them. The expressions of those Omegas instantly turned somewhat ugly.

“She just has a bad mouth. Ladies, don’t mind her. Come sit with me instead!”

Jiang Li smiled sweetly as she hurriedly smoothed things over. With her pure and sweet face, honeyed words, wealth, and ability to please people, she was practically the queen of popularity in this place.

Seeing Ye Yixi’s resistant expression, no one came over to ask for trouble anymore.

Ye Yixi originally wanted to control how much she drank. The terrible feeling of being hungover had left quite a shadow on her. However, as she drank more and more, she became a little carried away. The restraint she had at the beginning gradually loosened.

By the time it was early morning, Jiang Li half-supported the drunk Ye Yixi out of the bar entrance. Ye Yixi waved her hand, signaling Jiang Li not to send her off. She could just wait here for the driver. Ye Yixi felt that she was not so drunk that she could no longer stand.

“Alright then. Be careful!”

Ye Yixi nodded with a flushed face and half-leaned against an iron pole.

As she waited, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. The night wind was a little cold, blowing against her skin and making her feel chilly. Then, with unsteady steps, she felt as if she had bumped into someone. But Ye Yixi was too dazed to see clearly. Her head seemed to be buried in some soft place.

Very soft, and very fragrant…

When she woke up again, she had already returned to her own bed.

Her head was still dizzy, but overall, she did not feel as awful as last time. She originally wanted to rest properly for a while longer, but heaven did not give her any time to breathe.

As the system’s new mission window popped open, an explosive piece of news also appeared on the trending searches of all the major social media apps on her phone.

[Ye Yixi and Shen Qingran Scandal — Explosive]

Ye Yixi’s hazy mind instantly cleared.

She impatiently tapped into the top trending search, then saw titles from all the major marketing accounts:

“Y Group Heiress Ye Yixi and S Entertainment Heiress Shen Qingran Meet Late at Night; The Two Entertainment Industry Giants Suspected of Arranged Marriage Alliance…”

Below were several photos secretly taken by paparazzi. Ye Yixi’s whole body was leaning against Shen Qingran, her arm wrapped around the other woman’s waist. Their posture looked extremely intimate.

Ye Yixi really wanted to cough up blood.

Weren’t these photos from yesterday, when she came out of the bar?

Why was Shen Qingran there?

She carefully tried to recall, but she could not remember anything. She had drunk so much that her memory had blacked out. How would she know that something like this had happened?!

“Host, yesterday, you were standing drunk beside a pole. Shen Qingran had just finished gathering with friends and happened to pass by when she came out. You plunged straight into her arms and clung tightly to Shen Qingran, refusing to let her leave…”

Shut up!

Ye Yixi was simply about to go crazy.

How could she do something so embarrassing?

Her mind was a complete mess right now. Wasn’t this plot getting more and more off track? A scandal with Shen Qingran? She dared to guarantee that this absolutely never happened in the original novel! Was this the direction caused by the butterfly effect…?

Ye Yixi calmed down slightly, then opened the system mission tab:

Please clarify the scandal with Shen Qingran within three days. After completion, you may obtain 1 point.

So now she had to clarify the scandal.

Otherwise, how could she counterattack and become the official pairing? This kind of thing would definitely affect her impression score in Zhen Xiaobai’s heart.

Ye Yixi irritably scratched her messy hair and, as if venting her anger, threw her phone aside.

These past few days were truly restless. Messages from all kinds of relatives and friends had exploded, all wanting to ask whether this matter was true or not. Even the original owner’s mother, who was abroad, called to ask about it.

As for her other mother, the chairman of Y Group, she had actually been quite happy after seeing the news. After all, the families were well-matched. If this matter really worked out, it would count as a beautiful match. For the company, it would be even more like adding wings to a tiger.

But under Ye Yixi’s firm denial, Chairman Ye finally dismissed that idea and agreed to immediately start preparing a clarification press conference for her daughter.

The fame of second-generation rich people like Ye Yixi in this book was set to be no lower than that of celebrities.

Before the press conference, Ye Yixi still wanted to contact Shen Qingran. But when she opened her WeChat list and faced Shen Qingran’s chat box, she kept typing and deleting, not knowing how to begin. After hesitating again and again, she finally gathered her courage and sent an emoji first.

What she received in return was a red exclamation mark.

“…”

So she had already been blocked by Shen Qingran long ago.

Three days later, the press conference was held as scheduled.

The venue was filled with reporters. That day, Ye Yixi and Shen Qingran had even tacitly worn the same color, making it look like they were wearing couple outfits.

Although both of them wore foul expressions and acted extremely unfamiliar with each other, when the question session began, Ye Yixi nearly had the powder on her face rubbed off by the pile of microphones.

“Miss Ye, why were you with Miss Shen outside the bar that day?”

“Your actions were so intimate. Are you really not together?”

“As the heirs of the two largest companies in the entertainment industry, have the two of you considered a marriage alliance?”

“…”

It was truly noisy, with people crowding around until not even water could pass through.

Ye Yixi had no idea what nonsense she said that day. In any case, she kept denying all kinds of things about her relationship with Shen Qingran.

However, after the press conference ended, things did not develop as Ye Yixi had expected. Instead, the popularity of the topic grew even more intense.

The reason was that that paparazzi agency actually still had more material. So they continued pushing this matter to the peak of public opinion.

Ye Yixi looked at the new photos appearing on the trending searches. They were all images of Shen Qingran leaving her villa that day, sneakily wrapped in a piece of torn cloth.

She suddenly felt a wave of heartache.

So these paparazzi had already taken photos from that long ago?

In other words, she had been toyed with by a paparazzi gang??

Now that the matter had fermented to this point, even someone as rich as Ye Yixi could not suppress the heat. No matter what she did, she could not block the netizens’ hearts that loved gossip.

Under all their noisy discussions, Ye Yixi’s mission was also declared a failure.

Ye Yixi, who had not obtained the points, was simply drowning in sadness. More importantly, Zhen Xiaobai must also know about this.

Did someone like her really still have a chance to pursue the female lead?

Ye Yixi was full of anger and did not know how to vent it. So she wrote Shen Qingran’s name on her pillow and wildly punched this woman.

That’s right. It was all her fault, wuwuwu.

For the following period of time, Ye Yixi just ate, drank, played, and lazed around. She did not care about the female lead, nor did she care about Shen Qingran.

By the time the system issued another mission, a month had unknowingly passed.

When Ye Yixi went to the filming set, she was worried the whole way. That xianxia movie had already started filming. The new mission was for her to save the female lead, which meant that Zhen Xiaobai would be in danger today.

On top of that, she did not know whether this strategy route could still continue. This made her confidence take a hit.

When she arrived on set, it was probably already the mid-shoot break. Zhen Xiaobai was off to the side, having her makeup and hair fixed by an assistant. Her hair was tied into two small buns, making her look clever and cute. She was very friendly as she chatted with the assistant sister.

After Ye Yixi confirmed the female lead’s location, she began looking around.

That was because she had heard that Shen Qingran would also come today.

They had not seen each other for a month. Strangely, she kind of missed her.

But when Ye Yixi realized that she actually had this thought, she was somewhat shocked.

Why was she thinking about that person?

Pah, pah, pah!

So Ye Yixi sat in a shady place, leisurely eating the fruit her assistant had cut for her. Today’s shoot was outdoors, and the scenery was pretty good. In front of them was a small river. Ye Yixi’s gaze drifted aimlessly.

At that moment, she noticed that there seemed to be someone beside the river. When she focused her eyes, she discovered it was actually Shen Qingran, whom she had been looking everywhere for just now.

And it was not only Shen Qingran.

There was also another person standing beside her. The personal information above that person’s head was actually glowing golden.

As if she had discovered a new continent, Ye Yixi immediately widened her eyes.

Oh my god. She had not expected that the female lead’s official love interest in the book, Gu An, would appear today!

Gu An was currently wearing a costume for the drama: a long white robe, with her hair half-tied up. Her appearance leaned toward cold and abstinent, and dressed as the master, she really did have a somewhat immortal and otherworldly aura.

Ye Yixi truly had not expected that the popular young actress acting in this movie with Zhen Xiaobai was actually her official love interest…

Ye Yixi continued staring fixedly at the two of them. When she saw Shen Qingran tuck her hair behind her ear with a gentle expression, she immediately remembered that Shen Qingran would later secretly fall in love with Gu An.

No wonder she was so quiet and refined in front of this person. Compared to how she acted in front of Ye Yixi, it was simply like heaven and earth!

Hehe. Why did Shen Qingran have two faces?

She really knew how to pretend!

Ye Yixi gritted her teeth, gripping her knife and fork tightly. Then she stuffed fruit into her mouth bite after bite, as if venting something.

It was only when someone patted her shoulder that Ye Yixi came back to her senses.

She looked up and found the assistant standing beside her, looking at her with an indescribable expression. After a while, the assistant barely managed to say:

“Miss Ye, how about I cut you another plate? This rind… maybe let’s not eat it?”

Ye Yixi lowered her head and looked at the watermelon rind in her hand, which had already been gnawed down to only half a piece. Then she looked at the assistant and glared at her.

“I just love eating rind. Mind your own business.”
