Accidentally Picked Up a Rich and Amnesiac Alpha (GL) - Chapter 18

Back at the dining table, her phone lit up with a new message.

The elite female Alpha from building 25: [The stir-fried beef with bitter melon tasted good, and the ingredients were great. I want a portion of the tomato fish fillet soup from tomorrow’s menu.]

The two people from building 24 also left messages in the group. 24-Miss Huang: [Wow! The dry-braised fish was delicious. The fish was so fresh and cleaned so well!]

24-Miss Wu: [The sister is so pretty, and her cooking is so good, too.]

Both of them ordered a portion of the tomato fish fillet soup.

Yan Qingqi was overjoyed to see such positive feedback from her customers.

In the afternoon, Yan Qingqi wasn’t as busy. She hunched over her desk and started calculating her earnings. She had sold three meals, with a total gross profit of about 100 yuan. This didn’t even include the labor she put in—waking up early to buy ingredients, preparing them, bustling around the kitchen, and delivering the food.

Regardless, earning 100 yuan was a good start. After all, it was her first income since getting married.

After taking a nap in the afternoon and preparing for dinner, four new people were added to the group chat.

They were all brought in by Miss Wu from building 24, who enthusiastically introduced the group: [This place has really good food. The boss is also a resident here and cooks private meals from her home to deliver. The number of orders she can take is limited.]

As a result, Yan Qingqi received two more orders for tomato fish fillet soup, plus two orders for steamed grouper.

She calculated that with four more meals, she would have a total of seven orders tomorrow. The steamed grouper had a higher profit margin. This would bring her total gross profit to 290 yuan. Yan Qingqi was overjoyed. If she could get 10 orders a day in the future, she would have an income of at least 300 yuan.

Yan Qingqi was satisfied. That was a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan, give or take.

She had already decided in her mind that once she earned enough money, she would use the first month’s salary to buy a gift for Songsong.

That night, when Song Tingxue returned, her eyes immediately found Yan Qingqi, who had her bandage removed. Although there was still a bruise on her forehead, her handsome face was more prominent now, especially the way her lips curved in a shallow smile. It was gentle and a little proud.

Song Tingxue’s heart fluttered. After dinner, she urged Yan Qingqi to take a shower soon.

Yan Qingqi said, “I’ll go as soon as I finish the dishes.”

The distant sound of a car passing by drifted through the window, making the Hidden Mountain Villa community feel even more serene.

Yan Qingqi couldn’t wash her hair yet, so she just showered and came out. Her skin looked as if it had soaked up water, and the healthy blush beneath her pale complexion made her look even fairer and softer. She was truly a lotus emerging from clear water.

She wore a slip dress and walked into the bedroom. Just as she let her hair down, Song Tingxue hugged her from behind.

“A-Yan,” her voice was hoarse, like the most alluring murmur.

Only a small nightlight was on in the bedroom. In the dim light, the atmosphere grew more and more intense.

A soft body pressed against her back, and a current of electricity shot through Yan Qingqi’s limbs. As her heart throbbed, the night-blooming cereus scent enveloped them like a gentle veil.

Song Tingxue held her A-Yan tightly, her kisses tracing a path from her pale shoulder all the way to the back of her neck, moving, gently grinding. Then one hand lifted Yan Qingqi’s hair, and her small nose rubbed against the Alpha’s scent gland.

The faint scent of the night-blooming cereus lingered, teasing her. Yan Qingqi trembled violently, like a cat that had been stimulated. She couldn’t restrain herself anymore. She turned and held the Omega in her arms, lowering her head to kiss her.

Their passion ignited instantly. They quickly deepened the kiss, sticking together like glue.

Yan Qingqi picked her up and carried her to the bed, leaning in and pressing Song Tingxue down. Song Tingxue held her face, passionately returning her kiss. When the kiss ended, a large portion of Song Tingxue’s collarbone was exposed, enticingly bare and making Yan Qingqi’s heart race. Her clear eyes were filled with mist as she stared at the person on top of her with a look of wronged shyness.

Yan Qingqi breathed raggedly. “Wait for me.” With that, she took out the pack of blue Alpha pills from the drawer and quickly swallowed them with half a cup of water on the table.

Then she straightened up and took off her clothes first. The Alpha’s toned body was unhidden from Song Tingxue’s eyes.

Her strong forearms, beautifully sculpted shoulders, elegant collarbones, and defined jawline.

Song Tingxue’s throat felt tight and dry. Her gaze on Yan Qingqi seemed to be on fire, and her entire body felt hot.

“A-Yan.” Song Tingxue whimpered indistinctly and actively moved closer, hugging her Alpha tightly. Yan Qingqi’s throat convulsed, and her eyes turned red as she pulled her Omega into her arms.

In the dim light, sweat mixed with heavy breathing, and the rich, thick scents of night-blooming cereus and cedarwood swirled around them, blending together and rushing deep into their blood.

Yan Qingqi released the Omega’s delicate scent gland. “Songsong, does it hurt?”

“No… it doesn’t hurt…” A flush crept into the corners of her eyes, and the cool, snow-like expression on her face had long since melted into the thick passion. Song Tingxue’s breathing was filled with a sense of urgency. “Bite me… I want you to bite me.”

Yan Qingqi bit down again, her marking teeth sinking into the scent gland, and a large amount of pheromones erupted. Feeling the Alpha’s pheromones, the scent gland wrapped tightly around the marking teeth, reveling in the indulgence.

Yan Qingqi woke up just after 5 a.m. again today. She turned her head and saw a body full of intimate red marks on Songsong’s fair skin.

She had tried so hard to restrain herself last night, but under the influence of the night-blooming cereus pheromones, she still couldn’t control herself and ended up tormenting Songsong like this.

Yan Qingqi felt a mix of love and heartache. She leaned in closer and closer, staring at the cute little white fuzz on her skin. She placed a very light kiss on her soft skin. “Wife, you’ve worked so hard. Sleep well.”

On the way to the seafood and farmers’ markets, Yan Qingqi suddenly remembered that if she included the cost of gas for her trips, she had only earned 60 yuan yesterday. That didn’t even include utilities, gas, parking fees, and other things. If she factored those in, she basically only earned enough for a cup of coffee and nothing else.

Yan Qingqi sighed. How am I supposed to save money to buy a gift for Songsong now?

Thinking about this, she looked at tomorrow’s menu. Chicken and pork ribs didn’t have to be as fresh as fish and shrimp to taste good. She could buy everything all at once today.

On her way back from the farmers’ market, she made her usual detour to the coffee shop.

Qiao An, who was on a morning jog with her friend, saw Yan Qingqi’s back again, this time without the bandage on her head.

The more Qiao An looked, the more the person’s back looked familiar. She was hesitating about whether to go say hello when the person drove away. Qiao An only managed to quickly jot down the license plate number.

Jing Michu had not been sleeping well for the past few days. She kept thinking about her cousin. Where could she be? Is she safe? Did she really run into a kidnapper?

Jing Michu both hoped to receive a ransom call from a stranger and also hoped she wouldn’t.

Her mind was a jumbled mess. She was so tired and exhausted, yet she couldn’t fall asleep until she finally drifted off around 4 a.m.

She didn’t expect to be woken up by a phone call at 7 a.m.

“Hello,” Jing Michu said, grabbing her phone. She was so sleepy her eyes wouldn’t open as she answered the call.

Lately, she hadn’t dared to miss a single call, to the point that she had even answered four or five sales calls and had angrily cursed them all out.

“Michu.”

The person on the other end of the phone said her name simply, with no discernible emotion.

Jing Michu’s adrenaline shot up as soon as she heard the voice. She immediately became wide awake and sat up in bed.

It had been six months since they last saw each other. This was the first time her girlfriend, Qiao An, had called her.

No, she’s my ex-girlfriend now. Qiao An already broke up with her.

“It’s me. This is Jing Michu.” If it had been anyone else waking her up, Jing Michu would have cursed them out and been furious. When her mother was alive, Jing Michu would complain and grumble for an entire morning if she was woken up early. But now that it was Qiao An on the phone, Jing Michu miraculously calmed down, like a well-behaved quail, acting cautiously.

The other end of the line was silent for a moment. “Where are you?”

Jing Michu’s voice was soft and gentle. She didn’t dare to speak loudly. “I’m at home.”

The other side was silent again. “Then you’re in S City?”

“Yes. Why?”

The phone went silent again. “I think I saw your cousin and thought you had come to L City with her. Since you’re in S City, then… never mind.”

“Wait! What did you say?” Jing Michu’s eyes widened, every nerve in her body tensed up, and her voice became distorted. “You said you saw my cousin?!”

After she hung up, her friend asked Qiao An, “Well? Did she come to L City? Is she trying to get back together with you?”

Qiao An’s expression was unreadable, and she felt a lump in her chest. “She’s probably not as sentimental as you think.”

“What do you mean?”

“She’s in S City, sleeping soundly.”

Yan Qingqi: What should I do? My wife is always “covered in bruises” from me, but I just can’t stop myself…
