Accidentally Picked Up a Rich and Amnesiac Alpha (GL) - Chapter 41

On the way back, Gong Yue, who was driving, suddenly said, “I noticed that Director Bai looked displeased today. He seems to dislike you and harbors hostility towards you.”

Yan Qingqi smiled faintly. “Lots of people dislike me. Let him be. I’m just a small assistant now. It would be strange if he thought highly of me.”

That evening, Song Tingxue brought someone home for dinner: Luo Sisi, who had been away from the set for several days. Luo Sisi was a supporting actor. When she wasn’t needed for filming, her agency scheduled her for an endorsement, so she had been away shooting an advertisement.

“Sister Luo, you’ve gotten even more beautiful after a few days away.” Yan Qingqi was quite familiar with Luo Sisi now and didn’t worry about Songsong getting jealous when she complimented her beauty.

“No matter how beautiful I am, I can’t compare to Sister Song. There’s no helping it. She’s naturally gorgeous, with flawless skin. Unlike me, I can’t be seen without foundation.” Luo Sisi’s voice was sweetly seductive and naturally charming. Her eyes scanned the room but didn’t find Gong Yue.

Yan Qingqi served a plate of stir-fried snails. “Come, come, Sister Luo. I specially stir-fried snails for you.”

“Are you making me eat myself?” (The Chinese name for snail, luo si, is similar to her name Luo Sisi).

Song Tingxue laughed. “Then find a girlfriend, and you won’t be eating yourself anymore.”

Yan Qingqi laughed heartily, her eyes on Songsong, her expression saying, Songsong, you can be so mischievous sometimes.

Luo Sisi exclaimed, “Oh my god, Sister Song, you’ve turned vulgar! You really change once you have a wife. Who’s eating whom every night, you two?”

Song Tingxue blushed. “Eat, eat.”

Yan Qingqi poured Luo Sisi a drink. “Come on, Sister Luo, let’s have one.”

The two finished their drinks in one gulp. Afterward, Yan Qingqi stopped drinking with Luo Sisi. Luo Sisi drank alone for the rest of the meal, with Yan Qingqi only occasionally having a sip with her.

After the meal, Luo Sisi clutched her rounded stomach, shocked at herself. “If I do this a few more times, Sister Ji will kill me when I get back. It’s all because Sister Yan’s cooking is too delicious. I accidentally ate too much.”

Song Tingxue said, “Go exercise when you get back. Burn some calories before resting.”

“Absolutely. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep.” Luo Sisi swayed as she stood up. When she reached the door, her legs suddenly felt weak, and she stumbled, almost falling.

Song Tingxue watched, a slight smile on her lips.

Yan Qingqi quickly rushed forward to steady her. “Sister Luo, are you alright? Did you drink too much?”

Luo Sisi held her forehead, looking fragile and weak. “Mhm, I’m a little dizzy. Neither you nor Sister Song drank much. I drank it all myself.”

Yan Qingqi apologized profusely. “I’m so sorry, Sister Luo. I’ll find someone to take you back.”

Just as Luo Sisi was about to nod, Song Tingxue interjected, “No need. I’ll call Xiaole to pick her up. I heard she made plans with your assistant, and they might be hanging out nearby tonight.”

Luo Sisi let out a small “Aiya,” and her headache seemed to worsen.

Yan Qingqi asked, “What should we do, Songsong? Sister Luo seems very drunk this time. She can’t wait for Xiaole to arrive.”

Song Tingxue curved her lips. “We have plenty of rooms here. Why don’t we let Sisi stay here for the night? She can come to the set with me tomorrow.”

Yan Qingqi said, “Good idea. I’ll go prepare the guest room.”

“Ah?!” Luo Sisi grabbed her arm. “This, how could I? Staying here would be too much trouble. Don’t bother.”

Yan Qingqi said, “How is this a bother? It’s nothing. I’ll go brew you something to sober you up. Sit down and rest for a bit.”

Luo Sisi was truly anxious. “No, really no. You should still find someone to take me back to the hotel.”

Yan Qingqi was about to insist on keeping Luo Sisi for the night when Song Tingxue spoke. “A-Yan, why don’t you trouble Xiao Gong again? Ask her to take Sisi.”

Luo Sisi now wore a massive smile but said, “Wouldn’t that be impolite? I don’t want to trouble Miss Gong again.”

Yan Qingqi went to the basement and quickly returned. “It’s all set. Xiao Gong will drive her. She said she’ll be right up.”

As Gong Yue helped Luo Sisi to the car, Song Tingxue asked Yan Qingqi, “A-Yan, did you figure out anything?”

“I figured it out. Sister Luo is very drunk this time. She almost fell into Miss Gong Yue’s arms.” Yan Qingqi scratched her head. “It’s strange. She clearly didn’t drink as much as last time.”

Song Tingxue chuckled softly. “Silly. Sisi wasn’t drunk at all. The whole thing was an act.”

“Ah?! An act! I thought she was seriously drunk.” Yan Qingqi was even more confused. “Why would she fake being drunk?”

Song Tingxue smiled faintly. “So Xiao Gong would drive her back to the hotel.”

Xiao Gong, Gong Yue… all just to get Gong Yue to drive her back…

Yan Qingqi blinked, thinking for a long time. “Sister Luo… does she have a crush on Gong Yue?”

In the car, Luo Sisi leaned against the seat back, dressed in her red dress. Strands of hair covered her face, messy yet seductive and charming.

“Xiao Gonggong, thank you for your trouble again.”

Gong Yue snorted. “If you can’t drink, drink less. Don’t you know it’s dangerous for an Omega to get drunk?”

“Are you worried about me?” Luo Sisi reached up to brush the hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. Every glance added to her charm.

Gong Yue frowned, deciding to ignore her. Who knew if this “succubus” would suddenly launch a surprise attack while they were talking nicely.

“This is for you.” Luo Sisi pulled a small gift box from her bag.

Gong Yue refused. “I don’t want it. I don’t accept rewards without merit.”

“Take it. It’s nothing much.”

Gong Yue shook her head. “I don’t want it. I can’t accept gifts.”

“Why are you so stubborn? It’s a gift for you. I’m not asking you for one.”

Gong Yue said without thinking, “I’m not used to receiving gifts. I’d rather you ask me for a gift than ask me to accept one.”

Luo Sisi smiled radiantly. “Alright. Then I’ll ask you for a gift. It’s the Qixi Festival soon. Will you buy me a gift? I’ve never received a gift on Qixi Festival before.”

Gong Yue: “…” Did I just dig my own grave?

She had already said it. If she didn’t buy a gift, she would be going back on her word and seem untrustworthy. If she did buy a gift, Qixi Festival was essentially the Chinese Valentine’s Day. Buying Luo Sisi a gift on that day seemed even worse.

When they arrived at the hotel, Luo Sisi pressed the gift into Gong Yue’s arms and lightly stepped out of the car.

Gong Yue called out to her. “Weren’t you drunk? Will you be alright walking alone?”

“I’m fine,” Luo Sisi smiled at her. “Little kid, your sister doesn’t need anyone to support her this time.”

The term “little kid” immediately made Gong Yue’s face flush.

She remembered the time she kindly drove Luo Sisi back to the hotel, helped her when she almost fell, and the “succubus” took the opportunity to kiss her cheek and pinch her waist.

“It’s best if you can walk by yourself.” Gong Yue turned the car around and drove away with a heavy foot on the gas.

While waiting at the next traffic light, Gong Yue was curious. She picked up the gift the “succubus” had given her and opened it. It was a pair of sunglasses. She suddenly remembered Luo Sisi teasing her on the set. “Xiao Gonggong, your skin looks like it can handle the sun, but your eyes seem very sensitive to it.”

Gong Yue curved her lips. Just as she was putting the sunglasses back in the box, her phone rang. It was the “succubus.”

The moment the call connected, Luo Sisi’s panicked and angry voice came through. “Gong Yue! Gong Yue, hurry!”

There was a commotion on the other end of the line. Gong Yue heard a man’s vulgar, rough laughter. “Hit her! Call the number! Call someone! Let me see if your girlfriend shows up!”

The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon sped down the road. A few minutes later, it arrived at the hotel.

She was about to call Luo Sisi when she heard a commotion near the elevator. Someone was causing trouble. Three men were blocking Luo Sisi near the elevator lobby.

“Hey, beautiful, take off your mask and let us see your face.”

“What’s wrong? Not allowed to look?”

“Don’t run away. Where are you going?”

“You have a good figure, but are you an ugly hag?”

“Hahaha, is that why nobody wants you? Since you have a good body, I’ll take you. Come play with us.” The man spoke with vulgar laughter, reaching out to rip off Luo Sisi’s mask.

Luo Sisi wore her mask and backed away, her face pale with anger. “Your whole family is an ugly hag! You’re an ugly hag!”

“You bastard!” One man became enraged and raised his hand to slap Luo Sisi.

But the slap never landed. A scream rang out, followed by a dull thud. The fat, pig-headed man leading the group was knocked to the ground.

Luo Sisi’s eyes lit up as she saw the figure standing in front of her. She immediately felt reassured.

“See? My girlfriend is here! Get lost, all of you, unless you want a beating!”

The other two men glared at the tall, slender woman. “You bastard! You dare to strike us?! Do you know who we are?”

Gong Yue said coldly, “I don’t know. All I know is that whoever dares to touch my girlfriend today, I will beat them to a pulp.”

The two men helped their leader up and glanced at the surveillance camera in the hallway. “Hey! You bastard! You wanna go outside and fight?”

A faint smile appeared on Gong Yue’s lips. “Outside? Fine, let’s go outside.”

Luo Sisi was afraid she would be outnumbered and quickly pulled her arm. “No, let’s call the police.” Gong Yue looked back. “Don’t worry. This small matter doesn’t need the police. I’ll be right back.”

“Then I’m coming with you.”

“Aren’t you scared?”

Luo Sisi wore a wide mask that covered most of her face, leaving only her sparkling eyes visible. As she looked at Gong Yue, her eyes were bright and filled with a smile. “I’m not scared. You’re here, aren’t you?”

Gong Yue was momentarily stunned. She stared at those eyes, her heart racing uncontrollably.

They reached the back of the hotel’s green belt, a blind spot for surveillance cameras. The three men pulled out knives from somewhere, looking vicious and menacing. “You bastard! You’re asking for death! How dare you hit our boss!”

Luo Sisi watched from a distance. She saw an empty beer bottle near a trash can. She planned that if Gong Yue was stabbed, she would grab the bottle and smash it on those bastards’ heads!

But in just a few moves, the three men were all knocked down, howling in pain on the ground.

Gong Yue kicked the knives away. She fiercely kicked one man in the face, then fiercely kicked another in the stomach, and finally fiercely kicked the last man in the butt.

Luo Sisi was stunned. She suddenly forgot about the bottle and ran straight over.

Gong Yue was about to say, “I’m fine.”

Instead, Luo Sisi started kicking the three men relentlessly.

“You think you’re hot stuff just because you have a little money, huh?”

“You said my mother has a good figure. Why don’t you go after her, then?!”

“I’m going to kick you to death today!”

With no cameras around, Luo Sisi dropped all pretense. She kicked the three men until they looked like battered pigs.

Hearing their pained whimpering, Luo Sisi felt immense satisfaction.

“Alright, let’s go. They’ll be out of commission for a while.” Gong Yue couldn’t pull Luo Sisi away, so she had to pick her up.

“Go pack your things and move to another hotel.”

“Why?”

“I’m afraid they’ll seek revenge and wait for you outside the hotel.”

“Fine. I’ll listen to you.”

Actually, when she ran into trouble in the hotel elevator, some crew members had seen it and informed the assistant director. The assistant director was gathering people, but Gong Yue had already arrived first.

Luo Sisi went up and grabbed her luggage. In the hallway, she ran into the crew members. “Sister Luo, are you alright? What about those thugs?”

“I’m fine. My friend dealt with them.”

“Then where are you going?”

“I’m moving to a different place for peace and quiet, to avoid trouble.”

The crew members said, “Alright. Call us if you need anything.”

Luo Sisi came out with her luggage. Gong Yue saw her from a distance, got out of the car, took her luggage, and put it in the trunk. Once they were in the car, Luo Sisi took off her mask and asked, “Which hotel do you think I should stay in?”

“Stay at the Harmon. It’s close to Venice Garden. If anything happens, Miss Song and Miss Yan can keep an eye on you.”

“And what about you? Will you look out for me?”

“Ahem, if you run into real trouble, I will… it’s best if you stay safe and nothing happens.”

The moment she finished speaking, Luo Sisi suddenly leaned in.

Gong Yue sensed danger and worried she was going to kiss her again. She quickly moved to the side, but Luo Sisi was too fast and stroked Gong Yue’s chin.

“What are you doing?” Gong Yue was both embarrassed and annoyed, her face completely red. “Why do you always touch me?”

“I don’t. I don’t touch other people.” Luo Sisi lifted the hand that had just touched Gong Yue’s chin. “Such soft skin. You’re out in the sun all day, but you still have such good skin. It’s infuriating.”

Gong Yue: “…”

At the Harmon Hotel, Gong Yue helped her with her luggage. “I’m going back now. Goodbye, Miss Luo.”

Luo Sisi looked wronged. “Aren’t you going to take me up? Aren’t you afraid I’ll run into those lustful thugs in the elevator again?”

Gong Yue had no choice but to wait for her to check in and then take her up to her room.

The room door beeped open. The lights instantly illuminated the luxurious suite.

“Alright, we’re here. Miss Luo, rest well.”

“Wait.” Luo Sisi grabbed her arm. Gong Yue’s heart pounded with panic, but she forced herself to remain calm. “Is there something else?”

“Thank you, my girlfriend.”

Gong Yue’s face flushed crimson instantly. She stammered, “Don’t… I, you, I’m not your girlfriend.”

“But didn’t you just tell those men I was your girlfriend?”

“That was… that was to help you get out of a difficult situation.”

“Is that so,” Luo Sisi inhaled deeply, her voice tinged with regret. “Then, thank you, Miss Gong. Goodbye.”

Gong Yue nodded mechanically.

While relieved, she also felt empty and a profound sense of loss.

“Well, goodbye.” She grabbed the doorknob, twisted it hard, and was about to open the door when her wrist was grabbed again.

A fiery kiss was pressed onto her. In a cloud of fragrance, soft lips, moist and sweet, landed on hers.

“Gong Yue, be my girlfriend. I mean it.”

Gong Yue’s mind went blank. She was completely frozen.

When she left the hotel and got into the car, her mind was still reeling.

The young Alpha sat blankly in front of the steering wheel for a long time. Finally, she slowly lifted a hand and, as if savoring the moment, gently touched her own lips with her fingertips.

The next day on the set, during a break, Song Tingxue also heard about what happened at the crew’s hotel last night.

“Sisi, are you alright? I heard a few thugs blocked you at the hotel last night?”

“Three low-life thugs. I don’t know how I ran into them by the elevator. They were so arrogant and even tried to hit me.”

Song Tingxue was worried. “Then what happened? Did they hit you?”

“They did. They even pulled out knives. It’s a good thing Gong Yue drove me. She took down those bastards. Otherwise, I’d be the one in the hospital with a black eye today.”

Song Tingxue felt a chill. “Thank goodness Xiao Gong went with you. Where are you staying now? The crew said you moved out.”

“I moved to the Harmon.”

“The Harmon? That’s not far from us.” Song Tingxue thought for a moment. “How about starting tomorrow, I’ll swing by and pick you up on my way to the set.”

“That would be great, if it’s not too much trouble, Sister Song.”

That night, after their intimacy, Song Tingxue lay lazily in Yan Qingqi’s arms and gossiped with her. “Do you know what happened last night?”

“What happened?”

Song Tingxue told her about Luo Sisi’s encounter last night.

“I can’t believe this happened at a five-star hotel. Those three thugs were so brazen. That’s too much.” Song Tingxue shook her head, a serious look on her face. “It’s a good thing Xiao Gong was there. I can’t believe Xiao Gong has such great fighting skills.”

Yan Qingqi smiled faintly. Jing Michu personally selected her bodyguards. Would their skills be lacking?

“A-Yan, aren’t you surprised? A housekeeper with such great fighting skills?”

Yan Qingqi: “…”

Oops, I almost gave myself away to my wife.

“Well, rich people’s housekeepers have to be multi-talented, right? Go to sleep, wife. Don’t worry about it. It’s good that Sister Luo Sisi is safe.”

“Mhm. I need to call Sisi.”

Song Tingxue reached out a pale arm, grabbed the phone on the nightstand, and called Luo Sisi. She was only relieved when she confirmed that Luo Sisi was safe and sound at the Harmon Hotel.

August was exceptionally hot. Yan Qingqi wore shorts and a short-sleeved shirt when she delivered lunch today.

Looking at Song Tingxue, who was wearing several layers of heavy costume, Yan Qingqi felt heartbroken.

“Songsong, sit down and rest.” Yan Qingqi rolled up her sleeves. As she rolled them, she said, “I don’t understand. Didn’t ancient people feel hot wearing so many layers? The ceremonial clothes are beautiful, with long, flowing sleeves, but wouldn’t that make simple tasks like eating difficult? Perhaps the noble ladies and gentlemen had servants for everything and didn’t have to worry about physical labor.”

Song Tingxue smiled. “We have air conditioning now. It’s much better than in ancient times.”

Because of the heat, Yan Qingqi made mostly light and refreshing dishes. After Song Tingxue finished eating and resting, Yan Qingqi poured her a bowl of mung bean soup before she was about to get out of the car.

“It’s hot. You have to film under the scorching sun. Drink some mung bean soup.”

Song Tingxue picked up the bowl and drank it. The mung bean soup was cooked until it was mushy and wasn’t too sweet. She finished it quickly. “I want to drink more tonight.”

“Alright. We’ll drink it together tonight.”

Yan Qingqi helped her fix her clothes, then opened the car door. She jumped out first and then turned to help Songsong out of the car.

Song Tingxue asked, “Do you want to watch me film?”

“No, I won’t go stand there and gawk and interfere with your acting.”

Song Tingxue asked, “Don’t you get jealous seeing me act in scenes with other people?”

“What is there to be jealous of? It’s just your job.” Yan Qingqi smiled at her, lowering her voice. “And I think that Xu Huanyan is nowhere near as good as me. He’s not as good-looking.”

“But he has eight-pack abs.”

“That’s not exactly going up a mountain to fight a tiger. Besides, is just having a lot of muscle enough to be considered good-looking? Then wouldn’t every blacksmith be a god of beauty?”

Song Tingxue’s mouth twitched with suppressed laughter. She was truly relieved. A-Yan was really not overthinking things.

After Song Tingxue walked away, Yan Qingqi watched her receding figure. She was dressed in white, with long, flowing sleeves and dark hair that swayed gently in the breeze, like a moving landscape painting—elegant and free-spirited.

So beautiful and ethereal! There really was a reason why ancient people dressed like that. My Songsong is an actual fairy!

Yan Qingqi turned around and scanned the area. She noticed Gong Yue, in her crisp, professional suit, with sunglasses perched on her nose, looking tall and stern.

“Xiao Gong, those sunglasses are pretty cool.”

Yan Qingqi wondered if it was her imagination, but she thought Gong Yue’s face flushed.

Yan Qingqi was busy these days. In the mornings, she shopped for groceries, exercised, and cooked. In between, Jing Michu would call her for meetings. In the afternoon, she had to check emails, tidy the house, and clean. Once that was done, she had to prepare dinner. The evening was reserved for her and Songsong’s intimate time, and she absolutely couldn’t drop the ball there.

The only time she could truly relax and recover some energy was when Gong Yue drove her back to the villa.

“Miss Yan,” Gong Yue stammered. “Um, there’s something I’d like to ask your opinion on.”

“What is it?”

“The Qixi Festival is coming soon. I want to buy a gift for a girl. What do you think I should get?”

Yan Qingqi asked, “Your girlfriend?”

“No, not exactly…” Gong Yue’s face flushed even redder. She quickly corrected herself. “Well, yes, I suppose so.”

Yan Qingqi glanced at her, still unsure if the person she was talking about was truly her girlfriend.

“To buy a gift for a girl, you need to know what she likes.”

Gong Yue said, “I don’t know what she likes. She seems to hold her liquor well. Should I buy her two bottles of alcohol?”

Yan Qingqi: “…”

Holds her liquor well? It must be Sister Luo!

“Please don’t buy her alcohol. Omegas value their appearance. If you really buy her two bottles of alcohol, she’ll probably be angry and won’t talk to you for two years. You should buy clothes, lipstick, or small accessories. You can’t go wrong with those.” Thinking about clothes, Yan Qingqi remembered that Luo Sisi liked wearing UE and CL. “Go check out UE or CL. Focus on trendy, passionate styles. Many girls love those.”

Gong Yue looked relieved, her face clearing. “Thank you, Miss Yan.”

Yan Qingqi nodded, looking at Gong Yue with a parental gaze. “Xiao Gong, how old are you, by the way?”

“Twenty-five. Born in December.”

“What do you do when you’re not working? Do you go out drinking with friends?”

“No, I don’t love drinking. I have a few drinks with friends occasionally. When I have time, I go to a shooting club, and I also go scuba diving.”

“You’re very athletic. Have you ever had a girlfriend before?”

“No. I was young before and didn’t consider it. My father said that in this line of work, you absolutely cannot be distracted while on a mission.” Gong Yue sighed, her brow furrowed. “Perhaps I made a mistake this time.”

Luo Sisi was a popular celebrity. After her shift ended last night, Gong Yue looked her up online.

A person so bright and dazzling, a stunning beauty under the spotlight, would she really be interested in a little bodyguard like her?

Perhaps she was just bored and teasing her.

She tossed and turned in bed, contemplating the huge disparity in their status. At the same time, she remembered her saying, “Gong Yue, be my girlfriend. I mean it.” Her heart was completely tormented. She only managed to sleep for two hours in the second half of the night.

Yan Qingqi said, “Don’t feel like you made a mistake just because you’re distracted. If you have a girlfriend, would you be careless when protecting me?”

Gong Yue said seriously, “Absolutely not. I would never let anything interfere with completing my mission. In bodyguard work, failure is absolute failure. I would never allow such a mistake to happen!”

Yan Qingqi smiled. “Your father raised you well. But we are human, not machines. Humans have emotional needs. If she likes you and you like her, why not seize this opportunity? Some people, once missed, are gone forever. Liking her and completing your mission are not mutually exclusive. Your father might have worried you’d be distracted because you were young and didn’t know how to balance things then. Now, I believe you are capable and can handle both your work and your relationship.”

Yan Qingqi examined her and smiled. “It would be a pity for a handsome Alpha like you to stay single your whole life.”

Gong Yue couldn’t help but smile slightly. “I understand.” After a pause, she asked, “I don’t know if her feelings for me are genuine.”

Yan Qingqi was momentarily taken aback. She didn’t know how far Gong Yue and Luo Sisi’s relationship had progressed.

“You can’t just refuse because you’re unsure. You’ll find out later if her feelings are genuine, won’t you? If she turns out to be a player, then you don’t need to cling to her.”

On this matter, Yan Qingqi would always side with what was right, not with those she knew. Even though Luo Sisi was Songsong’s good friend, if she were a manipulative “scum Omega,” Yan Qingqi would never defend her or invite her to dinner again.

However, after interacting with Luo Sisi, she was certain Luo Sisi was not that kind of “scum Omega.” Otherwise, Songsong wouldn’t be good friends with her.

Gong Yue said gratefully, “Miss Yan, thank you so much!”

“Don’t thank me. Someone likes you. You should thank them.”

Yan Qingqi glanced at her, looking at the young, shy Alpha who was nervous about her first relationship.

Gong Yue was good-looking, with the typical tall, athletic build of an Alpha. She was composed and reliable, a trustworthy person.

If Sister Luo were to get together with Gong Yue, given Luo Sisi’s personality, Gong Yue would probably be the one who gets teased.

The pot on the stove was bubbling happily. Yan Qingqi stood in front of the counter, suddenly worried.

The Qixi Festival was fast approaching. Gong Yue had already figured out what to buy Luo Sisi, but she hadn’t prepared anything for Songsong.

She and Songsong had been married for several months, and she hadn’t given Songsong a single gift yet.

Yan Qingqi decided to use the Qixi Festival as an opportunity to give her first gift.

So, what should she give?

Suddenly, she realized the advice she gave Gong Yue wasn’t good for her at all.

Clothes. Songsong had plenty of clothes. And she was a “poor person” with 30 million in her pocket, still relying on Songsong for support. If she bought a dress costing hundreds of thousands, Songsong wouldn’t be happy. She would ask where the money came from.

As for food, Yan Qingqi looked at the steaming soup in front of her. Wasn’t she cooking for Songsong every day?

Then she would buy a small accessory. Yan Qingqi happily stirred the soup, deciding to visit the shopping center tomorrow afternoon and choose a gift for her wife.

The next day, after delivering lunch, Yan Qingqi left the set. “Xiao Gong, no rush going back. Let’s go to Meidu.”

Meidu was one of the largest and most luxurious shopping centers in H City.

As Gong Yue drove, she contacted her team. “I have an outing mission. A-Li, Mengzi, come to Meidu.”

Yan Qingqi: “…”

At Meidu, Gong Yue first reported their location and insisted on waiting for A-Li and Mengzi before allowing Yan Qingqi to get out of the car.

Yan Qingqi saw their high alert and full mobilization and couldn’t help but say, “I’m just doing some shopping. You don’t need to be so tense.”

Gong Yue said, “Miss Yan, our mission is to protect your safety. We cannot be careless at any time.”

Yan Qingqi had nothing to say and just followed Gong Yue’s lead. Gong Yue stayed close to her. A-Li was a short distance behind them. Mengzi stayed in the car, ready for rapid response.

They entered the shopping center, immediately greeted by various luxury brands.

Yan Qingqi immediately saw the UE store window, where a young woman was trying on a black slip dress. Yan Qingqi glanced at it and casually commented, “If the shoulders were a bit narrower, and she was a bit taller and brighter, this dress would be perfect.”

Gong Yue’s first thought was Luo Sisi. She imagined Luo Sisi wearing it… It would be a perfect, beautiful fit!

Gong Yue quickly refocused. She was currently on assignment and had to maintain full concentration.

Yan Qingqi didn’t linger in the clothing area and went straight to the jewelry section. She saw a necklace she liked, over 300,000 yuan. Her mobile payment was linked to Movie Queen Song’s card, so buying it was no problem. Moreover, she had 30 million in her pocket. Buying this necklace, or even jewelry worth tens of millions, was effortless.

But Yan Qingqi didn’t dare to buy it. She was afraid her wife would realize she was actually quite wealthy and uncover her true identity.

Who could understand the feeling of being rich but unable to spend it?

In the end, Yan Qingqi looked at a few bracelets priced in the thousands, but she wasn’t satisfied with the styles.

The two left the jewelry store and headed to the basement to buy drinks. The basement mostly housed restaurants, bubble tea shops, novelty stores, and small general goods stores.

Yan Qingqi chose a bubble tea shop. “Xiao Gong, I’m treating you both to a drink. What would you like?”

Xiao Gong and A-Li exchanged a look. They both said almost simultaneously, “Anything.”

Yan Qingqi shook her head. “Xiao Gong, your girlfriend will not tolerate that.” With that, Yan Qingqi ordered the seasonal specialty for all three of them, all without extra sugar.

While waiting for the bubble tea, an unattractive, slightly balding man in front of the shop next door impatiently said, “Why can’t you just buy a bottle of water? Why must you have bubble tea? Are women all so materialistic these days? If I knew you were this materialistic, I wouldn’t have agreed to meet you.”

Yan Qingqi thought, It must be a blind date.

She turned to look at the girl. She was much younger than the man, not exceptionally beautiful, but clean and neat. Pairing her with that man was a total mismatch.

Faced with the man’s angry dissatisfaction, the girl calmly said, “That’s fine. You can leave. I’ll buy my own bubble tea.”

The man seemed enraged and cursed loudly. “What kind of person are you? Trying to fool me? What trash was I introduced to? No wonder no one wants you and you can’t get married!”

At that moment, A-Li rushed forward and started yelling at the man. “Get lost! Don’t embarrass us men! Get out if you’re too cheap to spend money! Do you only feel good if a woman pays for everything for you? Take a look at yourself. Are you worthy?”

The man, who was about to yell back, backed down immediately seeing the tall, muscular A-Li’s aggressive posture. He grumbled and walked away. “Bah! Bad luck! You can be the fool if you want!”

The three bubble teas were ready. A-Li handed his cup to the girl. “Here, I’m buying you this. A man like me doesn’t drink this stuff.”

Yan Qingqi mentally gave A-Li a thumbs-up. He had the spirit of a true hero.

The girl took the bubble tea but didn’t drink it. Instead, she asked A-Li, “Should we exchange WeChat IDs?” She said she wanted to repay A-Li for the bubble tea.

A-Li’s face immediately flushed. He stammered nervously, “I don’t think so. We don’t know each other. This bubble tea was bought by our Miss. You don’t need to pay me back.”

Yan Qingqi bit her straw and smiled inwardly. “A-Li, go ahead and add her.”

A-Li pulled out his phone and added her on WeChat. The girl walked away, holding her bubble tea. Before leaving, she said, “I’ll message you.”

When A-Li turned around, he saw Gong Yue staring at him with a dark expression. “What is it, Boss?”

Gong Yue’s face was stern. “Do you remember why I called you out here?”

A-Li immediately fell silent and lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Boss. I was wrong.”

Gong Yue said, “Come see me after your shift. Now, focus on the task!”

“Yes, Boss!”

It seemed A-Li was in for a serious dressing-down. Yan Qingqi felt guilty. She had encouraged A-Li to add her on WeChat.

Yan Qingqi walked over to a small general store, looking around. While choosing a gift, she quietly said to Gong Yue, “What happened just now wasn’t A-Li’s fault. I told him to add her on WeChat.”

Gong Yue quickly scanned her surroundings, keeping a close eye on the customers in the store. “It’s not about that. We are on a mission right now. He was seriously distracted. Also, what if that couple was putting on an act? Then he would have fallen right into their trap.”

Yan Qingqi: “…”

Yan Qingqi was lucky to have a bodyguard like Gong Yue.

Yan Qingqi walked around the store and saw an adorable pig-shaped small backpack. She imagined Songsong wearing it. An ethereal, cold beauty with a pig backpack hanging on her back… the image felt a little incongruous.

Yan Qingqi regretfully put down the cute pig backpack. Her eyes shifted and landed on a jigsaw puzzle picture.

The picture showed a family of four. The Omega woman was sitting on the grass, holding a very cute little girl. The Alpha woman was holding a small teddy bear, making the little girl laugh. Not far from them, a slightly older, beautiful little girl was chasing a blue butterfly.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a beautiful house stood in the distance.

Yan Qingqi stood rooted in front of the picture for a long time until a store clerk asked, “Miss, this puzzle comes in 1,000 pieces and 10,000 pieces. Which one would you like?”

“The 10,000-piece one.”

That day, Yan Qingqi returned home happily, holding a large, heavy box.

The Qixi Festival arrived in the blink of an eye. After work, Bai Ming suddenly called out to Song Tingxue. “Tingxue, should we go out for a small get-together tonight? Grab some dinner?”

Song Tingxue shook her head. “I’m sorry, Director Bai. I already have plans tonight.”

Early that morning, Yan Qingqi had said, “Songsong, today is Qixi Festival. I’m going to bake a cake. Shall we celebrate together tonight?”

Song Tingxue had kissed her cheek. “Yes, let’s celebrate together.”

Bai Ming was stunned. He immediately thought of the little assistant, Yan Qingqi. Were they celebrating together?

Sure enough, Bai Ming faintly heard Xiaole’s excited voice. “Sister Song, Sister Yan must be making a huge table of delicious food for you. I wonder what delicious dishes there will be?”

Song Tingxue said, “I’ll go back and check. If there’s anything I can bring, I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.”

Xiaole was even happier. “Thank you, Sister Song! You’re the best! And thank you, Sister Yan! You work so hard.”

Bai Ming gritted his teeth. It really was that little assistant!

It seemed even Xiaole knew that Song Tingxue and the little assistant were unusually close.

Bai Ming seethed with frustration. He truly couldn’t understand Song Tingxue. A top celebrity, a top beauty, the famous “ice flower” of the entertainment industry—how could she be so infatuated with a small assistant?

Bai Ming’s face was dark. He lit a cigarette and took two deep, irritated drags.

Xu Huanyan saw him and fawned over him. “Director Bai, are you going out for a drink? I’ll join you.”

Director Bai sneered. Though he was an Alpha, he had no interest in male Omegas. “No need.”

“But Director Bai, it’s still early. Let’s ask the other two beauties, Huang Xiyan and Guan Tong. You know them, right? If there are more people, the atmosphere will be better.”

Huang Xiyan and Guan Tong were two minor supporting actresses in the crew who constantly buttered him up and subtly showed interest. Although their looks and demeanor couldn’t compare to Song Tingxue, and Bai Ming didn’t really think much of them, he was so distraught right now. “Fine. Let’s go together.”

This was the first time Song Tingxue had ever celebrated a holiday like Valentine’s Day.

In the orphanage, sweets and pastries were distributed on holidays. Only after entering society and film school did she hear of Christmas and Valentine’s Day.

But she had never celebrated them with anyone. On Christmas Eve, Song Tingxue, working her side job, would look at the couples walking hand-in-hand on the street, affectionate and sweet, and a slight ripple would disturb the calm surface of her heart.

Who is Miss Yan celebrating with? They must be smiling happily and sweetly.

Song Tingxue thought with a mixture of envy and acceptance, Miss Yan’s girlfriend must be very beautiful and gentle. She is a lucky girl to be Miss Yan’s girlfriend.

“Songsong, why aren’t you eating? Is it not good?”

Song Tingxue came back to herself. When she looked up, her reflection was clearly visible in those bright eyes.

She pursed her lips and curved them into a smile. She smiled very happily and contentedly.

Because she was that lucky girl.

“No, it’s very delicious.”

“Then eat just a little more.” Yan Qingqi cut a very thin, small slice of cake for her. “For your figure, that’s all you get.”

After the rich dinner, Yan Qingqi took Song Tingxue to the room. “Wife, I have a gift for you.”

“What gift?”

Song Tingxue was both surprised and delighted to hear about a gift. She didn’t know what A-Yan would give her, but anything from A-Yan made her happy.

“You’ll see in a moment!”

Yan Qingqi brought out the large box. The box was beautifully wrapped with a festive bow.

“What is this?”

“Open it and see.” Yan Qingqi sat down, smiling. In the light, she seemed to glow all over. Her bright eyes, pale skin, and charming smile made her look like an elegant, noble young woman from a comic book.

Song Tingxue couldn’t guess. “Is it a painting?”

When she opened the package, it was indeed a picture, but not what she expected. It was a jigsaw puzzle.

Song Tingxue stared at the puzzle blankly, gazing at the happy family of four in the picture. She was overwhelmed with emotion.

This was the scene she had dreamed of countless times, a distant, unattainable dream. In this moment, everything she had only dared to imagine in her dreams had become reality.

Her A-Yan was with her, loved her deeply, and they had a pair of clever, adorable children.

“Do you like it?”

“…I love it.” Song Tingxue’s eyes were slightly red, and her voice was choked with emotion. She truly loved this gift.

This was A-Yan’s gift to her: their future family.

“Songsong, let’s put it together. I think the naughty one chasing the butterfly on the big lawn will definitely be the Alpha, and the sweet, adorable one playing with the doll with her mother will definitely be the Omega.”

Song Tingxue laughed. “What if it’s the other way around?”

“That’s fine too. Many Omegas will love a sweet, adorable Alpha. And many Alphas will cherish a vibrant, charming Omega.”

Song Tingxue laughed. “You’re only praising your own daughters.”

“Of course I love our daughters! They are the most adorable babies in the world.”

Song Tingxue suddenly felt regretful. If it weren’t for filming to secure their family’s future, she would want to have a baby with A-Yan right now.

Song Tingxue happily opened the box. The floor was covered with a soft rug. The two sat down, searching for pieces and putting the puzzle together.

“Wife, is it fun?”

Song Tingxue was completely absorbed in the puzzle, a childlike, innocent smile on her face. “It’s fun. I’ve never played this before.”

She worked on it for an hour, still unwilling to stop, until Yan Qingqi urged her. “Wife, let’s stop here for today. It’s getting late, and you have to film tomorrow.”

Later that night, the two collapsed into bed together. Songsong hugged A-Yan. Their lips and tongues intertwined, greedily taking the fragrant pheromones from each other’s mouths.

“A-Yan, I really want to have your baby.”

“Having a baby hurts. Aren’t you afraid?”

Song Tingxue gasped, kissing her lips again. “I’m not afraid. Mhm… you’ll be there with me, right?”

Yan Qingqi hugged her tighter, fiercely embracing the soft, delicate Omega in her arms. “We’ll have a baby when you stop filming.”

Song Tingxue restlessly rubbed against her, wanting to be closer and closer to A-Yan.

A strong, steady arm held her waist. Yan Qingqi used her other hand to brush aside the hair at the back of her neck. The swollen scent gland on her pale neck glistened, and high-concentration Omega pheromones flowed down her pale skin.

The rich, pervasive scent of night-blooming cereus was like countless tentacles, firmly gripping Yan Qingqi’s body and soul. Her fiery eyes reflected the swollen gland, an extremely delicious attraction.

She bent down, her tongue flicking, tracing a path up her spine, swallowing all the delicious Omega pheromones. This didn’t relieve Yan Qingqi’s hunger; it only made her hungrier.

The powerful arm easily lifted the Omega. Her tongue restlessly rolled across the gland, and the cedar pheromones she exhaled completely enveloped Songsong’s delicate gland. The scent of night-blooming cereus became even richer and more delicious.

The Omega’s scent gland was fragrant and soft, like night-blooming cereus ice cream. Yan Qingqi opened her mouth and bit down.

Song Tingxue’s face was covered in a mesmerizing flush. Her eyes were veiled with a moist mist. A-Yan’s cedar pheromones were a primal attraction for her. She was like a moth, rushing recklessly into the fatal fragrance.

In the room, the scents of cedar and night-blooming cereus swirled and intertwined. Hot gasps and soft moans rose and fell.

Song Tingxue felt an indescribable tingling sensation stimulating her entire body, striking deep into her soul. She felt like she was drowning in this exquisite sensation. She involuntarily arched her pale neck backward, craving a deeper mark, craving more Alpha pheromones. Let her die in A-Yan’s cedar fragrance.

In this moment, Song Tingxue was no longer the cold, untouchable goddess of the snowy mountain. She was just a woman who had fallen to earth and whose heart had become soft and passionate—an Omega who desperately loved her A-Yan and wished to be loved and completely marked by her.
