After Falling in Love with the Scum Alpha’s Beautiful Original Wife at First Sight - Chapter 23

In the corridor, Qi Yue clutched her stomach, her features scrunched together.

The consequence of drinking too much was feeling so sick she wanted to vomit. Cold sweat broke out all over her body as she watched Qi Hengxing unhurriedly enter the door code.

Originally, Qi Hengxing had planned to take her back to the Qi family home. But when she thought about it, doing so would definitely cause chaos at home again. Qi Yue would surely be severely punished by Qi’s mother, and Qi Hengxing’s heart softened a little.

In the end, she drove back to her own place.

As soon as the door opened, Qi Yue was the first to stagger inside and look for the bathroom. Qi Hengxing followed behind her and closed the door at an unhurried pace.

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

Qi Hengxing changed into slippers, walked over, and leaned sideways against the doorframe, looking at Qi Yue’s face reflected in the mirror. It was pale and haggard.

So if drinking clearly made her feel awful, why did she still drink?

Qi Hengxing thought that she did not really understand Qi Yue.

Even though she and Qi Yue were biological sisters with the same mother and surname, they actually could not be considered familiar with each other.

She had always thought Qi Yue was immature, troublesome, willful, and rebellious. In Qi Yue’s heart, perhaps she was nothing more than a domineering, rigid old fossil.

Qi Yue could not understand the painstaking intentions Qi Hengxing was too lazy to explain in detail, and Qi Hengxing also did not understand Qi Yue’s true thoughts beneath her rebellious exterior.

If she did not understand, then so be it. This was a rotten account that could not be sorted out.

Qi Hengxing did not expect Qi Yue to suddenly become enlightened and understand her one day. In any case, right now, she had to deal with that inexplicable Alpha first.

She would do whatever it took.

Qi Yue turned off the faucet. Holding onto the edge of the sink, she only managed to straighten up with difficulty after a long while.

“…I feel a little sick. Do you have any stomach medicine?”

“I do. I just don’t know whether it’s expired.”

Qi Yue: …

She glared resentfully at Qi Hengxing, who stood to the side as if this had nothing to do with her, thinking that sure enough, it was impossible for her to speak properly with this person.

“Move.”

Qi Yue bumped past Qi Hengxing, who was blocking the bathroom doorway, and went into the kitchen on her own.

She rummaged through the fridge for a while and finally found a bottle of yogurt. After glancing at the production date on the packaging, she found that it was still drinkable.

Qi Yue inserted the straw and drank the yogurt without saying a word.

Qi Hengxing stood behind her. Seeing this scene, she looked thoughtful.

She suddenly spoke.

“I’ll contact your counselor. You don’t need to go to school these next few days. Just stay here with me. An auntie will come over to cook three meals a day for you.”

Qi Yue turned around and looked at her in disbelief. “What are you doing? Are you putting me under house arrest?”

Qi Hengxing shrugged. “No. I just want you to cut things off with that Alpha.”

“Anyway, you two are probably just in some fast-food-style relationship. As long as you don’t contact each other for a few days, that Alpha will probably delete your contact information on her own.”

Qi Yue looked as if she had heard something absurd and was just about to sneer when she suddenly realized something was wrong. She hurriedly searched herself all over.

Seeing this, Qi Hengxing took Qi Yue’s phone out of her pocket and waved it in front of her eyes.

“Are you looking for this?”

When she had restrained Qi Yue at the school gate, she had conveniently taken Qi Yue’s phone.

Qi Yue could not remember at all when Qi Hengxing had taken her phone. She took a deep breath and opened her palm toward Qi Hengxing. “Give it back.”

Qi Hengxing unlocked Qi Yue’s phone and found that Qi Yue had set a password on it at some point.

It seemed she could not find that Alpha by checking Qi Yue’s contacts. Regretfully, Qi Hengxing put Qi Yue’s phone into her own pocket, with no intention of returning it to Qi Yue at all.

“I said that you’re going to stay here obediently. Whenever you completely cut ties with that Alpha, that’s when I’ll return your phone.”

Qi Yue clenched her fists. She knew Qi Hengxing was absolutely serious.

In the eyes of their grandparents, Qi’s mother, and even outsiders, Qi Hengxing had always been a combination of positive words like outstanding, intelligent, and young and promising.

But only Qi Yue knew that this person was actually a little crazy at her core.

Although Qi Hengxing would not street race or drink excessively like Qi Yue did, once she truly went crazy, even Qi Yue was afraid of her.

This person simply would not do anything illegal or disorderly.

Under someone else’s roof, one had no choice but to lower one’s head. Qi Yue could only force herself to behave and stay quietly in Qi Hengxing’s house.

She also had no energy to think about what Shen Baiyi would do if she could not contact her during this period. It would be best if Shen Baiyi did not contact her. Otherwise, if Qi Hengxing discovered that Shen Baiyi was “that Alpha,” things would truly be bad.

Qi Yue was not worried that Qi Hengxing would do anything to Shen Baiyi.

If Qi Hengxing did not discover it, then after Qi Hengxing let Qi Yue return to school in a few days, Qi Yue could still use Shen Baiyi as an ATM and continue living freely and happily.

But if Qi Hengxing did find out, she was afraid that Qi Yue would end up with not a single cent to her name and would have no choice but to lower her head to Qi Hengxing in the end.

After staying at Qi Hengxing’s house for two or three days, Qi Yue slept late and woke late every day, but she did not really run into Qi Hengxing.

That day, she crawled out of bed and opened the bedroom door, only to discover that Qi Hengxing had already gone to work.

Only the auntie was at home cleaning. Seeing that Qi Yue had finally gotten up, the auntie asked her, “Miss Qi, do you want me to heat up the food for you again?”

“No need.”

Qi Yue ate a little something, then returned to the living room and turned on the television. After watching for only a few minutes, she found it unbearably boring and turned the television off again.

Qi Hengxing had not only taken away her phone, but also refused to give her any other electronic devices.

The only thing she could watch at home was a television. Qi Yue was so bored she was almost about to grow mold.

After the auntie finished cleaning, she also left Qi Hengxing’s house.

Only Qi Yue was left.

Unwilling to go back to bed and sleep again, she thought it over and decided to rummage through Qi Hengxing’s study to see if she could make any unexpected discoveries.

This was the first time in several days that Qi Yue had stepped into Qi Hengxing’s study.

As soon as she entered, she was shocked by the sight before her.

How was this a study? This was basically a workshop.

Qi Hengxing’s study was full of all kinds of little things she had left lying around, such as handmade little robots, airplane models pieced together from iron wire and metal sheets, and extremely complicated origami.

“What is all this random junk…”

Qi Yue could not help complaining. Impatiently, she rummaged through the pile of things, and finally found a small locked box at the top of Qi Hengxing’s bookcase.

She held it in her hands and weighed it, realizing that there was a very good chance her phone was inside the box.

Qi Yue’s spirits lifted. She could not find the key, so she simply rummaged through Qi Hengxing’s pile of miscellaneous items and found a pair of small pliers. Deciding to go all the way, she cut the lock off the small box.

When she opened the box, Qi Yue saw that her phone really was inside.

Qi Yue’s heart immediately pounded like a drum. She picked up her phone and, without bothering to check the large pile of unread messages and missed calls inside, turned and walked out.

She could actually enter and leave Qi Hengxing’s home freely. The difficult part was that she had no way to take the elevator because she did not have an elevator card.

But today, Qi Yue was truly lucky. As soon as she stepped outside, she discovered that the cleaner had just finished cleaning the hallway and was about to go downstairs. The elevator doors were still wide open.

Qi Yue forcefully held back her excitement, quickly walked into the elevator, and pretended that nothing was wrong as she went downstairs together with the cleaner.

After walking out the door and finally tasting freedom, Qi Yue had not yet had time to feel wildly happy when the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated.

She instinctively unlocked the screen and saw that someone she had no memory of adding, without a note attached and with the WeChat name J.Y., had sent her a message.

You’re Qi Yue, right? Are you free right now? Could you meet me?
