After Falling in Love with the Scum Alpha’s Beautiful Original Wife at First Sight - Chapter 5

After Xu Qingzhi woke up, her first reaction was to check the time.

She had only slept for an hour. Her headache had eased slightly, but her throat was still dry, hoarse, and painfully sore.

She got up and pushed open the bedroom door, wanting to pour herself a glass of water, only to see Shen Baiyi standing by the entrance, fully dressed and about to leave.

Xu Qingzhi froze for a moment. “Going back to the company?”

Shen Baiyi said, “Yes.”

Seeming to realize that such a reply sounded a little stiff, she shrugged and showed a somewhat helpless expression.

“There’s no helping it. My leader is pressing me hard. I don’t even have time to catch my breath. I have to hurry back to the company and report on my work.”

After saying that, she seemed to remember something. She walked forward and took something out of her bag.

Shen Baiyi smiled and said, “Oh right, Qingzhi. When I was on my business trip, I went out with my colleagues and found this necklace. I thought it would suit you very well, so I bought it.”

Xu Qingzhi took the necklace from her hand. It was a thin gold chain, simple and elegant in design. Xu Qingzhi imagined what she would look like wearing it. It should look quite nice.

“Thank you.”

Shen Baiyi smiled when she heard that. “As long as you like it. It wasn’t expensive, only a few hundred yuan. Don’t think I’m wasting money.”

Xu Qingzhi laughed lightly. “How could I?”

She raised her head and glanced at the clock on the wall. Shen Baiyi followed her gaze and looked too, then clicked her tongue. “It’s getting late. I really have to go. Qingzhi, I won’t be back at noon. There’ll probably be a department dinner tonight too, so I’ll most likely be back very late. Rest early. Don’t wait for me.”

Xu Qingzhi gave a soft hum and watched as Shen Baiyi hurriedly changed her shoes, put on her scarf, and went out.

Once Shen Baiyi left, the expression on Xu Qingzhi’s face also faded.

When Shen Baiyi went on business trips, she remembered to bring her gifts. When she came home late, she also knew to report it to her and remind her to rest early.

Between a normal Alpha and Omega, they should all be able to do these small things, right?

Xu Qingzhi turned and entered the kitchen. When she had come back earlier, she had boiled some water. Although she had slept for an hour, the water was still warm enough to drink.

Xu Qingzhi’s illness could be considered rather serious. Just the printed electronic medical instructions alone made a small stack of paper. Following the instructions, Xu Qingzhi took out several boxes of medicine. She counted them and found that she actually had to take three or four kinds of medicine in one dose, six or seven capsules and pills in total.

After taking the medicine with warm water, the words Cui Can had said to her suddenly rang in Xu Qingzhi’s ears again.

It was true that Shen Baiyi would bring her gifts, but Xu Qingzhi did not like gold or silver. She had never worn any gold or silver jewelry, not even when she got married.

Shen Baiyi would report to her and remind her to rest early, but Xu Qingzhi had spoken so many words to her in a hoarse voice, and the medicine she had brought back from the hospital was right there in the kitchen. Yet Shen Baiyi had not asked a single question about it.

Between a normal Alpha and Omega, would things be like this?

—

Shen Baiyi drove, but she did not head to the company as she had told Xu Qingzhi.

After driving for more than ten minutes, she arrived outside a club.

This club usually only opened at night, but Shen Baiyi was familiar with the place. She entered through the back door, went up to the third floor, and slipped into a room.

There was only one bed in the room. A woman sat crookedly on the bed, yawning again and again. When she saw Shen Baiyi come in, she immediately straightened, her eyes lighting up.

“Sister Baiyi, you haven’t come to see me for several days.”

Shen Baiyi casually tossed her scarf and coat aside. The room seemed to have been perfumed by the woman with some warm fragrance. Mixed together with the woman’s pheromones, it smelled so alluring that it made one drowsy.

Shen Baiyi could not help yawning. She climbed onto the bed, hooked an arm around the woman, and pulled her into her embrace.

“I’m exhausted. Let me sleep here for a while.”

The woman took the opportunity to burrow into her arms, her slender fingers drawing circles on her shoulder. “Why are you so tired? Which Omega did you go fooling around with last night?”

With her eyes closed, Shen Baiyi grabbed the woman’s misbehaving hand.

“What Omega? I just rushed through two drinking sessions. Don’t make trouble. Let me sleep properly for a while. I’m really so sleepy I can barely function. If my wife hadn’t skipped work today, I wouldn’t have needed to come all the way here just to sleep.”

A hidden strange look flashed through the woman’s eyes.

She said nothing more. She obediently waited until Shen Baiyi’s breathing became steady. After confirming that Shen Baiyi was sound asleep, she carefully freed herself from Shen Baiyi’s hold and got out of bed. Moving gently, she took the phone from Shen Baiyi’s coat pocket.

She quickly entered the lock-screen password she had once secretly seen, went straight to WeChat, and saw that Shen Baiyi had only one pinned contact. The name was Qi Yue.

She tapped into the chat and casually scrolled through their conversation history. Most of it was Shen Baiyi taking the initiative to chat with the other person, her words warm and intimate, calling her “wife” in nearly every sentence.

The woman quickly entered that WeChat ID into the notes app on her own phone, then put Shen Baiyi’s phone back. After that, she quietly and calmly returned to the bed as if nothing had happened.

When Shen Baiyi woke up, the sky outside the window was almost dark. The woman was sitting at the dressing table, tracing her brows and eyes in front of the mirror.

Shen Baiyi watched her put on makeup and found it rather interesting. She suddenly reached out and picked up a lipstick from the dressing table. “Does this shade look good?”

Her sudden voice startled the woman so badly that she nearly drew her eyeliner crooked. She gave Shen Baiyi a reproachful look. “Of course it looks good. Why else would I buy this shade?”

Shen Baiyi asked again, “How much is this lipstick? Do you have a link?”

“Probably more than three hundred,” the woman said, putting down the eyeliner pencil in her hand. Her eyes immediately lit up. “Sister Baiyi, are you going to buy it for me? But I want another shade.”

Shen Baiyi scoffed. “I’m planning to buy it for someone else.”

The woman’s face fell, and she said sourly, “You’re buying it for your wife again, right?”

Shen Baiyi had no intention of explaining the difference between Xu Qingzhi and Qi Yue to her. She replied vaguely, “That’s right.”

“Why are you so good to your wife? It’s rare for you to come here, yet you still insist on digging something out to give her?” The woman rolled her eyes, took out her phone, found the purchase link, and forwarded it to Shen Baiyi.

She had only said it casually, but how could she not understand in her heart? If Shen Baiyi were truly so good to that wife of hers, how could she still come to the club every few days to find her?

So that Omega named Qi Yue probably did not have any deep feelings with Shen Baiyi at all.

The woman’s face remained calm, but she thought that when the time came to truly destroy Shen Baiyi’s relationship with her wife, it probably would not be difficult.

Shen Baiyi smiled lazily. “Not at all.”

She reached out to play with the woman’s curled hair that hung down to her waist, wrapping the strands around her fingers again and again before letting go, repeating the motion.

Once her drowsiness had disappeared, she started wanting to do other things to stretch her body.

The woman had been fooling around with Shen Baiyi for a long time. Without Shen Baiyi needing to say it outright, she understood what she meant. Like a puddle of water, she slid from the chair into Shen Baiyi’s arms.

The pheromones on her body slowly released, ambiguously blending with Shen Baiyi’s.

“I still have to meet someone later, so hurry up. Don’t mess up my makeup…”
