After Falling in Love with the Scum Alpha’s Beautiful Original Wife at First Sight - Chapter 9

The two teachers at the same table seemed to have fallen into shock and did not speak for a long time.

It was not just them. Qi Hengxing felt that she, too, had briefly lost the ability to speak and think.

Every scene described from that woman’s mouth made one’s blood pressure soar.

Qi Hengxing could not help imagining herself in that situation. If that damned Alpha were standing in front of her, she would find it very hard to resist twisting that scumbag Alpha’s head off.

Qi Hengxing could not help looking seriously at the next table through the potted plants, only to find that the person speaking had her back to her.

That person’s long hair was loosely braided behind her head, with a pale blue ribbon tied in it. Her hair curved over her shoulder and fell in front of her chest, revealing a section of extremely fair and clean nape.

A white pheromone-blocking patch was firmly stuck to the back of her neck, covering the gland beneath it. The patch, which should have been very close to the color of skin, was actually not as fair as her own complexion.

An Omega. Qi Hengxing was not surprised. What surprised her was that this Omega still had a pheromone-blocking patch over her gland.

When Qi Hengxing had heard her describe those scenes so vividly just now, she had thought this woman had already experienced marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth. She had not expected that she was still wearing a pheromone-blocking patch.

So this Omega had not even been marked?

Qi Hengxing really wanted to click her tongue. It was rare to see an Omega like this. She clearly spoke in such a soft, gentle voice, yet she was like a knife.

It took the other two teachers at the next table quite a while to recover.

The older teacher coughed, trying to ease the atmosphere. “Uh, well… it probably wouldn’t be as serious as Qingzhi said.”

The gentle knife spoke again. “It’s true that it wouldn’t necessarily be that serious. I exaggerated a little.”

“…”

She agreed too quickly. Qi Hengxing could clearly sense that the young teacher felt even more choked up instead.

The young teacher stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth in grief and indignation, saying unclearly, “I’ll break up with her right away!”

Qi Hengxing laughed silently. Beside her, the vice principal had endured with difficulty until hearing this sentence, and his face had long since turned so green it was unbearable to look at. The next table seemed to have paused this topic, and the three of them finally began eating properly, chatting about other random things while they ate—

“Vice Principal, so you were sitting here. I looked around for ages before finally seeing you.”

The cafeteria worker, holding two plates of food, finally spotted the vice principal and the two guests from earlier sitting behind several potted plants. She called out joyfully and walked over with the dishes.

Qi Hengxing happened to be able to see the young teacher and the older teacher facing her instantly stop talking. Their faces went blank for a moment, then they showed identical expressions of “surely we can’t be that unlucky.”

The vice principal slowly stood up, revealing most of his head from behind the alternating cover of the green plants.

He waved at the approaching cafeteria worker. With a solemn face and a flat, unwavering tone, he said, “Be careful. When will the rest of the dishes be ready?”

This time, it was the two teachers’ faces that turned green.

Qi Hengxing kept staring with great interest at the Omega whose back was facing her. She really wanted to see what the gentle knife actually looked like.

But the woman never turned around.

“They’ll be ready right away. I’ll bring them over now.” The cafeteria worker placed the two dishes down and turned to leave.

After the vice principal sat down again, Qi Hengxing caught sight of the three teachers at the next table silently carrying their lunch trays and fleeing as quickly as if they were escaping.

Most likely, they had gone to find another seat.

A baseless sense of disappointment suddenly rose in Qi Hengxing’s heart, making her secretly sulky.

Once all the dishes were served, the vice principal heard Qi Hengxing say lazily, “I have a general understanding of the situation now. After all, it was my alma mater that cultivated me before, allowing me to achieve what I have today. Now that my alma mater happens to need me, it’s only right that I give back. Regarding the donation, Vice Principal, you can continue coordinating with my assistant later.”

The moment the vice principal heard this, Qi Hengxing had finally given him a clear answer. His face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, “When the new campus of No. 1 High is completed, President Qi, please be sure to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.”

Come again?

Chengcheng, who had been pretending to be mute for half the day, raised an eyebrow. What Qi Hengxing hated most were these kinds of purely ceremonial ribbon-cutting events where she had to stand around like a prop. Chengcheng was waiting for Qi Hengxing to flatly refuse the vice principal’s invitation so they could finally start lunch.

Unexpectedly, Qi Hengxing simply said, “Oh. Sure.”

Wait—what did Qi Hengxing just say?

Chengcheng abruptly raised her head and looked at Qi Hengxing in disbelief, unable to understand what she was thinking now.

What she did not know was that Qi Hengxing was calculating inwardly.

Qingzhi. She seemed to have heard the teachers next to them call her Qingzhi just now. She wondered which characters her name used.

If she could attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new campus, perhaps she would have a chance then to see the true face of this gentle knife?

—

The three teachers who had carried their trays and changed seats all looked miserable.

The young teacher poked at the rice on her tray with a lifeless expression and collapsed. “…My luck is just too terrible, isn’t it? It’s bad enough that my feelings were toyed with by a scummy Alpha, but just now, I didn’t even notice the vice principal was sitting right next to us. He definitely heard everything I said!”

“I wonder if it’s too late for me to resign tomorrow.”

Thinking of the scene just now, the older teacher also felt a little embarrassed, but still forced herself to comfort her. “It’s not that serious, not that serious. We were just discussing relationship issues just now. It’s not like we were saying bad things about the leadership. Besides, there were potted plants blocking the way. Although we didn’t see the leader, the leader didn’t see us either.”

“He only heard us talking. He may not necessarily know who we are.”

The young teacher forced herself to rally and tried to distract herself. “That’s true. Oh right, what guest was the vice principal eating with? Why didn’t they go find a hotel outside, and instead came to our faculty cafeteria?”

Xu Qingzhi shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

The older teacher knew a little bit of information and guessed, “I think he’s probably trying to secure sponsorship. Wasn’t there always a rumor that we were supposed to move to the new campus last year? But up to now, we still haven’t moved. It seems that while the new campus was being built, it exceeded the original planned scale. The budget was spent, but several buildings still haven’t been completed. The vice principal is probably discussing that matter with someone.”

“Moving to the new campus?” The young teacher was a little surprised. “Then what will happen to our old campus?”

“It seems the old campus will immediately be transferred to the junior high school. Otherwise, the vice principal wouldn’t be this anxious. Later, the sign at the school gate will probably change from Huai Kang City No. 1 High School to Huai Kang City Experimental Middle School. Didn’t the new laboratory building just get completed? That was actually paid for by Experimental Middle School. It has nothing to do with us.”

“So that’s how it is.”

For a moment, the three of them stopped talking.

When they were almost finished with lunch, Xu Qingzhi picked up her tray and was about to stand when the young teacher suddenly called out to her. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke.

“Sister Qingzhi, thank you for what you said to me just now. I was the one being stubborn.”

She sighed wistfully.

“I should have understood this long ago. Whether someone truly loves me or not can easily be seen from their eyes. There’s no need for me to guess over and over again.”
