Chapter 1

One o’clock in the morning, thirteenth floor of Qijiang Hotel.

This entire floor, including the banquet hall upstairs, had been booked out by the crew of The Tyrant CEO Alpha’s Pregnant Runaway Little Wife. At the moment, they were filming the only truly important highlight scene in the whole drama.

The tyrant CEO alpha and the female lead omega attend a cocktail party. The female lead omega is drugged, and in her desperation, she seeks out the tyrant CEO alpha. After several rounds of intimacy, the tyrant CEO finally discovers that the female lead omega is the sweetheart he had lost several years ago.

The cocktail party scenes had already been filmed. What remained was the scene in the room where the two recognized each other.

By then, the female lead omega was no longer the soft, delicate little girl from back then.

He was working under the tyrant CEO’s rival, and the drugging was also part of the other party’s scheme. They wanted to use the chance to obtain the female lead.

After the two recognized each other, the rival would barge into the room and threaten the female lead omega with the video from earlier, using it to force her to be with her.

She was a sinister and cunning female alpha.

But the recognition scene between the two leads kept failing to pass. Pei Suyuan, who played the female alpha, had been waiting outside ever since she finished filming the cocktail party scene.

At this moment, her eyes were misty with tears, and she had already yawned seven or eight times.

The second female lead she played in this small web drama could be called the biggest villain in the whole show. Apart from the male and female leads, she had the most scenes.

But the character herself was practically no different from cannon fodder.

Her greatest significance was to push the two leads into recognizing each other, then help them live a sweet life together.

In the end, her crimes would even be exposed by the male and female leads joining hands, and she would die in a car accident while fleeing.

All to add excitement to the love between the male and female leads.

Pei Suyuan had long since memorized the script backward and forward.

Even that sickeningly sweet line from the tyrant CEO alpha:

“Sui Sui, all these years, the only person who has lived in my heart is you. There has never been anyone else.”

Pei Suyuan could say it even more sickeningly, even more lovingly, than the male lead.

But Qin Dong, the rookie actor forced in by the ​stolen content​investor, simply could not act it well no matter what.

Either his face was wooden and emotionless, or he stumbled over his lines. In short, it was an absolute mess.

Pei Suyuan had no idea how much longer she still had to wait.

Having only one scene in an entire day was not exactly common, and it truly was hard to endure.

But for the sake of making a living, she had to hang in there.

After roughly another half hour passed, Pei Suyuan’s sleepiness had worn off. The male lead’s lines had become a little smoother, but the female lead could not cry no matter what.

Bored out of her mind, her attention was drawn to the idle chatter between Qin Dong’s assistant and a crew member.

“Did you know? The people from the Diverging Road crew are holding their wrap party right above us.” The speaker sounded rather excited. Pei Suyuan glanced over and saw that it was one of the crew members.

Qin Dong’s assistant was no less excited than she was, her voice bright and loud. “Really? New Road is really holding its wrap party here?”

Qijiang Hotel was very close to the film studio, and it belonged to the studio as well. Aside from being open to outside guests, it was mostly rented out to various production crews. After hearing a little, Pei Suyuan roughly guessed that the crew of New Road had been filming here and was simply holding its celebration banquet here too.

Just as Pei Suyuan finished guessing unauthorized copythe reason, she indeed heard the crew member say exactly the same thing.

Qin Dong’s assistant was a female beta. She was quite young, with a bob haircut. Her eyes shone as she grabbed the crew member’s hand and shook it back and forth. “Doesn’t that mean the person above me is Wei Jinzhi?”

“I’m right below her!!”

Pei Suyuan did not know whether Qin Dong’s assistant had said that on purpose.

No matter how one heard it, those words sounded improper.

Yet that crew member did not think so. In fact, her thoughts were more or less the same as Qin Dong’s assistant’s.

However, she let go of her hand, her tone sour. “Not at all. I’m the one below Jinzhi, okay? Ahhh.” She gave a few quiet squeals, and actually blushed.

Then she whispered to Qin Dong’s assistant, “An alpha like Jinzhi, so Alpha and so swoon-worthy, absolutely has to be with an omega!”

The crew member herself was a female omega, and the way she said this clearly made Qin Dong’s assistant angry.

Pei Suyuan had been in this crew for more than a month. When she first arrived, these two had already been getting along very well.

Pei Suyuan did not like talking, but she liked listening to gossip. After listening, she would not discuss it ​bailiantales.com​with others either, so listening to the two of them chirp away every day had become one of her pleasures.

This was the first time she had seen the two of them quarrel.

And it was because of Wei Jinzhi.

Pei Suyuan laughed inwardly, but she also had to admit that Wei Jinzhi’s charm was simply too great.

In terms of achievements, Wei Jinzhi had won the Tianchi Award for Best Actress as soon as she debuted.

Although she had been acting for over ten years since her debut, she had only just turned thirty now. She had won quite a few awards both domestically and internationally, and was a genuine acting powerhouse.

As for her looks, her features did not have the heroic sharpness of an ordinary female alpha. Her peach blossom eyes shimmered beautifully, carrying a hazy, half-drunk quality that made people feel she was unbearably affectionate.

Together with her pair of sword-like brows, the effect was perfectly balanced.

There were plenty of heroic, dashing female alphas in the industry, but there were too few like Wei Jinzhi, who had a touch more allure than an alpha and a touch less softness than an omega. Not only were fans bewitched by her, even passersby who saw her had to comment on how good-looking she was.

The only thing people could criticize was her height.

The average height of female alphas was 1.713 meters. Wei Jinzhi’s height had only just passed 1.7 meters, so the few antis she had bailiantales.comall clung to her height and made a fuss over it.

One or two centimeters really counted for nothing. Pei Suyuan herself was 1.74 meters, surpassing the average height for female alphas, but she had never seen anyone especially like her because of it.

It was simply nitpicking, making something out of nothing.

Moreover, Wei Jinzhi also had high seniority in the entertainment industry. It was said that for her special appearance in New Road this time, even the director Lian Bin had to call Wei Jinzhi Sister.

Back then, Lian Bin’s teacher, Hong Xunqi, had brought Wei Jinzhi into the industry. After she won Best Actress at the Tianchi Awards that year, he accepted Wei Jinzhi as his disciple. Lian Bin entered Hong Xunqi’s tutelage after her.

And the reason Wei Jinzhi could make a special starring appearance this time was also said to be out of respect for Elder Hong.

Elder Hong held a pivotal position in the entertainment industry and had excellent connections. Besides, this film was his first collaboration with Wei Jinzhi after fourteen years, so Wei Jinzhi had no real reason to refuse.

Still, it was hard to say what was true and what was false. After all, Pei Suyuan had only learned all this while surfing the internet.

But ever since New Road officially announced its cast and Wei Jinzhi’s name appeared among them, the film had been receiving constant attention.

Wei Jinzhi played the person the female lead secretly loved during her youth, who was also her teacher. That ignorant yet misplaced affection influenced the female lead’s entire life.

Both films were alpha-alpha romances, and many of Wei Jinzhi’s fans were not especially willing for her to film them. But after the stills were released, Wei Jinzhi, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, languid and charming, still made stolen content the fans howl. One after another, they compared it to Diverging Road from back then.

But no matter how they compared them, the two were not alike. Diverging Road was a film from fourteen years ago. At that time, Wei Jinzhi was still a young girl: flamboyant and unrestrained, domineering and deeply affectionate, alluring without realizing it.

At the same time, she also carried a pure, innocent resilience.

Zhou Yan, the female alpha who starred opposite her back then, was even jokingly said to have never been able to walk out of the role, remaining immersed in the lingering, taboo love she shared with Wei Jinzhi in the film.

Back then, both of them had been newcomers. Wei Jinzhi’s career started high and continued rising, while Zhou Yan fell silent for several years before disappearing from the public eye.

Precisely because of this, the rumor grew more and more intense. For a while, even Pei Suyuan believed it.

After all, Wei Jinzhi in the film was far too captivating. Little fangirls loved exactly Wei Jinzhi’s kind of style. Pei Suyuan herself had also been very obsessed, and had even been teased by her friend.

Her friend asked if she perhaps liked alphas.

Pei Suyuan stayed silent. Only after a long while did she reply, “I don’t know either.”

……

At two-thirty in the morning, even the late-summer night carried a bit of chill. Pei Suyuan left the hotel wearing a thin jacket.

By two in the morning, the scene between the male and female leads still had not passed. In the end, the female lead, Jiang Yin, simply threw down the work and quit.

After arguing with Qin Dong for a few lines, they parted on bad terms.

Still, it could be considered a blessing in disguise. The director announced a few days off, telling both of them to adjust their states.

Pei Suyuan was so washed-up that she did not have much of a schedule, so she was not afraid of being delayed at all.

It was just right. She could rest for two days.

She walked to the parking lot, got into her secondhand little Polo, and drove home.

The film studio was in the suburbs. Rushing back to Xijing would take more than an hour. If it were not for the break, she would not have been willing to waste gas money going back and forth.

Pei Suyuan had come from a girl group, and had been part of the hottest talent show variety program back then.

When she debuted, she could also be considered wildly popular for a time. However, Pei Suyuan spoke very little, and she had a world-weary face that had not been softened by the team’s styling. She was often cursed for having a stinking expression, and her popularity in the group had always been at the bottom.

If there was anything read the original at bailiantales.com she was most famous for, it would be the same-sex scandal after the group disbanded.

Nowadays, AA relationships were very normal. They could even get a certificate and marry. But two or three years ago, it was still something people could talk about with great interest.

When they were still in the group, that member’s popularity was not especially high either. Pei Suyuan had debuted in seventh place, while that person was fifth.

Their stage positions had always been next to each other. Over time, their interactions increased, and they could be considered a famous CP within the group.

But the reason shipping a CP was called shipping was because the ambiguous mix of truth and falsehood was the most exciting part. If the CP actually became real, then a lot of the fun would be lost.

Especially after that member exposed that Pei Suyuan had pestered her multiple times. In an instant, the CP fans switched sides, and only a small portion of people still supported Pei Suyuan.

After the group disbanded, even the more popular members inevitably started going downhill. After that incident, Pei Suyuan, who had not had much popularity to begin with, could be considered to have fallen completely to rock bottom.

To this day, she could only drift around acting as supporting characters in various small web dramas.

The current one was already considered good. She had quite a lot of scenes, and the pay was also decent.

But Pei Suyuan was still very short on money.

Although she was washed-up, daily clothes and bailiantales.comstyling still cost money. Pei Suyuan liked writing songs, but she was unwilling to sell off her own painstaking work. She still had to rely on this money to maintain herself.

Aside from using the money she had earned in the group back then to buy a small one-bedroom apartment and her current car, she had hardly seen most of the rest of her money.

……

The car stopped at the entrance of the residential compound. She swiped her card and entered.

This compound had excellent privacy, and quite a few celebrities lived here. However, the housing prices were also ridiculously high.

Pei Suyuan had hesitated for a long time before buying a place here. In the end, she still felt safety was more important. After all, she had no small number of antis.

After staking everything on buying it, she could only pair it with a secondhand car.

After parking, Pei Suyuan opened the trunk and took out her luggage.

Then she walked forward, softly humming a song as she headed toward the entrance of her building.

Her parking space was a little far from the building entrance. It took about five minutes to walk there. But just as she was only one turn away from arriving, Pei Suyuan suddenly heard a soft, delicate sound.

It sounded like a cat’s cry, yet carried a hint of sobbing.

It was already deep into the night. The greenery in the residential compound was lush, and when the night breeze blew through it, the rustling sound made one’s scalp prickle.

Pei Suyuan swallowed, lightened her steps, and slowly followed the sound over.

But after only a few steps, she felt that something was not quite right.

The source of the cry seemed to be right at the entrance of her own building.

In any case, she was going home to rest. Even if there really was something there, she still had to go back.

Once she thought of it that way, Pei Suyuan suddenly became braver. With a long stride, she quickly walked inside.

Beep…

The instant the access control door opened, aside from the beep, Pei Suyuan also heard a voice so alluring it seeped into her bones, along with a sweet scent drifting through the air.

That sweetness was not cloying. It was even sweet enough to reach the depths of the heart, making one’s pulse stir.

The stronger the scent grew, the more clearly Pei Suyuan could recognize it.

This was an omega’s pheromones.

Sweet and pure, making one yearn for it from the heart.

Pei Suyuan put down her luggage and stumbled toward the source.

Beneath the dim streetlamp, the female omega’s slightly curled hair covered half her face. She wore a black V-neck gown, and the fullness beneath it rose and fell with her breathing.

Her soft, seductive voice further stimulated Pei Suyuan’s nerves. Pei Suyuan forced herself to sober up a little. Her hand reached toward the back of her neck and pressed down hard, afraid that the inhibitor patch she had worn all day would completely lose its effect. Then she took a general inhibitor from her backpack, held down the woman’s arm, and tried to inject it into her.

But the woman before her was clearly not in her right mind. The moment Pei Suyuan held her down, she twisted restlessly.

The sweet fragrance grew even stronger. Pei Suyuan could no longer care about giving the person in front of her an inhibitor; she could only take care of herself first.

An alpha facing an omega who was releasing pheromones—and might even have already entered heat—Pei Suyuan could only make sure she stayed rational first.

Once she cleared her head, she held the woman down again and took out a new inhibitor. Before injecting it, she steadied the woman and said softly, “Don’t move.”

But as soon as she said it, even she froze in place.

Her voice was lower and hoarser than usual, and the breath she exhaled was unusually scorching.

The woman half-lying on the ground took advantage of the moment she froze and stretched out her pale, lotus-white arms, wrapping them around Pei Suyuan’s neck.

Their breaths tangled. The sweet fragrance slipped into Pei Suyuan’s nose, blurring her vision and intoxicating her heart.

Her fingers hovered lightly over the woman’s slender waist, and the woman also took the opportunity to bury her face in the hollow of Pei Suyuan’s neck.

Pei Suyuan could not see clearly, but she could imagine just how tempting it was.

Only when a wet, soft sensation came did Pei Suyuan shudder all over and try to push the woman away.

The woman seemed to sense her intention and pressed even closer.

“Mmph… help me…”

That sweetly seductive voice entered her ear. Then Pei Suyuan felt a patch of damp softness against her neck.

The tip of a tongue touched her lightly, again and again. Pei Suyuan’s painstakingly restrained will collapsed with a crash. Her [unauthorized copy]alpha instincts made her grip the woman’s slim waist tightly, wanting to claim her completely.

Pei Suyuan’s gaze gradually grew unfocused and intoxicated. In her heart, she cried out the name she had held there for so many years.

Then she murmured softly, “It’s Moon Sister…”

Her voice was extremely quiet. The woman did not hear it clearly, and only thought she was calling her Sister. She tightened her arms around Pei Suyuan’s neck even more, kissed the area behind her ear, and said in a damp, sticky voice, “Help Sister, okay?”
