An Inner Life of a Cold Beauty Omega Secretary - Chapter 15

Fang Ran had not only agreed to the date with Mu Zheng, but she had also brazenly brought her cheating partner along to the same hotel!!!

Ye Baiwei’s worldview at this moment felt like a renovated stone wall being repainted layer after layer. This kind of scandalous plot was something she had only ever seen in melodramatic TV dramas and novels…

Wait.

Isn’t she currently the protagonist of a melodramatic novel?!

Alright, never mind then. In a “dog-blood” melodrama, this kind of plot is perfectly normal. Otherwise, why would it be called a “dog-blood” novel?

Ye Baiwei’s shocked heart instantly returned to a steady rhythm. She wanted to look up and see the face of Fang Ran’s cheating partner clearly—back on the road, she had only caught a glimpse of a profile. Unfortunately, the other person opened the door very quickly and retreated into the room in under a minute. Ye Baiwei only caught sight of the flowing wavy curls left behind.

It seemed they were worried about running into acquaintances and didn’t want to linger outside for long.

Ye Baiwei let out a disdainful “Tsk,” feeling that encountering such people was somewhat unlucky. She even pulled some alcohol out of her backpack to disinfect herself before using her key card to enter her room.

Mu Zheng must have booked the best room in this hotel for her. It had a vast view; standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, one could overlook the entire amusement park, clearly seeing every ride route and every food stall. it was the ultimate vantage point.

This kind of room is usually hard to book, often requiring a reservation several days in advance, and it’s not something you can get just by throwing money around—if you have money, others might have more. Therefore, Mu Zheng must have gone through a lot of trouble with the staff to get this key card for her.

How could such a capable woman end up with such a scummy partner!

Actually… how does a scummy woman like that even have a girlfriend?!

Ye Baiwei felt quite annoyed, especially when she thought about Mu Zheng being out on a date with that trash today; the irritation in her heart intensified.

But there was nothing to be done. She and Mu Zheng were just boss and subordinate. No matter how annoyed she felt, it was Mu Zheng’s private matter and had nothing to do with her.

Ye Baiwei gathered her emotions and checked her phone. It was still early, with several hours until dark. Staying in the room would be too boring, and with another full day tomorrow, she couldn’t just stay cooped up.

Thinking this, Ye Baiwei opened the amusement park’s official mini-app to see if there were any rides suitable for her to kill some time.

However, being alone was a bit lonely. Most people at an amusement park were there as families, with friends, or—most commonly—as couples. As a “single dog,” she would look incredibly pitiful sandwiched between them.

Ye Baiwei let out a long sigh and went back to her phone. After scrolling through the app, she finally chose the carousel.

The price wasn’t bad: 25 yuan for one round, or 118 yuan for a one-hour time limit—but you couldn’t leave in the middle, or you’d forfeit the ticket. Ye Baiwei thought this was fine and bought a ticket for five o’clock. She could ride the carousel for an hour and then come back for dinner.

Thus, after staying in the room for over an hour, Ye Baiwei put on her sunglasses and headed out.

The amusement park was still crowded in the afternoon, though not as packed as the morning. Because of the holiday, there were still many people at the attractions, leaving virtually no downtime.

The only reason Ye Baiwei could get a ticket on the app was that not many people were riding the carousel, and most of those were children. For adults, 25 yuan for one round felt like a waste; they’d rather pay a bit more for a more thrilling ride.

Of course, for couples, it’s a different story. Riding the carousel while whispering sweet nothings—”You are the wind, I am the sand, together until the end of the world”—how romantic.

Unlike her, who had to sit alone.

And sit there for a lonely hour!

Suddenly, Ye Baiwei heard people behind her discussing her. She immediately pricked up her ears. It seemed to be the child lined up behind her.

“Mommy, that auntie is so weird. Why is she riding the carousel too? She’s a big adult, but she’s stealing toys from little kids!”

Ye Baiwei, who was about to have her ticket checked, nearly coughed up blood internally.

Just as she was about to roast the kid in her mind—What’s wrong with a big adult like me riding the carousel? This park isn’t owned by your family!—she heard the mother say: “How can you be so rude? Who says only children can ride the carousel? This is an amusement park; both kids and adults can play. Do you remember?”

“Oh, I remember, Mommy.”

Ye Baiwei silently gave the mother a thumbs-up. She thought that was the end of it, but as she walked in, she heard the brat again: “But Mommy, everyone else is in pairs. Why is that auntie all alone?”

“Um… Mommy doesn’t know either.”

“I know, Mommy! She’s a single dog!”

Pfft—

Ye Baiwei didn’t expect the final blow to be the one that truly pierced the heart.

But children speak without filter, so Ye Baiwei let it go. As an adult, she couldn’t pick a fight with a kid over a few stinging words, or she’d never be able to show her face again.

To avoid further heartbreak, Ye Baiwei hurried inside after the ticket check.

There were only two seats left, while the rest were filled. Ye Baiwei felt there was nothing to be picky about and was going to sit on one of them when she felt someone poke her back.

When Ye Baiwei turned around, she wanted to start cursing on the spot.

Because the person behind her was none other than Mu Zheng’s girlfriend—Fang Ran.

Wait.

Should she just not have left the house today? Why was she running into the little cheating bitch, followed by the big cheating bitch who was “knowingly being a third party” to someone else’s partner!

Ye Baiwei really wanted to take off her sunglasses and roll her eyes at Fang Ran, but doing so in public would be impolite and would severely damage her current image as a female CEO. Although that image had likely already been ruined by the original character, she still had to try and save it, so she held back.

“Um, sorry, I saw this seat first. Miss, you might need to go sit in the other one,” Fang Ran spoke first.

Ye Baiwei’s head was full of question marks. She wanted to tell her to go to the hospital if she had a brain illness—if she went too late, she might grow a second brain. No one with even a shred of sense would say something so brainless; even a three-year-old knows about “first come, first served.”

Could she be relying on the fact that she’s a “vulnerable Omega” in this book, thinking that any Alpha should yield to her and pamper her?

In fact, Ye Baiwei was right. That was exactly what Fang Ran thought.

[An Alpha actually fighting an Omega for a seat, how shameless!]

Huh?

She was shameless?

Who exactly was being shameless here?!

Ye Baiwei reached her limit. It was fine for others to roast her in their heads—at least they usually had a point—but for this person to be so self-righteously irrational in front of so many people? This was a first for Ye Baiwei!

It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

“Miss? Am I older than you? Don’t just go calling people that, otherwise, it’ll be awkward when we find out who should be calling whom ‘Sister’.”

Ye Baiwei remembered that Fang Ran’s ID showed she was several years older than Mu Zheng, which made this woman even more terrifying. She immediately tried to frame herself as the younger one. That way, if an incident occurred, everyone would assume the “older Alpha” was bullying a “younger Omega” and would instinctively take Fang Ran’s side.

Furthermore, even if everyone knew the truth, they would just think Fang Ran was young and naive, finding her willfulness understandable. They wouldn’t think twice and might even tell her, the “older Alpha,” not to be so petty, allowing this shameless person to be forgiven so easily.

But Fang Ran had picked the wrong person to mess with. Ye Baiwei wasn’t falling for it. If it were the original Ye Baiwei, she’d likely say something even more vicious out of anger.

Hearing Ye Baiwei say this, Fang Ran’s face faltered. She didn’t know the other’s age, so the address was indeed a bit rude, but she hadn’t expected this reaction. Shouldn’t a normal person be enraged and start scolding her?

Why was this different from what she expected?

Seeing this, Fang Ran changed tactics, putting on a pitiful act. “S-sorry, I really didn’t know how to address you, and you’re wearing sunglasses, so I instinctively assumed you were older than me. I’m really sorry.”

Ye Baiwei sneered. “Does wearing sunglasses represent being old? I say, Ma’am, if your eyes are failing you, I suggest you go to the hospital and see a doctor before you regret it.”

“What do you mean by that?!” Fang Ran’s face darkened instantly after the sarcasm.

Ye Baiwei leaned close to her ear and whispered, “It means: are. you. blind?”

Fang Ran was fuming, but seeing so many people around, she couldn’t explode. She could only swallow her anger. “I apologized for the address, but I saw this seat first. Please move, I need to get on.”

Ye Baiwei thought to herself, Good lord. Being this self-righteously shameless—Fang Ran must do this often.

Unfortunately for her, the person she ran into was Ye Baiwei.
