Foolishly Flirting with the White Moonlight Leads to Being Marked - Chapter 17

Yan Qingqiu jogged upstairs.

Song Qingre stayed in the car for a long while. Her hand gripped the buckle beneath the seat and lowered the car seat. The scent inside the car had become very faint, yet it was like a tiny flame leaping up and lighting a long fuse, leaving her body in a restless state.

A moment later, she got out of the car and greeted the butler. “Uncle Dong.”

The butler nodded and spoke to her. Song Qingre then said, “Right… about the doctor I asked you to make an appointment with last time, how is that arranged?”

“It’s already arranged. When the time comes, we’ll take you both directly to the hospital. They’re all famous experts from both inside and outside the country.”

Song Qingre said, “Is there a gland specialist? My gland has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. Could you give me a phone number first? I’d like to ask about the situation.”

“Of course.” The butler said, “I’ll send you the email later. If your gland is uncomfortable, that’s a major matter. It really should be checked properly.”

Song Qingre thanked him.

The butler lowered his voice and asked, “Your relationship with Miss has gotten better, hasn’t it? You two looked quite happy just now.”

Song Qingre said, “It’s all right.”

The butler smiled and nodded repeatedly. “Then it really should be checked properly. After all, you’re both Alphas.”

Song Qingre paused slightly, then casually pressed her lips together and smiled softly. “Don’t tell her about this for now. Her personality is proud and tsundere, and she’s also very thin-skinned.”

“I know.” The butler added, “Even if I know, I’ll pretend I don’t.”

The two exchanged a few words with hidden meaning. Song Qingre entered the house and went to the second floor. She reached out and gripped the door handle. The bedroom door had been locked tightly from the inside.

Song Qingre returned to her room and went to the bathroom to shower. She leaned against the wall, letting the coolness from above lessen the heat on her body. She lowered her eyes and pondered.

Last time, when she helped Yan Qingqiu soothe herself, she had not smelled any pheromone scent. In fact, after Yan Qingqiu differentiated into an A, she had never smelled Yan Qingqiu’s pheromones. It was normal for two Alphas not to smell each other.

But that faint trace just now had been Omega pheromone.

The previous few times, she… had also induced her.

The two of them had eaten outside. After returning to their rooms, they did not come out again. Song Qingre did come out a few times. She tried the lock on the door next door, but Yan Qingqiu had kept it locked from the inside the whole time. She did not know what Yan Qingqiu was doing in there.

Yan Qingqiu had no other choice either. During the day, she was fine, but at night, she could not handle it. She always felt lonely and restless, and from time to time, she had to run to the bathroom.

At nine in the evening.

Song Qingre sat in front of her computer, looking at the email the butler had sent her.

Her fingers fell on the keyboard and typed.

·

When Yan Qingqiu woke up in the morning, her mood was listless.

She held her phone and searched things, reporting her situation to the doctor.

The doctor replied very cautiously: [You have entered the second stage. Your gland has already begun growing and secreting pheromones. Bodily fluids will become tainted with Omega pheromones… But this is also good news. As long as the method is suitable, the symptoms can gradually be relieved.]

Yan Qingqiu’s face instantly turned red. She ran downstairs and sat in the living room for a while. Yan Qingqiu touched her neck and felt even more uncomfortable. The protruding place at the back of her neck seemed to have grown a little larger. She looked at the doctor’s message again.

She touched her gland twice, then lifted her head and saw Song Qingre on the stairs.

Who knew how long this woman had been standing there? Wearing a black dress and standing in the shadows, it was hard to tell there was a person there. Song Qingre walked downstairs, lifted her chin slightly, and asked, “What’s wrong with your neck?”

Damn it. She had been so frightened that she had forgotten to pull her hand back.

Yan Qingqiu moved her fingers upward by an inch and calmly scratched the back of her head. “Oh no, I’m about to grow a brain.”

Song Qingre laughed softly. “Qiuqiu, you’re very interesting.”

Scared her to death.

Yan Qingqiu went to the courtyard and walked around to get some air. She only returned to eat once she felt completely comfortable.

Song Qingre cut the food on the table, her movements elegant. She asked, “Qiuqiu, what do you plan to do today?”

Yan Qingqiu’s original plan was to go find Su Xingjie, but she had given her sister too great a shock yesterday, so meeting her now was not suitable. She had just been about to say she would stay at home like a shut-in when the doorbell rang. Outside was a delivery guy on an electric bike. Two bouquets were loaded on the back seat. He said, “Is this the Yan residence? Flowers for Miss Yan.”

“Xingxing really is too thoughtful.”

Yan Qingqiu got up and went outside to sign for them. She had just written the first two characters of her name when she felt something was wrong. She took out the card inside and asked, “Who sent this?”

“A gentleman ordered them.”

Yan Qingqiu pushed the flowers away. “I don’t want them. Take them away.”

“But the other party said they had to be delivered…”

“I don’t want them. I just don’t want them!” Yan Qingqiu clapped her hands as if they were dirty. “Why is he so annoying? He’s so cheap. When they were offered to him, he didn’t want them. Now he’s gone crazy and keeps harassing me?”

Yan Qingqiu had seen too many people like Fu Ye. He deliberately called and sent flowers to keep her hanging, but he would not take the initiative to meet her. If asked, he would say he did not dare to meet her, but in reality, he was making her take the initiative again and become a moth rushing into the flame. The previous “her” had been stupid, but now her brain had already grown out.

Yan Qingqiu said to the butler beside her, “If he sends flowers again in the future, stomp them rotten right in front of him.”

Song Qingre came out from the living room and watched as the delivery guy took the card out from inside. She read, “tu es la lumière de ma vie.”

“You are the light of my life?” Song Qingre directly tore the card apart. “Last time, he also wrote to me: est-ce que je peux voir ton ombre aujourd’hui?”

“What does that mean?”

Song Qingre dropped the torn pieces from her fingertips and said without changing expression, “Can I love you tonight?”

The butler beside them pressed his lips together, wanting to speak but holding back.

“He’s so disgusting.” Yan Qingqiu’s brows furrowed tightly. She understood the implied meaning.

“I just received a payment of three million. I can pay you back five hundred thousand. Do you want to come to the company with me?” Song Qingre was dressed formally, looking like she was about to go to work. Yan Qingqiu had just wanted to refuse when Song Qingre said, “What if he comes looking for you? He once chased me all the way overseas.”

Yan Qingqiu felt that made sense.

Song Qingre took the car keys. Seeing the butler nod slightly, she protected Yan Qingqiu with her hand and brought her into the car.

After getting in, Song Qingre gave her a box. It was a perfume bottle.

Yan Qingqiu was puzzled. Why was everyone giving her gifts today? She sprayed a little on her wrist, but only smelled the perfume she had used that morning. She asked, “Why doesn’t it have a scent?”

Song Qingre frowned. “That shouldn’t be. This is an Alpha soothing agent. Usually, Alphas can smell it.”

Yan Qingqiu’s heart jolted. She lifted her wrist and sniffed again. Still no scent. She said seriously, “It smells so good that it made my sense of smell stop working.”

“It shouldn’t smell that good either. Let me see. I remember…” Song Qingre took the bottle, sprayed it, and said, “Ah, I took the wrong one. This one was just filled with tap water.”

Yan Qingqiu: “…”

Was she sick?

“You put tap water in such a pretty perfume bottle? Are you that poor?”

Song Qingre said, “Not really. This was originally a spray bottle. I’m an artist, so of course I have to design a few more artistic bottles. The weather has been hot and stuffy these days, so I kept spray bottles in the car.”

As she spoke, she opened the drawer again and took out an unopened perfume. Yan Qingqiu cautiously smelled it first. This time, there was a fragrance. She glanced at Song Qingre, then looked at the ingredients inside. She still could not understand anything.

Her current identity was that of an Alpha. What if she could not smell things used by Alphas? In the future, no matter who gave her something, she had to be careful.

“What? You don’t like it?” Song Qingre asked.

“I’m just calculating how much it costs…” Yan Qingqiu began estimating the price. It really smelled very good. She smelled it several times and felt her body become comfortable.

“It’s for you.”

“I have to pay. How much did you buy it for? Deduct it directly.” Yan Qingqiu calculated the debt with her very seriously.

“Give whatever you think it’s worth.”

Yan Qingqiu estimated in her heart. “…Three thousand!”

Song Qingre nodded.

Yan Qingqiu suddenly thought of a way for Song Qingre to repay the money quickly. Once she went to Song Qingre’s office, she could specifically take the things that looked expensive. Wouldn’t the debt be cleared then?

Song Qingre started the car. Yan Qingqiu took out a palm-sized little booklet from her pocket. Song Qingre slowed down. “Write later. Don’t poke your eye.”

Yan Qingqiu seriously recorded the debt: [Paid back 200,000. September 3. One bottle of perfume, 3,000.]

After she finished writing, Song Qingre commented, “Yesterday’s 200,000 wasn’t fully paid back, right? The painting and kisses are still owed.”

Yan Qingqiu continued writing. “Then count it as something you owe. Right, there are some things that still need to be made clear. You drive first. I’ll talk once we arrive.”

Song Qingre nodded.

All the lights on the road were green, and it took half an hour to reach the company.

When they arrived, Song Qingre brought her upstairs. “Should I close the door?”

“Close it. Close it tightly. It wouldn’t be good if others heard.” Yan Qingqiu waited until Song Qingre closed the door firmly, then went over and tested it herself, afraid someone might accidentally open it. She began looking around the office for any treasures. After observing for a long time, she directly sat in the boss’s chair and said, “…From now on, when we’re outside, you can’t mention the relationship between the two of us.” If others knew, the one who would lose face was her. If others mistakenly thought she was the one being kept, that would be even worse.

“And!”

Song Qingre was very seriously taking notes. “Go on.”

“If we’re discovered, you can’t say it like yesterday. You have to say it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I’m just in an agreement relationship with you. Your funds had problems, and I kindly helped you make up for it. You also can’t say things like mistress. You have to say it’s a proper cooperation.”

Yan Qingqiu’s eyes were full of calculation. Her long legs were crossed. The office had quite a few decorations. All in all, they should be worth around one hundred, they should be worth around one hundred thousand.

Song Qingre noticed her small movements and leaned against the office desk. “Continue.”

Still continue?

Yan Qingqiu looked at her calm appearance and suddenly grew angry. Song Qingre seemed to be saying, “Keep talking. I’ll still dare to do it next time.” There was no sincerity at all.

“Can you look at me and be serious?”

Suddenly, Song Qingre leaned forward and moved closer, staring at her seriously. There was only a sliver of distance between them. “Am I serious enough?”

Yan Qingqiu quickly reached out to block her lips.

Song Qingre parted her lips and brushed against Yan Qingqiu’s fingers. Her fingers went itchy and numb. Yan Qingqiu wanted to scream. The most fatal thing was that her bones were about to go soft.

Song Qingre did not argue. Her deep-pool-like eyes were gentle. “I’ll listen to you.”

Thinking about it, Yan Qingqiu still felt so embarrassed.

Song Qingre leaned closer, shortening the distance between them.

Yan Qingqiu wanted to bite her.

“If you bite off my finger, I won’t be able to paint anymore.”

Song Qingre saw through her, looking at her with a smile. She asked, “How much was that just now?”

“One yuan!” Yan Qingqiu grabbed the armrest and retreated backward, but Song Qingre quickly pulled her back with sharp eyes and quick hands. Song Qingre’s gaze drifted behind her.

“One thousand yuan… It can’t be any more.”

Yan Qingqiu’s tongue almost tied itself in knots, and she could not even speak smoothly.

Yan Qingqiu knew what Song Qingre was looking at. All she could think about was what the doctor had said before: Omegas undergoing secondary differentiation would gradually grow a gland.

Clearly, Song Qingre was only staring at her neck, but Yan Qingqiu felt terribly uncomfortable, as if the throat of her fate had been seized.

It was over. What if she secreted pheromones, and then Song Qingre discovered her secret of secondary differentiation? She did not dare imagine it!

“Eh… what’s going on?” Song Qingre asked softly, sounding very puzzled. “Qiuqiu’s Alpha gland on the back of her neck… why has it become so strange?”

Yan Qingqiu raised her head and looked at Song Qingre, her thin lips moving slightly.

No. She was about to be unable to hold back from releasing pheromones…
