Foolishly Flirting with the White Moonlight Leads to Being Marked - Chapter 19.1

Yan Qingqiu was walking down the stairs. Hearing Song Qingre’s words, her foot almost slipped and sent her rolling straight down.

She grabbed the railing and looked at Song Qingre in disbelief.

What?

What did she say?

Song Qingre was still cooking the snow pear water, and the fragrance grew stronger and stronger. Yan Qingqiu’s throat was already dry and hoarse, and when she smelled it, her throat itched uncontrollably.

She pulled back the leg that had almost stepped into empty air. Her pink slippers lightly rubbed against the edge of the step. She wanted to use her brain to quickly decipher the situation and find a solution, but the alcohol from yesterday had not faded yet, and her head was still hurting.

It… it probably did not leak, right?

Yan Qingqiu asked herself over and over again, replaying everything that had happened yesterday. Her eyes moved from the door to the staircase where she was currently standing, then to the room she had just come out of. Replay. Frantic replay.

It was not that she remembered nothing. There were some scattered memories.

Then she discovered: I think I seduced Song Qingre.

Fine, just destroy everything.

Song Qingre kept her back to her and did not continue going deeper into this topic. She kept staring at the snow pear water in the pot. Yan Qingqiu tentatively walked down the stairs. Song Qingre turned off the heat and used a small bowl to scoop up the snow pear.

She turned around. The two faced each other.

Song Qingre looked warm and gentle, the corners of her lips carrying their usual faint smile. Yan Qingqiu had looked in the mirror that morning. After waking up from a hangover, her face was haggard, and the corners of her eyes were swollen. Compared with Song Qingre, Yan Qingqiu looked as if she had stayed up all night digging a tunnel.

Song Qingre placed the snow pear water on the table and said warmly, “Drink this while it’s hot.”

Yan Qingqiu swallowed. Her throat hurt from the obstruction, as if the sand in her throat was scraping the inner walls. It hurt so much that she coughed again. This was exactly what she was lacking right now. Song Qingre was too considerate.

Song Qingre propped her hands on the table. She stood sideways, and on the black apron around her waist was a white rabbit gnawing on a carrot. The shadow where the tips of her shoes met the floor stretched long and slender. In the morning light, she looked clean and soft, carrying a warm, homely feeling.

Yan Qingqiu slowly moved over and sat on the chair, holding the bowl as she drank. The snow pear water had been simmered very sweet. At first, she used the spoon to feed herself. Her memory slowly returned, and she remembered the way she had drunk the hangover soup last night. Song Qingre had fed it to her very gently. At that time, she had been too dizzy, and everything she looked at was blurry. She only remembered Song Qingre’s gentle voice and those few soft “mm” sounds.

After drinking a couple of mouthfuls, she hugged the bowl and drank, moistening her throat. Her throat felt much more comfortable. She licked the corner of her lips, and Song Qingre went to scoop another bowl for her.

This time, after giving it to her, Song Qingre took off the apron and sat down on the chair across from her. Song Qingre did not speak, but she was like a gentle teacher, softening up a child who had done something bad and waiting for them to confess on their own.

Yan Qingqiu cried inwardly. She wished she could lick the whole bowl of snow pear water clean.

Heavens, what exactly did I do yesterday?

Yan Qingqiu was usually quite clever, but at this moment, she became clumsy.

No matter how much she delayed, the snow pear water still reached the bottom. When she opened her mouth again, her throat felt much better. “Um, everything I said yesterday was drunk talk. My head was muddled, and my words were unclear. You don’t need to take it seriously.”

Song Qingre did not speak. Her bright eyes looked at her.

Yan Qingqiu’s heart panicked under her gaze. If Song Qingre sternly scolded her and provoked her sensitive nerves, then if the two of them argued, she could deliberately yield to Song Qingre and let Song Qingre slap her once, ending everything. But this kind of gentle-as-water personality—she really could not handle it. She could not take it…

“Looks like…” Song Qingre sighed softly. “I can only bear it silently.”

Yan Qingqiu was a mess inside, but she kept calm. “About this matter, mainly, I don’t remember…”

Song Qingre interrupted her and returned Yan Qingqiu’s exact words from yesterday to her. “Your mouth is hot-hot and soft-soft.”

Yan Qingqiu nearly choked. Those did not sound like words Song Qingre made up, because when she was sober, that was exactly how she thought.

She looked at Song Qingre. Song Qingre had not applied lipstick today, yet her lips still looked red and gorgeous. She gently bit her lower lip, her voice low. “What should we do about this?”

Yan Qingqiu swallowed. Her heart beat like a drum. Did she kiss her?

No way.

Although it was embarrassing, if she had kissed her but had no memory of how it felt, that was such a loss.

“I think you weren’t drunk at the time, right? You could have pushed me away completely. You could have called for help, right? The butler was at home.” Yan Qingqiu did not believe she became a strongman after getting drunk!

As she said this, Yan Qingqiu could not help cursing herself. Yesterday, she had passionately scolded Fu Ye. Good grief, today she was sitting here discussing consent and shifting responsibility.

But once she thought about it this way, Yan Qingqiu immediately became clear-headed. She directly said, “Hehe, you’re an Alpha, and you couldn’t even push me away? Hehe.”

Then how could I possibly be an Omega? You exposed a flaw, didn’t you?

Song Qingre stopped talking. Yan Qingqiu felt smug inside. Checkmate!

Yan Qingqiu used a knife to cut a piece of snow pear and put it into her mouth. Her throat did not itch so much anymore. Still trying to muddle through? What a joke.

Song Qingre said, “You really won’t explain?”

“Explain what?” She chewed the snow pear. “Are you trying to extort me?”

“It’s just… the matter of you forcing me to kiss your mouth. Although you said you were very fierce and had fooled around with many women, and your body was full of Omega scent,” Song Qingre said. “Then I resisted with all my strength, and then…”

Yan Qingqiu had an impression of it. She should have said that sentence. She froze. There was more “and then”?

“And then, I pushed you away. You said, ‘Baby, come here. I’ll tell you a secret.’ Then you said you were an Omega…”

Yan Qingqiu was completely dumbfounded. No, how did this absurd story even connect together so smoothly?

“Even if you’re an Omega, you still can’t act like this, right… Even if I’m an Alpha, I’m still an Alpha being toyed with for the first time. Are you, are you just planning to let this pass?” Song Qingre asked, her tone very low, like someone who had been ruined and then abandoned.

Song Qingre looked at her with resentment in her eyes. “You even showed me your Omega sex characteristics. Luckily, I had integrity and refused you.”

Yan Qingqiu refused to admit it to death. “You refused me, so you didn’t see anything! I might have just misspoken. Isn’t it normal to talk nonsense when drunk?”

“Oh, I thought so at the time too. I lost control a little and secretly looked again…” Song Qingre blinked and said.

“…”

Yan Qingqiu went blank. She had nothing to say. Could some matters not be said all at once? Did it have to be this much back-and-forth, this many twists and turns?

Yan Qingqiu lowered her head. She pretended she had not heard. Deny it to death. Deny it to death. Song Qingre must be deliberately testing her. But if she was testing her, did that not mean she already suspected something? And the degree of suspicion was especially deep. Fatal…

Yan Qingqiu slowly raised her head. But she had not completely differentiated yet. So what if Song Qingre suspected? If she had the ability, Song Qingre could immediately turn her into an Omega right now.

She would stubbornly deny it to death. She said, “You believe whatever I say? You’re too easy to deceive. Actually, I was just trying to trick you into bed so I could sleep with you.”

“Really?” Song Qingre’s eyes brightened. She sat up straight, propped her chin on her hand, and said, “Can you really do it, Miss Omega?”

Yan Qingqiu swallowed. This time, she did not get provoked. She sneered. “Hehe, look, I tricked you twice and you believed it. You really are easy to deceive. So stupid. Even if I said yesterday that I was an Omega, I was lying to you. Hahaha, I’m laughing to death.”

The corners of Song Qingre’s lips moved slightly. She smiled and said, “That’s right. Because if Qiuqiu says something, I have to believe it. What if everything she said is true?”

Yan Qingqiu felt even guiltier. She did not dare look at her.

But fortunately, the problem was solved. She had muddled through.

Yan Qingqiu swore that she would absolutely never drink recklessly again.

At this time, they had not yet eaten breakfast. Yan Qingqiu had drunk a lot yesterday and fallen asleep quickly too. It was only just past seven now, and the helpers at home came to set the dining table.

The two young ladies sat opposite each other and quietly ate.

Each of them ate their own portion. Yan Qingqiu held her chopsticks and secretly examined Song Qingre. Although Song Qingre no longer mentioned the Omega matter, her expression remained faint and difficult to read. Occasionally, she raised her eyes to look at Yan Qingqiu.

Song Qingre ate steamed egg. She naturally carried an elegant air, her temperament warm and gentle like jade. She said, “Yesterday, I ran into Fu Ye at the bar. If I hadn’t arrived, you and Su Xingjie would both have been taken away by him.”

“The two of us would both have been taken away by him?” Yan Qingqiu was shocked.

“Otherwise?” Song Qingre asked back.

Waves of fear rose in Yan Qingqiu’s heart. Male leads were terrifying creatures. Once drunk, they would inevitably mess around with the people around them. It was always the same one-night-stand routine.

It was not that she hated all male leads. It was just that Fu Ye did not look like a good bird. He had one in his bowl while looking at another in the pot. His character truly had no guarantee. She wiped her mouth, took her phone, and called Su Xingjie to ask whether she was all right.

Su Xingjie was still dazed and confused about yesterday. The rustling of parasol tree leaves had echoed in her ears all night. She had not slept well and was currently on her way to the company. She rubbed her temples and said, “I’m fine. Yesterday, Song Qingre sent me home. When you got home, she also called me. What about you? Are you okay?”

She still did not feel very reassured about Song Qingre and kept feeling that this person was dangerous.

“Oh…” Yan Qingqiu secretly looked at Song Qingre. She had not expected Song Qingre to handle everything so thoroughly. “I’m fine too…”

“Really? Your voice sounds strange!” Su Xingjie asked with concern in a low voice. “Why does it sound like you shouted yourself hoarse?”

Yan Qingqiu raised her voice a little. “Really, nothing happened. I just drank too much yesterday, took a cold shower, and my throat hurts.” Cold shower… fatal. She remembered something she should not have remembered. A few sighs were mixed into her words.

Su Xingjie did not understand. Why was she sighing? Was there that much regret?

She still wanted to say something, but Yan Qingqiu used the excuse that she had to eat and hung up. “I’ll come find you when I have time.”

Song Qingre continued the topic from earlier. “There are some things I shouldn’t say, but in the future, you should still have less contact with Fu Ye. That person doesn’t really keep himself clean.”

“Mm, got it.”

“In the future, if you go somewhere to drink, it’s best to tell your family. Su Xingjie is an Omega. If something happens, both of you will be in danger.”

“All, all right. Got it.”

Whatever Song Qingre said, she listened. Unlike before, when her mouth had been cheap and she kept arguing back. When Song Qingre finished speaking, Yan Qingqiu felt something was missing, so she had to stubbornly add, “Oh, I’m not that stupid. I know all of that.”

Song Qingre said unhurriedly, “The way you kept staring at me yesterday looked very silly.”

“!”

Yan Qingqiu suspected that if the servants were not present, Song Qingre would probably have said: the way you begged me to kiss you yesterday was pretty stupid.

Yan Qingqiu lowered her head. Turning slightly, she saw the butler standing in the corner, holding a pen and frantically writing things down. Her eyes widened. She instantly became alert. If she had fur on her body, it would probably have exploded upright right now. Was he writing that she was henpecked?

Yan Qingqiu was too embarrassed to tell the butler to stop. Thinking of the one point she had especially cared about yesterday, she also said, “You weren’t any better. I saw you sitting with him and drinking yesterday.”

“All right. I’ll listen to you from now on. In the future, when I see him, I’ll ignore him.”

Yan Qingqiu felt a tiny bit more comfortable inside.

Thinking that Song Qingre had taken her and Su Xingjie home yesterday, she should at least say thank you. Her mouth opened, but she did not know how to say it.

Song Qingre finished eating and wiped her mouth with a tissue. She would have to go to work soon. Yan Qingqiu thought of a way. Since Song Qingre sent her back yesterday, that could offset the debt. She would be generous and deduct one hundred thousand.

Yan Qingqiu rose from her chair and asked, “Where’s my bag?”

The butler went to get it for her. Yan Qingqiu lowered her head and rummaged through the bag, only pulling out the fountain pen. Her brows furrowed. “Where’s my notebook?”

The butler did not understand and came over, preparing to help her look. “When you came back yesterday, I hung the bag by the door.”

Yan Qingqiu rummaged through the bag again, but she still did not find her little notebook. Back then, she seemed to have taken it out at the bar. Later, when the alcohol hit, she only wanted to throw up and shoved it back. Could she have failed to put it inside?

“The ledger?” Song Qingre asked.

“Right.” Yan Qingqiu nodded. “It seems to have fallen at the bar.”

“I know someone at the bar. I’ll call and ask for you. Don’t worry,” Song Qingre said warmly. She had just been about to help make the call when Yan Qingqiu quickly stopped her. “No need. Maybe I didn’t bring it when I went out yesterday. I left it in my room.”

“Mm?” Song Qingre was puzzled.

Yan Qingqiu continued, “It’s just a notebook. Buying a new one is fine. No need to trouble anyone.”

Song Qingre answered softly, “All right. I remember all the accounts. If there’s anything you don’t remember, you can ask me to check.”

Yan Qingqiu’s lips moved slightly. She did not say anything and only nodded with a small sound.
