How Long Are You Going to Keep Acting Like A Beta? ABO - Chapter 34

“Please forgive my forwardness. A senior in our family looks very similar to your female companion, which is why I was mistaken,” Wells said to Qi Qing, his eyes fixed on Shu Qian. However, he didn’t see any reaction on Shu Qian’s face, so he thought he might have been mistaken.

Shu Qian stood by unmoved, ignoring Wells’ gaze.

Qi Qing, of course, noticed his gaze. Although she was displeased, the other person’s actions weren’t too out of line. Plus, Shu Qian quietly hooked her hand, signaling that it was okay. Only then did Qi Qing’s mood ease.

Fu Zhao saw their intimate actions clearly, which made him even more furious. He swore that he would make this person who stole his Alpha suffer. He swallowed his anger and maintained the appearance that Alphas loved. Fu Zhao stepped forward and asked Qi Qing, “Sister Qi, can you dance with me later?”

Qi Qing had come here today to draw a clear line with Fu Zhao. She didn’t want to have any intimate contact with him. Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Shu Qian whisper in her ear, “I’m going to the restroom first. You should take care of your personal matters.”

After saying that, Shu Qian smiled at Fu Zhao and Wells. After asking a server, she walked toward the restroom.

With the eyesore gone, Fu Zhao immediately walked over happily, wanting to hold Qi Qing’s arm. But Qi Qing quickly took a step back and grabbed a glass of wine from a server’s hand.

Her gesture of taking the wine to avoid him made Fu Zhao feel hurt and angry. But he couldn’t have an outburst in front of everyone. His fingers were already digging into his palm. He still smiled and asked, “Can you?” When he saw that Qi Qing seemed about to refuse, he quickly said, “I know what Auntie told you. But we’ve known each other for so many years. Can’t you even agree to one small request?”

His pitiful look made even Wells feel a little sorry for him. He thought that no Alpha could refuse such a delicate and beautiful Omega.

“Like you said, we’ve known each other since we were kids. So you should have realized what kind of person I am a long time ago. I won’t agree to do something I don’t want to just because I feel sorry for someone. The same goes for my parents,” Qi Qing said, unmoved. “I agreed to come here just to give them an explanation. In a few days, our engagement, which never had any binding power, can be officially canceled.”

“Qi Qing!” Fu Zhao finally couldn’t hold it in. He said in a low, angry voice with red eyes. As an Omega who had always been held in the palm of people’s hands, this was the first time he felt humiliated. And it was all because of the person he had admired since childhood. “Is getting married to me that upsetting? Don’t Alphas like you welcome anyone who comes? If you marry me, I won’t stop you from having as many Omegas or Betas as you want, or even if you want to play with Alphas.”

His Alpha father was also like that. He married his Omega mother for their family’s benefit. After having a child and fulfilling his duty, he had countless lovers outside. But as long as it didn’t endanger the inheritance rights of the legitimate children, both families would turn a blind eye.

And his Alpha brother and Alpha sister were both outstanding people. Under the care of the family elders, their inheritance rights were very stable. So his father never acted on his thoughts.

Qi Qing showed a disgusted expression. She was very unhappy that Fu Zhao was comparing her to his father.

Hearing this, Wells understood that what was being said was not suitable for him as an outsider. He used the excuse of getting a drink and left. But when he got to the bar, he pretended to be nonchalant and looked back, confirming that Qi Qing and Fu Zhao were still talking. He then walked toward the restroom as well.

Shu Qian finally understood what it meant to run into an enemy. She had just walked to the restroom but hadn’t entered yet. She suddenly heard a familiar voice through the door, saying in a sharp voice, “Dad, I found Shu Qian. You’ll never guess where I found her. At that little son of the Fu family’s banquet, and she’s with Qi Qing.”

“That’s right, that Qi Qing, our family’s competitor. I told you a long time ago that she was a traitor. Just like her mother. She has a rich family, but she’s not willing to help them.”

She didn’t expect to run into someone from the Shu family at this time. The other person was belittling her as always. Shu Qian had endured it for more than twenty years. After leaving the Shu family and having a few days of freedom, hearing it again today, she found that she couldn’t endure it anymore. But Shu Qian was going to leave in a few days, and she didn’t want to cause any trouble at this time. She finally swallowed her anger and turned to leave to avoid Shu Hangjun. She didn’t notice Wells behind her and bumped into him.

“Sorry, are you okay?” Wells held her. His eyes were focused on her face, confirming his guess.

The close distance between them made her uncomfortable. She pulled away and took a step back. “I’m fine, thank you.” She then walked past Wells quickly.

Wells stared at her retreating back. He suddenly heard the voice from inside the women’s restroom. He linked this to Shu Qian’s behavior of wanting to go in but then suddenly leaving. He frowned and stood by the door. When Shu Hangjun came out, he “accidentally” bumped into her again.

When Shu Qian returned to the event, Qi Qing was surrounded by some people. Her identity made it hard for her to get to the center, so she could only watch from the outside.

“Qi Qing, I actually understand that our engagement has always been just my wishful thinking.” Fu Zhao took two glasses of wine from a passing server’s tray and handed one to Qi Qing. “Today is the last chance I’m giving myself. Since there’s no possibility, drink this glass of wine with me, and I won’t bother you again.”

Qi Qing’s eyes were filled with impatience. She didn’t want to save face for Fu Zhao, but to end this matter quickly and not be branded with a baseless charge of being heartless, she chose to take the wine. In front of everyone, she drank it all in one go, not noticing Fu Zhao’s excited eyes.

“All right,” Qi Qing said. When she returned the glass to the server, she suddenly felt a little dizzy. A familiar urge awoke in her body. The scent of Fu Zhao, a top-level Omega, seemed to have intensified her strangeness.

Fu Zhao seemed to have noticed that she was not well. He took a step forward and asked with concern, “Sister Qi Qing, are you okay? Drinking such strong wine all at once…”

Qi Qing also felt that she had drunk too fast, which was why she was a little uncomfortable. She was about to push him away with a cold face when she suddenly smelled the apple scent mixed with moth orchids. She turned her head and saw Shu Qian standing behind her. “I don’t feel too good.” Her tone was so gentle that you could even hear the grievance in it.

Shu Qian’s heart softened, and she quickly went forward to support her. Luckily, their height difference was not too big.

While the two of them were being all lovey-dovey, Fu Zhao was fuming. He had thought that Wells had taken Shu Qian away. He was thinking that the other person was reliable, but he didn’t expect Shu Qian to come back. But he still didn’t give up. “I see that Sister Qi Qing is not feeling well. There are rooms prepared for guests upstairs. Why don’t we let her go up to rest first?”

Although Shu Qian felt that the other person had ill intentions, she couldn’t figure out what he was planning. Qi Qing also really didn’t feel well, so she agreed to be taken upstairs.

When they got to the room, Shu Qian wanted to go in with her, but she was blocked by Fu Zhao. “Miss Shu, you know you’re not good enough for the Qi family.”

A sinister look that did not match Fu Zhao’s gentle and handsome face appeared. “I’ll take care of Sister tonight. I’ve also arranged a guest room for you. Have a good rest.”

Shu Qian couldn’t even refuse. She was forced by a server who came with them to another room and the door was locked. Even if she wanted to open the door and leave, she was blocked by the person guarding the door.

“Damn it, maniac,” Shu Qian said, finally understanding the situation. She never thought that these Omegas could be so crazy, all for the sake of marrying a so-called top-level Alpha. “A beautiful face brings disaster.”

Despite her cursing, she sat on the edge of the bed feeling powerless. She pretended to be optimistic, thinking, Forget it. It’s the Omega who will lose out anyway. Qi Qing, as an Alpha, probably won’t have any losses.

As if! If she didn’t resist and let Qi Qing sleep with someone else, she would definitely be so angry that she would want to destroy the world when she woke up. Although her phone was confiscated just now, she suddenly remembered that she still had her watch. She immediately took it out and contacted the bodyguards who always followed Qi Qing, telling them the room number.

The other person promised again and again that they would arrive immediately and would not let anything happen to their boss. Only then did Shu Qian sit on the edge of the bed with a wry smile.
