How Long Are You Going to Keep Acting Like A Beta? ABO - Chapter 42

Qi Qing stared at her, determined to get an answer.

“Is this answer really that important to you?” Shu Qian asked softly. After she felt the subtle emotions that she had felt since she saw Qi Qing, she felt that she was being ridiculous.

“Of course it’s important to me,” Qi Qing said. Her facial features were well-defined and she was a classic beauty. However, her high position and the coldness and distance in her eyes always made others afraid to approach her. Only when she was staring at Shu Qian would she show other emotions. “If it’s because you don’t like me, then… I won’t pester you.” She said this with great difficulty.

Of course, Qi Qing wanted to follow her emotions and get angry, vent, and press her down to have sex. But rationally, she understood that emotional blackmail was not helpful and would only push the person she liked away. She needed to find the reason and treat the cause. Compared to physical pleasure, she was very clear that what she wanted was for Shu Qian to be by her side.

If Shu Qian really didn’t like her, Qi Qing had already thought about it. She would persuade Shu Qian to continue their casual relationship. No matter what the answer was, she would not let Shu Qian leave again.

A subtle feeling of melancholy lingered in the air. Shu Qian looked at the clock for no reason. Great. It’s eleven o’clock at night, and they’re here acting out a romance idol drama. But…

“I… what should I say?” Shu Qian was a little at a loss for words. Since she was a child, she had to rely on herself and deal with the power struggles in her family, so she wasn’t used to dissecting her thoughts to others. But Qi Qing was still waiting, and she looked like she wasn’t going to let her sleep without an answer. So she had to try her best to express herself. “My mother married a terrible Alpha, but because of the instinctive physiological bond between an A and an O, she was trapped in a cage of marriage until she passed away.”

Shu Qian looked down. “Actually, she was happier passing away early. At least she didn’t have to suffer for a few more decades. But I’m very scared. I don’t want to lose control of myself. I don’t want to beg an Alpha I hate to have sex with me when I’m in heat…”

“It’s not your problem. It’s my problem. I have no confidence or interest in A/O marriages.”

Shu Qian didn’t directly say that she didn’t like her. Qi Qing’s tense mood from the whole night finally eased. She tentatively held her hand and gently caressed it in her palm. “If you don’t want to get married, we can still be in a relationship. You’ll always be free. You… always need a decent Alpha to help you when you’re in heat, right?” She carefully promoted herself.

Shu Qian looked up, her expression subtle.

“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” The anger and sadness from the past year were all soothed by seeing Shu Qian and knowing that she didn’t leave because she didn’t like her. Qi Qing asked calmly.

“You know there’s a major breakthrough in medicine that can treat the pheromone imbalance between Alphas and Omegas… The team leader is my godfather,” Shu Qian said. Seeing the surprised look on Qi Qing’s face, a smile finally appeared. “When I escaped from the Shu family, I didn’t go abroad right away because I was waiting to be a test subject.”

“But at that time, there was no progress with the medicine, and my physiological imbalance was on the verge of getting out of control, so I went to the health center to get a match. The result was that I unexpectedly got matched with my boss,” Shu Qian said. Every time she thought about this, she felt that it was ridiculous and strange. Getting matched with her boss and going from being casual partners to a couple. It could totally be a story.

Qi Qing had already guessed what she was going to say next. She nonchalantly pulled her to the side of the bed and sat down. She then had Shu Qian sit on her lap.

Shu Qian glanced at her but didn’t push Qi Qing away. She sat in her arms and continued, “My plan was to go abroad after the three doses were administered to avoid the Shu family’s pursuit. Everything abroad was arranged by my godfather, and I had no problems with my life. The whole plan went very smoothly. After the three doses were administered, my pheromone levels gradually decreased and returned to normal. The only unexpected thing was you.”

“And my little baby,” Shu Qian said, looking at the baby stroller with a look full of maternal love. “I never planned on having a child, but when I thought that it was a child with you, I knew she would be very cute, after all, you’re so beautiful.” She slowly leaned on Qi Qing’s shoulder. “Doesn’t this sound like a story about a domineering CEO’s casual partner running away with his child?”

“So is the child a genius?” Qi Qing asked.

Shu Qian couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re a pervert and a narcissist.” She admitted that she really liked Qi Qing. Seeing her come to find her made her happy from the bottom of her heart. It proved that her Alpha, at least for now, loved her and it wasn’t just a physiological dependency.

Qi Qing felt her closeness, and some thoughts began to stir. She couldn’t help but caress her lips, and the atmosphere immediately became ambiguous. Shu Qian opened her mouth and bit her finger, sliding her tongue across it.

Getting her response, the long-suppressed spark of passion was instantly ignited.
