How Long Are You Going to Keep Acting Like A Beta? ABO - Chapter 48

Now that she finally had Shu Qian’s agreement, Qi Qing immediately had someone arrange the child’s travel documents. The joint venture project was also progressing very smoothly, which made her unusually pleasant to her subordinates these past few days. She even had Xu Yuxi arrange a two-day vacation to reward the team.

While her subordinates were happily on a company-paid trip, Shu Qian took Qi Qing to visit the Charlton family. They stayed in the family’s ancient castle for two days, and Qi Qing was surprisingly well-received by the Charlton family.

Her business partner happened to be a Charlton relative, an elder who held a lot of weight and influence in the family. She had a very good impression of Qi Qing, so everyone was very friendly to her.

After dinner, while Qi Qing was talking to other elders, Wells walked over to Shu Qian. His expression was complicated as he said, “No wonder Fu Zhao was so obsessed with her. Even our dignified Duchess, Aunt Vinoa, is pleasant to her. If she wasn’t your Alpha, she probably would have already set her up with my cousin.”

Shu Qian calmly pushed the cradle, playing with Wan Wan. The ring on her hand was very noticeably sparkling. This cousin, whom she had just recently met, was a playboy on the outside, but he was dedicated and friendly to his blood relatives. When she first came to this foreign land, if it weren’t for Wells’s enthusiastic care, she wouldn’t have been able to settle down so quickly. Not to mention, she was pregnant at the time.

“But her methods are decisive and ruthless,” Wells said. He then stopped short, seemingly hesitant to continue.

Shu Qian glanced at him. “Hmm?”

“Did you hear what happened to Fu Zhao later?”

“I went abroad not long after that banquet,” Shu Qian said, shaking her head.

“He was apparently deeply marked by a notorious rich man. I think his name was Cheng Zhong…”

“Cheng Zhongqian,” Shu Qian suddenly said, her face turning cold. “He was the man the Shu family wanted me to marry.” Hearing that name again made her feel uncomfortable. Back then, she was like a piece of merchandise, forced to have a few meals with him. Every time they met, the Alpha’s scrutinizing eyes and the hidden meaning behind them made her feel disgusted. This was also why Shu Qian was determined to leave the Shu family and escape the marriage.

Wells frowned. When his friend told him, he emphasized that this Alpha was very kinky and was a famous pervert in the area. He didn’t expect his cousin to almost be married to such a person. “They are already married. They just do their own thing in private.”

Shu Qian’s expression instantly became subtle.

“What are you two talking about?” While Qi Qing was talking to the others, she would look over at Shu Qian’s location from time to time. When she noticed Wells approaching Shu Qian, she couldn’t hold back and walked over. Although she knew Wells was Shu Qian’s cousin, she had a beast-like territorial instinct for the Omega she had found again. She had just hidden it well in front of Shu Qian.

But for an intruder, even a blood relative, Qi Qing found it hard to tolerate. Especially a competitor of the same gender.

As soon as Qi Qing arrived, she stood behind Shu Qian. It seemed like she was giving the initiative to Shu Qian, but it was also a way of showing her dominance to everyone else. Wells immediately understood her meaning, shrugged, said he was going to find another relative, and left.

Shu Qian held her hand. “Wells just said that Fu Zhao and Cheng Zhongqian got married.”

“Ah, that,” Qi Qing said. When she mentioned Fu Zhao, her face was still full of disgust. “I sent photos of his orgies to his parents. After that, he never showed up again. I heard that he was having too much fun at a private party and got high, so someone with a plan took the opportunity to mark him.”

Previously, to be with Qi Qing, Fu Zhao maintained the image of a well-mannered gentleman. But after the engagement was called off, he no longer had any scruples and reverted to his true self, hanging around various celebrity parties. This person with a plan had been interested in Fu Zhao for a long time, but had previously been somewhat wary of Qi Qing and didn’t want to offend both families at once.

He didn’t expect their engagement to fall through and that the previously polite and well-behaved Omega’s true nature was so degenerate. Cheng Zhongqian set a trap and took the opportunity to deeply mark Fu Zhao. For the sake of face and reputation, the Fu family had no choice but to marry their son to him.

“Are you very familiar with Cheng Zhongqian?” Qi Qing was sensitive to Shu Qian’s unusual emotions when she mentioned the name. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“I guess you could say so. I had a few meals with him,” Shu Qian said, looking up and seeing the storm brewing on the Alpha’s face. “When Shu Fan wanted to marry me off, the person was Cheng Zhongqian. He forced me to meet him a few times.”

Qi Qing’s face completely darkened. Although she already knew that Shu Qian had run away to her company to escape a marriage, she was glad that she had succeeded. She just kept this matter in her heart.

Their business trip was over, but Shu Yuwan’s documents would take a few more days. She had Xu Yuxi handle the flight tickets, and the group flew back home. The days she stayed with Shu Qian were like a nanny boot camp. She took care of the baby every day. The only time she was free was during Shu Qian’s afternoon walk and coffee time.

After spending a few days with Shu Qian, Qi Qing found that she was far too popular. The blonde Alpha at the coffee shop, in particular, always had a glint in her eye whenever she saw Shu Qian. Respecting her as an individual and her life was both tormenting and something to be proud of for Qi Qing.

Finally, Shu Yuwan’s documents were ready. The nanny they hired had also arrived. She immediately arranged for them to go back home. It was only after they boarded the plane and the cabin door closed that Qi Qing finally felt a sense of security.

Shu Qian sat in the bedroom of the luxurious private jet, thinking about how she had almost fled the country and how she was now returning with such a grand show. The treatment was worlds apart. Who would have thought that the health matching center, which was meant to solve her physiological needs, would end up allowing her to “lie flat” and just hug Qi Qing’s thigh and say, “Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore.”

“This is great. I can finally go home with you,” Qi Qing said, sighing as she held Shu Qian. Only then did the Omega in her arms realize that the room had been cleared out. Even her daughter had been taken away by the nanny.

After becoming a mother, everything became simpler for Shu Qian. At this moment, she was only wearing a black sweater and jeans, her long hair draped over her shoulders. She looked innocent and young, a sharp contrast to Qi Qing’s formal clothes. It was as if she was a college student who was being kept by her. Shu Qian imagined the scene and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Qi Qing looked at her gently and with a hint of confusion.

“Do you think… we look like a rich, dominant Alpha bringing her newly-kept Omega student on a private jet to see the world?” Shu Qian hooked her collar. “And on this plane, the Omega finally gives her first time to the Alpha?”

Following her lead, Qi Qing’s eyes darkened slightly. “I suppose it does,” she said, her hand gently caressing Shu Qian’s back.

Shu Qian deliberately teased her, wrapping her arms around her neck and saying in a coquettish voice, “Sister, you know that new Hermès bag that just came out? It’s so pretty.” She rubbed against her in her arms, until she had her fill and tried to leave. She had just stood up when she was pulled back to her original spot, sitting on Qi Qing’s lap.

“You want a bag? You can have it, as long as you exchange it with your…” Qi Qing was very invested in her role as the wealthy Alpha.

Shu Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed and pushed Qi Qing back onto the sofa. She turned and knelt on her, looking at Qi Qing. “Then, Sister, be gentle… I’m afraid of pain.”

She leaned down and kissed Qi Qing on the lips.
