The Cold Alpha's Black Lotus O Strategy Plan (GL) - Chapter 12
“President Lü…”
Jin Sique gritted her teeth and hurried after her.
Lü Zhongcai had fair skin and a tall, slender figure, with the elegant curves characteristic of a female Alpha.
She wore a shirt and suit trousers, her jacket draped over one arm. Her long, straight black hair fell neatly past her shoulders to the middle of her back. Even the fine hairs at her temples were perfectly arranged.
Whether walking or sitting, she always attracted the attention of passersby.
She resembled an exquisitely crafted yet indifferent mannequin. Even her courteous smile seemed precisely measured with a ruler, never reaching deeply enough to touch anyone’s heart.
The doorman bowed.
Lü Zhongcai smiled faintly and nodded before stepping through the revolving door.
Jin Sique chased her to the entrance and looked upward.
The exterior of Dafei Hotel was splendid and dazzling, resembling the decadent images of Dubai she had seen online and in films.
Every guest entering or leaving was dressed in luxury brands.
“Hello.”
The attendant’s expression was calm and professional. He extended one hand and bowed at a forty-five-degree angle, indicating the entrance to Jin Sique.
Jin Sique pressed her lips together.
Without thinking any further, she rushed through the revolving door. It felt as though she had instantly passed through a glittering, dreamlike barrier.
She froze and even turned to look behind her.
The pedestrians and attendants outside appeared distorted, like a blurred background in a photograph filled with streams of light.
“President Lü, please follow me.”
The respectful voice of the head attendant awakened Jin Sique from her daze.
She hurried forward and squeezed into the elevator just before its doors closed.
Lü Zhongcai stared straight ahead without sparing Jin Sique a single glance.
The head attendant looked surprised, but only for an instant. He quickly gave Jin Sique a professional smile.
“Hello. Which floor are you going to?”
Jin Sique shrank into the corner and did not answer. She only stared at Lü Zhongcai’s back.
Her black-and-white eyes did not blink, filled with naïve persistence and determination.
When Lü Zhongcai left the elevator, Jin Sique immediately followed.
She stayed so close behind her that she was only one step away from colliding with Lü Zhongcai’s shoulder, following her every movement.
The attendant’s confusion deepened.
When he opened the private room’s doors for Lü Zhongcai, a momentary lapse in attention allowed Jin Sique to slip inside after her like a loach.
A group of wealthy second-generation heirs sat on the sofas and chairs inside.
One or two Omegas accompanied nearly all of them—sitting in their arms, beside them, or even perched on the sofa’s armrests.
Dim, warm lighting enhanced the atmosphere.
The Alphas were all dressed in immaculate suits, while the Omegas wore beautiful clothes that were alluring without being overly revealing. Under the distorted light, the gathering resembled a medieval group portrait painted in oils.
When everyone saw Lü Zhongcai arrive, they nodded in greeting.
“You’re here?”
“I’m here.”
Lü Zhongcai inclined her head and casually sat in a corner.
It took Jin Sique a long time to recover.
She had followed Lü Zhongcai all the way into the restaurant. She looked very young, and her jeans had been washed until they had faded white.
She resembled a lamb that had accidentally wandered into a pack of wolves, completely out of place in the private room.
“Whose is she?”
A tall male Alpha rose from the shadows.
His broad, powerful back cast a shadow over Jin Sique, frightening her into freezing where she stood.
Jin Sique quickly lowered her head in helplessness.
She clenched her hands tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms as she struggled to remain clearheaded and conceal her fear.
More gazes turned toward her.
A small commotion even broke out as someone began walking over.
“An Omega.”
“Did she wander in by mistake? Should we have some fun with her?”
The Alpha, who was nearly two meters tall, bent down slightly.
His tanned face entered Jin Sique’s breathing space as he studied her leisurely.
“She’s so petite. Her scent is very faint.”
His words provoked a wave of quiet laughter and restlessness.
The laughter resembled a whirlpool within the tide, spinning faster and faster until it nearly swallowed Jin Sique whole.
A large hand wrapped around her shoulders.
Jin Sique stumbled as the tall Alpha pulled her into his arms. Her forehead struck his arm, instantly turning red across a broad area.
“What does she smell like?” someone asked in amusement.
The next moment, Jin Sique felt a warm breath against the back of her neck.
Like a startled cat, every hair on her body stood upright.
She used all her strength to push the male Alpha away.
The man sneered when he sensed her resistance.
With one hand, he seized both her wrists, lifted her from the ground, and suspended her in the air.
A sharp crack sounded.
Jin Sique heard her arm dislocate.
Agonizing pain struck her. Her face became even paler as she stared fearfully at the male Alpha drawing closer.
“With such a faint scent, I wonder what would happen if I took a bite…”
Jin Sique desperately turned her head.
She forced herself to look toward her only hope.
Lü Zhongcai sat on a European-style sofa with her hands clasped over her knees, watching the scene coldly as though it were a performance completely unrelated to her.
“Lü…”
“Lü Zhongcai…”
Jin Sique’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
Someone stood and suddenly called, “A-Du.”
The male Alpha sniffed and looked at the speaker impatiently.
“What?”
The person glanced toward Lü Zhongcai and asked with a smile, “Is she yours?”
Jin Sique looked at Lü Zhongcai, her gaze filled entirely with pleading and despair.
The male Alpha glanced at Jin Sique.
Apparently displeased that his attempt to mark her had been interrupted, he released an even stronger wave of rust-scented pheromones.
In the corner, some Omegas could no longer control their physical reactions. They moaned softly and twisted in the arms of their Alphas, instinctively acting spoiled as they begged for attention.
A blush began spreading over Jin Sique’s bloodless face.
The beads of sweat on her forehead grew increasingly hot. They slid past her temples and along her jaw before dripping onto the white clothing over her chest.
Dark spots spread through the fabric, revealing the pink undergarment beneath.
“President Lü, is she yours?”
The male Alpha swallowed.
“She looks so untouched. No one has played with her yet, right? Give her to me, all right?”
“A-Du!”
A female Alpha stepped forward, pulled Jin Sique from the man’s grasp, and pushed her aside.
“She belongs to President Lü?” the male Alpha asked again in dissatisfaction.
Lü Zhongcai remained silent, sweeping them with a casual glance.
“Hah.”
“She’s probably just some little thing trying to climb into President Lü’s bed.”
Someone laughed from the corner.
“President Lü isn’t saying anything. Isn’t her meaning obvious?”
The male Alpha examined Jin Sique again.
This time, even the female Alpha who had intervened began wavering.
She gently pushed Jin Sique, who drifted like a mayfly straight back into the male Alpha’s arms.
“President Lü, choose one you like.”
The male Alpha gestured generously around the room before tightening his embrace around Jin Sique and repeatedly sniffing near her gland.
Jin Sique breathed rapidly.
Lü Zhongcai’s ambiguous attitude and the flickering lights around her resembled wild beasts lurking within the darkness.
Large beads of sweat rolled down Jin Sique’s forehead.
Her pupils trembled, as did her lips.
“I… I…”
“Don’t be afraid,” the male Alpha said. “Once I mark you, it’ll feel wonderful.”
Jin Sique stared pleadingly past the Alpha and toward Lü Zhongcai, who was sitting two meters away, concealed in the shadows.
The Alpha’s sharp canine teeth pressed against the back of her neck.
His scorching breath seemed like seaweed dragging her into the depths.
Just as she closed her eyes in near despair, Jin Sique suddenly heard Lü Zhongcai’s voice.
“A-Du.”
Her voice was cold and carried an almost imperceptible trace of mockery.
“Your taste has deteriorated.”
The entire room fell so silent that even a falling needle could have been heard.
The decadent restlessness around them also disappeared.
The breath against Jin Sique’s neck moved away.
She opened her eyes in confusion.
Lü Zhongcai tapped one finger against her knee and said indifferently, “Come here.”
It took Jin Sique a long time to realize those words were directed at her.
She stood dazed beneath the assessing gazes of the exquisitely made-up Omegas around her. Then she walked awkwardly toward Lü Zhongcai, struggling to hold her back perfectly straight.
“President Lü…”
A-Du’s expression was unreadable.
Lü Zhongcai glanced sideways and examined the watch on her wrist.
She then picked up the suit jacket beside her, threw it to Jin Sique, and stood to walk toward the door.
Jin Sique stumbled after her.
“Wait! Zhongcai!”
The female Alpha seemed about to grab Lü Zhongcai. She clenched her teeth but ultimately abandoned the idea.
The two left the hotel.
A valet approached and opened the car door for Lü Zhongcai.
Jin Sique hurried toward the front passenger seat, but Lü Zhongcai glanced at her.
“Sit in the back.”
…
Jin Sique sat in the rear of the car, shrinking uneasily into a corner.
“W-Where are we going?”
Lü Zhongcai did not answer.
She drove the car beneath a secluded tree and lowered the window by the width of a finger.
Looking outside, she said calmly, “Straighten yourself out.”
Jin Sique froze before taking out her phone and using its screen as a mirror.
Her already fragile nerves tightened further as she hurriedly fixed her disordered clothing.
Lü Zhongcai’s expression did not change.
She stared outside with one hand resting on the steering wheel.
“I… I need a pair of trousers,” Jin Sique whispered.
She resembled a small bird drenched by the rain, unable to fly and shivering beneath a single blade of grass.
Lü Zhongcai’s fingers stopped tapping against the steering wheel.
In that instant, she nearly lost control of her pheromones.
A powerful sensation of losing control swept over her…
