The Disabled Villain Omega Uses Her Riches to Get Close to People (GL) - Chapter 6
The next morning.
Jing Chaocao hit the snooze button, got ready, and picked up the clothes she had washed yesterday.
Naturally, she had hand-washed them.
After all, the clothes looked more expensive than she was. If she threw them in the washing machine, they might be ruined when they came out.
She didn’t hang them up to dry in the dorm but specifically reserved the dryer downstairs.
Thus, she could return them to the owner today.
Jing Chaocao checked her phone; Assistant Lin had messaged her, saying she was already at the school gate.
She opened the dorm door, ready to leave, but was stopped by Song Li.
Song Li hurriedly shoved the remaining half of her bread into her mouth, her words slightly muffled: “Wait for me! I’ll go with you!”
Jing Chaocao paused and asked, “Go with me?”
She didn’t know about that.
“Yeah!” Song Li opened a bottle of water to wash down the bread and said matter-of-factly, “If we go early, we can grab a spot in the back row.”
In university, only the last three rows were worth getting up early to fight for.
“…”
Jing Chaocao suddenly felt a pang of guilt. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, “Do we have class today?”
Since waking up this morning, she had been taking inventory of the things she needed to take with her.
Her ID card for the marriage registration, inhibitors for unexpected situations, the property transfer agreement signed for Assistant Lin yesterday, Chi Wanzhu’s clothes…
She checked repeatedly, afraid she had forgotten something.
The one thing she forgot was that she had class today.
Hearing her question, Song Li’s eyes became complex.
It was as if she were looking at the downfall of a youthful girl, full of regret and pity.
“Last week’s class was moved to today because of a compensatory holiday.”
After explaining, she said gloomily, “You never used to skip class.”
Although Jing Chaocao did part-time work, she knew how to prioritize and would never skip classes for a side job.
This was the first time she had seen Jing Chaocao skip class for two days straight.
Can falling in love change a person this much?
Song Li felt that as a single person, she wouldn’t understand.
Jing Chaocao coughed: “If the teacher calls attendance, please answer for me. I’ll bring you back bubble tea.”
“Fine!” Song Li waved her hand at her. “Go on, don’t worry. Have fun with your girlfriend. I understand!”
Jing Chaocao: “…”
No need to understand quite so thoroughly.
When she arrived at the school gate, she saw the car parked under the shade from a distance.
She walked to the car, pulled open the door, and was about to greet Assistant Lin but saw Chi Wanzhu sitting in the back seat first.
The greeting instantly switched mid-sentence. “Good morning, President Chi!”
She had thought the other party would just wait for her at the Bureau of Civil Affairs.
Chi Wanzhu only hummed in acknowledgment and continued reading the document in her hands.
Jing Chaocao didn’t expect the cold, big villain to return a “good morning.”
After greeting her, she sat on the other side, consciously keeping some distance.
Compared to yesterday, she couldn’t smell the Omega’s pheromones anymore, which meant the other party must have applied a strong inhibition patch.
Thinking of this, Jing Chaocao lowered her head and opened her phone to search.
【How long does a temporary mark last?】
She had returned to school quite late yesterday, and her intention to study secondary sex knowledge had been forgotten.
She could only do a quick search now.
【The duration of a temporary mark is not fixed.
The temporary mark duration is affected by the Alpha and Omega pheromone levels. Generally, the higher the level, the longer the duration.
However, the temporary mark typically lasts around 10–15 days.】
Pheromone level… Jing Chaocao silently repeated the term.
She seemed to have heard this term repeatedly yesterday.
Jing Chaocao changed the keyword in her search history: 【What is a pheromone level?】
When a person differentiates into an Alpha or Omega at the age of ten, a pheromone level test is conducted simultaneously.
The higher the level, the greater the pheromones’ influence on others.
For Alphas, a higher level means stronger aggression, and their pheromones have a crushing effect on lower-level Alphas.
For Omegas, a higher level means stronger pheromones. High-level Omegas can even counter-induce an Alpha into their rut.
Now Jing Chaocao could understand why Zhao Xiyin specifically mentioned levels.
The pheromone level for most people won’t change after it’s determined. A-class is definitely more popular than B-class.
Just as she was about to continue reading more expanded knowledge, she vaguely sensed the smell of brandy.
An extremely subtle brandy fragrance wrapped around Jing Chaocao’s wrist, as if searching for something.
Jing Chaocao first looked at Assistant Lin in the front. The assistant showed no surprising reaction.
Then she looked at Chi Wanzhu.
The Omega was still flipping through the documents, reading them very carefully, although a slight frown showed that she was not satisfied with the proposal.
But there was no sign that she was disturbed by pheromones.
After contemplating for a moment, she still moved a little closer to Chi Wanzhu and whispered, “Do you smell pheromones?”
As she got closer, Jing Chaocao felt the brandy scent seemed more obvious.
The pheromones circling her wrist also seemed a little excited, slowly moving upwards until they reached her scent gland.
Chi Wanzhu sent the request to rework the proposal to the planning department manager. Hearing the question next to her, she spared a glance for Jing Chaocao.
“What pheromones?”
“Don’t you smell it?” Jing Chaocao raised her wrist. “I just feel like pheromones are circling around me.”
Pheromones are invisible, so she could only describe it as clearly as possible.
Who knew that after she spoke, Chi Wanzhu’s gaze paused for a moment.
A few seconds later, she asked, “Jing Chaocao, did you take the secondary sex knowledge class?”
A mandatory course in primary school.
From yesterday until now, Chi Wanzhu’s way of speaking had always been simple and direct.
She could count on her fingers the number of sentences that exceeded ten characters.
“…”
It seems this is another piece of “common sense” that everyone knows but me.
Jing Chaocao spoke casually, showing no trace of embarrassment: “I took the class, but my memory is hazy.”
Chi Wanzhu seemed unsurprised. “This is a normal reaction to a temporary mark. After an Alpha and Omega temporarily mark each other, they become exceptionally sensitive to the other’s pheromones.”
They could sense even the slightest pheromone fluctuation from each other, but to outsiders, nothing would seem unusual.
Jing Chaocao’s mind worked quickly, and she immediately thought: “Is the effect bidirectional?”
Does that mean not only can I smell Chi Wanzhu’s, but she can also smell mine?
Chi Wanzhu, who had been enveloped in the scent of fir since getting into the car: “…”
Chi Wanzhu put away the document and didn’t answer her question, only saying, “You can watch some popular science videos.”
She did not want to moonlight as a primary school teacher.
“I’ve been watching them since yesterday,” Jing Chaocao attempted to demonstrate her effort to the big boss and showed her the search page from earlier.
【How can a B-class Alpha raise their level?】
“Alpha Level Enhancement Surgery, only 9,999! Seize the day!”
“Ten-Tonic Great Supplement Pill! Everyone who’s taken it says it’s good! Limited time, special sale! Click the link below to purchase immediately!”
“No loss, no scam! High-level simulated pheromones! Everyone who’s placed an order says they’re good!”
“…”
Chi Wanzhu’s gaze swept over the screen. Her voice was normal: “This is what you’re watching?”
“Yes, it is,” Jing Chaocao didn’t find anything wrong. In fact, she felt the other party’s attitude was a bit too cold.
Shouldn’t she at least offer some encouragement?
What’s more, she was planning to study Omega knowledge later.
“There’s no need to watch these,” Chi Wanzhu averted her gaze. “They’re all scams.”
She understood that some Alphas had a deep obsession with rank and would try various methods to raise it.
But successful cases were few and far between. Most people were just being scammed out of money, buying health supplements.
“Scams?” Hearing this, Jing Chaocao angled her phone and looked down at it. “No way. Something like this…”
???
When did I accidentally click on the link?!
She looked at Chi Wanzhu, who had already started reading the file again, and said with a touch of despair, “I clicked on it by accident.”
Compared to making the other person believe her, Jing Chaocao actually wanted to find a hole to crawl into first.
“Mm, I know.” Chi Wanzhu wouldn’t dwell on such a minor thing.
Jing Chaocao finally felt a little less embarrassed: “I’m glad you believe me!”
“Mm.”
“B-class is pretty good, too.”
Chi Wanzhu was uncharacteristically trying to comfort someone.
Jing Chaocao: “…”
Does she believe me or not?!
The marriage registration process went smoothly. Not many people get married on a weekday anyway.
Furthermore, since they weren’t truly marrying for love, the photo session was done in one take.
From entering to receiving the red certificate, it took a grand total of thirty minutes.
After getting the certificate, Chi Wanzhu asked, “Can you go back to school on your own?”
She had an urgent meeting to attend and needed Assistant Lin to drive her.
“Yes, President Chi, you go ahead and be busy!” Jing Chaocao didn’t mind.
It was also at this moment that she remembered the clothes and quickly said, “President Chi, wait a moment.”
Chi Wanzhu watched the girl open her backpack zipper and start taking things out.
“President Chi, I took the wrong clothes yesterday,” Jing Chaocao handed the clothes to Assistant Lin beside her. “But they are clean now.”
She didn’t mention the pheromones on them, but Chi Wanzhu could easily figure out the reason with a little thought.
Since her clothes were usually handled by the housekeeper at home, she was only finding out about the mix-up now.
So, Chi Wanzhu said to her, “Give me your contact information. I’ll get the clothes back to you then.”
Jing Chaocao quickly recited her phone number.
This was Chi Wanzhu asking for her contact information! How could she refuse!
After returning to the school gate, Jing Chaocao headed to the nearby bubble tea shop to place an order.
But before she could reach the shop, she stopped in her tracks.
Across the road was a person she was very familiar with, and someone who shouldn’t have been there—her best friend.
Although she hadn’t figured out the reason, Jing Chaocao subconsciously hid the marriage certificate she had just received even deeper.
