When the Stand-in O Differentiated into an A - Chapter 10
After Yu Xiaoxiao led Qiao Xi to her bedroom, Qiao Xi stood in front of her like a cautious little bunny, afraid to move.
Yu Xiaoxiao sat on the small sofa by the window. When she saw Qiao Xi was about five steps away from her, she frowned slightly. “Why are you standing so far away? What if you can’t hear me?”
Qiao Xi quickly came to her senses. She took small steps forward. “What’s your command? Please tell me!”
Yu Xiaoxiao held her forehead as if she had a headache. “You passed my test early, so you can sleep in the same room with me tonight. But I don’t like being disturbed when I sleep. You must be quiet at all times when we sleep together, understood?”
Of course, it would be quiet when she slept, besides the sound of her breathing. Qiao Xi felt this was an easy request and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Yu Xiaoxiao continued, “Also, while you’re my partner, you don’t need to bow and scrape or flatter me. I don’t like it. As partners, we should be equal.”
Equal relationship?
Qiao Xi didn’t know what was going on in this heiress’s mind. She could easily make her angry, yet Yu Xiaoxiao insisted their relationship was equal. Although Qiao Xi verbally agreed, she still didn’t dare to be too relaxed. She had to constantly be aware of Yu Xiaoxiao’s moods. When Yu Xiaoxiao was angry, she had to placate her, and when she was sad, she had to cheer her up.
After all, this was her job.
Qiao Xi waited until Yu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, then asked, “Can I unpack my things now?”
Yu Xiaoxiao stretched lazily. “Do as you please. I’m going to work in the next room for a bit. Just try not to make too much noise while you’re unpacking.”
Qiao Xi nodded. “Okay, I got it!”
Yu Xiaoxiao’s bedroom also had a small study connected to it, where she usually worked. Qiao Xi wasn’t completely unprepared for her role as Yu Xiaoxiao’s stand-in. She had looked up Yu Xiaoxiao’s age, height, and weight online, but the information wasn’t entirely accurate.
The real Yu Xiaoxiao was much prettier than the photo on the website. However, the date of birth was correct, and Qiao Xi was shocked to find that Yu Xiaoxiao was a few months younger than her.
Yu Xiaoxiao was a billionaire at a young age, while Qiao Xi worried about where her next meal would come from. This was a clear case of different fates for different people.
But Yu Xiaoxiao was a good person. Qiao Xi felt that she wasn’t as unreasonable as she first thought. Still, this job wouldn’t last forever. Yu Xiaoxiao was probably just looking for something new and wanted someone to play games with her. A person’s excitement usually lasts for a few months, and in less than six months, Yu Xiaoxiao would probably get tired of her and fire her.
Qiao Xi saw this job as a buffer. She could use this time to find a new job.
Qiao Xi didn’t have many clothes in her suitcase. She folded them and put her toiletries in the bathroom.
She figured a rich person like Yu Xiaoxiao might be a little bit of a germaphobe, so she put her things far away from Yu Xiaoxiao’s, not daring to get too close.
As for her clothes, there were many closets in Yu Xiaoxiao’s room, but she didn’t dare open them without Yu Xiaoxiao’s permission. She didn’t want to make Yu Xiaoxiao unhappy.
Qiao Xi neatly folded her clothes and placed them next to her. She planned to ask Yu Xiaoxiao if she could put them in the closet when she came back from work.
Qiao Xi was exhausted from the day’s events, so she lay down on the bed shortly after sitting. Yu Xiaoxiao wouldn’t be back for a while, so a quick nap should be fine, right?
With that thought, Qiao Xi closed her eyes.
Whenever Qiao Xi slept in Yu Xiaoxiao’s bed, she wondered what it was made of. The bed seemed to have some magical power; as soon as she touched it, she would sleep like a log.
Meanwhile, in the study next door, Yu Xiaoxiao opened her Instagram. She had received a lot of messages from omegas confessing their love for her. Before Qiao Xi, Yu Xiaoxiao had found a few other “stand-ins” who fit her criteria, but their intentions were too obvious. They either wanted her money or her family’s status.
Of course, some people genuinely wanted to be with her, but they all saw Yu Xiaoxiao as an S-rank alpha and flattered her to no end. Since S-rank alphas made up less than 2% of the population, their presence attracted countless admirers.
It was a shame Yu Xiaoxiao wasn’t an S-rank alpha. She wasn’t even a top-tier, charming omega. Although she came from a good family, she was an inferior omega. Yu Xiaoxiao, who had been extremely insecure about this since childhood, had never experienced genuine affection.
The news that the Yu family heiress was an S-rank alpha was spread by Director Yu herself. That’s right, Yu Xiaoxiao’s mother was dedicated to molding Yu Xiaoxiao into the image of an S-rank alpha so she could inherit the family business.
But Yu Xiaoxiao hated this false identity, and this identity, which didn’t belong to her, made her miserable. She had to act in front of others all the time and take pheromone inhibitors every time she went out. To create a perfect S-rank alpha image, she even had to inject herself with alpha pheromones that were incompatible with her body.
The thought made Yu Xiaoxiao slam her laptop shut with a bang.
Because of the long-term use of omega inhibitors and alpha pheromone injections, her health wasn’t good. Tomorrow was her monthly check-up, and Butler Dong had already scheduled it for her.
To be honest, Yu Xiaoxiao didn’t want to go to the hospital her mother arranged, but her schedule was constantly monitored by Director Yu, and she couldn’t change it. But she could at least bring her obedient lover with her tomorrow.
Yu Xiaoxiao had never felt such a pure emotion from anyone. She could tell what was on Qiao Xi’s mind just by looking into her eyes.
Qiao Xi was that kind of person; her intentions and everything she felt were written all over her face.
Yu Xiaoxiao liked people like this because she didn’t have to guess what they were thinking. Having someone like this to entertain her made her feel a little more at ease.
Most importantly, she had a face that resembled that person’s.
