Why Not (Lily ABO) - Chapter 47
After a passionate morning, the two quickly packed up and went to the location Shi Father had sent. As soon as they sat down, Shi Mother addressed the topic directly.
“Shu Yun, this is a gift from your Uncle and Auntie.”
“We’ve already paid the deposit. We’ll go complete the paperwork this afternoon. We’re leaving tomorrow.”
Fu Shuyun looked at Shi Jing, feeling overwhelmed, squeezing Shi Jing’s forearm painfully. Shi Jing, meanwhile, looked like she had expected this. She remembered when her parents said they had already prepared everything, they must have found out and spent the last two days waiting for this moment.
A villa in a resort? Don’t they only offer reservations for rental, not sales? Are my parents really that influential?
“It’s a bit far from the city, but you have a car. You can go there to relax on weekends. The resort has everything; you could stay for a month. It also comes with a dedicated cleaner and organizer. Just contact them if you need anything.”
Noticing Fu Shuyun’s confusion, Shi Jing clasped her hand under the table, rubbing the back of her hand with her thumb, subtly comforting her. Fu Shuyun was instantly soothed by the warm gesture.
“Thank you, Mom and Dad.”
“Thank you, Mom and Dad!”
Shi Jing’s immediate response was followed quickly by Fu Shuyun, who blurted out “Mom and Dad” without thinking. Seeing the older couple’s eyes light up, and recalling Sister’s expression when she saw the “gift” on New Year’s Eve, she realized they truly were one family.
In fact, calling them that was perfectly fine; they were engaged, and it was appropriate, just as Sister had called her Mother and Ma-mi on the day of the engagement.
Shi Mother was overjoyed. Fortunately, she had prepared a red envelope in advance. She handed it to Fu Shuyun, gesturing for her to take it. Seeing the girl repeatedly looking at her daughter, Shi Mother simply stood up, walked to Fu Shuyun’s side, and tucked it into her pocket. This red envelope must be accepted.
“Don’t look at your sister; you definitely have to take this red envelope.”
“Yes, you must take it. The dishes are here; let’s eat.”
Shi Jing just smiled, showing no reaction, only gripping Fu Shuyun’s hand tighter. Sister is nervous, too; her palms are sweating. Fortunately, Shi Father ended the topic in time, drawing everyone’s attention back to the delicious food.
Shi Father had given some advice but hadn’t been heavily involved. The money and decision-making power were with his wife; his job was to be happy about his daughter’s engagement and agree at the appropriate moments.
After a busy afternoon, the matter was settled. Shi Jing had planned to treat her parents to dinner and maybe wander around somewhere in the evening, but before she could invite them, she was informed that both sets of elders had already made arrangements for the evening.
They’re definitely related by blood!
As soon as they left, Fu Linfeng and Jiang Xu found out about the house. They thought their preparations were quick, but the Shi family was clearly one step ahead. They quickly called their old friend to rush things along.
“Sister, do you have any plans for tonight?”
People on holiday filled every shopping mall. The road back was already slightly jammed. They finally arrived at the hot pot restaurant, only to find a long wait. They walked around the entire mall, took tickets for all the restaurants they wanted to try, and stood outside the restaurant, clutching a handful of slips.
Shi Jing leaned against the railing, replying to messages. Fu Shuyun suddenly burrowed into Shi Jing’s arms, cuddling against the Alpha’s waist. Yun Yan hadn’t gone home for New Year’s because of her ‘puppy,’ but due to some issues, Yun Yan had broken up with him. While it was a shame not to have a private evening with Sister, Fu Shuyun couldn’t just ignore her best friend.
“How about we rent a hotel suite later? If we manage to talk things through, we can call her girlfriend over.”
Shi Jing indulgently stroked Fu Shuyun’s head, then not satisfied, kissed her cheek. The usually thin-skinned Fu Shuyun blushed and ducked into Shi Jing’s embrace to wait for their table.
She’s usually so bold; why is she shy today? So cute. I want to fuck her.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Yun Yan pulled Fu Shuyun onto the bed to pour out her sorrows. Shi Jing used the time to review the files Che Xiyao sent her. Incredible. Che Xiyao collected so much information in just two days. She truly is ready to start her own business.
Muzi was in serious trouble. Financial fraud, an operational error causing the deaths of two workers, and an ongoing lawsuit. Plus, a batch of imported materials was being held at customs. It was enough to put him away for a long time.
Shi Jing anonymously packaged and sent the information to Young Master Li of Muzi. She would wait for him to come negotiate tomorrow. She had only planned to test the waters by having Che Xiyao investigate, as Cundong must have done their checks before signing the contract. The result was unexpected, yet predictable. If the parents raised such an heir, they couldn’t be entirely clean themselves.
My parents, too. Is my assistant taking bribes? It seems I need to thoroughly investigate the company internally. These matters had nothing to do with her, but they crossed her bottom line.
After dealing with this, Shi Jing felt significantly relieved. At least Fu Shuyun wouldn’t be bullied by anyone at A University anymore. The incident at the school gate was so disruptive that Fu Shuyun didn’t tell her, but Shi Jing could guess what the school forum looked like.
Fu Shuyun listened to the reason for the breakup and felt angry on her friend’s behalf. The issue was that on New Year’s Eve, the ‘puppy’ secretly took off the condom. For Yun Yan, who always insisted her Alpha wear a condom in bed, this was a red line, especially since it was done in such a disrespectful manner. Furious, Yun Yan yelled “break up” and stormed out.
“Yun Yun, he keeps messaging me, wanting to talk.”
“Do you think it’s necessary? I really hate it when Alphas disrespect an Omega’s wishes, but I keep wondering if I’m overreacting.”
“You and Sister Shi never use one, right?”
Yun Yan felt she had acted impulsively. She wanted to talk things out, but after this incident, it was clearly difficult to trust him again.
Fu Shuyun never understood the concept of wearing a condom with someone you loved. Although that wasn’t the core issue here, the Alpha’s disrespectful behavior was definitely off-putting. He can secretly remove it now, and next time he might permanently mark you when you’re not paying attention. As her best friend and an Omega, Fu Shuyun advised against dating such an Alpha.
“Wait, how Sister and I are intimate doesn’t affect your choice.”
“Were you too lenient with him? Even if you break up, you should talk about it properly. How about calling him over?”
The ‘puppy,’ receiving Fu Shuyun’s call, rushed to the hotel. Before seeing Yun Yan, he was thoroughly “educated” by Shi Jing and Fu Shuyun, apologizing profusely.
Back in their room, Fu Shuyun sat on Shi Jing’s lap, scrolling through her phone, watching Shi Jing busy at a laptop she pulled out from who knows where. Fu Shuyun left a red mark on Shi Jing’s collarbone.
“Sister, thank you for respecting me so much.”
“I’m your Alpha. Of course, I dote on you. Besides, if I disrespected an Omega, my mother would kick me out.”
Fu Shuyun, who was still thinking about the conversation earlier, burst out laughing. Only my Alpha would say that.
She tossed her phone aside, pulled the hand that was resting on the keyboard to her soft breast, closed the laptop, and pushed Shi Jing down onto the bed.
“I want to fuck Sister now.”
