Lu Shangyi's lips tightened, her expression gradually darkening. Qiao Yu held her waist, forcibly pulling her into her arms. In the cramped space, the faint fragrance of the other woman's hair unexpectedly wafted into her nostrils, stirring up a long-suppressed desire deep within her.

The air was thick with the unpleasant smell of medicine, and Qiao Yu almost vomited. She looked Lu Shangyi up and down with a puzzled expression, her gaze finally settling on the discarded syringes in the trash can. Lu Shangyi subconsciously clenched her fists, her eyes growing increasingly cold.

After staring at the syringe for a while, Qiao Yu looked up blankly and asked, "What's that?"

"What did you inject yourself with?" Although she didn't know what it was, she figured it couldn't be anything good, otherwise Lu Shangyi wouldn't look like she had just been pulled out of the water.

Qiao Yu felt extremely distressed and hurriedly took out a tissue to gently wipe away the cold sweat on Lu Shangyi's face. "Didn't I already give you my phone number? Can't you call me?"

The girl's voice was sweet and gentle, yet full of concern and tenderness. Lu Shangyi was somewhat dazed, but her expression remained tense. "It has nothing to do with you."

Qiao Yu pouted unhappily and couldn't help but threaten her fiercely, "Sister Lu, don't forget that you're still in my hands."

"If you dare disobey me, I'll kiss you until you can't go out in public."

It seemed that Lu Shangyi had never seen such a shameless scoundrel before, and fell silent for a moment. Qiao Yu gently tucked her sweaty hair behind her ear, and Lu Shangyi's sharp gaze turned to her. Qiao Yu almost trembled and hurriedly retorted, "I'm wiping your sweat."

"How can you go out looking like this?"

"Anyone who doesn't know better would think I bullied you like this."

Although Qiao Yu was eager to fall in love, she couldn't let her reputation be ruined before getting married; she still had her pride.

Lu Shangyi stared at her without moving, while Qiao Yu moved with utmost care and gentleness. Although she sensed that Qiao Yu meant no harm, Lu Shangyi's tense body remained still. After Qiao Yu threw away a wad of soaking wet tissue, Lu Shangyi said weakly, "Take me away."

Qiao Yu smiled brightly, her amber eyes sparkling with a hint of light. "Okay."

Lu Shangyi was completely exhausted and staggered as she walked. Qiao Yu tried her best to support her, but the height difference between the two was too great, making the scene quite comical.

Qiao Yu could tell that Lu Shangyi wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Lu Shangyi's legs were twice as long as hers, so one step from Lu Shangyi was equivalent to two steps from Qiao Yu. Although Qiao Yu tried her best to keep up with her short legs, she was still lagging behind. Qiao Yu had no choice but to run with small steps while grabbing Lu Shangyi's clothes, "Sister Lu, slow down, I can hardly keep up."

Suddenly, Lu Shangyi lost her balance, and her entire weight fell on Qiao Yu, causing Qiao Yu's legs to buckle and she almost knelt down on the spot.

The two of them made quite a commotion, attracting the attention of passersby. Some people, noticing Lu Shangyi's weak expression, politely approached her and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

Another one trying to pretend to be a hero and save the damsel in distress to get Lu Shangyi's attention?

That won't do! There can only be one living Lei Feng in this world! Qiao Yu glared fiercely. "Thank you, she's very kind."

Ignoring the reactions of passersby, Qiao Yu anxiously dragged Lu Shangyi out of the mall.

The commotion downstairs caught Lu Shenghui's attention. He glanced down at the time, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly. "Why hasn't Shang Yi come out yet?"

After saying that, he was about to get up to look for someone, but his companion quickly explained, "They should be out soon."

"Miss Lu will need some time to touch up her makeup."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shenghui's expression remained inscrutable, and the others held their breath, daring not to utter another word. Everyone knew that Lu Shenghui was extremely wary of his sister, and some even said that Lu Shangyi had rarely left the house in recent years because Lu Shenghui had imprisoned her at home, completely cutting off her chances of competing with him for the family fortune.

Lu Shangyi is so outstanding, even her differentiation into an omega couldn't put Lu Shenghui at ease.

A sense of pity arose in the hearts of her companions. If it weren't for the sudden car accident that caused Lu Shangyi's health to deteriorate, she wouldn't have been so passive and powerless in front of her own brother.

Lu Shenghui waited patiently for another minute, glancing frequently towards the restroom, but no one came out. Counting the time, Lu Shangyi had been out of his sight for a full five minutes.

Five minutes is enough time for Lu Shangyi to do a lot of things.

A sense of irritation rose in Lu Shenghui's heart, and he was about to get up when a person rushed over, looking anxious, and shouted, "It's terrible, Young Master Lu! Your sister has just been forcibly kidnapped by that scoundrel's daughter from the Qiao family!"

Qiao Yu sneezed violently, closed the car door, and looked at the taxi driver in the front seat, "To Jingxi Mansion."

The car shot off like an arrow, and when Lu Shenghui ran out, Lu Shangyi was nowhere to be seen. His face turned as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, and Lu Shenghui coldly picked up his phone. "Boss Qiao, don't you owe me an explanation for your precious daughter forcibly abducting my sister in public?"

Qiao Jinghuai was taken aback. "Yuyu abducted Miss Lu?"

What a joke! His precious daughter is so well-behaved and adorable, how could she possibly do something so heinous?

Before he could hang up, his secretary rushed into the office. "Mr. Qiao, in broad daylight and in front of everyone, Miss Qiao has tainted Miss Lu Shangyi's innocence!"

Qiao Jinghuai almost choked on his breath: "..."

The words he wanted to say to Lu Shenghui circled on his tongue before falling back down. Qiao Jinghuai tried hard to suppress his temper, "If this is really the case, I will definitely give you an explanation after I verify it."

Qiao Yu had no idea that the story was becoming increasingly exaggerated. Looking at Lu Shangyi's increasingly uncomfortable appearance, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Lu, are you having a fever?"

But the medicine just now didn't smell like an inhibitor.

Lu Shangyi hurriedly contacted the Qiao family's doctor, but Lu Shangyi put one hand over and pressed down on the phone, saying, "No need."

“How can that be?!” Qiao Yu frowned disapprovingly. “You’re already this weak! I won’t allow you to give up on yourself like this.”

He then removed Lu Shangyi's hand and took it in his own, saying, "I've already arranged for a doctor to be waiting for you at home."

Lu Shangyi glanced at Qiao Yu's hand, which was taking advantage of her so comfortably, and tried to brush her away. However, the other woman was like a stubborn leech. Lu Shangyi was exhausted and had no energy to deal with the matter anymore, so she let her go. She weakly closed her eyes, feeling a little irritated.

Qiao Yu first secretly observed Lu Shangyi, who was resting with her eyes closed. Seeing that Lu Shangyi didn't react, she openly peeked at her. Her gaze swept over Lu Shangyi's delicate face, then fell on her deep, picturesque eyebrows, and finally settled on her sugar-like red lips. Compared to Song Wanzi, who possessed aggression and charisma, Lu Shangyi's beauty was fragile.

Even her pale complexion couldn't hide her stunning beauty; her feigned strength and vulnerability only made people want to protect her even more.

Qiao Yu's gaze gradually intensified and became more direct. Lu Shangyi felt the indiscriminate gaze on him, his pale lips twitched, and he opened his eyes, his tone carrying an emotion that inexplicably frightened Qiao Yu, "Have you looked enough?"

Qiao Yu immediately showed a bewildered and ignorant look.

Qiao Yu wasn't stupid; she naturally sensed the danger in Lu Shangyi's words. She quickly shook her head, then, realizing something was wrong, she nodded instead, "I've seen enough, I've seen enough."

However, Lu Shangyi's usual composure and reserve vanished. His slender figure leaned in with an oppressive aura, making Qiao Yu's hair stand on end.

She panicked and immediately tried to get away.

With the car door locked right next to her and her back pressed against the seat, she had nowhere to escape.

Qiao Yu's heart pounded uncontrollably, and her mouth went dry instantly. To make matters worse, the hand she had been using to take advantage of Lu Shangyi was now being tightly gripped by him, and he even went further, pulling her close and pressing her against him so tightly that they were pressed together.

Lu Shangyi's white shirt was spotless, and his coat was neatly ironed, giving him the appearance of a well-dressed gentleman.

Qiao Yu was instantly struck by the aloof and restrained aura of this old cadre. She wanted to push him away, but hesitated.

As the distance closed, Qiao Yu smelled Lu Shangyi's original scent in the lingering medicinal aroma. It was as refreshing as gardenia, with a hint of sweetness that enveloped her senses, making her heart flutter wildly as if a blender was spinning inside her.

Lu Shangyi stared intently at her, "Do you know what an omega will do when they lose their mind during their feverish phase?"

An ambiguous atmosphere suddenly filled the air. Qiao Yu noticed the driver glancing back several times in the mirror, and her face instantly turned as red as if it were about to bleed. "I know."

She spoke in a barely audible voice, trying to push Lu Shangyi away, but Lu Shangyi easily grabbed her hands. "With my physique, even if I'm weak, dealing with you is a piece of cake."

Qiao Yu felt the same way. Lu Shangyi's arms were like steel, binding her so tightly that she could hardly move.

Qiao Yu knew that omegas would lose control of themselves during their heat cycle and would completely lose consciousness, hunting on instinct. She couldn't guarantee what earth-shattering things Lu Shangyi would do after losing consciousness, but since they were still in the taxi, she didn't dare to gamble.

Clinging pitifully to Lu Shangyi's arm, Qiao Yu decisively chose to apologize obediently, "I'm sorry, Sister Lu, I know I was wrong."

Lu Shangyi glanced at Qiao Yu's small, outstretched hands, so delicate they seemed as if they could break with the slightest twist. His eyes darkened slightly, and Lu Shangyi finally released Qiao Yu, sitting back down gracefully.

Qiao Yu dared not breathe, and only after a long while did she dare to exhale a small breath.

Qiao Yu was deeply hurt. "Am I not the number one Alpha in the capital? Why is Lu Shangyi, a weak and helpless omega, more powerful than me?"

How can she do anything in the future?

The system comforted her, "Host, you haven't differentiated yet. Once you differentiate, Lu Shangyi won't be able to beat you."

That makes sense.

Qiao Yu frowned. "However, the feeling of being forced into bed by a weak and delicate omega seems quite nice!"

"I love it!"
