"As expected of the woman I've set my sights on, even her forced possession of a commoner's daughter is so captivating!"

Qiao Yu couldn't help but steal a couple more glances at Lu Shangyi. When Lu Shangyi turned her head, she quickly turned her head away, pretending to be looking at the scenery outside the window. Fortunately, Lu Shangyi didn't lean in as domineeringly as before. Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. "What a pity."

system:"……"

It noticed that ever since its host realized she couldn't go back, she'd become increasingly promiscuous. If she accidentally died from this promiscuity one day, would it be a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay?

The Jingxi Mansion boasts an excellent location, offering tranquility amidst the bustling city. It takes only half an hour to reach from the city center. Qiao Yu eagerly got out of the car to help Lu Shangyi, but Lu Shangyi avoided her hand, staring up at the golden nanmu plaque of the Qiao family mansion with an inscrutable expression.

Qiao Yu followed her gaze, straightening her back, and said, "Our Lu family lacks everything, except money."

Lu Shangyi remained indifferent and unresponsive. Qiao Yu then hinted, "My dad has prepared a full five million in cash, ten buildings, and twenty sports cars as my dowry for getting married." Qiao Yu was quite fond of this wealthy and generous father. "I wonder which lucky omega lady will be able to receive these gifts in the future."

"When I get married, I will hand over all my salary card and everything else. My wife will just need to give me a little pocket money every week."

Lu Shangyi finally reacted, but asked about something else, "Are you very familiar with Song Wanzi?"

Qiao Yu was secretly delighted. Was he already jealous? She quickly shook her head in denial, "We're not close." After a pause, she nodded guiltily, "We're alright."

Fearing that Lu Shangyi might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "But that's all because one of my good friends really likes her, so I've been trying to help her pursue Sister Song recently."

Lu Shangyi was skeptical. Should she help her best friend pursue him or help herself?

She's so young, she hasn't even differentiated yet, but she's already always thinking about what she can't have. Once she differentiates into an alpha, won't she turn the entire capital upside down?

"Chu Mi, the artist who competes with Song Wanzi," Lu Shangyi lowered her head, her gaze containing an indescribable meaning, "is an artist from my company."

What?

Qiao Yu was momentarily stunned. Chu Mi? An artist in Lu Shangyi's company? Qiao Yu's gaze gradually became blank. So, it meant—she deliberately offended Lu Shangyi by going to Tang Shu to steal Chu Mi's endorsement in order to curry favor with Jiang Mei and Song Wanzi?!

Good heavens! Isn't she just asking for trouble?!

Qiao Yu was filled with remorse, but still wanted to make one last attempt, though Lu Shangyi had already walked inside. Qiao Yu followed dejectedly behind her and asked the system, "How could such a blunder happen in the world?"

“Oh, I forgot.” Qiao Yu stopped in her tracks. “The fact that you and I are stuck here and can’t go back is the most unbelievable and speechless thing in the world.”

The system felt as if it had been struck hard in the knee. "Host, I am trying my best to find a way home."

Qiao Yu immediately sneered, "You'd better be here."

The family doctor was already waiting in the side room. When he saw Lu Shangyi, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it was gone in an instant, and he quickly regained his composure. Qiao Yu hurriedly seized the opportunity to be friendly, "Sister Lu, she's not feeling well. Could you please take a look at her for me?"

The doctor nodded and was about to approach when Lu Shangyi's gaze turned cold. The doctor instinctively looked at Qiao Yu, who mustered her courage and grabbed Lu Shangyi's wrist. "Your sister's medical skills are excellent; she's especially adept at treating all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases in omegas..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Shangyi refused, saying, "No need, I'm fine now."

She looked as if she would never allow anyone to see a doctor for her. Qiao Yu assumed she was afraid of pain, injections, and medicine, so she patiently coaxed her, "Sister Lu, it's not good to avoid seeking medical treatment..."

As she was speaking, Lu Shangyi suddenly glanced at her with a faint look, and Qiao Yu unconsciously changed her mind, "It's not that it's not possible."

Lu Shangyi was in much better condition than before. Since she didn't want to see a doctor, Qiao Yu didn't dare force her and had to send the doctor away. After seeing the doctor off, Qiao Yu turned around and asked, "Sister, are you often in so much pain?"

Qiao Yu felt heartbroken; she had no idea being an omega was so tough.

Lu Shangyi didn't respond, but her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Previously, the injections could maintain their effect for a full month, but now the effect was becoming shorter and shorter. She even worried that the medication might suddenly stop working one day.

Lu Shangyi's eyes were dark and unfathomable. Qiao Yu thought she had accidentally touched on a sore spot and upset her, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Lu, if you're not feeling well, would you like to stay at my house for a few days?"

"Don't worry, this house is mine alone. Under normal circumstances, my parents would never set foot on my property." Qiao Yu pointed to the side, "Their own house is right next door."

Lu Shangyi's pheromones were still chaotic. Worried that Lu Shenghui would notice something was wrong, Lu Shangyi went along with it and agreed, "Thank you."

Qiao Yu was overjoyed and quickly went to great lengths to find new clothes for her and help her wash up. Lu Shangyi's clothes were soaked with sweat and were definitely unusable. Although most of her clothes were too small, fortunately, her aunt had prepared several sets of men's sizes, which fit Lu Shangyi perfectly.

Qiao Jinghuai floored the gas pedal, finally arriving home at top speed. Pushing open the iron gate, he saw his daughter playing on her phone on the sofa and immediately slapped her across the face, yelling, "You unfilial daughter!"

Qiao Yu reacted quickly, barely dodging Qiao Jinghuai's attack. She glared at him with a defiant look on her face, "Old man, you have no martial ethics! At your age, you still resort to sneak attacks!"

Qiao Jinghuai rolled his eyes in anger, but he wasn't in the mood to banter with his daughter. He tried to calm himself, "I'm asking you, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, did you abduct a young woman, Lu Shangyi, in front of everyone in the mall and bring her to your home?"

Qiao Jinghuai couldn't help but look around, and by sheer coincidence, his gaze landed on a pair of high heels that were clearly not Qiao Yu's size.

His blood pressure spiked instantly, and Qiao Jinghuai shakily raised his finger, "You, you, you're not even an adult yet! How can your mind be filled with such lewd nonsense every day!"

Qiao Yu felt something was wrong as she listened, and she quickly slapped away her father's trembling fingers, "What the hell?"

She pondered for a moment, then reacted strongly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't tarnish my reputation as an honest person!" Qiao Yu put her hands on her hips, "It was clearly me who acted bravely and kindly, and I saw that Sister Lu was not feeling well, so I kindly took her home."

Qiao Yu said angrily, "Who exactly are these people who are spreading rumors and smearing my innocence? If I catch them, I'll scratch their faces until they're covered in bruises!"

Qiao Jinghuai gave a cold laugh, "Trying to take someone home out of kindness?"

"And then you accidentally sent it back to your own house?"

"Of course..." Seeing that Qiao Jinghuai's expression was not good, Qiao Yu immediately lost her confidence, but she still argued, "Although I have selfish motives, I absolutely did not think of doing anything to her. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Lu yourself after she finishes taking a bath."

Qiao Jinghuai raised his head, and Lu Shangyi's gaze swept over Qiao Yu. Her red lips curled slightly, and Qiao Yu immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Lu Shangyi said unhurriedly, "Just now in the car—"

Qiao Jinghuai's heart raced instantly, and he unconsciously began to calculate in his mind how much he would have to pay to quell the Lu family's anger.

"She touched my hand."

"You dare to take advantage of her?!" How dare you take advantage of a girl from the Lu family?

Seeing that there was no way to explain, Qiao Yu quickly slipped away. Qiao Jinghuai was furious and hurriedly apologized to Lu Shangyi, "Miss Lu, I'm sorry. My daughter is young and playful. If she has offended you in any way, I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against her because of her young age."

Lu Shangyi pulled her clothes tighter. "Boss Qiao has misunderstood. She did help me today."

“However, there’s something I don’t quite understand.” Lu Shangyi’s expression was cold: “Qiao Yu is getting close to Song Wanzi… is that the Qiao family’s idea?”

Qiao Jinghuai suddenly felt dizzy. Song Wanzi? That's an alpha with top-tier genes! What is Qiao Yu, a minor, doing getting so close to her? Isn't she afraid of being taken advantage of as soon as she comes of age? He doesn't want to become a grandfather in the prime of his life.

"No, no, you misunderstand. Our Qiao family absolutely did not mean that." Qiao Jinghuai quickly distanced himself from the situation. "It's all because my daughter is so audacious and flirts with other men. But Miss Lu, don't worry, I will definitely teach her a lesson when we get back, and she will never cause you any more trouble in the future."

"I apologize for disturbing you today. I'll send someone to take you home right away. Young Master Lu is very worried about you."

Lu Shangyi, however, was unwilling to leave. "Qiao Yu just asked me to stay a few more days."

"I agreed. I feel very safe with her by my side."

Qiao Jinghuai was immediately filled with bitterness. You're relieved now, but I'll have to sleep in fear from now on.

But Qiao Jinghuai couldn't very well refuse her and force her to go back. Qiao Yu secretly hid behind a pillar and watched for a long time, very puzzled. What did Sister Lu say to her father? She cautiously walked out and said, "Dad, you look much more mature now than before."

Qiao Jinghuai thought his daughter was going to praise him, so he asked expectantly, "Oh? How so?"

"You look a full twenty years older than you did just now."

Qiao Jinghuai: "..."

Qiao Jinghuai suddenly didn't want to deal with his mischievous daughter. He picked up his briefcase, bent down to put on his shoes, and prepared to leave. Just then, he heard Qiao Yu's crisp voice behind him—

"Dad, I've been helping my friend pursue his girlfriend lately, and I also need to take good care of Sister Lu's daily needs these days. So, Dad, could you give me some money? I don't have enough money of my own."

"How much do you want? Is five million enough?"

"That's enough, thank you Dad! Dad is so good!"

"No need to thank me. You are my precious daughter. If I don't give you money, who will? Wait for me to get back to the company and I'll have someone transfer the money to you right away."

"Okay, Dad, I love you!"

"Dad loves you too."

Qiao Jinghuai listened to Qiao Yu's monologue with a blank expression, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Qiao Yu, if you're really that bored, go find a jail to sit in."
