Qiao Yu had a bellyful of excuses, but when it came time to explain, she couldn't utter a word. Sensing a dangerous undercurrent, Qiao Yu unconsciously straightened her back, silently took two steps back, and under the intense gazes of Lu Shangyi, Song Wanzi, and Jiang Mei, forced herself to speak, "It's nothing."

She tried to appear genuinely surprised and changed the subject, "Sister Song, what brings you here?"

Song Wanzi's red lips curved into a half-smile, and she instantly understood the implication in her words. She laughed uncooperatively, "Your Sister Lu can come, but I can't?"

That's not what she meant. Qiao Yu was speechless for a moment. "No, I just found it surprising. After all, you're so busy every day, and you also have to balance rest and promoting your new movie." She scratched her neck and couldn't help but gently nudge Jiang Mei with her elbow, winking at her wildly.

Jiang Mei's dark eyes were full of doubt. "You don't welcome her?"

Qiao Yu nearly died on the spot, frantically shaking her head, "No, no." Noticing Song Wanzi's increasingly displeased gaze, Qiao Yu quickly said, "What I meant was that I'm a little dizzy, so I wanted to ask you to help me a bit."

A barely audible chuckle rang out. Lu Shangyi stepped between the two to pay the fare, her gaze lingering meaningfully on Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu felt guilty and avoided her gaze, saying, "Thank you, sister."

Lu Shangyi wrapped her shawl tighter around herself and walked at the front with a dignified and elegant posture. "It's chilly outside. If you're not feeling well, go back to your room early."

Qiao Yu clung tightly to Jiang Mei, trying to use Jiang Mei to block Song Wanzi's view. But then she suddenly remembered that there was a couple here, and her hand on Jiang Mei's arm froze. She was torn between putting it down and not putting it down, and she was so conflicted that she almost went bald.

Fortunately, Song Wanzi didn't seem to mind the physical intimacy between her and Jiang Mei, only glancing at it briefly without paying much attention.

Qiao Yu let out a soft sigh. She shouldn't have listened to Meng E; she should have gone to Heaven on Earth with Jiang Mei. Heaven on Earth was so lively! She could peek around and get more omega contacts—wasn't that better than Four Corners of Fragrance?

Qiao Yu is now filled with regret. If she hadn't been penniless, she would have run away on the spot.

After entering the room, Lu Shangyi took off her shawl and turned to look at her with an elegant and noble demeanor. "Want some late-night snacks?"

Qiao Yu moved her lips, but before she could refuse, Song Wanzi had already agreed on her behalf, "Okay."

The nanny immediately went into the kitchen to get busy. Qiao Yu glared resentfully at the nanny's back. Lu Shangyi and Song Wanzi had only been in the house for a short time, and she was already listening to them. They didn't seem to respect her, the real owner, at all. As if sensing her dissatisfaction, the nanny turned around. "Yu Yu, do you have any objections?"

Lu Shangyi and Song Wanzi had indifferent eyes and faint smiles. After a moment of silence, Qiao Yu shook her head, clearly lacking confidence, "No, no."

She gradually became aware of her social status. Not to mention in front of Lu Shangyi and Song Wanzi, she didn't dare to act presumptuously even in front of Jiang Mei. She secretly wiped away a tear of bitterness, "If the accident hadn't happened back then, I might be married three times by now."

Qiao Yu's obedient behavior pleased the two of them. Lu Shangyi was already familiar with Qiao Yu's home, but she didn't expect that Song Wanzi would sit so naturally on her favorite little sofa. Qiao Yu looked at Song Wanzi, then at Jiang Mei, and had no choice but to sit down next to her on the large sofa.

Before she could even settle into her seat, Song Wanzi had already moved her red lips and said slowly, "Yuyu said you're my fan."

She looked at Jiang Mei and said, "So what do you think of my new movie?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the fleeting confusion in Jiang Mei's eyes and immediately understood. Song Wanzi gently picked up her teacup, smiling without saying a word. Jiang Mei's questioning gaze turned to Qiao Yu, whose scalp tightened, and a bad premonition slowly rose in her heart.

She quickly pretended to scratch her face to cover her expression, her almond-shaped eyes full of pleading—"Save me, save me."

Jiang Mei stared at her without moving, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became suffocating. The smile on Qiao Yu's lips began to fade, and her erratic glances betrayed her inner unease. It was very quiet around them, so quiet that Qiao Yu could clearly feel Song Wanzi's probing gaze on her.

As Qiao Yu gradually gave up on herself and was about to throw caution to the wind and confess everything, Jiang Mei responded, "I haven't seen it yet."

He spoke in a calm and indifferent tone, recounting a mundane matter: "I've been preparing for exams lately, so I haven't had time."

Song Wanzi gave Qiao Yu a meaningful look, and Qiao Yu unconsciously straightened her back, pretending to be calm and composed. Song Wanzi said with a hint of regret, "That's a real pity."

Song Wanzi stopped asking about the new movie and instead chatted with Lu Shangyi about adult topics. Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost been scared out of her wits by Song Wanzi. She quickly pulled Jiang Mei aside and deliberately lowered her voice to ask her, "Tell me honestly, what do you think of Sister Song?"

“Very good,” Jiang Mei said.

Changing the subject, she lowered her voice, her tone carrying an ambiguous meaning, "And what about you?"

What do you think of her?

After saying that, Jiang Mei silently held her breath. She had prepared herself mentally, and whatever answer Qiao Yu gave, she told herself to accept it calmly.

Qiao Yu was puzzled, but still answered honestly, "I also think Sister Song is very nice. She's beautiful, has a slim waist, long legs, and is rich." Qiao Yu emphasized, "Very rich."

She only realized how little money she had when she needed it, and now all she could see was worldly money.

“However,” Qiao Yu blinked, “didn’t you develop any special feelings for Sister Song, like any kind of affection?”

Jiang Mei's face remained calm, her dark eyes showing no emotion. "You want to know?"

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Yu nodded. Jiang Mei's eyes were dark, and she spoke without any restraint, "No."

Qiao Yu was shocked, but Jiang Mei showed no intention of explaining and directly changed the subject to the exam. Qiao Yu was a little disappointed; she had thought she could be a fan of the couple, but who would have thought that the former jealous queen was now only focused on studying?

Qiao Jinghuai returned home weary from his journey and found the house next door brightly lit. He glanced at the two cars parked in the yard, and almost without thinking, he pushed open the gate and went inside. The moment he opened the double doors, Qiao Jinghuai immediately regretted it.

The scene he least wanted to see has appeared.

Lu Shangyi had already seen him. "Boss Qiao."

Qiao Jinghuai had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside. "I just came to see if Yuyu was studying hard, I didn't expect Miss Song to be here too." With his briefcase tucked under his arm, Qiao Jinghuai stood at the door. "Did I disturb you?"

"Dad!" Qiao Yu was very agitated when she saw Qiao Jinghuai. She made a quick turn and rushed in front of him, almost tripping over her slippers in the process. "Why did you freeze my bank card without my permission?"

Qiao Jinghuai felt a headache coming on whenever he saw her, but when he noticed Jiang Mei in the corner, he automatically ignored his daughter's question, "Who is that?"

Qiao Yu snorted coldly, "My friend, Jiang Mei."

"Hello, hello." Qiao Jinghuai immediately changed his attitude. "Yuyu is naughty. We are so grateful to you for taking care of her at school all these years. On behalf of my whole family, I thank you."

His disregard made Qiao Yu very unhappy. She narrowed her eyes and approached Qiao Jinghuai. "Dad, if my bank card is not unfrozen by tomorrow, I will," she threatened fiercely, "I will let those three defile my body on the spot!"

Qiao Jinghuai's face twitched. What bad luck.

He remained unmoved, and even tried to turn away to avoid suspicion, saying, "Then you go and try."

Qiao Yu frowned. Nothing worked? A wave of sorrow washed over her. She pulled out a small handkerchief and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. "Man, you've changed. All those vows of eternal love and domineering affection were just lies." Her tone shifted, and Qiao Yu gripped her phone, threatening fiercely, "I'm going to tell my mother!"

“Okay.” Qiao Jinghuai remained unmoved. “However, your mother went to bed early today, so I advise you not to disturb her at this time.”

Qiao Yu: "..." The beautiful woman was speechless.

Disturbing her elderly mother's sleep would have serious consequences. Qiao Yu thought about the last outcome and suddenly realized, "Fine, okay, she's just a little cabbage in the field, nobody cares about her or loves her."

After preparing the meal, Qiao Jinghuai politely declined Lu Shangyi's invitation. Qiao Yu pulled Jiang Mei to sit down at the long table, while Song Wanzi quietly sat down on Qiao Yu's other side, subtly and warmly attending to Qiao Yu with her elegant demeanor, saying, "Try this."

His smiling tone, sexy husky voice, and affectionate eyes captivated Qiao Yu, making her fall in love again and again.

The surrounding temperature suddenly turned cold, and Qiao Yu shivered, instantly waking up. Qiao Yu stiffened, feeling extremely embarrassed that Song Wanzi was taking care of her like this in front of Jiang Mei.

Qiao Yu cautiously declined, "No need, Sister Song, I'm not very hungry yet." She stared at the pointed piece of meat in the bowl, "Why don't you give some to Jiang Mei too?"

Song Wanzi chuckled softly, but did not refuse. When it was time for her second bite, Jiang Mei turned her bowl aside, saying, "I'm already full."

Qiao Yu was instantly terrified; she was jealous! She was furious!

Song Wanzi's gentleness and thoughtfulness instantly turned into a death knell. Qiao Yu dared not move, her pleading eyes immediately turning to the leisurely Lu Shangyi. Noticing the child's soft gaze, Lu Shangyi leisurely raised his eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

Qiao Yu frantically winked and made faces, but Lu Shangyi seemed completely oblivious, gently supporting her forehead with one hand, her face full of innocence, "Are you feeling unwell?"

In an instant, Song Wanzi's eyes turned to her. "Did I make you feel uncomfortable?"

Qiao Yu broke out in a cold sweat and gave a guilty laugh. "No, no, how could that be?" She racked her brains, trying to think. "I just suddenly remembered that I think I got a question wrong."

After saying that, she ate her food in big mouthfuls, stuffing her cheeks full, and finished the bowl of rice in the blink of an eye. Then she quickly stood up and said in a muffled voice, "Sisters, you eat first. I need to go back to my room to study."

After running a few steps, she turned back to look at Jiang Mei, who had also put down her chopsticks. Feeling it wasn't very kind of her to leave Jiang Mei alone down there, she turned back and grabbed Jiang Mei's hand. "I haven't mastered that knowledge point yet. Can you explain it to me?"

Fearing that Lu Shangyi and Song Wanzi would try to keep her, Qiao Yu mustered all her strength and rushed into the bedroom. After finally managing to swallow the food in her mouth, Qiao Yu choked and rolled her eyes several times. Jiang Mei considerately handed her a glass of water, and Qiao Yu, without even a thank you, downed half the bottle in one gulp.

After a while, Qiao Yu wiped her lips and said, "I've realized that gathering all the main characters won't summon the dragon, it will kill me."

The system put the water aside, somewhat worried, "But is it alright to leave Sister Lu and Sister Song alone like this?"

Qiao Yu asked, puzzled, "What problem could there be?"

Sister Lu is an omega who can be blown over by a gust of wind, while Sister Song is an alpha who can uproot a willow tree. Surely Sister Song wouldn't bully a weak woman like Sister Lu?

Qiao Yu slipped away quickly, and Song Wanzi regretfully put down her chopsticks, clearly having no intention of enjoying the food. Her gaze shifted to Lu Shangyi, who was taking small bites, and she asked, "Aren't you afraid of gaining weight eating so late?"

Lu Shangyi swallowed a small mouthful, without even lifting her eyelids, and said in a flat tone, "I won't gain weight."

The atmosphere instantly tensed. Song Wanzi smiled charmingly, but unfortunately, the smile didn't reach her eyes. "You're starting to look a bit like an alpha now."

The knife and fork gently clinked against the plate. Lu Shangyi didn't respond, and Song Wanzi didn't press further. The atmosphere was calm yet suffocating.

After hearing what the system said, Qiao Yu was indeed a little uneasy. After helping Jiang Mei set up the room, Qiao Yu secretly slipped to the door to quietly observe the situation downstairs. From her angle, Song Wanzi and Lu Shangyi were chatting and laughing. Lu Shangyi had her back to her, so she couldn't see the expression on her face, but judging from Song Wanzi's appearance, she could imagine that the two were having a very pleasant conversation.

Qiao Yu felt incredibly jealous. After sneaking downstairs, she went to the house next to her parents' house, only to find that her mother was not asleep.

Qiao Yu remained motionless against the door until she startled the couple who were embracing sweetly. Only then did she push the door open and peek her head in. "Mr. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao, you two look so loving. Can I join your family and live with you?"

She looked sincere, but Qiao Jinghuai gave her a sharp look without any politeness, saying, "You look like you have some kind of serious illness."

Mrs. Qiao was a dignified and elegant socialite. Although she was a delicate omega, her aura was not to be underestimated. After releasing Qiao Jinghuai, Mrs. Qiao beckoned to Qiao Yu, who quickly ran inside to complain, "Mom, Dad froze my bank card."

"If he acts like this, I can't help you find a wife!" Qiao Yu said, on the verge of tears. "This is simply outrageous!"

“I asked him to freeze your card,” Mrs. Joe said.

Qiao Yu was speechless for a moment, so let's just pretend she didn't say anything.

"Take the day off tomorrow and come with me to get a genetic match."

"Genetic matching?" Qiao Yu's eyes lit up slightly, like an innocent little puppy. "Mom, are you finally going to introduce me to a boyfriend?!"

That's great! She couldn't wait. "But can't we go now?"

"But everyone should be resting by now, right? What a pity."

Mrs. Qiao stared at her daughter expressionlessly. "You can go now."

Qiao Yu: "?!" It really is open 24 hours a day?

Mrs. Qiao gave up her beauty sleep to accompany Qiao Yu to get a suitable genetic match. If Qiao Yu dared to refuse, her mother would definitely chop her head off on the spot. After getting ready for most of the day, Qiao Yu was sore and aching. The matching results would be available tomorrow, and Qiao Yu was a little excited.

"Oh my God! I wonder who in this world is so lucky to be my princess," she thought, clasping her hands in prayer. "Is it Sister Lu? Or Sister Lu?"

Although Sister Lu's health is a bit poor, she is incredibly soft to the touch, and most importantly, she has a good personality.

When Qiao Yu was sent home, Song Wanzi had already been picked up by her agent. Qiao Yu saw Lu Shangyi still sitting on the sofa on the first floor. Her black hair was neatly tied up, her porcelain-white profile was charming and deep, and the curve from her forehead to her chin was smooth and beautiful. Her fine eyelashes were slightly curled, and when she looked down at the iPad, her light-colored lips were full and soft. Every cell in her body exuded a captivating charm.

Lu Shangyi has perfect proportions; even when she sits with her legs bent, the superior length of her legs is still evident. She simply draped a coat over her shoulders, exuding a gentle and tender charm, yet also subtly displaying an imposing and aloof aura.

Qiao Yu ran over, her heart pounding, her voice full of anticipation, "Sister Lu, were you waiting for me to come back?"

Lu Shangyi suppressed the slight surprise in her eyes, "I suppose so."

Ignoring the word "calculate," Qiao Yu was overjoyed and told him everything about her recent trip. "Sister Lu, my mother and I went for genetic matching." She smiled confidently, "I'm sure I'll match you."

As the future number one alpha in the capital, shouldn't he be paired with at least ten omegas?

Lu Shangyi is one of the best omegas. If they are not suitable, then it must be a problem with the organization.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shangyi paused in her tapping of the iPad, but her tone remained calm, "You went to do the matching?"

Qiao Yu blinked blankly, "Yes. As soon as the results come out, I'll take them to your house to propose marriage." Qiao Yu began to list her advantages to Lu Shangyi, "Although I'm still studying and my family background can't compare to yours, as long as you're willing to marry me, I will absolutely not tolerate anyone bullying you."

She paused, then added, "Except for me."

A fleeting smile seemed to flash across Lu Shangyi's eyes, disappearing in an instant. "Impossible."

Qiao Yu didn't know if she meant that their genes couldn't possibly match, or that she couldn't possibly bully her, but after thinking about it carefully, Qiao Yu felt that the latter was more likely. Last time, she was easily suppressed by Lu Shangyi and couldn't even move, and she still felt lingering fear when she thought about it.

But wouldn't it be even better if it were at a different time and in a different place? Anyway, she doesn't care whether she's on top or on the bottom.

Qiao Yu didn't sleep well all night, and the first thing she thought about when she opened her eyes in the morning was the matching results. After anxiously waiting for half a day at school, Mrs. Qiao finally sent over the electronic document. Qiao Yu was so excited that she didn't dare to look at it and quickly handed her phone to Meng E, "Quickly, help me take a look, quickly, help me take a look!"

Jiang Mei stopped in her tracks, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Although she knew that two alphas were unlikely, and even if two alphas were possible, she was unlikely to be among Qiao Yu's match partners, a faint hope still rose involuntarily in her heart.

What if?

What if she has a chance?

Qiao Yu's reaction was so strong that Meng E also became nervous. Her fingers gripping the phone trembled slightly. Meng E squinted and opened the electronic document cautiously. "I'm going to open my eyes to look..." Before she could finish speaking, Meng E's surprised voice rang out, "Jiang Mei?"

Qiao Yu was stunned. "???" Isn't this supposed to be an alpha female lead?

Just as she was about to launch into a tirade, Meng'e's startled voice rang out again, "There's more! There are also matches with a 100% compatibility rate!"

Meng E took a deep breath, her voice filled with disbelief, "It's Song Wanzi!"

Qiao Yu remained silent. Isn't this the alpha female lead's official alpha pairing?

Qiao Yu snatched the phone in disbelief, but Meng E's voice rang out again, "And there's more! There's one more!" She was incredibly excited, "And there's Ms. Ye Yunjian from the Ye family!"

"Yuyu, congratulations! You've been matched with three alphas!"
