Chapter 26 Ji Qian didn't dare wake her up...

Ji Qian didn't dare to wake her up, but carefully packed her luggage and opened the door a little.

"where you go?"

The omega who had just opened the door paused, then slowly turned around and saw the alpha sitting up on the bed.

Ji Qian paused for a moment, her lips moving slightly, "I have to catch a train. I have to go there and won't be back for half a month."

"You stay here and behave yourself. I'll come back and tell you something." He added, looking at the alpha on the bed, who stood there somewhat at a loss.

How strange, it feels like he's sneaking away from her, afraid of being caught.

Ji Qian thought to herself while waiting for the alpha to speak.

He glanced up at her and noticed that the alpha was sitting there silently, taking up most of the bed when he sat up, and there were scratches on his body from yesterday, which he didn't know when he had left them.

"I...I'm leaving now." His voice was weak, and he felt inexplicably guilty.

"Come here for a moment." Alpha's voice suddenly appeared, a little hoarse.

He hesitated as he was about to close the door and leave. The room was dimly lit, and the air was still filled with pheromones that had been circulating all night.

The person on the bed was staring intently at him; it certainly wasn't anything good.

He opened his mouth, his beautiful and delicate face gleaming in the interplay of light and shadow, "What is it? You can say it like that."

Why do you want to call him over?

There are things you shouldn't say like that.

Ji Qian pushed her luggage out first, and seeing that the person still didn't speak, she mumbled, "Then I'll go first, you get some rest."

Ji Qian closed the door, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at her phone, and then pushed her luggage out the door.

The trip went smoothly without any unexpected events.

Ji Qian got into the car, not dressed as plainly as usual, perhaps because she was afraid of being criticized for her appearance when she got home.

He leaned against it, gripping his phone tightly, looking somewhat uneasy.

Is it just a trip back?

Ji Qian subconsciously touched the back of her neck, where she had been temporarily marked the night before.

There's no need to stay there for half a month; it's just that the estrus cycle happens around that time.

Once they get home, will they still pressure him into an arranged marriage? He's been temporarily marked, more than once; a normal alpha would probably reject an omega like him.

What could he possibly use to keep the alpha? His money was utterly unattractive compared to the alpha's future marriage prospects. So what could he use? This most despicable yet irresistible method? Forcing her to take responsibility? But he didn't want her to take responsibility for him for life.

Alpha's personality can be too awful at times. If we were to be together for a lifetime, she would bully me to death from the very beginning. Besides, we've only known each other for less than two months.

Will she abuse him? Will she dislike children? Will she have other bad habits?

Ji Qian frowned slightly, pressing her palm against her abdomen, still hoping there was a child there.

He also spent almost a month in bed with the alpha. A month is enough time for him to get pregnant.

Alpha is very healthy. He doesn't drink or smoke and occasionally goes to the gym provided in the community to work out.

He'll have a child eventually, otherwise it would be too lonely for him to be all alone for the rest of his life.

...

"You've been leaving early all month, why aren't you leaving early today?" her colleague asked.

Jiang Shi leaned back and said, "I'm free today, so I'll stay a little longer."

"They all say you've hooked up with someone, is that true?" a colleague whispered.

Jiang Shi didn't speak, but stared at her. "You guys don't just talk about this kind of thing all the time, do you? You start talking about this as soon as I leave?"

"No, it's just that you've been acting strangely this past month. You still have omega pheromones on you," your colleague gently reminded you. "Your omega pheromones are very strong."

No wonder they were discussing it. The alpha, who had always been aloof and indifferent to omegas, suddenly found herself covered in omega pheromones over the past month. Given her personality, she was either forced into being kept by a sugar daddy or how could she possibly have slept with an omega so quickly?

"Speaking of which, if it's true, your omega is really clingy. Are you alright? I've heard some omegas are quite adept in bed."

When the alpha heard the pheromones, it lowered its head and sniffed its arm without saying a word.

Her colleague's eyes darted around, still more concerned about whether she could leave. "Didn't you prepare for some exam? Did you pass it?"

Before Jiang Shi could speak, an omega walked towards them.

"I need to talk to Jiang Shi about something. You can go and do your own thing."

An omega approached and spoke softly to the alpha next to Jiang Shi.

Seeing this, the colleague quickly and discreetly left.

“Jiang Shi.” He stood in front of the alpha, took out a card from his bag, and said, “There’s five million in here. Come with me.”

Jiang Shi paused for a moment, then said, "How many times has this happened? Can you stop for a second? Where's your alpha?"

"How can I have peace and quiet? Every time I run into you, you're covered in omega pheromones. If you had just said you'd pay me, I definitely would have given you the money. We've known each other for years, why don't you consider the order of arrival?" he said unhappily.

Jiang Shi took a step back. "I still have to go to work. If you don't have any other questions, I'll head over now."

"Jiang Shi," he stopped the alpha, looking aggrieved, "Why? What else did he give you?"

Jiang Shi thought for a moment, "Why? I don't need any reason right now. I'm not short of money and have no intention of looking for another job."

Does being kept once mean you have to be kept a second and third time? Who knows what methods these omegas use?

"Stop messing around, I have to go to work. It wouldn't be good if your alpha saw me," Jiang Shi said dismissively. "I'm going now."

"By the way, I like older women, the kind who dress more conservatively. You know, alphas tend to prefer someone who is obedient and well-behaved. The guy who's keeping me now listens to me a lot. He doesn't even care about his alpha anymore and just sleeps in bed with me."

He paused, his mind still reeling, and instinctively replied, "I can listen to you too."

Jiang Shi: ...

"I'm leaving now."

Jiang Shi walked around him and headed towards the entrance of the residential area, looking down at his phone as he went.

It's been seven days since the exam ended, so we should have received a reply by now.

Jiang Shi felt that this was not a very stable job. If their alpha found out about this, he would have to leave whether he wanted to or not, and might even have to go to the hospital.

If not here, where else can we go?

For the first time, Jiang Shi felt there was nowhere to go outside. Begging was definitely out of the question; she would surely be arrested and forced to write a self-criticism. Besides, she wasn't old enough to go back to her old ways.

Besides, this place is only so big. If I wander around outside and run into an old acquaintance, I might get arrested again.

Although she may not be favored now, and may even have left this planet. At her age, she doesn't look 17 or 18 anymore, and she hasn't done any skincare, so she definitely can't compare to when she was that age.

Jiang Shi put his phone in his pocket and walked towards his colleagues, not paying attention to what was going on with the omega behind him.

"What did you say to that homeowner? He didn't look too happy. It would be bad if he complained." Her colleague stared at her with a hint of jealousy, seeing that she came over like this without any concern for the homeowner's well-being.

They dared not offend the people in this kind of community, and they almost bowed their heads to apologize.

Being complained about once means you have to resign. But Jiang Shi, despite not having a good attitude and always bowing and scraping, has never been complained about. In fact, Manager Yao takes good care of her.

“He said the flowers in the neighborhood had withered and told me to clean them all up,” Jiang Shihu said.

"That's it?"

"Okay." Jiang Shi went into the security room, sat at his workstation, and didn't go out again.

She stared out the window, wondering what she could do if she quit her job.

Ji Qian doesn't seem to intend to keep her as a sugar daddy long-term. The fact that she comes back every two weeks to tell her something might mean she's tired of her and wants to find a different alpha.

As long as you live honestly, the money you have can indeed last for a long time.

If you can't get through the special talent channel, you'll almost certainly have no chance left.

Someone like her, without education or a backup plan, can only circulate in this city and may never even be able to leave.

Jiang Shi thought that the person had been gone for three or four days, and might already be getting intimate with his alpha.

They weren't necessarily intimate, after all, she had marked him temporarily before he left.

They can only hug each other once at most.

Jiang Shi was puzzled as to why he, with her pheromones on him, would go and stay with his alpha. Was his alpha really that magnanimous?

Jiang Shi recalled the way the omega looked beneath her, but since she was his lover, she had no grounds to criticize him.

In a few days, it should be his heat cycle. During his heat, will he still be able to hang out with his alpha?

Jiang Shi stared at the window, holding the black pen in his hand, his mind filled with these thoughts.

It's a cloudy day today, and the wind is very strong outside.

When the time came, Jiang Shi didn't go back. Instead, he changed his clothes and went to a nearby supermarket to buy food.

Alpha's hair had grown a bit long. He had only taken off his work jacket and was now wearing a sweater. He wasn't wearing any extra jewelry, which made his striking features appear gentler, unlike someone who seemed to be playing around.

The supermarket wasn't crowded at this time. Jiang Shi put the items in the shopping cart and quickly selected what she needed.

Back on the seventh floor of the building, Jiang Shi did not encounter any other residents.

She went back inside, put everything in the refrigerator, and then sat on the sofa, looking down at her phone.

Logically, she should have been relaxed.

But right now, all she can think about is an omega. It's not some extraneous feeling; it's a feeling that's been cultivated entirely in bed.

It's not that she's currently troubled by anything, but rather by the things she has to do right now. At this time before, she would have been cuddling and being affectionate with an omega.

What am I doing now? Jiang Shi stared at his phone, his dark eyes fixed on the screen, where no messages had been sent yet.

It was completely dark outside, and Alpha was the only person in the living room.

If she were to go to the place he went to, it would take her two days, and she would need to confirm her eligibility to go in advance.

By the time she got there, everyone had already done what they were supposed to do.
