Chapter 50
Lu Shangyi's tone was fierce; you could feel the dangerous aura emanating from her even through the screen.
Qiao Yu paused for a moment, then burst out laughing without giving them any face. She simply couldn't imagine the other person hugging and biting her. Besides, what was the point of the two of them nibbling at each other? They couldn't even mark each other.
Qiao Yu didn't take Lu Shangyi's words to heart, because it was obvious that the female lead had turned evil and was now eyeing her, her beautiful foster mother, with covetous intent.
It's understandable that Lu Shangyi wasn't aware of the truth.
Recalling Jiang Mei's ambiguous and unsettling gaze before she left, Qiao Yu felt a jolt of electricity run down her spine.
Fearing that Jiang Mei might suddenly appear from somewhere else without warning, Qiao Yu quickly patted her bottom, grabbed her phone, and fled the scene. She had taken Lu Shangyi's car when she arrived, but since Lu Shangyi wasn't there, she had to go outside and call a ride-hailing service.
The figures in the parking lot finally disappeared stealthily. Lu Shangyi withdrew her gaze, a faint smile curving her rosy lips.
But her smile quickly faded. After her phone vibrated, she saw a message from Qiao Yu: "Is it not allowed?"
The other person seemed to think for a moment before sending a second message: "To be honest, I'm really going to miss you, sister. Although there's no possibility between us anymore, we can still be family!"
Once they become family, won't they be able to see each other more often?
Qiao Yu thought she was incredibly clever, but the person on the other end didn't reply to her message for a long time, as if they didn't have time to check their phone at all. Biting her lip, Qiao Yu worried that Lu Shangyi would misunderstand that she had chosen Lu Shenghui's side, so she said again, "Sister Lu, don't worry, even if I become your niece's person, my heart still belongs to you."
Lu Shangyi laughed instead of getting angry. Did he really want to be her niece-in-law?
Tossing her phone aside, Lu Shangyi raised a hand and pinched the bridge of her nose. Chu Mi opened the car door and, seeing the woman's face, paused helplessly for a couple of seconds. "Still worrying about company matters?"
"No." Lu Shangyi lowered her hand, denying it decisively. Chu Mi tossed her bag onto the back seat, casually asking as she fastened her seatbelt, "Then what is it?"
Is there anything in this world that even Lu Shangyi is powerless to change?
Just as the thought crossed her mind, she heard the woman in the driver's seat, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand, say unhurriedly, "The kid has his eye on my niece."
Chu Mi paused slightly, then widened her eyes in disbelief and looked up at her. That's it?
Her expression was so utterly astonished that Lu Shangyi turned his gaze away indifferently, staring at her with a stern, expressionless face. Chu Mi instantly snapped back to reality, "What's the big deal? Just like before, if I see something I like, I'll just snatch it."
"No."
"What's the difference?" Chu Mi pulled her hat down a bit, then leisurely crossed her arms, ready to catch up on some sleep. "If you really can't bring yourself to do it, then leave it to me."
She blinked in confusion. "Besides, isn't your niece being kept under strict control by Lu Shenghui lately? How come they still have a chance to meet?"
Lu Shangyi didn't even bother to glance at her anymore. As the car slowly started moving, Chu Mi noticed the woman's subtle displeasure. She secretly sized her up a few times. "Seriously? You're serious this time?"
The woman focused on driving and remained silent.
Chu Mi pushed her hat brim up a little in shock, and laughed gleefully, "Oh dear, this is going to be a bit difficult." She seemed afraid that Lu Shangyi would be in a good mood, "The little boy and your niece have known each other for so long, they can be considered childhood sweethearts."
"Isn't it natural for childhood sweethearts to grow up and get together?"
Chu Mi laughed unrestrainedly, and Lu Shangyi suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road. "You sit in the back."
She was clearly serious, so Chu Mi quickly grabbed the handrail. "Just kidding, just kidding." Lu Shangyi didn't react at all, so Chu Mi quickly tried to appease her. "They say childhood sweethearts can't beat someone who falls from the sky, and that couldn't be more true for you two."
The car then started moving again. Chu Mi, relieved to have escaped death, patted her chest with lingering fear. "But didn't your niece go on a blind date with Song Wanzi a while ago? What happened? It didn't work out?"
"It didn't work out." Lu Shangyi's red lips twitched slightly. "And it's impossible for it to work out."
"That's true. Although your niece was adopted later in life, she's very much like you in some ways." So patient, so profound, so...
Cunning and calculating.
However, Jiang Mei is still far inferior to Lu Shangyi.
Lu Shangyi has been cunning since she was a child. While other girls were being disliked by their parents and elders for being naughty and immature, she already knew how to please adults and had 99% of the elders around her praising her to the skies.
When it comes to dogs, no one can compare to Lu Shangyi.
After returning home, Qiao Yu lay down on the sofa. Her increasingly frail body left her so exhausted that she didn't even want to move a finger, especially after experiencing three rounds of intimidation from Ye Yunjian, Jiang Mei, and Lu Shangyi today. She could swear on her heart that she had never experienced so many thrilling things in her entire life.
Qiao Yu was a little tired, so she grabbed a pillow and pressed it under her elbow, her eyelids drooping as she dozed off.
As Bai Yiyu walked into the courtyard, she saw the girl curled up on the sofa, looking listless. Her long, straight black hair was spread out on the bed, her face was sleepy, and her eyelids under her fine eyelashes seemed to be closed, yet not completely closed. She looked extremely tired.
Under the soft light, her small face had delicate features and fair skin. Her cherry-red lips twitched unconsciously beneath her pert nose, making one's heart skip a beat.
Qiao Yu was only covered by a thin blanket. Her waist was deeply concave, with slender and alluring lines. Her two calves, exposed to the air, were long and straight, with delicate ankles that were thin and slender, exuding a fragile beauty that could not be broken, making people involuntarily feel a desire to protect her.
As if sensing the thoughts of the onlookers, the pheromones emanating from the other person wafted over with all their might, mingling with the faint fragrance of the girl, stirring the heart.
Bai Yiyu suddenly felt a bit thirsty.
Bai Yiyu deliberately made loud footsteps to attract the girl's attention, stopping at the doorway and waiting for the girl to come to her senses. After about two seconds, the girl looked over with a slightly bewildered expression in her dark eyes.
Qiao Yu stared at the figure at the door for a long time before finally recognizing the person's face and identity. In an instant, she sprang up from the sofa, her bare feet on the carpet, her expression somewhat bewildered. Seeing that she had reacted, Bai Yiyu walked over to her, "Why are you sleeping here?"
"No, I was playing on my phone." She scratched her cheek sheepishly, then stared at her with curious eyes. "Aunt Bai, why did you decide to play here?"
"I need to talk to your mother about something tonight," Bai Yiyu said. Her gaze swept over the clothes that had slipped off the girl's shoulders before she looked away. "The food is almost ready. Come and eat with us."
Qiao Yu was in a bit of a dilemma. In fact, she had just eaten a lot of snacks and wasn't hungry at all.
Bai Yiyu soon noticed the colorful snack wrappers in the trash can and chuckled almost imperceptibly. Considerately, Bai Yiyu didn't call her out on it, saying, "If you don't have an appetite, you can eat later. I'll ask your mother to save some for you."
"How could I possibly accept that? Bai Yiyu, as a guest, has personally come to invite me. Wouldn't it be incredibly impolite of me to refuse?"
He quickly shook his head, "No need."
Qiao Yu threw off the blanket and turned herself over. "Aunt Bai, wait for me. Let me put on another layer of clothes."
She twisted and turned, her fragrance unexpectedly wafting into Bai Yiyu's nostrils, carrying an intoxicating pheromone that almost overwhelmed Bai Yiyu. Her smiling eyes unconsciously darkened slightly as Bai Yiyu's gaze fell upon the other woman's two fair and tender legs.
Because she was bending over looking for something, her short skirt rode up a bit, revealing glimpses of skin that were incredibly alluring, but the person in question didn't notice at all.
Bai Yiyu politely looked away again, her lips pressed into a straight line.
Qiao Yu picked up her phone after grabbing a sweater and cardigan, only to see Bai Yiyu looking completely magnanimous. Perhaps because she grew up in a military compound, the woman's back was ramrod straight, and her gaze was fixed straight ahead, so upright that no one could suspect she had any ill intentions.
A soft gaze swept from Bai Yiyu's head to her feet, and Qiao Yu was inexplicably speechless because of the other party's aloofness towards women.
Bai Yiyu's uprightness isn't a bad thing, it's just... she always feels like she's lost the game without even realizing it.
Hearing her inner thoughts, the system was filled with questions. "Host, when are you going to get rid of this damn competitive spirit of yours?"
“This time is different.” Qiao Yu stared intently at Bai Yiyu for a long time. “This time it’s not about winning or losing.” She said, “It’s mainly because I like to surpass myself and challenge the impossible.”
System: "..." I don't believe you for a second.
Qiao Yu is a good person in every way, except for her rebellious teenage emotions, which can come on suddenly. The more pure and composed Bai Yiyu appears, the more she wants to see the other woman blushing, panting, and unable to control herself.
Her dark eyes darted around a couple of times, and Qiao Yu deliberately moved closer to the other woman, smiling softly, "Aunt Bai, I'm all packed."
Her voice trailed off with an upward inflection, so alluring it made one's bones melt. But that wasn't all; the other person suddenly moved closer, their body exuding a fragrance and pheromones that caught Bai Yiyu off guard. Bai Yiyu's fingers tightened so much that she almost crushed the sofa cushion beneath her.
Qiao Yu smiled innocently, her eyes half-closed. She approached Bai Yiyu discreetly, her light breath brushing against Bai Yiyu's chin and cheek, carrying a deadly allure. She smiled like a newly transformed fairy, her appearance innocent, completely unaware of how ambiguous her actions appeared to others.
The veins on the back of Bai Yiyu's hand, which she unconsciously tightened, were clearly visible, revealing the torment and restraint she was feeling. Yet, on the surface, she remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by the young girl's presence. "Let's go."
She stood up, taking two steps ahead with a hint of fleeing, while Bai Yiyu kept a distance of two or three steps from Qiao Yu, her expression losing its initial gentle demeanor.
She didn't have much interest in the little girl originally. An alpha with a strong will like her could maintain a slight rationality even when she saw an ega during his fever, let alone a woman like Qiao Yu who wasn't in her fever phase.
A hint of doubt flashed in Bai Yiyu's dark eyes. She unconsciously glanced back at Qiao Yu, who was looking dejected and listless. But when she noticed Bai Yiyu's gaze, a glint of light appeared in Qiao Yu's eyes, and she quickly ran to Bai Yiyu's side, naturally and familiarly taking her arm, and softly pleading, "Aunt Bai, wait for me."
Qiao Yu figured it out. A woman like Bai Yiyu, who is harder to warm up than a stone, can't be rushed. You can't rush things. Even if she gets so anxious that her mouth is full of blisters, it won't help.
You should treat Bai Yiyu like a frog being slowly boiled in water, using sweet words to gradually break down her will and get closer to her.
Her soft, boneless arms, wrapped in a fluffy sweater, snuggled closer without any apparent pattern, like being gently entwined by a kitten, making one's heart soften inexplicably. Bai Yiyu wasn't used to close contact with people, and her muscles tensed almost imperceptibly, only relaxing slowly after confirming that the girl wasn't making any unnecessary movements.
Noticing her bare feet on the floor, Bai Yiyu frowned slightly and scolded her in a tone that was neither too loud nor too soft, "Go put your shoes on."
Qiao Yu was a little too lazy to walk any further, so she pointed to the door and said, "I'll put it on right away."
The distance to the door was the same as the distance to the sofa to put on her shoes. After looking at it for a moment, Bai Yiyu tacitly approved of her willfulness. However, she walked very fast, and in a few big strides, she led Qiao Yu to the entrance hall as if flying. Then she stopped, looked at Qiao Yu with her dark and somewhat resolute eyes, and then at the shoes in front of her.
With a slight upward curve of her lips, Qiao Yu glanced around and deliberately chose a pair of small high heels.
The perfect shoe shape accentuated the slender and delicate lines of the ankle, and the arch of the instep was beautiful and alluring. Bai Yiyu remained silent for a while. It wasn't that the shoes were bad, but... she raised her eyelids and stared at the girl's face, "Change into a pair of cotton slippers."
It's just going to my parents' house next door for dinner, there's no need to dress up so formally.
Those in the know thought she was going home for dinner, while those who didn't might have thought she was going home to meet their parents.
Startled by her own thought, Bai Yiyu looked away, her face tightening even more. Qiao Yu leaned against the wall in the entryway, her brows furrowing slightly at the words, "But there's so much snow outside, if we wear slippers, the soles will get wet."
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Qiao Yu suddenly moved closer to Bai Yiyu, almost throwing herself into her arms. "Aunt Bai, can you carry me over?"
Her sweet voice rose at the end, making what was clearly an ambiguous statement sound like a simple rhetorical question, devoid of any ulterior motives. Bai Yiyu turned to look at her, her eyes darkening slightly.
Qiao Yu looked innocent, and seeing that Bai Yiyu didn't speak, she lifted her foot and said, "Then I'd better not change it."
Auntie won't let me hug you, it's no fun.
Since she was so willful, Bai Yiyu could only pull her back and, having no other choice, took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet. "Put these on."
Qiao Yu immediately beamed with joy, her face as radiant and dazzling as a flower in March. "Oh, I'll change right away!" She quickly took the shoes from Bai Yiyu's hand and put them on. Then, Qiao Yu pushed open the entryway door, and, worried that Bai Yiyu might change her mind, deliberately exclaimed in a dramatic voice, staring at the thin layer of white snow on the ground, "Wow! Such thick snow!"
After shouting, she turned to Bai Yiyu expectantly, her implication quite clear.
Bai Yiyu wasn't one to go back on her word, especially since it was only a few dozen steps from here to the next house. She leaned slightly forward, placed her hands on Qiao Yu's fair knees, and with a little effort, lifted her up.
Qiao Yu was very light; holding her in my arms felt like holding a feather, almost weightless.
Surprised for a moment, Bai Yiyu unconsciously put on a stern face and scolded her, "You should eat more vegetables and not be picky about food."
Qiao Yu leaned on her shoulder and laughed. Hearing this, she blinked and teased her, "Aunt Bai, when you're lecturing someone," she paused, and Bai Yiyu thought the girl was going to say that she was scary, but after a moment she said, "Why do you sound so much like an older girlfriend?"
Bai Yiyu didn't understand the word "older than" but she understood the word "girlfriend".
She glared at her, both annoyed and amused, and quickened her pace. "Don't try to take advantage of your aunt."
She hadn't even considered that possibility, but after Qiao Yu's subtle hints, an idea suddenly took root in her mind uncontrollably. A girlfriend? That sounded pretty good.
This warm and cozy girl is perfect for putting in bed during winter.
Perhaps her thoughts had become impure, Bai Yiyu began to feel something was off as she held the person. The skin she touched suddenly started to burn, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation like an electric shock, and the faint scent of pheromones on the tip of her nose gradually intensified. She could almost smell the pleasant scent of shower gel on the skin hidden under the other person's clothes.
Every inch of her body seemed to be trying its best to seduce her.
Qiao Jinghuai was so shocked that he took off his glasses and frantically called out to his wife, "Madam, our little darling is really about to win over your old classmate!"
Having been married to his wife for so many years, he knew quite a few of her friends and knew that she was a person with severe mysophobia. Let alone hugging a woman she wasn't very familiar with, even when she was with Mrs. Qiao, Bai Yiyu would be extra careful not to let herself be contaminated by the scent of those around her.
Qiao Jinghuai once thought that a woman with such severe mysophobia as Bai Yiyu would never find a partner, but little did he know that his little devil had only met the other party a few times and had already caused the other party to break the rules that she had followed for so many years.
Staring at Qiao Yu, who was all smiles in the woman's arms, Qiao Jinghuai was torn between feeling a pang of sadness for his daughter's future and feeling sorry for Bai Yiyu, who was being harassed by his shameless daughter.
After all, if his daughter hadn't been quite pretty, she probably would have been beaten to death long ago.
Hearing the sound, Madam Qiao looked up and saw Bai Yiyu bending down to gently put the girl down. Slightly surprised, Madam Qiao composed herself and said indifferently, "Such a grown woman, doesn't she know how to walk?"
Hearing her mother's scolding, Qiao Yu smiled and didn't argue back.
What do they know? They had gone to great lengths to get some physical contact with Aunt Bai.
It's a pity, though. Bai Yiyu walked this distance without even breaking a sweat, showing no signs of embarrassment whatsoever, and she didn't even blink twice. If it weren't for the faint warmth emanating from her clothes, Qiao Yu would have thought she was an intelligent robot.
Unable to suppress a sigh of regret, Qiao Yu secretly glanced at Bai Yiyu, only to be caught red-handed. Bai Yiyu raised an eyebrow at her, her expression perfectly composed.
Qiao Yu secretly pursed her lips. With her parents around, she naturally couldn't act like a vixen and seduce the other person, but that didn't stop her from diligently serving him food at the dinner table. The couple stared at Bai Yiyu's overflowing bowl, speechless. "Why don't we just give you two a whole table of food?" they thought.
She was being overly enthusiastic. Bai Yiyu, holding the bowl, trembled slightly with her eyelashes. "No need," she said.
Avoiding the eagerly offered chopsticks, Bai Yiyu's voice carried a hint of helplessness, "I can't eat anymore."
Qiao Yu let out a soft "Ah," and said, "Aunt Bai, you have such a small appetite?" She thought that people like Bai Yiyu, who had served in the military, would have a big appetite.
Disappointed, Qiao Yu put the food into her own bowl, glanced at it twice, and then warmly served the other woman a bowl of soup, "Then Auntie, you should drink more of this. It's good for your health and longevity. My mom wouldn't even bother to make it if you weren't here."
The girl was always moving around me. When she moved, her faint pheromones mixed with the breeze and gently brushed past, making my heart itch with desire.
Bai Yiyu endured half the meal, but finally couldn't take it anymore, so she held Qiao Yu's hand and unconsciously raised her voice, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping. The food is getting cold, hurry up and eat."
Qiao Yu gave an "oh," sounding quite disappointed. "System, I've been flirting with her for most of the night, why is she still unmoved?"
This almost made her doubt whether she was a pure woman!
The system smacked its lips, chuckled, and said with a smug grin, "Host, you're really not a woman." Seeing her glare at it fiercely, the system wasn't intimidated and slowly whispered a lewd joke in her ear, "But if you sleep with Aunt Bai at night, maybe you'll be a real woman."
Qiao Yu: "..."
You're so sexy.jpg
However, what the system said was not wrong. After glancing at Bai Yiyu twice, Qiao Yu's gaze unconsciously slid to the other's slender and powerful right hand.
Judging from his bone structure and the strength with which he holds the chopsticks, his technique must be excellent.
The little girl suddenly blushed and stared at her right hand. Bai Yiyu moved her fingertips slightly and understood almost effortlessly.
Unsure of what expression to make, she ended up with no expression at all.
She felt that she must have misunderstood what the other person meant. Maybe Qiao Yu just suddenly realized that her hands were quite pretty, so she stared at them for a few more seconds.
How could such a young girl have so many impure thoughts?
Qiao Yu had intended to continue her emotional conversation with Bai Yiyu, but she left after finishing her meal. Moreover, Madam Qiao seemed to have sensed her thoughts and stopped her, asking, "Have you finished your homework? Have you memorized the vocabulary? Have you done the practice tests? Have you reviewed the important and difficult points?"
After her barrage of criticism, Qiao Yu immediately deflated and lost all interest.
However, tonight wasn't entirely fruitless; at least her relationship with Bai Yiyu had progressed rapidly, and they had already made plans to go out for Japanese food together next time. Qiao Yu smiled happily as she stared at Bai Yiyu's reply on her phone. As she left Ms. Qiao's house and was about to push open the iron gate to her yard, a dark figure suddenly rushed towards her from the side.
Jiang Mei quickly covered her lips, which were about to scream, "Yu Yu."
"It's you?" Qiao Yu was so startled she almost jumped out of her skin. After seeing the female lead's face clearly, Qiao Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief. "Why do you walk so quietly?"
However, the next second, she noticed that Jiang Mei didn't seem to be there.
Just as she raised her head to ask the other person a question, she accidentally met their deep, dark eyes, which exuded a chilling aura of danger.
Qiao Yu unconsciously took a step back, as if she wanted to escape.
But Jiang Mei pressed on relentlessly, until she was cornered in a dark alley with nowhere to escape. The alpha's intense aura enveloped her, and Qiao Yu instinctively reached out to brace herself between herself and Jiang Mei. However, her feeble resistance was easily overwhelmed. Jiang Mei held her tightly in her arms, her voice hoarse, "Why is Bai Yiyu hugging you?"
Qiao Yu was stunned. "You saw it?"
Her question made Jiang Mei laugh out loud. She leaned close to her ear and said, "It wasn't just me, Auntie saw it too."
With her deep eyes fixed on Ega's panicked face, Jiang Mei moved closer and closer, her strong pheromones almost making Qiao Yu's limbs go weak. "Yu Yu, shouldn't you explain?"
Explain? Qiao Yu glanced at her nervously. "If I explain, will you believe me?"
She remained silent for a long time, so long that when Qiao Yu tried to run away while she wasn't paying attention, the other person's strong arms tightly encircled her slender waist. "What do you think?"
A soft voice, accompanied by warm breath, touched her skin, sending a chill down Qiao Yu's spine. She was held captive by Jiang Mei, unable to move, forced to lean against her and respond to her position. Jiang Mei didn't intend to let her go easily tonight. In the darkness, she lowered her head, staring at those soft lips, which felt dry.
She called out softly again, "Yuyu".
As if on cue, Qiao Yu felt every hair on her body stand on end. "I think there must be some misunderstanding between us."
"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Mei asked softly. "What misunderstanding?"
Qiao Yu couldn't think of a solution right now, but it was obviously more important to calm the female lead down. In her haste, she blurted out, "Actually, it's because I twisted my ankle in the room earlier, so Aunt Bai kindly carried me over."
As soon as he finished speaking, a low chuckle rang in his ears again, "Twisted your ankle?"
"But I just saw you walking with a bouncy gait, you seemed quite lively."
Qiao Yu: "..." This is so awkward.
Qiao Yu panicked and immediately called out to the system, "Oh my god! The female lead in your blood type novel has turned evil!"
The system was so annoyed by her that it had no choice but to squat on the wall with a long face and light a cigarette for itself. "It's all your fault. You'd better figure out how to solve it yourself. I can't help you." It hadn't even sorted out the matter of going home yet, and who knew that this woman would turn its female lead into a villain.
She's the most amazing person in the whole world.
Even at this point, Ega in her arms was still daydreaming. Jiang Mei gritted her teeth, her light-colored lips pressed into a straight line, and she coldly stared at the girl squirming in her arms. "Qiao Yu."
"If you don't pay attention, believe me, I'll kiss you."
Qiao Yu immediately calmed down, but still couldn't resist arguing with the system, "You're responsible for your female lead!"
The system retorted, "No, woman, the female lead is yours now."
"...?" Damn it!
Lu Shangyi stood quietly on the balcony, a glass of wine in her hand. She slowly took a sip, the smile on her lips unfathomable. After a moment, a gentle breeze blew by, and the woman's red lips slightly parted, her voice carrying a faint smile as she slowly spoke, "I told you not to mess with my niece."
Lu Shangyi finished the rest of the wine in his glass and looked calmly at the person in the darkness. "So soon you've become disobedient."
