Chapter 4 As darkness fell, several...
When it got dark, there were almost no people in the neighborhood, except for a few people walking their dogs.
They were a little surprised to see Alpha. They recognized her but didn't know why she was walking around the neighborhood at this hour.
Isn't she only on the day shift?
What is she holding in her hand? Is she going to deliver something to some homeowner?
On the way, Jiang Shi only carried one bag and did not bring back all his luggage. He also only brought a few bottles of inhibitors.
Following the route she remembered, she pressed the button for the seventh floor. As a security guard who frequently visited this building, she hardly needed any special privileges to get in.
The elevator doors opened, and Jiang Shi felt somewhat heavy-hearted, never expecting that he would now be an omega's lover.
If we really get married in the future, we can't tell anyone about this.
He might not be able to marry an omega because of this.
After that vulnerable period, Jiang Shi still hoped that he could marry an omega.
She rang the doorbell and waited for the door to open.
The corridor was bright and spacious. Money really makes a difference; the corridor was clean and even smelled nice.
They also displayed green plants.
The door opened, and Ji Qian, who was standing there, saw that it was her. She turned to the side, wearing only her conservative pajamas, and said, "Come in."
She was not wearing a bite stopper.
Ji Qian felt uneasy as the alpha came in.
He acted as if this wasn't his home.
"This is your room."
Didn't we share a bed?
Jiang Shi was a little confused. He couldn't just take the money for nothing and let her live in this room by herself.
Jiang Shi looked down at him, his gaze unconsciously landing on the back of his neck, trying to discern whether he had been bitten by an alpha recently.
Has his alpha returned recently?
For example, she just arrived, and now his alpha is back.
How should I put it? Could it be that she's a mistress who just took office today?
Perhaps he has more than one place to live.
Jiang Shi could smell his pheromones; in fact, the entire room was filled with his pheromones.
The whole room was filled with the refreshing, sweet scent of grapefruit emanating from him.
"I see."
"I have to work from Monday to Friday, and I get up at seven in the morning."
He didn't look up, his smooth hair cascading over his shoulders, a few strands of it sticking out unnoticed. He continued, "It might disturb you. By the way, you shouldn't do that job anymore."
What if someone finds out?
What should we do next?
He found a security guard as his girlfriend, and now he wants to go to the government to get a marriage certificate? They definitely won't agree; they'll definitely drag him back to force him into some kind of arranged marriage.
He has no interest in arranged marriages.
I chose her simply because she has a good reputation, is good-looking, and smells nice. I can just pay her to leave so there won't be too much trouble later.
She might assume he has a girlfriend.
If he thinks he's his lover, he can make her think he has an alpha, so she won't be so shameless later on, and she won't mark him permanently.
"That won't do. I can't stay at home and be a gigolo."
Ji Qian opened her mouth, but hesitated, not wanting to ruin the relationship on the first day, so she decided to talk about it later.
"Then you rest first, I'll go back to my room." His voice was somewhat cold.
She hasn't told her father yet; she'll have to work as a security guard for a few days first.
What's the point of continuing to work there?
It's said that it's for guarding the gate.
Ji Qian took a few steps back. "Everything you need is here. If anything is missing, just tell me."
"good."
Ji Qian went back into the house, closed the door, and seemed to have little faith in the alpha's nature. She locked the door and leaned against it, feeling somewhat afraid.
Letting a strange alpha move in, someone we've only met once before, or maybe twice.
This was the first time Ji Qian had ever been so bold.
He could almost still smell the bitterness, and subconsciously touched the glands on the back of his neck, his breathing becoming erratic.
Seeing no movement outside the door, Ji Qian slowly got into bed, but found it difficult to fall asleep.
The phone rang again. Ji Qian didn't need to look; it was another message from his father about potential blind dates, or perhaps urging him to go back and obediently accept an arranged marriage.
He lay there, not daring to say that he had found it, but only that he had used the money to find a nominal alpha.
I'm sure I'll get talked about.
The room was bright and airy, and the curtains were tightly closed.
The person on the bed lay there with their legs drawn up, lost in thought, their collar slightly open, revealing the skin around their collarbone, their beautiful, aloof face filled with confusion.
Ji Qian curled up on her side, wrapped in the blankets, and didn't intend to think about anything anymore.
It was still early, and Ji Qian didn't want to look at her phone, because as soon as she turned it on, all she would hear were her father urging her to do certain things.
Living room outside the door.
Alpha glanced at the furnishings in the room, turned off the living room lights, and went back to his room.
She put her things down, closed the door, and went into the bathroom, thinking how wonderful it is to be rich.
This bathroom is three times the size of her previous bathroom.
It's not crowded at all inside.
Alpha came after taking a shower.
She peeled off the suppression patch and replaced it with the backup suppression patch.
Jiang Shi closed the bathroom door and only turned on the bedside lamp in the room.
Someone on her phone asked her if she could go to work tomorrow.
How could I possibly be a gigolo in this house?
If the relationship ends, won't she lose her job as well?
It's 9 p.m. now, and Jiang Shi quickly fell asleep, planning to get up at 6 a.m. tomorrow to go to work.
In the middle of the night.
Ji Qian got out of bed, opened the door and looked into the living room, which was dark.
Ji Qian glanced at the doorway of the side bedroom again, then walked to the bar and poured herself a glass of water.
He suddenly regretted it, regretting that he had made this decision.
This relationship is so complicated.
Ji Qian frowned, but her mind was so heavy with sleep that she didn't want to think at all.
He took a sip of water and slowly went back to his room.
...
At five in the morning, the sky outside was still dark.
Jiang Shi got out of bed, tidied himself up, and changed into his work clothes right away.
She opened the door and paused slightly.
She took the money and went to work, and worked all day long, which seemed very bad.
Wouldn't someone like that get fired?
She's already spent all her money.
Jiang Shi saw that the people inside probably wouldn't get up so quickly, so he went to ask for leave and would come back to see what arrangements he wanted to make.
This lover, what does he want her to do?
It's really strange. Logically speaking, shouldn't lovers sleep in the same bed?
He's the one who wanted to keep her as a mistress, he's the one who wanted her to move in, but now he's being coy and won't let her touch him or even touch her. What kind of mistress is that?
This is normal on the first day, since everyone is unfamiliar with each other.
If it were any other homeowner, they wouldn't do that; they would have just pulled her onto the bed long ago and asked her to do something.
However, some people in this neighborhood recognize her, and no one suspects anything as she comes and goes.
Jiang Shi didn't think too much about it; he would just wait a few hours until he came back and asked him in detail.
It's not like he can spend the money because of his pride, and then suddenly regret it later.
The elevator doors opened, and Jiang Shi left the building, heading towards his previous work station.
"Why didn't you come in your uniform?"
"Come here and put it on." Jiang Shi hadn't fully recovered from her vulnerable period and was still somewhat dazed and listless.
"People have been asking you the past few days why you didn't come," a colleague said. "What's wrong with you? Don't you even have any omegas?"
Jiang Shi couldn't possibly say that she couldn't afford to support an omega, or that she didn't have any extra money to spend on an omega.
"No," Jiang Shi said vaguely.
Who's looking for you?
Jiang Shi shook his head. "I don't know." He knew nothing.
"You should be 24 by now. Won't the government match you with an omega?"
Reminded by this, Jiang Shi realized that such a thing existed.
Even if they matched her with someone, she still couldn't afford to raise them.
What if they're both broke and the two of them are crammed into a rented room, like the two people next door?
Jiang Shi thought about how he was still being kept by a sugar daddy, so finding an omega was even more impossible.
Is there any way to refuse?
"Go to military school," my colleague said bluntly.
“Military academies have academic requirements, so I can’t go.” Jiang Shi was a homeless orphan who was hit by a car and had no memory of anything before the age of six. She was taken in by a beggar and temporarily cared for for a few days before he abandoned her and went to another city to continue begging.
Jiang Shi learned his way of begging and started begging and picking up trash, because he had no money to go to school.
There was no such thing as an orphanage there; Jiang Shi had absolutely no idea such a place existed.
As soon as I wake up, all I do is eat and live; I run away whenever I see a policeman.
The person opposite him choked for a moment, "We can take the special talent route and apply to the federal government. That's better than being a security guard here. We don't have that opportunity."
At least don't stay here anymore; seeing her every day gives me a heart attack.
All the omegas in this neighborhood have their eyes glued to her, but she's a tough nut to crack. She's been here for four years and refuses to get close to any omegas.
Since she arrived, there have been far fewer cases of sugar daddies in this neighborhood.
The machine entered through the manual lane to deliver packages. Jiang Shi didn't say anything, just watched the machine go by.
But these days, it's not about brute force anymore. Getting into military academy, and then what? It's all about connections. Once she's in, how will she make a living? How will she pay her tuition?
The government is not forcing a match; it's just a matchmaking process.
Jiang Shi saw the person in charge and said, "I'll go find her first."
Jiang Shi left his colleagues and went to the person in charge. "I would like to ask for a few days off."
"What's wrong? Why do you need to take leave?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Something suddenly happened at home, so it's hard to say."
"Okay, you need to take a few days off. More than that won't do, or your salary will be deducted."
“Three days,” Jiang Shi tentatively asked.
“Sure,” the person in charge said again. “Xiao Jiang, I have a job opportunity here. Do you want to go? It’s about driving for someone else. If you do a good job, the salary will be twice that of your current job.”
"Who are you going to be my driver for?"
“There’s an omega in our neighborhood who owns his own company and is very rich. You’re an alpha, so you can be his driver. He said he’ll feel more at ease when he comes back.”
This won't work.
Jiang Shi shook his head, "This job is pretty good. I really like being a security guard."
The person in charge seemed a little disappointed, and then tried to persuade him a few more times, "If you have any ideas later, you can tell me. He's not in a hurry, we can do it anytime. Sometimes you have to seize opportunities. Young people need to have some drive. Look at your colleagues, they just collect a fixed salary every day, they don't have any ambition, and they're always daydreaming."
“Sometimes face isn’t that important. The people in our neighborhood are pretty normal, but there are also quite a few tough ones. Usually, it’s just a matter of refusing or giving in, but you haven’t budged for four years. Eventually, someone will lose patience.”
Jiang Shi didn't understand what she meant, what she meant by "no patience," did she expect her to force her to be her lover?
Her expression was somewhat strange. "I'll go back now and come back in three days."
A note from the author:
Jiang Shi didn't rush back; instead, he went to a nearby large supermarket and bought some groceries.
On the way, she pondered how to start the conversation. After all, it was only the first day, but getting to know someone wasn't going to be a normal process, and there was no need to be rigid about the first day.
Those nightclub one-night stands, don't they all involve going straight to bed without even holding hands a few times?
It's not that Jiang Shi likes this kind of thing; she agreed to be kept by someone, isn't that what she should be doing?
It was difficult to accept at first. But she accepted it all, only to say halfway through that it wouldn't work, and she had no money left.
That won't work.
This client seems normal; at least he doesn't have any special demands, and he doesn't seem to do that kind of thing too frequently.
You have to ask the boss what kind of job you want before you can choose.
Otherwise, no matter how good your job is, if your boss is no good, what future do you have?
For example, that driver, based on the previous situation, wasn't he a secret lover? He was giving people rides and asking for favors everywhere.
She's a driver, a nanny, and also has to satisfy the omega's needs in bed and emotionally.
Jiang Shi ate breakfast outside and returned home at only 7:30 in the morning.
The omega in the master bedroom doesn't seem to be up yet, and there doesn't look like a nanny has come to cook.
Jiang Shi went straight back to his room.
No one had lived in the house before; it was empty and there was nothing superfluous in it.
There was no unnecessary furniture, just a wardrobe, a bed, and a sofa.
Jiang Shi opened the wardrobe and looked inside at the pajamas he had prepared in advance, as well as a box of alpha inhibitors.
The wardrobe was also empty, with only four sets of pajamas hanging there.
Jiang Shi closed the wardrobe, drew back the curtains, and soon saw the residential area below.
This place is indeed very upscale, and the people who live there are all wealthy, although you don't see luxury cars coming and going every day.
Every decoration in the community has been carefully studied, lest something displease the residents.
Even security guards have to be alphas, and there are various requirements for them.
Jiang Shi sneaked in; she had no formal education and got in entirely because of her imposing manner.
Jiang Shi didn't wander around the house; he just stayed quietly in his room, waiting for people to get up.
He didn't seem to have told her his name.
Around 11 o'clock, there started to be some noise outside.
The person in the master bedroom came out in their pajamas, their hair uncombed, and lay down on the sofa to rest.
The television was turned on and turned up to the maximum volume, and the living room curtains opened automatically.
He seemed to feel a bit cold and turned the air conditioning up a bit.
As the door to the side bedroom opened, Ji Qian stared at it and slowly sat up.
"Do we need to talk?" Alpha said.
say what?
Ji Qian subconsciously tidied her hair, smoothing it in front of her, waiting for her to say something.
As the alpha sat down in front of her, Ji Qian's gaze remained fixed on her arm.
"May I have your name?"
Ji Qian paused for a moment, then said, "My name is Ji Qian."
"May I ask what I should do?"
Ji Qian paused for a moment, then said, "I hope you quit that job. I can give you 200,000 yuan every month."
The company's share dividends are not much, so some can be allocated to her.
With his meager salary, he could barely cover property management fees and electricity bills.
Although it's not bad compared to others, this job is only considered respectable within his circle—the kind of respectable job an omega should have. He can take care of children and family, but the salary is too low.
He continued, "In a few days, come with me to meet some people."
Jiang Shi assumed it was to introduce her to others, since sugar daddies often liked to take their mistresses out to parties.
Jiang Shi knew his suggestion was good, but wasn't the way he was giving it away a bit too much?
There wasn't anything in the house that really showed off his wealth. Aside from the expensive land, the house had all the luxury items that omegas like, but that didn't mean he was rich enough to spend money like that.
Maybe he'll only be keeping her for a few months; maybe he'll get tired of her after a month.
She shook her head again. "No, I still need to work."
Ji Qian was a little annoyed, "You're the sugar daddy and I'm still the sugar daddy. If you can't do anything, then what can?"
"Shouldn't you be more compliant in matters of the heart?" She paused. "After all, I don't know how long you've been supporting me."
Hearing her so blunt words, his face flushed slightly. He realized that this was just how alphas were—so passionate about love.
"By the way, what should I do?" she asked, remembering her purpose. "Or what are your habits? Do you need me to take you to work? Or do you need me to cook for you, or give you a massage? Or clean your room?"
“Someone else does that,” he declined.
He only drives for about ten minutes to get to work, and he only teaches about two classes a day. He's not so busy that he needs someone to pick him up from get off work.
"Then why did you keep me as your sugar daddy? Why do we sleep separately?" she continued to press.
Ji Qian looked up at her, subconsciously curling her fingers and pulling her sleeves tighter, unsure how to answer.
If his alpha would mind, then why would he pay her to stay here for a while?
Does he have a lot of money?
"It seems your alpha doesn't live with you. Are you two not married yet? Or are you already on the path to marriage negotiations?"
"...She got married, and she's on another planet."
Jiang Shi was relieved. "Then why did you keep me as your sugar daddy?"
If you just spend money to keep her there, wouldn't you be able to see her every day from the security room just the same?
Ji Qian's mind went blank, and she stammered, unable to speak.
He turned his face away, his disheveled hair obscuring his eyebrows and eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, his whole body tense as he sat on the sofa.
Her long black hair was draped over her body, and her small face was very fair and delicate, but her eyebrows and eyes were like a piece of wood, and she looked at people with a negative attitude.
Jiang Shi stared at him, knowing what a lover was like. Having worked as a security guard here for four years, he also knew that a lover had to take the initiative.
She got up and went over to sit next to him, but he seemed somewhat resistant and moved his body to the other side.
Ji Qian smelled the pheromones on her body; they were bitter, making her dizzy and even weak.
He confirmed that his heat cycle was over, and there were still two weeks of free time.
How should he tell her? Should he say that the money is his commission fee and that he wants her to get a marriage certificate with him to avoid the government's matching process? He'll definitely be rejected.
What if she has an omega she likes, and they're only doing this temporarily because of money? What can he do now? He doesn't want to go on blind dates.
She was indeed beautiful, with striking features and a dashing air. She also had a great figure, and even in this white tank top, she exuded a relaxed vibe, with her muscles subtly visible. Her pheromones smelled wonderful.
Unlike male alphas, female alphas are more handsome and elegant in appearance. Although they are both alphas, their nature is the same.
Ji Qian lowered her eyelashes, her gaze falling on the hand that was about to be reached out, her voice cold, "I told you, I'll let you touch me again. Don't take the initiative on your own when you don't need to."
The alpha in front of him was somewhat surprised, watching him get up and leave back into the master bedroom, wondering what was going on.
Jiang Shi leaned back on the sofa, relaxing his body, and found his behavior strange.
Didn't they already become a sugar daddy/sugar baby? What's with the pretense now? Since they're married, the fact that he's not wearing a wedding ring means he's not satisfied with his alpha.
His aloof and indifferent demeanor clearly indicated that he wasn't very happy in bed either; otherwise, why would he be thinking of keeping her as a mistress? It's just about those things in bed, isn't it?
Whether an omega and an alpha have a good relationship depends largely on what happens in bed.
Jiang Shi didn't see any bite marks on the back of his neck. All she knew was that when she got close, she could only smell his pheromones, with no other alph pheromones remaining.
He and his alpha haven't seen each other for at least two months.
It's obvious from this that she'll be laid off soon.
Jiang Shi thought of the suggestion to enroll in a military academy.
If he regrets it, I wonder if he'll ask for the money back.
If not, she could certainly try for a special talent program at a military academy.
Even if I leave, I can work as a security guard at a school, which is better than being harassed by those omegas here. It will also make it easier to find a partner.
Jiang Shi sat on the sofa without moving, looking at the large-screen TV and watching the TV series on it, then looked down at his phone.
It's almost noon.
Jiang Shi got up and went to the kitchen to get the groceries she had bought that morning.
There were two of them, and Jiang Shi didn't know what he usually liked to eat. She made six dishes, referring to the foods that omegas like to eat online.
Inside the house.
“I’ll bring her to see you in three days,” he said weakly. “I’m not lying to you, we’re already living together.”
He carefully opened the door, observing where she was. Soon he smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, and turned the camera towards the kitchen to show his father.
He was afraid that she might suddenly turn around and say something that would expose him, so he was about to go back to his room when he saw her turn around and reveal her face.
"Are you out yet? The food will be ready soon."
Jiang Shi washed his hands and walked over proactively. "Who are you chatting with?"
She knew the camera was pointed at her; if it were his alpha on the other end, he would be trying to hide.
Jiang Shi leaned closer to him, grasped his wrist, and lowered his head to gently sniff his neck, seeing the glands on the back of his neck.
There were no bite marks.
Once bitten by an alpha, a mark will appear there.
Are their AO relationships really that bad? They're separated and haven't been marked, what kind of marriage is this?
She lowered her eyelashes and gently brushed her nose against the back of his neck. The stunned omega trembled and almost collapsed.
He hurriedly turned off the video, pushed her away, and his neck turned red.
"You can't do that again next time." His breathing became erratic.
Jiang Shi looked up at him, her expression strange and her demeanor odd.
I wonder what kind of quirks rich people have.
She didn't say anything, but simply turned and went back to the kitchen.
The aroma in the kitchen was quickly dissipated.
Ji Qian looked down at the messages on her phone, only knowing that her father had agreed to let her take him to meet people.
He gripped his phone tightly, then slowly placed it against his chest, his eyes reddening as if he were being driven to desperation.
It's all the father's fault.
If it weren't for him, he would normally spend his rest time completely relaxed.
What marriage alliance or matching? His heat cycle hasn't reached an unbearable stage yet; his glands are naturally a bit slower to react than other omegas.
