Chapter 21
As soon as Shen Qing'an left, Chu Yue walked towards the lounge with a gloomy face. She grabbed the doorknob with her other hand, pressed it gently, and pushed the door open.
Ji Mingfei, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, was startled and quickly turned around to look at the person. Her eyes were red with grievance.
"I'm sorry... I didn't know President Shen was coming today. She's always been like that, don't worry about it."
Ji Mingfei's voice trembled, "Am I... someone else's mistress again?"
Again? Chu Yue remembered. She had been deceived by a married alpha before and almost became the other woman.
Chu Yue sighed, not wanting to explain the complicated past between herself and Shen Qing'an, and only said, "We don't have that kind of relationship."
"But you know that President Shen likes you... so you're being so nice to me because you want to get rid of her, right?" More than being deceived by an alpha's feelings, Ji Mingfei was more afraid of being used by an alpha to break up with his ex.
"..."
This is a difficult question to answer.
Chu Yue raised her hand and leaned against the door frame, saying, "Let me think about it."
Although she didn't know what kind of reason she would come up with, Ji Mingfei listened attentively.
"When you first came to me, it was indeed because of Shen Qing'an that I took you home. After you cut ties with me the next day, we had no contact at all. Later, I ran into you again in Shanhe, which was completely by chance! I was just wondering why your pregnancy seemed to be so close to the time of our first time, but you said the child wasn't mine, and I couldn't insist it was mine..."
Chu Yue leaned against the door, engrossed in her own recollections and analysis, completely ignoring Ji Mingfei's reaction. Her first words had barely left her lips when all her subsequent explanations seemed utterly weak and ineffective.
"You should understand now, right?" Chu Yue was fairly satisfied with her explanation.
Ji Mingfei stood up and said calmly, "Yes, I understand. President Chu, I have one last request."
"Go ahead," Chu Yue said casually.
"Don't let President Shen fire me."
Chu Yue assured Ji Mingfei with absolute certainty, "Don't worry, she won't fire you."
"Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Ji Mingfei carefully passed in front of Chu Yue. Chu Yue wanted to ask her what she wanted to eat for dinner, but she kept her head down. So she reached out to call her, but only touched the hem of her clothes before quickly slipping away from her hand.
Chu Yue watched Ji Mingfei's departing figure, knowing that asking him on the way back would be pointless.
After get off work, Chu Yue messaged Ji Mingfei to ask her to go home together, but received a reply saying, "I have something to do today and have already left."
Chu Yue has been going to Ji Mingfei's house every day lately. Chu Yue knows best whether she has something to do or not; she's clearly deliberately avoiding her. It seems today's matter isn't over yet. I wonder what nonsense Shen Qing'an said that scared her like this.
Chu Yue drove home and glanced at Ji Mingfei's window before going upstairs; the light was on.
It's good to be at home.
She knocked on Ji Mingfei's door, but waited for a long time without any response. She called her again, but no one answered.
"Let's talk, come out."
Ji Mingfei sat on the living room floor, picked up her phone to read the message Chu Yue had sent. She didn't want to talk about anything now, and she wouldn't get involved in anyone else's relationship.
Ji Mingfei wants to redraw the line.
I'm going to bed.
Chu Yue frowned upon receiving the reply. Just as she was about to reply to Ji Mingfei, her phone suddenly rang; the caller ID showed it was her assistant, Deng Jie.
This guy, he sends someone and disappears all day, he really knows when to call!
Chu Yue answered the call impatiently, "Speak."
"Boss...save me!"
I heard Deng Jie's sobbing voice coming from the other end of the line.
…
Chu Yue arrived at the VIP suite of the Fuyue Hotel. Pushing open the slightly ajar door, a strong pheromone wafted towards her. The omega's pheromones belonged to Shen Qing'an, and the alpha's pheromones belonged to Deng Jie.
"..."
Chu Yue walked in with a dark expression.
On the messy bed in the bedroom, Deng Jie was wrapped in a quilt and sobbing, but Shen Qing'an was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Yue felt her blood pressure rise and asked, "Where is Shen Qing'an?"
Deng Jie looked up, sobbing, repeating Shen Qing'an's words before she left, "President Shen said that after a drink, even a god wouldn't want to leave..."
"What utter nonsense!" Chu Yue rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Although she didn't believe the two of them could be together, seeing this scene, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you two do it?"
At this point, Deng Jie suddenly became even more upset, bursting into tears and crying, "I don't know..."
"You're an alpha, after all. Do you think Shen Qing'an would actually sleep with you? Wouldn't you just run away?"
Deng Jie was already feeling wronged, and hearing Chu Yue's accusations made him even more upset. He hurriedly defended himself, saying, "As soon as I walked in, President Chen closed the door. I couldn't move when I smelled her pheromones..."
Chu Yue was anxious to find Shen Qing'an, who was in heat, and quickly comforted Deng Jie, saying, "You don't need to come to the company for the next couple of days. Go home and rest for a few days to clear your head. Every alpha goes through this, so try to think positively..."
Before leaving, Chu Yue left her credit card with Deng Jie so he could have something nice to eat.
…
Dream Bar.
In the corner, a group of drunken alphas were hunting for women. Look at the women sitting there, each one eager to make a move.
"This is mine, don't try to take it from me."
"I noticed her when I went to the bathroom. She still has the mark she just made on her. Be careful, her alpha might kick you out."
“I’ve been watching her for twenty minutes, and no one has come to her. Maybe she had a fight with the alpha. I’ll go and comfort the hurt little beauty.”
"She came to the bar with a mark on her, she's definitely not a proper omega. Watch me take her down!"
The alpha, who had been speaking, steadied himself up by holding onto the table and staggered towards the bar. He leaned against the chair where the omega was sitting, and with a smile, struck up a conversation, "Beautiful lady, all alone?"
Shen Qing'an glanced at the man lazily, "What's it to you? Get lost!"
Not only did the man not leave, but he also put his hand on Shen Qing'an's shoulder and pulled her into his arms. "Your alpha isn't good enough! Such a light mark, it'll be gone with just one bite. No wonder you came drinking alone, are you lonely?"
Shen Qing'an shook off the man's filthy hand and shouted, "Don't touch me, you're crazy!"
"I love feisty omegas!" The alpha who was trying to flirt suddenly got excited. Before his hand could even touch Shen Qing'an's face, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar.
Chu Yue braced her arm against the other man's neck, making his glands press squarely against the bar counter. "I like feisty alphas. Interested in having a drink with me?"
The alpha screamed in pain, "I'm not gay!"
Chu Yue smiled, but her eyes were as cold as ice. "You can become an omega."
"..."
Chu Yue increased the pressure on his hands, showing no mercy as she brutally attacked his glands. The alpha, nearly fainting from the pain, suddenly panicked and cried out, "I didn't know she was your omega... I'm so sorry, sis!"
The alpha who had come drinking with him noticed something was wrong and quickly ran over to apologize. When Chu Yue let go of him, the man immediately passed out. His friends were all angry but dared not speak out, and they slunk away with the unconscious alpha.
Chu Yue patted Shen Qing'an, who was sleeping on the bar counter. When she turned her head to the side, the mark on her neck was revealed. If it was slightly off by one millimeter, it would be a pure bite mark.
"Have you made enough of a scene?"
"Why are you here...aren't you going to keep Miss Ji company?"
"If this happens again tonight, I'll call Aunt Liu."
"I'm not bothering you anymore, so don't interfere! I'll be with whoever I want..."
Chu Yue warned her, "The person you took away today was Deng Jie, a little kid who doesn't know anything. Next time you go to a hotel with another alpha, you won't be so lucky."
“Only omegas who can’t live without an alpha would be afraid of giving birth to a child that no alpha would acknowledge. My child will definitely have the surname Shen; it won’t need any other alpha to bear it.” Shen Qing’an laughed. “Do you have some kind of leverage that Ji Mingfei has over you?”
"I'll take you back to your hotel."
Shen Qing'an pushed Chu Yue's hand away, "I'm not going to the hotel! I want to go to your house..."
"Okay, let's go to my place." Chu Yue coaxed the completely drunk Shen Qing'an and finally managed to get her out of the bar.
On the way back, Shen Qing'an sat in the car crying and making a scene. Chu Yue's car was stopped by the traffic police, who checked their ID cards and inquired about their relationship.
After finally bringing him home, Shen Qing'an saw the electric toy BMW parked in the living room as soon as she entered and insisted on driving it. This went on until midnight before the darling Shen finally fell asleep on the sofa.
Chu Yue was covered in sweat from all the commotion. After glancing at her phone, which had no messages, she went to take a shower and go to bed.
…
The next day, Chu Yue woke up as soon as it was light. She first went to the living room to check on Shen Qing'an, who was still sleeping, then tiptoed into the bathroom, closed the door, turned the faucet to the lowest setting, and secretly washed up before getting ready for work.
As Chu Yue passed through the living room, she secretly observed the movements on the sofa while carrying her slippers and walking barefoot towards the front door.
Chu Yue held her breath, gripped the doorknob, and slowly pressed it down until the lock cylinder made a slight metallic clanging sound, and the door opened a crack.
As soon as Ji Mingfei stepped out, he saw his neighbor slowly closing the door, his butt sticking out. For a moment, he even forgot about not wanting to meet Chu Yue.
Chu Yue turned around and saw Ji Mingfei looking at her incredulously. She quickly straightened her clothes, smiled, and went up to greet him, "What a coincidence! We can ride in my car together."
"..."
I take your car to work every day, don't I? I wanted to leave early today, but I still ran into you.
"I'll press the elevator button!" Chu Yue pointed in the direction of the elevator, her eagerness bordering on affected.
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a door opening came from behind him. Ji Mingfei subconsciously turned around to look, only to see Shen Qing'an leaning against the door frame of Chu Yue's house, wearing a semi-transparent undershirt.
Three faces were completely dumbfounded: "..."
Shen Qing'an, who was the first to react, smiled and said to Chu Yue, "So Xiao Ji lives next door to you. You should have gone over to say hello when you came back last night."
Ji Mingfei nodded in greeting, saying politely but firmly, "Hello, President Shen!"
"Are you going to the company together? My Yue didn't wake me up in the morning, is she worried that I was tired last night?"
Ji Mingfei suddenly realized why Chu Yue was so careful when closing the door earlier; she didn't want to disturb President Shen. It seemed they had made up.
It's still the same old way of forgetting past grievances.
