040
The consequence of Jiang Yujin's one night of indulgence was that he couldn't get up the next day.
Waking up means everything is delayed, and even the slightest tug hurts everywhere.
Did Liang Dongmo have been more restrained before...?
He had originally scheduled a meeting in the morning to view the location of a law firm, but he slept until the afternoon when he woke up to find the time had been changed.
Seeing the alpha looking refreshed, he became furious.
"Is the one in the guest room still alive?"
"They were picked up this morning. The Fu family owes us a favor."
As soon as Alpha brought in dinner and put it down, Jiang Yujin kicked her out—literally kicked her out—and threw the pillow he had brought from the bed onto Alpha's back.
"I understand, you can leave." Having received the message, the omega turned on him from under the bed, "Let's not see each other again, so that something like yesterday doesn't happen again, and neither of us will be able to handle the situation."
Liang Dongmo certainly wouldn't care about these petty squabbles; he'd been scolded so badly last night that he was immune to them.
There's no one else in this villa now; all the people who were in the way have left.
"I thought you had forgiven me yesterday, Xiaojin. You're still wearing the necklace I gave you. Isn't it pretty?"
The repaired black rose necklace was back on the omega's neck. Last night, she put it on herself and made the omega swear never to take it off again.
Jiang Yujin, clutching the black petal, retorted, "It doesn't count. How can something you forced me to say be considered true?"
Having filled his stomach and regained his strength, he found himself in Liang Dongmo's room. He picked up a bathrobe from the side and wrapped it around the marks all over his body, then staggered away from Liang Dongmo's sight.
Back in his room, Jiang Yujin locked the door and moved a bedside table to block it.
To make sure the alpha's coming in would wake him, he went into the bathroom to take a shower. Even though he had showered late last night, he still felt uneasy, as if something was leaking out as he walked.
When the water was halfway turned on, there was a black, button-sized sticker stuck under the bathroom mirror, which Jiang Yujin wouldn't notice unless he looked closely.
He hadn't been so careful before; the sticker was quite secure. Jiang Yujin didn't know what it was when he peeled it off and held it in his hand.
Take out your phone, take a picture, and search.
The first thing that pops up is the camera.
Jiang Yujin: "..."
The miniature camera was thrown in front of Liang Dongmo. "When did you start spying on me? How shameless! How many videos did you record in the bathroom? Delete them right now!" The omega demanded to know where else in the house he didn't know about, besides the one he found.
Liang Dongmo showed no panic at being discovered. She had preserved the videos very well. The camera was just a minor thing; from the day she entered the villa, the camera had captured many of the clips she needed.
"I didn't tell anyone, and Ozu looks so cute." How could I bear to let others see it?
Jiang Yujin got goosebumps all over his body; Liang Dongmo was getting more and more terrifying.
Unable to reason with her, Jiang Yujin met her fierce gaze and fled as fast as she could.
-
The location of the law firm was settled, and the licensing procedures would take at least a month. Jiang Yujin felt that he did not have much ability, so he did not have any partners. He hired a few cleaners and security guards, and everything was provided.
The law firm was decorated in his preferred style. Jiang Yujin then moved everyone out of the Jiang family villa and bought a house not far from the law firm.
He liked to cling to his mother while abroad, and was often jokingly called a "mama's boy" by his fellow Chinese classmates.
Jiang Yujin had a vague feeling that Xie Rongyu was having that surgery, but he didn't stop her. He felt guilty, as he had been doing just fine by himself for the two weeks he spent abroad completing the rest of his studies.
Jiang Yujin personally oversaw the law firm's renovation in the morning, and then took a long nap in the house he bought in the afternoon. He bought the house when he had chosen the location for the law firm. It had three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom, and the lighting was excellent. The original owner had even given him some furniture. He secretly emptied the wardrobe in his room while Liang Dongmo was away.
I didn't go home that night, and Liang Dongmo called to interrogate me.
Jiang Yujin stated bluntly: "I don't want to live in a house that's constantly under surveillance."
Would you be happy if everything you did was under someone else's watchful eye?
He is not a prisoner and does not like being monitored.
Besides, he should have moved out and lived on his own a long time ago. Living under the same roof with someone he hates, and having to worry about the possibility of someone climbing into his bed in the middle of the night.
Jiang Yujin ordered takeout, and soon there was a knock on the door. Learning from the mistakes of the young people, he opened the door a crack. It wasn't a delivery person outside, but an unfamiliar alpha girl.
"Hello uncle, are you an omega? I'm from across the hall. I haven't seen anyone living in this house for a long time, so I brought some local specialties to say hello."
Jiang Yujin opened the door. "Who are you?"
"I'm Wen Qingzhong, I'm 8 years old. You can call me Zhongzhong like my dad does, I don't mind. Uncle, you're so handsome! My dad hasn't come back yet, can I have a meal at your house?"
Oh, you're here to freeload a meal.
They still call him uncle. Is he that old?
At just 8 years old, she dared to greet strangers. Jiang Yujin criticized her, "When is your father coming back? How can you just knock on a stranger's door? Can't you order takeout if you're hungry?" He himself was going to order takeout later. Although he occasionally cooked noodles for himself abroad, his refrigerator at home was completely empty.
"My dad says good-looking people can't be bad people. I've seen my uncle moving house these past few days through my peephole..."
Little Zhongzhong is so young, yet she's already spying on others; she's not learning good habits.
Jiang Yujin rolled his eyes, thinking of a certain alpha. "You're not allowed to spy on others anymore. Uncle is taking you out to eat. When is your dad coming back?"
Zhongzhong chattered on and on until her mouth was dry. When they arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Yujin told her to shut up because the food would be served later, and gave her a bottle of yogurt to drink.
"Thank you, Uncle! I knew you were a good person!" Zhongzhong happily sat in the chair and drank her yogurt after receiving a free dinner.
After finishing her yogurt, she started chatting with Jiang Yujin again. As the dishes were served one after another, Jiang Yujin, who was hungry, selectively answered her questions.
"Uncle, are you married?"
"No."
"Where is your partner?"
"No." Jiang Yujin and Liang Dongmo's relationship is at most that of bed partners.
"Uncle, do you know where I came from? I asked my dad, but he won't tell me."
"You're just a little girl asking so many questions. Of course, you were born from your mother. Who else could it be?" Jiang Yujin put some food into her bowl, trying to shut her up.
"But Dad said that I was born in the hospital by Dad alone. Dad hasn't come back for a month."
One second she said her father didn't tell her, the next second she said she gave birth in the hospital.
Jiang Yujin was completely bewildered. "So how did you spend that month?"
“I have money in my watch. Uncle, this meal is on me,” Zhongzhong said, pulling up a payment code on her phone. “Dad said that when you’re eating out with an omega, you can’t let the omega pay.”
After hearing what the child said, Jiang Yujin felt like he had been tricked.
The child's father is really good at teaching.
"Is your father back? Do you want your uncle to take you to the police station to report the crime?" Jiang Yujin decided to go through the trouble of taking her to the police station to report the crime, considering that she had treated him to a meal.
"I can take care of myself. Dad will be back soon, Uncle, don't worry."
"Okay, are you full? Let's go back." Jiang Yujin couldn't very well leave a ten-year-old girl unwillingly at the police station.
In the elevator, Zhongzhong asked Jiang Yujin if she could be with her father and become his mother since she didn't have a boyfriend.
"Uh, what if your mom comes back? Will you want your own mom or this fake one?"
Jiang Yujin pulled her out of the elevator, asking her questions as they walked.
"Can I have both?" Zhongzhong was still a child, and she looked down, unsure of which to choose.
"You can't expect to have everything; that's too greedy." Jiang Yujin couldn't bear to scold a little girl, so he squatted down and asked her, "How about you wait for Daddy to come back at Uncle's house?"
The child's father is really something. How could anyone let an eight-year-old child stay home alone for a month?! He's so irresponsible. Zhongzhong could totally sue her father.
Zhongzhong suddenly stopped moving. She tugged at Jiang Yujin's sleeve, pointed to his front door, and asked in a clearly frightened voice, "Does Uncle know that older sister?"
"Who is she?" Without those cameras and GPS tracking, Liang Dongmo had searched for him for most of the day. He finally found the address and went to the door with flowers to beg for reconciliation, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yujin had gone out with a child.
Jiang Yujin's words, telling him not to pay attention to him, still echoed in his ears.
Jiang Yujin glanced at her gloomy face; even the large bouquet of pink roses in her hand couldn't salvage the situation.
Jiang Yujin sighed and said softly, "Don't frighten the child."
After Jiang Yujin stood up, Zhongzhong hid behind him, tugging at his pants, and looked timidly at the stranger.
"This pretty lady's expression is scary, uncle."
"Let's go inside first." To avoid frightening the child at Liang Dongmo, Jiang Yujin picked him up and opened the door with his fingerprint.
Jiang Yujin had just put the child down when a large bouquet of pink roses was forcibly shoved into his hands.
Jiang Yujin was speechless.
Does Zhongzhong like flowers?
Zhongzhong looked at the pretty older sister whose face was even darker, and hesitated before saying, "Can I take one if I like it?"
Jiang Yujin calmed the crying child down and pulled the unhappy alpha aside. "The girl next door was hungry because her father wasn't home, so I took her out for a meal."
Liang Dongmo was skeptical. "Where's her mother?"
Jiang Yujin was speechless and had no choice but to recount the whole story from beginning to end.
Liang Dongmo nodded in satisfaction.
"I haven't eaten either, and I've been looking for you all afternoon. What should I do?"
"Order takeout and eat here before going back, or go back home to eat directly. There's nothing at home."
What could they do? Could they go out again? Jiang Yujin was too lazy to go, and besides, it wasn't safe to leave the child at home.
Liang Dongmo went to the kitchen and checked the refrigerator; sure enough, it was empty.
"Why did you move out? Were you not sleeping comfortably at home?"
“I don’t want to live here. Do you know what kind of relationship we have? Liang Dongmo, I haven’t forgiven you yet. Can you please stop interfering with me?” Jiang Yujin felt that she would scheme against him again if he stayed under the same roof with her. He would rather stay here and take care of the child.
