Chapter 3: What are you doing?!
Fang Yuan always felt that becoming Liang Man's agent was incredibly lucky.
While other celebrities were busy acting like divas, creating scandals, and fighting for top billing, Liang Man was repeatedly polishing a single line of dialogue in front of the mirror.
While other celebrities were embroiled in numerous scandals, Liang Man declined all invitations to drinks in order to write biographical sketches and study the psychology of the characters.
While other celebrities were arguing with their seniors for attention, Liang Man was diligently practicing martial arts moves with her martial arts instructor.
Many people lose their mystique about celebrities after getting close to them, but Fang Yuan felt that she had become a huge fan of Liang Man after becoming Liang Man's agent.
Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration.
However, at parties, whenever Fang Yuan mentions that she is Liang Man's agent, people will look at her with envy—and that's for sure.
Until... Liang Man suddenly said she wanted to raise her friend's child.
Fang Yuan realized this when the child was still an alpha.
It turns out that all the smooth sailing before was just paving the way for the difficulties and obstacles to come!
Fang Yuan took two deep breaths at Liang Man's door before unlocking it with her key.
Liang Man is a theater fanatic; sometimes she even skips meals.
As an agent, it is perfectly reasonable for her to have the key.
However, the scene inside the door stunned her instantly.
The child who had been exceptionally well-behaved when they first met was now affectionately hugging Liang Man's waist.
What surprised her even more was that Liang Man, who had always resisted physical contact, actually allowed the other person to stick close to her.
She'd only been gone a few days, how did these two get to this point? What are they doing! A forbidden love? Fang Yuan screamed inwardly.
To be honest, Qi Shaoyou himself didn't expect things to develop this way.
Since the character has been established as someone who "yearns for maternal love," she should at least act with some commitment.
So she tried to act clingy, because according to the information, Liang Man disliked this kind of dependent personality the most.
I thought it would annoy her, but to my surprise, Liang Man accepted it all and even showed a hint of maternal indulgence.
As long as it doesn't touch on matters of principle, Liang Man will generally compromise if Qi Shaoyou acts coquettishly a couple of times.
Even more surprisingly, ever since that "recognizing her mother" scene, Liang Man has insisted on waking her up personally every day.
She would always knock three times lightly on the door first, and when Qi Shaoyou refused to get out of bed, she would push the door open, sit on the edge of the bed, and gently pat the bedding.
Qi Shaoyou initially pretended to get out of bed, but later he huddled under the covers and played dead...
Their relationship has changed.
Today, Qi Shaoyou was so sleepy on the sofa that he clung to Liang Man's waist and wouldn't let go, lying on her lap instead of getting up...
The more dependent someone is, the more annoying they become – this is Qi Shaoyou's current approach to getting along with others!
Over the past two weeks, 0527 has witnessed too many outrageous actions from her host, going from initial shock to numbness. She is certain that Qi Shaoyou, this woman, has absolutely no bottom line in order to complete her mission.
"What are you doing!" Fang Yuan's voice trembled, sounding just like an incompetent husband who had caught his wife cheating.
"It's not what you think, Fang Yuan, come in first."
When the words reached Fang Yuan's ears, she realized that she hadn't closed the door yet.
Fortunately, Liang Man's luxurious penthouse only has one resident on each floor.
Otherwise, she would have already planned out tomorrow's front page.
Actress's Secret Encounter with Alpha: Has the Ice Queen Broke Up?
Is international film star Liang Man fond of dating younger men?
How a 19-year-old alpha won over an ice-cold movie queen.
Startled by Fang Yuan, Qi Shaoyou immediately released Liang Man.
Only then did she belatedly realize that she had gone a bit too far.
She really doesn't fit into the ABO world; she used to be so close to the female lead in the villain's world.
In those villainous missions, whenever Qi Shaoyou needed to build a friendship with the female lead, she would always put in extra effort.
Listen patiently to their troubles, offer a hug when they are sad, and stand firmly by their side.
After all, she's going to play a villain, who is often the one who hurts them the most in the later stages.
If her initial identity wasn't that of the female protagonist's friend, out of some inexplicable guilt, she would also anonymously and secretly offer some warmth to the female protagonist in the mission world.
Many players view the people in the small world as indifferent NPCs, but for Qi Shaoyou, every female protagonist standing in front of her is a living, breathing person.
Fortunately, the emotions will be erased after the mission, otherwise Qi Shaoyou would have had a hard time facing his inner guilt.
At this moment, facing Fang Yuan, whose face was ashen and who seemed ready to devour him alive, Qi Shaoyou's voice was barely audible: "I'm sorry, Sister Fang, it's not what you think. I just... simply don't want to go to school..."
As she said this, her ears and cheeks felt a little hot.
It's really embarrassing to admit that a 19-year-old is still refusing to go to school.
But! She! Really! Doesn't! Want! To! Go! To! School!
If she truly still has the mindset of a nineteen-year-old, then experiencing university life is perfectly understandable. At this age, university does indeed serve as a buffer before entering the harsh realities of society.
But the problem is, she isn't anymore!
Who wants to struggle to get up at 8 AM every day!
Although there weren't morning classes every day on her schedule, she really wasn't interested in the teacher's lullabies.
Moreover, she is a sophomore this year, which means she will be stuck on campus for the next three years.
That's three years! Three years of coursework!
All she wants to do now is to relax and spend her days leisurely in this luxury apartment.
Qi Shaoyou even considered whether he should transfer some money to Liang Man right now in exchange for the freedom not to go to school.
Anyway, her favorability rating is definitely over 1 point now, so she doesn't need the money at all!
However, Liang Man had already seen through her thoughts and ruthlessly shattered her illusions:
"Less travel, but must attend school."
When Fang Yuan stood at the door and witnessed that scene, her mind was already replaying an eighty-episode soap opera.
Alphas deliberately seducing their owners, pheromones inducing estrus, ingrates biting their owners...
result……
It was just because he didn't want to go to school?
Fang Yuan fell silent. It was as if she had clicked on a thriller or suspense film. As soon as the opening theme started, the scene switched to the set of "Into Science".
It's not that she has too many inner monologues, it's just that...
It's so bad that if it were made into a movie, it would be considered a terrible film!
"I don't want to leave you, Aunt Liang~"
In order to continue to stay at home and lie around, Qi Shaoyou has gone all out to act cute and use cheesy, mushy language.
Upon hearing this, 0527 was once again shocked by Qi Shaoyou's shamelessness.
Hearing the usually stubborn child suddenly acting spoiled, Liang Man couldn't help but smile.
She genuinely treated Qi Shaoyou as a junior and took care of him. After truly showing her care, she discovered that treating someone kindly is not difficult at all.
At the same time, she also realized that her parents did not love her. The care they gave her was even less than what she gave Qi Shaoyou.
But it didn't matter. During her time with Qi Shaoyou, Liang Man felt a sense of peace she had never felt before.
Perhaps it was because Qi Shaoyou's responses to her every word were always just right, and his occasional little whims made him seem particularly lively and adorable.
“I’ll be joining the crew in a few days, and your sister Fang will be coming with me.” Liang Man gently brushed away the stray hairs from Qi Shaoyou’s forehead. “Then, apart from the cleaning lady, you’ll be all alone at home.”
This statement instantly rendered Qi Shaoyou's excuse untenable.
Just as she was about to make a last-ditch effort, 0527's warning rang in her mind: [Host, if you remain at home while Liang Man is not there, the system will classify it as a negative task.]
Qi Shaoyou immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, tears welling in his eyes as he reluctantly mumbled, "Fine..."
Although the two had kept their distance from the moment Fang Yuan entered, in Liang Man's eyes at this moment, she was clearly a pitiful little dog soaked by the rain.
Liang Man gently stroked Qi Shaoyou's hair, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "How about this? I promise you, I'll come back as soon as I finish filming."
"When I'm home, you go home to stay every day after school. Should I send a car to pick you up from the school gate?"
"not good--"
Qi Shaoyou dragged out the last syllable, stretching the refusal out to be as long as the despair in her heart.
Since going to school was unavoidable, she had already compared the specific circumstances.
If you live in a dormitory, you can get to class at 7:30 if you get up at 8:00. But if you're traveling from this downtown mansion to a university in the suburbs, you might get stuck in rush hour traffic and be late even if you get up at 7:00.
Just imagining that scene made her feel like she was going to lose half her life.
"My class is too early the next day, I definitely won't be able to get up." She acted like a child with a clear conscience, since Liang Man had already witnessed her prowess in sleeping in, so there was no need for her to hide it.
When talking to people, Qi Shaoyou always looks directly into their eyes, his dark blue eyes as honest as the clearest seawater.
But at this moment, she was completely slumped in the sofa, deliberately avoiding Liang Man's gaze.
Whether it was because her hair had been ruffled earlier or because she was very angry, a few strands of her hair were sticking up in a fluffy manner.
In Liang Man's eyes, the child was just like a little dog with its fur standing on end.
Normally, if you do what she wants, she'll happily come over; if you don't, she'll droop her tail and sulk.
Of course, whether she's angry or not, she'll stay within five steps of you.
Spending time with Qi Shaoyou made Liang Man feel relaxed, which was a rare treat.
This child's mind is crystal clear, completely devoid of the complexities of an adult.
You either like it or you don't.
Her cleanliness made Liang Man feel as if she had entered another world.
But the more this happened, the more determined Liang Man became to send her to school.
She hopes that Qi Shaoyou can have his own vast world, make friends with people his own age, and pursue a career he loves.
Qi Shaoyou must be different from her mother...
Liang Man could certainly support Qi Shaoyou for life; money was just a series of numbers to her.
But she knew better than anyone that an empty soul could not be filled with material things.
She didn't want Qi Shaoyou to stay in pain forever; people always have to move forward.
Fang Yuan finally understood the whole story, and her expression softened considerably.
She spread several documents on the coffee table: "I consulted a lawyer, and there are currently three main types of adoption agreements."
Driven by her professional instincts as a broker, she included protective measures in the property terms.
She had to consider Liang Man's feelings more. There were many precedents in the world of people turning against each other for money, and she couldn't let Liang Man fall into such a situation.
Of the three agreements, two actually concealed hidden clauses within their generous terms. Only the last one was normal.
"I won't sign." Qi Shaoyou's voice was soft, but it carried an unwavering determination.
Only then did she realize that Fang Yuan had come here because of the phrase "wanting Liang Man to be her mother".
Liang Man was so good, so good that it made her feel uneasy.
How could she possibly have signed those documents?
Qi Shaoyou had already decided to secretly give Liang Man money in another way.
Since we are destined to owe her, we should at least make amends in the most practical way.
How could she possibly want Liang Man's money?
"All I want is family, not Aunt Liang's money."
“My mother left me a lot of inheritance, enough for me to spend. I don’t need any more.”
As Qi Shaoyou finished speaking, Fang Yuan's gaze softened slightly.
It turns out he wasn't cunning at all; he was just a child so naive it was heartbreaking.
She was about to soften her tone and communicate properly when her gaze suddenly fell on the back of Qi Shaoyou's neck, which was exposed when he turned around.
The once snow-white nape of her neck is now covered with many brown patches.
Her entire neck was covered with dense patches of anti-inflammatory adhesive!
"What... what's with this suppression patch?!" Fang Yuan's voice suddenly rose, and even Liang Man turned her head to look at her.
Fang Yuan is a beta and doesn't know much about alphas. Even so, she knows that alphas can only have a maximum of three suppression patches applied at a time.
Qi Shaoyou has at least thirty of them on his neck, to exaggerate a bit!
Qi Shaoyou blushed when he heard the other party mention the suppression patch.
She absolutely did not want her pheromones to be revealed!
The system forced her to choose only one pheromone, and the options were all outrageous, so she had no choice but to choose strong liquor.
Ah yes, it's exactly the literal meaning of strong liquor.
When 0527 saw it, he was impressed, thinking it was truly a good pheromone. After all, when marking an omega, it can make the omega drunk, thus alleviating the pain of marking.
Huang said that Qi Shaoyou didn't want to pay attention to 0527 and just wanted to unplug her internet cable!
————————!!————————
I hope Sister Manman can stick to her current beliefs until the very end. [Sunglasses]
This pheromone is really useful! [Sprinkling flowers]
This is a stock-picking story, but I'll also write detailed "what if" scenarios for each character in the side stories! Don't worry, you won't bet on the wrong pairing!
