After the Nerd Marked the Top Omega - Chapter 35.2

After realizing her feelings, Fang Xu became even more constrained. She had to choose every word carefully, afraid of annoying the other party, and also afraid of the other party knowing her feelings.

【I’m going back to Yucheng. You can call me anytime.】

In the end, Fang Xu didn’t ask about the other party’s condition and sent a message that wouldn’t cause any trouble.

Whether it was on social media or in her contacts, Pei Yunci was under her special attention, so she would know immediately if a message or call came through.

Clicking send, Fang Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up again, she found the surrounding environment a bit unfamiliar.

She looked around and realized that while she was sending the message, she hadn’t been watching where she was going and had accidentally walked into a back alley behind the company.

This area wasn’t connected to the main street. Sometimes colleagues driving would take the company’s back door straight up to the offices to save a couple of steps.

Fang Xu was about to turn around and walk straight when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Her steps paused slightly. As she walked further in, she saw Pei Yunci standing around the corner with a man in front of her.

“President Pei, I have no intention of targeting the Pei Group, nor would I dare to. But my mother is getting old and simply wants to return to her roots. Opening my company in the country will not affect the Pei Group,” said Wei Zhou.

For the past six months, he had tried various methods to expand his business into the country, but he was always obstructed. Left with no choice, he decided to come and plead with Pei Yunci, asking her to let him off the hook.

Pei Yunci did not answer, but only asked, “How did you find this place?”

Her itinerary was not public. Even people within the Pei Group would not know it completely.

The fact that Wei Zhou could find her meant he had investigated her beforehand.

“I…” Wei Zhou hadn’t expected the person in front of him to be so perceptive. He stammered, “President Pei, I just want you to let us go.”

Pei Yunci didn’t want to talk to him, saying, “Move aside, or the consequences will be more severe.”

If she had to agree to everyone who pleaded with her, the Pei Group would not need to be a business; it would be more fitting as a charity organization.

“President Pei, I am your brother, after all. Do you truly have no feelings for me at all?”

What feelings should she have for you, Fang Xu thought to herself.

Hearing his words, she suddenly recalled the media reports she had seen before; this man was highly likely the one fabricating those stories.

“None,” Pei Yunci’s eyes turned colder, having completely lost patience: “Move.”

The two faced off for a moment, and Wei Zhou finally stepped aside.

Fang Xu, watching from behind, hadn’t yet let out a breath of relief when her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a strange figure suddenly appearing by a parked car nearby. The figure was holding a knife and heading straight for Pei Yunci.

Fang Xu’s heart pounded violently. Ignoring everything else, she quickly ran over and shouted a warning, “Be careful!”

Everything happened in a flash. Pei Yunci swiftly dodged, but Feng You did not give up, his knife still aimed at the location of Pei Yunci’s scent gland.

Wei Zhou also pulled a knife from his sleeve to assist Feng You, cornering Pei Yunci two against one.

He hadn’t anticipated any complications and anxiously yelled, “Hurry up!”

Pei Yunci sidestepped one knife, but Wei Zhou’s blade was already close to her neck.

With nowhere to retreat, she instantly planned the best countermeasure.

She kicked Feng You away, intending to grab the knife in front of her, but unexpectedly, Wei Zhou immediately released his Alpha pheromones, and the acrid scent of gasoline rushed over.

Pei Yunci’s movement paused slightly. In that instant, Fang Xu rushed in, raised her arm to block the sharp blade for her, and pulled the person to her side.

An overwhelming flood of citrus pheromones spread, cleanly suppressing the scent of gasoline. Fang Xu’s pheromone level was high, and her aggression was maximized. Wei Zhou and Feng You both frowned in pain.

As the discomfort lessened, Pei Yunci seized the knives from their hands, plunging them into each of their palms, pinning them to the ground and making it impossible for them to move.

Amidst the heart-wrenching screams, Pei Yunci made a call, “Come to the parking garage. Ten minutes, deal with the cleanup.”

After speaking, she looked at the girl, her gaze falling on her bleeding arm.

While blocking the knife, Fang Xu had inevitably been injured.

Pei Yunci grasped her wrist, walked to her car, opened the passenger door, and said in a cold tone, “Get in.”

“Okay.” Fang Xu’s pheromones were completely retracted by now, and she was obedient to the extreme.

Pei Yunci took the spare first-aid kit from the trunk. Without a word, she took out a bandage to stop the bleeding.

She didn’t often do this, and even though she was serious, the bandaging was somewhat crude. To make matters worse, Fang Xu moved restlessly.

Pei Yunci looked up at her: “Why are you dodging?”

Without a mark, the remaining Omega pheromones from before were very faint, but Fang Xu could still sense that the other party was in a bad mood right now.

She was angry.

Fang Xu pursed her lips and said, “I’m not dodging. It’s just that the blood is about to drip onto the car.”

Pei Yunci didn’t say anything, but her expression seemed even colder.

Fang Xu didn’t understand and didn’t dare to speak again, just watching the person bandage her up.

When the bandage was a little too tight, pressing on the wound, she couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Pei Yunci, though looking down, seemed to have eyes on the back of her head and asked, “Does it hurt?”

“A little, but it’s okay,” Fang Xu said.

Pei Yunci lightened her movements, tied the knot, and then suddenly leaned in close. Her hair fell to the girl’s neck, tickling her.

Fang Xu held her breath. After a moment, she realized the other party was helping her fasten her seatbelt.

Pei Yunci sat in the driver’s seat and injected herself with an inhibitor: “I’m taking you to the hospital.”

“…Mm.”

Fang Xu looked at the torn inhibitor packaging next to her, then looked at Pei Yunci, and still asked, “Are you okay?”

Pei Yunci said faintly, “Better than you.”

Fang Xu was at a loss for words again.

Only when they were approaching an intersection and she saw that the person hadn’t slowed down did she say, “Don’t run the red light. My bleeding has stopped.”

Pei Yunci remembered something and listened.

When they arrived at the hospital, they ran into Du Xing’an.

She first noticed the injury on Fang Xu’s arm: “What happened to you two?”

Pei Yunci didn’t explain, only saying, “Check her first.”

“I’ll call the surgical doctor,” Du Xing’an said. As she led Fang Xu away, she saw Pei Yunci still standing there and asked, “Aren’t you coming?”

Fang Xu also turned her head to look at her.

Pei Yunci met her gaze and said, “No.”

“Alright, I’ll take her over then.”

Du Xing’an was a doctor in the Gland Department. She had learned how to dress wounds and examine injuries, but she was still not as skilled as a surgical doctor.

“The wound is not deep; it hasn’t hit any vital spots. I’ll prescribe some medicine to apply. Remember to change the dressing and keep it dry in the future,” the doctor said.

Du Xing’an saw the bandage was stained with a ring of red and asked further, “No other issues?”

The doctor didn’t state it too definitively, saying, “If you want a detailed examination, you can have one.”

“Mm,” Du Xing’an said, “Apply the medicine and bandage it up first.”

The doctor nodded: “I’ll ask the nurse to come over.”

Du Xing’an wanted to do it herself, but after thinking about it, she only did consultations, and her bandaging skills were not as good as the nurse’s, so she agreed.

As the powder was applied, the wound began to sting. Fang Xu bit her lip to barely endure the pain.

Du Xing’an also saw the sweat on her forehead and started chatting to distract her: “How did you get injured like this?”

Fang Xu recounted the incident in the parking lot: “They had a knife, so I helped block it.”

Du Xing’an: “Do you know who those two men were?”

Fang Xu recalled: “One of them said he was Yunci’s brother. The other had a small birthmark on his left cheek, but I don’t know anything else.”

“I know who they are. They have a lot of nerve,” Du Xing’an said.

Fang Xu looked at her: “Who are they?”

Du Xing’an said, “One is Yunci’s illegitimate brother, and the other is the Alpha who once tried to force himself on her.”

Hearing this, a sense of fear immediately surfaced in Fang Xu’s heart.

It’s a good thing I ran into them today, otherwise, wouldn’t she have been in danger?

Meanwhile, outside the hospital.

Ji Qiongsui originally intended to pick up Du Xing’an from work but unexpectedly saw Pei Yunci first.

She asked curiously, “Why are you here?”

Pei Yunci said, “I ran into some trouble.”

She briefly explained the situation: “Wei Zhou and Feng You colluded and were waiting in the parking garage.”

Ji Qiongsui’s tone became serious: “Feng You?”

Back then, Feng You tried to force himself on Pei Yunci at a banquet and had his scent gland destroyed. The Feng family pleaded, and Pei Yunci agreed to spare his life. She hadn’t expected him to show up again now.

“Mm,” Pei Yunci said, “One wants revenge, and the other wants the Pei family.”

Their motives were different, but the problem could be solved as long as they eliminated her.

In the parking garage, Wei Zhou wasn’t there to plead with her; he was just trying to distract her so Feng You could tie her up and put her in the car. Unfortunately, she only noticed the person behind her and hadn’t expected Feng You to be hiding in the car.

Ji Qiongsui listened and asked with some concern, “Were you hurt?”

“No,” Pei Yunci paused for a moment before saying, “Fang Xu blocked it for me and hurt her arm.”

Ji Qiongsui: “Where is she?”

“Still being bandaged.”

While talking, Pei Yunci asked her, “Do you have a cigarette?”

“Didn’t you quit?” Ji Qiongsui took a cigarette and a lighter from her pocket.

She grew up with Pei Yunci and knew early on that the other person was not as calm and polite as she appeared on the surface. In high school, Pei Yunci was more rebellious than many of the noble families, smoking, mixing drinks, and enjoying extreme sports.

But after taking over the Pei Group, Pei Yunci had to maintain a good image as the face of the company, so she restrained herself a lot and stopped touching these things. Later, when her gland had problems, she also quit smoking.

The silver lighter flickered with a flame. Pei Yunci looked at the cigarette and replied flatly, “I’m annoyed.”

“Because of the Alpha?” Ji Qiongsui asked as a question, but she was basically sure of the answer.

Pei Yunci hummed: “She was injured because of me.”

She tried taking a puff of smoke, but after not having one for a long time, it made her cough a little.

The cigarette was clipped between her fingers, slowly burning.

Ji Qiongsui looked at her and stated a fact: “Yunci, you feel very different towards her.”

“If the person injured today were an assistant, a driver, or another stranger, you would pay the medical bills and give a thank-you fee, but you wouldn’t be worried and angry like this.”

Pei Yunci was silent for a moment before saying, “I know.”

She was smart and had realized her own emotions.

She had originally thought that only the girl had developed feelings in this relationship, but it turned out she hadn’t escaped either. This wasn’t a bad thing, and Pei Yunci hadn’t thought of avoiding it.

Ji Qiongsui raised an eyebrow: “And then? What are your thoughts?”

The cigarette was almost burned down to her fingers. Pei Yunci stubbed it out and said, “No thoughts. Just let her rest and recover well.”

Idiot, she dared to rush forward even when faced with a knife.

After speaking, she stood up, looking ready to enter the hospital.

Ji Qiongsui asked, “Do you want another cigarette?”

“Keep it for yourself.”

Ji Qiongsui smiled lightly, watched her back, and lit a cigarette for herself.

Only after finishing it did she follow her into the hospital.

Who would have thought that one day, she would see Pei Yunci fall into the big pit of emotions.

…

When Pei Yunci found them, Fang Xu’s arm had been rebandaged, and she was chatting with Du Xing’an.

Du Xing’an said, “Don’t worry, Yunci will definitely take care of those two men.”

“That’s good,” Fang Xu said seriously.

Du Xing’an watched her for a moment. Thinking of something, her tone was teasing: “Well, are you that concerned about Pei Yunci?”

She was Pei Yunci’s friend, so Fang Xu naturally didn’t dare to tell the truth: “No, just curious.”

Du Xing’an joked in response, “Oh, I see. I thought you liked her.”

The word “like” had recently become a sensitive point for Fang Xu, causing an automatic defensive reaction.

She quickly said, “I don’t like her. We’re just ordinary friends.”

As the words fell, footsteps sounded.

Fang Xu and Du Xing’an turned their heads simultaneously to look at the doorway.

Pei Yunci walked in, her gaze resting on Fang Xu, and she repeated the words Fang Xu had just said.

“Just friends?”
