After the Nerd Marked the Top Omega - Chapter 9

“Hypocritical!”

Du Xing’an didn’t get a reply, so she simply drove to Pei Yunci’s apartment. After pestering her relentlessly, she finally figured out the current progress.

“You went straight to her door, and then you still said you were letting her consider it—that’s too hypocritical!”

Pei Yunci glanced at her and said, “I was just letting her consider it clearly.”

If she were to sign the agreement, it naturally couldn’t be easily regretted.

Du Xing’an made herself at home and went to the refrigerator for a can of cola.

As the ring tab was pulled up, the soft hiss of the bubbles was suppressed. “Don’t tell me you’d really let go if she didn’t agree?”

Pei Yunci: “Why wouldn’t I?”

“That doesn’t fit your style,” Du Xing’an paused slightly, scrutinizing the person in front of her seriously, before finally concluding: “It really doesn’t fit.”

“Since you took the initiative to contact her, how could you possibly give the other person a chance to refuse?”

Pei Yunci was cold by nature, but most people who had worked with her praised her highly. They’d say things like she was young and promising, courteous and principled, decisive in action, and always able to propose solutions that satisfied everyone…

Only Du Xing’an, who grew up with her, knew that all the politeness, concession, and courtesy were fake!

If one had to use a single adjective to describe Pei Yunci, it would be “autocratic.”

Two words would be “autocratic tyrant.”

“If you set your mind on something, you’ll use all sorts of traps and schemes, and still make others feel like they’ve made a profit, helping you count your money with a smile.”

Du Xing’an had been tricked countless times since childhood, all lessons learned through blood and tears, and she had seen through it all.

“You’ve helped me count?” Pei Yunci’s voice was faint.

Du Xing’an snorted, counting on her fingers: “That year I was seven, you proactively asked me if I wanted the new limited-edition doll. What happened? You hid your dad’s illegitimate son’s doll, deliberately let him see mine, and just like that, you made him lose his right to inheritance.”

At that time, various influential families were present. Pei’s illegitimate son insisted that Du Xing’an had taken his doll, crying and causing a scene. A few minutes later, it was found in the garden, and he was completely disgraced. Pei Yunci’s father never let the illegitimate son show his face in public again.

“The year I was going abroad, you helped sort out the plane ticket and directly wired five million. The next domestic news I heard was that you had acquired the company of my illegitimate brother.”

When she went abroad, she was on very bad terms with her family. Her illegitimate brother tried to seize the opportunity to move up, acting impulsively, and fell right into the trap Pei Yunci had dug.

Speaking of this, Du Xing’an felt the past was truly unbearable to recall, and she mumbled, “Anyway, I definitely haven’t wronged you.”

Pei Yunci tapped her fingertip lightly, sent the processed email, and didn’t even lift her eyes: “You got the limited-edition doll, your illegitimate brother’s company is now under your name. You didn’t lose anything; it was merely mutual benefit and win-win.”

“But at least you should have told me beforehand!”

Du Xing’an often felt fortunate that she wasn’t the one who had made an enemy of Pei Yunci, or she would have been scammed down to the bone.

Pei Yunci gave her a cool look, her tone measured and unhurried: “If you knew, you would have messed things up.”

It was a very subtle way of saying: You are too stupid, you would have ruined it.

Du Xing’an: “…”

She took a deep breath, downed a cold gulp of cola, and returned to the original topic: “Alright, alright, I won’t mess things up for you. So this time, are you genuinely giving the Alpha a chance to consider, or is it just polite formality to maintain your image as a good person?”

Pei Yunci paused for a moment and said, “She spends her free time reading foreign language literature.”

Top of her class, excellent grades, diligent, and studious—she was a student highly valued by her advisor.

Such a person could be a classmate, a subordinate, a competitor…

But to be a pheromone comfort object seemed utterly out of place.

Hearing this, Du Xing’an also hissed: “True… A young, good student, she might even be a pillar of the nation someday.”

Kind and innocent, not yet stained by society, different from people like them who are accustomed to schemes, tricks, and hidden agendas.

If one pheromone comfort session could grant her anything she desired.

Was that a good thing or a bad thing?

Du Xing’an scratched her head: “Forget it, forget it, I can’t figure it out. If she refuses, I’ll help you find others.”

Pei Yunci lowered her gaze, looking at the envelope on the desk.

It was as if she saw that pair of round, beautiful eyes, filled with anxiety and worry, again.

Would she refuse?

Du Xing’an yawned, coughed, and said, “Well, I…”

Pei Yunci withdrew her thoughts: “No.”

Du Xing’an: “I haven’t even finished speaking! Besides, I’m not sleeping in your bed. It’s so late, why can’t I just sleep in a guest room!”

Pei Yunci: “You came by yourself. I didn’t invite you.”

Letting her into the apartment and asking half an hour’s worth of gossip was already a favor to her as a friend.

Du Xing’an picked up her car keys: “Heh, you’d better not let anyone else stay overnight in your apartment.”

Be alone for the rest of your life!

Milk tea shop.

11:00 PM.

Her part-time job finished, Fang Xu changed out of her uniform and slowly walked towards the university.

In high school, if she was under too much stress or encountered a difficult problem, she would go jogging or walking on the track to calm herself down.

The last time she met Pei Yunci, they added each other’s contact information.

But a week passed, and the chat box was completely empty, without any messages.

The other party was genuinely giving her time to consider.

Passing by that coffee shop on the way, Fang Xu unconsciously looked inside, then quickly pulled her gaze back.

Should she agree?

Fang Xu still had no answer in her mind, only more confusion.

The night wind blew, and the rustling sound of leaves rose. The streets were less crowded.

An AO couple walked past her. They seemed to be getting married soon, discussing, “I think both pairs of rings are beautiful. I don’t know which one to choose.”

“If you like them, why not buy both?”

“What, am I going to wear one on each hand?” The Omega playfully hit her partner’s shoulder.

“Just kidding,” the Alpha looked seriously at the picture on the screen: “Why don’t you try choosing in reverse? Think about which one you’d regret more if you didn’t buy it?”

“Hmm…”

The couple walked away, and Fang Xu seemed to be inspired.

Agreeing to the arrangement could alleviate the other party’s glandular condition, and her own glandular situation could also be relieved.

If she refused, without the pheromone comfort, Pei Yunci would…

Recalling the conclusion on the other party’s medical report, Fang Xu suddenly did not want to imagine further.

The scales in her heart wavered, finally tilting to one side.

She pursed her lips and opened the blank chat box.

Pei Yunci’s profile picture was very simple: a light blue sky with a cloud floating in the distance.

[Fang Xu: Hello, I have considered it clearly.]

[Fang Xu: I am willing to help with the auxiliary treatment.]

Not long after the message was sent, her phone rang, and the screen jumped.

Pei Yunci called her directly.

Fang Xu’s heart stopped for a moment. She quickly answered the call, her voice carrying an unintentional nervousness: “Hello?”

“Have you thought it through?”

The clear, cool voice was slightly distorted but still pleasant, making Fang Xu’s earlobe tingle.

She casually rubbed it, but it only felt hotter: “Yes, I have. But I have a few requirements.”

When she spoke the latter sentence, Fang Xu’s voice slowed down, and the hand holding the phone tightened slightly.

“That’s fine,” Pei Yunci on the other end of the phone seemed unsurprised. “Shall we meet to discuss it?”

Fang Xu: “Okay.”

Only after hanging up the phone did she realize that her heart was beating faster than usual.
