After the System Called Me Mom, My Arch-Nemesis Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 48

Lu Lingzhi’s fingers lightly brushed the stray hairs near Jiang Mingyue’s cheek, tenderly tucking them behind her ear, leaving that fair profile completely exposed to her gaze. She leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss against her, warm lips touching cool skin.

She whispered, her breath brushing against Jiang Mingyue’s earlobe, “Shall I continue?”

Seeing that the person in her arms remained silent, Lu Lingzhi’s fingertips slid toward the back of her neck, gently parting the thick long hair to reveal the fragile Omega gland. She first touched that patch of skin with her soft lips, and then, her teeth tentatively grazed the tender area.

The person in her arms instantly stiffened.

Lu Lingzhi lowered her eyes, lost in thought for a moment.

Switching perspectives, as an original Omega herself, she should be particularly considerate of other Omegas. I should give her some foreplay, kissing face to face is more comfortable.

Thinking herself thoroughly considerate, the Alpha Lu Lingzhi maintained her posture and said, “It’s better to kiss face to face, you’ll feel more comfortable that way.”

Jiang Mingyue: “…”

From the moment they entered this place, to being kissed on the cheek, to having her gland touched, Jiang Mingyue’s brain had been in a state of total shutdown. Didn’t we agree you were going to ask me something? Is the plot jumping straight onto the highway already?

They had already experienced a “mismatch” incident yesterday because they weren’t on the same wavelength.

It wasn’t until she heard the line, “It’s better to kiss face to face, you’ll feel more comfortable,” that it clicked.

I probably haven’t misunderstood.

Her pheromones are unstable again.

So she wants to do it with me here… and on horseback at that…

That’s why she cleared the area.

What she actually wanted to ask just now was whether she could ** [censored/do it] with me.

Because I hugged her and kissed her, she mistakenly thought I agreed.

But I’m a complete novice. I really have no experience with ** [censored/sex]. Jiang Mingyue’s heart was in a state of civil war, her face a deep crimson, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz: “Can we… not do it on the horse?” Maybe go to a hotel or something.

“No,” Lu Lingzhi interrupted her. Jiang Mingyue wanted to go to the ground and have her take off her jacket to use as a mat. Lu Lingzhi remembered the limited-edition jacket she had sacrificed two days ago. I only brought two limited-edition jackets in total.

One was ruined by you, are you going to ruin my last one too?

I only wore the last one twice.

I’m wearing this one for the first time today.

Even though our family isn’t short on money… letting me use my limited-edition clothes as disposables? What was the point of me staying up late to snag these clothes? It would just make me look like a rich fool.

“If you think it’s dirty, I don’t,” Lu Lingzhi said. Glancing at the jacket she was wearing, remembering she’d had it on for less than two hours, her mental defense crumbled: “You’re being too much.”

Jiang Mingyue looked up at her. Too much? It does seem a bit much.

Thinking of Jingyun Winery, thinking of how she saved my company… if she wants to **, fine.

No wonder they say every industry has its “hidden rules.”

I can certainly endure this kind of hardship. They do it once every two days, what does she have to be shy about?

Everyone has a first time. I’ll go back and watch some relevant videos, next time I’ll work harder to satisfy her.

“Hurry up, I’m feeling a bit weak,” Lu Lingzhi couldn’t help but urge. Since Jiang Mingyue was feeling so uncomfortable, she shouldn’t dawdle. If I hadn’t been feeling so weak lately, I definitely would have helped you turn around on the horse myself.

“…Coming.”

Fine, you’re weak, but you’re quite impatient. You play quite wild.

Slightly sickly girl.

Lu Lingzhi reached out and pulled Jiang Mingyue onto the horse to face her. Her heavy breath fanned over Jiang Mingyue’s face. “I… I’m ready.”

Jiang Mingyue: “…”

Looking at how weak you are, with your breath so unsteady, how exactly are you ‘ready’? What did you even prepare? I’ve never seen someone so weak yet so lecherously impatient.

Lu Lingzhi’s hand rested on Jiang Mingyue’s face, her lips meeting the other’s. In the entanglement of lips and tongues, faint, blushing sounds of moisture filled the air.

The stallion beneath them seemed to be tugged by the reins and began to walk slowly. Lu Lingzhi had to use one hand to clumsily hold the reins for direction while the other hand firmly supported Jiang Mingyue’s back, pressing her deeper against herself.

Jiang Mingyue was forced to tilt her head back to respond to this deep, lingering kiss, while simultaneously straining her meager equestrian skills to maintain their balance on the horse and avoid falling off together.

This secretive and thrilling scene actually sparked a trace of hard to admit excitement in her panic.

Just as she was being kissed into a daze, her consciousness blurring, the corner of her eye caught something sharp, in the momentary gaps of Lu Lingzhi’s deep, focused gaze, the color of her pupils was quietly undergoing a strange and magnificent transformation.

One eye’s color gradually turned into a deep, swirling ocean blue.

The other settled into an extremely pure obsidian black.

One blue, one black like two mysterious, alluring heterochromatic stars, burning and gazing at her within the square inch where they embraced and their breaths merged.

Lu Lingzhi circled Jiang Mingyue’s waist, stroking from top to bottom, again and again.

Jiang Mingyue tilted her head back, her whole body trembling.

At the entrance of the stables, a sudden commotion and the sound of voices broke the indoor intimacy and tranquility.

“Do you know who I am? Why won’t you let me in?” a slightly sharp female voice pierced through.

“…Mm.” Jiang Mingyue startled out of her intoxication, letting out a suppressed quiver and squeezing the horse’s belly. Feeling the command, the stallion immediately picked up its hooves, changing from a slow walk to a trot.

Lu Lingzhi reacted instantly, tightening her arm around Jiang Mingyue’s waist while the other hand gripped the reins tightly to control the direction. Her brows furrowed slightly, a flash of annoyance and vigilance in her eyes at being disturbed.

“Hold onto me tight!” Lu Lingzhi barked. Without hesitation, she nudged the horse with her legs, “Hiyah!”

The black stallion shot out like an arrow from a bow, carrying the two tightly embraced people toward the exit of the indoor arena.

Outside

Mrs. Fang, who had originally planned to leave, heard the sound of a leaf being blown near the stables. She remembered that Xie Fuyun was very good at playing leaves, so the person blowing it must be her precious daughter.

She looked around and couldn’t find her, but passing by the indoor arena, she heard the sound of hooves and concluded she must be inside. Now, faced with the obstruction of Xie Fuyun’s assistant, she was certain the person was in there.

She wanted to see exactly what the person looked like, so she turned back. “Why can’t I enter this indoor arena?”

The assistant said, “You cannot enter right now.”

Beside her, Fang Yuan’s eyes flickered as a plan formed. She feigned anxiety: “Miss Assistant, I was in there just now and dropped my earrings worth hundreds of thousands. It’s so messy inside, what if they get stepped on?”

While they were entangled in the dispute.

“Step aside! Everyone move!” The assistant’s face suddenly changed as she shouted to the crowd at the door.

Before the words had even faded, a rapid, thunderous sound of hooves approached, accompanied by a neigh.

Under the terrified gazes of the crowd, a magnificent black stallion burst out from the dim interior like a bolt of black lightning. The loud thud of hooves and the rushing wind scared the Fang mother and daughter and the staff into screams, causing them to scramble backward. Fang Yuan nearly fell, her face pale.

Lu Lingzhi gripped the reins tight. At the moment of charging through the door, relying on her powerful core strength and horsemanship, she yanked the reins hard.

The horse reared its front hooves with a long neigh, finally settling down under the pressure of the S-class Alpha pheromones Lu Lingzhi emitted, pacing uneasily in the center of the clearing.

When Lu Lingzhi burst out, her peripheral vision caught the mother and daughter. One looked familiar, it was Fang Yuan.

No wonder the Great Villain sent a mask.

Lu Lingzhi put on the mask, covering most of her face and leaving only her strangely colored eyes exposed. With one hand patting Jiang Mingyue’s back, she asked softly, “Who is that woman next to Fang Yuan?”

Still shaken, Jiang Mingyue leaned into her arms and followed her gaze: “We just met. President Xie had Fang Yuan apologize to me before and suspended cooperation with the Fang family, likely to pave the way for you. They seem to have been asking about you, but President Xie seemingly blurred your age information, saying you were a minor.”

“Got it.” She pulled Jiang Mingyue closer into her embrace, took off her jacket, and draped it over her. “Lean against me. I’m here, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Don’t speak.”

Lu Lingzhi gave a light tug on the reins, turning the horse around. The black stallion paced elegantly back toward the Fang mother and daughter and the assistant. The hooves hitting the sand made a dull thud that seemed to knock against everyone’s hearts.

She looked down from her high vantage point, her gaze finally landing on the assistant. Her voice came through the mask: “Miss Assistant, who are they?”

The assistant bowed immediately, her tone respectful: “Second Young Miss, this is Mrs. Fang of the Fang Group and Miss Fang Yuan. They claimed a pair of earrings worth hundreds of thousands might have been dropped in the indoor arena and wanted to go in to search. We didn’t expect to disturb you.”

“Second Young Miss?” Mrs. Fang looked up sharply at the title. The person on the horse wore a mask, making their face and age hard to determine, but from the voice, she sounded about sixteen or seventeen.

She had striking eyes.

One was as dark as a deep pool, the other as blue as cold ice, sending a shiver down one’s spine.

Fang Yuan’s gaze, however, fell on the person in Lu Lingzhi’s arms. She tugged her mother’s sleeve. Mrs. Fang followed her gaze and saw the person in Lu Lingzhi’s embrace, the back of her head tied with a silk ribbon.

It was Jiang Mingyue.

So that was it.

Everything seemed to have an answer.

The fundamental reason Xie Fuyun stood up for Jiang Mingyue was here, her daughter was dating Jiang Mingyue.

The one who attacked her daughter was this Second Young Miss Xie.

Her style of doing things was indeed a direct legacy of President Xie.

Back then, President Xie pursued the Medical University beauty, Chang Xi.

This one was even more formidable, no, the pupil had surpassed the master.

The Second Young Miss Xie, a minor, dared to skip school for puppy love and had hooked the current Medical University beauty, Jiang Mingyue.

Not only that, but these two were just inside…

The scent of pheromones that hadn’t fully dissipated in the air seemed to confirm a bold suspicion.

They play so wild.

You have to hand it to the youth these days; they really have infinite energy.

Then, Lu Lingzhi’s voice rang out again, analyzing the situation methodically: “Miss Assistant, ask Miss Fang what brand of earrings she lost. Then, you all go inside and look.”

“Since Miss Fang is the heiress of the Fang Group and our esteemed VIP customer, we cannot be negligent. Prepare drinks and desserts. If they can’t be found, we’ll report it to the police. If they’re truly lost, let the legal department handle it and negotiate properly.”

These words directly roasted Fang Yuan’s clumsy excuse over a fire.

Where were there any earrings? It was a complete fabrication.

Fang Yuan’s face turned deathly pale as she waved her hands frantically: “No need, Second Young Miss. There’s really no need to make such a fuss. I probably just misplaced them somewhere. I’ll just go in and take a quick look myself, it won’t take long.”

Lu Lingzhi feigned a kind of innocent, youthful responsibility: “Miss Fang, I know you mean well. Since the staff here are paid by our family, searching for a VIP customer’s belongings is their job. What if word gets out? What would happen to the Xie family’s reputation? The media would say the Second Young Miss Xie uses her power to bully others and refuses to help customers find lost items.”

Lu Lingzhi’s gaze fell on the assistant. “Go make the arrangements now.”

“Second Young Miss, I just remembered, the items might be in my car.” Afraid of being exposed, Fang Yuan quickly said, “We’ll take our leave.”

Lu Lingzhi drew a riding crop to block the Fang mother and daughter.

“Leaving?” She slightly narrowed those magnificent and eerie heterochromatic eyes, the blend of azure and obsidian radiating an extremely dangerous aura as she uttered chilling words: “Did I give you permission to leave?”

The Fang mother and daughter shuddered under the sudden pressure, freezing in place.

She’s even fiercer than Xie Fuyun.

“Apologize to me. Did you hear me?”

She acts more and more like Xie Fuyun.

Why does this mother-daughter duo always want us to apologize, apologize?

Mrs. Fang’s face darkened as she said, “Second Young Miss, I am your elder. Don’t you know the Xie and Fang families are old family friends? Do you understand respecting your elders? Using force in front of an elder…”

“Respecting elders?” Lu Lingzhi acted as if she’d heard a joke. “Did I eat your family’s rice? Did I drink your family’s water? Did I spend your family’s money? Or did I crawl out of your womb? Are you trying to pull rank with me? Please tell me your achievements, how much charity have you done, or what contributions have you made to this country?”

“You!” Mrs. Fang was fuming with rage and fear. “Even President Xie wouldn’t dare speak to me like that! You little brat!”

She’s even more unreasonable than Xie Fuyun.

“She respects you, but did you respect me? The assistant told you not to enter the stables. An elder must have virtue for a junior to show respect. There’s a popular saying online: If a child has a problem, don’t try to communicate with their family, because the child is the one with the mildest ‘illness’.”

“And Miss Fang just said she was looking for earrings worth hundreds of thousands. I help you look, and then you say don’t bother, they might be in the car. If they aren’t in the car, will you then say they’re at home? Are you making a fool of me? Or do you think because I’m young, I’m easy to trick and bully? Miss Fang’s mouth full of lies surely comes from the Fang family’s upbringing.”

“Is the Xie family blind? To be ‘old family friends’ with people who tell nothing but lies.”

The Fang mother and daughter were left speechless.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Lingzhi’s gaze dropped to the quiet Jiang Mingyue in her arms.

Instantly, all the frost and hostility on her face melted away like snow in the warm sun: “Sister, I know you mean well and are afraid I’ll get into trouble.”

She acted as if she really felt some tugging, sighing helplessly and dotingly, “Stop secretly pulling on my clothes. I know, you’re soft-hearted and kind, and you want me to say less and not blow things out of proportion.”

She pressed her cheek against Jiang Mingyue’s temple, nuzzling her with extreme intimacy, but the second half of her sentence carried a bone-chilling obsession: “But Sister, you must understand,” her voice dropped lower, like a lover’s most private whisper, “I am no soft target. In this world, only you can squeeze me, and I would do so gladly. But others… I will…”

She was putting on a one woman show, using both carrot and stick.

Jiang Mingyue: “…”

Did I pull your clothes?

Your inner drama queen is out again.

Jiang Mingyue had no choice but to play along, she couldn’t let her do a monologue. “And so?”

“Sister, stop pinching me. Fine, fine, I’ll listen to you. I won’t lower myself to their level today, alright?”

She waved her hand lazily, as if shooing away flies. “Since my sister is pleading for you, I’ll let it go today. Miss Assistant, escort Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang out. From now on, my stables do not welcome them. Blacklist the Fang family.”

She simply wanted Fang Yuan, and everyone at the Medical University, to know.

No one was allowed to bully Jiang Mingyue.

And that the Second Young Miss of the Xie family was silver tongued, don’t even think about playing mind games with her.
