After Transmigrating Into A Novel, Not Only Did I Become An Omega, But I Also Provoked The Male Lead’s Mother - Chapter 35

“Sister, is what you said true?! Aaaaaah!” Bai Zhi screamed.

Qin Yue thought, Ling Jixiao is Su Yao’s boss. There’s no reason for her to lie. “It’s probably true!”

Bai Zhi instantly calmed down, remembering that Su Yao had indeed gone on a blind date last time.

“No way! I’m going out tomorrow!” Bai Zhi declared. She was determined to sabotage Su Yao’s blind date!

“Your exams are coming up! Why are you still running out?” Li Nuonuo asked in surprise.

Bai Zhi nodded earnestly. “I finally met an Alpha worth risking everything for. Even failing my exams wouldn’t matter!”

Qin Yue let out a chuckle. “Good luck!”

Just as Qin Yue sat down with her books to resume studying, Li Nuonuo leaned over and whispered, “Qin Yue, can I ask… was that person downstairs your…?”

Qin Yue paused for a moment. What exactly was her relationship with Ling Jixiao now? Friends, right?

“She’s just… an older sister,” Qin Yue replied slowly.

“Really?!” Li Nuonuo’s eyes lit up. “I thought you two were a couple! Oh, so you’re not? Can you give me her contact info? She’s so pretty—I’d love to try and pursue her!”

Hearing this, a pang of jealousy stirred in Qin Yue’s heart. She suddenly regretted describing Ling Jixiao as just an “older sister.” But it was true—they were just friends. Ling Jixiao was so exceptional; it was natural for her to have admirers and even other suitors. But Ling Jixiao had confessed her feelings to Qin Yue! Ling Jixiao was supposed to be her perfect match! Hers!

“I…” Qin Yue struggled to speak. In that moment, she realized she didn’t want to give Li Nuonuo Ling Jixiao’s contact information at all. A possessive feeling had taken root in her heart.

Qin Yue smiled half-heartedly. “I’ll have to ask her first. She’ll have to agree before I can give you her contact information.”

“Oh, okay,” Li Nuonuo nodded, thinking this made sense. “Please do ask her!”

Qin Yue lowered her head, narrowing her eyes. She consoled herself with the thought that Ling Jixiao was currently interested in her.

With this thought, Qin Yue returned to her seat and opened the gift Ling Jixiao had just sent her.

The sight of the item inside the box made Qin Yue’s eyes widen in shock, and she quickly snapped the lid shut.

After a moment of recovery, she angrily pulled out her phone and texted Ling Jixiao:

“How could you call this priceless diamond necklace a ‘local specialty’?!?!”

When Ling Jixiao had described it as a “local specialty,” Qin Yue, judging by the size of the box, had assumed it was a handkerchief or scarf, so she’d accepted it without hesitation.

But a necklace this valuable was far too precious! She absolutely couldn’t accept it!

Ling Jixiao seemed busy on the other end, taking a while to respond. “Uh… diamonds are a local specialty in that country…”

Qin Yue laughed in exasperation. That excuse was utterly flimsy! She wanted to snap back, “And why did you just happen to be on a business trip to South Africa, the diamond capital of the world?!”

Knowing Ling Jixiao had a whole arsenal of excuses, she held her tongue. Instead, she carefully stored the necklace, determined to return it the next time she saw him.

After finally getting some free time, Su Yao was practically dragged to a blind date by her mother.

“You’re already 32—turning 33 next year, 34 by the traditional count, practically 40! And you still don’t have a partner. How can I feel at ease leaving you like this…?” Her mother sobbed.

Su Yao rubbed her temples, feeling helpless. “Mom, I know.”

After hanging up, she let out a long sigh.

In today’s society, it’s perfectly normal for women in their thirties to be unmarried. There’s really no need to rush.

Her father had passed away early, and her mother, worn down by years of hardship, now struggled with poor health and required regular hospital check-ups.

Su’s mother, convinced her own days were numbered due to her frail health, clung to traditional beliefs that Beta women should marry and have children as soon as possible. This urgency drove her to frantically set up blind dates for Su Yao, hoping she’d find a partner to keep her company and ease her mother’s worries.

Su Yao had grown numb to the matchmaking efforts.

Among the previous dates, a few had shown interest in pursuing a relationship. However, Su Yao’s demanding job, requiring her to be constantly available to her superiors, left her little time for dates or casual conversations. Moreover, her annual salary of over a million yuan—excluding bonuses and commissions—deterred many Beta men.

For today’s blind date, Su’s mother swore it was a high-quality Beta man—a manager at a large company, guaranteed to get along with Su Yao.

Su Yao didn’t take it seriously and just threw on some casual clothes before heading out.

The meeting place was a coffee shop.

By the window sat a refined man, sipping his coffee with calm composure.

“Sorry, I’m late. There was a traffic jam,” Su Yao said as she approached.

The man stood up quickly, showing no trace of annoyance. Instead, surprise flickered across his face. “You’re…?”

“Yes, I’m Su Yao,” she confirmed with a nod.

They sat down.

The man smiled awkwardly. “Sorry about that. At first, I thought you were an Alpha.”

“It’s fine,” Su Yao replied.

She was used to being mistaken for an Alpha.

After the widespread adoption of Suppressant Patches, public spaces were free from the chaotic release of pheromones. As a result, people now largely judged gender based on height.

Alphas are generally taller, especially male Alphas, who typically range from 180 to 190 centimeters, while female Alphas are usually between 170 and 180 centimeters. In the early days, Alphas, being tall and strong, gradually became the dominant force in society. However, in modern times, where gender equality is valued, some older individuals still favor Alphas over Betas and Omegas.

Betas are more average in appearance, with both men and women typically standing between 160 and 170 centimeters. Generally, male Betas are slightly taller than female Betas.

Omegas are delicate and petite, often under 160 centimeters in height.

Of course, judging gender by height is an outdated practice. With rapid social development and improved living standards, people now have access to better nutrition, leading to exceptions who exceed typical height ranges. Su Yao is one such example.

Standing at 172 centimeters, Su Yao has a slender waist and long legs, making her slightly taller than most male Betas. Ling Jixiao, an Alpha, is only 176 centimeters tall, which often leads people to subconsciously mistake Su Yao for an Alpha.

Of course, that was just their first meeting. As they interacted more, Su Yao realized that he wasn’t an Alpha, but a Beta.

Mr. Wen, the male Beta, was a polite and gentlemanly man—at least that was Su Yao’s impression during their conversation.

Their similar professions provided common topics of discussion, and the conversation flowed easily. Both showed interest in meeting again.

Mr. Wen was smiling as he spoke when he suddenly felt an icy gaze, sending a shiver down his spine.

He instinctively glanced around and, through the floor-to-ceiling glass, saw a figure standing outside the shop behind Su Yao, glaring at him with intense hostility.

Mr. Wen froze, then subconsciously glanced back. There was no one behind him—so was this person staring at him?

But he didn’t recognize the man at all!

Had he inadvertently offended him somehow?

Su Yao was speaking when she noticed Mr. Wen repeatedly glancing behind her. She instinctively turned to look.

Bai Zhi was glaring hatefully at the man. But when she saw Su Yao turn, her expression instantly transformed from sinister to radiant, the speed of the change remarkable.

Mr. Wen remained silent, seemingly aware of where he had offended her.

Su Yao was simply surprised to encounter Bai Zhi. Without giving it much thought, she assumed Bai Zhi was out shopping and had passed by. She nodded politely and turned back to continue her conversation with the man.

Seeing Su Yao turn away and resume talking with the man, Bai Zhi angrily bit her fingernails, glaring resentfully at Mr. Wen through the glass window.

Under Bai Zhi’s intense stare, Mr. Wen felt uneasy, unable to sit still.

When Mr. Wen glanced over again, Bai Zhi mouthed, “She’s mine!”

Mr. Wen understood. He realized this must be a forbidden romance, a couple forced into a matchmaking scenario due to family opposition.

He looked at Su Yao with newfound sympathy.

Su Yao found Mr. Wen’s sympathetic gaze somewhat bewildering.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Mr. Wen excused himself and left.

With the irritating figure gone, Bai Zhi bounded into the coffee shop, beaming.

“Sister!” Bai Zhi sat down beside Su Yao with a cheerful grin.

Su Yao quite liked the spirited girl. She called the server over and ordered a sweet milkshake for Bai Zhi. “Why are you here alone?”

“Yep.” Bai Zhi’s eyes darted mischievously, then she sighed dramatically. “He stood me up.”

Su Yao offered a few words of comfort, and Bai Zhi eagerly took the opportunity to ask, “Sister, do you have anything else to do? If not, would you like to watch a movie with me? I can’t get a refund for the tickets!”

The little girl looked at Su Yao with wide, pleading eyes, full of anticipation.

Su Yao thought for a moment. She didn’t have any other plans, so she nodded in agreement.

Bai Zhi’s grin stretched almost to her ears. Before leaving, she went to the restroom and secretly bought tickets for the same romantic movie that couples always watch, using her phone to purchase the nearest theater’s tickets.

At the movie theater, Bai Zhi and Su Yao settled into their seats.

The lights dimmed, and the film began.

At first, Su Yao didn’t think much of it, just helping the girl pass the time. But as the movie progressed, she realized something was off.

The content grew increasingly adult, culminating in a deep kiss between the protagonists. The sound of their passionate kiss was long and sticky, making hearts race.

Uncomfortable, Su Yao averted her gaze.

Bai Zhi noticed Su Yao’s discomfort. This was exactly the reaction she’d hoped for. Seizing the moment—just as the on-screen couple’s kiss was about to escalate into more intimate acts—she leaned close to Su Yao’s ear and whispered, “What are you thinking, Sister?”

Su Yao was speechless. What could she possibly be thinking? She was just an innocent old lady—what thoughts could she possibly have?

“Nothing,” Su Yao answered woodenly.

Bai Zhi secretly smirked. As the movie’s protagonists began lying on the bed, emitting sticky, intimate sounds, Bai Zhi leaned closer to Su Yao. “Sister…” Her voice was syrupy, sending goosebumps down Su Yao’s spine. “Sister, I’m a little cold.”

“Sister, do you want to… hold me?”
