Flash Marriage with a Seductive Beautiful Omega After Being Dumped/Having the Engagement Broken - Chapter 23.1

As if she couldn’t stand her deliberate coyness, she added, “Wouldn’t it be better to honestly say you’re in your estrus period? Why pretend.”

She was used to tying her hair up, and the scent blocker patch on the back of her neck was easily visible. Coupled with the fact that she had accidentally leaked pheromones in front of Chu Yucheng yesterday when the patch failed, it was difficult for Chu Yucheng not to know she was in estrus.

As for Shen Jiangxu, who was also in heat, going out as normal, Chu Yucheng merely attributed it to a different situation.

It was indeed different. Shen Jiangxu’s heat was already on its third day, and with her temporary marking, it didn’t affect going out with proper protection.

Medically speaking, if Bai Youxi’s pheromones weren’t controlled for a day, she would essentially remain in the most turbulent first day of her estrus period.

Chu Yucheng had only just arrived yesterday and didn’t know what she was usually like, so it was normal for her to assume her estrus period only started yesterday.

Bai Youxi lifted her eyes, looking at Chu Yucheng, who was still getting goosebumps, “Didn’t Miss Chu ask?”

Chu Yucheng was speechless and glared at her.

Seeing that Chu Yucheng didn’t intend to ask anything further, Bai Youxi turned the tables and asked, “Have you and Sister known each other for a long time?”

Her tone was a little cautious, completely contrary to the bold attitude just moments ago that had given Chu Yucheng goosebumps.

Chu Yucheng’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped Bai Youxi’s weakness. She crossed her arms over her chest, her attitude arrogant, “She didn’t even tell you that?”

Bai Youxi lowered her gaze, “Mhm.”

She looked very docile.

Chu Yucheng laughed heartily, “Figures, she even hid the marriage. She really doesn’t trust you, does she?”

Bai Youxi’s heart suddenly clenched.

Chu Yucheng raised her chin even higher, “Yes, we’ve known each other for a long time. If you want to know about me and her, go ask her.”

She put down her hands and walked over, “This perfume doesn’t suit you. I’ll bring you a suitable one next time.”

Bai Youxi stepped aside for her, watched her walk back into the room, and stood there for a while before moving to the sofa.

She didn’t understand Chu Yucheng.

Chu Yucheng’s words sounded strange, as if she didn’t approve of her at all, yet she also held some kind of expectation.

Chu Yucheng should have smelled the same perfume on her and Shen Jiangxu, yet her tone when she said “doesn’t suit you” was calm and peaceful, without any hint of sarcasm or anger.

And she said next time, she would bring her a gift?

Could she have misunderstood something, for example, that Shen Jiangxu and Chu Yucheng were actually just close friends?

Moreover, Shen Jiangxu said last night that their relationship wasn’t what she imagined.

Although she hadn’t exactly expressed her imagination to Shen Jiangxu, since Shen Jiangxu said so, she probably wouldn’t have guessed wrong.

Bai Youxi felt her mind was fighting with itself. On one hand, she told herself to trust Shen Jiangxu and Chu Yucheng’s attitude, but on the other hand, she kept remembering Niannian and Chu Yucheng’s identical natural curls.

Could it be a coincidence?

Or did they also have an accident?

Five months. No matter how many times she counted on her fingers, Niannian’s birthday was five months apart from hers.

If only Niannian were her child.

About an hour later, Chu Yucheng reappeared in the living room. She hadn’t brought luggage and was now wearing yesterday’s outfit again.

Her voluminous curly hair fell past her ears, her already rosy lips were painted bright red, contrasting sharply with the black sunglasses perched on her high nose bridge. She was so vibrant she made it hard to look away.

She didn’t even acknowledge Bai Youxi on the sofa, walking directly to the entrance to change her shoes. Only after her ten-centimeter heels were on did she turn back to look at her.

“By the way, Shen Jiangxu holds a grudge.”

Seeing Chu Yucheng like this, Bai Youxi finally felt the reality of meeting a big star, and was momentarily stunned, even stumbling as she got off the sofa.

She was rushing towards the entrance when she heard Chu Yucheng’s statement and was instantly bewildered.

Chu Yucheng wasn’t waiting for her. She turned around and walked out the door.

Before the door closed, she saw Chu Yucheng raise her arm and wave, as if saying goodbye.

Bai Youxi stopped, not going any further.

After that, Bai Youxi scratched her head and thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out why Chu Yucheng said Shen Jiangxu held a grudge.

At least she recalled every single detail of her interactions with Shen Jiangxu, including the night four years ago that Shen Jiangxu didn’t remember, and she didn’t find anything that fit the description of “holding a grudge.”

In fact, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that although Shen Jiangxu looked cold, emotionless, and didn’t smile much, she was actually extremely thoughtful and always considerate of her feelings.

So, was Chu Yucheng perhaps talking about herself?

Was Chu Yucheng the one being held a grudge against?

Bai Youxi tried hard to remember everything that happened yesterday and this morning, and at least during this time, she felt it didn’t seem likely.

Perhaps she wasn’t referring to things that happened in this short day. Bai Youxi couldn’t find the source and decided to put it aside for now.

But when she decided not to think about anything, the memory of “she really doesn’t trust you” lightly dropped in.

Bai Youxi couldn’t help but think about it repeatedly.

She had felt it.

She had felt it even before she honestly said “it hurts” to Shen Jiangxu yesterday.

Shen Jiangxu brought her home, gave her pheromones, had skin to skin contact with her, and married her, but she didn’t trust her.

Her understanding of Shen Jiangxu still stopped at the information she found on her tablet. Their conversations remained in the here and now. So even though they were intimate night after night, the distance between them remained immense.

Thinking carefully, she knew she had been involved with Shen Jiangxu four years ago, but Shen Jiangxu didn’t remember anything.

Shen Jiangxu merely accidentally broke her regulator tube on her way to pick up Niannian early one day and then brought her, who only had an ID card on her, back home.

How could Shen Jiangxu not know her?

This Alpha who married her didn’t say anything, couldn’t be searched for anything, and never even told the truth about whether her body hurt or not. How could such a person be trusted?

Bai Youxi thought about many chaotic things, and the more she thought, the more she felt how much of a jerk she was.

Because she felt embarrassed, because she was used to it, because she felt awkward, because she didn’t know how to speak up, she hadn’t said anything, allowing Shen Jiangxu to bear all the pressure alone.

They were no longer in a relationship where they mutually felt apologetic because of an accident when they first met. Regardless of the process, they were legally recognized wives. Niannian trusted her and liked her so much…

It was truly awful.

Her legs, tucked in the corner of the sofa, began to feel numb. Bai Youxi raised her hands and held her head.

Because she had been sitting for so long, her vision seemed to be sparkling with gold stars when she moved. In a blur, Bai Youxi suddenly woke up with a start, frantically reached for her phone nearby, opened WeChat, and tapped into the “Wife” chat.

The class was dismissed. The young faces that had been grimacing and wailing during practice were now all beaming with post-survival smiles. The young girls in their practice clothes walked out of the classroom together, and as they passed the door, they enthusiastically called out, “Goodbye, Teacher Shen.”

Although Teacher Shen’s class was always strict, Teacher Shen was simply too beautiful and too immensely talented, so skilled that they were beyond reach. Her demonstrations always made them stare, unable to blink.

Teacher Shen was not yet thirty. Dancers this young and skilled usually didn’t only appear in classrooms; they would be on stage, in front of the camera, in places people could easily see.

But Teacher Shen was different; she only appeared here.

The students were also curious, but they couldn’t find out any more information about Teacher Shen. So, they cherished Teacher Shen’s lessons even more, hoping they too could become skilled students taught by Teacher Shen.

So the students still really liked Teacher Shen, and even secretly tucked away a few shy, blushing faces within that liking.

However, Teacher Shen was truly aloof. Even with those kinds of thoughts, few people dared to genuinely step forward and express their feelings, which saved Teacher Shen a lot of trouble.

Shen Jiangxu watched the group of children, whose every pore exuded youthful vitality, responding to their “Goodbye, Teacher Shen.”

“Go back and practice more. I’ll check next class.”

Wails and light laughter intertwined, and the large dance studio gradually emptied.

It was noon. All the students and teachers at South City Art University were rushing to the cafeteria, and no one stayed for long.

Except for Shen Jiangxu.

The students left quickly, and the entire floor quieted down. Shen Jiangxu closed the door and returned to the classroom, dancing in front of the wall of mirrors.

Without music, without rhythm, Shen Jiangxu seemed to move purely from the heart, starting with basic movements, and rapidly increasing the difficulty with the turn of her wrists.

Shen Jiangxu’s dance was extremely enjoyable to watch, her movements graceful and powerful, with exquisite transitions, making it feel as if she didn’t even need to breathe. When she leaped into the air, she seemed to hover mid-air. Anyone who saw it couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.

With a light, agile backflip landing, Shen Jiangxu’s chest rose and fell slightly, and she turned her eyes towards the doorway.

Outside the door, Teacher Meng Xia from the folk dance department was caught red handed by those pine-smoke gray eyes. She smiled apologetically, opened the door, but clapped her hands vigorously, “Teacher Shen, that was wonderful! Is this also choreography for Senior Sister Wen?”

Shen Jiangxu denied it, “Just dancing casually.”

She added, “Is Teacher Meng looking for something?”

Meng Xia quickly shook her head, “No, I just left late and happened to see you. Want to go eat together?”

Shen Jiangxu had another class in the afternoon and couldn’t leave the school right away. After thinking about it, she agreed.

She didn’t change out of her practice clothes, only wearing dance pants under her long skirt. With Meng Xia present, she didn’t take them off. She picked up her bag and was about to walk out of the classroom.

But very suddenly, she first took out her phone from the bag and looked at it.

The notification screen showed several messages from the contact saved as “Bai,” with the last one remaining on screen.

【Is that okay?】

Shen Jiangxu unlocked her phone and tapped into the chat, seeing that Bai Youxi had sent many fragmented messages.

【Sister, Miss Chu left】

【Actually】

【I ran away from home to South City after an argument with my family. I just unluckily lost all my luggage, my phone and everything else was stolen too, and I didn’t want to contact them, that’s why I was so down and out when I met Niannian】

【I did report it to the police, but didn’t leave contact details. I’ll go ask about the progress when things are a bit better】

【Ah, I don’t mean that I’m going to leave, just that I did report it to the police】

【Sister, I studied architecture. Although I don’t have a formal job, I have been taking commissions】

【Can I buy a computer】

【Also, I’d like to take Niannian to and from school later】

【And I want to pick you up from work too, Sister】

【Can I?】
