Forced to Romance the Omega Psychiatrist - Chapter 35

“Ah, I…” Xia You seemed still dazed, staring blankly at Bai Shuixi  for a moment before sitting up and pulling the blanket to her chest.

Her gaze remained fixed on Bai Shuixi , but after a while, she couldn’t help but avert her eyes in flustered embarrassment.

Bai Shuixi could tell Xia You was shy, but the mischievous side of her personality was stirring. The more Xia You tried to deny it, the more Bai Shuixi  wanted to remind her.

“Your earring fell off.”

Bai Shuixi  walked over and casually placed the jade earring in Xia You’s palm, then naturally sat down on the edge of the bed.

Xia You froze for a moment, looking at the jewelry in her hand and then at the marks on Bai Shuixi ‘s neck, her ears instantly flushing red.

Bai Shuixi  lowered her eyes, watching Xia You’s extremely awkward expression, feeling a subtle sense of satisfaction:

“The housekeeping service will be here soon. Would you like me to cook something or should we order in?”

“House,  housekeeping?” Xia You stammered, glancing at Bai Shuixi  before peeking under the bed. “Then it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to stay here. I should go back to my own room.”

“Looking for your clothes?” Bai Shuixi watched Xia You’s movements without moving, a teasing smile on her lips. “Really, your memory isn’t great, is it? Weren’t they torn off long ago?”

“…”

Facing away from Bai Shuixi , Xia You stiffened slightly, gently biting her lip.

She had also noticed the scattered remnants of clothing on the floor.

Just as she froze, Bai Shuixi ‘s presence suddenly pressed close from behind—near, but not doing anything, just whispering in a coquettish tone: “Didn’t we move in together precisely to create misunderstandings? What does it matter if someone sees?”

Xia You’s grip on the blanket tightened slightly.

Seeing Xia You remain silent, Bai Shuixi  wasn’t surprised. She chuckled softly, pulling back slightly before speaking seriously: “I’ll get you some pajamas. Feel free to use the bathroom. Take your time getting ready, no rush.”

“…” Xia You lowered her head, turning her gaze away with a soft “Mm.”

Bai Shuixi  stood up, her eyes briefly skimming over Xia You’s fair shoulders before she turned to fetch the pajamas.

The small bag Xia You had brought with her was still in the walk-in closet. Bai Shuixi  opened it and easily found a set of pajamas, along with some other cute little items—like rabbit-shaped travel bottles and a cat-paw-shaped earphone case.

Bai Shuixi  paused, smiling silently to herself, but she didn’t touch any of the items. Instead, she carried the entire bag to the master bathroom door and lightly knocked. “Your pajamas are by the door.”

“Mm… got it.” Xia You’s voice came from the other side of the door.

Bai Shuixi  smiled and walked away.

She had initially thought about cooking, but the kitchen was barely used—there were hardly any seasonings, and the fridge only contained fruit sodas and snacks.

They had gone to bed very late the night before, after a long ordeal at the banquet, without even having a bite of supper. They were probably starving by now.

After a moment’s thought, Bai Shuixi  ordered delivery from a Cantonese private kitchen and postponed the housekeeping service.

A while later, Xia You finally emerged.

As soon as she stepped out of the master bedroom, her gaze instinctively drifted toward the walk-in closet.

Bai Shuixi could probably guess what she was looking at. She glanced over indifferently, then gently cupped Xia You’s chin to redirect her gaze. “Don’t look anymore. Come eat first.”

Xia You gave Bai Shuixi a surprised look, tilting her head to free her chin from Bai Shuixi’s grasp. Hesitantly, she said, “Why are you getting more and more…”

“More and more what?”

Bai Shuixi tilted her head slightly, looking down at Xia You as she waited for her to continue.

More and more audacious.

Xia You silently averted her eyes, keeping the thought to herself.

After all, they had already crossed that line, and she might not exactly dislike Bai Shuixi’s boldness.

“Never mind, it’s just.” Xia You hesitated before changing the subject. “What about that gown? It’s already ruined.”

Back then, Xia You hadn’t asked about the details of the dress. The designer had taken her measurements, and two days later, they brought the finished piece for her to try on.

She had assumed the dress had nothing to do with her—she was just wearing it for the banquet, after which she could hand it back to Bai Shuixi for disposal. So she never asked whether it was rented or something else.

“Oh, it’s fine if it’s ruined.” Bai Shuixi didn’t seem to care at all, nor did she understand why Xia You was bringing it up. “What, did you like it that much? I can have another one made.”

“No,” Xia You immediately shook her head. “What would I do with a gown? I mean, didn’t you say someone was supposed to come collect it for handling? What do we do now?”

Bai Shuixi frowned slightly, pondering Xia You’s words before suddenly realizing what she was worried about. A faint smile tugged at her lips, and after a pause, she deliberately feigned concern.

“Hmm… now that you mention it, I think I remember something. When the dress was delivered, someone might have mentioned it was priced at 980,000. Yeah!”

“Nine…” Xia You froze. “Nine hundred and eighty thousand?!”

What now? Xia You instinctively bit her knuckle. She had guessed it would be expensive, but not this absurd.

Do rich people really spend this much on clothes they’ll wear once?

With that kind of money, she could’ve made another down payment on an apartment in G City.

Seeing Xia You genuinely distressed, Bai Shuixi couldn’t help but laugh.

Xia You: “?”

Still chuckling, Bai Shuixi reached out to cradle Xia You’s face, making her meet her gaze.

“What are you worrying about, jiejie?” Bai Shuixi brushed her thumb along Xia You’s cheek. “I might not have a lot of things, but money isn’t one of them. The dress was paid for from my account the moment it was ordered.”

Xia You was stunned.

She hadn’t expected Bai Shuixi to outright purchase a gown—one she’d likely never wear again—for a single banquet, and without even batting an eye.

Xia You had always known Bai Shuixi was wealthy, but experiencing it firsthand still managed to reshape her understanding.

“Besides, I was the one who tore it. It’s only right that I pay for it,” Bai Shuixi added with a smirk.

Xia You: “…”

Xia You had nothing left to say. Flushing, she walked past Bai Shuixi into the living room.

Bai Shuixi smiled and smoothly changed the subject. “There’s not much food at home. The delivery will be here in fifteen minutes. Want something to drink? Warm milk?”

“Hmm! alright.” Xia You shifted her gaze, not quite daring to look directly at Bai Shuixi.

Bai Shuixi chuckled softly but didn’t press further.

Perhaps the awkwardness from last night hadn’t fully dissipated—Xia You seemed to be in an evasive mood, avoiding direct eye contact. Her gaze kept drifting down to Bai Shuixi’s chest, as if she had something to say but couldn’t bring herself to.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Shuixi curved her lips knowingly.

“…” Xia You hesitated. “You maybe you should change your clothes?”

“Why?” Bai Shuixi deliberately glanced at her skirt and sleeves. “I think it looks quite nice.”

Xia You froze, pursed her lips, and turned her head away, the tips of her ears turning slightly red.

She suspected Bai Shuixi was doing this on purpose, but she instinctively didn’t want to think that way about her. Just as she was about to say something, Bai Shuixi’s phone rang.

It was a food delivery, but the security at the gate had stopped it. The residential complex had strict management, so Bai Shuixi got up and walked to the door to grant access. Instead of returning to the living room, she leaned against the entryway to wait.

The delivery arrived quickly. The doorbell rang before Xia You could react, and Bai Shuixi opened the door.

Xia You: “Wait—”

The delivery person, holding an exquisitely crafted wooden food box, instinctively put on a professional smile upon seeing Bai Shuixi—but then froze when they took in her appearance.

A tall, slender female alpha stood at the door, one hand resting on the frame, her arms slender yet strong. Her features were strikingly beautiful, though her expression was cool and distant. A blazer draped over a matching slip dress gave her a sharp, commanding presence. The only issue was.

The delivery person’s gaze lingered on Bai Shuixi’s neck before shifting to Xia You, who had hurried over at the sound. Their expression cleared with sudden understanding, and they handed over the food box with perfect composure. “Enjoy your meal.”

Bai Shuixi curved her lips. “Thank you.”

Xia You: “…”

Xia You fell silent. She didn’t even want to look anymore.

Bai Shuixi carried the food box back to the living room and asked knowingly, “What’s wrong? Don’t feel like Cantonese? We could switch to something else.”

“No, it’s fine. This is good.” Xia You shook her head quickly. She didn’t care what they ate—she just didn’t want another person seeing the marks on Bai Shuixi. It was just too…

Every time she saw them, she couldn’t help but recall last night’s loss of control, and her face warmed slightly.

Bai Shuixi smiled but didn’t comment. The two ate a somewhat quiet lunch together.

After the meal, Bai Shuixi stopped Xia You from cleaning up, taking the cup from her hand. “The housekeeper will handle this later. Let’s leave it. More importantly, why don’t we talk about tomorrow?”

“What about it?” Xia You blinked.

“Work starts tomorrow,” Bai Shuixi said, her gaze lingering on Xia You’s lips. “Didn’t we agree to make Bai Ye give up? That means hinting at our relationship at the office too.”

Xia You paused, lowering her eyes in silence for a moment before shaking her head faintly. “No.”

If they were in a normal relationship, of course she’d want to go public with Bai Shuixi. But Bai Shuixi,  might not actually like her that much. One day, she might suddenly decide Xia You wasn’t worth pursuing and just walk away.

She didn’t want to give Bai Shuixi any chance to find her dull.

She wanted Bai Shuixi to love her.

“Understood.” But Bai Shuixi interpreted it differently.

Bai Shuixi nodded, lifted Xia You’s chin, and kissed her lips. She had intended to keep it calm and brief, but she couldn’t resist a hint of frustration, biting down lightly before gritting her teeth and saying:

“So you really do see me as a lover—the kind that has to be kept hidden, huh?”

Xia You, startled by the bite, seemed momentarily dazed. She touched her lips lightly, then looked up at Bai Shuixi in confusion, her expression almost unbearably innocent and lost.

“…”

Bai Shuixi had genuinely been angry just moments ago, but seeing Xia You’s expression. She swallowed hard, forcing down the urge to tease her further. Taking a deep breath, she turned and walked into the study.

Fine. It was just sleeping with the female lead—no big deal.

Aside from tormenting Xia You emotionally and physically, she still had plenty of other things to deal with.

Bai Ye, Li Wei, and Zhou Wanwan still needed to be handled, while Xu Chuan and Fang Shangzhe remained potential threats. Even the movie plot from the original story hadn’t begun yet.

Speaking of the movie, she also had a slew of investors to manage.

In the original novel, launching a project could be brushed off in a single line, but in reality, the process was far more tedious and troublesome, requiring endless work.

Suppressing her chaotic thoughts, Bai Shuixi sat in the study and began reviewing documents—first signing a few applications, then untangling the intricate web of relationships within the Bai family.

In the original story, Bai Ye’s smooth return to the Bai family was likely tied to these connections. It was better to understand them now, just in case.

The scheduled housekeeper arrived quickly. This wasn’t her first time at Bai Shuixi’s home, so she efficiently tidied up the designated areas, restoring the apartment to its usual spotless state.

This time, Bai Shuixi didn’t provoke Xia You again—until just before bedtime, when she smirked and asked:

“Coming to my room tonight?”

Xia You, fresh from a shower with a faint flush still warming her cheeks, froze at the question. After a pause, she averted her gaze shyly and murmured, “N-no, I don’t think so.”

Bai Shuixi, who had been stewing all day, tilted her head slightly, studying Xia You’s expression before suddenly laughing.

“What’s so funny?” Xia You asked, puzzled.

“Nothing. I just suddenly remembered.” Bai Shuixi stepped closer, her cool fingers cradling Xia You’s face as her eyes curved into crescents. “Sister, do you maybe love me a little sometimes too?”

Xia You’s breath hitched, her lips parting slightly in flustered hesitation, as if unsure how to respond.

Bai Shuixi grinned.

This was more like it.

Making the female lead flustered with displays of affection—that was what a proper villain should do.

How could she have gotten angry just because Xia You avoided defining their relationship?

The upper hand should always be hers.

Leaning in, Bai Shuixi pressed a light kiss to Xia You’s lips and said cheerfully, “Just teasing. Goodnight.”
