From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 55

The moment these words were spoken, everyone around held their breath except for Xiao Yanjin, whose heart was pounding rapidly.

Miss Ji invited her rumored love interest as her dance partner!

Miss Ji had never even been heard to have a close female friend, let alone caught by the media with any romantic involvement with the opposite sex. Some even spread rumors that Chu Luo had been slapped by Miss Ji!

And now, she had extended a warm invitation to Xiao Yanjin. Had Xiao Yanjin stumbled upon some incredible luck?

Fu Cheng couldn’t hide his jealousy. “Miss Ji, I think you should stay away from her. Someone like Xiao Yanjin will only bring you trouble.”

Xiao Yanjin glanced at Ji Yunuo, who shot Fu Cheng a cold look, instantly silencing him.

“Oh?” A chilly voice rang out.

“And what does that have to do with me?” Ji Yunuo spoke emotionlessly, her words devoid of warmth, as if carved from ice.

“Why would you invite her as your dance partner? What kind of event is this? How come I didn’t know about it? Unless your relationship isn’t what we thought, aren’t you afraid of being photographed and damaging your reputation?” Qin Junyin demanded.

Ade interjected, “Please lower your voice. This isn’t the place for such outbursts.”

“Whether it affects my reputation or not, what concern is that of yours?” Ji Yunuo stepped closer. Qin Junyin couldn’t meet her gaze. Both were Omegas, but Ji Yunuo stood several centimeters taller, her features far more refined.

This was no battle of equals, Qin Junyin was clearly outmatched.

“Miss Qin should worry about her own reputation first,” Ji Yunuo said with a cold smile. Based on the information Bai Lizhaoyan had provided, she had quickly uncovered the Qin family’s tax evasion scandals. Moreover, while Qin Junyin appeared to be with Jiang Quyou, she was secretly involved with another Alpha effectively two-timing.

If she thought she had Xiao Yanjin wrapped around her finger, that would make it three, perhaps even more.

“I know a few things about you. It’d be best not to say too much,” Ji Yunuo suddenly whispered in her ear.

Qin Junyin caught a whiff of her cold, elegant scent and shuddered. The overwhelming presence of this Omega left her with nowhere to hide.

No wonder so many took pride in being favored by her.

She had lost.

This poised, aloof Omega carried herself with the grace of a true noblewoman, an example Qin Junyin could never hope to emulate.

“Xiao Yanjin,” Ji Yunuo called.

Xiao Yanjin snapped to attention, grinning. “Here!”

Ji Yunuo took her arm. “Let’s go.”

Seeing the warmth in the Omega’s eyes, Xiao Yanjin’s heart soared with joy.

Her sister had indeed come to her rescue.

“You can’t take her away! You know exactly what kind of person Xiao Yanjin is why would you leave with her?” Jiang Quyou shouted from behind, his eyes burning with jealousy. He knew Ji Yunuo hadn’t come just to invite Xiao Yanjin to dance, she was here to bail her out. Damn it, Xiao Yanjin. Just being in the same group as Ji Yunuo was one thing, but for her to come to your rescue like this? You’re way too lucky.

Without turning back, Ji Yunuo replied, “I’ll invite whoever I please.”

By the Maybach, Xiao Yanjin glanced back to confirm no one was following and grinned. “Sis, thanks for coming.” Even if she could’ve handled it herself with ease, having Ji Yunuo show up was just perfect.

Ji Yunuo smiled, intending to take her back to the dormitory, but unexpectedly, Xiao Liangmu suddenly rushed over, shouting as he ran, “Xiao Yanjin, you come back here right now!”

Xiao Yanjin frowned. “Dad, what are you doing here?”

“How dare you treat my Yanjin like that? What right do you have to take her away? Do you even know how much she changed after that blind date?” Xiao Liangmu, being fiercely protective of his child, blurted this out despite needing the Ji family’s help. The Jis had made things difficult for him, leaving him powerless.

Ji Yunuo seemed to realize something about that blind date. Although she and Xiao Yanjin had gotten together privately, she had never considered whether the experience had affected Xiao Yanjin. She fell silent.

Someone as bright and proud as her must have been deeply hurt by it.

Xiao Yanjin quickly interjected, “No, no! I didn’t care about that blind date at all. I went home and slept until the afternoon!” Noticing Ji Yunuo’s sensitive contemplation, she hurried to explain.

“Enough nonsense! Come back with me now!” Xiao Liangmu grabbed for Xiao Yanjin’s hand.

Xiao Yanjin immediately stepped back. “Go back for what? Another blind date? All you care about is the Xiao family’s reputation! Even if the family rises now, it’ll collapse sooner or later with you around!”

“How dare you speak to your father like that!” Xiao Liangmu roared.

Xiao Yanjin scoffed mercilessly. “The Xiao family is doomed because of you!”

“You !” Xiao Liangmu raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yanjin across the face.

Ji Yunuo froze for a moment before immediately shielding Xiao Yanjin behind her. “Uncle Xiao, what are you doing?!”

“Stay out of this! I’m disciplining my disobedient child!”

“Disobedient? If anyone’s disobedient, it’s you!” Even though he was an elder and Xiao Yanjin’s father, Ji Yunuo couldn’t tolerate seeing Xiao Yanjin struck for the first time.

“You never bothered to learn how to run a company, never tried to rebuild yourself, all you do is gamble and drink, sacrificing your daughter’s marriage without a shred of remorse. You haven’t even attempted to learn basic business management. With someone like you at the helm, how could the Xiao family ever rise?”

Xiao Liangmu was stunned, his hand slowly lowering.

“This is a Xiao family matter. You, an outsider, have no right to interfere.”

“Xiao Yanjin’s matters are my matters.” Ji Yunuo declared firmly. “The Xiao family’s property deed is still in my hands. If you force Yanjin into another blind date just to extort money, I won’t sell the house back to you even if you beg!”

“You!” Xiao Liangmu glared at her furiously, but Ade immediately stepped forward, blocking them both. With a frustrated grunt, Xiao Liangmu could only watch helplessly. This spoiled heiress had become even more insufferable.

“Ade, take a taxi back.”

Without another word, Ji Yunuo pulled Xiao Yanjin into the car and sped off.

As she drove, Ji Yunuo’s expression was icy.

“Jiejie…” Xiao Yanjin tugged at Ji Yunuo’s sleeve, trying to reassure her. “I’m fine. A slap isn’t enough to hurt me.”

“It just breaks my heart that they treat you like a bargaining chip.” Ji Yunuo murmured softly. Xiao Yanjin could tell she was suppressing her voice, clearly distressed on her behalf.

Pulling over, Ji Yunuo turned and gently touched Xiao Yanjin’s cheek. “Does it hurt?”

The old Xiao Yanjin would have playfully exaggerated the pain, but now, she didn’t want to say it.

“It doesn’t.”

Ji Yunuo’s voice hardened. “Don’t lie to me.” Her fingers pressed down slightly harder.

A sharp pain surged through her, making Xiao Yanjin gasp as the corners of her eyes grew moist.

“Jiejie, you said it wouldn’t hurt, and then you go and do this to me,” Xiao Yanjin whined softly.

But Ji Yunuo pulled her into an embrace, the cool fragrance of her perfume mingling with the scent of roses, swirling gently in the air between them.

Xiao Yanjin let out a delicate hum, her body melting for a brief moment.

Ji Yunuo gently ruffled her hair, her eyes filled with lingering tenderness. “Little puppy, if it hurts, just say it hurts. Then I can think of every way to spoil you properly, okay?”

Xiao Yanjin’s heart trembled, and she hugged her back tightly.

“What did you just call me?” Xiao Yanjin asked cautiously.

Ji Yunuo chuckled. “Little puppy.”

Waves of emotion surged in Xiao Yanjin’s heart, she had truly become the young mistress’s puppy. Being Jiejie’s dog was pure bliss.

“Then… am I the first dog you’ve ever kept?” Xiao Yanjin grinned.

Ji Yunuo gave her a strange look. “You’re really leaning into this ‘dog’ thing, huh? How shameless.”

Xiao Yanjin whimpered playfully. “Of course I’m shameless. I want to be Jiejie’s dog, forever and always.”

The fluffy figure nuzzled against her, and Ji Yunuo almost mistook her for a golden retriever.

“Jiejie.”

“Hmm?”

Just as she lifted her head, the person in her arms suddenly pulled away, only to replace the distance with a bold, unrestrained kiss.

They kissed deeply, losing track of time, watching as each other’s lips grew redder and more swollen, yet refusing to stop.

Xiao Yanjin, however, took a different approach, finding another way to ease the tension.

Her fingers ventured inward, stirring mischief.

Ji Yunuo, caught off guard by this method for the first time, was momentarily stunned.

Xiao Yanjin smiled sweetly, still unsatisfied. “If you kiss me, it won’t hurt anymore.”

Ji Yunuo laughed softly, lifting Xiao Yanjin’s hand to trace delicate circles against her skin.

“Do you know about Qin Yunyin’s situation?” Xiao Yanjin asked.

Ji Yunuo nodded. “I’m not too familiar with certain things in this circle, but thanks to Baili Zhaoyan, I found out. Honestly, even if I hadn’t come, you would’ve handled it effortlessly, right?”

Xiao Yanjin shrugged. “One hundred percent. With my silver tongue, I’d make sure they knew the awkwardness was theirs, not mine.”

Ji Yunuo burst into laughter, her affection for this alpha growing even stronger.

But she still sensed hesitation in Xiao Yanjin’s heart.

At the company’s dance practice room.

After finishing her training, Xiao Yanjin wandered alone to the balcony, gazing at the sunset with a quiet melancholy.

Ji Yunuo approached from behind, her footsteps as light as a passing breeze.

Xiao Yanjin didn’t hear her.

But Ji Yunuo swiftly wrapped her arms around her from behind, resting her chin on Xiao Yanjin’s shoulder and murmuring, “Don’t move. Let me hold you a little longer, okay?”

Xiao Yanjin pressed her lips together, acutely aware of the rose-scented fragrance clinging to Ji Yunuo.

“Back then, when I suggested you go on blind dates, I was actually pushing myself to tell them that I wanted to be the one to date you that you could only be mine. But even now, I still can’t fully understand you… Ah Jin, can you give all of yourself to me? Please?”

Ji Yunuo’s voice, naturally cool and clear, whispered against her ear like the delicate plucking of a harp string.

Xiao Yanjin’s ears flushed red, she couldn’t handle such intimate words.

And yet… they filled her with an inexplicable sense of peace.

Her eyes gradually welled up, a single tear falling onto Ji Yunuo’s hand, still wrapped around her waist.

Ji Yunuo shifted slightly, her breath warm against her skin. “Crying?”

Xiao Yanjin pouted defensively. “No way. Just got something in my eye.”

Ji Yunuo held on tightly, her heart aching for this delicate omega in her arms.

Suddenly, the person in her embrace stirred, abruptly turning around until it was Xiao Yanjin who was now holding Ji Yunuo.

Their chests pressed together, soft yet electrifying, making their hearts race uncontrollably.

Ji Yunuo felt a flush of shyness and lowered her head, whispering, “Why are you holding me like this?”

Xiao Yanjin’s hands began to wander, sending shivers down Ji Yunuo’s spine, an unbearable itch mixed with an indescribable pleasure.

“Don’t speak,” Xiao Yanjin silenced her with a kiss, drinking her in greedily. Unable to resist, Ji Yunuo released a faint trace of rose-scented pheromones.

Xiao Yanjin nipped at her lips, chuckling lowly, “Sister Nuo, my rut is coming soon. I don’t want to use suppressants, what should I do?”

Ji Yunuo’s thoughts scattered, too flustered to think clearly. She could only murmur in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, “I… how would I know?”

Xiao Yanjin laughed uncontrollably, secretly biting her ear before blowing a teasing breath against it. “Last time, you were the one who kissed me first. I haven’t settled that score yet. When my rut hits, you’ll help me, won’t you?”

Ji Yunuo felt her body grow weak, the milky sweetness of Xiao Yanjin’s scent thickening in the air, filling her lungs and fermenting in her chest.

“…Okay.”

Xiao Yanjin’s eyes sparkled. “Thank you, Sister Nuo!”

Ji Yunuo gave a quiet hum, thinking to herself, it seemed she would have to take action. Against Wei Qin and her group, words alone wouldn’t be enough.
