Honey, Open The Door. I Want To Give You The Room Key - Chapter 36

“Miss Lou and I separated amicably. It was also because of my mother that I did such things, it’s—”

When Lou Qingshuang saw the long-dormant headlines exploding again, she realized she truly shouldn’t have overestimated Lan Dai.

Liu Yu saw it as well. She typed a few words with her fingers and handed the task to Zhu Yan.

“Miss Lou and I separated on good terms. I do not wish for anyone to spread rumors about her integrity. We simply had differences in our lives and chose to part ways amicably for our respective growth. I don’t want anyone using this to spread rumors again and hurt an innocent Omega,” Shen Yue said very solemnly in the video.

Lou Qingshuang saw Shen Yue’s video that same afternoon. It had already become a trending topic, making Shen Yue out to be the “best ex-partner in the entire network.” Lou Qingshuang found it ironic as she watched.

Given Shen Yue’s personality, she would never have come forward on her own. With a bit of thought, Lou Qingshuang knew exactly whose handiwork this was.

You did this? Lou Qingshuang asked.

My sincerity.

When Zhu Rui saw Shen Yue’s face, she was so furious she smashed the television. She gasped for breath, “I didn’t expect that girl to quietly bite herself back like that.”

Zhu Rui tugged at her collar. In order to keep Lan Dai alive, she had no choice but to make a deal. Fortunately, these matters weren’t directly handled by Lan Dai or herself.

“At least she’s acting like a human being for once,” Bai Wan said weakly. Her heat period had arrived, and she was resting at home these past few days.

“You just focus on resting; I have the company under control. I can handle it. Are you sure you don’t want to find an Alpha to ease the symptoms?” Lou Qingshuang asked with concern. Bai Wan was different from her; while Lou Qingshuang loathed temporary marks, Bai Wan didn’t mind them.

“No. Isn’t the inhibitor good enough? After a few days of rest, the heat will subside.” Bai Wan felt a bit guilty; it was hard to tell her best friend that she had casually pulled someone home last night.

“I’ll come check on you later,” Lou Qingshuang said, feeling distressed seeing Bai Wan looking so exhausted.

“No need, no need! Just keep an eye on Lan Dai. I have a feeling they have more than just these dirty tricks up their sleeves,” Bai Wan said immediately. Her house was filled with the pheromones of two people spending the night together; if Lou came over, the secret would be out.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. The rumors have already been debunked, and the lawyers and police are currently pursuing those responsible. You rest well and don’t worry,” Lou Qingshuang told Bai Wan.

“Mhm, then I’ll sleep for a bit.” Bai Wan lay on her dusty-pink large bed and said goodbye to Lou Qingshuang.

“Hey, little girl, am I someone who can’t be seen?” A pleasant female voice came from the bedroom door.

“We just took what we needed from each other. Don’t cause trouble,” Bai Wan waved her hand. After a day of ‘exercise,’ she was exhausted.

Bai Wan lay on her side against the quilt, revealing shoulders dotted with faint red marks. The visitor stood by the bed, admiring her masterpiece—red plum blossoms imprinted on white snow.

Lou Qingshuang hung up the phone. Sitting in the hospital ward, she knew she could be discharged tomorrow.

Liu Yu had actually managed to have Senior Sister Wei transferred in just one day.

Send the agreement over. After long consideration, Lou Qingshuang finally sent a message to Liu Yu.

I will bring the agreement to see you in a while.

Lou Qingshuang watched as various tags rose in popularity. Some people were even analyzing who had released the original rumors.

Lan Dai has been making frequent moves lately. Anyone in the industry can see that Lan Dai is trying to stabilize its market share. Releasing this news suddenly makes consumers feel that Wanshuang is surrounded by drama, leading them to stop choosing their brand.

Having a ‘gold master’ usually disgusts many Omegas; many people will stop buying.

Has no one really noticed that the owner of that vehicle is Liu Yu? That’s one of the business giants in our Lu City! If I could cling to such a big thigh, I definitely would! It’s just a pity that Big Boss Liu doesn’t fancy me.

True. If you were really kept by Big Boss Liu, you’d soar for the rest of your life. Maybe you could even dream of the position of Mrs. Liu.

The online comments began to shift. Instead of discussing Shen Yue, they turned into tens of thousands of people wanting to be Liu Yu’s “concubine.”

Liu Yu also saw these comments and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Many people were praising her looks and aura. When Zhu Yan arrived, she saw the Chairperson in a good mood and quickly placed the folder on the table. “Chairperson, these are the project approvals that just came up. They have already been re-examined and verified. Please take a look.”

“Good. There are no other arrangements for tonight, right?” Liu Yu lowered her head to flip through the documents.

“Nothing tonight, but there is a banquet later on,” Zhu Yan said after thinking.

“Mrs. Elisa’s?” Liu Yu asked without looking up.

“Yes, Chairperson. Miss Lou declined previously, and you didn’t go either. Mrs. Elisa was quite sad. This time she requested that you attend no matter what. Should I ask the secretarial department to find someone to accompany you?” Zhu Yan leaned forward and asked.

“As for the person going later, I have other arrangements. I’ll tell you tonight,” Liu Yu said as she flipped through a file.

“Understood, Chairperson. Then I’ll head out first.” Seeing the relaxed expression on Liu Yu’s face, a smile also appeared on Zhu Yan’s.

“Because tonight, I might finally find the person who can solve my gland collapse.” Liu Yu looked up and smiled.

“Miss Lou agreed! My contract is ready too; I’ll go print it out now.” Zhu Yan ran out quickly to print the contract, determined to ensure Liu Yu’s life was saved.

“You’ve worked hard during this time. I’ll give you a long vacation in a while so you can rest properly,” Liu Yu called out.

“Great!” Zhu Yan responded from outside the door, her voice sounding much more cheerful.

Liu Yu lowered her head to continue her work. At four in the afternoon, she took the contract to the hospital.

“This is the contract.” Liu Yu placed two organized copies of the contract by Lou Qingshuang’s hand, letting her choose.

The contract was titled “Rescue Agreement.” Lou Qingshuang would help Liu Yu get through her heat periods, soothe her pheromone glands, and help curb the gland collapse until it was fully cured. Simultaneously, Liu Yu would provide assistance in treating Lou Qingshuang’s Pseudo-Heat Syndrome until her glands were fully recovered.

There was a line in bold black text: Temporary marking and deep marking are prohibited without Lou Qingshuang’s consent.

Lou Qingshuang looked at this line, reading it over several times.

At the same time, Liu Yu proposed her own remuneration: Xinyu would continuously cooperate and support Wanshuang, and she would personally pay an annual reward of ten million until the cure was complete.

The reward for each heat period was one million, listed separately. All the above fees were after-tax.

Holding what could be called the best possible agreement, Lou Qingshuang noticed there was also a clause stating that if she were unwilling to continue later, she could terminate the contract. It was very favorable to her.

Liu Yu remained in her suit, sitting upright as she waited for Lou Qingshuang.

After finishing both copies, Lou Qingshuang picked up a pen and signed her name.

“I look forward to our cooperation, Liu Yu.” Lou Qingshuang’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked at the words “Rescue Agreement.”

“Good. Then tonight, can we have a meal together first to get familiar with our feelings?” Liu Yu asked softly, holding her copy of the contract.

“I can. I’ll be able to leave the hospital this evening,” Lou Qingshuang nodded in agreement.

“I’ll have someone handle the discharge procedures for you.”

“Alright,” Lou Qingshuang agreed.

At 5:30 PM, Lou Qingshuang was discharged. However, the doctor said she would soon enter a true heat period, at which point a temporary mark from an Alpha would be necessary.

Therefore, getting familiar with Liu Yu now was a good thing; at least it wouldn’t be so repulsive then.

“Are you hungry? The chef has prepared dinner,” Liu Yu asked.

“I’m not hungry. Let’s head back first,” Lou Qingshuang said softly.

Liu Yu nodded and took Lou Qingshuang away.

Returning to the residence she hadn’t been to in a long time; the air inside didn’t smell particularly good.

Liu Yu noticed it too. “Go rest at my place first. I’ll have someone come over and clean this up.”

“Okay.” Lou Qingshuang was still wearing her previous clothes, and her long hair had lost its luster.

When Liu Yu opened her door, the interior was decorated very romantically. A bouquet of red roses sat on the table, still carrying glistening dew—picked by Liu Yu herself.

A candlelight dinner was set on the table, illuminating the food in the exquisite plates; every portion was delicate.

Light flickered in the red wine glasses, and the decanted wine awaited tasting.

Petals were scattered on the floor in a very deliberate arrangement, not at all crude or messy.

Tonight’s meal was prepared with great care. Even the layout of the entire house had been slightly modified.

Lou Qingshuang stood at the door, looking at the decorations. Liu Yu really had put in a lot of effort.

“Please, have a seat.” Liu Yu performed a gentlemanly gesture for Lou Qingshuang, inviting her to sit.

“Thank you.” Lou Qingshuang sat in the comfortable chair, looking at the spread and the candlelight.

“You’ve been very thoughtful.” Lou Qingshuang noted the dimmed lights, which created a hazy, ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

“Do you like it?” Liu Yu asked from the opposite side.

“It’s not bad.” Lou Qingshuang looked at Liu Yu. This change in Liu Yu’s demeanor allowed Lou Qingshuang to let go of at least a little bit of her resistance.

“As long as you like it.” Liu Yu raised her glass toward Lou Qingshuang. Lou Qingshuang also raised hers, and the two clinked glasses gently, the crystal making a crisp sound as the wine swayed slightly.

Liu Yu tilted her head back and took a sip. “This red wine is a sweet, handmade vintage.”

“The taste is very rich and silky. It’s delicious.” Lou Qingshuang held the stem of the glass with her slender white fingers and took a sip.

“If you like it, there’s plenty more at home.” Liu Yu set her glass down. “You can drink it whenever you want.”

“No need, I’m not that fond of drinking.” Lou Qingshuang took another sip regardless.

“Then let’s eat.” Liu Yu lifted the cloche for Lou Qingshuang, revealing the food inside.

Lou Qingshuang picked up her cutlery and took a bite.

“Is this made by the chef from Yunmeng House?”

“It is. He is skilled in these dishes,” Liu Yu said, elegantly eating a piece of tender, top-grade steak.

“I originally wanted to take you to Yunmeng House, but with everything that happened today, it would be another storm if we were photographed. You’re also tired; you can rest after we finish eating.”

Lou Qingshuang nodded, agreeing with her logic. Moreover, she didn’t know when her heat would arrive during this period; perhaps staying home to rest and wait was for the best.

Seeing that she was in a low mood, Liu Yu spoke up, “Things will get better after a while. The public will forget.”

“Public memory is short-lived. Besides, the online reviews of us aren’t bad,” Liu Yu added.

“You read the internet too?” Lou Qingshuang said in surprise.

Liu Yu’s hand paused. “Even though I’m a bit older, I still find time to go online and understand the latest trends.”

“Sorry, it’s just that you don’t look like someone who enjoys surfing the web.” Lou Qingshuang opened her red lips and bit into a piece of beef.
