Honey, Open The Door. I Want To Give You The Room Key - Chapter 37.2

She wondered if she would ever have a chance, or how she could develop such an aura. Shang Yun’s small eyes were filled with adoration.

Liu Yu entered the styling area. Upon walking in, she saw the cold and dignified Lou Qingshuang, her hands elegantly folded in front of her. The white, ethereal gown she wore made Lou Qingshuang look like the hazy moonlight beneath the sky—delicate and pale—making Liu Yu’s breathing turn light.

Lou Qingshuang stood there like a “white moonlight” figure, wearing a cool, shallow smile. It felt as though reaching out might startle her into flight.

Liu Yu walked toward her and reached out to hold her. There were feather decorations on the front of her dress, making her look even lighter and more dreamlike.

Lou Qingshuang also wore an “icy” jadeite bracelet to match the evening gown. Her long, black hair was in soft waves, looking smooth and lustrous. With the overall styling, Lou Qingshuang appeared gentle yet cold—truly like a round of hazy moonlight fallen from the sky. The outfit Liu Yu picked had brought out all of Lou Qingshuang’s strengths.

“Do you like it?” A gentle, shallow smile rose on Lou Qingshuang’s face, carrying a hint of coldness.

After three days of getting along, Lou Qingshuang was able to deal with Liu Yu more comfortably.

“I like it.” Liu Yu held Lou Qingshuang’s hand. “I’ll accompany you down now.”

Liu Yu raised her left arm slightly, and Lou Qingshuang naturally placed her hand on Liu Yu’s bent arm.

Liu Yu led Lou Qingshuang into a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Its high-gloss black finish and solemn, elegant lines were a perfect match for Liu Yu’s temperament.

Lou Qingshuang sat in the back seat and looked up to see the starlight headliner, which eased much of the trepidation in her heart.

Once Liu Yu sat in the car, Lou Qingshuang immediately tucked her hand into Liu Yu’s palm. The dry, burning heat of the palm allowed Lou Qingshuang’s tense heart to relax. Her gland had been unstable recently; she didn’t know which day she would need Liu Yu, and today her gland felt a faint, smoldering heat.

“So many people came here for styling today; many of them are big shots,” Lou Qingshuang turned and said to Liu Yu.

“The biggest one is sitting right next to you.” Liu Yu patted Lou Qingshuang’s hand.

“Stop it, that’s a bit ‘greasy’ (cringe).” Lou Qingshuang laughed, her anxiety dispelled by Liu Yu’s teasing.

Watching her laugh, Liu Yu laughed along. The car was flanked by bodyguards in front and behind as it carved into the night.

As the car drove over a bridge, Lou Qingshuang looked at the spot where she had been forced to stop on the bridge due to heavy rain before. That time, Liu Yu had braved the rain to accompany her, and this time, Liu Yu was already holding her hand.

This is all fate.

Lou Qingshuang suddenly remembered that the “severing bad karma” talisman she intended to use was still at home. In the end, she hadn’t been able to sever her bad karma with Liu Yu; instead, they were even more entangled.

Lou Qingshuang held Liu Yu’s hand and squeezed it hard. Liu Yu turned to look at her; behind the rimless glasses, Liu Yu’s face was rational and indifferent, exuding an air of nobility. It had to be said that Liu Yu perfectly fulfilled the fantasies of most Omegas.

The driver stopped the car at the side of the banquet hall to make it convenient for Liu Yu and Lou Qingshuang to go to the lounge to touch up their makeup and rest. There were still ten minutes until the banquet began.

As a specially invited guest, Liu Yu did not need to appear right at the start.

“This is a European manor in a classical style. The owner of the manor is named Barbie Elisa, and she is the organizer of today’s banquet,” Liu Yu said simply.

“Oh, dear Liu, welcome. I was quite disappointed that you missed the last one, but I have already prepared a lounge for the two of you now.” Madam Elisa, dressed in a bright red gown, proactively walked over.

“Good. This is my partner, Lou Qingshuang.” Liu Yu had a smile on her face, her arm linked with Lou Qingshuang’s hand as she spoke.

Madam Elisa’s eyes flickered, and she quickly judged whether Liu Yu was just playing around or being serious. She etched Lou Qingshuang’s name into her memory.

“Welcome, Miss Lou, to my banquet. You are truly beautiful.” Madam Elisa looked her up and down. Even for someone like her who had seen many beauties, Lou Qingshuang was stunning.

Her beauty lay in her temperament and eyes, as well as her face, which was unforgettable once seen.

“Miss Lou, promise me you’ll come to my next banquet as well, alright? You are too beautiful, like a fairy descended to earth,” Madam Elisa said, clutching her chest.

Her gestures and praise made Lou Qingshuang laugh. “That would be my honor, Madam.” Lou Qingshuang nodded politely.

“I’m taking her to rest. We’ll come down when the banquet starts,” Liu Yu said to Madam Elisa.

The secretaries and bodyguards following Liu Yu also went up with them.

Their group attracted a lot of attention, and Lou Qingshuang gripped Liu Yu’s hand somewhat nervously.

Liu Yu squeezed back, signaling her to be at ease.

In the crowd, several people were secretly watching Liu Yu. Two of them had looks of disgust and dread in their eyes.

They stood at the edge of the crowd; they were the branch members of the Liu family.

“Restrain yourselves,” a female Alpha in a white off-the-shoulder gown hissed.

“Apologies, Third Sister,” a female Omega said, pulling back her resentful gaze.

Liu Yan frowned in warning. “I only brought you here because you’re studying jewelry design. Do not cause trouble. If you provoke Liu Yu, you won’t have a good ending.”

“I know, Sister. I won’t.” The female Omega, also in a gown, lowered her head. She looked at her gown, which was barely entry-level. All of this was because of Liu Yu.

“Sigh, your family’s situation was caused by your father’s own transgressions. Liu Yu still allows you to study, hasn’t stripped you of your identity as a member of the Liu family, and lets you receive the protection of the Liu Corporation. You should be content. Panpan, stop thinking so much. If you study hard now, you’ll surely have your own career. Stop looking back at the past glory; that originally belonged to Liu Yu’s family anyway.” Liu Yan advised earnestly.

Liu Panpan looked up, the rims of her eyes red. “Sister Yan, I know it’s like that… I… I will.”

Liu Yan sighed and patted her shoulder, hoping she could see reason.

Everyone was admiring the jewelry. Many had arrived early just to see the latest designs and evaluate their collection value. Being invited was itself a sign of status.

The main hall of the manor was huge, with light and shadow intersecting. The hall was decorated luxuriously and elegantly, and there were many celebrities showcasing jewelry.

Liu Yu and Lou Qingshuang sat in the lounge, looking at the jewelry designs for this exhibition. The extremely brilliant “Star of the Sky” was encrusted with diamonds one by one, with the largest diamond valued at 150 million. The value of the entire set exceeded 300 million.

“This set of jewelry is actually not bad; it has collection value. However, this is Madam Elisa’s family heirloom; it’s for exhibition only, not for sale,” Liu Yu glanced at it. The design itself was no longer the focus; the value was.

Lou Qingshuang looked at the rows of zeros in the descriptions, feeling a bit dizzy.

Any piece of jewelry here represented the lifetime limit for many people.

Liu Yu smelled a scent of roses and her eyes became somewhat intoxicated. This scent made her heart feel very, very relaxed. She couldn’t help but lean closer to Lou Qingshuang. “The banquet is about to start. Do you want to get up and touch up your makeup?”

Her eyes also landed on Lou Qingshuang’s pheromone gland. A skin-colored suppression patch was stuck there, but the rose fragrance had already broken through it.

Lou Qingshuang quickly snapped out of the shock of the jewelry’s price tags. She reached out her index finger and pushed away Liu Yu’s approaching face.

“What’s wrong with you?” Lou Qingshuang picked up her skirt, stood up, and looked at her with a frown.

“Your pheromones are leaking out.” Liu Yu’s eyes were dazed. She couldn’t help but respond to Lou Qingshuang’s pheromones, which expressed the owner’s unhappiness and a desire to linger uncontrollably around her.

Lou Qingshuang’s expression changed. She reached out to touch her gland—it was faintly burning. She immediately took out a pheromone suppression pill and swallowed it; she couldn’t afford to make a fool of herself here.

“I’ll go tidy up.” After saying that, Lou Qingshuang hurried to the small room next door to fix herself.

Liu Yu sat on the sofa watching Lou Qingshuang’s back. She picked up the pheromone clearing agent prepared in the room and sprayed it. The restless scent in the air vanished.

Lou Qingshuang finished her touch-up and came out. Her makeup was meticulous and beautiful, every part painted perfectly.

“Your lipstick is also a bit smudged, touch it up,” Lou Qingshuang said, looking at Liu Yu.

“I didn’t bring lipstick.”

“Use mine.”

The two stood close together. Liu Yu lowered her eyes to look at Lou Qingshuang, who was seriously applying lipstick for her.

“There, look. Perfect.” Lou Qingshuang withdrew her hand, seeing that Liu Yu’s lips were perfect.

Liu Yu lowered her head, leaning close to Lou Qingshuang’s lips. “Is it very perfect?”

“It is very perfect,” Lou Qingshuang praised, and Liu Yu was satisfied.

“The banquet is starting soon, let’s go.” Lou Qingshuang stepped past Liu Yu after speaking.

“Alright.” Liu Yu took a step back and held her hand as they left the lounge.

As soon as they opened the door, two bodyguards and two secretaries arrived. “Director Liu, it’s about time. Madam Elisa just came to invite you,” the secretary said, stepping forward.

“Let’s go. I owe Madam Elisa a favor; attending the banquet today is to repay it,” Liu Yu said.

As soon as Liu Yu entered the hall, people came up to greet her. “Director Liu, long time no see.”

“Long time no see.” Liu Yu nodded in greeting.

The focus of the people who were originally looking at jewelry shifted to Liu Yu.

A great many people also noticed the beautiful female Omega by Liu Yu’s side.

“Doesn’t Liu Yu never have a female partner?” the daughter of the shipping tycoon chatted with those around her.

“The old iron tree must be blooming,” a woman in a pale-yellow gown remarked sarcastically. Everyone knew Liu Yu looked down on everyone. There were even rumors she liked Alphas, but when an Alpha actually tried to get close, they were nearly beaten to death by Liu Yu’s bodyguards.

“I wonder if this is a real relationship or a fake one. There’s no shortage of people who want to marry into the Liu family,” Gu Zhao, the daughter of the shipping tycoon, squinted her eyes as she sized up Lou Qingshuang.

Gu Zhao was also very beautiful, but she was far too overbearing.
