How Can Two Scummy Alphas Fall in Love - Chapter 19

Chapter 19

In the early morning, Han Fufu changed into a newly purchased professional suit. Before leaving, she stood in front of the full-length mirror in the entryway, looking at her reflection.

A plain suit set, simple straight black hair, and simple black-rimmed glasses.

To ensure she looked different from before, Han Fufu wore a pair of non-prescription glasses.

The most noticeable difference was Han Fufu’s face. Her hand gently traced the bridge of her nose.

A wave of bitterness washed over her…

Han Fufu bent over, clutching the fabric at her chest, slowly squatting down to steady her breathing.

Everything you owe me, you will repay, Qin Qiao.

Stepping out the door, Han Fufu rode her newly purchased electric scooter, weaving through the congested traffic like countless ordinary employees.

Before, the capital felt so vast, and Han Fufu always sat in different luxury cars, watching the changing scenery. The capital had seemed very small to Han Fufu then, small enough to be easily manipulated and toyed with in the palm of her hand, small enough for her to casually decide the fate of an ordinary person.

But now, it was different. The road Han Fufu rode to Qin Qiao’s company was the route she knew best, but it now felt unfamiliar. Because she was also an ordinary person, using two wheels to measure her commute.

With a different mindset, Han Fufu finally arrived at the place she frequented a year ago: Qin Qiao’s company.

The office building hadn’t changed, and looking in from the main entrance, the front desk setup was also the same.

Han Fufu parked her scooter, took off her helmet, and then walked in with her fabric tote bag.

“Hello, are you Miss Fu?” The receptionist immediately noticed the perfect face at the entrance—the newcomer whom the boss had specially instructed to bring directly to the office.

Fu Fu showed a slight expression of surprise. “Yes, I am.”

“Alright, please follow me upstairs. CEO Qin is waiting for you in her office.” The receptionist walked ahead to lead the way.

Han Fufu nodded.

In truth, she didn’t need anyone to lead her. She could walk to Qin Qiao’s office with her eyes closed.

But now she was Fu Fu, not Han Fufu.

The receptionist was an Omega. As she led the way, she kept glancing back at Fu Fu.

This person didn’t have any pheromones; she was a Beta. What a pity. If she were an Alpha, countless Omegas would willingly flock to her.

“What’s wrong?” Fu Fu was curious why the receptionist kept looking at her. Could she have recognized her?

The receptionist had only recently started working and had never seen Han Fufu in person. Her memory of the former CEO Han was also vague. She was merely curious about this newcomer who had caught the boss’s attention.

“Miss Fu, did you… know our CEO Qin before?”

“No, I’ve been abroad. This is the first time I’ve returned to China since I grew up,” Han Fufu replied.

The receptionist nodded and kindly warned her: “Well, you actually look very much like one of CEO Qin’s friends, so be a little careful.”

“Alright, thank you.” Han Fufu smiled slightly.

The receptionist blushed, turned her back to Fu Fu, and knocked on the door of the innermost office.

“Come in,” Qin Qiao’s voice came from inside.

The receptionist opened the door. “CEO Qin, Miss Fu has arrived.”

Han Fufu followed her into the office and respectfully said: “Hello, CEO Qin.”

Qin Qiao had heavy dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating a lack of sleep the previous night. She forced herself to look energetic and waved her hand at the receptionist. “You may return to the front desk.”

“Yes.” The receptionist closed the door as she left.

In the enclosed office, only Han Fufu and Qin Qiao remained.

After more than a year, they met again.

But unlike before, Han Fufu was no longer Han Fufu, and Qin Qiao was still the same Qin Qiao.

Qin Qiao didn’t speak. The office was eerily silent.

Han Fufu eventually spoke first. As a newly hired employee, it wouldn’t be reasonable for her to just stand there without saying anything.

“CEO Qin, hello. My name is Fu Fu. Please guide me in the future.”

“Fu Fu or Fufu?” Qin Qiao suddenly asked.

Han Fufu pretended not to understand. “Huh?”

“Nothing.” Qin Qiao stood up, leaned against her desk, and carefully scrutinized Fu Fu’s face. “Take off your glasses.”

“Yes.” Han Fufu quickly and skillfully removed her glasses.

The moment the glasses came off, Qin Qiao involuntarily gasped.

Too similar. The eyes were practically identical.

“You are not allowed to wear glasses from now on,” Qin Qiao instructed.

Han Fufu showed a look of confusion. “CEO Qin, I… I have astigmatism…”

“You are my assistant. You must do whatever I tell you to do.” Qin Qiao paused. “If you don’t want me to fire you, you’ll be obedient.”

“Yes, CEO Qin, I will listen to you.” Han Fufu feigned an earnest desire to keep the job. “I will work hard.”

Qin Qiao, seeing her without glasses, missed Han Fufu even more, so she dismissed the assistant to work in the outer cubicle.

Han Fufu wasn’t surprised. She obediently took her things and sat down outside.

The assistant’s job was simpler than Han Fufu’s previous work, but it was very fragmented. She was still unaccustomed to being on the managed end, so many tasks were difficult to start.

“You’re so clumsy. How are you an assistant? You don’t know how to use this photocopier? Didn’t you learn during your internship?” A female Beta from the secretarial team complained, taking the document from Han Fufu’s hand. “How did you get into this company?”

“I’ve never worked as an assistant before,” Han Fufu replied.

The female Beta rolled her eyes at Han Fufu. “Then how did you pass the written test and interview for your internship?”

“I just submitted my resume and was hired directly,” Han Fufu didn’t like her colleague’s tone, but she couldn’t assert herself right away. She would endure it for now.

The female Beta elbowed Han Fufu aside, stood in front of the printer without teaching Han Fufu anything, and spoke sarcastically: “Relying on a plastic surgery face that resembles CEO Han to get into the company. I don’t know what your intentions are! Don’t tell me you’re a spy sent by another company, you can’t even handle this small task.”

Han Fufu was not someone to be trifled with. Her eyes had already turned cold. Just as she was about to teach the female Beta a lesson, she sensed someone behind her.

“Which department are you from?” Qin Qiao had suddenly appeared behind them, her expression frosty.

The female Beta turned her head upon hearing the voice, her face instantly changing. She lowered her head and stammered nervously: “I’m… I’m… from the secretarial team.”

“Leave the company immediately.”

“What?” The female Beta didn’t understand.

Qin Qiao refused to repeat herself and looked directly at Han Fufu. “Leave this task to others. Come with me.”

Han Fufu followed Qin Qiao back.

The female Beta was still rooted to the spot, but shortly after, HR found her and informed her that she had been dismissed and no longer needed to come to work.

Meanwhile, Qin Qiao, who had returned to the office, walked straight into her private lounge.

Qin Qiao hadn’t slept at all the night before. She was tormented by memories. Every time she tried to fall asleep, the great fire from that year reappeared before her eyes.

Thinking about this, Qin Qiao was in a bad mood. She sat down wearily on the bed in the lounge.

She was clearly very sleepy, to the point where she could fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes. However, her mind was so entangled with pain that she couldn’t find peace.

“I need to rest for a while.” Qin Qiao went into the adjacent closet to change into her pajamas, then came out and lay down on the bed. She turned her head to look at Fu Fu, at the face that could almost pass for Han Fufu’s. “Call me Qiao Qiao.”

“CEO Qin, I dare not,” Han Fufu refused.

Qin Qiao frowned unhappily. “If I tell you to call me that, you call me that. What does ‘dare not’ mean? She wasn’t this… Anyway, whatever I tell you to do, you do. If you can’t, then get out.”

“Qiao Qiao.” Han Fufu quickly uttered the name, devoid of any emotion. Her current voice was much huskier than before, so Qin Qiao only felt a slight resemblance when she heard it, yet it was completely different from the past.

Qin Qiao heard the long-lost address, and since the voice was also very similar to Han Fufu’s, her heart instantly relaxed, and her brain began to unwind. She closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: “Say ‘Good night, Qiao Qiao’ for me to hear.”

“Qiao Qiao, good night.” Han Fufu obeyed Qin Qiao’s command.

The sentence sounded somewhat emotionless to Qin Qiao’s ears. She was slightly dissatisfied. “No, you didn’t say it right.”

“CEO Qin, then how should I…”

“Call me Qiao Qiao.”

“Qiao Qiao, how should I say it…”

Qin Qiao slightly narrowed her eyes. “Say it like you’re talking to a lover.”

“But I…”

“I can give you a lot of money. Be obedient. Treat me like your lover.” Qin Qiao’s words sounded a little like a plea to Fu Fu.

Han Fufu sneered internally.

How did it become ‘lover’? Shouldn’t it be ‘friend’? Oh, perhaps not even a friend. Who are you trying to deceive with this act?

Despite her inner thoughts, Han Fufu had to endure it and do as Qin Qiao instructed.

Han Fufu adjusted her breathing, as if completing an acting assignment. She cleared her throat, raised her tone slightly, and softened her voice. “Qiao Qiao, good night. Rest well.”

This single sentence sounded almost exactly like what the former Han Fufu would have said.

“Fufu!” Qin Qiao suddenly opened her eyes, but upon seeing the small black mole on the bridge of Fu Fu’s nose, the reality hit her like a bucket of cold water, dousing her from head to toe.

“Never mind. It’s nothing. You can go out now.” Qin Qiao turned over, not wanting this imitation to stay there any longer.

Han Fufu was very obedient. After saying, “Rest well,” she left.

She turned and gently closed the lounge door, returning to her workstation to resume learning the necessary assistant skills. This time, none of the other colleagues dared to look down on her. Several even actively came over to teach her how to do things.

Han Fufu was studying intently when she suddenly heard the office door behind her violently burst open from the inside.

Qin Qiao, wearing pajamas, walked out with a face full of hostility. Her gaze was fixed on Han Fufu. “Come in with me.”

The surrounding employees held their breath, watching the newly hired Fu Fu follow the boss into the office, their eyes fixed on the slowly closing door.

Several employees immediately huddled together once the door was closed, discussing what mistake Fu Fu had made and wondering how the boss would punish her inside.

Han Fufu, who had followed Qin Qiao into the office, stood there constrainedly.

Qin Qiao turned around and stood face-to-face with Fu Fu. After a long silence, she said: “Sleep with me.”
