My Ex’s White Moonlight Omega Has a Crush on Me - Chapter 24.1

Chao Wan’s ears were ringing, making it impossible to hear what Ji Tanyue was saying.

Yet the faint scent of tuberose in the air, tinged with desire, gently hooked her, luring and enticing, pulling her into the woman’s embrace.

A long-planned trap.

Chao Wan straddled Ji Tanyue’s lap, and in a daze, was pulled even closer, her body pressed against the unfamiliar, fragrant warmth.

The scent of pheromones that enveloped her was intoxicating, like the first ray of spring sunlight coaxing tender buds to bloom, releasing the purest essence. It was so rich and heady that Chao Wan’s cheeks flushed crimson, her breath nearly uncontrollable.

She was clearly an Omega too, so why did Ji Tanyue’s pheromones hold such a powerful allure for her?

Chao Wan thought hazily.

Suddenly, caught off guard, her eyes welled up with mist, and even the rims of her eyes took on a rosy hue.

The person before her pressed a fingertip to the most vulnerable spot for an Omega—the scent gland—and, as if deliberately, brushed over it lightly.

The gland was fragile and delicate, yet now it seemed to have let down its guard, releasing pheromones that, upon closer sniffing, carried a hint of sweetness like morning dew.

Chao Wan shook her head slightly, curling backward, the corners of her eyes tinged with pink.

“You can’t refuse,” Ji Tanyue tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her movements gentle.

“Tonight’s pheromone soothing is the first time. We’ll take it slow.”

The two streams of pheromones intertwined and surged, creating an invisible, ambiguous current that spread like an ever-expanding sea, swallowing the last traces of clarity in the bedroom.

Her vision blurred by tears, Chao Wan braced herself against Ji Tanyue’s shoulders, trying to escape her hold.

But the next moment, she found herself pressed into a palm that still held a trace of coolness.

The cold, hard touch of sandalwood beads seeped through the fabric of her clothes, the grip neither too light nor too heavy.

Ji Tanyue toyed with her flushed, adorable earlobe, her voice low and husky, concealing a hint of barely detectable displeasure.

“You signed the agreement. No backing out now.”

The person in her arms whimpered softly, gazing at her with misty eyes, already somewhat dazed.

The back of her neck had completely let down its defenses, and the faint floral scent caused her body temperature to rise steadily. The temperature difference drove the induced heat in the little Omega to desperately crave the cool touch so close at hand.

She licked her parched lips, burying her face into the crook of Ji Tanyue’s neck and shoulder, her soft lips brushing against her jaw.

A shiver ran through Ji Tanyue’s heart, and she tightened her grip on the beads around her wrist, restraining the impulse to press the person in her arms down.

Lost in a haze, Chao Wan overstepped boundaries, even reaching the source of the tuberose scent at the back of Ji Tanyue’s neck, kissing it carefully.

Alphas had a protective instinct for their scent glands, their only weakness, no less intense than that of Omegas. Being touched by an outsider inevitably triggered a defensive reaction.

Suppressing the sense of threat, Ji Tanyue pulled Chao Wan away from her embrace, cupping her flushed face with her palm to stop the Omega’s next move.

“We must take it step by step,” she reminded softly.

Reaching for the documents prepared earlier, she gently opened them, revealing the hidden clauses within.

Embraces, kisses…

There were many items, but all were gentle and gradual demands, nothing rushed or abrupt.

She was afraid of hurting Chao Wan.

Especially the thought of losing control to satisfy her own unspoken desires and doing something against Chao Wan’s will, that was something Ji Tanyue could never accept.

Chao Wan rested her cheek against the warmth of Ji Tanyue’s palm, her expression dazed and uncomprehending.

But the next moment, her wrist was grasped.

Her fingertips brushed against soft lips, like touching rose petals adorned with morning dew.

Ji Tanyue maintained her hold on Chao Wan’s hand, guiding it slowly and deliberately across her own lips.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she gently nipped at Chao Wan’s fingertip.

Chao Wan recoiled as if electrified, her expression dazed.

“Let’s do two things today, alright?” Ji Tanyue embraced Chao Wan.
“A hug, and…”

She tapped Chao Wan’s slightly parted pink lips, just as she had earlier… guiding her hand to touch herself.

“A kiss.”

From teaching to practice.

Chao Wan let out a soft murmur, her eyes misty, her entire being melting in the fragrant floral scent permeating the air.

She didn’t resist. Instead, as if returning the gesture, she gently kissed Ji Tanyue’s fingertip.

The faint, nearly invisible mole on the bridge of her nose seemed to quiver in the heated haze as she lowered her head, blurring with each subtle movement.

Unable to restrain the surging emotions in her heart any longer, Ji Tanyue narrowed her eyes, moved her finger aside, and replaced it with her own lips.

The sensation was like soft clouds, gentle yet not cloying, or like the tender stamens within flower petals, exuding a delicate, sweet nectar.

The scent in the air grew increasingly rich, a sweet blend of lychee and freesia.

It was a fragrance she had longed for, as if one bite would release a refreshing, sweet juice.

A mere taste was no longer enough.

Chao Wan clearly hadn’t expected the person before her to kiss her so suddenly. Her eyelashes fluttered nervously as she clumsily and awkwardly endured it.

Soon, due to her lack of experience, the air grew thin, and her breathing became rapid.

She wanted to pull away but lacked the strength. The arms encircling her showed no sign of loosening their grip, leaving her to be drawn deeper into the kiss.

Her cheeks flushed crimson, tears welling at the corners of her eyes and falling uncontrollably.

Wasn’t this just fulfilling the terms of their contract? Did it have to take so long?

Her entire body felt as if it were burning, the nape of her neck throbbing faintly.

As their soft lips met, the life time marked in the system began to slowly climb.

The life that had been reduced to a mere 100H by the earlier penalty mechanism gradually revived during the kiss, increasing at a rate of 10H per second.

Chao Wan felt her heart twinge slightly.

The fear of nearing death from earlier was now somewhat alleviated by this unexpected discovery.

She admitted it, she was terribly afraid of death.

Having already died once, the overwhelming sense of powerlessness was something those still alive could never understand.

That was why she cherished this chance to rewind and start over.

Steadying herself, Chao Wan tentatively wrapped her arms around the woman’s shoulders, pressing her lips lightly against hers in a cautious, clumsy attempt to show affection.

The hand at her waist stiffened for a moment before tightening even more.

The kiss deepened, becoming more lingering and intimate than before.

The life value fluctuated for a long time before finally settling at 500H.

Less than a month.

Yet Chao Wan was already content.

Ji Tanyue held the softly yielding person in her arms, her eyes slightly lowered, unable to conceal the surging satisfaction within.

She kissed Chao Wan’s earlobe, her voice low and gentle: “So well-behaved.”

Chao Wan clutched the collar of her clothes, breathing softly, her cheeks flushed as if dripping with blood.

Kissing under the pretense of prolonging her life, for a moment, she felt like a fox spirit seducing others to steal their essence.

But…

She stole a glance at Ji Tanyue, feeling inwardly annoyed.

Why did the one be “drained” seem increasingly radiant and energetic instead?

Misinterpreting her gaze, Ji Tanyue curved her lips into a slight smile, her tone meaningful: “Want more?”

The woman’s hair was similarly damp with sweat, yet clinging to her cheeks, it carried a unique charm. At this moment, she lowered her gaze to look at Chao Wan, a soft curve gracing her lips.

Though she appeared to be seeking Chao Wan’s consent, her hand had already settled at the back of Chao Wan’s head, securing the perfect angle for a kiss.

Chao Wan’s heartbeat quickened abruptly. Biting her lip, she shook her head in panic.

“N-No, I don’t want to…”

Pulling away from the earlier intimacy, her mind, once clouded by the surge in life points, began to cool down faintly.

Only then did she remember, the person before her was Ji Tanyue.

The woman who had firmly locked the door, her expression inscrutable, and forced her to sign the contract.

Chao Wan had to stay vigilant; otherwise, she might be devoured without a trace.

Ji Tanyue remained silent for a moment before withdrawing her hand.

“Alright,” she said, gently touching her lips, a faint smile playing on her face as if lost in thought. “Let’s stop here.”

Chao Wan swallowed silently and stood up from Ji Tanyue’s embrace.

But her legs felt weak, and she staggered a few steps, unable to steady herself, before kneeling on the soft rug beside the bed.

A shadow loomed over her.

It seemed her desperate attempt to escape had angered the woman. Leaning forward, Ji Tanyue looked down at Chao Wan from above.

“So eager to leave?” Her red lips parted slightly.

For a moment, the oppressive aura around Ji Tanyue quietly resurfaced.

It was exactly the same feeling Chao Wan had when she first entered the villa.

Chao Wan hung her head, shoulders trembling lightly, unsure how to respond.

Of course, she didn’t want to stay another second.

The automatically locking door, the contract she was forced to sign, and the woman’s unpredictable temperament—all of it terrified her.

But she couldn’t say any of this directly to Ji Tanyue.

She had already signed the contract, and her life points had dwindled significantly, leaving her with less than twenty days to live.

Thinking of this, Chao Wan’s nose tingled with sorrow, and she let out a choked sob.

Tears, once dried by the heat, welled up again, silently falling onto the rug and disappearing without a trace.

The room remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, Ji Tanyue stood up, brushed aside her tousled long curls, and walked past Chao Wan.

A faint sound echoed nearby, like a drawer being pulled open.

Soon, she returned.

Two inhibitor patches appeared in her vision, held between her pale fingertips.

Kneeling before Chao Wan, Ji Tanyue gently lifted her hair, revealing the still-flushed nape of her neck.

A chill seeped in, and Chao Wan flinched, lifting her head to meet Ji Tanyue’s gaze with a mix of grievance and confusion.

Ji Tanyue tore open the packaging and carefully applied the patch before explaining softly, “If you leave without an inhibitor patch, do you want me to have a sleepless night?”

Chao Wan bit her lip, unwilling to believe it.

She’s lying, that’s not what she said earlier.

“Besides, you haven’t fulfilled the last condition of the contract,” Ji Tanyue said, using her thumb to wipe away the tear at the corner of Chao Wan’s eye before placing the remaining inhibitor patch in her hand.

Turning around, Ji Tanyue swept her voluminous curls to one side, revealing the delicate nape of her neck, which exuded a faint scent of tuberose.

“Help me,” the woman said.

The pink inhibitor patch in Chao Wan’s hand suddenly felt heavy.

Her heart pounding, Chao Wan let out a soft “Mm” and obediently moved closer.

Truthfully, she had no idea what was written in the contract. She simply did as Ji Tanyue instructed.

This was the quickest way to escape the bedroom.

Carefully closing the distance between them, she tore open the packaging and stared at that vulnerable patch of skin for a moment.

The warm breath lingered in the air around them.

Just as she was about to apply the patch, her wrist was suddenly caught.

Ji Tanyue turned around, her eyes tinged with an inexplicable hint of crimson at the corners, as if she was struggling to hold back.

“Wait,” she took a deep breath, her voice slightly hoarse.

“Not this one.”

Chao Wan would never know how the soft, unintentional breath she had just exhaled had stirred a tempest in the heart of a woman whose passion had yet to subside.

She halted her movements hesitantly, and before she could react, Ji Tanyue handed her something else.

A high-potency suppressant.

Ji Tanyue rolled up her sleeve, revealing a pale forearm, and lowered her gaze. “Use this.”

Chao Wan, unusually still, asked softly, “Ms. Ji, are you in a lot of discomfort?”

Why, as an Omega, did she repeatedly resort to using suppressants that were harmful to her body?

Such suppressants could be gradually metabolized by Alphas, mitigating their side effects, but even they couldn’t abuse them, let alone the more fragile Omegas.

Unless it was a situation requiring forced sedation, no Omega would ever use something like this.

Hearing this, Ji Tanyue’s lips curved into a faint smile as she looked down at Chao Wan. “Are you concerned about me?”

Chao Wan instinctively nodded but quickly realized it was inappropriate and subtly stopped the motion.

“I was just…” she murmured in defense, but the words caught in her throat.

It was merely a routine inquiry. After all, Ji Tanyue had just been so harsh to her, she had no intention of being genuinely caring.
