Strategy to Tame My Dimwitted Older Sister A - Chapter 37

After Ruan Manxiang left, Uncle Chen came in to report. Only then did Xu Qing feel free to ask Chu Nanqiao without any reservations.

“Sweetheart, do you really have someone you like? Or were you just trying to provoke her?”

Chu Nanqiao had never kept secrets from Xu Qing. She nodded honestly, “I really, really like her. It’s just she doesn’t like me. No, actually, she doesn’t even have that kind of interest in me at all.”

Xu Qing was taken aback. She had always been confident in her precious daughter’s looks, and as an omega, if the other person was an alpha, it was impossible for them to remain indifferent to her baby. She asked, “Sweetheart, is it possible that, she already has someone?”

Chu Nanqiao shook her head. “I’ve observed her. She doesn’t have a partner, not even someone she likes yet.”

This made Xu Qing even more puzzled.

An alpha without a partner or someone they liked, yet showed no interest in such a beautiful omega could it be that she was a disabled alpha?!

Not wanting to discourage Chu Nanqiao, Xu Qing cautiously probed, “Sweetheart, does she have any physical limitations?”

Chu Nanqiao had wondered the same thing, but Bai Xia clearly wasn’t like that. “She’s not! I even asked her directly, and she just laughed at me.”

If it wasn’t a physical issue, then what could it be?

Xu Qing, after all, had been a seasoned player in the romance department back in her day. She had encountered all kinds of alphas. Generally, those who acted indifferent but deliberately tried to get your attention were most likely playing hard to get.

However, Xu Qing wasn’t sure if the alpha her daughter fancied fell into this category. She asked, “Then, does she try to make her presence known around you?”

What presence? If Chu Nanqiao hadn’t sought her out, Bai Xia might not even have remembered who she was!

The thought of this made Chu Nanqiao both angry and dejected. “No, not at all. After the military training, she didn’t even remember me.”

Xu Qing gently patted her back and asked, “Then, sweetheart, have you told her directly that you like her?”

Chu Nanqiao had considered confessing outright, but upon further thought, Bai Xia was so dense that if she confessed, Bai Xia might just think she was joking. And if Bai Xia laughed at her again, she’d want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

She couldn’t bear that kind of humiliation.

Seeing her silence, Xu Qing roughly guessed what Chu Nanqiao was thinking and comforted her, “Sweetheart, if you really like her, I mean, the kind of deep, overwhelming love where you can’t imagine being with anyone else then don’t hesitate. Opportunities slip away in an instant. If you don’t seize it, she might end up belonging to someone else.”

“That can’t happen!”

Chu Nanqiao had initially thought that Bai Xia was just an ordinary alpha, albeit slightly more attractive than most. As the young miss of the prestigious Chu family, she could have any alpha she wanted. With just a word from her, countless alpha “simp dogs” would come crawling. But later, Chu Nanqiao gradually realized she couldn’t stand seeing Bai Xia laughing and chatting with other omegas, nor could she bear Bai Xia ignoring her. It made her inexplicably upset.

She didn’t want Bai Xia to be with anyone else.

She wanted to become Bai Xia’s omega.

She wanted Bai Xia to belong only to her.

“But Mommy, even if I like her, it’s useless. She’s not interested in me at all. I’ve made it so obvious, but she still doesn’t feel anything.”

Xu Qing pinched her chin in thought and said, “That’s easy to fix. Tomorrow’s the banquet, sweetheart. Invite her over so Mommy can take a look. I can help you.”

“R-really?!” Chu Nanqiao’s excitement instantly deflated as she lowered her head and mumbled, “A senior said, she’d help me get her to come. I don’t know, if it’ll work.”

Xu Qing suddenly developed a keen interest in this alpha who might become her future daughter-in-law. It was the first time someone had so blatantly ignored her precious darling. No matter what, she had to meet this alpha.

“Then just invite her directly, sweetheart. Tell her Mommy hasn’t thanked her yet for her act of bravery last time, and now there’s finally a chance. That way, she won’t be able to refuse.”

“But, what if she still won’t come? What then?!”

Xu Qing was stumped by the question.

If the other person refused, she couldn’t very well go to the school and kidnap her, could she?

Meanwhile,

“Achoo…”

Bai Xia rubbed her itchy nose. Out of nowhere, she’d suddenly sneezed.

Was she coming down with a cold?!

She quickly gulped down a few mouthfuls of the iced drink she’d just bought. In the sweltering summer heat, sitting in an air-conditioned room was pure bliss.

She turned to Xu Mo and asked, “Hey, Xu Mo, what were you whispering about with that junior at noon?”

After returning, Bai Xia had stewed over it and couldn’t resist asking.

Xu Mo, sitting beside her, was munching on fries while watching a show. She hit pause when Bai Xia spoke, but just as she was about to look up, a message popped up on her screen from Chu Nanqiao.

Xu Mo raised a hand to signal Bai Xia to wait.

[Senior, how’s the favor I asked you about? Did Xiaxia agree?]

Xiaxia?

They were already on such intimate terms?!

Xu Mo was thrilled at uncovering such a juicy secret.

While everyone in the dorm used nicknames for each other both as a sign of friendship and for convenience not just anyone could call Bai Xia that. Outside the dorm, unless it was a teacher or advisor, anyone who dared to address her so casually would get roasted into oblivion.

If Chu Nanqiao was calling Bai Xia “Xiaxia,” it had to be with Bai Xia’s permission. That meant Xu Mo hadn’t misread the situation, the two were definitely together!

Xu Mo was immensely proud of her romance radar, but to keep Chu Nanqiao’s secret, she had to pretend she knew nothing.

“Don’t worry, Nanqiao. When I make a promise, my word is as good as gold. I’ll definitely get it done for you!”

“But as I mentioned before, if I help you bring that person along, you’ll have to do something for me in return. Remember?”

Chu Nanqiao typed rapidly in response.

“I remember! What is it, senior?”

Xu Mo needed to ensure that after she brought Bai Xia to the banquet, they wouldn’t run into Li Ai. If they did, who knew what that fierce omega might do in such a large event? This had to be foolproof, there was no room for error!
