The Aloof Arch-rival Insists On Carrying The Child Of A Useless Alpha - Chapter 4

Suddenly appearing to attack Jiu Yi was none other than Leng Xuelang, who was supposed to be in the guest bedroom reviewing financial reports to suppress her special period.

But the more she looked at them, the more aggrieved and angry she felt. Why on earth should she be the one doing work for Jiu Yi after Jiu Yi brought her back, while Jiu Yi got to rest?

She was clearly! clearly! driven into this state by the Si family. Even if Si Jiu Yi wasn’t the one who drugged her, and even if she wasn’t like Si Yining, Leng Xuelang was in a terrible mood right now. She wanted to be unreasonable, she wanted to strangle her!

As for infiltrating the guest bedroom where Jiu Yi was staying without anyone noticing, it was far too simple for her. In fact, she had thousands of ways to do it.

Ultimately, she chose the method that would get her closest the fastest.

Appearing directly from inside the water-filled bathtub. At the very least, she had to bite her and make her hurt.

As for whether she would be poisoned? That would depend on Jiu Yi’s luck. Leng Xuelang wasn’t going to take responsibility for that.

She hadn’t expected this human to actually fall asleep in the bathtub completely off-guard, wearing only an extremely thin nightgown. Her tall, exquisite, and curvaceous figure was faintly discernible, causing Leng Xuelang’s breath to catch. Her movements slowed by half a beat, and just like that, she was held death tight in Jiu Yi’s embrace, her attack completely neutralized.

Moreover, looking at it this way, it seemed as though she had thrown herself into Jiu Yi’s arms voluntarily. It was truly infuriating.

“What’s wrong? Is the antidote not enough, or is the efficacy so good that you couldn’t wait to tell me?” Jiu Yi held her entirely captive in her arms, never once opening her eyes, which made Leng Xuelang feel an even greater sense of humiliation.

Leng Xuelang opened her mouth, intending to bite her. Even if she couldn’t reach her neck, she wanted to tear off a piece of her flesh.

Jiu Yi merely pinched the back of her neck to force her a bit further away, finally opening her eyes to look at her. “How did you…”

“You were faking sleep,” Leng Xuelang accused first, opening her mouth to bite her again.

However, Jiu Yi kept a firm grip on the back of her neck. Her fingertips casually brushed against the gland there from time to time, causing waves of tremors that made Leng Xuelang’s face flush so deeply it looked as though it might bleed.

“I was never truly asleep in the first place.” Jiu Yi naturally noticed that her state was abnormal. Her pheromones were even thicker than before. It seemed the antidote she prepared wasn’t enough, she really ought to prepare more, such as other equity documents or administrative files, to better help her dispel the drug in her system.

If Leng Xuelang knew what thoughts were running through Jiu Yi’s mind right now, she would definitely bite her to death on the spot without a second thought.

Right now, Leng Xuelang’s phantom snake tail was beginning to stir restlessly. Furthermore, she couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she noticed that every time she approached Jiu Yi, her body would become exceptionally excited. Not only that, but she also sensed the presence of the object she was looking for. It should be near Jiu Yi, or perhaps even on her person.

But as for its exact location, she still needed to keep searching.

Since Jiu Yi was dressed so thinly right now that almost everything was exposed to view, Leng Xuelang naturally couldn’t pass up this opportunity.

She had to seize it firmly.

Because of this, she temporarily abandoned her plan to bite Jiu Yi, changing her tactic instead.

She placed her hand on the collar of the thin nightgown, her slender fingers preparing to pull it open inch by inch to take in the view beneath.

To make Jiu Yi compliant, she even deployed a minor illusion, swiftly hypnotizing her before continuing her hand’s descent to pull open the collar.

Leng Xuelang hadn’t actually lived in this world for very long, nor had she seen many human bodies. But no matter how inexperienced she was, she could judge through scent and basic aesthetics that this detestable and wicked human possessed a body that ranked among the absolute best of humanity, causing her to daze out inexplicably.

By the time Leng Xuelang snapped out of it, she felt so hot all over that she needed to do something to vent the heat, her breathing growing a few fractions quicker.

Then, she realized she was staring unblinkingly at Jiu Yi’s extraordinarily rosy lips, finding them looking utterly delicious.

Leng Xuelang wondered if there was something strange about this human. Clearly, Jiu Yi had been hypnotized and had temporarily lost her self-awareness, yet Leng Xuelang was still being bewitched by her. She felt that she herself was truly acting out of character.

Leng Xuelang bit her lip to force herself awake, averting her gaze from those lips and letting it fall back onto Jiu Yi’s body to resume searching for the thing she wanted.

However, Leng Xuelang soon felt that the idea of searching personally was incredibly foolish. Just like now, why did she think that simply staring at her body instead of her lips would help her calm down?

It only made her look even more alluring…

Utterly detestable. This human was exuding charm every single second.

Leng Xuelang was furious. Unable to hold back, she reached out and pinched Jiu Yi’s cheek hard, only feeling slightly mollified after leaving a visible mark on her face. She also knew she couldn’t afford to delay any longer, she had to hurry up and search.

But after forcing herself to search single-mindedly all over Jiu Yi’s body, she surprisingly came up entirely empty-handed. She refused to give up, firmly believing that Jiu Yi must have hidden it away to keep her from finding it.

【Host! Wake up quickly! Host! Hurry! Otherwise, you’re going to be eaten clean up completely, ahhh! Why is this so scandalous?!】

【Host! Host! Hurry up!】

After searching around the guest bedroom a few times and failing to find Leng Xuelang, the System finally rushed back, only to witness such a voluptuous scene. The two were still in the bathtub, their bodies intimately tangled together.

Jiu Yi sat there with her clothes in disarray… her eyes vacant, seemingly hypnotized, while Leng Xuelang was acting entirely without restraint…

Oh goodness, how scandalous! How could the male lead’s white moonlight stand-in be so… so bold?!

The System didn’t dare look too much. This was mainly because the body it had chosen for Jiu Yi, while seemingly frail on the outside, had everything where it should be, along with a thin layer of muscle. It wasn’t very noticeable normally, but once the clothes came off, the perfection of this physique was fully revealed.

It was a body that would make any Omega fall in love involuntarily.

The thing was, Jiu Yi had always focused solely on completing her missions without getting overly entangled with characters in the books, which meant her romantic history was virtually a blank slate.

The System could understand her mindset. After all, quite a few transmigrators failed their missions and ended up trapping themselves in the process, leaving them stuck in those worlds forever.

That was a terrifying prospect.

But with Jiu Yi, there was never any need to fear such a thing, because she simply didn’t possess those kinds of thoughts or weaknesses.

In short, she was extremely cold-hearted.

But since she had already come to this world to finish her final mission and prepare for retirement, shouldn’t she relax a bit and look for her destined partner?

And to make an Omega like her… both looks and physique were indispensable, right?

In any case, the System had given Jiu Yi the absolute best. It was just that the original owner of the body had been useless enough to get poisoned without even realizing it, resulting in the current state of affairs.

Still, that didn’t mean she should let Leng Xuelang take advantage of her like this!

Leng Xuelang’s gaze looked as if she wanted to strip Jiu Yi down to the bone and devour her.

That absolutely wouldn’t do!

The System was incredibly anxious, calling out continuously inside her mind to wake her up.

By now, Leng Xuelang had searched Jiu Yi’s body from top to bottom. Aside from discovering that her gland was exceptionally enticing, she couldn’t find anything else…

Could her judgment have been wrong? But she could clearly sense that the incredibly strong aura of that object was originating right from Jiu Yi. There was absolutely no mistake.

Leng Xuelang refused to back down. She had traveled thousands of miles from Haicheng based on a clue just to find this item, she couldn’t simply find nothing after suffering such a massive loss.

Gazing at Jiu Yi, who was still under hypnosis and entirely devoid of her own will, she decided to search one more time. She absolutely could not give up.

Her hand landed on Jiu Yi’s collar once more. The collar was already loose and messy, revealing a large expanse of fair skin. Even though Jiu Yi was a sickly Alpha, she still made Leng Xuelang’s heart race inexplicably. Her pheromones poured out uncontrollably again, wrapping tightly around Jiu Yi until they covered nearly every inch of her.

“Are your pheromones… trying to strangle me to death?”

Just as Leng Xuelang’s pheromones were about to wrap around her gland, Jiu Yi’s voice finally sounded. Her eyes were still somewhat vacant, but her tone was extremely cold and highly guarded, which only triggered Leng Xuelang’s rebellious streak.

“Too bad they can’t strangle you to death.”

“Miss Leng, your pheromones are courting me. Can’t you feel it yourself?” Having just awakened from the hypnosis, Jiu Yi’s body was still a bit stiff. However, that didn’t stop her from overpowering Leng Xuelang. She reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close.

Leng Xuelang didn’t feel guilty at all. Though her face remained flushed, she stared unblinkingly into Jiu Yi’s face, leaning in with the intention of kissing her lips.

Jiu Yi wasn’t about to let her succeed. She turned her head almost instantly to dodge, causing the kiss to land on the corner of her lips instead.

Jiu Yi bumped her forehead gently against Leng Xuelang’s, her tone remaining unchanged. “Sorry, my company bans workplace romances.”

System: 【…】

Host, you really are an unyielding block of iron!

It was completely out of ideas regarding her and could only watch how things unfolded. It felt that its host lacked self-awareness, did she not know she possessed an incredibly alluring and bewitching face?

Getting this close, whose willpower was she trying to test?

“I don’t understand the financial reports you gave me. Why don’t you teach me?” Leng Xuelang tried her best to restrain the restlessness and heat inside her. She still hadn’t given up, believing that Jiu Yi definitely possessed what she was looking for and was just unwilling to give it to her.

Furthermore, while using financial reports as an antidote was fine, she absolutely wouldn’t sit there and read them like an idiot all by herself. If they were going to look at them, they should look at them together, otherwise where was the fun in that?

“What did you major in during college? Garbage? You can’t even understand such a simple financial report, yet you dare ask me how much salary you want?”

Leng Xuelang simply looked at her with an innocent expression, blinking her eyes as if she didn’t care in the least.

Jiu Yi: ?

“System, is she really the male lead’s white moonlight stand-in?”

【Yes she is. Look at how sweet and naive she is. She doesn’t mind at all even after you scolded her like that, and she’s still smiling at you. How could she not be the stand-in?】

Jiu Yi: She still felt that something was amiss.

Sighing, she stopped overthinking it. The priority right now was to dispel the aphrodisiac in her system, otherwise tonight was going to be troublesome.

Besides, how did she even get in here? She had clearly locked the door when she went to take a bath to ensure no one could enter, so how did she suddenly appear right in front of her?

And… soaking in the tub with her?

As Jiu Yi thought about this, she picked Leng Xuelang up to lift her out. However, she forgot the current physical limitations of this frail body. Right as she lifted her up and before she could step out of the bathtub, they fell right back in with a loud splash. Water splattered everywhere, and Leng Xuelang’s lips pressed against hers once more.
