The Aloof Arch-rival Insists On Carrying The Child Of A Useless Alpha - Chapter 6

System: Host, you truly are a cold-blooded, emotionless demon!

Leng Xuelang had only just woken up and hadn’t fully gathered her wits yet, but a massive wave of last night’s memories rushed into her mind, causing her face to turn from blue to white and back again. What made it worse was the sheer shamelessness of a wisp of her own pheromones, which was still wrapped tightly around Jiu Yi’s fingertips. Her sense of shame reached its absolute peak.

Caring about absolutely nothing else, she immediately yanked the blanket over her head to play dead.

“Eh?” Jiu Yi, who had spent the entire night reviewing financial statements, wasn’t particularly tired. However, she found Leng Xuelang’s behavior utterly baffling. Steering her wheelchair over, she patted the blanket covering the girl and asked with a hint of curiosity, “Are you shy?”

Leng Xuelang remained completely still.

Jiu Yi: ?

“Don’t worry, I can pretend last night never happened, as long as you come work for my company.” Jiu Yi could only console her this way, trying not to sound like she was intentionally mocking her for last night’s humiliating experience.

But Leng Xuelang still couldn’t accept that such a thing had actually happened last night. It all felt like a dream. The most critical part was… she had actively asked the woman to mark her, yet the woman had remained completely unmoved.

This was something Leng Xuelang absolutely could not accept.

“How about 20,000 a month? You can choose any position you like.” Seeing that she still wasn’t moving, Jiu Yi continued to offer terms she believed would entice the other party.

System: [Host, is there a slight possibility that the compensation you’re offering isn’t what she wants at all?]

“Giving her a high-paying job and letting her pick her own position isn’t good enough?” Jiu Yi found this utterly unbelievable.

System: [Right now, she probably wants to pretend last night never happened, right? The conditions you’re offering have absolutely nothing to do with that. How could she possibly be satisfied?]

“…How troublesome.” Jiu Yi still had to suppress her temper as she said to her, “Rest assured, I will give you an explanation for last night’s matters. I won’t protect my nephew, and I won’t let anything like last night happen again.”

“But the premise is, you cannot see that worthless nephew of mine again. Stay by my side and focus on your work.”

“What if I say ‘no’?” Leng Xuelang could tell Jiu Yi wasn’t joking. Although she didn’t know why Jiu Yi wanted her to leave Si Yining, she just felt like opposing her.

“Then I’ll have no choice but to have people follow and monitor you 24 hours a day.”

Leng Xuelang: ?

She found it completely absurd. Before last night, she had never even heard of the figure “Si Jiu Yi.” It was bad enough that she had suddenly popped up last night, but she had also inexplicably disrupted her plans. Her own people were definitely looking for her right now, and they were likely frantic.

However, Leng Xuelang knew very well that while she had failed to find what she wanted from Si Yining last night, she had found it through Jiu Yi, she just didn’t know where the woman had hidden it.

The thing she was looking for was incredibly important to her, she had to find it. But even though she now knew it was on Jiu Yi, she still didn’t know its exact location. She felt she needed to take her time and search thoroughly.

This meant that, no matter how reluctant she was, she would have to stay by Jiu Yi’s side for a while.

“Well? Think of it as free 24 hours protection if you like,” Jiu Yi continued, throwing out her conditions when she saw the girl remain silent.

“I don’t want to look at financial reports.” Leng Xuelang hated dealing with numbers the most. Since she had to stay by her side anyway, she naturally wanted to choose something she was actually interested in.

“What do you want to do?” Jiu Yi thought financial reports were rather nice to look at. At the very least, they let you know how much money you had made and how you could make money next.

“Is your company a game development company?”

“Yes.”

“Then can I work as a game planner?”

“That works too.” Jiu Yi didn’t care what she did, as long as she stayed within her sight at all times.

“Is there an evaluation?”

“Of course.” Jiu Yi’s current method for completing her objective was to keep Leng Xuelang as busy as possible, absolutely never letting her have free time to think about random nonsense and absolutely never letting her think about that coward, Si Yining, ever again.

“What is it?” Leng Xuelang inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

Jiu Yi didn’t say anything. Instead, she suddenly leaned in close. Their breaths were close enough to be heard, causing Leng Xuelang’s heart to skip a beat. Yet, she stubbornly refused to back away.

“You have crust in the corner of your eye. It seems you have too much internal heat. It would be best to drink a dose of cooling herbal tea to lower it today.” As she spoke, she didn’t mind the dirtiness at all, reaching out to wipe away the eye crust for her.

Leng Xuelang: ?

For some reason, her face flushed red. She was so thoroughly embarrassed that it turned into anger, leaving her unable to utter a single word.

“No need to be too moved. Although I am a capitalist, I treat my employees well.”

Leng Xuelang: ?

System: […] Brilliant.

System: [Host, Leng Xuelang’s disgust meter towards you has reached 85! You better take it easy.]

“What happens if it exceeds 100?”

System: [She’ll blacken, and when that time comes, you’ll be doomed too.]

“But I… didn’t really do anything to her?” Jiu Yi didn’t quite understand.

System: Seeing that she was genuinely confused, the system had no idea how to explain interpersonal relationships to her. After all, while the host was omnipotent, her social skills were practically non-existent.

Her social density was horrifyingly slow.

System: [Next time, just don’t help her clean her eye crust.] That was all it could say.

“Then how do I show kindness in front of her?”

System: […Give her a raise!]

Knock, knock!

Before Jiu Yi could finish her conversation with the system, someone knocked on the door. Jiu Yi didn’t open it immediately, waiting for the person outside to state their business.

“President Si, today’s itinerary has been finalized. Could you please take a look?” The person outside was likely the original body’s assistant or secretary. The system hadn’t detected any issues with her, so Jiu Yi let her in.

A female Beta walked in. She subconsciously glanced around the room and saw Leng Xuelang sitting on the bed, looking practically disheveled, while Jiu Yi was still wearing last night’s pajamas. One could clearly see hickeys on Jiu Yi’s jawline and the side of her neck. The dark circles under her eyes were severe, and the scent of pheromones still lingered in the room, feeling rather thick…

The special assistant, Xin Tang, was utterly shocked. Remembering the state Jiu Yi and Leng Xuelang were in last night, especially since Leng Xuelang had been drugged, how could nothing have happened when the two of them were in the same room like dry firewood and a raging fire?

So… did President Si mark this Omega of unknown origins last night?

This… this was simply unbelievable.

“Xin Tang, what are you thinking about? Hand me the itinerary.” Jiu Yi called her special assistant several times. Seeing that she still wasn’t responding, she looked at her curiously.

“…President Si, you must be exhausted from last night. Don’t you need to rest for the day?” The special assistant snapped out of it and asked discreetly.

“I’m not very tired. I can still continue tonight.”

“!” She couldn’t help but glance at Leng Xuelang, who was still sitting on the bed. “Then… then can this Omega lady handle it?”

After all, Omegas were relatively delicate. Enduring one night was already not easy, and they were going to continue for another?

Xin Tang felt that her usual perception of Jiu Yi had been completely shattered.

“Her? Of course, she didn’t put in any effort anyway. She just lay flat and enjoyed it.”

President Si, please don’t just blurt out such wild and scandalous words so recklessly, ahhhh!

Xin Tang wondered if she had misheard. Otherwise, how could she hear such words… words she had never heard her boss say before? Or was this Omega, who had been snatched back from Si Yining, truly so irresistible that it made her boss involuntarily utter such face-flushing phrases?

She really wasn’t treating her like an outsider at all.

“Then… then President Si, you should still take care of your health and not overexert yourself too much. After all… this is a long-term matter. You can’t ruin your body just for temporary pleasure.” Xin Tang knew she couldn’t flat out convince Jiu Yi, so she could only offer this tactful reminder.

“How could this kind of thing ruin my body? My spirit is quite good right now.” Jiu Yi felt her subordinate was misunderstanding something, but she didn’t want her staff to think her health was failing either. That could easily cause misunderstandings, and it would be troublesome if they didn’t work hard as a result.

She did not wish to see that.

“But… can this Omega lady take it?” What Xin Tang suddenly realized was whether her boss was just putting on a brave face… The more incapable someone was, the more they insisted they were perfectly fine, even forcing others to cooperate with the lie?

And looking at how flushed this Omega’s face was, acting completely detached from beginning to end as if it had nothing to do with her, the special assistant inexplicably felt she was unfathomable, even highly scheming.

That young master Si Yining looked… loitering and unreliable, but he wasn’t someone to be trifled with either. Was it really a good idea for their boss to take someone from him?

Right now, things looked highly unfavorable.

“Leng Xuelang, we’ll meet in the downstairs living room in half an hour.” Jiu Yi didn’t discuss the matter further with her special assistant, but she didn’t want to stay here and be stared at either, so she gave a brief instruction before heading out.

“President Si… aren’t you going to give me a morning kiss?” Leng Xuelang didn’t stop them from leaving, but she could tell that the assistant had definitely misunderstood her relationship with Jiu Yi. Intent on ruining Jiu Yi’s image in front of her subordinate, she deliberately spoke up as Jiu Yi passed by her.

Jiu Yi glanced at her, her expression slightly repulsed. “You haven’t brushed your teeth.”

Leng Xuelang: ?

Xin Tang: ?

System: …Brilliant.

Jiu Yi and Xin Tang returned to the master bedroom. As for Hong Kong, the original body actually came here often. There were assets left to her by her Omega mother here that required periodic inspections.

Furthermore, many exhibitions in Hong Kong were quite excellent, so it was normal to come over to view them and look for inspiration.

Because of this, although the mansion was located deep in the mountains, it didn’t feel desolate. At the very least, the scenery outside the window during the day was highly pleasant.

Now back in her master bedroom, she looked at Xin Tang and said directly, “Report today’s itinerary.”

“Yes.” Xin Tang didn’t mention Leng Xuelang anymore, focusing entirely on reporting the day’s schedule. “Today, you will mainly attend an auction to select that 18^th century gemstone necklace you took an interest in before. It’s for the Old Madam’s birthday, which is also the most important purpose of your visit to Hong Kong.”

“Aside from that?”

“Visiting the latest technology exhibition.”

“Arrange a game planner interview for Leng Xuelang. Make it tomorrow,” Jiu Yi thought for a moment and added.

BANG, CRASH!!!

System: [Host! Emergency mission! Leng Xuelang is in danger! She’s in danger! Hurry and rescue her!]

Just as Jiu Yi finished giving her orders, a loud crash echoed from the adjacent guest bedroom, sending silent vibrations through the air.
