The CEO Omega’s 'Soft Rice' Alpha - Chapter 1
Chapter 1
In July, the weather in Beijing changes on a whim. One moment it’s basking in brilliant sunshine, and the next, a pitter-patter of heavy rain begins to fall.
At the corner of the most bustling street in the city, a black Ferrari pulled up in front of the largest bar in the area. The door opened, and a young female Alpha in a vibrant, flashy red dress stepped out in five-centimeter heels.
Oversized black sunglasses covered nearly half of her face, obscuring her features, but judging by her fiery figure, fair and delicate jawline, and nearly perfect lips, she was a rare beauty. She possessed both the sharp edge of an Alpha and the allure of an Omega—truly a darling of the heavens.
“D*mn it!”
Before she could even step into the bar, the rain splattered onto her. Her face flushed with irritation as she muttered under her breath, “Who runs to a bar in the middle of the night and expects to find a pure, innocent man?”
Su Yi’an had died in a car accident and was bound to a system that brought her into an ABO romance novel where a CEO female Omega relentlessly pursues a pure male Alpha. Her identity was Su Yi’an, the wicked “little aunt” of the male lead, Zhan Ming. In the original plot, she kicked Zhan Ming while he was down after his family went bankrupt, forcing the college student to sell both his art and his body. Eventually, he was discovered and “kept” by the female lead, Lan Yan, thus beginning his career of “eating soft rice.”
This grudge ran so deep that even after Zhan Ming became a superstar later in life, he remained bitter about it until his dying breath.
By the time Su Yi’an transmigrated, the situation was already set. The system’s mission for her was to guide the male lead toward a positive life and stop him from living off a woman.
Tonight was the first meeting between the leads, right here in this bar. Lan Yan would suffer a sudden pheromone disorder, leading to her first encounter with Zhan Ming and laying the foundation for the “kept man” plotline. Su Yi’an had rushed back from abroad specifically to prevent them from meeting.
The system sounded a bit intimidated and spoke up timidly: “The male lead was driven to desperation by debt collectors, which is why he’s working part-time at the bar. Speaking of which, this is inseparable from your original character’s actions!”
In reality, the host was a wealthy socialite. During their first week in the book, the host had been abroad, doing nothing but making money and enjoying life—she was incredibly chill. The system was startled by her sudden outburst of temper.
Su Yi’an’s annoyance was merely due to the rain. Her temper came fast and left just as quickly. Hearing the system, she smoothed her expression and walked into the bar. “It’s just money, isn’t it? I’ll just give it to him.”
Whether in her past life or this one, the thing she lacked least was money. If a problem could be solved with money, it wasn’t a problem.
The system went silent. It wanted to tell her the mission wasn’t that simple, but after a thought, it decided to keep quiet. As long as she didn’t delay the main event, the host could toss things around however she liked.
Inside the bar, people were moving back and forth under flickering colored lights. Finding Zhan Ming—someone she had never seen—in this sea of people was going to be difficult. Just as she was about to call a waiter to ask, a flamboyant male Omega approached her with a glass of wine.
He took a deep breath, his fox-like eyes shamelessly scanning Su Yi’an up and down. “Wine-scented pheromones… mmm, intoxicating. Miss, care for a drink?”
As he spoke, he swirled the wine in his glass, his gaze so direct it felt like he wanted to swallow her whole.
Unlike other socialites, Su Yi’an had a clean social circle and had never been in love. She had never seen such a bold display. She didn’t lose her cool, but she was intensely annoyed—goosebumps were practically breaking out over her skin. The “stinky tofu” scent of the male Omega’s pheromones made her want to gag. For the first time, she truly hated this ABO world.
Frowning deeply, she turned to leave and collided with someone rushing past. A faint, sweet grape fragrance drifted into her nose, clearing her dizzy head.
The lights hit the woman in front of her. Her narrow, watery eyes were flushed with a feverish red, and her eyelashes fluttered like fans. The blue shirt she had been wearing properly was now tugged open, revealing a glimpse of fair, surging curves.
“Get lost!”
The woman’s voice was soft as a kitten’s, and her attempt to push Su Yi’an away made Su Yi’an’s heart skip a beat. Following the woman’s cold gaze, she realized her hand was still wrapped around the woman’s waist.
No wonder it felt so soft and slender! She felt like it might snap with the slightest pressure.
Su Yi’an regained her composure and withdrew her hand, feeling awkward. “You don’t look right. Do you need help?”
Given the scent, this had to be an Omega. In this world, Su Yi’an was an Alpha, so her previous action was indeed an offense. But she really wasn’t a creep; she had only reached out instinctively because the woman looked like she was about to collapse.
Even if this woman was exactly her type.
The grape fragrance grew more intense, making the back of Su Yi’an’s neck burn and her heart itch. She couldn’t help but take a step forward, her face showing genuine kindness. “Don’t be afraid. I really just want to help you!”
The woman didn’t even give her a look. She pushed through the crowd, stumbling toward the restroom. Su Yi’an followed her, worried.
A bar was a den of dragons and snakes. Given this beauty’s state, her pheromones were clearly out of control. If she wasn’t mistaken, there was no other Alpha’s scent on her. An unmarked beauty alone in a place like this—it was obviously dangerous. As an upright, kind-hearted woman, Su Yi’an naturally felt the need to rescue this poor “little pitiful” thing!
Seeing the host drifting off course, the system had to intervene: “Host, our target is Zhan Ming. Everyone else is irrelevant. Time is pressing; I hope you won’t let your lust cloud your judgment!”
Based on its observations, Su Yi’an wasn’t someone who liked meddling in others’ business and usually hated trouble. This was the first time it had seen her go out of her way to find it. The system didn’t believe for a second that she wasn’t interested in the girl’s looks. Look at that—the scent of those pheromones was enough to make anyone drunk.
Su Yi’an turned a deaf ear. As they neared the restroom, she caught the swaying woman. “Miss Grape…”
Before she could finish, the sweating woman used a burst of strength to pull Su Yi’an into the restroom with her. In a blur of motion, Su Yi’an was pinned against the sink. A sweet, grape-flavored softness pressed against her lips, and all she could hear was the sound of suppressed breathing…
Su Yi’an’s legs went weak. She was completely stunned.
Her first kiss…
The woman didn’t seem very skilled—she was a bit clumsy—but it was simply wonderful. It was better than the happiness of making a fortune!
It wasn’t until her sharp teeth grazed the back of Su Yi’an’s neck that Su Yi’an finally regained her senses. With a flushed face, she opened her palm and stammered, “I have… I have scent blockers and… and suppressants!”
Ever since she learned that Alphas and Omegas could go into heat at any time, she had started carrying these things everywhere—for both Alphas and Omegas. She couldn’t help it; she felt her appearance was quite the “invitation to crime.” On her first day in this world, an Omega had tried to climb into her bed, and even an Alpha had gone against nature to confess to her. Su Yi’an, who detested “sleeping together for the sake of sleeping together,” had to be prepared.
Because this woman’s looks suited her so well, she wanted to help. Who would have known… cough… the kiss was an accident!
“Lan-lan, you called me here, what’s…”
Just as they were in a deadlock, a soft-looking male Omega walked in. Seeing their intimate posture, his face darkened. He swung his bag at Su Yi’an without hesitation. “Ah! You creep! What are you trying to do to our Lan-lan?!”
Under the strange looks of the bystanders, Su Yi’an was beaten out of the restroom. It wasn’t that she couldn’t fight back, nor was it just a case of “tender feelings for the fair sex”—she simply couldn’t bring herself to strike that “Miss Grape’s” face.
Lan-lan? Was that the woman’s nickname? It sounded lovely.
Su Yi’an’s fingers lightly brushed her lips, her eyes shining like stars.
The system felt helpless. “Having fun kissing, Host? Zhan Ming is currently being bullied to death!”
Su Yi’an: “…If I wanted to pursue Lan-lan, what do you think…”
The system was horrified: “No! The Host does not want to, and this system will not watch! Please focus on the mission, or both of us will be scrapped and sent back for re-processing!”
Fine!
She had originally wanted the system to help check the person’s identity, but she decided she’d just pursue her secretly once today’s mission was over.
Su Yi’an cast a regretful look back at the restroom, only to meet the woman’s unreadable gaze. The woman’s red-tinted eyes flicked toward her as she threw the suppressants and scent blockers Su Yi’an had given her into the trash can right in front of her.
Tsk. Quite the guard she has. Cold and fierce, like a rose with thorns!
What should I do? I think I like her even more.
Su Yi’an clutched her pounding chest and turned away in a flurry.
