The CEO Omega’s 'Soft Rice' Alpha - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

“Lan Lan, what happened to you today? And what was the deal with that female Alpha?”

Jiang Mu applied the suppressor and scent-blocking patch he had brought for Lan Yan. Only after seeing her turbulent pheromones stabilize did he ask anxiously.

At that moment, another female Omega walked in. She gave Jiang Mu an eccentric look.

The restrooms here were divided into six categories: Male Alpha, Female Alpha, Male Omega, Female Omega, Female Beta, and Male Beta. Jiang Mu had entered the Female Omega restroom, which explained the woman’s strange gaze.

Lan Yan shook her head. With cold self-possession, she fastened her shirt button to the very top and gestured for Jiang Mu to walk out with her.

For an Omega, age thirty is a threshold. If one isn’t marked by an Alpha before then, their pheromones will spiral completely out of control; the older they get, the greater the harm to their body. Her thirtieth birthday was next month. Although her family hadn’t said much, they had frequently arranged blind dates with Alphas, none of whom she found acceptable.

This bar belonged to her cousin, Lan Yu. He was the one who shared the best relationship with her. Lan Yan had come today because Lan Yu mentioned a clean, innocent youth had arrived at the bar.

The boy’s name was Zhan Ming. He was eighteen, a fresh university student with a beautiful face and a soft temperament. Due to family debts, he was in desperate need of money and was particularly easy to control. Originally, Lan Yan had no intention of “corrupting” a younger boy—after all, she was much older—but she couldn’t withstand Lan Yu’s repeated persuasion. Combined with her recently malfunctioning pheromones and the thought of those nauseating Alphas from the blind dates, Lan Yan had finally come.

She hadn’t expected her pheromones to go haywire before she even saw her cousin. Her suppressors and scent-blockers had just run out, and Lan Yu wouldn’t pick up his phone. Thus, the previous incident occurred.

Calling her best friend Jiang Mu was a move of desperation, but fortunately, unlike her cousin who always dropped the ball at critical moments, Jiang Mu was reliable as ever.

She had been just a hair’s breadth away from… with a stranger Alpha in that restroom. Now, she was going to settle the score with her “dear” cousin!

Just as Lan Yan stepped out of the restroom, her phone buzzed repeatedly.

“Yan Yan, why didn’t you pick up?”

“I was doing serious business just now and didn’t have my phone on me. Don’t you dare use this as an excuse to run away!”

“Zhan Ming and I are in Room 888. Come over as soon as you see this, or I’m taking back that plot of land I gave you yesterday.”

Lan Yan looked at the dozen missed calls and multiple messages. She pursed her lips, her eyes darkening.

“Who is it? Who’s annoyed you now?” Jiang Mu looked at the suddenly freezing Lan Yan, rubbing the goosebumps that had instinctively surfaced on his arms.

The little princess of the Lan family had been pampered since childhood, possessing a dominant and uncompromising personality. At twenty-three, she took over the nearly bankrupt Lan Group as an Omega, and in just five years, turned it into the leader of the jewelry industry in the capital. Who would dare provoke her? Could it be those Lan family boys? That seemed likely.

Lan Yan gave a mirthless smile. “It’s nothing. Thanks for coming down today, A-Mu. I have other things to attend to, so go on back. I’ll treat you to dinner another day.”

Jiang Mu was sensible. “Alright then. Lan Lan, if you need anything, remember to find me. I’m on call 24/7!”

“Okay.” A rare, slight curve appeared at the corner of Lan Yan’s cold lips.

Following the system’s guidance, Su Yi’an circled the bar several times until she was sweating and dizzy. She finally found the place where Zhan Ming had been… three minutes ago.

Now, only a few servers were cleaning up the mess in the private room. Judging by the puddles of spilled alcohol and shattered bottles, something bad had happened. The servers didn’t know exactly where Zhan Ming had gone, only that the boss had called him away.

“That kid is too impulsive. Only his third day on the job and he causes such a scene.” “Exactly. He beat Manager Zhang into a pulp. He’s an Alpha anyway; what’s the big deal if someone touches him? Why be so stubborn?” “If you meet a rude guest, just tell the floor manager or the boss.”

The servers shook their heads while whispering.

The system was practically wailing. “I told you my positioning isn’t accurate, but Host wouldn’t listen! Now look, the female lead has already met Zhan Ming. It’s useless for Host to go there now.”

Su Yi’an rubbed her nose and turned her foot around. “Since it’s already like this, I don’t need to see Zhan Ming tonight. I’m going home to sleep!”

Despite saying that, her feet instinctively moved toward the restroom she had just left.

The system shrieked: “What is Host trying to do?”

Su Yi’an flashed a breathtaking smile. “Didn’t you say I’d be obliterated if the mission fails? Before I die, I want to taste the flavor of ‘grapes’ one more time. Is that not allowed?”

“No, no, no!” The system’s voice cracked in fear. “It’s only a ten-point deduction! As long as Host completes the next mission within three days to make up the points, there’s still a chance for rescue! Host must not do anything that destroys moral values!”

Su Yi’an wanted to laugh. She just wanted to kiss a woman; it didn’t mean she would use illegal means. How was that destroying moral values? She would never use pheromones to force an Omega like those Alphas who relied on physical strength. Couldn’t she just pursue a woman properly?

Fine, since she wasn’t going to die yet, there would be plenty of opportunities later. That sweet “Miss Grape” had likely already left anyway. If she continued to be willful, this soft system would really be scared to tears. Having it crying in her head was annoying.

“What’s the next mission?” Su Yi’an asked leisurely as she walked out of the bar.

“I was almost scared to death by Host! I knew Host was a good person—after all, you died in a car accident trying to save someone. Let me check the plot… here it is…”

The system breathed a sigh of relief and sent a “Keep it up!” emoji. “Tomorrow, the female lead will go to Zhan Ming’s school to formally pursue him and reach a ‘sponsorship’ agreement. Host’s mission is to sabotage this agreement. This is Host’s last chance. Completion rewards fifty points. Host cannot mess up like today!”

That’s easy, Su Yi’an thought. Zhan Ming just lacked money. She could find a way to give him the money first and then prevent them from meeting.

Su Yi’an didn’t commit, the smile on her vivid face deepening, though it didn’t reach her eyes. A good person? That depends on who I’m facing. But it was good to have a second chance at life, so she would take the next mission seriously.

Tonight, she really had been bewitched by that “Ice Grape.”

Su Yi’an lightly brushed her thumb against her lip and hurried toward her car. The rain had stopped; she didn’t want her good mood to be ruined by getting soaked again.

A black Ferrari sped past the bar, splashing rainwater.

Lan Yu followed Lan Yan out with a fawning smile. “Yan Yan, I really didn’t mean it tonight. Don’t tell the family. I heard you’re moving out soon; how about I give you an apartment? It’s right across from your company, worth several million.”

“By the way, what did you think of that Zhan Ming?”

Lan Yan watched the departing Ferrari, speaking absentmindedly, “Whatever.”

Why did she feel like the woman in that car looked like the female Alpha who had been with her in the restroom?

What am I thinking? she thought. Our paths won’t cross again.

However, that beautiful youth Zhan Ming was, as Lan Yu said, clean, innocent, and easy to control. Her pheromone issue was urgent; perhaps she could try talking to him.
