The CEO Omega’s 'Soft Rice' Alpha - Chapter 45

Chapter 45

The moment she saw Su Yi’an take out her driver’s license, Lan Yan’s gaze darkened: “You carry your license with you?”

Given her family situation, she actually had the spare cash to take the driving test and even carried the license on her person…

“Yes, because I liked it. I found a way to learn while I was an undergraduate.”

Su Yi’an’s face turned slightly pale, as if recalling an unpleasant memory: “I have to carry all my important belongings with me, Sister.”

She opened her backpack, revealing her household register and ID card inside.

That’s right—she was prepared to marry her Sister at any moment, so she had someone bring her household register over early. Her father knew she was in the Country of Hua and had called her; lately, he had been messaging her constantly, but his words were always about getting her to meet Lan Yin, so she rarely replied.

The so-called “childhood betrothal” with Lan Yin was just a casual remark made by the parents before they were even born. There wasn’t even a token of engagement; it essentially didn’t exist. According to her father, it would only be official if she and Lan Yin actually liked each other, so she hadn’t bothered to ask him to cancel it.

Perhaps the Lan family had forgotten all about it anyway. She didn’t want to provoke other members of the Lan family right now to avoid unnecessary complications.

Of course, if her Sister cared about it, she wouldn’t mind going through the formal procedure to cancel it.

Aside from pretending to be poor, she really wasn’t lying to her Sister. As for the “distressed” look on her face—that was her Sister’s own interpretation; it had nothing to do with her. Even if she were exposed later, she would have a way to explain herself.

While Su Yi’an was sincere, she was also calculating. However, this calculation was built on the premise of never hurting her Sister.

In Lan Yan’s eyes, Su Yi’an’s daze was a painful recollection of the past, which made her feel involuntarily guilty. She had been too sensitive; even if the little Alpha didn’t have money at home, she was an adult. A driver’s license only cost about six thousand yuan—perhaps the little Alpha had endured many unknown hardships to afford that passion.

Just like their first meeting, when the little Alpha faced off against her second uncle and aunt for the sake of the postgraduate entrance exam. Carrying these things with her was likely to escape the control of those relatives. The little Alpha didn’t say it, but she must be grieving inside.

Thinking that if the little Alpha hadn’t met her, she might have been forced to marry some village chief’s son, Lan Yan felt a sudden surge of irritability. She unbuckled her seatbelt, looked at Su Yi’an, and softened her voice: “You come drive.”

Without many words, the gesture made Su Yi’an feel strangely warm. She had guessed that her Sister wouldn’t doubt her too much because of this. Su Yi’an struggled to control the upward curve of her lips as she obediently swapped seats with Lan Yan.

After sitting in the passenger seat, Lan Yan asked as if casually: “Since you got your license, do you drive often?” On the surface, she was calm, but her body was actually tense.

Su Yi’an’s sharp eyes caught her slightly trembling hand. She shook her head mischievously and simply said: “The instructor said I have a lot of talent.”

She indeed rarely drove; aside from occasional racing, her assistant usually drove. Is Sister… doubting my driving skills? She was excellent at “driving” in every sense of the word.

Lan Yan’s face stiffened visibly, and her eyelid twitched: “Then… drive slowly. I’ll be watching from the side.” She didn’t explicitly say she didn’t trust her, nor did she say she would teach her or forbid her from driving. Su Yi’an really wanted to laugh.

She held it in, not wanting her Sister to be terrified the whole way, and continued: “My second uncle has a pickup truck in the countryside that he uses for hauling goods. Every time I go back, I help out. The mountain roads in the village are rugged and much harder than the city. Although I don’t drive often, this road is no problem. You don’t have to worry, Sister.”

“I trust you,” Lan Yan said, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the little Alpha she found was an all-rounder. She could fight, cook, and drive. She didn’t drink, didn’t play around, and most importantly, she was exceptionally obedient. This was the dream Alpha many Omegas longed for. With just that face alone, she would be very sought after.

Lan Yan looked at Su Yi’an’s serious profile and found herself lost in thought. How can there be such a good-looking and considerate Alpha? If one were to date or marry someone like this, they would surely be very happy, right? Wait, what am I thinking… Lan Yan’s face flushed, and she quickly turned her head to look out the window.

Su Yi’an, who had been secretly delighted by her Sister’s gaze, felt a pang of disappointment. Since her Sister wasn’t looking at her, she lost the mood to show off her driving skills.

Su Yi’an stepped on the gas, and the scenery outside receded rapidly. In the wind-like speed, Lan Yan finally understood what the little Alpha meant by “don’t worry.” They arrived home even faster than she usually drove, and the ride was perfectly steady. Before reaching home, Lan Yan had expected the little Alpha to lose at least six points on her license.

This was truly impressive; no wonder the instructor said she was talented. These skills seemed even better than her own.

“Not bad,” Lan Yan praised her rarely after getting out of the car.

Praise from her beloved made Su Yi’an happier than when she won first place in a race. She felt like she was floating as she walked: “Still a bit worse than Sister.” Her words flowed more freely: “If it’s ever inconvenient for Sister to drive in the future, you can call me.”

Female Alphas in this world didn’t have the physiological periods of her previous life, but Omegas did. On those days, it must be inconvenient for her Sister. She could be available whenever called.

After getting out of the car, Su Yi’an didn’t dare look into Lan Yan’s eyes, so her gaze fell on Lan Yan’s car. This led Lan Yan to misunderstand. The little Alpha’s enthusiasm for the car exceeded her imagination. This also confirmed what the girl said about getting a license because she “liked” it.

Lan Yan felt a bit conflicted. Since moving here, she didn’t need to drive to work. Driving to the company actually required a long detour and took twice as long as walking. So, she only used the car to pick up the little Alpha. She had more than one car under her name; the others were at the old family mansion.

Though she hadn’t bought this one long ago, it was the cheapest of her collection. She wouldn’t mind giving it to the little Alpha, since the girl had lost so much for her.

But if she gave it to her directly, would the little Alpha overthink it? She definitely wouldn’t accept it either. Moreover, while the car wasn’t expensive to her, it wasn’t something a poor student could afford. If others, especially Lan Yin, found out, would it be bad? Why do I feel like I’m trending more and more toward becoming a ‘greasy old woman’…

Lan Yan thought for a moment and handed the car keys to Su Yi’an, ultimately not speaking of it as a gift: “Whenever we meet in the future, you drive. Of course, if you have other uses for it, you can use it too.”

She paused and continued: “Preferably, don’t drive it to school.”

Firstly, it wouldn’t be good for the little Alpha’s reputation; secondly, although many people drove this model, Lan Yin knew her license plate. If Lan Yin saw it, she would understand everything.

The words weren’t too direct, but Su Yi’an understood that this behavior was essentially giving her the car, since she had even handed over the keys.

Su Yi’an: “…”

Sister, did you misunderstand something? I don’t want the car! I meant it literally—I wanted to spend more time with you and didn’t want you to be too tired. This really made her feel like a “pretty boy” kept by a rich woman. Forget it, it was a gift from her Sister anyway. They were going to get married in the end; what was hers would be her Sister’s. Besides, since her Sister didn’t explicitly say it was a gift, she couldn’t even refuse.

Though it differed from what she had in mind, Su Yi’an took the keys from Lan Yan’s hand: “Thank you, Sister.” She would just pretend not to understand the underlying meaning and become her exclusive personal driver. Su Yi’an smiled, and Lan Yan couldn’t help it either; the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

This was the first time she had ever wanted to give someone a car, and it felt pretty good. The little Alpha’s eyes lit up; she hadn’t even said she was giving it to her, yet she was this happy. Did she love driving that much? She wondered how happy the girl would be when she finally told her the car was hers. The two weren’t on the same wavelength, but both were in an unusually good mood.

“Has Sister had dinner yet?” Upon returning home, Su Yi’an looked at the quiet kitchen and asked.

She had just come from Lan Yin’s studio today when she received the System’s prompt and rushed to the bar; she hadn’t had time to eat, but she wasn’t hungry. She just worried that her Sister had also rushed to the bar without eating. Lan Yan didn’t answer directly.

She picked up the little white cat, Xiao Bai, who came pouncing over, and glanced at Su Yi’an: “And you?”

She was indeed a bit hungry. It was too late today, so she had let the cook leave. But if the little Alpha had already eaten, she didn’t want to trouble her at this hour. It must be said that both were thinking the same thing.

Su Yi’an understood instantly: “I haven’t eaten, I’m a bit hungry. How about I make something, and Sister can eat too?”

Lan Yan nodded, her expression growing even softer as she looked at her: “Okay.”

It was nearly 10:00 PM. Afraid of affecting her Sister’s rest, Su Yi’an simply cooked two bowls of noodles to save time. After they finished eating, they sat quietly in the living room with the sound of the TV in the background. A night breeze blew in, and Lan Yan gradually felt sleepy. She stood up and said: “I’ll take Xiao Bai for a bath. You should get some rest.”

Su Yi’an nodded. Unexpectedly, Xiao Bai, who had been nesting obediently in Lan Yan’s arms, suddenly lunged onto Su Yi’an. Su Yi’an caught the cat instinctively. Before she could react, Xiao Bai left.

Su Yi’an looked down at a small, brown, round pellet in her hand. Her scalp went numb.

This little thing actually went out of its way to poop on her! Was it trying to make her look bad in front of her Sister? She didn’t smell anything, but Su Yi’an felt “stinky” all over. She didn’t even dare to shake the pellet onto her Sister’s clean floor. From her observation, while her Sister didn’t have severe OCD, she was very fond of cleanliness.

Lan Yan’s expression changed as well. She grabbed the fleeing Xiao Bai and said to Su Yi’an with deep apology: “I’m sorry, I haven’t disciplined it well. Go take a shower and change your clothes first.” She knew Xiao Bai was vengeful, but she hadn’t expected it to be so brazen.

Since staying at Lan Yu’s place recently, it had been raised more and more wild. It used to go in a fixed spot—look what it had done! If this continued, she would send it back to the old family mansion. Lan Yan was red-faced with anger.

Hearing her Sister’s soft voice and seeing her flushed face, Su Yi’an’s anger dissipated: “It’s okay, Sister.” However, she was still disgusted. She also liked cleanliness, and anyone would feel unpleasant in this situation. Su Yi’an held her body stiffly, careful not to let the pellet fall to the floor.

Once she entered the bathroom, she couldn’t wait to dispose of the eyesore. Then she stripped, scrubbed her body repeatedly—especially where the pellet had touched—and used a lot of body wash until her skin was slightly red.

As she washed, Su Yi’an realized something was wrong. She seemed to have forgotten to bring a change of clothes. What should she do? The set she took off was already wet, and she felt as if those clothes were covered in Xiao Bai’s scent.

Putting them back on would require another shower, and she really didn’t want to wear them. Just thinking about what happened gave her goosebumps.

Maybe… I should ask Sister to bring them in… Su Yi’an’s face turned red at the thought, and her breathing quickened. But she found it hard to say; it felt too shameful. However, as an Alpha, shouldn’t she take the initiative to get closer to her Sister? But would taking the initiative now be bad given their current relationship? Su Yi’an fell into a dilemma and took another shower.

After Lan Yan scolded Xiao Bai and tucked it into its little nest in the corner of her bedroom—after the last incident, for some reason, she had prepared a separate sleeping place for the cat—she realized the little Alpha hadn’t come out for a long time.

Lan Yan suddenly remembered that in her fluster, the girl hadn’t taken a change of clothes. Was that why she wasn’t coming out? Was she too shy to call for her and just enduring it?

She guessed correctly. She was both annoyed and amused. She glared at the pitiful Xiao Bai huddling in the cat nest again: “It’s all your fault, you little thing.” Then, Lan Yan helplessly went to the wardrobe, took the bathrobe the little Alpha had worn last time (which was now clean), and walked out of the bedroom.

The little Alpha was showering in the outside bathroom. She couldn’t see inside, but hearing the sound of the water, Lan Yan’s face turned red. She hadn’t thought much about it before, but being near the little Alpha now, thinking of that fair, damp skin, Lan Yan couldn’t control her blushing irritation—annoyance at the troublemaker Xiao Bai, and shame for… well, it was obvious.

Just thinking about the scene made Lan Yan feel as if steam were rising from her head. She had actually seen the little Alpha like this before—on the first day of her “special period.” They had been practically bare then. Although her back had been turned, for a split second, she had seen the little Alpha’s full form.

She had been so dazed then that she knew nothing and could only passively endure. Thinking back now, the little Alpha in that state was truly intoxicating. It really wasn’t a mystery why some older women liked “young grass.” If she hadn’t come to her senses in time, they might have gone to the final step.

Thinking of this, Lan Yan’s body stiffened slightly. She seemed to… feel something unusual. She realized that ever since she had that extraordinary intimacy with the little Alpha, her body reacted differently than usual. She had started to have “thoughts” about an Alpha. They said for an Omega, it’s either zero times or once you’ve had it once, you’ll constantly crave it. Was it true? Moreover, she was currently at that “fearsome” age. No matter how much she didn’t want to admit it, she couldn’t ignore her body’s feelings.

But she didn’t seem to have these abnormal reactions toward anyone other than the little Alpha. The influence an Alpha had on an Omega’s pheromones was truly terrifying. The only consolation was that this little Alpha was a good person; at least she wouldn’t force her. Like last time—it was obvious she could barely hold back, yet she still listened and restrained herself.

Lan Yan felt a surge of panic, but she calmed down when she thought of Su Yi’an’s usual demeanor. She stood at the bathroom door, looking at the bathrobe in her hand, debating whether to bring it in. Both were in a dilemma—one inside the door, one outside.

Only when the water stopped and the little Alpha still didn’t emerge did Lan Yan finally knock on the door with a bright red face: “Did you forget to bring your bathrobe?”

The movement outside couldn’t escape Su Yi’an’s powerful mental energy. She was both happy and shy. “Yes,” she answered softly—just loud enough for Lan Yan to hear. Then, the bathroom door opened a crack, and a hand covered in steam reached out.

The crack was very small; basically nothing could be seen. The hand was normal, but in the eyes of Lan Yan, who had been daydreaming, it felt different. In her daze, she handed over the bathrobe, but the small crack made it difficult. Lan Yan slipped, and along with the bathrobe, she fell into Su Yi’an’s arms.

It happened even more suddenly than the Xiao Bai incident. The floor was slippery, and Su Yi’an was distracted. She had no time to react. There was a thud as the back of her head hit the floor hard, making her dizzy. Especially with the “grape” fragrance filling her face, she couldn’t think of anything.

“Ah… Do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper! Little Crybaby is still a baby!” The System screamed and covered its eyes, but it still scanned the back of Su Yi’an’s head. Seeing no major problem, it silently vanished.

As a System with a strong moral compass, it cared about the mission and the Host’s health, but it couldn’t peek at certain private matters. While it looked okay for now, its intuition told it that the following scenes weren’t suitable for viewing, just like when the Host helped resolve Lan Yan’s pheromone disorder.

The System’s scream woke Su Yi’an up instantly. She didn’t care about her own awkward state; her first priority was the Lan Yan on top of her: “Sister, are you hurt anywhere?”

A blush crept onto Lan Yan’s pale face: “…” Falling into the little Alpha’s arms—how could she be hurt? Rather, it was that loud thud that had scared her, making her think something had happened to the girl. Now it seemed there was no major issue.

Once the initial worry passed, the sensation of smooth skin made Lan Yan too embarrassed to move. She felt that if she moved, she would touch something she shouldn’t—though the current situation wasn’t much better.

“Sister…” The little Alpha’s hot breath suddenly fanned against her ear, startling Lan Yan. She couldn’t care about anything else. She turned her head away, scrambled up, draped the bathrobe over the little Alpha’s head, and rushed out of the bathroom in a panic: “Get dressed first. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Although she felt the girl was fine, who could say for sure? She wouldn’t be at ease until she took her for a check-up. Bang! The bathroom door shut; the beauty was gone.

Su Yi’an, who had been enduring her shame to try and seduce her Sister for a kiss only to have her face covered by a bathrobe: “…”

If it were a white cloth, she could just lie there permanently. Fine—anything given by her Sister was good. The bathrobe had been protected by Lan Yan and wasn’t wet. Su Yi’an wiped herself down, put it on, and walked out.

Lan Yan was sitting on the sofa, her face alternating between red and white. She was holding her phone as if she wanted to call 120 for an ambulance. Su Yi’an hurried over and stopped her: “Sister, I’m really fine. No need for the hospital.” If something were wrong, the System would have told her.

Also, calling an ambulance was way too dramatic. She really didn’t want to go. Wouldn’t it be better to stay home with her Sister? Going would be a waste of time.

Su Yi’an’s eyes were full of pleading, making it hard for Lan Yan to ignore. She gripped her phone, her voice slightly dry: “Really… okay?” The sound of the fall had been very loud, especially with her added weight.

“Really, Sister can see for herself.” Su Yi’an leaned closer, lowering her head. It was a serious check for injuries, but Lan Yan felt uncomfortable due to the intensifying heat. The loose bathrobe, the water dripping from the ends of her long damp hair into the girl’s “unspeakable” places… Lan Yan’s eyes darted away, and she moved aside: “Go blow-dry your hair, fix your robe. We’re not going to the hospital.” Her voice was level, hiding any abnormality.

“Okay, Sister.” Su Yi’an felt frustrated that her Sister hadn’t been seduced. So many people had been captivated by her body, yet her Sister was unmoved. Did her Sister really only want to be close during “special periods”?

Su Yi’an pulled her robe tight in disappointment and went to get the hairdryer. She didn’t notice that Lan Yan’s face was becoming redder and redder, and she had even bitten her lip hard enough to leave a mark. To prevent the little Alpha from noticing her state, Lan Yan said she was going to wash up and hurried into her bedroom.

Only when she was in the bathroom with hot water rushing over her face did the flutter in her heart gradually fade. She really didn’t want to be the “greasy old woman” people talked about, but things were spiraling out of control.

The hairdryer was loud, so Su Yi’an didn’t hear Lan Yan’s words and didn’t use her mental energy. Thus, she didn’t know what she had missed. When she turned around and saw her Sister was no longer in the living room, her face turned pale for a second. Was I too obvious? Did I move too fast and scare her?
