The CEO Omega’s 'Soft Rice' Alpha - Chapter 52

Chapter 52

“It’s delicious.”

Su Yi’an’s smile was a bit forced as she took a few more grapes. Lan Yan watched her, lost in thought. She suspected the young Alpha was troubled by a memory rather than the fruit itself, but she didn’t pry.

As noon approached, they decided to have a quick lunch at home before setting off. Lan Yin proactively headed into the kitchen to cook. Since Lan Yin treated Su Yi’an as a guest, Su Yi’an couldn’t grab the apron this time.

While Lan Yin was busy, Lan Yan leaned in and whispered into Su Yi’an’s ear, “Follow me to the bedroom.”

She had forgotten to apply the medicine for the three-hour interval while packing, and she didn’t want to miss it. However, the request sounded suggestive. Su Yi’an felt her face heat up, her blush spreading from her ears to her neck. She checked on Lan Yin, then followed Lan Yan into the bedroom.

The application took only two minutes. They thought they were being quick, but as they stepped out, they ran right into Lan Yin, who was holding a spatula.

Lan Yin stared at them coming out of the bedroom together, her mouth slightly agape like a dazed rabbit. The air froze.

“The outside bathroom has no water,” Su Yi’an blurted out, her face red with embarrassment. “I took her to use the one inside,” Lan Yan added quickly.

Lan Yin blinked, her surprise fading. “Oh… I just wanted to ask if egg fried rice is okay for lunch?”

I see, Lan Yin thought. Little Aunt is just looking after a junior. But why is everything in this house breaking lately? First the fridge, now the plumbing… maybe I should ask Fourth Uncle to send a repairman. She dismissed the fleeting, wild thought that something might be going on between the two. After all, her aunt had “Rabbit Aunt” already.

After lunch, they prepared to leave. Su Yi’an noticed the car keys on the counter. She knew Lan Yan had been using the car she “gave” her recently. To avoid Lan Yin seeing her hand the keys to Lan Yan later, Su Yi’an handed them over now while Lan Yin was distracted.

Lan Yan hesitated. She felt strange taking the keys back, but it was practical. However, Su Yi’an added, “If it’s inconvenient for Sister to drive later, you can give them back to me.”

Lan Yan’s gaze lingered on the back of Su Yi’an’s head. “Are you fit to drive with that injury?”

“Don’t worry, Sister. I’m fine,” Su Yi’an smiled.

As they headed to the car, Su Yi’an took the initiative to carry Lan Yan’s suitcase. “Thank you, Student Su,” Lan Yan said. “You’re welcome,” Su Yi’an replied through gritted teeth. Why is she still calling me ‘Student Su’? To further the “cover story” and ensure she didn’t have to drive the long, winding road to Mt. Miao, Lan Yan feigned an injury. “I sprained my hand last night and can’t drive. If neither of you can, I’ll call a driver.”

“I can drive!” Su Yi’an volunteered immediately. Lan Yin was thrilled; she didn’t want a family driver monitoring their fun trip.

Su Yi’an loaded the luggage and took the driver’s seat. She expected Lan Yan to sit in the front passenger seat as before, but Lan Yan directed Lan Yin to sit in the front while she took the back seat. Su Yi’an felt a sting of disappointment, thinking her “Sister” was being overly distant to avoid suspicion.

However, Lan Yan noticed Su Yi’an’s stiff posture. As the car started moving, she leaned forward to give Lan Yin some motion sickness medicine, then settled back to rest.

Mid-journey, Lan Yan was jolted awake by her phone. It was Chen Zhi. “President Lan, I’ve landed. I hear Mt. Miao is a three-hour drive. Have you started? If you’re delayed by… certain people or things, it’s no problem. I’ll wait for you.”

Su Yi’an, hearing the “Movie Queen’s” voice over the car speakers, nearly swerved. She knew exactly who Chen Zhi meant by “certain people.” That woman is definitely talking about me, Su thought, gripping the steering wheel tighter.

“We’ll be there in two hours. I won’t be late,” Lan Yan replied, her voice husky from sleep.

On the other end, Chen Zhi’s eyes lit up. That voice sounds awfully… post-coital. Has the ‘Little Nun’ succeeded already? After the call ended, Lan Yin asked excitedly, “Was that Movie Queen Chen Zhi? Is she doing an endorsement for the company?” “Yes,” Lan Yan replied simply.

Lan Yan’s relaxed tone made Su Yi’an’s internal alarms go off. She remembered that many Omegas were obsessed with Chen Zhi. Does Sister like that two-faced woman too? Su wondered jealously.
