The Five Heartless Scumbag Alphas Turned Against Each Other Because Of Me - Chapter 68

In that instant, Tan Hua’s heart clenched violently. She instinctively turned her head to the side, narrowly avoiding the woman’s soft, yet aggressive, lips.

Lu Huaixu appeared cold, composed, and aloof—but her lips were surprisingly soft and burning hot.

Tan Hua could still feel the residual heat at the corner of her lips, spiking within seconds.

Her sudden evasiveness brought a flicker of dissatisfaction to Lu Huaixu’s expression. The woman pushed herself up slightly, her eyes as deep and bottomless as an ancient well, laced with an emotion that sent shivers down Tan Hua’s spine.
“What are you hiding from?”

Lu Huaixu tightened her arms around her, using one hand to pin down Tan Hua’s restless wrists, pulling them firmly behind her back.

Tan Hua, now helpless like a weak little chick, almost screamed in frustration. Why wouldn’t I dodge?!

In this utterly absurd world with its chaotic, hormone-driven setting—who knew? One kiss today and she could end up pregnant tomorrow!

Tan Hua struggled again, unwilling to yield, but Lu Huaixu only held her tighter. She remained trapped on Lu Huaixu’s lap, their bodies now almost completely pressed together without a single gap.

Her warmth, her scent, her potent pheromones—everything about Lu Huaixu was enough to lure Tan Hua into a fevered daze.

Tan Hua’s mouth was dry, her heart racing like it was fueled by adrenaline. She wet her lips, then carefully said,
“President Lu, maybe you should… calm down a little?”

She turned to face Lu Huaixu directly, looking into those deep, unreadable eyes.
“I think you’re being a little impulsive right now, don’t you?”

In the name of protecting her chastity, Tan Hua tried to stall with reason, her tone as sincere and diplomatic as possible.
“Yes, I like you. I’m not denying that. But liking someone doesn’t have to be proven through kissing or… physical intimacy.”

“Liking someone can mean caring for them, listening to them, being obedient—or it can mean quietly watching from afar. As long as you’re happy and doing well, that’s enough for me.”

No need to dive headfirst into this dangerous gray zone, right?

Tan Hua looked at her with hopeful eyes, silently begging Lu Huaixu to take even a shred of that logic to heart.

To her surprise, Lu Huaixu laughed. It wasn’t clear whether she was pleased or simply amused, but her previously tense features relaxed, her deep eyes and fair face softening with a quiet smile.

Tan Hua couldn’t help but smile along—but before the curve of her lips could settle, Lu Huaixu’s smile disappeared, clean and sudden.

The woman stared at her with an unreadable expression, lips curved in a mocking smirk.
“Do you believe the things you’re saying?”

“Of course I do,” Tan Hua replied, keeping her tone as innocent and sincere as she could manage. “Why wouldn’t I? Every word came from the bottom of my heart—ah!”

Before she could finish, her vision suddenly blurred. A sense of weightlessness overtook her, and she instinctively let out a startled cry. The next thing she felt was her back pressing into the soft cushions of the couch.

A shadow loomed over her—Lu Huaixu, cold and silent, came down on her without warning.

Tan Hua’s scream cut off abruptly. The half-breath she had just drawn froze in her throat. Her eyes widened in shock.

Her lips felt a touch both cool and soft.

She had just been kissed. Forcefully.

The initial shock only lasted a moment—then Tan Hua began to struggle violently. But Lu Huaixu, with her years of training and physical strength, was far too strong for her. Tan Hua was completely pinned down, unable to move.

It felt like a taut string in her mind had suddenly snapped. She flailed her legs in the air, but Lu Huaixu caught them with her warm hands and held them in place.

In the end, Tan Hua had no choice but to summon the only help she could think of.

“System… what do I do?” she whimpered, weak and helpless.

System: …How the hell should I know?!

The system was on the verge of a breakdown. Why’d you go and seduce Lu Huaixu in the first place?!

Now look what you’ve done. Good luck getting yourself out of her clutches now, the system thought, metaphorically glaring at her with righteous fury.

At first, the Omega behaved obediently—but it didn’t last long. She soon began to struggle again. After being restrained once more, she quieted down—but it was clear her thoughts had wandered somewhere else.

Lu Huaixu suddenly bit her lip lightly, drawing a soft yelp from Tan Hua.

That sharp little sting immediately brought Tan Hua’s attention back. She glared at Lu Huaixu, who was smirking slightly, as if she’d just done something utterly innocent. Tan Hua looked like she wanted to bite her in retaliation.

“Who were you thinking about?” Lu Huaixu asked, her smile faint as she gazed at Tan Hua’s flushed face. “Zheng Jinyu?”

“At a moment like this, you’re still hoping she’ll show up and save you?” Lu Huaixu’s tone was lazy, but her eyes flashed with a meaning Tan Hua couldn’t quite read.
“I figured you’d pin your hopes on her. So I made arrangements in advance—had someone take her away before I came.”

Lu Huaixu continued slowly, “She’s probably busy drinking with some other Omega right now—entertaining, socializing. You’re not even on her radar.”

Tan Hua’s eyes widened, eyebrows knitting in disbelief. She planned this out ahead of time?!

She kicked off her shoes and jabbed Lu Huaixu’s calf with her foot—not hard, but pointed. Lu Huaixu only gave her an indifferent glance, then looked away. She even had the audacity to say,
“Come on, is that all you’ve got? Didn’t eat today?”

Tan Hua: “……” [Grandpa on the subway looking at his phone.jpeg]

She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again, choosing silence. Honestly, she had a sneaking suspicion: the more she reacted, the more Lu Huaixu seemed to enjoy it.

So she gave up—completely. She went full limp-fish and let Lu Huaixu do whatever she wanted.

“Doesn’t matter.” Tan Hua lay flat, expressionless. “Let Zheng Jinyu come or not—I don’t care.”

She raised an eyebrow at Lu Huaixu with a provocative grin. “I just don’t believe you can keep playing this aloof, domineering act forever.” She started analyzing rationally:
“You don’t have feelings for me. Not even a crush. So drop the whole ‘forceful CEO seduction’ thing, will you?”

“You’re just testing yourself—wondering if being physically close to me will trigger anything inside you.”

Tan Hua smiled with a hint of mockery as she watched Lu Huaixu’s expression begin to cool.
“So tell me, President Lu—did you feel anything just now?”

Lu Huaixu stared at her without blinking.

Tan Hua suddenly grinned brightly, like she’d struck gold. “Wait… seriously?” She blinked in exaggerated surprise.
“You kissed me and felt nothing? President Lu, are you sure you’re not—underperforming, maybe?”

She didn’t get to finish that last jab.

The rest of her teasing words were swallowed whole—literally—by Lu Huaixu, who shut her up in the most direct and furious way.

Tan Hua let out muffled noises, unable to form a complete sentence. Only fragments of breathy sound escaped from the corners of her mouth.

Lu Huaixu attacked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on—furious and relentless. She wasn’t gentle, nor was she pretending to be. There was no softness in the way she punished the Omega beneath her.

The smile in Tan Hua’s eyes only deepened—until it stung Lu Huaixu like a blade.

Suddenly, Lu Huaixu pulled away and sat up straight, letting go of the Omega she had forcefully held down just moments before.

Back in her proper posture, Lu Huaixu looked every bit the composed, upright professional—a model citizen, even.

Tan Hua was slightly out of breath. She lay sprawled on the sofa, long dark hair cascading around her like ink, her pale and delicate beauty strikingly ethereal.

She chuckled softly, her voice slightly hoarse,
“Why’d you stop?”

Propping herself up slowly, her lips—still swollen and glistening from the intensity—looked sinfully seductive.

She leaned in closer to Lu Huaixu, her slender fingers gently wrapping around her arm, like a soft, silken snake sliding into position.
“Did you get turned on?”

Lu Huaixu gave her a cold glance and reached out to push her away.

But Tan Hua was quick to snake her way back, clinging again, smile sweet and voice soft as silk.
“President Lu, maybe you should kiss a few more women.”

“Then you’ll know whether you only react to me—or if you’re like this with anyone.”

Her words were laced with irony, a taunting edge under the sweetness.

Lu Huaixu took a deep breath, calming the storm in her chest. She peeled Tan Hua’s smooth hands off her once more.

“No need.” Her voice was husky, magnetic.
“That’s none of your concern.”

Just as Lu Huaixu was about to turn and leave, Tan Hua suddenly grabbed her wrist and yanked her back.

Lu Huaixu turned around, startled. It was hard to believe someone as delicate-looking as Tan Hua—a soft and slender Omega—could exert such force.

“Why are you leaving so soon?” Tan Hua looked puzzled. “You only just got here.”

“Besides,” she added pointedly, “we haven’t even done anything yet—”

Before she could finish, Lu Huaixu had already shaken off her grip and stepped away, deliberately widening the distance between them as if contact was something to be avoided at all costs.

“That’s enough.” Lu Huaixu looked down at the Omega whose long hair was slightly tousled and clothes faintly disheveled. Her gaze was cold, detached.
“Just focus on doing the job you’re supposed to do.”

The message was clear: Mind your own business and don’t pry into mine.

Tan Hua lifted her chin slightly and looked at her for a moment before laughing softly.

She didn’t say a word, but the look she gave Lu Huaixu spoke volumes—amusement, knowingness, maybe even a hint of mockery.

Lu Huaixu’s temples throbbed. A rare and unfamiliar feeling crept into her chest—vague, indefinable, maybe even something close to guilt. It unsettled her enough to make her want to turn and walk away.

The truth was, she had never intended to cross any real lines with Tan Hua. But after the earlier interaction, her body’s instinctive reaction had made one thing very clear: she needed to keep her distance.

Tan Hua was the type of Omega who could easily catch her off guard—too clever, too unpredictable. If she wasn’t careful, one day she’d end up walking into her own trap.

Lu Huaixu had only come to see Tan Hua today because she wanted to test herself—to see whether she could only feel something for Cheng Yuan, or if someone else could stir her heart too. She hadn’t planned to let herself get dragged any deeper.

Some trouble just wasn’t worth the cost.

And now, fully cooled down, Lu Huaixu realized how rash her earlier actions had been. This was not how things were supposed to go.

She had only intended to check in—to see whether the Omega was emotionally affected by the rumors and gossip, whether that emotional state would hinder the progress of the assignment she’d entrusted her with. That was it.

There were no other intentions. No plans for intimacy. No hidden agendas.

As for Zheng Jinyu… yes, Lu Huaixu had arranged for someone to take her away in advance. But that was simply to prevent her from stumbling in and misinterpreting the situation.

Lu Huaixu was aware of Zheng Jinyu and Tan Hua’s past connection. But Zheng Jinyu likely didn’t know about what was going on between herself and Tan Hua now.

If she had seen them together—especially like this—the misunderstanding could have been catastrophic. Years of friendship could shatter over a single Omega. That kind of drama was the last thing Lu Huaixu wanted to deal with right now.

Tan Hua, meanwhile, sat quietly, but her gaze burned like fire. Lu Huaixu suddenly snapped out of her thoughts, her expression turning even colder.

“Get some rest. I’m leaving.” Her voice was short and distant.

With that, she turned toward the door.

Tan Hua didn’t stop her. She just smiled and softly said, “President Lu.”

The moment Lu Huaixu heard her name, she paused at the doorway and glanced back.

Then, Tan Hua dropped the bomb.
“I really like kissing you.”

Lu Huaixu froze. Her expression went stiff—and in the very next second, she spun around and bolted for the door, practically fleeing without a backward glance.

Tan Hua stared at the tightly shut door and smiled like a fox who’d just eaten her fill. She sprawled back onto the couch, licked her lips, and murmured to herself,
“What a day… Who knew a pie could fall straight from the sky and land in my lap?”

System: “……”

Seeing its host growing more and more smug, the system finally couldn’t hold back.
“Host, now that things have gone this far with Lu Huaixu… what exactly is your plan from here?”

“Like this? What do you mean ‘like this’?” Tan Hua looked over lightly. “We didn’t even do anything. What could I possibly plan to do? If I don’t say anything, and she doesn’t say anything, it’s not like a third person is going to magically find out.”

“Besides, she was the one who forced herself on me—it’s not like I threw myself at her.” As she spoke, a delayed realization hit her.
“Wait… is this the part where I’m supposed to break down in tears and cry, ‘I’m ruined, I’m not pure anymore,’ then start throwing a tantrum, threatening to hang myself unless Lu Huaixu takes responsibility for me?”

System: …Yeah, let’s not do that.

If the host actually went to ask Lu Huaixu to take responsibility, the system thought darkly, this wouldn’t end with just a kiss today. Sensing danger, the system wisely kept quiet.

Lu Huaixu pushed her way through the bar’s noisy crowd, intending to leave right away. But just as she reached the entrance, she stopped in her tracks, turned around, and headed back inside.

She found a seat in a quiet corner and sat alone, ordering a few drinks and sipping them in silence.

Several people noticed her striking looks and commanding aura and tried to start conversations—but her cold, detached gaze instantly sent them retreating.

After enough failed attempts, everyone around got the message: she wasn’t someone you could casually approach.

After all, an Alpha with looks like hers was usually just here to drink away frustration. If you messed with her and made her snap, you might not even know what hit you.

Of course, there were still a few with wild ambitions, hoping to use a one-night stand to climb their way up in life.

But the moment Lu Huaixu released a faint trace of her pheromones, those people backed off immediately, faces paling.

Top-tier pheromones meant top-tier genetics—which usually meant high status and serious power.

Someone like that hated people who couldn’t read the room.

Once all the hopeful suitors gave up, Lu Huaixu sat quietly with her glass in hand, eyes blankly fixed on the distance.

Her mind, usually sharp and always calculating, had finally gone quiet. For once, she wasn’t thinking about anything—and oddly, it didn’t feel uncomfortable. It felt… peaceful.

Maybe it was the dim lighting and loud background noise. It made her feel hidden, lost in the crowd but safely tucked away. Her constantly tight nerves began to relax.

But the calm didn’t last long.

As soon as she remembered Tan Hua’s sharp words from earlier—how the girl had pierced right through her act—Lu Huaixu’s mood took a steep dive.

Tan Hua had already changed into her pajamas and was ready to sleep when the system suddenly chimed in:

“Host, did you know Lu Huaixu hasn’t left yet?”

She froze mid-step.

“She hasn’t?” Tan Hua blinked, then asked with interest, “Where is she now?”

“Outside?”

“Nope,” the system replied. “She’s at the bar. Drinking. Alone.”

Now this was getting interesting.

Tan Hua immediately pulled the elastic out of her hair, let it fall loose, and grinned.
“She’s out there drinking alone when I’m right here? That’s not very considerate of her.”

“If she’s upset, she should come talk to me about it. At least I’d get a laugh out of it.”

The system stayed silent. Maybe she knew you’d laugh at her, which is exactly why she didn’t come to you.

“Let’s go find her.” Tan Hua grabbed her key card, slipped on her shoes, and headed out without hesitation.
“I’m the host tonight. No way I’m letting her drink alone like that.”

You’re not the bar owner… the system thought helplessly. But seeing her already darting out the door and scanning the room with subtle precision, it decided not to argue.

The bar was packed with bodies and lights. It took Tan Hua quite some effort to find the one figure who sat alone—unmoved by the chaos, radiating the untouchable aura of a goddess among mortals.

She smiled brightly and walked over.

“President Lu.”

“Why are you drinking all by yourself?”

Lu Huaixu looked up instinctively at the familiar voice. Her dazed eyes instantly focused when they landed on Tan Hua.

Why is she here?

Lu Huaixu immediately stood up, clearly intending to leave—but a soft, pale hand blocked her way.

Looking down, she met Tan Hua’s playful, sparkling gaze.
“You’re leaving just as I get here?”

“Do you dislike me that much?”

Tan Hua’s face looked innocent, her voice puzzled—but the teasing glint in her eyes gave her away.

Lu Huaixu’s expression didn’t change. Her tone was flat:
“Move. While I’m still in a good mood.”

She sounded like a cornered animal about to bite. Tan Hua’s smile deepened.

Instead of stepping aside, she moved even closer, pressing forward until she had Lu Huaixu backed into the corner.

Then she leaned in, her voice dropping to a whisper near Lu Huaixu’s ear:
“No.”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to figure out how you really feel?” she whispered temptingly.
“In a crowd of strangers lost in indulgence, hidden away in this dark corner… it’s just you and me.”

Her fingers slowly slid along Lu Huaixu’s waist, wrapping around her like silk.

“Isn’t this the perfect place to find out?”

Tan Hua: If we’re going to play with fire, might as well go all in.
System: Woman… you’re literally playing with fire (x)
