The Omega Who Canceled the Engagement Ended Up Falling for Me - Chapter 28

On Friday afternoon, Xu Qing took advantage of some idle time at work to attend an interview at a nearby construction company. Passing by the place where Fu Shuang worked, she sent a message asking her girlfriend if she was busy.

“It’s okay right now. I just finished seeing two interviewees, so I should be able to slack off for a bit. What’s up?” Fu Shuang replied, her fingers flying across the screen.

“I’m passing by your company and wanted to see you,” Xu Qing replied.

Fu Shuang cleared her throat and glanced left and right. Seeing that no one had noticed her slacking, she continued typing: “Where are you?”

Xu Qing took a photo and sent it to Fu Shuang. The location shown in the picture was exactly at the entrance of Fu Shuang’s internship company.

Fu Shuang stood up with a start, the sudden movement drawing the attention of those around her. She lowered her head with an apologetic expression, grabbed a few tissues, and pretended to head out to the restroom.

Then, she practically jogged toward where Xu Qing was waiting.

Fu Shuang’s company was a well-known real estate developer. Most of the office buildings in the surrounding area were assets owned by the firm, but the company only kept two floors for its own office use, renting out the rest.

In recent years, affected by the global economic crisis, the occupancy rate of office buildings had not been high. Xu Qing hadn’t encountered many people while heading upstairs, to the point she almost thought she had the wrong address.

While walking in the park yesterday, her girlfriend had mentioned things related to work. Xu Qing had asked about her company’s situation in passing and was quite surprised at the time—firstly, because her girlfriend’s company was one of the top-tier firms in the country, and secondly, she hadn’t expected her girlfriend to be working as an HR assistant.

Xu Qing had worried that with her girlfriend’s “fighting-the-world” personality, she might accidentally scold some humble job seeker into a state of social withdrawal.

Seeing Fu Shuang emerge from the office wearing a small suit, Xu Qing couldn’t help but look at her with new eyes. She spoke up in praise: “Heavens, you are so beautiful.”

Fu Shuang pursed her lips, looking at her while wearing exquisite makeup. Suppressing a smile, she said, “We just saw each other this morning, what’s gotten into you?” Her mouth was as sweet as a blooming flower.

“I’m learning how to get along with a lover. The AI suggested I should praise my partner more,” Xu Qing raised an eyebrow somewhat boastfully, while simultaneously bringing out the coffee she had brought. “Supposedly, if you finish drinking coffee before three in the afternoon, the caffeine will be metabolized by ten at night, so it won’t affect your sleep.”

Reasonable, evidence-based, and sickeningly sweet.

Fu Shuang took the coffee, leaned into the lid to take a sniff, and said in surprise, “It’s the mocha flavor I like! Sister, you understand me so well! Why did you buy two cups?”

Xu Qing smiled. “Bringing only one cup back to your desk wouldn’t look good if your colleagues saw, right? Give the other one to your manager. Didn’t you say she treats you quite well?”

Even such minute details had been considered for her. Fu Shuang felt deeply touched, momentarily wondering if she had found a girlfriend or a mother—she was simply too considerate.

“True, it is very appropriate to treat the manager.” Fu Shuang took the coffee, holding the paper bag with both hands as it hung in front of her knees, desperately wanting to give Xu Qing a kiss as a gesture of appreciation.

That well-behaved yet eager look was captured by Xu Qing’s eyes. Xu Qing even saw her hesitate and stand on her tiptoes for a moment; the bow on her platform shoes creased slightly, like a pinkish-blue butterfly flapping its wings before tremblingly settling back down.

Fu Shuang’s grip on the paper bag tightened as she looked around, terrified of being seen, which caused a flush of crimson to rise on her cheeks.

She’s so damn cute.

If they weren’t at the company entrance, Xu Qing would have wanted to pin her against the wall and kiss her wildly until she was red-faced and breathless!

Xu Qing swallowed hard, reached out to gently rub Fu Shuang’s head, and said warmly, “Go on and get busy, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Fu Shuang let out a red-faced “Mm,” sounding so delicate she almost seemed ready to cry.

Xu Qing: “…”

After leaving Fu Shuang’s company and blowing in the cold autumn wind for a while, Xu Qing still hadn’t recovered from that single “Mm.”

She savored it in the elevator, savored it on the road, and even thought of that soft, tender “Mm” while applying for the job.

Xu Qing had always been a self-disciplined, polite, and law-abiding person, but in that moment just now, many “filthy” thoughts had cropped up in her mind, shocking even herself.

It was as if there was another dark personality locked deep within her heart—a personality that couldn’t wait to possess that delicate and pitiful Omega, to mark her gland as her own, to wantonly extract pheromones from her body, and to listen to her gasps, each one more tender than the last.

This thought lingered in Xu Qing’s mind for a long time. When the HR person asked why she wanted to change jobs, what was going through Xu Qing’s head was: Change to a job that pays more, earn money for my girlfriend to spend, see her happy when she receives red envelopes, and make her incomparably joyful when she’s being intimate in my arms.

While her thoughts were wandering miles away, Xu Qing’s speech remained meticulous, making even the HR representative nod repeatedly in agreement.

No one in her unit knew she was looking for a job. This kind of thing had to be kept secret, especially from Director Li next door—that old witch was practically an eye planted next to her by Ms. Min.

Xu Qing didn’t dare imagine it; if Ms. Min knew she was abandoning a stable and promising position to work at a private enterprise with an uncertain future, she would likely be so angry she’d lose her life.

After the interview, Xu Qing returned to her unit like a thief and wrote a report assigned by her superior. After being idle for only a few minutes, that locked-away personality of hers emerged once again to occupy her thoughts.

Undoubtedly, she had contracted a sickness—missing her little girlfriend terribly after being away for only a short while.

Xu Qing checked her phone messages every so often. She had specifically pinned her girlfriend’s chat to the top so that she could see that cute cat avatar at first glance every time she peeked at her notifications.

Even though their chat history was sparse and could be scrolled to the beginning in just a page or two, Xu Qing had read those contents so many times she could memorize them; she was constantly looking forward to new developments.

Nearing the end of the workday, the “cat avatar” finally lit up with a red dot. The Omega girlfriend had taken the initiative to send a message: “The coffee was delicious ”

Immediately following was an emoji of a cat blowing a heart, so cute that Xu Qing almost projected the cat as her sparkling girlfriend.

Xu Qing held the phone and watched silently for a few seconds before replying: “Be careful of not being able to sleep tonight.”

Fu Shuang replied instantly: “Not afraid at all!”

Her messages came in bursts, saying whatever came to mind. Before Xu Qing could even reply, Fu Shuang sent several messages in a row:

“I’ve never had insomnia!”

“Of course,”

“If Sister can’t sleep, you can come find me in the middle of the night.”

“I even have a sleep-aid function”

Looking at these sentences, Xu Qing felt the blood rushing through her body. She didn’t just want to go find her to sleep; she wanted to make her unable to sleep at night!

What reply would make her seem less lecherous?

Xu Qing watched the cursor blink in the input box, hesitating for a long time. Before she could make a reply, she saw the top of the chat box change to “The other party is typing…”

Xu Qing: “!”

The girlfriend had already been proactive to this extent; if Xu Qing remained timid, what kind of Alpha would she be?

With a trembling hand, she replied: “Okay.”

This time, it was Fu Shuang’s side that didn’t reply for a long time.

What did “Okay” mean?

Did it mean the end of the conversation? Or did it mean… she really would come to find Fu Shuang in the middle of the night?

Fu Shuang felt like her maneuvers were a bit like digging a hole and burying herself.

She wasn’t a hypocritical person. Since she had physiological needs, she would frankly satisfy them. They were both fragrant girls; a little cuddling wouldn’t hurt. Even a temporary marking wouldn’t go wrong—as long as she didn’t get pregnant, anything was fine.

Fu Shuang took a break from work to look up guides on her phone, reading Omega netizens sharing their experiences of their first marking. Someone described it: “It’s like opening a box of chocolate; the texture and flavor might vary, but overall it is extremely delicious.”

Someone else said: “The moment I was marked, I only had one thought in my head: I want to have his baby, even though I’m a man.”

Fu Shuang found it strange; could it be that having a baby was also a type of sexual impulse?

At six in the evening, most people in the company were still working overtime. Fu Shuang sneakily packed her things, ready to slip away at any moment.

The manager approached her at that moment. “Can you come in for overtime tomorrow?”

Fu Shuang had a piano lesson tomorrow afternoon. If she were truly giving her all to secure a permanent position from her internship, she might have canceled the piano lesson to come to the company for overtime. But she suddenly felt a bit lost—was this job really worth her giving her absolute all?

In truth, it was just an ordinary job that anyone could do well. Because she was an Omega, being hired was like striking gold, which was why she was expected to work even harder.

Fu Shuang thought about it and replied, “I’m free before two tomorrow afternoon. If I work overtime, I can only put in four or five hours.”

The manager gave a kind smile. “That’s enough. Once you finish the morning’s work tomorrow, you can leave in the afternoon.”

Fu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright then, I’ll come to help tomorrow morning. If there’s nothing else today, I’ll head back first.”

“Go on,” the manager patted her shoulder, gesturing with the coffee paper cup. “Thank your girlfriend for me.”

Fu Shuang lowered her head shyly. She hadn’t expected such a mundane tactic as treating someone to coffee would be so effective in pleasing a superior.

She really liked this Alpha girlfriend of hers more than words could say.

The chat history had stopped at that ambiguous “Okay” from the Alpha. Fu Shuang sent a message to turn the page: “I’m off work!”

The other party replied quickly: “I’m downstairs at your company.”

Fu Shuang sent a cat-heart emoji, took her bag, clocked out, and jogged to the hallway to wait for the elevator.

Xu Qing’s motorcycle was very eye-catching. Young people passing by couldn’t help but look at her, and there was even a guy filming a short video who was trying to strike up a conversation with her.

The man had delicate features, a chin pointier than a girl’s, and was wearing makeup. He looked like those influencers one often swiped past on short video platforms. Holding a stabilizer with his phone attached, he was filming Xu Qing vigorously, saying with a flirtatious smile, “Sister, your bike is so cool, and you’re even cooler. Can I take a photo with you?”

Seeing Fu Shuang emerge from the office building, Xu Qing had no interest in dealing with this male influencer. She stood up and said, “My girlfriend is off work. She’ll get jealous if she sees this.”

The influencer said unhappily, “It’s just a photo. Sister, is your girlfriend very pretty?”

From a distance, Fu Shuang heard this man calling out “Sister, Sister.” Her brows knit together in a frown, but seeing her Alpha girlfriend looking impatient, Fu Shuang didn’t bother to settle scores.

“I have ten million followers across all platforms,” the influencer said with a smile. “Sister, just do me a favor, okay?”

Xu Qing handed the helmet to Fu Shuang, not bothering to spare him another glance, and helped Fu Shuang onto the back seat of the motorcycle.

Xu Qing started the engine, the roar of the motor making the influencer instinctively take a few steps back.

Fu Shuang wrapped her arms around Xu Qing’s waist on the back seat, gave a triumphant smile toward the influencer’s camera, and stuck out her tongue in a cheeky grimace.
