The Omega Who Canceled the Engagement Ended Up Falling for Me - Chapter 34

It was like seeing a ghost—how could someone just pop out from the stairwell?

The fat supervisor cursed under his breath. Seeing his companion slink away and abandon him to escape, he stomped his feet in a fit of rage.

Looking at the girl slowly walking up from the stairwell, the fat man forced an awkward smile. His usual slick-tongued demeanor vanished instantly, and he stammered, “Little Fu… no, Little Shuang, what are you doing here?”

Fu Shuang spoke coldly, “That recording just now constitutes evidence of a crime in a legal sense. If I give it to the company executives, the next step would be the mandatory termination of your labor contract. If I post it on the internet, it would be quite explosive. Manager Zhou, your good days are coming to an end.”

She stood on the step below him, her slender figure appearing taller than the pudgy Beta man. Catching a glimpse of his testing gaze, Fu Shuang spread her arms openly and smiled, “Thinking of snatching my phone? You’re a step too late. I’ve saved it to the cloud and backed it up in several places.”

Manager Zhou slapped his fleshy face and hissed through gritted teeth, “Little Shuang, one shouldn’t be so heartless in how they handle things…”

Fu Shuang smiled. “You’re right, I didn’t want to be this heartless. You are Sister Ning’s superior; I respected you quite a lot.” She emphasized the word “respected” heavily, making it impossible for Old Zhou to tell if she was being sincere or sarcastic.

“I… I didn’t plan on doing anything. You heard it just now, I didn’t plan on agreeing to that guy’s rotten idea…” Manager Zhou wiped the sweat from his face. Despite the cold weather, he was drenched. If he lost his job because an intern stirred up this much trouble, it would be a devastating loss!

An intern’s job didn’t matter—they were just cheap labor earning a hundred bucks a day—but “a person with nothing to lose doesn’t fear someone with shoes on.” If she could pull down a HR manager of a large company, even a “one-for-one” trade wouldn’t be a loss; it would be a massive profit.

Recalling that bastard’s words egging him on, Manager Zhou’s heart filled with regret. He pleaded in a low, weak voice, “Little Shuang, I’m truly sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. Can you forgive me? As long as you don’t breathe a word of this, we’ll live in peace from now on. I won’t dare target you again. I’ll meet whatever conditions you have… at middle age, finding a job is really not easy…”

Seeing him being sensible, Fu Shuang’s face immediately shifted into a chilling smile. Staring at the fat on his face, she said unhurriedly, “You’re right. I quite agree.”

Manager Zhou breathed a shallow sigh of relief and continued his pleasant-toned persuasion.

Fu Shuang was also very straightforward, agreeing with a beam, “It was originally my honor to work with Manager Zhou. Thanks to you, I’ve learned a lot during this time. If we can continue to get along in the future, it won’t be a bad thing for me. However…”

She paused for dramatic effect. Old Zhou’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, No way, is she going to open her mouth for a lion’s share?

“A few days ago, when I was delivering documents to the payroll department, I couldn’t help but take a peek. Manager, your monthly income is more than half of our entire department combined, isn’t it?”

Old Zhou was speechless. He rubbed his head, not knowing whether to laugh or not.

To Fu Shuang, he looked like a piece of dripping fat; plucking just a bit would be enough to sustain her for six months. Her gaze was very “warm,” so warm that Old Zhou shivered. Sure enough, she said: “I’ve been very short on money lately. Since the Manager cares so much about his subordinates, how about sharing some with me?”

Old Zhou swallowed. “How much do you want?”

Fu Shuang held up one hand, her five fingers turning in a pretty flourish. “This much.”

“Five thousand?”

“Fifty thousand.” The girl smiled calmly. “I want it in my account in one lump sum before this Friday. Otherwise, take a guess as to who the first person to hear this recording will be?”

With just one look, Old Zhou understood. He said hurriedly, “Don’t! Don’t give it to Little Ning, I beg you!”

Fu Shuang tapped her phone screen, silently urging him to transfer the money as soon as possible. She then brushed past him, pushed open the heavy fire door, and returned to the company floor.

Old Zhou never dreamed he would be extorted by an intern. He consulted several lawyers, and the advice given was to keep evidence and ensure the other party deleted the recording after receiving the money.

Fifty thousand yuan! How could he just give it away?

During work in the afternoon, Old Zhou noticed that the interactions between Little Ning and Little Shuang were even closer than usual. Every time that seemingly harmless Omega cast a glance his way, it scared Old Zhou half to death.

When it was time to clock out, Fu Shuang left earlier than anyone and even took the initiative to say goodbye to the manager. This startled the people nearby, making them think Old Zhou had shifted his affections and started giving the intern special treatment.

After work, she pulled on her sweater and coat, covering her face completely and leaving only her round, hazel eyes visible. She hid in the elevator, not daring to breathe loudly.

With a ding, a notification popped up on her phone: “You have received a transfer of 25,000 yuan.” Before she could hide her phone or mute it, she heard several “wow” sounds. Everyone in the elevator turned to look at her in unison, their eyes practically tearing up with envy.

Fu Shuang: “…”

Left with no choice, Fu Shuang lowered her head and pretended nothing had happened, checking the message.

Zhou-HR Manager sent her: “The other half will be transferred once you delete the recording.”

Fu Shuang took the money but didn’t reply, her heart blooming with joy—turns out, extortion is the way to make money.

When Xu Qing saw her coming out of the office building, she was jogging slightly, walking with a breeze and a radiant face. Xu Qing immediately felt something was up.

“Did you strike it rich?” She pulled the girl into her arms and gave her a greeting kiss on her exposed forehead.

Fu Shuang was busy checking if there were any acquaintances around. She pulled her hood tighter to hide herself and recklessly thrust her hands under Xu Qing’s clothes, saying cheerfully, “Bingo! You guessed right.”

Xu Qing’s dark, bright eyes blinked. “Really struck it rich? Is there anything in it for me?”

Fu Shuang beckoned for Xu Qing to lean in. Seeing her lower her head obediently like a big dog to listen, Fu Shuang suddenly felt mischievous and blew a breath of air into her ear.

Xu Qing was very ticklish. Stimulated by the puff of hot air, her sensitive nerves twitched, and her ear shuddered. The reaction was just like a cute big dog shaking its head.

Fu Shuang used to have a black-and-white Border Collie. In winter, it would grow a thick coat of fur. It was agile and loved to run; whenever she called, it would dash over happily. Its head shape was perfect, its amber-yellow eyes shone brightly, and the cutest part was its triangular ears—the fur there was the finest and softest, and if she reached out to touch them, they would flatten down—

Sometimes, Xu Qing acted just like a docile, cute big dog. She looked gorgeous and noble on the outside, maintaining a “keep away” vibe, but her heart was warm and soft, as if she wouldn’t get angry no matter how much you teased her.

This association made Fu Shuang burst out laughing. Xu Qing realized what was happening, but she wasn’t the playful type, so how could she take offense at a “child’s” antics? She turned serious, squinted her eyes, resumed her cold expression, and put on her helmet, looking impenetrable.

Fu Shuang just found it amusing. Having come into a sum of money today, she was in an exceptionally good mood and didn’t need a reason to tease. She tapped on Xu Qing’s helmet. Seeing that she was being ignored, Fu Shuang put on her own helmet and nudged Xu Qing with it like she was playing bumper cars.

Xu Qing: “…You.”

Fu Shuang blinked, making a pure and innocent expression. “What?”

Xu Qing: “Forget it.”

Too childish. She couldn’t be bothered to argue. After all, with the age gap between them, she had to give in to the “kid.”

The “kid” skillfully climbed onto the bike. Her hands and chest pressed against Xu Qing simultaneously as she hugged her tight. If the helmets hadn’t taken up so much space, she probably would have stuck to Xu Qing like a plaster.

“Where to, Princess?” Xu Qing’s tone carried the vibe of a knight happy to be of service.

Fu Shuang could hear it and wasn’t polite at all. “I want to go buy clothes today.”

Letting her continue to wear that ugly sweater felt as uncomfortable as defecating in the middle of the street.

She gave a location and navigated for Xu Qing from the back seat. They arrived at their destination in about ten minutes.

In the past, Fu Shuang wouldn’t even blink when buying clothes in a mall; someone would always be following her to pay. However, as an Omega, she used to have to prepare a lot of things before heading to a busy mall—basic suppressants, sedatives, emergency medicine for fainting, and the accompaniment of an adult Beta. Every time she tried on clothes, several people would be waiting outside. For her, the experience wasn’t great; it was too much trouble. Therefore, most of the time, merchants would bring custom designs to her home for her to try on. Price was never a consideration. She was in her twenties and had attended university, yet she had no complete concept of value regarding the price of daily clothing.

When Xu Qing saw her foolishly heading to the counter with a sweater costing several thousand yuan, she grabbed her in a panic.

“…Is it not pretty?” Fu Shuang’s demands for aesthetics topped everything else.

“It’s pretty, but it’s not worth it,” Xu Qing said, feeling the “pain” in her wallet. “How much do you earn a month? Isn’t three thousand for a sweater too expensive?”

Doubt flashed across Fu Shuang’s ignorant face, and she immediately said, “Is it too expensive? I just thought…!”

Xu Qing didn’t quite understand. She took the fabric and explained in detail: “This is a wool and mohair blend. Neither of those is a particularly expensive material. Plus, the synthetic content is high, and the machine-knit holes are very coarse. Other than looking good, it has almost no merits. It’s not worth this price at all.”

She wanted to look up more information to further dig into the issues of this women’s clothing brand. After all, convincing a girlfriend is no easy task—just like convincing her to change into her own sweater this morning, it greatly tested Xu Qing’s persuasion skills and inner resolve.

But this time was different from the morning. Fu Shuang quickly accepted Xu Qing’s suggestion. She dropped the sweater and said in agreement, “I won’t buy it. Let’s go.”

The attentive salesclerk’s face instantly changed. Her smile froze as she tried to stall them: “Miss, why don’t you try it again? You really look beautiful in this!”

“Beauty” had lost its attraction. Although Fu Shuang had obtained a sum of money effortlessly today, she couldn’t just waste it for nothing.

Fu Shuang ignored the clerk’s attempts to keep them. As she turned around, she heard the clerk mutter in a voice that wasn’t particularly low: “Alphas these days are so incompetent! So stingy, they won’t even buy their girlfriend something she likes!”

Fu Shuang turned back and asked, “What did you say?”

The clerk stopped pretending to be nice altogether. This kind of store didn’t rely on volume to make money; their main strategy was to catch a “fat sheep” and slaughter them. The profit from one or two orders was enough to cover a week’s costs. Therefore, she had no good face for non-potential customers. Hearing Fu Shuang’s question, the young female clerk unhurriedly straightened the clothes and said gloomily: “I said, you’re so young and beautiful, why find a pauper for a girlfriend? She won’t even buy you a single piece of clothing. In the future, for makeup or perfume, when will she ever be willing to spend money on you?”

“While you’re still young, open your eyes. Don’t waste your time on a pauper like this!”

Fu Shuang opened her mouth. Faced with this mockery from a fellow woman, she was stunned for a moment. With her short temper, she almost wanted to slap her.

It was fine to say she couldn’t afford the clothes, but you couldn’t call the person she liked a pauper!

This was too much!

Xu Qing wasn’t bothered at all. Seeing her girlfriend’s face turning red with rage and about to explode, she quickly pulled her back. She began to spout nonsense: “Alright, alright, baby, don’t mind her. People work hard all day smiling to sell clothes and make a bit of money; it’s not easy. Unlike me—though I’m a pauper, I’m an Alpha with hands and feet, yet I can only lie flat at home and wait to spend my wife’s money. Not only do I have no ability to earn money, but I also have to nitpick my wife’s clothes shopping. A person like me is truly annoying. It’s okay, wifey, I don’t care what others say about me, as long as you still love me. Come, give me a kiss. After we finish looking at clothes, will you buy me a little car?”

Fu Shuang: “…”

Clerk: “…”

Fu Shuang’s anger was like the great fire of the Flaming Mountains being extinguished by a single fan of the Banana Leaf. Not only that, she was so amused by Xu Qing’s improper remarks that her whole body trembled. Tears welled in her eyes as she laughed breathlessly.

“Fine, I’ll go look at cars with you. Have you picked one out?” Fu Shuang’s words sounded a bit serious, but Xu Qing didn’t realize it, thinking she was just playing along for the “clerk who works like an ox but mocks the other oxen for not being able to afford her store’s clothes.”

“Let’s go, there’s a 4S dealership right next door. I’ve had my eye on one for a while, just waiting for you to check it for me.” Xu Qing squinted and smiled like a “silly-sweet” person. As she leaned sweetly against the Omega, the clerk was once again silently demoralized.

After the couple left, the heavily impacted clerk finally processed what happened. She took a sip of water and said, “These days, Alphas actually need Omegas to support them? When did being a ‘soft-rice eater’ become so arrogant?!”

Leaving the unlucky clothing store, Xu Qing resumed her serious persona. She remained unmoved even when Fu Shuang poked her waist. Although the “kid” hadn’t bought any clothes she liked, she was incredibly happy. She tilted her head to look at her Alpha sister, wondering how she managed to switch so freely between “serious” and “spouting nonsense.”

This truly was a magical person. Not only could she satisfy her various physical needs, but she also provided full emotional value. Making her happy was as simple as drinking water.

“Baby.”

Xu Qing led her girlfriend around a corner, moving from the gorgeously decorated boutique to the entrance of another globally renowned clothing store. She rubbed her nose guiltily and suggested in a small, eager voice: “The quality of this brand is also okay, and the prices aren’t too ridiculous. Three thousand yuan is enough to buy a whole set of winter clothes. I usually wear their brand; take a look, and I’ll pay for you in a bit.”

Fu Shuang didn’t look at the densely packed shelves. Her eyes were fixed only on her Alpha sister. Her hazel eyes reflected the starlight of the sky. Perhaps it was the damn marking taking effect, or perhaps it was just the influence of personality… Fu Shuang only felt that, at this moment, she really loved her sister.
