The Omega Who Canceled the Engagement Ended Up Falling for Me - Chapter 5

The wail of sirens echoed outside, and the brawling thugs scattered like startled birds. Xu Qing snapped into clarity instantly. Remembering her specific professional status, it would be disastrous if she ended up with a criminal record!

In that moment, as if injected with adrenaline, she sprang up, grabbed the Omega’s hand, and bolted.

“Go through the back door!” the beautiful young Omega suggested immediately. Unlike the thugs fleeing in a blind panic, she knew the layout behind the bar perfectly.

“Don’t move! Police!”

Several thugs running through the front entrance ran straight into the line of fire, but Xu Qing had already darted backstage, leading the fragile Omega in a frantic sprint.

In the lobby, the bar owner dragged the police into a session of tearful complaints, grumbling that they had arrived too late and that the hooligans had destroyed a significant amount of the establishment’s property.

The man in the suit brushed past the police and left the bar, his face full of resentment as if he had lost his prey.

Once they reached the street, Xu Qing pulled the Omega along for another eight hundred meters before noticing she was panting heavily, completely out of breath.

How could an Omega’s physical stamina compare to an Alpha’s? Xu Qing had been careless. She quickly let go of the girl’s hand and looked at her, drenched in sweat and gasping for air. “Wait for me a moment,” she said apologetically.

There was a convenience store across the street. Xu Qing crossed the road with her head down, bought two bottles of water, checked out, and only then looked back toward where the girl had been standing.

She was still there, waiting for her.

Xu Qing’s eyes brightened slightly. She jogged back across the road, unscrewed the cap in front of her, and handed the water over.

The girl looked at her hesitantly, her rabbit-like eyes turning red again. Before she could speak, tears began to patter down. She said in a thick, nasal voice, “Thank you, Sister.”

Her voice was very soft, but every word was clear.

Xu Qing took a sharp, silent breath and avoided eye contact. Her lips twitched as she pretended to be nonchalant, saying, “What’s there to thank me for?”

As their hands brushed while handing over the bottle, Xu Qing felt as if something inside her had suddenly recoiled. Her hand grew unsteady, and some water spilled from the mouth of the bottle.

The girl took a tiny sip and seemed to choke, coughing twice as tears welled up in her eyes once more.

Xu Qing felt a pang of intense pity and asked with concern, “What… what is your name? Shall I take you home?”

At the words “take you home,” the girl flinched. Her eyes filled with wandering fear and dread as she looked helplessly at Xu Qing. She parted her lips and whispered, “Don’t take me home, I’m scared…”

Xu Qing felt as if her soul were being lured away by the other woman. She tried her best to maintain her composure, glanced down at her watch, and said calmly, “It’s so late. If you don’t go home, where will you go?”

“I… I didn’t earn any money. If I go home, my stepfather will beat me to death,” the girl bit her lip, tears falling steadily from her fluttering eyes. “Please don’t send me back, I beg you…”

Xu Qing cursed silently in her head, looking at her with a face full of worry. “If you don’t go home, is there anywhere else you can go? Do you have any reliable friends?”

“No,” the girl said with her head bowed. “I have nowhere to go.”

Xu Qing touched the keys in her pocket, nearly blurting out something impulsive.

Although she had been drinking, her mind was still quite clear.

Usually, she didn’t even dare bring stray cats or dogs home, let alone a living, breathing human being.

Could a beautiful, doll-like Omega really be taken home just like that?

Had she thought about the consequences?

Even though her engagement had been called off, the matter wasn’t entirely settled. Ms. Min was still hounding her to find her fiancée. How could she do something so irrational at a turning point like this?

Eight hundred thoughts raced through Xu Qing’s mind. She hesitated many times, frozen in place and unsure of what to do, until finally, she heard a strange sound.

Xu Qing glanced at the girl, who turned beet red and raised both hands to cover her face.

Xu Qing: “…Are you hungry?”

From behind her hands, the girl let out a tiny sound: “Mm.”

Even the sound of her stomach growling was louder than her voice. Shamed once again, she turned her back.

Xu Qing: “Pfft, hahaha.”

The girl protested softly, “Don’t laugh.”

Xu Qing: “Okay, I won’t.”

Her voice was as gentle as an angel’s, and when she smiled, she showed a very sweet tiger tooth. From between her fingers, Fu Shuang quietly observed this Alpha woman, estimating her status and age while simultaneously refining her tragic life story in her mind.

If it hadn’t been for this woman standing up for her today, she didn’t know what kind of humiliation she would have suffered from that pack of mad dogs below the stage, or that predatory Boss Zhou…

Fu Shuang took a hurried look back, fearing someone might chase them out from the bar’s back door.

Seeing this gesture, Xu Qing immediately comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to eat first. What do you want to eat?”

The girl shook her head blankly.

Xu Qing smiled. “Let’s go have ramen. Eating noodles will make you feel better.”

Like an obedient little animal, the girl nodded submissively.

“Wait for me here for a bit, about two or three minutes,” Xu Qing said. After receiving a nod of promise, she jogged back toward the bar.

Fu Shuang waited under the streetlamp for a while. During that time, a man on a bicycle passed by and looked her up and down with predatory eyes, but she glared back fiercely.

She pretended to be on the phone, keeping a close eye on the passerby’s movements with her peripheral vision. Only after confirming the man had left did she relax.

It was already 11:50 PM. It was truly too dangerous to be alone on the streets at this hour.

With a loud roar, a green motorcycle pulled up beside her.

Fu Shuang squinted at it. The person on the bike took off their helmet, revealing a clear, elegant face. She said, “I’ve been drinking, so I don’t dare ride too fast. I’ll take you somewhere nearby to eat first, then we can figure out where to send you. Can you get on?”

She had said about two or three minutes, but it had actually been faster than Fu Shuang imagined.

But to get from here to the bar and back, wouldn’t running take several minutes?

Fu Shuang stared at her blankly, only remembering her persona after a long moment. She said weakly, “I… I’ve never sat on a motorcycle before. I’ll try my best…”

She walked to the side of the back seat, unsure whether to lead with her left or right foot. Xu Qing got off the bike first, proactively took her by the waist to help her onto the pillion seat, and gave her the only helmet.

“I’ll ride very, very slowly—slower than an e-bike. Don’t be afraid. Wear the helmet, and you’ll be fine,” Xu Qing soothed her gently.

Fu Shuang held the stylish white helmet, finding it somewhat familiar. Perhaps most people who rode motorcycles chose this kind of style.

She obediently buried her head inside the helmet, and a jolt like an electric current suddenly stiffened her body.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Qing noticed her reaction and frowned. “Is there a smell?”

Fu Shuang: “…”

Xu Qing rubbed her nose in embarrassment. She realized she wore the helmet for her daily commute and hadn’t cleaned it in half a month—a smell was definitely normal. She couldn’t smell herself, but the other person was an Omega—a sensitive, fragile Omega!

She stood there awkwardly, debating whether to tell her to take it off, when suddenly the Omega girl leaned softly against her. “Sister,” she murmured, “your pheromones smell so good.”

Xu Qing: “!”

An intense wave of emotion surged through her nerves. Xu Qing bit her tongue hard, forcing herself to remain rational. She didn’t dare look down at the Omega resting on her shoulder. Her blood rushed upward, and her breath hitched.

Sister.

Your pheromones smell so good.

Holy crap.

Let “Sister” smell yours then.

Xu Qing swallowed hard and lowered her voice. “Did you bring an inhibitor?”

Beneath the helmet, the girl raised her misty, tearful eyes to look at her, her damp lashes drooping. She said almost exhaustedly, “I brought it.”

Xu Qing: “I’ll get it for you.”

The girl’s handbag was resting on her lap, covering her denim skirt, though her shapely thighs were visible at the sides.

Xu Qing had forgotten how she had helped her onto the bike just now. If she had noticed the length of the skirt, she definitely wouldn’t have done that.

She took the inhibitor out of the girl’s bag and gave her a puff near her nose and mouth.

“Do you feel better?” Xu Qing held the inhibitor bottle, her fingers trembling slightly.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and gave a soft “Mm.” She said, “Thank you, Sister.”

Xu Qing smiled, put the inhibitor back in the handbag, and took off her own shirt, spreading it out to cover the girl’s legs.

“To keep you from being exposed,” Xu Qing said uncomfortably.

After taking off her shirt, she was left wearing only a camisole, generously revealing her lean, well-proportioned physique.

Xu Qing turned her back, gripped the handlebars, and swung her long legs easily over the bike.

“If you’re worried about balance, you can hold onto the handles on both sides,” Xu Qing turned slightly, pointing out the position of the grab rails.

The girl nodded naively.

As the engine started, a pair of soft hands gently attached themselves to her waist, pressing coolly against her abdominal muscles.

Xu Qing’s ears burned. She began to ride, more carefully than ever.
