The Pursuit of Love After Divorcing My Cold Omega - Chapter 65

Trying… To Stop Loving That Alpha

The coffee stain on her jacket was left untouched until it dried. Yu Kunian sat in her original spot, staring blankly for a long time. She had only taken half a sip of the coffee, yet her mouth felt incredibly bitter. For the first time, she felt that coffee was truly unpleasant.

The ring lay quietly beside the divorce agreement. Yu Kunian picked it up; the cool touch cleared her mind slightly. The Alpha gripped it tightly, and even though the ring pressed a red mark into her palm, she still didn’t let go.

Despite the warmth of her palm heating the cold wedding ring, Yu Kunian still felt a persistent chill in her heart.

Xia Weichi’s figure had already vanished. When Yu Kunian left the coffee shop, it was noon—less than two hours remained before Xia Weichi and Song Wenzhi’s flight was scheduled to depart the country. Yu Kunian was unaware of this. The Alpha held the divorce agreement, feeling an emptiness in her heart, yet she didn’t know the reason why.

On the way to the airport, Xia Weichi looked at Song Wenzhi, who sat in the passenger seat looking consistently despondent. While waiting at a red light, she turned to look at the Omega. “Xiao Zhi, you can still change your mind.”

Song Wenzhi’s gaze toward the car window was somewhat lost. Hearing Xia Weichi’s words, she lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment before saying, “I won’t regret it, Weichi.”

She was just unhappy; she was just so sad.

Ending things with Yu Kunian in this manner meant that from today onward, she and Yu Kunian would go their separate ways. Perhaps they would never have the chance to meet again. That portion of her love would be buried forever today.

She didn’t regret it, because this was how it was meant to be.

“Everything will pass. Time will quickly make you forget her.” Xia Weichi’s eyes held complex emotions. “Xiao Zhi, after leaving this place, you can start a new life. A person meets many people in a lifetime, and she, Yu Kunian, is just a passerby. Nothing more.”

A new life. Yu Kunian had told her the same thing.

Song Wenzhi no longer cared whether she could truly have a new life, nor did she think about forgetting Yu Kunian. This marriage, to her, would always be unforgettable. Yu Kunian was already branded on her heart, impossible to erase in this lifetime. She would try to let go… try to… stop loving that Alpha.

The red light ended. Song Wenzhi opened the car window slightly, letting the midday breeze ruffle her hair and brush against her tired eyes. The passionate sunlight fell on her cheeks. The Omega subconsciously wanted to rub the ring on her finger with her fingertip, but when the familiar sensation was gone—replaced by the faint mark left by the ring—Song Wenzhi suddenly realized that the wedding ring had been returned.

Her warm fingertip pressed against that ring mark. Song Wenzhi was silent for a moment, then withdrew her hand. She retracted her gaze, remembering the Alpha she had seen from a distance outside the coffee shop earlier, and asked, “Is Yu Kunian… okay?”

Xia Weichi said, “Better than a while ago. After she resigned as CEO, she lost a lot of trouble. Xiao Zhi, you don’t need to worry about her. She has the Yu family as her backing; don’t fret over her anymore.”

Xia Weichi only hoped Song Wenzhi would withdraw her attention from Yu Kunian. Whether Yu Kunian lived well or poorly had nothing to do with them anymore.

Song Wenzhi didn’t know how to respond. She lowered her eyes and said casually, “I thought she wouldn’t easily leave Zhaoming Biology.”

“No matter what, Yu Kunian is a businesswoman. The company was beyond saving in her hands, and the board of directors was pressing hard. Resigning voluntarily at this time is to save a final bit of dignity for herself,” Xia Weichi explained. “Xiao Zhi, you have to see Yu Kunian for who she is. She always puts herself at the center.”

Song Wenzhi didn’t speak. She just felt that… it didn’t seem to be that way.

But she would never have the chance to be certain of who the real Yu Kunian was.

Leave this place, let Yu Kunian disappear from my world—hopefully. Song Wenzhi took a deep breath. She didn’t know if she could do it.

Song Wenzhi had only told Director Qin the news of her departure today. When she went to Lihua University to resign two days ago, Director Qin came to find her. He didn’t say much else, only asked about her future plans, so Song Wenzhi confessed everything to him.

Before the plane took off, she sent a message to Director Qin, thanking him for his care over the years and telling him not to worry.

Once the plane ascended into the sky, Xia Weichi finally seemed at ease. She said to Song Wenzhi, “Xiao Zhi, since your condition has finally stabilized, just take a nap.”

Taking Song Wenzhi away was something she had wanted to do for a long time.

Meanwhile, because her rut had arrived early, Yu Kunian forced herself to remain calm and returned home. She didn’t use the back door, entering directly through the front. In the first-floor living room, Yu Dai and Yang Jin were sitting there. Seeing her enter, they both seemed a bit stunned and subconsciously looked upstairs.

But before they could open their mouths to question her, Yu Kunian threw the divorce agreement in front of them.

The Alpha’s voice was ice-cold, and even her eyes had turned dark. She spoke, “Divorced. Are you satisfied?”

Without waiting for Yu Dai and Yang Jin to speak, she walked upstairs in a daze. Halfway up, she almost lost her footing and missed a step, only managing to stop by gripping the handrail tightly. Yu Kunian hung her head; a layer of thin sweat had broken out on her forehead, and a few strands of hair clung to her temples. The sweat on the back of her neck had soaked the scent blocker, and her pheromones were becoming uncontrollable.

Walking quickly upstairs, Yu Kunian’s fingertips trembled. She pushed the door open and entered, startling Li Ci inside.

The Omega cried out, wanting to ask why she had come through the front door, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she keenly sensed that Yu Kunian’s state was wrong.

“Yu Kunian, are you in your rut?” Li Ci guessed, seeing her distressed expression.

The hand Yu Kunian used to hold the ring was strained, her fingertips turning white. She didn’t even bother to lift her eyelids. She bypassed Li Ci and sat down on the edge of the bed, putting a hand to the back of her neck, and said indifferently, “Miss Li, you can leave.”

The matter had been resolved, and with the early onset of her rut, her emotions were harder to control. She needed to be alone and had no time for small talk with Li Ci.

“But you don’t look quite right to me.” Although Li Ci stepped back a few paces, her gaze remained on Yu Kunian. Perhaps because there was no Omega pheromone to soothe her like last time, Yu Kunian not only felt miserable now but was also more prone to irritability.

“Don’t mind me.” Yu Kunian endured the urge to tear off the scent blocker and spoke in a low voice, trying to maintain her sanity. “If there’s nothing else, Miss Li should go. My pheromones will disturb you.”

As she spoke, Yu Kunian lifted her head and looked at Li Ci.

Li Ci couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, but she felt Yu Kunian’s gaze was as deep as a bottomless stone pool. The Alpha’s pupils were gloomy, like cold blood, and held a swallowing pressure—especially evident against Yu Kunian’s somewhat pale face.

Originally, Li Ci had intended to leave, but seeing this situation, she turned back and said, “But you… your complexion is bad.” She suspected that Yu Kunian might be experiencing a temporary emotional breakdown due to the divorce and couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

If Yu Kunian hadn’t gone to get a divorce today, she might have really just left. But in this current situation, Li Ci was truly worried that Yu Kunian might do something irrational. Thus, after hesitating repeatedly, she decided to step a few paces closer and slightly released some of her own soothing pheromones.

Although it couldn’t compare to the Omega pheromones Yu Kunian’s gland was familiar with, at least her rose scent was gentle and could still have some effect.

Li Ci’s pheromones spread out slowly; the sweet fragrance of roses was faint, most suitable for calming an Alpha’s emotions. Furthermore, Li Ci discovered that her pheromones seemed to have a decent compatibility with Yu Kunian’s—not as good as Song Wenzhi’s, but barely enough.

Before a permanent mark is made, under normal circumstances, Alphas or Omegas can accept soothing pheromones from others, especially in cases of compatibility, which can produce good results.

As Li Ci released her pheromones, she asked, “Yu Kunian, do you feel any better?”

Yu Kunian’s brow furrowed. She naturally sensed the compatible pheromones from Li Ci, but when the rose scent hit her, her first reaction was to pull away. Even though her gland showed no sign of rejection, the Alpha still felt an uncontrollable resistance from the bottom of her heart.

Yu Kunian’s breathing quickened, her state becoming worse instead, and her voice became rude: “Get out!”

Except for Song Wenzhi’s coconut candy scent, she could not accept pheromones from anyone else.

This wasn’t an instinctive rejection; it was a psychological resistance.

Li Ci was baffled by her harsh tone. She also became a bit impatient and said, “Yu Kunian, your condition is very poor right now. If you don’t accept soothing pheromones, it’s easy to—”

“Get out immediately,” Yu Kunian interrupted her heartlessly. “Li Ci, I don’t need your pheromones.” Having said that, her powerful mint scent forced the rose fragrance out, her meaning clear.

Li Ci was choked up. She simply withdrew her pheromones immediately, no longer performing this thankless task. She glared at her crossly, then turned and pulled the door open. She had barely stepped out when she bumped into the returning Yu Sheng, who froze upon smelling the pheromones on her.

“Your sister is in her rut, and she won’t accept my kindness. Her condition is very bad. Think of a way.” Li Ci dropped these words and left.

Yu Sheng looked back as Li Ci went downstairs. Her brow furrowed slightly, and a moment later, she knocked on Yu Kunian’s bedroom door and poked her head in. Sure enough, she smelled the intense scent of mint.

“Sister,” Yu Sheng tried not to lean in, avoiding being affected by the Alpha’s pheromones, “Are you okay?”

Yu Kunian closed her eyes and said very impatiently, “Get out. From now on, no one is to come looking for me.”

Yu Sheng didn’t have much of a chance to persuade Yu Kunian, so she placed a gift bag in her hand onto the shelf by the door. “This was received at the company today. I asked the assistant, and they said it was something you ordered before. I brought it to you. Sister, if you need anything, call me anytime.”

Looking at Yu Kunian’s expression, it was indeed abnormal.

After speaking, Yu Sheng quickly closed the door. If she stayed any longer, she wouldn’t be able to stand Yu Kunian’s pheromones.

Silence returned to the room. Hearing Yu Sheng’s words, Yu Kunian slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze fell on the familiar gift bag on the shelf. Her fingertips trembled, and her palm slowly loosened, but she didn’t move for a long time.

As the scent blocker was removed, the smell of mint rapidly filled every space in the room. Yu Kunian’s mood was very low; she was both irritable and anxious, trying to find something, but clearly, within this space, there was nothing she wanted.

The Alpha felt this rut was exceptionally difficult.

The pain in her gland wasn’t obvious; rather, it was the heaviness in her heart that felt like it would suffocate her. The Alpha shivered unconsciously, thin sweat seeping from her forehead and wetting her hair. Her gaze searched everywhere within view. The intense mint scent was incredibly monotonous.

It was as if something was missing.

Yu Kunian’s breathing paused. She stood up again and walked toward the gift bag.

The Alpha had once said she would give another gift—that unique and most special gift. The timing of its arrival was truly unfortunate. Now she no longer had the right to give it, nor even the chance. At this moment, she could only slowly open it. Inside, there were two gift boxes.

A pair of wristwatches—exquisite, beautiful, and deeply meaningful.

Yu Kunian took one out. She had personally chosen the style of the watches. At that time, she had been full of joy, thinking this would surely be a wonderful gift. But now, they had become a thorn piercing Yu Kunian’s heart.

The wristwatch originally prepared for Song Wenzhi had lost all its meaning because of the divorce.
