When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 15

“Do you know what you just said?!” Auntie dragged Yu Miao, who was half a head taller than her, out of the main house by the arm.

“I know…” Yi Jing stumbled along, keeping pace with Auntie’s steps, responding softly with little confidence.

“And you still said it in front of the old master! Do you think he’ll easily help you with this kind of thing?” Auntie turned back angrily and glared at Yi Jing.

Yi Jing pressed her lips together, not daring to say she had no other choice.

Everything happened too suddenly, whether it was suddenly doing something inappropriate with the person she liked or being caught by the butler while in a daze. Every step was beyond her expectations, and a series of events quickly and urgently forced everyone into an even more dangerous situation.

Of course, for Yu Miao or rather, for Yu Miao and that woman who abandoned her, the Yi family was already dangerous. Even without her, according to the original plot, there would be various other people to harm them.

But she had finally found an opportunity to enter the game, to truly become entangled with those bastards, forcing them to face her. So even if it was a bad move, she had to try to seize it.

Otherwise, who knows when she would truly be able to get close to the protagonist.

Yu Miao wouldn’t trust her, that woman who abandoned her seemed even less likely to trust her, let alone Auntie and Old Master Yi. Everyone would try to stop her.

She had to seize the opportunity.

Since no one would help them, she would.

Auntie thought for a moment, then suddenly asked suspiciously: “Did you provoke someone you shouldn’t have?”

Huh?

Yi Jing looked up at Auntie blankly, met Auntie’s vigilant and thoughtful gaze, and suddenly realized what she meant. She almost jumped up, frantically waving her hands and saying:

“No, no, no! She’s just maybe from a more ordinary background, but there’s no other relationship. Anyway, anyway, I just really like her, that’s all, really nothing else!”

“You didn’t do anything you shouldn’t have?” Auntie tilted her head suspiciously.

Yi Jing: “…”

It’s over.

This one was actually true, although it was for a reason.

“You…” Auntie quickly understood Yi Jing’s silence and rubbed her temples with a pained expression. “How could you be so reckless? You’ve never worried anyone in this regard before, but as soon as I take my eyes off you.”

Yi Jing lowered her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Auntie pondered for a while, then alertly said: “Wait, you weren’t set up by someone, were you? After all, you just returned to the Yi family, it’s not impossible that someone wants to make things difficult for you.”

“No, no,” Yi Jing immediately waved her hands again, rushing to say before Auntie could continue, “It’s not like that, I liked her first! I…”

At this point, Yi Jing felt a bit shy and avoided Auntie’s gaze, gently biting her lip and saying softly: “I fell in love with her at first sight.”

Right there at the church.

“…” Auntie seemed a bit shocked by this answer, speechless for a moment. She even forgot to inquire about the other person’s identity, staring blankly at Yi Jing as if remembering something. After a while, she sighed helplessly,

“Alright, if that’s the case, you must protect her well. This is the Yi family after all, no matter what, don’t be too careless, or you’ll regret it.”

“?”

Yi Jing didn’t expect Auntie to agree so quickly, and moreover from what Auntie said, it seemed she knew something else?

Yi Jing opened her mouth to ask, but Auntie waved her hand to cut off the topic: “Alright, alright, it’s already fortunate that no one is truly angry after the fuss you caused today. Go back and prepare well for tomorrow’s event. You just promised the old master, don’t forget what you said. If you can’t do the job well, there will be no way to salvage the situation.”

“Yes…” Yi Jing hesitated for a moment, but still called out to her, “Auntie!”

Auntie paused in her motion to leave, turning back to look at Yi Jing: “What is it?”

Yi Jing thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and asked: “Auntie, Do you really not have anything you haven’t told me?”
Yi Jing with a complicated expression. After a long while, she sighed and said: “It’s nothing, Auntie is just worried about you. Originally, you returning to the Yi family alone wouldn’t have been a problem no matter what, but you just had to fall in love with someone else and at this time.”

Yi Jing pressed her lips together, not speaking.

Yes, she only hoped to use herself as a bargaining chip to protect that person, daring to step into even the worst situation, while Auntie only hoped for her to be safe and sound.

“I’m sorry, Auntie!” Yi Jing felt a bit guilty and lowered her head to hug Auntie.

The warm, comforting scent of the gentle and reliable elder came through her clothes, with a magical power to reassure.

Auntie seemed to be stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to pat Yi Jing’s back, saying helplessly: “You… you’ve never let me feel at ease. You dare to get involved in all sorts of messy things, and you like to act first and report later. Your aunt and I have almost gotten used to it. But no matter what, this time you must stay safe and sound, understand?  You have someone you like now, you need to take good care of yourself.”

“Mm, I will.” Yi Jing let go of Auntie and nodded solemnly.

Auntie, whose mood had been off since leaving Old Master Yi’s study, finally relaxed. She patted Yi Jing’s shoulder affectionately:

“Go on, go prepare for the political banquet you’ll be attending tomorrow. It’s a very important occasion. Your aunt can’t personally accompany you, so be careful on your own, don’t make any mistakes.”

“Okay.” Yi Jing obediently agreed and dutifully turned to go back to her own quarters.

The political banquet Auntie mentioned was what Old Master Yi referred to as ‘officially taking office’, and it was also Yi Jing’s first contact with anything related to her position since she arrived in this world.

This banquet was similar to a prelude to a general election, with all officials responsible for relevant events in attendance.

In other words, Yi Jing would be able to meet all those colleagues she hadn’t had a chance to see before.

It was laughable, really. It had been who knows how many days since the original owner became the security officer, yet she hadn’t even had a chance to enter her office, but she had attended one banquet after another.

However, there was a slight difference from the Yi family’s evening banquet: the political banquet was not open to the public, did not accept media interviews, and only those qualified could attend, because the venue was set in this world’s unique political building – the Phantom City.

It was said that every city had a Phantom City, built in the air above the core area. During the day, the Phantom City would open specific light and shadow technology to supplement light for the lower city. From a distance, it looked like a huge phantom floating in mid-air, hence the name Phantom City.

In this world where the concept of nations had been infinitely weakened, and all assets on the planet, including numerous satellite bases and space stations in space, were uniformly allocated to the United Nations, with the concept of territories replacing that of nations, cities were the second-level administrative divisions below territories.

The East Pacific Territory, which occupied half of Asia, had only thirteen Phantom Cities when counted carefully.

In this situation, a Phantom City was the political and economic center of a region, the gathering place for all political figures, with the highest level of security and confidentiality standards.

Sitting in the back of the special car, Yu Miao looked down at her white gloves, finally gaining some understanding of how much real power she had.

As the security officer of the most core area in Jing’an City, one of the most economically developed cities under the East Pacific Territory, with the Phantom City right above her head, she essentially had her hand on half of the judicial cases in the vast Jing’an City.

No wonder Old Master Yi wanted to arrange for her to be here. In this position, wouldn’t it be easy to suppress anything they didn’t want outsiders to know about?

No, that’s not right. According to Auntie, this position was what she wanted herself.

Then, given the original owner’s consistent personality, her uncharacteristic desire for a certain position was likely to investigate something. Coincidentally, her being in this position was also beneficial to Old Master Yi, which meant her goals aligned with Old Master Yi’s.

Hmm… it seems this original owner was also quite adept at ‘using others’ strength to do her own things’.

She’s a bit like her.

Yi Jing once again felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the original owner. Despite being two different people, Yi Jing could always easily understand the original owner’s intentions.

Was it a coincidence?

Yi Jing pondered the overlapping habits between her and the original owner, thinking while gently tapping the documents on her knee, until the commotion outside the car brought her attention back.

The inconspicuous special service car slowly drove along the open and quiet road above the ‘Phantom City’, finally stopping in front of the banquet hall that looked restrained but still quite solemn.
