When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 20

Yi Jing hurriedly rushed back to the Yi family home.

The person she had been thinking about not long ago sent her a contact request, asking if they could meet at the Yi residence.

If that person wanted to meet, Of course Yi Jing would go!

If nothing else, she wouldn’t be able to rest easy until she sorted out the other person’s situation. She couldn’t help but worry that someone else might go cause trouble for her again.

Only by establishing contact as soon as possible could she feel a bit more at ease.

Yi Jing rushed back to the Yi residence as fast as she could, while trying to avoid the family’s seemingly omnipresent servants. By the time she reached the chapel, she was a bit out of breath.

The other person said they would wait for her in the old chapel where they first met, so that meant the outer part of that chapel…?

But Yu Miao didn’t seem to be in the place where they first met, Yi Jing stood in the spot where Yu Miao had leaned against the window that time and looked around, but didn’t see anyone.

“Over here.”

A gentle, soft voice that always sounded a bit cool came from behind. Yi Jing froze for a moment, then turned to see Yu Miao standing in the spot where she had first accidentally entered the chapel.

“I remembered when we first met, I was also lighting a cigarette?”

As she spoke, Yu Miao lowered her head slightly and took out a cigarette, placing it between her lips. Just like when they first met, she lit it with a match, then glanced at the still dazed Yi Jing and smiled, gently calling Yi Jing back to her senses:

“Then you suddenly burst in, right?”

“Ah… um… y-yes, I suppose.” Yi Jing came back to her senses, too embarrassed to say she had been stunned staring at the other person. She could only blush slightly and look away. “That day, I was just passing by accidentally.”

Yu Miao looked at Yi Jing’s awkward appearance with a flash of interest in her eyes. She raised her hand and lightly pointed to Yi Jing’s right, saying: “Come up, the stairs are that way.”

After speaking, Yu Miao turned and walked deeper into the chapel, her graceful figure disappearing lightly by the window.

“Ah…” Yi Jing instinctively reached out her hand as if to hold her back, but then realized this behavior was a bit strange. She could only withdraw her hand and cough lightly, then turn to follow the direction the other person had indicated to find the stairs leading inside.

After going up, Yu Miao hadn’t stayed in place, but she hadn’t gone far either. She was just standing not far from where they had been before, in front of a black wooden door, seemingly examining something.

“You…” Yi Jing hesitantly followed, not knowing what she should say.

Yu Miao, who had been staring at the wooden door, spoke first. Looking at that door, she asked Yi Jing in a soft tone: “…Do you know what this place is used for?”

Yi Jing was stunned.

What else could a chapel be used for besides praying?

But the Yi family’s chapel was clearly abandoned, so what could it be used for? Yi Jing thought for a while, but couldn’t figure it out, so she didn’t answer rashly and just shook her head.

Yu Miao smiled again without saying anything.

“?” Yi Jing was a bit confused and instinctively wanted to ask, “You…”

She wanted to ask what the other person wanted to do with her, but then thought that they had just done that kind of thing in the abandoned warehouse yesterday. It seemed a bit cold and heartless to open with such a question the very next day.

It didn’t seem good to say anything, so Yi Jing simply put the main issue aside and instead asked about what she was most concerned about—

“Are- are you still feeling unwell?”

Yu Miao was taken aback and looked over with some surprise.

“…”

Yi Jing faltered.

Maybe, possibly, this question was also a bit unexpected for Yu Miao?

Fortunately, Yu Miao didn’t let the atmosphere stagnate for too long. In a moment, she smiled: “Do you think I should have recovered or not?”

“Uh…” Yi Jing lowered her eyes and raised her hand to scratch the side of her face, looking a bit embarrassed. She stammered in response, “You haven’t run into any more trouble from others, right? If not maybe you’d be a bit better?”

As she spoke, the tips of Yi Jing’s ears unconsciously turned red again.

Yu Miao observed Yi Jing’s appearance and sighed lightly in her heart: She’s still like an idiot, quite interesting.

Then suddenly Yu Miao leaned forward slightly.

Yi Jing was startled and hurriedly stepped back.

“Why are you backing away?” Yu Miao smiled ambiguously as she raised her hand to hook her collar, looking down at herself. “You weren’t like this in the warehouse yesterday. You kept holding me, calling me ‘sister’, and gripping my waist, not letting me… mmph.”

Yu Miao’s words were only half finished when Yi Jing interrupted her.

The calmness from a moment ago was shattered to pieces. Yi Jing’s whole person seemed about to burst into flames, looking like smoke was about to come out of the top of her head. She frantically interrupted Yu Miao, saying:

“St-stop, sister, please don’t say anymore! I won’t ask, okay? I’m sorry! What do you want me to do? I’ll agree to anything!”

A trace of amusement finally flashed through Yu Miao’s deep, dark eyes, though it quickly disappeared like a pebble sinking into a lake.

“Hmm, alright,” Yu Miao lowered her eyes slightly, her thick eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes. She pulled down Yi Jing’s hand and said, “I did have some things I wanted to discuss with you today.”

Yi Jing: “?”

“I want to ask you for a favor,” Yu Miao said.

Yi Jing: “What favor?”

Yu Miao shifted her gaze and smiled lightly: “Actually, this matter is related to you as well. Even if you don’t help me, you’ll still be involved.”

Yi Jing: “?”

Huh?

What was this about? Had the original owner gotten into some trouble outside?

That shouldn’t be the case, right? If something had happened to the original owner, shouldn’t Auntie have notified her first, or even directly helped her resolve it?

Yu Miao looked at the young woman’s calm but slightly confused expression across from her, tilted her head slightly and smiled, saying:

“How about this – a fair exchange. You help me with something, and I can reveal some information you don’t know.

After it’s done, we can call everything between us even. How’s that? You won’t need to feel guilty towards me anymore.”

“?” Yi Jing was stunned.

What? Call it even???

Actually, she would have helped even if just asked! She hadn’t said she was unwilling!!!

Yi Jing’s mind felt like it had been struck by lightning, with nothing left but that phrase ‘call it even’, ‘call it even’, ‘call it even’ repeating over and over.

She hadn’t even had time to fully process what Yu Miao had said before, and now her careful train of thought had been shattered by Yu Miao’s brief half-sentence.

Did it really have to be called even?

No.

She didn’t want that.

Yi Jing was very unwilling.

But she had a naturally cold face, so even if she felt dejected inside, not much showed on her face. She just looked a bit listless.

She didn’t respond to the ‘call it even’ part, and instead asked about something else: “Oh… so what do you want me to do for you?”

Yu Miao looked at her expression and spoke carefully:

“If you’re asking about that, I have something very important that was taken by someone from the Yi family. That’s the reason I came here but given the current situation, it would be very difficult for me to get it back on my own. So, can you help me?”

Something?

Yi Jing raised her head slightly.

Why did this reason sound so similar to the female protagonist Yu Miao’s reason in the book?

At the beginning of the post, it was mentioned that Yu Miao, as a reporter, seemed to have come to the Yi family for evidence related to an article.

Could it be…

Yi Jing froze, realizing she had never actually asked for the other person’s name.

At first, she had assumed the other person was very similar to the female lead in the book, but later felt it wasn’t fair to the other person to rashly identify them as someone else.

But at this moment, that strange intuition surged up again with unmistakable clarity.

Yu Miao, standing to the side, secretly observed Yi Jing’s expression. Seeing her silence, she thought Yi Jing was unwilling.

This was fine.

It was normal.

After all, the Yi family was Yi Jing’s own family. No matter how naive she appeared, she was still a girl who could take the position of sheriff. It would be difficult to expect her to make any immediate promises.

She hadn’t expected to be able to settle things smoothly right from the start. That so-called “thing” was just a lead.

The most effective time for the evidence chain had already passed. It didn’t matter whether she could get her hands on it or not. She just wanted Yi Jing to do something for her.

Since Yi Jing was unwilling, she could take a step back.

Why not give a bit more information as an enticement?

“I don’t think I’ve asked your name yet.” Before Yu Miao could finish her thoughts, Yi Jing suddenly spoke.

“Hm?” Yu Miao, lost in thought, was startled and looked up at Yi Jing in confusion. “What?”

“I can cooperate with you, but since we’re going to be working together, it’s not too much to ask your name, is it?” Yi Jing said.

Yu Miao was taken aback.

She didn’t think asking for a name was too much, but was surprised that Yi Jing hadn’t looked her up.

Was an omega she had slept with once so unimportant?

Well, it couldn’t be hidden forever anyway, and there was no need to conceal it. It didn’t matter if she said it.

“My name is Yu Miao,” Yu Miao said lightly, not mentioning any of her past achievements. As if she were just an ordinary reporter, she said casually, “I’m a reporter. I had some conflicts with my previous company and quit. I came to the Yi family for an article.”
