When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 64

A night passed, and Yu Miao slept soundly without dreams.

Yi Jing still hadn’t figured out how to broach the subject with Yu Miao, but there was no way to keep the press conference a secret from her. Even if Old Master Yi’s actions were low-key, they still needed to be preheated in advance, and some people had to be notified.

The news that the Deputy of the Supervisory Agency, the head of the Disciplinary Committee, and the Core District Security Officer would hold a press conference in the morning quickly spread within a small circle. Yu Miao, who had been closely following internal news, discovered this as soon as she woke up.

“You…” Yu Miao finally remembered what she had vaguely felt she had overlooked last night, “Is this why Old Master Yi summoned you last night?”

Yi Jing looked up at her a bit guiltily, unconsciously pursing his lips, his eyes full of complex emotions.

He didn’t say it explicitly, but Yu Miao understood Yi Jing’s meaning. Yu Miao’s delicate and beautiful brows furrowed tightly, her eyes showing rare obvious anger as she gritted her teeth and said, “That old bastard.”

“Yi Hengzhi sent me the procedure for today’s press conference last night. There’s a special team that has written the script for me, even what I should say in front of the media has been arranged. I thought about it all night, but still couldn’t find a way to refuse him.”

Yi Jing didn’t even bother to address his grandfather properly anymore. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips tightly, holding Yu Miao’s hand, unconsciously gently kneading Yu Miao’s fingertips, repeating the same motion over and over as if to relieve anxiety. He frowned in silence for a long while before slowly speaking, “Perhaps, we can only pretend to go along with him for now.”

“Mm, there’s no other way for now.” Yu Miao accepted the situation quite quickly, frowning slightly as she looked back at the news feed on her terminal, “If we openly defy that old man at this time, the Yi family will certainly doubt your value, and even your safety could be affected then.”

Yi Jing lowered his eyes, lost in thought about something, and didn’t immediately respond.

The news feed also recommended several different political accounts’ analyses of this suddenly convened press conference. Yu Miao scanned those contents at a glance, frowning slightly in confusion as she murmured softly:

“But, isn’t someone like Old Master Yi the type who would ruthlessly seize all living space from opponents other than himself once he makes a move? How dare he make such a harsh move against Delinke. How dare he act? Could it be?”

Yu Miao paused, suddenly turning to look at Yi Jing.

Yi Jing raised his eyes as if sensing something, but his gaze was still somewhat unfocused, as if he wasn’t really looking at Yu Miao, but thinking about something related to her.

Yu Miao slowly furrowed her brows, looking deeply at Yi Jing and said: “Or perhaps, the reason Old Master Yi is letting you do this is because he’s certain that after this, Delinke won’t have a chance to retaliate against you or the Yi family.

He’s very likely planning to directly eliminate Delinke after this incident, and then let you take over the Supervisory Agency.”

Old Master Yi never intended to spare Delinke from the beginning. The Yi family or rather, Old Master Yi had been plotting to put Delinke in an irredeemable situation long ago, even before the general election. The Yi family had already made such plans, and the general election was just an opportunity.

When they had just entered the Yi family, just returned to this place, Old Master Yi was already planning and arranging these things step by step, while they were unaware, still busy with other matters.

Yu Miao’s expression turned cold, her face as frosty as if covered in a layer of frost as she quietly looked at the news feed on the light screen: “We were a step too late.”

“Sister.” Before Yu Miao could finish, the hand hanging by her side was suddenly grabbed by Yi Jing.

“Hm?” Yu Miao was startled.

“Sister,” Yi Jing held Yu Miao’s hand, as if he hadn’t heard Yu Miao’s analysis at all, his gaze fixed tightly on Yu Miao, only immersed in his own thoughts.

There was a hint of sadness and fear deeply hidden in his expression, not easy to notice, but once he met Yu Miao’s gaze, that bit of timidity seemed to hide away like a light-fearing creature suddenly seeing light: “For the morning press conference, will you accompany me?”

“What?” Yu Miao was taken aback, instinctively feeling it was strange. Of course she wouldn’t be unwilling to accompany Yi Jing, she was just a bit surprised.

Yi Jing wasn’t a timid personality, this little alpha was crazy enough to arrange for his own people to shoot at her to smear others, causing car accidents was even more trivial. It was just a press conference, Yi Jing shouldn’t feel nervous or afraid.

Moreover, she hadn’t been close to that kind of occasion for a long time.

Since leaving the Rizhong Group and insisting on investigating what secrets were hidden within the Yi family, she had never participated in such occasions again. Now suddenly bringing it up actually felt a bit unfamiliar.

“Why?” Yu Miao asked with a slight frown.

Putting aside other factors, wouldn’t Old Master Yi be suspicious if Yi Jing attended the press conference and brought her along at this time?

Yi Jing seemed to pause for a moment, his face a bit pale, with a hint of bewilderment appearing in his eyes again. His slightly cold hand unconsciously gripped Yu Miao’s fingers tightly, his gaze fixed on Yu Miao without relaxing for a moment as he asked: “I want you to accompany me. Is that okay?”

Yi Jing asked in a very soft voice.

Of course Yu Miao couldn’t refuse Yi Jing like this, but she also felt that Yi Jing’s expression was a bit strange, completely different from usual.

How could this be?

Yu Miao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

That’s right, Yi Jing had never been very willing to listen to Old Master Yi, and didn’t usually obey the Yi family’s arrangements. In this incident, he even stood on the opposite side of the Yi family like her. How could he now obediently agree to the Yi family’s demands?

Moreover, even if Yi Jing was willing, someone as suspicious as Old Master Yi might not necessarily believe it.

Yu Miao couldn’t help but frown, raising her hand to cup Yi Jing’s face as she asked seriously: “Darling, I’m here, don’t be afraid.

Why are you so tense? Did something happen, is it. Old Master Yi threatening you?”

As soon as Yu Miao finished speaking, her lips were covered by a slender, cold hand.

Yi Jing raised his eyes to look at Yu Miao, his eyes filled with deep pain and fear, his expression so sad it was like a child abandoned on a snowy night, making Yu Miao unable to say another word.

Yu Miao calmed down, reading the unease and fear in Yi Jing’s expression. She lowered her eyes and silently sighed, not mentioning another word, only gently pulling down Yi Jing’s hand and saying: “It’s okay, I’m still here.”

Yi Jing closed his eyes and hugged Yu Miao’s waist without thinking, burying his head tightly against Yu Miao’s abdomen as he said in a muffled voice: “You have to always be here.”

Yu Miao’s heart melted, her expression as gentle as spring water. She raised her hand to gently stroke Yi Jing’s head resting on her front, feeling her fingertips pass through the soft hair as she softly promised: “I will be.”

Yi Jing hugged Yu Miao silently for quite a while, long enough for Yu Miao to feel something was off, before he finally spoke: “Shall we go to the press conference venue?”

“Mm.” Yu Miao responded, and when Yi Jing got up, he seemed to have composed his emotions, though his mood still didn’t seem very good. When he looked at Yu Miao again, he seemed a bit embarrassed, very uncomfortably scratching the side of his face with his fingers.

Yu Miao secretly suppressed the corners of her lips that wanted to curl up, and raised her hand to hold Yi Jing’s hand hanging by his side.

The two walked out of Yu Miao’s residence together, where an unfamiliar butler and a shuttle from the estate were already waiting at the door. The butler seemed slightly surprised to see Yu Miao following Yi Jing, but quickly adjusted his expression and smiled as he invited Yi Jing and Yu Miao into the car.

The usually quiet and low-key butler who never offended anyone raised his head for the first time to look directly into Yi Jing and Yu Miao’s eyes, as if monitoring something. Yi Jing coldly returned the gaze, and the next second he led Yu Miao into the car.

The shuttle, uniformly managed by the estate’s underground security hub, sensed the target passengers and automatically drove towards the dispatch station at the front gate of the estate according to the preset route.

Away from certain people’s undisguised gazes, Yi Jing’s face was marginally better, but his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression clearly unhappy.

Yu Miao sighed lightly in her heart and reached out to hold Yi Jing’s hand placed beside him.

Yi Jing was startled, blinked, and hesitantly and carefully turned his face back to look at Yu Miao.

Yu Miao didn’t speak, only gently squeezed Yi Jing’s slightly cool hand in her palm when she noticed Yi Jing’s gaze falling on her.

“!” Yi Jing was startled.

Suddenly being comforted inconspicuously by Yu Miao, Yi Jing was stunned. It took a moment before he reacted, and with complex emotions, he gripped Yu Miao’s hand back.

Yi Jing held Yu Miao’s hand like that, staring at Yu Miao’s profile for a while, and finally relaxed as usual, his body language loosening considerably.

Yu Miao looked ahead and gently curved her lips, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes.

It was good that he wasn’t so tense anymore.

Her little alpha had nothing to be anxious about, she would always stand by Yi Jing’s side.

After a while, the shuttle arrived at the front gate of the estate. The judicial system’s assigned car was already waiting. Yi Jing and Yu Miao sat together in the judicial car, preparing to head to the press conference venue.

Halfway there, two police cars from the city police department suddenly caught up from the front and back, escorting the judicial car in the middle like an honor guard.

“What’s this?” Yu Miao turned back in surprise to look at the police vehicles following closely behind.

“Arranged with Qi Xiao yesterday.” Yi Jing turned to Yu Miao with a slight smile, “Don’t worry, you’ll be very safe during the press conference.”

But the more Yi Jing said this, the more uneasy Yu Miao felt.

She was now the leverage Old Master Yi used to threaten Yi Jing, the soft spot the Yi family used to ensure Yi Jing would still obey. Yi Jing so openly making it clear he wanted to keep her by his side and protect her, wouldn’t Old Master Yi be suspicious? Wouldn’t it increase the suspicion and mistrust between Old Master Yi and Yi Jing?

What exactly did Yi Jing want to do? Even if he didn’t trust Old Master Yi’s methods and needed to see her with his own eyes to feel at ease, wasn’t this going a bit too far?

Or did Yi Jing have something else he wanted to do, and had to guard against Old Master Yi?

In a flash of inspiration, Yu Miao suddenly thought of something, her hand by her side clenched tightly, and she instinctively turned her head towards Yi Jing’s direction. Then she saw Yi Jing with a pale face and tightly pursed lips, but still looking ahead with determined eyes.

Yu Miao had thought Yi Jing’s unusual behavior was due to anger and sadness over Old Master Yi’s threats, but now looking at him. Yi Jing may have made some kind of decision.

Without her knowing, Yi Jing had decided to face something.

Yu Miao’s heart sank slightly, and she observed Yi Jing without speaking for the rest of the journey.

Under the escort of the city police, the judicial car quickly arrived at the press conference venue. The car didn’t drive directly to the venue, but first took a side road and stopped at the side of the venue.

Yi Jing turned his head to look at Yu Miao longingly, then leaned over to hug Yu Miao, holding her tightly in his arms, and said in a muffled voice like he was acting spoiled in Yu Miao’s neck: “Sister, we’ve arrived at the press conference venue.”

Yu Miao didn’t know what to say, and raised her hand to hug Yi Jing back: “…”

She had basically guessed what Yi Jing wanted to do. She didn’t stop him, nor did she want to stop him. Instead, when Yi Jing released his arms around her and gave her a smile that he thought was brilliant but actually looked a bit pitiful, she suddenly pulled Yi Jingback.

“Hm?” Yi Jing was a bit confused.

Before Yi Jing could speak, he was pulled back to the rear seats by Yu Miao, who had been holding back her temper after realizing his plan all along. She pressed him against the soft seat and kissed him mercilessly.

The warm, moist tongue rolled over Yi Jing’s lips, making wet sounds during the kiss.

Yi Jing: “Mmph!!”

This was truly unexpected for Yi Jing. The driver in the front hadn’t even gotten out of the car yet!!

Yi Jing was so shocked that he wasn’t even pale anymore. His ear tips and cheeks turned red in an instant. He looked at Yu Miao blankly, as if he hadn’t reacted, allowing her to do as she pleased.

Until Yu Miao had kissed enough, she slightly raised her eyes to look at Yi Jing: “Jing jing.”

“Mmmm?” Yi Jing’s expression had become much more honest, and when he looked at Yu Miao, he wasn’t so hesitant anymore. He just made people feel that if he wasn’t still sitting in the car at this moment, he might stand at attention directly.

“I’m here,” Yi Jing said.

“We agreed that we would face everything together, didn’t we?” Yu Miao gently stroked Yi Jing’s cheek, her gaze deep and unrefusable, “I will always be here, isn’t that right?”

“Yes, that’s right,” Yi Jing anxiously grabbed Yu Miao’s hand. Though his action was pressing Yu Miao’s hand close to himself, he still couldn’t help but try to explain very urgently, “But I…”

“Jing jing.” Yu Miao looked steadily at Yi Jing and called his name again, the emotions flowing from her eyes firm and clear.

Yi Jingopened his mouth, looking at Yu Miao speechlessly.

“You won’t do anything unnecessary, right?” Yu Miao looked at Yi Jing, “We will face it together.”

Yi Jing’s throat moved slightly, and he finally stopped arguing, lowering his eyes and gripping Yu Miao’s hand on the side of his face, his voice carrying a barely noticeable tremor: “You’ll always be by my side, right?”

If Yu Miao wasn’t there, everything he was going to do would really lose most of its meaning.

“I will be.” Yu Miao used her free hand to gently stroke Yi Jing’s hair.

Yi Jing, with his head lowered, took a deep breath at this action, adjusted his expression, and looked up at Yu Miao for a long time before saying: “If there’s danger, you must escape, you must, okay?”

Yu Miao smiled and pinched his face: “I’ll consider it. Do I look like an idiot?”

Only then did Yi Jing relax slightly, somewhat understanding why Yu Miao had been so angry when he deliberately got injured and stayed in the hospital in Phantom City back then.

Now that it was her turn, she also didn’t want to see Yu Miao get hurt.

“Then I’m going?” Yi Jing looked at Yu Miao reluctantly.

“Mm.” Yu Miao smiled gently.

Yi Jing looked at her deeply one last time, took a deep breath, turned and got out of the car, preparing to face the long guns and short cannons at the press conference.

At the Yi family estate, Old Master Yi had indeed implicitly hinted at and threatened her. She understood, but after careful consideration, she still felt she couldn’t possibly say what Old Master Yi wanted her to say.

She was no longer just an outsider now, she was also a friend and partner to many people, a collaborator and colleague to some.

In the long time since transmigrating into the book, she had already cooperated with too many people. She had already become ‘Yi Jing’, it was her own choice to become this character. No matter what the initial purpose was, the shell of the character had now fused onto her and couldn’t be separated.

She should take on everything that ‘Yi Jing’ should do, otherwise it would be a complete OOC, prematurely game over in the story.

Yu Miao’s judgment earlier was correct, they couldn’t win against Old Master Yi in this round.

The Yi family had been plotting much earlier than them, almost from half a year ago or from some unknown time when the Yi family judged that Delinke would be a hindrance, they had already begun to plot Delinke’s downfall.

The Yi family had prepared who knows how many tricks for this, one trap after another. There would inevitably be a moment they couldn’t handle, their fall into decline was already inevitable.

But someone had to stand to the end. Even if it was just to be able to join hands with everyone who wanted to overthrow the Yi family later, she couldn’t retreat at this time. Once she gave in this time, she would never be able to shake off the Yi family’s control in the future.

She had no choice, but she didn’t want Yu Miao to be in danger. She could only spend a night planning a scheme where she alone would bear the consequences of going against Old Master Yi, and use the time on the way to the press conference to first transfer Yu Miao away and hide her, with her facing everything afterwards.

But Yu Miao saw through everything, and chose to stay with her.

At this point, she could only hope that Qi Xiao could be reliable. If there was an unexpected situation, she still needed to find a way to take Yu Miao away.
