Chapter 52: The Omega Abandoned After a One-Night Stand (9)
Rose fragrance intensified.
Su Mingxiu gazed down at the person she was holding. Such a pure and innocent face, like a lotus flower after the rain, yet emitting such a passionate and alluring scent. No wonder she attracted envy.
Despite being caught in this honey trap, her expression remained calm, unlike a typical Alpha. Her pitch-black eyes reflected the alluring blush that now painted the usually pale cheeks. Su Mingxiu even had the mental capacity to think— Roses are good too, like white roses. So fragrant, yet with such a pure color.
… At their peak bloom, one can’t help but want to crush those petals and extract their essence, to see if their insides are just as pure and flawless. And if they are, one can’t help but want to stain them with other colors.
The person buried in her arms was unaware of the thoughts that flashed through Su Mingxiu’s mind. Like a spoiled pet, she nuzzled closer, seeking more of the Alpha’s scent to soothe her restlessness.
But the scent was faint.
As if Su Mingxiu was coldly observing her passion, unaffected and uninvolved.
A hazy image flashed through Chu Ruan’s mind, bringing a moment of clarity. Her rationality returned, her soul seemingly floating above, observing her own embarrassing actions as she threw herself at Su Mingxiu, then relaying the information back to her.
The person nuzzling against Su Mingxiu’s neck suddenly froze, her throat moving. She stopped seeking the intoxicating source of her desire.
Their movements ceased by the wardrobe.
Their bodies were pressed together, but their expressions, their eyes, were both clear and indifferent.
Chu Ruan took a deep breath, even her exhaled breath was hot. She asked in a hoarse voice, “What… what did you do to this suppression collar?”
The terrifying heat that had subsided so quickly had returned after just a short shower. She was even attracted to the faint Alpha pheromones lingering in the room.
A light mint fragrance.
Pretending to be indifferent, like an inconspicuous green leaf, yet with an addictive scent.
Hearing her question, Su Mingxiu slowly raised her right hand and placed it on Chu Ruan’s head. The Alpha’s superior genes were also reflected in her height. At such close proximity, Chu Ruan seemed like a child who hadn’t grown up yet. She had to tilt her head up to see Su Mingxiu’s expression.
Holding her head like this, Su Mingxiu chuckled and slowly leaned down, her face level with the little Omega who was barely over 1.6 meters tall. She had naturally bold features, her lips a vibrant red, as alluring as a mountain spirit, contrasting sharply with Chu Ruan’s soft, white earlobes.
“Little one, I’m a psychiatrist, not a scientist.”
Chu Ruan swallowed repeatedly, whether out of thirst or to suppress the desires she didn’t want to show in front of this person. Her clear eyes flickered between haziness and clarity, like a drowning person struggling to keep their head above water in a sea of lust:
“Then why?”
Why was she like this?
“Good question,” Su Mingxiu said, her hand moving down from Chu Ruan’s hair to her slender neck. The icy silk material of her glove didn’t retain any body heat. Even after wearing it for so long, it still sent a shiver down Chu Ruan’s spine. “You answer that.”
Chu Ruan instinctively felt that Su Mingxiu was just messing with her.
But the heat within her didn’t allow her to think clearly. She used Su Mingxiu’s body to steady herself, her nails digging into the fabric, trying to maintain her sanity. She demanded without hesitation: “Inject me with suppressants.”
The person who heard her command still had that calm and detached attitude. She leaned back against the wardrobe, a smile on her lips as she looked at Chu Ruan. “Answer the question correctly, and you’ll get the suppressants.”
And if she couldn’t answer?
Chu Ruan opened her mouth, looking at the Alpha before her. She could even smell her own pheromones, reeking of desperate appeasement, and she didn’t dare to think about the consequences.
***
Silence, accompanied by the sweet scent of pheromones, spread through the room.
Chu Ruan went from clenching her fists and biting her lip to collapsing weakly against the wardrobe. Throughout the entire process, only when she was about to be swallowed by the suits hanging inside did Su Mingxiu mercifully reach out and pull her back.
She fell into Su Mingxiu’s arms. In a daze, she smelled a sweeter scent than before.
Chu Ruan, losing her rationality, instinctively wanted to devour this candy. But her teeth couldn’t bite down on it, no matter how much her tongue licked and explored. Only when the other party mercifully soothed her nape with pheromones did she feel the restless heat within her subside slightly.
Chu Ruan struggled to regain her senses and saw what she had been biting—
The buttons on the Alpha’s shirt had been undone at some point, and her beautiful collarbone was covered in bite marks and glistening saliva, even a faint blush lingered there.
“Ah!” She was startled at first, then attributed all of this to Su Mingxiu’s refusal to give her suppressants.
So she tried to bite down harder, but this time, her chin was caught by the other person. Su Mingxiu’s alluring eyes looked down at her nonchalantly. “Have you figured out the answer?”
“Kill me or torture me, do whatever you want, why are you doing this to me?” Her hoarse, broken voice was choked with tears.
Su Mingxiu sighed, whether out of disappointment or worry.
Perhaps she couldn’t understand, with the original owner’s brilliant mind, why someone wouldn’t even look at the answer right in front of them. So she reluctantly offered a hint: “The suppression collar you’ve been using has never had any problems. You just changed to this grey one today, and this happened. Is this question really that difficult to figure out?”
The big, doe-like eyes drooped, tears spilling out like pearls.
Su Mingxiu’s hand, cupping Chu Ruan’s chin, caught a warm teardrop. And the crying person didn’t even realize whether these tears were from her friend’s betrayal or from being toyed with by this hateful Alpha in such a humiliating situation—or perhaps, it was because Su Mingxiu’s words exposed her own foolishness.
She had to admit that she had blindly placed her trust in the wrong person.
“You’re lying.”
Chu Ruan shook her head. The heat from her heat cycle made her dizzy, her body constantly sweating, draining her energy. She was like someone who had just been pulled out of a swimming pool. In a moment of weakness, she even bit Su Mingxiu’s finger.
“Tsk.”
Su Mingxiu didn’t bother reasoning with this confused little one. She guessed that if this continued, this little fool would become dehydrated from the overwhelming heat. She simply picked Chu Ruan up with one hand and walked out, preparing to inject her with suppressants.
***
The floral fragrance drifted into the elegantly decorated living room, a hundred times stronger than the incense burning in the burner, as if another mistress had forcibly left her mark.
Su Mingxiu sat down on the sofa, holding Chu Ruan in her arms. But Chu Ruan, whether driven by her remaining rationality or her ingrained instinct to resist this person, struggled to get out of her embrace like a cat refusing to be affectionate with its owner.
Sitting on Su Mingxiu’s lap, one of the Omega’s long legs dangled in the air, unable to reach the ground, swaying precariously.
And her already unbuttoned shirt, due to her previous struggles, slipped further down, almost reaching a dangerous territory.
But the Omega was oblivious. Earlier, as Su Mingxiu carried her, she had wanted to speak but was afraid of giving the hateful Alpha an opportunity to escape. Now, she only bit down on Su Mingxiu’s glove, not realizing that her teeth were sinking into the thin black silk. She mumbled in protest: “Let go of me…”
Until the Alpha slapped her backside, a loud sound that evoked a familiar sense of humiliation in the Omega.
“Move again, and I’ll mark you.”
Chu Ruan whimpered, tears still clinging to her flushed cheeks, but she froze, not daring to move anymore. It was clear that she was using her last shred of rationality to resist being marked.
The grey suppression collar on her neck was removed.
Hearing the sound of the vacuum-sealed package being torn open, she remembered something and instinctively shrank her neck. Just as she was about to say something, the hand she was biting was suddenly pulled out of the glove, leaving only the thin black silk between her teeth.
“Bite down.”
Her nape was patted casually. That gentle, alluring voice was now the most tempting persuasion for Chu Ruan. “Dare to open your mouth, and I’ll punish you later.”
Her pink lips held the black silk glove, her protests silenced. Tears still streamed down her face as she looked up at Su Mingxiu with a confused and aggrieved expression, unaware of how alluring she looked, sprawled in the Alpha’s lap, her open shirt revealing a tempting view.
Su Mingxiu, being looked at like this, pressed the needleless injector against the person in her arms’ nape with a bit more force.
A muffled moan escaped Chu Ruan’s throat.
Being forcefully pulled out of her heat cycle was like plunging red-hot iron from a furnace into ice water. But unlike iron, her body had various regulatory mechanisms, and the discomfort surged through her.
More tears fell from the little girl’s eyes.
Su Mingxiu, seemingly oblivious, casually tossed the empty injector into the trash can beside the table and gently massaged the spot where Chu Ruan had been injected.
“Feeling better?”
No!
The Omega in her arms whimpered and cursed her, trying to push away Su Mingxiu’s hand, feeling that she was being deliberately rough.
She didn’t dare to release the object in her mouth, but she couldn’t swallow her anger. So she mumbled something.
—I hate you!
Su Mingxiu raised an eyebrow, easily understanding her words. She chuckled and released her pheromones to tease Chu Ruan. The Omega, whose internal heat was being suppressed by the cold medication, was suddenly caught between ice and fire, both hot and cold, in agonizing pain.
Her rationality, awakened by the pain, urged her to escape while the Alpha was distracted. But she was pulled back, her waist held tightly. Su Mingxiu asked with a smile: “Didn’t you like this scent just now?”
“Why are you running?”
Like it my ass!
Chu Ruan wanted to spit out the thing in her mouth and curse at Su Mingxiu, but remembering her current state, she rolled her eyes and, going with the flow, continued to mumble.
“In that situation just now, I would have liked the smell of even the stinkiest car exhaust!”
But as soon as she finished mumbling, she felt like she had insulted herself as well. She shut her mouth and closed her eyes, not wanting to see this hateful woman’s face.
This time, although the Alpha didn’t understand her words, she could still understand her emotions. She took the glove from Chu Ruan’s mouth, which was now soaked with saliva, and tossed it into the trash can. She leaned against the armrest of the sofa, one hand behind her head, her gaze lowered as she looked at the person in her arms. “What did you say about me?”
Chu Ruan played dead.
Su Mingxiu didn’t press further. Instead, she asked a different question: “What do my pheromones smell like?”
The listless kitten in her arms opened one eye and thought to herself, Is this person’s sense of smell broken?
But seeing that Su Mingxiu’s expression was unreadable, afraid of guessing wrong, she only grumbled: “Don’t you know yourself?”
The Omega, who had been so obedient during her heat, so fearful when being punished, was now showing her rebellious side as soon as she regained a bit of energy.
Su Mingxiu didn’t say anything, only giving her another spank.
Chu Ruan wanted to protest, but her hand froze as she raised it—
An unknown surge of strength suddenly propelled her out of the Alpha’s arms. She even stumbled on the floor, enduring the pain in her nape as she ran away as fast as her legs could carry her, leaving Su Mingxiu with only a fleeting white blur and the fluttering corner of her black shirt.
And an impatient reply: “A minty pervert!”
Mint?
The person who received the answer remained expressionless, only committing it to memory.
She could sense the panic in Chu Ruan’s retreating figure. Only after Chu Ruan had left did Su Mingxiu feel a chill on her thigh. She looked down and saw a large, dark stain on the fabric.
Her white suit pants were marked with a distinct, meandering river, even one of the maple leaves was stained a deeper shade of red.
The faint fragrance lingered in the air. Su Mingxiu lowered her gaze for a moment, then chuckled softly.
—Why is her name Chu Ruan?
This Omega should be called Chu Tao (Peach).
Like a ripe peach, just a gentle squeeze, and the sweet juice would flow everywhere.
