Xia Rong had been by Lu Zhiyuan’s side since childhood and had never seen her care so much about an Omega. Her brain paused for a few seconds before she belatedly responded, “Yes!”
Xia Rong removed the sandalwood bracelet from her wrist, about to throw it at the Omega in the short skirt and black stockings. Just as she raised her hand, a silver arc flew through the air, heading straight for the Omega’s face.
The silver arc hit the ground, shattering into pieces of glass.
Immediately after, several more arcs flew over, filling the room with the sound of breaking glass.
ALICE was extremely distressed, muttering non-stop: “Twenty, thirty, fifty…”
Xia Rong discreetly retreated to her side, looking puzzled: “What thirty, fifty…?”
ALICE clutched her chest: “The glass cups Miss Shen threw are from the O Country Royal Court’s premium Cherished series. The whole set is worth nearly a million…”
Lu Zhiyuan turned her head to look over, the corners of her lips curving into a smile: “It’s just a set of cups, isn’t it? We can buy more.”
Little fox, so fierce. No need to worry about her being bullied in the future.
ALICE: ??
Previously, when Omegas caused trouble in private rooms, the young miss would itemize the bill and make them pay full compensation. Why the double standard with Miss Shen?
Shen Qiaoyi threw another small jade porcelain cup at the Omega in the short skirt and black stockings.
It hit her squarely on the forehead.
Zheng Siya took advantage of the moment the Omega covered her wound to push her away with all her might, stumbling towards Shen Qiaoyi.
Shen Qiaoyi hurried forward to support her, holding her tightly behind her back.
The Omega in the short skirt and black stockings cried out in pain and shouted angrily: “Big Fatty, Little Fatty, beat them up!”
Shen Qiaoyi grabbed the decanter from the table, smashed it hard against the edge, gripped the bottle neck, and waved the sharp glass outwards haphazardly.
“Don’t any of you dare come closer!”
Instantly, the three female Alphas were frozen in place. The Omega in the short skirt and black stockings grabbed a short stick from somewhere and was about to swing it at Shen Qiaoyi.
The next second, her wrist was seized. There was a “crack” sound, and the short stick fell to the ground.
The security guards in the bar recognized the newcomer and gathered around, respectfully calling out: “Miss Xia.”
Xia Rong responded with an “Mm” and withdrew her hand, glancing at the Omega in the short skirt and black stockings who had fallen to the ground. She said coldly: “Call Officer Guan and ask her to come handle this.”
Then she looked at Shen Qiaoyi and Zheng Siya, her attitude becoming extremely humble: “You two can leave now.”
Shen Qiaoyi looked bewildered: “But… how do I compensate for the things I broke?”
Xia Rong secretly glanced in Lu Zhiyuan’s direction and said softly: “Someone will cover it for you.”
Shen Qiaoyi caught Xia Rong’s small movement. She turned her head, her gaze colliding with Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes. She was standing in the corner, less than ten meters away, holding a tray as usual. Only her expression was somewhere between a smile and not, inscrutable.
Oh no, oh no!
How could she let Zhi Yuan see her fighting with people? Would it scare her away?
To salvage her image, Shen Qiaoyi didn’t care about anything else and walked directly towards Lu Zhiyuan, anxiously explaining: “Zhi Yuan, don’t misunderstand! What you just saw wasn’t the real me… I, I, I’m usually very gentle and weak… I can’t even open bottle caps…”
Lu Zhiyuan leaned down slightly, only a hair’s breadth from Shen Qiaoyi, her breath slowly approaching: “Is that so? Then… I can help you open them.”
Shen Qiaoyi: ??
Was she just flirted with by Zhi Yuan?
The hunter locked in place by her prey, Shen Qiaoyi licked her lips, lowering her eyelashes in embarrassment for the first time.
Lu Zhiyuan’s gaze followed, pausing for two seconds on her moist lips before slowly rising to meet her eyes, a gentle smile in her expression.
Oh my, that smile combined with Zhi Yuan’s top-tier godly face was truly incredible.
Indeed, beauty can be lethal.
Shen Qiaoyi suddenly felt her mouth go dry. She asked irrelevantly: “Zhi Yuan, did I cause you trouble?”
Lu Zhiyuan maintained her leaning posture and countered: “What do you think?”
The distance between them grew closer, their breaths intertwining.
Whimper…
When the usually serious and aloof ice queen flirts, it’s really deadly.
Her heart was about to jump out of control from being so close.
A faint pink slowly spread across Shen Qiaoyi’s cheeks as she tried to suppress her wildly beating heart: “Zhi, Zhi Yuan, don’t worry. I’ll take care of the trouble I caused myself. I won’t implicate you.”
With that, she turned and walked up to Xia Rong, sincerely apologizing: “Um… are you Zhi Yuan’s superior? I’m really sorry for breaking your things, but please don’t worry, I’ll compensate for everything. Please don’t give Zhi Yuan a hard time, okay?”
Xia Rong was stunned for a moment before remembering her role and playing along: “It’s, it’s fine. You don’t need to compensate.”
Shen Qiaoyi was bowing and apologizing when she straightened up to see Xia Rong also bowing to her, and even lower, almost at a 90-degree angle.
Shen Qiaoyi thought to herself that the managers at this high-end club really had different qualities, being so polite.
She had no idea that she was actually the little fox in the “fox assuming the tiger’s might” situation.
Shen Qiaoyi looked up at Xia Rong and asked again uncertainly: “You won’t make Zhi Yuan pay either? You promise you won’t give her a hard time?”
Xia Rong’s gaze moved past Shen Qiaoyi to look behind her for a second, then timidly withdrew, not daring to make eye contact with her young miss.
She pushed up her frameless glasses and emphasized again: “Our company doesn’t punish employees arbitrarily. She didn’t break the items, so there’s no reason for her to compensate.”
Shen Qiaoyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly walked to Lu Zhiyuan’s side, grabbed her arm, and shook it pleadingly: “Zhi Yuan, now you don’t have to worry, right? Your manager said they won’t give you trouble.”
She tilted her head up with a sweet smile, looking exactly like a sly little fox – seductive yet wild, pure yet alluring.
Lu Zhiyuan had never felt this way before. It was as if her heart had been filled with a bottle of sparkling water, bubbling with tiny bubbles. Unable to cope, she could only let the secret joy and sweetness linger in her heart.
Shen Qiaoyi stepped closer, pressing against her. Her breath was sweet and sticky: “But… damaged items still need to be paid for. Ask your manager later how much those broken cups cost, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”
The little fox’s hand gently caressed her fingers, making her feel as if she’d been stroked by a cat’s tail, the tingling sensation spreading to her heart.
Lu Zhiyuan’s fingertips curled slightly: “Our manager said… there’s no need to pay.”
“Of course that won’t do…” Shen Qiaoyi paused, her other hand grabbing Lu Zhiyuan’s hem, using it to pull herself closer. She tilted her head up, her nose almost but not quite brushing Lu Zhiyuan’s chin: “I’m your sugar daddy, you know. How can I let you lose face in front of your colleagues? Don’t worry, I can afford a few cups.”
Shen Qiaoyi was about to add “I can afford to keep you,” when a muffled thud came from behind her.
She turned to see Zheng Siya fall from the sofa, her hands constantly scratching at the ground, making swimming motions.
Shen Qiaoyi hurried over to help Zheng Siya up: “Siya, this isn’t a swimming pool. Get up quickly.”
Shen Qiaoyi had moved away too quickly. Lu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and the little fox had already rushed to the sofa. After a while, she chuckled helplessly and followed.
Shen Qiaoyi let the completely drunk Zheng Siya lean on her shoulder, looking up with an apologetic smile: “Zhi Yuan, my friend is drunk. I’ll take her home first.”
Lu Zhiyuan responded: “Alright.”
Shen Qiaoyi used all her strength to support Zheng Siya, half-carrying, half-dragging her into the elevator bit by bit.
Only after the elevator doors closed did Xia Rong dare to approach Lu Zhiyuan: “Young Miss…”
Lu Zhiyuan lowered her eyes slightly, her voice growing cold: “Xia Rong, what were you doing just now? You’re supposed to be my superior now. Since when do superiors act so subservient to their subordinates? Anyone with eyes could see something was off.”
Inexplicably criticized, Xia Rong dared not voice her anger and quietly defended herself: “Young Miss, I really… I’m not good at acting and this is too difficult, I don’t dare to…”
Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her and walked out coldly, giving instructions in a low voice: “Arrange a car and send two trustworthy people to escort Miss Shen home.”
She paused and turned to stare at Xia Rong: “You don’t need me to teach you how to do this, right?”
Xia Rong shrank her head: “No, no need.”
