“Siya said that Lu Zhiyuan, the CEO of Lu Corporation, is very ugly, which is why you can’t find any photos of her online.”
Lu Zhiyuan: !!!
Low profile = ugly?
What… strong (twisted) logic.
She was speechless.
Soon, the elevator reached the 12th floor. Shen Qiaoyi led her to stop in front of room 1204.
Entering the passcode, opening the door and going inside, a light blue-gray color scheme came into view – a typical artistic eclectic style.
An orange leather sofa paired with a trendy cartoon patterned rug, walls adorned with graffiti frames of various sizes, DIY potted plants visible everywhere on the balcony – creative yet cozy.
Shen Qiaoyi changed her shoes and bent down to take out a pair of Totoro slippers from the shoe cabinet, placing them in front of her: “Come in quickly, it’s hot outside.”
The slippers were still in their packaging, clearly newly bought.
She didn’t expect the little fox to be so thoughtful, even buying slippers ready. But why did the pattern look exactly the same as the ones on her feet, like they were…
A couple set.
Shen Qiaoyi put down her luggage and walked towards the bedroom, calling out softly as she went: “Mushroom… Mushroom… Come out…”
A white blur flashed past Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes, letting out a “woof” as it pounced at Shen Qiaoyi’s feet.
Shen Qiaoyi crouched down and pinched the Husky’s pointy ears: “Mushroom, mommy’s home.”
Mushroom was hungry and pitiful, nuzzling into her arms. Shen Qiaoyi pulled it away and turned its fluffy head towards Lu Zhiyuan: “Mushroom, this is mama. She’ll be living with us from now on.”
Lu Zhiyuan: ???
Mushroom: ???
Mushroom seemed very resistant to this “stepmom” intruding, barking “woof woof” at Lu Zhiyuan, trying to drive her out.
“Mushroom, don’t be rude.” Shen Qiaoyi lightly tapped the Husky’s head and scolded with a stern face: “Mama is also part of this family, don’t be mean to her.”
Mushroom felt even more wronged, whining non-stop.
Lu Zhiyuan crouched down and moved closer, trying to pet the Husky’s soft fur. But it quickly ran to a corner, staring at her warily and provocatively.
Lu Zhiyuan had never been rejected by pets before. The cats and dogs raised by the gardeners at the Lu mansion all loved to stick close to her. She silently steeled herself, rolled up her shirt sleeves, bent down towards the Husky and called softly: “Mushroom…”
Mushroom haughtily turned its face away. Lu Zhiyuan reached out again, and the Husky simply crawled into its dog crate, arrogantly lying down on the soft pad, lazily yawning, turning its back to her and burying its head to sleep.
This was too… disheartening.
Lu Zhiyuan awkwardly withdrew her hand. Shen Qiaoyi held back a laugh and leaned in close: “Our Mushroom has won pet beauty pageants before. People always try to play with it when we go out, so it’s a bit aloof. Don’t be discouraged, it will like you.”
Lu Zhiyuan let out a cold snort.
Shen Qiaoyi felt this side of her was quite different from usual, strangely endearing in its contrast.
So endearing that Shen Qiaoyi wanted to throw herself into her arms and shower her with the most powerful compliments on earth.
So she really did press up against Lu Zhiyuan’s back, her chin hovering lightly on her shoulder: “Actually… in my heart, you’re the most beautiful.”
The corners of Lu Zhiyuan’s mouth tugged up into a small arc.
Mushroom in the dog crate seemed quite dissatisfied and started making a fuss: “Woof…”
“Mama is the most beautiful, protest denied!” Shen Qiaoyi waved her hand at Mushroom: “Keep it up and you won’t get dinner.”
Speaking of food, Shen Qiaoyi suddenly remembered there weren’t many ingredients in the fridge. She took out her phone to order takeout.
Lu Zhiyuan reached out to stop her: “I’ll cook?”
“You’ll cook?” Shen Qiaoyi was stunned, then showed a troubled expression: “But… there’s only eggs, carrots, and leftover rice from takeout in the fridge.”
Lu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, her red lips curving up slightly: “How about fried rice with egg?”
Shen Qiaoyi’s eyes lit up: “Yes.”
Lu Zhiyuan took the carrot Shen Qiaoyi had taken out of the fridge and washed it under the tap. Suddenly she felt a pair of slender arms encircle her waist.
Lu Zhiyuan’s body instantly stiffened. She lowered her gaze to the Omega’s fair wrists: “What are you doing?”
Shen Qiaoyi unfolded an apron, wrapping it around Lu Zhiyuan’s waist as she hugged her: “Helping you put on the apron.”
She was in a half-squatting position next to Lu Zhiyuan’s legs, her fingers sliding from waist to back, tying the two apron strings tightly.
In this position, there was no substantial embrace, just a faint, barely-there touch, yet it sent tingles like electricity coursing through her limbs.
However, what made Lu Zhiyuan’s heart race most was the little fox’s face pressed ambiguously against her abdominal muscles, unconsciously rubbing as she moved, nearly making half her body go weak.
Lu Zhiyuan’s thoughts were in turmoil. If this continued, she feared she wouldn’t be able to control her glands from releasing Alpha pheromones.
She reached out and pressed on Shen Qiaoyi’s shoulders, pushing her away slightly: “Shen Qiaoyi, can you get me a bowl?”
“Okay.”
Shen Qiaoyi stood up and walked to the cupboard, chose a large bowl, washed some chopsticks, and returned to the counter to see Lu Zhiyuan dicing carrots.
She first cut the carrot into evenly thick slices, then stacked these slices and cut them into strips of equal thickness.
When dicing, her skilled speed was like a video playing at 2.5x speed.
Shen Qiaoyi silently gave a thumbs up. Zhimian was so capable.
But she also felt a bit of heartache.
Indeed, the children of the poor grow up fast.
In fact, Lu Zhiyuan attended an all-female Alpha school in Country Z, a school renowned worldwide for “cultivating heirs for prestigious families”. There, students not only had to complete professional courses, but also had to learn and train in life skills, outdoor survival, etiquette and other aspects.
So cooking was the simplest thing for Lu Zhiyuan.
Shen Qiaoyi wanted to lend a hand and volunteered: “Zhimian, let me crack the eggs for you.”
She thought cracking eggs wouldn’t require much skill, but as soon as she tapped one egg, she failed spectacularly.
The egg white and yolk fell into the bowl along with pieces of shell. She looked up to meet Lu Zhiyuan’s amused gaze and awkwardly tried to cover it up: “Hehe… um… my hand slipped…”
She cracked another egg, carefully breaking the yolk and clumsily stirring in circles until the yolk liquid flowed out.
Lu Zhiyuan silently observed Shen Qiaoyi, seeing her stiff and unfamiliar movements, a big question mark rose in her mind.
Actually, when Shen Qiaoyi first appeared, Lu Zhiyuan had her suspicions.
But Xia Rong’s investigation showed that Shen Qiaoyi was just the daughter of a maid in the Ji family, and didn’t know Qin Mian.
But… why couldn’t this maid’s daughter even crack an egg?
Lu Zhiyuan saw she was about to tip over the bowl and smiled helplessly: “That’s not how you beat eggs. Let me do it.”
She had just moved the cutting board away when her elbow was bumped open, and the next second, a soft body was in her arms.
The little fox had smoothly burrowed into her embrace, lifting up the bowl and looking up with a sweet smile: “Then teach me.”
Lu Zhiyuan’s eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and she instinctively took a step back, but the little fox didn’t give her a chance to retreat.
Shen Qiaoyi freed one hand and pulled Lu Zhiyuan’s retracted hand back, then guided it to rest on the counter behind her.
This position was completely blush-inducing –
A kabedon!
And it was Lu Zhiyuan kabedon-ing Shen Qiaoyi.
To be precise, it should be Shen Qiaoyi guiding Lu Zhiyuan to kabedon herself.
Warm breath brushed against her nose tip. Lu Zhiyuan’s whole body stiffened, even her spine tensed up.
Shen Qiaoyi gently beat the egg liquid, tilting her head to ask: “Am I stirring correctly?”
Her tone was innocently questioning, as if just asking for guidance, but her eyes stared straight at Lu Zhiyuan, full of entangling energy, like a little demon straight out of a book.
From the moment Shen Qiaoyi burrowed into her arms, Lu Zhiyuan had been in a frozen state, her brain along with it.
Seeing her not speak, Shen Qiaoyi lowered her eyes and asked in a small, low voice: “You don’t want to teach me?”
Her eyes still held a hint of moisture, scalding Lu Zhiyuan’s chest with an aching dampness.
She hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately raised her hand, gently resting it on Shen Qiaoyi’s shoulder.
Shen Qiaoyi’s heart leapt with joy, but before she could process this elation, she felt Lu Zhiyuan’s hand press down slightly, turning her whole body around.
Shen Qiaoyi was stunned. She wanted to look up at her, but was pressed against Lu Zhiyuan’s chest.
Lu Zhiyuan pressed against her back, leaning down slightly, her nose tip seemingly brushing against the back of Shen Qiaoyi’s neck.
Shen Qiaoyi instinctively shrank back, then her hand was enveloped by Lu Zhiyuan’s palm.
“This is how you stir,” Lu Zhiyuan whispered in her ear.
The little fox’s hand gripped the chopsticks, while Lu Zhiyuan held the little fox’s hand. Changing the angle slightly, she gently stirred the egg liquid.
The speed was slow, round and round, again and again, grinding away at Shen Qiaoyi’s frantically accelerating heartbeat.
This was maddening!
Were Alphas born knowing how to tease Omegas?
How was her Zhimian so naturally gifted at this, making her whole body go weak, wanting to drag her into a dark room and –
Do unspeakable things.

Preorder new book “Her Omega Maid Always Pretends to be a Beta”
Book description:
Rich young lady Huo Fanzhen has her money and ID stolen while fleeing an arranged marriage. To avoid the bodyguards her father sent to pursue her, she hides in an Alpha’s car, lying that she’s an uneducated Beta from the countryside. She gains shelter from Alpha Fu Siyi.
Huo Fanzhen just wants to be a happy little maid, but on her first day at the Fu residence, she’s weakened by Fu Siyi’s pheromones and falls into her arms.
To hide her Omega identity, she can only try her best to avoid Fu Siyi and strive to be the most unnoticeable little maid.
Who knew that at a dinner party, she would accidentally eat peaches that could trigger her heat. Along with her differentiation comes the alluring peach scent from her glands.
And so, her Omega identity is exposed.
From then on, she finds the Alpha has two faces towards her.
When the Alpha is injured:
In front of others: What’s a little cut on the finger?
In front of the Omega: Sister, my finger is bleeding so much, it hurts… I need a kiss…
Omega: Then you’d better call an ambulance quickly, or the wound will heal soon.
When the Alpha faces a business rival:
In front of others: Immediately initiate the “poison pill” plan, acquire 45% of their shares within two weeks.
In front of the Omega: Long eyelashes trembling, deliberately showing a vulnerable side: Sister, I feel so defeated, so upset, I need a hug…
Omega: The one who needs a hug right now should be your opponent.
Hearing that the Fu family’s daughter picked up a Beta on the street, the Fu family servants all thought the country bumpkin Beta would surely make a fool of herself in the big city. Unexpectedly, Huo Fanzhen not only knows seven languages, her cooking skills even secretly amaze New Oriental culinary instructors. Moreover, she understands pharmacology, finance, design, and can even manage household affairs.
Fu Siyi secretly rejoices, wondering what kind of heavenly luck brought her such a treasure.
However, her precious Omega has to return home with her father to fulfill a marriage agreement.
Fu Siyi blocks her in the room with bloodshot eyes, unbuttoning her own collar as Alpha pheromones gradually spread.
Huo Fanzhen instantly melts in her arms.
Fu Siyi nibbles on her lips: “Sister, can you still bear to leave?”
