Chapter 20

The room was quiet for a while, and they could even hear each other's breathing.

Ning Xuechu bit her lip, and a broken cry came from her throat.

At first, it was as subtle as a cat whimpering, and after a while, it gradually turned into a loud cry, with sad sobbing in between.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hurt my classmate... It's all my fault, I shouldn't have done that..." Ning Xuechu cried out of breath, and her thin shoulders were trembling.

She wanted to use the cry to distract An Jianqing.

"Xuechu, don't cry, I don't mean to blame you. Your sister just wants to say, if you are wronged at school, just tell me." An Jianqing's heart softened and she hurriedly comforted.

Ning Xuechu was a little surprised, and while secretly relieved, she continued to pretend to cry.

Previously, when she saw An Jianqing's serious expression, she thought that the other party was here to ask for her guilt, but she didn't expect that she guessed An Jianqing's intention wrong and scared herself.

After crying for a while, Ning Xuechu stopped crying, raised her head with red eyes, and said cautiously, "Sister, I did something wrong, don't you blame me?"

"Tell your sister exactly what happened, and don't lie."

Although she heard the story from the teacher, she wanted to hear it from Ning Xuechu herself.

She believed that Ning Xuechu was a pure and kind child who would only hurt people in an emergency, definitely not as thoughtful as Qiu Mengxi said.

Ning Xuechu sobbed twice and told what happened in a pitiful tone.

However, she concealed the coldness she showed in the face of the provocation of the male Alpha. Instead, she described herself as an innocent, poor person who was forced to panic.

This is a half-truth, but it makes sense.

An Jianqing listened carefully and did not find anything wrong.

The trace of doubt she had in her heart was erased by Ning Xuechu's cry.

"Okay, I will handle this matter, you don't have to worry, just continue going to class as usual." An Jianqing said with a chuckle.

Ning Xuechu nodded obediently, the tight string in her mind could finally relax.

Ning Xuechu went to class as usual, and there was nothing wrong with anything around her. Her pushing someone down the stairs was as if it had never happened.

Even the counsellor never went to her again, which meant that An Jianqing had already handled the matter.

Ning Xuechu was completely relieved, and now she no longer has to worry about dropping out of school.

But there was one thing that stuck in her heart like a thorn, making it hard for her to ignore.

The last time An Jianqing noticed something strange, she was temporarily fooled by her crying.

She couldn't make sure that An Jianqing would not suddenly remember one day, she had to do something to clear An Jianqing's doubts.

Ning Xuechu thought about it carefully, opened her phone and glanced at the calendar, she unexpectedly passed a month in Ning's house unknowingly.

In other words, her estrus should be coming, and she should buy an inhibitor.

Ning Xuechu smiled. What could prove that she was an Omega better than the estrus period?

{Sister, I'm going to a nearby bookstore today, so you don't have to pick me up. I'll let Uncle Zhang pick me up when I get there.} Ning Xuechu sent a message.

{Okay.} An Jianqing replied almost in seconds.

Ning Xuechu smiled with satisfaction.

In this way, both An Jianqing and Uncle Zhang knew where she was going, so she had enough time to buy inhibitors.

As soon as the class was over, Ning Xuechu went out immediately, she knew where to buy Omega inhibitors.

She came to a small shop with familiarity, and Ning Xuechu successfully bought a high-quality inhibitor.

In the past, her part-time income was limited and she could only buy cheap inhibitors.

In order not to be discovered, she neither dared to approach Alphas who were of the same type, nor the Omega who was attractive to her. She was always alone and had no friends.

The inhibitor she bought this time was expensive.

The store said that the effect is very good, almost to the point of being fake, and even the estrus of Omega can be simulated.

This also means that after taking it, she can approach An Jianqing more boldly.

Even if you are in heat in front of An Jianqing, you don't have to worry about being seen through.

The cheap inhibitor she bought before didn't have this effect, it just could hide her Alpha pheromones and make her look like an Omega.

Ning Xuechu found a secluded place and skillfully injected herself with inhibitors.

The effect of heat will appear within 24 hours.

Ning Xuechu packed up the needle and called Uncle Zhang with satisfaction.

Sitting in Uncle Zhang's car, she asked with a sweet smile, "Is my sister back?"

"Miss An is already on her way, and it is estimated that she will arrive at about the same time as us." Uncle Zhang replied.

When Ning Xuechu heard the words, the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

She can't wait to tell An Jianqing about her impending estrus, but at the same time, she also knows that acting too deliberately will cause unnecessary trouble.

Ning Xuechu restrained the joy in her heart.

As Uncle Zhang said, as soon as they arrived, An Jianqing's car appeared in sight.

Ning Xuechu got out of the car and stood by with a well-behaved smile.

"Xuechu, it's cold outside, don't wait for me next time." An Jianqing got out of the car and said softly.

Ning Xuechu smiled and nodded.

The two walked side by side into the house. When going up the stairs, Ning Xuechu accidentally slipped and fell to the side.

An Jianqing caught her quickly, "Be careful."

A faint scent of lavender drifted into the nose.

An Jianqing's eyes flashed and she whispered, "Xuechu, come to my room, I have something to tell you."

Ning Xuechu blinked, showing a confused expression.

Following behind An Jianqing, she quietly raised the corner of her mouth.

Just now she inadvertently leaked the smell of pheromones. Seeing An Jianqing's reaction, she must know that she is about to be in heat.

An Jianqing closed the door, looked at Ning Xuechu with a gentle expression, and asked with a smile, "Xuechu, it's been almost a month since you've been here, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Ning Xuechu hurriedly shook her head and replied obediently, "Sister treats me meticulously, everyone treats me very well, I have a good life here."

"That's good." An Jianqing smiled gently and said in the most normal tone possible, "Xuechu, Omega has an estrus period every month, are you also starting it on this day?"

The estrus period is an Omega's secret, generally only close people will know this secret.

During the estrus period, Omegas will use inhibitors to control the pheromone from leaking out or being marked, so that they can participate in work and study normally.

She was actually guessing the estrus period of Ning Xuechu, and she was worried about Ning Xuechu's condition when she asked.

Ning Xuechu blushed and nodded awkwardly, "Sister, don't tell anyone, okay?"

"This is your most important secret, and your sister will not tell outsiders." An Jianqing assured her seriously, and asked a little worriedly, "Have you bought the inhibitor yet?"

"Well, it's all ready. It just so happens that I don't have classes for the next two days, so I can spend this special day well." Ning Xuechu lowered her head and her face turned even redder.

"Okay, if you need any help, just tell sister." An Jianqing felt relieved.

Ning Xuechu heard the words and frowned slightly.

An Alpha's words to Omega can be regarded as a hint in some way, but looking at An Jianqing's expression, she is serious and not ambiguous at all.

As if there was no AO difference between the two.

Ning Xuechu felt strange, but did not ask.

She's not really an Omega, and the more she talks, the more error-prone she becomes.

Her purpose this time is to dispel An Jianqing's doubts and make An Jianqing believe that she is a real Omega.

Now that her purpose has been achieved, she should not be extravagant.

Ning Xuechu returned to the room and smelled the increasingly strong lavender fragrance in the air, feeling a little pity in her heart.

If An Jianqing smells this, maybe she will be attracted to her and further close the relationship between the two.

On her way back, she also thought about seducing An Jianqing directly, but she felt that the time was not ripe enough.

An Jianqing's heart likes another Alpha, not to mention that she is pretending to be an ordinary Omega, and may not be able to seduce successfully.

When she leaked the pheromone, An Jianqing did not respond.

Ning Xuechu thought for a while and took the specific pill given by the shop owner.

The effect is very fast, and within half an hour, the room no longer smells of lavender.

The two-day estrus period, she lived very smoothly, basically only staying in her room and not contacting anyone.

"Xuechu, how were you this weekend?" An Jianqing asked at the breakfast table.

"Thank you, sister. I was alright." Ning Xuechu smiled sweetly and picked up a piece of bread.

An Jianqing nodded and stopped talking about this topic.

Although the people in the villa wouldn't talk nonsense, she didn't want Ning Xuechu's estrus period to be known.

After breakfast, An Jianqing sent Ning Xuechu to school.

Before getting out of the car, An Jianqing warned, "Xuechu, you should pay more attention these two days. Omegas are still at a relatively sensitive stage two days after the estrus period, try not to have too much close contact with Alphas."

"I see, sister." Ning Xuechu agreed obediently, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, how do you know so much?"

An Jianqing was taken aback for a moment, and quickly covered her panic with a smile, "I have a friend who is an expert in this area."

"Expert." Ning Xuechu repeated in a low voice, a little nervousness rising in her heart.

This topic, the two of them have a tacit understanding and no longer talk about it.

Ning Xuechu went to class with peace of mind, the time went by fast, and more than half a month passed.

During the break, Ning Xuechu was sorting out her notes when a scream suddenly broke out in the classroom.

"Look at the number one trending search today, the eldest lady of the Qiu Group is getting engaged in three days."

The class was instantly boiling, and many people stopped what they were doing to look at the hot search.

"It's true, her engagement partner is also a wealthy and high-level Omega. Whether it is appearance or identity, the two are a perfect match."

"I'm lost in love, and my goddess is getting engaged."

"What love is lost, they don't know you at all."

The classroom was intertwined with various voices, and it was so lively that it was noisy.

Ning Xuechu put down her pen, picked up her phone, and clicked on the hot search.

The media used a lot of praise to promote this upcoming engagement banquet, and some big media also forwarded it to promote it.

Ning Xuechu followed the information given by the media to find Qiu Mengxi's socials, and it turned out to be the news of her engagement.

Many people sent blessings below, and it was as lively as an entertainment star's post.

Ning Xuechu looked for a while, but did not find An Jianqing's reply.

She couldn't help but guess that An Jianqing's expression when she knew this information should be shocked and sad.

After all, An Jianqing can let go of the hostility between Alphas and like another Alpha.

Ning Xuechu thought and became depressed.

She thought for a while, dialled An Jianqing's phone number, and after the call was connected, she said happily, "Sister, Miss Qiu is getting engaged. Will you go to the engagement banquet?"

An Jianqing heard the words, her heart seemed to be stabbed, and said with a soft 'um', "Xuechu, is there anything else?"

Hearing the loss and sadness in her words, Ning Xuechu laughed even more happily, and said obediently, "Sister, you are busy. I won't disturb you."

Hanging up the phone, Ning Xuchu started the class, but she couldn't concentrate at all, her mind was full of An Jianqing's lost voice.

She played with the pen in her hand and kept spinning, and the pen landed on the ground with a 'click'.

Ning Xuechu bent over to pick up the pen, tilted her head and accidentally saw the girl next to her crying silently while covering her mouth.

Will An Jianqing hide and cry like this?

Ning Xuechu suddenly had this idea in her heart, and she couldn't help but imagine An Jianqing crying.

She should be happy when An Jianqing is disappointed in love. How can she feel blocked because she thinks of that woman crying and being sad?

Her heart twitched suddenly, and an indescribable depression swept through her body.

Ning Xuechu was irritable, suppressed the strangeness in her heart and concentrated on listening to the lecture.

The pen fell on the paper, I should be taking notes in class, but the word that came out was 'An Jianqing'.

Ning Xuechu was so annoyed, she tore off the page, kneaded it into a ball, and put it in her pocket.

Returning to the villa in a depressed mood, Ning Xuechu found that An Jianqing's car was parked in front of the door, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Sister An?" Ning Xuechu asked.

"Miss An is not feeling well today. She has gone back to her room to rest. You should have dinner first." Aunt Lian said and asked again, "Miss Ning, do you want to eat now?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go find Sister An." Ning Xuchu said, and walked upstairs.

"Miss Ning, Miss An said she wants to rest, and no one should disturb her." Aunt Lian hurriedly stopped her.

When Ning Xuechu heard the words, a burst of anger rose in her heart, she suppressed her anger and stopped.

The people in the villa respect An Jianqing very much. As long as it is An Jianqing's order, they will do it truthfully and dare not disobey at all.

Ning Xuechu wanted to play a well-behaved and obedient role. At this time, she could not go against An Jianqing's will.

Enduring anger, after dinner, Ning Xuechu returned to the room.

On the balcony, she saw An Jianqing wearing thin pyjamas, staring at the dark night sky outside.

Ning Xuechu just wanted to speak out, but An Jianqing had already turned around and entered the room, so she had to swallow her words.

A knock on the door came, Ning Xuechu was overjoyed and hurried to open the door.

When she saw Aunt Lian, she couldn't hide her disappointment, and asked with a smile, "Aunt Lian, what's the matter?"

"I saw Miss An go to the warehouse just now. She was wearing thin clothes and no one could follow..."

"I'll find her." Ning Xuechu said immediately.
