Chapter 22

The Qiu family's engagement banquet was very grand, and all the people who came to attend were rich or noble.

Ning Xuechu followed An Jianqing in, and everyone passed by with strangely curious eyes.

Ning Xuechu understood that those people were wondering how she, an ordinary Omega, could participate in the banquet of the high society.

"Sister, why are they staring at me all the time?" Ning Xuechu asked in a low voice, fear hiding in her eyes.

An Jianqing smiled lightly and comforted, "It's alright, don't worry about it."

Ning Xuechu will have to experience this kind of eyes in the future, so it would be better to take her out to experience it earlier.

This is why she agreed to bring Ning Xuechu over.

Many people present knew An Jianqing and greeted An Jianqing one after another.

An Jianqing was beaming and replied with a smile.

Qiu Mengxi stood on the second floor and looked at the woman downstairs talking and laughing with a gloomy expression.

She said, "Please invite Miss An to come over, as long as she is alone."

"Yes, Miss."

An Jianqing was chatting with people and looked to the second floor as if sensing something, but did not see anyone.

She looked back and accidentally saw a person walking towards her, the target was obviously her.

"Miss An, please come alone."

Hearing this, An Jianqing smiled lightly, "You should tell Miss Qiu that I am here with someone. If she wants to invite me, she should of course invite us both."

Ning Xuechu nodded in agreement, carefully holding An Jianqing's arm, as if afraid of being left behind.

This scene fell into the eyes of others, causing a burst of sighs.

Many people know that An Jianqing is extremely self-contained and never gets close to any Omegas, as if she is not affected by Omega.

Now, an ordinary Omega is allowed to approach, and everyone can't help but start to wonder about Ning Xuechu's identity.

In an instant, more and more eyes fell on Ning Xuechu, she could not help shrinking and leaned closer to An Jianqing.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are like a couple, but An Jianqing didn't say it publicly, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

In five minutes, the man came again and said respectfully, "Miss, please come over."

"Yes." An Jianqing nodded lightly and led Ning Xuechu forward.

They were led to a lounge, which belonged to the VIP reception hall, and Qiu Mengxi had been waiting for a long time.

"Mengxi, congratulations." An Jianqing took the initiative to reach out and said with a smile.

"Miss Qiu, congratulations." Ning Xuechu followed with a bright smile.

Seeing the cooperation between the two of them, Qiu Mengxi was unhappy, but today was an important day, and she had to perform flawlessly.

"Thank you, Jianqing, I didn't expect you to come, I thought you didn't want to come." 

Qiu Mengxi said with a smile, the last sentence was affectionate.

An Jianqing naturally understood the meaning of the words, and looked at Qiu Mengxi with magnanimous eyes, "We have known each other for so many years, we are good friends. Today is your important day, why wouldn't I come?"

She deliberately emphasized the words 'good friend'.

Qiu Mengxi heard this, a gloomy look flashed on her face, but soon returned to normal.

She was about to speak again when someone pushed in the door, it was a beautiful Omega.

It is Qiu Mengxi's engagement partner.

"Why are you here? Help me to see which jewellery I should wear." The Omega said happily and directly pulled Qiu Mengxi out.

Before going out, Qiu Mengxi looked back at An Jianqing.

To her disappointment, there was no longer the familiar sadness in those eyes.

At this moment, Qiu Mengxi felt a little panicked, as if she had lost something she thought she would never lose.

"Baby, I have something to deal with, you go and wait for me first, okay?" Qiu Mengxi kissed Omega's face and coaxed softly.

"Well, you have to come quickly, I'm still waiting for you to choose jewellery for me." The Omega said softly.

"Yes, my future wife." Qiu Mengxi said with a smile.

Across a door, An Jianqing could not see the situation over there, but she could clearly hear the perfunctory and hypocrisy in her words.

After a while, Qiu Mengxi re-entered the door, glanced sharply at Ning Xuechu, and then looked at An Jianqing, "I have something to talk to you about, alone."

When she spoke, she looked serious and put away her usual cynicism.

An Jianqing immediately understood that it was time to resolve the matter that had not been mentioned again.

She turned to look at Ning Xuechu, "You wait for me outside, I'll be there soon."

Ning Xuechu heard the words, her eyes were full of worry, and she prayed, "Sister, you must come out quickly."

An Jianqing smiled soothingly.

Ning Xuechu went out with an uneasy heart and deliberately slowed down when the door closed.

With a 'bang', the door was closed.

Qiu Mengxi's pent-up anger broke out instantly, staring at An Jianqing tightly, "I'm engaged, are your blessings sincere?"

"Naturally." An Jianqing looked at each other fearlessly, "We are friends, I am naturally happy for you."

"Don't you..." The word 'jealousy' stopped on her lips, and Qiu Mengxi held it back.

The engagement was originally just a whim, and she wanted to test An Jianqing's reaction, but the picture she expected did not appear at all.

On the contrary, she herself, is furious and jealous.

An Jianqing looked at the woman who couldn't control her anger and wrote jealousy on her face, her expression still calm.

She said lightly, "Sometimes things don't have to be attached to life. When it's time to let go, you should naturally let go. Everyone has more important things to do."

"You mean, she is more important than me?" Qiu Mengxi asked loudly, no longer as elegant and confident as usual.

The rose scent with the smell of red wine suddenly appeared in the room, obviously, Qiu Mengxi lost control of her emotions and released her pheromones.

An Jianqing tilted her head and lowered her eyes, not wanting to talk about this topic.

The room fell silent for a while.

Silence is the best answer, Qiu Mengxi sneered twice and went out angrily. When she passed by Ning Xuechu, her eyes were cold and full of disgust.

Ning Xuechu didn't panic at all and looked ignorant and innocent.

Smelling the smell of the pheromones in the air, she frowned slightly. Just as she was about to go in to find An Jianqing, she saw An Jianqing running out in a panic.

"Xuechu, are you alright? This is an S-level alpha pheromone, I'll find an inhibitor for you."

Hearing this, Ning Xuechu immediately realized that this pheromone could make her, an ordinary Omega, go into heat.

In other words, she is going to play the estrus drama again.

Only, this time it was in front of another Alpha.
