Accidentally Marked My Ex’s Powerful Sister (GL, ABO) - Chapter 6
Since Yu Li took the helm at Yu’s Jewelry, she had personally modeled the annual promotional posters, wearing that year’s signature collection.
Initially, it was to save costs when they couldn’t afford celebrity endorsements. But over time, it became Yu’s Jewelry’s distinctive style.
On the massive billboard outside Yu’s headquarters, Yu Li wore an exquisite gold-embellished mermaid gown, adorned with the season’s flagship collection, the “Unparalleled” yellow diamond series. Radiant with jewels, she exuded elegance, sensuality, and an icy allure that was breathtaking yet intimidating, making people both yearn to gaze longer and hesitate to do so.
No one dared touch that billboard. It was meticulously maintained, pristine as new, illuminated even at night, standing as the most eye-catching centerpiece of the entire complex.
But the rain paid no heed. It mercilessly lashed against the cold, beautiful face on the poster, the wind driving the downpour relentlessly against the billboard until the steel frame rattled violently, as if threatening to shake it apart.
The rain poured all night. Finally, as dawn approached, the steel frame loosened, and a corner of the massive billboard snapped, sagging limply.
The distortion of the poster, combined with the rainwater glistening on its surface, made the icy beauty’s expression appear almost pitifully fragile.
“This damage is perfect no need to repair it. We’ll just reshoot. Xiao Xi, once your brother is elected, we’ll replace that poster with you. The most beautiful dress, the most expensive jewelry, all yours.” As their car approached Yu’s headquarters, Yu Qi chuckled at the sight of the drooping billboard and turned to his younger sister, Yu Li.
Meanwhile, Yu Li remained trapped in the isolation room, where the pheromone concentration still hadn’t normalized.
Hong Kong’s most notorious paparazzi lurked near the hotel, ready to break the news.
With Yu Li’s team unable to reach her, chaos ensued.
By transforming herself into the face of Yu’s Jewelry stepping from behind the scenes into the spotlight, Yu Li had drawn intense media scrutiny. But that fame came with a price.
For the sake of the brand’s image, someone embroiled in scandal could no longer hold that position.
Yu Qi was in high spirits. Without Yu Li around, everything became much easier.
Beside him, Yu Li looked weary. The birthday banquet had drained her energy, and the temporary mark on her gland still caused discomfort. It wasn’t as pleasant as she’d imagined.
She had wanted to rest for a few days, but Yu Qi insisted she attend the shareholders’ meeting as a minor shareholder, her vote mattered.
At his words, Yu Li pressed her lips together, staring at the ruined billboard. This was always when envy for Yu Li burned strongest in her heart.
If only it could really happen that way…
As Yu Li followed Yu Qi into Yu’s headquarters, about ten kilometers away in an isolation room at the Hilton Hotel, Ye Zhixun, who usually woke around six, had just opened her eyes.
Her mind was blissfully blank, her body relaxed and at ease, as if she’d soaked in a hot spring in winter, every pore unburdened, all worries cast aside. Her soul floated like a bubble blown by a child, drifting aimlessly.
“Mmm…”
A low, drawn-out moan reached e Zhixun’s ears and just like that, the drifting bubble pop, burst.
A slightly cool hand rested on her waist. As Ye Zhixun shifted slightly, the hand seemed dissatisfied and tightened its grip, pulling a soft body closer. The soft hair brushing against her chin tickled, while the scent of roses mixed with citrus and a hint of creamy sweetness filled her nose richer and more textured than the expensive Geisha coffee beans Ye Zhixun had once bought.
For a few seconds, Ye Zhixun’s senses were overwhelmed, then something exploded in her mind, leaving her dizzy with a kaleidoscope of colors. A flood of information crashed into her, throwing her thoughts into chaos.
The person in her arms felt like a hot potato. Ye Zhixun immediately let go and scrambled backward until her back hit the cold wall. Putting distance between them only made her more frantic, her mind on the verge of splitting apart.
The woman curled up on the bed had long hair covering her face and no clothes, revealing fair skin marked with red traces and curves that could rival a masterpiece. Ye Zhixun averted her eyes, fumbling to find something to cover her.
[What the hell is going on? What sin have I committed?!]
[What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?!]
[How could something like this happen in a proper isolation room?!]
[I should turn myself in to the police.]
[If I go to prison, what will happen to Grandma? She’ll be heartbroken.]
[But if I don’t, am I just going to become a fugitive?]
The voices in Ye Zhixun’s head clashed violently. Her emotions had never been this turbulent, her mind never this loud. Her usually calm inner world now felt like a screaming chicken had been unleashed.
It never crossed her mind that she might be the victim because the fragmented memories pieced together showed her acting like a ravenous wolf, taking advantage of the omega woman before her. The most damning evidence? The love bites on the woman’s skin.
Ye Zhixun was already envisioning life behind bars when the woman she had covered with a thin blanket stirred awake. Pushing her hair aside, she revealed an exquisitely beautiful face, though her frown and the oppressive aura she radiated made it hard for Ye Zhixun to breathe.
Crack.
Ye Zhixun could almost hear her soul shattering into pieces.
The woman in front of her was none other than, Yu Li!
That terrifying woman!
[Help! Help! HELP!]
[Someone save me, save me, SAVE ME!]
The little voice in Ye Zhixun’s head turned into a screaming chicken again.
She had heard from Yu Li that an alpha who once acted inappropriately toward Yu Li had soon found himself with his hands chopped off, tied to a rock, and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
So now, it wasn’t just a matter of prison, it was a matter of survival.
She had touched Yu Li with both hands. No, worse her mouth, her legs, practically every part of her had made contact with Yu Li…
She was probably going to be dismembered and dumped into the ocean.
Ye Zhixun’s face turned ashen.
Why had she been so impulsive and taken that damn drug? Why hadn’t she gone to a proper hospital? Why…?
Yu Li’s gaze landed on Ye Zhixun, her expression dark with sleep-deprived irritation. She had only slept for about an hour and was still exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open.
But seeing Ye Zhixun’s stunned, wide-eyed look her pupils practically vibrating, Yu Li’s grumpiness eased slightly.
Although she had taken the initiative at first, the control quickly shifted to the young alpha before her.
She had been tormented for quite a while, and the other party looked utterly shocked, her face pale with fear, as if she had only just remembered something her entire demeanor suggesting she hadn’t been fully conscious during the whole ordeal.
Yu Li, however, had remained completely lucid the entire time.
Appearances could be deceiving. This seemingly honest, pitiful little thing, once driven by her alpha instincts, had turned into a fierce little beast.
And this little beast had no idea what she was doing, acting recklessly.
Her strength was overwhelming, too.
Yu Li had been bitten quite badly.
The sting at her neck had turned into a deep ache in her flesh, and pain radiated throughout her body. Yet, the discomfort from the heat cycle that had plagued her for days had lessened considerably.
All in all, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, though there was still plenty of room for improvement.
Ye Zhixun looked utterly lost and terrified. Yu Li was about to say something when she suddenly saw Ye Zhixun stand up and bow deeply at a ninety-degree angle.
“Sister, I’m sorry!”
Her voice trembled as she spoke.
Ye Zhixun felt certain she was doomed this time. But the thought of dying so young was unbearable her grandmother would be left grieving, and that was just too tragic.
No matter what, as long as Yu Li spared her life, she was willing to do anything to atone.
Hearing Ye Zhixun’s voice, Yu Li recalled their few previous encounters. Whenever the girl had no way to avoid her, she would greet her with polite restraint, like a student nervously facing a teacher.
Yu Li had introduced them, instructing Ye Zhixun to address her as “sister,” and she had always done so, each time with poorly concealed tension. But now, she seemed more frightened than ever.
The delicate wings of her shoulder blades trembled faintly, as if ready to sprout.
Ye Zhixun hadn’t had time to put on clothes yet.
Yu Li’s gaze traveled over her from her feet, up her long, toned legs, past her slender, powerful waist, to the arms that had held her so firmly…
Most importantly, her pheromones were a perfect match.
Compared to the omega suppressants Yu Li had tried before, the difference was like night and day.
Once you’ve tasted something this good, the thought of going back to those bitter suppressants and high-concentration inhibitors was unbearable.
This alpha seemed like a gift from fate itself.
Yu Li never let opportunities slip by.
And if none presented themselves, she created her own.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pulled the nearly bankrupt Yu Jewelry from the brink and turned it into the crown jewel of Hong Kong’s jewelry industry.
“Sister, I don’t know how this happened, and nothing I say can make up for the harm I’ve caused you. I’ll turn myself in to the police. As long as you spare my life, I’ll do anything to atone for my mistakes. I’ll do whatever you ask!”
Ye Zhixun remained in her deep bow as she spoke.
“…” Yu Li frowned at her words.
Spare her life?
When had she ever threatened to take it?
If she really believed her life was at stake, why would she “confess” like this?
“Find some clothes first,” Yu Li said after a pause, her voice hoarse, as if strained from overuse.
Only then did Ye Zhixun remember.
Both she and Yu Li were still completely naked.
And when she had bowed just now, she’d done it bare-assed!
She must have used up a lifetime’s worth of shame in this single day.
Frantic, Ye Zhixun scrambled to gather their scattered clothes.
As she picked them up, embarrassment burned through her.
Yu Li’s clothes, including her undergarments, had been torn to shreds.
Her stockings were ripped with several holes, and the elegant white dress she’d been seen wearing in the hotel lobby earlier though relatively sturdy had lost its buttons.
Ye Zhixun’s athletic wear had fared better, though it was now stained with…
Fortunately, she had a spare set of clothes in her bag for the birthday banquet.
But Yu Li had nothing to wear.
“I’m sorry your clothes were ruined. Please wear mine for now, they’re clean,” Ye Zhixun obediently offered her spare outfit to Yu Li.
She would make do with the soiled clothes herself.
“Thank you,” Yu Li said after a pause, accepting them.
Ye Zhixun’s clothes carried no scent of pheromones, just a clean, sunlit freshness.
The isolation room had a shower, but Yu Li couldn’t muster even a shred of strength, especially in her legs, standing was a struggle.
Slowly, she dressed in Ye Zhixun’s clothes.
The pant legs and sleeves were a bit long, but the bust was too tight, pressing uncomfortably against her.
At this point, Yu Li didn’t care whether the clothes fit properly or not.
By the time she finished dressing, Ye Zhixun had already cleaned up the mess on the floor.
“Could you hand me my wristwatch from the floor?” Yu Li spotted it once the scattered clothes were cleared.
The watch from last night had initially been set to its electric shock function.
Later, Yu Li had turned it off.
It had still been on her wrist by midnight, but when that brat tried to kiss her, even the watch wasn’t spared, it had been yanked off and tossed aside.
She wasn’t sure if it was broken.
Following Yu Li’s request, Ye Zhixun immediately picked up the watch and handed it to her, along with a bottle of water from the isolation room.
Yu Li noticed that Ye Zhixun had unscrewed the cap before passing it to her, and the bottle felt warm to the touch.
Quite observant.
Without hesitation, Yu Li took a sip to soothe her hoarse, ruined voice, then flipped open the watch cover and dialed her emergency contact.
