After a Disabled Alpha Marked a Yandere Female Lead - Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Sunlight poured in, driving away the remaining warmth of the night.
Dappled shadows were cast on the marble floor, and the shadows of green plants swayed outside the window. A dry, clear atmosphere filled the room.
Only then did Zhu Qingluo have time to notice the layout of the bedroom.
The style of the rooms in the villa was more or less the same, with an overall gray and white tone. They were neat and clean, but exuded a certain sense of dullness.
Zhu Qingluo looked down, and the woman was lying on her lap.
When she was asleep, her expression became more gentle and harmless.
Zhu Qingluo’s body had remained in this position for most of the night and was now stiff.
She first moved her hands. Her fingers were fair and slender in the sunlight.
Perhaps she was used to it, as her fingers were relaxed and nimble instead.
Zhu Qingluo’s gaze moved down, landing on the front of her body.
Jiang Yun’s dark hair was a little messy, with a few strands intertwined and hanging on her pants.
A familiar “thing” was half-exposed on the other person’s neck, covered by a wisp of hair. She couldn’t help but reach out to check it.
At that moment, Jiang Yun seemed to show signs of waking up.
Jiang Yun’s arm was pulled back from her lap, creating some distance, and then she lifted her eyelids.
There was no warmth in her eyes.
Zhu Qingluo’s hand froze in mid-air, then she put it down as if nothing had happened.
“What happened yesterday was my mistake… will you forgive me?”
“…”
Jiang Yun got up from the thick carpet, hugged her arms, and stared at Zhu Qingluo for a while.
Her expression was languid, as if she didn’t care about this matter.
“You should leave.”
After a night of intimacy, the corners of Jiang Yun’s eyes were flushed with a hint of red, and her voice was low and hoarse.
As soon as she finished speaking, the other person’s face changed slightly.
Zhu Qingluo looked away, feeling a strange sense of guilt.
She felt that the other person’s performance was too calm, and she couldn’t see through her thoughts. A thought suddenly popped into her mind:
Perhaps, she hadn’t reacted yet?
Zhu Qingluo didn’t try to verify it and followed the steps the other party gave her.
She placed her hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, turned around, and paused slightly. In her peripheral vision, she could only see the other person’s cold back.
So, Zhu Qingluo turned and left, just like she did last night.
Jiang Yun suddenly turned her face and caught a glimpse of her straight back as her figure disappeared at the door.
She looked away and walked toward the bathroom.
Jiang Yun took off her nightgown and looked at herself in the mirror.
There were some marks on her body. The red marks were particularly obvious on her snow-white skin, and it was impossible to tell when they had been left.
Jiang Yun turned her face, revealing her neck. On the back, there was a bite mark.
It was right in the middle of her scent gland.
The pain from being bitten last night was still fresh in her memory.
…
In the afternoon, the weather was sunny.
Zhu Qingluo passed through the living room and took a few glances.
Both sides were empty, and the door upstairs was always closed. Not even the butler could be seen coming out.
Just then, the butler came up to her.
“Good afternoon, Miss Zhu,” the butler said politely when he saw her.
Zhu Qingluo nodded slightly and asked about Jiang Yun’s current situation.
The butler’s gaze toward her became a little meaningful, and he replied, “There’s nothing wrong. This is relatively normal for someone who has gone through the susceptible period.”
Zhu Qingluo didn’t go back to her room all night yesterday.
This was beneficial for an Omega to get through the susceptible period, but it consumed a lot of energy, and Jiang Yun would inevitably resent her even more.
Zhu Qingluo didn’t care about her thoughts; she was just casually asking.
She was about to turn the wheelchair around when she suddenly remembered something. She acted nonchalant and said:
“By the way, I have to go out today. I heard you’ve already arranged everything for me?”
“Yes,” the butler said, his face a little unnatural.
“I don’t quite understand.”
The butler’s tone was flat and he raised his voice, “Assistant Wu will pick you up in two hours.”
Zhu Qingluo suddenly understood.
After a while, the butler still couldn’t help but say sternly:
“I had my own opinions about you before, but please don’t let your guard down. Miss will do this only because it is in her own interest at the moment.”
“Hmm.” Zhu Qingluo made a gesture of agreement. “I know this is also your ‘opinion.'”
“…”
The sentence sounded awkward, and the butler didn’t respond with a sullen face.
Zhu Qingluo returned to her room and tidied up simply.
Before she was ready to leave, Jiang Yun had not woken up, so she left without hesitation.
The sun was bright, and the grass was long and the warblers were flying.
At this time, a car was parked outside the villa. A young woman got out of the driver’s seat.
She was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and was dressed smartly. When she saw Zhu Qingluo appear, she trotted over.
With her help, Zhu Qingluo got into the back seat of the car.
It should have been their first meeting, but she felt that this Assistant Wu was exceptionally friendly.
“Miss Zhu, let’s confirm the address information.” Assistant Wu adjusted her glasses and asked her, getting down to business without any fuss.
“Okay.”
After confirming that the address was correct, Assistant Wu started the car.
Zhu Qingluo couldn’t help but look out the car window. The outline of the villa behind her gradually disappeared.
It had been so long since she came to this world, and it was the first time she “walked” out, so her mood was a little different.
“Mr. Jiang rarely cares about anyone so much. She even told me to take good care of you.”
Upon hearing the other person’s words, Zhu Qingluo’s expression paused slightly.
Of course, Jiang Yun “cared” about her, but it was only because she had no other Alpha to choose from.
“I heard you’re looking for a location for your studio. I know a lot about this area, and if you need it, I can offer some shallow suggestions.”
Zhu Qingluo was a little interested in this and asked:
“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you to help me take a look at the one in the west side…”
She didn’t doubt Assistant Wu’s work ability and asked her about the destination of this trip.
Assistant Wu smiled and said:
“It’s hard to say… You’ll know when you get there.”
Her ambiguous tone was also a bit mysterious.
Zhu Qingluo had heard that there were many rules in the industry, and some things could not be stated directly, so she listed this address as a key observation object.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
Assistant Wu’s gaze naturally looked at the rearview mirror and noticed Zhu Qingluo’s face and her overall demeanor.
She heard that the disabled eldest daughter of the Zhu family, who was married to Mr. Jiang, was full of scandals in the industry and had suffered a huge mental blow. Since then, she had never appeared in front of people.
Assistant Wu was originally cautious, fearing that she would offend her.
Now, it seemed she was in the mood… to play games?
Because the journey was a bit long, Zhu Qingluo opened a match-three game to pass the time.
She tapped the phone screen, making a three-match combo. The sound of the bubbles was crisp.
About thirty minutes later.
The car drove into the commercial center of the city. The surroundings were bustling, and people were in a hurry.
Zhu Qingluo felt as if she was in another world and couldn’t help but feel a little lost.
In front of a building, the car stopped. Assistant Wu got out of the car and walked around to the other side to open the car door for her.
After Zhu Qingluo got out of the car, Assistant Wu asked thoughtfully:
“Do you need me to go in with you?”
Zhu Qingluo thought for a moment, “No, I won’t be long.”
Assistant Wu did not insist. She watched her back go away and then got back into the car.
Inside the building.
There were few people inside, and the money tree at the front desk was a little yellow.
Zhu Qingluo stopped the wheelchair and took out her phone to confirm again, finding that she had not gone to the wrong place.
She waited for a while and suddenly saw a man on her left, with his hands on his hips, chatting with the girl at the front desk.
Zhu Qingluo looked away, thinking it wasn’t him.
However, just as she was about to look for others, the man suddenly noticed her.
The other person turned around and walked over. He had a poorly fitting suit, a bright yellow tie, and some hair gel. At first glance, he looked like a proper person.
“Hey, I’m Xiaozhong, what do I call you?”
Zhu Qingluo’s step paused, “Xiaozhong?”
“Zhong, Zhuangzhong.”
“Xiaozhuang?”
Xiaozhuang nodded, revealing a standard smile.
This time, Zhu Qingluo also recognized him. This was the agent she had chatted with a while ago.
The other party enthusiastically led her to sit down, his eyes sparkling.
To choose a location in this area of City A, one had to be a particularly well-off person, which was rare. Therefore, if they showed that they were too easy to deal with, such customers would think it was not worth it.
Xiaozhuang had been in real estate for many years and knew this principle well. So he played the long game and finally caught this “big fish.”
As soon as Zhu Qingluo sat down, several pages of introductory books were placed in front of her.
“Look, this is Area D next to the Buddha-given enterprise in the east, that’s Area P attached to the Yoyin Group in the north, and this one is even better…”
Listening to the other person’s eloquent speech, Zhu Qingluo couldn’t help but look a little confused.
She carefully identified what Xiaozhuang was saying: the D area was a technology company, and the P area was a pharmaceutical group.
“Wait.” She interrupted the other party, pointing to one of the introduction books, “I remember I came to see this place.”
“Hey, you’re all tired, why not look at a few more!”
Zhu Qingluo paused, then suddenly looked embarrassed, “I’ve already discussed it with my friends, and only this place meets my requirements.”
The other person was silent for a moment.
Xiaozhuang was also secretly wondering, was she broke?
Originally, he had planned to make a huge profit, but now it seemed that this “big order” would fall through.
Maybe he realized this, and the enthusiasm on Xiaozhuang’s face immediately faded.
In the follow-up, Xiaozhuang no longer pushed other businesses but signed the subsequent contract with her at lightning speed. After paying the deposit, he gave Zhu Qingluo the key.
The tea on the table was also cold.
At this time, there were more customers in the building, and the sound in the air was a bit noisy.
Zhu Qingluo looked up and took back her gaze indifferently.
She didn’t stay here but turned the wheelchair around, ready to leave. Suddenly, in her peripheral vision, she caught a glimpse of the crowd.
There was a middle-aged man with a plump figure, drinking and chatting with the people around him.
The woman next to him smiled and motioned to him. The man looked surprised and turned back to look.
There were a lot of customers in the building, and Zhu Qingluo, sitting in a wheelchair, could easily be swallowed up by the crowd. She thought so at first.
Until she heard heavy footsteps following closely behind her.
“Xiaoluo, stop!”
Zhu Qingluo turned a deaf ear and continued to move forward.
When he chased her to the door, the man behind her ran around in a single step, blocking her way, out of breath and holding his knees.
There was no one nearby, so he didn’t have to worry about losing face.
The man raised an indignant face and said to her, “Good, you’ve grown up. You’ve even forgotten who you are.”
Zhu Qingluo had just recognized him. This was her father, Zhu Jianghai.
“You little brat, you’ve gotten pretty capable, huh, you even dared to blacklist my number.” Zhu Jianghai pointed at her, about to complain about her various unfilial acts over the past few days.
“How did you know I was here?” Zhu Qingluo said in a cold voice.
She didn’t believe it was such a coincidence that she “ran into” Zhu Jianghai here.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianghai’s face froze.
Looking at Zhu Qingluo’s cold gaze, he was a little flustered. Then a wave of annoyance welled up in his heart, and his face suddenly turned gloomy.
Zhu Jianghai put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth in front of her.
“Don’t use that tone to talk to your father. If I don’t find a way, where can I find you when the family needs you?”
He did find a way to track Zhu Qingluo’s movements and waited for her to appear here in advance.
Hearing this, Zhu Qingluo’s expression became even colder.
“But when I needed you, you pushed me out.”
Since she became disabled, the Zhu family had basically given up on her, leaving the family property to their younger daughter and planning a good marriage for her.
She was just barely alive every day, and in the end, she was “sold” for a contract.
Looking back at the tragic past, Zhu Qingluo even wondered if she was her biological parents’ child.
At this time, Zhu Jianghai might also feel guilty.
He looked sad, watching his daughter in front of him, who was his first child, but was drifting further and further away from him.
Zhu Jianghai’s eyes filled with regret, and he couldn’t help but sigh:
“Xiaoluo, I’ve been busy with work all these years and neglected you in life. This is my sin… I sincerely hope that you can let go of the things in front of you.”
