After a Disabled Alpha Marked a Yandere Female Lead - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: VIP

Zhu Qingluo found it a little strange. She didn’t understand Jiang Yun’s intentions. “I brought you out here without telling the Zhu family. The relationship between our two families has become strained recently. We should find a time to meet.”

“You want to come home with me?” Zhu Qingluo’s eyes showed confusion, thinking she was joking. She frowned, glancing at Jiang Yun, whose expression was unclear in the dim light. “It might not be appropriate… If Zhu Jianghai tries to find you again, don’t show him any mercy.”

“You sound very much against them?” Jiang Yun’s voice rose slightly, with a faint hint of a smile. They were family, yet her attitude was always to avoid them.

Sensing Jiang Yun’s meaningful gaze, Zhu Qingluo’s voice paused before she explained, “To be honest, I already gave Zhu Jianghai a benefit before I came. He shouldn’t be bothering you again.” The air was silent for a moment.

“Why are you suddenly bringing this up?” Zhu Qingluo asked cautiously. Even the last time they met, Jiang Yun’s attitude toward Zhu Jianghai seemed indifferent, and she never mentioned him again. But tonight, she brought him up in this setting.

“Don’t be nervous.”

Zhu Qingluo couldn’t help but turn her head, instinctively defending herself. “I’m not…”

Then, she felt something cool on her brow. Jiang Yun’s thumb gently brushed the wrinkle between her eyebrows, exposing her nervous state. It was then that Zhu Qingluo realized her forehead was sweaty, so she said nothing.

The air was still for a while. In the darkness, their breathing was clear, but Zhu Qingluo wasn’t paying attention. Instead, she was replaying Jiang Yun’s words in her mind. As she fell into thought, the gaze next to her was still watching. A flash of obscurity passed through Jiang Yun’s eyes. She knew Zhu Qingluo wasn’t lying, but she wasn’t being completely honest either.

Jiang Yun lowered her eyelashes and put her hand back under the blanket. Her voice was full of meaning. “Even if the Zhu family has their own agenda, it’s only human nature. Since you’re right by my side, how could it possibly involve you?”

“By my side.” Those words seemed to carry weight, settling on Zhu Qingluo’s heart. “Mmm,” she answered absently, sounding like she was tired. They were so close, especially Jiang Yun, who was speaking right next to her ear. Anyone who didn’t know them would think they were whispering sweet nothings. The heat from another person was unbearable, and Zhu Qingluo felt a little uncomfortable.

“Do we have to sleep like this?” she said, pursing her lips.

“Is something wrong with it?”

Of course there was.

“What do you think is the right way to sleep?”

“You should go back…” Zhu Qingluo turned her head, trying to look at Jiang Yun’s original spot, but her lips accidentally brushed Jiang Yun’s cheek. She froze, realizing Jiang Yun hadn’t moved. Zhu Qingluo put her hand on Jiang Yun’s shoulder and pushed a little, but didn’t push her away.

Just as she was in a difficult position, Jiang Yun made a move to get out of the blanket. Zhu Qingluo thought she was going back to her side and didn’t stop her. But Jiang Yun simply propped herself up on her elbows. Then, she flipped over and pressed on top of Zhu Qingluo, her knees on either side of her waist, barely touching her. A spark of tension flashed in the air. Due to some mental considerations, Jiang Yun was careful to avoid her chest, preventing any injury from the pressure.

Under this offensive, Zhu Qingluo had nowhere to escape. Jiang Yun’s hair hung down, brushing against her cheek, making it feel a little itchy. The voice from above held a laugh and said half-jokingly, “Do you want to change to this position?”

In this situation, being so close was no “better” than before. Jiang Yun’s unique omega scent lingered in the air. This was actually very “dangerous.” Alarm bells went off in Zhu Qingluo’s head. She controlled her primal urges and calmed herself. According to their agreement, outside of the susceptible period, no matter the reason, she could not have any intimate contact with Jiang Yun.

A sliver of moonlight poured through the window. At that moment, she met a pair of sparkling eyes. “You just secretly kissed me.”

Zhu Qingluo blinked, instinctively retorting, “No.”

“No? Well, how about this…” Jiang Yun’s tone was unhappy. She lowered her eyes, staring at Zhu Qingluo’s face. Then, she pinched Zhu Qingluo’s chin, turning her face to the side as if deciding where to “take a bite.” Zhu Qingluo’s breathing caught. The hand on her face felt restless. The subtle, cool temperature of Jiang Yun’s fingertips brought a refreshing, comfortable feeling. But when that hand changed direction, it provocatively brushed her ear.

Zhu Qingluo felt a restlessness in her heart. Her bl00d began to rush and boil, stimulating her body’s senses in the quiet environment. Her breathing became a little hot, but she still maintained her composure. Jiang Yun noticed but had no intention of stopping. A hint of coldness flashed in Zhu Qingluo’s eyes. She raised her hand and wrapped it around Jiang Yun’s waist, pulling her forward suddenly. Jiang Yun was unprepared and looked stunned. When she touched her, the speed of her heartbeat transmitted, disrupting the atmosphere. Jiang Yun lay on top of her and glanced down at the blanket, her eyes a little dark.

She might be crushing her legs… So, she asked in a questioning tone, “What are you doing?”

“If you can’t sleep, I’ll play whatever game you want.”

Jiang Yun was silent for a moment. Then, she recovered. Zhu Qingluo knew she had sleeping problems. “But doing things like this won’t help with sleep at all,” Zhu Qingluo said calmly. At this moment, Jiang Yun felt her body temperature rise sharply. She was still on top of Zhu Qingluo. Not only were they in skin-to-skin contact, but she could also clearly smell the scent of her pheromones. Moreover, their current position looked like Zhu Qingluo had willingly pulled her into her arms. Jiang Yun’s breathing unconsciously slowed down. A hint of longing welled up inside her. She pressed her ear to Zhu Qingluo’s chest, hearing a strong heartbeat.

Zhu Qingluo might have said something else, but it all became a blur. Because the only clear sound in the night was her own heart beating. “I’m following the terms of the agreement. If you keep… violating the rules, we will both be… in danger.”

Zhu Qingluo was right. She was even more excited now. The “game” tonight had gone a little too far. The different pheromones in the air collided, creating a chemical reaction. The atmosphere grew more intense and uncontrollable.

After a long time, their eyes met. Jiang Yun, who hadn’t said a word, suddenly got up from on top of Zhu Qingluo. She sat on the edge of the bed and straightened her slightly disheveled, curly hair. However, just as she was about to get up, a hand covered the back of hers. Jiang Yun’s back was to her, and a spark ignited in her eyes. The physical urge she had yet to suppress seemed to be flaring up again. She couldn’t hold back.

Jiang Yun didn’t get up and leave. Her voice was a little hoarse, and she chuckled softly. “Don’t you like what I’m doing to you?”

Zhu Qingluo was speechless. Here we go again. She instinctively raised her hand, pretending nothing had happened, and pulled it back under the covers. But Jiang Yun turned her head, looking at her with confusion. Zhu Qingluo met her gaze. After a moment, she explained, “I was just going to say that long-term use of medication can be addictive. It’s best not to take it if you don’t have to… Of course, that’s just my personal advice.” She remembered that there was a time when Jiang Yun needed medication to sleep. She figured that since Jiang Yun couldn’t sleep, she didn’t want her to sleep either. And now, she was getting up to take her medicine.

Jiang Yun didn’t comment. Then she put on her slippers and walked out of the bedroom. Zhu Qingluo sighed and looked away. She stared at the ceiling and picked up her phone from the bedside table to check the time. It was exactly 1:00 AM.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Yun returned. The ambiguous atmosphere had dissipated, and everything was silent. When she got back to the bed, Zhu Qingluo was still awake and clearly smelled the faint scent of a recent shower on her. Jiang Yun’s movements were subtle. She lifted the covers and lay down, not touching Zhu Qingluo at all. Zhu Qingluo was a little surprised. It seemed that she hadn’t taken a sleeping pill.

“What do you do when you can’t sleep?” Jiang Yun asked in a low voice, as if talking to herself.

Zhu Qingluo didn’t continue to pretend to be asleep. She glanced at her and replied, “I might listen to music or chat.” Then, Jiang Yun turned her body, facing her without hesitation. “I want to hear you sing.”

“…” Zhu Qingluo was silent for a moment. “I can’t.” But she could chat with her. Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow. Given the special circumstances tonight, she accepted the offer.

Jiang Yun had work to deal with. She planned to say goodbye to Li Wusi and the others tomorrow and take Zhu Qingluo away from the manor. Time passed bit by bit. They chatted on and off, and Zhu Qingluo felt her eyelids getting heavy. The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. She didn’t think too much and said as if by chance, “Since you don’t agree with me going back to the studio, I’ll meet with Li Wusi again tomorrow.” She wanted to meet with her to return the contract.

Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “You’re not allowed to go.”

After two seconds, Zhu Qingluo realized there was room for negotiation in her tone, so she perked up. “Then what about this matter…”

“We’ll talk about it tomorrow.” Zhu Qingluo was stunned, but she agreed.

As they talked, she didn’t know at what point she fell asleep. The temperature dropped sharply in the night, making people subconsciously pull the covers tighter. Using the faint moonlight, Jiang Yun looked at her profile. Her palm stroked the smooth surface of the quilt. After a while, she held a corner of the quilt and opened a small gap. In an instant, she moved to Zhu Qingluo’s side.

Zhu Qingluo was completely unaware, her breathing even. Jiang Yun extended her arm, placed it on top of the blanket, and then slowly lowered it, gently wrapping it around Zhu Qingluo’s waist. Her chin rested on her shoulder. When she touched that body again and smelled the familiar, hot scent, she let out a comfortable sigh. Her heart was filled with a strange sense of peace. Before long, she, too, felt sleepy.

Jiang Yun’s mind completely relaxed. She obeyed her subconsciousness with almost no resistance, following the wonderful feeling of drowsiness into a rare and gentle dream. This night, her sleep quality was exceptionally high. However, her bedmate did not feel so great.

Zhu Qingluo dreamed she was in a forest and had caught a rabbit, but the rabbit climbed onto her back and became heavier and heavier. She looked up and saw the rabbit had turned into a mountain. As a result, she couldn’t breathe. Her waist was tightly constricted, causing her bl00d to stagnate and her brain to become oxygen-deprived and swollen. Zhu Qingluo suddenly opened her eyes to a blinding ray of sunlight. It was bright outside, and the room was filled with a light.

She looked down and found the source of her “nightmare.” Jiang Yun was “hanging” on her. The buttons on Zhu Qingluo’s shirt were undone, the hem was messy, revealing a section of her fair, flexible waist. The silk fabric nearby was bunched up. Beneath it was Jiang Yun’s hand, which had somehow made its way under her clothes. At this moment, Jiang Yun’s sleeping face looked so peaceful and serene.

It was early in the morning, and Zhu Qingluo hadn’t slept well. Seeing this sight, her expression was not good. Then, she felt an indescribable sensation on the sensitive skin near her waist. Jiang Yun’s thumb unconsciously rubbed it.

When Jiang Yun opened her eyes, she met Zhu Qingluo’s gaze. A hint of confusion appeared in her eyes. Because she had just woken up, the first person she saw was the same as the one in her dream. The feeling was a little surreal. “Did you not sleep well last night?” she asked, her phoenix eyes squinting, not yet fully aware of the situation.
