After a Disabled Alpha Marked a Yandere Female Lead - Chapter 7

Chapter 7

For a moment, Zhu Qingluo thought Jiang Yun was toying with her.

That familiar sense of malice emerged again.

From such a close distance, the other woman’s breathing was clear, a faint warmth and fragrance brushing against her earlobe.

“I understand,” Zhu Qingluo said, putting down the blueprint.

“Understand what? Tell me.”

“…”

Zhu Qingluo also figured out that Jiang Yun had an ulterior motive.

She had been a bit too high-profile these past few days and had forgotten her primary role, failing to “serve” the mistress of the house properly.

If she displeased Jiang Yun, she wouldn’t have an easy time, even with her work.

If she focused on Jiang Yun and let her design work take a back seat, slowly getting by, both of them could be comfortable.

Zhu Qingluo sighed inwardly.

But, as soon as she thought that she could temporarily escape this situation once her studio was established, she felt a surge of motivation.

She turned her face slightly, looking directly into Jiang Yun’s eyes, and said slowly, “If you find it an eyesore, I’ll move everything outside, and it will be as it was before.”

Jiang Yun’s eyelashes were like raven feathers, casting a thin shadow. Her eyes, as clear as glass, seemed to hold a brilliant sunset, beautiful and dreamlike.

“No need,” she said, her crimson lips curving slightly.

“I also make mistakes. After spending a little time here, I think I can accept it.”

Jiang Yun stood up, satisfied, and crossed her arms, looking at the room again.

After a while, her gaze fell on a certain spot, and she said softly, “I don’t like it when a little kitten runs too far. It should turn back as soon as I pull its leash.”

Little Zhu Qingluo the kitten: “…Oh.”

Jiang Yun suddenly looked at her, observing for a moment, and then chuckled meaningfully. “Will it meow?”

Zhu Qingluo paused, then said with a straight face, “You may not know this, but animals aren’t allowed to become spirits after the founding of the nation.”

Jiang Yun’s eyes were slightly dazed, and she stared at her for a moment.

“And you don’t even have a leash,” Zhu Qingluo mumbled softly.

“…”

Jiang Yun’s gaze shifted downward, gliding over Zhu Qingluo’s pale neck, which looked a little bare without a necklace.

She looked down, a half-smile on her face. “You’re right.”

Then, she turned around and walked out of the room with grace and composure.

She left Zhu Qingluo alone, feeling a little confused.

However, thinking about Jiang Yun’s personality, which was known to be moody, she didn’t pay too much attention to this detail.

Zhu Qingluo pulled open a drawer and put the blueprints back.

After putting aside her work, she also left the room and went downstairs to have dinner with Jiang Yun.

The two of them didn’t talk at the dinner table, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

Nothing special happened today. It was basically the same as before. She was obedient and accommodating to Jiang Yun’s every request in her daily life.

However, perhaps feeling that Zhu Qingluo had too much energy, Jiang Yun suddenly found a lot of things for her to do.

…

Late at night, the stars twinkled in the sky.

The chandelier in the living room cast a soft light. A woman in a black silk nightgown was sitting lazily on the sofa, propping her chin on her hand. Her sleeve had slid down, revealing her fair skin.

The woman’s eyelashes were slightly lowered, and her gaze occasionally swept forward.

Across from her, Zhu Qingluo sat upright, holding a thick magazine in her hand.

Her eyes were on the magazine, and the corners of her mouth were slightly turned down. At Jiang Yun’s silent urging, she began to speak:

“The Capital Game of the A-List Actress and the Twin Flowers: Lin Zhao and Xia Tang were secretly filmed in a film set meeting, and the first love classical dance principal appeared late at night at the hotel? The season of everything’s revival makes people restless, but even more intense is a shocking love triangle that has captivated the entertainment industry. For more details, Starry Sky Entertainment will continue to report.”

“Continue,” Jiang Yun said, a slight curve to her lips.

“It is reported that at three in the morning, Lin Zhao’s RV was captured on surveillance shaking non-stop. The scent of an Omega’s pheromones that floated from the window was exactly the same as the publicly available information of the new budding actress, Xia Tang…”

Zhu Qingluo’s voice had no emotional fluctuations and sounded very dry and boring.

Jiang Yun, however, was not tired of it and made her continue reading. She didn’t seem to care about the content of the report but was instead enthusiastic about hearing Zhu Qingluo “read.”

Recalling the cause of this matter, it was because Jiang Yun couldn’t sleep.

So, she didn’t let Zhu Qingluo sleep either and made her read the magazine reports aloud.

Zhu Qingluo had no choice but to comply. At first, she was a little interested in the content.

But as she read on, she gradually realized that the report was all hype and had no real substance. Reading it was a complete waste of time.

She was getting a little sleepy and couldn’t help but glance at the clock.

It was 10:30 now.

She suddenly realized that only half an hour had passed.

As Zhu Qingluo retracted her gaze, she paused for a moment in mid-air and noticed the fruit bowl on the coffee table that hadn’t been touched.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she said, pretending that nothing was wrong.

As soon as she finished speaking, she belatedly realized her throat was dry, and her voice had become a little hoarse.

Jiang Yun looked at her for a moment, then suddenly said softly, “Come here.”

Zhu Qingluo stopped reading and thought for a moment, then leaned her upper body forward slightly.

Then, she felt a warm palm on the back of her head, pressing down, forcing her closer to Jiang Yun.

Zhu Qingluo’s pupils contracted slightly, and she held her breath.

The woman’s face gradually grew larger, and every subtle expression was impossible to hide. But because her features were so captivating, it was hard for one to notice anything else.

The warm, yellow light from the ceiling squeezed into the gap between them, swaying gently, and her vision was momentarily dizzy.

At the same time, Zhu Qingluo smelled the fragrance of fruit.

Her first thought was the other person’s pheromones, mixed with a sweet, wine-like scent that reacted with her own pheromones and was instantly ignited.

The next second, she realized this was not the case.

A grape was held out to her lips, its surface crystal clear.

“Open your mouth,” Jiang Yun said.

Zhu Qingluo was a little surprised. She felt that this action was inexplicably out of line.

However, she didn’t want to offend the other woman.

When Zhu Qingluo opened her lips, Jiang Yun’s gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of a hint of red on her tongue.

Jiang Yun’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Zhu Qingluo’s face.

Zhu Qingluo took the grape into her mouth. Instantly, the juice burst into her mouth, and a sweet fragrance lingered between her teeth.

She forgot to return to her original position and remained at a close distance.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the other woman’s hand reaching out from the corner of her eye.

It reached toward her neck, its target seemingly a vital spot. Her body instinctively flinched.

Then, slender, fair fingertips lightly scratched her chin.

“…”

The light in Jiang Yun’s eyes flowed, and she smiled with a worldly charm.

Zhu Qingluo didn’t react, allowing her to touch her.

The meaning of this action, which was clearly a bit “humiliating,” didn’t make her hate Jiang Yun.

Probably… because she gave me too much money.

Zhu Qingluo thought to herself silently.

However, this action was short-lived, and Jiang Yun seemed to be in a very good mood.

Zhu Qingluo leaned back against the chair and slowly retracted her gaze.

She felt a little helpless because the other woman had no intention of getting tired.

So, she picked up another magazine and said, “Should I continue reading?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yun adjusted her sitting posture, her fingers subconsciously closing, her fingertips still lingering with the delicate warmth.

Zhu Qingluo didn’t look at the report in detail and just read it out loud:

“This is an unprecedented competition. We have invited the most authoritative Teacher Qin to be the judge for this competition.”

Her voice suddenly stopped. She looked back at the page and even her sleepiness had mostly disappeared.

“The Tianming Jewelry Competition will open for registration next month… After passing the preliminary selection, you can enter the competition. The winner will receive a generous prize. The number of spots is limited. We welcome all aspiring individuals to participate.”

Because her attention had shifted, her voice had slowed down a lot.

Jiang Yun had already noticed but didn’t make her continue.

Zhu Qingluo felt the gaze on her and couldn’t help but look up. Her thoughts were seen through in that instant.

She had no intention of hiding them and was even a little expectant of the other woman’s reaction.

Jiang Yun’s eyes held a smile. She glanced at the magazine report and said, “Do you want to go?”

Zhu Qingluo was a little tempted, but she also had to guard against having her hopes dashed.

“I can’t go too far. You said so.”

This was a standard answer.

The smile in Jiang Yun’s eyes deepened. She leaned back, sinking into the sofa comfortably.

For a long time, the air was silent.

She looked down at Zhu Qingluo, her expression unreadable, and said, “Let me see your ability, and I might consider the competition.”

Hearing this, Zhu Qingluo was not very happy.

The other woman’s words were vague and gave her the illusion of an opportunity.

“Really?”

“Yes.” Jiang Yun nodded lightly, the smile on her lips receding.

Zhu Qingluo did not ask any more questions.

She was half-believing, half-doubting, but the fact that the competition was happening was real.

If she wanted to make a name for herself in the industry, participating in this type of competition was the fastest and most convenient way to do so right now.

No matter what, she decided to give it a try.

Afterward, Zhu Qingluo read for another ten minutes. Finally, a look of weariness appeared on Jiang Yun’s face, and she said, “That’s enough for today.”

Zhu Qingluo closed the magazine. “Okay.”

However, her brain was in an active state, and she had no intention of sleeping at all.

When Jiang Yun got up from the sofa and passed by Zhu Qingluo, she saw her in a daze, her cheeks fair and tender.

Suddenly, a bit of malice emerged in her heart again.

Jiang Yun put her hand on the back of the wheelchair. With a little force, she easily turned the wheelchair around, facing the opposite direction.

“…”

When Zhu Qingluo came back to her senses, she found that the view in front of her was “wide open.”

What just happened?

She wasn’t startled, just surprised.

Jiang Yun hadn’t left yet.

The smile in her eyes visibly disappeared, and her expression was bored. She said to her, “If you don’t go back to your room, then don’t go back.”

“…Okay.”

Zhu Qingluo didn’t want to sleep on the sofa, so she wisely wheeled herself in the other direction.

A little while later, the two of them parted ways.

Therefore, she did not notice the deep gaze that Jiang Yun cast on her as she entered the hallway, her figure disappearing into the silent darkness.
