After Agreeing to a Reality Show with My Omega Ex-Girlfriend (GL) - Chapter 3
Looking at the three million, Qi Song felt as if she was a canary kept by Yu Luo, her sugar mommy.
The act of calling had pleased the sugar mommy, thus earning such a high reward.
As for her hanging up on Yu Luo?
That was like a mischievous canary playfully scratching its owner—harmless. In fact, this occasional, silent, and feeble resistance might even make the sugar mommy more interested.
Qi Song thought, and goosebumps began to rise.
She shook off the sugar mommy and canary setting, trying to convince herself: she and Yu Luo were engaged in a legitimate collaboration, an equivalent exchange.
Qi Song paid the utility bills and had a new door installed for the rental apartment. She also paid off the two most urgent debts, keeping the remaining money as backup.
Next, she had to pack her luggage—
Yu Luo said she would pick her up tomorrow morning, which clearly meant that starting tomorrow, she would move into Yu Luo’s house according to the agreement.
Yes, move in. Not marry into the family.
Qi Song frowned, stung by the word.
Perhaps it was the disparity and contradiction of going from a big star to being a kept woman that kept bringing strange words to her mind.
The original owner was too poor; there were only some basic necessities in the house, and they were almost used up.
As Qi Song packed her luggage, her gaze fell upon a polaroid photo on the table.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the boundless blue sea sparkled under the bright sun.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, two young, beautiful women sat embracing, their eyes locked, noses touching, lips curved.
Anyone could see how sweet and carefree this couple once was.
Qi Song looked at the original owner and Yu Luo in the picture, a faint undercurrent of emotion inexplicably rising in her heart.
But when she tried to savor it more closely, it was gone.
••••
At nine in the morning, Qi Song dragged her suitcase out of the building on time.
A black luxury car waited not far away.
Qi Song put her luggage in the trunk, and as soon as she sat in the back seat, she saw Taotao smiling innocently and cutely at her: “Good morning, Mama!”
Her heart trembled.
Taotao changing her address to “Mama” was part of the agreement, to prevent Taotao from habitually saying the wrong thing on the show.
However, becoming a mother without the pain of childbirth at just 24 years old, no one could remain that calm.
She took a few seconds to adjust, then smiled gently at Taotao: “Good morning, Taotao.”
Qi Song controlled her gaze, avoiding looking at the Omega sitting beside Taotao, who was looking at her.
But that person’s presence was too strong, captivating even in her peripheral vision.
The young woman in the driver’s seat also looked back, her eyes seemingly filled with both admiration and curiosity.
“Hello, I’m Xiao Zhang, Sister Yu’s assistant.”
Qi Song nodded politely and greeted her.
Xiao Zhang had been Yu Luo’s assistant for two years and knew perfectly well how pure and detached her boss was.
Normally, besides work, there wasn’t even an Alpha shadow around her. She didn’t even want to have children with someone; it was said she conceived through IVF herself.
She was truly an unreachable high-and-mighty flower.
Yet today, her boss brought her daughter to such a dilapidated building, just to pick up an Alpha to live with, and then to go on a reality show with her.
Xiao Zhang recognized the Alpha at a glance as the former Best Actress who had been very popular for a while. She had seen some regrettable news online and knew that this person had terrible luck, suffering several major setbacks and falling to the bottom.
Could it be that her boss appreciated talent and wanted to help her out?
Xiao Zhang nodded, confirming her guess. It couldn’t possibly be for the sake of her beauty.
She was driving, and heard Taotao chattering from the back seat:
“What’s the relationship between Mommy and Mama?”
Xiao Zhang pricked up her ears.
“Do you remember Youzi’s Mommy and Mama?”
Yu Luo reached out and stroked Taotao’s head, smiling sweetly: “We’re just like them.”
“Aww!” Taotao was very clever, “We’ll kiss and hug!”
Qi Song: “…”
She had still wanted to ask Yu Luo how she planned to explain her existence. Now it seemed Yu Luo wanted Taotao to think she was her biological mother.
Didn’t she worry that Taotao would be sad after the three-month contract ended?
Moreover, this also showed that Taotao was unfamiliar with, or even didn’t know, her real Alpha mother.
While pondering, Qi Song heard Yu Luo answer Taotao: “That’s right, we’ll kiss and hug.”
After saying that, Yu Luo’s gaze was fixed on her.
Qi Song avoided her gaze, turning her head to look out the car window.
It was a red light, and Xiao Zhang saw in the rearview mirror that her boss, the beautiful cold movie queen, was smiling gently at the Alpha. But the Alpha didn’t reciprocate, even turning her head away.
“…”
Xiao Zhang was so shocked that she forgot the light had turned green, only realizing it when the cars behind honked.
••••
The car drove into a scenic villa area.
Here, the villas were spaced far apart, allowing residents ample privacy.
Yu Luo led Qi Song into a room with an open view and exquisite decor.
“You’ll sleep here tonight.”
Qi Song looked around, gripping the handle of her luggage, and looked warily at Yu Luo: “This is the master bedroom.”
Yu Luo blinked her bright eyes at her, saying nothing.
As if saying: Of course I know this is the master bedroom.
She played dumb, so Qi Song spoke directly: “The agreement only said we’d pretend to be wives on the show; it didn’t say we had to share a room privately, did it?”
“Hmm.” Yu Luo calmly curved her lips. “That’s right.”
“But Miss Qi, I trust our acting skills, but I don’t trust our instincts.”
Yu Luo said reasonably: “If we don’t seriously simulate and adapt to that happy atmosphere beforehand, what if we make a mistake on the show?”
Whether it’s a naturally sweet embrace upon waking up, or Taotao’s closeness and dependence, these aren’t things that can be constantly controlled by acting.
Qi Song knew Yu Luo had a point.
But this Omega could have directly brought up the “pre-simulation” issue, yet she led her to the master bedroom without a word.
She clearly wanted to test her bottom line, or even test if she still harbored old feelings.
She was simply full of scheming intentions.
Qi Song was glad she wasn’t the original owner, who was a love-struck fool; otherwise, she would have foolishly fallen into the trap.
Her guard grew stronger, but she didn’t expose it on her face, nodding and saying calmly: “Alright, I can cooperate with this simulation before the show starts.”
Such a businesslike, emotionless answer.
But Yu Luo seemed to have gotten the wrong idea, gazing at her intently. After a moment, a smile graced her exceptionally beautiful face:
“You look quite good with a cold expression.”
Qi Song: “…”
That’s right, the original owner loved her so much, she probably rarely dared to give her a cold shoulder.
Qi Song thought, and her face grew even colder.
When that radiant face took on a cold expression, it exuded a sense of distance, even a hint of aggression.
Yu Luo’s gaze swept over it, and a light chuckle escaped her throat.
“Never mind, I won’t tease you anymore.”
She lowered her gaze and sighed: “It’s making my legs go weak.”
With that, she turned and left the room.
?
Legs going weak?
Qi Song closed her eyes, realizing more and more how high this scumbag’s game was.
She built the wall guarding against Yu Luo even stronger in her mind and quickly finished packing her luggage.
When she went out, she saw Yu Luo standing in the kitchen, in front of a pile of fresh ingredients.
“Are you free to cook tonight?” Yu Luo looked at her, pointing to the ingredients.
She paused, then softly said: “I want to eat your cooking again.”
Qi Song stood still, silent for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes.
Whether it was the teasing words in the room earlier, or this ambiguous statement now, it all indicated that this Omega, besides the collaboration itself, harbored some other thoughts about her.
She walked over in a few steps, stating indifferently: “Miss Yu, aren’t you mistaken? I didn’t sign a nanny agreement, nor do I have any obligation to satisfy your personal needs.”
Yu Luo looked at her, slightly startled.
Qi Song subtly observed her expression.
This person was a high-and-mighty movie queen, probably always pampered and protected. She probably thought her ex-girlfriend was a plaything to be summoned and dismissed at will, with no need for boundaries, just a flick of the finger to tease like a small animal.
And with her refusal, would Yu Luo, having lost face, become furious? Or would she hide her anger, but subtly threaten her with the hundred million?
As Qi Song pondered, she saw a slow smile bloom on the exquisite face of the Omega before her, like pear blossoms scattering their fragrance.
“If you don’t want to cook, then don’t.”
Yu Luo’s voice was soft and gentle, even carrying a hint of indulgence, “Then I’ll cook for you. What do you want to eat?”
Qi Song’s eyelashes fluttered.
Seeing her not speak, Yu Luo tilted her head and smiled: “Then I’ll just make what you used to love.”
Qi Song realized the woman wasn’t just saying it casually. She really turned around and started looking for an apron, calmly tying it on herself.
She even spoke, trying to dismiss her: “Go play with Taotao and get more familiar with her.”
“…” Qi Song walked away without looking back.
Did she think Qi Song would feel a pang of conscience and voluntarily stay to help?
No, you don’t need a conscience when dealing with a scumbag.
Qi Song found Taotao and played with her on the living room rug, building blocks.
No matter what entanglements existed between the adults, the child was innocent after all, and she didn’t dislike Taotao. Besides, this child seemed so cute.
Taotao was very intelligent and also very skilled with her hands.
With Qi Song’s help, Taotao easily built the complex block figures from the blueprint. Her eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed, “Mama is so amazing!”
Her two fair little hands clapped, making loud smacking sounds.
Taotao seemed to like her very much, showing great affection despite having only just met her.
Qi Song’s lips were initially curved, but looking at those little hands happily clapping, she remembered the wound on Yu Luo’s left palm.
The wound looked so gruesome yesterday; could she really cook today?
Her smile faded.
She continued to play with Taotao for a while, building blocks, but Qi Song was distracted.
After completing a certain figure, she softly discussed with Taotao: “Taotao, will you play by yourself for a bit? I need to go to the kitchen to help Mommy.”
Taotao tilted her head: “Mommy’s cooking?”
Qi Song looked at the surprise on her face.
So Yu Luo usually didn’t cook? Then why was she cooking today?
Seeing that Taotao also wanted to follow, she coaxed Taotao by saying the kitchen was smoky, then got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Before even entering, she saw Yu Luo’s injured left hand wearing a rubber glove, rinsing vegetables.
Perhaps when moving, she occasionally accidentally squeezed her palm, causing Yu Luo’s left hand to noticeably pause, enduring that brief moment of pain before continuing to wash.
Quite strong, huh?
Qi Song inexplicably felt a surge of anger, quickly walked into the kitchen, and said coldly: “Why are you trying to be tough with an injured hand? You can pull out a hundred million, can’t your family afford a cooking auntie?”
Yu Luo seemed surprised she had returned, blinked, then slowly answered the second question: “I did hire one; today just happened to be her day off.”
The previous question was clearly more important, yet she ignored it.
Qi Song pursed her lips, not continuing to ask.
She expressionlessly pulled the person out of the kitchen, announcing without room for refusal: “Go accompany Taotao, I’ll cook.”
Yu Luo didn’t leave, however, but leaned against the kitchen door, her arms casually crossed, smiling with an ambiguous meaning:
“Why? You didn’t sign a nanny agreement, nor do you have an obligation to satisfy my personal needs.”
She threw Qi Song’s own words back at her, verbatim.
Qi Song didn’t speak, walking a few steps in front of Yu Luo.
Yu Luo stared at her, her expression very innocent.
Paired with that dignified and ethereal face, she looked utterly righteous.
Qi Song raised her hands and grasped Yu Luo’s shoulders, then spun her, making her turn around in place.
Yu Luo let out an uncomprehending “Hmm?” but was very cooperative.
As she turned, her long hair, spread over her shoulders, flew and then fell onto Qi Song’s hand.
Qi Song, a woman of few words but fierce action, unceremoniously stripped off the only apron in the kitchen from Yu Luo, then announced: “You can go now.”
The apron had a neck strap, and as it was removed from Yu Luo, it inevitably made her long, curly hair a little messy.
Especially since a certain person’s actions carried a hint of deliberate mischief.
However, for Yu Luo, even messiness had its own beauty.
Her beautiful face was half-hidden by her hair as she slightly raised her eyebrows, saying leisurely, “What, you undressed me and then just dumped me?”
The way she said that.
Clang!
The kitchen door slammed shut in front of her.
Yu Luo looked at the closed door, finding it somewhat novel.
She had never been shut out before.
She stood for several seconds before slowly turning and walking towards the living room.
As she walked, she mumbled softly, “Tsk, so fierce.”
But her tone was full of laughter.
