After Marking The Female Lead, The Cannon Fodder Became The Daughter-in-law of a Wealthy Family - Chapter 2

Qin Yushu was watching Lu Ningshuang just now.

In April, the office heating was nice and comfortable.  She took off her outer clothing and put on a solid-colored chiffon blouse.  It was really form-fitting because it didn’t have any puffed decorations on the sleeves or chest area.

Everything about how she looked was real and carefully planned.

She donned a pair of deep khaki straight-leg pants that got narrower at the ankles on the bottom half.  Her legs looked straight while she stood there, and she wore plain white sneakers with no heels.

 Her long, straight hair was smooth and black, and it fell naturally, without being permed or colored.

This went well with her lovely, delicate face. Qin Yushu thought her eyes were the most beautiful thing about her. They were clear and bright, as if they hadn’t been affected by the severity of society. They were like a fawn in a morning woodland, with a clarity and innocence that only college students had.

The overall look was pleasant and not scary.

Alphas probably liked this look the best.

Just right.

 She liked it as well.

Qin Yushu chose Lu Ningshuang from a lot of other people because she looked good to her. This led to more research and a series of events that followed.

Because of what Qin Yushu said, Lu Ningshuang’s eyes, which looked like glass, showed a tinge of shocked uncertainty.

 “Is there a misunderstanding here?” Lu Ningshuang asked carefully.

 Qin Yushu lifted an eyebrow.

Lu Ningshuang saw how she looked and chose to call her “President Qin” instead.

Then she said simply, “What do you mean by escape…?”

 “Are you denying it again?”

Lu Ningshuang’s ears got hot.

It was clear that she couldn’t handle things like this on her own, but compared to how calm Qin Yushu was, talking about it like it was something else, she constantly felt like she couldn’t let it go, which made the situation much more unpleasant.

This could be the bad side of being thin-skinned.

“Miss Lu,” Qin Yushu went on, “I told you last night to stay for a minute.”

“Ah? Lu Ningshuang said, her eyes clear. “I didn’t hear that.”

 Qin Yushu’s eyes softened. “Is it still my fault?” 

She had been in charge for a long time, after all. Even though she was an Omega, normal humans couldn’t handle the aura she gave out.

Like Lu Ningshuang, who was an Alpha, felt pressured from Qin Yushu’s leadership since President Qin was so beautiful. When she thought about it, it did seem like she was wrong…

She promptly said she was sorry, and her tone was honest. “I’m sorry; I’m so sorry.”

Qin Yushu squinted her eyes. “Well, I’ll let it go this time.”

Lu Ningshuang stood there, not knowing what else to say. She wasn’t really extroverted or conversational, which made her seem more like a pupil being punished for standing motionless.

 After a while, she heard Qin Yushu inquire, “How have you been feeling about work lately?”

The huge supervisor was worried about her employee?

That was very nice.

Lu Ningshuang thought for a time. “Pretty good.”

“Specifically?”

The work environment is great, and I get along well with my kind coworkers. At first, I didn’t know how to do the work, but with everyone’s help, I learned how to do it over time. The amount of work each day is also just right.

Qin Yushu sat there and listened carefully to her subordinate’s report, showing what it takes to be a good boss. Lu Ningshuang’s mouth felt a little dry after talking for so long, and she eventually said, “That does sound good.”

Then she changed the subject and said, “I saw your profile; you seem to come from a normal family.”

Lu Ningshuang said, “Yes.”

“Would you think about switching to a job that pays more?” Qin Yushu kindly asked.

 “…What?”

 Qin Yushu waved her hand in a way that said “no.”

She acted in a casual and calm manner, similar to someone calling their dogs at home. But the breathtaking view from the floor-to-ceiling window was too beautiful to ignore, especially since she was now Lu Ningshuang’s employer.

Lu Ningshuang approaches forward. 

Then Qin Yushu casually pulled a document from the side and said, “Take a look.”

The honest and straightforward girl Lu Ningshuang did as she was told. Her clear, doe-like eyes grew bigger as she read, and she turned to look at Qin Yushu.

 Qin Yushu’s voice was flat. “What do you think?”

Lu Ningshuang: ???!!!

This was definitely a sponsorship contract!

Oh…

While the wording might have been embellished with some words, it couldn’t change the essence of the contract—

Qin Yushu would pay her, and in return, Lu Ningshuang would offer services at least three times a month to address the other party’s heat periods.

The contract was for a year, and if she signed it, she would make $200,000 a month. Qin Yushu would also help her with as many problems as she could.

She said this was to make sure that little things wouldn’t bother her during service, which would make it the finest experience for her.

Of course, this relationship had to remain confidential. Lu Ningshuang would be like a secret lover.

As she gripped the paper, her hand shook a little.

 Lu Ningshuang was completely confused.

How could an Omega offer to help an Alpha? This was too weird and not dignified enough.

No, hold on.

It didn’t seem so strange, given the difference in their status financially.

With this thought, Lu Ningshuang grew increasingly silent.

“Are you satisfied with this part-time job, Miss Lu?” Qin Yushu asked again.

As she spoke, she leaned back slightly in her chair, clearly indicating her readiness to negotiate.  “This is the first draft of the contract. It’s my first time doing this, so I might not have all the information I need and miss some details. If you see anything you don’t like, please let me know and we can talk about it more.”

 “Of course, you can’t ask for too much.”

Lu Ningshuang let out a leisurely breath, taking in what Qin Yushu said. Her thinking slowly started to change, and after a while, she started to wake up.

It felt like her soul was still up there.

“Such things, such things…” The young Alpha felt a bit embarrassed. “Why me?”

Her voice was soft, almost coy.

The slightly older Omega appeared quite frank. “At a certain stage, fulfilling desires is quite normal.”

 “Why you chose this—”

Qin Yushu looked at her face for two seconds. “You come from a good family. You are honest in your relationships and do what you’re told. To put it plainly, you’re easy to deal with.”

Of course, all of this was founded on one big idea.

First, she had to like how the other person looked.

Qin Yushu didn’t say anything about this since she wanted to keep some things to herself so that the other person wouldn’t get too cocky because they were her favorite.

Lu Ningshuang: “…”

You didn’t have to be that direct.

 “Oh, and one more thing,” Qin Yushu continued, which made Lu Ningshuang pay full attention.

She immediately grinned, and her voice, which was already a little low, dropped much lower and swirled about Lu Ningshuang’s ear like a whisper.

“You did a good job last night.”

Lu Ningshuang: !!!

“I was very happy.”

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lu Ningshuang thought she was about to blow up!

From the time she walked into this office, Qin Yushu had perfect control over her feelings and actions, setting the pace for everything.

Up to this point.

The pretty woman smiled in a way that was really lovely, and in the dim room, it felt like different beams of light pierced through the darkness, making everything seem very clear.

But it wasn’t a break.

It only gave the victim a moment to regain its breath. It offered it a bait called “sweetness,” which made it want to lean into the chains, giving it a firmer grip on control.

Finishing the self-taming.

This was a sign of a really good hunter.

It was hard to resist the lovely woman and even difficult to get away from her.

Lu Ningshuang had to be careful to keep her face from getting hot, even though it was getting harder to hide.

The Alpha pretended to be cool as she put the contract back in its place, making sure the corners were all in line.

Lu Ningshuang bit her lip. “I still don’t get it. Why me?”

Qin Yushu blinked on purpose.

It wasn’t silly.

She was born with beautiful skin, and this action made her seem less serious and gave her a tinge of natural confidence.

Her voice was the same.

“Miss Lu, do you want to hear it again?”

Lu Ningshuang asked, “Why was I the one last night?”

It had been a night.

Having seen the original plot, Lu Ningshuang naturally noticed many differences in the middle.

In the original story, Qin Yushu suddenly encountered her heat period during a trip, but last night, Lu Ningshuang had indeed stayed late at the office and run into the Omega there.

Their business is quite responsible; they usually clock in and out on schedule and only work extra hours when they have to.

Recently, there haven’t been any major projects. Additionally, Lu Ningshuang is currently just an intern and hasn’t officially joined yet. The tasks assigned to her are mostly trivial. Yesterday, she was suddenly given a massive workload, and just as she managed to finish it before the end of the workday, she discovered that she had made a significant mistake, which forced her to stay late.

When considering all these events, it feels like too many coincidences—too unreasonable.

It seems almost deliberately orchestrated.

Lu Ningshuang is new to the professional world, but that doesn’t mean she’s dumb.

Also, Qin Yushu talked about her family background not too long ago.

Qin Yushu herself has only been at this company for less than two days, and the employees below her have never seen her face. This is also why Lu Ningshuang initially didn’t recognize her last night.

Qin Yushu is the young lady of the Tiangsheng Group, the future heir. Despite her sudden arrival at a small company, the internal power dynamics at Tian Sheng will not loosen, which means she is likely unaware of the people and affairs within the small company.

Controlling the middle and upper management is sufficient for the company’s basic operations; as for the lower-level employees, they are deemed too insignificant.

How could such an extraordinary person suddenly check the information of a mere intern?

Something doesn’t seem right.

There is a lot of weirdness and dissonance all around.

Everything she saw yesterday seemed to have nothing to do with the story that has already been told; it feels like everything has gone wrong.

“Just a coincidence,” Qin Yushu said without thinking about what it meant.

Lu Ningshuang looked down, which made her thin neck stand out the more.

Last night, both of them had shown restraint amidst their passion, with all traces hidden beneath their elegant attire. The only visible parts were their chins and necks, both as white as jade.

“Sorry, I—”

She wouldn’t accept it.

She has her pride.

Although her family is poor, they still manage to maintain a basic standard of living, and none of their relatives are suffering from serious illnesses or gambling debts. With graduation approaching, she doesn’t need to worry about tuition. If she rashly signed such a contract, her parents would probably break her legs.

“Oh. Then—”

Qin Yushu’s calm voice abruptly interrupted Lu Ningshuang’s thoughts, prompting her to look up without hesitation.

President Qin had already stood up, and although there was a big desk between them, they were about the same height. But Qin Yushu’s powerful presence made it look like she was much taller than Lu Ningshuang.

Qin Yushu said, “Five hundred thousand for one month.”

Lu Ningshuang was unsure. “Let me think about it.”

It’s not impossible.

You can’t just turn down money that comes to you out of pride, can you? After years of hard work, the sudden desire to stop trying is scary. 

 “Okay,” Qin Yushu said. “I’ll wait for your answer.”

“Don’t keep me waiting too long.”

Lu Ningshuang was ready to depart after their talk, with her hand on the doorknob.

“Hold on a second.”

She saw that Qin Yu Shu had left her big desk and was slowly approaching her.

From across the desk, they looked to be about the same height, but Lu Ningshuang was technically a little taller because she was wearing flats.

“Do you still have any money?” Qin Yushu asked.

The “poor girl,” Lu Ning Shuang, said, “…” 

“I can send you the money for the hotel from last night.”

Lu Ning Shuang instantly said no. 

“No, there’s no need.”

She felt a little uneasy since she found out about the scheme, but last night’s meeting was lovely, with a rosy tint to it, despite all the chaos going on outside.

It could have been the beautiful woman who fell into her arms with dreamy eyes or the clouds rolling behind them…

Lu Ningshuang had chosen the hotel and suite, and at that moment, she was thinking about how much money she had. She also believed that such a gorgeous Omega deserved the finest of everything, which was more important.

 It was just natural, and there was no need to think about it.

She was more than happy.

What would happen to her if Qin Yushu sent her money? Well, just like the contract that President Qin had shown her before, she was definitely going that way.

It looked like pride might not be needed.

 Lu Ningshuang felt a little down and out when she thought about this.

“Let’s share the bill; I’ll scan your code.”

Qin Yushu was now right in front of her, and as Lu Ningshuang looked up, she noticed how irresistible the other person was. She did what she was told and opened her QR code.

Qin Yushu looked at it. “Miss Lu, please open your QR code.” “

 Lu Ningshuang said, “Huh?”

She gazed at Qin Yushu, then at the QR code for her payment, then swiftly switched to WeChat, and lastly looked at the beautiful look on Qin Yushu’s face. In the end, she did access the friend request page.

Qin Yu Shu was able to add her and send her part of the cash. Lu Ningshuang reluctantly took the money from this scary person, who had given her stern orders.

Qin Yushu was happy. “Calling you alone would be too obvious, so let’s talk through WeChat from now on.”

Lu Ningshuang nodded, agreeing to do what was asked.

Qin Yushu kept looking at her and then abruptly pointed to her collar.

“Here.”

Lu Ningshuang didn’t react right away since so many things were occurring so quickly today. She instinctively tilted her head.

It felt a little off.

 It’s strange, but in a way, it’s cute.

Qin Yushu moved closer, and the space between them that had been there before was now gone.

Qin Yushu dropped her head, taking advantage of the height differential her heels gave her. Her bright red lips were only a few inches away. She delicately brushed Lu Ningshuang’s naturally flowing black hair and some of the ends that curled softly as she moved.

Qin Yushu’s fingertip moved down.

The thin fabric of Lu Ningshuang’s top was a little see-through, and the soft touch felt warm but short-lived, rapidly turning into something more delicate.

She moved her shoulder a little and drew the fabric up to cover the exposed skin, entirely hiding the hint of rosy flesh.

When you looked straight at them, only the Omega’s eyes looked black and heavy.

There was no way for emotions to show.

But deep down, everything looked quite clear—clear enough to show how she was feeling just now.

Qin Yushu turned her head a little away from Lu Ningshuang’s, and from a distance, it seemed like they were hugging.

Their breaths were close to Lu Ningshuang’s ears, even though they were a little far away.

Qin Yushu blinked in anger. 

“Miss Lu, please keep your tail hidden well.”
