After Marking the Villain Professor (ABO, GL) - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Xu Man and Zhou Yutao were in a standoff when Xu Si returned after driving Chen Xing and the others to the warehouse and giving them a beating along the way.

He took one look at his boss’s off-color expression and immediately misunderstood.

“Boss, is this woman not obedient?” Xu Si moved to Xu Man’s side, glanced at Zhou Yutao who was exuding a cold aura all over, and became even more certain of his guess.

Women like this haughty type were generally very hard to compromise on such matters, especially since she had held a high position before and had been flattered and coaxed.

Suddenly being pulled into the mud pit, anyone would not be able to stand it.

But it was the apocalypse now, and a professor who seemed so smart still did not understand the principle that one had to bow one’s head under the eaves?

She would not even coax the boss, yet she dared to make their boss angry; she truly had the guts of a bear and the audacity of a leopard.

Before Xu Man could speak, Xu Si’s knife was already pointed at Zhou Yutao: “I warn you, go along with our boss a bit, otherwise I won’t care what professor you are or aren’t.”

As he spoke, Xu Si turned his head to Xu Man and said: “Boss, starve her for two meals and see if she obeys then.”

After all, everything in the supermarket belonged to their boss; letting these people in was already an act of mercy, and whether to give them food or drink depended entirely on their boss’s mood.

Xu Man: “…”.

She thought starving Xu Si for two meals would be more like it.

“Xu Si, I don’t need…” Xu Man wanted to say that she had never thought of having Zhou Yutao serve her; she regarded her as a friend and wanted Xu Si to show Zhou Yutao some respect.

Zhou Yutao directly interrupted Xu Man’s words, staring at her with a thin layer of red suddenly appearing at the corners of her eyes: “I have no intention of not serving Boss Xu; I just want to ask Boss Xu to use those things, she doesn’t need to.”

A proud person suddenly became aggrieved, which inevitably stirred pity in people’s hearts.

Xu Si looked in the direction of Zhou Yutao’s finger and, upon seeing that it was a set and contraceptive pills, even felt that his boss was a beast.

This was completely just seeking his own pleasure without regard for the Omega’s life or death.

An Omega already had a hard time surviving in the apocalypse, and if she got pregnant, it was unimaginable what she would face.

But it was fine; once she became their boss’s person, they would similarly protect her and the future little princess of the Xu family thoroughly.

Xu Si silently withdrew his knife and quietly said to Xu Man: “Boss, to be fair, you’re being a bit excessive here; still use it, it was a transaction to begin with, so let’s not go overboard and push her too far.”

“The lounge has a bed; tonight you can take her there and do whatever you want.”

?

Use what? She had no intention of having a relationship with Zhou Yutao, so of course she had no need for those things.

Moreover, had Zhou Yutao just asked her for anything?

Xu Man trembled with anger and shouted: “Xu Wu.”

Xu Wu immediately emerged from behind the shelves like a ghost: “What instructions does the boss have?”

Xu Man took a deep breath: “Xu Si’s brain is sick; give it a good check.”

“Got it, boss.”

Xu Wu’s eyes lit up at once, and he looked at Xu Si as if he were a little white mouse.

Xu Si, a big man, could not help but shiver twice under that gaze.

“Don’t, boss, I’m not sick; did I do something wrong? Boss, you can punish me to do anything else.”

No normal person wanted to fall into Xu Wu’s hands.

But it was too late; Xu Wu had already dragged Xu Si toward the depths of the shelves.

“Fourth brother, oh fourth brother, why are you so stupid? Why did you have to meddle in the boss’s emotional affairs? Besides, pursuing someone isn’t done this way.”

“Normally we tell you to read more books, but you insist on training those muscles of yours; falling into my hands, it’s not unfair.”

“Don’t be afraid, fourth brother; we’re all brothers here, so this time I’ll go easy.”

Xu Wu said to Xu Si in a hypocritical manner.

People like her and the eldest brother were comparatively smart; after dealing with certain disobedient students, they hid themselves away.

They could eat the boss’s melon without getting into trouble themselves.

Xu Si still did not understand what he had done wrong even now, but he soon had no mind to think about it; when Xu Wu took out a thick and long silver needle and was about to jab it into his head, he fainted first.

“Hey, fourth brother, playing dead won’t work.”

Xu Wu kicked the Xu Si on the ground: “If you don’t get up, I’ll jab two more needles.”

Xu Si immediately bounced up and quickly hid behind Xu Yi: “Big brother, save me.”

Xu Yi glanced at Xu Si: “Do you still dare to meddle in the boss’s emotional affairs again?”

Xu Si shook his head repeatedly: “I dare not, I dare not.”

Only then did Xu Yi stop Xu Wu: “Little Wu, forget it; you all go check the surroundings and see if there’s any oversight anywhere to prevent zombies from coming in.”

The boss’s tone did not really mean to punish little four, and besides, now was not the time to fool around.

The commotion outside seemed to be getting louder.

“Okay, big brother.”

Xu Wu regretfully withdrew the needle.

Over here, Xu Man had also calmed down; she said to Zhou Yutao with a serious face: “Professor Zhou, you see, no one here will harm you; you can eat whatever you want, I… I’m not that kind of alpha.”

Quick, look at my sincere eyes; now you believe my sincerity, right.

To avoid Zhou Yutao thinking she was offering kindness without reason and thus harboring ill intentions, Xu Man added: “Just consider it as thanks for the bottle of perfume you gave me.”

As she spoke, she quickly took some bread and ham sausages from the shelf and handed them to Zhou Yutao, and she even specially took a bottle of water of the brand that Zhou Yutao liked from another shelf.

“Is that so?”

Zhou Yutao slightly lowered her eyes, pinching the bottle of water she often drank, with an unusual light flashing in her eyes: “But hasn’t Boss Xu already given me 5200g of gold, as well as a love letter?”

She wanted to eat the food, and she also wanted to eat the person.

Cough cough.

Xu Man’s face turned red, and she almost choked on her own saliva: “The gold was indeed for you, as thanks to Professor Zhou for leading the way for me, but the love letter was… an accident; I originally intended it for…”

Thinking of Chen Xing’s look of disdain toward her, her voice abruptly stopped.

That was what the original protagonist had intended to give, and it had nothing to do with her.

It was all a coincidence.

If she had remembered back then that the bag still had that love letter in it, she would not have dared to give it to Zhou Yutao no matter what.

“Oh? To whom was Boss Xu’s love letter intended?”

Zhou Yutao’s slightly narrowed eyes appeared even more sharp.

Was she angry?

The villain was indeed angry because of that love letter; she must have thought she had deliberately offended her.

Xu Man hurriedly said: “I had someone write it for fun; really, I didn’t intend to give it to anyone; if you don’t believe me, Professor Zhou can ask Xu Liu; I had him write the love letter.”

Zhou Yutao lightly tilted her head, with the corners of her mouth curving upward: “I didn’t expect Boss Xu to have this kind of hobby.”

“I thought Boss Xu knew my little name is Xingxing.”

Ah?

Xu Man was dumbfounded; she had almost read the entire book, yet it never said that Zhou Yutao’s little name was Xingxing.

Chen Xing was the Xingxing.

But perhaps she had missed it; this was probably an important reason why Zhou Yutao felt offended after receiving the love letter.

What a damn coincidence.

Xu Man could only dryly say: “I didn’t know; if my behavior has caused Professor Zhou any trouble, please forgive me; I… I am willing to compensate Professor Zhou.”

Zhou Yutao was silent for a moment before suddenly saying: “Hasn’t Boss Xu realized that the bottle of perfume I gave Boss Xu is actually the antidote to a certain poison?”

Xu Man’s heart tightened, not understanding why Zhou Yutao had to point it out.

Zhou Yutao was clearly telling her that the poison she had been afflicted with that day was one she had administered.

Their originally somewhat harmonious relationship would not become bad because of this, would it?

Xu Man shook her head repeatedly: “No matter what Professor Zhou did to me, I don’t mind.”

A mere poison was nothing compared to life.

In any case, she did not want to offend the villain.

Zhou Yutao said no more, merely gave Xu Man a meaningful look before tearing open the bread packaging that Xu Man had handed her and starting to eat.

People who could flee to the supermarket in such a panic were actually those who had never had the habit of stockpiling goods.

It could be said that they had already been hungry for an entire day.

However, Zhou Yutao’s elegant eating manner did not give the impression that she was very hungry.

Instead, it possessed a unique allure.

Especially when she tilted her head to drink water.

Xu Man unconsciously became a bit dazed watching again.

Only when her gaze met Zhou Yutao’s did Xu Man hurriedly turn her head away: “I… I’ll go get a stool for Professor Zhou; eat slowly; there are lots of things here; take whatever you want to eat yourself, or have Xu Yi and the others bring it to you.”

Strange, her heart was beating so fast.

Was she a face-con? She actually found her so alluring.

Like a juicy, sweet water honey peach, she really wanted to take a bite.

Hmm, she seemed to have really smelled a peach fragrance just now; what was going on? Zhou Yutao should have applied the barrier patch properly.

Xu Man thought she might have been frightened too much today, so her mind was addled from the scare; she tried hard to forget those messy things in her head, took a plastic stool, and brought it over to Zhou Yutao.

Zhou Yutao did not refuse and obediently sat down.

After all, she now had to properly obey Boss Xu’s words.

After Zhou Yutao finished eating, she looked at the bread crumbs that had accidentally gotten on her hand and frowned.

Xu Man observed her expression and fetched wet wipes for her.

Zhou Yutao’s brows relaxed.

Soon after, she pressed on her foot that was uncomfortable from wearing high heels and frowned again.

Xu Man brought her slippers over.

This time, the villain should be able to feel her goodwill, right? They could now be considered ordinary friends, no?

Xu Man thought this way.

Xu Yi and the others hiding in the shadows nodded repeatedly and took the opportunity to educate Xu Si: “Little four, did you see? This is what properly pursuing someone looks like.”

“Mm, I feel like Professor Zhou is about to be moved by our boss.”

“Omegas, after all, once they accept an alpha’s things, it isn’t far from being won over.”

Xu Si: “…”.

He seriously reflected on himself.

But the boss, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, did she really need to act like a lick dog to please someone?

Moreover, it was the apocalypse now, and these people were all under their control.

Xu Si expressed that he did not understand, but because of this incident, he really did not dare to meddle in the boss’s emotional affairs anymore.

At this moment, the people in the warehouse, who had quieted down for a while, started making noise again.

“Give us something to eat; Xu Man, do you have any humanity left? Starving us is one thing, but how can you even starve Brother Xing?”
