Episode 40: Trouble Abounds, Coaxing Her Sister and then Her Little Sister, Gossipy Aunt Song, and Second Treasure Being Urged to Marry

As expected… would they just pretend nothing happened?

That morning after waking up, Qiao Jinyan never saw Liang Yinyin again.

University students were on summer break. So what could Liang Yinyin have to do at school?

“She went on a date with her girlfriend, didn’t she? Isn’t it the holidays?”

That was Qiao Jiangwan’s joke at the breakfast table to liven the mood.

Qiao Jinyan took it to heart. Various thoughts were weighing on her chest. So she had no appetite all day.

The girl’s temperament was naturally cool. And her overly “cold” expression made her seem unapproachable.

It saved Qiao Jinyan a lot of trouble; at least fewer girls hit on her at school that day.

It let her calm down to sort out what happened these past few days.

She and Liang Yinyin did it. Though it was out of jealousy and impulsive frustration.

Qiao Jinyan didn’t know much about the alpha Liang Yinyin was dating.

She only knew the other had an average family background and was at the same university as Liang Yinyin.

She seemed to be Liang Yinyin’s junior…

Besides that, what made Qiao Jinyan especially “jealous” was…

Liang Yinyin’s drawer had a love letter from someone named “Qi Ran” confessing to her, and… a couple’s ring.

Tch.

Qiao Jinyan couldn’t help but purse her lips.

What era was this, and people still wrote love letters?

But the handwriting… was actually decent.

The content was flowery. It even included love poems.

And Liang Yinyin kept these things in her bedside drawer.

It showed she cared a lot.

She probably… took them out to look at often. Which was why they were in such an “obvious” place.

Qiao Jinyan couldn’t help but think this way.

But if their relationship was so good, why did her sister keep pretending to sleep yesterday?

Letting her do it until the end.

Qiao Jinyan couldn’t figure it out and couldn’t move forward with peace of mind.

The result of her hesitation was…

She actually fell asleep holding Liang Yinyin’s soft body…

//

After thinking all day, Qiao Jinyan still couldn’t get over the love letter.

Did that thing really make omegas like it so much?

Or did Liang Yinyin like that kind of thing?

For Qiao Jinyan, who was always a poor student, this was completely incomprehensible.

After all, her alpha mother taught her to go bold and direct if she liked someone.

No regrets.

To Qiao Jinyan, making these vague verbal promises was less effective than… holding hands or kissing.

Even if she wanted to say she liked someone, Qiao Jinyan thought saying it face-to-face was better.

Sigh… would her sister really not come home all summer?

The more Qiao Jinyan thought, the more likely it seemed. Because in past holidays, she always spent time at their grandparents’ house.

To keep the two elders of the Liang family company.

So it was really awful…

The only good news was that Qiao Xian’an didn’t seem mad about her not showing up that night.

At breakfast, Qiao Xian’an seemed normal and greeted her.

But.

The bad news was, after breakfast, Qiao Xian’an was picked up by her manager for work.

Being a celebrity seemed to leave almost no time to rest; she rarely saw Qiao Xian’an even during school days.

It seemed to be a reshoot for a magazine cover.

Worried, Qiao Jinyan tried asking about Qiao Xian’an’s attitude on her phone.

But the omega’s response was a bit ambiguous.

[You said you fell asleep that day?]

[Yeah… I went to your room at midnight. You locked the door, didn’t you?]

[I forgot. I’ve been busy these days. Focus on preparing for your exams.]

[?]

…That’s it?

No explanation!

It made her worry all day!

Qiao Jinyan lay on the table. She was looking at her chat with Qiao Xian’an. She felt inexplicably disappointed by the other’s flat tone.

Such a perfunctory woman, tossing her aside after playing.

Qiao Xian’an loved to “torture” her like this.

But why did she recently seem a bit addicted to it?

She didn’t have this “masochistic” trait.

Maybe just because Qiao Xian’an was her real sister… or because Qiao Xian’an always “rewarded” her afterward.

It made Qiao Jinyan gradually stop resisting this somewhat “distorted” sisterly relationship.

But speaking of which, it had been so long. And her fairy sister didn’t even say if she liked the gift she sent.

That woman loved beauty so much; she should like it, right?

So annoying.

Bored, Qiao Jinyan scrolled through her phone and got a notification from a platform.

She clicked in.

Qiao Jinyan honestly went to her only followed account and saw Qiao Xian’an’s fresh promotional photo.

Tch… Qiao Xian’an didn’t reply to her messages because she was busy posting photos to gain fans?

It was a polished promotional photo. It was almost like a fashion blockbuster.

But the caption…

“Sent by the dummy.”

A short phrase unrelated to the picture.

Only Qiao Jinyan understood its meaning.

She zoomed in on her phone and saw the bracelet she sent Qiao Xian’an on her wrist.

It was rose gold.

A simple style, not adorned with fancy jewels.

Not as flashy as the other designs at the counter.

But the design looked nice.

There was a little surprise she prepared at the clasp.

It really suited her… after all, Qiao Xian’an’s wrist was slender with a bony beauty.

The gift was probably the right choice, right?

While Qiao Jinyan scrolled through comments, a message popped up on her phone.

[Don’t run around after your exams. Wait for me in my room at night.]

[Dare to stand me up again, and you know the consequences.]

This woman was still the same as before, unchanged.

Definitely a “Hongmen Banquet”!

(Note: The term “Hongmen Banquet” refers to a historical event in Chinese history, specifically from the late Qin Dynasty (around 206 BCE). A feast was hosted by Xiang Yu for Liu Bang at Hongmen. The event was intended as a trap to kill or intimidate Liu Bang. But Liu Bang, aware of the danger, managed to escape.)

Probably a punishment…

Qiao Jinyan sighed deeply.

A big weight in her heart finally lifted.

But… another unavoidable stone still pressed on her heart.

Qiao Xian’an’s issue was settled. But the problem was what to give Nian Nian.

Her attitude that day seemed to really hurt her little sister’s heart.

Qiao Jinyan started to worry; she felt no matter what she gave, her sulky little sister wouldn’t be “satisfied.”

As the family’s treasure, Qiao Zhinian was the “richest” in the family.

And she didn’t have much desire for material things.

So… what would someone always sick at home like?

Or rather… what did she need most?

Near dismissal time, Qiao Jinyan propped her head. She looked at a sparrow flying past the tree branches outside.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

Maybe what Nian Nian needed most…

Was probably… the freedom to live like a normal person.

//

The day before Sunday. 

After days of effort, Qiao Jinyan finally finished preparing the surprise for Qiao Zhinian.

“Where did you roll in the mud? Come here, let me see.”

Passing the garden, Qiao Jinyan was caught by the sexy young woman Song Qingzhu. She seemed to be having afternoon tea.

“Aunt Song… is something up? I’m a bit busy…”

Qiao Jinyan reluctantly lowered her head, walked to Song Qingzhu, and felt nervous inside.

“Where did our family get such a dirty kid? Rolled in the mud? Lift your head for me to see.”

“It’s not that dirty… just a bit of dust…”

The girl guiltily raised her head. She showed her dusty, dirty face.

And then.

There were leaves in her hair, and mud marks on her face.

Completely ruining that charming face!

It infuriated Song Qingzhu, a face enthusiast.

Wasn’t this kid usually a clean freak?

Why was she suddenly sneaking around in the yard these days, doing who-knows-what?

And always saying it was a secret, not telling her.

“Drink some water first, don’t get heatstroke. Rest a bit before you get busy.”

Song Qingzhu looked at the alpha’s sun-reddened face and sighed.

A flash of heartache and helplessness passed through her captivating fox-like eyes.

Her face was red from the sun. She was being all secretive all day, not letting anyone help. And who knows for whom.

“No need, I’m not tired…”

“Not tired, my foot. Wipe your face properly first. Did you put on sunscreen?”

Unable to resist the married woman’s kindness, Qiao Jinyan took a towel from the sexiest, most glamorous woman in the family and roughly wiped her face.

“I put on sunscreen. Thanks, Aunt. I’ll go shower soon.”

The alpha flashed a smile, sweetly calling her Aunt.

“What kind of sunscreen is that? Come here, I’ll wipe it for you.”

Song Qingzhu was almost driven mad by this troublemaking, playful kid who only knew how to act cute afterward.

Leaves and dirt in her hair—Song Qingzhu couldn’t imagine what Fu Jin would think seeing her daughter like this. Considering she was an even bigger clean freak.

They’d think Qiao Jinyan got into another fight.

“If you can’t stay still, go find a girlfriend already.”

Song Qingzhu pinched the high schooler’s tender, almost watery skin.

Where did she get all that energy every day?

Finding a girlfriend would be better than being a “troublemaking rich kid” like in middle school.

“It’s too early… Aunt, I’m still young…”

The alpha’s eyes darted evasively.

“Young, my foot. Your mother at your age… I! *Cough*… I was pregnant with An’an.”

The sexy married woman recalled earnestly.

It didn’t seem bad; getting Yanyan married early to a wife to keep her in check might save them some worry.

“…”

Qiao Jinyan couldn’t respond.

Was that something to say?

Wasn’t early dating discouraged now?

Other families guarded against their kids dating early…

But her family started urging her to marry and have kids in high school!

Did her moms really dislike her that much at home?

So they wanted her to find a girlfriend fast.

It felt like whatever she did at home, her moms would “disapprove.”

Was this their stereotype of her?

Qiao Jinyan sneaked a glance at Song Qingzhu’s stunning, youthful profile.

Aunt Song looked so young, not at all like a mom.

She didn’t seem like a woman nearing forty.

In her memory, since childhood, whenever Aunt Song was home, she was indulgent. She often let them eat what they liked.

Even when they did wrong, she rarely disciplined them. Just occasionally… saying shocking things.

A girlfriend?

She couldn’t tell Aunt Song she sort of had half a girlfriend, right?

“Why are you spacing out? Really heatstroked? Got pocket money? Not out of cash to buy condoms, are you?”

Just as Qiao Jinyan wanted to say she had no money, she heard Song Qingzhu’s second half and quietly lowered her head. She immediately shut up.

Then came the familiar words she’d heard countless times.

“Don’t be like your mother. Use protection, think more about the girl, got it?”

To keep Second Treasure from following Qiao Qiao’s crude ways, they nagged her with careful advice whenever they had the chance.

After all, she was the only alpha in the family.

Of course, they wanted to raise her as the perfect, gentle, considerate alpha they envisioned.

The real truth was… Song Qingzhu didn’t want to be a “grandma” so soon.

Noticing Qiao Jinyan’s “shyness,” Song Qingzhu propped her head. She pinched the dazed girl’s face, and teased.

“That reaction—got a secret girlfriend you’re not telling us about?”

Song Qingzhu’s eyes gleamed with gossip and teasing.

“No… of course not. I, uh… it’s hot, I’m gonna shower.”

“Go on.”

The little slick ran fast.

Not as cunning as Qiao Bao, who’d lived two lives.

Still too innocent.

Song Qingzhu leaned back languidly on the lounge chair. Her mature, alluring figure was on full display.

Qiao Jinyan couldn’t help but gape.

Her family was really too open about this stuff. But no matter how open, if her moms found out about her and Liang Yinyin…

//

Protection, huh? That night, she…

As Qiao Jinyan walked inside, she kept thinking about Song Qingzhu’s words.

That night… she barely thought or hesitated. She was driven by desire. And she shot it all inside.

Qiao Jinyan recalled the condoms she found in Liang Yinyin’s desk.

So how many times had Yinyin done it…

Qiao Jinyan couldn’t help but bite her lip.

She’d done it so many times. That’s why her sister was so “tolerant” that night, right?
