It’s Not Okay to Kiss Me as Soon as We Meet (ABO) - Chapter 3
Lin Huaiyi said those words, and the room temperature seemed to drop ten degrees abruptly.
Shen Li had always acted with swift decisiveness.
How could she allow someone to bully her? She had not caught Lin Huaiyi that night, and if they never met again, Shen Li could persuade herself to let it go.
But now this person appeared blatantly at the Shen Corporation and tried to push her luck. Hah.
Lin Huaiyi saw the Omega before her lift her eyelids and stare straight at her. That aura nearly intimidated even the SSS-level alpha.
Shen Li: “What is your purpose in approaching me?”
Lin Huaiyi never imagined such a conversation would happen to her one day.
She thought somewhat detachedly whether Shen Li would next pull out a stack of money and slap it on her face, telling her to get lost as far as possible.
The dramatic scene did not occur. Before Lin Huaiyi could respond, Shen Li deflated like a punctured ball. She switched to a weary expression and waved her hand at Lin Huaiyi.
“Forget it. I don’t care what your purpose is. Since you’ve already started working at the Shen Corporation, behave yourself and don’t scheme. You can go.”
Lin Huaiyi:
She passed so easily?
Shen Li saw her still standing there without leaving, and a thin layer of anger colored her face. She slammed the desk hard. “How long do you plan to stay here? If you don’t leave now, I’ll have HR mark you absent.”
Lin Huaiyi: “Okay, okay, okay. I’m leaving right away.”
Lin Huaiyi hurried out of Shen Li’s office. She did not notice that Shen Li’s tone toward the end seemed to carry a trace of… allure.
After the heavy huanghuali wood door at the office entrance closed gently, Shen Li let out a breath of relief.
She quickly reached out and turned the air purifier’s fan speed to maximum. Shen Li panted lightly, as if that simple action had exhausted all her strength.
Her heat period had arrived early, catching the utterly unprepared Shen Li off guard. In her past 25 years, she had lived on suppressants and never exchanged pheromones with a real alpha.
Just now in the elevator, a mere tease from Lin Huaiyi’s pine mountain silver needle had made her unable to suppress the urge to throw herself into her arms.
If she let Lin Huaiyi stay longer in the office, she did not know what she might do.
Amid the deep arousal, Shen Li also felt sorrow for her Omega gender. Why had she resisted for so long, only to still succumb to this irrational passion?
Shen Li took a trembling hand and pulled out a tube of strong suppressant, wanting to inject it into her feverish body. Yet at that moment, her hand shook so badly she could not hold the syringe steady.
Her fingers slipped slightly, and the glass syringe shattered on the floor with a “crack,” sending shards flying everywhere.
Lin Huaiyi had not gone far.
An SSS-level alpha’s physical quality and senses reached extraordinary heights, beyond what ordinary people could achieve. The sound of glass breaking in the office reached her sensitive ears through the thick wooden door.
Between newly marked AOs, some mysterious connection existed. Lin Huaiyi stopped in her tracks, turned toward Shen Li’s office, took a step, and then paused.
According to social etiquette, since her superior had already driven her out of the office, she should not barge back in without a summons.
But Lin Huaiyi found herself quite concerned about this person, though she remained unclear for now what this “concern” stemmed from. She only knew that at this moment, no matter what, she needed to go back and check to ease her heart.
Lin Huaiyi jogged a couple of steps and knocked lightly on Shen Li’s office door. “President Li, I heard glass shatter, so I came to check. Are you okay?”
She heard no response from inside. Instead, another soft cry of pain reached her, and Lin Huaiyi’s heart clenched sharply.
She pushed the door open without regard for the risk of getting scolded. Instantly, the full-room sweet fragrance of Omega pheromones enveloped her.
Shards of broken glass littered the floor beside Shen Li’s desk. The person she anxiously sought sat on the ground half-closing her eyes, panting slightly in disarray.
The Omega’s finger had been cut by the glass on the floor, dripping bl00d in a shocking manner.
Shen Li’s finger looked extremely pale, forming a stark contrast with the fresh red dripping down.
Lin Huaiyi felt her heart twist, unable to stop frowning. Her body moved faster than her reason. She ran forward, half-knelt before Shen Li, took her injured finger, and placed it in her mouth.
In her daze, Shen Li felt her finger no longer hurt. Her slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. She lifted her eyes and saw this scene.
The tall, slender young alpha knelt before her, brows slightly furrowed, licking her finger with near-reverent devotion.
“Um… why did you come back?”
Shen Li could not ignore the strange sensation at the tip of her finger. She felt so itchy now.
“Hush, don’t talk. Your finger is bleeding a lot.” The alpha stopped her gently.
Shen Li blanked for a second. No one had spoken to her this way in many years. Shen Li’s mother had passed early, and the Shen family was no peaceful haven but a den of wolves and tigers.
The competitive environment had made Shen Li independent and sensible from a young age, and she habitually presented a cold front to the world.
Most people either feared her or harbored hostility toward her. Someone who commanded her so gently yet firmly had not appeared in many years.
Lin Huaiyi had prepared herself inwardly for the Omega to scold her. Yet the Omega before her quieted obediently just like that, gazing at her with a pair of damp eyes.
Lin Huaiyi sniffed: This… who could resist?
Lin Huaiyi carefully scooped Shen Li up sideways and let her nestle in her arms, away from those dangerous glass shards.
Shen Li counted as tall among Omegas, but she felt light as a feather in her arms.
The Omega obediently reached out, wrapped her arms around Lin Huaiyi’s neck, and greatly satisfied Lin Huaiyi’s psychological possessiveness.
Shen Li tilted her head up and asked Lin Huaiyi obediently, “Where are you going to carry me?”
Lin Huaiyi’s old face flushed red, and her mind collapsed inwardly. This Omega’s speech really invited impure thoughts. If she said aloud, “I want to carry you to the bed,” would she get arrested today?
Though her mind buzzed with nonsense, Lin Huaiyi remained steady and gentle on the surface. She made up an excuse, hoping the Omega would not pursue her audacity in princess-carrying the princess.
“Be good. There are too many glass shards on the floor. I’m afraid you’ll get cut again.”
Shen Li did not quite hear what Lin Huaiyi said to her. She only felt this alpha before her lean down gently and murmur something.
Then, her heart itched even more.
Her head rested on Lin Huaiyi’s shoulder, inhaling the pheromones she had missed since that night. Shen Li’s feverish body felt much more comfortable.
But the next second, Shen Li’s body grew even more unsatisfied. This bit of pheromones was not enough to fill her teeth gaps.
An Omega in heat seemed like a different person. Before her mind could think further, she reached out and yanked Lin Huaiyi’s collar, making her lower her head.
Lin Huaiyi thought the princess had some instruction for her and obediently bowed her head. Who knew that upon seeing the pink, tender gland at the back of Lin Huaiyi’s neck, Shen Li bit down hard.
“!!!” Lin Huaiyi’s tears nearly spurted out.
An alpha’s gland was very delicate—arguably the most vulnerable spot on an alpha’s body.
Shen Li’s unmethodical bite brought not only pain but also a swift surge of another impulse.
She wanted to pin this disobedient Omega beneath her and let her know who her master was.
The adult alpha looked over with heavy possessiveness in her gaze, yet she saw Shen Li sucking at the pine mountain silver needle pheromones dispersing in the air, like a greedy little girl.
Lin Huaiyi: Defeated.
Shen Li in heat proved too adorable. Lin Huaiyi had no way to resist. She could only go along with the Omega’s wishes and release a large amount of pheromones for her.
In this AO society, besides SSS-level and S-level AOs, many lower-level AOs actually existed.
If a B-level alpha paired with an A-level Omega, the alpha’s first problem would be that her pheromones could not satisfy her girlfriend.
So the internet abounded with jokes around this topic, with everyone fond of teasing about how to squeeze out a girlfriend’s last drop of pheromones.
Fortunately, Lin Huaiyi was an SSS-level alpha. She had no such issue. One could say that however much Shen Li wanted, she could provide.
Finally, Shen Li fell into a deep sleep. Lin Huaiyi wiped the sweat beads from her forehead.
A stunningly beautiful Omega lay in her arms, yet she had done nothing. Lin Huaiyi really wanted to ask an authoritative body for a grand “Best Willpower Award” certificate.
Lin Huaiyi used her shoulder to push open the lounge door and carefully placed Shen Li on the lounge bed.
Looking at Shen Li’s face asleep from exhaustion, thinking of her own gland that still ached faintly, she smiled helplessly and lifted her foot to leave the lounge.
Shen Li woke at already six in the afternoon. She found herself lying on the lounge bed and panicked for an instant.
She reached down to check and, finding her clothes intact on her body, let out a breath of relief.
In the past, using suppressants during heat always left her with headaches afterward. This time felt good, though—a sensation of her whole body nourished and refreshed.
Memories returned bit by bit. Recalling how she had yanked the alpha’s collar to get her pheromones, Shen Li wanted only to bury her face in the quilt and play ostrich.
After calming her emotions, Shen Li rose and went to the washroom. She glimpsed the Omega in the mirror, her face radiant like blooming peach flowers, with a healthy, nourished complexion.
Lin Huaiyi returned to the office, where her colleague Xiao Wen looked at her with worry.
Xiao Wen: “Did President Li make things difficult for you?”
Before leaving Shen Li’s office, Lin Huaiyi had already tidied her hair and clothes, so Xiao Wen saw nothing amiss.
Lin Huaiyi recalled her encounter in Shen Li’s office and chuckled lightly. “President Li did not make things difficult for me. Thank you for your concern.”
Each time Lin Huaiyi smiled, the subnasal folds in her eyes became more prominent. Even a simple smile made her whole person brim with charm.
Hearing Lin Huaiyi’s reply, Xiao Wen nodded and smiled shyly.
Xiao Wen: “That’s good. We were all worried about you.”
Those around heard the conversation and hooted with expressions of enjoying the spectacle. Xiao Wen was a thin-skinned person by nature. Hearing the hooting, a blush climbed her cheeks.
Lin Huaiyi noticed this and frowned slightly at the hooting crowd. Her body also shifted quietly to the side.
She hated hooting the most.
The first day held no important work. In the evening, the product department organized a new hire icebreaker party. Since everyone was young, they agreed to find a place to eat hot pot while singing karaoke.
Xiao Wen was an obedient Omega and stuck closely to Lin Huaiyi’s side the whole way.
Soon, after singing a few songs, an active member suggested starting drinking table games.
The rule was to spin a bottle in the middle. Whoever it pointed to had to choose truth or dare. An old-fashioned but popular game.
