When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me (GL , ABO) - Chapter 13

It seems there’s no choice now.

Yi Jing, who was deeply reluctant to enter this room, frowned slightly and sighed inwardly as she unwillingly stepped into the room.

Passing through that understated yet heavy door, the scene before her suddenly became clear.

The room looked oppressive, but the space inside was surprisingly large. The overwhelming sense of pressure from the decor was diluted by the spacious area, leaving only an air of luxury. As soon as Yi Jing entered, she saw a dark, glossy desk with a soft sheen and a wall full of bookshelves.

The high-density wood, after carving, polishing, and careful maintenance, combined with years of storage away from light, displayed a jade-like texture. Together with the full bookshelf behind the desk and chairs, and the sofa base in front of the desk, they formed a set of low-key yet luxurious furnishings.

Seeing her enter, Auntie had just put down her teacup and stood up to greet her.

“Come, say hello to your grandfather and young uncle. They have some work-related matters to discuss with you.”

Yi Jing raised her eyes to look at Old Master Yi sitting behind the desk.

The old man with gray hair but still vigorous and energetic looked no different from the day of the banquet. He still appeared very calm and reserved, with few expressions on his face and eyes so deep they seemed able to see through one’s heart at a glance.

Even now, Yi Jing still found it hard to accept that the person in front of her was actually her grandfather.

She really didn’t want to admit it. Was there truly no hidden story behind this?

Yi Jing didn’t immediately respond. Instead, Old Master Yi looked her up and down, and after a while, nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness: “Your mother was also quiet like this when she was young. It’s a pity, her health was poor, otherwise.”

Old Master Yi seemed to recall something and quickly stopped speaking.

Yi Jing: “?”

“Jingjing is also a poor little thing, unable to grow up in the Yi family like her mother. But isn’t it good that I’ve taken care of her?” Auntie said with a smile.

Old Master Yi nodded, his stern and serious face actually showing traces of kindness, speaking in a tone that could be considered gentle: “You and Song Qing have taken very good care of Jingjing. Including Mingyue, these two are the most outstanding children of this generation. The Yi family will be handed over to them in the future.”

Mingyue?

Yi Mingyue?

That sounds familiar. Who is this person?

Yi Jing was a bit confused but didn’t rashly speak up.

“Come, Jing jing, let grandfather tell you about some work-related matters.” Old Master Yi beckoned to Yi Jing, but his gaze didn’t look at her, seemingly not doubting whether she would obey. He walked naturally towards a tea table in the depths of the study.

The middle-aged man introduced as Yi Jing’s young uncle also stood up calmly, straightened his suit jacket, and without saying a word, walked naturally yet arrogantly towards the position next to Old Master Yi.

Auntie and Yi Jing lagged half a step behind, becoming the last to move.

Auntie quietly nudged Yi Jing and said, “The old master wants to instruct you on some matters in Jing’an City. Don’t talk back.”

Yi Jing tilted her head slightly, but only saw Auntie smiling at Old Master Yi, so she didn’t say anything more.

Was her usual personality one that would talk back?

Yi Jing thought about it and had a feeling that she probably wouldn’t like what Old Master Yi was about to say.

“Jingjing, come, sit next to me.” Old Master Yi sat down at the head of the tea table and beckoned for Yi Jing to sit beside him.

Yi Jing obediently walked over. Auntie sat next to her, while the young uncle sat across from her and began making tea with fluid motions.

Actually, there was nothing special about it, but for some reason, Yi Jing found the man’s actions somewhat annoying as she watched him.

The clear tea was soon poured into the cups, its fragrance wafting up.

Yi Jing took a small sip of tea and heard Old Master Yi ask in a gentle but unquestionable tone: “I remember that during your university years, you had already followed Director Li Yun of the Judicial Department to the South Asian territory for a security maintenance mission. You completed your work excellently at that time, so you should still be very familiar with the procedures of the general election, right?”

Yi Jing: “…”

She had no memory of this at all.

It wasn’t her who went, how would she know?

But it seemed she couldn’t say she didn’t know at this moment. If she did, wouldn’t the show be over?

“Yes, I remember clearly.”

Yi Jing answered briefly, fully maintaining her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

Old Master Yi nodded, and surprisingly accommodated Yi Jing’s straightforward style by getting straight to the point: “Good that you remember, it saves us from having to teach you slowly. Tomorrow is your official first day on the job. With your previous experience, you should be able to adapt quickly.”

Yi Jing, maintaining her cold and profound expression, paused with the teacup in her hand: “…Mm.”

This is bad, dangerous.

Tutorial for beginners, none.

But having come this far, it was difficult for her to say anything else.

The old master had just said that she and that Mingyue person were the most outstanding children of the Yi family’s generation. Since he had expectations for her and she had enjoyed the benefits, she couldn’t refuse to do what the family required.

If she denied her abilities at this point, not only would it embarrass Old Master Yi, but it might also affect her future actions—

Unless there were special circumstances, only those with sufficient abilities were qualified to participate in high-risk, challenging, but high-return matters.

This was the default consensus of those with resource allocation rights.

Never mind, when you’re out in the world, your identity is what you make it.

Whether she could do it or not, she’d figure out the procedures later. For now, she needed to keep up appearances.

“You know what needs to be done, so grandfather called you here today to give you some additional instructions,” Old Master Yi said, picking up his tea cup just like Yi Jing.

Here it comes.

Auntie looked up at Old Master Yi.

Yi Jing keenly sensed that this was what Auntie had referred to as something she might talk back about.

“Don’t do anything unnecessary,” Old Master Yi said.

Yi Jing was suddenly taken aback.

What did that mean?

“Grandfather knows you’re very familiar with the election procedures and know exactly what to do. But this time is different. Don’t investigate unrelated matters, just do your own job well.” Old Master Yi paused here and then hinted more explicitly, “With the general election approaching, don’t cling to some doubts like before. Learn to let go appropriately.”

?

Was he telling her to deliberately overlook things?

As for doubts, Could it be about the person who was dragged away at the banquet? Did Old Master Yi know she was trying to understand things related to that person, so he specifically came to remind her. He wasn’t planning to give anyone an explanation?

Yi Jing frowned, about to speak instinctively, but just before voicing her disagreement, she suddenly remembered that Auntie had just reminded her ‘not to talk back’.

Had Auntie anticipated that Old Master Yi would say these things?

The memory of Auntie confidently saying at the banquet that ‘there wouldn’t be any major cases during the election period’ surfaced again.

Was it a coincidence… ?

Why did it feel like Auntie knew even more than Old Master Yi?

“Jing jing?” Old Master Yi put down his teacup unhurriedly, looking at Yi Jing as if for confirmation.

Yi Jing: “.”

Oh.

The gazes of everyone in the study suddenly fell on Yi Jing.

Yi Jing was silent for two seconds, then under Auntie’s expectant gaze, she closed her eyes slightly and conceded: “I understand.”

Old Master Yi nodded, and the other two people in the room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yi Jing: “…”

Originally, Yi Jing wasn’t sure just how difficult the original owner’s personality was, but seeing everyone’s reaction now, it seemed the original owner was someone who could give even Old Master Yi a headache, to the extent that he needed to specially instruct her.

That made things easier.

Since the original owner was already a very opinionated and stubborn person, even if she made some decisions based on her own judgment, it probably wouldn’t seem too out of character.

She still had one unresolved matter right now.

At the same tea table, Auntie was chatting and laughing with Old Master Yi. Judging from the situation, Yi Jing guessed that in no more than five minutes, Auntie would lead her to say goodbye, but she still had one thing to say.

“Grandfather.” Yi Jing raised her eyes to look at Old Master Yi.

Auntie and Old Master Yi, who were chatting happily, both paused and turned to look at Yi Jing.

Seeing Yi Jing’s expression, Auntie visibly tensed up, seemingly wanting to stop Yi Jing from talking back, but what Yi Jing wanted to say wasn’t about that matter at all.

Yi Jing straightened her already upright back and calmly looked at Old Master Yi: “Grandfather, since I’ve already graduated and am about to take office as a security officer, if I meet a suitable person, Can I get married directly?”

“…” Old Master Yi seemed completely unprepared for this and hesitated before responding, “Hm?”

Auntie beside him also widened her eyes: “What??”

She had only looked away for a moment, how had her good child thought of this matter??!

Yi Jing ignored the shock of these two people, took a light breath, and swept her gaze across everyone in the room, saying each word clearly and firmly:

“If the time is right, I want to get married!”

After saying this, Yi Jing calmly met the incredulous gazes of everyone in the room.
