MTL - I Let the Boss A Become O-Chapter 18 ·?
It's the rush hour, the sky is not yet dark, the road is full of traffic, the sound of horns keeps coming and going, people on the road are in a hurry, just want to go home as soon as possible to enjoy the rare weekend.
In front of the resplendent Ansan Hotel, there were more private cars in the parking lot earlier than usual, as if some grand banquet was being held here.
Lu Xi got out of the car, closed the door behind his back, straightened his skirt, and walked towards the hotel entrance with a blank expression.
Today is the 80th birthday party of the Wen family's grandmother, and the Wen family made a big deal of it, inviting all the famous people in Rongcheng.
As the granddaughter "adopted" by the Wen family, Lu Xi must be indispensable in such an occasion.
Lu Xi didn't have any expression on his face, and he walked steadily all the way, but he was extremely depressed in his heart.
After attending Shen Yu's reception banquet last time, this time she was going to attend the birthday banquet of an old lady she didn't know at all.
She just wants to lie on a small bed in the dormitory by herself, is it so difficult! ?
I have to say that rich people are really arrogant, they can put out a banquet no matter what.
Lu Xi muttered silently, feeling like he could predict his own future. This is the old lady of the Wen family's birthday and she is going to attend a birthday banquet. Next time she might appear at a wedding banquet, a hundred-day banquet, if If anyone related to the Wen family died, she might appear at the funeral...
Just thinking about it makes one's legs go weak.
Under the leadership of the waiter, Lu Xi walked up to the second floor. For this birthday banquet, the Wen family booked all the second and third floors of the hotel. The second floor is used to entertain guests, while the third floor is for eating later. cafeteria.
At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the lobby on the second floor, and Lu Xi saw an old lady sitting on a sandalwood chair in the lobby, surrounded by a crowd of guests.
She was wearing a silk dress with a small cape on her shoulders. She was very elegantly dressed, with a decent smile on her face all the time. Her silver-gray hair was neatly combed and tied into a bun behind her head. Even though he was eighty years old and was an out-and-out old man, when Lu Xi saw her, he was still amazed.
With a second glance, Lu Xi saw Wen's father, Wen's mother, and Wen Qingmo who were closest to the old lady.
At any rate, seeing someone he knew, Lu Xi's nervous mood relaxed a little.
The sharp-eyed Mother Wen saw her first, and immediately waved to Lu Xi with a smile: "Xiao Xi, come here quickly."
Lu Xi took a deep breath, put on a lively smile, squeezed through the crowd, and walked quickly to Wen's grandmother.
"Come on, Xiaoxi, let me have a look," the old lady smiled kindly and took Lu Xi's hand, letting her sit beside her, "Oh, Xiaoxi has grown so big, I miss you back then. When I came to Wen's house, I was still a child..."
As she spoke, she patted Lu Xi's head again.
Lu Xi sat obediently and let her touch it. Such a kind old man would inevitably remind her of her grandma and grandma. Lu Xi smiled and presented her present: "Grandma, this is the tea set I bought for you. It's been a long time since I picked it, so I wish you a happy birthday."
This is not a lie, Lu Xi originally wanted Jiang Yue to buy it for him, but in the end he chose to pick it himself.
The old lady patted Lu Xi's gift box with a smile: "Okay, thank you Xiao Xi, it just so happens that my tea set should be replaced, and I will use yours tomorrow."
Then the old lady asked a few more questions about Lu Xi's recent situation, and soon a few new guests arrived, walking up to the old lady to celebrate her birthday.
Seeing the old lady chatting with others, Lu Xi also backed away in time, and sat in a corner with few people.
She sat on the sofa alone for a while, feeling a little bored, so she got up and walked to the oil paintings hanging on the wall of the hall, admiring them one by one.
In fact, she can't understand these paintings, but she must find something for herself to do.
"Second Young Master Wen, you are here."
"Come, come, Second Young Master Wen, please come in."
…
Suddenly, there was a noise from the stairs, and Lu Xi couldn't help but turn around, and saw Wen Qiuhan walking in with a female companion in a suit and leather shoes.
Wen Qiuhan's expression was as cold and gloomy as ever. Contrary to his arrogance-filled appearance, it was the female companion next to him—the female was petite and thin, and she looked like an Omega at first glance. Holding Wen Qiuhan's arm, timidly, he looked very reserved, as if he was out of place for such an occasion.
Lu Xi immediately remembered a certain plot in the original book.
In the book, after Wen Qiuhan broke up with the original owner, he adopted/raised the heroine Ruan Ying. During the process of adopting/raising, Ruan Ying couldn't help being attracted by the domineering and arrogant Wen Qiuhan, gradually fell in love with him, and expressed her love to Wen Qiuhan.
Of course, as a novel that abuses both body and mind, Wen Qiuhan in the early stage naturally disdains Ruan Ying's love, thinking that she is completely wishful thinking.
One of the plots after Ruan Ying's confession was that Wen Qiuhan brought Ruan Ying to her grandmother's birthday banquet, so that Ruan Ying could recognize the gap between the two.
So... is this Omega the heroine Ruan Ying?
The series of behaviors of her breaking up with Wen Qiuhan in the early stage caused the development of the plot to deviate from the original book, but if the Omega in front of her is the heroine Ruan Ying, it means that the development of the plot in the book will automatically return to the right track, and her You don't have to worry about serious consequences if your behavior is inconsistent with the original person's design.
As more and more people came, several old friends of the old lady also arrived.
Wen Qingmo changed his standing posture and moved his body a little bit. From the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at the sofa that Lu Xi was sitting on just now, but now there was no one on the sofa.
Wen Qingmo was slightly stunned, couldn't help being distracted, and raised her eyes to look around the hall.
Finally, his eyes fell on Lu Xi standing in front of an oil painting.
What Lu Xi wore today was exactly the dress he gave her earlier. It was a blue dress with a small half of her fair back exposed. The color of the skirt gradually changed from light blue to dark blue. The dots of pearl light are like the waves of the sea.
Wen Qingmo immediately discovered that Lu Xi was not actually admiring the oil painting in front of him, but turned his head and looked at something very intently.
Wen Qingmo followed Lu Xi's gaze.
——I saw Wen Qiuhan and his female companion.
Wen Qingmo was taken aback for a moment, and as Wen Qiuhan walked in front of the old lady, Lu Xi's eyes also turned. She frowned slightly and bit her lip, as if she was thinking about something.
That kind of look, as if no one else existed, only Wen Qiuhan could make her notice.
…
Lu Xi was looking at that female Omega, when suddenly a figure stood in front of her.
Lu Xi was forced to look away, and looked up, and saw a familiar face—Wen Qingmo.
"Brother?" Lu Xi was very surprised. Didn't she remember that Wen Qingmo was there with her grandmother? Why are you here again now?
"Cufflinks." Wen Qingmo's thin lips slightly parted, and spit out two words.
"Ah?" Lu Xi didn't react immediately.
"Cufflinks, have you brought them?" Wen Qingmo repeated blankly.
"Ah... I brought it!" Lu Xi suddenly remembered that he still owed him something, and hurriedly took out the cufflinks from the small pocket of his skirt, and handed them to Wen Qingmo.
I always feel...Wen Qingmo seems to be in a bad mood.
Is it her illusion?
"I'm sorry, I left it here for so long." Lu Xi apologized to him.
"...It's okay," Wen Qingmo said, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he asked calmly, "How about the clothes? Does it still fit?"
Lu Xi lowered his head and tugged at the hem of the skirt: "...it fits, of course it fits, and it also looks good, brother, you have really good eyesight."
She admired it wholeheartedly.
It's not that Lu Xi is flattering or something. Last weekend, Chen Zhao sent her three pieces of clothing, each of which was so beautiful that she, who is usually not very keen on updating clothes, took pictures with her mobile phone. Several photos.
When I came to the birthday banquet today, Lu Xi still chose among these three for a long time, and finally chose this blue one.
After finishing speaking, Lu Xi sneaked another glance at Wen Qingmo.
But... wait.
On this occasion, Wen Qingmo, as the eldest grandson of the Wen family's grandmother and the heir of the Wen family, should entertain guests instead of chatting with himself in this corner.
Could it be that Wen Qingmo came to chat with her because he thought he was too boring?
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Xi couldn't help feeling a little moved.
In order not to be cold, Lu Xi thought for a while, and then took the initiative to start the topic: "Brother, do you know the girl next to Wen Qiuhan?"
Hearing Lu Xi's question, Wen Qingmo's face froze all of a sudden, he clicked his tongue imperceptibly, and said, "I don't know."
After a pause for a few seconds, he asked again, "Why, are you interested?"
Sensing that Wen Qingmo's tone was a little strange, Lu Xi realized that he was too eager to determine whether it was Ruan Ying, so that it was easy to misunderstand when he asked.
It's very similar to the kind of love brain that is still nostalgic for the ex-boyfriend.
Lu Xi hurriedly waved his hands to defend: "No, no, I just want to get to know her because I see she looks good..."
Wen Qingmo looked at her with obvious disbelief in his eyes.
"Mr. Wen, good evening."
But before he could speak again, someone suddenly interrupted him. Lu Xi looked over and saw that the other party was a male Alpha, and he was accompanied by a good-looking female O. Although the man was almost fifty years old by visual inspection, he still looked very talented. He stretched out his hand to Wen Qingmo: "I don't know if Mr. Wen still has an impression of me, I am..."
"Remember, Haina's boss, long time no see."
Wen Qingmo nodded, showing a formulaic smile, and shook his hand firmly.
"Hi Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, by the way, let me introduce you, this is my daughter..." the man said, pulling the woman next to him to Wen Qingmo.
Seeing that this is the rhythm of making a matchmaking match, Lu Xi felt that she was emitting a bright light, she made a gesture to Wen Qingmo, left consciously, and ran to the side to look at the painting again.
Perhaps because the two sons of the Wen family are both young and talented Alphas, there are a lot of guests who talk to them, wave after wave, almost all of them talking about business matters.
Of course, there are also people who come to chat with Lu Xi, but there are far fewer people, after all she is still a student, and most of them just come to chat with each other.
After Lu Xi dealt with it a few times, he looked around aimlessly in the hall again.
As time passed, all the guests arrived one after another, the greetings that should be said were greeted, and the gift givers also gave gifts. The old lady sat up slowly from the chair, and with the support of Wen's father and mother, and The guests walked to the third floor together.
Lu Xi hurriedly trotted a few steps to keep up with the large army.
At this moment, she saw Wen Qingmo at the end of the crowd suddenly stopped, leaned forward to hold the handrail of the stairs, bent slightly and stopped for three or four seconds.
...are you feeling unwell?
Lu Xi instinctively wanted to run over, but in the next second, Wen Qingmo straightened up and continued walking upstairs with a normal expression, as if everything that happened just now was Lu Xi's hallucination.
Lu Xi: "..."
The third floor is a large banquet hall, which has nearly ten tables, and the guests are seated one after another according to the arrangement. Lu Xi, as a member of the Wen family, naturally sits at the same table with the old lady.
Wen Qingmo sat down before her, and stretched out his hand to help Lu Xi open the chair.
"…thanks."
Lu Xi was flattered.
Why didn't she see that Wen Qingmo was such a gentleman before?
The entire birthday banquet process was similar to the one Lu Xi attended before, but this time the scene was bigger and more grand.
Serve a few dishes first, and after everyone has eaten their stomachs, they start toasting the old birthday star. Father Wen will say the opening toast first, and then the juniors of the Wen family will toast the old lady, followed by friends.
Lu Xi lined up with a wine glass, walked up to the old lady, and touched the glass to her a little lower: "I wish grandma a prosperous sun and moon, Song He Changchun."
"Hey, okay, I'll borrow some good words from our Xiaoxi." Grandma Wen patted her on the shoulder with a smile on her face.
Lu Xi returned to her seat and put down her wine glass. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Wen Qingmo who was beside her with her hands on her belly, but she didn't think too much, and started to eat the main course that was served.
It is said that the food here is a fusion of some French cuisine styles. Lu Xi looked at a white plate that was served, and there was only a fried thing covered with fresh sea urchin on it. She picked it up and took a bite, and found that it was actually fried oysters.
Lu Xi has never eaten sea urchins before, but only watched them in some videos, and he was prepared to be uncomfortable with the taste, but he didn't expect that there was no fishy smell, and it tasted very fresh instead.
The disadvantage is that there is no bite.
There are many styles of dishes, but the portion of each dish is very small. The chef is busy serving the dishes, and Lu Xi has no time to worry about other things, so he starts to try various new dishes.
This foie gras **** tastes a little strange, it is too greasy, but the persimmon smoothie is delicious...
As she ate and ate, Lu Xi also got used to this kind of crowded place, but occasionally her elders asked her mostly questions about how she was studying, what she planned to do after graduation, and whether she planned to get married. After being asked a few times, Lu Xi, a master of deception, has already answered this question fluently, and he can answer it with four or two thousand pounds of effort, which is almost as good as not answering, and it will not embarrass the elders.
Halfway through the meal, there was another wave of toasting each other.
"Mr. Wen! I would like to toast you, please take care of your business in the future!...Mr. Wen? Mr. Wen!"
Someone at the table next to him came to ask Wen Qingmo to toast, but Wen Qingmo didn't respond to the middle of the conversation, as if he didn't hear half of it at all. Even Lu Xi stopped eating and looked at Wen Qingmo in surprise.
The man lowered his head slightly, his face was not very good-looking, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He put one hand on the dining table and the other on his stomach. When the other party called his name for the third time, he suddenly came back to his senses and straightened up. It can be said that he showed an apologetic smile in a gaffe: "Sorry, sorry, I was distracted."
As Wen Qingmo said, he quickly regained his composure and clinked glasses with the man: "Please take care of me in the future."
After the other party left, Lu Xi hesitated for a while, approached Wen Qingmo slightly, and asked in a very low voice: "Are you okay?"
Wen Qingmo put down his wine glass and glanced at Lu Xi. He didn't speak or move, but slowly clenched his fingers into a fist.
"Rest period?"
Lu Xi didn't make a sound, and only asked again with his mouth. Under the light of the crystal chandelier, Wen Qingmo's face was pale and ugly.
Even though he asked, Lu Xi didn't feel Wen Qingmo's pheromone.
But still need to confirm.
Wen Qingmo reacted for a moment, then shook his head, Lu Xi could see that he was preoccupied, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it.
In the presence of everyone, and Wen Qingmo was not in heat, Lu Xi felt that it was inconvenient to continue caring about him in his own capacity, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Xi poked at the fried fish steaks on the plate, only then did he realize that there was still a lot of food left in front of Wen Qingmo, and most of them didn't even move a bite.
Seeing Wen Qingmo like this, Lu Xi was a little absent-minded, unable to concentrate on cooking as he did at the beginning, and kept paying attention to Wen Qingmo from the corner of his eye.
To be honest, she was quite worried about him.
Wen Qingmo felt more and more wrong with herself.
After going through the previous few times, especially the last painful estrus period, he is now very sensitive to the changes in his body, and he is always tense.
But this time...it doesn't seem to be a rut.
Just plain unwell.
Very uncomfortable.
The lower back was so sore and soft, as if there were always hands pinching it, once the back was straightened, there was a feeling that she couldn't sit still, so Wen Qingmo had to bend down after a while to relieve the discomfort.
But he didn't dare to make it too obvious. After repeating this a few times, his back was covered with sweat.
There were bursts of pain in the lower abdomen, even though the heating was fully turned on in the banquet hall, and everyone at the table was eating with only their single clothes on, Wen Qingmo still felt cold hands and feet.
He put his hand under the table, and pressed **** his abdomen without any trace, trying to relieve it, but the pain became more and more severe, Wen Qingmo hurriedly let go, using all his willpower to prevent himself from lying on the table in public.
what is the problem?
Could it be the sequela after the secondary differentiation into Omega?
Or maybe it's because he's been too busy with work these days...
Wen Qingmo couldn't help but took out his phone, wanting to ask Song Xuan what was going on, just clicked on Song Xuan's dialog box, before the message was sent, he suddenly realized something.
Song Xuan reminded him before that if he differentiated into an Omega, he would...
It's just that he was embarrassed at the time, so he hastily interrupted Song Xuan, saying that he would pay attention.
Then forget about it.
For a moment, Wen Qingmo's breathing became a little messy, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he instinctively looked at Lu Xi.
Sensing Wen Qingmo's gaze, Lu Xi immediately turned his head and gave Wen Qingmo a questioning look.
But Wen Qingmo immediately turned his head away, staggering to meet Lu Xi's gaze.
Lu Xi:?
What is this doing?
The underground/underground/party joints are not so difficult to understand.
Now Lu Xi can almost be sure that something happened to Wen Qingmo, but he has been hovering on the edge of whether to say or not. At this time, Wen Qingmo in Lu Xi's eyes is a progress bar that will not move after loading to 99%. There is nothing to do in a hurry.
After a while, she saw Wen Qingmo pick up the phone and put it to her ear: "Hello, hello."
Lu Xi is sitting on Wen Qingmo's right. From her angle, she can see that Wen Qingmo's cell phone has a black screen from the beginning to the end, and no one calls him at all.
Then Wen Qingmo pushed away the chair and walked out.
Lu Xi sat on the seat with a dazed expression, and took another mouthful of the smoothie that was about to melt.
I don't know how long it has passed, Lu Xi was too full to eat half a mouthful, the phone in front of him suddenly beeped, and the screen turned on.
The above is the message sent by Wen Qingmo.
—Can you come out for a while.
Seeing this news, Lu Xi, who was already a bit sleepy, woke up in an instant. She didn't know whether it was because of excitement or some inexplicable speed up of her heartbeat. At the beginning, they were more reserved, and everyone chatted enthusiastically.
No one noticed her, and Lu Xi was about to sneak out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up to leave, the old lady found out: "Xiaoxi, why are you going, are you full?"
Lu Xi turned around stiffly, and then said coquettishly: "I've already eaten, it's too boring here, I want to go out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while."
She's a college student, and she's the youngest here, so she doesn't seem to have a problem with being dishonest and running around.
"Okay," the old lady waved her hand, "Be careful."
After getting permission, Lu Xi slipped away immediately with oil on his feet.
Pushing the door open, Lu Xi saw Wen Qingmo standing not far from the corridor, seeing Lu Xi coming out, Wen Qingmo immediately took a few steps forward.
Lu Xi ran over quickly and grabbed Wen Qingmo's arm: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
In a daze, Lu Xi always felt that "Are you okay" had already said to Wen Qingmo many times...
Why does Wen Qingmo always seem sick and troubled in front of her...
Wen Qingmo's chest rose and fell, and his breath was obviously unstable. To Lu Xi's surprise, Wen Qingmo grabbed her arm with his backhand, and then approached her, his eyes were full of panic and helplessness, and his voice trembled slightly :"me…"
"Don't worry, what's the matter, speak slowly, don't worry." Seeing the cold sweat on Wen Qingmo's head, Lu Xi's Alpha soul was burning instantly, she took Wen Qingmo to the corner, and comforted him softly.
"..."
The gaffe was fleeting, Wen Qingmo quickly forced himself to calm down, he took a deep breath, but the color of his bleeding lips still showed his physical weakness.
Under Lu Xi's gaze, Wen Qingmo closed her eyes and said in self-defeating, "I'm bleeding."
"Bleeding? Where?"
Wen Qingmo: "..."
Lu Xi swore that she really didn't realize what Wen Qingmo was talking about at the first time, so she asked subconsciously, but then, she saw Wen Qingmo's ear pinnae stained with light pink, doing two things in the original world. With more than ten years of experience in healthy women, Lu Xi quickly understood what Wen Qingmo meant.
"So... your period?"
Lu Xi looked up at Wen Qingmo, and asked a difficult question.
The author has something to say:
