Chapter 65: Date

Chapter 65: Date

Not long ago, the omega who had been shy in front of Ji Chenxi sat at a pretty little table and complained, "Sir, I've done as you instructed, but he's too cautious and completely uncooperative."

"Cautious?" the person hidden in the shadows asked lightly, then laughed while swirling a glass of red wine, "It's not that he's cautious, it's just that he's entirely uninterested in you. Even speaking a few words is merely out of politeness towards an omega. But it's not a big deal; that angle is quite good."

Now that the girl had completed her task, she should step back, but being only seventeen and coddled like a delicate flower, she boldly asked her question.

"Then, sir, why do we need to take such photos? They're just a bit more intimate with an omega; surely they wouldn't impact a prince."

It couldn't be that they wanted to ruin the third prince's engagement with rumors about an omega, right? The girl didn't understand the details but knew that the third prince's earlier outing with Miss Lu of the Twelve Zodiac fairies had garnered a lot of attention. Such a handsome alpha risking himself to save an omega would surely attract interest, especially since Miss Lu seemed quite taken with the third prince.

Her question was quite rude, yet the person was not angry; instead, they lightly warned her, "Don't ask what you shouldn't know."

The girl puffed her cheeks. Although the person was also an alpha, their appearance was so captivating that she found it hard to feel fear. Nonetheless, she obediently replied, "Okay, I won't ask. By the way, are you free next week? The Ice Starflower on Beiyang Star is about to bloom."

The person stared at the girl without speaking, making her genuinely anxious, her blush much more vivid than when she saw Ji Chenxi, "Let's go see it together."

After a long silence, just as the girl was about to stomp away in frustration, the person finally said, "If there's a chance."

The girl, who had just been impatient, finally broke into a smile, "Then it's a promise!"

Once the light-footed girl completely left, in the luxurious room, the person hidden in the shadows poured another glass of red wine, the vibrant liquid swirling in the cup.

"If you're still alive."

The soft voice clearly followed from the previous sentence, but the only listener had long gone. Without the listener's words, the words were scattered by the wind, leaving no one to know.

Ji Chenxi had little experience with dates; it was probably not much different from hanging out with friends.

He tried to keep his expression neutral, but it was undeniable that he felt happy, which even reflected in his slightly lighter steps. If it weren't for that annoying meeting and the omega who had approached him midway, Ji Chenxi would have been even happier.

A little snake, attempting to disguise itself as an ornament, quietly moved. Ji Chenxi silently tapped its head, signaling it to stay still. The little snake lightly bit Ji Chenxi's hand with its poisonous fangs, displeased by the omega's scent on him.

A faint strawberry cream scent wafted through, perhaps due to the omega's nervousness or intentionality, causing a slight leakage of pheromones. Given that the omega already had a hint of their own scent, even without any intimate contact, Ji Chenxi had still picked up some pheromonal traces.

After exiting the Imperial Royal Academy, Ji Chenxi headed straight to the place they had agreed upon. He had thought he would have to wait a bit, especially since he had left early, but to his surprise, a delayed floating car was already waiting for him.
