    “Since you like her, keep a closer watch.”

    Fu Chaoyun saw the smile in Pei Xuezhi’s eyes.

    And then.

    “Meow~”

    A soft, coquettish sound.

    Fu Kitty’s beautiful amber eyes gleamed attractively under the streetlight, looking docile and well-behaved, making one want to pet her again and coax out more of those lovely sounds.

    But the real cat at their feet was startled by this sound.

    Its blue eyes, bright in the night, looked at one then the other, before darting into the bushes, vanishing in an instant.

    Seeing this scene, Pei Xuezhi laughed more cheerfully.

    “Not going to look for it? Jiejie, your cat is gone.”

    Fu Chaoyun felt a bit dejected, but looking at the cat balloon in her hand, she held it high and comforted herself, “It’s okay, there’s still one here, given by Zhizhi!”

    “…Mm.”

    Pei Xuezhi responded, her hand still resting on Fu Chaoyun’s head, gently petting, seeming quite pleased.

    Indeed, there was still one here.

    Yes, one that belonged to her.

    After the day’s group amusement park team-building activity ended, the villa returned to its daily routine, except…

    The show got another sponsor—from the haunted house :)

    Fu Chaoyun went to hang out with her fox and dog friends. Though these people didn’t camp in the livestream room daily, “Love at First Sight” had long overshadowed the neighboring celebrity dating show in popularity, trending every few days and airing weekly highlight editions, so they had seen some cuts.

    Upon meeting, they also followed netizens in calling Fu Chaoyun a “business genius.”

    Of course, they were teasing.

    Fu Chaoyun naturally heard the sarcasm—she didn’t want to take credit for any of these three sponsorships, waving her hand.

    “Go away!”

    Because of the camera following her, recent gatherings had been very plain. Fu Chaoyun had only come to bring drinks for Pei Xuezhi.

    As she stepped away slightly, taking the camera with her, this group became more animated, showing their true colors.

    “Ah Yun is really going all out this time, huh?”

    “Yeah, looking at those edits, I can barely recognize Ah Yun… do you think she’s serious this time?”

    “Hard to say.”

    “With Ah Yun’s personality, it’s really hard to tell, but that what’s-her-name Pei Xuezhi is truly beautiful. Getting an omega like that, even if it’s just acting for a month or two, it’s worth it!”

    “True, if we could just get a taste… hehe!”

    “…”

    Zhao Yujun was originally leaning on the sofa drinking, eyes half-closed, with an omega beside her acting coquettish. Suddenly, her wine glass slipped from her hand, and a large amount of wine happened to spill on the person who had been speaking most enthusiastically.

    Then it fell to the ground with a bang and shattered, some of the scattered glass splashing up to cut across those people’s legs, leaving streaks of blood.

    Not deep.

    Yet it instantly silenced the previously relaxed and light atmosphere in the private room, and the omega beside her no longer dared to curry favor, retreating slightly.

    While Zhao Yujun, who created all this, just looked over languidly.

    “Had enough to say?” The full force of her alpha presence suddenly bore down, as she propped up her head, speaking as if utterly bored, “Why not wait until Ah Yun returns, and continue speaking in front of the cameras? Tell all the viewers?”

    Silent as winter cicadas.

    A moment later, someone lowered their head and apologized, “Yujun, we’re drunk and talking nonsense, we won’t dare to again.”

    “Yeah.”

    “Just casual talk…”

    Even among second-generation rich, there are differences.

    Fu Chaoyun and Zhao Yujun were the two with the best family backgrounds here. Though everyone usually mixed together, if either of them truly became angry or displeased, the others couldn’t handle it.

    Recently, Fu Chaoyun’s temper seemed to have improved, and their courage inevitably grew somewhat, speaking such gossip behind her back, but they forgot Zhao Yujun was still present.

    Among the group, Zhao Yujun and Fu Chaoyun had the closest relationship, the others were just tagged along. These two had comparable family backgrounds, but strictly speaking, Zhao Yujun should be somewhat more formidable than Fu Chaoyun.

    Because she got into university through her own efforts.

    She had worked hard during her senior year, but after getting admitted, returned to her previous idle lifestyle. After graduation, she didn’t manage her family’s company affairs, but this point alone proved she had brains, she just chose to idle away.

    Compared to the recently approachable Fu Chaoyun, the currently angry Zhao Yujun was clearly more terrifying.

    Zhao Yujun’s eyes narrowed, looking for just a moment, “Oh.”

    The others sighed in relief, thinking the matter had passed.

    Zhao Yujun called over the server, signed the bill, including compensation for the sofa that had just been splashed with wine.

    Then she stood up herself.

    “Bored,” Zhao Yujun said languidly, “That’s it for today, go back to wherever you came from.”

    A perfectly good gathering dispersed like this, everyone looking at each other in dismay.

    Zhao Yujun walked to the female alpha’s restroom, seeing Fu Chaoyun fixing her appearance there. She stood slightly outside, not going over, taking out a cigarette, about to light it.

    Fu Chaoyun heard the lighter’s sound and turned directly.

    “Don’t smoke, the stink will get on me later.”

    Zhao Yujun’s movement paused.

    She laughed and scolded, “Alright, I know you’re going to pick up what’s-her-name later.” She ultimately put the cigarette away.

    After a while, Zhao Yujun asked again.

    “Getting along well with Sister-in-law?”

    “Don’t you watch the livestream?”

    “I do watch, but I can’t stare at it all day, otherwise this single dog would get too sour.”

    Unable to smoke, Zhao Yujun played with her lighter, on and off.

    Facing Zhao Yujun, both being alphas, Fu Chaoyun had no need to suppress her predatory aura.

    She teased back, “Oh? Could Miss Zhao ever lack company?”

    Zhao Yujun spread her hands, quite irreverent, “I do.”

    She was different from those others; though appearing to be a wastrel [纨绔 | wán kù | spoiled rich kid], she actually paid attention to boundaries between friends, and naturally wouldn’t mention Pei Xuezhi at such times.

    Fu Chaoyun laughed and scolded her again, answering, “It’s okay.” After thinking, she added, “Don’t call her that on camera, nothing’s confirmed yet.”

    The two were in the restroom where cameras wouldn’t follow, and Fu Chaoyun had turned off her microphone, so they could speak freely.

    “What?” Zhao Yujun asked, playing dumb.

    Fu Chaoyun gave her a white-eyed look [白眼 | bái yÇŽn | to roll one’s eyes], knowing the other’s persistent personality. Today’s teasing was inevitable, so she could only say those two words herself, “Sister-in-law!”

    Zhao Yujun laughed lightly, “Isn’t that just a matter of time? What’s wrong with me calling her that early… Of course, that’s if you’re serious.”

    Fu Chaoyun’s movements paused. She heard the implication in those words, finally putting away her playfulness and looking over with focus.

    “Then do you think I’m serious or not?”

    “I wouldn’t dare presume to decide for Miss Fu.” Zhao Yujun laughed, kicking the ball back, “After all, you’re the one dating, as long as you’re happy.”

    These words triggered Fu Chaoyun’s memories, unconsciously making her lips curl up, “It’s not bad.”

    Over there, Zhao Yujun watched her friend’s reaction.

    In this moment, the other’s ease and lightness were so genuine, the alpha’s exquisitely beautiful features relaxed, without a trace of gloom.

    Zhao Yujun was truly happy for her friend, but after some thought, she still added one more thing.

    “If you really care, why not settle it early? Like bringing her to meet your relatives and friends.”

    “To see you?”

    “I’m just a friend at most, I can’t make decisions for you. I mean your parents’ side.” At this moment, a flash of depth crossed Zhao Yujun’s eyes, and simultaneously, her tone changed.

    “Since you like her, keep a closer watch. You can give appropriate freedom, but you should also apply some pressure, at least—”

    “Let her know she can’t casually break off your relationship.”
