Ch.11 Pheromone Sucks!

“Quick, host, stand up, this is a great opportunity to counterattack and slap the female protagonist’s face. Prove your kindness and beauty in front of the male lead, and let the male lead realize that you are better than the female lead!”

When the system that had been silent for a few days saw Bai Yueguang [1] appear, he immediately started chirping in Qiao Mo’s mind as if injected with chicken blood.

“Host, a female side character who doesn’t want to be a female protagonist is not a good female side character. Don’t feel sorry for her. If you succeeded in winning Jian Luozhi, you will have everything.”

Qiao Mo didn’t pay attention to the chirping of the system, but the words of the system made Qiao Mo more aware of her current situation.

Since she got another chance at life, she just wants to live happily as a salted fish, not to fight with the female protagonist.

“I haven’t heard your voice for a few days, what were you doing?”

Qiao Mo chatted with the system while watching the play with her hands supporting her cheeks. Not everyone has the luck to enjoy such a romance drama.

This time the system was truly wronged, “Wasn’t it because the host hated the Xiaotong, so Xiaotong went to reflect on my behavior and strive to give the host the best golden finger.”

“No need.”

The system’s golden finger made Qiao Mo feel dread.

On the other side, Jian Luozhi coldly turned his head towards Bai Yueguang as a greeting, but there was no sign of welcoming them on his face.

Bai Yueguang’s eyes dimmed instantly, looking a little hurt.

Ouyang Ming, who was standing behind Bai Yueguang, saw it. He stepped forward immediately, winked at Jian Luozhi and said carelessly, “I say Lao Jian, you are too boring, you are eating alone here, without calling us a few friends. Bai Yueguang had mentioned it several time about gathering with old friends, saying that the last time we met, everyone hurriedly said goodbye, and she hadn’t had time to call you out to talk. Wanting to talk about the situation over the years, always thinking about asking you out someday when you are free. But seeing that you are a very busy person, she never dared to disturb you, but I really didn’t expect you to sneak time out of your busy schedule to come and eat here.”

“Lao Jian, is this the Miss Qiao that you were talking about. Really, Lao Jian, don’t you know how to introduce everyone. Hello Miss Qiao, we are Lao Jian’s friends. This is Miss Bai, the goddess of Lao Jian’s heart during our school days. Hey, you two are very beautiful, like two beautiful blooming flowers, and it will definitely look like a painting if you sit together.”

Ouyang Ming spoke in a familiar manner, while pushing Bai Yueguang to sit next to Qiao Mo. Both of them were female omegas, so it was not rude to sit like this.

Bai Yueguang was a little hesitant at first, but when Ouyang Ming pushed her, she bit her lip for a while, but in the end she sat down unwillingly.

Just as she felt an unknown sense of crisis after seeing Qiao Mo in person last time, look at the situation now, Qiao Mo is really special for Jian Luozhi, otherwise, with Jian Luozhi’s character, he would not have taken time free to bring her out for dinner.

If she is still going to hold onto her pride and not take a step ahead by herself, she really will no longer have any hope in front of Jian Luozhi.

Bai Yueguang is the female protagonist and Jian Luozhi is the male lead. The fate between the two is justified, so Qiao Mo has no reason to refuse.

So when Ouyang Ming pushed Bai Yueguang, Qiao Mo smiled kindly towards her, and then gave up her seat.

Ouyang Ming and Bai Yueguang sat down, and the others also got a reason to sit down.

No one in the Xicheng circle has never heard of Jian Luozhi, Bai Yueguang and his little lover. When they saw that all the parties in the love triangle were there, their hearts of gossip were ignited, so they just sat and waited for Jian Luozhi’s backyard to go on fire [2].

They thought that Qiao Mo would lose her temper and start a verbal war. After all, the little lover of Jian Luozhi was rumored to have a bad temper. She had given a demonstration as early as when Bai Yueguang returned to China.

However, what they didn’t expect was that Qiao Mo didn’t mind it at all. She just elegantly sat there and had a sweet smile on her face. On the contrary, Miss Bai’s face was not quite right.

These people looked at each other, and a strong thirst for gossip suddenly rose in their hearts.

Originally he just wanted to sit and have a meal with Qiao Mo quietly, but these group of people suddenly came. After these people sat down, the unconsciously leaking pheromones got mixed together, arousing the irritability in Jian Luozhi’s heart.

His face became as cold as frost, as he stood up, “Excuse me, I’ll go to the bathroom.”

After speaking, Jian Luozhi directly walked away, leaving the group of people looking at each other.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward. Bai Yueguang bit her lips and looked like she was about to cry.

Ouyang Ming looked at her worriedly, complaining in his heart that Jian Luozhi did not give Bai Yueguang any face, the other party was Miss Bai after all.

Qiao Mo was also a little embarrassed. She scratched her head, not sure if she should leave early.

But Jian Luozhi is her boss, and Jian Luozhi had invited her to eat this dinner. She hasn’t enjoyed it yet.

But this looks like a plot point where the relationship between the hero and heroine changes. Will it be bad for her to stay?

Before Qiao Mo was about to invite the waiter to pack the remaining dinner for her, Bai Yueguang also stood up and forced a smile, “I’m sorry, I’ll leave too.”

Others tried to persuade Bai Yueguang, Ouyang Ming said, “Lao Jian has such a stinky temper. You haven’t seen him for many years, so you probably don’t know much about his current situation.”

Bai Yueguang forced a smile and left in a hurry.

Qiao Mo also greeted the waiter and packed the sumptuous meal on the table amid the weird expressions of the others.

“What then, this is my work meal, I am going to pack it and take it away. You can ask my boss to order another table for you later.”

Ouyang Ming & others: “…”

Is she really trying to marry someone from a wealthy family, isn’t it just a joke?

Qiao Mo was packing food under other people’s strange eyes, while Jian Luozhi stood in front of the bathroom and watched the cigar at his fingertips go out.

He had just washed his face, with water droplets donning his temples and the tip of his nose, eyebrows looking as black as coal, like a lonely ice lotus exuding a faint coldness in the dark night.

The scent of the cigar soothed Jian Luozhi and calmed his irritable mood a bit.

It seems that the doctor is right. After forcibly using the pheromone modifier many times, his pheromone has been disordered to the point of hopelessness.

From sixteen to twenty-eight years old, for more than ten years, his body has already reached the state of collapse. Unless he chooses to gouge out the glands immediately, there will be irreversible consequences.

However, the bad thing is that the gland removal operation will not be performed until next month. During the preparation time of more than a month, he has to recuperate his body, lessen the use of pheromone modifiers and the susceptible period medicines.

The messy pheromone mixed together just now had already affected his fragile body.

He was about to send a message to Qiao Mo, asking Qiao Mo to leave with him, but a voice with a bit of sadness came from behind him, “Ah luo, you don’t want to see me, is it because I rejected you back then?”

Jian Luozhi’s hand paused, and a slight irritability arose in his heart.

He snuffed out the cigar in his hand, turned around, and looked at Bai Yueguang with an indifferent expression, “Bai Yueguang, you and I were misunderstood back then. It was also my fault, that I didn’t stop the rumors in time, but it’s impossible for me and you.”

However, Bai Yueguang mistakenly thought that Jian Luozhi was arrogant and wanted to save face. Her ruthless refusal at that time give rise to the current resentment in his heart, so now he is treating her coldly.

She bit her lower lip, and suddenly pounced on Jian Luozhi, while crying, “Ah luo, I regret it. I have been abroad these years, and I understood a lot of things. In fact, I also like you.”

Jian Luozhi’s body froze instantly, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, the cigar in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably, and a warm feeling began to fill his lower abdomen.

In order to prove her intentions, Bai Yueguang released her omega pheromone in order to tempt him, trying to affect his emotions.

However, this pheromone used by an omega to seduce, to Jian Luozhi, is tantamount to the poison capable of detonating the hidden bomb in his body.

Jian Luozhi’s breathing suddenly became heavy, his body trembled involuntarily, and his forehead was instantly covered with fine cold sweat.

Bai Yueguang was overjoyed, after she thought that she succeeded in the seduction, and her pheromone resonated with Jian Luozhi’s alpha pheromone, she was about to cry out her grievances and love for him.

At this moment, Qiao Mo, who wanted to say goodbye to Jian Luozhi secretly, happened to pass by and bumped into such an exciting scene.

Wow! Oh!

Qiao Mo raised her hands high, looking very innocent, “I’m sorry, I was just passing by, you can continue, I didn’t see anything.”

It is worthy of being a romance novel, worthy of the tags tyrant and goddesses. How sweet and loving is this scene, this is really the plot of a romance drama.

She had said that her appearance was just there to stimulated the emotional changes of the male and female protagonists, and now that the male and female protagonists are expressing their affection to each other, it is time for her as a cannon fodder to leave the stage.

Seeing Qiao Mo’s appearance, Bai Yueguang’s expression was a little flustered at first, because for an omega who was also born as the part of the high society, it was extremely shameless to use pheromones to lure an alpha, but then Bai Yueguang secretly became happy.

Qiao Mo is her biggest competitor, and it is only good and nothing bad for her, that Qiao Mo saw this scene.

So instead of letting go of her hand, Bai Yueguang lowered her eyes shyly, getting closer and closer to Jian Luozhi.

But an unexpected scene happened.

Jian Luozhi actually pushed Bai Yueguang away, stumbled towards Qiao Mo, slammed into her, and was unconsciously hugged by Qiao Mo.

Bai Yueguang staggered back, fell to the ground and covered her face, crying aggrievedly.

Qiao Mo looked towards Bai Yueguang, who was crying on the ground, and at Jian Luozhi, whose face was as cold as ice in her arms. For a while, she couldn’t react.

At this time, Bai Yueguang’s companions also chased after the three people, but they arrived a little late. Even they were stunned when they saw this scene.

It was Ouyang Ming who rushed over and helped Bai Yueguang up, as the expressions of several people became a little ugly.

Jian Luozhi panted and whispered in her ear, “Let’s go.”

Qiao Mo was still a little hesitant, wanting to explain. If she really left with Jian Luozhi in this situation, the misunderstanding between the male and female protagonists would become more serious.

However, Jian Luozhi is her boss, and it seems that she should listen to Jian Luozhi’s words.

Just as Qiao Mo hesitated for a while, Jian Luozhi’s breathing became heavier and deeper, his body became weak, putting his entire weight on Qiao Mo.

Qiao Mo felt that something was wrong and turned her head to look, and found that Jian Luozhi’s eyes were half closed.

Did Jian Luozhi suddenly became ill?

Without any hesitation, Qiao Mo quickly left the restaurant with Jian Luozhi, who was feeling weak all over.
