Seductive Beauty - Chapter 85

Chapter 85

"Lanlan, it's time to get up." The whisper, like a demon's call, nagged incessantly at her ear. Wen Qiulan wrapped her arms around the little wildcat who was bothering her, kneading her head and pressing her against her chest. Then she heard a chuckle from the other woman, followed by even more audacious little movements.

The soft mound on her chest was the little wildcat's favorite spot. She always liked to grip it firmly, molding it into various shapes, and she also loved, just like now, to press her own softness against Wen Qiulan's, squeezing and colliding.

"Xiao Yi, don't stir up trouble." "I'm not stirring up trouble. Lanlan has gotten lazy, still not up at nine, but Pink Baby is already very spirited," Yi Wei said coquettishly, her hand sliding restlessly below Wen Qiulan's lower abdomen. An Alpha's physical constitution often couldn't avoid such a physiological reaction. Even though they had been fooling around with Yi Wei for quite a while last night, it would still rise tirelessly this morning.

"Xiao Yi, we really need to exercise some restraint. I looked it up. Doing this sort of thing too much isn't good either. Be good, listen to me." With her vital spot held in Yi Wei's grasp, Wen Qiulan suppressed a light pant and stroked Yi Wei's cheek as if coaxing a child. The latter was soothed by the gesture, yet still refused to give up.

"But it's morning now. Pink Baby and I haven't been in contact for ten hours. How can that be considered lacking restraint? Besides, Pink Baby is like this in the morning. Lanlan must be uncomfortable," Yi Wei declared with righteous conviction, her perverse logic particularly abundant in this area.

Hearing her words, Wen Qiulan finally opened her eyes and gazed softly at Yi Wei.

Teased into comfort by Yi Wei, Wen Qiulan's eyes were veiled with a layer of watery mist. When she opened her eyes, meeting her gaze at such close range was stunning. Yi Wei couldn't resist kissing Wen Qiulan, lifting her nightgown up and removing her underwear before taking the spirited Pink Baby inside her. Wen Qiulan clutched the bedsheets, dragged forcibly into a new round of lovemaking. The two of them fooled around until noon before finally getting out of bed.

"Lanlan, do you have anything to do this afternoon?" Having done what she loved to do, Yi Wei got up refreshed and invigorated. In contrast, Wen Qiulan's face betrayed a faint weariness. Seeing her old school partner unconsciously rub her still sore waist, Yi Wei suddenly felt she might have gone a bit overboard.

"I'm going to pick up a friend this afternoon. She just returned from the Moon. We haven't seen each other in a long time."

Mentioning this person, Wen Qiulan brightened a little. She and Mo Shuran had known each other since childhood. They were the same age, both Alphas. Since their families lived close and the elders had good relations, Wen Qiulan had played with Mo Shuran from a young age. Their personalities were similar, both of the steady type. The only difference was that Wen Qiulan loved music, while Mo Shuran loved traveling everywhere to take photographs. Her good friend had gone to the Moon for two years without returning. Now that she was back and had contacted her immediately, Wen Qiulan was naturally happy.

"I see. Then I'll take care of some things this afternoon too and be back tonight. Lanlan, don't miss me too much," Yi Wei said with a smile, kissing Wen Qiulan on the lips once more before leaving. Seeing her off, Wen Qiulan stood outside the door and watched her car drive into the distance. Then she changed clothes and headed to the agreed upon cafe to meet Mo Shuran.

Both were punctual people. Mo Shuran's punctuality was even more outrageous, precise down to the second. At exactly 13:00 in the afternoon, they both appeared at the entrance of the designated cafe. They stood facing each other against the wind, Wen Qiulan dressed entirely in white, while Mo Shuran was her precise opposite in black.

"A Lan, long time no see." Mo Shuran paused briefly upon seeing Wen Qiulan. Her fingers, hanging at her side, twitched slightly. A short, subtle rise and fall in her throat preceded her words.

"Yes, it's truly been a long time. You, going to the Moon for so long without contacting anyone, I had no idea how you were doing," Wen Qiulan walked over and gave Mo Shuran a hug. The latter took a step back, but then followed her heart and actively moved forward into the embrace.

"I was afraid of adding trouble to your work. Come on, let's go inside first." With that, Mo Shuran gently pushed Wen Qiulan back and opened the door for her. They entered one after the other. Mo Shuran was even taller than Wen Qiulan, a very advantageous height among female Alphas. Seeing her actively pull out a chair for her, Wen Qiulan smiled, thanked her, and sat opposite her.

"Still the same as usual?" The cafe Mo Shuran chose was one they used to frequent. Mo Shuran liked organizing her photo albums here, while Wen Qiulan enjoyed reading here. They often arranged to come together, sitting the whole afternoon.

"Mm. You still like Americanos?"

"Still do, but this time I can take a little sugar."

As Mo Shuran spoke, she winked at Wen Qiulan. Her features were of a strikingly heroic type, possessing classic Eastern qualities alongside Western depth. She had dyed her hair haze blue, simply tied back in a ponytail. She wore all black attire, and around her neck hung a dark blue necklace Wen Qiulan had once given her. Wen Qiulan called the server and placed their order. The two of them chatted intermittently. Meeting Mo Shuran this time, Wen Qiulan also wanted to tell her about herself and Yi Wei.

"A Ran, I have something I want to share with you. Recently, I found someone I like," Wen Qiulan said softly, her tone carrying undisguised delight. Hearing this, Mo Shuran, who had been stirring her coffee with a spoon, trembled, almost dropping the spoon on the table. She steadied herself and looked up at Wen Qiulan.

This person still loved wearing such pristine white. Just like her, so utterly clean. Her long black hair was parted down the middle, framing her cheeks. Her gentle face radiated a warmth that reached deep into one's heart. Wen Qiulan, she had finally found someone she liked?

"Really? What kind of Omega is she? Or did you find a Beta?"

"She's an Omega, my... former student. Although she's much younger than me, she's very reliable. She's a wonderful girl." As Wen Qiulan mentioned Yi Wei, a faint smile graced her face, causing her to miss the flicker of disappointment in Mo Shuran's eyes.

"I thought with your temperament, you might never meet someone you liked in this lifetime. That you could find someone suitable is wonderful."

"When she's free, I'll introduce you to her. But enough about me. What about you? Have you found a suitable lover?" Wen Qiulan looked Mo Shuran up and down. She knew all too well that her close friend had always been very popular, yet the extremely picky Mo Shuran had rarely ever sought out a lover.

"A lover? I just broke up before coming back. No plans to find one recently. Also, this is for you. You mentioned before you wanted to see the aurora, so I specially photographed an aurora album for you." As she spoke, Mo Shuran pulled a photo album from her bag. Wen Qiulan's eyes lit up with surprise upon hearing this. She accepted it with a smile, and also took out her own gift for her.

"Here, this is for you. I know you like blue. See if you like it." What Wen Qiulan gave was an exquisite wristband. Though just a small accessory, the thoughtfulness behind it was considerable. The leather was precious, and every piece of embroidery on it was handmade. In this era dominated by machines, handcrafting had instead become the most expensive form of labor. Such a gift consumed not only time but also a great deal of heartfelt effort.

"A Lan, thank you. I like it very much. Would you like to go out for a stroll tonight?" Mo Shuran clearly didn't want to part from Wen Qiulan so soon. But upon hearing her invitation, Wen Qiulan's expression turned troubled.

"Sorry, A Ran. I'm afraid tonight won't work. Can we do it another day? I also want to visit Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo. My mothers miss you a lot too."

"Alright, any time is fine."

They chatted for a while longer. Then Wen Qiulan's communicator lit up. She stepped away briefly to take the call. When she returned, she immediately mentioned needing to leave.

"A Ran, I have to go now." "Mm, go on, you're busy," Mo Shuran said quietly, observing the joy in Wen Qiulan's eyes. She watched Wen Qiulan leave, thinking of the undisguised tenderness the other had shown when answering the communicator. In the end, such a person still belonged to someone else. Perhaps that was for the best. She wouldn't have to hope for anything anymore. When Wen Qiulan returned, Yi Wei had already showered and was lying on the sofa. Seeing her come back, Yi Wei stretched out her hands, insisting that Wen Qiulan pick her up.

"What did Lanlan bring back?"

"It's an aurora photo album from a friend. Do you want to take a look?" Wen Qiulan took out the album and told Yi Wei about Mo Shuran. Listening, Yi Wei's gaze scrutinized the photo album. She could tell that this album must have involved considerable care and a very long time to produce. Giving such an album to someone signified that the relationship was definitely not shallow. Normally, since the other party was an Alpha, she shouldn't be suspicious. But remembering that Dana was also an Alpha who liked Alphas, she couldn't help but worry.

"Lanlan, are you very close with this friend?"

"She's a friend I've known since I was little, also my best friend."

"I see. But this photo album is so thoughtfully done, it doesn't look at all like a gift for a friend. More like a gift for a girlfriend. Your friend... she doesn't like you, does she?"

Yi Wei probed tentatively. After she asked, Wen Qiulan paused slightly, then laughed and pinched her nose. "You, what goes on in that little head of yours all day? A Ran is also an Alpha. She couldn't possibly like me," Wen Qiulan explained gently, showing no sign of losing her temper even when questioned. Yi Wei murmured an "Oh" and didn't press further, though she remained somewhat uneasy.

"Xiao Yi, take a look first. I'm going to shower." Seeing that Yi Wei seemed quite interested in the album, Wen Qiulan left it for her to peruse while she went to bathe. Once she was gone, Yi Wei immediately contacted Deonise.

"Miss, how may I be of service?"

"Help me investigate Lanlan's good friend. Find out who she met with this afternoon. Her background, her experiences over the years. I want it before tonight."

"Yes, I shall attend to it immediately."

Yi Wei had just finished instructing Deonise when, not long after, Wen Qiulan emerged from her shower. She had changed into her usual white nightgown, a simple camel colored outer robe draped over it. Watching her walk towards her with a gentle smile, toweling her half dried long hair, her entire being exuded a desire in others to draw close and be intimate. Gazing at this Wen Qiulan, Yi Wei felt that the statement "an Alpha wouldn't like an Alpha" was a lie. Who wouldn't like someone like Wen Qiulan?

At this thought, Yi Wei felt a sense of crisis. Her own Alpha was too outstanding, bound to attract the covetous attention of many.
