The Innocent Beta is Caught in a Love Triangle

Let Me Warm You in Bed

Su Yutang’s warm body pressed flush against Lin Meng’s bare back, and her heart jolted as if electrified, making her tremble.

Even so, Lin Meng didn’t dare turn around. She didn’t know whether what Su Yutang had said was true.

Lin Meng stayed frozen in Su Yutang’s arms for a long moment before she finally mustered the courage. “Miss... Miss Su, now that you’ve vented your anger, can you let me go?”

At Lin Meng’s words, Su Yutang released her. Only when the sensation at her back disappeared did Lin Meng exhale in relief, as if she’d just been granted a reprieve.

Su Yutang’s mood seemed to lift instantly as she walked to the glass cage door and opened it with her fingerprint. Lin Meng lifted her head to look at the somewhat blurry doorframe; after only a moment’s hesitation, she darted past Su Yutang and ran out.

She didn’t know if Su Yutang would go back on her word and lock the door again. To be safe, running out first was definitely the right call!

Su Yutang found Lin Meng’s desperate scramble amusing, but the next moment, just as she was about to come out, Lin Meng was already almost at the spiral staircase.

Su Yutang thought she wouldn’t mind a game of cat and mouse with Lin Meng, but it was getting late, and she no longer wanted to bother. “Are you going upstairs to find your clothes?”

At those words, Lin Meng stopped dead in her tracks.

A bad feeling crept into her heart.

Sure enough, Su Yutang’s next words confirmed her guess. “When I came downstairs earlier, I already tossed your clothes into the washing machine. They’re probably still washing right now.”

Lin Meng let go of the stair railing, as if all her strength and options had drained away. Was she really not going to be able to leave this villa today?

Seeing this, Su Yutang walked up to her and reached out to pinch her face, turning Lin Meng’s face toward her. “Am I really that terrifying in your eyes? I don’t think I’ve done anything too terrible to you, so why are you so afraid of me?”

When Lin Meng saw the smile fade from Su Yutang’s face, her legs trembled despite herself.

Why am I afraid of you?

Go look at what you did in the novel; any normal person would be scared, okay!

The panic on Lin Meng’s face didn’t diminish. She stubbornly said, “N-no, I’m not afraid at all.”

Su Yutang sneered. “Is that so? If you’re not afraid, then why is your body trembling?”

What do you know? This is the body’s self-protection mechanism! If you let go of me, I definitely wouldn’t be trembling.

Lin Meng continued to stubbornly insist, “That... must be because I’m not wearing clothes. I’m a little cold.”

Su Yutang raised an eyebrow slightly. “Is that so?”

Lin Meng nodded vigorously. “Mmhm, so... can you give me some clothes? Anything you don’t want is fine. I’ll wash them properly and return them after I get home.”

The little scheme in this little one’s heart was written plainly on her face. Since she didn’t want them anyway, why would Lin Meng wash them and bring them back?

This was pure, naked seduction.

A faint smile appeared on Su Yutang’s face. She leaned close to Lin Meng’s cheek. “Actually, I have a better idea. Aren’t you cold? It just so happens I have plenty of rooms and plenty of blankets here. Let’s go to bed first; I’ll warm you up.”

Lin Meng: “?”

Can you not understand human speech?

Lin Meng shook her head and struggled, but Su Yutang still pushed her onto the elevator. Now she was alone in a room with Su Yutang; even if she wanted to escape, she couldn’t. Su Yutang pressed the button for the fifth floor, and Lin Meng was quickly led into the fifth-floor corridor.

She wanted to struggle, but as an S-rank alpha, Su Yutang’s strength was simply too great. Her resistance was completely like a fish flopping around—other than making Su Yutang burn some calories, it was utterly useless.

As for Su Yutang, she indulged Lin Meng. She thought Lin Meng’s constant shrinking back was like a kitten scratching her ticklishly.

Lin Meng saw that Su Yutang had already opened the room door. Just like in the suburbs during the day, she instantly sat down on the floor and hugged Su Yutang’s leg. “Please, just let me go. I’m not cold anymore. I still have work to finish. My company has started layoffs; if I don’t finish my work, I’ll be fired!”

Seeing Lin Meng’s display of crying, making a fuss, and hugging her leg, Su Yutang couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She slowly bent down to look at Lin Meng, whose eyes were gradually reddening. “It’s fine. If you get fired by that little crappy company of yours, then I, Su Yutang, will support you.”

Lin Meng’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.

Excuse me? Do you think this is raising a little pet, that you can just say you’ll support someone?

While Lin Meng was shocked and speechless, Su Yutang pried her hands off, then hoisted her up and carried her into the room.

The moment Lin Meng felt her feet leave the ground, the world started spinning.

Ahhh! How could Su Yutang have so much strength? How could she just sling someone over her shoulder like that? It completely didn’t match her pretty face!

But if Su Yutang could carry her so easily, could she also carry Yun Huaizhu in the future?

Oh right, Yun Huaizhu seemed pretty tall too, but her frame was small; she was a tall, cool-toned beauty.

While Lin Meng was lost in her imagination, Su Yutang had already brought her to the bedside and then threw her onto the bed.

The bed was huge, enough to sleep five or six people, and the mattress was extremely soft. Although Lin Meng was thrown onto the bed by Su Yutang, she didn’t feel any pain at all.

The bedroom lights weren’t on, and Lin Meng was severely nearsighted. In a dark environment without her glasses, she was essentially blind. Just as she tried to get up, a blurry figure completely loomed over her.

Su Yutang propped herself up on the bed with both hands, face-to-face with her. Lin Meng had all her escape routes blocked.

Su Yutang leaned down and whispered in her ear. “I really just want to simply sleep with you. Nothing else.”

Lin Meng swore she originally didn’t want to cry, but this was too terrifying; the disobedient tears just fell from the corners of her eyes on their own.

When Su Yutang brought her here, she had said she just wanted to play with a toy. But she never said it was that kind of “toy.” What if the “sleeping” Su Yutang mentioned now also didn’t mean normal sleeping?

Su Yutang’s credibility seemed to be completely overdrawn with Lin Meng. Lin Meng looked at her and choked out, “Then... then you swear, it’s really just sleeping under the covers. Otherwise, otherwise I...”

Swear?

Su Yutang had never had anyone ask her to swear in her entire life.

Because it was too dark around them, with only a bit of light from the street lamps outside coming through the uncurtained floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Meng really couldn’t see what expression was on Su Yutang’s face.

She only heard Su Yutang’s voice suddenly turn cold. “Otherwise what? Jump out from here or bash your head in?”

Lin Meng: “!!!”

There’s really no need for that.

What else could she do? She couldn’t win in a fight, she couldn’t escape, she could only yell for help.

But if it really came down to it, she would still protect Su Yutang’s chastity to the death, because Su Yutang still needed to sleep with her own wife.

Because Lin Meng already knew Su Yutang was scum, all of Su Yutang’s terrible actions were categorized by her as scumbag behavior.

A scumbag’s nature is hard to change. She didn’t ask for Su Yutang to instantly become kind and gentle; at the very least, she hoped Su Yutang could change just a tiny bit under her influence.

Su Yutang saw Lin Meng’s eyes darting around, her panicked and helpless appearance, and chuckled. The next moment she rolled over and lay down beside Lin Meng.

Lin Meng felt the space beside her sink, then an arm draped over her body. “Mm, I promise you it’s just sleeping under the covers.”

After hearing this, Lin Meng lay there in disbelief for a long while. When she came to her senses, Su Yutang had already thoughtfully pulled the blanket over her. “Sleep. Tomorrow I’ll take you out to eat.”

After saying that, she turned on her side and hugged Lin Meng, who was pulled into her arms like a large plush doll.

Lin Meng was still stunned even now.

But then again, since Su Yutang was keeping her promise, she might as well sleep first. After all, she had been running around all day and was already exhausted.

...

The little girl looked around from her exquisite, princess-like room, still clutching the white lop-eared rabbit plush she had placed by her pillow before bed.

While pulling on the plush’s soft ears, she knocked on the door of the large bedroom. “Mommy, where’s the stray puppy I picked up from the street? Why haven’t I seen it?”

When the door opened, a strikingly beautiful woman appeared before her, with a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes exactly like the girl’s. When the woman wasn’t smiling, she appeared extremely authoritative, giving off the impression that she could fly into a rage at any moment.

But when she saw the girl, a smile immediately bloomed on her face. “Oh, it’s Tangtang. Why are you still awake so late? Do you want to sleep with Mommy?”

The girl shook her head. Standing on tiptoe in her lace socks, she gestured to the woman. “Mommy, it’s the puppy I picked up from outside last week. It was white, and I named it Xiaobai. I put it in the doghouse outside. Why is it gone today?”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of guilt passed through the woman’s eyes, but she quickly regained her gentle demeanor. “Tangtang, that puppy has a mother. It probably went to find its mother.”

The girl shook her head like a rattle, her two little braids swinging. “But Aunt Lu told me that puppy didn’t have a mother, that’s why I brought it home.”

The woman picked her up and comforted her affectionately. “Then it must not have liked you, so it ran away. Tangtang, listen to Mommy; don’t pick up random things from the roadside anymore. They’re dirty and not loyal. If you really like dogs, Mommy will pick out a beautiful West Highland terrier for you in a couple of days, okay?”

The girl seemed extremely heartbroken upon hearing this and struggled. “No! I want Xiaobai! When I fed it yesterday, it licked my hand. When others fed it, it wouldn’t eat. It only ate what I gave it! I want it, I want to find it right now!”

The girl cried and struggled out of the woman’s arms. The woman grabbed her back. “Find what? It’s just a dirty thing! How many times have I told you not to bring such things home? You don’t need to look for it. That puppy is already dead!”

“D-dead?” The girl’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, and the rabbit plush in her hand slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing tears suddenly appear on her face, the woman quickly bent down to wipe them dry. “It ran onto the road and got hit. Things that are neither smart nor clean like that, you should avoid them from now on.”

The girl didn’t know what was wrong; the tears wouldn’t stop.

How was it not smart? It knew who its owner was. It only licked its owner’s fingers; it only ate the food its owner gave it.

In the girl’s eyes, it was the best puppy!

The girl remembered the first time she found it. It was raining, and it nimbly dodged the cars around it, shivering alone under the big tree by the roadside.

It knew that “cars” and roads were dangerous. Ever since it came home, it never went near the road on its own.

But... how could it suddenly be dead?

“No! I don’t believe it. I’m going to find it right now!”

The woman held her back and shouted downstairs. “Aunt Bai, hurry and take the young miss back to her room to sleep.”

Footsteps immediately came from downstairs. “Yes, Madam.”

Hearing this, the girl struggled even harder. “Why, why won’t you let me find it? I hate you, let go... let go of me!”

...

“Young Miss, I know where that puppy is. Do you want to come with me to find it?”

“Then come with me.”

“Mmmph—”

“Worthy of being a rich family’s young miss, so delicate and tender.”

“Don’t hurt her. She’s a money tree. No matter how much ransom we demand from the Su family, they’ll obediently pay.”

“Young Miss, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! My daughter is seriously ill, so I had no choice but to do this. They promised me they wouldn’t hurt you. Please forgive me, please forgive me...”

Several different voices intertwined in Su Yutang’s mind simultaneously. She felt as if her world had turned into black-and-gray intersecting film, and she sank into that nightmare from countless years ago, unable to wake up for a long time.

...

...

“Miss Su? Miss Su, Su Yutang... what’s wrong?”

Su Yutang felt someone shaking her, and the shouting pulled her back from the nightmare.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Meng’s worried face before her. Seeing that she was awake, Lin Meng quickly withdrew her hand from shaking Su Yutang.

Su Yutang sat up from the bed while holding her somewhat aching head. She had inexplicably had a nightmare and was in a bad mood. Lin Meng could clearly sense that Su Yutang’s state upon waking was off, but she didn’t dare ask.

Although the nightmare put her in a bad mood, when she saw Lin Meng still wearing that backless dress from last night, the gloom in her heart dissipated considerably.

Lin Meng sat on the bed, head lowered, and said softly, “Because I saw you kept talking in your sleep, like you were uncomfortable, so I called you...”

Hearing this, Su Yutang extended a hand and crooked a finger at her. Lin Meng didn’t dare approach, because Su Yutang with a blank expression really looked somewhat fierce.

But the more she didn’t dare move, the uglier Su Yutang’s expression became. Lin Meng had no choice but to slowly crawl toward Su Yutang. Seeing her crawl over in such a seductive posture, Su Yutang’s displeasure nearly dissipated.

When Lin Meng sat down in front of her, Su Yutang’s hand circled around to Lin Meng’s back and gently stroked it. When Lin Meng felt Su Yutang’s hand caressing her back again, she was so scared she didn’t dare move. It was just touching her back, not whipping her.

She was already much better off than in the novel.

Lin Meng closed her eyes and comforted herself.

The next moment, she felt those hands cross her waistline and slip into the gap. Her body almost instantly shuddered as if an electric current had run through it.

Like a stress response, Lin Meng grabbed Su Yutang’s hand that wanted to go further. “I... I heard you calling out Xiaobai just now. Is... is she very important to you?”

Only after hearing this did Su Yutang let go. She lowered her head with a bitter smile, as if reminiscing. “I suppose so.”

Su Yutang had broken into a sweat from the nightmare, so she wanted to wash up first. She stood by the bed and looked at Lin Meng. “I’ll take a shower first, then take you out to eat.”

Hearing this, Lin Meng quickly wanted to refuse. “No—”

But before she could finish, Su Yutang turned and gave her a light glare. Lin Meng swallowed. “I mean... you don’t need to rush. I’ll wait for you slowly.”

Only then did the gloom on Su Yutang’s face give way to a smile. She stepped forward and, as if rewarding her, ruffled Lin Meng’s hair, which was somewhat messy from sleep. “Good girl, darling.”

After saying that, she hummed a tune and walked toward the bathroom behind the bedroom screen.

Su Yutang’s fifth-floor bedroom was even larger than the one Lin Meng had used to shower on the third floor yesterday. Opposite the bed was an exquisite embroidered screen, embroidered with a group of small animals.

On the ground ran puppies, lambs, and ducklings; hidden in the grass was a little fox; on the tree was an orange cat scratching itself and sleeping; and on the branch were two little chubby birds.

Every animal’s fur on the screen was distinct and clearly visible.

Just looking at this screen made Lin Meng feel incredibly lively, and her mood improved.

Su Yutang still had a bit of childlike innocence. In the novel she treated Yun Huaizhu badly, but perhaps because she was born a celestial being, she didn’t quite understand how to empathize with others’ hardships and difficulties.

But Lin Meng now remembered something else—the person named “Xiaobai” whom Su Yutang kept calling out to in her nightmare seemed about to make her appearance.

In all angsty, melodramatic novels, the main couple’s love story always features a fragile, pitiful little white flower—a white moonlight.

And the person Su Yutang couldn’t forget even in her dreams was her childhood white moonlight—Bai Li.

In the novel, Bai Li was initially just the daughter of the Su family’s nanny. Because the nanny often had work to do and no time to care for Bai Li, she left her in the nanny’s room to entertain herself.

Although Bai Li couldn’t run around, Su Yutang could move freely in her own home. Under these circumstances, she met Bai Li and quickly treated her as her friend.

Bai Li accompanied her through her most beautiful youthful years. In that budding season of youth, Su Yutang inevitably fell in love.

But the good times didn’t last. When Bai Li was eighteen, she was tested as an inferior omega, not even reaching B-rank. Su Yutang’s mother, Madam Su, absolutely would not allow the family’s heir to fool around with an inferior omega.

So, like the mothers in all domineering CEO literature, Madam Su threw a five-million check and a study-abroad application to a foreign university at Bai Li, ruthlessly tearing them apart.

This love that ended without a result left an indelible shadow in Su Yutang’s heart.

And now Bai Li had returned with her studies completed. She felt she still liked Su Yutang; more importantly, she wanted to be Mrs. Su. So she was very unhappy with Yun Huaizhu, who had suddenly appeared between her and Su Yutang.

By this point in the plot, Bai Li’s role was already that of a green tea female supporting character.

Even the most serious misunderstanding node between Su Yutang and Yun Huaizhu in the novel—Su Yutang drinking spiked wine and accidentally marking Yun Huaizhu—was orchestrated by that Bai Li.

No good. Just stopping Su Yutang from making mistakes wasn’t enough; she also had to stop Bai Li from causing trouble.

Besides, Bai Li just loved money and power, which wasn’t really something to criticize. And what was so great about being Mrs. Su anyway? Su Yutang had such a bad temper and always liked to use a whip to scare people.

If she were Bai Li, she would leverage her white moonlight advantage to extort a fortune from Su Yutang, then roam to the ends of the earth.

Wouldn’t it be great to have money and leisure without having to serve the young miss?

Just as Lin Meng was secretly thinking about this and couldn’t help but chuckle, a voice suddenly came from in front of her. “Darling, what funny thing are you thinking about? Share it with me.”

Lin Meng’s smile froze on her face. She quickly restored her meek expression. “N-nothing.”

Seeing her guilty expression, Su Yutang felt like teasing her. She slowly leaned in, her freshly dried hair falling forward and brushing Lin Meng’s arm. “Is that so? I feel like you’re plotting something.”

If Lin Meng didn’t live in a normal world, she would definitely think Su Yutang had unlocked a “mind-reading” superpower.

She tried hard to hide the emotions on her face. “No... I wasn’t. It’s just... where are the clothes I wore yesterday? I can’t go out to eat in this, right?”

Hearing this, Su Yutang seemed to instantly get an idea. She suddenly put on an apologetic look, covering her mouth and frowning. “Oh dear, I’m sorry. When I put your clothes in the washing machine yesterday, I forgot there was still a coat inside. There was a fountain pen in my coat, and now all the clothes are ruined. I’m afraid you can’t wear your clothes anymore.”

Lin Meng: “...”

Lin Meng was already very calm now, because when she saw Su Yutang put on that fake expression, she knew there was a second trial waiting.

Lin Meng didn’t know if Su Yutang did it on purpose or accidentally. She angrily balled up the blanket and lay face-down on it. “Then what do I do? I can’t go out in this...”

Su Yutang laughed. “So what? It’s very cute.”

Hearing this, Lin Meng buried her head directly into the blanket ball. She had already decided that no matter what, she wouldn’t go out in this outfit. Otherwise, she would have to fight Su Yutang to the death.

Seeing her puffed-up, angry look, Su Yutang felt affection rise in her heart. She leaned in head-down and said softly. “Are you really angry?”

Lin Meng said sullenly. “No.”

Who dares be angry at you, Eldest Miss Su? Do I still want my life?

Su Yutang laughed out loud this time. Her hand again uncontrollably reached for Lin Meng’s waist. Lin Meng’s figure was just right; her legs were well-proportioned and straight, and especially her thighs must feel great to touch.

The dress Lin Meng wore didn’t have much fabric to begin with, so when Su Yutang reached inside, Lin Meng immediately lifted her head and moved back.

Seeing her still shrinking back in a panic, Su Yutang pulled her forward with one hand. Her slender, strong arm tightly encircled Lin Meng. “Darling, this beautiful look of yours is only for me to see. If others saw it, I’d be jealous.”

After hearing Su Yutang’s words, Lin Meng thought for dozens of seconds. Wait... why did this sound so familiar?

This wasn’t right. Wasn’t this line supposed to be said by Su Yutang to Yun Huaizhu during their honeymoon, when Su Yutang was playing flirty games with her wife?

Lin Meng felt somewhat disheartened, because she thought Su Yutang was really a bit difficult to cure. So she was already contemplating one hundred ways to rehabilitate a scumbag top.
