After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 27
The two of them played up and down, enjoying themselves immensely. Lin You acted as the bus driver, even making bus beeping sounds with her mouth. “Beep. We’re about to depart. Passenger, please sit tight.”
Fu Xinran hugged her neck tightly and said nothing. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, and even her dangling toes curled together in excitement and nervousness.
Lin You took one big step onto the bed. “We’re setting off!” Lin You shouted, her brows practically flying. With one foot on the floor, she exerted force and stepped onto the bed, instantly creating a height difference.
Especially since Lin You was tall. Standing on the bed, she could touch the ceiling just by raising her hand, so playing like this was especially satisfying.
Fu Xinran was held in Lin You’s arms in a princess carry. One moment, Lin You jumped up from below the bed; the next, she jumped down from the bed. The two of them were like mischievous seven- or eight-year-old children.
Fu Xinran laughed especially happily. She thought it was so fun. No one had ever played with her like this before. Fu Xinran’s hair tie fell off, and her black, beautiful hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
Lin You’s jumping movement stirred her dark hair. Lin You’s body stopped, and she only lowered her head, entranced as she looked at the person lying in her arms. The soreness in her arms became insignificant under such beauty.
The two of them kept repeating that childish game in the enormous room, all the way until the muscles in Lin You’s arms stiffened.
“Why aren’t you moving?” Lin You maintained the posture of climbing onto the bed, her brows lifting awkwardly. Fu Xinran raised the arm wrapped around her neck and lightly tapped the tip of her nose.
“Uh, my arms seem like they can’t move anymore.” Lin You blinked innocently and looked at Fu Xinran.
“What do you mean they can’t move? Don’t move. Stand steady. Let me see.” Fu Xinran pressed Lin You’s shoulder. Lin You happened to still be holding the posture of climbing onto the bed.
Lin You’s left leg was planted on the bed, and Fu Xinran was half-sitting in her arms. Fu Xinran carefully climbed down from Lin You’s embrace.
Lin You’s arms remained in the posture of holding her. Only after the weight in her hands disappeared did Lin You feel the soreness and weakness.
(It’s like when you hold your phone to make a call for half an hour, and afterward your arm basically can’t straighten. Lin You was basically like that.)
Zhuo An stood with her hands tucked into her sleeves, speechlessly watching Lin You smile like a fool. Fu Xinran’s ears were red as she endured the gazes of the old butler and Doctor Zhuo while applying a warm compress to Lin You.
She swept the long hair beside her ear aside and carefully warmed the bend of Lin You’s arm. Her muscles had been kept tense for too long, causing the nerves to spasm.
Thinking of Doctor Zhuo’s suspicious look earlier, Fu Xinran glared at the person who was still smiling foolishly.
A faint tea fragrance lingered at the tip of Fu Xinran’s nose. She held her forehead. Lin You’s nesting period still had another day before it ended.
Although she had been given a suppressant, her pheromones would still uncontrollably leak out, declaring her dominance in front of outsiders. The blocking patch from before should also be changed.
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Zhuo An was unwilling to stay here and eat more dog food. With her hands tucked away, she swayed after the old butler and left the two women’s bedroom.
Lin You tilted her head and raised her two long arms that could not bend. With difficulty, she circled Fu Xinran into her arms, narrowing her eyes blissfully. “Ranran, the back of my neck is so hot. Touch it for me.”
Fu Xinran glared at her. “You’re not allowed to act like a hooligan.”
Lin You looked at her blankly. How was this acting like a hooligan?
Fu Xinran clearly also remembered that Lin You’s intelligence had not fully returned yet. A blush slowly spread across her cheeks. She reached out and pulled aside Lin You’s collar, looking at the slightly reddened pheromone gland.
Inviting an Omega to look at one’s pheromone gland was no different from asking for intimacy.
Cool fingers landed on the gland.
“Ah.” Lin You comfortably lifted her neck. It was cool and felt so nice. Hearing Lin You’s comfortable sigh, Fu Xinran’s fingertips heated up, and she quickly removed the expired blocking patch.
Lin You closed her eyes and felt those soft, cool fingers on her back lightly brush over her skin. The scorching pheromone gland happily released even more pheromones to seek the Omega.
Within the bitter yet sweet tea fragrance, once decoded, it was full of: So comfy, so comfy. Touch more, touch more. It was like a huge wolfdog asking online to be petted.
Phew. Fortunately, the suppressant was working. Now, in the nesting period, Lin You’s pheromones would be extremely vigorous, wanting to occupy every corner of its territory and not let her partner have even the slightest chance of smelling another Alpha’s pheromones.
In serious cases, it could trigger an Alpha’s agitation and anxiety, causing irreversible consequences.
Fu Xinran rather liked Lin You like this now. She extended her index finger and scratched Lin You’s chin. Her body leaned forward slightly, and she gave her a light, dragonfly-touching-water peck. Lin You felt the brief softness on her chin.
Her watery, bright eyes opened wide as she watched Fu Xinran turn and leave. That swaying, beautiful figure made her release even more pheromones, rushing toward Fu Xinran.
Fu Xinran, who had just applied the blocking patch, felt her legs go soft. The entire room’s tea fragrance was repeating the same thing: Want kisses, want kisses.
Fu Xinran’s face was flushed, her body soft. Covering her heating pheromone gland, she glared at Lin You charmingly. “Behave. I’m going out for a bit. Stay here by yourself. Don’t move.”
The moment Lin You heard that Fu Xinran was leaving, she immediately stood up pitifully, wanting to follow, but Fu Xinran’s words fixed her in place.
Lin You could only watch helplessly as Fu Xinran opened the door and left. Before leaving, Fu Xinran also turned on the air filtration switch that someone had secretly turned off at some point.
Smelling her own scent gradually thin out as the filter started running, Lin You bit her lip and glared unwillingly at the filter switch, hoping it would be self-aware.
Lin You glared until the corners of her eyes turned red, but still failed to make the filter consciously turn itself off. Lin You felt so angry. She angrily blew a breath at the filter switch, but all she did was blow up her own limp bangs.
Seeing that she could not blow the filter away, Lin You’s eyes reddened with grievance.
The moment Fu Xinran pushed the door open, she decoded Lin You’s pheromones: So wronged. So wronged. Why won’t it turn off!
Looking at Lin You sitting obediently on the bed, Fu Xinran was astonished for a moment. She was this obedient? Fu Xinran felt a little puzzled. Were Alphas in nesting period this obedient?
Fu Xinran leisurely raised her hand and placed it on the filter switch. Lin You instantly straightened in surprise, staring expectantly at her hand. The tea fragrance, strong enough to be a little pungent, was all screaming: Turn it off! Turn it off!
Fu Xinran stood elegantly by the wall, like a snow lotus blooming with its most beautiful radiance. Cold, distant, and beautiful—beautiful was no longer enough to describe her. Yet she also carried a trace of mischievousness after falling into the mortal world.
Lin You looked at her pitifully, pouting as the tip of her nose twitched, looking as if she would cry if Fu Xinran did not turn it off.
Bzzz… bzzz…
The phone vibration shifted both of their gazes over.
Pa.
The filter switch was pressed down. Lin You happily sat back on the bed. Fu Xinran adjusted her mood.
The number on the phone belonged to Fu Xinyan. Fu Xinran raised her index finger to her lips, and Lin You immediately covered her mouth, staring with wide eyes as Fu Xinran answered the call and then left the room.
“Sister, how do you have time to call me?” Fu Xinran asked softly. She had always liked acting spoiled in front of her sister. Fu Xinyan had been an iceblock face since childhood.
“Did the old man make things difficult for you?” Fu Xinyan’s icy voice softened slightly as she accepted a document handed over by her subordinate and spoke at the same time.
“No, Dad only scared her a little. Lin You is quite good. Don’t be like this. She’s very obedient now.”
“Heh. Fine. If you say she’s obedient, then she’s obedient.” Fu Xinyan gave a light laugh, containing no mockery, only disdain.
“Tell your obedient Lin You to pay attention to policy changes recently. Don’t let anyone lead her into a ditch. All right, I still have a meeting, so I won’t talk to you anymore.” Fu Xinyan sounded as if she had only casually called her younger sister to chat, and after finishing, she hung up.
Fu Xinran knew her sister never said useless things. It seemed there would be major policy changes in the country soon. She turned around, intending to go back and tell Lin You. But the moment she opened the door—
A wave of pheromones, bitter enough to feel stuffy, directly drowned her.
Fu Xinran held onto the door handle. A gust of wind rushed over. By the time she came back to herself, she had already been pressed into Lin You’s arms. Lin You sniffed all over Fu Xinran, wanting to find the scent of the wild dog outside.
Fu Xinran was tickled all over by her sniffing. She laughed until her body trembled like flowers in the wind, mist gathering at the corners of her eyes. Her long black hair spread over the bed. “Hahaha… Enough… enough. I only went to answer Sister’s call. Stop messing around.”
Lin You stopped sniffing. Her bright, spirited eyes were full of accusation, both eyes asking: Really?
“It’s true. Sister said there may be policy changes in the country recently, and the group’s internal situation seems a little restless.” Fu Xinran withdrew her smile and told Lin You.
“You need to pay attention to what Sister says. If someone leads you into a ditch, the baby’s milk powder money will be gone. Don’t you think so?”
Wars in the business world were bloodless, but the loser would certainly suffer serious damage.
Lin You tilted her head. Her brain worked hard to spin, but her head was a complete mess. She really could not think of anything.
Like a person acting shamelessly, she collapsed onto the bed and muttered, “Ranran, I’m so tired. I want to sleep.”
Fu Xinran looked around the messy room and thought to herself, How could you not be tired? You almost tore apart the bedroom. She closed her eyes and slowly guided Lin You with her own pheromones.
That clear, gentle aura wrapped around the pheromone gland that was continuously overflowing with tea fragrance. It was cool and fragrant. Lin You closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep under Fu Xinran’s pheromone guidance.
Fu Xinran looked at the person sleeping sprawled on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief. Exhausted, she rubbed her brow. She had been tired long ago, but Lin You had not been able to quiet down, and she also could not bear to let go of Lin You when she was acting spoiled.
In the system space, the system widened its two big electronic eyes and watched Fu Xinran’s gentle movements.
Ah, this was love.
It needed to go take a look at how many more missions could be accepted at once now.
When Lin You got through the bonding heat, the shop would be able to open. Then it would have Lin You buy it a new skin. It had wanted to change into a new skin from the shop a long time ago. Wu wu, it could finally switch out of this crude primitive form.
After Fu Xinran waited until Lin You was completely asleep, she quietly closed the door and left.
“Doctor Zhuo, Lin You has already agreed to let you give me her medical records. Did you receive the message?”
Fu Xinran, who had tidied her makeup, had changed into a long white dress and draped a plain gauze scarf over her shoulders. Her waterfall-like long hair scattered over her shoulders, her skin fairer than snow. She was light, elegant, and like a snow lotus on Tianshan.
Zhuo An withdrew her amazed gaze. Fortunately, she was a Beta. Otherwise, if President Lin—who loved getting jealous and keeping little accounts—found out, hiss, just thinking about it made her back go numb.
“Mm?” Those dark eyes looked deeply at Zhuo An.
Zhuo An raised both hands. “I’ll give them to you right away. Madam, please sit for a while.” After saying this, Zhuo An immediately ran off.
