After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 10

Shen Huailü added another mark to Song Zhuqiu’s account.

She planned to make Song Zhuqiu repay it with interest the next time she entered her susceptible period.

After Song Zhuqiu fell asleep again, she slept even more soundly.

Shen Huailü grew angrier the more she looked at her.

If she had not been in a hurry to go to work, she would have messed with Song Zhuqiu a little.

Who said Alphas could not suffer losses at an Omega’s hands?

Shen Huailü was deeply familiar with matters between Alphas and Omegas, thanks entirely to her childhood friend. She simply had no chance to practice it, and she had not realized that she had already used it on Song Zhuqiu last time.

—

“Oh, you’re here again?” Bai Manshuang said, looking at her childhood friend.

After leaving home, Shen Huailü felt her gland heating up, so she hurriedly drove to Bai Manshuang’s hospital.

Once she reached Bai Manshuang’s office, she explained the recent situation in a few words.

“My dear Miss Shen actually got married!” Bai Manshuang said in surprise.

She looked Shen Huailü up and down with a somewhat strange expression, then reached out and felt Shen Huailü’s pulse for a while.

She even confirmed it several times.

“You actually got married and you’re still untouched!” Bai Manshuang was shocked.

“Then there’s a traceable reason for your heat period being unstable. A few days ago, you got a room with someone… mm… there was definitely cuddling, right? Now you’re even living with her, so you’ve more or less been affected by her pheromones. But it isn’t serious. If you’re willing, then let Miss Song mark you, or sleep with her once, hm? If you’re unwilling to do either, then this kind of natural physiological phenomenon will pass if you endure it a little.”

Bai Manshuang teased Shen Huailü.

“If I were you, I’d sleep with her properly for a few rounds and make myself comfortable first.”

Bai Manshuang had a secret lover, and their compatibility was one hundred percent. Shen Huailü had heard plenty of stories about them.

She and Bai Manshuang had been friends since middle school and had grown up together. There were no real secrets between them.

Shen Huailü rubbed her brow. “As long as there’s nothing wrong. I’m going to work.”

After saying that, she walked out with her high heels clicking.

Starstone Entertainment headquarters.

In the CEO’s office, Shen Huailü was confirming work with the managers of several departments.

“President Shen, the live-streaming rooms on the thirty-fifth floor have already been renovated, and the air quality tests have passed. The recently signed streamers can begin work. Among them, twenty streamers are local to Kyoto. They’ve been arranged to start work on time tomorrow. Outside of their streaming hours, their remaining work hours will be used for business training. There are a few fresh graduates with excellent talent. We plan to promote one depending on the situation and aim for first place in a niche field.”

The manager of the live-streaming department handed the materials to Shen Huailü.

Shen Huailü signaled for the next department.

“This time, our company has twelve people participating in the talent show. We have the largest number among the 101 initial contestants of Star Force,” the idol department manager said, then paused. “Shengshi didn’t send anyone this year.”

Shen Huailü glanced at the idol department manager. “How are the contestants preparing?”

“They’ve all been hurrying to rehearse these days. They’re in the large rehearsal hall on the thirty-sixth floor. President Shen can go guide them when you have time.”

Shen Huailü raised her brows. She could not dance.

The film and television department manager continued:

“President Shen, Director Wei Xian’s Lost Trail is expected to hold auditions for roles in ten days. Our company’s Xue Wenfeng has already been internally chosen as the female lead. After Wenfeng finishes acting in this film and it is released, she’ll probably be able to win her third major award.

“We are the largest investor in Lost Trail. The screenwriting team has poured all their effort into this film, and the cost is not high. It is expected to become profitable once the box office exceeds five hundred million. With Director Wei Xian, Wenfeng as the top-billed lead, and a gold-medal screenwriting team, as long as nothing goes wrong with the publicity, the film should have a guaranteed box office of two billion.

“In addition, several major IP dramas will be released one after another. The overall situation of the film and television department is good. Operating income in the first half of the year increased by eighty percent.”

Shen Huailü had already taken over this entertainment company for some time.

Starstone Entertainment was separate from the Shen family’s businesses. It had been acquired by Shen’s parents through several rounds of overseas transfers using family assets. In the official system’s list of shareholders, all the names were equity-holding proxies. Even among the prestigious families of Kyoto, no one knew that the national entertainment industry leader was the Shen family’s work.

Every family had some businesses outsiders did not know about. That was normal. For a family with deep foundations like the Song family, what others saw was probably only the tip of the iceberg.

Shen Huailü felt emotional about picking up such a golden treasure.

At noon, after Shen Huailü finished reading the materials from several departments, she wondered why her parents would not let her touch the Shen family’s business.

The Shen family had started in real estate. Even if it was not as hot as before, normal operations should still be profitable. Moreover, as far as she knew, the internal management of the Shen family’s real estate company had been refined to the extreme by her parents and the executive team.

Back when the real estate economy developed rapidly, many people with no background in the field obtained land and began building houses. Not only did layers of subcontracting create extremely thick middle margins, but company management was also disorderly. Almost all frontline employees had dinner engagements every day, claiming they needed to maintain connections with people above them to make obtaining land easier. It was complete nonsense.

Her parents had often told her these things in earlier years, but in the past two years, they had rarely mentioned them in front of her.

Ever since she was little, she had felt that entering the Shen family business, learning from her parents, and taking over from them would be an honorable thing.

She had not expected to take over the Shen family’s hidden line instead. Externally, they still claimed she worked at Shen Group. From the moment she got out of the car, she wore a mask and sunglasses, only taking them off after entering the CEO’s office.

Shen Huailü shook her head in confusion.

—

After a day of work ended, Shen Huailü got off work and returned home.

Her parents, as usual, did not come home for dinner tonight. Eldest Miss Song was not there either.

Shen Huailü ate a whole table of dishes by herself.

She recalled the few times she had eaten with Song Zhuqiu. Song Zhuqiu had always eaten with great relish. Thinking of that, Shen Huailü ate a few more vegetables.

She smiled silently.

—

In the northern suburbs of Kyoto, inside a brilliantly lit European-style building, people raised their glasses and mingled.

Song Zhuqiu: If I keep drinking, I’ll end up like that night again!

This Omega, Jiang Wu, could really drink. Even now, her expression had not changed at all.

At first, everyone had only symbolically drunk champagne. At around ten-something percent alcohol, everyone could accept it.

This banquet also carried a bit of a private nature. A small group of people opened a bottle of liquor, and after drinking too much, began wandering around the hall looking for people to drink with.

But, to be fair, this group of elites could still speak fluently even after drinking too much. They just reacted a little slowly and smiled foolishly while talking.

The original owner’s body could not withstand liquor, let alone mixed alcohol.

Once Song Zhuqiu had drunk enough, she began refusing drinks.

Although others would not force you to drink, refusing alcohol definitely required more thought, more talking, and even some actual cost.

Some people wanted to refuse but could not say much, so they simply helped the person clinking glasses with them make a small business connection or offered some resources, making the other party let them off. Everyone had some resources in their hands. Giving a little away would not cost them much and could also be a convenient favor.

The key was still that the industry remained in a growth phase. Otherwise, there would probably be a bunch of people throwing glasses.

Jiang Wu took Song Zhuqiu along to eat up this piece of gossip and chatted quietly with her.

“That young master of the Qian family is bad at drinking but loves playing around. Everyone likes waiting until he’s almost drunk, then going up to clink glasses with him.”

“Last year, I got quite a lot of things out of him.”

Jiang Wu did not come from a prestigious family. She had graduated overseas with two PhDs in financial mathematics, and because of her extremely strong abilities, she had obtained an entrance ticket to this banquet. Several prestigious-family Alphas wanted Jiang Wu to marry into their families. Who would not want the strongest support?

From high school to university, Jiang Wu’s tuition had all been sponsored by the Song family. She remembered the Song family’s kindness and planned not to leave as long as the Song family did not fall.

Song Zhi had once considered introducing Jiang Wu to Song Zhuqiu. Her character was excellent, her ability was exceptional, she was loyal to the Song family, and in appearance, she matched Song Zhuqiu well. Young people could get to know each other even if it did not work out.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhuqiu had married young. Now that things had turned out this way, it could also be considered fate.

Song Zhuqiu and Jiang Wu looked quite well-matched standing together. When they entered, they were even teased a few times.

That was before Song Zhuqiu had announced her marriage. Otherwise, Shen Huailü would have received rumors tonight that Song Zhuqiu was cheating.

“The people here today are all geniuses in the financial circle, or young masters and princesses from financial families. No one over forty is allowed to participate. Only acquaintances can bring people in, and they can’t bring people casually. No one dares enter this door without some resources in their hands.”

Jiang Wu continued introducing things. Her tone was steady. She really could drink.

“Then if I don’t want to drink, what resources can I throw out that won’t harm myself?” Song Zhuqiu humbly asked for advice.

Jiang Wu looked at Song Zhuqiu in surprise.

“Eldest Miss, you’re quite glib with your words.” Jiang Wu teased her a little. “The two people you pushed away earlier are both famously difficult to deal with at this banquet, and they’re Omegas too, yet you still talked them around one way or another. Those two like to use a bit of beauty to tempt people at the slightest opportunity. It isn’t over the line, but some people really do fall for it.”

As an Omega who diligently worked hard, Jiang Wu had never learned this skill.

Perhaps their growth environments were different. For some people, even the way they walked swayed with charm, their allure faintly showing.

Didn’t that Miss Gan just now almost rub up against Song Zhuqiu?

That person had grasped the distance especially well. She stopped right before Song Zhuqiu frowned and prepared to avoid her. Perfectly measured.

Jiang Wu did not look down on her. She was genuinely impressed, and she genuinely could not learn it.

It really was knowledge that changed fate.

After Song Zhuqiu refused several times, someone else came to clink glasses with her. The other party wore an off-shoulder gown, and her exposed skin was flushed.

So strong. For the sake of resources.

The other party saw Song Zhuqiu looking at her with something like sympathy and appreciation, so she wanted to keep trying.

Song Zhuqiu really could not drink anymore. Otherwise, the embarrassment from that night would repeat itself, and here, everyone was a stranger.

If she dared drink, she would be on the entertainment headlines of the prestigious families tomorrow.

Song Zhuqiu paid her back in kind. She revealed a bright smile to the woman, looked at her without blinking, and slowly said, “I… can’t drink anymore.”

Her tone sounded slightly aggrieved.

The woman seemed stunned by Song Zhuqiu’s contrast and did not react for quite a while.

By the time she came back to herself, Song Zhuqiu had already slipped away.

The woman laughed softly. “What a crafty Alpha.”

An Alpha nearby turned her head and saw the woman smile. As she walked sideways, her forehead hit a load-bearing column in the next second.

Perhaps someone had hit a column before, because the host had great foresight. Every column was wrapped in a layer of soft decoration.

Jiang Wu : “…”

What a tacky scene.

However, Eldest Miss was actually one step better!

Chairman Song had a successor!

Song Zhuqiu’s mouth was almost worn out from talking.

What was wrong with these people? They were all trying to fleece her, the newcomer!

Song Zhuqiu had not given out a single resource and secretly felt delighted.

“Sometimes, you can occasionally let out something unimportant. For example, act as a go-between like Young Master Qian,” Jiang Wu said frankly, glancing at Song Zhuqiu, who was already somewhat drunk. “Eldest Miss looked rather like an iron rooster just now.”

Song Zhuqiu said, “What a loyal official who dares to speak frankly!”

She was already drunk and starting to talk nonsense.

Jiang Wu: “…”

It was over. She had better contact Assistant Li.

“Eldest Miss’s wife will come pick her up later,” Assistant Li replied to Jiang Wu.

The guests gradually began to leave.

“Your Highness, this way please.”

Jiang Wu supported Song Zhuqiu.

In truth, Song Zhuqiu could walk on her own, but the other woman insisted that she was drunk.

She should not have blurted that out earlier!

Song Zhuqiu thought Jiang Wu had asked Assistant Li to pick her up.

Only when she reached the entrance did she see Shen Huailü.

Shen Huailü was dressed lightly and leaned against the passenger door of a white Mercedes, looking at Song Zhuqiu with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

Stay calm. Do not act foolish.

Shen Huailü took Song Zhuqiu over. At the tip of her nose, aside from the scent of Miss Jiang who had just supported her, there were also other Omega perfumes on Song Zhuqiu.

Do not ask how she knew they were Omegas. It was Shen Huailü’s intuition.

Shen Huailü fiercely stuffed Song Zhuqiu into the passenger seat.

Song Zhuqiu was truly conscious and had even told Shen Huailü not to help her.

Shen Huailü thought Song Zhuqiu was talking nonsense.

“Fasten your own seat belt.”

Shen Huailü stood outside the passenger door and looked down at Song Zhuqiu from above.

Three days of marriage, drunk twice.

Once, Song Zhuqiu’s friend had called her to pick her up. This time, the Song family had called and asked her to pick her up.

Both times, the scent of other Omegas had clung to her.

She really wanted to throw her out halfway.

Song Zhuqiu obediently fastened her seat belt.

Shen Huailü called a designated driver to drive Song Zhuqiu’s car.

After watching Jiang Wu , that Omega, get into a car and leave as well, Shen Huailü returned to the driver’s seat.

She knew Song Zhuqiu would not forget things after getting drunk, so she planned to take advantage of Song Zhuqiu’s current state to make an agreement.

“Song Zhuqiu.”

It was the first time Shen Huailü had called Song Zhuqiu by her full name.

Her cool voice circled inside the car.

“Mm?” Song Zhuqiu’s gaze unconsciously softened.

“Let’s set some ground rules.”

“Okay.” Song Zhuqiu was unexpectedly obedient.

Shen Huailü’s eyes focused slightly.

“During the duration of our marriage, you cannot have an improper relationship with anyone other than me. The same applies to me.”

Song Zhuqiu’s strange logic came online. “So I can have an improper relationship with you?”

Shen Huailü endured and endured, but still failed to hold back. “Our relationship is legal and proper.”

Song Zhuqiu said, “Oh.”

“Okay.”

Song Zhuqiu agreed to the first rule. It was not some humiliating treaty that sold out the country.

Song Zhuqiu blinked. “What’s the second rule?”

“We’ll keep it for now. If you need anything in the future, you can also bring it up.”

“Miss Song, twice now, you’ve come back carrying the scent of Omegas. How close did you have to be for the scent to be this strong? Miss Song, think carefully about how you’re going to compensate me.”

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

She sniffed hard.

What Omega scent? Why could she not smell it?

Song Zhuqiu, who had always been known in the army as a “police dog” for her sense of smell, had a rather useless nose at this moment.

But thinking back to the two times Shen Huailü had come to pick her up, she had indeed failed to maintain distance from other Omegas.

“Are you tired from work? I’ll give you a massage. Two times. Is that okay?” Song Zhuqiu spoke slowly, her words a little unclear.

She could not think of any other skill she had. She only had strength all over her body and understood the body’s acupoints. She guaranteed she could massage Shen Huailü, this office worker, until her whole body felt comfortable.

Hearing this, Shen Huailü raised her brows. “Okay.”

The white Mercedes slowly started.

Soothing pure music played in the car. Song Zhuqiu tilted her head and looked out at the scenery.

Shen Huailü noticed the change in Song Zhuqiu’s aura.

How could someone be so contradictory? When sober, she was foolish and dazed, yet when it came to serious matters, she was not vague at all. When something happened, she was decisive and not hesitant.

Now that she was drunk, she was like a stray puppy, curled up in the seat with her head leaning against the window, looking listless.

How had the Song family raised an Alpha with this kind of temperament?

The car stopped at a red light.

Suddenly, Song Zhuqiu turned her head and looked at Shen Huailü, her expression serious.

Shen Huailü was drawn in by her dark eyes.

Song Zhuqiu said solemnly, “My wife.”

Her tone rose and fell clearly, every word pronounced with perfect articulation.

Shen Huailü: “…”

She really should not have expected anything from a drunk.
