After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 16

The International School’s confidential meeting rooms were fully booked today. Song Zhuqiu met with eight people in succession.

Song Zhuqiu: Why is this more tiring than going to work?

After finishing, Song Zhuqiu went out and ran straight into Lü Nianning.

Lü Nianning blocked Song Zhuqiu’s path. “Qiuqiu.”

“Miss Lü, please move aside.” Song Zhuqiu’s face was cold.

“Qiuqiu! Can you really let me go?”

“Miss Lü, I’m already married. Please conduct yourself properly.”

Song Zhuqiu went around Lü Nianning and left swiftly.

Lü Nianning remained where she was, her eyes red-rimmed. She murmured softly, “Didn’t you like me the most?”

Her gaze was slightly lost.

—

Song Zhuqiu jogged all the way to the school gate and got into the car.

“Shortly after her wedding, Song Zhuqiu cheats with her former white moonlight. Legal wife Shen Huailü catches the affair and flies into embarrassed rage.”

Shen Huailü gently read the contents on her phone.

Song Zhuqiu: “?”

The partition between the front and back seats rose.

“Qiuqiu, look at this photo. A handsome Alpha and a beautiful Omega. This photographer truly has extraordinary talent,” Shen Huailü said sarcastically.

Song Zhuqiu took Shen Huailü’s phone. “…”

These university students were far too idle.

The person who took the photo had deliberately found an angle that did not capture Song Zhuqiu pressing Lü Nianning down like she was interrogating a criminal. Only Song Zhuqiu’s back was shown, and she was extremely close to Lü Nianning, while Lü Nianning looked at her with red-rimmed eyes.

Even Song Zhuqiu felt the photo looked strange.

In other people’s eyes, this was called ambiguity.

There were also several photos of Song Zhuqiu dragging Lü Nianning from the auditorium toward the little woods.

Who knew which genius photographer had somehow managed to make the two of them look like they were eloping?

Song Zhuqiu explained, “That happened before she apologized to you. I didn’t explain it clearly enough in the woods earlier.”

She explained it to Shen Huailü again.

“Oh? How did you press her down? Demonstrate it for me.”

“I’m afraid I might accidentally hurt you.”

“How could someone as gentle as Qiuqiu do that~?”

Song Zhuqiu looked suspicious. “Then I’m doing it?”

“Mm.”

Song Zhuqiu placed her forearm horizontally across Shen Huailü’s chest.

Shen Huailü was in so much pain that physiological tears came out. She let out a muffled groan.

“You, you, you…”

Song Zhuqiu had originally wanted to ask if she was all right.

Then she met Shen Huailü’s eyes.

Shen Huailü leaned back in the seat, her eyes red, her lashes still holding several drops of tears that had yet to fall. She looked at Song Zhuqiu with an expression that seemed both wronged and coquettish.

From her neck downward, the spot pressed by Song Zhuqiu had turned red. Her hands gripped both sides of the seat as she exerted strength.

Song Zhuqiu’s breathing quickened. For the first time, she felt something strange in her gland.

Strange.

The driver suddenly braked.

Shen Huailü had her seat belt on, so under inertia, she moved forward, then was pulled back into the seat by the belt.

Song Zhuqiu was more unfortunate. In order to demonstrate the movement for Shen Huailü, she had undone her seat belt and leaned over to Shen Huailü’s side, even facing her directly.

Thud.

Song Zhuqiu fell onto the car floor.

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

Stunned.

The driver knocked on the partition and said loudly, “Miss, Young Madam, someone suddenly rushed out just now. Everything is fine now.”

Song Zhuqiu signaled for the driver to continue driving.

She looked at Shen Huailü resentfully.

Shen Huailü burst out laughing with a pfft.

“Student Song, please obey traffic regulations. Sit back in your seat and fasten your seat belt.”

What a heartless woman.

Song Zhuqiu sullenly moved back to her seat and fastened her seat belt.

“In any case, that’s how it happened. Those people really have nothing better to do. I’ll have someone handle it.” Song Zhuqiu had already finished demonstrating.

“Student Song, remember to compensate me for my damaged image.”

Song Zhuqiu: “?”

“Is Student Song trying to deny the debt? Lü Nianning is someone you provoked, after all. Also, before you got into the car just now, didn’t you meet Lü Nianning again? Someone photographed it.”

Shen Huailü spoke gently.

Song Zhuqiu understood the rules of marriage alliances between prestigious Alpha-Omega families. No matter what, it was best not to let rumors involving other people spread. She had to take the blame for the original owner’s mess.

She deeply understood the principle that even brothers should settle accounts clearly, not to mention that she and Shen Huailü were good sisters.

“All right. I’ll handle the rumors. How much do you want?”

Shen Huailü: “…”

Seeing that Shen Huailü did not answer, Song Zhuqiu pressed on. “This matter is indeed my fault. Giving you monetary compensation is reasonable. If you need anything else, tell me.”

Song Zhuqiu was afraid Shen Huailü would think she lacked responsibility.

If she had to take responsibility, she absolutely would. Not to mention, the other woman was currently her wife in name. Even if she took half of Song Zhuqiu’s property, it would not be excessive.

Shen Huailü: “…”

She rolled her eyes slightly. “The noodles Student Song made last time were quite good.”

Song Zhuqiu caught on quickly. “Then I’ll make them for you tonight?”

“Okay.” Shen Huailü smiled brightly.

Alphas were truly easy to bully.

—

“An appetizer of sour plum cherry tomatoes, sukiyaki beef, chopped chili fish head, osmanthus shrimp, Dongpo tofu, eggplant with perilla sauce, and clay pot string beans.”

Song Zhuqiu looked at the ingredients prepared at home and recited the dish names to Shen Huailü. “The weather is a little hot, so I’ll also make a pitcher of sugarcane oolong iced tea. Is that okay?”

Shen Huailü’s eyes lit up. They were all dishes she liked.

Song Zhuqiu had a large appetite and ate many dishes, so there was no fear of not finishing everything.

Shen Huailü nodded.

“I’ll help you.” She walked to Song Zhuqiu’s side.

Song Zhuqiu handed her a box of cherry tomatoes. “Take these and wash them.”

The two quietly worked like this without speaking.

After Shen Huailü finished washing them, she poked Song Zhuqiu.

Song Zhuqiu made her a small fruit platter and placed it on the bar counter.

Zhao Yiyun had told her that the Shen family’s daughter had been pampered since childhood and asked her to take care of her.

Song Zhuqiu did not mind whether Shen Huailü worked or not. It was enough that she herself could cook well.

“Sit and watch. I can do it myself.”

Hearing this, Shen Huailü put down the cherry tomatoes and sat on the high chair, eating the fruit Song Zhuqiu had cut for her in small bites.

She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

While eating, she watched Song Zhuqiu work.

—

The Shen family kitchen had many stoves. Song Zhuqiu opened six “production lines,” and before long, she finished making the meal.

Shen Huailü had not eaten much of the fruit.

Song Zhuqiu brought all the dishes out, while Shen Huailü took bowls and served the rice.

She specifically took a large bowl for Song Zhuqiu. That bowl could hold three times her own usual amount of rice.

Song Zhuqiu looked at the full bowl of rice. “!”

The taste of happiness.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Shen Huailü.

Shen Huailü’s ears turned slightly red under her gaze.

Song Zhuqiu served dishes to Shen Huailü.

She did not dare forget a single word Zhao Yiyun had taught her.

Her good sister also seemed to be eating happily.

Song Zhuqiu felt at ease and began eating in large mouthfuls.

Omegas had small appetites. No matter how slowly Shen Huailü ate, she still became full.

She put down her chopsticks and watched Song Zhuqiu the same way she had during their previous meals.

Song Zhuqiu remained focused on eating.

Only delicious food must not be betrayed. Sisters could be set aside for now.

After Song Zhuqiu finished eating—

“Student Song has good skills.”

The old butler passing by nodded. “Our Miss is truly blessed.”

Hearing this, Shen Huailü glared at Song Zhuqiu.

Song Zhuqiu: “?”

I wasn’t the one who said that.

“Want to take a walk? It’ll help digestion,” Song Zhuqiu suggested.

After eating Song Zhuqiu’s food, Shen Huailü felt indebted and could not use a rhetorical question again. “Mm.”

The two strolled through the courtyard.

The Shen family all liked flowers, especially the two women in the family. On the eastern side of the courtyard was a flowerbed.

The two walked among the flowers.

Song Zhuqiu did not know why her hands were always itching to do something.

“The flowers at home can be picked, right?” she asked Shen Huailü.

Shen Huailü said casually, “Mm, they can.”

Song Zhuqiu smiled and picked a flower beside her. “It’s planted in your family’s courtyard, so you must like it. The flower tucked behind your ear today looked very pretty. Did it fall off later? I’ll tuck another one for you.”

Shen Huailü did not know why Song Zhuqiu was so obsessed with putting flowers on her head.

She glanced at the flower in Song Zhuqiu’s hand.

Shen Huailü: “…”

Very good. As expected of Song Zhuqiu. Out of so many flowers with romantic meanings, she could still choose this one.

She felt as if in the next second, Song Zhuqiu would say to her, “May you live as long as the southern mountain.”

The flower Song Zhuqiu had picked was a kalanchoe planted by Zhou Yuyi.

Seeing that Shen Huailü did not refuse, Song Zhuqiu tucked it behind her ear just like that morning.

Shen Huailü: “…”

Forget it. It was still a good blessing.

The two wandered leisurely around the courtyard and returned to the room after less than half an hour.

Because they had attended the graduation ceremony today, neither of them had handled company matters.

After showering, they went separately to the study to work.

Song Zhuqiu only felt her gland throbbing.

She remembered that this was a warning sign of the once-a-month susceptible period.

She quickly added another inhibitor patch.

There was a fatal attraction between Alpha and Omega pheromones. Afraid of delaying Shen Huailü’s work, she added yet another patch.

The two worked peacefully.

Song Zhuqiu’s keyboard continued clacking loudly.

Unaffected by her, Shen Huailü seriously read the film and television department’s documents.

Lost Trail was this year’s major production. Zhao Yiyun had approached her that day and said Song Group also wanted to invest. With this, the Lost Trail crew would not lack money.

The film and television department’s income made up the bulk of the company’s revenue. Recently, she had also become familiar with her work and could work remotely.

She planned to personally take part in the production, going undercover to experience the work of these frontline employees.

She called Assistant Yu. “Adjust my follow-up work. I’m going to enter Lost Trail and play Wei Qingxuan.”

“President Shen, do you want to audition or be directly appointed?”

“Audition. Arrange an acting teacher for me. I’ll intensively train for the next few days.”

“All right, President Shen.” Assistant Yu was a little surprised but did not ask further.

The role Shen Huailü wanted was a fifth-billed character. There were not many scenes. Even if her acting was a little poor, it would not affect the overall result.

Even at night, the assistant’s work efficiency was very high.

“President Shen, I’ve arranged for you to meet the other party at five tomorrow afternoon. The acting teacher wants you to finish reading the script first.”

“Mm. Thank you.”

Shen Huailü flipped through the script, reading ten lines at a glance.

“Shen.”

Song Zhuqiu had finally figured out a way to address Shen Huailü.

Shen Huailü had just finished reading the script. “What is it?”

“You’re going to film a drama?”

Since she had made the call in the study, she had not intended to hide it from Song Zhuqiu.

“Mm.”

Song Zhuqiu walked around the screen and stood in front of her. “Can I go watch filming too?”

Her face was full of anticipation.

Shen Huailü looked up. “You want to watch?”

“Mm!”

Song Zhuqiu was very curious about things she had never encountered before.

“Student Song is coming to visit me on set~?” Shen Huailü smiled.

Looking at Shen Huailü’s face, Song Zhuqiu involuntarily answered, “Okay.”

“!”

This sister of hers was truly committing crimes with her beauty.

But it could not be denied that Shen Huailü relied on genuine ability.

Not to mention Song Zhuqiu had also witnessed the other woman’s figure.

“!”

Stop. How could she profane her good sister!

Song Zhuqiu smiled brightly at Shen Huailü.

“Filming is about to start. Student Song must come support me.”

Song Zhuqiu nodded like a woodpecker.

“If you don’t come, you’re a puppy,” Shen Huailü said, leaving Song Zhuqiu no path of retreat.

—

“President Shen.”

Shen Huailü met her acting teacher, an older, still-charming and beautiful Omega.

“Teacher, just call me Xiao Shen. Let’s begin now.”

The acting teacher smiled and began teaching Shen Huailü.

Assistant Yu sat nearby. When Shen Huailü took breaks, she reported work to her.

Seeing that Shen Huailü was squeezing in time for lessons, serious and talented, the acting teacher used all her skills to help Shen Huailü graduate as quickly as possible.

…

“That’s all for today. President Shen can go back and practice the emotional expression and lines I taught in class earlier. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Goodbye, Teacher.”

Assistant Yu greatly admired her boss. The lesson lasted three hours, and President Shen only rested three times. During each break, she could immediately switch back into work mode and handle urgent documents.

“What did you think of the practice just now?” Shen Huailü asked Assistant Yu.

Assistant Yu smiled a little sheepishly. “President Shen, how would I know how to judge? I just feel that you and Wei Qingxuan have very high compatibility. No wonder you chose this role.”

Shen Huailü smiled. “After I finish my scenes here, it’ll also be time to reveal my identity. Has anyone on the company forum guessed it?”

Assistant Yu shook her head. “President Shen, they all guessed Xue Wenfeng. Best Actress Xue has helped cover for you several times. Yesterday, she wore an outfit from the same collection as something you wore before, just in a different style. Now the people on the forum are even more certain.”

“Mm. If anyone discovers my true identity, delete the post immediately.”

“But President Shen, didn’t Madam Song call last time to remind you that a few prestigious families already know?”

“That doesn’t matter. Father should know what he’s doing. Now still isn’t the time to announce it.”

Shen Huailü chatted with her assistant. In truth, she herself did not know why her father wanted her to wait before announcing it.

She was a little worried. Recently, her parents left early and returned late, and they would not let her touch the family business. On top of that, they were keeping her identity as Starstone’s president hidden.

Shen Huailü was not stupid. It was not hard to think that something had gone wrong with the family business.

But she also knew that if the matter had reached the point where even she had to be kept in the dark, then it was a hole that even all of Starstone would be far from enough to fill.

She had privately asked someone to investigate, but found nothing.

She rubbed her brow.

Perhaps the Song family knew. Otherwise, Madam Song would not have called her to remind her about such trivial matters.

Madam Song had not been telling her to be careful and not let outsiders know the identity of Starstone’s president. Rather, she had wanted to tell her that the Song family stood behind her.

But based on the friendship between her parents and the Song family’s parents, that phone call should not have been made to her by Madam Song. More likely, Father Song should have called her father.

What identity did she have?

She was the Song family’s eldest daughter-in-law.

So Madam Song’s call was meant to remind her that as the Song family’s daughter-in-law, the Song family would definitely protect her.

The Song parents were truly smart. They had seen after one meal that she and Song Zhuqiu existed in name only.

Madam Song made that call to support her marriage with Song Zhuqiu. Madam Song had a very good impression of her as a daughter-in-law, and it also represented the Song family’s stance.

The education Shen Huailü had received since childhood made it impossible for her to use Song Zhuqiu.

She also did not deny that she had a good impression of Song Zhuqiu.

Song Zhuqiu’s face really suited her tastes.

That foolish Alpha still knew nothing.

Shen Huailü recalled the phone call Zhao Yiyun had made to her.

“Hello.”

“Huailü, it’s me.”

At the time, Shen Huailü had not expected Zhao Yiyun to call her.

“Mom~”

She had sweetly called Zhao Yiyun “Mom.”
