After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 5

Shen Huailu found the other party increasingly interesting. She slowly picked up the red wine that had been properly decanted, gently swirled the bottle, and poured the deep red liquid into Song Zhuqiu’s glass. The wine slid down the wall of the glass with a soft rustling sound.

With a smile in her eyes, Shen Huailu teased, “Need a drink to ease up a bit?” She watched Song Zhuqiu’s subtle reaction, her smile deepening.

Song Zhuqiu felt a little embarrassed. Her gaze swept across the dining table and finally landed on an empty spot — there was no steamed white rice, her beloved staple.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Song Zhuqiu’s eyes. She really wanted some. The original owner clearly loved white rice just as much as she did, so why wasn’t there any here!

Shen Huailu keenly caught the slight twitch at the corner of the other party’s eye and politely asked, “Is there anything else you’d like to eat, Miss Song?” She had completely forgotten that she was the guest here.

Anticipation flashed in Song Zhuqiu’s eyes as she slowly said, “I want rice.”

Shen Huailu reached out and lightly pressed the service bell on the table. In a calm voice, she said, “Please bring a bowl of white rice.”

On the other end, the owner responded respectfully, “Understood, it’ll be right there.”

The owner reacted quickly and immediately instructed a waiter to deliver a bowl of white rice. He then dialed Song’s mother’s number. “Madam.”

“What is it?” Song’s mother was surprised to receive a call from Bixi Pavilion at this time. Thinking something had happened between Song Zhuqiu and Shen Huailu, she quickly called Song’s father over to listen together.

“Miss Shen just rang the bell and requested a bowl of white rice.”

Song’s mother frowned. Why was it Miss Shen who rang the bell? Today’s menu had been specially arranged according to the Shen family daughter’s preferences.

A thought suddenly struck her. Oh no, I forgot my daughter likes white rice. So Miss Shen ordered it for her?

Song Zhuqiu’s parents looked at each other in silence.

Song Zhuqiu ate the steaming hot white rice with a satisfied expression.

The two ate in quiet, with only the occasional soft clink of chopsticks against porcelain breaking the silence. It was so quiet they could hear each other’s faint breathing.

After a while, Shen Huailu finished her meal. She gently dabbed the corners of her mouth with a napkin and quietly watched Song Zhuqiu eat.

These past few days, Song Zhuqiu had been busy sorting through and absorbing the original owner’s memories, paying little attention to anything else. Only today, during the daytime, did she finally feel that she had fully integrated the original owner’s memories.

The clear sense of fusion after merging the memories made Song Zhuqiu breathe a sigh of relief. This was the first time since arriving here that she could truly relax and enjoy a meal.

Song Zhuqiu’s focus on the food was almost obsessive. She was completely immersed in the delicious flavors and didn’t notice that Shen Huailu had finished eating long ago.

Although Song Zhuqiu was eating heartily, every movement carried an unintentional elegance — probably cultivated from years of handling high-level missions.

Shen Huailu was captivated by the sight of Song Zhuqiu eating and stared at her without blinking.

Twenty minutes later, Song Zhuqiu finally put down her utensils, as if waking from a delicious dream. She looked up and was surprised to see that Shen Huailu had already finished.

When Song Zhuqiu looked up, Shen Huailu quickly concealed the shock in her eyes.

She can really eat. This whole table of food was enough for four or five Omegas, yet Song Zhuqiu had finished it all by herself.

Song Zhuqiu: “……”

I think I just heard Shen Huailu’s inner thoughts.

Shen Huailu: “……”

Why does the other party look like she can see through everything?

Only then did Song Zhuqiu remember this was her home turf. She cleared her throat.

With a serious expression, she said, “Miss Shen, I believe my parents have already spoken to your parents. I am willing. When would be a convenient time for us to get the certificate?”

Shen Huailu’s heart shook. She hadn’t expected things to move this fast. She had thought they would tangle for a while, or that the other party would state some conditions — after all, there was still that white moonlight.

Seeing Song Zhuqiu being so straightforward, she didn’t want to drag it out either.

“Shall we go get it now?”

“Sure.”

The two quickly went their separate ways, each returning home to get the necessary documents.

Song Zhuqiu recalled Shen Huailu’s car — a white Mercedes — and had an idea. She found a black one of the same model in the Song family garage. She started it and drove toward the Shen residence to pick up Shen Huailu.

Before getting in the car, Shen Huailu noticed it was the same model and raised an eyebrow slightly.

The walls of the Civil Affairs Bureau were covered with slogans urging people to marry and have children. Several newlywed couples were talking in low voices.

“Please move a little closer,” the photographer instructed.

The two simultaneously leaned toward each other, their shoulders lightly touching. The photographer sensed the subtle tension between them.

Click!

The photo was taken, and their marriage was sealed.

Song Zhuqiu didn’t feel much emotional turbulence. To her, it was just an extra certificate. She seemed to have forgotten that married wives were supposed to live together.

Shen Huailu took the red marriage booklet and breathed a sigh of relief. She finally wouldn’t have to endure her parents constantly pressuring her to marry.

This would be the fourteenth one. Recently, her mother had been relentlessly introducing her to Alphas. Without exception, none had worked out — they had just eaten a meal and didn’t click.

How miraculous. She went to an amusement park and picked up a marriage partner.

It really was fate. Shen Huailu said the words out loud.

Song Zhuqiu glanced at her and said earnestly, “Idealism will only harm you.”

Shen Huailu: “……”

No wonder she couldn’t chase her white moonlight after so many years.

Song Zhuqiu’s phone suddenly rang. “Qiūqiū! Don’t forget about the gathering tonight! Qingqing invited a few Omegas!” The call ended.

Song Zhuqiu checked the contact — it was her university roommate Yu Zhixue. Jing University’s graduation ceremony was in about ten days, and Yu Zhixue had suggested they get together.

Interestingly, all four roommates’ family homes were in the same villa district, yet they were located in the south, north, east, and west respectively, so they were actually quite far apart. Because everyone was busy, they had never held a gathering in the villa area during their four years of university.

Shen Huailu stood quietly beside Song Zhuqiu and clearly heard the voice on the other end.

After thinking for a moment, she reminded her, “Miss Song, you are now a married person. For the sake of both our families, please keep your distance from other Omegas.”

“Don’t worry.”

In the evening, a gentle breeze blew.

Following the original owner’s WeChat arrangements, Song Zhuqiu drove toward the Tang family’s resort. The vegetation on both sides of the road swayed in the wind, and cool air flowed into the car through the slightly open window.

The Tang family resort belonged to Tang Ji’s family. At the entrance, Song Zhuqiu met Tang Ji, who was dressed more casually than when conducting business — not as formal or serious.

She wore a blue-gray casual blazer, looking relaxed and at ease. Sunlight filtered through the tree leaves, casting mottled patterns on her body.

No matter how hot it was, Tang Ji could always wear a jacket. Even in the sweltering summer, there was never a trace of sweat on her skin. She later revealed it was made of special fabric that felt cool and refreshing.

After the four roommates gathered at the resort entrance, Tang Ji personally drove a sightseeing cart to lead everyone inside.

The resort was by the sea. Tall coconut trees lined one side of the road, while dense Chinese parasol trees stood on the other. The unique scenery complemented the sparkling waves of the sea.

Liu Qingqing: “Planting coconut trees in Jingdu? Must be newly planted, right?”

Tang Ji: “Mhm.”

Liu Qingqing glanced at Yu Zhixue and teased, “Going through all this trouble just to win a beauty’s smile~”

The combination of coconut trees and parasol trees looked quite strange at first glance. Tang Ji argued that it was to capture the different scenery of summer and autumn.

Yu Zhixue couldn’t help but burst into laughter, her laughter drifting away in the sea breeze.

The sightseeing cart slowly drove along the elevated water corridor and arrived at a pavilion. The plaque read “Moon-Gazing Pavilion.”

The pavilion was surrounded by large floor-to-ceiling glass panels on the sides, offering nearly panoramic sea views. The only corridor leading to it was planted with flowers and plants.

After the four entered, the dishes were promptly served. Tang Ji invited everyone to eat as the aroma of food filled the air.

At dusk, the sky seemed painted with a gradient of blue and pink, looking exceptionally beautiful.

The resort chef was highly skilled. Every dish was excellent, and Song Zhuqiu buried herself in eating.

“Qiūqiū is so quiet today?” Tang Ji asked while peeling shrimp for Yu Zhixue, her attention on Song Zhuqiu.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhuqiu stopped her chopsticks, swallowed her food, and thought for a moment. “I’ll share some explosive news after dinner.”

As soon as she spoke, Song Zhuqiu carefully observed her roommates’ facial expressions. She didn’t miss even the slightest reaction.

Tang Ji raised an eyebrow and continued peeling shrimp calmly.

Yu Zhixue was stunned for a second and looked at Song Zhuqiu suspiciously.

Liu Qingqing’s hand trembled, and the piece of beef between her chopsticks fell into her bowl with a “plop.” Her face was full of horror.

Seeing their expressions, Song Zhuqiu’s mind spun as she recalled the various “explosive news” the original owner had shared with her roommates.

No wonder Liu Qingqing looked like that. The last explosive news had been a major family scandal. Even Liu Qingqing herself hadn’t known that her older male cousin and younger male cousin had been cheating on each other.

Liu Qingqing wasn’t afraid of airing dirty laundry. She was just worried that if Song Zhuqiu said it at the dinner table and she couldn’t hold back her spit, Tang Ji’s death glare might kill her.

Last time she lost control, she unfortunately sprayed it on Tang Ji. This time she was sitting opposite Yu Zhixue. If she sprayed on Yu Zhixue, Tang Ji might secretly assassinate her beloved roommate. Tang Ji treasured Yu Zhixue too much.

Remembering that Song Zhuqiu said she would talk after dinner, Liu Qingqing suddenly relaxed and felt at ease.

Tang Ji didn’t overthink it like Liu Qingqing. She quite enjoyed listening to Song Zhuqiu’s gossip.

Yu Zhixue recalled Song Zhuqiu’s previous “explosive news” — they were usually melodramatic AO stories from the prestigious family circle. She was very curious whose family it would be this time.

Song Zhuqiu smiled lightly. She looked relaxed and at ease, completely different from her somewhat nervous demeanor when eating with Shen Huailu.

If Shen Huailu were present, she would definitely stop thinking Song Zhuqiu was an idiot.

Song Zhuqiu probably never imagined that in Shen Huailu’s eyes, she was a rich, spoiled fool.

The original owner was about 177-178 cm tall. Shen Huailu was slightly shorter but still tall for an Omega.

After carefully observing the four people’s expressions, Song Zhuqiu had a good idea of the situation and lowered her head to continue enjoying her meal.

Tang Ji and Yu Zhixue whispered to each other. After relaxing, Liu Qingqing ate heartily without restraint.

The four chatted and slowly savored the food. Time passed without them noticing.

As casual conversation neared its end, Tang Ji steered the topic: “What are everyone’s plans after graduation? You all know me — same as usual, I’ll stay at my family’s company.”

Liu Qingqing said casually, “I have an older brother above me, so I don’t have to worry about anything. He arranged a clerical position for me in the company — nine to five, four days on, three days off.”

Tang Ji and Yu Zhixue understood. For Liu Qingqing to work at all was probably the biggest concession she had made to her family.

“I’ll probably do the same as Tang Ji and join my family’s business,” Song Zhuqiu said slowly according to the original owner’s plans.

Tang Ji looked at her seriously. “If you need any help, just come to me anytime.”

Song Zhuqiu felt warmed and thanked her.

Yu Zhixue wiped the corner of her mouth and said slowly, “I signed with an entertainment company a while ago to become a gaming streamer.”

Liu Qingqing was surprised. “You’re the only child in your family. They’re really letting you work for outsiders?”

Yu Zhixue and Tang Ji exchanged a glance.

“You all know about me and A’Ji. My family is naturally against it and wants to force me back to work at the group. That wouldn’t be a big deal.

But ever since they found out about me and A’Ji, they’ve been introducing me to all kinds of Omegas. It got even worse near graduation.

So in a fit of anger, I went out to work.

By the way, I’ll also warn you two, Qiūqiū and Qingqing, so you don’t accidentally fall into the same trap.”

Yu Zhixue paused and continued:

“Just last week — you’ve all studied biology — when pheromone compatibility exceeds 50%, a special gravitational field is generated between AO pairs during sensitive periods.

My dear mother found an Omega with 55% compatibility with me. It happened to be that Omega’s heat period. My mom actually convinced her to lock the two of us in a small room together.”

“The gravity was as irresistible as Earth’s gravity. Luckily I usually work out, so I could still resist it fairly easily.

But the room was small, and the gravity was mutual. If she didn’t resist, she would fall toward me.”

Recalling this, Yu Zhixue looked a bit speechless.

She took a sip of tea and continued, “I confronted her for a long time. I kept moving along the wall to prevent her from touching me while talking to her.

She said she was too delicate as an Omega and couldn’t resist.”

From Song Zhuqiu’s own experience, it wasn’t that difficult for an Alpha to resist.

But at night, when gravity reached its peak, it was quite difficult even for Alphas to hold back.

Song Zhuqiu asked Yu Zhixue, “Were you locked in during the day or at night?”

Yu Zhixue glanced at her in surprise. “During the day. Later, when it got too late and it was mealtime, my mom had to open the door. I took the chance to escape.”

Tang Ji added, “It wasn’t that simple even in the room.”

Yu Zhixue grinned ingratiatingly, hoping to win some mercy.

Tang Ji gave her a sideways look and continued for her, “No matter how much Zhixue tried to dodge, after confronting her for several hours, she got tired.

That Omega seized several opportunities to wrap her arms around Zhixue’s neck and even left several lip marks on her collar.”

Yu Zhixue shivered.

Liu Qingqing: “!”

You actually had such good fortune. Why not give it to me instead?

Song Zhuqiu: “……”

Good thing Shen Huailu is a normal person.

Yu Zhixue carefully observed Tang Ji’s expression and said somewhat aggrievedly, “But…”

Tang Ji interrupted her sarcastically, “Playing with bondage~ I didn’t know you had this kind of hobby, Zhixue~”

“I did that because I was afraid she’d keep coming at me!!” Yu Zhixue exploded.

In the heat of the moment, Yu Zhixue had noticed several pairs of long pants in the wardrobe. She hurriedly tied them together to use as rope.

But while she was busy, she got distracted, and the other party took the chance to pounce, leaving those lip marks.

Yu Zhixue quickly used the “rope” to tie up the Omega, keeping the two of them at opposite corners of the room. They stared at each other for nearly an hour until Yu’s mother finally opened the door. To get out as quickly as possible, Yu Zhixue had deliberately stood in the corner next to the door.

Song Zhuqiu and Liu Qingqing looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.

Liu Qingqing felt regretful. She had met countless Omegas but never encountered one like this.

Song Zhuqiu secretly felt grateful that Shen Huailu wasn’t like that.

“You don’t know how strange that gravitational field is. After I tied her up and put her in the corner, I had to move too.

The moment I moved, she was pulled toward me. At first I didn’t notice. When I reached the other side and turned around, I found her silently lying at my feet.”

Yu Zhixue sighed helplessly. “I was so speechless. I had to put her back…”

Tang Ji sneered and interrupted, “Oh? You never told me about this~ How did you put her back? Princess carry?”

Yu Zhixue felt a chill in her heart and hurriedly explained, “I dragged her by the rope!”

Song Zhuqiu frowned, not understanding why Tang Ji’s tone was so sharp.

Liu Qingqing looked heartbroken. How could you treat a delicate Omega like that?

“I tried several times — stuffing her in the corner and then running away.

But because of my sudden movement, the pull on her became even stronger.

Later, guess what I did? I removed the two wardrobe doors and tied them to her body. Only then did she stop following me.”

After finishing, Yu Zhixue took a deep sip of tea and secretly glanced at Tang Ji.
