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

Shen Huailü increasingly felt that the other woman was interesting. She slowly picked up the red wine that had already breathed long enough, gently turned the bottle, and poured the deep crimson liquid into Song Zhuqiu’s glass. The red wine slid along the glass wall with a faint rustling sound.

With a smile in her eyes, Shen Huailü teased, “Do you need a drink to ease things a little?”

She watched Song Zhuqiu’s subtle reaction, the smile at the corners of her mouth deepening.

Song Zhuqiu was slightly embarrassed. Her gaze swept back and forth across the dining table before finally landing on an empty spot.

There was actually no white rice she had been longing for.

A trace of hesitation flashed through Song Zhuqiu’s eyes. She really wanted to eat rice. The original owner clearly liked white rice just as much as she did, so why was there none here?

Shen Huailü sharply caught the slight tremor at the corner of her 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.

Expectation flashed in Song Zhuqiu’s eyes. She slowly said, “I want rice.”

Shen Huailü reached out and lightly touched the service bell on the table, her voice calm. “Please bring a bowl of white rice.”

On the other end was the owner, whose tone was respectful. “All right, right away.”

The owner reacted quickly and immediately instructed a nearby server to bring over a bowl of white rice. Then he called Mother Song.

“Madam.”

“What is it?”

Mother Song received a call from Bixi Cottage at this hour and thought something had happened between Song Zhuqiu and Shen Huailü, so she quickly called Father Song over to listen too.

“Just now, Miss Shen rang the bell and requested a bowl of white rice.”

Mother Song frowned. Why had Miss Shen been the one to ring the bell? Today’s dishes had all been arranged according to the Shen family daughter’s tastes.

Then inspiration struck Mother Song.

Oh no. She had forgotten that her daughter liked white rice. So Miss Shen had ordered it for her child?

Song’s parents looked at each other.

—

Song Zhuqiu looked satisfied as she ate the steaming bowl of white rice.

The two of them ate quietly. The only sounds in the air were the occasional light clinks of chopsticks against porcelain. It was so quiet they could hear each other’s faint breathing.

Before long, Shen Huailü finished her meal. She gently pressed a napkin to the corner of her mouth and quietly watched Song Zhuqiu eat.

Over the past few days, Song Zhuqiu had been busy organizing and digesting the original owner’s memories, and she had not paid much attention to anything else.

It was only during the day today that Song Zhuqiu truly felt that she seemed to have completely absorbed and integrated the original owner’s memories.

The clarity that came after the memory fusion made Song Zhuqiu breathe a sigh of relief. This was the first time since arriving here that she could enjoy a meal with peace of mind.

Song Zhuqiu was almost obsessed with the meal, completely immersed in the delicious food, so much so that she did not notice Shen Huailü had already finished eating quite some time ago.

Although Song Zhuqiu had been eating with great effort the whole time, every movement carried an unintentional elegance. Perhaps it had been cultivated through years of contact with top-level missions.

Shen Huailü was drawn in by the way Song Zhuqiu ate and stared at her without blinking.

Twenty minutes later, Song Zhuqiu finally put down her utensils, as if waking from a dream built out of delicious food.

She looked up and only then realized Shen Huailü had finished eating long ago. She looked at her in surprise.

When Song Zhuqiu raised her head, Shen Huailü quickly concealed the shock in her eyes.

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

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

I feel like I just heard Shen Huailü’s inner thoughts.

Shen Huailü: “…”

Why does she look as if she has seen through everything?

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

With a serious expression, Song Zhuqiu said, “Miss Shen, I believe my parents have already mentioned it to your parents. I am willing. When would it be convenient for us to get the marriage certificate?”

Shen Huailü’s heart shook. She had not expected things to progress so quickly. She had originally thought the two of them would have to circle around each other for a while, or that the other woman would state some conditions first.

After all, there was still that white moonlight.

Seeing how straightforward Song Zhuqiu was, Shen Huailü did not want to delay either.

“Shall we go get it now?”

“All right.”

The two quickly split up and each went home to get the required documents.

Song Zhuqiu recalled Shen Huailü’s car—a white Mercedes. Her heart stirred, and she found a black car of the same model in the Song family garage.

She started the car and drove toward the Shen residence, preparing to pick up Shen Huailü.

Before getting into the car, Shen Huailü noticed it was the same model and raised her brows slightly.

—

Inside the Civil Affairs Bureau, slogans encouraging marriage and childbirth were posted on the walls. Several newlywed couples were talking quietly.

“Please move a little closer,” the photographer directed them.

The two leaned toward each other in sync. Their shoulders lightly touched, and the photographer noticed the subtle tension between them.

Click!

The photo was taken, and their marriage was set.

Song Zhuqiu did not feel many ripples in her heart. To her, it was nothing more than having one more certificate.

She seemed to have forgotten that married wives were supposed to live together.

Shen Huailü accepted the red booklet and breathed a sigh of relief inside. She finally no longer had to be urged by her parents to get married.

This had been the fourteenth one, right? Recently, her mother had persistently introduced Alpha after Alpha to her.

Without exception, none had worked out. They had only eaten a meal together before realizing they could not really talk.

What was strange was that she had gone to an amusement park and picked up a marriage partner.

It really was a match made by heaven.

Shen Huailü said this sentence out loud.

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

Shen Huailü: “…”

No wonder she chased her white moonlight for years and still failed.

Song Zhuqiu’s phone suddenly rang.

“Qiuqiu! Don’t forget tonight’s gathering! Qingqing invited a few Omegas!”

The call ended.

Song Zhuqiu glanced at the contact note. It was her university roommate, Yu Zhixue. Capital University would hold its graduation ceremony in about ten days, so Yu Zhixue had suggested they get together.

Speaking of which, it was quite amazing. All four roommates’ family residences were in the same villa district, yet they were located in the south, north, east, and west respectively. In reality, they were very far apart.

Some roommates were busy, and in four years of university, they had never gathered together in the villa district.

Shen Huailü stood quietly beside Song Zhuqiu, clearly hearing the voice from the other end.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Huailü still reminded Song Zhuqiu, “Miss Song is now a married person. For the sake of both families’ reputation, please keep your distance from other Omegas.”

“Don’t worry.”

—

At dusk, a gentle breeze blew.

Following the arrangements the original owner had made on WeChat, Song Zhuqiu drove toward the Tang family’s resort. The plants on both sides of the road swayed in the wind, and cool air poured through the slightly opened car window.

The Tang family’s resort was an industry belonging to Tang Ji’s family. Song Zhuqiu saw Tang Ji at the resort entrance. Unlike when she usually dressed formally and seriously for business negotiations, she was dressed much more casually today.

She wore a blue-gray casual suit jacket, relaxed and effortless. Sunlight spilled down through the treetops, casting mottled patches of light over her.

No matter how hot it was, Tang Ji could wear a jacket. Even in the sweltering summer, not a single bead of sweat could be seen on her skin.

Later, Tang Ji revealed that it was made from a special fabric that felt cool when worn.

After the roommates gathered at the entrance of the resort, Tang Ji personally drove a sightseeing cart and led everyone inside.

The resort was located by the sea. On one side of the road stood tall coconut trees, while the other side was lined with dense parasol trees. The unique scenery set off the sparkling waves by the beach.

Liu Qingqing said, “Planting coconut trees in Kyoto? They were just planted, weren’t they?”

Tang Ji replied, “Mm-hm.”

Liu Qingqing glanced at Yu Zhixue and teased, “Going through all that trouble from so far away just to make a beauty smile~”

At first glance, the combination of coconut trees and parasol trees was quite strange. Tang Ji stubbornly argued that the scenery differed between summer and autumn.

Hearing this, Yu Zhixue could not help clutching her stomach and laughing. Her laughter drifted away in the sea breeze.

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

The sides of the pavilion were surrounded by several large floor-to-ceiling glass panels, offering an almost all-around view of the sea. The only corridor leading to the pavilion was filled with flowers and plants.

After the four entered, dishes were served one after another. Tang Ji invited everyone to eat, and the air was filled with the aroma of delicious food.

At dusk, the sky seemed to be dyed with a blue-pink gradient, extremely beautiful.

The resort chef was highly skilled, and every dish earned endless praise. Song Zhuqiu lowered her head and worked hard at eating.

“Qiuqiu, why are you so quiet today?” Tang Ji asked while peeling shrimp for Yu Zhixue, keeping an eye on Song Zhuqiu.

Hearing this, Song Zhuqiu stopped her chopsticks, swallowed the food in her mouth, and thought for a moment.

“After we finish eating, I’m going to announce some explosive news.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zhuqiu carefully observed the changes in her roommates’ expressions. Not a single tiny reaction escaped her eyes.

Tang Ji raised her brows and continued peeling shrimp without showing much emotion.

Yu Zhixue froze for a moment and looked at Song Zhuqiu suspiciously.

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

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

No wonder Liu Qingqing looked like that. After all, the last piece of explosive news had been a huge scandal from her own family, and even Liu Qingqing herself had known nothing about it. Who could have imagined that her male cousin and her younger male cousin had both cheated and gotten together with each other?

It was not that Liu Qingqing felt family scandals should not be aired in public. Rather, she was thinking that if Song Zhuqiu brought it up at the table and Liu Qingqing could not hold back and spat something out, she might be killed by Tang Ji’s knife-like glare.

Last time, Liu Qingqing had lost control and unfortunately sprayed Tang Ji.

This time, she was sitting opposite Yu Zhixue. If she sprayed Yu Zhixue, Tang Ji might personally assassinate her dear diagonal-bed roommate in secret. Tang Ji treasured Yu Zhixue far too much.

Remembering that Song Zhuqiu had said she would talk after eating, Liu Qingqing suddenly relaxed a little and immediately felt at ease.

Tang Ji did not think as much as Liu Qingqing. She quite liked listening to Song Zhuqiu share gossip.

Yu Zhixue recalled Song Zhuqiu’s “explosive news.” It was usually nothing more than some messy, dramatic Alpha-Omega stories from prestigious circles. She was very curious which family it would be this time.

Song Zhuqiu smiled softly. At this moment, she was relaxed, at ease, and fully in control. Compared with her nervous performance when eating with Shen Huailü, she was practically a different person.

If Shen Huailü had been present, she would have definitely erased her impression that Song Zhuqiu was an idiot.

Song Zhuqiu probably had never imagined that in Shen Huailü’s eyes, she looked like a spoiled, foolish, rich young lady.

The original owner was about 177 to 178 centimeters tall. Shen Huailü was slightly shorter, but she was still considered tall among Omegas.

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

Tang Ji and Yu Zhixue whispered to each other. After Liu Qingqing relaxed, she ate heartily without a care.

The four of them chatted while leisurely enjoying the food, and time gradually passed without them noticing.

When the idle chat was nearly over, Tang Ji guided the topic. “What plans do you all have after graduation? You know me. Same as always. I’ll continue staying in my family’s company.”

Liu Qingqing said lightly, “I have an older brother above me, so I don’t have to worry about anything. I asked him to arrange a clerical position for me in the company. Nine to five, four days on and 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 be like Tang Ji and join the family business,” Song Zhuqiu said slowly according to the plan in her memories.

Tang Ji looked at Song Zhuqiu seriously. “Come to me anytime if you need help.”

Song Zhuqiu felt warmth in her heart and thanked her.

Yu Zhixue wiped the corner of her lips and slowly said, “I signed with an entertainment company some time ago. I’ll be a game streamer.”

Liu Qingqing was surprised. “You’re the only one in your family. They’re really willing to let you work for someone else outside?”

Yu Zhixue and Tang Ji looked at each other.

“You all know about me and Ah Ji. My family is definitely against it, and they also tried to force me back into the group to work. Originally, that wasn’t anything major.

“But ever since they found out about me and Ah Ji, they kept introducing all kinds of Omegas to me. It got even worse as graduation approached.

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

“By the way, I’ll also tell Qiuqiu and Qingqing something as a warning. Don’t accidentally fall into a trap.”

Yu Zhixue paused, then continued.

“It happened just last week. We’ve all studied biology. When pheromone compatibility exceeds half, during special periods, a special gravitational field forms between Alphas and Omegas.

“My dear mother somehow found an Omega whose compatibility with me was fifty-five percent.

“It just so happened that those few days were that Omega’s heat. My mother actually persuaded her and locked the two of us in a small room together.”

“That gravity was as irresistible as Earth’s gravity. Fortunately, I usually work out, so I could resist it relatively easily.

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

Recalling this, Yu Zhixue felt a little speechless.

She took a sip of tea and continued, “I confronted her for a long time.

“While moving along the wall to prevent her from touching me, I talked to her.

“But she said that as an Omega, she was too delicate and weak to resist.”

Based on Song Zhuqiu’s own experience, resisting it as an Alpha was not difficult.

But at night, when the gravity reached its peak, even an Alpha would have some difficulty resisting it.

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

Hearing this, Yu Zhixue glanced at Song Zhuqiu in surprise. “During the day. Later, after we’d been locked in for too long and it reached mealtime, my mom had no choice but to open the door. I took the chance to run.”

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

Yu Zhixue grinned ingratiatingly, trying to make the other woman show mercy and spare her this once.

Tang Ji glanced sideways at Yu Zhixue and continued for her. “No matter how much Zhixue hid, she still got tired after confronting her for several hours.

“That Omega seized the chance several times to wrap her arms around Zhixue’s neck and even left a few lip prints on Zhixue’s collar.”

Yu Zhixue shivered.

Liu Qingqing: “!”

You brat, you actually had such good fortune. Why not give it to me?

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

Good thing Shen Huailü is a normal person.

Yu Zhixue carefully observed Tang Ji’s expression and prepared to defend herself, sounding a little wronged. “But…”

Tang Ji interrupted her sarcastically. “And bondage play too~ I didn’t know you had that kind of hobby, Zhixue~”

“I was afraid she would keep coming closer!!” Yu Zhixue exploded.

At that time, in a moment of desperation, Yu Zhixue had noticed several pairs of long pants in the wardrobe.

In her panic, she tied several pairs of pants together and used them as a rope.

But while she was busy, she had been careless for a moment, and the other party seized the opportunity to pounce over, which was how those lip prints were left.

Yu Zhixue quickly tied up the Omega with the “rope” and made the two of them stay in opposite corners of the room.

In the end, the two of them remained in the opposite corners, staring at each other for nearly an hour before Mother Yu finally opened the door.

So she could get out immediately, Yu Zhixue had even deliberately stood in the corner beside the room door.

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

Liu Qingqing felt regretful. She had known countless Omegas, yet she had never encountered that kind of Omega herself.

Song Zhuqiu secretly rejoiced that Shen Huailü was not that kind of person.

“You all have no idea how bizarre that gravitational field was. I tied that person up and stuffed her into the corner, but I still had to leave, right?

“When I walked away, she was pulled toward me and slid over.

“At first, I didn’t notice. It wasn’t until I walked to the other side, turned around, and found that she had silently ended up lying by my feet.”

Yu Zhixue sighed helplessly and said, “I was pretty speechless, so I put her back again…”

Tang Ji sneered and interrupted Yu Zhixue. “Oh? You didn’t tell me about this part~ How did you put her back? A princess carry?”

Yu Zhixue’s heart filled with sorrow, and she quickly explained, “I dragged her back by the rope!”

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

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

“I tried several times. I stuffed her into the corner, then turned and ran.

“In the end, it seemed like because I left too suddenly, the pulling force on her became even stronger.

“Later, guess what happened? I took down both wardrobe doors and tied them to her body. Only then did I stop her from moving along with me.”

After Yu Zhixue finished speaking, she took a deep, gloomy sip of tea and secretly glanced at Tang Ji.
