After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 6
Yu Zhixue turned to Song Zhuqiu, her brows tightly furrowed. “What did you mean when you asked me ‘daytime or nighttime’ just now? Qiuqiu, you didn’t run into that kind of Omega too, did you!?”
Tang Ji: “!”
Liu Qingqing: “!”
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
“Mm… not quite like your situation. Mine was still relatively controllable.” Song Zhuqiu shook her head.
Seeing that Song Zhuqiu was unwilling to talk about it in detail, the others did not press further.
Yu Zhixue returned to the original topic. “The company I signed with is in the building next to Qiuqiu’s family company. Qiuqiu, when you’re free, you can come find me for lunch.”
Song Zhuqiu smiled and nodded.
Liu Qingqing looked at Tang Ji, her eyes shining. “Can the Omegas I invited come in now?”
Tang Ji observed the situation and saw that everyone had pretty much finished eating, so she nodded.
Liu Qingqing was overjoyed. While quickly sending a message, she said to Song Zhuqiu, “Qiuqiu! Your buddy called over a few Omegas for you. Tang Ji and Zhixue don’t need them, so we can chat with the Omegas!”
As she spoke, she rubbed her hands together, her eyes full of anticipation.
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
She still remembered that Shen Huailü had reminded her to stay away from Omegas.
Just before the Omegas entered the room, Song Zhuqiu suddenly said, “I’m married.”
It was like thunder exploding out of nowhere.
Tang Ji: “!”
Yu Zhixue: “!”
Liu Qingqing: “!”
The three of them widened their eyes in disbelief at the same time and looked up at Song Zhuqiu in perfect sync.
Yu Zhixue’s gaze gradually turned fierce, her tone filled with disbelief and reproach. “You actually chased down Lü Nianning without making a sound! And you didn’t even tell us after getting married!”
A thought quickly flashed through Yu Zhixue’s mind. Hadn’t Song Zhuqiu just said she had run into a highly compatible Omega? Could it be Second Miss Lü?
But after so many years, Song Zhuqiu only discovered it now? Yu Zhixue scratched her head.
Lü Nianning was the white moonlight the original owner had chased for several years. The memories related to that white moonlight were rather blurry. Song Zhuqiu could only vaguely remember that it had happened in high school.
Liu Qingqing followed Yu Zhixue’s words. “Hey! Maybe she just finally won her over and immediately got married. Once graduation season arrives, a batch of Omegas start getting pressured into marriage. Qiuqiu must have felt sorry for her Omega, so she rushed to get married.”
Song Zhuqiu smiled at Liu Qingqing and said, “What I mean is, all the Omegas coming in later are for Qingqing.”
Liu Qingqing: “…”
Heaven knew that for Song Zhuqiu’s sake, she had called over six extra Omegas.
Night fell, dark and thick as ink as it dyed the sky. The huge glass windows reflected the figures of the four people chatting, like a quiet painting.
The Omegas Liu Qingqing had called arrived. Ten of them came in, all surrounding Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing looked as though she had been buried inside the Cave of Silken Webs.
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
This really was exaggerated.
Tang Ji and Yu Zhixue were already used to it. They picked up the tablet on the table, chose songs, and began to sing.
Song Zhuqiu had not had time to say who her marriage partner was before the other Omegas flooded in and interrupted her.
Although Tang Ji usually did not like meddling in other people’s business, a close friend’s marriage was indeed a major matter. During a break between songs, she found an opportunity to talk to Song Zhuqiu.
Tang Ji leaned close to Song Zhuqiu and asked quietly, “Did you really get Lü Nianning?”
Her intuition told her it was not Lü Nianning, which was why she asked.
“Shen Huailü, the only daughter of the Shen family.”
Afraid Tang Ji would not hear her, Song Zhuqiu spoke loudly.
Tang Ji: “!”
Yu Zhixue: “!”
Liu Qingqing: “!”
Liu Qingqing almost screamed. “The number one Omega in Kyoto!!! Oh my god, Song Zhuqiu, are you dreaming?”
As she spoke, she casually accepted the glass of wine handed to her by an Omega on her left and drank it in one gulp.
Even Tang Ji, who had seen many things, found it hard to believe. There was no other reason—the two of them had basically no connection at all.
Moreover, in Tang Ji’s view, this Miss Shen might not necessarily take a fancy to her friend. Could this be another forced marriage arranged by their parents?
The Shen family’s business situation was terrible. They might need to apply for bankruptcy liquidation.
Almost no one in their circle knew about this. The Shen family had hidden it extremely well. Even the Song family might not necessarily know how deep the Shen family’s waters were.
Tang Ji only knew because someone in her family was part of the upper-level decision-making circle.
Tang Ji’s eyes darkened as she considered the possibility of the Song-Shen marriage dragging down the Song family. Worry for Song Zhuqiu grew stronger in her heart.
“When is the wedding?” Tang Ji remembered that she had heard absolutely nothing about these two, so she guessed it had probably happened in the past two days.
Song Zhuqiu knew Tang Ji was well-informed and good at reading expressions. In addition, the original owner had been very close with these roommates, so she did not hide it.
Song Zhuqiu said frankly, “We got the marriage certificate six hours ago.”
Tang Ji fell silent.
Yu Zhixue quickly slid over to Tang Ji’s side and linked arms with her.
Yu Zhixue smiled and teased, “Qiuqiu, a flash marriage! The great beauty Shen has so many pursuers they could circle Kyoto once. You’ll have to be careful not to get hit with a sack when you go out. When are you bringing Sister-in-law out to eat with us?”
Song Zhuqiu smiled and replied, “I’ll have to ask Shen Huailü first.”
“How enviable~” Yu Zhixue said meaningfully, burying her head against Tang Ji’s chest and rubbing against her.
Tang Ji lowered her head and looked at Yu Zhixue’s dark chestnut hair, then reached out and pinched her cheek.
“Qiuqiu got there first,” Tang Ji said with a smile.
Yu Zhixue poked Tang Ji’s shoulder, stood up, then reached past Tang Ji and pulled Song Zhuqiu over. She handed Song Zhuqiu a microphone and made her sing along too.
Rarely leaving the “flower thicket” piled around her, Liu Qingqing gently squeezed Tang Ji aside and sat next to Song Zhuqiu, pouring her a full glass of liquor.
Song Zhuqiu herself could hold her liquor quite well, but the original owner could not. However, the original owner had also gotten drunk in front of her roommates before.
Song Zhuqiu looked at Tang Ji. “If I get drunk, please let me sleep here.”
She did not want Father Song and Mother Song to worry.
Tang Ji responded, but did not take it seriously in her heart. How could someone with a wife stay out all night?
She did not know the two had a contract marriage. She only knew that children of prestigious families would keep up appearances for each other even in a political marriage.
The four of them began singing and drinking, and the atmosphere was cheerful.
Tang Ji was the only one with a relatively good alcohol tolerance. She rubbed her brow, feeling some pressure in her heart—later, she would have to safely send everyone away.
Although Liu Qingqing played around a lot, she still obediently went home or back to the dorm to sleep every day. She looked like a veteran in love, but in reality, she did not even know how to mark an Omega.
Yu Zhixue was safe with Tang Ji, but Song Zhuqiu had to be delivered into her wife’s hands.
Thinking of this, Tang Ji sent a message to her assistant, asking her to find Shen Huailü’s contact information.
“Brothers, give me a hug! Tell me what’s in your heart!…”
No one knew how Liu Qingqing played around outside, but she only knew how to sing this kind of song.
Song Zhuqiu had been plied with alcohol by the two of them until she was hazy, but she still tried her best to sing along with Liu Qingqing.
After Liu Qingqing drank until she no longer recognized any of her relatives, the Omegas began to scatter and move toward the others.
Yu Zhixue was the closest and was the first to have several Omegas rub up against her.
Tang Ji frowned, quickly walked over, and fished Yu Zhixue out of the Omegas’ hands, bringing her back to her side.
All the Omegas around Tang Ji and Yu Zhixue were driven away by Tang Ji. Yu Zhixue grabbed Tang Ji’s ear and cursed beside it.
Song Zhuqiu was heavily drunk. The alcohol had numbed her, making her thoughts sluggish and her consciousness blurry. She had already forgotten Shen Huailü’s reminder from the afternoon.
The Omegas driven away by Tang Ji quickly gathered around Song Zhuqiu, surrounding her in a cluster of charming voices and pretty faces.
Tang Ji’s eyelid twitched as she watched. She was afraid Song Zhuqiu would be scolded after returning home just like she had been, so she spoke up and stopped the Omegas gathered around Song Zhuqiu.
In the end, all the Omegas returned to Liu Qingqing’s side. One Omega sat on each of Liu Qingqing’s thighs, and a crowd surrounded her.
From Tang Ji’s point of view, Liu Qingqing looked as though she had been buried in the crowd.
Song Zhuqiu grew more and more drunk. Although her consciousness was blurry, she still worked hard to hum along with the accompaniment, her voice becoming increasingly out of tune.
Tang Ji checked the time and quickly called Shen Huailü and the Liu family driver.
The Liu family driver had already been waiting outside the resort, so he arrived quickly. Tang Ji watched Liu Qingqing safely get into the car, then returned to the room.
Song Zhuqiu and Yu Zhixue had their arms around each other’s shoulders as they sang. From time to time, they raised their glasses. When the music reached a part without lyrics, the two looked at each other and smiled, clinked glasses, and drank large mouthfuls of alcohol.
Tang Ji looked at them, smiled, and sighed helplessly.
Every time there was a gathering, it seemed she always had to play the role of “temporary parent.”
—
Shen Huailü was somewhat confused when she received Tang Ji’s call. She knew Tang Ji, but she did not know that the other woman was so close to her newlywed wife.
Shen Huailü was also curious. Had Song Zhuqiu asked Tang Ji to call her?
The two of them were already married, so it was only reasonable for her to pick her up.
Shen Huailü drove unhurriedly toward the Shen family resort.
—
Tang Ji was very helpless. Song Zhuqiu and Yu Zhixue were completely caught up in singing. They only turned on accompaniment mode and howled like ghosts and wolves.
The two of them really could not be considered pleasant singers. Yu Zhixue sang off-key, and Song Zhuqiu… well, it was hard to describe.
“Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone…”[1]
Song Zhuqiu’s voice was loud and clear, her American English perfectly standard, completely drowning out Yu Zhixue’s voice.
Just as Song Zhuqiu was singing enthusiastically, Shen Huailü knocked on the door and walked in.
Shen Huailü, who heard Song Zhuqiu singing: “…”
Tang Ji, who had already been tortured for a long time: “…”
Shen Huailü’s silence was deafening.
Song Zhuqiu’s singing style was truly unique. She had somehow managed to sing Love Story with the feeling of Battle Hymn of the Strong Army.
Song Zhuqiu noticed Shen Huailü’s arrival and grinned at her.
“Listen! This is Love Story!”
Shen Huailü was expressionless.
Tang Ji: “…”
Tang Ji smiled. “This song should be renamed Romeo and Kublai Khan from now on.”
Shen Huailü: “…”
