After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 7
Tang Ji explained to Shen Huailü why Song Zhuqiu had drunk so much.
The two of them supported Song Zhuqiu from either side and helped her into the car.
Tang Ji could actually carry Song Zhuqiu.
But she was afraid Yu Zhixue would make a fuss.
Together, they settled Song Zhuqiu into the passenger seat.
Shen Huailü fastened Song Zhuqiu’s seat belt for her.
After thanking Tang Ji, Shen Huailü sat in the driver’s seat and drove away, heading toward the Song residence.
Song Zhuqiu seemed to have fallen asleep. She was motionless and very quiet.
“Why does Miss Song have the scent of at least three different Omegas on her? Didn’t we agree this afternoon?” Shen Huailü was a little angry.
Song Zhuqiu had too little contract spirit.
Now that she had already boarded this pirate ship, what was done was done.
Song Zhuqiu did not reply. She was probably asleep.
—
At the entrance of the Song residence.
Shen Huailü got out of the car and first walked toward the guard room, asking the Song family servants to bring Song Zhuqiu back inside.
She opened the passenger door.
Only to see Song Zhuqiu, looking completely awake, support herself on the car door and stand up, stopping in front of Shen Huailü.
Shen Huailü said nothing and slightly raised her head to look at Song Zhuqiu.
Suddenly, Song Zhuqiu stomped the ground hard and stood at attention.
She happened to be wearing boots, so the blue brick ground rang loudly under her stomp.
“Thank you, Leader!”
Song Zhuqiu saluted Shen Huailü, her voice carrying into the Song family courtyard and forming an echo.
Shen Huailü: “…”
The Song family servants: “…”
Holding back laughter, Shen Huailü wanted to tease Song Zhuqiu. “Comrade, you’ve worked hard.”
She lightly patted Song Zhuqiu’s shoulder.
Hearing this, Song Zhuqiu stood at attention and saluted again.
“For! The people’s service~!”
Her vocal cords seemed unable to bear it. The final word even drifted off, and her voice cracked.
The Song family servants really could not hold back and burst out laughing.
Shen Huailü asked the Song family servants to help Song Zhuqiu inside to rest.
The servants only thought Shen Huailü was Song Zhuqiu’s friend. They thanked Shen Huailü, then hurriedly and clumsily helped a certain Alpha, who kept saying she was not drunk, into the house.
—
The next morning.
Shen Huailü finally caught her parents in the living room. During this period, aside from sleeping, they were never home.
“Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something.”
Shen Huailü called out to her parents after breakfast.
Father Shen and Mother Shen looked at each other.
Mother Shen hesitated before speaking. “Was Miss Song unsuitable yesterday? It’s all right. Mom can help you keep an eye on the children from other families. Our Ah Lü is very popular. Later, I’ll ask your father to bring down some information for you to look through. Since none of the ones Mom has picked for you were suitable, why don’t you choose for yourself?”
Naturally, there were more than just a dozen families who had come to propose marriage. The ones Mother Shen had previously arranged for Shen Huailü to meet were all Alphas from first- and second-tier prestigious families. Apart from their family backgrounds, their personal character was also quite good.
Mother Shen did not want her child to suffer any grievances.
But she also wanted to quickly find a suitable Alpha from a prestigious family for her daughter, at least someone who could protect her fully.
Her daughter was outstandingly capable. In the future, she would not merely be some Alpha’s virtuous wife and good mother. Perhaps she would even become a rising star in the business world.
Whichever Alpha married her would be extremely fortunate.
Shen’s parents had no intention of letting their daughter wade into the muddy waters of their own company.
Shen Huailü naturally did not know the current situation of the Shen family company. She simply thought her parents were urging her to get married.
She herself was not opposed to it either and had let her mother make arrangements.
Before Shen Huailü even had the chance to speak, Mother Shen had already gone on and on.
“Wait… wait… Mom, what I wanted to say is…”
Shen Huailü paused.
“I’m married.”
Shen’s parents: “!”
Not giving her mother a chance to speak, Shen Huailü continued, “Yesterday afternoon, I went with Song Zhuqiu to the Civil Affairs Bureau and got the marriage certificate.”
She opened her handbag, took out a small red booklet, and handed it to her parents.
Mother Shen took it and opened it. Her eyes instantly turned slightly red, and for a moment, she did not know what to say.
Father Shen looked at Shen Huailü with relief.
“We don’t want to hold a wedding for now.”
Shen Huailü naturally assumed Song Zhuqiu did not want a wedding either. Even if Song Zhuqiu did, Shen Huailü would stop her.
Father Shen gently patted his wife’s back while saying to Shen Huailü, “We trust a child of the Song family. She is a good person.”
Then his expression changed.
“But you were still far too reckless. Getting married after only meeting once?”
Shen Huailü smiled sweetly. “Isn’t she absolutely reliable because Dad and Mom introduced her? This is my trust in you.”
Mother Shen found this pleasant to hear.
Father Shen, however, still did not let Shen Huailü off and glared at her angrily.
“We had actually met once before, at the amusement park. Miss Song and I are quite fated.”
As Shen Huailü spoke, she remembered the night she and Song Zhuqiu went to the hospital for their pheromone compatibility test. A smile appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Father Shen: “…”
So meeting twice meant they could get married?
He was furious.
Mother Shen stepped on Father Shen’s foot. Father Shen looked at Mother Shen in grievance.
“Since you’re already married, let’s arrange a time for both families to have a meal together.” Mother Shen smiled brightly.
“You can arrange it,” Shen Huailü replied.
—
At the same time, inside the Song family mansion, Song’s parents and Song Liudong were surrounding Song Zhuqiu.
“Speak! Which Omega brought you back last night?” Song Liudong spun a pen in her hand and pointed it at Song Zhuqiu.
The servants had reported last night’s incident to Father Song and Mother Song early in the morning.
Before Song’s parents could further understand the situation, Song Zhuqiu came downstairs.
Being stared at by three people at once made her hair stand on end.
Song Zhuqiu told the truth. “Shen Huailü.”
The three Song family members: “!”
Mother Song muttered, “Why didn’t you spend the night outside?”
Father Song: “…”
Father Song asked the servants to pull up the surveillance footage from the entrance and play it on the giant screen in the living room, complete with surround sound.
Song Zhuqiu had not blacked out. She knew what had happened last night.
As the video played, Song Zhuqiu slowly curled into a ball.
So embarrassing!
Her toes could dig out two Song mansions.
After Mother Song and Song Liudong finished watching the surveillance footage, their laughter still had not stopped.
Father Song: “…”
He looked at Song Zhuqiu with mixed feelings.
As a father, how could he have raised such a dazed child?
The servants standing in the distance were also holding back laughter. They lowered their heads, their shoulders shaking, afraid that if they laughed out loud, they would lose this high-paying job.
Father Song was very speechless.
“You’re coming to work with me tomorrow,” Father Song said to Song Zhuqiu.
She had embarrassed herself in front of an Omega. He had to take her out to see some grand occasions.
Mother Song’s phone rang.
“Hello, in-law~!”
Mother Shen opened with a bombshell.
Mother Song: “?”
She suspiciously checked the contact note. Had the wrong person called?
“In-law~ Can you hear me?” Mother Shen asked.
Mother Song confirmed it. The call was not wrong.
What had her child done?
Mother Shen had called early in the morning to give hints.
See? The debt collector had already come knocking.
A love debt, huh.
But why should the parents pay it back?
Why was Mother Shen calling her? Young people should solve their own matters.
Song Zhuqiu had not yet told her family about the marriage.
Mother Song looked at Song Zhuqiu with dissatisfaction.
Song Zhuqiu: “?”
“I can hear you. Yuyi, go ahead,” Mother Song replied.
Father Song gestured for Mother Song to turn on speaker mode.
“Why don’t we decide when our two families should have a meal together? This is such a happy occasion!”
Song’s parents: “!?”
Had this brat really done something?
Song Liudong: Watching the show.
Mother Song hesitated before speaking. “Mm… then let’s set a time.”
“How about tonight?”
“That works!”
“Then it’s settled, all right? Century Hotel?” Mother Shen asked.
“Sounds good~”
The call ended.
Song’s parents looked at Song Zhuqiu with faces full of question marks.
“Confess and you’ll be treated leniently.”
“I’ll go upstairs and get something.”
Song Zhuqiu returned to her room.
The three members of the Song family sat quietly on the living room sofa, looking at one another.
Song Liudong: Could Sister Shen be pregnant with Big Sister’s child?
Mother Song: They only just met. How is that possible?
The two communicated with their eyes.
Father Song: “!”
Before long, Song Zhuqiu came downstairs with the marriage certificate tucked against her.
“Dad, Mom, Little Sister, I… got married.”
Song Zhuqiu confessed and handed the red booklet to her parents.
The other three: “!”
Mother Song glanced at the marriage certificate, then grabbed Song Zhuqiu by the ear.
“You didn’t do anything to that girl from the Shen family, did you? Otherwise, why would you suddenly get the certificate?”
Other people’s mothers would teach their children from a young age to protect themselves, but Song Zhuqiu’s family was different.
When Father Song was young, he had been a little tyrant in the capital. Mother Song and Father Song had been childhood sweethearts, so she had naturally seen Father Song’s fearless and unruly side. She was afraid her own children would grow up like that too. Because of this, Mother Song had taught the two Song sisters from a young age not to bully others.
So when she saw Song Zhuqiu’s marriage certificate, her first reaction was actually that her daughter had gone and ruined the Shen family’s precious girl.
Song Zhuqiu cried injustice.
“A few days ago, I ran into Shen Huailü by chance at the amusement park. Through a series of coincidences, we discovered that our pheromone compatibility was very high. Later, Mother, you arranged a date between me and Shen Huailü. We both thought the other was pretty good, so we conveniently went and got married.”
Song Zhuqiu’s explanation was full of holes.
First of all, Song’s parents did not know their daughter and the Shen family’s daughter knew each other.
Second, exactly what kind of coincidence had allowed them to discover their pheromone compatibility was high?
Next, when Mother Song introduced Shen Huailü to Song Zhuqiu, why had Song Zhuqiu not mentioned the earlier incident?
Furthermore, the route from Bixi Cottage to either the Shen family or the Song family did not pass by the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Finally, going to the Civil Affairs Bureau required household registration booklets. These two children could not possibly have carried them around with them, right?
Father Song had fought countless battles in the business world and instantly sensed the abnormalities mixed into Song Zhuqiu’s words.
But he felt it might be a little secret between young girls that was inconvenient to tell elders, so he did not take it seriously.
Mother Song, however, seemed to think of something. Her cheeks instantly flushed red, and the look she gave Song Zhuqiu carried a hint of reproach.
Song Zhuqiu: “…”
Since no one continued asking, she did not explain further either.
Song Liudong had something to say.
“Big Sister, Sister Shen must be a great beauty, right?” Song Liudong’s eyes shone brightly.
Song Zhuqiu patted her younger sister’s head. “You’ll be able to see her tonight, won’t you?”
—
That evening, at Century Hotel.
Song’s parents were inside the private room, while the two sisters waited at the door for the Shen family.
Song Zhuqiu was a little nervous. Her hands were straightened at her sides, her middle fingers pressed against her suit pants. Her chest was lifted, her back straight, and her feet opened at a sixty-degree angle.
But her toes kept gripping and releasing inside her shoes. She stared straight in the direction of the elevator, her gaze slightly unfocused. Even though she had carried out so many missions before, this was her first time handling this kind of scene.
In the past, her missions had either involved fighting and killing, or disguising herself as a business partner of the powerful and wealthy. It had been common for her eyes to hide caution.
But now!
She was about to meet her father-in-law and mother-in-law!
She could not exactly look like she was calculating how many bullets and how much time she would need to take down several heads.
Song Zhuqiu unconsciously pressed her five fingers tightly against her pants.
Ding.
The elevator doors opened, and the Shen family arrived.
Song Zhuqiu quickly walked to Father Shen’s side.
There was still some distance between the private room entrance and the elevator, but Song Zhuqiu moved like the wind.
Song Liudong: “…”
She failed to keep up and fell slightly behind.
“Dad! Mom!”
Song Zhuqiu’s mind went blank and she began speaking nonsense.
Shen’s parents: “!”
Shen Huailü: “…”
Song Liudong: “…”
This embarrassing thing is not my sister.
Father Shen composed himself and greeted the Song sisters.
“Zhuqiu has really grown into such a fine young woman!” Mother Shen praised her.
Everyone exchanged a few polite greetings.
The server opened the private room door.
Song’s parents stood up to welcome the Shen family.
“Long time no see, Yunsheng, Yuyi,” Father Song greeted them first.
“Uncle, Auntie, Little Sister Liudong,” Shen Huailü nodded toward the Song family.
Mother Song looked at Shen Huailü with sparkling eyes. “Huailü is truly a celestial beauty. Our Qiuqiu really picked up a treasure, hehe~”
The parents of both families knew each other well. Neither side had many questions. After greeting each other, they quickly became warm and friendly.
Only Song Zhuqiu and Shen Huailü were left standing without taking their seats.
Song Zhuqiu felt quite embarrassed. Her eyes darted around, looking at her own parents for a moment, then Shen’s parents the next.
Song Liudong: Watching the show.
She had no intention of helping her sister ease the awkwardness.
Shen Huailü noticed that the person beside her was distracted and poked her shoulder.
Mother Song said, “Hurry and invite your wife to sit!”
Hearing this, Shen’s parents and Father Song looked at the two of them.
Song Zhuqiu grew so awkward that she lost her sense of direction.
She moved randomly, reaching out to lightly pat Shen Huailü’s shoulder as a return greeting for Shen Huailü poking her just now.
That was how everyone in the army greeted each other.
She was also preparing to pull out a chair for Shen Huailü to sit down.
That was what Song Zhuqiu thought she was doing.
In reality, after Mother Song finished speaking, everyone was smiling and looking at the two of them, and the room fell quiet for a moment.
Suddenly, a crisp “slap” sounded in the air.
Shen Huailü: It kind of hurt.
The three Song family members: “…”
Is our family’s cabbage going to rot in the field?
Shen’s parents were instantly filled with complicated feelings.
