After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 7

Tang Ji explained to Shen Huailu why Song Zhuqiu had drunk so much.

The two of them supported Song Zhuqiu, one on each side, and helped her into the car.

Tang Ji could easily carry Song Zhuqiu if needed, but she was worried Yu Zhixue would make a fuss.

They placed Song Zhuqiu in the front passenger seat.

Shen Huailu fastened the seatbelt for her.

After thanking Tang Ji, Shen Huailu got into the driver’s seat and drove off toward the Song family residence.

Song Zhuqiu seemed to have fallen asleep. She remained completely still and very quiet.

“Why does Miss Song smell like at least three different Omegas? Didn’t we agree on this in the afternoon?” Shen Huailu was a little angry.

Song Zhuqiu really had no sense of contractual responsibility.

Now that she had already boarded this pirate ship, the deal was done.

Song Zhuqiu didn’t respond — she was probably asleep.

At the Song family entrance.

Shen Huailu got out of the car first and walked to the guard room. She asked the Song family servants to take Song Zhuqiu inside.

She opened the passenger door.

To her surprise, Song Zhuqiu was wide awake. She held onto the door and stood up, facing Shen Huailu directly.

Shen Huailu didn’t speak and simply looked up at her slightly.

Suddenly, Song Zhuqiu stamped her feet hard on the ground in a formal attention stance.

She happened to be wearing boots, so the sound echoed loudly on the blue bricks.

“Thank you, Leader!” Song Zhuqiu saluted Shen Huailu. Her voice echoed into the Song family courtyard.

Shen Huailu: “……” Song family servant: “……”

Holding back her laughter, Shen Huailu decided to tease her. “Comrade, you’ve worked hard.” She gently patted Song Zhuqiu’s shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhuqiu immediately stood at attention again and saluted. “Serve! The people~!”

Her voice cracked on the word “people,” breaking off awkwardly.

The Song family servant couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.

Shen Huailu asked the servant to help Song Zhuqiu inside to rest.

The servant, assuming Shen Huailu was just Song Zhuqiu’s friend, thanked her and then hurriedly helped the Alpha—who kept insisting she wasn’t drunk—into the house.

The next morning.

Shen Huailu finally caught her parents in the living room. They had been out of the house except for sleeping these past few days.

“Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you.” Shen Huailu called out to her parents after they finished breakfast.

Shen’s father and mother exchanged a glance.

Shen’s mother hesitated before speaking, “Was Miss Song from yesterday not suitable? It’s okay. Mom can look for other families’ children for you. Our A’Lu is very popular. Later, I’ll have your father bring down some profiles for you to look at. Since none of the ones Mom arranged worked out, you might as well choose for yourself.”

There were naturally far more than a dozen families who had come proposing marriage. The ones Shen’s mother had arranged for Shen Huailu to meet were all Alphas from first- and second-tier prestigious families. Aside from their family backgrounds, their personal characters were also commendable.

Shen’s mother didn’t want her child to suffer.

But she also wanted to find a suitable Alpha from a good family for her daughter as soon as possible — at least someone who could protect her.

Their daughter was exceptionally capable. In the future, she wouldn’t just be a good wife and mother to an Alpha. She might even become a rising star in business. Any Alpha who married her would be extremely lucky.

Shen’s parents had no intention of letting their daughter get involved in the messy situation of their own company.

Shen Huailu naturally had no idea about her family’s current business troubles and simply thought her parents were pressuring her to marry. She wasn’t against it and had let her mother arrange everything.

Before Shen Huailu could speak, her mother had already started talking non-stop.

“Wait… wait… Mom, what I wanted to say is—” Shen Huailu paused. “I got married.”

Shen’s parents: “!”

Without giving her mother a chance to speak, Shen Huailu continued, “I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Song Zhuqiu yesterday afternoon and got the certificate.” She opened her handbag, took out a small red booklet, and handed it to her parents.

Shen’s mother took it, opened it, and her eyes immediately turned red. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Shen’s father looked at Shen Huailu with relief.

“We don’t plan to hold a wedding for now.” Shen Huailu naturally assumed Song Zhuqiu didn’t want one either. Even if she did, Shen Huailu would stop her.

Shen’s father gently patted his wife’s back and said to Shen Huailu, “We’re at ease with the Song family child. She’s a good person.”

Then his expression changed. “But you were too reckless — getting married after just one meeting.”

Shen Huailu smiled sweetly. “It’s because you and Mom introduced someone absolutely reliable. This is my trust in you.”

Shen’s mother looked pleased.

Shen’s father still hadn’t let it go. He glared with puffed-up cheeks.

“We actually met once before, at the amusement park. Miss Song and I have quite a connection,” Shen Huailu said, a smile appearing in her eyes as she recalled the night they went to the hospital for the pheromone compatibility test.

Shen’s father: “……”

So two meetings were enough to get married, huh?

He was fuming.

Shen’s mother stepped on her husband’s foot. Shen’s father looked at her pitifully.

“Since you’re already married, let’s arrange a time for both families to have a meal together,” Shen’s mother said, beaming with joy.

“You can arrange it,” Shen Huailu replied.

At the same time, in the Song family mansion.

Song’s parents and Song Liudong surrounded Song Zhuqiu.

“Speak! Which Omega sent you home last night!” Song Liudong spun a pen in her hand and pointed it at Song Zhuqiu.

The servant had reported what happened last night to Song’s parents early that morning.

Before Song’s parents could ask for more details, Song Zhuqiu had come downstairs.

Being stared at by three people at once made her hair stand on end.

Song Zhuqiu told the truth. “Shen Huailu.”

The three Song family members: “!”

Song’s mother muttered, “Why didn’t she stay out overnight…” Song’s father: “……”

Song’s father asked the servant to pull up the entrance surveillance footage and played it on the large living room screen with surround sound.

Song Zhuqiu hadn’t blacked out and remembered what happened last night.

As the video played, Song Zhuqiu slowly curled into a ball.

So embarrassing! Her toes could dig out two entire Song family mansions.

Song’s mother and Song Liudong watched the footage and couldn’t stop laughing.

Song’s father: “……”

He looked at Song Zhuqiu with mixed feelings.

How could I have raised such a silly child!

The servant standing in the distance was also holding back laughter, head lowered, shoulders shaking. She was afraid that laughing out loud would cost her this high-paying job.

Song’s father was utterly speechless.

“You’re coming to work with me tomorrow,” he said to Song Zhuqiu.

Since she had embarrassed herself in front of an Omega, she needed to be taken out to see the bigger world.

Song’s mother’s phone rang.

“Hello, in-laws~!” Shen’s mother dropped a bombshell right at the start.

Song’s mother: “?”

She looked suspiciously at the caller ID, wondering if it was a wrong number.

“In-laws~ Can you hear me?” Shen’s mother asked again.

Song’s mother confirmed it wasn’t a mistake.

What exactly had her child done?

Shen’s mother was calling early in the morning to imply something.

Had the debt collectors already come knocking?

A love debt, tsk! But why should the parents pay it back?

Why was Shen’s mother calling her? Shouldn’t the young people handle their own affairs?

Song Zhuqiu hadn’t told her family about the marriage yet.

Song’s mother looked at Song Zhuqiu with dissatisfaction.

Song Zhuqiu: “?”

“I can hear you, Yuyi. Go ahead,” Song’s mother replied.

Song’s father signaled her to put it on speaker.

“When would be a good time for both families to have a meal? This is a happy occasion~!”

Song’s parents: “!?”

This brat really did something after all.

Song Liudong: Watching the show.

Song’s mother answered hesitantly, “Um… then let’s set a time.”

“How about tonight?”

“Sure!”

“Then it’s settled. Century Hotel?” Shen’s mother asked.

“Sounds good~”

The call ended.

Song’s parents looked at Song Zhuqiu with faces full of question marks. “Confess.”

“I’ll go upstairs to get something,” Song Zhuqiu said and went back to her room.

The three Song family members sat quietly on the living room sofa, looking at each other.

Song Liudong: Could it be that Sister Shen is pregnant with Sister’s child? Song’s mother: That’s impossible after just meeting. The two communicated with their eyes.

Song’s father: “!”

Not long after, Song Zhuqiu came downstairs holding the marriage certificate.

“Dad, Mom, Liudong, I… got married.” Song Zhuqiu confessed, handing the red booklet to her parents.

The other three: “!”

Song’s mother glanced at the marriage certificate and grabbed Song Zhuqiu’s ear.

“You didn’t do anything to Miss Shen, did you? Otherwise, why would you suddenly get the certificate?”

Other people’s mothers taught their children to protect themselves. Song Zhuqiu’s family was different. Song’s father had been a little tyrant in the capital when he was young. Song’s mother had grown up with him and had seen his fearless, reckless side. Afraid her own children would turn out the same, she had taught her two daughters from a young age not to bully others.

So, her first reaction upon seeing the marriage certificate was that her daughter had taken advantage of the Shen family’s daughter.

Song Zhuqiu cried out that she was wronged.

“A few days ago, I ran into Shen Huailu at the amusement park. By a stroke of fate, we discovered our pheromone compatibility was very high. Then Mother arranged for me to meet her, and we both felt we were a good match, so we went and got married while we were at it.”

Song Zhuqiu’s explanation was full of holes.

First, Song’s parents didn’t know their daughter had already met Shen Huailu. Second, what kind of “stroke of fate” would lead them to discover their pheromone compatibility? Third, why didn’t Song Zhuqiu mention any of this when her mother introduced Shen Huailu? Fourth, the road from Bixi Pavilion to either the Shen or Song residence didn’t pass by the Civil Affairs Bureau. And finally, going to get married required household registration documents — these two kids couldn’t possibly have been carrying them around, right?

Song’s father, who had weathered countless battles in the business world, immediately sensed the inconsistencies in Song Zhuqiu’s story.

But he thought it might be some secret that young girls felt uncomfortable sharing with their elders, so he didn’t pursue it.

Song’s mother, however, seemed to think of something. Her cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she looked at Song Zhuqiu with a hint of reproach.

Song Zhuqiu: “……”

Since no one asked further, she didn’t explain any more.

Song Liudong had something to say.

“Sister, Sister Shen must be a great beauty, right!” Song Liudong’s eyes sparkled.

Song Zhuqiu patted her little sister’s head. “You’ll see her tonight.”

That evening, at Century Hotel.

Song’s parents waited inside the private room while the two sisters waited at the entrance for the Shen family.

Song Zhuqiu was a little nervous. Her hands hung straight at her sides, middle fingers pressed against her suit pants. She stood with her chest out, back straight, and feet at a 60-degree angle.

But her toes kept curling and uncurling inside her shoes. She stared straight at the elevator, her gaze slightly dazed. Even though she had completed so many missions before, this was her first time dealing with such a situation.

In the past, missions involved either fighting and killing or pretending to be a business partner of the powerful. Being cautious was normal.

But now! She was about to meet her in-laws! She couldn’t show up with the look of someone calculating how many bullets and how much time it would take to take down several targets.

Song Zhuqiu unconsciously tightened her grip on her pants.

“Ding.”

The elevator doors opened. The Shen family had arrived.

Song Zhuqiu quickly walked over to Shen’s father.

There was still some distance from the elevator to the private room entrance, but Song Zhuqiu moved with hurried steps.

Song Liudong: “……” She couldn’t keep up and fell behind.

“Dad! Mom!” Song Zhuqiu’s mind went blank and she started talking nonsense.

Shen’s parents: “!”

Shen Huailu: “……”

Song Liudong: “……”

This embarrassing idiot is not my sister.

Shen’s father composed himself and greeted the Song sisters.

“Zhuqiu has grown up to be so outstanding!” Shen’s mother praised.

After a few pleasantries, the waiter opened the door to the private room.

Song’s parents stood up to welcome the Shen family.

“It’s been a long time, Yunsheng, Yuyi,” Song’s father greeted first.

“Uncle, Auntie, Liudong,” Shen Huailu nodded to the Song family.

Song’s mother looked at Shen Huailu with sparkling eyes. “Huailu truly is a heavenly fairy. Our Qiūqiū has picked up a treasure, hehe~”

Both sets of parents knew each other well and had few questions. After the greetings, they quickly became warm and lively.

Only Song Zhuqiu and Shen Huailu remained standing.

Song Zhuqiu felt extremely awkward. Her eyes darted around — looking at her own parents one moment, then at Shen’s parents the next.

Song Liudong: Watching the show. She had no intention of helping her sister ease the embarrassment.

Shen Huailu noticed the person beside her was spacing out and poked her shoulder.

Song’s mother: “Hurry up and help your wife take a seat!”

Shen’s parents and Song’s father looked toward the two of them.

Song Zhuqiu, feeling embarrassed and at a loss, acted on impulse. She reached out and lightly patted Shen Huailu’s shoulder — returning the poke as a greeting. In the army, that’s how everyone greeted each other.

She was even about to pull out a chair for Shen Huailu to sit.

That’s what Song Zhuqiu thought she was doing.

In reality, after Song’s mother spoke, everyone was smiling and looking at them. The room suddenly became very quiet.

Then came a clear “slap” sound in the air.

Shen Huailu: That hurt.

The three Song family members: “……”

Is our family’s cabbage going to rot in the ground?

Shen’s parents felt a complex mix of emotions in their hearts.
