After Transmigrating Into A Scum Alpha, I Fell In Love With Her Wife - Chapter 7
“…”
Of all times to fall, it had to be now.
“Don’t look back. Walk forward.”
Shen Li whispered impatiently beside Jiang Yue’s ear, then pushed her away without the slightest mercy.
At this moment, Jiang Yue was still fairly obedient. Hearing the sound of high heels, then seeing Shen Li’s expression, she immediately jogged away without looking back.
Only a nauseating trail of tea-scented pheromones remained behind.
Looking at Sheng Xing’s outfit as she appeared here, Shen Li suddenly understood.
She suddenly understood just how capable the production crew had to be to borrow a real office building of this level.
She suddenly understood why Jiang Yue had said she dared come into contact with Shen Li here because it was true love.
If she was not mistaken, this was Sheng Xing’s company.
For the sake of making filming convenient, Sheng Xing had probably lent them the top three floors.
Of course, not out of some artistic devotion to an idol drama production crew.
Only for Shen Li.
Meeting Sheng Xing’s gaze, Shen Li felt as if her heart had been tugged.
Sheng Xing’s cold, proud gaze barely changed. She was only briefly stunned for an instant before walking toward Shen Li with composed ease.
The office corridor was not exactly narrow, but Sheng Xing walked neither left nor right, coming straight to Shen Li’s side.
Sheng Xing raised her head, her gaze traveling over Shen Li from top to bottom. There was clearly also a sense of novelty in her eyes toward Shen Li’s pure and innocent styling.
“Sheng Xing, I…”
Sheng Xing sniffed, cutting off Shen Li’s words with that simple movement.
The lingering scent of tea had nowhere to hide.
Sheng Xing’s black eyes seemed to shine with broken diamonds. She blinked, her tone faintly mocking.
“Pretty intense, big star.”
After throwing out only that sentence, she turned sideways to leave. Shen Li instinctively grabbed Sheng Xing’s wrist.
Sheng Xing’s gaze sharpened, and there was no trace of joking left in her expression.
“Let go.”
Shen Li did not move. Sheng Xing directly raised her wrist to shake her off, but noisy footsteps and conversation came from around the corner behind them again.
Shen Li reacted quickly enough. The instant Sheng Xing tried to shake her hand away, Shen Li turned the motion into holding hands.
Their palms touched. Sheng Xing’s fingers were very soft and very cool.
The people coming around the corner saw this scene head-on. They first froze, then reacted, and the man in the lead hurriedly asked,
“President Sheng, this must be Madam, right?”
“I’ve only seen you on television before. Today is my first time seeing you in person, and you’re just as stunning as you are on screen.”
“Actually, I feel Madam Shen is even more radiant in real life than on camera.”
“President Sheng and Miss Shen look truly well matched together.”
Those who could speak directly to Sheng Xing were naturally several high-level executives. After the crowd offered a round of affectionate praise, Sheng Xing also could no longer pull Shen Li’s hand away.
It was not entirely flattery either. There was already a natural barrier between celebrities and ordinary people. Add to that Shen Li’s publicly acknowledged god-tier face, her superior bone structure and aura, and even with light makeup, she was beautiful enough that people could not look away.
Sheng Xing’s face flushed slightly. She gave the others a small nod, and her fingers settled obediently in Shen Li’s palm.
When everyone saw the usually cold President Sheng, who never had any extra expression, actually blush slightly at this moment, their eyes widened even more. In their hearts, they sighed over how well matched the two of them were.
As for those rumors about Miss Shen, well, it was far too normal for a big star to have rumors.
When two great beauties with equal looks and matching auras stood together, all the rumors collapsed on their own.
“President Sheng, for future events, would we have the honor of inviting Madam to attend?”
The planning director, who was usually lively, immediately gathered the courage to seize the opportunity and joke.
Sheng Xing did not speak. Shen Li smiled faintly.
Pretty dimples rippled across her clear face. Her arm naturally circled Sheng Xing’s waist, and she looked at her gently.
“I’ve already saved plenty of time in my schedule for President Sheng. Ah Xing, remember me when there’s an opportunity.”
A burst of teasing laughter came from the crowd. Everyone tactfully let Sheng Xing and Shen Li leave first.
Shen Li did not let go of the hand around Sheng Xing’s waist. Sheng Xing moved slightly, and Shen Li lowered her head to breathe beside her ear.
“They’re still watching.”
Sheng Xing instantly stopped moving, allowing Shen Li to keep holding her all the way to her office.
A CEO’s office was large in the same predictable way, and Sheng Xing’s was no exception.
As soon as the door closed, Sheng Xing flung Shen Li’s arm away without the slightest mercy.
She even directly took off the white haute couture suit jacket, leaving only the knitted short-sleeved inner layer underneath.
She thought it was dirty.
Shen Li watched her movements and smiled.
“I’ll go out after ten minutes, okay? That way it won’t arouse too much suspicion.”
“Do whatever you want.”
Sheng Xing was too lazy to even look at Shen Li again. She casually threw that jacket onto the sofa—
the only messy thing in her stern and orderly office.
After all, this was Sheng Xing’s territory, and she did not bicker too much with Shen Li. After speaking, she went straight into the bathroom inside the suite. Soon, the sound of running water from washing hands came from within.
Shen Li glanced at the time and confirmed what time it would be ten minutes later.
She casually walked a couple of steps and easily saw a document weighed down on Sheng Xing’s desk.
Divorce Agreement.
Other papers were covering the agreement, so only the words “Divorce Agreement” could be seen.
Shen Li was silent for two seconds. Then she reached out and moved the papers on top a little higher.
Completely covering it.
Shen Li then raised her head and looked around. This office had clearly been temporarily prepared for Sheng Xing, but even so, a group photo still hung on the wall.
There was only an elderly woman and Sheng Xing in a school uniform in the photo.
Sheng Xing resembled her between the brows, with the same clear, beautiful eyes.
It was probably her grandmother.
The Sheng Xing of her student days did not yet carry such a strong coldness. She wore a school uniform, her black hair cut to shoulder length, and leaned against the elderly woman’s side, even playfully making a peace sign.
Shen Li stared at it, absorbed, and almost did not hear Sheng Xing calling her from the bathroom.
Sheng Xing’s voice was pressed very low. For a moment, Shen Li thought she had misheard. It was only when the second call came that she immediately walked inside.
The bathroom door was closed. Shen Li had just raised her hand when Sheng Xing pulled it open from inside.
Sheng Xing tugged her in, then turned and pressed her against the door.
The suppressor patch over Sheng Xing’s gland had been removed, and the entire bathroom was filled with rich gardenia fragrance.
She seemed to have made a great deal of determination before making this move, but when she met Shen Li’s eyes, her face suddenly flushed a little again.
Sheng Xing lowered her eyes, avoiding Shen Li’s gaze, her tone deliberately cold and hard.
“Your pheromones.”
“What about them?” Shen Li looked at her and asked seriously.
Still pretending not to understand.
Sheng Xing’s face turned even redder.
“A normal physical reaction after a temporary mark. I need your pheromones. Do you understand now?”
Shen Li looked at how tightly Sheng Xing was gripping her wrist, the abnormal flush on her cheeks, and that fierce expression she was deliberately pretending to wear. In a daze, she overlapped with the young girl in the photo just now.
“I understand.”
Shen Li answered.
But she made no move at all.
“If you understand, then why aren’t you…” Sheng Xing’s words got stuck in her mouth.
“Why aren’t I what?” Shen Li looked at her and asked back, her long lashes blinking lightly.
“…”
Sheng Xing realized that Shen Li was doing it on purpose again. A trace of anger appeared on her flushed cheeks, and her thin lips could not help pressing together in displeasure.
“Why aren’t I hurrying to give it to you? Soothe you? Please you?”
“Ah Xing, I’m a normal Alpha with excellent constitution. I’m not a tool, and pheromones aren’t something I can release whenever they’re needed.”
There was even a hint of deliberate grievance in Shen Li’s tone.
Sheng Xing raised her head and looked into those tea-colored eyes. Her thin lips curved coldly.
She extended two fingers and, copying Jiang Yue’s gesture from earlier, twisted them around the ribbon on the front of Shen Li’s white shirt. Her eyes were full of mocking disdain.
“Is this what it takes?”
Shen Li looked at Sheng Xing’s increasingly icy gaze, and at the sweat slowly seeping across her forehead because of her physical discomfort. After a pause, she directly reached up and began undoing the buttons of her shirt.
Sheng Xing froze, then quickly let go and took a step back.
“What are you doing?”
In a few swift movements, Shen Li took off the shirt and tossed it aside—
underneath was a pure white camisole in the same color scheme.
“You hate that she touched this shirt just now, so I’ll take it off.”
“…”
Shen Li had an excellent figure. The fitted camisole outlined her graceful curves, and the ends of her black hair hung behind her head, swaying over her shoulders.
In the cramped office bathroom, pheromones overflowed, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Even though her behavior was ridiculous, Sheng Xing’s face still heated a little more uncontrollably.
“Th-then what do you want…”
Shen Li had originally only been teasing her, but Sheng Xing had taken it seriously instead.
Shen Li looked at Sheng Xing’s cold, noble brows and eyes, at the way she showed no awareness and still believed Shen Li was the same Shen Li from before. After seriously thinking for a while, Shen Li shrugged.
“Just like we used to.”
Sheng Xing clearly froze. She lightly raised her head and looked into Shen Li’s eyes, her gaze becoming even more complicated. Her small face turned even redder from holding back, and she widened her eyes to glare fiercely at Shen Li before turning to leave.
Shen Li quickly reached out. In the next second, Sheng Xing was pulled back into her arms.
As she held Sheng Xing, Shen Li reached her other hand toward the back of her own neck and removed the blocker patch over her gland. The crisp scent of mint immediately mixed with the gardenia fragrance.
Shen Li felt Sheng Xing trembling, her body struggling. She did not know whether Sheng Xing was angry or uncomfortable.
Shen Li could only use a little more strength, releasing pheromones as she said,
“Alright, Ah Xing.”
“It’s okay now.”
Shen Li hugged Sheng Xing from the front, watching her swollen gland as she gently released pheromones to soothe her.
The frequency of Sheng Xing’s trembling began to decrease.
Because she was unwilling to make any other intimate movement, Sheng Xing could only rely on deep breaths, trying hard to obtain Shen Li’s mint pheromones.
Like a little cat.
Holding her, Shen Li leaned back and sat against the edge of the sink, lowering herself.
Making it more convenient for Sheng Xing to hold her.
“Let me tell you about today’s scene.”
“Today, I played a young employee who had just entered the workplace and met her first love after five years apart. When they met again, that first love had already become her direct superior.”
“The scene we just filmed was their first reunion after five years. A reckless young employee turned a corner and ran into her university senior, her former lover.”
Shen Li’s storytelling voice flowed past Sheng Xing’s ear like spring water, giving Sheng Xing an inexplicable sense of immersion.
University, senior, lover…
Just like them.
The people in the story were lovers reuniting after separation, while she and Shen Li were facing an agreed divorce.
“The actress acting opposite me is quite good, but still, the impact was stronger when I turned the corner and ran into you.”
Shen Li’s voice came from above her head. Sheng Xing had gradually settled down, and she could not help letting out a faint scoff.
“You can actually evaluate other people’s acting?”
?
“You’ve watched my acting?”
Shen Li was a little surprised.
Based on her judgment of Sheng Xing, this career-focused woman, who clearly knew her partner was a vase she had spent money to prop up, had actually wasted time watching Shen Li’s dramas?
“Obviously.”
Sheng Xing’s voice was muffled.
Shen Li felt her heart inexplicably pound hard again. It was different from weightlessness; there seemed to be some strange emotion rising back up inside her.
“Was it good?”
“…No.”
“…”
“The old ones don’t count. In the future, if there’s a chance…”
“A chance to do what?”
“…Nothing.”
Shen Li’s voice gradually turned calm.
Pheromones taken in, soothing, entangling, resonating.
They did not even need to do anything additionally intimate.
Simply leaning her head against Shen Li’s arms was enough for Sheng Xing’s agitated, unsettled body to be soothed.
A 98% match rate was just that unreasonable.
Sheng Xing felt the temperature of her gland slowly drop, and the heat across her body faded away.
The mirror above the sink was large enough.
Large enough that with one glance, Sheng Xing could see herself.
In the mirror, she was leaning against Shen Li’s shoulder. Shen Li’s clean black ponytail hung high, her shoulder, neck, and collarbone lines straight, her figure striking.
And on her fair back were still bloody scratches left by fingernails…
They seemed to be masterpieces Sheng Xing had made that night when she had lost herself in desire.
The heat in her body dispersed, but the flush on her cheeks was still difficult to fade.
It spread from her cheekbones across the bridge of her nose, dyeing most of her face.
Looking into the mirror, Sheng Xing once again felt that the woman reflected there—her wife, whom she was about to divorce—seemed so unfamiliar.
Sheng Xing would always remember the day they got married. They were supposed to complete the marking, and when she approached Shen Li, she saw that false, forced smile.
And the thin, difficult-to-release pheromones.
The ABO world was simple and brutally honest. Pheromones could not deceive anyone.
The resistance in Shen Li’s heart had pierced Sheng Xing’s most cherished pride, and she had absolutely refused to be marked for life like that.
She had been waiting all this time.
Waiting for the day Shen Li was willing.
Until what she waited for was more and more gossip.
A 98% pheromone match was merely a biological decision. Her heart and her freedom were a matter of one divorce agreement.
It was not that she could not afford to lose.
And yet now, at the very moment the divorce agreement had already been drafted, Shen Li’s gentle, considerate movements and the soothing pheromones she slowly released…
Were they for the sake of getting a larger share of the assets?
“Feeling better?”
Shen Li’s lazy voice came.
Sheng Xing took a deep breath, let go of Shen Li, reached up to gently touch her own gland, then tilted her head and glanced at her.
“It is indeed effective. Your constitution really is decent.”
Shen Li looked at her and blinked.
She seemed unsatisfied with this one bit of praise.
Sheng Xing lightly cleared her throat.
“Although I was forced into this temporary mark by you, I’ve never liked owing anyone.”
Sheng Xing extended one fair, jade-like index finger, the pad of it facing up, and lifted Shen Li’s chin. Her beautiful almond eyes met Shen Li’s tea-colored pupils, which shimmered with rippling light.
“This time counts as me buying you. How much do you want?”
