The Cold Alpha's Black Lotus O Strategy Plan (GL) - Chapter 5

“Mark her completely…”

“Once she’s marked, she’ll belong entirely to you.”

That nightmarish voice continued echoing in Lü Zhongcai’s ears.

She clenched her jaw and bit down. Her gunpowder-scented Alpha pheromones gradually poured into the Omega’s gland.

Jin Sique began trembling faintly. Her five fingers tightened around the edge of the bed, the creased sheets digging between them.

Too deep…

Lü Zhongcai seemed to be biting far too deeply today…

This was not a temporary mark!

Jin Sique began to struggle, but to an Alpha, her resistance was insignificant.

“Zhongcai…”

Strength drained from Jin Sique’s body. Her hand slipped from the side of the bed, and her fingertips touched the bedside drawer.

She tried to pull it open, wanting to grab something so she could reject or resist Lü Zhongcai.

But her body grew increasingly soft, collapsing like a puddle of mud until she could barely maintain her original posture.

A prickling itch spread outward from her gland. The unbearable emptiness replaced the pain of the pheromones entering her body.

Jin Sique let out a soft moan, the light in her eyes flickering unsteadily.

“Zhongcai…”

Her fingers slipped over the edge of the drawer.

She lowered her gaze. A cold light filled her wavering eyes as her fingertips touched the icy corner of a pair of scissors inside.

Lü Zhongcai could feel the Omega trembling in her arms. The shoulders restrained beneath her hands were gradually going limp.

Between her lips and teeth, the Omega’s grassy pheromones were like a sickle cutting away her reason.

The deeper she went, the more concentrated the pheromones became.

She wanted them desperately. As her teeth tightened, she even overlooked the trembling and pleading of the woman beneath her.

The scent was thick and feverish, like an electric current shooting directly into her mind. It nearly stripped her of all reason and reduced her to an animal enslaved by pheromones.

Hungry…

Thirsting for more.

She wanted to possess this Omega—to devour and seize her completely!

“That’s right…”

“Just like that. Bite down. A little deeper, and the mark will become permanent!”

Lü Zhongcai abruptly regained her senses.

Her jaw loosened.

Like a fish pulled from the water and thrown onto the riverbank, Jin Sique gave a weak convulsion.

Lü Zhongcai drew back slightly and lowered her gaze.

A crescent-shaped bite mark surrounded the Omega’s gland, with tiny beads of blood seeping from it.

The moment she withdrew, the skin around Jin Sique’s gland burned fiercely. The returning pheromones surged through her, and the stabbing pain combined with the lingering scent of gunpowder, like the smoky odor left behind after a cigarette had burned out.

Jin Sique’s soft body instantly went rigid before collapsing weakly once more.

“I’m sorry…” Lü Zhongcai said hoarsely.

Jin Sique lowered her head.

The pair of scissors she had partly pulled from the drawer made a faint sound as it fell back inside.

“I’m fine…”

Jin Sique turned around. Her eyes and brows looked damp, flushed, and heated. She forced a drowsy smile at Lü Zhongcai.

“Why did you…”

“I nearly marked you permanently. It was my fault. It won’t happen again.”

Jin Sique smiled, though the expression never reached her eyes.

“Zhongcai,” she called softly, “I wasn’t unwilling.”

Lü Zhongcai carefully studied her expression.

It was exactly the same expression Jin Sique had worn during their first time two years ago.

“I’ll keep my promise. Don’t worry.”

Jin Sique gently closed her eyes, turned around, and wrapped her arms around Lü Zhongcai. Her disheveled hair rubbed all over Lü Zhongcai’s face.

“Zhongcai…”

It seemed like a signal.

Lü Zhongcai freed one hand and gently cupped the back of Jin Sique’s neck.

The gland was one of the most sensitive areas on an Alpha or Omega’s body. After being marked, it was like an overripe pear on the verge of bursting at the slightest touch.

Lü Zhongcai’s hand continued moving downward.

Jin Sique shuddered uncontrollably. Like a frightened bird, she trembled against Lü Zhongcai’s shoulder.

“We’re in a hospital room…”

“Then be quick.”

Lü Zhongcai’s breathing deepened. She lightly kissed the rim of Jin Sique’s ear while reaching behind herself with one hand.

She removed the silver necklace from around her neck, gathered Jin Sique’s hands together, raised them above her head, and bound them there.

…

Jin Sique seemed to transform into a wave, rising and falling in the wind while allowing the sand from the shore to fill and smother her.

She looked as though she was about to surrender to the tide, yet a trace of awareness always remained hidden in her eyes.

Her brows were tightly knitted. Her lips parted and closed as she released soft, accommodating whimpers.

Her forehead and face were flushed and damp with sweat. Her eyes had lost focus, but her pupils stared blankly into the void, revealing a numb expression.

It was as though only her body experienced the pleasure while her soul took no part in it.

Lü Zhongcai glanced sideways and studied Jin Sique’s profile.

Under the moonlight, Jin Sique’s gaze was unfocused and slightly dazed.

It was always like this.

Even though they had been married for two years, Jin Sique had still never grown accustomed to the impact of that choking pheromone scent.

“I’ll wipe it off.”

Jin Sique’s face was bright red. She sat up, took a wet wipe, and carefully cleaned between Lü Zhongcai’s fingers.

A faint blush also colored Lü Zhongcai’s cold, refined face, but her expression remained distant and indifferent.

“Why aren’t you wearing anything?”

Jin Sique froze.

Her face seemed to catch fire, instantly changing from pink to the deep red of a ripe apple.

“I-I already told you. I washed everything and hung it up to dry.”

Lü Zhongcai gave a quiet acknowledgment.

She watched Jin Sique hurriedly finish cleaning her, climb out of bed, and flee into the bathroom.

After their intimacy, Jin Sique resembled a cake made of fresh grass that had been stirred into a complete mess.

Tender green blended with thick white.

No Alpha could possibly resist an Omega who looked like this.

Lü Zhongcai could not tear her gaze away for a long time.

She wiped the corner of her lips with a finger, briefly ran her tongue over it, opened the bedside drawer, and injected a suppressant into a vein in her wrist.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

052’s voice sounded inside her mind again.

“She’s avoiding you.”

052 continued chattering.

“It’s true that she didn’t bring any clothes, but it’s also true that she deliberately wore nothing. She already knew what would happen tonight. Otherwise, why didn’t she dry her underwear with the hair dryer?”

“President Lü, you’re so foolish! The black lotus was seducing you! Why didn’t you take the opportunity to mark her permanently? You were only a tiny bit away!”

Lü Zhongcai: “…”

She tapped her forehead as though trying to drive the voice out of her mind.

052 said, “I’m a transmigration system. You can’t get rid of me unless you complete the mission and we’re both freed. Otherwise, even after you become a fallen, penniless president, I’ll still have to remain with you!”

052’s voice lowered, becoming sinister and wicked.

“Turn evil, President Lü. While you can still reverse your fate, cripple the black lotus first and make sure she can never recover! Then destroy her unforgettable first love, and you’ll have nothing left to worry about!”

“Actually, according to the usual transmigration formula, there’s an even better solution. You can redeem the black-lotus protagonist yourself, replace her first love as the official protagonist Alpha, and then make the female lead Omega fall in love with you…”

Lü Zhongcai picked up her phone, opened her inbox, and began reading her emails.

The international correspondence was written entirely in English and contained various professional economic terms.

Lü Zhongcai skimmed ten lines at a glance, reading extremely quickly.

052 said, “President Lü, can we please stop reading this? My dream is to be illiterate. I don’t want to study. At the very least, could you switch to something written in Chinese?”

After replying to the email, Lü Zhongcai opened one written in Chinese.

It had been sent by the finance department of LE’s domestic branch. The attachment concerned the budget for an international acquisition.

052 asked, “Can we not read this either?”

Lü Zhongcai ignored it completely.

—

Inside the bathroom, Jin Sique casually grabbed a shower cap and gathered her long hair beneath it.

She turned on the faucet and allowed the water to pour over her head, soaking into every pore and washing away the Alpha pheromones that clung to every part of her body.

She absently massaged the red marks the necklace had left around her wrists, then turned sideways to examine the back of her neck in the mirror.

The Alpha’s bite marks were clearly visible, dotted with traces of blood.

Lü Zhongcai had nearly bitten deeply into her gland.

Jin Sique frowned.

Lü Zhongcai had never lost control like this before.

Why had it happened?

With her brows tightly knitted, Jin Sique removed the shower cap and threw it into the trash can at her feet.

She adjusted her expression. Only after confirming that her face displayed a sweet, flawless, bashful smile did she turn the handle and leave the bathroom.

“Zhongcai, shall we sleep together?” Jin Sique asked with a smile.

Lü Zhongcai looked at her and put down her phone.

“All right.”
