After Becoming a Scummy Alpha, I Became a Slave to My Beloved Wife - Chapter 36

The Alpha I love is right in front of me.

Jiang Nian had been recuperating in the hospital, and after three days, she was finally out of danger.

The moment the doctor said she could consider being discharged, Jiang Nian didn’t hesitate—she completed the discharge procedures immediately and returned home that very day.

But there was no sign of Qiao Wenyu at home.

During her hospital stay, Jiang Nian hadn’t seen Qiao Wenyu come to visit even once. She was extremely worried, afraid that something might have happened to her again.

Later, she heard from her assistant that Qiao Wenyu had been admitted to a convalescent hospital. It was said that due to the incomplete mark on her neck, Qiao Wenyu’s heat this month had become unusually intense.

Not only were the suppressants ineffective, but all the symptoms of heat were also especially severe.

To be safe, Qiao Wenyu had voluntarily checked into a convalescent center and was even considering having the mark removed.

Jiang Nian couldn’t bear the thought of Qiao Wenyu enduring such an abnormal heat alone, and even more so, she couldn’t stand the idea of her undergoing a mark removal. It’s said that for an Omega, if one wants to avoid damaging the sensitivity of the gland, anesthesia cannot be used during the procedure. And the post-operative recovery process involves unimaginable pain.

“I’m going to see her,” Jiang Nian said, turning to leave. Her assistant tried to stop her but couldn’t.

Lu Renbing barely managed to catch up to his boss. Bending over with his hands on his knees, he gasped, “President Jiang, you just recovered. Let me drive you there—you don’t even know where Miss Qiao is.”

Jiang Nian stopped and tossed the car keys to him. “Hurry. Take me to Wenyu.”

Traffic on the way was smooth, and with navigation, Lu Renbing arrived at the convalescent center in just over twenty minutes.

The facility had strict entry protocols; visitors had to be verified at the gate before entering.

Originally, Jiang Nian didn’t have access, but through her powerful network, she managed to find a way in.

Once inside, the assistant wisely didn’t follow her further. Jiang Nian made her way alone to Qiao Wenyu’s room.

At the door, a staff member, having received orders from their superior, handed Jiang Nian an inhibitor.

“President Jiang, it’s better if you restrain yourself. Miss Qiao has been reacting very strongly these past few days, and the pheromone concentration in her room is abnormally high.”

Jiang Nian nodded, took the inhibitor, and injected it into her arm. Only after the medication took effect did the staff allow her in.

Inside, she saw Qiao Wenyu flushed and soaked in sweat, looking as if she’d been steeped in alcohol. She was wearing a silk nightgown, but because of the intense heat and her constant tossing and turning, it barely covered her.

Jiang Nian felt a tightness in her throat. She had to summon all the self-control she had to stay calm.

“Jiejie…” She opened her mouth and realized how hoarse her voice was. Just those two syllables betrayed her overwhelming desire to claim her.

Qiao Wenyu struggled to lift her eyes, long lashes trembling, her voice filled with unbearable moans. “Mm… Why… why are you here… mm…”

“I was worried about you. What’s going on with the mark on your neck?” Jiang Nian asked, unable to hold back.

Qiao Wenyu was burning up, waves of heat crashing over her mind, and at times she couldn’t even hear what people around her were saying.

Not getting an answer made Jiang Nian anxious. But soon, she noticed Qiao Wenyu’s diagnosis report on the nearby tea table.

— Inferior Alpha, incomplete nape marking.
— Severe heat cycle.

Treatment recommendation: Prioritize finding a high-quality partner and completing the mark. If unwilling, consider mark removal. Anesthesia not recommended.

There was a second treatment option: she could either endure the heat conservatively or find a high-quality Alpha to complete the mark.

After reading the report, Jiang Nian had a general understanding of Qiao Wenyu’s condition. If they wanted a quick solution, there were only two options—remove the mark, or find a suitable Alpha to complete it.

Outside, the staff noticed Jiang Nian had been inside for a while and opened the door to check in.
“President Jiang, are you alright? If you’re struggling to stay in control, it’s best you come out quickly.”

“I’m her partner,” Jiang Nian replied calmly.

The staff member was startled. “You’re her partner? But there are no signs of a completed bond on Miss Qiao.”

“Our situation is… a bit special,” Jiang Nian said. “But it’s true—I’m legally her wife.”

The staff slapped his thigh in realization. “Oh, you should’ve said so earlier! In her condition, it’s best for a bonded partner to help her. She was even considering having the mark removed—if you’re her spouse, there’s no need for that at all!”

“We… still need to talk,” Jiang Nian replied.

The staff chuckled, covered his mouth, and quietly closed the door behind him. Before leaving, he added, “I’ll leave you two to it. We won’t disturb you again. And… if things progress, don’t forget to lock the door.”

Jiang Nian had managed to stay calm until that moment. But after the staff’s comment, a flush crept from her earlobes all the way to her face.

“Mm…” On the bed, Qiao Wenyu was still writhing in discomfort. Her pale, slender legs kept bending and stretching, as if trying to relieve the heat surging through her body.

Jiang Nian stepped closer. She wanted to help her, but a true gentleman does not take advantage of others—especially in moments like this. The more intense the situation became, the more she had to remain composed.

“Xiao Nian…” Qiao Wenyu’s eyes fluttered open slightly, her pink lips parting. “Mm… come closer, give me some of your pheromones…”

Jiang Nian edged closer to the bed, hesitating. “Jiejie, this isn’t right. If I release my pheromones, it’ll only make things worse for you.”

“Xiao Nian…” Qiao Wenyu’s voice trembled, edged with tears. Her eyes shimmered like glass, filled with longing. Gripping the fabric over her chest, she panted, “I want you…”

Jiang Nian’s heart stopped—then resumed pounding wildly, like it might leap out of her chest. She loved Qiao Wenyu. Wanting to be close to the one you love was only natural. But how could she resist such temptation?

Qiao Wenyu closed her eyes, her breathing ragged. “Xiao Nian… I really want you.”

“Jiejie, no. You’re just disoriented from the heat. I know you were thinking of removing the mark—just hang in there a little longer. If you’re truly in that much pain… I-I wouldn’t mind calling the Alpha you like to come help you,” Jiang Nian said, her voice growing soft with sadness. Her eyes brimmed with tears. “Even if it’s Bai Ye, I’ll call her for you. I just don’t want you to suffer anymore…”

Qiao Wenyu’s brows furrowed. She sat up slowly, summoning what little strength she had to support herself.
“You… you little fool… If you’re going to say that, then go find the Alpha I like.”

“I will, I will. Even if it hurts me, I’d do anything for you,” Jiang Nian said, wiping her tears. “It’s Bai Ye, right? I’ll go. I’ll go find her.”

She turned to leave.

But somehow, Qiao Wenyu found the strength to raise her voice, “Stop right there!”

Jiang Nian froze, standing ramrod straight, still quietly crying.

Qiao Wenyu looked at her—this pitiful, helpless little puppy—and curled her finger.
“The Alpha I like… the one I truly like… is standing right in front of me. You silly puppy, don’t you get it yet?”
