After Becoming a Scummy Alpha, the Movie Queen Just Wants to Pamper Her Wife - Chapter 86

Meng Chuwu and Xi Xiaoyan were preparing to welcome Xi Xiaoxiao home with a feast.

But Xi Xiaoxiao said, “Right now, I only want Ji Yi to welcome me home!”

The next second, Ji Yi pulled the car over to the side of the road, turned around, and looked at the couple in the back seat, saying, “Sorry about this,” Her face clearly spelled out the words “Get out.”

“Ji Yi, you can’t be serious!” Meng Chuwu never imagined she’d be treated like this by her childhood friend one day.

“I am,” Ji Yi said without hesitation, shooing them out.

“Sister Wu, let’s not hold them up,” Xi Xiaoyan said, grabbing Meng Chuwu’s hand with her left and opening the car door with her right.

“Ji Yi, well done!” Xi Xiaoxiao praised.

“Save that for later.”

Prioritizing romance over friendship instant karma! Meng Chuwu frowned. “Officer Ji, you’ve been driving all the way from the airport. Can you at least hold back a little until my dear and I get out?”

“No!” Ji Yi remained expressionless.

Xi Xiaoxiao gloated again, “Woman, well done!”

Xi Xiaoyan, already stepping out with her right foot, couldn’t take it anymore and turned back. “Sister Wu, they’ve been waiting for this for so long. After a long drought comes rain, let’s be understanding.”

Meng Chuwu had to admit, Xi Xiaoyan’s sarcasm was sharper than ever.

They got out by Riverside Park.

It was early March, and the afternoon breeze carried faint floral scents.

The sun was bright, the sky blue, and fluffy white clouds lazily nestled in its embrace.

“It’s been a while since I’ve basked in the sun,” Xi Xiaoyan said after over an hour in the car, stretching her arms before lowering her head and covering a yawn with her hand.

Meng Chuwu, as if catching the yawn, did the same.

“Shall we walk by the river?”

“I was thinking the same,” Xi Xiaoyan said, linking her arm with Meng Chuwu’s.

Meng Chuwu put on her sunglasses, and the two walked hand in hand through the greenery onto the park’s boardwalk.

Three years later, their figures remained unchanged. Xi Xiaoyan, picky with food, stayed slender, her fashion sense increasingly artistic. Meng Chuwu, who kept up with exercise and had a demanding workload, maintained her graceful figure, now favoring bold colors that matched her red hair better than pastels.

Walking along the boardwalk, they were a picturesque sight.

The river breeze tousled their long hair black and red strands intertwining like playful friends under the shade of trees.

On a weekday afternoon, the park was quiet, with kapok trees in bloom and birds chirping.

Meng Chuwu and Xi Xiaoyan strolled leisurely, fingers entwined.

“Sister Wu, I have a question.”

Whenever Xi Xiaoyan started like this, Meng Chuwu’s instincts screamed danger her questions were often traps.

“What is it?”

“Do you remember the bet we made three years ago about my sister and Ji Yi?”

“About whether they’d get married within three years?”

“Yes. Now I’ve lost, so according to the bet, I have to grant you one wish.”

“You didn’t exactly lose, they’re together, aren’t they?”

Xi Xiaoyan shook her head. “Married or not that’s clear-cut. Like winning or losing.”

“Yanyan, as long as they’re happy.”

“Sister Wu, no leniency!” Xi Xiaoyan cut her off. Though it was a trivial bet from three years ago, she was meticulous. “We must stick to the rules.”

“Technically, we made the bet in late April. It’s only early March now, almost two months left.”

Meng Chuwu’s precise memory pleased Xi Xiaoyan. “You know how my sister’s proposal went. And Ji Yi she won’t propose anytime soon.”

“How so?”

“If she wanted to marry my sister, she wouldn’t have asked her to move in now but waited until after marriage.”

“Maybe Officer Ji wants to test compatibility first?”

“Sister Wu, Ji Yi’s been your friend since childhood. If she thought my sister wasn’t compatible, would she invite her to live together?!”

Meng Chuwu was speechless. Indeed, Ji Yi was distant from the world.

Perhaps due to her profession, having seen too much darkness, she was deeply guarded.

Inviting Xi Xiaoxiao to live with her was a monumental step.

“You don’t have to tell me your wish today.”

“Yanyan,” Meng Chuwu interrupted, “let’s have a baby!”

Now that her work had eased and Xi Xiaoyan had graduated, their timing was perfect.

Having her own child was once unthinkable, but in this world, she’d seen many same-sex couples do so. Now, she had no doubts.

“Sister Wu!” Xi Xiaoyan suddenly stepped in front of her, tilting her head up, her bright eyes trying to see past the sunglasses into Meng Chuwu’s gaze, her expression unusually serious.

“What?!” Meng Chuwu, startled, removed her sunglasses to see Xi Xiaoyan’s eyes glistening with a cold light.

“Having a baby can’t be part of our bet! Because ” Xi Xiaoyan paused, “this is something I’ve been ready for since the day I agreed to marry you!”

Under her gaze, Meng Chuwu felt ashamed. “Sorry, I was too flippant.”

Even if her intent wasn’t about the bet, her words had sounded careless.

“I know you didn’t mean it that way, but I want our reasons for having a baby to be purer.”

“How?”

Knowing Xi Xiaoyan had prepared for this since their marriage, Meng Chuwu deferred to her.

“Sister Wu, what was your motive just now when you said, ‘let’s have a baby’?”

Her serious tone made Meng Chuwu nervous.

A wrong answer could be fatal.

What would make their motives purer?

Gazing at Xi Xiaoyan’s patient expression, Meng Chuwu felt a surge of tenderness. “Yanyan, I love you so much that I want a child that’s part you, part me.”

Xi Xiaoyan’s eyes bloomed with joy, her face lighting up with a sweet smile.

“That’s more like it!” she said.

If it was only “more like it,” she likely had more to say.

“Do you have another idea?” Meng Chuwu asked.

“Not exactly,” Xi Xiaoyan lowered her eyes, tapping her toe on the boardwalk. “Besides loving you, I’ve always wanted to be a mother maybe it’s an Omega’s genetic instinct. Do you want to be a mother too?”

Meng Chuwu was taken aback. In her past world, same-sex couples couldn’t conceive, and she’d never considered it outside love. But here, it was possible. “Absolutely! Becoming a mother with you would be amazing!”

“Right?!”

Meng Chuwu nodded vigorously, her eyes inexplicably moist.

“Me too being a mother with Sister Wu would be so, so wonderful!”

They laughed together.

“Mid-March is coming. I’ll schedule a check-up tomorrow. If we’re healthy, we can start next week.”

Xi Xiaoyan playfully covered Meng Chuwu’s mouth. “So eager! Though my thesis defense is over, I’m preparing a solo exhibition in June.”

“Most of your work is ready. I can help with the rest!”

“You’re so passionate! Or should I say, intense!”

“Don’t you like it?”

“Maybe we should skip the check-up and just go for it!”

“No, we should ensure we’re healthy. Given how often we our pheromone levels might be low.”

“Fine, I’ll listen to you.”

Hand in hand, they walked on.

Sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows on their retreating figures.

Previously indifferent to genetic rankings, their high-level genes now proved advantageous. All prenatal tests came back “excellent+++.” As the doctor said, “It’s rare to see double-S couples. You’re perfect have babies, lots of them! Your offspring will be exceptional!”

The doctor’s exaggerated tone made them laugh.

After the check-up, they abstained for days until March 12th.

Meng Chuwu prepared meticulously, creating a warm, conception-friendly atmosphere. Xi Xiaoyan teased, “You’re making me nervous. What if I don’t conceive this cycle.”

“Let it happen naturally. If you don’t, it’s because I—”

Xi Xiaoyan pressed a finger to her lips. “Don’t say you’re inadequate! You know that’s not true.”

“Then let’s not waste time!” Meng Chuwu swept her into the bathroom.

Though familiar with the routine, Xi Xiaoyan’s heart still raced each time.

Does love fade?

She didn’t know about others, but her love for Meng Chuwu burned as bright as ever and Meng Chuwu’s for her. Time only deepened their bond, making each encounter fresh.

Nearly three years married, they’d had disagreements, but each conflict brought them closer, helping them grow into better versions of themselves.

News of their baby plans unexpectedly trended.

Fans had been watching closely, flooding Meng Chuwu’s social media.

“Double-S genes + triple award-winning actress + top Omega beauty, how legendary will their baby be?!”

“Must be a girl! Same-sex couples should have girls!!”

“Like her debut, our actress will hit it big, right?!”

“When will they share updates?! The wait is killing me!”

“Ten months next year then?”

“Our actress can do it faster!”

Xi Xiaoyan wondered who leaked their plans.

“Probably the doctor,” Meng Chuwu guessed, recalling the nosy physician who’d bombarded them with questions.

“So, do you really prefer girls?”

“Whatever you have, I’ll love.” Meng Chuwu tread carefully she’d once said she wanted a girl but now played dumb.

“My body shows no signs. Maybe this time.”

“Xi Xiaoyan, it’s only been days!” Meng Chuwu laughed. “The doctor said at least seven days to test, ten to be sure.”

“I’m so nervous! Everyone’s watching my belly.”

“Let it be. We did our best maybe it worked.”

“I hope so. But my parents, brother, even my annoying sister, she’s been nicer! And Chao Yi, Chi Qing, Chen Lanying they’re all so concerned!”

“If not this month, there’s next,” Meng Chuwu said, realizing the pressure. “We don’t owe anyone anything. This is our life.”

“Okay!” Xi Xiaoyan took a deep breath.

March’s efforts failed, but they soon shifted focus to Xi Xiaoyan’s exhibition.

In April, during her heat, their approach was more relaxed less pressure, more pleasure.

Afterward, Xi Xiaoyan grinned mischievously.

Meng Chuwu braced for mischief.

“Guess what?”

“What?”

“How many times we’ve done it in three years?”

“You kept count?!” Meng Chuwu was stunned, she’d scolded her before for this.

Xi Xiaoyan giggled and nodded.

“I won’t guess.”

“Then I’ll tell you.”

“I won’t listen.”

“I’ll say it anyway.”

Meng Chuwu covered her ears. “La la la.”

Xi Xiaoyan laughed. “It’s part of our love! Listen, 720 times, counting just now!”

“That’s a lot!”

“Meaning?”

“Our life is happy and harmonious!”

Xi Xiaoyan giggled. “Very harmonious and happy!”

Meng Chuwu pulled her close, still enchanted by her spring-like scent.

Soon, their third anniversary arrived.

They celebrated with friends, abstaining from alcohol for their baby plans.

That night, Xi Xiaoyan said, “I have another gift for you!”

“You already gave me one this morning. I don’t have a second one!”

“Come here!” She took Meng Chuwu’s hand.

Seeing her radiant eyes, Meng Chuwu understood.

Xi Xiaoyan placed Meng Chuwu’s hand on her belly, smiling before meeting her gaze.

The room fell silent.

Under her gaze, Meng Chuwu’s heart raced anew.

“Sister Wu, it worked. We’re mothers now.”

“Congratulations to us!”
