After the Scumbag Alpha Heard her Inner Thoughts - Chapter 53 (END OF MAIN STORY )

At that moment, Chu Muqing didn’t even know how to describe her feelings.
One second, she woke up, and the next, her wife had run away and she wasn’t even allowed to ask where she went?

She let out a laugh, half angry and half helpless.

Still, she didn’t push Xu Chengke any further. She just wanted to know where Su Wanqing had gone. She wasn’t planning to chase her down.

Chu Muqing opened WeChat. Su Wanqing’s chat was pinned right at the top, easy to spot.

She typed quickly:

[Baby~ Don’t be mad. Just tell me where you’re going. I promise I won’t go after you. I just want to know that you’re safe.]

[Attached: an adorable cat emoji.]

Chu Muqing’s face stayed cold as she tapped her phone, her expression giving away nothing.
No one would have guessed she was trying to sweet-talk her Omega behind the screen.

The message was sent… and disappeared without a reply.

She thought back to when she had turned off Su Wanqing’s alarm earlier. Judging by the time, Su Wanqing was probably already on the high-speed train by now.

Without realizing it, more than a month had passed since Chu Muqing’s return.

By now, most of the shareholders at Hengyang had noticed something strange.
The bolder ones even went straight to Gu Heng to demand an explanation.

Gu Heng was stuck in a tough spot.

If he admitted that he wasn’t the real person in charge, the board would immediately vote to kick him out—and then he’d lose everything.

He could only keep claiming it was all rumors.
But anyone who looked up the company records could see the truth clearly.

Day by day, Gu Heng became more and more anxious.

Just when he was about to collapse, Chu Muqing suddenly showed up—like a savior dropping from the sky.

The moment Gu Heng saw her, he even forgave her… for about one second.

Inside the huge conference room, when Chu Muqing walked in, all the shareholders exchanged shocked glances. Everyone’s expressions were complicated.

Chu Muqing ignored them all.

She walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

“I’m back,” she said casually, resting one hand lightly on the table.

With just one look and one sentence, she froze the entire room.

“You all know what kind of person I am,” Chu Muqing said lightly. “The company will continue to run as it should.”

Her voice was calm, but her meaning was crystal clear.
Everyone immediately straightened up, cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

They knew exactly what kind of person she was.
And that’s what scared them.

After Gu Heng had taken over, the company had stayed afloat, but the strict discipline was gone.
People were getting lazy.

Now, with just a few words, Chu Muqing had them all on edge again.

Chu Muqing casually pointed at Gu Heng.

“Uncle Gu supported my grandfather back then.
Now he’s sacrificed so much to help the Chu family through hard times.
That wasn’t easy.
As a thank-you, Uncle Gu will continue to manage the company.”

Standing there, Gu Heng listened to Chu Muqing spout complete nonsense.
But he couldn’t argue.
He could only swallow his anger and force himself to stay quiet.

Tears of frustration welled up and fell to the floor.

Chu Muqing glanced at him mid-speech, clicked her tongue, and said teasingly,
“Uncle Gu, no need to cry. You’re too emotional. This is just what the younger generation should do.”

The shareholders who had suspected Gu Heng of stealing power now started doubting themselves.

Maybe… maybe they had misunderstood him all along?

When the meeting ended, Chu Muqing flicked her sleeve and left.

She came fast and left faster—
As if nothing had changed, and yet everything had.

“South City really is different,” Ji Yu sighed as they stepped off the high-speed train.

Unlike North City, where the plants were already wilting, here the landscape was still green and full of life.

The air was thick with the scent of flowers.

Su Wanqing nodded. “It feels like autumn here is completely different from what we’re used to.”

“When should we start the fieldwork?” Ji Yu asked as she searched for hotel locations on Baidu Maps.

“Let’s take a day to rest first,” Su Wanqing said.

Her body wasn’t exactly unwell, but she did feel a little tired and a bit sore.

When they finally reached their hotel in the city center, Ji Yu let out a long sigh.
“If someone sold me in South City, they wouldn’t even need to leave the city limits.”

After getting off the car, they still had to walk almost half an hour.
If they hadn’t packed light, dragging their suitcase would’ve been a nightmare.

Su Wanqing had booked a twin room.
Once they got inside, she headed straight for the bathroom.
“Xiaoyu, I’m going to take a shower first.”

“Got it,” Ji Yu replied, starting to unpack their luggage.

About half an hour later, Su Wanqing came out, wrapped in a bath towel, sitting down to dry her hair.
Ji Yu called out to her, “Boss, your phone’s been lighting up the whole time. Did something happen?”

Su Wanqing wiped her hands and picked up her phone.
Just as she grabbed it, the screen lit up again.

Chu Muqing had sent her over a dozen messages.
During the long journey, Su Wanqing had completely forgotten to check.

She quickly replied:

[Just arrived at the hotel, with Xiaoyu.]

Almost immediately, Chu Muqing sent another message:

[Baby, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad at me, okay?]

[I’m not mad.]

[Then… can I come visit you?]

[No!]

If Chu Muqing came, even if they didn’t do anything, they’d have to stay together in the same room.
Where would that leave Ji Yu?
Besides, she was here for proper business, not to mess around.

[Okay… I’ll just stay home and wait for Baby to come back…]

Chu Muqing’s tone over text was completely different from how she acted in person.
Su Wanqing stared at the messages for a moment, a little stunned.
Was she being too harsh?

Before her heart could soften, Su Wanqing quickly shut off her phone.

After drying her hair, she climbed onto the bed by the window side, pulled the blanket over herself, and said,
“Xiaoyu, I’m going to nap for a while.”

Ji Yu pulled the curtains closed and quietly left the bedroom.
It was still just past noon, and she wasn’t tired at all.
She decided to use the time to plan their schedule.

Su Wanqing slept all the way until seven in the evening.

The two of them ordered takeout and ate in the hotel.
South City’s dishes were slightly different from North City’s, but Su Wanqing found them tasty enough.

The next day, they packed their things and headed to the largest shopping mall in the area—
to do what every Omega enjoys: shopping.

They first visited South City’s branded stores, checking out the styles and price ranges,
then went to the wholesale market to see the more affordable clothing options.

After running around the whole day, the two of them spent the evening summarizing their findings on a tablet.

The business trip went much more smoothly than expected.
What they thought would take a month was wrapped up in just half a month.

“Do you still want to keep shopping?” Su Wanqing asked.

“I don’t want to anymore,” Ji Yu said, flopping down like a deflated balloon.
“I’m craving North City barbecue so bad.
If I eat any more bland food, I’m going to join a monastery.”

“Then book tickets to go home,” Su Wanqing agreed.
She missed home too.

For half a month, she had been exchanging WeChat messages with Chu Muqing daily,
sometimes even video calling.
Chu Muqing had really behaved herself, staying home and waiting.

Su Wanqing wanted to surprise her, so she didn’t tell Chu Muqing they had booked early return tickets.

They booked a flight to get back faster.

When they landed, the two of them pushed their suitcases toward the exit.
Su Wanqing watched the crowd flowing toward the gates and suddenly felt nervous, wondering how Chu Muqing would react when she saw her.

Outside the terminal, there were people everywhere—families, lovers, and friends holding up signs and searching for familiar faces.

No one had come to pick them up.
They just quietly made their way out.

Suddenly, Su Wanqing stopped in her tracks.

In the crowd, she spotted Chu Muqing immediately—
standing there holding a large bouquet of roses, standing out like a beacon.

“Boss, I’m sorry, but I’m selling you out,” Ji Yu whispered, waving her phone.
“It’s hard to resist the temptation of money. She’s here to pick me up too. I’m leaving you to it!”

Su Wanqing didn’t even have time to argue with her.

She threw out her hand and ran straight toward Chu Muqing.

Chu Muqing stood firm, opening her arms to catch her.

“Missed me?” Chu Muqing asked, smiling.

“Mm,” Su Wanqing mumbled, burying her face against her shoulder, inhaling her familiar scent greedily.

“You’re just like a little puppy,” Chu Muqing said, chuckling and rubbing her hair affectionately.

Still holding her tightly, she tugged the suitcase behind them with one hand,
leading her toward the parking lot.

After the initial surprise and excitement wore off, Su Wanqing also realized it wasn’t appropriate to keep clinging and hugging in public, so she behaved herself.

“How was the business trip?” Chu Muqing asked.

“Pretty good,” Su Wanqing replied. “I should be able to finish the proposal today.”

Chu Muqing: “…”

What was she supposed to do with a wife so devoted to her career?

Su Wanqing had come back two weeks earlier than planned, and Chu Muqing had thought she might finally get to enjoy a nice meal together.
But instead, whether it was day or night, Su Wanqing kept working overtime—dragging it out for another full month.

It wasn’t until the fall project draft was finalized and the sample clothes were made that the overtime finally stopped.

This time, Su Wanqing had designed a set of edgier clothes.
Most Omegas didn’t want to be seen as delicate housewives anymore; they preferred cool, powerful styles.

She had designed four outfits—each of them perfect for Chu Muqing to model for the posters.

“Jiejie, can you handle it?” Su Wanqing asked with a playful smile.

“Tonight, just listen to me,” Chu Muqing replied with a smirk.

It was rare for Chu Muqing to catch such a good opportunity; she wasn’t going to waste it.

“Shameless!” Su Wanqing gave a very fair and accurate judgment.

“You made beautiful maternity clothes for your pretty sister,” Chu Muqing said, raising an eyebrow.
“And now when it’s my turn, you just throw a bunch of outfits at me like I’m in a wholesale market—and I can’t even bargain a little?”

Su Wanqing reluctantly agreed.

The price she paid?
She didn’t leave the bed for a whole week.

—

The poster photoshoot was scheduled not in North City but at a famous scenic spot in South City—Starry Tower.

Ji Yu insisted on tagging along, just to see Chu Muqing wearing those outfits.

At first, Chu Muqing wasn’t used to the photographer’s constant posing instructions.
Su Wanqing stayed behind the scenes, coaxing and encouraging her the entire time.

In the end, Chu Muqing finished the shoot with a cold expression—
which, surprisingly, fit the edgy style of the outfits perfectly.

No wonder she was an S-Class Alpha.
Just standing there, she managed to bring the designs to life effortlessly.

But somehow, someone leaked the photos.

By the time the shoot wrapped up, pictures of Chu Muqing were everywhere online—
and all the comments were exploding with admiration.

[This Alpha is way too handsome! Look at that gaze—oh my god!]

[I don’t even know what happened! One second I was scrolling, and the next, I was already putting on a wedding dress!]

[Where is this outfit from?! Why haven’t I seen it before? Is there a shopping link?]

[A lifetime’s worth of Chinese women asking for that shopping link!]

Thanks to the leaked photos, Chu Muqing shot up to two trending topics overnight.

Lanqing’s clothing line hadn’t even officially launched yet—
but the brand had already exploded in popularity.

Free trending topics?
Of course, they took full advantage.

Su Wanqing and the company’s PR team immediately released a teaser for the autumn collection.

Because the sudden burst of attention caught them off guard, Su Wanqing and the whole company had to scramble for a full day and night to get everything organized.

Meanwhile, Chu Muqing looked at the poster pictures with a frown, clearly unimpressed.

“You’re using my face,” she said, her tone serious, “and you’re only selling the clothes for this little money?”

“Hehehe,” Su Wanqing giggled.

Having made good money, she didn’t care what Chu Muqing said.

—

The autumn collection exploded in popularity.
Lanqing became a well-known brand almost overnight, quickly taking the number one spot in North City.
Su Wanqing, too, rose to fame as a top designer—her drafts were so sought after that it was nearly impossible to book her.

The following year, Su Ningxuan graduated from graduate school and immediately joined Hengyang, shining brightly in her own way.

Meanwhile, the Su family’s tea business kept growing steadily, even starting to take on overseas orders.

It felt like life had suddenly sped up eight times over—
everyone was working hard, striving toward their goals.

Except for two people who seemed especially relaxed.

—

On a distant island, Su Wanqing lounged lazily on a beach chair, a chilled drink placed beside her.

“Baby, do you want anything else?” Chu Muqing asked.

“I want coconut water,” Su Wanqing replied, stretching a little.

“Coming right up,” Chu Muqing said.

She returned carrying a freshly cracked coconut, a straw already stuck inside, and handed it over.

“I said I’d make up for the wedding you missed, and you insisted on a destination wedding instead,” Chu Muqing teased.
“Was your real goal just to boss me around?”

Su Wanqing pushed up her sunglasses and squinted at her with a playful smile.
“Jiejie, are you saying you’re unwilling?”

Chu Muqing half-knelt beside her lounge chair.
“Willing, very willing,” she said, laughing. “It’s just… today’s wages haven’t been paid yet.”

Su Wanqing sat up, wrapped her arms around Chu Muqing’s neck, and kissed her.

Under the golden sunlight, the ocean shimmered and sparkled.
Seagulls occasionally cried out as they flew overhead.

On the beach, the two of them walked hand in hand, their shadows stretching long and far behind them.

—The End—
