After the System Called Me Mom, My Arch-Nemesis Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 39

Jiang Mingyue suddenly felt Lu Lingzhi’s hand stretch over, her body leaning in close.

Is her pheromone instability acting up again?

Is she going to… do it with me in the car?

Jiang Mingyue’s heart skipped a beat. she glanced at the traffic light not far away, the pole was conspicuously hung with seven or eight high-definition cameras. If they were caught on camera, it would be a massive “social death” scene.

She steadied herself. The hand that had been resting on the gear shift quickly covered the back of Lu Lingzhi’s slightly cool hand. “Can it wait? Look at the time and where we are.”

The red light had ten seconds left.

Ten, nine, eight, seven…

Lu Lingzhi didn’t even look up, her mind was entirely focused on the failed suppressant patch. Her max-level OCD was flaring up again. She insisted on changing it. “You drive your car, I’ll do my thing. We won’t interfere with each other. Otherwise, I’ll feel uncomfortable.”

Jiang Mingyue: “…”

Is she really in that much of a hurry?

Seeing the countdown nearly over, Jiang Mingyue steeled herself. She jerked half her body around, grabbing Lu Lingzhi’s collar with one hand to pull her closer while cupping her cheek with the other, quickly imprinting a reassuring kiss on her forehead.

Instantly, it felt as if invisible pink bubbles were quietly drifting through the cabin.

“I, I’ll find a parking lot, okay?” Jiang Mingyue’s voice carried a hint of hoarseness and compromise. “Don’t be anxious.”

Lu Lingzhi was a bit stunned by her initiative. “…Huh?”

But she kept staring at that failed suppressant patch.

The intense gaze made Jiang Mingyue feel extremely self-conscious. She pressed Lu Lingzhi back into the passenger seat. The moment the red light turned green, she floored the accelerator, and the car shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Jiang Mingyue pressed a button on the console to recline the passenger seat. Forced to look at the patterns on the car roof, Lu Lingzhi’s brain still hadn’t quite caught up. “I am in a hurry.”

Her OCD was screaming.

When she saw a pimple, she had to pop it.

When she saw a suppressant patch lose its stickiness, she wanted to tear it off.

“Then wait. Wait until we reach the parking lot.”

Jiang Mingyue drove into a large shopping mall’s underground garage and found a quiet corner to park. She nimbly unbuckled her seatbelt and reached over to press Lu Lingzhi’s release button with a “click.”

She pointed to the spacious back seat. “Quickly, go to the back.”

“Why do I have to go to the back? We can do it here.” Lu Lingzhi was still out of the loop, looking bewildered.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Mingyue assumed the “Little Princess” was having her old habit of being too lazy to walk a few extra steps. She sighed inwardly. Fine, the passenger seat it is.

She pressed the button to adjust the passenger seat further back, creating more space.

Then, Jiang Mingyue opened the passenger door and leaned in without a word. She braced one knee against the edge of the seat, pinning Lu Lingzhi in place as she straddled the space between her legs.

Startled by the posture, Lu Lingzhi instinctively pressed against Jiang Mingyue’s shoulders to push her back a little. “You, you, what are you doing? Turn your body around first.”

Jiang Mingyue: “…”

Is she unable to hold back already? The little princess had a nosebleed earlier and doesn’t want to get too excited, I understand.

But I clearly don’t smell any pheromone leakage.

Despite her confusion, she complied obediently, turning slightly to expose her vulnerable nape to Lu Lingzhi. A pair of slightly cold hands settled on her skin.

Lu Lingzhi reached out, her fingertips sticking to the suppressant patch; the adhesive was gone.

But why was Jiang Mingyue trembling so much?

Back when Lu Lingzhi was an Omega, she often helped Jiang Mingyue apply these.

Does she think that just because I became an Alpha, I won’t be careful? Jokes. I do this at home all the time, don’t look down on me.

“I’ll be very gentle. I won’t hurt you. You have to trust my technique.” Lu Lingzhi first used her fingers to part Jiang Mingyue’s long hair.

Your technique isn’t all that.

Talking like you’re some experienced veteran.

Preparing herself for Lu Lingzhi to bite, Jiang Mingyue grabbed Lu Lingzhi’s hand on her shoulder and whispered, “Then be gentle, I’m afraid of pain.”

A corner of the patch was peeled back. The sound of the tearing made Jiang Mingyue clutch the hem of her clothes. A burst of tulip fragrance rushed out, finally free after being confined for so long, it turned into spiderwebs that bewitched Lu Lingzhi’s mind.

Her movements faltered for a moment, her breathing skipping a beat or two.

Forcibly suppressing the Alpha instinctual agitation toward Omega pheromones, Lu Lingzhi leaned in and blew a gentle breath onto the slightly reddened skin, providing a cool comfort. Looking at the marks she had bitten two days ago, Lu Lingzhi wiped her fingertips with a wet wipe and took a tube of ointment from her bag, slowly applying it.

The cooling sensation soothed the stinging pain from the peeling.

Lu Lingzhi took out a brand-new suppressant patch, reapplied it, and smoothed the edges.

“There, suppressants can’t exceed six hours, or the effect drops significantly.” It was only after finishing that she realized what had happened. Her cheeks instantly exploded in a deep red. “Wait… what did you just say about biting gently? Jiang Mingyue! What… what were you thinking? Can’t you just ask me a few more questions in the future?”

She was somewhat exasperated. “I’m an Alpha. If I want it, I’ll say so. I don’t need you to… to give hints like that.”

Only then did Jiang Mingyue realize she had completely misinterpreted the situation. She was so embarrassed that her entire face flushed crimson, the heat spreading even to her white neck. She wished she could turn into an ostrich and bury her head in the sand.

She tried to get up and flee the awkward scene, but her waist was suddenly tightened. Lu Lingzhi had clamped one hand firmly around her, making her unable to move. Jiang Mingyue’s face, turned to the side, looked exceptionally moving under the dim car lights with that blooming blush.

Lu Lingzhi: “Sit still.”

Jiang Mingyue’s voice was panicked. “You… you still want to…”

“I want you to sit for a while, so what? Afraid I’ll do something bad?” Lu Lingzhi wanted to tease this Omega. She rested her chin on Jiang Mingyue’s shoulder and idly picked up a strand of her falling hair, bringing it to her nose to sniff. “It’s a bit smelly. I don’t like smelly things.”

Jiang Mingyue pouted. No Omega wants to be told they are “smelly” by an Alpha.

Lu Lingzhi spoke tenderly, “You’ve been busy taking care of me lately, you haven’t even had time to take care of your hair, have you?”

Lu Lingzhi took a small bottle of hair oil from her bag. She squeezed a few drops into her palm and rubbed them warm. A serene, distant scent of white sandalwood slowly diffused in the cramped car, like a gentle hand quietly reaching into the Omega’s heart.

“This way, our beautiful Miss Jiang is back.”

Jiang Mingyue dazed for a moment, feeling the gentle strokes combing through her long hair. Her gaze fell on the soft crown of Lu Lingzhi’s head, her nose filled with the same scent of white sandalwood. “Then I want to do something bad to you.”

Just as the ambiguity was heating up and the atmosphere reached its peak.

Vibrate! Vibrate!

Lu Lingzhi looked up focused and asked, “What did you just say?”

“Nothing. Let’s go to the hospital.”

Lu Lingzhi saw a private message arrive on Douyin (TikTok).

AAA Chip King: Hello, can I meet you? AAA Chip King: [Head pat sticker]

A human patting a little deer’s head.

As expected, an old man who fell for my looks.

He had given over 100 “carnivals” (expensive gifts). She split it 50/50 with the platform. If this old man wanted to reclaim the money one day…

Wouldn’t I lose 500k? Old men are indeed old men, his schemes are even more numerous than mine.

Cutest Little Deer: Thank you for the gifts, AAA Chip King. My family is wealthy. I only streamed this time to help a friend clarify the facts. It wasn’t to get tips. Thank you for your support.

AAA Chip King: No need to return the money, let’s just be friends. We don’t have to meet, can I add you on WeChat? AAA Chip King: [Pitiful puppy eyes sticker]

A “little deer” wagging its tail at her.

AAA Chip King: I really like you, I really want to know you. I can buy you a little sika deer, or build you a zoo.

Speaking of sika deer and zoos…

She vaguely remembered that when she was very young, she had tugged on the Great Villain’s hem, crying for a zoo. The Great Villain thought it was too absurd and refused, but gave her a little sika deer instead. However, the deer died because it couldn’t adapt to the environment. And after that, she was sent back to the Lu family by the Great Villain.

Cutest Little Deer: You old geezer, you old pervert. Don’t think that giving me 1 million makes it okay to add me on WeChat. This is solicitation. I am someone who cannot be bought with money. Blehhhhh~~~ Annoy me again and I’ll report you for sexual harassment.

Lu Lingzhi one click refunded the 1 million yuan tip.

And blocked him.

Beijing General Hospital

The two of them registered at the Pheromone Department. The doctor used a pheromone concentration meter again.

Beep.

This time, the concentration jumped from 0.5 to 1.2, then to 2.4, and finally settled at 1.5.

This was a high-level Alpha.

• 0-0.5: Top-tier Alpha
• 0.6-1.5: S-class Alpha
• 1.6-3: A-class Alpha

It was clear her pheromones were unstable. Her upper limit was Top-tier, and her lower limit was A-class. This phenomenon rarely happened. The doctor looked at the records of Miss Lu’s initial differentiation.

He flipped through Lu Lingzhi’s files from her first differentiation, compared to now, his confusion deepened. “This is very strange. You were an A-class Omega during your first differentiation. The reports then showed your pheromone levels were very stable and your physical condition was excellent. What caused such violent instability after the secondary differentiation?”

The doctor looked up, his gaze sharp as he asked a key question: “Miss Lu, the Omega who performed a temporary mark on you before, what grade are they?”

Lu Lingzhi instinctively glanced at Jiang Mingyue beside her and replied in a low voice, “She is an A-class Omega.”

Theoretically, an A-class Omega can only soothe an A-class Alpha.

She could bear an S-class at the very most, but definitely not a Top-tier. Looking at the cool, abstinent Omega behind her, she looked radiant and healthier than Miss Lu.

“May I be so bold as to measure Miss Jiang’s pheromone concentration?”
