After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 11
Cheng Jianli sat somewhat awkwardly in Jiang Muyan’s family car. The interior was simple, yet every detail looked exorbitantly expensive. The black velvet carpet beneath her canvas shoes probably cost tens of thousands.
The driver in the front seat smiled and asked, “Young Miss, is this your friend?”
Jiang Muyan nodded happily. “Yeah, she’s our class’s academic officer.” Then she turned to Cheng Jianli and asked, “Is it cold in here? If it is, I can have the driver turn down the AC.”
Cheng Jianli replied, “It’s not cold.”
Jiang Muyan obediently said, “Oh,” but she couldn’t shake the feeling that Cheng Jianli was being too quiet. Barely two minutes passed before she asked again, “Um, Teacher Cheng, is there something you want to say?”
Cheng Jianli thought for a moment. “Probably not.”
For some reason, Jiang Muyan felt something was off.
Cheng Jianli’s expression hadn’t changed since they got in the car. In the past, Jiang Muyan had always been a little intimidated when Cheng Jianli was like this her wife did everything with the same unreadable expression, which was seriously ice-cold.
But things were different in bed. Cheng Jianli was always willing to go along with Jiang Muyan’s whims, doing whatever she asked.
Sometimes Jiang Muyan’s requests were downright perverted, like how she loved seeing Cheng Jianli wearing nothing but a white camisole, her hands slipping under the hem to roam and tease until Cheng Jianli flushed red in her arms.
Her wife was just too beautiful like that. Heh.
Jiang Muyan’s mind flooded with those kinds of thoughts, and she quickly shook her head, reminding herself that now wasn’t the time.
She nudged Cheng Jianli’s arm and asked worriedly, “Teacher Cheng, are you mad?”
Cheng Jianli: “Mad?”
Jiang Muyan: “Yeah, you look so cold. I mean, you’re usually pretty aloof, but this feels different.”
Cheng Jianli was silent for a while before finally saying, “I just don’t understand.” She turned, her long, thick lashes brushing against Jiang Muyan’s heart. “Why did you say that to that person earlier?”
That person?
Jiang Muyan froze. What that person? Did she mean that male alpha in the alley?
Wait—
A scene flashed through Jiang Muyan’s mind. She had done something big.
Back in the alley, in the heat of the moment, she had called Cheng Jianli her omega!
Before this, she had wanted to call Cheng Jianli wife, but Cheng Jianli wouldn’t let her, saying it counted as harassment if they hadn’t presented yet. But now, not only had she blurted out the word omega, she had outright claimed Cheng Jianli as hers!
Oh no.
Jiang Muyan hurried to explain, “No, I didn’t mean to! I was just so pissed at that guy!”
Cheng Jianli watched her silently.
Jiang Muyan swallowed hard. “You know how I can’t get too worked up, I lose control when I’m angry, so I just…”
Cheng Jianli frowned. “You really have a condition?”
“No!” Jiang Muyan covered her face and wailed, pouting. “I don’t! Believe me, I really don’t… Wait, that’s not the point! The point is, that guy made me so mad!”
Cheng Jianli was amused by Jiang Muyan’s dramatics. Truthfully, she just wanted to confirm whether Jiang Muyan knew about her presentation. From the looks of it, Jiang Muyan still had no idea she had already presented as an omega.
Cheng Jianli finally relaxed, but Jiang Muyan was nearly in tears, struggling to explain herself: “I really didn’t mean to, I don’t have any improper thoughts…”
Cheng Jianli deliberately kept a cold expression. “Is that so?”
Jiang Muyan: “Yes! I haven’t even presented yet! How could I have an omega? I just didn’t want that person to bully you…”
Cheng Jianli remained silent. After a while, Jiang Muyan cautiously asked, “Is this serious?”
Cheng Jianli had already moved on, but since Jiang Muyan kept asking, she casually replied, “Very serious.”
Panicked, Jiang Muyan immediately grabbed the driver’s seat in front. “Brother, how many years do you get for publicly claiming someone as your omega?”
The driver: “…”
Getting no response, she turned back to Cheng Jianli with a pitiful expression. “Will I still be able to go to school after getting out of juvenile detention?”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
She really wanted to see what was going on inside that head of hers.
When they arrived home, Jiang Muyan was still worried about possibly going to juvenile detention until Cheng Jianli, finally annoyed, said, “I won’t sue you, okay? Relax.”
Legal action aside, even if she had claimed her, it wouldn’t have mattered.
“You really won’t sue me?” Jiang Muyan asked anxiously.
Cheng Jianli: “No.”
“Teacher Cheng, you’re the best!” Jiang Muyan instantly brightened up. Her appearance was distinctly different from Cheng Jianli’s while Cheng carried an elegant, cool beauty, Jiang Muyan had an innocent purity about her. Being around someone like her never felt exhausting or uncomfortable.
“Is that so?” Cheng Jianli walked to the desk and smiled faintly. “Come do some problems. I’ll check your math paper in 100 minutes.”
Jiang Muyan: “…”
The two worked on their homework side by side. Cheng Jianli was focused when solving problems, her head lowered, the high-collared shirt under her uniform still covering her fair nape.
Jiang Muyan, however, lost concentration quickly. She slumped over the test paper, staring blankly at the permutation and combination problem.
Wait! Wasn’t her mission today to figure out the relationship between her wife and Gu Xi? How had she forgotten about that?!
Jiang Muyan stole glances at Cheng Jianli’s delicate profile while trying to figure out how to bring it up.
A few minutes later, Cheng Jianli couldn’t take it anymore and turned to her. “How much longer are you going to stare?”
Jiang Muyan blinked. “Huh?”
“You’ve been looking at me for five minutes,” Cheng Jianli frowned. “Your focus is really lacking.”
“No way, I was focusing very hard on looking at you,” Jiang Muyan replied earnestly.
Cheng Jianli: “…”
“I meant your focus on studying is lacking,” Cheng Jianli set down her pen. “You’re wasting both our time.”
“Sorry,” Jiang Muyan apologized sheepishly.
Cheng Jianli: “Just ask whatever you want to ask. Get it over with so it doesn’t interfere with study time.”
Jiang Muyan: “How did you know I had something to ask?”
“You’ve been staring at me for five minutes,” Cheng Jianli said flatly. “My face can’t be that interesting.”
Jiang Muyan blushed. “Teacher Cheng, you’re really too modest.”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
“Ask quickly,” Cheng Jianli glanced at the wall clock. “Try to keep it under ten minutes.”
Jiang Muyan looked somewhat bashful as she scratched her head. “Teacher Cheng, what’s your relationship with Gu Xi?”
Cheng Jianli paused, seemingly surprised this name had come up again. “As I’ve said before, we’re friends.”
“How did you two meet?”
“At a calligraphy competition. I helped fix her bicycle,” Cheng Jianli replied. “Anything else?”
Jiang Muyan pressed on nervously, “Are you two particularly close?”
Cheng Jianli thought for a moment. “We get along fine.”
“Getting along fine” meant “close” in Jiang Muyan’s book, and she grew anxious. “Then compared to me?”
Cheng Jianli frowned. “In what sense? Academically, you’re worse. She scored 72 in math; you got 43.”
Jiang Muyan’s competitive spirit flared instantly. “What?! I’m worse than her?”
Seeing her agitation, Cheng Jianli worried about potential outbursts and softened her tone. “…Well, neither of you passed, so it’s six of one and half a dozen of the other.”
“That’s because I didn’t study properly! If I put my mind to it, no one could beat me!” Jiang Muyan stood up abruptly. The original owner of this body was just like her terrible at studies but hearing her wife say someone else was better was unbearable.
“Is that so?” Cheng Jianli said. “Then what score are you aiming for in the upcoming monthly exam?”
Jiang Muyan hesitated. “Teacher Cheng… do you like people who are good at studying?”
Cheng Jianli frowned slightly before answering after a long pause, “I don’t know.”
Jiang Muyan’s face fell. “Why are you so hard to figure out? Can’t you just set a standard?”
Cheng Jianli: “…”
