After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 30.1

Jiang Muyan guessed wrong and looked annoyed, “You really don’t have a tattoo?”

“High school students aren’t allowed to get them, so I don’t,” Cheng Jianli draped her jacket over the chair. She was wearing a light gray high-necked blouse today, her slender neck and delicate back accentuating her tall, graceful figure. Just looking at her, Jiang Muyan couldn’t help but think how beautiful Cheng Jianli was.

Jiang Muyan asked, “Would you ever want to get one in the future?”

“Probably not,” Cheng Jianli replied. “I prefer my natural skin.”

Jiang Muyan thought for a moment, then hesitantly asked, “But what if someone you loved wanted you to get one?”

Cheng Jianli frowned, “Someone I loved?”

Jiang Muyan nodded, “Yeah.”

After a brief pause, Cheng Jianli answered, “If they liked it, I might consider it.”

Since they weren’t in a relationship now, Jiang Muyan immediately felt sour at the thought of her future wife getting a tattoo for someone who didn’t even exist yet. “Teacher Cheng, that’s so indecisive of you.”

Cheng Jianli was puzzled, “Why?”

Jiang Muyan’s emotions were always written on her face, and she looked visibly upset. “You just said you prefer your natural skin, but if someone asked, you’d do it anyway. That’s disrespectful to yourself and your skin.”

Cheng Jianli fell silent for a moment before countering, “Then what about you? If someone you loved asked you to do something, would you refuse?”

Jiang Muyan blurted out, “Of course I’d do it! I’d definitely do it for her!”

Cheng Jianli calmly replied, “Then there’s no difference.”

Unable to argue further, Jiang Muyan sulked for a while before asking again, “Teacher Cheng, are you really planning to get a tattoo?”

“…I already said high school students can’t. But under your hypothetical condition, if my partner wanted it, I’d consider it.” Cheng Jianli continued, “Maybe it’s because I’ve never been in love, so my understanding is limited to observations. If someone did a lot for me, I’d be willing to make changes for them too.”

“After all, a relationship involves two people. If you don’t like someone, don’t be with them. But once you’re together, you should take it seriously.”

Jiang Muyan was stunned by these words. She had never known Cheng Jianli thought about such things. In the original novel, Cheng Jianli had been cold and reserved, rarely speaking of “love.” On their wedding night, it had been Jiang Muyan who promised to love and protect Cheng Jianli forever, even spinning her around a hundred times in her arms.

She had said marrying Cheng Jianli was the greatest happiness of her life.

And Cheng Jianli back then? She had simply kissed Jiang Muyan without a word.

Suddenly, Jiang Muyan realized, she had no idea how Cheng Jianli truly felt about her! Damn it!

No, since she had transmigrated into this novel, she was determined to uncover these secrets one by one.

Jiang Muyan asked, “Teacher Cheng, what kind of person do you like?”

“Hmm?” Cheng Jianli had waited in silence for so long that she had started reading again. Now, hearing the question, she raised her brows slightly, her long lashes fluttering in confusion.

Cheng Jianli lowered her gaze: “I don’t know. If I had to say, I like simple people.”

Damn!

It really was Cheng Jianli!

Hearing these words, Jiang Muyan’s pupils trembled violently before her expression transformed into one of sheer delight and excitement.

Because she remembered, when someone once asked Cheng Jianli why she liked Jiang Muyan, Cheng Jianli had simply replied, “I like simple people.”

Jiang Muyan immediately pressed further: “What do you mean by simple people?”

Cheng Jianli said, “Innocent and kind.”

Jiang Muyan froze: “That’s it?”

Cheng Jianli set down her pen: “Do you think those two things are easy to achieve?”

Jiang Muyan confidently replied, “Super easy! Anyone can do it without even trying.”

Cheng Jianli shook her head: “I don’t think so. Those two words may sound light, but actually embodying them is incredibly difficult. Some people appear innocent and kind on the surface, but their hearts are filthy, they’d abandon their spouses and children for petty gains. When faced with benefits, those with weak convictions succumb to temptation, casting everything aside, including their partners.”

Cheng Jianli continued, “So if possible, I’d want my partner to be a truly simple person. But such people are rare, it’s all about fate.”

Listening in a daze, Jiang Muyan suddenly felt the word “simple” had taken on a sacred quality.

So her wife had been praising her all along!

Jiang Muyan was instantly overjoyed, her face burning red as she struggled to form words.

Seeing her reaction, Cheng Jianli couldn’t help but smile slightly: “What’s wrong? You didn’t think I liked you, did you?”

Jiang Muyan: “???!!!”

Jiang Muyan immediately grew nervous, fidgeting with her hands as she asked excitedly, “Really, Teacher Cheng?!”

“No,” Cheng Jianli turned away mercilessly, “You’re no longer innoce-nt.”

Cheng Jianli said, “You’re an idiot.”

Jiang Muyan: “???”

Jiang Muyan remained sullen throughout dinner.

Not because Cheng Jianli called her an idiot, but because of that blunt “No.”

What did “No” mean? It meant she didn’t like her!

Jiang Muyan felt like she’d been acting like a clown this whole time.

Uncle Liu noticed and asked, “Young Miss, are you still feeling unwell?”

“No,” Jiang Muyan replied flatly.

Uncle Liu said, “Let me get you some soup. The kitchen prepared crab soup for you and Teacher Cheng today, it’s quite good.”

Jiang Muyan didn’t want soup but still said, “Thank you, Uncle Liu.”

Noticing Jiang Muyan’s mood, Cheng Jianli quietly asked while Uncle Liu was getting the soup, “Why are you upset?”

Jiang Muyan’s expression was terrible: “Who said that? I’m perfectly happy.”

Cheng Jianli: “…Could’ve fooled me.”

“You’re not upset because I called you an idiot, are you?” Cheng Jianli asked.

Jiang Muyan replied sarcastically, “Of course not. You’re absolutely right, I am stupid. That’s why my test scores are so terrible.”

Cheng Jianli: “…”

She hadn’t realized Jiang Muyan would take it so seriously.

Cheng Jianli said softly, “That’s not what I meant.”

Her wife spoke to her softly, and no matter how upset Jiang Muyan was, she couldn’t stay angry. But right now, she couldn’t speak her cold had worsened, and suddenly, her nose itched terribly. She turned her head and let out a heavy sneeze.

When she turned back, her tear ducts, intensely irritated by the cold, betrayed her. Tears welled up uncontrollably, streaming down her snow-white cheeks.

Cheng Jianli, witnessing this: “……?”

“You’re crying?” Cheng Jianli couldn’t believe it.

Damn it!

She wasn’t crying! She absolutely wasn’t crying!

It was all because of this stupid cold!

Jiang Muyan wanted to say she wasn’t crying, but her tear ducts refused to obey, only letting the tears flow even more.

Cheng Jianli said sincerely, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have called you dumb.”

Jiang Muyan replied, “No… wait, I’m not crying!”

Cheng Jianli looked at her cheeks in confusion. “Then what’s this?”

“It’s the food, it’s too spicy.” Not wanting to admit her cold wasn’t fully gone, Jiang Muyan grabbed a tissue and wiped her tears away.

Cheng Jianli glanced down and saw a plate of spicy fish head with chopped peppers in front of Jiang Muyan, generously topped with scallions and chili peppers.

Credibility increased.

Cheng Jianli sighed in relief and said gently, “I really thought you were crying.”

Jiang Muyan laughed awkwardly. “Hahaha, how could I? I’m tough.”

“Mm,” Cheng Jianli nodded. “Then don’t eat the fish. Have something lighter.” She picked up some tender greens and placed them in Jiang Muyan’s bowl. “Later, when Uncle Liu brings the soup, drink some of that too.”

Jiang Muyan was immediately moved. “Teacher Cheng, you’re so gentle with me.”

Cheng Jianli replied, “It’s only right. And even if you weren’t crying, I wanted to explain what happened earlier.”

Jiang Muyan: “?”

Cheng Jianli continued, “I actually think you’re very smart when it comes to studying not dumb at all.”

Jiang Muyan couldn’t handle praise from Cheng Jianli; it always made her instantly happy and proud. “Really?”

“Of course,” Cheng Jianli said. “What I said earlier was just teasing you. This month’s exams will prove it, I think you’ll surprise yourself with your results.”

Hearing this, Jiang Muyan perked up completely. She eagerly served Cheng Jianli some food. “Teacher Cheng, you should eat more too. You’re too thin, you need more meat to be as energetic and full of power as me!”

Cheng Jianli looked at the braised chicken leg Jiang Muyan had placed in her bowl and smiled faintly. “Mm.”

“Later, there’ll be dessert. What do you like? I’ll ask Uncle Liu to get it for you.”

Cheng Jianli hadn’t expected a single sentence to restore Jiang Muyan to her usual cheerful and optimistic self. She couldn’t help but smile in relief.

Jiang Muyan really was the simplest person in the world.

Being with someone like her hardly ever felt tiring, only joyful and happy.

After dinner, the two returned to their room, Jiang Muyan’s mood already lifted at the table.

Cheng Jianli usually allowed her a ten-minute break at this time. As Jiang Muyan lay on the sofa, it suddenly struck her, wait, hadn’t they been talking about Cheng Jianli giving her a reward? How had they gotten so sidetracked?!

Cheng Jianli had promised her a reward after the exams. She couldn’t let her forget about it.

With that in mind, Jiang Muyan called out, “Teacher Cheng…”
