After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 76

Cheng Jianli let out a soft “Mm,” her ears instantly turning red at the tips as she seemed to sense Jiang Muyan’s touch.

The faint glow of light seeped through the cracks, barely illuminating Jiang Muyan’s hand resting atop hers the curve of it fair and flawless, her slender fingers fitting perfectly into the hollow of Cheng Jianli’s palm.

Snowflakes drifted down outside, while crimson plum blossoms stood proud against the cold.

The stifling, enclosed air was thick with the cloying sweetness of mango, its fragrance lingering between them in secret.

Jiang Muyan instinctively pushed upward slightly, causing the snow-like fabric to ripple before her eyes, the red plum blossoms seeming to vie for dominance against the chill.

This was bad.

The sensation so overwhelming that it felt impossible to grasp with just one hand was impossible to ignore.

Would Cheng Jianli scold her for this later?

Outside, a maid called out, “Someone, lend a hand move the chair aside.”

The sound of wood dragging against carpet followed, the high-quality material meeting the plush floor with a muffled thud.

Another maid chimed in, “The carpet’s been replaced. Just wipe down the floor-to-ceiling windows now.”

With that, two maids stayed behind to clean the glass while the others carried away the old carpet, vacuum, mop, and feather duster.

The door slowly closed, leaving fewer people in the room.

Yet the scent of pheromones inside the wardrobe remained just as potent. Cheng Jianli, in the throes of her heat, wasn’t fully lucid, but she could still feel Jiang Muyan’s delicate fingers idly tracing patterns against her skin.

The rose-like pheromones were intense and passionate even without instinct driving her, Cheng Jianli adored Jiang Muyan’s scent.

After all, rose was an exceptionally rare pheromone type. Most people presented as betas, and even among those who differentiated into omegas or alphas, common fruit-based scents were the norm.

But Jiang Muyan was different. Her powerful aura drew omegas to her irresistibly.

Cheng Jianli gazed at her with hazy eyes, her body burning from the heat, her lashes fluttering, her cheeks flushed an unnatural pink.

If only this person could give her a temporary mark.

The feverish haze clouding her mind made the thought slip through.

Ever since presenting as an omega, she had never once considered being marked by anyone, she had always assumed she would rely solely on suppressants.

Cheng Jianli loved studying, loved solving problems, but Jiang Muyan’s arrival had disrupted her quiet life with one unexpected event after another.

The most unforeseeable of all was Jiang Muyan differentiating into an alpha, one whose compatibility with her reached an astonishing 99%.

Just a whiff of her scent was like tasting the sweetest candy in the world.

They had been trapped in this sweltering space for too long, both teetering on the edge. The gland at the back of Cheng Jianli’s neck swelled further, the rose pheromones coursing through her like an electric current, setting every nerve ending alight.

If she didn’t get suppressants soon, she would really.

“Jiang Muyan,” Cheng Jianli murmured weakly, her mango-sweet pheromones curling through the air like a soft breeze over water. “I need suppressants.”

Jiang Muyan wanted nothing more than to get them for her, but they had already missed their best chance to slip out unnoticed.

Now that Cheng Jianli was in heat, letting others see her like this was out of the question.

“Be good, Professor Cheng,” Jiang Muyan soothed. “Can you hold on a little longer?”

Hold on?

For an omega, this was no different from a challenge match.

Cheng Jianli was truly suffering, every second was pure torment.

She hadn’t drunk any alcohol, yet her neck flushed with a drunken hue.

In the end, she broke her own principles.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Jianli tried to steady herself. “Jiang Muyan, if there’s no suppressant would you be willing to give me a temporary mark?”

Jiang Muyan blinked. “Huh?” After a few seconds of stunned silence, she finally processed the question. “You mean, bite your scent gland?”

Cheng Jianli’s voice was unexpectedly hoarse and soft. “Mm.”

It wasn’t as if Jiang Muyan had never considered it before. Back in the school restroom, when Cheng Jianli had accidentally gone into heat, she had bitten the gland on the back of her neck.

But back then, Jiang Muyan hadn’t even presented yet it hadn’t mattered how she bit her. Now, though, things were different.

She was a full-fledged alpha.

Lowering her voice, Jiang Muyan asked, “You… want me to mark you?”

Cheng Jianli: “…”

“Could you listen properly?” Though her face was flushed from the heat, her tone remained composed. “A temporary mark.”

Jiang Muyan knew what a temporary mark was.

It just meant lightly biting Cheng Jianli’s nape and injecting a bit of pheromones the mark would fade in a few days.

Yet, Jiang Muyan hesitated. “Is this something we can just do casually?”

Cheng Jianli: “?”

“You don’t want to?”

Jiang Muyan licked her lips, her gaze flickering with barely restrained eagerness. Still, she said, “It’s not that I don’t want to, but wouldn’t this be unfair to you?”

Cheng Jianli: “…”

“Thank you,” she replied flatly, her fingers burning. “It’s not unfair at all.”

Jiang Muyan sighed. “But it’s unfair to me.”

Cheng Jianli: “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Jiang Muyan fidgeted. “I just wanted to ask if this temporary mark would have any side effects for you. Like making you crave my mark all the time afterward, or affecting your studies?”

Cheng Jianli stared. “That’s what you’re worried about?”

Jiang Muyan grinned sheepishly. “I don’t want to interfere with your study schedule.”

“It won’t,” Cheng Jianli said. “A temporary mark only lasts a few days.”

Jiang Muyan let out a disappointed “Oh.” “So I’m just a temporary tool, huh?”

Cheng Jianli: “…”

“If you really can’t do it, just open the closet door. It’s all women out there anyway, I don’t mind.”

Jiang Muyan’s eyes widened. “No way!”

As she spoke, her hand squeezed the soft curve beneath it again.

Cheng Jianli frowned. “Enough.” She placed her hand over Jiang Muyan’s, exasperated. “Do you really like this spot that much?”

Their hands overlapped, pale against pale. Jiang Muyan’s heart raced as she admitted shyly, “I do.”

Cheng Jianli tilted her head. “Anyone’s?”

“Of course not!” Jiang Muyan laughed goofily. “Only yours.”

After a brief pause, Cheng Jianli suddenly leaned in, her breath brushing Jiang Muyan’s ear as she whispered, “If you give me a temporary mark now. I’ll let you touch it all night.”

Jiang Muyan’s pupils dilated instantly. She swallowed hard. “R-Really?”

Cheng Jianli’s eyes were breathtakingly beautiful, her long lashes like delicate butterfly wings. “Mm.”

Without hesitation, Jiang Muyan flipped Cheng Jianli around. The closet door thudded softly.

Cheng Jianli winced. “Be careful,” she murmured.

Jiang Muyan was too excited and agitated. As she leaned in towards Cheng Jianli’s nape, she suddenly heard voices from outside,

“Did you hear something just now?”

“I think so,” another maid replied. “Could there be mice in the young mistress’s room?”

“Impossible,” the maid’s footsteps drew closer. “It’s probably from under the bed. Has the young mistress stuffed too many things underneath?”

With that, the two began cleaning under Jiang Muyan’s bed.

Jiang Muyan’s nerves were on edge, but fortunately, the maids couldn’t distinguish whether the sound came from the wardrobe or under the bed. She let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Gently brushing aside Cheng Jianli’s hair, she saw the delicate gland, swollen and filled with rich pheromones.

She reached out and touched it, certain this was the spot to bite.

But she couldn’t let Cheng Jianli feel too much pain.

Jiang Muyan first pressed light kisses to the back of Cheng Jianli’s neck. Yet this series of tender kisses only made the pheromones around Cheng Jianli grow even more intense and sweet.

Unable to see Jiang Muyan’s face, Cheng Jianli slipped back into a dazed state, her dark hair disheveled. The alpha’s pheromones melted her bones, and she urged softly, “Hurry up.”

From this angle, Jiang Muyan could see the other’s fair profile, delicate earlobes, and unusually flushed lips.

My wife is so beautiful.

Jiang Muyan also grew hazy. Without further hesitation, she instinctively parted her lips and gently sank her sharp canines into the gland on Cheng Jianli’s nape.

In an instant, rose-scented pheromones flooded in, enveloping the entire gland like warm winter sunlight bathing everything in its glow.

Cheng Jianli let out a soft “Mm,” her eyes glazed over as her body relaxed completely, immediately falling into a deep slumber.

Some time later, after the maids had left, the wardrobe door in Jiang Muyan’s room creaked open again.

Jiang Muyan gasped for fresh air, she had been trapped in that cramped space for so long she could barely breathe.

She picked up the sleeping Cheng Jianli and tucked her into the soft bedding.

The gland on Cheng Jianli’s nape had subsided, replaced by a deep red mark stark against her snow-white skin.

This mark would fade in a few days, and Jiang Muyan could smell her own pheromones all over Cheng Jianli’s body a strong, rosy fragrance.

A temporary alpha mark would safely see her through the heat cycle. Now, all Cheng Jianli needed was rest.

Gazing at Cheng Jianli’s peaceful sleeping face, Jiang Muyan scratched her head before quietly leaving the room.

Downstairs, Uncle Liu spotted Jiang Muyan and looked puzzled. “Young mistress, weren’t you in the kitchen?”

Jiang Muyan replied, “I just came up.”

Uncle Liu was easily fooled. Worried, he added, “Have you seen Teacher Cheng? The maids said she’s not in her room. With such heavy rain outside, she couldn’t have gone home, could she?”

Jiang Muyan descended the stairs. “Teacher Cheng is here, Uncle Liu. Don’t worry about it,” she deflected. “By the way, I’d like some chicken soup. Could you tell the kitchen to prepare extra bowls tonight?”

Uncle Liu nodded. “Of course, I’ll go right away.”

Watching Uncle Liu’s retreating figure, Jiang Muyan relaxed before dashing up to the fifth-floor laundry room.

Cheng Jianli had nothing to wear now, she needed to quickly find some dried clothes.

It was a rainy day, and damp clothes took forever to dry. After searching for a long time, Jiang Muyan could only find a light blue camisole and a pair of lace-patterned panties.

Whatever, she’d wear what she could find.

Jiang Muyan quickly grabbed the clothes and ran back to the room. Cheng Jianli was still sound asleep under the covers, looking like she wouldn’t wake up until evening.

While playing the Great Compassion Mantra on her phone, Jiang Muyan helped her get dressed, then yawned and went to the desk to do her homework.

Why was she so exhausted after marking an omega?! And even then, she still couldn’t escape homework!

Cheng Jianli had left her plenty of practice tests to finish tonight.

Outside, the heavy rain had finally eased into a light drizzle. By the time night truly fell, it was already nine o’clock, Jiang Muyan had fallen asleep at her desk.
