Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 35.1
What’s going on? Why did I suddenly enter my estrus cycle?
Song Yuan noticed her pheromones slowly leaking out, the crisp scent of winter snow permeating the air, causing Yu Jin to furrow her brows and breathe heavily.
Not good. If an Alpha enters estrus, their pheromones can trigger an Omega’s heat cycle.
Yu Jin is so proud even if she enters her heat, she’ll stubbornly endure it for a while, which isn’t good for her health!
Afraid of affecting Yu Jin and potentially pushing her into heat, even as she stumbled and fell to the ground, Song Yuan scooted half a step backward.
Yu Jin’s body stiffened, a flicker of surprise passing through her eyes before being immediately veiled by cool detachment.
Song Yuan had clearly released her pheromones, even stirring up some instability in Yu Jin’s own.
But why was she acting so avoidant? Did she really not have even a little bit of affection for her?
Feeling that something was off with her body, Yu Jin abruptly stood up and walked away without a word.
Song Yuan panicked. Had her accidentally released pheromones scared Yu Jin off?
“A-Jin, it’s not like that. I can control it, I won’t hurt you,” Song Yuan hurriedly explained.
But the more she tried to clarify, the worse it seemed: “No, I mean, if you need it, I could also—”
“Get lost.”
Yu Jin turned back, her dark pupils frosted over with coldness. Her icy expression made Song Yuan shrink back.
Song Yuan took a deep breath, feeling irritated. She packed up her drawing board, picked up Luoluo, and went inside.
The housekeeper had already left.
It was around two or three in the afternoon, a bit late for a nap, but Luoluo hadn’t had her midday rest yet. After playing for a while, her eyes were growing drowsy.
Rubbing her eyes, she still mumbled, “Mommy, Mama, Luoluo sleep together.”
Remembering how Yu Jin’s face had darkened earlier, and considering her own unstable pheromones, Song Yuan knew going to find Yu Jin was out of the question.
She coaxed Luoluo to sleep on the sofa and covered her with a blanket.
Leaning against the back of the sofa, she couldn’t understand why she had suddenly entered her estrus cycle, it shouldn’t have been for a few more days.
Normally, as an Alpha, her estrus only caused a bit of feverish discomfort and passed easily.
But this time…
It was actually quite unbearable. Her gaze kept drifting toward Yu Jin’s bedroom on the second floor.
Before she realized it, her feet had carried her involuntarily to the door of Yu Jin’s room on the second floor.
Holding her breath and listening intently, she heard no movement from inside after a long while.
Suddenly alarmed, she pushed the door open and entered. Yu Jin was in the midst of injecting herself with a suppressant.
Because of the feverish heat, she had loosened her collar, her chest rising and falling with shallow breaths.
Trying to suppress any sound, she bit down hard on her lower lip. Hearing the door open, she turned her head, her eyes hazy with desire.
“What are you doing?!”
A surge of inexplicable anger rose in Song Yuan’s chest. Striding over quickly, she knocked the syringe out of Yu Jin’s hand, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her up, roughly pulling her into an embrace.
The intense pheromones of Yu Jin’s heat flooded Song Yuan’s nostrils. Suppressing the rhythm of her pounding heart, Song Yuan said in a low, tense voice, “Dr. Chen said you can’t use suppressants anymore. And this suppressant doesn’t even work for you. I told you, if you need,”
“Get lost!”
Yu Jin struggled to push Song Yuan away and collapsed onto the edge of the bed. Her heat cycle had left her emotions raw and overflowing. “We’re only married by contract. I don’t need your hypocritical pity or compensation. I can handle this myself, Song Yuan. Get out!” she cried, her voice breaking.
Her eyes widened in shock.
Song Yuan had already sealed her lips with a kiss.
This time, Song Yuan was more intense than ever, her hand gripping Yu Jin’s head firmly, leaving her no room to move.
Yu Jin wanted to resist, but the pheromones inside her were completely thrown into chaos by Song Yuan. Entering her heat cycle, she felt an overwhelming desire.
Unable to hold back any longer, she let out a soft moan.
“Song Yuan, you bastard.”
Her body twisted involuntarily, and the already loosened collar of her shirt fell open completely, revealing pale skin that dazzled Song Yuan’s eyes.
Last time, Song Yuan had been clear-headed when she was affected, but this time, she had entered her sensitive period just before her own heat cycle.
And Yu Jin’s moan sounded like an invitation.
The increasingly potent pheromones filled the hotel room, the crisp scent of cold cedar igniting Song Yuan’s nerves and body like flames.
With Yu Jin still writhing, her legs occasionally tangling with Song Yuan’s, and her soft murmurs, Song Yuan’s eyes darkened completely with desire.
Driven by instinct and her own impending heat, she lost control, becoming even more fierce than before.
Low panting mingled with seductive moans, as if the shy clouds had veiled the sun.
Outside, a light rain began to fall, pattering softly, causing the hibiscus branches in the courtyard to tremble.
Song Yuan lost herself in the moment, unaware of how much time had passed.
When she awoke, she looked at the person in her arms. Though Yu Jin’s skin was naturally fair, it was now covered with even more kiss marks than last time.
Song Yuan pressed her red lips together and covered her peach-blossom eyes with her hand. “What do I do now? If Ah Jin wakes up, will she kill me?”
Yu Jin’s eyelashes fluttered, but she didn’t open her eyes.
Because the inhibitor hadn’t been fully administered, Yu Jin was half-lost in pleasure, half-aware.
She knew exactly, with perfect clarity, what Song Yuan had done to her.
Suddenly, she felt her body lift lightly. Was Song Yuan going to bathe her?
Yu Jin’s eyes snapped open. “Put me down.”
Her voice still carried a soft, seductive tone, making Song Yuan lose control once more as she leaned in for another kiss.
After the kiss, she froze in place.
Yu Jin stared at her with damp eyes for a long moment. Seeing that Song Yuan couldn’t utter a single word, she pushed her away, tumbling back onto the bed. She turned over, pulling the covers over herself.
Why was Song Yuan the one frozen when it was she who had suddenly entered her sensitive period, triggering Yu Jin’s heat cycle?
Song Yuan felt utterly flustered. She didn’t know why she had entered her sensitive period, but she couldn’t say that, it would sound so irresponsible.
“Don’t be angry. I know it was my sudden sensitive period that triggered your heat. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. Next time I’m in heat, I’ll stay far away from you. I’ll only come near if you need me!” Song Yuan stammered awkwardly.
This only made Yu Jin angrier.
Being needed by Song Yuan was something she had always secretly desired. If Song Yuan hadn’t lost her memory five years ago, perhaps they would have been together long before now.
Before this, she had actually always held a fondness for Song Yuan, but because both of them were Alphas, Yu Jin suppressed her feelings and settled for being good friends.
But now…
Just when she felt needed, Song Yuan had said such words, how insulting.
“Get out!”
Yu Jin’s voice was cold once again.
Her pride would not allow her to lower her head first.
Nor did she need Song Yuan to reluctantly stay with her out of guilt or a sense of responsibility.
She, Yu Jin, did not need that!
“Alright, I’ll go first. Calm down.”
Song Yuan put on her clothes and turned to leave. At the door, she glanced back at Yu Jin, her lips parting as if to say something, but no words came out.
The door closed. Yu Jin hugged her knees, staring blankly at the disheveled bed.
“Fool!” she murmured softly, “If I hadn’t been willing, I would have run away long ago. How could I have agreed to a contractual marriage?”
But she didn’t dare take the initiative, because Song Yuan was mostly driven by guilt right now. If she revealed her true feelings now, she would be looked down upon.
She lowered her head, burying her face in the blanket, unsure of what to do.
Song Yuan returned to her room, washed up, and went downstairs. Luoluo had just woken up and was sitting dazedly on the sofa. Though her eyes were still hazy from sleep, they couldn’t hide their innate clarity and brightness.
When she spotted Song Yuan, her eyes lit up: “Mommy, hug.”
Song Yuan hurried over and picked Luoluo up, but the little girl looked toward the second floor: “Mama…”
“Mama is sleeping, just like you.”
“Is Mama tired from playing too?”
“Ahem, yes probably.”
Tired from being played with.
Song Yuan regretted her actions. For dinner, she specifically asked Yu Jin’s manager, Gu Man, about Yu Jin’s preferences and prepared four dishes and a soup accordingly.
However, Yu Jin did not come downstairs.
Luoluo insisted on going to find her mama, saying she just wanted to see her, even if only for a moment.
Unable to refuse, Song Yuan carried Luoluo upstairs and gently knocked on Yu Jin’s door, not daring to speak.
“Mama, it’s dinnertime, Mama!” Luoluo said in her sweet, childish voice.
After a long silence, there was no response from inside.
Just as Song Yuan thought Yu Jin wouldn’t come out and was about to leave with Luoluo, the door creaked open.
Yu Jin’s raven-black hair, smooth as satin, cascaded on either side of her face. She had changed into a high-collared shirt, which conveniently covered the marks all over her body.
Without even glancing at Song Yuan, Yu Jin took Luoluo and turned to go downstairs.
Song Yuan pretended to follow for a few steps before returning to her room. Leaving the door slightly ajar, she watched Yu Jin go downstairs, then quickly slipped into Yu Jin’s room.
She searched through Yu Jin’s luggage thoroughly and, finding no extra suppressants, breathed a sigh of relief before stealthily returning to her own room.
Suppressants were too harmful to Omegas, and ordinary ones were ineffective on Yu Jin. Only enhanced suppressants worked for her now. Song Yuan was afraid Yu Jin might secretly inject herself with suppressants again.
But if she didn’t use them, she would have to come to Song Yuan again and again.
Song Yuan pinched the bridge of her nose, wondering if her approach was too despicable.
But…
After today, she suddenly realized that she had actually grown fond of Yu Jin’s scent.
Otherwise, how could she have entered her sensitive period just from Yu Jin’s unintentional teasing?
An Alpha affected by an Omega, how pathetic!
Pathetic or not, so be it.
Song Yuan went downstairs.
Because of what she had done to Yu Jin, she hadn’t dared to look the other woman in the eye.
But whenever Yu Jin raised her hand, Luoluo would immediately pass her the item, showing great awareness.
However, Yu Jin seemed restrained, not angry with Luoluo, but she didn’t give her much attention either.
They had just gotten married yesterday, moved in together today, posted a loving photo at noon, and by evening, their relationship had hit rock bottom.
This kind of calm was worse than a heated argument, Song Yuan thought.
In the evening, Luoluo still wanted to sleep with Song Yuan and Yu Jin.
But Yu Jin didn’t agree: “I moved some things today, and Mommy is a bit tired. Mommy wants to sleep alone.”
