From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 72
Xiao Yanjin cleared her throat, revealing a blissful smile before the microphone.
“Everyone, I, Xiao Yanjin, never had any dreams. Since childhood, all I did was eat and sleep, and I never liked anyone. But after meeting Sister Nuo, I finally understood the meaning of my life… She cherishes me, loves me, and pities me. Who wouldn’t love such an Omega? I do! I love her so, so much! I’d give my life for her.” Xiao Yanjin rambled on recklessly, relying on her natural eloquence. Soon, some people began to believe her words, and a few were even moved to tears.
Shi Zhengyi, He Rou, and Jiang Nan, however, were dumbfounded. They had thought Xiao Yanjin was shameless, but never this shameless! What normal person could say such things out loud? Unless she was a complete love-struck fool.
Shi Zhengyi grimaced. “Honestly, if she weren’t my best friend, I might’ve wanted to punch her!”
Clap.
Clap.
The sound of applause broke the silence.
Ji Yunuo looked at Xiao Yanjin, her hands lightly clapping.
Xiao Yanjin met her gaze, her eyes filled with nothing but her reflection.
Others joined in the applause.
Wei Qin clapped as well, as if resigned to fate.
Soon, the entire room erupted in applause.
The resounding claps echoed throughout the hotel.
Two engagement rings were brought forward by the attendants.
Xiao Yanjin picked up the sparkling diamond ring and slid it onto Ji Yunuo’s slender middle finger.
“I was hesitant before, wondering when would be the right time to marry you. But during that sports meet, when I passed you the baton, it felt like I was slipping a ring onto your finger like an unstoppable sense of duty.” Xiao Yanjin spoke softly, her gaze unbearably tender. “Sister Nuo… No matter when, I want to marry you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.”
Ji Yunuo, who had never been one to be swayed by love, felt her eyes grow moist.
She rarely cried or rather, she never had.
But because of Xiao Yanjin, she had shed tears again and again.
When she misunderstood Xiao Yanjin’s relationship with He Rou, she had buried herself under the covers, agonizing over it, yet still unable to make sense of it.
Even then, she had stubbornly held back her tears.
But this time, she couldn’t stop them.
Ji Yunuo took the other ring and slid it onto Xiao Yanjin’s finger, her voice gentle. “Silly, as long as I’m with you, I’ll marry you whenever you want.”
“I love you.” Xiao Yanjin, who had just been battling wits with words, now found herself speechless. Only these three words came out clear and audible.
“I love you too.”
Xiao Yanjin bit her red lip. She had always known how blissful it was to be loved by her sister. Overcome with emotion, she suddenly pulled Ji Yunuo into a tight embrace, refusing to let go.
“Everyone, there’s one more thing I’d like to share.” Wei Qin, always sentimental, was moved to see her daughter cry. Gradually, she began to feel that accepting Xiao Yanjin might not be so bad after all. So she decided to announce Ji Yunuo’s pregnancy to the crowd.
“Actually, none of you here know yet, but within this very hall, there’s another life. ”
Ji Yunuo and Xiao Yanjin’s eyes widened in shock, instantly realizing what Wei Qin was about to say.
“Yunuo’s belly!”
“Wait!” Xiao Yanjin immediately cut her off. Their pheromones were still incompatible, making pregnancy difficult. If Wei Qin revealed this now, the whole world would know Ji Yunuo was pregnant.
If her belly didn’t swell up, both Ji Yunuo and the Ji family would become laughingstocks!
“What’s wrong?” Wei Qin looked at her suspiciously.
“Sister Nuo accidentally got her stomach bumped. I need to take her to apply some ointment,” Xiao Yanjin casually fabricated an excuse.
Wei Qin, Ji Zhiye, Xiao Liangmu, and Liang Zhi were all startled and hurried over to ask about her stomach.
Shi Zhengyi and the others marveled at how close this family was just a minor stomach bump and everyone showed such concern.
Ji Yunuo found it difficult to explain, but if she didn’t, Wei Qin would surely inform everyone.
“I’m fine, but there’s something I need to tell you all.”
In the backstage area, they pleaded with Ji Yunuo to explain.
Reluctantly, Ji Yunuo confessed that she wasn’t actually pregnant.
“Oh, so you’re not pregnant.” Wei Qin’s expression was unnaturally calm upon hearing this.
Xiao Yanjin didn’t dare look at her, only listening as Ji Yunuo continued.
“I’m sorry. I lied to make it easier for you all to accept.”
Someone sighed, and suddenly Wei Qin fainted. Ji Zhiye immediately caught her, calling out worriedly, “Honey, are you okay?!”
“I’m fine,” Wei Qin said, her joy nowhere to be seen, her eyes sharp as knives. “Do I look okay? I was looking forward to my granddaughter’s arrival, and now there’s no pregnancy!!”
Xiao Liangmu snorted. “No pregnancy means no pregnancy. It’s not like she’ll never be pregnant.”
“Easy for you to say! I still blame your daughter for sleeping with mine!” Wei Qin snapped back. “I didn’t raise my daughter just to have her ruined by some pig.”
Xiao Liangmu refused to back down. “My Yanjin is also a fine cabbage, good-looking, aside from her poor education, scandals, and shamelessness. She’s hardly a pig.”
Xiao Yanjin didn’t know whether to laugh or not, feeling like her mother was subtly insulting her.
“You all deceived and bullied me. Did you really think I’d take it lying down?” Wei Qin sniffled, leaning against her wife as tears streamed down her face.
Ji Yunuo couldn’t bear it. “Mom, don’t cry. It’s my fault.”
“Nono, of course it’s not your fault. It’s mine for being too overbearing and not communicating properly, letting you get tricked by that alpha.”
Xiao Yanjin suddenly spoke up guiltily. “Actually, I’m at fault too.”
“Of course you are, and yours is the bigger fault!” Wei Qin glared at her.
Xiao Yanjin sucked in a breath, this mother-in-law!
“Xiao Yanjin!” Wei Qin suddenly shouted at her again.
Xiao Yanjin froze.
“Let me make this crystal clear, if Nuo isn’t pregnant, I won’t let you two get married!”
Xiao Yanjin: “…”
“Um…” Ji Zhiye pointed out a flaw. “Qinqin, if you don’t let them sleep together, how are they supposed to… you know?”
Xiao Yanjin burst out laughing her mother-in-law really knew how to get to the point.
Wei Qin frowned and glared at her. “Of course I know that! Ugh, this wedding is such a headache. Do whatever you want, I’m done with it!”
“Thank you for your blessing, Mother-in-law.” Xiao Yanjin smirked inwardly. Finally, she wouldn’t have to sneak into her sister’s bed anymore!
That night.
Xiao Yanjin happily moved into Ji Yunuo’s room.
Ji Yunuo’s room always carried a faint, exquisite fragrance, just like the woman herself.
Her bed was soft and fragrant, and the moment Xiao Yanjin lay down, she felt as if she had entered a gentle haven, ready to drift off to sleep.
“Comfortable?” Ji Yunuo had specifically changed to a new mattress, perfect for their activities, no loud creaking.
Xiao Yanjin pulled her close, inhaling the scent of her hair as her fingers trailed through the silken strands, leaving behind a faint trace of rose.
She couldn’t help but sigh.
Ji Yunuo paused. “What’s wrong? Did that Jiang woman say something to upset you?”
“No. So many people have cursed at me, have I ever gotten angry at any of them?” Xiao Yanjin blinked at her, a mischievous glint in her eyes, as if she didn’t care about consequences.
“Then what’s bothering you?”
Xiao Yanjin lowered her head and kissed the corner of her lips.
“I just feel, ” She choked on her words, then flipped Ji Yunuo over and quickly stripped off her clothes.
What she didn’t say was I just feel so lucky to have met you in this unfamiliar world.
Xiao Yanjin watched as Ji Yunuo furrowed her brows from both pain and pleasure, then leaned down to bite her neck.
“Mmm…” Ji Yunuo’s eyes fluttered open, gazing at the flickering light outside the window before she suddenly fell asleep.
When she woke in the morning, Xiao Yanjin wasn’t sure if it was excitement that had jolted her awake, but it was the first time she had woken to find her sister sleeping peacefully in her arms, filling her heart with warmth.
The beautiful Omega was still resting soundly, but the fiery Alpha within her burned relentlessly, wanting to gaze at her with unrestrained desire.
Xiao Yanjin gently laid Ji Yunuo flat on the bed, studying her carefully.
But she had just woken up, her arms still weak, and she couldn’t support herself, collapsing right on top of Ji Yunuo.
Without even blinking, Ji Yunuo said, “What’s this little perverted Alpha sneaking a peek at?”
Xiao Yanjin laughed awkwardly. “Did I hurt you?”
She pulled back the covers, revealing Ji Yunuo’s body covered in the marks she had left the night before shocking, like plum blossoms scattered across soft, white snow.
A sudden chill ran through her, but the heat in Xiao Yanjin’s gaze made her shiver.
Ji Yunuo bit her red lips. “What are you staring at?”
Xiao Yanjin nuzzled against her, unable to suppress the grin on her lips.
A beauty especially a cold, proud one, wearing such an irresistibly shy expression would drive any Alpha wild.
Xiao Yanjin was no exception.
“Sister, the weather’s so nice today. Shouldn’t we do it again?”
Ji Yunuo’s wrists were already pinned by the Alpha. Frowning, she thought, again?
Hadn’t they already done it more than once last night?!
Afterward, Ji Yunuo leaned against the Alpha’s chest, grumbling, “You said just once.”
Xiao Yanjin wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead. “Sister, you actually believed an Alpha’s words?”
Ji Yunuo huffed in dissatisfaction and gave her a light pinch.
Xiao Yanjin hissed, so cruel! Looks like she needed another “punishment.”
The phone on the bedside table rang just as Xiao Yanjin was busy “punishing” Ji Yunuo, completely ignoring the sound until Ji Yunuo gasped out, “Answer it. It might be important.”
Reluctantly, Xiao Yanjin kept one arm wrapped around her wife while picking up the phone. “Yeah?”
Jiang Nan’s voice came through. “A-Jin, I thought a lot last night couldn’t sleep at all.”
Xiao Yanjin: “…”
“So what exactly did you think about?”
“I realized… I’ve fallen for Sister Yuanning.”
Ji Yunuo leaned against Xiao Yanjin’s embrace, absentmindedly tracing circles on her body while listening to Jiang Nan’s voice, her heart skipping a beat.
So Jiang Nan only realized now that she had feelings for Yuan Ning.
Xiao Yanjin: “You silly Alpha, only figuring out now that you like Sister Yuan Ning?! What were you doing all this time?!”
Jiang Nan chuckled sheepishly: “I thought my feelings for Sister Yuan Ning were just sisterly affection. But ever since seeing her again at your engagement party her voice still not healed yet she smiled like spring breeze my heart ached with tenderness. I couldn’t stop thinking about her all night, and just now I finally understood, what I feel for her is love.”
Xiao Yanjin: “Sister Yuan Ning should still be in Lancheng. Go pursue her!”
Jiang Nan blushed: “But I don’t know how to court her.”
With your qualities, what Omega would refuse? Besides, Xiao Yanjin wasn’t foolish, she knew Lan Yuanning treated Jiang Nan well too, always adding two poached eggs to her noodles. It’s just this dense Alpha only realized her feelings now.
“Don’t force it. Yuan Ning likes quiet Alphas buy her favorite gifts, chat with her…” Ji Yunuo paused, remembering Yuan Ning’s voice condition, and sighed. “Just be gentle with her.”
“Oh, okay. Thank you.” Jiang Nan expressed gratitude. “Is that the captain’s voice?”
“Yep. Any problem with wives sleeping together?” Xiao Yanjin hung up and grinned at Ji Yunuo. “No problem, right?”
Ji Yunuo glared. “I heard you and Shi Zhengyi often bully Jiang Nan?”
“What?!” Xiao Yanjin looked wronged. “When did that happen?”
“He Rou said once when she visited your dorm, the three of you were piled on the couch with Jiang Nan at the bottom, and Shi Zhengyi even spanked her.”
Xiao Yanjin: “……” That was just a game!
Damn that He Rou!
Speaking of which, how were Shi Zhengyi and He Rou doing? Xiao Yanjin wondered briefly before completely losing herself in her wife’s beauty.
