How Could a Scumbag Alpha Possibly Love His Wife? - Chapter 57

Chang Le held Cheng Wan’s hand and could clearly feel how hot she was. Worried, she asked in a panic, “What’s going on? Why is your body burning up?”

Cheng Wan couldn’t speak. She clutched her chest and leaned over her desk in pain. People nearby quickly told Chang Le to call someone right away.

She hurriedly picked up the phone that had fallen to the floor, quickly found Bai Juntang’s number, and dialed.

At that moment, Bai Juntang had just arrived at her company. She was casually chatting with a few department managers and getting ready for the morning executive meeting when she heard her phone ringing from her pocket.

Seeing that it was Cheng Wan’s number, she answered right away. “Hello? Did you get to the office?”

“Is this Miss Bai?” Chang Le asked anxiously. “Something’s wrong. Wanwan… I think she’s gone into heat. Please come quickly!”

Bai Juntang’s eyes widened in shock. Cheng Wan had seemed completely fine when she dropped her off that morning. How could things go so wrong so fast?

“Stay calm,” Bai Juntang said as she grabbed her car keys and ran toward the elevator. “Have the Beta staff move her to an empty conference room. I’m nearby and will be there right away.”

After hanging up, Chang Le looked over at Cheng Wan worriedly. Most of the Alpha employees had already left the office because of the pheromones in the air. Only Beta employees, who couldn’t detect pheromones, remained.

The new general manager heard the alarm and rushed out of his office. As soon as he stepped outside, he was overwhelmed by the strong white peach scent. It hit him so hard that he had to lean against the wall, holding his head.

“Who is it?” he shouted. “Has anyone called an ambulance?”

Chang Le was already having others help carry Cheng Wan into an unused meeting room. She quickly told the general manager, “We’ve made the call. Someone is on the way.”

The new general manager knew who Cheng Wan was. He struggled to find Bai Juntang’s number on his phone, trying to call her again, but she wasn’t answering.

Less than five minutes later, someone pushed through the crowd gathered outside the meeting room. It was Bai Juntang.

She had clearly rushed over. Her usually neat hair was slightly messy. With just one look, she spotted the crowd outside the meeting room and knew Cheng Wan had to be inside.

The general manager walked over, still holding his nose, and asked, “President Bai, should we call an ambulance?”

Bai Juntang could smell the strong white peach pheromones as soon as she entered. Her expression darkened.

“I’ll take her home,” she said firmly. “Handle the rest here.”

Everyone stood aside as Bai Juntang entered the meeting room. The general manager didn’t dare follow. Just standing near the door had made his legs weak. He hurried to a corner and asked someone to open the windows for fresh air.

Inside the room, a few Beta staff remained. Cheng Wan was slumped over the table. Her face wasn’t clearly visible, but the air was thick with pheromones.

Even Bai Juntang felt slightly dizzy from the overwhelming scent. She steadied herself and walked toward Cheng Wan.

Chang Le had stayed beside her the whole time. When she saw Bai Juntang, she quickly got up and stammered, “Miss Bai… Wanwan, she…”

Bai Juntang moved closer. The scent was even stronger here than at the door. It hit her senses sharply, and she felt her temples throbbing, but she forced herself to stay calm.

“Cheng Wan.”

She sat down beside her and gently stroked her hair. Cheng Wan was leaning forward with her eyes shut tight, breathing heavily.

When she heard her name, Cheng Wan slowly opened her eyes. But the effects of the heat were too strong. Her vision was blurry, and she couldn’t see clearly.

She could barely make out the familiar voice. It sounded like Bai Juntang—her Alpha.

Seeing that she was responding, Bai Juntang pulled her into her arms and released her own pheromones to calm her. Her voice was soft and steady.

“I’m here. Don’t be scared. I’m taking you home, okay?”

The familiar scent helped Cheng Wan relax. Her face slowly regained some color. In Bai Juntang’s arms, her breathing began to settle, and she looked much better.

Even though Cheng Wan didn’t answer, Bai Juntang could tell she recognized her. She bent down and lifted her carefully, then turned to Chang Le.

“Please open the door for me.”

Chang Le snapped out of her daze and quickly led the way. As she helped Bai Juntang into the elevator, she looked at Cheng Wan’s pale face and closed eyes and asked, “Is she going to be okay? Are you sure she doesn’t need to go to the hospital?”

Bai Juntang, who was also affected by the pheromones, felt her whole body heating up. But she still answered, “It’s alright. I know how to take care of her.”

When the elevator opened, she didn’t stop for anything else. She carried Cheng Wan straight to the car.

In truth, going to the hospital or staying home didn’t make much of a difference. During one of their past checkups, the doctor had warned Bai Juntang about Cheng Wan’s sensitivity. When her heat arrived, all she needed was proper marking, just like before. The only difference now was that she was pregnant, so everything had to be done very gently.

Back then, Bai Juntang had just blushed when the doctor brought it up. Now, she felt thankful for that advice. Without it, she wouldn’t have known what to do.

After placing Cheng Wan in the car and making sure the doors and windows were closed, Bai Juntang checked on her again. She was still sweating, her forehead damp, and her body radiated intense heat even without being close.

Seeing her like this, Bai Juntang couldn’t help but be surprised. She hadn’t realized just how intense an Omega’s heat could be.

“Can you hear me, Cheng Wan?” she asked gently, brushing her fingers over her cheek and releasing a steady stream of pheromones. “I’m taking you home now. You’ll feel better once we’re there.”

Cheng Wan couldn’t hear what she was saying. All she could feel was a warm hand gently stroking her skin. Compared to her burning body, that touch felt cool and comforting.

“Hot…”

Cheng Wan opened her eyes, her pupils unfocused. She instinctively rubbed against Bai Juntang’s hand, seeking a bit of comfort.

The contact sent a rush of heat through Bai Juntang’s body, but she forced herself to stay calm. This wasn’t the time to linger. She could already feel her self-control wearing thin, and if they delayed any longer, she might not be able to drive safely.

With that thought, she switched on the car’s internal circulation, fastened Cheng Wan’s seatbelt, and quickly drove out of the underground parking lot.

The ten-minute drive felt endlessly long. Bai Juntang struggled to stay focused, her Omega beside her releasing waves of pheromones. She had to concentrate on the road, even though it felt unbearable.

Thankfully, their home wasn’t far. Bai Juntang pulled into the driveway and parked hastily. Then she carried Cheng Wan into the house.

Aunt Pei was at home, mopping the floor while watching TV. She jumped in surprise when the door was kicked open with a loud bang.

She turned to see Bai Juntang rushing in without even taking off her shoes, holding Cheng Wan tightly in her arms.

“Oh no, what happened?” Aunt Pei dropped the mop and stared, startled, as Bai Juntang walked straight toward Cheng Wan’s room without answering.

Something felt wrong. Aunt Pei blinked, staying frozen in place.

Out of breath, Bai Juntang turned and said, “Her heat has started. Aunt Pei, could you—”

“I understand,” Aunt Pei interrupted gently. “I’ll take the cat out for a walk and get it groomed. I’ll be back later this evening.”

Bai Juntang nodded, then carried Cheng Wan into the room. With one push of her foot, she closed the door behind them.

The woman in her arms was like a little furnace, burning hot. The heat was almost dizzying. Bai Juntang walked to the bed and carefully laid her down.

“Ugh…”

Cheng Wan let out a soft moan as she left Bai Juntang’s arms. Instinctively, she reached out, grabbed her shirt, and looked up at her without saying a word.

The room was now filled with Cheng Wan’s pheromones. Bai Juntang bent down, gently brushed her nose against Cheng Wan’s cheek, and whispered, “We’re home now. This is our home. Don’t be afraid.”

She stroked Cheng Wan’s flushed face, trying to soothe her. “I’m right here with you.”

“Bai… Juntang…” Cheng Wan whimpered softly, “I feel awful…”

Bai Juntang could tell how uncomfortable she was. She wanted to help her, to ease the heat, but now wasn’t the time to rush.

“Your heat has started,” Bai Juntang said gently, brushing the sweat from her forehead. “Once it passes, you’ll feel better. I’ll stay with you the whole time.”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and kissed her softly.

The kiss was tender and calming, like cool rain easing a thirst.

Cheng Wan tilted her head toward her, wrapping her arms around Bai Juntang’s neck and obediently opening her mouth, allowing the kiss to deepen without resistance.

Their pheromones swirled through the room. Cheng Wan clung to the scent of her Alpha, unable to think clearly. The only thing she could recognize was that it was Bai Juntang holding her, kissing her.

That was enough for her.

Delicate kisses moved down her neck and across her shoulder. Cheng Wan instinctively held her belly protectively. Her voice was soft and misty. “The baby… don’t press on it…”

Bai Juntang glanced at the curve of her belly and gave a small sigh. She gently rubbed her hand over the rounded bump, then leaned close to her ear and said, “Okay. I won’t touch it.”

Even before being born, the little one was already taking over. Bai Juntang could only imagine how much more spoiled the baby would be once it arrived. She could already picture Cheng Wan’s attention being completely taken by the child, possibly forgetting even her name.

That thought alone made her sulk a little.

Bai Juntang pursed her lips and then held the dazed Cheng Wan close, feeling the heat radiating from her skin. She kissed the corners of her eyes and reached up to touch the back of her neck.

Cheng Wan shuddered visibly. Then she laid her head against Bai Juntang’s shoulder.

The instinct was too strong. Bai Juntang nearly lost control. She wanted to mark her, to claim the woman who had been stirring up her desire from the moment she stepped into the room.

She wrapped her arms around Cheng Wan’s waist and gently lowered her onto the bed.

When her teeth finally broke the skin, Cheng Wan trembled from head to toe. The pain from her neck spread through her body, overwhelming her senses until she finally lost consciousness.
