Strategy to Tame My Dimwitted Older Sister A - Chapter 52 (END)
After the incident with Chu Nanqiao, Xu Qing and Chu Muqing arrived the same day to take her home. They immediately ordered the termination of all collaborations with the Ruan family. The school, recognizing the severity of the situation, swiftly expelled Ruan Manxiang and the two other alphas involved. An emergency school-wide disciplinary assembly was held, finally bringing the matter to a close.
In the following days, Chu Nanqiao remained at home due to her heat. Xu Qing initially wanted to give her suppressants, but Chu Nanqiao refused, murmuring incessantly that she wanted Bai Xia.
Unable to bear seeing their only daughter suffer, Xu Qing and Chu Muqing relented. The next day, they had Uncle Chen bring Bai Xia to the Chu residence.
This also marked the first formal meeting between Bai Xia and Chu Nanqiao’s parents.
But this matter concerned Chu Nanqiao’s future, so the two of them still needed to make things clear with Bai Xia.
“Qiaoqiao is our only daughter. I’m sure you understand that very well.”
Bai Xia understood all too well. She nodded solemnly, “I know.”
Xu Qing had never imagined Ruan Manxiang would do such a thing and regretted not noticing Chu Nanqiao’s emotional state earlier. If she had realized Ruan Manxiang’s ill intentions sooner, she would never have allowed her near Chu Nanqiao.
“Qiaoqiao said she doesn’t want any other alpha, she only wants you. Though I don’t know what happened between you two that made her so adamant, we’ve always respected her choices. Since she’s chosen you, we trust your character as well.”
“However, before this, we need to confirm your attitude and intentions. Can you promise to treat Qiaoqiao well for the rest of your life? No matter what happens, will you always cherish and dote on her?”
Having lived two lifetimes, Bai Xia now knew who truly loved her. If she hadn’t been so oblivious in her past life, they would have long been a happy couple.
In this life, she would never let go again.
“I love Qiaoqiao, and I know I can’t offer her any grand promises right now. But I can assure you both that I will strive to catch up to her and love her with everything I have forever.”
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment before leaning against Chu Muqing, as if steeling herself. Then, she gestured toward the upstairs and said, “Go ahead. Qiaoqiao is waiting for you up there.”
Bai Xia nodded and stood up. After taking a few steps, she turned back and said to Xu Qing and Chu Muqing, “Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, for your blessing.”
After bowing, Bai Xia headed upstairs.
She didn’t need to ask Xu Qing which room Chu Nanqiao was in. The moment she reached the top, an overwhelming wave of lemon pheromones enveloped her, as if pulling her toward the room while simultaneously teasing her senses, making her restless with desire.
Bai Xia’s entire body was instantly stirred by the pheromones, and a voice inside her roared, she wanted Chu Nanqiao.
Desperately.
She wanted Chu Nanqiao to melt into her very bones.
“Qiaoqiao.”
Bai Xia closed the door behind her and slowly approached the bed.
Chu Nanqiao was curled up under the blankets, her entire body burning from her heat. But it wasn’t just heat there was an intense, unbearable restlessness, making her breathing ragged.
She was in so much agony that tears streamed down uncontrollably, and her heart kept calling Bai Xia’s name.
Yet when she heard Bai Xia’s voice in the room, she could hardly believe it.
With great effort, she peeked out from under the covers and looked toward the source of the voice. Seeing Bai Xia standing right before her, her eyes reddened even more.
“X-Xiaxia!”
Chu Nanqiao pushed herself up with her hands, the straps of her nightgown slipping off her shoulders from the movement, revealing her fair collarbones.
Bai Xia’s throat instantly went dry. She swallowed hard but forced herself to suppress the primal urges surging through her.
“Are you feeling that bad?” Bai Xia sat on the edge of the bed and gently brushed the stray hairs from Chu Nanqiao’s forehead. “Your eyes are all swollen from crying.”
Chu Nanqiao threw herself into Bai Xia’s arms, clutching her hand and nuzzling her face against her desperately. “Xiaxia, I feel so awful. Please, mark me? My body, it really hurts.”
Bai Xia held her close, then whispered in a seductive voice by her ear, “Alright. But before that, Qiaoqiao, help me take off my clothes first, okay?”
Chu Nanqiao’s face flushed instantly. Slowly releasing Bai Xia, she lowered her head shyly and began unbuttoning her clothes.
Bai Xia gazed at her flushed face and smiled, thinking it would be a shame to let Chu Nanqiao off so easily. She leaned down, bringing her lips close to Chu Nanqiao’s ear, occasionally blowing warm breaths against it before lightly flicking her tongue over the delicate earlobe.
At this moment, Chu Nanqiao’s entire body was already in a heightened state of sensitivity. Provoked by Bai Xia’s teasing, she trembled uncontrollably.
“Don’t…”
“Don’t? You don’t like this?”
Chu Nanqiao lowered her head, not daring to meet her gaze. “I like it.”
Bai Xia gently took her earlobe between her teeth, giving it a soft nip before chuckling. “So you’re playing hard to get, huh?”
Chu Nanqiao didn’t argue, but she found Bai Xia utterly shameless clearly doing this on purpose. She lifted her head, wrapped her arms around Bai Xia’s neck, and fiercely captured her lips in a kiss.
Bai Xia wasn’t about to be outdone. Cradling the back of Chu Nanqiao’s head with one hand, she pressed her down onto the bed. Only when she’d had her fill of the kiss did she pull away, trailing her lips down the pale column of Chu Nanqiao’s neck until she reached the collarbone.
Meanwhile, her free hand roamed upward, eventually settling over the gland at the base of Chu Nanqiao’s neck.
The area was faintly feverish due to her special condition, and the heat radiating from it was almost scalding to the touch.
Overwhelmed by discomfort, Chu Nanqiao clutched at Bai Xia’s clothes, tears streaming down her face as she whimpered, “Xia-Xia, it h-hurts wuwuwu…”
The pain must have been unbearable, because soon Chu Nanqiao was crying pitifully, her entire body burning up as if she had a high fever. Her face was flushed, and she truly looked like someone in the throes of an intense fever.
The scent of her pheromones was as potent as if every lemon from an entire tree had been plucked and squeezed into juice rich and intense, yet not overpowering, instead carrying an oddly pleasant fragrance.
Unable to bear seeing her suffer any longer, Bai Xia turned Chu Nanqiao onto her side, gently patting her back until her tense body finally relaxed. Then, with careful precision, she sank her teeth into the gland.
The mingling of their two pheromones exploded in an instant, saturating the entire room.
Perhaps the marking process was too prolonged and painful, because Chu Nanqiao sobbed and cried until, unable to endure it any longer, she finally passed out.
Bai Xia tenderly stroked her scorching cheeks, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead before gathering her into her arms and whispering,
“I’m sorry for making you wait two lifetimes.”
“It’s all my fault, I never realized your feelings.”
“And thank you for still loving me in this life.”
