The Alpha’s Hidden Marriage, Public Obsession - Chapter 69

Jiang Xue attempted to kick Lin Yulan, but before her foot could even reach midair, Lin Yulan firmly caught it.

A bad premonition flashed through her mind, and she instinctively tried to pull her foot back but it was too late. The next second, she watched in horror as that pervert Lin Yulan brought her ankle to his mouth and lightly bit down on it.

Goosebumps erupted all over Jiang Xue’s body. She struggled desperately to yank her foot free, but the harder she fought, the tighter Lin Yulan’s grip became. He even bit down harder this time, and Jiang Xue could distinctly feel the scrape of his canine teeth against her skin. It wasn’t exactly painful more like an electric current shooting from her ankle straight to her brain.

“Lin Yulan!” Jiang Xue finally couldn’t take it anymore and roared, her brows furrowed in anger. “You damn pervert, let go of me!”

Lin Yulan gave her ankle another gentle bite, admiring the teeth marks he left behind before finally releasing her foot. Then, leaning in close, he murmured, “Does Teacher Jiang not like it?”

Jiang Xue pressed her lips together tightly, refusing to answer, and glared at him fiercely.

If she had to say, she neither liked nor disliked it. But the most important thing was she hadn’t forgiven Lin Yulan yet. She couldn’t let him get too full of himself so soon. Otherwise, what was the point of all the suffering she’d endured before?

“No answer means you like it.”

The more Jiang Xue looked at him, the more she felt the urge to punch this bastard. Seizing the moment while Lin Yulan was relaxed, she swiftly lifted her foot and kicked him hard sending him tumbling off the bed.

Thud!

Lin Yulan landed unceremoniously on his backside, the pain bringing involuntary tears to his eyes.

“Serves you right!” Jiang Xue spat.

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Lin Yulan climbed back up and glanced at the congee on the table, if they didn’t eat it soon, it would go completely cold.

With a resigned sigh, he turned to leave the room.

Jiang Xue, surprised that he was actually leaving, called out in disbelief, “Wait, where are you going?”

“Oh? Does Teacher Jiang not want me to leave?”

“Of course not! Don’t flatter yourself, Young Master Lin!”

Lin Yulan tilted his head. “Then what does Teacher Jiang want?”

Jiang Xue huffed. “That’s my question, what are you going out for?”

Was he planning to come up with some other twisted method to indulge his perverted instincts?

Understanding her implication, Lin Yulan’s expression dimmed slightly, but he answered honestly, “If I stay in this room any longer, will Teacher Jiang spend the whole day hiding under the covers? Though, if Teacher Jiang doesn’t mind me admiring her lovely spring scenery from the sidelines, I’d be more than happy to oblige.”

Jiang Xue’s face burned instantly. She grabbed another pillow and hurled it at him. “Admire your ass! Get the hell out, you damn pervert!”

Lin Yulan caught the pillow effortlessly and muttered under his breath, “What’s left to see that I haven’t already?”

Though he spoke quietly, the room no, the entire villa was dead silent. With only the two of them inside, even the sound of a pin dropping would be audible. There was no way Jiang Xue could miss his words.

In an instant, every indecent memory from the past seven days flooded her mind. Jiang Xue wished she could vanish into the ground right then and there.

She glanced at the bed both pillows had already been thrown to the floor. With nothing else left to hurl, she could only shout, “Lin Yulan, you pervert, get out!”

Before leaving, Lin Yulan deliberately let her gaze linger on Jiang Xue, then remarked with a rogue-like smirk, “I always thought Professor Jiang was flat as a board, but turns out she’s got quite the figure. Nice texture, too.”

Jiang Xue quickly wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and shot Lin Yulan a glare sharp enough to flay skin. “Lin Yulan, you disgusting pervert, I’ll gouge your eyes out! Get lost!”

Moments later, the sound of Lin Yulan’s wild, triumphant laughter echoed from outside the door.

After a while, Jiang Xue finally got dressed.

She had originally planned to storm downstairs and settle the score with that perverted scoundrel Lin Yulan, but as soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, her stomach growled incessantly. Adhering to the principle that one should never starve themselves, Jiang Xue turned back, finished the congee Lin Yulan had ordered for her, then marched downstairs with gritted teeth.

Lin Yulan was lounging on the living room sofa, a laptop in her lap and Bluetooth earbuds in place, seemingly in the middle of a conversation. At the sound of footsteps descending, she immediately snapped the laptop shut.

Then, Jiang Xue noticed that the perverted bastard was shamelessly eyeing her again with that roguish gaze.

“What are you looking at?!” Jiang Xue yanked desperately at the hem of her shirt, trying to pull it down.

Lin Yulan pondered for a moment before replying, “Honestly, I prefer Professor Jiang with nothing on at all.”

Jiang Xue: “…”

The Omega’s skin was pale, almost glowing, and marked with suggestive traces from her neck and collarbone all the way down to her thighs and ankles. The white shirt she wore only accentuated her curves, hinting at a tantalizing silhouette that invited endless, illicit fantasies.

Lin Yulan swallowed hard, a smug thought flashing through her mind: This person belongs to me. This sight is mine alone, no one else gets to see it.

Jiang Xue shuddered under the scrutiny, goosebumps rising all over. But this time, without a blanket to hide under and wearing nothing but Lin Yulan’s oversized shirt, she had nowhere to escape.

“Lin Yulan, where the hell are you looking?!”

Snapped out of her daze by the shout, Lin Yulan finally averted her gaze. “I had my assistant buy you some clothes. They’ll be here soon just wait a bit.”

Jiang Xue froze. For some reason, her brain short-circuited at that moment, and before she could think, she blurted out, “You bought me clothes? Do you even know my size?”

The second the words left her mouth, she regretted them.

Lin Yulan didn’t just know no, there wasn’t a single inch of her body whose measurements Lin Yulan wasn’t intimately familiar with.

The next moment, she heard Lin Yulan’s teasing chuckle. “Is there any part of Professor Jiang I haven’t seen?”

Aaaahhh!

Why did I have to ask such a stupid question?!

After internally screaming at herself, Jiang Xue spotted a few pillows on the sofa. She dashed over, grabbed two, and without hesitation, hurled them straight at Lin Yulan’s head.

“You shameless pervert, shut your mouth!”

Lin Yulan laughed while pleading for mercy, “Professor Jiang, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have said I saw all of you naked. I should have said Professor Jiang has a great figure, no matter what size you buy, it’ll fit you perfectly!”

Jiang Xue kept hitting him.

But there were only four pillows on the sofa. After Jiang Xue threw them all, they all ended up on Lin Yulan’s side. Yet, letting him off so easily was unacceptable to her. In a fit of frustration, she dashed over to his side, grabbed a pillow, and started hitting him again.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yulan reached out and caught Jiang Xue, pulling her forcefully toward him. Before she knew it, she tumbled straight into his arms.

“!!!!!!”

“So, Professor Jiang likes throwing herself into my arms, huh?”

Jiang Xue struggled free and punched him in the chest. “Throw myself into your arms, my ass! Your whole family likes throwing themselves at people!”

No sooner had she spoken than the sound of a car engine came from outside.

Realizing her disheveled state was far from presentable, Jiang Xue quickly got up from Lin Yulan and hurried toward the stairs.

Lin Yulan grabbed her arm. “No need to hide. I’ll have her wait outside, she won’t come in.”

Jiang Xue stopped in her tracks. She turned around just in time to see Lin Yulan walk outside. Within minutes, he returned carrying several designer shopping bags filled with clothes.

“Go change. Pick whichever one you like best.” He paused, then amended, “Or keep them all if you like everything.”

Jiang Xue said nothing, took the clothes, and headed upstairs.

She was quite familiar with high-end fashion brands, and the items Lin Yulan had bought were clearly VIP-exclusive styles and designs she adored.

Still, she wasn’t about to thank this bastard. After being tormented for seven days, this was the least she deserved!

Choosing her favorite outfit, Jiang Xue changed quickly.

Once dressed, it suddenly struck her she had vanished for seven days without notifying the school. Skipping classes for so long without leave would surely get her fired.

But surprisingly, that wasn’t the case.

Perplexed, Jiang Xue called Chu Yuan.

“Sweetheart, you’re finally back!” Chu Yuan exclaimed. “Do you have any idea how worried I was? I almost called the police!”

Jiang Xue had no intention of discussing what had happened those days and cut straight to the point. “About my absence, what did the school say? Did the administration mention anything?”

Chu Yuan replied, “When you didn’t come back that night and didn’t answer my calls or texts, I thought something terrible had happened. I was about to report you missing, but then in the middle of the night, I got a call from your woman. That’s when I relaxed and didn’t call the police. Don’t worry, she already took care of your leave with the school. You won’t get fired.”

Jiang Xue sighed in relief but immediately retorted, “What do you mean, ‘my woman’? She’s not my woman!”

“Well, isn’t she the same as your woman?”

“…”

Jiang Xue had no interest in pursuing that topic and swiftly changed the subject. “What about the Melbourne project? What’s the school’s stance now?”

After what Xia Yin had done to her, surely she wouldn’t interfere with the project anymore.

Chu Yuan said, “Oh, you’re asking about that? The leadership has already set the schedule for the project. After you return, we’ll be heading to Melbourne next week.”

“So soon?”

“Huh? Soon? Darling, that’s not what you told me last time!”

Jiang Xue fell silent.

What happened before was then, and now is now. People’s feelings always change a little.

“If you can’t bear to leave your partner, just tell the leadership you won’t go. Given your woman’s status and position, would the school leadership dare to force you?”

“I told you, she’s not my. Never mind, forget it.”

Chu Yuan asked, “So, are you still going?”

Jiang Xue thought for a moment, then made up her mind. “I’m going.”
