The Alpha’s Hidden Marriage, Public Obsession - Chapter 73

Lin Yulan had originally planned to fly back to China early the next morning, as there were still matters at the company waiting for her to handle. However, after learning that Jiang Xue was pregnant, Lin Yulan immediately canceled her return ticket and stayed in Melbourne to accompany her.

Of course, an Alpha couldn’t possibly live under the same roof with two Omegas even if Chu Yuan didn’t mind, it would still be highly inconvenient. So Lin Yulan simply rented a new apartment nearby and asked Jiang Xue to move in with her.

But Jiang Xue flatly refused the suggestion.

“Why won’t you live with me?” Lin Yulan protested vehemently.

“We’re in a foreign country, how could I let Chu Yuan live alone?!”

“Why not?! If you’re worried about her safety, I can hire a dozen bodyguards for her! They’ll stand guard at her dorm door day and night!”

Jiang Xue still refused: “No. Way!”

In truth, Jiang Xue had her reasons for not wanting to live with Lin Yulan.

Just last night.

Just as Lin Yulan had called Jiang Xue to say she’d rented a new apartment near the dorm and asked Jiang Xue to move in with her, Chu Yuan immediately stepped in to stop it.

“Xue, remember what I told you about playing hard to get?”

Jiang Xue nodded.

Chu Yuan said, “If you move in with her now, you’ll be all lovey-dovey every day. Alphas are all the same you have to hit them first before giving them candy. You can’t let her think you’re easy to win over. That’s the only way to keep her firmly in your grasp. Got it?”

Jiang Xue instantly understood and promptly rejected Lin Yulan’s cohabitation request.

Poor Little Lin still had no idea she’d lost both the battle and the war. What was supposed to be a bribe had now turned into a complete loss she’d been thoroughly backstabbed without even realizing it.

“A-Anyway, it’s just not happening!” Jiang Xue glared at Lin Yulan. “Got a problem with that?”

Lin Yulan didn’t dare object. After finally winning Jiang Xue back, if she screwed up again, she’d be doomed to a lonely old age. “N-No problem!”

But Lin Yulan hadn’t had a taste of her Omega in months, and the itch was unbearable. Now that Jiang Xue had agreed to come over, Lin Yulan pinned her against the wall the moment they got upstairs.

Jiang Xue was still holding the groceries she’d bought for dinner, and Lin Yulan’s sudden move made her drop them all. “My groceries…!”

“It’s fine, we’ll clean it up later.”

“If we clean it up later, they’ll go bad!”

Jiang Xue tried to bend down and pick them up, but Lin Yulan didn’t give her the chance. She scooped her up by the waist and carried her toward the bedroom.

“Lin Yulan, put me down!” Jiang Xue pounded Lin Yulan’s chest with her fists. “What are you doing in broad daylight?! Put me down right now!”

Lin Yulan had no intention of letting her go. She carried her into the bedroom, shut the door, and then carefully laid her on the bed.

Jiang Xue had already passed the dangerous phase of her pregnancy, and the doctor said moderate exercise was fine. On the way back from the checkup, Lin Yulan had barely been able to restrain herself, let alone now that they were home.

“Can I?”

Lin Yulan kissed Jiang Xue’s forehead, eyes, nose, and finally her soft lips. “Professor Jiang, can I?”

Jiang Xue’s ears were so red they seemed about to drip blood. She neither said yes nor no, merely tilting her head slightly to avoid Lin Yulan’s predatory gaze.

“Is Teacher Jiang silently agreeing?”

Jiang Xue remained silent. She couldn’t bring herself to take the initiative in such matters. Before, it had been because of her heat cycle her body had desperately craved an Alpha’s comfort. But now was different. She wasn’t in heat, her mind was clear, and she couldn’t completely let go.

Yet Lin Yulan seemed to have some kind of fixation, insisting on making her say it out loud. “Teacher Jiang, can I really do it?”

This was clearly asking a question she already knew the answer to just deliberately tormenting her!

“Teacher Jiang?”

In the end, Jiang Xue couldn’t take it anymore. She turned her head back, wrapped her arms around Lin Yulan’s neck, and roughly sealed the woman’s mouth with her own.

The corners of Lin Yulan’s lips curled up smugly as she cupped the back of Jiang Xue’s head, deepening the kiss.

Intermittent, muffled gasps filled the room as the two engaged in a passionate, lingering kiss. It wasn’t until Jiang Xue was breathless that Lin Yulan reluctantly let her go.

Jiang Xue’s eyes were misty with desire, the corners reddened, her lips still glistening with saliva from their fervent kiss, shimmering under the light.

Lin Yulan caressed Jiang Xue’s flushed cheeks before guiding her hand to rest on her own chest, whispering tenderly, “Teacher Jiang, could you help me take off my clothes?”

Jiang Xue’s already crimson face instantly burned even hotter.

She tried to pull her hand back, but Lin Yulan held it firmly in place. “No?”

Whenever Lin Yulan said things like this, she wore an innocent expression that made people want to slap her.

“Y-you can’t take it off yourself?!”

“But my hands are busy.”

“Busy with what?!”

“My hands say they want to stay close to Teacher Jiang, no time to undress.”

Jiang Xue: “…”

Still, Jiang Xue couldn’t withstand Lin Yulan’s teasing. Under the pressure of the woman’s domineering presence, she reluctantly began unbuttoning the shirt.

However, the moment she finished, Lin Yulan pulled her up from the bed and sat her directly on her lap.

“!!!” Jiang Xue cried out in embarrassment, “Lin Yulan, what are you doing?!”

Lin Yulan smirked like a sly old fox. “I want Teacher Jiang to take the lead.”

The first time they had been together, Jiang Xue had been so bold, so unrestrained Lin Yulan would never forget it.

“I can’t!”

Blushing furiously, Jiang Xue tried to get up and leave.

Lin Yulan immediately pulled her back, wrapping an arm around her waist and murmuring affectionately, “If Teacher Jiang doesn’t know how, I’ll teach you.”

Jiang Xue’s face burned hotter, as if about to bleed.

But with Lin Yulan’s rogue guidance, Jiang Xue quickly got the hang of it, bracing her hands on her waist as she began moving slowly above her.

(Several thousand words of horseback riding omitted here.)

Before long, exhausted, Jiang Xue collapsed into Lin Yulan’s arms, her hair damp with sweat, her Omega pheromones exuding a sweet, cloying scent.

Lin Yulan patted her back and chuckled. “Who knew Teacher Jiang was such a fast learner?”

Jiang Xue had been too tired to even speak, but upon hearing this, she reached out and gave Lin Yulan’s ample chest a firm squeeze.

Lin Yulan didn’t feel any pain in fact, she rather enjoyed it, because Jiang Xue wasn’t using much force at all. But as the saying goes, those who know how to act spoiled are blessed. Whether it hurt or not was beside the point; she just had to whimper a little, “Ouch, ouch, ouch!”

Jiang Xue knew Lin Yulan was faking it and switched to lightly punching her instead. “N-next time, you do it yourself.”

“Huh?”

“This is too exhausting.”

She wanted to be the one enjoying it from now on, not the one taking the initiative!

Lin Yulan asked, “Are you sure?”

Jiang Xue didn’t answer, lost in thought.

After a long pause, Lin Yulan thought she might have fallen asleep from exhaustion and was about to carry her to the bathroom for a wash when Jiang Xue suddenly sat up, staring straight at her with an intense gaze.

“W-what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?! Should I call a doctor?!”

Instead, Jiang Xue said, “Lin Yulan, give me a permanent mark.”

Lin Yulan froze for a moment before pulling her into a tight embrace, her voice nearly breaking as she replied, “Okay.”
