The Movie Queen's Beloved Crybaby Alpha - Chapter 62

The clingy big cat clung to her, nuzzling affectionately.

How could Ning Yunshu resist this? If not for considering Ye Qinglan’s exhaustion, she would have pinned her down right then and there to claim her.

She could only kiss Ye Qinglan’s cheek and say, “Sister, go rest, okay?”

“No.” Ye Qinglan pressed even closer as she spoke.

Those glistening eyes were enough to make one’s heart tremble.

As if steeling herself, Ye Qinglan gazed at Ning Yunshu and said, “Ning Yunshu, I have tomorrow off. What about you?”

Ning Yunshu, who no longer needed to go to the office daily, nodded almost instinctively. “I’m free too.”

Hearing this, Ye Qinglan rose slightly on her toes and pressed a kiss to Ning Yunshu’s lips.

“Then, mark me.”

Ning Yunshu’s eyes widened in shock, but Ye Qinglan gave her no time to think. Thick rose pheromones emanated from the gland at the nape of her neck, overwhelming the Alpha’s rationality.

“Si-Sister?” Ning Yunshu’s body grew restless, but she struggled to restrain herself.

Yet the arms encircling Ye Qinglan’s waist refused to let go, unwilling to push her away.

“Ning Yunshu, I’m in my heat cycle these days,” Ye Qinglan murmured against her lips, her voice dreamy.

Rationality crumbled under the assault of pheromones, and Ning Yunshu felt herself going mad.

Her breathing grew ragged, the arms around Ye Qinglan’s waist tightening. With great difficulty, she parted her lips.

“Sister, are you absolutely sure about this?”

Ye Qinglan didn’t answer. Instead, her tongue slipped into Ning Yunshu’s mouth, initiating a heated dance.

The last thread of reason snapped. In one swift motion, Ning Yunshu lifted Ye Qinglan into her arms, their lips still locked as she carried her toward the master bedroom.

They tumbled onto the soft bed together. Propping herself up, Ning Yunshu looked down at Ye Qinglan her face flushed, eyes hazy, lips slightly parted to reveal pearly teeth and a pink tongue.

Heat surged from Ning Yunshu’s chest, but before she could speak, Ye Qinglan pulled her down by the back of her head, pressing her face against her neck. With a tilt of her head, Ye Qinglan fully exposed her gland.

The intoxicating rose fragrance made Ning Yunshu dizzy. A single lick drew tremors from the woman beneath her.

“Ning Yunshu, Xiao Shu!” Ye Qinglan whimpered by her ear, her voice thick with need.

“Sister!” Ning Yunshu held her tighter, nuzzling her skin before whispering, “If it hurts, hold onto me.”

Then she sank her teeth into the gland. The rich rose aroma exploded like a pheromone bomb, mingling with the sweetness of milk candy to fill the room.

Ye Qinglan’s body tensed instantly, her fingers digging into Ning Yunshu’s back, crumpling the designer shirt.

Her dazed eyes fixed on the ceiling as she chanted breathlessly, “Xiao Shu!”

After a night of passion, Ye Qinglan awoke sore and limp.

Instinctively, she curled into Ning Yunshu’s embrace.

Without even opening her eyes, Ning Yunshu pulled her close.

Satisfied, Ye Qinglan nuzzled against her before drifting back to sleep.

The two lingered in each other’s embrace for quite some time until noon, when Ye Qinglan finally felt too hungry to ignore and gently nudged Ning Yunshu beside her.

“Xiao Shu, I’m hungry.”

Ning Yunshu had already opened her eyes, her gaze seemingly unable to tear itself away from Ye Qinglan’s face. Only upon hearing her lover’s complaint did she reluctantly plant a kiss on Ye Qinglan’s brow before getting up. She slipped into a bathrobe, then gathered their scattered clothes from the floor, sorting them into the laundry basket.

“I’ll make lunch. You rest a while longer, jiejie.”

“Alright.”

Ye Qinglan responded before snuggling deeper into the blankets. Watching her adorable behavior, Ning Yunshu smiled with crescent-shaped eyes but eventually left the bedroom to prepare their meal.

Ye Qinglan dozed off again in the warm cocoon of blankets, only rousing when Ning Yunshu came to wake her.

“Jiejie, time to eat,” Ning Yunshu said softly.

Ye Qinglan reached out with slender arms to loop around Ning Yunshu’s neck, pulling her down for a lingering kiss.

With some energy restored, Ye Qinglan finally sat up, throwing on a bathrobe before rising. Her heat cycle had been perfectly soothed by her Alpha, leaving her with an indescribable sense of fulfillment.

After washing up and eating, Ning Yunshu went to load the washing machine while Ye Qinglan melted bonelessly into the sofa. Having set the machine, Ning Yunshu changed into loungewear and returned to the living room, immediately gathering the soft-sprawled Ye Qinglan back into her arms, clinging to her like a limpet.

Cradled against her lover, Ye Qinglan idly flipped through TV channels, occasionally exchanging a few words with Ning Yunshu.

A peaceful, beautiful moment.

This tranquility didn’t last long, the sudden ringing of the doorbell made them exchange bewildered glances.

Who could be visiting at this hour?

Ye Qinglan patted Ning Yunshu’s hand and extricated herself to change in the bedroom while signaling her to answer the door. Grumbling internally about who dared interrupt their holiday, Ning Yunshu went to open it, only to find Yun Xi outside.

“Mom?” Ning Yunshu blinked in surprise but ushered her in. “What brings you here?”

“What kind of question is that? Can’t I check on you two after your trip abroad?” Yun Xi huffed.

“Of course, of course.” After closing the door, Ning Yunshu guided her mother to the sofa and poured water. “You’ve had a long trip. Have some water.”

Yun Xi accepted the glass, then glanced curiously toward the bedroom. “Where’s Qinglan?”

Before Ning Yunshu could answer, Ye Qinglan emerged, now properly dressed.

“Aunt Yun, I’m here.”

Seeing her, Yun Xi beamed. “I thought you might still be sleeping.”

“No, I just didn’t think pajamas were appropriate for company,” Ye Qinglan replied with a smile, settling beside Ning Yunshu.

Watching their natural intimacy, Yun Xi’s eyes shone with contentment.

“So mom, why this sudden visit?” Ning Yunshu pressed again.

Yun Xi glared. “I already told you to see you two! Why so suspicious?”

Ning Yunshu pouted. “Come on, you never visit without a reason. Would you remember us otherwise?”

“You cheeky girl!” Yun Xi laughed while scolding. “Looking for a spanking?”

Ning Yunshu immediately shrank behind Ye Qinglan.

“Save me, sis!”

Ye Qinglan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry before turning to Yun Xi.

Seeing this, Yun Xi simply laid her cards on the table: “It’s nothing much. I was invited to a charity auction tonight and wanted to bring Qinglan along.”

Ye Qinglan blinked. “Me?”

“Exactly!” Yun Xi nodded. “There’ll be a bunch of big directors there. Qinglan can just tag along to make an appearance. Everyone already knows you two are childhood sweethearts anyway.”

Before Ye Qinglan could respond, Ning Yunshu eagerly cut in, “What about me?”

“You?” Yun Xi shot her a sidelong glance.

“What does this have to do with you?”

Ning Yunshu huffed indignantly. “How does it not involve me? I’m the chairman of J.S., after all. Not inviting me would be their loss.”

“Tch, listen to yourself. Have you no shame?” Yun Xi looked thoroughly disgusted.

“I don’t care. I’m going with sis.” Ning Yunshu promptly latched onto Ye Qinglan’s arm.

“That depends on Qinglan’s decision,” Yun Xi said.

Ning Yunshu immediately turned pitiful eyes toward Ye Qinglan.

Amused, Ye Qinglan finally addressed Yun Xi, “I’m not very familiar with these kinds of events. Xiao Shu knows the ropes better than I do, so having her around would be helpful.”

She paused before adding, “Though I should probably check with Sister Ke first.”

Ning Yunshu brightened instantly, shooting Yun Xi a triumphant smirk.

Yun Xi couldn’t bear to look, then turned back to Ye Qinglan. “Fine, go ahead and ask.”

Ye Qinglan nodded and headed to the bedroom to call Ke Ying.

After explaining the situation, Ke Ying fell silent for a moment before saying, “Go ahead.”

Surprised by her easy agreement, Ye Qinglan couldn’t help asking, “That’s it? No other instructions?”

“What’s there to say? If anything happens, someone will bolt faster than I can. I’m not worried, just gonna kick back and collect my paycheck,” Ke Ying stated bluntly.

Ye Qinglan hesitated. “That sounds comfortable.”

“Sure is,” Ke Ying admitted without missing a beat.

Ye Qinglan: “…”

After hanging up, Ye Qinglan returned to inform Yun Xi.

“Great!” Yun Xi beamed. “Then get ready, and we’ll head out together?”

“Okay.” The two agreed and went to change before leaving with Yun Xi.

Arriving at the charity auction venue, Yun Xi presented her invitation, and a server promptly escorted them inside.

Spotting their arrival, someone immediately approached, an old acquaintance.

“Teacher Yun, you’re here?” Xu Su greeted Yun Xi with a smile before glancing at the two women flanking her. “Bringing the whole family, I see?”

Yun Xi sighed. “What can I do? I only planned to bring Qinglan, but this little tyrant insisted on tagging along.”

Ye Qinglan smiled sheepishly but still greeted politely, “Director Xu.”

Xu Su nodded slightly.

Ning Yunshu, however, declared, “I came with my sister. Got a problem with that?”

Yun Xi chuckled before waving them off. “Alright, there’s still time before it starts. Go look around. I need to catch up with Xiao Xu.”

Ning Yunshu didn’t hesitate. “Then chat away. We’ll find you when it’s about to begin.”

With that, she dragged Ye Qinglan away.

Seeing the person leave, Yunxi glanced at Xu Su and asked, “How do you feel about your movie this time?”

“What do you mean how?” Xu Su didn’t immediately catch on.

“Will it win any awards?!” Yunxi lowered her voice.

“I don’t know. The post-production is already finished, and we’ll submit it for review in a couple of days. It depends on how it performs after release. Besides, that’s up to the judging panel, I can’t make any guarantees.” Xu Su shrugged, then asked, “Why do you seem so anxious?”

“Anxious? Of course I’m anxious! If I don’t hurry, who knows when my future daughter-in-law will finally enter the family!”

Xu Su: “…”
