Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

“Xian-shén said she’ll treat us to a meal later, thanking us for coming to support her. She asked what we want to eat.”

Sun Qiuqiu, still immersed in the concert atmosphere while hugging her light stick, said this. Most of the fans had left, with a few remaining to help clean up the venue.

“Our Xian-shén is so good, spoiling her fans and so thoughtful. She even specifically invited us to dinner because she knows we worked hard.”

“Tsk, if you like her that much, why don’t you just take her home? Look at you, all starry-eyed.”

Jiang Yi crossed his arms and scoffed. Sun Qiuqiu’s eyes widened. “Jiang Yi, are you jealous? I knew you envied Xian-shén! Well, you wouldn’t know—”

Su Tuantuan, who was about to text Xiao Yu, heard them arguing and worried they might attract onlookers. “Um… I won’t join for dinner. I’m on a diet lately, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I’ll just—”

Sun Qiuqiu immediately grabbed her neck and snatched her phone.

Su Tuantuan almost twisted her back. Sun Qiuqiu threatened, gritting her teeth, “We all have to get up early tomorrow. Aren’t we filming the same show? Su Tuantuan, you’re not giving face to my Xian-shén’s treat. Do you want us to stop being friends?!”

Su Tuantuan: “…”

Was she not giving face?

She was avoiding unnecessary interaction!

If Sun Qiuqiu knew what the original owner had done to Mo Xian, she would surely come at her with a knife!

Su Tuantuan’s face flushed from being choked. Ding Zhao also chimed in, “Yeah, Sister. That’s a dinner invitation from Xian-shén! How cool is Xian-shén! She even gave us the concert tickets. How about we treat her back, to help her relax and celebrate her success!”

“Great idea!”

Sun Qiuqiu’s eyes lit up. “You’re not completely useless after all!”

Ding Zhao scratched his head shyly. The group discussed where to invite Mo Xian for the celebration.

This put Su Tuantuan in an awkward position.

If Mo Xian was paying, it would be fine if she didn’t go. But if they decided to treat Mo Xian, and she didn’t show up, it would feel like she was skipping out on the bill.

The group eventually confirmed and chose a seafood hot pot restaurant.

Half an hour later, Mo Xian pushed open the private room door.

She had quickly removed her makeup and changed into a fresh white T-shirt and long pants. As soon as she entered, she saw Su Tuantuan hiding her face behind a menu.

Sun Qiuqiu excitedly jumped up. “Xian-shén!”

She had been shouting all night, and her voice was a little hoarse. Mo Xian nodded, greeting the others. She noticed Sun Qiuqiu nudging Su Tuantuan’s elbow, seemingly whispering something.

Sun Qiuqiu gave her a pointed look: “Xian-shén is here, what are you looking at the menu for?”

Su Tuantuan stared straight ahead: “I think this big abalone looks good.”

Sun Qiuqiu: “…Okay, order fifty. Eat until you’re satisfied.”

Su Tuantuan: “No, no, that’s too much. Two is fine. It’s too big.”

Sun Qiuqiu pressed down on the menu, giving a sinister side-eye: “Put the menu down. Are you embarrassed to be seen or what?”

Su Tuantuan: “…”

She took a deep breath and slowly lowered the menu.

…She made direct eye contact with Mo Xian, who was observing her.

Su Tuantuan felt a bit embarrassed.

To be honest, she didn’t know why she was embarrassed.

I mean, when Mo Xian stood in front of her before, she just thought Mo Xian had the looks she liked, maybe secretly admiring her appearance.

But she hadn’t expected Mo Xian to be so captivating on stage.

She completely treated the stage like her empire, controlling it at will.

After watching the performance, when Su Tuantuan looked at Mo Xian, she kept recalling Mo Xian’s appearance on stage.

So poised, it was almost as if she could hear the faint panting transmitted through Mo Xian’s headset while she sang and danced.

Su Tuantuan rubbed her face.

At this moment, she felt like a total pervert.

She was so embarrassed!

“Xian-shén, you were absolutely amazing tonight! Even better than the last show! I will definitely come to the next one!”

Sun Qiuqiu stood up slavishly, pouring tea for Mo Xian. “Drink some water and wet your throat. You must be tired after singing all night!”

Su Tuantuan saw goji berries and white chrysanthemum in the glass teapot. The white chrysanthemums had bloomed and floated up and down with the movement of the water. She instinctively said, “She has a cold stomach. She can’t drink chrysanthemum tea.”

Even she was stunned after saying that.

What the hell? When did Mo Xian have a cold stomach?

How did she know that so clearly?

Was the original owner’s subconscious mind at work?!

The eyes of everyone in the room were circling her. Su Tuantuan wondered how to explain. Sun Qiuqiu “Hahahaha’d,” pointing at her and laughing. “Still saying you’re not a fan of Xian-shén! You know so much about her. You must be a veteran fan of ten years! Who are you trying to fool!”

Su Tuantuan: “…”

She really wasn’t.

She could only cover it up with a smile.

And consciously ignore Mo Xian’s presence.

…She hoped Mo Xian wouldn’t think she did that on purpose.

Sun Qiuqiu pushed the poured tea towards Su Tuantuan. “Then I’ll ask the waiter for black tea! It’s good for the stomach! I guarantee it won’t be wrong!”

Su Tuantuan silently took a sip of the tea, which she was holding. She couldn’t look at the menu anymore. She stared at the golden tea, wondering if she should make up an excuse and leave.

What excuse?

Should she say she had a stomachache and needed the bathroom?

At this moment, Ding Zhao said something, and the atmosphere in the private room instantly became lively. Su Tuantuan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

The dinner lasted much longer than Su Tuantuan had anticipated.

Sun Qiuqiu was too noisy, buzzing in her ear constantly. Sun Qiuqiu had already shifted the topic from Mo Xian’s debut to her future retirement plans, and Su Tuantuan hadn’t even finished one crab.

Then Sun Qiuqiu turned to ask Su Tuantuan, “You agree, right?”

Su Tuantuan bit a crab leg, looking completely bewildered. “Huh?”

Seeing Sun Qiuqiu’s brow start to furrow, Su Tuantuan said, “Oh.” “Yes, you’re right.”

Sun Qiuqiu looked satisfied and turned to smile at Mo Xian. “See, I told you! All Omegas in the world want to have your babies. Your fated partner just needs to be searched for slowly, and they will definitely—”

Su Tuantuan nearly spat out her chrysanthemum tea.

She hurriedly wiped her mouth. Sun Qiuqiu shook her head and continued, “—they will definitely be found!”

Su Tuantuan couldn’t stay any longer.

“I need to go to the restroom.”

Staying in that room was truly driving her crazy!

Su Tuantuan walked in the ground floor garden corridor for quite a while, estimating that she could bid farewell and leave if she stayed a little longer. She closed her puzzle game, put away her phone, and prepared to return to the private room. Then, she saw Mo Xian standing not far away.

Mo Xian was leaning against a pillar, hands in her pockets. A wall of sparse bamboo provided a dappled shadow behind her. A red lantern hung on the pillar. Mo Xian was waiting there for her.

Su Tuantuan knew Mo Xian was waiting for her.

Because Mo Xian had Su Tuantuan’s bag slung over her arm.

At this moment, her phone chimed. Sun Qiuqiu’s messages popped up, a string of more than ten.

: “We’re going to karaoke. Xian-shén said she’s tired, and she’ll give you a ride since it’s on the way.”

: “What kind of fate is this? Where can you find an idol who spoils their fans like this these days? That’s enough for you. Don’t stay in the bathroom for too long.”

: “Su Tuantuan, are you constipated? Why haven’t you come out yet! You’re making our Xian-shén wait for you to poop! You are guilty of the gravest crime!”

Sun Qiuqiu was good in every way.

Except she talked too much.

And she had an idol worship complex.

Su Tuantuan felt that it was a blessing she wasn’t the female supporting character in the novel.

If Sun Qiuqiu were Mo Xian’s ex-wife, she would probably offer up her own kidney to Mo Xian, and then ask Mo Xian if she needed salt and cumin to grill it.

At this hour, there was no one else in the garden. Su Tuantuan had planned to call Xiao Yu when she was about to leave, but now this happened.

She needed to call Xiao Yu quickly.

Su Tuantuan walked towards her with a smile. “A Xian, my assistant is here. You don’t need to drive me. I didn’t see you just now. I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.”

It wasn’t her fault.

Why was Mo Xian standing there alone without making a sound!

“Yeah, it’s okay. I needed a break anyway.”

Mo Xian had a piece of candy in her mouth, her cheek slightly puffed out. She stood up straight as Su Tuantuan approached.

Her collarbone was somewhat visible.

Su Tuantuan’s steps paused.

Mo Xian sniffed, her dark eyes scanning the air. “What’s that smell?”

Su Tuantuan: “…”

A faint scent of citrus.

She fanned the air and took a strong sniff herself. “I don’t know. Maybe it’s someone’s perfume?”

She held out her hand, indicating for Mo Xian to give her the bag. “A Xian, I’ll be going now?”

Mo Xian stopped sniffing.

Her gaze was then firmly locked onto Su Tuantuan’s fair neck.

Su Tuantuan’s heart skipped a beat.

Is this person going to kill me to silence me now?!

Then, she saw Mo Xian slightly furrow her brow.

Following that, she saw Mo Xian pull out something that looked like a medium-sized bandage from her pocket and lean in towards her.

Su Tuantuan’s heart was pounding wildly. She didn’t know why Mo Xian suddenly came close, nor why she was holding a bandage—

The image of Mo Xian in front of her overlapped with the image of the mesmerizing goddess on stage.

She was afraid she would lose her composure.

Slap!

The bandage landed accurately on Su Tuantuan’s neck.

To be precise, it landed on her scent gland.

Su Tuantuan’s eyes were filled with confusion, and Mo Xian’s brows were tightly knit, her voice carrying a hint of doubt. “Why has your pheromone scent changed?”

Pheromone?

Scent?

She said her pheromone scent changed, did she mean she smelled bad?

She said she smelled bad?!

In a flash of realization, Su Tuantuan felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her.

She felt like she had been struck by lightning!

This was the first time she had encountered the issue of pheromones since transmigrating into the novel!

So that faint citrus scent just now was actually her pheromone?!

Changed how?! It smelled so good!

She remembered that in the ABO world, releasing pheromones happened during an estrus.

So, was she discovered to be aroused, or did Mo Xian mistake it for the onset of her estrus?!

Damn it! Did Mo Xian have a problem with her sense of smell, saying her pheromones smelled bad!

Mo Xian maintained a few steps of distance from her, afraid of any further contact. “Although I’ve applied a temporary inhibitor patch, please be more mindful of your image in public in the future.”

Su Tuantuan was stunned by the continuous barrage of blows.

Now, she was finally clear-headed and back to her senses.

She smiled, her fox-like eyes shrewd and alert, seemingly not taking Mo Xian’s coldness and disdain to heart at all.

“My apologies. I wasn’t paying attention. I’m usually quite careless.”

Su Tuantuan reached out and snatched her bag, yanking it hard, almost causing Mo Xian to fall. Su Tuantuan gave a fake, unsmiling expression, shamelessly and composedly saying, “My assistant is here. I’m leaving now. You don’t need to trouble yourself to drive me, Xian-shén.”

Mo Xian, who was holding the pillar, unsure why Su Tuantuan suddenly became so rough: “…”

She didn’t say anything wrong just now, did she?

Su Tuantuan sashayed away, swaying her slender waist. Mo Xian, holding the pillar, pondered.

Didn’t she just remind Su Tuantuan to protect herself and not easily expose her pheromones?!

After all, even she was almost—

If Su Tuantuan attracted the attention of some perverted Alphas, wouldn’t her life be in danger!

However, Su Tuantuan’s pheromone scent had actually changed, different from before.

This was something Mo Xian had completely not anticipated.
