Inferior A After Having a Baby with the Top Boss 78

Chapter 78: “Ah Fei, Mark Me.”

This was the first time Ming Fei used a bite blocker.

Three months ago, the day after her alpha identity was revealed, Zhu Yiqiao had given her the bite blocker, handcuffs, and specialized heat suppressants.

At that time, she hadn’t been particularly concerned about the unknown, even thinking that a heat cycle might not come, and even if it did, given her damaged gland, it should be relatively mild.

But the reality was—

Her heat cycle had nothing to do with the word “mild.”

Two hours after taking the fever reducer, her temperature rose instead of falling, her cheeks burning red. To be precise, every inch of exposed skin was red, even her eyes were flushed.

Pheromones filled the entire room. Realizing that her heat cycle had truly arrived, she immediately got out of bed and retrieved the password-protected storage box containing the specialized suppressants, bite blocker, and handcuffs from the locker.

After injecting the first dose of suppressant, her rationality returned to 80%.

Her breath hot, she once again gave 008 and 0619 separate instructions to take care of Ming Zaozao, then searched for Dr. Tang’s contact information. But the call didn’t connect, and after three attempts that automatically switched to voicemail, she suddenly felt weak, and her phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

…She had underestimated it. She thought.

The lush pear tree blossomed and bore fruit, the snow-white pear flesh so sweet that it oozed juice. As another wave of heat surged through her body, she bit her lip, her fingertips reaching for the remaining two items in the storage box.

The cold, silver handcuffs shimmered. As her fingertip touched the silver chain, she thought of Zhu Yiqiao, who was in another country.

The first night her pheromones overflowed, Zhu Yiqiao had handcuffed her without warning. At that time, she had felt confused, stunned, surprised, and a little angry.

In three months, their lives had undergone earth-shattering changes. She and Zhu Yiqiao had become friends, good friends. She discovered their past connection and bond, and she even… found herself uncontrollably falling for Zhu Yiqiao.

…Zhu Yiqiao…

She thought about the name hazily, first putting on the black bite blocker, then reaching for the silver handcuffs.

But suddenly—

Before she could fully fasten the handcuffs, she sensed the familiar pine and fir scent swirling in the room, actively entwining with the overwhelming pear scent, circling the ripest, sweetest pear.

As the playful raccoon cat wrapped its tail around the pear, Ming Fei suddenly turned her head and saw Zhu Yiqiao, whom she hadn’t seen for ten days, standing a meter away.

Her heart raced, and she took half a step back for some inexplicable reason.

“…Jiejie.”

She took half a step back, but her eyes didn’t leave Zhu Yiqiao’s face, because not only had it been ten days since they last saw each other, but also ten days of missing her. Her eyes were red. She didn’t want to look away, but sensing the possessiveness brought on by her heat cycle, she restrained herself and averted her gaze.

She had expected Zhu Yiqiao to leave immediately after sensing her heat cycle. Because their agreement didn’t cover this special situation.

Their agreement was mutually beneficial. Zhu Yiqiao helped her treat her gland pain, and she, in return, needed to help Zhu Yiqiao stabilize her pheromone levels and get through her heat cycles. This was the entirety of their agreement.

But—

Zhu Yiqiao didn’t leave.

Ming Fei noticed from the corner of her eye that Zhu Yiqiao was approaching. In the soil where the pear tree was deeply rooted, cedar and fir trees sprouted, their lush branches and leaves brushing against the pear leaves, making the pear blossoms tremble, and the pear fragrance grew sweeter and sweeter.

Zhu Yiqiao’s footsteps stopped a step away. As her shadow fell over Ming Fei, just as Ming Fei was about to turn her head away, Zhu Yiqiao’s fingertips touched the bite blocker, her palm cupping Ming Fei’s cheek.

“…Ah Fei.”

Ming Fei wanted to sound firm and tell Zhu Yiqiao to leave, because the current situation was special, and she was afraid she would hurt Zhu Yiqiao. But facing the person she liked, even the hardest heart would soften, let alone hers, which was already soft as water.

She gave up the pretense. As their eyes met, she softly tried to dissuade her.

“Jiejie, I’m not sure how long this heat cycle will last. Please take care of Zaozao. If you have to leave for something, just send Zaozao to my sister’s—”

Her voice abruptly stopped.

A click sounded, and the black bite blocker suddenly came loose and fell to the ground. Ming Fei’s eyes widened, staring in astonishment at Zhu Yiqiao, who had somehow unfastened the bite blocker.

The raccoon cat, which should have been dangerous and best avoided, perked up its ears, its fluffy tail wagging, and rolled in front of Ming Fei, exposing its soft belly.

Then, Zhu Yiqiao’s voice rang out at the right time: “I will send Zaozao to Xu Zhou’s, but I will also stay by your side.”

The effect of the specialized suppressant was gradually wearing off, and a physiological tear caused by the heat slipped from the corner of Ming Fei’s eye.

Zhu Yiqiao looked at her: “Ah Fei, are you going to push me away?”

Reason told Ming Fei that she should push her away, refuse, and stay away, but meeting Zhu Yiqiao’s eyes, she couldn’t say anything, completely at a loss.

After struggling to control herself, she asked hoarsely, “Why?”

“Do you need a reason?”

Ming Fei’s eyes spoke for her, her answer self-evident. Zhu Yiqiao reached out and brushed Ming Fei’s messy hair behind her ear, looked at her intently, and suddenly hugged her.

“There are many reasons.”

“The most important one is…” She omitted the first half of the sentence, “I like you,” only saying the latter half of the blessing, “Ah Fei, I hope you are safe, healthy, and happy.”

“Clang—”

The sound of the silver handcuffs falling to the ground was exceptionally clear in the quiet and tense room.

At this moment, Ming Fei’s thoughts should have been chaotic, but she felt exceptionally clear-headed. She began to doubt the search results on the public network—suppressing her feelings and approaching and accompanying as a friend would be more long-lasting and greatly reduce the risk of complete loss.

Liking, possessing, obtaining, losing, friend.

These words swirled in her mind. She looked down at Zhu Yiqiao, who had unfastened her handcuffs, not pushing her away, not retreating, just staring at her movements.

Zhu Yiqiao’s slender, white fingertips unbuttoned the first button of Ming Fei’s shirt. Just as she was about to undo the second button, Ming Fei grabbed her hand.

“…Jiejie.”

Zhu Yiqiao responded and, covering Ming Fei’s hand with her own, led her to unbutton the second button, her gaze and tone filled with a gentleness only shown to Ming Fei.

“Ah Fei, help me unbutton it.”

Ming Fei’s face flushed crimson like a prairie fire ignited by a spark. Her eyelashes trembled. Although she felt extremely uncomfortable, even the hand being held was painful, she was still incredibly gentle.

But to give Zhu Yiqiao a chance to change her mind, she deliberately put on a slightly forceful front and asked,

“There’s still a chance to back out now, Jiejie, have you thought it through?”

Two minutes ago, after saying that meaningful blessing, Zhu Yiqiao had told her that Dr. Tang suggested she use marking to get through her heat cycle, otherwise it would affect the healing of her pain and might even cause pheromone disorders.

Ming Fei had no reason to refuse or object. After that, she reminded Zhu Yiqiao that this wasn’t part of their initial agreement, and Zhu Yiqiao told her that as Party A, she had the right to add clauses to the agreement.

Finally, she added, “During the contract period, Party A shall bear the responsibility of helping Party B through special periods. This clause will be added to the agreement. Miss Ming, do you have any objections?”

The formal address “Miss Ming” created some distance between them. Ming Fei preferred the address “Ah Fei.” As Party B, she remained silent, and when she met Zhu Yiqiao’s gaze, she didn’t refuse or agree, just let Zhu Yiqiao unlock her handcuffs.

This seemed to have become a tacit understanding between them.

So, when Ming Fei asked “Have you thought it through?”, Zhu Yiqiao didn’t answer, just led her hand and slowly unbuttoned the second button.

Then—

Still holding her hand, she moved it past her shoulder, only releasing it when Ming Fei’s fingertips touched the edge of the suppressor patch.

“Ah Fei, help me remove the suppressor patch.”

By now, the effect of the first suppressant injection had completely worn off, and Ming Fei’s brain’s operating system had crashed, but it was still executing the highest level mandatory program she had set.

—Do not harm Zhu Yiqiao.

—Strictly prohibited from harming Zhu Yiqiao.

—Absolutely forbidden to harm Zhu Yiqiao.

As the highest level mandatory program ran, another hidden program, which had spontaneously formed in her body since realizing her feelings, also started running—make Zhu Yiqiao happy, listen to Zhu Yiqiao.

So, after her fingertips found the edge of the suppressor patch, she gently peeled off the last layer of protection.

The seemingly forceful wolf ultimately became a gentle and loyal dog.

She obediently replied, “It’s off.”

Zhu Yiqiao hummed in response, her gaze slowly moving down from Ming Fei’s eyes, first to the tip of her nose, her cheeks, her dimple, and finally bypassing her lips, removing the useless suppressor patch from Ming Fei’s neck in the same way.

She asked in a low voice, “What should we do next?”

Like a teacher suddenly asking a question after class, and Ming Fei, the good student, thought for two seconds, then sat on the edge of the bed, about to gesture for Zhu Yiqiao to sit on her right, like last time, to complete the marking.

But Zhu Yiqiao, without warning, sat on her lap.

Ming Fei’s face instantly turned as red as a ripe cherry. She stammered, yet spoke seriously, like a malfunctioning robot.

“…Jiejie, is this position… a little inconvenient?”

Zhu Yiqiao answered with her actions, slightly tilting her head to fully expose the gland on the back of her neck.

“Isn’t it very convenient?”

Although in heat, Ming Fei still felt shy. She didn’t answer, but the trembling pear, which had fallen to the ground and been circled by the raccoon cat’s tail, answered for her whether it was convenient or not.

As the sweet pear split open with sweetness, Ming Fei heard Zhu Yiqiao continue,

“Kiss it first.”

“Okay, I will.”

Ming Fei lowered her head and placed a light kiss on the center of the gland, then covered the first kiss with another. After an unknown number of kisses, as another wave of heat surged through her, Ming Fei’s mind was filled with exploding fireworks.

Because she heard Zhu Yiqiao say, “Ah Fei, mark me.”

Zhu Yiqiao’s affirmation and the hidden program in her mind worked simultaneously. Her teeth pierced the pink gland, and the two pheromones merged into each other’s blood and marrow, as if wanting to intertwine and fuse until the end of time. The raccoon cat, tasting the little sweet pear, sighed contentedly, and Ming Fei’s vision was filled with a dazzling spring tide.

At the same time, her suppressed and restrained possessiveness also reached its peak, intertwined with her affection.

She thought, what should she do?

She… didn’t want to be just friends with Zhu Yiqiao, just good friends.

And her heat cycle would last at least three more days. What should she do next?
