Inferior A After Having a Baby with the Top Boss 79

Chapter 79: Not Just a Marking, But More

When Zhu Yiqiao entered the toy room on the second floor, Ming Zaozao had just woken up.

She rubbed her eyes, and seeing that it was Pretty Auntie who had returned from her business trip, she smiled, got out of her tent, and flew into Zhu Yiqiao’s arms.

“Pretty Auntie, you’re back!”

Zhu Yiqiao caught her and pinched her cheek. The little one in her arms had gained a little more weight in the ten days they hadn’t seen each other, her face as round as a pearly pink pearl.

“Mm, I brought gifts for Zaozao.” She said, “Did Zaozao just wake up?”

Ming Zaozao replied, “Yes, Baby just had a dream, and in the dream there were…” She blinked, clearly not remembering. “There were lots and lots of… um, bunnies!”

Zhu Yiqiao picked her up and walked downstairs: “Was it a good dream?”

Ming Zaozao replied crisply, “Mm-hmm~ Because Mommy was there!”

Hearing this, a smile appeared in Zhu Yiqiao’s eyes. 008, following behind them, filled its screen with carnations and played the song “A Loving Family.”

Mentioning the word “Mommy,” Ming Zaozao belatedly reacted, looking around but not seeing Ming Fei.

She didn’t think too much about it, assuming Ming Fei was still busy in the study on the second floor. It wasn’t until she opened the gift Zhu Yiqiao gave her, and habitually wanted to share her joy with Ming Fei, that she asked Zhu Yiqiao,

“Pretty Auntie, is my mommy still busy?”

Zhu Yiqiao looked into her eyes, paying attention to her every emotion: “Zaozao, she went back to school for a meeting while you were still sleeping, so she didn’t wake you up. But the school temporarily assigned her a task, and she had to go abroad. She didn’t have time to come back and pack, so she went to the transit station with the other teachers.”

After receiving this information, Ming Zaozao held the new toy in her hands and didn’t speak. Zhu Yiqiao thought she was starting to feel sad and was about to comfort her when she saw Ming Zaozao raise her head and smile sweetly.

“Okay! Baby understands!”

She hummed a newly learned song: “Mommy is working hard~ Baby will be good~”

Among the children Zhu Yiqiao had met, Ming Zaozao was undoubtedly very obedient and understanding. She didn’t even wait for Zhu Yiqiao to explain further, murmuring softly,

“Mommy is busy, Auntie is busy too, then Baby will go play at Yima’s house!” She was happy about her clever decision, letting go of the toy and clapping for herself. “Baby will take Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan with me!”

Zhu Yiqiao patted her head and played a video Ming Fei had recorded in advance. Ming Fei in the video was using a filter, because if she hadn’t used a filter to cover her flushed face, the clever Ming Zaozao would definitely have noticed something.

After watching the video, Ming Zaozao waved at the end and asked Zhu Yiqiao if she would be very busy. Learning that Zhu Yiqiao also had a business trip, Ming Zaozao hugged her reluctantly, but after hearing that Zhu Yiqiao would return with Ming Fei, and that they would only be gone for three or four days, she cheered up again, smiling like a sunflower.

“When we come back, we’ll take Zaozao to wherever she wants to go, okay?”

Ming Zaozao kissed Zhu Yiqiao on the cheek: “Okay!”

Five minutes later, the limited-edition black hovercar drove into the villa garage. Zhu Yiqiao led Ming Zaozao, who was carrying a little bear backpack, followed by 008, carrying the cat and dog carriers in its hands.

Xu Zhou, dressed in grayish-black, got out of the car. The two icebergs met head-on, and Ming Zaozao, dressed in a pink and white fluffy kitten outfit, called out in a childish voice,

“Yima!”

Xu Zhou picked up Ming Zaozao, the corner of her lips curving slightly: “Zaozao.”

Ming Zaozao hadn’t seen Xu Zhou for a week either. She whispered something in Xu Zhou’s ear, something that sounded like a powerful magic spell.

After she finished whispering, Xu Zhou’s eyes softened with a smile, and she said meaningfully, “Please take care of Xiao Fei, Chief Judge Zhu.”

Zhu Yiqiao’s gaze lingered on Xu Zhou’s wrist for a moment. Her expression didn’t change, but her voice held a deeper meaning when she spoke again.

“President Xu, there’s something in your bracelet.”

Xu Zhou’s eyes darkened. This was an anklet she had worn before her two transmigrations, only later changed into a bracelet, which she didn’t wear often. If her memory wasn’t wrong, this was the last trace left by their mothers.

She looked down at the bracelet, carefully examining it before looking back and saying,

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhu Yiqiao stepped forward and adjusted Ming Zaozao’s scarf. “Auntie will video call Zaozao every day.”

Ming Zaozao waved happily: “Okay, bye Auntie.”

“Goodbye.”

The black hovercar only stayed at the villa for a short time, but for Ming Fei on the second floor, this time felt very long.

Because Zhu Yiqiao wasn’t by her side.

Only after Zhu Yiqiao left did Ming Fei truly understand what a heat cycle was. The possessiveness rooted in her bones couldn’t be ignored, suppressed, or controlled.

She wanted to be by Zhu Yiqiao’s side every minute, every second, she wanted Zhu Yiqiao to be with her all the time.

This thought reached its peak when she heard footsteps at the door. She even opened the door from the inside before the security door could open automatically, like a withered, almost dying plant encountering the first rain of spring.

After the security door opened, Ming Fei’s pounding heart miraculously calmed down. She looked into Zhu Yiqiao’s eyes, her heart turbulent, but her voice soft.

“…Jiejie.”

“Mm, Ah Fei.”

After responding, Zhu Yiqiao raised her right hand, cupping Ming Fei’s chin, her thumb caressing her cheek, her earlobe, then gently stroking her neck as if soothing a small animal.

The possessiveness hidden in the shadows was greatly satisfied.

After all, this was already the limit Ming Fei could think of. Moreover, she had set three mandatory programs for herself beforehand:

—Do not harm Zhu Yiqiao.

—Strictly prohibited from harming Zhu Yiqiao.

—Absolutely forbidden to harm Zhu Yiqiao.

She always kept these in mind and strictly enforced them.

But Zhu Yiqiao was too kind, fulfilling her every wish bit by bit, making her uncontrollably want more, like now.

Zhu Yiqiao asked, “Are you alright?”

Ming Fei didn’t speak. The corners of her eyes, flushed with a faint red, were like a red rose painted on the snow.

Zhu Yiqiao wasn’t in a hurry, just asking, “Do you need a marking now?”

From the time she left to the time she returned, it had only been half an hour. The duration of a temporary marking wasn’t fixed, but it could definitely last for half an hour. Zhu Yiqiao knew this very well.

Her hand didn’t move, still resting on the back of Ming Fei’s neck, and Ming Fei just looked at her quietly, the possessiveness in her heart clamoring again.

[She asked proactively.]

[This is what you want, right?]

[Not just a marking, you want more.]

The desire to get closer, to touch, to possess, gradually eroded her already dwindling rationality, until, just as it was about to completely succeed, reason forcefully suppressed it, turning into a cage, trapping all desires.

Ming Fei lowered her gaze and pursed her lips: “…Jiejie, not yet.”

Only the two of them, and 0619, which couldn’t sense pheromones, remained in the large villa. Their pheromones intermingled, intimately entwined, permeating every corner of the room.

“Let’s go.” Zhu Yiqiao took her hand. “It’s time for dinner.”

During a heat cycle, physical contact could have a certain soothing effect. Ming Fei glanced at their intertwined hands, not resisting, obediently letting Zhu Yiqiao lead her. Her possessiveness urged her to interlock their fingers, but she ultimately didn’t, just the corners of her lips curving slightly upwards, like a cat that had just eaten its favorite canned fish.

Walking down the stairs to the living room on the first floor, 0619, which had just finished diligently patrolling the villa area, happened to return to the living room and saw them holding hands, its entire display screen filled with pink hearts.

It approached Ming Fei, who was sitting at the bar, the pink hearts still radiating from its screen: “Congratulations to Teacher Xiao Fei and Chief Judge Zhu, are you two going on your honeymoon soon? In just half a minute, I found ten honeymoon destinations for you, Teacher Xiao Fei, take a look and see which one you like.”

At this moment, Ming Fei’s brain was processing information slowly, but when it came to matters related to Zhu Yiqiao, it would speed up a little.

She glanced at Zhu Yiqiao, who was busy in the kitchen, and explained softly, “No, you’re mistaken.”

The hearts on 0619’s screen turned into question marks. As the most intelligent robot butler currently available, how could it make a mistake?

It asked directly, “Aren’t you holding hands because you’re together?”

Ming Fei shook her head: “No.”

0619 didn’t believe her: “Teacher Xiao Fei, your face is so red, isn’t it because you two confessed your feelings and pledged your love for each other after talking upstairs?”

It brought up several old-century romantic movies it had recently watched and said with certainty, “That’s how it’s done in the movies!”

Ming Fei was dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected 0619 to have come up with a complete storyline, and it even sounded quite plausible. She couldn’t explain the special period from the other world, so she tried to use the three words “good friends” as an excuse to cover it up.

Although 0619 didn’t understand what this “good friend” act was about, it still followed Chief Judge Zhu’s previous instructions and cooperated, dropping the topic.

It played the song “This Sweet Love” and praised, “I see, Teacher Xiao Fei, your friendship with Chief Judge Zhu is truly touching.”

After saying that, it shed two exaggerated tears. Ming Fei thought for a moment, gave it an instruction to water the garden, then got up and went into the kitchen.

She lightened her footsteps, but Zhu Yiqiao still noticed her as soon as she entered the kitchen.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

Ming Fei shook her head: “No.”

The aroma of food wafted from the pot. Zhu Yiqiao put down the plate, turned around, and looked at her.

“It will be about twenty more minutes.”

After coming downstairs, Ming Fei had wanted to help Zhu Yiqiao in the kitchen, but Zhu Yiqiao refused, citing Ming Fei’s health as the reason, and asked her to rest at the bar for a while.

The bar wasn’t far from the kitchen, and sitting at the bar, she could clearly see what was happening in the kitchen, but the door between them made Ming Fei feel… as if they were very far apart.

Very, very far.

She wanted to be closer to Zhu Yiqiao.

She didn’t know how to express this, just quietly looking at Zhu Yiqiao. When Zhu Yiqiao approached and stopped a step away, she heard Zhu Yiqiao ask,

“Ah Fei, what do you want?”

Ming Fei hesitated. This was her first heat cycle, and many unfamiliar emotions made her feel strange.

“Jiejie, I…”

Zhu Yiqiao guided her to express her true feelings.

“Tell me, okay?”

Ming Fei pursed her lips, like a helpless canine, drooping its ears and tail.

“I… I want to be closer to Jiejie.”
