Chapter 46: Fated Omega, Love Me Again Part 1

The fragrance of omega pheromones lingered in the bedroom.

“Xiao Luo…” Xia Lingyu’s breathing quickened. She felt as if she had stumbled into a sea of blossoms, the scent at her nose growing heavier, slowly robbing her of reason.

A voice echoed in her mind: Mark her, bite down fiercely, let Xiao Luo become her omega…

Xia Lingyu’s mind lost control. Her phoenix-like eyes became slightly bloodshot. She bit down hard on the already pitifully red and swollen gland.

This time, the marking didn’t end until two in the morning.

Xiao Luo was already asleep. Her skin was pale with a rosy flush, still burning with fever.

Xia Lingyu knew she couldn’t take any more. She carried Xiao Luo to the bathroom for a wash, then replaced the sheets and bedding with fresh ones. She laid Xiao Luo on the bed and held her, ready to sleep. The bedroom still held the scent of heat. Xiao Luo’s pheromones had an indescribable, cold fragrance—something like gardenia, something like Michelia, mysterious and tantalizing.

Tonight’s bonding had been ten times more comfortable than before. So this was the wonder of marking.

Having tasted the sweetness, Xia Lingyu was thoroughly satisfied and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Xia Lingyu rose early and considerately prepared a nutritious breakfast for Xiao Luo.

In her sleep, Xiao Luo smelled the delicious aroma and couldn’t help crawling out of the quilt. She moved a bit too much and suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck.

“Ah~” It really hurt!

Xia Lingyu heard her stirring and quickly came in, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Luo looked up, eyes brimming with tears. “You bit me.”

Infuriating. How could she bite so hard? She had no idea how to cherish a delicate beauty.

A trace of apology flashed across Xia Lingyu’s face. She said softly, “Baby, I’m sorry. I’ll be gentler next time, okay? First, let me take a look.”

She moved behind Xiao Luo, lifted her hair to examine the slightly congested gland, and felt another wave of self-reproach. She took out her medical kit, found a pain-relieving ointment, squeezed a bit, and applied it, gently smoothing it in with her fingers.

Xiao Luo felt a cool, refreshing sensation on her neck and squinted, recalling last night’s madness.

She was very angry now, and she had to find some fault to scold Xia Lingyu.

“Professor, you actually forced me to kneel last night. That was so excessive~”

She lifted her sore and aching legs, showing Xia Lingyu her knees, which were already slightly bruised.

Xia Lingyu glanced and felt another pang of guilt, applying medicine to her knees. “I’m sorry, it’ll get better soon.”

Xiao Luo continued, “Forcing me to kneel was one thing, but you also grabbed my hands from behind, leaving me with no support. My waist is so sore!”

She clenched her fist and lightly punched Xia Lingyu’s shoulder.

A faint glint passed across Xia Lingyu’s glasses. She remembered that moment—the moment Xiao Luo had cried hardest. But it hadn’t actually been that painful, just a bit too embarrassing to talk about.

While massaging Xiao Luo’s waist, she leaned close to her ear and said, “Baby, you must have amnesia. How could I possibly leave you without support? If you put it that way, all your weight was pressing on my hands. My arms are sore too.”

“That’s absolutely… nonsense!” A new blush rose on Xiao Luo’s cheeks.

Xia Lingyu added, “And do you remember what you said at that time?”

Seeing Xiao Luo’s baffled expression, she reminded her: “You said ‘faster’…”

Xiao Luo covered her mouth, annoyed. “Faster what? I was just telling you to finish faster. Fine, no more talking. I’m hungry.”

Too much. Did she not want to save face?

Xia Lingyu saw she was annoyed and stopped teasing. She said, “I made your favorite dishes. Hurry and wash up, then come down to eat.”

Xiao Luo hadn’t eaten all last night and was indeed hungry. She quickly went to wash up, then came to the dining room.

“Eat a little more.” Xia Lingyu reached over to serve her food.

Xiao Luo said, “Professor, do you have to go to work later?”

Xia Lingyu rubbed her temples, her tone apologetic. “Unfortunately, yes. But don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

The day after mutually marking with her wife, she had to work. Xia Lingyu was indeed reluctant, but the work had been delayed too long and couldn’t be pushed further.

Luckily, her workload wasn’t heavy—just guiding student projects and solving difficult problems. She could finish quickly.

“Okay,” Xiao Luo said, chin in hand.

Seeing her glum look, Xia Lingyu couldn’t help pinching her cheek. She smiled, “Alright, don’t be unhappy. A few days of work, and then I won’t be busy. I can come back and stay with you every day.”

After being marked, Xiao Luo felt even more dependent on Xia Lingyu.

Earlier, Xiao Luo had clung to her for a long time. Finally, Xia Lingyu kissed her on the cheek several times and said, “Alright, baby, don’t fuss. I’ll be back in the afternoon. I’ll satisfy you tonight, okay?”

Xiao Luo released her, asking, “If I get bored, can I come find you?”

Xia Lingyu chuckled, “Of course. But my office is very boring, and aren’t you feeling unwell right now? Rest well at home. You can go out later.”

That was true; last night had been both wonderful and exhausting.

After Xia Lingyu left, Xiao Luo suddenly felt sleepy again, so she went back to her room and lay down.

Liu Xuan returned home and still missed her daughter, unable to eat or sleep.

Xiao Mu stood by, anxious. “Xuanxuan, why are you still thinking about that ungrateful brat? She treated you like this and even wanted to kill my mother.”

Liu Xuan retorted, “But she’s still our daughter, our only daughter!”

She hugged her pillow, crying. “She turned out this way because of your mother and your sister! I wish she had killed that old hag instead.”

Hearing that, Xiao Mu was incredulous. “Xuanxuan, how can you think that?”

“What’s wrong with thinking that?” Liu Xuan huffed indignantly. “I’m not wrong. If your mother weren’t so biased, and that little wretch Xiao Luo hadn’t deliberately interfered, my Qingqing would have been out of the detention center long ago.”

Xiao Mu felt a slight discomfort. Though he always sided with his wife, her cursing his mother to die was truly too much.

The old lady was indeed shrewd, but was she as unforgivable as Liu Xuan claimed?

For the first time, Xiao Mu looked at his wife with a strange expression.

Liu Xuan grew angry. “What? Do you think I’m wrong?”

Xiao Mu said, “Xuanxuan, can you be a bit more magnanimous?”

Liu Xuan’s eyes widened. “I’m already this miserable, and you still tell me to be magnanimous? Xiao Mu, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”

She was furious and started hitting him with her small fists, pounding on his chest. “This is too much! Kneel on a durian and apologize! Tonight, you’re not sleeping in the bed, you’re sleeping on the floor!”

Xiao Mu grabbed her hands, helpless. “I’m tired. Don’t do this.”

“I don’t care! I want to see you kneel on a durian, and say out loud that your mother should die…”

Xiao Mu roared, “Liu Xuan! Stop being unreasonable!”

His shout scared her silly. Xiao Mu had never shouted at her like that before. She felt scared and wronged at the same time.

Damn alpha! She must have been blind to fall for such a mama’s boy, and now he was even committing domestic violence against her.

Xiao Mu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and turned to leave. “Forget it. Calm down. I’m going to the office.”

Liu Xuan watched his departing back, furious and aggrieved. She couldn’t help smashing things in the room. Only after destroying some items did she feel a little better.

Just then, her phone rang. Liu Xuan took out her phone and saw an unknown number, so she hung up.

But the number called again. She hung up again.

She answered and snapped, “Who the hell are you? So annoying!?”

After shouting, she was about to hang up when a familiar voice came through. “Mom, it’s me.”

Liu Xuan froze for three seconds. “You… is that Qingqing?”

Xiao Qing said, “Mm, yes, it’s Xiao Qing.”

Liu Xuan remembered that this new personality occupied her daughter’s body and said angrily, “You heartless wretch! You locked me up, and you still have the nerve to call me ‘Mom’?”

“Mom, I’m not her right now.”

Liu Xuan asked, “What do you mean?”

“Mom, I’m your most beloved daughter now. This time I’ve truly come back. Will you come see me?”

Liu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. “Qingqing, is it really you? Where are you? I’ll come right away. Wait for Mom.”

After hanging up, she quickly tidied herself up, called for the driver, and headed to a bustling street.

Beside a street sign stood a figure. Yes, it was her daughter, though much thinner than before.

Xiao Qing looked at Liu Xuan and obediently called, “Mom!”

Liu Xuan confirmed it was the daughter she remembered. She couldn’t help stepping forward and hugging Xiao Qing. “My poor daughter, you’ve suffered so much.”

Xiao Qing patted Liu Xuan’s back and whispered, “It’s okay now, Mom. Let’s go home.”

“But…” Liu Xuan thought of Old Madam Xiao. “That dead old hag kicked you out. If you show up in front of her, will she call the police?”

A vicious gleam flickered in Xiao Qing’s eyes. “It’s fine. I’ll explain to Grandmother myself. She’s not the one who wanted to kill her.” It was that outsider soul.

In truth, she had been inside her body the whole time watching that intruder control her body and run amok. The outsider probably never imagined she could come back and regain control of her body, right?

Even if the outsider had her memories, they couldn’t even fake it properly. Getting chased out of the house was truly laughable.

Xiao Qing then thought of Xiao Luo—that little aunt who was different from her memories. A woman who should have died long ago in that bed was somehow still alive and well. How interesting.

She still remembered the day she was detained by the police. A woman stood not far away watching her. That person was most likely her dear little aunt.

A violent urge rose in Xiao Qing’s heart. She couldn’t help licking the tips of her teeth and sneering, “Mom, don’t worry. Let’s go home first.”

She would personally take back everything that was hers.
