When Xiao Luo woke up, the System alerted her: [Host, the original scum alpha has returned to her body.]
[Did this just happen?]
System: [Yes. For the next three days, starting today, Xiao Qing’s body will be in rut.]
[So for these three days, the scum alpha is the one controlling that body? Where is she now?]
System: [She returned to the Xiao residence with Liu Xuan.]
Xiao Luo felt a bit curious. She got out of bed, dressed, and prepared to head back as well.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the Xiao residence.
Liu Xuan and Xiao Qing had also just returned not long ago. They were sitting on the living room sofa waiting for Old Madam to come downstairs when they saw Xiao Luo walk in.
Xiao Luo feigned surprise when she saw them. “Oh dear, isn’t this my big niece? Why are you back again?”
Xiao Qing looked at her, a dark glint in her eyes, and sneered, “Naturally, thanks to my little aunt’s blessing.”
“Looks like you have some self-awareness.” Xiao Luo strode over, her gaze falling to the suppressant patch on Xiao Qing’s neck.
The original novel said that the scum alpha liked to be abusive during her rut, so she usually never wore a suppressant patch when going to beat up Leng Youran. Now she seemed much more normal.
Xiao Qing smiled, “Little aunt, you seem different from before.”
In her memory, Xiao Luo seemed to have no distinct traits, as if she were a soulless cardboard cutout. But now this woman was living so boldly and dazzlingly.
A surge of unwillingness and anger rose in Xiao Qing, even a desire to tear this woman in front of her to pieces, bit by bit.
She suddenly recalled her past experiences torturing cats—watching the little creature struggle helplessly in her hands, dying slowly. Ah, it really made her blood boil.
Xiao Luo saw her dark, cold gaze and felt as if a poisonous snake had locked onto her. Her scalp tingled.
[Damn, is this bitch actually a pervert?] Xiao Luo cursed inwardly.
System: [Host, you need to be careful. The original scum alpha is a bit tricky to deal with. It seems she’s set her sights on you.]
Xiao Luo responded expressionlessly: [She doesn’t even know she only has three days to show up. If her perverted behavior triggers a quest during this time, I’ll make her understand the consequences of targeting me.]
She sat down as well, slowly took a sip of tea, and squinted. “Big niece, you haven’t changed a bit. Still so disgusting and detestable, just looking at you is annoying.”
“Xiao Luo, what are you saying?” Liu Xuan spoke up for her daughter.
Xiao Qing’s face darkened, her gaze unfriendly. “Little aunt, you’d better remember what you said right now. When something happens later, don’t come begging me.”
Xiao Luo blinked and said, “Are you threatening me? Fine, if anything happens from now on, I’ll pin it all on you, okay?”
“You…” Xiao Qing was momentarily furious, but then she saw Old Madam Xiao coming downstairs. She closed her mouth, thinking she’d deal with Xiao Luo later.
When Old Madam Xiao approached, Xiao Qing said politely, “Good day, Grandmother.”
Old Madam Xiao gave her granddaughter a lukewarm glance and said to Xiao Luo and Liu Xuan, “You two go back to your rooms first. I’ll have a word with her alone.”
Xiao Luo figured that Old Madam would likely agree to this granddaughter returning. After all, this was the real granddaughter, but she would be more cautious about Xiao Qing from now on.
Sure enough, half an hour later, they had settled things. When Xiao Luo came back downstairs, she saw Liu Xuan and Xiao Qing beaming and chatting animatedly.
Xiao Qing shot her a smug look and said, “Little aunt, I’m back again. Are you very disappointed?”
Xiao Luo thought to herself: You can only stay for three days, silly child. After three days, the transmigrated woman will take back your body.
She didn’t remind her, only smiled slightly. “Yeah, I really am so disappointed.”
Seeing her mocking smile, Xiao Qing felt like she had punched a ball of cotton, and frustration and irritation welled up inside her.
Old Madam Xiao noticed and spoke up. “Xiao Luo, come to my study for a moment.”
Xiao Luo followed Old Madam to the study. The old lady sat in her chair and looked at her. “Xiao Luo, are you angry with me for this approach?”
“No,” Xiao Luo shook her head.
Old Madam Xiao laughed, “You’re my daughter. How can I not tell? You’re angry, blaming me for letting that ingrate come back.”
Xiao Luo muttered, “Alright, maybe a little. She is your granddaughter, after all.”
“So what if she’s my granddaughter? Isn’t she still an ingrate?” Old Madam Xiao said calmly. “I looked into what my real granddaughter did before. The old her and the new her are no different—both scum. I’ve decided to keep her right under my nose. If she causes trouble again, I’ll personally send her to the police station.”
Such a person couldn’t be left to endanger society.
Xiao Luo couldn’t help clapping and laughing. “Mom, then you have to keep your word.”
“Alright, it’s a deal.” Old Madam Xiao smiled, then looked up. “Have you differentiated?”
Xiao Luo nodded. “Yes, yesterday.”
Old Madam Xiao’s expression showed both surprise and a frown. “Then Professor Xia and you, have you already…”
“Oh, don’t bring that up. It’s so embarrassing.” Xiao Luo was a bit shy and changed the subject. “Mom, Professor and I haven’t gotten our marriage certificate yet. We plan to do it in a few days.”
Old Madam Xiao looked both pained and worried. “You haven’t even gotten the certificate and you already… Professor Xia is a gland specialist. Couldn’t she bear it a little?”
In the old lady’s view, marking before marriage and certification was absolutely not allowed.
Xiao Luo thought to herself: It was me who couldn’t resist. But that would be too embarrassing to say out loud, so she kept quiet.
Old Madam Xiao also mentioned that in a few days, she would host a newcomers’ banquet for them, inviting high society to attend, so the entire circle would know that Xiao Luo had differentiated into an omega and was engaged to Professor Xia Lingyu.
Xiao Luo refused several times, but Old Madam Xiao stubbornly insisted, so she had to compromise.
At five in the afternoon, Xia Lingyu was in her office handling work. Actually, most of her work was done; she was only waiting for a few students to come and hand over their projects.
She glanced at her watch, wondering if Xiao Luo was still lazing around in the apartment, and whether her body was still aching.
Maybe she should buy some of Xiao Luo’s favorite dishes later to cheer her up.
Xia Lingyu’s lips unconsciously curled into a smile.
“Professor—” The assistant outside knocked on the door, her voice carrying a hint of puzzlement. “There’s a woman named Xiao Luo. She says she’s your wife and wants to see you.”
Xia Lingyu paused, then said, “Let her in, quickly.”
The assistant’s eyes widened in disbelief. Professor Xia had a wife?!
She immediately opened the door for Xiao Luo. “Miss, this way, please.”
As she spoke, she quickly sized Xiao Luo up, silently complaining: When did Professor Xia sneakily get a girlfriend? And now she suddenly had such a beautiful wife!
Xiao Luo winked at her. “Thank you~”
“You’re welcome, Master’s Wife, no need to thank me.” The assistant’s eyes sparkled as she stared at her.
Hearing the title “Master’s Wife,” Xiao Luo couldn’t help but laugh, then stepped inside.
“Professor~” Seeing Xia Lingyu, Xiao Luo pounced to act cute. “I missed you so much~”
Xia Lingyu opened her arms and held her, pulling her onto her lap. Her voice was extremely gentle. “I missed you too. Why did you come when I’m almost off work? You could have waited for me at home.”
Xiao Luo turned sideways, wrapped her arms around her neck, and bent to kiss her forehead, smiling. “I wanted to leave work with you.”
“Professor, can you smell my pheromones?”
Xia Lingyu closed her eyes. She indeed felt it—Xiao Luo’s pheromones made her body tingle with desire, a surge of impulse.
“Heat is really unpleasant. I put on a suppressant patch, but I still think Professor’s fingers work best.” Xiao Luo whispered in her ear.
Xia Lingyu’s gaze deepened, her voice hoarse. “Don’t worry, baby, I’ll handle it when we get back. I’ll make sure to feed you well.”
An omega in heat is a succubus, the kind that can drain a person dry. But Xia Lingyu was willing.
“Mmm… why go home? There’s only the two of us here.” Xiao Luo lowered her head and kissed her neck.
Xia Lingyu felt a jolt of electricity shoot from her neck, making her body tremble.
Today, Xiao Luo wore a dress. Sitting on Xia Lingyu’s lap made certain things very convenient.
She felt the professor’s fingers brush against her skin, but at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
The assistant’s voice came, nervous and stammering. “Professor, they’re here.”
The alluring atmosphere in the office immediately dissipated.
Xia Lingyu said helplessly, “Let them in.”
When the students entered, they happened to see Xiao Luo rising from their Professor Xia’s lap.
The scene completely stunned everyone.
Xia Lingyu cleared her throat and introduced, “This is your Master’s Wife, my wife.”
The interns: …
This was even more absurd than the sky falling! Especially Gu Jia, whose mouth was already an O shape.
Then they all greeted Xiao Luo cheerfully. “Hello, Master’s Wife!”
Xiao Luo smiled. “Hello everyone. I’m here to pick up your professor from work. I’m not interrupting you, am I?”
“No no no, not at all. We’re just here to pick up materials.”
“Yeah, yeah, it looks like we’re the ones disturbing you and the professor, hehe.”
Xia Lingyu’s expression turned rather grim, her voice cold. “You few, come get your materials. Then I’ll go over each of your problems one by one.”
The interns’ faces fell. They went forward, took the materials, and were scolded one after another, heads hanging low.
Xiao Luo cut in, “Alright, Professor, don’t be so strict. Even I’m getting scared.”
Hearing Xiao Luo say that, Xia Lingyu’s expression softened a little. Finally, she said, “You may go now. If there’s anything you don’t understand, contact me directly.”
The interns’ eyes lit up, and they quickly said:
“Thank you, Professor.”
“Thank you, Master’s Wife!”
Then, as if a heavy burden was lifted, they all bolted and vanished in an instant.
