Chapter 47: Fated Omega, Love Me Again Part 1

“Hehehe… Professor, Master’s Wife, please continue. I’m clocking out too.” The assistant wore an aunt-like knowing grin and tactfully closed the door for them as she left.

Xia Lingyu gave a cold snort. “All of them, nothing but sweet-talking flatterers.”

Xiao Luo chided, “What kind of thing is that to say? They’re so polite and well-behaved. How can you bear to criticize them so harshly?”

Hearing that her wife was displeased, Xia Lingyu quickly said, “Alright, let’s not talk about them. Shall we head back too?”

She stood up, took Xiao Luo’s hand, and they walked out the door into the hallway. Her group of students hadn’t gone far; they were gathered in a cluster by the elevator, whispering excitedly about something.

“You didn’t see the way the Professor looked at Master’s Wife. Her gaze was practically spinning silk threads…”

“It was insane. Professor Xia usually looks at us like she’s throwing knives. I suspect she’s just a big ice cube, but the moment Master’s Wife said one thing to her, she immediately switched to gentle mode.”

“If we’d arrived a step later, I bet something intense would’ve definitely happened inside.”

“Like what…” Several heads huddled closer together, continuing their gossip.

“Ahem—” Xia Lingyu deliberately cleared her throat from behind them.

The interns scattered like a flock of startled birds, faces pale as they smiled nervously. “Professor, Master’s Wife, you came out so quickly?”

Xia Lingyu’s gaze was unfriendly. “What else? Did you think I was planning to spend the night in the office?”

“Haha, of course not. How could we possibly think that?”

The interns laughed awkwardly, extremely restrained.

The elevator had already arrived. Xia Lingyu and Xiao Luo stepped inside. Seeing them still dawdling outside, she asked, “The elevator’s here. Aren’t you coming in?”

“No, no, thank you, Professor. There are too many of us. We’ll wait for the next one.”

“Yes, yes, Professor and Master’s Wife, you go ahead. We don’t mind waiting a bit longer.”

Xiao Luo smiled slightly and waved at them. “Alright then, goodbye.”

“Goodbye, Master’s Wife.”

“Goodbye, Professor.”

The elevator doors closed. Xiao Luo said to Xia Lingyu, “See? You’re always so strict. The students aren’t close to you. You should smile more.”

She reached out and pinched Xia Lingyu’s cheek.

Xia Lingyu caught her wrist and smiled helplessly. “Alright, I’ll pay more attention to that from now on. What do you want to eat tonight?”

“Hmm… I don’t know either. How about we go to the supermarket and look around together?”

“Alright, let’s go shopping together.”

The two arrived at the supermarket. Xia Lingyu pushed the cart while Xiao Luo was in charge of selecting items. They reached the seafood section. Xiao Luo looked at the fish in the tank and said, “I feel like eating fish. Professor, can you make steamed bass?”

Xia Lingyu paused, then smiled. “I haven’t made it before, but I can give it a try. I’ll make it for you when we get back.”

A nearby sales assistant noticed the sweet couple and couldn’t help smiling. “Misses, do you need me to net a bass for you?”

“Yes, thank you for the trouble.” Xia Lingyu nodded.

The assistant picked up the net, scooped up a fish, and explained how to prepare steamed bass as she worked.

Xia Lingyu listened very attentively and said, “Okay, thank you.”

“Haha, no need to thank me. It’s my job.” The assistant added, “This is the first time I’ve ever seen a couple this good-looking. You’re a perfect match…”

“Thank you.” Xia Lingyu couldn’t help smiling as she took the bagged bass from the assistant.

“Alright, baby, let’s go home.” She held Xiao Luo’s hand and retraced their steps.

As they walked, they suddenly ran into acquaintances.

Liao Xueyuan and Leng Youran were also pushing a small cart, happily selecting items together.

“Youran, those are your favorite beef balls. Let’s get more.”

“No need. Too much and we won’t finish them.” Leng Youran said softly. She suddenly looked up and spotted Xiao Luo and Xia Lingyu.

“Miss Xiao Luo.” Leng Youran was slightly surprised, a pleased smile appearing on her face. “What a coincidence, running into you here.”

Liao Xueyuan also looked up. She saw Xia Lingyu dressed in a clean, sharp suit, looking every bit the elite professional—her right hand, adorned with an expensive watch, holding a live, flopping bass.

The image was too striking. Liao Xueyuan was stunned for a long moment before reacting.

“Eldest Miss Xiao, Professor Xia, you’re here shopping too?”

Xia Lingyu nodded. “Mm.”

Knowing the Professor was a woman of few words, Liao Xueyuan took the initiative. “Professor, next month is my wedding banquet with Youran. You absolutely must come and drink to our happiness then. Oh, and Eldest Miss Xiao, please come together.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Luo suddenly heard the system notification in her mind: 【Quest Triggered——Ensure that Liao Xueyuan and Leng Youran complete their wedding smoothly.】

Xiao Luo paused, then said with a smile, “We’ll definitely be there. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage~”

A hint of a smile also appeared on Xia Lingyu’s face. “Congratulations on your marriage.”

Leng Youran and Liao Xueyuan were both very happy and said, “Thank you. Professor, you two continue shopping. We’re off to buy other things.”

The two nodded towards Xiao Luo and her companion, then continued pushing their cart away.

Watching their retreating figures, a flicker of envy crossed Xia Lingyu’s face. She turned her head to glance at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo folded her arms. “What are you looking at me for?”

Xia Lingyu said, “Wife, when can we go get the marriage license?”

“Marriage license?” Xiao Luo’s eyes darted around playfully. She smiled and asked, “You want to marry me?”

Xia Lingyu smiled softly. “Of course. We’ve already marked each other. You’re my omega, and I’m your alpha.”

Xiao Luo said, “We haven’t even had a wedding, and you’re already thinking about the license?”

Xia Lingyu was taken aback for a moment, then said, “Then let’s have the wedding first, then get the license, alright?”

Xiao Luo gave a light snort. “Professor, is that any way to propose? It’s not romantic at all.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Xia furrowed her brows deeply in thought, seemingly pondering what exactly counted as romantic. She recalled those online proposal videos—some people took their girlfriends to amusement parks or cinemas, others meticulously prepared an exquisite dinner, bringing out the ring near the end of the date and saying, ‘Baby, marry me.’

Although it looked quite romantic, the thing was… she and Xiao Luo had already done the dating thing countless times. Imitating that would lack any novelty and couldn’t really be considered romantic.

Just as she was racking her brain, Xiao Luo reached out and smoothed the furrow between her brows. “Alright, alright, don’t think about it anymore. We’ve already done everything. What’s one little certificate going to matter?”

“How can you say that?” Xia Lingyu blurted out, sounding somewhat dissatisfied. Realizing her tone had been a bit harsh, she softened her voice. “Baby, I love you, so I want to give you the best. Marriage has important meaning. Once we’re married, we’ll be legal wives in the eyes of the law. No one will be able to separate us.”

Xiao Luo was somewhat moved by these words. She said quietly, “Mom said she’ll hold a newcomers’ banquet for us in a few days to announce that I’ve become an omega, and at the same time, she’ll announce that you are my fiancée.”

Xia Lingyu’s eyes flickered with emotion upon hearing this. “The Madam is far too considerate. We’ll visit the Xiao Residence then. I must personally thank the Madam.”

As for the wedding and the banquet, she would handle the arrangements herself.

The two returned home. Xia Lingyu carried the ingredients into the kitchen, and Xiao Luo went to help.

When it was time to deal with the bass, Xia Lingyu nudged Xiao Luo out. “Baby, go sit on the sofa outside first. I’ll handle this fish myself.”

Xiao Luo truly didn’t want to do the killing, but she wanted to see how Xia Lingyu would handle the bass, so she simply stood at the doorway.

She watched Xia Lingyu roll up her sleeves, pick up the fish with her left hand and place it on the cutting board, and take up the cleaver with her right. Quickly and efficiently, she smacked the fish’s head several times with the back of the knife, then scraped the scales…

Xiao Luo walked over to take a curious look. The bass was already fully prepared. Side dishes were chopped and laid out, ready to be put into the wok.

“Has the Professor killed fish before?”

Xia Lingyu lowered her eyes and smiled. “No.”

Xiao Luo poked the fish head. “Then how did you clean this fish so thoroughly?”

Xia Lingyu said, “I am a doctor, after all. I perform dissections frequently. Handling one fish is no trouble at all.”

Xiao Luo watched her long, elegant fingers and couldn’t help swallowing.

“What is it?” Xia Lingyu turned her head to meet her gaze.

Xiao Luo said, “Professor, if I ever make a mistake, you wouldn’t take me apart like this fish, would you?”

The corner of Xia Lingyu’s mouth curled up. “Of course I wouldn’t take you apart like this.”

“Then how?” Xiao Luo asked, a bit apprehensively.

Xia Lingyu pinched her cheek with her fingers, leaned in close, and said, “Naturally, I’d use my fingers. Tie you to the bed and make you cry, without holding back…”

Just the thought of such a scene made Xiao Luo’s heart pound uncontrollably. She didn’t know if she was promiscuous or had some special kink, but she actually felt a trace of anticipation.

“So hateful.” Xiao Luo glared at her. “You got fish smell all over my face.”

Xia Lingyu chuckled. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it. Go wash your face quickly.”

Who told the little one to question her character? Did she look like a brute? At worst, she was merely a beast in fine clothing.

Xiao Luo snorted and turned to go wash her face in the bathroom. After washing, she turned her back to the mirror and glanced at her gland again. It was still a bit red and swollen. Her heat seemed not to have passed yet. Tonight, she would still need Xia Lingyu to help her find relief.

“Dinner’s ready.” Xia Lingyu brought out all the dishes she had prepared.

A table full of delicious food. Xiao Luo found she had quite an appetite. She had to admit, Xia Lingyu’s cooking was much better than hers. Even the steamed bass, made for the first time, was extremely tasty.

The meat was tender, succulent, and juicy. Xia Lingyu even specially picked out the bones for her, placing the fish meat in her bowl.

“Thank you, wife,” Xiao Luo said.

Xia Lingyu said, “You need more protein during your heat. You’ve gotten thinner recently.”

Xiao Luo shot her a glance. “So you do know I’m still in heat, huh?”

“Of course. Baby must be holding back really hard, right?” Xia Lingyu’s voice was tinged with huskiness. “Later, shall we go to the balcony, or the bedroom, or the bathroom?”

Xiao Luo nearly spat out her mouthful of rice. After steadying herself, she cast a glance at the other woman that was half-rejection, half-invitation, and whispered, “Professor, how can you make me do multiple choice? An adult wants them all, of course.”

Xia Lingyu’s eyes darkened. “You said it yourself. Don’t regret it.”

A hint of shyness on her face, Xiao Luo nodded. “Of course I won’t regret it.”

She and Xia Lingyu discussed the plan: first the balcony, then the bedroom, and finally the bathroom to conveniently shower and end the night.

The balcony had floor-to-ceiling windows. With the windows closed, people outside could barely see in, but from inside, one could see everything outside with perfect clarity.
