Chapter 49 Celebrating Victory

Xu Lingzhao gently pulled Chu Jingze into her arms. She closed her eyes, enjoying the tranquility. The Omega's pheromones relaxed her completely. Her lips pressed against his warm skin. "It's a success. It's over."

“My Alpha is really amazing.” He raised his head slightly, rested his chin on her shoulder, and reached out to hug her slender waist. “Minister Lu told me that she is waiting for us at headquarters.”

"No rush, we still have a day to go." She nuzzled against his neck like a kitten. "Did you miss me?"

"Hmm... a little." His eyes were smiling. He didn't know why the Alpha had suddenly become so clingy, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. She was like a large cat.

"Only a little bit? I'm so sad." Xu Lingzhao grabbed his knees and lifted Chu Jingze up, his legs wrapped around her waist in a sloth hug. She heard his soft gasp. The Omega wrapped his arms around her neck, his eyes slightly unfocused. "You...you...what are you doing? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't just think about you a little bit, I thought about you a lot."

Xu Lingzhao smiled with satisfaction after hearing his words. The bed was just a few steps away, but she didn't put Omega down. Instead, she held him and walked slowly in the space where they were alone. "It's time to leave, baby."

"Where are we going?" Chu Jing tilted his head, his eyes sparkling.

"Hmm, I don't know either, but we'll definitely be together." The Alpha looked earnestly at the person whose face was practically overflowing with anticipation, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes. This journey, just like her transformation from a human to an Alpha, involved losing her memories, which would only be restored under specific conditions. However, their bodies and souls would not perish.

This is Xu Lingzhao's greatest source of confidence.

She needs to travel through multiple worlds to kill the Queen's clones until she completely destroys her.

"You said we'll lose our memories, so when will I be able to regain them?" The expectant look on his face faded considerably, and he pouted slightly, his eyebrows furrowing. "What if you don't regain your memories and end up with someone else!" His eyes became resentful, and he turned his face slightly away, deliberately avoiding looking at Xu Lingzhao.

Xu Lingzhao kissed his soft cheek, his lips brushing against his rounded earlobe, his voice low and sexy, "I will regain my memory before you. Then I will come to find you and help you regain your memory too. I promise, I will not be with anyone else, only you. Believe me, baby."

Her kisses landed lightly on his cheeks and neck, just like a dragonfly skimming the water. The Omega's intention to avoid looking at the Alpha's profile was conveniently taken advantage of by Xu Lingzhao.

His ears turned red from her coaxing, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, watery. The Omega bit his lower lip lightly and covered her mischievous lips with his hand, "Okay, okay, I believe you, don't kiss me anymore."

Xu Lingzhao was charmed by his actions. Although she stopped kissing him, she still kissed his palm and held Omega quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the vast universe.

The Omega rested his fluffy head on her shoulder, listening to her soft breathing. The tranquility at this moment surpassed everything, and a sweet feeling welled up in his heart. He wanted to be with her forever, no matter which world or timeline Xu Lingzhao she was in, she could only belong to him.

In the headquarters lobby, as soon as the news of Xu Lingzhao's success reached the Federation, Lu Qianxue had already begun preparing a grand feast for her, which everyone in the Federation could participate in. The enthusiasm of the crowd was unprecedented, and many people spontaneously hosted banquets. However, after Lu Qianxue found out, she still distributed double the allowance.

Lu Qianxue named this day Victory Day, and designated the next five days as federal public holidays to celebrate the end of the endless war between the Federation and the Zerg, and to praise their great commander-in-chief for everything he had done for the Federation.

The large banquet hall was bustling with people, and unlike usual, everyone's face was beaming with smiles. Lu Qianxue looked at everything with satisfaction, but after the joy came a slight sense of loss. Xu Lingzhao said that she would take over as the overall commander after she left, and she asked how long she would be gone.

She shook her head and said she didn't know either. Perhaps this was the last time they would see each other in this life? She had her mission, and all Lu Qianxue could do was support her and protect the Pasifica Federation that she had created.

As Lu Qianxue was lost in thought, her hand was suddenly taken. She looked down and met Jin Chenyu's bright eyes. "What are you thinking about?"

Alpha shook her head slightly and squeezed the hand back. "I'm wondering when they'll arrive."

Jin Chenyu smiled faintly, not replying to Lu Qianxue's words. Her Alpha was always like this, but it didn't matter. He always had a way to get her to talk. Just as he was thinking, the Omega felt his lips being covered by soft lips, but they quickly left. This time, it was his turn to have his brain freeze.

In front of everyone, Lu Qianxue actually kissed him! Jin Chenyu felt his face flush and his temperature rise rapidly. He shook her hand, "Commander Lu, can't you be a little more mindful of your image!"

"Hmm? Didn't I notice?" she asked knowingly, but then changed the subject, "I'll tell you what I'm thinking tonight, so don't be upset, baby."

So, she was just trying to comfort him. Jin Chenyu coughed lightly. Didn't he just smile? His gaze unconsciously drifted towards the door, and he squeezed Lu Qianxue's hand. "They're here."

Lu Qianxue followed the Omega's gaze, a gossipy smile unconsciously appearing on her face. He Zaining was walking in the middle with Ji Siyu by the hand, He Zaining was holding Huo Qi's hand on the right, and Ling Qianzhu was holding Su Fuying's hand on the left. She herself was holding Jin Chenyu's hand. The scene looked exactly like a family gathering.

When Xu Lingzhao arrives, she will definitely be holding Chu Jingze's hand.

Ji Siyu looked at He Zaining holding his hand, his palms slightly sweaty. He couldn't help but lean close to He Zaining's ear and ask, "Is it really appropriate for me to come here?"

He Zaining glanced at the somewhat uncomfortable person and said with a slight parting of her thin lips, "What's inappropriate about it? Be brave enough to take responsibility for your actions, okay?" Hearing her words, Ji Siyu was furious, but he dared not speak out. These days, He Zaining had lost her previous gentleness and tenderness towards him and instead locked him in his room, not letting him go out.

She smashed his personal computer to cut off his contact with the outside world. He covered his lower abdomen with his hand; he was pregnant. Ji Siyu knew that everything she did was to punish him. Well, he deserved to be punished, after all, he had really done something inhuman. At first, he thought that He Zaining no longer loved him and just wanted to punish him, but he felt that he was doomed.

However, the truth is that He Zaining was indeed very rough, but the tenderness that overflowed in his eyes at the moment he became pregnant was undeniable, especially when he secretly put a ring on his ring finger while holding him to sleep at night.

He Zaining looked at the silent Omega, then stopped, clutching his stomach. "What's wrong? Is your stomach upset?" he asked with concern. Ji Siyu quickly shook his head and mumbled, "No..."

Ji Siyu's submissive demeanor successfully pleased He Zaining. She put her arm around his shoulder and said, "Cheer up, I'll reward you tonight." Upon hearing this, Ji Siyu almost couldn't move. He really didn't want He Zaining's reward.

Pei Zhenwei watched their sweet and affectionate interaction and clicked her tongue in admiration. Ji Siyu was really amazing; even in that situation, she still managed to charm He Zaining. Soon, they met up with Lu Qianxue and moved to a private room to talk.

The group of people got together and couldn't stop talking. They quickly became very talkative. The most exciting news was that He Zaining announced Ji Siyu's pregnancy in public. Just as they were stunned, there was a knock on the door.

"What's making you all so surprised?" Xu Lingzhao's voice came from the doorway of the private room. Everyone stood up at the same time. Lu Qianxue walked up to her. "Why are you here so much earlier than expected?"

Xu Lingzhao looked at her with a smile, "Of course I want to see you all." As she spoke, she pulled Chu Jingze to sit down, and Pei Zhenwei immediately said exaggeratedly, "I didn't expect that among us, Zhaozhao was the first to get married and Ningning was the first to have a child."

Her words immediately warmed up the atmosphere again. Xu Lingzhao nodded and looked at the two of them. "That's good." But her hand unconsciously slipped into Chu Jingze's coat and gently pinched his waist. She whispered in his ear, "Looks like we need to work harder too."

Before Chu Jingze could even cast a coquettish glance his way, Xu Lingzhao deliberately avoided his gaze to tease him, but her eyes inadvertently drifted to Su Fuying. "And who is this?"

Ling Qianzhu coughed lightly a few times, her usually cold face now beaming with joy. She put her arm around Su Fuying's shoulder and introduced him to Xu Lingzhao, "This is my Omega, Su Fuying."

Xu Lingzhao stopped him from standing up and nodded slightly. "I'm relieved to see that everyone has a partner."

The banquet begins.

Chu Jing, dressed in a formal gown, walked onto the stage arm in arm with Xu Lingzhao under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Her lover's speech was in her ears, spotlights shone on them, and countless cameras were in front of them.

As Xu Lingzhao calmly delivered her speech, she put her arm around Omega's shoulder. At the moment when countless applause erupted, she lowered her head and kissed Chu Jingze's forehead—"Thank you for standing by my side all this way."

Chu Jing stared blankly at Xu Lingzhao, no longer able to hear the applause that was even louder than before. He could only hear Xu Lingzhao's confession to him. She publicly acknowledged his identity, proving that he was not a delicate flower that would only cling to her. He couldn't help but hug Xu Lingzhao.

He had always been aware of what people were saying, that he was not good enough for Xu Lingzhao, but he didn't care about any of that. The only person he cared about was the one in front of him.

Xu Lingzhao led the dizzy man off the stage to a secluded spot, skillfully placing his hand on his soft waist and gently kissing his lips. Their breaths mingled, and Xu Lingzhao felt he could never get enough of kissing him.

They had spent eight years together, and their love had never faded but had only grown stronger with time. Chu Jing was so overwhelmed by their kisses that he could barely stand. In his dazed state, he heard his lover say to him in a very gentle and tender voice, "I love you, no matter where I am, no matter if I lose my memory, I will love you, my treasure."
