Chapter 38

Strange Timelines and Worlds

Whether it was Mi Rui'an's words that swayed her, or the entertainment props Mi Rui'an mentioned that worked, or... Wei Jiangxue truly harbored illicit thoughts?

Just as Miruan had hoped, Alpha's hands moved, a cool, itchy sensation moving from his forehead to his cheeks, then to his neck, and then across his chest and abdomen.

Wherever it goes, it spreads like wildfire.

Two voices rang in her mind. One tempted Wei Jiangxue to continue to succumb and enjoy the pleasure of the moment, even if it was only for a fleeting instant.

A voice urged her to remain calm and see that Mi Rui'an's actions were intentional. Was it really what Wei Jiangxue wanted if the two of them became entangled like this? There were still many issues between them to resolve, such as Wei Jiangxue's confused and incomplete memories.

Even if we were to believe Mi Rui'an's side of the story, is it really appropriate to have intimate contact with her at this time?

"What are you hesitating about?" Mi Rui'an noticed that Wei Jiangxue was lost in thought, and gently bit the latter's earlobe. "Don't you love me anymore? Don't you like me anymore? Although you don't remember me, your body seems to still remember me. So, no matter how you deny it, I won't believe that you have no feelings for me."

A sudden pain made Wei Jiangxue, who was in a daze, take a deep breath and look up while holding back her tears. Mi Rui'an was looking at her defiantly, and the teeth marks on his chest were particularly obvious.

"Are you... a dog?" Wei Jiangxue looked at Mi Rui'an in disbelief.

“You can bite back, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” Mi Rui’an’s expression was extremely sincere, but Wei Jiangxue knew that she was full of bad intentions.

Wei Jiangxue glared at Mi Rui'an with annoyance, but couldn't bring herself to bite back.

She only complained softly, while Mi Rui'an smiled and pressed his face against her chest, giving her a provocative kiss.

Your heart is beating so fast.

The culprit behind this phenomenon feigned innocence, waiting for Wei Jiangxue to give more feedback.

"Isn't your heart beating fast?" Wei Jiangxue asked, her face flushed and her words stammering.

“That’s all because of you. I get like this whenever I see you,” Mi Rui’an said. “How about I get a little reward? Considering how much I like you?”

“I…” Wei Jiangxue wanted to refute, but considering that she had indeed married Mi Rui’an, there was no evidence to prove that she did not like Mi Rui’an.

But why did Wei Jiangxue accept being with Mi Rui'an?

Wei Jiangxue naturally asked this question.

“You want to know about our past? Okay, make me happy and I’ll tell you,” Mi Rui’an said confidently.

"What can make you happy?" Wei Jiangxue asked.

"Isn't that simple? My wish has been quite obvious, hasn't it? Do you really want me to say it out loud?" Mi Rui'an rubbed her cheek against her collarbone, kissing her randomly like a chick pecking at rice.

It goes without saying. Wei Jiangxue turned her head away, slightly embarrassed. It was obvious that Mi Rui'an wanted her to continue doing it.

As her body's reaction intensified, Wei Jiangxue began to wish she could touch Mi Rui'an's cool skin to cool her down.

The only reason Wei Jiangxue can still engage in verbal sparring with Mi Rui'an is because she's putting on a brave face.

So, should we compromise and start seeking the truth from Mi Rui'an?

While thinking this, Wei Jiangxue had already given her answer.

She awkwardly and stiffly kissed Mi Rui'an's lips.

Nonsense, why not take the shortcut? Wei Jiangxue isn't stupid. Let's not worry about the consequences, let's give it a try.

Moreover, she vaguely realized that Mi Rui'an would be her antidote, and she didn't feel that much aversion towards Mi Rui'an, in fact...

Wei Jiangxue felt a slight attraction to Mi Rui'an's appearance.

They will become partners in the future, and it's definitely not without any emotional foundation. Is it possible that it was initially lust at first sight, or covetousness for Mi Rui'an's wealth?

Wei Jiangxue occasionally drifted off into daydreams, but most of the time, she was searching for things that could make Mi Rui'an happy.

For example, when fingertips lightly glide across Mi Rui'an's lower back, her waist always trembles slightly.

Even when her core wasn't engaged, the lines of her abdominal muscles were still visible. Wei Jiangxue couldn't resist touching it, repeatedly rubbing the indentation with her fingertips, listening to Mi Rui'an's dissatisfied groans.

Next came her soft, flat abdomen. Wei Jiangxue turned her head and pressed her face against it, feeling the slight trembling of Mi Rui'an's body.

Mi Rui'an seemed dissatisfied, but Wei Jiangxue knew that since she didn't stop her, she must like it.

Mi Rui'an went limp like a lump of crystal mud, her strength completely gone. She could only gasp for breath, her eyes half-closed as she looked at Wei Jiangxue. Wei Jiangxue pressed herself against her completely. The soft flesh of the women's bodies trembled and squeezed together, the fabric was pushed aside and piled up, maximizing skin-to-skin contact.

Wei Jiangxue's hands didn't feel sore at all; instead, she found a strange kind of pleasure in them.

"Does it feel good?" Wei Jiangxue pinched Mi Rui'an's lower abdomen again, admiring the blush on the latter's face.

Wei Jiangxue stopped dawdling and moved closer to Mi Rui'an, whispering in her ear, "Actually, sometimes your expression is quite alluring."

The scents of freesia and rose become increasingly cloying and sweet.

The beads of sweat glistened under the light, making everything sticky and damp. Wei Jiangxue wiped away the sweat from herself and Mi Rui'an with the back of her hand, then gently applied it to Mi Rui'an's lower abdomen.

*

Wei Jiangxue's timeline has changed again, and she is acutely aware of this—because her height has shrunk to 1.35 meters.

It must have been during the lower grades of elementary school.

As tears welled up in Mi Rui'an's eyes, Wei Jiangxue felt a wave of dizziness. When she opened her eyes, the scene around her had changed.

After a quick assessment of her own condition and environment, Wei Jiangxue was certain that she was currently in the same role as Mi Rui'an as an elementary school classmate, follower, and playmate.

So... is it possible that she could also see a younger version of Mi Rui'an?

Wei Jiangxue's first thought was of the young lady who seemed to love her very much.

But the bedroom she was in was very small, and it didn't seem like Mi Rui'an's territory at all. So, whose room was this?

After searching through all the items in the small bedroom, Wei Jiangxue confirmed that this was the room where she and...her mother lived.

Strange? Mom? Wei Jiangxue felt the word was unfamiliar, as if she hadn't addressed anyone like that in a long time.

But soon, Wei Jiangxue began to look forward to meeting her mother again. She had met Mi Rui'an when she grew up, but she had never met her mother and had no related memories in her mind. It was a complete blank.

So, what does Mom actually look like?

Wei Jiangxue waited in the bedroom for a while, but the person she hoped to see did not push the door open and enter. The room was eerily quiet.

Wei Jiangxue opened the door and looked into the quiet corridor.

The brightly colored, irregularly patterned tiles were neatly embedded in the floor, complementing the wallpaper pattern on the wall without a single messy mark, which pleased Wei Jiangxue, who has a slight case of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The doors to the other rooms in the corridor were all locked. At the end of the corridor was a pane of clear glass with sheer curtains drawn, letting in only a hazy white light. There were walls on both sides, but the outline of the stair railing was vaguely visible on the left.

Wei Jiangxue's room was at the other end of this floor, so she decided to go over and see what was going on with this timeline.

The green plants on the wall hung down with long, drooping branches, emitting a sweet fragrance. Wei Jiangxue walked forward, inhaling the fragrance of the flowers.

Although they are not roses, they all exude the fragrance of roses and subtly convey emotions such as fear, irritability, and anger.

Wei Jiangxue quickened her pace, wanting to escape the strange atmosphere.

Did I live in a house that looked rich but felt haunted when I was a child? Wei Jiangxue thought to herself, that can't be right.

An instinct told her that this was not her home.

As for Mi Rui'an, Wei Jiangxue is not worried for the time being, as Mi Rui'an certainly doesn't live here.

She needs to find her mother first and take her away; living in this haunted house is so creepy!

But no matter what, Wei Jiangxue could not reach the location of that glass. It was as if, for every meter Wei Jiangxue moved, the end suddenly darted ten meters away.

This really is a case of "the harder you try, the more unlucky you get".

She was doing completely useless work in a long, endless corridor.

Wei Jiangxue became more and more puzzled, so she simply sat down. What kind of place is this? How come she just came out of one exciting timeline and immediately entered another?

The former is a physical and sensory experience, while the latter is a mental test.

Wei Jiangxue wasn't afraid of ghosts, but she valued her life and didn't want to die running in this corridor.

After resting for a while and feeling her strength returning, she slowly began to move towards the end of the corridor, while keeping an eye on the locked doors.

The first three doors remained silent until the fourth door finally made a sound – the sound of a ball bouncing.

Hearing the obvious sounds coming from inside, Wei Jiangxue called out happily, "Hey, is anyone there? Can someone help me? I want to go downstairs."

There was no movement behind the door; the sound of the ball bouncing disappeared.

Wei Jiangxue pursed her lips. Even if she didn't want to help, she shouldn't have pretended not to hear.

She gave up decisively and walked to the next door, from which she heard voices.

Wei Jiangxue didn't rush to call out; she leaned forward and eavesdropped.

"I've already said this child isn't normal, let's have a second child soon and make other plans!"

“We will raise her well. Although she is a flawed Omega, her most important identity is that of my daughter.”

Wei Jiangxue only heard these two seemingly unrelated sentences. She was confused for a moment and didn't know who was talking.

It looks like they're arguing inside, so she'd better not go in and disturb them.

Through the sixth door, Wei Jiangxue heard the voices that had just been heard in the fifth room.

"An'an, you must study hard so that no one will dare to question your decisions. It's okay if you can't do it, Mom will protect you."

That name intrigued Wei Jiangxue. Could it be a coincidence?

She shook her head and continued to the next door. However, the information from the seventh door stunned Wei Jiangxue, because the voice inside was related to her.

"...She passed away unexpectedly, and her child is still living in the house. I heard the child is an excellent student and has good character. Considering how much she worked for us, let's adopt the child. Besides, the child is about the same age as An'an, so they might be able to play together."

"I remember... that child's name was Wei Jiangxue, right?"

Wei Jiangxue's mind raced as she tried to decipher the strange noises behind the doors, but before she could figure it out, the eighth door opened automatically—
