Chapter 34
"You haven't held her in a long time, she's shy around strangers." Ji Mingfei took the child from Chu Yue's arms and calmed her down with a few simple words of comfort.
Looking at the mother and daughter, Chu Yue felt a growing chasm between them. She didn't know when it started, but even though they video-chatted every night and often exchanged sweet nothings, that intimate feeling was gone.
Polite, yet distant.
"Mr. Chu, Madam, dinner is ready. We can eat now."
Ji Mingfei put June into the stroller and then went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She had just turned on the tap when Chu Yue leaned against the door, looking at her through the mirror, until Ji Mingfei noticed the person behind her.
"Do you want to wash your hands too?" Ji Mingfei asked with a smile.
Chu Yue walked up behind Ji Mingfei, hugged her from behind, put her hands under the faucet, and said in a serious but affectionate tone, "You help me wash."
"What are you doing? I haven't washed my hands like this in June." Ji Mingfei slapped Chu Yue with his soapy hands, his slippery fingers suddenly filled with the other's fingers.
Chu Yue's hand slowly slid between Ji Mingfei's fingers until foam was evenly applied to his palms and the backs of his hands.
"You're done washing, turn on the tap," Chu Yue urged, resting her chin on Ji Mingfei's shoulder and tilting her head.
Ji Mingfei exhaled as softly as possible, lifted the switch, and the icy water fell onto their hands.
Amidst the rushing water, Chu Yue whispered in Ji Mingfei's ear, "Thank goodness, you're not as shy as June."
After rinsing off the soap, Chu Yue let go of Ji Mingfei, dried her hands, and went outside. Ji Mingfei stared blankly in the mirror, feeling lost, with Chu Yue's body heat and faint perfume still lingering on her back.
After lunch, the nanny cleaned up the kitchen and left. Ji Mingfei held June in her arms and coaxed her to sleep in the bedroom. Even after the child fell asleep, she lay on the bed staring blankly at June's face.
After a month apart, she had forgotten how to be alone with Chu Yue. And as his legal wife, she seemed unable to refuse his reasonable requests.
For example, the susceptible period.
"Is June asleep?" Chu Yue's voice suddenly rang out from behind him. Although it was very soft, it still startled the uneasy Ji Mingfei.
Ji Mingfei pulled the blanket up a little tighter for June, and answered with his back to Chu Yue, "She just fell asleep."
"If you sleep in the afternoon, won't you be bothered at night?" Chu Yue remembered that the parenting book said not to let children sleep too much during the day, and especially not to reverse their sleep schedule.
"He only sleeps for a short while during the day in June, but he's very obedient at night, basically keeping the same schedule as me." Ji Mingfei turned around, moved up a little, and took a pillow to lean against the headboard.
Chu Yue raised one leg, knelt by the bed, and then climbed onto the bed.
Ji Mingfei glanced at her, then looked down at his phone, pretending not to know what she was up to.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Yue sat down next to Ji Mingfei, leaning her head against hers to look at her phone.
Ji Mingfei, resisting Chu Yue's leaning body, replied, "TV series."
"What's your name?"
"My Omega is a Little Handsome"
"..."
Chu Yue seemed unable to understand the title of the drama. However, after seeing a beautiful girl sitting on a motorcycle on her phone, with sexy makeup and a playful hairstyle, she guessed that this must be the "somewhat handsome" omega.
"What type of alpha would make a 'couple' feel good with an omega like this?" Chu Yue asked, frowning like a stubborn old cadre.
Ji Mingfei sped up a segment, pointed at the aloof woman who had just gotten out of the car, and said, "This is the alpha protagonist."
"..."
Can this be suppressed? AO has been reversed.
“The fourth love,” Ji Mingfei explained.
Chu Yue vaguely sensed that a realm beyond her comprehension was violently kicking down the doors of the knowledge palace she had built over the past twenty years.
"What is that?" Chu Yue asked, driven by curiosity.
Ji Mingfei didn't mince words and stated bluntly, "It means the omega is on top and the alpha is on the bottom."
"…………"
This is definitely not an art form she should be involved in!
When did Ji Mingfei develop this habit? Could it be that the last time she was marked left her with some kind of psychological trauma? It's all her fault for being careless and not considering Ji Mingfei's mental health. No wonder she was in such a hurry to escape Tianyuan City; she probably just couldn't get over this mental hurdle.
What should we do?
"Um... have you been under any stress lately? You might as well tell me about it. I'll listen carefully to whatever it is."
"No!" Ji Mingfei didn't know why she suddenly brought this up, and after thinking about it, that was the only thing that came to mind. "You mean postpartum depression? I'm fine, I don't have any stress."
Chu Yue suddenly realized. And then there was postpartum depression; wouldn't that just make things worse?
"How about we go see a psychologist tomorrow? I've been under a lot of stress lately, and you can come with me. We can also get you checked out while we're at it."
Ji Mingfei didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but after Chu Yue said that, she became a little suspicious and asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with me?"
Chu Yue subconsciously glanced at the phone in her hand, which was still playing the TV series "The Fourth Love".
Ji Mingfei belatedly realized what was happening, and a series of whimsical ideas flashed through her mind. She slowly lowered her head, ran her hand through her hair to touch the glands on her neck, and imitated a line from a TV drama, saying, "I suddenly really want to try the taste of an alpha."
"..."
Chu Yue was deeply moved by her teasing, except that the wording seemed a bit off.
Chu Yue looked out the window, reminding Ji Mingfei that it was still daylight. But if she were the one to bring it up, Chu Yue certainly wouldn't spoil his fun.
Are you sure it's now?
Ji Mingfei gave her a shy look, which spoke volumes.
After understanding what was going on, Chu Yue jumped out of bed, grabbed her suitcase, and went to the neighbor's house to take a shower.
Ji Mingfei picked up her phone. The TV series "Omega" was still playing, and it was showing her ascetic alpha cornering her in an alley. The alpha's long, straight legs were lifted onto the omega's shoulders.
Ji Mingfei grinned and shook his head. This movement was too difficult and had no reference value whatsoever.
…
Chu Yue came over from next door in her pajamas after taking a shower. She couldn't wait to push open the bedroom door, where the curtains were drawn tightly shut. Stepping from the bright living room into the dark bedroom, Chu Yue was practically blind, only able to make out the blurry outline of the bed.
"Wife, where are you?"
Chu Yue walked in, using the light behind her. Her knees had barely touched the bed when the door slowly closed, and Ji Mingfei emerged from behind it, pushing the unprepared Chu Yue onto the bed and pouncing on her before she could fully react.
When the enthusiastic omega pounced on her, Chu Yue obediently lay still, and her indulgence gave Ji Mingfei the courage to "counterattack".
In the darkness where they couldn't see each other's features, Chu Yue's soft laughter echoed in Ji Mingfei's ears.
"I thought you were up to something. Do you want me to show you what to do next?"
"..."
Ji Mingfei was stunned by her smile, and in that moment of distraction, the roles of offense and defense were reversed.
Chu Yue easily placed Ji Mingfei's hands in front of her, freeing her other hand to pull down her bra strap. The strap slipped down her fair neck and shoulders, and Ji Mingfei trembled nervously, swallowing back the words that were about to escape her lips.
Chu Yue pulled Ji Mingfei's arm behind her back, letting her hug her waist, then pressed her forehead against Ji Mingfei's and whispered, "Continue, I can teach you step by step if you don't understand."
"..."
Ji Mingfei's palms were sweating nervously. In her memory, she had never touched Chu Yue's body so proactively. Every time, Chu Yue would grope her wantonly, while her hands were only fit to grip the sheets.
"What's wrong? Weren't you just interested in what was under my skirt?"
Chu Yue lifted her leg and pushed Ji Mingfei, who was about to fall off the bed, back up. Just as her knee touched Ji Mingfei's sensitive spot, Ji Mingfei suddenly arched her body and grabbed Chu Yue's back tightly with both hands, not wanting to slip to the bottom.
To gain leverage, Ji Mingfei's haphazard hands groped all over Chu Yue's back, her attention drawn to a raised ridge. She ran her hand along that ridge, which was about four or five centimeters long.
It's a scar.
Chu Yue grabbed Ji Mingfei's wrist and pulled her onto her shoulder, saying with a smile, "It's easier to get leverage if you grab me here."
"What's that on your back...?" Ji Mingfei knew that Chu Yue had deliberately moved her hand away. Although Chu Yue was an alpha, she really couldn't imagine how a normal person could have such a long scar.
"I had surgery when I was younger, and since it's in a place you can't see, I haven't paid much attention to it. You won't dislike me because of that ugly scar, will you?" Chu Yue's explanations were as perfunctory as ever, making it impossible to tell which of her words were true and which were false.
Ji Mingfei remained silent, while Chu Yue began to whine again, "You really dislike me? Then I'll get cosmetic surgery tomorrow, or get a tattoo. I'll tattoo our June's cute sleeping face on my waist to cover up her mother's ugliness."
"I don't want you to tattoo that place on June..." Ji Mingfei whispered.
Chu Yue kissed her forehead and then asked very seriously, "By the way, from the time we met until now, have we only done it once?"
"..."
What's wrong with her thinking?!
Chu Yue sniffed Ji Mingfei's neck and rubbed her face against hers. "I'm almost driven into heat by your pheromones. Should I have the mercy to save your poor alpha?"
"Hmm... I just bought some inhibitors yesterday, they're in the bedside table drawer. Do you want them?" Ji Mingfei poured cold water on his rationality.
Chu Yue was amused by her and no longer held back, letting her pheromones overflow.
Soon, Ji Mingfei went into heat.
Having completely gained the upper hand, Chu Yue calmly opened the drawer, took out the inhibitor, and waved it in front of Ji Mingfei.
"Honey, should I choose the suppressant or the other way around?"
Ji Mingfei wanted to grab the inhibitor, but Chu Yue deliberately mischievously put it in the drawer. She picked up her nightgown from the bed, got up to leave, but her hand was suddenly grabbed.
With reddened eyes, Ji Mingfei said, "I want you..."
