As the group left the Imperial Palace, Jian Lingxuan anxiously looked Lin Jianheng up and down.
She had wanted to grab her hand, but Yan Su was stuck to Lin Jianheng’s side. Not only were their arms linked, but their free hands were also clasped with fingers intertwined.
Jian Lingxuan tried to get closer, but Yan Su subtly and not-so-subtly squeezed her out.
Lin Jianheng didn’t seem to understand and simply pulled Yan Su into her arms. “Sister, move aside. My wife is pregnant, don’t hurt her.”
Jian Lingxuan was about to retort with a “Hey, that’s not it,” when she saw Yan Su collapse into Lin Jianheng’s embrace, her waist going soft as she slid down like a water snake.
“She poked me, it’s a little uncomfortable.” Only her arms remained draped over Lin Jianheng’s shoulders, clinging to her without any regard for the sweat Lin Jianheng had worked up fighting Canglin Jingyuan.
Not only did Yan Su not mind, she even wanted to help Lin Jianheng clean up.
With her mouth, of course.
The moment the thought appeared, Yan Su shied away from it, feeling she might be a bit too perverted.
But she was carrying two babies now; it was normal to get hungry quickly and for her desires to intensify, right?
Besides, Lin Jianheng liked her so much, she would indulge her.
“Sister, how could you? These are your nieces, too. Two of them,” Lin Jianheng said, completely ignoring who was right or wrong.
Whatever Yan Su said, went. She shot a sharp glare at Jian Lingxuan.
“You, you, you! It’s bad enough you irresponsibly got someone pregnant behind our backs, but how can you treat me like this!” So much for caring about her all these years! Jian Lingxuan puffed up like a pufferfish, her cheeks swelling with anger.
Lu Yuanchen stood beside her, holding the string to keep this particular balloon from flying off into the sky.
She gave a gentle tug on her tie and pulled Jian Lingxuan back.
Now Jian Lingxuan was a tethered kite, unable to charge at the new couple.
“She’s my wife, and she’s pregnant. You exploit me day in and day out, so you’re not allowed to get so close to us.” Lin Jianheng actually wanted to go and kick Jian Lingxuan.
She had a wife and daughters now; it was time to resist her older sister’s tyranny!
And their mothers were there too. As usual, the two of them took sides unfairly, starting in on Jian Lingxuan the moment they walked over.
“How can you bully your younger sister and your sister-in-law? It’s not like you don’t have a wife. Why are you so envious of their good relationship?” Song Qinghua landed a karate chop on Jian Lingxuan’s forehead without mercy.
Jian Zunqiu, ever the supportive wife, followed up with a sharp look of her own.
No words were needed; that one glance was enough to make Jian Lingxuan burst into tears.
“Yuanchen! Them, look at them, they’re all bullying me, wah…” She instantly transformed into a wronged Golden Retriever, seeking out the only person who would be on her side.
“There, there. She really is pregnant with little babies, don’t go bothering them.” Lu Yuanchen did soothe her, but not in the way Jian Lingxuan wanted.
With tears welling in her eyes, she followed behind Lu Yuanchen. Forced to sit in the same row as Lin Jianheng, she spent the entire ride feeling wronged, silently grumbling about her sister who couldn’t see through a green tea bitch, her biased Mommy, and her fierce Mom.
And her wife.
Jian Lingxuan pouted as she looked at Lu Yuanchen.
Lu Yuanchen was nestled in her seat, engrossed in her trashy romance novel, reading with such focus and fascination that she didn’t even notice Jian Lingxuan staring at her for a full five minutes.
“Wifey, do you not like me anymore?” Jian Lingxuan’s voice was thick and nasal, choked with sobs.
Lu Yuanchen reached out with a familiar, almost casual motion and patted Jian Lingxuan’s head. “There, there, of course not.”
Her phrasing was identical to when she had been admonishing her just moments ago!
Jian Lingxuan completely shut her heart off, turning away to sulk like a child.
Lin Jianheng occasionally glanced at the front row, a sense of nostalgia washing over her.
Before her unexpected transmigration, this was how her family had always interacted.
Jian Lingxuan would bully her for all sorts of reasons, and she would fight back. When their mothers heard about it, they would make a spiritual power call from thousands of miles away just to scold Jian Lingxuan.
Jian Lingxuan, fuming and wronged, would then go to Lu Yuanchen, but Lu Yuanchen was usually busy with her own things.
Lin Jianheng wondered if Lu Yuanchen ever comforted Jian Lingxuan when they got home.
Lin Jianheng’s genes didn’t come from the Jian family, and her personality wasn’t entirely similar to any of them. It was more like she had taken a little from each, fused with the spirit and pride of the former King.
Jian Lingxuan, on the other hand, was her two mothers’ daughter through and through. She had differentiated like Song Qinghua, and her personality was similar too.
But Jian Zunqiu had the same kind of detached personality as Lu Yuanchen; one could say their preferences were passed down through generations.
So Lin Jianheng didn’t pay it much mind. After all, the Alpha Mom and Alpha sister in the family were used to having their tantrums ignored.
If they got truly angry, they’d probably resolve it in bed.
She just needed to focus on keeping her Sister Yan happy.
At this thought, Lin Jianheng swayed like a bobblehead and plastered herself to Yan Su’s shoulder.
“Sister~” She now knew her entire past and had reached a temporary agreement and reconciliation with Canglin Jingyuan.
She also had her own children today, something she had never imagined before.
And she had a lover who truly loved her, who wouldn’t plant viruses around her or leave her.
Right now, Lin Jianheng was practically bubbling with happiness.
Yan Su snuggled up against her, and the two of them melted into each other, with Lin Jianheng holding Yan Su in her arms.
“Master, do you want to name them?” Yan Su was also soft and flushed pink all over.
As long as her master was by her side, that was all that mattered.
Her own past wasn’t that important.
“You name one, and I’ll name one. Hmm… let’s decide after they’re born. I don’t have any ideas yet.” Lin Jianheng thought “Big Sister Cub” and “Little Sister Cub” were cute enough.
But her daughters couldn’t actually be named Big Sister Cub and Little Sister Cub, could they?
When they introduced themselves, people would stare with their eyes wide open.
Lin Jianheng considered herself terrible at naming things and wanted to do some research and discuss it with her family.
Two children meant both she and Yan Su had to contribute. According to Lin Jianheng’s understanding from her 25 years of life, Sister Yan was doing the harder work.
She had originally wanted to let Yan Su name both cubs.
But in the end, she got greedy. Lin Jianheng poked her own heart, admitting her own hypocrisy.
Yan Su didn’t mind. If Lin Jianheng really decided to name the two cubs Big Sister Cub and Little Sister Cub, Yan Su would support it with both hands and feet.
“I should name them?” But when it was actually up to her, she felt a little lost.
She wasn’t even sure of her own name.
Ultimately, “Yan Su” was probably just a designation.
The name’s meaning had been gradually bestowed upon it through her time with Lin Jianheng.
That was why the words “Yan Su” had become warm and comforting. Yan Su was willing to use this name forever.
“No rush. We still have twelve months before we get to see them,” Lin Jianheng said, placing her hand on Yan Su’s abdomen.
“So warm…” Her lover had a very soft belly. Flat and smooth.
Lin Jianheng had always loved it, wanting to selfishly make it her own private collection.
Now, her and Yan Su’s cubs were actually living there.
Through the clothes, Yan Su’s skin was no warmer than usual, but Lin Jianheng felt a toasty heat, as if she herself were floating in amniotic fluid.
It was as if she had become Yan Su’s child, now swimming freely in her mother’s unique warmth.
“Master is touching the babies,” Yan Su said, her eyelashes lowered as she placed her hand over Lin Jianheng’s.
“I’m clearly touching you, Sister Yan,” Lin Jianheng chuckled, turning her hand over to capture Yan Su’s.
Master’s hand was the one that was scorching hot. Yan Su couldn’t help but guide Lin Jianheng’s hand slightly, correcting its position. “Well, doesn’t Master want to touch them?”
If they were lucky, once the two little cubs grew a bit bigger, they would be able to feel their heartbeats through this layer of skin.
“Hmm?” Can I feel the babies?
Probably not. Even Yan Su couldn’t.
Yan Su suddenly lowered her voice and nibbled on Lin Jianheng’s ear, causing a blush to spread. “When we get back… I’ll teach you properly.”
Thankfully, the car was spacious enough.
Jian Zunqiu watched the interactions between her two daughters and their partners in the front, a sense of peace settling in her heart.
But it wasn’t enough to knock away her worries.
“They’re all settling down so early. Sigh,” Song Qinghua whispered to Jian Zunqiu beside her.
She loved children and had always thought at least one of her daughters would stay with them a little longer.
“Have another one?” Jian Zunqiu closed her eyes slightly. The day’s events had left her somewhat exhausted.
“We’re both over seventy, and you want to have another one?” Although seventy was still considered middle-aged, it was twice the average childbearing age.
Song Qinghua couldn’t imagine it. If they had a child now, wouldn’t their daughter and granddaughter become childhood friends, going to school and playing together?
On second thought, it wasn’t a bad idea. It sounded quite fun, and the two cubs would have a companion.
“Are you actually considering it?” Jian Zunqiu knew what Song Qinghua was thinking without even opening her eyes.
“You’re the one who asked,” Song Qinghua said, pinching Jian Zunqiu, which finally made her smile.
“Let’s forget it. The situation is too chaotic. We might even have to move.” A sigh followed. How could Jian Zunqiu not see her daughter’s intentions?
The first concession was allowing Canglin Jingyuan to access her spiritual space, to use her to quell this chaos.
The second concession was the core of it. Lin Jianheng had no intention of fighting for the throne; she had pretended to be a hedonist for over a decade. This time, she returned with even less ambition for power, only wanting to live a peaceful life. It was only natural that she would suggest moving far away from the Capital Star.
Jian Zunqiu might feel unwilling, but she felt more aggrieved for her daughter.
They were both of royal blood. In fact, according to the order of succession, her daughter was the first in line.
Their Jian Heng was exceptionally brilliant, a prodigy from birth with powerful spiritual energy and the knowledge required of a king.
Why couldn’t it be Jian Heng?
But since her daughter had no desire for it, Jian Zunqiu could say no more.
All she could do was accompany her when she left the Capital Star.
“Do you know what I found out about that underground black market?” This time, Jian Zunqiu switched to communicating with her wife via spiritual power.
Song Qinghua shifted into a more relaxed posture, but her gaze unconsciously hardened.
Jian Zunqiu said only three words.
—The Third Empire.
“…Have you considered reporting it?” Although the priority was to eliminate internal threats.
The Third Empire, which vied with the Xuanxing Empire for territory and population, was still a powerful enemy.
Even though little Jian Heng had said they should become allies to fight the crisis of the Mechanical Lifeforms together.
For now, the two empires remained opposed, while the Lingyuan Alliance had relatively minor friction with both, often reaping the benefits of their conflict.
This external threat could not be ignored.
“That’s why it’s so troublesome.” Jian Zunqiu had already concealed it once, so she had no intention of reporting it a second time.
One reason was that the royal family had hidden the true reason for Xiao Heng’s transmigration from them. If Jian Heng hadn’t been so insistent today, and if they hadn’t shown their determination to see the truth, they probably would have never known for the rest of their lives that the daughter of their dear friend, whom they had rescued with great difficulty and raised as their own…
Had died once.
The other reason was Canglin Jingyuan’s attitude, which they found extremely distasteful.
Everyone knew the former King’s younger sister was frail and had died young. The two had fought fiercely for nutrients and pheromones in their mother’s womb. Out of guilt, the former King had taken her sister’s two children under her wing, which was also why she had delayed having children of her own.
The situation in recent years had not been peaceful; even a long-lived monarch would be inclined to have children earlier. The former King had passed away at an age similar to their own, which was indeed quite late.
Canglin Jingyuan grew up under the former King’s protection, only to take her position and turn against her benefactor’s child. It was ungrateful and unjust, truly disgusting.
“True. Besides, it’s not easy for Xiao Heng to have found someone she likes.” Song Qinghua understood Jian Zunqiu’s choice perfectly.
She, too, had no intention of informing the royal family.
To be precise, they had considered it when they accompanied Lin Jianheng today.
But after those two incidents, they had given up the idea.
The opposing force was already powerful enough to make moves on the Capital Star and send someone in.
Although Yan Su was now leaving the Capital Star with Lin Jianheng, and the enemy’s plan might have failed…
Their strength was still terrifying.
To say the royal family was unaware of something of this magnitude was unbelievable.
They would just pretend they didn’t know.
Jian Zunqiu also stopped pursuing the lead. It was a good thing she stopped when she did; any later, and Jian Zunqiu feared the Third Empire would target their family.
Today, the family had a rare reunion at the old residence.
The Jian family’s old residence had been occupied by a branch family. When they heard the main family was returning, they quickly moved out, leaving the place quiet for them.
Lin Jianheng familiarly led Yan Su to her room, pulling her down to lie on the bed together.
“Is this where Master used to live?” Yan Su could feel the lingering scent in the air that belonged exclusively to Lin Jianheng.
This scent made her feel at ease in the unfamiliar environment, not to mention her lover was right beside her.
“Half and half? Our family also has a small villa where we used to live most of the time. We’re here today because Mommy and Mom are going to scold people.” Lin Jianheng turned on her side and hugged Yan Su.
“Scold people?” Yan Su purred as Lin Jianheng stroked her chin.
Just then, the family cat darted into the room and jumped onto Lin Jianheng’s bed.
Seeing Yan Su purring, the cat froze for a second, one paw raised in mid-air.
It probably wouldn’t figure it out in its next life. How could there be such a big cat?
“Some side-branch matters. Some people saw that my mothers hadn’t been home for a few years and got crooked ideas. Some got lazy. Others were hiding their true selves, or were just good at pretending. Anyway, you’ll hear them getting scolded in a bit.”
In the past, Lin Jianheng loved to drag Jian Lingxuan along, and the two sisters would hide near the meeting room to eavesdrop.
They would plant a listening device beforehand and listen to the “radio drama” from a safe spot while watching the reactions of their various aunts.
“Meow… ow!” The ball of white fur nudged Yan Su’s waist, causing her to press sharply against Lin Jianheng.
“Ma-Master. What was that? Is there, is there a ghost?” Even in the interstellar age, the protagonist of horror stories was still a ghost.
Yan Su clung tightly to Lin Jianheng’s shoulders, burying herself in her embrace.
Lin Jianheng quickly released her spiritual power to soothe her, telling her not to upset herself, before looking up.
“Wow, Xueqiu, you’re still alive.” It was a pleasant surprise.
Lin Jianheng recalled that this was the kitten her mothers had brought back as a gift from a business trip when she was three.
It was nineteen years old now.
With advanced medical technology, the lifespan of pets had also increased.
“Meow~” Xueqiu walked over to Lin Jianheng, rubbing and nudging against her.
It was demonstrating to Yan Su what a real cat does when it wants affection.
Yan Su was initially jealous.
Even Lin Jianheng’s spiritual comfort couldn’t stop this pang of jealousy.
She lay down next to Xueqiu, glaring at it menacingly, and opened her mouth as if to meow.
Her claws were already extended.
But then the cat nudged her too.
It was… actually kind of cute. Yan Su’s tail started to sway wildly, attracting Xueqiu’s attention like a cat teaser.
“Meow!” Xueqiu expressed its friendliness to Yan Su as well.
It remembered Lin Jianheng’s scent, and since Yan Su carried the same strong scent, it naturally felt close to her.
“Still so friendly.” Lin Jianheng picked up the small cat.
The cat’s four paws dangled limply, proving it was an exceptionally good cat.
“Sister, have you ever been around cats before?” She held it up, partly afraid of scaring Yan Su again. Lin Jianheng decided to take it slow.
Yan Su shook her head. She had general knowledge about them but had never touched a small animal.
Her usual cat-like or dog-like behavior truly came from her instincts.
Every human’s instinct carries a part of the beast within.
If Lin Jianheng’s was a cheetah, Yan Su’s was a domesticated cat or dog.
She was very obedient, lacking a cat’s innocence and wildness.
But she only groomed Lin Jianheng. Right now, Yan Su leaned against Lin Jianheng, wanting her to scratch her chin too.
Lin Jianheng held Xueqiu with one hand and gently scratched Yan Su’s chin with two fingers.
Yan Su closed her eyes, her heart-shaped tail beating a slow rhythm.
Seeing her completely unguarded, Lin Jianheng sneakily moved her hand down…
And touched the spot where Yan Su’s collar used to be.
It was also the surface of her faint Adam’s apple.
Yan Su’s tail reacted faster than she did, shooting straight up as if electrocuted. A blush spread across her neck, turning her into a little red cat.
“You really are my little cat.” Lin Jianheng touched the spot again, bringing a hint of moisture to Yan Su’s eyes.
Her own little cat was cuter. Lin Jianheng then poked Yan Su’s half-parted lips.
“Little Cat Sister, want to pet a real cat?” She ended the ambiguous moment and held out Xueqiu. The cat’s legs dangled, truly defenseless.
Worth learning from, Yan Su thought, her mind already miles away as she reached out her hand.
What happens when a cat is petted on its back? Its legs? Its tail?
Yan Su observed with such detail that she could have written a research paper.
Lin Jianheng didn’t notice, simply thinking the person and the cat were getting along harmoniously. She felt gratified and lay down beside Yan Su, enjoying the moment.
In the interstellar age, there was no risk of pregnant women catching diseases from cats. Lin Jianheng could rest easy.
“I’m done playing.” Having collected enough data, Yan Su shooed the cat to Lin Jianheng’s other side.
She picked Xueqiu up by its front legs and tossed it aside. Xueqiu landed lightly on the large bed, not at all annoyed, and began to knead the blanket, preparing to rest.
This was a cat’s way of self-soothing.
Yan Su leaned into Lin Jianheng’s embrace, burrowing into her chest. Her nose inadvertently brushed against Lin Jianheng’s skin, catching a hint of her pheromone-laced scent, and she too wanted to purr and rest.
This was Yan Su’s way of self-soothing.
Lin Jianheng paid no more attention to the old family cat, turning over to hold her little cat lover.
After a short nap, Lin Jianheng suddenly sat up.
Yan Su sat up dazedly, rubbing her face.
“Let’s go, Wifey. We’re going to listen to Mom scold people!” Lin Jianheng scooped Yan Su up and carried her downstairs. She hoped the listening device she had planted long ago was still there.
Wifey… Yan Su clutched Lin Jianheng’s shirt, her cheeks slightly flushed.
She liked this new nickname.
Tonight… she had to make her master call her that in bed.
Halfway there, they ran into Jian Lingxuan and Lu Yuanchen, who were walking hand in hand.
Jian Lingxuan and Lin Jianheng’s eyes met.
—You’re here to eavesdrop too?
The two sisters rediscovered a long-lost joy from their past and led their respective partners to their old hiding spot.
Then they discovered the corner was a bit too small. It was fine for a young Jian Heng and a teenage Jian Lingxuan, but hiding the four of them would be difficult.
Lin Jianheng acted fast. Banking on the fact that no one would dare approach Yan Su, she hugged her wife and ducked inside, sticking her tongue out at Jian Lingxuan.
“I told you back then to pick a bigger spot,” Jian Lingxuan fumed outside, stomping her foot. She wanted to use her hands but didn’t dare.
In the past, the two sisters would roughhouse without restraint, sometimes even breaking each other’s bones.
Lin Jianheng didn’t care now, but her wife was precious.
She was the first in their generation to have a child.
Jian Lingxuan was afraid that if she messed with Lin Jianheng, she might accidentally hurt Yan Su and then face a multi-pronged beating from her mothers, aunts, and grandmothers.
“Well, who would have thought we’d still be doing something this fun when we’re all grown up?” Lin Jianheng refused to admit defeat. Enjoying the drama, she pulled Yan Su deeper into her arms and met Lu Yuanchen’s gaze.
“Sister-in-law, want to hide in here?” If they didn’t hide, Jian Zunqiu would discover them as soon as the meeting started.
Jian Heng would be fine. Jian Lingxuan, however, would occasionally be dragged into the meeting room by her ear for a scolding.
After all, she was the biological daughter, the sole heir. Her mothers had different expectations for her.
“Ahem.” Lu Yuanchen took a step back.
She wanted to go in.
She loved listening to this kind of melodramatic plot where the family head returns to clean house.
Unfortunately…
Her own wife was not easy to placate.
“I think I’ll stay with Lingxuan.” On the surface, she looked elegant and composed.
Jian Lingxuan grunted, pulling her arm and dragging her to the other side, trying to find a hiding spot.
Her wife definitely wanted to say yes in her heart, she thought.
She must be punished properly tonight!
I’m going to top! I’m going to top!
It’s one thing to be marked by an Omega every day, but she even gets…
At this thought, Jian Lingxuan bit Lu Yuanchen.
Lu Yuanchen sighed internally and obediently held out her arm.
“What are you doing?” Jian Lingxuan glared at her.
They were barely hidden behind a railing. Holding out her arm like that was so obvious.
“For you to bite.” Her tone was so nonchalant, as if Jian Lingxuan’s recent resolve to top was just smoke, dissipating with a wave of her hand, never to bring about any substantial change.
Jian Lingxuan took a deep breath and slapped her arm hard a few times.
Lu Yuanchen calmly retracted her hand.
Tsk, it was the first time she’d slapped it this red. She must be really angry.
Sigh. Ever since they started dating, Jian Lingxuan had always taken out the frustrations she suffered at home on her.
She had been bitten so badly, so what was wrong with biting Jian Lingxuan back once?
Two seconds later, all four of them pricked up their ears.
Jian Zunqiu had entered the meeting room and was about to start scolding people.
After listening for five minutes, Lin Jianheng got the gist of the current situation at Jian Corporation and lost interest.
Jian Zunqiu’s scoldings were never the intense kind. She rarely even spoke much, mostly just singling someone out with a lethally sharp gaze.
Yan Su, however, was experiencing this for the first time and was very curious. So Lin Jianheng let her listen, braiding her hair as she did.
Jian Lingxuan and Lu Yuanchen, hiding behind the railing, were still discovered by Jian Zunqiu.
Jian Zunqiu had no intention of criticizing Jian Lingxuan today, so after a brief pause, she ignored them.
Lu Yuanchen felt the intense spiritual power and nudged Jian Lingxuan.
“What?” Jian Lingxuan was still sulking.
“Let’s go back. I’m tired too. Let’s go to bed.” The verb kind.
“!” Jian Lingxuan shot up, earning another glance from Jian Zunqiu.
But Jian Lingxuan, blinded by the joy of her impending counterattack, didn’t feel the sharp glare at all.
Lu Yuanchen met Jian Zunqiu’s eyes, gave a slight nod, and led the disruptive Jian Lingxuan away.
As they passed the alcove, they even greeted their beloved sister and her wife.
Only to see that their sister had already braided four small pigtails, and their sister-in-law was about to become a little girl with a head full of braids.
After her shower, as Lu Yuanchen was drying her face, Jian Lingxuan tossed a handkerchief at her.
“Yuanchen, Yuanchen.” Jian Lingxuan patted the spot beside her, her meaning clear.
Lu Yuanchen saw a vine lying there.
It was a long one, equipped with functions like mild electrical currents, controllable growth, and vibrations.
Jian Lingxuan had specifically bought this item on a business trip to Yin Yao Star.
Places with large populations had more variety. Yin Yao Star also had planets suitable for many minority races.
Many of these minority races were uniquely gifted in certain aspects: arms that could transform into vines, hair that could blossom with flowers, octopus tentacles growing from their waists… you name it.
This vine was a replica, with some special functions added.
Of course, Jian Lingxuan hadn’t bought it for herself.
Unfortunately, she had never once succeeded in using it on Lu Yuanchen.
“Darling, come here~” Jian Lingxuan was radiating joy.
She was like a little Golden Retriever about to go on an outing.
As far as Lu Yuanchen knew, she had never seen Jian Lingxuan act this way with anyone else.
Jian Lingxuan was her little puppy, and hers alone.
She undid the tie of her bathrobe, and the robe slid off.
Under Jian Lingxuan’s intensely expectant gaze, she snatched the vine.
“Xiao Xuan,” Lu Yuanchen said, her hand caressing Jian Lingxuan’s collarbone.
“Same as always.” Still trying to top.
They had been together for so many years, yet Jian Lingxuan still had that presumptuous air of thinking she was the top.
“You, you can’t, don’t come over…” Jian Lingxuan, who had been naked, suddenly hugged a pillow.
“You made me so angry today! What’s wrong with letting me have my way for once?” The next second, the pillow landed on Lu Yuanchen’s face.
Lu Yuanchen dodged slightly and was already back by Jian Lingxuan’s side. The vine fell, sending a shiver of goosebumps down Jian Lingxuan’s spine.
She knew exactly what this thing was like.
That’s why she had chosen it so carefully, wanting to give Lu Yuanchen an “unforgettable” experience.
“I did make you angry. My bad. That’s why I have to compensate you.” Lu Yuanchen’s expression didn’t change, but her grip on the vine tightened, leaving Jian Lingxuan no room to maneuver.
“Don’t you like this?” She leaned down and kissed Jian Lingxuan’s collarbone, her hair brushing against Jian Lingxuan’s cheek.
It made her subconsciously feel a little…
“N-no! Can’t you just let me have my way for once? I just want to—mmph…”
Feeling her body’s reaction, Jian Lingxuan’s entire face turned beet red. She pushed weakly at Lu Yuanchen, as if trying to make her stop.
But it had an air of feigned resistance, which told the familiar Lu Yuanchen to deepen the kiss.
Jian Lingxuan drowned in that kiss, tears streaming from her eyes, soaking half of Lu Yuanchen’s hair.
Lu Yuanchen slowly softened and slowed her pace.
So that Jian Lingxuan wouldn’t be so uncomfortable.
They were an old married couple. Lu Yuanchen understood Jian Lingxuan’s rhythm perfectly, guiding her step by step, pushing and pulling, almost begging for her compliance, making her sink into a state where she couldn’t refuse.
Usually, by this point, Jian Lingxuan would just cry and bite her, but she would still be very obedient.
Perhaps it was because she was provoked by Lin Jianheng, or perhaps she had been bullied too much during the day.
This time, she actually bit Lu Yuanchen’s tongue. Seizing the one-second opening when Lu Yuanchen was caught off guard, she pushed her over.
“…Xiao Xuan.” Lu Yuanchen sighed, her hand still on Jian Lingxuan’s cheek.
“Are you not happy?”
“I told you!” Jian Lingxuan scrambled to grab the vine.
Her younger sister had a succubus and marked her so often that her pheromones were depleted.
Why did she have to be on the bottom her whole life!
She wanted to know what it felt like to be on top, too.
“I just want to try it once… just once. Why can’t you let me? It was the same during the day. I was being bullied so badly by them, and you, you didn’t even speak up for me. You just kept reading your novel…” If Jian Lingxuan succeeded now, she would become the number one crybaby.
However, Lu Yuanchen grabbed her wrist and managed to flip her over. Her emerald eyes held the calm and silence of a forest.
This made Jian Lingxuan feel even more wronged, her tears turning white-hot. “It was the same with Xiao Heng’s matter before. You clearly knew what happened to her, but you still, still didn’t tell me. You also knew when she was coming back, you knew I cared about her, why didn’t you tell me?”
The time Jian Lingxuan had angrily confronted Lu Yuanchen was probably when she found out Jian Heng had voluntarily participated in the transmigration project but hadn’t expected the memory problems. The answer Lu Yuanchen gave her was that Jian Heng had transmigrated by accident, which was why her memory was damaged.
Now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all. And her sister’s memory had already recovered.
Now the whole family knew, and she was the only one left in the dark. Naturally, Jian Lingxuan’s temper flared.
“And now, you’re still holding me back…” In truth, Jian Lingxuan understood the reasoning.
It was simply that Canglin Jingyuan’s attitude was unclear. She wouldn’t directly harm Xiao Heng, but she might silence outsiders like them who knew too much and were of no use.
Jian Lingxuan was just too aggrieved.
Lu Yuanchen had always placated her—at least, she would wait until night, explain the reasons properly, soothe her emotions big and small, and wait until she was happy before catching her off guard with a kiss, kissing her until her legs went weak before letting go, leaving her staggering.
Today, she ignored her wishes again and used the same old tricks. Did she really think her temper was so soft that a little coaxing would fix everything?
“…Do you want to talk about this?” Lu Yuanchen tossed the vine aside and sat up straight.
“That’s not what I mean! You know what I want to do.” Jian Lingxuan was about to throw a real tantrum.
Their last fight was two years ago, and it was also because of Jian Heng.
Why was today’s fight also because of Jian Heng?
“But, I think compared to that, I really should tell you about Xiao Heng.” Lu Yuanchen’s way of thinking was different from Jian Lingxuan’s.
She hadn’t expected that after all this time, Jian Lingxuan was still fixated on the issue of topping.
So much so that today, everything else could wait. But this could not.
“…You just don’t want me to, don’t want to satisfy my needs.” Jian Lingxuan had even lost the mood. She grabbed the bathrobe Lu Yuanchen had just taken off, put it on, and bit her lip, about to walk out.
“I want to talk about serious matters with you. I told you before that I don’t really like being on the bottom, and you clearly agreed.”
Even with Jian Lingxuan this angry, Lu Yuanchen’s voice remained calm, only slightly faster.
She reached back to grab Jian Lingxuan, but Jian Lingxuan slapped her hand away. “That was before! It’s not like I want to top every day. I said just this once! Who wants to talk about serious matters with you at a time like this!”
Her eyes were already scarlet, from both anger and grievance, mixed with tears from being teased earlier. She took a deep breath, about to start spewing harsh words.
Lu Yuanchen pinched her, her tone finally gaining some force as she covered her mouth and held her. “We agreed not to fight. Don’t be like this, okay? Calm down and let’s talk properly.”
Jian Lingxuan gasped again and kicked Lu Yuanchen. Unable to speak, she bit down on Lu Yuanchen’s palm, tears falling like fiery beans, burning Lu Yuanchen.
Lu Yuanchen was a bit slow in perceiving emotions, but by now, she should have realized that Jian Lingxuan was truly angry this time.
“You’re the one who’s calm!” After sobbing for a while, Jian Lingxuan finally managed to get a sentence out, using Lu Yuanchen’s hand to wipe her own tears.
Lu Yuanchen helped her sit down, gently wiping her tears. “Yes, I’m calm. You already know that, so why do you get angry every time?”
Jian Lingxuan really wanted to elbow her, but she managed to hold back.
“I told you I wanted to, just once… My sister gets to. She marks someone every day.”
Now, Jian Lingxuan was lying in Lu Yuanchen’s arms, her crying and fussing having subsided into simple sobs.
In the past, it would take a long time. They would argue many times—mostly with Jian Lingxuan doing all the talking while Lu Yuanchen looked on, confused and unable to keep up.
Later, not wanting to hurt their relationship and feeling it was useless, they had a proper talk and agreed not to argue over any conflicts in the future.
“And how do you know that kind of thing is pleasurable? You can’t even climax that way…” Lu Yuanchen held her tighter, which was the fastest way to calm Jian Lingxuan down. She looked at her sideways, her green-lake eyes as calm as before, but now with an added air of concern.
“Then why do you have to mark me every time? And use your fingers.” If it wasn’t interesting, then she should just let her do it.
“Because I like it.” Lu Yuanchen didn’t know how to express it.
Although she was classified as an Omega, and all her physical stats and spiritual power levels were no different from a normal Omega’s…
She was born with the ability to mark. She used to like biting things, had a long oral fixation period, and perhaps it still hadn’t ended.
After trying to bite Jian Lingxuan for the first time, she fell in love with the feeling. After doing it many times, she found it completely unacceptable to be marked herself.
It was quite… dramatic. Lu Yuanchen paused.
It wasn’t fun when the melodrama happened to you.
“When we first got engaged, you always said… didn’t we talk about this once? I like you very much, Xiao Xuan, that’s why I want to bite you. You agreed back then.” Lu Yuanchen loosened her grip, switching to holding Jian Lingxuan’s waist.
One of them had light hair, the other dark, both common shades of black and brown. As Lu Yuanchen rested her head on Jian Lingxuan’s shoulder, their hair intertwined like clouds, a mix of light and shadow.
The reflected light shone in Lu Yuanchen’s eyes.
It was because she liked it, and found the alternative unacceptable, that she had been this way all these years.
But if Jian Lingxuan insisted, should she perhaps try… being on the bottom?
“I, I don’t remember.” Jian Lingxuan pouted, feeling guilty for a second before becoming righteously indignant. “It’s been so many years. Can’t you just give in to me?”
“I don’t want to be marked, and I’m not prepared. If you really want to, today we can only do it without marking. Is that okay?” After much thought, Lu Yuanchen could only accept that much today.
“Okay!” Jian Lingxuan was desperate enough to agree even without the marking.
“Are you serious?” Lu Yuanchen was already preparing to lie down.
“…Forget it. It’s no fun.” It sounded so reluctant. Jian Lingxuan pinched Lu Yuanchen in dissatisfaction, also signaling that the matter was dropped.
“Xuan’er, I was wrong. If you really want to, tell me at least a week in advance next time. I need to… prepare,” Lu Yuanchen continued.
“…Aiya, I know, let’s just get started.” Once her anger subsided, Jian Lingxuan started to feel shy again, pulling at Lu Yuanchen to get on with it.
“Then, about Xiao Heng’s matter…”
“We’ll talk after!” Jian Lingxuan kicked her legs a few times, extremely impatient. She had finally agreed, and if they didn’t start soon, she would get too shy.
Lu Yuanchen did as she wished, pinning down her restless legs.
And bit her.
Meanwhile, Lin Jianheng had cooked a small meal for Yan Su in their room, feeding her new girlfriend until she was full.
“Master is such a good cook,” Yan Su said, resting her head on Lin Jianheng’s shoulder.
Lin Jianheng was gently rubbing her stomach to ease the feeling of being overstuffed.
She didn’t dare to use too much force, but ever since she found out Yan Su was pregnant, Lin Jianheng had developed a bit of an addiction to caressing her waist and abdomen.
She took every opportunity to touch her.
It wasn’t overly amorous; it was really like simply stroking a kitten.
And the kitten enjoyed it very much.
She wanted to be licked by her master but was too shy to say it, feeling like she would be tempting her master to lick the cubs.
The two were definitely going to have another kind of meal, so the door was locked. Xueqiu couldn’t get in.
But there was still a little cat in the room.
The little cat Yan Su scratched at Lin Jianheng’s shoulder, giving a few light scratches before pouncing and nibbling for a moment.
“I got interested in college and taught myself.” After rubbing her belly, Lin Jianheng changed positions, having Yan Su lie with her head in her lap so they could look at each other.
When Yan Su saw Lin Jianheng’s eyes, joy overflowed, her gaze so bright it made Lin Jianheng blink.
“I didn’t expect it to come in handy now.” Lin Jianheng only opened one eye, squeezing the other shut as she flirted with Yan Su.
“As long as Sister likes it. I’ll go study more types of cuisine in the future.” Then she lowered her head and kissed Yan Su.
It was a completely different situation from Jian Lingxuan and Lu Yuanchen’s mutual misunderstanding.
Lin Jianheng always felt that Yan Su was like a long-time friend, or even her older sister, teaching her, raising her.
A substitute for a mother.
How strange. In their role-playing, she was the mommy. Yan Su was her obedient and lovely daughter, who would only be teased by her poking her heart.
She wouldn’t get angry and would even wag her tail and lick her. That was a good daughter.
They were so familiar with each other, with each other’s bodies and minds.
So their relationship was as smooth as a fish in water. How could there be any conflict?
“Then the babies and I are in for a treat.” Now they had children too.
Yan Su’s smile curved into two crescent moons, and Lin Jianheng rubbed her cheeks.
She had originally wanted to look at baby things with her.
But Yan Su suddenly sat up and took Lin Jianheng’s hand.
“Speaking of which, Master…” Yan Su narrowed her eyes like this, with only one desire.
Lin Jianheng blinked once, then followed, crawling to the position Yan Su indicated.
She caressed her shoulder, her back, already prepared.
All that was left was to press her lips to Yan Su’s ear.
“Master understands Yan Su so well now.” In the past, Yan Su had to use all sorts of tricks to entice Lin Jianheng.
“Is that not good? Or does Sister prefer me to be a little dumber, a little more clueless?” Lin Jianheng kissed her, the wet sound exploding next to Yan Su’s ear.
“…Master is good no matter what.” The process of seduction was fun, but Lin Jianheng’s previous inability to find the right spot had frustrated Yan Su.
“Nonsense. You definitely have a preference.” Lin Jianheng bit down lightly, the grinding motion causing Yan Su a slight pain.
It was this faint pain that made Yan Su’s blood boil.
With a jolt, she bit back at Lin Jianheng’s fingertip.
She only held it, but the pain on her earlobe intensified.
“Mmm, Ma-Master…” Master knows I like this…
With Lin Jianheng having figured out her preferences first, Yan Su felt as if her master could see right through her.
This sense of being controlled still made Yan Su’s heart race, and she couldn’t help but hug Lin Jianheng tighter.
“Master, Master, girlfriend…” The titles kept changing, but the ambiguous tone only grew stronger.
“Do you want… do you want to see our babies?” Just as she was about to bite Yan Su to the point of climax, Yan Su stopped the sensation herself and uttered a sentence.
“Of course, my girlfriend-sister. How should I look?” Lin Jianheng genuinely thought she had to use her spiritual power.
But Yan Su simply lay back slowly.
“Master, would you like to help me with a prenatal checkup?” Her open legs were suggestive enough.
Lin Jianheng’s eyes led to the babies’ room. Yan Su was self-aware enough to have already spread them.
“Just like this, from here.”
