After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

The arrest team Gu Junwan had arranged in advance wasn’t far from the farmhouse resort.

So, after the guard team subdued the Fugui Gang members, they arrived just in time to wrap things up.

These bodyguards who gave chase were mere small fry; the real “big fish” might have already secretly fled the resort.

But it didn’t matter if they luckily escaped this time.

The footage Shen Han captured with her watch, along with the pile of incriminating materials she had just snatched from the enemy, was enough for Gu Junwan to follow the trail and root out the biggest tumor in this area.

After the arrest team arrived, Gu Junwan took Shen Han and headed back.

The guard team’s two SUVs, one in front and one behind, dutifully protected their Empress.

This time, only eight guard team members came with Gu Junwan to execute the mission, including Ning Xi.

Ma Haoyu was still blending in at the Fugui Gang’s base, continuing to collect information.

At this moment, the group of guards was very excited, chattering non-stop in the car.

“I knew there was a reason we hadn’t seen our captain these past couple of days. So she was out on a mission!”

“By the way, why isn’t the captain in our car? I wanted to ask her what she’s been up to these past days.”

Ning Xi, sitting in the passenger seat, disdained to participate in their conversation.

She thought to herself: The Lady Empress came to pick her up personally, of course the boss wouldn’t be in our car.

“Let me tell you a secret, I just saw Captain Shen get into the middle car.”

“Really? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong? Captain Shen looked so dusty and travel-worn, is it appropriate for her to ride in the same car as the Lady Empress?”

Ning Xi smirked.

She thought: What an inexperienced fool! The boss has been in even worse states, and the Lady Empress still rushed to embrace her!

……

In Gu Junwan’s vehicle, no one spoke for a while.

The atmosphere was slightly tense.

The Beta driver felt he had just witnessed something extraordinary that he shouldn’t have seen.

His heart alternated between joy and worry, even his breathing careful.

Xu Zhao was secretly pondering that when they reached their destination, she must find a moment to have a word with the driver.

The Lady Empress’s romantic affairs still needed to be kept confidential for now.

Gu Junwan had many things she wanted to say to Shen Han, but with others in the car, she remained silent.

Shen Han, not long after getting in the car, realized something was wrong.

She discovered that her physical symptoms weren’t due to dehydration, but because her susceptible period had arrived!

She hadn’t felt much when outside the car, but now, in the same enclosed space as Gu Junwan, she felt all her senses had been amplified several times over.

The faint cold plum fragrance continuously entered her nostrils, then seemed to transform into a raging fire, making the Alpha’s blood boil.

Her chest still felt tight, but her cerebral cortex was in an extremely excited state.

The canines hidden in her lips emerged wickedly, clamoring to touch that sweet cold plum.

Shen Han pressed her back tightly against the seat.

The back of her hand, slightly covered by her sleeve, had already revealed blue veins.

Sensing something off about the Alpha beside her, Gu Junwan quickly turned to look at her.

She saw Shen Han with her head slightly lowered, looking very serious from the side.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Gu Junwan thought that since the driver had already seen her wiping the water from the other’s ears, she directly raised her palm to the Alpha’s forehead.

It felt burning hot to the touch.

“Shen Han, are you alright?”

Gu Junwan initially didn’t think about the susceptible period possibility; she thought the other might have been injured during the mission.

Finding the other’s forehead burning, she gently placed her palm on the Alpha’s jaw.

Shen Han, already struggling to maintain control, felt her defenses crumble halfway at her Omega’s touch.

She slowly turned her head, her eyes full of undisguised desire as she looked at the Omega.

Snow cedar frantically escaped, following its owner’s thoughts, pouncing on the delectable prey.

Gu Junwan had just gone through her heat a couple of days ago, and now, provoked by the Alpha’s pheromones, she involuntarily felt some arousal.

Just then, the Beta driver turned the steering wheel sharply, moving the car to the roadside at top speed, then hit the brakes.

Though he couldn’t smell the pheromones in the car, he could clearly hear the Alpha’s increasingly heavy breathing.

He didn’t dare wait for Special Assistant Xu or the Lady Empress to speak, taking emergency action directly.

Because if the Lady Empress were harmed by that Alpha in the car, he didn’t even dare imagine the terrible consequences.

The driver urgently said to Xu Zhao beside him: “Special Assistant Xu! We can’t let Captain Shen stay in the car, she seems to be in susceptible period!”

But before Xu Zhao could speak, Gu Junwan’s voice, like a gentle stream, echoed in the car.

“Keep driving.”

As if anticipating her Lady Empress’s decision, as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zhao quickly took out her tablet.

“There’s a clinic 3 kilometers away. We can get there in 5 minutes if we hurry. Drive quickly, don’t delay.”

The driver glanced at the Alpha, who was still behaving properly for now, stepped on the gas, and quickly got the car moving again.

He glanced sideways at the clinic location connected to the central control screen, feeling slightly relieved.

‘At my driving speed, we should arrive in 2 minutes.’

The guard team’s SUVs in front and behind had also stopped earlier.

The team members were about to go over and ask what was happening, but before they could even get out of their cars, the Empress’s vehicle shot off like an arrow leaving the bow.

The two SUVs hurriedly started chasing again.

At this moment, Shen Han was both uncomfortable and somewhat amused.

She recalled her Omega’s words to the driver just now: Keep driving.

She thought, isn’t this one of the classic lines from those tycoon novels before her transmigration?

Those domineering CEOs loved to say this when taking advantage of the female lead in the back seat.

There was also raising the partition in the middle of the car, the car circling around and around on the road, the female lead being thrown out on the roadside like a rag doll.

As she thought about these things, the Alpha felt her body becoming more uncomfortable.

Blood flowed rapidly through her glands, breeding a strong desire to invade.

She wanted to pin down the delicate, soft Omega beside her on the back seat, to drink in her fragrance, to possess all her beauty.

Gu Junwan took a scent-blocking patch from her assistant, first applying it to herself, then lifting the long hair at the back of the Alpha’s neck to press the patch onto her slightly swollen gland.

“We’ll be at the clinic soon, just hold on a little longer.”

Hearing the Omega’s clear, melodious voice, Shen Han’s body trembled slightly, but she dared not turn to look at her again.

She gripped the leather seat tightly on both sides, nodding as she panted.

With the scent-blocking patches, both the Alpha and Omega’s arousal was alleviated to some degree.

However, the snow cedar and cold plum that had diffused earlier still intertwined closely in the car’s interior.

Fortunately, the two in the front were Betas.

Otherwise, with the pheromones of two S-class powerhouses chasing each other in such a confined space, the others in the car would have exploded on the spot.

The car stopped directly at the clinic’s entrance.

The Beta driver ran out first; he needed to buy the suppressants needed by the two in the car.

Special Assistant Xu stayed in the car to watch over her Lady Empress.

The guard team members also got out of their cars, surrounding the driver.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

“Did Captain Shen get injured?”

The driver didn’t dare reveal what had happened in the car. He walked quickly while saying, “Don’t follow me. Go secure the perimeter. It’s the Lady Empress’s orders.”

Hearing this, the eight guard team members stopped in their tracks, but everyone’s expression was a bit off.

Because in their brief contact with the driver just now, they sensed the presence of two distinctly different pheromones.

The dominant snow cedar seemed to be asserting its dominance, or perhaps protecting the other scent.

The Alpha guards could only clearly smell the snow cedar, unable to detect the other.

Ning Xi immediately directed everyone to disperse and guard at a distance, not allowing anyone to approach the Empress’s vehicle.

The driver quickly returned with the prepared injections.

He didn’t dare enter the car again, only running to the passenger side door and knocking on the window.

Xu Zhao opened a small gap in the door, taking the two syringes.

Then she turned, kneeling on the seat, and quickly administered the injection to her Lady Empress.

When she was about to reach into the back seat to inject the Alpha,

Gu Junwan spoke softly to her: “I’ll do it. You wait for me outside the car.”

Xu Zhao was momentarily stunned, then realized this was the Lady Empress wanting to soothe her Alpha.

So she quickly got out of the car.

As soon as the outsider left, Shen Han, who had been holding up all this time, immediately collapsed sideways, lying on her Omega’s lap.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Gu Junwan’s slender waist, inhaling her clear, elegant scent, feeling both comfortable and unbearably restrained.

Gu Junwan gently stroked her head, brushing aside the long hair at the back of the Alpha’s neck to inject the suppressant.

The cool liquid eased the burning in her glands.

Shen Han quietly waited for the medication to take effect, not moving from her Omega’s lap.

Gu Junwan looked down at the little lion refusing to budge from her, gently smoothing her fur.

The air conditioning hummed in the car.

The Omega’s golden phoenix eyes were full of tenderness.

She was about to whisper some words meant only for the two of them when she realized the person on her lap had already drifted off to sleep.

Outside the car, about five meters away.

Xu Zhao removed her glasses, gently wiping them with a soft cloth, and spoke in a low voice: “Pretend you didn’t see anything between the Lady Empress and Captain Shen. Don’t tell anyone.”

The driver stared at the specially treated car windows that prevented anyone from seeing inside.

Hearing Xu Zhao’s words, he immediately nodded vigorously and asked cautiously: “So am I considered an ‘insider’ now?”

Xu Zhao: “……” Why don’t you just go audition for a boy band?
