When Fu Chaoyun Transmigrated to Pei Xuezhi’s World 2.0
Domineering President Pei VS Wolf Cub
1
Fu Chaoyun was eighteen years old this year.
The night before, she had just differentiated into an Alpha, not yet accustomed to her completely transformed body;
The next second, she appeared on an unfamiliar street lined with towering buildings.
Night had fallen, and the city lights were just beginning to glow.
By the time she regained consciousness, Fu Chaoyun had no idea how long she had been waiting in front of this tallest skyscraper.
Even the people working overtime were gradually leaving their companies and heading home, and one by one, the lights went out.
The time here seemed to be early spring; the weather was slightly cool, yet she was still wearing summer clothes. The chilly night wind made the muscles in her limbs stiff. Fu Chaoyun tried to get up, but only managed to lift her head slightly.
Revealing a pair of amber eyes, brighter than the city lights, more brilliant than the stars.
“Stop the car.”
A clear, cold voice came from the silver Rolls-Royce that was about to pass. The vehicle stopped abruptly, the door opened, and a pair of long, slender legs in high heels stepped out.
The person took small steps, unhurriedly yet firmly walking to the spot where the light had flashed moments before.
An eighteen-year-old Alpha, no matter how popular and spirited she was on campus, now suddenly thrown into another world, limbs frozen as she squatted there, looked truly pitiful.
Like an abandoned big dog?
“You—”
A clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out, cold, seemingly more chilling than the wind that wrapped around her, yet so beautiful, like the tinkling collision of jade stones, instantly capturing her ears.
Fu Chaoyun looked up.
Twenty-eight-year-old President Pei, Pei Xuezhi, who had just finalized an international cooperation deal and was about to head to her cold “home,” looked down and once again met those amber eyes.
She hadn’t seen wrong.
Perhaps the big dog’s posture was too pitiful, or perhaps she was swept up by an unknown, gentle instinct; President Pei, dressed smartly in a suit and high heels, actually bent down slightly, her voice even softening by a few degrees.
She wasn’t used to showing a soft demeanor, still appearing somewhat stiff, but in this situation, it seemed extraordinarily gentle.
“Do you want to come with me?”
—Certain things, in a strange way, in another corner of some time or world, replayed themselves.
Fate, truly is wonderfully inexplicable.
And right now.
The young and beautiful Fu Chaoyun stared fixedly at the woman who had appeared before her, or rather, the older sister.
She opened her mouth.
“Are you… going to keep me2…?”
The domineering President Pei: “…”
2
Eighteen years old, she should probably be called a “young lady,” right?
The speed at which this young lady in front of her accepted things surprised even Pei Xuezhi.
It seemed that from a very, very young age, she knew that girls could be with girls.
Later, she was pushed by a strange force, urging her to continue researching in this direction, eventually making her one of those inherently attracted to women.
However, she didn’t dislike it.
She even had a feeling that she was destined to be this way; it was her fate.
But now, this was the first time she had encountered the topic of being “kept.” President Pei’s growth trajectory had been far too busy!
In her childhood, she had to learn various kinds of knowledge to enrich herself, as if a voice was constantly nagging in her ear, insisting that she study hard, exercise…
Could it be her mother who passed away early?
Subconsciously, Pei Xuezhi denied this guess.
For fun, mostly.
While studying, she occasionally had to deal with her paternal and maternal cousins3 who came looking for trouble, something Pei Xuezhi was very adept at handling.
When she got older, she studied business management while simultaneously fighting wits and courage against that large family, suppressing them all.
At this time, there also seemed to be a voice in her head, teaching her how to do things, as if she had already gone through it once.
However, Pei Xuezhi was quite certain that this voice was not the same as the one urging her to study.
Mom and Dad?
This baseless speculation made Pei Xuezhi laugh.
A pleasant kind of laugh.
Until now, the once insignificant and marginalized Pei Xuezhi had officially become President Pei, completely inheriting and controlling everything of the Pei family, even making it bigger and stronger. Those “relatives” who had tried to bully her in the past could only barely survive under her, living miserably.
What else could they do but tuck their tails between their legs?
Even their parents and grandparents now had to act according to her mood to get by.
Her journey had destined Pei Xuezhi not to be a very compassionate person, nor empathetic.
But the moment the other person looked up, it was as if a small deer had rammed into her heart. On an impulse, she had stopped and said those words to the other party.
But thinking along the other person’s lines, keeping a little plaything at home to relieve boredom… seemed not bad?
Wait, that didn’t seem to be the main point right now.
What made a pitiful young lady stranded on the street blurt out the words “keep me”? Was she a fallen woman?
Pei Xuezhi looked at the person again.
The young lady undoubtedly had a beautiful face. Pei Xuezhi hadn’t cultivated her own emotions over the years, partly due to busyness, and partly due to a vague sense that the time wasn’t right.
But even with this gap in her experience, her basic aesthetic sense remained. The young lady, huddled like a big dog, possessed a face so bright it was almost dazzling. Especially those amber eyes and naturally curly hair, they almost poked right at her XP4, practically having a wild disco party5 on them. And because she wasn’t old, a flower was most delicate when it was about to bloom but hadn’t fully opened.
The thought, tinged with malicious speculation, was quickly snuffed out by Pei Xuezhi the moment it surfaced.
While her subconscious denied it, she herself didn’t want to think negatively of the other person.
—Why would she say that?
Pei Xuezhi wanted to ask, but the other party’s reaction was a step faster than hers. Did she have a bit of a chatterbox trait?
“Are you an Omega?”
“What?” This truly hit Pei Xuezhi’s knowledge blind spot. She tried to explain it with knowledge she was familiar with, “A watch brand, or the physics symbol Ω?”
Just one sentence made Fu Chaoyun realize that this situation was different from what she generally knew.
The Alpha lowered her head, “Nothing.”
Then she looked up again.
“I’m willing to go with you.” At the same time, meeting that beautiful face, the eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun, who had a strong preference for good looks6, subconsciously sweetened her words.
“Jiejie, I’m willing.”
3
Fu Chaoyun thus stayed at Pei Xuezhi’s home, temporarily finding a place of support.
As her understanding of this world deepened, Fu Chaoyun learned that this world had no concept of ABO; they only distinguished by the initial gender at birth, male and female.
Heterosexuality was the mainstream. Indeed, situations where women got together with women did occur, but they were extremely rare and might even face discrimination.
Only then did Fu Chaoyun realize how flippant and offensive her initial words to Pei Xuezhi had been. Yet, not only did the other party not mind, she even brought her back. Clearly, that person didn’t seem like someone who enjoyed meddling in other people’s business. Could it be…
At this thought, Fu Chaoyun’s heart began to pound.
In her earlier years, she had no idea what it meant to be moved, but now she was eighteen, differentiated, a mature Alpha. Shouldn’t she also experience the taste of first love?
Although she might also be the only Alpha here, with no Omega to match with her.
But that wasn’t a problem!
Fu Chaoyun herself wasn’t interested in those AAOO pairings; she subscribed to a doctrine of following her heart. Besides, as an Alpha, she wasn’t much different from the natives of this world.
Without the influence of pheromones during an Omega’s susceptible period or an Alpha’s rut, the pheromones in her body tended to be stable, though occasionally there were accidents—
“Little friend, have you been drinking?”
When Pei Xuezhi returned home that evening, she smelled a faint aroma of red wine in the house.
Pei Xuezhi usually had to drink a little for social engagements, but always in moderation. And as her business empire grew larger and more impregnable, there was almost no one at banquets who dared to pressure her to drink.
Thus, Pei Xuezhi wasn’t averse to red wine, nor was she particularly fond of it.
“No,” Fu Chaoyun quickly denied.
She couldn’t very well say her pheromones had leaked—a newly differentiated Alpha couldn’t fully control herself yet. She didn’t want to tell Pei Xuezhi because her origins and gender were hard to explain, and also because…
It’s so embarrassing.
Pheromones were an instinctive reaction of her secondary organ.
Pei Xuezhi had picked up the eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun, but she was merely keeping her, perhaps a bit more meticulously. Not only did she use connections to get her an ID card, but she also sent her to school.
After all, eighteen was the age for studying. She had gone through it herself, so how could the other person not study?
It was just pitiful that the eighteen-year-old Alpha, having just finished her college entrance exam7 and received her acceptance letter, had to take it again here. Fortunately, most of the knowledge was common, and Fu Chaoyun also proved she wasn’t a useless freeloader.
Usually, Pei Xuezhi had to work, and Fu Chaoyun had to study. Even if they stayed under the same roof at night, they didn’t spend much time together.
Until the day Fu Chaoyun brought back her college entrance exam results. President Pei took them. At home, she had taken off her suit jacket, letting her smooth, dark hair fall naturally, revealing a bit of natural casualness.
“Not bad.”
Was that encouragement?
It had to be said, Fu Chaoyun, who was usually surrounded by admirers at school and unbearably arrogant, felt quite pleased at this moment.
Damn it, it’s just two words, “not bad.” Strictly speaking, it doesn’t even count as praise, but she just…
Pei Xuezhi suddenly reached out and patted the little wolf dog’s8 head. “Keep up the good work.”
“Okay.”
Eyes bright, full of motivation.jpg
—This is what they call “every dominant thing meets its match9.”
The university Fu Chaoyun chose was in the city, not far from Pei Xuezhi’s apartment. She returned every day, and Pei Xuezhi also returned here every night. They each had their own room, greeted each other when they met, or had dinner together, but there were no further actions.
Occasionally, very occasionally, Fu Chaoyun would encounter academic problems and trouble Pei Xuezhi. Pei Xuezhi would always look up and glance at her, staring until the Alpha felt a little flustered, but in the end, she would always find time amidst her busy schedule to help explain things.
A tacit understanding existed between them.
Right now, after the shame and anger, the eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun was a bit annoyed. “Don’t call me little friend!”
Pei Xuezhi chuckled, clearly not taking Fu Chaoyun’s protest to heart.
An eighteen-year-old girl, for someone her age, was indeed a little friend. She was a full ten years older than her.
However, the way the little friend stubbornly insisted she wasn’t a little friend was also quite amusing.
Pei Xuezhi raised an eyebrow again. “Then you were drinking secretly?”
“No… alright, I did drink, just a little bit.” Since it was hard to explain, she might as well admit it.
“Control the amount. I don’t want the house reeking of alcohol.”
“Is that all?”
Pei Xuezhi glanced over. “Hmm?”
Fu Chaoyun quickly said, “Don’t you have anything else to say? Or, you don’t dislike it?”
“Why should I dislike it?” Pei Xuezhi retorted.
Most of the time, she didn’t seem like an easygoing person, nor did she have much patience for repetitive work, but she was willing to spend a little more effort on this little cub she had picked up.
“You’re already an adult, of course you have the right to try things you want to try. But whether it’s drinking or smoking, don’t indulge too much. You have to be responsible for yourself.”
President Pei, rarely, was lecturing the little cub she brought back like a reliable adult. But the cub didn’t seem to appreciate it; her amber eyes looked a bit red.
As if she had become fierce.
Fu Chaoyun said, “Then if I truly covet you, is that also okay?”
It wouldn’t be disliked… right?
4
The young wolf cub lacked patience and finally, uncontrollably, confessed her feelings to her adopter.
Although Fu Chaoyun lived with Pei Xuezhi, nominally, Pei Xuezhi was not Fu Chaoyun’s guardian. They could be together.
The temperature in the room was comfortable, and the living room lights were quite bright, clearly illuminating the expressions on the faces of this cohabiting pair with an age gap.
An ambitious wolf cub and a calm, indifferent adult.
Eighteen years old still had room for growth, so Fu Chaoyun tilted her head slightly to look at Pei Xuezhi, who was a tiny bit taller than her—it didn’t matter, she would soon catch up and surpass her.
In her eyes, there was covetousness, unwillingness, greed…
Ultimately, Pei Xuezhi suppressed it all with one hand. She cupped Fu Chaoyun’s head and pressed it down, her voice as cold as if it could seep ice.
“You can try.”
It sounded very much like a threat, but the wolf cub was unwilling to give up. She defiantly raised her head, yet didn’t completely break free from the other’s restraint, which was also a gesture of her submission.
The words that came out of her mouth were blunt, full of youthful sharpness.
“Does ‘try’ mean you agree?”
Pei Xuezhi pressed down on her even more firmly. Fu Chaoyun bore it, resisting, trying to find a balance between the two. Finally, Pei Xuezhi eased her strength.
Fu Chaoyun was able to look up and once again see that beautiful face she coveted and yearned for.
So indifferent, yet so captivating.
That person seemed to smile, and even the originally soft lighting became dazzling.
“Yes.”
—Success.
5
Fu Chaoyun, eighteen years old and full of sharp determination, officially launched her offensive against Pei Xuezhi.
Even if you haven’t eaten pork, haven’t you seen pigs run10?!
The young woman’s methods of pursuit were vigorous and unconcealed, but she remembered to keep them within limits, not causing any trouble for Pei Xuezhi in her life or work. The variety was plentiful, and the means were endless.
But Pei Xuezhi was, after all, twenty-eight. Some of the young people’s tricks, she saw them. Amusing, yes, but also undeniably childish. Moreover, President Pei, already a big BOSS at twenty-eight, had a layer of pride. How could she simply agree after a simple pursuit?
Thus, the pursuit began, but what Fu Chaoyun faced daily was a constant stream of rejections.
The Alpha’s first courtship attempt met with setbacks, but she wasn’t discouraged—caring about face won’t get you a wife!
Even though Pei Xuezhi repeatedly dismissed her little tricks with disdain, she approached her again and again.
Of course, there were moments of disappointment.
But gradually, Fu Chaoyun discovered, wasn’t Pei Xuezhi just teasing her? Perhaps it was another kind of an interesting dynamic?
The night she realized this, she abandoned her previously prepared roundabout tactics and directly went full Alpha.
“President Pei,” she chose this form of address, which seemed somewhat distant, but at certain specific moments, it was more ambiguous than any words. “Do you, or do you not, have even the slightest bit of interest in me?”
Pei Xuezhi was dealing with work at that time. The temperature had turned cool again, and she wore a thin jacket even at home. When working, she had a pair of glasses perched on her nose, giving her an aloof and refined temperament, somewhat like a refined scoundrel11.
“What, are you giving up?”
Fu Chaoyun gritted her teeth. “How could I?”
Pei Xuezhi looked at her, her words as vexing as her appearance. “Then does my attitude matter to you?”
“No! It! Doesn’t!!!”
Fu Chaoyun huffily uttered these three words and was about to leave, naturally holding her breath and preparing to redouble her efforts, when Pei Xuezhi suddenly called out to her.
“Come here.”
Fu Chaoyun was so angry, yet her feet had already honestly walked over.
“What?” Long-term frustration made her expression not so good, yet it contained a hint of expectation, submerged in her beautiful eyes, impossible to hide. Her tone was somewhat proud and petulant.
“If it’s unpleasant words advising me to give up, then don’t say them. It’s a buzzkill.”
Pei Xuezhi’s right hand lifted from her laptop, and then she stroked Fu Chaoyun’s fluffy, soft, naturally curly long hair.
“Keep it up.”
!
In an instant, Fu Chaoyun’s entire body stiffened.
The gold-rimmed glasses slipped down a bit, revealing Pei Xuezhi’s dark, deep eyes behind the lenses. Pei Xuezhi tilted her head slightly. When she looked over, Fu Chaoyun felt as if she had been accepted by the whole world. That hand was still resting on her head, carrying Pei Xuezhi’s unique coolness, yet it also felt warm, blending with the softness of the hand itself, as if she could ascend to the heavens.
“I look forward to more of your pursuit tactics.”
Socket connected…
Fu Chaoyun was fully charged!
Fu Chaoyun was about to explode!
The little wolf cub’s confidence instantly swelled to the extreme, pumped full of adrenaline. “Then you just wait!”
Pei Xuezhi turned her head, concealing an almost imperceptible smile at the corner of her lips. “…Mm.”
What unrequited love, what wishful thinking; it was merely a case of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai—one willing to strike, the other willing to be struck12. Neither should blame the other!
6
Fu Chaoyun was finally together with the older sister who had taken her home!
—Thanks to her own relentless pursuit.
Who would have thought that back then, she believed Pei Xuezhi was willing to take her away because she had taken a fancy to her beauty and wanted to keep her? She never imagined that in the end, she would be the one to offer herself up.
The kind that the other party only accepted after much feigned reluctance.
It wasn’t easy!
With the title secured, Fu Chaoyun officially began to exercise her rights, or rather, to demand her deserved sweetness.
Kissing, hugging, and cuddling were always indispensable. Some Alpha instincts were imprinted in her body. Driven by her body, as the intimacy escalated, such as when the tide of passion surged, she would instinctively cling to Pei Xuezhi’s neck.
President Pei was not an Omega, nor did she have a scent gland on her neck, much less could she emit pheromones to mingle with hers.
So Fu Chaoyun would gently grind with her sharp canine teeth, controlling the force within a range, not breaking the skin, leaving behind a lingering, unbearable intimacy.
President Pei quite enjoyed it at first, but after too many times, over too long a period—
“Are you a dog?”
She reached out to push away the wolf cub on top of her.
The twenty-eight-year-old President Pei, having navigated the business world and fought her way out of the Pei family’s den of wolves and tigers, naturally had a certain sharpness about her.
The eighteen-year-old little wolf dog was not afraid, but at this moment, noticing Pei Xuezhi’s rejecting gesture and hearing her words, she suddenly stopped her actions and stared fixedly at Pei Xuezhi.
Did I go too far?
Pei Xuezhi silently reflected on herself. Before she could make a decision, Fu Chaoyun pounced on her again, continuing to nuzzle and cuddle.
“I really am!”
Pei Xuezhi: “…”
What an adaptable Alpha!
What she got in return was her little girlfriend pushing her luck. Just as Pei Xuezhi had said earlier, eighteen wasn’t old, but she could do certain things—legally, reasonably, and when the time was right.
7
In the blink of an eye, Fu Chaoyun had been in this world for almost half a year.
Because she had been taken home by Pei Xuezhi early on, and now they had even become lovers, most of the time she was in a state of being too happy to think of home. However, occasionally, during her free time, she would miss the family she had spent more than a decade with.
Very filial. _(:з”∠)_
On second thought, she had an older sister back home to help with filial duties, so her parents should be alright, right? If there really was a chance to go back, she probably… wouldn’t leave either.
However, she could let her family know that she was doing very well and had even found her future other half, so they wouldn’t have to worry.
Her current situation seemed quite similar to settling abroad after marriage, didn’t it?
Thinking about it carefully, the Fu family genes probably carried a bit of the “forget your mother once you have a wife13” factor.
During this time, their feelings for each other had rapidly warmed up. Pei Xuezhi also seemed to have maxed out her luck buff14; her career and relationship were both flourishing. Even though she spent more time at home, her business empire remained stable and was even aggressively expanding outwards.
Gradually, people in the Pei Corporation came to know about Fu Chaoyun’s existence—as the golden canary15, the pretty boy16, kept by President Pei.
She herself didn’t care.
Let them talk; it wouldn’t make her lose a piece of flesh. Besides, only she knew the benefits and pleasures involved.
On this day, Pei Xuezhi also came home early and had dinner with Fu Chaoyun. After dinner, the two sat together in the spacious living room watching a movie.
As the movie played, Pei Xuezhi suddenly turned her head to look at her.
“You don’t ask me for homework help anymore?” There was a hint of teasing in her tone.
Fu Chaoyun’s face didn’t redden, nor did her heart skip a beat; she wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. “Mm, there are more important things than tutoring homework.”
“What?”
The remaining words were swallowed between lips and teeth.
…
The movie hadn’t even reached its halfway point, but the atmosphere was just right. Fu Chaoyun suddenly asked.
“When you brought me back then…”
“?”
“Were you coveting my beauty?!”
Pei Xuezhi: “…”
A brief silence, perhaps a moment of thought, and finally, Pei Xuezhi answered frankly, “That was part of the reason.”
Fu Chaoyun was stunned!
“Am I not good-looking enough?!”
To think I didn’t make my wife fall for me at first sight!
Pei Xuezhi: “…”
Having spent so much time together, Pei Xuezhi was already quite accustomed to her young lover’s peculiar way of thinking.
The movie chosen was a romantic love story, currently at a moment where the two protagonists were intimately confiding their love. Pei Xuezhi, however, reached out, her slender fingers tracing Fu Chaoyun’s brow, then moving to her eyelids, and finally caressing the corners of her eyes.
“Your eyes,” Pei Xuezhi said.
Beautiful eyes are just as good, right? At least it proves Pei Xuezhi had designs on me from the start.
The Alpha thought smugly, comforting herself in the process.
Pei Xuezhi continued.
“I’ve seen eyes as beautiful as these before.”
Pei Xuezhi had an excellent memory, remembering things from her very early childhood with perfect clarity. But strangely, the memory from when she was eight to nine years old was a blank.
It was as if it had been erased in a very forceful and unreasonable way. Afterwards, no matter how she tried to recall, she could only see a blur. She only remembered that it seemed to be a good memory; even if she couldn’t recall the specific content, her lips would unconsciously curve upwards just thinking about it.
In that hazy memory, there seemed to be a pair of brown eyes, perhaps lighter than brown. Chestnut? Amber? …Warm and encompassing, like a family member’s hand, gently soothing her baleful aura whenever she felt angry and unbearable.
That night, when Fu Chaoyun looked up and met her eyes, a sense of similarity welled up, tinged with a flutter she didn’t seem to have even in her childhood. So, she chose to stop the car.
Everything that followed seemed to fall into place naturally.
And now, illuminated by the warm lamplight, Pei Xuezhi’s posture was gentle, her dark, tender eyes reflecting the image of the person opposite her. But Fu Chaoyun felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her!
Slowly, she reacted—
“Oh no, I’ve become a substitute17?!!!”
8
Fu Chaoyun was jealous!
The kind that couldn’t be coaxed even with a kiss!
Eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun was still a bit young and impetuous. After learning that such a person existed in Pei Xuezhi’s life, she began to inquire everywhere, but found no news.
It could also be that Pei Xuezhi wasn’t valued much during that period, so nobody knew or paid attention.
As she inquired, the news somehow spread, and some younger members of the Fu family came, wanting to bribe Fu Chaoyun.
President Pei was now solely in power, and the rest of the Fu family members, regardless of generation, were severely suppressed.
Pei Xuezhi hadn’t hidden anything. Hearing about Pei Xuezhi’s affection for this young lover in recent months, they wanted to try their luck. Although subconsciously they felt Pei Xuezhi wasn’t the type to be swayed by emotions or a love-struck fool, this might also be a smokescreen she deliberately released to bait them.
But what if they tried?
It was already the worst-case scenario; even failure wouldn’t be much worse than their current situation. If they succeeded, it would mean immense wealth.
Fu Chaoyun only acted clingy in front of Pei Xuezhi. Although she was only eighteen, she used to be a favored child of heaven. Moreover, the Fu family itself was not short of money, and their family atmosphere was good, without too many troublesome matters. However, being in that circle, she had seen her fair share of family feuds.
Fu Chaoyun received the younger Pei family member. On the spot, she nodded and hummed as if she had taken everything in, even coordinating her expressions with the other party’s words. The moment she turned around, she spilled everything to Pei Xuezhi, tattling.
F#cking idiot!
She was jealous, yes, but not to the point of losing her sense of priorities. How could she possibly do something that might harm Pei Xuezhi?
Pei Xuezhi looked at the wolf cub before her.
As soon as Fu Chaoyun had contact with the Pei family members, someone had reported it to her—she had already crushed the rest of the Pei family, leaving them no room to breathe. But Pei Xuezhi was a cautious person and wasn’t afraid to imagine the worst. What if these few hungry dogs wanted to pounce?
Someone had always been monitoring those people, and any slight movement would be reported to her.
At that time, she would no longer show mercy.
Long after Fu Chaoyun left, she had already issued punishments for all involved in the plotting. They were mostly just petty, sordid activities18. Pei Xuezhi hadn’t given it a second thought afterwards. Now, hearing Fu Chaoyun mention it…
She didn’t explain, just patted her little girlfriend’s head. “Thank you.”
Fu Chaoyun was receptive, but quickly turned her head away, breaking free from Pei Xuezhi’s reach. She forced herself not to get lost in this sudden tenderness from the other party.
“I told you, but don’t think the previous matter is just over. If you don’t explain it clearly, then—”
Then what?
Pei Xuezhi’s dark eyes were deep, wanting to see what kind of imposing threat the wolf cub could utter.
The result.
“Then you can’t touch me!” Fu Chaoyun said the most cowardly words in the most assertive tone.
Pfft!
Who exactly is punishing whom here!
Pei Xuezhi smiled. The Alpha, who was currently sulking, became very angry and even glared fiercely at Pei Xuezhi.
Or so she thought.
In Pei Xuezhi’s eyes, it was merely a dog acting cute, even quite adorable.
“Actually—”
Just as she was about to explain, a bright light suddenly flared before her eyes, so dazzling it stung. When the light subsided, the eighteen-year-old, still angry Fu Chaoyun had already subconsciously shielded Pei Xuezhi.
Pei Xuezhi glanced at her first, then turned her attention to the strange phenomenon before them—another Fu Chaoyun and Pei Xuezhi had appeared in front of them!
These two looked to be of similar age, around the same age as this world’s Pei Xuezhi, but on closer inspection, it seemed that the newly arrived Fu Chaoyun was slightly older than her Pei Xuezhi?
The others also noticed them. That older Fu Chaoyun first looked at the Pei Xuezhi who had come with her. Though they had appeared suddenly, they seemed to be leaning on each other, looking completely unfazed.
That Fu Chaoyun first said softly to her companion, “This is the dream I told you about.”
While that Pei Xuezhi demurely surveyed the surroundings, she nodded slightly at the other. After the two Pei Xuezhi’s had greeted each other, the newcomer Fu Chaoyun then said to President Pei.
“Jiaojiao went to her grandparents’ house for the weekend.” She smiled, a gentle and loving (?) kind of smile.
“Long time no see, you’ve grown so big.”
The twenty-eight-year-old President Pei also said, “Long time no see, you’re still about the same, haven’t changed much.”
The eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun didn’t have such a good temperament to exchange pleasantries calmly with the other party.
At this moment, her sense of crisis exploded, especially when she noticed her own President Pei’s gaze also falling on that Fu Chaoyun. Her originally shielding figure instantly pressed closer, trying her best to block her lover’s line of sight.
“What the hell?!”
The reliable and mature adult Alpha glanced at the “self” that shouldn’t belong to this world, then at the Pei Xuezhi who had grown up in a few months. Now that the two were together again, she immediately understood their relationship.
Fate truly was most wondrous.
“So that’s how it is…” she sighed with emotion, a kind of motherly serenity (?) about her. “That’s good too.”
Eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun: “??????”
It’s even weirder now, okay!
Perhaps her gaze towards the other Fu Chaoyun was impolite, as she was soon blocked by the Pei Xuezhi who had come with her. That person’s gaze was gentle when looking at her Fu Chaoyun, but only cold towards this one.
Colder than when she first met the twenty-eight-year-old President Pei.
That Fu Chaoyun wanted to say something, but didn’t quite dare? In the end, it was her good President Pei who stepped forward and shielded her in return. “She’s still young, she doesn’t know anything.”
Eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun: “………”
So confused QAQ
But being protected is a little sweet? Yay!
Wait, I’m not that easy to coax!
9
The two sides sat down to talk.
One Pei Xuezhi plus Fu Chaoyun facing another Fu Chaoyun plus Pei Xuezhi. If not for the age disparity on both sides, they would look like perfect mirror images. Yet, even so, the scene was still somewhat peculiar.
Especially since the three adults among them were all very calm, while only the eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun was on high alert, which made it even more interesting.
Wait, eighteen years old should count as an adult, right?
Who cares!
Especially since the other Fu Chaoyun was still being affectionate with her own Pei Xuezhi, secretly whispering in her ear, “I was definitely not this stupid when I was eighteen. This isn’t me, I don’t admit it!”
Eighteen-year-old Little Fu: “…”
The other Pei Xuezhi, “I know.”
“…”
The eighteen-year-old “stupid” Fu Chaoyun could only turn her gaze to her lover, hoping she would say something. As a result, the domineering President Pei pursed her lips slightly and said aristocratically.
“Ahem, actually, she’s quite cute.”
So you’re admitting she’s stupid, aren’t you?!
Even if their IQs were the same, her social experience from just this past year was completely inadequate against these veterans!
After a few simple pleasantries, the conversation among the four turned into two separate private talks: Fu Chaoyun with Fu Chaoyun, and Pei Xuezhi with Pei Xuezhi—this arrangement seemed to be a precaution against something, but it was tacitly approved by everyone.
President Pei remembered everything.
In her blank memory from age eight to nine, there had once been an adult Fu Chaoyun who took care of her, taught her, and accompanied her through a brief, warm period.
All her knowledge about woman-woman love came from her. Until the other person had to leave to return to her wife’s side, she even sent her blessings and they promised to meet again someday.
It might also be due to the influence of this promise that they met again twenty years later, and by her side, she also had her “Fu Chaoyun.”
How magical.
Moreover, the flow of time in the two worlds seemed different. Twenty years had passed on her side, and she had transformed from a little girl into the current President Pei. Over there, it seemed not much time had passed.
The other’s appearance was just as before; she could recognize and remember her at a glance.
And, even though she didn’t know her name during that time, and even her appearance and memories were erased by a magical force, leaving only a vague impression, ultimately, this would become a trigger.
Waiting until the “Fu Chaoyun” who belonged only to her came to her world, to her side, to accompany her for life.
Then they fell in love, knew each other, loved each other… just as promised, introducing their lifelong partners to this pair of good friends, or rather, family, from the past.
Yes.
Even though President Pei maintained her composure, she still loved this wolf cub she had personally picked up.
However, due to their personalities, especially since both Pei Xuezhi’s were adults and the missing parts of their emotions had been filled, there wasn’t much to say when they got together now. Compared to matters of affection, they started talking about the Pei family and business matters.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and stiff.
On the other side, the two Fu Zhaoyuns, who initially didn’t get along well and had an age gap, were getting along splendidly after a short while.
As expected of the social butterfly19 Fu Chaoyun, times two.
The eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun asked her thirty-year-old self about family matters. Even though it wasn’t the same world, she felt temporarily relieved after getting an answer.
“I want to stay here,” she said.
The adult Fu Chaoyun looked at her strangely. “I can’t take you away either.”
They weren’t beings from the same world. The reason she could bring Pei Xuezhi here was probably due to a wisp of luck that the young Pei Xuezhi had left on her after that previous transmigration, a wisp that refused to go back.
All to fulfill a promise.
Eighteen-year-old Fu Chaoyun: “…”
Fu Chaoyun and Pei Xuezhi had come in a hurry. After visiting the two of them, the Fu Chaoyun and Pei Xuezhi from the other side also had to return to their own world. President Pei and the wolf cub saw them off.
This time, it was silent, only smiles.
No one said goodbye, because everyone knew that this parting meant they would never see each other again.
And everyone had found their own happiness.

“I never liked her, I only like you.” President Pei rarely lowered her head to coax her little wolf dog.
The same amber eyes. Perhaps she was indeed influenced by the impression of the one from her childhood, which was why she noticed Fu Chaoyun’s existence in the first place. But she also knew very clearly that her feelings for the former were not romantic love, while her feelings for the current one were affection and doting.
So she would unconsciously tease her, flirt with her… enjoying seeing the wolf cub show more emotions in front of her, and then feel pleased.
“Really?” The eighteen-year-old Alpha was fidgety, seemingly not quite believing it.
“Mm.”
After some thought, for the sake of future harmony in their wife-and-wife life, and after weighing the pros and cons, Pei Xuezhi decided to bring out her embarrassing past21. She rubbed her head, “She helped me a lot when I was young, and I’m indeed very grateful for her company. It was very warm…”
Fu Chaoyun’s face was already green with jealousy.
Next sentence.
“I saw her as a mother.”
“…” Fu Chaoyun, “Hahahaha!”
It had to be said, this move was truly effective. Fu Chaoyun was immediately coaxed.
Once she was coaxed, all the kissing and cuddling that had been interrupted for days had to be made up for, otherwise, it would be too much of a loss!
And because of the arrival of those two, especially that one’s explanations, President Pei finally knew what Alpha and Omega actually were.
She was different from that Pei Xuezhi; she was just an ordinary person, unable to accept the wolf cub’s mark. When passion peaked, she couldn’t help but stroke the back of the wolf cub’s neck, said to be where an Alpha’s gland was located.
The scent of red wine pheromones overflowed again. This time, President Pei wouldn’t mistake it.
“Will it be uncomfortable?”
According to that person’s explanation, Fu Chaoyun’s physical condition meant that an Alpha-Omega union was her natural state. That person even went so far as to become an Omega… Regrettably, the all-powerful President Pei seemed unable to solve this problem.
“It will,” Fu Chaoyun said.
President Pei was uncharacteristically nervous. Then, her ear was kissed by the clingy Alpha, who whispered to her, explaining the basic common sense of the ABO world.
“Alphas are stronger.”
Pei Xuezhi listened intently.
“For physical health, it needs to be channeled. The best way is to vent the excess energy.”
So?
Pei Xuezhi’s emotions were a bit dazed. She suddenly had an ominous premonition. The Alpha, who was hard to tell if wolf or dog, began to kiss the skin on the back of her neck again—this was indeed instinct.
“A few more times will do,” Fu Chaoyun said seriously.
Pei Xuezhi: “…”
Being improper again!
“Are there no other problems?”
“Mmm…” The Alpha’s kisses were sticky. “No.”
Pei Xuezhi: “…”
In the end, it was President Pei who took pity, or perhaps indulged, the wolf cub’s antics.
The eighteen-year-old Alpha had boundless energy. This night, they fooled around until very late. The scent of red wine pheromones lingered. After they both washed up and some time had passed, Pei Xuezhi was almost asleep when Fu Chaoyun suddenly started laughing again, mockingly.
“Hahahaha!”
Her mood was extremely joyful at this moment. While laughing, she hugged Pei Xuezhi and cuddled. “You saw her as a mom… That’s hilarious! You saw her as a mom, but you see me as a lover, hahaha!”
President Pei, who was already tired and had to work tomorrow: “…”
She could only pull the blanket and stuff this overly energetic wolf cub into it. “Sleep.”
“Oh~”
Fu Chaoyun obediently agreed. A moment later, another burst of laughter, giggling, sounded rather unsettling.
“You saw her as a mom, you saw her as a mom…”
Repeating it sentence by sentence, like a magic spell.
“………”
Pei Xuezhi covered the other’s chattering mouth, regardless of whether she could breathe or not, then turned sideways, directly choosing out of sight, out of mind. Sleep!

—So, two Fu Chaoyuns together weren’t that harmonious after all, at least backstabbing was inevitable.
