After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

Chapter 143 : Leaving a Mark

The spacious back seat was as comfortable as a sofa.

Warm ambient lights accentuated the current tranquility and intimacy.

Gu Junwan gently stroked Shen Han's hair, her movements soft and slow.

The Alpha's hair was fine and smooth, feeling like silk to the touch.

Due to her disguise, Shen Han's exposed skin had been darkened.

Gu Junwan avoided her partner's face, instead playfully twirling one of her ears.

Shen Han's ears were also very sensitive.

Each time the Omega's fingertips brushed over them, it sent a jolt of electricity. Before long, her entire ear had turned red, as if engorged with blood.

Noticing the changes in her partner's body, Gu Junwan felt a small sense of accomplishment.

This feeling was entirely different from her usual work successes. It was an intimacy unique to the two of them, irreplaceable by any other matter.

Given they were in a car, Gu Junwan didn't dare tease her partner too much.

She withdrew her fingers and returned to stroking Shen Han's hair, saying, "Over the past week or so, you've sporadically arrested over a dozen Yongle Gang members, drawing attention and dissatisfaction from the Zhou K Group's criminal faction."

Hearing this, Shen Han immediately propped herself up slightly, looking into the beautiful golden eyes inches away, and asked, "Do I need to ease up? Maybe slow down the arrest rate or something?"

Gu Junwan, seeing her own face reflected in those clear dark eyes, suddenly felt her ears grow warm.

The knowledge that her beloved was completely focused on her filled her with satisfaction and joy.

"No need to ease up. Arrest decisively whenever the opportunity arises."

As Gu Junwan spoke, her eyes curved in a smile. "I'll cover for you, so just charge ahead."

"You've now been labeled as part of the Zhou K Group's new guard faction. Your actions here will ignite an all-out war between the two factions across various domains."

Gu Junwan's words were extremely concise.

She told her partner about the upcoming goals and progress but said nothing about her own efforts throughout the process.

One on the front lines, one behind the scenes, they jointly directed this intricate battle to cleanse the financial groups.

Although Gu Junwan didn't elaborate on the details, Shen Han knew that her wife was the one working the hardest.

The financial group's upper echelons weren't fools. How could they be so easily provoked into war?

Her wife must have set many hidden traps to make some absurd events seem reasonable.

Take what she had done in the 546th Street district, for example.

Over a dozen drug dealers from the Yongle Gang had disappeared. Did people really not know they had vanished at her hands?

The answer was obviously no.

Those hidden in the shadows who knew the truth were aware that the drug dealers had fallen to Shen Han.

They had simply confused Shen Han's identity and purpose. Before the truth was revealed, they all believed this was a manifestation of the Zhou family's internal strife, and they watched the spectacle with endless amusement.

"Wife, you're amazing."

Shen Han placed her hands on either side of Gu Junwan's seat, trapping her between herself and the car's backrest in a small space, then leaned in to kiss her red lips.

Knowing her partner couldn't stay long before leaving, Shen Han kissed her particularly tenderly.

She discreetly moved in front of Gu Junwan, hunching over with one knee on the small cushion between them.

She leaned forward, pinning the other, pressing close.

Gu Junwan tilted her head back, her body completely limp, allowing the other's plunder.

Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for some time, suddenly being kissed so aggressively, she quickly found herself overwhelmed.

Her glandular blood flow accelerated.

The barrier patch on the back of her neck also began to heat up.

Gu Junwan instinctively tried to dodge, but was held tighter in the other's embrace.

A faint pine scent wafted out, infusing its warmth into the cool plum blossom scent.

The Alpha's pheromones seemed to cast a spell, making Gu Junwan want to lose herself in them.

"N-no... we can't."

Gu Junwan pushed against Shen Han's shoulders, actively separating their lips.

Her breathing had become unsteady, her flushed face exuding fatal allure.

Shen Han knew she should restrain herself, but she couldn't control her longing for the other.

Lowering her gaze to Gu Junwan's alluring red lips, her breathing became heavy again, the veins on the back of her hands bulging like little blue demons.

Gathering herself, Shen Han pleaded softly, "Wife, can I leave a mark on you?"

Gu Junwan gripped the other's collar, shaking her head slightly. "Xu Zhao and the driver will be back soon. Can... can we wait until next time for marking?"

Gu Junwan was too embarrassed to speak plainly.

If her partner bit her neck in the car, she wouldn't want to let her leave.

She would want the Alpha to stay and comfort her.

Shen Han moved her head forward, gently pressing their foreheads together, pleading again, "Wife, I don't mean marking. I want to leave a kiss mark on your chest. When you see it, you'll think of me immediately."

Hearing this, Gu Junwan's face grew even hotter, her heart racing uncontrollably.

But under Shen Han's persistent coaxing, she ultimately didn't refuse.

Given permission, Shen Han's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

She kissed along the other's jaw, her peripheral vision zeroing in on the collar. She carefully undid the tie and the buttons beneath.

Gu Junwan wore the suit she had on for work that day.

The white shirt collar was cinched by a dark tie. Combined with the wearer's cold, otherworldly face, she exuded an air of abstinence.

Now, the Empress's sacred and mysterious aura was being peeled away by her Alpha, revealing the exquisite delicacy within, like a work of art.

Snow-white as jade, with undulating peaks.

It was enough to make one's blood surge!

Shen Han buried her face, gently nipping a small patch of white skin.

She kissed with a sort of reverence, like a pilgrim prostrating before Gu Junwan.

When Gu Junwan had agreed earlier, she hadn't anticipated her body would react so strongly.

She trembled uncontrollably, unconsciously cradling Shen Han's head.

She didn't know if she wanted to push the other away or pull her closer.

This time, however, Shen Han didn't push further.

After leaving a visible kiss mark on the snow-white skin beside her partner's cleavage, she stopped.

"Wife, you smell so good."

Shen Han savored the moment while rebuttoning the other's shirt.

Gu Junwan had been left in a state of unfulfilled arousal by a certain Alpha.

Her truest desire wanted more, but the current environment and situation made it impossible for her to voice this.

With nowhere to vent her frustration, she simply hooked her arms around the other and bit down hard on Shen Han's neck, covered in makeup.

Shen Han hunched over, motionless, letting the other bite.

She figured she must have hurt her wife earlier with her sucking.

After all, the skin there was so delicate.

She'd have to be gentler in the future.

Gu Junwan had only meant to vent a little, but unexpectedly, this bite left a bleeding mark on Shen Han's neck.

She exclaimed in surprise, then lightly touched the deep tooth marks on the other's neck, hurriedly asking, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Shen Han caressed her Omega's lips, then added, "My neck is made up. Do you want some water to rinse your mouth?"

With this small incident, the unsatisfied desire Gu Junwan had felt earlier dissipated.

She turned to look out the car window at the nearby night stall, curious about the words "Proudly sponsored by Manager Shen" on the triangular banner. "Is that the small wonton business you had the nightclub staff set up?"

The car windows had been specially treated.

The interior view of the outside was very clear, but from outside, the interior was completely invisible.

Shen Han also turned her gaze to the night stall.

At a long table assembled from several portable tables, a group of young men and women were craning their necks to look at the Flying Dragon Phantom.

"Yes, it just opened recently, but business is already picking up."

"Maybe in a few months, they won't want to go back to being low-level lackeys at the nightclub. Running their own small business not only earns them more than before, but the money is also more reassuring to spend."

Shen Han's initial intention was simply to make those idle youths self-reliant, but Gu Junwan's considerations were more long-term.

As financial groups are restructured in the future, many entertainment centers operating in gray areas will certainly be shut down.

How to guide those who lose their jobs was an issue Gu Junwan had to consider in advance.

Entertainment and tourism are public demands. If an industry chain could be formed with regional characteristics as an attraction, it would definitely boost the local economy and improve people's lives.

Every aspect of daily life - clothing, food, housing, transportation - requires labor.

Often, as long as people can change certain mindsets, diligence and effort can make life better and better.

After briefly planning the future economic structure of the area in her mind, Gu Junwan returned her attention to the present.

She winked at her Alpha. "I want to taste those wontons."

Shen Han grinned. "Sure thing, just wait in the car. I'll go get you a bowl right away."

"Don't let that unassuming stall fool you. The taste is even better than what we used to eat on the pedestrian street back at the base!"

As she spoke, Shen Han found her black-framed glasses and put them back on.

She had turned off the special glasses' functions when she ran out of the entertainment center earlier. Otherwise, her intimate moment with the Empress would have become a live broadcast.

But now that she was going outside, the disguise had to be maintained.

After putting on the glasses, Shen Han immediately moved to open the door and get out.

Just as she was about to move, Gu Junwan grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Wait, spray some air freshener before you go."

Shen Han put on a look of sudden realization and quickly took the small bottle Xu Zhao had left, moving to the car door to spray herself.

Although they hadn't released pheromones earlier, they had still been in close contact.

Going to the night stall like that would indeed be inappropriate.

As Shen Han eliminated the scent on her body,

The group sitting around the long table was experiencing emotional turmoil.

Though there was no evidence, everyone was convinced that the person Manager Shen had gotten into the car to meet must be an Omega.

And a particularly wealthy and powerful one at that!

As soon as Manager Shen got in the car, the driver and the secretary in the front passenger seat had promptly moved to a nearby SUV.

So the question was, what were Manager Shen and the person in the back seat doing in the car?

Even a toe could figure out they must be doing something secret that couldn't be seen by others!

This sort of thing was too common outside the entertainment center.

Sometimes you could even see the car shaking.

They just never expected that this time, the protagonist of the scandalous affair would be the 'particularly abstinent' Manager Shen!
