After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

Chapter 217 : Teasing

Some time had passed since Gu Junwan's public confession, but online discussions continued unabated, showing signs of developing into a nationwide celebration.

The couple's dedicated fans were the most elated.

With the Empress's relationship now public, the forum thread about the Female CEO and Super Soldier King naturally became a testament to their love story.

Thanks to diligent moderators, the thread was never locked for violations.

Its fame grew, even attracting foreign netizens who bypassed firewalls to "make pilgrimage."

In Ksenrode's royal district, Prince Joris watched the recorded video on his tablet, smiling wryly: "So Shen Han is her Alpha? No wonder she said that. It truly was 'impossible to part with.'"

Suddenly remembering something, he turned to ask the castle steward: "Princess Quintina must have seen the video of the Empress and Shen Han too, right?"

The old steward nodded, then lowered his voice: "The princess saw it this morning and cried. Would you like to go comfort her, Your Highness?"

Joris considered, then shook his head: "Better let her be. There's nothing to comfort."

After a pause, he added: "Losing to the Empress, isn't that quite normal?"

In the Jiying Empire's capital, Prince Walker threw his phone in anger after watching the video his assistant shared.

Two years ago, he had suffered a sonic attack at the Empress's residence.

This incident remained an unsolved mystery within the entire envoy team, with no one knowing who the "outlaw" was.

Now the truth had finally come to light!

However, realizing that the person who had secretly attacked him was now Gu Junwan's partner made Prince Walker's ears ache.

It was as if those sky-piercing sound waves were crashing towards him again...

In the Qubi tribe of Mount Zhixing, Free Federation, dozens of people squatted or sat in the small assembly square, staring dumbfounded at the projected screen before them.

Roads had been built into the mountains, and villagers now engaged in mutually beneficial trade with city merchants.

The villagers' lives had improved greatly, and gathering to watch TV projections in their leisure time had become the most popular entertainment for the tribe's youth.

They saw Shen Han in military uniform on TV, and the Federation Empress's confession to her.

The crowd was collectively stunned for several minutes before erupting into astonished commotion.

As the chieftain's daughter and leader of the younger generation, Su Mu's words and actions were closely watched.

Now, the youths who knew of her feelings for Shen Han shifted their gaze from the screen to her direction.

Su Mu glared, shouting at the crowd: "What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll knock your heads sideways!"

The tribal youths immediately fell silent.

Su Mu left the small square with an exaggerated strut.

Upon returning to her family's quarters, her expression visibly saddened.

Su Mu's mother quickly approached, stroking her daughter's head: "What's wrong? Didn't you go watch TV with Ashi and the others?"

Hearing this, Su Mu felt somewhat empty inside.

She lowered her gaze and said: "Mother, I saw the person Shen Han likes on TV. She's as beautiful as a phoenix, and she clearly loves Shen Han too. I can feel it."

Su Mu's mother fed her a peeled candy, smiling as she spoke: "Shen Han has found her happiness. You should be glad for her."

Su Mu nodded slightly: "I will wish them well."

At a public high school in the Fourth District of the Free Federation, Jiang Shuyi stood at the end of the dormitory hallway, holding a smartphone and remaining silent for a long time.

She had always harbored an image of a tall figure in her heart.

Two years ago, when she was tricked into a bar and about to be forced and bullied, a tall, slender Alpha stood before her, granting her endless courage and hope.

She searched for a long time before learning that the Alpha was the Empress's close guard.

Jiang Shuyi had planned to find her at Peace Palace after getting into Imperial Capital University, to share her gratitude and joy.

Now, she felt she had neither the need nor the courage to seek her out anymore.

That was the Empress's Alpha, after all!

"I hope you'll be happy, my hero."

At a women's prison near the border of the Third and Fourth Districts of the Federation, Chen Yanjiao, dressed in prison uniform, stared unblinkingly at the wall-mounted TV.

She sat upright in the row of low stools, her mind seemingly struck by lightning.

Her shock at this moment was beyond measure.

The Shen Han in the news broadcast was none other than the "Shen Nuan" who had come to investigate the Fugui Gang before!

Heavens! She had once detained and flirted with the Empress's Alpha!

On 546th Street in the Federation's Second District, Yan Ni, Mu Ze, and a group of young men and women gathered at the hot pot restaurant they co-owned.

Amid the clinking of glasses, Mu Ze boasted with a grin about once being the Empress's Alpha's follower!

As he spoke, he sighed: "No wonder Manager Shen didn't even glance at the top hostess at the entertainment city back then. Her Omega was that person! How could anyone else compare!"

Yan Ni laughed along with her companions.

Her eyes held a thin mist, but her heart was at peace.

Shen Han's admirers all silently wished her well with bittersweet hearts.

Meanwhile, those who viewed Gu Junwan as a goddess fainted crying in the bathroom.

Mainly because no one had expected that Empress, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, would express her love to an Alpha in front of the whole world!

It was too enviable!

……

After the New Year, the Empress's wedding was put on the agenda.

Guest invitations, observances by foreign delegations, process planning, and security arrangements—

Each was a mentally taxing project.

Even with professional teams handling these matters, Shen Han was still overwhelmed with busyness.

Equally run off her feet was Teacher Tang.

The two Alphas were so dedicated that the two Empresses at home had little room to intervene.

Gu Junwan was happy to take it easy, simply handing over all wedding preparations to Shen Han.

But when she saw her Alpha devoting all her time to this, she couldn't help feeling a bit jealous.

The reason was quite amusing.

A certain Alpha wasn't content with being busy all day; she even continued making calls to the planning team after returning home at night.

Previously, it was Gu Junwan who brought work home, finishing tasks before being carried to bed by Shen Han.

Now the situation had reversed.

Moreover, Gu Junwan lacked the strength to carry the Alpha away from her "work post."

On this day, as the time approached 11 PM, Gu Junwan, who had been alone in the bedroom for a while, still hadn't heard footsteps at the door.

She put down her paper book, slipped on her slippers, and nonchalantly walked towards the adjacent study.

Her lush black hair cascaded down her back, swaying lightly with each step like dancing sprites.

The silk nightgown's style was slightly vintage, with soft light like moonshine falling upon it, accentuating her already perfect figure even more beautifully.

Gu Junwan glided along the villa's corridor, like a dangerous night monarch.

The wooden door of the study was turned open.

Shen Han craned her neck to look at the door, her eyes immediately brightening upon seeing her wife.

"Honey, wait just a moment, I'm almost done!"

Gu Junwan didn't reply.

She walked to the side of a certain silly Alpha, bending slightly to look at the computer screen on the desk.

As she bent, countless strands of hair slid from her shoulders.

A faint plum fragrance spread in a small area, causing the Alpha's cheeks to flush.

Gu Junwan raised her hand to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear, asking softly: "Deciding what level of gifts to prepare for different guests is best left to Xu Zhao."

The meaning of these words was very simple, but Shen Han's attention could no longer focus on work.

She turned her head to look at Gu Junwan's profile, unconsciously breathing more heavily.

The Omega's skin was like fine jade, delicate and fair, translucent and flawless.

Her features were exquisite and perfect, like a classical beauty stepped out of a painting.

Shen Han's gaze shifted slightly, falling on the Omega's swan-like elegant neck.

Hidden beneath that black hair was a mysterious area that could make her lose herself.

Gu Junwan knew the Alpha was stealing glances at her; she could even hear her swallowing.

She maintained a calm expression, but a hint of smugness welled up in her heart.

The hair-tucking gesture just now was, of course, intentional.

She didn't believe the silly Alpha could continue working seriously in the face of her approach.

Now it seemed the effect was quite good.

"Alright, you can continue working. I'm going to bed first."

Leaving these words behind, Gu Junwan turned to leave.

But before she could take a step, she was embraced from behind.

Shen Han tightened her arms slightly, carefully feeling the Omega's slender waist.

She lightly inhaled her hair's fragrance, her heart fluttering as if floating on clouds.

Gu Junwan's body softened in the embrace, but her voice remained as steady as before: "What is it? Weren't you going to work a bit longer?"

Shen Han buried her head in the fragrant, soft crook of her neck, murmuring: "I don't want to work anymore."

The warm breath on Gu Junwan's neck, that faint cedar scent, was like countless invisible hooks, constantly stirring the Omega's passion.

Gu Junwan tilted her head back slightly, her breath becoming unsteady as she spoke: "Then... what do you want to do?"

Shen Han whispered a few words very softly in her ear, causing Gu Junwan's entire face and neck to flush bright red.

"No... you haven't even showered."

Shen Han lifted her up, continuing to nuzzle her: "Sister can shower with me."

Gu Junwan softly called her a "rascal," then wrapped her arms around the Alpha's neck.

Where Shen Han couldn't see, her red lips curled into a smile.

That smile was cunning and lively, like a little fox whose plan had succeeded.
