After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

After injecting Shen Han with the suppressant, her heart full of curiosity, Xu Zhao left with her briefcase.

On her way to the villa, she had been somewhat worried about her Empress.

But after seeing Shen Han, she genuinely felt her concerns were rather unnecessary.

Xu Zhao believed: Shen Han would undoubtedly take meticulous care of the Empress.

Indeed, this was the case.

After returning to the second floor, Shen Han went directly to the bathroom, filled a large basin with hot water, and carried it back to the master bedroom where Gu Junwan was.

The Omega on the bed was already fast asleep. Shen Han planned to give her a simple wipe-down.

Having spent the entire day in the enclosed command post, a quick wash would help her rest better.

Gu Junwan’s skin was delicate and fair, like snow or jade.

Her aura alone was enough to support her nobility and beauty.

Because of this, she usually only wore makeup when attending events or receiving foreign envoys, relying on routine skincare for daily work and life.

Shen Han squeezed the soft silk cloth between her fingertips after dipping it in water, then brushed it over Gu Junwan’s cheeks as lightly as a feather.

The Omega’s neck was very sensitive, so Shen Han, fearing she might wake her, didn’t continue wiping that area.

Her gaze shifted slightly, looking at the other’s clear jawline and the beautiful curve of her neck. The desire she had just suppressed now showed signs of resurfacing.

After an intense inner struggle for quite some time, Shen Han finally couldn’t resist.

She brought her head close to Gu Junwan’s neck, secretly inhaling her cold plum fragrance.

She tried her best not to let her lips or nose tip touch the other’s snow-white skin.

She lingered for several minutes near the Omega’s neck with just her two exaggeratedly protruding canine teeth, before reluctantly moving away.

For a moment, Shen Han felt like one of those vampires in movies sneaking into human rooms.

Wanting to bite the prey’s neck, using the sweetness flowing within to quench her own flames of desire.

After this delay, the hot water in the basin had cooled down.

She had no choice but to go to the adjacent bathroom to get fresh hot water.

Although the master bedroom had its own soundproof bathroom, the door was a sliding design.

Considering that opening and closing the door would make some noise, Shen Han didn’t use it.

There weren’t many areas that needed wiping for Gu Junwan, just three places: face, hands, and feet.

The face and palms had already been taken care of.

Finally, at the foot area, Shen Han’s movements became even gentler.

After removing the socks, a pair of exquisite jade feet suddenly appeared before the Alpha’s eyes.

The beautiful feet under her gaze were slender and fair, their form translucent like a work of art.

Shen Han’s heart began to race uncontrollably.

She didn’t know what was happening to her. While silently cursing herself as a pervert, she couldn’t control her eyes from continuously staring at Gu Junwan’s jade feet.

Those beautiful delicate feet were like deadly weapons, their allure and destructive power maxed out, stepping on Shen Han’s heart, ‘killing’ her with no defense.

Perhaps because the feet had been exposed for a bit too long, Gu Junwan unconsciously moved slightly.

The light pink toes, like little devils, exuded extreme sensuality.

Shen Han felt as if all the blood in her body was about to ignite.

The suppressant she had just injected now seemed barely able to contain the signs of heat rising from her heart.

She quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at Gu Junwan’s feet any longer.

Swiftly yet carefully, she wiped down the tempting ‘work of art’ before her and hastily moved it under the covers.

After finishing all this, Shen Han found herself drenched in sweat.

She walked to the bedside and looked down at her Omega’s sleeping face, only to find that she wasn’t sleeping very peacefully.

Earlier, when wiping Gu Junwan’s cheeks, she had been sleeping soundly and calmly.

Now, her two fine eyebrows had furrowed slightly at some point.

At this moment, Gu Junwan gently turned over, changing from lying flat to facing Shen Han’s direction on her side.

One of her hands was tightly gripping the corner of the blanket, and the outline under the soft cover had changed from relaxed to curled up.

Humans often curl up their bodies when lacking a sense of security, a posture unique to babies in their mother’s womb.

Shen Han had originally planned to wipe Gu Junwan’s skin and then make do with the bean bag chair in the corner for the night.

But now, she had different thoughts.

Silently opening the wardrobe, Shen Han selected a set of oversized cotton pajamas, then went to the adjacent bathroom.

The villa was well-stocked with daily necessities.

Shen Han didn’t have to worry about whether there were spare underwear or toiletries.

After blow-drying her hair, she returned to the master bedroom in her pajamas.

‘I’ll just hold Junwan while we sleep, do nothing else. That should be fine, right?’

‘After all, her sleep quality looks very poor. If she suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night, it might be hard for her to fall back asleep.’

After giving herself a lengthy pep talk, Shen Han finally walked to the other side of the large bed, lifted a corner of the blanket, and slipped in.

The moment she lay down, the bed immediately showed a slight depression.

Shen Han inched herself to the middle area, then dared not move any further.

Gu Junwan was sleeping closer to the edge of the bed. If she forcibly moved closer, she might not only wake her but also frighten her.

So, the Alpha lay straight and stiff in the center of the large bed.

A few minutes later, she turned to her side, staring at the back of her Omega’s head.

At this time, only a floor lamp was left on in the bedroom, and the light had been dimmed.

From Shen Han’s angle, she could only see Omega’s lush long hair spread on the pillow, and a small outline of an ear peeking out from the strands.

She was wide awake.

The Omega’s scent permeated everything around her.

The more Shen Han urged herself in her heart to sleep early, the more excited her cerebral cortex became.

In the end, she simply gave up.

At this moment, Gu Junwan turned over, unexpectedly moving towards Shen Han’s position.

Shen Han’s nerves instantly tensed.

Taking advantage of the other’s turning motion, she quickly extended her arm and pulled the nearby figure into her embrace.

Suddenly being enveloped by a heat source made Gu Junwan feel uneasy.

She began to struggle, as if she might wake up at any moment.

Shen Han quickly released a small amount of pheromones.

At the same time, she stroked the other’s delicate back, helping the Omega in her arms quickly adapt to the current situation.

Perhaps it was the Alpha’s scent that took effect, or maybe it was the familiar embrace that made Gu Junwan feel very safe.

After struggling lightly for a few moments, she finally curled up in Shen Han’s arms and continued her sleep.

Feeling the other’s body relax again, Shen Han felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

She gently rested her chin on top of the other’s head, closed her eyes, and fell asleep not long after.

At the same moment.

Li Jianye, hiding in an old, unregistered hotel, was making one phone call after another with a gloomy face.

Besides White Ant, there was no one else with him.

Just as Gu Junwan had told Gu Yuwei earlier, he didn’t dare trust even his own people easily.

The few bodyguards who had helped him at the rest home were sent out on interference missions before he arrived at this hotel.

“Yes! Everyone from the Northern District office, all rush to the secret base at the eastern port of the Third District to wait for pickup. Be quick, depart immediately!”

After hanging up the last call, White Ant timely handed over a cup of hot tea.

Li Jianye took it but didn’t drink. He was constantly running his brain, analyzing the countermeasures Gu Junwan might take.

The fact that she could force him into this state of hiding here and there, even after losing direct control of the Northern District, was something Li Jianye hadn’t anticipated before.

“Gu Yuwei is such a fool! If I had known she was so incapable, I should have secretly eliminated her during the coup!”

“She actually follows her sister’s orders to implement a full-scale blockade against me. Does she think her sister will completely return sovereignty to her after this matter is over? Extremely stupid!”

White Ant knelt beside him and spoke gently: “Commander, don’t be anxious.”

“Gu Yuwei may be prone to foolishness, but Yu Xiao beside her isn’t. Their great-grandmother and mother both lost to you. I believe the one who will ultimately win this game will still be you.”

Li Jianye nodded: “You’ve had it tough these years. It’s a pity Red Fox and Black Rat couldn’t continue with us.”

“If only I could bring you all back to Ying country, how nice it would be to live together like a family in the future.”

White Ant lowered her eyes: “Yes, living with the commander all these years has been so wonderful.”

……

8:30 in the morning.

Gu Junwan woke from her deep sleep.

This was the best night’s sleep she had in months, so much so that even her biological clock had failed.

By this time usually, she would already be in work mode.

As soon as her thoughts returned, Gu Junwan sensed something was amiss!

She seemed to still be wearing her military uniform, and her last memory from last night should have been in the sofa area, not the bedroom!

More surprisingly, she was holding someone!

The frightening emotions instantly drove away her lingering sleepiness.

But immediately after, the shock in her heart completely transformed into embarrassment.

Without needing to look, Gu Junwan already knew who she was holding.

She could never mistake her Alpha’s unique scent.

Moreover, if it wasn’t Shen Han, she wouldn’t have been able to sleep an entire night without any alertness.

“Awake?”

Hearing the Alpha’s slightly hoarse voice, Gu Junwan felt even more embarrassed.

She didn’t dare raise her eyes to meet the other’s gaze, maintaining her position leaning against the other’s chest, and softly made an “Mm” sound.

Shen Han knew she was shy, so she didn’t tease her.

“You were too tired yesterday and fell asleep on the sofa. I was afraid you wouldn’t sleep well, so I… I also came up.”

“But don’t worry, I didn’t do anything bad. Also, I asked Special Assistant Xu to help arrange everything with the guard team and security.”

Gu Junwan could guess most of what Shen Han said with a little thought.

Moreover, she also believed that her silly Alpha wouldn’t take advantage of her.

At this moment, her attention was actually drawn to some other things.

‘Sleeping while hugging her is really comfortable! Like a big heater.’

‘Hmm? She seems to be wearing my pajamas!’

‘What should I do? I don’t want to get up anymore.’
