After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

“As an instructor, can’t you distinguish the limits of training?”

The sealed training room was completely silent.

Therefore, Shen Han’s slightly angry rebuke seemed particularly violent.

At least in He Meng’s perception, it was so.

Her back pressed tightly against the chair, the exposed skin painfully pressed by the cold, hard alloy.

But her body was going soft.

The pressure brought by this S-rank alpha before her was too intense.

He Meng felt like a lamb cornered and about to be pounced on.

The crisp snow cedar scent swept in with aggression, causing this omega, who had always been invincible in training sessions, to lose all defenses.

“I-I have my limits,” He Meng’s voice was thin and weak, sounding quite unconvincing.

After all, she was an instructor, and Shen Han didn’t want to intimidate her too much.

After standing for a few seconds in front of the chair He Meng had collapsed into, she turned and walked back to her own seat.

Watching the alpha’s retreating figure, He Meng let out a long breath, feeling like she was about to collapse.

Fortunately, at this moment, the training room door opened.

Over a dozen staff members filed in.

He Meng was the first to be escorted out by two betas.

Just as she was supported to the corridor, a dragon-like roar came from the room behind.

“Your performance has disappointed me! Everyone, 30 kilometers of loaded cross-country!”

“Shen Han! 50 kilometers for you!”

…

Gu Junwan didn’t let many people know she had visited the training room today.

After all, she wasn’t really there to closely monitor the guard team’s special training.

After quietly leaving the training area, her lips were still slightly curved upwards.

It was evident that the empress was in a very good mood now.

Xu Zhao, originally not one to indulge in gossip, couldn’t help but ask softly: “Your Majesty, is Shen Han’s temper so volatile in private?”

Hearing this, Gu Junwan’s smile became even more mysterious.

Those beautiful golden phoenix eyes seemed to have a faint light dancing in them.

At this moment, her thoughts suddenly drifted back to when she first met Shen Han.

The other seemed to have no temper at all in front of her.

Xu Zhao observed her expression, knowing she wouldn’t get an answer.

Just as she was sighing inwardly that the empress had begun to keep little secrets from her since having an alpha, she heard the other say softly: “Prepare some ointment, we’ll go to the apartment later.”

…

He Meng only stayed in the medical room for a short while before being sent back to her quarters by staff.

She had only been slightly shocked, not even needing medication, and the whole process was just answering a few questions from the doctor.

After returning to her residence, the more He Meng recalled what had just happened, the more stifled she felt.

She immediately called her best friend.

She recounted what had happened in the training room that afternoon.

Shen Han, as the main object of her complaints, received the most concentrated fire.

He Meng felt she had talked herself dry.

She clamped her phone between her ear and shoulder, took out a bottle of sparkling juice from the refrigerator, and began to sip it.

On the other end of the phone, a soft voice laughed: “To scare you enough to be sent to the medical room, that alpha’s pheromones must be intense and domineering.”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t even be angry now. Such an exceptional alpha, don’t you want her pheromones to run wild inside you?”

Her friend’s words traveled through the tiny electric current into He Meng’s ear, stirring a sensitive nerve somewhere.

The snow cedar scent suddenly seemed to explode on her tongue.

The image of the young alpha approaching her step by step like a lone wolf floated in He Meng’s mind.

“How can you be so shameless!” He Meng suppressed the restlessness in her heart, her voice tinged with conflict, “But I’m their instructor now, it’s not good to have private contact with students, right?”

“Haha, what are you afraid of? Alpha-omega love doesn’t violate discipline. Besides, with your grandfather’s backing, who would dare touch you even if you caused trouble?”

After finishing her phone chat with her friend, He Meng’s entire mindset had changed.

She made several phone calls in succession, and after obtaining the information she needed, she plunged into the bathroom.

…

Although punished to run 50 kilometers, Shen Han felt a secret joy in her heart.

Now she could know very clearly that she wouldn’t easily react to other omegas’ pheromones.

In her ‘sea’, there was only one mermaid – Gu Junwan!

Although individual cases couldn’t represent all situations, this didn’t prevent her from being happy.

After taking a shower at the training ground, it was already 7 p.m.

With two rest days coming up, Shen Han planned to return to her apartment to make something to eat and have a good sleep.

50 kilometers of loaded cross-country, even for an S-rank alpha with superior physique, was still very exhausting.

Just as Shen Han was about to enter the apartment lobby.

She was stopped by a somewhat familiar voice.

“Shen Han!”

At the source of the sound, an omega wearing a light-colored fitted spaghetti strap dress was standing up from a bench by the flower bed.

It was none other than He Meng, whom she had briefly encountered in the training room that afternoon.

Perhaps from sitting too long, the omega swayed slightly as she stood up.

That thin yet sexy figure looked particularly graceful in the summer evening.

Shen Han stood still, asking with slight confusion: “Instructor He?”

At the same moment the two were speaking.

Not far from the apartment, at a corner, two figures suddenly halted their advancing steps.

Xu Zhao, with a baseball cap on her head, a mask on her face, and carrying a pile of things in her arms, whispered: “Your Majesty, are we still going out?”

Beside her, Gu Junwan, equally ‘fully armed’, didn’t respond, only raising her hand to make a silencing gesture to the other.

Usually, when the two came to this apartment at night, simple disguises were enough to avoid being recognized.

This apartment was a residential area set up for some compound staff, with a low occupancy rate.

Today’s situation was somewhat different.

So, both had changed into different outfits, looking mysterious, somewhat like celebrities avoiding paparazzi.

They had intended to come and reward the alpha who had performed well today.

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the apartment vicinity, they witnessed this scene.

Unable to successfully attract the alpha over, He Meng had to approach the other herself.

“I’ve come to apologize for this afternoon.”

“It was indeed my fault first, how could an alpha’s gland be casually touched by an omega?”

He Meng walked gracefully on her long legs, her words and actions exuding an alluring charm.

But before she had walked halfway, Shen Han’s impatient voice already carried over.

“Alright, I forgive you, you can go now.”

She was now tired and hungry, and the area around her neck gland was still faintly aching.

Yet the instigator was blocking her way and rambling, she felt her hot temper was about to be provoked again.

The alpha’s reaction was clearly beyond He Meng’s expectations.

She halted in her tracks, for the first time doubting the attractiveness of her own pheromones.

He Meng frowned, looking at the alpha not far away with a strange expression.

She wasn’t sure if the other was genuinely uninterested in her? Or playing hard to get?

At this point, Shen Han also furrowed her long brows.

She took two steps forward, her voice suddenly rising: “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have a problem with me?”

After saying this, she fiercely charged over!

He Meng immediately turned pale with fright, screaming as she turned to run.

Her thin high heels struck a string of terrified ‘click-clack’ sounds on the stone pavement, and soon, faint cries of pain from the woman could be heard.

She might have twisted her ankle.

In fact, Shen Han had only chased for five or six steps before stopping.

The lingering rich datura fragrance in the air made her feel somewhat stifled in her chest.

She forcefully fanned the air with her hand a few times, then pinched her nose and ran back to the apartment.

In the dim corner.

Xu Zhao gently slapped a mosquito dead on her arm, then said in a voice smaller than a mosquito’s hum: “Your Majesty, she seems particularly volatile today. Are you sure it’s alright for you to go in alone later?”

Hearing this, Gu Junwan let out a light laugh.

Her clear and pleasant voice, slightly vibrating through the mask in the air, stirred a hint of gentleness.

…

Shen Han had just entered her apartment when, less than five minutes later, she heard a familiar knock on the door.

Everyone has their own habitual actions.

Gu Junwan didn’t like pressing the doorbell; each time she came, she would first knock three times, then add one more.

The alpha, who had been frowning just a second ago, immediately raised her eyebrows and ran to open the door upon hearing the knock.

This time, Special Assistant Xu didn’t stand in the hallway feeding mosquitoes, but carried a pile of things in her arms, entering the alpha’s apartment along with her empress.

Then, she very tactfully took the bags to the kitchen to cook.

Shen Han wasn’t idle either, brewing tea and washing fruit, completely forgetting her fatigue from the 50-kilometer loaded cross-country run she had just experienced.

The subtle fragrance of cold plum slowly spread in her nostrils.

It very well soothed the alpha’s irritable mood from earlier downstairs at the apartment.

Watching Shen Han busying herself back and forth, Gu Junwan pondered for a moment, then spoke: “I heard from Instructor Liu that you were punished today, and it seems your neck was also slightly injured.”

“Does the wound still hurt?”

She was too embarrassed to tell the other that she had been watching from behind the wall during the prospective guards’ special training in the afternoon.

She had even seen that omega instructor’s inappropriate touching.

Hearing Gu Junwan mention this, Shen Han immediately became pitiful.

She quickly came to sit on the sofa, brushed aside the hair at the back of her neck, and turned her head to look at the other: “It hurts so much! It’s burning! Quick, help me take a look.”

The alpha, completely unguarded towards her, thus exposed her gland before her eyes.

Gu Junwan had originally come to apply medicine for her, but at this moment, she began to feel nervous and her heart started racing.

The air conditioning in the room was quite strong, yet the omega empress’s body was subtly heating up.

The snow cedar scent seemed to endlessly spread outwards, gentle yet scorching.

“The area around the gland is slightly reddened. Lie down, I’ll apply some special ointment for you, it’ll feel better.”

The omega’s melodious voice flowed over like a gentle stream.

More refreshing than the cool night breeze.

Shen Han didn’t even think about why the other would bring gland-specific ointment instead of general neck wound medicine.

After all, a certain omega had earlier said “I heard your neck was somewhat injured.”

The young alpha’s eyes rolled mischievously.

Then she kicked off her slippers and lay on the sofa, face outward, thus resting her head on Gu Junwan’s lap.

“Miss Gu, go ahead!”
