After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

When the Ninth Supervisory Group’s special action team burst into the bar,

Men and women on the first-floor dance floor were still rocking obliviously.

Only when the music stopped and bright lights illuminated the entire bar like daylight did most people realize Azure Bar was being raided.

At this moment on the second-floor VIP area,

The nightclub executives were still dreaming of whitewashing the situation.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the case officers, Shen Han was also quite surprised.

She had originally planned to go to the police station to file a report overnight.

After all, strike while the iron is hot.

She had gone to great lengths to create an explosion, aiming to catch big fish.

Seeing the only plainclothes man in the action team walk towards her, Shen Han immediately went to meet him.

She wanted to probe the other’s background.

Unexpectedly, before she could speak, the plainclothes man handed her an encrypted phone.

“What’s this?”

“Xu Zhao’s call.”

Hearing the plainclothes man’s reply, Shen Han immediately took the phone.

She walked a few steps to the side, found a relatively quiet spot, then put the phone to her ear.

“Special Assistant Xu? How did you know I was here?”

On the other end of the line.

Xu Zhao’s deliberately lowered voice urgently came through the current: “Her Majesty’s condition isn’t good. Come back to the apartment quickly.”

Xu Zhao’s words were very brief, but the information impact on Shen Han was immense.

She involuntarily gripped the phone tightly.

Her anxiety far exceeded when she had a gun pointed at her head earlier.

“What’s wrong with her? What happened?”

Her response was only the busy tone on the other end of the line.

After returning the phone to the plainclothes man,

Shen Han tossed a “I’ll go ahead” to her two teammates and immediately ran towards the stairway.

She encountered no obstruction along the way.

Seeing her panicked expression, Ning Xi felt uneasy and also ran towards the stairs, following suit.

But just halfway there, she was stopped by two action team members.

Ning Xi immediately became irritated: “Hey! Didn’t you hear just now? I’m on the same side as her, why can she go through but I can’t?”

A female omega in police uniform faced her sternly: “Miss Ning, please cooperate with our work.”

Ning Xi glanced at the work badge on her chest, sighing: “I’m not causing trouble either. As a law-abiding good citizen, I’ll definitely fully cooperate with your work.”

“Can you put away your gun first?”

In another area,

Jiang Shuyi, about to be escorted out by action team members, managed to buy herself a brief moment.

She ran to Ma Haoyu’s side, looking at the alpha who seemed not much older than her: “Brother, can you tell me your contact information or address? I want to thank you all.”

Ma Haoyu thought for a moment, then shook his head: “This is what we should do. I’ll convey your thanks to them.”

…

Shen Han drove her Flying Dragon McLaren, speeding all the way, parking the hovercar on her apartment rooftop as fast as possible.

Rushing to open the door and enter the room, she immediately saw Xu Zhao waiting in the entryway.

“What’s wrong with Junwan? Is she injured or sick? Has a doctor seen her?”

Looking at the disheveled, sweaty alpha before her,

Xu Zhao first made a shushing gesture, then said concisely: “Your confrontation with the police at Azure Bar, Her Majesty saw it all.”

“Huh?” Shen Han followed Xu Zhao towards the bedroom, asking quietly: “How did she see it? So she was frightened by the gunshot scene?”

As they spoke, the two had arrived at the bedroom door.

“Mm, we’ll discuss the ins and outs later. The doctor just prescribed some calming medication for Her Majesty. She’s asleep now. Go in and see her.”

With that, Xu Zhao gently turned the doorknob, stepping aside to let the alpha in.

This would never have happened before.

But at this moment, she felt it was better to let Her Majesty be alone with the other.

Earlier in the office, Xu Zhao had nearly been scared out of her wits.

If Gu Junwan’s weak state had been seen by those with ulterior motives and secretly spread, who knows what turmoil it would bring to the newly stabilized situation?

A heartache needs heart medicine!

Xu Zhao made a quick decision, arranging for Her Majesty to be sent directly here.

As expected, she wasn’t wrong.

When Her Majesty arrived at Shen Han’s house, the situation immediately showed marked improvement.

Xu Zhao and the elderly doctor together helped Her Majesty to the bedroom.

After assisting Her Majesty to take the medicine, the old doctor went to another room in this building to stand by.

Shen Han approached the bedside gently yet swiftly.

Looking down at Gu Junwan curled up asleep in her blanket, the tension she had felt all the way finally eased somewhat.

But what followed was deep guilt.

Had she known Gu Junwan was watching her actions earlier, she absolutely wouldn’t have fired that shot towards the wall behind.

Although Shen Han was absolutely certain she wouldn’t hurt herself,

In others’ eyes, that shot was truly aimed at her head!

Thinking that Gu Junwan became like this out of fear for her safety,

Her entire heart was nearly filled with regret and pity.

Shen Han slowly crouched down, resting her elbow on the bed edge, observing the sleeping omega’s face.

This was her first time seeing Gu Junwan sleeping peacefully.

Different from her coolness and dignity at work,

At this moment, Gu Junwan was no longer that long-reigning, universally revered empress, but more like a fragile and obedient girl next door.

She lay curled on her side in the warm blanket, her exposed half-hand still tightly clutching the blanket corner.

As if this warm world filled with the alpha’s scent was the source of all her security at this moment.

The empress omega’s lustrous black hair spread out on the white pillow.

Exuding a kind of lazy beauty.

Her breathing was somewhat shallow.

The cold plum fragrance, like misty clouds, intertwined with the snow cedar scent on the blanket.

Even under such close observation, the empress omega’s features were flawless.

That delicate skin was like the finest jade in the world.

Those lightly pursed red lips were like a ripe and sweet devil’s fruit.

Making one sink, making one want to go crazy for it.

As Shen Han looked on, she began to feel something was amiss.

The accelerated blood flow made her body and face start to heat up.

Her heart seemed to pound uncontrollably against her chest.

Her breathing gradually became heavier.

The gland on her neck stirred restlessly.

She wanted to further intertwine with the omega’s cold plum before her.

Wanted to fully release deep within that subtle plum fragrance.

She also wanted to kiss those alluring red lips so close by.

Shen Han was no longer the naive alpha she had been when she first crossed over.

Realizing she had been aroused by the omega before her, she immediately took action.

She restrained herself from releasing her pheromones.

Forcibly shifted her gaze from Gu Junwan’s face.

But just as she was about to stand up and leave the room, her peripheral vision caught the other’s slender hand that had somehow slipped out from under the blanket.

Shen Han carefully extended her palm, her long fingers resting on that porcelain-white wrist.

At first glance, it looked as if she was about to take the other’s pulse.

Just as she had moved Gu Junwan’s slender hand back under the blanket,

The omega’s delicate jade hand suddenly grasped back, holding the alpha’s fingers.

The warm skin carrying the cold plum fragrance transmitted to the alpha’s palm.

Shen Han felt as if struck by an electric current, a tingling sensation spreading from her wrist to her heart.

She knelt on one knee, frozen at the bedside, her back tense, not daring to move.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Shen Han could even hear the rapid flow of restlessness and excitement in the blood vessels of her neck gland.

She was reluctant to leave.

After adjusting her breathing for quite a while,

Shen Han finally sat sideways on the carpet by the bed.

She used one arm to support her head, leaning against the bed to rest her eyes.

And her other hand remained held by the omega.

She only moved the blanket corner to cover both their hands.

The elegant cold plum scent surrounded the alpha’s nose, as if claiming ownership, expelling all scents not her own.

Shen Han had originally thought she would endure her desire all night.

Unexpectedly, before long she fell asleep leaning her head against the bed.

She even had an amorous dream about Gu Junwan.

…

Although Gu Junwan had fallen into a drowsy sleep under the effects of medication,

She actually wasn’t sleeping soundly.

In her dreams, the scene of Shen Han being shot and falling kept appearing over and over.

Gu Junwan knew she was having a nightmare.

Yet she couldn’t wake up.

The lingering snow cedar scent in the air grew fainter and fainter. Fear, like cold vines, wrapped around her waist and chest, squeezing the oxygen from her lungs.

Just as Gu Junwan was about to be enveloped by suffocating gloom,

A warm yet domineering snow cedar scent suddenly burst into her world.

Cutting through thorns for her, dispelling clouds to reveal the sun!

Being wrapped in her beloved alpha’s scent gave the omega an unprecedented sense of security.

She clung greedily to that scent, then relaxed completely and fell asleep.

6 AM.

Gu Junwan woke first, driven by her biological clock.

Usually at this time, the empress would already be washing up and changing clothes with the service of beta maids.

But today the situation was clearly different.

As soon as Gu Junwan opened her beautiful eyes, she saw a head resting at her bedside.

Her peripheral vision also showed an unfamiliar place, not her familiar bedroom.

Her heart immediately tightened.

But then, the empress omega relaxed again.

Because the one at her bedside was none other than Shen Han.

She remembered, she had been brought here by Special Assistant Xu. This was Shen Han’s residence.
