Chapter 102 1/2

Jiang Wanlan remained non-committal. Their son was going back with Cen Lang to meet the family, so he prepared some gifts and packed a few things for himself.

Lu Jing waited at the door and took his luggage firmly, as if afraid Jiang Wanlan might go somewhere else.

Jiang Wanlan chuckled lightly, rubbing the back of his neck. Jiang Baobao had said his susceptible period would come within a day or two, and he’d already had many injections.

He followed Lu Jing onto the aircraft, arriving at a small villa.

Lu Jing had indeed prepared in advance. The lawn at the entrance was trimmed, a doormat was laid at the entrance, and the bedroom had new bedding and curtains.

Jiang Wanlan opened the fridge, seeing fresh ingredients and drinks. Like a curious cat, he patrolled around, wanting to see how Lu Jing, who had been on Zhulu Star for twenty years, had set up the house.

The bathroom had a pair of toothbrushes and cups, and the closet had two sets of pyjamas.

Jiang Wanlan liked to lay out various patterned rugs in the house, making it easier for the baby to crawl around and recognise things, and Lu Jing had done the same.

Although the child had grown up, the grandchildren could still use it.

Lu Jing’s house was close to the research institute. Jiang Wanlan imagined a family of three, four, no, five people living here. It didn’t seem so bad.

He pursed his lips, looked around, and then glared at Lu Jing. “Are you just going to wait for my susceptible period to come?”

Lu Jing thought for a moment. “Wife?”

Jiang Wanlan gasped. “He calls the baby ‘wife’ even though they aren’t married yet.”

Such thick skin.

Lu Jing looked as if he had anticipated this. “If I learned from him, you’d be angry.”

Jiang Wanlan stubbornly refused to admit it.

Lu Jing moved closer, hugging Jiang Wanlan. “He also said you frequent the nursing home to get me back to Earth.”

Jiang Wanlan’s eyes flickered. “Did you listen?”

Lu Jing said, “I couldn’t stay on Zhulu Star any longer, so I came back with him.”

Lu Jing continued, “As long as you need me, I’ll be by your side, no matter how many people oppose it.”

Jiang Wanlan’s voice was tinged with a bit of grievance. “But you’ve been on Zhulu Star for so long. How do I know you can still come at my call?”

He could only exaggerate his illness to see if Lu Jing would return for him.

Originally, the news would take some time to reach Zhulu Star, but Cen Lang had leaked it early, so Lu Jing returned earlier than expected.

Lu Jing said, “I’m sorry.”

He firmly added, “What I said before is always valid.”

Jiang Wanlan teased, “What did you say before?”

Lu Jing replied, “I support you.”

“I love you.”

He spent twenty years proving these seven words through his actions.

Jiang Wanlan was overjoyed and unreservedly said, “Lu Jing, I want to bring forward my susceptibility period. Do you have any way to help?”

A long time ago, Jiang Wanlan said the same thing.

The pheromones of a top Alpha could induce the susceptibility period earlier or even trigger differentiation.

Back then, Old Master Jiang arranged for him to have a blind date with someone Jiang Wanlan considered a scumbag. With such a long lifespan, those rich bastards often went astray as they aged.

Whether intentionally or not, the date was scheduled right during Jiang Wanlan’s susceptibility period.

Jiang Wanlan couldn’t afford to take that risk.

Twenty-three-year-old Lu Jing had clearly never experienced such a situation before. The noble Omega looked at him as if asking for a kiss, and he froze. If there was a red dot aimed at his forehead at that moment, he would likely have been shot dead on the spot.

Jiang Wanlan’s eyes were beautiful.

Lu Jing’s mind went blank, even suspecting that this Communications Omega had some sort of mission to test an Alpha’s willpower.

“You can see a doctor,” Lu Jing suggested.

Jiang Wanlan’s beautiful eyes dimmed. “See a doctor? If my father finds out, he’ll move the date earlier. I might as well go on the blind date with that scumbag.”

Lu Jing frowned. “No.”

Jiang Wanlan: “Why not?”

Lu Jing: “You haven’t graduated yet. You can’t go on a blind date.”

Jiang Wanlan’s lips curved slightly. He hadn’t met any of his blind dates, making Old Master Jiang furious. Yet, Lu Jing knew about every single one.

Jiang Wanlan: “I’ll ask another top Alpha then.”

Lu Jing reached his limit. “My suggestion is…”

Jiang Wanlan turned and hugged the Alpha, whose pheromones had started to overflow, taking a deep breath. “It works so well, Lu Jing.”

The school had a special basement to isolate pheromones for students entering their susceptibility periods.

Lu Jing stayed with Jiang Wanlan from the beginning to the end of his susceptibility period, temporarily marking him.

At that time, he thought he must buy a big house for Jiang Wanlan, with a spacious bathroom and kitchen.

Jiang Wanlan could bathe comfortably while he cooked for him.

…

In Lu Jing’s big house.

Jiang Wanlan said, “I want to end my susceptibility period early to take care of the baby. Why, is that too much to ask?”

Lu Jing: “Wouldn’t it be bad to induce it early?”

Jiang Wanlan’s susceptibility periods were already irregular due to early glandular tumours.

Jiang Wanlan sat on the bed, arms crossed. “I don’t know. Why don’t you ask the baby?”

Lu Jing: “…”

Jiang Wanlan directly dialled Jiang Ping’s number. “You ask him.”

“Hello, Dad.”

“Baby, can I use pheromones to induce Wanlan’s susceptibility period early?”

“Yes, Dad.”

“If you have any issues with the Cen family, give me a call.”

“Okay. Dad’s gland has been poked with many needles, so try to avoid licking the surrounding skin too much. Don’t bite too deep when doing a temporary mark.”
