The Black Lotus Wife Forces Me to Pretend to Be an Omega. - Chapter 11

“Let’s go!”

The next day, Luo Xiaoxiao stood energetically at the villa entrance with her backpack, while Li Fanshuang behind her presented a stark contrast.

“I mean, at this hour, even chickens haven’t woken up yet, right?” Li Fanshuang checked her watch with tired eyes—4:00 AM, such an obscure time.

“Are we the earliest?” Luo Xiaoxiao asked the camera.

The cameraman shook his head honestly.

“Tsk—” Luo Xiaoxiao sucked in a sharp breath. So, Fang Jin hadn’t given up after all?

They should have been the earliest, but the thought of having to carry bicycles up a mountain today instantly extinguished her faint competitive spirit.

“Sweetheart, you can rest in the car later,” Luo Xiaoxiao said, holding Li Fanshuang’s hand.

Li Fanshuang pinched the bridge of her nose. Her biological clock was already perfectly healthy—asleep by 11 PM and awake by 8 AM.

In the entire entertainment industry, such a routine was practically a benchmark.

Yet she had somehow ended up with an extremely diligent wife who insisted on waking at 5 AM for exercise and eating every meal on schedule.

“Sweetheart, how are we supposed to have breakfast this early?” Li Fanshuang frowned at the pitch-black sky.

Luo Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. “Don’t underestimate the working class, babe. With the Flower Roll Competition being so popular, the breakfast stalls outside the park probably arrived by 3 AM.”

“Really?” Li Fanshuang was surprised. How did she know so much about this?

Luo Xiaoxiao patted her chest confidently. “Don’t worry.”

She mentally calculated their meager funds—only 200 yuan between them. That shameless Sun Lei would likely pile on more tasks after they completed this one.

“I brought water, sunscreen, and the sandwiches I made last night.”

When she mentioned the last item, Luo Xiaoxiao looked at Li Fanshuang with pride sparkling in her eyes.

Aren’t I amazing? Hehe, prepare for praise.

Li Fanshuang yawned and offered a half-hearted compliment, “You’re amazing, sweetheart.”

But she still had doubts. Given Luo Xiaoxiao’s appetite—needing five bowls of rice after just a little swimming—those few sandwiches would barely qualify as a snack.

Li Fanshuang’s brain was lagging from exhaustion. Why hadn’t the driver arrived yet?

Screech—

The sound of brakes echoed at the villa entrance.

Luo Xiaoxiao thought: Just from the sound of the car, you could tell the early-rising driver’s resentment was stronger than a ghost’s.

The two got in the car, with Li Fanshuang immediately falling asleep against the seat. Luo Xiaoxiao exchanged a few words with the driver. “Thanks for your hard work, sir.”

“Not hard work—you’re paying extra anyway,” the driver grumbled unhappily.

Just thinking about waking up this early to pick you up pisses me off!

Luo Xiaoxiao squinted at the driver, a bad feeling creeping in. “Who’s paying for this?”

At the question, the driver slammed on the brakes at a red light.

Li Fanshuang, jerked forward by the sudden stop, nearly met an untimely demise.

“You’re not trying to skip out on the bill, are you? And you call yourselves celebrities? Sun Lei told me you’d be paying.”

Luo Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly at the driver. “Sir, you must be joking. My wife’s an award-winning actress—how could we possibly shortchange you? We just weren’t sure how much to give you.”

Hearing Luo Xiaoxiao say this, the driver’s mood improved considerably. “It’s not that much extra. We work ten-hour shifts normally, with 50 yuan for each additional hour.”

“Oh, that’s perfectly reasonable,” Luo Xiaoxiao quickly responded.

Seeing how agreeable she was, the driver became more cheerful. “You look like an Alpha to me?”

Luo Xiaoxiao inwardly groaned—how was this guy so observant?!

“Brother, you must be joking! I’m an Omega?”

“Really?” The driver glanced at her skeptically and shook his head. “My apologies, I didn’t realize at first glance. I thought you were an Alpha.”

Then his gaze shifted to Li Fanshuang. “Your Alpha is quite beautiful—I actually thought she was an Omega.”

Luo Xiaoxiao covered her mouth with a laugh. “That’s just how my wife is—the nation’s Alpha, you know? She’s starred in many films and TV dramas.”

The driver perked up with interest. “Really? What has she been in?”

Luo Xiaoxiao—who’d never actually watched her wife’s works—paused. “Oh, lots of things! Haven’t you seen the prime-time slots?”

Oh god, would netizens catch this lie?

Early-bird livestream viewers nodded approvingly at Luo Xiaoxiao’s response.

As expected of Shuangshuang’s wife—she even knows all three of Shuangshuang’s current prime-time shows!
They’re married, of course she’d know!

When they arrived at the amusement park entrance, only a handful of people were there.

Li Fanshuang, still drowsy, yawned lazily. “There’s barely anyone here.”

No sooner had she spoken than several more people joined the queue nearby.

Instantly, Li Fanshuang was wide awake—the “Flower Roll Race” truly lived up to its reputation.

“Best Actress Li, will you two be running later?” a young girl greeted them cheerfully.

Before Li Fanshuang could answer, Luo Xiaoxiao clung to her arm. “What about you?”

“We… we won’t run,” the girl replied, her heart bubbling with pink fantasies—this must be Best Actress Li’s girlfriend! So adorable!

Luo Xiaoxiao nodded. “Then we won’t run either! Our word is our bond—Chinese don’t deceive Chinese, right?”

“Mhm!” The girl nodded vigorously, and soon others around them pledged they wouldn’t run either, vowing to walk calmly to see the pandas.

“By the way, what were you discussing with the driver earlier? I heard something about extra fees?” Li Fanshuang frowned, rolling her stiff neck.

After hesitating, Luo Xiaoxiao explained, “Well, since we’re doing the Flower Roll Race, we might need to pay overtime fees for the driver.”

“What?!” Li Fanshuang’s voice rose sharply. That bastard Sun Lei! Setting traps everywhere!

Luo Xiaoxiao pulled out her phone to calculate their funds. “Tickets are 55 yuan each, but we get one free for joining the early race. We have 145 yuan left. I brought snacks—if we time it right, we can finish by 4 PM and pay at most 100 yuan extra.”

Li Fanshuang pinched her brow. “I doubt Sun Lei will make it that easy for us.”

Just then, the gates swung open—the park was officially open.

“Let’s go, let’s go!” Luo Xiaoxiao exclaimed with excitement.

One by one, the queued visitors passed through the ticket gates after security checks…

Those tourists who had just sworn they wouldn’t run immediately broke into sprints.

Holy cow! Weren’t we supposed to uphold the principle of “Chinese don’t deceive Chinese”?

For the first time, Luo Xiaoxiao understood the true nature of the competition—the rat race had actually begun even before the park officially opened!

“I can’t run anymore…” Before Li Fanshuang could finish her sentence, Luo Xiaoxiao grabbed her hand firmly.

“How can an Alpha admit they can’t do something?!”
