The Pampered Young Lady Keeps Flirting With Me After I Turned Alpha - Chapter 32.1

Chapter 32.1: Acknowledge Your Age

◎No Forced Love◎

Ah Han’s worry was evident in her eyes as she looked at Zhou Shuyu.

She had known for a while that Zhou Shuyu had been discharged from the military.

She heard that she had suffered a serious injury.

Ah Han knew what kind of person her ex-husband was. She was worried that Zhou Shuyu wouldn’t have anyone to take care of her after she was injured. Even though she was terrified of what had happened in the past, she still brought her child back to Lorocia.

She had briefly formed a family with a beta in Canada.

When she said she was going back to see her daughter, the beta angrily told her not to come back if she left.

After the beta learned everything about her past in Lorocia, he didn’t hesitate to end their relationship.

Ah Han didn’t blame that person. People are naturally drawn to what is beneficial and avoid what is harmful. Anyone would be afraid when they hear about the underworld.

Especially since she was going back to that place.

But she didn’t expect to be found by those people so soon after settling down.

All of Zhou Shuyu’s military stipends from those years were given to her. Ah Han thought that the child should have no money on her, so she brought all the money Zhou Shuyu had given her over the years.

Not a single cent was touched, and she didn’t let the beta know.

They were a couple who had married halfway through their lives, and money can corrupt people’s hearts. The money Zhou Shuyu sent every month could at least support their family’s monthly expenses, and they could even spend more.

But she kept it a secret. She didn’t want to spend the money now. She wanted to wait until her daughter was discharged, and then she could bring her daughter over. They would reunite as a family and stay away from the shadows of the past.

No one was obligated to pay off the money Zhou An owed. That money was never spent on them, so why should they have to pay for it?

However, the reality was that even after five years, she was still being harassed by the debts her ex-husband had left behind.

Ah Han was not a foolish omega. She didn’t just come back openly. She didn’t even know how those people found her.

Five years was enough time for people to forget what they looked like.

In fact, five years was enough time for people to forget what the mother and daughter looked like.

But there was someone who couldn’t forget.

One-Eye remembered the faces of their family of three very clearly, as if he had carved them into his mind.

The person who lent Zhou An money was the biggest underworld gang in Lorocia. Human lives were the cheapest things in the eyes of those people.

Ah Han didn’t expect that after so many years, those shadows would still loom over her like dark clouds.

Zhou An had harmed her and also harmed his own child.

When those people came looking for her, they rudely smashed things in the house.

A one-eyed alpha looked at the mother and daughter sinisterly and took a threatening video with his phone.

It was probably for her eldest daughter.

That child should be twenty-four years old now.

For a normal person, at this age, they should have a lover or a family.

Ah Han held her young daughter and listened to the sounds of things being destroyed. She could only cry helplessly.

Even though tears were the most useless thing in the world.

In front of evil people, their goal was to make you scared, terrified, and cry. If they didn’t achieve these goals, they would escalate their bullying. The malicious people’s goals were not just these.

As an omega with a child, she was naturally vulnerable when facing danger.

Little Ding was still a young child. While her peers were in elementary school or kindergarten, she could only follow her mother to work and read children’s picture books in her mother’s workspace.

Ah Han didn’t want these things to become a lifelong shadow for such a sensible child.

That day, Little Ding was nestled in her arms, crying softly, scared by the sound of things being smashed.

She was like a wounded kitten, crying softly and weakly, not daring to make a loud sound.

The money Zhou Shuyu had sent was naturally taken away.

During that time, Ah Han could feel that someone was always watching them.

Perhaps because they were an unarmed mother and daughter, those people didn’t take them seriously.

The people watching them saw that they only went to a few places and that the child didn’t even go to school, so their surveillance became lax.

Ah Han took Little Ding and hid in the slums at that time.

Because she had done manual labor, Ah Han had solid muscles on her body. The people there all thought she was a beta with a child.

At first, some people wanted to bully them, but they were all scared away by Ah Han.

When the military truck appeared in front of the mother and daughter, Ah Han was a bit dazed.

The other party said that her daughter had sent someone to pick her up. Even so, she didn’t let her guard down until the other party showed her their military ID and a photo with her daughter. Only then did she take her child and get in the car.

They spent a few days relaxing in the military district’s courtyard, not having to worry about anyone suddenly showing up.

She didn’t expect the reunion with her daughter to be such a sight.

Her child’s hands and feet were injured. The soaked cloth was clinging to the woman’s body, her hair was wet and looked like a bunch of seaweed, and her face was covered in black ash.

Heartache spread in her chest. She felt so cowardly for not being able to protect her child from the wind and rain.

What she didn’t expect even more was to witness the argument between Zhou Shuyu and General Dale.

On her first day in the military district, General Dale treated them very seriously.

General Dale talked to her about everything about her daughter that she was curious about.

She could see General Dale’s admiration for her daughter. She also seemed to feel regret and pity. If Zhou Shuyu hadn’t been injured, she would have had a bright future.

So when she saw the truth of the matter, she couldn’t even believe it.

General Dale was actually the culprit who caused her daughter to be injured.

Various accidents could happen on the battlefield. She didn’t blame General Dale for her daughter’s injury.

It was glorious for Zhou Shuyu to sacrifice her life to protect Dale.

But… she couldn’t imagine that a dignified general of the empire would give Zhou Shuyu an omega gland.

This was premeditated murder.

But Ah Han couldn’t say anything about it. In front of Dale’s power, they were just tiny ants.

The other party was doing things that harmed her daughter so casually…

Ah Han finally understood when she was filling the bathtub with water.

They weren’t picked up by someone Zhou Shuyu sent. They had become hostages to hold Zhou Shuyu back.

When she saw the big and small scars on her daughter’s body, she finally couldn’t hold back her tears.

If she had been able to take Zhou Shuyu away back then, she wouldn’t be like this.

And her child seemed to be very unfamiliar with her tears.

Ah Han’s heart was aching. She wanted to make up for it and be better and better to Zhou Shuyu.

After leaving the bathroom, Zhou Shuyu had a fever and was in a coma for two days.

The temperature was very difficult to bring down.

It wasn’t until Dale brought back someone else’s clothes that Zhou Shuyu’s high fever subsided a little. Dale looked at Zhou Shuyu’s change, and her expression was gloomy for a moment.

Dale didn’t return to the military district after that.

When Zhou Shuyu woke up, that was exactly what she saw.

Ah Han was holding a basin of clean water to change the wet towel on her head, and there was a little kid calling her “sister.”

“What’s your name?”

Zhou Shuyu asked the little kid. She really looked exactly like Ah Han.

“Sister, my name is Little Ding.” The girl seemed very happy that Zhou Shuyu was talking to her, and her voice was very cheerful.

“Is she my sister?” This was a question for Ah Han.

Ah Han knew what Zhou Shuyu meant and nodded.

“She didn’t have any playmates in Canada. She was very happy when she found out about you.”

Ah Han’s eyes were gentle, like a spring, and her gentle demeanor towards the two of them was unbelievable.

This made Zhou Shuyu shiver. This kind of affection was both desirable and frightening. She still couldn’t interact with Ah Han like a mother and daughter.

At this moment, she wanted to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich so she could pretend that nothing had happened.

She didn’t have to face Ah Han outside.

“Why did you come back to Lorocia?”

Zhou Shuyu asked, her words sounding a bit cold.

“You should have stayed in Canada.”

“Is it because you didn’t have enough money?” Zhou Shuyu couldn’t think of any other reason. “Or were you brought back by those people?”

“No, their hands shouldn’t reach that far.”

Ah Han’s gaze was hurt for a moment.

“Do you still blame me for not taking you with me back then?” Ah Han asked.

This was the second time Ah Han had asked this, but Zhou Shuyu avoided the question. She couldn’t answer.

Zhou Shuyu had no right to speak as the original owner about anything that happened in the past.

However, this avoidance was seen as blame and resentment in Ah Han’s eyes.

She felt a bit bitter in her heart, but as a mother, she had left her behind, so she had no excuse to defend herself.

“From now on, the three of us will live together and never be separated again,” she said.

She also didn’t tell Zhou Shuyu that she came back because she heard she was injured and discharged and was afraid she wouldn’t have anyone to take care of her.

“What about your home in Canada?” Zhou Shuyu asked.

Ah Han’s face went pale for a moment, and she couldn’t open her mouth.

“Mama said I have a sister and that we should come back to take care of her and bring her home. Uncle Evan didn’t agree, so he and Mama broke up.”

Little Ding saw that her mother wasn’t speaking and spoke for her.

She felt that her sister wasn’t very close to her mother, and her mother seemed very sad. She had read in storybooks that her sister must have misunderstood her mother.

She wanted to say that her mother didn’t abandon her sister and that she and her mother came back together to take care of her.

Zhou Shuyu was surprised for a moment when she heard Little Ding’s words. Wasn’t she afraid to come back with a child? Zhou Shuyu’s feelings were hard to describe right now.

“I’m sorry, I think my brain is a bit fried from the fever.”

From beginning to end, Zhou Shuyu never called her “mom,” and her words were cold and distant. Ah Han just felt that Zhou Shuyu still blamed her.

But it was okay.

They still had time in the future, and she could give them a lot of love.

Ah Han gently changed the towel on Zhou Shuyu’s head and went downstairs to heat a bowl of porridge, leaving Little Ding in the room.

The moment Ah Han left the room, Zhou Shuyu finally relaxed.

Ah Han’s gentleness made her feel very uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling all over her body. Her heart felt a tingling sensation that was hard to describe.

Zhou Shuyu moved her hand and realized that she was still holding a piece of clothing in her arms.

She was very familiar with the size of this clothing… It was Song Qi’s clothes!

She brought the clothes to her nose.

And sniffed.

The scent of white peach was almost gone.

The scent was so faint it was like a hallucination.

“Sister, are you feeling better?” Little Ding asked, leaning by the bed a bit cautiously.

Zhou Shuyu was obviously more comfortable with children.
