Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha’s Gorgeous Wife Who Keeps Trying to Seduce Me (GL) - Chapter 16

Morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, casting a soft glow on Shen Zhixi’s face. Her pale, radiant skin seemed to glow gently, like warm jade.

She looked like a beautiful painting—almost unreal.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes in the morning light.

The curtains were familiar, the hanging decorations familiar too. On the nightstand sat a cute ornament—two pretty girls leaning their heads together, smiling joyfully.

For a moment, Shen Zhixi was dazed before realizing she was in their newlywed home—in Chi Lengzhao’s villa.

Suddenly, something came to mind, and she sat up straight. She looked around. The sofa was empty. The person who had been there was gone, and the blanket was neatly folded. It was as if no one had slept there at all the night before.

Had Chi Lengzhao already gotten up?

Her eyes shifted and landed on an extra pillow next to hers. It had light creases, like someone had used it. Chi Lengzhao must have placed it there.

Looking at the two pillows side by side and the faint marks on them, Shen Zhixi immediately understood what Chi Lengzhao was trying to do.

This way, when Hua Zi came in to clean, she wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

Still, Shen Zhixi was surprised. When had Chi Lengzhao come over? She hadn’t felt anything at all.

She raised her slender, jade-like fingers to shield her eyes from the sunlight—and also hid the look in her eyes.

She had meant to stay awake all night. Yet somehow, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

After washing up and changing clothes, Shen Zhixi opened the door and stepped out. Hua Zi happened to be coming out of the guest room. When she saw Shen Zhixi in the hallway, she quickly walked over.

“Miss, you’re up.”

Shen Zhixi nodded. “Where is she?”

Hua Zi paused, a bit confused. She? Who? Oh—Miss Chi. Then she smiled. “Miss Chi woke up early. She had Housekeeper Zhou remove her bandages. Haha, there’s a bald spot at the back of her head. Miss Chi even asked us to help style her hair nicely. I trimmed it a bit—it’s not so noticeable now.”

At that moment, Chi Lengzhao heard the voices and stepped out of the guest room.

The bandages were gone, revealing her smooth, bright forehead. She looked lively and stunning.

She had a towel wrapped around her shoulders, and underneath, she was still wearing the red camisole nightdress from the night before.

When she saw Shen Zhixi, her face lit up with a big smile. “Zhixi, you’re awake! I need to talk to you. Let’s go inside.”

Shen Zhixi glanced at her. There was a hint of nervousness and eagerness in Chi Lengzhao’s eyes, as if afraid of being turned away. Shen Zhixi said nothing, just turned and walked back into the bedroom.

Chi Lengzhao quickly followed and closed the door behind them.

Hua Zi stood there silently: “…”

They spent the whole night together—how are they already whispering again first thing in the morning?

“What is it?” Shen Zhixi crossed her arms, her voice cool and distant.

“It’s nothing urgent,” Chi Lengzhao said with an awkward smile as she walked toward the walk-in closet. “It’s just… I haven’t bought any clothes yet. Can I borrow something? I really can’t go out like this.”

Borrow clothes?

Shen Zhixi was a bit surprised. She followed her into the closet, her expression unreadable. “Miss Chi doesn’t have clothes to wear?”

“Well, I threw them all out,” Chi Lengzhao replied casually. “They were all ugly and childish. How could I wear those in public?”

There was no way she was going to wear anything that the flirty, careless Alpha version of her had worn before.

Ugly? Childish? Did she forget those were all expensive custom-made pieces?

Shen Zhixi’s lips curved faintly. She opened her section of the wardrobe. “These are all new and haven’t been worn. Take your pick.”

Chi Lengzhao immediately grinned and flattered her without hesitation. “Thank you, Zhixi! You’re so generous!” Then she happily dove into the closet, excited to choose something to wear.

Shen Zhixi: “…”

It’s just a piece of clothing—does she really have to be this happy?

Watching Chi Lengzhao beam like an excited child, Shen Zhixi couldn’t help but feel that since her own rebirth, Chi Lengzhao seemed to have changed too.

Gone mad, in a good way.

Before long, Chi Lengzhao stepped out of the walk-in closet and asked tentatively, “How do I look?”

Shen Zhixi turned her head—and her eyes immediately landed on Chi Lengzhao standing in front of the full-length mirror.

She had changed into a casual outfit: a loose-fitting sweatshirt on top, full of youthful energy just like any other lively young woman, paired with slim, straight-leg pants that made her legs look long and lean. On her feet was a pair of clean white sneakers.

Her shoulder-length hair, freshly trimmed, now barely grazed her pale neck, enhancing her fresh and confident appearance.

Sunlight poured over her tall, slender figure, casting a natural soft glow around her. Her face carried a gentle clarity that Shen Zhixi had never seen before.

For a brief moment, Shen Zhixi felt like she had returned to her school days—to the innocence of youth.

Back then, she used to imagine her dream Alpha just like this: tall, lean but strong, warm, sunny, full of life.

Someone she could lean on. Someone she could embrace without fear.

“So? Do I look okay in this?”

Chi Lengzhao hadn’t dressed like this in years. Since graduation, her work and constant social engagements had kept her in formal business wear. But Shen Zhixi’s wardrobe was mostly fashion pieces and casual wear—no suits in sight.

“Ahem… not bad,” Shen Zhixi finally responded, snapping out of it. Her heart was oddly fluttering, and she quickly looked away.

For a moment just now, she had felt something strange as if this Chi Lengzhao was someone entirely different from the one, she had known in her past life.

Chi Lengzhao turned this way and that in front of the mirror, checking herself from every angle. While her current body’s figure wasn’t bad, she frowned slightly. Was her butt a little too flat? It would be perfect if it were just a bit rounder.

Shen Zhixi saw her pinch her own butt in the mirror and couldn’t help but inwardly roll her eyes in disdain. Still such a pervert!
