After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

When Gu Junwan took the elevator to the top floor corridor of the hotel, it was already three in the morning.

She looked somewhat preoccupied, with a trace of gloom between her brows.

During the nearly two-hour video call earlier.

She sensed that something was amiss with the New Li Country’s president!

With a light tap of the key card, the door emitted a mechanical sound, and Gu Junwan entered the room.

Then she heard a late-night TV program playing in the suite’s living room.

And it was a dialect channel of New Li Country’s ancient ethnic groups.

‘I didn’t expect New Li’s ancient language to still be passed down in this way.’

‘No! Wait! Why is there a TV program playing in my room?!’

Realizing this issue, Gu Junwan’s first instinct was to turn and leave.

But at that moment, Shen Han’s voice suddenly came from the living room: “Miss Gu, is that you back?”

For some reason, upon hearing the words ‘Miss Gu’, the empress’s tense heartstrings immediately relaxed.

Logically, she should have felt offended and angry.

Gu Junwan stood gracefully in the entryway, watching the tall alpha walk out of her room.

Wrapped in an alluring snow cedar scent, approaching her step by step.

During the time Gu Junwan was having her video conference earlier.

Shen Han had already taken a shower, changed clothes, ordered food for a big meal, and even taken a nap.

Now, as she appeared before Gu Junwan full of energy.

It made the other’s fatigued state even more apparent.

The young alpha wore military camouflage pants and a white cotton t-shirt on top, looking like a college student who had just attended military training, gentle and pure.

Gu Junwan, enveloped by the steaming snow cedar scent, felt her cheeks heating up.

At this point, Shen Han seemed to realize something and hurriedly explained: “That major or whatever wanted me to stay on the second floor earlier, but I thought he had ill intentions, so I came up to your room.”

“But don’t worry, I’ll just guard the living room at night, so you can sleep more soundly.”

Gu Junwan took out her newly acquired tablet and wrote: “There’s an issue with the team that received us tonight, we might already be under surveillance.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the alpha run back to the living room, returning with a handful of button-sized listening devices and cameras, saying proudly: “I’ve taken care of them all, feel free to speak openly!”

…

Gu Junwan took a shower and came to the living room wearing the same style of home cotton clothes as Shen Han.

While drying her wet hair, she shared her speculations with the other.

“The New Li Country’s president seems to be constrained, all the topics discussed today were empty promises.”

“But at the same time, he apologized to me using Morse code by tapping his fingers, and provided me with a special ops team to command, one of whom is now hidden in this hotel.”

The empress had always been concise.

Especially when issuing orders, her words were even more succinct.

It was rare for her to explain her analysis in detail to someone like this.

Of course, many rare things had happened to her in these two days.

For instance, she never thought before that she would allow an alpha to stay in her room, let alone have this kind of interaction.

Shen Han sat on the sofa, studying the heating device in her hand while asking: “So he wants to ‘have his cake and eat it too’? Getting all the benefits for himself.”

The girl’s voice was soft, even carrying a hint of mockery.

But to Gu Junwan’s ears, it was like a thunderclap.

Both for Shen Han’s attitude when discussing such matters, and for her insight in processing information.

This omega empress couldn’t help but wonder: who exactly was this person?

“Ding!”

The heating device finally started working. Shen Han clapped her hands and looked up, only to find Gu Junwan staring at her.

The ends of her hair were still damp, and her porcelain-white skin seemed to be shrouded in a misty haze.

The subtle fragrance of cold plum slowly circulated in the room, bringing a touch of heat to the air.

Feeling a slight pulsing sensation at the back of her neck, Shen Han quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at the other anymore.

“I was just talking nonsense, please continue, don’t mind me.”

Gu Junwan put down the towel she had been using to dry her hair and spoke without a hint of jest: “No, the current situation is exactly as you said. In other words, our predicament hasn’t actually improved.”

“If we can’t leave here and end up controlled by New Li Country’s war faction, our fate won’t be much better than falling into the hands of the rebels.”

Hearing this, Shen Han couldn’t joke anymore.

She moved to sit next to the empress with the heating device, turning to ask: “So what should we do now?”

Gu Junwan discreetly glanced at the box in the other’s hand.

She couldn’t quite understand why this alpha was so ‘fond’ of such a small gadget.

She collected herself, then picked up the tablet nearby.

After an iris scan, her slender fingers moved swiftly across it.

Soon, an information page appeared on the tablet screen, with the word ‘TOP SECRET’ in vermilion on the side.

The page contained information about a special agent named Ma Haoyu.

Codename Wolf, ID number JLY3310, C-rank alpha, 19 years old.

“We need to find this person in the hotel, but I can’t appear in person”

Before Gu Junwan could finish speaking, Shen Han had already leaned her head between the tablet and the empress’s body.

“He looks a bit weak, like a middle school student who’s just starting to develop. Is that New Li Country fox playing tricks on us?”

The crisp snow cedar fragrance invaded, disrupting the omega empress’s breathing.

She stiffened her back slightly, resisting the urge to push the other’s head away, and steadied her voice: “Aren’t you the same?”

“Huh?”

Shen Han maintained her leaning position, turning her face to look at the woman beside her.

The scents of snow cedar and cold plum intertwined in the air.

Colliding to create a hint of ambiguous heat.

Gu Junwan paused, using her fingertips to gently push the head in front of her aside.

Then she said: “You look like a student too.”

The alpha’s oppressive aura retreated somewhat, allowing her to quickly return to the main topic: “So, the task of making contact with Ma Haoyu can only be entrusted to you.”

“No problem.” Shen Han sat up straight, winking at the other, “You’re hungry, right? Let’s eat something first.”

With that, she opened the heating device in her hand and took out the meal box inside.

When the lid was lifted, it revealed fluffy rice grains and exquisite seafood dishes.

Gu Junwan’s golden irises reflected the appetizing meal.

She never imagined that the thing the other had been studying for so long was to heat up food for her.

“Don’t just stare, reheat the seafood once more and the texture will toughen!”

Shen Han took the tablet from her hand and placed it on the table, handing over the meal box.

Even the special cuisine from a high-end hotel was just average for Gu Junwan.

But for some reason, the food before her now seemed particularly delicious.

Shen Han discovered she had developed a peculiar new hobby: sneaking glances at Gu Junwan eating!

The other exuded elegance in everything she did, especially when eating.

Although they were both using chopsticks to feed themselves, when Gu Junwan did it, it looked particularly different.

As Shen Han watched, she felt herself growing hungry too.

An omega’s appetite was indeed smaller.

When Gu Junwan put down the meal box and chopsticks, half of the seafood rice remained.

“Aren’t you going to eat anymore?” Shen Han picked up the meal box just placed on the table, asking casually.

Gu Junwan thought she was going to clean up for her, nodded, and then said a word of thanks.

“I’m actually hungry again, if you don’t mind, let me have it. I’ll practice the clean plate campaign starting with myself.”

Shen Han began her second meal with the bowl and chopsticks, her satisfaction evident.

Gu Junwan was completely stunned.

How could she not mind? That was the food she had just left!

But seeing the alpha’s cheeks already puffed out like a squirrel’s, she didn’t voice her objection.

The key was, objecting wouldn’t help, the other had already eaten half.

After the meal, they discussed a bit more, and then Gu Junwan returned to the bedroom.

Shen Han, as she had said earlier, rested in the living room.

There was also a guest room in the suite.

But sleeping in the living room made it easier to stay alert and could also put the occupant of the master bedroom more at ease.

After resting for over three hours, the clock hands reached eight in the morning.

The doorbell rang.

Shen Han, already fully dressed, went to open the door.

A female beta stood at the door, responsible for bringing clothes and meals to the empress.

The moment she saw Shen Han, this beta service staff was immediately stunned.

Although she hadn’t seen Shen Han, she had heard a lot about her last night and this morning.

She knew the other was an S-rank alpha and also the empress’s guard.

But this alpha appeared in the empress’s room!

This sparked a whole drama of associations in the service staff’s mind.

Shen Han ignored the other’s shock.

She reached out to take the items from the other’s small cart, rummaged through them, and then spoke directly: “Why is there only one set of clothes? Where are mine?”

The beta service staff immediately bowed: “I’m sorry, I’ll go prepare them right away.”

The service staff was quick, and within ten minutes, she appeared with a brand new set of black military uniforms, handing them to Shen Han.

What she didn’t know was that while she and Gu Junwan were changing clothes.

A rumor about the ’empress’s consort’ had already spread among the hotel staff.

In this special period, Gu Junwan had the New Li ‘allies’ prepare a white commander’s uniform for her.

The sturdy fabric wrapped around the empress’s beautiful and alluring curves, exuding a unique authority.

It made people both fear and unable to resist stealing more glances.

Shen Han’s black military uniform, on the other hand, accentuated the girl’s tall figure, making her appear somewhat slender.

Enhanced by the top-tier alpha’s aura, it brought out a certain inexplicable killing intent.

Gu Junwan was to go to the conference hall to negotiate with New Li Country’s war faction, while Shen Han was to go to the security department to find the special agent named Ma Haoyu.

Their main stages were not the same.

“I’m off then, take care of yourself too.”

Shen Han knew she wasn’t in a position to give much advice to the other, so she left with these words and prepared to take the elevator down.

“Wait.” The subtle fragrance of cold plum wafted over.

Shen Han had just pressed the elevator button when Gu Junwan stood in front of her, raising her hand to pin a small golden badge to her uniform collar.

“Wear this, it will give more weight to your commands.”

Looking down at the small gold on her collar, Shen Han knew it was the symbol of Gu Junwan’s temporary commander position.

She suppressed the joy in her heart and asked: “You’ve given this to me, so what about you?”

Gu Junwan’s eyes curved slightly: “I’ll use my face.”
