With a final push of her finger, the ice cube slowly melted, leaving a puddle of water on the sofa.
Qin Qin stood up in front of Liang Manqing, pressing her legs together so she couldn’t move.
Liang Manqing shivered violently. She struggled to stand up, but her legs were too weak.
“Qin Qin, Qin Qin…” Liang Manqing urgently called her name: “Please stop, okay?” She really couldn’t take it anymore.
She was so cold she was about to lose consciousness.
Qin Qin pinched Liang Manqing’s chin, forcing her to look straight at her, and asked softly, clearly knowing the answer: “Liang Manqing, how do you feel right now?”
Liang Manqing’s chin was trembling from the cold, and her teeth chattered.
“It’s so cold, take it away, okay?” Liang Manqing spoke the sentence almost through gritted teeth.
“It’s not time yet.” Qin Qin’s voice was icy: “Why did you give me a new villa? Is it compensation?”
Liang Manqing didn’t know how to answer that question. Qin Qin pressed on: “Or compensation for the substitute role ending?”
“How did you know?” Liang Manqing’s head was numb from the cold, and she spoke without thinking. To Qin Qin, however, it sounded like an affirmation.
Qin Qin scoffed: “Sister, you’re so generous. Are you like this with every other Omega? Or do I not know you at all?”
“What are you talking about?” Liang Manqing didn’t understand what Qin Qin was referring to, only sensing that Qin Qin seemed to have changed.
Based on the plot progression in the book, she was worried Qin Qin had blackened. She felt she had unintentionally harmed Qin Qin.
The System popped up just in time: [Congratulations, Host, the heart-wrenching plot is complete.]
Oh no.
Liang Manqing really wanted to ask when she had completed all of that plot.
But she couldn’t think right now. All her strength was focused on stopping the ice cube from moving further.
Liang Manqing couldn’t hold on, panting irregularly: “Qin Qin…”
Qin Qin decided enough time had passed. She slowly used her finger to hook the ice cube out. Liang Manqing’s abdomen tensed and contracted. Finally, she sighed with relief.
Liang Manqing still felt cold all over. She tried to grab the thin blanket from the sofa to cover herself, but Qin Qin tossed it aside before she could reach it.
Using the moonlight filtering through the window to look at Liang Manqing, Qin Qin leaned close and smiled: “Sister, you need to remember this feeling.”
Liang Manqing reached out, trying to grab the clothes Qin Qin was sitting on: “Qin Qin, did I make you unhappy?”
Qin Qin didn’t give her the clothes, engaging in a power struggle instead.
Although the room was dark, Liang Manqing could feel Qin Qin’s intense gaze on her.
“What do you think?” Qin Qin didn’t answer her directly.
“I spent the last two days in the hospital. You might be angry because I missed your calls.” Liang Manqing guessed this was the only reason Qin Qin might be angry.
“Besides the hospital, did you go anywhere else?” Qin Qin leaned her nose close to Liang Manqing’s neck and sniffed: “Did you go anywhere private with another Omega?”
Liang Manqing frowned slightly: “Why would you think that?” Besides the hospital and her colleague, she hadn’t seen anyone else in the last two days. Where would another Omega come from?
Qin Qin was only asking deliberately because she had already confirmed she couldn’t smell the scent of any other Omega on Liang Manqing.
“I have something I need your opinion on.” Qin Qin’s tone was too formal, making Liang Manqing feel uneasy. And without clothes, she felt even more vulnerable.
Liang Manqing picked up the clothes scattered near the sofa and put them on, asking: “What is it?”
Qin Qin pinned Liang Manqing into the corner of the sofa, bit her ear, and asked softly: “I’m pregnant. Is it okay for the substitute to take the true partner’s place?”
Liang Manqing was momentarily stunned, followed by a persistent shock. She was thankful at that moment that the room lights were dim; otherwise, Qin Qin would have seen her wide eyes.
Qin Qin gave Liang Manqing enough time to react. She slowly turned on the light. The blinding light shone down. Liang Manqing instinctively squinted and raised her hand to shield her eyes.
Liang Manqing finally understood why the mark felt different that night: because it was a permanent mark.
As someone who was supposed to disappear from this world, Liang Manqing intended to gradually distance herself from Qin Qin’s life. But now, she had made Qin Qin pregnant!
Oh my god!
She didn’t know whether to be happy or not.
The plot had taken a dramatic turn, completely different from before.
Liang Manqing composed her thoughts and slowly lowered her hand, looking at Qin Qin’s flat lower abdomen.
“You can’t tell yet.” Qin Qin touched her abdomen: “I just found out, so it doesn’t count as tricking you into a secret pregnancy.”
“N-no, that’s not what I meant.” Liang Manqing quickly explained. She finally calmed down, remembering Qin Qin’s appearance at the hospital yesterday. But thinking about Qin Qin going to the hospital for the check-up alone, Liang Manqing felt heartbroken.
Liang Manqing put on her clothes and sat next to Qin Qin. She carefully reached out and touched Qin Qin’s belly. A strange, marvelous feeling arose: “I have a child.”
Liang Manqing subtly tried to feel the baby’s position. Qin Qin found it amusing: “You can’t feel her yet. She’s still very small.”
“I… I haven’t processed it yet.” Liang Manqing was excited, stuttering as she spoke.
“Then, Sister, you answer me first: who was that woman at the hospital?” Qin Qin chose to tell Liang Manqing about the baby first before asking about the ‘white moonlight.’
Qin Qin had a hidden motive. Perhaps she could win back Liang Manqing’s heart with the child.
Liang Manqing said casually: “She is an old friend of mine named He Yi. We haven’t been in touch for a long time.”
After speaking, Liang Manqing noticed Qin Qin’s expression and smiled: “The other Omega you mentioned wouldn’t happen to be her, would it?”
Qin Qin frowned.
Liang Manqing explained: “She’s an Alpha. Because of her gentle aura, many people mistake her for an Omega.”
So she’s an Alpha.
“So she’s not your white moonlight?” Qin Qin directly asked the question, though it seemed far-fetched that Liang Manqing would have an Alpha white moonlight.
Liang Manqing found it amusing: “What are you thinking about?”
Qin Qin also felt she had been too aggressive and reckless, unilaterally concluding Liang Manqing was with her ‘white moonlight’ without clarifying the situation.
Qin Qin decided not to live in constant anxiety: “Can you please tell me who your white moonlight actually is?”
It wasn’t that Liang Manqing didn’t want to explain, but the System made it impossible for her to talk about the ‘white moonlight.’
The System was on the verge of collapsing: [This is not the original plot… the male and female leads didn’t achieve HE, and the supporting female character didn’t blacken…]
The System’s voice was intermittent, almost gone. Liang Manqing’s face was beet red. She managed to force out one sentence: “There is no… white moon… light.”
“What?” Qin Qin thought she misheard. Liang Manqing took a breath. It took a great effort to say that sentence.
Qin Qin assumed the position of the true partner: “I don’t care. In any case, I’m taking the true partner’s place. Hurry up and plan the perfect wedding for me!”
She suffered too much in her last life. In this life, she intended to receive all the sweetness.
Since Liang Manqing said she didn’t have a white moonlight, Qin Qin was willing to believe her.
Liang Manqing’s feelings were complicated, but after a night of sorting through her emotions, joy was the dominant feeling.
Liang Manqing lay on her side on the bed, looking at Qin Qin nestled in her arms, thinking about what kind of wedding would be best.
A unique and unforgettable wedding.
And how much money she should set aside for raising the baby.
A warmth slowly rose in Liang Manqing’s heart. It seemed she should work hard and earn money. But before that, she needed to move all her things here.
Qin Qin didn’t seem to be thinking as deeply as Liang Manqing. She just held her hand, wanting to go through their routine daily activity.
Liang Manqing chuckled softly: “No activity for the first three months.”
They had been separated for a few days, and Qin Qin felt uneasy without smelling Liang Manqing’s scent.
Qin Qin was persistent: “Just touch me.”
