After Becoming a Scumbag Alpha, the Green Tea Omega is Reborn - Chapter 15
When Lin Lin dropped the two of them off at home, Tao Ran was already sound asleep from exhaustion. Yu Li gently rested the girl’s head against her shoulder, picked her up with the utmost care, and whispered for Lin Lin to open the door for them.
Watching Yu Li’s gaze—overflowing with tenderness—and Tao Ran’s tranquil sleeping face, Lin Lin fell into deep thought.
Liu Xia always said Yu Li was a scumbag, but after spending the day together, she didn’t look like a scumbag at all.
Had Yu Li, as a top-tier star, used her god-like acting skills to hoodwink her?
Lin Lin left, her mind full of doubts. When Yu Li laid Tao Ran on the bed, Tao Ran let out a soft moan, wrapped her arms around Yu Li’s neck, and her fingers began to wander again, searching for Yu Li’s gland.
Yu Li gently pressed her hand down and whispered into her ear, “Stop pretending to be asleep. I know you’re awake.”
Tao Ran pursed her lips and smiled, opening one mischievous eye to look at her.
“How did you know I was faking it?”
“Nobody ‘accidentally’ bumps into someone’s gland three or four times.”
“Can’t I even touch it once?” Tao Ran’s eyes were moist, like a kitten that had been wrongly accused by its owner.
“You can’t just touch it whenever you want. I’ll…” Yu Li turned her face away awkwardly. “I’ll have… a reaction.”
Tao Ran burst out laughing. Observing Yu Li’s flustered state more closely, she teased her on purpose. “What kind of reaction? Tell me about it.”
“You…” Yu Li shot her a huffy glare, though it lacked any real sting. “In short, especially in front of outsiders, you can’t do such things.”
“I never knew the person in my house could be so pure-hearted,” Tao Ran murmured. She hooked a leg up and propped her chin on her hand, watching the faint red creep onto the tips of Yu Li’s ears. A sudden rush of pleasure welled up in her heart.
Tao Ran had suspected that Yu Li might have experienced something as melodramatic as a transmigration, just like her. Since she herself had traveled from the day she became Movie Queen back to the day she married Yu Li, it was very possible that Yu Li had traveled back at the moment of her death.
If that were true, it would explain why Yu Li was being so good to her.
However, while a person’s personality can change, habits usually don’t. Aside from still liking chocolate biscuits, Yu Li hadn’t kept any of her old habits. Her driving was excellent, she could cook, and most bizarrely, she liked making the bed. Moreover, she didn’t remember many things that had happened in the past.
If this person isn’t Yu Li, who is she?
“Ranran, why are you staring at me like that? Go to sleep. Staying up late is bad for your skin.” Yu Li tucked her in, but Tao Ran suddenly grabbed her hand.
Tao Ran blinked, her pinky finger hooking around Yu Li’s. “We’ve been married for over a week and we haven’t slept together yet.”
Yu Li pulled her finger away and shook her head. “Ranran, it’s very late. Get some rest.”
Tao Ran pouted. “You’ve already marked me, why act like such a gentleman now?”
“Huh? I didn’t—”
Before she could finish, Yu Li’s phone rang. Seeing an unknown number, she declined it immediately, but the person persistently called back several times. Unable to take it anymore, Yu Li frowned and answered.
“Who is this?”
“Yu Li…”
“I told you, if you dare pester me again, I’ll have security handle it.”
Yu Li hung up crossly and blocked the number. Tao Ran’s dark eyes watched her for a moment. Hugging her knees, she asked, “That was Shi Yi, right?”
“There won’t be a second time,” Yu Li promised. “If she ever tries to get close to us using these tactics again, I’ll leave her on the side of the road.”
Tao Ran leaned on her side, glancing at her. “Between you and her, is there…?”
“There is nothing between us. In fact, I have nothing to do with any Omega other than you.” Yu Li sat down beside Tao Ran and took out her phone. “I only have this one WeChat account. From now on, if you want, you can log in anytime to check up on me. If you see someone you don’t like, just delete them.”
Tao Ran raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Really?”
She scanned Yu Li’s contact list. Sure enough, all the “influencers” and 18th-tier starlets the original owner used to flirt with were gone. The nickname had even been changed to “Married, Do Not Disturb,” and the profile picture was a lotus flower meme that said “I’ve attained enlightenment.”
…This WeChat account suddenly radiates a heavy ‘Old Cadre’ vibe.
Yu Li observed Tao Ran’s expression carefully. “Do you like it?”
Suppressing a smile, Tao Ran handed the phone back. “It’s… alright, I guess.”
“Ranran, if I ever do anything wrong or make you angry, you must tell me.”
Yu Li was a 24k gold “straight girl.” In her past life, she had been a “womb-to-tomb” single; in this life, she suddenly had a wife. She was still a bit confused about how to interact with Tao Ran. But in the end, she knew that treating her well was the right path.
After they said goodnight, Yu Li closed the door and returned to her own bedroom.
Tao Ran couldn’t help but look at Yu Li’s nickname and profile picture again and burst out laughing.
What the… how can someone be so ‘straight’? This person is as straight as a pole. There’s no way she’s Yu Li. The real Yu Li wouldn’t care if I was angry, let alone go out of her way to please me.
The old Yu Li was hot-tempered and a philanderer, yet a crowd of Omegas still threw themselves at her. Now that she had turned “good,” wouldn’t she be even more desirable?
Thinking of Shi Yi’s tear-stained face, Tao Ran let out a huff.
It’s time to stir things up a bit and show my face.
As per her bedtime routine, Yu Li opened Weibo and glanced at the Hot Searches. She browsed her own “Super Topic” (fan forum) and noticed several major fans posting similar content.
【The video in the Li-Ran Super Topic! Go watch it now!】
【I saw it! The editing is amazing!】
【I’ll be heartbroken for any Li-Ran fan who hasn’t seen today’s video, okay?】
With intense curiosity, Yu Li clicked on a pinned video post.
Title: The Cold Lawyer and Her Cat-Like Girlfriend
Editor: Giving Peaches to Bao-Li
Footage Source: “Little Sweetie,” “The Thing About Loving You,” “Elite Monsters”
The description read:
The super, super sweet Li-Ran CP! Start shipping now! This is a new fan-fiction plot. Even though they haven’t starred in a drama together, we can imagine it ourselves!
The video had a fresh, natural filter, giving it a high-quality feel. At the start, Yu Li, in a business suit, paced slowly through a residential area. Carrying a briefcase, her steps showed the fatigue of someone who had just finished work.
The background music was Renai Circulation.
At a staircase corner, Tao Ran sat beside a cardboard box, looking at her timidly.
“Can you take me home?”
“Do you promise to be good?”
Due to lack of footage, using voice actors would have felt jarring. The editor cleverly used black screens with white subtitles for their dialogue, making the plot flow logically.
Lawyer A brought the “stray cat” Omega home to live a happy, quiet life. One day, Lawyer Yu Li came home to find the house in a mess. The “kitten” Tao Ran was hiding under the table, curled up and sucking her lip, her eyes red.
“Why did you make a mess again?” Yu Li threw down her briefcase crossly. “Come out for your punishment!”
Tao Ran poked her head out and asked cautiously: “Can you spank me?”
Instead, Yu Li let out a soft laugh, pulled her out, and took her into her arms.
“Silly girl, how could I bear to hit my own little kitten?”
Tao Ran smiled radiantly, hugging Yu Li’s neck and rubbing against her chest.
“The little kitten has found the best owner in the world!”
The screen was flooded with pink heart emojis.
【I testify, this is the daily life of Tao Ran and Yu Li!】
【The cutest kitten and Lawyer Big Sister!】
【Too sweet, I’m drowning in sugar!】
Yu Li’s mood lightened as she watched. However, the scene shifted, and the background music changed to Lollipop Luxury.
Heavens, they even dared to use this song?!
The vibe of the comments instantly turned from “pink” to “yellow” (NSFW).
【I’m blushing.】
【Is it the kind of development I’m thinking of?】
【Stepping on the gas! We’re on the highway now!】
【Hurry up, hurry up!】
The next scene showed Yu Li opening the door, searching the house for her kitten. When she entered the bedroom, Tao Ran pounced from behind the door, pinning Yu Li onto the bed.
Tao Ran was wearing a black-and-white maid outfit with black cat ears. She licked her lower lip and let out a “Meow~”.
The silent black-and-white subtitles carried an unspeakable, ambiguous aura.
“Master, today… will you favor me?”
The normally cold and proud lawyer maintained her calm expression, but her ears were visibly turning red.
“Little kitten, you asked for this.”
A seductive meow followed. Yu Li suppressed the desire in her eyes, loosened her tie, and closed the door.
The next shot showed clothes scattered on the floor. On the bed, a pair of fair wrists were tied to the headboard with a black tie, trembling slightly with the music. The video ended with the Felina ad—the footage of Tao Ran and Yu Li kissing in the lounge.
Because the music was so suggestive, Yu Li almost wanted to manually censor her and Tao Ran’s faces.
Anyone who watched this would have to say: “The editor is a genius!”
After exiting, Yu Li immediately gave the video a “Like.” No wonder it went viral; making a couple feel this real without them even having a script together was legendary!
Yu Li went straight to the comments.
【Legendary! Master, I bow to you!】
【Lying on my bed screaming like a chicken.】
【Is this something I can watch for free?】
【Give us the spicy stuff! Give us the spicy stuff!】
In the three minutes Yu Li spent watching, the likes jumped from a few thousand to tens of thousands. The “shipper” fans even pushed the topic onto the Hot Search.
The follower count for the Li-Ran CP rose again. Yu Li was smiling at the screen when Sister Zhang called.
“What are you doing?!” Sister Zhang asked, her voice sounding like she was grit-teethed.
Yu Li was startled. No way, does she even care if I stay up to watch a video? How does she even know? …Wait!
Yu Li’s hand trembled as she opened the Hot Search. Her heart nearly stopped.
