After Becoming a Scumbag Alpha, the Green Tea Omega is Reborn - Chapter 26

The filming schedule for the Felina advertisement had been finalized. When Tao Ran and Yu Li arrived at the shoot, Director Liu, who was an acquaintance of Sister Zhang, was extremely polite to the two trending actresses. He began filming almost immediately without making any difficult demands.

Perhaps because Director Liu didn’t want to exhaust them, the filming process was very simple. Each of them spent half an hour posing in various Felina outfits and shoes in front of a solid-colored backdrop, and that was it.

When the final proofs came out, Director Liu felt the results were quite good, but Tao Ran and Yu Li did not look particularly satisfied.

“Do you feel like something needs to be Photoshopped or changed?” Director Liu asked.

“Not exactly. It’s just that this style of advertising is too common,” Yu Li said. Lately, all endorsement ads used this promotional method—post two pictures or have the celebrity recite a few lines. The effect was mediocre; it couldn’t even match the benefits of a livestream sales event.

Director Liu stared in surprise. “With the two of you as big names, you still call it ‘common’?”

Hiring two stars for an endorsement, especially a married couple, was a level of financial power few other brands could support. Just having the two of them stand on stage was enough to bring in massive sales; the advertisers were already content.

Yu Li stared at the photos of them wearing fake smiles on the computer and murmured, “It would be better if the advertisement we filmed left a deeper impression on people.”

Tao Ran lowered her head in thought for a moment. “Director Liu, I have a suggestion.”

The news that the couple, Yu Li and Tao Ran, were co-endorsing Felina spread like wildfire. On the first day the news broke, fans pushed the topic onto the Hot Search, and the already lively Li-Ran fan forum erupted once again.

【Tao Ran endorsing Felina—this resource is unmatched.】

【Pro-tip: Tao Ran’s endorsement was arranged by Yu Li.】

【Yu Li totally dotes on Tao Ran; I’m tired of saying it.】

【I want to marry Yu Li and also marry Tao Ran.】

【Will there be a promotional video? Forget it, even a picture is fine.】

【I want to see them holding hands, preferably face-to-face or head-to-head.】

【Looking forward to the promo film, looking forward to the beautiful couple!】

【Give me close-ups! They are peerlessly beautiful!】

With fervent anticipation, the fans finally reached the day Felina officially announced its spokespeople. However, the promotional video and intimate “skinship” they had been longing for did not appear. There were only two dry photos, shot separately, followed by a boring video of them reciting the ad copy individually.

For a moment, the comment section under the official Weibo was filled with grievances.

【That’s it? That’s it?】

【(Crying) Where is the skinship? If there’s no skinship, at least put them in the same frame!】

【Which director shot this? He really doesn’t know how to play the game.】

【Director Liu, a total ‘straight man.’ The other couple he shot before was like this too.】

【Is there any editor who can save us? Can these two ad segments be edited together?】

The CP fans expressed their disappointment, but two minutes later, the official account suddenly posted a new Weibo.

“Felina Anniversary Celebration: Triggering Hidden Promotional Film — ‘Love for You’.”

Curious, the fans clicked in.

The video started with a black screen and a line of white text. At the same time, Tao Ran’s soft, lazy voice sounded.

“You… want to follow me?”

Immediately following was a firm, powerful answer.

“Yes. I want to follow you.”

The scene revealed a goblet filled with rum. Tao Ran picked up the glass and drained the dark brown liquid, her slender, elegant neck extending as she drank. She was wearing a red slip dress with a V-shaped pendant, and her red high heels swayed slightly, making her fair feet look snow-white.

She was an Omega like a femme fatale, her every move exalting a seductive charm. An Alpha sat kneeling before her, eyes filled with light, anticipation, and craving.

Yu Li had just come in from the rain; her long hair was damp against her temples, and a few droplets clung to her long lashes, making them glisten as if she had just finished a bout of crying. Her pitiable and moving appearance made one want to hold and cherish her, even knowing she was an Alpha.

Tao Ran looked down at Yu Li from above, swirling her glass with her legs crossed. She lifted the tip of her high heel, tilting Yu Li’s chin upward. Yu Li looked up at her with damp eyes.

Tao Ran gave a radiant smile, like spring flowers blooming in March. She used her thumb to lightly smudge the lipstick on her own lips, then slowly traced over Yu Li’s pale lips over and over. Her gentle movements made Yu Li think she had agreed, so Yu Li lightly took her finger into her mouth to suck it.

Tao Ran let out a soft hum and used her heel to kick Yu Li’s shoulder. Yu Li fell back in pain, and Tao Ran stood up, leaving her with only her back.

“You aren’t worthy of being my servant.”

The scene shifted. Tao Ran was wearing a black qipao with gold-embroidered roses, accepting glass after glass of wine at a banquet. While intoxicated, her business deal failed. She was asked to leave and stumbled home, only to sprain her ankle on the stairs at her doorstep.

She sat at the foot of the stairs, her eyes misty. She thought of the person who had sworn to follow her.

She tried to stand up through the pain, but was supported by a pair of hands at the corner. Looking up, she saw a pair of clear eyes. Yu Li wrapped her arm around her waist, tightening her grip slightly.

“I’m here.”

Tao Ran gave a soft laugh. “You… why are you still here?”

“I’ve always been here,” Yu Li said. “As long as you need me, I’ll always be here.”

Yu Li supported her as she walked a couple of steps. Tao Ran leaned toward Yu Li’s neck coquettishly and said: “What is this? I want you to carry me.”

Without a word, Yu Li picked her up. Tao Ran took the chance to wrap her arms around Yu Li’s shoulders, whispering in her ear: “Carry me to the bed, and I’ll let you stay.”

Her sweet breath mingled with Yu Li’s by her ear, making the latter’s heart race and face flush. Yu Li placed her on the bed and braced her hands on either side of her, looking anxious.

“My eldest miss, can I stay now?”

Yu Li was dressed very neatly today; a black tight-fitting top outlined her slender waist. Tao Ran couldn’t look away, and because Yu Li gave off the cedar scent Tao Ran loved, she refused to let go of her neck.

She buried her face in Yu Li’s neck, her breath as fragrant as an orchid.

“You can.”

Yu Li smiled with satisfaction and was about to get up, but was pinned down by Tao Ran. The Alpha was pressed down by the Omega, their temples rubbing together as Yu Li was teased until her face was bright red.

“I mean… stay.”

Yu Li froze. Tao Ran smiled. “What? Unwilling?”

She didn’t give Yu Li a chance to refuse. She touched Yu Li’s cheek, leaned down, and kissed her…

With the romantic, soothing BGM changing, the screen suddenly went black. A few lines of dialogue appeared on the screen.

“Eldest Miss.”

“Speak.”

“I’m willing.”

Following a very loud “mwah” sound, the black screen ended.

The comment section was filled with wails of excitement.

【THIS is the kind of commercial I should be watching!】

【Tao Ran is too seductive, and Yu Li is so hot too.】

【Seeing Yu Li being ‘trampled’ like that makes me… @!#$%^&】*

【What happens next?! Am I missing the data for the rest of the video?】

【So spicy, so spicy, the official account is taking the lead in being spicy!】

【Loyal Servant x Seductive Patron—I can ship this again!】

【Where are the artists? Where are the writers? Where are the fanarts? Where are the fanfics?】

The short, low-cost video reached over ten thousand shares in minutes. This time, Sister Zhang didn’t need to spend a penny on a water army; the fans manually pushed the Li-Ran hot search to the front row.

Director Liu also sent a message to thank them. “You two were right. Posting the original ad photos first and then the video makes the hype even higher.”

“It’s because Director Liu shot it so well,” Tao Ran said with a smile.

“If there’s a chance in the future, I definitely want to work with you again.”

Yu Li and Tao Ran shared a smile.

“Sister Zhang won’t have to have a headache looking at the hot search this time.”

“The endorsement fee for Felina is so high; naturally, the higher the hype, the better.” Tao Ran glanced at Weibo and chuckled. “Unfortunately, no matter how much hype we have, it can’t compare to Producer Gao today.”

Last night, Yu Li had told Sister Zhang about Producer Gao. Sister Zhang naturally protected her artists; she not only arranged for paparazzi to release the secret video of Producer Gao and the actress but also blurred the actress entirely. Only Producer Gao was humiliated.

Furthermore, the paparazzi dug up Producer Gao’s past misdeeds—cheating after marriage, taking advantage of female artists—scandals so thick even his capital backing couldn’t cover them. He was completely finished.

Meanwhile, in a bedroom, Shi Yi received news that the talent agency was terminating her contract. The company wasn’t just dropping her; they advised her to stop broadcasting early.

When Shi Yi asked why, the company representative said coldly: “Don’t you know who you’ve offended yourself?”

Shi Yi let out a long sigh, hugged her head, and crouched in a corner, tossing her phone aside. She knew that offending Yu Li would not lead to a good end.

How can Yu Li be so heartless? Even if they hadn’t been intimate, they had dated for a few days. Just because she almost harmed Tao Ran, Yu Li was going to make her lose her job as a streamer?

While she was grieving, there was a loud noise at her door. Opening it, she saw Aubrey holding a wine bottle, stumbling toward her, drunk.

Shi Yi pushed her away in disgust. “What are you doing at my house? Getting this drunk in broad daylight—what is wrong with you?”

“You think I want to be?” Aubrey’s words were slurred. She leaned shakily against the shoe cabinet. “I’m just… pissed off. Why are Yu Li and Tao Ran doing so well while I lose my job? Why?!”

“You too…?”

“I was doing fine at the bar, but Yu Li bought the bar directly and fired me. When I went for interviews elsewhere, not a single shop would take me. Damn that Yu Li.” Aubrey smashed her bottle on the floor with red eyes, glass shards scattering.

“Don’t act like a savage here!” Shi Yi said sharply. “If you’re so capable, go act like a drunkard in front of Yu Li!”

“You…” Aubrey pointed at Shi Yi. “Are you abandoning me too? You bridge-burning bitch.”

“I haven’t even crossed the bridge yet! You said you’d help me get Yu Li, but now look—I have nothing, and my job is gone too. Do you want me to starve with you?” Shi Yi grabbed her collar; as she spoke, she suddenly wrinkled her nose and began to cry.

“What are you crying for?” Aubrey let out a cold laugh. “You think I’m out of moves?”

“What moves could you possibly have left?”

“I know Tao Ran has a sister named Tao Yu.” Aubrey smiled sinisterly. “And I know which high school Tao Yu attends.”

“We can start with Tao Yu. I guarantee we’ll find a chance to deal with Yu Li.”
