After the Scumbag Alpha Tries to Save the Love-Struck and Flips Over (Quick Transmigration GL) - Chapter 28

Lu Yan slowly lowered her phone. Her eyes took on a fragile golden hue in the sunlight, and her voice trembled slightly: “Sister…”

“What’s wrong?” Shen Su sensed something was amiss. She gently pressed her hands onto Lu Yan’s shoulders and asked warmly, “What happened?”

“My parents… they were hit by someone jumping from a building to commit suicide. They are in emergency surgery right now.” Lu Yan’s eyes reddened, and tears fell with a patter.

She resented her parents for being selfish, overbearing, and controlling, but they were her parents after all.

Memories of the past overlapped chaotically in her mind.

She remembered there was once a beautiful time when her parents stood hand-in-hand, getting along like a normal Alpha and Omega.

She remembered her mother’s gentle smile as she handed her a lollipop.

She remembered how once, while playing, she accidentally fell and sprained her foot, and her father carried her on his back.

That day, both her parents had taken her to the hospital together.

She couldn’t recall when the atmosphere at home began to change, nor did she know what event caused the shift.

But she remembered the warmth and the beauty.

“Don’t worry, let’s go to the hospital first,” Shen Su said softly, her palm resting on Lu Yan’s shoulder.

Lu Yan leaned weakly against Shen Su and hummed in agreement.

By the time they reached the hospital, Lu Yan’s parents were still in the resuscitation room.

The Lu family’s butler, Uncle Wu, was sitting outside. Seeing Lu Yan arrive, he hurried forward, his voice trembling: “Miss, you’re finally here…”

“Uncle Wu, how are my parents now?” Lu Yan asked, her voice choked with tears.

Uncle Wu shook his head, his face full of worry: “They haven’t come out yet.”

“Yan Yan, stay calm, I’m here…” Shen Su pulled Lu Yan into her arms, soothing her gently. Looking up at the red emergency light, she suddenly recalled that in her dream, Lu Yan’s parents had indeed died in an accident.

In the perspective of that dream, it was Liang Qiao who comforted a heartbroken Lu Yan.

The dream had been very immersive, so upon waking, she remembered the act of comforting her, but she hadn’t remembered exactly why Lu Yan was sad.

Now, however, Shen Su remembered everything.

The accidental death of Lu Yan’s parents was also the turning point in Liang Qiao and Lu Yan’s relationship; from that point on, Lu Yan became even more dependent on Liang Qiao.

But Shen Su was different from Liang Qiao. She wanted Lu Yan to eventually become stronger and better. Even if she was no longer there, she wanted Lu Yan to live well. In fact, she hoped Lu Yan would not be so dependent on her.

Shen Su gently patted Lu Yan’s back, letting her tears soak into her shoulder.

The door to the resuscitation room opened, and a doctor stepped out with a serious expression, scanning the three of them: “Who are the family members of Lu Ming and Jiang Hong?”

Lu Yan’s heart sank abruptly. She wiped her tears and walked to the doctor, choking out: “I am their daughter. Doctor, how are they?”

“I’m sorry, we did our best.” The doctor shook his head helplessly, folding his hands in front of him and bowing his head in apology.

It was exactly as expected.

Shen Su supported the swaying Lu Yan. Surprisingly, Lu Yan didn’t cry out like before. It was as if she had run out of tears; her eyes were dim and lifeless, and her spirit seemed completely extinguished.

At this moment, Lu Yan’s mind was a blank. Her ears buzzed for a long time, and the world felt as if it were spinning.

“Yan Yan…” Shen Su hugged her tightly, calling her name softly.

Lu Yan was awakened by the voice. Coming back to her senses, she slowly turned around and hugged Shen Su with all her might. Her forehead rested against Shen Su’s shoulder as tears fell silently, her voice shaking: “Sister, I don’t have a father or mother anymore…”

She hated their selfishness and their restrictions.

But death is like an extinguished lamp; those resentments seemed to fade away with their passing. The beauty that had been buried by hatred surfaced in her mind again and again.

“Yan Yan, stay strong. Uncle and Auntie surely would have wanted you to live a good life,” Shen Su comforted her warmly.

Uncle Wu also took a step forward and said, “Yes, Miss, please restrain your grief. The Master and Madam had already prepared their wills; the Lu Group will be taken over by you. They were actually very proud of you; they were just firm on the outside but soft on the inside.”

“Is that so?” Lu Yan asked, somewhat dazed, her breathing quickening.

Uncle Wu paused, then nodded.

“I think it’s true. Yan Yan has always been wonderful, truly,” Shen Su gripped Lu Yan’s hand, soothing her with absolute tenderness.

She reached out with one hand, using a tissue to carefully wipe the tears from Lu Yan’s face.

In truth, whatever feelings or expectations the Lu couple held for Lu Yan no longer mattered. Those who remained only hoped that Lu Yan could let go of the past and find happiness.

During the following period, Shen Su helped handle the funeral and the aftermath of the accident.

Lu Yan had learned a lot from her parents in earlier years. Combined with Shen Su’s guidance and the silent support of the Shen family, Lu Yan grew tremendously over the two-month summer break. She could now handle many things on her own.

Originally, the two had planned to travel during the summer, but Lu Yan was too busy, falling asleep the moment she got home every day.

Shen Su felt as if they were back in the days of Lu Yan’s final exams.

No, even busier than that. At least exams had an end, but work was never-ending.

Shen Su could only do her best to provide Lu Yan with help, care, and delicious food.

A week before Shen Su was set to go abroad, Lu Yan was still busy as a revolving door, seemingly forgetting about the start of the semester.

That day, Shen Su made Coconut Milk Cubes at home and personally delivered them to Lu Yan’s office. Seeing Shen Su arrive, Lu Yan’s eyes lit up. She immediately put down her pen and said joyfully, “Sister! Why are you here!”

Shen Su was a frequent visitor to the Lu Group, but every time Lu Yan saw her, she was equally enthusiastic.

Sure enough, the next second, Lu Yan threw herself into Shen Su’s arms.

“I missed you so much!” Lu Yan wrapped her arms around Shen Su’s waist and buried her head in her chest, taking a deep breath. “Sister smells so good, so pleasant—almost like milk.”

But it wasn’t the scent of pheromones.

“Here, I made you a dessert!” Shen Su smiled, lifting the box of Coconut Milk Cubes and handing it to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan let go of Shen Su’s waist, took the box, and placed it on the office coffee table. As she opened it, her eyes filled with light: “It looks so delicious!”

Lu Yan picked up a spoon, brought a small piece to Shen Su’s lips, and smiled sweetly: “Sister, you taste first!”

Meeting Lu Yan’s mischievous gaze, Shen Su understood her intent but went along with it, opening her mouth: “Ah—”

The sweet, light coconut milk cube melted between her lips, and the coconut flakes on top were very fragrant.

“It must be delicious. I’ll taste it too.” Right as she finished speaking, Lu Yan kissed Shen Su’s lips, capturing that sweet flavor.

Shen Su’s back was pressed against the sofa cushions, her hands supporting her as she sat in a deep indentation. Lu Yan’s hands were propped on the sofa beside Shen Su’s shoulders; Shen Su was almost entirely enveloped in her shadow.

As they kissed, Lu Yan slowly opened her eyes. The mischief in them was gone, replaced by an indecipherable struggle.

“Why are you distracted?” Shen Su hooked her arms around Lu Yan’s neck. With her eyes closed, she flipped them over, regaining the initiative and pinning Lu Yan to the sofa.

Lu Yan’s bun immediately came undone, her long hair scattering chaotically across the cushions.

Shen Su slowly opened her eyes, her eyebrows curving as her thumb gently stroked Lu Yan’s cheek: “Our Yan Yan is truly beautiful.”

Lu Yan blinked: “Is that so?”

Shen Su leaned down slightly and kissed Lu Yan’s curly eyelashes: “In my eyes, you are the most beautiful.”

“What a coincidence, I feel the same way.” Lu Yan cupped Shen Su’s chin with both hands, taking her lower lip and slowly reclaiming her territory.

Just as the two were lost in the moment, a knock sounded at the door.

Lu Yan looked up and hurriedly shouted, “Wait a moment—”

Shen Su couldn’t help but chuckle. Lu Yan’s voice had cracked from the panic; and yet she still dared to play around like this in the office.

The person outside paused: “Yes, President Lu.”

Shen Su raised an eyebrow, pulled Lu Yan up, and helped tidy her clothes, personally tying her bow tie: “Go back to work, I’ll just sit here.”

“Okay.” Lu Yan cleared her throat, covering her nose and mouth slightly as she said to the door, “Come in.”

A petite Omega entered, but she spoke concisely and efficiently.

Since Lu Yan was an Omega herself, she didn’t care if employees were Alphas or Omegas as long as they were capable.

Listening to their conversation, Shen Su felt the rapid growth Lu Yan had achieved over these two months. Her gaze toward Lu Yan softened instinctively.

After the employee left, Lu Yan immediately transformed from an authoritative “tiger” into a kitten, burrowing into Shen Su’s arms: “See, Sister? There are no other Alphas around me. I only have you…”

Shen Su sat face-to-face with Lu Yan. She held Lu Yan’s shoulders and said seriously, “Yan Yan, it’s not that you only have me. You have other friends and a social life. I am not your everything, and I cannot be your everything.”

“Sister, don’t you want me to have only you in my heart and eyes?” Lu Yan tilted her head, looking at Shen Su with some confusion.

If possible, she wished Shen Su only had her as well.

“I do.” Shen Su pinched Lu Yan’s cheek. “As a lover, of course I want to be the only one in your heart. But I want you to be free. As long as there is always a place for me in your heart, that is enough.”

As she spoke, Shen Su pointed to the location of her own heart.

“Okay.” Lu Yan suppressed the dark thought in her mind and revealed a brilliant smile. “I know Sister loves freedom, and I won’t force you. Sister, go study abroad with a peace of mind.”

Shen Su was slightly surprised: “You haven’t mentioned the study abroad trip for a long time. I thought you’d forgotten.”

Lu Yan buried her head in Shen Su’s shoulder and said in a muffled voice, “How could I forget? I remember everything about you.”

“Then on the night before I leave, remember to come home early. I’ll make you something delicious.” Shen Su pressed a gentle kiss on Lu Yan’s forehead.

“Okay.”

On the night before her departure, Lu Yan left work on time as promised, not working late as usual.

Employees who normally left on time were surprised to see her, whispering among themselves.

“Why is President Lu leaving so early today?” “No idea…” “Maybe she’s going on a date!”

Lu Yan didn’t have time for the gossip. She hurried to the underground parking lot and drove home.

Arriving at the front door, she stood outside for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door. The house was dim, with only a faint flickering light coming from the direction of the dining room.

Lu Yan’s heart rate spiked as she walked slowly toward the dining area.
