After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, My Omega Underwent a Second Differentiation - Chapter 11
Drip.
A drop of water fell into the washbasin, slipping along the smooth inner wall and disappearing into the drain. The sound it made was infinitely magnified by the silent surroundings. No one noticed the faint movement coming from outside.
The carelessness that had been on Sheng Yinglan’s face just now had completely disappeared.
The ceiling light above the sink only illuminated half of her face, giving her whole person a shadowy, indistinct feeling. Her lowered lashes fell delicately against her eyelids, adding a touch of alluring danger.
Her eyes narrowed slightly because of her focused attention, but the depths of them were filled with a frightening coldness. Paired with her bewitching yet chilly face, it gave her a deadly sort of attraction.
Lin Wanjia’s back had first slammed hard against the marble counter, the pain making her vision go black. But because Sheng Yinglan was choking her, she could not even let out a proper cry of pain. She could only keep inhaling, trying to ease the pain from the impact against her back.
By the time her consciousness recovered slightly from the pain, she saw Sheng Yinglan’s unfamiliar, condescending appearance. She was even momentarily moved by the other woman’s cold beauty, only to be abruptly intimidated by the chill in her eyes.
She only saw Sheng Yinglan’s lips move slightly, as if she had said something, but because her senses had not yet coordinated themselves again, she could not tell what Sheng Yinglan had said.
She could only stare at her in a frightened daze.
After waiting for a long time without getting the answer she wanted, Sheng Yinglan expressionlessly pressed the glass shard in her hand another inch closer to Lin Wanjia’s neck.
She watched woodenly as tiny beads of blood seeped out from the cut on the other woman’s skin, then repeated her demand.
“I said, apologize.”
This time, Lin Wanjia truly felt fear.
Back when Sheng Yinglan had not yet been kicked out, they had often fooled around together. Although Sheng Yinglan had a bad temper, it was usually directed at others. Lin Wanjia’s family background was also there. Forget attacking her—there had never even been a real argument between them.
But now, the piece of glass at her neck was extremely sharp. Sheng Yinglan’s hand did not tremble at all. The way she looked down at Lin Wanjia did not look like she was looking at a living person.
Lin Wanjia did not doubt for a second that if she dared refuse Sheng Yinglan’s demand, the next moment, that piece of glass would directly pierce into her artery.
At a time like this, how could she still care about face? She hurriedly opened her mouth.
“S-sorry… I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“Remember this. Yun Rong’s name is not something you can casually defile. If I ever hear these two words from your mouth again, or anything related to her, I guarantee that next time, it will be a knife going straight into your artery.”
Her voice was clearly cold and threatening.
But when she said the two words “Yun Rong,” there was an indescribable submission and worship in her tone. Even the gloom originally in her eyes seemed to dissipate a little because of those two words.
The strength in her hand eased slightly, but she did not completely let go. Instead, she used the less sharp side of the shard to rub back and forth against the most delicate skin of Lin Wanjia’s neck, feeling the other woman’s body tremble continuously with her movements, ensuring that Lin Wanjia had truly taken her words to heart.
“I… I’ll remember. I’ll remember…”
Only after receiving the other woman’s hurried promise did Sheng Yinglan lightly withdraw her hand. She casually tossed the glass shard into the trash can beside her.
As Sheng Yinglan pulled back, Lin Wanjia uncontrollably slid down along the sink until she collapsed onto the floor. Clutching the wound on her neck, she gasped heavily for air.
But in the end, she no longer dared remain in the same room as Sheng Yinglan. She scrambled and crawled out of the restroom.
After Sheng Yinglan withdrew her hand, she did not even spare the other woman a glance.
Because she had held the fragrance bottle shard for a rather long time just now, some of the fragrance had stuck to her fingers. The jasmine scent was so rich it was somewhat nauseating.
She shook her hand in disgust, wrinkled her nose, and turned on the faucet again.
Ever since she became an actress, Sheng Yinglan had rarely fought with anyone anymore.
First, she no longer needed to rely on her fists to prove her strength so that others would not bully her.
Second, she did not want Teacher Yun to see her in this state.
However, the violence buried in her bones and blood, tempered through life and death, would not disappear with the passage of time. It would only be suddenly awakened at a certain moment.
She stayed in the restroom for a full five more minutes.
When she came out again, the frightening color in her eyes had vanished without a trace. In the blink of an eye, she had once again become the calm Sheng Yinglan.
Estimating that it was about time, she prepared to head straight to the audition venue upstairs.
But just after passing the corner and before walking far, she unexpectedly saw Yun Rong without warning.
The other woman was leaning against one side of the wall, tilting her head as she instructed the woman beside her about something.
Her long, straight calves were tightly wrapped in knee-high boots, the taut lines carrying a fatal attraction.
The moment Sheng Yinglan saw her, her first reaction was relief that what had happened in the restroom had not been discovered.
Then she thought of the black suit jacket still hidden in her wardrobe, and her face could not help turning red.
When she raised her head again, she happened to meet Yun Rong’s gaze.
Yun Rong first looked very surprised, probably not expecting to run into her here. Then, with a smile, she said something to the person beside her before walking toward Sheng Yinglan.
“What a coincidence. I thought you’d be resting at home.”
Yun Rong stopped in front of Sheng Yinglan and looked her over from head to toe, as if inspecting her, or perhaps merely glancing casually.
Her tone was clearly normal, like polite small talk after a chance encounter.
Yet Sheng Yinglan somehow felt that there was a hint of interrogation in it, as though she should have reported before leaving the house.
She shook her head, driving away the strange thought in her mind, and responded.
“Mm… I had something to do this afternoon.”
She explained briefly, but did not clearly say that she had come here for an audition.
Although she felt that with her ability, a small MV audition would naturally be no problem, she still wanted to wait until it was officially confirmed before telling Yun Rong.
Yun Rong very considerately did not continue asking. Instead, she bent down slightly and leaned closer to Sheng Yinglan.
“Did you take today’s medicine?”
Sheng Yinglan was startled by her sudden approach.
Especially when that familiar woody scent came rushing toward her along with Yun Rong’s movement. Like a trigger, it dragged back the absurdity of last night that she had finally managed to drive from her mind.
She did not dare look into Yun Rong’s eyes.
Yet she also did not step back because of Yun Rong’s sudden closeness. She merely lowered her gaze and nodded with a flushed face.
Her eyelashes were very long. When her eyes were lowered, they curled slightly upward, making her look extremely obedient.
It was vastly different from her aggressive appearance in the restroom just now.
Yun Rong had caught sight of a figure from afar outside earlier and thought she had seen wrong.
But when she followed, she discovered that it really was Sheng Yinglan.
She did not know why the other woman had come here today, and she was somewhat suspicious of such a coincidence. So she had kept following Sheng Yinglan from a distance without revealing herself.
Because of that, she had witnessed everything that happened in the restroom in full. Afterward, she created this “chance encounter.”
Yun Rong admitted that her interactions with Sheng Yinglan over the past two days had given her a completely new understanding of this person.
But just now, when no one else was around, and Sheng Yinglan had used a piece of glass to stand up for her, Yun Rong had still inevitably been extremely shocked.
So now, she wanted to see whether she could find any trace of acting on the other woman’s face.
But what entered her eyes was only flushed cheeks, tempting lips, and eyelashes trembling slightly because of her sudden approach.
She was just about to give this docile appearance an evaluation of “very obedient.”
But because the distance between them was extremely close, she smelled the scent of another Alpha on Sheng Yinglan.
Sheng Yinglan had finally gathered the courage to raise her head and look at Yun Rong.
But the moment she lifted her eyes, she saw the teasing expression on Yun Rong’s face rapidly disappear. Yun Rong stared fixedly at her, her eyes flashing with a ferocity and coldness Sheng Yinglan could not quite understand. There was even an almost undetectable trace of possessiveness hidden within them.
Sheng Yinglan was startled.
She did not understand why Yun Rong’s expression had suddenly changed. Her body instinctively took a step back.
This action only added fuel to Yun Rong’s already raging anger.
Yun Rong looked as if she were watching prey that clearly had no way out, yet was still struggling desperately. Sheng Yinglan took one step back, and Yun Rong advanced one step forward, until Sheng Yinglan’s shoulders unknowingly pressed against the wall at the side.
The restroom’s location was rather remote, and the corner was a blind spot in the entire corridor.
By the time Sheng Yinglan reacted, her whole body had already been trapped between Yun Rong’s body and the wall.
“You have someone else’s scent on you.”
Yun Rong said in a low voice.
As she spoke, she leaned forward and sniffed around Sheng Yinglan’s body, seemingly trying to find the source of that scent.
Her warm breath fell beside Sheng Yinglan’s ear, against her collarbone, and into the hollow of her shoulder.
Holding Sheng Yinglan’s arm, Yun Rong finally locked onto her fingers.
“Found it. What did you do with this hand just now? Your hand has another Alpha’s scent on it.”
How could Sheng Yinglan withstand Yun Rong doing this to her body?
The moment the other woman’s breath came near, her heart and mind wandered, and she wanted to turn her head to avoid it.
But before she could move, Yun Rong had already directly pressed one hand against half of her shoulder, controlling her body.
Clearly, Yun Rong was only smelling the scent on her body, but this action, so much like intimate whispering by her ear, made a secret feeling rise uncontrollably in Sheng Yinglan’s heart.
Only when Yun Rong’s warm palm wrapped around one of her hands did Sheng Yinglan belatedly remember.
Just now in the restroom, she had used this hand to threaten Lin Wanjia.
Presumably, the pheromone scent had gotten on her at that time.
Although she did not quite understand why Yun Rong would be so angry about her having another Alpha’s scent on her, her instinctive fear of Yun Rong’s current state still made her try to explain.
“This… I accidentally got it on me in the restroom just now. Don’t… don’t be like this…”
In truth, Sheng Yinglan did not even know what exactly she was pleading for.
She only instinctively felt that Yun Rong like this was somewhat terrifying.
