After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, My Omega Underwent a Second Differentiation - Chapter 15

The partition between the front and rear cabins of the spacious high-end business car had changed from completely transparent to a tightly sealed black, turning the roomy back seat into a private, hidden space.

Sheng Yinglan leaned against one side of the car window, calming her pounding heart and doing her best to reduce her presence. She was afraid Yun Rong would suddenly do something reckless again and make her thoughts wander.

Fortunately, when the two of them had been standing outside the car, Yun Rong’s movements had not been as exaggerated as they were in the building earlier. She had only sniffed near Sheng Yinglan from a short distance away, confirmed that Sheng Yinglan had listened to her and no longer had anyone else’s scent on her, then quickly pulled away.

Seeing more and more passersby glance over because of their outstanding looks, Yun Rong had directly brought her into the car.

Sheng Yinglan originally wanted to say something to break the subtle atmosphere between them.

But Yun Rong received a work call, so she could only quietly curl up to the side, occasionally glancing at Yun Rong from the corner of her eye.

The other woman did not deliberately lower her voice. She showed no intention of avoiding Sheng Yinglan.

But Sheng Yinglan’s attention did not fall on those complicated business terms she could not understand. Instead, she openly swept her gaze over Yun Rong’s side profile.

Even the expression Yun Rong wore when she was serious seemed to have been carved from the same mold as Teacher Yun’s. Her tightly closed lips were pressed into a straight line, her words were few and precious, and her pitch-black eyes were like a calm lake without the slightest ripple.

Only her tense jawline would occasionally relax a little, unintentionally revealing a trace of loosened emotion.

Her small throat was hidden at her neck, appearing and disappearing faintly with Yun Rong’s movements. Sheng Yinglan only looked at it twice before feeling her own throat go a little dry.

Her gaze unconsciously moved back to those lightly colored lips, watching them open and close, revealing a soft, moist red tongue. From time to time, because they were stained with a bit of moisture, they would suddenly become gorgeous, even making the lines of her lips deepen slightly.

Suddenly, those watery red lips moved a little closer in her direction.

Then Sheng Yinglan saw Yun Rong’s well-defined hand wave in front of her, as if trying to draw her attention.

“What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?”

Yun Rong’s light voice rang beside her ear.

Only then did Sheng Yinglan’s gaze finally spread from the other woman’s lips to Yun Rong’s entire face, finally landing on the teasing look in her eyes. Only then did she realize Yun Rong had been talking to her.

Because she had stared at Yun Rong’s lips for a little too long, she had spaced out and failed to hear what the other woman said. She also seemed to have been caught red-handed by Yun Rong.

There was probably nothing more socially fatal than this.

Even Sheng Yinglan, who had been through countless situations, felt a little unable to keep her composure for a moment. She hurriedly withdrew the gaze that had fallen on Yun Rong and used her eyes to trace the patterns on the black partition.

Her body sat perfectly upright. Two fingers unconsciously twisted together, and with a face full of humility, she opened her mouth.

“I wasn’t… thinking about anything. I just… spaced out a little. What… what did you say just now?”

Seeing that the person who had just been staring at her with a fascinated expression had suddenly become like a primary school student punished to face the wall, so obedient that she did not even dare look at her while speaking, Yun Rong was instantly amused.

She relaxed and let herself lean back against the seat, no longer maintaining any posture. She laughed boldly and freely. Before long, even tears had appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Sheng Yinglan had been uneasy for a long while, already worried that Yun Rong would tease her. But instead of an answer, what she got was a burst of bright laughter.

After holding back for a long time, she still could not help turning her head in confusion to look at the person leaning back against the seat.

This was the most exaggerated expression Sheng Yinglan had seen on Yun Rong’s face since arriving in this world.

One hand covered her abdomen. Because of her laughter, her pale face gained a touch of liveliness. The tears at the corners of her eyes made her long, narrow eyes squint slightly, as if she had finally removed the shell wrapped around her body.

Sheng Yinglan had already wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Now, being laughed at by Yun Rong like this, that embarrassment instantly ignited and turned into shame and anger. She could not help calling out,

“What are you laughing at?”

If it had been someone unrelated, Sheng Yinglan probably would not even bother with them, much less give them the chance to laugh at her.

If it had been some enemy, she could have used the same method she used against Lin Wanjia and directly threatened them with force.

But the person before her was Yun Rong.

No matter how angry she was, she could not do anything.

Even that scolding carried a bit of helplessness.

After laughing for a while, Yun Rong’s reason returned slightly. She knew she could not push the other woman too far, and she also knew that she had indeed lost composure somewhat.

She coughed a few times lightly, finally holding back her laughter, then sat upright again.

Using her fingers to smooth the wrinkles she had pressed into her white suit, she turned her head and looked at Sheng Yinglan with damp eyes.

“I only wanted to ask what you like to eat. It’s just about dinnertime now. Let’s eat together. Consider it a celebration for passing your audition today.”

She very tactfully did not continue digging into the topic from earlier. She skipped over Sheng Yinglan’s embarrassment and her own loss of composure, bringing the subject back to the audition.

The moisture in her eyes had not completely faded. Her face was full of sincerity, and her bright eyes looked at Sheng Yinglan, making Sheng Yinglan feel that if she brought up the matter again, it would seem a little unreasonable.

Sheng Yinglan opened her mouth, unsure what to say for a moment. In the end, she could only respond,

“Anything is fine.”

Yun Rong did not comment after hearing this. Instead, she leaned half her body forward and pressed a button on the partition.

The originally black partition changed in response. A section in the middle turned transparent, revealing the air vent area.

“Go to MIX.”

Yun Rong instructed the driver and Secretary Qin in the front seat, then restored the partition to its original state.

The smoothly moving car seemed to turn, changing its original direction.

After what had just happened, Sheng Yinglan relaxed a little.

Yun Rong seemed very interested in her audition process and asked about the performance content along the way. Sheng Yinglan had no intention of hiding it from her, so she told her about the audition performance that day.

However, when Yun Rong heard that it was Xiao Yuanxi’s MV, a strange expression flashed across her face. Sheng Yinglan thought Yun Rong was also Xiao Yuanxi’s fan, so she did not pay much attention.

Just as Yun Rong wanted to ask further whether the call Sheng Yinglan had received in the corridor earlier had been from Xiao Yuanxi, and what relationship the two of them had, the car steadily came to a stop.

Yun Rong could only suppress the inappropriate question for the time being, lest Sheng Yinglan notice something was off.

The restaurant entrance was very hidden. Because it operated by reservation, there normally should not have been a waiter waiting at the door. But because Yun Rong’s identity was special, a waiter had already been waiting there early.

When the waiter saw Yun Rong arrive with someone, they hurriedly came forward.

“President Rong, Ms. Sheng, good evening. Please follow me this way. The reserved VIP private room and dishes have already been prepared.”

The other person nodded politely, then walked slightly ahead of them and pushed open a semicircular iron decorative door.

Compared with the remote and quiet scene outside the door, the inside was much livelier.

After passing through an arched corridor, the entire banquet hall slowly unfolded before them. The sounds of people drinking and chatting drifted gently into their ears.

Before coming here, Sheng Yinglan had also seen plenty of the world. Although she could not be considered a regular at this kind of restaurant, she was not so ignorant as to be like a frog at the bottom of a well.

It was dinnertime now, and there were quite a few people in the hall, but it was not noisy.

Between the tables, green plants and decorations had been cleverly used as dividers, ensuring privacy without appearing too deliberate.

Sheng Yinglan had originally been walking shoulder to shoulder with Yun Rong, but as her gaze swept casually around, she was drawn to the complicated mural on the dome. Her steps fell two paces behind.

“Ah Rong.”

Suddenly, Sheng Yinglan heard someone ahead call Yun Rong’s name.

The tone sounded very intimate and carried a bit of surprise, probably because the person had not expected to run into Yun Rong here.

At this moment, they had already followed the waiter to the southwest corner of the hall. If they continued forward, they would reach the private rooms on the second floor.

This area was somewhat narrow, so the three of them were walking in a line.

Seeing that Yun Rong had stopped, the waiter guessed that she might want to greet someone, so they very consciously moved aside, intending to stand behind the two of them.

But because Sheng Yinglan had been looking at the mural, she was a little far from the two, so the waiter ended up standing between them first.

As a result, when Sheng Yinglan heard the voice and withdrew her gaze, she was completely blocked by the two people in front and could not see what was happening ahead at all.

She curiously moved two steps forward and heard Yun Rong reply,

“Director Kou, what a coincidence. I really didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Yun Rong’s tone carried a bit more respect, but it was not the kind of respect shown toward someone of the same generation like Yun Keyi. It was more like a child meeting a family elder’s friend outside. But there was also happiness mixed into her voice.

Sheng Yinglan was somewhat concerned.

Standing at the back, she leaned slightly to the side, wanting to catch a glimpse of the other person’s face. However, her view was blocked by a thriving hanging crystal plant. She only faintly caught sight of the other woman’s indigo dress.

But the expected response did not sound.

Instead, a thick male voice suddenly cut in on its own.

“So it’s President Rong. Hello, hello. I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence today, running into you here. Hearing about you is truly not the same as meeting you in person. President Rong really is in the prime of youth and already showing extraordinary promise, hahaha…”

This voice inserted itself at a very bad time. The moment he opened his mouth, it was a string of official-sounding flattery.

First, he showered Yun Rong with praise. Then, without treating himself as an outsider at all, he continued,

“I’m Sheng Wang from Sheng Corporation. Today, I happened to bring my daughter to have a meal with Director Kou. Since a chance meeting is better than an invitation, President Rong, would you honor us by sitting down and chatting together? Oh, right, this is my daughter, Sheng Baixue. Baixue, come and greet President Rong.”

“President Rong, h-hello… I’m Sheng Baixue…”

It was only when Sheng Baixue’s timid voice sounded that Sheng Yinglan belatedly remembered that the original owner’s father was named Sheng Wang.

Now, Sheng Yinglan no longer wanted to squeeze forward.

She actually had not taken Sheng Baixue making things difficult for her at the hospital to heart. But that did not mean she wanted to have any more involvement with the Sheng family.

Moreover, Sheng Wang’s face just now had already fully demonstrated why the original owner had been raised into the kind of person described in the book.

Yun Rong had naturally seen Sheng Wang and Sheng Baixue sitting beside Director Kou from the beginning.

She had originally only wanted to greet Director Kou and ignore everyone else. Unexpectedly, the other party had delivered himself to her as a nuisance.

As if she had not heard a single word from the Sheng father and daughter just now, Yun Rong only swept a contemptuous gaze across their faces.

Because Sheng Baixue was wary of the words Yun Rong had used to scold her at the hospital, the moment she met Yun Rong’s gaze, she unconsciously lowered her eyes.

Yun Rong sneered inwardly, but her face remained calm as she turned toward Kou Jing.

“Director Kou, this isn’t a place to talk.”

When she said this, her gaze deliberately swept toward the Sheng father and daughter. Only then did she withdraw her eyes.

“You go ahead with your meal first. I’m taking someone upstairs to the private room. If you finish early here, just come up directly later.”

After saying this, Yun Rong turned back to look for Sheng Yinglan, intending to take her directly upstairs.

But the moment Kou Jing heard that Yun Rong had brought someone, then connected it to yesterday’s news, her eyes immediately narrowed.

Her soul of gossip burned fiercely. She stretched her neck to look behind Yun Rong, and her mouth did not stop either.

“Eh? Why didn’t you say so earlier? At least introduce her to me first.”

As a result, not only Kou Jing, but also the neglected Sheng Wang and Sheng Baixue looked back as well, seemingly wanting to see who exactly Yun Rong had brought with her.

Forced to receive everyone’s gaze, Sheng Yinglan was dragged forward by Yun Rong’s arm and pulled in front of her.

“This is Sheng Yinglan, my… girlfriend.”

Yun Rong still introduced the two of them. Only, when she reached the title, she paused slightly.

No one knew whether it was because she had remembered that the two of them had not yet discussed this part properly, or because this title was still unfamiliar to her.

“This is Director Kou, a famous director.”

Seeing that Yun Rong had no intention of paying attention to the Sheng father and daughter at all, Sheng Yinglan also could not directly speak to them. After all, her current identity was awkward.

So she could only shake hands with Kou Jing and politely greet her.

Unexpectedly, Kou Jing seemed very interested in her. While speaking, her gaze kept examining Sheng Yinglan.

Sheng Yinglan could feel that this gaze was not simply an ordinary assessment. It carried curiosity, but also faint hostility.

Just from Kou Jing’s face alone, it was hard to tell her exact age. But the mature womanly aura in her gestures was intellectual without losing sensuality. Especially in her long indigo gown, she looked even more elegant and poised.

Although Sheng Yinglan did not know where the other woman’s hostility toward her came from, this was their first meeting. She did not want to appear too rude, so she wanted to withdraw her hand.

Unexpectedly, Kou Jing not only did not let go, but also used the handshake to turn her hand halfway left and right, as if inspecting and evaluating it.

Only after a long while did she tease Yun Rong in a joking tone,

“I thought you only liked me…”

Seeing the displeasure in Yun Rong’s eyes, and catching the surprise in Sheng Yinglan’s gaze, she slowly added the second half.

“…my type. I didn’t expect your taste to change so quickly.”

Kou Jing winked at Yun Rong, raising the corner of her lips into a rather ambiguous smile.

But before Yun Rong could flare up, she obediently withdrew her hand and raised both hands in front of her chest in a gesture like surrender.

“Just kidding, just kidding. Hurry up and take your good little darling to dinner. I’ll come find you once things here are over.”

After saying this, without waiting for anyone else’s reaction, she pushed the two of them toward the stairs.

The mood Sheng Yinglan had originally had, looking forward to celebrating with Yun Rong, was completely gone because of Kou Jing’s joke.

She kept having the feeling that the other woman had used a joke as an opportunity to say something true.

“Is she an Alpha?”

Sheng Yinglan suddenly seemed to think of something and asked without any context.
