After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, My Omega Underwent a Second Differentiation - Chapter 6
Ever since the intimate photos of Sheng Yinglan and Yun Rong were exposed in the early hours of the morning, the trending topics had not quieted down.
The exhausted office workers, after a full day of hard work, had their fatigue washed away by those photos. In an instant, they transformed into melon-eating creatures darting wildly through the gossip field, impatient to verify the relationship between the two from even a single strand of hair.
One was the true princess of an extremely wealthy family who had only recently returned to her ancestors.
The other was a fallen knight who had been spoiled by an ordinary wealthy family, only to be kicked out of the house, seemingly burdened with quite a few romantic debts.
Just hearing about it casually was enough to know how much traffic this topic could generate.
So naturally, not many people cared to look at the news that the Sheng family had finally found their biological daughter after so many years.
When Sheng Baixue first saw that her own news had been suppressed by the photos of Sheng Yinglan and Yun Rong, she had still managed to keep calm. After all, she knew that Sheng Yinglan had kicked an iron plate this time.
In the news headline, the huge words “young couple” were clearly Sheng Yinglan’s handiwork at first glance. The Yun family had a vast and powerful business. It was impossible for them to allow this kind of news to spread on the trending searches, and even more impossible for them to want any connection with the three words “Sheng Yinglan.”
But while she was waiting for the Yun Group’s lawyer’s letter to slap loudly onto the trending searches, and waiting to see how Sheng Yinglan, without the Sheng family as her backer, would wag her tail and beg like a stray dog, she never expected that what came instead was an announcement from the Yun Group.
Not only did the Yun Group openly acknowledge Yun Rong and Sheng Yinglan’s romantic relationship, it also solemnly clarified the absurd rumors about Sheng Yinglan’s past. At the same time, it called on the public to give the young couple some breathing room and let them date properly.
After that, those photos disappeared from the trending searches one after another.
At first, Sheng Baixue could still persuade herself that this was definitely a public relations tactic by the Yun Group. How could someone like Sheng Yinglan possibly have anything to do with the Yun family? How could Yun Rong choose her as her girlfriend?
That was why she had dared to loudly accuse Sheng Yinglan just now and embarrass her.
But now, seeing Yun Rong appear with her own eyes—not only helping Sheng Yinglan indirectly scold her, but also personally admitting that the one pestering the other was Yun Rong herself and not Sheng Yinglan—Sheng Baixue simply could not believe everything happening before her.
Her face flushed bright red from being scolded. She wanted to speak and argue back, but after carefully thinking about Yun Rong’s words, she realized Yun Rong had not mentioned even half of her name.
If she opened her mouth now, would that not prove the other woman’s words true?
In the end, she could only press her lips tightly together, clench her fists, and glare hatefully at the floor.
As Yun Rong’s familiar scent approached, Sheng Yinglan finally felt the irritation lingering in her heart vanish in an instant.
Even though she knew Yun Rong was deliberately saying those things to vent anger on her behalf, when Yun Rong intentionally leaned close to her ear to speak, Sheng Yinglan still felt her heart tremble fiercely.
The hand Yun Rong had placed on her waist was also restless. It seemed to be urging her, or perhaps it merely brushed lightly against her.
When Sheng Yinglan lifted her head, she met Yun Rong’s slightly teasing eyes and understood that Yun Rong had not had enough fun yet. She wanted her to cooperate and continue acting out this scene.
Sheng Yinglan had no real grudge against Sheng Baixue. The other girl had scolded her a few times just now, and Yun Rong had already vented on her behalf.
Now, seeing Sheng Baixue looking unwilling but not daring to say anything on the surface, Sheng Yinglan felt that her anger had already been relieved. She did not want to argue with her any further.
So she maintained the posture of being held around the waist by Yun Rong and gently tugged at Yun Rong’s sleeve.
“Stop messing around. Let’s go.”
Although her voice could not really be considered coquettish, her tone was soft. Especially when she tilted her head and looked up at Yun Rong, her eyes were filled with a sense of reassurance.
Yun Rong was extremely pleased by it and magnanimously decided not to make things difficult for Sheng Baixue anymore.
However, when she turned around, she still did not forget to provoke Sheng Baixue. With a face full of obedient attentiveness, she held Sheng Yinglan and kept asking, “Are you thirsty? Are you tired? Does the wound on your body still hurt?”
She looked exactly like a perfectly devoted girlfriend.
Only after they had walked far enough to ensure Sheng Baixue could no longer hear did she finally stop talking.
However, the hand holding Sheng Yinglan never let go.
Compared with Teacher Yun, Yun Rong did not seem quite as mature. But she was straightforward in a somewhat cute way. Her dislike for Sheng Baixue was displayed openly on her face.
Sheng Yinglan ignored the other woman’s somewhat childish behavior. She stared at Yun Rong’s face, silently comparing her with Teacher Yun in her heart.
“What? Do you think my heroic rescue of a beauty was unbelievably handsome? Are you thinking of offering yourself to me?”
While Sheng Yinglan was watching in a daze, Yun Rong suddenly turned around. She raised her brows and revealed a wicked smile as she looked at her.
Sheng Yinglan was caught secretly staring and was teased by Yun Rong like this. In an instant, both her ears flushed red.
Pretending not to have heard Yun Rong’s question, she struggled slightly against Yun Rong’s arm and retreated from her embrace to a safe social distance.
Then she tried to change the topic.
“You… why did you suddenly come back? Has everything at the company been settled?”
Yun Rong was not satisfied that Sheng Yinglan had pulled away from her embrace.
However, she knew this matter could not be rushed, so she did not make any further reckless moves. Instead, she looked at the tips of the other woman’s red ears and replied,
“Mm. It’s settled.”
Actually, from Sheng Baixue’s sarcastic words just now, Sheng Yinglan had already realized that her question was unnecessary.
After all, if Yun Rong had not already signed the agreement, the Yun Group would not have issued the announcement.
Still, she wanted to ask Yun Rong clearly.
“About that share transfer agreement…”
But she had only just started speaking when Yun Rong blocked her off.
“There are too many people here. It’s not convenient to discuss this. Let’s talk about it after we return to the ward.”
Yun Rong seemed to know what she wanted to ask, but did not give her the chance. She raised her eyes and glanced around. Then, taking the initiative, she asked instead,
“Speaking of which, what are you doing on this floor? You didn’t even bring a bodyguard. Don’t you know your own physical condition? What if something happened?”
Words that sounded like a lecture but were actually full of concern were something Sheng Yinglan had not experienced in a very long time.
Especially when the person before her looked exactly like Teacher Yun.
She was momentarily stunned. Then she remembered that based on her age in the real world, Yun Rong should actually be a little younger than her.
Being lectured by someone younger than herself felt rather novel, but not embarrassing.
Sheng Yinglan decisively admitted her mistake.
“I just got the injection, so there shouldn’t be any problem. I wanted to ask the doctor something. I felt it wasn’t appropriate to bring a bodyguard, so I didn’t.”
Her attitude in admitting her mistake was good, reasonable, and well-founded. Even if Yun Rong deliberately wanted to make things difficult for her and use the topic as an excuse, she could not find an opportunity.
Especially since the other woman did not seem intimidated by her scolding. Instead, she looked at Yun Rong with a pair of deer-like eyes, trying to act cute and get away with it.
How could Yun Rong still stay angry?
Her tense body instantly relaxed.
Before she could ask what Sheng Yinglan wanted to ask the doctor, Sheng Yinglan’s sharp eyes first noticed that the gauze that had originally been visible at the edge of Yun Rong’s collar, on the back of her neck, seemed to be gone.
“Did you tear off the gauze on the back of your neck? Last night… did I bite you badly? I just wanted to ask the doctor whether I had already fallen ill when I bit you. Whether that counts as…”
For Sheng Yinglan, these words were truly difficult to say aloud.
She was not quite sure what the “temporary mark” written in the book actually meant. But for a single young woman like herself, discussing the matter of biting someone’s neck in public was still rather embarrassing.
So she spoke halfway and then stopped, hoping Yun Rong would understand the hidden meaning.
When Yun Rong heard Sheng Yinglan mention the gauze on the back of her neck, a trace of unnaturalness flashed through her eyes. Her footsteps also paused.
However, the emotion in her eyes disappeared in an instant. Instead, she took two steps back and lowered her head to examine Sheng Yinglan, who did not dare raise her head after asking the question.
“When you bit me…”
She deliberately kept her in suspense.
Only after Sheng Yinglan heard her speak and suddenly lifted her head, meeting her gaze, did Yun Rong continue,
“Don’t you remember?”
Sheng Yinglan waited for a long time, but did not receive any useful information. Only then did she realize she had been teased.
But regarding this matter, she was in the wrong after all. She was too embarrassed to show Yun Rong any attitude, so she could only shake her head. Then she lowered her head again and spoke somewhat awkwardly.
“I probably drank too much last night. I don’t remember anything. I only remember that being bitten hurt a lot.”
These words were a completely truthful description of all her feelings from last night. She also wanted Yun Rong to believe that she really did not remember anything, and that she was not lying.
“So what you mean is, you’re blaming me for biting you too hard?”
From last night until now, Yun Rong had discovered that the Sheng Yinglan before her was completely different from the Sheng Yinglan in her memory.
At first, she thought the other woman was pretending. But after spending this much time with her, it did not seem like it.
And now, seeing her foolish appearance, Yun Rong could not help wanting to tease her a little.
She deliberately raised her voice, putting on an expression of disbelief at being questioned.
Only then did Sheng Yinglan realize she had said the wrong thing.
Ultimately, this matter was the original owner’s fault. Whether she wanted to carry the blame or not, she had already taken it on. Yun Rong was only a victim. How could she possibly blame her?
She hurriedly waved her hands and explained anxiously,
“No, no. I just wanted to ask whether it hurt you. Whether it caused you any other effects.”
Seeing her serious appearance, Yun Rong did not answer directly. Instead, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if remembering something she did not want to recall.
One of her hands unconsciously reached toward the back of her neck.
After a long while, her eyes grew misty.
“Of course it hurt. It hurt so, so much.”
Her sudden change of expression caught Sheng Yinglan completely off guard.
Even though she suspected there was some acting involved, hearing Yun Rong say this and thinking back to her own feelings last night made Sheng Yinglan feel even more guilty.
Especially since her eyes followed Yun Rong’s movement to the back of her neck, as if trying to see something there.
But Yun Rong’s white high-collared dress wrapped her neck tightly. She could not see anything.
Yun Rong’s lowered eyes noticed the worry on Sheng Yinglan’s face and where her gaze had landed.
Then she asked in a bewitching voice,
“Do you want to see?”
Sheng Yinglan did not think too much about it. She assumed Yun Rong was asking whether she wanted to see the wound.
Although her tone was slightly strange, Sheng Yinglan still nodded.
Yun Rong was almost laughed into anger.
She did not know whether Sheng Yinglan truly did not understand or was pretending not to understand.
Immediately, she raised her hand and lightly knocked Sheng Yinglan on the forehead.
“You really want to see everything, don’t you? Do you know that an Omega’s gland is equivalent to their secondary sex characteristic? You wanting to see my gland now is the same as me wanting to see you here… mm, and here too. Can you let me see?”
Her gaze swept from Sheng Yinglan’s chest down to the area below her lower abdomen.
In an instant, Sheng Yinglan understood exactly which two places she meant.
The head that Sheng Yinglan had finally managed to lift immediately lowered again.
This was the clear difference caused by their different worlds.
In Sheng Yinglan’s eyes, the gland was nothing more than an extra organ on the back of the neck. Looking was just looking, touching was just touching.
But after Yun Rong put it that way, Sheng Yinglan felt that the words she had just spoken made her sound like an old lecher coveting Yun Rong’s body.
Now, not only her ears and entire face, but even her neck was dyed with a layer of pink.
She shook her head in panic.
“No… That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to look at your injury. No, no, I don’t want to see anymore. I don’t want to see anymore.”
Her incoherent words left Sheng Yinglan with no courage to face Yun Rong.
After she finished speaking, she felt that no matter how she said it, it sounded wrong. She hurriedly added,
“I’ll go back first.”
Then, without waiting for Yun Rong to move, and without insisting on finding the doctor anymore, she only wanted to quickly bury herself back under the blanket on the hospital bed.
Yun Rong had not expected her reaction to be so big.
However, she did not stop her. Instead, she stood where she was and laughed for a while before deciding to go to the doctor to add a piece of gauze.
When Yun Rong left the hospital that morning, she had felt that the gauze was really rather troublesome, so she had removed it.
She had originally planned to put one back on before returning to the hospital to see Sheng Yinglan, but when she heard that the other woman had left the ward, she became a little worried and forgot about it.
She had almost been discovered by Sheng Yinglan. Fortunately, it had been a false alarm.
By the time Yun Rong returned to the ward with gauze once again pasted over the smooth back of her neck, Sheng Yinglan had already been hiding under the blanket for quite a while.
Only after Yun Rong told her that the doctor had confirmed that when Sheng Yinglan bit her last night, she had already fallen ill, so the wound at the back of her neck was only an ordinary bite mark and was not serious, did she coax her out from under the blanket.
Sheng Yinglan did not dare say anything about wanting to look now.
She only secretly glanced when Yun Rong was not paying attention. After seeing traces of the gauze, she realized that perhaps the gauze had been hidden inside the collar earlier, which was why she had not seen it.
And so, the matter passed.
After all, she still had other important things to ask Yun Rong.
“Why are you helping me? That five percent of shares is very important to you.”
Whether it was concealing her condition or publicly announcing their romantic relationship, Sheng Yinglan was the one benefiting.
She finally found a suitable time and could not wait to ask Yun Rong.
Yun Rong seemed to have long expected that she would ask this.
She handed the warm water in her hand to Sheng Yinglan, then sat down beside her unhurriedly.
“I’m not only helping you. I’m also helping myself. I don’t want Yun Keyi to think that I came back for the family assets or the Yun Group. She is the only relative I have left in this world. I don’t want her to suspect me. So I need you to be my girlfriend in name.”
“I don’t really understand. Why would you having me as your nominal girlfriend make Yun Keyi stop suspecting you?”
Sheng Yinglan had mentally prepared herself, so she was not very surprised. She just had not sorted out the connection between these things.
“After my parents passed away, they divided the Yun Group shares in their hands equally into three parts. Yun Keyi and I each received one part, and the remaining part was reserved for the first child born to the Yun family. Now, I’ve already transferred five percent of the shares in my hands to Yun Keyi. In terms of equity, I no longer pose a threat to her.”
By the time Yun Rong said this, Sheng Yinglan had already understood.
Although Yun Rong no longer posed a threat in terms of shares, as long as she had a child with another Alpha, the child’s shares combined with the shares in her hands would still be a threat to Yun Keyi.
So she had to eliminate this threat as well.
Sheng Yinglan herself was the best candidate.
Moreover, Yun Keyi also knew that Sheng Yinglan had glandular disability disorder. Even if the two of them were really lovers, they would not be able to have a child.
Yun Rong was cutting off all her own escape routes.
And all she wanted was to become a little closer to her only remaining relative in this world.
Sheng Yinglan felt very uncomfortable inside. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
But Yun Rong, sitting across from her, spoke again.
“After what happened last night, I discovered that you’re very different from the person in my impression. There must have been some misunderstanding here. Setting aside our fake relationship, you are a very special existence to me.”
She looked directly into Sheng Yinglan’s eyes when she said this last sentence.
In that instant, Sheng Yinglan felt as though her heart had been fiercely burned by the light in Yun Rong’s eyes.
