After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, My Omega Underwent a Second Differentiation - Chapter 7
The question that had been bottled up in her heart was finally asked aloud. Sheng Yinglan should have felt relieved after receiving an answer, but for the past half a day, all that kept circling in her mind was the scene of Yun Rong saying she was a special existence.
It would not leave her.
It was not until the female doctor brought over medicine for her stress reaction and reminded her of the precautions after discharge that she finally came back to her senses.
“I’ve already asked the doctor to put the medicine for treating your stress reaction into unmarked bottles separately. One pill a day.”
Seeing that Sheng Yinglan seemed a little distracted, Yun Rong reached out and took the medicine, repeating the instructions for her.
“Although ordinary people won’t be able to tell easily, you still need to be careful. Don’t let anyone discover anything unusual. This is one month’s worth. When you finish it, remember to…”
Halfway through, Yun Rong seemed a little worried and suddenly changed her words.
“Forget it. When the time comes, I’ll remember to come help you get the medicine.”
This kind of intimate concern and subtle gesture gave Sheng Yinglan the illusion that Yun Rong had already entered the role of her girlfriend ahead of time.
But in truth, after Yun Rong had said those words earlier, she had considerately said she could give Sheng Yinglan some time to think about whether she was willing to become her contract girlfriend.
That meant their romantic relationship would not quietly end after this trending topic storm died down. It would continue until Yun Keyi fully accepted Yun Rong as part of the Yun family.
Actually, Sheng Yinglan did not need any time to think about it. She had already made the decision in her heart immediately.
But because of the original owner’s character setting, she was afraid that agreeing too quickly would seem strange. So she accepted Yun Rong’s proposal to give her time to consider.
Perhaps noticing that Sheng Yinglan’s thoughts had not been focused on her instructions at all, Yun Rong examined her expression again.
“Are you sure you can be discharged? If you’re still not feeling well, you can stay for another two days.”
Aside from the bite wound on her neck, Sheng Yinglan had no other injuries. As for glandular disability disorder, it was not something that could be cured just by staying in the hospital.
So after the doctor examined her and tactfully said that there was nothing seriously wrong with her anymore, Sheng Yinglan decided to be discharged.
When her gaze slowly gathered from empty space and landed on Yun Rong’s face, Sheng Yinglan revealed a faint smile.
“Mm. I’m already fine. I don’t want to stay in the hospital either.”
Ever since she had muddle-headedly arrived here last night and gone through so many things, she urgently needed a private space to think about what to do next.
Fortunately, when Sheng Yinglan sorted through the original owner’s memories that morning, she discovered that although the original owner had been kicked out of the Sheng family, and all fixed assets under her name as well as the money on her cards had been taken back by the Sheng family, she had previously rented an apartment in the city center for fun.
She had paid half a year of rent in one go, and the lease had not expired yet. Sheng Yinglan could stay there temporarily for a while.
At first, when Yun Rong heard that Sheng Yinglan wanted to return there, disapproval clearly flashed across her face.
But perhaps because she herself had said she would give Sheng Yinglan some time to think, she did not object in the end.
She only saved her phone number into Sheng Yinglan’s phone and hoped that if anything happened, Sheng Yinglan could call her at any time.
When everything was almost packed, Sheng Yinglan finally realized she was still wearing a hospital gown.
She wanted to change into ordinary clothes, only to suddenly remember that when she had been unconscious last night, she had not been wearing anything.
At the moment, she was too embarrassed to bring it up, so she merely tactfully obtained the female doctor’s permission to wear the hospital gown away.
“Cough… I didn’t expect you to be discharged so soon, so I didn’t prepare any clothes. If you’re not in a hurry, I’ll have someone buy a set now.”
Yun Rong’s gaze swept over the hospital gown on Sheng Yinglan’s body. As if suddenly remembering some suggestive image, she could only cough lightly as a cover. Then she reached out, about to send off the bodyguard following at the side.
But Sheng Yinglan stopped her.
“No need. I’m only going home anyway. Let’s go.”
Although Yun Rong had not returned to the Yun Group for long, she was not idle.
Not only had Yun Keyi arranged work for her at the company, but since she had only just returned home, there were still many social occasions she needed to attend.
Today, she had already made an exception by running to the hospital once. She truly could not spare the time to send Sheng Yinglan back personally, so she could only instruct the bodyguard to take her home.
The afternoon in early autumn already carried a somewhat desolate chill in the breeze.
After leaving the constant temperature system inside the hospital room, the thin hospital gown did nothing to keep out the cold. Sheng Yinglan felt as if the wind had blown straight through her entire body.
She was just about to say goodbye to Yun Rong and hurry into the car.
Who would have thought that the moment she turned around, a crisp black suit jacket was draped over her.
It was still stained with the faint scent of agarwood from Yun Rong’s body.
Yun Rong casually straightened the collar for her. Her slightly cool fingertips brushed across Sheng Yinglan’s collarbone, stirring up a small electric current.
Satisfied to see that the person who had originally wanted to say something seemed to suddenly freeze, and that her pink-white ear tips were slowly covered in red, Yun Rong then pretended as if nothing had happened and withdrew her hand.
“Wear it properly. Don’t catch a cold. Hurry and get in the car. Remember to call me if anything happens.”
After saying that, without waiting for Sheng Yinglan to react, she stuffed her into the car. Then she got into another car without looking back.
Only after the car carrying Sheng Yinglan had driven far away did she belatedly press herself against the window, wanting to catch another glimpse of Yun Rong.
But all she caught was the hurried flow of traffic.
Reluctantly, she withdrew her gaze and tightened the coat draped over her body.
Surrounded by that familiar scent, she inexplicably felt as though she was being held in Yun Rong’s arms.
Sheng Yinglan allowed herself to lose herself in that fragrance for a while.
The apartment the original owner rented in the city center was not far. In less than fifteen minutes, Sheng Yinglan had already arrived.
She originally wanted to ask the bodyguard driving the car to take Yun Rong’s clothes back directly.
But after hesitating until she had already gotten out of the car, she still did not open her mouth. In the end, she comforted herself by thinking that she could take it home, wash it clean, and return it the next time they met.
The apartment had very good privacy.
Although it was located in the bustling city center, it was hidden behind a commercial building and faced the canal. There was also a small planned garden in front of the building, planted with a patch of golden osmanthus.
In this season, when the wind blew, the fragrance was rich. It really did feel somewhat like a hidden paradise within the city.
Aside from the large flat on the top floor, each floor of the apartment only had two units.
The original owner had rented this place for fun, so she had directly rented the large flat on the top floor. Both the elevator and the entrances and exits below the building used facial recognition and numeric passwords.
Fortunately, Sheng Yinglan had recalled the password in advance, so entering the building did not take much effort.
However, perhaps because her outfit was truly a little too mismatched, the guard looked at her several times.
After so many years as an actress, Sheng Yinglan had long since grown used to being looked at.
Even in the most miserable circumstances, she could still walk forward without turning her eyes aside. Naturally, this bit of scrutiny did not bother her.
As the elevator approached the top floor, the originally quiet high-end apartment suddenly had some rather discordant noise and clanging sounds of impact.
Moreover, as the floor number rose, those sounds gradually became clearer.
With a ding, the elevator arrived.
Sheng Yinglan took a deep breath and stepped out of the elevator.
At the same time, from outside the fire door diagonally opposite the elevator came a muffled groan.
The next second, the tightly shut fire door was pushed open in a panic, and a girl with colorful dreadlocks, wearing a tight black T-shirt and hot pants, ran inside.
“I’m telling you, this is sexual harassment. Stop following me. How many times do I have to say it? I don’t like…”
Perhaps she had not expected someone to come to the top floor at this time, the girl’s footsteps paused, and her voice stopped as well.
Sheng Yinglan felt that this girl looked somewhat familiar, but before she could remember anything, the fire door was pushed open a second time.
A shifty-looking man rushed in.
In his hands, he held a tacky bouquet of roses. A few flowers at the edges had already wilted from lack of moisture.
The man’s eyes flickered with an abnormal obsession and fanaticism.
“Yuanxi, I finally found you. These… these are flowers I bought for you. Will… will you marry me?”
After saying this, without caring that Sheng Yinglan was still present, he was about to kneel on one knee and even tried to reach out and touch the girl.
The girl was so frightened that she jumped up and hurriedly took several steps back, hiding behind Sheng Yinglan.
Sheng Yinglan originally did not want to meddle in other people’s business.
But these two were blocking the hallway, and she could not get through the door at all.
Besides, after the brief buffer just now, she had already searched the original owner’s memories and found that this girl was a popular singer named Xiao Yuanxi, who lived in the apartment below the original owner.
With this, the strange scene before her was easy to explain.
This man was clearly something like an obsessive stalker fan. Somehow, he had found Xiao Yuanxi’s residence and frightened the girl into fleeing in panic up the stairwell to this place, blocking Sheng Yinglan’s path.
She had originally thought the noise just now was coming from her own apartment, and that the original owner had some bad friends here partying.
Now that she realized it was not, she instead let out a breath of relief.
Seeing that it was not a solution for this scene to remain deadlocked, she simply took out her phone neatly and made a call.
“Hello, 110? I found a suspicious person here. He’s been stalking someone and trespassed into someone else’s home without permission. The address is…”
At first, the man’s eyes had only been fixed on Xiao Yuanxi.
But when Sheng Yinglan made the call, his expression had already begun to turn nervous.
When she mentioned stalking and trespassing, the man quickly turned around and ran down the stairs.
The bouquet of flowers was also thrown to the ground in his panic.
Xiao Yuanxi had originally still been standing behind Sheng Yinglan, somewhat stunned.
The fire door was pushed open and bounced back with a bang, making her realize what had happened. She hurriedly tried to stop Sheng Yinglan from continuing the call.
Sheng Yinglan was not used to standing so close to anyone other than Yun Rong.
She stepped aside to avoid the other girl’s movement, then showed her the phone.
“I didn’t really call the police. But for something like this, I still suggest you report it. Next time, if what he brings isn’t roses but a knife, you probably won’t even be able to run up here.”
After all, she had also been an actress for a long time.
She knew that sometimes, because of various reasons, some people did not want to call the police when they encountered things like this.
That much was clear from how Xiao Yuanxi had run upstairs just to hide from the man.
Sheng Yinglan had no curiosity and did not plan to form a deep friendship with the other girl. So after giving this piece of advice, she no longer paid attention to her.
Instead, she went straight to the door, entered the password, unlocked it, and stepped inside.
Xiao Yuanxi stood in place, staring at the closed door in a daze for a while, as if deep in thought. Only then did she turn and leave.
The apartment environment was much better than Sheng Yinglan had imagined.
Although most of the decor used bright gold and other very high-profile colors, making it look extremely flamboyant, all the living functions were complete. There were also people who came regularly to clean it, so it could be considered neat and tidy.
For Sheng Yinglan, who currently had not a single cent to her name, this was already very good.
