After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, My Omega Underwent a Second Differentiation - Chapter 9
Daylight had already fully brightened. The bedside lamp had worked continuously through the entire night, and even now, it still flickered with a dim yellow glow.
Beside the wide, snow-white bed, someone was curled up.
She lay on her side, her black hair spilling behind her. Half of her face was buried in the crook of her arm, and the one exposed eyelid still carried a red mark pressed there by the thin blanket.
The collar of her dark green silk pajamas had come slightly loose, revealing a small, delicate collarbone and neck.
She was sleeping very deeply, as if utterly exhausted. Only, her hand was still clutching a black suit jacket that had already been wrinkled and ravaged into something like dried pickled vegetables. There were even some damp traces on the lapel.
A tiny bit of woody fragrance still lingered in the bedroom, mixed together with a faint floral scent. The smell was very light, but extremely pleasant.
Her good biological clock tried to wake Sheng Yinglan’s mind, which had been somewhat restless since last night.
First, she opened her hazy eyes. What entered her vision was an extremely unfamiliar golden color scheme, a complicated and luxurious crystal chandelier, and the colorful abstract artwork hanging on the wall directly opposite her.
For a moment, Sheng Yinglan was stunned.
Then the rest of her body gradually woke up as well.
The limp fatigue slowly surging up from her limbs, along with the sticky feeling on her lower body, made her suddenly remember that absurd dream from last night.
In the dream, she seemed to have returned to that hotel room from that night.
This time, neither she nor Yun Rong had been affected by the inducer, yet she was still unbelievably soft, held in the arms of Yun Rong, who wore a black suit.
Sheng Yinglan leaned against Yun Rong’s chest, her small mouth slightly parted as she greedily drew in the scent from Yun Rong’s body.
One of Yun Rong’s arms lay across her back.
It was an embrace between lovers.
The embrace of the person Sheng Yinglan had fantasized about countless times.
The agarwood scent came wrapping around her from all directions, as if it wanted to swallow her whole, and also as if it was forcing her to show an equal amount of sincerity in return.
She was ignorant and helpless. It was as though all the bones in her body had been softened and corroded by that fragrance.
She could only lie weakly against Yun Rong, burying her cheek against the other woman’s shoulder and neck, defenselessly offering the aching gland at the back of her neck to Yun Rong’s mouth.
The needle-like stabbing pain instantly turned into a wave of tingling numbness.
And then, because Sheng Yinglan’s ABO knowledge was unbelievably poor, the spring dream that had not even reached the main course suddenly came to an abrupt end.
Not only had she dreamed of Yun Rong, she had also tried to treat Yun Rong as an Alpha and make her bite her.
She had even gained a secret pleasure from it.
Could it be that having glandular disability disorder came with the side effect of imagining herself becoming an Omega?
Or had she become far too desperate because she had once again seen a face exactly like Teacher Yun’s?
This realization made Sheng Yinglan suddenly sit up from the bed.
Although she knew there could not possibly be anyone in the original owner’s home right now, much less anyone who could peer into the thoughts in her mind, Sheng Yinglan still could not suppress the shame of having dreamed about doing such embarrassing things with Yun Rong.
Instinctively, she wanted to raise her hand and cover her face.
But the moment she lifted her hand, she saw the black suit jacket clutched in it like a ruined rag.
There were still some suspicious damp traces on it. Sheng Yinglan only needed one glance before she hurriedly let go, as if she had been burned by fire.
Just as her mind was spinning rapidly over whether she should destroy the evidence right now, pretend to be completely clueless the next time she saw Yun Rong, or endure the shame and clean it first, the apartment doorbell rang.
Sheng Yinglan bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Startled by the sound of the bell, she sprang up from the bed and glared at the black suit jacket as if it were a class enemy.
The sound of sharp fingernails scraping across wood jolted Yun Rong awake from that strange dream.
Cold sweat dripped from her forehead and disappeared into the black bedsheets.
She panted heavily, calming her slightly accelerated heartbeat. After about a moment, she returned to normal.
At this time, the sky outside had just begun to brighten. Yun Rong went straight out of the bedroom and to the gym on the third floor.
Right now, she desperately needed an intense workout to properly empty her mind.
By the time Qin Yutong arrived with today’s schedule just after seven, Yun Rong was already sitting elegantly at the dining table, drinking coffee.
She had probably just finished showering. Her shoulder-length hair had not been completely dried, and the tips still carried a few droplets of water. The strands tangled faintly together. From up close, one could still smell the scent of mint shampoo, refreshing the mind while also making the head much clearer.
She wore a white fitted suit dress paired with a black high-collared inner top. Her neck was covered tightly, giving off a somewhat abstinent aura.
Yet her firm waistline and the calves wrapped in black long boots looked extremely sexy.
Although Qin Yutong had followed Yun Rong for a long time and was the only person Yun Rong had brought back to the Yun Group with her, she still felt amazed every time she saw Yun Rong like this.
However, it was purely appreciation. She had no improper thoughts.
“President Rong, there will be a board meeting within the group this morning that requires your attendance. At the meeting, President Yun will probably announce the matter of your share transfer. This was temporarily notified yesterday.”
Now that the Yun family had two heirs, it would inevitably cause trouble if both were called President Yun. So after Yun Rong returned, the people in the company changed to calling her President Rong.
No one knew how much of this was under Yun Keyi’s instruction, but Yun Rong did not care about an empty title.
Qin Yutong was also an extremely cautious person. To avoid unnecessary complications, even when only the two of them were present, she did not forget to use the changed form of address.
Yun Rong should have already expected this matter yesterday when she transferred the shares. It did not count as anything major.
Qin Yutong only briefly reminded her, then began discussing the real business.
“President Song’s side sent a message saying that she invites you to meet her at the Xicheng Film Base this afternoon.”
“Today? Why so sudden?”
Yun Rong raised one brow, seeming a little surprised.
Although Qin Yutong also felt this matter was rather sudden, after asking carefully, she had not obtained any useful information.
Hearing Yun Rong’s question now, she could only reply with some difficulty.
“The person who sent the message didn’t say much. They only said she wants to meet, as if there is some urgent matter.”
Yun Rong did not speak.
She knew Qin Yutong’s ability and also trusted her loyalty. Since Qin Yutong could not explain clearly, it was clear that the person who delivered the message was unwilling to reveal anything.
One of Yun Rong’s hands rested on the coffee cup. Her fingertips slowly rubbed the rim, as if she were considering whether to make this trip.
Qin Yutong was used to Yun Rong’s posture when thinking, so she did not interrupt. She simply stood quietly at the side and waited for instructions.
About two minutes later, Yun Rong withdrew her hand and made a decision.
“Arrange it. Find another excuse. We’ll go to Xicheng Film Base this afternoon.”
Qin Yutong nodded and accepted the order.
After the serious matters were finished, she habitually turned to leave, preparing to wait for Yun Rong in the car.
But before she had taken two steps, she was called back.
Yun Rong had originally planned to find time today to visit Sheng Yinglan.
Although she had generously said last night that she could give the other woman time to think, it would be better to settle this matter as soon as possible.
Especially now that Sheng Yinglan was dependent on her pheromones.
She had to grasp this opportunity well.
As soon as Yun Rong thought of Sheng Yinglan, she unknowingly remembered another matter.
“When will Shang Luo return to the country?”
Although Qin Yutong was a little surprised inside, not expecting Yun Rong to care so much about this matter, she did not show it on her face. Instead, understanding her meaning, she gave an answer that would satisfy Yun Rong.
“After Doctor Shang received Miss Sheng’s medical records yesterday, she said she would return to the country as soon as possible within this week. I’ll keep an eye on it and report to you once the time is confirmed.”
Only then did Yun Rong nod in satisfaction and let Qin Yutong leave.
Holding the few remaining slightly wrinkled fruits at home and several luxury brand custom gift boxes, Xiao Yuanxi went upstairs. After arriving at Sheng Yinglan’s door, she paced there for quite a while before finally pressing the doorbell.
The roses scattered in the hallway last night had already been cleaned away.
She had hesitated the whole night, but in the end, she still decided to come and thank Sheng Yinglan.
However, for a long while, there was no movement from inside the door, as if no one was home.
Just as Xiao Yuanxi was about to press her ear against the door and listen for sounds inside, the door was suddenly pulled open from within without warning.
Xiao Yuanxi did not have time to retract her movement. She remained in that sneaky, bent-over posture, carrying bags full of things in both hands. No matter how one looked at her, she seemed suspicious.
Fortunately, Sheng Yinglan inside the door also had an abnormal blush on her face at the moment and looked as if she had been caught doing something.
The instant the doorbell rang, she had reached out and hidden the suit jacket in the nearest wardrobe. Then she had rushed over to open the door as fast as possible, as if afraid that if she moved even a little slower, others would suspect her of doing something shameful in the bedroom.
Only when the door opened did she belatedly realize that she was now the owner of this apartment.
Why was she acting like a thief?
And she could have completely ignored the doorbell and simply waited for the person outside to grow impatient and leave.
But now that the door had already been opened, it would be somewhat impolite to close it again. Moreover, Sheng Yinglan also seemed not to have expected that the person knocking would be Xiao Yuanxi.
“You came to…”
Before Sheng Yinglan could finish asking, the other girl had already squeezed inside without the slightest sense of being an outsider. She even took the initiative to complain first.
“You were home, so why did you take so long? The things I’m carrying are really heavy.”
Xiao Yuanxi still had colorful braids tied on her head, but she had changed into a cute pajama set printed with teddy bears, making her whole appearance seem rather disjointed.
She was also extremely familiar by nature. The moment she entered, she piled everything onto the coffee table, then sat down on the sofa and looked up at Sheng Yinglan.
“What are you here for?”
Sheng Yinglan deliberately recalled things for a moment. After confirming that the original owner and Xiao Yuanxi had only occasionally run into each other in the elevator and had no other interactions, she asked with some confusion.
Xiao Yuanxi looked quite young. Even while sitting on the sofa, her eyes kept curiously looking around Sheng Yinglan’s home.
Hearing the other woman’s question, she hurriedly turned her head and gestured toward the things on the coffee table. With a serious expression, she tried to get closer to Sheng Yinglan.
“Of course, I came to thank you for helping me out last night. And also to improve our neighborly relationship.”
“With the fruit left over from your house last month?”
Sheng Yinglan looked at the few slightly blackened bananas and the pomelo that had clearly lost moisture, then fell into deep thought.
