After Transmigrating As The Film Empress Sister’s Kept Alpha - Chapter 12

No matter what Shen Yishu said, Lin Luosheng refused to believe that Ji Xiangyu had given her the nightdress willingly.

Ji Xiangyu was cold and distant toward everyone. Only a younger relative like Lin Luosheng, who had known her for years, could receive any affection from her.

Lin Luosheng had never heard of Ji Xiangyu becoming close to any Alpha.

Because of her special circumstances, Ji Xiangyu avoided Alphas even more than she avoided Omegas. Forget giving one of them an intimate garment like a nightdress—she rarely even spoke to Alphas beyond what was necessary for work.

Besides, Lin Luosheng knew exactly what kind of person Shen Yishu was.

How could someone who enjoyed sabotaging others at work possibly be a good person?

Although Shen Yishu’s appearance was indeed outstanding, beneath that attractive shell was nothing but poisonous malice.

How could Ji Xiangyu, who had encountered every type of person in the entertainment industry, ever take an interest in someone like Shen Yishu, who loved playing petty tricks?

Lin Luosheng folded the nightdress and placed it back into the paper bag.

Her upbringing would not allow her to wave someone else’s intimate clothing around while arguing in a hotel corridor.

“You’re saying Cousin gave this to you?”

Lin Luosheng looked at her suspiciously, the words I don’t believe you written clearly in her eyes.

“Mm. Ask Best Actress Ji.”

Shen Yishu leaned against the cold wall and yawned, knowing that her plan to return to bed that morning was now ruined.

She did not argue with Lin Luosheng.

The original owner had wronged Lin Luosheng more than once. If Shen Yishu said too much, she might never erase the image of herself as a villain from Lin Luosheng’s mind.

After thinking about it, Lin Luosheng decided Shen Yishu’s suggestion made sense.

She did not trust Shen Yishu at all, but a small trace of doubt appeared in her heart.

She vaguely remembered Ji Xiangyu casually asking her several questions about Shen Yishu the previous night.

Lin Luosheng took her phone from her pocket and prepared to call Ji Xiangyu.

She had only scrolled halfway through her contacts when she suddenly raised her head.

“Didn’t you say Cousin gave you the dress?” Lin Luosheng stared fixedly at Shen Yishu. “Then you call her.”

Lin Luosheng felt like an absolute genius.

Only a handful of people possessed Ji Xiangyu’s private phone number.

If they were already close enough for Ji Xiangyu to give her a nightdress, surely Shen Yishu would at least have her contact information.

Shen Yishu: “…”

She genuinely did not.

She had originally planned to ask for it, but what Ji Xiangyu said that morning had been so overwhelming that she had completely forgotten.

Only now, after Lin Luosheng blocked her outside her room, did Shen Yishu realize what a failure she was as a debtor.

She did not even have her creditor’s contact information. How was she supposed to transfer the money later?

Seeing Shen Yishu’s expression, Lin Luosheng became even more certain of her suspicions.

She called Ji Xiangyu herself, her tone changing completely from before.

“Cousin, did Shen Yishu just visit your room?”

Ji Xiangyu was taking a bottle of pheromone-blocking medicine from the refrigerator, planning to drink it before calling her assistant so that no one would notice the scent surrounding her.

Her heat had not yet fully passed.

In the past, once she injected a suppressant, her pheromones would stop leaking.

Perhaps Shen Yishu’s temporary mark had been too shallow, or perhaps Shen Yishu’s constant presence nearby had kept subtly provoking her.

Starting the previous night, Ji Xiangyu’s pheromones had begun leaking again. By that morning, the scent was already strong enough to cling to her clothes.

The blocking medicine tasted like traditional Chinese medicine made ten times more bitter.

Even someone as tolerant as Ji Xiangyu had to furrow her brows and force herself to swallow despite the protests of her taste buds.

She could not tolerate the commercially available blocking medicine sweetened with artificial flavoring.

The bitterness could not truly be concealed. Sweetness might fool the tongue, but it could not fool the throat. A bitter aftertaste mixed with sweetness was even more nauseating.

She placed her phone on the counter and switched it to speaker mode.

Taking small sips of water to suppress the bitter taste, she gave a quiet “Mm” when she heard Lin Luosheng’s question.

“Cousin, check whether she stole anything from you.”

Lin Luosheng watched Shen Yishu warily.

In her mind, Shen Yishu had already become a pervert who stole the nightdresses of beautiful young Omegas.

“Mm?”

Ji Xiangyu took several seconds to react.

“Are you talking about that dress?”

Lin Luosheng paused.

“…Yes.”

Ji Xiangyu’s expression did not change.

She drank another sip of water before slowly saying, “I gave it to her.”

Lin Luosheng asked aggrievedly, “Why?”

A smile appeared at the corners of Ji Xiangyu’s lips.

She elegantly finished the last of the water in her glass.

“Children shouldn’t ask so many questions.”

Lin Luosheng: “…”

She immediately understood why Shen Yishu was covered in such a strong rosemary scent.

A brief encounter would never have left the scent at that concentration.

The only explanation was that the two of them had spent the entire night together in the same room.

“Send her my WeChat contact. Ah Sheng, be good and come upstairs later so we can talk.”

Ji Xiangyu heard the displeasure in Lin Luosheng’s voice and coaxed her softly.

She knew that Lin Luosheng had conflicts with Shen Yishu.

Naturally, Lin Luosheng would feel wronged, as though the cousin she trusted had suddenly defected to someone else’s side.

“All right, Cousin.”

Lin Luosheng hung up with a pout.

She handed the bag back to Shen Yishu, whose lips had already curved upward, and glared at her.

Then she lowered her head, found Shen Yishu in her WeChat contacts, and forwarded Ji Xiangyu’s profile to her.

Shen Yishu accepted the bag but suddenly felt a chill down her back.

She had gone to great lengths to avoid becoming enemies with Lin Luosheng and had worked hard to clear herself of suspicion.

Why did it now seem that Lin Luosheng hated her even more?

“I’m warning you. If you dare reveal Cousin’s secret or treat her badly, I’ll have Zheng—someone deal with you!”

Lin Luosheng glared at her fiercely one more time before arrogantly walking toward the elevator, intending to find Ji Xiangyu.

Shen Yishu remained frozen for two seconds.

Instead of taking out her room key, she replayed Ji Xiangyu’s soft, coaxing words to Lin Luosheng in her mind.

Tsk.

Best Actress Ji’s unknown gentle side.

Shen Yishu finally swiped her card and entered her room.

That day’s filming was concentrated in the evening.

The weather forecast showed that the sky would be cloudless that night, with a large, bright full moon hanging overhead.

Even the best special effects could not compare with a real setting.

With a wave of his hand, the director decided to film the scene where Zhou Yi and Li Jin drank together beneath the moon and privately pledged themselves to each other.

Zhou Yi was intelligent and talented, and she approached everything with rigorous logic.

Only when it came to Li Jin did she completely lose her composure and abandon all reason.

In modern internet slang, she was entirely love-brained.

Perhaps the more deeply someone had loved and the more sincerely they had given their heart, the more precious their eventual awakening became.

Anyone who betrayed such sincerity deserved to swallow a thousand needles, making Li Jin’s later suffering even more satisfying.

There was a saying that a prodigal who returned was worth more than gold.

However, a prodigal harmed other people through her actions, while a love-brained fool only harmed herself.

In today’s scene, Li Jin became clingy after drinking and pestered Zhou Yi for a kiss.

In ancient times, unmarried women could hardly meet their future wife before marriage, much less engage in physical intimacy.

However, Zhou Yi was a level-ten love-brained fool.

So she agreed.

Sitting on the bed, Shen Yishu finished reading the script from beginning to end.

When she closed it, she could not help sighing.

Who had come up with the idea of casting an unattainable, icy beauty like Ji Xiangyu as a love-brained fool?

More importantly—

They were not actually expected to kiss during today’s scene, were they?

The original owner might have lost her first kiss already, but Shen Yishu’s was still intact!
