After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 15
Liang Manqing hadn’t slept all night, trying hard to recall the novel’s synopsis. The male and female leads were high school classmates. Because of her childhood experiences, the female lead silently cared for and paid attention to the male lead, but the male lead never gave her a second glance. It wasn’t until the female lead achieved minor success in the film industry that she dared to approach the male lead.
Jiang Hejing raised his eyebrows, looking at the female lead, Lin Mian. He found her gentle, lovely, and strongly resembling his white moonlight, so he kept Lin Mian by his side as a stand-in.
From then on, Lin Mian treated Jiang Hejing with full devotion, unaware that she was just a canary in Jiang Hejing’s palm, ready to be played with at any moment.
Jiang Hejing never loved Lin Mian until the end. Book fans were extremely dissatisfied and threatened to send razor blades to the author. The author was stubborn and forcefully arranged for the female supporting character, Qin Cen, to kill the male and female leads, resulting in a tragic ending.
Finally, the author and Qin Cen were both heavily criticized, which triggered the system to reverse the plot.
In Liang Manqing’s view, the true villain in this book was only Jiang Hejing. Beyond that, it was the author herself, who was heavily malicious.
Liang Manqing suddenly felt a sense of injustice. Why didn’t the author transmigrate?!
Liang Manqing shook her head, trying to clear the system’s voice. As expected, the system appeared the moment the female lead showed up.
It seemed the system was indeed protecting the male and female leads these days.
When Liang Manqing drove from the Liang residence to the photography studio, she happened to run into Lin Mian and her work team downstairs.
Lin Mian’s face and figure were excellent. She was fragile and delicate, possessing a kind of sickly beauty. It could be said that the role of the frail beauty, one of the female leads in Tomorrow’s Lily, was certainly hers.
Liang Manqing looked at Lin Mian’s slender back, guessing that Lin Mian’s feelings for Jiang Hejing were not romantic love.
Liang Manqing hadn’t read the book in detail, but she vaguely remembered a twist at the end, a scene where Lin Mian learned the truth and hated Jiang Hejing.
The author of this book never intended to write a Happy Ending; they were just using the pretense of an HE to write a Bad Ending and disgust the readers.
Before Liang Manqing’s logic chain could fully form, the system abruptly interrupted: 【Host, concentrate on completing your mission. Do not entertain thoughts about the male and female leads.】
Liang Manqing went into the photography studio. Shi Jia was already waiting at the door, finally realizing: “So Qin Cen’s photographer friend is CEO Liang.”
Shi Jia hadn’t expected Liang Manqing to be multi-talented: “CEO Liang, follow me.”
The photography floor was chaotic, with three teams working diligently in their respective shooting areas.
Only artist teams without their own studio would rent a photography studio. Usually, this place was frequented by minor internet celebrities. Famous celebrities wouldn’t come here.
Qin Cen also noticed Lin Mian on the opposite team. She hadn’t expected her to come too. Her team seemed less professional than Top Ten Entertainment’s, with the resulting photos relying entirely on her looks.
Shi Jia controlled the entire set, directing Qin Cen to step forward for the shoot.
Shi Jia’s character positioning for Qin Cen was precise. She was competing for the role of the “Ice Beauty” in Tomorrow’s Lily, so her style was cold and dominant.
Liang Manqing looked at Qin Cen through the lens. The beauty was icy, like frost and snow, even colder than her usual temperament. A touch of red lipstick was the Ice Beauty’s only soft spot.
The visual effect was excellent, yet something felt missing.
Qin Cen looked at Liang Manqing’s camera, trying to maintain the Ice Beauty expression, but Liang Manqing remained motionless.
Qin Cen could feel the eyes behind the lens. Her thoughts flashed back to last night, how Liang Manqing looked at her in the same way, making her entire body exposed to Liang Manqing’s gaze. Her thoughts then scrambled back to the night she was marked.
Qin Cen bit her lip, almost unable to endure Liang Manqing’s prolonged gaze. Her expression slightly faltered, her eyes softened, and her cheeks felt warm.
Liang Manqing adjusted the lens, quickly capturing Qin Cen’s instant of shyness.
The photoshoot went very smoothly. Shi Jia was highly satisfied when checking the photos; there were almost no unusable shots.
Shi Jia stared at the photos, praising Qin Cen: “Your expressive power is really strong, especially these few shots. They not only capture the ‘ice’ like ice and snow but also perfectly convey the ‘softness’ after the ice and snow melt.”
Qin Cen felt so guilty that her face almost turned red. This was because she was thinking about things she shouldn’t be thinking about.
Next, Shi Jia focused on Qin Cen’s casting matters. The preliminary selection was soon passed successfully, and at the same time, Liang Manqing’s jewelry design work also passed the preliminary review.
Tonight was the live audition for the dual female leads of Tomorrow’s Lily.
Top Ten Entertainment arrived at the location with full confidence.
Shi Jia was nervous, cheering Qin Cen on.
Qin Cen curved her lips, got out of the car, and went into the audition venue.
Liang Manqing slowly rolled down her car window, watching Qin Cen walk away, feeling inexplicably nervous herself.
About two hours later, a group of tearful women came out.
Liang Manqing leaned against the car, scanning the crowd, but she didn’t see Qin Cen emerge.
The crowd was almost gone, but she still hadn’t seen a sign of her.
Liang Manqing turned to Shi Jia: “Did you see her?”
“No. Did something hold her up?” Shi Jia leaned against the car window, trying hard to see, but still couldn’t find her.
Liang Manqing had a faint sense of unease. She didn’t wait any longer and told Shi Jia: “Wait here. I’m going in to look for her.”
She walked into the audition venue and heard two or three people running out in a panic.
Liang Manqing grabbed one of them and asked: “What happened?”
The girl was drawn to Liang Manqing’s face. There were so many auditioning actors, but no one could compare to the person in front of her.
The girl’s cheeks were flushed, and her voice trembled: “An Omega was forced into heat inside. The staff is clearing the area. I advise you not to go in. Leave quickly.”
Liang Manqing’s heart tightened. She quickly ran towards the end of the corridor. The staff were protecting privacy and preventing anyone from approaching: “Please leave.”
“I know the person inside.” Liang Manqing was anxious and forced her way through. She rushed into the venue and found that two people were forced into heat: one was Qin Cen, and the other was Lin Mian.
There was a woman taking care of Lin Mian. The woman had a work badge around her neck, apparently from the director’s team.
Liang Manqing looked closely. The woman’s name was Xia Jun, a designer from the TL series, a jewelry design prodigy.
It was unexpected that the TL designer was so young and accomplished. But what was the relationship between Xia Jun and Lin Mian? It seemed Xia Jun was very worried about Lin Mian.
Qin Cen let out a faint, painful sound in her throat. Liang Manqing leaned over and held the Omega in her arms: “Qin Cen, I’m here.”
Qin Cen’s forehead was covered in fine sweat. She bit her lip and said: “I feel awful…”
There were too many people present. Liang Manqing took off her jacket to cover Qin Cen, then wrapped one arm around Qin Cen’s waist and the other under her legs, holding her tightly.
Liang Manqing whispered: “I’ll take you out now.”
Xia Jun spoke to stop her: “Wait. We’ve given them inhibitors. It’s very dangerous for her to go out like this now.”
Lin Mian, who had been given the inhibitor, gradually calmed down, but Qin Cen’s symptoms seemed unalleviated and were worsening.
Liang Manqing stopped: “Teacher Xia, I need a private space right now. Could you please help me?”
Xia Jun seemed to understand. She cleared the surrounding staff and opened an empty office next door: “No one usually works here. Feel free to use it.”
Liang Manqing was grateful. She entered the office and locked the door tightly.
The inhibitor was useless for Qin Cen. The Omega’s body was burning as if being gnawed by ants.
Liang Manqing held Qin Cen’s hand and softly called her name: “Qin Cen, don’t be afraid.”
Qin Cen melted into Liang Manqing’s arms, her voice tight with distress. Since there were people outside the office, she didn’t dare to speak loudly and tightly bit her lip.
Qin Cen’s forced self-control completely collapsed the moment she saw Liang Manqing. She only softly grasped Liang Manqing’s collar and said: “Please help me…”
“Okay. I’m here.”
Liang Manqing spread her jacket on the office desk, allowing Qin Cen to lie on it for comfort.
The little rose scent grew increasingly strong, making Liang Manqing break out in a cold sweat.
The Alpha’s tequila pheromones seeped out, soothing the restless little rose.
After some time, Liang Manqing looked utterly exhausted. She leaned on the office desk with both hands, finally feeling relieved as she watched Qin Cen’s face gradually calm down.
The Omega slowly opened her eyes, the corners red and glistening with moisture, as if she had suffered tremendous grievance.
Liang Manqing lowered her eyes and asked: “Feeling better?”
Qin Cen’s eyes were clear. She supported herself with her arms behind her and sat up, asking nervously: “Where is this?”
Liang Manqing said: “It’s the audition venue. This is an empty office.”
Qin Cen’s hands clenched. She looked down at Liang Manqing’s jacket beneath her, feeling a tremor in her heart.
The situation looked exactly as if they had just done something intimate.
Qin Cen jumped down nervously, her legs wobbly, and she stumbled into Liang Manqing’s embrace.
Liang Manqing held Qin Cen’s waist with one hand and gently asked: “Do you need me to carry you?”
Qin Cen held her hands between herself and Liang Manqing, feeling her heart flutter. She quickly took a step back, almost hitting the corner of the office desk with her lower back.
Liang Manqing leaned in, raising her hand to block the desk corner, protecting Qin Cen in her arms, and warning: “Be careful.”
The distance between the Alpha’s embrace and the desk was extremely inappropriate. Qin Cen was in a dilemma, her breathing slowing down.
Fortunately, Liang Manqing quickly backed away, picked up her jacket, draped it over her arm, and looked at Qin Cen: “Ready? Shall we go out?”
Qin Cen nodded after calming her heartbeat.
Opening the office door, the corridor was quiet and empty. The two prepared to leave.
Xia Jun and Lin Mian came out of the opposite office. Liang Manqing thought they had already left.
Xia Jun had her arm around Lin Mian’s shoulder. Lin Mian looked pale and slightly resistant.
Qin Cen thanked her politely: “Teacher Xia, thank you.”
Liang Manqing slightly raised an eyebrow. Qin Cen hadn’t thanked her, but she was quick to thank others.
Xia Jun looked at Qin Cen: “I should be the one saying sorry for you two having to go through this at the audition venue.”
Lin Mian avoided Xia Jun’s hand, walked up to Qin Cen, and said: “I should be the one saying thank you. Without you, I truly don’t know what would have happened.”
Qin Cen pursed her lips into a smile at Lin Mian: “I’m glad you’re okay.”
Their relationship seemed overly close now. Liang Manqing was both confused and shocked. The book didn’t seem to mention them being this close. The plot seemed to have subtly changed.
Liang Manqing looked at Qin Cen, her eyes questioning: “Qin Cen, what happened to you two? How were you forced into heat?”
