After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 17.2

Liang Manqing looked at the bloody scene before her and couldn’t help but sigh. The characters in this book seemed to enjoy slapping each other.

Xia Jun lectured Xiao Chuchu and warned her: “Stay away from me next time you see me, or I’ll hit you every time I see you.”

Xiao Chuchu staggered away, her figure looking desolate.

The dual female leads for Tomorrow’s Lily were confirmed: the Ice Beauty was Qin Cen, and the Frail Beauty was Bai Ningning, a current A-list actress.

Amidst the joy, there was also a surprise: Qin Cen couldn’t believe she had passed the demanding casting test of the director and producer.

However, Lin Mian’s rejection was entirely unexpected for Qin Cen. In her previous life, Lin Mian gained huge fame after participating. Why was she rejected this time?

Liang Manqing was also surprised by the result. Could the system be meddling with Lin Mian’s current situation?

On closer inspection, it seemed unlikely. The system shouldn’t do anything that would be detrimental to Lin Mian.

A moment later, Xia Jun sent a message in the group chat: 【Lin Mian is missing.】

Lin Mian was a key figure in destroying the system. Aside from Xia Jun’s concern, Liang Manqing was also very interested in her whereabouts.

Liang Manqing guessed: 【Could she be with Jiang Hejing?】

Xia Jun: 【I’ve checked. Jiang Hejing is staying at the Neo Hotel tonight.】

Liang Manqing: 【Okay, let’s meet at Neo later.】

As their messages went back and forth in the group chat, Qin Cen put down her phone and looked at Liang Manqing: “You seem very concerned about Lin Mian.”

Liang Manqing, driving the car, didn’t deny it: “Lin Mian is very important to Teacher Xia. Since we are friends, we will definitely help. Aren’t you also very concerned about Lin Mian?”

Qin Cen didn’t deny it either. She was concerned about Lin Mian out of guilt.

The top floor of the Neo Hotel was noisy. Jiang Hejing’s degenerate friends were throwing a party there. The lights were flashing and dazzling.

Xia Jun rushed toward the entrance, but Liang Manqing stopped her: “Wait. Let’s find out if Lin Mian is here first.”

Xia Jun was frantic. She didn’t want to believe Lin Mian would actually come here to find Jiang Hejing, even willing to give up Tomorrow’s Lily.

Liang Manqing found a quiet spot and instructed Qin Cen to wait there with a cup of tea: “Qin Cen, wait here.”

Qin Cen asked: “Why can’t I go in?”

Liang Manqing: “Listen to me. Teacher Xia and I will go in. If anything happens outside, you must call me immediately.”

Qin Cen could only nod.

Liang Manqing and Xia Jun entered the party. All sorts of entertainment were in full swing.

They searched all around but couldn’t find Jiang Hejing.

Liang Manqing looked towards the back room partitions: “That’s the only place we haven’t checked.”

Xia Jun nodded at her. The two walked over, only to be blocked by a wall of people.

Liang Manqing spoke: “Tell Jiang Hejing to come out and see me.”

The wall of people stood silent, guarding the area fiercely.

Behind the partition, Jiang Hejing sat in a chair, a cigar half-burnt between his fingers. He could see everything happening outside.

The room used one-way glass. No one could see in from the outside, but Jiang Hejing could clearly see everything happening outside.

Jiang Hejing put out the cigar, pinched Lin Mian’s chin, and chuckled: “I didn’t expect you to be quite useful, actually bringing both Liang Manqing and Xia Jun here.”

Lin Mian sat on Jiang Hejing’s lap, her lips pink and full: “Ah Jing, I wouldn’t lie to you. I’ll listen to whatever you say.”

Lin Mian didn’t believe what Xiao Chuchu said. She didn’t believe Jiang Hejing wouldn’t bother to touch her.

“Lin Mian, I believe you.” Jiang Hejing stood up, grabbing Lin Mian’s waist and pushing her toward the glass: “As long as you listen to me obediently, I will treat you well.”

Lin Mian’s body pressed against the glass. She could see Xia Jun’s anxious figure outside. She closed her eyes and agreed: “Okay, I’ll be very obedient.”

Jiang Hejing was very satisfied. He released his Alpha pheromones and asked: “Does that feel good?”

Lin Mian bit her lip, her cheeks flushed: “Mhm…”

Jiang Hejing stopped just short: “That’s enough for today. If you want more later, you have to be absolutely obedient to me.”

Lin Mian’s legs went weak. She knelt on the floor, smiling contentedly. Ah Jing wasn’t unwilling to touch her after all.

Jiang Hejing opened the microphone and gave instructions to the security guards outside. Immediately, the strong scent in the air grew heavier.

Liang Manqing realized what it was and covered her mouth and nose: “It’s a dispersion drug.”

Xia Jun held her breath, but it was too late.

They hadn’t used inhibitor shots before entering the space filled with the dispersion drug. Their limbs gradually went weak, and severe exposure would cause them to lose consciousness. Too much inhalation could even lead to long-term side effects.

They had fallen into Jiang Hejing’s trap.

The longer they delayed, the worse it would be. Liang Manqing and Xia Jun exchanged glances, intending to break through the wall of people.

Just then, the door opened, and Jiang Hejing appeared, holding Lin Mian: “Long time no see, Liang Manqing.”

Liang Manqing coughed several times: “What exactly do you want?!”

Jiang Hejing smirked smugly: “I called you here to tell you that since I lost the Thousand Billion Office Building, I naturally have to make you suffer a bit.”

Liang Manqing scoffed: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose all your wrongdoings to the public?”

“Stop pretending.” Jiang Hejing’s eyes held fire: “You don’t have any evidence to take me down. You tricked me out of an entire building. What else are you trying to trick me out of?”

Jiang Hejing acted like the victim. Lin Mian felt pity and looked at Liang Manqing with added scrutiny.

How did Jiang Hejing know she had no evidence? Liang Manqing gasped weakly. They couldn’t stay here. She had to leave quickly.

Jiang Hejing found Liang Manqing’s reaction amusing and kindly warned her: “There are only two ways to resolve the effects of the dispersion drug: one is gastric lavage, and the other is marking.”

Saying this, Jiang Hejing pushed Lin Mian out. Lin Mian stumbled into Xia Jun’s arms. Jiang Hejing hadn’t given Lin Mian an inhibitor shot. She, too, was affected by the dispersion drug.

Xia Jun firmly protected Lin Mian: “Did Jiang Hejing do anything to you?”

Lin Mian shook her head, her forehead sweating in distress.

The Neo Hotel was Jiang Hejing’s territory. Outsiders couldn’t enter the top floor easily. It seemed Jiang Hejing intended to trap and torture them with the dispersion drug.

Of course, it was the male lead halo. The system was definitely helping Jiang Hejing.

Liang Manqing couldn’t help but curse the system in her mind.

System Voice: 【I told you not to mess with the male and female leads. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers.】

Even with Liang Manqing’s physique, she was close to giving in. Xia Jun and Lin Mian, affected by the dispersion drug, were practically embedding themselves into each other.

The staff had dispersed, and the doors and windows were tightly sealed.

Liang Manqing tried to force open the lock, but it was useless. A moment later, Qin Cen’s voice came from outside.

Qin Cen shouted anxiously: “Liang Manqing, are you guys okay?”

Liang Manqing slid to the floor, sweating profusely. She was close to giving up and could only weakly tap on the door with her fingers.

Qin Cen pressed herself against the door and said: “I’ve called a locksmith. They’ll be here soon.”

Liang Manqing’s consciousness was fading: “It’s no use… no one can get up to the top floor.”

It was true. Jiang Hejing designed this trap to intimidate Liang Manqing. When the predetermined confinement time was up, the lock would automatically open.

Liang Manqing fell onto the floor, her vision blurring to white: “Get us to the hospital for gastric lavage…”

When she woke up again, Liang Manqing was lying in a hospital bed, the sound of monitoring machines beeping in her ears.

Liang Manqing’s stomach churned. She tried to shift her position, but someone held her shoulder: “You just had a gastric lavage. Don’t move.”

Liang Manqing’s lips were pale: “I want water.”

“You can’t drink water yet.” Qin Cen dipped a cotton swab in water and gently moistened Liang Manqing’s lips.

Liang Manqing licked her lips: “Where are Xia Jun and Lin Mian?”

Qin Cen said: “They’re at the Neo Hotel.”

“Neo Hotel?” Liang Manqing asked with concern: “They didn’t come to the hospital for gastric lavage?”

Qin Cen lowered her eyes: “Xia Jun said Lin Mian’s constitution is weak, and she can’t have a gastric lavage. So last night…”

Liang Manqing lay back, understanding. Xia Jun had marked Lin Mian last night. That’s why she was the only one who came to the hospital for a gastric lavage.

Liang Manqing rubbed her stomach painfully and said pitiably: “Actually, my constitution is quite weak too.”

Qin Cen paused the hand holding the cotton swab. She had indeed asked Liang Manqing to mark her last night, but Liang Manqing refused and insisted on the gastric lavage. Why was she feigning weakness now?

“Is that so?” Qin Cen pressed her palm against Liang Manqing’s stomach: “Where are you weak?”

Her stomach spasmed. Liang Manqing grabbed Qin Cen’s mischievous hand, protesting: “I’m still a patient!”

Qin Cen’s eyes curved into a smile. Her previously cold expression gained a touch of life.

It was the first time Liang Manqing had seen Qin Cen smile: “Qin Cen, you look really beautiful when you smile.”

Qin Cen’s smile faded. She pulled her wrist out of Liang Manqing’s grasp: “I’ll go call the doctor.”

Liang Manqing put her hands behind her head, thinking that she should make Qin Cen smile more often in the future.

Three days later, Liang Manqing was fully recovered and discharged from the hospital.

Shi Jia drove over to pick up Liang Manqing.

Getting into the car, Liang Manqing saw an extra person in the passenger seat. Shi Jia introduced her: “This is my fiancée, Xu Yibing. We’re getting married soon.”

Xu Yibing was tall with long legs. Shi Jia said she was a model.

Liang Manqing greeted her. This was the first time she heard Shi Jia had a fiancée.

Shi Jia spoke while driving: “CEO Liang, the contract for Qin Cen to star in Tomorrow’s Lily has been finalized. Let’s find a place to celebrate.”

Qin Cen wanted to say: “But she just got discharged.”

Liang Manqing said: “It’s fine. We absolutely must celebrate such happy news.”

Shi Jia exclaimed: “Your relationship isn’t ordinary, is it?”

Qin Cen, who was about to say something else, immediately fell silent.

Liang Manqing clicked her tongue: “Focus on your driving.”

Qin Cen remembered: “Liang Xue is home alone. Should we bring her?”

Liang Manqing shook her head: “Forget it. It’s not appropriate to bring Liang Xue to our gathering.”

Shi Jia booked a private room. As they entered, they bumped into a familiar face coming out of the opposite door: it was Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng greeted them with a slight surprise: “Miss Liang, hello.”

Liang Manqing glanced at the private room behind Lin Cheng. It seemed to hold many people.

Lin Cheng explained: “I just started working at C City High School. Today is a gathering with my colleagues.”

C City High School was Liang Xue’s school. Liang Manqing: “Congratulations. You became a teacher?”

Lin Cheng pursed her lips: “Mhm, an English teacher for the third year of high school. Oh, I forgot to mention something. I will help tutor Liang Xue at school from now on, without extra charge.”

Liang Manqing said politely: “Then Liang Xue must be very happy.”

In just that short time, Liang Xue had run to Lin Cheng’s colleague’s party room several times.

Shi Jia had already drunk a can of beer and shouted toward the door: “Liang Manqing, what are you talking about for so long?”

Liang Manqing turned around and saw Qin Cen, who had also drunk half a can of beer.

“Qin Cen, you can’t drink.” Liang Manqing snatched the beer from Qin Cen’s hand. Qin Cen protested: “I just drank a little bit. I’m happy today.”

Shi Jia: “It’s fine. It’s just one bottle of beer. Liang Manqing, you shouldn’t drink since your stomach isn’t well. You can drive Qin Cen back later.”

Since she was drinking slowly, Qin Cen was still conscious.

Shi Jia suggested: “Just drinking is boring. Let’s play a game.”

Liang Manqing: “What game?”

Shi Jia and Xu Yibing exchanged a smile: “Push-ups with someone on your back. The loser pays the bill tonight.”

Push-ups with someone on your back sounded physically demanding. Liang Manqing casually said: “I just got discharged from the hospital.”

“CEO Liang, you’re a top Alpha. How could there be anything wrong with your body?” Shi Jia said, standing up: “Come on, let’s try it.”

Liang Manqing didn’t want to be a wet blanket. She looked at Qin Cen and asked: “Are you playing?”

Qin Cen, already slightly tipsy from one can of beer: “Yes, I’m playing! You can’t lose, or that means you’re impotent.”

Saying an Alpha was impotent was the greatest insult to Liang Manqing. Liang Manqing put her hands on the floor and offered her back to Qin Cen: “Then you better sit tight.”

Shi Jia was also ready. Xu Yibing sat sideways on Shi Jia’s back, a very practiced move, as if they had played many times.

Qin Cen didn’t dare to put her full weight on her, gently sitting on Liang Manqing’s back.

Liang Manqing felt the subtle, almost nonexistent weight. She freed one hand to support Qin Cen: “Scoot up a little. I’m afraid you’ll fall.”

Shi Jia urged: “Ready? Go!”

Qin Cen put her entire weight on Liang Manqing. The moment she settled down, her buttocks felt Liang Manqing’s powerful back.

At the command, Qin Cen counted the up and down movements.

Liang Manqing’s stamina was excellent. She freed one hand to prevent Qin Cen from falling, while Xu Yibing on the other side yelled: “35.”

Liang Manqing sped up, doing ten more repetitions than Shi Jia. Qin Cen counted while worrying that Liang Manqing wouldn’t be able to keep up.

But her worry was unnecessary. Shi Jia had slowed down from exhaustion. Liang Manqing didn’t seem tired at all, speeding up her movements.

Shi Jia lay on the floor, her arms trembling: “CEO Liang, you’re incredible.”

“80…” Qin Cen counted dizzily. When she got off Liang Manqing’s back, she was completely drunk: “Liang Manqing, you have great stamina.”

Liang Manqing took a breath and chuckled: “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Shi Jia shivered with jealousy: “I lost and still had to witness a public display of affection.”

Qin Cen was thoroughly drunk and curled up on the sofa.

Liang Manqing looked at Qin Cen helplessly: “She can’t hold her liquor but insists on drinking.”

“CEO Liang, Qin Cen is drunk. Since you haven’t drunk, you should take her home. Yibing and I will take a taxi.”

Shi Jia said, pulling out two gift boxes, examining them, and presenting one: “Oh, right. These are gifts from Yibing and me to Qin Cen. Congratulations on officially entering the entertainment industry.”

Liang Manqing took the gift: “Thanks.”

Shi Jia and Xu Yibing left.

Liang Manqing sat on the sofa and gently pinched Qin Cen’s cheek: “Qin Cen, wake up. Time to go home.”

As the tequila pheromones approached, Qin Cen was drawn to them and slowly released her little rose pheromones.

Liang Manqing sensed trouble. The little rose wrapped itself around her, hugging her neck: “Okay, let’s go home.”

Liang Manqing took off her jacket and covered Qin Cen, bending down to pick her up, letting her sleep in her arms.

On the way out, they met Lin Cheng and Liang Xue. Liang Manqing glanced at Liang Xue and said: “When the party is over, could I trouble Teacher Lin to take Liang Xue home?”

Lin Cheng: “No problem. We’ll be done soon.”

Liang Manqing nodded: “Thank you.”

The underground parking lot was empty and silent. Liang Manqing carried Qin Cen and searched for a while before finding where her car was parked.

She carefully placed Qin Cen in the passenger seat, buckled her seatbelt, and drove out of the parking lot.

Qin Cen kept complaining about feeling hot the whole way. Liang Manqing turned the air conditioning up to max. Only when the cold air blew down her neckline did Qin Cen stop pulling at her collar.

Liang Manqing sighed. She would never let her drink alcohol again.

Returning to the Liang residence, Liang Manqing first poured Qin Cen a glass of cold water to quench her thirst. After she drank it, regardless of what Qin Cen wanted to do, she tucked her straight into the blankets.

Qin Cen kicked off the blanket, muttering: “Hot! I need a shower.”

“No shower today.” Liang Manqing held down Qin Cen’s hands as she tried to take off her clothes: “You can shower after you wake up.”

Qin Cen’s eyes were hazy: “But I feel terrible. I’m sweaty and dirty.”

“You’re not dirty, not dirty. Be a good girl. You can shower tomorrow, okay?” Liang Manqing coaxed gently. She placed the gift from Shi Jia on the bedside table and quickly left.

With the soothing tequila pheromones gone, the emptiness in Qin Cen’s heart climbed up and took over her rationality. She didn’t want Liang Manqing to leave.

Qin Cen sat up in bed. Her hand touched the gift on the bedside table. The box fell out of the bag.

Qin Cen dazedly tore it open, and her eyes briefly lit up.

Liang Manqing returned to her room. She felt reassured when there was no movement in Qin Cen’s room and went to take a shower. The warm water enveloped her, blocking out the sounds outside.

Liang Manqing finished showering, dried herself, put on a thin nightgown, and sat on the edge of the bed to blow-dry her hair. She felt movement behind her.

Liang Manqing turned around and saw Qin Cen emerging from under the covers. She held out her hand for Liang Manqing to see: “You sat on my hand.”

Saying this, she flopped onto the bed and covered herself with the blanket again.

Liang Manqing quickly stood up: “Qin Cen, what are you doing in my room?”

Qin Cen showed her pair of wet eyes: “Your room smells nice. There’s a scent…”

Qin Cen was referring to the Alpha pheromones.

Liang Manqing knelt by the bed: “But if you sleep here, where will I sleep?”

“Ugh…” Qin Cen curled her body, frowning.

“What’s wrong?” Liang Manqing lifted a corner of the blanket and leaned in to ask: “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

“I don’t know how to use it…” Qin Cen took out a device from under the blanket. A slight buzz emanated from it when she touched a switch.

Liang Manqing was startled, sitting on the floor: “You… How do you have that?”

“It’s a gift…” Qin Cen said distressfully: “But I don’t know how to use it. Can you help me?”

Liang Manqing almost ground her teeth: “What on earth is Shi Jia thinking?”

Liang Manqing tried to take the object to turn it off, but Qin Cen wouldn’t let her. She started crying pitifully: “If you don’t help me, then fine, but don’t bully me…”

There was a commotion outside the door. It was Lin Cheng and Liang Xue’s voices. They were walking upstairs and stopping right outside Liang Manqing’s door.

The door wasn’t locked. Qin Cen’s crying and the buzzing sound were too loud. Liang Manqing quickly covered Qin Cen’s mouth, tucked her into the blankets, and said patiently: “Okay, okay, okay. Don’t cry. I’ll help you.”

Qin Cen blinked, stopped crying, grabbed Liang Manqing’s hand, and waited obediently, biting her lip: “Start now…”
