After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 2
The six words, “Soothe more, mark more,” left Liang Manqing somewhat stunned.
Liang Manqing: “Dr. Xu, is there no other way?”
“There is.” Dr. Xu pondered for a moment: “If the situation gets worse and cannot be controlled, the only method left is to excise the scent gland.”
The importance of the scent gland to an Omega is self-evident. In the novel’s ending, Qin Cen only completely blackened after the scummy friend of the male lead cut out her scent gland. It can be foreseen that the gland is more important to Qin Cen than her life.
Liang Manqing frowned: “The gland absolutely must not be removed.”
“It won’t be removed unless it’s a last resort,” Dr. Xu said. “The patient is out of immediate danger and has been moved to a specialized ward, but her heat period is not over, and she needs to be observed for a few more days.”
Liang Manqing: “Thank you, Dr. Xu. I understand.”
The specialized ward was a single-bed room with one nurse. Inhibitor drugs had no effect on Qin Cen. After regaining consciousness, she was tormented by her heat, drenched in sweat.
Qin Cen gripped the white sheet: “Nurse, quickly give me an inhibitor shot!”
The Omega’s cheeks were flushed, and she bit her red lip until it bled.
The nurse could only comfort her: “Your body has developed resistance to all inhibitory drugs, so even high doses won’t work. Dr. Xu said that asking the Alpha who marked you for an ‘Anfu’ (soothing) session is the most effective way.”
An aching itch spread through the back of her neck—something she couldn’t scratch but felt deep in her heart.
Last night, Qin Cen was suddenly hit by her heat period, and Liang Manqing’s marking unexpectedly brought her comfort.
Since Qin Cen’s differentiation, every heat period was endured with medication and was agonizing. Last night’s comfort made Qin Cen greedy. If Liang Manqing’s soothing truly worked, she could avoid further physical torment.
There were many things she hadn’t done in this life, so using Liang Manqing was not out of the question.
She recalled that in her previous life, her body also developed resistance to drugs, but not now—that was supposed to happen three years later.
Why did it happen early in this life? Could it be that Liang Manqing’s marking caused a change in her body’s mechanism?
Qin Cen bit her lip in fury: “Liang Manqing!”
Liang Manqing heard Qin Cen calling her name from the ward: “Miss Qin, what’s wrong?”
When the nurse saw Liang Manqing enter, she assumed the patient’s Alpha had arrived, thoughtfully closed the door, and left.
Qin Cen on the bed looked at her with hatred, her eyes full of resentment: “Liang Manqing, I’ll kill you!”
The Omega threw the cup from the bedside cabinet.
The glass cup flew straight at her. Liang Manqing quickly caught it: “Miss Qin.”
After catching the cup, Liang Manqing regretted it. It would have been better to let Qin Cen smash it to vent her anger.
Liang Manqing repeated Dr. Xu’s instructions: “Miss Qin, if you need anything, I am at your disposal.”
Qin Cen painfully closed her eyes: “Liang Manqing, if I find out that last night’s marking was your premeditation, I will never let you go.”
It was a well-known fact that Liang Manqing was a scumbag in C City, relying on the Liang family’s power to run amok. Last night, Qin Cen saw with her own eyes that Liang Manqing was together with the scumbag she hated most, laughing and chatting. Liang Manqing couldn’t be clean.
Liang Manqing stated earnestly: “Miss Qin, if I were responsible for what happened last night, I wouldn’t let myself off either.”
“You’d better remember what you said today.” Qin Cen had no time to listen to her anymore. The little rose scent filled the ward, continuously releasing.
Liang Manqing was no more comfortable than Qin Cen: “Miss Qin, I will release my pheromones now to soothe you.”
“I don’t need your hypocrisy.” Qin Cen got out of bed, staggering, wanting to go out and find a doctor, but her legs went weak as soon as her feet touched the floor.
Liang Manqing caught Qin Cen with both hands, avoiding excessive physical contact: “Miss Qin, lie down. You’re not well, so don’t move around.”
Qin Cen had no strength left and let out a painful moan in her throat.
Liang Manqing sat by the bed and slowly released her Alpha pheromones, hoping to bring Qin Cen some comfort.
Last night, Liang Manqing was covered in the smell of alcohol, which concealed most of her pheromone scent. Now, in the slightly disinfected room, the Alpha pheromones rushed in, both urgently and slowly.
This was the first time Liang Manqing smelled her own pheromones—a heady, rich tequila aroma.
The restless little rose, infused with the tequila, exuded delicacy everywhere.
“Feeling better?”
Liang Manqing controlled her pheromones to avoid excessive release. The tequila only tentatively touched the little rose’s petals, never touching the pistil.
With just a brief pheromone soothing session, Qin Cen’s high temperature dropped, and her restless heart calmed down. The little rose lost its sharp edge from before, and her pale green eyes showed vulnerability.
Qin Cen turned her gaze away: “Liang Manqing, don’t think I’ll be grateful to you because of this. You and Jiang Hejing are the same kind of people, relying on your family’s power and influence to commit all sorts of evil in C City.”
Jiang Hejing was the male lead in the original book. Everyone in C City had to show the Jiang family some respect. In her previous life, Qin Cen was driven to a dead end by him and embarked on the path of blackening.
After reading the book, Liang Manqing knew that Jiang Hejing and she were only superficial friends. The male lead was ambitious. He successfully annexed the Liang family, becoming the sole power in C City, leaving Liang Manqing with nothing and a miserable, obscure end.
As the cannon fodder with the same name, Liang Manqing hated Jiang Hejing even more. She would not be Jiang Hejing’s stepping stone again.
The system detected this thought from Liang Manqing and immediately triggered the electric shock button: 【Host, please diligently complete the mission and willingly become a stepping stone on the male lead’s path to success.】
A feeling like an electric shock pained the back of her neck, and numbness spread down her spine. Liang Manqing clenched her fist. This damn system was even spying on her thoughts.
Liang Manqing endured the discomfort: “Miss Qin, do you know it’s very dangerous to say such things in front of an evil person right now?”
Qin Cen slightly furrowed her delicate brow: “Are you admitting it?”
Liang Manqing knew Qin Cen misunderstood her: “Jiang Hejing and I are not the same kind of people. You can say these things to me, and I won’t hurt you, but don’t say them in front of Jiang Hejing. His methods are very dirty.”
Liang Manqing’s tone held both warning and concern. Qin Cen was somewhat lost in thought as she looked at her dark eyes.
Qin Cen, of course, knew how despicable Jiang Hejing’s methods were, but why would Liang Manqing be kind enough to warn her? Weren’t she and Jiang Hejing friends?
Liang Manqing avoided Qin Cen’s scrutinizing gaze: “Miss Qin, please rest well. I’ll be outside. Call me anytime if you need anything.”
Since she began releasing pheromones to soothe Qin Cen’s heat period, Liang Manqing’s body felt heavy, as if thousands of pounds were pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. The system was stopping her from soothing Qin Cen with pheromones.
How much malice did this book hold for Qin Cen, to torment her like this?
Liang Manqing called the system: 【Scumbag System, get out here.】
The system corrected her: 【It’s the ‘Abuse Scumbags System’. Don’t think about changing Qin Cen’s ending, and don’t think about giving her a taste of sweetness. Pheromone soothing has already violated the angst novel plot. You should abuse her severely to help Qin Cen blacken.】
Liang Manqing: 【Scumbag System, do you really think I’ll listen to you?】
The system sneered a few times: 【You must really enjoy the taste of an electric shock, right?】
The system was good at threatening people. Liang Manqing smiled and asked: 【The mere hint of a thought about not wanting to be the male lead’s stepping stone makes you this anxious? Are you very concerned about the male lead?】
Liang Manqing’s words made the system shudder: 【Liang Manqing, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.】
The system’s answer satisfied Liang Manqing: 【So, the male and female leads can’t experience the angst novel plot; they must have a sweet relationship all the way, right?】
The system became frantic: 【Stop your guessing!】
Liang Manqing smiled. It seemed she had guessed correctly.
If Liang Manqing completes the angst plot for the male lead, fulfilling the mission of being killed after Qin Cen blackens, then the system’s mission is to change the ending where the male and female leads are killed by Qin Cen, allowing them to have a sweet ending.
The system completely lost it and triggered the electric shock again: 【Liang Manqing, complete your own mission, or you won’t be able to return to your original world.】
A tiny current rolled over her body. Liang Manqing clenched her teeth. It seemed she needed to deal with the Scumbag System as soon as possible.
Liang Manqing didn’t let these thoughts linger in her mind, preventing the system from detecting them in time. 【Liang Manqing, now please stand in for the male lead and complete the first step of the physical and emotional torment plot: make Qin Cen your white moonlight’s stand-in, lock her by your side, and don’t allow her to go anywhere.】
Liang Manqing: 【Where would I get a ‘white moonlight’ (first love)?】
System: 【I will arrange everything. You only need to complete the mission, or I will have to trigger the electric shock.】
The system was truly a Scumbag System, resorting to electric shocks at the slightest disagreement. As an S-class Alpha, Liang Manqing couldn’t endure it either. Until she could deal with the system, Liang Manqing could only pretend to compromise.
The current subsided. Liang Manqing splashed water on her face, adjusted her state, and returned to the ward, only to find Qin Cen gone. The bed was empty but still warm, indicating she hadn’t been gone long.
The nurse said Qin Cen had been discharged. She felt it was pointless to stay in the hospital and would rather recover at home.
Liang Manqing left the hospital. The sunny sky suddenly became overcast, and rain poured down. Her phone buzzed in her pocket.
Liang Manqing answered the call and heard the other person’s voice filled with anger: “Liang Manqing, get back here immediately! Today is Grandma Jiang’s birthday, and you’re supposed to come with me to wish her well. Where are you?”
Liang Manqing: “May I ask who this is?”
The person on the other end was furious: “I’m your father! You’ve been playing crazy for two days and can’t even recognize your own father’s voice!”
Liang Manqing slightly pursed her lips: “Dad…”
Liang Jinshan’s anger hadn’t subsided, but his tone leveled out: “So you still remember I’m your dad.”
After hanging up, Liang Manqing recalled that the original owner had a poor relationship with her father. She hadn’t called Liang Jinshan ‘Dad’ since she became an adult. The two had been at odds for years. If it weren’t for the elderly Ms. Jiang’s birthday, Liang Jinshan wouldn’t have called her.
Many people who wanted to curry favor with the Jiang family would attend the elderly Ms. Jiang’s 90th birthday, and Liang Jinshan was no exception.
Liang Manqing was instructed to change into a gown as soon as she returned home. In the car, she said coldly: “The Jiang family has always looked down on people. We don’t need to suck up to them.”
Liang Jinshan sat in the passenger seat and looked at his daughter through the rear-view mirror: “You follow Jiang Hejing, the old lady’s grandson, all day long. Isn’t that sucking up?”
Liang Manqing curled her lips: “Dad, what if I said I’m only following Jiang Hejing to gain his trust and find a way to take down the Jiang family? Would you believe me?”
Liang Jinshan laughed a few times: “Well, I would certainly look forward to that.”
In C City, the Liang family had always been suppressed by the Jiang family. Liang Jinshan outwardly agreed with the Jiang family, but inwardly, he had long wanted to swallow them up.
At least on the goal of preventing the Jiang family from becoming more powerful, Liang Jinshan was on her side.
Liang Manqing’s thought flashed by. The system couldn’t detect it in time and could only rage helplessly.
The Jiang family villa was in the wealthy district of C City. The lights were dazzlingly luxurious, and the elderly Ms. Jiang’s 90th birthday was a grand event.
Liang Jinshan walked ahead, showing his invitation card. Liang Manqing followed behind. As she entered the manor gate, her eyes caught a glimpse of a figure nearby.
The woman was wearing a red formal dress that highlighted her slender figure. Her skin was like creamy jade, and the red on her lips was bright and enticing, like a blooming red rose.
Liang Manqing walked over: “Miss Qin, what are you doing here?”
Qin Cen was not surprised to see Liang Manqing at the Jiang residence. Even though Liang Manqing claimed they were not the same kind of people, Liang Manqing still eagerly came to wish the elderly Ms. Jiang a happy birthday.
They were clearly two of a kind.
Liang Manqing: “Are you feeling better? Why did you get discharged without saying anything?”
Qin Cen said coolly: “Does it concern you?”
“Miss Qin, that’s like burning the bridge after crossing it.” Liang Manqing was referring to her helping Qin Cen through her heat, only to be treated so coldly afterward.
Qin Cen: “Liang Manqing, if you hadn’t marked me, I wouldn’t have become allergic to inhibitor drugs this early.”
Liang Manqing narrowed her eyes: “Miss Qin, what do you mean by that?”
Qin Cen realized she had spoken carelessly. A flicker of unease crossed her pale green eyes.
At that moment, Liang Jinshan, by the manor gate, urged her on, interrupting Liang Manqing’s train of thought.
Liang Manqing looked at Qin Cen, her gaze slightly fixed: “You don’t have an invitation, so you can’t get in?”
Qin Cen didn’t speak, which was an admission.
Liang Manqing: “I have a way to get you in with me.”
Qin Cen was incredulous: “What way?”
Liang Manqing: “Be my Omega date.”
