After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 20.2
The police took Yu Manman away. Yu Zhiting apologized to Liang Manqing: “It is my responsibility. I apologize for not raising Yu Manman properly.”
Liang Manqing’s gaze was cold, and her voice was chilly: “Miss Yu, I believe our partnership should end.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiting looked up nervously: “But Yu Manman has already been punished, and our collaboration has just begun. Everything is getting on track. Now is not the time to terminate the contract.”
Liang Manqing: “I have already decided. I will transfer the penalty for breach of contract to your company’s account tomorrow. Miss Yu, please leave.”
Yu Zhiting tightly clenched her hands: “I will not agree to this.”
After a night of observation, Liang Xue was out of danger and transferred to a regular ward.
Liang Xue woke up and saw the unfamiliar environment: “Where am I?”
Liang Manqing touched her cheek: “You’re awake. This is the hospital.”
Liang Xue recalled what happened yesterday and immediately panicked. She raised her hands, and a sharp pain flared: “Hiss… my hand.”
Liang Manqing quickly held her hand and gently lowered it: “Don’t move around. Your hand is fine; the glass has been removed.”
“But… it really hurts. My hand won’t be crippled, will it?” Liang Xue grew more afraid the more she thought about it: “I’m an Alpha…”
Liang Manqing: “It’s alright. The doctor said you’re fine. Just be obedient and you’ll get better soon.”
Liang Xue asked uncertainly: “Really?”
Liang Manqing: “When have I ever lied to you?”
It wasn’t until the doctor made rounds that Liang Xue felt reassured after confirming she was okay.
However, she wouldn’t be able to hold a pen for a month. Liang Xue was instantly stunned. How could this be “fine”?!
Liang Xue only cared about her studies: “But my exams are coming up. What if this delays my learning?”
Liang Manqing: “I’ll hire a tutor for all subjects. You can still study well here in the hospital.”
Liang Xue thought for a moment: “But can I have Teacher Xiao Cheng tutor me in English?”
Liang Manqing found this difficult: “We’ll have to ask Lin Cheng’s opinion.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Cheng’s voice came in: “Of course, you can.”
Seeing Lin Cheng, Liang Xue immediately cheered up: “Teacher Xiao Cheng, you’re here!”
Lin Cheng had brought fresh fruit. Seeing Liang Xue’s hand, she nervously asked: “How did it get this serious?”
Liang Xue didn’t want Lin Cheng to worry, so she smiled widely: “Teacher Xiao Cheng, the bandage just makes it look serious. The doctor said I’ll be fine in a month.”
Lin Cheng gently stroked Liang Xue’s soft hair: “You’re a good girl, Xiao Xue.”
A week later, Liang Xue’s stitches were removed. The doctor determined it was a minor injury, and with active movement and exercise, there would be no long-term after-effects.
Cosmetic sutures were used on the wound, leaving no obvious scar. Liang Xue finally smiled.
Over the next few days, more visitors came, mostly Liang Xue’s classmates.
One of the girls said: “Liang Xue, I have good news for you. Yu Manman was publicly criticized by the school.”
“Huh?” Liang Xue paused while eating an orange: “What happened?”
“The police went to the school and gave Yu Manman a stern lecture. The whole school now knows that she maliciously used a milk bottle to injure you. The principal and teachers considered the matter severe and made Yu Manman read a letter of apology in front of the entire school.”
“I never liked Yu Manman anyway. She was so arrogant at school. It’s about time she was taken down a peg.”
“I even filmed Yu Manman reading the apology letter for you.”
Watching the video, she found it hilarious that Yu Manman was bowing her head in apology, reading and crying at the same time, with tears and snot streaming down her face. She loudly apologized to Liang Xue and promised to be a better person in the future.
Liang Xue peeled an orange and put a segment into her mouth, feeling delighted while lying on the hospital bed.
There was nothing more gratifying than seeing the wrongdoer punished.
Since Liang Manqing terminated the contract with Yu Zhiting, her studio had been busy looking for a new collaborative team.
This period had been hectic, and the studio was gradually expanding.
Liang Manqing raised her head from a pile of design drafts: “How is the recruitment going?”
Qian Haiye: “We’ve filtered a batch, but the excellent ones aren’t willing to come, and the willing ones don’t have the qualifications.”
Liang Manqing understood: “I see.”
Next week was the Star Jewelry red carpet invitational show. Liang Manqing put down her pen; the design drafts on her desk were already finalized. This time, she planned to kill two birds with one stone.
A figure was pacing outside the studio door. Liang Manqing frowned when she opened the door and saw the person: “Miss Yu, when did you arrive?”
Yu Zhiting took off her sunglasses, her eyes rimmed with red: “Miss Liang, can we talk?”
Liang Manqing hadn’t expected Yu Zhiting to come to her. Their collaboration was long over, but out of politeness, Liang Manqing invited her into the studio.
The studio was simple, featuring only a plastic mannequin, an office desk, and two office chairs.
After surveying the space, Yu Zhiting determined that Liang Manqing needed reliable team cooperation to drive the studio’s development.
Qian Haiye poured a cup of water: “Please have some tea.”
Liang Manqing gestured for Qian Haiye to leave, then met Yu Zhiting’s eyes: “Miss Yu, what can I do for you?”
“I’ll be direct. I want to invite you to attend next week’s Star Jewelry show with me.” Yu Zhiting was very confident in her work, so she was momentarily stunned when she heard Liang Manqing’s refusal.
Liang Manqing’s expression was faint: “Miss Yu, I already have a suitable person in mind.”
Yu Zhiting: “With my influence, I believe no one is more suitable than me.”
Liang Manqing slightly furrowed her brows: “In my mind, I already have someone more suitable than you.”
Hearing Liang Manqing’s insistent refusal, Yu Zhiting held back and spoke with her red lips slightly parted: “Is Miss Liang still bothered by Yu Manman injuring Liang Xue? Are you even putting Yu Manman’s fault onto me?”
Yu Zhiting was aggressive, trying to provoke Liang Manqing. Unfortunately, Liang Manqing wasn’t falling for it. Her calm gaze swept over Yu Zhiting’s face, and she used a very irritating phrase: “If Miss Yu chooses to think that way, there’s nothing I can do.”
Yu Zhiting’s eyes twitched slightly: “Do you have to use that tone with me?”
Liang Manqing’s patience was wearing thin. Yu Zhiting suddenly stood up, her eyes red: “Liang Manqing, you will regret this.”
Yu Zhiting walked out of the Qianyi office building, unwilling to accept the rejection, and ran into Lin Mian.
Lin Mian smiled at her: “Perhaps I can help you.”
After Yu Zhiting left, Shi Jia ran down from the sixth floor and asked excitedly: “Ms. Liang, are you really going to collaborate with Ten Best Entertainment and crash the Star Jewelry show?”
Liang Manqing leaned back against the chair, smiling easily: “I already refused Yu Zhiting. Does that answer your question?”
Shi Jia’s mouth was still wide open with excitement, but then she suddenly remembered: “But we don’t have an invitation. How can we crash it?”
Liang Manqing: “Teacher Xia Jun has already arranged everything for us.”
Shi Jia tutted softly: “It’s my good fortune to have you all.”
Ten Best Entertainment had already finished decorating its own photography studio and was currently shooting the artists’ autumn promotional photos.
Shi Jia invited Liang Manqing up for an inspection, and Liang Manqing was casually looking around.
She heard Qin Qin calling for a younger colleague from the same company for help inside the changing room.
Liang Manqing knocked on the door. Qin Qin, thinking it was her younger colleague, opened it directly.
After Liang Manqing entered, Qin Qin quickly crossed her arms over her chest and turned her back: “Why is it you?”
Qin Qin was changing into the velvet dress needed for the next shoot. The dress was difficult to put on, and she had been struggling for a long time to tie the laces at the back by herself.
The light shone on the Omega’s back, which was as delicate as lamb fat—fair and sacred. The black dress made Qin Qin appear especially pure.
Liang Manqing’s dark eyes stared at Qin Qin, her breathing gradually becoming heated. She felt an urge to touch and ruin her.
Qin Qin knitted her delicate brows, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. She reached out to open the door and make Liang Manqing leave.
Liang Manqing took hold of her wrist: “I’ll help you.”
“I don’t need you.” Qin Qin turned around with her wrist held. The loose dress threatened to slip down, so she had to use one hand to hold it up.
“Don’t move. There’s no one outside to help you right now.” Liang Manqing used both hands to pull the dress laces taut. As she crisscrossed them to tie them tightly, her fingers occasionally brushed against Qin Qin’s skin on her back.
Qin Qin held her breath nervously.
Finally, having tied the last lace, Liang Manqing let go. She thought to herself, why did she go far and wide to seek cooperation with Yu Zhiting? There was clearly someone right beside her who was more suitable than Yu Zhiting.
Qin Qin finally let out a sigh of relief, turned around, and pushed her away: “Don’t stand so close to me.”
Liang Manqing remained still, bracing her hands against the wall, trapping the Omega in her arms, a smile playing on her lips: “Qin Qin, I just helped you.”
With the sudden closeness, Qin Qin’s back was pressed tightly against the wall, and she couldn’t help but flinch: “So what?”
Liang Manqing looked into her eyes: “So, you should do me a favor too.”
Qin Qin looked up warily: “What favor?”
“Don’t be nervous. It’s work-related. I’ll have Shi Jia give you the specific details.”
After speaking, Liang Manqing took a step back. Air flowed between the two, and Qin Qin felt a strange sense of loss in her heart.
Since it was about work, Qin Qin nodded: “Got it.”
The studio assistant came over to tell Qin Qin to come out once she was changed.
Qin Qin reached for the door, but Liang Manqing placed a hand on it, leaned in from behind, and whispered an instruction: “Don’t open the door for just anyone when you’re changing clothes in the future. Remember that?”
The Alpha pheromones pressed in aggressively, and Qin Qin faintly mumbled a “Mhm.”
After opening the door, Qin Qin quickly left. Her state during the shoot was slightly off. When it was over, her younger colleague stared at her cheek: “Your face is so red. Are you sick?”
Qin Qin tested the temperature of her cheek with her palm. It was really hot. Could it be because of Liang Manqing’s closeness that she reacted like this?
Seeing her state, the young colleague said concernedly: “You should go back and get some good rest tonight.”
Qin Qin: “Thank you, you too.”
By the time she managed to take off the dress, everyone from the company had left.
She wasn’t sure if it was the effort of taking off the dress, but Qin Qin’s legs felt weak, and her whole body was heating up.
As Qin Qin walked out of the Qianyi office building, a familiar figure was standing next to a black car nearby.
Liang Manqing was wearing a camel-colored trench coat with a beige dress underneath, her lightly curled long hair flowing loose.
Her aura was both sharp and gentle, emanating from within.
“Sister…” Qin Qin, feeling dizzy, couldn’t help but call her that. Immediately after, she stumbled into a secure, comforting embrace.
It seemed her heat had arrived early.
Liang Manqing caught Qin Qin, wrapping her arms around her waist, and asked uncertainly: “What did you just… call me?”
