After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 32

The skin on Liang Manqing’s leg warmed instantly, and a deep mark was left.

The location of the mark was very hidden, almost in the triangle area.

Liang Manqing lifted Qin Qin’s chin with her hand, gazing at her: “In the future, it would be better if I were the one doing the marking.”

“Sister, don’t you like this?” Qin Qin let go of Liang Manqing’s hand, a hint of grievance in her tone. She thought Liang Manqing enjoyed it.

Noticing the shift in Qin Qin’s mood, Liang Manqing explained: “It’s not that I dislike it…”

“Then why?” Qin Qin stood up, holding the two bottles of body lotion, and stated directly what was on her mind: “Is it because of the ‘white moonlight’ in your heart that you don’t want my marks on your body?”

“Of course not.” Liang Manqing sighed: “Fine, you can do whatever you want.”

If Qin Qin hadn’t brought up the ‘white moonlight’ today, Liang Manqing would have almost forgotten the substitute plotline. She truly didn’t want Qin Qin to waste too much effort on her.

After hearing Liang Manqing’s explanation, Qin Qin turned and walked out of the study.

Liang Manqing felt a little confused and unsettled. Had she upset Qin Qin?

The System instantly popped into her mind: [Host, it seems the supporting female character has completely fallen for you. Why don’t you seize this opportunity to emotionally and physically abuse the supporting female character? Once you complete the plot, you can return to your original world.]

Liang Manqing leaned back in her chair. She was not a native of this world, but now a thought of not wanting to go back suddenly surfaced.

The thought was only fleeting. She still had to go back.

Just as Liang Manqing sat up, her foot hit a picture frame. The frame fell, smashing on the floor, and the glass broke.

When Liang Manqing picked up the frame, the silhouette portrait inside fell out, drifting onto the floor, face down.

When she got closer, she saw a line of tiny writing on the back of the portrait.

“I will make the person who hurt my mother pay the price.”

When Liang Manqing read the small line of text, cold sweat broke out on her back, and her head began to throb.

Liang Manqing endured the pain and carefully opened the rest of the silhouette portraits. There was a small line of text behind each one. The last one had scrawled, crooked handwriting that looked like it was written by a child. Could it be that the original host wrote this when she was little?

“Liang Jinshan, B City Jinrong Sanatorium, Aunt Tao…”

Liang Manqing sat on the floor, piecing together a guess in her mind: Could the original host’s mother’s disappearance be related to Liang Jinshan and Aunt Tao?

No way. Aunt Tao seems so kind…

If it really was related to Liang Jinshan, then Liang Manqing was incredibly dense. She hadn’t even wondered why the original host had a bad relationship with her father and yet called Liang Jinshan ‘Dad.’

Liang Jinshan hadn’t been home for a long time and hadn’t called the family. If he truly cared about his family, he wouldn’t neglect the two girls.

Liang Manqing felt a little ridiculous that she was only noticing this now.

Liang Manqing heard footsteps outside. She quickly gathered the box of drawings and waited until the person left before quietly taking the drawings to her room.

When Liang Manqing got up early the next morning and went downstairs for breakfast, Qin Qin wasn’t there.

Aunt Tao said: “She said she had an early scene and left already.”

Liang Manqing nodded: “Aunt Tao, you don’t need to bother. I’ll clean up after myself when I’m done eating.”

“That’s good, Manqing. I have something to go out for today. Is it alright if you eat out for the next couple of days?” Aunt Tao said, putting on her bag, preparing to leave.

Liang Manqing suddenly remembered that Aunt Tao seemed to take a long trip once a month.

“Aunt Tao, where are you going? I’ll have the driver take you.”

Aunt Tao quickly declined: “It’s a bit far. No need to send me. I’ll be back in a couple of days.”

Liang Manqing kept her gaze on Aunt Tao for a few extra seconds, then hummed: “Then please be careful on your trip, Aunt Tao.”

As soon as Aunt Tao left, Liang Manqing instructed Qian Haiye to follow her and report her real-time location.

Liang Manqing’s intuition told her that Aunt Tao’s tense expression was suspicious.

All morning, Liang Manqing’s studio had numerous visitors, all of whom came to discuss potential collaborations with her.

After politely declining five consecutive potential partners, Liang Manqing was nearly speechless from exhaustion: “When does the new brand manager start?”

Her assistant quickly replied: “Starting next Monday.”

Tomorrow was the weekend, so that was soon.

Liang Manqing looked at the time: “Let’s go eat. It’s already noon.”

The little assistant: “CEO Liang, what would you like to eat? I’ll order something for you.”

“No need. I have a lunch date today.”

Liang Manqing took her phone and left the office. The little assistant remained, daydreaming, silently thinking how wonderful CEO Liang’s aura was and how charming she was even when working seriously.

She got Qin Qin’s schedule from Shi Jia. Qin Qin was doing a commercial shoot near the Qianyi office building at noon today.

Liang Manqing bought two meals and some coffee. When she arrived, Qin Qin was taking a break.

The staff were all eating boxed lunches. Someone handed a staff meal to Qin Qin, but she took it and set it aside without eating.

Liang Manqing sat in a nearby chair: “Why aren’t you eating?”

A faint smile flashed in Qin Qin’s eyes when she saw who it was, but she immediately replied sullenly: “Why are you here?”

“I just finished work and came to check on you.” Liang Manqing opened a lunch box. It was a light, low-fat meal: “Eat something. You still have work later. You can’t work without eating.”

Staff meals were usually oily. Qin Qin had to control her weight and couldn’t eat them. She hadn’t planned on eating anything, but Liang Manqing’s low-fat meal looked appetizing, and her stomach started to growl.

Qin Qin reached out and took the low-fat meal, deciding to eat just a little.

Qin Qin was wearing makeup and had just reapplied her lipstick. She ate in small, careful bites, like a kitten. After eating a little, she stopped.

A large portion of the meal was left. Liang Manqing watched Qin Qin reapply her makeup and asked: “Are you full?”

Qin Qin slightly frowned: “I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Are you still mad about last night? You didn’t even wait for me this morning.” Liang Manqing leaned in, looking at Qin Qin’s profile. When the Omega was angry, her cheeks puffed out slightly, showing she hadn’t calmed down yet.

“You and I have no relation. Why should I wait for you?” Qin Qin pushed Liang Manqing’s face away: “I’m just a substitute, after all.”

Oh no.

Was not letting Qin Qin leave a mark on her really that hurtful?

Or was Qin Qin leaving a mark on her body a way to draw them closer?

Liang Manqing took a tissue from her pocket, helping Qin Qin wipe away the excess salad dressing at the corner of her lips. Qin Qin tried to turn her face away, but Liang Manqing gently pinched her chin.

Qin Qin glared at her.

Liang Manqing softly chuckled: “You still say you’re not angry.”

“I really wasn’t…”

Qin Qin’s voice lacked conviction. She suddenly felt very childish. She was only upset all night because Liang Manqing wouldn’t let her leave a mark, and now she was deliberately giving Liang Manqing attitude.

She was the one who wanted to become the true partner from the position of a substitute. She felt she had no right to be angry.

Liang Manqing rubbed the lingering dressing from the corner of Qin Qin’s lips with her thumb and extended her fair arm: “You can bite me here, alright? Please don’t be angry.”

Qin Qin curved her lips into a smile: “Sister, I’m wearing makeup on my lips right now. It’s not convenient.”

Qin Qin still had filming to do later. Smudging her lipstick wouldn’t be good.

Liang Manqing lightly rubbed Qin Qin’s cheek: “Then bite me when we get home.”

The days of being a substitute always left Qin Qin feeling insecure.

Qin Qin held Liang Manqing’s hand and rubbed it in her palm: “Sister, you’ve smudged my makeup.”

Rest time was soon over. Qin Qin went back to work, and Liang Manqing waited nearby.

During this time, she received a call from Qian Haiye: “CEO Liang, Aunt Tao has indeed arrived at the Jinrong Sanatorium in B City.”

Liang Manqing: “Did you find out who Aunt Tao went to see?”

Qian Haiye: “It seems to be someone who used to work at the Liang house with Aunt Tao.”

Liang Manqing pondered: “Understood. Keep watching and call me anytime something happens.”

Qian Haiye: “Understood, CEO Liang.”

Shi Jia had secured many brand commercials for Qin Qin. Qin Qin spent the whole week working non-stop, only returning home to sleep exhausted in her room.

Liang Manqing would leave meals for Qin Qin, and when she woke up, she would go downstairs to warm up the food for her.

Qin Qin came downstairs with sleepy eyes, her face full of fatigue. Her hair was messy, fluffy, and soft.

Liang Manqing put a bowl of millet porridge on the dining table: “Are you hungry?”

“Mhm…” Qin Qin took a sip of the congee and sighed contentedly: “It’s delicious. I’ve been eating only salads lately. I haven’t had carbs in ages.”

Liang Manqing: “You’re so thin. Eat more and stop dieting.”

Qin Qin shook her head: “No, the camera adds ten pounds. If I don’t diet, do you know how ugly I look on screen?”

Liang Manqing said very seriously: “Does the word ‘ugly’ have anything to do with you?”

Qin Qin laughed: “Sister, why are your words so sweet today? You’re praising me for being thin and beautiful.”

Liang Manqing smiled in response: “Haven’t I praised you before?”

Qin Qin slightly tilted her chin up and shook her head, like a kitten seeking attention.

Liang Manqing reached out and stroked her chin, teasing her: “I’m going on a business trip for a few days tomorrow. You can call me if anything happens.”

“Business trip?” Qin Qin swallowed the millet congee and asked: “Has your studio’s business expanded that much?”

Liang Manqing nodded casually: “Mhm, I’ve indeed taken on a lot of out-of-town collaborations recently.”

The Omega finished her congee and hooked her finger at Liang Manqing: “Sister, you’ll be traveling so much. What will happen if the mark on your body disappears?”

Liang Manqing laughed in exasperation: “That’s the first thing you think of?”

“What else?” Qin Qin blinked innocently: “I’ve been leaving very light marks these past few days. They disappear quickly, sometimes not even lasting a full day.”

Liang Manqing smiled wryly, unable to comment.

Ever since Liang Manqing agreed to let Qin Qin leave marks freely, Qin Qin had been sucking marks onto her back, shoulders, abdomen, and thighs, making sure it was a different spot every day.

Qin Qin quickly washed the dishes and pulled Liang Manqing upstairs, pushing her into the room: “Sister, hurry up and shower. I need to leave a mark once you’re done.”

“Why are you in such a rush?” Liang Manqing asked: “I don’t want to shower right now.”

“No, I’m tired and sleepy today. I need to sleep right after I’m done.” Qin Qin selected Liang Manqing’s change of clothes from the closet and thrust them into her arms.

Liang Manqing was pushed into the bathroom by Qin Qin. Just before the bathroom door closed, she casually asked: “Where are you going to leave the mark today?”

Qin Qin’s eyes scanned Liang Manqing’s body, pausing just below her waist: “Right on your buttocks…”

Liang Manqing was instantly shocked. She tried to turn and step out, but Qin Qin quickly closed the bathroom door: “Sister, hurry up and wash, okay?”

Liang Manqing: “…”
