After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 35
Liang Manqing was stunned when her tongue touched her finger. A sense of shame surfaced.
She had just uncontrollably wanted to taste Qin Qin.
Liang Manqing quickly wiped the moisture from her fingertips and headed to the study.
Just as she was about to open the door, she heard muffled sobbing coming from inside.
Liang Manqing paused and did not enter.
She remembered Liang Jinshan’s terrible attitude at the police station today. Liang Xue was having trouble accepting that her usually gentle father had been living a double life.
It was only when she confronted Liang Jinshan that day that Liang Xue finally saw his true colors.
Liang Manqing remembered something and carried out the box of silhouette drawings she had stored in her room.
Qin Qin heard the movement and poked her head out, asking: “Sister, what are you looking for?”
When Liang Manqing carried out the box of picture frames, Qin Qin seemed to remember the contents from the study that time, but she didn’t ask further.
When Liang Manqing entered the study, the sobbing immediately stopped. Liang Xue looked up, her eyes extremely red.
Liang Xue said haltingly: “Why didn’t you… knock before coming in?”
“I apologize, I momentarily forgot.” Liang Manqing stood by the door with the box and asked: “May I come in?”
Liang Xue, her eyes red, said: “When did you start asking for my permission? Come in.”
“Was I really that unreasonable before?” Liang Manqing knew Liang Xue was talking about the original host’s attitude toward her sister: “If you don’t like it, I will correct it in the future.”
Liang Xue rubbed her eyes: “You’re not just saying that to appease me, are you? You don’t need to pity me.”
Liang Manqing placed the box of silhouette portraits in front of Liang Xue, opened one of the frames, and took out a color photograph.
The woman in the photo was gentle and refined, looking knowledgeable and sensible. A slight smile curved her lips, making her look very warm.
Liang Manqing showed the photo to Liang Xue: “Take a look.”
Liang Xue looked at the woman in the photo, frowning slightly. A moment later, her brow relaxed, and she asked in surprise: “Is this Mom?”
Liang Manqing smiled and nodded gently.
This was a photo of her mother that the original host had kept.
It was the first time Liang Xue had seen what her mother looked like. Her young fingers gently stroked the photo. She was too excited to speak, alternating between crying and smiling.
Liang Manqing’s eyes were moist. She reached out and stroked Liang Xue’s head, offering silent comfort.
For nearly two weeks, the police had been investigating Liang Jinshan’s past misdeeds. It turned out the phoenix man (a man who marries into a wealthy family to gain status/wealth) had approached the original host’s mother with premeditation, and transferring assets had been his long-planned scheme.
Now that the truth was revealed, Liang Jinshan was locked up in a cell to repent.
When Liang Manqing took Liang Xue to visit Liang Jinshan, she saw that in just a few days, the previously glamorous Liang Jinshan was gone, replaced by a worn and haggard man.
Liang Xue held back her tears and said decisively: “I won’t come to see you again. Take care of yourself.”
Saying this to the father who once cared for her, Liang Xue must have felt immense pain.
Liang Jinshan’s expression instantly turned desperate: “Xiao Xue, Dad has always been so good to you. Dad never hurt you…”
“But you hurt Mom.” Liang Xue interrupted him, suddenly standing up. Wiping away her tears, she said: “But I won’t hate you, because you’re not even worthy of my hatred.”
After saying that, Liang Xue turned and ran out. Liang Jinshan called her name again and again behind her.
Liang Manqing: “Don’t call her. Let her be alone for a while.”
Liang Jinshan shed tears of remorse: “Manqing, do you hate Dad very much? Even though you never spoke about it all these years, I knew you hid everything in your heart.”
Liang Manqing let out a cold laugh: “So you knew everything.”
The original host had witnessed Liang Jinshan hurting her mother. Because she was young and dared not fight back, she grew up under Liang Jinshan’s suppression, which led to her rebellious personality.
Liang Jinshan knew all along.
“I failed the three of you—you and your mother and sister.” Liang Jinshan lowered his head: “I don’t expect your forgiveness, but can I please ask that you and Xiao Xue come to visit me sometimes?”
This was the only time Liang Jinshan felt fear. The cold of the iron bars was bone-chilling. The home he had was warm.
Liang Manqing didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
She wasn’t qualified to make a decision for the original host.
For two consecutive weeks, Liang Manqing was embedded at the Liang Group, working overtime. After the board was adjusted, the Liang Group lacked a leader, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
Liang Manqing worked diligently to hold the fort. All the accumulated business fell onto her, leaving her swamped.
Furthermore, corporate business was a completely unfamiliar territory for Liang Manqing. Two weeks was barely enough time to scratch the surface.
She knew she couldn’t rely solely on herself, so she asked the board to recommend a reliable professional manager, delegating some of the business to them.
However, Liang Manqing still needed to personally oversee the core functions.
After working overtime until ten, the professional manager, Manager Xue, closed his laptop and asked: “CEO Liang, do you want to grab something to eat before coming back to continue?”
Liang Manqing looked up from her computer: “You go ahead if you’re hungry. I’ll eat when I get home.”
Manager Xue smiled: “It seems the food at home is very tempting. I’ve been here for two weeks, and I’ve never seen you eat out.”
“…Mhm.” Liang Manqing suddenly realized that whenever she wasn’t working, she wanted to rush home.
Manager Xue picked up his phone: “Then, CEO Liang, I’ll go eat and come back.”
“No, it’s too late today. You should go home first.”
Liang Manqing rubbed her aching neck: “There’s too much work; we won’t finish it in a day.”
“That’s true.” Manager Xue joked: “If the salary wasn’t so high, I probably would have left already.”
Liang Manqing gave a wry smile: “Three people already quit before you, so I’m very grateful you stayed.”
Manager Xue gently nodded: “Don’t worry, I will do my utmost to help the Liang Group overcome these difficulties.”
Liang Manqing was thankful: “Thank you.”
After Manager Xue left, Liang Manqing worked overtime alone in the office. Soon, Qin Qin rushed over from the set, exhausted, and burrowed into Liang Manqing’s arms.
Liang Manqing was sitting in front of the computer, holding the soft Omega in her lap, and said helplessly: “You’re so tired. Why didn’t you go straight home?”
“I missed you! I haven’t seen you in twelve hours, and I haven’t smelled your scent in twelve hours.” Qin Qin wrapped her arms around Liang Manqing’s neck. Her cheek rested against her neck, inhaling the tequila scent until she felt a sense of reality.
Liang Manqing pinched her small nose: “You’re getting clingier and clingier.”
“I don’t know why, either. I just feel uneasy if I don’t smell Sister’s scent for even a moment.”
Qin Qin also felt she was getting too clingy, but she assumed it was just a normal Omega dependence on the Alpha.
Liang Manqing finished the rest of her work while holding her.
It was past eleven o’clock. Qin Qin’s stomach rumbled several times in her sleep.
Qin Qin half-opened her eyes and rubbed her stomach: “I’m a little hungry.”
Liang Manqing closed her laptop: “Did you skip dinner?”
“You know I have to manage my figure, so I can’t eat too much.” Qin Qin muttered: “But I eat so little, and my weight hasn’t dropped. Plus, I get hungry easily.”
Liang Manqing became anxious: “Besides that, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”
Qin Qin shook her head: “Not really.”
Liang Manqing immediately stood up: “I’m taking you to the hospital for a check-up.”
“Wait… no. I’m fine.” Qin Qin grabbed Liang Manqing’s hand: “I’m probably just tired. I’ll be fine after resting.”
Liang Manqing asked worriedly: “Really? Don’t endure it if you feel uncomfortable.”
“Really, I’m not uncomfortable.”
“Alright then.”
Liang Manqing led her by the hand into the elevator: “I asked Aunt Tao to prepare some low-fat, light food for you at home. You can eat it and then go to sleep.”
Qin Qin looped her arm through Liang Manqing’s and hummed: “I want to sleep with you.”
“No indulging tonight. It’s too late. Go home and rest well.”
Liang Manqing’s long fingers touched her lips and she smiled: “My tongue is still sore.”
“Ah… you’re annoying.” Qin Qin turned her back petulantly: “You were clearly having fun too. Why are you settling scores afterward?”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t happy. I was very happy and willing to serve you.” Liang Manqing coughed lightly: “It’s just that it was too much these past few days. I worry your body can’t take it.”
“But you promised me six times a week. It’s only been three times this week, and tomorrow is the weekend…” Qin Qin remembered every detail: “Sister, you’re breaking your promise.”
Liang Manqing silently swallowed: “Qin Qin, you remember that clearly?”
Qin Qin might not remember other things, but she remembered this matter better than anyone. She feigned a sigh: “Alas, it’s only the first week, and Sister already can’t keep her word. How can I trust you in the future?”
“Fine, I’ll keep my word, okay?” Liang Manqing pinched the soft skin on Qin Qin’s cheek and smiled: “I’ll make up for all the missed sessions tonight.”
Qin Qin smiled in satisfaction. She just didn’t expect Liang Manqing to actually follow through.
She suddenly regretted opening her mouth.
Qin Qin lay in bed after showering, and drowsiness washed over her.
Liang Manqing used her finger to prop open her eyes, not letting her sleep: “There’s still one more session. Don’t fall asleep.”
“No, I’m sleepy…” Qin Qin rolled over, her body tingling all over. She was comfortable now and just wanted a good night’s sleep.
Liang Manqing flipped over to face Qin Qin, looked at her sleeping face, and whispered a reminder: “Are you really sure you don’t want it? Don’t blame me when you wake up tomorrow.”
“Mhm…” Qin Qin drowsily raised her hand and touched Liang Manqing’s nose, wiping away the faint moisture at the tip of her nose.
Liang Manqing chuckled softly, licked her lips, and said: “But I intend to be a person of my word.”
The next day, the alarm clock rang continuously. Qin Qin struggled to wake up and turn off her phone alarm.
But as soon as she moved, someone tugged at her waist, pulling her back down.
Qin Qin realized Liang Manqing was sleeping by her waist, and it had been like that all night.
In the haze, Liang Manqing, whether awake or not, moved her head and leaned closer.
In that instant,
Qin Qin looked up, fiercely bit her index finger, and instinctively tugged at Liang Manqing’s hair with her right hand.
