After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 5

As an S-class Alpha, Liang Manqing steadily caught Qin Cen. The Omega was very light and didn’t weigh much; she could be held with just one hand.

However, the way she was hanging onto her was overly intimate. Qin Cen’s arm was hooked around Liang Manqing’s neck, and Liang Manqing’s lips brushed against Qin Cen’s beautiful collarbone, smudging off her lipstick.

Liang Manqing slightly raised her chin, clearly seeing the lipstick mark on Qin Cen’s collarbone. She unconsciously licked her lips; she hadn’t meant to do that.

“Ah…” Qin Cen let out another scream. This time, it wasn’t fear but embarrassment: “Liang Manqing, why did you follow me?”

Before Liang Manqing could speak, Qin Cen pushed her shoulders with both hands: “Put me down.”

“Miss Qin, you’re being a little unreasonable. You were the one who jumped on me,” Liang Manqing said, letting go of her hands, but Qin Cen was still securely clinging to her.

Qin Cen frowned slightly and put her feet on the ground. If it weren’t for the moth that flew straight at her when she opened the door, she wouldn’t have been scared enough to run out.

Liang Manqing looked around the room: “What happened just now?”

“Nothing happened.” Qin Cen would never admit that she was scared by a moth.

In her previous life, Qin Cen only wanted to work hard and move out of this mosquito-ridden rental room. After saving some money and moving out later, someone maliciously caused her to lose all her work, and she couldn’t even afford a rental room anymore.

Returning here, Qin Cen felt fear. She didn’t want to return to this place with only painful memories.

Liang Manqing noticed the tension in Qin Cen’s expression and stopped asking, walking instead to the room to check the situation.

Behind the iron gate was a dilapidated residential building where water and electricity supply were likely difficult.

Qin Cen’s room was on the first floor. As she approached, there was a damp smell of a place that never saw sunlight.

Liang Manqing stood at the door and asked: “Miss Qin, do you live here?”

As soon as she spoke, a flapping moth rushed towards them. Liang Manqing reacted by turning her head to dodge it.

Liang Manqing looked at Qin Cen: “So you were scared by a moth just now?”

Qin Cen cleared her throat: “I was not scared. It was just a mere insect.”

At this time, there were occasional residents returning from a walk on the stairwell. Qin Cen opened the door and went in: “Nothing is wrong, you should go back now.”

The book mentioned that Qin Cen was most afraid of bugs, so much so that even after blackening, she would still be scared by a bug.

Liang Manqing felt a pang of sadness. If it weren’t for the male lead Jiang Hejing being too much, how could an Omega who was even afraid of bugs blacken?

“Wait a moment.” Liang Manqing rolled up her sleeves and walked in: “I’ll help you get rid of the bugs first.”

“No need… Ah!” Qin Cen had just refused when the moth flew past her eyes, its wings making a buzzing sound.

Qin Cen hated that sound the most.

Liang Manqing smiled and said: “Miss Qin, please wait outside.”

Qin Cen didn’t want to argue anymore and stood aside at the door, watching Liang Manqing seriously catching the moth in the room.

Liang Manqing seemed quite skilled at catching moths. In just a few moves, she caught the moth, pinching its wings.

“Miss Qin, I got it.” Liang Manqing walked over: “See, it’s actually not that scary.”

“Don’t look.” Qin Cen stepped away: “Hurry up and throw it away.”

Moth wings are fragile. Liang Manqing walked into the yard and tossed it casually, a cluster of white powder staining her fingertips.

Qin Cen turned on the faucet: “There’s water in the yard. Wash your hands.”

“Thank you.” Liang Manqing washed her hands and looked around.

It was a humid September day.

A sycamore tree in the yard blocked out the starry sky.

The environment of the old residential building was poor. High temperatures meant more mosquitoes and bugs. Living on the first floor made it even worse.

Liang Manqing muttered: “This place should be torn down.”

Qin Cen pulled out a tissue: “Wipe your hands.”

Liang Manqing took it, gently wiping her fingers, then looked up at Qin Cen, her gaze slowly moving downward.

“Miss Qin, you should wipe here too.” Liang Manqing’s long fingers touched her own collarbone to indicate.

Qin Cen subconsciously lowered her eyes, rubbing the red mark on her collarbone with her fingertip, then suddenly remembered: “Is this not your…?”

Liang Manqing hesitated for a moment: “It’s my lip print.”

“Liang Manqing!” Qin Cen pulled out a tissue and vigorously wiped her collarbone. Her fair, delicate skin turned redder with the rubbing.

“Alright, alright, it’s gone.” Liang Manqing grabbed Qin Cen’s wrist and said: “If you wipe any more, you’ll break the skin.”

Qin Cen pulled her hand away from Liang Manqing, threw the crumpled tissue at her face, and turned back into the room in anger.

The light tissue floated and hit her eye corner. Liang Manqing closed her eyes and sighed softly. She didn’t mean to do it.

The Thousand Billion Office Building was successfully transferred, and Liang Manqing was busy establishing her studio. She could directly use her work experience from the original world, and she could even leverage the Liang family’s background to expand it further.

The Liang family had been in business for generations. Liang Jinshan was supposed to hand over the family business to Liang Manqing in the future. Who knew that the previous Liang Manqing was idle, and now she actually wanted to establish a studio herself?

Liang Manqing asked for a starting capital of twenty million yuan. Liang Jinshan slammed the table: “What do you take your dad for?”

“Dad, I’m not asking for this money for free. Consider it an investment. I’ll return it to you with interest when the time comes.” Liang Manqing’s words were sincere. If the original owner hadn’t had absolutely no private savings, she wouldn’t have had to ask Liang Jinshan for money.

Liang Jinshan’s expression was serious: “The Liang Group will be handed over to you to manage in the future. Starting tomorrow, you will join the company to follow and learn.”

Liang Manqing was uninterested: “Liang Xue can handle the company affairs later. Didn’t she say she was going to study finance?”

“Don’t mention Liang Xue to me.” Speaking of Liang Xue made Liang Jinshan even angrier: “The teacher just called me to say she skipped class again.”

Liang Xue was Liang Manqing’s younger sister, spoiled since childhood. However, she had said since she was little that she would inherit the Liang Group when she grew up. Handing the company over to her would be most fitting.

Liang Manqing thought for a moment: “Dad, if I can make my sister study hard and inherit the Liang Group in the future, can you give me twenty million?”

Liang Jinshan was frustrated by her poor behavior: “Don’t say twenty million, two hundred million is fine.”

Liang Manqing laughed: “Deal! Two hundred million it is!”

Liang Jinshan paused while drinking his tea, looked at Liang Manqing’s successful smile, and shook his head: “I’ve been tricked by you.”

With Liang Manqing’s ability, it wasn’t hard to get investment for her studio. The difficult part was giving up the inheritance rights to the Liang Group, as she wasn’t interested in business.

The Thousand Billion Office Building had thirty-six floors. Liang Manqing instructed her assistant, Qian Haiye, to post a rental advertisement first, rent out the building, and collect three months’ rent as the studio’s start-up capital.

Qian Haiye agreed: “Yes, I’ll get right on it.”

Liang Manqing: “Wait a moment. Also, find a private tutor for Liang Xue. The sooner, the better.”

Qian Haiye was efficient and handled things properly. The task was done in less than fifteen minutes, and countless people applied for the private tutor position.

Liang Manqing rubbed her temples: “None of them satisfy me.”

As evening approached, Liang Manqing stood in the empty office building, looking down, and noticed a familiar figure downstairs.

Qian Haiye’s phone rang: “Miss Liang, someone applied. Complete postgraduate certification. Do you still want to interview?”

Liang Manqing was tired: “The last one.”

The glass door of the studio was pushed open. Liang Manqing turned around and saw the person, slightly surprised: “Miss Qin?”

Qin Cen paused: “Why are you here?”

Liang Manqing poured her a cup of tea: “This building is mine. Did you forget?”

Qin Cen remembered: “Is the studio you opened a tutoring center?”

Liang Manqing choked slightly: “How could I open a tutoring center? I’m looking for a private tutor for my sister.”

Qin Cen put down the teacup and said: “Then I won’t disturb you. I’ll be leaving now.”

“Miss Qin, would you consider being my sister’s private tutor?” Liang Manqing blocked Qin Cen’s path: “The hourly wage is two thousand, paid daily.”

Qin Cen had intended to decline, but two thousand per hour was genuinely hard to refuse.

Liang Manqing could also guess that the entertainment company Qin Cen was contracted with was inactive and rarely arranged work for her. She needed money, which was why she applied to be a private tutor.

Liang Manqing sighed softly, wondering if she should sell the office building and give the money to Qin Cen for her contract termination fee. She didn’t know if Qin Cen would accept it.

Given Qin Cen’s personality in the book, she wouldn’t accept help from others without reason. Liang Manqing thought for a moment and decided that proceeding gradually would be safer.

Qin Cen lightly bit her lip and didn’t speak. Liang Manqing thought she found the pay too low and continued to increase it: “Three thousand?”

Qin Cen looked up: “When does the work start?”

Liang Manqing curved her lips: “Tonight. We’ll pick up Liang Xue from school together in a moment.”

Qin Cen nodded. She hadn’t expected Liang Manqing to help her, and she genuinely needed the money badly since she didn’t have a job right now.

Liang Manqing briefly explained Liang Xue’s situation while driving: “Liang Xue is seventeen this year, studying in the third year of high school at C City High School. She’s been quite rebellious in the past two years, often skipping classes. I was worried she’d fall behind, so I found her a private tutor.”

Qin Cen listened, nodding softly, without much response.

Liang Manqing glanced at her sideways: “Miss Qin, do you have a problem with me?”

Qin Cen bit her lip and muttered: “How could I not have a problem?”

The car fell silent for a moment. Liang Manqing heard Qin Cen’s muttering and said softly: “You should have a problem with me, Miss Qin. Feel free to tell me anytime if you need my help.”

Qin Cen turned her gaze back.

Liang Manqing stopped the car and said sincerely: “I mean, I’m willing to be your medicine.”

Qin Cen’s pheromone condition had become difficult to treat. It would be hard for her to get through her monthly heat periods.

Dr. Xu had specifically instructed her to ask Liang Manqing for help during her next heat period.

Qin Cen lightly coughed, changing the subject: “Are we at the school yet?”

Qin Cen didn’t explicitly accept but didn’t refuse either. Liang Manqing took note of her reaction and smiled: “We’re here. Class just ended.”

C City High School didn’t have evening study. Liang Xue would run off after school in the evening and wouldn’t return until the next morning.

Liang Manqing stood in front of the school and instantly spotted Liang Xue in unusual clothes not far away.

Liang Manqing quickly walked over to block Liang Xue’s path: “Walking so fast, where are you going?”

Liang Xue hadn’t been paying attention and bumped into someone. She looked up and saw it was Liang Manqing, saying awkwardly: “Why are you here?”

Liang Manqing looked at the thick foundation on her face, saying with disgust: “To take you home.”

Liang Xue rolled her eyes: “I’m not going back. I’ve already made plans with my friends. Don’t block my way.”

Liang Manqing was pushed away by Liang Xue. Liang Manqing got angry and grabbed her flailing ponytail.

Liang Xue grimaced in pain: “Liang Manqing, let go! What right do you have to control me!”

“Liang Manqing, let go.” Qin Cen rescued Liang Xue from Liang Manqing’s grasp: “If you’re so violent, your sister won’t listen to you.”

Liang Manqing’s hand felt empty. She gently clenched her fist. With such a rebellious sister, she had no choice but to be violent.

Liang Xue hid behind Qin Cen, rubbing her aching scalp: “You ruined the hairstyle I just did!”

Liang Manqing glared at Liang Xue: “Get in the car quickly. Come back with me.”

Liang Xue was furious: “You’ve never cared about me before. What medicine did you take today?”

Liang Manqing couldn’t be bothered with nonsense. She grabbed the back of Liang Xue’s neck and stuffed her into the car.

When Liang Xue tried to run again, Liang Manqing’s glare sent her back.

As the car drove towards the Liang residence, Liang Xue leaned on the seat and asked Qin Cen: “May I ask who you are?”

Before Qin Cen could speak, Liang Manqing said: “She’s your tutor, Teacher Qin. From now on, your evenings will be spent studying.”

Liang Xue wailed, then sensed something was off: “Teacher Qin, what is your relationship with Liang Manqing?”

Qin Cen shook her head: “No relationship.”

“Is that so?” Liang Xue teased: “Teacher Qin, is the hickey on your collarbone from my sister?”
