After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Sweetly Pampered the Substitute Omega - Chapter 18

After the date came endless work.

By the time Qin Ying put down the last document, the streetlights outside the window had already lit up.

She lazily leaned back in her office chair. Even those eyes that were always bright and lively were now filled with exhaustion.

“I wonder if Luo Ranjia has gotten off work yet.”

Thinking of her beloved, who had recently been leaving early and returning late, even busier than herself, Qin Ying only felt that her plan to pursue her would have to be delayed by more than just a little.

Dragging her feet, Qin Ying stood up and walked into her small rest room. The person in the mirror was still as beautiful as ever, but Qin Ying was somewhat dissatisfied.

She was preparing to pick up her beloved from work.

She touched up her lipstick, fixed her hair, and changed out of her overly formal work clothes, switching into a green long dress.

The cotton-linen fabric wrapped around her shapely figure. The irregular hem was decorated with two layers of white gauze trim, making the traces of busyness fade from her eyes. Qin Ying’s whole person returned to a comfortable casual style.

After telling the driver to go back early, Qin Ying held the steering wheel with both hands. The night wind blew through the window, carrying away the day’s worries.

However, Qin Ying’s good mood ended there.

“Ranjia, clearly we were the ones who met first. If Qin Ying hadn’t taken advantage of your vulnerable moment, we’d be the ones together now.”

The Alpha’s words were loud and forceful, echoing throughout the entire parking lot as if she were afraid no one would hear.

Qin Ying’s heart tightened. She turned her head and looked over, only to see a woman in dark jeans blocking Luo Ranjia’s car door.

The figure with her back to Qin Ying was so familiar. The suit that Qin Ying had secretly asked a tailor to make into a couple’s outfit outlined a slender figure. Clearly, Luo Ranjia’s recent overtime had made the body she had only just nourished back to health grow thinner again.

Qin Ying directly got out of the car and slammed the door shut with a bang.

The obvious sound startled both of them.

Luo Ranjia looked over with icy eyes. The moment her gaze touched Qin Ying, she froze slightly, then hesitantly wanted to walk toward her.

But she was blocked by the Alpha.

The forceful pheromones gave Luo Ranjia the illusion of suffocation. Those memories she had deliberately forgotten surged up at this moment, until the familiar scent of green grass wrapped around her.

“Yu Shu, are you looking to die?”

Qin Ying quickly walked toward Luo Ranjia and protected her behind herself, her gaze sharp as she looked at this woman recklessly releasing pheromones.

“I’m looking to die?”

Yu Shu knew Qin Ying had changed quite a bit, but she had not expected this person to become so arrogant too.

“Qin Ying, I know exactly what kind of person you are. You like Luo Ranjia, so why can’t I like her too?”

Her identity as an illegitimate daughter had taken her from the slums to the prosperous aristocratic families of C City overnight. Her proud yet insecure personality had made her very happy to watch Qin Ying make a fool of herself in the past.

In her view, even if Qin Ying changed, it was only because she had been forced by the possibility of being expelled from the Qin family. Deep down, Qin Ying should still be useless.

Qin Ying crossed her arms. Her aura fully opened, and her cold, beautiful eyes looked at Yu Shu with disdain, as if she were looking at roadside garbage.

“Yu Shu, whether in the past or now, you can’t change the lowliness in your bones. And someone like you doesn’t deserve to mention the word ‘like’ in front of Ranjia at all.”

After arriving in C City, the words Yu Shu hated hearing most were “lowly.”

“You’re the Qin family’s Second Miss, so of course you don’t know what kind of life I used to live. You look down on me. Do you dare look down on all poor people?”

Yu Shu roared at Qin Ying with a ferocious expression, as if she were some ambitious young person who had suffered countless humiliations.

Another person who blamed every problem on poverty.

Qin Ying felt that her dress today was too casual. If she had known she would run into this thing, she would have worn a suit.

“Yu Shu, what I’ve always looked down on is your character. It has nothing to do with whether you’re poor or not.”

Qin Ying recalled for a moment and discovered that after Yu Shu became rich, she had indeed done quite a few immoral things.

“After you came to C City, weren’t you the one who directly cut off all contact with your old friends and deleted every group photo you had with them?”

“Weren’t you the one who looked down on students working part-time in restaurants and deliberately nitpicked so you could file complaints against them?”

“As an Alpha, weren’t you the one who used your aura to suppress someone else’s wife?”

“Yu Shu, I didn’t know you when you were poor. Now you have money, but not a single thing you’ve done is worthy of my respect.”

Yu Shu had originally wanted to record this part to ruin Qin Ying’s reputation and attack the Qin family at the same time. Who would have thought that this person, who used to become impulsive whenever she was provoked, had become so rational?

Qin Ying did not care what Yu Shu was thinking. She turned her head and raised her brows at Luo Ranjia.

How was that? Did she feel that Qin Ying had both beauty and wisdom?

She successfully received a barely noticeable eye roll from Luo Ranjia.

Tsk. Even her beloved looked beautiful rolling her eyes.

Seeing the two of them flirting with their eyes right in front of her, Yu Shu’s gloom seemed as though it could drip water.

“Qin Ying, what kind of good Omega do you think Luo Ranjia is? Back when she managed the Luo Corporation years ago, some people said she was sinister, cunning, and dictatorial. More than that, with an Omega in power, do you really think she’s clean?”

Qin Ying, who had still been showing off to Luo Ranjia, frowned.

Some people were like this. If they could not do something themselves, they believed others could not do it either. If others managed it, then they assumed that person must have taken a shortcut.

Just like in Qin Ying’s previous world. They were clearly all successful people, but just because the person’s gender was female, people would fabricate unspeakable stories about her.

When a man successfully secured a cooperation, it was because of ability.

When a woman successfully secured a cooperation, it had to be because of beauty.

This kind of prejudice still existed in the world of this book.

Qin Ying looked at the disheveled Yu Shu. Her red lips opened and closed, but the words she spoke were sharp enough to hurt.

“To be able to enter the Yu family company, you must have sacrificed quite a bit of your beauty too. Otherwise, how would you know so much about this kind of thing?”

Qin Ying was not speaking nonsense. Yu Shu had fawned over quite a few Omegas and used that to fight for benefits for herself. Luo Ranshi was one of them, and now she had set her sights on Luo Ranjia.

“Ranjia’s ability was acknowledged by my grandmother. Besides, you should know that our family has always only looked at strength.”

Qin Ying looked at Yu Shu with disdain.

“If it weren’t because your attentiveness was rejected by Ranjia, would you be saying these things?”

A fist shot straight toward Qin Ying’s eyes. Yu Shu had flown into a rage out of humiliation.

Qin Ying’s slender fingers gripped Yu Shu’s wrist, then lightly twisted it backward. With a crack, the owner of the fist’s arm was dislocated.

“Remember this.”

Qin Ying lowered her head slightly, her gaze level with Yu Shu’s.

“Luo Ranjia’s control of the Luo Corporation is perfectly justified, and her strength is obvious to everyone. A gutter rat like you is only fit to live in self-pity.”

Looking at the unwillingness in Yu Shu’s eyes, Qin Ying could only say that once some people’s minds became twisted, they always imagined others in the darkest way possible.

“Right now, you can’t even compare to me, this useless waste.”

To someone like Yu Shu, nothing stabbed deeper than the fact that the joke in her eyes had now turned around and was treating her as a joke.

“Qin Ying, one day, you’ll be as helpless and homeless as a stray dog.”

Yu Shu had originally only wanted to plant a thorn in Qin Ying and Luo Ranjia’s hearts that could never heal. However, when she saw Qin Ying looking so triumphant, she could not help feeling unwilling.

Why? Why could Qin Ying, who was rotten to the bone, obtain Luo Ranjia’s love, while she, who had carefully loved from afar, could only receive indifference?

So they definitely would not have a good ending!

The madness in Yu Shu’s eyes made Qin Ying shield Luo Ranjia completely behind herself. She felt somewhat uneasy.

Watching Yu Shu being taken away by the belated security guards, the parking lot became quiet again.

“Let’s assign you a few bodyguards.”

Qin Ying naturally reached out and helped Luo Ranjia tidy her hair.

“All right.”

Luo Ranjia obediently agreed. Her face was somewhat pale.

Qin Ying thought of the aftereffects of the banned drug, then thought of Yu Shu, this Alpha, and could not help worrying.

“How do you feel right now?”

Luo Ranjia weakly shook her head. She wanted to say she was fine, only to realize that her whole body had no strength.

Qin Ying caught Luo Ranjia by the waist. If an Omega’s pheromones spread in public, the consequences would be very serious.

After getting both of them into the car and shutting them inside, Qin Ying directly sent the family doctor their location.

“Inhibitor. In the little box in front.”

Luo Ranjia looked pained. The space inside the car was too small, and the pheromones stimulated Qin Ying especially strongly.

“I’m not using an inhibitor.”

The two of them sat side by side in the back seat, completely unable to pull apart any distance.

Qin Ying controlled her own pheromones, treating this as another round of treatment.

Luo Ranjia’s body could not use inhibitors at all, and once Qin Ying used an inhibitor, she would be unable to soothe Luo Ranjia for a short period of time.

In the narrow space, their senses seemed to be infinitely magnified. Every heartbeat, every breath, reminded them both of how dangerous the atmosphere was.

Luo Ranjia’s condition this time was not the same as the previous treatment.

Looking at Luo Ranjia beneath the dim light, her eyes wet and glistening, Qin Ying gently pulled her into her arms and pressed Luo Ranjia’s head against her shoulder.

“Don’t look at me. I still have to stay clear-headed.”

When those indifferent eyes became filled with dependence and trust, Qin Ying felt as if her entire body had begun to burn.

The stimulation brought by the pheromones, along with the joy her heart gained from this, made Qin Ying experience a feeling she had never felt before.

Her great beauty had finally learned to trust her.

What a sweet burden.

On her shoulder, the exposed skin was suddenly touched by soft lips. Uncontrolled breaths brushed against Qin Ying’s neck, making her body tremble slightly by reflex.

“If you do this, you’ll regret it once you’re sober.”

The familiar pear blossom fragrance challenged Qin Ying’s reason. Luo Ranjia’s unconscious closeness made her nearly go mad.

Luo Ranjia was not satisfied with just that small territory of Qin Ying’s shoulder. One of her hands broke free from Qin Ying’s restraint and followed Qin Ying’s collar to her fair back.

The casual-style clothing gave Luo Ranjia enough room. Her palm spread open and pressed tightly against Qin Ying’s skin, slowly exploring in another direction.

“Luo. Ran. Jia!”

Qin Ying had no choice but to loosen one hand to stop her, but she forgot just how clingy an Omega controlled by pheromones could be.

She saw Luo Ranjia raise her head and stare fixedly at her.

The next second, Luo Ranjia kissed her directly.
