After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Sweetly Pampered the Substitute Omega - Chapter 2
“That wasn’t what I truly meant. You’re my wife. Even if our relationship isn’t that good, you still represent the Qin family’s reputation.”
Qin Ying lifted the long hair by her ear and tucked it neatly behind it. She met Luo Ranjia’s gaze. Those eyes, which had always been filled with desire and cruelty in the past, had become gentle and sincere after changing souls.
“You know that if I really did something like that, Grandma would probably beat me to death.”
Qin Ying’s grandmother was an elderly woman with very strict rules. It was precisely because of this elder’s existence that even though the original scumbag Alpha had a rotten character, she still did not dare act too recklessly.
But that was not enough to make Luo Ranjia believe her. She shifted her gaze and stared blankly at the ceiling. All she knew was that Qin Ying’s evil had no bottom line.
Qin Ying felt that Luo Ranjia at this moment was like a piece of glass already suspended in midair, with the fate of shattering right before her eyes. At a time like this, no matter what was said, the glass would never believe that the person who caused all this would suddenly change her mind and catch it.
Silence spread between the two of them. Qin Ying moved the corners of her lips, then looked at the woman’s extremely pale side profile. In the end, she said nothing. She walked out of the room and dialed the family doctor’s number.
“My wife is injured. Come to the villa in the west of the city immediately.”
The family doctor immediately understood what was going on when she heard Qin Ying say that.
This Second Miss of the Qin family was truly vicious. Such a beautiful wife was tormented by her every day until her body was covered in wounds. Every few days, the doctor had to make a trip there.
But she was only a doctor, with little influence and little say. She could do nothing. She could only hope that this Second Miss might one day change her temper.
Thinking of this, the doctor shook her head.
This Second Miss of the Qin family probably could not be changed.
Just as the doctor was about to hang up, Qin Ying’s voice came from the other side again.
“She was also given a drug that stimulates the body and forces an early heat.”
The doctor froze and nearly cursed out loud. That was a banned drug. It could very well be fatal! But she still had no choice but to suppress her anger and ask,
“Second Miss, is there anything else you need to tell me?”
Qin Ying leaned against the wall. Her long dress hung loosely on her body, but its owner had no mind to care about that for now. Thinking of the shadow the scumbag Alpha had left on Luo Ranjia, Qin Ying hesitated slightly before continuing,
“Remember this: I’m an Alpha incapable of marking.”
Ignoring the doctor’s shock, Qin Ying hung up the phone and dragged her exhausted body into the kitchen.
Probably because the original owner did not want too many people discovering her violent acts, servants only came to clean this villa every Saturday. On normal days, all three meals were prepared by Luo Ranjia under the scumbag Alpha’s orders. And the scumbag Alpha often beat and scolded Luo Ranjia on the grounds that the food did not suit her taste.
While boiling a cup of hot water, Qin Ying sorted through the beastly things the scumbag Alpha had done in this villa and could not help sighing. Only when the brief words turned into detailed images did she understand why Luo Ranjia had become like this.
If it had been her, she would probably have dragged the scumbag Alpha down to hell with her long ago.
Then she thought of the scumbag Alpha’s ending in the original novel. Compared with the suffering Luo Ranjia had endured, Qin Ying felt that the scumbag Alpha’s death had been far too lightly brushed over.
However, what was Luo Ranjia’s ending again?
Qin Ying raised her head. Her gaze focused on empty space, her mind wandering. A passage of text appeared in her mind.
The heavy snow covered the city in silver. The once-arrogant Second Miss of the Qin family could not even fight a roadside vagrant for warm clothing. Wearing only a few scraps of cloth barely enough to cover herself, she hid inside a filthy garbage bin.
Having successfully reduced Qin Ying, who had tormented her for five or six years, to such a miserable state, Luo Ranjia sat on a soft, warm sofa. While watching Qin Ying gradually lose consciousness through the camera, she placed sleeping pills into her mouth one by one, leaving this world one step before that scumbag.
No, that was wrong. She had clearly gotten her revenge. Why did Luo Ranjia still commit suicide?
Qin Ying could not understand it. Even though the later text had vaguely hinted that Luo Ranjia had done it for love, Qin Ying did not believe a single word of it.
Although she had only transmigrated into the book a few hours ago, Qin Ying, who was naturally extremely perceptive, was certain that Luo Ranjia had no love for the scumbag Alpha at all. Only hatred.
Beep—
The water boiler with built-in sterilizing and filtering functions interrupted Qin Ying’s thoughts. She poured two cups of water, both at a temperature that could be drunk directly.
After drinking her own cup in one go, Qin Ying carried the other cup back to the room.
In order to avoid frightening Luo Ranjia, Qin Ying first knocked lightly on the door before pushing it open and entering.
Luo Ranjia was still in the same position as before. Her eyes were closed, and the rise and fall of her breathing could barely be felt. She looked like a lifeless, exquisitely made doll.
Qin Ying’s heart jolted. She quickly put down the cup in her hand and stretched out one finger, placing it beneath Luo Ranjia’s nose.
Warm breath lightly brushed across Qin Ying’s finger, bringing with it a faint itch.
Qin Ying withdrew her finger. She did not miss Luo Ranjia’s suddenly trembling eyelashes, nor her reflexive flinch. Only then did she feel a little more at ease.
“Drink some water. The doctor will be here soon.”
Thinking of the scumbag Alpha’s final ending, Qin Ying looked at Luo Ranjia, who was pretending to sleep, and said with some hesitation,
“There may be something wrong with my body. I can’t permanently mark an Omega. So in the future, you don’t have to worry that I’ll do anything improper to you.”
Luo Ranjia opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Qin Ying half-believingly, suddenly feeling that the person before her was somewhat unfamiliar.
It was not as though she had never looked properly at Qin Ying. Before Qin Ying had torn off her disguise, Luo Ranjia had once cherished this face and looked at it seriously countless times.
At that time, Qin Ying carried the arrogance and reserve of an established family’s daughter, yet she was also willing to lower herself and prepare all kinds of little surprises for Luo Ranjia. Otherwise, Luo Ranjia would not have made up her mind to marry her after less than half a year of dating.
Later, she had also looked seriously at Qin Ying. The first time Qin Ying mocked her for being easy to deceive. The first time Qin Ying forced her to imitate Luo Ranshi’s every move. The first time Qin Ying hit her.
But none of those times felt as unfamiliar as the Qin Ying before her now.
She had seen the false affection in these eyes. She had seen the cruelty and violence in these eyes. But she had never seen them as they were now—gentle, comfortable, like the spring breeze, bringing her no harm at all.
She noticed that Qin Ying was saying she could not permanently mark anyone, but there was not the slightest ripple in her eyes. It was as if being unable to permanently mark an Omega was nothing more than an insignificant matter to her.
It was merely another layer of disguise!
Looking at the crisscrossing wounds on her arms, Luo Ranjia mocked herself for truly being a fool.
“If, and I mean if, you mind that, we can get divorced.”
Qin Ying fixed her gentle gaze on Luo Ranjia’s face, trying to see her true thoughts.
“Divorced?”
In Qin Ying’s view, this was a way to ease their relationship, but it deeply provoked Luo Ranjia.
Luo Ranjia’s tears once again flowed uncontrollably, like beads from a broken string.
“You… don’t cry.”
Qin Ying froze for a moment. She did not know why the word “divorce” hurt Luo Ranjia so badly, so badly that the despair that had slowly calmed down burned up again.
“I want a divorce. I dream of it. But Qin Ying, who made it so that I’m destined to be tied to you for the rest of my life?”
Luo Ranjia supported herself and sat up. Her long hair fell down in front of her, disappearing into her collar. Tears once again flowed from her reddened eyes. The gaze she directed at Qin Ying carried a hint of madness.
“Do you still remember what I said at the wedding? I said that I, Luo Ranjia, would only love Qin Ying in this life. We would live and die together, never leaving nor abandoning each other.”
Qin Ying’s mind went somewhat blank. Her red lips parted slightly, revealing her helplessness.
“Don’t get worked up. I remember.”
In truth, the scumbag Alpha’s memory fragments did not contain these things at all. At the time, she had only been focused on observing her white moonlight, Luo Ranshi.
Seeing Luo Ranjia become emotional again, Qin Ying inexplicably felt some heartache, but also some frustration toward her for failing to fight back. For a scumbag Alpha like that, there was no need to hold on at all.
“Qin Ying, don’t forget. I deeply love you.”
The words “deeply love” were spoken with more depth than hatred, as if the love she once had had already become a poison that had seeped deep into her bones. There was no antidote, and it would only end with death.
Was that not exactly ending with death?
Remembering Luo Ranjia’s act of seeking death in the original novel, Qin Ying lowered her eyes. Her fingers unconsciously twirled the curly ends of her hair around them. She steeled her heart and continued,
“But I no longer love you. I’m the one who wants a divorce. I’m the one who wants to dissolve this paper contract.”
After hearing Qin Ying’s words, Luo Ranjia only smiled in despair. The dim yellow light fell on her skin, inexplicably giving her the sorrowful feeling of a flower withering at the height of its bloom.
“Fine, I—”
Luo Ranjia gasped heavily. They were clearly only a few simple words, yet it seemed as if she was using her life to say them.
“I ag—”
Her breathing grew more and more rapid, like a fish stranded on the beach. Qin Ying felt that Luo Ranjia looked as if she would die in the very next second.
“No, you don’t agree. You don’t need to say it.”
Qin Ying directly interrupted her and comforted her in a gentle voice.
“You don’t need to say anything. You don’t agree.”
“Cough, cough cough.”
Luo Ranjia coughed loudly. How could she not want a divorce? But she could not get divorced.
Luo Ranjia had originally not been that enthusiastic about romance. Until one day, something called the “Marriage System” found her.
Luo Ranjia, whose only focus was building her career, did not want to pay attention to it at all. But the system directly bound itself to her by force, then issued its first and only mission: find her destined lover, love her for a lifetime, live and die together.
At first, Luo Ranjia only found it absurd. The most unreliable thing in the world was the human heart. But later, in a daze, she had truly fallen in love with someone.
When the Marriage System had appeared in her mind back then, she thought it was heaven’s recognition of the two of them as lovers. Looking at it now, it was clearly punishment.
If Qin Ying was the devil, then this Marriage System was the rope that bound her to the devil’s side. If Qin Ying lived, she lived. If Qin Ying died, she died. She would never be able to break free.
Perhaps it was to punish the host for violating the rules, or perhaps it was a side effect of the banned drug, but the pheromones that had originally been calmed by the inhibitor spread once again.
“Qin Ying, no matter what trick you want to play, I won’t resist anymore. I’m tired. I surrender.”
Luo Ranjia seemed to have accepted her fate. Wearing a falsely gentle expression, she took the initiative to move closer to Qin Ying.
Qin Ying felt the skin beneath her hand gradually heat up. The familiar pear blossom fragrance spread again, and Qin Ying subconsciously sniffed it.
Immediately after, a warm, soft sensation came from her face. Qin Ying retreated in shock, but Luo Ranjia leaned forward, her whole body falling into Qin Ying’s arms.
“Luo Ranjia, wake up a little.”
Qin Ying finally realized that Luo Ranjia’s pheromones had gone out of control. Thinking of the lifelong illness Luo Ranjia suffered in the original novel because of the banned drug, she could not help cursing the scumbag Alpha again and again.
“Qin Ying, you can’t mark me forever anyway. What else do I have to be afraid of?”
Luo Ranjia leaned closer again.
At this distance, Qin Ying could clearly see every one of Luo Ranjia’s eyelashes, feel every trace of hot breath she exhaled, as well as the resistance she was trying her best to hide.
“You’re not afraid, but I am.”
Qin Ying turned her head to avoid Luo Ranjia. Gently, yet allowing no resistance, she pressed Luo Ranjia down onto the bed. Then she went to the medicine kit to look for a pheromone inhibitor, only to discover that there were no spares left.
Fortunately, the family doctor finally arrived at the critical moment.
Qin Ying opened the villa door with the remote control and had the family doctor quickly feed Luo Ranjia the inhibitor. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
“This really is too torturous.”
Qin Ying looked at Luo Ranjia’s gradually blurring side profile. Her feet staggered, and her entire body collapsed weakly onto the carpet.
