Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, a Dainty Omega is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 19
On the way back, Jiang Cha’s mood seemed to have smoothed out considerably. She then fell into a deep sleep. It seemed that delicate Omegas were prone to sleepiness; even her breathing sounded faint. This time, however, Jiang Cha’s head leaned toward Xiao Yun’s side. Her dainty, perky nose was a bit red, and she slept very soundly.
Xiao Yun glanced at her from the side and continued driving.
Jiang Cha woke up just as they were nearing the house. Xiao Yun parked the car and gazed at the villa ahead, saying instinctively, “Finally home. It’s nice to have a light waiting for you every day.”
She couldn’t help but think of her original world, where her parents would always leave a light on for her no matter how late she worked.
Jiang Cha wasn’t so lucky. She glanced at Xiao Yun, her eyes filled with genuine envy. “Yes, it is nice.”
Recalling that the original book mentioned this about Jiang Cha, Xiao Yun immediately said, “From now on, no matter when you come home, the lights at home will always be on.”
“Huh?” Jiang Cha was startled, her pupils reflecting the bright snow-light of the winter night.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Yun didn’t explain further.
Before they had walked more than a few steps, Butler Mei ran out of the house. She had a stiff smile on her face as she said, “Second Miss, the Chairman is back. He’s waiting for you both to have dinner.”
Xiao Yun sucked in a breath of cold air. “Did he ask about me?”
Father Xiao naturally assumed she was out fooling around, but Auntie Mei explained, “Fortunately, Miss Jiang was with you. Hurry inside.”
Xiao Yun nodded. She took off her coat while walking and handed it to Butler Mei. Jiang Cha also removed her coat, revealing a white knit sweater and a short skirt; her frame looked quite thin. Xiao Yun looked at Jiang Cha, appearing hesitant to speak.
Jiang Cha seemed to feel a warm gaze. When she looked up, Xiao Yun quickly looked away. Xiao Yun’s throat felt itchy, and she clutched her neck, coughing a few times.
A moment later, Jiang Cha’s cool body leaned toward her. She slid her left hand into the crook of Xiao Yun’s arm, her fair, jade-like hand resting lightly on Xiao Yun’s wrist. Her eyes were full of smiles. “Yunyun, let’s go.”
Cough, cough, cough. Xiao Yun coughed involuntarily, thinking that Jiang Cha was really quick on the uptake—she had understood her intent instantly.
Butler Mei smiled and opened the door.
Sure enough, Jiang Cha’s gesture made Father Xiao and everyone else in the house very satisfied. After Xiao Yun apologized, she led Jiang Cha to their seats. Having been out in the cold all day and being hungry, everyone ate in silence.
Near the end of the meal, Father Xiao, looking like a man with time on his hands, spoke with an unusually bright smile. “Speaking of which, you’ve been married for a while now. What’s so fun in Shuncheng that kept you out so long?”
Xiao Yun replied, “We took a stroll by the Shuncheng River. The scenery was quite nice.”
Father Xiao continued, “Shuncheng is too cold. Since you aren’t in a rush to work, you should head to the southern islands for a honeymoon.”
A fifteen-day honeymoon. Father Xiao was thinking that with the two of them alone in the tropics, things would surely heat up, adding to the Xiao family’s superior ABO bloodline.
Xiao Yun didn’t need to look at Jiang Cha to know this was impossible. She almost sprayed her porridge and ended up coughing repeatedly.
Seeing her lack of response, Father Xiao asked, “Why have you been coughing so much lately?”
She explained, “It’s a withdrawal symptom from quitting smoking. It’ll be fine after a while, cough cough.”
Xiao Yun’s face turned beet red. Jiang Cha poured a glass of fresh water and handed it to her. Xiao Yun whispered a “thank you” and drank it in one go. Jiang Cha lightly patted the back of her hand, looking at her with great pity. Xiao Yun felt a bit awkward under that gaze.
Before Father Xiao could press further, Xiao Yun interjected, “Jiangjiang has a busy schedule lately, and I’m starting my internship, so…”
“Internship?” Father Xiao’s eyes widened. Xiao Yun had only learned a few superficial things at school; she couldn’t even tell ABO nutrient solutions and inhibitors apart. It would be a blessing if she didn’t end up hurting people.
“Yes, an internship at the hospital.” Xiao Yun had made up her mind. She was a doctor by trade, and even in this world, she remained interested in medicine.
Jiang Cha backed her up: “That’s right, Uncle. Yunyun is busy with the internship, and I have ads to shoot over the next couple of days.”
Father Xiao looked disappointed. “Once you’re done being busy, we’ll make up for the honeymoon.”
Xiao Qing, her wife, and the stepmother remained quiet. The aunt, however, looked at them with smiling eyes. “If you’re so focused on work, you could actually work while traveling. Isn’t there a variety show where you can play and earn money at the same time?”
Father Xiao: “There’s such a good thing?”
The family discussion branched out from there. Xiao Yun didn’t say much and led Jiang Cha upstairs. She knew better than anyone that Jiang Cha was focused on saving her ex-wife; she had no heart for vacationing.
After a peaceful night’s sleep, Jiang Cha left early in the morning, saying she had an ad to shoot. Xiao Yun got up shortly after. Today was supposed to be her first day of interning at the Zhongshan Laboratory.
Xiao Yun organized the medical data of this world, only to realize with a start: Wait, this world has ABO genders. She was fine with surgery—at most, there was just an extra gland—but she was completely clueless about adjusting inhibitors. She’d be exposed on her very first day!
When she reached the hospital entrance, she felt something was wrong and immediately made a call, saying she wouldn’t be coming in today. Did the “Second Miss” ever need to explain why she did or didn’t want to do something?
After Driver Zhou relayed the message, she drove off to find Xiao Jiang to hang out. She figured it was better to stall for time and study up on ABO knowledge before going in.
Xiao Jiang was easy to influence. Since Xiao Yun suggested turning over a new leaf, she had gone to the salon to dye her hair black. The two sat in a cafe; Xiao Yun clutched a book while Xiao Jiang sipped her water, feeling like her hands were itching from a day without a fight.
She sighed, watching Xiao Yun look like she was possessed by her studies. She slammed her cup down. “I say, Second Miss, we came out to relax. Why are you sitting there reading?”
“Don’t touch me.” Xiao Yun didn’t even look up; she was about to vomit just looking at the ABO terminology.
“The power of love is truly great.” Xiao Jiang bit her straw. “Thinking back, you were someone who couldn’t even get through a single sentence. But if I were you, I’d be captivated by Sister-in-law too. She’s so beautiful, and she dances so well.”
With that, Xiao Jiang tapped open a video.
The person in the frame was Jiang Cha. She was dressed very scantily in a red bodycon mini-skirt, her chest looking full and her legs straight. Her hair was still long, black, and straight—slightly shorter than now—and her makeup was sexy and enchanting.
In the video, accompanied by seductive music, Jiang Cha’s hand slid up from her calf. She lowered her waist, tossed her head lightly, and gave a look full of seduction and sexual undertones.
This was a “sexy dance” Jiang Cha had performed early in her career. It was this dance that earned her the title “Wild Rose”—a cold, elegant face combined with enchanting movements that knocked out all the “pure, campus-style” beauties of the time.
Xiao Yun’s heart hammered against her chest. She took a small sip of water and glared at Xiao Jiang. “Keep your eyes off your sister-in-law.”
” I’m not! I’m just envious of you. Look at the bullet comments; they’re all praising you.”
Xiao Jiang turned the phone toward her.
Bullet comments:
[Xiao Yun is so lucky, I want a goddess like that too.]
[Even an ugly person can marry a beauty; Xiao Yun, only you could pull this off.]
[A pity for Jiang Cha, to be marked by a greasy, ugly CEO.]
[What’s the pity? She slept her way to the top anyway.]
Xiao Yun gripped her cup. “You call this praising me?”
“Praising your good fortune, isn’t it?” Xiao Jiang looked at the comments and fell silent. “It’s just that they don’t know you’re actually a beauty who could stop traffic. Your looks are much better than those Alphas in the industry!”
Xiao Yun wasn’t bothered by that, but the comments saying Jiang Cha “slept her way up” made her skin crawl. She wanted to rush over and argue with those trolls.
But then she remembered: in the book, Jiang Cha did sleep with several big shots later on. Her heart felt heavy, and she instantly lost interest in her book. She looked up, and as fate would have it, Jiang Cha was standing near the elevators not far away, followed by five or six staff members and one person who looked familiar.
Based on the appearance—sunglasses, ear-length short hair, oversized clothes, and covered in bright logos as if she were wearing the entire mall—it was the original host’s rival, Liu Yingteng.
Liu Yingteng was the daughter of a famous director in Shuncheng and held many resources. In the original book, to get revenge on Xiao Yun and secure better resources, Jiang Cha seduced Liu Yingteng. Liu Yingteng had then bragged about it to Xiao Yun.
“Your wife is so easy to fool. She came running with just a beckon of my finger.”
Of course, in the end, Liu Yingteng was used by Jiang Cha and then discarded like trash, ending up ruined just like Xiao Yun.
But…
Xiao Yun took a breath. Was Jiang Cha making her move this early? Although Jiang Cha didn’t need to get revenge on her anymore, she did need Liu’s resources and connections. After all, Liu’s family had many ties to judges.
As Jiang Cha followed the group into the elevator, Xiao Yun’s heart skipped a beat.
Should she stop her, or let it happen? It felt as if a pair of hands were reaching through her skin and ribs, gripping her heart and refusing to let go.
In the original book, after finishing the ad shoot, Jiang Cha dismissed the staff and took advantage of the atmosphere in the recording studio to get marked.
She couldn’t sit still anymore; her fingers were trembling.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Xiao Yun tapped her fingers. After about ten seconds, she made up her mind. Jiang Cha was her Omega now; she couldn’t let her repeat those mistakes.
Getting cuckolded? Not a chance.
