Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, a Dainty Omega is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 22

Jiang Cha’s eyes could talk. One moment they were filled with a pitiful, pleading look, and the next, they sparkled with delight.

“Thank you.”

“Yunyun, you’re the best to me.”

Pffft! Xiao Yun’s heart went cold. She felt like she had seen this scene before.

In the original novel, Jiang Cha used every means possible to seduce the future lawyer, Xiao Yu—the third sister. She used this exact pitiful expression and spoke the most beautiful words.

“How could your sister even compare to you? Yuyu is the best.”

Xiao Yu, Xiao Yun’s third sister, would pull Jiang Cha into her arms and press her close.

“The person my sister won’t let me have is exactly the person I’m going to take. I want you.”

Xiao Yun suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Good grief, Jiang Cha was now using her seductive tricks on her.

She coughed twice, her face flushing as Jiang Cha approached. To be more precise, she was flushed from fright. She turned her face away.

“It’s what I should do. We are partners, after all.”

Jiang Cha nodded, only then noticing that the tips of Xiao Yun’s ears were red and her small canine teeth were slightly visible. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly moved her hands from Xiao Yun’s shoulders.

She physically distanced herself from Xiao Yun at the same time.

Xiao Yun finally caught her breath.

Jiang Cha picked out a large, yellow loquat and began to peel it, handing it to Xiao Yun once finished.

“I was so focused on talking business that I forgot to let you moisten your throat.”

Xiao Yun sat up straight and took the loquat. She thought to herself: Jiang Cha is quite something; she acts the full part. She didn’t just run off once she got what she wanted. Xiao Yun played along with the performance and ate the fruit.

The loquat was juicy and fleshy, with a crisp, sweet fragrance that was the best medicine for her husky throat.

“Is it good?”

“Yes, it is.”

“That’s good. I was afraid it wouldn’t be effective since it was shipped from so far away.” Jiang Cha reached out to peel a second one.

“I’ll do it myself.”

How could she let this “precious ancestor” keep peeling fruit for her? She knew when to quit while she was ahead.

Xiao Yun’s decision to film the variety show had to be reported to Xiao Jingliang.

That day, Xiao Jingliang happened to return. During dinner, Jiang Cha silently glanced at her several times, prompting Xiao Yun to put down her chopsticks.

She looked at everyone at the table—her sister, her sister-in-law, her stepmother, her aunt, and finally, Xiao Jingliang. Her gaze settled on Father Xiao.

“Dad, I’ve thought about it. I’m going on a honeymoon with Jiangjiang.”

The moment she said this, Xiao Qing dropped her chopsticks, looking at Xiao Yun with pleasant surprise.

As expected, Xiao Yun is still useless. She wouldn’t go to any hospital internship; she just wants to play.

A long-awaited smile appeared on Xiao Jingliang’s stern face. “Good. It seems making you watch that variety show was the right move.”

Watching other people be all lovey-dovey all day—I guess you couldn’t resist the temptation yourself.

Xiao Yun nodded. “The wedding was rushed, and I’ve always felt I wronged Jiangjiang. For this honeymoon, I promised her I’d make it up to her properly.”

Jiang Cha’s eyes flickered as she looked at her face. Her lips were slightly pursed, and she tilted her head toward Xiao Yun. “As long as I’m with Yunyun, I don’t feel wronged at all.”

With acting skills like that, it’s a pity she isn’t in movies.

“Where do you plan to go?”

Xiao Yun naturally followed her lead. She put an arm around Jiang Cha’s waist, feeling the slight stiffness in her frame. Their heads were almost touching. “Dad, it’s like this: Jiangjiang plans to make a comeback, and I support her fully. I’m going with her to that variety show we usually watch, Wives’ Honeymoon Trip.”

These words hit Xiao Jingliang right in the heart. He had founded Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals with the intent of serving the people, but in recent years, due to a lack of exposure, while the company looked like it was running smoothly, it couldn’t compete with rivals who advertised every day.

He was getting old. Xiao Qing was too conventional, Xiao Yun was uneducated, and Xiao Yu was too young. How could he bear to see his life’s work go down the drain?

Seeing him silent for a long time, Xiao Yun knew Xiao Jingliang was traditional and didn’t know if he would agree to a non-traditional marketing route.

Before Xiao Jingliang could speak, Xiao Qing cut in: “If the Second Sister is suddenly exposed to the public, will it affect the reputation of Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals? The stock market hasn’t been very stable lately.”

Xiao Qing’s words were loaded. It sounded as if the moment Xiao Yun showed her face, the stocks would crash.

Xiao Yun clearly felt Jiang Cha’s waist tremble with her breath.

Xiao Yun retracted her hand. “The Eldest Sister is right. The stocks have been unstable lately exactly because the public has a prejudice against me, isn’t that so? Since there’s this opportunity, I’ll step forward so everyone can get to know me. Maybe their opinions will change.”

The outside world said Jiang Cha was a “beautiful flower stuck in cow dung” and called them “Beauty and the Beast.” The slandering of Xiao Yun was significant.

The aunt, who had been listening, rested her chin on her hand. “Actually, going out to play is a good thing. Yunyun has never been away from home; it’s time for her to practice taking care of herself. Brother-in-law, what do you think?”

Xiao Qing’s heart tightened. If Xiao Yun left, it meant she was out of her sight. Just as she was about to speak again, Xiao Jingliang cut her off.

“Fine. You will go to this variety show.” Xiao Jingliang looked at her, then at Jiang Cha. “I’ve wronged you all this time.”

Jiang Cha pursed her lips. “I don’t feel wronged. Thank you, Uncle.”

“Fantastic!” the aunt clapped. “Are you recording on a romantic island again this time?”

Xiao Yun looked at Jiang Cha.

Jiang Cha’s eyes curved. “Yes, it’s very hot there.”

“Then you’ll need to wear very beautiful summer clothes! Oh my god, I’m so jealous.” The aunt clasped her hands excitedly. Thinking of sun, sand, sea, bikinis, music, and BBQ, she was already thrilled. She leaned in to whisper in Jiang Cha’s ear: “I know a bikini shop with many pieces that would suit you.”

Jiang Cha hesitated, her face flushing slightly. “I don’t need…”

“It’s settled. Tomorrow I’ll take Yunyun and Jiangjiang out to buy summer clothes.”

After dinner, Xiao Yun and Jiang Cha walked side-by-side. Xiao Yun said to her, “My aunt doesn’t mean any harm, don’t take it to heart.”

Jiang Cha’s ears were still red. She hadn’t thought deeply about this issue yet. Filming a variety show would indeed involve bathing together, swimming, wearing bikinis at the beach, and playing very intimate games.

Standing next to Xiao Yun, she suddenly felt a sense of pressure.

“I… didn’t take it to heart.” Jiang Cha shifted slightly away from her.

Xiao Yun followed her lead and gave her space. However, she paused for a moment, then stepped forward and put an arm around Jiang Cha’s shoulder.

Jiang Cha seemed startled; her body shrank back, looking even more like a frightened deer in her arms. Confusion filled her eyes as she turned her face away. “What are you doing?”

“How can you be like this?” Xiao Yun let go and sighed. “Maybe we shouldn’t go.”

“No.” Jiang Cha stood her ground, her eyes looking at her innocently. “Yunyun.”

“But do you know what we have to do there?” Xiao Yun frowned. “It’s not like now, where we just go through the motions. It’s…”

The cameras would be 360-degree coverage. Whether the couple was intimate or not, the audience would see it instantly.

“I only put my arm around your shoulder just now.” Xiao Yun’s eyes were sincere. “If you still feel uncomfortable, it’s better to…” …give up early.

Before she could finish, Jiang Cha pulled her into the room. Jiang Cha was surprisingly strong, pushing her onto the sofa and wrapping her arms around her.

Jiang Cha’s flushed face was only an inch from hers. Her breath was warm against Xiao Yun’s nose, and she looked at her with hesitation.

“I can do it,” she said falteringly. “Yunyun, I can do it.”

Now it was Xiao Yun’s turn to feel uncomfortable. Fine, you can do it, but why are you so close?

Her expression froze. Thinking Xiao Yun didn’t believe her, Jiang Cha leaned even closer, kneeling over her. Her hands trembled as she gripped Xiao Yun’s shoulders, her thin red lips twitching.

Xiao Yun’s breath hitched. She felt a strange tension. If I offend this ancestor now, is she going to come for my life with a knife later? Better not stir up more hatred.

“Cough… you don’t need to go this far.”

She regretted teasing Jiang Cha just now. She looked away.

Jiang Cha was cautious. To prove her determination, she wasn’t sure how far she needed to go. The scenes of kissing in the variety show flashed through her mind. Do we have to kiss?

She looked at Xiao Yun’s lips. Xiao Yun’s mouth was slightly open, revealing clean, white teeth and sharp canines.

“I…”

She had never kissed anyone before. Even when dating Li Rang, every time Li Rang leaned in to kiss her, she felt uncomfortable. Having children was fine, but kissing was not.

But…

Xiao Yun didn’t know what she was thinking; she only saw her getting closer and closer.

“Jiang Cha?”

Jiang Cha suddenly closed her eyes. Her lips were only a hair’s breadth from Xiao Yun’s. She froze for a moment, then hurriedly buried her head, resting it against Xiao Yun’s jawline.
