Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, a Dainty Omega is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 26
After a rush edit, Liao Yanyan quickly arranged to broadcast the footage. Soon, hashtags like #BunnyIsATeddyBear, #JiangChaCanSleepWithXiaoYun, and #XiaoYunMedicatedPatch soared to the top of the hot search lists.
Audiences love messy plots, but they love a reversal even more. By 4:00 PM, the narrative shifted. Netizens began changing their tune:
Ginger Baby: “I knew my Jiangjiang wasn’t fickle. Her ex-wife was a piece of work; Jiangjiang is the one who suffered.”
Jiang-Yun CP: “The production team is disgusting. Why film someone sleeping? If an Omega went into heat and needed an Alpha to mark them, would they film that too? Gross!”
CP Magnifying Glass: “Don’t you know this show is famous for pushing boundaries? Look at today’s #1.”
Moon Couple Fan: “What am I supposed to watch on a ‘Wives’ show if not them sleeping? Watch them just chat under the covers?”
Xiao Yun satisfiedly exited the first trending topic. Beside her, Jiang Cha was scrolling with her, her small frame lightly leaning against Xiao Yun, a faint smile on her face.
“Click on the next one,” Jiang Cha nudged her arm. “What is ‘#XiaoYunMedicatedPatch’?”
Heh, my own issues are solved, now it’s time for hers, Xiao Yun thought. Before clicking, she worried the term “medicated patch” (which can colloquially mean a “clinging dog”) meant she was being called a pest. Instead, the link revealed a high-definition close-up of the flesh-colored patch on her right wrist from the previous night.
“It’s all because of me that you got hurt.” In the video, Jiang Cha’s expression was a perfect mix of guilt and shyness—a masterclass in acting.
Xiao Yun felt a sense of impending doom as they scrolled to the comments. Jiang Cha started reading them aloud.
” ‘Xiao Yun, hold back a bit, Jiang Cha is going to fall apart.’ ” Jiang Cha stopped abruptly, her breath catching as she sat perfectly still.
Why are you shy? You’re the one who wanted to read it, Xiao Yun thought. She didn’t dare move either. As adults, making a fuss would only make it look more suspicious. She thickened her skin and kept scrolling.
Ginger Baby: “Xiao Yun, you’re an Alpha, can’t you be gentler with our fragile Omega? We know you’re newlyweds, but looking at your hand, you clearly worked Jiangjiang to exhaustion!”
CP Magnifying Glass: “This detail is so sweet. I prefer this subtle stuff to those who just strip and get to it. Finding your own ‘sugar’ is the best!”
Jiang-Yun CP: “Let me write a scene: In the night, Xiao Yun pins Jiang Cha against the wall to mark her. ‘Oh Jiangjiang, let’s have a little Omega.’ Because the posture was wrong, she hurt her hand! Thank you, I’m dead, I’ve imagined the whole wild scene.”
Xiao Yun’s face went dark, and she silently locked her screen. What is wrong with these people?
However, their “artificial sugar” was working. Since the netizens preferred these subtle “sugar points” over overt fanservice, things would be easier later. But the silence beside her was deafening. Jiang Cha was glowing redder than the sun, frozen in place. The awkwardness of two people who hadn’t even had real physical contact being discussed like that was palpable.
Luckily, a customer broke the ice. “I want a watermelon!”
“Jiangjiang, work’s here!” Xiao Yun rolled up her sleeves—only to realize she was wearing a sleeveless top. Jiang Cha snapped out of her daze and went to grab the boxes.
The afternoon remained busy until 6:00 PM. As the crowds thinned for dinner, Xiao Yun had a realization. “Jiangjiang, you count the money, I’m going to the restroom.”
She found a secluded spot to call Shuncheng. Butler Mei answered quickly.
“Mei, please send the teddy bear from my room over. The gray one Jiang Cha hugs when she sleeps.”
“The gray one? Understood.”
As Mei went to fetch the bear, she ran into Xiao Jingliang. He was in high spirits; the national reaction to Xiao Yun and Jiang Cha was positive, the family stocks were recovering, and it looked like a grandchild might be on the way.
“Sending a bear to the Second Miss,” Mei explained. “She’s very protective of Miss Jiang. She realized the bear was missing last night and wanted it sent immediately.”
Xiao Jingliang smiled thinly. “It seems she’s really settled down. Send the bear, but take eight bodyguards with you. She’s famous now; we need to be careful.”
At sunset, the beach was bathed in red. Xiao Yun watched Jiang Cha counting money at the stall, the light making her look breathtaking. So beautiful… but thorny, she mused.
Determined to provide more “material” for the fans, Xiao Yun picked up a melon and a small knife.
“Including this morning, we made 12,080 yuan,” Jiang Cha said, looking up. “What are you carving?”
Xiao Yun didn’t answer, her surgical precision taking over. She had dissected frogs and operated on humans, but she had never carved fruit. She focused entirely, her jade-like fingers moving with a grace that made the world around her disappear.
When she finished, she handed the melon to Jiang Cha.
“What flower is this?” Jiang Cha asked, startled.
Xiao Yun’s eyelashes fluttered. “A rose, obviously.”
It didn’t really look like a rose, but Jiang Cha smiled for the cameras. “Yunyun, why a rose?” She expected a cheesy romantic line about love.
Xiao Yun leaned in, her eyes like bright pearls. “Because of the smell of your pheromones.”
Jiang Cha’s “acting” face slipped into a genuine daze for a second before Xiao Yun turned away as if nothing had happened.
The director announced the end of the day. On the bus back, Liao Yanyan apologized for the “Bunny” leak and promised no cameras in the bedrooms that night. The bus erupted in cheers.
The host announced the results: “Our Jiang-Yun couple raised the most for the charity fund! They will skip tomorrow’s preliminary rounds and go straight to the finals.”
The prize for tomorrow’s winners? A day in a luxury private villa with no filming until the evening.
“However,” the host added, “the dress code for tomorrow’s water-skiing competition is… bikinis.”
The bus went quiet. “We’re all girls, don’t be shy,” the host laughed. “But be careful—if you wear a shawl, it’s easier for opponents to pull you into the water.”
Xiao Yun frowned and put her arm around Jiang Cha’s shoulder. “My Omega isn’t a great swimmer.”
“I can’t swim at all,” Jiang Cha added.
Back at the villa, the crew left. Xiao Yun closed the door and immediately turned off the lights, covering Jiang Cha’s mouth with her hand. “Shhh.”
The lemon scent of the Alpha mixed with the summer heat. Jiang Cha’s heart hammered. What is she doing?
“I’m checking,” Xiao Yun whispered. She used an app on her phone to sweep the room for hidden cameras. “Okay, we’re clear.”
When the lights came back on, Jiang Cha’s face was flushed. “You suspected the crew?”
“You can’t be too careful,” Xiao Yun said. Noticing Jiang Cha’s discomfort, she apologized for the earlier physical closeness.
“I’m not blaming you,” Jiang Cha whispered, heading for the shower.
Xiao Yun, determined to maintain boundaries, set up a makeshift bed on the floor with a mat and a blanket. When Jiang Cha emerged, she was surprised. “Why are you on the floor?”
“AO boundaries,” Xiao Yun said firmly, looking at her medical book. “You’ll have a future after this.”
Jiang Cha, in her pink nightgown, stepped toward the bed. “The floor is damp near the sea. Just sleep on the bed. I’ve been married twice; I don’t care about rumors anymore.”
Xiao Yun hesitated, but seeing the “Omega” didn’t mind, she packed up her floor bed and showered. When she returned, Jiang Cha was under the covers, back turned to her.
“Asleep?” Xiao Yun asked.
“Checking the hot searches,” Jiang Cha’s muffled voice replied.
Xiao Yun sat on the bed, her hair smelling of lemon. She leaned over to look. “The Moon Couple is trending… wait, they did a temporary marking while selling ice cream?!”
The internet was in an uproar over the Movie Queen’s bold move. But Jiang-Yun was still #1.
Comment: “Xiao Yun’s lips are so nice… and her tongue has a ‘scalloped’ (sawtooth) edge. So sexy, I’m thinking of wild things.”
Xiao Yun grabbed a mirror in confusion. “Do I have a ‘sawtooth’ tongue?” She stuck her tongue out.
Jiang Cha looked, her pupils dilating as she nodded.
“Oh, I’m just tired. It’s a sign of internal ‘dampness’ in Chinese medicine,” Xiao Yun muttered, putting the mirror away.
They lay down, separated by a pillow in the middle. By midnight, Xiao Yun felt a warm little head lean against her right arm. Soft, milky skin pressed against her, and warm breath fanned over her skin.
Xiao Yun woke up to the tingling sensation. Another sleepless night.
