After Becoming a Scummy Alpha, the Movie Queen Just Wants to Pamper Her Wife (LILY, ABO) - Chapter 9

“There’s nothing different about me. I’m just afraid…” Meng Chuwu knew she couldn’t say any more.

The truth about her being inside a book was something Xi Xiaoyan, the original character, could never understand or believe.

“What are you afraid of, Sister Wu?” Xi Xiaoyan asked softly but firmly. She kept pressing, clearly not willing to let the matter drop without a real answer.

Meng Chuwu couldn’t come up with a lie anymore, so she said, “I’m afraid I’m not good enough for you. I’m afraid someone like me will end up hurting you.”

That was her way of admitting she had changed. She was no longer as confident or shameless as she had been before the wedding.

After all, she wasn’t really the same person as the original scumbag Alpha.

Xi Xiaoyan suddenly fell quiet.

When she had been talking non-stop, Meng Chuwu wished she would ease up and stop pushing so hard.

Now that she had gone quiet, the silence between them felt too heavy. Sitting so close, Meng Chuwu thought she should say something, anything.

This back-and-forth left her confused. What was this situation between them even supposed to be?

Was she really that afraid of letting Xi Xiaoyan down?

Her chest felt tight. She even forgot to button her shirt.

“What do you mean by that?”

Thank goodness Xi Xiaoyan spoke again. Meng Chuwu let out a quiet sigh of relief.

“I haven’t changed how I feel,” she said, though her voice was unsteady and full of doubt. Technically, her heart had not been fully involved yet. She had simply taken the place of the scumbag Alpha, and now both identities had become one. Saying she hadn’t changed wasn’t exactly a lie. “It’s just that you’re too pure. And my past… I’m sure you know some of it. And then this morning, you saw…”

“I’m not as naive as you think. Sister Wu, stop assuming things about me,” Xi Xiaoyan interrupted. “I’m not that much younger than you. I know what I’m doing.”

“You think you’re emotionally mature? Then why did you only complete your second differentiation after meeting me?”

Meng Chuwu was referring to the fact that Xi Xiaoyan had fully differentiated only after getting close to her.

Before meeting Meng Chuwu, even though her beauty was well known in Lucheng, Xi Xiaoyan was only a B-level Omega. She didn’t stand out too much.

In ABO society, apart from Betas who cared little for social ranking, both Alphas and Omegas paid close attention to levels after differentiation. The ranks were ordered from highest to lowest as S, A, B, C, and D. The higher the level, the more powerful and unique their pheromones were. High-ranking individuals were considered more attractive or capable.

Strong Alpha pheromones could suppress lower-ranked individuals. High-level Omega pheromones were extremely attractive to Alphas.

When a high-level Alpha and Omega bonded, their chances of producing another high-level child were greater. Because of this, people often married based on strength and status. Discrimination between ranks was common. Many low-ranking Alphas and Omegas used inhibitors to hide their level or even their gender. It was already a social norm for Alphas and Omegas to use suppressants during sensitive periods to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Xi Xiaoyan had her first differentiation at sixteen, but she had failed to become the S-level Omega that everyone had expected.

She came from a prestigious family. Her father was an S-level Alpha and a respected military commander. Her mother was an A-level Omega and a well-known classical dance professor. Her older brother and sister were an S-level Alpha and an A-level Alpha, both highly accomplished.

Early genetic testing had suggested that Xi Xiaoyan had a high chance of becoming a rare S-level Omega.

But when she finally differentiated, her world completely changed. Her entire family was disappointed. No one could understand how parents with such strong genes could have a B-level child.

Overnight, she was no longer the family’s little princess. She was no longer the center of attention among her friends.

She almost gave up on her dreams entirely.

Meng Chuwu made her debut when Xi Xiaoyan was fifteen.

As one of the top-ranking Alphas, blessed with breathtaking looks and the legacy of her award-winning actress mother, Meng Chuwu rose to fame the moment she entered the public eye. By eighteen, she had already become the idol of countless young people.

Xi Xiaoyan was one of those girls.

At the time, she hadn’t yet differentiated. But the moment she saw Meng Chuwu on screen and online, she silently made a promise to herself.

She would marry Meng Chuwu.

That promise became her dream at fifteen. She even wrote it in the front page of her diary.

“Sister Wu, wait for me to grow up. I want to marry you.”

From that moment on, she began preparing to make that dream come true.

But just one year later, her dream was shattered by the outcome of her differentiation.

“Give up already. An S-level Alpha would never look at a B-level Omega.”

“She’s disgusting. She lied about her genetic results being S-level. You know how rare that is? One in a million. She really made it up. I actually believed her. What a joke.”

“I hate girls who lie about their genes. If you’re average, just accept it.”

“She could have just stayed quiet and been a pretty face. But no, she had to act like she was something special. So fake.”

“She doesn’t have a princess life, but she acts like she has princess syndrome.”

At the time, all the rumors and cruelty from her friends and family nearly crushed her.

What hurt her the most was not the strangers. It was the people she had once trusted with her deepest thoughts, who now laughed at her for having a crush on Meng Chuwu.

Even her parents were disappointed in her. It was as if having a B-level Omega daughter was something shameful. From that moment on, all their attention shifted to her older siblings. She was no longer part of the picture.

At sixteen, Xi Xiaoyan fell from the clouds into a deep, cold abyss.

She hadn’t cared much about becoming an S-level Omega before. But the way everyone changed their attitude suffocated her. Slowly, she became withdrawn and sickly.

Eventually, she felt like her dream had truly died. Before she let go completely, she wrote a long letter. She sent it to every one of Meng Chuwu’s social media accounts.

The title was, “Sharing a Secret with My Dearest Sister Wu.”

In the letter, she wrote about her dream. She wrote about what had happened to her. She wrote about how her heart had broken. She wrote about how reality forced her to let go and accept the future she never wanted.

In the letter, Xi Xiaoyan didn’t use Meng Chuwu’s name. She replaced it with the image of the S-rank Alpha next-door sister she dreamed of marrying.

At that time, Meng Chuwu was already gaining recognition and had thousands of fans. Although it was still possible to send her a direct message through her social accounts, Xi Xiaoyan never expected her to read it, let alone reply.

She had written the letter not because she hoped for a response, but because she couldn’t let go of her dream without saying goodbye. She felt she owed it to herself and to the beautiful dream that had shattered before she even had a chance to fight for it.

At the end of the letter, she wrote:

“I’ll keep following her from a distance, where she can’t see me. I’ll give her all of the love in my heart. No matter when, she will always have someone who loves her unconditionally. I wish my most beloved and beautiful sister all the love and happiness in the world.”

After she sent the message, Xi Xiaoyan felt even more heartbroken knowing that she might be letting go of her dream to marry Meng Chuwu forever.

Then, on the night of her birthday, when her entire family had forgotten about it, she came back to her room and opened her social account. She saw a new message notification.

When she clicked on it and saw who had sent the reply, she froze. It was from the person she loved most.

Before she even read the message, she was already bouncing around her room with joy. Just the fact that Meng Chuwu had replied was enough to blow away all the darkness she had been carrying.

And the message itself was even more healing than she could have hoped.

Meng Chuwu had written:

“Little girl, don’t worry about rankings or classifications. What matters most in this world is a sincere and loving heart. Be brave and confess your feelings to the sister you love. Tell her how much you care. Tell her you’ll give her all your love. If she accepts, then you’ll be happy together. If she doesn’t, at least you won’t have to love her silently anymore. Every bit of love deserves a response. Every true feeling deserves to be cherished.

I hope your dream comes true. And if, by chance, it doesn’t, I hope you will have the courage to let go of the one who does not love you. Don’t waste your kindness. Keep moving forward, and let your dreams bloom in the place where you are truly loved.”

The reply wasn’t long, but to Xi Xiaoyan, it was like a magic cure. It swept away the sorrow, disappointment, pressure, and darkness that had been weighing her down.

Although she didn’t go confess to Meng Chuwu, or even try to meet her, she started dreaming again. Her dream of growing up and marrying Meng Chuwu returned, quietly and full of hope.

She thought to herself, even if the dream never comes true, just being able to follow her and quietly love her was already a kind of happiness. For a long time after her differentiation, it was the only thing that truly made her smile.

Xi Xiaoyan’s love and admiration for Meng Chuwu never faded. From her middle school days to her college graduation, her feelings stayed the same.

It continued up until recently, when Meng Chuwu held a press conference for her new film. As usual, Xi Xiaoyan did everything she could to attend. Her only wish was to see her from afar, even just for a moment. But that press conference became the second turning point in her life.

No one knew how, but Meng Chuwu, standing on the stage, noticed her in the crowd. During the final audience interaction segment, Xi Xiaoyan was chosen as the lucky fan. She was invited on stage to take a photo with Meng Chuwu and was even given her contact information.

To be honest, that was just part of the scumbag Alpha’s usual flirting routine. By chance, she saw Xi Xiaoyan’s breathtakingly beautiful face and instantly wanted to possess her.

From then on, she used every trick in the book and showered her with sweet words to pursue her.

What she didn’t know was that she didn’t have to do anything. If she had just said one sincere word, Xi Xiaoyan would have married her without hesitation, like a moth diving into the flame, completely and fearlessly.

They hadn’t known each other for long. On one date, the scumbag Alpha suggested teaching her how to do a French kiss. But just as they were about to begin, Xi Xiaoyan’s long-delayed second differentiation was triggered, disrupting everything.

That differentiation caused a sensation. Her sweet and soft pheromones spread like a spring breeze, leaving a lasting impression on every Alpha within several miles.

After a chaotic scene, she fully differentiated into a rare S-rank Omega.

Her transformation shocked all of Lucheng. After that, her family and relatives did a complete one-eighty. She became famous overnight. Marriage proposals flooded in, with people lining up at her door.

But she could never trust those people’s empty words and selfish intentions. She had already chosen the person she wanted years ago.

Without hesitation, she turned down everyone else.

All these years, no matter how many people surrounded Meng Chuwu, no matter how many admirers came and went, Xi Xiaoyan’s feelings for her never changed. She only thought about one thing. One day, when the time came, she would run into Meng Chuwu’s arms without holding anything back.

Was she angry about Liao Xuehui? Of course she was.

Would she cause a scene or start a fight over it? Never.

Because marrying Meng Chuwu had been her dream for years.

“Sister Wu,” Xi Xiaoyan said seriously, answering the earlier question, “I think the reason I fully differentiated after meeting you is because you are the only person in the world who can make me become the best version of myself.”

“You’re such a sweet talker,” Meng Chuwu thought to herself, this little sister really was too lovable.

“So, does Sister want another kiss?”

Oh no. Here it came again. Meng Chuwu smiled.

This girl really loved to kiss.

Maybe… she should indulge her a little.
