After Disabled A was Reborn, She Got Scummed Again - Chapter 5

Chu Qian’s face instantly turned pale, followed by a look of heartbreak and disbelief.

“Qin-jiejie, I…” Her lips trembled slightly, and she looked at Qin Xiao with eyes full of unspeakable sorrow, as if she wanted to speak but didn’t know how.

“Hmph.” Shang Niannian scoffed out loud when she saw that.

Meanwhile, Chu Qiyan stood frozen in place.

Qin Xiao… had spoken up for her.

Qin Xiao actually helped her…

Amid her shock, she couldn’t even feel happy. Chu Qian would surely hold a grudge and pin this blame on her. Who knew what kind of schemes she’d face in the future?

“Let’s go,” Qin Xiao ordered.

Uncle Liu, the butler, began pushing her wheelchair forward, but Chu Qiyan hadn’t moved.

“Chu Qiyan.”

Qin Xiao calling her full name jolted her heart violently. Her bl00d went cold. That icy, indifferent voice felt like a sign, like Qin Xiao was about to leave her behind without a second thought.

She quickly shook her head as if to clear it, then rushed over with small steps, obediently standing by Qin Xiao’s side. She no longer cared what Shang Niannian or Chu Qian might think.

Qin Xiao’s words were like imperial edicts to her now. She was her only lifeline.

How ridiculous. She was a Chu and yet had been forced to rely on someone who’d barely interacted with her before.

The butler pushed Qin Xiao’s wheelchair straight into the elevator, and Chu Qiyan quickly followed, standing at her side like a well-behaved girl.

Through the elevator’s mirrored wall, Qin Xiao could clearly see Chu Qiyan’s current state.

That delicate, beautiful face was flushed a vivid red, like she was drunk. Her lips—plump and rosy—were bitten down tightly, as if they might break open and bleed at any moment.

Impressed that she’s held out this long, Qin Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration.

Now that the pressure was gone and it was just the few of them in the elevator, no one would come to bother them. The tight strings in Chu Qiyan’s head loosened slightly.

And in that moment of release, she felt as if she were submerged in a steaming hot spring. A heavy mist clouded her vision, leaving her mind hazy.

Heat surged from her body, igniting every cell and eroding her remaining rationality.

Seeing the butler press the button for the ninth floor—the very top—Chu Qiyan raised her hand to rub her forehead. That… didn’t seem like a floor she was supposed to go to.

The guest rest area was on the second floor. Could she go to the top floor? That was Qin Xiao’s territory. Though she had just snuck up there not long ago.

The restlessness surging in her body was like a beast, consuming her mind and taking over her senses. Even her palms were burning hot, and her legs were shaky. She could barely stand.

But with Qin Xiao right next to her, how could she dare act recklessly? She had to get away from Qin Xiao as soon as possible.
She was cold-hearted and ruthless—how could someone like her possibly care?
There was no way she could count on Qin Xiao to help.

“Um… Miss Qin, did you bring me here for something?” Chu Qiyan asked with a soft smile, forcing herself to remain upright.

“……”

Qin Xiao didn’t even need to look to know if the drug was in full effect.
Chu Qiyan beside her was practically a furnace, radiating waves of scalding heat.
Even though there were ten centimeters of space between them, Qin Xiao could feel it clearly.

Yet the girl acted like nothing was wrong. Qin Xiao didn’t say anything more. She just casually replied, “No.”

Her words fell into the quiet space like a stone.

Chu Qiyan’s smile stiffened for a few seconds.
If it were just a normal day, she might have gone along and played a little.
But today…

“…Mm… Miss Qin, I’m not feeling very well. If there’s nothing important, may I please—”

She didn’t finish her sentence. She had already pinched the soft skin inside her arm several times just to stay focused. She was truly at her limit.

Damn it, Chu Qian! Can’t you stop messing around even for one night!?

But before she could get a reply, the elevator dinged and stopped.

The doors opened, and before Qin Xiao could say anything, Chu Qiyan’s legs gave out, and she stumbled toward her.

The effects of the drug caused a faint trace of pheromones to seep from Chu Qiyan’s body—but in the tight space of the elevator, it quickly became overwhelming.

Butler Liu, an alpha, instinctively took two steps back to distance herself.

Even if she tried to intervene now, it would be too late. She could only watch as Chu Qiyan toppled toward Qin Xiao.

Right as she was about to fall onto Qin Xiao, at the very last second, Chu Qiyan used what little reason she had left to brace herself on the wheelchair’s armrests. But still, she couldn’t completely avoid contact; her lips brushed the corner of Qin Xiao’s mouth.

Suddenly, the elevator seemed to stop time.

The butler’s hand hung midair, unable to move.

Qin Xiao’s usually unreadable phoenix eyes opened slightly wider. A rare flicker of surprise crossed her face.

Just a second ago, Qin Xiao had been about to tell her to go rest on her own.
The next second, the girl suddenly collapsed toward her.

Fortunately, her reflexes were quick. She turned slightly and caught Chu Qiyan by the shoulders.

But that didn’t stop their eyes from locking, and it led to this awkward situation.

*****

A heavy, scorching sensation touched the corner of Qin Xiao’s lips. A faint sting followed—probably from the skin being broken. Qin Xiao instinctively frowned.

She quickly pushed Chu Qiyan away, forcing some distance between them.

“Master!” the butler cried out in shock. After so many years at Qin Xiao’s side, this was the first time an Omega had ever gotten so close to her. Her professional record had just taken a major hit.

Chu Qiyan, awakened a bit by the butler’s voice, stared at Qin Xiao with dazed eyes.

“…I’m sorry, Miss Qin…” Chu Qiyan looked blankly at Qin Xiao then her eyes drifted downward, staring fixedly at her perfectly shaped lips.

“Miss Qin… I’ve been drugged…” she said softly. Her voice had a slightly hoarse, husky edge to it, and her words trembled as if they’d fall apart. Her whole body leaned against Qin Xiao.

“You need to stay awake…” Qin Xiao started, but before she could finish, a soft, hot sensation pressed against her lips again.
Long, slightly wavy hair fell against her neck, tickling and clinging to her skin.

Chu Qiyan kissed her again.
The heat of her breath spread between them, warming Qin Xiao’s cold skin, and Chu Qiyan even extended her tongue, softly tracing along Qin Xiao’s lips, as if trying to absorb the coolness from her.

The butler, almost touched by Chu Qiyan as she lunged, froze at the sight.

The Master got kissed—forcefully kissed!

This was the first time anyone had dared do such a thing…

A moment later, Qin Xiao regained her composure and firmly pushed Chu Qiyan away.

She frowned and said in a low voice, “Chu Qiyan, snap out of it.”

“…I’m sorry… Miss Qin…” Chu Qiyan murmured, eyes half-lidded—but still fixated on Qin Xiao’s lips.

“Aunt Liu, let’s go,” Qin Xiao said, her tone calm again.

No one knew how long the elevator doors had been open.

But before long, a searing warmth touched her hand.

Looking down, Qin Xiao saw that Chu Qiyan’s hand was gently caressing her hand, like she was admiring some exquisite artwork.

“Miss Qin… your hand is so cold… smooth… it feels so nice…” Chu Qiyan mumbled, tilting her head and smiling up at her, her tone sounding drunk, like someone rambling under the influence.

Qin Xiao gave her a helpless glance. “Aunt Liu, pull her away,” she ordered coldly, with a hint of impatience.

After a beat, she added, “Watch her closely.”

“Understood, Master.”

The thick Omega pheromones lingering in the air had dulled Aunt Liu’s reactions, even affecting her thoughts slightly.

With Qin Xiao’s command, she finally moved. If this were anyone and not the future fiancée of her Master, she would’ve dragged them far, far away already.

But just as she laid a hand on Chu Qiyan’s shoulder, the latter suddenly tensed up like sensing danger—and wrapped herself around Qin Xiao like an octopus, arms clinging tightly to her neck and refusing to let go.

A wave of heat and softness overwhelmed Qin Xiao’s senses.
With her neck held tightly, her world spun slightly, and the next thing she knew, she was holding a warm body in her arms.

“…Miss Qin… “I feel so hot… please help me,” she said.

That soft, hazy voice was full of drunken confusion and an almost seductive vulnerability.

Looking down at the pitiful girl in her arms, Qin Xiao suddenly couldn’t bring herself to push her away.

Chu Qiyan even rubbed her fuzzy head against Qin Xiao’s collarbone like a kitten.

Was this really the same Chu Qiyan from earlier? The one who stood tall and composed, enduring everything so stoically?

“Master?” Even the ever-composed Aunt Liu was left speechless.
She had never seen the Master this close with any Omega before—let alone allow one that cling to her.

Internally, the butler silently raised Chu Qiyan’s status a few levels.

“…Forget it. Just go. Let’s get out of here first,” Qin Xiao muttered.

After all, Chu Qiyan’s hands were tightly locked around her.

Aunt Liu quickened her pace, pushing the wheelchair swiftly toward their destination. Her gaze stayed fixed straight ahead—not daring to glance down at all, for fear of seeing something she shouldn’t.
