Pair A? No Thanks! [Transmigration] - Chapter 20
The dominance of a top Alpha was a bit too much for Jiang Ningran, who had pretended to be an Omega for years. The biological instinct that forced her to submit filled her with a sense of humiliation. Jiang Ningran’s face contorted. The once-pure and cute features were now twisted and distorted. She reached out to try and pry away Shi Ning’s foot from her face, but Shi Ning chuckled, knelt down, and used her other foot to pin down Jiang Ningran’s wrist.
The woman was truly unapologetic and showed no mercy, her eyes filled with a bit of madness and ruthlessness. As she knelt down to look at Jiang Ningran, her gaze was filled with the kind of arrogance that made Jiang Ningran’s envy burn to the core.
Shi Ning rested her elbow on her knee and her chin in her palm, looking at Jiang Ningran as if she were a toy: “I asked you a question, did you not hear me?”
When Jiang Ningran spoke, her voice was a sick, twisted mess. Even in this state, she could still laugh, a sharp, grating laugh that echoed through the room: “Shi Ning, Senior Shi, you’re protecting Su Wanxing so much, what, have you already slept with her? You’re a rotten person anyway, and Su Wanxing, ha, a dog can’t change its ways. It seems that even if I stop everything, she’ll still get involved with you.”
Shi Ning rolled her eyes in a way that resembled actress Liu Mintao. She took a deep breath, and then, unable to hold back, she started to lash out at Jiang Ningran: “I’ve been listening for a long time, and I can’t figure out which sentence from your dog mouth was in Chinese.”
“I’m telling you, is there something wrong with your logic? Do you have severe brainstem loss? I’m a normal person, and when a normal person sees a lunatic bullying a young girl, is there a problem with me stepping in? Do you have fucking persecutory delusions? Seeing an Alpha approach Su Wanxing means she’s interested in her and has slept with her?” Shi Ning sneered. “You told me to stay away from Su Wanxing earlier, so you like her?”
“I’m telling you, Jiang Ningran. The only thing I can hear in everything you say is that you hate her. Love? Don’t make me laugh. Jiang Ningran, your love is not worth mentioning.”
Shi Ning was, of course, saying this on purpose. She was a transmigrator and knew the plot, so she also knew the reason for Jiang Ningran’s madness. It was nothing more than being reborn from the world of the book and being unable to accept that her beloved crush had seven partners, and she wasn’t one of them.
Now that she had been reborn, regardless of whether Su Wanxing was the same person she had met in her previous life, or whether Su Wanxing had gone through the events she remembered, she was already looking at Su Wanxing through a biased lens.
Shi Ning had seen many people like Jiang Ningran when she was a lawyer. They would hold on to someone’s past mistakes to demean them, standing on a moral high ground and waving the flag of love, but their actions were just for their own selfish gain.
What’s more, Su Wanxing hadn’t even made a mistake yet.
She hadn’t done anything wrong.
In real life, Su Wanxing wasn’t even following the plot.
And even if she were, that would be Su Wanxing’s personal freedom. In the novel, the seven partners were all doing well, so what did that have to do with Jiang Ningran? Wasn’t she just mad that she wasn’t one of the seven?
Jiang Ningran was going crazy, wasn’t she just trying to use the events of her previous life to emotionally manipulate Su Wanxing?
Since she thought she loved Su Wanxing so much, Shi Ning was going to make her see that in this world, she, Jiang Ningran, wasn’t worthy of saying the word “love.”
As expected, when Shi Ning started to judge her feelings for Su Wanxing, Jiang Ningran began to struggle madly. After Shi Ning coolly restrained her, her eyes turned red with fury. She screamed at the top of her lungs: “I forbid you from saying that!”
“What do you know!!”
“I’ve loved her for so many years!! I’ve watched over her for so many years!! I’ve given so much for her!! Why does she get to fall in love with other people?! And be with so many people, and—”
Shi Ning slapped Jiang Ningran across the face: “You’re like a fly, so noisy.”
“Tell me, what did you give for her?”
Shi Ning racked her brain for the original plot, but all she could remember was Jiang Ningran getting drunk for Su Wanxing, being with other women, desperately looking for substitutes, while also resenting Su Wanxing, and finally capturing and imprisoning her, and even attempting to cut out her scent gland.
After thinking about it, she couldn’t see what she had actually “given.”
Hearing Jiang Ningran’s words, the sobbing Su Wanxing was stunned. She clutched the pack of tissues Shi Ning had given her, the plastic wrapper rustling in her hand. Su Wanxing’s lips were tight as she looked at Jiang Ningran: “So, you, like me, also know everything?”
Jiang Ningran froze, then suddenly burst into loud laughter: “Su Wanxing, Su Wanxing, is this the will of heaven? For you and me to return to this moment.” After saying this, her eyes became manic, and she muttered, “I know now, my love must have moved the heavens. He gave me this chance for us to go back to the past, for us to be together.”
Shi Ning really couldn’t control her eye roll. But she didn’t want to reveal her identity as a transmigrator, so she pretended to be ignorant, saying nothing. She turned to look at Su Wanxing, and seeing the expression on her face, she knew she had something to say.
Su Wanxing hesitated for a long time, then lowered her head and said softly: “Ms. Shi… sister, please let her go.”
Shi Ning raised an eyebrow in surprise: “Are you sure?”
Su Wanxing nodded slightly: “I have some things I want to say to her.”
Shi Ning glanced at Jiang Ningran: “It’s fine, she can hear you even with me standing on her like this.”
Su Wanxing: “But…”
Shi Ning began her act: “I don’t know what you two youngsters mean by ‘last life’ and ‘the heavens,’ but Su Wanxing, I’m telling you. The way she just treated you, once it happens, it will happen a second time.” Shi Ning lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions, and deliberately made her tone not sound overly heavy. “I don’t care what you’re thinking, Su Wanxing.”
“The things she just said and the actions she took are unforgivable.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Su Wanxing, who had been crying uncontrollably, now felt all the fear and worry that had accumulated since she learned the plot pour out. She was wronged and cried with a tear-streaked face: “But, but Sister Shi, I was the one who initiated those things.”
“That day at the camp, I suddenly went into heat and begged Jiang Ningran to temporarily mark me. Even the first time I saw you, I was the one who went out drinking with Jiang Ningran, and I couldn’t control myself, so I begged her to go to a hotel. I—”
Su Wanxing didn’t dare to finish her sentence.
She was so scared.
Ever since she learned that she might be with seven women in the future, she felt terrified. It wasn’t exciting at all, and she didn’t want this to happen. Just thinking about seven people doing those things to her made her feel so dirty… She was so scared. Scared that she might be that kind of person deep down, even if she firmly believed she was not the same as the person in the book. She was so scared, scared that she was just so promiscuous and craved those things, which was why she got involved with Jiang Ningran.
Su Wanxing wanted a normal life.
Not one that would suddenly appear in her mind, a life that might belong to “her.”
Shi Ning let out a soft sigh. She wanted to say something, but she felt her current position was too awkward. Just as she was thinking about what to do, her phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and saw it was a WeChat call from Su Tianxue.
Oh boy.
Shi Ning looked at the screen and said: “Um, wait for me for a bit.”
She reached down, unbuckled the belt on her newly changed jeans, and tied it directly around Jiang Ningran’s wrists, securing them tightly so she couldn’t move.
Su Wanxing was baffled, blinking her eyes.
Jiang Ningran was tied up and leaned against the wall, struggling immensely, yelling: “Shi Ning, are you crazy? Didn’t you hear what Su Wanxing said? It was her who initiated it!! She seduced me!! Why are you tying me up?”
Shi Ning frowned: “You’re so loud.”
She looked at the continuously ringing phone, then at the squawking Jiang Ningran, and gave up. She swung her hand and delivered a sharp chop to the occipital bone at the back of Jiang Ningran’s neck. The first blow didn’t knock her out.
Shi Ning: “What a pain.”
She put down her phone, raised her hand, and gave Jiang Ningran several more continuous chops. Finally, Jiang Ningran passed out.
“Phew—” Shi Ning shook her arm. It wasn’t easy to knock someone out, even with a martial arts movie move. It really took some effort the first time.
Su Wanxing was completely stunned: “Shi…”
“Shh.” Shi Ning put her finger to her lips, then raised a smile and answered the call. “Hello, sis… old sis, what do you need?”
Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, while beside her lay a heavily beaten and unconscious Jiang Ningran with her wrists tied up.
Su Tianxue’s voice sounded calm: “I’m almost at the research institute. Is everything okay at home?”
Shi Ning gently raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Wanxing, meaning that how she would answer depended on Su Wanxing’s wishes.
