The Scumbag Alpha's Redemption in a Sweet Romance - Chapter 20

Chapter 20

A few messages from Yan Hua popped up on her phone.

Where are you? Let’s meet.

I’m waiting for you at the coffee shop.

We need to sit down and talk properly.

Ning Chun, reply to my message.

Ning Chun lay on the marble floor, her vision blurry. She could only see the flickering light from the screen. She endured the pain and tried to reach for her phone but couldn’t. Her body was nearing its limit, and her vision was getting darker. In the end, the world went silent.

…

At the cafe with a sea view, Yan Hua sat by the window, with no mind to appreciate the blue scenery. The things she had received in her email frightened her, and the heart she had worked so hard to harden was once again shaken. Written documents could be faked, but what about a video? If her mother’s car accident was really caused by Ning Chun, then the Ning family must have known and were all helping Ning Chun deceive her. Yan Hua didn’t dare to think about it further—that such a warm family could all be liars.

She sat in the cafe for a long time. The waiter asked her several times if she needed anything. The sky was getting dark, and Yan Hua unlocked her phone. She hadn’t received any messages from Ning Chun. Instead, she had a new email from abroad. The sender was Mu Fengqing, her childhood friend. Mu Fengqing had gone abroad a few years ago for further studies but had always kept Yan Hua in mind, sending gifts back every holiday. But this time, the email wasn’t to remind Yan Hua to pick up a gift; it was to tell her that she was coming back to the country soon.

Yan Hua was about to write a reply when a call came in. It was from the housekeeper. She sounded worried and pleading. “Miss Yan, please come back as soon as you can. Miss Ning has locked herself in her room all afternoon. It sounds like she’s throwing things in there. Please come back and check on her.”

Ning Chun was at home? She had time to throw things but not to reply to her message?

The hours of her unconsciousness passed quickly. When she opened her eyes, it felt like she had been gone for ages. Four whole hours had passed since Yan Hua had sent her a message. Ning Chun’s consciousness gradually returned. She rubbed her swollen temples and went into the bathroom. Her body was so dirty, and her hair was full of dust.

She took off her clothes one by one, revealing a back covered in small cuts. Taking off her undergarments was especially painful where they were stuck to her bl00d. Ning Chun gritted her teeth and ripped them off. The hot water washed away the dust, sand, and bl00d. Ning Chun looked at the showerhead and felt that something was strange, but the pain from her wounds kept distracting her, preventing her from thinking too much.

After her shower, she checked her wounds in the mirror. Only her abdomen and right shoulder were badly hurt. The other places were just scrapes and bruises that didn’t need special treatment. To make it easier to apply the medicine, she only wore a tank top and shorts. She propped one leg up and sat against the wall, making herself more comfortable.

Outside, Yan Hua hurried back in her heels. She knocked on the door hard. “Ning Chun, open the door.” The housekeeper stood by, anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. “It’s been so long. She hasn’t eaten or drunk anything, and she won’t come out. I hope nothing happened to Miss Ning.”

“Housekeeper, do you have a spare key?”

The housekeeper slapped her thigh. “Yes, yes! How could I forget? I’ll go get it right now.” The door was knocked on loudly. Inside the room, Ning Chun was still gritting her teeth, applying medicine to herself.

The negative after-effects of differentiation have ended. Congratulations, Host, your mental strength has been fully upgraded to B-rank.

Ning Chun listened to the system’s voice and cursed silently. Differentiating could literally kill a person from the pain. As expected, you had to endure more pain to level up.

The differentiation suppression is about to be lifted. Please prepare, Host.

Ning Chun didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just a normal notification. But in the next second, Ning Chun realized something was wrong. Her hand, which was wrapping a bandage around her waist, suddenly stopped. A strong heat surged from the back of her neck to her limbs. Even though she hadn’t experienced it firsthand, she knew the common sense of the ABO world. This was the prelude to a susceptible period. It had to come at a time like this.

Ning Chun had looked up information. Alphas in their susceptible period would have different levels of frenzy depending on the individual. During this stage, Alphas would temporarily lose consciousness and lose control of their behavior. They had to be soothed and relieved by a compatible Omega’s pheromones. Ning Chun complained to herself as she reached for the medical box. Who needs Omega pheromones? One shot of an inhibitor would solve the problem perfectly.

Her chest rose and fell violently. A drop of hot sweat dripped from her chin, fell on her collarbone, and slowly slid down her chest. Her originally pale skin turned pink, and a faint scent of herbs filled the room. It was a very gentle scent.

Ning Chun aimed the agent at her neck, feeling a little excited. She thought, “Today and every susceptible period after this, I will prove that you don’t need pheromones to soothe the heat.” She was going to personally prove that pheromonal soothing was a false proposition.

“Here’s the key.” The housekeeper wiped away her sweat and handed the key to the equally anxious Yan Hua.

Yan Hua quickly opened the door, but the sight inside made her freeze for a moment. Ning Chun was sitting on the floor, barely wearing any clothes, with her legs exposed. She was also acting strangely. Yan Hua quickly recognized the faint scent she was smelling. She turned and blocked the housekeeper who was trying to peek in. “I’ve got this. I’ll handle it.”

The door was closed tightly and locked. The housekeeper was confused, but it was a relief that Miss Yan was here and that Miss Ning was okay.

Inside the room, Ning Chun’s face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed. “What are you doing?” Yan Hua walked over to her, took the inhibitor from Ning Chun’s hand, and threw it aside. The agent rolled uncontrollably under the bed.

Yan Hua was very angry. She reached out and lifted Ning Chun’s chin. “Why didn’t you reply to my messages? Would you rather be in pain than tell me?”

Only a warm-toned lamp in the corner was on. As the sky darkened, the room became even more hazy. Hot sweat constantly beaded on Ning Chun’s forehead. She was also anxious. She didn’t understand why Yan Hua was talking without making a sound. Was she trying to get her to read her lips? She had no mental capacity for it. The glands in her mouth were constantly secreting fluid, stimulating her senses. Ning Chun’s throat was dry, and she wanted to bite someone.

“You know you’re in the wrong, too. You’re not even fighting back.” Yan Hua gave a self-deprecating laugh, her fingers moving over Ning Chun’s shoulder.

At this moment, Ning Chun’s entire body was hot. Every inch of her skin was extremely sensitive. A light touch would cause an immense reaction. Yan Hua was satisfied with her unbearable expression. Just as she was about to make a move, Ning Chun suddenly moved her chin away, escaping her control, and reached for the agent in the medical box.

Yan Hua was completely enraged. She moved her finger to the back of Ning Chun’s neck and poked her crimson gland a few times. Ning Chun whimpered in pain. The calm she had barely regained couldn’t be maintained. She didn’t understand why Yan Hua was provoking her while she was in a state of frenzy.

Her pale fingers clenched the inhibitor. Ning Chun was at the peak of desire. Her jaw ached. She stared at Yan Hua fiercely and laughed, her lips curving slightly. Then, she pounced on Yan Hua, pushing her against the edge of the bed and randomly biting her delicate chest.

“Get off!” Yan Hua was shocked and pushed her with all her might. She actually managed to push her away. Ning Chun fell back onto the floor. She was breathing rapidly, and her body temperature was astonishingly high. The cold floor briefly brought her back to her senses.

Ning Chun hated being controlled by desire. She resisted the trembling of her body, lifted the inhibitor, and desperately tried to control her shaking fingers to stab it into the back of her neck. But the life-saving inhibitor was snatched away by a pale finger, completely shattering Ning Chun’s last bit of sanity.

Physiological tears flowed from her tear-filled eyes. Ning Chun couldn’t control the release of her pheromones, and the room was filled with her unique scent. She closed her eyes, hoping she wouldn’t be too pathetic. But then, her nose caught a captivating aroma. This scent wasn’t hers, yet it was undeniably luring all her attention.

The scent of jasmine got stronger and stronger. Ning Chun’s frenzied symptoms were temporarily suppressed. She propped herself up and leaned against the wall. She thought to herself, it was a false proposition not to be tempted by a compatible Omega.

A pair of nude high heels stepped onto Ning Chun’s injured shoulder without mercy. A trace of bl00d seeped from the edge of the bandage.

“Are you conscious? Do you know who I am?” Yan Hua asked her, but she just stared, her gaze full of aggression. Ning Chun looked at the beautiful figure so close to her and the slender calf on her shoulder. She couldn’t help but swallow. Her eyes were fierce, devoid of all reason. Only possessiveness was at play.

Yan Hua was very dissatisfied with her reaction. She grabbed Ning Chun’s neck and forced her onto the bed. She pushed Ning Chun down, but Ning Chun quickly sat up, opening her mouth to bite Yan Hua’s neck. But Yan Hua wouldn’t let her have her way so easily. She wanted more contact, not a rough mark.

Yan Hua released more pheromones to soothe the frenzied Ning Chun. When she was off guard, she bit Ning Chun’s gland hard. The scent of jasmine kept injecting into her. Ning Chun felt like she was floating in warm water. It was so comfortable. Her state improved significantly. Ning Chun opened her eyes and found that her jaw was buried in Yan Hua’s shoulder. Their posture was very intimate. Her hand was wrapped around Yan Hua’s waist. Before she could let go, they were separated by a short distance.

In the dim light, Ning Chun’s vision was incredibly clear. She saw Yan Hua’s body. Then, her vision went dark. Her lips were gently touched by a finger. Finally, she was invaded inch by inch by a warm sensation. She and Yan Hua had kissed.

Knowing this fact, Ning Chun’s body became hot, and her temperature soared. Her head was also dizzy. It must be a dream, she thought. Otherwise, how could the female lead do something so intimate with her?

Ning Chun was completely frozen until Yan Hua brushed her long hair away in front of her. The gland on her neck was pink and alluring. Ning Chun subconsciously opened her mouth, and glandular fluid flowed from the corner of her lips. She took a long breath and heard a cold, disdainful laugh in her ear.

The warm breath was extremely provocative. Yan Hua leaned close to her ear and said with a tone of both hate and love, “I command you to mark me.”

Ning Chun’s fingertips dug into her palms, warning herself not to do it. This was something Yan Hua hated. Even in a dream, she couldn’t do it. But the strong pheromones made her lose all reason. She opened her mouth and bit down.
