The Scumbag Alpha's Redemption in a Sweet Romance - Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Ning Chun rubbed her temples. “I didn’t know she was here. I drank too much these past two days.”

Yan Hua was clearly not satisfied with her answer.

“I’ll go find her tomorrow and ask her what’s going on.” Ning Chun rubbed her neck and got up. “I’m feeling really bad. I need to take a shower first.”

Ning Chun quickly ran away, skillfully dodging Yan Hua’s outstretched hand.

The bathroom door slammed shut with a bang. Yan Hua chuckled. She only wanted to help her straighten her collar. Did she have to run away so fast?

The hot water washed away the fatigue from her body. The water flowed down from the showerhead, wetting her hair.

Water droplets slid down from her brow bone, along her jawline, and onto her collarbone. Ning Chun’s skin was steamed a light pink. She wiped the water from her face and grabbed a bathrobe to put on.

When she came out, Yan Hua was opening a box.

“The porridge is still hot. Come and have some.”

Ning Chun looked at the porridge. Her stomach was indeed a little hungry.

She sat on the sofa, picked up a spoon, and took a bite. It was savory and delicious.

“What kind of porridge is this? It’s pretty good.”

Yan Hua looked at her dripping hair and got up. “I don’t know. Xiao Zhao bought it for you. Remember to give her a raise.”

Ning Chun nodded and took another bite.

As a leader, she couldn’t let her subordinates pay for her.

“What’s this?” Ning Chun scooped up a round, white thing with her spoon.

Yan Hua took her spoon, tasted it, and said, “It’s scallops. This is seafood porridge. Don’t you love seafood? How can you not recognize this?”

Ning Chun looked at the spoon that was put back in her hand, feeling a sudden warmth.

Yan Hua saw her staring blankly and couldn’t help but urge her. “Hurry up and eat.”

“Oh, okay.” Ning Chun lowered her head and drank a few more mouthfuls. It was a little hot.

Following the principle of not wasting food, Ning Chun finished all the porridge. The porridge was very warming, and she felt warm all over after drinking it.

“Come here.” Yan Hua called her to the side of the bed. She was holding a hairdryer and looking for a power outlet.

Was she going to help her dry her hair?

Ning Chun ruffled her wet hair. It would dry on its own after she slept. There was no need for all that trouble.

“No need to dry it. It’ll dry on its own.”

Yan Hua’s face immediately turned cold. “You’d better come here right now.”

“Fine.” Ning Chun finally sat on the edge of the bed.

Yan Hua moved all her hair from her chest to her back. She used a soft towel to absorb the water droplets from the ends of her hair.

The shampoo had a light citrus scent that was not too sweet, but rather refreshing.

Yan Hua took a strand of wet hair in her hand and blew it with warm air. She was calm and gentle, as if she was afraid of pulling Ning Chun’s hair roots.

Ning Chun’s hair looked black, but up close, the ends had a faint brown color. Her hair was thick and voluminous, so it would take a while to dry.

Ning Chun was getting restless. Her back was stiff, and she was still bargaining. “I think it’s dry enough. Let the rest dry on its own.”

The hairdryer stopped. Ning Chun had just stood up when her shoulders were held down, and she sat back down.

“Don’t move.”

Yan Hua used the hair oil provided by the hotel, which smelled of roses. She took some out, rubbed it in her palms, and carefully applied it to Ning Chun’s hair.

As she was applying it, she said, “Do you ever take care of your hair? The quality doesn’t seem very good.”

In Ning Chun’s mind, the most she would do was keep it clean and hygienic. She didn’t even use conditioner when she washed her hair, let alone hair oil.

“It’s too much trouble,” she said, wiggling her body.

“It’ll be done soon.”

Yan Hua completely dried her hair and then combed it all out.

“Look, isn’t it shiny?” She held a strand of hair in her hand for her to see.

Under the indoor light, it was indeed very shiny.

“Ning Chun, to be honest, you’re not very good at living.” Yan Hua said suddenly.

Hearing this, Ning Chun’s heart thumped. Most of her life habits were formed in the apocalypse. Even though she had been suppressing her instincts and learning how others behaved since she came here, she still felt like it wasn’t enough.

Sometimes she was even afraid of being exposed.

But this world was so far from the apocalypse that no one would believe her if she told them.

But she was still afraid, afraid that she would be seen as a monster from another world if they found out.

“You’re always taking care of others, but you’re not very good at taking care of yourself.” Yan Hua got up and put the things back in their original place.

So that’s what she meant.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go to sleep.” Ning Chun lifted the blanket and was about to lie down.

By the time Yan Hua finished her wash and came out, she had already closed her eyes and was pretending to be asleep.

Yan Hua suddenly had a naughty idea. She lay down next to her and reached for her waist.

Ning Chun’s thoughts were gradually slowing down, but the sudden touch on her waist instantly woke her up. The slow movement through the fabric was heart-wrenching and itching, and it felt very ticklish.

She had planned to pretend to be asleep, but it seemed she couldn’t anymore.

Ning Chun grabbed her wrist, turned around, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Aren’t you curious about how I came here to find you during my estrus period?”

Ning Chun blinked and let go of her wrist. Of course, she was curious, and not just curious, but also very worried.

“A double dose of suppressant. It hurts a lot.” Although Yan Hua was smiling, there was no happiness in her eyes.

“Then…” Ning Chun swallowed. Her eyes fell on her slightly low neckline.

At this moment, with beauty in front of her, she was also…

Ning Chun clearly…

Yan Hua lifted her hair, revealing her pink scent gland. “Then… why don’t you bite me?”

Yan Hua pushed her shoulder, and Ning Chun fell back into the blanket.

“I just injected you with hangover medicine. The effect hasn’t worn off, so I can’t mark you,” Yan Hua said, glaring at her, as if to say, “Are you doing this on purpose?”

Ning Chun hadn’t even thought of that and was still foolishly asking, “Then what should we do?”

“Anyway, the estrus period is almost over. Just stay with me for these two days.” Yan Hua lay down next to her. Ning Chun soothingly stroked her hair, and her wrist accidentally touched a hard patch, which was a suppressant patch.

“I’ve never played in this city before. I heard you went to college here. I really want to go and see it.”

Ning Chun’s fingers paused. Go to her university? Then she had to prepare in advance.

“Okay. Let’s go the day after tomorrow. We’ll go when your estrus period is completely over.”

The next day, Ning Chun had a brief meeting with her colleagues. They checked on their progress and, after confirming there were no problems, she told them to go back first and stayed to accompany Yan Hua.

Although they were gossipy, they didn’t ask on the spot.

Instead, after leaving the hotel, they surrounded Xiao Zhao and asked about the situation.

Xiao Zhao’s lips were sealed. She only gave some irrelevant answers. She had to protect her leader’s reputation to the end.

While accompanying Yan Hua, Ning Chun received two calls. One was from Kan Yu, who wanted to tell her some shocking gossip. Ning Chun wasn’t in the mood to listen. Yan Hua was in a daze, and her body temperature wouldn’t go down. She was going crazy with worry.

When her temperature finally went down, she was a little dehydrated. After feeding her and giving her water for a long time, Yan Hua finally became completely sober, but she said, “I have no energy. I want to sleep a little longer.”

Kan Yu called again. Ning Chun went to the living room to answer.

As soon as the call connected, Kan Yu’s voice came through. “Cousin, you finally answered! Do you know why Song Xiaoran came back to the country?”

“Don’t you have anything else to talk about? I’m hanging up.”

“Wait, wait. This has something to do with you.” Kan Yu stopped her. “An older classmate of mine who is a medical Ph.D. abroad contacted me a few days ago. She said that Song Xiaoran came back after she was dumped abroad.”

“Are you saying she had a partner when she was abroad?” Ning Chun’s brows furrowed, and her expression became serious.

“That’s right. Her ex’s family is very powerful. They work for a top-ranked international bank and provided a lot of financial help for her family’s business. No wonder they developed so quickly.”

“What are you trying to say?”

Kan Yu lowered her voice. “Cousin, do you remember the night before Song Xiaoran went abroad, you went to great lengths to confess to her?”

“Yes,” Ning Chun replied.

“Actually, they were already together at that time, which is why you were rejected.”

“Oh.”

Kan Yu couldn’t believe Ning Chun’s reaction would be so calm. That was a blatant insult.

Or was it because she truly had no feelings for her anymore?

“Anyway, Cousin, you have to be careful of her. She’s changed. She’ll do anything for her family’s business. Being too opportunistic is not a good thing. And her ex got married right after dumping her, which shows that he wasn’t sincere with her. I’m afraid Song Xiaoran will do something bad to you out of revenge.” Kan Yu rambled on and on.

“I’m already married. She can’t do anything to me.”

“Oh, I’m just worried about you. I’m telling you, if Auntie finds out about this, she will never agree to Song Xiaoran marrying into the Ning family. Using her body to…”

“That’s enough, Xiao Yu.” Ning Chun interrupted her. “I’m outside right now and have something very important to do. I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.”

Shortly after the call ended, Ning Qing called. “I have a very important guest to host, but my house hasn’t been lived in for a long time and feels lifeless, so I’ve sent them to your place for now. Please take good care of them.”

“For how long?” Ning Chun frowned. Couldn’t they just stay in a hotel?

“About two days.”

She and Yan Hua would also be back in about two days, so they probably wouldn’t run into each other. “Then you can tell the butler to help take care of them.”

Ning Qing was in a good mood and happily replied, “Okay.”

“You’ve been spending a lot of money and hosting guests recently. What exactly are you busy with?” Infected by Ning Qing’s mood, Ning Chun’s mood also improved a little.

Ning Qing was being mysterious. “You’ll know in a few days. You’ll definitely be amazed by her.”

“Who cares? I’m hanging up.”

Yan Hua was calling her from the room. Ning Chun turned off her phone and walked in quickly. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m thirsty. I want to drink some water.” Yan Hua’s hair was a little messy, but her eyes were bright, and she seemed to be in good spirits.

Ning Chun poured her a glass of warm water and stroked her forehead. It was no longer hot.

After drinking the water, Yan Hua reached out and put her arms around her neck, resting her chin on her shoulder.

This kind of sudden intimacy still made Ning Chun feel flustered.

She was like a statue, unable to move. She could only use all her senses to feel Yan Hua. Her subtle movements and shallow breathing were magnified infinitely, inch by inch.

Ning Chun could even hear her own heartbeat. It was getting louder.

Yan Hua smelled the scent on her and felt very comfortable. “You smell so good. Can I have you made into a perfume to carry with me?”
