This Scumbag Alpha Is a Little Sweet (GL) - Chapter 14

Perhaps noticing Lin Yihan’s unease, Ning Zishu’s parents didn’t continue talking to her for too long. They maintained a distance that wouldn’t make her nervous, their timing just right.

Not being forced to continue small talk made Lin Yihan feel relieved. She sat quietly next to Ning Zishu, acting as a wallflower and listening to Ning Zishu and her parents chat.

Although Lin Yihan didn’t talk much, she didn’t feel out of place in the room. The Ning family didn’t seem to be secretly rejecting her, which greatly eased the nervousness in Lin Yihan’s heart.

The atmosphere among the Ning family was very good. Lin Yihan could see that Ning Zishu’s father, just like his elegant appearance suggested, was a very gentle person.

And although Ning Zishu’s mother had a somewhat firm tone, she was actually asking about Ning Zishu’s life, like their food preferences and whether their daily routines clashed.

If it weren’t for the things the original owner had done to the Ning family, which made Lin Yihan feel so guilty, maybe she could have acted as naturally as she did in front of her friends’ parents.

But that was the problem. Lin Yihan, who was not a lively or outgoing person, couldn’t pretend to be an extrovert in front of them.

Fortunately, the original owner had always been silent and reserved in front of others, so Ning Zishu’s parents didn’t notice her abnormality right away.

However, Lin Yihan could now somewhat understand why the original owner treated Ning Zishu that way in the future.

It was nothing more than jealousy.

The original owner wasn’t close to her parents. After she differentiated into an Alpha, her parents placed high hopes on her to inherit the family business, especially since her sister, Lin Yiquan, was only a Beta.

But the original owner actually didn’t like studying or her second gender. But she couldn’t say it out loud and could only keep it all inside.

As her body gradually developed, the original owner grew to despise her second gender even more, while her parents were very happy about it.

The original owner only felt it was ironic. Her mindset and personality gradually became distorted. When she went to college out of town and left the Lin family, she began to use inhibitors frantically, suppressing her Alpha nature.

And that was when she met Ning Zishu, who had an extremely high compatibility rate with her.

Ning Zishu was so great. She not only had loving parents and was looked up to by everyone, but she also had the ability to bear their expectations and was at ease with her identity as an S-class Omega.

How could the original owner not be jealous to the point of hatred?

Even though being with Ning Zishu would make her loathe herself even more, the original owner wanted to have everything that belonged to Ning Zishu.

This was Lin Yihan’s interpretation of the original owner’s mental transformation after reviewing her memories many times. It was so reasonable, yet so ridiculous.

Of course, Lin Yihan wouldn’t sympathize with the original owner because of this. Even if she was in pain, she should never vent it on an innocent person. She also couldn’t deceive someone’s feelings and then emotionally and physically abuse her partner after marriage.

For the original owner, who had a twisted attitude of both hating and being proud of her “noble” S-class identity, the most painful punishment wasn’t death, but the loss of all her money, power, and status.

Was there anything more torturous than making her sweep toilets?

Lin Yihan scoffed in her heart. Ning Zishu knew the original owner better than anyone else.

Her end was well-deserved.

But now, Ning Zishu would never have to endure such torment. She would have a true partner who was worthy of her and would shine in the field she loved. She would be loved by everyone.

Not only that, Lin Yihan also didn’t plan to fulfill her parents’ expectations in this world and compete with her older sister, Lin Yiquan, for the family inheritance.

Lin Yihan knew exactly what she was capable of. She was a deadbeat. Not to mention managing a company, she even needed Ning Zishu’s help to fix her graduation thesis. With her level of competence, competing with the very capable Lin Yiquan for the heir position?

It would be a miracle if she didn’t drive the Lin family into bankruptcy. It was better not to cause such a disaster.

She didn’t have high standards for her life anyway. She could just find a regular job and coast along.

Lin Yihan, lost in her thoughts about her future plans, didn’t notice that Ning Zishu was quietly watching her.

Ning Zishu’s eyes held a hint of confusion. What was this child just thinking about? Why did her expression turn so cold?

That expression was just like the original Lin Yihan’s and only made Ning Zishu remember her hateful past.

Ning Zishu didn’t want to see an expression she despised on the current Lin Yihan’s face.

“Dad, Mom, I’m going shopping with Yihan. We’ll leave for today and come back to see you when we have time,” Ning Zishu took Lin Yihan’s hand and said goodbye to her parents.

Lin Yihan came back to reality and also said goodbye to Ning Zishu’s parents.

“Uncle and Auntie, we should get going. You can contact us anytime if you need anything. Thank you for worrying about me.”

“Okay, don’t worry too much about us. Have a good time.”

The parents didn’t look unhappy. In fact, her mother visibly became happy when she saw Ning Zishu take Lin Yihan’s hand. She smiled and told them to be careful not to get wet.

After thanking them, Lin Yihan and Ning Zishu walked out of the room holding hands. But what they didn’t know was that after they gently closed the door, the parents in the hospital room started to talk about them.

“It seems that Xiao Shu likes Xiao Lin more than she lets on, hehe,” her father took off his glasses, wiped them with a tissue, and put them back on with a light chuckle.

“You didn’t see it? At the door just now, Xiao Shu was actually pinching Xiao Lin’s face. She was so shy her face turned red,” her mother opened the fruit basket Ning Zishu and Lin Yihan had brought and picked out a plump, round orange. She easily peeled it, and the sweet and sour scent of the orange wafted through the room.

“I thought Xiao Shu would suppress her dominant nature in front of Xiao Lin,” her father took half an orange from her mother and shook his head with a smile. “But Xiao Lin has really changed a lot. She’s much softer than the last time I saw her.”

Ning Zishu’s mother didn’t notice that her partner’s tone was particularly meaningful when he said that.

“It’s her ability to take the lead in a family. So what if she’s an Omega? Who says an Omega has to be weaker than an Alpha?”

“Coming from you, an Alpha, that’s not very convincing.”

“As long as my daughter is happy, I don’t care about anything else…”

Ning Zishu didn’t know what her parents were saying behind her back. She just subconsciously tightened her grip on Lin Yihan’s hand when no one was looking.

After confirming that her parents couldn’t see them, Lin Yihan used the excuse of getting the umbrella to pull her hand away from Ning Zishu’s.

“Big sister, where are we going? It’s almost noon. Let’s find a place to eat first.”

Ning Zishu looked at Lin Yihan next to her. Her face was now back to its innocent, curious expression, with no trace of the coldness from before.

Ning Zishu’s eyelids lowered, concealing her thoughts, and she answered her question with a light smile.

“Since you don’t like the rain, let’s go near the commercial building. You won’t get wet. The building has restaurants with different cuisines and an underground food street, but the food street has too many people. If we go, we have to avoid peak tourist hours.”

“Oh, then let’s just find a random restaurant. It’s not safe with too many people around.”

Although Lin Yihan was very curious about the food and snacks of this world, she didn’t want to experience the feeling of her pheromones going haywire and fainting again. If she went into a frenzy on the street, she might not even wake up. She might even be taken down on the spot.

Maybe it was because Lin Yihan had a more embarrassing experience, so this time, when she was half-embraced by Ning Zishu under the same umbrella, she no longer felt shy. Instead, she was much more relaxed.

Lin Yihan had figured it out. Even just based on their personalities and abilities, she and Ning Zishu were from two different worlds.

Although Ning Zishu had to live with her now, she clearly didn’t have feelings of “love” for her.

And rather than seeing her as a friend, Ning Zishu was more like a big sister taking care of her, without any flirtatious intentions. If you ignored their Alpha and Omega identities, they were just ordinary roommates.

What’s the big deal with holding hands or hugging? Her roommate used to sneak attack her in the middle of the night and try to sleep in the same bed as her. Lin Yihan was used to this level of physical contact.

Just stay calm.

Lin Yihan remained calm, but Ning Zishu was surprised by her action of hugging her, and she felt a little uneasy.

Why did her attitude suddenly change?

What in the world was she thinking just now when she was spacing out?
