Wearing "Scum A" Marks The Crazy And Beautiful Boss - Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Her mind was spinning like a windmill, and even her steps were a bit unsteady as she entered. The moment the door opened, a faint fragrance filled her nostrils — like lilies.
Then, she saw a woman sitting on a European-style chair beside the large bed.
Tea-colored long curly hair, a white suspender mini dress far above the knees, her hands tied behind her back, accentuating her curves — probably a C cup.
As for her face, it was undeniably that of a stunningly beautiful woman.
Cheng Jiqing’s throat felt dry, and her body was overwhelmed by a strange sensation. “Who arranged for you to come here?”
She leaned on the nearby clothes rack, her voice hoarse.
She had only shown a little more interest in women during an interview, hadn’t she? This was already the second time someone had been sent to her door. The last time, she had almost been trapped by a bitter rival.
But this time was too much—tying her up to mess with her? Was this crazy?
She noticed the other woman squinting, her gaze locked on Cheng Jiqing, with a dangerous and hazy look in her eyes, much like the floral scent in the room.
The woman bit her lip but remained silent, her breathing matching Cheng Jiqing’s in rhythm.
Cheng Jiqing wanted to ask where the cameras were, but the lily scent suddenly flared up like fire, making her whole body feel hot and itchy, especially the back of her neck…
She had heard that lilies could be poisonous if left indoors too long.
Cheng Jiqing suspected she might have been poisoned.
Just as her clarity faded into numbness, she felt the poison spreading rapidly. She couldn’t stand straight anymore and had to lean against the wall.
Her body was itchy, like something was trying to rush out, but she couldn’t pinpoint the exact spot. Irritably, she felt the fabric on her body was incredibly obstructive.
…
Bai Xin bit her tongue lightly, regaining a bit of her consciousness amidst the haze.
Unfortunately, that little clarity was quickly overwhelmed by the Alpha alcohol and a faint floral scent. The sweet pheromone assault was like a tidal wave, overwhelming her.
Bai Xin’s face turned red, her body drenched in a mixture of weakness and suppressed sweat.
She looked at the Alpha leaning against the wall, wearing a midriff-baring top, with a milky white bead bracelet on her wrist. Her fingers were scratching at her neck in frustration.
When Bai Xin was tied up, in her daze, she had heard the person tying her say that Cheng Jiqing had brought her here to take her virginity.
This naivety mixed with impatience made her seem like a foolish kid, more clueless about her own glands than anything else.
Bai Xin’s body felt utterly weak, but her eyes held a dark, intense hatred — Cheng Jiqing, I will definitely kill you.
Her breath trembled like a fish stranded on shore.
She knew no one would rescue her except herself… With her mating season at its peak, Bai Xin squeezed out the last bit of strength.
“Cheng Jiqing.”
Cheng Jiqing heard someone call her name.
At that point, she was already dazed, vaguely hearing a soft, lover-like voice speaking to her.
“Untie me, I’ll help you…”
“Aren’t you going to mark me?”
“Come here.”
Cheng Jiqing didn’t know what marking meant, but that soft voice said it would help her. Dizzy, she followed her instincts.
The moment she untied the woman—
“Bang—”
Cheng Jiqing’s back hit the floor hard. The pain brought some clarity back. She looked up to see the woman on the chair, straddling her waist, looking down at her.
By instinct, she grabbed the woman’s wrists and restrained her with ease, despite her foggy mind. Her strength was still there.
Cheng Jiqing met the woman’s gaze and muttered, “Why so fierce? You’re hurting me.”
Although Bai Xin was above her, seemingly dominating, the moment their bodies touched, her mind went blank for two seconds. In that instant, she seemed unusually compliant when Cheng Jiqing held her wrists.
Her body suddenly went limp.
Bai Xin’s heart pounded violently.
Just one touch, and the Omega’s heat peak was triggered by the intoxicating scent of the Alpha’s pheromones.
From Cheng Jiqing’s perspective, the woman actively threw herself onto her, sweat mixing with her own.
The lily scent grew even clearer.
Rich but not overpowering, like a spring breeze, fresh yet dangerously seductive.
The poison was incredibly potent, capable of controlling minds. Cheng Jiqing thought.
She was probably about to give in.
Her goodness and kindness were on the verge of breaking.
— I’ve acted for so many years, can’t I just enjoy it a little?
— No, it’s all part of the family’s conspiracy!
— But I can’t hold on anymore.
— This is a trap!
Her mind seemed to be battling between good and evil, fierce and chaotic, when suddenly, the woman moved, warm breath entering her neck.
The woman, like a kitten, nuzzled her hair, emitting broken sounds from her throat.
Cheng Jiqing had never been with anyone, let alone a woman, but right now, she wanted to try.
Just before she did, in her confused state, after inhaling that lethal lily scent, she whispered:
“No, this room is poisoned.”
Cheng Jiqing vaguely carried the woman into a well-ventilated room.
Cheng Jiqing was woken by the cold air.
She slowly opened her eyes; the dazzling light poured in through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. After a few seconds, her vision adjusted. The breath on her chest, the fragile body in her arms, and the torn clothes all reminded her of what happened last night.
Cheng Jiqing choked up. Ridiculously, they weren’t even in the room anymore, but on a balcony with two-sided ventilation and a perfect view.
The only fabric on them was the suspender hanging from her ankle.
Cheng Jiqing: “…”
For a moment, she remembered the woman pressed against the window, her wet hair, and the reflection of her intense eyes on the glass.
Neon lights, the night ablaze — insignificant compared to beauty.
Maybe when she loosened her grip, the temperature dropped, and the woman shrank.
Cheng Jiqing sighed, thinking it was inappropriate to dwell on this now. Even if it was a conspiracy, it was useless now.
After all, they really had slept together, so there was responsibility — at least for now.
She carried the woman to the large bed, pulled a corner of the blanket, and before she could withdraw her hand, the woman suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her down hard, like a nightmare clutching at a lifeline.
Cheng Jiqing was confused but kept holding her.
The pull made her muscles ache.
Looking down, the woman’s eyelashes curled like feathers, her skin pale and cold, her lips a pale pink — the color of lilies.
Lilies.
Cheng Jiqing took a deep breath, then another, finally realizing that the lily scent was coming from the woman herself…
Unlike the artificial smell of perfume.
The scent was natural and mesmerizing.
Cheng Jiqing shook her head. She should put on some clothes and stop being seduced. She needed to quickly discuss with her manager how to handle this. She had only been famous for two years, and the mortgage on her villa was still outstanding…
In the brief moment of thought, she gently laid the woman down and covered her with the blanket.
But the moment she let go, a new memory — not hers — suddenly flooded her mind. Moreover, she discovered something supernatural — she seemed to have transmigrated into a book.
It was a book she had read, called Savage Backlash, a BL (female-female romance) ABO novel.
Though it was a novel, it had elements based on real people, and unfortunately, she was one of those real people.
Her character was a spoiled sister, arrogant and rude, often hanging around with trashy friends. When the spoiled sister set her sights on the married female lead, Qin Yufu, her trashy friends conspired, pressured, and drugged her repeatedly.
Eventually, under family pressure and the spoiled sister’s mental torment, the female lead was forced to divorce her ex-wife, Bai Xin.
But the female lead didn’t give in. In this situation, the spoiled sister, following a friend’s advice, crazily decided to kidnap her.
After bringing the female lead to the villa, they both entered heat under the influence of an inducer, and then the spoiled sister forcibly marked her.
What ending could a cannon-fodder spoiled sister expect? The usual routine.
Though successful, two years later, her family went bankrupt, and they became homeless and destitute.
The spoiled sister was dragged into an alley and had her glands surgically removed while fully conscious.
Cheng Jiqing still remembered the description —
She was in unbearable pain, her body and soul torn apart, no longer belonging to herself. Her headgear was removed.
A beautiful white hand entered her view, nails painted with dazzling lacquer.
Cheng Jiqing widened her eyes — it was Bai Xin!
She couldn’t move and could only watch as Bai Xin smiled, her pale lips curling, her dimples showing on her left cheek, raising the deadly surgical knife.
At that moment, seeing this, she felt sympathy for “herself” and was shocked by the female lead’s ex-wife’s crazed nature.
Honestly, she admired this ex-wife a bit.
So even though “she” jumped off the building and died, she still kept watching to see the relationship between the female lead and ex-wife unfold.
But when the female lead and the ex-wife eventually got their revenge on the evil character, she stopped reading.
Perhaps it was because of the CP (couple pairing), the tragic ending, or simply because she thought Bai Xin had an interesting allure.
She had heard there was a shocking twist at the end, but she never had the chance to find out — she just fainted after wrapping up a scene, and her assistant took her to the hotel, and in that brief moment… she transmigrated.
Cheng Jiqing changed into some clothes and sat on the bed, contemplating for a while. She looked down at the white jade bodhi bracelet on her wrist — exactly the same. Then she hesitated and touched her chest, checking it — average size, nothing had changed.
Somehow, she felt a bit relieved that at least this “real” reference was accurate.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the faint moans of the woman in bed. Slowly, her intelligence began to recover.
When she looked at the woman again, Cheng Jiqing felt complicated emotions welling up inside her. If she guessed correctly, the woman in bed was Qin Yufu, the female lead, who had been kidnapped by the original character…
Cheng Jiqing carefully covered the woman’s neck, where the marks remained, then gently guarded her, waiting for her to open her foggy eyes.
When the woman fully opened them, Cheng Jiqing politely greeted her.
“Hello, Miss Qin…”
She originally planned to show that, from her point of view, if it were her, she would definitely seek revenge. But for now, at least she was trying to approach the conversation amicably.
Little did she know, after hearing the greeting, the woman on the bed shot her a deadly look and asked: “What did you just call me?”
Author’s note:
Bai Xin: “After sleeping with you, you dare call me by someone else’s name? You’re trash!”
