After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Marked the Crazy Hotshot – Chapter 14

Change or Not?

The inhibitor left Bai Xin’s neck, and Cheng Jiqing heard a low groan.

She tossed the empty syringe onto the ground and held the weak Bai Xin steady.

            

Her arm circled the slender waist, letting Bai Xin lean her head back against her shoulder. She smelled the faint lily scent of the Omega.

Cheng Jiqing didn’t turn her head to look, only discerning from the heat and speed of the breathing that Bai Xin was breathing with slightly parted lips.

Her mouth felt a little dry, and she resisted swallowing, lest anyone think her thoughts at this moment were impure.

            

Although… she had indeed, in a certain moment, thought some random things.

If there were a mirror right now, Bai Xin could probably see her flushed face, her burning ear tips. Cheng Jiqing thought to herself.

Bai Xin waited two minutes before recovering. In her bag was the potent medicine Tang Jia had newly formulated two days ago, much faster-acting than ordinary inhibitors. Her breathing calmed down, and only then did she feel the air was too quiet, making the heartbeat pressing against her back particularly distinct.

            

Bai Xin straightened up. Cheng Jiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are you okay now?” she asked.

Bai Xin made an “Mm” sound, but she was thinking that the inhibitor needed 10-15 minutes to take effect; even if injected beforehand, it wouldn’t stabilize this quickly.

            

She remembered that time in the parking garage again.

Then she recalled the entire process just now—she had been too anxious about injecting the inhibitor to notice, but actually, thinking about it carefully, it felt the same as last time.

When in contact with Cheng Jiqing, she was indeed strongly affected, her heat period also accelerating, yet those few minutes just now leaning against Cheng Jiqing had quickly soothed her.

            

Speaking of which, this was contradictory.

The inhibitor couldn’t possibly take effect so quickly, but contact with Cheng Jiqing did indeed bring her rapid relief.

Completely different from the feeling of suppression from taking the inhibitor…

            

“So, can you walk now?”

Cheng Jiqing’s question cut off Bai Xin’s rapid thoughts of the past few seconds.

Bai Xin tried to move; her legs still had no strength.

            

Cheng Jiqing said, “It’s too dangerous for you to go out directly like this. I had Yu Lan check the second floor; there’s no one there now.”

There’s also a staircase on the second floor leading to the underground parking garage.

Bai Xin nodded.

            

Cheng Jiqing thought to herself, Now she’s actually being obedient.

Supporting Bai Xin, Cheng Jiqing smoothly reached the parking garage according to her plan. Yu Lan had already started the car and was waiting for her.

As the car came up from the hotel parking garage, Cheng Jiqing asked, “Where should I take you?”

            

Bai Xin was covered in sweat. Suddenly entering the air-conditioned car, she unconsciously shrank back slightly.

She answered, “Let’s go to the hospital.”

While listening, Cheng Jiqing took a black suit jacket from her handbag, unfolded it, and draped it over Bai Xin.

            

Bai Xin’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. This was something Cheng Jiqing had taken from the trunk before getting into the car.

No need for a reminder; Yu Lan knew which hospital.

She had followed Cheng Jiqing last time.

            

The car hadn’t completely left the hotel yet when they suddenly heard Yu Lan say, “Miss, Zeng Lu is blocking the way up ahead.”

Cheng Jiqing glanced forward. That woman had red hair, wore a black short skirt, and was leaning against a red sports car. Perfectly blocking the lane.

Even before seeing her, Cheng Jiqing knew from some fragments in the book that Zeng Lu wasn’t easy to deal with. Seeing her now, she truly was a thorny one. This behavior pattern wasn’t something an ordinary person would do.

            

All the more reason not to let her see Bai Xin in her car.

“Can we go around?”

“No.”

            

The car slowed down; the distance was limited.

If Bai Xin weren’t here, she actually wouldn’t be afraid to clash head-on with someone.

“Tuck your legs in.”

            

“Hm?” Cheng Jiqing was still thinking quickly.

Bai Xin suddenly squatted down. Not only that, she moved directly towards Cheng Jiqing’s feet.

Her voice was calm.

            

Cheng Jiqing’s calves felt warm: “…”

Cheng Jiqing had no intention of getting out of the car to deal with her, at least not here. Zeng Lu was waiting for her and would definitely want to talk, which would inevitably require opening the window—from an outside perspective, Bai Xin’s current position was indeed the best.

It’s just that she couldn’t help feeling this posture was a bit strange.

            

And it put Bai Xin in an uncomfortable position.

Bai Xin didn’t feel bothered; she was used to enduring silently. She just didn’t want to grow branches from knots​¹ at this time, because she needed to go find Tang Jia now.

Stopping about one meter​² away from Zeng Lu, Cheng Jiqing opened the car window a crack.

            

Zeng Lu quickly walked to the car window, her eyes first peering inside, then she smiled, “Little CEO Cheng, if you’re not getting out of the car, at least open the window wider, right?”

Impassively, Cheng Jiqing pulled the suit jacket on Bai Xin upwards, covering her head, her fingers resting on the jacket’s shoulder.

With an impatient expression, she said to the person outside, “If you have something to say, say it. I’m sleepy.”

            

“Tsk.” Zeng Lu said, “I heard Qin Yufu wasn’t at the villa that day? I’m just curious, came to ask, who was the person who shared one night of spring passion with you? Mm, I don’t think it was Bai Xin; you’ve never liked Alphas. I’ve guessed everyone in the circle, but just couldn’t figure it out.”

“You sure meddle a lot.”

“It’s not meddling, I don’t have that ability. It’s just that our Little CEO Cheng has great charm, I can’t help being interested in you.”

            

“…”

This person is seriously messed up​³. Cheng Jiqing confirmed.

“Hurry up and move your car.” Cheng Jiqing frowned, looking sleepy and irritated. “I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you.”

            

Actually, she really was a bit annoyed, probably because Bai Xin having to squat like this made her find this person even more irritating.

Hearing this, Zeng Lu didn’t get angry; her red lips curled up.

Through the glass, Cheng Jiqing heard the grinding sound of a lighter’s flint wheel. Raising her eyes, she saw the flame in Zeng Lu’s hand, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

            

She instinctively felt an aversion to that fire; she had never been like this before.

It seemed it wasn’t her feeling, but the original host’s?

No time to think.

            

Zeng Lu exhaled smoke and said, “Why so angry? I’ll leave right away. But before I go, I want to say one more thing—I won’t ask who it was, but considering I put in the effort, can you tell me, did it feel good​⁴ that night?”

Cheng Jiqing: “…”

She even suspected for a moment that Zeng Lu knew the truth, knew Bai Xin was right at her feet, and was deliberately stirring the pot​⁵.

            

“F%ck off​⁶.”

She coldly closed the window, immediately hearing Zeng Lu’s laughter from outside.

Outside the car, Zeng Lu laughed, stepped back, waved her hand, and someone immediately got into her car, started it, and reversed.

            

Cheng Jiqing’s car quickly drove away.

Behind them.

“Why are you so fixated on her?”

            

Zeng Lu watched the departing car and said to the companion who walked up beside her, “Clearly scum to the bone, yet still keeping such a clean body. How interesting. I like it.”

Her companion put an arm around her shoulder, teasing, “Then why did you give her first time to someone else?”

“If I hadn’t done that, the one being dealt with by Cheng Jing today would be me.”

            

“Especially since Cheng Jing has always looked down on people in our line of work.”

“And most importantly, Cheng Jiqing always resisted contact before, so I had no opportunity. Now… Cheng Jiqing’s cherry has been popped​⁷. If there’s a first time, there will be a second. Once she’s tasted the sweetness, how many Alphas can withstand the temptation?”

“It just depends on the methods used, that’s all.”

            

“You should take it easy.”

Zeng Lu chuckled, the smoke dispersing in the wind. “But I really envy… the Omega from that night.”

---

Bai Xin sat back in the seat.

            

She pulled the jacket down, covering her legs.

“It really wasn’t you.”

“It really wasn’t me.”

            

“Your target was Qin Yufu. It’s just that someone wanted to harm me, so they gave me the drug. But that inducer isn’t unrelated to you.”

As for the person who harmed her, Bai Xin already had an answer in her heart.

Cheng Jiqing felt the atmosphere change again.

            

The person in her arms in the stairwell just now seemed different from the Bai Xin before her eyes.

But from Bai Xin’s perspective, she wasn’t wrong either. The chat logs with Zeng Lu showed that the original host had asked for that drug herself. And she was the original host now.

Cheng Jiqing said quietly, “Regarding the Qin Yufu matter, I don’t know how to explain… Maybe you won’t believe it, but it has nothing to do with me personally.”

            

After speaking, Cheng Jiqing didn’t explain further. There were times she also felt like just letting it rot​⁸.

Bai Xin clutched the suit jacket; its surface still held Cheng Jiqing’s body heat.

The absurd thing was, she actually believed her a little.

            

Neither of them spoke again. The car drove all the way to the hospital.

After parking, Cheng Jiqing asked, “There are two spare sets of clothes in the trunk. Do you want to change?”

Bai Xin’s dress was stained with alcohol, and besides, a formal gown was too conspicuous. She turned her head sideways and saw Cheng Jiqing’s calm and clear gaze.

            

She could tell Cheng Jiqing was uncomfortable because of her words.

Bai Xin averted her eyes, her voice light, “Okay.”

Cheng Jiqing muttered inwardly, So besides ‘Mm,’ Bai Xin also uses other words to answer her.

            

She took out the clothes: one set was a T-shirt and jeans, the other a shirt and jeans. Both pairs of pants were a tight-fitting, skinny-leg style.

“Cheng Jiqing…”

“Hm?”

            

Bai Xin paused for a moment, feeling the slightly stiff texture, then raised her eyes and asked, “…Are there only pants?”
