Becoming the Comfort Alpha for the Aloof Movie Queen - Chapter 23.1

Ming Tanqing was covered in Liang Ruojing’s pheromones.

Under the intense drenching of pheromones, the Omega was powerless to resist. Her consciousness gradually blurred, and she fainted.

Liang Ruojing lay over Ming Tanqing, carefully and earnestly sniffing the fragrance emanating from the Omega’s nape.

The temporary marking between them was not yet complete.

Liang Ruojing buried her face into the Omega’s skin with deep attachment. The intoxicating scent of lilies stimulated her entire body, causing her to tremble and tempting her to explore deeper.

Ming Tanqing felt uncomfortable being rubbed against by the Alpha. She frowned in her sleep, her throat letting out constant murmurs of distress, as if protesting the Alpha’s roughness.

Liang Ruojing was in a trance, instinctively embracing the Omega and stubbornly injecting the last of her pheromones into the gland.

The temporary marking ended.

Liang Ruojing traced her nose carefully along the Omega’s exposed neck and shoulders.

This time, she finally smelled a mixed scent.

It was a fragrance emanating from the very core of the Omega.

The scent of lilies soaked in mint wine—it was like drinking a glass of strong liquor atop a snowy mountain peak, possessing both a chilling, sublime purity and a stimulating, passionate heat.

These were the pheromones of both of them.

The Alpha flashed a satisfied smile; she and the Omega in her arms were now one.

Liang Ruojing still possessed a shred of self-awareness. She stood up, flipped the Omega over with gentle movements, and then lay down beside Ming Tanqing with satisfaction.

She heard the steady sound of the Omega’s breathing next to her.

Liang Ruojing’s heartbeat became irregular.

She looked up and gently brushed away the black hair scattered over Ming Tanqing’s face, revealing a countenance where the blush had not yet faded.

Brows, eyes, nose, mouth…

Liang Ruojing gazed infatuatedly at the person beside her.

Familiar features, yet a strange expression.

It turned out that when a cold and abstinent person was moved by passion, it would create such a soul-stirring sight.

Liang Ruojing poked the Omega’s cheek.

It was warm to the touch and felt very good.

Ming Tanqing sensed it in her sleep, her willow-leaf brows furrowing slightly as if she were getting angry.

So cute.

Liang Ruojing giggled foolishly.

At this moment, her heart had flown out, soaring higher and higher along with the lily fragrance filling the room, carrying her to a land free of worries and loss.

Liang Ruojing quietly leaned a bit closer toward Ming Tanqing.

Just like any Alpha after a temporary marking, Liang Ruojing opened her arms, pulled her Omega into her embrace, and fell asleep happily.

Ming Tanqing had a long-awaited beautiful dream.

She dreamed she was on a swing.

When she was young, Ming Tanqing often had this dream. She would sit on the swing, and the person behind her would start pushing with great force, going higher and higher, as if she were about to reach the sky.

In the dream, Ming Tanqing was terrified. She gripped the ropes tightly, but no one responded to her cries for help.

Her psychologist said: This dream reflected her fear of “trusting others.”

Ming Tanqing had been noncommittal.

This dream started out the same way.

She sat on the swing, and the person behind her began to push.

Higher and higher, higher and higher.

Ming Tanqing did not choose to cry for help again. She let go of the ropes, closed her eyes, and allowed herself to fly out.

However, the expected pain did not arrive; she fell into a warm embrace.

Ming Tanqing could not see the face of the person holding her clearly.

Yet, she could faintly smell a reassuring, cool scent of mint.

Ming Tanqing opened her eyes and saw Liang Ruojing’s features magnified.

The Alpha was beautiful; Ming Tanqing had known that from the start.

Deep-set eyes and a high bridge of the nose—she was a rare, top-tier “intense beauty” in the entertainment industry.

Ming Tanqing liked Liang Ruojing’s eyes the most. They were as clear as amber and as passionate as the sun. When open, they were bright and beautiful; when closed… they were actually quite well-behaved.

In short, she looked nothing like the scoundrel Alpha who had just been licking and biting her.

Sensing a slight movement from the person in her arms, the Alpha instinctively hooked the slender waist in her palm and pulled her a bit closer.

How can someone’s hands be so hot?

Liang Ruojing had slept wonderfully. With a happy smile on her face, she tilted her head and nestled into the Omega’s bosom.

Quite the picture of a “large bird leaning on a person.”

Was this even appropriate?

Ming Tanqing lay there silently for a while. Seeing that the Alpha had no intention of opening her eyes, she hardened her heart, broke free from the Alpha’s embrace, and sat up.

An Alpha’s awareness of their Omega after a temporary marking is hundreds of times stronger than usual; it is a reaction etched into their genes.

Coupled with the fact that Liang Ruojing already liked Ming Tanqing, her reaction was even more intense.

Ming Tanqing had barely sat up when the Alpha snapped her eyes open and instantly grabbed her hand.

Ming Tanqing was startled. She had never seen such a serious expression on Liang Ruojing’s face before.

The emptiness in her arms gnawed at Liang Ruojing’s nerves. She opened her eyes, saw the shocked Ming Tanqing, and her thoughts finally returned to her.

Liang Ruojing immediately let go, transforming back into the trembling little fan Ming Tanqing was familiar with in a single second: “Ming… Sister Ming.”

Liang Ruojing looked down and discovered that Ming Tanqing’s wrist had been squeezed red by her.

Hiss… did I use that much force?

As the warmth in the blankets dissipated, Liang Ruojing’s heart slowly returned to her body. She remembered many things.

Many, many things.

Would an apology even be useful?

Ming Tanqing sat there, gazing eerily at Liang Ruojing, whose expression was changing repeatedly.

Liang Ruojing’s emotions had always been outward in front of her, unable to hide a single thing. Within a few glances, Ming Tanqing had guessed her inner thoughts completely.

The Omega chuckled, breaking the stiff atmosphere.

“I’m going to take a shower,” Ming Tanqing said. She prepared to stand up, but due to the aftereffects of the marking, her legs went weak, and she almost fell.

Liang Ruojing swiftly supported her waist.

A familiar touch, a familiar scent.

“Sister Ming, are you okay?”

Liang Ruojing quickly let go, acting clumsy and bumbling—a complete contrast to the predatory Alpha from the marking process earlier.

Ming Tanqing had to admit she was a bit angry at first.

It was just that it wasn’t easy to vent, so it had been suppressed in her heart.

Seeing Liang Ruojing like this, her heart actually felt much lighter.

In the end, it was all under the influence of pheromones.

Wasn’t she the same…

“It’s fine,” Ming Tanqing said with a faint smile, supporting herself against the edge of the bed as she got down.

Her silky black hair draped down, once again covering the red and swollen gland at the back of her neck.

Looking further down, the originally sparkling long dress had been ravaged into a mess. It was not only wrinkled but also a bit damp…

“There’s a bathroom next door, and there are clothes in the wardrobe. Liang… Xiao Jing, go get some yourself.”

With that, Ming Tanqing held onto the wall and entered the bathroom.

Liang Ruojing sat there dazed.

Her face turned red instantly.

The two of them slept directly until 6 o’clock in the evening.

After showering, Liang Ruojing changed into a set of casual loungewear. Her flaxen-colored medium-long hair was casually tied up, looking relaxed and lazy. Her whole body carried a visible sense of satisfaction, with joy lingering in the corners of her brows.

On the Alpha, besides her own mint scent, there was a noticeably cold lily fragrance that could not be ignored.

It was extremely possessive, wantonly spreading its fragrance as if declaring sovereignty.

Dinner in the house was already prepared.

Ming Tanqing appeared after her shower. She wore a long, white, fuzzy dress with a flaxen cardigan draped loosely over her.

Away from the piercing spotlights, Ming Tanqing was still radiant, but she no longer felt distant; instead, she felt like someone who would chat and laugh with you.

The temporary marking had consumed too much physical strength. Liang Ruojing took her seat and ate a lot in a very good mood.

Liang Ruojing’s Omega mother, Su Jing, was particularly strict about etiquette. Liang Ruojing had been raised with a ruler to ensure her manners, so she ate elegantly. Watching her take one bite after another unexpectedly stimulated one’s appetite.

Ming Tanqing observed the Alpha who was feasting heartily and silently pushed a few dishes toward Liang Ruojing.

Fang Zezhi was also at the dining table, smiling as she discussed her upcoming plans.

“I’m leaving tomorrow morning for a month. If there’s an emergency, you can still contact me.”

Liang Ruojing was still a bit apprehensive. Ming Tanqing had just gone for a gland check-up, and she didn’t know the results. Not wanting to ask directly, she poked around:

“Is Sister Ming’s illness… okay?”

Ming Tanqing glanced at Liang Ruojing.

Fang Zezhi replied cheerfully, “Much better! All the indicators have improved significantly.”

She was devoted to her academic work, and seeing such clear progress in her research made her very happy. She hurriedly asked Ming Tanqing:

“Tanqing, you should feel it too, right? Isn’t it much more comfortable?”

Two expectant gazes hit her simultaneously.

Liang Ruojing looked over eagerly, lowering her head slightly and looking up at Ming Tanqing with an “upward gaze.”

Strangely pitiful.

Ming Tanqing nodded: “It is a bit more comfortable. Thank you, Xiao Jing.”

Her description actually downplayed the impact.

It was more than just “a bit more comfortable.” Ming Tanqing’s body hadn’t felt this light in a long time—no heaviness, no fatigue.

This kind of experience was addictive.

Wow.

The weight on Liang Ruojing’s heart vanished.

If she was comfortable, then that was great.

It meant she was actually useful to Ming Tanqing?

Fang Zezhi: “Exactly. You two should have more contact lately. After a temporary marking, both sides’ demand for pheromones will increase.”
