Becoming the Comfort Alpha for the Aloof Movie Queen - Chapter 88

I Am Happy With You

Liang Ruojing did as she was told.

The Omega’s surging pheromones instantly found a harbor, pouncing onto Liang Ruojing in a single breath.

The glands spiraled out of control; a higher concentration of peppermint schnapps was forced out, intertwining and merging with the rich lily fragrance filling the room.

The two scents were evenly matched. With every collision, they seemed to release fireworks before their eyes.

Ming Tanqing’s breath hitched as numerous desires bubbled up like foam.

Every inch of her skin was wrapped in the Alpha’s pheromones; even a simple touch filled her brain with pure pleasure.

So, this was how high-compatibility AO (Alpha/Omega) pairs truly interacted.

Sensing the invitation hidden within the lilies, Liang Ruojing circled her arm around the Omega’s waist and, with a slight exertion of strength, held her and flipped her over.

Ming Tanqing’s entire body grew slightly hot, her waist twisting unconsciously.

Her legs parted.

Liang Ruojing was momentarily stunned.

“Sister Tanqing, have you entered your heat cycle?”

Ming Tanqing bit her lip, her entire face flushed with a bashful crimson.

“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up.”

Since the Omega wouldn’t answer directly, Liang Ruojing kept asking—partly out of concern, partly as teasing.

Ming Tanqing bit her lip, unwilling to make a sound.

She was enduring it when suddenly her jaw was pried open by the Alpha. Liang Ruojing didn’t kiss her; instead, she wedged her knuckles between Ming’s teeth.

She forcibly opened a window, letting more of those beautiful sounds leak out.

This time was faster than any time before.

With half her face buried in the pillow, Ming Tanqing slowly regulated her breathing.

Liang Ruojing’s torso pressed against her once more.

Her fingers brushed aside the black hair on the back of Ming’s neck, gently scratching the tender, pink gland.

“Is there something wrong with the gland?”

Enduring the numbness spreading through her body, Ming Tanqing turned around to face Liang Ruojing. “No.”

Just as she was thinking of a suitable excuse, Liang Ruojing seemed to realize something on her own. She pressed her forehead against Ming Tanqing’s, laughing softly.

“Sister Tanqing, you’re such a jealous soul.”

I am not.

Ming Tanqing could only suffer this loss in silence.

Consequently, when Liang Ruojing came to kiss her again, she opened her mouth and wrapped her arms around the Alpha.

Ming Tanqing’s Industry Girlfriend:

I’ve discovered that Big Sis is a total green-eyed monster.

Ming Tanqing’s expression remained unchanged as she moved her finger and tapped “Report.”

Ever since she started following Liang Ruojing’s alt account, her phone hadn’t stopped for a moment, constantly popping up with notifications.

The frequency was so high that even her assistant couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Ming, is someone looking for you?”

“It’s nothing,” Ming Tanqing said, eyes closed as she obediently let the makeup artist touch up her face. “It’s just that someone hasn’t had any scenes to film lately and is very bored.”

Despite saying that, Ming Tanqing grabbed her phone before going on set, switched to her main account, and composed a scheduled post.

This way, it should be fine.

She wouldn’t have to endure being tormented by “pillow talk” tonight.

Meanwhile, Liang Ruojing was clutching her phone, sitting in a corner of the set locked in battle.

Ming Tanqing didn’t care.

Liang Ruojing cared very much.

She had just finished reporting one post and was about to continue when a Weibo notification popped up.

Your special follow Ming Tanqing posted 1s ago

Liang Ruojing clicked in and felt instantly refreshed.

Ming Tanqing had shared an interview post about Yu Feng. The caption consisted of only two words:

Not close.

Satisfying!

Good news followed in succession. The Super Topic Liang Ruojing had applied for finally reached 10 members after four days, meeting the criteria for establishment.

In the creator’s backend, she could see the list of people who had helped boost the topic.

Among the crowd of main and alt accounts, one with a default profile picture was exceptionally prominent.

It wasn’t a bot account?

Feeling grateful, Liang Ruojing opened a private message to the user with the gibberish ID.

Thank you! Do you want to be a junior moderator for our Super Topic?

The gibberish-ID friend was silent for a few seconds.

No need to thank me.] [No thanks.

So cold.

If you have a celebrity you like, tell me. I can help you get an autograph.

Ming Tanqing let out a small laugh.

Is one from Liang Ruojing okay?

What great taste!

Liang Ruojing’s eyes lit up.

Of course!

But when she asked for an address, the other side stopped responding. They likely didn’t take her words seriously.

During lunch, Liang Ruojing noticed Ming Tanqing kept smiling at her.

It was strange.

But Sister Tanqing looked beautiful when she smiled.

Liang Ruojing stopped worrying about it.

The city’s heavy rain finally stopped two days later.

Liang Ruojing ended her idle state and followed the director’s instructions to shoot some b-roll footage for editing.

It was already mid-April; the mountain flowers were in full bloom, and every corner brimmed with the vitality of spring.

Estimating the time, Liang Ruojing called home.

“Mom, I sent something to the house. Did you receive it?”

Su Jing’s background noise was a bit chaotic. “Not yet. we’ve been away attending an engagement party recently. We’ll be back in Beijing in a few days.”

Liang Ruojing was familiar with this.

Because of her position, Liang Can had a vast network, and there were always invitations from various places.

When Liang Ruojing was a child, she spent every holiday at her grandmother’s house.

Later, the elderly woman said a few words, and Liang Can started turning down what he could.

Those he had to attend were either major bank clients or close colleagues and friends.

Curious, Liang Ruojing asked casually, “Who is it this time?”

“Someone in new energy vehicles, you might not know them,” Su Jing said. “The groom is named Xie Xing.”

Who?

Liang Ruojing was instantly alert.

“And the bride?”

Was it Liu Lanshi?

By instinct, Liang Ruojing already sensed something was wrong.

If it were Liu Lanshi, she should have posted something on her social feed.

At the very least, she should have sent a private message.

Su Jing’s voice rang in her ear like a crack of thunder.

“Her name is Ye Ning, the eldest daughter of Kyushu New Energy Vehicles. It should be a business marriage; they’re quite a match.”

Liang Ruojing’s brain stalled upon hearing those words.

She asked many more questions—company, height, second gender—she almost sent a sketch of the person in her memory to Su Jing, before she finally had to accept the fact: Xie Xing’s marriage partner was not Liu Lanshi.

Many scenes from the night the variety show wrapped surged into her mind.

Liu Lanshi’s frankness when she admitted it, her nostalgia when recalling their first meeting, her happiness when guessing about the proposal…

So much intoxication, so much beauty—all vanished like smoke in this instant.

Liang Ruojing suddenly realized she had witnessed the extinction of love.

Silent and invisible, it happened on a bright spring afternoon.

This explained Liu Lanshi’s abnormality during the Huabiao Awards.

A stagehand came to call her. Liang Ruojing put down her phone and walked under the spotlights.

After several failed takes, the assistant director came over to check on her.

“Xiao Liang, are you okay? Your complexion looks terrible.”

Liang Ruojing forced a smile.

“I’m fine, I’ll adjust my state immediately.”

Ming Tanqing was filming at another set.

The sun gradually dipped toward the west. The first clear day after the storm was a rare, beautiful day.

At dusk, many tiny water droplets floated in the mountain air. A rainbow appeared amidst the green woods, dreamy and dazzling.

When Ming Tanqing finished her scenes, she happened to see this sight.

Thinking that Liang Ruojing should be waiting for her in the car, Ming Tanqing’s pace quickened.

The scenery was lovely today; perhaps they could take a walk along the path.

She knocked on the door of the production van, but there was no response.

After waiting a few seconds, Ming Tanqing decisively pulled open the back door.

It was empty.

The Alpha’s pheromones were very faint—the mint scent was barely perceptible—meaning Liang Ruojing hadn’t been here since she finished filming.

Ming Tanqing frowned and stopped a passing stagehand.

“Where is Liang Ruojing?”

The stagehand, holding a small folding stool, replied, “Teacher Liang? She went down the mountain right after she finished filming.”

When Ming Tanqing returned to the hotel, Liang Ruojing was leaning against the balcony railing, catching the breeze.

The sun had half-set, and the distant sky showed an exotic gradient of blue and orange.

Hearing a sound behind her, Liang Ruojing turned slowly.

“Sister Tanqing, I sent you a WeChat message.”

The Omega had already walked to her side.

“Yes, I saw it.”

Ming Tanqing suddenly looked up. The sunset reflected in her eyes, gentle and striking.

“Ruojing, what’s wrong?”

As expected,.

Nothing could be hidden from her.

Liang Ruojing looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and asked in a low voice:

“Sister Tanqing, Xie Xing is getting married. Did you know about this early on too?”

Under the Alpha’s almost pleading gaze, Ming Tanqing nodded.

“Sorry, I should have told you earlier.”

What does Sister Tanqing have to be sorry for?

Liang Ruojing sniffled.

“If only I had known earlier, too.”

She felt like a fool.

And she felt sad for Liu Lanshi.

When she was happy, did she know her bedmate had chosen someone else?

Liang Ruojing’s eyes were filled with a sense of lost confusion.

Like she was lost, not knowing where to go.

Feeling the sorrow flowing in the air, Ming Tanqing’s chest felt tight.

Love is unreliable; this was something she had known long ago.

Since it was a known fact, why was it so painful?

Ming Tanqing already had a script in her heart, words she had previously thought of to comfort Liang Ruojing.

Nothing more than pessimistic phrases like “That’s just how love is” or “True love is rare.”

If it were the her from a year ago, asking her to comfort someone else over another’s romantic tragedy—don’t even think about it.

People who believe in love are foolish.

But what about now?

Ming Tanqing couldn’t even bear to analyze the reality for Liang Ruojing.

Perhaps she, too, had become a fool who believed in love.

Ming Tanqing didn’t say a word. She hooked her fingers into Liang Ruojing’s hand and accompanied her in the breeze for a long time.

Liang Ruojing’s heart was heavy because of this matter.

She could only comfort herself with the thought that at least Liu Lanshi won the Huabiao Best Actress award; losing in love but winning in fame and fortune could be considered a form of compensation.

At night, Liang Ruojing tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

She was embarrassed to tell Ming Tanqing.

A twenty-three-year-old adult woman losing sleep over something like this—even Liang Ruojing despised her own naivety.

Sigh, having witnessed it personally, it’s hard to forget.

Sleep! Sleep!

Liang Ruojing lay flat on the bed, trying to calm her complex emotions.

A deep lily fragrance quietly bloomed in the darkness.

Like a clear breeze, it miraculously swept away the gloom in Liang Ruojing’s heart.

Ming Tanqing’s voice was soft and tender: “Ruojing, do you want to talk?”

Liang Ruojing tilted her face up, naturally rolled over, and pressed close to Ming Tanqing’s side.

No matter when, Ming Tanqing’s unique body temperature always gave her strength.

“I’m still sad.”

Wrapped in the Omega’s pheromones, Liang Ruojing felt safe. She could reveal her vulnerability and seek comfort.

“I haven’t seen many situations like this. My initial understanding of relationships came from my own home.”

Ming Tanqing listened, easily thinking of the families she had seen.

Endless love had nurtured one Liang Ruojing.

The heat of the Alpha’s breath hit her skin, surprisingly hot.

Ming Tanqing caught a glimpse of a sky completely different from her own world.

Unaware, Liang Ruojing pressed half her body against the Omega.

She circled Ming Tanqing’s waist, like a dragon guarding its treasure.

Liang Ruojing hadn’t expected Sister Tanqing to be willing to listen to her ramble about these things.

Even being clung to like an octopus, Ming Tanqing didn’t struggle.

She needed the other person’s warmth.

“My parents… it was a business marriage. They weren’t happy.”

Only Ming Tanqing knew how much filth and ugliness lay behind those words, “weren’t happy.”

Talking about the past with someone else was no different from exposing her scars.

Ming Tanqing stopped talking.

What she had learned from her family was that when a long-term relationship reaches the end, it only leaves the ugliest things for the other person.

That was why she didn’t dare to respond.

If only life remained as it was when we first met.

Then let it stay at that first meeting.

Ming Tanqing breathed steadily.

In the darkness, she seemed to see another version of herself.

Curled up in a corner—timid and fragile.

Liang Ruojing’s breathing slowed as well.

Ming Tanqing couldn’t help but wonder, What is she thinking?

Did I scare her?

In the next second, Liang Ruojing held her even tighter. She curled her arms, embracing her in a protective posture.

The Alpha said to her: “It’s okay. We can be happy.”
