Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 37

Two hours later, Bai Qinian was released on bail. The first thing he did was go to see Bai Lianlian.

Father and daughter sat together in a private room. Lianlian looked delicate and fragile, crying so hard that her tear-streaked face was soaked. Her soft, baby-fat cheeks were covered in glistening tears.

“Daddy, you have to save me. I don’t want to go to prison,” she sobbed.

Bai Qinian frowned, his heart aching. “Lian, Piaopiao, I will do everything I can to help you. Don’t worry. Even if Wei Nian refuses to forgive you, I will never let you go to jail.”

He put special emphasis on the words “let you.” Lianlian’s eyes widened in surprise, still filled with tears.

“Daddy, are you saying you want Piao…”

Before she could finish, Bai Qinian gently patted her weak shoulder and interrupted her.

“You are the star I personally built up. You will surpass Yu Qingxue one day and become famous all over the world. Trust me, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Lianlian was moved and nodded with tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Daddy.”

After leaving the police station, Bai Qinian did not dare face Wei Nian himself. He asked his secretary to go to the hospital on his behalf.

“As long as the conditions are not too extreme, agree to them. Piaopiao absolutely cannot go to jail.”

The secretary went to the hospital with the message and met Wei Nian, whose face was completely wrapped in bandages.

“Miss Wei, hello. I am Mr. Bai Qinian’s secretary. I’m here today about Mr. Bai’s daughter, Bai Piaopiao.”

Only Wei Nian’s eyes were visible. The secretary looked into her cold, gloomy gaze and instantly felt overwhelmed by the sharp, hostile energy in her eyes. He nearly forgot what he was supposed to say.

“Miss Wei, we know you have been hurt. Mr. Bai said that if you are willing to write a letter of forgiveness for Bai Piaopiao, he will agree to anything you want.”

Wei Nian kept her head down, scrolling on her phone, completely unmoved.

The secretary continued, “Whether it is money or a lead role in a movie, we can make it happen. Qirui Entertainment still has strong industry connections. Once your face recovers, Mr. Bai can assemble a team to support you.”

Wei Nian finally looked up. Her voice was calm. “Support me?”

The secretary thought she was interested and quickly responded, “Yes. As long as you forgive Bai Piaopiao, whether you want fame or wealth, Mr. Bai can give it to you.”

Suddenly, Wei Nian reached out and shoved the fruit basket off the nightstand. It hit the floor with a loud crash, sending fruit rolling everywhere. One apple rolled all the way to the secretary’s feet.

The sudden burst of Alpha energy from Wei Nian froze the secretary in place. His legs went weak and he stood there shaking.

“Tell Bai Qinian that I will never forgive Bai Piaopiao. Not in this lifetime. Instead of begging me, he should hire her a good lawyer.”

“No, Miss Wei, please don’t misunderstand. This is not begging, it is a sincere request.” The secretary tried to stay calm. “Mr. Bai is asking you to forgive her out of the love he has for his daughter. He promises to discipline Bai Piaopiao and make sure she never causes any more trouble. She is only sixteen, still a child, and doesn’t understand the consequences. Do you really want to hold this against a child?”

Wei Nian’s face remained blank. “Since your Mr. Bai loves his child so much, he should come talk to me in person.”

A mocking smile appeared on her lips. “What’s wrong? Is he too scared to face me? Afraid I’ll kill him?”

The secretary swallowed nervously. “Please think it over again. Mr. Bai has been overwhelmed with work and taking care of Bai Piaopiao. He is completely exhausted. I will ask him. If he can make time, he will definitely come meet you himself.”

After saying this, the secretary left the hospital room, leaning against the wall as he walked out.

Wei Nian picked up her phone and told Ning Xi everything that had happened.

Ning Xi said, “Bai Qinian doesn’t dare face you. Next time his secretary shows up again, just tell them you already know Bai Piaopiao is not really Bai Piaopiao.”

“She’s not?” Wei Nian frowned. It was the second time Ning Xi had said something like that. “Are you saying someone is pretending to be her?”

Ning Xi replied, “Minors can’t go through differentiation. Bai Piaopiao is sixteen. There is no way she could have presented as an Omega.”

Wei Nian was completely shocked. Questions poured out of her one after another.

“Then where is the real Bai Piaopiao? Bai Piaopiao is really Bai Qinian’s daughter, right? So he just let someone pretend to be his daughter? Wouldn’t the people who know her find that strange?”

Ning Xi replied with a sigh, “Wei Nian, how come I never realized you were this talkative before?”

“Don’t worry. The truth will come out very soon.”

After reassuring Wei Nian, Ning Xi ended the call and reported the progress to Yu Qingxue.

She picked up a bright red strawberry and gently brought it to Yu Qingxue’s lips.

Yu Qingxue instinctively opened her mouth and bit into the strawberry, along with Ning Xi’s fingertips.

Ning Xi was stunned.

Yu Qingxue froze too.

The warmth of Yu Qingxue’s mouth on her fingers sent tingles through Ning Xi’s entire body. She tried to pull back, but Yu Qingxue’s lips stayed closed, her teeth lightly pressing down on Ning Xi’s hand.

Yu Qingxue looked at Ning Xi’s startled expression. Her ears, hidden behind her hair, turned red, but her face stayed calm.

Strawberry juice dripped out slowly. Yu Qingxue gave a gentle suck, then finally let go.

Ning Xi pulled her hand back, her arm numb from the touch.

Even if they were not an Alpha and Omega, this level of closeness between two women was still a bit much.

“Sorry. I have a habit of biting chopsticks when I eat,” Yu Qingxue said softly. After swallowing the strawberry, she picked up a napkin and gently wiped the juice from her lips.

Ning Xi opened her mouth to speak, but Yu Qingxue asked instead, “Did you wash your hands?”

Her clear eyes landed on Ning Xi’s fingers, which were still wet from strawberry juice and saliva.

Ning Xi looked embarrassed. “President Yu, I washed the strawberries myself. Of course I washed my hands.”

Yu Qingxue let out a small sigh of relief. “Good.”

Ning Xi fell silent for a moment.

Well, if she didn’t mind, there was no reason to overthink it. It was just a fingertip, after all.

Ning Xi stood up and went to wash her hands. When she came back, she brought two silver fruit forks and divided the strawberries into two portions. She placed one in front of Yu Qingxue.

“President Yu, would you like to use a fruit fork or go wash your hands first?”

The disturbing music made Bai Qinian’s ears ache. The haunting melody stirred an uneasy feeling deep in his chest.

He forced himself to stay calm and looked at Wei Nian.

“Miss Wei, have you made your decision? If you agree, I can immediately arrange a private jet to take you to South Korea for facial reconstruction.”

Wei Nian stayed silent for a moment. When the music reached its emotional peak, she slowly raised her head and gave Bai Qinian a small smile.

“I know Bai Piaopiao is not really Bai Piaopiao.”

A cold sweat broke out across Bai Qinian’s back. He instinctively took a step backward, though he tried his best to keep a calm expression.

“Miss Wei, what do you mean by that?”

Wei Nian looked straight at him.
“You really don’t understand what I mean?”

The truth was, Bai Qinian understood perfectly. That was why he was terrified.

Bai Lianlian had been exposed. But how could that be possible?

Besides himself and Bai Lianlian, no one else knew the truth. Even Bai Piaopiao didn’t know. So how had Wei Nian found out?

Originally, if Wei Nian refused to write a letter of forgiveness, Bai Qinian had planned to let his younger daughter, Bai Piaopiao, whom he never liked much, take the fall for Bai Lianlian. That way, even if Bai Lianlian lost her carefully crafted public image as a gender-diverse idol, she could still return to the entertainment industry under her real name.

Bai Qinian had believed his plan was flawless.

He never expected that before he could even put it into action, Wei Nian would tear it apart with a single sentence.
