Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 59

Ning Xi stood where she was, watching Yu Qingxue and Wang You from a short distance away. In the end, she chose not to walk over.

If she went straight up and asked, Yu Qingxue would have plenty of excuses to brush her off.

She decided to find the truth on her own.

For now, she placed her focus back on Jiang Yuanxin.

Among everyone involved, only Jiang Yuanxin seemed completely unaware of what was going on. If he had known more, he would not have been used to pass along the message about Wang You liking Wei Nian.

Whoever planned all this, most likely Yu Qingxue, must have known Jiang Yuanxin well. She knew he could not keep secrets.

But why was she so sure that Jiang Yuanxin would gossip to her and not someone else?

The screenwriter Yang Huaigeng clearly had a closer relationship with Jiang Yuanxin than she did.

There were many unanswered questions waiting to be solved. What Ning Xi felt was not anger over being deceived, but a kind of thrill at the challenge ahead.

When she first arrived in this unfamiliar world, she had been rather passive. She kept acting only to survive. The emotional instability caused by her Alpha nature had made her want to avoid complications.

But now, the mystery in front of her had sparked a rare excitement.

The moment she confirmed Yu Qingxue as the person behind it all, she felt her blood heat up with energy.

It made her feel like she was truly alive in this world.

Ning Xi turned around and walked toward the makeup room. Just as she approached the door, it opened and Wei Nian appeared.

Wei Nian looked like she had seen a ghost. With a loud thud, she quickly shut the door again.

The thin wooden door trembled from the impact. A few splinters of wood fell to the floor.

Ning Xi smiled slightly, then pushed the door open and walked inside.

An hour later, Yu Qingxue and Wang You finished their scenes.

Yu Qingxue entered the makeup room and saw Ning Xi sitting at the dressing table, looking at her phone.

Her long black hair hung down her back like a waterfall. Her fair skin seemed almost luminous, and her lips were a deep, natural red. When she heard footsteps, she lifted her head. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes met Yu Qingxue’s.

“You’re back. Are you tired?” Ning Xi asked with her usual soft concern.

“How was it working with Wang You? Did everything go smoothly?”

Yu Qingxue’s eyes were calm, and her tone was cool. “It was fine. I’m planning to break up with her tomorrow.”

Her face was expressionless, but her voice did not sound as cold as her look suggested.

“I don’t want to talk about her anymore. It’s pointless,” Yu Qingxue said, sounding tired.

“How did things go on your side? You said you would help me get revenge. How badly did you bully Wei Nian?”

Yu Qingxue went to the changing area to change her clothes. When she came back out, Ning Xi said, “I gave her a really hard time.”

“How hard exactly?” Yu Qingxue asked with interest. The more Wei Nian suffered, the more she felt she owed Ning Xi.

She sat down next to her and began removing her makeup. The chair was a little far from the mirror, but after standing for hours during filming, her body was aching. She did not want to stand up again. She lazily wiped her face with a cotton pad, not caring if it was completely clean.

They were going back to the hotel soon anyway. She could clean her face properly later.

Ning Xi could not stand watching her halfhearted effort. She took the cotton pad from Yu Qingxue’s hand.

“Lift your chin a little. Close your eyes.”

Yu Qingxue followed her instructions. With her eyes closed, her senses became sharper. She could hear Ning Xi’s gentle breathing as she leaned closer, and her heart began to beat a little faster.

The cotton pad touched her skin with a soft pressure. Ning Xi’s hand under her chin was steady and careful. In that moment, Yu Qingxue felt completely cared for.

“I almost made Wei Nian cry today,” Ning Xi said with a quiet laugh near her ear.

Yu Qingxue’s ears warmed, but she also felt a trace of pity for Wei Nian. “She didn’t even cry when she got caught cheating. How did you manage to break her down?”

“I got distracted while acting. I lost control and overwhelmed her completely. She kept messing up and getting scolded by the director. In the end, she asked me to go easy on her.”

Ning Xi’s thumb gently brushed over Yu Qingxue’s lips. Her heart skipped a beat.

“I really didn’t mean to,” Ning Xi added.

“But I doubt Wei Nian believes that.”

Yu Qingxue’s lips felt tingly and sensitive. Just then, Ning Xi pressed a makeup wipe gently to her mouth. The coolness quickly replaced the warmth, leaving her with a strange, uncomfortable feeling.

Yu Qingxue said nothing.

When she got up to wash her face, she left her phone on the dressing table with the screen facing up.

Suddenly, it vibrated twice.

Buzz. Buzz.

Ning Xi instinctively turned her head toward the sound.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up, and a bold message appeared across the lock screen.

WeChat

Wei Nian: Yu Director, I was so miserable today, ahhhhhh!

Ning Xi fell silent for a moment.

Compared to how carefully Yu Qingxue usually guarded her phone, today’s carelessness seemed almost deliberate.

It was as if she wanted Ning Xi to see it.

Ning Xi did not have time to think further before Yu Qingxue returned from washing her face. Her skin looked clear and dewy, glowing softly under the lights. A few strands of hair near her cheek were damp, darkened by the water, making her fair skin appear even more flawless.

“I heard the phone vibrate twice while I was in there. Did someone message me?” Yu Qingxue asked casually.

She walked over, picked up her phone, and unlocked it. The moment she saw the message from Wei Nian, her heart tightened slightly. She instinctively looked up at Ning Xi.

Ning Xi met her gaze calmly. Her dark eyes looked pure and innocent.

“Maybe,” she replied. “I was scrolling through Weibo and didn’t really pay attention.”
