I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 12
Her Script: The Crazy and Obsessive Film Queen
Xuan Yuchi obediently sat down beside her.
The next step was to rest her head on Yun Chen’s lap.
She glanced at Yun Chen’s eyes, which were as dark as night and tinged with coldness, and her gaze couldn’t help but wander, looking distracted.
It had been a long time since she had been this intimate with Yun Chen.
Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed.
Xuan Yuchi pressed both hands to her cheeks and rubbed them: “Hehe, Sister Bian, maybe we can simplify the steps?”
“How to simplify?” Bian Yunchen asked.
Xuan Yuchi’s face flushed slightly: “Well, just… just don’t make it so troublesome. I think among all those steps, perhaps only that one step is important.”
The large European-style curtains were fully drawn, and the warm yellow light in the room softened everything, including Xuan Yuchi’s face.
Her small and delicate face was flushed with red, like a New Year’s doll, looking both cute and childish.
Bian Yunchen raised her hand to touch that patch of redness, but only lightly brushed it with the side of her finger before pulling away.
“How do you know that step is the most important? If you get it wrong, it will be a waste of time.” Her finger hooked Xuan Yuchi’s neck, forcefully pressing Xuan Yuchi down.
Xuan Yuchi subconsciously wanted to get up, but was held down by her finger. The warm touch brought a slight tickle.
No, it wasn’t that she was too sensitive.
It was that Yun Chen was genuinely using her finger to intentionally or unintentionally stroke her neck, making Xuan Yuchi feel waves of numbness throughout her body.
Moreover, she was in her heat cycle, and the pheromones on Yun Chen made her instinctively reluctant to leave, even a little greedy for them.
Now, she was completely immobilized, both physically and psychologically.
Just as she was about to surrender, another voice in her heart jumped out to tell her:
Xuan Yuchi, you are not a child anymore. Why do you still need Yun Chen to comfort you in this way every time your heat cycle arrives?
Besides, given Yun Chen’s current situation, it’s really inappropriate!
Xuan Yuchi pinched her right arm with her left hand, the pain bringing her back to her senses. She quickly said, “Sister Bian, I think I’m feeling better.”
What greeted her was a patch of darkness.
Bian Yunchen’s hand covered her eyes, a little warmer than before, the palm slightly hot.
Xuan Yuchi held her breath, and that warmth became even more apparent.
Could it be… Sister Bian was also feeling a bit hot?
Xuan Yuchi: “Sister Bian, I feel like I’m even hotter.”
Bian Yunchen: “Don’t talk.”
Her fingers rested on Xuan Yuchi’s eyes, and her palm was just against Xuan Yuchi’s nose. When Xuan Yuchi exhaled, a tiny stream of air sprayed onto her palm.
Gradually, Bian Yunchen’s breathing synchronized with the person on her lap.
Xuan Yuchi discovered in her freshman year that the one thing more effective than inhibitors in the world was Yun Chen’s comfort.
After that, every time her heat cycle came, she just had to rest her head on Bian Yunchen’s lap, let her cover her eyes, and she would fall asleep.
It was for this reason that Xuan Yuchi once said she and Yun Chen were a match made in heaven.
Bian Yunchen moved her hand away and quietly looked at Xuan Yuchi’s sleeping face for a while, lightly tapping her lips with her finger.
Perhaps the environment was too quiet, her voice seemed to carry a hint of fondness: “After I’ve dealt with others, I’ll deal with you properly.”
Xuan Yuchi’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
Fortunately, she wasn’t caught.
She successfully played possum until Bian Yunchen left, but she didn’t see the fleeting, mischievous smile on Yun Chen’s face the moment she pulled the door shut.
Xuan Yuchi felt a chill in her heart.
Xuan Yuchi: [System, what does Sister Bian mean by saying she’ll deal with me…]
System: [It means she’ll deal with you. Yun Chen is playing the role of the aloof, crazy and obsessive Film Queen in the Scumbag Alpha novel. You not only abandoned her, but you also stirred up trouble with some romantic entanglements abroad…]
The system stopped short.
Xuan Yuchi shivered: [But, I feel like Sister Bian still has feelings for me. She wouldn’t go that far, right?]
System: [Not necessarily. Affected by the Scumbag Alpha novel’s settings, people who haven’t awakened might just do some crazy things.]
It seemed she needed to restore the world to normal as soon as possible.
The next day was the last day of the fashion show, and BALI, which had been hot for a week, finally had a light rain.
Xuan Yuchi accompanied Bian Yunchen to the show venue, then asked the driver to take her to LV DREAM by the Seine River.
Yu Ming had already arrived and pre-ordered a few dishes. The exquisite small plates covered a table, and the sight immediately cheered up Xuan Yuchi.
Yu Ming smiled and asked her, “Is there anything else you’d like to eat?”
Xuan Yuchi took a sip of cappuccino: “I want a chocolate mini-cake.”
Yu Ming: “Okay, I’ll ask them to add one for you.”
Xuan Yuchi picked up a fork, her eyes so eager they were almost falling into the plate.
Yu Ming: “Eat, eat. Don’t be shy with Auntie.”
Xuan Yuchi: “Mhm!”
Ten minutes later, Xuan Yuchi leaned back in her chair and let out a soft burp.
“Auntie, what did you want to see me about?” she suddenly remembered to ask.
Yu Ming: “Auntie wants to thank you. Yesterday, Yun Chen had someone ask our company for the script. After reading it, she asked us to revise it. It seems she is interested in a collaboration.”
Xuan Yuchi was slightly surprised. So the thick script Yun Chen was reading yesterday was the one sent by Auntie’s company.
Xuan Yuchi gave a thumbs-up: “It must be because your company’s script is truly excellent that Yun Chen is considering it.”
Yu Ming: “It’s still thanks to you. We’ve tried every means to get the same script to Yun Chen before, but she rejected it. This time, I think it’s because of your presence.”
Xuan Yuchi managed a few forced laughs.
If it were before, she would have thought the same.
But remembering Yun Chen saying she would deal with her yesterday, Xuan Yuchi shuddered.
The phone rang. Yu Ming saw the caller’s name, stood up, and said, “Excuse me, I need to take a call outside.”
Xuan Yuchi nodded. The chocolate mini-cake was served, immediately capturing all her attention.
Yu Ming walked to the main entrance before calling back: “Baby what’s wrong?”
Shi Yan: “Why did you ask someone to persuade me to revise the script? I already said I’m very busy now, managing the company and taking care of things at home!”
Yu Ming: “Baby, but you once said that being a scriptwriter was your favorite thing to do! This time, Bian Yunchen has taken an interest in your script. If this project passes, Mom will definitely do her best to secure investment and cast, and maybe even aim for an international award.”
The other side fell silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her tone was not as agitated as before: “Mom, being a scriptwriter was my dream a long time ago. It’s not suitable for me anymore.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Yu Ming sighed and returned inside dispiritedly.
Yu Ming: “Child, there is one thing Auntie needs to trouble you with.”
Xuan Yuchi put down her fork and wiped the chocolate stain from the corner of her mouth with a napkin: “Just say it, Auntie.”
Yu Ming: “The scriptwriter who previously wrote the script cannot continue to participate in the creation due to personal reasons. We might have to find someone else to revise the script, but rest assured, we will find the best scriptwriter in the industry.”
Xuan Yuchi didn’t think it was a big deal. She had heard her professor talk in class that it was not uncommon for a project’s script to go through ten scriptwriters.
Although Yun Chen was discerning, she should be understanding of this point.
Xuan Yuchi: “No problem.”
“But Auntie, why wouldn’t that scriptwriter participate in such a good project?” she asked curiously.
Yu Ming: “She…”
Tears welled up in Yu Ming’s eyes. She looked down and shook her head with regret, like a silent sigh.
Xuan Yuchi handed over two tissues, looking at her with a pure expression.
“Thank you,” Yu Ming took the tissues, and looking at Xuan Yuchi’s innocent and naive appearance, she only felt how wonderful it was.
It was best for young girls to be a little silly and pure like this, without worries.
She genuinely liked the girl in front of her.
Yu Ming took a deep breath: “Actually, she is my daughter. She has had a talent for writing since she was a child. Her essays were often read as excellent compositions by her class teachers. She always won the top prize in national essay competitions whenever she participated.”
Xuan Yuchi chimed in appropriately: “That’s amazing!”
A trace of pride also flashed across Yu Ming’s face: “Later, she collaborated on a movie with a classmate in college and officially entered the industry. Back then, all my colleagues and friends said my daughter had a limitless future.”
“And then…” Yu Ming hesitated a little.
Xuan Yuchi encouraged her: “What happened then?”
Yu Ming: “Then she met her current wife and focused on her family.”
Ah…
Xuan Yuchi thought, Isn’t this the story of a fairy marrying a mortal and voluntarily giving up all her immortal powers just to be a good wife and mother?
Seeing Auntie’s regret and heartache, Xuan Yuchi couldn’t help but say, “Auntie, why don’t I give it a try?”
System: [Congratulations, you have unlocked the side quest, “Coming to the Aid of the Oppressed”. Due to your meddlesome nature, you often cause some trouble, but sometimes, you also encounter some unique opportunities that make your life more exciting.]
Xuan Yuchi: [Everything that happens is for my benefit. Most of what I, the Host, encounter are opportunities, OK?]
System: [Mhm.]
Yu Ming didn’t react immediately: “You can write scripts too?”
Xuan Yuchi was drinking her cappuccino and almost choked: “Cough, cough, cough, no, I mean, I will try to persuade your daughter and reawaken her passion for creation.”
Yu Ming smiled. She, as her mother, had tried countless methods over the years without success.
What kind of unique trick could this young girl possibly have?
But then again, this was what was endearing about Xuan Yuchi—she didn’t dwell on hypothetical difficulties before acting. Sometimes, she truly brought unexpected surprises.
Just like successfully dealing with Bian Yunchen this time.
Yu Ming raised her coffee cup: “Okay, tell Auntie if you need any help. Come, Auntie toasts you.”
Xuan Yuchi showed a smile and lightly clinked her cup with Yu Ming’s: “Don’t worry, I was the mental health representative in my class in college.”
At the table not far from Xuan Yuchi sat a young woman wearing CELINE sunglasses.
She seemed to have heard Xuan Yuchi’s words, and the eyes behind the sunglasses rolled.
Listening further, it was just meaningless chatter, like “This cake is so delicious, even better than the one I had at that store back home.”
The snacks and coffee on the table remained untouched. The woman stood up and turned around to look at Xuan Yuchi for two seconds without any reservations, a subtle, contemptuous smile playing on the corner of her mouth.
Even so, Xuan Yuchi still didn’t notice the woman before she left.
The rain outside had stopped, and the sky was clear and clean. Xuan Yuchi checked the time. It was time to go back and pick up Yun Chen.
Yu Ming told her to go ahead. She had no schedule today and planned to linger outside for a while longer.
Xuan Yuchi said goodbye to her and went outside to hail a car. Just as she reached out her hand, a white Porsche Cayenne sped toward her, almost touching her fingers.
She quickly pulled her hand back, glaring at the car, her heart still pounding.
A smartly dressed woman, who looked like she was in her forties and of mixed heritage, stepped out of the passenger seat.
“Miss Xuan, hello. I am here on behalf of Minister Bai Ci to invite you as a guest. She has important matters to inform you.”
Xuan Yuchi frowned: “Who is Bai Ci?”
Margot: “Minister Bai Ci is Miss Bai Fu’s aunt.”
Hearing Bai Fu’s name, Xuan Yuchi immediately became wary: “I’m not familiar with the Bai family. I’m not going.”
Margot smiled, leaned in, and whispered in her ear: “It concerns the injustice of the Xuan family’s case back then.”
She was very eloquent, or rather, Bai Ci knew exactly the Xuan family’s sore spot.
It was Bai Yi who was in charge of investigating the Xuan family back then, and now Bai Ci had someone use the words “injustice of the case.”
Xuan Yuchi had no reason not to go.
