I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 41

A dog, she was just a dog!

At the luggage storage area.

Xuan Yuchi dragged her large bags, confirmed the price with the boss, and instructed him to look after her belongings carefully.

“Don’t worry,” the boss said with a smile as he accepted the money. “It’s almost closing time. Once the door is locked, you can rest easy until you come back tomorrow. Nothing will go wrong.”

Xuan Yuchi tapped her fingers on the glass cabinet twice and said with a flair, “See you tomorrow.”

System: “Loading current mission. Please proceed to Room 1780 of the Jiuzhi Grand Hotel and rescue Bian Yunchen.”

Xuan Yuchi stopped in her tracks, then quickened her pace, her heart fluttering. It had been three years since she last saw Yunchen. She wondered how she was doing now.

Bian Yunchen’s endorsement was rolling on the large screen in the best location of the business district, covering the entire exterior wall of the building.

Rainwater crawled across the car window, blurring the image of the person on the screen.

Xuan Yuchi rested her chin in her hand, thinking. To have an advertisement here, Yunchen must be one of the top celebrities in the country. It seemed she had been doing well these years.

Xuan Yuchi: What happened to her? Why does she need me to rescue her?

The System transmitted some public information to her.

Xuan Yuchi raised her eyebrows in shock.

Well, the collapse of this world had indeed reached an appalling degree.

Even Yunchen would compromise herself and fall into the muddle of marriage.

A subtle change occurred in Xuan Yuchi’s heart, as if she should have felt sympathy and anger, but these emotions were instantly extinguished as soon as they emerged.

The humidified aromatherapy mist sprayed out, floating in the dimly lit room.

A sneaky figure quietly entered the room, turned on the aroma diffuser, and dripped a small bottle of thick liquid into it.

Fifteen minutes later, Bian Yunchen finished the script reading session in the hotel conference room, walked into the room, immediately kicked off her high heels, changed into comfortable slippers, and sank tiredly onto the sofa, quietly savoring the customized high-end perfume in the room.

She dozed off on the sofa for a while, gradually feeling warm. She unfastened the third button of her short-sleeved shirt.

Still hot, she simply slipped off the sheer stockings on her legs and unbuttoned another button.

The air conditioner was set to $16^{circ} mathrm{C}$. Bian Yunchen suspected she had a fever and planned to take a hot bath. A strange sensation was churning in her body; it felt like ants were crawling on her, an unknown soreness, and an immense desire for… comfort.

She suddenly realized this was not a fever.

Was her heat cycle unstable again?

The room door opened, and Bian Yunchen’s gaze watched alertly as a person was forcefully pushed in and fell to the floor.

The door closed, accompanied by the sound of locking.

Bian Yunchen picked up the phone to call Amy, but the call wouldn’t go through; her phone had no signal.

Bastard.

She instantly understood what had happened and coldly looked at Bai Fu, who was climbing up from the floor.

At this moment, every bit of alpha scent made her instinctively want to approach.

Bian Yunchen sat on the sofa, clutching her skirt tightly, suppressing the shameful biological response of an omega. However, her heavy, suggestive gasps and the blush on her cheeks, like someone who had been drinking, betrayed her.

Her willpower was not enough to fight her nature. Although she had been learning how to suppress her instincts since birth, no one had ever taught her how to remain unmoved in a situation like this.

A sense of shame tightly enveloped Bian Yunchen. Her body became stiff, she was sweating profusely, and her face gradually turned pale.

Bai Fu put on a helpless expression but slowly walked closer to her: “Achen, my mother forced me to come here, too, but I won’t touch you.”

“Don’t come any closer,” Bian Yunchen’s voice trembled slightly.

With every inch she approached, her psychological defense crumbled a little more.

Bian Yunchen closed her eyes in despair, wishing she could just pass out right now.

Bai Fu stopped where she was: “I know you’re in a lot of pain right now, but holding back will only make it worse. I won’t mark you without your permission.”

She bit down hard on the inside of her cheek, causing two tears to well up: “It pains me to see you like this. Let me hold you; perhaps that will make you feel a little better.”

Bian Yunchen’s entire body began to tremble, reaching the brink of collapse.

She recalled the elders’ teachings.

“An S-class omega who doesn’t get effective relief during their heat cycle will suffer more than death. This is the price of possessing superior abilities.”

Therefore, S-class omegas usually carry inhibitors before their heat cycle arrives. Unfortunately, Bian Yunchen’s heat cycle was too unstable, and with her abilities, it would be easy to obtain inhibitors at any time.

She never expected the Bai family to use such a despicable method.

If Bai Fu, an S-class alpha, were to force a mark on her now, she would truly have no recourse.

System 321: [Detection: The aloof O’s favorability towards you is rising.]

Bai Fu was delighted: [The upright persona I’ve established for myself is absolutely spot-on.]

Bian Yunchen felt as if some force was driving her to accept Bai Fu. Her head was throbbing, and she was temporarily unable to make a decision.

The room was set to Do Not Disturb mode. Xuan Yuchi rang the doorbell several times outside, but there was no sound.

It seemed she had to force her way in.

Xuan Yuchi chose the lock-picking toolkit over the axe and chainsaw.

She took out the professional tools and fiddled with them for a while before being driven away by the patrolling hotel staff.

Xuan Yuchi lingered outside the hotel building. This time, she drew the favor of the gods.

System:Congratulations! You have obtained the favor of the gods—Flying Weaver Girl. Reward description: The Weaver Girl accidentally strayed into the mortal world, had her clothes stolen by an alien, and could no longer fly back to heaven. The angry Weaver Girl killed the alien and its ox, skinned them to make a flying cloak, and successfully returned home.

A cloak, invisible and intangible, woven from rain, was draped around Xuan Yuchi’s neck. Dense fog drifted over, concealing a person who ascended right where she stood.

Screaming all the way, Xuan Yuchi was delivered to the window of a room on the 17th floor. She opened the slightly ajar window and climbed in.

The bedroom light was off, and the door was closed. Xuan Yuchi gently opened the door a crack, only to see Bai Fu sitting down next to Bian Yunchen.

System: Oh no! Bai Fu is playing innocent to increase Bian Yunchen’s favorability towards her.

It looked like Bian Yunchen’s heat cycle had arrived. The System said the two had a contractual marriage with no real affection. At this moment, Bai Fu and Bian Yunchen were locked in a room together. Anyone could guess what was happening.

Bian Yunchen had been set up.

Although Xuan Yuchi had run away from the marriage three years ago, it didn’t mean she would stand by and watch someone bully Yunchen, especially using such a despicable method.

Xuan Yuchi rushed out, grabbed Bai Fu by the shoulder, and threw her to the side.

The moment Bian Yunchen clearly saw the person who arrived, her pupils contracted, and her face was filled with disbelief. At the same time, her tense body relaxed a little.

It was also an alpha scent, but she accepted Xuan Yuchi’s without resistance.

Bai Fu was still sprawled on the ground, saying with a look of seeing a ghost, “Why is she in your room?!”

Xuan Yuchi went over and grabbed her collar: “I’d like to ask you why you’re here?”

Bai Fu said tearfully: “Achen, even if you don’t accept me, you don’t have to humiliate me like this in front of me. I get hurt, too.”

For the past three years, she had inquired about Bian Yunchen every day, cared about her career, tried every means to find out her schedule, and revolved around her whenever she had time, occasionally giving small, heartfelt gifts that weren’t very expensive.

In her spare time, she also had to secretly mess around with other omegas.

She was very busy, okay?

Bian Yunchen had nothing to be dissatisfied with, considering how much of a simp she was.

Yet, she was somehow getting involved with Xuan Yuchi behind her back again.

System 321: [Host, don’t panic. Looking at Bian Yunchen’s reaction, Xuan Yuchi must have just returned. Maintain your persona.]

Bai Fu didn’t resist, letting Xuan Yuchi hold her, seemingly hoping Xuan Yuchi would slap her so she could play the innocent white lotus.

She spoke weakly: “Since you’re back, I hope you won’t break Yunchen’s heart again this time.”

Xuan Yuchi sneered: “Do you think Sister Bian is the type of person to be constrained by petty romance?”

Bian Yunchen’s temple pulsed, and her head grew dizzier. So, she had been given a compliment.

Xuan Yuchi continued: “We are open and honest, unlike you, who has ill intentions, slipped her some kind of drug, and is pretending to be forced to be locked in here.”

Bai Fu immediately retorted: “Achen, my mother really did pressure me into coming here.”

“Did you call for help even once on the way here when you were supposedly pressured?” Xuan Yuchi stared at her, “And this kind of thing, if you weren’t willing, it couldn’t happen, right? Your mother knows it couldn’t happen, yet she still did this? Don’t tell me you were drugged, too.”

Bai Fu was speechless, her eyes brimming with tears, and she repeated confusedly: “I… I was forced…”

Xuan Yuchi couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, took out a lighter, and ignited the smoke detector. Hotel staff arrived upon hearing the sound and opened the malfunctioning door.

Xuan Yuchi asked them for a shot of inhibitor on the way.

Bai Fu was furious. She couldn’t keep up the act, so she left for a moment and then came back in.

Her phone rang, and upon answering, she was met with Bai Yi’s stern questioning.

“If you can’t even handle this small matter, you should just die instead of thinking about taking over the Bai family!”

Bai Yi’s raging anger only made Bai Fu seem more innocent and pitiable.

“Mother, please don’t do things like this anymore…”

Xuan Yuchi leaned against the sofa with her arms crossed, her tone full of mockery, and interrupted her immediately: “Please stop doing such vile things, both of you.”

Bai Fu, teary-eyed, said: “Achen, I owe you an apology for this time. I will compensate you.”

After saying that, she cursed Xuan Yuchi in her heart and regretfully withdrew.

Xuan Yuchi closed the door, intending to take alcohol to sterilize Bian Yunchen’s arm, but Bian Yunchen was a step ahead of her, picking up the alcohol and completing the sterilization and injection in one smooth motion, more skillfully than washing her face.

“What are you back for?” Bian Yunchen’s voice was weak. She pressed the cotton swab against her arm, looking at Xuan Yuchi with a somewhat hazy gaze.

A drop of glistening sweat slid from her bloodless face. At this moment, she was like a sick rose, her captivating beauty hiding a precarious heart that seemed like it would shatter if one merely touched her.

Xuan Yuchi, however, couldn’t interpret these subtleties and stated frankly: “I’m back in the country to handle some things.”

The corner of Bian Yunchen’s mouth curled into a mocking smile. As expected, a heartless person remains heartless no matter how many years pass.

She really wanted to tell her to get lost.

Bian Yunchen stood up to throw the cotton swab into the trash can across the room, but a sudden dizziness struck her. She held her forehead and almost lost her balance.

“What’s wrong?” Xuan Yuchi stepped forward to support her onto the sofa.

Then she realized: it was said that an omega who desperately resists with willpower during their heat cycle consumes an extreme amount of life force. Even the inhibitor shot wouldn’t immediately help.

Bian Yunchen typed a string of addresses on her phone and handed it to Xuan Yuchi: “Take me here.”

Then, she closed her eyes, seemingly having fainted.

Xuan Yuchi lifted one of her eyelids, then the other, and saw her butterfly-like eyelashes flutter slightly. She then hoisted Bian Yunchen onto her back.

Xuan Yuchi: You scared me, I thought she had died.

System 666: Why would the host say that?

Xuan Yuchi thought for a moment: [She looks sickly, like she could pass away at any moment. She definitely doesn’t like eating staple foods and is suffering from insufficient qi and blood.

Having traveled the world, Xuan Yuchi often dealt with minor injuries and illnesses, becoming an amateur doctor with good knowledge of maintaining vitality.

Bian Yunchen felt sick and wanted to vomit. She lifted her head and bit hard on Xuan Yuchi’s neck, making her yelp in pain.

“Why are you biting me?”

Bian Yunchen endured the discomfort and replied flatly: “Why did you lift my eyelids? Did you think I was faking it?”

Although the momentary fainting she’d just experienced was indeed faked.

Xuan Yuchi: “No.”

The two-word reply sounded cold to an attentive listener.

Three years had passed, and things had changed.

Bian Yunchen stopped talking, feeling quite ridiculous about herself.

Xuan Yuchi carried her downstairs but didn’t feel tired at all. Yunchen was too light. She heard that female celebrities had to be extremely thin, almost skin and bones, to look good on camera.

While Yunchen wasn’t exactly skin and bones, she didn’t have much flesh on her. How could she live like this? If she got seriously ill, she would be gone in a flash.

As a childhood friend, and her ex-girlfriend, ex-fiancée.

Xuan Yuchi felt it was her duty to remind her: “You need to eat more rice, more vegetables, and more meat.”

Bian Yunchen’s head rested on her shoulder; she had already fallen asleep.

Xuan Yuchi: “Huh?”

She really had fainted this time.

She carried her into a taxi, asking the driver to turn up the air conditioning. She suddenly remembered Bian Yunchen was a celebrity, so she quickly moved the hair on both sides to the center to cover her face.

The car was dark. When the driver looked in the rearview mirror, his eyes widened a bit in fear, and he tried to speed up.

The Fengxiao Chinese Medicine Clinic was open 24 hours a day, and the sign in front shone brightly, the only light on the entire street.

Xuan Yuchi was wary of a small clinic on this kind of back street. She walked closer and saw a security bolt on the inner side of the door.

She woke Yunchen up: “How about we go to a big hospital instead?”

Bian Yunchen took out her phone, and she had a signal.

It seemed the hotel was partly responsible for her being set up this time.

Bian Yunchen made a call. The owner, Feng Xiao, tumbled out of bed, put on her slippers, and sleepily went downstairs.

She unlocked the door, went into the inner room to fetch her lab coat, and pushed a small cart out.

Bian Yunchen lay on the small bed, feeling a bit cold, and subconsciously curled up.

Xuan Yuchi reached for the nearby sheet to cover her.

Feng Xiao: “Hold on, don’t.”

Feng Xiao closed the inner curtain: “Take off her shirt.”

As soon as Xuan Yuchi touched the hem of Bian Yunchen’s shirt, she heard a line.

“I’ll do it myself.”

The tone was five parts indifferent, three parts distant, and two parts polite.

Xuan Yuchi withdrew her hand and touched her neck.

Could Yunchen still be angry about her running away from the wedding? It had been so many years, and she was doing fine as a major celebrity now.

“Turn around.”

This was clearly directed at Xuan Yuchi.

She obediently turned around and, after a thought, explained: “About what happened back then…”

System: The previous mission is complete. Current total mission progress is 5%. A new mission is starting. Mission objective: Since you are an ex, deal a blow to accelerate Bian Yunchen’s divorce.

Xuan Yuchi braked just in time and changed her words: “It was a lack of consideration on my part.”

Feng Xiao suppressed a smile, but her hand was steady as she jabbed the needle into the sterilized spot. Before long, Bian Yunchen was pricked like a little hedgehog.

Bian Yunchen didn’t respond, which meant she hadn’t accepted the apology.

Feng Xiao said: “You stay here and keep her company. I’m going back to catch up on my sleep.”

Xuan Yuchi found a small stool for herself and sat down, still with her back to Bian Yunchen.

After a long time, just as she was about to fall asleep, Bian Yunchen suddenly said, “Aunt Huo had an accident two years ago and hasn’t woken up.”

Xuan Yuchi looked back at her in surprise, then quickly closed her eyes as if she had seen something she shouldn’t have: “Sister Bian, you’re not joking with me, are you?”

She remembered that when she left, although the family was in decline, both her mother and her stepmother were in good health. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left for three years.

Bian Yunchen hummed a confirmation.

A tear fell from Xuan Yuchi’s eye: “Okay, I’ll go see her later.”

“Go now. I’ll call my assistant,” Bian Yunchen sighed softly.

Xuan Yuchi took a taxi to the First Hospital downtown. The moment she walked into the room, she couldn’t help but cry. The caregiver beside her woke up and asked her blankly, “Who are you?”

Xuan Yuchi collapsed by her mother’s bedside: “Mom, how did you end up like this…”

She stayed in the ward all night. The next day, she met her mother.

Xuan Ling asked her what she planned to do next.

Xuan Yuchi was heartbroken, but when analyzing the question, the floodgates of her sorrow were mysteriously turned off.

She said: “I’ll stay and keep Mom company for a month before I leave.”

In the past, Xuan Ling would have definitely scolded her daughter for being ungrateful.

When Xuan Yuchi ran away from the marriage, the Xuan family had also sent people to look for her.

Her wife had tried to persuade her several times to let go and give her daughter freedom.

Huo Tian had been lying in the hospital for more than two years. The only time she miraculously woke up was in the middle of the night. Xuan Ling was there that night, and she told Xuan Ling, “If Xiao Chi comes back, don’t let her stay here to watch over me. Let her go as far away as possible.”

Xuan Ling mentioned this miracle to the doctor, who checked the heart rate monitor and said there was no such thing, that Xuan Ling was missing her too much.

Xuan Ling stroked her daughter’s head: “Okay.”

“However, you need to sincerely apologize to Yunchen. Your mother’s medical expenses and nursing fees these years have been paid from her account.”

Xuan Yuchi was touched and decided that no matter how much effort it took, she had to pull Yunchen out of the quagmire of marriage.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

A woman in a professional suit walked in, carrying a briefcase: “Excuse me, I have something to inform Miss Xuan Yuchi about.”

Xuan Yuchi followed her to the stairwell. After hearing what she had to say, all of Xuan Yuchi’s gratitude vanished.

Working as Bian Yunchen’s life assistant, on call 24 hours a day, doing whatever she was told, with service coverage ranging from work to emotional life.

“How is this any different from being her dog?” Xuan Yuchi grasped the core point.

The lawyer smiled: “Of course, you can also choose to pay back the money immediately. If you can’t, it might be difficult for you to go abroad.”
