The Five Heartless Scumbag Alphas Turned Against Each Other Because Of Me - Chapter 102

She struggled to push Cheng Yuan away. Just then, Ning Xi, who had just stepped out of the bathroom after dealing with a towel, was suddenly confronted with such an intimate and suggestive scene. Startled, she dropped the towel in her hands.

Shocked and alarmed, Ning Xi rushed forward, trying to separate the two.
“What are you doing?! How could you seduce Yuan Yuan like this?!”

Tan Hua blinked, clearly confused. “Huh?” Her face was practically a meme of disbelief.

She couldn’t help but feel wronged—utterly wronged, more than even Dou E from those old tragedies.
“I’m a pregnant Omega. How could I possibly be seducing her?”

She rolled her eyes at Ning Xi in frustration, but before she could say more, Cheng Yuan unexpectedly planted a kiss on her gland, causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably again.
“Hurry! Pull her off—she’s biting my gland!”

Panic-stricken, Ning Xi grew more and more flustered. Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
“I can’t! Yuan Yuan’s holding onto you too tightly—I can’t pull her away,” she said, eyes turning red as she stared blankly at Cheng Yuan, whose bloodshot eyes made her look nearly unrecognizable.
“So… it turns out, Yuan Yuan really does like you.”

“But… I’ve known her for over twenty years. I’m her childhood friend…” Ning Xi’s voice cracked, her nose tingling with the sting of held-back tears. At such a critical moment, the person Yuan Yuan chose wasn’t her—but another Omega who had nothing to do with them.

How was she supposed to accept that?

Ning Xi’s eyes welled up. While Tan Hua was barely managing to handle Cheng Yuan, she threw her a look that practically screamed, “Really? You’re jealous now, of all times?”

Tan Hua’s intense gaze must’ve finally broken through the haze, because Ning Xi suddenly came back to her senses. She forced herself to put on a brave face and gave a weak, awkward smile.
“Well… since Yuan Yuan likes you so much and clearly wants to be close to you, then maybe… maybe you could just bear with it for now.”

“It’s not like it’ll cause you any… negative effects,” she added. “Once the doctor arrives, it’ll all be over. And both Yuan Yuan and I will be truly grateful.”

Tan Hua stared at her in disbelief. “What, so my life doesn’t matter now?”

She gave Ning Xi a long, meaningful look.
“I may be pregnant, but I’m still a young woman with blood in my veins. Aren’t you afraid I’ll get… turned on and do something inappropriate with her?”

Ning Xi hesitated. “…That’s not possible, right?”

She gave Tan Hua a once-over, her gaze finally landing on Tan Hua’s slightly rounded belly.
“You’re pregnant, aren’t you? Can you even… do stuff like that?”

“Why not?” Tan Hua sneered. “You clearly know nothing about human biology.”

“Besides, I’m four months along. I’m in the safe period now, so yes—this kind of ‘stuff’ is medically permitted.” She shrugged innocently, then gave a dazzling grin.
“If you don’t believe me, feel free to look it up online.”

Ning Xi was speechless. She was so shaken by Tan Hua’s calm explanation that she immediately scrambled to pick up the phone Tan Hua had dropped. Desperately, she began calling Dr. Xu again and again.

After around ten tries, Xu Fengqi finally answered. Before Ning Xi could even catch her breath, she blurted out,
“Doctor, help! Someone here’s been drugged!”

Xu Fengqi instantly noticed that it wasn’t Tan Hua speaking, and assuming something had happened to her, he tensed up immediately.
“What happened? Speak slowly—don’t panic.”

Then, unable to help himself, he added,
“Wait—wasn’t Tan Hua pregnant? Why would she be messing around with that kind of shady stuff?”

Tan Hua: “…”

She smiled while staring at Ning Xi, who was suddenly looking a little guilty. When are you going to repay what you owe me?

Since Ning Xi clearly wasn’t going to be helpful, Tan Hua simply snatched her phone back and said calmly,
“It’s not me. It’s a friend of mine.”

But when Cheng Yuan bit her again, she couldn’t help speeding up her speech.
“Her condition is serious—get here immediately!”

“Otherwise, my baby might not make it because I’m way too excited!”

Ning Xi: “?”

Xu Fengqi: “…”

After hearing that, Xu Fengqi immediately understood the gravity of the situation. He didn’t dare delay a second longer. He quickly called two specialists and drove straight to Tan Hua’s location using the coordinates she’d sent.

Tan Hua hadn’t called emergency services. Instead, she used her private line—clearly out of concern for the other party’s privacy. Xu Fengqi appreciated that and handled things accordingly.

Still, this was something Lu Huaixu definitely needed to be informed of—just in case he came knocking later, demanding answers.

Now that the doctor had been contacted, Ning Xi finally relaxed a little. That’s when she noticed the towel she had just cleaned was now dirty again. She was about to turn and get another one, but hesitated. Her eyes shifted from Cheng Yuan to Tan Hua.
“…Can you handle this on your own?”

“Women never say ‘can’t.’” Tan Hua waved her hand listlessly. “Just go. Don’t waste time standing around.”

Ning Xi nodded and hurried into the bathroom, soaking a fresh towel as quickly as she could.

Once Ning Xi was gone, Tan Hua finally had a moment to deal with Cheng Yuan. Looking at the girl—clearly not in her right mind—Tan Hua cursed silently.
Who the hell is this cruel? Drugging an innocent young woman like this.

If whoever it was had actually succeeded… Tan Hua didn’t even want to imagine the consequences.

Whether it was some psycho stalker trying to take advantage of Cheng Yuan’s body or someone after her money, it was disgusting all the same.

Women are not objects to be used and discarded at will.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her temples throbbed, and for a moment she even forgot to deal with Cheng Yuan.

Ning Xi returned, towel in hand, and caught sight of Tan Hua’s dignified restraint in the midst of chaos. Her feelings grew complicated.

So I really did wrongly accuse her.

Sure, Tan Hua was usually a shameless loudmouth with no filter, the type who could drive anyone up the wall. But in this moment, her moral integrity and self-control were genuinely moving.

Ning Xi was overwhelmed by mixed emotions. It wasn’t until Tan Hua snapped at her that she snapped back to reality.

“What are you spacing out for?! Look what she did to my neck!”

Tan Hua raised her hand, pointing at her skin with grief and outrage.

Following her gaze, Ning Xi’s eyes landed on the pale, delicate skin of Tan Hua’s neck—now covered in smudged lipstick and countless deep bite marks. It looked pretty gruesome at first glance. Yet, on Tan Hua, it was somehow… darkly funny.

Ning Xi fought back a laugh and stepped forward to help wipe the sweat off Cheng Yuan. At the same time, she whispered to Tan Hua in a low voice,
“Just hang in there. Once Yuan Yuan comes to her senses, she’ll probably feel so guilty she’ll overcompensate without holding back.”

“When you two resolve your misunderstanding and become friends, won’t that be a win for you?”

Tan Hua understood the logic, but the problem was—being bitten by the heroine really hurt. When Cheng Yuan sank her teeth into her again, Tan Hua had had enough. She slammed her hand down, pressing Cheng Yuan back onto the bed with a grimace.

“Stop it! Behave yourself!”

“Don’t move!”

Cheng Yuan couldn’t understand what was happening. She simply stared at Tan Hua with those teary, pitiful eyes.

Ning Xi was instantly swayed by the look on her face. Hands on her hips, she blurted out,
“What’s the big deal about letting her kiss you a few times…?”

But under Tan Hua’s fierce glare, Ning Xi quietly shut her mouth and went back to helping cool Cheng Yuan down.

This woman’s scary. I can’t afford to piss her off—I better just stay out of her way.

Dr. Xu Fengqi was still a distance away from the hotel, so he needed some time to arrive. As a result, Lu Huaixu—who had also been notified—was the first to show up.

A knock at the door startled both Tan Hua and Ning Xi. Their eyes met immediately, and the same thought flashed through their minds: Could it be the person who drugged her coming back to finish the job?

Ning Xi hesitated for a moment.
“Should I go check?” she asked.

Tan Hua nodded but furrowed her brow.
“Be careful,” she said seriously.

“Got it.” Ning Xi took a deep breath and quietly approached the door, her footsteps deliberately light. Her heart pounded in her chest, afraid that any delay in answering might cause the person outside to break in by force.

She trembled as she reached the door, finally mustering the courage to glance at the video intercom. When she saw that it was Lu Huaixu, her entire body relaxed, almost collapsing with relief.

“It’s President Lu,” she called over her shoulder, then opened the door.

Lu Huaixu stood at the threshold, unmoving. She glanced inside but couldn’t get a clear view of what was happening. Still, if things were really as bad as Dr. Xu described, stepping in herself as an Alpha might only make things worse. So she simply lowered her head and asked Ning Xi,
“What’s the situation inside?”

“Not great,” Ning Xi admitted, eyes darting slightly. Both Yuan Yuan and Tan Hua… were in pretty bad shape.

Lu Huaixu’s expression turned serious. She nodded toward Ning Xi.
“Go back in and help. I’ll wait here for the others.”

With Lu Huaixu standing guard, Ning Xi felt a sense of security return. She nodded without hesitation and quickly ran back to Tan Hua—only to find her sitting there with a hand propped under her chin, lost in thought…

…until Cheng Yuan suddenly bit her on the arm.

Tan Hua’s expression immediately twisted in pain. Ning Xi couldn’t help but laugh under her breath and looked away, finding the scene too ridiculous to watch. If Cheng Yuan weren’t clearly out of her mind, Ning Xi would’ve suspected this was some kind of personal revenge.

Cheng Yuan had a surprisingly strong bite. Feeling the sharp pain shoot through her arm, Tan Hua gritted her teeth, forced Cheng Yuan back down onto the bed, and turned to Ning Xi with a deadly serious expression.
“Maybe we should tie her up with a rope or something.”

Better one of us gets hurt than both.

Ning Xi looked hesitant.
“Yuan Yuan’s got delicate skin… If we leave marks from the rope, that’s going to be hard to explain later.”

“Oh? And I don’t have delicate skin?” Tan Hua stared at her, her voice low and threatening.

Caught by that dangerous glare, Ning Xi quickly lowered her eyes and pretended she hadn’t seen anything.
“But maybe… the reason Yuan Yuan’s acting this way is because she kept subconsciously telling herself—before she lost control—not to let anyone take advantage of her…”

“I think,” Ning Xi said seriously, “she probably sees you as the bad guy. That’s why she keeps biting you.”

Tan Hua: “…”

As much as she hated to admit it, Ning Xi’s theory actually made some sense. It was what she had initially suspected too.

So Tan Hua said nothing, instead lowering her gaze toward Cheng Yuan lying on the bed, her hair a tangled mess. Her fair skin was now flushed a deep, unnatural red. Her eyes were tightly shut, but her lashes fluttered constantly, as if she were trying desperately to open them and see what was happening around her.

But under the drug’s influence, no matter how hard she tried, she simply couldn’t.

A wave of helplessness, anxiety, and frustration welled up in her chest. Even her delicate, arched brows drew together slightly, adding a touch of grievance to her already pitiful appearance—it was truly a sight to stir anyone’s sympathy.

But no matter how beautiful the heroine was, letting her keep biting like this clearly wasn’t a long-term solution.

After a moment of contemplation, Tan Hua suddenly leaned in toward Cheng Yuan. Ning Xi was startled by the movement and nearly let out a cry, only to be silenced by Tan Hua covering her mouth.

“I’m Tan Hua,” she said softly, clearing her throat before leaning close to whisper into Cheng Yuan’s ear. “You’re safe now.”

Hearing that, Ning Xi immediately turned to gauge Cheng Yuan’s reaction.

“I called a trustworthy doctor. He’s already on his way,” Tan Hua continued. Sensing that the pressure from Cheng Yuan’s bite was gradually loosening, she added, “Lu Huaixu is standing guard outside. No one is going to leak what happened here.”

A few seconds after her words fell, the deep furrow between Cheng Yuan’s brows finally began to ease, as if she’d recognized Tan Hua’s voice.

Tan Hua let out a small breath of relief. Then she turned to Ning Xi.
“Has the banquet started yet? You should call a couple of people to help her clean up once she’s stable.”

Because if she goes out looking like this, it’s going to raise way too many questions.

Ning Xi hadn’t even thought that far ahead. Reminded by Tan Hua, she fumbled to pull out her phone and started scrolling through her contacts, looking for a few of Cheng Yuan’s close friends.

But after a while of staring at her screen, she looked up hesitantly.
“How about… you just see this through to the end? Since you’ve already helped her this much, why not help a little more?”

Tan Hua: “?”

“If I ask them for help, I can’t guarantee they’ll really keep this a secret. But you—you’re different.” Ning Xi began shamelessly flattering her.
“You’re warmhearted, kind, trustworthy, discreet… and most importantly, you don’t have any grudges or drama with Yuan Yuan.”

Tan Hua folded her arms and raised an eyebrow.
“Oh really? You think we don’t have any grudges? We’ve got plenty, thank you very much.”

“But—but,” Ning Xi rushed to follow up, “even so, you wouldn’t just stand by and let someone else expose her secret, right? Let Yuan Yuan get dragged through the mud by gossip and speculation?”

Though Ning Xi sounded incredibly sincere, Tan Hua remained completely unmoved. She stared at her with chilling indifference, not even blinking—utterly heartless.

Seeing she wasn’t getting anywhere, Ning Xi gritted her teeth and asked cautiously,
“One million?”

Before the words had even fully left her mouth, Tan Hua’s lips curled into a brilliant smile.
“Deal! You should’ve led with that—I wouldn’t have had to waste all that breath.”

Ning Xi: “…”

So many emotions, all at once.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Are you seriously that obsessed with money?”

“Of course not,” Tan Hua blinked innocently. “I’m just trying to earn a little formula money for the baby. You know how it is—I come from a rough background, no one to rely on, single mom and all that…”

“All right, enough,” Ning Xi cut her off mid-speech, already fed up. She waved her hand impatiently.
“Fine. I’ll add another five hundred thousand. Happy now?”

Tan Hua lit up.
“Thank you, Boss! Once the baby’s born, I’ll have her call you godmother.”

Ning Xi’s eye twitched.
Like I actually want to be her godmother…

While they were still exchanging banter, Cheng Yuan had gradually calmed down. But seeing her skin grow increasingly flushed, Tan Hua couldn’t help but urge Xu Fengqi again,
“Where are you now?”

“Top floor,” he replied. “I’m taking the elevator down now.”

Tan Hua: “Already?!”

“It’s a helicopter—of course it’s fast. Anyway, I’m heading into the elevator. Talk later.”
And with that, he heartlessly hung up the call.

Tan Hua stared blankly at her phone, then suddenly smacked her forehead.
Right… This is a domineering CEO romance novel. Of course helicopters are normal here. How could I forget?

Just as she managed to sort out her thoughts, Xu Fengqi appeared at the door with a woman in tow.

Lu Huaixu stepped aside to let them in. The female doctor strode in briskly while Xu stayed by the door and asked Lu Huaixu,
“What happened? How could something like this even happen?”

“No idea,” Lu replied crisply, shutting him down completely.

While Xu was left speechless, Tan Hua stepped aside to clear a path for the doctor. She and Ning Xi stood quietly nearby, watching as the doctor checked Cheng Yuan’s pulse, assessed her condition, and then efficiently drew a dose of medicine from her kit. She filled a syringe and administered the injection.

“Good thing she’s not in heat right now—otherwise, it would’ve been bad,” the doctor said. “But next time, I strongly recommend you call the police first.”

Ning Xi started to stammer something, but Tan Hua elbowed her in the side and cut her off.
“Understood. We’ll report it shortly.”

The doctor finally nodded and handed over a few boxes of medication to Tan Hua.
“Once she wakes up, have her take these. If she experiences any more discomfort, bring her to the hospital.”

Ning Xi nodded so fast it looked like a pecking bird. Seeing that the doctor was about to leave, she quickly asked,
“So… my friend, she’s going to be okay now, right?”

“She should regain consciousness in about five minutes. The redness in her skin should go down in ten, and in twenty, she’ll look like her usual self again.”

Ning Xi was visibly relieved.
“I’ll walk you out.”

But just as she turned to do so, she glanced at Tan Hua, then couldn’t help stopping the doctor.
“Would you mind checking on her too?”

The doctor glanced at Tan Hua, who was covered in smudged lipstick and bite marks. It was clear she wanted to laugh but managed to hold it in politely.
“That’s outside my specialty. Let Dr. Xu take a look.”

Xu Fengqi was right outside anyway, so there was no delay. In an effort to comfort Tan Hua, Ning Xi quickly offered,
“I’ll go get him for you!”

Tan Hua looked at her, speechless.
Do I really need your help for that?

She gave Ning Xi a sharp look, then turned and walked out of the room herself. As she left, she tossed over her shoulder,
“Oh, don’t worry. I’ll definitely remember what you just said to me.”

Ning Xi: “…”

She was just about to say something when Tan Hua’s figure disappeared from the room—followed by an astonished shout from Xu Fengqi:
“Holy crap, what happened to you?!”

Tan Hua stormed over to the couch, lifted her dress angrily, and sat down with her arms crossed in a huff.
“What do you think happened? I got bit—by the one inside.”

“It freaking hurts,” she grumbled, looking down at herself. “How am I supposed to show my face after this?”

But Xu Fengqi just stared at her, suspicious.
“How exactly did she bite you?”

Tan Hua sat up straighter. “…What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You two didn’t… do anything, right?” Xu asked again, his face full of doubt and disbelief, like he already had his own assumptions about what had happened.

Tan Hua sat up even straighter. “?? Are you serious right now?”

Xu Fengqi gave her a solemn look and said,
“Don’t do that kind of stuff again. You’re still pregnant, for god’s sake. This really isn’t the time for… adult activities.”

“Even something mild is off-limits.”

As soon as he said that, Tan Hua felt Lu Huaixu shoot her a long, meaningful look from the doorway. Her eyes practically said: We’ll talk about this later.

Tan Hua: “???”

I swear I didn’t do anything!

Xu: “She was totally up to something just now, blah blah blah…”

Lu: “I believe you.”

Tan Hua: Cue crying emoji: utterly wronged.
