Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha’s Gorgeous Wife Who Keeps Trying to Seduce Me - Chapter 27.2

She sighed. “Okay, then I’ll count on Teacher Shen to guide this clueless rookie.”

Shen Zhixi smiled. “Apologies for the trouble, Miss Chi.”

“Not at all,” Chi Lengzhao grinned. “As long as you’re happy, it’s all worth it.”

Now, standing at the location, Shen Zhixi shook her head at Chi Lengzhao’s overly dramatic pose and big smile.

“You’re overacting,” she whispered. “Way too much.”

“No big deal. I’m not an idol, no pressure. I’ll just do whatever feels right.”

Chi Lengzhao grinned at the camera, even throwing up a peace sign, looking like a tourist eager to spend big and have fun.

Shen Zhixi: “…”

At home she acted poised and capable. Out here, she was practically a goofy puppy.

They arrived at the luxurious coastal guesthouse that would serve as their filming location. All six couples were there, checking in.

Three were married pairs like Chi Lengzhao and Shen Zhixi.

The other three were dating couples—including one that both women knew very well.

“Chi, Zhixi, nice to see you two again,” someone greeted them cheerfully.

Chi Lengzhao blinked. For a second, she was stunned to see Shi Xin—but only for a second. Her expression quickly returned to normal.

Shi Xin was standing with a beautiful young woman and said with obvious pride, “Let me introduce you—this is my girlfriend, Lu Manni.”

Lu Manni, the rising starlet, had become wildly popular after starring in a hit web drama. Some in the industry were even saying she might challenge Zhao Siyu’s position as the top actress in her generation.

Shen Zhixi had heard about Lu Manni from her agent, Wang Yi. There had been rumors that the final spot on the show was going to her and her Alpha girlfriend—a quiet young artist.

But now, Lu Manni had shown up with Shi Xin. Shen Zhixi silently sent Wang Yi a message, though she could already guess what had happened.

Shi Xin must’ve pulled strings, maybe even paid her way onto the show.

Most of the participants were from the entertainment industry—actors, singers, influencers. Earlier during greetings, everyone had been friendly and polite for the cameras. Lu Manni, especially, had played the part of the sweet newcomer—smiling, polite, calling everyone “teacher.”

But once the cameras stopped rolling, she clung to Shi Xin like a spoiled child and looked down her nose at everyone around her.

Hard not to—after all, she was the hottest star on set.

The one person she couldn’t stand?

Shen Zhixi.

She was more beautiful than Lu Manni, with the natural elegance of a wealthy heiress, and known as the number one Omega in Haibin. On top of that, she was married to Chi Lengzhao, the heir to the most powerful family in the city.

If Shen Zhixi weren’t here, Lu Manni would’ve been the most eye-catching Omega on this season of Sweet Go.

Chi Lengzhao kept her polite smile and nodded slightly. “Nice to meet you, Miss Lu.”

Lu Manni’s heart skipped a beat.

The Alpha standing before her was tall, composed, and incredibly attractive. Her deep features and graceful movements made her glow. That dazzling smile was like a spotlight.

And for a brief second, Lu Manni forgot to breathe.

Compared to Miss Chi from the Chi family, who carried herself with grace, poise, and elegance, Shi Xin standing beside her appeared far less impressive.

Lu Manni quietly seethed. If only she had entered the industry a few years earlier, perhaps the one who had captured this Alpha’s heart would not have been Shen Zhixi, but herself, Lu Manni.

Once the rooms were assigned, everyone returned to their own. Chi Lengzhao looked around the room carefully, checking the positions of the cameras. Except for the bathroom, they were installed almost everywhere.

After confirming with the crew, Chi Lengzhao turned off the cameras, opened her laptop, and began working.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhixi opened her suitcase and started organizing her clothes and shoes. Suddenly, she said, “Lu Manni seems to like you.”

Chi Lengzhao responded with a quiet sound while focused on her emails. A few seconds later, she turned her head with a small smile. “We just met. How could she already have feelings for me?”

Shen Zhixi smiled but said nothing, continuing to put her clothes away. Once she was nearly done, she asked, “Do you want to shower first?”

“You go ahead,” Chi Lengzhao replied, her eyes still on the screen. “I need to handle a few emails first.”

Shen Zhixi gave a small nod, picked up her clothes, and headed into the bathroom.

After she finished showering and stepped out in a bathrobe, she looked toward the large, snow-white bed. Her cheeks flushed slightly as a realization hit her.

During the filming period, the production team would be recording their nighttime routines. That meant she would have to share a bed with Chi Lengzhao.

Chi Lengzhao had just finished replying to a few critical emails and picked up her phone to make a call. From the harsh tone, it seemed she was calling an unfortunate subordinate. Shen Zhixi could hear her scolding them sharply, with the commanding air of a seasoned warrior.

Soon after, Chi Lengzhao made another call. This time, her tone was much more polite. She apologized and spoke in a soothing voice. Shen Zhixi thought to herself, this must be an important client whom Chi Lengzhao needed to personally handle.

After hanging up, Chi Lengzhao let out a sigh and instinctively reached to her right for her teacup, only to come up empty. She paused, realizing she was not in her office. She stood up, grabbed a bottle of water from the table, opened it, and took a drink.

Turning around, she noticed Shen Zhixi sitting on the sofa by the window, quietly watching her. Her gaze felt as if she was seeing Chi Lengzhao for the very first time.

Chi Lengzhao laughed softly. “Did I scare you just now with how harsh I sounded?”

Shen Zhixi looked away and shook her head.

In her past life, when she ran Meixi, she had also disciplined her subordinates. As a boss, she could not afford to be overly compassionate. It was impossible to be gentle with everyone. What truly mattered were clear rules, fair rewards, and firm consequences.

“There’s only one scene left to shoot today. It’s the group dinner tonight. Do you want to take a short break now?”

“It’s fine. I got some sleep on the plane,” Chi Lengzhao replied, sitting back down in front of the laptop. Her gaze did not waver from the screen. “I still have a few reports to go through while there’s time.”

Shen Zhixi silently watched her back, then shifted slightly, studying her profile.

She was deeply familiar with Chi Lengzhao’s face. In her past life, she had hated her so much that she could recognize her even as ashes.

Her gaze followed the curve of her forehead down to her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips. This was indeed Chi Lengzhao.

Yet, just a moment ago, Shen Zhixi had felt something strange. This woman was nothing like the Chi Lengzhao she remembered from her previous life.

Her personality, temper, manners, even the scent of her pheromones, were all completely different.

Was this really the same person?

By the time Chi Lengzhao finished her work, the sky had darkened. A crew member came to notify the cast that it was time to go to the restaurant for dinner, one of the key filming segments of the day.

Chi Lengzhao noticed that her suitcase had been opened. Only her undergarments remained untouched. Her other clothes, shirts, jackets, and shoes had all been neatly arranged into the closet, right beside Shen Zhixi’s belongings. One side held hers, the other Shen Zhixi’s. Their shoes were placed side by side, with Chi Lengzhao’s being one size larger and easy to tell apart.

As she looked at the arrangement, Chi Lengzhao was struck by a fleeting sense that she and Shen Zhixi were truly living together, like a family.

She quickly smiled to herself, finding a logical explanation. After all, this was a variety show focused on romantic couples. A sense of sweet intimacy was part of the experience. Complete separation in daily life was unrealistic.

“I saw you were busy, so I helped you put things away,” Shen Zhixi said softly, her eyes lowered to hide the slight awkwardness in them. “I hope I wasn’t overstepping.”

“Not at all. Of course not. Thank you.”

After she spoke, a brief awkward silence settled over the room.

Chi Lengzhao cleared her throat lightly and said, “I’m going to wash my face. Let’s head out after that.”

“Alright.”

Chi Lengzhao had very good skin. It was pale, smooth, and firm. Even under bright lighting, her pores were nearly invisible.

Sometimes, Shen Zhixi wondered what kind of beauty Chi Lengzhao’s mother must have been to give birth to someone with such perfect features.

She knew very little about Chi Lengzhao’s mother.

Chi Lengzhao had never mentioned her. Shen only knew that she had passed away during Chi’s teenage years. Nothing more had ever been shared. Chi Jintang certainly never brought her up either. It was as if the entire Chi family had erased her from memory.

Chi Lengzhao rummaged through her suitcase and pulled out a pheromone-blocking patch. She handed it to Shen Zhixi.

“Wear this. There are a lot of people around the set. The pheromones might get a little overwhelming.”

Her words were gentle and thoughtful.

After all, this was a show centered on romance. The cast was made up of couples, whether girlfriends or wives. During interactions, people might unconsciously release pheromones toward their partner. Shen Zhixi would definitely be affected.

Not to mention, there was still someone like Shi Xin around. Disgusting and unpleasant.

Shen Zhixi did not refuse the kind gesture. She took the patch, lifted the hair at the back of her neck, and gently applied it.

In fact, she had brought her own. She had blocking patches and inhibitors, both Alpha and Omega types.

Once she finished, she noticed that Chi Lengzhao had not applied one. She could not help but ask, “Aren’t you going to wear one?”

Chi Lengzhao paused for a moment, then smiled lightly. “No, I don’t need one.”

Her tone was calm and casual, as if it truly did not matter.

Shen Zhixi’s heart skipped a beat.

Not needed? Why would Chi Lengzhao say she didn’t need one?

Dinner was held in the restaurant of the guesthouse where the group was staying.

The small town sat by the sea, and aside from a few locally grown fruits, most of the ingredients came from fresh seafood and free-range chickens raised by the locals.

Everyone enjoyed seafood and roasted chicken, sipping red wine while chatting around the table.

Cameras surrounded the dining area, with over a dozen lenses aimed directly at them. Each person wore delicate makeup, presenting their best selves in front of the camera. As the wine flowed and the food was served, they shared stories of how they met their partners.

Some began their love stories during their school years, with innocent, youthful affection. Others spoke of chance encounters, introduced by friends during group outings that sparked instant chemistry. Some met during filming, where professional collaboration led to unexpected sparks.

“At the time, Qingqing was playing the female lead, while I was just a minor villain, the scheming junior disciple. One day, while doing a wire stunt, I injured my ankle. After filming, I returned to the hotel to rest and skipped the group dinner that evening. Later that night, she sent her assistant to bring me food and medicine. The next day on set, she asked if I was feeling any better,” Su Ci recalled.

Her eyes shimmered with emotion, and her voice trembled slightly. “At that moment, I just thought, she’s really kind.”

The host of this season’s show playfully posed a question, speaking as a stand-in for the audience. “I remember Qingqing was much more famous than Susu back then. What made you fall for her?”

In contrast to Su Ci’s shy demeanor, Zhou Ziqing was poised and open. “I thought she was really pure. There was this strength about her. That day, after she fell during the stunt and her ankle swelled, she still managed to smile and walk back on her own. And the next day, she was back on set, ready to shoot again. I really admired that.”

“When she came to thank me, her face turned bright red. I didn’t expect someone who looked so cold and quiet to be so easily embarrassed. I thought she was really cute, and after that, we started dating.”

As expected, Su Ci blushed again.

The host suggested cheerfully, “Let’s give a round of applause to send our blessings to Qingqing and Susu.”

Everyone clapped and cheered. Chi Lengzhao smiled warmly as she joined in the applause, then glanced at Shen Zhixi beside her. Her eyes sparkled with sincerity and light.

“Now, let’s hear from our lovely Manni. How did she meet her destined Alpha?” the host asked with a grin.

Chi Lengzhao picked up her glass and took a sip of water, ready to hear whatever story Shi Xin had cooked up.

As expected, Lu Manni began by saying they had met at an art gala. In front of a rare, privately collected painting, she overheard someone offering a critique.

“I don’t know much about art,” Lu Manni admitted. “But the voice was so pleasant. When I turned around, I saw Shi Xin. At the time, I didn’t know she was the third young lady of the Shi family. Later, during the ball, she actually invited me to dance.”

As she spoke, her voice rose with excitement. Her expression lit up with emotion. “I never imagined she would ask me! I was so thrilled! I mean, I’m just an ordinary girl, and Xin Xin is so noble and elegant, like a princess. And then, the princess invited me to dance. I felt like the happiest person alive, like I could die from joy!”

Chi Lengzhao silently scoffed. Please, as if she understands art. She probably couldn’t tell Van Gogh from Monet.

Exaggerations aside, there was one truth in what Lu Manni said.

Just a few days earlier, the Cheng family, known for their passion for jewelry and art collecting, had hosted a grand auction and ball at their seaside estate. Many socialites had been invited, including Chi Lengzhao and Shen Zhixi.

Neither of them cared for such events, so Chi Lengzhao declined the invitation for both of them.

After Lu Manni finished her tale, she leaned adorably on Shi Xin’s shoulder and looked at her with affection. “It was at that ball that I met my fated Alpha.”

Shi Xin held her waist and said with heartfelt emotion, “Manman, you’re my one and only Omega.”

The two shared a loving gaze before exchanging a kiss for the cameras.

Someone in the group teased, “Wow, that kiss was so sweet!”

The host chimed in with a smile, “A real-life love story between a princess and Cinderella. Let’s all give them our blessings.”

Chi Lengzhao and Shen Zhixi joined the applause, smiling with the rest of the group.

Meanwhile, a voice message from Wang Yi popped into Chi Lengzhao’s mind, shedding light on Lu Manni’s last-minute Alpha switch. “I don’t know the full details, but I heard that just a few days before the show, Lu Manni contacted the production team and requested a change in the partner list. She said she had broken up with her girlfriend, and that her current Alpha is Shi Xin, the third daughter of the Shi family. A paparazzi even caught her ex moving out of their shared home that very day, looking absolutely livid. Honestly, it’s pretty obvious. One is the prestigious daughter of the Shi family, the other is a no-name freelance illustrator. The outcome speaks for itself, doesn’t it?”

Shen Zhixi kept a faint smile on her face as she watched the loving, affectionate Shi princess and her Cinderella across the table. But in her heart, it felt like a cold, barren wasteland, still and emotionless.

Maybe in this world, people are not always swayed by temptation alone. More often than not, it is the lack of freedom that shapes our choices. Sometimes, everyone is forced to bow their head.

Wasn’t Chi Lengzhao also a compromise she had no choice but to accept?

Now, only one couple remained: Shen Zhixi and Chi Lengzhao.

Sensing the camera focusing on her, Shen Zhixi quickly gathered her emotions and stepped into the role of a sweet and loving partner.

Her connection with Chi Lengzhao had started rather simply. She had been abroad, filming an ad for GG, when her father called. He told her that the Chi family wanted to arrange a marriage, and Chi Jintang hoped his daughter would marry Shen Zhixi.

She had heard some things about the Chi family’s children, and without hesitation, she refused.

But to her surprise, later that very afternoon, Chi Lengzhao showed up at the shoot, wanting to formally introduce herself.

Shen Zhixi tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, just about to speak, when Shi Xin suddenly interrupted with a half-smile, “Why don’t we hear how Chi Lengzhao tells it?”

Of all people, no one knew better than Shi Xin how Chi Lengzhao had first set her sights on Shen Zhixi.

Back then, a group of like-minded partygoers were hanging out in a private room at a bar, when someone suddenly mentioned a television drama.

“The female lead in that show was seriously gorgeous.”

“How could she not be?” someone said. “I heard she’s the top Omega in Haibin!”

“She’s the heiress of Meixi, the only daughter of Shen Jichang—Shen Zhixi!”

“What a shame. Otherwise, she might’ve been fun to mess with.”

That was when Chi Lengzhao became interested. “Shen Jichang’s only daughter?” She took the phone from the person speaking, glanced at it, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Shi Xin asked, “What? You like her?”

Chi Lengzhao’s eyes gleamed like a hunter spotting her prey. “Yeah, I want to pursue her.”

“If you go for it, you’ll definitely get her,” Shi Xin laughed. “And like always, you go first, I go after.”

Shi Xin couldn’t remember exactly how Chi Lengzhao had replied back then. It didn’t matter much. They had shared a lot of Omegas in the past—it was just a game, never serious.

But in the end, Chi Lengzhao really did win Shen Zhixi over. She married her. Yet when the time came, she broke their old agreement and wouldn’t let Shi Xin even touch her. And now, she had even cut off ties because of that woman.

Shi Xin was shocked, and furious.

Shen Zhixi was caught off guard. Strangely, when she heard Shi Xin’s suggestion, she felt nervous. A part of her was worried that Chi Lengzhao wouldn’t know what to say about how they first met.

“I’ll tell the story,” Chi Lengzhao said gently, flashing Shen Zhixi a reassuring smile.

She turned toward the cameras with calm confidence, showing no signs of discomfort.

After all, in her past life she had spoken at countless events. In this life, she was also the vice president of Chi Sheng Group. Speaking in front of thousands didn’t faze her—this small group and a few cameras were nothing.

“Zhixi and I actually met on a blind date.”

That one sentence immediately drew everyone’s attention.

“Our families wanted to set us up.”

Everyone at the table laughed. It was no secret that the Chi and Shen families had a business alliance.

Chi Lengzhao added shyly, “I was actually really happy about the arrangement.”

The host smiled and asked, “Why? President Chi, were you secretly in love with Zhixi?”

Chi Lengzhao nodded. “That’s exactly it. At the time, I was watching one of her historical dramas.”

Zhou Ziqing added, “Melody of the World.”

“Yes, that one. I was completely obsessed with her character, Rong Yin. I remember thinking, if I could marry someone like her, I’d be the luckiest person alive. But I also knew I wasn’t the most dependable back then. I thought she’d never give me the time of day.”

People chuckled softly. Many had heard about Chi Lengzhao’s wild past—she had been known as a spoiled party girl, rich and flirtatious.

Someone asked, “So you never dared to confess?”

“Right,” Chi Lengzhao admitted. Her face even turned a little red. “Rong Yin was so kind and gentle. And of course, beautiful. I don’t know if you’ve ever felt this, but sometimes the person you dream of loving is just a blurry figure in your heart. Then one day, they appear in front of you, completely real. That’s how she was to me.”

Several people nodded. Someone laughed and teased, “So you were a fan of hers.”

“Definitely,” Chi Lengzhao said. “I watched that show four times.”

Shen Zhixi glanced at her but didn’t speak or interrupt.

What Chi Lengzhao said was true. She had watched it four times—once while in the hospital, and a few more times during quiet breaks at work.

“Later, my dad arranged a blind date between us. I was so excited when I heard—I was finally going to meet Rong Yin in real life. I got myself ready, made sure I looked decent, and went to the restaurant where we were supposed to meet.”

Zhou Ziqing asked, “So it was love at first sight?”

“On my end, yes. I fell for her at first sight. As for Zhixi, well, she was even more beautiful in person. She was also just as kind and gentle as I imagined. She gave me a chance. After that, I chased her relentlessly for a year and a half. Eventually, my goddess took pity on me and accepted me.”

That timeline came from the original story.

At the beginning, Shen Zhixi didn’t like spoiled rich girls like Chi Lengzhao. But for the sake of Meixi, she agreed to give her a chance. Chi Lengzhao was very thoughtful during that time, and everything she did made her seem like a misunderstood heiress rather than the reckless person people talked about. Slowly, Shen Zhixi’s view of her changed. A year and a half later, Chi Lengzhao finally won her over.

The crowd laughed softly.

It was clear that out of all the stories, Chi Lengzhao’s felt the most real and down-to-earth.

The host smiled. “So your love story started with a blind date.”

Chi Lengzhao nodded with a smile. “Blind dates are great. People shouldn’t be so against them. I’m thankful my dad set it up. Without that date, I wouldn’t have my wife.” She raised her glass. “Come on, let’s toast to blind dates!”

Everyone lifted their glasses. “Cheers!”

Chi Lengzhao clinked her glass gently against Shen Zhixi’s and said, naturally and warmly, “Cheers, wife.”
