Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha’s Gorgeous Wife Who Keeps Trying to Seduce Me - Chapter 30

By evening, the lawn in front of the guesthouse had been beautifully transformed. Lights sparkled all around, and the space was decorated with fresh flowers, fine wine, and elegant food displays.

Shen Zhixi wore a white evening gown. Her fair, delicate skin seemed to glow, her collarbones elegantly defined. Her long, curled hair cascaded like waves of light, loosely draped over her graceful neck. The usual cool, noble aura she carried was now softened with a touch of gentle beauty.

Chi Lengzhao wore a red gown. She stood tall and slender, slightly taller than Shen Zhixi by a few centimeters. Her flowing hair fell just past her neck, brushing lightly against her pale skin. Her sharp, defined features made her look stunning and intense, yet with a distant, untamed charm.

The moment they stepped onto the lawn, they caught everyone’s attention. All cameras turned toward them.

Even the staff froze for a moment. They were such a stunning pair. Their combined presence was breathtaking.

Music began to play as the guests paired off and took to the dance floor. Dozens of cameras moved to capture each couple’s moments.

Shen Zhixi and Chi Lengzhao stood facing each other. Shen Zhixi gently placed her soft, slender hand on Chi’s shoulder. As their eyes met, it was the first time she had looked at Chi so closely, in such a formal setting.

There was a reason so many Omegas were drawn to Chi Lengzhao. Even putting her background aside, her appearance alone was captivating.

She was elegant and radiant, cold and restrained, yet passionate and poised. Somehow, these contrasting qualities came together on her effortlessly. She truly looked like someone born to stand out.

There was something even more unforgettable about her. Chi Lengzhao had eyes that seemed to speak. Just one glance and it was easy to lose yourself in them.

Shen Zhixi quickly looked away. She only met Chi’s gaze for a moment but felt too overwhelmed to keep looking.

Right now, all she could feel was the growing warmth in the hand Chi held. She couldn’t tell whether the slight dampness was from her own palm or from Chi’s.

The person in front of her looked pure and graceful, cool as snow. Her hands felt smooth and soft, like the finest white jade. Holding her hand should have felt cool, but Chi felt herself getting warmer instead. Her fingers were sweating, and her heartbeat felt uneven.

Chi had always thought there was nothing she didn’t have the courage to face. People who knew her—friends, colleagues, or rivals—often described her as bold and decisive.

But being this close to Shen Zhixi and looking directly into her eyes was something she still didn’t dare to do.

At this moment, she felt nervous without knowing why. She turned her eyes away from Shen Zhixi and accidentally caught a glimpse of her pale neck. The sight made her flustered again, and she quickly lowered her gaze to the magnolia flower embroidered on Shen Zhixi’s dress. That helped her calm down a little.

The music played on as the couples danced, eyes locked and lost in the melody.

Two cameras turned toward them. Shen Zhixi suddenly leaned forward, resting her head gently on Chi’s shoulder. Her soft hair brushed against Chi’s cheek as it fell.

Chi’s entire body tensed up.

Shen Zhixi whispered near her ear, “Relax. The cameras are filming us. Look at me, not at my dress.”

Then she slowly pulled back and looked up into Chi’s eyes with a charming smile.

To the cameras, it looked like two lovers sharing a quiet, intimate moment.

Chi froze again when she met Shen Zhixi’s gaze.

At that moment, the world faded away. All she could see were Shen Zhixi’s smiling eyes. And in the reflection of those clear, beautiful eyes, she saw herself.

Chi’s heart raced uncontrollably. She lost focus, messed up her steps, and nearly stepped on Shen Zhixi’s foot.

Zhou Ziqing and Su Ci passed by. Zhou teased with a grin, “Captain Chi, are you so smitten with your wife that you forgot how to dance?”

Chi gave a small, awkward laugh. When she looked back at Shen Zhixi, she still didn’t dare meet her eyes. Instead, she stared at the tip of her nose.

Her expression was composed, but the blush spreading across her cheeks gave her away.

Shen Zhixi smiled faintly. She found Chi’s shy side surprisingly adorable.

After the dance, they left the dance floor together, greeting others along the way.

With so many women gathered in one place, the conversation naturally turned to playful gossip.

“Does your Alpha cook at home?”

“When you’re upset, how do they make it up to you?”

“When you had your worst fight, who apologized first?”

One guest laughed and said, “We’re planning to get married next year.”

Another said, “We’re trying for a baby this year.”

Liang Xiaoshu added, “Our little monkey is already three years old. My mom’s taking care of her while we’re filming.”

Then someone turned to Chi and Shen. “What about you two? When you argue, who says sorry first?”

Shen Zhixi replied, “We’ve never really argued.”

“No way, that can’t be true. How is that even possible? Don’t tell me you’ve never had a disagreement.”

Blushing, Shen smiled and said, “We do have disagreements, but Zhaozhao always gives in to me.”

Everyone laughed. Zhou Ziqing joked, “Captain Chi, do you have any authority at home?”

Chi laughed easily. “As long as my wife is happy, everything’s peaceful for me.”

The others laughed again and turned to Shen. “With such a charming Alpha, is there anything you’re not satisfied with?”

“Exactly. If my Alpha looked like that and treated me that well, I’d never let her go.”

One guest added playfully, “My Alpha’s super charming too. Babe, give me a kiss.”

Right in front of the camera, the couple leaned in and kissed without hesitation.

The production team wasn’t about to miss such a sweet moment.

Suddenly, Liang Xiaoshu shouted, “Captain Chi, you and your lovely wife should kiss too!”

Chi Lengzhao was caught completely off guard and didn’t respond right away.

More people began chanting, “Kiss! Kiss!”

Even the crew joined in, cheering along with the others.

In the middle of all the excitement, Chi glanced nervously at Shen Zhixi. Just as she was trying to decide how to respond, Shen gently lifted her chin and pressed her cool lips softly against Chi’s.

A faint scent of laurel spread across her lips.

Chi Lengzhao froze.

No one, not even Chi herself, had expected Shen Zhixi to kiss her first.

The crowd erupted with excitement.

“An Omega made the first move! That’s seriously intense!”

The camera captured the moment perfectly. It was soft, romantic, and electrifying. Behind the monitor, the director rubbed his hands together with excitement, already convinced the ratings for this episode would be excellent.

The kiss was light and gentle. The scent was familiar and comforting, a soft trace of laurel that Chi had always liked.

Shen Zhixi closed her eyes, focusing on the warmth and tenderness of the kiss. Just as Chi finally regained her senses and was about to respond, Shen pulled away.

Her eyes lowered slightly under the glowing lights. Her cheeks were tinged with pink, like the softest blush, and her red lips were even more striking.

Chi’s heart was racing. A strange and powerful impulse rose from within her, urging her to lean forward and kiss Shen again.

Chi had always been excellent at self-control, especially when it came to her emotions. She quickly lowered her gaze and pushed down the rising urge, remaining completely still.

The crowd around them laughed and cheered.

“So Captain Chi enjoys being kissed!”

“She’s such a soft Alpha. I love it!”

“She’s all bossy on the outside but a total sweetheart at home!”

Chi’s face started to feel hot. She tried to argue, though her voice was clearly lacking strength.

“That’s not true. I’m still an Alpha.”

Someone replied with a laugh, “Relax, Captain. Even a soft Alpha is still an Alpha.”

Chi didn’t say anything else.

Shen Zhixi glanced sideways at her and noticed the expression on her face. Chi looked flustered and unsure of where to look. Her eyes kept avoiding Shen’s completely.

She didn’t look anything like a powerful CEO. Instead, she looked like a girl overwhelmed by her first taste of affection, shy and nervous.

Shen Zhixi’s lips curved into a subtle smile. Her eyes sparkled with amusement.

She was starting to really enjoy watching Chi get shy.

Not far away, Shi Xin had just finished a passionate kiss with Lu Manni. As she watched what had just happened, her expression darkened. Her eyes were filled with frustration.

Originally, the hot kiss between her and Lu Manni had been bold and eye-catching. It had drawn all the cameras. But now, Chi Lengzhao had completely stolen the spotlight.

Shi Xin stared at the crowd now surrounding Chi and Shen. Her jaw tightened.

Chi Lengzhao, are you seriously going to keep pretending to be innocent?

Later that night, everyone returned to the hotel.

Chi Lengzhao sat in the study, holding a video conference. Shen Zhixi was in the bathroom removing her makeup and washing up.

By the time she came out, Chi was still working, speaking fluent English into her headset.

Shen paused and listened for a moment. The longer she stood there, the more surprised she became.

Chi’s English wasn’t just fluent. It was impressive, even better than she had remembered. Much better than the Chi Lengzhao she used to know.

When Chi Lengzhao finally closed her laptop, Shen Zhixi smiled and said, “Your English is really good. I’m guessing it’s thanks to Dr. Nancy from Y University, right? She’s famously strict with her students.”

Chi paused for a second, then nodded. “It’s alright. Once you’re in that kind of environment, you just naturally start picking it up.”

She remembered her first day back at work. She had asked her assistant at the time, Lian Meiwen, to gather resumes of all the department heads, including her own.

Lian Meiwen had laughed and asked, “What’s this for, babe—sorry, I mean, Miss Chi?”

Chi replied, “It’s been a while since I was last here. I’ve forgotten most of the team. I figured I should refresh my memory. Also, I want to see how much I’ve aged compared to those old photos.”

Lian Meiwen giggled and said, “You’ve definitely matured a bit since your early days here. But today, you look especially charming—more attractive than ever.”

When Chi looked through her own resume, it was typical of wealthy young heirs. Whether top students or not, most had studied abroad to add polish to their backgrounds, preparing to take over their family businesses someday.

She really had graduated from Y University with a business degree.

So now, when Shen Zhixi brought it up, she didn’t deny it. She gave a vague response and didn’t think much of it.

But Shen Zhixi’s eyes narrowed slightly. She pressed her lips together.

Dr. Nancy wasn’t part of the business faculty at Y University.

Chi had once casually mentioned that she disliked business. Her real passion was music. Dr. Nancy was actually a professor at the university’s music school—someone Chi had admired deeply. She had described her as talented, funny, elegant, and full of charm.

Shen Zhixi’s fingers curled tightly. Her gaze darkened as she looked at Chi.

That night, she couldn’t sleep. Dr. Jiang’s words echoed in her mind again.

Now, she was certain. The reason Chi Lengzhao had changed wasn’t because of a head injury, or a psychological issue, or even memory loss.

She turned over and stared intently at the sleeping figure on the other side of the bed, trying hard to suppress the tidal wave of emotions rising in her heart.

Because she knew.

The person in front of her was not the real Chi Lengzhao.

Chi Lengzhao (internally): Did I just accidentally expose myself?

Shen Zhixi (internally): I, finally caught your little tail.
