Chapter 37.2

The weak and sensitive Omega on the bed finally couldn’t take it anymore. She looked up at Luo Yan, her eyes red and her face tense: “Luo Yan, how many more things are you hiding from me? I… just which number Omega am I to you? How many Omegas are you with at the same time?!”

Luo Yan was stunned by this barrage of questions. She seemingly couldn’t understand why she would be asked something that didn’t even need asking. How many Omegas could she have? From start to finish, she had only ever had her. Who else was there? She didn’t know.

“Fine, fine, Luo Yan, you’re good!” Seeing the Alpha standing there dazed and speechless with a look of shock made Xue Wu believe her suspicions and what she had seen even more. She felt she had been cruelly deceived. Her sincere heart had seemingly been thrown to the dogs. How could she have been fooled by the woman’s sweet words?!

Xue Wu, oh Xue Wu, why are you still so foolish after being reborn? You are beyond help.

“Xue Wu, listen to me. From beginning to end, I have never done anything to betray you.”

Luo Yan looked at her red eyes and her expression of regret and despair. She realized that during this entire time, Xue Wu had been doubting her, never trusting her for a single moment. She would rather sit there and let her thoughts spiral than ask for verification. And so it had evolved into this situation.

It made sense. In the big villain’s eyes, she was just a playboy, a useless “flower-wall” Alpha. This top-tier Omega had everything she could want; why would she look up to her? Being with someone useless like her—no matter how much she did for her, it wouldn’t be enough to earn her respect, right?

From start to finish, she was the one being sentimental. She was the one moving herself, doing all those extra things, only to end up risking her own life for someone who didn’t even appreciate it. What was she doing?

Luo Yan, why be so lowly? Wouldn’t it be better to just be a cannon fodder and stay away from the big villain? Isn’t keeping your own life more important?

“Except for you, I have never unauthorized copyloved anyone else. I already told you that you are my White Moonlight, and there is no one else.”

Luo Yan took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. The movement caused the blood on her clothes to spread further, but she continued as if she didn’t feel it: “I guess you must have seen that Omega from the day of my preliminary round confirmation. Perhaps you even met her sister, Hao Ya, just now—”

“She must have said some misunderstood things to you, deepening your misunderstanding of me and making you think I really have a White Moonlight other than you—”

Luo Yan truly wanted to laugh. She had worked so hard to keep this matter from her because she didn’t want to soil her eyes with those indecent photos, yet she had believed the other party so easily. Just how lowly was her status in her heart?

Or was it… that her amnesia was fake, and she was just playing with her feelings? Now that she was bored, she wanted an excuse to discard her.

Luo Yan’s eyes also turned red. “The Omega said to be my White Moonlight is named Cai Xinrou. Her sister is Hao Ya. Both sisters were deceived by Xin Jingchun. Hao Ya woke up in time, but her sister didn’t; she became Xin Jingchun’s toy completely. Knowing Xin Jingchun liked you… but couldn’t have you, she spent money on plastic surgery just to get Xin Jingchun to look at her more, making herself look like you…”

Initially, when Luo Yan saw Cai Xinrou, she hadn’t realized this. She only remembered fragments from the book that completely destroyed Xue Wu’s career. Those indecent photos… were the source of all evil. Everyone believed Xue Wu had been subjected to “unspoken rules” and had fallen into debauchery. When those photos spread, no one checked their authenticity; they only wanted to watch the drama and satisfy their curiosity, trampling over the victim at will.

The big villain’s situation in the book hit rock bottom. She issued many clarifications, but no one believed her. Companies even sent her vulgar, low-class scripts, convinced she had fallen from grace and would do anything to survive.

For some reason, this plot point was deeply etched in Luo Yan’s mind. Perhaps she too had experienced the frustration and helplessness of knowing the truth but being unable to make anyone believe it.

She didn’t want the current big villain to go through that in the future. That was why, when she saw that Omega whose features looked uncoordinated yet strikingly like Xue Wu’s, she caught her without a second thought. She didn’t expect the other party to be prepared; when she tried to subdue her, she attacked with a weapon she had ready.

Luo Yan was stabbed due to a moment of carelessness. The wound wasn’t deep, and she felt she could endure it, so she had Zhao Xin ​unauthorized copy​handle the situation. After her speech at the preliminary round, she immediately rushed to the police station to report it and interrogate Cai Xinrou.

By then, she had confirmed the indecent photo was sent by her. She even committed the crime of intentional injury; the sentence wouldn’t be light. That was why she felt happy—she had accomplished a major task and blocked a bad outcome for the big villain.

Perhaps… in the big villain’s eyes, that joy was the happiness of reuniting with a White Moonlight. To be misunderstood to such a degree—she hadn’t even known. It was both laughable and tragic.

“Cai Xinrou was arrested. The specific sentencing isn’t out yet, but her sister Hao Ya wasn’t satisfied. She believes I am in cahoots with Xin Jingchun. Since Xin Jingchun was also sent in, she had no one to take revenge on, so she started coming for you and me, trying to mess up our relationship.”

Luo Yan seemed tired as she reached this point. She looked at the blood on her palm; this time it was truly her own. Perhaps her wound had split again from the anger?

“Hao Ya must have seen you just now. She came to see you in makeup, didn’t she?” Luo Yan looked at her blood-stained hands, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. “She must have ‘confirmed’ my relationship with Cai Xinrou, saying you were just a substitute. She wanted to disgust and annoy you, and you actually believed it…”

Xue Wu felt a wave of panic upon hearing this. She had indeed briefly seen an Omega just now. That Omega wore a mask, obscuring her face, so she couldn’t see her clearly. She hadn’t said much either, only throwing out so-called chat logs and evidence to “confirm” the relationship between Luo Yan and Cai Xinrou.

Naturally, she had also seen those indecent photos…

And as the woman left, she said a heart-stabbing sentence: “It’s your appearance that broke them up. You deserve to die.”

The seeds of doubt and violence buried in Xue Wu’s heart for days finally erupted. She couldn’t take it anymore and hadn’t thought it through. Combined with Luo Yan going to see another Omega she didn’t know, who was in heat… how could she stay calm?

All these factors combined… became the fuse for her explosion. If what Luo Yan said was true, ​unauthorized copy​then she had indeed wronged her.

But… why did she go to see that Omega in heat? She had abandoned her for another Omega; she couldn’t accept that either.

“As for that Eldest Miss Omega… I only went to deliver medicine to her. I never entered her ward, and I certainly didn’t come into contact with her pheromones. I even… rushed back immediately when I heard you were in a sudden heat. If I hadn’t run into Hao Ya on the way and been delayed, I would have been back sooner.”

Luo Yan looked at her stunned expression and laughed helplessly: “Sister A-Wu, I didn’t lie to you, nor did I forget my responsibility as your Alpha.” But alas, she was just delusional after all, trying to use a sincere heart to win a top-tier Omega who didn’t belong to her.

She was truly disappointed.

“…Why did you have to deliver medicine to her? Was it absolutely necessary?” Hearing her explain everything made Xue Wu feel ashamed. She looked at her pale face and blood-stained clothes, and suddenly wanted to reach out, hold her hand, check her wound, and ask if it hurt.

But she couldn’t bring herself to do it. How could a knife to the abdomen not hurt? Not to mention the other party might have wounded her twice, yet she had stabbed her in the heart like this. She didn’t deserve to stand by her side at all.

Xue Wu felt bleak. She lowered her eyelashes, unable to make any expression.

Recalling everything that had happened these past few days, she felt she might have truly fallen for her without realizing it.

In truth, she wasn’t that domineering of a person. If Luo Yan had regular social interactions and made friends, she wouldn’t mind regardless of their gender. But she had chosen to help that person at this specific time, and Luo Yan seemed to have had some connection with that Eldest Miss before, which she hadn’t known about. Thinking about it… and connecting it to the White Moonlight issue she had suspected before, she found it hard to accept.

Xue Wu hadn’t originally been an insecure Omega. If it ​bailiantales.com​weren’t for her sudden inability to remember something from the past, her emotions wouldn’t have collapsed. Now… she felt truly miserable.

Was she just a substitute? A substitute who broke up Luo Yan and her White Moonlight… and then she became a substitute without knowing it, being kept in the dark by everyone. Or maybe Luo Yan was “stepping on several boats” at once; which number boat was she? She also had her pride; how could she tolerate such things? Spurred on by Hao Ya, she finally lost control.

These things truly made her sadder the more she thought about them, and the more she thought, the more she doubted. So many people she didn’t know, so many things she didn’t understand…

She felt more and more that she was the one being sentimental. Luo Yan had never liked her. Plus, since she had just woken up from a car accident and was emotionally unstable, it was possible Luo Yan was just coordinating with the doctor’s treatment by claiming she was her White Moonlight.

From beginning to end, she had been kept in the dark. She was the culprit who broke people up.

“Yes, it was absolutely necessary.” Luo Yan still answered her question patiently: “I didn’t care for that Omega without a goal.”

As she spoke, she pulled out a pill to show her: “This is a pill for treating pheromone disorder. It’s newly released and has various medical registrations, but it hasn’t entered widespread trials yet. It likely won’t be broadly promoted for a long time. I just wanted to know if this pill could effectively treat pheromone disorder, which is why I was so concerned about that Omega.”

“Sister A-Wu,” Luo Yan looked directly into Xue Wu’s eyes, speaking seriously yet with a hint of self-mockery: “I originally thought… none of us knows what the future holds. There isn’t much I can do for you, but no matter what, I just want you to be safe. I don’t care about anything else, and I won’t bother with it.”

Hearing these words, which were no different from a deep confession, the string of tension in Xue Wu’s heart snapped completely.

——Tonight I don’t care about humanity; I only think of you.

Hearing Luo Yan’s words, she suddenly thought of that sentence. What she had done might seem heartless to that female Omega—from ​stolen content​start to finish, she didn’t seem to view her as a real patient, but more as a means to an end.

Everything she did was for her, so it seemed exceptionally cold. However, from her own perspective, she could feel the depth of her affection.

Just how much must someone like another to think of planning for their partner’s future? Besides being moved, Xue Wu belatedly felt a hint of a peculiar pessimism and disappointment in those words. If Luo Yan could always stay with her, why would she look so far ahead?

She must have thought that she might encounter something in the future that would prevent her from being by her side, so she thought this way?

And she had misunderstood and blamed her… and hadn’t trusted her for a single second… forcing her into her current state.

“…Sorry.”

“Miss Xue, you don’t need to apologize to me,” Luo Yan cut her off directly, her voice raspy and painful to hear: “From beginning to end, I was the one being sentimental. I seem to have overestimated myself. I’m just a useless person.” Everything she did was meaningless and was misunderstood to this extent.

“No… it’s not like that…”

Xue Wu looked at her pale face, disagreeing with her words, but Luo Yan could no longer hold on. Her vision went white; she seemed unable to hear or see anything, with only the blood on her palm remaining warm as before.

…What’s the point of caring so much? Just leave. Leave quickly. Don’t let her be so embarrassed anymore. She’s in so much pain.

“Zhao Xin! Zhao Xin! Where are you!” Luo Yan truly couldn’t see clearly. She didn’t want to stay here anymore. The [read the original at bailiantales.com]pheromones unique to an Omega in this room made her extremely uncomfortable every second. She couldn’t stay any longer.

Luo Yan groped her way toward the door. Zhao Xin was already waiting outside. Hearing Luo Yan’s call, she immediately entered. As a Beta, her perception of pheromones was very dull, so she didn’t feel anything.

However, when she saw Luo Yan in this state, tears began to well up. she truly, truly wished the Second Miss was still as she was before meeting Xue Wu. At least… she lived much more freely than she did now!

Now she had been tortured into this state?!

“Miss Xue, while you were suspecting our Second Miss of having affairs with other Omegas, perhaps what you didn’t know was that she was silently enduring pain she shouldn’t have had to endure alone.”

“You have your pride, but our Second Miss has hers too!”

“Do you think anyone can make her bow her head and offer up her heart? You are merely,” Zhao Xin couldn’t help but say everything: “taking advantage of the fact that she likes you.”

……

……

“Bang—”

The ward door was closed again. Luo Yan was completely gone, even her [Read on BaiLianTales]pheromones withdrawn completely.

Xue Wu stared blankly at the closed door, unable to make any expression or think about anything. A smear of Luo Yan’s blood still remained on her fingertips.
