Chapter 39.2

Perhaps Chen Jia didn’t need to say more. Xue Wu naturally knew which night she was talking about—it was the night her suspicions were fully aroused and she thought she was with her White Moonlight, and she kept video-calling her to confirm. Looking back, she felt like she had gone mad, not acting like herself at all.

And because of that, Luo Yan had to stay with her and go to great lengths to hide her injury, and she had to come so early the next day to bring her breakfast. The bowl of wontons that had long gone cold was still in her ward.

But she… other than doubting her and not believing her, she hadn’t been able to do anything else for her.

Xue Wu gripped her phone tightly, her eyes swirling with deep, unfathomable emotions. Finally, she asked: “Where are those Omega sisters? I’ll go see them personally.”

…

At the same time, in another ward, Xin Jingqiong had also woken up and was listening to Assistant Lin report today’s events. She was also holding a tablet and unexpectedly saw Luo Yan’s trending search, which stated she already had someone she liked. Her heart stalled, and the heat at the back of her neck, which had finally subsided, rose again.

Xin Jingqiong’s current special period was only suppressed with great difficulty; she couldn’t afford such intense emotions again. The hospital had also set up multiple monitoring methods for her. Once her emotions grew intense and her pheromones fluctuated, the instruments immediately detected it and sounded a “di-di-di” alarm, summoning the doctor.

Xin Jingqiong’s current special period was indeed aggressive and worrying. Nothing more could be allowed to happen. Therefore, the doctor, learning she showed signs of pheromone fluctuation after seeing the trending search, told her to stop looking for the sake of her health.

Xin Jingqiong remained non-committal but indeed put down her phone and stopped looking. She just asked: “Was it that Miss Luo who saved me with medicine?”

“Yes. What she brought was the newly developed drug for treating pheromone disorder. But you [stolen content]can be assured that the drug has been through multiple clinical trials; it’s just a matter of putting it into use.”

“Did she come into the ward to see me herself?” Xin Jingqiong was silent for a moment after hearing this, then asked somewhat gloomily.

“No,” Dr. He, who was also the attending doctor for Xue Wu, knew the relationship between Luo Yan and Xue Wu. “Miss Luo already has a partner. If she came in, her character would truly be questionable.”

Although it wouldn’t be illegal for Luo Yan to come in and mark her in such an emergency, and it could even save her, it didn’t mean Luo Yan’s actions would be ethical. At least in Dr. He’s eyes, it would be betraying her partner, which was unacceptable to her and she wouldn’t approve.

But clearly, Xin Jingqiong didn’t see it that way. “If they aren’t married, they aren’t bound by law. If she truly marked me, I wouldn’t think there’s much of a problem…”

“Eldest Miss…” Her assistant was nearly collapsing hearing his boss’s bold words. He naturally couldn’t talk her out of it, and only heard her continue: “Of course, I only think that Miss Luo’s actions would not be a problem.”

Dr. He & Assistant: Then you truly are double-standard to the extreme.

Dr. He: “Regardless, you need to rest well now and stop overthinking. If this happens again, the consequences truly can’t be predicted.”

“I know.” Xin Jingqiong was in low spirits but listened to the doctor’s words and stopped following the online gossip. She just asked her assistant: “When you found her, what was she doing?”

Actually, Xin Jingqiong had deliberately had her assistant ask Luo Yan for help this time. She couldn’t say what her own emotions or thoughts were; she just thought of Luo Yan first. Although she hadn’t marked her and their time together was limited—and to some extent, they were enemies or even competitors—she still thought of her help first.

Therefore, she didn’t care if it was ethical or moral. Before her reason was overwhelmed, [bailiantales.com]she had her assistant find Luo Yan to see her choice.

If she was willing to come, it would prove the relationship between her and Xue Wu wasn’t that solid. If she wasn’t, it would prove she likely had no chance to intervene.

Unexpectedly, she was willing to come, and she thought she would mark her. But she hadn’t; she hadn’t even stepped into her ward. She just delivered the new drug and left without even a word of concern.

This was a massive surprise, completely beyond her expectations.

“She was feeding that Movie Queen Xue breakfast…” Assistant Lin spoke carefully, weighing every word for fear of saying something to upset Xin Jingqiong.

“Is that so? Their relationship is that good?” An Alpha with considerable power and status being willing to feed an Omega—regardless of the reason—implied something unique.

“However, not long after Miss Luo came to us, that Movie Queen Xue suddenly entered her special period and triggered the hospital’s top-level alarm. It was very dangerous.” Assistant Lin recalled the scene and couldn’t help but say: “So I feel their relationship isn’t particularly solid, at least from my perspective.”

—If Movie Queen Xue fully trusted Miss Luo, she wouldn’t have had such a massive accident upon learning she went to see another Omega in heat. This was caused by her lack of trust in her Alpha.

So, if her boss truly liked Miss Luo, she felt she could still fight for her.

After all, they weren’t married, and the rules of their world were always “survival of the fittest” and “the capable prevail.” In the face of absolute courtship, morality and such things had to take a back seat.

Xin Jingqiong didn’t speak again after hearing her subordinate’s words but was stolen contentpensive. She had lived for nearly thirty years, and this was the first time she had such a strong urge to possess someone.

And Luo Yan was that person. She knew this was very likely an instinctive choice; she might not actually like her that much, let alone the fact that they were full of conflict and were even competitors. But… she believed that sometimes one can overcome all difficulties to make way for such intense feelings.

In that case, she would need to spend some effort on Luo Yan.

“Regarding that mine in Jing City… hasn’t the Luo family always wanted to compete with us for it?” Xin Jingqiong suddenly said: “Tell them to stop competing with the Luo family. Just let them have it.”

“Boss… that’s not right.” The assistant didn’t just look after her daily needs; he was also her consultant on decisions. Although the mine in Jing City hadn’t been tested to know its specific composition, it was certain to be a rare mine. If they could get it, it would bring a valuation of hundreds of millions or billions.

Such a piece of meat was practically guaranteed; how could they give it up so easily? This didn’t fit Xin Jingqiong’s usual style at all. He had to stop her.

“That person from the Luo family saved me twice. Is my life not worth a rare mine?” Xin Jingqiong only found her assistant amusing: “Or do you think I can’t afford this gift?”

“…I don’t.” Assistant Lin knew he had said the wrong thing as soon as she spoke. Indeed, Luo Yan saved his boss from dire situations every time, without compensation and without even wanting to be associated with her. Moreover, it was very likely she still didn’t know who the person she saved twice was. In this situation, giving up a mine seemed understandable.

“Remember, it must be handed to Luo Yan personally. Only she can be responsible.” Xin Jingqiong added one more instruction.

“Yes, I understand.” Assistant Lin respectfully agreed, thinking to himself that it was rare for the boss to fall for an Alpha for the first time; if she wanted to be a bit crazy, then let her be. He didn’t think it mattered.

“Alright, go attend to other matters. I’ll rest a bit more.” Xin Jingqiong didn’t say anything else. But when she closed her eyes, she could still think Read on BaiLianTales of those beautiful, magnificent eyes looking at her with concern, and then see her on stage, radiant and sweet, saying she already had someone she liked.

Someone she likes… someone she likes… why couldn’t she be that person? Even if she wasn’t now, it didn’t mean she couldn’t replace her in the future.

…

Luo Yan naturally didn’t know that the Omega she had saved was actually lusting after her body and wanted to break her and Xue Wu up. If she knew the other’s thoughts, she would have told her there was no need; she wouldn’t even think about starting a new relationship in the short term.

She had been busy all day and originally wanted to go home directly, but Zhao Xin was already watching her like she was facing a great enemy: “Second Miss, you haven’t forgotten you need to go back to the hospital for a checkup, have you?”

Luo Yan: …I really did forget.

But seeing Zhao Xin’s wary and worried expression, she could only change her tune: “I didn’t forget.”

“Then let’s go. I’ll let the Eldest Miss know.” Zhao Xin breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing her.

But when Luo Yan arrived at the hospital, she seemed to instinctively walk toward the ward where Xue Wu was. Zhao Xin walked behind her wanting to remind her, but for a moment she couldn’t open her mouth. Seeing her increasingly thin and tall silhouette was even more heartbreaking.

She naturally knew why Luo Yan had taken the wrong path; things that have become a habit are hard to change.

The Second Miss had walked back and forth on this path countless times. From the time Miss Xue was in a coma until now, nearly two months [Read on BaiLianTales]had passed. Every single day she stood guard, and no matter how busy she was, she found time to take a look.

She remembered clearly that one night during a torrential rainstorm, she had a nightmare that she had died. She sat at home for a long time but still felt uneasy, so regardless of the storm, she had the driver take her there. Only after seeing she was still breathing did she relax slightly and leave, but she didn’t sleep again that night and stood guard on a bench outside all night.

And now, she seemed to have returned to that night. Her respected Second Miss was walking alone in a daze and in a hurry through the dim hospital corridor, like a child who couldn’t find her way home and had to see that person to feel at ease.

However, she only seemed to realize something when she reached the elevator door. She looked back at Zhao Xin: “My ward isn’t arranged on this side, right?”

“…It’s on the other side.”

“Alright then, let’s go.”

“Second Miss, aren’t you going to see Miss Xue?” Zhao Xin didn’t know what Luo Yan was thinking, but she felt this couldn’t go on. She knew this matter wasn’t over.

Rather than letting it sit until it rotted and stank, it was better to cut the Gordian knot now and resolve the matter completely.

“…She won’t want to see me again.” Luo Yan gave a self-mocking laugh and turned to leave, but unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she saw the big villain standing not far away. She seemed to have heard her words and looked up at her.

The Omega was still wearing her hospital gown with a coat over it, but one could still feel the chill on her—the chill of the increasingly cold weather that had seeped into her.

After not seeing her for just one short day, she seemed to have become different. Luo Yan could feel the killing [bailiantales.com]intent on her—the kind that hadn’t been withdrawn yet.

An Omega… unless they had truly encountered some major event, couldn’t possibly be so tense all over, looking at everyone with a wary expression.

Luo Yan felt her level of “blackening” had deepened a bit and hadn’t halted due to her amnesia.

She forced herself to remain calm as if she hadn’t seen her, bowed her head, and walked to the other side of Zhao Xin, further increasing the distance between her and Xue Wu.

Xue Wu stood in place staring at her without blinking or making any other move. It was only when she approached that she spoke, her voice raspy and dull: “Luo Yan, I went to see those Omega sisters.”

Luo Yan’s step faltered. She frowned, not approving of her doing so, but what right did she have to say anything now? Thus, she continued walking as if she hadn’t heard.

“I killed them. Do you think I did the right thing?”

She had only walked a few steps when the Omega’s extremely calm yet implicitly crazed voice came from behind. She doubted she had heard correctly and stopped in her tracks. This time she stopped completely. Her palms clenched and loosened several times. Finally, unable to ignore it, she turned back to look at her: “Are you serious?”
