Chapter 35.1

…

Half an hour before Luo Yan’s sudden medical emergency.

Luo Xi was still sitting in her room, asking her younger sister what had happened; she couldn’t see anything wrong with her at all.

“Yanyan, tell me, who have you been going to see every day without coming home lately?”

In Luo Yan’s room, Luo Xi sat on the sofa questioning her sister.

“Ahem, didn’t I just answer that?” Luo Yan replied somewhat guiltily.

“Don’t think you can brush me off with the same excuses you used on Dad.” Seeing that she wanted to use vague words to fool her again, Luo Xi immediately cut her off.

Faced with her sister’s serious gaze, Luo Yan knew she could no longer hide anything. But then she thought—with her sister’s capabilities, could she really not have found out where she had been? So instead of answering directly, she asked back: “My sister is so capable, you probably know where I’ve been without me telling you, right?”

“I want you to tell me yourself,” Luo Xi stated plainly, not hiding anything.

“A-Wu had a car accident before and was hospitalized without anyone knowing. I went to take care of her. Plus, haven’t I been busy with all sorts of things? So I got delayed and didn’t have time to come home to rest.”

Luo Yan had nothing to hide from her own sister. ​Read on BaiLianTales​she explained the situation in a few sentences with no particularly strong emotions on her face, looking quite normal.

But Luo Xi knew a lot must have happened between her sister and Xue Wu, so she continued to ask: “What exactly is the situation between you and Xue Wu right now?”

“We are together.” Luo Yan still didn’t hide her relationship with Xue Wu. Xue Wu might want to keep her privacy due to her status, but Luo Yan was different; she didn’t like being secretive and preferred to be open about it.

Especially in front of her family, she felt there was even less need to hide.

“Didn’t you say before that you didn’t like her and even broke off the engagement?” Although Luo Xi had guessed a few things, she was still a bit surprised to hear this.

“Because of some concerns… I broke off the engagement, but she seemed to have amnesia after waking up from the accident and forgot about it. When she saw me, she asked if I had abandoned her for a ‘White Moonlight’.”

Luo Yan felt a bit of a headache at this point. “So now we’re together.”

“So you mean you’re together because of her misunderstanding?”

“…Not exactly.” Luo Yan glanced at her sister: “I’m definitely with her primarily because I like her.”

“Was it you who proposed the breakup before, or…?”

Luo Xi felt this matter couldn’t be smoothed over so easily, so she persisted.

“I proposed it. She didn’t like me originally either, and I didn’t want to use the previous generation’s engagement to bind her.”

“And she likes you just because of a car accident?” Luo Xi’s questions were getting sharper.

“…I guess you could say that.” Luo Yan knew Luo Xi was asking for her own good, but how could matters of the heart be summarized so simply in a few sentences?

Therefore, after some deliberation, she said: “Actually, the reason I got together with her so quickly was also due to the doctor’s suggestion. She shouldn’t be overstimulated, otherwise who knows what might happen. I can only go along with her for now and wait until she recovers her memory.”

Luo Xi heard the difficulty in her words and sighed: “What will you do if she blames you after she recovers her memory?”

“Then let her blame me.” Luo Yan had no other choice now. “But Sister, you don’t need to worry so much for me. The doctor told me that instead of being hesitant, it’s better to just let go and have a good relationship, to enjoy it… that’s why I came to terms with it so quickly.”

Luo Yan paused for a moment, a smile appearing on her face: “Sister, I feel that even if I didn’t get together with her now, I might have compromised in the end anyway. A-Wu has a fatal attraction for me; I can’t avoid it many times. Instead of wasting each other’s time, it’s better to just let the mistake stand from the beginning… after all, who knows what will happen in the future?”

Luo Xi felt her sister’s helplessness and determination and knew she couldn’t stop her. She sighed: “Yanyan has grown up; many things require making your own decisions. It seems I can’t help you much from the side.”

“This was originally a trolley problem, and where in this world is there anything perfect? To have possessed is better than never to have had at all.” Luo Yan was very open-minded and spoke directly.

“You’re right about that.” Luo Xi looked at her sister again and realized she could no longer see her as a child; she had indeed grown up.

“So Sister, there’s no need to worry about me.” Hearing the agreement in her tone, Luo Yan didn’t say anything more but smiled gently, her demeanor relaxing slightly.

“But caring for someone is one thing—you’ve lost weight. You definitely haven’t rested properly.” Their mother had left when they were young, and Luo Xi, being several years older, truly cared for [bailiantales.com]Luo Yan like a second mother, naturally feeling heartache for her sister.

“So I’ve decided to rest early tonight.” Luo Yan nodded vigorously, strongly agreeing with her.

“Alright then, I’ll be going now.” Luo Xi didn’t want to disturb her too much, so she stood up to leave.

“Wait, Sister, I have one more thing to tell you.” Seeing her about to leave, Luo Yan stopped her.

“What is it?”

“It’s about Luo Qing.”

Hearing this, Luo Xi’s expression became serious again, sensing the gravity of the situation. She sat back down to listen.

Luo Yan didn’t hide anything and directly related what she had seen and heard today, especially emphasizing how Luo Qing and that Alpha son of the Yang family were nearly performing a temporary marking in the street. Finally, she added: “I’ve already set people to investigate, but I suspect they want to cause trouble for me during the shareholders’ meeting to keep my image bad.”

After all, it was nearly the end of the year, and the shareholders’ meeting wasn’t far off. Every subsidiary wanted to show some results to have a better next year. Although Luo Qing hadn’t graduated yet, graduation wasn’t far off, and she still didn’t have a single company to her name, which was quite telling.

This meant she had to do something to catch Luo Debai’s attention and fight for her own interests.

And the “unskilled and brainless” Luo Yan became her best stepping stone.

In fact, that was exactly what happened in the book. The original owner was framed several times, became increasingly rebellious, and her influence Read on BaiLianTales with Luo Debai worsened until he finally grew fed up, took back her company to give to Luo Qing, and cut off many of her cards. In short, she fell from grace.

It was from that point on that the original owner became truly destitute and rebellious, spending her days playing around with Omegas until she eventually targeted Xue Wu and died.

It was truly tragic to think about.

But since she had now transmigrated as the original owner, she naturally wouldn’t let those things happen; she had to stop them.

“Okay.” Luo Xi didn’t say much, but the look in her eyes toward her sister deepened: “Yanyan has truly grown up.”

“Sister, I said before that I won’t be so headstrong and confused anymore. I won’t oppose you. I know why you pretended to be on good terms with that mother and daughter before. Now I think you don’t need to endure that burden anymore. Together, we can definitely unmask them.”

“Good. Hearing Yanyan think this way makes me satisfied. I was also somewhat wrong before; I shouldn’t have neglected you for temporary interests and distanced our relationship.”

Luo Xi felt quite emotional hearing her words and patted her sister on the shoulder: “I’ll keep an eye on Luo Qing’s affairs. If she really does something detrimental to the Luo family, I won’t let her off for any reason. For now, you rest well; you’ve lost weight.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, Sister.” Luo Yan could tell Luo Xi truly cared for her and agreed with a smile.

“My sister’s tongue is getting sweeter and sweeter.” Luo Xi spoke a few more words and then left.

Luo Yan was left alone in the room, finally having time to calm down and sort through recent events.

Until now, she felt her body was fine with no discomfort, except ​stolen content​for the wound being a bit painful at night, which was hard to bear.

This past month had been like a roller coaster, being busy every day. Before she knew it, so many things had happened.

It was truly poignant.

As Luo Yan was thinking this, Xue Wu’s video call came in. Luo Yan saw it and was about to answer when she suddenly felt a sharp pain at the site of her abdominal wound. The pain was so intense she curled up, and her phone fell to the floor. Xue Wu’s video call kept ringing, but she didn’t even have the strength to move her finger.

She could only watch as the screen went dark.

Luo Yan reached out to cover her abdomen; it was already bleeding heavily. Her gaze was unfocused, and her will was being dismantled by pain and panic. She had no idea what was going on—why was this happening?

But she knew that heavy bleeding from an Alpha would attract the attention of other Alphas and Omegas. She was at home; she couldn’t let her sister worry or let Luo Qing catch her in a vulnerable state. After some thought, she could only use her pheromones to force the bleeding to stop, then struggled to pick up the phone to call Zhao Xin.

It was during this time that Xue Wu’s video call came again. She accidentally pressed “Decline,” and an uneasy premonition rose in her heart.

But she had no choice; she couldn’t let the big villain see her like this, otherwise everything she did today would be useless.

Zhao Xin quickly answered the phone: “Hello? Second Miss?” Her tone was nervous.

“Zhao Xin, bring a doctor, and maybe a pheromone detector too,” Luo Yan said weakly.

“…Second Miss, did something happen?” Zhao Xin had always been worried about Luo [stolen content]Yan’s health. Hearing her tone, she could only guess something was wrong.

“The wound suddenly burst open and I’m bleeding heavily for some reason. I suspect there might be another cause.” Luo Yan didn’t want to stain her sheets, and it would be dangerous if someone opened the door and saw her.

So she struggled into the bathroom and explained.

“…Like that?” Zhao Xin also felt something was wrong. “Go to the hospital.”

“Not going to the hospital for now.” Luo Yan saw that Xue Wu had sent her a message, sounding a bit coquettish and blaming her for not answering the video call.

She knew she couldn’t go anywhere tonight; she had to stay home.

And since Luo Qing had been so close to that Alpha son of the Yang family today, she must be monitoring her every move. she couldn’t let her catch her.

So in the end, she had Zhao Xin bring a doctor, and had the doctor disguise themselves to enter through the back door; otherwise, it would be a mess.

While waiting, she first sent a message back to Xue Wu: [In the shower, can I reply later? My persistent Sister A-Wu.]

She knew sending that would make her shy. Sure enough, the blame lessened: [How long are you going to be?]

Luo Yan considered for a moment. It would take at least an hour for Zhao Xin to arrive with the doctor. She seemed to have stopped the bleeding for now. A full shower was out, but washing her hair and wiping her body was doable.

So she finally replied: [Can I find you in 15 minutes?]

Xue Wu reluctantly accepted: [Fine, I’ll wait for you.]

So she ended up washing her hair and tending to the wound herself. It was actually slightly deeper than in the afternoon, and the pain had escalated. The large bloodstain on her clothes was terrifying. It was extremely distressing. She began to suspect if the Omega’s knife had some high-tech feature.

However, after cleaning up, she felt much better and less in pain. Her spirits recovered slightly, and hiding it from the big villain shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

When she came out again, she saw several video call invitations. The woman was not being shy at all.

Luo Yan felt the big villain was becoming quite clingy—perhaps excessively so—and was completely different from the person she originally knew.

But the feeling of being needed by her Omega was quite good. She felt she could handle it, so she immediately called back. She was holding a towel and drying her hair, disguising everything as normal.

Xue Wu quickly answered. Seeing her drying her hair in a bathrobe, appearing sexy and relaxed, was a sharp contrast to her usual capable yet somewhat childish self.

But the suspicion in her heart had not dissipated. On the contrary, what Omega wouldn’t like an Alpha like this? Her “White Moonlight” would surely like her too.

And since they had just reunited, they would surely meet often and pour their hearts out to each other. So she had called several times as a test; if Luo Yan really was in the shower and the White Moonlight was waiting outside, she surely wouldn’t be able to resist answering the video call. That way, she would know who this person was.

But unexpectedly, several calls went unanswered, resulting in a busy tone.

“Yanyan just finished showering?” she asked casually.

“Yeah, just finished. Why isn’t Sister A-Wu sleeping yet?”

“Didn’t you say I could call you if I missed you?”

“Ahem, I didn’t think you’d miss me this much.” Luo Yan was caught off guard by the directness.

“How could I not miss you?” Xue Wu looked at her steadily. Even though she wasn’t doing anything, it made Luo Yan flush, which she wasn’t used to.

An Omega has that power—one look can make someone surrender.

“Sister A-Wu, don’t tease me so late at night; I can’t handle it.” She looked away slightly, her earlobes turning bright red.

Xue Wu found it amusing. She looked at the layout of the room and saw no suspicious figures.

Then she deliberately tapped the screen, pointing toward her collarbone: “Are you sure it’s not you teasing me late at night?”

Luo Yan remained silent, silently pulling her collar higher to hide it, making Xue Wu laugh again: “I’ve already seen it; hiding it now is useless.”

“Sister A-Wu…” Luo Yan was left with no temper after the teasing. Since she couldn’t win the argument anyway, she simply surrendered.

“Hmm, I’ll let you off if you accompany me to sleep tonight.”

“Accompany you to sleep…? How exactly do I do that?”

Luo Yan asked slowly. This time even her neck turned red; one look and you knew what kind of “yellow” thoughts she was having.

Xue Wu, seeing her like this, felt quite sentimental about how she could be so shy. She tapped her head through the screen: “What are you thinking? When I say accompany me to sleep, I mean chatting across the distance like this until we fall asleep. Did you think I wanted you to do something else?”

“Ahem, Sister A-Wu is right to scold me. I indeed thought too much.” Luo Yan immediately admitted her mistake, but the base of her neck was still as red as azaleas in bloom, possessing a unique charm.

Xue Wu, looking at her, suddenly thought… actually, her little Alpha was only in her early twenties. She would have the same thoughts and impulses as any other Alpha. Although she had taken the initiative to kiss her, and surely had further thoughts, she restrained herself every time and didn’t cross the line.

If she hadn’t been able to restrain herself every time, Xue Wu might have left her long ago, even if she liked her.

And now, she had only blushed and hadn’t made any other demands, which Xue Wu felt was beyond her expectations.

If they could continue like this, she didn’t think it would be bad, but now that a White Moonlight had appeared, many things she thought she knew had to be re-evaluated.

She had made that request just now because she didn’t want her spending time with anyone else—she only wanted her for herself. The little Alpha hadn’t shown any resistance to the request, only turning red. Perhaps her White Moonlight wasn’t there tonight?

“Are you going to continue working after your shower?” Xue Wu remembered she still had work to do. It was nearly 9 PM, which was indeed getting late.

“Yes, Sister A-Wu. It’s [stolen content]getting late, you should rest early.” Luo Yan didn’t hide it and spoke directly.

“I want to look at the script. I’m afraid I’ll forget it by the time I return to the crew.” Xue Wu was already holding the script for “The Pearl.” Seeing her in good spirits, Luo Yan didn’t say more but went to the study, opened her laptop, and began writing her draft.

Both of them quietly attended to their own business on opposite sides of the phone. Occasionally they would look up at each other, and seeing the other working seriously, they would look back down and continue.

Xue Wu had just woken up and hadn’t fully recovered, so after a short while, she became sleepy. She stopped reading the script, put it down, and looked at Luo Yan. From her angle, she could only see Luo Yan’s profile, but it was exceptionally refined—the lines were smooth, looking sharp yet soft, giving a sense of being “hard on the outside and soft on the inside.” Just looking at her, she found it hard to turn away.
