A Rich Family’s Matrilocal Alpha Married to a Vegetative Omega - Chapter 18

“I don’t like you having excessive contact with any Omega other than me. If I catch you again, you’re dead.” Qin Shujian’s voice was as cold as a winter gale.

Ye Fan had never heard Qin Shujian speak to her with such severity. Her neck stiffened instantly, and she hurriedly raised her hands in a vow: “I swear! I will absolutely not mess around! I won’t even spare a second glance for another Omega!”

Qin Shujian gave a light huff. “You’d better. Otherwise, I won’t be as easy to talk to as I am this time.”

Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing this matter had finally passed. She hadn’t expected her delicate, soft wife to have a hidden yandere streak.

She wondered what other secrets the original owner might be hiding. Should she tell her wife the truth—that she was a transmigrator?

But the idea of transmigration was too far-fetched. Would her wife believe her? Or would she think it was just another excuse?

While Ye Fan was agonizing over whether to speak, a knock sounded at the ward door. A nurse walked in to check Ye Fan’s physical condition following her injection.

Originally, Wei Xing’s plan was for Ye Fan and Qin Shujian to escape through the window once everyone in the ward had left, with Wei Xing waiting below to receive them. However, because Qin Shujian could not control her body, the plan had to be temporarily altered—and the person in front of them was the key to their breakthrough.

Hearing the movement in the room, Qin Shujian reminded Ye Fan, “You can make your move now.”

Ye Fan felt the syringe Wei Xing had given her earlier in her pocket. As the nurse leaned down to begin the examination, Ye Fan suddenly jabbed her. Before the nurse could react, the small dose of sedative had already been fully administered.

Looking at the nurse collapsed on the floor, Ye Fan began to strip off the nurse’s outer robe, muttering, “Sister Nurse, I had no choice. Please don’t blame me when you wake up.”

Time was of the essence. Ye Fan didn’t dare delay. She quickly changed into the nurse’s uniform and stepped out to retrieve the disguise props for Qin Shujian from the location Wei Xing had provided.

Back in the ward, Ye Fan carefully disguised Qin Shujian, then leaned down to pick her up and place her in a wheelchair.

The sudden empty feeling in her arms made Ye Fan feel a bit unaccustomed; Qin Shujian’s body heat seemed to linger on her fingertips.

Her wife truly lived up to being an Omega; her body was so soft and delicate. If the timing weren’t so critical, she would have loved to ask Qin Shujian for a kiss.

But if we successfully escape this time, wife will surely reward me, Ye Fan thought, her eyes crinkling with joy at the prospect.

Qin Shujian felt a bit helpless as she sensed Ye Fan standing still after letting go. She wondered what this “little chatterbox” was daydreaming about now.

“Ye Fan, let’s go.”

“Mhm! Let’s go.”

Ye Fan pushed the wheelchair toward the door. The Qin family guards had already been lured away by Wei Xing.

The hospital’s surveillance had also been intercepted by Wei Xing with a fake loop; the security room wouldn’t see them leaving.

Nevertheless, Ye Fan was incredibly nervous. Her hands on the wheelchair were sweaty, her breathing was heavy, and she didn’t even dare look up as she walked.

Nurses and doctors hurried back and forth in the corridor. When a nurse accidentally bumped into Ye Fan, her heart leaped into her throat, and she stopped breathing for a second.

The young nurse quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, are you both okay?”

“We’re fine,” Ye Fan managed to say, her voice dry.

The nurse was likely too busy to notice Ye Fan’s abnormality. After apologizing again, she rushed off.

Qin Shujian sensed Ye Fan’s unease and comforted her gently, “Don’t be nervous. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to show a flaw. Breathe and relax. As long as you do exactly what Wei Xing said, nothing will go wrong…”

Ye Fan took a deep breath. With Qin Shujian’s comfort, she gradually relaxed. Following the route and timing Wei Xing provided, she made it all the way to the first floor without further incident.

As they stepped out of the first-floor lobby and saw the exit right before them, Ye Fan’s steps grew lighter. Almost there. As soon as they found the car Wei Xing had pre-arranged, they could leave. The license plate was…

The license plate… In an instant, Ye Fan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Why have you stopped?”

Ye Fan’s voice trembled; the breath that had carried her this far vanished.

“Wei Xing didn’t say what the license plate number was!”

Qin Shujian fell silent, realizing the problem immediately. Qin Wan and the doctor had arrived too quickly; Wei Xing hadn’t had the chance to clarify the plate number.

A security guard on duty glanced over. Seeing Ye Fan standing still with a wheelchair, he walked toward them.

“Why have you pushed the patient all the way out here?”

They were only one step away!

Ye Fan, you still have to take your wife out of here!

She silently cheered herself on, forcing herself to stay calm.

“The patient has been in the ward for a long time and felt a bit stifled, so I brought her out for some fresh air.” Ye Fan blinked and offered the guard a friendly smile.

“There’s a designated area over by the North Gate for patients to relax. You must be new here if you don’t know that.”

“Ah, haha, yes. You caught me, Mr. Security Guard.”

Ye Fan laughed sheepishly. The guard didn’t suspect anything but glanced at Qin Shujian.

“The patient is asleep and the wind is strong. Don’t go wandering around aimlessly; get back inside quickly so the patient doesn’t catch a cold.”

“I’ll go back right now. Thank you for the reminder, brother.”

Ye Fan turned the wheelchair around to leave, her mind racing for a counter-strategy.

What could they do? They had worked so hard to get this far; were they really going back?

Before Ye Fan could get very far, the guard behind her suddenly shouted: “Stop right there!”

Before Ye Fan could process why the friendly guard had suddenly changed his tune, Qin Shujian realized the truth—they had been exposed!

“Go around the guard and run for the gate! If we don’t get out now, we won’t have another chance!”

No matter what happened, she had to listen to her wife! Ye Fan pushed the wheelchair and started to sprint.

However, because she was pushing Qin Shujian and had to worry about the uneven ground, Ye Fan couldn’t run at full capacity. Before long, she was tackled and subdued by the guard.

Ye Fan was devastated. If they failed this escape, it would only be harder next time.

She offered a tearful, forced smile to the guard. “Brother, surely there’s some misunderstanding. I was just about to go back. Why are you grabbing me? I… I still need to take the patient back.”

The guard said nothing. Following orders from above, he and his colleagues escorted Ye Fan back to the ward.

Inside the ward, Qin Wan’s face was dark. Housekeeper Su stood beside her, looking equally grim. Doctors and nurses were waiting; the moment they saw Qin Shujian returned, they swarmed her with precision instruments to check her condition.

One would have thought something terrible had happened to her.

Ye Fan muttered under her breath, “I just took the Eldest Miss out for a stroll, I hadn’t even done anything yet…”

“Ye Fan!”

Qin Wan’s face was taut, her eyes like storm clouds carrying lightning.

Ye Fan’s scalp tingled under Qin Wan’s gaze, and her face fell. “Madam Qin…”

“Have I been too lenient with you lately, making you forget your place?!”

A chill raced up Ye Fan’s spine. She cried inwardly—Madam Qin was truly terrifying.

Although Qin Shujian couldn’t see, she knew from their time together exactly how scared Ye Fan must be right now.

She comforted her helplessly, Don’t be afraid. Mother still needs you for the embryo cultivation; she won’t do anything to you.

Ye Fan thought: Wife is still the best, she even knows how to comfort me. It’s my fault for not escaping successfully, but for my wife’s sake, I cannot back down!

“Madam Qin, Shujian hasn’t woken up yet. Don’t you need to wait for her to wake up and ask if she’s willing? Isn’t this too unfair to Miss Qin?” Ye Fan’s voice trembled, betraying her fear, but she still stood up for Qin Shujian.

Qin Wan hadn’t expected Ye Fan to actually talk back. Her expression darkened, and she radiated a chilling, murderous aura.

“Remember your status! You are merely a matrilocal Alpha recruited by my family. You have no right to meddle in Qin family affairs.”

Ye Fan felt that if it weren’t for the rule of law, Qin Wan might have actually struck her.

She swallowed. “I know I’m just a matrilocal Alpha and you look down on me. But Shujian is my wife. I have a responsibility to protect her.”

Qin Shujian was Qin Wan’s most beloved daughter. If those people hadn’t pressed her so hard, how could she have done this to her? Being accused by Ye Fan only made her anger surge further.

“My daughter does not need protection from the likes of you. Think about yourself first!”

Although Qin Shujian’s body couldn’t move, she heard the conversation clearly. A wave of warmth flowed through her heart.

This dummy. She’s clearly so terrified, yet she insists on speaking up for me.

Conversely, Qin Wan’s icy attitude made Qin Shujian feel a slight chill of disappointment.

Ye Fan, someone she had known for only a few months, respected her wishes. Yet her mother, who had been with her for over twenty years, only cared about a new heir for the Qin Group.

Qin Wan was unaware that Qin Shujian could perceive the outside world and continued to glare at Ye Fan.

“I don’t know how you got in touch with Wei Xing, but she has already been caught by my people. Don’t think she can help you anymore. Behave yourself.”

Ye Fan hadn’t expected Wei Xing to be caught too. She panicked instantly: “What did you do to Wei Xing?”

Qin Wan didn’t answer. She gestured to several bodyguards. “You lot, watch her closely. Do not let her step a single foot out of this room!”

“Yes, Madam.” The bodyguards responded and took their positions with practiced discipline.

Qin Wan ignored Ye Fan and walked out of the room. The nurses and doctors followed. As the last person left, the ward door slammed shut with a bang, and the room was suddenly silent.
