After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 12

“Student Luo Yan, can you come down for a moment?”

As the big villain spoke these words with a beaming smile, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, all eyes turned toward the Alpha standing on the second-floor corridor. The looks were varied and unreadable, but everyone instinctively held their breath, waiting to see what the great Movie Queen Xue Wu wanted with such a “useless” Alpha.

Under the immense pressure, Luo Yan genuinely wanted to flee for a split second, but she forced the urge down. On the contrary, she summoned the aura she possessed before transmigrating and gave the big villain a reserved nod before turning to walk downstairs.

Her manner didn’t come across as pretentious; rather, it had a natural, effortless elegance, as if her cool and proud temperament were innate and inimitable.

Was this Alpha… really the same Luo Yan who was incompetent and constantly played with Omegas? At that moment, everyone seemed to be in disbelief.

Luo Yan descended the stairs at a steady pace and arrived at the big villain’s side. She gave her a small smile, then turned, her smile vanishing into a cold indifference as she gave Zhong Ting a curt nod. The latter let out a cold snort, her face full of disdain.

“Miss Xue, may I ask why you were looking for me?” Luo Yan asked, seeing that the big villain had no intention of explaining directly.

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to ask if you’d be willing to make a cameo appearance as a character. I wonder if you’re interested?” Xue Wu spoke to her with poise, yet she subtly released a thread of pheromones toward the area of Luo Yan’s pinky ring, as if trying to remind her of something—or perhaps trying to leave a scent on her.

The flirtation made Luo Yan’s heart flutter uncontrollably. She instinctively covered her pinky ring, but she hadn’t expected the big villain to take a mile after being given an inch—Xue Wu’s hand practically enveloped hers.

Luo Yan: … Scurred. qvq

“Heh, Teacher Xue, can an ordinary student from a non-acting major handle our role? Even though this character only has one scene, it’s crucial,” Zhong Ting interjected before Luo Yan could answer. Though her voice was lowered, her words were biting: “Teacher Xue wouldn’t let personal feelings interfere with work, would she?”

Luo Yan didn’t like Zhong Ting being so close to Xue Wu; she stepped subtly between the two, creating distance.

Speaking of this Zhong Ting… though the original plot didn’t mention any specific flaws, looking at her now…

“Miss Zhong, did you eat oily pancakes, fried dough sticks, or deep-fried pastries today? You’re so greasy… uh, I mean, your style is very oily.”

“…” How could Zhong Ting not understand what Luo Yan meant? She was calling her “greasy,” but was Luo Yan any better? She was likely even worse.

“Miss Xue, regarding the cameo, we can continue the conversation somewhere with better air. Otherwise, the smell of grease is making my nose allergies act up,” Luo Yan suggested sincerely, looking at Xue Wu.

Xue Wu seemed surprised by how well she could snap back without even using a swear word. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

But Zhong Ting stopped her, bringing up the director’s instructions: “Teacher Xue, the director was just furious, saying he needs a professional jewelry appraiser to cameo and explain the scene, even if a professional actor is unavailable. Your suggestion to the director was to find a student from the university’s jewelry identification major to try out, but you didn’t explicitly say to let Student Luo Yan try. So… isn’t Teacher Xue’s favoritism a bit too obvious?”

Luo Yan didn’t know the full context of what had happened, but she knew a bit about the drama Xue Wu was filming.

The scene to be shot involved the Omega lead attending an open lecture on jewelry identification—a class filled with elites. There, she encounters a mysterious and young jewelry appraiser. While everyone else believes a certain piece of jewelry is authentic, this appraiser declares it a fake and provides a brilliant identification process, earning cheers from the crowd.

This event ignites the Omega lead’s passion for jewelry identification, leading her to seek out the mysterious appraiser after class, hoping for more interaction.

After all, the jewelry industry is a mixed bag, and people who can spot a fake at a glance are few and far between. This appraiser, however, is unique and captures her attention.

This scene is a cornerstone of the Omega lead’s enlightenment in jewelry identification. Although the lecturer only appears once or twice, the role is quite important. Thus, the casting needs to be both plot-appropriate and authentic.

Zhong Ting’s point of contention was that Xue Wu was ignoring the director’s casting criteria just to spend more time with her, by letting her play the lecturer.

Luo Yan: … Help! What right do I have to act!

“Teacher Zhong, let’s be clear: I never said I was designating Student Luo Yan to play the lecturer. I merely invited her to make a cameo. Is there a problem with that?” Xue Wu wasn’t angry in the face of Zhong Ting’s accusation; she simply stated the facts calmly before looking back at Luo Yan. “Student Luo Yan, do you have the confidence to play this role well?”

Luo Yan: … Can I say no? Why do the small fry suffer when the gods fight?

Zhong Ting didn’t speak this time; she just snorted, not believing for a second that this useless Alpha from the Luo family could handle the role.

Everyone on set was “eating melons” (gossiping), watching with great interest, though they were too far away to hear what was being said. They relied entirely on their imagination, with the more chaotic souls praying the two Alphas would just start fighting—that would be much more entertaining.

Luo Yan, naturally unaware of the crowd’s rich inner monologues, took advantage of the director going off to scout other students and led Xue Wu to a secluded area, wanting a private word.

“Student Luo Yan, can’t hold it in anymore?” Xue Wu didn’t refuse; she followed her to a relatively hidden corner against a wall. She tilted her chin up slightly as she spoke, looking as if she were quite looking forward to whatever the girl might do to her.

Luo Yan: “…” Do I look like the type who’s that desperate?

“Miss Xue, don’t misunderstand. I just wanted a few words in private.”

“Oh? Go ahead, I’m listening.” Xue Wu watched her with a faint smile, showing no signs of impatience.

But Luo Yan felt “creepy” being stared at like that. The gland on the back of her neck was acting up again, surging with uncontrollable emotions.

“I… I have no qualifications to act. Miss Xue, please don’t recommend me later, so I don’t embarrass you.”

“That’s it?”

“…That’s it.”

Luo Yan couldn’t read the villain’s attitude. She thought Xue Wu would be angry, but that didn’t seem to be the case. Xue Wu didn’t actually care if she acted or not; calling her down in public was likely just to tease her and retaliate against Zhong Ting.

Zhong Ting’s face had been a kaleidoscope of colors—practically a rainbow. How could the big villain let an Alpha who deliberately tried to seduce her off the hook? In the end, Xue Wu had used her as a tool. To think she had been worried about her; it was a waste of emotion.

“Miss Xue, next time you want to toy with me, please give me a heads-up so I can be mentally prepared to play along,” Luo Yan said, her anger rising until she forgot her precarious situation and spoke recklessly.

“You think I was toying with you just now, so you’re angry?” Faced with her, Xue Wu maintained that same calm, smiling demeanor, which only made Luo Yan want to tear off her mask even more.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Luo Yan said, sticking her neck out, refusing to believe she was wrong.

“Miss Luo, I think you’ve misunderstood something. If I, Xue Wu, wanted to toy with an Alpha, I certainly wouldn’t let them realize it. I wouldn’t deign to use such a low-level tactic that makes you angry.”

Xue Wu let out what sounded like a cold snort and suddenly leaned in. Their noses were nearly touching. The close-range “beauty critical hit” made Luo Yan’s heart skip a beat, and she instinctively stepped back. Her waist, however, was suddenly encircled by the Omega’s pheromones. Seeing her look so utterly panicked, Xue Wu couldn’t help but laugh: “Student Luo Yan, do you want to try the taste of being truly toyed with by me?”

Luo Yan: “…”

“If you don’t speak, I’ll take that as a yes.” As she spoke, she reached out as if to flick Luo Yan’s red lips. Luo Yan finally snapped out of it: “No!”

“No what?” She didn’t stop, tapping Luo Yan’s lips intermittently, half-teasingly and half-provocatively, leaving Luo Yan’s heart in a state of turmoil.

Luo Yan was rigid, not daring to look at her. Her peripheral vision was filled with those slender, jade-like fingers. She lacked the courage to even push her away. Before she knew it, the big villain had completely taken control of the situation, and Luo Yan didn’t even dare say a word.

The reason was simple: if she spoke, she would inevitably bite the villain’s finger, and then she’d never be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Xue Wu was having a great time and had no intention of stopping. She suddenly recalled the clues she had investigated: this seemingly pure Alpha was actually an old hand in the field of romance, having had countless Omegas.

But her lips were so soft, and her canines were hidden behind them, completely undetectable. Could a little Alpha like this really mark an Omega?

She glanced at her, finding it hilarious that the girl had closed her eyes as if facing a firing squad. Xue Wu stood on her tiptoes, her breath lingering near the girl’s lips, close yet far: “Be good. Tell big sister… just how many Omegas have you marked?”

“If you answer well, big sister will reward you with a kiss.”
