After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 19.2
Xue Wu couldn’t say if she was doing this completely on a whim or if she was being controlled by pheromones. In short… it was mostly an attempt to test her.
She wasn’t interested in Luo Yan originally, but the girl had provoked her time and again; she couldn’t be completely uninterested.
Moreover, she hadn’t asked for any reward or required her to do anything after helping her, which was beyond her expectations.
Xue Wu didn’t like being in debt. She had lived for nearly 30 years in her previous life, and since childhood, when people asked her to do things, it was with strong ulterior motives. Even though she was very repulsed by this, she had no choice but to accept it; she simply couldn’t resist.
Who asked her to be an orphan? Who asked her to always live under someone else’s roof? And who asked her to be so used to PUA that she didn’t even know how to resist, even though she knew their actions were wrong?
But for a person who has lived in such a simple environment since childhood, changing one’s mindset is actually extremely difficult. She was that loser, a total loser, who owned nothing belonging to herself until the day she died.
Suddenly, a strange Alpha like Luo Yan appeared—someone who helped her without reward every time, even losing a pipe cleaner tulip and being owed a pinky ring. It would be truly strange if she wasn’t curious. So, she tried to test and tease her in every possible way, wanting to see where her bottom line was.
And now, she had come to help her again. She felt the wound on her hand had stopped bleeding; it must be her doing. Guarding her bedside in the middle of the night… she didn’t believe the girl didn’t want to do anything—
So, she simply decided to play along and use the method all Alphas like best and cannot resist… throwing herself into her arms to see how she would react, whether she was really asleep or pretending… it would be clear at a glance.
Just as her lips were about to land on Luo Yan’s, the previously sound asleep Alpha suddenly opened her pitch-black eyes and woke up. There was no emotional fluctuation in her eyes, cold as a beast awakening on the plains, making one shiver and not dare to act recklessly.
Luo Yan reached out quickly and blocked her lips. She stared at her for a long time before finally coming back to her senses from the half-dreaming state. Her eyes gradually cleared, realizing the person looking at her was the big villain. She woke up mostly immediately, her eyes showing that fearful look again: “Miss Xue, you’re awake? S-sorry… I didn’t mean to.”
She spoke while quickly retreating, creating a large distance between herself and Xue Wu, wishing she could leave the room.
Xue Wu looked at her panicked movements and expression, her lips twitching. Her playfulness grew even stronger. She reached out to touch her face, but was still avoided by Luo Yan: “M-Miss Xue, please respect yourself! I’m not that kind of person!”
“You’re not that kind of person… so you’re saying I’m that kind of person, right?”
“…Not at all.” Luo Yan cried out inwardly, not understanding why the big villain was suddenly treating her like this. She felt deep fear! Besides, wasn’t she still sick? Is she completely fine now? Tossing and turning her right after waking up!
“Then come here.”
“Come here to d-do what…” Luo Yan wasn’t so obedient as to approach her, but asked while staying away. Just kidding, the last time she approached, she was hugged and couldn’t do anything, under her control. She couldn’t fall for the same trick twice.
“I can only tell you if you come over.” she said it as if it were natural, with a bright smile, like a flower demon appearing suddenly in the morning, dreamlike and enchanting, luring people closer.
Facing her like this, Luo Yan was even more afraid. Not only did she not approach, but she stood up and stayed as far away as possible, as if she were some man-eating monster. Seeing this, Xue Wu found it even more amusing. She took the initiative to get out of bed and approach her, her slender hand on Luo Yan’s forearm, her eyes alluring: “Miss Luo, why are you always so afraid of me?”
“Miss Xue has misunderstood. I’m not afraid of you, but afraid of myself.”
“Hmm?” She seemed genuinely interested, her hand still resting on the forearm.
“Miss Xue, no matter how useless I am, I am an Alpha. And Miss Xue should be very clear about her charm. A mere useless Alpha like me cannot block your pheromones. Staying a bit away is better for the sake of giving an account.”
“An account?” Xue Wu looked at her serious expression and felt like laughing: “To whom are you giving an account? Your truckload of ex-girlfriends?”
She looked up at her, smiling with crescent eyes, full of charm, making it impossible to look away, only wanting to sink into her gaze and never wake up.
Luo Yan almost fell under her spell. You couldn’t blame her for not holding out; this time Xue Wu used pheromones that were almost wrapping around her arm. How could one not fall? After all, she was a top-tier Omega; although not very aggressive, her pheromones themselves were a dangerous and seductive existence.
They could not be ignored.
“…Miss Xue, what do you mean now? I’m really not a casual person. There was a reason I pretended to be a playboy before, it’s not what you think, so please respect yourself. Also, you were seriously ill last night, you should rest well instead of indulging yourself.”
Luo Yan couldn’t grasp what she wanted to do to her and could only refuse her solemnly again, looking righteous as she told her to cherish her body.
At this moment, she actually realized that the big villain didn’t like her at all; from beginning to end, it was mostly teasing, including everything that happened at school today. In that case, she couldn’t sink in, otherwise if she were the only one who took it seriously, it would be very embarrassing.
“Oh? Then what was the reason?” She didn’t move away, even grabbing her wrist as if afraid she would leave, which left Luo Yan very speechless.
“…I-I actually have a ‘White Moonlight,’ but she disliked my rank being too low and my age being too young. I had no choice but to work hard to grow. The reason I was such a hedonist before… was entirely to make my White Moonlight jealous so she would change her mind, but I didn’t expect her not to care at all.”
Luo Yan acted sad at this point, letting out a helpless sigh: “Miss Xue… even if you really like me, I cannot respond to your love. If you really want to thank me, you can add another request for me.”
These words in Xue Wu’s ears were very obvious: that is… Luo Yan knew she didn’t like her and was just teasing her. She couldn’t judge if the White Moonlight existed, but her intention to refuse was very clear.
An Alpha who is so devoid of desire and yet so steadfast… to be honest, she had never seen one, nor did she believe such an Alpha existed in this world.
She would not underestimate human nature, and similarly, she would not overestimate it. Normally, an Omega making such overtures to an Alpha with such high pheromone compatibility so many times without a response, using such a dubious excuse to stall her… there must be a huge problem.
She almost immediately looked suspiciously at the little Alpha: “Could it be that you’re ‘incapable’?”
Luo Yan: “…” Young lady, what kind of things are you secretly imagining? It’s terrifying.
Stop making things up!
“Then… then Miss Xue thinks where am I incapable?”
“Born with a defect, unable to perform.”
“…”
Luo Yan didn’t know what to say anymore, nor did she want to say anything. She sighed: “Think whatever you want then.”
She saw it was about time. The big villain still had the mood to joke with her, which proved she was fine. So she spoke to take her leave: “Since Miss Xue is fine, I won’t stay here any longer. I’m going home.”
“Why did you come over last night?” Xue Wu didn’t say she could go or that she couldn’t. She just looked over slowly, her alluring feline eyes full of curiosity.
No one could last more than a few seconds in such a gaze. Luo Yan only felt her consciousness being seized, even her ability to organize language slowed down. She didn’t know if this was a talent of the big villain or because of the mutual pheromone attraction. In short, she almost fell under her spell again.
She moved her gaze slightly and composed herself: “Your assistant invited me over.”
“Oh? So Miss Luo is that obedient?”
“…Woof—”
Luo Yan understood her meaning and said nothing else, but spoke directly like this.
Xue Wu didn’t expect her to be so proactive and laughed: “Student Luo Yan, you are truly quite interesting.”
“I’m honored…” Luo Yan said with a fake smile.
“I am truly grateful to you for last night. Without you, I might be in the ICU now.” Xue Wu stopped teasing her and her tone became very serious, which actually made Luo Yan a bit uncomfortable.
“Actually, I didn’t help you with much. Instead, your assistant and the doctor cared more for you. Miss Xue should just try not to get hurt easily in the future.” Luo Yan was speaking from the heart. More so, she didn’t want to get further involved with Xue Wu, fearing another accident.
Actually, the original owner’s path was now going according to her plan. As long as she didn’t seek death and cooperated well with her sister, the mother and daughter at home would be no match for them.
And on the big villain’s side… she had saved her so many times, both actively and passively, and had gained two promises from her. she felt her life should be safe. As long as she didn’t have any malicious intent toward the big villain, she should basically be fine.
So… Luo Yan didn’t take credit but still thought of using her original plan to stay away from Xue Wu.
Xue Wu knew this was a humble statement. In fact, without her, she definitely wouldn’t be well now. But she could also hear… this little Alpha still naively believed she could brutally sever the bond between them.
Well, she would wait and see.
Xue Wu said no more and let her leave. But Chen Jia came in just as Luo Yan was about to go. Seeing the atmosphere between them, she immediately felt something was not quite normal, so she glanced at Xue Wu: “Sister Wu, do you feel any discomfort after waking up?”
“No, I feel great.”
“We really have to thank Miss Luo for coming over last night, otherwise it would have been too dangerous.”
As Chen Jia spoke, she signaled Xue Wu to sit down to see the condition of the wound. If it was still not right later and Luo Yan had left, it would be a very troublesome matter.
Luo Yan naturally understood the other’s meaning and stayed a bit longer. She saw Xue Wu’s phone ring, with a few words as a note on the screen. Luo Yan was close to the phone and saw the name “Wang Xuezhi.” She didn’t react at first.
But in the middle of Chen Jia treating the wound, she finally remembered: Wang Xuezhi was the name of Xue Wu’s White Moonlight! She was a top-tier Alpha who had been studying abroad for years and hadn’t returned.
She was good friends with both Xue Wu and the female lead, Xue Fu.
This meant Wang Xuezhi didn’t know Xue Wu liked her. Later, she became a “fish” for the female lead, as if hit by a “brain-rot” buff, and failed to rush back when Xue Wu died.
The book described Wang Xuezhi later regretting Xue Wu’s death for the rest of her life, but it was ultimately irrecoverable. In the end, she didn’t end up with anyone else but died alone.
Luo Yan felt a sense of sorrow when she saw her ending. Although the big villain did do many bad things, if these people hadn’t provoked her first, the big villain wouldn’t have done that. These people bullied Xue Wu first, so she gave them an eye for an eye.
It’s just that she was given a bad identity and perspective by the author to handle things, otherwise… she believed Xue Wu’s popularity and persona completely had the chance to be the protagonist.
And now Xue Wu let Wang Xuezhi’s call ring for a long time without caring, until the call was hung up; she had no reaction.
Luo Yan: “…” Although she was curious, she also knew curiosity killed the cat. she would never proactively ask the big villain anything about Wang Xuezhi.
But Xue Wu was so sharp, she saw at a glance that Luo Yan had something to say. She looked at her and said: “Ask whatever you want, I will answer everything.”
“No, absolutely not.” Luo Yan denied immediately, pressing her lips tight.
“Wang Xuezhi is just my good friend. She’s been troubled by love lately and often complains to me. I just can’t be bothered with her.” Xue Wu answered proactively.
“Oh…” Although her face was calm, her heart was screaming: She knew this plot! At this stage, Wang Xuezhi seemed to like the female lead. If she remembered correctly, the female lead was the big villain’s adoptive sister, so naturally, she would consult Xue Wu.
But… Xue Wu’s White Moonlight was also her. How could she give Wang Xuezhi away? Moreover, the female lead and the big villain were naturally in two different camps. This meant the White Moonlight was dancing between two important characters, seemingly unafraid that grass would grow over her own grave.
No wonder the big villain’s face was so bad; it turned out to be because of this.
“Great, Sister Wu, your hand seems fine now!” Chen Jia was very dutiful in caring for the big villain. Seeing the wound on her finger had healed extremely well, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, her joy evident.
“Since that’s the case and there’s nothing for me to do, I’ll be going.” Luo Yan also checked the healing of the wound. It was indeed not as serious as last night. She was amazed that pheromones had such a powerful effect, but her face remained impassive as she take her leave from Xue Wu again.
“Have breakfast before you go.” Xue Wu rejected her proposal to go home again and spoke to her once more.
Luo Yan: “…” Confirmed as a tool.
In the end, she couldn’t win over the big villain and stayed. Because she had to maintain her figure, the big villain usually ate very lightly, and with her body being unstable these past few days, she couldn’t have heavy meals.
Luo Yan had designed all night and used a lot of pheromones, so naturally, she was starving. When she saw the big villain’s table full of light tea and simple breakfast, her face immediately dropped.
Too miserable, truly too miserable.
She wanted to cry. It seemed the advice she gave on the phone last night to eat well wasn’t taken to heart at all. she was just a pure “sucker”!
“What? Is Student Luo Yan looking down on my breakfast?” Xue Wu felt amused seeing her look of hidden suffering and spoke deliberately.
“No, no, it’s just that I’ve been on a diet lately.” How could Luo Yan dare say “no”? Even if she didn’t want to, she choked it down with tears.
“If Miss Luo gets any thinner, there will be nothing left but bones. I hope your White Moonlight won’t dislike you then.” Xue Wu joked with her, which Luo Yan found novel.
Was the big villain just joking with her? No way, no way, no way?!
“Eat up, don’t just stare at me, I’m not tasty.” Xue Wu wasn’t really trying to torture Luo Yan; she had her cook make something else for her—meat, soup, and noodles. It was perfect.
Luo Yan looked at the bowl of fresh, steaming shrimp wonton noodles in front of her. It was unexpected. She asked stutteringly: “For me?”
“Yeah. If you don’t eat, I will.” Xue Wu found her dazed look both funny and complex. It made it seem like she frequently abused her, which she didn’t.
“No, no, no, you’re injured now and can’t eat shrimp. Only I can eat it.” As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
Xue Wu had no appetite; she mostly propped up her exquisite chin and watched her eat, which made Luo Yan uncomfortable again. She had to stop and ask: “Why isn’t Miss Xue eating?”
“No appetite.”
“You should eat a little more or less.” Otherwise, where would she find the strength to snatch back the White Moonlight?
“You seem quite easy to keep. A bowl of wonton noodles actually makes you this happy and satisfied.” Xue Wu said with a smile, her interest strong.
But Luo Yan sensed something else: “…Miss Xue, if you want to keep a pet, find a legitimate way to do it. Don’t go for any illegitimate ways, or it’s easy to be deceived.”
“Miss Luo is saying she is a pet? You’re over-imagining things.” Xue Wu naturally knew her meaning and said with a smile, causing Luo Yan’s face to turn red.
She really… frequently faced social death in front of the big villain.
She also lost interest in continuing the idle chat and finished the bowl of wonton noodles. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a knock on the door—loud and urgent. She even wondered for a moment if the person was going to break the door.
“Xue Wu, open the door! You’re getting more capable now! Actually hiding a person in your house! What are you thinking? Afraid people don’t know your situation?”
“Hiding a person…?” Something bad popped into her mind. She frowned and looked at Xue Wu.
If she heard correctly, this should be the voice of Xue Wu’s manager? Coming to find Xue Wu this early? And immediately saying she was hiding someone… clearly someone had informed her.
Luo Yan somehow thought of the female lead in the book. Clearly the big villain’s adoptive sister, yet they were very discordant, as if… Xue Wu’s existence completely blocked her path, so she tried every possible way to trip Xue Wu up.
And now… could it be like this again?
She strongly suspected it was the female lead taking revenge on Xue Wu.
Moreover, she suddenly thought that the big villain’s sudden illness last night was also due to unstable pheromones, caused by the adoptive parents’ arrival. Although the big villain didn’t say it, she actually cared about the adoptive parents’ actions, right?
After all, she was the daughter they raised, but they gave all their love to their biological daughter.
While this was justifiable, sometimes blood isn’t as important as kinship.
The big villain had given them many benefits since childhood, yet received such betrayal. It was truly a pity.
Luo Yan thought this and her gaze toward Xue Wu held more sympathy. Seeing this, Xue Wu: “?”
What was the little Alpha imagining now?
“Xue Wu, I know you’re at home, open the door now! Outrageous, you’ve really got guts!” Wang Huina was still shouting outside the door, sounding exasperated, which made one feel quite unpleasant.
“Your manager is always like this?” Luo Yan seemed surprised, frowning as she looked like she hated the other person.
“It wasn’t like this at first. It became like this after my adoptive sister entered the entertainment industry.” Xue Wu thought for a moment and revealed her manager’s anomaly.
“…Fine.” Luo Yan knew the other person must have been hit with a “brain-rot” buff by the protagonist. If her role didn’t die early, she might also be hit with it.
“Miss Xue, please don’t get agitated. Just treat it like they’re farting.” Luo Yan was afraid the big villain would have another accident, so she couldn’t help saying this.
Xue Wu looked at her serious expression and felt it was a bit funny. Even though she was younger, why did she care for her in everything?
“Your White Moonlight really is blind for not liking you.” She suddenly remarked with poignancy.
“Ahem, Miss Xue, at a time like this, don’t tease me.” Hearing her mention the White Moonlight made Luo Yan feel guilty. She felt that after today, she really, truly could not have more in-depth contact with the big villain.
Otherwise, she would be unlucky sooner or later.
“But, what Miss Luo said just now is a method, but as long as my manager is making grand claims outside, I have to deal with her every day. Do you have any good methods?” Xue Wu knit her brows slightly, looking as if she were truly at a loss, making Luo Yan’s mouth twitch.
If she hadn’t read the book, she might have been fooled.
But now she couldn’t be fooled. She also didn’t believe she had no way to deal with this arrogant manager.
“Ahem, is your manager an Omega?” Luo Yan didn’t expose her but asked.
“Yes.”
“In that case, it’s simple.”
Xue Wu looked at her: “Miss Luo isn’t going to use a ‘Beautiful Alpha Trap,’ sacrificing yourself to take my manager in, is she?”
“Cough cough cough cough, you’re overthinking. I’m not that charitable.” Luo Yan was truly startled into coughing. What kind of words were these? Terrifying!
Xue Wu laughed seeing her like this—a very sincere laugh: “You are far too fun, Student Luo Yan.”
“I’m not helping you for free. I need a reward afterward.” Luo Yan didn’t want to portray herself as selfless and spoke a bit mercenary.
“Fine. As long as you’re not asking me to kidnap your White Moonlight for you, I’ll try my best to agree to anything else I can do.” Xue Wu said very seriously.
Luo Yan: “…” The White Moonlight joke is never ending, is it.
She said no more. She packed her things, put them on her shoulder, and walked toward the door. It seemed she was using her method to help resolve the manager’s issue, but at the same time, she didn’t intend to stay at her house anymore. Resolving the manager’s issue was just her way of leaving.
This realization somehow made Xue Wu feel uneasy, even a sense of panic, as if a drowning person had lost their only piece of driftwood. She would do her best to grab that driftwood that could put her at ease.
Because of this, her physical actions almost overrode the logic in her brain. Looking at Luo Yan’s receding back, she suddenly stood up from the chair and grabbed her right hand, her fingers almost interlocking with hers in an intimate way.
Luo Yan was very surprised. She turned her head to look at their clasped hands, her heart suddenly pounding. She asked uncertainly: “Miss Xue?”
At the same time, Wang Huina outside actually started letting the people she brought ram the door of Xue Wu’s house. A loud “bang” drew both of their attention—
