After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 20.1

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Several more loud thuds hit the door, sending an inexplicable chill down one’s spine. Luo Yan instinctively tightened her grip on Xue Wu’s fingers, only to meet a gaze that showed no surprise at all. She heard the big villain say soothingly, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Then, after a pause, she added, “Don’t get a cramp or let your legs go weak.”

Luo Yan: “…” Was she really afraid? And is the ‘leg cramp’ joke never going to die?

“I’m not afraid. Besides, no matter how much of a coward I am, I would never need an Omega to help me.” Luo Yan decided to reclaim a bit of her dignity, then boldly teased as she looked at their interlaced hands: “Instead, it’s Miss Xue who suddenly grabbed my hand and locked fingers with me—it seems you’re the one who’s terrified.”

“Yes, I’m very scared. Student Luo Yan must protect me.” She didn’t argue but followed the thread of the conversation, her smile as bright as a flower. Where was there even a trace of fear?

Luo Yan silently averted her gaze, her throat tightening. For some reason, she didn’t talk back again.

“Student Luo Yan, I know you might have a way to deal with Wang Huina, but my manager isn’t easy to handle. It’ll be better if I go with you.” She returned to the business at hand but still didn’t let go of her hand, walking alongside her.

Luo Yan felt the hand was very soft—soft enough that she wouldn’t mind holding it for a lifetime—but this sudden intimacy felt strange. She tried to withdraw her hand, only to find the grip, while seemingly loose, was actually quite firm. She could only say: “Miss Xue, your manager can’t actually bully me. I’m an Alpha, after all. I haven’t fallen to such a pathetic state yet.”

“Are you afraid your ‘White Moonlight’ will be jealous?” Xue Wu gave a non-sequitur answer, but Luo Yan understood her meaning instantly and blurted out: “No…”

“Since you aren’t, stop talking nonsense and move.”

“…”

Luo Yan never expected things to end like this. When they reached the entrance, she hesitated, not wanting to open the door. Outside, Wang Huina had rested for a moment and begun her loud tirade again. Luo Yan really didn’t want to be seen appearing together with Xue Wu—what would people think?

But Xue Wu wasn’t as conflicted. She opened the door directly. Wang Huina and the male Alphas she had brought to ram the door appeared fully before them.

“You…” Wang Huina’s insults caught in her throat. She hadn’t expected to see the Luo family’s playboy with her own artist. Recalling that the trending topics for the past two days were all about Xue Wu and Luo Yan, she became even more furious: “What are you two ‘Dog AO’ doing?!”

Luo Yan didn’t want to hear any more of Wang Huina’s filth. She released her pheromones to intimidate her, even suppressing the Alphas behind her. The original owner’s rank was far from “low-tier”; with this one move, Wang Huina nearly collapsed to the floor in pain.

The male Alphas behind her also showed expressions of agony, completely stripped of any ability to resist.

“Get out!” Luo Yan didn’t want to waste words and ordered them to leave.

Wang Huina, unwilling to give in, looked up at Luo Yan, gritting her teeth as she forced out each word: “Why are you here?”

“You want to go completely mute, don’t you?” The pheromones wrapped around her neck tightened a bit more, as if they were about to snap it.

Wang Huina was nearly strangled until her eyes bulged, her breathing difficult. She stared at Luo Yan but couldn’t utter a single word.

Luo Yan wasn’t going to pity her just because she was an Omega. In the book, the big villain was plagued by scandals largely because of her; if she had been more responsible, the villain might not have blackened so thoroughly.

Right now, the more she made Wang Huina suffer, the more she could gain Xue Wu’s favor—or at least ensure her own survival later.

So, she showed almost no mercy.

Xue Wu didn’t stop Luo Yan either. It felt quite good to have someone stand up for her. She simply said to Wang Huina, “Sister Wang, do you remember what I said about terminating the contract? Are you going to give me an answer now?”

Luo Yan timely released some pheromone pressure so Wang Huina could answer. At this point, the manager was truly terrified. Looking at Luo Yan with pure fear, she didn’t dare act tough anymore and blurted out: “The contract… I’ve prepared it. You just need to find time to come to the office and sign.”

“No traps waiting for me, I hope?” Xue Wu nodded and asked gently.

“No, no, no! Definitely not! How could I set a trap for you? I wouldn’t dare.”

“Alright then, you may go. I’ll find time to sign at the office.” Xue Wu spoke directly, wasting no time.

“Wait—” Luo Yan called out, not fully releasing her pheromones. She looked at the cracks that had appeared on Xue Wu’s door and walls. She used her pheromones to lift Wang Huina into the air: “Sister Wang, is it? Do you see clearly now? You’re the ones who disturbed our sleep early in the morning, and you’re the ones who damaged a private residence. Shouldn’t you pay back 20 times the original price?”

“20 times? Don’t you go—ugh—”

The unfinished sentence was drowned in a pained gasp. Luo Yan gave her a casual look. “Sister Wang, you should think carefully before you speak. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind giving you another lesson.”

Then she turned to Xue Wu: “Ah Wu, is 20 times enough? Or should we call the police?”

“Don’t call the police! Don’t call the police! 20 times isn’t much! It’s very little!”

“Hmm, since that’s the case…” Luo Yan gave her a beaming smile, but to Wang Huina, she looked like a terrifying demon. “Maybe paying back 50 times would better reflect your sincerity, right?”

“Pfft—”

Xue Wu laughed beside her, while Wang Huina’s face turned the color of ash. She couldn’t argue a single word.

…

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Huina finally led those male Alphas away in disgrace, likely cursing Luo Yan’s mother in her heart.

Luo Yan checked the time and confirmed Xue Wu was safe. She felt she could leave now, but before going, she asked one more thing: “Miss Xue, will there be any repercussions from what I did today?”

“What? One moment you’re calling me ‘Ah Wu,’ and the next, as soon as people leave, you’re ‘pulling up your pants and acting like we’re strangers’?”

…What kind of ‘pulling up pants’ logic was that? Luo Yan was puzzled, thinking the big villain was truly moody. “I just called you that in a moment of urgency. I didn’t notice, sorry.”

“The time before last, you took advantage of me by calling me ‘Teacher Xue’ in a moment of urgency. Last time, you called me ‘Sister’ on the phone and I didn’t mind. Now you’ve called me ‘Ah Wu’—shouldn’t I ask you to take some responsibility?” Xue Wu looked at her with a half-smile, making Luo Yan not dare to meet her gaze. She only felt the gland on her neck throbbing.

“Why are you quiet? Don’t want to take responsibility?”

“…Then how does Miss Xue want me to take responsibility?”

“What do you think?”

It seemed the initiative was back in her hands. Luo Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, realizing she was being teased again. She gathered her courage, looked up, took a deep breath, and shouted without stopping: “Ah Wu! Ah Wu! Ah Wu! Ah Wu! Ah Wu! Ah Wu! Ah Wu! Ah Wu! Ah Wu! Ah Wu!”

“…Is that enough?” Surely calling her name a few more times will stop her from being angry.

Xue Wu stood before her, startled by the loud repetitions of her nickname. Then, she burst out laughing. Her feline eyes were misty with water, curving like crescent moons—bright and clear as lake water. It was impossible to look away.

Luo Yan looked at the smile so close to her and was momentarily dazed.

Xue Wu seemed to realize she had lost her composure. She cleared her throat and reached out to brush Luo Yan’s long eyelashes; the contact made her own palm feel itchy. “Snap out of it—little sister.” Her voice was full of teasing, causing Luo Yan to immediately lower her head, her face turning bright red.

“Miss… Miss Xue, if Wang Huina gives you trouble later, remember to find me.” To hide her embarrassment, she said this before leaving.

“Since you know she’s troublesome, why did you treat her that way?” She had thought the girl would use a more roundabout method; she hadn’t expected her to be so direct, not deigning to play games. It was a surprise.

“Ahem, I didn’t actually want to, but she was saying such horrible things. I wouldn’t have felt right if I hadn’t used the most direct method to deal with her.”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. She can’t do anything to me.”

Wang Huina was one of the people she intended to deal with. If the woman dared to provoke her again, she’d make sure she didn’t see tomorrow’s sun.

But the feeling of being cared for by the little Alpha was actually quite nice. She quite liked it.

“Then… in that case… I’ll be going.” Luo Yan said no more and bid her farewell, feeling that leaving the big villain’s house was truly too difficult.

How long had it been? And how many times had she faced social death!

Xue Wu didn’t say goodbye, but she stood at the door waiting for her to leave. That feeling of being valued and missed was quite heartwarming.

However, as Luo Yan brushed past her, the big villain suddenly reached out and pinched her earlobe which was peeking out from her hair. She said with feigned surprise: “Oh, Student Luo Yan, your earlobe is red. You wouldn’t happen to be sick, would you…”

Luo Yan was startled. The thought that the big villain was “heartwarming” was immediately retracted. She just liked to toy with her…

But she couldn’t deny that after getting into the car, a warm current—something like a sweet feeling—rose in her heart. She immediately shook her head vigorously. Don’t think you’re worthy of the big villain! You’ll die without even knowing why! Besides, the big villain is just teasing you like a pet right now. Don’t get involved in everything.

After repeatedly warning herself to wave away that strange feeling, Luo Yan finally calmed down and stopped thinking about it.

…

Days continued to pass peacefully. She didn’t run into the big villain much.

Mainly, Luo Yan was very busy with company matters and her studies, leaving her no time to think about anything else.

Today was the final deadline for the National Undergraduate Jewelry Design Competition. After double-checking that everything was correct, she submitted all the materials and let out a sigh of relief.

But before she could figure out what to do next, her sister Luo Xi called. “Yanyan, still busy?”

“Just finished. Do you need me for something?”

“Not exactly. Dad asked me to have you come over for a meal. Today is a family dinner day, after all.”

The Luo family had a tradition of having a monthly dinner at a high-end hotel or club. When Luo Yan first arrived, she thought it was a bit restrictive, but it was a tradition, so she agreed: “Okay, I’ll be there soon.”

“Hurry up. Sister has a surprise for you today.”

“Okay.”

Luo Yan hung up, changed her clothes, put on light makeup, and headed out.

As she left, she inexplicably opened the big villain’s social feed, wanting to see her status.

However, there were no updates. It seemed she didn’t like updating her feed; looking was pointless.

She opened Weibo instead and saw that she was still plagued by scandals, but this time it was with a different person—not Director Ruan Zhao, but another minor actress.

This minor actress was also a female Alpha, claiming she had gotten Xue Wu pregnant and that the child in her belly was hers.

Luo Yan: ??? She couldn’t have misread that, right? These days, any random person dared to clout-chase the big villain?

She thought for a moment, shared the news with the big villain with a question mark, and then focused on driving to the restaurant.

When she arrived, the big villain still hadn’t replied. Luo Yan felt somewhat worried.

She hadn’t been in contact with her lately, though she occasionally followed her news; there hadn’t been so much mess. But this time… it seemed like a big deal.

Since she hadn’t come out to clarify for so long—could she really be pregnant?

She reached the restaurant and saw her stepmother and stepsister were there. Luo Xi had arrived early too. Luo De-bai hadn’t arrived yet. Luo Yan didn’t care and wanted to sit next to her sister, but Luo Xi asked her to sit in a different spot.

Luo Yan looked at her suspiciously, but her sister just smiled and said: “A surprise. You’ll know in a bit.”

Luo Yan: “…” Suddenly I’m very worried.
