After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 23.1
At this moment, Luo Yan’s head was spinning; she simply couldn’t gauge the extent to which Xue Wu’s memory was scrambled. It was one thing to confuse their relationship, but how did a pregnancy get pulled into this? Could she really be pregnant?
No—that’s absolutely impossible.
Luo Yan dismissed her own conjecture almost instantly. If the big villain were truly pregnant, it would mean she had been completely marked; she would instinctively resist any other Alpha’s pheromones. This was an absolute rule. Yet, Luo Yan had just marked her not long ago—even if it was only a temporary mark via a bite to the neck, the exchange of pheromones between them was real.
Her pheromones hadn’t encountered any rejection; furthermore, Xue Wu’s gland was intact, showing no signs of having been bitten before. Luo Yan was the first person to mark her.
This was sufficient proof that Xue Wu was not pregnant; it was all a rumor, a falsehood.
However, she didn’t feel happy about discovering it was a lie; on the contrary, she grew increasingly worried.
So, has the big villain’s memory truly reached this state of disorder? Not only did she misidentify Luo Yan, but she also thought she had been completely marked by someone else and was pregnant? This reason… just thinking about it made it hard to accept.
“Miss Xue, you are not pregnant. Don’t talk nonsense.” Luo Yan’s tone was very serious. She could accept other jokes from the big villain, but not this one. She wouldn’t let her speak recklessly about it again.
Xue Wu was clearly startled by her. She stared blankly, motionless, and Luo Yan had no idea what she was thinking.
Seeing her like this, Luo Yan also felt a bit flustered. She worried her tone had been too harsh for Xue Wu to adjust to. After all, her previous image in front of the big villain was that of someone as timid as a chick—though she wasn’t faring much better now.
“Miss Xue… you…”
“Don’t call me ‘Miss Xue.’ I know, you’ve truly given up on me. Even if I’m carrying someone else’s child… you don’t care. You only care about your White Moonlight. No matter what feelings we had before, even with an engagement, you can still abandon me to chase that White Moonlight who doesn’t love you at all…”
“I know, you’re just using me as a substitute… Calling me ‘Miss Xue’ or whatever just means you’re going to leave me… If that’s the case, why did you come here to stay by my side?!”
Her eyes were red, and she watched her almost accusingly, leaving Luo Yan with no idea how to respond. But these things had to be clarified; she couldn’t let the misunderstanding continue.
So she steeled herself and said: “…Miss Xue, you and I are really…”
“If you say that again… If you call me Miss Xue again, I’m going to kiss you.”
“…”
Hearing this, Luo Yan immediately dared not speak another word. She sat as timid as a quail, her words caught in her throat. Help! Someone save her!
Luo Yan swallowed hard, telling herself to stay calm. She absolutely could not let the big villain throw her off rhythm.
What she wanted to know most now were two things: one, the truth of the car accident; and two, whether her memory was truly disordered. She had to know both clearly and couldn’t let them be brushed aside.
“Ahem, that… perhaps you could tell me the truth about the car accident…” Luo Yan didn’t dare call her “Miss Xue” anymore, nor did she dare mention their relationship on her own, fearing she would be triggered again.
However, she didn’t receive an answer immediately. Instead, she felt a subtle touch on her hand. Someone had grasped it and was observing it closely. That feeling of tenderness became increasingly obvious; she could almost feel the sweet breath falling on the back of her hand.
Luo Yan immediately looked down and saw that the big villain had taken her hand to compare it with her own. She looked exceptionally happy doing so, yet there was a hint of distress.
Since waking up, she didn’t seem to care about the truth of the accident. She was troubled by love and showed affection for the things Luo Yan had endured.
…This kind of big villain was very “un-big-villain.” Luo Yan was extremely unaccustomed to it.
Luo Yan saw the other’s palm pressed tightly against her own. Her tone was somewhat amazed: “Yanyan, look! Your hand is much bigger than mine, and it seems a lot rougher. Have you been very busy lately? So much to do? But no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your hands… I won’t like it if they’re too rough…”
As she spoke, she turned her head toward her in confusion and couldn’t help but reach out to touch her face: “You look like you’ve lost weight, too. It must have been hard for you to take care of me lately…”
Luo Yan: “…”
She felt herself go completely numb. Her nose was filled with the sweet scent the other continued to radiate, and the woman’s words were playful, gentle, full of trust, and tinged with pity… This big villain was almost the exact opposite of before, having shed her sharp edges and thorns. How was anyone supposed to withstand this!
Ahhh, I can’t take it! What did I do wrong to be tortured like this!
Luo Yan was desperately suppressing herself. She knew she was an Alpha with strong possessive instincts, and having gone through a temporary mark, it was hard enough to stay in control. Yet here the woman was, provoking her. Did she really think Luo Yan had no temper?
She had no idea how to face Xue Wu now. Everything felt like an ordeal. When the woman was in a coma after the accident, it was an ordeal enough, but now it was even worse. It truly tested her bottom line and patience.
“Xue… I think we really need to be apart for a bit to clear our heads. Our relationship really isn’t what you think it is.” Luo Yan maintained her last shred of reason, using all her strength to hold Xue Wu’s shoulders to prevent her from getting too close. Her self-control wasn’t as great as she imagined; if the woman challenged her endurance again and again, she would truly cross the line.
“So, I asked you to change the way you address me, and you didn’t. And now you want to lie to me, saying we don’t have that kind of relationship. Then what kind of relationship is it?”
“…” Faced with her questioning, Luo Yan truly had grievances she couldn’t voice. She looked at the peach-blossom-like face so close to her and remembered she had marked her not long ago. She recalled that in the ABO world, Omegas have a dependency period after being marked; she wondered if the big villain was experiencing that.
Moreover, Xue Wu’s situation upon waking was completely different from what she expected. She had planned to clearly explain the marking incident once the big villain woke up and then see how the woman wanted her to take responsibility. But now that she was awake, everything was in disarray, and she had no idea what to do.
Things seemed to have deviated significantly with her awakening and her memory disorder.
Even though she had lived two lives and handled many emergencies, she couldn’t react quickly at this moment.
She could only collapse in weakness, letting a sense of loss take control.
Xue Wu sat on the bed and stared at her for a long time, as if wanting to say something. But it seemed this awakening had exhausted too much of her strength. She parted her lips to speak but seemed to forget, and finally, under the influence of medication, she became drowsy, lacking the energy to talk further.
She fell back asleep, her expression peaceful and free of pain.
However, even in sleep, she still gripped Luo Yan’s hand and refused to let go, showing a state of complete dependency that made Luo Yan’s heart feel both sour and sweet.
At this moment, she could no longer lie to herself: she had truly fallen for the big villain. As for when exactly it happened, she had forgotten. She only knew that if anyone dared to bully her, she would make sure they met a miserable end.
Now, the big villain had amnesia and took her for her girlfriend. She should have been happy, but she truly couldn’t be.
All her plans had been disrupted. She didn’t know how the big villain felt about her before the accident, but her intuition told her the woman didn’t like her—at most, she didn’t dislike her, treating her as a replaceable toy for amusement, similar to a puppy or kitten.
In that case, they shouldn’t be entangled like this. Furthermore, she was somewhat afraid of what the woman might do to her once her memory returned.
After all, Xue Wu was the greatest villain in the book!
When Chen Jia entered, she happened to see Luo Yan and Xue Wu with their fingers locked together so tightly they couldn’t be pried apart. She found it very novel and couldn’t help but look at them a few more times.
This made Luo Yan feel very uncomfortable, and trying to pry Xue Wu’s fingers loose became even harder.
“Miss Luo… I have something to tell you later.” Chen Jia watched for a while and felt it wasn’t good to stay, so she spoke to her and then went outside to wait for Luo Yan.
Luo Yan nearly wept. Seeing that their clasped hands wouldn’t loosen but instead tightened, she felt helpless. She could only lean down close to the sleeping Omega and coax her softly: “I’m just going outside for a moment, I’m not leaving. Can you let go of me?”
There was no reaction.
“Then… if I kiss you once, will you let go?” The hand holding hers seemed to hesitate. Luo Yan sensed it and said immediately: “If you don’t speak, I’ll take that as a ‘yes’.”
The sleeping Xue Wu: “…”
Luo Yan smiled—the only sincere, heartfelt smile she’d had in days. She indeed planted a kiss on the woman’s forehead, and when she pulled her hand back this time, it was much easier.
“Good girl,” she couldn’t help but whisper. She then saw Xue Wu purse her lips slightly, looking quite proud of herself.
“Miss Luo, how is… my boss? Did she take you for her girlfriend?”
