After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 3
After meeting the Omega’s sudden gaze from the hospital bed, Luo Yan involuntarily shivered. The tragic end of the original owner in the book had left a deep impression on her; once the big villain “blackened,” she wouldn’t even let a dog go that had once offended her—she’d find a way to kill it.
Not to mention the things the original owner had done to her in the story. Honestly, the villain killing her only once in the original plot was practically an act of mercy.
Therefore, the moment she locked eyes with the villain, she made a decision that defied all ancestral traditions: Escape is the best policy! Ignoring the astonished look of her assistant, Zhao Xin, she turned and bolted!
“Second Miss, are you really passing up such a great opportunity to build a relationship with Miss Xue?” Zhao Xin called out. At least say hello before leaving! She found her boss increasingly incomprehensible.
Luo Yan: “…” I’ll give this “great” opportunity to you, you want it? If she stayed a second longer and the villain discovered she had almost marked her last night and had bruised her thigh by mistake, she might actually die on the spot!
However, after walking a few paces, Luo Yan saw a female Beta in a nurse’s uniform brushing past her, carrying something. A bad premonition hit her. She looked back and saw the woman heading straight for the villain’s room. Her nerves tightened.
She tried to comfort herself. The person is wearing a nurse uniform, and this is a reputable private hospital. How could an outsider sneak in? She must be overthinking. She should just leave in peace.
The “nurse” glanced back at Luo Yan’s departing figure with an unreadable expression. Ignoring her, she carried the tray inside. After asking Xue Wu a few routine questions, she pulled out a pheromone suppressant, intending to inject it.
Xue Wu sat on the bed, pale and visibly weak. She didn’t suspect the nurse at all. Her mind was occupied with that little Alpha—who was she, and why was she so terrified of her?
“Miss Xue, I’m going to inject the suppressant now. It might sting, so please bear with it.”
The nurse gave a kind reminder. Everything seemed normal. Xue Wu nodded absentmindedly, missing the predatory glint that flashed in the woman’s eyes.
Just as the needle was about to pierce her arm, someone suddenly shouted frantically from outside the room: “Don’t let her inject you! She’s a fake nurse!”
Hearing this, Xue Wu watched as the little Alpha—who had just left—came running back in a panic. She calmly withdrew the hand she had been readying to strike the nurse with and looked at the intruder with a weak, puzzled expression.
Luo Yan didn’t care about anything else. She had the security guards subdue the nurse first, then rushed to Xue Wu’s side, checking her over anxiously. “Are you okay?”
“Who exactly are you? And what does it matter to you if I’m okay?” Xue Wu didn’t answer directly, but countered with a question.
Luo Yan choked on her words. Realizing she was meddling again, she braced herself and said: “My name is Luo Yan. I’m a junior at Li University, majoring in Jewelry Design with a minor in Manufacturing. Last night I just happened to pass by and saw you being… so I lent a hand. I… I’m not a bad person.”
Hearing her report her background like a census taker, Xue Wu found it slightly amusing. She reached out a slender, pale finger and tapped Luo Yan’s shoulder, suddenly pulling her close until their breaths mingled. “There were so many people in trouble at the club that you didn’t save, yet you saved me. Why? Did you take an interest in me and want to mark me?”
“If so, come. I’m right here. You can mark me.”
Luo Yan looked at the face inches away—beautiful as a peach blossom yet pale and weak—and felt a massive impact. Combined with the faint, lingering sweet scent of the villain’s pheromones, it was incredibly seductive.
She swallowed unhelpfully, recalling what would have happened if she had actually bitten down in the car last night… but then she caught the sharp, hidden edge in the villain’s eyes. She snapped awake. She felt like the hand casually resting on her shoulder could turn into a claw and slit her throat at any moment. She jerked upright and retreated, wishing she could be 800 miles away. She began to stutter: “S-since you’re fine now, I’ll be going. Drink more hot water and… don’t get angry so much.”
With that, she practically sprinted out of the ward, not daring to look back once.
Xue Wu watched her flee in a near-panic. She thought the little Alpha was a real oddity; she definitely needed to look into this person. But just as that thought formed, the little Alpha returned again. She didn’t dare enter the room; she just poked her head cautiously through the doorway and warned her at high speed: “That fake nurse was likely sent by the Alpha from last night. Be careful!”
Then, she truly vanished like a puff of smoke.
Xue Wu was stunned for a moment. Somehow, the image of a “peeking cat” meme popped into her head, and she couldn’t help but let out a laugh. Luo Yan, who hadn’t made it far, heard that unreadable laugh and stumbled, nearly tripping over her own feet.
Wuwu, the villain is too terrifying! I must protect my pitiful self!
Luo Yan finally arrived home at 8:00 AM. The whole family was gathered in the dining room for breakfast.
Father Luo was very strict with her. Seeing her return looking haggard, and remembering that his daughter had stayed out all night again, he lost his appetite. He slammed his teacup onto the table and snorted, “Luo Yan, where were you fooling around last night? Is this house not big enough to hold you anymore?”
“Dad, ask Yanyan what happened before you scold her. Don’t get yourself upset so early in the morning.” The person speaking up for her was the original owner’s older sister, Luo Xi. She had pampered the original owner since childhood and was a total “sister-doting demon.”
However, Luo Xi’s end in the book was also tragic. Not only was she kicked out of the company by their stepmother and stepsister, but they also sabotaged her marriage, leaving her in a state where she couldn’t live yet couldn’t die. Even her gland was destroyed, stripping her of her pride as an A-rank Alpha.
“Dad, you don’t even need to ask to know where she was. She went to the ‘Tide’ club and apparently called several Omegas to accompany her. I sent my people to warn her not to play too hard, but she didn’t listen… she probably had too much ‘fun’ and only remembered the way home this morning.”
Before Father Luo could speak, the other female Alpha sitting opposite Luo Xi chimed in. From the memories, Luo Yan knew this was her stepsister, Luo Qing. “Stepsister” was actually being generous; her mother was a mistress who had moved in shortly after Luo Yan’s mother died of illness.
Father Luo had even forced Luo Yan to call the mistress “Mother” and the illegitimate daughter “Sister.” It was nauseating.
Now, Luo Qing was pretending to explain Luo Yan’s whereabouts while actually throwing her under the bus to blacken her reputation in front of their father.
Even her mistress mother chimed in from the side: “Qingqing, say less. What are you talking about? If you’re so capable, you should have brought your sister back instead of letting her stay out.”
“However, I believe Yanyan must have had something important to do, which is why she stayed overnight. Let’s not think of her that way.”
“She’s incompetent, skips school, and every company the family gives her loses money. What ‘important business’ could she have staying out all night?” Father Luo was clearly furious. He listed her past failures again, showing his disappointment.
Unfortunately, the original owner had already become a “dead pig unafraid of boiling water.” She had been utterly disappointed in Father Luo since he brought those two home. Nothing he said could move her anymore.
However, Luo Yan wasn’t going to destroy her family relationships like the original owner did. The original owner had turned rebellious and unreasonable, attacking everyone. She had even come to hate her biological sister, Luo Xi, because Luo Xi was forced to act friendly with the stepmother’s side to keep the peace.
Now that Luo Yan had taken over, if she wanted to live a long life, she couldn’t be that hostile. She needed to move her father toward a neutral stance so that the hypocritical mother-daughter duo wouldn’t get all the benefits.
“Dad, I did go to ‘Tide’ last night, but I left quickly. I went to the hospital and stayed there overnight. If you’re going to scold me even for being sick, then I have nothing to say.”
Luo Yan spoke calmly, but her stubborn yet slightly aggrieved eyes made the others feel a flicker of guilt.
“The hospital? What happened?” Luo Xi truly loved her sister. Hearing she was sick, she immediately stood up to check on her.
“Just a relapse of my old condition,” Luo Yan signaled for her sister not to worry. Then she turned to Luo Qing, her tone questioning: “Luo Qing, you said your person came to find me last night. I started feeling ill right after they left. Is it because you can’t stand me and wanted to set me up in front of Dad?”
“Sister… what are you saying?” Luo Qing looked incredulous and aggrieved. “How could I harm you?”
“I never said you would harm me, I just thought it was strange. Why are you so excited?” Luo Yan shrugged, playing the “innocent bystander” after lighting the fire. She looked at Father Luo, her tone steady: “Dad, I’m going up to rest. I have class later.”
The original owner was only 21 and a junior. Luo Yan didn’t want to just rot away; she wanted to survive and reclaim her old profession—jewelry research and design.
“Wait,” Father Luo called out awkwardly. “If you’re unwell, have Dr. Chen come take a look. Don’t go to school today; rest at home.”
“Dad, I’m fine now. It’s better if I go to class.”
Luo Yan was in a hurry to change her fate and start her new life. Even if her “character” was a bit out of sync with the original owner right now, she didn’t care. She had to adapt quickly.
Her studious attitude shocked everyone, especially Luo Qing, who felt a sudden sense of crisis.
Luo Yan didn’t care what they thought. She went upstairs to shower and rest. She had been a jewelry designer before transmigrating—her family owned mines, so she was passionate about gemstones. Even if the knowledge system here was slightly different, the fundamentals would be the same.
Just as she finished her shower, there was a knock on the door. Her sister Luo Xi’s voice came from outside: “Yanyan, can I come in?”
“Yanyan”… a very intimate nickname. As an only child in her previous life, Luo Yan hadn’t been called that often. It was clear Luo Xi truly loved her.
“Come in, Sister.”
The door opened and Luo Xi entered with breakfast. Seeing her sister looking tired but with bright, clear eyes, she felt something had changed.
Her sister had become rebellious after their mother died, especially because Luo Xi had tried to play both sides to survive. The original owner thought Luo Xi had betrayed her.
“Yanyan, are you hungry? Eat some breakfast before school.”
“I’m not hungry…”
Gurgle—
Luo Yan’s stomach betrayed her immediately, causing her some embarrassment.
“Not hungry, you say? Why be so polite with your sister?” Luo Xi sighed, her smile fading slightly. “Yanyan, do you still blame me?”
“I was immature before and didn’t realize what you were doing, Sister. But not anymore.” Luo Yan knew Luo Xi had only been friendly with the stepmother to “know the enemy.”
“Really?” Luo Xi was surprised. “Our Yanyan has really grown up.”
“Sister, you’re my only real family. We have to stick together from now on. I’ll study hard and manage the company well to make Dad proud. We’ll join forces and kick those two out!”
Only then could they truly change their fates.
“Good!” Luo Xi saw she wasn’t joking. “I only want you to be well.”
She seemed to remember something. “By the way, the Xue family seems interested in an alliance. They brought up the marriage between you and Miss Xue Wu again. Haven’t you always been very focused on her? Now’s your chance to get close to her.”
Luo Yan: “???” Wait, why is the original owner’s secret crush common knowledge to everyone except ME?! What is going on?!
“Don’t be shy. You’re 21; it’s normal to have someone you like. Especially someone as charming as Miss Xue. It’s no wonder you fell for her.” Luo Xi added, “But if you really want to be with her, you have to give up that bad habit of playing around with other Omegas.”
Luo Yan: “…” Cringe. Dying 300% on behalf of the original owner.
