Chapter 34.1

The person Luo Yan saw on the road was none other than her half-sister, Luo Qing.

Seeing Luo Qing at this particular time was somewhat unexpected. Luo Qing is a year older than her, twenty-two years old this year, nearing university graduation. However, she is studying Business Finance—clearly intending to enter the family business to claim a share of the pie.

Luo Yan remained non-committal about this. In the book, Luo Qing eventually became good friends with the female lead, providing her with many top-tier luxury jewels. It was a classic case of “making the wedding dress for another”—she didn’t make a cent for the company she managed and frequently required her sister, Luo Xi, to clean up her messes. Thinking about it made Luo Yan feel disgusted.

The original owner’s father, Luo Debai, never believed Luo Qing had a talent for business. He originally wanted her to pursue an artistic path, perhaps sending her abroad, so she could at least marry into a good family upon her return. However, Luo Qing was unwilling, feeling that if a “trash” Alpha like Luo Yan could manage a company for practice, why couldn’t she?

After a long period of wheedling and pestering, she finally obtained a company. Like the one Luo Yan managed, it was a design firm, but it focused on fashion design—a different field from Luo Yan’s.

Yet Luo Qing was still determined to run the company well, purely to prove a point for herself and her mother.

Luo Yan didn’t find her ambition or goals strange, but in the book, the author described her methods as… joining forces with the Luo family’s competitors to deal with her own family. She always felt it was… too stupid. It was essentially sacrificing a thousand of your own to kill a hundred of the enemy; it was truly incomprehensible.

And now, if she wasn’t mistaken, after Luo Qing got out of the car, she was with the Alpha son of the Yang family—the Luo family’s long-time rival. This Yang family Alpha usually appeared harmless, but when he truly went mad, no one could stop him. Had Luo Qing actually been foolish enough to involve herself with him?

Moreover… that wasn’t all. The Yang family Alpha was acting like a lecherous ghost, repeatedly leaning toward the gland on the back of Luo Qing’s neck. Each time, his sharp canines seemed poised to emerge, just a hair’s breadth away from biting her gland and marking her. Yet Luo Qing offered no resistance; in fact, she seemed to be playing hard to get. Watching it… it felt shameless and lacking in self-respect.

It was broad daylight—the sun hadn’t even set—and they were right on the street. How improper!

“Second Miss… why is Miss Luo Qing appearing with someone from the ​bailiantales.com​Yang family?” Zhao Xin was also shocked by the scene, never expecting Luo Qing to be so suicidal.

“Shh—don’t talk yet.” Luo Yan wasn’t surprised, but asked: “Did you film what just happened?”

“I… I did.” Zhao Xin hadn’t expected her boss to be so calm, even appearing to enjoy the show. She was momentarily even more shocked.

“Good. Later, have someone look into the dealings between Luo Qing and that Yang family son.” Luo Yan said no more. After giving Zhao Xin the instruction, she told the driver to drive away quickly.

As they left, she muttered under her breath: “I can’t let my Sister A-Wu go hungry because of Luo Qing.”

Zhao Xin: “…” This is too… isn’t the matter with Luo Qing more important?! That’s the Yang family! The Yang family that has tripped up our Luo family countless times! She originally thought Luo Yan would stay a while to see what was going on with Luo Qing, but she left immediately—the whole thing took less than five minutes… it truly shocked her. Miss Luo Qing’s life was apparently that worthless.

Zhao Xin was momentarily speechless. She thought the Second Miss had changed and become reliable, but she didn’t expect her to be even more absurd than before.

Returning to the hospital forty minutes later, Luo Yan was naturally worried about Xue Wu. Although there was a slight knot in her heart, Xue Wu’s words were understandable. Plus, successfully resolving the matter with that Omega today made her feel a bit proud; she felt she needed to work harder to be worthy of the big villain.

“Sister A-Wu, I’m back!” Luo Yan decided to ignore the slight awkwardness in her heart, entering with several bags of takeout. Her eyes and brows were filled with smiles, which suppressed her intentionally mature aura and revealed the traits of an Alpha her age. It made it hard to look away.

“If you didn’t come back soon, I’d have to gnaw on tree bark.” Xue Wu laughed, teasing her with a smile, showing no sign of her inner thoughts.

“Ahem, tree bark is hard to gnaw. You can gnaw on my hand instead,” Luo Yan replied immediately.

The other assistants present, hearing them flaunting their affection so naturally [stolen content]and without regard for others, really didn’t know whether to “ship” them or not.

However… Chen Jia had truly never seen her boss this relaxed and soft. Her boss usually didn’t act like an Omega at all; few would object if she were called an Alpha.

Yet, in front of Luo Yan, she always appeared relaxed and unguarded. Not only that, the coquettishness and tenderness unique to an Omega inadvertently surfaced. Such a Xue Wu was undoubtedly even more dazzling.

She just didn’t know… how much of this relaxation and softness was an act and how much was fake. After all, her pheromones had almost gone into disorder earlier that afternoon.

Perhaps she should be honest with Luo Yan instead of keeping everything inside.

“Sister A-Wu, I bought you some from Mian Zhou Ji. I hope you like it.” Luo Yan felt she had neglected her Omega. After entering, she couldn’t wait to bring the items out like a cat presenting its catch, placing them before her to choose.

Watching her, Xue Wu was somehow reminded of a well-behaved cat begging for pets. At this moment, she didn’t want to think about those troublesome matters. She reached out to cup her face and unhesitatingly pressed a kiss to her lips. “Yanyan is so capable; these are all my favorites.”

“Ahem—Sister A-Wu, people are watching. Don’t be too… too…”

“Too what?”

“Too cute, hahaha.” Luo Yan couldn’t help but laugh as she spoke.

Xue Wu seemed amused as well, tapping her forehead: “Silly.”

“Hmm, only silly in front of Sister A-Wu.” ​Read on BaiLianTales​Luo Yan touched the spot where she had been tapped, her heart feeling soft. When the big villain isn’t going mad, she’s actually quite nice—she liked her very much.

When she snapped out of it, she noticed the two assistants were gone, likely having stepped out. She didn’t care about anyone else; she liked being alone with Xue Wu.

“Yanyan, your performance this afternoon truly stunned me. I didn’t know you had such a side.” Xue Wu spoke as she ate the congee, hiding her suspicions and dissatisfaction.

Luo Yan heard a different meaning in her words and couldn’t be sure if she knew about the Omega incident. She tentatively asked: “Sister A-Wu, when did you start watching my live stream?”

“I actually watched it on and off. I didn’t watch it continuously because when you were at the venue for confirmation, I needed to rest. So I watched for a while and slept for a while; I didn’t see much.” Xue Wu couldn’t help but blink as she spoke: “Why? Was there something I shouldn’t see?”

“…No, everything is viewable.” Luo Yan felt increasingly guilty as she spoke. She wasn’t sure if it was because of her nerves, but her abdominal wound seemed to throb with pain. However, seeing Xue Wu’s reaction and behavior, she guessed the big villain probably hadn’t seen the moment the Omega suddenly appeared.

Otherwise… her tone and attitude wouldn’t be like this.

Good, good. She happened to not want her to know anyway. She would settle such a disgusting matter for her alone; she only needed to receive flowers and blessings and ignore everything else.

Luo Yan felt a bit more relaxed, but she still felt heartache for Xue Wu. How angry and helpless must she have been in the book when she faced this? She was used by countless people, and by the time she found the culprit, it was too late. Countless people laughed at her, her career plummeted, and directors even sent her low-class, trashy scripts. It made her nearly depressed, and her path toward blackening became even more intense. Thinking about it made her heart ache.

So, after thinking it over, she said to her: “Sister A-Wu, can you hold out your hand for a moment?”

Xue Wu didn’t know what she meant and gave her a suspicious look, but she complied: “What for?”

Luo Yan didn’t answer. Instead, she solemnly took a uniquely designed velvet box from her backpack and placed it in her hand: “An apology.” And a debt from before.

Xue Wu looked at her suspiciously, opened the box, and saw the ring inside. She was surprised: “This is…?”

“It’s from the same series as ‘Undusted.’ Do you like it?” Luo Yan looked at her expectantly, seemingly wanting her approval.

Before her amnesia, she had taken a fancy to her pinky ring while filming at her school, but she hadn’t given it to her. Now she was making up for it. It was her own design, unrelated to the original owner. She thought she would like it.

“Yanyan, are you trying to propose to me?” Xue Wu said leisurely, nearly making Luo Yan choke on her own saliva.

She never expected Xue Wu to say such a thing and immediately denied it: “No, I just wanted to give you beautiful jewelry. And… it’s a pinky ring! A pinky ring!” No one proposes with a pinky ring!

“Sigh… it’s not?” Xue Wu was a bit disappointed as she examined the ring. The design was identical to the bracelet, clearly the work of the same person, but even more delicate than the gold bracelet—after all, she had actually used filigree inlay on it. It was astonishing.

How skilled must Luo Yan’s hands be to achieve this? Was this the uneducated playboy others spoke of?

“Does Sister A-Wu not like it…?” Luo Yan saw her examining the ring for a long time without making any move to put it on. She felt she must not like it, which was a bit different from what she had imagined.

“It’s not that.” Xue Wu couldn’t help but look up at her: “Were the things you said at the preliminary round today all true?”

“Which things does Sister A-Wu mean?”

“…” So there was some exaggeration involved?

“The part about designing and making it yourself.”

“That’s naturally true.” Luo Yan spoke, then acted aggrieved again: “Does even Sister A-Wu not believe me? That makes me so sad.”

“Your acting is good, but you can’t fool me.”

Xue Wu laughed again at her “pitiable puppy” look and took her hand to check. Sure enough, she saw some tiny wounds on it that were startling to see.

Not only that, she saw some fresh scratches with slightly dried blood, appearing to be new injuries, which surprised her.

She knew her little Alpha had always lived in luxury, yet now her hands were covered in scars. It was impossible not to be moved.

“Your hands… why are you injured here? When did this happen?” As she spoke, she ran her fingertip over the wound, asking with a frown.

Luo Yan looked where she was pointing and realized her fingers also had scratches from the struggle with that Omega. The wounds were fresh and distinct; no wonder she asked.

“It’s fine, just a small injury.” Luo Yan changed the subject, focusing back on the previous topic, “Does Sister A-Wu believe me now?”

Luo Yan didn’t really mind her doubting what she said about the design concept at the competition. After all, the original owner had such an image; it was understandable for the big villain to doubt her.

“I believe you.” Xue Wu didn’t say more. She just compassionately pulled her hand into her own palm to warm it, making Luo Yan’s heart feel a bit soft.

She didn’t think it was much; she had lived this way before transmigrating. Calling her merely a jewelry designer wouldn’t be entirely correct—she was nearly obsessive about jewelry design, otherwise she wouldn’t have died in an accident while inspecting a mine.

But in the past, no one had noticed these things. Now, having someone notice and feel such heartache for her… to be honest, Luo Yan’s mood was very subtle.

After all, everyone wants their lover to notice them. Not to mention being injured while dealing with that Omega this afternoon—at this moment, she felt it was worth it.

“Then can Sister A-Wu wear this ring now?” Luo Yan held her hand and asked with a smile.

“You said you were hiding something at the competition. What was it?”

“It’s just… actually, this ring was my original entry for the competition. But later I was reluctant to give it up, so I redesigned the gold bracelet instead.”

“…” This… Xue Wu was momentarily unsure how to respond. Is this what you call a genius? Most importantly, she had completed both designs so perfectly, with such a high degree of compatibility.

“Ahem, actually, this ring has a mechanism,” Luo Yan said, a bit embarrassed as she held the ring up for her to see: “It can store my pheromones. If Sister A-Wu encounters any accident and I can’t appear in time, you can use the pheromones here to alleviate it. At the same time, I’ll be able to know your situation immediately.”

Xue Wu was truly surprised after she finished, never expecting she would go to such lengths for her: “So this design was planned from the start?”

“Yeah… I guess you could say that.” Luo Yan looked at her nervously: “Does Sister A-Wu not like it?”

“Why wouldn’t I like it?” Xue Wu asked back. She suddenly pulled her close, her slender fingertip touching her lips. Her eyes were alluring and her words seductive, as if she had [bailiantales.com]turned into the blackened big villain from the book again: “Yanyan, do you want to mark me?”

“Yanyan, do you want to mark me?”

As the big villain slowly spoke those words, Luo Yan felt her heart hammer unfaithfully. She moved closer almost uncontrollably, wanting to deeply inhale the scent of her pheromones.

Strangely, the original owner suffered from a pheromone allergy, yet she wasn’t allergic to the big villain’s pheromones at all—in fact, she couldn’t resist them. Consequently, she was currently unable to resist her deliberate seduction.

Her lips moved toward the gland almost involuntarily. Waves of the big villain’s sweet fragrance hit her, making it impossible to avoid.

How could she describe this feeling? The big villain’s pheromones didn’t have a concrete scent; they could only be described with abstract terms like sweet and fresh. But every time she smelled them, she felt her body become wonderful and she liked it immensely.

It was impossible to lie about.

Now she felt she liked it too much, nearly becoming obsessed and unable to pull herself away.

It was truly an exquisite sensation. she couldn’t resist and could only act according to instinct.

Her canines felt an involuntary itch and craving. Countless hidden thoughts grew and were magnified in her heart, driving her to act, as if regardless of everything—

However, as her canines emerged and were about to pierce the gland, she saw the tooth marks on it that hadn’t faded yet. Those were the marks she made while she was in a coma.

At that time, the big villain had actually entered her heat while unconscious. She had been forced to mark her, thinking bailiantales.comshe would take responsibility after she woke up. And now… she had naturally kept that promise.

But now, the big villain showed no sign of entering her heat. Simply marking her based on greedy instinct and her indulgence was improper; it might cause trouble.

She immediately stopped her movement, instead pressing a restrained kiss to the gland. Then, unable to hold back, she buried herself in the crook of her neck, breathing slowly to calm her inner agitation.

Xue Wu naturally felt her struggle. Her pheromones swirled around her, her voice still seductive: “Don’t you want to mark me?”

“Sister A-Wu… don’t be like this…” Luo Yan sighed, pulling away from her embrace and speaking very solemnly: “You can’t be marked casually without a special situation.”

“Can you hold back?” Xue Wu laughed, her slender hand touching her cheek again. She laughed like a siren—a dangerous figure who could kill you at any moment.

“Didn’t I just hold back?” Luo Yan held her hand and spoke very seriously: “I’m being serious. You don’t need to do this for me.”

“Do you really not have those worldly desires?”

Xue Wu was simply in disbelief. She recalled her previous life, where countless Alphas flocked to her pheromones. She also suffered from pheromone disorder; once her heat approached, being slightly seduced by another Alpha would cause her to lose all reason and let them do as they pleased. So she understood the craving of an Alpha for such a creature very well.
