Chapter 34.2
Just now, when she released her pheromones to seduce Luo Yan, she was able to snap back to her senses in time. She didn’t know if she should say her willpower was truly firm and strong.
It was truly impressive. And beyond her expectations. Perhaps because she treated her as a substitute and not the original… so she could hold back?
“How could I not have them?” Luo Yan leaned on her shoulder, taking her hand into her own to play with: “I forgot who said it, but to love someone is to surely want physical intimacy with them. I’m no saint; I definitely want to be close to Sister A-Wu.”
“But! That also has to be done without hurting you. Otherwise, how am I any different from those trash Alphas?”
As she spoke, she was still unable to resist her obsession with her pheromones. she slowly cupped her face and kissed her way up from her collarbone, bit by bit. The light kisses weren’t obvious, yet they were incredibly tantalizing, making one wish she would kiss her firmly.
Wasn’t this also a form of seduction and revenge? It was just too gentle—truly unlike the methods an Alpha would use.
Luo Yan also released a trace of pheromones to swirl around Xue Wu. She kissed her lightly and, seeing she didn’t resist, continued to kiss her boldly until she reached the corner of her lips and stopped.
Their breaths were audible between them, both slightly unsteady. Luo Yan met her gaze, her other hand encircling her slender waist. Her body’s burning heat transferred to her. She lightly bit her lip and said: “Can you feel it? Sister A-Wu.”
She was speaking of her greed, her craving for her, all displayed before her without reservation, making it impossible to avoid.
The dominance was real, and the tenderness was also real. Xue Wu’s body went soft at some point, and she slumped into her arms with misty eyes, appearing ready to be taken.
Luo Yan almost didn’t dare look directly at the Omega in her arms at this moment. she felt her beauty was too intense, as if it had reached a point where it could harm people, making her somewhat nervous.
She didn’t want to do anything to her in the hospital; she just wanted her to recover. It was just… she had played too hard just now, and now she was the one suffering.
She really wanted to…
But it was her who finally broke the silence. Whether it was because she had been too busy today or there was just too much going on, her stomach suddenly gave a loud “growl.” In their ambiguous atmosphere, it was particularly jarring, and it completely amused Xue Wu.
“Yanyan, are you… a hungry lecherous ghost?”
Luo Yan: “…” She really wanted to find a hole to crawl into and never come out!
Finally, Luo Yan sat up straight with a red face and began to drink a bowl of congee, afraid her stomach would make another embarrassing sound.
Xue Wu remained calm, but her eyes were fixed on her without blinking, filled with laughter. Luo Yan finally had to say: “My dear A-Wu, stop laughing at me.”
“Next time… if you’re hungry, what should I do? Should I give you a piece of candy before we continue?”
“…” Although she spoke subtly, Luo Yan unexpectedly understood her meaning, and her face turned even redder. “How can Sister A-Wu say such things?”
“I don’t want to say them either, but I don’t want to starve my Alpha.” She teased her deliberately; one could see she was in a very good mood.
Luo Yan truly didn’t know how to respond to her words, and her gaze was darting around. She hadn’t expected the big villain to be such a person. Finally, feeling cornered, she blurted out: “When I’m really hungry then, I don’t need candy. I’ll just eat your pheromones… that’ll definitely be fine.”
This time it was Xue Wu’s turn to look at her in surprise. She hadn’t expected Luo Yan to say such a thing and didn’t know how to respond for a moment. What she had just said was no different from acting like a rogue. If anyone else dared to say such things to her, she would surely be the first to not let them off.
But the one saying these things was her little Alpha. After she said it, she was more surprised than her, and her face was completely red, looking as if she were about to cry. It was truly cute. How could such an Alpha do such things to her? Wouldn’t it be bad to only be focused on her?
Seeing her pitiable look, Xue Wu found it quite funny: “What are you feeling aggrieved about?”
“S-Sorry. I didn’t mean to say those disgusting things. I’m sorry.”
“But my heart is already hurt by you. I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. You just said you wouldn’t mark me casually when I wasn’t in my heat, but the next second you say you’ll drink my pheromones to satisfy your hunger when you’re hungry…”
“I-I-I-I-I was just talking nonsense! D-Don’t take it to heart!” Luo Yan looked truly panicked and hurriedly explained, making Xue Wu find it even more fun: “Then… would Yanyan rather starve to death than drink my pheromones?”
“…” This was another death-trap question!
Luo Yan was gradually realizing that the big villain after her amnesia was more terrifying than before. It was truly terrifying. Although she no longer had that hidden probing and defensiveness toward her, her playful side was beyond her expectations. she didn’t know what to say anymore.
She could only look at her pitiably, like a small cat that had lost a fight outside.
Xue Wu was driven even closer to laughter by her, almost collapsing into her arms. Luo Yan was even more flustered. Her abdominal wound had been touched and it hurt a bit. she was afraid her wound would split open and then she would surely find out. This made her want to touch her yet not dare, for fear her movements would be too large and draw her suspicion, at which point nothing could be hidden.
“Yanyan, why are you so cute?” Xue Wu laughed until tears came out—she was vivid and lively in a way she hadn’t been before. Luo Yan somehow thought of the big villain’s ending in the book; such a powerful person was ultimately killed by the female lead and her allies. she again felt it was unfair for her.
“Sister A-Wu, promise me. If you encounter any difficult problems in the future that you can’t solve, remember to discuss them with me immediately. You absolutely cannot push yourself alone.” She might not be able to guarantee other things, but since she had decided to be with the big villain, she would absolutely not allow anything to happen to her.
“What could happen to me?” Xue Wu had laughed enough and noticed the solemnity in Luo Yan’s voice, so she asked seriously.
“I mean if… um… if…” Luo Yan suddenly felt her gaze was like a hawk’s, too sharp to look at directly. she felt she had nearly let something slip and could only smooth it over like this.
“Alright, I’ll listen to what you say. but if you encounter any difficulties, you shouldn’t carry them alone either; you can discuss them with me.”
“Mhm, of course I will!” She nodded obediently, though Xue Wu remained non-committal. In her heart, she didn’t believe this Alpha, who liked to solve everything herself, would actually take her words to heart. And she was currently hiding many things from her anyway; these words were just to make her happy.
“Then… Sister A-Wu, try this red bean cake and see if it’s good.” Luo Yan stopped the previous topic, but the slight discomfort in her heart from the afternoon had indeed vanished.
“Feed me.” Xue Wu sat on the hospital bed with her hair loose, waiting to be fed. Luo Yan was a bit moved and said with a slow smile: “Okay.”
“What are you smiling at, Yanyan?”
“Oh, nothing… I just thought that we might be able to continue living like this in the future. I’ll give you whatever good food I have to eat first. The thought of that makes me quite happy.”
This was her vision for their future life together. Seeing the sincere yet somewhat childish smile on her face, Xue Wu suddenly felt a bit of heartache.
In her previous life, she had never imagined she could one day live such a life. It was simply too far away for her.
But now she had it, yet she felt a lot of regret because this life seemed to be stolen. She was just a substitute for Luo Yan’s White Moonlight. The person who was originally supposed to live this life wasn’t her, but that White Moonlight.
So, how was she going to treat herself next? Should she continue to hide it or lay all the cards on the table?
Despite this, Xue Wu had to admit that Luo Yan’s presence made her life and existence feel as though many things she hadn’t thought of or couldn’t imagine before had been added. Previously, she never considered eating and sleeping as important; she thought they were just necessities that didn’t matter—the most important thing was making money.
But Luo Yan was clearly different from her. At least she treated every meal seriously and would never be careless about it.
Not only that, she would also remind her to sleep well and not be too sloppy. Sometimes she felt she was truly thoughtful in a way that didn’t seem like an Alpha.
After meeting her, she seemed to know what it meant to live, to have a life, rather than blindly planning for revenge and living as if she had lost herself.
Thinking about it carefully, it was actually quite terrifying. If the entire meaning of her rebirth was only for revenge and doing nothing else, then she really wouldn’t be much different from a walking corpse.
Luo Yan’s appearance… helped her find the meaning of her rebirth. It wasn’t just as simple as revenge; finding people who cared about her was also very important.
After they finished eating, Luo Yan had her take a shower before she truly calmed down. In fact, she could be discharged soon. After she was discharged, she should do more of the things she liked. Of course, her career shouldn’t be neglected either—after all, she didn’t know how many people were waiting for her to fall. She had to manage her career well.
When she came out after her shower and saw Luo Yan hadn’t left, she felt a bit more settled. Although she didn’t know what happened with that White Moonlight, at least she was still here with her. She asked: “Are you staying to accompany me tonight?”
“Tonight… probably not. The university knows I advanced and wants me to give a speech to the incoming freshmen. I have to go back tonight to look up information and write the draft.” This task came very suddenly; Luo Yan hadn’t expected it to fall on her, since the original owner was a playboy.
“I see…” Xue Wu’s excited mood went cold. She realized she was indeed becoming a bit dependent on Luo Yan, which she shouldn’t be. And for some reason, thinking that Luo Yan might not really be writing a draft but might be accompanying her White Moonlight made her feel even worse.
“Mhm. If Sister A-Wu misses me, just give me a video call.”
Luo Yan knew she was reluctant to let her go, but she didn’t think more of it. she just lifted her hand and placed the ring on her pinky. The size was actually perfect, which even surprised Xue Wu. “Yanyan, did you design this according to my size?”
“Ahem, yeah…” Luo Yan was a bit embarrassed having it pointed out. she didn’t dare hold her hand for long and just said with a smile: “Sister A-Wu can also treat this ring as me. When you miss me, you can take a look at it.”
“That’s different from having the real person accompany you…” Xue Wu was still a bit reluctant and also suspicious of her, but there was nothing to be done. This was a hospital, and Luo Yan had been running back and forth for nearly a month, visibly losing weight. The dark circles under her eyes were also prominent, which was worrying to see.
And the person who caused her to be like this was her. No matter how dependent she was, she couldn’t let her not even get a good night’s sleep. Moreover… if she video-called her, she probably wouldn’t be with her White Moonlight, right?
“Then… alright…” Xue Wu didn’t try to stay her further. Instead, she reached out and pressed the dark circles under her eyes: “You have to rest early tonight, otherwise if you get panda eyes, I won’t want you anymore.”
“Ahem, okay. I’ll work hard on my skincare.”
“Not work hard on skincare—work hard on resting.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to Sister A-Wu.”
Her obedient look left Xue Wu with no temper at all. Seeing her pack her things to leave, she was completely reluctant. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed the corner of her lips before letting her leave.
Luo Yan didn’t dare kiss her back, fearing that if she started, it would become uncontrollable. she just stood stiffly while being kissed and then left. This caused the smile in Xue Wu’s eyes to completely vanish, and her whole being turned cold. she felt that since she had found her White Moonlight, she couldn’t even be bothered with a parting kiss.
Luo Yan indeed had to write a draft for a speech. The university probably chose her because they thought she was a “prodigal son returning,” having made some achievements, and was a good inspirational role model. One had to look up to her a bit.
And the piece she advanced with was indeed beautiful and convincing, making it highly praised. It wasn’t unreasonable to have her give a speech.
Her mind was full of things. As she listened to Zhao Xin report some daily work plans, she returned home. She saw her sister Luo Xi and her family—including her father and those mother and daughter—all sitting in the living room. she was a bit surprised: “Why aren’t you resting so late?”
She had zero awareness of being the main character.
“Hmph, you still know to come home?” Her sister Luo Xi spoke first, her voice full of dissatisfaction—not truly being unhappy, but more out of concern.
“The university and company have been busy.” Luo Yan touched her nose, knowing they were likely waiting for her today. she could only mention a few things, though she didn’t mention Xue Wu at all.
“The university and company are busy, but surely not to the point of not having time to eat and sleep?” This time it was Luo Debai’s turn to speak: “Your sister said you haven’t been home to rest in a long time. What’s going on?”
“Dad, it’s normal for Third Sister to be busy. I see her company has signed many large orders lately, and she’s busy at the university. Having no time to come home to rest and missing Grandfather’s birthday is normal.” Luo Qing didn’t wait for Luo Yan to speak and spoke directly, pointedly highlighting Luo Yan’s lack of filial piety to provoke Luo Debai’s anger.
“Miss Luo Qing, I only failed to attend Grandfather’s birthday banquet. That doesn’t mean I forgot. I chose a large piece of jade for him in advance to congratulate him. I’ll surely make it up to him with a banquet later when I have time.”
Luo Yan spoke without being humble or arrogant, then looked at Luo Debai: “Dad, don’t you watch the news? I won first place in the preliminary round of the National Undergraduate Jewelry Design Competition today. Aren’t you going to congratulate me instead of questioning me here?”
“Ahem, when did I question you, you brat? I’m just showing some concern. What nonsense are you talking?”
“Oh~ then it must be Miss Luo Qing questioning me without understanding the situation, trying to drive a wedge between us.”
“Third Sister, don’t just go accusing people.”
Luo Qing hadn’t expected to be outmaneuvered and immediately defended herself.
“Miss Luo Qing, please recognize your position. I only have one sister, and I don’t have a second one.” Luo Yan felt unlucky just seeing her. Thinking of the scene she saw today, it would be fun if it were true. Her gaze toward her held a hint of schadenfreude.
“Alright, alright. You took first place in the preliminary? That impressive? Have you really turned a new leaf?” Luo Debai might not be a good father or husband, but he still believed his daughter brought him honor and didn’t doubt her.
“Yes. I was ignorant before and didn’t know Sister and Dad were doing what’s best for me. Now that I know, I must work hard to bring honor to the family.” Luo Yan spoke very seriously.
Luo Debai watched her for a while, then finally laughed out loud: “Good, good, good! It’s good that you’ve thought it through. Dad will support you no matter what. I just bought an island in Mauritius not long ago; consider it Dad’s gift for your win.”
“Dad, didn’t you say that island was for me to use for vacation after I got married?” Luo Qing was stunned when the island was given to Luo Yan. How could something she already had in hand fly away?
“Did I say that? Why don’t I remember?” Luo Debai frowned and thought carefully, but finally couldn’t recall anything. He waved his hand: “I’ll just buy you another suitable one next time, won’t I?”
“Dad…”
“Alright, I see Xiao Yan is tired. Let her go to her room and rest.” Luo Debai didn’t want to say more. He gave Luo Yan a few more encouraging words about working hard and then left.
“Sigh, I wonder if someone didn’t do things well and made Dad unhappy, so the island was confiscated.” Luo Yan spoke leisurely after Luo Debai went up. Luo Qing was half-dead with rage and couldn’t care about anything else, retorting: “What else can you do besides steal things from others?”
“Wasn’t it you and your mother who stole our things first that I’m dealing with you like this? It’s called ‘an eye for an eye,’ don’t you understand?” Luo Yan wasn’t the original owner and didn’t like pretending. She couldn’t learn her way of “biding time.” she just stepped toward Luo Qing. she didn’t release pheromones, instead relying on her top rank and gender superiority to intimidate her. Luo Qing was terrified, backing away several steps before finally being unable to resist and falling to the floor, her body trembling uncontrollably.
“Heh, with such trash-level ability, you still dare seek death?” Luo Yan had been feeling stifled for days with nowhere to vent. she hadn’t expected this foolish Omega to walk right into her path.
She gave her a contemptuous smile and ignored her, turning to call Luo Xi to leave with her to avoid the bad luck of being with those two.
Luo Qing was so suppressed by her aura that she couldn’t even lift her head, and couldn’t say a single word. Her mother, who usually knew how to play along with the situation, was unable to do anything at this moment, only daring to curse in a low voice after the others had left.
“Qing-qing… how has this Luo Yan become so arrogant?!” She was also terrified of her. Her Omega rank was even lower than Luo Qing’s, having only caught Luo Debai’s eye through her looks and some schemes. Clashing with an Alpha like Luo Yan was like inviting grass to grow early on her grave.
“Isn’t it just ‘a fox assuming the tiger’s ferocity’? Does she really think she’s that powerful?” Luo Qing said through gritted teeth, wishing she could kill Luo Yan for revenge.
“Then… someone must be providing the ‘tiger’ for her,” Dai Chunjin said, feeling an increasing sense of crisis. “No. If she continues like this and joins forces with her sister, we’ll be kicked out soon.”
Her daughter wasn’t a top-tier Omega; her only use was for marriage alliance, and she couldn’t even marry into a particularly good family. They hadn’t managed to get much from the Luo family yet. If this continued, they really weren’t far from being kicked out.
After so many years of living in a wealthy family, she wouldn’t be able to adapt if she were sent back to a poor life.
“Don’t worry. The more things are like this, the more we can’t lose our heads.” Luo Qing’s gaze was firm; she seemed to have made up her mind. She stared at the corner of the stairs, her face looking somewhat distorted: “I already have a way to deal with her.”
On the other side, after Luo Yan and her sister Luo Xi went upstairs and rested for a short while, she suddenly discovered the abdominal wound was bleeding uncontrollably. Her pheromones also seemed out of control, becoming violent and surging. Her reason almost vanished. With a “thud,” she collapsed to the floor. Her eyes were incredibly red yet her pupils were dilated, making people feel an inexplicable fear.
