Chapter 35.2

She could somewhat understand why Luo Yan was so well-liked; who wouldn’t like such an exquisite and beautiful Alpha?

It was just… her lips seemed too pale. Was it a lack of rest or some other reason?

As Xue Wu watched, she couldn’t help but close her eyes and fall asleep. When Luo Yan looked back at her again, she was fast asleep.

She watched her quietly for a long time but didn’t turn off the phone—she was reluctant to do so—and continued writing her draft.

The draft wasn’t actually hard to write; it was mostly about her own thoughts and learning concepts—not a high-difficulty task.

What truly concerned her was the jewelry design theme she had drawn today.

It was a bit of a headache.

She seemed to have drawn a high-difficulty theme. The final would be in three days ​stolen content​and would be live-streamed, allowing no possibility for cheating.

This meant every move the jewelry designer made would be under others’ scrutiny. Want to cheat to win? No way.

This was fine for Luo Yan; she was used to it. She had the skill, from the birth of an inspiration to research; even being watched was no problem. she was just afraid something else might happen.

After all, the female lead Xue Fu had recently been thwarted; she would surely try to win back a round. And He Nai, who would help her later, was someone she was trying to win over. Who knew what trouble would arise.

So she couldn’t be too relaxed.

Thinking about it, Luo Yan took out the theme she had drawn today. It was a very traditional theme, yet very abstract: “Ink.”

Yes, the theme was just one word. The word brought to mind traditional culture. The ABO world she transmigrated into didn’t discuss traditional culture much; it was an overly diversified world that lacked a strong sense of cultural boundaries. This meant… expressing this theme well was actually very difficult, let alone winning an award.

Luo Yan needed to shift her thinking to explore this theme.

Thinking along these lines, it grew late into the night. She knew she shouldn’t push herself too hard. Looking [unauthorized copy]at Xue Wu’s side, she was completely asleep. She couldn’t help but smile, moved closer, and whispered: “Goodnight, Sister A-Wu. Sweet dreams.”

Then she turned off the video call, clutching her abdomen and enduring the pain with difficulty.

Zhao Xin finally arrived with the doctor around 11 PM. Luo Yan was nearly fainting, but she stubbornly finished her work and recorded her thoughts.

“My god, you’re working in this state?! Do you want to die?” The doctor wanted to scold her upon seeing her.

“It doesn’t matter. Check the wound for me.” Luo Yan couldn’t care about anything else; the priority was the wound.

The doctor was even angrier seeing her so calm: “You really are something!”

Luo Yan just smiled and said nothing.

The doctor could only re-bandage her and check her pheromone levels, which were slightly high. She sighed: “The reason for the sudden heavy bleeding is due to your own pheromone allergy, and also because there was something wrong with that knife.”

“What was wrong with the knife?” Luo Yan’s heart stirred unauthorized copy and she asked immediately.

However, the doctor didn’t want to answer, even glaring at her: “Questions, questions! No movement now, and no strenuous exercise. Lie down and sleep.”

Luo Yan: “…” The doctor is so fierce, boo hoo.

In the end, Luo Yan was forced to lie down, cover up, and sleep. She actually felt much better and believed she’d be mostly fine after a night’s rest.

What she didn’t know was that Xin Jingqiong, the female Omega she had saved at the competition, was in a towering rage.

She had been forced into her heat today, and though she was grateful Luo Yan appeared in time to stop the worst, the other party had clearly intended to kill her. The dosage of the drug was not small, and even with prompt medical attention, it was hard to suppress the symptoms.

Now that Xin Jingqiong had woken up briefly and heard the background from her special assistant, she finally couldn’t help but explode: “You’re saying I was set up because of my sister?”

The special assistant rarely saw Xin Jingqiong so angry, but at this moment could only say: “Yes.”

“Isn’t Xin Jingchun already in custody? What is this all about?”

Xin Jingqiong had come to the jewelry design competition’s announcement today mainly to personally look for design talent. On the way, she found out her sister Xin Jingchun was in custody. Before she could look into it, she found herself forced into her heat and surrounded by people nearly assaulting her. Fortunately, that little Alpha appeared in time.

And though she hadn’t stopped the reactions of the heat yet, she could handle it for a bit with her strong willpower. Therefore, she had to figure out exactly what happened today.

“Miss Jingchun was detained for a drunk-driving rear-end collision, and it also involved matters in her circle… She seemed to want to snatch a top-tier Omega, but the lady was unwilling. Miss Jingchun became angry and rear-ended the lady, causing her to have a car accident. She only woke up recently.”

“She deserves it.” After hearing the story, Xin Jingqiong didn’t have much of a reaction. Her sister had done too many bad things; this wasn’t even the most serious.

However, she was still her sister in name. Even though she didn’t want to deal with her, Xin Jingqiong knew that because of this, the Xin Group’s stock would surely plummet tomorrow, and there would be a lot of messes to clean up.

“Who was the Omega she injured?” Xin Jingqiong calmed down slightly and continued to ask.

“It’s the popular Movie Queen Xue Wu,” the assistant replied.

“Xue Wu?” Xin Jingqiong naturally had an impression of her. Their jewelry brand had once considered her, but in the end chose someone else for various reasons.

She hadn’t expected her rebellious sister to target her.

“Was the injury serious?” she continued.

“She apparently was in a coma for nearly a month. Doctors said she might become a vegetable, but she woke up later,” the assistant answered, pausing before continuing: “Miss Xue is in the same hospital as you, President Qiong, but she’s on the floor above.”

“Like that…” Xin Jingqiong fell into deep thought. Although she knew this was Xin Jingchun’s doing, she was her sister; she had to clean up the mess her sister made. An apology and compensation were mandatory.

In fact, she was also one of the victims of her sister today. She would absolutely not let those who tried to treat her that way off. And she also had to find that little Alpha who helped her. She thought the person would have marked her then, since her state was unstable; marking would have been normal.

But in the end, she held back and didn’t do anything out of line, which surprised her. She inexplicably had a very good impression of this little Alpha.

But she said she had someone she liked… that was a bit problematic.

Xin Jingqiong thought to herself, and the symptoms eased a bit. But the [unauthorized copy]next news from the assistant was frightening: “President Qiong, you’re still in a dangerous special period. Currently, you can only move within the hospital. If the special period isn’t stable tomorrow, we might still have to have an Alpha mark you.”

After all, a natural mark from an Alpha was surely more effective than forcing suppression with drugs. For the sake of her health, that was the only way.

Xin Jingqiong didn’t have much of a reaction, as if the body wasn’t hers. She remained very calm. After resting for a while, she said: “Investigate who the little Alpha was that saved me today.”

“Yes, President Qiong!” The assistant was surprised by the request but also overjoyed. Her eldest miss didn’t like Alphas getting close to her and was still single at nearly twenty-seven. That wouldn’t do.

“That’s all. Go back and rest early.” Xin Jingqiong was not one to mistreat subordinates. Seeing that instructions were clear, she let him go.

The assistant didn’t leave immediately but asked: “What about Miss Jingchun’s side?”

“Ignore it. Find time to write a statement permanently expelling her from the Xin family,” Xin Jingqiong added calmly.

“President Qiong, this…”

“What? You want to plead for her?” stolen content Xin Jingqiong looked over, her tone still calm but making the assistant’s skin crawl.

“No…”

“Good. Then do as I said.”

“Yes.” The assistant had nothing more to say. He didn’t pity Xin Jingchun; Xin Jingqiong had done enough for her already, and it was time for her to be independent.

He withdrew quietly. Seeing Xin Jingqiong fall asleep with a frown, he was still worried. The primary task now was to find that little Alpha to mark their eldest miss; otherwise, Xin Jingqiong’s glands would be ruined if this continued!

Luo Yan had a good night’s sleep at home and got up early the next day. First, she checked her wound. After resting well according to the doctor’s orders, she felt much better. So she ignored the doctor’s advice about resting at home for a few days and, after having the auntie prepare breakfast, headed to the hospital to see Xue Wu.

She naturally couldn’t hide her reunion with Xue Wu from her family for long, and the matter of the engagement also needed to be discussed further—it couldn’t be too hasty.

But this was not the time for those things. She still needed to make preparations, such as putting effort into winning the national jewelry design competition. This would benefit her in every way. She wasn’t just there for experience; she wanted to win completely.

Since she wasn’t a newcomer—having been through a global design competition and competed with over a hundred thousand people—if bailiantales.comshe couldn’t even win this national competition, she’d be ashamed to say she’d won a global championship.

So, first, she had to win the competition. Second, the company had to show some good results to give Xue Wu confidence in following her. Although the big villain didn’t lack money, she had to have what other Alphas’ partners had.

And regarding the Omega who stabbed her yesterday… she still had to follow up. At the very least, that woman couldn’t go around with a face similar to Xue Wu’s doing disgusting things; she felt disgusted just thinking about it.

And the Xin Jingchun matter… she needed to resolve that properly. To some extent, the matter of the Omega who resembled the big villain was also related to her. It was truly unfortunate.

Therefore, Luo Yan didn’t say everything but planned to take it step-by-step and explain to Xue Wu once things were clearer.

She had the auntie prepare a thermos of wonton noodles, with the wontons and noodles packed separately, intending to eat breakfast at the hospital with Xue Wu.

She had some time today; it wouldn’t be too late to go to school after breakfast. And she also needed to know when Xue Wu could be discharged; staying in the hospital every day wasn’t a permanent solution.

“Is the Second Miss taking breakfast to school to eat with classmates today?” The family’s auntie had worked there for many years and had cared for Luo Xi and Luo Yan since they were children. So even after Luo Qing and her mother moved in, the auntie was still on their side.

“Yes, Auntie. Your wonton noodles are delicious; I want my friend ​unauthorized copy​to try them too, so I’m taking an extra portion.” Luo Yan was not shy about saying so.

“Good, good. It’s good that you like my cooking.” The auntie smiled happily and added a few more wontons.

“Tsk, such a sweet mouth first thing in the morning?” Luo Xi usually got up early and had just returned from a run. Hearing the conversation, she walked over to see what they were doing. Seeing this, she realized her sister was quite the “virtuous wife” type Alpha.

Bringing whatever was delicious to Xue Wu, no matter how much trouble—how many Alphas could do that?

“Ahem, good morning, Sister~” Luo Yan knew her sister knew what she was doing; she couldn’t fool her.

“Going to school this early?” Luo Xi didn’t expose her but asked directly.

“Mhm, there’s a speech today, so I need to go early.”

“Then I’ll go to your school today and take a look too.” Luo Xi heard about the speech, which was a long time coming. In her memory, her sister’s many talents had stopped abruptly at age sixteen, let alone giving a university speech—that was already quite impressive.

“Ah?” Luo Yan hadn’t expected her sister unauthorized copyto come. “This… aren’t you busy?”

“No matter how busy, I have to see my sister’s heroic appearance.” Luo Xi held a glass of water and spoke with a smile, clearly teasing her.

Luo Yan flushed slightly under her gaze. She thought about the plot involving Luo Xi in the book and noted there was nothing bad about it, so she said: “Then… if Sister wants to go, go ahead. It’s just a minor speech; just don’t laugh at me.”

“How could I?” Luo Xi was quite happy about the change in her sister. She smiled and spoke to her, already thinking about how to give her sister some “face.”

At this hour, only the two sisters were up. Someone like Luo Qing wouldn’t get out of bed before 10 AM. So the dining room was quite quiet, with no one disturbing the two sisters’ conversation.

Luo Yan packed the breakfast and didn’t wait any longer. She said goodbye to her sister and the auntie and drove away.

The drive to the hospital was about twenty minutes. Luo Yan had rested well last night and was in good spirits. She had a bright smile while riding the elevator—the vibrant smile was impossible to look away from.

Xin Jingqiong’s assistant, Lin, saw Luo Yan at this moment. He was worried about where to find her, and seeing her in the elevator was an effortless success!

“Excuse me, Miss, are you the Alpha who saved our ​read the original at bailiantales.com​eldest miss yesterday?” Assistant Lin couldn’t wait and spoke directly to her.

Luo Yan hadn’t expected to meet someone she knew in the elevator. She turned her head and immediately recognized the subordinate of the female Omega she had saved. She nodded and didn’t deny it: “It’s me.”

“Wonderful, I finally found you!” Assistant Lin’s joy was palpable. His eyes held a spark as he looked at Luo Yan, which gave her an inexplicable case of goosebumps. She could only ask cautiously: “What is it? Did something happen?”

“No, no, not at all. Our eldest miss wants me to find you to thank you personally!” Assistant Lin was exceptionally enthusiastic. His impression of her was very good, and she was likely extremely compatible with their eldest miss’s pheromones, making him even more enthusiastic.

“A personal thank you isn’t necessary,” Luo Yan thought for a moment. “How is she doing after she was taken away yesterday?”

“To be honest, not very well,” Assistant Lin said gloomily. “It can’t be stabilized.”

“In that case, I shouldn’t go see her, lest it causes another emergency.” Luo Yan was very self-aware and absolutely didn’t want any involvement with her.

She didn’t even want to know her name; she just wanted to minimize contact.

Since she had Xue Wu, she [bailiantales.com]wouldn’t covet anyone else. Yesterday’s incident was just a helping hand.

“This…” Assistant Lin hadn’t expected her to be so principled. For a moment, he didn’t know how to speak to her and could only watch her, hesitating.

“Oh, your floor seems to be here. Aren’t you going?” Luo Yan didn’t seem to notice his difficulty and spoke to him.

“Oh, right… it is here.” Assistant Lin looked at the floor where the elevator stopped but didn’t give up, taking out his phone: “Can I add you then? So I can report back to the eldest miss.”

Luo Yan hesitated for a moment but finally reluctantly agreed: “Alright then.”

Assistant Lin breathed a sigh of relief: “Miss, you truly are a good person!”

…

In the end, Luo Yan added Assistant Lin, and he left the elevator satisfied.

Luo Yan treated this as just a minor interlude and didn’t pay it much attention. Instead, she happily carried the food to find Xue Wu. When she arrived, Xue Wu had just gotten up and hadn’t washed yet. Seeing [stolen content]her so relaxed, Luo Yan couldn’t help but walk behind her, cover her eyes, and ask in a deliberately deep voice: “Guess who I am?”

“Who else could it be but my little Alpha?” Xue Wu was amused by the childish act. She grabbed the back of her hand, pulled her hands away, and turned to look at her, seeing a fresh-looking Luo Yan.

The scene after she bathed last night seemed to be right before her eyes, making her a bit distracted. Seemingly unwilling to think more about it, she snapped back and examined her carefully.

Today she was no longer in all black but was wearing a very stylish white shirt, tight jeans, and rivet boots. Her hair was soft and hung on both sides of her face. It was simple yet elegant and cool, with an indescribable feel to it.

She had more “vibe” than many people in the entertainment industry. If she entered the circle, her charm would be no less than anyone else’s.

But she was reluctant to let her enter that circle. She herself was in it only because she had no choice, and most of the people she wanted revenge on were in this circle; she couldn’t leave it.

“Why so playful today?” Xue Wu was still a bit sleepy. The hospital gown hung loosely on her, but she looked in good spirits. Luo Yan couldn’t help but rest her head on her shoulder and say somewhat coquettishly: “Does Sister A-Wu not like me like this?”

Xue Wu hadn’t expected her to be this clingy first thing in the morning. The sudden coquettishness left her with no defense. She reached out to hold her shoulder, turned her head, and kissed her hair: “When did I say I didn’t like it?”

“Mhm, then that means you like it.” Luo [Read on BaiLianTales]Yan became happy, her eyes curving with a smile. “Sister A-Wu is also very beautiful today!”

“The mouth is still so sweet.”

“It’s the truth, not sweet talk.”

Xue Wu let her go, and her mood was also very good. She went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Luo Yan didn’t disturb her but set out the breakfast she had brought for her to eat.

During this time, the doctor and nurse came for their rounds as usual. Seeing Luo Yan there so early with steaming breakfast, they were briefly moved: “Miss Luo is here to see Miss Xue again?”

“Yes, brought her some breakfast.”

“There are very few Alphas as thoughtful as you nowadays.” And she was young; being so steady and reliable was beyond their expectations.

“Usually it’s Sister A-Wu who takes care of me more.” Luo Yan didn’t feel she was particularly thoughtful; what she had done was not enough.

After a few more minutes of chat, Luo Yan finally couldn’t help but read the original at bailiantales.com ask: “Sister A-Wu’s body should be fine, right? When can she be discharged?”

“If there are no problems after a few more checks these next few days, she can be discharged anytime.” The attending doctor was present and spoke to Luo Yan based on the data in the medical record.

“Good! That’s wonderful!” Hearing the doctor’s definite reply, Luo Yan laughed happily; one could see she was truly happy for Xue Wu.

The doctor hadn’t expected that the Alpha the great Movie Queen Xue found, though young, was truly sincere and candid—much better than her previous rumor partners.

But before she could say another word, a nurse suddenly burst in, her tone anxious: “Dr. He, something’s wrong! The female Omega patient admitted yesterday has entered her heat again! The drugs can’t control it at all! We must find an Alpha to mark her!”
