After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 6
The exquisite and beautiful Omega remained standing there, watching Luo Yan tenderly, seemingly waiting patiently for her answer.
The more Luo Yan was stared at, the more her heart hammered in fear. Scenes of the original owner’s tragic death from the book flashed across her mind, and she forcefully suppressed the surging pheromone response in her body.
To stay alive, I must stay away from the big villain! Otherwise, it’s going to be a disaster!
She gave herself countless psychological pep talks before finally forcing a smile, wanting to tell Xue Wu to go about her business and stop wasting time on her.
However, before she could speak, a surprised female voice rang out from the side: “Oh, how rare! Luo the Third, what are you doing here?”
Luo Yan didn’t care who it was; she immediately turned her head. Seeing a female Omega classmate of the original owner walking toward them from not far away, she let out a small sigh of relief. She thanked the heavens for the timely rescue—otherwise, she really wouldn’t have known how to handle Xue Wu’s suspicion.
“What’s so rare about it? It’s a school day. Isn’t it normal for me to be here for class?” Luo Yan remembered that the original owner had a fairly good relationship with this Omega, “Gong Lin,” and they often joked around.
“Ha! Seeing you five times in a single semester is already a miracle,” Gong Lin remarked, ruthlessly calling out Luo Yan’s usual behavior.
Watching the interaction between the two, Xue Wu felt more and more that this little Alpha, Luo Yan, was different from what she had imagined. Faced with another Omega, Luo Yan was like a mouse seeing a cat, but with her classmate, she was perfectly normal.
Xue Wu’s pheromone level wasn’t low; was she really that unappealing to this girl? But if that were the case, why had she saved her so many times? Did she really have no other motive? Xue Wu didn’t believe in the “random act of kindness” explanation for a second.
“Miss Xue, my classmate is here and I have a class soon. I’ll be going now.” Luo Yan didn’t want to snub the big villain—it wouldn’t be good if Xue Wu noted this down in her little grudge book—so she gave a polite yet distant greeting and prepared to leave with Gong Lin.
Xue Wu didn’t say yes or no. She simply stood there, fixing her gaze on Luo Yan. Her face was cold and elegant, possessing an inviolable aura that made Luo Yan’s heart feel as if it were being squeezed. Her lips parted, but she found herself unable to say another word.
“Luo Yan, are you well-acquainted with the great Movie Queen Xue?” Gong Lin wasn’t afraid of Xue Wu. She wasn’t stupid either; she could clearly sense the subtle push-and-pull and the tension between the two.
“Not really, we just run into each other occasionally.” Luo Yan searched the original owner’s memories and realized Gong Lin likely didn’t know about the engagement. If she didn’t know, it was for the best!
Otherwise… she might face another round of social death.
Furthermore, judging by the villain’s reaction, she also seemed unaware that they were engaged. If she knew, this situation would be even more difficult to handle.
“Miss Luo isn’t well-acquainted with me, yet she stood up to save me twice. Truly a selfless soul,” Xue Wu interjected. Her tone was tinged with irony, yet her voice remained steady. If one wasn’t paying close attention, it was hard to catch her true meaning.
Luo Yan was highly sensitive to her emotional shifts and naturally heard the mockery. She could only play the coward and pretend she didn’t understand. “Aren’t you here to film, Miss Xue? Now that the incident is resolved, you should probably get to work, right?”
“No rush.” Xue Wu, perversely deciding not to let her off the hook, gave her a slow look. Noticing a smear of blood on Luo Yan’s arm from a scrape the girl hadn’t noticed yet, she looked down and gestured toward the wound. “You’re injured. Let me help you bandage it.”
Luo Yan: “???”
She looked at the scratch on the back of her hand—it was about $1text{mm}$ long. If she hadn’t looked closely, she would have thought it was just a mosquito bite. This counted as an injury? Although she was an Alpha who had “joined the ranks” halfway, she couldn’t take such a minor scratch seriously. In fact… this didn’t even qualify as a wound!
So, did the big villain want to find a secluded spot to finish her off? No way…
“It’s just a tiny scratch, there’s no need to trouble the Movie Queen. I have a Band-Aid right here for her.” At the crucial moment, Gong Lin spoke up again. Luo Yan felt that Gong Lin was her guardian angel; the original owner was lucky to have such a friend.
This time, Xue Wu didn’t even look at Gong Lin. She kept her eyes fixed on Luo Yan, her gaze calm yet carrying a hint of guilt and sadness. Luo Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
She felt the big villain’s acting was truly top-tier. She found herself unable to refuse that look.
“Then… then I’ll trouble you, Miss Xue,” Luo Yan finally said.
The sadness in Xue Wu’s eyes slowly settled, replaced by a fleeting flash of what seemed to be a smile. “Let’s go.”
Without a single glance at Gong Lin, she led Luo Yan away.
Gong Lin didn’t stop them this time. She stood there quietly watching them leave, her right hand slowly clenching into a fist and her lips pressing into a thin line.
Xue Wu didn’t take Luo Yan far. She led her to a small room near the film set used for resting. She gestured for Luo Yan to sit while she brought over a first-aid kit to bandage the wound.
Luo Yan: “…” She’s really playing the part.
She didn’t speak, watching the other woman move about. She felt a bizarre illusion… as if her life was on a countdown. Right now, the big villain was fussing over her, but in the future, she was destined to die at her hands. What goes around comes around.
“Miss Xue, you don’t need to go to all this trouble. Such a small scratch really isn’t an issue.” Luo Yan had assumed the other woman had something important to say, but it turned out she really just wanted to bandage the wound.
But for such a tiny scrape… it was truly unnecessary.
“Does Miss Luo not trust me?” Xue Wu turned to look at her, her eyes full of scrutiny and a trace of hurt.
Luo Yan: “…” There’s no need for the ‘I’ve been betrayed by you’ expression.
In the end, she had to let the big villain sit in front of her to treat the wound. In reality, there was nothing to treat. By the time she finished disinfecting it with alcohol, the scratch had already healed.
Awkward. Absolute social death.
Xue Wu sat opposite her, holding a cotton swab but unable to find the wound. Though her face remained expressionless, her stiff fingers betrayed her inner turmoil.
“Miss Luo’s constitution is excellent. You really don’t look like an unranked Alpha.” The probing intent in her words was obvious, making Luo Yan wary. After all, the original owner’s rank was officially “unranked,” which was essentially synonymous with being a “useless Alpha.” For Xue Wu to say it so bluntly wasn’t an insult; she had sensed something and was testing her.
“It wasn’t a major injury to begin with,” Luo Yan feigned ignorance with a stiff laugh. “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”
“Why?” Xue Wu didn’t move to stop her, but asked abruptly as Luo Yan took a few steps toward the door.
“Why what?” Luo Yan turned back to ask.
“Miss Luo is not known for being a philanthropist. Why have you saved me multiple times without asking for anything in return?”
Xue Wu suddenly stood up and walked toward her. Sweet pheromones seeped from her body, swirling around Luo Yan. She was about half a head shorter than Luo Yan, but this did nothing to diminish her presence as a top-tier Omega. It seemed she was determined to get a clear answer today.
In her past life, her tragic end was largely due to her face and her gender rank. Therefore… manipulating an Alpha younger than herself to get what she wanted was an easy task.
She didn’t believe in unconditional kindness. Luo Yan had clearly been walking away without looking back, yet she returned to help the moment trouble arose. Xue Wu didn’t believe she wasn’t after something.
Having been reborn, Xue Wu didn’t like potential threats lingering around her. She had to figure out what this Miss Luo wanted.
Luo Yan’s body tensed almost instantly as Xue Wu’s pheromones wrapped around her.
The instincts of an Alpha awakened in a flash, especially since Xue Wu’s pheromones likely shared a high compatibility with hers. With this top-tier Omega actively provoking her… it was a miracle she hadn’t already pinned her down to mark her.
Luo Yan truly felt that being with Xue Wu was like being with a time bomb—one that would blow her up at any moment, but not before torturing her with tenderness. Her life was miserable.
“Why won’t Miss Luo answer me? Do you like this body of mine and are trying to get my attention quietly to make me fall for you? Or is it something else? Give me a reason.”
As Xue Wu spoke, her slender hand touched Luo Yan’s shoulder. Though she was shorter, she leaned in from behind. Her sweet, pheromone-scented breath brushed against Luo Yan’s ear… her red lips hovered dangerously close. It was a lethal level of intimacy.
The ambiguity was so thick that Luo Yan’s body was completely rigid. Her remaining sanity was being evaporated by the boiling blood in her veins.
Mark her. I must mark her. Inject my pheromones into her gland. Make her smell only of me. Don’t let her escape, don’t let her pull away. Mark her! Once marked, she will belong to me!
These frantic thoughts hammered at her brain. Luo Yan’s pheromones were surging, and the gland on her neck was heating up. Her fists were clenched tight and her lips were pressed together, fearing that any slip of her mind would result in some strange words escaping her mouth.
She didn’t want to die; she wanted to live. She had to endure!
“If Miss Luo really likes me… since you’ve helped me twice… if you want to give me a temporary mark once, it’s not impossible…” A strand of her hair brushed against Luo Yan’s cheek. They were incredibly close now, their breaths mingling as the pheromones grew even more intense.
This siren-like Omega, who knew exactly how to bewitch the soul, whispered a low temptation in her ear: “Well? Miss Luo, do you want to try?” Her tone made a temporary mark sound as casual as buying groceries.
Yet, she actually minded it intensely.
Luo Yan’s heart felt heavy. Suddenly, her long arms reached out, and with a forceful pull, she dragged Xue Wu into her embrace. She swept aside the long hair at the back of the Omega’s neck, leaning down toward the sweet-scented gland as if to bite down—
