My Crazy Omega Wife Insists I Mark Her [Transmigration Into a Book] - Chapter 3
Ruan Chenye patted her chest, grateful that she had dodged quickly. Her eyes were full of the relaxed relief of someone who had just survived a disaster. She turned back to look at Feng Xiao, and from the corner of her eye, she noticed the awkward angle of Feng Xiao’s right hand. Suddenly remembering what the housekeeper had said before leaving, the way she looked at Feng Xiao could not help filling with admiration.
As expected of the protagonist. Ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to herself!
But now was not the time to sigh in admiration. If this dragged on any longer, even she was going to lose control. Smelling the increasingly rich, fresh orange scent in the air, Ruan Chenye looked at the suppressant in her hand and tried to communicate with Feng Xiao in as steady a tone as possible.
“Why are you running? I’m not in the mood to mark you right now. Don’t glare at me either. There’s a whole line of Omegas waiting for me to mark them. I don’t have time to waste on you.”
Sigh. She really could not quite imitate the original owner’s arrogant, self-important personality. Maybe she should find a chance to pretend she had amnesia. Otherwise, sooner or later, she would expose herself.
While Ruan Chenye was lamenting how difficult acting was, Feng Xiao did not believe her words at all. But what little rationality she had left vaguely sensed something strange. The Ruan Chenye before her seemed a little different from the Ruan Chenye in her memories, the one who took pleasure in tormenting her.
At the very least, she had never seen Ruan Chenye spit out meat that had already reached her mouth.
Of course, perhaps Ruan Chenye had seen that she was not easy to provoke and did not intend to waste time on her. But when Feng Xiao thought of her own face, even she found that impossible.
In her previous life, wasn’t the reason Ruan Chenye had never let her go precisely because of this face that resembled Feng Ling’s?
Seeing Feng Xiao standing there motionless, Ruan Chenye thought she had believed her words and instantly let out a breath of relief. She quickly walked to Feng Xiao’s side and reached out, wanting to grab her uninjured arm. But she had never given anyone a suppressant shot before, and in the original owner’s memories, there was even less of this kind of “condescending” behavior. She did not even have a way to learn from experience.
By the time Feng Xiao came back to her senses, she found that Ruan Chenye had grabbed her. She immediately flung Ruan Chenye’s hand away as if triggered.
“Feng Xiao, look into my eyes. Feng Xiao, calm down. I’m not trying to hurt you. Look, this is a suppressant. It’ll end your heat. Don’t you not want to be marked by me? If you don’t take the suppressant, I won’t be able to hold back. Trust me this once, all right?”
Ruan Chenye could no longer care about the risk of exposing herself. She had to quickly calm Feng Xiao down. The fresh orange scent in the air was already affecting her will. If they waited any longer, she might really become like the Ruan Chenye in the novel and do something Feng Xiao hated.
Her attempt to soothe her seemed to work. Feng Xiao’s struggling gradually weakened. Ruan Chenye was overjoyed and quickly measured against Feng Xiao’s arm. Taking a deep breath, she relied on instinct and gave her the suppressant shot.
Although an Omega’s consciousness would turn muddled during heat, Feng Xiao was an exception. She would clearly remember everything that happened. That was why, in her previous life, every time she was marked by Ruan Chenye during her heat, it had been her most painful moment. She could not forget. That nauseating sensation followed her like a shadow, destroying her will.
But what had she just heard this time? Ruan Chenye had actually used such a gentle tone to soothe her emotions. Sure enough, she had not been reborn. She was only dreaming. Perhaps she simply wanted to save herself once when she had already lost the will to live, even if it was only in a dream.
But the stinging pain from her arm and the cold liquid flowing into her body both seemed to be telling Feng Xiao that this was not a dream.
She really had been reborn.
With the help of the suppressant, Feng Xiao’s consciousness gradually returned. She stared blankly at the sudden little bump on her arm, recalling everything that had just happened.
She was not dreaming. Ruan Chenye had actually given her a suppressant shot. How was that possible?
In her previous life, even when she was sick, as long as Ruan Chenye wanted it, she had to give it. And ever since Ruan Chenye marked her, she had never used a suppressant again, because there had never been a time when her gland was unharmed.
So those soothing words she had just heard really had been spoken by Ruan Chenye.
Including now.
Because Ruan Chenye had given her the suppressant shot, she was currently very close. The trace of heartache revealed in her eyes was instantly caught by Feng Xiao.
Ruan Chenye was… feeling sorry for her?
Feng Xiao’s heart felt as though something had lightly scratched it, both itchy and numb.
Ruan Chenye was also observing Feng Xiao at this moment. After all, she did not know how effective the suppressant would be. If it did not work much, she could only give Feng Xiao another shot.
Before this, Feng Xiao’s image had only appeared before her in the form of words. Just now, because of other reasons, she had not been able to observe her carefully either. Now, she finally caught the chance.
In the novel, one word had always been used to describe Feng Xiao: resilient. Like wild grass that could not be trampled down. That was why, in the end, she had successfully taken revenge on all those who had once bullied her.
Feng Xiao’s eyes were very large, with very little white showing. Her pitch-black pupils were like finely ground ink, dark and bright at the same time. When she looked at people, she always had a ghostly feeling to her. Her chin was sharp, and there was pitifully little flesh on her face, making her look as though she had never eaten her fill. Ruan Chenye remembered that the Feng family had always treated Feng Xiao badly. Even the servants looked down on this young lady in name only.
Thinking of this, a surge of protectiveness rose in Ruan Chenye’s heart. In any case, she had already transmigrated into the novel, and she even had the kind of identity with money and power. From now on, as long as she was here, no one could even think of bullying Feng Xiao!
The suppressant was taking effect. The sweet orange scent on Feng Xiao’s body gradually faded. Ruan Chenye was still not reassured, so she twitched her nose and sniffed hard. Only after confirming that there was no scent left did she let out a breath of relief. She released Feng Xiao’s hand and stepped back a few paces. The restlessness in her body also faded away with the disappearance of the Omega’s pheromones.
But when she looked up, she saw Feng Xiao looking at her with an expression that said a dog would never stop eating shit.
W-what happened?
Bewilderment flashed through Ruan Chenye’s eyes. She seemed to see her already precarious favorability score sprinting toward the negatives.
No!!!
When Feng Xiao came back to her senses, she saw Ruan Chenye acting like a pervert and crazily smelling her pheromones. Her expression instantly turned cold. Recalling how concerned Ruan Chenye had looked just now, she finally understood what Ruan Chenye was trying to do. So she had been relaxing her guard. Even giving her the suppressant shot had been an act. What a clever retreat in order to advance!
And she had actually been moved by Ruan Chenye’s concern. Thinking of this, Feng Xiao bit her lip hard, leaving a pale mark behind. Fury sprayed from the depths of her eyes.
She had almost fallen for Ruan Chenye’s trick.
Sure enough, it was because she had been reborn that she had relaxed her guard against Ruan Chenye. She had not expected Ruan Chenye to still have a move like this.
Feng Xiao glanced at her dislocated arm and her weakened body caused by the heat. Right now, the possibility of her escaping the Ruan family was almost zero.
She had to think of a way. At the very least, she had to stall for time first and give herself a chance to recover.
In order to save her precarious favorability, Ruan Chenye grew a little anxious. She did not know what had happened just now. Originally, the protagonist’s attitude toward her had softened a little, but now, not only had she turned back into a hedgehog, she had become even more guarded.
Still, the good news among the bad news was that she had not been suspected. Ruan Chenye amused herself with that bitter thought.
Forget it. Feng Xiao’s arm was dislocated right now, and if Ruan Chenye had not seen wrong, her wrist was also injured. She should first find a doctor to set her arm back.
The moment Ruan Chenye walked out of the bedroom, she was startled by the housekeeper standing outside the door. She forced herself to remain calm and imitated the original owner’s attitude, pretending to be impatient as she said, “Why are you still here?”
A trace of surprise flashed through the housekeeper’s eyes. President Ruan’s attitude was so good today? She actually had not cursed her. Could it be because of Miss Feng?
But wasn’t that Omega named Feng Xiao an inferior Omega? Her pheromones should be useless to President Ruan. Could it be because of that face?
The housekeeper shook off her wild thoughts. Looking at Ruan Chenye’s increasingly impatient expression, she quickly answered, “I remembered that there was still something I had to tell you.”
She had forgotten to mention that Mu Xue had asked her to send Feng Xiao away.
“Whatever it is, say it tomorrow. Go find another doctor. Feng Xiao’s arm is dislocated.” Nothing was more important than finding a doctor for Feng Xiao.
“Ah?” The housekeeper froze. President Ruan actually had not asked her to call Dr. Mu back, but had told her to find another doctor instead. It seemed that Miss Feng’s place in President Ruan’s heart was higher than she had imagined.
That made sense. Miss Feng Xiao and Miss Feng Ling really did look alike. It was just that one had a colder, gloomier temperament, while the other leaned more delicate and weak.
As for Miss Feng being injured, that could not be helped either. As a top-tier Alpha, it was normal for President Ruan to lose control when marking someone.
The housekeeper thought Feng Xiao’s dislocated arm had been caused by Ruan Chenye marking her just now.
Watching the housekeeper leave, then glancing at the closed bedroom door, Ruan Chenye decided to wait outside first. The more she said, the more mistakes she might make. Besides, she also needed to calm down.
Ruan Chenye leaned against the railing opposite the bedroom. The corridor was completely silent, and her somewhat muddled mind gradually became clear.
Just now, she had already known that she had transmigrated to the very beginning of the story: the night the original owner forcibly marked Feng Xiao. But judging from what had just happened and the wound on her forehead, the original owner should not have succeeded.
Although this was not quite the same as what had been written in the novel, for her, it was actually good news. It meant she still had a chance to raise favorability.
In truth, after calming down and thinking about it, Feng Xiao probably only hated her right now. It had not yet reached the point where she wanted to kill her. After figuring this out, Ruan Chenye let out a breath of relief.
Ruan Chenye rubbed her face, making her beautiful features crumple up. She was a straight woman who had been single for more than ten years. Her first marriage was actually to a woman. No matter how she thought about it, it felt a little strange.
And then there was that ABO setting. In her eyes, it was just like perfume. It was just that everyone sprayed a different scent.
This suddenly made Ruan Chenye a little curious about what scent she had. She looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one around, then lifted her arm and began sniffing everywhere. Unfortunately, she smelled nothing.
Didn’t the original owner’s pheromones supposedly resemble flames? She only smelled a faint tea fragrance. Maybe it was a scent the original owner had picked up from drinking tea.
Suddenly, footsteps came from downstairs. Ruan Chenye immediately put on a thoughtful expression.
“President Ruan, Dr. Liu is here.” The housekeeper brought another unfamiliar doctor to Ruan Chenye’s side.
For a large family like the Ruan family, there was more than one private doctor. It was just a matter of preference. In the past, President Ruan had always called for Dr. Mu.
