Flash Marriage with a Seductive Beautiful Omega After Being Dumped/Having the Engagement Broken - Chapter 3

Shen Jiangxu drove Bai Youxi to the nearest hospital, which was also the top general hospital in Nancheng.

Since it was Friday during rush hour, the hospital’s outpatient clinic was closed by the time they arrived, so they had to go to the emergency room.

Even though Bai Youxi was the one who suggested going to the hospital, she wasn’t in any hurry, nor did she say what she needed to be checked for. On the way, she even told Shen Jiangxu to drive slowly and was busy peeling candy wrappers for Nian Nian in the back seat.

After recognizing Shen Jiangxu, she did briefly wonder if Nian Nian was her child, as the age seemed about right. However, she had previously asked Nian Nian’s birthday and calculated that there was a difference of more than five months. It was impossible.

Moreover, Nian Nian only slightly resembled Shen Jiangxu from certain angles and looked nothing like her.

So, Bai Youxi quietly kept her mouth shut, not mentioning the subject at all, afraid of being pinned down again.

Shen Jiangxu had seen the scrape on her back of her neck. It looked like she had rubbed against a protruding stone on the ground when she was pushed down, tearing a patch of skin about the size of a coin.

Although it was bleeding, it didn’t look very serious.

But since it was close to the gland, Shen Jiangxu didn’t dare to take chances. She handed the car keys to Aunt Tong to park the car, and she and the two in the back seat one adult, one small got out.

At the triage area, Shen Jiangxu spoke first, “Hello, excuse me, a scrape on the back of the neck…”

Bai Youxi raised her hand to interrupt, placing her ID card in front of the nurse. “I’m the patient. The pheromone regulating tube implanted in the back of my neck seems to be wrong; it feels like two now.”

The nurse’s expression instantly became serious. “When was your last rut?”

Bai Youxi hesitated. “It came unexpectedly about a week ago.”

Nurse: “Please wait a moment, I’ll contact a doctor right away.”

Bai Youxi took back her ID card from the nurse and nodded.

Beside her, Nian Nian tugged on her pant leg. “Kitten, what’s a big sister tube?”

Just as Bai Youxi was about to explain, Shen Jiangxu spoke up. “It’s a pheromone regulating tube.”

A cold tone.

Shen Jiangxu never used this tone when talking to Nian Nian not even earlier when she thought Bai Youxi was a human trafficker and asked Nian Nian for help getting her phone.

Those smoky-grey eyes were looking at her coldly, making her a little afraid to meet the gaze.

“That’s something only Alphas or Omegas with pheromone regulation disorder use, and it’s not conventionally implanted in the arm.” Shen Jiangxu paused.

“Bai Youxi, you are very sick.”

It was a statement of certainty.

On the way, they had exchanged names, treating it as their first meeting.

Bai Youxi exhaled, finally looked up to meet Shen Jiangxu’s eyes, and nodded.

Shen Jiangxu’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. “Why didn’t you mention it beforehand on the way here?”

Bai Youxi was suddenly confused by the question. “You didn’t ask.”

Shen Jiangxu was about to say something more, but the nurse came over to call Bai Youxi.

Bai Youxi responded and started walking over. Behind her, Shen Jiangxu, holding Nian Nian’s hand, followed.

Consultation, ordering tests, X-rays, examination, and back to consultation. While the specialists consulted, they sat outside the clinic room, finally able to catch their breath.

Nian Nian’s little hand suddenly grabbed her thumb. “The doctor auntie is very capable.”

Bai Youxi was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. “Mhm, I know.”

“I will compensate you for all medical expenses.”

Shen Jiangxu’s voice drifted over, a clear and pleasant tone, neither cold nor warm.

Bai Youxi turned her head, waving her hands quickly. “No, no, no, it was all an accident. There’s no need for compensation. I’m already very grateful that you brought me to the hospital and lent me the medical fee this time.”

Although the solution hadn’t been decided yet, it was confirmed that the regulating tube on the back of her neck was indeed damaged.

Pheromone regulating tubes themselves were not cheap, and even before the doctor spoke, she knew that the current parameters of regulating tubes on the market wouldn’t solve her problem.

Replacing it would mean customizing a new one, which wouldn’t just be expensive it would be very expensive.

Shen Jiangxu’s attitude was firm, but Bai Youxi still shook her head, bending her lips into a smile. “I can’t fleece you. It’s been inadequate all year. Even if it hadn’t broken now, I would have had to replace it soon anyway.”

Shen Jiangxu did not accept this. “Since I broke it, I should compensate you. Even Nian Nian understands this logic.”

Nian Nian nodded very seriously between the two. “Exactly, exactly, you have to compensate.”

Nian Nian’s cheeks were chubby, and her serious little expressions were always exceptionally cute, making Bai Youxi unable to control her smile.

This made the three people on the chairs look strange, the one who was sick was laughing carefree, while the two accompanying her were one more serious than the other.

Shen Jiangxu used Nian Nian to counter her, so Bai Youxi also tried to find a breakthrough through Nian Nian. “But Nian Nian, the regulating tube is very, very, very expensive! If your mom compensates me, you won’t have money to buy candy, and the one you ate today was the last one.”

She emphasized the words “expensive” and “candy,” trying to sway Nian Nian’s heart.

But Nian Nian blinked her purple grape-like eyes, her voice very soft and gentle, as if trying to soothe her. “If Kitten can get better, I can stop eating candy.”

Bai Youxi froze. She scratched the back of her head and looked up at Shen Jiangxu.

Shen Jiangxu was also looking at Nian Nian, her face full of tenderness.

As if sensing Bai Youxi’s movement, Shen Jiangxu also looked up, and the tenderness in her face vanished, returning to politeness and distance.

Shen Jiangxu: “Don’t worry, I can afford it.”

Bai Youxi gave a bitter smile. “You have a good child.”

Shen Jiangxu nodded, her upturned eye corners seeming to carry a hint of pride.

Seeing that the two had stopped arguing about compensation, Nian Nian swung her dangling feet.

The commotion meant the time was getting late, and Nian Nian was a little hungry. She rummaged through her small shoulder bag for snacks, only finding one packet of small biscuits.

Holding the biscuits, she thought for a moment, looking at her mom on the left, and then the kitten on the right, and finally put the biscuits into Bai Youxi’s hand. “Kitten, eat.”

Bai Youxi had a feeling she might be hungry when she saw her rummaging through her bag, but she didn’t expect the snack to end up in her hands.

Wait, Bai Youxi held the biscuits. “Are you hungry, Nian Nian?”

Nian Nian shook her head like a rattle. “You have to see the doctor auntie later, your tummy can’t rumble.”

This confirmed it she was definitely hungry.

Bai Youxi looked at Shen Jiangxu. “I’m sorry to keep you both here so late. Why don’t you take Nian Nian to grab something to eat? She’s still little and can’t handle hunger.”

Shen Jiangxu only said, “No need.”

Bai Youxi felt a little strange and tried to persuade her a couple more times to no avail. She tried to give the biscuits back to Nian Nian, but Nian Nian clenched her tiny fist and refused to take them.

When she put the biscuits into Nian Nian’s lap, Nian Nian quickly tossed them back to her, then jumped off the chair and hid behind Shen Jiangxu.

“Alright, alright, I won’t give them to you. Come sit over here.”

Nian Nian wasn’t fooled. She held Shen Jiangxu’s hand and sat down right next to her.

Bai Youxi wiggled the biscuit bag with two fingers, looking at Shen Jiangxu, wondering if she should offer them to her.

Just as she was thinking, Aunt Tong, who hadn’t appeared until now, walked over, carrying several steaming hot food bags.

Shen Jiangxu took one from the bags and handed it to Bai Youxi. “Tide yourself over first.”

Only then did Bai Youxi understand Shen Jiangxu’s composure.

However, she didn’t get to eat it. As soon as she took it, the clinic door opened.

The doctor explained her current situation in detail and the necessity of customizing a regulating tube.

“Since your regulating tube just broke, there should be a buffer period for the next few days, but after that, your pheromones are very likely to go out of control, triggering your rut.”

“Customizing a regulating tube might take about a month, and we must wait until your condition stabilizes before implantation. So, we recommend installing a regulating ring first to record your data during this rut and then determine the customization parameters…”

“We don’t recommend you be hospitalized. The test shows your pheromones have reached S-level. Losing control could cause a riot in the hospital…”

“…This is your family member, right? Try to keep…”

“Not a family member.” Bai Youxi interrupted the doctor, her face feeling hot.

The doctor glanced at the serious looking pair one adult, one small listening behind her, then understood. “Ah, my apologies. In short, don’t be alone, and it’s best not to travel far. Even after re-implantation, there’s a six month observation period, so be extra careful.”

Bai Youxi nodded in agreement, her mind a bit numb.

“Take this slip to pay the fee, then go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. I’ll install the regulating ring for you… Leave a phone number, feel free to contact us with any issues.”

Bai Youxi was startled, feeling a little troubled. “No need, I can come at any time…”

Shen Jiangxu interrupted her. “Leave mine.”

After speaking, she exchanged contact information with the doctor, then took Nian Nian out to pay the fee and get the medicine, leaving Bai Youxi in the room.

She sat sideways on the chair, staring blankly at the clinic door. The egg pancake she held in her hand radiated heat relentlessly, warming her palm.

The regulating ring did not need to be implanted internally, was only effective for three months, and, although its effect was not as good as the regulating tube, it was conveniently installed.

The doctor prescribed the one with the maximum parameters and placed it behind her ear instead of the usual placement on the upper arm. She was told to come back for a review every week.

When she walked out of the hospital, she carried a paper bag containing a ten day supply of strong inhibitors and blocker patches.

Her nape had also been treated; medicine was applied, and a gauze pad was taped on, but the broken regulating tube had not been removed yet.

Looking at Shen Jiangxu and Nian Nian walking ahead, Bai Youxi stopped. “Thank you!”

The two ahead stopped and turned to look at her.

Bai Youxi put on a smile. “Thank you for staying with me so late. I will definitely visit you to express my gratitude later.”

Shen Jiangxu ignored her. “Where are you going?”

Bai Youxi was stunned, thinking Shen Jiangxu wanted to give her a ride, and quickly refused, “I haven’t decided which way to go yet. You two go ahead, don’t worry about me.”

The night she met Nian Nian, she hadn’t continued to sleep in the park. She had found a youth hostel in a small alley and worked to offset the cost of accommodation.

The owner was very kind, still giving her extra pay, calculated on a daily basis, she would work and get paid if she stayed, and no problem if she didn’t.

However, her current situation was not suitable for staying in a youth hostel. She wanted to quickly sort out her phone and money issues while she was still in the buffer period, and then check in with the police station for progress.

The car Shen Jiangxu drove looked decent, but only “decent” among ordinary people. A family driving this kind of car wouldn’t be able to afford the cost of re-implanting a regulating tube, especially since she had Nian Nian.

Even if it were just a loan, it would impact their lives.

While avoiding Bai Youxi, Shen Jiangxu had asked Nian Nian about her situation and concluded that she was practically homeless.

Although there had indeed been a misunderstanding, Bai Youxi had not, throughout this process, considered the incident to be Shen Jiangxu’s fault, nor had she made a fuss about demanding compensation.

This improved Shen Jiangxu’s impression of her, but her words were sharp. “Are you going back to the park?”

Bai Youxi subconsciously glanced at Nian Nian, then quickly looked back. Just as she was about to explain, Shen Jiangxu continued, “The doctor couldn’t predict how long the buffer period would last, so your condition is not suitable for wandering around outside. I think you should know that.”

Bai Youxi couldn’t argue.

Shen Jiangxu: “I said I would take responsibility, and that includes providing you with a place to stay and food.”

Beside them, Aunt Tong drove the car to a slow stop and waited quietly.

Shen Jiangxu nudged the small hand she was holding. Nian Nian understood and ran over to reach for Bai Youxi’s hand. “Kitten, I’m hungry. Let’s ask Mom to take us out for a big dinner.”

Shen Jiangxu pulled open the car door. “Get in the car.”

Bai Youxi wanted to refuse, but Nian Nian was pulling so hard it looked like she might fall if Bai Youxi didn’t go along.

Helpless, she could only let herself be pulled over.

Nian Nian had already gotten into the car and continued to tug at her clothes, the small, surging force finally breaking her resistance.

Shen Jiangxu was about 170 cm tall, and the height difference became noticeable when the two stood close.

Bai Youxi slightly lowered her gaze, meeting those smoky-grey eyes. “No, I really can’t go.”

However, Shen Jiangxu shoved her into the back seat, which stunned Bai Youxi. Thankfully, Nian Nian had already moved to the inner child seat.

“Stop refusing and come home with me.”

Bai Youxi stared blankly at the cold, beautiful, and vibrant face. The beautiful lips lightly uttered the words “come home,” ethereal as an illusion.

The illusion closed the car door for her.

“I promised Nian Nian that I would take the kitten home.”
