Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 30

Song Yuan stepped forward, approaching Yu Jin with a sincere demeanor.

“Ah Jin, I’ll confess everything you want to know. Please don’t be angry anymore, alright?” Yu Jin remained silent, quietly waiting for Song Yuan to continue.

“It’s my fault that you turned into an Omega and lost control of your pheromones. I caused this outcome, but rest assured, I will take full responsibility.”

Yu Jin’s expression shifted slightly; the implication in Song Yuan’s words was clear.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again, “So, you’ve remembered everything that happened five years ago?”

Previously, Song Yuan had kept it from her, worried that Yu Jin wouldn’t want her to know about the events of five years ago after all, Yu Jin was such a proud person.

But judging by Yu Jin’s attitude after waking up today, it seemed she didn’t mind Song Yuan knowing.

Song Yuan nodded, “Yes, I’ve remembered everything.”

Including every detail of that night, the moment she recalled it, it felt as vivid as if it had happened just yesterday.

At the thought of those events, Song Yuan couldn’t help but blush, her face growing warm.

Witnessing this, Yu Jin was instantly furious! She glared at Song Yuan angrily.

Her eyes slightly reddened, fists clenched tightly, she vented with a low curse, “Song Yuan! You really are a scoundrel!”

Seeing Yu Jin like this, Song Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and heartache.

She walked over and embraced Yu Jin, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll accept it.”

Hearing this, Yu Jin grew even angrier.

She clenched her fists and struck Song Yuan’s chest.

“You did such a thing to me back then, and then you turned around and forgot all about it!”

“I was perfectly fine as an Alpha, and it’s all because of you! You’re the reason I ended up like this!”

“Even if you admit your mistakes and apologize now, what does it matter? Time can’t be reversed, nothing can change. I’m already an Omega!”

As Yu Jin continued to vent, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

For so many years, she had carefully concealed her gender, terrified that someone might discover she was an Omega. Unable to accept the change, she had injected various suppressants.

During each heat, no matter how hard she tried to restrain herself, the physical changes were irreversible. She could only endure it helplessly and passively.

Seeing Yu Jin in such a state, Song Yuan’s heart ached. She reached out to wipe away Yu Jin’s tears.

“You’re right, I am a scoundrel. It’s all my fault. Ah Jin, please don’t cry.”

But Yu Jin had been living under such repression all these years. Now that Song Yuan knew everything, the weight in her heart loosened, and she let her emotions pour out recklessly.

She trembled with sobs, her emotions running high. Her voice grew hoarse from crying, and her eyes were as red as they could be.

Song Yuan held Yu Jin, gently stroking her back in a soothing rhythm.

“All of this is my fault. I’m the one who caused you to become like this, and I can’t turn back time for you.”

“Ah Jin, stop crying. You can hit me or scold me, but please don’t cry anymore. Crying too much hurts your spirit and your body.”

“You said I’m a scoundrel, right? It’s not worth crying over someone like me.”

Yu Jin continued to sob, her voice choked with tears.

Song Yuan felt her heart ache with every one of Yu Jin’s sobs.

“I may have forgotten what happened five years ago, but from now on, I will treat you well. Whatever you say, I will do it. I will do everything in my power to make it up to you.”

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly. During this period, Song Yuan gently comforted Yu Jin. After crying her heart out, Yu Jin finally released the pent-up grievances of many years and gradually calmed down.

Once Yu Jin stopped crying and her emotions stabilized, Song Yuan fetched an ice pack from the refrigerator to soothe her swollen eyes and poured her a glass of honey lemon water.

They sat down on the sofa, and only then could Song Yuan properly discuss things with Yu Jin.

“Five years ago was truly my fault, A Jin. What do you want me to do?”

In truth, Yu Jin had been suppressing her feelings for too long, unable to share her grievances with anyone else, which had led to her harboring resentment toward Song Yuan.

But after the emotional outburst, all the pent-up resentment in Yu Jin’s heart had been released. Now, as she looked at Song Yuan’s earnest expression, her mind went blank, and she had no idea what to do next.

Should she demand compensation for the emotional distress she had endured over the years?

Or should she make Song Yuan kneel and apologize?

Or perhaps some other form of reparation?

After thinking it over for a long time, Yu Jin couldn’t come up with anything she truly wanted.

Although Song Yuan had done something to her five years ago, turning her into an Omega, Song Yuan had been drunk at the time.

Deep down, Yu Jin didn’t actually want any compensation from Song Yuan. It was just that the years of suppression had made her unable to resist blaming Song Yuan.

If she were to be honest, the person she and Song Yuan had wronged the most over the years was Luoluo.

Luoluo had grown up missing the love of her other parent, raised solely by Yu Jin.

But due to the changes in her own body and work-related issues, Yu Jin had failed to pay enough attention to Luoluo’s emotional well-being, leading to deviations in her personality and some psychological issues.

Every time Yu Jin thought about this, she felt immensely guilty toward Luoluo.

Now that Song Yuan had remembered the past, she also bore responsibility for Luoluo’s situation.

Although Yu Jin didn’t need anything for herself, Luoluo needed Song Yuan.

Moreover, during this time, Yu Jin had noticed that Luoluo’s personality had become much brighter than before. She was slowly improving.

Thinking of this, Yu Jin spoke up.

“I am an adult, and I make my own decisions. You don’t need to compensate me for what happened five years ago. No matter what you do, it won’t change anything for me, and I can’t go back to how I was before.”

“But as for Luoluo, she is still young. Because of my issues and our family situation, her personality has been affected, and she has some psychological problems. If you truly want to make amends, then make it up to Luoluo.”

“Since you remember what happened five years ago, you should know that Luoluo is your daughter, and she is your responsibility too.”

When Song Yuan first met Luoluo, she had taken her for a psychological evaluation and was aware of her condition.

The thought of such a lovely and well-behaved child like Luoluo being affected psychologically due to a lack of companionship and other issues over the past five years filled Song Yuan with deep remorse.

If she hadn’t forgotten, perhaps the relationship between her, Yu Jin, and Luoluo would have been different.

Would Luoluo become more cheerful than she is now, no longer so cautious, no longer disliking contact with the outside world, and no longer closing off her heart?

If given a chance to start over, Song Yuan would definitely take good care of Yu Jin.

She took a deep breath and looked at Yu Jin: “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t lost my memory back then, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

“But now that it’s happened, Luoluo needs both of us by her side to slowly get better.”

“I have a suggestion that could benefit Luoluo’s mental health.”

Yu Jin asked, “What suggestion?”

“Ah Jin, let’s get married.”

Yu Jin frowned, her voice rising slightly.

“Song Yuan, have you lost your mind?”

Song Yuan shook her head gently, not angry but explaining seriously, “I haven’t lost my mind. This is a decision I’ve made after careful consideration.”

“I took Luoluo to see a psychologist before. Right now, she really needs our companionship. If we get married and live together, Luoluo will be happy, and it will be good for her psychological development.”

Through their interactions during this time, Song Yuan had realized that Luoluo was a very sensitive child, introverted and reserved. She might keep some thoughts bottled up inside, saying nothing.

If Song Yuan were even slightly negligent, she might miss out on understanding Luoluo’s inner world.

Yu Jin looked at Song Yuan with suspicion, her emotions somewhat complicated.

Hadn’t Song Yuan disliked her before? Why did she suddenly want to marry her? Was it really just for Luoluo’s sake, with no other motives?

Song Yuan noticed the doubt in Yu Jin’s eyes and quickly explained.

“A fake marriage! Not a real one! It’s just so we can take better care of Luoluo!”

“Of course, if you need anything, I’ll be there for you anytime.”

Song Yuan had originally thought that since Yu Jin suffered from hormonal imbalance syndrome and couldn’t recover in a short time, and now that she had regained her memories, it was her duty to help Yu Jin regulate her hormones.

Besides, she and Yu Jin had already been intimate, and Yu Jin had previously expressed needing her help.

But Song Yuan didn’t expect that as soon as she spoke, Yu Jin, flushed with anger, raised her hand to slap her again.

Seeing this, Song Yuan grabbed Yu Jin’s wrist, preventing the slap from landing.

“Could you not hit my face?” Song Yuan said with a wry smile. “Ah Jin, how about hitting somewhere else?”

“After all, I rely on my looks to make a living. If you ruin my face, how am I supposed to earn money to support the family?”

Song Yuan joked as she released Yu Jin’s hand.

Hearing this, Yu Jin actually felt a bit embarrassed. She had indeed been too impulsive just now and shouldn’t have acted that way.

But Yu Jin didn’t understand why, every time she encountered Song Yuan, she seemed to lose control of her emotions, as if she weren’t herself anymore.

She changed the subject, “What exactly happened five years ago? I clearly remember you weren’t drunk at the variety show banquet back then.”

When Yu Jin asked, Song Yuan’s expression turned troubled.

Yu Jin waited for a while but received no answer, her face growing cold.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t force yourself.”

As Yu Jin spoke, she stood up to leave.

But just as she took a step, her wrist was grabbed once again by Song Yuan.

“Don’t go!”

“Don’t go. Let me explain. I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

Even in her anger, Yu Jin could detect the faint trace of sorrow in Song Yuan’s voice.

Yu Jin stopped in her tracks and turned back, studying Song Yuan carefully.

Song Yuan’s features were strikingly beautiful, yet now they were clouded with profound melancholy.

“What exactly happened back then?” Yu Jin asked, her tone noticeably softer than before.

Song Yuan lifted her gaze to the sky outside, overcast with dark clouds that mirrored her own heart.

“Actually, I once had a happy and complete family too.”

In the beginning, the two of them cherished each other deeply, sharing sweet moments every day filled with love. It was in this atmosphere of affection that they welcomed their love’s crystallization Song Yuan herself!

Since childhood, Song Yuan had been dearly loved, basking in the warmth and affection from both her mother and her other mother. Back then, she understood nothing, believing this beautiful relationship would last forever.

But just as she was lost in those bubble-like fantasies, she and her mother waited at home for her other mother to return and celebrate her birthday.

That day, they waited for what felt like an eternity, as if time itself had reached its end, yet her other mother never came.

That day, just like today, was filled with pouring rain and flashes of lightning and thunder.

Song Yuan was terrified and heartbroken. She couldn’t understand why her other mother, who loved her so much and had promised to return for her birthday, would break her word.

Clutching at a sliver of hope, Song Yuan and her mother foolishly continued to wait, believing her other mother must be held up by work and would surely return once she was free.

So the two of them relied on each other, sitting in the cold house as the storm raged outside, waiting through the entire night.

The next day, her other mother did return.

But she wasn’t alone, there was another woman by her side!

That woman was dressed in high-end custom attire, adorned glamorously, and exuded a strong scent of perfume with every movement.

Song Yuan detested her instantly, yet the woman clung tightly to her other mother.

“Let go of my mother! You awful woman! Get out of our house!”

It was the first time Song Yuan had ever erupted in such fury. She grabbed a candle from the table and hurled it at the woman.

But in the next moment, her usually doting other mother intercepted the candle and glared at Song Yuan with a fierce expression.

It was the first time Song Yuan had been looked at with such cold and terrifying eyes by her other mother. In that instant, the woman before her no longer felt like her mother, she seemed like a complete stranger.

“Xiao Yuan! What are you doing?”

“Who said you could be so rude?”

“This aunt has helped me a lot. How could you attack her?”

Her other mother’s voice was icy as she scolded Song Yuan.

Song Yuan was utterly frightened, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.

The wicked woman, meanwhile, secretly sneered with a cold smile, truly despicable.

“She’s just a child, and surely didn’t mean any harm. She must have been worried about you, you didn’t come home all night, so of course they would be concerned.”

The wicked woman spoke with a mocking tone, glancing at Song Yuan’s mother and surveying the surroundings of their home.

A look of disdain crossed her face, but none of it was noticed by Song Yuan’s mother.

It was as if everything was merely a performance put on for Song Yuan and her mother.

Furious, Song Yuan picked up a water glass to hurl at the wicked woman, but her mother stopped her again and shoved her aside, causing her to fall into a pile of broken glass fragments.

Her mother, who had been watching the two with a stiff expression, immediately tried to intervene when she saw Song Yuan get hurt.

But she was no match for Song Yuan’s mother and was also pushed into the broken glass, collapsing beside Song Yuan.

And once she fell, she never got up again!

Seeing her mother lose consciousness, Song Yuan cried, screamed, and begged her mother to call for help to save her.

But her mother assumed it was all an act. Only when the pool of blood grew larger did she snap out of it, growing fearful and quickly arranging for someone to take Song Yuan’s mother to the hospital.

After an examination, the doctor said that Song Yuan’s mother was seriously ill and needed proper treatment and emotional stability.

Song Yuan was still too young at the time even if she wanted to care for her mother, she couldn’t.

Her mother simply gave them a sum of money and left them to fend for themselves in the hospital. For a long time afterward, Song Yuan never saw her mother again.

The next time she heard news of her mother was on television, where she saw her marrying the wicked woman who had caused her mother’s illness!

It was unclear whether the wicked woman had done it intentionally, but news of their wedding appeared on every channel.

No matter how hard Song Yuan tried to avoid it, every program she switched to showed footage of her mother marrying that wicked woman!

At first, she tried to hide it from her mother, but somehow, her mother found out anyway.

Upon hearing the news, Song Yuan’s mother coughed up a mouthful of blood! Her condition worsened drastically, and she never recovered.

Song Yuan stayed by her mother’s side, and her mother told her not to seek out her other mother.

Since her mother had abandoned them to marry a wealthy woman, they were to have nothing more to do with her and would never interact with her again.

Gradually, Song Yuan noticed her mother’s complexion improving and her mood lightening, as if she had come to terms with reality and was slowly returning to normal.

Song Yuan was overjoyed, waiting for her mother to smile again, tell stories, and share jokes as she once had.

But one day, after Song Yuan had stepped away for just a moment, she returned to find her mother had stopped breathing.

How could this be? Song Yuan refused to believe it. Her mother’s condition had been improving, why would she pass away so suddenly?

This doubt weighed heavily on her heart, and she began to suspect that her mother might have been murdered.

From that day on, she carried her mother’s hopes alone, determined to live well in this world.

She had thought she would never have any contact with her mother again in this lifetime, but just a few years later, that woman suddenly showed up, wanting to acknowledge her and bring her back home. Song Yuan decisively refused.

Yet Song Yuan’s mother threatened to ruin her career!

“Everything I have, I fought tooth and nail to earn. What right does she have to destroy it all just because I refused?”

Song Yuan let out a cold laugh, feeling everything was utterly absurd her own existence was absurd, her experiences were absurd. It was as if everything had been prearranged, as if she was born into this world solely to endure hardships.

Yu Jin listened quietly nearby, her expression equally somber.

She asked, “So that’s why you drank so much that night and ended up in that situation with me?”

Song Yuan nodded, then looked back at Yu Jin and asked, “What about you? What happened to you that day?”

Yu Jin thought of what had happened to her and felt a headache coming on.

She said, “At the time, someone had drugged me.”

As for who had drugged her, Yu Jin didn’t elaborate.

For the time being, the two of them had cleared the air and reached a reconciliation. Yu Jin also agreed to Song Yuan’s proposal of marriage.
