Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Blushing

Wen Yan stiffly turned her neck, meeting the female lead’s icy gaze. Facing this terrifying look, she walked over to Xu Ruozhou’s side.

Under the confused eyes of the crowd, Wen Yan, as if resigned, forcefully embraced her slender waist.

Turning her head to face the crowd, Wen Yan revealed a slightly shy smile and slowly spoke, “Ruozhou and I are truly in love.”

“Please, Uncle and Auntie, grant us your blessing.”

Crowd: ?

Fake Daughter: ???

Didn’t Wen Yan always chase after the Xu family’s eldest daughter, Xu Mingxin?

How did it turn into being in love with Xu Ruozhou?

Xu Ruozhou frowned deeply, while the fake daughter’s face turned green.

The fake daughter gave a dry laugh, “Sister Wen Yan, what are you saying? If there’s some hidden reason for this, our Xu family will absolutely not force you to marry my sister.”

After speaking, the fake daughter desperately winked at Wen Yan, signaling her to stick to the plan they had discussed beforehand.

Wen Yan wished she could gouge out her own eyes and distance herself from this attention-seeking fake daughter.

Wen Yan spoke decisively to Father and Mother Xu, raising four fingers to swear, “Ruozhou and I started dating a long time ago. Please, Uncle and Auntie, grant us your blessing!”

“Although the Wen family is not as wealthy as the Xu family, as a token of our sincerity, the Wen family will offer a seaside villa and twenty million in cash as a betrothal gift.”

A gasp went through the crowd.

This level of betrothal gift, while not as extravagant as those from top-tier wealthy families, was already very respectable for an ordinary family.

In front of Xu Ruozhou’s parents, Wen Yan gazed affectionately at the female lead in her arms, but her eyes conveyed urgent pleading, blinking desperately at her, hoping she wouldn’t expose her in this situation.

Xu Ruozhou frowned. Although she didn’t know the purpose of the Alpha Xu Mingxin had found to scheme against her, in the public eye, this was already the best solution she could think of.

Ignoring the pair of dark eyes that were blinking frantically at her, Xu Ruozhou pursed her lips and went along with Wen Yan’s words, saying, “Mother, Father, Wen Yan and I are truly in love. We were already planning to get married. It was just that I had just been recognized by the family and didn’t feel comfortable bringing it up to you, which led to today’s misunderstanding.”

Wen Yan nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu looked stunned, the crowd exchanged glances, and the fake daughter showed an expression of disbelief.

The crowd was silent for a while.

Suddenly, someone whispered, “Didn’t the Xu family’s youngest daughter say she broke down the door because her sister’s pheromones were leaking and she was worried about her safety? Turns out she didn’t even know her sister was dating an Alpha.”

Mr. and Mrs. Xu also looked somewhat reprovingly at their youngest daughter, who had been spoiled since childhood. Tears instantly flowed from the fake daughter’s eyes.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were dating the Wen family’s Alpha, Sister? You made me misunderstand.”

“I passed by Sister’s room, smelled the Omega’s heat pheromones, and also smelled an Alpha’s pheromones. I was worried about Sister’s reputation, so I brought people to break down the door.”

The fake daughter’s pitiful eyes blinked at Wen Yan, as if blaming her for not following the pre-arranged plan. Her endearing gaze finally fell upon Xu Ruozhou, as if she was holding back a stomach full of grievances, “Anyway, as long as you’re okay, Sister.”

The crowd sighed.

“The Xu family’s youngest daughter was just being kind.”

Mr. and Mrs. Xu were even more partial, immediately turning to Xu Ruozhou and saying, “Your sister was just worried about you. Mingxin is sometimes too kind and occasionally makes mistakes. As the older sister, you should be more magnanimous.”

Xu Ruozhou hid the sarcasm in her heart, the corner of her lips curving into a wry smile, “Of course, I know Mingxin meant well.”

Xu Ruozhou stepped forward and took the fake daughter’s wrist, “Don’t be mad at your sister, little sister. Wen Yan is in the middle of her career ascent; publicly announcing our relationship would affect the company’s stock price, which is why I didn’t tell you.”

Everyone knew Wen Yan was a useless person. Only an idiot would believe that her dating would affect the stock price. The fake daughter gave an awkward laugh, “How could I blame you, Sister?”

Mr. and Mrs. Xu smiled kindly and with satisfaction as they watched the sisters interact affectionately.

The shame brought upon the family by their recently acknowledged Omega daughter being marked by an Alpha also dissipated because of her impending marriage.

After all, an Omega was bound to marry an Alpha sooner or later. Even if it was the useless Alpha from the Wen family, they were still a top-tier wealthy family in their circle, barely qualifying as a “match” for the Xu family.

Looking at the scene where Xu Ruozhou and Xu Mingxin were chatting and smiling, Wen Yan rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.

The female lead’s depth was truly beyond what an ordinary person could compare to. Even after being ganged up on and schemed against, she could conceal the monstrous hatred in her heart and play along with this family to secure the portion of the inheritance that belonged to her.

If she didn’t know the plot, she might have also been fooled by the apparent mutual affection displayed by this pair of ‘plastic sisters,’ Xu Ruozhou and Xu Mingxin.

If she remembered correctly, by this point in the plot, the female lead had already planted several spies within the Xu family, thoroughly investigating the preferences of Father Xu, Mother Xu, and the fake daughter.

Such a person was truly not someone a novice like her could provoke.

Wen Yan subconsciously loosened her grip, moving slightly away from the female lead. Xu Ruozhou glanced at her, her expression unchanged, but the hand hidden behind her back fiercely pinched the soft flesh on Wen Yan’s lower back, pulling her back again, with a somewhat reckless attitude of, if we’re going to act, let’s go all the way.

Wen Yan: QAQ

Although Mother Xu had doubts as to why her newly acknowledged daughter would suddenly get involved with the Alpha who had been pursuing Mingxin, she had always looked down upon the Wen family’s Alpha who pursued her most cherished daughter. Now, being able to marry off the disliked Xu Ruozhou to this useless Wen family Alpha actually saved her some trouble.

Mother Xu slowly spoke, “Since the two of you are in love, the wedding will be set for the end of this month. Although the Xu family is marrying off a daughter, we will definitely not mistreat you. After the marriage, the Xu family will allocate 5% of the shares to both of you. You can discuss how to divide it yourselves. Consider it as the seed money from us, as parents, for you to establish your own home.”

Hearing this, the fake daughter instantly looked up, “Mom!”

Mother Xu patted her daughter’s back to reassure her. A trace of coldness flashed through Xu Ruozhou’s eyes. Wen Yan knew that the female lead’s goal had been achieved. In the original book, Xu Ruozhou’s purpose for marrying the original host, this useless person, was precisely to obtain shares in the Xu Group.

The matter was dramatically picked up and then gently put down.

The crowd, losing interest in the gossip, dispersed.

The hotel manager walked up to Xu Ruozhou, “Ms. Xu.”

“I apologize for disturbing your rest. We will upgrade you and your Alpha to a larger suite, and the cost of tonight’s accommodation will be covered by us. Do you find this arrangement acceptable?”

Xu Ruozhou nodded and smiled at her, “Of course. Thank you, Manager.”

The two followed the hotel manager, acting like a couple of newlyweds deeply in love all the way, until the door of the suite closed. Only then did Xu Ruozhou drop her smile, quickly let go of Wen Yan’s hand, and maintain a great distance from her.

Xu Ruozhou casually tossed Wen Yan’s jacket onto the floor and went into the room to change back into her original clothes. Wen Yan, feeling helpless, could only stand in place and wait. When the closed bedroom door opened again, Wen Yan’s Adam’s apple bobbed with difficulty, “That… I…”

Xu Ruozhou’s icy gaze pierced her. Her small, beautiful red lips uttered the most cutting words, “Wen Yan, I don’t care what your intentions were. Even if you say you cooperated with Xu Mingxin’s drugging because you like me, it doesn’t change the fact that you forcibly marked me.”

Wen Yan nodded seriously. Although the drugging was done by the original host, it was indeed the current her who had marked the female lead.

Xu Ruozhou looked at her suspiciously. Wen Yan’s frantically bobbing head paused slightly. She seemed to be acting too friendly.

The original host was an arrogant and conceited Alpha, absolutely incapable of speaking gently to an Omega who was naturally in a disadvantaged position.

Wen Yan couldn’t think of any harsh words to display Alpha dominance. After much deliberation, she finally blurted out, “Xu Ruozhou, you only dare to talk to me like this because you know I like you!”

Xu Ruozhou’s gaze became even stranger.

Wen Yan felt as if a fire was burning under her skin, scorching from her neck to her cheeks and ears.

The original host looked exactly like her, and she hadn’t expected the habit of blushing when embarrassed to have transferred over as well.

From Xu Ruozhou’s perspective, the usually arrogant Alpha’s entire face was flushed, like a freshly ripened Fuji apple. Even the earlobe with the earring was stained with a beautiful pink.

Xu Ruozhou’s reddish-brown eyes held a hint of scrutiny. Seeing the Alpha with her head bowed, staring at the floor, completely unwilling to make eye contact, and thoroughly flushed, she felt doubt about her judgment for the first time.

Could it be that this Wen Yan, who had been chasing Xu Mingxin, genuinely liked her?

Wen Yan raised both hands and sharply slapped her own uncooperative cheeks, attempting to use physical therapy to cool herself down. Instead, the slaps left two handprints on her face. Not only did it not improve, but she looked even redder. Xu Ruozhou stared at her with the eyes of someone watching a simpleton.

Wen Yan, covering her profusely red face, embarrassingly rushed into the bathroom.

Xu Ruozhou: ……

Accompanying the sound of the bathroom door being locked, after a long silence, the corners of Xu Ruozhou’s lips curled into a very faint arc.

Wen Yan stared at the mirror, ten times the size of her face, repeatedly applying a cool, wet towel to her hot, burning cheeks. Looking at her own embarrassingly flushed face, she hung her head and screamed internally.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!

Is the female lead so sharp that she’s discovered something? Will the rest of my life be spent in a wheelchair?

Wuwuwuwuwu, oh my goodness, what should I do? TvT

A few minutes later, the bathroom door was gently knocked. Wen Yan mentally cheered herself on, and while unlocking the door, she used her fiercest tone, “What do you want? Didn’t you see I was…”

“Hmm?”

Wen Yan tried to pull the door open a couple of times.

“Hmm?!!!”

The door wouldn’t open.

The person outside the door didn’t move, and the knocking Xu Ruozhou frowned slightly, “Wen Yan, aren’t you coming out?”

The person inside replied, “Uh, you go first. I have a bit of diarrhea.”

Xu Ruozhou crossed her arms and examined the tightly closed bathroom door. Through the translucent glass door, she saw a dark silhouette squatting down.

Realizing what was happening inside, her slightly furrowed brows gradually smoothed out. She tried to suppress a laugh, but the corners of her mouth still uncontrollably curved upwards.

“Wen Yan, don’t tell me you’re locked inside the door.”
