Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Confession

Wen Yan desperately winked at the doctor, signaling her to stop talking.

The doctor looked at Wen Yan, then at the smiling Omega, and suddenly realized. “You must be CEO Wen’s wife.”

“Madame, this is a miracle! Pheromone re-development is very rare. As long as you report it to the Association, more people will join your small family.”

“You must be very proud of CEO Wen for being able to contribute to society!”

The smile on Xu Ruozhou’s face became even more brilliant. “Of course. I am extremely proud of her.”

Wen Yan: …

Aaaahhhh!

Terrified that the doctor might say something else shocking, Wen Yan hurriedly ushered her out. “Doctor, the consultation is over. You may leave now.”

“I’ll pay you double this time. Please don’t accept any more appointments from me in the future.”

Doctor: ?

“CEO Wen, I strongly recommend you participate in the AO matching organized by the Association. Your acquired S-level pheromones are truly rare, and the supply of S-level Alpha offspring is very low right now…”

“That’s enough.” Wen Yan raised her index finger, smiling. “Shh. Any more is impolite.”

After sending the troublesome person away, Wen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. As she was contemplating how to explain things to the female lead, a pair of icy hands suddenly rested on her shoulders.

Wen Yan froze. A voice as cold as ice shards came from behind her.

“When I took you to the hospital, why didn’t you tell the doctor you injected medicine that affects pheromones?”

“Why didn’t you tell me about the pheromone re-development?”

Xu Ruozhou’s smile was dazzling. “Wen Yan, you haven’t told me a single word about so many things. Were you planning to secretly marry several Omegas with high matching rates behind my back so you could discuss it with them?”

“If I hadn’t come home early, how long were you planning to deceive me?”

Xu Ruozhou ground out the last few words. Wen Yan’s legs went weak, and she nearly knelt. “Wife, listen to me!”

“Marrying several Omegas—that’s all nonsense the doctor was spouting! I never thought about marrying another Omega. Having just you in my life is enough.”

“Is that so?” The Omega’s cold voice came through. Wen Yan charmingly squeezed her shoulder. “Hehehe, Wife, you know me, don’t you?”

“I’ve been secretly in love with you since the first time in the garden! In my heart, no other Omega can compare to a single strand of your hair. How could I possibly marry another Omega~”

Wen Yan cautiously observed Xu Ruozhou, who remained expressionless, showing no reaction to her words.

Normally, as soon as she softened her tone, Xu Ruozhou would have forgiven her already.

Do I need to make a solemn vow like that time at the hotel for the female lead to believe me?

How did my newly accumulated credibility drop back to zero again?

Wen Yan was about to speak when Xu Ruozhou suddenly sneered. “Meeting in the garden?”

“Secretly loved me for a long time?”

Xu Ruozhou’s gaze turned cold. “Wen Yan.”

“Yes!” Wen Yan yelped in surprise, immediately sitting up straight. “Wife, I’m here!”

Xu Ruozhou looked at her quietly. “I can understand you not trusting me, but you shouldn’t treat me like an idiot.”

“Huh?”

Wen Yan was startled. “Wife, how could I not trust you? I trust you one hundred percent! Anything you want to know, I’ll tell you! If you don’t believe me, I’ll write down the password to my secret stash for you right now!”

The reddish-brown eyes looked over with coldness. “Heh. So you have a secret stash behind my back?”

“Uh…”

Wen Yan gave an awkward smile, trying to change the subject. “Wife, that’s not the point. Listen to my explanation…”

Xu Ruozhou’s expression grew colder bit by bit, and she finally couldn’t help but interrupt her. “Wen Yan, I’ll ask you one more time.”

“Are you keeping anything from me?”

Wen Yan hesitated. “I…”

Sensing Wen Yan’s resistance, the Omega slowly lowered her eyelashes, obscuring the disappointment in her eyes. “Wen Yan, I’ll give you three days. Think carefully before you answer. I don’t want to live in your lies anymore.”

Days and nights passed.

The deadline quickly arrived on the final day.

Wen Yan paced back and forth in front of Xu Ruozhou’s bedroom door, her expression hesitant.

Should I tell the female lead?

If I just say I transmigrated, she’ll definitely think I’m crazy.

But if I don’t confess…

The bedroom door was tightly closed. Wen Yan put her hand on the handle but still didn’t have the courage to press it. She squatted on the ground, sighing.

But if I don’t confess, I feel like I can’t hide it anymore.

Is the female lead too perceptive? The plot has only gotten this far, so how did we reach this point?

Wen Yan took out a mirror and checked her face, planning to force out a few tears.

If she didn’t prepare beforehand, she was afraid it would be difficult to cry profusely when she eventually hugged the female lead’s thigh.

Wen Yan rapidly blinked at the mirror, trying to make herself cry this way. Before she succeeded, the bedroom door behind her was suddenly pushed open. Wen Yan was startled and quickly spun around, hiding the mirror and eyedrops behind her back.

The Omega was wearing a smooth silk nightgown tonight, tied at the waist with an off-white ribbon. The ribbon cinched her slender waist. Her face was seductive, and her skin was like snow.

Wen Yan stared, her eyes glazed over, and she swallowed with difficulty. “Wife, why did you suddenly come out? Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Xu Ruozhou said flatly, “I was about to.”

She paused for half a second. “Do you want to come in?”

Wen Yan: !!!

What does that mean?

No way…

Wen Yan’s ears felt slightly hot. She said awkwardly, “That wouldn’t be appropriate, Wife. We just…”

Before she finished speaking, the door in front of her slammed shut with a bang.

The Omega’s cold, indifferent voice came through the thick door. “If you don’t want to come in, forget it.”

Wen Yan: …

Wen Yan touched her nose. “Hmph, if she won’t let me in, fine. I’ll just…”

Wen Yan cautiously pushed open the bedroom door.

A double bed came into view. The Omega was reading a book, her back to the ceiling.

Her long, beautiful legs were crossed, exposing a segment of cool, pale ankle. Seeing her enter, the reddish-brown eyes glanced at her. “If you’re coming in, why are you acting like a thief?”

Wen Yan was speechless at the retort. She walked to her side. “Wife, what book are you reading?”

The reddish-brown eyes fell on her, looking at her calmly, and then slowly revealed the book’s cover.

Illustrations of Ghosts and Gods: One Hundred Ghosts and Gods You Don’t Know About

Wen Yan: …

Seeing her expression, the Omega slowly lifted her eyelids. “Why are you quiet? Aren’t you interested in this book?”

Wen Yan shook her head. “No, I was just thinking about something.”

The reddish-brown eyes lit up. Xu Ruozhou sounded vaguely expectant. “What is it?”

Wen Yan raised her chin 45 degrees, gazing toward the ceiling. “The most expensive isn’t necessarily the most suitable. The professor at the Omega Noble Academy, while knowledgeable, might not be suitable for you. We really need to find a different teacher for the house.”

Her hint failed. Xu Ruozhou’s face turned cold. She slammed the book onto the bed and crossed her arms. “The three days are up.”

“Speak. Your answer.”

“Are you keeping anything from me?”

Wen Yan pursed her lips. “Wife, I did start liking you that day in the garden. I’ve only kept one thing from you, but I don’t know how to tell you. This place is actually…”

Xu Ruozhou looked at her calmly. “Since you don’t know how to say it, let me ask you.”

The Omega’s reddish-brown eyes were fixed on Wen Yan, not missing any potential micro-expressions. “Wen Yan, are you human or a ghost?”

Wen Yan’s eyes widened. “Wife, what are you saying? Of course, I’m human!”

Xu Ruozhou frowned deeply. “Wen Yan, stop lying to me. I already had your hair checked. Your DNA is exactly the same as before, but your habits and personality are completely different now. You are one person, but also not one person.”

Wen Yan was stunned. She finally began to realize the implications, her gaze falling on the open book on the bed.

So the female lead inviting her in wasn’t to…

Xu Ruozhou sighed, pressing on Wen Yan’s shoulders. “Wen Yan, why won’t you tell me? Are you afraid I’ll be scared? I’m not that timid. Even if you are a ghost, my treatment of you will absolutely not change.”

Wen Yan wanted to cry but couldn’t. “Wife, I’m really not a ghost. I’m human—”

Xu Ruozhou frowned. Wen Yan sighed, finally making up her mind. “Wife, I’ll tell you the truth.”

“The world you are in is just a novel. Everything is fake. Everyone has a predetermined destiny. You are the female lead of this book, and your ending…”

Recalling the book’s ending, Wen Yan’s gaze toward Xu Ruozhou gradually became complicated.

The rain fell incessantly, as if the sky had ripped open.

The downpour came, endless, like a catastrophe that would never cease.

Xu Mingxin knelt in the rain, her clothes tattered, frantically clutching at her hair, muttering, “No, impossible. It shouldn’t be like this. I’m clearly the protagonist! I am, I am!”

As if suddenly coming to a realization, Xu Mingxin laughed hysterically. “Xu Ruozhou, you stole my perfect life. This world won’t forgive you!”

The fake daughter stared with bloodshot eyes, spitting viciously, “You will surely face retribution!”

Xu Ruozhou watched her expressionlessly, pushing away the umbrella that Lin Xi held for her.

She stepped into the downpour, slowly squatting down. Staring at the fake daughter’s scarlet eyes, she grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up.

Xu Ruozhou’s voice was cold. “You say I stole your life. Then tell me, what was your original life like?”

The fake daughter gestured wildly, as if lost in a beautiful dream. “Everyone loved me and revolved around me. Although I wasn’t biologically related, Mother Xu treated me the same. Every Alpha who saw me liked me. I would eventually marry an excellent Alpha with S-level pheromones and live a happy life. And you—”

Xu Mingxin’s tone shifted, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins. She gritted her teeth. “And you would have your scent gland cut out, be shunned by everyone, and finally die on a desolate, rainy night. My Alpha and I would drive past and, out of kindness, seeing as you were once family, we’d throw your corpse into a small dirt pit, letting you die a fitting death.”

Xu Ruozhou let out a cold laugh. “That’s your perfect life?”

Xu Mingxin frowned deeply. The curve of Xu Ruozhou’s lips grew wider.

“Your so-called perfect life is marrying a rich and capable Alpha?”

“Such low ambition. I wonder what kind of idiot would write you as the female lead.”

Xu Mingxin was stunned. “Xu Ruozhou, what do you mean?”

“It seems you are just as much of an idiot. You’ve realized the future, yet you’re still drowning in fantasy, unable to see the truth of this world.”

Xu Ruozhou slowly stood up, cracking her finger joints. Her expression was cold. “I don’t mean anything. I just find it boring. I thought you would be different, but you are just as meaningless as this paper-thin world.”

Xu Mingxin was about to speak, when she suddenly froze. A dark gun muzzle pressed against her forehead. The terrifying reddish-brown eyes looked at her without emotion.

Xu Mingxin shrieked. “Xu Ruozhou, you can’t kill me!”

Lin Xi, holding the umbrella, rushed over, grabbing Xu Ruozhou’s gun-holding hand. “Master, you…”

“Bang—”

The first shot hit Lin Xi’s arm.

Lin Xi looked horrified. “Master?!”

Xu Ruozhou was impatient. “Get lost.”

“Master, I want to talk to you. Xu Mingxin still has value. We can’t just…”

Xu Ruozhou raised the muzzle. The second shot aimed at Lin Xi’s heart. Lin Xi immediately shut up, afraid to move or say another word. Xu Ruozhou’s tone was icy. “An NPC who can’t even awaken self-awareness isn’t qualified to talk to me.”

Lin Xi froze. Xu Ruozhou turned around, pressing the muzzle against the fake daughter’s forehead again. Seeing a liquid around her that was clearly a different color than the rainwater, Xu Ruozhou’s lips curved into a very faint arc, her tone malicious. “Is this our favored little princess?”

“Why are you so scared of the villain? Where are those Alphas who surround you?”

“Why didn’t they come to protect you?”

Xu Mingxin was terrified, shouting with a whimper, “Xu Ruozhou, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, this world will collapse, and you won’t survive either!”

The downpour poured endlessly. The damp moisture made everyone feel sticky. Xu Ruozhou shrugged carelessly. “Is that so?”

The fake daughter’s eyes lit up. She nodded eagerly, thinking she saw hope. “Y-Yes, as long as we coexist peacefully, this world won’t collap…”

“Bang—”

The second gunshot.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky. Everything was silent except for the overwhelming sound of rain.

The rainwater diluted the blood stains on the ground. Xu Ruozhou dropped the gun, her reddish-brown eyes looking up at the tear in the sky.

The torrential rain fell from there.

The rain gradually blurred her view of the sky, but her gaze pierced through the cracked seam.

And saw a world far beyond.

The End.

Xu Ruozhou frowned. “Are you saying this is a novel, and I, as the female lead, eventually destroyed this world?”

Wen Yan nodded, scratching her head awkwardly. “Actually, this novel had a dual-perspective narrative. As a reader, I didn’t know who the main character was at first, but I was firmly on your side throughout the serialization. I…”

A hurried knock interrupted their conversation.

Wen Yan was about to open the door when she suddenly heard fierce fighting outside. A familiar female voice was mixed in, and Wen Yan recognized it as Lin Xi’s.

“Master, don’t open the door.”
