Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Value

“Xu Ruozhou” gritted her teeth. “Wen Yan, are you even an Alpha?”

“I’m practically naked and in your arms, and you can still casually inject an inhibitor into your scent gland?!”

Wen Yan thought for a moment and couldn’t find a reason to refute her. This imposter had guessed correctly. There was simply no such thing as pheromones in the world she came from.

A violent slamming sound came from outside. The door was shaking precariously. Wen Yan quickly stepped aside and looked at the location where “Xu Ruozhou” was standing.

She looked at “Xu Ruozhou’s” white stockings with a shudder of disgust, rubbed the goosebumps on her arm, and kindly advised, “You should really change that face. The police are about to come in. If you’re not embarrassed, I’m embarrassed for my wife.”

“Xu Ruozhou” bit her lip and remained silent. Wen Yan sighed. “If you don’t want to change, I can lend you a jacket.”

Wen Yan saw she wasn’t speaking and thought she had agreed. She was about to grab her coat when—

“Wen Yan, how dare you insult me! Thirty years East of the river, thirty years West! I will definitely avenge the shame of today!”

A question mark slowly formed on Wen Yan’s face.

Wen Yan: ?

Sis, did you transmigrate into the wrong book?

Isn’t this a revenge/slag-abuse novel about a real and fake daughter? How did the arrogant male protagonist’s monologue show up?

“Fine.” Wen Yan shrugged. “Since you’re unwilling, you’re just a fake anyway. I’ll just let the police—”

Before she finished speaking, Wen Yan suddenly widened her eyes. “Hey, you…” What’s going on?!

“Xu Ruozhou” sneered and suddenly vanished like a ghost, leaving no trace behind, not even a single strand of hair.

The hotel door collapsed with a crash. Police officers holding laser guns rushed in, only to find the room contained only the person who reported the crime. Wen Yan stood rooted to the spot, completely thunderstruck and motionless.

The police searched the room for a long time but didn’t see anyone. They finally realized the seriousness of the issue. “Ms. Wen.”

Wen Yan rolled her eyes, still reeling from the shock, and saw the police officer’s stern expression. “Falsely reporting a crime is illegal. Please come with us.”

At the Association Police Station.

When Xu Ruozhou arrived as the family member to pick up Wen Yan, she hadn’t yet had the chance to ask what happened when she saw Wen Yan’s ashen face. She felt a pang in her heart. “Wen Yan, are you okay?”

“I know you’re not the type to falsely report a crime. Something must have happened in the hotel, right?”

Wen Yan was pale as a sheet. Instead of answering, she immediately asked a question in return. “Wife, can you help me with something?”

Xu Ruozhou quickly nodded. “Of course. What do you need me to do? As long as I can do it, I will…”

Before she finished, Wen Yan suddenly grabbed her hand. A trace of pleasant surprise crossed Xu Ruozhou’s reddish-brown eyes.

Wen Yan held her hand with lingering fear, using it to soothe the blockage in her chest.

“Wife, please, take me to pray at that temple we went to last time. I feel like I must have been insincere last time, and a heavenly punishment was sent down, which is why I experienced hallucinations today.”

Xu Ruozhou: …

The temple.

Xu Ruozhou looked at Wen Yan, who was kneeling on the prayer mat with a devout expression, and found it somewhat amusing. After Wen Yan finished donating her incense money and stepped out from the doorway, Xu Ruozhou teased, “Didn’t you say you don’t believe in these things?”

“You even hired a tutor for me before to cure my superstition. I’m afraid you’ll have to attend classes with me now.”

Wen Yan sighed and finally recounted what happened at the hotel that morning.

Xu Ruozhou was astonished after listening. “What? Someone who looks exactly like me?”

Wen Yan nodded. “She was so incredibly similar. I didn’t recognize her at all. If her pheromone scent hadn’t been different from yours, I would have almost…”

Xu Ruozhou narrowed her eyes. “You would have almost what?”

Wen Yan paused, showed a guilty expression, and squeezed her shoulder flatteringly. “How could I not recognize you, Wife? Even if her pheromone scent was the same as yours, I could definitely still spot that something was wrong.”

Xu Ruozhou glared at her, then slowly took out a slip of paper and handed it to Wen Yan. Wen Yan took the paper, curious. “What is this?”

Without mentioning what Lin Xi said before leaving, Xu Ruozhou simply said, “A note Yin Rong left before he died. I never opened it, thinking we should look at it together.”

Wen Yan was both surprised and delighted. She had thought the clue from Yin Rong was lost, but it was unexpectedly reconnected in this way. She excitedly hugged Xu Ruozhou, unable to resist giving her a loud kiss on the cheek.

“Wife, I love you to death!”

“Wuwuwu, I knew you always have a way.”

Xu Ruozhou didn’t expect Wen Yan to kiss her voluntarily. A blush spread across her cheeks. She turned her face away awkwardly, her ears slightly hot, and coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment. “You don’t need to thank me. Thank yourself.”

Wen Yan tilted her head in confusion. “Thank myself?”

“What does that mean?”

Xu Ruozhou didn’t reply, only giving her a look to quickly read the note. Wen Yan had no choice but to put aside her confusion and open the note covered in writing.

Xu Ruozhou leaned against the wall, her reddish-brown eyes fixed on Wen Yan’s face, her heart softening.

How can someone be so good-looking?

The face is beautiful, the eyes are beautiful, the nose is beautiful, and even the lips look very kissable.

Xu Ruozhou couldn’t help but wonder, did Wen Yan look like this in her other world too?

Or was it possible that Wen Yan didn’t actually look like this?

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Ruozhou’s expression suddenly cooled. She suddenly felt that this face wasn’t so good-looking after all.

Only by being associated with the name Wen Yan did this physical shell become so special in her eyes.

“Wife.”

A slightly muffled voice interrupted Xu Ruozhou’s fanciful thoughts. She turned her head and saw Wen Yan holding the note, her face serious. Xu Ruozhou was slightly surprised. “What’s wrong? Is the clue Yin Rong left very important?”

Wen Yan nodded. Xu Ruozhou frowned slightly. “What did he write?”

“He said Xu Mingxin has a problem.” Wen Yan’s face was solemn. “Wife, I have a guess, but it’s just a guess. Don’t be scared. It might not be true.”

Xu Ruozhou’s eyes signaled her to continue. Wen Yan pursed her lips. “I suspect Xu Mingxin might have been reborn.”

“Or, in a worse scenario, some kind of supernatural ability has appeared around her, helping her steer the plot of this world toward a different ending—one that…”

“They want to see more.”

Xu Ruozhou felt relieved on one hand and fearful on the other. If Wen Yan had truly listened to her and driven Lin Xi out of the Wen family, they likely wouldn’t have this note today and wouldn’t have known this information, making it impossible to guard against Xu Mingxin in advance.

“Wife, what should we do now?”

Xu Ruozhou’s expression gradually turned cold. “You should try not to go out recently. Install surveillance cameras all over the house. Given the current situation, Xu Mingxin is clearly targeting you.”

Wen Yan sighed. “Did I provoke her?”

“I wish I had transmigrated earlier. I would definitely have stayed far away from her and never given her a chance to get close to me.”

Xu Ruozhou stroked Wen Yan’s head. The soft hair gently rubbed against her palm. Xu Ruozhou comforted her softly, “You’re not the one at fault. Stay home safely, and as for Xu Mingxin…”

A hint of viciousness showed in her reddish-brown eyes. “Let me go and deal with her.”

On the third day after her wife left, Wen Yan somehow returned to her life before transmigrating.

She originally planned to struggle a bit and help Xu Ruozhou, but after bustling around for a long time, she realized she was only making things worse. Wen Yan then comfortably resigned herself to lying flat at home.

Xu Ruozhou was busy outside, running around constantly, while Wen Yan was sound asleep at home. Even Aunt Wang, who usually doted on the original host, couldn’t help but advise, “Xiaoyan, you’re the Alpha. You should be more considerate of your Omega.”

“There, there’s no Alpha who just stays home every day waiting for their Omega to support them.”

Aunt Wang’s tone was tactful, after all, she didn’t say the harsh words that Wen Yan was living off her wife.

Wen Yan casually said “Oh.” “So, there’s really no case in this world where an Alpha stays home and is supported by their Omega?”

Aunt Wang nodded and continued to counsel her. “Of course. Usually, the Alpha supports the Omega, or the two work hard together outside. Your situation is very… rare.”

“Xiaoyan, you need to contribute more, otherwise, if the contributions of the two people remain so unequal, problems will arise eventually.”

The Wen family’s company was now entirely controlled by Xu Ruozhou. Those shrewd and cunning shareholders had long since submitted to Xu Ruozhou.

Although Wen Yan was still the nominal legal representative of the company, if Xu Ruozhou wanted her out, it would only take a word.

Aunt Wang sighed. “If Madame leaves you, what will happen to the rest of us here?”

Wen Yan tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and surprisingly found Aunt Wang’s words very reasonable. She immediately cheered up, sat up from the sofa like a leaping carp, and said, “Aunt Wang, you’re right. I need to make some changes and contribute more!”

Aunt Wang was moved to tears. She had worked for the Wen family her entire life, and Wen Yan had finally listened to advice.

“Aunt Wang, go get the phone.”

Aunt Wang quickly handed the phone to Wen Yan. She thought Wen Yan was going to call Xu Ruozhou to ask to work at the company, but instead—

“Wife, what are you doing? Are you hungry?”

“Oh, oh, that sounds so hard. Wife, you are sacrificing so much for our family. Kisses.”

“Can you bring me a pineapple bun when you come back? A sweet one. What? You want to know what level of sweetness? Hmm, as sweet as you, hehe.”

Only after Wen Yan finished her call and handed the phone back to Aunt Wang did Aunt Wang recover from her shock, saying incredulously, “That’s it? You’re done?”

Wen Yan looked at her confusedly. “Yes, I’m done.”

Aunt Wang hesitated, suppressing her thoughts for a long time until her face was almost red. Finally, one sentence came out. “Xiaoyan, didn’t you say you wanted to contribute more? You, you just chatted for a few minutes?”

“Aunt Wang, you don’t understand.”

Wen Yan happily tore open a bag of potato chips and turned on a dramatic soap opera. “Young people like us focus on emotional value in relationships.”
