Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Taking Responsibility

Xu Ruozhou didn’t expect Wen Yan to be so pure. She found it somewhat amusing. “Wedding night?”

“If I recall correctly, Wen Yan, I am your legal wife.”

“But…”

Wen Yan pursed her lips. “We haven’t had the wedding ceremony yet.”

Xu Ruozhou explained with extra patience. “Although we haven’t held a wedding, we have completed the marriage registration. Moreover, everyone in the social circle knows I married into the Wen family, and my family has also visited our new home.”

“According to the customs here, we are already a legal wife-and-wife couple, so…”

Xu Ruozhou curved her lips, ambiguously licking her fingers, her voice hoarse and captivating. “In our current state, you can do anything you want to me.”

Xu Ruozhou carefully watched Wen Yan’s expression. Seeing she still looked unwilling, her face gradually grew cold. “You are still unwilling?”

Xu Ruozhou’s tone was hostile. “Wen Yan, are you hiding something from me?”

“That’s why you’ve always refused.”

Wen Yan nodded slightly, her head buried between her legs. Xu Ruozhou’s eyes instantly sharpened. “You’re married?”

“Huh?”

Not answering directly meant admitting it.

Xu Ruozhou’s face grew colder and colder, radiating a dangerous aura all over.

Her voice was icy. “Not only do you have a family, but you also have several children, right?”

“What?”

Xu Ruozhou initially wanted to sneer, but her throat felt blocked by something, preventing her from speaking. Her uncontrollable eyes reddened, and warm tears flowed down her cheeks and into her collarbone.

Silent tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. Xu Ruozhou bit her lower lip, her voice trembling. “If that’s the case, why did you come to provoke me and make me fall for you?”

Wen Yan was at a loss watching this scene. She looked around but couldn’t find a box of tissues. She could only raise her hand, intending to wipe away Xu Ruozhou’s tears, but Xu Ruozhou turned her face away to avoid her.

Wen Yan’s hand paused awkwardly in the air. She stammered, “Wife, listen to me. It’s not what you think!”

Suddenly remembering something, Wen Yan paused and lowered her head in frustration. “Okay, I am indeed hiding something from you…”

“But honestly, it shouldn’t be a big deal.”

Xu Ruozhou lowered her eyes in disappointment. “That’s enough.”

Wen Yan was given the order to leave. Xu Ruozhou said, “I don’t want to hear it now. Please go out. I want to be alone.”

Xu Ruozhou looked sad. Wen Yan watched this scene, her heart aching. She didn’t know when, but every subtle expression of Xu Ruozhou could now affect her nerves.

This subtle emotion, like a silent rain falling around her, she walked on the road, completely unaware, until she looked down and realized she was already soaked.

“Wife, I didn’t mean to lie to you.”

Xu Ruozhou truly couldn’t bear to listen to Wen Yan recount her love story with another woman. She covered her ears in a gesture of willful ignorance, but Wen Yan seemed determined to speak. She hugged Xu Ruozhou tightly, her strong hand grasping Xu Ruozhou’s wrist and pulling the hand covering her ears away.

“Wife, I actually had a…”

Xu Ruozhou closed her eyes in despair, preparing to hear Wen Yan admit she already had a family.

“…A blind date.”

Xu Ruozhou: …?

Wen Yan looked regretful, slapping her forehead in self-reproach. “It’s all my fault.”

“If I had known I would meet you, I wouldn’t have listened to my family’s arrangements and met her.”

Wen Yan held up four fingers, her eyes sincere and devout like an elementary school student swearing an oath. “Wife, don’t worry. Since we are married…”

“I, Wen Yan, will definitely take responsibility for you!”

When she mentioned responsibility, Wen Yan seemed to suddenly recall something. A blush spread across her cheeks, and she wiggled her hips. “But… that kind of thing still has to wait until after the wedding, okay~”

Xu Ruozhou: …

Another misunderstanding.

Xu Ruozhou massaged her aching temples. “Just because of the wedding?”

“I really directed and performed an entire melodrama myself. It seems I have a talent for directing.” Xu Ruozhou mocked herself. Before she could figure out how to apologize, a warm touch landed on her cheek.

Xu Ruozhou raised her eyes and saw Wen Yan carefully wiping away her tears with her fingertip.

The Alpha’s voice was unbelievably gentle, like a spring breeze that could resolve all worries. “Don’t cry, Wife.”

“It’s all my fault for not making it clear to you from the start, which made you misunderstand. I promise there won’t be a next time!”

Even though it was her mistake, the person apologizing was always Wen Yan. Xu Ruozhou shook her head. “It’s not your fault. I jumped to conclusions and imposed my preoccupations onto you.”

“I’m sorry, I…”

Xu Ruozhou bit her lower lip, hugged Wen Yan’s waist, and pulled her onto the bed. “The estrus period makes me too sensitive.”

“I shouldn’t have misunderstood you for no reason, thrown a tantrum at you, and kicked you off the bed. I won’t do that again.”

“Wen Yan, I’m so cold. Let’s hug each other and sleep.”

“Okay.”

The next day.

The noon sun shone through the window, casting a warm shadow on the floor.

Aunt Wang stood in front of Wen Yan and Xu Ruozhou’s bedroom door, knocked on it, and received no response.

Aunt Wang hesitated with the broom in her hand, then walked away, but couldn’t help but mutter. “It’s already noon. Why aren’t they up yet? That’s not right.”

“It’s one thing for the Young Miss to be lazy, but why is the Madam also…”

Inside the room, Wen Yan hid under the blanket, her cheeks flushed. Hearing the fading footsteps, she leaned into Xu Ruozhou’s ear and whispered, “Wife, is she gone?”

“She’s gone.”

Wen Yan sighed in relief, stealthily crawled out of bed, and carefully hid the wet parts of the blanket where they couldn’t be seen. Xu Ruozhou looked at her, finding it amusing. “Wen Yan, what are you hiding?”

“You didn’t wet it. Didn’t you suddenly get excited last night and insist on licking…”

Wen Yan rushed over, covering Xu Ruozhou’s mouth, pleading, “Don’t say it—”

“Don’t say it, Wife, wuwuwu.”

Wen Yan was utterly mortified. Xu Ruozhou’s lips slowly curved up. She leaned into Wen Yan’s ear, her tone ambiguous. “How was it?”

“What?”

Xu Ruozhou smiled. “Was I… sweet?”

Wen Yan first nodded, her face red. Realizing she had nodded, she quickly shook her head. The curve of Xu Ruozhou’s lips grew wider. “Oh?”

“Was I not sweet?”

Wen Yan rubbed her nose, pretending to be very experienced. “What’s this about sweet or not sweet? That kind of thing is all the same, isn’t it?”

“Oh?”

Xu Ruozhou’s eyes narrowed dangerously. She grabbed Wen Yan’s ear, kissed her, and gently bit her earlobe, her voice husky. “Then why did you spend the whole night eating and smacking your lips, not letting me sleep?”

“The way you were acting, I thought it was very sweet.”

“How about I try yours next time?”

Wen Yan: !!!

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

What kind of vulgar language is that!

How could the female lead say that!

Hearing Xu Ruozhou’s words, Wen Yan subconsciously imagined Xu Ruozhou buried down there…

“…”

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Stop!

Wen Yan’s cheeks were crimson. She hung her head and asked sheepishly, “When will that be?”

She had worked extremely hard last night, and Xu Ruozhou seemed to enjoy it too. If they switched positions…

Wen Yan was genuinely curious about what that would feel like.

Xu Ruozhou chuckled softly and planted a kiss on Wen Yan’s lips. “No rush, we…”

“Have plenty of time.”

Xu Ruozhou went to work, and Wen Yan was bored.

To find something to do, she arranged for a Steinway piano to be air-freighted from the original host’s friend abroad.

Looking at the suddenly reduced number in her account, Wen Yan clutched her chest melodramatically, feeling a pang of heartache.

Fortunately, it was the end of the month. On the day the piano arrived, she received a notification text message from the bank.

“Dear Black Card VIP, your bank account has received 10,000,000 yuan this month.”

“Young Miss, why are you smiling so happily?”

Aunt Wang saw the unconcealed joy on Wen Yan’s face and couldn’t help but ask.

Wen Yan put on an enigmatic expression. “The secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed.”

Aunt Wang recalled the stains she found while washing the blankets this morning. Her eyes widened. “Is Madame pregnant?!”

“That would be wonderful news! If the Master and Madam are watching over us from the heavens, they would be happy too!”

Wen Yan: …

Wen Yan managed an awkward smile. “Uh, Ruozhou and I are not planning to have children.”

Aunt Wang frowned. “Is Madame unwilling?”

Wen Yan thought about it carefully and finally nodded.

She remembered that in the original book, Xu Ruozhou hated Alphas so much that she even did something crazy like surgically removing her scent gland to avoid being influenced by Alpha pheromones.

If she asked Xu Ruozhou to have a baby…

Wen Yan shivered. Xu Ruozhou would probably break her legs and then remove her scent gland as well.

But if both of them had their scent glands removed, they’d be quite a matching pair, wouldn’t they?

“Young Miss, how can this be!”

Aunt Wang couldn’t help but advise. “You are the only direct descendant of the Wen family. If you don’t marry an Omega who can bear children, how can the Wen family’s excellent genes be passed on?”

Excellent genes?

Was she referring to the original host’s C-grade pheromones, his short temper that flared up instantly, and his “smart” brain that was only interested in mating with Omegas and completely messed up the family business?

His level was inferior not just to Xu Ruozhou, but even to her.

The original host’s “excellent genes” should probably just be stillborn.

Wen Yan smiled. “Aunt Wang, please don’t worry about it. This kind of matter needs Ruozhou’s opinion.”

Aunt Wang was about to continue persuading, but Wen Yan quickly winked at the nearby maids doing the cleaning, signaling them to take Aunt Wang away.

With no one left to nag her, the surroundings finally became quiet.

Wen Yan returned to the bedroom and locked the door.

She sat on the piano stool, looked at the bright scenery outside the window, and prepared to play a small piece to practice.

As her long fingers pressed the first note, the phone on the bed suddenly began to vibrate.

Wen Yan was absorbed in the world of music and completely failed to hear the faint vibration until—

A crisp ringtone sounded.

Wen Yan’s piano-playing fingers paused.

This was the exclusive ringtone she had set for Xu Ruozhou.

She had specifically chosen this piece so she wouldn’t miss a call from the female lead.

Wen Yan quickly abandoned the piano and answered Xu Ruozhou’s call. Before she could speak, she heard rapid gasping sounds from the other end.

“Wen Yan, where are you?”

Wen Yan’s tone was confused. “I’m at home, Wife.”

“Don’t worry. Didn’t we agree? I definitely won’t go out alone unless you’re with me.”

Xu Ruozhou’s somewhat panicked breathing came through the phone. “Wen Yan, I don’t have time to explain.”

“No matter which room you’re in, don’t come out. I’m on my way back now. You have to be careful…”

“Wife, what did you say? Who should I be careful of?”

The phone line went dead.

Wen Yan tried to call back, but the line was constantly busy.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Wen Yan heard Aunt Wang’s voice.

“Young Miss, dinner is ready. You can come downstairs to eat.”
