Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Nosebleed

The Omega, clutching the lace hem of her skirt, had eyes slightly reddened, brimming with tears that threatened to fall at any moment. Wen Yan, who knew the fake daughter’s true personality, was unconcerned, but this didn’t stop Xu Mingxin’s countless admirers from expressing their dissatisfaction with her rejection of their goddess.

A group of Alphas cast sharp, hostile glances at her. Cold sweat broke out on Wen Yan’s forehead. The original host had completely alienated all these suitors in her pursuit of Xu Mingxin.

If someone took this opportunity to pick a fight, she probably wouldn’t be able to cope. Sure enough, the worst-case scenario happened.

An Alpha who had always looked down on the original host walked up and shoved Wen Yan, causing her to stumble.

“Wen Yan, how can you speak to Mingxin like that? Are you even an Alpha anymore?”

“You blind piece of trash! Does that low-born Omega, Xu Ruozhou, who came from the countryside, even compare to our Mingxin?”

The person who pushed her was a silver-haired female Alpha, one of Xu Mingxin’s steadfast admirers. She was slightly shorter than Wen Yan, but her pheromones were clearly much stronger than the original host’s weak A-level.

The original host was labeled a “useless Alpha” despite her wealthy background precisely because her pheromone level was only C-level. Any random Alpha could crush her, making her utterly incapable of protecting any Omega by her side.

Wen Yan looked upstairs for help, only to find that Xu Ruozhou, like everyone else, was watching to see how she would handle the situation, as if enjoying a show.

Wen Yan sighed silently in her heart. Her quick wit yesterday hadn’t managed to fool the cautious female lead after all.

Wen Yan sized up the silver-haired Alpha standing before her. This person was Li Yuan, another piece of cannon fodder being strung along by Xu Mingxin. She had caused the female lead a lot of trouble for Xu Mingxin’s sake.

The silver-haired Alpha noticed the person in front of her suddenly turn grim and finally became excited, releasing some pheromones into the air. This was how it should be! Everyone pursued Xu Mingxin. Why should Wen Yan suddenly quit? Wen Yan had to like Xu Mingxin too!

The two Alphas were in a confrontation. Although both were wearing pheromone blockers, the concentration of pheromones in the air quickly rose. Many Omega companions in the vicinity were affected, some becoming weak-kneed, others dizzy.

The tears in Xu Mingxin’s eyes finally fell, and she cried charmingly, “Please, don’t fight over me again~”

Wen Yan remained completely silent, but the silver-haired Alpha suddenly realized that she was actually losing the confrontation?!

The silver-haired Alpha looked stunned, staring at Wen Yan, “Did your pheromones upgrade?”

“No… Impossible!”

“How can pheromones undergo secondary development?”

Wen Yan’s train of thought was disrupted by the inexplicable question. What upgrade? What was she talking about?

She was currently trying to figure out how to fall down without looking too embarrassing, or if she was destined to be embarrassed, how to seize the opportunity to appear pathetic and gain some sympathy from the female lead.

It wasn’t just the silver-haired Alpha; all the Alphas present felt a suffocating pressure.

The scent of Douglas Fir pheromones fiercely enveloped the lavish ballroom, adopting a completely protective stance, rendering all the surrounding Alphas immobile.

The silver-haired Alpha closest to Wen Yan couldn’t bear the pressure and was the first to collapse, clutching her head, her expression contorted in pain.

Wen Yan: ?

Am I this powerful?

Following the silver-haired Alpha’s collapse, the more distant Alphas fell like a chain of dominoes, collapsing in droves. Many Omegas with low pheromone levels even fainted from weakness.

The expressions of the Xu family hosting the banquet turned ugly. They quickly dispatched the unaffected Betas to retrieve Omega inhibitors, while another group of Betas approached Wen Yan, urging her to rein in her pheromones.

Although Wen Yan wasn’t sure what exactly was happening, she dared not show weakness at this moment. Her gaze fixed on the silver-haired Alpha kneeling on the floor, her face twisted in agony. Wen Yan said coldly, “Rein in my pheromones? Of course, but I demand an apology from her.”

The Beta spoke to the convulsing, grimacing silver-haired Alpha, “Miss Li Yuan, please just apologize. Tonight is Mingxin’s birthday banquet, and you don’t want to upset her, do you? You really should prioritize the bigger picture!”

“I’m sorry, I… I shouldn’t have pushed you, and I shouldn’t have called you trash,” Li Yuan’s whole body felt like it was being pricked with needles. Enduring the severe pain, she stammered an apology to Wen Yan.

“Not to me.”

Li Yuan was stunned, following Wen Yan’s gaze up to the elegant figure in the azure evening dress on the upper floor.

Wen Yan’s tone cooled, and the Douglas Fir pheromones in the air became piercingly cold. “I told you to apologize to my fiancée, Xu Ruozhou!”

Li Yuan finally remembered what she had said.

Xu Ruozhou, who had been observing the scene from afar upstairs, leaned on the sandalwood banister and slowly descended the staircase. With every step she took, everyone’s gaze followed the slender high heels.

The Alpha who had been so arrogant moments ago painfully crawled to her feet, raising a hand to try and grasp her red-soled high heel, but the outstretched hand was mercilessly stepped on. A crunching sound of breaking bone was heard from the back of her hand.

“Xu, Xu Ruozhou, I’m sorry.”

Xu Ruozhou glanced at her coldly. Li Yuan was one of Xu Mingxin’s fervent admirers. Ever since learning that Xu Ruozhou was the real eldest daughter, she had relentlessly targeted her at Xu Mingxin’s subtle instigation. Naturally, Xu Ruozhou showed her no kindness.

With people kneeling everywhere, only a few Omegas and Alphas with rare S-level pheromones remained standing. Xu Ruozhou had been marked by Wen Yan and was unaffected by her pheromone suppression. She walked past the vast kneeling crowd toward the only standing, tall figure.

“Wen Yan.”

Xu Ruozhou stopped in front of Wen Yan.

“Ah?” Wen Yan suddenly raised her head. Xu Ruozhou was right in front of her, but her eyes involuntarily focused on Xu Ruozhou’s dress.

The neckline of the azure backless dress was very low, revealing a large expanse of white skin on her chest. Perhaps because she had marked the female lead before, she clearly felt blood rushing upwards, and a warm flow in her throat and nasal cavity.

“Tonight is Xu Mingxin’s birthday banquet, and also a party to welcome me. Li Yuan has already apologized to me. Please withdraw your pheromones.”

“Oh, oh.”

Wen Yan didn’t know how her pheromones were released, nor how to retract them, but the Douglas Fir pheromones in the air seemed to understand their master’s intention.

The Douglas Fir pheromones circled the transparent blocker patch above the beautiful shoulder blades, nudging it affectionately, and then reluctantly retreated back into Wen Yan’s body.

Xu Ruozhou examined the Alpha standing before her. Moments ago, she had been so ferocious, but now her dark eyes were bright and sparkling, and she obediently retracted her pheromones, like a fierce, large dog that only wagged its tail at its owner.

Now, she genuinely began to believe that Wen Yan might, perhaps, truly have been just acting when dealing with Xu Mingxin.

As the pheromones were withdrawn, the Omegas present all recovered, only the Alphas, stunned by the sudden pressure, remained shaken. More foresighted people saw a business opportunity in this incident.

The heavily skewed situation of the Xu family was likely to change soon with Xu Ruozhou marrying the Wen family Alpha.

“Come with me.” Thinking about the possibility of Wen Yan liking her, Xu Ruozhou’s expression was complicated. She hesitated and reached out her hand to Wen Yan, wanting to confirm the rumors of their mutual affection in front of everyone, but found that the other party was slow to respond.

Xu Ruozhou frowned slightly, “Wen Yan?”

The black-haired Alpha covered her nose with both hands, her gaze flickering, avoiding Xu Ruozhou’s eyes, unwilling to look directly at the extremely seductive Omega in front of her.

It wasn’t until bright red blood seeped between her fair fingers that the people present understood why Wen Yan hadn’t spoken. Xu Ruozhou paused in shock, then slowly lowered her head with a delayed reaction.

Someone among the guests suddenly snickered, followed by a ripple of laughter. The wealthy heirs present scrutinized the engaged couple with teasing, yet not malicious, expressions.

Xu Ruozhou realized why Wen Yan was bleeding from her nose. Her cheeks began to burn, and her slender, swan-like neck was tinged with delicate pink. A bit mortified, she grabbed Wen Yan’s arm and pulled her away from the crowd, “Hurry up and come with me!”

With this dramatic display, nearly all the wealthy families attending the Xu family banquet now believed that the Wen family Alpha and the real eldest daughter were genuinely in love, and that the incident at the hotel was just a lovers’ quarrel.

Only Xu Mingxin, who knew the truth of the whole situation, had a dark expression, sat on the floor, and remained silent.

Wen Yan was dragged by Xu Ruozhou into a small room on the third floor. Clasping her bleeding nose, her mind was frantically composing internal essays.

[It’s over, it’s over. The female lead won’t think I’m insulting her, right?]

[Last time I marked her, there weren’t this many people around. This time, I got a nosebleed staring at her in front of all the wealthy families. The female lead must feel humiliated now. Wuwuwuwu, am I going to be fed to the sharks?]

“Wen Yan, I’m talking to you. What are you thinking about?” Xu Ruozhou said coldly. Wen Yan quickly snapped out of her fantasy about how to escape being dropped into a shark’s mouth, and showed a slightly ingratiating, pitiful expression, “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you just now.”

Xu Ruozhou pursed her lips, her tone unpleasant, “You didn’t hear me? Was I talking to a dead person just now?”

Wuwuwuwu, I knew it was over. In the female lead’s eyes, I’m already a dead person.

Wen Yan shook her head, wanting to cry. “I’m not a dead person.”

“Is that so?” Xu Ruozhou frowned slightly, her azure skirt swaying as she slowly closed the distance between herself and the Alpha who was seeking security in the corner of the wall.

They were too close. Wen Yan could even hear her own heartbeat rapidly accelerating. She instinctively held her breath. Just as their noses were about to touch, Wen Yan tightly closed her eyes. Unfortunately, that breathtakingly beautiful face stopped a few millimeters away from her.

“Wen Yan,” Xu Ruozhou narrowed her eyes dangerously. “Why do I feel like you’re very afraid of me?”
