Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Elopement

“Staying at a hotel?”

Wen Li was so angry that her entire face flushed red. She pointed at the assistant and ordered, “Call Wen Yan now and tell her to get back here!”

The assistant wiped the sweat from her face. “CEO Wen, Miss has blocked all three of my numbers. It seems she is completely determined this time. I advised her for a long time, but it didn’t work. Why don’t you try yourself?”

“Useless trash.”

Wen Li glared at the assistant. The humble employee lowered her head. Wen Li took a deep breath, took out her phone, and dialed her most familiar number. While waiting, she didn’t forget to curse, “She’s getting bold, daring to go out and get a hotel room with a woman behind my back.”

“You just wait and see how I discipline her later!”

The assistant shivered nearby, afraid to speak.

“We are sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off.” The voice of the customer service representative came through the phone. Wen Li frowned and dialed again. The same voice was heard on the other end.

The assistant standing by was sweating profusely. Wen Li frowned deeply. “What’s wrong with this child? Why is the line busy?”

The assistant timidly raised her hand. Wen Li glanced at her. “Speak.”

“CEO Wen, Miss…” The assistant tried to be subtle. Wen Li couldn’t stand her dragging it out and was very displeased. “Just speak plainly. Am I going to eat you? Hurry up and tell me, what about Wen Yan?”

The assistant gave an awkward smile.

“She blocked you.”

Wen Li: …

Wen Li was so furious she started to laugh. The assistant cautiously suggested, “CEO Wen, why don’t I borrow a number?”

“Change numbers?” Wen Li sneered. “Even if I change numbers, she won’t pick up if she hears my voice.”

Wen Li understood her daughter. Although usually cheerful and playful, when she genuinely decided to do something, she was like a stubborn mule that eight oxen couldn’t pull back, determined to see it through.

“CEO Wen, what should we do then? Just let Miss and her girlfriend stay out there?”

“How is that possible?”

Wen Li’s face turned cold. “Go and track Wen Yan’s location. Contact the hotel where they are staying. Have the front desk figure out a way to call that girl who suddenly appeared at the banquet down individually. I want to personally meet this little seductress.”

“I want to see what kind of skill she has to charm my daughter into running away from home!”

“Yes, CEO Wen.”

Wen Yan held Xu Ruozhou’s hand tightly with one hand and carried a suitcase with the other.

The hotel front desk handed the sub-card back to her. “We apologize, Miss Wen, your card has been frozen and cannot be used for consumption at this time.”

Xu Ruozhou was startled and looked at Wen Yan. Wen Yan looked calm, as if she had already anticipated this. “Try this one.”

Wen Yan handed over another card. The front desk tried swiping it again. Xu Ruozhou stared at Wen Yan’s profile, a little worried. “Wen Yan, am I causing you trouble?”

“How could you?” Wen Yan turned her head, smiling, her dark eyes sparkling. “As long as I can be with you, nothing that happens is trouble for me.”

Xu Ruozhou gripped Wen Yan’s fingers tightly. Wen Yan took a deep breath, interlacing her fingers even harder with her lover’s.

The front desk finished the transaction and handed the card back to Wen Yan. “Payment complete, Ms. Wen. Your room is on the 8th floor. The hotel’s disposable items will be sent up by the attendant shortly. We wish you a pleasant stay!”

Wen Yan took the bank card and led Xu Ruozhou toward the elevator. Xu Ruozhou tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Don’t I need to register?”

Wen Yan paused. She looked around, confirming no one was eavesdropping, then leaned into Xu Ruozhou’s ear. “Do you have an identity in this world?”

“Mhm.” Xu Ruozhou whispered. “The System told me before I came here.”

Wen Yan’s eyes widened. “I should have stolen the household register before I left!”

Xu Ruozhou gave a puzzled look. “Household register?”

“What is that? Is it useful?”

“The household register is the document used to register family members. It must be used for marriage registration.”

Wen Yan annoyedly slapped her thigh. “Wifey, do you think it’s too late for me to go home and steal it now?”

Wen Yan was joking, but Xu Ruozhou actually thought seriously for a few minutes and, combining it with the situation she knew, came up with a very reliable answer for Wen Yan.

“Darling, I think if you go back now, Auntie might break your legs.”

Wen Yan: …

Why were her legs in such danger in every world?

After swiping the card given by the front desk to open the door, Wen Yan leaped onto the soft, big bed and rolled around. Xu Ruozhou opened Wen Yan’s suitcase and saw the clothes stuffed inside in a chaotic mess, clearly packed in a hurry. She looked thoughtful.

Xu Ruozhou slowly squatted down and began folding the crumpled clothes.

“Wifey, wifey!”

Less than a minute into organizing the suitcase, the person behind her was like an underdeveloped monkey, jumping up and down, trying to attract her attention in various ways.

“Wifey, what are you doing?” Wen Yan suddenly popped up from the side and kissed her. Just as Xu Ruozhou was about to speak, Wen Yan darted away.

Xu Ruozhou sighed internally and continued folding clothes. A few seconds later, a fuzzy head leaned close again, cooing cheesily in her ear, “Wifey, don’t tidy up! Just leave it messy~”

“We have more important things to do!”

Xu Ruozhou turned her head curiously. She saw Wen Yan climb onto the bed in two or three moves, lying on her side in an extremely seductive pose. Her dark eyes held a pool of water, gazing at her eagerly. She patted the bed beside her. “Come here~”

“Let’s get naughty~”

Xu Ruozhou: …

“Get down and tidy the clothes.”

Xu Ruozhou’s expression remained unchanged, as if she had been gutting fish at the supermarket for ten years, her heart becoming incredibly cold.

Wen Yan pouted and picked up the mirror to look at herself. “I’m very beautiful.”

Xu Ruozhou gave a clear order. “Get down and tidy the clothes.”

Wen Yan reluctantly walked over and sat next to Xu Ruozhou, staring at her beautiful profile, one shoulder partially exposed, attempting to seduce her.

It didn’t work.

Wen Yan was still unwilling. She whimpered a few times, then suddenly, like a puppy, tugged at Xu Ruozhou’s sleeve with her mouth. “Come on, come on~”

Xu Ruozhou was unmoved. Wen Yan raised her face, her dark eyes watery and full of grievance. “Wifey, why are you so cold to me?”

“Don’t you love me anymore?”

Xu Ruozhou rubbed her forehead. It was the first time she thought Wen Yan’s brain circuits were abnormal. “No, I was just thinking…”

“Wuwuwu, I’m not listening, I’m not listening!” Wen Yan covered her ears, putting on a childish display of petulance. She hugged Xu Ruozhou’s arm. “You’re not allowed to say you don’t love me!”

“And you can’t abandon me! I’m already yours. I’m going to cling to you for life!”

“How could I not love you?” Xu Ruozhou sighed. “I was just thinking about how to communicate with your mother.”

Wen Yan looked incredulous. “Huh?”

“Haven’t we already run away together?”

Xu Ruozhou: …

“We ran away, but what about your mother?” Xu Ruozhou finished folding the last piece of clothing, her tone flat. “She’s not well, and you’re her only child. She’s counting on you to inherit the vast family business she’s built over the years.”

Wen Yan’s eyes dimmed slightly. “I…”

Xu Ruozhou finished organizing everything in Wen Yan’s suitcase, stood up, and handed the suitcase to Wen Yan. “Go back. Apologize to Auntie.”

“Leaving without a word, she must be very worried about you.”

“…”

It was difficult for Xu Ruozhou to make this decision, let alone Wen Yan. She gave Wen Yan a long time to think. Finally, Wen Yan stood up and accepted the suitcase from Xu Ruozhou.

“Mhm.”

Before leaving, Wen Yan turned back to look at Xu Ruozhou several times, as if seeking courage from her. Xu Ruozhou smiled and squeezed her palm gently, her voice soft. “Wen Yan, talk nicely with Auntie. Did you remember?”

“Mhm.” Wen Yan nodded, turned, and started to walk out. Xu Ruozhou paused her movement, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand. Wen Yan looked back puzzled. Xu Ruozhou pursed her lips. “Come back soon.”

“I’ll wait for you at the hotel.”

“Okay.” Wen Yan took a deep breath, finally determined. “I’ll go talk things through with my Mom.”

After Wen Yan left with the suitcase, Xu Ruozhou was left alone in the huge room.

Xu Ruozhou sat quietly on the bed where Wen Yan had just been sitting. After an unknown amount of time, she lowered her head, rubbed her forehead, and gave a bitter smile.

It had only been this long, and she was already regretting letting Wen Yan go back.

A ringing sound came from the bedroom, interrupting Xu Ruozhou’s thoughts. She thought Wen Yan had left her phone behind. Following the sound, she realized it was the hotel’s general phone.

“Hello?”

The caller was the front desk. Hearing her voice, they seemed to pause. “Hello, is this Ms. Xu?”

Xu Ruozhou slightly frowned. She didn’t answer the question, but instead counter-questioned directly, “Is there something I can help you with?”

“It’s like this. The room you and Ms. Wen booked is a presidential suite. If two people are staying simultaneously, both need to complete real-name registration.”

The front desk looked at the powerful woman standing beside her, her tone becoming cautious. “We hope you can cooperate with our work.”

Xu Ruozhou’s eyelashes fluttered. After a moment, she said softly, “Alright.”

The glittering lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Xu Ruozhou stepped out of the elevator. An extremely beautiful middle-aged woman was standing there. She carried an unimaginably expensive luxury handbag. Seeing her descend, the woman coldly scrutinized her from head to toe, as if looking at a commodity.

Xu Ruozhou offered a smile, seemingly unsurprised. She proactively walked toward her and politely extended her hand. “Auntie, nice to meet you.”

“Hmph, young people should avoid getting too familiar.”

Wen Li sneered. She didn’t even look at Xu Ruozhou’s outstretched hand. She turned around haughtily on her high heels. “Follow me.”

Xu Ruozhou had long expected Wen Yan’s mother not to give her a warm welcome. She withdrew her hand and obediently followed Wen Li into a cafe.

The cafe was membership-only and highly valued guest privacy. Many celebrities came here for dates. In the private room, a waiter placed a cup of freshly brewed coffee in front of Wen Li. “Ms. Wen, please enjoy.”

It was her first time meeting the parents, and even Xu Ruozhou felt a bit uneasy.

Wen Li drank her coffee and remained silent for a long time. Xu Ruozhou interlaced her hands and proactively broke the silent atmosphere.

“Auntie, I actually anticipated that you would personally come looking for me after Wen Yan ran away from home.”

“Oh?” Wen Li put down her coffee and used a napkin to wipe the coffee stain from the corner of her mouth, her posture elegant. “You thought I’d come looking for you?”

Xu Ruozhou nodded. Wen Li suddenly chuckled softly and reached for the bag placed next to her.

“Then, did you think of this?”

Wen Li took out a check and handed it to Xu Ruozhou. Xu Ruozhou frowned when she saw the number. The expression on Wen Li’s face became even more contemptuous. “What, not enough?”
