Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Boss of the Disabled Heroine - Chapter 54

Pei Yujiang, who had inexplicably become “married young,” was stunned for a moment before quickly pulling open the car door and shoving the person inside. Still uneasy, she first activated the autopilot mode from the front seat, set the timer, and then slid in beside Yu Zhiwan.

“You’re drunk.”

To avoid the car lights being too bright and disturbing other drivers at night, Pei Yujiang had set them to a soft mode. The gentle glow illuminated Yu Zhiwan, who was lazily reclining against a large cushion, humming something under her breath and ignoring Pei Yujiang’s words.

Moments later, the Omega’s head tilted onto her shoulder.

“Wifey, when are we getting home?”

“Yu Zhiwan, you’re single. You don’t have a wife.”

“Wifey, don’t you recognize me?”

No matter how many times Yu Zhiwan called her “wifey,” Pei Yujiang patiently corrected her each time, explaining that they weren’t in that kind of relationship. But Yu Zhiwan not only refused to listen, she even grew a little angry at Pei Yujiang’s repeated denials. Her delicate almond eyes welled up with tears as she pressed her lips together in a sulk.

During her heat, an Omega’s longing for intimacy surpasses all else, sometimes even leading to mild hallucinations.

Yu Zhiwan had mistaken her for her wife.

The Omega’s fluffy head nuzzled lightly against her shoulder like a clingy, affectionate kitten. Under Yu Zhiwan’s coquettish assault, Pei Yujiang had no choice but to wrap an arm around her shoulders, letting her settle more comfortably into her embrace.

“Wifey, when are we getting home?”

Yu Zhiwan repeated the same question. Pei Yujiang glanced at the synchronized navigation on her phone.

“About half an hour.”

She quickly ran through the logistics in her mind.

If they went home, it would have to be to her place. Outside, rain had begun to fall at some point, and while their homes were technically across from each other, the distance wasn’t negligible in this downpour. Driving around the neighborhood to Yu Zhiwan’s place wasn’t feasible, they’d both get soaked.

Pei Yujiang couldn’t remember if she had any suppressants at home. As a Beta, she didn’t need inhibitors or scent patches, but she had stocked up on some earlier as an emergency supply for Yu Zhiwan.

Just to be safe, Pei Yujiang decided to place an order now and have it delivered to her doorstep so they could use it as soon as they arrived.

But the moment she opened the delivery app, the Omega snatched her phone away with surprising force.

“So this is why you’re ignoring me,” Yu Zhiwan huffed through her nose, tucking the phone behind her back. “You’ve got pretty girls in your phone.”

Pei Yujiang: “…I don’t.”

What kind of script had this Omega assigned to her?

She had simply stated the truth in a calm, normal tone, but something about her words must have struck a nerve. Yu Zhiwan immediately pulled away, tears welling up in her eyes as her voice cracked with emotion:

“Last time, you lied and said you were on a business trip, but you were actually at a KTV with pretty girls, hugging them left and right! You despise me for being disabled and unable to sleep with you, so you bring an Omega home and even mark her right in front of me!”

She spoke with genuine emotion, her eyes moist as tears streamed down her cheeks. Pei Yujiang was stunned by Yu Zhiwan’s sudden outburst and only found her voice after a moment under the Omega’s relentless questioning.

“You’re talking about Liu Huanran, aren’t you?”

“Who’s Liu Huanran?”

Hearing this, Pei Yujiang also became animated, turning to scrutinize the red-eyed Omega under the light, asking incredulously:

“You don’t know Liu Huanran? You don’t recognize your ex?”

Without waiting for Yu Zhiwan to confirm or deny, Pei Yujiang preempted:

“You told me she was your fiancée, a super scummy Alpha who harassed and stalked you daily after failing to forcibly mark you. She lived in your house, mooching off your rent, verbally harassed you, and tried to lay hands on you several times. Later, you moved out because of her bullying and cut off her living allowance and rent payments.”

Pei Yujiang’s face showed hurt as she immediately immersed herself in the emotion:

“Why are you pinning what Liu Huanran did on me? Even if I were your wife, we could still divorce. Right now, we’re just fiancées. If you miss her, we can break up amicably. Stop pushing all the blame on me, do you have another woman outside?”

Pei Yujiang wanted to cry but couldn’t. Pinching her hand hard didn’t help either, so she choked back sobs and fired off accusations, her tone even more forceful and self-righteous than Yu Zhiwan’s earlier outburst.

Yu Zhiwan was indeed startled by her tirade. Under Pei Yujiang’s accusations, she slowly straightened up, no longer leaning limply against her but instead lowering her head in silence for a while.

After a long pause, the Omega cautiously raised her head and asked softly:

“I was just joking earlier… Are you mad?”

Pei Yujiang turned away:

“No.”

“Yuujiang!” Pei Yujiang had never heard Yu Zhiwan use such a sweet, coquettish voice before the upward lilt at the end like it was dipped in honey. Only now did she truly grasp the sweetness of the Omega gender. Even if the voice was deliberately saccharine, it wasn’t annoying. Yu Zhiwan murmured softly, “I was wrong. Don’t be angry.”

“I’m not.”

“You’re ignoring me.”

Yu Zhiwan kept calling her “wife” over and over, actively moving closer to nuzzle against her in appeasement. Pei Yujiang hadn’t expected this tactic to be so effective, so she shifted slightly to avoid Yu Zhiwan, intending to order suppressants online first.

But as Yu Zhiwan leaned over, she missed her mark and let out a sharp “Ah!” nearly tumbling off the seat unexpectedly.

“Zhiwan!”

Pei Yujiang panicked, dropping her phone and lunging forward to catch her. That was close, had she been even slightly careless, Yu Zhiwan would have fallen. The back seats were spacious and elevated; hitting the floor headfirst would have hurt badly.

Though self-driving technology was relatively mature, it still differed from manual control. When encountering faster vehicles on the road, evasive maneuvers were necessary, and braking inevitably jolted passengers forward. For most people, this wasn’t an issue, but Yu Zhiwan’s legs were uncontrollable, making a fall likely.

In Guobang’s traffic regulations, there was no mandatory requirement for backseat passengers to wear seatbelts. Pei Yujiang usually buckled up, but today’s chaos made her forget, and she felt somewhat annoyed at her own negligence. Eventually, she simply sat side by side with Yu Zhiwan, letting the Omega nuzzle her face against hers.

By the time they finally made it home, the rain had grown heavier. Pei Yujiang pulled out her phone and checked the delivery app again, only to find that orders were no longer being accepted even emergency fees wouldn’t help.

Holding onto a sliver of hope, Pei Yujiang rushed to her room and rummaged through her drawers, but there wasn’t a single suppressant in sight only one leftover inhibitor patch remained.

As neither an Alpha nor an Omega, she rarely stocked up on such items and often forgot about them. Pei Yujiang rubbed her temples, wondering if she should brave the rain to fetch a suppressant from Yu Zhiwan’s place, when she heard the Omega call her name from the couch.

“Coming!”

Pei Yujiang tore open the inhibitor patch’s packaging in a hurry and jogged over, worried that Yu Zhiwan might do something unpredictable in her absence.

Fortunately, Yu Zhiwan had only called out, displeased at being left alone for too long.

“Wife.”

The Omega, half-reclined on the sofa, propped herself up slightly. Two buttons on her blouse had come undone, revealing fair skin flushed a delicate pink from the alcohol, a stark contrast against the snowy complexion. With a lazy, almost casual demeanor, Yu Zhiwan murmured:

“Mark me. I’m ready.”

“Cough!”

Pei Yujiang wasn’t drinking anything, yet she choked on her own saliva, shooting Yu Zhiwan a disbelieving glance before quickly looking away.

There was an indescribable allure to the Omega’s current state though little was exposed, the way her dampened lashes clung to her eyes, the smooth curves of her upper body now free from the coat, all exuded an irresistible charm. Worst of all, Yu Zhiwan lifted an arm, her fingertips trailing slowly down her neck before teasingly nudging at the loosened edge of the inhibitor patch.

The patch, saturated with medication meant to block pheromones, had begun to peel. With just a corner lifted, the Omega’s restless heat-induced scent surged forth like a bubbling spring sweet, intoxicating, impossible to ignore.

“Wife?” Yu Zhiwan called again, her voice laced with vulnerability. “Don’t you like me anymore?”

Steeling herself against the pheromones, Pei Yujiang took slow steps forward. As a Beta, she lacked the heightened sensitivity of an Alpha, but Yu Zhiwan’s scent likely highly compatible with her past self instinctively drew her in. The sheer intensity of a top-tier Omega’s pheromones was undeniable.

If this had been her former self, she would’ve fled long ago. Even the most formidable Alphas couldn’t confidently resist such direct, focused temptation from an Omega.

“I do.”

Her soft reply was nearly swallowed by the heady rose fragrance flooding her senses. The closer she got, the more overwhelming the Omega’s pheromones became.

Many misunderstood Omegas, assuming their allure was passive. But when an Omega’s pheromones surged with intent, their power wasn’t aggressive, it was seduction in its purest form.

Pei Yujiang had once heard of a notorious battle tactic called the “Beauty’s Annihilation Strategy.” During a gathering of numerous Alphas, several high-level Omegas in heat were made to release their pheromones into the wind. The pheromones spread indiscriminately through the air, affecting friend and foe alike, with some Alphas even succumbing to immediate hormonal chaos.

However, the fate of those high-level Omegas was naturally tragic. Such a cruel tactic was essentially sacrificing Omegas as offerings. Even their own Alphas, who had taken preventive medication, were affected, resulting in a pyrrhic victory. After that, the strategy was never used again.

Yu Zhiwan’s pheromones were no less potent than those of the Omegas rumored to be capable of executing the “Beauty’s Annihilation Strategy.”

Pei Yujiang forced herself to stay alert and grabbed Yu Zhiwan’s wrist.

Unexpectedly, the Omega took the opportunity to collapse into her arms.

This position made it difficult for Pei Yujiang to free her hands to remove and reapply the suppressant patch. She was kneeling at the edge of the sofa, her posture precarious. The blind Omega leaned against her with complete trust, pressing close, and Pei Yujiang had to use both hands to steady Yu Zhiwan otherwise, they would both tumble to the ground.

If that happened, it was uncertain whether Yu Zhiwan would cooperate. Forcing the issue might injure her.

Pei Yujiang felt a headache coming on.

After a moment, she steeled herself, lifted the Omega onto her lap, and swiftly freed one hand to brush aside Yu Zhiwan’s hair. She then placed her hand in Yu Zhiwan’s grasp, letting her play with it as a gesture of goodwill.

At the same time, Pei Yujiang seized the chance to bite the edge of the suppressant patch.

The patch must have been on for too long, the adhesive had fused with the skin, requiring careful peeling rather than a quick tug to avoid damaging the delicate gland. This was why Pei Yujiang hadn’t ripped it off immediately earlier.

Being this close, the Omega’s pheromones flooded her senses more intensely than ever before. The blend of rose and sweet raspberry evoked the refreshing taste of summer’s most delightful ice cream unique and intoxicating.

Holding the suppressant patch between her teeth was unpleasant. Made of special material, it had a bitter taste, but combined with the pheromones’ assault, Pei Yujiang’s head spun as if the alcohol had surged back into her system.

Yet Pei Yujiang remained entirely focused, driven by one unwavering thought: she couldn’t let the Omega in her arms get hurt.

The gland was fragile even minor damage could be irreversible. That was why so many stories punished scummy Alphas by having their glands removed. Yu Zhiwan’s suppressant patch had clearly lost its effectiveness from prolonged use. Pei Yujiang painstakingly peeled it up bit by bit, while the Omega, unable to restrain herself, let out a soft whimper in her embrace.

An Omega in heat struggled to control their impulses. Pressing close and rubbing against Pei Yujiang provided no relief from the discomfort. Yu Zhiwan tried to turn her head, seeking Pei Yujiang’s lips, but the latter seemed preoccupied with something else and still hadn’t marked her.

Frustrated, the Omega pushed against her. Pei Yujiang quickly tightened her hold, murmuring reassuringly to signal that she was almost done.

Only a small patch of adhesive remained, which would come off with a bit more time. Afraid of hurting the skin, Pei Yujiang pulled slowly, her jaw aching from the effort. Yet the Omega failed to appreciate her caution, writhing against her and even grabbing her hand to press against an indescribable softness, guiding her fingers to trace the lace patterns through the fabric.

Pei Yujiang’s ears burned, her fingertips tingling with tiny electric currents under Yu Zhiwan’s grip. Spurred by the Omega’s urgent pleas, she steeled herself and lowered her head to take the scent gland between her lips.
