Transmigrated as the Disabled Alpha Wife of the Black Moonlight and She Said She Loves Me - Chapter 24

In the study, Huo Jianan rummaged through piles of books and papers, searching for any personal belongings of the original owner.

Unexpectedly, she found a golden longevity lock on a red cord tucked away among a stack of cherished game cards—a charm clearly meant for a baby.

It was likely something the original owner had worn as a child.

As Huo Jianan examined the small golden charm, Housekeeper He entered. “Young Miss, it’s time for your rehabilitation session at the hospital.”

Huo Jianan nodded and was about to leave when Wang Baobao called.

“Dada, have you been discharged yet? Are you feeling better?”

“I’m fine. I’ve been out of the hospital for a few days now.”

“Holy shit, why didn’t you tell me sooner?!”

“My head wound finally fully healed just the day before yesterday.”

“Alright then, I’ll come visit you this afternoon.”

After hanging up, Housekeeper He asked, “Miss Wang is coming this afternoon, right? Should we have the kitchen bake some cranberry cookies?”

“Does she really like them that much?”

“Yes, she always eats a whole plateful. She doesn’t want any other flavors, only cranberry.”

Huo Jianan casually remarked, “Housekeeper He, how can she have the nerve to call Wang Baobao by that name? He’s a renowned general!”

Housekeeper He paused, surprised. “Wang Baobao is a general? I had no idea. I only know that Young Miss Wang’s original name was ‘Bao’ from ‘treasure,’ but you all started calling her ‘Baobao’ when you played games together.”

Huo Jianan pondered this. Wang Baobao must be a formidable, invincible character in the game, she thought. And since I’m Dada, I’m probably Xu Da. We’d definitely hold our own in a game.

At the hospital, Huo Jianan finished her daily rehabilitation session, supported by Doctor Jiang. Exhausted and drenched in sweat, she sat in her wheelchair, gasping for breath.

“Doctor Jiang, when will I start seeing results from my rehabilitation?”

Jiang Shumin smiled. “Miss Huo, you’ve only completed three sessions. This isn’t a miracle cure. It will take at least several months to see significant progress.”

Huo Jianan was startled. “That long?!”

Jiang Shumin handed her two tissues. “Miss Huo, have you been coming for three days straight? Are you already giving up?”

“No,” Huo Jianan said, taking the tissue and wiping the sweat from her forehead. “As long as I can stand up again, whether it takes months or years, I’ll endure.”

Sure enough, Wang Baobao arrived in the afternoon.

He had a neat short haircut, the ends just covering the glands at the back of his neck. Tall and broad-shouldered, he stood in stark contrast to the frail Huo Jianan, looking like a sturdy little tank beside her.

He held a long, cloth-wrapped object.

“Dada, for you! To celebrate your successful recovery and discharge! Our golden CP is back! We can team up and game again!”

Huo Jianan took the gift and unwrapped it. Inside was a slender, curved blade, its elegant arc immediately recognizable as a game-themed collectible.

“What do you think? Do you like it?” Wang Baobao’s voice brimmed with excitement. “It’s a one-to-one replica, you know!”

Huo Jianan: “……”

You’re giving me a knife to celebrate my discharge? she thought. Did I not get enough needles and scalpels in the hospital? Thanks a lot!

“Thank you! I love it! I absolutely love it!”

“Let’s go! We’re playing games! Bunny, Zhenzhen, Softie—they’re definitely online waiting for us!”

Wang Baobao strode into the study with practiced ease.

“Holy shit, when did you get all this office stuff?” Baobao plopped down, opened the game, and immediately started shaking his phone at Huo Jianan. “Get online, get online! Baobao’s back!”

Huo Jianan was handed a game controller and unceremoniously thrust into the fray.

After a barrage of attacks and flashy effects, Wang Baobao watched Dada die horribly for the third time in a row. He tilted his head at Huo Jianan. “Dada, is that you?”

Feeling guilty, Huo Jianan forced herself to say, “What? Don’t forget I’m still recovering from a serious illness.”

“Fine, then play properly! Take it seriously!”

This time, Huo Jianan gave it her all. After a frantic scramble, she finally managed to fend off the frenzied onslaught of the small monsters, her health bar dwindling to a pitiful sliver. Just as she was about to drink a potion to replenish her health, the mini-boss of the level suddenly mutated and swung its axe at her.

Wang Baobao shouted urgently, “Holy shit! Run! Run! Run! Dada, where are you running? To the left! Left! Turn left! Can’t you tell your left from your right?! Quick! Get up! Roll on the ground! Holy shit! You’re running straight into the axe!”

The Mini-boss mercilessly split Dada in two.

Huo Jianan tossed the controller aside. Her heart was still racing from the intense, heart-pounding scene. “I can’t play this game.”

“I can see that. Is your hand crippled or something?”

Wang Baobao was baffled. How could Dada, who had always been so nimble and skilled, move so clumsily today, like a complete idiot?

“Who said my hand is crippled? I can play plenty of games.”

“Like what?”

Huo Jianan spent ages searching online before finally downloading a game.

When the classic “Ready, Go!” rang out, Wang Baobao’s hand trembled, nearly dropping the controller.

“Holy shit! You’re playing this?! After your illness, not only is your hand crippled, but your brain’s turned to mush too!”

“Want to play with me? It’s got a two-player mode.”

Wang Baobao angrily devoured four, five, six small biscuits and downed nearly half a can of soda. “For the sake of your little biscuits, I’ll humor you this once, Jianan.”

Seeing that he had indeed logged off that massive game to play this old one with her, and without any grumbling, Huo Jianan felt a flicker of warmth.

Playing this childish game, Wang Baobao seemed far too relaxed. “Didn’t you just get married? How did you end up hitting your head?”

How did Huo Jianan know how the original body had gotten the head injury?

“I just… tripped. It wasn’t even that bad—no cut or anything. But somehow, it led to internal bleeding.”

“So you injured the inside, not the outside. It’s an internal injury,” Wang Baobao declared confidently.

Huo Jianan was stunned. That’s… that’s called an internal injury? Fine, rounding up, I guess anything beneath the skin counts.

Wang Baobao wolfed down three more biscuits. “Did that woman come back to harass you during your wedding?”

Huo Jianan was baffled. “What woman?”

“You know, that one.”

“Who?”

“Have you really lost your mind from that fall? Don’t you remember? Your biological mother!”

Huo Jianan: “……”

An unexpected revelation about the original body’s mother! So that must be the wife of Huo Zhujun, her mom. A character who never even received a name throughout the entire original book.

It was clear that the original owner of this body had mentioned her to this friend before.

Huo Jianan steeled herself and asked tentatively, “Baobao, if she contacts me again, what should I do?”

“What should you do? Ignore her, of course! You abandoned your wife and child when you were so young! Did she even fulfill her duties as a mother? It was all your mom who raised you, worked hard to make a living, and supported your education. Was that easy for her?

“Now that she sees you’ve become an heir to the Huo family and wants to reap the benefits? No way! Make her regret it! She wanted to marry into wealth, ha ha, only to realize she missed out on the real fortune! I despise such heartless, ungrateful people!

“Dada, don’t be soft-hearted! I know you miss your mother, but she doesn’t deserve to be called your mother! Think about the life you and your mom had abroad. Did she ever visit you? You need to stand up for yourself! Never acknowledge her! If she asks for money, don’t give it to her! If you must, give her 50,000 or 100,000 yuan—just enough for her to live on.”

Wang Baobao rambled on, growing increasingly furious and resentful with each word, until he slammed down an entire can of soda in a fit of anger. It was as if he had been abandoned by a mother who preferred wealth over family.

Huo Jianan: “……” This Wang Baobao is truly a voice of reason!

After talking for quite some time and seeing Huo Jianan’s blank stare and lack of reaction, Wang Baobao grew worried that she might actually acknowledge the woman. He warned, “Dada, if you recognize that woman, you’d be a fucking coward! I’d look down on you and cut ties with you!”

From what Wang Baobao had said, the original body’s mother seemed like a despicable person, especially for abandoning her husband and child. This alone was enough for Huo Jianan to never forgive her.

Huo Jianan wasn’t the original person, so she didn’t feel the longing for a biological mother. “No, I wouldn’t acknowledge that woman. The pain she inflicted on me and my mom can’t be erased with a simple ‘I was wrong.'”

Wang Baobao patted her shoulder approvingly. “Right! Exactly! You’ve finally seen things clearly, Dada.”

After playing for nearly half a day and devouring two whole trays of biscuits, Wang Baobao suddenly remembered. “Where’s your wife? I haven’t seen her around.”

“She left today to join a filming crew. They just set off.”

“Filming? What show is it?”

“It’s called Enfeoffment with the Lord. She’s pairing up with Film Empress Song. They say it won’t air until at least the second half of next year. I’m planning to visit the set in a few days.”

At the mention of visiting the set, Huo Jianan suddenly felt a flicker of anticipation.

“Is she working with Song Shiyu?” Wang Baobao’s voice pitched higher with excitement, his eyes wide as he stared at Huo Jianan.

“Yeah, that’s Song Shiyu, her best friend.”

“Wow! Aahh! I want to visit the set too! Take me with you! Dada, take me with you!”

“Sure, we’ll go together. I’ll let you know when.”

“Awesome! Dada, you’re the best!”

After seeing off Wang Baobao, Huo Jianan closed her game. The noisy sounds ceased abruptly, and the spacious study fell silent.

Huo Jianan sat alone on the sofa, suddenly feeling a little empty. She picked up her phone, then put it down, only to pick it up again a moment later. After repeating this several times, she took a deep breath and finally called Wolfie.

The phone rang, but there was no answer. Huo Jianan held the phone, waiting and wondering if Wolfie was being subtly bullied on the set. Or worse, was someone trying to take advantage of her?

Then she shook her head. Ruan Nianning wasn’t some naive rookie; she was a well-established superstar and, most importantly, her wife—the Huo Family’s daughter-in-law. If anyone dared to bully her, Huo Jianan would have her grandmother dismantle the entire production team! Worst-case scenario, she’d just invest in a complete reshoot.

“Hello, Jianan? Jianan?”

Ruan Nianning’s voice on the other end of the line snapped Huo Jianan out of her wandering thoughts.

Huo Jianan cleared her throat. “Wife, have you arrived at the set? How was your journey?”

“Everything went smoothly. We’ve arrived at the hotel the production arranged. We were just getting out of the elevator to go eat.”

“Oh, that’s good. I’m glad everything went well. I wasn’t really worried, just checking in. Go ahead and enjoy your meal.”

Huo Jianan hung up the phone and slumped over the table, feeling a bit listless. Now that Wolfie wasn’t around, she suddenly missed her.

“Your wealthy wife calling to check on you?”

Film Empress Song Shiyu and Ruan Nianning stepped out of the elevator together. One was like a cool, aloof flower on a high cliff, the other a cold, crimson rose. Even with hats and masks obscuring their faces, their entrance drew the attention of everyone in the hotel lobby.

“Mm-hmm, it was Jianan. She asked if I’d arrived at the set.”

Song Shiyu smiled. “I’m both happy and surprised you managed to take this role. I never thought your wife Jianan would actually let you leave for a shoot so soon after your wedding. If she knew I was the one who invited you, she might blame me for ruining your honeymoon.”

“Not at all,” Ruan Nianning replied, her eyes crinkling with amusement as she thought of her wife. “She’s not that petty. She’s actually looking forward to our movie and will be visiting the set in a few days.”

Song Shiyu glanced at her. “Nianning, you seem different.”

“How so?”

“You seem happier than before, a genuine happiness.”

Ruan Nianning nearly burst out laughing. “It’s not that profound. I just got married and became someone’s wife.”

“Then you married the right person.”

Ruan Nianning suddenly thought, if they weren’t enemies, considering Jianan’s behavior after marriage, this marriage was definitely the right choice.
