Transmigrated as the Disabled Alpha Wife of the Black Moonlight and She Said She Loves Me - Chapter 25

Evening, having dinner with Grandmother Huo.

Housekeeper He: “Madam, Xiaoman called today to say she’ll be back the day after tomorrow.”

Grandmother Huo: “Perfect. Xien’s flight back to Changbin is tomorrow evening. Have someone pick him up at the airport when he arrives.”

Housekeeper He: “Yes, Madam.”

Grandmother Huo watched her precious granddaughter, Huo Jianan, devouring her meal with relish, showing no signs of distress. Feeling both pleased and puzzled, she asked, “Your wife isn’t here. Don’t you miss her?”

Huo Jianan, savoring the fragrant hand-torn chicken, replied, “Of course. I’ll be visiting the set in a few days with Wang Baobao.”

Grandmother Huo paused, realizing that Jianan intended to follow her husband soon. Seeing Jianan continue to eat ravenously, showing no joy at the news of Meng Xien’s return, she couldn’t resist reminding her, “Your Sister Meng is coming back.”

Huo Jianan hummed in acknowledgment, focusing on her food. As she ate, she pondered: Meng Xien is the mastermind behind Wolfie’s revenge. When did she start collaborating with her? Right now, Ruan Nianning is fully immersed in filming and likely hasn’t formed an alliance with Meng Xien yet.

“Grandmother, why did Sister Meng go abroad this time?”

“We’re planning to acquire a company in Country F. Sister Meng went to conduct the preliminary investigation.”

Huo Jianan’s eyes darted around. She didn’t understand much about business acquisitions, but there was nothing she could do about it. Her family was full of hidden talents—just as Wolfie had left, along came Tiger Meng. She couldn’t reveal her suspicions to Grandmother Huo, so she’d have to keep a close eye on things.

“Grandmother, Sister Meng is so capable and accomplished. I’d like to join the company and learn from her.”

Grandmother Huo frowned. “Didn’t you say you had an important matter to attend to first?”

“That won’t interfere with my learning from Sister Meng. Besides, staying home would be so boring.”

Grandmother Huo frowned, both expecting and surprised by this response.

She expected her granddaughter to be persistent, having just mentioned an urgent matter before changing her mind about joining the company.

What surprised her was hearing the word “boring” come from the mouth of her gaming-obsessed granddaughter.

Huo Jianan thought about her daily rehabilitation training, the upcoming set visit in a few days, and the possibility of other future commitments. She feared she wouldn’t be able to maintain a strict 9-to-5 schedule with punctual attendance.

“But there’s one condition.”

Grandmother Huo glanced at her sharply. “You’re asking for conditions before I’ve even agreed? Go on, what is it?”

“Can I skip the attendance check? Sometimes I can’t make it that early, or I might need to run out for something, or even take a few days off.”

Grandmother Huo could tell Huo Jianan was planning to work three days and slack off two.

“You certainly don’t mince words, do you?”

“Grandmother, just let me work with Sister Meng. I want to be as impressive as she is, with the chance to sign important documents.”

Though Huo Jianan didn’t fully understand business operations, she wasn’t foolish. If Meng Xien intended to seize control of the Huo family’s assets, she would need to handle official documents. By staying vigilant, Jianan could prevent Xien from finding an opening.

Hearing Jianan’s last words, Grandmother Huo’s thoughts shifted, and she finally gave her granddaughter a meaningful look.

She couldn’t tell whether her granddaughter’s motivation stemmed from youthful jealousy and competitiveness, a genuine desire to join the company and learn management, or some deeper reason.

“Very well,” Grandmother Huo said earnestly. “If you want to learn from Xien, then work with her. I watched Xien grow up, and she truly treats you like a younger sister. I don’t want either of you to come to harm.”

The next day, while Huo Jianan was undergoing rehabilitation at the hospital, she received a call from Wang Baobao.

“Dada, Huito’s girlfriend is opening her flower shop today, and everyone’s planning to go and offer their congratulations. Are you coming?” Before Huo Jianan could answer, Wang Baobao continued rapidly, “It’s just us—no outsiders. You know Huito, Zhenzhen, and Softie. We’ll send over a floral arrangement, have some tea, and play a few games. Remember how we got utterly trounced last time we teamed up? I told them your hands were all clumsy, but they wouldn’t believe me. They said they need to see you play in person to believe it.”

Huo Jianan: “……” Haven’t I already embarrassed myself enough in front of you? Now you want me to do it in front of a whole crowd?

“That’s not fair. No need for a demonstration. Maybe my cerebellum isn’t fully developed, making my coordination terrible.”

“How can that be? If you don’t show off a bit, they’ll think I’m badmouthing you. I’m coming to your house to pick you up right now.”

“I’m not at home. I’m at the hospital.”

“At the hospital? Are you getting your head checked again? You really need a thorough neurological exam. After that fall, even your cerebellum is messed up. How are we supposed to team up again like this?”

Huo Jianan: “……”

“Then wait here. I’ll head to the hospital and pick you up now.”

“No need. Just send me the flower shop’s address, and I’ll have my driver take me.”

“Would you actually come quietly? Do you think I don’t know your stubborn nature, Young Miss Huo? Without dawdling for at least an hour, mentally rehearsing dozens of times, would you ever show your face in public? Just stay in the hospital—don’t run! If you run home, I’ll chase you there. I’m on my way.”

“Yes,” Huo Jianan said, caught between laughter and exasperation. “Come on, I won’t run. I can’t run anyway. I’m in the orthopedics department.”

Wang Baobao arrived at the hospital and headed straight for the orthopedics department. He pushed open the door and called out, “Dada! Dada!”

Behind the desk, Jiang Shumin looked up at the sound of the door. “Can I help you?” she asked.

Her snow-white skin, straight nose, gentle eyes, and soft, bright gaze were all tender and delicate. Even her hair, draped softly over her shoulders, seemed to exude gentleness. Despite wearing a white lab coat, she lacked the sharp sternness often associated with doctors.

Wang Baobao’s heart skipped a beat. He froze for three seconds, then his heart began to race wildly. He backed up a step, glanced at the department information board to confirm he was in the third orthopedics department, and saw the doctor’s information: Jiang Shumin, female, Omega.

He leaned back inside the door. “Are you Doctor Jiang?”

“I am.” Jiang Shumin looked him up and down. “Do you have an appointment?”

“I… I’m not here for a consultation. I’m looking for someone. Dada… Huo Jianan.”

“You’re looking for Miss Huo? She went to the restroom. She should be back soon.”

Wang Baobao, his face flushed, seemed less eager to find Huo Jianan now. Instead, he asked, “I remember Doctor Zhang used to examine her leg. When did you take over, Doctor Jiang?”

“Doctor Zhang emigrated abroad. I’m now Miss Huo’s primary physician.”

“I see. Well then, I’ll be counting on you, Doctor Jiang. I’m Huo Jianan’s best friend—her bosom friend. My name is Wang Baobao, ‘bao’ as in ‘treasure.’ But everyone just calls me ‘Bao’ for ‘protector’.”

Jiang Shumin was about to respond when Huo Jianan’s voice came from behind. “Bao, you’re here?”

In the parking lot, Wang Baobao insisted on taking Huo Jianan in his car. Housekeeper He, unwilling to let them go alone, had the driver follow them in the Rolls-Royce.

As soon as they got in the car, Wang Baobao began to complain. “Couldn’t you have shown up a few minutes later? Didn’t you see I was talking to Doctor Jiang?”

“How was I supposed to know you’d arrive exactly then? My previous doctor emigrated, and Doctor Jiang only took over because of my fall.”

“When did she take over?”

“Just now, after I fell.”

“But that was days ago! Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Huo Jianan remained silent.

Wang Baobao was secretly startled by her silence. Recalling his words, he mentally berated himself and hastily explained, “Dada, don’t be angry. That’s not what I meant. I didn’t imply it was your fault. I just said it casually, without any ill intent. Please don’t take it to heart.”

It seemed everyone around the original body knew how sensitive she was.

Seeing his nervousness, as if facing a formidable enemy, Huo Jianan smiled. “It’s fine, just a casual remark. I didn’t feel offended, so why would I be angry?”

“You’re really not mad?” Wang Baobao asked, somewhat disbelieving. Dada’s temperament seemed to have changed.

In the past, she would have stubbornly clung to the question “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” and erupted in a hysterical, uncontrollable outburst: “How was I supposed to know you wanted to know I changed doctors?! Did I ever tell you to inform me if you changed doctors? You’re the one with the nerve!”

She might even have tried to grab the steering wheel or open the door and jump out of the car.

Wang Baobao had experienced both terrifying scenarios. The sheer terror of those moments remained etched in his memory.

A single careless remark could drive Huo Jianan mad. When she lost her composure, she became like a crazed, spiny durian, suddenly exploding and killing herself while leaving others covered in wounds.

Wang Baobao had considered severing ties with Huo Jianan more than once. But whenever Huo Jianan regained her senses, she earnestly invited him to team up again, pleading, “We’re a golden duo. You wouldn’t abandon me, would you?”

Wang Baobao’s heart softened. How could he bear to part ways with Xu Da?

Over the past two years, he had contemplated leaving several times, yet never followed through.

Huo Jianan turned to him with a smile. “Why would I be angry? You just grumbled a bit. There’s no need to make a fuss.”

Seeing her genuine smile, Wang Baobao finally relaxed, visibly deflating. “Dada, you’ve changed.”

“How so?” In the few days since her transmigration to this world, Huo Jianan had heard several people remark that she seemed different.

“Your temper’s much better. You’re less prone to getting stuck in a rut. In other words, you’re more emotionally stable. I was genuinely afraid you’d trash my car earlier.”

“Am I really that stubborn? Smashing cars is so dangerous. I still want to keep living a good life.”

“Exactly! Just keep being like this, and we can keep living a good life.”

Huo Jianan laughed. “By the way, do you have a crush on Doctor Jiang?”

Wang Baobao flushed crimson to his ears, caught off guard by her perceptiveness. He stiffened his neck stubbornly. “What, is there something wrong with that? Doctor Jiang is beautiful, gentle, and has this aloof air—she’s exactly my type.”

“Of course. A virtuous maiden is worthy of affection. Doctor Jiang is a good person and very patient with her patients.” Huo Jianan sighed. “Too bad she has a girlfriend.”

“A girlfriend?”

“Yeah, her girlfriend came to pick her up at the hospital last time.” Huo Jianan didn’t mention that the girlfriend was tall and strikingly beautiful, the kind of Alpha who was clearly very popular with Omegas.

Wang Baobao instantly slumped, the light in his eyes fading. “Right… How could such a beautiful Omega not have a girlfriend?”

Huo Jianan tried to comfort him, “It’s alright. You’ll meet your ideal Omega someday.”

“You used to call me fat before,” Wang Baobao retorted. “You said I’d never find an Omega who liked me because they prefer handsome, well-built Alphas, just like how female birds prefer males with bright, colorful feathers.”

Huo Jianan: “……” Did the original owner really say such blunt, unkind truths?

“You’re not fat,” Huo Jianan countered. “Just a little round, like Yang Yuhuan.”

Wang Baobao’s lips instantly pouted, nearly in tears. “That’s just another way of calling me fat! Everyone knows the saying ‘Huan’s plumpness, Yan’s slenderness.’ I want to be thin! But I can’t lose weight. My parents are fat, my grandparents are fat—our whole family has the fat gene. What can I do?”

Huo Jianan suggested tentatively, “Then why not follow your grandfather and father’s example and find a plump wife?”

“No way! I want someone like Doctor Jiang! Slim, elegant, aloof, and gentle!”

Huo Jianan sighed. Isn’t this the legendary phenomenon where the more unattainable something is, the more you want it?

The flower shop was much larger than I’d imagined. The entrance and outer area were filled with an array of flowers, while the center housed a DIY workshop where customers could learn flower arrangement and dried flower crafts for free. There was also a café area for resting and chatting over coffee, and further back, a small game room and the owner’s private space.

Huito was a cool girl, while her girlfriend and the shop owner, White Rabbit, was a sweet and adorable girl.

Zhenzhen, on the other hand, had a full-figured build with twin ponytails, and especially large breasts—she claimed they were 100% real.

Softie, whose full name was Magic Fairy Castle Pure Softie, had bright pink hair and heavy makeup that made her eyes almost disappear. At first glance, she looked nothing like a “pure softie.”

“Dada, Wang Baobao said you actually played that team game yourself last time. Is that true?”

“I can’t believe you’d be so scummy!”

“You’re Dada! The Dada with the smoothest positioning, unmatched by anyone!”

Huo Jianan had no choice. Under their insistent demands, she had to pick up the controller and, throwing everything she had, teamed up with them for a grueling five-game marathon…

After five games, apart from Huo Jianan and Wang Baobao, the three others fell into a prolonged silence.

“It’s over. Dada’s really lost it!”

“This gameplay is trash!”

“Our team is doomed to lose every battle!”

Huo Jianan, drenched in sweat, sighed, “I’m done for. Dada’s getting old and can’t even eat properly anymore.”

Zhenzhen: “Huh? Can’t eat? Does Dada have stomach problems?”

Softie: “Nah, it just means she’s lost her gaming skills. She’s washed up.”

Wang Baobao patted Huito on the shoulder. “See? I told you she was a noob. It’s not her fault—she cracked her head and damaged her cerebellum.”

Huo Jianan: “……”

In the room, the four of them switched to 2v2 mode, enjoying the game. Meanwhile, Huo Jianan maneuvered her wheelchair through the florist shop, slowly admiring the vibrant array of roses, lilies, tulips, carnations, and more.

As she navigated through the colorful sea of blooms, a cluster of straight, green stems resembling narcissus caught her eye. Long, slender white buds, resembling wheat spikes, formed a cluster, with a few already half-open. The leaves were long and graceful, as pristine as snow, their shape reminiscent of a lady’s flowing dress.

Huo Jianan caught a faint, familiar scent in the air—Ruan Nianning’s pheromones.

Her eyes lit up, and she turned to the florist. “Excuse me, what kind of flower is this?”

“This is Night Fragrance Jade. Its fragrance is stronger than that of jasmine or gardenias, and it becomes even more intense in the evening.”

Ah, so that’s why it’s called Night Fragrance Jade.

Huo Jianan bought a pot, and White Rabbit carefully instructed her on its care, especially emphasizing, “It thrives in warm, sunny spots.”

Huo Jianan carried the Night Fragrance Jade home. As soon as she arrived, she was greeted by a round-faced girl with rosy cheeks and dark skin. The girl excitedly exclaimed, “Young Miss! I’m back!”

Could this be Xiaoman? Huo Jianan thought.

Sure enough, Housekeeper He confirmed, “Xiaoman, you’ve been away for quite some time. Are all the arrangements at home settled?”

“Everything’s taken care of. My mother asked me to thank Young Miss, Madam, and Housekeeper Zhou.”

“You don’t need to thank me. Just thank Young Miss and Madam.”

Noticing the flower in Young Miss’s arms, Xiaoman took it from her. “Young Miss, what kind of flower is this? It’s so refined.”

“It’s called Night Fragrance Jade. The fragrance becomes stronger in the evening.”

“Isn’t that Night-blooming Jasmine? It’s not suitable for the bedroom.”

“This isn’t Night-blooming Jasmine, it’s a different flower,” Huo Jianan said, watching Xiaoman carry the plant towards the greenhouse. She added with a hint of regret, “I was planning to put it in my bedroom.”

Housekeeper He interjected, “Young Miss, since your sleep is already poor, it’s best not to keep such plants in your bedroom. If you like it, you can keep it there during the day and move it to the greenhouse at night.”

“Alright,” Huo Jianan agreed cheerfully.

Xiaoman placed the flower on the bedroom windowsill. She was livelier and younger than Xiao Tao. When she spoke of her father’s death, her eyes reddened, but as she began recounting the village feast, her tone gradually brightened. “The cook’s wife is my childhood friend. She even gave us a discount! Their braised dishes are delicious—the beef was especially good! The seasoning had such a wonderful flavor! Even my second maternal uncle attended the banquet. Mother said there were more people at this feast than at my cousin’s wedding. I planned to return after everything settled, but then I fell ill with a high fever—40 degrees! It was the first time I’d ever had a fever that high. I felt so dizzy…”

Xiaoman chattered incessantly.

Huo Jianan figured this was just how she interacted with her original body, so she let her talk.

As Huo Jianan admired the Night Fragrance Orchids on the windowsill, her mind inexplicably drifted to Wolfie.

Last night, without Wolfie’s usual disturbances, she had the entire bed to herself. Surprisingly, she found it a little hard to sleep.

She gently caressed the snow-white petals, her thoughts wandering.

I wonder what Wolfie is up to right now?

On the set, a fight scene came to an end. Song Shiyu, clad in robes whiter than snow, sheathed her sword.

“Cut! That’s a wrap!” the director called out.

Hearing the call, Ruan Nianning, dressed in a lavish pink costume that made her look like a wealthy young lady, smiled at her. “Sister Song, your fight scenes are amazing! Those flowing white robes make you look like an immortal descending from the heavens—a flower on a high cliff.”

“You’re just teasing me again. We’ve known each other long enough. Stop the flattery. That heavy, ornate pink costume suits you perfectly, though—a cold and aloof young madam of a wealthy family.”

“Hahaha, you’re laughing at me too?” Ruan Nianning giggled, her headpiece of pearls and flowers trembling with each movement. “This costume is only for today’s performance. I won’t need it again.”

“How can that be? Don’t you have several flashback scenes coming up? Aren’t you supposed to wear this same outfit?”

“If you hadn’t reminded me, I almost forgot. At most, I’ll wear it one more time to shoot those flashback scenes. Besides, someone doesn’t like seeing me in pink.”

“Why’s that?”

“She says it’s too dazzling for her eyes.”

“Must be your Jianan. If anything, I think she’s the one who’s dazzled by you,” Song Shiyu said with a laugh. “Honestly, you look more elegant in high-quality reds or blacks than in pink.”

Just then, an assistant approached and took the prop sword from Film Empress Song. “Nianning, want to go get our makeup removed together?”

“Sure, let’s go.” Ruan Nianning snatched her phone from the low table, saw a new message, quickly glanced at it, and then set it down with a disappointed sigh.

“Who are you waiting for a message from?”

“No one in particular. Just checking.”

“Didn’t Jianan text you?”

Ruan Nianning froze. “How did you know?”

“I also know that your relationship with Jianan has been growing closer since your marriage.”

Ruan Nianning was completely stunned. “Sister Song, are you some kind of deity?”

Song Shiyu chuckled. “I’m no deity, but I just know these things.”

“How?”

A faint smile played on Song Shiyu’s lips. “Before, you always seemed a bit impatient when reading her messages. Now, you’re the one eagerly anticipating them.”

Ruan Nianning flushed. “When have I ever been impatient? I’m not eagerly anticipating anything! It’s best if she doesn’t text me at all—annoying! It interferes with my acting.”

“Alright, alright. If she hasn’t texted you, then you text her. You’re her wife—isn’t it normal for you to reach out?”
