Transmigrated as the Disabled Alpha Wife of the Black Moonlight and She Said She Loves Me - Chapter 55.2

Min Jiru hesitated, but ultimately decided to be completely honest. “Xien, I’m sorry. You might think I’m shameless. Yes, I’m selfish. I could never forget you. My wedding to Zhang Kai was originally scheduled for three months from now, but I never liked him. He’s promiscuous, a playboy, and arrogant, but I didn’t care. I didn’t love him at all—I even hated him. Every time he touched my hand, it made me sick, utterly sick. As the wedding date approached, I felt suffocated, and I missed you more and more. I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I decided to come to Changbin to find you. If you still loved me, even just a little, if you wouldn’t chase me away, I would stay by your side, give myself completely to you, and be your girlfriend for three months.”

Min Jiru lowered her head in shame, tears streaming down her face as she nodded. “Yes.”

“Have you ever thought about what I’ll do when that happens? Out of nowhere, my girlfriend suddenly runs off to marry someone else, while I’m left clueless, foolishly waiting for her to marry me, waiting for her to become my bride. Min Jiru, how could you be so cruel? Have you ever considered what I’ll do?”

“I’m sorry, Xien, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

“I don’t want your sorry!” Meng Xien gripped her tightly. “Tell me, why won’t you marry me? You clearly love me. Why would you rather marry that scum and endure endless abuse in the future than marry me?”

Meng Xien’s eyes were bloodshot. “Is it because of what your mother said? That I’m not some wealthy heiress, just a pitiful orphan living off the kindness of others, adopted by Aunt Xu out of sheer charity? That marrying me would be beneath you, that you’re unwilling to marry me because it would lower your status? Is that it?”

“Then why won’t you marry me? Don’t you want to spend the rest of your life with me?”

“I do! I dream of marrying you, of holding you every night as we fall asleep, of waking up to see you every morning, of hearing you say ‘I love you’ while you hold me.”

Min Jiru could no longer hold back and finally voiced the helplessness deep within her heart. “You’re an Alpha, but I’m a Beta. I don’t produce pheromones, so we’ll never have children. And you’ve always loved children so much.”

“Do you remember what you said back then, when you first transformed into an Alpha? We were in the ginkgo forest, and you said if I could transform into an Omega, we could build our own little family. You wanted two children. Because your Mommy left you so early, you’ve always longed for a family of your own, for children of your own.”

Min Jiru covered her face with both hands, tears streaming down her face. “Xien, I’m just a Beta! I can’t become an Omega! I can’t become an Omega!”

Meng Xien was stunned. She gritted her teeth, realizing that her casual remark years ago had become the source of Min Jiru’s deep-seated pain.

“Minmin, I don’t care if you’re a Beta! I love you, whether you’re an Omega or not. I only want to marry you!”

“But it’s so difficult for us to have children.”

“I don’t care. If we can’t have children, then we can’t. Having you is enough for me!”

“But I can’t detect your pheromones, and I don’t produce Omega pheromones. During your Rut, I can’t soothe you. All I can do is watch you tear off a Suppressant Patch.”

Min Jiru still vividly remembered that first time they were together. Unable to comfort Meng Xien with Omega pheromones, she had quietly gotten out of bed to tear open a Suppressant Patch.

A Beta was just a Beta—without glands, without Omega pheromones, unable to help the one she loved.

Meng Xien had no idea that her Minmin had ever experienced such moments of helplessness. “I don’t care about the Suppressant Patch,” she said. “I only want you by my side. Minmin, there’s nothing in this world more important than you. Having you here with me surpasses everything!”

Min Jiru sobbed, “Do you mean to use those patches for your whole life? Xien, you’re so talented. You could find an Omega girl who loves you.”

“But I only want you! Don’t you understand? I only want you! The moment I saw you at seventeen, I knew you were the one for me! That will never change.”

Min Jiru’s sobs grew even more violent, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Meng Xien struggled to lift her arms. “Minmin, I want to hold you.”

Min Jiru carefully leaned forward onto her chest, bracing her hands on the bed, afraid to put any weight on her.

“Minmin, don’t leave me! I couldn’t bear it! Don’t worry about the child, Beta, or that scum. I’ll pay off what you owe him. Marry me and become my wife. Let’s never be apart again, okay?”

“Okay, I’ll never leave you again. I want to marry you and become your wife.”

“Really?!” Meng Xien exclaimed, overjoyed, holding Min Jiru so tightly that her bones ached from the strain. Her hands trembled with pain, but she refused to let go.

Min Jiru lay in her arms, tears streaming down her face. In that moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of peace and happiness. She smiled and said, “I’m serious. You need to get better soon and buy me an engagement ring.”

“Okay, I’ll get you the biggest ring possible. As soon as I can get out of bed, we’ll go buy it.”

Outside the room, the two women leaned their heads against each other, exchanging a look. Then they quietly slipped away.

“So that’s why Min Jiru was reluctant to marry Sister Meng. It turns out Beta isn’t such a big deal after all. With medical advancements, Alpha and Beta couples might even be able to have children someday.”

Huo Jianan grumbled inwardly, She eavesdrops by pressing her ear against the wall, but you practically squashed me under your whole body! You’re about to collapse my shoulder!

Of course, Ruan Nianning wouldn’t admit she was deliberately taking advantage of the situation to bully Huo Jianan, relishing the sight of her being dominated.

“Hmph! You’re an Alpha. How can you be so fragile?”

Huo Jianan: “……”

Later that afternoon, Grandmother Huo received a call from her granddaughter. “What’s wrong, Jianan? Did something happen to Xien?”

“No, Grandma, don’t worry. Sister Meng is perfectly fine. I just wanted to let you know to prepare an extra portion for dinner. Sister Meng’s girlfriend is visiting.”

Grandmother Huo was both surprised and delighted. “Xien’s girlfriend? Who is she?”

“You know her, Grandma.”

“I know her?!”

“Yes! You’ve even met her. She’s very pretty, and you praised her yourself.” Huo Jianan smiled gleefully, thinking that after so many years, her grandmother would never guess.

Unexpectedly, Xu Weiyi pondered for a moment before asking, “Is it that fair-skinned girl, the granddaughter of my cousin Liang? Her name ends with ‘Ru,’ right?”

Xu Weiyi smiled mysteriously. “What doesn’t your grandmother know? You two come back for dinner now. Let them have a little time to get to know each other. Later, I’ll have Housekeeper He send Mei Sao over to help Xiao Tao with the care.”

After finishing her call, Huo Jianan, pushed by Ruan Nianning, returned to the hospital room.

“Nianning, isn’t Grandmother amazing? I just mentioned that Sister Meng’s girlfriend was someone she knew, someone beautiful whom she’d praised before, and she immediately guessed it was Min Jiru.”

Ruan Nianning suggested, “Maybe it’s because Grandmother mentioned arranging a marriage between Sister Meng and Min Jiru before. Now it seems she was right all along.”

Huo Jianan laughed happily. “Haha, Grandmother is the real matchmaker!”

Inside the room, Meng Xien was holding Min Jiru’s hand, whispering to her. Hearing someone enter, Min Jiru hastily withdrew her hand and stood up. “President Huo, Miss Ruan, you’re here.”

Huo Jianan smiled warmly. “No need for formalities. We’re family now.”

Min Jiru’s pale face flushed visibly at the word “family.”

“Sister Meng, are you feeling better? You must be feeling much better now that the miracle cure has arrived.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Huo Jianan said, “Sister Meng, Nianning and I will head back now. Grandmother will have dinner delivered later this evening.”

Meng Xien nodded. “You and Nianning haven’t slept all night. Go home. Xiao Tao will take care of me here.”

Huo Jianan turned to Min Jiru. “Assistant Min, I’ve approved your resignation right now. From today onward, focus on taking care of Sister Meng properly, Sister-in-law.”

Min Jiru’s face flushed crimson at the new title, even the tips of her ears turning red.

During dinner, Grandmother Huo asked a few more questions about Min Jiru. “I wonder how she’s doing now? I remember her as such a quiet girl, with skin as fair and delicate as a snow doll. She was instantly likable. I thought she’d make a wonderful daughter-in-law—beautiful and with such a good personality.”

“Grandmother, are you a superficial person? Someone who judges solely by appearance?”

“Of course not! Character comes first, appearance second. That’s what I call true virtue and beauty. After all, the person you’ll share a bed with for a lifetime must be someone whose looks you truly appreciate.”

“Grandmother, you’re so honest,” Huo Jianan said.

Grandmother Huo said proudly, “Your Grandmother Songzhi had top-notch character and was very beautiful. If she hadn’t been so plain-looking, I wouldn’t have liked her.”Housekeeper He couldn’t help but interject, “Madam, Young Miss Songzhi was renowned as a beauty in Changbin at the time, a very popular Alpha Miss.”

“I’m not bad myself,” Grandmother Huo countered. “If neither of us were good-looking, how could we have had Zhujun? And how could Zhujun have had such a beautiful Jianan?”

Huo Jianan hadn’t expected her grandmother to have such an amusing side. Smiling, she said, “Then I must thank Grandmother for leaving me such good genes, allowing me to grow up reasonably good-looking and catch Nianning’s eye.”

After dinner, Ruan Nianning pushed Huo Jianan in a wheelchair to stroll through the flower room.

A smooth path led to the flower room, which was quite spacious, covering several hundred square meters. Cleverly divided into several sections using the natural growth patterns of various plants, it created a harmonious and functional layout.

Outside was the cold, desolate winter, but inside the flower room, it was warm as spring. A vibrant array of flowers bloomed in vibrant hues, with roses being the most prominent.

Huo Jianan, unable to resist the beauty of the flowers, gently caressed a particularly exquisite rose.

She recalled the Greek goddesses on Mount Olympus, likely surrounded by blossoms and radiating gentle warmth in their eyes.

Bending down, Ruan Nianning wrapped her arms around Huo Jianan’s neck and kissed her cheek. “Jianan, you’re truly beautiful and so kind-hearted.”

Huo Jianan blushed. “I’m not nearly as wonderful as you make me out to be.”

Her pale face flushed with a rosy glow, like pink strawberry syrup drizzled over ice cream, making her look utterly alluring.

Ruan Nianning licked her slightly dry lips. “Of course, just as Grandmother Zhi always said: ‘Good character, striking beauty, and radiating deliciousness.'”

“Delicious?”

Ruan Nianning tilted her head, her soft lips briefly touching Huo Jianan’s before she playfully bit down, savoring the taste.

Huo Jianan’s clear eyes shifted from surprise to delight, her long lashes brushing against Ruan Nianning’s equally fair cheek. She closed her eyes, tightening her embrace around the woman in her arms.

Slowly, the rich fragrance of tuberose overtook the scent of roses, intertwining and swirling in the air.

Ruan Nianning: Isn’t that true?

Huo Jianan: Yes, yes, yes.
