Transmigrated as the Disabled Alpha Wife of the Black Moonlight and She Said She Loves Me - Chapter 62.2

Huo Jianan was both exhausted and hot, so the icy milk tea was perfect. As usual, Wang Baobao offered to drive her home, but Huo Jianan looked at him, then at Doctor Jiang, and refused. “No need to trouble yourself. I’m going to visit Sister Meng. I’ll have my driver pick me up. Jiangjiang will be off work soon, so you can enjoy your alone time together.”

Huo Jianan carried her milk tea outside, gulped down the remaining liquid in a few sips, and tossed the cup into the trash.

Wang Baobao sighed, “I’m so jealous of Dada. He can drink so much milk tea and still stay so thin! It’s infuriating!”

Doctor Jiang casually closed the door behind her. “Wang Baobao, confess. How much cake did you sneak?”

Wang Baobao was startled. “You caught me? How did you know?”

Jiang Shumin glanced down. “There are cake crumbs on your collar.”

Wang Baobao looked like a chubby orange cat caught stealing dried fish.

“I-I won’t sneak anymore. Don’t be mad, Jiangjiang.”

“Who said I’m mad?” Jiang Shumin leaned against the door, tilted her head, and kissed Wang Baobao. “Just promise you’ll save a piece for me from now on.”

“Deal.” Wang Baobao paused, then grinned. He grabbed Jiang Shumin’s hand with one arm and wrapped the other around her slender waist, pressing her against the door for a deep kiss.

In Changbin City, the Bai Family Villa’s entrance was crowded with luxury cars.

Superior sports cars like Bugatti and McLaren drew attention, while traditional luxury brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley exuded business-class elegance.

Huo Jianan had just stepped out of her Rolls-Royce when she saw Wang Baobao emerge from his Ferrari.

“Baobao, why didn’t you bring Doctor Jiang?”

“She said she’s just a doctor, unfamiliar with these kinds of events, and insisted she wouldn’t be able to handle it. She refused to come, no matter what.”

Huo Jianan smiled, glancing at the gathering inside the mansion. The men, dressed in sleek suits, exuded elegance, while the women competed in dazzling evening gowns. Each face wore a carefully practiced smile.

“Let’s go in.”

Many in the crowd didn’t recognize Huo Jianan, their eyes drawn to the elegantly dressed, wealthy woman with a limp. “Who’s that?” whispers spread. Others, however, knew her well.

“That’s Huo Jianan, the heiress of the Huo family, Xu Weiyi’s only granddaughter.”

“Ah, right! That’s the Huo Jianan who married the actress Ruan Nianning! If you only look at her upper body, she’s quite striking—she has real Alpha charm.”

“Hah! Are you falling for her? She’s the Huo Family Young Miss, the sole heiress. Her status is untouchable.”

“Indeed, they’re one of the top powerhouses.”

“What a shame you were a few months too late. That celebrity beat you to it. You can’t become Madam unless you’re willing to be her lover,” the man said nonchalantly. “If she could offer me a substantial sum, being her lover wouldn’t be so bad. I’ve never been with a disabled person before—might be wild and thrilling.”

The group chuckled, their laughter tinkling like bells. Huo Jianan noticed their deliberate glances—unhindered gazes filled with suggestive intent—and a chill ran down her spine. She quickly turned and fled.

A few people approached Wang Baobao, exclaiming, “Wang Baobao, is that you? Wow! It’s really you! You’ve lost so much weight! You’ve changed so much! I almost didn’t recognize you!”

They began discussing rock climbing competitions and invited Wang Baobao to join them next month. Seeing his eagerness, Huo Jianan smiled. “Go talk to them. Don’t worry about me. I know a few people here anyway, and I need to greet them.”

“Alright. Be careful and watch where you’re going.”

They had met at the city’s banquet earlier that year.

“Miss Huo, where’s Miss Meng?”

“My sister isn’t feeling well, so I’m here in her place.”

“I heard Huo Corporation was planning to acquire Soul Corporation. Why did you end up abandoning the deal?”

“Yes, why did you change your mind? Soul Corporation has two games that have been incredibly popular these past two years.”

Huo Jianan maintained her usual composed smile. “In business, sometimes you have to consider fate. Perhaps the Huo family and Soul weren’t meant to be. We can only let others with the right destiny take it.”

The group, impressed by her poise and maturity despite her youth and recent employment, began to view her with newfound respect.

After a few drinks, Huo Jianan felt a tightness in her chest. Silently, she slipped away from the crowd, heading to the lounge to get some fresh air.

The lounge was empty, the thick, ornately carved wooden door blocking out the noise from the main hall. Huo Jianan let out a long sigh, her gaze drifting to the small garden outside the window. The corridor leading to the garden was enclosed, its three glass walls shielding against the biting winter cold.

Huo Jianan maneuvered her wheelchair into the garden. As she traveled through the glass corridor, she nearly tipped over just before reaching the garden.

Unbeknownst to her, there was a step at the end of the corridor, where the garden’s ground level was slightly lower. The dim lighting in the garden made it difficult for Huo Jianan to see. The wheels of her chair hit the step with a clatter, causing her body to lurch sideways.

“Watch out!” A figure suddenly rushed forward and caught Huo Jianan.

Despite their petite frame, the person’s strength was surprising. Huo Jianan felt the unnaturally thin body against hers, and her keen sense of smell detected a faint, delicate scent—Omega Pheromones.

“Are you alright?”

Huo Jianan wanted to say she was fine. The person’s hands steadied her shoulders, quickly stabilizing her upper body. But her lower body remained paralyzed, powerless. She could only sit awkwardly, half-supported by the stranger, unable to move.

Sensing the person’s effort to hold her up, Huo Jianan turned her head, gripped the stranger’s arms, and pushed them away.

“Um… could you put me down? My legs aren’t very mobile.”

The girl froze, suddenly realizing Huo Jianan couldn’t stand on her own. Her gaze shifted to the wheelchair—a tilted chair with one wheel suspended in mid-air.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t see clearly. I didn’t realize you…” The girl stammered, her voice thick with apology.

“There’s no need to apologize. I should be thanking you. Otherwise, I’d have been forced to make an intimate acquaintance with this grass. Could you put me down now?”

The girl carefully and slowly lowered Huo Jianan to the ground.

“Thank you,” Huo Jianan said, sitting on the grass. “Could you help me with my wheelchair?”

The girl steadied the wheelchair and glanced at Huo Jianan, intending to help her sit down.

Under the dim garden lighting, Huo Jianan finally got a clear look at her: small and slender, her voice timid. She seemed both shy and nervous, averting her gaze whenever their eyes met, yet her eyes themselves shone with unusual brightness.

“No need. You couldn’t possibly lift me.”

“I’ll go get some help.”

“No need to trouble yourself. I’ll call my friend and ask her to help.” Huo Jianan pulled out her phone and dialed Wang Baobao. “Baobao, could you come to the garden? It’s the door next to the sculpture on the right side of the main hall. Go through the door, and you’ll see a glass corridor. I’ll be there.”

After hanging up, Huo Jianan noticed the young woman standing awkwardly in place, glancing around and then at her. The woman seemed uneasy about leaving a wheelchair-bound person alone.

Huo Jianan guessed the woman was one of the guests, though she couldn’t tell which family’s young lady she was.

“Thank you, but you don’t need to worry about me. My friend will be here soon.”

Just as she finished speaking, she heard laughter and chatter approaching.

“I’m a bit disappointed we didn’t see the Bai Family Second Young Miss today. They say she can’t compare to Bai Ying.”

“What’s there to be disappointed about? They’re as different as night and day. According to Bai Ying, her newly emerged younger sister is as clumsy and foolish as they come, just standing there blankly. Even a maid’s daughter would look more like a proper young lady than her.”

“Exactly! What’s the point in looking at some backwater idiot? You know who I just saw? Huo Jianan!”

“Huo Jianan?! The Huo Family Young Miss?”

“Who else could it be but Huo Jianan? The Huo Family Young Miss is quite pretty, even with her leg injury. She’s still strikingly beautiful. If I were Bai Ying, I might have accepted that marriage proposal back then.”

“Where is she? Where is she? I’ve never seen a wheelchair-bound heiress from a wealthy family!”

Huo Jianan rolled her eyes inwardly. A group of idle gossiping women! They sounded like friends of Bai Ying, the Young Miss Bai.

“This Huo Jianan’s situation is somewhat similar to the Bai Family Second Young Miss’s—they both just returned to their families.”

“How can they be compared? Huo Jianan has always been the Huo Family’s legitimate Young Miss; she just lived abroad with her mother since childhood. Xu Weiyi has always known about this granddaughter of hers. In fact, she’s already officially started working at the Huo Corporation, and it looks like she’s being groomed to take over the company.”

“The Bai Family’s Second Young Miss, though… I don’t know if she’s lucky or unlucky. She was away for 20 years before the Bai Family brought her back just months ago. Rumor has it she was living in a remote village all that time, and she reeks of poverty. How can she possibly compare to her sister, Bai Ying?”

As their voices grew louder, Huo Jianan noticed the girl in front of her burying her head deeper, even raising a hand to nervously clutch her arm. Her already slender figure seemed to shrink further, like a frightened kitten trapped and unable to escape, desperately enduring overwhelming fear and anxiety.

Huo Jianan felt a vague sense of unease.

Just then, the gossiping women arrived and froze upon seeing the girl sitting on the ground.

“Miss Huo! What are you doing here?”

“Which Miss Huo?”

“Huo! Miss Huo?!”

Another woman nearly gasped, tugging at her companion’s sleeve. “It’s her! Bai Ying’s younger sister, Bai Han!”

Huo Jianan paused, following their astonished gazes to the frail, thin girl.

So this was the second young miss of the Bai family, Bai Han, who had been lost and only recently returned home.

The women’s curious gazes settled on Bai Han. This Second Young Miss Bai was truly different. Even at such a grand ball, she wore a dowdy ponytail and didn’t even greet them, keeping her head lowered—a perfect blend of rusticity and foolishness. Their expressions turned scornful, their derision openly displayed.

But compared to the clumsy Second Young Miss Bai, they were clearly more interested in Huo Jianan, who was sitting on the ground, and they crowded around her.

“Miss Huo, what are you doing here? Did you fall?”

“No, I just sit in my wheelchair for so long sometimes that I like to sit on the lawn for a change. I do it at home too.”

Just then, two more voices approached from the direction of the hallway.

“Miss Wang, the garden is just beyond this hallway.”

“Thank you!”

Huo Jianan recognized one voice as Wang Baobao’s, but couldn’t place the other.

Wang Baobao strode through the hallway and emerged into the garden, accompanied by another girl. Dressed in an elegant black evening gown, she had a fashionable hairstyle and wore vibrant makeup, her long, curled eyelashes particularly striking.

The girl’s gaze immediately fell upon Bai Han, standing at the back of the crowd, and her expression darkened. “What are you doing here?”

Bai Han kept her head down, her voice timid. “I just came for a walk.”

“Bai Ying, is she really your sister?” Several women spoke with disdain, their eyes shifting between the two sisters.

Bai Ying shot an impatient glance at Bai Han. “What are you still standing here for? Look at how you’re dressed! No lady dresses like that. If you have nothing else to do, go back to your room and stay there. Don’t make a spectacle of yourself.”

Huo Jianan frowned. Seeing the frail girl lower her head and flee silently, she called out, “Second Young Miss Bai, please wait.”

Bai Han stopped, awkwardly twisting the hem of her dress. “What is it?”

Huo Jianan smiled warmly, her tone gentle and friendly. “Thank you so much for your help today. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Second Young Miss Bai.”

Since no one else respected her, Huo Jianan was more than willing to show her some respect. Putting aside everything else, Bai Han had just helped her up, preventing her from falling. Though clearly timid and uncomfortable with social gatherings, she had been willing to call for help to assist a stranger like Huo Jianan.

A crimson blush instantly spread across Bai Han’s face. “No problem,” she said, then fled the scene as if escaping a disaster.

Bai Ying snorted coldly, looking down her nose at Huo Jianan. “Miss Huo, we meet again. Aren’t you cold sitting on the ground like that?”

“Not cold, just a bit prickly. Where did you import your lawn from? It looks nice and high-end, but it’s all just surface. At its core, it’s still crude and vulgar. No amount of packaging or pretense can change its rotten essence.”

The others weren’t fools; they understood Huo Jianan was using the lawn as a veiled insult against Bai Ying, and they nearly burst out laughing. But with Bai Ying right there, they had to desperately suppress their amusement.

Bai Ying, naturally, understood the insult. Her beautiful face twisted into a snarl. “What did you say? Huo Jianan, is your brain as crippled as your legs?”

The group exchanged stunned glances. Was Bai Ying about to start a physical confrontation?

Huo Jianan retorted, “My legs may be disabled, but my mind is perfectly fine. I can still tell the difference between someone decent and a vile person.”

“Who are you calling vile?” Bai Ying snapped, her temper flaring. She wanted nothing more than to kick this malicious cripple across the room.

Huo Jianan beckoned to Wang Baobao. “Baobao, could you help me up?”

Wang Baobao wheeled over and effortlessly lifted her into the wheelchair.

Huo Jianan bid farewell to the others. “Goodbye, ladies! Thank you for accompanying me in the garden. It was lovely to breathe the fresh air with you!”

Two of the women couldn’t help but smile and wave back, murmuring, “Goodbye.”

Bai Ying called out, “Huo Jianan, you still haven’t said who you find vile!”

Huo Jianan turned back to look at her. “Did we ever go on a blind date? Fortunately, heaven spared us from being together. A union between us would undoubtedly have been disastrous.”

“You!” Enraged, Bai Ying yanked off her shoe and hurled it at Huo Jianan. Her friends tried to stop her, but failed. The diamond-encrusted shoe flew through the air.

Wang Baobao hadn’t expected Bai Ying to disregard her status and actually throw her shoe in this setting. He gasped, “Watch out!”

Huo Jianan twisted her body and ducked, narrowly avoiding the flying shoe.

The shoe crashed to the floor with a thud, its heel twisting at an awkward angle.

Huo Jianan sighed regretfully, “What a nice shoe. Too bad it met such an unfortunate end.”

“What did you say?!” Bai Ying removed her other shoe, ready to throw it as well.

Seeing her intent, Wang Baobao pushed Huo Jianan forward and hurried away.

Several of Bai Ying’s companions rushed to restrain her. “Stop, Bai Ying! Don’t throw another one! If your father finds out, he’ll scold you!”

“Don’t you see? That lame girl insulted me first!” Bai Ying was furious, throwing caution to the wind as she raged, “This disgusting, stinking cripple! Now she’s coming back to get her revenge!”

Bai Ying’s venomous curses echoed through the small hall.

At that moment, a tall, slender woman in gold-rimmed glasses entered, carrying two glasses of wine. A faint smile played on her lips as she asked, “Young Miss Bai, why are you so angry?”

Bai Ying looked at the newcomer. Recognizing her, she said, “Oh, it’s you? Didn’t you hear everything? Why are you asking again?”

The woman swirled the wine in her glass and turned to Bai Ying’s friends. “Young Misses, may I speak to Miss Bai Ying alone?”

The group seemed to recognize this attractive and charming Alpha. Smiling, they withdrew. “Of course. Talk away.”

The woman raised her glass and offered it to Bai Ying. “Since she’s so despicable, getting angry won’t help. It won’t alleviate your frustration.”

Bai Ying took the glass with a dismissive snort. “Then what will alleviate it?”

The woman adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, her tone light. “Kill her. Strip her of everything.”

Bai Ying laughed. “Huo Zhushan, I know you want her dead—preferably with the entire Second Branch wiped out.”

“Of course,” Huo Zhushan replied without hesitation. “Don’t you want her to fall into the mud? Then you can do whatever you want to her.”

“I never thought about it before, but now…” A venomous hatred flickered in Bai Ying’s eyes. “I want her to die slowly!”

“Then let’s toast our success!” Huo Zhushan raised her glass and clinked it against Bai Ying’s.

The red wine slid down her throat as Huo Zhushan leaned down and kissed her, then scooped her up and laid her on the sofa.

“What are you doing? There are people outside!”

“So? Are you scared?” Huo Zhushan’s searing lips entwined with hers.

Bai Ying wrapped her arms around Huo Zhushan’s neck. “Go in there.”

Huo Zhushan carried her through the door. The small storage room was cluttered with miscellaneous items.

The two kissed passionately in the cramped space, Bai Ying pressed against the door, her skirt hiked up to her waist. As their fervor intensified, Huo Zhushan gripped her waist, panting heavily. “That cripple Jianan thinks she deserves you?”

“What does she even count for!” Bai Ying’s cheeks flushed crimson. “She doesn’t deserve you, but do you?”

Her words seemed to enrage Huo Zhushan, who pressed harder. “I don’t deserve you now, but you’re begging me to mark you.”

The smell of tobacco exploded, instantly filling the cramped space.

Under the Alpha’s pheromones, Bai Ying arched her neck, her body going limp. Huo Zhushan swept her long hair aside, trapping her face in her palm, and bit down fiercely.
