Chapter 44: The Omega Abandoned After a One-Night Stand (1)p2
It turned out that Chu Ruan, who was still biting down on her hand, had her jaw forcefully pried open by the Chu family bodyguards. After freeing Su Mingxiu’s hand, they pressed the girl’s head against the floor.
The little girl’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes filled with tears from the pain, but she refused to show weakness, swallowing her cries.
Su Mingxiu’s expression remained calm throughout the ordeal, as if she wasn’t the one who had been bitten. Looking down at the person in front of her, she subconsciously thought:
Soft?
This temperament doesn’t seem soft at all. I wonder where the ‘softness’ is.
She slowly removed her glove. Just as she was about to have them release Chu Ruan, she heard the system in her mind suddenly add: “Host, please respect the character setting. No OOC behavior allowed!”
Respect the character setting?
The person about to speak recalled the information she had just processed about the original owner. The original owner was an exceptionally talented psychiatrist, but because of her extraordinary abilities, there was practically no field in psychology she wasn’t proficient in. She had earned multiple doctorates at a young age, had a meticulous work ethic, and possessed exceptional professional skills. At the age of twenty-five, she became the deputy director of a renowned local hospital.
With her naturally charming eyes that seemed to gaze at everyone with affection, she had countless admirers throughout her school years and career.
But she had never accepted anyone’s advances. This seemingly open-minded attitude earned her a good reputation.
However—
Only Su Mingxiu knew that the original owner had many ambiguous relationships. Whether it was with Betas or Omegas, she would use mind control on them, making them completely devoted to her. Then, she would grow tired of them, implant a psychological suggestion, and get rid of them.
So no one knew the terrible things she had done. Her image remained perfect.
[Can being a scumbag be considered a character setting?]
Su Mingxiu, after reviewing the original owner’s short twenty-five years of life, felt an itch in her back teeth.
Strangely, she felt that the system had ill intentions towards her. But because her memory fragments were too scattered, she had no evidence.
The most urgent matter was to rescue Chu Ruan from this situation.
“Let her go,” Su Mingxiu said, placing her injured right hand, still bleeding with teeth marks, on the armrest. Her eyes curved into a smile, seemingly apologetic, making Chu Ruan, who had been glaring at her, feel a strange sense of guilt. “This is too rude to my fiancée.”
The iron-like grip on her shoulders was finally released by the Chu family bodyguards.
“I’m so sorry, Ruanruan is still young and doesn’t understand things. She stood you up yesterday—”
A voice came from behind the two bodyguards. Su Mingxiu looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a seemingly kind face, but his wrinkles were filled with calculations.
“Knowing that Dr. Su is a key member of Renxin Hospital and rarely has days off, I specifically had someone bring her here today. The night is long, you can take your time and collect some interest from her.”
Seeing that Su Mingxiu didn’t react, the middle-aged man changed his tactics and said: “Of course, if you find it troublesome or are unwilling to forgive her so easily, we can take her back and teach her a lesson before sending her back.”
Su Mingxiu didn’t answer. The room fell silent, only the sound of water trickling from the rockery in the corner could be heard.
A faint sandalwood fragrance wafted through the air.
Su Mingxiu’s gaze casually followed the scent and noticed the antique decorations in the hall, with landscape screens, a rockery, and a fish pond. The sandalwood fragrance came from a dark gold incense burner in the corner, wisps of smoke curling upwards.
Just as the head of the Chu family was getting restless, Su Mingxiu finally spoke again. Her smiling eyes instantly dispelled the oppressive atmosphere in the room.
“No need to trouble yourselves.”
“Uncle Chu can rest assured and leave her here. As fiancée and fiancée, we should spend some time together to cultivate our relationship.”
Hearing her say this, Chu Lei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, assuming that she wouldn’t hold Chu Ruan’s absence yesterday against the Chu family. He quickly excused himself, leaving with the bodyguards, giving the two ample time to get along.
As for whether Chu Ruan would be treated well—
As long as the Chu family could successfully climb up to the Su family, it didn’t matter to him even if Su Mingxiu used her to vent her anger. If something truly happened to Chu Ruan, the Chu family could demand even more benefits with justification.
After the unnecessary people left, only the breaths of the two remained in the spacious apartment.
Chu Ruan stood there, putting on a brave face, her sharp barbs still faintly visible. She pulled her hoodie tighter, but it couldn’t hide the edge of the simple black pheromone suppression collar around her neck. She lowered her head and mumbled: “I… I don’t like Alphas, and I don’t want to marry you.”
Her toes pointed towards the door, as if ready to flee at any moment.
Su Mingxiu looked at her with those beautiful, alluring eyes. The small mole under her left eye seemed like a stroke of genius from the Creator, softening the intensity of her gaze and making anyone who met her eyes feel a sense of trust.
“The first aid kit is in the top drawer of the cabinet in the first room down the hallway.”
She replied, seemingly ignoring Chu Ruan’s words.
Chu Ruan pursed her lips. Her features were exceptionally delicate, especially now, wearing that oversized hoodie, her face seemed even smaller, her aura softer, like a delicate flower in a greenhouse, eliciting pity.
Seeing her pursed lips, Su Mingxiu smiled gently and asked: “What’s wrong? You bit me, shouldn’t you treat my wound?”
Thinking about her request to break off the engagement, Chu Ruan belatedly realized that the person in front of her seemed to be easy to talk to. In that case, her actions after being brought to the Su residence were a bit too extreme.
Since she needed a favor, she should… apologize for her behavior earlier.
So she walked towards the room cautiously. When she opened the door, she felt like she had entered a medical clinic. The cold, white-walled room had rows of glass and metal cabinets lining the walls, filled with various medicines neatly labeled and organized by size.
And in the center of the room, there was even a small operating table!
With a surgical lamp above it!
Chu Ruan’s heart skipped a beat. By the time she found the home first aid kit and came back out, her legs felt weak. Standing a few meters away, she looked at Su Mingxiu as if she was a psychopath from a movie, capable of doing terrible things at any moment.
As she approached with the first aid kit, her voice trembled.
“The… the first aid kit you wanted—”
“I-I-I still have evening self-study at school, c-can I go back…”
Seeing that she couldn’t even speak properly, her face pale, Su Mingxiu felt like she had scared the little girl too much.
She immediately placed her injured right hand in front of Chu Ruan, raised an eyebrow with a smile, effectively silencing her. Chu Ruan clumsily started unwrapping a cotton swab.
As she lowered her head, the black pheromone suppression collar around her neck became even more prominent.
Whether it was due to the material or the design, there was some space between the black collar and her neck. Now, as it hung loosely, it looked more like a necklace.
Su Mingxiu raised her uninjured left hand, her fingertips tracing the material of the collar. Suddenly, she exerted force, pulling the person who couldn’t even open the cotton swab wrapper into her arms.
Chu Ruan was stunned, realizing that the situation wasn’t good. She immediately struggled, her face flushed red.
“Don’t move.”
A soft, gentle voice came from above, magnetic and soothing, making Chu Ruan’s limbs weak. Then, the second half of the sentence followed unhurriedly: “I’m just checking the material.”
“Be good, and I won’t do anything else tonight.”
Chu Ruan: “!”
