Mistakenly Took a Crazy-Beautiful, Baiting Omega for My Wife 6

Chapter 6

[Good evening.]

Good evening? Su Guan held her phone, stunned for a long moment, unsure of how to reply.

She had no one to confide in right now. None of the original host’s friends knew she was dating Gu Yixi, and to maintain secrecy, Gu Yixi had forbidden her from telling anyone.

So she couldn’t tell Wen Shijin. Just thinking about her friend’s excitement earlier, Su Guan had a gut feeling that she would raise hell if she found out.

The only other people who knew were her mother and her mom.

Her O-mom was beyond uncaring; her attitude could only be described as “disdainful.” Just as she disliked Fang Jinyue, she looked down on the original host’s relationship with Gu Yixi.

After all, one was a noble and ruthless Omega, while the other was a minor Alpha from a family barely coasting on its past glory, with no reputation to speak of.

Forget Su Yaying; even Su Guan, who had transmigrated, felt the same way.

After all, what could she expect? The book was a scum Omega novel by design.

Despite Su Guan’s strong reservations, the friend request had been accepted, and Gu Yixi had even sent the first message.

It seemed she was in a good mood—Su Guan naturally thought of the increased affection level.

Though it was still a negative number, at least it had gone up.

After a moment of deliberation, Su Guan decided to play it safe and replied with the same phrase, adding a respectful title.

[CEO Gu, good evening.]

Su Guan had been very polite in her original world as well. After sending the message, she quickly added another:

[My apologies for being so forward today.]

Thinking back on the situation, Su Guan cringed so hard her toes curled—in front of everyone, with the bodyguard waiting and the car door open, she had recklessly rushed over to brazenly ask for her contact information again.

The blush from that moment seemed to creep back up her cheeks, burning hot.

Her heart began to pound again, thump, thump, thump.

She had no idea how the fickle scum Omega would react to that.

Su Guan hadn’t really imagined many scenarios, other than Gu Yixi deleting her again for her own amusement.

But if Gu Yixi deleted her one more time, Su Guan swore on her conscience that she would absolutely not add her back.

Not only would she not add her back, but she would also completely reform the protagonist from head to toe and then come clean to the System.

[It’s fine.]

“G’s” reaction was “abnormal”—abnormally normal for a supposedly fickle scum Omega.

In other words, Gu Yixi was acting quite normal right now.

Su Guan stared at the three simple words on her screen, holding her breath.

It’s fine?

Su Guan was baffled. Her previous plans had all revolved around how to get rid of the scum Omega and the pitfall-worthy System. Gu Yixi’s sudden normalcy threw her for a loop.

But she recovered quickly. The System’s description flashed through her mind.

The original host had been a hopelessly devoted simp, content to be a secret lover. It wouldn’t be hard to get into character.

The escape plan would be put on hold for now. She’d follow the System’s script first—freedom was precious, but life was more so.

According to the original plot, this banquet was hosted by the Gu family, and the scum Omega had no idea the protagonist Alpha was coming. So, when the protagonist Alpha appeared out of nowhere, the scum Omega’s mood soured instantly, and she threw a glass of sparkling wine at Su Guan’s head.

The whole point was to be a hopelessly devoted simp, the type to follow her target anywhere.

Su Guan took a deep breath and typed out a message.

[I’m still very sorry. I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, I even had a fever and forgot a lot of things, which is why I only added you back now.]

She nervously hit send, wondering if she had said anything wrong.

Would the scum Omega’s good mood last?

The System hadn’t given her much information about the scum Omega. Other than knowing she was ruthless and powerful, she knew nothing else.

The fickle scum Omega could very well delete or block her mid-conversation.

Su Guan pinched the bridge of her nose, bracing herself for the other side to go silent and for her messages to turn red again.

Unexpectedly, the scum Omega seemed to have the patience to hear her out tonight.

[You didn’t think of adding me back before you got sick?]

Though they were just cold, hard words, Su Guan could almost see the faint, mocking smile on the woman’s lips.

When they met in the restroom, Su Guan had felt rude for seeing her flushed gland—thinking back now, Gu Yixi’s surprise at the time must have been because she found it amusing.

The scum Omega was fickle, often hitting, cursing, and blocking the original host. She was probably acting this way now because, starting from their chance encounter, she thought things were getting interesting.

Or perhaps… she just didn’t have a glass of sparkling wine on hand to douse Su Guan with.

…

Gu Yixi did indeed find it amusing and interesting, but not because she enjoyed toying with Su Guan.

At this moment, she was sitting on a lounge chair in front of a massive floor-to-ceiling window, gazing absently at the boundless, glittering nightscape below while staring at her phone screen.

The night wind carried a damp mist, washing over her in cool, gentle waves, barely soothing some of the feverish heat.

Just as Su Guan had seen, she was in heat. The slightly raised gland on her neck, veiled by her thick, dark hair, looked all the more flushed and vulnerable, emitting a fresh, alluringly sweet fragrance.

On a small side table next to her lay a few scattered suppressors.

She had planned to inject all of them tonight, but Su Guan’s actions had delayed her.

Her niece’s secret fiancée had run up to ask for her contact information, and then followed up with a string of apologies after adding her.

Right. Back in the restroom, her heat hadn’t been so intense. The subsequent surge had been triggered by that bitter orange scent.

It was the scent coming from Su Guan, but she seemed completely unaware of it.

…Just like before.

Su Guan’s reply came through.

[We weren’t friends anymore then, and then I got sick. As soon as I got better, I came to the banquet, my mom was very worried about me and even asked if I had come]

The text on the screen scrolled by, and by the end, she had even forgotten to add punctuation.

[But please don’t worry it’s just my mom who’s concerned my mother doesn’t care so it’s still just the three of us in our family who know]
[Just like in high school none of my friends know either]

A “praying hands” emoji appeared in the chat box.

The tide of heat was making Gu Yixi’s mind race. In contrast to her calm, slow demeanor online, her cheeks were now tinged with a faint crimson.

The back of her neck was burning, but she could only use suppressors to barely keep it in check.

The desire for release flooded her mind.

She picked up a suppressor, tore open the packaging, and injected it into her gland with practiced ease.

But she didn’t feel the expected rush of relief.

Instead, the bitter orange scent she had smelled that evening seemed to grow stronger—wisps of it curling around her nose.

She thought she might be hallucinating.

The suppressor wasn’t having much effect.

It was as if a shackled beast was trapped in the back of her neck, letting out a deep, muffled roar, day after day, without release.

Gu Yixi fell silent for a moment, then picked up her phone again, rereading Su Guan’s messages.

Though the heat was agonizing, she had gradually grown accustomed to this predicament and did her best to maintain her composure and judgment.

“We weren’t friends anymore then,” “it’s still just the three of us in our family who know,” “Just like in high school none of my friends know either”…

She had never had any contact with Su Guan.

Not openly, not secretly. Never.

Not in her past life, and not in this one.

…Falling for her niece’s Alpha fiancée was, after all, not something to be proud of.

That was why she had been so surprised today, and why, after a moment’s silence, she had agreed to Su Guan’s request.

But making official contact was not as wonderful as she had imagined.

Gu Yixi continued to stare at the phone screen.

The dark, heavy words seemed to grow barbs, digging deep into her pupils.

A suspicion suddenly formed in her mind.

Her fair fingertips tapped on the screen, quickly typing out a line of text.

[It’s nothing. Your health is the most important thing.]
[I won’t delete you again.]

A stillness filled the room. Gu Yixi lived alone.

Suddenly, a series of “gurgles” broke the silence. A tricolor, smooth-coated guinea pig scurried over, rubbing against her ankle.

She had two pets, a guinea pig and a West Highland White Terrier.

The latter was currently keeping her grandmother company.

After sending the message, Gu Yixi suddenly felt the feverish heat subside. She bent down, picked up the guinea pig, and soothed its smooth fur.

“It’s okay, Susu, I’m fine.”

Susu purred again.

It was an intuitive animal and could tell its owner was suffering through a difficult heat.

Just as Gu Yixi finished comforting Susu, the phone screen suddenly lit up again—

Su Guan had sent another message.

[No no, if you’re unhappy, you can just delete me]
[I don’t mind!!!]

As if for emphasis, there were three exclamation marks.

The burning sensation on her neck gradually faded, and it seemed to transport Gu Yixi back to that room filled with the scent of bitter orange.

That was the scent emanating from Su Guan’s glands.

Her niece’s Alpha fiancée, sincerely apologizing for accidentally stumbling upon her during her heat.

The guinea pig in her arms purred again, its two small, round eyes staring up at her.

As if concerned about what its owner would do next.

Gu Yixi stroked its fur again and said softly, “Don’t worry, this kind of thing will happen less and less from now on.”

She cradled the guinea pig with one arm and reached for her phone with the other, but it unexpectedly lit up on its own—

With the ringing of an incoming call.
