Crazy (Lily ABO) - Chapter 16
As dawn broke, Xin Ruofan was awakened by an urgent phone call. She glanced at the caller ID, and her mind instantly cleared. Fearing she might disturb the sleeping person beside her, Xin Ruofan quickly got up despite her body’s soreness and discomfort, grabbed the clothes from the floor to cover herself, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
The call connected. Before she could speak, an anxious voice came through: “Ruofan, your mother is in the hospital…”
“I know, I’ll be right over.”
Xin Ruofan hung up, returned to the bedroom, and immediately burrowed into the quilt filled with the scent of bitter peach. She hugged the naked Alpha and leaned in to kiss the sleeping woman’s lips. Her fingers restlessly teased the soft flesh between the Alpha’s legs, occasionally circling the tip. Soon, the flesh in her hand wantonly curled upward, even trembling with the rhythm of her stroking.
In her sleep, Teng Lin dreamed of when she was 16 and had just differentiated. In a dimly lit art studio, she pinned the girl beneath her, entering her body again and again. The girl bloomed exquisitely beneath her, hot and soft inside, intoxicating her, making her unable to pull away. Intense tuberose filled the room. Tears welled in the girl’s eyes, clearly reflecting the woman’s distorted smiling face in her light gray pupils.
Teng Lin stared blankly at her own face reflected in the pupils, but it was Teng Fei’s clear voice that spoke: “You are just like me.”
No… I’m not…
But her hands uncontrollably squeezed the girl’s neck, her fingertips slowly sinking into the skin.
“Teng Lin, you are just like us.”
No… I’m not like you…
“Crazy.”
I’m not…
“Sister Lin, Sister Lin…”
Teng Lin jolted awake, her muddled mind unable to clear instantly. She stared blankly at the Omega hugging her tightly, whose face was filled with worry, her brows deeply furrowed. “You’re awake? Did you have a nightmare?”
The morning activity had been halfway through when Teng Lin suddenly trembled all over, cold sweat breaking out on her body, and a low whimpering sound escaping her throat, as if she were trapped in a nightmare. Xin Ruofan immediately stopped, holding the Alpha tightly, gently comforting her.
Her scattered vision gradually focused, revealing a gentle smiling face, then a delicate jawline, distinct collarbones, slightly swelling pale mounds, and two pink cherries… Teng Lin violently broke free from her embrace, and a sudden wave of pleasure surged through her lower body. At the same time, the Omega let out a soft groan.
“Mhm ah…”
The hard c0ck was tightly clamped between the Omega’s legs. This sudden movement caused the shaft to harshly rub against the soft labia.
“S-sorry, did I hurt you?”
“Mhm… a little. It might be swollen. You need to kiss it to make it better.”
Teng Lin’s expression was very complex. Initially pale and stiff from the nightmare, her face was now slightly flushed from the Omega’s teasing. Xin Ruofan raised her eyebrows and chuckled lightly, feeling satisfied after her teasing. She gently poked her lip with her fingertip. “It won’t hurt if you kiss here.” Seeing Teng Lin seemingly hesitating and struggling, she leaned in, put her arms around the Alpha’s neck, and whined, “Just one kiss~”
Teng Lin couldn’t resist the Omega’s playful temptation. Blushing, she leaned in and kissed her lips. The gloom brought by the nightmare gradually dissipated, and a warm current surged from deep within her heart. She was hopelessly entangled in Xin Ruofan’s gentleness.
••••
At the private hospital, Xin Ruofan politely knocked on the ward door and pushed it open. The female Alpha on the hospital bed had a pale face, and the Omega sitting beside her wore a sharp black pantsuit. Both their gazes turned towards her. The moment Xin Ruofan walked in, a faint scent of bitter peach instantly diffused into the air, and both people in the ward frowned in unison.
“Were you marked?”
The woman on the hospital bed gripped the sheet tightly, her hands trembling as if she had used all her strength, her face even paler than before. Xin Ruofan raised an eyebrow, stating lightly, “What? Is your first sentence upon seeing me an accusation?”
“De’en, the doctor said you shouldn’t get too agitated.” The Omega beside her patted the woman’s hand reassuringly. Then she stood up, picked up a thermos from the table, and walked towards the door. As she passed, she gently patted Xin Ruofan’s shoulder. “I’ll go get some hot water. You two talk calmly, Ruofan. Don’t upset her, okay?”
“Got it, Aunt Xuan.”
The sound of the door closing echoed, and silence returned to the room. Xin Ruofan pursed her lips, and after a while, broke the silence, lowering her voice to ask, “Why were you suddenly hospitalized? Is your bl00d pressure high again?”
Xin De’en lay on the bed, closing her eyes, and softly hummed in affirmation.
“Did Uncle tell you?” Xin Ruofan pondered. “About Teng Lin and me.” Her mother’s bl00d pressure suddenly rising was undoubtedly due to being stimulated, and only matters concerning her daughter could agitate her so much.
“Does it have to be her?”
Although the woman on the hospital bed still had a dignified appearance, the hair at her temples had turned white, the fine lines around her eyes were more pronounced, and her face was full of fatigue. Xin Ruofan watched quietly; her mother was no longer young. Since her Omega mother passed away, Xin De’en’s health had steadily declined, worsening year by year, with frequent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Xin Ruofan couldn’t bear to agitate her, and her expression softened. “Emotionally, I’m just like you, I only recognize one person.”
Xin De’en looked up, meeting a pair of firm, stubborn eyes. Her daughter’s appearance increasingly resembled her deceased wife’s, especially when she saw those light gray pupils; the anger in her heart would always inexplicably dissipate. The woman sighed heavily, her demeanor full of weariness. Her lips parted, and the words she wanted to say were bitterly swallowed, swirling in her throat.
Seeing her silence, Xin Ruofan waited a moment before speaking solemnly, “Don’t worry. Uncle is targeting me; I won’t let you be implicated. I don’t have any obsession with the family company, nor any feelings for the Xin Corporation. I will leave the family. I’m just worried he might use you to threaten me, given your health…”
“But don’t worry, I’ve grown up. I can protect myself.”
“So… Mom, I’m sorry, I have to leave.”
Xin De’en stared blankly at the clean white ceiling until several calls echoed in her ears, and she slowly blinked. Xin Ruofan had already left; the tuberose scent in the room had almost completely dissipated.
“She’s gone.” As if expending all her strength, Xin De’en laboriously uttered the words.
“Mhm.”
“Zixuan, is our verbal agreement still valid?”
After Xin Ruofan’s Omega mother passed away, Xin Deming, for the commercial interests of the group, forced Xin De’en into a marriage alliance with Zhou Zixuan, the second daughter of the Zhou family, a giant in the financial industry. At that time, the Zhou family was interested in the Xin Corporation’s connections in Hai City. Zhou Zixuan agreed to the marriage because Xin De’en promised to help her escape the predicament of forced marriage, not to interfere with her career, and not to force any physical relationship. The only condition was that she could not harm her daughter, Xin Ruofan.
Zhou Zixuan nodded, responding, “Of course, I will keep my promise to you.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
“Please help me protect Ruofan.”
