A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 15

Looking at that message, a flush rose over Song Ranxue’s face again, and her heartbeat sped up slightly. She could not tell whether it was from excitement or guilt.

It was just that the alluring image she had finally managed to suppress surged before her eyes again—

Before transmigrating into the book, she had always held an appreciative attitude toward beauties and absolutely never had any intention of profaning them.

It was just that she suddenly realized something: sometimes, when a person’s beauty reached a certain level, it could become a weapon used against others. Formless, yet fatal. Soul-stealing and spirit-snatching.

And Leng Xingxuan… absolutely possessed the qualifications to make every Alpha reverse right and wrong for her, obeying her every word.

Song Ranxue got on the subway. As the cool air blew over her, her mood finally calmed again. She held her phone and checked it several times, but the other party did not send another message, as if that one text had only been sent on a whim, and as long as it achieved the purpose of embarrassing and toying with her, that was enough.

…She really was somewhat hateful.

Of course, Song Ranxue had not gone back just now because she had nothing better to do. She had wanted Leng Xingxuan to give her a bank account or some other contact method that could receive transfers, so she could return that twenty million to her the same way.

She did not want to have any monetary entanglement with Leng Xingxuan. To her, that was a kind of trouble, and also a kind of insult.

Not to mention, what happened yesterday was only a misunderstanding. There should not have been this strange, money-related transaction between them at all.

That was why she had gone back to ask for Leng Xingxuan’s account.

She had not expected… to see a scene like that. It was truly beyond her expectations.

Just thinking about it made the roots of her ears grow hot.

A person carved by the hand of a god… truly was the most flawless, making it impossible for one not to be moved.

Song Ranxue also knew that this matter could not continue dragging on, so she could only open that message and reply: [Hello, Miss Leng. Just now… I’m sorry.]

Leng Xingxuan replied very quickly: [Do you only know how to say sorry, while being unwilling to pay any actual price?]

Song Ranxue felt helpless: [Then what do you want?]

Leng Xingxuan: [Didn’t I already send it to you? One second is one million. You watched for five full seconds, so that will be five million, please.]

Song Ranxue: [I don’t have money right now. Maybe I can write you an IOU first and pay you once I have the money.]

—Hey, hey, hey, the villain is this easy to talk to???

—Way too unexpected!

—This is clearly Xingxing extorting her, and she actually silently swallowed this loss???

—What do you mean, swallowed a loss? We can’t even see our Xingxing’s beautiful back! It was exclusive to the villain! Since she saw it, she has to pay the price!

…

Leng Xingxuan looked at their bullet comments without speaking. She only replied: [Do you like being a sucker that much?]

Song Ranxue: “…”

She seemed somewhat unable to understand the female lead’s way of thinking, but there was not really anything to refute either: [You aren’t that cheap.] She had seen it, so she had seen it. If Leng Xingxuan wanted monetary compensation, then she would go along with her wishes. It was just that she truly had no money right now. Once she had money, she would definitely give it to her.

Although she knew Leng Xingxuan did not genuinely want the money, and merely wanted to make things difficult for her.

Even so, she still had to show the proper attitude. She could not let Leng Xingxuan suffer a loss.

Leng Xingxuan froze slightly when she saw the message Song Ranxue sent back. In truth, it was also somewhat beyond her expectations.

She had thought that Song Ranxue was penniless right now, and yesterday’s shoot had been ruined by her own mistake too. Faced with such an absurd demand, she would surely deny it every way she could and argue endlessly. But she did not. Instead, she took the initiative to offer an IOU.

Although this method was also a little strange.

But at the very least… she did not think of shirking responsibility. She handled things openly and honestly, which truly exceeded Leng Xingxuan’s expectations.

[I didn’t come back just now to sneak a look at you. I wanted you to give me an account so I could transfer the twenty million back to you.]

Leng Xingxuan’s phone vibrated again. Song Ranxue sent another message, explaining the misunderstanding from earlier in a concise and clear manner, without the slightest coyness.

She suddenly felt somewhat puzzled. A person like this… why had she fallen to the point of being an eighteenth-tier little idol who was hated across the entire internet?

[Miss Leng?] Seeing that she did not answer, Song Ranxue sent another message.

Leng Xingxuan returned to her senses. For some reason, a thought surfaced in her heart. She rubbed the cinnabar luck bracelet in her hand and, after considering it, replied: [Give it to me in person the next time we meet. In the meantime, you can use that money however you like.]

Song Ranxue: […] She had never expected Leng Xingxuan to say this. Even if Leng Xingxuan did not lack this twenty million, was this really how she casually handed it over to an Alpha whose background she did not know?

Ah, no. She must have investigated her long ago. Her personal résumé and medical report might even be spread out on Leng Xingxuan’s desk. In front of Leng Xingxuan, she had no secrets at all.

It was just that what she was doing did not seem like trust. It was more like playing with her, watching her struggle in the face of human nature.

Song Ranxue did not reply again. She felt that at this stage, she was no match for Leng Xingxuan. She was only a pastime for the other woman when she was bored. After all, someone who could spend tens of millions to find a lover, and even come up with so many tricks, was not someone she could confront directly.

Since that was the case, she might as well ignore her.

As for that money… she would not be so stubbornly proud that she would refuse to touch it even in an emergency. It was just that things had not yet reached that point.

She should continue looking for work.

“Bzz—”

Another message came in. This time, it was not from Leng Xingxuan, but from the original owner’s younger sister. Thinking of the original owner’s sister, Song Ranxue’s eyes softened. She opened the message and read it. Seeing the words on it, she became a little anxious: [Sister, where are you? Are you coming back for breakfast? I made your favorite meatball congee and bought fried dough sticks.]

Song Ranxue knew her younger sister must be worried. After all, these past few days she had been leaving early and returning late, and she had not come home last night. It was normal for her to worry. So she quickly replied: [I’m coming back. I’m on my way now. You and Mom can eat first.]

Only after seeing her sister’s definite reply did Song Chuning let out a slight breath of relief: [Okay, Sister. I’ll wait for you.]

Song Ranxue did not reply again, but she instinctively touched her wrist. There had originally been a cinnabar luck bracelet there, personally woven for the original owner by her younger sister.

The original owner’s younger sister was a Beta. She was weak and sickly, and this year, she was still in high school. She also could not speak. In the original book, she had no presence at all. It was just that she had a pair of skillful hands. When schoolwork was not too busy, she would weave and make some things to livestream or sell online, bringing a little extra support to the family.

She and the original owner had a very good relationship, and she cared deeply about the original owner. This was a kind of concern Song Ranxue had never experienced before transmigrating into the book, and it made her linger.

The pearl rabbit brooch pinned to her clothes had also been specially made for her by her younger sister. It was the first gift she had received after transmigrating here. Although it was insignificant, it was also the first gift she had ever received from family.

Its meaning was great.

So even if not for herself, she had to treat her family well.

It was just that… Song Ranxue still felt heartache over that luck bracelet. She had actually gone back to Yinfeng SOHO to look for it, but she had not found it. Perhaps it really had been swept away, or perhaps someone had picked it up… In any case, it was a pity.

Song Ranxue rode the subway for five or six stops and transferred once before finally reaching the place where she lived. But after exiting the station, she still had to walk about fifteen minutes before returning to the original owner’s home.

The original owner still lived in an urban village. This truly could not be considered a good place. Fortunately, the house could still be considered theirs, so they could save some rent.

Song Ranxue was still in a fairly good mood. Before going home, she had to pass through a very lively commercial street. There was everything here. She planned to buy a few fruits to bring back for her mother and younger sister, but when she passed a bar and saw that they were hiring resident singers, she was instantly a little tempted.

Right now, she was indeed short on money. In order to live, the original owner had even borrowed some money from others. Yesterday’s modeling shoot had also fallen through. She could not keep asking Lin Yurou for help, and she already owed the other woman a favor.

So next, she could only solve the matter of finding part-time work by herself.

And this part-time resident singer job happened to suit her wishes perfectly.

So in the end, she still stopped and decided to go in and ask.

The bar owner was a male Omega. He looked not much older than the original owner and was quite easy to talk to. It was just that after Song Ranxue talked with him for a while, she discovered that his requirements were actually quite high, especially when it came to vocal tone. It had to be somewhat versatile, which rather surprised Song Ranxue.

The bar owner understood music.

“If you can do it, you can sing one song outside on our small stage.” After the bar owner finished explaining his requirements and the pay he could offer Song Ranxue, he said this to her.

“Of course I can,” Song Ranxue said almost without thinking.

“Good. Even though this song is only an audition, if you sing well, I’ll still pay you.” The bar owner said this, seeming somewhat expectant of Song Ranxue.

“Then thank you, boss.” Song Ranxue was not going to pretend to be above money and refuse what was already in her hands. She said this to him almost immediately.

Although it was only a little past ten in the morning, today was the weekend, and this was also the busiest part of the pedestrian street, so there were especially many people.

Although Song Ranxue had not performed onstage for a while, that did not affect her ability in the slightest. Before going onstage, she had already chosen a song suitable for everyone to listen to. After telling the boss, she prepared to go onstage.

After picking up the microphone, she discovered that this boss was actually someone rather particular. The microphone he used… was worth quite a lot. He really did sincerely want to run this bar well.

Song Ranxue’s heart settled slightly. Once the accompaniment began, she started singing.

She had chosen an English song called Just Like Fire. Speaking of which, it was strange. Most of the songs that existed in reality also existed in this book world. Perhaps the author had used part of the real world’s setting, which was why she could find familiar songs.

This song was very dynamic, but not overly noisy. Singing it in a busy marketplace did not feel out of place, and with its distinctive intro, it quickly attracted quite a few people over to watch.

She sang the opening lines, the lyrics carrying a sense of running out of time, wanting everything, and refusing to let others dim her.

This song was actually extremely technical. Just the turns and slides in the opening lines were numerous. If sung well, they could earn huge points. If sung badly, it would be like becoming a clown for others to ridicule.

But clearly, Song Ranxue’s voice was the kind that even heaven chased after to feed. The original owner’s vocal tone was practically identical to hers before transmigration, and even a little clearer. It was extremely recognizable and extraordinarily captivating, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Even the bar owner, listening behind her, revealed a look of amazement, as if he had not expected this.

Many spectators in the crowd had already taken out their phones to take photos and record videos. Even more were simply enjoying this sudden auditory feast. With eyes closed, they listened in intoxication. With eyes open, they watched that Alpha with her outstanding appearance and cold, composed aura, finding it pleasing to the eye.

The song ended very quickly, and an enthusiastic audience member immediately uploaded the video online, causing a sensation. At the same time, Tang Heya’s side reluctantly posted an apology letter, clearly and openly apologizing to Song Ranxue.

For a moment, the two pieces of news combined, instantly detonating the entire V-Bo!

Even Leng Xingxuan noticed these two pieces of news. When she saw the video of Song Ranxue singing, a flash of amazement passed through her eyes.

However, when she saw the male Omega behind Song Ranxue also looking at her with eyes full of amazement, even admiration, her gaze instantly cooled.

—Oh-ho! Sister’s love rival has appeared! Fight, fight. Rubbing hands.
