A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 16

Song Ranxue knew absolutely nothing about what was happening online. She was singing with complete focus. After arriving here, she had barely had any time to practice singing. She could only squeeze in time every day to warm up her voice. She did not even have time to dance, only to stretch her legs and do a few basic movements. It was truly… irritating.

Song Ranxue was extremely strict with herself. Although she had no work right now, she also knew that if she wanted to continue making a living in the entertainment industry, then her professional ability absolutely could not decline. She had to maintain it properly.

Because of this, when the bar owner asked her to do a trial performance, she was very satisfied. Not only that, she also enjoyed it immensely. Throughout the entire performance, she was very relaxed. It was obvious she truly enjoyed the stage.

This could be seen from the fact that she even added a bit of improvised rap to the song. That rap did not feel unnecessary at all; instead, it added a strong personal flair. The whole thing was smooth from beginning to end, simply an excellent auditory experience.

Song Ranxue’s voice belonged to the kind of bright high register that made it hard to distinguish between male and female. If one really had to describe it, it was a mature childlike voice, balanced at the threshold between a voice changing and retaining its original childish clarity. A voice like hers… placed on an Alpha nearly 1.8 meters tall should actually have seemed a little out of place, but she managed to strike a balance—

At the very least, she could make her voice sound completely natural, and it could very quickly draw people’s attention and make them accept it.

By the time Song Ranxue finished the chorus and the improvised rap and approached the ending, the entire audience had already been stirred up. She did not relax her state either. Instead, near the end, she delivered a divine-like vocal run, the kind that seemed improvised, yet also as if it had been carefully constructed. Those who heard it felt their hearts surge and could not come back to themselves for a long time. It was simply far too stunning.

Who could have imagined that in such a mixed and chaotic place, one could hear such an outstanding song? It was truly too unexpected.

“Thank you, everyone. I hope you all liked this song, Just Like Fire!” Song Ranxue had actually sung with great investment, even getting a little hyped herself. She really liked this song too much, and she also greatly enjoyed the feeling of standing onstage. It was simply far too nostalgic.

After finishing the song, she could not wait to look back at the bar owner, wanting to see his reaction. Unexpectedly, he seemed frozen in place, as if he had not yet come back to his senses. The light in his eyes was almost too intense to look at directly.

“Cough—”

Song Ranxue felt a little uncomfortable. Although she had seen plenty of gazes full of amazement after watching her perform, she had not been onstage for a long time, and she had also emptied herself out, officially starting again from the beginning. She had not immersed herself in her past achievements and adoration.

So, seeing such a nearly worshipful and admiring gaze in that instant still made her not especially at ease.

She took the microphone and stepped down from the stage, smiling as she asked, “Boss, my singing should be all right?”

Only when the bar owner saw her looking over did he come back to himself. Catching sight of her smile, his heart inexplicably trembled for an instant, but he quickly reacted. “Very good, extremely good! Can you sign the contract and start work immediately?”

For some reason, when Song Ranxue heard the words “sign the contract and start work immediately,” the corner of her eye twitched. Leng Xingxuan’s cold, stunning face inexplicably surfaced in her mind again. Thinking of the misunderstanding she had caused, she still asked one more question. “The job content is singing at the bar as a resident singer, right?”

“Yes. But if you want to do a little more, that’s also possible.”

“?”

Song Ranxue did not quite understand what he meant. She tilted her head slightly and looked at him, waiting for his answer.

“Cough, never mind. Your singing really is very good. I just wanted you to sing a few more songs.” The bar owner felt that if he rashly made some request such as dating or something like that, he would definitely scare her away. It would be better to first have her stay. Anything else could be discussed later.

So he changed the subject and spoke of something else.

“Today probably won’t work. My family is still waiting for me to go home. Once I officially start work, I’ll sing a few more songs.” Song Ranxue could tell that the bar owner truly liked her singing, and she smiled sincerely as well. But it really was already getting late. She could not continue staying here. She had to go back first and let her family know she was safe.

“All right. Leave me your contact information first. Once the contract is ready, you can come sign it. But you can come work tonight.” The bar owner’s name was Hang Qingbai, and he also took the initiative to introduce himself to Song Ranxue. Hearing his name, Song Ranxue somehow felt that it sounded a little familiar. After all, there were not many people surnamed “Hang.”

But no matter how she thought about it, she could not remember. In the end, she could only give up. They exchanged contact information, and then she left.

Of course, Hang Qingbai did not go back on his word. Before she left, he still gave her one thousand yuan. “It’s actually still a little little, but this is all the cash the shop has for now. I’ll make up the rest to you later.”

“One thousand yuan is already a lot! Thank you so much! You’ve solved my urgent need!” Song Ranxue said to him very happily, seeming genuinely delighted.

After all, before she transmigrated, back when she had not debuted yet, singing at a bar for a whole night only earned her two or three hundred yuan. Now, she had only done a trial song and had not officially started work, yet the other party gave her a thousand yuan as payment. It was truly beyond her expectations.

Her eyes and brows overflowed with smiles.

Seeing her happy, Hang Qingbai also became happy. “You can work here without worry. I won’t treat you badly.”

“All right, thank you! Then I’ll leave first!” Song Ranxue was truly happy. After taking the money, she also left with a smile. The smile on her face was bright and lively, and under the sunlight, the tear mole beneath her eyelid shone brilliantly, adding a few traces of bewitching prettiness to her. It made people completely unable to look away.

Hang Qingbai stared almost dazedly at the smile before him. Even after she left, he still could not forget it for a long time. His heart also kept pounding nonstop, unable to calm down at all. He felt that he seemed to have fallen in love with that Alpha at first sight.

He just did not know… whether she had a partner…

An Alpha as unique and outstanding as her very likely already had a partner, right?

Thinking this, Hang Qingbai felt inexplicably a little disappointed.

After receiving the one thousand yuan payment, Song Ranxue went home almost joyfully. On the way back, she also bought a little more fruit. She was completely unaware that, because of her, the internet had already exploded. More than a dozen trending topics had climbed onto the trending list together, simply shocking everyone.

“Mom, Ah-Ning, I’m back! Look what delicious things I bought for you!”

Song Ranxue soon returned home. However, before she could exchange more than a few words with her younger sister and mother, she suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number. Realizing something, she immediately restrained her smile and went to the balcony at home to answer it. Sure enough, the moment the call connected, Tang Heya’s furious, useless voice came from the other side. “Song Ranxue, I already apologized to you the way you wanted! Why are you still doing this to me?!”

“Miss Tang, you can speak a little louder and shake my phone until it breaks, and you can also let me properly record your words and post them online.”

Naturally, Song Ranxue held the phone farther away to avoid having her eardrums shattered by the other woman.

“Song Ranxue, you’re still making sarcastic remarks here! I already did what you wanted. Why are you still targeting me like this? Will you only be satisfied if I leave the industry?!” Tang Heya was clearly still very agitated. No matter what Song Ranxue said, she felt that the other woman was brushing her off, and her voice grew louder and louder.

Song Ranxue did not even know what she had done to make her so worked up, so she could only say, “You’ve been cursing me this whole time, but I don’t even know what you’re cursing about. Can you explain it a little more clearly?”

“You! You’re still pretending!” Hearing Song Ranxue’s calm, uninvolved voice, Tang Heya’s rage had already reached its peak. Almost without thinking, she cut her off sharply, her voice rising even more.

“Aren’t I asking you nicely because I still don’t know what happened? And you actually say that about me?” Song Ranxue smiled without warmth as she spoke to her. “If you don’t want to speak properly, then please shut up.”

“You! Didn’t you look at the trending topics? Wasn’t it you who posted your own singing video and bought a trending spot right when I released my apology statement, letting the entire internet humiliate me?!” Hearing that Song Ranxue’s tone seemed as if she truly did not know, Tang Heya’s anger miraculously lessened a little, and she could now speak a few words to her calmly.

“?” Although Song Ranxue had not seen the trending topics, after hearing Tang Heya say this, she understood what she meant. “Miss Tang, the reason I’m in this situation today is actually all thanks to you. If you hadn’t stabbed me in the back, making the whole internet hate me and leaving me unable to debut or earn money, I wouldn’t need to look for part-time work singing. If I hadn’t sung, I wouldn’t have gone trending, and then you wouldn’t be assuming I was smearing you.”

“You mean I caused all of this myself?!” Tang Heya’s voice rose again.

“Endlessly stupid,” Song Ranxue said bluntly, not bothering to be polite.

“…” On the other end, Tang Heya was so angry she could not speak again.

“You’ve prepared the termination contract, right? I’ll go back to sign it sometime in the next few days when I’m free. Once it’s signed, I’ll take the initiative to delete those dark-history posts of yours.” Song Ranxue did not care what mood she was in. “Also, please don’t have that lover of yours come looking to cause trouble for me again. She’s bad at it but addicted to trying. Even talking to her feels embarrassing.”

“…” Tang Heya felt that she was about to explode from anger.

“Is there anything else?” Song Ranxue had stated all her demands. After finishing, she could only hear the other woman’s breathing, so she knew Tang Heya must have been enraged by her. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. I wish you luck.”

“…” Tang Heya felt that Song Ranxue’s “I wish you luck” sounded like a curse, making her heart even more unsettled and her anger even stronger.

However, she had nowhere to vent her anger, because she knew that Song Ranxue really was a very formidable person.

Back then, she never should have offended her.

In the end, Song Ranxue hung up very quickly. After hanging up, she also went online to look at the trending topics. Sure enough, she saw that she had gone viral, with more than a dozen trending topics hanging there.

But she actually did not care about this much. She only looked at Tang Heya’s apology statement and confirmed that it was the same as the version she had checked before. Only then did she feel reassured.

Then, she suddenly saw a message lying unread in her private messages, inviting her to apply for an opportunity. When she clicked it open, it turned out that a prospective girl group was short one final candidate and hoped she would come audition.

At the same time, in her office, Leng Xingxuan also closed the proposal handed to her by a person in charge at Starlight Entertainment. Without much expression, she said to the other party, “When you select the final candidate in a few days, I’ll also attend.”

“Hm?” The person in charge thought she had misheard. But when she met Leng Xingxuan’s faintly mocking and playful gaze, she did not dare say anything. She only felt that… the Big Boss seemed to be in a rather bad mood right now.

What she did not know was that when Leng Xingxuan closed the proposal, her eyes had lingered for quite a while on the profile photo of one candidate named “Song Ranxue.” The corner of her lips curved into a cold smile.

—This time, you’re the one who ran into me. Don’t blame me for being impolite.
