A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 18

“So President Xuan has a habit of stealing other people’s things.”

Naturally, Song Ranxue could recognize what was on Leng Xingxuan’s wrist and whose it was. At this point, she had already torn away all pretense with her, so there was certainly no need to keep pretending anything.

Today, she had to completely sever her relationship with Leng Xingxuan. She could not have any further connection with her.

“Stealing?” Leng Xingxuan did not get angry after hearing this. She even let out a faint laugh. “I picked up… an ownerless lost item in the room. How can that count as stealing? That mouth of yours isn’t only good at cursing people. You’re quite good at slandering others too.”

“Very well then, President Xuan. This is my thing. That night, I accidentally left it at the scene. Please return it to me.” Song Ranxue did not lose her temper either. She even softened her tone as she made the request.

“Is this luck bracelet very important to you?” Leng Xingxuan took the bracelet off her wrist but did not immediately hand it to her. She merely turned the smooth, glossy orange-red cinnabar beads on it, seeming somewhat curious as she asked.

“Yes.” Song Ranxue did not deny it and still answered every question.

“What if I say no?” Leng Xingxuan looked at Song Ranxue’s face, which had remained extremely calm and even entirely undisturbed ever since she got into the car. Suddenly, she very much wanted to tear apart that deliberately composed expression and see her panic, cry, even… beg for mercy.

She admitted that she had indeed developed some vague, indescribable thoughts toward this Alpha. She wanted to destroy that misty, cloudlike face of hers.

Yet she was not especially willing to force her either. What she wanted even more was to make Song Ranxue sincerely submit, to make her utterly devoted.

“Name your price.” Song Ranxue did not know the exact relationship between Leng Xingxuan and Starlight Entertainment. It should be more than something as simple as investor. Nor did she know whether today had been a trap Leng Xingxuan set to take revenge on her and ruin her selection this time.

But what she did know was that Leng Xingxuan had made her get into the car and had deliberately revealed the cinnabar luck bracelet she had lost. She must have something to ask of her.

Song Ranxue did not know what that something was, but since Leng Xingxuan had put on such a full performance, there was bound to be room for negotiation. Since that was the case, she would not wait for Leng Xingxuan to speak first. She might as well ask directly.

“Miss Song really is clever.” Leng Xingxuan seemed somewhat satisfied with her reaction. A smile even appeared on her usually indifferent face. “It’s just that saying all the answers outright would be rather boring. Why don’t you have a good time tonight, Miss Song? If you can guess the answer, you can come find me and exchange it for your luck bracelet.”

“President Xuan…”

“Shh—”

Leng Xingxuan suddenly raised a finger and pressed it against her lips. Song Ranxue was caught off guard and had not expected Leng Xingxuan to make such a gesture, one that did not suit her status or personality. She instinctively froze, suppressing the tremor in her heart as she looked at her in great surprise, as if asking why she had suddenly done this. It had truly startled her.

In truth, Leng Xingxuan’s movement was also somewhat stiff. Naturally, she had done it deliberately, but she also knew that she was not suited to doing this kind of thing… Yet there was no helping it. She had to tame Song Ranxue. Otherwise… there really would not be enough time.

Moreover, aside from proper business, she truly was interested in Song Ranxue. Someone this calm and clear-headed… and an Alpha at that. It had been a long time since she had met anyone like this.

How could she not properly play with her?

Because of that, even though she felt extremely awkward inside, she still maintained her original action and looked at Song Ranxue with a faintly seductive gaze, the smile on her lips remaining unreadable from beginning to end.

Song Ranxue suddenly shivered. She moved back slightly, pulling some distance between them, and vigorously rubbed at the goosebumps on her arms. In an almost deeply uncomfortable tone, she said, “President Xuan… you don’t follow the charming, seductive fox-spirit route. I suggest you stop making things difficult for me…”

—Hahahahahahahaha, she’s so blunt, hahahahaha!

—Oh my god, she really has no romantic sense at all. Isn’t this Xingxing’s hidden character setting!!! Hahahahaha!!!

—I’m dying of laughter. What is Xingxing supposed to do now? She practiced for so long to reach this result today, okay!

…

Leng Xingxuan’s expression did not change, but she did withdraw her finger. “You like straightforward Omegas?”

“…What kind I like doesn’t really have anything to do with President Xuan, does it?” Thinking of the misunderstandings from the previous times, Song Ranxue emphasized again and again, “Right now, my career comes first.”

“Is that so?” For some reason, Leng Xingxuan thought again of that male Omega bar owner who had stood behind Song Ranxue that day, watching her sing with a face full of admiration. “I’m afraid things won’t go as you wish.”

“…” This conversation could not continue. Song Ranxue decided not to argue with her and instead changed the topic. “President Xuan, please give me your bank account.”

“If you find the answer to the question I want tonight, it won’t be too late for me to give it to you then.”

For some reason, Leng Xingxuan’s mood suddenly worsened. Just then, the car also stopped. She opened the door and got out first. Song Ranxue could only get out from the side door on her end. The moment she stepped out, she met several pairs of gossipy and complicated eyes. Song Ranxue looked carefully and already remembered who the people staring at her were.

Four of them were members of “rainbow whale.” Each one was a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged female Alpha. They looked about the same age as the original owner, all in their early twenties. The other woman, dressed in a professional suit and looking very capable, should be the girl group’s manager. She was also looking at Song Ranxue with a complicated expression.

Song Ranxue: “…”

She actually had no idea why Leng Xingxuan had brought her here. The place they had come to resembled a large KTV combined with a restaurant, an entertainment venue. Leng Xingxuan had even called the other four members of “rainbow whale” and their manager over. What exactly was going on?

She would not believe that after she had sung a song practically meant to humiliate Leng Xingxuan, Leng Xingxuan would still let a troublemaker like her enter “rainbow whale.” So after thinking for a moment, she still did not greet these members. She even planned to follow behind them and enter last.

After getting out of the car, Leng Xingxuan did not pay attention to her anymore. That female Beta assistant of hers hurried over to find her and whispered beside her ear for quite some time. When Leng Xingxuan raised her head, she also seemed to glance toward Song Ranxue inadvertently. Her gaze shimmered like rippling water, reflecting the brilliant sunset, making it impossible to understand the true emotions in her eyes.

But for some reason, an extremely bad premonition suddenly arose in Song Ranxue’s heart. When she wanted to look over again, Leng Xingxuan had already left together with her assistant.

Although Leng Xingxuan’s attitude when she left was still considered composed, one could still see that her expression was displeased. There seemed to be a trace of impatience and cold heaviness between her brows, as if she had encountered something troublesome.

Song Ranxue frowned slightly. The bad premonition grew stronger and stronger, but she forcefully pressed it down. The female lead Omega’s matters had nothing to do with her, a passerby character. She did not need to worry blindly.

For all she knew, she would only make things worse by trying to help.

Because of this, she finally withdrew her gaze with a clear conscience and prepared to enter last.

In truth, if her younger sister had not asked her several times where that cinnabar luck bracelet had gone… Song Ranxue really would not have wanted to follow Leng Xingxuan here. But the moment she thought of her younger sister… she could not bear to see the disappointed look in her eyes.

That was the familial love she had desperately wanted in her previous life. Now that she had finally obtained it, naturally, she could not bear to cast it away.

“Song Ranxue, my name is Duan Qianying. Hello, and welcome to ‘rainbow whale.’ I hope we’ll get along well from now on!”

Song Ranxue was just about to continue acting as a passerby character when she unexpectedly heard one of the members of “rainbow whale” take the initiative to speak to her. What she said was also so unbelievable that Song Ranxue was somewhat surprised. “You’re saying I joined your group?”

“Yeah. Otherwise, why would we bring you here for a celebratory meal?”

“…Is that so?” Song Ranxue grew even more unable to understand what exactly Leng Xingxuan meant. Perhaps Leng Xingxuan truly did have some interest in her. After all, the pheromones between them did not reject each other. But as for genuinely liking her and wanting to treat her well, that was not necessarily the case.

So what exactly was going on? Did Leng Xingxuan want to control her and then toy with her? Or did she want Song Ranxue to be her Alpha lover?

No matter which one it was, she could forget it.

“Hey, I saw that you and President Xuan seem pretty familiar. Are you two…” Just after Duan Qianying finished talking to her, another member of “rainbow whale” came over to chat, her tone full of gossip.

“Mu’an, don’t ask so many unnecessary questions.” The moment the Alpha named “Lin Mu’an” asked this, she was interrupted by Duan Qianying. Song Ranxue looked over and saw that this Alpha named Lin Mu’an was leaning shoulder-to-shoulder with another young female Alpha. It was clear their relationship was very good.

As for the last member… she seemed rather indifferent toward everyone, standing far off to the side in an unconventional, solitary manner. For some reason, her aura felt somewhat similar to Leng Xingxuan’s.

When the other woman saw Song Ranxue looking over, she merely glanced at her indifferently, then withdrew her gaze. Her expression did not look very good, and she even seemed somewhat disgusted by her.

Song Ranxue: “…”

She did not intend to care too much about their opinions. The urgent matter right now was to find the answer Leng Xingxuan wanted, so she could take the red bracelet back. Otherwise, that girl Ah-Ning would definitely be unhappy again.

Song Ranxue followed everyone inside and discovered that this buffet actually had Song Chuning’s favorite Basque cheesecake. This cake was very hard to buy outside, and even if one could buy it, it was not authentic. Now that she could actually see it here, Song Ranxue’s eyes immediately lit up. She took a photo and sent it to Song Chuning: [Little Sister, do you want to eat this…?]

However, just as she sent this message, she received a call from a number without a saved name. But at a glance, she recognized that this was Leng Xingxuan’s number. Her heart gave a thud, and she instinctively felt that Leng Xingxuan looking for her definitely meant nothing good.

Song Ranxue instinctively moved her finger toward the decline button, wanting to refuse the call. But the Alpha named Lin Mu’an happened to pass behind her and accidentally bumped into her, making her finger tremble and press the answer button instead.

Song Ranxue: “…”

“Hello?” Song Ranxue could only answer. For some reason, her heart actually loosened slightly, but there was no sound from the other side, only some chaotic noise. She could faintly make out Leng Xingxuan’s breathing, but it did not sound good. It was very rapid, making her feel somewhat worried too. “Hello? President Xuan?”

Slap—

Song Ranxue heard the sound of a forceful slap, making her brows twitch slightly.

“You bitch, you actually dared secretly make a call! I really underestimated you! Haven’t you always been looking for an Alpha to be your partner? Tonight, I arranged twenty for you… I guarantee they’ll serve you properly…”

…

“Beep, beep, beep—”

At some point, Song Ranxue’s hands had clenched tightly, as if she had also become furious to the extreme. But she still held her breath on this end and did not make a sound, wanting to listen for more information.

However, only a busy tone remained on the other side. Only the loud slap and that man’s crude, obscene voice echoed constantly beside her ear, making her whole body turn cold for some reason. She simply did not dare imagine what a fragile Omega like Leng Xingxuan might encounter.

The gland at the back of her neck suddenly burned with the violent fluctuation of her emotions. Pheromones, scorching like a rainstorm, surged fiercely, clamoring to burst out of her body, as if desperate to protect someone with her life—

At this moment, Song Ranxue realized that saying she did not care about Leng Xingxuan and would let her live or die on her own was not realistic at all.

She did not know how much she cared about her, nor whether it was the influence of pheromones or something else… But she absolutely could not just watch her be humiliated like this.

She calmly put away her phone, deciding to go look for her.

But just as she was about to leave and search for Leng Xingxuan, she received a message from her younger sister’s phone number: [Song Ranxue, your sister is in my hands now. If you want to save her, come to this address. Let’s settle our accounts properly! If you don’t arrive within half an hour… don’t even think about seeing your sister again.]

Song Ranxue looked at the message and gripped her phone tightly, knowing that her younger sister must have been implicated by her and abducted.

Her eyes trembled slightly. In that instant, her heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar—

Save Leng Xingxuan, or save her younger sister… She could only choose one.
