A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 19

What Song Ranxue could not deny was that what lay before her was undoubtedly a difficult and thorny choice.

No matter whom she chose to save, she could only fail the other side.

But although her heart was still struggling, the scales had already tilted toward family.

Putting aside for now how long she had been in this world, how deep her familial feelings with her family were, and how long she had known Leng Xingxuan… Leng Xingxuan’s disappearance would definitely have many people searching for her.

But her younger sister… might only have her, this one older sister.

No matter what, she could not abandon her own younger sister and go save Leng Xingxuan first. That was absolutely impossible.

It was just…

Song Ranxue gripped the phone in her hand and looked at the message sent to her in the name of the original owner’s younger sister, Song Chuning… She seemed unable to believe it. She had never thought that her younger sister… who was clearly so obedient on ordinary days, and only a little mute girl, would actually be targeted by others.

In the book, they were clearly only passerby characters. Her younger sister did not even have a name… It was only after she transmigrated into the original owner that she gradually came to understand the original owner’s life and everything around her. Yet she had never expected that even her younger sister would be dragged into this and used as a threat against her.

From the limited clues in the message, it could be seen that her younger sister, Song Chuning, must have been taken by He Yingxian and her people to deal with her and force her to compromise.

Whenever Song Ranxue closed her eyes, she would think of her younger sister’s gentle and patient expression. Whenever she saw something tasty, she would always leave some for Song Ranxue. She also worked very hard to take care of their sick mother. Whether it was the original owner or Song Ranxue, whenever she came home late at night, there would always be a cup of warm milk to soothe her stomach. Her younger sister was so warm and considerate… She was also the familial love that Song Ranxue, an orphan in her previous life, had dreamed of.

Now that her younger sister was in danger, as her older sister, Song Ranxue absolutely had to save her at the first possible moment, almost without hesitation.

But… in the instant she was about to act, she hesitated. The sound of the slap from the call Leng Xingxuan made to her lingered in her mind for a long time and would not disperse. This was originally not her plot and had nothing to do with her. She had clearly already made up her mind to stay far away from the female lead in the book, but… when she heard that slap, she felt as if her own heart hurt too, as if the tip of her heart had been pinched until it was about to bleed.

How many setbacks and schemes had Leng Xingxuan encountered in the book… No one knew better than Song Ranxue, this loyal reader. And what Leng Xingxuan was encountering this time should be an unprecedented crisis.

Because she remembered that, in the book, after Leng Xingxuan disappeared for several days one night, she completely severed herself from love and feeling. Toward any enemy or competitor, she no longer showed mercy, and even inflicted harsher punishment on them. She became an existence that struck terror into everyone in the book.

When Song Ranxue read the book back then, she had not dared imagine what Leng Xingxuan had experienced. The author had not described it in detail either. But now that she had transmigrated into the book and become part of it, even as a passerby character… she could glimpse what Leng Xingxuan would experience during the days and nights of her upcoming disappearance—

In ABO society, Alphas had always been stronger existences than Omegas. If Leng Xingxuan fell into a wolf’s den, it would certainly end in a tragic and brutal way.

The moment she thought of these things, Song Ranxue felt even more empathy and sorrow than she had as a reader, almost to the point of heartache.

Song Ranxue did not know why Leng Xingxuan had called her for help. She felt unbearably conflicted, as if countless little people were arguing inside her head, each stating all sorts of reasons to persuade her whether to save her younger sister first or save the female lead first…

The noise made her head feel as if it would explode. Pheromones rampaged through her body, yet she still could not take that step.

A battle between heaven and man raged in her mind. Her fists clenched tightly, and she was in so much pain that tears unconsciously flowed down. Her phone was gripped so hard it was nearly about to deform. All the liveliness around her turned into nothingness. Only she and those little emotional figures in her heart were fighting fiercely, yet no matter how they argued, they could not produce a result.

However, time waited for no one!

Save her younger sister! She had to save her younger sister! As for Leng Xingxuan’s side… she did not believe that no one would go save her.

Even if Leng Xingxuan really needed her, that would have to wait until after she saved her younger sister!

Time waited for no one! If she kept wasting time like this, she would not be able to save either of them!

Song Ranxue! Hurry up and move! Move! Move!

Go now!

“Little Song, what’s wrong?”

Just as Song Ranxue was about to make her final decision, Duan Qianying’s voice suddenly sounded beside her ear. Song Ranxue raised her head and looked over. At some point, her eyes had turned blood-red, red veins spreading across them. Against that, the enchanting tear mole beneath her eyelid gained several traces of mystery and depth, visible yet unreachable.

However, Duan Qianying was startled by her gaze. She instinctively held her breath, not even daring to breathe loudly. She could no longer utter a single word and could only stand frozen in place, unable to move.

The pressure unique to a high-ranking Alpha rushed toward her, making her hold her breath. Seeing Song Ranxue’s eyes seem to blink once, she almost thought the other woman would use her pheromones to crush her in the next second.

Something was wrong. Very wrong. She had come, and she was terrifying enough to make people’s blood run cold.

Duan Qianying endured her intense fear and tried to squeeze out a word to say to her. However, Song Ranxue seemed not to hear her at all. She only raised her eyes and looked toward the door, as if making some difficult decision.

The feeling she gave off… Her whole face was flushed from holding herself back, her entire body tense, her eyes desperate and pained. Just looking at her was shocking and made one’s heart feel terribly uncomfortable.

Finally, she took one step forward, as if she had made up her mind, completely immersed in her own world.

Duan Qianying sensed that something major must have happened to Song Ranxue, but she and Song Ranxue were not familiar yet, so there was no way for her to interfere.

Just as Song Ranxue was about to leave like a walking corpse, the special assistant who usually stayed by Leng Xingxuan’s side also arrived. Her eyes were also red. Although the expression on her face still looked calm, Duan Qianying could sense that she was doing her utmost to hide her anxiety. When she saw that Song Ranxue was also there, tears nearly spilled from her eyes.

People were coming and going here. It was not a good place to talk. This female Beta assistant’s name was He Wei. She was among the first group of people who had followed Leng Xingxuan, and she had always been loyal and devoted. Now that something had happened to Leng Xingxuan, she did not dare trust anyone, nor could she trust anyone. She could only come looking for Song Ranxue.

At the very least, Song Ranxue temporarily had no secrets from them.

Moreover, Leng Xingxuan did not reject contact with her. He Wei could not imagine Leng Xingxuan, after being rescued, still having to endure other people’s touch and then feeling nauseated, disgusted, and cold. The only thing she could do was allow her boss to feel slightly better.

But she did not know Song Ranxue’s attitude. After all, in her eyes, Song Ranxue was a hard bone who refused both soft and hard approaches. Not only that, she was also extremely capable. After all, someone who could make Guanghua Entertainment swallow this loss in silence, apologize to her, peacefully terminate her contract, and single-handedly reverse her image… In He Wei’s memory, there were truly not many people like that.

Song Ranxue was indeed the only exception. It was no wonder Leng Xingxuan valued her a little more highly and paid a little more attention to her.

“Miss Song, may I speak with you privately?” He Wei forced herself to calm down. She also knew that right now, she had to calm down and absolutely could not throw herself into confusion. Therefore, her tone also became steady.

Naturally, Song Ranxue recognized He Wei. With reddened eyes, she looked at her and moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, she gave up.

Seeing the despair and struggle in her eyes, He Wei’s heart also jolted. She had never expected Song Ranxue to become like this in such a short instant. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, and as if grasping a lifesaving straw, she said to her, “Miss Song, I know where we can find your younger sister.”

Song Ranxue instantly fixed her eyes on her, her expression changing slightly. “Where?”

At this moment, she no longer had time to ask why He Wei knew she had a younger sister, or why she knew her younger sister had gone missing. She could only ask the most crucial question, visible tension and hope appearing on her face.

“I can go save your younger sister, but please go save our boss.” He Wei calmly stated her request. Although she was a Beta and could not sense pheromones, she could still feel the pressure radiating from Song Ranxue. No one dared approach her.

Even she could sense the hairs on her head trembling silently. That was her instinct feeling afraid, driving her to leave.

But she could not. Under these circumstances, she could not abandon her boss and become someone who clung greedily to life and feared death.

She had to save her boss and tear apart all those who wanted to humiliate her boss!

After He Wei finished speaking, she looked at Song Ranxue, wanting to know her answer.

“…You want me to go with you to save your boss? Don’t you have people?” Song Ranxue finally sensed that something was wrong and could not help asking, finding it faintly strange.

Even if she was worried about Leng Xingxuan, she could not recklessly charge into the enemy’s den without asking anything. There were some things she had to ask clearly.

She had originally thought that if Leng Xingxuan was captured, even her subordinates would be powerless to rescue her, which was why they wanted Song Ranxue to save her. But judging from the current situation, this subordinate of Leng Xingxuan’s had full grasp of her situation. That proved she did not lack knowledge of where Leng Xingxuan was.

In that case, why did she not directly save her, and instead come looking for Song Ranxue? Song Ranxue did not think she was irreplaceable.

She had now calmed down slightly. Although her heart was still anxious and tormented, there were some things that had to be asked clearly. Otherwise, she might be sold off and still know nothing.

“Because this time… we may really need your help.” He Wei’s eyes were faintly anxious, but she still did not want to tell her the real reason.

“The reason?” Song Ranxue asked. Pressure overflowed from her body, still capable of crushing a person to death.

“Miss Song, this is President Xuan’s private matter. I cannot say. But… after you see her, perhaps you’ll understand.”

When He Wei heard her ask this, her eyes had already reddened unconsciously. She knew Song Ranxue would certainly question her, but she had no right to tell Song Ranxue about Leng Xingxuan’s affairs. So she could only silently look at her, waiting for her decision.

Song Ranxue looked at her silently for quite some time, as if weighing her words. In truth, her heart was also swaying uncertainly. This decision was still difficult, so difficult that she did not dare question her own heart.

But in the end… she still refused her. “The moment your boss is in danger, so many people will go looking for her. But my younger sister may only have me. I have to save my younger sister first before taking care of your boss.”

“But… I can save your younger sister. You only need to go save my boss. I absolutely won’t let anything happen to your sister.”

“No. I still can’t feel at ease. Just as your boss can’t feel at ease with me and has even grasped the movements of my family, I cannot trust your words.”

At this moment, Song Ranxue no longer wanted to waste words with her. She had already passed by her and walked outside. He Wei grew anxious and followed behind her, continuing to persuade her. “If I can rescue your younger sister before you reach the place where she was taken, will you immediately go save our boss?”

“How confident are you?” Song Ranxue looked at her with extreme scrutiny. Her heart, however, had already set off stormy waves. What was Leng Xingxuan’s purpose in watching her like this? Watching her alone was not enough; she even watched her family?

“Seventy to eighty percent.” At this point, He Wei no longer concealed anything and said it directly.

“Let’s go. Get in the car. I’ll trust you once.” Song Ranxue no longer hesitated and said this to her. At the same time, she also stated her condition. “But I must first fully confirm that my younger sister is fine before I can go save your boss.”

“Yes, yes, of course! That’s only natural! We will definitely rescue your younger sister safely! Please rest assured!”

He Wei was clearly extremely emotional, and tears were about to spill from her eyes.

Song Ranxue did not speak further, but inwardly sighed. She went out together with He Wei, still anxious in her heart. The other four members of Rainbow Whale and the other staff looked at them, wanting to say something but stopping themselves. There was always gossip in their eyes, but they still did not dare ask anything.

Still, no matter how foolish they were, they knew that Song Ranxue and their very, very highest boss, President Xuan, had a rather unusual relationship. For all they knew, there might be some unspeakable secret affair between them.

…

The two soon got into the car. After getting in, He Wei fell silent, constantly looking at her phone, making calls and sending messages. Sometimes, she became extremely emotional. Song Ranxue looked at her without speaking, only observing her expression. Then she saw He Wei’s expression suddenly pause, her eyes also seeming to glance in Song Ranxue’s direction, inexplicably guilty.

Naturally, Song Ranxue noticed and asked without revealing anything, “Is there new information?”

He Wei instinctively denied it. “No…”

“Don’t lie to me.” Song Ranxue cut her off directly, her expression already displeased.

“…We just received news that Miss Song’s younger sister and our President Xuan were taken to the same place.” He Wei knew that continuing to hide it was useless, so she spoke.

“You didn’t tell me because you were afraid I’d save my sister first and ignore your boss?” Song Ranxue asked. Her tone gave away nothing.

“Yes.”

“You don’t have to think that way. Since I promised you…”

“Biu—”

Before Song Ranxue finished speaking, an ear-piercing sound came from the entire car. A black off-road vehicle suddenly crashed toward the side where she was sitting. The force of the impact was enormous, directly deforming the car door on her side. Song Ranxue’s entire body was jolted violently, almost thrown out of the car, and blood began flowing from her forehead!

“Miss Song—!”

He Wei had never imagined the other party would be so ruthless, even deliberately crashing into Song Ranxue’s position. Clearly, they had come prepared!

Song Ranxue had already been knocked so hard that half her body was jolted out of the car. The window glass shattered, cutting her forehead and leaving blood running down her face. It was a startling sight.

If He Wei had been an Alpha or an Omega, she would definitely have smelled the dense scent of Alpha pheromones filling the car at that moment. Song Ranxue’s pheromone scent was that very abstract scent of misty, cloudlike forest, but its killing power was extremely strong, and its coverage was enormous.

In just ten or so short seconds, the entire car had already been covered in Song Ranxue’s pheromone scent. It was so dense that even Betas, who could not smell pheromones, felt an enormous pressure.

Song Ranxue’s entire body was tense with pressure to the extreme. Her eyes were still crimson, and her deep amber pupils seemed to hide a hurricane, carrying a force that could sweep away everything. It directly frightened the driver of the car beside them, the one that had crashed into them, into trembling. The steering wheel slipped, and the car nearly flipped over.

“Idiot!”

But there was not only one person in the car beside them. There was actually also a female Omega sitting in the back seat. She did not look very old, and the childishness had not yet fully left her face, making the malice there appear even more abrupt and hideous.

“Who is she?” Song Ranxue looked at He Wei, her voice already cold to the extreme. There was no emotion in the center of her eyes, making one’s blood run cold.

“She is… the younger sister of the person in charge who plotted against our President Xuan this time.” When He Wei met her gaze, she could not help shivering and did not speak very smoothly.

“Fine.”

Song Ranxue said nothing more. In the next instant, she leaned most of her body out of the car and reached straight toward that female Omega!

The speed of both cars was actually very fast now, and Song Ranxue’s action was extremely dangerous. But there was no fear on her face at all. She reached toward that Omega, nearly frightening He Wei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, breathless.

Madwoman!

She really was a madwoman!

But He Wei also understood her meaning instantly and told the driver to drive closer to the other car, trying to cooperate with Song Ranxue and have her drag the other woman over!

That female Omega was badly frightened, and she was also being shaken violently inside the car. Perhaps she had never imagined that Song Ranxue would actually be this bold, not only ramming toward her position, but even grabbing her arm and pulling her outward!

The other party was an Alpha. Her strength was not something an Omega could compare to. On top of that, Song Ranxue was currently in a rampaging state, making her look like an Asura, terrifying to the extreme, impossible to look at directly.

“Ah! What are you doing!”

That female Omega was also terrified by her. She screamed and wanted to use her other hand to slap away Song Ranxue’s grip, but Song Ranxue’s movements were faster than hers, giving her no time to react. Her whole person was brutally dragged out of the car by Song Ranxue and pulled along beside the speeding vehicle!

“Ahhhhh—You lunatic! Ahhhh! Lunatic!”

How could this young female Omega have ever suffered this kind of treatment? She was already so terrified that she shouted incoherently, unable to say a complete sentence.

Song Ranxue did want her dead. Even though she did not know what had happened to Leng Xingxuan, it was absolutely not anything good. And this female Omega had treated her like this on the way to rescue Leng Xingxuan, so she certainly was not a good person either.

Then what was wrong with giving her a taste of her own medicine?

She would not let her die. She would only let her experience what it felt like to be tormented at the edge of death.

She believed this woman would be very willing to experience it.

The car continued speeding along. The female Omega’s screams, curses, and cries filled the entire street. By the end, she no longer had any strength left to scream. Her voice had gone completely hoarse. She only knew how to keep crying, and her body had gone utterly limp.

Finally, the car stopped. It stopped before a rather hidden clubhouse. Only a dark red light illuminated the signboard, making it look strange and uncomfortable.

Song Ranxue opened the car door and got out. The car that had originally carried the female Omega had long since disappeared from sight. It was unclear whether it had failed to keep up, or whether they knew that even if they followed, they would not be able to help the female Omega at all, so they had fled at the critical moment or gone to seek help from others.

Naturally, Song Ranxue did not care about any of that. After getting out of the car, she looked at the female Omega completely limp and curled up on the ground. Her pants also seemed to be wet in a large patch… She had clearly been frightened into incontinence. Looking at her miserable state, Song Ranxue felt not the slightest ripple in her heart.

She turned back and looked at He Wei. “They’re all here?”

He Wei was still shaken. Thinking back to Song Ranxue’s outrageous actions all the way here, she faintly felt that her boss had provoked someone extraordinary. Song Ranxue… was absolutely not as ordinary and unremarkable as she appeared on the surface!

She was too terrifying, and too ruthless. Ordinary people simply could not afford to provoke her.

And what was even more frightening was that beyond that trace of terror, she still left a measure of restraint, not allowing anyone to catch hold of leverage against her—

For example, the female Omega she dealt with. Although Song Ranxue had indeed grabbed her out of the car and made her travel beside the speeding vehicle for quite some distance, she had not actually injured her. At least, she had not caused any external wounds.

Because she had lifted the other woman’s entire body up, keeping her feet off the ground and leaving her a little room to turn things around.

Yet she was also vicious. Forget She Lin being an Omega; the fact that she had not been scared to death was already good. Even if it had been an Alpha in her place, the outcome probably would not have been good either.

And that little room to turn things around… was truly better off not given. It would only magnify the terror in a person’s heart until, in the end… the entire person went insane.

He Wei suddenly sensed that Song Ranxue was very skilled at grasping human hearts. No wonder… Leng Xingxuan had taken an interest in her.

After all, interacting with this kind of person was also quite a challenge.

“Yes.” Naturally, He Wei knew what she wanted to ask. She no longer concealed anything and instead said this to her.

“My younger sister is here too?” Song Ranxue asked.

“Yes…” He Wei had no time to say too much. Her phone rang again. The moment she saw the caller note, joy appeared in her eyes. She felt that Song Ranxue’s younger sister should have been rescued!

She should now be able to go with Song Ranxue to rescue her boss.

Sure enough, the moment she answered the call, the person on the other side gave her good news. They had already rescued Song Chuning. Truly, thank heavens.

“Miss Song, your younger sister has been rescued. I’ll let you speak with her.” He Wei did not waste words and handed the phone to her, her tone also excited.

Song Ranxue was not at all surprised by their high efficiency. She only inwardly felt that He Wei was so happy she had gone a little mad. “My younger sister can’t speak. Letting her listen won’t be useful. Just take a photo and a video so I can confirm.”

“All right! Immediately!” He Wei explained everything to the other side, then hung up. Before long, she received Song Chuning’s photo and video.

Only after Song Ranxue looked at them did she let out a slight breath of relief. She asked, “President Xuan is also here?”

“Yes.”

“All right.” Song Ranxue wasted no words and had He Wei bring along She Lin, who was on the verge of fainting. They were going inside to find Leng Xingxuan.

He Wei suddenly understood what Song Ranxue meant. Her heart could not help tightening, and she secretly sighed that Song Ranxue’s methods were truly thunderous. She took the initiative to report everything she knew, including the room where Leng Xingxuan might be. “Our President Xuan… is in Room 1602. This is also the information I just received.”

“Since you were able to learn where your boss is, why didn’t you go rescue her first? Were you just going to let her fend for herself?” Song Ranxue was very confused. She did not think they had to wait until she arrived before they could save Leng Xingxuan. Leng Xingxuan surely had plenty of capable people under her.

Wouldn’t it be better for her subordinates to save her? Why did they have to wait for her?

Naturally, He Wei understood what she meant when she heard her words. She could only smile bitterly. “Miss Song will understand after you go and see.”

Hearing this, Song Ranxue also secretly sensed that something was wrong. She lowered her eyes slightly and asked no more. Her heart was still anxious, and she did not dare imagine what was happening to Leng Xingxuan.

She followed He Wei upstairs. She had thought there would definitely be many people guarding the place, but unexpectedly, there were not many people at all. There was even no one. The entire hallway was silent, so quiet that it was somewhat unbelievable.

Song Ranxue increasingly felt that the situation before her was not right. She turned to look at He Wei. He Wei had already taken out something like a gas mask and handed it to Song Ranxue to wear—

Song Ranxue: “…”

However, before she had time to say a word, she smelled an extremely powerful pheromone scent… No, saying it was a pheromone scent was not accurate either. Song Ranxue faintly sensed that she had smelled a similar pheromone scent somewhere before. She frowned slightly, only to see He Wei’s expression suddenly become ugly, her face paling to the extreme.

Although Song Ranxue felt that the smell was so awful it was a little piercing, she felt that it did not seem to have any effect on her body. She did not feel anything wrong.

So she swiftly and accurately buckled the gas mask in her hand over He Wei’s face instead, and only then did He Wei’s expression look a little better.

As for She Lin, whom Song Ranxue had been dragging along the whole time, she had begun to inexplicably release pheromones. At some point, her eyes had also turned red, and she was even unconsciously making those… strange sounds from her mouth, making Song Ranxue even more surprised.

This clubhouse was truly strange everywhere. It was really too terrifying.

They had to find Leng Xingxuan as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

What Song Ranxue did not know was that He Wei was now looking at her as if she were looking at a ghost. He Wei simply could not imagine… why Song Ranxue was not afraid of this all-purpose inducing agent in the slightest!

He Wei did not know how many of Leng Xingxuan’s people had fallen to this kind of inducing agent. It was truly too terrifying.

But Song Ranxue was actually completely fine? She did not even need to wear a gas mask!

Song Ranxue soon arrived at the room where Leng Xingxuan was. As always, there was no one guarding it. The lock before her also looked as if it could be opened very easily. She steadied herself slightly and placed her hand on the door handle, intending to open the door. But then, she suddenly heard a scream from inside. Song Ranxue instantly recognized it as Leng Xingxuan’s voice!

Her breath caught. She could no longer endure it. All the worry she had felt along the way surged up, making her unable to hold back from kicking open the door in front of her. She had thought she would see something she was unwilling to see, but… she was wrong, ridiculously wrong.

Inside the room, more than a dozen Alphas were lying sprawled everywhere, both men and women. The smell of blood was dense, and it seemed every person had wounds on their body.

In the corner, there was also a male Alpha who had not yet fainted and was trembling. That Alpha looked vulgar and clearly not like any proper person. He was looking fearfully at Leng Xingxuan, who stood in the center of the room, as if he had seen some kind of monster.

Leng Xingxuan was standing there quietly, and the pheromones on her body were also extremely dense.

Song Ranxue slowly fixed her gaze on Leng Xingxuan. First, she looked over her whole body from her feet upward. She only saw that her skirt had split slightly, and there were no slap marks on her face. Everything else seemed fine. There was none of the tragic brutality she had imagined before. For some reason, Song Ranxue let out a breath of relief in her heart, and even the pheromones in her body became docile.

However, when her gaze fell on Leng Xingxuan’s face again, her previously relaxed heart rose once more. There was no other reason—

In her impression, the Omega before her had always been perfectly meticulous. She did not allow her face to reveal any weakness or fear that others could glimpse. But now, her face still carried lingering fear and shock. Her gaze was fragile and on the verge of collapse. In her hand, she was also holding a bloodstained knife. The blade was sharp and stained with blood, and even her hand had become unclean.

Song Ranxue met her gaze for a moment, trembling in her eyes. Her breath also held slightly. She did not know how to describe this feeling… She only felt a little panicked, and a little heartache for her. At this moment, in Leng Xingxuan’s eyes, she saw the female lead from the later stages of the book, the one who would become increasingly powerful and cold.

She walked alone, killing gods if gods stood in her way, killing Buddhas if Buddhas stood in her way. When she finally reached the highest point, she suddenly realized that there was no one who could enjoy the scenery with her.

So bleak. So helpless.

She was not omnipotent. She needed others to help her too.

But if Song Ranxue had to do it all over again, she would still choose to save her younger sister first.

This current result could only be called a strange twist of fate.

“You…” When Leng Xingxuan saw her standing at the door, she was also surprised for an instant. But before she could finish speaking, her whole body swayed, as if she could no longer hold on. A thin line of blood flowed from her eyes, ears, nostrils, and lips.

Drip—

A drop of blood suddenly fell onto the back of her hand, blooming into a large blood-colored plum blossom. She also seemed to look at the back of her hand in disbelief, then touched her nose, her eyes widening even more in surprise. She had touched a hand full of blood.

“Song Ranxue… am I going to die…”

Looking at her blood-covered hand, her unfocused gaze abruptly turned toward the Alpha before her. Her voice also grew weaker and weaker, yet her tone remained calm.

So calm it reached the point of despair, making the pain in Song Ranxue’s heart, as if gripped by the hand of death, reach its peak.

“No. You won’t die. I won’t allow you to die.”

…

…

Everything fell into chaos.

In the end, Leng Xingxuan was still successfully rescued by Song Ranxue. He Wei found other people to deal with the aftermath. As for She Lin, the female Omega they had brought with them, Song Ranxue left her without hesitation in the room where Leng Xingxuan had originally been imprisoned, and told He Wei to wake up all the Alphas Leng Xingxuan had knocked unconscious so they could properly “serve” her.

When He Wei heard her say this, her eyes widened unexpectedly in astonishment. Naturally, she knew what Song Ranxue’s arrangement meant. It meant… She Lin was going to be completely destroyed by her.

She wanted to repay the other side in kind, using the method they had used against Leng Xingxuan to deal with She Lin, without the slightest mercy.

Just thinking about it made one shiver.

“What? Is that not allowed?” Song Ranxue turned her head to look at her and, seeing that her expression was strange, asked.

The wound on her forehead had already stopped bleeding. Fortunately, it was only a small cut and nothing serious.

“…No.” He Wei moved her lips, still wanting to say something, but then felt there was no need.

Song Ranxue also did not pay her much attention. In truth, she did not know what He Wei was thinking either, but she did not especially care.

Right now, she cared far more about Leng Xingxuan’s condition.

Leng Xingxuan’s bleeding could be considered stopped. Under the influence of Song Ranxue’s Alpha pheromones, she temporarily did not seem to be in danger of dying. The urgent matter was still to send her to the hospital as quickly as possible.

They could not rely on her pheromones forever, after all. She was only an Alpha with no rank and could not help Leng Xingxuan much.

But Leng Xingxuan’s entire mental state was extremely poor. Her eyes were hollow, still carrying an extremely strong wariness, as if she trusted no one.

At some point, specks of blood had splashed onto her fair face. Her expression was as cold as ever, yet there was now a trace of an emotion others could not explain, something resembling dependence…

Song Ranxue looked at her and felt that she truly must be very afraid. She was already very powerful, yet she could still be afraid…

The ones inside who had wanted to deal with her were all male and female Alphas. Every one of them was stronger than her in body build and height. Just looking at them was enough to make one’s heart pound in fear.

If Leng Xingxuan had not been the female lead and did not have the female lead halo, she would have been dead for certain. She absolutely would have been destroyed.

And now… her entire body was exuding a dense pheromone scent, suffocating like the deep sea. Even though Song Ranxue had no romantic thoughts in her heart, her body seemed unable to escape this sensation. She did not even dare lower her head and look at Leng Xingxuan too much, afraid that she might do something bad to her.

At this stage, she could only send her to the hospital first and see what happened.

…As long as she was fine. As long as she was fine, Song Ranxue could feel a little relieved. That blood just now had truly frightened a person to death. She also did not know what was going on with that unpleasant pheromone scent. The smell seemed faintly familiar too.

“Can I take you to the hospital?” Song Ranxue had already carried her outside. With her great height advantage, even when bending down, she only leaned slightly in Leng Xingxuan’s direction and did not fully lower her gaze onto her.

“You… why don’t you dare look at me? Is it because I’m too ugly?” Leng Xingxuan stared into her eyes. Her voice was still cold, but there was a trace of barely perceptible grievance in it.

“No…” Although Song Ranxue denied it, she still did not look at her, her gaze very firmly fixed elsewhere.

“I understand.” Seeing her like this, Leng Xingxuan knew what was going on. The crisis from earlier had been completely resolved, and they had once again returned to being familiar strangers. Song Ranxue would no longer show her pity or preferential treatment.

This also seemed to be within expectations.

She paused, then continued. Her voice remained weak, carrying a little disappointment. “This time, thank you for coming to save me. You don’t need to return that twenty million either. Just treat it as the compensation I’m giving you.”

“All right.” Song Ranxue thought about it. Although she felt that Leng Xingxuan’s life was worth far more than twenty million, in truth, she had not done much. Even if she had not come, Leng Xingxuan could have saved herself.

Her role had only been to kick open that door and throw She Lin inside, helping her avenge half of the grudge. Other than that, she had done nothing.

And Leng Xingxuan was truly far more formidable than she had imagined. Song Ranxue really felt there was no need for her to stay any longer and get in the way. Perhaps Leng Xingxuan did not want her to stay at all. Because she had actually also sensed that… although Leng Xingxuan was doing her utmost to conceal an Omega’s instincts, the pheromones on her body were so dense that Song Ranxue almost suffocated.

That was instinct, and also possession. She sensed that Leng Xingxuan wanted to completely possess her, wanted her to mark her, even… fully mark her.

Song Ranxue was no saint. She also had the emotions ordinary people should have. Not to mention, she was now an Alpha, even more different from an ordinary person.

Being wrapped so tightly by the dense pheromones of a vulnerable Omega without doing anything on the spot was already good enough. She did not dare continue to put herself in danger.

She did not know what consequences would be brought to the plot of this book if she truly followed her heart.

Moreover, she also wanted to draw a clean line between herself and Leng Xingxuan. She did not want to have too many entanglements with her. Right now was a very good opportunity.

Those previous matters… the entanglement between them… should also be forgotten. Leng Xingxuan was not someone she could afford to provoke.

After she said that one “all right,” silence immediately fell between them. Leng Xingxuan frowned and closed her eyes, her face turned outward, as if she did not especially want to see Song Ranxue either. She looked entirely like someone enduring alone, no longer wanting to communicate with her.

Looking at her like this, Song Ranxue’s heart also felt somewhat uncomfortable. She wanted to reach out and touch Leng Xingxuan’s hair, but she warned herself that she could not be softhearted. She could not ruin the female lead Omega’s main plotline.

In the future, Leng Xingxuan was someone who would stand at the very top. She was not the same as a plain, ordinary passerby character like Song Ranxue.

—This… What is going on? I only left for a while. How did it become like this?

—Tsk, is the great villain blind?! Didn’t she see that Xingxing’s palm is about to be gouged bloody by her own nails?! And she still says that to her!

—I dare say, if Xingxing doesn’t find someone to mark her tonight, she’ll definitely die.

—Ahhhhh, and then it’s the end of the whole story? Wuwuwuwu, I don’t want that!

—Just now… just now, that scene in the room was so terrifying… She made it through. Surely… surely she won’t fall here, right?!

—Ahhhhh, I don’t want this! I want lovers to finally be together!

…

However, Leng Xingxuan ignored the densely packed bullet comments before her. She still sat unmoving in the car, watching Song Ranxue and her younger sister walk farther and farther away. At some point, tears had filled her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back and refused to let them fall.

She seemed to be gambling. Gambling on whether Song Ranxue would turn back and look one more time. As long as she could look back once—

But this time, Leng Xingxuan seemed to have overestimated herself. She did not manage to wait until Song Ranxue turned back to look at her. With another “pfft,” she vomited a mouthful of blood. He Wei had been guarding beside her the entire time, constantly watching her condition. Seeing her like this, she could not help shouting, “President Xuan!”

Leng Xingxuan could no longer open her eyes. Through the blur before her, she seemed to see Song Ranxue, who had already walked far away, suddenly turn back. She seemed to see Leng Xingxuan in this wretched state, shock in her eyes. Anxiously, she walked in Leng Xingxuan’s direction, quickly arriving before her, unable to even care about her younger sister.

“Can you stay?” She heard herself ask the Alpha.

The Alpha, now close enough to touch, said nothing. Instead, she reached out and held her hand, her entire body seeming to tremble, as if she were struggling violently.

In the end, Leng Xingxuan heard her slowly say, her tone difficult and hoarse, “All right. I’ll stay.”

Only then could Leng Xingxuan close her eyes in relief. There even seemed to be a smile at the corner of her lips, because she knew that this time, she had won the gamble.

Song Ranxue had stayed.

She was hers now. There was no escaping.

She had to make Song Ranxue mark her, make Song Ranxue thoroughly and completely become hers.

This time, she was determined to have her.
