A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 20.1
The night had grown very deep, and the Omega on the soft bedding was still in a deep sleep, her cheekbones flushed high, her breathing rapid, and her eyelids trembling constantly, as if trapped in an inescapable nightmare.
The bloodstains on Leng Xingxuan’s body had already been cleaned away, and her clothes had even been changed… replaced by Song Ranxue’s own hands.
Recalling those scenes from a moment ago still made her face flush and her heart race, raising great waves in her soul.
Song Ranxue had always known that Leng Xingxuan had a good figure and that every part of her body was perfect; she had even harbored a sense of covetousness toward her, but being with her while she was conscious versus while she was unconscious were two different things—
Being unconscious meant the Omega in her arms was hers to do with as she pleased.
When Song Ranxue first heard He Wei’s request for her to directly help Leng Xingxuan change her clothes, her instinctive reaction was to refuse. However, He Wei looked at her with such imploring eyes that she simply couldn’t turn her down, eventually forced to compromise and accept this bittersweet torment.
It truly was… a massive test of one’s willpower.
This was something any slightly normal Alpha would find difficult to endure; even though she was an Alpha without a rank, it didn’t mean she could easily maintain her self-control.
Song Ranxue didn’t even know how she had just managed to get through it.
By the time she snapped out of it, she found herself covered in sweat, even her breathing becoming difficult, her mouth parched and her throat dry, feeling restless and constantly wanting to do something.
And as she looked at the Omega before her, she knew very clearly what it was she wanted to do.
Song Ranxue lowered her eyes and stopped staring at Leng Xingxuan; some of her pheromones overflowed and drifted over her to make her feel a bit better, but it was like trying to put out a burning house with a cup of water—it changed nothing.
Song Ranxue vaguely sensed something, but she didn’t dare to be completely certain; He Wei had told her when Leng Xingxuan vomited blood and fainted that going to the hospital currently wouldn’t help and would even worsen her pain.
As for how to alleviate her symptoms and stop the vomiting of blood… He Wei didn’t give her the answer directly, but looked at her with full expectation, the meaning being more than obvious: she needed this Alpha’s help.
That she, an ordinary Alpha without a rank, could actually help the Female Lead Omega? This was truly beyond her expectations, yet… it was also within them.
Moreover, Song Ranxue discovered that from the rescue of Leng Xingxuan until returning to her home, she was the only person who had touched her from beginning to end. Others were extremely respectful and worried about her condition, but they didn’t dare touch her at all for fear of something happening, their eyes full of dread when looking at her.
Recalling her usual appearances in public, she was always shielded tightly with few people daring to get close; so… what was the reason?
But in the book… it seemed this point was never mentioned… nor did it say that Leng Xingxuan would suddenly vomit blood as if she were poisoned…
However, she couldn’t ask anything now; she was even lost in confusion herself, not knowing what her next step should be.
She felt that when the woman fainted, she clearly shouldn’t have turned back to look at her, and clearly should have been heartless enough to leave.
But… she just couldn’t do it; before she could even answer that question about who to save first, the loneliness and “as expected” look in Leng’s eyes… even the self-mockery had deeply stung her own eyes.
Regarding this matter, her inability to personally save her own sister was frustrating enough, but letting Leng Xingxuan down was even more of a defeat.
No matter what she did, she couldn’t find a way to satisfy both sides. She had to bear all the consequences, whether good or bad.
From what Song Ranxue knew from the book, although Leng Xingxuan was the Female Lead, her parents had died very early under mysterious circumstances.
She originally had a sister who went missing when she was very young; she didn’t dare trust anyone and had always fought alone, accustomed to relying on herself for everything.
That was why, when she arrived in that room, she went ahead without hesitation even though she knew it would harm her body, which made Song feel increasingly distressed.
She appeared to possess much, but in reality, she too envied the happiness of ordinary people.
This was very similar to her own state of mind after becoming famous before she transmigrated.
This was a version of herself in another world; she couldn’t just leave her be.
So, in the end, knowing that… her life would definitely undergo earth-shattering changes, she still stayed behind; even if she did nothing but keep her company, that was fine.
Of course, this choice was made only after fully confirming her sister was safe; otherwise, her conscience would have been uneasy, though she still felt somewhat guilty.
Knock, knock—
There was a sudden knock at the bedroom door. Song Ranxue said “Come in,” and He Wei opened the door to bring her a set of pajamas. Her eyes were still red, seemingly truly terrified, but when she looked at Song Ranxue, there was a light of reverence in her eyes, genuinely thankful that Song Ranxue had stayed.
Song Ranxue felt unworthy of the praise and avoided her gaze, asking softly: “She hasn’t woken up, and the situation isn’t great.”
“Because… President Leng used pheromone inducers twice in a short period, both times forced upon her. The first time it was used directly internally, but the other party was likely afraid we would find out, so the dose was small, only causing President Leng’s special period to arrive early. On the surface, there were no side effects… but actually, President Leng forced herself to endure and hide it…”
“They were bold enough to plot a second time shortly after. This time… this time they even wanted to destroy President Leng’s dose and arranged so many male Alphas to humiliate her.”
He Wei spoke with a heavy sob, and Song Ranxue couldn’t bear to listen further because as she spoke, she vaguely understood what Leng Xingxuan had gone through and what the other party’s intentions toward her were.
She closed her eyes, her heart filled with a violent rage; she knew this feeling of being treated like meat on a chopping block would drive a person insane.
“The side effects of this inducer are actually immense, and it’s not circulated in the market—it’s commonly used on the black market. But it looks like it’s not quite the same… President Leng forced herself not to let her pheromones explode to save herself, nor did she let anyone mark her… that’s why she kept vomiting blood as if poisoned… it was actually a kind of protective barrier of her own, but she is an Omega after all, and having inhaled so much inducer… going to the hospital is useless, and forcing herself through it alone only leads to death…”
Speaking to this point, He Wei couldn’t help but look at Song Ranxue, a grateful smile pulling at her lips: “I’m truly thankful Miss Song was willing to stay.”
Song Ranxue looked at her without speaking; in fact, she didn’t know what she should say. It turned out Leng Xingxuan had been in constant danger, turned out she had endured it all silently by herself, turned out she was truly as the book described… so strong yet so lonely, only able to trust herself.
“Why is it that the inducer didn’t seem to work very well on me?” Song Ranxue wasn’t very clear on what an inducer was, but she felt that what she smelled in the hallway was the inducer, which was so exaggerated that a gas mask was required.
But after coming out of there for so long, nothing seemed to have happened?
“About that… I actually don’t know either. If possible, I might have to ask Miss Song to go to the hospital for a test,” He Wei said to her.
“Mm, okay, I understand.” Although Song Ranxue was curious, she didn’t care too much; she thought perhaps because she was a background character, these high-level inducers had no effect on her, which was why she was fine.
“As for your sister’s matter… I will also help to investigate and verify…” He Wei added; she couldn’t just have Song Ranxue help without doing anything else.
“About that… I actually have a good idea of what happened,” Song Ranxue said with hatred at the mention of the subject, not wanting to say much at the moment. “But, if you find any evidence, please give it to me.”
“That is a certainty.”
“Mm…?”
As they were talking, the Omega on the bed suddenly made a sound. Song Ranxue immediately turned to look, and He Wei didn’t stay but quietly closed the door, leaving the space entirely to the two of them.
Song Ranxue returned to the bedside to look at Leng Xingxuan, thinking she had woken up, but she was still deep in sleep, and not a peaceful one.
Song Ranxue still didn’t know what her feelings or thoughts were; she sat before her, looking at her quietly for a long while, until finally, as if unable to resist, she reached out her fingertip to gently trace her features: “Leng Xingxuan… what should I do with you?”
However, the person on the bed still kept her eyes tightly closed, immersed in her dreamscape; sensing her touch, her whole body relaxed slightly.
Song Ranxue gave a slight smile at the sight and finally picked up the pajamas He Wei had given her. “I’m going to take a shower first, not leaving. You stay here and be good.”
After saying it, she felt the sentence sounded inexplicably ambiguous, so she silently shut her mouth and said no more.
