A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 20

The night had already grown very deep. The Omega in the soft bedding was still sleeping, her cheekbones flushed high, her breathing hurried. Her eyelids kept trembling, as if she were trapped in some nightmare from which she could not break free.

The bloodstains on Leng Xingxuan’s body had already been cleaned once, and even her clothes had been changed… by Song Ranxue’s own hands.

Thinking of those scenes from earlier still made her blush and her heart race, stirring enormous waves in her heart.

Song Ranxue had always known that Leng Xingxuan had a good figure. There was not a single place on her body that was not perfect, and Song Ranxue had also once harbored covetous thoughts toward her. But interacting with her while she was awake and interacting with her while she was unconscious were two completely different matters—

Unconscious meant that the Omega in her arms could be left entirely at her mercy.

When Song Ranxue heard He Wei ask her to directly help Leng Xingxuan change clothes, her instinct had been to refuse. But He Wei had looked at her with those pleading eyes, leaving her completely unable to reject her. In the end, Song Ranxue could only compromise and accept this sweet torment.

It really was… far too much of a test of her self-control.

This… was something any even slightly normal Alpha would find difficult to endure. Even if she was an Alpha with no rank, that did not mean she could control herself.

Song Ranxue did not even know how exactly she had made it through just now.

By the time she came back to her senses, she had already broken out in sweat. Even breathing had become difficult. Her mouth was dry, her tongue parched, and she could not sit still, always feeling like she wanted to do something.

And as she looked at the Omega before her, she was also very clear on exactly what she wanted to do.

Song Ranxue lowered her eyes and stopped staring at Leng Xingxuan. Some of her pheromones did overflow and coil around Leng Xingxuan, trying to make her feel a little better, but it still seemed like a drop in the bucket. It could not change much.

Song Ranxue faintly sensed something, but she did not dare be completely certain. When Leng Xingxuan vomited blood and fainted, He Wei had told her that with Leng Xingxuan’s current condition, going to the hospital would be of no use at all. It might even worsen her pain.

As for how to ease her symptoms and stop her from vomiting blood again… He Wei did not directly give her the answer. She only looked at her full of expectation. The meaning could not have been more obvious: they needed her, this Alpha, to help.

Her, this plain, ordinary, rankless Alpha, could actually help the female lead Omega? This was truly beyond her expectations, yet somehow… also within them.

Moreover, Song Ranxue discovered that from the time she went to rescue Leng Xingxuan until now, after returning to Leng Xingxuan’s home, she was the only person who had touched her from beginning to end. Everyone else was extremely respectful toward Leng Xingxuan and even worried about her condition, but none of them dared touch her in the slightest. They seemed afraid something would happen, and the way they looked at her was full of fear.

Thinking back to what usually happened whenever Leng Xingxuan appeared in public, she was also guarded so tightly that few people dared approach. So this was… for what reason?

But in the book… this point never seemed to be mentioned… Nor had it ever said that Leng Xingxuan would suddenly vomit blood like this, as if she had been poisoned…

Yet right now, Song Ranxue could not ask anything. Even she herself had fallen into confusion and did not know what she should do next.

She felt that when Leng Xingxuan fainted, she clearly should not have turned back to look at her. She clearly should have hardened her heart and left.

But… she simply could not do it. When Leng Xingxuan asked her that question about whom she would save first, before Song Ranxue even answered, the loneliness and expected resignation that appeared in Leng Xingxuan’s eyes… even that self-mockery, had already deeply stabbed Song Ranxue’s eyes.

In this matter, not being able to personally save her younger sister had already left her disheartened. But disappointing Leng Xingxuan made her feel even more defeated.

No matter what she did, she could not find a perfect solution. She had to bear all the consequences, whether good or bad.

What Song Ranxue knew from the book was that although Leng Xingxuan was the female lead, her parents had died very early, and the cause of death was unclear.

She had originally had a younger sister too, but that sister had gone missing when Leng Xingxuan was very young. Leng Xingxuan did not dare trust anyone and had always fought alone. She was also used to relying on herself for everything.

That was why, when Song Ranxue arrived at that room, even though Leng Xingxuan knew very well that doing so would harm her own body, she still did it without hesitation. That made Song Ranxue feel even more uncomfortable.

She seemed to possess a great deal, but in reality, she would also envy the happiness of ordinary people.

This was truly very similar to Song Ranxue’s state of mind after becoming famous before transmigrating into the book.

She was like another Song Ranxue in another world. Song Ranxue could not leave her alone.

So in the end, even knowing that… her life would certainly undergo earth-shaking changes, she still stayed. Even if she did nothing and merely kept Leng Xingxuan company, that was fine.

Of course, this was also a choice she only made again after fully confirming that her younger sister was safe. Otherwise, her conscience would not have been at peace—though even now, she still felt guilty.

Knock, knock—

The door to the room was suddenly knocked. Song Ranxue went to open it, and He Wei handed her a set of sleepwear. Her eyes were still red, as if she had truly been badly frightened. But when she looked at Song Ranxue, there was genuine gratitude in her gaze.

Song Ranxue felt unworthy of receiving it and avoided her gaze. She only asked, “How is President Xuan’s condition?”

“Not too good.”

“Because both times, pheromone-inducing agents were used on her passively. The first time, it even acted directly inside her body, but the other side’s dosage was relatively small. It only caused President Xuan’s special period to arrive early. On the surface, there didn’t seem to be any aftereffects… so President Xuan forced herself to endure it and concealed it…”

“But no one expected there would be a second scheme within such a short period of time. This time… this time, they even wanted to ruin President Xuan’s innocence, so they increased the dosage and arranged those people.”

As He Wei spoke up to this point, her eyes grew even redder. Song Ranxue could not bear to keep listening either, because now that He Wei had said this much, Song Ranxue could faintly understand exactly what Leng Xingxuan had encountered, and what the other side had intended for her.

She closed her eyes. Her heart was filled with fury and a violent urge to destroy everything. She knew all too clearly that feeling of becoming another person’s fish on the chopping board, unable to do anything. It could drive a person mad.

“The side effects of this inducing agent are actually enormous. It also isn’t circulated on the market. It’s something often used on the black market, but looking at it now, it doesn’t seem quite the same either… In order to save herself, President Xuan forced herself to keep her pheromones from erupting and didn’t let anyone mark her… That’s why she kept vomiting blood as if she’d been poisoned… That was actually a kind of protective barrier from her own body. But she is still an Omega, and she inhaled so much of the inducing agent… Going to the hospital won’t help. If she keeps forcing herself to endure it alone, there is only death waiting for her…”

After saying this, He Wei could not help looking toward Song Ranxue again. She pulled a grateful smile at the corners of her lips. “We really are grateful that Miss Song was willing to stay.”

Song Ranxue looked at her without speaking. In truth, she did not know what she should say. So it turned out Leng Xingxuan had been in danger all along. So it turned out she had quietly endured everything by herself this whole time. So it turned out she really was exactly as the book described… that strong and that lonely, able to trust only herself.

“Why does the inducing agent seem… not very useful against me?” Although Song Ranxue was not very clear on what an inducing agent was, she felt that what she had smelled in the corridor was the inducing agent, and it had been exaggerated enough that He Wei had needed a gas mask.

But even after coming out of that place for so long, nothing seemed to have happened to her.

“This point… I actually don’t know either. If possible, we may still have to ask Miss Song to go to the hospital for a test,” He Wei said to her.

“Mm. All right, I understand.” Although Song Ranxue was also somewhat curious, she did not care too much. She felt that perhaps it was because she was a passerby character, so these high-level inducing agents had no effect on her. That was why she was fine.

“As for the matter on Miss Song’s younger sister’s side… I will also help investigate and verify it…” He Wei continued. She could not just have Song Ranxue help while doing nothing else in return.

“That matter… I actually have a sense of it in my heart.” When Song Ranxue mentioned this, hatred rose in her heart. At this moment, she did not especially want to say much. “But if you can find evidence, please give it to me.”

“That is certain.”

“Mm…?”

While the two were talking, the Omega on the bed suddenly made a sound. Song Ranxue immediately turned back to look. He Wei did not continue staying either and instead quietly closed the door, leaving the space completely to the two of them.

Song Ranxue returned to the bedside to look at Leng Xingxuan. She had thought Leng Xingxuan had already woken up, but she was still sleeping, and she was not sleeping peacefully.

Song Ranxue still did not know what kind of feeling or thought she held. She sat before Leng Xingxuan and looked at her quietly for quite a while. In the end, as if unable to hold herself back, she reached out with her fingertips and gently traced Leng Xingxuan’s brows and eyes. “Leng Xingxuan… what am I supposed to do with you?”

However, the person on the bed still had her eyes tightly shut, sunk in her dreams. As if sensing Song Ranxue’s touch, her whole body relaxed slightly.

Seeing her like this, Song Ranxue laughed softly despite herself. In the end, she still picked up the sleepwear He Wei had given her. “I’m going to take a shower first. I’m not leaving. Stay here and be good.”

After saying that, she felt that this sentence sounded inexplicably ambiguous, so she silently closed her mouth and did not continue speaking.

…

…

In the bathroom, the sleepwear He Wei prepared for her was still considered normal. At the very least, it was not as scheming and sexy as the outfit she had been changed into the first time, allowing her to relax slightly.

Not only did she smell of sweat, she was also stained with quite a bit of blood. It was uncomfortable to wear, so it would be better to take a shower and change clothes.

Song Ranxue felt that her nerves had been tense for an entire day. Now, she could finally be considered somewhat relaxed. She could quiet down and think properly for a while.

Because of this, she did not notice that not long after she began washing, the bathroom door was pushed open. A pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind, startling her badly.

The hot water from the showerhead ran down her back and onto the person hugging her from behind. Almost without thinking, Song Ranxue moved to throw the person behind her over her shoulder.

But the moment she grabbed the other person’s shoulder, the scent of Omega pheromones drifted to the tip of her nose, deep like the ocean and tinged with a hint of sweetness.

She instantly realized that this was Leng Xingxuan’s pheromone scent. Her breath caught, and the strength of her grip immediately softened.

But the moment she softened, the Omega was directly pulled into her arms. In that instant, the echo of her heartbeat nearly drowned out the sound of water falling on her body, leaving Song Ranxue completely uncertain what she should do—

Should she push Leng Xingxuan away, or continue?

However, the Omega in her arms did not give her much time to think. She directly rose onto her tiptoes and kissed Song Ranxue’s lips. The kiss was extremely rough and urgent, almost igniting on contact, leaving Song Ranxue unable to withstand it at all.

Song Ranxue faintly felt that their current state and emotions were very dangerous, already at the point where one touch could set everything off. The sound of her heart beating grew more and more intense, and all her breath fell over Leng Xingxuan’s forehead. The Omega had her eyes closed, making it impossible to see her true emotions clearly.

Song Ranxue could only see her overly flushed face. Her pitch-black lashes were covered in water droplets, and her whole face seemed as if it had emerged from water, skin like creamy jade, the droplets gathered on her face making her look even more crystal-clear.

Like a peeled lychee, inexplicably tempting.

Song Ranxue lowered her head and looked at that face. She could not help swallowing. But the next second, she still abruptly turned her face away and pulled Leng Xingxuan out of her arms, lightly patting her face. “Wake up?”

“I’m very awake.” Leng Xingxuan opened her eyes. Her starry eyes had been completely soaked wet, revealing a stubbornness and charm entirely different from usual.

She brushed aside her long hair, revealing the gland at the back of her neck. The deep, ocean-like pheromone scent spread once more, inexplicably tempting people to sink into it.

Song Ranxue instinctively held her breath, unwilling to be made confused and infatuated by her pheromones. But in the next moment, her shoulder was forcefully pulled down, almost immediately pressing close against the Omega’s gland. At the same time, Leng Xingxuan’s slender hand pressed against the Alpha’s gland as well, staining her palm full of Song Ranxue’s pheromones.

Leng Xingxuan pressed close to her ear, bit her earlobe, and ordered, “Mark me.”

…

…

“Mmph—you…”

Song Ranxue had not expected that Leng Xingxuan would not only press tightly against her body and pull down her shoulder so she could mark her, but also… also bite her ear so outrageously. What kind of situation was this?

She only felt as if all the blood in her body was flowing backward, all surging into her upper body, leaving her completely unable to ignore this tormenting yet tempting sensation.

Not to mention, right beside her lips was Leng Xingxuan’s sweet gland, pressed so close. Her ear still retained the ambiguous sensation of being bitten by her. Under so many layers of stimulation… combined with an Alpha’s instincts, Song Ranxue truly could not endure any longer.

She had never marked anyone before, and it had not been long since she arrived in this world. Yet at this moment, she felt that the Omega in her arms was truly torturous, like an addictive secret medicine. At first taste, she had not thought much of it and had even believed she could escape Leng Xingxuan’s control.

But when she turned back again, she realized it had already become an obsession of the heart, silently and unknowingly sinking deep into her bones.

She gripped Leng Xingxuan’s face and, no longer caring about her own current state, pushed her away slightly.

The next moment, however, she gripped Leng Xingxuan’s face again and abruptly turned her face back. A fierce light flickered in her eyes, making Leng Xingxuan freeze. Then, a surge of anticipation and excitement rose in Leng Xingxuan’s heart, so strong even she found it hard to believe. It made her feel extremely strange and a little afraid too, something completely beyond expectation.

Suddenly, she sensed heat against her lips. The Alpha’s soft, warm lips kissed her directly, carrying extremely complicated emotions, even a trace of self-abandonment. Leng Xingxuan was somewhat stunned and wanted to see her expression clearly, but Song Ranxue raised a hand to cover her eyes and pressed her against the glass behind her, tangling with her as if neither would stop until death.

“Wait… you…”

Leng Xingxuan wanted to talk to her a little more, but Song Ranxue’s pheromones were extremely domineering. The moment she kissed her lips, they had already wrapped around her entire body, nearly drowning her—

Leaving her unable to say a single word. She could only suddenly endure it.

…

…

The passionate spray of water kept falling from the showerhead, running down over the tops of their heads, the backs of their necks, their spines, and the perfect curves of their waists, all the way downward. When it splashed onto the floor, it was like water striking stone, releasing wave after wave of urgent rushing sound.

Their shadows on the floor-to-ceiling glass window kept joining and separating, flickering and overlapping, like a long-lost shadow play. No one knew what new movement would be performed next.

The Alpha and Omega pheromones also kept tangling in the air. The deep aura of the sea constantly wanted to wrap around that elusive, misty forest, but the Alpha’s pheromones, just like Song Ranxue herself, were strong-willed. They refused to fall into the lower position, insisting on dancing with Leng Xingxuan, even winding around her and making her submit.

…

No one knew how long the night had passed. Outside, it was still pitch-black, the hours unknown.

In the end… it was Song Ranxue who turned off the shower and carried her out of the bathroom. Water droplets were still playfully lingering on both of them. Leng Xingxuan’s eyes were slightly unfocused, her cheeks flushed with drunken red, reflecting the beautifully defined curve of the Alpha’s jaw.

At this moment, however, she could not reach out to touch it. Her hands hung down weakly, and she was so tired she did not want to move at all.

Although the Alpha’s embrace was very warm, once they left the hot water, she still felt a trace of chill. She moved her fingertips and glanced back, seeing her nightdress lying alone on the floor, soaked full of water and already completely drenched. Her exposed, cool shoulders made her feel particularly insecure, and she instinctively said, “My nightdress…”

Song Ranxue’s steps paused. She did not look back. She only silently pulled Leng Xingxuan closer into her arms and lifted her up a little. “We’re almost back to the bed. If you’re really cold, hold onto me.”

Leng Xingxuan: “…”

How was she cold now? She was a little embarrassed… and caught off guard. Even more than that, this kind of complete honesty with each other made her unaccustomed.

She had originally thought she could accept it. But now that it had truly happened… although she did not regret it, and even the result had exceeded her own expectations, surpassing her original goal.

But how should she put it… She was not used to exposing herself like this beneath another person’s unconcealed gaze. Especially since… although Song Ranxue’s expression now was no different from usual, still gentle like moonlight, Leng Xingxuan knew that she was completely different from normal.

She had an Alpha’s inherent flaws, as well as the warmth and thoughtfulness one would show a lover. Yet Leng Xingxuan did not know how to express that… She was not used to it. She was not used to this kind of intimate relationship.

She was used to guessing other people’s thoughts and hiding her own. But now… she was utterly exposed in Song Ranxue’s arms. Although the other woman was in the same state as her, Leng Xingxuan still felt a sense of danger and discomfort.

That feeling was like being held over a fire with nowhere to escape. She could only silently endure it.

Song Ranxue did indeed carry her out of the bathroom and place her back into the soft bedding. Leng Xingxuan’s pheromones were still extremely attached to the Alpha. In addition… Song Ranxue had not marked her just now, so the way her pheromones clung to her was even more frightening, until Song Ranxue pinched a wisp of those pheromones and said to her with a smile that was not quite a smile, “After so long just now, it still wasn’t enough? Don’t tell me you want to keep this up until dawn?”

Leng Xingxuan: “…”

She had always been calm and self-possessed, and no one had ever spoken to her like this before. Even though the bullet comments sometimes made jokes and told dirty stories, she could pretend she did not see them.

But… when the Alpha before her, with snow-white skin, well-balanced bones, and an extremely superior body ratio, stood before her and said such words with that smiling-yet-not-smiling expression, she almost could not maintain the expression she had always disguised herself with.

She closed her eyes and silently pulled the quilt up, covering most of her face and revealing only a pair of eyes. It was truly very different from her usual cold, lonely, hard-to-approach appearance.

Song Ranxue’s gaze softened slightly. Her mind was actually still very excited. She did not know whether it was because of an Alpha’s instincts or… because this was the first time she had shared such deep physical intimacy with someone else. But no matter which it was, she could not immediately calm down. Especially when the Omega under the covers was still so… mm… cute.

She could not hold back from reaching out to pinch Leng Xingxuan’s face. When her fingertips touched Leng Xingxuan’s face, both of them froze. Song Ranxue seemed a little awkward. Although she was reluctant to part with the soft warmth of Leng Xingxuan’s cheek, she still quickly withdrew her hand, as if wanting to pretend nothing had happened.

Leng Xingxuan, meanwhile, looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, as if she had turned back into that frosty, difficult-to-approach Omega from before. It pulled Song Ranxue back to reality all at once.

It seemed she had been too careless and too relaxed, making her think she really counted as something in front of the female lead.

She silently turned around, picked up the sleepwear, and put it on. Seeing her suddenly grow calm and completely put away the smile on her face, Leng Xingxuan also felt somewhat empty inside.

But for a while, she said nothing. She only watched as Song Ranxue put the clothes on piece by piece, her movements slow and unhurried, calm and composed, as if she were completely different from the fierce and even somewhat violent Alpha in the bathroom just now.

Just like her name, Song Ranxue’s skin was white as snow. Looking at it inexplicably made it hard to move one’s eyes away. It was just that there were several conspicuous finger marks on the back of her shoulders, making Leng Xingxuan inexplicably feel guilty. But when Leng Xingxuan thought of how Song Ranxue had treated her in the bathroom, she felt that she had done nothing wrong.

Besides, she liked leaving something on Song Ranxue’s body. Finger marks were fine, anything was fine. Only that way could she feel that she had truly possessed her, that Song Ranxue was hers.

The temporary partner she had obtained by every possible means.

After Song Ranxue dressed, she did not turn back to look at her again. But she did not leave the room either. Instead, she found the nearest sofa and lay down on it, even considerately leaving a lamp on for her.

Leng Xingxuan had not expected her to be so distant now, actually going to sleep on the sofa, and not even wanting to look at her. She could not help letting out a cold laugh. “Miss Song, was tonight very difficult for you?”

“…No. You’re overthinking it.” After resting for a while, Song Ranxue still opened her mouth to answer. “I don’t regret it.”

“You don’t regret it? If you don’t regret it, then you have to take responsibility for me.” Leng Xingxuan’s tone grew a little colder, making Song Ranxue somewhat helpless too. “In any case, I’m just one person with a worthless life. If you want me to take responsibility for you, just tell me how.”

Actually, Song Ranxue also had many things she wanted to ask Leng Xingxuan. But she also felt that asking now would not mean much. It would be better to forget it. After all, even if she asked, the other woman might not tell her.

So, in the end, she still remained silent.

Hearing her say this, Leng Xingxuan also fell silent. Song Ranxue felt that perhaps Leng Xingxuan had not thought it through yet, so she closed her eyes and stopped thinking about it.

However, after resting for a while, Leng Xingxuan suddenly spoke again. “I’m a little cold.”

“…Then I’ll lower the air-conditioning a bit.” Song Ranxue did not feel cold. It was the height of summer, so how could a twenty-six-degree air conditioner feel cold?

“Not that kind of cold.” Before she could get up, Leng Xingxuan’s cold voice sounded faintly.

“President Xuan… why don’t you just tell me directly what you want me to do?”

Although Song Ranxue still did not feel sleepy, after being tormented for an entire night and with so many things happening, she did want to quiet down for a while. Tomorrow, there would surely be many things waiting for her.

“Do you count as… eating and then running?” Although Leng Xingxuan felt that Song Ranxue was indeed not an especially passionate person, she had hot blood, and she had principles. Her attitude toward Leng Xingxuan in the bathroom just now had also been completely different. But now, after the passion had passed, she seemed to be dismissing Leng Xingxuan entirely.

Had she misjudged her?

“I… I’m still perfectly here, aren’t I? How is this eating and running?” Song Ranxue was choked by her words and felt somewhat wronged inside. In the end, she still resigned herself to standing up and coming before her. “Do you want me to get sleepwear for you?”

“Lie beside me and sleep with me.” At this point, Leng Xingxuan did not want to waste words with her either. She directly stared tightly into her eyes and ordered her.

“…Fine.” Song Ranxue finally understood what she meant. She felt that continuing to argue would be useless, so she might as well sleep beside her as Leng Xingxuan wanted.

It was just… it really made a person a little embarrassed.

She had not forgotten that Leng Xingxuan’s nightdress was still lying quietly on the bathroom floor. She still needed to find her a set of sleepwear, or something would definitely happen.

An Alpha’s possessiveness and desire for control were much stronger than she had imagined. It was very easy for someone to lose control and become no longer herself.

Leng Xingxuan looked strong, but that did not mean she could withstand being tormented so many times. Not to mention… this was her first time.

The no-CP female lead truly lived up to the title.

Since that was the case, Song Ranxue could not offend her any further.

But Leng Xingxuan thought she was dawdling. At the same time… she also felt that what had happened in the bathroom just now was somewhat not enough…

She had to get pregnant within two or three months. Within one month would be best. The timing had been calculated precisely, so she felt that if possible, she did not mind doing it a few more times.

In any case… once the bow was drawn, there was no turning back.

So when she looked at the Alpha before her, whose earlobes had turned faintly red as she turned around wanting to find sleepwear for her, Leng Xingxuan directly reached out and tugged hard at her hand, forcefully pulling her back.

Song Ranxue was caught off guard and stumbled from the pull. In order to keep her balance, she had no choice but to press down on the quilt behind her. And in order not to press onto Leng Xingxuan, her entire center of gravity could only drop. Their noses touched. If either of them raised her head, they would be able to kiss the other, the atmosphere extremely ambiguous.

Leng Xingxuan looked at her for one second, then without the slightest hesitation, raised her head and covered Song Ranxue’s lips with her own.
