A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 21.2
Naturally, Leng Xingxuan saw all these bullet comments, but right now, she had no mind to look at what they were saying. She only focused on staring at Song Ranxue, as if she wanted to see through her soul.
Song Ranxue hardened her heart and pulled herself away from Leng Xingxuan, forcing herself to calm down. “President Xuan, can’t we talk properly if there’s something?”
“No.” Leng Xingxuan deliberately angered her.
“…Then what do you want me to do?” Song Ranxue no longer wanted to waste words with her and asked directly.
“Can’t your attitude toward me be a little better? Do I disgust you that much?” The moment Leng Xingxuan saw her expression, her mood became poor. This was what not liking someone looked like, wasn’t it?
“I’ve always been like this.” Song Ranxue’s aura was indeed not the bright, flamboyant type. If one truly had to describe it, she was like an impressionist oil painting. At first glance, she clearly seemed plain, even as if there was nothing there, but if one examined her closely, one could always taste something different from it, drawing one deeper.
However, this kind of attraction was not much of a problem for others, but for someone of Leng Xingxuan’s identity and position… it could be fatal.
She had to constantly warn herself that she absolutely could not sink too deeply. Yet on the other hand, she also felt that Song Ranxue should not treat her this coldly.
It was as if everything last night had been nothing more than a dream. Once the dream ended, everything vanished like bubbles.
But she was not willing to accept that. Perhaps she was also greedy. She could not stand seeing Song Ranxue treat her so coldly, and that was why she had truly become angry.
“You said last night that you would take responsibility for me. How exactly do you plan to take responsibility?” Leng Xingxuan knew that saying anything else now would be useless. Rather than continue like this, she might as well directly ask how Song Ranxue planned to treat her afterward.
“Last night… I actually took birth-control pills.” Although Song Ranxue felt that this topic was difficult to speak about, in order to reassure Leng Xingxuan, she still said it aloud.
—???? When did she take them?!
—Didn’t everything happen very suddenly last night? How…
—So strange. Last night was clearly like dry wood meeting raging fire. How could there possibly have been time to take birth-control pills? Unless the great villain has the ability to predict the future!
—Right, right! I think so too!
…
When Leng Xingxuan heard her words, she also felt that it was inconceivable. She even thought she might have misheard. “What did you say?”
“I said I actually took birth-control pills last night. You don’t need to worry that you’ll get pregnant.” Although Song Ranxue was not very clear where the plot hole had appeared, what she did know was that if she wanted to prevent the plot from developing too big a bug, she had to stay away from Leng Xingxuan, and she could not leave behind any hidden trouble.
Things like pregnancy and having a child absolutely could not happen to Leng Xingxuan. Otherwise, she did not know to what extent the plot would collapse.
So, last night on the way to Leng Xingxuan’s home, although she had not been sure what would happen next, she had known that Leng Xingxuan seemed to have one or two traces of interest in her. Of course, she was not so narcissistic as to think the female lead would like her, a passerby character. It was very likely Leng Xingxuan wanted to obtain something from her. Perhaps stimulation, perhaps pleasure. No one knew.
Since that was the case, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, she could only go to a pharmacy, buy birth-control pills, and take them first, lest in the end she be unable to stop things or control herself and make Leng Xingxuan bear something she should not have to bear.
Thinking about it now… she had been extremely self-aware and had spared herself from a disaster.
“…” Leng Xingxuan looked at her extremely serious expression, and her vision nearly went black. She felt as if her whole body had begun to ache. She had calculated everything, yet never expected that under last night’s circumstances, Song Ranxue would actually take birth-control pills in advance, sparing them both from trouble.
But that was exactly the kind of trouble she needed.
So the greatest villain in the book was actually such a considerate person. She really had not guessed that.
Leng Xingxuan did not know whether she should be angry or amused. Staring at Song Ranxue, she could not say a single word.
“What’s wrong? Should I not have taken them?” Looking at Leng Xingxuan’s expression, Song Ranxue felt as if it was the first time she had known Leng Xingxuan’s expressions could be this rich. She seemed to want to get angry, yet also seemed to be holding something back, forcing herself not to speak. It made Song Ranxue feel strange too.
Last night, she had already crossed the line and should not have treated Leng Xingxuan like that. And she should not have taken birth-control pills? If she caused a huge disaster later, even immortals would not be able to save her.
So, she felt that she had done nothing wrong.
—To be honest, Xuexue doing this is really a sign of responsibility. From her perspective, I don’t think she did anything wrong.
—Uh, should we just tell her Xingxing’s plan…
—Pfft, pfft, is the person above stupid? Tell her? She’s the great villain! Just because she hasn’t blackened now doesn’t mean she won’t in the future!
—Exactly! You can treat her well, but you can’t have no secrets at all, okay!
—Sigh, this is really difficult now…
…
“When did you take them?” At this point, Leng Xingxuan could no longer get angry over anything, but she still felt terrible. There were some things she had to ask clearly, lest she suffer another loss next time.
“Before I came.” Song Ranxue could not figure out why Leng Xingxuan’s attitude toward her was so strange. “When I was sending my sister home, I got out of the car once.”
She did not state it too clearly, but Leng Xingxuan knew that was when she had bought the medicine and taken it.
She closed her eyes and sighed inwardly, feeling that she truly had overlooked one thing despite all her planning. She had never expected something like this to happen.
Why had things become like this… Everything she had done last night had been completely useless, and she had even… forcibly ruined her own image.
Because from beginning to end, she had been the one actively seducing Song Ranxue. How would Song Ranxue look at her now?
It was truly too… embarrassing.
“It’s getting late. Do you still have anything to say to me?” Seeing that Leng Xingxuan’s mood did indeed seem bad—perhaps she regretted it now—Song Ranxue felt it might be better for her to avoid this for a while. Last night’s female lead had truly been very different from her usual self… and once a person had tasted something, they knew its flavor. Song Ranxue felt she should probably withdraw.
“How long is the birth control you took effective for?” Leng Xingxuan was still unwilling to give up on her plan. Judging by what she had experienced last night, if she did not get pregnant as soon as possible, similar things would only be waiting for her.
She knew She Ming was not the mastermind. The true mastermind was someone else. She also knew their objective, so she was even more urgent.
Ultimately, she did not trust anyone, nor did she trust Song Ranxue. But she trusted herself.
“…What do you mean by asking that?” Song Ranxue was not stupid. How could someone who had fought her way through the entertainment industry for so long possibly be stupid? The moment she heard Leng Xingxuan ask such a question, alarm already rose in her heart.
“Answer me.” Leng Xingxuan did not tell her the reason. She only spoke to her in an almost commanding tone.
“President Xuan, I respectfully call you President Xuan to give you face. It doesn’t mean I have to be like your subordinates, obeying your every word and coming and going whenever you order. If you want me to answer, please make your attitude a little better.” Song Ranxue did not like Leng Xingxuan treating her with this attitude. She did not owe her anything.
“All right, Miss Song. Please tell me.” There was no other expression on Leng Xingxuan’s face. She still asked with a cold expression, her attitude no different from before.
Song Ranxue felt anger clogging her heart, but it was not good to act out either. She coldly threw out a few words. “Seventy-two hours.”
—Ohhh, then I understand. Three days later!
—Oh my god, is getting pregnant really this troublesome?
—Next time, why not just knock the great villain out and go straight to action!
—Uh, that’s not very good, right? That’s illegal!
—These two… really are the female lead and the villain. They seem naturally incompatible.
…
Leng Xingxuan still had no mind to look at the bullet comments. She adjusted her sitting posture slightly, but still felt piercing pain in her body. Song Ranxue must have injured her. She had to apply medicine as soon as possible.
Keeping Song Ranxue here now was useless too. She also needed to properly calm herself down, so she said directly to her, “You may leave.”
Song Ranxue wished she could leave immediately. She glanced at Leng Xingxuan and saw that her complexion was extremely pale, while there were also very imagination-stirring marks near her collarbone. For some reason, her heart softened again.
But when she met Leng Xingxuan’s cold gaze, that softness she had almost sunk into vanished at once. The female lead only treated her as a tool, so what was she still thinking about here?
And she should not forget that she was only a passerby character.
She withdrew her gaze and walked toward the bathroom, planning to change back into last night’s clothes and leave.
—No way, she’s just leaving like this???
—Isn’t this when an Omega needs companionship and comfort the most?
—Xingxing, don’t be so bad at speaking!
—Wuwuwu, I want to see sweet love!
…
Leng Xingxuan still sat perfectly straight, her face entirely expressionless. She allowed those bullet comments to drift before her eyes, and naturally, she knew they were telling the truth.
Even though Song Ranxue had not marked her, the two of them had still shared physical intimacy. Moreover, for the past twenty-some years, she had endured every special period on her own, and no one had been able to touch her.
Now, someone who could touch her without making her feel repulsed had abruptly appeared… To be honest, her pheromones were more honest than she was. They were already restless, wanting to follow Song Ranxue closely.
But she still controlled them fiercely. No matter what, she could not do such an embarrassing thing again.
Song Ranxue quickly changed her clothes and walked out. Leng Xingxuan did not look at her again, still staring out the window with no expression. Song Ranxue glanced at her and had originally wanted to say goodbye, but seeing her like this… she could only abandon the thought. An indescribable grievance also filled her heart.
This was clearly a perfect example of eating and then leaving, and Leng Xingxuan was even giving her a cold face. If she had known earlier, she would have been harsher last night.
Song Ranxue opened the door and left, her expression not very good. Leng Xingxuan’s residence was quite large, but there were not many people standing guard. As she was going downstairs, she happened to run into a servant carrying hot congee, rice noodles, and similar foods upstairs. It should be for Leng Xingxuan.
As she smelled the fragrance, she suddenly felt hungry too. From last night until now, she had not eaten much.
The servant greeted her and quickly left. For some reason, Song Ranxue felt that the fragrance of the food seemed a little strange, but exactly what was strange about it… she could not distinguish for the moment. In the end, she could only give up.
However, just as she was about to leave the villa gate, she suddenly seemed to remember something. Her expression abruptly changed. No longer caring about anything else, she turned and rushed upstairs toward Leng Xingxuan’s room. After opening the door, she saw Leng Xingxuan sending a spoonful of congee toward her mouth. Song Ranxue immediately stopped her anxiously. “Don’t drink it! There’s a problem!”
But she was still too late. Leng Xingxuan’s throat moved slightly.
She had already swallowed a mouthful of congee—
