A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 23.1

Although Leng Xingxuan’s heart was so urgently thinking this, she did not move for a long time. There was even no expression on her face at all, not the slightest hint that she harbored such unspeakable thoughts toward the Alpha before her.

In truth, when Song Ranxue said, “For every place I apply ointment, I’ll kiss you once,” the reactions from the melon-eating masses in the gossip bullet-screen system became even livelier:

—She’s taking revenge! This is absolutely revenge!

—Hahahahaha, Xuexue is too fun!

—I feel like… she and Xingxing are actually really alike, hahahahaha~

—Right! They both repay every slight! No matter how long it’s been!

—Female lead x villain really are a match made in heaven!

…

At that moment, Leng Xingxuan did not feel anywhere on her body was uncomfortable. But reading the bullet comments until they made her laugh in anger, she also did not deny that Song Ranxue was like her. She indeed repaid every slight.

It was just that Song Ranxue repaying every slight against her was not something that made one happy.

Because the person Song Ranxue was dealing with was her. Although she could not exactly say she was unable to withstand it, she still was not especially happy.

She did not like being controlled by others, especially when Song Ranxue’s role in the book was so sensitive. How could Leng Xingxuan possibly not guard against her?

So Leng Xingxuan felt that she was actually very contradictory. On one hand, she wanted to use Song Ranxue to reach her own goal. On the other hand, she still did not want to give up her own feelings… but she felt that this latter point might be very difficult.

Even though she was already doing her utmost to suppress her feelings, she had no choice but to admit that… her eye for people was indeed quite good. Song Ranxue truly had quite a lot of personal charm, different from every Alpha she had ever met.

If the person she had encountered had been another Alpha, then without a doubt, the first time they met, she would have been marked by the other party instead of waiting until now… Last night, it was even only after being rejected twice that the Alpha reluctantly… had physical intimacy with her.

Although she could also feel that Song Ranxue had actually endured for a very long time.

But how should she put it? She sensed that Song Ranxue truly could withstand temptation. This point genuinely surprised her, almost to the point where she could not imagine it.

Because of this, her feelings toward Song Ranxue became even more complicated.

At this moment, perhaps because she was too close to Song Ranxue, or perhaps because the inducing agent in that bowl of congee still had some effect on her, she could not control her own pheromones. They stirred restlessly and approached the Alpha before her, as if wanting to wrap the other woman into a tight cocoon.

The thought of “possess her, bully her” in her mind also became clearer and clearer, almost reaching the point where she would act on it immediately.

Clearly… her body already hurt to the point that it made her ashamed.

No. She could not do this. She absolutely could not be controlled by instinct.

“…You couldn’t have been scared silly by me, could you?” Song Ranxue sat in front of her. Seeing her completely frozen, as if unable to react, she could not help saying this. Her gaze also carried a trace of worry, making Leng Xingxuan somewhat surprised too.

This little Alpha before her had no guard up against her at all, as if completely unaware what kind of thoughts Leng Xingxuan had toward her. Leng Xingxuan also closed her eyes, even more deeply suppressing the madness and uncontrollable thoughts filling her chest.

She wanted to possess her, but not now.

She returned to her senses, looked at Song Ranxue, and continued their earlier topic. “So then, how exactly will you kiss me?”

“…How do you want me to kiss you?” Song Ranxue felt that perhaps she had been overthinking just now. Leng Xingxuan would never be scared silly by her words.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” She threw the question back to her again.

—How else can she kiss? Of course, wherever she applies medicine, she kisses that spot!

—Hahahahaha, you’re the one who really knows how to play!

—You people are driving a very new kind of car again!

—Actually, I think applying medicine once and kissing the lips once is pretty romantic. Ah~

…

Leng Xingxuan imagined the two scenarios in the bullet comments… and felt that neither was very good. In both, she was the one placed in a passive position, without the slightest initiative. That was not good.

She wanted to bully Song Ranxue, tease Song Ranxue. Naturally, she needed another, more practical method.

However, she was actually also betting that Song Ranxue did not truly want to kiss her, and only wanted to teach her a small lesson. After all, that was what Song Ranxue had done just now.

She also felt that was rather normal. But when the time came… whether Song Ranxue was willing to kiss her or not might truly no longer be up to her. Who knew to what extent the instincts of a special period would go out of control?

Sure enough, she soon heard Song Ranxue say, “Cough. We’re really kissing? That’s not very good, is it?”

It was not that she truly wanted to kiss Leng Xingxuan. She only wanted to take a tiny bit of revenge. Because she did not want to see that wary expression on Leng Xingxuan’s face. Clearly, Leng Xingxuan had been the one to provoke her first. How could she be afraid of her?

That was why she had taken the initiative to create this “next time” to satisfy her.

As Song Ranxue spoke, she no longer hesitated and began applying the ointment.

Her fingertips were warm, her movements careful, as if treating a fragile treasure. Her eyes also carried a trace of guilt and pity. Leng Xingxuan lowered her head and looked at her, always feeling that this way of getting along was somewhat subtle.

Perhaps she could…

It was just that right now, she did not especially want to destroy this rather warm atmosphere.

“Actually, you don’t need to be this careful with me. I’m not some porcelain doll.” Leng Xingxuan disliked her movements for being too slow, and also too meticulous. Every brush against her skin made her somewhat unable to endure.

It was as if a sword hanging above her head was watching her at every moment, always giving her a sense of danger and discomfort.

On top of that, the relationship between her and Song Ranxue was anything but ordinary… making it even more covered in a layer of ambiguity. She was now still in the dependency period, and she did not know whether she had been affected by the inducing agent or not. She had to do her utmost to control that heart-trembling feeling. Otherwise… she might have already released pheromones to seduce Song Ranxue.

So she had no choice but to remind her.

“You want me to be a little rougher with you?” Song Ranxue raised her head and glanced at her, her smile also carrying hidden meaning, full of implication. “No wonder when I used less strength last night, you kept pinching my shoulders. So that’s how it was.”

“…Can you stop spouting nonsense?” Leng Xingxuan had not meant that at all. She had only wanted to quickly end this “torture” of applying medicine. She had not expected Song Ranxue to drag in something unrelated again.

She knew nothing about what Song Ranxue said, all right!

—Hahahahaha, Xingxing is embarrassed into anger!

—So Xingxing has this kind of preference. Stroking chin.

—This… is this XP called being a little M?

—Probably? Covering my face. So full of love, hahahaha~

…

Leng Xingxuan looked at the bullet comments filling the screen and mocking her, then became expressionless. She would just pretend she had not seen their ridicule.

In any case, she had not meant that at all.

“All right. Since you ask for that, I can only use a little more strength. Don’t blame me if it hurts.” Song Ranxue did not actually want to make her embarrassed. She only wanted to tease her. She had also discovered that the number of times she wanted to tease Leng Xingxuan was gradually increasing. This was not a good sign.

So afterward, she only focused on helping her apply medicine and did not say anything else. For a while, things became much quieter.

After finally applying medicine to all the visible bruises exposed outside, Song Ranxue felt that she should go one step further.

She could also guess that Leng Xingxuan probably would not be willing to let her help apply medicine elsewhere, so she would not invite humiliation. But there were some places Leng Xingxuan could not see or apply medicine to herself, and Song Ranxue really should help her a little.

For example—

“Maybe you can lift your leg a bit so I can take a look.”

She tapped Leng Xingxuan’s knee and reminded her.

“…No.” Naturally, Leng Xingxuan understood what she meant and refused almost without thinking.

“Can you manage it yourself?” Song Ranxue would not force her. She truly did not have any alluring thoughts right now. She only felt that since she had caused Leng Xingxuan’s injuries, she absolutely had to take proper responsibility.

“Whether I can or not, I don’t need you.” Leng Xingxuan was not someone entirely without shame. Even though from the outside, the Alpha before her had no difference in physical structure from her, Leng Xingxuan still felt awkward.

This kind of behavior was too intimate. She could not accept it.

“You dislike me?” Song Ranxue smiled and did not insist. “Fine. Then my mission can be considered complete. Take care of yourself.”

This could actually be considered the expected result. She was not too disappointed. After all, she and Leng Xingxuan were not familiar yet. Even if she was doing it for her good, that could not become a reason to overstep boundaries.

This only made… her struggle last night seem ridiculous. She should not have agonized for so long. She really should have gone to save her younger sister. She still felt guilty now. She had wronged her family.

Song Ranxue felt that she had stayed here for quite some time. Leng Xingxuan was indeed fine too. That proved… the pheromone-inducing agent had no effect on her for now. Although Song Ranxue did not know the reason, at least she could feel reassured enough to leave.

After she finished saying this, she stood and walked outside without the slightest hint of lingering attachment, as if the ambiguity and warmth just now had all ceased to exist.

Leng Xingxuan looked at her back… and that feeling of gain and loss climbed to its peak. She knew this was because of the dependency period, and she also wanted to do her utmost to suppress this thought and keep her emotions from being exposed.

Right now, she felt that she was far too contradictory. On one hand, she wanted to suppress it. On the other, she also wanted to indulge it. But after this while, she could completely confirm that the pheromone-inducing agent in the congee did not have much effect on her. Her possessiveness toward Song Ranxue should be the effect of the dependency period.

To make her submit to the effects of the dependency period and ask the other woman to stay… she could not do it.

But in the end, she had still overestimated herself. Or perhaps she was simply unwilling to watch Song Ranxue so calmly withdraw and leave, leaving only her alone here to feel uneasy. This made her feel stifled.

So when Song Ranxue reached out to open the door, Leng Xingxuan suddenly said, “No hurry. I’m going back to the company later too. It’s on the way.”

Song Ranxue: ? What was on the way?

Leng Xingxuan returning to the company had nothing to do with her. She definitely had to go home first and check what was going on, then make other plans. So Song Ranxue did not understand what Leng Xingxuan meant by “on the way.”

She turned back to look at Leng Xingxuan, obvious confusion appearing in her eyes, as if she had not understood what this meant.

—My, why are these two so awkward when dating?

—Although Xingxing’s face has no expression at all, her ears are red.

—What else could be on the way? Of course, it means she’ll send the great villain home on the way!

—So why can’t she finish the sentence properly?

…

“…I’ll send you home on the way.” Leng Xingxuan also felt that this awkwardness of hers had come strangely. She did not like being like this, so she still completed the sentence directly.

“? But my home is in the urban village. It’s in a completely different direction from your company…”

“If I say it’s on the way, then it’s on the way.”

Leng Xingxuan did not wait for Song Ranxue to finish and directly cut off her words, not letting her continue.

Song Ranxue: “…” Why did she feel as if Leng Xingxuan was embarrassed into anger?

Clearly, Song Ranxue had not said anything wrong.

“Then fine. I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Song Ranxue could only say in the end.

—No way, she’s leaving just like that? Shouldn’t she stay beside Xingxing at all times?

—The great villain’s thoughts are even more unpredictable than Sister’s.

—Sister, be a little bolder! The great villain is already yours anyway. What’s wrong with making her stay?

—Right!

…

Leng Xingxuan merely looked at these bullet comments indifferently and did not think she needed Song Ranxue standing guard beside her while she changed clothes and washed up. Just imagining that scene made one… uncomfortable.

So she did not stop Song Ranxue from leaving.

After Song Ranxue completely left and closed the door, Leng Xingxuan finally relaxed completely. But at the same time, she felt as if something were missing, making her feel empty.

She did her utmost to suppress it. The constant pain in her body also reminded her that she could not indulge again in the short term. She wanted a child, but she should at least wait until she recovered somewhat before continuing.

She still needed to properly think about what she should do next. This truly was not an easy matter.

From any angle.

The breakfast on the table had long since gone cold. According to what Song Ranxue said just now, she knew this breakfast had pheromone-inducing agent in it. Although she had actually known this long ago too, she had learned it after investigating the entire matter clearly.

But Song Ranxue probably had not known what was going on from beginning to end. So why had she known so quickly?

Leng Xingxuan knew that Song Ranxue’s identity in the book was special. Since that was the case, it was very possible there was someone behind her supporting her approach.

It was just that Leng Xingxuan had investigated her identity for a long time and had not found anything. So perhaps her earlier guess was wrong.

However, Song Ranxue’s identity and motives were still enough to trouble her for quite some time. Just now, she had also nearly… been controlled by instinct… and done such a thing to her. She really should not have.

Leng Xingxuan sat alone on the bed and thought for a long time. She thought until she almost became lost in it, completely forgetting that she was currently “heavily injured.” Just as usual, she wanted to get out of bed, move around, wash up, and change clothes.

Unexpectedly, the moment one foot had just stepped firmly onto the floor and she had not even fully stood, she felt a piercing pain. Caught off guard, she let out a small cry and fell down—

In the next moment, however, someone swiftly caught her around the waist. Pheromones that were misty, hazy, and reassuring like fog and clouds immediately followed.

“President Xuan, be careful. If you can’t even walk one step steadily, do you really need to go out?”

The person who had caught Leng Xingxuan in time was none other than Song Ranxue. Just from smelling the pheromones, Leng Xingxuan knew who it was.

Song Ranxue had actually waited downstairs for nearly half an hour, but seeing that Leng Xingxuan still showed no sign of coming down, she grew somewhat anxious. Moreover, she truly was not on the way with Leng Xingxuan. Since that was the case, she might as well go back on her own.

That was why she had come upstairs, planning to tell Leng Xingxuan before leaving.

She had not expected that the moment she opened the door, she would see such a scene. Leng Xingxuan had lost her balance and fallen to the floor, making Song Ranxue’s heart suddenly empty. By the time she came back to herself, she had already arrived behind Leng Xingxuan and caught her.

She felt that in Leng Xingxuan’s current condition, it would be better not to go out again.

Just looking at her made one feel heartache.

However, Leng Xingxuan had become like this because of her. She had no right to make sarcastic remarks.

“Why did you come up again?” Leng Xingxuan discovered that every time she embarrassed herself, Song Ranxue would run into it. She felt that her image had been almost thoroughly destroyed.

“I came up not because I wanted to do anything to you, but because I wanted to tell you I should leave first.” Song Ranxue took the opportunity to release her. Her movements were also very crisp and decisive, without the slightest hint of reluctance, as if she had truly only come up to tell her this before leaving.

“If you go out now to take a car, it’ll take about the same amount of time as waiting for me to go out with you. There’s no need to go out by yourself,” Leng Xingxuan said directly to her.

“Then may I ask why you sat in this room for forty minutes without doing anything? Were you sitting here meditating?” Seeing that Leng Xingxuan was still wearing the same nightdress as before, with nothing changed, Song Ranxue felt that perhaps she truly needed to rest. She could just go back by herself.

“Yes. You guessed right. I was sitting here meditating.” Leng Xingxuan misunderstood her meaning, thinking that she disliked her being slow and did not want to wait for her. Her attitude also worsened.

“…If you need help, you can very well let me help you.” Hearing this, Song Ranxue knew Leng Xingxuan had misunderstood her meaning. She did not get angry either. She only glanced at her and told her what she was thinking. “In any case, we’re both girls. What you have, I have too, and it’s not like I haven’t seen it. You actually don’t need to guard against me so much.”

—The logic is that logic… But Alpha and Omega… are actually two sexes. Although their first gender is female, the second gender is actually what truly determines the difference between them, so I can understand Xingxing’s awkwardness.

—Right, exactly! The great villain’s heart is too big~

—But I actually think that after last night, they’ve already seen everything. I feel like there really isn’t a need… to be so cautious, right?

—Right. This makes them seem so distant! Most importantly, Sister really has difficulty moving right now, and the culprit is the great villain. Naturally, she should be the one to take responsibility. I don’t think there’s any problem with that!
