A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 5

— Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! It’s already 11:00 AM! Why isn’t the stream back online yet?!

— My god, how much “non-broadcastable” content is there that even us high-tier VIP members aren’t allowed to see?!

— Same… I’ve been waiting all night… I’ve been camping here for hours since I woke up… Why is it still like this?

— Exactly! Just how intense was it last night?!

The Gossip Bullet-Chat System indeed hadn’t come back online yet. The reason wasn’t some dark, unspeakable secret, but rather… the scene in the room was a bit too intimate. Plus, Leng Xingxuan hadn’t woken up yet, so it wasn’t appropriate to open the chat. The viewers were left to speculate amongst themselves.

Inside the hotel room, although the Alpha and Omega pheromones had faded significantly, a few lingering strands remained entwined. Sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains, sliding across a pure white undergarment discarded on the soft carpet… adding to the lingering, decadent atmosphere.

In fact, clothing was scattered everywhere. A small camisole that Leng Xingxuan had been wearing was heartlessly draped over the headboard, trembling slightly in the breeze, sparking an inexplicable amount of imagination.

Song Ranxue was an Alpha, after all. Though she had done the most “work” last night, she woke up quickly—certainly before Leng Xingxuan. However, she had a splitting headache and her memories were a chaotic mess.

She clutched her forehead, forcing herself to recall the events of the previous night. Scattered fragments flashed through her mind, each one enough to make her face flush crimson… even to the point where she felt she might need to re-evaluate who she was.

But… she clearly remembered that midway through…

“Mm…?”

While Song Ranxue was lost in thought, the Omega sleeping beside her slowly stirred. She let out a lazy, soft call; her voice was cold yet it seemed to seep into one’s very marrow, making Song’s spine tingle.

Song Ranxue was pulled back to reality by that enchanting sound. She instinctively turned her head. Her eyes landed on the Omega’s snow-white shoulder, which was now marked with a fresh red bruise, looking vivid and striking. Song didn’t dare look for long.

She wanted to get dressed immediately and put some distance between them so she could calmly process what had happened.

— Ahhh, Xing-Xing, you’re finally awake! Quick, grab your Alpha! She’s trying to hit and run!

— My goodness… what happened in this room last night? One look and my face is turning red~

— (Covers eyes) Are they both dressed… I’m a good student, after all~

Actually, neither of them was wearing “proper” clothes. Their original outfits had been soaked and then subjected to a night of intense struggle. They were now wearing the bathrobes provided by the hotel; they looked disheveled, but at least they weren’t exposed.

Leng Xingxuan saw the first bullet-chat the moment she opened her eyes. Almost without thinking, she reached out and grabbed Song Ranxue’s forearm. She turned to look at her; against the light, she couldn’t see the Alpha’s face clearly, but she could smell a faint, misty, moist scent that was strangely refreshing.

“Miss, I didn’t do anything to you last night. Could you let go first?” Song Ranxue looked at the hand on her arm. She didn’t forcibly shake it off, but spoke first.

Certain things… had to be explained clearly, otherwise, it would be impossible to wrap this up.

— Didn’t do anything??? No way!!!!! Check your conscience!!!!

— Exactly, how could nothing have happened?! This whole room is evidence that ‘something’ happened!

— Xing-Xing, don’t be a coward, confront her!

Leng Xingxuan scanned the room expressionlessly. Sure enough… it was a disaster. Clothes were thrown everywhere… it was startling. She couldn’t believe it… had they really been that wild last night?

But the gland at the back of her neck… and her body didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable?

Leng Xingxuan didn’t release Song Ranxue’s hand. Instead, she quietly took stock of her physical state. Aside from her lips stinging a bit… nothing felt out of the ordinary. In fact, she felt more energized than usual, and her body felt lighter.

Moreover… her body still didn’t feel any repulsion toward Song Ranxue. This was an immense surprise.

“So, if you didn’t do anything, why were you trying to sneak away like a thief?” Leng Xingxuan found it hard to believe. Given the situation last night… she had actually managed to hold back?

She couldn’t help but look at the Alpha with suspicion and surprise. Her gaze traveled from Song’s face down to her waist and abdomen, as if trying to confirm something. Song Ranxue felt a chill, pulled the blanket up higher, and said in a deep voice: “Miss, just what are you imagining?”

“Are you… not very capable?” Leng Xingxuan was genuinely curious. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with her own charm, even if she didn’t usually play around.

“???” Song Ranxue was baffled. “What do you mean, not capable?”

“…I see,” Leng Xingxuan said, taking her reaction as an attempt to hide the truth. She nodded sympathetically. “I know a few doctors who specialize in ‘wellness.’ Since you helped me last night, I can introduce you to them—secretly.”

She emphasized the word “secretly,” as if she fully understood the Alpha’s “embarrassment.”

Song Ranxue: “???”

It would be a miracle if she didn’t understand what the Omega was implying now. She let out a laugh, not out of anger, but sheer amusement. She even reached out and tapped the space between the Omega’s eyebrows. “I think you’ve misunderstood. Last night, you were the one who didn’t have the stamina to finish. You fainted in my arms…” She paused significantly, savoring the transition from shock to blankness on the other woman’s face, before slowly finishing: “So, the one who needs ‘wellness’ is you, not me.”

— She… she’s actually kind of charming, help~

— The villain is so devious, but I love it (hides face).

— Pfft, after all that talk, the ‘incapable’ one was Xing-Xing?!

— No! My Xing-Xing can’t be incapable! I refuse to accept this!

“Now, can you let go of my arm?”

Song Ranxue saw a flush creep over the woman’s frost-like face, and the smile on her own lips widened. Leng Xingxuan didn’t know how to describe that smile; it was like the moon emerging from behind dark clouds—bright, clear, and unexpectedly playful.

Leng Xingxuan pursed her lips and slowly let go. She continued calmly, “So you just held me and slept all night? How hard for you.”

The words were loaded with sarcasm. Song Ranxue choked for a moment, her smile fading slightly. “I wouldn’t dare hold you all night. If you harassed me again and somehow forced me to take responsibility, wouldn’t I be the one losing out?”

In other words, the one who had been “unscrupulous” from start to finish was Leng Xingxuan.

Leng Xingxuan lowered her eyes, knowing she was in the wrong. In her twenty-some years of life, she had never experienced anything as… strange and passive as last night. It didn’t feel like her at all, which filled her with a slight sense of fear and unease.

Although she didn’t view herself as a “novel protagonist” like the bullet-chat suggested, she was a person in a high position. She was used to giving orders and having people obey. Because of her status, everyone was watching her; she was always careful with her every word and action.

Yet last night… it overturned everything. Specifically, it overturned her own perception of herself. She never thought she could be like that… it didn’t fit her image or her self-expectations at all.

As she looked at Song Ranxue and remembered her identity in the book… a different thought quietly took root.

If she can be used by me, that’s for the best. If not… don’t blame me for finding a way to shut her up permanently.

“Since there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.” Song Ranxue knew when to stop. She didn’t want to humiliate the woman further. Seeing the Omega look down in apparent realization of her fault, Song didn’t say more.

Especially since… from her angle, she could see the red marks below the woman’s collarbone… it sparked a strange sense of pity, even if she was the one who caused them.

Assuming the silence was consent, Song took her crumpled clothes into the bathroom to change. When she came out, the woman was still sitting on the bed, head down, lost in thought. The sunlight draped a soft glow over her, making her look both gentle and lonely.

For some reason, Song Ranxue felt a prick of pain in her heart. A character with such a unique aura couldn’t be a simple “extra” like her; she was likely someone important. Song’s lips moved; she had a sudden urge to ask for her name.

But the words died in her throat. Even if a background character knew the name, what would it change?

She had no desire to get involved with major characters. This was just an accident; she would make sure it never happened again.

So, Song Ranxue didn’t say goodbye. She just opened the door and left.

— Wait, wait, she’s just leaving?!

— Xing-Xing, go after her!!!

— Why should Xing-Xing be the one to chase?!

— So… nothing happened last night?

— But… Xing-Xing’s lip is cut…

Leng Xingxuan was still reflecting on the previous night, indifferent to the chat, until she saw the comment about her lip. She instinctively touched the corner of her mouth and felt a small, stinging cut.

She’s like a dog, she thought coldly.

…

Song Ranxue was cautious as she exited the room. She wasn’t sure if Tang Heya’s lackey, “Sister Ying,” would be looking for trouble. She pulled her baseball cap down low to avoid being recognized.

But as she turned a corner in a long hallway to reach the elevator, she accidentally collided with someone. That person was also wearing a baseball cap and acting suspiciously, holding some kind of fragile item.

With a loud shatter, a strong and familiar pheromone scent suddenly scattered through the air. Song Ranxue held her breath instantly, her expression changing as she glared sharply at the person in front of her.
