A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 7
Special Assistant He looked at her boss lazily leaning against the sofa. There was still a trace of pheromone scent lingering in the air. As an Omega herself, she could naturally distinguish exactly what sort of situation the pheromones floating in this hotel room indicated.
Not only could she smell her boss’s unique pheromone scent, she could also smell the scent of another Alpha’s pheromones. Then, thinking back to how her boss had inexplicably been grabbed and taken away by an Alpha last night, had not returned all night, and on top of that, only asked her to come find her when it was nearly noon the next day… No matter how she looked at it, it seemed as if something unspeakable… even indescribable, had happened.
Especially since… even after the windows had been opened for ventilation for so long, the scent of Alpha and Omega pheromones could still be smelled. It truly made one’s imagination run wild.
That was why she had asked her boss whether she still wanted to proceed with the plan to choose a wife who would marry into her family. After all… she had clearly seen that Alpha actually being able to get close to her boss. Not only that, she could touch her boss without making her feel repulsed. In Special Assistant He’s eyes, this was simply a miracle.
Others might not know, but ever since graduating from university, she had worked by Leng Xingxuan’s side. Over time, she naturally learned that Leng Xingxuan suffered from haphephobia, a fear of physical contact. This might have had something to do with her rank, or with her pheromones, or perhaps… with experiences from childhood. In short, she could not touch other people, and other people should not even think of touching her either. Otherwise, the outcome… probably would not be good.
In the past, if someone accidentally touched her boss, in mild cases, her boss would develop an allergic reaction. In serious cases, she would have difficulty breathing, and her condition would become increasingly strange. They were all extremely unpleasant sensations.
That was why her boss very rarely went to crowded places. Last night, she had only come to Yinfeng because that client had wanted novelty and excitement and had set the meeting here. Who would have thought they would enter the wrong room and encounter something like this?
It really was… something she did not know how to evaluate.
It was just that her boss did not seem to be very interested in that Alpha from last night? But considering her boss’s current situation… if she truly needed to choose a wife to marry into her family within a short period of time, was that Alpha from last night, named “Song Ranxue,” not the best candidate?
At the very least, she could come into contact with her boss without provoking disgust, and she had even spent the night in the same room as her. Was that not rather good? Why abandon what was close and seek something far away… searching all over again for a suitable match?
Moreover, she had also briefly investigated this Song Ranxue last night. She knew that her family was poor, her father had passed away long ago, and only her frail Alpha mother and disabled Beta younger sister were left. She was also being excluded by her current agency and teammate, and was currently hated across the entire internet. No matter how one looked at it, she seemed extremely suitable, and also very easy to control.
So why not directly choose her instead of going through the trouble of selecting someone else?
Special Assistant He did not really agree with Leng Xingxuan’s approach in her heart, but… she had no place to comment on her boss’s decisions. Her boss certainly had her reasons. Many times, all she needed to do was follow Leng Xingxuan’s instructions. There was no need to ask too much about anything else.
Because of this, after responding, she had nothing more to say.
“Did you bring the inhibitor?” Leng Xingxuan did not continue the topic of Song Ranxue. What she wanted to know more was why she had suddenly entered a special period last night. She had clearly taken an inhibitor in advance, and nothing like this had ever happened before. Why had something gone wrong last night of all times? And it had happened when she encountered that Alpha. Was this deliberate, or was it only an accident?
She really did want to know.
Leng Xingxuan let out a cold laugh in her heart. She had finally enjoyed a peaceful period for a while, yet something like this had happened again. It seemed someone truly did not know whether they lived or died.
Since that was the case, she did not need to give them face either.
However, the matter of choosing a wife who would marry into her family still had to be held and settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, things would become far too troublesome later.
Leng Xingxuan could not be blamed for being anxious. Even though ABO society had developed to this point, it still discriminated against Omegas and Betas, or at least held enormous prejudice toward people of these two major genders.
Most people in power were still Alphas.
As for Omegas holding power, there were almost none. If an Omega wanted to hold power, she had to pay an enormous price and also possess extremely strong methods to control everything. Otherwise, after occupying a high position, if she were dragged down again, saying she would be shattered to pieces would not be an exaggeration.
Leng Xingxuan had grown up amid such scheming and deception since she was young, so naturally, she knew the stakes. Before she differentiated into an Omega, the people in her family had still been somewhat wary of her. Coupled with her grandmother’s protection, she had managed to grow up smoothly enough.
However, after she differentiated into an Omega, they no longer had any fear of her. On top of that, her grandmother was also getting older and often lacked the strength to do what she wanted. Most of the time, if Leng Xingxuan wanted to stand at the highest point, she could only rely on herself.
After so many years, she had done it. She had also taken back what belonged to her. Since that was the case, there was no way she could hand over her own things again.
She also knew very well that the people in the family would certainly keep staring at her marriage. They had already begun arranging marriage partners for her. As long as she married one of the candidates they chose for her, they would have achieved their goal and would be able to control her.
Now that they had not yet finished making all their arrangements, she naturally had to find a suitable marriage partner for herself before they arranged everything, turning the tables on them first.
That was why this so-called plan to choose a wife who would marry into her family also had to be carried out in secret. Xingkong SOHO belonged entirely to her. Choosing a day to carry out this plan inside was not difficult. Nor would she do anything to these candidates.
It would merely be some basic questioning and contact.
She simply refused to believe that she would reject every Alpha.
There had to be one who was compatible with her constitution.
“I brought it.” Special Assistant He did not waste words. She directly took out the inhibitor Leng Xingxuan had used not long ago and placed it before her, asking, “President Xuan, do you think there’s a problem with this inhibitor?”
Special Assistant He had followed her for too long. Even if Leng Xingxuan said nothing, by connecting it slightly to what had happened last night… she could understand what had happened. Leng Xingxuan had always been calm and self-disciplined. There was absolutely no way she would release pheromones in such a mixed and chaotic setting like last night.
Because that was far too dangerous, and also far too frivolous. It did not fit the image she had always maintained or the way she handled things at all.
Therefore, she guessed that something must have happened to cause Leng Xingxuan to become like this.
And Leng Xingxuan had guessed one step ahead of her that this was very likely related to the inhibitor…
But Leng Xingxuan’s inhibitors had always been prepared by trusted aides, and the matter was absolutely confidential. There had never been any mistake. How had the other party used the inhibitor to scheme against Leng Xingxuan?
For a moment, Special Assistant He also fell silent.
Leng Xingxuan weighed the inhibitor on the table in her hand, pulled off the cap, and sniffed it. The scent was not much different from usual. The color also looked no different from normal. It truly made it impossible to guess anything.
That made sense. Her subordinates worked so cautiously; how could they possibly give her an inferior product to use? Before she even discovered it, the people under her would already have found out.
“Isn’t Du Jing usually the one who prepares my inhibitors? Where is she?” After thinking for a moment, Leng Xingxuan still felt that the investigation should begin close at hand.
“She started her leave yesterday. She said she had to go back to see her sick father,” Special Assistant He said.
“I see…” Leng Xingxuan seemed to have sensed that something was not right. She said nothing more, only instructed, “Test this bottle of inhibitor and see what components are inside. Tell me once there are results.”
“Yes.” Special Assistant He did not speak further and agreed. Sensing that things here were more or less handled, she wanted to tidy up and leave with Leng Xingxuan.
“Go clean up. Make it thorough. Don’t let anyone catch any leverage.” Leng Xingxuan then gave another instruction. She still felt lazy all over and was not very willing to move.
Special Assistant He moved very quickly and soon cleaned up the things in the room. Actually, aside from the fact that the scent in the room was a little ambiguous and the furnishings were a little messy, there did not seem to be anything else wrong… Cough. But just that alone was already enough to make one’s imagination run wild.
—What does this mean? Xingxing still wants to choose a wife to marry in and doesn’t want the great villain???
—In other words, this green hat is definitely going on the great villain’s head???
—Ah, no, was the reason Xingxing became so abnormal last night because of the inhibitor???
—No way, no way, no way…
—But it seems like that really is the case…
—Hey, wait! Xingxing! There seems to be something shiny on the floor. Hurry and see what it is~ Could it be something belonging to the great villain? Perfect for creating the next meeting!
…
Leng Xingxuan tugged at the corner of her lips, truly not wanting to pay attention to the last bullet comment. However, she also knew that now was not the time to be willful. In the end, she still pretended to look at the floor. Sure enough, near the foot of the bed, there was something shiny, though she did not know what it was.
She had Special Assistant He pick it up directly. After Special Assistant Zhao glanced at it, she said, “President Xuan, this is a cinnabar luck bracelet. It should belong to Miss Song?”
Special Assistant He guessed.
“Miss Song? You know her?” Leng Xingxuan had her hand over the shabby-looking, somewhat low-quality luck bracelet. Holding it in her hand, she examined it for a while and asked casually.
“I investigated her a little…” Special Assistant He sharply sensed that something in Leng Xingxuan’s tone had changed a little, and even her voice grew softer.
“Interested in her?” Leng Xingxuan raised the luck bracelet before her eyes and looked at it. She glanced at Special Assistant He, her tone still careless.
“Cough. That Miss Song is the first Alpha who can get close to you, and her background can be considered clean, so… so I paid a little more attention,” Special Assistant He could only force herself to explain.
“He Wei, don’t try to be clever.” Leng Xingxuan flicked the cinnabar on the luck bracelet, then closed her hand around it, her meaning unclear as she spoke.
“…” Special Assistant He did not dare say anything more. Her boss was frightening even when she said nothing.
…
…
Two days later, in the afternoon.
[Ranxue, Xingkong SOHO, sixteenth floor, Room 1605. You remember, right? Don’t go to the wrong place.]
The moment Song Ranxue came out of the subway station, she received a reminder text from Lin Yurou, the senior from her university. Warmth filled her heart, and she immediately replied: [Senior Yurou, I know. I’ve already arrived. I’ll contact you after the interview and treat you to a meal~]
After that, she also sent a wink emoji.
Once she sent the message, she put away her phone. Looking at the grand, business-filled SOHO before her, she took a deep breath and stepped inside.
At the same time, in the underground parking lot of Xingkong SOHO, Leng Xingxuan also got out of the car. She wore sunglasses, and her body seemed to have already returned to normal. She was still dressed in a sharp, capable suit. Surrounded by everyone, she entered the elevator and went straight to the sixteenth floor.
—Yoshi, the day to choose a wife who’ll marry in has finally arrived! This time, it seems more than a hundred Alphas have been prepared?! Xingxing is blessed with romantic fortune!
