A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 7

Special Assistant He watched her boss lean languidly against the sofa, a faint trace of pheromones still lingering in the air. As an Omega herself, she could naturally distinguish the situation regarding the pheromones floating in this hotel room.

She could not only smell the unique scent of her boss’s pheromones but also the scent of another Alpha. Recalling how her boss had been inexplicably snatched away by an Alpha last night and had stayed out all night… and then waiting until nearly noon the next day to be called—no matter how she looked at it, it seemed like something “untellable” and “indescribable” had occurred.

Specifically… even though the windows had been open for ventilation for quite some time, the intertwined scent of Alpha and Omega pheromones was still detectable, truly sparking one’s imagination.

This was why she had asked her boss if the plan to select a resident spouse was still proceeding. After all… she had clearly seen that that Alpha was actually able to get close to her boss. Not only that, but the Alpha could touch her without causing a repulsive reaction; in Assistant He’s eyes, this was nothing short of a miracle.

Others might not know, but having worked for Leng Xingxuan since graduating from university, she knew that Leng Xingxuan suffered from Haphephobia (fear of touch). This might be related to her rank, her pheromones, or perhaps… experiences from her childhood. In short, she couldn’t touch others, and others shouldn’t dream of touching her. Otherwise, the outcome… would likely be grim.

In the past, if someone accidentally touched her boss, the reaction ranged from allergies to difficulty breathing, and her state would become increasingly strange and painful.

That was why her boss rarely went to crowded places. The only reason they had come to Yinfeng last night was that the client, seeking novelty and excitement, had set the location there. Who would have thought they’d enter the wrong room and encounter such an event?

It was truly… hard to find the words to describe it.

However, her boss seemed to have no interest in that Alpha from last night? But given her boss’s current situation… if she really needed to select a spouse in a short amount of time, wasn’t that Alpha named “Song Ranxue” the best candidate?

At the very least, she could touch the boss without repulsing her, and they had spent a night in the same room. Wasn’t that a good thing? Why go to such great lengths to search for a new match?

Moreover, she had done a quick check on Song Ranxue last night. She knew the girl came from a poor family; her father had passed away, leaving only a frail Alpha mother and a disabled Beta sister. She was being ostracized by her current agency and teammates and was currently being “blacklisted” by the entire internet. No matter how you looked at it, she was a perfect candidate—and very easy to control.

So, why not just pick her instead of going through all this trouble?

Assistant He didn’t entirely agree with Leng Xingxuan’s approach. However… she had no right to question her boss’s decisions. There was surely a reason for it; most of the time, she just needed to follow orders without asking questions.

Therefore, after acknowledging the command, she didn’t say anything more.

“Did you bring the suppressors?” Leng Xingxuan didn’t mention Song Ranxue again. She was more interested in knowing why she had suddenly entered a “Special Period” last night. She had clearly taken a suppressor in advance and had never had an issue before. Why did it happen last night of all nights? And why exactly when she encountered that Alpha? Was it intentional or just an accident?

She really wanted to know.

Leng Xingxuan let out a cold laugh internally. She had finally enjoyed a period of peace, only for this to happen. It seemed someone was truly tired of living.

If that was the case, she didn’t need to show them any mercy.

However, the selection of the spouse had to be held and finalized as soon as possible, or the aftermath would be too troublesome.

It wasn’t that Leng Xingxuan was being impatient. Even in its current state, ABO society still discriminated against Omegas and Betas, harboring deep-seated prejudices against these two gender groups. Most of those in power were still Alphas.

Omegas in power were almost non-existent. To hold power, one had to pay a massive price and possess an incredibly strong hand to control everything. Otherwise, being dragged down from a high position would result in being crushed to pieces.

Leng Xingxuan had grown up amidst such intrigue and deception, so she knew the stakes. Before she had differentiated into an Omega, her family members still feared her somewhat. Combined with her grandmother’s protection, she had managed to grow up smoothly.

However, after she differentiated into an Omega, their fear vanished. With her grandmother getting older and often lacking the strength to help, Leng had to rely mostly on herself to stand at the peak.

Years had passed, and she had done it; she had taken back what was hers. That being the case, she wouldn’t give it up now.

She knew her family would always be watching her marriage. They were already arranging a political marriage for her. As long as she married one of their chosen candidates, they would achieve their goal and gain leverage over her.

Since they hadn’t fully finalized their arrangements yet, she had to find a suitable partner herself to counter them.

Therefore, this “Selection of a Resident Spouse” plan had to be carried out in secret. Xingkong SOHO belonged entirely to her; it wasn’t difficult to pick a day and carry out the plan there. She wouldn’t do anything “untoward” to these candidates.

It would just involve basic interviews and contact.

She refused to believe she was repulsed by every Alpha. She would surely find one compatible with her constitution.

“I brought them.” Assistant He didn’t waste words, placing the suppressor Leng Xingxuan had recently used on the table. She asked, “President Leng, do you think there’s a problem with this batch of suppressors?”

Assistant He had followed her for a long time. Even if Leng Xingxuan said nothing, she could piece things together from last night’s events. Leng Xingxuan was always calm and self-disciplined; she would never release pheromones in a mixed, chaotic setting like that.

It was too dangerous and too frivolous—it didn’t fit her image or way of doing things at all.

So, she guessed something must have happened to make Leng Xingxuan act that way. And now, Leng Xingxuan was guessing it was likely due to the suppressors.

But Leng Xingxuan’s suppressors were always prepared by her trusted confidants and were kept strictly confidential. Nothing had ever gone wrong before. How did the opposition manage to frame her through the medication?

Assistant He fell into a temporary silence.

Leng Xingxuan weighed the suppressor in her hand, uncapped it, and sniffed. The scent was no different from usual, and the color was the same. It was truly impossible to tell at a glance.

Then again, her subordinates were so cautious; how could they have let a substandard product reach her? If they hadn’t noticed it first, it would have already been caught.

“Isn’t Du Jing usually the one who prepares my suppressors? Where is she?” Leng Xingxuan pondered, deciding to start the investigation close to home.

“She’s been on leave since yesterday. She said she had to go back to see her sick father,” Assistant He replied.

“I see…” Leng Xingxuan sensed something was wrong. She didn’t speak further but ordered: “Test this bottle of suppressor and see what the ingredients are. Let me know when the results are in.”

“Yes.” Assistant He complied and, sensing they were done here, began to pack up so they could leave together.

“Clean up carefully. Don’t leave any evidence for people to use against us,” Leng Xingxuan added. She still felt languid and was reluctant to move.

Assistant He was efficient and quickly tidied the room. Aside from the intimate scent and slightly messy furniture, everything seemed fine… Cough. But even that was enough to stimulate the imagination.

— What’s the meaning of this? Xing-Xing is still choosing a spouse and doesn’t want the Great Villain???

— In other words, the Villain is definitely getting ‘green-hatted’ (cheated on)???

— Wait, so the reason Xing-Xing acted so strange last night was because of the suppressor???

— No way, no way, no way…

— But that seems to be the case…

— Wait! Xing-Xing! There’s something shiny on the floor, go see what it is! Could it be the Villain’s? It’s the perfect excuse for their next meeting!

Leng Xingxuan curled her lips. She didn’t want to pay attention to the last comment, but she knew now wasn’t the time to be willful. She pretended to scan the floor and, sure enough, saw something glittering near the foot of the bed.

She had Assistant He pick it up. He looked at it and said, “President Leng, it’s a cinnabar ‘good luck’ string. Is it Miss Song’s?”

Assistant He guessed.

“Miss Song? You know her?” Leng Xingxuan asked nonchalantly as she took the worn-out, somewhat low-quality string and examined it in her hand.

“I did a background check on her…” Assistant He noticed a slight shift in Leng Xingxuan’s tone and lowered her voice.

“Are you interested in her?” Leng Xingxuan held the string up to her eyes, glancing at He with an unreadable expression.

“Cough. That Miss Song is the first Alpha able to get near you, and her background is clean, so… I paid a bit more attention,” Assistant He explained, bracing herself.

“He Wei, don’t try to be too clever,” Leng Xingxuan said enigmatically, flicking the cinnabar bead on the string before tucking it away.

“…” Assistant He didn’t dare speak further. Her boss was terrifying even when she wasn’t speaking.

…

Two days later, afternoon.

[Ranxue, remember Xingkong SOHO, 16th Floor, Room 1605? Don’t go to the wrong place.]

Song Ranxue had just stepped off the subway when she received the reminder from her senior, Lin Yuro. Her heart warmed, and she replied instantly: [Senior Yuro, I got it. I’ve arrived. I’ll contact you after the interview to take you out to dinner~]

She added a “wink” emoji.

She tucked her phone away and took a deep breath as she looked at the majestic, business-heavy SOHO building. She walked inside.

At the same time, in the underground parking lot of Xingkong SOHO, Leng Xingxuan stepped out of her car. She wore sunglasses, her body seemingly back to normal. Dressed in a sharp, tailored suit and surrounded by her entourage, she entered the elevator directly to the 16th floor.

— Yoshi! The day for selecting the spouse is finally here! It looks like there are over 100 Alphas prepared?! Xing-Xing is in for a treat!
