A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 8

The sixteenth floor of Xingkong SOHO.

Song Ranxue arrived at the agreed location one step earlier than Leng Xingxuan.

This was one of the most expensive, land-is-worth-gold places in the entire imperial capital. Naturally, it was her first time coming here. In her memory, it was also the original owner’s first time here, so she was not very familiar with the place. She had even spent quite a bit of effort before finding the real agreed location. It truly had not been easy.

The moment she arrived on the sixteenth floor, she saw that more than a dozen people were already waiting outside the room. Song Ranxue was not surprised. After all, her senior had told her before that the opportunity she recommended this time was not for a small magazine agency, but a fairly large one. It was perfectly normal for there to be backup candidates. She only needed to prepare her résumé and go for the interview.

So Song Ranxue did not say anything.

It was just that she kept feeling… the place this magazine agency had chosen for the interview was truly a little too remote… almost to the point of being cut off from the world. Once one entered, it did not seem easy to leave again.

Moreover, she also discovered that everyone who entered the room for the interview never came back out. When she asked the person in charge of the interview, she learned that after each candidate finished the interview, they left through another door in the room, so that too many people would not pile up here.

Understood.

The moment Song Ranxue heard the other party say this, she understood… This was to keep the interview content confidential. Before transmigrating into the book, she had also encountered this kind of thing before, so she was similarly used to it.

However, what exceeded her expectations was that before truly entering the interview room and seeing the interviewers, she actually had to undergo all sorts of physical examinations…? And the requirements were extremely strict. Anyone shorter than 1.75 meters was rejected. Anyone too fat was rejected. Anyone too thin was also rejected. Anyone who was not an Alpha was rejected, and anyone whose rank was too low was likewise rejected.

They even had to do that kind of examination.

Song Ranxue’s barefoot height was nearly 1.8 meters, making her one of the standouts among Alphas. Her weight was around sixty-two kilograms, on the slim side. The staff member measuring everyone’s height and weight was extremely picky toward every person, but when she saw Song Ranxue, aside from the pickiness, a trace of amazement appeared in her eyes. She even stamped Song Ranxue’s name, making Song Ranxue feel somewhat strange for some reason.

Their gazes really did not look like they were choosing a model… but choosing concubines?

However, when they asked about her rank and heard her say that she did not really have much of a rank, regret still appeared on the staff member’s face. She drew a line over the stamp, and Song Ranxue had no idea what that meant.

Song Ranxue truly did not understand why shooting a set of magazine photos had anything to do with rank. If she had not repeatedly confirmed that she had not gone to the wrong set, and that this was indeed an interview for a modeling shoot, she would have already left in the face of such a strange and troublesome interview process.

“Ah, what a pity. Her looks and figure are clearly top-tier, but this rank… How could she give birth to…”

“Stop talking. Have you forgotten that our work has to remain confidential? What are you saying?”

…

Give… birth to… what?

The more Song Ranxue thought about it, the stranger it felt. The more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. She sent Lin Yurou another message to confirm whether this was the correct address. The other party quickly replied that this was indeed the correct address. Only then did Song Ranxue relax slightly, hinting to herself not to overthink it as she took the medical examination form in her hand and went to the next room.

But… what exceeded her expectations even more this time was that this room was actually checking whether she had those kinds of illnesses. The doctor was also extremely professional. While drawing her blood, she even asked whether Song Ranxue had any experience with that kind of related lifestyle. Not only that, she also made Song Ranxue undergo the corresponding tests to check whether she had any abnormal diseases.

Song Ranxue: …………………………??? Help. Was she really here to apply for a magazine modeling shoot? How had they almost dug out eighteen generations of her ancestors?

Had she really not walked onto the wrong set?

The more Song Ranxue thought about it, the more wrong it felt. She felt that her privacy had been seriously violated. Whether she had ever had a partner, whether she had ever done anything with anyone—was that something this so-called client had the right to ask about? It was simply unbelievable.

“Sorry, I’m not applying anymore.” When the doctor asked her to proceed to the next step of the examination, Song Ranxue truly could not endure it anymore. She refused directly, clearly unwilling to continue.

“Is your body not fit to be seen? Or did you not read the contents of the agreement clearly?” The doctor seemed to be encountering a candidate like Song Ranxue for the first time and asked in some surprise.

“The agreement didn’t mention any of this at all.” Song Ranxue recalled the contents of the agreement Lin Yurou had shown her before she came. It absolutely did not say they would need to check this much, much less ask so many private questions.

“Oh, it was added temporarily. A surprise inspection.”

“…”

“But the compensation we’re giving you has also increased to three times more than before. Even if you aren’t chosen, you’ll still receive triple the pay.” The doctor seemed very unable to understand. “Do you think the money is too much?”

Song Ranxue: “…” This was not a matter of more or less money. This involved dignity and privacy!

Song Ranxue’s face turned cold. She was already very unhappy inside. No matter what, before transmigrating into the book, she had been a hugely popular idol. She had also shot similar modeling magazines before, and she had truly never encountered a situation like this. It was simply speechless and unreasonable.

“I’m not—”

“Tsk. Your blood report is out. You’re very clean. There’s no need to continue checking further. You can go into the final examination room now.”

Song Ranxue: “…” A breath caught in her throat, and she did not know whether she should get angry or not.

Song Ranxue sighed and tried her best to calm herself down. She took the medical examination form and walked out. She had finally reached the last room. In her heart, she wondered whether more nonsense would be waiting for her, but for the sake of money, she could only endure.

And after entering the room, she also had to sign a confidentiality agreement, confirming that she could not leak anything she saw or heard today. Otherwise, she might face enormous compensation.

…That strange feeling came again. But when Song Ranxue saw the amount of apology money written on the confidentiality agreement, she spinelessly signed her name.

She had already reached the last step. Surely they would not sell her off, right? Besides, she was now an Alpha. If she really encountered any danger, could she not handle the people here?

Song Ranxue tried her best to reassure herself. After signing the agreement, she finally went inside.

The room was arranged to be extremely dim, almost to the point that nothing could be seen clearly. But before she had taken even a few steps, a staff member guided her to sit on a high stool and even covered her eyes with a satin ribbon.

Song Ranxue: ……………… Someone who did not know better might think I came here to audition for the role of a blind person.

But since matters had already reached this point, it seemed that being fussy would not be of much use. So even though she felt strange inside, she still sat quietly on the high stool, one foot supporting her, the other resting on the rung of the stool. Her posture could still be considered relaxed.

The staff member tying the satin ribbon for her was a female Beta. Seeing Song Ranxue’s calm appearance, she inwardly praised her. Today, she had seen at least seventy or eighty Alphas, both men and women. But in terms of looks, temperament, appearance, and every other aspect, Song Ranxue seemed to best match her boss’s requirements.

She just did not know whether the boss would like her.

“Don’t be nervous. Our boss is very good. If she takes a fancy to you, she’ll definitely give you a proper status.” After helping her tie the ribbon, this staff member seemed to truly have a favorable impression of her and could not resist reminding her softly beside her ear.

Song Ranxue: “?”

Her eyes had already been completely covered, and she could not see anything at all. In this kind of situation, her other four senses became increasingly sharp, making her even more vigilant. At the slightest disturbance, she would definitely immediately pull off the ribbon before her eyes and see clearly what sort of monsters and ghosts were being stirred up in here.

…

“Tap—tap—tap—”

In the silent room, high heels sounded in the darkness, coming closer little by little from far to near. Song Ranxue also grew slightly tense, but she still sat unmoving, as if she wanted to see what the other party would do next.

—Whoa… Isn’t that the great villain?! Don’t think we won’t recognize her just because she’s wearing a ribbon over her eyes!

—Oh my god, and you still say the great villain has no interest in Xingxing?

—Wuwu, so sweet~ In order to get close to Xingxing, she actually lowered herself to come choose a wife who’ll marry in among so many people. Too sweet~

—She looks very calm. Did she already know Xingxing’s plan today, or…?

—If that’s the case, shouldn’t Xingxing be careful? Otherwise, she’ll be eaten up completely by the great villain later…

—Also, could the great villain have come today to ruin Xingxing’s plan?

…

The person approaching Song Ranxue was none other than Leng Corporation’s CEO, Leng Xingxuan. Today, she was indeed here to choose a wife who would marry into her family, so naturally, the matter had to be carried out in secret.

Before this, she had already screened two hundred candidates down to one hundred, then carried out an in-person screening. By the final stage, only thirty or forty fully met her requirements. Just that alone was honestly already quite exhausting.

Naturally, she had also reviewed the candidates she was to meet today in advance, and she did not remember Song Ranxue being among them…

So was it truly as the bullet comments said? Had Song Ranxue come here today to take revenge on her? Or had she cooperated with someone to ruin Leng Xingxuan’s wife-selection plan?

The more Leng Xingxuan thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Leaving aside for the moment why Song Ranxue had appeared here at all, Leng Xingxuan was carrying out this wife-selection plan in secret. Outwardly, it was announced as casting for a film, but in reality, it was to choose a suitable candidate.

With Song Ranxue’s connections and channels, there was no way she could have found her way here. There was a real chance she had joined forces with someone else to take revenge on Leng Xingxuan. She could not let down her guard.

However, she stared for a while at the Alpha’s slightly pressed lips, and very inappropriately, she once again thought of that fierce kiss from that night. The corner of her mouth, which had long since healed, faintly stung again.

Not to mention, Song Ranxue had also slapped her butt. This grudge could not be tolerated either.

In any case, since Song Ranxue could not see her now and looked as if she were at someone else’s mercy, why shouldn’t Leng Xingxuan play with her properly and satisfy her desire for revenge?

Thinking this, Leng Xingxuan was in no hurry to lay her cards on the table with Song Ranxue. Right now, she wanted to see exactly why Song Ranxue had come here.

“Miss, you’ve been standing in front of me and staring at me for almost two minutes now. Don’t tell me you’ve been charmed by me?” Their breaths could almost be heard between them. Although Song Ranxue was blindfolded, she still sat calmly on the high stool, smiling without warmth as she spoke in Leng Xingxuan’s direction.

This attitude of hers… was truly a little arrogant and… deserving of a beating.

Leng Xingxuan said nothing. Instead, she moved a few steps closer, only stopping when there was just one step between them. She could even smell the Alpha’s pheromones, still that rich and refreshing scent like a forest after rain, inexplicably intoxicating.

As if possessed, she reached out with her fingertip and touched Song Ranxue’s face. Just like the first time, the moment she touched Song Ranxue, there was no uncomfortable reaction at all, as if her haphephobia could be cured in front of this person. It truly puzzled her.

—Ahhh, it’s just touching her face. Can you not make it so sexy?!

—Slurp, slurp. This lighting, this atmosphere, these looks, this tension… Wuwuwu, why is it so seductive?!

—Xingxing, Xingxing, look at me! Aren’t you going to take the chance to do some rope and bondage stuff?! This is an absolutely perfect opportunity for revenge, okay!

…

Leng Xingxuan was already somewhat distracted. In her heart, she was still thinking about how her body actually did not reject Song Ranxue. Then, caught off guard, she saw the last bullet comment drift past above her head. Her hand trembled, and she accidentally pressed against Song Ranxue’s bright red, soft lips.

Both of them froze.
