A No-CP Female Lead is Pregnant with the Uxorilocal Alpha’s Cub - Chapter 9
— Oh ho!
— Hahahaha, don’t let Xing-Xing’s abstinent look fool you; she’s actually a low-key perv!
— Bite! Bite her! Let the Great Villain bite her!
— The person above, you’re even more out of line than Xing-Xing!
With Leng Xingxuan’s move, the entire bullet-chat system erupted. A massive wave of wild comments poured in for free, making Leng Xingxuan feel a bit lightheaded.
Dizzy, her vision of Song Ranxue blurred slightly. She had originally intended to retract her fingertips, but her hand trembled again, leading to an even more embarrassing accident. Her finger almost pried past the Alpha’s teeth to touch something deeper…
Leng Xingxuan’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately yanked her hand back, her fingertips tingling with an intense, uncomfortable sensation. That feeling from the other night—of her pheromones trembling helplessly while she was at someone else’s mercy—resurfaced. In that instant, she snapped back to reality, and the plan to eliminate Song Ranxue flickered in her mind once more.
She had already sensed that this seemingly unremarkable Alpha was dangerous. If she didn’t take action, she didn’t know what might happen. Things could spiral out of her control, and her current plans could be ruined.
She would never allow that.
“Miss… what exactly are you trying to do?” Song Ranxue had also recovered from her initial shock. Her tone was complicated, and the tear mole under her eye was partially visible beneath the ribbon—mysterious and beautiful. “I am a decent person here for a decent interview. Please don’t add extra subplots for me.”
Leng Xingxuan: “…”
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you have a guilty conscience or something?” Song Ranxue was actually quite startled. She had never been treated like this before or after transmigrating. What was wrong with this person? Were they taking advantage of her blindness to treat her this way?
Or… was this really some bizarre selection process? Had she and her senior both been deceived?
The latter thought made Song Ranxue slightly afraid. She cursed herself for being too confident. Now that her “enemy” was in the light while she was in the dark, she shouldn’t have been so careless.
Song Ranxue couldn’t care less anymore and reached up to remove the ribbon. However, as soon as her hand moved, the person in front of her pressed it down. The grip wasn’t heavy, but it was indisputable.
Song Ranxue tilted her head back slightly, her red lips pursed in a shimmering pout.
The room wasn’t pitch black. Strands of light peeked through the heavy curtains, playfully landing on her face like spotlighting. It bathed her features in a soft glow, making her alluring lip line look even more tempting. Even the bright red tear mole, mostly hidden by the ribbon, seemed to break free from its restraint, looking seductive and enticing.
Leng Xingxuan was nearly bewitched by this perfect face. As if possessed, she leaned in again until their noses almost touched. The sound of their beating hearts was clearly audible to both.
Song Ranxue’s lips moved as if she wanted to speak, but the person before her was faster. Warm fingertips pressed against her lips again, slowly tracing the lip line. The touch brought a prickle of electricity and a heart-stopping thrill, causing Song Ranxue’s heart to leap.
— AAAAAAHHH I can’t take it! Heart explosion!!!!
— Kiss! Just kiss her already!
— Xing-Xing, stop playing around with these teases! The Villain can’t feel your love like this!
— Watching other people sit here feels like nothing, but when Xue-Xue sits here, it’s truly different.
— Who is Xue-Xue?
— The Great Villain’s name is Song Ranxue!!!!
— Oh~ What a special name, as expected of a villain~
Leng Xingxuan: “…” What kind of lame jokes are these?
Hiss—
While lost in thought, Leng Xingxuan felt a sharp pain in her finger. The fingertip she had pressed against Song Ranxue’s lips was suddenly bitten. The force wasn’t great—like a small beast testing its prey—which only made her want to bully her more.
Leng Xingxuan’s eyes darkened. She withdrew her finger but then pressed down hard on the Alpha’s lower lip, squishing the lip pearl out of shape. Song’s handsome brows furrowed slightly, and she reached up again, trying to untie the ribbon.
“Don’t.” Leng Xingxuan finally spoke two words, though she deliberately lowered her voice to make it harder to recognize.
Song Ranxue tilted her head, her ear twitching. She clearly found the voice familiar but couldn’t place it in the moment.
“Why do I have to wear a ribbon and cover my eyes?” Song Ranxue stopped her hand and asked.
“Why did you come here?” Leng Xingxuan didn’t answer directly, asking her instead.
“Because I need the money.”
The answer was honest, which caught Leng Xingxuan off guard.
“How far would you go for money?” She wanted to know how far an Alpha—especially a villainous one like Song Ranxue who seemed to have principles—would go for a payday.
In ABO society, despite the talk of gender equality, the chasm between genders was often unbridgeable. To become a “resident” spouse for an Omega? For many Alphas, that was impossible. Even for a low-ranked Alpha, the natural cognitive bias of “Valuing Alphas, Despising Omegas, and Scorning Betas” had existed since ancient times.
She didn’t believe Song Ranxue would be entirely indifferent, especially since she was an idol who cared about her image.
“Naturally, I’ll do whatever your side requires. I will do my best to satisfy you.”
— !!!! How can the Great Villain be so good at this?!
— I smell a trap…
— Ugh, those words sound so suggestive, I love it (heavy breathing).
— What are you waiting for, Xing-Xing? Push her down! Alpha up!
Leng Xingxuan hadn’t expected Song Ranxue to be so flexible—willing to do anything for money, even “satisfying her to her best ability.” She swallowed slightly, her finger grazing the tear mole as she leaned in closer. Her voice was cold, almost enchanting: “Tell me, who sent you here?”
She didn’t believe her lies. Ever since she learned of the Alpha’s identity, she had maintained a deep wariness. She hadn’t expected to see her here today, but regardless, she had to figure out her motive.
Since the greatest villain in the book was apparently someone who could be bought, and since Leng was immune to her touch, she didn’t mind seeing who was behind her. If possible, she would simply buy her off with a large sum. After all, she just needed a child; the child’s other mother was optional.
“My school senior introduced me. But what does all this… have to do with an audition?” Song Ranxue truly didn’t understand. Was this client really so strict and “shady”? Not only did she have to pass an invasive medical check, but she also had to talk while blindfolded?
It was incredibly suspicious. Did this client have some weird fetish for tormenting people?
“Did you not read the confidentiality terms before you came?” Leng Xingxuan frowned, sounding displeased.
If she could, she would have selected a temporary partner openly. But her family was still watching her like hawks; every word and action was monitored. She had even come here today in secret. How could she act entirely on her own will?
For safety, she made everyone sign NDAs—one before coming, and another before meeting her. She would only explain the true nature of the plan once she was certain she wanted the person, to avoid leaking her strategy.
So, Song Ranxue’s question was strange to her. Although she was choosing a resident spouse, it didn’t mean she would just pick anyone to have a child with. The conditions had to be met, and they couldn’t have any strange illnesses; otherwise, the plan would fail before the child was even conceived.
“I read them, but I’ve never heard of a job where you have to be blindfolded to meet the client.” Song Ranxue expressed her dissatisfaction, her lips pursed in annoyance.
“For the money, you can endure it.”
“…”
Seeing her look so frustrated and speechless, Leng Xingxuan’s mood improved slightly. She had seen so many people today, yet none met her requirements. In the end… was this Alpha the only one she didn’t repulse?
Leng Xingxuan unconsciously tapped Song’s moist lips, thinking about the next step. The selection couldn’t be delayed any further. She had to finalize a candidate and move the plan forward before complications arose.
Song Ranxue actually met her requirements in every way, except for her… sensitive identity. But if the entire transaction was conducted with the Alpha blindfolded so she didn’t know Leng’s identity… she felt it was acceptable.
The deal would only last a month or two anyway. If she didn’t get pregnant within that time, it would just mean the Alpha was “incapable,” and she would move on. Since Song wouldn’t know who she was, Leng wouldn’t have to make things difficult for her; she would just provide ample financial compensation. Either way, Song Ranxue wouldn’t lose out.
Leng Xingxuan’s mind whirred as she refined the plan. The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. All she needed was Song Ranxue’s nod.
She glanced at her and said, “I have decided on the candidate for this cooperation. It’s you.”
Song Ranxue straightened her back, clearly surprised but mostly delighted.
Leng Xingxuan didn’t like that look of joy, but then again… if the interaction was pleasant, it might increase the chances of conception. It wasn’t a bad thing.
She continued, “See when you can sign the contract and what’s the earliest you can start work.”
“Right now! I can start as soon as the contract is signed!” Song Ranxue was genuinely thrilled. Her smile widened significantly.
Leng Xingxuan, however, was not thrilled. She felt a faint pang of regret: Is she really that eager?
Meanwhile, the Gossip Bullet-Chat system was flooded with:
— Oh oh oh! So you’re that kind of pervy Great Villain! (Ecstasy) (Anticipation)
