A Yandere Omega Abandoned Me After Getting Pregnant - Chapter 14

This question was a literal death trap, but the one being put on the spot wasn’t Ye Xingran. She was more than happy to just sit back and watch the show.

Still, the collective gaze of everyone in the room fixed on her was enough to make her scalp tingle.

Ye Xingran didn’t look toward Wei Xuejin. Instead, she looked at the classmate who was stirring up trouble. Having no memory of them, she asked the System: “What’s with that guy? Is he targeting me on purpose?”

After all, the original host was genuinely unlikable at times, likely offending people without even realizing it.

[That student is Yang Zihua, a male Alpha. He hasn’t had much intersection with you, and you haven’t technically offended him.]

“Uh, then why…?” Ye Xingran was puzzled.

[Oh please, Host, the focus shouldn’t be on him right now, but on the question he asked! Aren’t you curious how the Auntie will answer?!]

“Not curious,” Ye Xingran said coldly.

[…]

[Biu-biu-biu! Congratulations, Host! Love Points from Wei Yunzhu +0.5!]

While everyone awaited Wei Xuejin’s answer, a notification suddenly rang in Ye Xingran’s head—more Love Points from the female lead.

Ye Xingran: “…” Scum System, are you absolutely sure you aren’t broken and in need of a factory repair?

“Student Yang, your question is inappropriate—”

“It is true that I like her. I don’t even mind being the pursuer to make her like me as soon as possible.”

Wei Yunzhu, knowing the question was difficult and not wanting her aunt to answer such nonsense, had stepped forward to block it. But before she could finish her sentence, Wei Xuejin interrupted her. She spoke in a level tone, seemingly unaware of the absolute bombshell she had just dropped!

“My god… did she just throw a total fast-ball???”

“Is ‘her’ referring to Ye Xingran??!”

“Impossible! No way! They don’t look like a match at all!”

“Yeah! Absolutely impossible!”

…

As soon as Wei Xuejin spoke, the interns in the room began whispering in small groups, unable to believe their ears.

Ye Xingran frowned slightly and looked at her, wanting to walk over and say something. However, Wei Xuejin walked straight toward her and stopped in front of her, expressionless. “Did you like the breakfast?”

Her tone actually held a hint or two of tenderness.

Ye Xingran felt like she was seeing a ghost in broad daylight if she could actually detect tenderness in that emotionless voice.

“If I said I didn’t, would you get me a new one?” she said provocatively. But paired with her harmless-looking face, the effect was… making one want to reach out and pinch her cheeks.

In fact, Wei Xuejin noticed that Ye Xingran had very cute dimples. She felt a sudden urge to poke them. She wondered if pouring a little wine into those dimples would make the drink taste even sweeter.

“I could,” Wei Xuejin nodded, then looked confused. “But you explicitly stated in your agreement that you liked meatball porridge with small wontons for breakfast. Have your tastes changed?”

“…When did I say that? I don’t even know.”

“It’s written in the agreement you gave me.”

“…Don’t tell me you memorized the whole thing.”

“If you want to be a ‘kept woman,’ I should at least show some sincerity, shouldn’t I?” Wei Xuejin said, unable to resist reaching out to smooth down the cowlick on the girl’s head. She felt her mood brightening. “Don’t worry about me. I have a good memory; it didn’t take long to memorize it.”

Ye Xingran: “…” Who’s worried about how long it took you!

And wait… who said I was going to continue being a kept woman? She couldn’t afford this “soft rice” at all!

Ye Xingran was fuming. On her shoulder, the fluffy doll mirrored her, acting out the motion of throwing things and stomping on the ground to show its displeasure. Wei Xuejin watched with curiosity, sensing a faint echo of that indignation.

…The little Alpha was unhappy again.

“Do you need me to kiss you to make you feel better?” Wei Xuejin asked. She didn’t know the cause of the unhappiness, so she relied on her own logic.

The method Shen Qianyi taught her didn’t seem to be working.

“…NO!” Ye Xingran hadn’t expected her to say that. She instinctively covered her mouth and stared at her with wide, doe-like eyes.

[Biu-biu-biu! Congratulations, Host! Wei Xuejin Love Points +5!]

Ye Xingran: “…” Help. Is the female lead’s aunt really a short-lived mogul with a weird fetish? Does she get ‘moved’ just by being glared at?! Is she a masochist?!!!

[Ahhhhh, Host! Are you really not going to consider making the Auntie your target? She is… so! easy! to! woo! She’s so cute!]

“…Where exactly do you see ‘cute’ in her?”

[Anyone who gives you Love Points to stay alive is a cutie~]

Ye Xingran rubbed her temples and sighed. Her morning grumpiness had dissipated quite a bit. She felt there was no need to be so antagonistic toward a background boss. After all, survival was the priority.

However, as for officially selecting Wei Xuejin as her target… she didn’t want to decide just yet.

Because, although Wei Xuejin lowered her guard and prepared breakfast, it didn’t mean she was an easy person to get along with. On the contrary, she felt increasingly unfathomable. Why did she generate so many Love Points? What was her goal in getting close? All of this needed to be understood.

Yesterday, when she first saw her, the woman’s attitude was completely different. An Omega who could instantly render an Alpha defenseless was… surprising. And humiliating.

If she decided to conquer her this time, she had to be cautious. No more recklessness.

“President Wei, it’s almost time for the meeting. They’re waiting in the conference room.” During their standoff, Gu Yun had to nerve herself to step in and remind her boss. Internally, she was thinking that her boss had truly taken a liking to this little Alpha. Giving away her favorite wood carving… she must be smitten. She just wondered if the Alpha would appreciate the gesture.

“Okay.” Wei Xuejin’s schedule was precise to the minute; she hated unexpected interruptions. Even though she wanted to stay longer, she restrained herself and turned to leave.

After a few steps, she seemed to remember something and turned back, raising her gaze slightly to meet Ye Xingran’s eyes. “Did you see the wood carving?”

“…I saw it.”

“Is ‘Pinky’ cute?”

“…Cute.”

“Mhm. I think it’s as cute as you are,” Wei Xuejin said. Her lips seemed to twitch upward, but it happened too fast to be sure. “If you didn’t sleep well, you can smell it. It’s carved from Kynam (agarwood). it’s soothing and smells quite nice.”

“…Did you really carve it yourself?”

“Hm?” She raised her voice in a questioning lilt, then confirmed, “Yes. I carved it recently.”

She added, “I was afraid it might die, so I carved it quickly.”

“???”

“System… what is she talking about? ‘Die’? That’s a cobra! How could it die that easily?”

[Uh, Host, it’s no fun if everything is spoiled for you~ You have to explore the Auntie’s secrets yourself!]

“…Stingy.”

[Hmph~]

“Well, see you later?” Wei Xuejin said, awkwardly using the phrase and forcing a tiny smile.

The attempt at friendliness failed miserably, sending a slight chill down Ye Xingran’s spine. Wei Xuejin looked at the “big and small” pair (Ye and the doll) one last time, then turned and left. She immediately reverted to her cold, unapproachable self, her aura so sharp no one dared to act up.

Wei Xuejin left quickly, but the waiting room could no longer stay quiet. Whispers broke out everywhere, everyone pointing at Ye Xingran. They were baffled as to how this normally idle Alpha, who spent her time harassing others, had gained Wei Xuejin’s favor.

“I say, Ye Xingran, how did you pluck the ‘Untouchable Flower’ President Wei? Share some tips with us so I can get a sugar mommy too,” Yang Zihua said loudly. His tone was full of disdain and malice, as if implying she had done something shameful.

“Want to know? Why don’t you come closer and I’ll tell you in a whisper?” Ye Xingran said. She seemed to ignore the malice, looking at him with a slight smile.

Her smile didn’t seem threatening—dimples even appeared on her cheeks—making her look innocent and sweet for an Alpha. But to Yang Zihua, it sent a cold shiver down his spine. He froze.

“What? My experience is easy to learn. Aren’t you going to listen? Miss this chance and there won’t be another,” she challenged.

“You… did you use those ‘tips’ to steal Xiao Wan’s spot! This position should have belonged to her!” Yang Zihua finally snapped, revealing what had been bothering him.

Ye Xingran raised an eyebrow and asked the System: “So I’m being targeted because he thinks I stole ‘Xiao Wan’s’ spot?”

[Yes. Xiao Wan’s full name is Zhao Xiaowan, an Omega from your department. Yang Zihua has a crush on her.]

“Oh, I see. Sacrificing himself for love. Got it.”

[Erm… Host, your eyes are darting around. You’re thinking of something bad! Stop it!]

“Tch. How is it ‘bad’ for me to play matchmaker so these two can be together—outside of this internship, since they’ll both be cut? I love doing good deeds.”

[…] I don’t believe a word of it!

However, while she spoke like that, she didn’t actually do anything outrageous. She finished her breakfast and, following Wei Xuejin’s suggestion, held the wood carving to her nose. The fresh, natural scent of Kynam was indeed comforting. In the real world, Kynam was legendary agarwood, so rare it commanded astronomical prices; a piece this size could sell for tens of thousands.

She didn’t know the economy of this world, but a background mogul like Wei Xuejin wouldn’t use low-quality wood. The woody scent cleared the last of her morning grumpiness.

And… was it her imagination? She seemed to catch a faint trace of Omega pheromones lingering on the carving, reminding her of her dream. In the dream, Wei Xuejin didn’t just chase her with points; every time a point was added, the woman would kiss her—first her face, then her body, until she had been kissed nearly everywhere. It was infuriating!

How was she the one being “counter-attacked” even in her dreams? It was so unrealistic! She wasn’t having it.

However, she soon had no time to be awkward. Today wasn’t for formal entry; it was the final screening. Two out of the ten people would be eliminated.

Ye Xingran wasn’t afraid of the test. She found that the “minor language” the original host studied was remarkably similar to the Russian she had learned in her past life. Her Russian was excellent, so the test was a breeze.

Still, she didn’t want Yang Zihua to stay. He was a nuisance. She decided to go all out and rank high, hoping to push him out of the running.

She immersed herself in the test. An hour and a half later, she finished. Glancing sideways, she saw Wei Xuejin’s assistant, Gu Yun, standing by the back door. The woman looked at her with an urgent, pleading expression.

Ye Xingran’s heart sank: something must have happened to Wei Xuejin.

However—

[Biu-biu-biu! Congratulations, Host! Wei Xuejin Love Points +10!]

Ye Xingran: …@~~@ ???
