A Yandere Omega Abandoned Me After Getting Pregnant - Chapter 16

“What are you doing in here in broad daylight?!”

“Jin, we haven’t seen each other in a few days. You haven’t learned to keep a ‘hidden Alpha’ in your office, have you?!”

The office was empty except for Ye Xingran, Wei Xuejin, and a pink snake that seemed to be enjoying the drama. Ye Xingran, already feeling guilty, was startled by the voice. She pushed Wei Xuejin away almost instinctively, her heart pounding wildly.

This… this is too intense. Why is this happening?!

“Hidden? Where is there a hidden room? Why don’t you find one for me to try hiding someone in first?”

As Ye Xingran pushed her away, Wei Xuejin felt a sudden sense of emptiness. A wave of something akin to irritability surged within her, nearly pushing her past the point of control.

Gu Yun hadn’t lied; Wei Xuejin truly was unwell. Due to the prohibited drug, her pheromone levels were fluctuating erratically. When Gu Yun had gone to fetch Ye Xingran, the situation had been critical—Wei Xuejin was on the verge of entering a forced heat. However, she was exceptionally enduring; she had managed to find and take some old pheromone suppressants to maintain a fragile balance.

Later, her best friend—the one speaking to them now—had initiated a video call to discuss recent business matters. The distraction had successfully lowered her pheromone levels.

Her friend had briefly stepped away to verify some data, and Ye Xingran had arrived right at that moment. Wei Xuejin had completely forgotten the video call was still active.

Consequently, the voice Ye Xingran heard came from a tablet on the desk. A face full of fury was reflected on the screen. Ye Xingran locked eyes with her, her gaze holding a trace of provocation she hadn’t even noticed herself.

She asked the System: “Who is she?”

[Ding-ding-ding! Host! Your number one love rival, Gao Yiwen, has arrived!!!]

[She’s a female Beta and grew up with the Auntie. They’re childhood friends, business partners, the whole deal. If she weren’t a Beta, she probably would have proposed a political marriage to the Auntie long ago.]

Ye Xingran understood immediately, pulling some memories from the book’s plot. This Gao Yiwen had a crush on Wei Xuejin for years but never dared to confess. She used a playgirl persona to mask her feelings, racking up a long history of flings.

This coward likes the Auntie? Is she even worthy?

While the ABO gender settings in this world weren’t as rigid as the old tropes—prioritizing capability and power—it didn’t mean romance was completely free from gender expectations. For a Beta like Gao Yiwen to enter the family’s inner circle of power was already the limit. If she wanted to marry an Omega, she could, but that Omega would never be Wei Xuejin.

Wei Xuejin would never “marry down” to her. Furthermore, the records stated Wei Xuejin lived her whole life without a partner, making her the ultimate “maiden of the sword” archetype.

So, Gao Yiwen could only keep her love buried deep. Naturally, she was now projecting pure hostility onto Ye Xingran. She had never seen Wei Xuejin take the initiative to… well, embrace an Alpha.

And this Alpha… from her hair color to her style and personality, was the exact opposite of what Wei Xuejin was supposed to like. Why was she protecting her?

Could she really be charmed by this girl? No… impossible!

Gao Yiwen couldn’t accept losing to a “sweet-looking” Alpha who dressed like a rebel. In her mind, an Alpha that cute shouldn’t even be called an Alpha.

“Tch. Since you haven’t ‘hidden’ her, does that mean you don’t actually care much for this little Alpha? Just a fleeting whim?”

Gao Yiwen regained her composure, forcing a calm tone and a “joking” expression. She looked at Wei Xuejin but kept her eyes on Ye Xingran. Though she was smiling, Ye Xingran felt the mockery.

This was a blatant insult. Ye Xingran didn’t know Gao Yiwen, and she hadn’t officially committed to the Wei Xuejin route yet. But right now, it seemed Wei Xuejin needed her more. She smiled back at the screen, refusing to answer, letting the silence pressure Wei Xuejin to respond instead.

Wei Xuejin was socially stunted, but she felt the hostility. And her interest in Ye Xingran wasn’t a “whim.” She was fascinated by everything about her—especially the fluffy doll on her shoulder that mirrored her emotions.

And right now, that fluffy doll clearly disliked Gao Yiwen, despite its owner looking perfectly poised and indifferent.

“It’s not a whim, and it’s not a game. Don’t scare her—she’s very timid.” Wei Xuejin lightly took Ye Xingran’s hand and spoke to Gao Yiwen with total sincerity.

Gao Yiwen and Ye Xingran were both hit with a wall of mental question marks.

Gao Yiwen: …If this Alpha is ‘timid,’ I’ll cut off my head and let you sit on it like a stool!

Ye Xingran: …Do you have a misunderstanding of the word ‘timid’? I literally caught your poisonous snake with my bare hands!

Ring—ring—

Just as Ye Xingran was about to reclaim her dignity, her phone rang with that dreaded custom ringtone. She thought for a second and said to Wei Xuejin, “Sorry, I need to take this. You two keep chatting.”

“Talk in the outer room. Don’t go too far,” Wei Xuejin said. She wanted Ye Xingran to stay longer, fearing the “timid” Alpha might sneak away.

“Okay~ I’ll do whatever Sister Wei says~” Ye Xingran had originally planned to leave after the call.

But seeing Gao Yiwen’s disdainful look—as if she were a bothersome insect—made her annoyed. Regardless of Wei Xuejin’s true feelings, there was clearly some favor there. She didn’t mind milking it for some Love Points.

So, she intentionally gave Wei Xuejin a sweet, sugary smile. She angled her face perfectly toward Gao Yiwen, showing off her dimples.

Ye Xingran knew she was beautiful—not in a generic way, but in a “healing sweet-girl” way that was almost impossible to resist. Even if her actual personality was nothing like that.

Sure enough, Wei Xuejin froze for a moment, seemingly stunned by the smile. She blinked and then said, “I’ll wait for you to come back. Don’t get lost.”

She’s totally treating me like a child.

Ye Xingran felt a bit sulky. She was 20. Wei Xuejin wasn’t that much older. Being treated like a toddler was irritating. Keeping her eye on Gao Yiwen, she saw the woman’s face turning ashen with helpless rage. Ye Xingran smirked, then suddenly leaned in close to Wei Xuejin—almost touching her lips. From Gao Yiwen’s angle, it looked scandalous.

She didn’t look at Wei Xuejin, but she inhaled the Omega’s scent—like plum blossoms in the snow. She whispered softly, “Sister Wei, you better wait for me~”

It was just loud enough for Gao Yiwen to hear. It sounded like an intimate, spoiled plea. To someone whose love is unrequited, this was the ultimate trigger.

As Ye Xingran stepped out, Gao Yiwen’s furious scream erupted behind the closed door: “Jin! Where did this pink-haired Alpha come from?! Why do you even know someone like her!”

“Hahaha~ Indecent rage feels so good~” Ye Xingran laughed silently to herself as she closed the door.

[Host, you’re good! Truly high-level! That’s how you crush a rival! I’m recording this for future hosts!]

“Recording is fine. Just remember to pay me for the content.”

[…] So stingy! Truly stingy!

Ye Xingran found a quiet spot to answer. Her smile vanished instantly. It was her brother again—Ye Siyan. This was his third call. He was being remarkably patient today.

He must have something important.

She sighed and answered. She expected him to be as vile as before, but his tone was… actually much better?

“Hello? Ranran?” Ye Siyan’s voice was gentle, the kind that easily lowers one’s guard.

Ye Xingran was surprised, but she didn’t let him off the hook. “What do you want?”

“Ranran, today is your sister’s engagement party. Did you forget?” Ye Siyan wanted to get the news out. He knew his sister was being a “rebel,” so he lowered his tone.

“Isn’t it the day after tomorrow?” Ye Xingran didn’t live with the family; she got her news from the group chat. She remembered the date being later.

“The date was changed,” Ye Siyan rubbed his temple. “Did no one tell you?”

“You’re telling me now.” Her voice was flat.

“…You need to be there on time tonight. The address is still the Palace Hotel, the Eternal Harmony Hall.”

He didn’t scold her. He knew the family neglected her, and with the sudden date change and thousands of guests to invite, she had likely been overlooked. But she had to come tonight. There was something she needed to do.

“Come to the hotel early,” he continued. “Use your sister’s stylist. We’ll have a dress ready. You just need to show up.”

“Fine.” If he was going to be polite, she would cooperate. The conversation stalled, and she went to hang up.

“You’re 20 this year, right?” Ye Siyan asked suddenly.

“Yes.”

“You’ve grown up,” he sighed with an odd sentimentality.

Ye Xingran felt uncomfortable. “What are you trying to say?” She refused to call him “Brother.”

“Nothing. Just a reflection. My sister has finally grown up.” His voice held a trace of pity that made her skin crawl.

Before she could ask more, he hung up.

“System, what’s his deal?”

[I’m not sure. According to the original plot, you were supposed to spend the party as an invisible background character, get mocked once or twice, and that was it.]

The original host was actually quite accomplished—studying at the best language university in the city. Her future was bright. Aside from the family’s neglect, she was essentially flawless, barring her spending habits. At the party, she was meant to have a minor, safe interaction with the female lead via text and nothing more.

But with the party being moved forward… the plot was becoming unpredictable.

“I see…” Ye Xingran mused. “You’re pretty useless, aren’t you?”

[…] Being non-omniscient is a struggle.

It was nearly noon. She had spent a long time with the Auntie. Since her brother had been so “nice,” she had no reason not to go. It was a required plot point, after all.

She decided to say goodbye to Wei Xuejin and leave. But since she hadn’t reached her goal for the day, she wanted to test something.

[Host… are you about to do something terrifyingly bold??!] The System sounded excited.

“Tch. Is ‘marking my territory’ in front of a rival considered bold?”

[…Huh?] How?! Teach me your ways!

Knock—knock—

Ye Xingran poked her pink head back into the office. Wei Xuejin looked up immediately. “Come here.”

Ye Xingran didn’t hesitate. she returned to Wei Xuejin’s side, keeping her eyes on the screen where Gao Yiwen was watching. With a touch of theatrical affection, she said to Wei Xuejin:

“Sister Wei, I just got an important call and have to leave. Can I have a goodbye kiss? That one earlier… it was too short. I haven’t had enough yet.”

The System watched Gao Yiwen, who looked like she was about to spit blood: [Pro… truly a pro…]
