A Yandere Omega Abandoned Me After Getting Pregnant - Chapter 30.1
…How could someone standing there perfectly fine suddenly be in danger or have an accident?
This was the first thought in Ye Xingran’s mind, but she didn’t dare lower her guard and immediately turned her head to look. She saw Wei Xuejin still standing perfectly fine under the shade of the tree, with one of her special assistants dutifully accompanying her.
However, at some point, a female Alpha had appeared beside her, standing with her head slightly lowered, talking to her aunt.
How should she describe this feeling?
That female Alpha was about the same age as her, but her style of dress was even more unconventional than hers—covered in brand names, yet all of them were haute couture.
She was wearing something like the Regency-style knee-length dress from her previous life—a very gorgeous and elaborate style. A sense of nobility hit her square in the face, making it obvious at a glance that she had been pampered and raised in luxury.
She was truly worlds apart from a “country bumpkin” like Ye Xingran, who was naturally raised and self-sufficient.
The female Alpha probably sensed her gaze, as she shifted her eyes from Wei Xuejin and deigned to spare half a look toward her. There was even a smile on her face, yet the arrogance and disdain in the depths of her eyes were seen clearly by Ye Xingran.
It was truly… undisguised.
“System, so where is the danger? How am I supposed to save the Auntie?” Ye Xingran asked in confusion, not acting rashly in the face of the female Alpha’s provocation.
On the contrary, Wei Xuejin also followed the female Alpha’s line of sight and looked over. Those inorganic, glass-like eyes stared at her motionlessly, seemingly carrying a hint of a smile.
It was unclear whether that smile was for the female Alpha in front of her or for Ye Xingran.
However, Ye Xingran didn’t mind. She simply returned a smile, looking like a picture of serene peace.
[Wow, Host, you really have a good temper. The love rival has literally stepped up to the door, and you’re still in the mood to smile?] The system was puzzled. If it were in her place, it would probably use Alpha methods to deal with the opponent—no one should even think about stealing the person it had set its sights on.
“You haven’t answered me yet. What kind of danger did the ‘Auntie is in danger’ broadcast just now refer to?”
[…Does the appearance of a love rival not count as a danger?]
“…” So that’s what the pink-black warning meant?
Ye Xingran didn’t want to speak. Seeing how hesitant the System’s tone was even while talking, she decided she wouldn’t believe it next time.
[Host, you might think I’m making a mountain out of a molehill, but this female Alpha is truly a formidable rival for you. Her name is Ye Mian’an. She is the niece of Ye Yurann, one of the Auntie’s capable vice presidents—or rather, a friendly business partner. She is also the niece Ye Yurann dotes on the most. She has been familiar with the Auntie since childhood. She is 21 this year, one year older than you, and was pampered as she grew up by the Ye family.]
[She actually knows the Auntie likes artistic things, so she has been studying them since she was young. She also participated in Xu Guannan’s lecture this time, with the goal of becoming his personal disciple to enter the art world later. She can be considered a strong rival for you.]
[Furthermore, she has a secret crush on the Auntie, and your appearance has made her feel an even greater sense of crisis.]
“So?”
[So what! If she has a sense of crisis, you need to have one too! The official conquest target you are bound to is the Auntie! The Auntie! This female supporting character likes your aunt just like you do! This cannot be endured!]
“If I can’t endure it, should I rush up and start a fight? And then make things difficult for the Auntie?” Ye Xingran had already retracted her gaze from Wei Xuejin’s side and continued packing her things to go about her own business, seemingly not taking the other party to heart at all.
[Of course, don’t be so impulsive as to rush up and fight. At least drag her to a place where no one is around, put a sack over her head to hide your identity, and then fight.] The system was still quite rational.
“Okay, I’ll arrange it for tonight.” Ye Xingran said almost without thinking.
[…Host, are you serious?]
“Yeah, didn’t you suggest it? Of course I should listen.”
In the gap of her conversation with it, she had already packed everything. Gu Yun had actually been accompanying her the whole time, worried she might be uncomfortable with something. Seeing that she had finished packing and had just seen Wei Xuejin chatting happily with the other person, Gu Yun didn’t know how she felt, so she asked tentatively: “Miss Ye, actually, you don’t need to mind the presence of that Miss Ye.”
“Hmm?” The expression on Ye Xingran’s face didn’t change; there was even a smile hanging on the corners of her lips. However, in Gu Yun’s eyes, it was inexplicably hair-raising.
…It’s okay not to smile if you don’t want to, waah.
But she steeled herself to continue: “President Wei doesn’t like those who are much younger than her.”
“Oh, then how old is that Miss Ye?” Ye Xingran asked.
“…21.” As soon as the words left her mouth, Gu Yun immediately realized something, and her expression changed slightly: “But, you are the exception.”
She… was so anxious that she became confused. Why did she suddenly… suddenly say those words? Ye Xingran was even a year younger than Ye Mian’an. This… didn’t this imply that President Wei would dislike her even more?
“Actually, no one is anyone’s exception. It doesn’t matter. President Wei’s luck is for the future… as for thinking about things like a ‘lifetime,’ isn’t it better to live in the moment and enjoy life?
Thinking too much would only make one very tired and was completely unnecessary.
“Actually, President Wei once rejected Miss Ye Mian’an’s elaborate confession, so there’s really no need to be too worried or pessimistic.”
“Oh? There was such a thing?” As soon as Ye Xingran heard there was gossip, her eyes immediately lit up. She looked at Gu Yun with a “bling-bling” gaze, seemingly wanting her to say a bit more.
Gu Yun felt quite uncomfortable being stared at with such intensity, but she also wanted to look back a few more times. Not for anything else, but for…
Who wouldn’t want to be gazed at by eyes like jewels? She actually wanted to; looking at them made her mood a bit better.
Not to mention Ye Xingran’s painting skills were very vivid; watching her paint was a form of enjoyment.
She was like a creator, capable of making things people loved.
“…If Miss Ye really wants to know about this, it’s better to ask President Wei personally. I cannot overstep any further.” Gu Yun struggled to look away, trying her best not to meet Ye Xingran’s eyes, feeling that if she looked one more time, she would be enchanted by her.
And then she would spill everything, which would violate her principles.
“Fine.” Ye Xingran didn’t force her. There were ten thousand ways to hear gossip if she wanted to.
As they spoke, they had already reached the side of Wei Xuejin and Ye Mian’an.
The female Alpha looked like she had no intention of leaving, as if she were about to declare war on Ye Xingran.
Ye Xingran: “…” She was so tired. Could she please just go and play with the Auntie to cultivate their feelings first?
[No way, no way! Host, you can’t be such a ‘salted fish’! You weren’t this lazy before, so what’s going on now? No way! You can’t be like this!]
The System heard her inner thoughts and couldn’t resist speaking up, highly disapproving.
“That’s because… I don’t want to do this kind of thing. Fighting back and forth is really meaningless. Everyone is just a lovely girl.”
[…But sometimes it’s not like you can just choose not to fight and be fine. Others want to fight with you. If you don’t fight, then the Auntie will belong to someone else.] The system was dying of anxiety.
“You don’t believe in my charm?” Ye Xingran said.
[…No, Host, I cannot stand by and watch the fruits of your labor be snatched away. Starting now, we must execute a short-term conquest plan—]
“I don’t want to.”
[It’s not up to you. It’s very fun. There’s no confrontation, and it can even make you and the Auntie have a good time and raise the threshold.]
…Holy crap, even the word “threshold” came out.
Ye Xingran had no choice but to compromise: “Tell me about it.”
[Hee-hee, Host, you’re so good. I’ll assign small tasks to you in a bit, don’t be in a hurry just yet~]
“Sister Wei, who is this? Dressed so… really very individualistic, even more unconventional than me.”
In the gap of Ye Xingran’s conversation with the System, she and Gu Yun had already arrived in front of Wei Xuejin and Ye Mian’an. Before Wei Xuejin could speak, Ye Mian’an took the lead, her eyes full of smiles.
There was no trace of hostility whatsoever.
As expected, she wasn’t someone easy to deal with, but Ye Xingran actually liked dealing with smart people.
Otherwise, if it were always those idiots like Ye Siyan who explode after two sentences, it would be really boring.
Now, this Ye Mian’an actually piqued some of her interest.
Let’s see what moves she would pull.
Of course, Ye Xingran didn’t know that the fluffy creature on her shoulder was not as interested as she was. Instead, it had its paws crossed over its chest, looking at Ye Mian’an with a provocative expression. The next second, it put on boxing gloves and threw punches—it was having a blast.
But no matter what, it was hard to see the fluffy creature on Ye Xingran’s shoulder liking the other party.
Wei Xuejin found the vastly different attitudes of these two—the big one and the small one—quite unusual.
Did Ye Mian’an really make her dislike her that much?
“Mian’an, she is my…”
“Hello, Miss Ye Mian’an. My name is Ye Xingran. I just saw you at Teacher Xu’s lecture too. You were at the very front, painting a peony oil painting. It was quite beautiful, but…”
Ye Xingran didn’t wait for Wei Xuejin to introduce her and spoke first. she even proactively grabbed Wei Xuejin’s hand to declare her sovereignty: “You must have studied under a famous master. For a semi-amateur like me, it’s better not to say too much.”
Ye Xingran said half of what she meant and left the other half unsaid. Paired with the pure and harmless smile on her face, someone narrow-minded could be driven to death with anger by her.
Yet she continued as if she were unaware: “Where was I? Just now I mentioned my name is Ye Xingran. I’m currently ‘mooching’ under President Wei for the time being, responsible for making President Wei happy.”
[…Host, you are truly shameless.] The system couldn’t help but sigh. How could you say something as shameless as “mooching” so casually? You are a “fierce Alpha”!
“Can dignity put food on the table? No.” Ye Xingran was someone who had lived through hard and poor times, so she naturally knew that some things could not be compromised.
[Regardless, the Host just proactively provoked the other party. Points +10!]
“I didn’t just provoke her. I was proactively getting along with her in a peaceful and friendly manner.”
[Yes, yes, yes, whatever the Host says is right!] The system didn’t care about that much. A Host who could get points was a good Host!
[Ah, additionally, I forgot to mention: if the Host can get 100 points, you will be able to get an unexpected reward~] The system was very good at giving Ye Xingran a “shot in the arm,” so it added further explanation.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll definitely do my best to complete the task!”
[…] I knew you liked getting advantages.
“…Mooching? What mooching?” A young lady like Ye Mian’an had never heard of such a thing as “mooching.” She glanced at Ye Xingran again, confirming she was an Alpha. That she could say such a shameful thing without changing her expression was truly beyond her expectations.
It seemed this competitor was even more shameless than those she had met before.
She couldn’t lower her guard.
“It means exactly what it sounds like,” Wei Xuejin chimed in.
“But… Sister Wei, don’t you hate people who get things without effort the most? Can such a person be worthy of you?”
“Sister Wei… didn’t you say before… that you dislike those who get things for free the most? Why is it like this suddenly?” Ye Mian’an looked at Wei Xuejin in great confusion, seemingly not understanding why. However, there was no light of anger or disdain on her face; she was simply raising a doubt. She glanced at Ye Xingran and continued asking uncertainly: “Sister Wei, you… haven’t met a fraud, have you?”
“Mian’an, are you currently questioning my IQ? Or are you questioning my subordinate’s ability?” Wei Xuejin listened to her say so much, with the spear eventually pointing directly at Ye Xingran. She was actually quite unhappy in her heart; she didn’t like others questioning her decisions.
Furthermore, since she took over as President of the Wei family, she had never made a wrong decision.
Right now, she could sense that Ye Mian’an was worried about her and meant well, but that didn’t mean she could openly question her decisions like this.
Especially saying such things in front of Ye Xingran—she felt it was fundamentally inconsistent with her identity.
She gripped Ye Xingran’s hand tightly, defending her completely: “Is this how your aunt, Ye Yurann, taught you? Is this how your parents taught you?”
When had Ye Mian’an ever heard Wei Xuejin speak to her with such heavy words? Her eyes immediately turned red. “Sister Wei, why are you like this? I care about you and asked a few more questions because I’m afraid you’ll be deceived. How could you… talk to me like this? And even involve my family?”
“This is entirely my own thought and intent. You shouldn’t say that; it damages the friendship between our two families.”
Ye Xingran had been watching her performance the whole time and sighed in her heart: High… it’s truly high…
Ye Mian’an called her shameless, but wasn’t the more shameless person actually her? Coming right out with a “tear attack” and even wanting to use moral kidnapping—she was much more sophisticated than an Alpha like her who wanted to “mooch” for free.
She really did need to learn a thing or two.
“System, you really should give me some guides on ‘White Lotus’ and ‘Green Tea.’ Those who play tactics are always dirty, aren’t they?”
[You know it’s dirty and you still want to learn? It’s not good if you learn bad habits.]
“It’s precisely because it’s dirty that it’s good. One shouldn’t be too pure-hearted.”
[…Then can’t the Host just learn well from Ye Mian’an right now?] the System said.
“You have a point. I find her quite interesting. An Alpha who is over 1.7 meters tall still crying like this—it’s really hilarious.”
Uh, Host, don’t forget you tried crying before too, okay? And you’re a “fierce Alpha”!
“Fine then, leave. I don’t want to see you right now.” Originally, it was thought that Wei Xuejin would more or less try to coax Ye Mian’an for the sake of the two families’ friendship, say a few soft words, or even question Ye Xingran a bit.
Yet, unexpectedly… Wei Xuejin actually spoke to her so mercilessly.
“Sister Wei… how could you be like this… you… you’re bullying me!”
Ye Mian’an’s eyes were originally just red and she hadn’t intended to cry. But now… being spoken to like this by Wei Xuejin… it wouldn’t do if she didn’t cry. Tears fell from her face one by one; she really looked quite pitiable.
But Ye Xingran would not sympathize with a love rival.
She and Wei Xuejin didn’t speak either, just stood hand-in-hand in front of Ye Mian’an and watched her cry. Along the way, she was learning how she cried so beautifully—because the crying… was indeed somewhat good-looking.
She admitted she couldn’t cry as beautifully as she did.
“Auntie, aren’t you going to coax her? She looks so pitiable.” Seeing that she was still crying incessantly, Ye Xingran couldn’t help but ask.
“I don’t know how to coax people, and…” Wei Xuejin looked at her: “I think you are more pitiable.”
“Huh? How am I pitiable?” Ye Xingran wondered.
“You’re clearly not a fraud, yet you were called one. She is effectively committing slander. You should be the one crying in front of me instead,” Wei Xuejin said.
“…” There seemed to be a bit of twisted logic there.
Wait, no… although I’m pitiable, it doesn’t mean I have to cry in front of you. Why should I cry in front of you?
