After Being Clung to by a Gentle, Seductive Omega - Chapter 19.1
Take responsibility.
Of course she would take responsibility.
No matter whether Bo Shuang eventually gave birth to this child or not, Ji Congyan would take responsibility.
If she gave birth, Ji Congyan would be responsible to the end.
If she aborted…
She would also be responsible to the end.
Ji Congyan stared blankly at the piece of paper she had accepted, her gaze unfocused.
Smelling the fragrance emitted by the pregnant Omega, she nodded muddleheadedly again and again, unable to even speak.
“President Ji, will you sign an agreement with me?”
Only when Bo Shuang’s gentle voice sounded did Ji Congyan realize that things were different from what she had imagined.
She came back to herself and carefully looked at the document in her hand.
It was a pregnancy diagnosis report for an Omega.
“What does this mean…?” Ji Congyan’s brain crashed, and she could not react for a moment.
“I’ve already asked Professor Sun to cancel the surgery. President Ji, are you willing to sign an agreement with me and accompany the child in my womb until she is born?”
Cen Sang had already gone back to the company to attend a meeting on Ji Congyan’s behalf.
At this moment, there were only Ji Congyan and Bo Shuang in the corridor.
Ji Congyan stood with her face turned slightly to the side. Sunlight poured through the enormous glass window, illuminating the blank expression on her face.
When she did not reply for a long time, Bo Shuang said gently, “President Ji, you don’t need to feel burdened. If you are unwilling, I will still raise the child myself.”
“I’m willing!”
Bo Shuang still wanted to say something, but Ji Congyan, who had finally come back to herself, interrupted in time.
Ji Congyan had not expected that Bo Shuang had already drafted the agreement.
Two copies of the agreement lay spread flat on the coffee table.
Sitting on the sofa, Ji Congyan read through the contents carefully. The more she read, the more her brows furrowed.
The contents of the agreement included, but were not limited to, providing Bo Shuang with Alpha pheromones when she needed them, as well as providing further physical contact to ease physical discomfort.
The former was relatively simple. It was just a matter of lifting a suppressant patch.
But the latter was truly too difficult for her.
Even so, she was also well aware of how hard pregnancy was on an Omega. This was something an Alpha had to do. There was no room for doubt.
Her brow only twitched slightly.
Ji Congyan gritted her teeth and accepted it.
The fountain pen was placed to the side. She picked it up, and just before the pen tip fell on the signature line, she suddenly remembered something and looked up.
“Why did Miss Bo suddenly change her mind?”
Her gaze carried scrutiny.
Bo Shuang said gently and openly, “When I went onto the operating table yesterday, my intention to abort this child was still firm.”
Against the light, every strand of her hair glowed amber beneath the sun.
Ji Congyan’s chest tightened. She gripped the pen.
“Yesterday, the surgery was stopped. While I was waiting in the medical passage for the next operating room to become available, I heard the cry of a baby from the delivery room next door… President Ji, have you ever heard the sound of a newborn baby crying?”
Ji Congyan nodded.
When Ji Xunwu was born, her mother had thrown that palm-sized little thing to her. Holding the red-faced little baby and listening to her loud cries, Ji Congyan’s heart had filled with a strange and wonderful feeling.
Perhaps that was humanity’s expectation and yearning toward reproduction.
At that time, when she had just come into contact with a newborn, every time her younger sister cried, all of her attention would be drawn away.
A little life was always hard to ignore.
And that was only her younger sister.
Then what about her own child…
Bo Shuang had been pushed out of the operating room by her and had carried such a fragile embryo while listening to the cries of a baby coming from the delivery room. How helpless must she have been at that moment?
“I was afraid she would cry in another world, with no mother there to hold her. So even if I still thought President Ji had a daughter at the time, even if the Alpha mother column on my child’s household register would be empty, I still wanted to give birth to her and hold her.”
Bo Shuang did not wait for Ji Congyan’s answer and continued speaking on her own. The corners of her eyes gradually reddened again, as if she had seen some sorrowful scene, and a tear fell.
Ji Congyan handed Bo Shuang a tissue.
“Thank you, President Ji.”
Ji Congyan’s heart was also being tugged at, and it felt very uncomfortable.
She waited for Bo Shuang to wipe away her tears, then looked at her seriously.
“You were unwilling to tell me yesterday that this was my child only because you thought I had a fiancée and a daughter? Also, on the night of the film and television gala, did Miss Bo enter my room deliberately, or did you accidentally barge in?
“Miss Bo, I don’t want to leave any hidden dangers in our future familial relationship, so please answer these questions honestly.”
“Yes. I had no intention of disturbing President Ji’s family.” Bo Shuang paused. “I also knew that presidential suite belonged to you. In Yueyu Entertainment, I had no control over my own situation. I needed President Ji’s protection.”
Ji Congyan revealed an expression that said, as expected.
But she did not say anything more.
Among the elite and powerful families, such things were not uncommon. Her Omega mother, Gong Yu, had met and gotten together with her Alpha mother, Ji Quanchen, in the same way.
Simply seeking that power was perfectly fine. Only then could a relationship be maintained for a long time.
If Bo Shuang truly only sought her feelings, Ji Congyan would probably think something was wrong with her.
And relationships entangled by interests were precisely the kind Ji Congyan was best at handling.
“Before signing this document, I still need to discuss some details with Miss Bo.”
“President Ji, please go ahead.”
“First, I am a very traditional Alpha. My daughter cannot only have an Alpha mother in the biological sense. She needs a happy family environment. So we need to register our marriage and move into the courtyard where I live. Also, aside from the two of us, no third person will know that this is an agreement marriage.”
“Agreed.”
“Second, the child in your womb will have the surname Ji.”
“That is only natural.”
Bo Shuang had always hated the paternal surname she herself followed.
“Third, I have mysophobia. If I weren’t controlled by Alpha pheromones during rut, I probably would never touch any Omega in my life. I can cooperate with you for appropriate physical contact, but it must be done gradually.”
“Please rest assured, President Ji. I won’t force you.”
After they finished discussing what needed to be discussed, the two newly promoted prospective mothers printed the documents again and signed their names.
The agreement period was one and a half years.
·
Before registering their marriage, there was one extremely important matter.
A prenatal checkup.
The team that exclusively served the Ji family was highly efficient. Their medical skill and professionalism were also far above that of the deputy director downstairs, who had to receive many patients in a single day.
The team professor looked at the data and frowned repeatedly.
Ji Congyan and Bo Shuang sat on the sofa. The distance between them was so wide that two more people could have sat in between.
“President Ji, Miss Bo, overall, the embryo’s condition cannot be considered good.”
“Let’s start with the normal data first.”
“The five thyroid indicators, the four TORCH prenatal screening indicators, and the four infectious disease indicators are normal. The mother’s blood type is standard, and the hospital has sufficient stock. Coagulation function is normal.”
At first listen, there were quite a few normal test items.
But Ji Congyan felt something was wrong.
The most critical three tests—ultrasound, blood test, and gland examination—were not among the normal results the doctor mentioned.
“Now that we’ve finished the normal ones, please look at this ultrasound image first.”
The image was projected onto the wall. The professor held a long pointer and circled one spot.
In the black-and-white image, there was a small mass that could not yet be identified as human.
“We compared it to the imaging from when Chairwoman Ji and Madam were pregnant with you and Miss Xunwu. We found that the embryo in Miss Bo’s uterus is about one week smaller than expected and shows slight developmental delay.”
“From the blood test results, her hemoglobin is low. Miss Bo has mild iron-deficiency anemia. There are also problems to varying degrees: low albumin, indicating insufficient protein intake; electrolyte imbalance; elevated transaminase, indicating liver function damage; low fasting blood sugar…”
“The gland examination results show a relatively serious problem. The pheromones inside the Omega gland are very unstable.”
“Based on the results of the ultrasound, blood test, and gland examination, we determine that the embryo is smaller than expected and underdeveloped due to multiple factors: Miss Bo’s moderate deficiency in many essential nutrients, severe lack of Alpha pheromone nourishment, and significant emotional fluctuations.”
Previously, when Sun Ru examined Bo Shuang, the reference data had been general medical data. Judging from the normal fluctuation ranges of the various values, Bo Shuang’s body had been in a relatively healthy state.
But the Ji family’s medical team held several generations of the Ji family’s genetic information and past reproductive records. They had even obtained Bo Shuang’s examination data from when she was still an embryo all the way until adulthood from other hospitals.
By combining the genetic information of both parties and precisely analyzing each value, they arrived at a new conclusion: the Omega’s body had quite a few problems, and the embryo in her womb was also not in a particularly ideal condition.
A lack of nutrition was a common problem among actors.
Bo Shuang lowered her lashes slightly. Ji Congyan listened until her eyelids twitched.
When Mommy had been pregnant, she had not had this many problems. At most, she had lacked a little Alpha pheromone, and even that had been extremely, extremely mild.
Bo Shuang’s body was far too weak.
“Is there still morning sickness?” the doctor asked.
Ji Congyan answered, “She was dry-heaving yesterday, but she didn’t fully vomit.”
The doctor asked, “What caused the dry-heaving?”
Ji Congyan said, “It should have been smell. Last night, we attended a banquet, and the smells on our bodies were mixed.”
Bo Shuang said gently, “There was a strong unfamiliar Omega scent on President Ji.”
Oh.
The expert looked as if she was ready to eat gossip.
“Was it President You’s pheromone scent? President You was also exposed to R6 yesterday. Perhaps President Ji accidentally picked up the smell while accompanying President You here.”
The professor who spoke felt her foot being stepped on.
She glanced sideways, and her colleague glared at her.
If you don’t know how to speak, then don’t speak!
Ji Congyan nodded in full agreement. “Yes. Yesterday, I rode in the helicopter with You Yue. The helicopter cabin was small, so that should have been when I accidentally picked up the scent.”
Bo Shuang looked at her gently. “If I unfortunately encounter a similar situation next time, can President Ji accompany me in the same vehicle?”
Ji Congyan knew she had said the wrong thing and silently nodded.
“When an Omega smells another Omega’s scent during pregnancy, it can indeed easily trigger pregnancy reactions, especially if the scent is on an Alpha. President Ji needs to pay attention to this in the future.”
“As for nutrition, Miss Bo, please remember not to deliberately restrict your diet. We will prepare a daily nutrition list later. President Ji, will it be the same as before? Will you personally arrange the specific menu?”
Ji Congyan said, “Mm.”
“The more serious issue is the gland problem…”
The most fundamental problem was that the pregnancy had been caused by a temporary mark, not a permanent mark.
During a temporary mark, the amount of pheromones injected into the Omega gland was far lower than with a permanent mark.
And throughout the entire pregnancy, Bo Shuang had basically had no contact with Ji Congyan.
They had only met a few times at the crew, the club, the banquet, and the hospital.
Although they had once stood very close and she could smell the fragrance on the Alpha’s body, that was not Alpha pheromones after all. It was only the scent on Ji Congyan herself. It could simply ease Bo Shuang’s discomfort at the time, but it could not solve the lack of Alpha pheromones at the root.
“Alpha pheromones are an essential nutrient for an Omega during pregnancy. Miss Bo is essentially missing the most important nutrient. That is the fundamental reason the embryo is underdeveloped.”
Professor Luo’s words remained vivid in her mind.
·
The car was driving toward the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Cen Sang sat in the front row, looking straight ahead, while the partition in the back seat was raised.
Ji Congyan tore off her suppressant patch. The domineering scent of clear wine atop a snowy peak filled the car overwhelmingly.
If pheromones could be seen with the naked eye, one would definitely see the Alpha pheromones happily surrounding the Omega and wrapping around Bo Shuang so tightly that not even air could get through.
The gland problem was severe. The solution Professor Luo gave was not to directly mark the Omega, but to first let the Omega smell the pheromones.
During pregnancy, the Omega gland was excessively lacking in Alpha pheromones. If a large amount suddenly poured in after a mark, it would only cause the Omega to enter a false heat.
The embryo in early pregnancy was still very fragile and could not withstand that kind of passionate, intimate turmoil.
She needed to smell it for a period of time, replenishing little by little, allowing the Omega gland to adapt to the presence of sufficient Alpha pheromones.
To expose her gland, Ji Congyan undid the top three buttons of her shirt, revealing her collarbone and shoulder strap. She swept her long hair to one side.
It was her first time providing pheromones to an Omega, and she was very unused to it.
She felt as if she were sitting on needles, secretly gripping the car door handle.
“May I ask President Ji to come a little closer?”
“We’re about to register our marriage soon. Miss Bo, why are you being so polite? Are you trying to let someone discover that ours is an agreement marriage?”
Bo Shuang paused, then said gently, “Congyan, come a little closer.”
Ji Congyan’s ears inexplicably tingled.
She rubbed them unnaturally. Her body remained where it was, but her neck stretched toward Bo Shuang.
The posture was a little strange and somewhat unbefitting of a president’s bearing, but she could not very well make the pregnant Omega bend over and lean down. It would not be good if she pressed on the child.
Her slender neck crossed the middle and elegantly reached beside Bo Shuang.
The beauty also swept her own hair to the other side to avoid touching Ji Congyan. She lowered her head slightly, the tip of her nose less than a fist’s distance away from the Alpha gland.
The cold, clear wine fragrance from a snowy peak filled her nose and wandered through every part of her body. It seemed to pause briefly in every organ, carving the words “visited here.”
The discomfort throughout her body was eased bit by bit by the Alpha pheromones, and her body continuously became lighter and more comfortable.
After wandering around once, the Alpha pheromones finally returned to the gland and quietly gathered around the reproductive cavity deep within, guarding it steadily.
The Omega gland at the back of her neck swelled slightly in response, glowing with a beautiful, healthy pink.
This feeling was truly too comfortable, and Bo Shuang became immersed in it.
Just then, the car suddenly braked hard, and the tip of her nose crashed heavily against the Alpha gland. In that instant, every hair on Ji Congyan’s body stood up.
The gland was an Alpha and Omega’s third sex characteristic. This action was no different from harassment.
Ji Congyan’s long neck withdrew with a whoosh, cutting off the supply of pheromone fragrance to the Omega. She glared unhappily at the culprit, an unusual redness spreading from her neck to her cheeks.
“Miss Bo is far too careless.”
Her tone was dangerous.
“I’m sorry. It was my fault. But Congyan, I still haven’t smelled enough. Can you let me smell it a little longer?”
Ji Congyan stared at her. “Does it smell good?”
Bo Shuang nodded lightly.
Ji Congyan raised a brow. “So obsessed with my pheromones.”
The corners of her lips curled, and she reluctantly yet elegantly extended her neck back.
·
Ji Congyan and Bo Shuang were undoubtedly public figures.
The moment they stepped into the Civil Affairs Bureau, gazes from all directions turned toward them.
Everyone watched as the two sat calmly and composedly before the service counter. President Ji opened her precious mouth and said faintly, “Hello. We’re here to get a marriage certificate.”
The hall, which had still been noisy a moment ago, instantly seemed to have had the mute button pressed.
The young couples preparing to get married stopped looking at each other. The two people about to divorce also stopped arguing. All of them opened their mouths wide.
The clerk upheld her professional spirit. “Hello. Have you taken your photo?”
Ji Congyan said, “No.”
The clerk said, “All right. Please leave your ID documents here. I’ll enter your information first. You two can go over there to take the photo.”
Ji Congyan and Bo Shuang went over. There were still several couples waiting in front. The two currently taking photos hurriedly scrambled down from the platform.
“P-President Ji… F-F-Film Queen Bo… You go first, you go first…”
Not only did the couple currently taking photos step aside, but the couples ahead in line also instantly gave way.
Ji Congyan glanced at Cen Sang. Cen Sang immediately understood and smiled at the soon-to-be newlyweds who had given up their places.
“Please show your payment codes. President Ji and Film Queen Bo will send everyone wedding red envelopes.”
Ji Congyan and Bo Shuang stood before the red backdrop to take their photo. Payment notification sounds kept ringing beside their ears.
Before leaving the hospital, the two had changed into new clothes.
Bo Shuang’s lower abdomen had a slight curve and was not suitable for pants, so she changed into a pure white camisole dress. The style was simple and elegant. Standing beside Ji Congyan’s white shirt, they looked very well matched.
Ji Congyan had deliberately put on makeup to cover the injury on her face.
The photographer pressed the shutter. Every single photo looked like a retouched picture.
Film Queen Bo was simply too beautiful. Her face was only palm-sized, her peach-blossom eyes looked as gentle and clear as if washed by stream water, and her features were deep and three-dimensional. No matter the angle, the image was excellent.
The clerk pressed the steel seal down heavily.
Click. Click.
Two bright red booklets were handed to them.
“Congratulations on your marriage~”
·
Ji Congyan and Bo Shuang were two people who had originally seemed completely unrelated, yet they appeared together at the Civil Affairs Bureau and even received a marriage certificate.
It was simply the news of the century.
For a time, large numbers of online users flooded into social media.
#BoShuangJiCongyan
#BoShuangMarriage
#JiCongyanMarriage
And other related topics quickly parachuted onto the trending search rankings, firmly occupying the top three positions. Each one was followed by a dark red [Explosive] tag.
The two people involved had no time to deal with public opinion.
Ji Congyan, the workaholic, rarely took an entire day off to welcome the Omega mother of her child into her home.
The car slowly drove along the winding mountain road.
It was summer, and flowers were planted along the roadside.
Unlike the extravagant decorations of the You family manor, the Ji family manor was overall low-key, luxurious, and carried the simple sense of years settled over time. The servants each performed their duties and spoke softly within the magnificent manor.
A car slowly stopped on the blue stone pavement at the entrance.
A pair of long, slender legs stepped out. At first glance, the servants thought President Ji had returned, but why did it feel as if her legs had become more than ten jin thinner, and the muscles in her calves had disappeared? They all came forward to respectfully welcome her.
A woman in a pure white dress stepped out. Beneath the sunlight, her gentle and beautiful face was breathtakingly lovely.
The eldest miss familiar to everyone got out from the door on the other side and, together with Cen Sang, took several large suitcases from the trunk.
Looking at the beautiful Bo Shuang, the servants did not react for a moment.
Ji Congyan frowned in dissatisfaction.
“What are you standing there for? Greet her.”
G-g-greet her as what!?
Everyone looked at one another in confusion.
Until Ji Congyan revealed a red booklet. Beneath the sunlight, the large words Marriage Certificate entered their eyes.
“Madam! Eldest Miss! Miss Cen!”
Before the servants could widen their eyes in shock, the butler’s voice came from the main building. The elderly butler had graying hair, but she ran all the way over, panting, and arrived before Ji Congyan and Bo Shuang.
“Go help Eldest Miss and Madam carry their things. No sense at all.”
After the butler slapped them on the back, everyone finally woke as if from a dream. They swarmed to Cen Sang’s side to take the suitcases, staring at Bo Shuang with shock and curiosity.
