Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, a Dainty Omega is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 16

Lie detection?

With this body, she wasn’t sure if she could trust it.

But Jiang Cha was right there. She had been cold and solemn throughout, clearly desperate for the truth. Xiao Yun felt that even a moment of hesitation would put her life at risk.

“Lie detection? Test me however you want.”

With that, she glanced slightly at Jiang Cha. Jiang Cha let out a long breath, and her chest gradually began to settle.

Xia Yang walked ahead, leading the two of them to the lie detector room.

Zhongshan Hospital was fully equipped with high-end instruments. It was originally an institution acquired by the Xiao family. The doctors inside were top-tier. The lie detector was primarily used to settle disputes where some couples insisted they had or hadn’t done something.

Since the introduction of the lie detector, Alphas who used to shift blame had become more honest, and the testing room had gradually become deserted.

A Beta nurse was sitting on a stool painting her nails black. Seeing two Alphas and an Omega arrive—the Omega was wearing a mask but still looked quite beautiful—she stood up like she was ready for some gossip. Her eyes landed on the pretty Omega’s abdomen.

The abdomen was flat. To the nurse, one Alpha looked like a delinquent girl; it would be normal for someone like that to cause trouble. The other, while not looking like a delinquent, had a domineering aura—tall and standing straight like a pine tree. For someone like that to do something scandalous was truly…

The nurse shook her head.

“Open the lie detector room for us,” Xia Yang said, tapping her fingers on the desk.

“Alright. Has your attending physician arrived?”

The nurse pulled out three files and handed them to Xia Yang.

Xia Yang took one: “We only need one.” She handed the file to Xiao Yun.

The nurse blinked, coming to her own conclusion: So she’s the one who got the Omega pregnant?

Xiao Yun took the file and fluently signed her name, successfully entering the room.

Inside, Xiao Yun sat on the inner side while Xia Yang sat on the outer side.

The nurse stood at the door and glanced at Jiang Cha. The beautiful Omega’s face looked very pale. The nurse comforted her: “Miss, why don’t you sit down and listen?”

The nurse brought out a small stool and motioned for Jiang Cha to sit.

Jiang Cha smiled: “Thank you, but there’s no need.”

Jiang Cha couldn’t sit still. Her heart was on a roller coaster. When Xiao Yun came to see her mother, she had felt very comforted, thinking Xiao Yun was actually quite kind. But if things were truly as Xia Yang said—that she had intentionally harmed her ex-wife just to trick her into marriage… Yet, on their wedding night, Xiao Yun hadn’t forced a marking, even though it was the perfect opportunity.

She let out a heavy breath.

The nurse patted her shoulder: “Miss, don’t worry. Once it’s confirmed the baby is hers, she won’t be able to escape!”

Jiang Cha looked up in shock, her almond eyes wide: “Huh?”

The nurse, looking righteous, covered her mouth and whispered in her ear: “Don’t be surprised. I’ve seen plenty of cases like yours. She must take responsibility. I think she’s actually quite good-looking; if you discipline her well, you can still train her into an obedient Alpha.”

Jiang Cha: “…You’ve misunderstood.” She looked toward Xiao Yun, thinking about the nurse’s comment: Quite good-looking.

The lie detector lit up, casting a red light on Xiao Yun’s face. Her cheeks were lean, her nose bridge was high, and her brow carried a naturally refined and cool temperament.

Xiao Yun closed her eyes. Her temples and wrists were tightly attached to the sensors.

The red light circled the lie detector display and stopped.

“Second Xiao, don’t be nervous,” Xia Yang said with a smirk from across the table.

Xiao Yun’s eyes shifted under her lids. She slowly opened them and immediately locked eyes with Jiang Cha sitting by the door. Her heart jumped.

What kind of look was that in Jiang Cha’s eyes?

Xiao Yun retracted her gaze and looked at Xia Yang: “Let’s begin.”

The nurse started the machine and explained that it would last for three minutes. Once the time was up, the device would shut off automatically. After speaking, she left to give them privacy.

The red digits jumped out.

3:00:00. The stopwatch whirled rapidly, and Xiao Yun’s heart followed the pace.

Xia Yang sat opposite her, looking smug.

“What is your name?”

According to procedure, they had to verify basic information before entering the core topic.

“Xiao Yun.”

“Gender?”

“Female,” Xiao Yun paused for a second.

“Age?”

“23.”

Xiao Yun looked down at the lie detector. It didn’t react. She let out a small breath.

“When did you first start paying attention to Jiang Cha?”

Xia Yang leaned back. She knew Xiao Yun had known about Jiang Cha since university. She wanted to see how she would answer.

“The wedding.”

“You’re lying!”

The lie detector remained silent.

Xiao Yun’s lips curled up: “Why don’t you ask about Li Rang?”

“I need to clear my name.”

“I’m not asking yet. It’s early.”

Xiao Yun glanced at the time. 40 seconds had passed.

“How did you and I meet?”

“Primary school. You helped me.”

“Do you still consider me a good friend?”

“No. A friend wouldn’t covet another’s wife.”

“But you clearly said we would do it together!”

Xia Yang stood up excitedly. She saw the lie detector hadn’t lit up. Xiao Yun didn’t consider her a friend anymore. Xiao Yun didn’t want this friendship.

She clenched her fist and slammed it on the table.

Jiang Cha took a deep breath, her body leaning back slightly.

Xiao Yun looked at her calmly: “You’re interfering with the equipment.”

“Also, I never said those vile things.”

Xiao Yun clasped her hands and leaned forward slightly.

“Hahaha, Xiao Yun, don’t you dare blame me. I’m asking you: regarding sending Li Rang to prison this time, framing her with false charges, and then marrying Jiang Cha—were you the mastermind behind this entire incident?!”

Xia Yang looked at her expectantly after finishing.

Jiang Cha watched Xiao Yun, her hands tightly gripping her skirt, her fingers turning red from the pressure.

“See? She doesn’t even dare to answer.”

Xiao Yun’s expression froze. When the question was asked, fragments of memories suddenly rushed into her mind.

Her heart rate accelerated.

For a moment, it felt like she truly had participated in this event. She was using this body, possessed these fragmented memories, and shared its tension and fear.

She closed her eyes.

A voice called to her. Fear and unease fought for her will, inch by inch.

However, Xiao Yun shook her head: “I didn’t.”

She hadn’t done it, and she wasn’t her.

After blurting it out, she held her breath, afraid that even one more inhalation would cause the lie detector to vibrate.

Xia Yang stared intently at the machine. The air was silent for ten seconds. The lie detector did not move.

Xia Yang slumped into her chair: “This lie detector isn’t accurate.”

At the same time, Jiang Cha’s hands, which were gripping her skirt, relaxed.

Time continued to tick. Xiao Yun had been silent for nearly half a minute. Only thirty seconds remained.

Fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and the weight in her heart finally lifted.

Xia Yang was in disbelief. She grabbed the detector: “No, this isn’t right! Xiao Yun, you’re lying!”

“Don’t think just because your family bought this hospital you can manipulate it however you want!”

Xiao Yun was startled. Her family bought this hospital too?

She coughed: “I didn’t manipulate anything.”

Xia Yang didn’t believe her. She tore the sensors off Xiao Yun’s hands.

“Impossible, impossible.” Xia Yang was almost dazed. “Unbelievable, hahahaha.” She turned to Jiang Cha: “Since Li Rang didn’t commit a crime, Jiang Cha, you still love her, right? I’ll help you get her out!”

Xiao Yun was the one who abandoned her first, no longer treating her as a friend.

Xiao Yun felt the situation was a mess. She sighed and silently pulled out the file Xiao Jiang had investigated for her from her bag.

“Is this what you wanted to investigate?”

Xiao Yun held the document between her index and middle fingers, holding it up in front of her.

“I had someone investigate it a second time. She indeed smuggled the drugs.”

Black and white, the evidence was conclusive.

Xiao Yun had forgotten how she actually left the lie detector room. She only remembered Xia Yang still looking incredulous.

As for Jiang Cha, she looked despondent. Hearing that her loved one truly had broken the law must have been painful.

The two returned to room 288 as if nothing had happened.

Liu Zehui had finished half a bowl of cherries and was asleep on the bed. Seeing them enter, she sat up quickly: “Where did you go? Why are you only back now?”

She looked sleepy.

“I haven’t even chatted with Xiao Yun yet.”

Jiang Cha tucked the blanket around her: “Mom, you rest first. I’ll bring her to see you next time.”

“Yunyun,” Xiao Yun shivered at the name.

Xiao Yun quickly added: “That’s right, Auntie. We shouldn’t disturb you for too long. We’ll come back next time.”

Liu Zehui lay back down contentedly: “That’s fine. You young people are busy with your careers.”

Back in the car, Xiao Yun bit a card in her mouth while putting the keys in and driving out of the parking lot.

Once they were out, Xiao Yun turned to look at Jiang Cha.

Jiang Cha was lost in thought.

Xiao Yun glanced at her: “Regarding your ex-wife… I did my best.”

By standard rules, her crime usually warranted more than three years.

Jiang Cha nodded and hummed in response. It was windy outside, and Jiang Cha, wearing a mini skirt, was visibly freezing. She pulled out a tissue and yawned several times, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Yes, I know.”

Jiang Cha sobbed while responding.

The tears wetted her eyelashes. When she opened her eyes, they flickered with a look of purity and innocence, like deep peach blossom spring water. Combined with her red nose, she looked naturally frail and pitiful.

How great would it be if she never turned “black-hearted”?

Xiao Yun looked at her face and couldn’t help but sigh.

Thinking about the script, with Jiang Cha’s personality and her love for Li Rang, she would surely use every means to get her out. So, what would happen next…

Xiao Yun suddenly didn’t know how the story would develop.

Seeing her so sad, Xiao Yun didn’t know how to comfort her. There was a river near Zhongshan Hospital, and the roadsides were piled high with snow. The scenery was beautiful.

Xiao Yun drove slowly along the river. The world before them was pure white.

Jiang Cha finally stopped crying. She looked out the window, remained silent for a while, and then turned to look at her.

“Yunyun.”

Xiao Yun’s skin crawled with goosebumps: “When it’s just the two of us, you can just call me by my full name.”

Jiang Cha pursed her lips in silence for a moment and then nodded.

Xiao Yun looked at her, wondering what she wanted to say. She pulled the car over to the side of the path, and the car became silent.

“Xiao… Second Miss, I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

Author’s Note:

Xiao Yun: “She deeply loves her ex-wife.”

Jiang Cha: “The weather is so cold.”
