After Clinging to a Big Shot, the Pitiful Omega Got Pregnant - Chapter 33

After Fu Yuan left, the lawyer organized the contract and had Ji Xia sign it.

When Chen Xi returned to the ward, only Ji Xia was left, leaning against the headboard, lost in thought. He knocked on the door, saw the Omega flinch and turn his head, his eyes empty and filled with a hint of sadness.

Chen Xi sighed inwardly, walked in, pulled up a chair and sat by Ji Xia’s bed, asking, “How are you feeling now?”

Ji Xia forced a smile and said, “Much better. I’m fine now.”

Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Xiaxia, are you going to help Fu Yuan treat his pheromone disorder?”

Ji Xia nodded and said, “Mr. Fu has helped me so much; even without any reward, I would be willing to help him with the treatment.”

Chen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “So, what reward did you ask for? Did you fleece him terribly?”

Ji Xia told Doctor Chen his plan.

Chen Xi’s momentarily relaxed expression darkened again. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Xiaxia, do you know? The world of the rich looks glamorous, but if you peel back that layer of luxury, it’s crawling with maggots.”

Ji Xia didn’t understand what Doctor Chen meant and tilted his head.

Chen Xi thought the Omega was truly beautiful and adorable. He wanted to reach out and rub his head but stopped halfway, remembering a certain extremely possessive person. He reluctantly retracted his hand.

He said, “Let me tell you a story.”

“Thirty-odd years ago, Fu family’s crown prince, Fu Chen, pursued Qiu family’s crown prince, Qiu Qinghe, making it known throughout the capital. Later, Qiu Qinghe and Fu Chen held a wedding of the century; the ceremony was extremely grand. Everyone envied Qiu Qinghe for marrying both his arranged partner and his love. Qiu Qinghe himself thought so too. They spent a very sweet time together until their child was born.”

Ji Xia had a premonition and asked, “Is that child Mr. Fu?”

Chen Xi nodded and said, “Yes. After the child was born, genetic testing showed he was a top Alpha. Everything changed. Fu Chen started coming home late and leaving early, sometimes not coming home at all. His attitude towards Qiu Qinghe also became extremely cold, often subjecting him to cold violence.”

Ji Xia asked in confusion, “Did he stop loving him?”

Chen Xi sneered, “He didn’t stop loving him; he never loved him at all. Fu Chen pursued Qiu Qinghe only for the sake of the family’s lineage. His ‘white moonlight,’ Jian Qinghe, was of humble birth and could never be acknowledged by the Fu family. Old Mr. Fu’s condition was that as long as Fu Chen could have a child with Qiu Qinghe, he wouldn’t interfere with him and Jian Qinghe anymore.”

Ji Xia pursed his lips.

Steward Xu had told him that Mr. Fu’s Omega father passed away when he was five. Just imagining it made it clear how much pain Mr. Qiu must have suffered back then.

Chen Xi said, “Qiu Qinghe’s mental state deteriorated later. Fu Yuan grew up in this kind of family environment, which is why he is averse to marriage and has no plans for children.”

Ji Xia felt a little sorry for Mr. Fu, thinking about baking him some sugar-free shortbread cookies when he got back; maybe Mr. Fu would like them.

Chen Xi saw Ji Xia pursing his lips, lost in thought, and explained, “Xiaxia, I’m telling you this, not to ask you to forgive Fu Yuan. Fu Yuan was wrong in how he handled things; you should punish him well later. I just want to tell you that it’s not that Fu Yuan doesn’t like you. He just hasn’t been able to step out of the shadow of his past yet. Give him more time.”

Ji Xia couldn’t understand Doctor Chen’s words. How could he possibly have the ability to punish Mr. Fu? Moreover, he and Mr. Fu were just bed partners.

Mr. Fu only touched him because of the rut period and the effect of pheromones. It was just a physiological need and had nothing to do with liking.

But he was still very grateful to Doctor Chen for telling him these things about Mr. Fu. He said, “Doctor Chen, thank you, I understand.”

Chen Xi felt like he was worrying too much, but thinking that if this worked out, the always arrogant and dominant top Alpha would be managed by a soft, sweet little Omega, he found it particularly amusing.

And, most importantly, he really liked the pretty little Omega in front of him. If the pretty little Omega wasn’t so dead-set on following Fu Yuan, he would definitely snatch him home.

Chen Xi chatted with Ji Xia for a while longer and left only after Steward Xu arrived.

Ji Xia was only allowed to be discharged after staying for two days. Fu Yuan didn’t visit during this time; only Steward Xu bustled about taking care of him. Doctor Chen came twice to teach him the methods for treating Alpha pheromone disorder and the necessary precautions.

Upon returning to the villa, Ji Xia was asked to move into the master bedroom.

He and Mr. Fu had shared a room on the cruise ship, but the current situation was clearly different. Doctor Chen had also told him that intercourse wouldn’t only happen during the rut period. When an Omega helps an Alpha with treatment using pheromones, the pheromones can excite the Alpha.

In other words, intercourse was possible with every treatment session.

In his dreams, Ji Xia had experienced many terrible sexual encounters. Although those weren’t real, they had still left a psychological shadow in his heart.

Ji Xia hoped that if Mr. Fu wanted it tonight, he could be gentle.

“What’s wrong? Is it not to your taste?”

Steward Xu saw that Ji Xia wasn’t eating as enthusiastically as usual, only picking at the dish directly in front of him, and asked, “If there’s anything you’d like to eat, I’ll have the kitchen make it again.”

Ji Xia was preoccupied with his thoughts and ate distractedly, not really tasting anything. Hearing Steward Xu, he immediately shook his head. “No, it’s very delicious.”

Steward Xu asked, “Is there still some discomfort in your body? I’ll contact Doctor Chen to come and check again.”

Ji Xia quickly shook his head like a rattle-drum, saying, “Grandpa Xu, I’m fine, you’re too nervous.”

Aunt Lin came out of the kitchen with freshly made dessert and happened to hear Ji Xia’s words. She chuckled and teased, “How can he not be nervous?! Young Master Ji, you are the Fu CEO’s lucky star. Since you arrived, the CEO’s times of coming home for dinner have increased. Previously, so many Omegas were sent over, but they were all chased out after less than half a day. You, ah, are different in the CEO’s heart. Mr. Fu even agreed to let you help him treat his pheromone disorder. This is not an opportunity just any Omega could have.”

Ji Xia felt his face flush, thinking about the treatment requiring going to bed. He buried his head in his food and didn’t respond.

Aunt Lin saw that Steward Xu didn’t stop her, so she placed the dessert next to Ji Xia and continued, “Young Master Ji, you wouldn’t believe it, but when we heard that poison was mixed into the CEO’s medicine, we broke out in a cold sweat. If it hadn’t been discovered, in a few years, the CEO’s scent gland would have been in serious trouble.”

Ji Xia was surprised. “It was that serious?”

Aunt Lin said, “Isn’t it? Young Master Ji, how can people be so wicked? After the CEO took power, he never laid a hand on that father and son, yet they are still so greedy and restless, wanting to put the CEO to death?”

Steward Xu coughed lightly.

Ji Xia asked, “Has it been found out who did it?”

Aunt Lin glanced at Steward Xu and said resentfully, “There’s no need to check. If something were to happen to the CEO, the one who benefits is the killer. That shameless person even dared to come to offer condolences and invited Mr. Fu to some banquet. It’s truly disgusting…”

Steward Xu interrupted, “Aunt Lin, the water in the kitchen is boiling.”

Aunt Lin still had anger unvented but saw Steward Xu’s unpleasant expression, so she mumbled an “Oh” and turned back to the kitchen.

Ji Xia asked worriedly, “Grandpa Xu, did Mr. Fu report this incident to the police?”

Steward Xu said, “Young Master Ji, although toxic ingredients were found in the medicine, no evidence was found to prove that the young master’s stepfather did it. The young master will handle this matter; you don’t need to worry too much.”

Ji Xia nodded. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Grandpa Xu, do you know roughly when Mr. Fu will be back tonight?”

Steward Xu said, “There have been changes in the company recently, so there are quite a few things to deal with. Young Master Ji, you don’t have to wait for the young master.”

Ji Xia said, “Okay.”

The dining room became quiet again. To avoid being caught eating inattentively again, Ji Xia ate more focused this time.

There were more than ten small dishes laid out in front of him, richer than the meals he had with Mr. Fu, but the portions were smaller.

He finished eating, feeling just full.

While eating dessert, he said to Steward Xu, “Grandpa Xu, if Mr. Fu isn’t here, you don’t need to cook so many dishes. It’s too much trouble.”

Steward Xu said, “It’s no trouble, this is their job. Moreover, Young Master Ji, your body needs to be well nourished. The menu for each of your meals is set by a professional nutritionist according to your physical condition and cannot be changed arbitrarily. The young master said you are too thin and need to gain more weight.”

Ji Xia said sheepishly, “But, Grandpa Xu, I’ve already gained ten pounds.”

Steward Xu said, “You need to gain another ten pounds to reach the standard weight.”

Ji Xia had nothing to say.

After finishing his meal, at Steward Xu’s request, he took a half-hour walk in the garden, then hurried back to the kitchen to make shortbread cookies, waiting for Mr. Fu to return and eat them.

The air in the master bedroom was thick with the rich scent of the Alpha.

Ji Xia walked in, holding the plate of cookies, and was immediately enveloped by the familiar scent. He felt safe, but thinking about what might happen tonight, he couldn’t help but blush.

He put the plate on the table, curled up on the sofa, hugged a cushion, and started daydreaming.

The fluorescent light shone softly. Ji Xia was a bit bored, so he started talking to the System. “System, do you know when Mr. Fu will be back tonight?”

“That cannot be estimated, Host.”

Ji Xia asked again, “Mr. Fu doesn’t like sweets, does that mean he actually doesn’t like the scent of my pheromones either?”

“That is possible. Host, would you like to open the wardrobe? Attract the great Alpha Fu visually, so he won’t pay so much attention to your scent.”

Ji Xia thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay.”

“Please provide keywords, Host.”

Ji Xia thought, and said, “Homewear, everyday, something Mr. Fu would like…”

“Received. Searching based on keywords.”

“Found outfits that match the request. Countdown to change: 15 minutes…”

While waiting for the change, Ji Xia talked to the System again. “System, what was Mr. Fu’s ending in the original novel? Did Mr. Fu discover the problem with the medicine?”

“Host, the System cannot disclose that. However, the fate trajectories of others have already changed with your presence.”

Ji Xia said, “Oh.” Just then, the sound of rubber tires rubbing against the ground came from outside the half open window. Ji Xia’s ears twitched, and he knew Mr. Fu was back.
