After Clinging to a Big Shot, the Pitiful Omega Got Pregnant - Chapter 52.1
“Ji Xia shook his head and said, ‘Grandma Qiu, I didn’t change anything. Mr. Fu disagrees with me having a baby. It’s me…'”
“Jiang Yishao chuckled, saying, ‘Silly Xiaxia, do you think we could have left so easily last night if A-Yuan hadn’t gone easy on us?'”
“‘Ah?'”
“Ji Xia looked at Jiang Yishao with a blank expression.”
“Jiang Yishao said, ‘Did you notice he didn’t use pheromones last night? And he brought more than ten bodyguards. If he really didn’t want you to leave, even with Granduncle there last night, he couldn’t have protected you.'”
“Ji Xia was slightly stunned.”
“Jiang Yishao took Ji Xia’s other hand and said sincerely, ‘Xiaxia, give A-Yuan some time to figure out how to interact with you. Of course, when he figures it out and comes to confess and reconcile with you, you mustn’t forgive him easily. You must punish him properly.'”
“Ji Xia felt that what Granduncle was saying was magical, as if Mr. Fu really liked him, but Mr. Fu didn’t like him.”
“He whispered, ‘No. Mr. Fu won’t come to confess to me, and he won’t want to reconcile with me.'”
“Jiang Yishao slightly raised an eyebrow and said, ‘Then listen to Granduncle, Xiaxia. Granduncle has a way to make A-Yuan reconcile with you.'”
“At this moment, the unfamiliar Alpha sitting on the sofa lightly coughed and said, ‘Xiaxia hasn’t recovered yet. Hurry up and sign the agreement, let him rest well, and we can talk about the rest later.'”
“Grandma Qiu said, ‘Xiaxia, this is your Grandpa Qiu.'”
“Ji Xia obediently called out, ‘Grandpa Qiu.'”
“The Alpha nodded slightly, his face benevolent.”
“The few lawyers waiting outside were quickly invited in, and document after document was handed to Ji Xia.”
“Lawyer A: ‘Mr. Ji, this is the document for the transfer of 13% of the shares of Fu’s Group under Mr. Fu Xuan’s name, currently valued at 70 billion. Please sign here. Until the heir reaches the age of 18, all dividend income from the shares will be transferred to your name.'”
“Lawyer B: ‘Mr. Ji, this is the document for the transfer of 7% of the shares of Fu’s Group under Mr. Jiang Yishao’s name, as well as the transfer deed for 10% of Jiang’s Group shares. Currently valued at 60 billion. Please sign here. Similarly, until the heir reaches the age of 18, all dividend income from the shares will be transferred to your name.'”
“Lawyer C:…”
“Seeing Ji Xia still in a daze, Jiang Yishao urged, ‘Sign quickly, Xiaxia. It’s all for the baby.'”
“‘But…'”
“Ji Xia said, ‘I want the baby, it’s not for this…'”
“Grandma Qiu smiled and said, ‘We know. This is what we want to give the baby. We hope the baby can grow up happily in the future.'”
“Ji Xia finally couldn’t resist the elders and spent the whole afternoon signing documents.”
“After signing the documents, he ate a little, felt tired, and lay down to sleep.”
“But he didn’t sleep soundly. In his dream, he instinctively wanted to look for his Alpha, but he couldn’t find him, and he started crying in his dream.”
“Jiang Yishao waited for a long time and finally got the scene he wanted. He immediately took out a high-definition camera and filmed Ji Xia. When Ji Xia was sobbing and calling for Mr. Fu, he directly pushed the camera close to Ji Xia’s mouth so the machine could record the sound clearly.”
“After filming, he quietly retreated from the room and sent the video to Fu Yuan.”
“Grandpa Jiang: ‘I need your pheromones. He packed a few worn clothes, and I’ve already sent someone to collect them!'”
“When Fu Yuan received the message, he was in the meeting room on the top floor of Fu’s Group, calling a meeting with his confidantes. After the Qiu family joined in, the situation was no longer one-sided, and he was planning to put further pressure on Fu Xuan and the Qiu family.”
“Fu Yuan stared at the video for three seconds, his slender fingers tapping to play it. The cold face of the Alpha grew even darker as he watched the video content.”
“His slender fingers quickly tapped on the screen. ‘Since you know he’s uncomfortable, give him back to me.'”
“Grandpa Jiang: If Xiaxia is willing to leave with you, I won’t stop him.”
“Fu Yuan’s face was frosty, and his wild pheromones were uncontrollably leaking out.”
“His confidantes were all silent, holding their breath and enduring the immense pressure without daring to make a sound.”
“After two tense minutes, the Alpha, whose expression was gloomy, pushed the back of his chair away and stood up, saying, ‘Take a break for half an hour, then continue!'”
“With that, he strode out of the conference room.”
“Returning to the rest room in his office, he changed out of the suit he was wearing and packed the one he hadn’t had time to send to the dry cleaners yesterday. When Jiang Yishao’s man arrived, he handed it over with a cold face.”
“Afterward, he returned to the meeting room to continue discussing how to exert pressure and make Ji Xia return obediently and beg him.”
“·”
“In the dream, Ji Xia sat on the steps downstairs of the shabby apartment building and cried. His body shrank, returning to the age of only five or six.”
“The sky was pitch black, with no moon or stars. The only light in the complex flickered, making a sizzling electrical sound.”
“The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of Ji Chengguo cursing coming from upstairs.”
“Ji Xia was extremely hungry, but he didn’t dare to go home. Ji Chengguo was drunk again, and he would definitely hit him if he saw him. Zheng Qiufang went to work, and the old lady next door went to the city to take care of her grandson. No one would care about Ji Xia.”
“Ji Xia huddled into a small ball and sat there crying.”
“He knew crying was useless, but the tears poured down. Because he had lost something very important, but Ji Xia couldn’t remember what he had lost. He knew it was very, very important, but he had lost it.”
“After crying for an unknown amount of time, Ji Xia heard footsteps. In the blink of an eye, a pair of leather shoes appeared beside him. He raised his red, swollen eyes from crying and saw Mr. Fu looking down at him.”
“Ji Xia was happy, but quickly became afraid again.”
“He shrank back, repeatedly saying sorry to Mr. Fu.”
“The Alpha didn’t say anything, just bent down and picked him up.”
“Ji Xia was wrapped in the familiar scent, and the trembling of his body slowly stopped. His small hands tightly hugged the man, and he called out ‘Mr. Fu’ very aggrievedly.”
“Ji Xia had a good sleep. When he woke up, he found himself clutching a suit jacket. The pheromones emanating from the jacket were very familiar, they were Mr. Fu’s.”
“Ji Xia buried his face in the jacket. The scent was very faint now, but he loved it so much.”
“It wasn’t until someone knocked on the door that Ji Xia pulled his face out, hastily folded the clothes, and got out of bed to open the door.”
“‘Young Master Ji, breakfast is ready. Madam Qiu would like you to come downstairs for breakfast.'”
“Ji Xia quickly washed up and went downstairs. He walked down the stairs a little too fast, scaring Grandma Qiu, who was reading on the sofa in the living room, into repeatedly telling him to slow down.”
“Grandma Qiu spoke earnestly to Ji Xia across the dining table, ‘Xiaxia, the first three months of pregnancy are a dangerous period. You can’t run like that anymore. What if you trip?'”
“Ji Xia meekly accepted the lecture, stating that he would be more careful in the future.”
“After breakfast, Ji Xia accompanied Grandma Qiu to read in the living room.”
“As a pure underachiever, Ji Xia had already tried very hard, but after reading for a short while, his eyelids felt heavy, and he yawned three times. He was a little worried. What if the baby was an underachiever like him in the future?”
“The substantial family assets given by the Fu and Qiu families might all be squandered…”
“Ji Xia frowned and started reading seriously again.”
“It’s never too late to mend the fold. He would read more now to make up for it.”
“Fifteen minutes later, a ‘slap’ sound. The book hit his face. Ji Xia, who was about to fall asleep, jolted and woke up instantly.”
“His ears were slightly red. He secretly glanced at Grandma Qiu. Seeing that Grandma Qiu hadn’t noticed him, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat up again, and continued reading.”
“Just as Ji Xia was becoming drowsy again, Jiang Yishao rushed back from outside, followed by a line of people carrying large bags containing professional outfits.”
“‘Xiaxia, look, isn’t it cute?'”
“Jiang Yishao took out a baby dinosaur onesie from an exquisite paper bag and shook it in front of Ji Xia. ‘Our little one will be the cutest baby in the world when wearing this.'”
“Ji Xia nodded repeatedly. It was indeed very cute.”
“Jiang Yishao said, ‘I went shopping today and bought a lot of baby necessities and clothes. The villa next door is idle anyway, so construction will start today to build a playground for the little one.'”
“Ji Xia said, ‘Granduncle, the baby is only two months old. And he won’t use that many things. Please don’t buy so much.'”
“Jiang Yishao directed the servants to take the baby supplies upstairs, then sat down next to Ji Xia and said, ‘We have to start preparing now, so we won’t be in a rush when the baby is born. This isn’t much. I only bought a little.'”
“Grandma Qiu said, ‘It’s true that we should prepare now. I’ll go shopping with you next time.'”
“Since Qiu Qinghe’s death, the Qiu and Fu families had been virtually estranged, but their relationship had slightly eased due to Ji Xia. Jiang Yishao hadn’t expected the Qiu family’s matriarch to proactively suggest going shopping together. Overjoyed, he said, ‘Okay, let’s go check out Hua Cheng in a couple of days. I heard they have many beautiful and cute baby clothes and toys there.'”
“Knowing he couldn’t stop them, Ji Xia lowered his head again, attempting to continue reading. He aimed to finish at least ten pages today.”
“‘Xiaxia.'”
“After setting a time with Madam Qiu, Jiang Yishao turned back to talk to Ji Xia.”
“Ji Xia looked up from his book.”
“Jiang Yishao said, ‘Granduncle is planning to arrange a blind date for you. Rest for a few more days, and once your body stabilizes, Granduncle will put the word out.'”
“‘Ah?'”
“Ji Xia widened his eyes in disbelief. ‘What blind date?'”
“Jiang Yishao blinked at him. ‘How can a family not have an Alpha father? The baby also needs the love of an Alpha father to grow up. You are so beautiful, so young, and you have a golden nugget in your belly. If Granduncle just hints at this news, the Alphas who want to marry you could circle the globe twice.'”
“Ji Xia was stunned. ‘But…'”
“Jiang Yishao: ‘No buts! It’s decided!'”
“.”
“Fu Yuan racked his brains to pressure his grandfather, hoping to force Ji Xia to return voluntarily.”
“But the old ginger is hotter than the new. Especially with the Fu and Qiu families joining forces. It was still somewhat challenging for him to deal with two former formidable business veterans alone. The situation was only slightly favorable, far from reaching his goal.”
“Just as Fu Yuan was planning a make-or-break move, he received the news that Ji Xia was going on blind dates.”
“The once skinny, country O, with the help of the baby in his belly, suddenly jumped onto the capital’s rich list, becoming a coveted new aristocrat.”
“According to the information collected by the assistant, no fewer than twenty young Alphas in the capital’s upper circles had already sent their personal information to the Jiang family’s military compound.”
“‘Click’ went the sound as Fu Yuan, who had finished reading the documents, snapped the pen in his hand.”
“He picked up his phone and called Jiang Yishao.”
“Fu Yuan said sternly, ‘Granduncle, what exactly are you trying to do?'”
“Jiang Yishao’s voice was cheerful. ‘Brother Xuan is almost unable to hold on. We won’t be able to protect Xiaxia and the baby. So we were thinking of finding an Alpha husband for Xiaxia, an Alpha father for the baby, to take good care of them.'”
“Fu Yuan almost squeezed the words out from between his teeth. ‘Granduncle, you never used to interfere in these matters.'”
“Jiang Yishao said, ‘Of course, it’s because Xiaxia is pleasing to my eye!'”
“After a pause, he continued, ‘That Third Young Master Chen, he’s about the same age as Xiaxia, and Xiaxia also seems quite pleased with him. I think they are a good match, so I’ll arrange for Xiaxia to meet him tomorrow. Mr. Fu, if you also want to see our Xiaxia, submit a blind date application first. Our Xiaxia will take a look, and if he agrees, you can meet and get to know each other.'”
“Fu Yuan: …………”
“Jiang Yishao reminded him, ‘Send the information to the Jiang family’s military compound, alright?'”
“‘Du du du—'”
“Fu Yuan listened to the dial tone, his hand gripping the phone trembling slightly.”
“It would take at least two months to crush the two old men, Fu and Qiu.”
“Fu Yuan’s dark eyes looked out at the bustling city through the window. In his mind, the scene from that night flashed: the little one’s pale face, sad eyes, and the trembling voice saying he wanted to leave.”
“He had to face a fact: during these two months, the little one might successfully go on a blind date and marry another Alpha.”
“The thought of this made the anger in Fu Yuan’s chest flare up. ‘Swoosh!'”
“He realized that compared to Ji Xia being pregnant with his child, Ji Xia marrying and having a child with another Alpha was more unacceptable and infuriating to him.”
“He absolutely could not let the little one marry someone else!”
“Fu Yuan pondered for a moment. Clearly, playing hardball wouldn’t work now. The little one was very well-behaved and obedient. If he met him and talked to him properly, he was confident he could bring him back!”
“The black luxury car sped on the road, quickly turning into the military compound. Unexpectedly, the car, which had always been able to pass unimpeded, was stopped right at the gate.”
“Fu Yuan lowered the car window and said, ‘I’m looking for Granduncle.'”
“The soldier in military uniform was stern. ‘No matter who you are looking for, please show your visiting card.'”
“Fu Yuan guessed this was another order from Granduncle, so he could only call again.”
“Jiang Yishao’s voice was flat. ‘A-Yuan, I’ll repeat myself. If you want to see Xiaxia, submit your information first. If Xiaxia agrees, then you can talk.'”
“Fu Yuan surrendered. ‘Granduncle, I know what I did by pressuring Grandpa was wrong. I’ll stop immediately.'”
“Jiang Yishao said, ‘A-Yuan, you need to apologize to Xiaxia, not us.'”
“Fu Yuan’s voice chilled. ‘He was the one who violated the agreement between us first.'”
“Jiang Yishao asked, ‘Then what do you want to say when you see Xiaxia?'”
“Fu Yuan fell silent.”
“Jiang Yishao repeated, ‘If you want to see Xiaxia, submit your blind date application. Otherwise, there’s no need for you to see each other again.'”
“With that, he hung up the phone.”
“The military compound was heavily guarded, with patrol soldiers at fixed times. Even forcing his way in was impossible.”
“Fu Yuan was helpless. He could only turn the car around with a dark face and leave.”
“The next afternoon, the sky was clear and the weather was fine. The early spring sun was warm.”
“Ji Xia sat at the white iron art table in the garden, looking bewildered. He kept stirring the coffee in his cup, feeling a little constrained. Opposite him sat a handsome young man in his twenties with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a very upright appearance.”
“This was the blind date partner Granduncle had picked for him yesterday, Third Young Master Chen.”
“After Granduncle suggested the blind date, Ji Xia actually refused. He felt he didn’t need an Alpha’s care. He could raise the baby alone.”
“But Granduncle felt that Ji Xia had met too few excellent Alphas, and meeting more would be beneficial to him. Besides, meeting wouldn’t hurt; if he didn’t like them, he wouldn’t interact.”
“Ji Xia couldn’t argue with Granduncle and reluctantly agreed to the meeting.”
“‘Hello, my name is Chen Chu, the Chu from the state of Chu. I’m 21 years old, 1.82 meters tall, and my hobbies are various sports and music. I’m currently a third-year university student, majoring in finance. I’ll work at my family’s company after graduation. My grades are excellent, and my future goal is to become a financial tycoon!'”
“Third Young Master Chen sat upright and introduced himself very seriously.”
“He was forced into this blind date by his family, and he was originally quite annoyed. When he heard that the blind date was also expecting a baby, he became even more furious.”
“How could a promising young man like him marry an Omega who was already pregnant? Even if they were rich, it wasn’t acceptable.”
“On the way here, he had thought of several plans to make the Omega dislike him. As long as he wasn’t chosen, this farce would end.”
“He walked into the garden behind the villa with a nonchalant air, followed by a servant. He was about to curse the servant to show his volatile temper, but the moment he saw the little O, he swallowed the words he had prepared.”
“He was too beautiful and too cute!”
“The little O’s features were overly delicate, and he was wearing a white hooded sweater with a carrot print. When he saw the Alpha approaching, he stood up, grabbing the hem of his clothes, appearing uneasy and constrained.”
“His clean, bright eyes nervously darted around, like a little pet rabbit, making people want to protect him and, at the same time, want to tease him.”
“He felt that marrying an Omega like this wouldn’t be bad. So what if he was a step-dad? He would take good care of his wife and child.”
“Ji Xia hesitated for a moment and then, like Chen Chu, introduced himself. ‘My name is Ji Xia, I’m 18 years old, 1.76 meters tall. I’m a baker…’ At this point, Ji Xia felt he had nothing else to introduce.”
“Chen Chu waited for a while. Seeing that the Omega didn’t say anything more, he lightly coughed to break the silence.”
“The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward. Chen Chu cleverly changed the subject and started talking about some interesting things in college.”
“Ji Xia pricked up his ears and listened carefully.”
“He naturally had a sense of admiration for highly educated people, thinking the other person was super amazing.”
“Chen Chu was cheerful, and his conversation was witty and humorous. Ji Xia was quickly drawn into his topics.”
“When he heard something funny, he couldn’t help but curve his eyes, occasionally interjecting a word or two. The constraint and awkwardness between the two slowly disappeared, and the atmosphere became relaxed and lively.”
“Jiang Yifei sat in the room, controlling a small drone and waiting.”
“When the atmosphere between the two people on the blind date gradually improved, he immediately started filming, capturing moments of their pleasant conversation. He even deliberately chose some tricky angles to make the originally normal conversation seem ambiguous.”
“After filming, he spent some time selecting satisfactory photos, then packaged them and sent them directly to Fu Yuan.”
“Grandpa Jiang: [Photo] [Photo] [Photo] [Photo]”
“Grandpa Jiang: Don’t they look good together, Xiaxia? Xiaxia likes him a lot too.”
“Grandpa Jiang: A few more meetings, and they’ll be able to register their marriage soon!”
“Fu Yuan’s mood was irritable after returning yesterday, feeling helpless. To relieve his stress, he worked all night and finally regained his composure. But after looking at his phone, the anger that had just subsided flared up again with even greater intensity.”
“He clicked on the images, flipping through them one by one. Looking at the little O in the photos, smiling with curved eyes, his first reaction was that he had gotten thinner. His second was anger.”
“He folded his arms, leaned back in his office chair, and pondered with lowered eyes for a long time.”
“Finally, as if compromising, he released the tension in his body and let out a sigh.”
“He moved the mouse, opened a document, and pulled up a data entry form.”
“·”
“Ji Xia chatted with Chen Chu all afternoon, really enjoying listening to the young Alpha talk about interesting things in school. When they parted, Chen Chu hoped to exchange contact information, but Ji Xia refused.”
“The young Alpha, like a frustrated large dog, asked Ji Xia if he could see him again. Ji Xia didn’t know how to respond and hurried back to the villa.”
“As soon as he entered the living room, he was interrogated by Granduncle.”
“‘Chatting so happily, was the blind date successful?!'”
“Ji Xia’s cheeks were slightly flushed. He said, ‘No. We just talked.'”
“Jiang Yishao looked at him and said after a moment, ‘So you’re not satisfied.’ He shook the thick stack of blind date information in his hand. ‘It’s okay. Granduncle will help you choose slowly. Come here!'”
“Ji Xia pursed his lips and still couldn’t help but say, ‘Granduncle, I actually… really don’t want to date, and I don’t really want to get married…'”
“Jiang Yishao raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, ‘Is that what you really think?'”
“Ji Xia nodded decisively.”
“Jiang Yishao pulled out a piece of information from the stack, drawing out his words. ‘That’s a shame! This is a piece of information that just arrived. The conditions in all aspects are very good. The head of Fu’s Group, handsome and rich, and also the baby’s biological father.'”
“Ji Xia was stunned, with a look of disbelief. ‘Is it Mr. Fu?'”
“Jiang Yishao handed him the information. ‘See for yourself.'”
“Ji Xia took the information and read it carefully. It was indeed Mr. Fu, with two full-body photos at the back.”
“Ji Xia was still in a state of shock and incredulity. After a while, he finally asked, ‘Why did Mr. Fu also submit his information?'”
“Grandma Qiu, who had been silent, had a trace of joy in her voice. She said, ‘Of course, he wants to marry Xiaxia.'”
“Ji Xia’s first reaction was that it was impossible. Mr. Fu had emphasized to him many times that he wouldn’t get married. Ji Xia thought Mr. Fu wanted to take advantage of the meeting to make him abort the baby.”
“Ji Xia’s expression immediately became very poor again.”
“Jiang Yishao asked, ‘Xiaxia, do you want to meet him? The decision is yours.'”
“Ji Xia slightly lowered his eyelids and shook his head, saying, ‘No.'”
“Madam Qiu wanted to say something but was stopped by a look from Jiang Yishao.”
“Jiang Yishao pulled Ji Xia to sit on the sofa. He placed Fu Yuan’s information at the bottom. ‘You don’t want to meet this one, so let’s pick another. There are so many, you can choose whichever you like.'”
“Ji Xia listened absentmindedly as Granduncle introduced the information of the Alphas on each sheet, his mind entirely focused on Mr. Fu. Until he saw Jiao Mubai’s photo.”
“Ji Xia was surprised. ‘Didn’t he… didn’t he get married? To Fu Su.'”
“Jiang Yishao sneered. ‘They just divorced yesterday.'”
“Ji Xia: ?”
“Jiang Yishao: ‘To marry you!'”
“Ji Xia: …………”
“Jiang Yishao: ‘Xiaxia, you are now a rich man worth billions! The shares you own in Fu’s and Qiu’s Groups are on par with A-Yuan. You don’t have to be afraid of anyone.'”
“Ji Xia didn’t have much sense of reality about these things. He just nodded.”
“Jiang Yishao patted him on the shoulder and said, ‘It’s time for dinner. Let’s eat first, and then we’ll choose slowly.'”
“The dishes on the dinner table were all Ji Xia’s favorites, but since that night, Ji Xia’s appetite hadn’t been good. He managed to eat a little, then excused himself, saying he was a bit tired, and went upstairs to his room.”
“Madam Qiu watched Ji Xia’s back disappear up the stairs, sighed, and asked, ‘A-Yuan has compromised, why don’t you persuade Xiaxia to see him? Xiaxia hasn’t been eating or sleeping well for half a month, and he’s lost a lot of weight.'”
“Jiang Yishao said, ‘The timing isn’t right yet. Letting A-Yuan hang on for a few more days isn’t a bad thing. Let Xiaxia meet a few more people so A-Yuan can clearly see how important Xiaxia is in his heart. Besides, after that night, Xiaxia is clearly very afraid of A-Yuan. Give him a little more time.'”
“Madam Qiu remained silent.”
“Jiang Yishao said, ‘This time, we absolutely won’t repeat the same mistakes. The young couple must be happily reconciled.'”
