After Clinging to a Big Shot, the Pitiful Omega Got Pregnant - Chapter 53

After returning to his bedroom, Ji Xia threw himself onto the bed, burying his head in the clothes.

The clothes piled on his bed were ones that Mr. Fu had sent over one after another during this period.

The Alpha’s pheromone scent on the clothes was very faint now, which he could originally tolerate, but after seeing Mr. Fu’s photo just now, such a faint smell could not satisfy him.

He missed Mr. Fu so much.

Ji Xia’s nose felt a little sore. He burrowed hard, turning the clothes into a nest, and hiding his whole body inside. Only then did he feel a little better.

Grandpa Xiao said these clothes were specifically sent by Mr. Fu because an Omega needs an Alpha’s pheromones during pregnancy. Grandpa Xiao said Mr. Fu liked him in his heart, and that night was just an emotional breakdown. He hoped Ji Xia could forgive him.

Ji Xia didn’t actually think Mr. Fu did anything wrong. They signed a contract, and it was clearly written on the contract that pregnancy and childbirth were forbidden.

He was the one who made the mistake, and selfishly wanted to keep the baby.

Moreover, Ji Xia didn’t think Mr. Fu liked him. If Mr. Fu truly liked him, why wouldn’t he want their baby? He and Mr. Fu were only casual partners.

Ji Xia felt that he was very bad. Mr. Fu was so good to him, yet he had disobeyed Mr. Fu.

But he couldn’t give up the baby. Ji Xia couldn’t quite explain it, but he knew that if Mr. Fu had really dragged him to the hospital that night, he would hate Mr. Fu.

Although it was unreasonable; he was clearly the one who made the mistake.

But he was just that bad. He would hate him and would be unable to forgive Mr. Fu.

He was too petty.

These past few days, Ji Xia always thought of the little golden fish that swam into his belly in his dream. He felt that the baby was giving him a dream message.

The little fish was so beautiful, and he liked the baby in his belly even more.

He would definitely protect the baby well and absolutely not let anything happen to the baby.

Ji Xia curled up in the nest made of clothes, thinking about a lot of random things, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

At the same time, in the CEO’s office of the Fu Group.

CEO Fu, who hadn’t been home and hadn’t slept well for several days, was still staying in the office tonight. To distract himself, he buried himself in piles and piles of work.

It wasn’t until nearly midnight that he pinched the bridge of his nose and picked up his phone to check.

However, there were no messages or calls on his private phone. The materials he had sent out were like a stone sinking into the sea, without making any waves. Fu Yuan believed that Grandpa Xiao must not have told Ji Xia, otherwise, how could the little thing refuse to see him?

For the first time, he was inconsiderate and called an elder in the middle of the night.

The person who answered the phone was Fu Xuan, who immediately scolded his grandson unceremoniously. After that, he handed the phone to Jiang Yishao, who had been woken up.

Jiang Yishao listened to Fu Yuan’s question and sent him a recording. “I showed your materials to Xia Xia right away. It’s Xia Xia who doesn’t want to see you.”

After listening to the recording, Fu Yuan was silent.

After a moment, he asked, “Did he take a liking to the third young master of the Chen family?”

Jiang Yishao did not deliberately provoke him, saying, “No. He didn’t even leave his contact information.”

Fu Yuan’s tense shoulders had just relaxed slightly when he heard the person on the other side continue, “Xia Xia doesn’t seem satisfied. But it doesn’t matter, we’ll see the eldest young master of the Liu family tomorrow. He has a master’s degree from overseas, and he’s handsome. Xia Xia will definitely like him.”

Fu Yuan frowned slightly, his voice cold enough to freeze. “He doesn’t want to see me, but he agrees to see some eldest young master of the Liu family?!”

Jiang Yishao said lightly, “Yep.”

Fu Yuan said coldly, “No seeing!”

Jiang Yishao sighed softly and said, “A-Yuan, you need to change your attitude towards Xia Xia. Xia Xia is no longer the little country O you bought. He owns shares in the Fu Group and the Qiu Group that are almost equal to yours. He is no longer your property.”

Fu Yuan scoffed lightly. “I have plenty of ways to take those things away from him.”

Jiang Yishao asked, “And after taking them away? Abort his child, and then have him obediently stay by your side like before? A-Yuan, does it seem to you that Xia Xia is easy to manipulate, weak and easily bullied? But that night, Xia Xia clearly knew he couldn’t escape, yet he still ran, even willing to anger you. Why don’t you think carefully about why?”

There was silence on the line. After a moment, Jiang Yishao said earnestly, “Some things, once they happen, cannot be undone. Grandpa Xiao knows that your father and Dad made marriage an untouchable taboo in your heart. But you are not your father. Grandpa Xiao believes that you will definitely cherish the person by your side. A-Yuan, think seriously about what kind of relationship you want to develop with Xia Xia. Think it through, and Grandpa Xiao will definitely help you!”

Fu Yuan put down his phone and fell into a long silence.

The lights were off in the office. The glass curtain wall behind him flickered with the city’s dazzling neon lights, which were lively yet empty.

Ji Xia saw no less than twenty Alphas in a row for half a month. They varied in age and occupation, but without exception, they were all handsome, privileged, and the best of the best in Kyoto’s high society circle.

However, regardless of how eloquently they spoke or how hard they tried to please him, Ji Xia was uninterested. After the meetings ended, he politely refused their requests to add contact information and for a second invitation.

The Alphas were unwilling but dared not pursue, only leaving dejectedly like defeated roosters.

After lunch that day, Jiang Yishao came again with a new batch of names for Ji Xia to choose from.

This time, he no longer forced Ji Xia to see anyone but let Ji Xia decide for himself, one by one. Ji Xia was already reluctant to go on blind dates, and with the power to refuse, he naturally started shaking his head.

In the list, Ji Xia saw not only Zhao Kuo and Xu Ancheng but also the Alphas who had once surrounded him on the ship. The top Alphas who could casually deal with him with a flick of their finger were now one by one observing the rules of etiquette, eagerly showing off their wealth, hoping to gain his favor.

Ji Xia shook his head like a rattle.

He did not want to see any of them!

Jiang Yishao took away a file that Ji Xia had rejected.

Before he could clearly see the next one, Ji Xia wanted to shake his head, but his head suddenly stopped halfway. The Alpha’s cold eyebrows in the photo met his gaze, and Ji Xia’s heart began to pound.

Jiang Yishao observed Ji Xia’s expression for a while, slapped his thigh, and said, “Oops! How did this one get mixed in? Xia Xia clearly said he wouldn’t see him. Take it away, take it away!”

With that, he was about to snatch the paper.

Ji Xia’s hand, however, was faster and pressed down on the page. He lowered his head, his ear tips a little red.

Jiang Yishao couldn’t pull it away and asked, “Do you want to see him?”

Ji Xia shook his head.

Jiang Yishao said, “Then no seeing.”

But Ji Xia’s hand gripping the paper did not let go.

Jiang Yishao’s voice carried a hint of a smile as he asked, “Xia Xia, do you want to see A-Yuan after all?”

Ji Xia pursed his lips and reluctantly let go.

Jiang Yishao took the paper, muttering, “I should just burn this, lest it gets mixed in again. Our Xia Xia doesn’t want to see you!”

“Grandpa Xiao.”

Ji Xia suddenly called out.

Jiang Yishao looked up at him, his eyes smiling. “What is it?”

Ji Xia scratched his head and said, “N-nothing.”

Jiang Yishao: “Oh, then let’s continue picking.”

Grandma Qiu, who was next to them, couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up, “Xia Xia, do you want to see A-Yuan?”

Ji Xia pursed his lips and didn’t speak.

Grandma Qiu encouraged, “If you want to see him, then see him.”

Ji Xia was silent for a moment, his eyes slightly red, and said, “Mr. Fu will make me abort the baby.”

Jiang Yishao said, “Are you afraid A-Yuan will choke you again?! This is Grandpa Xiao’s territory. If that brat Fu Yuan dares to mess around, Grandpa Xiao will definitely beat him out with sticks.”

Ji Xia picked at his fingers, somewhat hesitant.

Jiang Yishao patted his shoulder and said, “Xia Xia, don’t be afraid. Since you want to see him, then see him. If A-Yuan is still insistent on having you abort the baby, then we won’t ever see him again.”

Ji Xia was silent for a while, then gently nodded.

The meeting was arranged for the next morning. Ji Xia woke up early and exchanged a little bunny hooded set from the system. He started looking forward to the meeting from eight o’clock.

Although the anticipation was mixed with fear, dread, and unease, Ji Xia was still very happy to be able to see Mr. Fu again.

The agreed time was ten o’clock. Ji Xia specially made a peach pie and was waiting by the wrought-iron garden table at nine-thirty.

As the time drew closer, the joy was slowly suppressed by unease and fear.

Ji Xia wanted to back out and cancel the meeting. But just as he stood up, intending to return to the villa, the Alpha’s tall figure had already appeared in the backyard.

Ji Xia had no choice but to sit back down. After the Alpha took his seat, he quickly looked up and scanned him.

When he saw the man’s dark, emotionless eyes, Ji Xia’s heart sank with a thump, and his chest felt a dull ache again. This was the first time he understood the emotion in Mr. Fu’s eyes: it was the look one gives a stranger.

Ji Xia desperately bit his lower lip to stop himself from crying.

He kept his head lowered, not saying a word, his fingernails digging hard into the back of his other hand.

Spring was getting warmer, and many flowers were blooming in the backyard. The sounds of insects and birds were lively.

However, in this isolated space, it was surprisingly quiet.

Jiang Yishao was closely monitoring the situation’s development from upstairs. Fu Yuan hadn’t told him what kind of relationship he wanted to develop with Ji Xia. From the moment he entered and saw Ji Xia, his expression had been very flat.

It was impossible to guess his thoughts; they could only wait and see.

Ji Xia thought that if he saw Mr. Fu again and saw the disgust in his eyes, he wouldn’t be able to bear it. But it turned out that seeing the cold, almost unfamiliar look in Mr. Fu’s eyes made him feel even more despair.

If he kept the baby, Mr. Fu would hate him. If he didn’t keep the baby, he would hate Mr. Fu.

The conflict between him and Mr. Fu was unsolvable, and there was no need to see each other again in the future.

Before Mr. Fu could say those words that would hurt him deeply, Ji Xia decided to escape first.

“I…”

“You…”

The two spoke almost simultaneously and then fell silent at the same time.

Ji Xia’s heart was beating violently. He wanted to escape right now, but hearing Mr. Fu’s voice made his body feel a little weak, and he lost the strength to stand up.

Fu Yuan’s gaze remained fixed on the Omega, never leaving him.

After a moment, he spoke, asking, “What did they all say when they came in?”

Ji Xia cautiously looked up and asked, “What?”

Fu Yuan explained more clearly. “Those people who came in for blind dates with you, what did they all say?”

Ji Xia didn’t understand why Mr. Fu asked this and answered honestly, “Usually a self-introduction. Then they talk about some of their future plans and so on…”

Fu Yuan lightly tapped his finger on the table, seemingly thinking about something.

Ji Xia’s voice gradually faded. He could sense that Mr. Fu was not very happy now. He was a little flustered and wanted to mend things to keep Mr. Fu from being unhappy.

Then he heard the man’s low voice from across the table.

“Fu Yuan, 30 years old, current CEO of the Fu Group.”
