After Clinging to a Big Shot, the Pitiful Omega Got Pregnant - Chapter 7

Ji Xia, holding a little yellow duck swimming ring, crosses a bridge to the outdoor pool of the adjacent villa. He sees a powerful figure swimming like a fish, moving very fast. He watches for a while, his heart sinking. He knows he can’t beat Fu Yuan.

The man in the water notices Ji Xia on the shore. He swims to the edge of the pool, takes off his goggles, and gets out. The Alpha’s features are still sharp, and his gaze is indifferent. It sweeps over Ji Xia’s ankles and then lands on the little yellow duck swimming ring. Ji Xia’s eyes follow a drop of water from the man’s hair, down his handsome cheek, lingering on his eight-pack abs, and finally stopping at his beautifully defined merman line. Thinking of his own slender frame and soft belly, Ji Xia feels a pang of envy.

“What are you here for?” Fu Yuan takes a towel, drapes it over himself, and drinks from a bottle of mineral water.

Ji Xia stammers, “I want… to race you.” He originally wanted to say “learn to swim,” but seeing the sad expression of Doctor Chen in his mind, he changes his words.

Fu Yuan asks, “Race what?”

Ji Xia hugs the swimming ring and says, “Swimming.”

Fu Yuan replies, “Hmm? Race me with this little duck?”

Ji Xia’s ears turn red, but since the words are out, he decides to go for it. He asks, “Are you scared?”

Fu Yuan’s mouth curls into a slight smile, his eyes filled with a smirk.

A shiver runs down Ji Xia’s neck. His voice softens as he says, “If I win, you have to agree to let me stay. If you win, then… you can punish me however you want.”

Fu Yuan repeats his words, “However I want?”

Thinking of Fu Yuan’s methods of punishment, the redness from Ji Xia’s ears spreads to his neck, but he can’t back down now. He nods and says, “Yes!”

Fu Yuan says, “Alright! You start.”

Ji Xia doesn’t hesitate. He puts on the swimming ring, jumps into the pool, shouts “Go!” and immediately starts flailing his limbs, paddling desperately forward in a comical and pathetic manner.

But he hasn’t gone far when Fu Yuan has already gracefully swum a full lap, his strokes elegant, like a prince from the deep sea in a fairy tale.

The outcome of the race is no surprise.

Ji Xia climbs out of the pool, panting, and lies on the ground for a bit. He asks in a low voice, “Mr. Fu, do you… want to punish me now?”

Fu Yuan looks down at him from above and asks, “Are you so eager for punishment?”

Ji Xia asks, “If I’m not eager, can you not punish me?”

Fu Yuan’s eyes darken slightly, “No. The result was a foregone conclusion.”

Ji Xia’s fingers fiddle with the swimming ring as he mutters softly, “You have to try, even if the result is obvious.”

Fu Yuan says, “Stupid.”

Ji Xia’s face flushes. He thinks, in Mr. Fu’s eyes, he must be seen as a gluttonous, sleepy, useless fool. But he still has time to change this image, and he will work hard. He pauses, then asks, “Can the punishment be a little spanking on the hands?”

Fu Yuan asks, “Where was I going to hit you originally?”

Ji Xia: …

He doesn’t understand why Mr. Fu is asking him, but he honestly answers, “The butt.”

Fu Yuan: …

He says coldly, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. I don’t have that kind of hobby.”

Ji Xia breathes a sigh of relief, holds out his hand, palm up. “Then a little spanking on the hands?”

Fu Yuan says, “My punishment isn’t that simple.”

Ji Xia is stunned and asks anxiously, “Then what… what is your punishment?”

Fu Yuan says, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

The Alpha’s expression is cold when he says this, with no emotion in his eyes.

There’s nothing more terrifying than this kind of uncertainty. Ji Xia is frightened. His cat-like big eyes widen. He hastily puts on his T-shirt, hugs the yellow duck swimming ring, and trots behind Fu Yuan. “Mr. Fu, can you please reveal a little bit about what the punishment is? Just a little bit.”

Fu Yuan walks on, cold and merciless, ignoring Ji Xia.

Ji Xia’s heart sinks. Mr. Fu’s expression is so cold; he’s in big trouble. He reaches out and lightly pinches the corner of Mr. Fu’s clothes. Trotting makes him a little breathless, and his voice softens. “Mr. Fu, please reveal just a little bit, just a little.”

Fu Yuan doesn’t stop. His voice is indifferent. “Flirting won’t work.”

Ji Xia wants to say he wasn’t flirting. Just then, the system’s electronic voice rings in his head again.

“Congratulations to the host, Boss’s affection +2.”

This time, Ji Xia is truly convinced the system is malfunctioning. Mr. Fu clearly doesn’t want to talk to him at all.

Ji Xia chases after him the whole way, his face red from running, but Fu Yuan still doesn’t tell him what the punishment is.

He returns to the attic, feeling uneasy. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he sits on the sofa and takes out his phone.

When Doctor Chen bought him the swimming ring and trunks, he also bought many other things, including clothes, shoes, and a phone. Ji Xia didn’t want to accept them, and Doctor Chen became sad, saying he would have to throw them away because no one else could wear them.

Ji Xia opens the WeChat chat page and sends a message to his only friend on the list, Doctor Chen, telling him about the failed race, how Fu Yuan didn’t spank his butt, and that there would be another punishment.

sun: Doctor Chen, do you know what Mr. Fu’s punishment will be? Will he kick me out?

Ji Xia stares at the chat box for a while but gets no reply. Doctor Chen had said he was busy and might be slow to respond. He waits a little longer, then an auntie comes up and calls him down for dinner.

After a busy afternoon, Ji Xia is hungry again. Thinking of the delicious food, he grabs his phone and heads downstairs.

Doctor Chen’s medical skills are excellent. After a massage, the bruises have quickly disappeared, and it doesn’t hurt at all.

Ji Xia practically jogs down the stairs. At the bottom, he meets Fu Yuan, who is also coming down. His cheerful little trot immediately stops, and he follows slowly behind the Alpha.

A strong, invisible pressure emanates from Mr. Fu, making Ji Xia feel timid.

Just then, the phone in his hand vibrates, and a rock-and-roll ringtone abruptly breaks the silence.

Ji Xia is startled and almost drops the phone. Fu Yuan in front of him stops, turns, and holds out his long, well-defined hand. “Give it to me.”

Ji Xia doesn’t hesitate for a second and obediently hands over his phone.

Fu Yuan glances at the incoming voice call on the screen, swipes his slender finger, and answers the call.

“Xiaxia, you don’t need to worry. No matter what Fu Yuan wants to punish you with, just cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang yourself. I guarantee you’ll be fine.”

“Chen… Xi.”

Ji Xia hears Mr. Fu say these two words and feels a chill down his spine. Although the tone is still the same old indifferent one, he feels it’s somehow different from usual.

Having just finished with a patient and now free, Chen Xi hears the icy voice filled with a hint of menace. His scalp tingles, and he immediately changes the subject, laughing, “President Fu, how have you been? You haven’t come for a check-up in a few months.”

Fu Yuan: “Doctor Chen should mind his own business. You don’t need to worry about mine. If you’re too idle recently, I can find something for you to do.”

Chen Xi immediately backs down. “President Fu, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have incited the little O. I won’t dare to do it again.”

Fu Yuan: …

He is about to hang up when Chen Xi’s voice rings out again. “Oh, by the way, Zhao Kuo is back in the country today. I’ve organized a get-together. President Fu, would you be so kind as to grace me with your presence tomorrow night and lend me some support?”

Fu Yuan is cold and ruthless. “No.”

Chen Xi: “It won’t be for nothing. Didn’t you want to adopt that little thing? Bring him along tomorrow. I’ll help you give him a thorough evaluation, inside and out, to see if he’s genuinely foolish or just pretending.”

Fu Yuan: “No.”

Although he only says one word, with their years of friendship, Chen Xi immediately understands the meaning. “Alright, alright, you don’t want to adopt him. But still, bring him over. After all, he was sent by someone named Jian.”

Fu Yuan glances at Ji Xia, falls silent for a moment, and says, “No need.”

Chen Xi is surprised by his refusal. He only sighs and says, “Alright then. Be careful. The little O’s first heat period will be in about a month. Also, Mr. Fu, please settle the bill for the things I bought for the little one.”

Fu Yuan says nothing and hangs up the voice call.

The screen returns to the message Ji Xia sent to Chen Xi.

Ji Xia feels a strange tingle in his heart after being looked at by Mr. Fu for no reason. Seeing that Mr. Fu has now seen the message he sent to Doctor Chen, he feels that things are even more dire.

He purses his lips, trying to change the subject. “The nickname ‘sun’ was given to me by Doctor Chen. He said Ji Xia means summer, and thinking of summer makes him think of the sun. The little sun picture for the profile photo was also given by Doctor Chen…”

Ji Xia’s voice gradually fades as he speaks, because Mr. Fu’s expression is getting colder and colder. Then, he distinctly hears the robotic electronic voice announce, “Warning, Boss’s affection -1.”

Fu Yuan descends the stairs, with Ji Xia right behind him.

He wants to ask for his phone back but doesn’t dare. In the living room, Fu Yuan hands the phone to Butler Xu and tells him to dispose of it.

“Mr. Fu.”

Ji Xia nervously speaks up, “Can you please give me back my phone? It was a very valuable gift from Doctor Chen.”

“Warning, Boss’s affection -1.”

Ji Xia bites his lip, his voice becoming a little more forceful, “Please give it back to me.”

Fu Yuan’s eyes darken. He motions with his head, and Butler Xu returns the phone to Ji Xia.

With his phone back, Ji Xia feels the tight string in his heart relax, but the next second, it tightens again because he has made Mr. Fu unhappy.

Mr. Fu’s face is colder than usual. Ji Xia doesn’t dare to speak. He can only follow behind the Alpha like a little tail, walking into the dining room.

Butler Xu leads Ji Xia to the other end of the dining table, which can seat eighteen people. He and Fu Yuan sit facing each other.

The auntie starts serving the dishes, and the aroma of food instantly fills the entire restaurant.

There are delicious crabs, crispy roasted duck, and several other dishes that Ji Xia can’t name but look incredibly tasty.

However, the delicious food is a bit far from him.

He swallows, his eyes wide with desire. A small bowl of rice, a small plate of greens, and a small plate of braised pork knuckles are placed in front of him.

Fu Yuan starts eating with his chopsticks, his movements elegant and his demeanor noble.

Ji Xia finds it unbelievable that someone could eat in such a pleasing manner.

He watches for a while, then imitates Fu Yuan’s movements, chewing slowly and carefully.

Although there are many mouth-watering delicacies on the table, Ji Xia is content with his small portion.

With greens and meat, it’s much better than what he ate at home.

He feels guilty that he has made Mr. Fu unhappy, but Mr. Fu is still treating him so well.

On the other side of the table, Butler Xu puts the disassembled crab meat into a small bowl and places it next to Fu Yuan. Suddenly, he hears the Alpha say in a low voice, “The punishment is to teach him a lesson.”

Butler Xu says, “Yes. But young master Ji is still growing. He’ll probably be hungry tonight.”

Fu Yuan pauses for a moment, then says, “Prepare him my least favorite dessert. It’s the punishment for losing the race.”
