I Found Myself Pregnant After Becoming An Omega 42

 

Chapter 42: The Ghost In People’s Hearts

 

In the living room, little Yu Zhou was held in Father He’s arms.

 

"Wahhh!"

 

He wrinkled his little face and howled twice. However, after howling, he found that there was no reaction from the middle-aged man, so he closed his mouth, blinked and looked at the person holding him, "Huh?"

 

He Xiong said with a straight face: "Boys don't-"

 

The minute Father He’s words came out, little Yu Zhou seemed to have received a signal. He raised his little head and started to cry "wahhhhhhh".

 

He Jiao, who was sitting nearby watching TV, glanced at them: "Dad, he doesn't want to listen to your lectures."

 

He Xiong said sternly: "He can clearly understand but refuses to listen. This attitude is so irritating!"

​

He Jiao leaned on the sofa and sighed lazily while snacking on cherries: "How old is he anyway? Why don't you just let him play by himself?"

 

Little Yu Zhou also kicked his legs and pointed his little finger at the small fenced area in the living room. His mouth let out "Ah Ah" twice.

 

It seemed like he was agreeing with He Jiao.

 

He Xiong was unmoved: "Since he was brought to me, I have to teach him well."

 

Next was a game of "if one cries, the other will be silent; if one does not cry, the other will start lecturing".

 

The living room was filled with a mixture of calm and soft sounds.

 

Ji Yu hid behind the wall, looking at the situation downstairs and found it quite amusing.

 

His eyes swept around little Yu Zhou’s body several times, and he was very sure that this child was living the good life here.

 

Ji Yu was relieved to see that the He family did not reject little Yu Zhou.

 

After leaning against the wall and looking for a long time, Ji Yu keenly felt someone coming from behind.

 

He turned around and saw it was He Zhou.

 

Ji Yu quickly took a step back, put a finger to his lips, and beckoned.

 

He Zhou raised his eyebrows and walked to the corner to take a peek.

 

Seeing his family interacting with the child, He Zhou instantly felt relieved. He turned back to Ji Yu and pointed his thumb in the direction of the front door, "Shall we leave now?"

 

Ji Yu nodded but then shook his head, his voice was very low, "Is there any other way out?"

 

"Not unless you jump out from the window."

 

Ji Yu: “…”

 

He paused for a moment, "... Show me how high the window is."

 

He Zhou chuckled, startling Ji Yu, who quickly put a trembling finger up to his mouth. “Shh.”

He Zhou simply grabbed the slender wrist and took Ji Yu back into the bedroom again.

 

After closing the door, the two of them could finally talk at a normal volume.

 

"Just say hello, it'll be okay." He Zhou said.

 

Ji Yu pointed at his face: "Are you sure?"

 

Even if he doesn't look in the mirror, Ji Yu knows that his face, ears, and eyes are definitely still red, especially since the “restlessness” inside of him hasn't completely passed yet.

 

He can't help but tighten his legs even when he's standing.

 

Who wouldn’t be able to pick up on his abnormal appearance?

 

Ji Yu shook his head, "No, I'd better jump out of the window."

 

He Zhou crossed his chest and looked down at him: "You don't want your legs anymore?"

 

Ji Yu waved his hand: "It's just the second floor. I just need some sort of rope."

 

His eyes wandered around and landed on He Zhou's bed, "Hm, the sheets aren’t a bad choice."

 

Seeing the seriousness on Ji Yu's face, He Zhou stopped smiling: "No, I can just call them and lure them away. Besides, wouldn't it be worse if the servants saw you jumping out of the window and it spread to my dad's ears?"

 

Ji Yu thought for a while, "Then if I wait a little longer, they won't always be downstairs, right?"

 

He Zhou spread his hands and sat down on the bed: "Can’t say for sure."

 

Patting the edge of the bed with his big hand, he looked at Ji Yu, "Sit down and wait."

 

Ji Yu’s legs were already weak, so he didn’t decline and simply walked over and sat down.

 

He moved his legs around comfortably, adjusted his sitting position, and breathed a sigh of relief.

 

He Zhou raised his eyes and looked at the slender back. After a moment of silence, he said, "You are too thin."

 

The cotton shirt clings to Ji Yu’s body, and when he bends over, his spine can clearly be seen, like stringed pearls, making people want to reach out and touch him from top to bottom.

 

Ji Yu bent over and held his chin with one hand.

 

He yawned, "I've been eating more every meal, and I'm also building muscles."

 

He Zhou paused: "Build muscles?"

 

"Yes." Ji Yu looked at the bed behind him. Even if He Zhou was lying on it, there were still tons of room left.

 

He thought for a while, found a corner position and laid down. The body sank into the soft quilt, and the whole body was instantly relaxed.

 

It was so comfortable that he couldn't help but exclaim, "I want eight-pack abs, and hard biceps."

 

He Zhou: "..."

 

He imagined in his mind Ji Yu's arms exerting force and the muscles on his fair body bulging out. After thinking about it for a moment, he frowned and didn't dare to think about it again.

 

After being silent for a while, He Zhou said, "Isn’t eight-packs a bit too much?"

 

After waiting for a while and receiving no response, He Zhou looked up and found that Ji Yu had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

 

Ji Yu tilted his head sideways, his chest rising and falling steadily.

 

His lips are slightly opened, his long eyelashes tremble faintly, with thin eyelids, a light luster can be seen on them. From the corner of his eyes, the moist blush from the shower has not faded, and it looks like he has just cried…

 

As if someone had bullied him severely.

 

He Zhou didn't know why this idea came to his mind. It was probably—

 

He raised his hand and lightly rubbed the soft cheek with his fingertips. It felt tender and easy to touch.

 

—Probably from something at the bottom of his heart.

 

 

---

 

 

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Ji Yu woke up from his dream. He had slept for three full hours.

 

Glancing at the sky outside, he jumped up from the bed and looked around.

 

He Zhou was not beside him, and he was the only one in the bedroom.

 

Ji Yu took out his cell phone and wanted to dial He Zhou's number without thinking. However, upon opening his address book, he realized that he didn't have He Zhou’s number at all, and all their contact was through WeChat.

 

He had no choice but to switch to WeChat and click on voice call.

 

It only rang for two seconds before the call was hung up.

 

The next second, the door was pushed open, and the person he was looking for appeared at the door carrying a plate.

 

Ji Yu looked at He Zhou: "I fell asleep."

 

He Zhou nodded: "Yes."

 

"Why didn't you call me?"

 

He Zhou's tone was calm: "I fell asleep too."

 

Ji Yu: "..."

 

He watched in silence as He Zhou placed plates of food on a nearby table, neatly arranging each dish. When his eyes fell on the bowl of white rice, his stomach growled impatiently.

 

He Zhou smiled: "Let's have dinner first."

 

Ji Yu walked over and sat down, looking at the food on the table blankly.

 

After looking at it for a while, he looked up at He Zhou: "I think I'm done for."

 

"Why do you say that?"

 

Ji Yu was very hungry, but he wanted to sigh more than eat.

 

"Your dad must think I'm a very shameless person."

 

For people like Ji Yuan Sheng, after finishing his investigation by October 3^rd, Ji Yu plans to leave and never come back. Thus, there is no need to have a good relationship with Ji family, and it doesn’t matter if they have a bad impression of him.

 

But as for the He family...

 

In the past, the original “Ji Yu” had cuckolded the He family’s heir, and now the current Ji Yu had depended on He Zhou shamelessly.

 

First, he dropped off little Yu Zhou, and the entire He family ended up having to take care of his child. Then, he brazenly stayed in He Zhou's bedroom all afternoon, even making He Zhou serves him dinner.

 

Ji Yu sighed: "It's over."

 

He Zhou smiled: "It's okay, Dad doesn’t know that this is your dinner. I told the servant that I needed a night snack."

 

Ji Yu: "There are no three hundred taels of silver here¹. But I don't blame you. It's my fault. Who made me fall asleep? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat together?"

 

"No, you can eat."

 

At this time, there was no point in sighing anymore. Ji Yu picked up the chopsticks and the bowl, intending to eat his fill before any more talks.

 

However…

 

Ji Yu swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at He Zhou and said, "Why are you always staring at me?"

 

"Just wanted to confirm something."

 

"Huh?"

 

He Zhou smiled: "It's been confirmed. I stare anymore. You can eat."

 

After saying that, He Zhou really did stop talking and walked to the window, leaving Ji Yu sitting there alone with question marks on his head.

 

Ji Yu didn't bother to think too much.

 

After eating, he thanked the host and prepared to leave.

 

This time the living room downstairs was quiet, He Xiong and He Jiao were not there, and Ji Yu left very smoothly.

 

Since it was getting late, Ji Yu went back on his own, accompanied by a driver.

 

Watching as the car disappeared from the premise, He Zhou finally looked away.

 

When he turned around, he met a face.

 

He Zhou was stunned: "Dad?"

 

He Xiong walked out of the shadow behind a tree: "He's gone?"

 

He Zhou nodded: "Yes."

 

"Why didn't he take the child back with him?"

 

He Zhou hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "He doesn't want Ji Yuan Sheng to see the child."

 

He Xiong snorted coldly: "He doesn't dare…"

 

After a pause, Father He immediately changed his words, "But you dare. You sure are brave, you dare to put this child right under my nose. You allowed him to stay here to poke at my heart!”

 

He Zhou: "The room I arranged for him is quite remote."

 

After finishing speaking, He Zhou paused, hesitating whether to expose his father, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go.

 

"Then I'll arrange for him to live in the small courtyard behind the house."

 

He Xiong glared at his son: "That child is a guest here, how can you let him live in such a remote place? Is this what I taught you?"

 

He Zhou: "...No."

 

"It's good that you know."

 

He Xiong said with a straight face, "This afternoon, Ji Yuan Sheng's people came by. He invited our family to attend the opening ceremony of his shopping mall."

 

"I know, he also told me, but I didn't agree immediately."

 

He Xiong had a look of satisfaction on his face: "Ji Yuan Sheng, that old fox, stay away from him. I will send Liang Zhen to the opening ceremony on my behalf. Since I won’t go, neither you nor Jiao Jiao will go."

 

"Yes."

 

He Xiong turned to leave, then paused: "By the way, he also said that someone would be sent over on the 3rd to pick up the child."

 

He Zhou frowned: "He wants to take little Yu Zhou away?"

 

"That's his grandson, after all. What's wrong with wanting to take his grandson back?"

 

Xue Zong's words still lingered in his mind, and He Zhou thought for a moment, "We can’t let them take away little Yu Zhou."

 

"Why?"

 

He Zhou decided to tell the truth: "I went to see him today, and he gave me a very strange feeling, different from the previous times I saw him.

 

His attitude towards little Yu Zhou is also very strange. He seems to be very anxious to see the child, and he is also weirdly fixated on the matter of the child’s five-month pregnancy.

 

It is also because of this that Ji Yu handed the child to me, as he does not want Ji Yuan Sheng to have contact with the child. "

 

After he finished speaking, He Zhou thought his father would start asking questions, but he didn't expect his father would remain silent. Instead, his face sank, as if he was thinking.

 

Standing in silence for a long time, He Zhou waited for his father's answer. After what felt like an eternity, Father He finally responded.

 

"I understand."

 

He Zhou raised his eyebrows, that's it?

 

He Xiong added: "I have always heard rumors, but I don't know whether they are true or not."

 

"What rumors?"

 

He Xiong fell silent, raised his eyes, and decided to reveal something to his son: "Just the year before last, Ji Yuan Sheng became the major shareholder of Shunde Pharmaceutical, the largest pharmaceutical company in the country."

 

He Zhou said: "Yes, I know."

 

It’s all in the information obtained in his initial investigation of Ji Yuan Sheng.

 

He Xiong glanced at He Zhou: "His team has been studying genetic engineering. It's been more than two years, and it's about time the research resulted in something..."

 

 

—

 

 

On the other side, Ji Yu has arrived at Ji Mansion.

The journey was surprisingly smooth, with no traffic jams, and not even a single red light.

 

It took less than fifteen minutes from start to finish, which was really fast.

 

After getting out of the car, Ji Yu walked to the building where he lived according to the route in his memory. During the process, he also found a servant and asked about the location of his room.

 

He didn't meet any Ji family members along the way, making him feel happy and relaxed.

 

He just wanted to go back to the room, take a shower, and sleep. However, before he could reach his room, he heard the sound of quarreling.

 

Looking toward the source of the sounds, Ji Yu saw a door that was slightly open a crack.

 

The voices should be Xue Zong and Ji Heng.

 

"Stop laughing! Tell me, where did you go this afternoon?"

 

"I only did what Mr. Ji tells me to do."

 

"Heh, do you think I'm stupid? Did my father ask you to go and have sex with some tramp? Do you really think I can't smell that disgusting fishy taint of another Omega on you?"

 

Xue Zong was as calm as ever: "You’re thinking too much."

 

"I’m thinking too much?!" Ji Heng’s voice was shrill, "Okay, take off all your clothes. I want to see if your body is what you said it is - clean! Take it off, why don't you move? Are you afraid that I will expose you?"

 

There was no sound in the room, except for the occasional sound of clothes rustling against each other. It sounded like Xue Zong was really taking off his clothes.

 

Ji Yu frowned, he was not interested in this kind of drama at all.

 

He twisted his legs and bent his waist, intending to leave quietly, but unexpectedly, Ji Heng's voice suddenly exploded out of the room.

 

"Explain it! Explain to me what that is right now!"

 

"Is it Ji Yu? Huh? Is it Ji Yu?! When I was upstairs, I saw you talking to him!"

 

Ji Yu outside the door: "???"

 

What does this have to do with him?

 

"This is a mark left by boxing. It has nothing to do with Ji Yu, so don't think too much about it." Xue Zong's voice was still calm and steady.

 

"Don't think too much? We will be engaged the day after tomorrow, and here you are, running around having sex with other Omegas. And you dare tell me not to think too much?"

 

Ji Heng sneered, "I know it's Ji Yu, you don't need to say anymore. He removed his mark for you, right? And every time you went out before, it was always to meet up with him, right?"

 

The more Ji Yu listened, the more flabbergasted he became.

 

He couldn't bear it and walked over. He stretched out his hand, but before he could push the door open, he heard another sentence coming from inside.

 

"I'll give you another chance, otherwise—"

 

Ji Heng lowered his voice and threatened, "Don't blame me for ruining him!"

 

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows and took back his hand.

 

He stood there for a while, then walked lightly towards his room.

 

Inside the door, Xue Zong raised his eyes and glanced at the crack in the door, then quickly looked away.

 

He looked at Ji Heng with gentle eyes: "It's really not him. Don't think about it anymore. We will get married soon, and you will always be the only one in my heart."

 

As he spoke, he put his arms around Ji Heng's waist and brought the person into his arms, "Be good, be obedient, and don't make trouble."

 

Ji Mansion was designed to be extremely soundproofed, but apparently all it takes is a door slightly ajar for all kind of secrets to be spilling out.

 

Ji Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly as he continued to hear what shouldn’t be heard, even after reaching the door to his room.

 

After entering the room, he immediately closed the door and walked straight into the bathroom without looking at anything else.

 

As his pants were unbuttoned, and a wad of silk slid down his legs.

 

Ji Yu knelt down and frowned at the soaked handkerchief that had been crumped into a ball.

 

After picking it up and unrolling it, he found that it was not just one, but two handkerchiefs.

 

In a flash, Ji Yu suddenly thought of something.

 

He closed his eyes, clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

 

Fuck!!!
