I Found Myself Pregnant After Becoming An Omega 43
Chapter 43: Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth
The next day, Ji Yu slept until the
sun was shining high in the sky.
When he opened his eyes, he still felt
very tired.
Ji Yu had spent the entire night
tossing and turning, thinking about love and lust. He didn’t manage to fall
asleep until about three o'clock in the morning, and after he fell asleep, he
kept startling awake by strange dreams and nightmares. His overall sleep
quality was very poor.
Ji Yu looked at the ceiling with a
blank expression.
He stretched out his hand and rummaged
under the pillows. After a while, he finally found his phone, and opened it.
A text message appeared in the middle
of the screen—
[Third warning.]
Looking at the time, it was sent at eight
in the morning.
Sure enough.
Ji Yu pulled his lips and sneered
slightly.
Throwing the phone aside, he stretched
and sat up.
He slowly walked into the bathroom and
took off his pants.
There are still wet and sticky traces
on the handkerchief, but compared to yesterday's “flood” it was much better.
Although his body still felt sore and
tired, the “restlessness” is gone.
Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It
seemed that this situation did not require him to risk his life to buy feminine
pads.
How wonderful.
After taking care
of his lower half, Ji Yu brushed his teeth, then walked into the bedroom to get
his phone. He opened up WeChat, looked at the all-black profile picture for a
long time, and finally let out a minty-fresh sigh.
What is the
relationship between him and He Zhou now?
Friend?
Brother?
Or the pursuer
and the pursued?
How should they
get along next?
He had thought
about these questions all night but couldn't figure an answer.
His finger hovers over the [call]
button for a long time, but ultimately took it back.
After getting dressed, Ji Yu headed
downstairs to have breakfast.
Halfway down the stairs, his steps
paused for a moment, before continuing to walk towards the dining table.
"Morning." Ji Yu sat down on
a chair.
Xue Zong raised his head from his
computer, and smiled: "Good morning."
Standing next to Xue Zong, Ji Heng
gave a nasty look before picking up a shrimp dumpling and feeding it to Xue
Zong's mouth.
Xue Zong seemed a little helpless, but
he still accepted being fed.
Ji Yu lowered his head and
concentrated on eating breakfast.
He took out his phone and saw that it
was 10:15am.
It’s already late into the day, and
these two are just having breakfast now?
"You got up really late." Ji
Heng said with a smile on his lips.
Ji Yu: "Aren't you the
same?"
"Where did you go yesterday afternoon?"
Ji Yu raised his eyes and said
lightly: "Do I need to report to you?"
Before Ji Heng could retort, Xue Zong
stroked his back twice: "It’s ok."
Ji Heng frowned and glared at Xue
Zong: "What's ok?!"
Xue Zong didn't answer. He stood up,
straightened his clothes, closed his computer, and said to Ji Heng, "I've
finished eating. I still have things to do, so I’ll leave now. I'll be back in
the afternoon."
After speaking, he patted Ji Heng's
head and nodded to Ji Yu.
Ji Yu also nodded.
Xue Zong collected his things and
left, leaving Ji Heng sitting there with an ugly expression.
For the next few minutes, Ji Yu just
quietly ate breakfast, while Ji Heng silently stares at him from across the
table.
Ji Yu didn't feel any discomfort at
all and ate the delicious breakfast with gusto.
To help his body grow, Ji Yu have
adapted to eating a large amount of food at each meal. He also likes to watch
workout videos about muscle building while eating. Even if he turned down the
volume, the distinctive and rhythmic "one-two, one-two" still floated
into Ji Heng's ears.
Ji Heng's expression became visibly
darker, and his chest began to rapidly rise and fall. He gritted his teeth as
he spits out two words, "Ji Yu."
Ji Yu didn't even raise his head:
"Huh? Did this disturb you? Then I'll turn it down a little lower."
As he spoke, he
lowered the volume one level, then lowered his head and continued watching as
if there was no one else there.
Ji Heng:
"..."
Ji Heng took a
deep breath and was about to speak, when Ji Yu suddenly put down his chopsticks
and stood up: "I've finished eating. I have something to do, so I'll leave
first. You can eat slowly."
After saying
that, Ji Yu walked quickly out of the dining hall, and went up the stairs
without sparing Ji Heng a single glance.
Hearing the sound
of smashing dishes coming from behind him, Ji Yu smiled silently and felt
refreshed.
This morning's
threatening text message confirmed his guess last night.
The culprit
behind the blackmail was indeed Ji Heng. It seemed that he had always thought
that Xue Zong was having an affair with Ji Yu, and that deliberately removed He
Zhou’s mark just to seduce Xue Zong.
Simply ridiculous.
There was not a single trace of Xue
Zong in the life of the original Ji Yu. In fact, the original Ji Yu had never
seen Xue Zong ever since he left home when he was little boy.
With no point of suspicion, Ji Yu
couldn't figure out where Ji Heng's hostility and hatred comes from.
Moreover, the original Ji Yu was willing
to be completely marked by He Zhou, which was the equivalent of committing
himself to He Zhou wholeheartedly. After all, once marked, an Omega will be
unable to tolerate any intimacy with any other Alpha.
Then how could he possibly have an
affair with Xue Zong?
Unless...Xue Zong has a secret/unrequited
love for the original Ji Yu.
Back in the bedroom, Ji Yu thought for
a while and sent the information he’d just learned to He Zhou.
Within a few seconds, He Zhou replied
with a call.
Before picking up, Ji Yu decided to
get He Zhou’s phone number. They have always contacted via WeChat, so it's not
as convenient as calling each other directly.
He Zhou: "You
think it’s Ji Heng?"
Ji Yu:
"What's your phone number?"
Two voices
sounded at the same time, and both of them were stunned.
He Zhou: "I
will send it to you later."
Ji Yu:
"Yes."
Once again two
answers sounded together. After a moment of silence, they both ended up laughing.
With the sound of
laughter, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
The knot in Ji Yu’s heart suddenly
faded away, and he said in a casual tone: "I heard something at Ji Heng's
door last night. Apparently, Ji Heng and Xue Zong are about to get marry."
He Zhou hummed: "Hm, as expected.
It makes sense that Ji Yuan Sheng would want to marry Ji Heng to Xue Zong. What
else?"
"The two of them had a fight last
night. Ji Heng seemed to think that Xue Zong and I were having an affair. He
also thought that I was with Xue Zong yesterday afternoon, so he threw a huge
tantrum, during of which he vows to destroy me. Then, as soon as I got up this
morning, I received a new threatening text message. I concluded that the person
behind the scenes must be Ji Heng."
Ji Yu asked, "What should we do
next?"
He Zhou: "Leave this to me."
"By the way, Ji Yu, I have
something to tell you. My family will not go to the opening ceremony tomorrow,
and neither will little Yu Zhou. You can rest assured. You should also pay
attention to your own safety and stay away from Ji Yuan Sheng and Xue Zong.
After the ceremony is over, find an excuse to leave and call me, and I will come
pick you up."
"Okay, I understand."
Ji Yu paused, "Thank you."
The person on the other side fell silent for a bit before
replying: "You don't need to say thank you to me."
Ji Yu: "..."
The atmosphere became visibly stickier.
Ji Yu felt somewhat embarrassed. He
touched his ears, "I understand, so let's go with that plan. We'll see
what happens tomorrow. Well... then I'll hang up now-"
He Zhou’s voice suddenly sounded:
"You can't come over today?"
Ji Yu was stunned and looked at the
time: "No, it's too late now. I accidentally overslept. I'd better wait
until things are done before I go to your place."
"Then how do I explain to my dad the
gift you bought for him yesterday?"
"Just say you bought it."
The person on the
other side was silent for a while and then replied: "Ok, I'll contact you
if I need anything."
"Alright."
Finally hanging
up the phone call that almost spin out of control, Ji Yu let out a long sigh of
relief.
He walked to the
bed and sat down, frowning while staring out the window in a daze. After some
time, Ji Yu collapsed on the bed as if giving up, rolling around irritably.
Argh, so damn difficult!
It’s so hard to
deal with feelings!
Even memorizing
hundreds of sets of test questions was so much easier!
It was much more
suitable for him to be a loner!
Throughout the
afternoon, Ji Yu's mind was in a mess. In the end, after doing some test
questions, he managed to calm down.
Ji Yu didn't go
out all day, and didn't go downstairs to eat dinner. He just asked the servant
to bring the food to his room.
No one came to
see him during the entire day, and he somehow managed to get through it
smoothly.
As long as he
lasted one more day, he would be able to leave here forever.
Only…
Plans never seem
to keep up with changes.
On the day of the opening ceremony, the
entire Ji family gathered in the living room at eight o'clock.
Except for the stepmother, Wen Yu Wei,
who still was nowhere to be found.
The few people present were all
dressed up to impress.
Ji Yuan Sheng, who has always been unkempt,
had combed his hair back, tied it into a ponytail, and put on a brooch. A black
silk satin suit made his tall figure look particularly attractive.
Ji Yu also put on a sky-blue suit sent
by the servant, it was tailor-made and fit perfectly.
While he was changing his clothes, Ji
Yu looked in the mirror for a long time with satisfaction. He felt that he
looked much more mature and very masculine.
As expected, men still look most
elegant in suits.
Ji Yu couldn't help but agree with
this point.
Having a feeling of "this matter
can finally be settled," Ji Yu was in a good mood all morning. He was full
of expectations for the opening ceremony, thinking that it would end early.
After breakfast, Ji Yuan Sheng led
everyone out.
Near the front gate, several luxury
cars were neatly lined up. Ji Yuan Sheng naturally got into the most luxurious
car, while Ji Yu followed Ji Heng and walked towards a smaller car.
However, just as he was about to get
into the car, the housekeeper strode over and stopped him, "Young master,
please come with me to the main car."
Ji Yu paused and pointed at himself:
"Me?"
The butler nodded: "Yes."
Ji Yu was a little confused, but still
followed the housekeeper to the car where Ji Yuan Sheng was in.
Seeing him, Ji Yuan Sheng nodded:
"Come in."
Ji Yu blinked and entered the car
without changing his expression.
After entering, Ji Yu discovered that
Ji Yuan Sheng was not the only one in the car, and that Xue Zong was also present.
Xue Zong smiled and nodded towards
him.
Ji Yu nodded in response.
After he sat firmly, the car door
closed.
The car’s interior was very spacious,
even with three people sitting inside, there were still plenty of room left
over.
However, no matter how much extra room
there was, Ji Yu still felt like he was being locked up, a sheep inside a
tiger's mouth.
After a moment of thinking, Ji Yu asked
casually: "Why did you suddenly wanted me to sit in this car? I thought I
would ride with Ji Heng."
"He's not involved in our
business." Xue Zong smiled, "Actually, before we get to the mall, we
have to do something first, and we may need your help."
Ji Yu's heart skipped a beat, but his
face remained calm: "What do you need my help with?"
Xue Zong smiled and said nothing more.
Instead, Ji Yuan Sheng took the
initiative to reply, "We’re picking someone up."
Ji Yu: "Who?"
"You'll know soon." After
saying that, Ji Yuan Sheng glanced at Ji Yu and smiled meaningfully. Then he
folded his hands on his lap and closed his eyes to rest.
Xue Zong also stopped talking. He was
holding coffee in one hand and flipping through business documents with the
other. He occasionally wrote down a few words with a calm expression.
Among the three people in the car, Ji
Yu was the least calm.
His good mood in the morning was gone,
and now all he feels is unsettledness.
He Zhou's family
has already rejected Ji Yuan Sheng's invitation, so they don’t need to go to the
He family to pick up guests, unless…
Even if Ji Yuan
Sheng didn't pick up the He family, he could still go there to pick up his
grandson.
Otherwise, why
would he need to take Ji Yu with him?
Ji Yu turned away
and pretended to admire the scenery outside the window.
However, the more
he looked at it, the more uneasy he felt. The scenery was getting more and more
familiar. It was the road to He Mansion!
The He family
could refuse Ji Yuan Sheng and not attend the opening ceremony, but what right
did they have over the child currently in their home. Especially now that the
child’s “mother” and “grandfather” personally came to pick him up.
What reason did they have for not handing the child over?
After much calculations, it seemed Ji
Yu missed this one fatal point!
Ji Yu took a deep breath and took out the
phone from his pocket. He lowered his head calmly and pretended to play with
his phone.
However, no matter how he checked, the
message "Unable to connect" was displayed. Looking at the upper left
corner, there was no signal at all, and it directly displayed "No
Service".
Fuck!
Now Ji Yu's heart had completely
dropped.
It's broad daylight within the city
limits, not some underground rural area. How could there be no signal or
network?
No need to think about it, it must be
Ji Yuan Sheng’s doing!
In just a short moment, a thin layer
of sweat formed on Ji Yu’s palms.
Ji Yu raised his head and found that
Ji Yuan Sheng had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at him with a
smile.
Seeing him looking over, Ji Yuan Sheng
said: "We are almost there. Where we are going—"
He chuckled, "You seemed to have
been there two days ago."
Ji Yu clenched his phone tightly and
looked out the window.
In the distance, the familiar white
walls and black tiles jump into view.
