I Found Myself Pregnant After Becoming An Omega 48

 

Chapter 48: Immaculate Conception

 

Ji Yu and He Zhou sat cross-legged on the floor, looking at each other in silence.

 

A tense atmosphere quickly spread in the air. Finally, a hum from Little Yu Zhou broke the seemingly endless silence, causing the two of them to look at him together.

 

He was quite happy, holding his tail and looking at it in amazement.

 

Since He Zhou had already seen it, Ji Yu did not hold the little tail down anymore and simply let it move around.

 

At this moment, the little tail was moving nimbly, sometimes hooking Little Yu Zhou’s hand, sometimes trying to hook Ji Yu's hand. If the little tail manages to wrapped onto his mother, the child would laugh, if it didn't, he would frown and continue to try harder. Overall, Little Yu Zhou seems to really be enjoying himself.

 

He Zhou stared at the child for a long time and asked, "Why is he like this?"

 

Ji Yu: “…I don’t know.”

 

“When did the tail grow?”

 

"During his nap."

 

Ji Yu looked at He Zhou, "So, you must not tell anyone."

 

He Zhou did not answer immediately.

 

He stared at Little Yu Zhou with heavy eyes, his brows slightly furrowed, looking quite serious.

 

Ji Yu unconsciously hugged Little Yu Zhou in his arms, "You say anything, will you? If others find out, my baby will be finished."

 

The issue of a tail is much more different and severe than that of transmigration.

 

If Ji Yu ran into a crowd and yelled "I'm a transmigrator!" three times, no one would pay any attention to him. Without any evidence, people would treat him as a lunatic, and, at most, he might be locked up for a little while for disturbing the peace.

 

However, Little Yu Zhou’s tail is very real.

 

If it is discovered, it will become big news, and the child will definitely be dissected and studied as research material.

 

Seeing that He Zhou didn't say anything, Ji Yu became a little nervous.

 

He clenched his hands several times and change the topic: "Anyway, what did you want to tell me just now? You said something about He Jiao. Does she know anything?"

 

He Zhou looked up at Ji Yu and remained silent for a long time.

 

After a long while, He Zhou finally spoke: "Jiao Jiao's attitude towards you is mainly because of Little Yu Zhou’s birth. He was born at only five months, which raises the issue of his paternity. After two paternity tests, it was confirmed that he and I have no blood relationship."

 

Ji Yu nodded: "I already knew that, so?"

 

"Two years ago, Ji Yuan Sheng officially became a major shareholder of Shunde Pharmaceutical. However, behind the scene, he has been involved in Shunde’s operation since for a long time now. His team's main research topic is genetic engineering, so I have a guess that—"

 

Ji Yu: "That Ji Yuan Sheng somehow genetically tempered with Little Yu Zhou? And that’s why Little Yu Zhou suddenly grew a tail?"

 

He Zhou sighed: "What animal do you think Little Yu Zhou’s tail resembles?"

 

Ji Yu stared at the little silver tail for a while: "Lizard? Snake?...Dragon?"

 

The tail is still very tender, with small scales that have not fully grown yet. One can faintly see the flesh-pink skin underneath the scales. The fins have not yet grown out, and the bones are too soft that they cannot even stand upright, so the whole tail feels a bit floppy and not easy to recognize.

 

"The ancestors of humans are apes. Even if human were to revert back to their original prototype, they will transform into some variation of primates. But he…"

 

He Zhou reached out and took the tail from Little Yu Zhou’s hand, causing the child to pout in dissatisfaction. He used his little hands to push against He Zhou’s thick fingers.

 

"This is a result of genetic modification. No matter how much human genes mutate, the human body can't just suddenly turn into a mythical beast. Unless there is an existing beast gene combined with human DNA."

 

Ji Yu: "You mean, those mythical creatures might really exist in this world?"

 

He Zhou glanced at Little Yu Zhou, paused, and finally uttered two words: "Who knows."

 

He Zhou let go of his hand, and the little child, who was trying hard to pull his tail back, suddenly fell backward and nestled into Ji Yu's arms.

 

He blinked in confusion, looked at He Zhou, then looked at the tail he had worked so hard to get back.

 

 Little Yu Zhou’s eyes lit up, he happily exclaimed "Woo," and hugged it with his two little hands.

 

Ji Yu also looked down at Little Yu Zhou's tail.

 

He was lost in thoughts.

 

Whether or not there are monsters in this world, perhaps only the original Ji Yu knows best. After all, how could a normal person give birth to a child with a long tail?

 

Or, perhaps the original Ji Yu might not have known either. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so fixated on the paternity tests and firmly believe that Little Yu Zhou is He Zhou's child.

 

So, if even the mother doesn’t know the origin of the child, then…

 

Could it be immaculate conception? Divine intervention? Alien abduction?

 

As Ji Yu's imagination grew bigger and wilder, He Zhou's expression became more and more ugly.

 

In order to convince He Jiao to accept the child, He Zhou had come up with a believable reason.

 

He tactfully told his sister that Little Yu Zhou might have a genetic mutation due to some unforeseen factors, which led to the premature birth and the failed paternity tests.

 

He deliberately did not tell her about Ji Yuan Sheng, nor did he say anything about Shunde Pharmaceutical.

 

He simply reminded He Jiao that Little Yu Zhou might really be her nephew, and that this might just all be one big misunderstanding.

 

Therefore, while the investigation progress is ongoing, He Zhou would appreciate it if He Jiao could protect Ji Yu at school.

 

After seeing that He Jiao was finally convinced, He Zhou confidently returned to the room only to witnessed a shocking scene.

 

This time, He Zhou’s thoughts completely shattered.

 

This child could never be his.

 

He was cuckolded.

 

And it was by a non-human at that.

 

He Zhou’s heart sank to the bottom. No man could face raising a child like this.

 

For a long time, he had endured this resentment in his heart. It was only recently that he gradually stopped caring about Little Yu Zhou's origin, and began to accept and get close to the child.

 

After learning that Ji Yuan Sheng was researching genetics and was inexplicably obsessed with Little Yu Zhou, He Zhou immediately came up with a logical guess - Little Yu Zhou might be his child, and everything was Ji Yuan Sheng’s fault.  

 

However, within a short period of time, he was severely slapped in the face.

 

His mood went up and down, before finally plummeting towards the very bottom.

 

The feeling of frustration and anger raised its ugly head, but when Ji Yu's fingers touches the back of his hand, his emotions quickly retracted.

 

He Zhou restrained his emotions and raised his eyes: "Hmm?"

 

"Help me keep this a secret, okay?"

 

He Zhou's face was reflected in a pair of crystal-clear eyes as Ji Yu said sincerely, "Don't tell anyone. I'll figure out the rest."

 

He Zhou's heart moved: "What do you have in mind?"

 

"I don't know yet, but there will always be a way." Ji Yu looked at him steadily, "Promise me, okay?"

 

As Ji Yu said that, he raised an open hand solemnly towards He Zhou.

 

He Zhou looked at the white palm, and the dark clouds on his face finally dissipated.

 

He raised his hand towards the extended palm and shakes, "I promised."

 

"Phew—" The tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, and Ji Yu's expression was no longer so serious. He laughed, and just as he opened his mouth to say something, He Zhou's cell phone rang.

 

Before He Zhou could answer, anxious footsteps were heard outside.

 

Ji Yu's face changed, he picked up Little Yu Zhou and rushed into the bathroom.

 

"Brother, brother, brother!" He Jiao knocked on the door outside.

 

Only after the bathroom was completely closed, did He Zhou stood up and opened the bedroom door: "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"

 

He Jiao: "Xue Zong is here! He said that he knows you and Little Yu Zhou are back, and he won't leave until he sees you."

 

He Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly: "Got it, where is he now?"

 

"The butler has taken him into the reception room."

 

"I'll be right there." He Zhou patted He Jiao's shoulder, "It's okay, don't worry. Just go back to your room, I'll take care of it."

 

—

 

Entering the reception room, He Zhou immediately saw the man standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

 

He was still wearing the suit he had worn for the opening ceremony earlier today. Even after a long and hard day of work, the man was still neat and tidy, with not a single hair out of place. Charming and meticulous, the word "exquisite" was practically engraved in his bones.

 

"Mr. He." Xue Zong turned around, his habitual smile already on his face.

 

He Zhou nodded: "Mr. Xue."

 

Xue Zong’s smile deepens, "I am but a mere subordinate under Mr. Ji, there is no need for any formalities. Let's get straight to the point. I'm here to pick up the little Young Master. Mr. Ji hasn’t seen him for so long, and he missed his grandson very much. The little Young Master must also—"

 

He Zhou interrupted, "Sorry."

 

Xue Zong's eyebrows twitched.

 

“The child likes staying here.”

 

Xue Zong: "So?"

 

"You can't take him away." He Zhou raised his chin slightly, his expression cold and arrogant.

 

He Zhou dared to pick up Ji Yu in person at the opening ceremony, so naturally he was not afraid of Ji Yuan Sheng. In fact, when Ji Yuan Sheng came to the He Mansion in the morning, He Zhou was ready to confront his nominal father-in-law.

 

Besides, He Zhou had already made a promise to protect Ji Yu and the child. How could he just let anyone take that child away?

 

Impossible.

 

Xue Zong looked straight at He Zhou and didn't say anything for a while.

 

He Zhou did not avoid Xue Zong, and stared directly back.

 

In the end, it was Xue Zong who looked away first.

 

He smiled again and nodded, "I understand."

 

"In that case, excuse me for bothering you. Mr. He, when you are free in the future, you are welcome to visit our Ji family."

 

He Zhou said calmly, "Likewise."

 

Xue Zong nodded: "Good night."

 

"I won't send you off."

 

Xue Zong walked to the door and stopped.

 

He didn't look back, but just looked up at the sky outside and spoke, his tone was a little more casual than before.

 

"It would be a pity not to go on vacation during such a good holiday. However, there are massive crowds everywhere in the country and chaos abroad. There is no good place to go. What a pity."

 

After saying that, Xue Zong strode away.

 

He Zhou's eyes darkened slightly.

 

Xue Zong wouldn't say so much nonsense for nothing. What does he mean?

 

Although there was a lot of perfume on Xue Zong’s body, He Zhou could still keenly detect the faint smell of rust.

 

Sort of like blood.

 

It seemed like Xue Zong was injured, and it was a fresh injury too.

 

A figure suddenly popped up in He Zhou's mind. If that person hadn't suddenly appeared and stopped Xue Zong, he would not have been able to take Ji Yu away so smoothly.

 

During their escape from the mall, while He Zhou was waiting for the elevator in the underground car park, he had actually bumped into Xue Zong.

 

Xue Zong had actually come down from the elevator next to his. It was as if Xue Zong had already foreseen Ji Yu's actions and came down early to lie in wait.

 

However, before He Zhou could take any action, something unexpected happened.

 

A man dressed in black, in a cap and completely covered with a mask, hurriedly ran down the stairs and forcibly pulled Xue Zong away. Otherwise, by the time Ji Yu got off the elevator, they would’ve collided head-on.

 

What happened after Xue Zong was taken away?

 

Also, Xue Zong mentioned something about “chaos abroad.” What happened abroad?

 

—

 

"As long as no one snatches the child from me and finds his tail, I'll be thankful."

 

Ji Yu had given up hiding the tail as Little Yu Zhou refuse to take it back no matter how much he was coaxed.

 

The two of them was having dinner in their room.

 

Ji Yu didn't dare let Little Yu Zhou out of his sight, nor did he dare let anyone else see the child.

 

After the nanny had cleaned up the room, Ji Yu waited until everyone left before sneaking around with Little Yu Zhou, wrapped up in a blanket, like a thief.

 

He Zhou said: "I'm next door, call me if you need anything."

 

Ji Yu nodded: "I know. By the way, when will your dad be back? Have you told him about me moving in temporarily? I think it would be better to tell him in person."

 

"He’s not back yet. I'll call him later."

 

"Okay, then—"

 

Ji Yu waved his hand, "Good night, you should go back to sleep too. You've been busy all day. We can talk about anything else tomorrow."

 

"Good night."

 

Seeing that Ji Yu had nothing else, He Zhou stood up to leave. However, before he could stand up straight, he was stunned by the touch of his hand, "Huh?"

 

The tip of little Yu Zhou’s tail was wrapped around his little finger.

 

"Hmm? Little Zhou?"

 

Little Yu Zhou heard He Zhou calling him, blinked and saw his tail had wrapped around He Zhou's hand. He tilted his head, confusion written all over his big eyes. "Hoo?"

 

He Zhou waited for a while, but seeing that the child seemed clueless, he had no choice but to move the tail away himself.

 

However, as soon as he pushed it away, it wrapped around his fingers again, as if it didn't want him to leave.

 

Little Yu Zhou, who was holding his own fingers with a confused expression on his face, finally snaps out of his daze and realizes what was happening.

 

He was aggrieved. He had no intention of trying to keep He Zhou at all!

 

"Ah!" Little Yu Zhou suddenly glared at his tail angrily, mumbling something in his mouth, and moved his little hands and feet twice, looking as if he was angry with his little tail.

 

Ji Yu was stunned: "Is this... is the tail is not controllable?"

 

He Zhou had also never seen such a situation before: "…Maybe?"

 

"Fine." Ji Yu extended his hand heroically, and grabbed the tail that was wrapped around He Zhou's fingers. "Okay, you can go now."

 

He Zhou paused, "Thanks."

 

After saying that, he got up and left Ji Yu's room.

 

After he left, Ji Yu and Little Yu Zhou sat face to face on the bed, looking at the constantly moving tail with the same inquiring and puzzled eyes.

 

Little Yu Zhou blinked: "Huh?"

 

Ji Yu touched his chin: "Hmm..."

 

Ji Yu said: "It doesn't listen to you."

 

Little Yu Zhou pouted: "Humph!"

 

Ji Yu held Little Yu Zhou and lay down, covering him with a blanket: "Forget it. Go to sleep. It should be fine after you fall asleep."

 

He kissed Little Yu Zhou's forehead and held Little Yu Zhou's tail in his hand, "Please don't grow anything else. Ah, no, bah! When you wake up tomorrow, I want to see this tail gone!"

 

Little Yu Zhou let out a cry, as if responding to Ji Yu.

 

After responding, he yawned, curled up on Ji Yu's chest, and his eyelids gradually drooped.

 

The lights were turned off, and the two of them, one big and one small, were about to fall asleep, but...

 

The tail keep moving back and forth.

 

Ji Yu pressed down harder.

 

The tail moved more vigorously.

 

Ji Yu closed his eyes, put a little more effort into falling asleep, and tried not to take it to heart.

 

The tail: moves, moves, moves, moves…

 

The old monk Ji Yu closed his eyes as if in meditation.

 

It was not until he felt a weight shifting on his chest that Ji Yu opened his eyes, and met Little Yu Zhou’s pitiful, crying face.

 

“Ahh~” QAQ.

 

—

 

Next door, He Zhou hasn't gone to bed yet.

 

Xue Zong's words kept echoing in his mind. He couldn't sleep until he figured it out.

 

He Zhou was still sitting in front of his computer, and hasn’t yet change into his pajamas. He was working diligently when he heard a knock on his door.

 

"Who is it?" he asked.

 

"It's me, Ji Yu."

 

He Zhou closed his computer and immediately went to open the door.

 

As soon as the door opened, He Zhou was met with two sad faces. 

He raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

 

Before either Ji Yu and Little Yu Zhou could answer, something else had answered for them.

 

He Zhou felt the familiar touch returned to his hand. He looked down and found that his hand was wrapped by Little Yu Zhou's tail again.

 

He Zhou: “…”

 

Ji Yu sighed: "You saw it too. I have to trouble you again."

 

He Zhou: "What kind of trouble?"

 

Ji Yu looked up at He Zhou and said, "Please take us in for one night."

 

He pointed at the tail that suddenly became disobedient and sighed.

 

"It likes you very much, for some inexplicable reason, and now it only recognizes you. When you're not around, it makes a fuss and we can't sleep at all."

Lyrus: That's the thing about He Zhou. Love him or hate him, you have to admit, he has his uses.
