Chapter 55: Who got my baby pregnant?!

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Karai

The second night after the sedative injection, although the calming effect was better than usual, Duan Yizhou had never felt so low. He lay on the bed where Luo Songran had been lying, covered with the same blanket Luo Songran had used, but it did little to ease his overwhelming longing. It was more tortuous than any other day. 

Perhaps it was because the scent of citrus rose pheromones still lingered faintly in the bed, surrounding him, pulling at his thoughts. How could he not think of Luo Songran? He was almost going crazy with longing, but he couldn’t just give up like that. 

Duan Yizhou turned over and hugged the blanket tightly, burying his face in it, greedily breathing in the faint scent of citrus rose pheromones. This bed, this blanket, was his only solace these days. Never had there been someone who made him yearn so deeply, who haunted his dreams, who made him so angry yet so happy. 

“Baby… I miss you so much.” Outside the window, a storm raged, but it couldn’t resist the intense longing.

.

In the middle of the night, a sudden storm outside the window woke up the person on the bed who hadn’t had time to close the French window before the rain poured into the room. Luo Songran was startled awake by the thunder in his sleep. He gasped suddenly, his chest heaving, sweat soaking his forehead, his face flushed, looking quite abnormal. 

He still felt a bit groggy, noticing the window had been left open before he slept. Rainwater had poured in, so he got out of bed to close it, but as he got out of bed, he suddenly felt dizzy, his legs giving out as he collapsed onto the carpet beside the bed. The fall left him even more dazed, his face turning pale. 

It took him a while to recover slightly, and he struggled to stand up, feeling a bit uncomfortable in his stomach, not sure if it was because of the fall just now. Then he went to close the French window, inevitably getting his face splattered with rainwater brought in by the strong wind. 

“Ah-choo!” After closing the door, Luo Songran couldn’t help but sneeze several times in a row, shivering from the cold, covered in goosebumps. But he was too tired to care much. He hadn’t felt well since he left the hospital after extracting pheromones yesterday, but it was probably just a minor cold. 

He didn’t dare to see Duan Yizhou, fearing he might find out what he had done. As he lay back down, he thought about the dream that had awakened him earlier. He dreamed of Duan Yizhou, who was in pain at home during his sensitive period, looking uncomfortable, and he wanted to hug him but couldn’t. He needed to rest well and go back to Duan Yizhou tomorrow with a clear mind. He fell into a deep sleep without realizing that his body temperature was rising.

The next day.

The Luo family—

During weekends, members of a large family liked to gather for meals, and today was a gathering at Luo Songran’s house.

In the living room.

“Pan’er, where’s RanRan?” Chu Yiqiao, the head of the family, was sitting in the main seat of the living room, drinking tea elegantly. He wore a traditional Chinese robe in crimson and white silk. In the ABO world where the average lifespan was 200 years, this omega, with his high status and weight, still retained the gentle charm of his youth despite the traces of age on his face.

“This guy is still sleeping.” Luo Panzhi poured tea for his Papa. “He’s been really lazy lately, especially loves to sleep.”

“Yuxi, I heard RanRan is in a relationship?” Chu Yiqiao asked casually, looking at his son’s lover, Gu Yuxi. “Is it true?”

Gu Yuxi was a very democratic parent. “It seems so, but I think it’s rare to interfere in his feelings. If he mentions it, I’ll just go along with the conversation. If he doesn’t, I rarely ask. But recently, maybe they had a quarrel? He’s been a bit down, especially these past two days, not eating or drinking properly.”

Luo Panzhi couldn’t help but want to talk about his husband. “I’ve been saying we should ask him more, but you never let me ask. If we don’t ask, he won’t say anything. What if someone bullies him?”

“You’re quite confident in your son, aren’t you?” Gu Yuxi saw Luo Panzhi about to explode again and calmly accompanied the elder in drinking tea. “It’s okay to intervene, but if you rush to care when your son really asks for help, it’s easy to get involved and make things messy. You and your son have similar tempers. I’m afraid you’ll end up fighting. Let’s wait a bit, Dad.”

“Nanchen, go upstairs and wake up your cousin.” Chu Guzhi walked in from the garden, went to his son Nanchen’s side, and patted his shoulder, signaling him to go upstairs and call Luo Songran.

“Oh, okay.” Nanchen got up and went upstairs to call him. He walked up to Luo Songran’s room on the third floor, knocked on the door, and said, “RanRan? Wake up.” Hearing no response, he knocked again, then frowned and opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, the scent of A-class beta pheromones, a strong scent of citrus rose, rushed in, transmitting an unusual distress signal. Alpha’s sense of smell was very sensitive, especially their ability to detect what messages were conveyed in pheromone scents.

Nanchen’s face suddenly sank. He walked quickly to the bedside and found Luo Songran, covered with a blanket, with an unnatural flush on his face, pale lips, sweat-soaked hair, and looking very abnormal. “RanRan!!” 

He quickly lifted the blanket and gently patted his cousin’s face. When he touched him, he felt his temperature was alarmingly high. Calling out again and getting no response, he opened Luo Songran’s eyelids to check, his heart pounding. This was bad; he might have fainted from the fever. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately called for an ambulance from Jiang Tianyisu Hospital.

Then he picked up Luo Songran and hurriedly left the room.

The elders downstairs were chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance outside, and everyone was puzzled. Shortly after, they heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs.

“RanRan suddenly has a high fever, and I’ve called for an ambulance!” Nanchen didn’t have time to explain much to the elders. He carried his cousin and walked straight to the front door.

Gu Yuxi’s face changed instantly. He stood up immediately and followed out. “How could he suddenly have a high fever?”

Luo Panzhi’s heart jumped to his throat. He was most afraid of this little guy getting a fever because once he did, it would last for a while. The whole family was on edge because such a situation hadn’t happened to Luo Songran in a long time. When he was younger, he often had a fever because he was born prematurely and had a weak constitution, or because of allergies. But why would he suddenly have a high fever when he was perfectly fine? 

The ambulance was already at the villa’s gate, and the doctors and nurses were ready.

Yan Nanchen quickly put his cousin on the stretcher and calmly said to the doctor, “He’s unconscious, his temperature should be no lower than 39.5 degrees Celsius, and his heartbeat is rapid.”

“Did the young master consume any allergens last night?” The doctor and nurse immediately placed Luo Songran in the ambulance and began emergency procedures. As the doctor lifted Luo Songran’s clothes to use a stethoscope, his expression suddenly changed as his gaze fell on the slight bulge in the abdomen.

Yan Nanchen also noticed, and as if guessing what might have happened, he froze, took a deep breath to calm his emotions, but more than that, he was furious. He clenched his fist tightly at his side, his face turning black.

The doctor instantly regained composure from his shock. He checked Luo Songran’s pulse and, after confirming the possibility, exclaimed, “Is the young master pregnant?!”

Outside the ambulance, the faces of the entire family turned grim, none of them looking good. Who could have gotten their precious one pregnant?!!!

Due to Luo Songran’s unconsciousness from the high fever and the urgency of the situation, Gu Yuxi, who was worried for his son, got on the ambulance first and followed the doctor to the hospital.

“How could RanRan be pregnant?!” Luo Panzhi was thunderstruck. As he walked to the garage to get the car, he asked his nephew Yan Nanchen beside him.

“It’s probably Duan Yizhou,” Yan Nanchen gritted his teeth.

Luo Panzhi paused, staring at Yan Nanchen in astonishment. “What?” While he had suspicions before, what shocked him was not that his son was dating Duan Yizhou, but that Duan Yizhou had gotten his son pregnant.

Yan Nanchen looked at his uncle, Luo Panzhi. “Duan Yizhou is RanRan’s boyfriend. They’ve been dating for over three months. Besides him, I can’t think of anyone else who could be the child’s father.”

“Call Duan Yizhou and ask him to come to the hospital,” Luo Panzhi said grimly.

To think he dared to get his precious son pregnant?!!! So, was RanRan’s recent bad mood because of Duan Yizhou? Was he bullying his precious son? He wouldn’t dare to bully Duan Yizhou like this; how dare Duan Yizhou make RanRan sad?!!!

The urge to kill arose.

Jiang Tianyi Hospital—

“Fever of 39 degrees Celsius, fortunately, the arrival was timely, there is nothing major, we are now performing physical cooling measures to lower his temperature to 38 degrees, I do not recommend using medication, after all, he is pregnant.” The doctor looked at the tense family in the ward, knowing that the little bean in the bed was the heart of the Luo family. “The young master should be about two months pregnant. The sudden high fever is mainly due to the extraction of glandular pheromones, which is the main reason. Extracting pheromones during pregnancy is very likely to cause a fever, so this must be noted.”

Dad Luo Panzhi was already furious, and hearing that his son had actually extracted glandular pheromones made him even more annoyed. “How could he extract glandular pheromones for no reason?”

He immediately sat by the bed, took the towel wrapped with ice packs from the nurse’s hand, and wiped his son’s arms and legs.

“It’s likely for his mate,” the doctor said. “Generally, extracting glandular pheromones may be because the mate is in a sensitive period or estrus and needs to inject glandular pheromones into sedatives to suppress them. But the young master is pregnant, so he cannot extract glandular pheromones. So, who extracted pheromones for the young master, I suggest you investigate.”

Yan Nanchen squinted his eyes, sneering, “Except for Duan Yizhou, I don’t know who else could make RanRan suffer like this. I’ve told RanRan many times not to underestimate this Duan Yizhou. He’s older, see, he dared to extract his pheromones while RanRan was pregnant? The person is still missing; he must be on a business trip.”

His fist at his side twitched.

Hearing this, the grandfathers and fathers started thinking about bankrupting the Neptune Technology Group. The whole family sat in the hospital room, discussing how to resolve this matter. Papa Gu Yuxi was doing physical cooling for Luo Songran. It took about an hour for his temperature to barely drop to 38 degrees.

Two hours later—

“…So noisy.” A weak murmur came from the bed, and everyone’s eyes fell on the already awakened Luo Songran.

Luo Songran opened his eyes drowsily, catching a strong smell of disinfectant, and realized he was lying in bed with the entire family staring at him, which scared him. He widened his eyes, gasping for breath, clutching his chest. Then, he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and realized he was in the hospital. He was at a loss, feeling weak all over.

“Why am I here?” Before he could finish, Papa pinched his face hard, and he cried out in pain, “Ah! It hurts!”

Papa Gu Yuxi, sitting by the bed, was so angry that his eyes turned red. “RanRan, why didn’t you tell us you were pregnant? Do you know that when the doctor said you were pregnant while you were having a high fever, you scared us to death!!”

Luo Songran’s expression froze, thunderstruck. Oh no! The entire family knew!!! He cautiously looked around at the expressions of his family, all of them very serious, as if they were about to kill the person who got him pregnant. He immediately pretended to be weak, touching his forehead. “Oh, my head is so dizzy, I can’t take it anymore, I need to sleep.”

“Is it Duan Yizhou’s?”

Luo Songran supported his forehead and leaned back on the pillow. Then he heard Dad’s soft voice, causing him to instinctively swallow. Should he still not admit it now? If he didn’t, he might be in trouble, but if he did, what if Duan Yizhou didn’t forgive him? Would he accuse him of conspiring with his family to stage this whole thing? What if he got even angrier then?

“Did he bully you?” Luo Songran saw the worried expression on Papa Gu Yuxi’s face as he sat by the bed. He thought he probably couldn’t hide it anymore. 

“…No.”

“Then what’s going on between you two? Why didn’t you tell us even when you were pregnant?” 

Luo Songran found it difficult to talk about this. He slowly sat up, leaning against the headboard, awkwardly fidgeting with the blanket. “Um… I was embarrassed to say.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? If he bullied you, Dad will bankrupt the Neptune Technology Group!” 

Luo Songran was scared by Dad’s words and hurriedly explained, “Oh no, don’t be reckless. It’s all my fault. I used a sex pheromone on Duan Yizhou and then forced him, resulting in this accidental pregnancy.”

The whole family was speechless. They had just entertained the idea of cooling off Duan Yizhou, but luckily they hadn’t acted on it yet, or it would have been embarrassing for the Galaxy Group.

Luo Songran cautiously looked at his family’s expressions and decided to come clean. “I deceived Duan Yizhou’s feelings first. I was just attracted to his physique, and he was a bit hard to get. So, I used the sex pheromone on him, but I really didn’t expect him to fall in love with me, nor did I expect to get pregnant after just one time.”

The whole family was speechless again. They couldn’t find words to respond, and even if they did, they wouldn’t know what to say. They had thought RanRan was the victim, but it turned out to be Duan Yizhou.

“There’s something else I need to confess, please don’t be mad at me.” Luo Songran hesitated, scratching the corner of the blanket, looking at Dad and Papa’s eyes nervously. “I… I got married to him.”

Dad Luo Panzhi covered his forehead and turned away, looking devastated. Then he turned back to his son, his eyes full of disbelief and his voice raised involuntarily. “Luo Songran, I underestimated you. You… you wanted Yizhou, not someone else?”

Luo Songran shrank his neck in fear at Dad’s scolding, lowering his head in frustration. “He’s good-looking.”

“Even if he’s good-looking, you can’t force him like that! What’s restraint? What does restraint mean?” Dad took a deep breath to calm himself, but he found he couldn’t. Suddenly, he remembered his son mentioning a friend who was getting a divorce. “So, the friend whose husband wanted to divorce them is actually you?”

Luo Songran mumbled, “…Yeah.”

“You deserve it!”

Luo Songran’s eyes turned red at Dad’s words, and tears began to fall. He already looked pitiful enough being sick, “Waaahhh, Duan Yizhou doesn’t want me anymore, Dad, don’t you care about your son? Waaahhh, teach me how to get him back…”

“Enough.” It was Elder Chu Yiqiao who finally spoke up. He sat beside Luo Songran’s bed. “First, you need to explain everything clearly to us, and then you need to figure out how to handle it.”

Luo Songran saw his grandfather reach out and hold his arm, feeling like he had caught a lifeline, and he recounted everything that had happened between him and Duan Yizhou over the past three months. As he spoke, the whole family fell into silence, almost giving him a thumbs up. Especially Yan Nanchen, who seemed to have discovered a new world. So, chasing someone could be done like this?

After Luo Songran finished speaking, he took a deep breath. “That’s basically it. I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have relied on him liking me to always pick fights with him. Now, I don’t want to divorce Duan Yizhou. I want to apologize to him and be together with him, and never quarrel again.”

“Is he the one who doesn’t want to be with you now?” Papa Gu Yuxi rubbed his son’s head, criticizing him as he should, but of course, he still cared for his son, especially now that he was pregnant.

Luo Songran sighed. “Anyway, the day I wanted to leave home, he gave me the marriage certificate and the divorce agreement. And he hasn’t spoken to me these days. What should I do?”

“Do you think he still loves you?” Grandpa asked.

Luo Songran answered without hesitation, “He definitely still loves me.”

“What do you think of him as a person?”

“I think I’ll never meet an alpha like Duan Yizhou who is willing to tolerate and love me so much in this world. Besides you, he loves and cares for me the most.”

“Okay, I understand. First, you have to apologize to him properly, that’s something you must do.” Grandpa Chu Yiqiao said, then looked at his son Luo Panzhi, “Pan, we, the Galaxy Group, will make the biggest apology. This incident was indeed RanRan’s fault. So, we’ll give Neptune Technology Group a 30% discount on the Second Differentiation Special Drug project, and give Neptune Technology Group the Northern Europe and South America markets. In addition, any projects cooperating with Neptune Technology Group will have a 30% discount.”

Yan Nanchen was shocked to hear this. Wasn’t this more than just a discount? The Galaxy Group was giving way to Neptune Technology Group?

Luo Songran didn’t expect his grandfather to help him so much. He hugged his grandfather’s arm, feeling extremely emotional. Tears streamed down his face. “Grandpa, you’re too kind. But if Duan Yizhou doesn’t want me, what should I do?”

Grandpa Chu Yiqiao smiled mysteriously. “Doesn’t want you? Then your baby can only be surnamed Luo. Nannan, make an appointment with Neptune Technology Group. I’ll personally go talk to him about this marriage.”
