A Fatal Attraction from Lawyer A - Chapter 53

Gu Yuxi felt even more nauseous from Luo Panzhi’s tight hug: “I’m serious, I really need to throw up.”

Luo Panzhi finally noticed that Gu Yuxi’s complexion was genuinely unwell. He dropped the joke, his expression instantly tense. He had witnessed his brother’s morning sickness and knew how awful it felt:

“I’ll take you to the restroom.”

He knew his brother experienced nausea at four months, but how could Gu Yuxi start having morning sickness at only five weeks? Was he reacting this early?

Luo Yuchu looked at her Omega beside her. She thankfully touched Yuan Nai’s seven-month pregnant belly: “Thank goodness you don’t have any morning sickness, or I’d be heartbroken.”

Yuan Nai smiled gently: “The baby is behaving.”

“So Alphas can also get pregnant?” Luo Yuchu asked, puzzled: “Isn’t Lawyer Gu an Alpha?”

Chu Yiqiao watched the two men head toward the restroom, his expression unreadable: “He is a secondary differentiated Alpha, having once been an Omega. He has an underdeveloped anal cavity. When he first differentiated into an Alpha, his pheromones were so strong they almost hurt people, so I used Panzhi’s pheromones combined with the Hormone Inducer to inject and suppress the Alpha pheromone overflow. It’s quite unexpected that their compatibility is so high, with no rejection whatsoever.”

“Precisely because their compatibility is so high and he was forcibly marked and bonded by Panzhi, pregnancy is possible. But pregnancy as an Alpha is still too dangerous.”

Luo Qingye mused for a moment: “This isn’t something that can be solved by simply beating Panzhi up. That kid gets more stubborn the older he gets. Since he isn’t the one carrying the baby, he might not realize the danger.”

“Let Yuxi stay tonight,” Chu Yiqiao patted Luo Qingye’s shoulder: “I’ll talk to him. Panzhi is up to you. Don’t fight; talk nicely.”

“What if Yuxi wants to keep the child?” This was Luo Qingye’s current concern.

Chu Yiqiao seemed to understand something: “He will want to. The child grew up without parents, and he accidentally lost his chance to be an Omega. Now that he has this surprise, he must desperately crave the baby’s birth.”

“So we shouldn’t advise them to abort the child?”

Chu Yiqiao shook his head: “What we need to do is inform them of the risks and the price they must pay.” He looked at Luo Qingye: “And let them know that their fathers are here for them. Galaxy Group has an excellent medical team. They should have told us immediately instead of hiding it. I don’t want to see what happened when they were younger happen again.”

In the Restroom—

Gu Yuxi braced himself on the sides of the sink. The constant wave of nausea and dry heaving made him incredibly uncomfortable, and his lower back began to hurt from standing so long. He lowered his head, turned on the faucet, cupped water in his hands, and splashed it onto his face.

Just then, a hand suddenly turned off the faucet.

He looked up, confused.

“The water is too cold. Don’t wash your face with cold water. Stand up straight.”

Luo Panzhi also felt a little unwell hearing Gu Yuxi’s retching. When Gu Yuxi finished and started washing his face, he dipped a finger into the water, frowned when he realized it was cold, and turned off the tap.

He pulled tissue from the wall dispenser, instructing Gu Yuxi to stand straight.

Gu Yuxi stood up, but before he was fully upright, Luo Panzhi grasped the back of his neck, making him look up. Luo Panzhi gently dabbed his face with the tissue.

“I’m sorry. I thought you were just mimicking my brother earlier, I didn’t know you were actually feeling sick.” Luo Panzhi felt embarrassed, remembering how enthusiastically he had acted earlier, even thinking Gu Yuxi’s imitation was good. He gently pressed the tissue to wipe Gu Yuxi’s face, his eyes full of worry: “You’re only five weeks and already have morning sickness. What will you do later?”

Ten months of pregnancy. If he starts feeling nauseous now, it will break his heart.

Gu Yuxi let him wipe his face, unsure why he suddenly felt the urge to vomit: “I just felt a little uncomfortable after hearing your brother’s voice, but it’s only a slight discomfort.”

“You might be slightly uncomfortable, but I’m greatly uncomfortable in my heart.” Luo Panzhi was even more upset thinking about his father’s attitude: “If they maintain that attitude when we go out, we’re leaving immediately.”

“Your acting skills earlier were so poor it was embarrassing,” Gu Yuxi squeezed Luo Panzhi’s palm: “Judging by CEO Chu and CEO Luo’s reactions, I don’t think they want us to separate. I think they are testing us.”

Luo Panzhi instantly softened when Gu Yuxi squeezed his palm, naturally becoming more obedient: “What do you mean?” He threw the tissue into the nearby trash can, leaned against the sink, and pulled Gu Yuxi closer, starting to massage his lower back.

“They were very angry the moment we walked in. If it was because we were together, they would have stopped us before, but they didn’t. Instead, they told us about the potential risks of two Alphas being together,” Gu Yuxi analyzed seriously: “I think they know I’m pregnant because their attitude towards you was particularly severe.”

“How could they know you’re pregnant? I only found out yesterday.” Luo Panzhi said this, then suddenly realized a possibility, his expression changing dramatically: “Su—Jian—An.”

Doctor Su, who was currently on a date with his lover, suddenly sneezed.

“CEO Chu and CEO Luo know my health condition best. If they are angry at you after knowing I’m pregnant, then it means…” Gu Yuxi paused mid-sentence, looking at Luo Panzhi: “The existence of this child is very dangerous.”

Luo Panzhi heard the worry in Gu Yuxi’s voice. He pulled him closer between his knees, intending to have a serious talk: “We’ll ask them directly later. If my Dad says keeping this child is very risky, then I won’t let you take the chance, understood?”

If his father wasn’t trying to break them up because they were both Alphas, but was focusing on the pregnancy, he suddenly understood why he had been so fierce.

It was all his fault.

Gu Yuxi remained silent.

Luo Panzhi’s gaze fell on Gu Yuxi’s tightly clenched, trembling hands at his side. Knowing he was suppressing his emotions, he held his hand: “I know you want this child very much, but Baby, I can’t let you risk your life just because you want him. We never planned for this; the child’s appearance is definitely a wonderful surprise. But if this child’s appearance means I lose you, then I don’t consider it a surprise.”

“Didn’t they say there’s a possibility?” Gu Yuxi countered.

“We’ll ask my Dad later. If the risk of you carrying this child is more than twenty percent higher than an Omega or Beta, I won’t agree,” Luo Panzhi’s tone was firm.

Gu Yuxi tried to pull his hand away from Luo Panzhi’s grasp.

Luo Panzhi immediately clutched the hand Gu Yuxi tried to withdraw, sensing his anger. He softened his tone: “I’m not being mean to you, and I understand how much you want this child, but what I want to say is that compared to this child, I only care about you. I was already a wreck when you lost so much blood. I can’t even begin to imagine how devastated I’ll be if you actually give birth to this child.”

“Gu Yuxi, the extent to which I care about you is far beyond your imagination.”

Gu Yuxi lowered his eyes, as if wrestling with himself, remaining silent, but a watery film spread beneath his glasses.

Even without speaking, his pervasive sadness was palpable.

Luo Panzhi pressed his forehead against Gu Yuxi’s, coaxing him gently: “I didn’t say I don’t like this child. If you can carry him and give birth to him safely, I’ll be incredibly happy. But if the cost is your suffering, I’ll be even more miserable. Do you want to make me miserable?”

The mirrored reflection in the restroom showed the two figures embracing, and Luo Panzhi’s words echoed clearly.

Gu Yuxi cupped Luo Panzhi’s face with his hands, lifting his gaze, his eyes moist: “…If we really can’t keep him, I’ll be very sad.”

Luo Panzhi covered Gu Yuxi’s hand with his own, comforting him gently: “I know you’ll be sad, and I’ll be very sad too.” He looked at Gu Yuxi’s reddened eyes, feeling a pang of discomfort in his heart.

He truly couldn’t stand seeing this man like this. He’d rather Gu Yuxi be stubborn or cold toward him.

“If we can keep him, I absolutely want to.”

“As long as you are safe, I want him.”

Gu Yuxi was silent for a moment again. He looked at Luo Panzhi, slightly confused: “Do I seem to have become a bit sentimental and tearful?”

Luo Panzhi saw that his mood seemed to have improved, and his own mood lifted: “Nonsense, can you be as sentimental and tearful as me?”

Gu Yuxi couldn’t help but smile.

Luo Panzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he finally smiled. He pulled out another tissue and wiped his face: “Don’t be so gloomy before we even get a clear answer. With such an excellent medical team at Galaxy Group, anything is possible.”

“Okay.”

“I’m going to kiss you.” Luo Panzhi leaned in and kissed him.

Gu Yuxi tilted his head to meet the kiss.

In the Dining Room—

The family, previously seven, now had Gu Yuxi, so Luo Panzhi was finally not sitting alone in the single-person center seat.

The atmosphere was noticeably better than before.

Then, everyone watched as Luo Panzhi busied himself picking out scallions and ginger, then picking out fish bones, placing the clean food in front of Gu Yuxi.

Gu Yuxi felt the eyes on them. Under the table, he subtly nudged Luo Panzhi’s leg and whispered: “Stop picking.”

Luo Panzhi looked up, confused by the nudge. He met the subtle gaze of his two fathers directly across from him. He quickly explained: “Oh, well, he’s a picky eater. He doesn’t eat ginger or scallions, so I’m picking it out for him. You guys eat; don’t mind me.”

He continued picking.

Gu Yuxi: “…” At least maintain some image in front of the elders and family. After all, it’s their first time here as a married couple. He discreetly pinched Luo Panzhi’s leg again.

Luo Panzhi yelped softly from the unexpected pinch and looked at Gu Yuxi in astonishment: “What is it, Baby?”

That single call of “Baby” made the family blush again.

Gu Yuxi: “…” How can Luo Panzhi be tender, serious, and silly all at once? Can’t he cooperate with me just a little?

Chu Yiqiao cleared his throat lightly when he saw the situation.

Luo Panzhi’s hand trembled. He looked up at his father directly across from him, swallowing nervously: “What is it, Dad?”

“The two of you will stay tonight,” Chu Yiqiao looked at Gu Yuxi, his gaze not as stern as it was with Luo Panzhi. He smiled gently: “Dad has something to say to you.”

—Dad has something to say to you.

Gu Yuxi’s eyes flickered, as if touching upon his deeply buried longing for family.

Luo Qingye narrowed his eyes at Luo Panzhi, raising an eyebrow: “Panzhi, I also have something to say to you tonight. See you in the boxing room.”

Luo Panzhi: “…” He knew he couldn’t escape. It’s over.

Under the table, he clutched Gu Yuxi’s hand, shaking it weakly and helplessly, wanting to cry.

Wife!!! Save me, save me, save me, save me.
