After Little Sweet Omega Runs with the Ball - Chapter 51
Song Shuangtian truly did not expect that Ji Mingxue would be so enthusiastic after learning she was pregnant. Song Shuangtian felt a headache coming on the moment she smelled Ji Mingxue’s pheromones.
“Enough. I do not need pheromones,” Song Shuangtian said. Since her pregnancy was a fabrication, she naturally did not need an Alpha to constantly release pheromones to soothe her.
The sharp scent of white magnolia enveloped Song Shuangtian as if she were wearing an extra layer of clothing. No matter how she struggled, she could not escape it; it was like a shadow clinging to her, attempting to wrap around every pore. If Song Shuangtian were currently in her heat season, she would naturally enjoy it, but she was not.
Ji Mingxue looked innocent. “But the doctor said,” she began.
Song Shuangtian gripped the report that stated she was pregnant, tore it into pieces, and threw the scraps into the trash can at the hospital entrance.
Ji Mingxue’s arm muscles were strained, preventing her from making large movements, so she could only use her uninjured hand to hold Song Shuangtian’s hand. The Omega walked in front while the Alpha followed closely behind.
“Behave yourself in public,” Song Shuangtian said.
Ji Mingxue did not let go. She used her thumb to rub Song Shuangtian’s soft palm as if comforting her. The pheromones continued to flow. Veins throbbed on Song Shuangtian’s forehead, and several times she wanted to speak, but she eventually remained silent.
“Fine. I will go to the farm to pick up Guanguan. You go to the nursing home to look after my aunt; she needs someone there,” Song Shuangtian said, effectively dismissing Ji Mingxue.
She sat in Ji Mingxue’s flashy red sports car, wearing peach-colored sunglasses. The sunlight fell on her long, seaweed-like hair, adding a dazzling radiance to the beautiful Omega. Passing patients thought she was a popular star and hesitated to ask for a photo.
Ji Mingxue leaned against the front of the car. “You took the car. How am I supposed to go? Besides, pregnant women should not drive.”
Song Shuangtian’s waist felt soft from Ji Mingxue’s pheromones, and she used her sunglasses to hide the blush on her face. Did this Alpha know what her pheromones meant to a compatible Omega?
Ji Mingxue sat in the driver’s seat.
“Can you drive with your hand like that?” Song Shuangtian asked, frowning.
Ji Mingxue had read in the Pregnancy Guide that Omegas feel insecure during pregnancy and tend to worry. At this time, the Alpha needs to show enough strength to protect their Omega and put them at ease.
“I am fine. I could drive even if both my arms were broken,” Ji Mingxue said.
Song Shuangtian wondered if she was crazy. She watched as Ji Mingxue gripped the steering wheel with her bandaged hand. Seeing the awkward posture, Song Shuangtian felt uneasy and worried that her joke had gone too far.
Halfway through the drive, Song Shuangtian finally lost her patience. “Enough. Stop releasing pheromones while you are driving.”
The concentration of pheromones released by the Alpha was not high, and passersby could not smell them, but Song Shuangtian, who was sitting next to her, absorbed the scent into her glands.
In the passenger seat of the convertible, Song Shuangtian was sweating. The cool wind blew against her white dress, but her back was completely soaked with sweat. Every breath she took was filled with a burning sensation. It was uncomfortable.
Song Shuangtian’s eyelashes trembled, and she gripped the door handle tightly. It was not that she wanted to jump out of the car, but if she did not hold on to something, her body would slide off the seat. The poor Omega had no choice; she could only passively accept the Alpha’s pheromones and allow them to run wild in her body.
“Enough, you should not,” Song Shuangtian whispered. She could not finish the sentence. She was afraid she would start panting if she spoke too much.
Even though they were at a polite distance and Ji Mingxue had not touched her, the Alpha’s pheromones seemed to have a life of their own, constantly brushing against her glands. The sun overhead made her dizzy. By the time Ji Mingxue brought her to the farm, she had collapsed weakly on the car seat.
“Tiantian?” Ji Mingxue asked, nervously holding the Pregnancy Guide. “Are the pheromones not enough? Do you want to vomit? I will provide more pheromones. Do not be afraid.”
Ji Mingxue released even more intense pheromones and hugged her Omega tightly. She thought her Tiantian must be very afraid and insecure right now. Song Shuangtian had no strength left and fell into Ji Mingxue’s arms, her hot breath falling on Ji Mingxue’s neck.
“You,” she started, meant to say “Get away from me.” Song Shuangtian could not say the words, but her watery eyes were full of despair.
Was it possible that she was not actually pregnant? She did not need so many pheromones. Song Shuangtian began to regret deceiving Ji Mingxue.
“Do you feel better?” Ji Mingxue asked. She nipped at the back of Song Shuangtian’s neck, her lips touching the full glands. Unfortunately, the doctor had said she should not always mark the Omega, as it would cause a pheromone imbalance for the delicate pregnant woman. She only dared to brush against her.
Song Shuangtian’s pupils contracted, and she pulled at Ji Mingxue’s sleeve, pushing her back into the driver’s seat. “Enough of that!”
The Omega’s face was red under her sunglasses, looking like a blooming rose. The red convertible was parked under the shade of a tree. Small beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and temples, sliding down her face and dripping onto Ji Mingxue’s hand.
Ji Mingxue’s breath hitched. She wiped away the tears hanging from the corner of Song Shuangtian’s eye, seeing that her Omega seemed to be enduring unspeakable pain. Was it pain or something else?
“I will stay with you. Do not be afraid,” Ji Mingxue said.
Song Shuangtian thought to herself that she was only afraid because Ji Mingxue was staying with her. She used her last bit of strength to push Ji Mingxue away, swaying as she opened the car door and then slammed it shut.
“Get lost with your broken car! Get lost now!”
One reason this car had a high turnover rate was that there was even a child seat in the back. Song Shuangtian thought Ji Mingxue was ridiculous. She glared with a fierce aura, but a faint scent of orange blossom lingered around her. It was as if the Omega’s pheromones had become more intense due to the heat in her body.
“Did I do something wrong?” Ji Mingxue asked. The Pregnancy Guide stated that pregnant Omegas have unpredictable moods, but a partner must always follow their wishes and not make them sad. Ji Mingxue thought she had done a good job during the drive, but her Omega did not seem satisfied.
“Is the pheromone concentration not high enough?” Ji Mingxue asked. She smelled the intense orange blossom scent on Song Shuangtian and could hardly suppress her Alpha instincts. She told herself to exercise restraint. She was not a beast and could not bully a pregnant woman.
“Get lost now. I do not want to see you,” Song Shuangtian said, leaning weakly against a tree. “Get lost.”
Ji Mingxue did not dare to approach her and stepped back. “Fine. I will take Guanguan home and then go to your aunt’s nursing home.”
Song Shuangtian remained silent. She had intended to take Guanguan back herself, but her current physical condition was such that Guanguan probably had more strength than she did. Ji Mingxue cleaned up Guanguan, who was covered in watermelon juice, and tucked her into the child seat in the back of the car.
“Wait a moment,” Song Shuangtian said. She used a lace fan to cover most of her face. “You are not allowed to tell my aunt that I am pregnant.”
Ji Mingxue stood there with her mouth half open. She had been overwhelmed with joy and wanted the whole world to know her wife was pregnant. “Why?”
Ji Mingxue did not understand. She knew their aunt loved Song Shuangtian and felt guilty for not taking care of her in the past.
Song Shuangtian coughed unnaturally. “Wait until it is confirmed. I do not want her to be happy for nothing.”
Ji Mingxue thought that made sense. “Tiantian is very thoughtful. I will not tell her.”
With Guanguan in the car, Ji Mingxue did not dare to drive fast. She drove home at a speed of less than ten kilometers per hour. This caused the drivers of passing tractors and electric scooters to look back repeatedly.
Guanguan, in the back seat, still tasted like sweet watermelon. “Mother, is Mommy not feeling well?”
Guanguan could clearly smell the scent of disinfectant on her parents. In her eyes, Mother was always healthy, so the one going to the hospital must be Mommy.
Ji Mingxue was startled. “Mommy has a bit of heatstroke.”
Ji Mingxue had not thought about how to explain to Guanguan that there would be another child. She never thought Song Shuangtian would get pregnant again. In all her plans, Guanguan was the sole heir to M Group and Reborn, and she would also inherit shares in the cruise company from her aunt. But now there was another child. Ji Mingxue decided to be twice as good to Guanguan. She would never let either of the two children feel neglected.
Song Shuangtian stumbled home and headed straight for the bedroom. She turned the closet upside down and found Ji Mingxue’s clothes.
“My body is so hot!”
Song Shuangtian’s reason melted away with her body temperature. Even though Ji Mingxue had just moved in with her, the apartment was filled with her scent. Song Shuangtian piled Ji Mingxue’s clothes on the bed and hugged a white shirt tightly.
The expensive custom shirt was crumpled into a ball and held by the curled up Omega. It smelled of Ji Mingxue’s Alpha pheromones, making Song Shuangtian think of her wearing this shirt at important events, or perhaps picking out roses for her at a flower shop.
The Omega knew her behavior was wrong, but she could no longer endure the surging pheromones in her body. That hateful person! Song Shuangtian thought she hated Ji Mingxue. She hated her for releasing pheromones and claiming she was taking care of a pregnant woman.
The fabric of the shirt was soft, and it seemed to retain Ji Mingxue’s body temperature. Song Shuangtian felt like she was melting. She buried herself in the nest made of Ji Mingxue’s clothes and found a moment of peace. Perhaps she could use the clothes for something else. Ji Mingxue had wronged her anyway, so what if she used her clothes?
Song Shuangtian threw her dress aside and put on the wrinkled shirt. The Alpha was half a head taller than her, and her frame was larger. The shirt fell just at the top of her thighs. Song Shuangtian picked up one of Ji Mingxue’s dresses and rubbed her cheek against the smooth silk fabric. In her daze, she picked up a pair of black silk gloves and put them on. A dark fragrance floated in the closed bedroom.
The sun had set by the time Ji Mingxue returned home from the nursing home. She had brought organic watermelon and other fruits and vegetables for her aunt. Her aunt had set up a small area in the backyard of the nursing home villa to grow flowers and vegetables.
Ji Mingxue chatted with her about M Group’s plans to enter the agricultural business. Her aunt remained calm, but Ji Mingxue knew she was satisfied. Before she left, her aunt called out to her.
“Reborn’s development is on the right track. There is no need for Song Shuangtian to worry about everything,” her aunt said.
“You are right,” Ji Mingxue replied.
Mrs. Qiu handed her a gift box of pastries. “I made some snacks because I was bored. Take them and eat them with Song Shuangtian. As a partner of Reborn and as Song Shuangtian’s fiancée, you need to help her share some of the pressure.”
“Rest assured, leave the work to me,” Ji Mingxue said politely.
Mrs. Qiu was satisfied. “Go back now. You do not need to keep trying to please me.”
Mrs. Qiu looked at the piles of gems on the table with a headache. Was Ji Mingxue just burning through money? Why did she bring a large number of gems every time? Among the gems was a gold apple weighing four pounds. Was she trying to please her because she liked apples? It was childish.
As Ji Mingxue left, Mrs. Qiu leaned back and napped. She had been worried that her niece had fallen for an irresponsible person with no proper job, but she was now somewhat relieved to see Ji Mingxue. Setting aside the grievances of the previous generation, Ji Mingxue was the best marriage partner for Song Shuangtian.
Ji Mingxue carried the pastries and opened the door to Song Shuangtian’s home. Guanguan had insisted on sleeping with her aunt today, so Ji Mingxue had returned alone.
The Pregnancy Guide stated that pregnant Omegas need long term pheromone accompaniment from an Alpha; otherwise, they might face difficult labor. Song Shuangtian had been lucky to give birth to Guanguan smoothly, and Ji Mingxue did not want to risk it a second time.
“Tiantian?” Ji Mingxue called out at the door, but no one answered. She put on her slippers and walked around the room. “Chairman?”
Ji Mingxue put the pastry box on the table. “I bought some groceries. What would you like to eat? I will cook for you.” She put the groceries and fruits in the kitchen. She washed a basket of strawberries and put them in a glass bowl.
The lights were on, so Song Shuangtian should be at home. After checking all the rooms, she heard a rustling sound in the bedroom. “Tiantian, are you sleeping?”
Ji Mingxue knocked, but there was no response, and the sound increased. She pushed the door open, and the sudden rush of pheromones almost made her cough. Ji Mingxue, who was sensitive to Song Shuangtian’s pheromones, could not help but enter her susceptible period just by smelling them.
“Tiantian.”
When she saw the scene before her, Ji Mingxue’s breath hitched. The bed was piled with her own clothes, all wrinkled, and some were stained with moisture. The Omega lay on the bed, curled into a ball. She could see half a glove inside the shirt.
Ji Mingxue’s brain felt like it had been hit by lightning. She stepped forward and hugged Song Shuangtian. “Tiantian!”
Her Tiantian had actually done this while she was away. Ji Mingxue felt a headache. She used one hand to comfort Song Shuangtian’s back and used the other to flip through the Pregnancy Guide.
On page 273, it stated: Pregnant women will develop a dependence on Alpha pheromones during pregnancy, thereby entering an incomplete heat season. An Alpha must not forcibly mark the Omega during this period, as it will lead to abnormal pheromones for the fetus. It is recommended to use pheromones to soothe them. If that is ineffective, a temporary mark can be tried.
The Omega buried her face in Ji Mingxue’s arms and listened to her heartbeat. Song Shuangtian felt their breaths were about to melt together. The lights were not on, and the full moon shone on the lovers.
“Song Shuangtian, calm down,” Ji Mingxue said, her throat moving.
“You are responsible for this! Mark me quickly!” Song Shuangtian said, her voice muffled.
“The Pregnancy Guide says,” Ji Mingxue began.
Song Shuangtian tore the Pregnancy Guide in half and threw it on the floor.
Ji Mingxue wanted to stop her, but the guide was already falling apart. She thought to herself that she should have taken more copies at the hospital.
“Mark me quickly!” Song Shuangtian glared at her.
Ji Mingxue had already felt the impulse from the pheromones, but she did not dare act. She had learned to endure during the days Song Shuangtian was away. Only through endurance could she keep her wife.
To hell with it. Ji Mingxue could not endure anymore. She pierced the Omega’s glands with her teeth.
Having received enough pheromones, the shackles on Song Shuangtian’s body seemed to vanish. She glared at Ji Mingxue, climbed up weakly, and locked herself in the bathroom. After a moment, the bathroom door opened a crack.
Song Shuangtian’s head popped out. “Reborn is a bit busy lately. Go to work for me. The computer password is,” she said before slamming the door shut. Before doing so, she picked up a slipper from the floor and threw it at the Pregnancy Guide.
Ji Mingxue picked up the Pregnancy Guide and smoothed out every page. She found some brown paper and wrapped it like a student wrapping a textbook. The Pregnancy Guide was important; she could not let Song Shuangtian have her way on this matter.
The Alpha helplessly cleaned up the mess on the bed. These clothes were made of materials that could not just be thrown into the washing machine. If she sent them to the dry cleaner, anyone would notice something was wrong. Ji Mingxue found a bottle of red wine, pulled the cork, and poured it over the custom clothes.
“Assistant Xu, contact the dry cleaner. I have over twenty pieces of clothing that need washing,” she said on the phone. She hung up and put the wine soaked clothes in a plastic bag at the door.
In the Chairman’s office at Reborn, Ji Mingxue’s desk was piled with documents waiting for her review. Only the ones she deemed qualified would be given to Song Shuangtian for signing.
“President Ji, here is a proposal for next quarter’s events that needs your review,” an employee said. The staff felt that Ji Mingxue was nicer than Song Shuangtian, who was very fierce at work. Ji Mingxue greeted everyone politely and gave gifts to every employee on her first day.
Yuan Yin came to the office to hang out, but when she pushed the door open, she saw Ji Mingxue. She slammed the door shut and then opened it again two seconds later. “Did I open the door the wrong way?”
Ji Mingxue was working hard, reading ten lines at a glance. She was so nervous that she was sweating. Yuan Yin finally annoyed her by opening and closing the door repeatedly.
“If you do not want to come in, then get lost,” Ji Mingxue said.
“Who are you? Why should I get lost?” Yuan Yin asked.
Ji Mingxue held up her work ID as the Secretary to the Chairman. “I am an employee of Reborn.”
Yuan Yin wondered if the Board of Directors knew about this secretary. The air in the office was busy as Ji Mingxue flipped through documents. Yuan Yin took a video and sent it to Song Shuangtian. Song Shuangtian was at Guanguan’s kindergarten for a flea market. She saw the video and typed: “Ask President Ji if she is busy with work.”
“Are you busy?” Yuan Yin asked.
“Song Shuangtian asked me to ask you if you are busy with work right now,” Yuan Yin said with a broad smile.
It was definitely not easy. Ji Mingxue did not expect that after Song Shuangtian had been away from work for only two days, the pending work would overwhelm her. “I am busy.”
“Song Shuangtian said she gave the staff in the secretary’s office a holiday, so President Ji also needs to be responsible for their work,” Yuan Yin said, looking at the chat.
Ji Mingxue’s pen slipped, drawing an ugly line. She realized her Omega was getting revenge. When Song Shuangtian worked at M Group, Ji Mingxue had put her in the secretary’s office. Now, the President, who used to just attend meetings and drink coffee, was facing a huge amount of work for the first time. She had to manage both Reborn and M Group. The boomerang of her past actions had finally hit her.
“Song Shuangtian said the work she arranged for you will help you take over the position of Secretary to the Chairman efficiently. She hopes you work hard; maybe you can get a promotion one day,” Yuan Yin said.
“If I invest now, I can be promoted to a shareholder,” Ji Mingxue retorted.
Yuan Yin showed her the phone screen. A message appeared: “No chatting during work hours. Go home before five in the afternoon. Also, our company does not accept any investment from Ji Mingxue. If you want to repay me, you can do so physically.”
Ji Mingxue knew she was wrong.
Song Shuangtian stared at the aching area in the mirror. She began to look forward to Ji Mingxue finishing work. She looked down and squeezed it; it felt even more swollen.
