Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 1

【Shocking! Song Yuan Suspected of Checking into a Hotel with a Mysterious Girlfriend!!!】

A photo of “Song Yuan” in a hotel room suddenly surfaced online.

Although the image was blurry, capturing only half of the girl’s profile, her features were still discernible.

According to paparazzi reports, Song Yuan and her mysterious girlfriend stayed in a hotel suite that night and didn’t leave until late.

Song Yuan’s reputation in the industry wasn’t exactly stellar.

As an Alpha, she had the face of a seductress voluptuous and curvaceous and was constantly embroiled in romantic scandals. Almost every co-star she worked with, regardless of being an Alpha or Omega, ended up in a rumored affair with her, leaving her with a mix of infamy and popularity.

When Song Yuan saw the trending topic, she broke out in a cold sweat, fearing her agent would call to demand an explanation.

Sure enough, the phone rang almost immediately, and her agent yelled without preamble, “Song Yuan! Are you trying to kill me?! How many times have I told you? Don’t stir up gossip at such a critical time! Keep your distance from people in the industry, understand?!”

Song Yuan hurriedly tried to explain, “Sister Luo, I—”

“Shut up! Post a clarification on Weibo right now, or you’ll regret it!”

“Alright, alright. I’ll reply to you after I post it.” Song Yuan hung up and quickly drafted a message.

【Song Yuan v: Everyone, please don’t misunderstand. This photo is from a drama. Wei Yang and I were just filming, it wasn’t a hotel rendezvous. Please don’t spread rumors! @Wei Yang】

After sending the message, Song Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This was from a drama she had recently filmed with Wei Yang, Silent Lover, which hadn’t aired yet. She had no idea how the photo had leaked.

She thought the matter would end with her clarification. But it was far from over.

The comments section only grew more lively.

【Is this for real?】

【I trust Song Yuan’s acting skills, but her personal life is just too messy. I suspect this is a publicity stunt!】

【Same here. Over the years, Song Yuan has had scandals with almost every co-star she’s worked with. She really doesn’t discriminate Alphas or Omegas, she goes for them all.】

【Let’s wait and see. I’m curious about Wei Yang’s statement!】

【Where are Song Yuan’s fans? Why so quiet? Aren’t you going to defend your idol?】

【@Song Yuan’s Fans v: Hmph, some people just love using shady tactics! Our sister is innocent. Hope you don’t let this affect your mood~ Love you~】

【Song Yuan’s Fans v: @Wei Yang v, please respond quickly. We need you to confirm that our sister is innocent~ Thanks~ Love you~】

At this point, if Wei Yang had issued a straightforward statement, the matter would have ended. But after a long wait, Wei Yang posted an ambiguous reply.

【Wei Yang v: Thank you for your concern. Whatever Song Yuan says goes! I respect her choices!】

As soon as this message went live, everyone sensed drama.

It seemed as if something had indeed happened between them during filming, but Song Yuan didn’t want to acknowledge the relationship, and Wei Yang had no choice but to play along with her clarification.

Instantly, Song Yuan’s comments section exploded.

Many anti-fans were criticizing Song Yuan for being indiscreet, flirtatious, and promiscuous, even digging up her past scandals. It seemed that with every drama she filmed, she was involved in romantic rumors, often even love triangles or quadrangles, earning her the reputation of an ultimate heartbreaker.

Reading these gossip stories, Song Yuan began to doubt herself had she really been single her entire life?

Seeing Song Yuan being torn apart online, her manager, Sister Luo, couldn’t sit back any longer.

She scolded Song Yuan harshly, “Song Yuan, I warned you earlier that I’m in the middle of negotiating a very important film role for you. You need to keep a low profile!”

“But look at you! The moment I take my eyes off you, you stir up trouble again. Are you trying to ruin your own career?!”

Song Yuan gritted her teeth. “Sister Luo, this has nothing to do with me! On set, aside from filming, I hardly exchanged a word with anyone. It must be Wei Yang trying to ride on my coattails and drag me into this mess!”

“Of course, I know Wei Yang’s team is behind this for clout. The question now is how we handle the situation!”

As she spoke, Sister Luo poked Song Yuan’s cheek in frustration. “Song Yuan, Song Yuan, why does an Alpha like you have such a seductive face? Do you have any idea how many good roles you’ve missed because of it?”

Song Yuan rescued her poor cheek from Sister Luo’s fingers and protested innocently, “How is that my fault?!”

Sister Luo let out an exasperated laugh. “Just behave yourself these next few days. I’ll take care of this.”

“Thank you, Sister Luo!”

True to her reputation as a top-tier manager, Sister Luo acted swiftly. After coordinating with the PR team, she immediately released the original scene footage on Weibo to debunk the rumors.

When Wei Yang’s team saw that it was the official account of Silent Lovers, they promptly reposted it with a supportive message:

[Video] Wei Yang v: This is a scene from Silent Lovers featuring Song Yuan and me. Song Yuan is truly a dedicated professional, and we had a great collaboration. Please refrain from making baseless assumptions. Thank you, everyone. @Nine Songs Official Account @Song Yuan v

Once this post went live, the online uproar gradually subsided.

Song Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of a gold-medal manager, Sister Luo soon returned with good news, she had successfully secured the female lead role in a new film by a renowned director.

Given Song Yuan’s history of scandals, Sister Luo specifically instructed her to avoid any public events before filming began.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Song Yuan obediently agreed.

With all her schedules on hold, Song Yuan decided to visit an orphanage to observe children, as her new role required her to portray a single mother to a five-year-old girl.

The orphanage was located in a remote area but had a serene and beautiful environment. Two tall trees stood outside the gate, their lush branches casting shade over the entrance.

Song Yuan and her assistant followed a teacher inside, where the children turned to look at them in unison.

Dressed in simple clothes, the children beamed with innocent, enthusiastic smiles.

The orphanage teacher introduced Song Yuan to the kids, “Children, this lovely lady is Auntie Song Yuan. She came here today especially to see you!”

The children chattered excitedly as they crowded around, eagerly stretching out their chubby little hands to greet her.

“You’re all so adorable~” Song Yuan crouched down, gently patting each of their fluffy heads.

A little girl stepped forward and said, “Auntie, you’re so pretty!”

“I think you’re pretty too! Auntie, can I hug you?”

Song Yuan smiled. “Of course, all of you can come.”

The children swarmed over, and Song Yuan embraced each one in turn.

These children were well-behaved and obedient, not noisy or rowdy. They just stared longingly at the toys in Song Yuan’s arms. She gently patted their heads and said, “Do you like them? Should we share them with everyone now?”

“Wow! That’s great! Thank you, pretty auntie!”

The children cheered and gathered around Song Yuan. She patiently stayed with them until dusk before leaving the orphanage.

Feeling a bit downhearted, she walked to her car. Her assistant opened the door for her but suddenly let out a startled cry. “Song! Sister Song, whose child is this?”

Following her assistant’s gaze, Song Yuan looked inside and saw a small figure curled up on the back seat. The child had soft, dark hair cascading over her shoulders and was sound asleep, clutching Song Yuan’s jacket.

Song Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. She leaned in for a closer look and saw the child sleeping deeply, her small mouth tightly closed. As if sensing discomfort, she furrowed her brow slightly.

The assistant couldn’t help but murmur, “Whose little girl is this? She’s so exquisitely beautiful.”

Song Yuan froze for a moment, then slowly stepped closer to the car.

The little girl’s long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyelids trembled before opening to reveal pitch-black pupils.

“You’re awake? Little one, how did you end up in our car?” Song Yuan asked softly, careful not to frighten her.

The girl blinked twice, then suddenly jumped out of the car and threw herself into Song Yuan’s arms. “Mommy!”

It all happened in an instant. Caught off guard, Song Yuan staggered back a few steps and nearly fell, saved only by her assistant’s quick support.

“Sister Song, why is this child calling you Mommy?” the assistant asked, looking at the girl in surprise.

Song Yuan was stunned for a moment before bending down to hold the child. “Sweetheart, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not your mommy.”

“Mommy, find Mommy!” the little girl pouted, her eyes welling up as she looked into the distance.

Song Yuan paused, then instinctively followed the girl’s gaze. Sure enough, a silver-gray Rolls-Royce was parked not far away.

She quickly disentangled herself from the clinging child and hurried toward the Rolls-Royce.

But the luxury car sped off before she could reach it. Song Yuan chased after it for a few steps before giving up.

Turning back, she saw the little girl standing by the roadside, tilting her head up as if on the verge of tears.

Song Yuan rushed over to comfort her. “Don’t be sad, okay? Auntie will definitely help you find your family.”

“Wah!”

The girl crouched by the roadside, hugging her knees as she cried a heartbroken, restrained sobbing, like a lost child.

Seeing this, Song Yuan flusteredly tried to soothe her, but the little girl refused to say another word. She just clung to Song Yuan’s clothes, silently weeping.

With a helpless sigh, Song Yuan picked her up and got into the car.

The assistant looked at her uncertainly. “Sister Song, this little girl.”

Song Yuan frowned. “Let’s take her to the hospital first!”

She wasn’t speaking at all, if not for her earlier words, they might have thought she was mute.

The assistant could only nod and drive them to the city’s best hospital.

The little girl remained curled up on Song Yuan’s lap. Song Yuan wiped her face with a wet wipe, but the child didn’t pull away. She just held tightly onto Song Yuan, burying her face in her embrace as she cried silently.

After crying for a while, probably exhausted, the child fell asleep right there in her arms.

Song Yuan looked at the child in her embrace and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

How could such an adorable child’s parents be so heartless as to abandon them?
