Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 29.2

The moon, as if shy, hid itself behind the clouds, no longer daring to watch.

In an instant, countless memories surged back into Song Yuan’s mind, and she recalled the events that had taken place on the variety show five years ago.

Truth be told, five years ago, Yu Jin and Song Yuan had gotten along quite well during the show until that night. After that night, Yu Jin temporarily withdrew from the entertainment industry, and her relationship with Song Yuan soured.

That night, Yu Jin was drunk and had been drugged. In her dazed state, she stumbled into Song Yuan’s room.

At the time, Song Yuan had also been drinking. Lured by Yu Jin’s pheromones, her Enigma nature awakened, and the two of them ended up entangled in an unexpected encounter.

However, because Song Yuan was an Enigma, she completely forgot about the incident after spending that night with Yu Jin. It wasn’t until this recent encounter with Yu Jin that the fragmented memories were finally unlocked.

As Song Yuan looked down at Yu Jin’s flushed face, her emotions were complex. But the current situation left no room for overthinking.

She had now recalled everything that happened five years ago. Looking back, Yu Jin’s recent attitude toward her was completely understandable.

Song Yuan cursed herself inwardly, wishing she could slap herself twice.

If it weren’t for her, Yu Jin would never have suffered from pheromonal torment, nor would she have transformed from a perfectly healthy Alpha into an Omega.

Back at the hospital, Chen Man had already hinted that Yu Jin’s out-of-control pheromones were closely linked to an Enigma. And that Enigma was none other than Song Yuan herself.

Song Yuan felt both guilty and heartbroken for Yu Jin, who had endured those five years alone.

But now that she remembered the events of that night, she was determined to take responsibility and care for Yu Jin properly, making up for the five lost years.

Song Yuan had never experienced anything like this before. Although Yu Jin’s heat period had subsided, she still couldn’t shake her unease.

She carried Yu Jin to the bathroom to clean her up, then dressed her.

Yu Jin was likely exhausted, allowing Song Yuan to handle everything without showing any signs of waking.

Half an hour later, Song Yuan brought the still-unconscious Yu Jin to Chen Man.

“Dr. Chen, Ah Jin’s heat period is over, but she hasn’t woken up yet.”

Chen Man gestured for Song Yuan to remain calm, then used a device to examine Yu Jin. The results showed that Yu Jin’s heat period had indeed ended.

Moreover, although Yu Jin’s pheromone dysregulation syndrome remained severe, it had improved compared to her last hospital visit.

If Yu Jin could avoid using suppressants and rely on Song Yuan to get through her heat periods, her chaotic pheromones would gradually stabilize, no longer teetering on the edge of constant flare-ups.

As Chen Man put away the examination tools, Song Yuan anxiously pressed for answers.

“How is she? Is Ah Jin’s condition normal?”

Chen Man remembered how, during Song Yuan’s last visit, she had referred to Yu Jin as “Miss Yu” with polite formality. Today, however, her tone had shifted, and the way she addressed Yu Jin sounded much more intimate.

Noticing Song Yuan’s worried expression, Chen Man’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.

“Yu Jin’s pheromones have stabilized for now. But what about you? Have you remembered anything?”

While examining Yu Jin earlier, she couldn’t help but notice the suggestive marks on Yu Jin’s exposed skin.

Moreover, Yu Jin hadn’t used strong suppressants, yet her heat period had passed safely. And it was Song Yuan who had brought her in. It was hard for Chen Man not to read between the lines.

Chen Man’s hint was quite obvious. Song Yuan felt a rush of heat surge to the top of her head, and her face flushed instantly in embarrassment.

She let out an awkward, dry laugh. Some of the unreasonable events that had occurred earlier had already given Song Yuan a few suspicions.

“Um… Dr. Chen, I have a question.”

Chen Man picked up her thermos, took a sip of water, and tilted her chin toward Song Yuan.

“Go ahead.”

“Is Luoluo my and Ah Jin’s child?”

Luoluo and Yu Jin were unusually close, and besides Luoluo, Song Yuan had never seen Yu Jin take the initiative to interact with any other child.

In fact, Luoluo had been calling Yu Jin “Mommy” from the very beginning.

Song Yuan had initially thought it was because of the influence of that variety show, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all.

Sure enough, the next moment, Song Yuan heard Chen Man’s reply.

“Seems like even your intelligence has improved after awakening as an Enigma,” Chen Man chuckled softly, a teasing tone in her voice.

Chen Man’s words were tantamount to confirming Song Yuan’s speculation. Originally, Song Yuan had thought Luoluo was an orphan, but now it seemed that her encounter with Luoluo that day had been arranged in advance by Yu Jin.

Although Song Yuan had mentally prepared herself, hearing Chen Man’s answer still left her with a complicated mix of emotions.

Now that she and Yu Jin had been intimate again and she had regained all her memories, should she tell Yu Jin?

For a moment, Song Yuan didn’t know what to do, so she instinctively turned her gaze to Chen Man.

She didn’t know Chen Man well, but after these recent events, she could tell that Chen Man and Yu Jin were friends.

Otherwise, Chen Man wouldn’t know about what had happened between Yu Jin and her five years ago, nor would she know that Luoluo was their child.

Song Yuan lifted her eyes, filled with worry and uncertainty.

“Dr. Chen, Ah Jin never told me about what happened five years ago. Does that mean she didn’t want me to remember? Should I still tell her that I’ve regained my memories?”

Hearing Song Yuan’s question, Chen Man shook her head and straightened her expression.

“Song Yuan, this is a matter between you and Ah Jin. I have no right to interfere. As for whether you should tell her about your regained memories, you’ll have to decide for yourself.”

Seeing that Chen Man had no intention of getting involved in her and Yu Jin’s relationship, Song Yuan didn’t press further and instead began pondering her next steps in silence.

Chen Man still had work to attend to. After prescribing some medication to help regulate Yu Jin’s pheromones and giving Song Yuan a few instructions on things to watch out for, she turned and left the hospital room.

It was already late into the night when Yu Jin woke up. As she opened her eyes, she felt weak and sore all over.

But as her thoughts returned, Yu Jin recalled what had happened before she lost consciousness, and her face instantly darkened.

She tried to prop herself up to sit, but suddenly a face leaned in close the very culprit responsible for her current state!

“Ah Jin, you.”

Without a second thought, Yu Jin slapped Song Yuan across the face in shame and anger.

“Get out!”

Song Yuan had already made up her mind to tell Yu Jin about her regained memories, but seeing Yu Jin like this made her hesitate again.

If she told Yu Jin, would Yu Jin try to kill her outright?

Frustrated, Song Yuan could only bury the words she had planned to say deep in her heart.

“Ah Jin, how are you feeling?”

Yu Jin kept a cold expression and didn’t respond.

She got off the hospital bed, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs felt weak.

“Be careful!”

Seeing Yu Jin about to fall, Song Yuan quickly reached out to steady her. Yu Jin braced herself against the hospital bed to regain her balance and slapped Song Yuan’s hand away.

“Don’t touch me!”

Song Yuan withdrew her hand, the back of it slightly reddened. She glanced at Yu Jin with a hint of grievance.

Yu Jin was too uncomfortable to care about Song Yuan at the moment.

Just the thought of how she had been rejected by Song Yuan the previous night, yet still ended up entangled with her, filled Yu Jin with a mix of shame and irritation.

She picked up the coat from her bed and walked out. Song Yuan wanted to reach out and stop her but was afraid Yu Jin would dislike it, so she followed closely behind.

“Jin, slow down.”

They walked from the hospital to the entrance. Seeing Yu Jin step to the roadside to hail a taxi, Song Yuan could no longer hold back. She pressed down Yu Jin’s arm, unwilling to let her go back alone in this state.

“Jin, come home with me.”

Yu Jin shook off her hand and glared at Song Yuan with a mix of embarrassment and anger.

“Who wants to go to your home!”

As Yu Jin tried to continue hailing a taxi, Song Yuan, seeing her determination, wrapped her arms around Yu Jin and held her close.

Half embracing and half forcing her, Song Yuan guided Yu Jin toward the parking area.

“Let me go! Who said you could touch me!”

Song Yuan sighed helplessly. “I know you’re angry with me, but we’re in public. Whether you want to hit me or scold me, let’s wait until we get home, okay? Besides, Luoluo is at home. If she wakes up and doesn’t see either of us, she’ll worry.”

Yu Jin struggled a few times but was eventually led into the car by Song Yuan.

Unbeknownst to them, someone had secretly taken a photo of the two embracing.

Without Song Yuan’s knowledge, public opinion began to stir once again.

[YuanYuan’s Official Partner:] The person in YuanYuan’s arms looks so much like Yu Jin! I can’t accept this! I’m YuanYuan’s true partner!

[Attendant of Lady Jin:] Why are Jin and Song Yuan at the hospital entrance? And why does our Jin look so pale? What has Song Yuan done to her?

[Everlasting Companions:] Front-row seat for the drama. It seems the news released by Actress Yu is true, no joke. These two are really together. But they both look so good, and they make a pleasing pair. Not bad, not bad.

[White Fruit:] Don’t just pair them up randomly, okay? Actress Yu has both looks and acting skills. What does Song Yuan have? A pile of scandals? I just hope Actress Yu will open her eyes soon and stay away from Song Yuan!

[Song Yuan is a Stranger Now:] I’m done being a fan. I’ve supported Song Yuan for ten years, and lately, I’ve been fighting with Yu Jin’s fans for her sake. But what does she do? She turns around and gets together with Yu Jin, without even considering us fans! It’s truly disheartening!

By the time they returned home, Luoluo was already awake, sitting on the sofa and clutching her rabbit plushie.

Hearing the door open, Luoluo slid off the sofa and ran over to them, wrapping her arms around them.

Her voice was tinged with grievance, tears welling in her eyes.

“Mommy, Mama, where did you go? Luoluo thought you didn’t want me anymore.”

Song Yuan’s heart ached. She quickly crouched down to comfort Luoluo. “Luoluo is so good, so cute, and so sensible. Mommy would never abandon you.”

Yu Jin, too, set aside her differences with Song Yuan and joined in comforting Luoluo.
