Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 29.3
“That’s right, Mama would never abandon Luoluo.”
Reassured by their promises, Luoluo relaxed slightly, though a trace of unease remained.
“Then why didn’t Luoluo see Mommy and Mama when I woke up?”
Song Yuan apologized and explained, “I’m sorry, Luoluo. Mommy and Mama had something urgent to attend to, so we went out for a bit. Next time we go out, we’ll definitely tell you in advance, okay?”
“Okay,” Luoluo nodded.
Looking at her obedient daughter, Song Yuan felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
She was very fond of Luoluo, but she never expected that the two of them would share such a deep connection they were actually related by blood.
Just as Song Yuan was lost in her thoughts, Yu Jin’s voice came from behind her.
“Luoluo, could you go back to your room for a bit? Mommy has something to discuss with your mother.”
Luoluo glanced at Yu Jin, then turned to look at Song Yuan. Sensing that both her mother and mommy were acting strangely today, she bit her lip, obediently nodded, and quietly left the room.
After Luoluo returned to her room, Song Yuan walked over and closed the door behind her. She then turned and went back to the living room, took out a cup, poured some water for Yu Jin, and carefully measured out the prescribed dosage of medicine from the hospital before handing it to her.
Yu Jin glanced at it, let out a cold snort, and refused to take it.
Feeling helpless, Song Yuan firmly grasped Yu Jin’s hand and placed the pills in her palm.
“This medicine is to help regulate your pheromones. It was prescribed by Dr. Liu.”
“I know you’re angry, but harming your health over it isn’t worth it. We can talk things through slowly. If you want to hit me or scold me, I’ll take it.”
Yu Jin was too furious to pay any attention to Song Yuan.
In the past, Song Yuan would have already lost her temper she had never been one to wait on others. But ever since learning about what had happened five years ago, she had been carrying a sense of guilt toward Yu Jin.
Seeing that Song Yuan was still being patient, Yu Jin began to feel that something was off. Even if she and Song Yuan had been intimate, it had only happened under the influence of her pheromones. She had tested Song Yuan’s patience repeatedly, and while it was understandable that Song Yuan had tolerated it once or twice, from the hospital until now, Yu Jin hadn’t shown her the slightest kindness. Yet, Song Yuan not only refrained from getting angry but also served her without complaint.
Frowning, Yu Jin pressed her thin lips together and finally spoke.
“Song Yuan, have you remembered something?”
Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at Song Yuan, making her appear pitiful and vulnerable.
Recalling what she had done five years ago and everything that had happened recently, Song Yuan felt like a complete monster. Seeing Yu Jin’s mix of anger and hurt left her flustered and unsure of what to do.
“Please, let me explain! I…”
“Last night, I originally intended to take you to the hospital but home was too far, and you wouldn’t have been able to hold on until we got there.”
Song Yuan stammered, caught off guard by Yu Jin’s sharp intuition. She hadn’t even done much, yet Yu Jin had already sensed something was wrong. Now, Song Yuan had no idea how to explain herself.
Listening from the side, Yu Jin grew increasingly frustrated as Song Yuan evaded the issue, unable to give a clear explanation. It seemed as though she was trying to hide something.
Her face darkened, and a sharp pain shot through her chest. In a fit of anger, she grabbed a cushion from the sofa and hurled it at Song Yuan.
Song Yuan didn’t dodge, allowing the cushion to hit her. The cushion was soft, and Yu Jin hadn’t thrown it with much force, so it didn’t hurt.
Tears welled up in Yu Jin’s eyes as she shouted, “Song Yuan! You’re such a scoundrel!”
Yu Jin had already suspected something, and Song Yuan’s behavior only confirmed her suspicions.
“You definitely remembered! And here you are, pretending like nothing happened!”
Yu Jin, who had originally been an Alpha, had been forcibly turned into an Omega because of Song Yuan. Over the years, she had endured both psychological torment and the turmoil of her pheromones.
As a celebrated actress adored by millions, she had never suffered such humiliation before.
If it weren’t for the fact that the person standing before her was Song Yuan, Yu Jin would have long torn the other to pieces!
Moreover, although Song Yuan claimed not to remember before, her current demeanor clearly indicated she had recalled everything. Yet, she refused to admit it was she planning to shirk responsibility?
The mere thought of how she had endured pregnancy alone, given birth to Luoluo, and painstakingly raised her all these years, while Song Yuan recklessly flirted with other starlets outside, filled Yu Jin with resentment.
“Ah Jin, please calm down, alright?”
“Since I did such a thing to you yesterday, I will definitely take responsibility.”
Yu Jin’s emotions were too volatile at the moment. Song Yuan wanted to persuade her to settle down so they could discuss matters properly.
But who would have thought that after Song Yuan spoke, Yu Jin grew even angrier?
Her eyes red, she glared at Song Yuan, snatched the TV remote, and hurled it at her.
“Who needs you to take responsibility? What responsibility do you think you can even handle?”
The remote flew past Song Yuan, its batteries scattering, and one corner of the remote shattered.
With that force, if it had hit Song Yuan’s head, it would have at least left a large bump, if not drawn blood.
But Yu Jin probably had no intention of harming Song Yuan; otherwise, the remote would have been aimed directly at her.
Song Yuan felt a headache coming on and pressed her fingers to her temples.
“Ah Jin, calm down.”
“My time is precious. Since you don’t intend to say anything, there’s no need for me to waste time here with you.”
With that, Yu Jin turned and strode toward the door, clearly unwilling to continue the conversation.
Seeing this, Song Yuan quickly reached out to grab Yu Jin’s hand, her heart flustered, a vague premonition stirring within her.
If she let Yu Jin leave like this today, they might never have a chance to talk properly again.
Yu Jin lifted her gaze, glaring at Song Yuan with smoldering resentment in her eyes.
“Song Yuan! What are you doing? Let go of me now!”
She struggled to pry Song Yuan’s hand away but couldn’t break free.
Noticing that Yu Jin’s wrist was turning red, Song Yuan reluctantly released her grip.
Yu Jin snorted coldly, took a large step back, and made to leave again, but Song Yuan blocked her path.
“Ah Jin, calm down. I will definitely give you an explanation, but please give me some time, alright?”
Song Yuan’s tone was gentle, and upon hearing it, Yu Jin’s heart tightened, halting her in place.
The two stood facing each other, the atmosphere around them growing heavy.
Just as Song Yuan was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang from her pocket.
Picking it up, she saw it was her agent, Luo Wei, calling.
Luo Wei wouldn’t call unless it was important.
Song Yuan answered the call, and Luo Wei’s voice came through.
“Song Yuan! You’ve seen what’s been happening online lately. Since Yu Jin went public about your relationship, the buzz has been intense. Juxing Media has taken notice of your popularity and wants to invite you to star in a film. This is a great opportunity! They’re pressing for an answer should I accept on your behalf right now?”
Juxing Media, that was the company founded by that woman!
At the mention of Juxing Media, Song Yuan’s face darkened instantly. A chill seemed to radiate from her, her eyes turning gloomy. Even Yu Jin, standing beside her, could sense that something was wrong.
Previously, Yu Jin’s attitude towards Song Yuan hadn’t been particularly good. Although Song Yuan had lost her temper before, it had never been like this.
What could Song Yuan have heard to cause such a sudden change in her attitude?
Song Yuan’s voice was icy, carrying a chilling coldness.
“Sister Weiwei, I know you want me to take this job for my own good, but I won’t collaborate with anyone from Polaris Media. Reject any project that comes from Polaris Media!”
Luo Wei had initially thought Song Yuan would agree, never expecting her to refuse the collaboration offer from Polaris Media.
After all, Polaris Media was the hottest entertainment company in the entire industry, and many artists were eager to work with them.
Song Yuan had been in the industry for some years now and surely knew Polaris Media’s standing. How could she outright reject all collaboration projects with them?
Moreover, over the years, although Song Yuan had occasionally been involved in rumors with other female artists, she had generally been obedient and worked diligently.
Even for smaller projects, Song Yuan would put in serious effort, showing she had career ambition.
Polaris Media’s status in the entertainment industry was undeniably high. If Song Yuan agreed to collaborate with them, her career would undoubtedly reach new heights.
Yu Jin, standing nearby, naturally heard Song Yuan’s words. Collaborating with Polaris Media would bring Song Yuan countless benefits with no drawbacks, so she couldn’t understand why Song Yuan would refuse.
However, since she and Song Yuan were still on bad terms, she had no standing to persuade her and could only remain quietly by the side.
Luo Wei didn’t want Song Yuan to give up this opportunity so easily and continued to persuade her.
“Yuan, my dear, projects from Polaris Media are worth ten times any ordinary project. If you sign with them this time, your acting resources could skyrocket. This is an opportunity many artists can only dream of!”
Despite this, Song Yuan’s attitude remained resolute.
“No matter what conditions Polaris Media offers, I absolutely will not agree to collaborate with them. Sister Weiwei, just help me reject it.”
Song Yuan’s voice was cold and unyielding. It was the first time Luo Wei had seen her so adamantly refuse something.
Yu Jin, standing nearby, was also surprised by Song Yuan’s forceful attitude. It seemed that even back at the hospital, she had vaguely sensed that Song Yuan was somewhat different from before.
In truth, since awakening as an Enigma, Song Yuan’s physical strength, intelligence, and other abilities had significantly improved, and her behavior had become more dominant, though her overall personality hadn’t changed much.
Those unfamiliar with Song Yuan might not notice these changes, but people who frequently interacted with her had sensed something was off, though they didn’t know the reason.
Luo Wei didn’t know what conflict existed between Song Yuan and Polaris Media, but since Song Yuan didn’t want to collaborate, she had no choice but to drop the matter.
She sighed and hung up the phone. Such a wasted opportunity.
Song Yuan put away her phone, slipping it back into her pocket.
She hadn’t forgotten that Yu Jin was still nearby, she owed Yu Jin an explanation.
Song Yuan lifted her gaze towards Yu Jin, who stood not far away, watching her with a cold, silent stare.
Yu Jin’s silence was even more intimidating than when she spoke, making Song Yuan feel deeply uneasy.
