I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
The moment he saw Jiang Siheng, Qi Ran felt like he was about to develop PTSD.
He was so afraid that the second Jiang Siheng opened his mouth, he would tell him to hand-wash the entire hospital.
Jiang Sen walked over, and seeing Lu Ling lying on the hospital bed, his expression turned somewhat grim: “Are you alright, A-Ling?”
Qi Ran returned the hospital bed to its proper position and picked up the porridge from the table: “The doctor said he needs to eat something; this is porridge.”
Jiang Sen reached out to take it, glancing at Qi Ran: “Thank you.”
Qi Ran curled his lips and shook his head: “You’re welcome. I just happened to run into him.”
After saying that, he looked at Lu Ling: “Brother Lu, I’ll be heading out first then. Let’s keep in touch by phone if anything happens.”
Since Jiang Sen was here, it wouldn’t be right for him to stay; at a time like this, the protagonist gong and shou definitely had a lot to say to each other.
Hearing this, Lu Ling struggled to sit up. Qi Ran hurriedly said: “Brother Lu, hurry and lie down. The doctor wants you to rest more. Have a good talk with Brother Jiang Sen. I won’t disturb you two. Once you’re better, I’ll invite you out to play when you have time.”
After speaking, Qi Ran patted Lu Ling on the shoulder and turned to walk out.
Jiang Sen watched him leave, then turned to Lu Ling: “Since when did you have such a good relationship with him?”
Lu Ling glanced at him: “He’s not as bad as you think; besides, we all misunderstood him.”
“Misunderstood what?” Jiang Sen opened the porridge, preparing to feed Lu Ling some, but Lu Ling reached out to take it.
“I’ll do it myself. Qi Ran… the one he likes isn’t you at all.”
Suddenly hearing this sentence, Jiang Sen paused. He had also heard Qi Ran’s confession to Jiang Siheng that day.
“Regardless, he is an Alpha. Why didn’t you call me when you were sick?”
Hearing Jiang Sen’s sour tone, Lu Ling’s face heated up. He explained in a low voice: “He was the one who suddenly called. I originally thought I’d be fine after a rest; I didn’t want to trouble anyone.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sen felt a pang in his heart: “Was it because I said yesterday that I wanted you to come work at the company that you got angry? It’s not that I think you lack ability and want to protect you; on the contrary, I value your ability and want to give you a platform to display it. Lu Ling, you are very excellent—I am very clear on that. Blame me for not explaining clearly yesterday and making you angry.”
Lu Ling shook his head and said softly: “I wasn’t angry.”
…
As Qi Ran walked out of the hospital, Little White Chirp was jumping around in his mind: [You just left like that? What about the affection value? What do we do? Ahhh… ah? The affection value rose!!]
Qi Ran curled his lips: “How much did it rise?”
When he said this, he had the air of someone who had done a great deed and kept his name hidden.
Little White Chirp didn’t answer immediately, clearly busy calculating. After about 30 seconds, a firework suddenly exploded in Qi Ran’s mind: [85, 86… 88, 90 now ahhh! It’s almost at 100! How can this be? Oh my god, ahhh 100, 101 now! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, receiving a 30-day life reward and one chance at a lucky draw!]
Little White Chirp pulled out two small fans from somewhere and started waving them.
Qi Ran also hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. He only thought that by putting the protagonist gong and shou together while the shou was sick, the gong would surely show his tenderness, and their feelings would inevitably heat up. He didn’t expect it to directly help him complete the mission.
However, before he could be happy for long, he heard a voice from behind: “Are the clothes washed yet?”
Qi Ran: “…”
Great, the buzzkill has arrived.
He turned to look at Jiang Siheng, who had followed him out at some unknown point: “…Not yet.”
In fact, if Jiang Siheng hadn’t appeared today, he would have forgotten all about sending the clothes to the dry cleaners.
He’d have to stop by the dry cleaners to pick them up on his way back later.
Jiang Siheng didn’t seem surprised at all. He walked over: “Why were you with Lu Ling?”
In the past, Qi Ran had chased after Jiang Sen’s heels and greatly disliked Lu Ling’s existence.
Even if Jiang Siheng never bothered with such matters, he had heard some rumors.
Qi Ran hadn’t expected him to ask this. Seeing him walk over, Qi Ran instinctively took a step back to open up some distance. He hadn’t forgotten that this man’s pheromones were still clinging to him.
Best not to let any more rub off.
“I just happened to run into him and lent a hand. Why, do I not look like someone who enjoys helping others? Anyway, how did you guys get here so fast?”
It felt like as soon as he messaged Jiang Sen, they were already on their way.
Sure enough, Jiang Siheng said: “When you sent the message, we were already on the way.”
A hint of confusion flashed in Qi Ran’s eyes, but then he figured someone at the hospital who knew Lu Ling might have notified Jiang Sen. It wasn’t out of the question. “Oh. Do you have anything else? If not, I’m going back.”
He was now impatient to go back and do the lucky draw.
But Jiang Siheng suddenly said: “Seeing Jiang Sen and Lu Ling together, doesn’t your heart feel bad?”
Suddenly hearing this question, Qi Ran was stunned. Then, meeting Jiang Siheng’s dark eyes, his heart tightened. He figured Jiang Siheng already knew that he had confessed to the wrong person that day, but at this stage, he could never admit to it even if it killed him.
After all, he had already convinced Lu Ling to believe him. If everything were to overturn because of one sentence from Jiang Siheng, he would truly be finished.
He immediately blinked with a look of feigned innocence: “What are you saying? The one I like is you, not Jiang Sen. Why are you still misunderstanding? Did I not explain clearly enough?”
Looking at the pained expression on the youth’s face, if he hadn’t personally heard him say it while drunk that day, he really would have been hoodwinked.
Jiang Siheng gave a cold laugh and suddenly leaned in, asking in a low voice: “You really like me?”
Qi Ran suppressed the urge to retreat and reached out to grab his arm: “How could that possibly be fake?”
Jiang Siheng’s gaze swept over the dimple near his lips. He suddenly reached out, hooked his arm around Qi Ran’s waist, and pulled him into his embrace: “Then remember what you said.”
Startled by the sudden move, Qi Ran almost jumped out of his skin. He instinctively pressed his hands against Jiang Siheng’s chest to prevent him from doing anything else. The smile on his face froze: “Then I should also say you’d better remember that I like you. If you misunderstand me next time, I might get angry.”
Ugh~
Jiang Sen came out just in time to see this scene. Originally, he still had some doubts about whether Qi Ran was just putting on a show, but seeing the two of them snuggled together, he instantly believed that Qi Ran’s approach to him might really have been for the sake of getting close to the usually reclusive Jiang Siheng.
Qi Ran was just thinking about how to get Jiang Siheng to let go of him when he suddenly heard a prompt: Jiang Sen’s favorability: [+1]
?
What did he do? How did he just harvest favorability from Jiang Sen?
He soon knew the answer.
“So you two haven’t left yet. It just so happens Siheng can take Qi Ran back. I’m staying tonight to accompany him, so I don’t need the car. You drive it away.”
Suddenly hearing Jiang Sen’s voice, Qi Ran jumped. Fortunately, he didn’t need to struggle; Jiang Siheng let go of his hand and nodded: “Okay. If you need anything, you can call me and I’ll bring it over.”
“No need. You two get along well.”
After saying that, Jiang Sen even gave Qi Ran a smile.
It could practically be described as extremely inconceivable.
Jiang Siheng noticed Qi Ran staring blankly at Jiang Sen’s retreating back and gave a cold laugh: “It’s not too late to chase after him and declare your feelings now.”
Qi Ran’s heart twitched. He turned his head and smiled: “What are you saying? The one I like is you. Who else would I declare my feelings to?”
He blinked, looking innocent and at a loss.
Jiang Siheng sneered: “Heh!”
