I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Qi Ran didn’t care whether Jiang Siheng believed the nonsense he spouted or not, but he had to keep this act going. Only by making the protagonist gong and shou believe he had no intention of sabotaging their relationship could he lurk by their side and seize opportunities to push their emotional plot forward.

As for Jiang Siheng, he felt a tiny bit of apology and could only find a chance to make it up to him later.

“Take out your phone,” Jiang Siheng suddenly said.

Qi Ran took it out suspiciously: “What for?”

“You like me, yet you haven’t even saved my number?” As Jiang Siheng spoke, he used his own phone to give him a call.

Looking at the number displayed on the screen, it was both strange and familiar. Strange because he didn’t know it belonged to Jiang Siheng; familiar because this number had appeared on his screen not long ago: “How do you have my number?”

Jiang Siheng stuffed his phone back into his pocket: “What do you think?”

Leaving behind those words, Jiang Siheng turned and led him toward the parking lot.

Qi Ran lagged slightly behind, poking Little White Chirp in his mind: “Do you think he actually likes me? Otherwise, why would he keep my number?”

A person surely wouldn’t keep another’s number for no reason; there usually has to be some kind of purpose.

Little White Chirp tilted its tiny head: 『Why would you think that? Maybe he just wanted to call and ask how the laundry was going?』

Qi Ran: “…”

He actually felt that wasn’t impossible, as he still hadn’t seen through a person like Jiang Siheng.

He quickly caught up: “What did you call me for just now?”

Jiang Siheng glanced at him sideways: “My boyfriend hasn’t contacted me all day, shouldn’t I ask?”

“…” Qi Ran was momentarily speechless.

Jiang Siheng unlocked the car door and looked back at him: “Get in.”

“Where to?” Qi Ran asked instinctively.

Jiang Siheng arched an eyebrow: “You don’t want to go home? Do you want to go on a date with me instead?”

Qi Ran immediately said: “Home.”

Jiang Siheng didn’t reply.

Qi Ran lowered his head and sat in the passenger seat. Just as he fastened his seatbelt, he received a call from Qi Su.

“Hello, Brother? What is it? Oh, I’m just about to head home. You don’t need to pick me up, I can get back to myself.”

He didn’t expect his brother to still be thinking of him after leaving; Qi Ran felt a bit touched.

He didn’t notice the way Jiang Siheng’s expression unconsciously tightened when he answered Qi Su’s call.

“Who was it?”

Hearing Jiang Siheng’s question, Qi Ran answered directly without thinking: “My brother.”

After speaking, he thought of something: “You know my brother, right?”

Jiang Siheng gripped the steering wheel, responding with a seemingly natural: “Yeah.”

Seeing him engage, Qi Ran couldn’t help but say: “Speaking of which, you and my brother are about the same age. You must know each other. My brother is really great in every way, except for being a bit cold. Did a lot of people chase him back when he was in school?”

Jiang Siheng glanced at Qi Ran, who was inexplicably excited. The youth’s deer-like eyes were clear and bright, full of curiosity and anticipation.

The faint dimple on his cheek made him look even sweeter.

It made Jiang Siheng, who originally didn’t want to continue this topic, unable to bear ruining his expectations: “Yeah.”

Though it was just a simple syllable, Qi Ran felt it was enough: “So does my brother have a partner?”

“You should ask your brother that.”

“If he would tell me, why would I be asking you?” Qi Ran grumbled, then added, “Then do you know Gu Bai?”

Suddenly hearing those two words, Jiang Siheng’s jawline tightened: “You’ve seen him?”

“Yeah, I just bumped into my brother and this Alpha named Gu Bai at the hospital. Although my brother didn’t say who he was, I feel like the relationship between those two isn’t simple.” Qi Su didn’t usually get that close to anyone, let alone accompany them to the hospital. The relationship was definitely not simple.

Slightly irritable, Jiang Siheng rolled the window down a bit and pressed his aching forehead uncomfortably.

Seeing that he hadn’t spoken, Qi Ran turned to look at him and noticed his face had suddenly turned deathly pale. His heart skipped a beat: “Are you unwell?”

Jiang Siheng was already experiencing tinnitus and couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying. He pulled the car over directly to the roadside, unlocked the doors, and said coldly: “Take a taxi back.”

Qi Ran: “…”

What was the situation? He insisted on driving him just now, and now he’s telling him to take a taxi? Is this psycho playing with him for fun?

“Jiang Siheng, what do you mean? You—”

“Get out.” Jiang Siheng interrupted him, urging coldly as if he didn’t want him to remain in the car for even a second longer.

Qi Ran turned and got out of the car immediately, slamming the door hard. Damn it, everyone has a temper.

Little White Chirp was as quiet as a mouse in his mind, afraid that Qi Ran, who was in a bad mood, would grab it to vent.

Qi Ran slammed the door and strode forward, cursing Jiang Siheng, that dog, over a hundred times in his heart.

Dog thing, you better not fall into my hands, or one day I’ll show you.

The stretch of road where Jiang Siheng dropped him off was in the middle of nowhere. Qi Ran walked for two kilometers before he finally managed to hail a taxi.

He was so tired his legs felt sore.

He finally made it home. Upon entering, he saw Qi Su sitting on the sofa. He didn’t expect his brother to go straight home from the hospital.

Seeing him, Qi Su said: “Come here, let’s talk.”

Qi Ran’s heart jumped. He walked over: “Talk about what?”

Qi Su tilted his chin slightly, signaling him to sit.

Seeing this, Qi Ran understood his brother wanted a long talk. He couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

“What happened today?”

Hearing this question, Qi Ran realized his brother was indeed concerned about that matter: “Just, today I originally wanted to ask Brother Lu out to play, but when I called, I found out he was sick. So I just lent a hand. I didn’t expect to run into you at the hospital.”

Qi Su looked at him with a serious expression: “I remember your relationship with him wasn’t good. Tell the truth.”

Qi Ran: “…”

Clearly, his previous image was deeply rooted in these people’s minds; changing it wouldn’t happen overnight.

“Brother, do you also misunderstand that I like Jiang Sen? Actually, I don’t. I already cleared things up with Brother Lu and Brother Jiang Sen before. Now Brother Lu and I are good friends, and I’ve apologized to him. So today I really was just simply helping out. I didn’t have any bad intentions, really!”

Qi Su asked suspiciously: “You don’t like Jiang Sen? Then who do you like?”

Qi Ran: “…Can I not say?”

Qi Su arched an eyebrow.

Clearly, he couldn’t.

Qi Ran curled his lips, acting natural but feeling guilty: “Jiang Siheng.”

He didn’t speak loudly, but it was enough for Qi Su to hear.

Suddenly hearing those three words, Qi Su was stunned: “The one you like is him?”

Qi Ran nodded hurriedly: “Yes, that’s right! I confessed to him and he even agreed. Haha, if you don’t believe me, Brother, you can ask him.”

He was certain Qi Su wasn’t the type to actually call Jiang Siheng to confirm.

After all, his brother wasn’t the meddling type.

After enduring his brother’s scrutinizing gaze for thirty seconds, Qi Su finally seemed to believe him: “It’s fine then. Go back to your room and rest.”

Qi Ran breathed a sigh of relief: “I’ll head upstairs then.”

With that, he hurriedly ran back to his room and shut the door.

Finished. More and more people knew about him and Jiang Siheng. As expected, one lie requires a hundred more to cover it up.

What he didn’t know was that shortly after he went upstairs, Qi Su gave Jiang Siheng a call.
