I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Qi Ran took a plate and prepared to get some food. The Little White Bird lay in his mind, dangling its tiny legs, looking incredibly leisurely.

Among the people at Gu Bai’s birthday banquet, aside from Jiang Siheng who looked somewhat familiar, he didn’t know anyone else.

He simply came to join the fun and didn’t particularly want to socialize, so after filling his plate with food, he found a spot with few people and started eating.

Although nothing much happened at the company in the afternoon, he hadn’t eaten much and was already starving.

With a piece of beef down his throat, Qi Ran finally felt his empty stomach relax a bit.

“Hey, Qi Su, how come you?” A tall Alpha walked over, but his words came to an abrupt halt when he met Qi Ran’s clear black eyes. “Sorry, I mistook you. You look quite a bit like Qi Su.”

Qi Ran swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded, briefly touching the man’s outstretched hand. “I’m Qi Ran. Qi Su is my brother. You’ll have to go upstairs to find him.”

“No wonder you look so much alike. So you’re Qi Su’s younger brother. Just now I was wondering why Old Gu’s birthday was happening and he was down here instead of going up. My surname is Zuo, I’m a classmate of theirs.”

This person clearly enjoyed talking. Qi Ran smiled and nodded: “Hello, Brother Zuo.”

“Hello. I knew Qi Su had a brother for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve seen you. You and your brother really do look alike.”

“Yes, everyone says so. But I’m not as good-looking as my brother. ^_^”

“No, you both look good.” It was a different style of beauty. If the older brother was the pristine snow on a mountain peak cold and pure then the younger brother was a lonely orchid in a valley fresh and brilliant.

“Hey, Old Zuo, why are you chatting here? I was looking for you. Come over here, let me introduce someone to you.”

A person suddenly ran over and pulled away the man who still wanted to talk to Qi Ran a bit more.

Qi Ran smiled at the man who seemed reluctant to leave. When he withdrew his gaze, he met Jiang Siheng’s eyes, and in that instant, he bit his tongue.

Damn it, he knew it was bad luck.

“Hiss.” Qi Ran frowned, enduring the sharp pain, and noticed Jiang Siheng walking toward him.

Qi Ran covered his cheek and looked at him crossly.

Jiang Siheng seemed to have no reaction, taking a glass of water and handing it to him: “Drink some water.”

Qi Ran took it and took a sip. The tip of his tongue was stinging from the bite. He muttered under his breath: “Hypocrite.”

If he hadn’t been startled by him, why would he have bitten his tongue?

Jiang Siheng looked at him, his eyes unreadable: “Are the clothes washed?”

“They’re on the way. Just wait at home for them. It’s ‘Certain Wind’ [SF Express] Courier, Cash on Delivery!” He emphasized the “COD” part to show his dissatisfaction.

Jiang Siheng didn’t argue with him about the COD. He just asked: “Hand-washed?”

Qi Ran: “…You’ll know when you check yourself at home.”

Lunatic!

Quickly stuffing the beef from the plate into his mouth, Qi Ran handed the plate to a passing waiter and said sullenly: “Are you done? If you’re done, I’m going to walk around.”

After saying that, he ignored Jiang Siheng and turned to leave. He was still angry about Jiang Siheng dumping him on the street last time, and he had decided he wouldn’t forgive him until Jiang Siheng apologized.

“Together.”

Hearing these two words, Qi Ran turned to look at him: “Do you have nowhere else to go? Why are you following me!”

Jiang Siheng looked down at him. As he leaned closer, there was a faint scent of citrus. Qi Ran recognized this as the smell of a neutralizing agent.

He just didn’t know if the neutralizer Jiang Siheng used was a high-concentration one.

“Is there a problem with me following my own boyfriend?”

One sentence instantly left Qi Ran unable to refute.

Fortunately, someone suddenly called Jiang Siheng’s name.

Looking at the man walking over, Qi Ran felt he looked familiar. It was only when he got closer that he noticed it was the doctor who had received them when they sent Lu Ling to the hospital that day.

“Siheng, why are you here? Hi, Second Young Master. We met at the hospital before, I don’t know if you remember. My name is Lin Nan.”

Qi Ran nodded: “I know. Hello. Do you know my brother and the others?”

“We’re all classmates in high school. Siheng too.” As he spoke, he patted Jiang Siheng’s shoulder and looked up curiously. “Do you and Siheng know each other too?”

Regarding this question, Qi Ran gave a snort and turned to walk outside.

Lin Nan, stunned by his attitude, turned to Jiang Siheng: “Did I say something wrong just now?”

He clearly felt that after he finished his last sentence, Qi Ran’s attitude toward him changed. The younger brother who was smiling so beautifully just a moment ago suddenly looked disgusted. What was going on?

Jiang Siheng slapped away the hand resting on his shoulder: “Yes, you said the wrong thing. Think about it yourself.”

Leaving those words behind, regardless of Lin Nan’s feelings, he followed Qi Ran toward the outdoor swimming pool not far away.

The night breeze wasn’t cold; it felt quite comfortable.

Some people who couldn’t stay inside were gathered at the pool area, chatting and laughing.

Qi Ran saw that the light here was bright and lively, so he wanted to go over and take a look.

Jiang Siheng walked behind him, neither too close nor too far.

Someone noticed him coming and let out a whistle: “Young Master Qi, why aren’t you inside accompanying Brother Gu? What are you doing out here?”

Upon hearing this, he knew these people had mistaken him for his brother. Just as he was about to explain, two people nearby playing around suddenly slipped. They lunged toward the pool, dragging Qi Ran who had just walked over into the water with them.

With a loud splash, there was a chorus of exclamations from the shore.

After choking on a mouthful of water, Qi Ran quickly flipped over and stood up. He wiped his face, feeling utterly speechless in his heart.

As he swam toward the edge, he plucked the Little White Bird’s feathers in his mind: “Are there any rewards for boosting luck?”

If he left this unlucky constitution alone, it would be too pathetic.

“Cough!” Leaning on the edge of the pool coughing, Qi Ran desperately wanted to go home now. The outside world was truly too dangerous. QAQ.

Suddenly, a hand reached out in front of him. Qi Ran looked up and met Jiang Siheng’s eyes: “Are you here to laugh at me?”

Jiang Siheng looked at the soaked youth, who looked as aggrieved as a beautiful little puppy abandoned by its owner, and his heart softened slightly: “Aren’t you coming out? Have you become addicted to soaking?”

Seeing that he didn’t even have a word of comfort, Qi Ran felt even angrier. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Siheng’s hand. Without waiting for the other to use force, he pulled him straight down.

Splash!

Heh, now no one can look down on anyone!

“Whoa, man, what’s going on? Is the water so cool you’re both jumping in!”

Jiang Siheng stood up, took off his suit jacket which had become heavy after being soaked, then used his hands to prop himself up on the pool wall to climb back onto the shore. Then he turned back and extended his hand to Qi Ran again.

Qi Ran looked at him, his eyes filled with surprised suspicion.

“Still angry? If you’re not angry anymore, come up.”

Not expecting that this man had long seen he was angry, a strange feeling flickered in Qi Ran’s heart. He reached out and grabbed him, coming out of the pool. Once he stood up, the white shirt he was wearing having become soft after soaking clung completely to his body.

The skin underneath was faintly visible. Under the dim yellow lights, it looked both pure and sensual.

The laughing crowd went quiet for a moment.

Qi Ran shivered slightly from the cold, not noticing the change in atmosphere or the gazes lingering on his body.

Jiang Siheng pursed his lips, picked up the suit jacket from the ground, and tossed it to him: “Put it on.”

Qi Ran dodged it with a bit of disdain: “I don’t want it, it’s all wet.”

Hearing this, Jiang Siheng directly reached out and put his arm around Qi Ran’s shoulder, pressing him into his chest. He used his broad frame to block the gazes lingering on Qi Ran.

He didn’t like the way those people were looking at Qi Ran.

Being held like this, Qi Ran almost bristled.

The water had washed away the neutralizers on both of them. Although being pressed together like this kept them from being cold, they were too close. Besides each other’s body heat, there were their pheromones entangling together.

“What are you doing? I can walk by myself.”

“If you want me to carry you right now, you can keep talking.”

Qi Ran: “…”

What does this guy mean? Taking advantage of me isn’t enough, he wants to carry me?

As they watched the two leave, everyone present looked astonished: “Was that the second young master of the Jiang family just now? How did he end up with Qi Su?”

“Haven’t you realized yet? That wasn’t Qi Su. He just looks a bit like him. It must be his brother!”

“Isn’t his brother an Alpha?”

“The one just now was an Alpha.”

“Real or fake? That look is just too…”

Even if it was just a brief glimpse, they had to admit that after the person came out of the water just now, he was so beautiful he looked like a water spirit.

…

Jiang Siheng seemed very familiar with this place and took him directly to a room.

As soon as they entered, Qi Ran pushed him away and took a step back, then shivered: “Where is this?”

The youth wrapped his arms across his chest. By doing so, the white shirt already clinging to him became even more transparent.

It made the scenery on his chest faintly visible those two pink points…

Jiang Siheng looked away: “Go take a shower, don’t catch a cold.”

Qi Ran, who really wanted a shower, glanced at the bathroom nearby: “But I don’t have a change of clothes.”

“I’ll bring them to you in a moment. Go wash.”

When Jiang Siheng said this, it made Qi Ran feel as if he had returned to that night. He said warily: “Let’s get this straight first I am definitely not scrubbing the bathroom today.”

He wasn’t going to wait for Jiang Siheng to have another “fit” and make him scrub the bathroom.

Hearing this, Jiang Siheng raised his eyes to look at the wary youth and curled his lip: “Go shower. I won’t punish you today.”

Qi Ran snorted: “I wouldn’t agree even if you tried!”

He hadn’t done anything wrong today!

He jogged to the bathroom and didn’t forget to lock the door.

Although the weather was warm, it didn’t stop the small breeze from feeling chilly.

When he was about to take off his clothes, he noticed the mirror in front of him. When he saw the white shirt clinging to his chest, Qi Ran’s head went buzzing, and then he furiously poked the Little White Bird’s head in his mind!

He finally understood why Jiang Siheng had suddenly hugged his shoulder and why he wouldn’t look him in the eye when they got back to the room.

It was too sensual!
