I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 18

Chapter 18

The youth in his arms was trembling. Qi Ran, who had just been like a bristling little lion, had softened now but didn’t forget to lodge his complaint.

Jiang Siheng looked at the man on the floor, whose face was already indistinguishable, his eyes turning dark and gloomy: “Is your anger vented?”

Qi Ran lifted his head from his chest. Meeting Jiang Siheng’s calm and steady black eyes, he suddenly realized their current posture was a bit ambiguous.

He subconsciously took a step back. Having calmed down, Qi Ran looked at the man he had beaten beyond recognition and pursed his lips.

He knew his emotions had been somewhat out of control just now.

The frustration and suppression he had felt during this period had burst forth like a flood after this man appeared. If Jiang Siheng hadn’t suddenly shown up, he might have truly done something irreparable.

He closed his eyes, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

A hand suddenly landed on his head: “Don’t look anymore. Come here.”

Qi Ran turned to look at Jiang Siheng, his eyes reflecting confusion.

Jiang Siheng didn’t explain much; he simply grabbed his arm, led him to the sink, and turned on the water to help Qi Ran wash away the bloodstains on his hands.

Throughout the process, Qi Ran appeared with a somewhat lingering effect of the emotional outburst.

Looking at the youth who had become quiet and obedient, Jiang Siheng softly patted his head, pulled out a tissue, and handed it to him to wipe his hands: “Wait for me outside for a moment, okay?”

Qi Ran took the tissue and looked up at him, seemingly puzzled about what he intended to do.

Jiang Siheng didn’t explain further, just patted his head again: “Be good. Wait for me outside.”

That one “Be good” [Guai] brushed against Qi Ran’s heart like a feather.

After coming out of the restroom, Qi Ran didn’t go anywhere. He squatted down against the wall, feeling exhausted to his core.

Since coming back to life and gaining the system, he had been extending his life through tasks. Although he had always appeared calm and indifferent, it didn’t mean he didn’t care.

He was just used to enduring.

He raised his hands to cover his face, squatting on the floor with his mind blank.

Inside, Jiang Siheng closed the restroom door again and walked step by step toward the man trying to crawl up from the floor.

“You’re his lover? I knew this little b*tch was… Ah!”

Before the man could finish, Jiang Siheng kicked him down again. Looking at the man collapsed like mud on the floor, Jiang Siheng squatted down with disgust: “You touched him?”

The man on the ground looked at him resentfully: “I touched him, so what? Not only did I touch him, I also… ugh…”

A sudden release of pheromones hit the man’s head like a heavy sledgehammer, instantly causing him to let out a groan of agony.

Jiang Siheng’s expression was very cold: “Which hand?”

“Who… the f*ck… are you?” The man, crushed by the powerful pheromones, was in more pain than when Qi Ran was wildly beating him. At this moment, he felt a surge of terror, not doubting for a second that the man in front of him would kill him. He slowly raised the hand that had previously held Qi Ran’s waist, his voice trembling: “This… this one… AH!”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Siheng suddenly reached out…

After a blood-curdling scream, Jiang Siheng stood up and walked to the sink. The man on the floor had fainted, and the arm he had just raised was now standing there at a twisted, distorted angle.

Jiang Siheng washed his hands and looked at himself in the mirror.

The man’s black eyes were filled with sharp, violent energy. He pursed his lips, took out the silver-framed glasses tucked in his pocket, and put them on, masking the sharpness in his eyes.

Tucking away his external emotions, he reverted to his previous appearance the moment he opened the restroom door.

Hearing the door open, Qi Ran looked up, then used the wall to push himself up and walked toward Jiang Siheng: “What did you do? I heard…”

Jiang Siheng pressed a hand against him: “Let’s go.”

Qi Ran froze for a moment, then nodded.

Coming out from the restroom area, they happened to run into Qi Su, who was looking for him: “Xiao Ran, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for ages.”

Qi Su nodded at Jiang Siheng as a greeting, then walked straight to Qi Ran. Noticing Qi Ran’s pale complexion, he immediately became worried: “What’s wrong? Your face is so pale. Are you feeling unwell?”

Qi Ran glanced at Jiang Siheng and shook his head: “Brother, I’m a bit tired. I want to go back first.”

Gu Bai, who had come over with Qi Su, was currently making eye contact with Jiang Siheng.

Hearing Qi Ran’s voice, Gu Bai curled his lips: “I heard from A-Su that you two are dating?”

Jiang Siheng’s brow twitched. He didn’t answer the question, but turned to look at Qi Ran: “I’ll take you home.”

Qi Su looked at him worriedly: “Are you really okay?”

Qi Ran didn’t want to affect his mood and shook his head with a smile: “I’m fine, Brother. Don’t worry. You have a good time with Brother Gu today. I’ll head back first.”

“Alright.” Qi Su looked at Jiang Siheng, “I’ll trouble you then.”

“As I should.” Jiang Siheng didn’t say much. He turned back, took Qi Ran’s hand, and led him out.

Gu Bai’s gaze landed on their joined hands, and he raised an eyebrow.

Qi Su turned to catch his strange expression and asked suspiciously: “What’s wrong?”

Gu Bai shook his head: “Nothing. You go ahead, I’m going to the restroom.”

Qi Su didn’t suspect anything: “Okay, I’ll wait for you back there.”

…

Jiang Siheng brought Qi Ran to the car; the youth remained quiet the entire way.

When he went around the passenger side and was about to get in, he received a call from Gu Bai.

Seeing the caller ID, Jiang Siheng wasn’t surprised. After picking up, Gu Bai’s voice came through: “Jiang Siheng, aren’t you going to explain?”

“If I were you, I would handle this matter cleanly. You wouldn’t want Qi Su to find out that a guest you invited bullied Qi Ran, would you? The second young master of the Zhao family was a guest you invited.”

After saying that, Jiang Siheng didn’t explain further and hung up, getting into the car.

Qi Ran leaned against the seat back, feeling a severe headache and chills over his body.

Sensing his discomfort, Jiang Siheng turned down the air conditioning. When passing a convenience store, Jiang Siheng stopped the car to buy a cup of hot milk. Upon returning, he handed it to Qi Ran: “Drink some.”

Seeing the item in his hand, Qi Ran didn’t refuse; he reached out, took it, and said thanks.

The rich milk tasted sweet, which surprised Qi Ran. He looked up at the man driving: “You added sugar?”

Jiang Siheng hummed in affirmation: “Sugar will make you feel a bit better.”

Not expecting him to have such a meticulous side, Qi Ran nodded: “Thank you.”

“No need for thanks. This is what a boyfriend should do.”

Even though their relationship felt like a joke, when Jiang Siheng said this again, Qi Ran actually felt a bit touched.

He curled his lips; his mood really did seem much better because of this cup of sugared milk.

“I’ve found that you aren’t as annoying as before.”

Jiang Siheng was amused by his blunt words: “Then that is truly fortunate.”

After dropping Qi Ran off, Jiang Siheng watched him enter the house before driving away.

When Qi Ran got inside, the large house was silent; clearly, Qi Tingfeng hadn’t returned yet.

The first thing Qi Ran did upon returning to his room was shower, even though his whole body ached and he desperately wanted to lie down and rest.

He still couldn’t stand it—the thought of that pervert touching his waist made him feel sick.

After coming out from the shower, Qi Ran felt even more lightheaded and heavy-footed.

The Little White Bird suddenly spoke up: [Warning: Host’s body temperature is abnormal. You may have a fever. It is suggested to seek medical attention promptly~]

Qi Ran raised a hand to touch his forehead; it did seem a bit hot, but he didn’t take it seriously. He was truly too tired and just wanted to sleep. A good sleep would surely fix everything.

He crawled into the quilt, curled his body, and closed his eyes.

…

The next morning, Qi Su realized something was wrong when he didn’t see Qi Ran at the company.

He called Qi Ran, but it kept showing the phone was turned off. Helplessly, he could only call home.

Qi Tingfeng, who had returned late last night and hadn’t left the house yet, picked up the phone. Hearing Qi Su ask about Qi Ran, Qi Tingfeng’s first reaction was: “That brat must have run off to go wild somewhere again. I knew he was good for nothing; he only lasted one day before showing his true colors.”

“Dad, go to his room and check first. Xiao Ran’s face didn’t look good yesterday. I’m afraid he’s sick and didn’t say anything.”

Hearing this, Qi Tingfeng’s heart started to pound: “Fine, I’m going now.”

He didn’t hang up the phone but headed straight upstairs, muttering as he walked: “How old is he? Doesn’t he know to say something if he’s sick? Always causing trouble for people.”

He knocked on Qi Ran’s door and sure enough, saw a lump under the covers on the bed.

Qi Tingfeng walked over and saw Qi Ran with his eyes closed and a pale face. He was startled, and his tone unconsciously softened: “Xiao Ran, wake up.”

He reached out to feel Qi Ran’s forehead. Feeling the temperature, Qi Tingfeng’s heart tightened: “How is he so hot?”

Daring not to delay any longer, he immediately called the family doctor.

He turned back and told Qi Su: “You say this child doesn’t know to say a word even with a fever. If you hadn’t noticed, he might have burned to death without anyone knowing. Fine, I’m going to the hospital with him now. The family doctor says it might be pneumonia; he needs an X-ray.”

Qi Su frowned deeply upon hearing this: “Dad, I’m coming over now.”

“Fine, come take a look. Everything was fine before, how did he suddenly get sick!”

Even if he usually found him annoying, Qi Ran was still his biological son. With his son suddenly falling ill, while Qi Tingfeng was worried, he also couldn’t help but wonder if he usually didn’t show enough care, causing Qi Ran not to tell them even when he was sick.

…

An unconscious Qi Ran was sent to the hospital. After a flurry of activity, the X-ray showed no abnormalities, and other tests only showed one anomaly: abnormally low pheromone levels.

After reviewing the results, the doctor suggested a transfer to the Pheromone Specialist Department.

Lin Nan was startled when he saw that the person being wheeled in was Qi Ran: “What happened?”

Qi Su, who had followed, shook his head: “I’m not sure. These are the test results we just got.”

Lin Nan took the test report and glanced at it. When he saw the pheromone test values, his expression froze.

But he quickly composed himself and looked at Qi Su and Qi Tingfeng: “Don’t worry. I’ll take the younger brother first for a specialized examination.”

With that, he and the nurse pushed Qi Ran into the examination room.

Afterward, Lin Nan called Jiang Siheng: “No matter what you’re doing right now, get to the hospital immediately if you still want your boyfriend!”
