I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Seeing Jiang Siheng rush over, Qi Tingfeng was somewhat surprised. He thought Jiang might also be at the hospital for a check-up, as it was common knowledge in their circles that Jiang Siheng was in poor health.

Qi Su was also stunned when he saw him: “Why are you here?”

“Qi Ran is sick; I came to see him.”

Jiang Siheng spoke naturally, completely oblivious to Qi Tingfeng, who stood nearby, stunned by his words.

Knowing he had arrived, Lin Nan came out and called him inside.

Watching Jiang Siheng disappear into the examination room, Qi Tingfeng couldn’t help but ask Qi Su: “What’s going on? He came to see Xiao Ran? Do he and Xiao Ran even know each other?”

Qi Su snapped back to reality, realizing that Qi Tingfeng didn’t know about Qi Ran and Jiang Siheng yet.

“They are dating.”

Qi Tingfeng’s brow furrowed: “What? Those two are dating? Since when?”

“Just recently. I only found out myself.”

“Hasn’t Qi Ran been running after Jiang Sen all this time? When did he get mixed up with Jiang Siheng!”

Qi Tingfeng looked completely disoriented, unable to understand what his youngest son was up to.

Qi Su sighed: “Perhaps Xiao Ran liked Jiang Siheng all along. Chasing after Jiang Sen might have just been an excuse to get close to him.”

“This is all a mess. I have to ask him when he wakes up. And why did they let him in? Why can’t we go in?”

Qi Su was also a bit suspicious about why Lin Nan had called Jiang Siheng in: “Maybe he had business with him anyway. Let’s just wait.”

…

Once inside, Jiang Siheng saw Qi Ran lying on the hospital bed, unconscious: “What’s the situation?”

Lin Nan handed him the test report: “His pheromone levels are much lower than average. Generally, this only happens during the stage right after differentiation—what we call the fluctuation period. It usually stabilizes with development. These two average lines are the ABO boundaries: below this line is Omega, above is Alpha, and level with it is Beta.”

“I understand that. What’s the main point you’re trying to make?”

Lin Nan snatched back the report: “Before I say it, I need to ask something, and you’d better answer me honestly. To what stage have you two progressed? Have you slept together?”

Jiang Siheng: “…No.”

Lin Nan let out a breath of relief: “I must remind you, you are a rare Enigma. Your pheromones have a massive impact on Alphas. If you two had slept together, Qi Ran would likely enter secondary differentiation because of your pheromone influence. There’s a high probability he would differentiate into your exclusive Omega. If you don’t intend to take full responsibility for him, don’t touch him. It’s better for both of you.”

Jiang Siheng didn’t respond this time, but his silence indicated he had taken Lin Nan’s words to heart.

Lin Nan didn’t press for an answer. They were both adults; he trusted that Jiang Siheng would think things through before acting.

He pulled out another report and handed it over: “I ran a compatibility test on your pheromones. See for yourself.”

Jiang Siheng took it and scanned the diagnostic data at the bottom. Their pheromone compatibility was as high as 99.99%.

He looked up at Lin Nan, and for once, there was visible surprise in his eyes.

Lin Nan took the report back and smiled: “Didn’t expect your compatibility to be that high, did you? Neither did I. But seeing his pheromone levels drop, I figured the problem mostly stems from you. Your pheromones affected him, disrupting his bodily functions and putting him into a state of ‘pseudo-differentiation.’ There are two ways to solve this.

First, you two stop having any contact from today onward. Second, you spend more time together starting today, letting him build a tolerance to your pheromones. This would fix the issue, but the second method carries a risk: one or both of you could develop a pheromone dependency. After all, with compatibility this high, you might not feel it at first since your pheromones are much stronger than his, but over time, you’ll be subtly influenced too.”

Just as Lin Nan finished speaking, a young nurse called out: “The patient is awake.”

Hearing this, Lin Nan and Jiang Siheng hurried over.

Qi Ran opened his eyes groggily, feeling as if countless tiny needles were pricking his body: “It hurts!”

Lin Nan asked: “Where does it hurt? What kind of pain is it?”

Qi Ran noticed Lin Nan and Jiang Siheng and looked around in confusion, realizing he wasn’t at home. He wrapped his arms around himself: “Why am I here?”

“Your father and brother brought you here,” Lin Nan said, then repeated his question, “Where was the pain you just mentioned?”

“Everywhere. Like needles are stabbing me.”

The youth’s face was pale from the lingering fever, and his thin lips were bloodless. He looked fragile and pitiable.

Lin Nan turned to the nurse: “Draw his blood again.”

Then he turned to Jiang Siheng: “Take off your jacket and give it to him.”

Jiang Siheng: “…” Qi Ran: “…”

Seeing him dazed, Lin Nan urged: “Quickly.”

Jiang Siheng complied, draping his suit jacket over Qi Ran’s shoulders.

The moment the warm jacket covered him, Qi Ran trembled slightly. The needle-like pain vanished almost instantly.

He looked at Jiang Siheng in shock: “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Lin Nan had a look that said I knew it. He tilted his head toward Jiang Siheng: “Looks like you have to take the second path. Your pheromones affect him even more than I thought.”

Indeed, 99.99% compatibility was no joke.

Qi Ran heard this and asked blankly: “What are you guys talking about? What’s wrong with me?”

Lin Nan explained: “Specifically, you aren’t exactly ‘sick.’ It’s just your pheromones…”

Lin Nan finished explaining the situation to Qi Ran.

Qi Ran found it unbelievable: “You mean to say that two Alphas have a pheromone compatibility of 99.99%?”

Lin Nan nodded: “That is correct.”

To this day, no one besides Lin Nan knew Jiang Siheng was an Enigma, so he chose to keep it a secret from Qi Ran.

Qi Ran looked at him speechlessly: “Is your hospital equipment malfunctioning? How can two Alphas be this compatible? I’m not an Omega. Or… Jiang Siheng, are you an Omega? Are you pretending to be an Alpha?”

Jiang Siheng, who looked impossible to be an Omega: “…”

If one of them had to be an Omega in disguise, it would only be Qi Ran; with his looks, people would actually believe it.

Although Jiang Siheng didn’t speak, the look he gave Qi Ran seemed to hold hidden meaning.

Qi Ran immediately bristled: “Why are you looking at me like that? I am a proper Alpha. If you don’t believe me, Lin Nan can prove it.”

Lin Nan watched the two bicker like elementary school students: “Let’s talk business first. Neither of you is an Omega in disguise, and our equipment isn’t broken. Your situation is rare but not unheard of. Our priority now is to handle Qi Ran’s pheromone stress. Currently, it seems only Jiang Siheng’s pheromones can soothe you. Anyone else might act like poison. We need further observation.”

Qi Ran pulled the jacket tighter: “So you mean only he can cure my ‘illness’?”

Lin Nan heard the concern in Qi Ran’s voice but had to nod: “As it stands, the best way is for Siheng to help you through this period. Once your pheromone levels return to normal, the stress response will disappear.”

Jiang Siheng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: “You can move in with me for a while.”

Since it was because of him, Qi Ran ended up like this; it was only right for him to help him recover.

Hearing about “cohabitation,” Qi Ran was about to refuse when Lin Nan added: “If you can live together and spend time in close proximity, I believe you’ll recover much faster.”

Qi Ran asked suspiciously: “How fast? Can I recover in a week?”

“A week probably won’t be enough. A month sounds about right.” Noticing Qi Ran’s tension and resistance, Lin Nan cautiously gave a timeframe.

He vaguely sensed that their relationship wasn’t as close as he had imagined.

Hearing “one month,” Qi Ran could barely tolerate it.

The Little White Bird in his mind hopped up at that moment: [I suggest the Host agrees! Isn’t living in the Jiang house more convenient for tasks? Think about the combined 4 months of life and the lottery chance. Host, you must not refuse!~]

Qi Ran: “…Alright then.”

Seeing him agree, Lin Nan felt relieved: “Your fever is also caused by the stress. With him around, the fever should break soon. Get some rest first; I’ll go speak with Uncle Qi.”

Qi Ran hurriedly said: “Brother Lin, could you not tell them the full details? I don’t want them to worry.”

Lin Nan glanced at Jiang Siheng and nodded: “Fine.”

After he left, only Qi Ran and Jiang Siheng remained in the large examination room.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Qi Ran scratched his head: “So… I can stay with you, but I want two separate rooms.”

Jiang Siheng looked at his awkwardness and felt like laughing: “Otherwise? Did you want to sleep in the same room as me?”

Qi Ran turned and glared: “I said that precisely because I don’t want to. Don’t twist my words.”

Jiang Siheng nodded: “Fine, I understand.”

As soon as he spoke, his phone rang. Jiang Siheng took it out and saw an unknown number. Upon answering, a gruff voice came through: “Hello? Is this Jiang Siheng? You have a package. It’s Cash on Delivery. Are you home?”

Hearing the words “Cash on Delivery,” Qi Ran looked away, pretending it had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Siheng glanced at the slightly guilty-looking youth and curled his lip: “Someone is home.”

He put down the phone. Just as he was about to speak, Qi Tingfeng and Qi Su entered behind Lin Nan.

Seeing Qi Ran sitting on the bed with a pale little face, Qi Tingfeng was instantly pained: “How are you? Do you still feel unwell?”

Qi Tingfeng had swapped his usual mockery and lecturing for sudden tenderness, making Qi Ran a bit uncomfortable: “I-I’m fine now, Dad. What’s wrong with your voice?”

Qi Tingfeng’s tenderness lasted less than a minute. He felt a lump in his chest and almost blurted out a curse.

Is it easy for your old man to be tender for once? I really want to hit this kid again!
