I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Jiang Siheng caught a faint scent of lily mixed with a medicinal fragrance emanating from Qi Ran; he knew it was the unique aroma of orange blossom.
The youth before him had already let go of his arm. A pair of doe-like eyes carried an unrestrainable sense of panic and embarrassment, yet they held absolutely no adoration for him.
Jiang Siheng knew of Qi Ran. Even though he rarely went out, the servants at home would always more or less chat about the gossip they knew, and the name “Qi Ran” appeared with high frequency.
He was also very aware that the person Qi Ran intended to confess to just now wasn’t him, but his older brother, Jiang Sen.
Seeing that Jiang Siheng remained silent, Qi Ran felt that the gaze falling upon him was as if the man were looking through him at someone else, making his heart feel like it was up in the air.
He couldn’t help but poke the Little White Chick in his mind: “What’s going on? Why isn’t he talking? What should I say?”
Just listening to the system’s settings for Jiang Siheng made Qi Ran highly suspect that this “big shot” might be following a “lunatic/crazy” character path.
If he accidentally provoked a lunatic, the consequences…
He originally thought he had been given a “Difficult” script. Fine, now it looked like “Hell” difficulty level.
The Little White Chick wasn’t fluttering in his head anymore; it crouched there as quiet as a chicken: [Non-specific plot target character. Cannot detect his emotions. Please improvise, Host, but please believe that Baby is always with you~]
“Emotional support is useless! Give me something practical, hey!”
“Um, haha, regarding what I said just now… just treat it as a joke.” Now that the deed was done and he had successfully obtained the reward of living one more day, staying here would only invite more trouble. Qi Ran just wanted to grease his soles and slip away.
Jiang Siheng watched the dimples that appeared on the youth’s cheeks when he smiled. It added a touch of sweetness to a face that could already be described as “beautiful.”
For such a temperament to be placed on an Alpha felt too contradictory.
And yet, for some reason, when placed on Qi Ran, it felt harmonious, and even carried a bit of cuteness.
“I don’t treat it as a joke,” Jiang Siheng spoke. His cold voice gave off a sense of pressure that one couldn’t refuse.
The hand Qi Ran had hanging at his side curled slightly. The smile on his face was becoming somewhat unsustainable, and his heart began to beat violently again due to nervousness. At this moment, he really didn’t know what to do.
He thought about just coming clean and saying it was all an act for Jiang Sen to see, but then he wouldn’t be able to explain why he was putting on this play. Could he tell him he was doing a mission, and if the mission succeeded, he could live one more day, otherwise he would die?
Wouldn’t Jiang Siheng treat him like a psychopath and send him for a check-up?
“You confessed just now and I agreed, so now you are my boyfriend. Or, are you going to tell me you confessed to the wrong person, and the one you like isn’t me, but…” Jiang Siheng took in his distress and embarrassment. The corners of his lips hooked up slightly, and a hint of chill rose in his eyes, making him look both cold and ill-intentioned.
This caused Qi Ran, who was staring at him, to have his heart race wildly. The Little White Chick also suddenly started fluttering in his head, chirping away: [Extremely abnormal emotional value detected! Danger! Danger! Host, please evade immediately!]
“No, the one I like is you.” In order to stay alive, Qi Ran felt he was truly giving it his all.
Looking at the youth before him who was claiming to like him with wide eyes, Jiang Siheng found it interesting.
“You like me? Then tell me the reason.”
Jiang Siheng turned and walked toward the sofa behind him, looking very much like he intended to sit down and listen to him slowly.
Qi Ran’s head was twice its normal size now. He felt like there were countless pits in front of him; as soon as he crawled out of one, he fell into the next. Who on earth was this Jiang Siheng? Was there no end to this? “Um, I have to go. I’ll tell you the reason next time.”
“Tell you my foot! Best if we never meet again.”
Leaving behind these words, Qi Ran turned and ran without looking back. Only a fool would stay and tell him some “reason for liking him”!
Shameless! Who likes you!
Watching the youth flee without a backward glance, a murky light appeared in Jiang Siheng’s eyes. Though they looked very similar, their personalities were not alike at all.
…
Qi Ran ran down from the second floor, focused only on leaving this place. He didn’t even notice he was about to crash into his father’s arms.
When Qi Tingfeng saw him, his face darkened instantly. He grabbed his arm: “How did you get here? Didn’t I tell you to stay home properly and not go anywhere?”
“If I go nowhere, I’ll die at home,” Qi Ran thought. He felt that when a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water gets stuck in their teeth.
“Dad, I’m leaving now. I’m really going home right now. Before anyone notices, please let go.” Qi Ran smiled at Qi Tingfeng in a pleasing manner, only hoping his old man would let go quickly. To be lectured by his father in public—did he have no dignity?
Qi Tingfeng obviously felt embarrassed too. He flung his arm away and scolded in a low voice: “Scram back home immediately. See how I’ll deal with you when I get back. You aren’t half as worry-free as your elder brother.”
“Yes, yes, yes, you’re right.” As the second son of the Qi family, Qi Ran indeed couldn’t compare to the eldest son, Qi Su. Although Qi Su was an Omega, he was extremely outstanding, had always been raised as the heir to the Qi family, and had always been Qi Tingfeng’s pride.
At this moment, Qi Ran, who only wanted to leave, wouldn’t argue with Qi Tingfeng over small matters like who was more worry-free.
Having finally made it out of the Jiang family grounds, Qi Ran turned back to look at the massive residence, thinking to himself that he better not come back again.
He had arrived by taxi, but to leave now, he had to walk. After all, in such a high-end private area, taxis couldn’t just come up as they pleased.
To stay alive this morning, Qi Ran hadn’t even had a drop of water. He was now famished, and because of dealing with those matters at the Jiang residence, he was mentally exhausted. Now he felt that if there were a bed and a drink of water, he would be happy to death.
“I’m telling you, if the next mission reward is still only a one-day life extension, just let me die. I’m not doing it anymore.” After all this tossing and turning, he felt like half his life was gone. To pay so much just to survive one day it was better to let him die and be done with it.
Unable to walk any further, Qi Ran plopped down on the curb, gasping for breath. The suit he was wearing wasn’t breathable; he was hot and tired.
The Little White Chick didn’t dare to speak and was as quiet as a chicken in his head.
A blue sports car whooshed past him, leaving a face full of exhaust fumes. Qi Ran waved his hand in annoyance to disperse the fumes, but unexpectedly, the sports car that had driven off backed up and stopped in front of him. The window slid down slowly, revealing a youth wearing sunglasses.
“Yo, isn’t this Second Young Master Qi? What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you were kicked out by Eldest Young Master Jiang?”
Although he didn’t know who this person was, listening to the tone, he knew their relationship wasn’t great.
Qi Ran was so tired he didn’t want to talk or pay attention to the other party. He propped himself up to stand, intending to leave. He couldn’t afford to fight, but couldn’t he hide?
But the other party was persistent, slowing down to follow him. This was just too petty.
“I say, people should have self-awareness. It’s an Alpha’s nature to like Omegas. Eldest Young Master Jiang isn’t actually wrong; he just doesn’t like you, Ha!”
Just as the “Ha” sound fell, Qi Ran suddenly stopped.
The other person was startled by his sudden stop and stepped on the brakes. Before he could speak, he saw Qi Ran suddenly go around his car, open the passenger door, and sit inside: “To the city center, please. Thanks.”
The sunglass-wearing youth, shocked by this action, recovered and raised his voice: “Who the f*ck said I was giving you a ride?”
Qi Ran had no intention of getting out once he was in. Looking at the youth whose wide eyes couldn’t even be hidden by sunglasses, he said unhurriedly: “Didn’t you have a lot to say to me? Now that I’m in your car, whatever you want to say is convenient. Let’s go, don’t waste time.”
Qi Ran raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, acting like “hurry up and don’t waste time.”
Fuming, the youth shrugged his shoulder to shake off the hand: “Don’t touch me with your smelly hand, I’m an Omega!”
He tilted his chin slightly when he said “Omega,” looking very arrogant and delicate.
Qi Ran, who had just arrived in this world and hadn’t fully adapted to the ABO genders, reflected on himself.
Though they were both males, there was indeed an extra layer of gender difference.
“Sorry, I forgot.”
The youth snorted coldly: “I think you’re jealous. But who can you blame? Who told you to differentiate into an Alpha!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but peek at Qi Ran. Who could have imagined that because of Qi Ran’s looks, everyone thought he would differentiate into an Omega, but this kid stubbornly differentiated into an Alpha.
He became the laughingstock of the circle instantly; after all, no one had seen an Alpha who looked prettier than an Omega.
Feeling the other person’s gaze falling on him from time to time, Qi Ran pointed ahead and gave a kind reminder: “There are countless roads, but safety is priority number one. Unregulated driving leads to two lines of tears for your family. Brother, watch the road!”
