News of Bai Zhenghua’s passing had been exposed by paparazzi. For an entire day, related search terms occupied the top of the Weibo trending list, and the heat showed no sign of fading.

The Bai Group had ranked among the top three real estate companies in the nation, second only to their bitter rival, the Du Group. However, both were far inferior to the industry leader, the Ye Group.

The two major real estate conglomerates had been locked in a fierce struggle for nearly a decade, which finally came to an end with the Bai Group filing for bankruptcy. On the surface, the Du family appeared to be the winner, but in order to take down the Bai family, the Du family had suffered heavy losses—a case of “killing a thousand enemies while suffering eight hundred casualties.” As the two sides fought, the Ye Group became the greatest beneficiary, reaping the rewards of their conflict.

Ye Yunwan did not have a personal Weibo account, and she usually paid no attention to trending topics. She had learned of Bai Zhenghua’s death through her WeChat Moments, as people were sharing related official news articles.

The woman leaned against the comfortable, spacious leather seat, dressed in a black silk shirt paired with high-waisted black trousers. Her lashes, like feathers, were lowered, and she spent less than two minutes swiftly scanning the article.

Her fair, articulated fingers gripped a black smartphone. Her right index finger curled slightly, touching the screen as she scrolled with indifference.

There was not a single change in her expression; she remained calm and unfazed. It was only when the news mentioned Bai Jinge at the end, and the name “Bai Jinge” appeared, that her reaction shifted.

[Bai Zhenghua’s only daughter, 23-year-old Bai Jinge, is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Arts. Originally considered an S-tier Omega at the ceiling of high society, it is a pity that before she could take over the family business, she was forced to face the company’s bankruptcy and the sudden passing of her father…]

Upon reading this, the previously cold look in Ye Yunwan’s eyes suddenly flickered, and she frowned slightly.

“Secretary Zhao, why didn’t she want the check?” The woman suddenly looked up, her gaze falling on the secretary sitting diagonally across from her.

Secretary Zhao’s full name was Zhao Qinchun. She was Ye Yunwan’s personal secretary and an Omega. She had been by Ye Yunwan’s side since Ye took control of the Ye Group. Not only was she professionally competent, but she also had high emotional intelligence and even possessed some martial arts skills, holding a seventh-degree black belt in Taekwondo.

Being singled out, Zhao Qinchun quickly straightened her back and organized her thoughts: “Miss Bai’s exact words were that she would not take the money. She said that in the transaction between you and her, Ye Zong, money was never mentioned. She only wanted the Du family’s withdrawal of their lawsuit.”

Yesterday afternoon, when Zhao Qinchun returned the check, the CEO had asked nothing. Thus, naturally, Zhao Qinchun had not been foolish enough to relay those words to the CEO; she hadn’t mentioned it at all.

Ye Yunwan stopped speaking. She turned her head and looked silently out the car window. What met her eyes was a gray, rainy day. Wisps of rain floated in the air, soaking through the glass and leaving a thin layer of mist upon it.

A beam of orange light fell from the roof of the car, outlining the woman’s perfectly exquisite jawline. Her motionless posture was like a black-and-white sketch by an artist—beautiful, yet lacking any vitality or human emotion.

Ye Yunwan was asexual; she was neither fond of the opposite sex nor interested in the same sex. Whether it was a glamorous or cute female Omega, or a strong or submissive younger male Alpha, Ye Yunwan felt no interest in any of them.

Relying on injections of suppressants, Ye Yunwan, a top-tier Alpha, had lived a solitary life for thirty years. She had never marked any Omega, not even with a temporary mark.

However, the pheromones of Bai Jinge were too tempting for Ye Yunwan—one could even say they were a fatal temptation. Ye Yunwan could not resist, and at the cost of offending the Du family, the two reached a deal.

A deal was just a deal, established on the foundation of mutual consent, each taking what they needed.

Life did not seem to have changed much because of Bai Jinge’s sudden intrusion. Ye Yunwan continued to go her own way, alone.

As October arrived, the weather grew colder day by day. Over the past two days, Bai Jinge had felt some discomfort in her stomach; her chest felt tight, and she felt nauseous.

Bai Jinge kept a regular schedule, ate her three meals on time, and was keen on fitness. Even on weekends or holidays, she would wake up on time and had no habit of sleeping in. Her annual check-ups showed her health indicators were always good, and she had no history of stomach problems. There was only one thing: her period had always been irregular.

Because of this, Bai Jinge had seen doctors and taken traditional medicine to regulate it, but it remained inconsistent.

Today was the last day of the National Day holiday. Bai Jinge had made an appointment at the hospital online, planning to take advantage of the remaining holiday to get a thorough examination and undergo a gastroscopy.

After her father’s death, Bai Jinge pulled herself out of her grief and, relying on her own advantages, found a job as a model.

The luxury cars she once owned had been used to pay off debts, and her real estate had all been auctioned off by the court. Now, Bai Jinge lived with her cousin, Zhu Linshuang.

At eight o’clock in the morning, Bai Jinge arrived at the hospital.

The hospital was crowded. Most people were accompanied by family members; only Bai Jinge sat alone, quiet and silent in the waiting room chair, patiently waiting for her number to be called.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally Bai Jinge’s turn to see the doctor.

The female Omega doctor, after listening to the patient’s brief description, judged based on her own experience raising two children that the patient was likely not suffering from any gastrointestinal issues.

The doctor pushed up her round-framed glasses: “When was your last period? Did it come this month?”

Bai Jinge was stunned for a moment. She took out her phone, opened the calendar, found her period records, and said: “My last period was August 4th. September… it didn’t come, and it hasn’t come this month either.”

The doctor frowned: “In other words, you haven’t had your period for two months. And your heat cycle in September didn’t come either, right?”

Bai Jinge explained: “My periods have always been irregular. There have been times before when it only came once every two months. The heat cycle in September indeed didn’t come, but I thought it was caused by endocrine disorders.”

Bai Jinge believed that her heat cycle not coming for a month was due to being fully marked by a top-tier Alpha, which had caused endocrine chaos. Coupled with her father’s passing, she thought it was possible that her excessive grief had also led to the endocrine imbalance.

The doctor spoke relatively tactfully: “Do you have an Alpha partner?”

Bai Jinge’s expression changed: “I had one.”

That was right; she had one. But in the strict sense, it couldn’t even be counted as a partner.

The doctor pressed a hand on the medical record folder and pushed it back: “Then I suggest you go see the Obstetrics and Gynecology department first.”

Bai Jinge: “……!”

In the end, Bai Jinge listened to the gastroenterologist’s advice and immediately went to register for Obstetrics and Gynecology. As soon as her urine test results came out, Bai Jinge took the lab report to the doctor.

The OB-GYN doctor was a very gentle, middle-aged female Omega. She took one look at the test report, and a smile immediately bloomed on her lips as she looked at Bai Jinge and said: “Congratulations, you are pregnant!”

Bai Jinge’s mind went blank, and it took several seconds for her to recover: “What? I’m pregnant?”

The doctor handed over the report and explained: “Yes, it is written very clearly on the report. It is positive, and positive means you are pregnant.”

Bai Jinge took the report and looked at it; sure enough, the word “Positive” was written on it. Bai Jinge gripped the paper tightly, her face turning ghastly pale.

She looked up abruptly, her eyes resolute as she stared at the doctor: “I don’t want this child. Please arrange the surgery for me as soon as possible.”

The doctor instantly retracted her smile and said: “If you have truly decided not to keep this child, I will write you a request for an ultrasound now to check the size and position of the gestational sac…”

Bai Jinge: “Okay, thank you, Doctor.”

The doctor organized the examination slips printed out and handed them to Bai Jinge: “Here, go pay the fees first and have the check-up done, then bring the results back to me. If all indicators are normal, the surgery can be scheduled as early as tomorrow morning.”

Bai Jinge took the slips with both hands: “Okay.”

The doctor thought for a moment and spoke again: “However, I must make it clear to you that every surgery carries a certain amount of risk. Don’t be misled by those painless abortion advertisements. Even if the surgical technique is very mature, it will still cause some harm to your body.”

Bai Jinge frowned lightly and said nothing: “…”

The doctor: “So, would you like to reconsider, or discuss it with your Alpha before making a decision?”

Listening to the doctor say this, Ye Yunwan’s cold and beautiful face suddenly appeared in Bai Jinge’s mind. She shook her head firmly: “Thank you, Doctor, I have already decided.”

After saying this, Bai Jinge suddenly felt a soreness in her nose, and heat welled up in her eyes. She quickly rose from the chair, grabbed the examination slips, and hurried out of the clinic.
