Pregnant with the Alpha Best Actress's Child - Chapter 34
A few days later, the production wrapped up smoothly. Sang Zhijiu breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to her small apartment to begin her homebody life of nurturing her pregnancy.
In any case, Fan Wu was busy handling all the subsequent mess; she didn’t have to worry about a thing.
The only thing troubling her right now was.
“Hello, Mother, Mommy.” Sang Zhijiu forced a well-behaved smile, greeting Sang Xiaqing and Yue Shuyi on the other end of the video call.
The two mothers had been closely following her activities. Seeing her, Yue Shuyi asked, “Is the work at the film set finished?”
Sang Zhijiu nodded. “Mm-hmm.”
Sang Xiaqing said heart-achingly, “Oh, it must have been exhausting. Our Jiujiu has gotten thinner!”
Sang Zhijiu gave an awkward laugh and immediately said, “I haven’t gotten thinner… I’ve actually gained quite a bit of weight.”
“Nonsense.” Sang Xiaqing was firm in her view. She simply doted on her daughter; regardless of whether Sang Zhijiu gained or lost weight, in her eyes, it was all losing weight!
“Are you able to rest for a while now? Book a flight and come back; Mother will give you a good nourishing boost!”
Sang Zhijiu felt somewhat helpless. “Mommy, I really have gained weight.”
As she spoke, she moved her phone camera toward her waist and pulled her clothes tight from behind. The thin fabric instantly clung to her stomach, revealing a perfectly round shape.
On the other side of the video, Sang Xiaqing and Yue Shuyi fell silent in unison.
Sang Zhijiu broke the silence. “See? I told you I got fat.”
“Baby, you…” Sang Xiaqing started to speak but stopped.
This belly was big in a way that felt wrong. She felt something was strange but couldn’t put her finger on it. Yet, if she followed Sang Zhijiu’s lead and agreed she was fat, she couldn’t bear to attack her precious daughter’s figure.
At that moment, Yue Shuyi, having snapped out of it, suddenly looked stern.
She called out coldly, “Sang. Zhi. Jiu!”
Not only Sang Zhijiu, but even Sang Xiaqing, who wasn’t the target of the gaze, immediately straightened her spine.
“M-mother,” Sang Zhijiu called out weakly.
Sang Xiaqing reached out to pat her wife’s back. “What’s wrong? Xiao Yi, even if the baby ate too much and got fat, you don’t need to be this angry, right?”
Yue Shuyi rolled her eyes at her.
But quickly, she turned her attention back to Sang Zhijiu and asked point-blank, “Are you pregnant?”
As an Omega who had given birth, her intuition in these matters was far stronger than that of a scatterbrained Beta like Sang Xiaqing.
Hearing this, Sang Xiaqing jumped in shock. “Xiao Yi, don’t talk nonsense! Our baby is so good, how could she be pregnant?”
The next second, she was slapped in the face by Sang Zhijiu’s confession.
Sang Zhijiu put on a pitiful look. “Mother, Mommy… Yes, I’m pregnant.”
Sang Xiaqing: “???!!!”
Yue Shuyi let out a cold snort. She cracked her knuckles. “Whose is it?”
Sang Zhijiu: “Fan Wu’s!”
Yue Shuyi frowned. She asked, “How many months along? This timing… You two got together after we left Y City?”
Technically, the baby existed before they even arrived.
But Sang Zhijiu knew she shouldn’t say too much, so she followed her lead and nodded. “Um… right!”
Yue Shuyi narrowed her eyes. “What does Fan Wu have to say about this?”
Sang Zhijiu quickly cleared her throat. “Ahem, we are already together. She’ll take responsibility for me and the child. We’re going to announce the baby in a few days, so I’m telling you now so you won’t be too surprised later.”
At this point, Sang Xiaqing finally processed the information.
“What???!!! No! Baby, I don’t agree!!!”
Sang Zhijiu felt a bit guilty. “Mommy, sorry. I should have told you sooner.”
“That’s not the reason!!” Sang Xiaqing had a breakdown. “Baby, you’re still young! How can you get married and have a child so early? You didn’t have a single scandal in the past few years!”
Her eyes widened. “Was it that dog Fan Wu who forced you? Baby, blink your eyes, and Mommy will come save you right now!”
Sang Zhijiu immediately kept her eyes wide open, fearing that if she accidentally blinked, she’d have to face both her mothers tomorrow.
“No, we’re in a committed, consensual relationship!”
Sang Xiaqing could no longer hear her words. “Oh my god, how did this happen? It’s only been a few months! Truly, just as I said, none of those Alphas are any good! Jiujiu, don’t worry, Mommy is coming over now to bring you back.”
She was pacing around in a panic until Yue Shuyi finally stepped in to calm her down.
Yue Shuyi’s gaze toward her partner was full of disdain. “She already said they’re in a relationship. What are you going over there for? To play the role of the evil mother-in-law breaking up the star-crossed lovers?”
Sang Xiaqing was on the verge of tears. “B-but wife…”
Yue Shuyi ignored her and looked directly at Sang Zhijiu. “What are your plans? The child is already this big; if you’ve decided to give birth, you need to consider marriage registration and applications. Have you two talked about this?”
Sang Zhijiu nodded obediently.
Yue Shuyi asked again, “What about her parents? Can they accept you?”
Sang Zhijiu said, “Fan Wu’s parents are traveling in Europe, but Fan Wu has already told them. They’re coming over next week to meet me. Fan Wu says the auntie and uncle are very nice, so there shouldn’t be any big problems.”
Sang Xiaqing warned, “It’s also possible her parents are bad people! Just like me, they might oppose this marriage!”
Yue Shuyi glared at her. “Why on earth would you think anyone would be angry because their Alpha married our Zhijiu?”
Sang Xiaqing froze for a second, then realized and became even more dejected. “Oh right… Ugh, they’ve found a treasure; they’re probably going to be happy to death.”
Sang Zhijiu comforted her, “Mother, don’t be sad.”
Sang Xiaqing sighed. “Sigh, actually, it’s also our fault as mothers. If Jiujiu were really a Beta, and she brought home an Omega wife like Fan Wu, I don’t know how happy I’d be.”
But the reality was that her daughter was going to marry into someone else’s family! It was too sad!
Ignoring her, Yue Shuyi said to Sang Zhijiu, “In that case, we’ll also head over to Y City next week. Marriage and children are major events; our two families must meet.”
Sang Zhijiu had made this video call with this intention in mind. Seeing Yue Shuyi take the initiative to arrange it, she naturally agreed happily.
After a few more pleasantries, Yue Shuyi needed to go console Sang Xiaqing, so she took the initiative to hang up.
Sang Zhijiu said a well-behaved goodbye to both of them. After cutting the connection, she let out a huge sigh of relief.
She picked up her phone and told Fan Wu about her mothers’ planned trip. Fan Wu replied quickly.
[Senior W: Okay, I got it. Don’t worry, just leave the rest to me.]
[Senior W: I still have some work to arrange here and won’t be able to come back to be with you until the day after tomorrow. Get some good rest. If anything happens, call me directly.]
Sang Zhijiu: [Go do your work. I’m not a child; I can handle things myself.]
[Senior W: …Alright.]
[Senior W: But you seem to have forgotten one very important thing.]
Sang Zhijiu was a bit confused: [Huh? Is there something else I need to do?]
Fan Wu curled her lips into a smile at her phone.
[Senior W: Yes.]
[Senior W: You forgot to say you missed me.]
Seeing this sentence, Sang Zhijiu felt a bit flushed.
[Who misses you? I certainly don’t!]
Fan Wu wasn’t angry either. She tapped her fingers and sent another message.
[Senior W: Then it’s me who misses you too much.]
[Senior W: I thought you’d feel the same way.]
Sang Zhijiu couldn’t help but feel a bit happy, yet the message she sent back still maintained a sense of reserve.
[So mushy! We’ve only been apart for a day, and you’re talking about missing me? How shameless!]
[Senior W: So Jiujiu really doesn’t miss me?]
Sang Zhijiu: “…”
She thought about it: [A little bit.]
Fan Wu finally broke into a satisfied smile.
[Senior W: That’s enough. Wait for me to come back.]
Sang Zhijiu breathed a light sigh. After putting down her phone, she couldn’t stop her mouth from curving upward.
A few days later, a joint statement issued by the official account of Nanlu, Sang Zhijiu, and Fan Wu shook the entire internet.
Fans of both sides had just finished celebrating the wrap-up of the production and were secretly counting the days until the film’s release to ship the CP. This statement immediately pushed everyone’s emotions to a climax.
Fan Wu: My wife @Sang Zhijiu and our unborn baby.
Below the text was a photo of the two of them.
Sang Zhijiu looked a bit uncooperative, perhaps out of shyness, turning her face slightly away from the camera. Meanwhile, Fan Wu had a doting smile on her face, letting her have her way.
In the photo, Sang Zhijiu’s clothes weren’t particularly loose, and one could already vaguely see the protruding pregnant belly.
At this, the fans of both sides erupted!
The fans’ shipping was still at the stage of believing they had fallen in love during filming, but they hadn’t expected the couple’s progress to be like a supersonic rocket—they already had a kid on the way!
As a result, along with the announcement, a strange hashtag also trended.
#TheSpeedOfMyShippingCantKeepUpWithTheirRelationship#
Sang Zhijiu scrolled through her phone, looking at the fans’ various comments, and couldn’t help but complain to Fan Wu, “You obviously got the baby first and then the marriage, yet the internet is saying your pursuit skills are so good that I couldn’t hold out and fell for you right after joining the set.”
She wrinkled her nose. “As if I’m that easily tempted!”
Fan Wu comforted her with a smile, “It’s not that my pursuit skills were good, it’s that Jiujiu’s charm was too great; I couldn’t help myself.”
Sang Zhijiu nodded with satisfaction. “Then go post another one and explain it clearly to them!”
She requested seriously, “You must emphasize how good I am, how much I made you lose yourself and fall in love at first sight, and then you went through eighty-one trials and tribulations until I finally couldn’t bear to watch and reluctantly agreed to be with you!”
Fan Wu narrowed her eyes. “Reluctantly agreed?”
Sang Zhijiu stiffened her neck and said stubbornly, “Yes, that’s clearly how it was! If it weren’t for the baby, I probably wouldn’t have agreed to be with you yet.”
“Is that so?” Fan Wu walked to her side and leaned in close.
Sang Zhijiu tried to lean back, but she was sitting on the sofa, and all her escape routes were blocked by Fan Wu. She had nowhere to go.
“W-what do you want to do?” she asked.
Fan Wu didn’t speak. She leaned down to find her lips and tongue, tasting them carefully.
Sang Zhijiu initially put up a negligible resistance, but soon she too became intoxicated, her arms unconsciously hooking around Fan Wu’s neck.
Three minutes later, the two separated reluctantly.
Fan Wu lightly licked her lips. “…Is it still reluctant?”
Sang Zhijiu smacked her lips. Her expression was a bit dazed, but her arms were still tightly holding onto Fan Wu, clearly still savoring the intimate contact.
After a moment, she lowered her head with a red face. “Um, it’s still a little bit reluctant.”
Fan Wu raised an eyebrow and leaned down again. This time, without her having to look for her, Sang Zhijiu proactively leaned in, and their lips and tongues stuck together like they had a magnetic pull.
“Is it still reluctant?”
“Still a little bit.”
“…”
“Is it still reluctant?”
“Mm…”
In the end, without needing Sang Zhijiu to answer, Fan Wu automatically went in for the kiss.
In the peaceful room, the lovers who were devoted to each other kissed, as if they were kissing their entire world.
