The Lost Omega Heiress is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 46

An Irresponsible Scumbag Alpha.

Shen Tingxue didn’t know how long she had been circling in the night sky over the Special Zone.

The city lights below glittered brilliantly, a world completely apart from the slums. She felt utterly hollow.

She didn’t want to stay in this city, nor did she want to return to the home that no longer carried Shi Anzhi’s scent. Where else could she go?

It wasn’t until the aircraft’s energy alarm sounded that Shen Tingxue snapped out of her daze. She piloted the aircraft and returned home.

The days that followed felt like living as a walking corpse. Her life was split in two.

During the day, she shuttled between the company and the laboratory, maneuvering among various factions. To outsiders, she remained the cool-headed, decisive eldest daughter of the Shen family.

But once home, Shen Tingxue would curl up in the darkness, clutching a pillow and weeping silently.

The side effects of the rabbit pregnancy hormone grew increasingly severe. Besides morning sickness, she sometimes began experiencing drowsiness, and her emotions frequently fluctuated without an Alpha’s comforting touch.

She felt deeply wronged.

Chu Yi saw it all and had discussed it many times with Dr. Yuan. They resolved to develop a serum for her, one that could numb her mentally, making her believe in her hallucinations that she was receiving an Alpha’s pheromones, thereby easing her suffering.

Chu Yi said, “The main issue is that Shi Anzhi’s pheromones are too difficult to simulate. I know it’s a bit of a stopgap, but Miss, Dr. Yuan says your body isn’t suitable for any complex medications right now.”

“So, for now, I can only think of a conservative but absolutely safe method.”

Shen Tingxue found it somewhat laughable when she heard this.

At this point, having brought herself to such a state, aside from being unlucky in fate, she had also been foolish enough.

Reaping what she sowed, what was there to say?

When her emotions fluctuated intensely, she almost wished her life would just rot away.

She had too many desires but lacked the ruthlessness, causing her to plummet heavily from the clouds. Her body was nearly unable to withstand her will.

The more this happened, the more frantically Shen Tingxue threw herself into work, using an intense schedule to numb herself.

The Empire’s situation was deteriorating. Border conflicts escalated, and enemy forces used new weapons of unknown origin. The Empire’s Third Army suffered heavy losses, with significant casualties.

When the battle reports reached the Special Zone, they sparked panic among the populace. As the war dragged on, some began questioning the military capabilities of the Governor’s Office. Governor Jiang Wei urgently needed a fresh batch of troops to deploy to the battlefield to stabilize his teetering rule.

The Super Alpha Project had suffered setbacks, consuming vast resources. Those out-of-control genetic monsters Jiang Wei dared not send into battle, and the accompanying Genesis Project was also progressing slowly, unable to provide a steady stream of expendable soldiers.

All the pressure was dumped by Jiang Wei onto the Shen family.

That day, the atmosphere in Shen Hong’s study was heavy.

The soundproof door blocked out all external noise, leaving only the faint hum of the air purification system.

Shen Hong paced back and forth behind his desk, his hands clasped behind his back. His expensive handmade leather shoes tread on the dark red carpet, his anxiety visibly palpable.

“Jiang Wei can’t wait any longer.”

Shen Hong finally stopped and slammed a confidential document from the Governor’s Office onto the desk. “Look at this. He’s ordering us to produce a prototype ready for combat deployment within a month.”

Shen Tingxue picked up the document. Its wording was severe.

After reading a few pages, she said, “Given the current situation, does he expect us to conjure it out of thin air?”

“He doesn’t care at all.”

Shen Hong waved his hand impatiently. “The situation at the border is growing increasingly tense, and Ji Tianheng is watching us like a hawk from behind. If we fail to deliver results soon, the Shen family will likely become expendable.”

Shen Tingxue had heard Shen Hong repeat these words countless times.

In recent years, Shen Hong’s health had declined, leaving him unable to handle certain matters himself, forcing him to rely on her.

Shen Tingxue’s gaze fell on the final section of the document, and she fell silent momentarily.

The intelligence division of the Governor’s Office had long taken notice of the chaos in District R. Jiang Wei had explicitly instructed in the document that he hoped the Shen family could propose an effective plan to control District R preferably by establishing public healthcare services to assess the situation in District R and administer vaccines to uncontrollable elements.

After reading the document carefully, Shen Tingxue felt her heart racing.

District R…

An idea quickly formed in her mind.

Now that Ji Tianheng had discovered her weakness and could push her and the Shen family into the abyss at any moment, it was strange that he had chosen to remain inactive.

The lingering threat of a sword hanging over her head felt more terrifying than a direct attack. But at this point, Shen Tingxue had nothing left to fear.

Death loomed from all directions there was no need to worry prematurely. Under such immense pressure, she found herself more willing to pursue something she truly desired.

She set the document down and looked up. “Father, perhaps we have an opportunity.”

Shen Hong regarded her with suspicion.

“Research on the stabilizer has hit a bottleneck, and a breakthrough is unlikely in the short term.”

Shen Tingxue’s thoughts were clear. “We are not entirely empty-handed. The lab still has numerous test subjects enhanced with the S-3 stabilizer. They have passed initial tests and, while not guaranteed to be completely stable, possess combat capabilities far surpassing those of ordinary Alphas.”

“What we lack now is real combat data. What if there were an extreme environment that could expose all their flaws?”

Shen Hong’s eyes narrowed as he grasped Shen Tingxue’s meaning.

Her words came faster, her eyes brightening. “District R is in chaos, a vacuum in the Empire’s order. The Governor wants a plan, so let’s give him one.”

“We can deploy the test subjects into District R and have them eliminate the troublemakers.”

“District R is lawless. We can test their limits without restraint and record all their physiological data under various conditions. This data would be far more valuable than running ten thousand simulations in the lab.”

“If we successfully retrieve this data, the development of the S-4 model might see a breakthrough.”

Shen Tingxue thought to herself, If the Shepherd Project succeeds, it will require real combat simulations anyway. This is the perfect opportunity to test it in District R.

Shen Hong was momentarily stunned by Shen Tingxue’s proposal. He looked at his Omega daughter.

After a moment of silence, he hesitated. “But if the test subjects lose control in District R, the consequences.”

Shen Tingxue cut him off. “If they lose control, I will eliminate them.”

She seized the moment to propose, “I will lead the team to District R and oversee the entire operation. Father, we have no choice but to take this gamble to buy time for the Shen family.”

A flicker of doubt crossed Shen Hong’s mind. “Tingxue, you seem unusually eager to leave the Special Zone?”

Shen Tingxue’s expression remained unchanged as she met Shen Hong’s gaze. “Yes, I’m willing to try any method that can protect the Shen family.”

“Once I arrive in District R, I’ll assess the situation and see if there’s an opportunity for the Shen family to gain a foothold there.”

Shen Hong sighed. At the very least, this approach could temporarily appease the Governor’s Office.

“Alright.”

He said, “I’ll test the Governor’s stance. I suspect he’ll be pleased that someone from the Special Zone is willing to go to District R.”

With Shen Hong’s approval, Shen Tingxue felt a wave of relief.

An indescribable anticipation surged within her she now had a reason to return to District R.

Two hours after Shen Hong left for the Governor’s Office, a report was placed on Governor Jiang Wei’s desk.

The head of the Intelligence Department reported respectfully, “Governor, Ji Tianheng has recently delivered an unprecedented volume of supplies to District R, including at least twelve standard containers of medical equipment, numerous cybernetic implants, and over two hundred sets of the latest-model combat suits.”

“These supplies are enough to equip a small elite force.”

Jiang Wei stared at the holographic map, where red arrows representing the Ji family’s transport aircraft pierced into District R. His expression darkened ominously.

“What is she trying to do?”

“Build a private kingdom right under my nose?”

The unusual activities in District R had long aroused his vigilance. Now, with Ji Tianheng’s involvement, his irritation grew. It was time for his own people to stir the murky waters of District R.

Since the Shen family had volunteered, he would use their hands to test the depths.

That evening, after receiving the Governor’s latest directive, Shen Tingxue received a communication from Shen Hong and Yan Ni, summoning her to the main residence for dinner.

Since the incident at the laboratory, Shen Tingxue had never returned to the main house and had ignored all of Yan Ni’s attempts to contact her.

She had neither the mood nor the energy to deal with her mother’s games.

At dusk, Shen Tingxue’s aircraft landed on the grassy lawn of the Shen family’s main residence.

Entering the dining room, she noted that it was far more ornate than her private residence, yet also much colder. The crystal chandelier cast a glow, making every piece of silverware gleam brilliantly.

Only three place settings were arranged along the long rosewood dining table, making the space feel particularly empty.

Shen Hong sat at the head of the table. Despite the supposed family reunion, his expression was far from welcoming.

Yan Ni sat beside him, trying hard to create a warm family atmosphere. She smiled as Shen Tingxue entered.

“Tingxue, you’re back.”

She hurried forward, attempting to take her daughter’s arm. “Come, sit. The kitchen specially prepared your favorite white truffle risotto today.”

Shen Tingxue subtly avoided Yan Ni’s touch and took her seat.

The meal felt like chewing wax. Shen Tingxue indifferently counted the minutes.

Shen Hong spoke little, while Yan Ni chattered about her recent social engagements with several wealthy ladies. Shen Tingxue only occasionally responded with a noncommittal hum, her stomach churning with discomfort.

A dish of slow-cooked deep-sea cod, served with a rich caviar cream sauce, was brought in by a servant.

The pungent scent of the sea, mingled with the cloying sweetness of the cream, suddenly made Shen Tingxue nauseous. She covered her mouth, her face paling.

She tried to suppress the feeling, but her body’s instincts were overwhelming. A sour bitterness rose in her throat.

Pushing her chair back, Shen Tingxue staggered toward the restroom.

“Tingxue…”

Yan Ni gasped and stood up abruptly.

Shen Hong frowned slightly.

Shen Tingxue leaned over the glass counter, wracked by violent dry heaves. The rabbit pregnancy hormone had disrupted the normal rhythm of her pregnancy, making her body increasingly sensitive. Her reactions to smells had grown so intense that even she found it frightening.

Yan Ni gently patted her back. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Tingxue lacked the strength to push her away, breathing weakly as she struggled.

Yan Ni’s gaze fell upon the line of Shen Tingxue’s jaw. “You’ve lost weight.”

She reached out to touch her daughter’s cheek, but Shen Tingxue instinctively turned her head away.

Yan Ni’s hand froze mid-air.

“I’m fine.”

Shen Tingxue supported herself against the wall, slowly straightening up before pushing Yan Ni’s hand aside.

“I’ve been too tired lately, having some stomach issues.”

She smoothed her slightly disheveled hair and adjusted her collar before leaving the restroom. She didn’t want to face her mother.

When she returned to the dining table, Shen Hong had already left.

Seeing this, Shen Tingxue simply went home, the torturous meal was finally over.

Back home, thoughts she hadn’t previously acknowledged began to surface.

She was pregnant. What kind of mother would she become?

Would she end up like Yan Ni? The thought sent a chill down her spine.

No, she would never become a mother like Yan Ni. Her child wouldn’t relive her life, wouldn’t grow up in such a bizarre and terrifying family.

As these thoughts crossed her mind, her heart ached with bitterness. What should she do? It seemed she was gradually resigning herself to keeping the child.

But would the child have only her as a mother.

A few days later, the Governor’s official approval came through Jiang Wei had agreed to Shen Hong’s plan.

Over the years, District R had festered like a malignant tumor. The Shen family’s move played right into Jiang Wei’s hands; he was more than happy to watch the fight from a safe distance.

Even before the official approval arrived, Shen Tingxue had already begun preparations.

She mobilized several of the Shen family’s elite members to conduct final adjustments for the test subjects, preparing data retrieval equipment and various medications.

On the eve of their scheduled departure, the Special Zone’s weather forecasting system issued its highest-level red alert.

[Warning: Detection of an approaching super solar storm. Estimated arrival in three hours. The electromagnetic environment above the Special Zone will be affected.]

[To ensure safety, the Governor has ordered the closure of all non-military grade aircraft routes, implementing airspace control for at least 48 hours.]

Shen Tingxue stared at the alert notification. Forty-eight hours. She couldn’t wait that long.

Her anxiety and hormonal imbalances had reached a breaking point. If she didn’t see Shi Anzhi soon, she would truly go mad.

Shen Tingxue decided to head to District R ahead of schedule.

She went to the garage and selected a white superluminal sports car. This limited edition vehicle had been modified with an independent energy system, making it suitable for District R’s environment.

Between the Special Zone and District R, only one train operated on Wednesdays, the transportation method chosen by most civilians. The wealthy, on the other hand, typically traveled by aircraft.

Very few people drove sports cars.

But Shen Tingxue didn’t hesitate, sliding into the driver’s seat.

“Xiao Yu, navigate to District R.”

Xiao Yu responded promptly.

[Miss, I have plotted the safest route for you.]

The sports car raced wildly along the empty magnetic tracks. After driving for what felt like an eternity, Shen Tingxue stopped at the first rest station three hours later.

She could almost feel the winds of District R already.

Shen Tingxue narrowed her eyes nostalgically, then remembered something. She pulled a brand new terminal from her pocket.

This was given to her by Bo Yue, the source address could be set to any fake coordinates, bypassing conventional firewalls.

Now she could send messages to Shi Anzhi again.

What should she send?

Having maintained the same posture for three hours, Shen Tingxue was now tired. She rested her head on the steering wheel for a while.

How could Shi Anzhi be so cruel? He had ignored her after she said just one sentence.

Feeling unwell, Shen Tingxue felt deeply wronged.

That scoundrel Shi Anzhi, he got her pregnant but refused to take responsibility, abandoning her and leaving her alone.

Fuming, Shen Tingxue felt another wave of nausea in her abdomen.

She switched back to the long-blocked private terminal and typed out a line of text in frustration.

[Irresponsible scumbag Alpha.]

She hit send, and the next second, code popped up on the screen.

[Signal transmission failed. Blocked.]

Shen Tingxue stared at the words and laughed, but as she laughed, tears began to fall.

Forget it, better not send it to curse Shi Anzhi. She was already disliked enough as it was.
