The Lost Omega Heiress is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 50

Such a Shen Tingxue, she still didn’t want to love her.

Shi Anzhi didn’t answer immediately.

She looked at the Omega before her: Shen Tingxue’s lips were pale, her eyes swollen and red, her tea-colored pupils trembling slightly with unease, as if on the verge of tears again.

Shen Tingxue had once been the source of all her tenderness, giving her unprecedented joy but also inflicting unbearable pain.

Give her another chance? How could it be so easy?

The memories of being deceived and publicly humiliated were deeply embedded in her soul, each recollection pulling at the pain.

Shen Tingxue’s words always sounded so sweet she could effortlessly speak of affection, love, and longing, and even deceive without hesitation about whether there was a child.

Shi Anzhi wasn’t sure if she would step into another abyss.

Teng Ying’s words still echoed in her ears hormonal imbalance, miscarriage.

Whether the child was real or not, Shen Tingxue’s body was indeed on the brink of collapse. Her coming to find her was undoubtedly tied to her need for Shi Anzhi’s pheromones.

Shi Anzhi met Shen Tingxue’s gaze. “Do you want to continue being with me?”

She smiled faintly. “Get back together?”

Then, she gently reminded her, “But you’re someone else’s fiancée.”

Shen Tingxue froze.

She blinked in confusion, momentarily forgetting her distress as she hurriedly defended herself, “I won’t be for much longer.”

“I’ll resolve it. Can you give me some time?”

Shi Anzhi showed no sign of delight. “How do you plan to resolve it?”

The question caught Shen Tingxue off guard. She had been too busy recently. Although she had already planted someone in the border military hospital, she hadn’t had time to confirm the latest progress of the infiltration.

Rather than letting Jiang Qi die from a drug-induced infection, she wanted his death to occur at a more advantageous time for her. The operation was complex, and any misstep could bring her significant trouble.

After a moment’s thought, Shen Tingxue decided to skip the details and speak honestly.

“I want to kill him.”

Shi Anzhi’s eyelid twitched. For a moment, it felt as if she had traveled back in time to when she and Nian Xue had discussed killing Ding Sha.

In that instant, she nearly forgot where she was. A long-dormant excitement stirred in her heart, and she pressed further, “How do you plan to do it?”

Shen Tingxue’s thoughts drifted. Frowning slightly at the tricky nature of the matter, she said, “I… I’m still not sure if it will work.”

“Anzhi, but I promise, I will never become anyone else’s wife.”

As she spoke, Shen Tingxue hurriedly made a vow, her eyes bright. “I only like you. The engagement with someone else was forced upon me. Please believe me, I will definitely resolve this.”

Somehow, as she listened to Shen Tingxue’s sweet, almost saccharine confession, the excitement in Shi Anzhi’s heart began to fade.

Shi Anzhi swallowed. “You mean you plan to rely on yourself?”

Shen Tingxue, still unaware of anything amiss, nodded firmly.

“Yes. I didn’t tell you before because I was unsure if it would work and didn’t dare to be honest.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Will you believe that I have the ability to do this?”

Shi Anzhi lowered her head and fell silent.

For a moment, she had let herself hope too much had even imagined that she and Shen Tingxue could return to how they were in the beginning.

Shen Tingxue never felt she could reveal everything to her and then work together to solve anything. She hadn’t included her in her life’s coordinates at all, nor did she believe they could walk hand in hand.

Was it because she looked down on her?

Shi Anzhi felt disappointed, yet she thought this disappointment had arrived at just the right time, serving as a timely reminder.

She realized that during their confrontation just now, Shen Tingxue had made what seemed like a sincere confession but had still skillfully avoided all the most critical questions.

What exactly was the Shepherd Project? What did Shen Tingxue ultimately want to do?

Shen Tingxue hadn’t voluntarily answered any of these questions. Other issues were also addressed only when Shi Anzhi pressed for answers, like squeezing toothpaste.

She hadn’t even made it clear whether she was pregnant or not.

Shi Anzhi’s heart gradually grew cold again.

She felt exhausted. Until Shen Tingxue opened up further, she no longer wanted to offer everything she had without reservation.

Shi Anzhi avoided the question of whether she believed her or not. “Focus on recovering your health first. We can talk about other things later.”

Shen Tingxue’s body stiffened.

Had she answered poorly? Had she upset Shi Anzhi again?

Shen Tingxue cautiously observed Shi Anzhi’s reaction. “Okay.”

She noticed a trace of weariness in Shi Anzhi’s eyes. “Are you very tired right now?”

“A little.”

Shi Anzhi rubbed her neck. Her sleeping posture had been poor the night before, and she had released too many pheromones. She needed some time alone to rest.

Shen Tingxue said with concern, “My people brought some medicine. When they arrive, I’ll have them bring it over.”

Shi Anzhi hummed in acknowledgment.

Shen Tingxue felt Shi Anzhi growing distant again and didn’t understand why.

She wanted to say something but was afraid that pushing further would only make Shi Anzhi more upset. “Then you should go rest quickly. Thank you for still being willing to release pheromones to help me.”

Shi Anzhi hadn’t completely pushed her away. That was enough. She still had a chance.

Shi Anzhi paused for a moment and said, “Lie down and rest. Teng Ying said you need quiet recuperation now.”

After speaking, Shi Anzhi tucked Shen Tingxue’s blanket in and left the room.

Her heart felt somewhat stifled.

She realized she no longer had the same tolerance for Shen Tingxue as before. Compared to the past, Shen Tingxue seemed to have improved a lot.

But she still fell short of what Shi Anzhi wanted.

A cool breeze brushed her face, carrying a hint of mist. Shi Anzhi questioned her heart: even now, she still didn’t want to love this version of Shen Tingxue.

The magnetic storm had passed. Though the sky still retained a grayish hue, it had finally brightened.

The acid fog and continuous rain that had persisted for over a week had dissipated. For the first time in a long while, sunlight broke through the clouds. The unpleasant smell in the air had faded significantly, replaced by the unique freshness of soil after rain.

It was almost noon again.

Given the current chaotic situation, finding a good chef in District R wasn’t something that could be done easily. After Ning Yuyou agreed to Teng Ying’s request, she began posting recruitment notices but received no responses.

Ning Yuyou even considered paying out of her own pocket. After some thought, she decided it would be better to hire the best chef available.

She requested permission from Ji Tianheng to bring in a high-end chef from the Special Zone who could prepare a variety of dishes. Ji Tianheng replied quickly and dispatched someone with remarkable speed.

Ji Tianheng had been very busy lately and was annoyed that he hadn’t thought of this earlier. He promptly sent a skilled chef to his precious daughter, along with an intelligent cleaning robot.

By 2 p.m., the high-end chef would be arriving in District R.

For lunch, Shi Anzhi went back to her room to catch up on sleep, while Shen Tingxue needed a light meal. Teng Ying hastily threw together a simple meal, adding some nutritional paste to Shen Tingxue’s portion.

She ordered Ning Yuyou to wash the dishes after eating.

Now, Ning Yuyou was clumsily washing the dishes.

Her left hand was still bandaged with medicated ointment, making it inconvenient to exert force, so she could only use her right hand to slowly wipe the grease off the plates.

Hot water flowed from the faucet, steaming up into a white mist. Her mind was restless, how should she report to President Ji?

Not long ago, a message from Ji Tianheng had arrived.

[How have things been these past two days?]

According to her intelligence network, the Shen family’s advance team had just boarded the aircraft this morning, so she hadn’t been aware of Shen Tingxue’s arrival.

Ning Yuyou hesitated, mentally drafting the wording for her report.

Pregnancy, rabbit progesterone, hormonal imbalance, miscarriage the sheer volume of information was overwhelming.

She could already imagine the look of shock on President Ji’s face when she learned all of this.

Shen Tingxue was suspected to be pregnant with Shi Anzhi’s child and was now staying in their medical room. Shi Anzhi’s attitude was ambiguous seemingly indifferent, yet she had stayed by Shen Tingxue’s side all night.

Ning Yuyou knew that President Ji usually despised the Shen family. Now, the person President Ji valued had a bloodline connection with Shen Tingxue.

From Ning Yuyou’s perspective, she suspected that after reporting to Ji Tianheng, she would be ordered to eliminate the child and perhaps stir up some trouble along the way.

She had killed many people before, but she had never harmed a fetus.

If she didn’t mention it and something happened later, she couldn’t bear the responsibility for withholding information.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Even washing dishes, you’re just wasting water.”

Teng Ying’s voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling Ning Yuyou.

She turned around and saw Teng Ying leaning against the doorframe, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Ning Yuyou tossed the cloth aside. “I was thinking about what delicious dishes to have the cook prepare tonight.”

Teng Ying snorted and walked into the kitchen. “You were thinking about how to report to your master, weren’t you?”

Ning Yuyou’s expression faltered.

Teng Ying walked over to her, picked up a clean glass, poured herself half a glass of wine, and leaned against the cabinet next to her, the distance between them very close.

“Little Yuzu, I think you’re quite cute.”

Ning Yuyou was amused by the nickname “Little Yuzu,” and some of her frustration eased.

After pouring the wine, Teng Ying sealed the bottle. “Tell me the truth, what exactly does Ji Tianheng want you here for?”

“Someone as important as Ji Tianheng, sending equipment and medicine, what’s in it for her?”

“Is it because Shi Anzhi is a good fighter? There are plenty of capable Alphas out there. Why would she take a fancy to one with a damaged gland?”

Some of Teng Ying’s questions piqued Ning Yuyou’s curiosity as well.

As a subordinate, she only carried out orders and had no right to question Ji Tianheng about anything.

Ning Yuyou turned off the faucet and dried her hands with a towel.

She looked at Teng Ying. “Sister, what I’m about to say is the truth.”

“Over these past few days, I’ve truly heard many of your and Anzhi-jie’s thoughts. I dare say, you don’t need to worry at all about President Ji doing anything harmful.”

“President Ji’s goals align with yours in the broader sense. We all hope that Anzhi-jie can establish a firm foothold in District R and build her own influence.”

“So, we are not enemies.”

This was the direct reason they had been able to get along so well recently.

Ji Tianheng had provided so many supplies, and Teng Ying knew in her heart that there was no need to be overly hostile to the people sent by him.

Teng Ying took a sip of liquor, the spicy liquid sliding down her throat, bringing a wave of heat.

“What about the Shen family?”

Teng Ying narrowed her eyes. “How much does Ji Tianheng know about the situation between Shi Anzhi and Shen Tingxue?”

Even though Teng Ying was in District R, she had heard that the Ji and Shen families were on very bad terms. Some storytellers even fabricated rumors that it was due to a feud over a woman.

“Isn’t she afraid that Shi Anzhi might be completely bewitched by the Shen family’s young lady and end up betraying the Ji family?”

“Of course, President Ji is worried.”

Ning Yuyou sighed, a genuine look of distress on her face. “That’s why she sent me here.”

She had a cute appearance and sometimes deliberately acted naive or clumsy to make others let their guard down, but her current state was genuine.

Perhaps because Teng Ying was straightforward and didn’t beat around the bush, she decided to tell the truth.

Teng Ying let out a meaningful “Oh.”

“So, you have a special mission in this regard too.”

Ning Yuyou smiled wryly. Ji Tianheng had told her to prevent Shi Anzhi and Shen Tingxue from having too much contact. But given the current situation, how could she possibly prevent it without resorting to drastic measures?

That was why she felt so unsettled.

Ning Yuyou couldn’t help but ask, “Do you think Miss Shen is really pregnant?”

Teng Ying raised an eyebrow. “Even her Alpha isn’t sure, let alone me.”

“I don’t have obstetrics equipment here. With the interference of rabbit pregnancy hormones, I can’t be 100% certain.”

Ning Yuyou was momentarily speechless.

No matter what, she had to report everything clearly to Ji Tianheng.
