The Popular Darling Says She’s Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 22

Because exams had ended, the school went on break. However, the four of them still planned to meet frequently.

Where to meet became a problem.

At the dinner party, Wen Shiyu listened to them discuss various luxurious and high-end options—ranging from private villas and planes to yachts.

The more Wen Shiyu heard, the wider her eyes stretched. She couldn’t help but silently raise her hand:

“Um… can’t I just stay at school and try to earn a few more credits during the winter break?”

Ever since learning about Wen Shiyu’s surprising grades, Su Yan seemed to have added a few layers of appreciation for her.

Hearing this, Su Yan immediately sat closer, her eyes sparkling slightly: “Very enterprising. No wonder your grades improved so rapidly.”

She nodded, her tone carrying praise, “In that case, I can stay at school to accompany you as well.”

“?”

Seraphina immediately furrowed her brows. Before she could speak, Xia Te spoke up first: “You should forget it… If you stay, Seraphina will definitely have to stay at school too, and then wouldn’t I have to stay? This is a rare vacation.”

Seraphina then suggested that Wen Shiyu could just move into her villa, but Su Yan and Xia Te both showed looks of disapproval.

Wen Shiyu herself felt that Lady Cavendish probably wouldn’t be very happy about that…

The discussion fell into a stalemate for a moment. Finally, Xia Te proposed a new plan: “How about we all go on a trip together? Changing the environment might be nice.”

Seraphina considered it for a moment, “How about going to one of my small islands in the Mediterranean? It’s perfect for avoiding the cold and vacationing.”

This proposal finally gained the unanimous agreement of the four.

Or rather, Wen Shiyu’s opinion didn’t seem to matter much in the face of the consensus of the three young misses.

And so, the itinerary was set.

Wen Shiyu was shocked.

What does it mean for four people to go to a private island for a vacation together?

The whole island belongs to Seraphina?

Is that even possible?

Su Yan immediately stood up, saying it would be relatively easy for her side to apply for a private jet flight route.

While she went to make the calls to arrange it, Xia Te secretly gave Wen Shiyu a look.

She signaled her to hurry up and execute their plan. Then, she also found an excuse to leave.

Suddenly, only she and Seraphina were left at the dining table.

Wen Shiyu took a deep breath, encouraging herself in her heart.

Alright, she was now a “dog-skin plaster” Alpha—a “little white face” who only wanted to take advantage of Seraphina.

Because she was truly bad at greasy lines, she had spent the whole previous night cramming “overbearing CEO” quotes.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t said a single word yet. She just deliberately leaned a bit closer to Seraphina. Wen Shiyu’s ears were already turning a bit red.

Feeling her lean over, Seraphina looked up at her.

Wen Shiyu cleared her throat.

“Ahem… the expenses for the island…”

Seraphina was confused. “? You don’t need to spend any money.”

Wen Shiyu froze. She hadn’t even made a request yet, and Seraphina had already solved it.

This won’t do.

Wen Shiyu held back for a few seconds, feeling her toes cringing so hard they could have carved out a castle in her shoes. Finally, she squeezed out a sentence:

“Are you already this unable to leave me?”

Seraphina was stunned for a moment: “What?”

Wen Shiyu’s ears turned even redder, but she toughed it out and continued.

“I mean exactly what I said. You just suggested I move directly into your home. Were you thinking that, when the others aren’t around, you could… sleep with me?”

“I-it’s not like that!”

Seraphina finally reacted, and her cheeks flushed red instantly.

“You… you are my servant. Of course you have to stay by my side and wait for orders at any time! When I need you, do I have to specifically go look for you? If you’re willing to run back and forth, coming to the villa to find me, then suit yourself. I don’t care at all…”

Wen Shiyu felt Xia Te’s suggestion was working a bit. Seraphina really seemed to be getting a bit annoyed.

However, Seraphina soon looked up again, giving Wen Shiyu a strange glance, “What is wrong with you today?”

“Huh?”

“Suddenly saying things like that…”

Wen Shiyu panicked for a split second. She was, of course, trying her best to be disliked, but she couldn’t say that out loud.

She accidentally blurted out: “I just want to know if you want to… sleep with me.”

Seraphina froze, staring at her, her entire face suddenly becoming exceptionally red.

Wen Shiyu was stunned. Ah, no, she didn’t mean it that way.

Unfortunately, Su Yan and Xia Te returned at that moment. The group wanted to confirm if they would take off tomorrow evening.

Wen Shiyu had no way to explain further. Fortunately, Seraphina seemed truly angry and didn’t pay her any more attention.

After dinner, Wen Shiyu went back to her own dormitory to pack her luggage. After thinking for a bit, she sent a message to Xia Te.

【Your tactic seems to have some effect…】

It’s just a bit hard on the toes.

However, regarding Xia Te’s suggestion to be “proactive,” Wen Shiyu wasn’t without her worries.

While being proactive was indeed annoying, what if?

【But are you sure she won’t… what if she just directly accepts me?】

Please, how could that be possible?

On the other side, Xia Te almost rolled her eyes.

In fact, Seraphina had very high expectations for relationships; she once said she wanted to find an Alpha who matched her perfectly.

Xia Te remembered those words clearly. Besides, over all these years, even when meeting many excellent Alphas, she had never seen Seraphina like anyone.

Speaking of which, Xia Te slapped her leg.

【Right! Even though we can’t say you’re a Beta, why don’t we make her completely realize that you’re just an inferior Alpha? Your compatibility with her is super low. She’ll definitely despise you even more.】

Wen Shiyu thought about it; this was actually a good idea.

But as for bribing a doctor to provide a fake report, she could only rely on Xia Te.

As expected, seeking help from her was the right choice.

After finishing the call with Xia Te, Wen Shiyu casually grabbed a few sets of clothes she usually wore and stuffed them into her backpack, finishing her packing.

When she saw Seraphina again the next day, the other girl looked at her light luggage and circled around it curiously.

“You’re only bringing this one small bag?”

Seraphina asked in surprise, “You don’t intend to go to my island for vacation and still wear your school uniform, do you?”

“Uh…” Wen Shiyu did indeed intend that. Many of the clothes left behind by the original owner were either too flashy or restrictive, and they weren’t comfortable to wear.

But at that moment, Xia Te gave her a look, and Wen Shiyu immediately remembered.

“Because I don’t have many clothes to wear, and, and I’m pampered—I only want to wear expensive clothes. Seraphina, you… you take me to buy some clothes.”

Seraphina gave Wen Shiyu a slightly confused look, but unfortunately, she wasn’t angry; she even agreed.

“It’s true we can buy some new clothes before leaving.”

She’s not really going to buy them for me, is she? Wen Shiyu started to regret it.

Xia Te, however, was in full agreement, saying from the side: “Why don’t the three of us go together? Su Yan happens to have things to handle and can’t make it. We can just meet directly at the airport later!”

An hour later, the three of them actually arrived at the mall.

The noble young misses naturally had exclusive VIP suites and attentive personal shopper services.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods with eye-watering prices in front of her, Wen Shiyu knew in her heart she should desperately make Seraphina buy the expensive ones for her, but she really found it hard to go through with it.

The salesperson gradually understood that Wen Shiyu preferred loose and comfortable styles and went to swap some out.

Wen Shiyu secretly observed. Seraphina was actually in a pretty good mood, without a hint of anger. She was even helping her pick things out with great interest.

This won’t work.

Could it be that Seraphina is simply too wealthy, and she doesn’t care at all about spending her money?

Then, she’d have to continue being greasy!

Wen Shiyu saw several styles of bikinis nearby. She took a deep breath, grabbed them, and went into the changing room.

When she finished changing and came out, she deliberately let her hair down, trying to appear narcissistic, but in reality, she went over like a puppy to proactively ask Seraphina: “…Does it look good?”

Seraphina’s cheeks were slightly red. She had originally intended to answer honestly—because it actually looked quite good.

Wen Shiyu was tall, had good proportions, and wasn’t skin-and-bones. She even had some faint lines on her midriff.

She just didn’t expect Wen Shiyu to directly choose a bikini.

But before she could speak, Wen Shiyu suddenly took a step forward, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into the changing room.

“Are you… captivated by me?”

Seraphina looked at her in shock.

Wen Shiyu took a deep breath. She herself felt her face burning, but she still toughed it out, stepped forward, and gently pinned Seraphina against the mirrored wall of the fitting room. She struck a less-than-standard “wall-slam” pose and asked in what she thought was a domineering tone:

“Do you want to… secretly kiss me here?”

Seraphina stared at her blankly. Then, she actually let out a “pfft” and laughed.

While gently pushing her and whispering “don’t,” she tried to leave the fitting room.

Wen Shiyu panicked. It felt as if she had encountered an exam she couldn’t handle for the first time.

What should a greasy Alpha do right now??

She steeled her heart, blocked the way, and leaned directly in, intending to “force a kiss” to make Seraphina hate her more.

But what she didn’t expect was that she actually kissed Seraphina squarely.

“Mmph…” Seraphina seemingly didn’t expect her to be serious and was startled. At first, she tried to push her away.

But as the kiss went on, Seraphina’s face grew redder and redder. Though her mouth said, “I hate you… don’t do this,” her resistance gradually weakened…

Although Wen Shiyu felt she was being incredibly greasy, it didn’t change the fact that her face was already flushed red and her voice was quiet.

Actually, she looked a bit shy.

Moreover, her lips were very soft and her breath was clean. Though the kiss was sudden, it wasn’t repulsive.

Seraphina had never experienced Wen Shiyu being so proactive before. Especially since they were outside, her neck uncontrollably turned red, and her strength ebbed away.

Her wrists were held by Wen Shiyu and pinned above her head, yet she didn’t break free. Instead, she slowly began to respond to the kiss.

Wen Shiyu was the one who panicked first.

Help, help. What do I do now? I can’t actually keep kissing her forever, right?

They were outside, and the salesperson could walk in at any time.

Fortunately, at that moment, Xia Te’s voice rang out opportunely outside the door: “Seraphina? Are you two done trying things on?”

Seraphina snapped out of it like waking from a dream. She hurriedly pushed Wen Shiyu away, her breath slightly ragged, her voice very soft.

“You, you rogue… Wait, you’re not allowed to go out like that! Change back first!”

Wen Shiyu: “Huh?”

Seraphina covered the bikini-clad Wen Shiyu with clothes. Only then did she step out first.

Xia Te met them, not noticing anything wrong. Her tone carried the excitement of having discovered something new: “Seraphina! There’s a new free pheromone compatibility experience station in this mall. It seems quite accurate. Want to check it out?”

Inside the fitting room, Wen Shiyu heard this and paused her movements.

No way… Xia Te actually arranged the “test” inside the mall?

Isn’t this a bit too obvious?

However, Seraphina blinked, looking back at Wen Shiyu who had just finished changing and come out. She seemed genuinely piqued with interest: “Then… shall we go see?”

The three walked over. Unexpectedly, Xia Te had even hired actors.

At the entrance, there were several pairs of young couples.

One Alpha was holding up a freshly printed report: “Babe, look! 95%! I knew we were destiny!”

He hugged the Omega in his arms tightly, and the latter cooperatively showed a look of happiness.

Immediately after, another pair’s Omega took a report showing “60% compatibility.” She first took a standard sharp intake of breath, then staggered back half a step, covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

“Sixty… sixty? No… this is too low! Let’s break up!”

The Alpha who was being dumped looked bewildered: “Lily! No! Compatibility doesn’t represent everything!”

The Omega ran away crying: “No, we won’t be happy! Sooner or later, you’ll be attracted by an Omega with higher compatibility!”

Wen Shiyu: “…” So awkward.

The acting was way too obvious!

She sneakily looked at Seraphina. Fortunately, she wasn’t really looking over there, but was instead focused on waiting for their test results.

Soon, a smiling “staff member” led them to the instrument. After some operation, a beautifully printed report was handed over.

the conclusion on the paper was clear and stinging: Wen Shiyu’s comprehensive pheromone rating was F (extremely unstable, inferior).

And the calculated compatibility result with Seraphina was a shocking 30% (extremely low, possible failure to soothe).

Seraphina took the report. When her gaze fell on those numbers and ratings, she visibly froze for a moment.

She frowned slightly, then, as if unable to figure something out, remained silent and seemed preoccupied during the subsequent shopping.

Xia Te gave Wen Shiyu a look; she felt the plan must have been very successful.

She signaled her to keep it up.

Wen Shiyu: “…”

In the evening, the three met up with Su Yan at the airport VIP lounge, then went directly through a private passage to board the Cavendish family’s private jet.

The interior of the cabin was spacious beyond imagination; rather than a plane, it was more like a mobile luxury penthouse in the sky. It not only had leather sofas and a bar but also independent bedrooms.

The plane taxied smoothly. As it climbed, a low engine hum echoed in the cabin.

Seraphina had been thinking for a long time. As the plane rose into the night sky, she suddenly felt she had figured it out.

No wonder she always felt… it wasn’t enough. It turned out to be because Wen Shiyu’s pheromone concentration was low, and their compatibility was low.

So… it’s just that they need more, larger, and more intimate contact to reach a normal effect!

As expected, there was nothing wrong with her at all.

Everything was explained.

Seraphina let out a breath, feeling much more relaxed instead.

At this moment, Wen Shiyu took a deep breath and forced herself to strongly (at least in her own mind) grab Seraphina’s hand resting on the armrest.

Seraphina was startled and turned her head to look at her.

Amidst the continuous background hum, and under the cover of the dim cabin lighting, Wen Shiyu leaned in close.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled slightly in the shadows, looking at her intently and unblinkingly at this moment.

“Don’t think that just because I’m an inferior Alpha, you won’t need me anymore.”

“You still… can’t leave me, right?”

Seraphina’s eyelashes trembled. She felt her face begin to heat up.

What was wrong with Wen Shiyu today? What did she mean by this?

“Do you… really want me to be unable to leave you?”
