The Popular Darling Says She’s Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 3

The Transmigration Diary 3

It must be her hearing.

Her English was truly atrocious.

Wen Shiyu thought.

Haha, how could anyone mishear something like this!

However, the figures of the bodyguards gradually closing in around her didn’t seem to be joking.

Seraphina wiped her eyes and finally looked up, forcing back the tears in her eyes.

“Wen Shiyu, don’t think you’ve won just because of this.”

“I will definitely make you pay for your actions; you will regret this!”

Wen Shiyu: “No, there must be some misunderstanding…”

“Take her away!” Seraphina turned around decisively and ordered the bodyguards.

Two tall Alpha bodyguards immediately stepped forward and, with an irresistible posture, “invited” Wen Shiyu into a pitch-black limousine.

This car wasn’t even the same one Seraphina was in.

Wen Shiyu could only be forced to shut up.

Inside the pitch-black limousine, the interior space was massive, but the windows were covered with dark thermal film, isolating all prying eyes from the outside world. It was practically ready-made for kidnapping and murder…

The two Alpha bodyguards sitting across from her were like two mountains; no matter what she said, they remained silent.

Wen Shiyu: “…”

Help.

What is going on!

After an unknown amount of time driving, the vehicle finally came to a smooth stop.

The car door was opened by a bodyguard.

What met her eyes was an estate as magnificent as a castle. The massive cast-iron gates seemed to pierce directly into the clouds.

The gold-on-blue lion crest on the gate looked down at her from above, radiating a cold light.

That seemed to be the symbol of the Cavendish family.

Perhaps because of the prestigious academy background, Wen Shiyu remembered the family’s power being described in extremely exaggerated terms.

It seemed that since the 16th century, they had been the “power behind the throne.” Family members were widely active in politics, the military, and even academia, with comments suggesting even kings had to defer to them.

For such a family to stand tall throughout history, there must be countless bones beneath their feet. The gold-on-blue lion on the family crest symbolized military force under the protection of royal power.

Wen Shiyu had been dismissive when reading the book, but seeing it for real now, she inexplicably broke into a cold sweat.

She was led through the meticulously manicured front garden, walked past a corridor hung with massive classical oil paintings, and stepped up a spiraling marble staircase…

Finally, she was brought to a spacious and bright reception hall.

Waiting for her, however, was not Seraphina, but an elderly couple.

The butler standing to the side lowered his eyes in a bow and introduced them with a respectful posture as Mr. and Mrs. Cavendish.

Wen Shiyu froze for a moment.

Seraphina’s parents??

Seraphina’s father sat in the main seat, his figure exceptionally tall and upright. Even while sitting, he gave off an invisible sense of pressure.

The mother standing beside him vaguely showed glimpses of Seraphina’s features, but her temperament was colder and sharper, like an iceberg covered in a thousand years of frost.

Both were top-tier Alpha and Omega.

Wen Shiyu never expected the misunderstanding to reach this level.

She took a deep breath and just as she opened her mouth, “Mr. Cavendish, Madam, I…”

To her surprise, the cold-tempered Madam actually stepped forward a few paces and took her hands.

She even smiled at her.

“Miss Wen, please sit down first.” Her voice was gentler than her appearance suggested, carrying an elegant accent.

“It must have been a long journey. Would you like some tea and snacks?”

“Ah? No, no thank you…”

Wen Shiyu sat down stiffly on the sofa. She was actually politely served tea by the Madam.

At the same time, a gentle-looking middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed slightly toward the Cavendish couple.

The Madam introduced him to Wen Shiyu: “This is Dr. Frank, the family’s medical consultant.”

Wen Shiyu was confused at first, but after listening to the doctor explain the situation for a while, her eyes grew wider and wider.

Only then did she learn that Omegas with rabbit attributes could actually…

“Pseudocyesis?”

“Yes.” Dr. Frank nodded.

“After Miss Seraphina experienced that unexpected heat, due to the extremely violent fluctuations in pheromones and the addition of specific stimuli, it induced a rare ‘pseudocyesis’ (false pregnancy) syndrome.

This is rare among those with rabbit-type traits, but there are precedents.”

“Currently, Miss Seraphina’s mind and body completely believe and have entered a ‘pregnancy’ state. She will also experience a series of pregnancy symptoms in the future.”

Wen Shiyu was completely stunned.

She subconsciously looked at the Cavendish couple. Their faces showed little surprise; they clearly knew the situation already.

They also understood that Seraphina stubbornly believed the “child” was hers.

Wen Shiyu gasped, eager to defend herself: “But, I didn’t…”

Nothing happened between them!

Dr. Frank interrupted her, his tone gentle yet professional.

“Miss Wen, we know you are a Beta; it is impossible for you to make an Omega pregnant. We also believe nothing happened between you and the Young Lady.

But the triggers for pseudocyesis are complex and diverse. Strong psychological suggestion, pheromone illusions, and extreme tension can all be causes.”

“Miss Seraphina’s current condition is very special and fragile.

We have discussed many treatment methods, but none are quite feasible.

If we use medication to forcibly terminate the pseudocyesis, the sudden and drastic changes in hormone levels are very likely to cause permanent damage to her glands.

If we tell her the baby is gone, or tell her she isn’t pregnant, it could easily trigger psychological trauma, such as depression or self-perception disorders.

Currently, the safest and least harmful way is actually to follow this process and let her realize she was never truly pregnant after the body ‘finishes’ this cycle.”

Ah? Wen Shiyu still hadn’t quite reacted when the Madam, Isabella, finally spoke slowly.

“So… we need your help, Miss Wen.”

What does that mean?

Wen Shiyu still found it somewhat unbelievable, “But, Seraphina, she hates me very much.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Madam Isabella said.

“Precisely because your relationship is… not harmonious, and there are even well-known conflicts, in a way, this might actually be a ‘good thing’.”

Wen Shiyu was puzzled.

Dr. Frank continued to explain: “If Miss Seraphina’s ‘partner’ makes her feel resistant and unhappy, the accumulation of such negative emotions might accelerate her subconscious rejection of the ‘pregnancy’ state, thereby prompting her to wake up faster and escape the influence of pseudocyesis.”

The Madam nodded: “What we need you to do is simply cooperate with her current perception in necessary situations, and… keep this secret absolutely.”

Wen Shiyu fell silent. She began to understand.

The doctor had likely given Seraphina a comprehensive examination and knew nothing had happened between them.

This wasn’t an interrogation; it was… a secret request for a deal.

Wen Shiyu quickly weighed it in her mind, trying to grasp a bit of the initiative.

“Madam, helping a classmate is only natural… but in fact, I might be withdrawing from school soon. I might not be able to…”

“Miss Wen need not worry about academic issues,” Madam Isabella took over the conversation almost the moment her words fell.

“As long as you are willing to provide the necessary cooperation in this matter, the tuition for St. Windsor Academy and your subsequent reasonable expenses at school will not be an issue.”

As expected, they had already investigated her and grasped her greatest weakness.

Wen Shiyu actually had no room to refuse.

Fortunately, their goals were highly aligned with hers.

Her biggest problem right now was indeed that crushing tuition fee.

As long as she cooperated with their acting and kept this matter hidden, she could easily obtain financial support.

She didn’t want anyone to know she was involved with Seraphina in this way anyway.

It wasn’t like she didn’t know how many admirers Seraphina had.

If anyone at the academy knew she had “impregnated” the campus idol, that would be disastrous!

By the time she graduated, Seraphina’s illness would surely be cured. She only had to return to her country, and she would have nothing more to do with these twisted plots.

It was actually a very perfect solution.

Wen Shiyu was quite satisfied in her heart. Just as she was thinking whether she could get a bit more security during the negotiations…

A somewhat hurried knock suddenly came from outside the door, followed by Seraphina’s voice, which carried obvious agitation:

“Father, Mother! This is my business… I can handle it myself, I don’t need you to intervene!”

The butler looked for instructions and, after receiving a barely perceptible nod from the Madam, stepped forward to open the door.

Seraphina walked in quickly. She had clearly tidied her appearance in a hurry, but her slightly messy hair and the lingering red traces in her eyes still betrayed the emotional fluctuations from moments ago.

“Seraphina.” The mother, Isabella, spoke first, her voice gentle yet unshakable, “This child, you cannot keep.”

Seraphina’s body stiffened for a barely noticeable second, but she did not respond directly to her mother’s command. Her gaze turned to Wen Shiyu.

“You, come out with me.”

Wen Shiyu subconsciously looked at the Cavendish couple and Dr. Frank. She quickly understood.

Everyone had to act.

She took a secret breath, stood up silently, and followed Seraphina out of the reception room.

Seraphina pulled her along with large strides, taking her to a relatively smaller study on the other side of the same floor, and then slammed the door shut with a “bang.”

Wen Shiyu had just glanced at the decorations in this room and hadn’t quite reacted when Seraphina turned around and suddenly said,

“I will not have an abortion.”

Wen Shiyu looked back in surprise.

“Of course, I will never forget your offense against me! I will make you pay for everything you’ve done… but,”

She paused for a moment, “This child, I’ve decided to keep it.”

After saying that, she turned her head away, a faint blush spreading across her fair cheeks, her expression complex and hard to read. Her hand also subconsciously covered her flat lower abdomen lightly.

The light from the window just happened to outline her slightly lowered light-colored hair, making her radiate a beauty that was almost gentle, holy, and imbued with maternal light.

Wen Shiyu watched in a daze, forgetting to speak for a moment.

Quickly, Seraphina seemed to regain her strength, or rather, raised her thorns. She took a step forward and spoke to Wen Shiyu in a commanding tone:

“And you, as part of your atonement, must cooperate with me. Do you understand?”

Seeing that Wen Shiyu did not respond immediately, she knit her brows impatiently, her voice rising: “Speak!”

Wen Shiyu felt her throat tighten.

She really wanted to explain immediately that this was an absolutely absurd blunder from beginning to end, that she had done nothing!

But all the words of defense rolled around on the tip of her tongue a few times, and thinking of the tuition, she painfully swallowed them all back.

“…Alright.”

Wen Shiyu touched her forehead, let out a breath, and said sincerely.

“Seraphina, I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Back then in the cafeteria, I just… I just wanted to help you.”

She paused and added, “Now… I also want to help you.”

Seraphina’s face turned red again. In her “memory,” Wen Shiyu’s attitude was forceful, her actions urgent, taking advantage of the fact that she was weak all over during her heat and ignoring her repeated “no’s,” making her cry… anyway, she was a total bastard!

Now she was pretending to be a good person.

However, since Wen Shiyu was willing to cooperate without the need for threats or bribes, the tension on Seraphina’s face relaxed slightly.

She pulled a long face and warned again: “I only need you temporarily for now; this child will have nothing to do with you in the future.”

“…Of course.” Wen Shiyu nodded.

Seraphina looked at her for a while, frowned again, and gave a huff. She seemed very suspicious of Wen Shiyu’s “docility” at this moment, but she didn’t say anything more and just stood there waiting.

Wen Shiyu didn’t quite understand what she meant and also stood there without moving.

Seraphina looked at her a few times, her earlobes turning red again.

“What are you still waiting for?”

“Ah?”

The two looked at each other in confusion.

Seraphina gritted her teeth, appearing more and more angry. She stamped her foot and lowered her voice, her tone carrying a type of flustered annoyance at being played.

“Release your pheromones…”
