The Sickly Beauty Beta Got Pregnant After A Political Marriage - Chapter 4

The person who wrote this answer must be an Omega, Shen Jiayu thought with a flushing face.

At the mere thought of the phrase “having a baby,” Shen Jiayu’s beautiful face turned as red as an apple. His brain couldn’t process things properly, he just thought frantically, “But I’m a Beta, I can’t have babies,” and similar thoughts.

It took a long while before Shen Jiayu finally emerged from under the covers. Still blushing, he continued browsing other answers. The one he just saw probably wasn’t suitable for him at all.

He looked through several more until he found one that read: “Every day before the other person leaves for work, help them tie their necktie and wish them a successful day at work.”

Shen Jiayu blinked and, with a crimson face, added this response to his favorites.

He thought. Maybe I should try this one first.

The next morning, while the two were having breakfast together, Wen Xiuheng asked how Shen Jiayu’s preparations for the new semester’s materials were going. He also mentioned that once school started, he would have a driver pick him up and drop him off on schedule every day.

Shen Jiayu responded to each point very seriously.

To Auntie Cui, who was standing nearby, the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit more relaxed than the day before. She was genuinely happy for them.

When it was time for Wen Xiuheng to leave, Shen Jiayu stood up and followed him to the entryway.

Wen Xiuheng turned to look at him, as if asking if he had something to say.

Shen Jiayu summoned his courage and glanced at the black tie on the man’s chest. It had already been tied perfectly by Mr. Wen himself. It seemed there was no chance to help him with the tie today…

Fortunately, there was something else he could do.

Imitating the answer he saw yesterday, Shen Jiayu spoke in a soft, sweet voice, “Mr. Wen, I wish you a successful day at work.”

After saying this, Shen Jiayu only dared to look at Wen Xiuheng for a brief second before nervously lowering his gaze, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.

The Alpha across from him did not respond for a long time.

Wen Xiuheng looked at the well-behaved yet flustered youth before him. As the boy tilted his head down, he revealed his slender nape and snow white skin. His fluffy, soft, pale-rose hair rested gently against the back of his neck, the strands at the crown of his head looked as soft as marshmallows to the touch.

Wen Xiuheng’s eyes flickered. His arm, which had been hanging at his side, stirred and began to lift.

Suddenly, the vibration of a ringing phone interrupted Wen Xiuheng’s movement.

The Alpha pursed his lips, withdrew his arm, and spoke slowly to the youth, “Thank you.”

Shen Jiayu looked up again, but Wen Xiuheng had already turned and walked out the door.

Shen Jiayu blinked and stood there for a moment.

He thought that he and Mr. Wen would probably get to know each other gradually.

After Wen Xiuheng left, Shen Jiayu went to Chengya Hospital to visit his parents.

His father was still in a coma, but fortunately, his vital signs had basically stabilized, and he was out of immediate danger. His mother told him that several well-known doctors had visited yesterday, and the hospital was discussing a new treatment plan.

Mrs. Shen affectionately stroked Shen Jiayu’s head, telling him not to worry too much about her and his father and to take good care of himself. For her and his father, seeing Shen Jiayu live a healthy and happy life was their greatest wish.

Hearing this, Shen Jiayu couldn’t help but feel his eyes redden, and he nodded obediently.

After returning from the hospital, Shen Jiayu waited until well after dinner before Wen Xiuheng finally returned to the villa.

From the moment he stepped through the door, Auntie Cui noticed that something was wrong with his state of mind.

Auntie Cui had worked for Wen Xiuheng for over a decade, taking care of his daily life since he was twelve. When Wen Xiuheng moved out of the main family residence, she followed him. She was very familiar with his condition.

Currently, Wen Xiuheng’s face looked cold and pale. Auntie Cui knew these were likely the premonitory signs of his Rut Disorder occurring early. Wen Xiuheng had suffered from this symptom ever since he presented as an Alpha, it flared up periodically with varying degrees of severity. Previously, it had been managed with medication.

“Young Master, should I call the doctor?” Auntie Cui stepped forward to ask.

Wen Xiuheng said in a deep voice, “No need. Just bring the medicine.”

Auntie Cui nodded hesitantly.

Before heading up the stairs, Wen Xiuheng turned and asked, “Where is Jiayu?”

“Master Shen went to the hospital to visit his parents today and stayed for most of the day. He is resting in his room now.”

“Mm,” Wen Xiuheng nodded and entered his own room.

Auntie Cui skillfully prepared the water and medication and carried them to the second floor, where she happened to run into Shen Jiayu coming out of his room.

Shen Jiayu was a bit thirsty and wanted to go get some water. Seeing Auntie Cui heading toward Mr. Wen’s room, he curiously approached and asked, “Auntie Cui, is Mr. Wen back?”

Auntie Cui: “The Young Master is back. I’m taking these medicines to him now.”

“Medicine…?” Shen Jiayu was surprised. “Is Mr. Wen sick?”

Auntie Cui nodded and told him about Wen Xiuheng’s rut symptoms and his current headache.

Shen Jiayu frowned slightly, his eyes filled with concern. A few days ago when he had fainted from a fever, Mr. Wen had taken special care of him. Now that Mr. Wen was unwell, it was only right for him to fulfill his duties as a spouse.

Shen Jiayu bit his lip and said softly, “Auntie Cui, let me take the medicine to Mr. Wen.”

Auntie Cui was surprised and then a bit hesitant. After all, the Young Master was currently in an S-rank Alpha rut state. However… Shen Jiayu was a Beta just like her, he shouldn’t be affected physically. Moreover, the two were in a political marriage.

Auntie Cui handed the medicine to Shen Jiayu. He walked to the door of Wen Xiuheng’s room, freed one hand, and knocked: “Mr. Wen, I’ve brought your medicine. May I come in?”

There was no response.

Shen Jiayu tilted his head to listen. The room seemed silent, he couldn’t hear a thing.

Shen Jiayu knocked again: “Mr. Wen?”

After a moment, a deep voice finally came from inside: “Come in.”

Shen Jiayu carefully pushed the door open and walked in.

This was his first time in Wen Xiuheng’s room. The vast space was unlit and shrouded in darkness, though the minimalist, cold decor was faintly visible. The only light source was the cold moon hanging high outside the window.

The Alpha was leaning back in a chair with his legs crossed, sitting by the floor to ceiling window. The cold moonlight spilled over him, and the expensive watch on the man’s wrist reflected a chilly, brilliant glint.

Hearing someone enter, Wen Xiuheng turned his head. Only then did Shen Jiayu see what the Alpha looked like at this moment.

Half of Wen Xiuheng’s body was cast in shadow. His black hair, usually meticulously styled, was slightly messy with a few strands falling over his forehead. The icy moonlight outlined the sharp contours of his face, making his handsome features look even more three dimensional and profound. Below his superior jawline were the prominent lines of the man’s Adam’s apple.

And in the shadows, those silver-grey eyes, like frozen ice, were fixed intently on him.

Suddenly, an instinct carved into his genes made Shen Jiayu freeze in his tracks. He felt an aura, similar to a raging blizzard, envelop him, causing a flicker of fear to rise from the depths of his heart.

Shen Jiayu stood dazed on the spot and murmured, “Mr. Wen…”

“Come here.”

The low, magnetic voice echoed in the empty room. Those silver-grey eyes remained fixed on him.

For a split second, Shen Jiayu had the illusion that he had become a kind of prey. And the person intending to hunt him was the Alpha sitting across from him.

Shen Jiayu opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound.

Biological instinct urged him to flee, but logic told him that the Alpha before him needed help.

Shen Jiayu bit his lip. A voice in his heart told him it was fine, he was just a Beta, so an Alpha’s rut wouldn’t affect him.

After a moment, under the Alpha’s gaze, Shen Jiayu slowly and hesitantly walked over.

The closer he got, the more nervous he felt. The Mr. Wen right now seemed different from his usual self.

Finally, carrying the medicine and water, Shen Jiayu reached Wen Xiuheng.

Wen Xiuheng’s gaze followed him the entire way. When Shen Jiayu finally stood close, Wen Xiuheng slightly raised his eyes.

Shen Jiayu didn’t quite dare to look into his eyes, so he said softly, “Mr. Wen, your medicine…”

“Mm,” the Alpha replied hoarsely, shifting his body slightly.

Shen Jiayu thought he was reaching out to take the medicine and water, so he held the tray forward.

Suddenly, a powerful arm abruptly hooked around his waist, pulling his entire person toward him!

“Ugh!” Shen Jiayu let out a startled cry as his slender, petite body was easily forced a step forward. The water glass clinked against the tray with a crisp sound, nearly spilling.

Before Shen Jiayu could react, a tall, immensely oppressive shadow completely loomed over him. Wen Xiuheng had stood up at some point and was leaning down toward him.

Shen Jiayu’s eyes widened suddenly, and his breath hitched. He didn’t dare turn his head to look at the other man, because every sense in his body was screaming that the Alpha was leaning in close to his ear and the back of his neck.
