The Sickly Beauty Beta Got Pregnant After A Political Marriage - Chapter 7

Shen Jiayu looked at him in a bit of a daze. So, was this what Mr. Wen meant by the “see you tomorrow” in yesterday’s text message? He had been invited as a guest for the opening ceremony, which is why they would meet here.

On stage, the principal cleared his throat and began his speech: “Students of the Academy of Fine Arts, welcome to the opening ceremony for the new semester.”

After a brief opening, the principal began introducing Wen Xiuheng, who was sitting beside him.

“For today’s ceremony, we have invited a very important guest. He is the President of the Wen Group, Mr. Wen Xiuheng.”

Thundering applause and gasps of surprise erupted from the audience. There wasn’t a soul who hadn’t heard of the Wen Group, a prestigious and powerful family famous throughout the capital and the entire country. Moreover, Wen Xiuheng was notoriously difficult to invite, no one knew how the school had managed to secure such a titan. Only the students who had followed the news speculated whether it was because his recently wedded Beta partner studied here, prompting him to grant the school such immense “face.”

The principal continued: “We are deeply grateful to Mr. Wen for attending this ceremony and for donating the funds to construct two new teaching buildings for our Academy.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd fell into a state of shocked clamor. Just how massive was this donation? This was beyond wealthy, it was legendary!

Sitting next to Shen Jiayu, Yin Youning was so startled he choked on his own saliva. On the other side, Qin Yu was also speechless with shock. Although his family was considered upper class, they wouldn’t dare lightly promise the donation of two entire buildings. The Wen family truly couldn’t be classified simply as “upper class”, they were at the very peak.

In the aisle to the right of the stage, Zhou Yi stood at the front, searching through the sea of shocked faces for a familiar figure.

He was, of course, looking for Shen Jiayu, the only person who could make his boss rush straight from the airport to an opening ceremony after an international flight and donate two buildings with a wave of his hand.

Zhou Yi had only seen photos of Shen Jiayu while organizing the Shen family’s files, but he had never met him in person. He was dying of curiosity to see what the boss’s partner looked like.

Besides, Zhou Yi shook his head inwardly, finding Shen Jiayu was simple, he just had to follow the boss’s gaze. Tsk, tsk. Since the moment he sat down, his boss’s eyes hadn’t strayed from one spot for even a second.

Following Wen Xiuheng’s line of sight, Zhou Yi quickly found Shen Jiayu.

The moment Zhou Yi saw him, he was stunned.

He’s way too beautiful!!! The real person was even more stunning than the photos. He was so beautiful he didn’t seem real, like a little rosebud waiting to bloom. Even as a Beta, he was enough to completely overshadow every Omega!

No wonder the boss couldn’t even wait for the young master to finish school and rushed here to see him the moment he landed!

While Zhou Yi’s face remained professional, he was screaming internally.

As expected of the young master of the Shen family, his appearance was simply too prominent in a crowd.

In Zhou Yi’s eyes, Shen Jiayu was also looking back at Wen Xiuheng from across the distance.

The two stared at each other through the crowd.

Zhou Yi couldn’t help but shake his head silently. You two, are you filming an idol drama right now?

Fortunately, it was Wen Xiuheng’s turn to speak. The Alpha shifted his gaze forward, and Shen Jiayu, blushing slightly, looked away.

Mr. Wen really had been watching him for a long time.

Yin Youning took the opportunity to lean toward Shen Jiayu’s ear, whispering at a volume others couldn’t hear, “Little Jiayu, your husband seemed to be staring at you the whole time.”

The word “husband” made Shen Jiayu shy again, and he hurriedly lowered his head in fluster.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Yu leaned in to ask what they were talking about.

Yin Youning was about to say it was nothing when he suddenly felt a cold gaze sweep over him.

Yin Youning turned his head and saw that Wen Xiuheng was indeed looking toward them again. That icy stare was slowly landing right on him.

Yin Youning: ??

Could Wen Xiuheng think I have bad intentions toward little Jiayu? He and Jiayu are best friends! And he knew Jiayu first!

On stage, Wen Xiuheng’s speech continued. His words were concise and professional, without a hint of wasted breath. The Alpha’s voice was deep and magnetic, leaving many Omega students in the audience mesmerized.

Shen Jiayu calmed his racing heart and gradually focused on the speech, listening intently.

After Wen Xiuheng finished, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. When it was time for other professors to speak, Shen Jiayu continued to listen carefully.

Suddenly, a sharp, excruciating pain shot through his heart. In an instant, Shen Jiayu’s expression changed.

His delicate face turned pale, and the color drained from his lips. The sudden, intense agony made his vision go dark.

It hurts so much. It feels like a knife being driven in.

Biting his lip, Shen Jiayu frantically reached into his jacket pocket for his medicine. However, as his trembling fingers searched the pocket, he realized the medicine that should have been there was gone!

Could it be… that it fell out when I was bumped into on the way here?

Shen Jiayu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The violent pain in his heart caused him to arch his back and bow his head, clutching his chest with both hands.

“Ugh!” A pained sound escaped him.

Yin Youning quickly noticed his condition and cried out in panic, “Little Jiayu, what’s wrong?!”

Qin Yu also realized something was wrong and began calling his name. Shen Jiayu opened his mouth, but a piercing ringing sound filled his ears.

He felt every ounce of strength in his body draining away along with the agony. He couldn’t hold on any longer. His vision blacked out again, and his body slumped directly off the seat.

At the same time, he heard the frantic shouts of Yin Youning and Qin Yu, along with a collective gasp of shock from the entire venue.

Shen Jiayu thought he would crash into the cold, hard back of the row in front of him. However, in the next second, a firm and warm embrace caught him.

Shen Jiayu looked up to see Wen Xiuheng, who had somehow rushed down from the stage to pull him into his arms. He had moved so fast that no one had time to react.

“Mr. Wen…” Shen Jiayu struggled to call out. The corners of his eyes reddened instantly, and tears fell uncontrollably from the pain.

His slender, pale fingers weakly gripped the Alpha’s sleeve. Tucked in his arms, feeling aggrieved and terrified, Shen Jiayu sobbed intermittently in a small voice: “Ooh… Mr. Wen… my heart hurts so much…”
