Wife, Are You an Alpha Pretending to be an Omega? - Chapter 21

Under Xie Jingyu’s meticulous care, it took a full week before Wei Xia was completely recovered.

Wei Xia still seemed to have lingering hesitations, but he did not dare to avoid the issue any longer. Instead, he took the initiative to suggest seeing a doctor.

If they proceeded with a lifetime marking, there was an extremely high probability of pregnancy, and Wei Xia was deeply worried about Xie Jingyu’s body.

He wanted to give Jingyu a chance to back out on his own, but to his surprise, Xie Jingyu packed his things the very next day and took Wei Xia straight to the hospital.

Wei Xia was at a loss for words.

He looked at his lover with a heart full of tenderness, yet the other party did not hesitate in the slightest.

After completing his examination, Xie Jingyu paced back and forth unnaturally, deliberately avoiding Wei Xia’s gaze.

In truth, it was not that he was entirely unafraid. Rather, he worried that if he showed even a single shred of hesitation, it would cause Wei Xia to overthink and feel insecure.

Therefore, he forced himself to hold strong, remaining firm and proactive throughout the medical consultation.

When the results came out, they confirmed that he was capable of conceiving.

Wei Xia’s heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Xie Jingyu, however, breathed a sigh of relief.

He could choose not to give birth, but he could not bear the thought of being physically unable to.

If it were a child belonging to him and Wei Xia, the baby would undoubtedly be very beautiful and highly intelligent. He had envisioned this scenario countless times in his mind, so gradually, his resistance faded away.

Simply put, he had successfully rationalized it to himself.

If other Omegas could give birth, then so could he. Could he, Xie Jingyu, possibly be inferior to anyone else?

“Jingyu, how about we just forget it?”

Before Wei Xia could finish his sentence, Xie Jingyu glared at him fiercely, forcing the words back down his throat.

The doctor spoke up, “However, if you wish to prepare for pregnancy, there is still one thing you must pay attention to.”

Wei Xia asked hurriedly, “What is it?”

The doctor replied, “Locating the reproductive cavity.”

Xie Jingyu and Wei Xia both fell silent.

After a prolonged silence, the doctor raised his eyes, glancing at the two who stood as rigid as wax statues. He then lowered his head to feign ignorance, continuing in a perfectly solemn tone:

“Due to the delayed development of your gland, the growth of the reproductive cavity may also be restricted. This is precisely why you cannot sense it, as the organ is currently non-essential to you, meaning it is hidden too deeply. There is no other solution for this. As the Alpha husband, you must look for it carefully, be patient, and try multiple times. Of course, length and penetration depth are also contributing factors.”

Wei Xia’s face exploded into a bright crimson, cutting the doctor off instantly.

“Doctor, I understand!”

Seeing that he had said all that needed to be said, the doctor did not bother to elaborate further. He waved his hand, “Alright, you may go back now.”

“Also, your intimate relations can be a bit more frequent. The pheromones on both of your bodies are far too faint.”

Xie Jingyu and Wei Xia left even faster after that.

Over the next two months, Wei Xia went to his university, stated that he was preparing for a family pregnancy, and turned down his teaching duties. Returning home to assume the role of a dedicated househusband, he brewed various kinds of nourishing herbal tonics every day. This was not only to prepare for a pregnancy, but even more so to nurse Jingyu’s body back to peak health.

Sitting in the meeting room, Xie Jingyu experienced his third nosebleed of the month.

He went home to provoke his husband, “Wei Xia, why are you being so overly cautious and hesitant now?”

Wei Xia remained silent.

“Jingyu, I am afraid of hurting you.”

In the next second, his lips were blocked by Xie Jingyu. A flush of deep embarrassment erupted across the man’s face, as if he were at the end of his patience, “I said it won’t hurt, so it won’t hurt.”

He had originally thought Wei Xia was a refined gentleman, but he had never expected that was not the case at all. It was already the early hours of the morning, and though Xie Jingyu’s eyes were brimming with tears, they still had not succeeded. He wanted to suggest trying again next time, but Wei Xia seemed to have suddenly gone deaf.

The beautiful Alpha knew exactly how to exude his charm to the greatest extent. With moist, pitiful eyes, he coaxed the lover beneath him, “Baby…”

“This time I will look toward the left. Thank you for your hard work, baby. Jingyu, we will have a baby, Jingyu.”

Xie Jingyu desperately wanted to slap him, but this time his resistance proved futile.

Wei Xia was not deterred by the swatting hand at all. Instead, he leaned down to deeply bite the flesh of his palm before attacking his gland once more.

The moment the canine teeth sank into the gland, Xie Jingyu’s pupils dilated, overwhelmed by intense sensations inside and out.

“It is right here, I found it, Jingyu.” Covered in sweat, Wei Xia hesitated, seemingly waiting for Xie Jingyu’s final confirmation.

What if Jingyu really became pregnant in the future? Could he endure the pain of childbirth? What if he regretted it? His own pheromones would completely modify the gland beneath his teeth, and it would never restore to how it used to be.

He was enduring it with great difficulty, but it was still not too late for Jingyu to change his mind.

Xie Jingyu was being driven to the brink of collapse by the torment. At such a critical juncture, Wei Xia was actually still hesitating.

“You… ah!”

As an Omega, this part of Xie Jingyu was underdeveloped and fragile. Tears shimmered at the corners of his eyes, blurring his vision completely.

It felt as though a blade was splitting open an inexperienced Omega. The pain, accompanied by a violent tremor, caused his vision to turn white momentarily.

An expression of agonizing pain appeared on his habitually calm face. He had never experienced this level of pain before, even though he had always considered himself someone with a high tolerance for pain.

Yet a lifetime marking was entirely different.

In medical theory, this was an unavoidable hurdle that an Omega must experience in their lifetime, branding the partner’s imprint into their bloodstream and genes, an imprint that could never be erased for the rest of their life.

In his daze, he felt as though he were witnessing the colors of destruction. Would he die? Even so, he did not regret it. He had chosen Xiao Xia. Even if the price was destruction, death, and fading away, he still would not regret it.

Wei Xia was not comfortable either. Simply holding back under the immense, crushing pressure coming from all sides made his forehead throb with pain, let alone completing the mark.

Jingyu would not be able to bear it.

“Jingyu, let’s not…”

He made a move to back out.

Xie Jingyu dug his fingernails deep into Wei Xia’s flesh, his eyes fiercely red with stubborn determination as he glared at him.

“Wei Xia… do you dare?”

Wei Xia closed his eyes, and a tear rolled down, landing in the same spot as his lover’s tears. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to him.

“Jingyu, thank you for your hard work…”

“And, I will love you forever…”

Then came the powerful movements of intimacy. Once an Alpha chose to form a knot, it could not be interrupted. Fearing that his partner would not be able to take it, Wei Xia first worked diligently to open up the territory, and then completely initiated the lifetime marking.

The knotting and swelling began.

This process was both lengthy and arduous.

By the end of it, Xie Jingyu had completely lost consciousness. Pushed to the absolute limit of pain, his body’s instinctive defense mechanism made him reject the invading foreign object, but he simply could not break free. Consequently, he resorted to biting, scratching, and clawing.

Not a single patch of Wei Xia’s skin was left unmarred, yet he did not utter a single word of complaint.

It was not until the first pale light of dawn appeared in the sky that the entire process finally came to an end.

Xie Jingyu had already fainted from sheer exhaustion, his cheeks slightly swollen from being soaked in tears. Wei Xia let out a heavy sigh of relief, fetched a towel, and gently wiped his lover’s face.

His own back was entirely covered in bloody scratches, contrasting sharply with his handsome face. He took a deep breath, his expression revealing a sense of weary satisfaction.

At this moment, the room was filled with a thick aroma of wine. Even though this fragrance was distinctly the scent of white wine, it permeated every corner, thoroughly blended with the scent of jasmine. The two intertwined, sublimating and rising together.

From this day forward, the scent of jasmine and the aroma of white wine were completely fused together, making it impossible to tell one from the other.

It was utterly soul-stirring.
