Chapter 52
“With your compatibility, A-Yan can’t possibly not get pregnant this time.”
“What does our Mr. Pei plan to do? Are you already prepared to be a father?”
Li Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow teasingly, her arms crossed as she waited for Pei Tingyu’s answer.
Pei Tingyu stood up from the examination table, slowly buttoning his shirt. He lifted his eyelids and glanced at her coolly. “Yanyan won’t get pregnant.”
“How is that possible? A complete marking means you can’t use condoms!”
Li Xiaoxiao’s face was full of disbelief. Before she could ask if he really had a hidden ailment, another possibility came to mind.
The righteous Alpha doctor’s anger flared. Her voice suddenly rose as she questioned, “Are you planning to have A-Yan take contraceptive pills? His health is poor. Don’t you know that contraceptive pills have major side effects—”
The rest of her sentence was stuck in her throat, cut off by the man’s dark expression.
For a moment, all the doctors and nurses in the room fell silent, pretending to be busy studying the instruments in their hands.
The concentration of orange blossom pheromones in the examination room instantly exceeded the limit, a sign of the Alpha’s displeasure.
The man’s gaze was cold, his tone heavy. “Dr. Li seems to have a lot of free time. I’m sure you can handle the press conference at the end of the month.”
A thought flashed through Li Xiaoxiao’s mind, and she suddenly understood.
Under the sympathetic gazes of everyone, she nodded stiffly and said with a dry laugh, “As expected of Mr. Pei. With your kind of awareness, you’ll succeed at anything you do, haha. This is the kind of magnanimity we Alphas should have, hahaha.”
Shut up, you stupid mouth.
Pei Tingyu smoothed the wrinkles on his suit jacket and strode out with a cold face.
Li Xiaoxiao tutted in annoyance and gave herself a light smack on the head.
See, can’t control your mouth. Well, now you’ve done it. You’ll be busy for a while.
Outside the examination room
Hearing the door open, Bai Yan, who had been pacing back and forth, silently counting in his head, immediately looked up and trotted toward Pei Tingyu.
“Xian sheng, how were the test results?” His gaze swept over the Alpha.
Only after confirming that the man’s face was only slightly pale, and that everything else was the same as before he went in, did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
“Not bad.” A gentle smile appeared in Pei Tingyu’s eyes. He took the young man’s hand and nuzzled it against his cool face.
The faint scent of jasmine emerged with the intimate contact. His sense of smell, briefly blocked by the medication, reawakened. The man let out a sudden sigh, letting the sweet scent soothe his overly fervent and anxious nerves.
The coldness in the Alpha’s eyes completely disappeared. When Bai Yan looked up, he saw only the same gentle serenity as before.
Even with the ferocious and terrifying bite inhibitor still on his face, he was still noble and calm.
The man lowered his head slightly, allowing Bai Yan to remove his bite inhibitor.
With a drip, the metal detector of the bite inhibitor detected the correct fingerprint, and the two buckles on the sides quickly separated, falling with a clatter into the young man’s palm.
Pei Tingyu let out an almost inaudible hiss, his brow relaxing as he pressed his palm against his stiff jaw and neck.
No Alpha liked wearing a bite inhibitor. This thing, whether in its symbolic meaning or its practical effect, was definitely not comfortable.
The bite inhibitor in his palm was cool to the touch. Bai Yan unconsciously rubbed the metal frame, his heart aching.
He frowned and suggested in a small voice, “Why don’t we skip Huixin today? I’ll go back to Yǎyuán with you to rest first.”
“What’s this?” The Alpha smiled nonchalantly, took Bai Yan’s hand, and tickled his palm with his fingertips.
“When the Pei Corporation was just starting out, I would run to four or five places a day, and that was considered a little. Don’t doubt your husband’s stamina, okay?”
Pei Tingyu: “Besides, today is a big day for Huixin. I want to go with Yanyan too. Is that okay?”
He reached out his other hand, his fingertips gently sliding over the Omega’s snow-white brow, slowly smoothing his furrowed brow.
“Alright.” Conquered by the Alpha’s good looks, Bai Yan’s face grew hot, and he was the first to back down. But he still stubbornly lifted his head.
His moist eyes were filled with unconcealed concern as he looked straight at him, his voice soft but firm as he added, “Then if you feel unwell, you must tell me.”
“Otherwise, I’ll worry.”
Even though his words were serious, the upward lilt at the end of his voice sounded like he was acting coquettishly, like a soft feather, easily creating ripples in Pei Tingyu’s heart.
“Alright, alright.” A smile touched the man’s lips. He took the young man’s hand and gave it a light kiss. “Then can we set off now?”
Bai Yan blushed and nodded. “Mm.”
The two of them, hand in hand, walked toward the bright hospital entrance.
If Qin Chudong or Li Xiaoxiao had seen Pei Tingyu’s expression, they would have been horrified and exclaimed, “Where did this demon come from? Get out of my asexual friend/Mr. Pei’s body!”
Unfortunately, only a passing nurse witnessed the whole process, her eyes shining with envy.
What nonsense that real wealthy families only have fake feelings and no fairy tales. The media should really see this. Mr. Pei and his lover are so sweet!
She could barely contain her excitement and looked around, wanting to share with her good sisters.
Unfortunately, everyone was at their posts, and only a new-faced janitor passed by with a utility cart.
But it’s not cleaning time now?
The nurse quickly went up and asked, puzzled, “Which department are you in charge of? The research institute is having a meeting this afternoon. It’s not time yet.”
The janitor she was questioning stiffened, lowered his head, and pulled his hat down, saying in a hoarse voice, “I’m new. I’m not clear about the shift times. I’ll go now, I’ll go now.”
The nurse said “oh” and didn’t think much of it, kindly reminding him, “Then you should go back to the duty room to rest. If the patrol leader finds you, you’ll be docked pay.”
“Mm-hmm.” The janitor was stiff, his neck shrunk, and he awkwardly hid behind the utility cart.
Only after the nurse had walked away did he take off his mask, bend over, and wipe the sweat from his face.
The face under the mask was none other than Shen Hui, the general manager of Tenghui Pharmaceuticals!
His face was colorless, his eyes sunken, and his eyeballs were covered in red veins. Who knew how many nights he had gone without rest?
But he still glared at the direction Pei Tingyu had left, his eyes blazing with hatred.
The last trace of orange blossom pheromones in the air, under the effect of the scent-blocker, had completely disappeared.
But he felt as if he could still feel the Alpha’s pressure. His shoulders trembled, and his eyes were filled with an impenetrable, intense hatred.
Tenghui Pharmaceuticals, his life’s work! How much effort had it taken to get to this point!
Just because some of his employees weren’t clean and had accidentally killed a few Omega test subjects while handling the drugs.
But the lives of the powerless were nothing. He had paid them off handsomely, and those people couldn’t thank him enough.
It was just a small mistake, but the AO Matching System had latched onto it, saying he had violated the Omega equality regulations and had shut down all his factories!
The company went bankrupt. He hadn’t been able to sleep at night these past few days. He had gone to great lengths, begging everyone he could, and had finally found the reason.
Pei Tingyu!
The man gritted his teeth in hatred, his hands clenching into fists, his knuckles cracking.
Just because his brother had messed with his lover, he had to completely destroy his company!
Hah, what’s an S-class Alpha? The man patted the thing in his pocket like a treasure, a hint of madness in his eyes.
Since you’re so ruthless, don’t blame me for being unrighteous.
This time, you’ll all be on your knees begging me, hahaha!
Shen Hui was immersed in his fantasy, the smile on his face growing more and more bizarre. Passersby all looked at him as if he were a madman.
The tall and burly head of the cleaning team, on his patrol, saw Shen Hui frozen against the wall and rushed up to give him a good scolding.
“Which area are you in charge of cleaning? Don’t you have a schedule? What are you still doing here!”
“Yes, yes, I’ll go now.” Shen Hui glared at him resentfully, put his mask back on, and walked away discreetly.
Huixin Orphanage
A red carpet was laid on the concrete ground, covering the uneven, pitted surface.
The red carpet was densely scattered with small plastic stools. Against the wall, a temporary stage had been set up.
A huge poster was pasted on the back, which read “Warmly Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Founding of Huixin Orphanage.”
Because the orphanage’s new campus was still under intense renovation, today’s celebration was still held at the old campus.
Some media and sponsors who were on good terms with Huixin had come today. Pei Tingyu, as the biggest sponsor, had been temporarily invited by the director to give a speech on stage.
Even though he hadn’t been notified in advance, the Alpha’s expression was calm. He stood in front of the lectern, which was barely decorated with a few bouquets of flowers, and spoke in an unhurried, composed manner.
Considering the guests present, his speech was not obscure or complicated. Besides the misbehaving children in the back row, he easily attracted the attention of the entire audience.
The children of the orphanage had woken up very early today. They had been obediently dressed up by the teachers and aunties, looking neat and clean.
They had put on new cotton clothes, their hair was neatly combed, and they had baby cream on their cheeks, so they would no longer be red from the wind.
At this moment, even if they didn’t quite understand, they were all sitting neatly on the plastic stools.
Even the most mischievous child didn’t cry or make a fuss. Occasionally, when they felt uncomfortable, they would just wiggle on their stools and obediently keep their mouths shut.
Because the director had said that there would be cake today, a super big cake, and every well-behaved child would get a big piece!
Bai Yan quietly watched the Alpha on the stage, who could easily attract the attention of the entire audience, his eyes filled with unconcealed pride and a smile.
My husband seems to be shining.
Lin Yu glanced at the Alpha above and said teasingly, “I should really get a mirror for you. You’ve practically written ‘I love him’ on your face.”
“It’s not that bad, is it? Is it really that obvious?” The young man lowered his head in embarrassment and touched his hot face.
The child beside him blinked, looked at the uncle speaking on the stage, and then at Brother Bai Yan in front of him.
He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Brother Bai Yan, do you know the uncle up there? What’s your relationship with him?”
Bai Yan’s eyes curved into a crescent moon shape, and he explained softly in his cottony voice, “He is Brother Bai Yan’s… lover.”
