Chapter 52: Running with the Ball
Ji Xia waited for about half an hour before it was finally his turn to enter the clinic.
After a series of embarrassing questions, the young Omega doctor wrote him a prescription and said, "Just to be on the safe side, do an ultrasound first."
This is why Ji Xia doesn't like coming to the hospital. Even if there is nothing wrong, he has to spend money to do a lot of tests first.
But Mr. Fu was watching him, so he didn't dare to refuse. He had to pay the money and go to the ultrasound room.
The sticky gel was spread on the belly, and the instrument rolled over it slowly. Ji Xia looked at the ceiling boredly, thinking to herself that she would make peach pie for Mr. Fu again after returning home to appease him.
"Okay, wipe it off."
The doctor doing the examination handed Ji Xia a tissue. The machine in front of him made a vibrating sound, and the report was quickly spit out by the printer.
Ji Xia wiped her belly twice and raised her hand to take the doctor's prescription. She heard the doctor say, "It's been over two months and she's healthy. But be careful not to have too much sex recently and eat well and get enough rest. Just go back to the doctor's office and he'll prescribe some medication to maintain your pregnancy. It's nothing serious."
Ji Xia paused, bewildered. "What?"
The doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, you're two months pregnant! You're going to be a father."
Ji Xia's face turned pale, his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the doctor supported him in time.
The doctor asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Ji Xia grabbed his hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Can I have an abortion, baby? I want to have an abortion."
The doctor sensed something was amiss from the Omega's terrified expression. He helped him sit on a bench outside the ultrasound room, poured him a glass of warm water, and said, "According to national law, if an Omega wants to abort a child, she must obtain the signature of the child's father."
Ji Xia's eyelashes trembled. After a long silence, he finally said, "Thank you, doctor."
After the doctor returned to the ultrasound room, Ji Xia sat alone in the aisle, the white walls making his pale face look deathly pale.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, staring blankly at a certain point in the void.
He didn't know why fate always treated him like this.
He finally escaped his destined fate, owned a bakery, and could stay with Mr. Fu. As long as he made enough money and paid off his debts, he could start a relationship with Mr. Fu and have a good life.
But why did it all end just as it was beginning?!
Ji Xia was confused and desperate.
At this time, the phone vibrated again, and Fu Yuan sent a message to inquire about the situation.
Ji Xia stared at the cute rabbit avatar on his phone and the content in the chat box for a long time, but he did not reply. He had promised Mr. Fu that he would not lie again.
He didn't dare tell Mr. Fu that he had crossed Mr. Fu's most untouchable high-voltage line. He and Mr. Fu were finished.
Ji Xia put away his phone and was stunned for a while.
His hand slowly covered his lower abdomen, and after the initial fear and panic subsided, he realized that there was a little life growing in his belly.
His and Mr. Fu's baby.
A bold idea flashed through his mind. He couldn't go back to Mr. Fu, so he could take the baby to a remote seaside town.
From now on, he won't be alone, the baby will be with him,
This idea brought a ray of light into Ji Xia's gloomy future.
He stood up suddenly, crumpled up the test report and stuffed it into his pocket, then quickly walked out of the hospital gate and got on his electric scooter. He immediately took action, heading south, trying to escape Kyoto.
The cold winter wind blew on his face and it hurt, but Ji Xia didn't care.
He was filled with hope and pressed forward, determined to start a new life with his baby. However, fate intervened, and within an hour, he was forced to abandon his escape attempt. His e-scooter ran out of battery.
Ji Xia pushed his electric scooter for a while and found an electric scooter charging area under a dilapidated building in the old city. He sat on the steps of a closed shop across the street and stared blankly, not daring to look at his phone.
There were no street lights downstairs of the old and dilapidated building, and it was pitch black, with only sporadic lights coming from a convenience store at the end of the community.
Ji Xia sat for a while, then felt hungry and wanted to get up to buy something to eat. As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and his abdomen began to ache again.
Ji Xia clutched his stomach, a wave of fear gripping his throat. He felt a panic and fear he had never felt before. What if something happened to the baby?
At this moment, the phone vibrated again.
Ji Xia was so busy that he answered the call directly without checking the caller ID.
"Master Ji, why haven't you gone home yet? Do you need me to pick you up?" The kind voice of Butler Xu came from the other end of the phone.
Ji Xia's eyes widened slightly, and she opened her mouth but no sound came out. Butler Xu on the other end of the phone was waiting patiently.
After a moment, he slowly said, "Grandpa Xu... I don't know what to do now. My stomach hurts a little again. Grandpa Xu, what should I do?"
Butler Xu's voice was noticeably tense. "Master Ji, where are you now? What happened?"
Ji Xia said, "Could you please not tell Mr. Fu?"
Butler Xu made a promise for the first time. "I won't tell him."
Ji Xia sniffed, calmed herself down, and said, "Grandpa Xu, I didn't. I really didn't have any bad intentions. I don't know why, but I got the baby. I knew Mr. Fu would be very angry and didn't want the baby. So I planned to leave Kyoto, but my stomach hurts again. I don't know what to do. Grandpa Xu, what should I do?"
Butler Xu said calmly, "Master Ji, please don't worry. Tell me where you are."
Ji Xia sent the location to Butler Xu.
Butler Xu asked him to wait and he would be there soon.
Ji Xia curled up beside the square pillar. Fortunately, the pain in her abdomen soon subsided, which made Ji Xia feel relieved.
I don't know how long I waited, but I heard a chaotic sound of footsteps on the small road connected to the outer street, but it soon stopped. Then there was only a pair of urgent footsteps approaching here quickly.
Ji Xia thought it was Butler Xu who came, so he stood up with difficulty and waited.
The footsteps stopped abruptly. When Ji Xia saw the person appearing at the intersection, his already pale face suddenly lost all color and his body began to tremble.
He wanted to run away quickly, but his legs were out of control and he couldn't move.
In the dim light, a tall figure in a black suit stood at the intersection.
The man had handsome features, and the shadows accentuated his outline, making him look even more handsome. However, this handsomeness was tinged with hostility and sinisterness, giving people a sense of extreme danger.
Fu Yuan stared at the Omega with a gloomy look, his eyes filled with anger, and walked towards him step by step.
Ji Xia's body was shaking like a sieve, and he begged in a trembling voice: "Mr. Fu, I promise, I promise to leave Jingdu and never come back in this life. Please let me go."
Fu Yuan stopped in front of him, his expression becoming even uglier.
He asked coldly, "Why do you lie to me again and again?"
Ji Xia leaned against the porch pillar and shook her head desperately. "No, I didn't lie to Mr. Fu again."
Fu Yuan approached him and asked, "How did that child come here?"
The Alpha's cold and oppressive feeling made Ji Xia breathless. He felt sad and a little wronged. "I don't know. I really don't have any bad intentions. Mr. Fu, I really don't."
Fu Yuan pinched his chin and lifted him up, staring into his eyes for a long time, and asked, "Then why did you run?"
Ji Xia bit her lower lip and said in a trembling voice, "You will be angry."
Fu Yuan's eyes darkened. He said, "I am indeed very angry now."
Ji Xia gently tugged at the corner of Alpha's clothes and begged, "Mr. Fu, I'm sorry. I will leave, I will go far away, and I will never make you angry again."
Fu Yuan sneered, which was particularly creepy.
He swept Ji Xia's hand away, his voice cold enough to freeze, and said, "You want to leave me? Dream on!"
Ji Xia had always only dared to gently tug at Mr. Fu's clothes, hoping that he would agree to his small requests. Mr. Fu agreed several times, which made him secretly happy.
But at this moment, his hands were empty, and so was his heart. A panic-stricken feeling of falling swept over him. Ji Xia didn't understand what it was, but he didn't have time to care.
He bit the tip of his tongue hard, using the pain to calm himself down, and asked, "Mr. Fu, what do you want?"
Fu Yuan said in a cold and unquestionable voice, "Abort the child."
Ji Xia began to struggle, trying to free himself from Alpha's grip on his chin. "No, Mr. Fu, please. I promise I will never appear before you again in my lifetime. Please don't abort the baby."
The Omega's struggle angered him, and Fu Yuan's expression darkened. He slid his hand down and grabbed the Omega's neck. "I told you from the beginning, I don't want children."
Ji Xia was a little out of breath and tried to explain: "The baby was an accident, Mr. Fu. I really didn't think there would be a baby."
Fu Yuan: "Then come back with me and kill him."
Ji Xia shook her head. "But I want a baby."
Fu Yuan was furious and tightened his grip even more.
Ji Xia felt as if a knife had stabbed his chest, the pain making it hard for him to breathe. The Alpha's eyes were so fierce that he was terrified.
Only then did he realize that someone like him could not fight against Mr. Fu at all.
He can't protect the baby at all.
Ji Xia's struggling body suddenly lost its strength, his arms slid down as if they had been severed. He closed his eyes, no longer fighting fearlessly.
In that case, let Mr. Fu strangle him to death.
Anyway, he was going to die anyway.
The sound insulation in this old and dilapidated house is very poor. You can hear voices and the clatter of dishes coming from inside the building.
A light came on in a room on the first floor, and the light shone through the window onto the Omega's pale face. The weak Omega's eyelashes trembled like broken butterfly wings.
He was crying silently, desperate and sad.
Fu Yuan loosened his grip a little, and his voice wasn't as cold as before.
He said, "Abort the baby, and I won't be angry anymore. You can still stay with me."
Ji Xia pursed her lips and said nothing, just shook her head.
Fu Yuan turned cold again. "Do you really want a child? I told you, the paternity-based-son relationship doesn't work with me. Even if you have a child, you won't get anything."
Ji Xia raised her eyelashes slightly and looked at Alpha sadly.
He wanted to say, "I want the baby because it's Mr. Fu's and mine," but he remembered that he was unworthy and closed his eyes again.
Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell silently to the ground.
The Omega's silence caused the storm in Fu Yuan's eyes, which had calmed down a bit, to rage again. He suppressed his anger and said, "Don't expect anything, kid. I will compensate you."
Ji Xia did not answer, but just closed her eyes quietly.
Fu Yuan released the hand that was pinching the Omega, and said in a gentler voice, "Be good."
Ji Xia seized the moment when Alpha relaxed, turned around and ran towards another exit.
He knew very well that he couldn't escape, and that doing so would only anger Mr. Fu even more. But at this moment, he didn't want to be so obedient at all. He wanted to make Mr. Fu angry and have him thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
"Ji Xia!"
Fu Yuan's voice suddenly turned as cold as -20 degrees Celsius. It would have been easy for him to catch the person back, but when he saw the Omega running away from him in panic, he hesitated.
Ji Xia felt a pain in his abdomen, but he ignored it and ran out desperately.
From childhood to adulthood, Ji Xia has had countless times when he tried desperately to run outside. His life was a quagmire, and he had to work very hard to break free and survive.
It was not until she met Mr. Fu that Ji Xia realized that she could eat several dishes in one meal and sleep on such a soft bed.
Riding a private jet, soaking in hot springs, watching the stars on the island... Mr. Fu is his god.
But he was too greedy.
But he really wanted a baby.
If he can't protect the baby, then let him leave this world with the baby. He wants to be with the baby.
"Xia Xia!"
Two figures suddenly appeared at the end of the road, but the light was too dim to see who they were.
But Ji Xia recognized the voice, it was his grandfather.
The Alpha behind him seemed to have just reacted and caught up. Ji Xia's mind was blank and he couldn't think at all. He just ran towards Jiang Yishao with all his strength. Jiang Yishao also rushed towards him quickly.
Fu Yuan saw that the situation was not good and was about to reach out and grab someone.
But Butler Xu blocked him, and Jiang Yishao took the opportunity to quickly reach out and pull the Omega into his arms.
Ji Xia's face turned pale and he was breathing heavily.
He leaned in Jiang Yishao's arms, grabbed Little Grandpa's sleeve, and said with a gasp, "Little Grandpa, I don't want to abort the baby."
Jiang Yishao patted his back, wiped his tears, and said, "No, no, no. With little grandpa here, I will make sure you give birth to the baby safely."
Ji Xia's big eyes were filled with tears again, but she held back and didn't let them fall.
Fu Yuan exchanged a few moves with Butler Xu, forcing him back a few steps. He said coldly, "Uncle Xu, you are no match for me. Back off."
Butler Xu refused to give in: "Young Master has long surpassed me. I can only fight with all my might."
Fu Yuan didn't want to waste time fighting him. He looked at Ji Xia and said in a commanding tone, "Come here."
Ji Xia leaned on Jiang Yishao, his thin body trembled, but he didn't move. He shook his head slightly to express his refusal.
Fu Yuan's voice was extremely cold. "Do you think they can protect you?! Ji Xia, I'm giving you one last chance. Come here immediately."
Ji Xia's face was covered with tears and he felt severe pain in his abdomen. He shook his head again, this time with a larger arc, showing his firm determination.
Fu Yuan gritted his teeth and said "OK".
He turned to Jiang Yishao and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to fight with you. Give him back to me."
Jiang Yishao said: "A Yuan, you can't be so overbearing. Xia Xia has the right to make her choice."
Fu Yuan: "I just bought him..."
"A Yuan!"
Jiang Yishao interrupted him: "Don't do something irreparable when you are angry, and don't say something unpleasant. This will only hurt Xia Xia and make you regret it later."
Fu Yuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Don't worry, little grandpa, I will never regret it."
Ji Xia tugged at Jiang Yishao's hand, her voice weak. "Grandpa, could you lend me 500,000 yuan first? I'll definitely pay you back later."
Jiang Yishao said: "Of course."
Ji Xia's face was pale. She glanced at Alpha and then quickly looked away. She said, "Mr. Fu, we signed a contract. I'll pay you 500,000 yuan, and you let me leave."
Fu Yuan's jawline was extremely tense, and anger swept over him again. "You want to leave me so much?"
Ji Xia's body trembled slightly and he didn't answer.
Fu Yuan sneered, "Ji Xia, I warned you not to cross my high-voltage wire. I won't let you go unless you abort the baby in your belly. Today, my grandfather is protecting you, so I can't touch you. But I will definitely make you come back and beg me!"
After saying those harsh words, Fu Yuan turned around and left without any hesitation or lingering feelings.
Only then did Ji Xia dare to look at Alpha, and her gaze followed him closely until the man's back disappeared at the intersection.
Ji Xia felt sick physically, and even more so mentally. His heart felt like it had been ripped open, a gaping hole blasting cold air. He knew that if he and Mr. Fu met again, the scene would be a thousand times more terrifying than it was now.
However, he does not regret his decision.
After the intense emotions slowly subsided, Ji Xia's vision went dark.
Jiang Yishao's face was solemn. He knew his grandson too well. He knew that he could do what he said. With Fu Yuan's current control, neither he nor Fu Xuan was his match.
We need help!
While he was thinking, his sleeve was suddenly pulled gently.
He lowered his head and saw Ji Xia's face, which was as pale as paper.
"Grandpa, my stomach... hurts..."
Ji Xia finished his words with difficulty, closed his eyes and fainted.
·
Fu Yuan returned to the villa with a violent temper.
The villa was very quiet. He went upstairs and opened the bedroom door.
The bedroom was dark, with no lights on, and only the cool moonlight filtering in through the open window. Everything was neatly tidied, just as it had been for the past twenty years.
Fu Yuan felt irritated. The little thing had only moved in for a few months, but he couldn't stand such quietness and orderliness.
He had messed up the whole room, and only the little gadgets on the nightstand at the other side of the bed remained quietly lying there.
But the anger in my heart did not dissipate at all.
Fu Yuan knew very well that nothing could be solved in this state. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was surging in his chest.
The little thing actually dared to disobey him, he would make him understand what price he would pay for doing so!
Shadows obscured the Alpha's face, making it impossible to discern the emotions in his eyes. However, the pheromones raging in the air betrayed his current sinister nature.
He turned and walked towards the study.
·
When Ji Xia woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room, with a needle stuck in the back of her hand and an IV drip in. The sun was shining brightly outside the open window.
Seeing that he was awake, Chen Xi immediately sat down beside the bed and asked, "What's wrong? Does your stomach still hurt?"
When Ji Xia saw Doctor Chen, she curled her lips and said, "Doctor Chen, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Chen Xi took a pillow and put it behind him, letting him sit up. He said, "The baby is very strong. You can tell at a glance that he must be a top-notch A, just like his Alpha father."
Ji Xia lowered her eyelids slightly without answering. She raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xi knew he had said the wrong thing, so he changed the subject and said, "I'll get you something to eat. After you finish eating, the elders will need to discuss something with you later."
Ji Xia nodded and thanked Dr. Chen.
His appetite was not good and he only drank half a bowl of porridge. Doctor Chen did not force him, but said that he would get better slowly.
Not long after Dr. Chen left with the bowl, there was another knock on Ji Xia's door.
The door was open. Ji Xia, stunned, looked in the direction of the sound and saw the little grandfather. He smiled faintly and called out "little grandfather".
After Jiang Yishao came in, Ji Xia discovered that there were three people behind him, Mr. Fu, Grandma Qiu, and an Alpha he didn't know.
The two Alphas sat down on the sofa in the room. Grandma Qiu sat on the armchair next to Ji Xia's bed, while Young Master Jiang sat directly on the other side of the bed.
Jiang Yishao asked, "Xia Xia, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Ji Xia shook her head and said she didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.
Grandma Qiu took Ji Xia's slightly cold little hand, looked at the bandage wrapped around the Omega's fair neck, and patted the back of his hand with heartache. "Xia Xia, I'm sorry for making you suffer. I apologize to you on behalf of A Yuan."
Only then did Ji Xia realize that Grandma Qiu should be Qiu Qinghe's mother and Mr. Fu's grandmother.
He quickly said, "Grandma Qiu, I was wrong for not keeping my promise to Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu is not wrong, it's me."
Grandma Qiu disagreed, "Silly child, how could you be wrong? When two people have problems together, they should have discussed it carefully. How could you just do it like Yuan did? Wait until he has thought it through, then punish him properly."
This was the second time Ji Xia heard the word "punishment". He didn't understand why they thought he had the ability to punish Mr. Fu.
He was just a poor, powerless, and weak Omega, and Mr. Fu hated him so much that he would only be punished.
But he didn't refute anything, just said: "We are not together. Mr. Fu and I are just..." bed partners, he couldn't say it, and couldn't think of any other words, so he could only purse his lips with red ears.
Jiang Yishao said: "Whether you are together or not, it is a fact that you are pregnant with the children of our Fu family and Qiu family."
He pinched Ji Xia's face and continued, "Whether A Yuan recognizes it or not, we all do! Bao Bao is the only bloodline of the Fu and Qiu families. He will be the sole heir to me, Brother Xuan, and all the Qiu family's assets. The documents for equity transfer and inheritance have been sorted out. Before Bao Bao turns eighteen, you will temporarily take over everything Bao Bao has obtained."
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and Ji Xia widened her eyes in surprise.
Grandma Qiu squeezed his little hand and said, "After Qinghe died, I thought I would never have any contact with the Fu family again. But they did the right thing this time. Qinghe's incident had a great impact on A Yuan, and I didn't know what to do. Thank you, Xia Xia, you changed him."
Ji Xia shook her head and said, "Grandma Qiu, I haven't changed anything. Mr. Fu didn't agree with me having a baby. It's me..."
Jiang Yishao chuckled and said, "Silly Xia Xia, do you think we could have left so smoothly if A Yuan hadn't let us go last night?"
"ah?"
Ji Xia looked at Jiang Yishao a little bewilderedly.
Jiang Yishao said, "Didn't you notice that he didn't use pheromones last night? And he brought over a dozen bodyguards. If he really didn't let you leave, even if Little Grandpa was here last night, he couldn't protect you."
Ji Xia was slightly stunned.
Jiang Yishao pulled Ji Xia's other hand and said earnestly, "Xia Xia, give A Yuan some time to figure out how to get along with you. Of course, when he thinks it through and comes to you to confess and reconcile, you must not forgive him easily and must punish him severely."
Ji Xia thought what the little grandfather said was magical, as if Mr. Fu liked him very much, but Mr. Fu didn't like him.
He whispered, "No. Mr. Fu won't come to me to confess his feelings, nor will he want to reconcile with me."
Jiang Yishao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then Xia Xia, listen to Grandpa. Grandpa has a way to get A Yuan to reconcile with you."
At this time, the unfamiliar Alpha sitting on the sofa coughed lightly and said, "Xia Xia hasn't recovered yet. Sign the agreement quickly and let him have a good rest. We can talk about other things later."
Grandma Qiu said, "Xia Xia, this is your Grandpa Qiu."
Ji Xia called out "Grandpa Qiu" obediently.
Alpha nodded slightly, his face kind.
Several lawyers waiting outside were quickly invited in, and documents were handed to Ji Xia one after another.
Lawyer A: "Mr. Ji, this is the transfer document for Mr. Fu Xuan's 13% stake in the Fu Group, currently valued at 70 billion. Please sign here. Before the heir reaches the age of 18, all dividends from the shares will be transferred to your name."
Lawyer B: "Mr. Ji, here are the transfer documents for Mr. Jiang Yishao's 7% equity in the Fu Group and 10% equity in the Jiang Group. They are currently valued at 60 billion. Please sign here. Also, until the heir reaches the age of 18, all dividends from the shares will be transferred to your name."
Lawyer C: ...
Seeing Ji Xia still in a daze, Jiang Yishao urged, "Hurry up and sign, Xia Xia. These are all for the baby."
"But……"
Ji Xia said: "I want a baby, not for this..."
Grandma Qiu smiled and said, "We know. This is what we want for our baby. We hope that the baby can grow up happily."
Ji Xia finally couldn't resist the elders and spent the whole afternoon signing documents.
After signing the documents, he ate some food, felt tired, and lay down and fell asleep.
But he did not sleep well. In his dream, he instinctively wanted to find his Alpha, but he couldn't find him, so he started crying in his dream.
Jiang Yishao waited for a long time and finally got the scene he wanted. He immediately took out his high-definition camera and filmed Ji Xia. When Ji Xia sobbed and called for Mr. Fu, he even directly put his mouth into Ji Xia's mouth so that the camera could record the sound more clearly.
After finishing the filming, he quietly left the room and sent the video to Fu Yuan.
Mr. Jiang: "I need your pheromones. He sorted out some of his worn clothes. I've sent someone to get them!"
When Fu Yuan received the news, he was convening a meeting with his confidants in the conference room on the top floor of Fu Building. After Qiu joined in, the situation was no longer one-sided, and he was planning to put further pressure on Fu Xuan and Qiu.
Fu Yuan stared at the video for three seconds, then clicked on it with his slender fingers. After seeing the content of the video, the cold-blooded Alpha's face became even gloomier.
Her slender fingers quickly tapped across the screen. "If you know he's suffering, just give him back to me."
Mr. Jiang: If Xia Xia is willing to go with you, I won’t stop her.
Fu Yuan's face was as gloomy as ice, and violent pheromones leaked out uncontrollably.
All the confidants were silent as a mouse, holding their breath, and dared not make any sound under the huge pressure.
After two tense minutes, the armchair was pushed open, and the gloomy Alpha stood up and said, "Take a half-hour break before continuing!"
After saying that, he strode out of the meeting room.
Back in the office lounge, he changed out of his suit and packed the one he hadn't had time to send for dry cleaning yesterday. When Jiang Yishao's men came over, he handed it to him with a cold face.
Afterwards, they returned to the conference room to continue discussing how to put pressure on Ji Xia to make him come back and beg him.
·
In the dream, Ji Xia was sitting on the steps downstairs of a dilapidated residential complex crying. His body shrank and he returned to the appearance when he was only five or six years old.
The sky was pitch black, without a moon or stars. The only light in the complex flickered, making a crackling sound.
The surroundings were very quiet, with only Ji Chengguo's cursing voice coming from upstairs.
Ji Xia was starving, but he didn't dare go home. Ji Chengguo was drunk again and would definitely beat him if he saw him. Zheng Qiufang had gone to work, and the neighbor's grandmother had gone to the city to take care of her grandson, so no one cared about Ji Xia.
Ji Xia curled up into a small ball and sat there crying.
He knew crying was useless, but tears kept falling because he had lost something very important. But Ji Xia couldn't remember what he had lost. He knew it was very important, but he had lost it.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Ji Xia heard footsteps. In the blink of an eye, a pair of leather shoes appeared beside him. He raised his red and swollen eyes and saw Mr. Fu looking down at him.
Ji Xia was happy, but soon became scared again.
He shrank back and kept saying sorry to Mr. Fu.
Alpha didn't say anything, just leaned over and picked him up.
Ji Xia was enveloped by the familiar smell, and the trembling in his body slowly stopped. He hugged the man tightly with his small hands and called out "Mr. Fu" in a wronged tone.
Ji Xia had a good sleep and when he woke up he found himself hugging a suit jacket. The pheromones emitted from the jacket were very familiar to him; they belonged to Mr. Fu.
Ji Xia buried his face in his coat. The smell was already very faint, but he liked it so much.
It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that Ji Xia pulled his face away, hurriedly folded his clothes, got out of bed and opened the door.
"Master Ji, breakfast is ready. Madam Qiu invites you to come downstairs for breakfast."
Ji Xia quickly washed up and went downstairs. He went down the stairs a little too fast, which scared Grandma Qiu who was reading a book on the sofa in the living room and she kept shouting at him to slow down.
Grandma Qiu said to Ji Xia across the table earnestly, "Xia Xia, the first three months of pregnancy are dangerous. You can't run like you did just now. What if you trip?"
Ji Xia listened attentively and said that he would pay more attention in the future.
After breakfast, Ji Xia accompanied Grandma Qiu to read in the living room.
As a complete academic failure, Ji Xia had been working very hard, but after a while, his eyelids started to feel heavy, and he yawned three times in a row. He was a little worried. What if the baby ended up being a poor student like him?
The huge fortune given by the Fu and Qiu families might all be squandered...
Ji Xia frowned and started reading seriously again.
It is never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. He should read more books now to make up for it.
Fifteen minutes later, with a "bang", the book hit his face. Ji Xia, who was almost asleep, shook his body and woke up suddenly.
The tips of his ears turned slightly red, and he secretly glanced at Grandma Qiu. Seeing that Grandma Qiu didn't notice him, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat up again, and continued reading.
Just when Ji Xia was feeling sleepy again, Jiang Yishao came back from outside in a hurry, followed by a row of people carrying large and small bags filled with professional suits.
"Xia Xia, look, isn't it cute?"
Jiang Yishao took out a baby dinosaur onesie from a delicate paper bag and waved it in front of Ji Xia. "Our baby will definitely be the cutest baby in the world when he wears it."
Ji Xia nodded repeatedly, it was indeed very cute.
Jiang Yishao said, "I went shopping today and bought a lot of daily necessities and clothes for the baby. The villa next door has been idle since then, so I started construction today to build an amusement park for the baby."
Ji Xia said, "Grandpa, the baby is only two months old. He doesn't need that many things, so please don't buy so many things."
After Jiang Yishao instructed the servants to bring the baby supplies upstairs, he sat down next to Ji Xia and said, "We should start preparing now so we don't have to rush when the baby is born. This is not too much, I only bought a few."
Grandma Qiu said, "Indeed, we should prepare now. I'll go shopping with you next time."
Since Qiu Qinghe's death, the Qiu and Fu families had almost stopped interacting. Because of Ji Xia's incident, the relationship between the two families had eased slightly. Young Master Jiang hadn't even arrived at the Qiu family before, but the old lady actually took the initiative to ask to go shopping with her. She was overjoyed and said, "Okay, let's go to Huacheng in a few days. I heard there are a lot of beautiful and cute baby clothes and toys."
Ji Xia knew that he couldn't stop it, so he lowered his head again and tried to continue reading, at least to finish ten pages today.
"Xia Xia."
After agreeing on a time with Mrs. Qiu, Jiang Yishao turned around and talked to Ji Xia again.
Ji Xia looked up from the book at him.
Jiang Yishao said, "Grandpa is going to arrange a blind date for you. You should rest for a few days. Once your body stabilizes, Grandpa will spread the word."
"ah?"
Ji Xia opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "What blind date?"
Young Master Jiang winked at him. "How can a family be without an Alpha father? A baby needs the love of an Alpha father to grow. You're so beautiful, so young, and pregnant with a little gold nugget. If Grandpa lets even a little bit of this news out, the Alphas who want to marry you will circle the world twice."
Ji Xia was stunned. "But..."
Jiang Yishao: "No buts, it's settled!"
.
Fu Yuan tried his best to suppress his grandfather in order to force Ji Xia to come back on his own initiative.
But the old ones were still the wisest, especially with the Fu and Qiu families joining forces. He was still struggling to deal with two once powerful business veterans on his own. The situation was only slightly better, far from enough to achieve his goal.
Just when Fu Yuan was planning a do-or-die battle, he received news that Ji Xia was going on a blind date.
The once skinny little O from the country has now jumped into the Beijing rich list thanks to the baby in her belly and has become a coveted new upstart.
According to the information collected by the assistant, no less than twenty young Alphas in Kyoto's upper class circles have submitted their personal information to the Jiang family's military compound.
With a "click", Fu Yuan broke the pen in his hand after reading the information.
He picked up his phone and called Jiang Yishao.
Fu Yuan said coldly, "Grandpa, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Yishao's voice was brisk. "Brother Xuan is almost overwhelmed. We can't protect Xia Xia and the baby. I'm thinking of finding an Alpha husband for Xia Xia and an Alpha father for the baby to take good care of them."
Fu Yuan practically squeezed out a sound through his teeth. "Little Grandpa, you never interfered in these matters before."
Jiang Yishao said: "Of course it's because Xia Xia is my favorite!"
After a pause, he continued, "The third young master of the Chen family is about the same age as Xia Xia, and Xia Xia also has a good eye for him. I think he's a good match, so I'll arrange for Xia Xia to meet him tomorrow. Mr. Fu, if you also want to meet our Xia Xia, please submit your blind date information first. Our Xia Xia will take a look at it first. If she agrees, she can meet you first so that we can get to know each other better."
Fu Yuan: …………
Jiang Yishao reminded: "Send the information to the Jiang family's military compound."
“Beep, beep, beep—”
Fu Yuan listened to the busy tone on the phone, and his hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
It would take at least two months to overwhelm the two old men, Fu and Qiu.
Fu Yuan's dark eyes looked at the bustling city outside the window, and the scene of the little thing's pale face, sad eyes, and trembling voice saying that he wanted to leave that night emerged in his mind.
He had to face the fact that in these two months, the little thing might have a successful blind date and marry another Alpha.
When he thought of this, the anger in Fu Yuan's chest suddenly flared up.
He found that compared to Ji Xia being pregnant with his child, Ji Xia marrying another Alpha and having children was more difficult for him to accept and made him angry.
There's no way he'd let the little thing marry someone else!
Fu Yuan pondered for a moment, realizing that a forceful approach wouldn't work now. The little thing was very well behaved and obedient. As long as they met and had a good talk, he was confident he could bring her back!
The black luxury car sped along the road and quickly turned into the military compound. Unexpectedly, the car, which had always been able to pass through unimpeded, was stopped just as it reached the gate.
Fu Yuan rolled down the car window and said, "I'm looking for my little grandpa."
The soldier in uniform said with a serious expression, "No matter who you are looking for, please show us your visiting card."
Fu Yuan guessed that this was another order from his grandfather, so he could only make another call.
Jiang Yishao's voice was calm. "A Yuan, let me repeat myself. If I want to meet Xia Xia, I need to invest first. Only after Xia Xia agrees can you two have a chat."
Fu Yuan surrendered. "Little Grandpa, I know it's wrong to put pressure on you. I will stop immediately."
Jiang Yishao said: "A Yuan, the person you need to apologize to is not us, but Xia Xia."
Fu Yuan's voice turned colder. "He was the first to violate the agreement between him and me."
Jiang Yishao asked: "Then what do you want to say to Xia Xia?"
Fu Yuan was silent.
Jiang Yishao repeated again: "If you want to see Xia Xia, submit your blind date information. Otherwise, there is no need for you to meet again."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The military compound is heavily guarded, with patrols at fixed times, so it's impossible to get in even if you force your way in.
Fu Yuan had no choice but to turn the car around and leave with a gloomy face.
The next afternoon, the sky was clear and the early spring sun was warm.
Ji Xia sat at the white-lacquered iron table in the garden, a bewildered look on his face. He stirred his coffee, looking a bit awkward. Opposite him sat a handsome young man in his twenties, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a very righteous appearance.
This is the blind date that his grandfather picked for him yesterday, the third young master of the Chen family.
After Little Grandpa proposed a blind date, Ji Xia actually refused. He felt that he didn't need an Alpha to take care of him. He could raise the baby on his own.
But Little Grandpa felt that Ji Xia had met too few outstanding Alphas, and that it would be beneficial for him to meet more. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to meet them, so if he didn't like them, he wouldn't have to meet them.
Ji Xia couldn't convince his grandfather, so he agreed to meet him reluctantly.
"Hello, my name is Chen Chu, the Chu from the Chu State. I'm 21 years old, 1.82 meters tall, and my hobbies are various sports and music. I'm currently a junior in college, majoring in finance. After graduation, I'll be working at my family's company. My grades are pretty good right now, and my future goal is to become a financial tycoon!"
The third young master of the Chen family sat upright and introduced himself very seriously.
He was forced by his family to go on a blind date, and he was already very unhappy about it. When he heard that the blind date was pregnant, he felt even more angry.
He is a young man with a bright future. How could he possibly marry an Oemga who is pregnant, no matter how rich he is?
On the way here, he thought of several plans to make the Omega dislike him. As long as he was not liked, this farce would be over.
He followed the servant into the garden behind the villa with a cynical look on his face. He was about to scold the servant to show his bad temper, but when he saw Little O for the first time, he swallowed the curse in his stomach.
This is so beautiful and cute!
Little O had overly delicate features and wore a white hooded sweatshirt with a carrot print. When she saw him coming, she grabbed the hem of her shirt with both hands and stood up uncomfortably.
The big, clear and bright eyes moved around shyly, like a pet little white rabbit, making people want to protect it but also want to bully it.
He thought it would be nice to marry an Omega like this, and if he wanted to be a father, then he would dote on his wife and children.
Ji Xia hesitated for a moment and followed Chen Chu's lead, introducing himself. "My name is Ji Xia, I'm 18 years old, 1.76 meters tall. I'm a baker..." At this point, Ji Xia felt like he had nothing more to say.
Chen Chu waited for a while, and seeing that the Omega didn't say anything else, he coughed lightly to break the silence.
The atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, and Chen Chu cleverly changed the subject and talked about some interesting things in college.
Ji Xia pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
He naturally has a kind of admiration for highly educated people and thinks they are super amazing.
Chen Chu has a cheerful personality and speaks in a witty and humorous way. Ji Xia was quickly attracted by his topic.
He couldn't help but curl his brows when he heard something funny, and occasionally he would interject a comment or two. The restraint and awkwardness between the two of them gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere became relaxed and lively.
Jiang Yifei sat in the room, operating a small drone and waiting.
When the atmosphere between the two people on the blind date gradually became better, he immediately took pictures to freeze the scene of the two people chatting happily. He also deliberately found some tricky angles to make the originally normal conversation become ambiguous.
After the shoot, he took some time to select the photos he was satisfied with, then packed them up and sent them directly to Fu Yuan.
Mr. Jiang: [photo] [photo] [photo] [photo]
Mr. Jiang: It’s a good match for Xia Xia, right? Xia Xia likes it too.
Mr. Jiang: After a few more contacts, we can get married soon!
After Fu Yuan came back yesterday, he was at a loss as to what to do and felt very upset. In order to relieve his emotions, he worked all night. After finally getting back into shape, he looked at his phone and the anger that had just subsided was rekindled, burning with even greater force.
He clicked on the pictures and flipped through them one by one. Looking at the little O with a smile on her face, his first reaction was that she had lost weight, and then he became angry.
He folded his arms across his chest, leaned back in his office chair, and pondered for a long time with a frown on his face.
Finally, as if in compromise, he released the strength from his body and let out a breath.
He moved the mouse, opened the document, and brought up a form to fill in information.
·
Ji Xia spent the entire afternoon chatting with Chen Chu, enjoying the young Alpha's stories about school. When they parted ways, Chen Chu asked to exchange contact information, but Ji Xia declined.
The young Alpha asked Ji Xia like a frustrated big dog if he could meet him again. Ji Xia didn't know how to get back and hurriedly fled back to the villa.
As soon as he entered the living room, he was taken away by his grandfather for questioning.
"We're having such a great time chatting, is this a successful blind date?!"
Ji Xia's cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "No. Just chatting."
Jiang Yishao looked at him and said after a moment, "You're not satisfied." He shook the thick stack of blind date information in his hand and said, "It's okay, Grandpa will help you choose slowly. Come here!"
Ji Xia pursed her lips, but couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, I actually... really don't want to fall in love, and I don't really want to get married..."
Jiang Yishao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you really think so?"
Ji Xia nodded firmly.
Young Master Jiang pulled out a piece of information and said in a long tone, "That's a shame! This is a new document that was just delivered. It has very good conditions in all aspects. The person in charge of the Fu Group is handsome, rich, and the biological father of the child."
Ji Xia was stunned, a look of disbelief on her face. "Is it Mr. Fu?"
Major General Jiang Yi handed him the information. "Take a look for yourself."
Ji Xia took the information and looked at it carefully. It was indeed Mr. Fu, and there were two full-length photos at the back.
Ji Xia was still in shock and disbelief. After a while, he asked, "Why did Mr. Fu also invest here?"
Grandma Qiu, who had been silent the whole time, said with joy, "Of course I want to marry Xia Xia."
Ji Xia's first reaction was that it was impossible. Mr. Fu had emphasized to him many times that he would not get married. Ji Xia thought that Mr. Fu was trying to get him to abort the baby during their meeting.
Ji Xia's face suddenly turned bad again.
Jiang Yishao asked: "Xia Xia, do you want to see him? The decision is yours."
Ji Xia lowered her eyelashes slightly, shook her head, and said, "No."
Mrs. Qiu wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Young Master Jiang.
Jiang Yishao pulled Ji Xia to sit on the sofa and put Fu Yuan's information at the bottom. "If you don't see this one, let's change it. There are so many, you can take your pick."
Ji Xia listened absentmindedly as his grandfather introduced Alpha's information from the documents one by one. His mind was full of Mr. Fu until he saw Jiao Mubai's photo.
Ji Xia was surprised and asked, "Isn't he married? With Fu Su."
Jiang Yishao sneered and said, "I just left yesterday."
Ji Xia:?
Jiang Yishao: "To marry you!"
Ji Xia: …………
Jiang Yishao: "Xia Xia, you are now a billionaire! The shares of Fu and Qiu Group you own are on par with A Yuan. You don't have to be afraid of anyone."
Ji Xia didn't feel anything real about this and just nodded.
Jiang Yishao patted his shoulder and said, "It's time for dinner. Let's eat first and then we can pick later."
The dishes on the table were all Ji Xia's favorites, but since that night, Ji Xia's appetite hadn't been very good. He forced himself to eat a little, then excused himself as feeling tired and went upstairs to his room.
Mrs. Qiu watched Ji Xia's back disappear at the stairs, sighed, and asked, "Since A Yuan has compromised, why didn't you persuade Xia Xia to see him? Xia Xia hasn't been eating or sleeping well in the past two weeks, and she has lost a lot of weight."
Jiang Yishao said, "The heat is not yet on the rise. It wouldn't be a bad idea to leave A Yuan alone for a few days. Let Xia Xia meet more people, so A Yuan can see how important Xia Xia is to him. Besides, after that night, Xia Xia was obviously very afraid of A Yuan, so give him some more time."
Old Madam Qiu remained silent.
Jiang Yishao said: "This time, we will definitely not repeat the same mistakes. The young couple must live in harmony."
