Chapter 112
Feng Ran decided to hold her eighteenth birthday party at her new home. There were still some decorations to choose from, but she had veto power, so after discussing it with Xing Tong, they quickly finished them. It wasn't that she really wanted to hold the party at home; it's just that her pheromones were out of control during her differentiation period, and the air purifier couldn't keep up, causing the house to smell musty that she couldn't get rid of no matter how much she tried.
Although she didn't dislike the loving atmosphere of her home, she couldn't help but frighten others. Every time she went out covered in pheromones, people would either avoid her or give her strange looks. After differentiation, her pheromones became even more aggressive. The restraining effect Fran had mentioned on other pheromones had completely turned into beating other people's pheromones so badly they dared not show themselves.
Curiosity killed the cat. Fran's research spirit was too strong. He asked for a bit of the enhanced version of pheromones to make an inhibitor for himself, which almost ruined Basil's long-term marking treatment.
She didn't do it on purpose, and she's very upset about it.
But before her birthday party, there was one more thing that troubled her: the gender test after the differentiation process was complete.
Although Feng Ran is now able to accept and acknowledge her Enigma identity, it doesn't mean she wants others to know it.
So the few people who knew the situation gathered at Feng Ran's new home for a meeting. However, while everyone else was quite in agreement, Feng Ran remained silent. Shen Shiqian said he didn't mind leaving it entirely to Feng Ran to decide.
After surviving the ordeal on the bed, his mindset underwent some subtle changes. People still need to abstain from sex appropriately, otherwise their bodies really can't take it.
Although he had previously said that he loved Feng Ran and that it wouldn't matter if she killed him, he could still distinguish between accepting something voluntarily and accepting it passively.
Those who were invited looked at each other, wondering why Feng Ran had so casually revealed such a secret to so many people, and whether he wanted to keep it a secret or not.
Since the two main figures are not speaking, others have to push things forward.
Nishimura: "So what's your hesitation?"
Feng Ran glanced at each of them in turn, but finally his gaze returned to Shen Shiqian: "I always feel that if this gets out, there will be a lot of trouble. After all, my reputation isn't that good. What if people think I'm cruel as Enigma and boycott me?"
Xisen picked at his ear, numbly thinking, "It's a misunderstanding. This has nothing to do with public opinion. You are just very cruel."
Fran wholeheartedly supported her: "Just beat up whoever gives you trouble."
What a brilliant example of using violence to combat violence!
Basil: "But Ranran, you've actually done a lot for the people of the Empire, haven't you? If you just tell everyone that the new vaccine and the treatment for physical weakness were developed by you, they'll definitely understand your position."
Fran chimed in, "That's right, and Enigma is so rare. They haven't even seen it with their own eyes, so how can they judge whether you're good or bad? Besides, you already have Shen Shiqian, so you're not going to attack someone else."
Xisen could understand: "But it's precisely because she marked a 3S-level Alpha like Shen Shiqian that others are afraid."
Basil turned and glared at him: "Calicchi, whose side are you on anyway?!"
Fran was a complete opportunist: "While it's not impossible for you to keep it a secret forever, what's the point of us discussing this?"
Feng Ran pouted and strained for a moment before barely suppressing her laughter, then casually said, "Well, the main concern is what if Shen Shiqian's child is born without proper identification if we don't make it public?"
The ceramic teacup that Shen Shiqian had carefully selected, along with its coaster, was smashed to the ground with a "crack" by Basil.
Fran reacted the fastest: "It already is?!"
Xisen stood up abruptly: "No? Shouldn't I be the first to know?"
Shen Shiqian was somewhat stunned: "Don't even mention you, I just found out myself."
Basil immediately broke down: "You two aren't married yet!"
Feng Ran: "Oh, you reminded me. We need to put this on the agenda soon."
Xisen: "No, really? Are you saying he's pregnant now or that he'll give birth to an unregistered child?"
Feng Ran held up two fingers: "We have them now, two of them."
Basil: "You called us here just to hear you brag, didn't you!"
For a moment, Xisen didn't know whether to say who was more of a beast between the two of them. It had only been a short time since the differentiation ended, and Enigma's energy was already so terrifying.
Fran was noticeably more curious and obedient: "How long has it been? Have you had it checked? Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl? This is way too fast for a reproductive modification process!"
Shen Shiqian suddenly became flustered, touched his stomach, and then reached out to grab Feng Ran: "Ranran, I..."
Feng Ran: "Not long, maybe five or six days. The instruments can't detect how small they are. They are twins, and the reproductive modification was completed before differentiation, so the implantation went very smoothly."
Basil then turned and glared at Fran: "Why are you asking so many questions! I don't want to hear them!"
Xisen: "How can you be so sure when you haven't even checked?"
Feng Ran pulled Shen Shiqian's hand away from her stomach and casually fiddled with her Omega in front of everyone, first reassuring her, "It's okay, you're very healthy, don't worry so much."
She looked at Xisen: "Don't you know I have superpowers? My observation and perception are more accurate than any instrument."
Fran nodded seriously.
Basil, losing all composure, continued yelling, "What are you doing! Don't you think I know?!"
Fran coldly reminded him, "Don't you remember how you and Feng Ran were thrown out of that empty classroom before?"
Basil seemed to have calmed down: "That's enough. I'm going home to study. I still have a book to read for my extra exam."
Fran scoffed, "Then you're really slow."
The two men were on the verge of a fight.
Shen Shiqian seemed to have finally recovered and moved closer to Feng Ran: "Shouldn't we hurry up and prepare for the wedding? It wouldn't be good if I got pregnant and couldn't fit into my dress."
As the eldest in the group, Xisen tried to steer the conversation back on track amidst the chaotic chatter: "Why don't you resolve the issue of the child's unregistered status first?"
Fran was the first to raise her hand, her answer unwavering in her conviction: "Nothing else matters, we'll beat up anyone who doesn't like our baby!"
Basil wanted to go up and hit him: "Are you trying to rebel by always resorting to violence?" When she turned to look at Feng Ran, she didn't offer any more constructive advice. "If you really can't stand it, just secretly hire someone to beat him up."
Shen Shiqian also joined the fray: "Why don't we whisper something to Princess Sherry and discuss it? If all else fails, we can just rebel."
Basil: "Ha, then I'll switch sides from now on, and pretend I don't know Joey Bruce and his family."
Xisen finally lost his composure: "I remembered I have a brain surgery to perform later, I should go now..."
Feng Ran was still undecided: "Are you guys seriously discussing this? Are you going to make it public? Or fight it? Or just make them unregistered?"
Fran: "It can also be registered under my name."
His aggression escalated rapidly when it came to Shen Shiqian's position as the official wife: "Ha, what's the difference between being stripped of your citizenship and being an unregistered resident while registered under the name of a space pirate?"
Basil: "Since things have come to this, it's better to put it under my name."
Shen Shiqian: "If you're so desperate for a child, why don't you have the woman next to you give birth to one for you?"
Sissen was so shocked that he didn't even leave his seat, instead sitting back down and sucking his thumb: "Is this what you two are like?"
Fran didn't want to be tied up, and the rabbit shrieked, "Master, do something about him!"
Xing Tong patted him with her pink mechanical arm from the corner: "Goodbye, Fran, I can't beat him."
Feng Ran's head started to throb; he had never imagined a group of men could be so noisy.
She didn't feel that she had started all the chaos; she simply used her pheromones to intimidate everyone, her cold aura carrying a sense of oppression that silenced them all.
Fran, the only true Omega in the room, sullenly turned on his stress-relief device. Basil leaned over to rub against his device, and when Sissen saw this, he also tried to rub against it, but was kicked away by Basil as soon as he got close.
Feng Ran: "Is it quiet now? If it's quiet, then listen to me for a moment."
"First, we need to determine whether to disclose the information or not, what the impact of disclosure will be, whether it will be a good or a bad impact, and if it will be a bad impact, what remedial measures can be taken."
Xisen said dejectedly, "Once the child is made public, he won't be an unregistered resident anymore."
Basil: "As for influencing things like this, how about I lend you my marketing account? Ranran, if you show your face a few more times, your fans will have no problem tearing apart Chen Shiqian's fans."
Fran nodded in agreement, "You have quite a few perverts among your fans." He had previously read Feng Ran's report on the military's front office on StarNet and accidentally stumbled into the forum community. He watched as Huang Wen wrote about and sexually assaulted every general in the military who had some looks and a good reputation. It was absolutely outrageous.
Shen Shiqian knew exactly when to be charming and when to be provocative. When he spoke to Feng Ran, he didn't even look at anyone else directly: "Ranran, you have to believe in yourself. Your reputation is fine. Look on the bright side, and everyone will be willing to accept you. The only ones who will react negatively are the people at the Academy of Sciences, but you'll have your own research institute soon, so they can't control you. If they really want to cause trouble, they'll probably go after the Feng family and the procuratorate first."
After all, one concealed it, and the other didn't notice anything amiss during the first differentiation.
Basil: "That's right, and the reputation of those people at the Academy of Sciences is much worse than yours. Didn't they have another internal conflict and split recently because of the verification experiment and the treatment for physical weakness? Besides, now that real power is in Princess Sherry's hands, even if they say something, the princess might not listen, right?"
Fran immediately resorted to a dirty trick: "If all else fails, let Shen Shiqian also make a statement. Make up a sour and stinky love story and cry to the entire empire, saying that you have a ton of women around you, and he chased you for half an interstellar distance before finally winning you over. He said he'd fight anyone who broke up with you."
Feng Ran glanced at Shen Shiqian thoughtfully, then said confidently, "You don't need to bring it up; he'd probably do it himself."
Xisen shrugged: "Then there's nothing to worry about. How much do ordinary people know about Enigma? As long as everyone insists that you're good, you can pretend to be weak and play the victim, and people will fall for it. Whether it's marking or modifying, it will all fall on Shen Shiqian. It's a willing buyer and a willing seller, so what can others say?"
Fran: "That's alright then. I'm going to share this good news with everyone and have Liux make little clothes for the baby."
Basil: "Now that things have come to this, I want to be your godfather."
Shen Shiqian ruthlessly shattered his beautiful dream: "When the baby is born, tell them that I am the real one and you are the fake one."
Basil's face immediately soured: "Heh, then I'll be your father-in-law, okay? Let's arrange a marriage between our children first."
Shen Shiqian's attack remained undiminished. He glanced at him from head to toe and said, "The age difference is quite large, isn't it? How dare you bring it up?"
Basil: "I'll return that to you verbatim. You're no older than 11."
Sissen nodded silently; he was on the right side in this respect.
Feng Ran stood up numbly: "You two can continue your conversation. I'll go discuss it with Afu."
