Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 151
by Little PandaRose-Colored: The Main Story Continues
Pregnant
And a marriage proposal
Travel does have its rewards.
Good news: Fu Chaoyun had returned to normal.
Bad news: These two went on a trip and simply didn’t come back!
Wen Wan was pregnant and needed companionship. Previously, Fu Lingfeng had spent a great deal of effort to coax her back. Helpless, the already retired Madam Fu had to take over the company’s affairs once again.
Other families would fight tooth and nail for the right of inheritance, but here, they were deferring and being modest with each other.
It had to be said.
—Serves you right! Madam Fu, you have days like this too!!!
Chi Guisi still managed to return to her country smoothly.
That side presented proof of mental health issues. The Wilson family, in order to protect this heir, conceded many benefits, opening up convenient access to many overseas industries for the Fu family. Businessmen are always profit-driven.
Furthermore, and most importantly, neither Fu Chaoyun nor Pei Xuezhi planned to pursue the matter.
The real evil-doing scum Alpha was already no longer in that body.
Instead, it was Chi Guisi herself who, after regaining clarity and hearing about her absurd actions during that period, didn’t show much anger or surprise. After all, she was someone cultivated as an heir; her awareness and mental fortitude were remarkably resilient.
Until the other person finished speaking.
“Can I see a photo of those two?”
While her body was occupied, her consciousness had been hazy. Even after the other presence left, she didn’t have many memories remaining.
The special assistant found a photo of the two of them online. Chi Guisi’s azure eyes fell on the screen.
“Truly a well-matched pair,” she suddenly sighed. “What a pity.”
No one noticed that as she sighed, this foreign Alpha’s gaze was fixed on Fu Chaoyun.
Forgot to mention.
Chi Guisi herself was an absolute supporter of AA relationships.
Fu Chaoyun and Madam Fu had completely swapped roles.
The small town in Northern Europe was still too cold, so she followed Pei Xuezhi, continuing their migration south. The couple’s footsteps gradually covered every corner of foreign lands.
Occasionally, familiar fans would encounter them, take photos, and upload them to their online Super Topic.
In the country.
“Ahhhhhhh so sweet, so sweet, kswl!!” Young Miss Mi Shan was once again shipping them to death during a break from chasing after the talent show.
By the way.
The currently popular variety talent show was also proposed by Fu Chaoyun during her tenure as president of the entertainment company—at that time, it was just an idea.
As if to make up for all that was lost in the past, Fu Chaoyun and Pei Xuezhi were away for over three months this time. Madam Fu had called to urge them back countless times, but Fu Chaoyun had deflected them all.
The warm, spring-like island seemed to have nurtured the stirrings of spring. One time, Pei Xuezhi felt unwell. After a hospital check-up, she was unexpectedly found to be pregnant!
…Was it that one time of carelessness?
Surprise suddenly struck her, and Fu Chaoyun was still a bit dazed when she received another call from Madam Fu.
Madam Fu was, as usual, urging her younger daughter to return home and inherit the family business. However, after multiple failures, her tone was inevitably a bit irritable. Unexpectedly, this time Fu Chaoyun didn’t brush it off with a joke. She listened with surprising focus.
Only then did she say, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible.”
Just that one sentence, and Madam Fu’s temper flared up again.
Fu Chaoyun: “You might be getting an additional granddaughter or grandson.”
Madam Fu: …Huh?
“Alright then, Zhizhi needs someone to take care of her over there. I’m hanging up now.”
Beep, beep, beep. Only when the busy tone of the disconnected call sounded did Madam Fu realize—Fu Chaoyun had also gotten someone pregnant?
When she told Gu Huaiyi about it, this prospective Omega grandpa was quite happy, chattering on.
“Ah Yun is much more capable than her elder sister in this matter. She’s pregnant already! Xiao Wan over there is also pregnant and approaching her due date. The two babies will be born around the same time and can play together…”
Suddenly, he paused, having thought of something else.
Gu Huaiyi looked at Madam Fu beside him, and the two exchanged glances. “Aren’t these two kids married yet?”
Getting pregnant before marriage didn’t reflect well on an Omega.
Omegas were sensitive and perceptive. The worrying old father/future grandpa started to fret about this and that again, more anxious than the parents of the two couples, pacing back and forth in the room.
Madam Fu couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Just stop thinking about these things.” She reached out and took her spouse’s hand.
“But…”
Gu Huaiyi was about to say more when he was forcefully pulled into the Alpha’s embrace, his lips and tongue captured in a kiss—
Although he was old enough to be a grandfather, these years of being cherished by his Alpha and living a carefree life had kept Gu Huaiyi’s figure and appearance exceptionally well-preserved. In front of his partner, he even retained a hint of innocence.
Muffledly, he only heard Madam Fu’s somewhat domineering voice, which, compared to when she was lecturing her daughters, now held a touch of gentleness.
“Instead of thinking about the unborn grandchildren, you should think more about me.” The Alpha gently ruffled the Omega’s short hair. “I’m the one who will spend the rest of my life with you.”
“I, I know…”
That wasn’t wrong either.
After finally raising two daughters and seeing that she could become a hands-off boss, now that grandchildren were on the way, all the work was suddenly thrown back at her. What else could Madam Fu do?
She could only be called back from retirement.
Working diligently every single day—heavens knew, she wasn’t even this diligent when her two children were first born!
Meanwhile.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Chaoyun’s dazed feeling also subsided. Her gaze shifted—
Pei Xuezhi’s abdomen was still flat. The embryo was only in its fifth week. The discomfort she’d been feeling had become quite frequent these days. Both mother and fetus were very healthy, but it was just so magical—a life was being nurtured in that flat belly. It was the crystallization of her love with Pei Xuezhi, the continuation of their affection.
Fu Chaoyun’s heart couldn’t help but flutter. The ecstatic Alpha moved faster than her thoughts, picking up the Omega and spinning her around.
Pei Xuezhi also indulged her somewhat childish behavior, one spin, two spins… Suddenly, she heard Fu Chaoyun say.
“Zhizhi, let’s get married!”
The smile that had just appeared on Pei Xuezhi’s face suddenly froze. Fu Chaoyun, noticing this, lowered her own eyelids, her dense lashes completely concealing her emotions.
Pei Xuezhi didn’t speak.
She neither said yes nor no.
That night.
For the first time since Fu Chaoyun had regained her senses, Pei Xuezhi rarely slept alone again.
She lay slightly on her side, making sure not to press on the fetus—of course, at such a small size, it couldn’t be pressed anyway. Her hand rested lightly on her belly, stroking it slowly.
As if protective, as if worried.
Pei Xuezhi had almost completed her studies. She didn’t plan to pursue further education. As long as she completed her thesis by April next year, she could officially graduate and leave university life behind.
It was also… a time when she could get married.
Having celebrated the New Year earlier, Pei Xuezhi was now only 22 years old. In terms of marriage, she was indeed a bit young.
From most people’s perspective, at this age, there was no rush; one could date freely for a few more years. In this lifetime, she hadn’t actually dated Fu Chaoyun for very long, yet suddenly, one day, she was about to be upgraded to a mother?
It was too fast!
Would she do a good job?
And this child…
Fu Chaoyun had clearly said before that they were both still young and wouldn’t have children for the time being. But an accident had brought it about prematurely. Even though this little life didn’t have self-awareness yet, could she really abort it?
For a fleeting moment, this dark thought had surfaced in Pei Xuezhi’s mind, only to be quickly suppressed.
That night, she didn’t sleep very well.
Even Fu Chaoyun sensed the abnormality in the Omega’s emotions. From the second day onwards, Fu Chaoyun never mentioned the child or marriage again. What was revealed in her daily behavior was that her care was even more meticulous and attentive than before.
But Pei Xuezhi, who was also observing carefully, noticed these things and even overthought them.
She knew she shouldn’t be like this, but perhaps due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, she was sensitive and prone to overthinking. Some perfectly normal behaviors she still couldn’t help but interpret in a dark and negative way, little by little allowing herself to sink into negative emotions.
One evening.
Fu Chaoyun knocked on the door of Pei Xuezhi’s room.
“What is it?”
Fu Chaoyun didn’t speak, merely took Pei Xuezhi’s hand. “Come with me.”
If one were observant, they would notice that her demeanor at this moment wasn’t as cautiously careful as in the past.
In fact, it had been like this for several days.
This was a small island by the sea, located to the south. Even though it was already evening local time, the sun hadn’t completely set; the sunset still retained a sliver of crimson afterglow.
The colorful lights on the beach were already lit. The setting sun and the new moon coexisted. Glimmering lights and countless stars in the sky complemented each other, along with innumerable colorful balloons.
Compared to a luxurious ball, this place was more casual, natural, and lively, as if some event was in full swing.
Fu Chaoyun led Pei Xuezhi by the hand, walking over. Along the way, people clapped and smiled at them, their faces showing either gentle or sincere smiles, seemingly welcoming them to join this joyous feast.
The two of them walked all the way to the innermost part.
A platform had been set up on the beach at some unknown time. That was also the brightest spot. At this moment, Pei Xuezhi had already realized something. Fu Chaoyun still held her hand, walking towards the most dazzling high platform.
The sounds of singing, dancing, or clapping grew louder, and some people were even cheering. Pei Xuezhi finally saw clearly now that the smiles on the faces of everyone around, regardless of gender or age, were all blessings.
Fu Chaoyun led Pei Xuezhi to the center of the high platform and suddenly knelt on one knee.
The sunset glow and the colorful lights fell on the Alpha’s shoulders.
In an instant, Pei Xuezhi made a new discovery: the Alpha’s clothes and hairstyle had been meticulously arranged, all for this moment.
The Alpha took a box out of her pocket, opened it, and then looked up. Fu Chaoyun’s eyes were brimming with tender affection, and even the curve of her cheeks, outlined by the light, was gentle.
“Zhizhi, will you marry me?”
She didn’t use a microphone; these words were spoken only for Pei Xuezhi to hear. Standing on high, with everything set up before them, was in the hope that more people could see and witness this romance.
Neither Fu Chaoyun nor Pei Xuezhi were people who liked grand displays. Their previous engagement had been handled quite low-key. Everything was a formality; the most important thing was for two people in love to be together.
But right now, to soothe Pei Xuezhi’s sensitive and uneasy emotions, and also because they were in a foreign, mature place where no one knew them—they were merely strangers acting as witnesses, who would offer their blessings in the moment and forget by the next day, embarking on another journey.
Therefore, they weren’t so reserved.
In the box was a diamond ring, now held in Fu Chaoyun’s hand. Her eyes, looking at Pei Xuezhi, were incredibly gentle, yet if one looked closely, one could still see a hidden nervousness and anticipation.
This was the other person’s truest emotion, impossible to hide.
Pei Xuezhi looked at the ring again.
It was silver, fashioned in the shape of intertwined branches1, with a not-too-large, not-too-small ruby set in the center as an embellishment.
“It’s a rose,” Fu Chaoyun suddenly said softly.
Roses, the crystallization of their feelings during the romance variety show. This time, it had become the most passionate red rose.
During this period, they had been together constantly, so Fu Chaoyun hadn’t sought out any jewelry designers. Before that were all the incidents with the scum Alpha. This meant the ring had been prepared a long, long time ago.
The light reflected on Fu Chaoyun’s face. In just the short time since they had come out, the sky had suddenly darkened. It was more night than evening now, adding a touch of mystery and ambiguous color to this proposal.
Pei Xuezhi just kept looking at her lover’s face. “Where’s yours?”
Fu Chaoyun quickly took out another ring.
Pei Xuezhi took it, holding it in her fingers.
“Your hand.”
The Alpha obediently complied, but the Omega was one step ahead, slipping the ring onto the Alpha’s ring finger.
—As expected of Pei Xuezhi, always wanting to be first even at a time like this!
The blooming rose branch contrasted with the snow-white skin, the ruby emitting a brilliant light. Pei Xuezhi lowered her gaze, quietly admiring it.
“It’s so beautiful.”
After exclaiming, she looked at the Alpha’s expression—happy, nervous… In short, not so mature.
But who asked her to choose this lover?
Even if it meant abandoning everything from the past to stay here, even if it meant this Omega would bind this partner to her for life.
In the twilight, the wind lifted Pei Xuezhi’s long hair. One hand unconsciously rested on her lower abdomen, as if stroking the child that couldn’t yet be felt, and also as if comforting herself.
Her voice was as light as a whisper in the breeze.
“I do.”
!
Again, she was picked up and spun around by the Alpha, who was ecstatic. Applause thundered around them, but this time, she kept her head down, her gaze following the Alpha’s, her ink-black, star-like eyes dazzling and intoxicating, without any avoidance.
Fu Chaoyun’s proposal was a resounding success!
The beach at night was slightly cool, filled with blessings. The two didn’t stay too long, only leaving behind one sentence—”Tonight’s expenses are all on Miss Fu!”
On the way back, Fu Chaoyun began, “Actually, I’m not ready to be a mother yet…”
Pei Xuezhi’s steps suddenly halted.
“Just like now, it’s great for the two of us to continue being together. We don’t need anything else. Besides, I haven’t had enough fun yet.”
All her restless anxieties were erased by this declaration of preference.
Pei Xuezhi interrupted her, “Do you remember what I told you earlier?”
Fu Chaoyun became uncertain, hesitating for a moment. “When?”
Pei Xuezhi shot her a look. “Just now!”
“…”
Fu Chaoyun nodded repeatedly. Pei Xuezhi let out a sigh of relief and suddenly took the Alpha’s hand, placing it on her own lower abdomen.
Only a few days had passed, and Pei Xuezhi’s belly was still flat; nothing could be felt.
Only her pair of black eyes were exceptionally serious.
“I am willing. I am willing.”
She had just gotten sidetracked for a moment.
As long as she was certain that the most important person in Fu Chaoyun’s heart would always be her, then whether it was waiting through amnesia, getting married, or having children…
She was willing, completely and utterly willing.
…
…
Many years later, when their kiddo2 Jiaojiao3 had grown up and learned about this episode, the merely three-and-a-half-year-old kiddo heaved a heavy sigh, propped up her little head, and said in a soft, cute, childish voice, feigning profoundness.
“Thanks to Mama’s sudden stroke of genius.”
“Thank you, my two Mommies, for the grace of not ‘offing’ me back then.”
“Sigh, to be born alive, it really wasn’t easy at all~~~”
The author has something to say:
I’ve sorted things out a bit, and it seems there isn’t much to write for extras; the main story was so long it covered almost everything. So, I’ll just fill in some gaps here and there, writing whatever comes to mind. Let’s skip the wedding, I’m not good at writing them, nor do I particularly like to _(:з”∠)_
By the way, I’m casually asking for name suggestions for their kiddo, two characters, for a little girl~
