After Marrying the Top Alpha of a Wealthy Family, I Am Spoiled Rotten Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Wen Yan was having trouble falling asleep.

Around eleven o'clock, he heard the sound of a car.

Lin Chuanwu entered the room while taking off his coat and saw Wen Yan standing on the stairs. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Wen Yan adjusted his clothes, "I was just about to."

They had a late-night snack together, and after Lin Chuanwu finished his shower, they lay down on the bed.

"Couldn't sleep because you missed me?" Lin Chuanwu pressed his forehead against Wen Yan's and then tried to wrap his arm around Wen Yan's waist.

"Chuanwu…" Wen Yan struggled, embarrassed.

Seeing his arm being pushed away, it seemed Wen Yan didn't want him to touch his waist and abdomen.

Lin Chuanwu frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing. Don't you feel hot?" Wen Yan's eyelashes fluttered intensely.

"No, I don't."

"I feel a bit hot."

"Are you trying to avoid me hugging you?" Lin Chuanwu's expression turned gloomy.

"No, no." Wen Yan quickly shook his head.

Seeing that Wen Yan didn't seem to be lying, Lin Chuanwu stopped trying to hug him and instead slipped his hand under Wen Yan's clothes, moving downward. "Let me see if it's healed."

"Let's just go to sleep quickly." Wen Yan hurriedly stopped him again.

Lin Chuanwu withdrew his hand, his pupils narrowing as he scrutinized Wen Yan.

Wen Yan lowered his eyes, his ears turning red. "I've been really tired from working overtime these past few days."

Lin Chuanwu knew that the game Wen Yan was working on was nearing completion, and it was a busy time. He also noticed that Wen Yan's chin had become sharper, and he seemed to have lost some weight, so he withdrew his hand.

"Once you finish this game, you should go back to J University to teach."

"I've already resigned." Wen Yan said helplessly.

"You can still go back even if you've resigned."

Lin Chuanwu gently pinched Wen Yan's face. The little bit of flesh that had finally appeared had disappeared after half a month of busyness.

"I'll think about it once I'm done." Wen Yan had resigned from the school for Wen Shichuan's sake. Now that he had completed the game he wanted to make, if there really was… a baby, he should consider his future career development.

"Let's sleep." Lin Chuanwu said.

Wen Yan closed his eyes but suddenly opened them again, only to see Lin Chuanwu staring at him without sleeping.

Wen Yan's face turned slightly red, "Chuanwu, don't do that while I'm asleep…"

*

The next morning, when Wen Yan opened his eyes, Lin Chuanwu was already gone. Wen Yan was still a bit worried that Lin Chuanwu might have done something while he was asleep, so he went to the bathroom to check. There were no signs of disorder, and he didn't feel any discomfort, so it seemed nothing had happened.

Then Wen Yan looked at his own belly, which was still round, and he became lost in thought…

At the office building, Wen Yan took the elevator with an omega.

The omega was pregnant, with a belly like a small ball, and seemed very happy, stroking the belly while browsing the news and laughing.

After the omega left, Wen Yan also gently touched his own belly.

But soon, Wen Yan stopped his hand. He was just a beta, and there were very few betas in the world who could get pregnant. Wen Yan didn't think he would be an exception.

But thinking this way, for some reason, he felt a bit disappointed.

Back at his workstation, he didn't immediately start working but first searched whether betas could get pregnant…

The answer was yes, but it was very rare. There was also expert advice below, stating that reproduction was a physiological trait of omegas, and it was best not to go against natural laws.

When Chang Jing greeted him, Wen Yan quickly closed the page.

"Morning."

"Boss, have you seen our official account? The second teaser has already received fifty thousand likes and six thousand comments."

"Is the data that good?"

Wen Yan quickly put aside thoughts of pregnancy and opened the official account. Indeed, there were many more comments than when it was first released yesterday. Although there were a few comments saying they followed the game because of Lin Chuanwu, most were genuinely interested in the game.

Seeing so many people looking forward to it, Wen Yan became even more strict with himself. He didn't want to disappoint everyone.

He repeatedly conducted internal tests, fixed bugs, and invited game bloggers to try it out.

After being busy for two or three days, it was finally Friday.

"This week really wore me out. I need to catch up on sleep during the break." Liu Ren said while stretching.

Wen Yan was having lunch. He no longer felt nauseous and had a good appetite. He was hungry again less than three hours after breakfast.

It was like when he was about to become an adult, during which he also ate a lot and grew quickly. Now, he wasn't growing taller, but his belly was gradually getting bigger.

Wen Yan ate while staring at his belly. It wasn't noticeable when he stood up, but when he sat down, the small round bulge pushed against his shirt…

Liu Ren noticed and exclaimed, "Boss, you've gained weight?"

Wen Yan's ears heated up, and he hurriedly covered his belly with a small blanket.

"Yes, I've gained weight."

"But it's strange, why is it only your belly that's getting bigger, and not other parts?"

"I read a report yesterday saying that every omega has a little belly, which is actually good because it protects the omega's uterus. Having no belly fat is actually not good."

"Oh, I see." Wen Yan awkwardly agreed.

"Then for us alphas and betas, having belly fat is just for protection?"

"That might just be pure fat."

In the afternoon, Wen Yan took a two-hour leave.

Gu Yi didn't ask what he was going to do and approved it directly.

Wen Yan went to the hospital.

Wearing a mask and hat, he registered first.

After registering, he waited. In front of him were all omegas, and Wen Yan lowered his head, feeling a bit ashamed…

There was even an omega who had just come of age and was already pregnant, sitting next to him, asking him questions like how many months pregnant he was, whether his husband was irresponsible, and why he didn't come with him.

Wen Yan didn't know how to answer her, but fortunately, the nurse called his number.

Sitting in front of the doctor, Wen Yan took off his hat and mask.

"A beta? Checking for pregnancy?"

The doctor was a relatively young beta, and she smiled, "It's impossible for a beta to get pregnant."

"But I've been feeling nauseous for the past few days…"

"Feeling nauseous could be a digestive issue or possibly depression or anxiety."

"But my belly has also gotten bigger than before."

The doctor smiled, "Judging by your attire, you should be an office worker, right? Nowadays, office workers sit for long periods, and everyone ends up with a little belly."

"So you're saying the chances of me being pregnant are slim."

The doctor nodded, "I think you might be under a lot of mental stress, which is causing these worries. When you were waiting in line, did you see any other betas besides yourself?"

Wen Yan left the hospital, taking off his hat and mask.

On the taxi ride back, Wen Yan kept staring at his abdomen.

He didn't undergo any tests, but the doctor's words dispelled his doubts.

It was probably because the alpha kept saying he would get pregnant, so he was influenced, leading to nausea and weight gain, and he immediately thought he was pregnant.

Beta pregnancy wouldn't bring the same joy as omega pregnancy; it would most likely just seem strange.

He should be happy that he wasn't pregnant, but Wen Yan felt a bit disappointed…

Lin Chuanwu was busy on Saturday, and Wen Yan, feeling down, didn't want to stay at home, so he continued to work overtime at the company. Once he started working, he completely entered a state of flow, only stopping when he was hungry to quickly eat a rice ball, then continuing to work until it was dark before shutting down the computer.

When he left the company building, Wen Yan felt a bit dizzy, but he didn't pay attention until his vision went black, and he broke out in a cold sweat, realizing something was wrong.

A passerby noticed his condition, came over to support him, and called 120 for help.

Wen Yan fainted.

When he woke up again, he was in the hospital.

Wen Yan sat up and found an IV in his arm, which he pulled out.

A nurse came over, "This is a nutrient solution. Why did you pull it out? Don't you care about your own health? You should also think about the baby in your belly."

Wen Yan suddenly paused, "…The baby in my belly?"

"Yes." The nurse reinserted the needle, "It's already three months."

"I just saw a doctor yesterday, and they said I wouldn't…"

"Sometimes doctors diagnose based on experience, but the most accurate way is through blood tests and imaging."

"Did you have any tests done yesterday?"

Wen Yan shook his head.

"I'd like to see my test report."

The nurse left and returned with the report for Wen Yan.

It was an ultrasound image, showing a small, blurry mass of flesh and blood in black and white.

Wen Yan's fingers trembled, and he couldn't quite believe it. He looked at the report, which indeed had his name and age on it.

"Is it healthy?"

"No issues have been found so far."

A patient called for the nurse, and before leaving, the nurse added:

"Call your husband to pay the hospital fees."

Wen Yan pulled out the needle again and went to pay the fees himself, holding the report as he left the hospital.

He took a taxi home, feeling anxious, but fortunately, the alpha hadn't returned yet.

Wen Yan took a shower and sat on the edge of the bed, constantly staring at the test report.

He was really having a baby…

Wen Yan felt a bit embarrassed but also very happy…

It was his and the alpha's baby…

But soon, Wen Yan began to worry. He was just a beta, and the baby might not be healthy… It might even be another beta like him.

Wen Yan didn't think betas were inferior to alphas and omegas, but Lin Chuanwu's family was different.

Grandpa Lin would joke about wanting him to have an alpha grandson for their family, but Wen Yan had never heard him mention having a beta grandson…

When he heard the sound of a car, Wen Yan quickly hid the report under the pillow.

He lay on the bed as if nothing had happened, and after thinking for a moment, he covered his belly with the blanket.

He still didn't know how to tell the alpha…

The alpha soon opened the door and came in, embracing him from behind with a hint of moisture.

"Are you asleep?"

Before Wen Yan could answer, a hand slipped under his clothes.

"Wait, wait a moment." Wen Yan nervously stopped him.

"I'm really tired today. Can we wait a few days?"

Lin Chuanwu bit his shoulder, looking gloomy, "You said the same thing three days ago."

"Let me rest a few more days, okay?" Wen Yan apologized, holding his face.

Lin Chuanwu didn't continue and started touching his belly.

"Isn't it getting bigger?"

Wen Yan became nervous, "I've been eating a lot lately."

"Why aren't you pregnant yet?"

Wen Yan's ears heated up, "Maybe, maybe soon."

Lin Chuanwu buried his head in Wen Yan's neck, "Is it me who's the problem?"

Seeing Lin Chuanwu looking frustrated, Wen Yan quickly said, "You're not the problem."

"Chuanwu, why do you want a child?" Wen Yan asked softly.

"I think it would be very happy." Lin Chuanwu said quietly.

Just thinking about coming home from work and seeing Wen Yan and the child waiting for him filled him with warmth.

Wen Yan still felt a bit worried…

*

After finishing a meeting, Lin Chuanwu sat in his office and suddenly stared at Qiu Yi.

"How long did it take for your wife to get pregnant?"

Qiu Yi was taken aback, "Let me think, I think she got pregnant right after we got married."

"Why?"

"Nothing," Lin Chuanwu frowned, "You can go."

Qiu Yi, not understanding, left but added before going out, "Wang Duozi invited you to play golf this afternoon."

"I'm not going."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Prepare the car for me."

It was Wang Duozi who had given him a heads-up, saying that Yan Lifeng was about to fall, and Lin Chuanwu owed him a favor.

In the afternoon, he arrived at the golf course as agreed, and Wang Duozi greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Wang Duozi looking so pleased, Lin Chuanwu couldn't help but ask, "Good news?"

Unexpectedly, this opened Wang Duozi's chatterbox, "Haha, my wife is pregnant with our second child."

There were other executives around, and they couldn't help but compliment, "Wang, you're impressive, almost forty and having a second child."

Wang Duozi feigned modesty, "It wasn't that easy; we prepared for a long time."

"When the baby is born, everyone must come."

"Of course, we'll be there." The other executives chimed in.

"Lin, when can we attend your child's full moon banquet?" Wang Duozi inquired.

"Soon." Lin Chuanwu replied coldly.

"Lin, you've been married for half a year, right?" Wang Duozi asked, not reading the room.

"People are still young, not in a hurry to have kids." Someone tried to smooth things over for Wang Duozi.

"Exactly, a world for just the two of them is great. Old Wang, not everyone is as eager to have kids as you."

"I just remembered I have some work to handle, you all enjoy."

"Don't leave, Lin."

But Lin Chuanwu went straight to the car.

"Is there a collaboration with Wang Duozi's company?" Lin Chuanwu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"Cancel it."

Qiu Yi hurriedly checked Lin Chuanwu's expression in the rearview mirror and found it very unpleasant.

"Okay, I'll notify the people below right away."

Wang Duozi, happily finishing his golf game, suddenly received a notice from his secretary on the way home, saying that the Lin Corporation had canceled their collaboration, and his smile vanished instantly.

"Why was it suddenly canceled?"

"Did I offend him somehow?"

When Lin Chuanwu returned home, Wen Yan was already asleep.

He was sleeping soundly, with his hand on his belly, as if in a protective gesture.

Lin Chuanwu moved his hand away and noticed Wen Yan's belly was slightly rounded. He stared at it for a while, unbuttoned the shirt, and saw a very round curve protruding from the belly.

Unfortunately, it was just weight gain.

He buttoned Wen Yan's shirt back up, and when he held Wen Yan in his arms, his arm accidentally touched something under Wen Yan's pillow.

Lin Chuanwu lifted the pillow and found a report.
