After Marrying the Top Alpha of a Wealthy Family, I Am Spoiled Rotten Chapter 45

Chapter 45

It was an ultrasound image, two black and white shadowy figures, with a concise line of text below—early pregnancy in the cavity.

Lin Chuanwu's breath hitched as he confirmed the name on the report once more.

Name: Wen Yan.

Gender: Beta

Age: 27 years old.

Pregnancy: Three months.

His chest tightened, and his heartbeat thundered in his ears. Lin Chuanwu swallowed hard.

Three months, that was from their time on the ship. Lin Chuanwu looked over the report several times, ensuring it wasn't his imagination or a dream. He immediately pulled the sleeping Wen Yan into his arms.

However, the joy quickly turned into suspicion.

The report was from three days ago, and during these three days, Wen Yan hadn't hinted or explicitly told him about this matter. He even seemed a bit afraid of Lin Chuanwu looking at his stomach…

It seemed he didn't plan to tell him at all…

Lin Chuanwu placed the report back in its place.

He stared at Wen Yan with a gloomy expression.

Wen Yan had a dream and woke up startled, but he couldn't remember anything. He only noticed Lin Chuanwu wasn't sleeping and was staring at him with a not-so-good expression.

Wen Yan checked the time; it was two in the morning.

"Chuanwu, can't you sleep?"

Lin Chuanwu grunted in response.

"Did something happen?" Wen Yan moved closer to him.

Lin Chuanwu stared at him, "You were touching your stomach and calling out 'baby' in your dream just now."

"Calling 'baby'…" Wen Yan's eyes dodged, "I forgot what I dreamed about."

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Wen Yan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"…No."

Lin Chuanwu's chest heaved for a moment, and he stopped speaking, continuing to stare at him.

Wen Yan avoided his gaze, then hugged his head, raising his upper body as if feeding a baby, offering himself to his mouth, his cheeks slowly turning red.

"Chuanwu, do you want to eat… here?"

Lin Chuanwu's scalp tightened.

To change the subject, he was trying to please him like this.

"I don't want to eat."

"I want to c you."

"Not now…"

"Why not now?"

"I-I'm a bit tired… work has been busy lately." Wen Yan lowered his eyes.

Lin Chuanwu pinched his cheeks hard.

The next morning, Lin Chuanwu didn't rush to the company. He made breakfast and waited for Wen Yan to wake up.

Wen Yan was slightly surprised to see him when he came downstairs.

After breakfast, Lin Chuanwu drove him to the company.

As soon as Wen Yan got out of the car, Lin Chuanwu activated the tracker and instructed Qiu Yi, "Have someone keep an eye on him. If he goes to the hospital, notify me immediately."

Qiu Yi was puzzled.

Wasn't everything fine a few days ago? Why the sudden insecurity?

But he didn't dare to ask, "Okay, Mr. Lin."

"By the way, Wang Duozi wants to see you. He said he consulted a doctor and wants to give you a box of something very nourishing."

"Something nourishing?" Lin Chuanwu laughed without any expression.

"Not seeing him."

"Understood."

Wen Yan stood at the second-floor staircase, watching Lin Chuanwu's car leave before taking the elevator back to the company.

He wondered why Lin Chuanwu suddenly wanted to drive him to work today…

Sitting at his workstation, Wen Yan continued to fix bugs and read feedback from player bloggers.

Wen Yan carefully read each one. They wrote earnestly about the good and bad aspects.

Wen Yan extracted the commonly perceived negative points and held a meeting with Chang Jing and the others to discuss how to make improvements.

And just like that, the day passed.

At six o'clock, Wen Yan decided not to work overtime and shut down his computer.

"Huh, boss, why are you leaving work so early today?" Chang Jing asked in surprise.

"I'm a bit hungry, want to go home and eat." Wen Yan replied.

"Your appetite has grown recently." At noon, Chang Jing watched Wen Yan eat a box of rice, two servings of vegetables, and two servings of meat.

"Yeah." Wen Yan smiled sheepishly.

Then he looked down at his stomach.

After the nausea stopped, he became able to eat a lot, seemingly a very healthy, good-appetite baby.

Thinking this, Wen Yan felt a strange, warm feeling, but it was quickly replaced by worry, and he suppressed his smile.

As he left, he overheard Chang Jing and Liu Ren discussing the news.

"A company similar to Lin's Group, also a top alpha, but his wife is an omega, and they had a beta, and the second child is also a beta."

"If it were an ordinary family, it wouldn't matter, but in such a big family with such a large business, if they have a beta, his brothers will definitely start coveting their business."

"Indeed, I heard they're preparing for a third child, but if it's another beta, do you think they'll look for another omega?"

"That's hard to say."

Wen Yan heard their conversation clearly. As he was about to take the subway, he noticed the alpha's car parked outside.

The driver stood by the car door and greeted him respectfully when he saw him.

Wen Yan looked around, saw no colleagues, and quickly got into the car.

"Did Chuanwu send you?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

"Don't come tomorrow; I can take the subway myself."

The driver looked troubled, "But Mr. Lin instructed that from now on, I must pick you up and drop you off. If I fail, I might lose my job."

Wen Yan pursed his lips.

Previously, the alpha also had the driver pick him up, but after Wen Yan said he didn't want his colleagues to find it strange, the alpha didn't force him. But this time…

Back home, Wen Yan stood outside the hunting ground for a while. The wolf mother still wouldn't let the wolf cubs near Wen Yan, so he could only watch them from a distance. They grew quickly and could now pounce and bite, rolling around playfully.

Watching them, Wen Yan couldn't help but imagine that if he and the alpha's baby could be born, maybe when it grew up, the baby could play with them on the grass.

Just thinking about it released dopamine in his brain.

But…

Entering the living room, he found that today's dinner was especially rich, all of Wen Yan's favorites.

Now Wen Yan knew the mute woman was called Wang Chunzhi. She initially took care of Lin Chuanwu's grandmother, and after the grandmother passed away, she followed Lin Chuanwu here to take care of him.

Wen Yan remembered his first visit here, feeling it was terrifying and eerie, with prison-like decor, a mute maid, and scary pets. But what scared Wen Yan the most was the owner of the place.

Half a year later, he was no longer afraid of it.

Wen Yan thanked Wang Chunzhi and invited her to sit and eat, but she shook her head and went into the kitchen, leaving Wen Yan to eat alone.

Lying in bed, Wen Yan watched the news for a while.

He quickly realized who Chang Jing and Liu Ren were discussing after work.

It was Cheng Xiangyu from the Cheng Group, who, like Lin Chuanwu, took over the family business at a young age. After marrying an omega, everyone expected them to have a top alpha or omega, but his wife gave birth to a beta.

Since then, there had been much discussion online, and news reports often said that because his wife gave birth to an omega, she was treated coldly by her in-laws.

Unexpectedly, the second child was also a beta.

Such large family businesses are like the cruel animal world; if you have a less outstanding offspring, your possessions will be coveted…

Many wealthy people are keen on having children to have more and choose the best to secure their business…

Even a quality omega can give birth to a beta, so as a beta, the chances of having a beta are even higher. If he has a beta, Lin Chuanwu's uncle and his uncle's two sons will definitely not behave.

And Lin Chuanwu, having grown up in a family of open and covert struggles, should be more aware of the cruelty…

When Lin Chuanwu returned, Wen Yan was still awake.

After showering, Lin Chuanwu lay beside him, his handsome face showing no emotion, just looking at him.

Wen Yan, suppressing his embarrassment, touched his brow bone, which was hard and a bit rough.

Wen Yan suddenly wondered if the baby would look like him or like Lin Chuanwu.

Then he quickly became gloomy.

"Not happy."

"No…"

"I can take the subway myself." Wen Yan thought for a moment, not wanting his colleagues to see.

"Alright." Lin Chuanwu pinched his face, "I'll have Qiu Yi fire him."

"I don't know if he can find a job at his age."

"I feel like the subway is crowded lately, taking the car is fine too." Wen Yan forced a smile.

Lin Chuanwu tightened his grip on his face, his eyes dark.

"Chuanwu…" Wen Yan felt the pain.

"Does it hurt?"

Wen Yan indulgently stared at him, not answering.

Lin Chuanwu didn't want to let go; he just wanted to hurt Wen Yan.

Still no intention of telling him.

Always lying, hiding things.

Seeing the white skin he pinched turn red, Lin Chuanwu's heart tightened, and he let go, burying his head in Wen Yan's neck.

"Come with me to see Grandpa tomorrow."

"Okay."

Wen Yan gently hugged his head.

*

Grandpa Lin's arm was almost healed, and he planned to return to the sanatorium.

Lin Xiangyi, Weng Yuzhu, and Lin Wuyou's family all came.

"I told you I can manage on my own, but you insisted on coming. Now you're all here, making my head hurt," Grandpa Lin grumbled.

Seeing Lin Chuanwu bring Wen Yan in, he beamed with joy.

"Xiao Yan, you came too?"

Lin Wanfu and Lin Chengyi couldn't help but roll their eyes, "Grandpa's face changes too fast."

After saying that, they felt a chill all over, realizing Lin Chuanwu had glanced at them.

The two immediately stood at attention, not daring to move their eyes.

Back at the sanatorium, Lin Xiangyi packed Grandpa Lin's things.

Lin Chengyi, flipping through his phone, suddenly laughed, "Cheng Xiangyu's wife had another beta, two betas now. Cheng Xiangyu's uncle's two sons must be thrilled."

Lin Xiangyi, making Grandpa Lin's bed, paused, "If they can't have an alpha, they should just divorce."

Lin Xiangyi continued, looking in Wen Yan's direction, "And those who can't have children…"

Before he could finish, a cane struck his back hard, and Grandpa Lin scolded him, "You call yourself educated, but do you think marriage is just for having an alpha?"

Lin Xiangyi retorted, "Dad, I'm not a kid anymore, and you're still hitting me."

"Actually, big brother is right. In an ordinary family, a beta is fine, but in our family, with such a large business, only an alpha can inherit."

Wen Yan stayed in the corner, head down, looking a bit pale.

Lin Chuanwu watched him, finally guessing his worries.

His handsome face immediately tensed, "Only an alpha can inherit?"

"But I don't think so."

"In my years of work, I've met alphas that make me wonder how they survived, while betas have impressed me."

Wen Yan looked up, staring at the speaking alpha.

His hands and feet warmed slightly.

Lin Wanfu and Lin Chengyi exchanged glances, feeling Lin Chuanwu was implying something about them.

Lin Wuyou also felt Lin Chuanwu was implying something about him, but he didn't dare say anything.

"I feel like you all are more ignorant than I am," Grandpa Lin guessed they were deliberately speaking for Wen Yan to hear, and he comfortingly pressed Wen Yan's hand.

"If it's an alpha but selfish and narrow-minded, what good is being an alpha? I wouldn't choose such a person to inherit my business. Even if it's a beta, if they're kind, brave, responsible, and empathetic, I would value them."

Grandpa Lin's hand was rough and heavy, giving Wen Yan a sense of security.

"Alright, you all can leave now. I'm tired." Grandpa Lin began to shoo them away, pointing at Lin Xiangyi and Lin Wuyou, "You two, don't come to see me for a while."

Lin Xiangyi gritted his teeth, secretly rolling his eyes at Wen Yan.

Only to receive a warning look from Lin Chuanwu.

Lin Xiangyi quickly retracted his half-rolled eyes.

*

Back home, Wen Yan was cleaned by the alpha and then carried to bed.

Wen Yan's skin was steamed pink by the water vapor, his cheeks a soft pink like peach blossoms.

And Lin Chuanwu, like a wolf cub nursing, nestled at his chest, sucking continuously.

After Lin Chuanwu had enough, Wen Yan gently cupped his face, lowering his eyes, a bit nervous and expectant as he looked at him.

"Chuanwu, would you be unhappy if we had a beta?"

"No."

Lin Chuanwu feared that if he answered slowly, Wen Yan would think he didn't like it.

Then Lin Chuanwu swallowed, hoping Wen Yan would tell him directly.

Tell him directly that he was pregnant with his baby.

But Wen Yan just smiled shyly, his eyes sparkling.

"Then let's sleep."

Wen Yan seemed to have lifted a burden, falling asleep quickly.

Lin Chuanwu couldn't sleep.

He guessed Wen Yan was afraid of having a beta, which was why he hid it from him. But he had already said he wouldn't mind, so why not tell him directly?

In the following days, Lin Chuanwu kept a close watch on Wen Yan's whereabouts, mostly between the company and home, until Saturday afternoon, after a meeting with a client, the person he sent to watch Wen Yan called to report.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Wen's current route seems to be heading to the hospital."

Lin Chuanwu, driving, opened the tracker on his phone.

The route was heading towards the City First Hospital.

City First Hospital was a well-known abortion hospital in Beijing.

Lin Chuanwu's expression darkened.

He initially guessed Wen Yan didn't tell him because he feared having a beta, but even after he clearly expressed he wouldn't be unhappy about a beta, Wen Yan still didn't tell him.

He had been waiting…

Maybe Wen Yan never planned to tell him; he was just looking for a chance to abort their child…

Saying he wouldn't leave him was probably just a lie during his susceptible period…

Every day was exhausting; it would be easier to just lock him up…

Lin Chuanwu accelerated.
