Inferior A After Having a Baby with the Top Boss 40p1

Chapter 40: Pheromone Guidance p1

Although her knowledge of differentiation was limited, combined with the supplementary explanation that followed, the so-called pheromone guidance and co-regulation weren’t difficult to understand.

Ming Fei was stunned.

She even suspected that she had misheard, because… judging from Zhu Yiqiao’s expression, she didn’t seem to be against pheromone guidance.

As they looked at each other in silence, Ming Fei’s chaotic thoughts gradually cleared.

She first asked the most important question: “…Jiejie, I want to know why the doctors in this world would make such a judgment? Do they know about the existence of the Ole Empire?”

Zhu Yiqiao’s tone remained unchanged, as if she was stating a commonplace fact.

“Mm.”

“Not them, but a very small number of people, led by the King.”

“Dr. Tang, who diagnosed your condition, is the chief researcher at the National Academy of Sciences, and also my personal physician.”

She continued unhurriedly, “Besides us, there are other transmigrators from different space-times in this world, such as Xue Xun, whom you met at the hotel in Taiya. She comes from a post-apocalyptic world.”

Ming Fei, suddenly receiving so much important information, completely forgot about pheromone guidance.

She asked uncertainly, “The end of the world?”

“Mm.”

Ming Fei had read several classic apocalyptic novels and knew that this world had experienced a virus crisis a hundred years ago, but when asked to imagine a real apocalypse, she still shook her head with pity.

Because life was precious, respectable, and supremely important.

After learning that Xue Xun actually came from a post-apocalyptic world, she expressed her admiration from the bottom of her heart: “Ms. Xue is truly amazing.”

After saying that, she remembered the most crucial matter, the tips of her porcelain-white ears tinged with a light glaze pink.

“…Jiejie, is pheromone guidance the only option?”

“Mm.”

Ming Fei didn’t even dare to look at her. After all, the previous practice and intimacy were just an act, clearly stipulated in the contract. Every time they practiced or put on an act, she required herself to be a dutiful Party B, completing all tasks based on fulfilling her obligations seriously.

And pheromone guidance was an additional need of hers as Party B, not included in the contract.

Zhu Yiqiao had no obligation to help her.

Ming Fei tentatively asked, “Will there be any life-threatening danger if I don’t undergo pheromone guidance?”

Zhu Yiqiao asked in return, “What if there isn’t?”

Ming Fei’s eyes lit up: “Then there’s no need for guidance. I’ll find a way to adjust myself.”

Zhu Yiqiao, standing three steps away, looked down at Ming Fei. Her gaze swept over Ming Fei’s bandaged palm, and she suddenly remembered the scene in the hovercar.

The alpha, who should have lost control, didn’t hesitate to injure herself to maintain her consciousness and rationality, and even comforted her.

This was very much in line with… the impression Skwiatowy had left on her.

Meeting again in a different space-time after nearly thirteen years, she wasn’t actually as calm and indifferent as she appeared. After all… Skwiatowy was different from other friends in her heart.

Intelligent.

Gentle.

Delicate.

A thirteen-year-old girl who could be described with these words, and who hadn’t even differentiated yet. And because of the three-year age difference, she had treated Skwiatowy as a little sister who needed protection.

She had even thought, in the eleventh month of knowing her, that if they had the chance to meet in the future, after Skwiatowy differentiated into an omega, she would definitely give her a gun and teach her how to use it to protect herself before leaving.

But she hadn’t expected—

That Skwiatowy would differentiate into an alpha, and that in their first meeting in the Independent State of Yi Meng, Skwiatowy would point a gun at her head.

“Jiejie.”

The voice of the person in front of her brought Zhu Yiqiao back to her thoughts, and then the question came again.

“…Can I really do that?”

Zhu Yiqiao felt that Ming Fei’s thoughts were really easy to guess.

Her emotions and thoughts were all written in her eyes, and sometimes even directly on her face.

Like now, Ming Fei’s eyes were filled with a smile, the joy of not needing pheromone guidance, and even a hint of expectation for her affirmation.

And these smiles and expectations vanished with her next answer.

“—No.”

She explained, “Pheromone guidance is the best solution at the moment. If you don’t undergo guidance and let your pheromones remain in an extreme state, it might induce pheromone disorders and other pheromone-related illnesses.”

The burning hope was extinguished.

Ming Fei still clung to the remaining spark, trying to find other solutions.

“Does Dr. Tang think pheromone guidance is possible between two alphas?”

“Yes.”

Ming Fei, forced into a corner, her clear almond eyes filled with complex and difficult emotions, didn’t hide her doubts, but asked directly,

“Then… why is Jiejie willing to help me?”

“Although I don’t know the specific steps of pheromone guidance, I remember the teacher saying that it’s a rather intimate pheromone contact, and Jiejie just said that it would be accompanied by some intimate contact if necessary.”

Zhu Yiqiao asked in return, “Do you need a reason?”

Ming Fei explained, “Because Jiejie has helped me so many times, but I haven’t really helped Jiejie, and… you also added a new rule prohibiting me from releasing pheromones in front of you before. I thought you hated my pheromone scent, so I wanted to understand the reason.”

“If it’s a mutually beneficial exchange of help, even if you don’t guide me, I would be very willing to help you.”

Zhu Yiqiao calmly looked at Ming Fei.

She didn’t plan to tell Ming Fei now that she was One Raccoon Hill from “Supporters of the Rose,” because after her omega mother changed her identity, everything belonging to Eloris had been erased.

Including the identity of One Raccoon Hill.

This wasn’t part of her plan back then. Her original plan was indeed to fake her death, change her identity, and apply to the Southern Military Academy, but she hadn’t planned to disappear from Tree of Mystical Jade’s world.

But her mother had arranged everything for her before she died, and she hadn’t had time to tell the housekeeper who sent her away—that she wanted to keep one account, at least for one more day.

Before she could make this request, all the data had been erased as quickly as possible by the people her mother had arranged.

At that time, the matter was settled, and she could only try to register a new account on “Supporters of the Rose” after settling down at the Southern Military Academy and find Tree of Mystical Jade to explain the reason for her disappearance.

But when she logged into “Supporters of the Rose,” she found that Tree of Mystical Jade’s account… had been deleted.

From then on, the orange cat avatar and the white dog avatar never lit up again in the snowy nights, worlds apart.

Now, a long time had passed, and she wasn’t sure what telling Ming Fei her identity would bring.

Happiness or sadness.

Surprise or shock.

Faced with this uncertainty, she decided to keep it a secret and not disturb Ming Fei’s current life.

When Ming Zaozao returned to the villa, she was greeted by Ming Fei’s gentle smile.

The cold wind blew, flipping up the hood of Ming Zaozao’s coat. She ran towards Ming Fei, the little panda backpack behind her swinging its long tail, and the ears on both sides flapping in the wind.

“Mommy!!”

Ming Fei picked her up, her eyes crinkling with a smile: “Zaozao has grown taller.”

“Mm-hmm!” Ming Zaozao proudly raised her head. “Baby has grown two centimeters. Auntie Manman said that Baby will grow another twenty centimeters soon!”

“Wow.” Ming Fei pretended to be amazed. “So amazing.”

Ming Zaozao’s round eyes curved into crescents with her smile, her dimples deepening. As Ming Fei raised her hand to readjust her hat, she gave Ming Fei a kiss on the cheek.

“Baby missed Mommy so much.”

Ming Fei said, “I missed Zaozao very much too.”

Ming Zaozao became even happier, chattering about the new toys she had received recently all the way, and only noticing the white gauze on Ming Fei’s palm after entering the living room.

Both mother and daughter sat on the sofa.

Ming Zaozao frowned with worry: “Mommy, what happened here?”

Of course, Ming Fei couldn’t tell Ming Zaozao that she had intentionally cut herself. So, she decided to make up a white lie to divert Ming Zaozao’s attention and make her happier.

“I accidentally fell, it will be completely healed in a few days.”

Ming Zaozao’s face crumpled, the smile in her eyes instantly disappearing.

She held Ming Fei’s injured left hand, then lowered her head and blew on it, murmuring softly,

“Blow, blow, pain fly away.”

“Mommy, no more pain.”

Ming Fei’s heart softened, and she pinched her daughter’s little round face with her other hand.

The usually quiet 008 was recording this moment with its recording function. 0619 was patrolling the villa area outside in the garden. Zhu Yiqiao, having finished her urgent official business, happened to see this scene as she came downstairs.

She stopped in her tracks.

At the same time, Ming Fei, noticing Zhu Yiqiao from the corner of her eye, greeted her calmly.

“Jiejie, are you done with your work?”

Zhu Yiqiao replied, “Mm.”

Ming Zaozao also looked over: “Pretty Auntie, Baby is back!”

Zhu Yiqiao walked towards them: “Zaozao, did you have fun at Auntie Min Man’s house?”

“Super fun~”

Ming Zaozao, having blown away the pain, got down from the sofa and reached out to Zhu Yiqiao, wanting to be held.

Zhu Yiqiao picked her up.

Then—

Ming Zaozao asked softly, “Auntie, when did Mommy fall?”

Ming Fei winked at Zhu Yiqiao, hinting that she should say two days ago.

Zhu Yiqiao said softly, “Two days ago.”

Ming Zaozao nodded, seemingly still worried about it, and even said to Zhu Yiqiao,

“Auntie, next time you go to work with Mommy, can you help remind Mommy?”

“Mommy is very afraid of pain, super afraid of pain, Baby doesn’t want her to get hurt.”

Zhu Yiqiao replied, “Okay.”

“Then pinky promise!”

“Mm.”

Ming Fei, watching them make a pinky promise, felt a little embarrassed by her daughter secretly saying that she was super afraid of pain.

But it was true.

Her pain receptors were more sensitive than ordinary people’s. Ordinary pain felt several times stronger on her, so much so that during the time her gland was injured, every time the pain flared up, it would torment her to tears.

Fortunately, the other people in the ward knew that the pain level of a damaged gland was the highest, and even painkillers were useless against it.

So no one said she was a crybaby, and the nurse would even give her an extra pack of wet wipes to wipe her face.
