Inferior A After Having a Baby with the Top Boss 58

Chapter 58: Zhu Yiqiao: “Ming Fei, I’m an Omega.”

Ming Fei was a little dumbfounded.

At this moment, she really did resemble the little ceramic cat question mark on the bedside table.

She wasn’t surprised that the Ole Empire concealed this important treatment method, it’s just… she was in the Independent State of Yi Meng now, and the people in this world didn’t have glands or pheromones, let alone omegas.

Moreover, marking was a very intimate act.

This method didn’t seem to improve her current predicament.

Ming Fei smiled faintly: “I understand, thank you, Dr. Tang.”

Dr. Tang coughed again, subtly observing Zhu Yiqiao’s expression. Just as she was about to reveal a little more information, Zhu Yiqiao looked over, her eyes as calm as a still well, yet with a deeper meaning.

Seeing this, Dr. Tang sighed inwardly.

She thought, so she wasn’t planning to reveal it?

But she felt that Colonel Zhu was quite concerned about Ming Fei, and Colonel Zhu’s pheromone levels were almost at their limit. If she continued using suppressants, the situation might become tricky.

However, she still respected their decisions and didn’t say anything.

“You’re welcome, then I’ll be going now.”

After Ming Fei said goodbye to Dr. Tang, the master bedroom fell silent again. Perhaps because she had slept for too long, she felt a little dizzy. She closed her eyes and opened them again, and the dizziness subsided.

“…Jiejie.”

“Mm.”

Actually, she still had a few questions for Zhu Yiqiao, but after glancing at her clothes, she chose the most important one.

“Jiejie, are your injuries from back then all healed?”

She remembered that Zhu Yiqiao had been seriously injured at the time, blood everywhere, so much so that she had given her gun to Ming Fei.

Zhu Yiqiao replied, “Healed.”

Ming Fei’s lips curved into a happy smile: “That’s good. I want to take a shower.”

“Okay.” Zhu Yiqiao paused. “Can you manage on your own?”

Hearing this, Ming Fei immediately reassured her, “Of course, I’m fine now.”

“Mm, if anything happens, just ask 0619 to call me.”

“Okay.”

The security door opened and closed again. Ming Fei got out of bed and almost lost her balance the moment her feet touched the ground. She held onto the bedside table for a minute. After regaining her strength, she took her clothes and went into the bathroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, she cupped some warm water and washed her face. Crystal water droplets flowed down her cheeks, wetting the hair by her ears.

Her reflection in the mirror was pale, with a sickly and haggard look.

She patted her face lightly, thinking that she couldn’t video call Ming Zaozao like this, because Detective Ming Zaozao would definitely notice something was wrong.

The bathroom was filled with steam, giving Ming Fei’s face a touch of color.

After showering and drying her hair, Ming Fei looked at her face in the mirror again. To prevent Ming Zaozao from noticing anything, she added a filter before initiating the video call.

She originally chose a tiger filter, but somehow, the moment Ming Zaozao answered, it changed to a kitten filter.

This filter didn’t completely change her appearance, but added some features. Ming Fei on the screen had a pair of virtual cat ears, her cheeks automatically tinged with two apricot pink clouds, and a few cat whiskers were drawn on her face. The whole screen looked very cute.

Ming Zaozao exclaimed in awe, little stars lighting up in her eyes.

“Mommy turned into a kitten!”

Ming Fei didn’t know why it changed. This was her first time using this filter in a video call, but since it was Ming Zaozao on the other end, she left the filter on.

“It’s because of the filter.” She asked softly, “Zaozao, are you having fun at Auntie Min Man’s house?”

Ming Zaozao lowered her head, fiddling with something, muttering to herself.

“Fun, Baby saw a pink lamb!”

As Ming Zaozao finished fiddling and looked at the camera with her hands cupping her face, Ming Fei’s filter happened to change from a kitten to a lamb.

“Wow! Baa baa sheep~”

After discovering that this filter seemed to change from time to time, Ming Fei also joked,

“Now it’s a lamb, what will it be next?”

“Lamb is cute! Mommy is cute!” Ming Zaozao took out a puppy plush toy. “Baby guesses, the next one is woof woof woof!”

Ming Fei was charmed by her: “Then I guess it’s a little bear.”

But neither of them guessed correctly. After the lamb came a bunny filter. Ming Fei on the display screen had fluffy bunny ears, even her eyes had automatically turned red, and there were cartoon carrots around her as decoration.

Ming Zaozao’s eyes crinkled into crescents with laughter, revealing her sweet dimples.

“It’s a bunny~”

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, until finally, the puppy filter appeared. Ming Fei’s puppy ears were white, and her eyes were even rounder because of the filter. When she waved goodbye after hanging up, her hand also turned into a white puppy paw.

And during this twenty-minute video call, Kitten Ming Fei, Lamb Ming Fei, Bunny Ming Fei, Fox Ming Fei… and finally Puppy Ming Fei, were all saved by Ming Zaozao, who had figured out the automatic screenshot function.

She sat on the carpet, assembling her toy gun, and said,

“Flower, help Baby put Mommy’s pictures into Baby’s camera.”

008, which had come along: “Okay, Baby ^^”

Thinking of something, Ming Zaozao picked up her milk bottle and drank from it, then said crisply,

“Send them to Auntie too.”

008 asked, “Baby, send all the saved pictures and videos?”

The generous Ming Zaozao nodded: “Mm-hmm! To Auntie!”

After the sky completely darkened, Ming Fei’s stomach started rumbling.

She went down to the dining room on the first floor and saw Zhu Yiqiao sitting at the head of the table. Zhu Yiqiao was looking sideways at the flowers in the garden, her profile cold and beautiful.

Ming Fei walked to her side: “Are you looking at the Blue Fia lilies?”

“Mm.”

“Jiejie, do you still remember ‘Records of Ancient Mountains’?”

Zhu Yiqiao met her gaze: “I do.”

Ming Fei smiled: “In ‘Records of Ancient Mountains,’ there’s a mountain that’s covered with blue lilies every evening. And in the early morning of the next day, the blue lilies wither and bloom into another kind of flower with no scent or color.”

Zhu Yiqiao: “Qi Blue Mountain.”

The Blue Fia lilies in the garden bloomed even more brilliantly, and the smile in Ming Fei’s eyes deepened.

“Yes, Qi Blue Mountain.”

It was as if they were back in their teens, discussing the vast world through their communicators on “Supporters of the Rose.” The smile in Ming Fei’s eyes was almost overflowing, but she didn’t realize it, and Zhu Yiqiao, who had just received the photos and videos, took in her smile.

Ming Fei explained, “The first time I heard about the Blue Fia lily, I thought of the blue lilies on Qi Blue Mountain. But because it’s only sold in Silla, I’ve never actually seen it before. Thank you, Jiejie, for letting me see this.”

Zhu Yiqiao not only remembered Qi Blue Mountain, but also the blue lilies on Qi Blue Mountain, which symbolized endless life, completely opposite to the meaning of the Blue Fia lily.

“Ding—”

0619’s notification sound interrupted their thoughts.

Zhu Yiqiao glanced at the contact’s note and said calmly, “Answer.”

0619’s display screen switched to the video call page, and it was Dr. Tang, who had just left.

“Hi~ Good evening.”

Dr. Tang, wearing a white coat, said, “I have good news and bad news, which one do you two want to hear first?”

Zhu Yiqiao looked at Ming Fei, and Ming Fei was also looking at her. As their eyes met, a rose next to the Blue Fia lilies fell.

Zhu Yiqiao asked, “Which one do you want to hear first?”

Ming Fei shook her head: “Jiejie, you choose.”

“It’s related to your gland pain, you decide.”

Ming Fei paused: “Okay, then I want to hear the good news first.”

The camera wobbled, and Dr. Tang held up a light green reagent: “The good news is—I found a medicine that might alleviate your pain.”

Hope rekindled in Ming Fei’s eyes.

“However, this medicine has certain side effects. It will make you sleepier than usual and also have negative effects on other organs in your body. Overall, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.”

Ming Fei pursed her lips: “Then what’s the bad news?”

Dr. Tang’s smile faded, and her expression became more serious: “The bad news is rather bad, because your situation is different. After your gland was damaged, you developed pheromones again, which means that if the pain isn’t addressed, it will most likely further aggravate the pheromone disorder, and might even cause lesions in your gland.”

“That’s the current situation, I hope you’ll consider it carefully.”

The hope in Ming Fei’s eyes was instantly extinguished.

At the same time, there seemed to be a signal problem on Dr. Tang’s end. The video froze for half a minute, then the call disconnected. Lost in thought, Ming Fei lost her appetite for dinner and didn’t even ask the questions she had prepared.

The table was full of delicious-looking dishes, but she only tasted the vegetables in front of her, ate half a bowl of rice, and then put down her chopsticks.

“Jiejie, I’m full, you eat slowly.”

Just as she stood up to leave, Zhu Yiqiao’s voice stopped her.

“Come to the study in an hour.”

Ming Fei didn’t ask why, assuming Zhu Yiqiao wanted to discuss solutions: “Okay.”

Her thoughts were a little chaotic, because everything had happened so suddenly, leaving her with very little time to process. She almost bumped into the door as she left. She walked all the way to the craft room, pushed the door open, and sat down in front of the pottery wheel, planning to use pottery to calm her mind.

Her hands were deft. As she molded the clay, a lifelike little bird came to life.

This method was indeed very effective for her, and her mood gradually calmed down. After leaving the small bird embryo to dry for a while, she started firing it ten minutes later.

Bisque firing took a long time.

The previous steps had already taken nearly an hour. Ming Fei went into the bathroom to wash her hands, took a deep breath, patted her face, forced a smile, and then left for the study on the third floor.

The corridor on the third floor was quiet.

When the sensor relayed her arrival to the villa’s highest authority, the security door opened automatically. Ming Fei stepped into the private domain of the highest authority and saw Zhu Yiqiao at the desk.

She softly said, “…Jiejie.”

“Mm.” Zhu Yiqiao unclasped her pheromone bracelet. “Come here.”

Ming Fei walked over silently, her unhappiness written all over her face, difficult to hide even with a forced smile. So Zhu Yiqiao didn’t hesitate, releasing her pheromones the moment Ming Fei approached.

Cedar and fir trees surrounded Ming Fei, and Zhu Yiqiao asked slowly,

“Do you feel it?”

Ming Fei blinked, thinking that Zhu Yiqiao’s pheromones seemed a little strange today. Could it be… a heat cycle?

But it didn’t quite match the usual signs of a heat cycle.

She hesitated: “Jiejie, is it a nesting period?”

The nesting period, as the name suggested, was a nesting behavior that occurred in alphas or omegas. The nesting period was irregular, sometimes occurring before a heat cycle, sometimes accompanying it, and sometimes after it.

It would make an alpha or omega more dependent on their partner, and this dependence was no less than during a heat cycle.

Wait…!?

Partner?

At this moment, Ming Fei, with her limited knowledge of pheromones, wanted to slap herself, because Zhu Yiqiao didn’t have a partner, hadn’t been marked, and couldn’t possibly have a nesting period.

Just as she was about to deny her answer, the pheromones in the air became even stranger.

The next moment—

The cedar and fir branches swayed. Zhu Yiqiao dropped her final disguise, ripples surging in her blue eyes, a hint of amusement in them, as if she was looking at a butterfly caught in a net.

The butterfly flapped its wings. She should have tightened the net, but as it gradually closed in, she instead completely released it.

She said, word by word, “Ming Fei, I’m an omega.”
