Can Alpha Also Have Babies? QAQ - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 – A Pregnancy Friendly Restaurant

Although Pei Jichuan snatched back the hot and sour noodles in a very mean way, he felt guilty when he noticed Lin Shuangyu’s eager look. In the end, he gave him half of it.

Lin Shuangyu ate his own portion and then half a portion, and was basically full.

But he still had to curse: ‘Bah, you bastard!’

After Lin Shuangyu faceslapped Tian Yuwei with the poster last time, the older employee finally stopped slandering him and Zhu Xin by saying “the intern is this and that”.

But from time to time he would assign his design work to him on the grounds that he was too busy.

He did not throw it to him himself, but went to the team leader and said, “Such an amazing Shuangyu talent cannot be buried” and “Give him more opportunities to practice,” and asked the team leader to agree to let her pass the task to him.

The team leader didn’t know that Lin Shuangyu was only there for a month and was interested in training him, and he thought it was a good idea.

Lin Shuangyu was completely speechless.

When it was time to get off work, Tian Yuwei wanted to dump her work on him again, but Lin Shuangyu made up an excuse to go on a blind date and ran away quickly.

“Blind date? Isn’t he only 22? And he wants to go on a blind date?” Tian Yuwei was puzzled.

Everyone else was speechless. Tian Yuwei didn’t think that Lin Shuangyu was looking for an excuse not to take over her job.

Pei Jichuan’s car was so extravagant that it was completely inhumane, it was all covered in silver. Lin Shuangyu didn’t need to act deliberately, just like a country bumpkin. As soon as he got in the car, he couldn’t help looking around, frantically patching up the scenes that might appear in his future art.

He happily decided to have the character in his art travel to the modern era in a side story, and do some very fast things in a Rolls-Royce…

Dingchuang is close to Luyuan where the Pei family lives, and when they arrived, the others had not yet arrived.

As soon as Pei Jichuan arrived, he was invited by Old Lady Pei to talk. Lin Shuangyu was happy to be free and sat on the sofa in the living room playing with his mobile phone.

After playing for more than ten minutes, the servant ran to open the door and someone came back. This time it was Pei He and Lin Lan.

“Shuangyu, didn’t your cousin come back with you?” Lin Lan came over and asked after changing her shoes.

Lin Shuangyu: “He’s back.”

Lin Lan said, “Hmm?” “Then why don’t I see him?”

They are not conjoined twins. If they don’t see him, he must have gone somewhere else.

“I guess mom called him away,” Pei He continued, “Shuangyu, come to my study.”

Lin Shuangyu paused his game and sure enough, he was called back because of something.

Lin Lan pushed him and told him to hurry. Lin Shuangyu said “Oh”, stood up and followed him into the study.

The door closed, Pei He put his briefcase on the desk and turned around.

He seemed a little at a loss for words. He put his hand to his lips and coughed awkwardly before speaking, “It’s nothing serious that I called you here. It’s just that a few years ago, Uncle Pei said some stupid things to you here. Now that I think about it, I feel really sorry for you. I called you here today to apologize to you. I won’t interfere with you anymore.”

Lin Shuangyu’s hands hanging by his side suddenly tightened.

A few years ago, when he first came to the Pei family, because he was good-looking and had already differentiated into an Alpha, he was favored by the director’s youngest daughter as soon as he transferred to the school. Pei He was afraid that he would become successful overnight, so he had a long talk with him.

From then on, he embarked on the path of a bumpkin, and fell from being a normal person with good relationships and popularity to being despised and disliked by everyone.

Now eight years have passed, and he has become mediocre. No one in Jiangcheng’s upper class circles looks up to him. Maybe Pei He knows that he was “thrown away” to a small department in Pei Jichuan’s company to do auditing.

Pei Jin was already capable of controlling Rip, and his useless stepson with no ability and background could not threaten Pei Jin, so Pei He just casually said that he had “released from prison”.

That’s ridiculous.

“I’m sorry.”

Just as Lin Shuangyu was full of mockery, Pei He actually bent down and bowed deeply to Lin Shuangyu. Lin Shuangyu was startled and quickly moved aside.

What was wrong?

‘Are you trying to force me to forgive you by apologizing so humbly?’

‘That’s really unnecessary. Does it matter whether I forgive you or not?’

Lin Shuangyu sneered inwardly, but on the surface he said politely, “It’s okay, I understand your difficulties.”

“I’m glad you understand,” Pei He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed a task, and waved his hand, “Go, your mother hasn’t seen you for a long time, go out and accompany her.”

Lin Shuangyu turned and left the study.

When Lin Lan saw him come out, she asked him to come over and sit down. She didn’t ask what Pei He had talked to him about, but asked with a smile: “Are you used to working for your eldest cousin?”

Lin Shuangyu was in a complicated mood after Pei He’s actions, and said perfunctorily, “Yes.”

“It’s good that you’re not unhappy. You’ll get used to it slowly. I see you’ve gained some weight. It seems you’ve been in a good mood at work recently, which is why you’re feeling relaxed and healthy.”

“…”

Lin Shuangyu quickly shook off the unpleasantness of the conversation: “Have I really gained a lot of weight?”

“No, you’re just a little fatter than before. It’s good now. You were too thin before.”

Lin Shuangyu was not comforted.

When he tried on the mermaid skirt a few days ago, he felt that his belly had grown a little fatter, but it was not very obvious. After Lin Lan spoke, he felt like he must have gained some weight.

After thinking about it, he still had to blame his mother. It was because the lunch she prepared for Pei Jichuan was so delicious that his appetite became better and better and he could eat more and more. In addition, he didn’t feel anything when he was not wearing women’s clothes, so he fell into depravity.

Lin Shuangyu was in a complicated mood and said to his mother, “From now on, you can deliver lunch to Pei… my eldest cousin, and don’t prepare my portion.”

Starting tomorrow, he would only eat reduced-fat meals for lunch.

Lin Lan: ?

“What lunch…”

“Shuangyu.”

Before Lin Lan could finish her words, someone behind them called Lin Shuangyu’s name. It was Pei Jichuan.

“Young Master.” Lin Lan stood up stiffly, not even daring to call him by his name.

Lin Shuangyu, who was sitting there and responded “What’s the matter, cousin” in a very polite manner, saw his mother like this and suddenly realized that he had unknowingly become so rude to the arrogant Young Master Pei.

Pei Jichuan nodded slightly to Lin Lan, walked over, and handed the car keys to Lin Shuangyu: “Help me go to the car and get the first bottle of red wine on the right side of the wine cabinet in the back seat.”

He was so rude when he ordered him around.

Lin Shuangyu could only go and get the wine for him. He fumbled around in the damn luxury car and searched the little green book for a long time before he found where the wine cabinet was hidden. He really wanted to beat up those evil rich people.

When he returned to Pei’s house with the wine, he found Pei Xingchen chatting with Pei Jichuan with a smile on his face, calling him “cousin” in a very intimate manner. His voice was as gentle and moist as the spring breeze, and even the coldest heart could not help but melt quietly.

Unlike Lin Shuangyu, who always calls his cousin “brother” without any emotion, just perfunctorily, and sometimes even spat and called him a bastard in his heart.

Lin Shuangyu was about to walk in when he was stopped by Butler Jin.

“Second Young Master Lin,” Butler Jin said in a falsely polite tone, “Third Young Master and First Young Master Pei are discussing something. Please rest in the small living room for a while.”

Lin Shuangyu said “Oh” and handed the wine in his hand to Butler Jin: “This is for Master… Master Pei.”

Butler Jin took it and said, “Okay, Second Young Master.”

In the living room, Pei Xingchen found topics to chat with Pei Jichuan in a polite and respectful manner.

“Brother, I heard that my second brother went to work at your place. Is that true?”

Pei Jichuan heard the sound of a door opening outside and said “hmm” nonchalantly.

“I’m going to be doing an internship soon. Can I come work for you?”

Pei Jichuan: “It’s up to you.”

Pei Xingchen tried hard to promote himself in front of his aloof cousin.

“Then can I be your assistant? My brother said your assistant team is very strong and I can learn a lot from it. I can drink quite well, so you can take me with you to any social events in the future. It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.”

He has natural advantages in appearance and gender. Whenever his father and brother take him out for social events, he always makes others particularly like and tolerate him. Sometimes, when he acts coquettishly and cutely, he always has an advantage.

Half a minute later, Pei Jichuan only saw the butler come in with the wine he ordered, his face slightly gloomy.

“Where is he?” Pei Jichuan asked coldly.

Butler Jin wanted to play dumb, but under Pei Jichuan’s sharp gaze, everything he said seemed to be exposed, and the truth came out.

“Second Young Master… The second Young Master went to the yard.”

When Pei Xingchen heard the word “Second Young Master”, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. He wanted to turn Pei Jichuan’s attention back to him, and his voice became more and more sweet and sweet: “Cousin, can you…?”

“There’s a recruitment notice on the company’s official website. Submit your resume and apply,” Pei Jichuan said as he stood up and walked out. “HR will tell you if you’re qualified.”

Pei Xingchen: “…………”

Lin Shuangyu found a secluded place in the yard, took out his mobile phone to play a game, and saw that Cong Tingxue had sent him several messages a few minutes ago.

[Cong Tingxue: Bao’er, what do you think of my outfit? ]

【Cong Tingxue: [Picture]】

[Cong Tingxue: Elite or not?]

Cong Tingxue posted a photo of him wearing a gray business suit.

【Whatever: What do you want to do again? 】

[Cong Tingxue: Play at work (crying)]

[Cong Tingxue: I envy you so much for being able to work for your idol. Even if you can’t see him, you can breathe the same air as him every day, and your working hours are sweet.]

【Whatever:…】

[Whatever: He’s more human than a rock in a cesspool. I think you should take a few more sips of durian to clear your mind.]

“What are you doing, squatting here?”

Just as Lin Shuangyu uttered this sentence, the real person’s voice suddenly sounded from behind him, startling him.

“Cousin…cousin, why are you here?”

“Why can’t I be here?” Pei Jichuan asked back.

‘If you weren’t busy communicating with your charming cousin who is of the same clan and surname as you, you certainly shouldn’t have appeared in front of me, your fake cousin.’

Lin Shuangyu chose to answer his first question: “It’s too stuffy inside, I came out for some fresh air here.”

“You don’t like it here.” Pei Jichuan said in an affirmative tone.

Lin Shuangyu was about to quibble when he heard Pei Jichuan say coldly, “I don’t like it either.”

“……” Was he testing him again?

Lin Shuangyu had a little PTSD because of him, and he didn’t understand what kind of test routine the older man was using, so he simply chose to remain silent.

‘If I don’t say anything, what can you do to me?’

Pei Jichuan looked at him and thought that the more he talked, the more mistakes he would make. Although he was obviously no match for Pei Xingchen in terms of appearance and personality, he still liked him very much.

“Let’s go.” Pei Jichuan turned around and walked towards the door.

Lin Shuangyu blinked: “Where are we going, cousin?”

“If you don’t like it, don’t force yourself to stay here.”

Lin Shuangyu didn’t move, and even said in a very stereotypical manner: “No, cousin, I don’t dislike it here.”

Pei Jichuan turned around, folded his arms and looked at Lin Shuangyu: “Are you worried that your mother will have a hard time?”

Lin Shuangyu thought to himself that it was nonsense. If he didn’t want to embarrass Lin Lan, he would have run away when the housekeeper told him not to disturb him. Who the hell would still choose to suffer this kind of humiliation?

“This worry is completely unnecessary. She is now the head lady of the Pei family and holds an extraordinary position. No one can make things difficult for her.”

Lin Shuangyu was slightly shocked.

Indeed, those people in the Pei family were only rude to him, a young master from another family, but they were still very respectful to Lin Lan, a proper lady.

Pei He had been taking good care of Lin Lan over the years, taking her with him to every occasion, allowing her to quickly gain a foothold in the circle of wealthy ladies. She has long been integrated into the Pei family and did not need any extra sacrifices from him.

“Do you want to leave?” Pei Jichuan asked him.

Lin Shuangyu hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Whoever wants to stay in the Pei family can stay there.

What surprised Lin Shuangyu was that when they heard that he and Pei Jichuan had left together, the people in the Pei family didn’t dare to say a word, let alone blame him or express anger.

It really is good to have a superior status.

Pei Jichuan took Lin Shuangyu to find a place to eat.

Lin Shuangyu originally wanted to control his appetite and lose weight, but the pickled fish was so delicious that he accidentally finished two bowls of rice.

After eating, he didn’t dare open his eyes to look at his belly which seemed to be even bigger. He desperately hoped that it was an illusion.

At this time, the waiter came in with a tray with a cute little cake on it.

The waiter put down the tray and placed the small cake in front of Lin Shuangyu.

Lin Shuangyu was puzzled: “Did we order this?”

The waiter smiled and said, “This is for you, and this one is for your husband.”

The waiter handed another brochure to Pei Jichuan.

Pei Jichuan looked at the words above, and his usually cold pupils trembled.

There were only a few words written on the cover – Handbook for expectant fathers to take care of pregnant partners.

“We are a pregnancy-friendly restaurant, and this is a benefit we provide to every expectant father and mother.”

Lin Shuangyu: ???

Lin Shuangyu’s expression was as shocked as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked down in disbelief at his belly, which was actually not very obvious.

“Do I look pregnant?”

Seeing his reaction, the waiter realized that there was a mistake and stammered, “No, you aren’t?”

She watched him eat the sour food with great gusto, and his stomach… yes! stomach!

“When I was pregnant with my daughter, my belly was just like yours. Were you and your husband careless and didn’t even notice that you are pregnant?”

Lin Shuangyu said with a wooden face: “I am an Alpha.”

The waiter:”……”

Lin Shuangyu pointed at Pei Jichuan and said, “He is my eldest cousin.”

The waiter:”…………”

Ha ha.

Hahaha.

Goodbye, Mom. She is going to run away with the Earth on her shoulders overnight.
