IMAO Chapter 29.2

Under Ma Lin and the others’ urging, the task of escorting Mu An back to school fell on Armand’s shoulders. Armand couldn’t be more delighted!

As Mu An was about to leave with Armand, after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back towards Jiang Yuan and the others who were still standing there.

“Jiang Yuan!”

Jiang Yuan, startled at hearing his name called, turned around with a bewildered expression. “Is… is there something else?”

Mu An hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, “Jiang Yuan, I just called a friend of mine who’s studying medicine. I think there’s something you should know!”

Jiang Yuan: “?”

As an Omega with a keen eye for detail and having recently been cheated on, Mu An naturally understood the inconsistencies in the situation better than the Alphas and Betas who were confused by today’s events. After coming downstairs earlier, he had some time to ponder and called his friend to confirm his suspicions.

Mu An took another deep breath. Although what he was about to say would be hurtful, he knew the feeling of being cheated on. Seeing Jiang Yuan busy dealing with the mess those two had created, he felt even more indignant on Jiang Yuan’s behalf. He truly didn’t want Jiang Yuan to be deceived without knowing the full truth.

Even if one is cheated on, it shouldn’t be in a state of confusion!

Just thinking about those two dogs of an Alpha and Omega currently going at it in the room Jiang Yuan had helped arrange upstairs made Mu An feel angry for Jiang Yuan. As fellow victims of infidelity, he felt a sense of kinship.

Jiang Yuan lowered his gaze to look at Mu An, waiting for him to continue.

Mu An took another deep breath and went on, “After an Omega reaches full maturity, they have a heat cycle every month. The age of maturity for Omegas is generally around 18, give or take a small margin.”

Jiang Yuan nodded; he was familiar with this information from the original owner’s memories.

“The first heat after turning 18 is called the initial heat. When the body starts releasing faint pheromones, as long as suppressants are injected in time, the Omega won’t go into heat. Of course, there are exceptions where some Omegas might go into heat due to improper use of suppressants for the first time.

“Your brother just said he slept with that guy called Song Yirui because of his heat, and even got pregnant! Pregnant Omegas don’t go into heat!”

Jiang Yuan: “…”

Mu An secretly glanced at Jiang Yuan, and seeing no extreme reaction, he continued, “Now, the problem is, whether your brother is pregnant or not, Jiang Yuan, you’ve been thoroughly cheated on…”

Jiang Yuan: “?”

Mu An, meticulously unraveling the situation, continued his analysis, “Your brother suddenly went into heat today, which means these two weren’t just intimate during his heat as your brother claimed. A heat cycle lasts for three days! They must have been involved before your brother’s heat even started!

“As for the baby, I suspect he made it up to prevent you from refusing to break up!

“Hmm… of course, there’s also the possibility that your brother got pregnant before his first heat, causing hormonal imbalances…”

Finally, Mu An thought for a moment and added. Being an Omega himself, he naturally understood Omega physiology better than the Alphas and Betas present. Combined with the advice from his medical student friend, he had deduced quite a bit just from these simple details.

“Holy shit!” Ma Lin and Armand, both Alphas, wore dumbfounded expressions. Although they had found the scent of pheromones from Qiu Jingming strange, they hadn’t thought deeper into it!

As expected, only an Omega truly understands another Omega. After hearing Mu An’s analysis, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized the extent of this ‘betrayal’ was far greater than he’d imagined. He couldn’t help but seriously consider a very grave question.

When exactly did these two start their affair?

Was it during his absence that Song Yirui’s lust took over, or had these two dogs been cuckolding the original owner even before he transmigrated?!

Damn it!

Jiang Yuan, recalling his earlier speculations about the original owner’s death, couldn’t help but feel indignant on his behalf. He could dig up a hundred instances of how good the original owner had been to that trash Song Yirui, and even how he’d cared for his adopted brother Qiu Jingming more than most brothers would, especially considering the original owner was only a month older than Qiu Jingming!

Though he liked this cuckold situation and was eager to get rid of Song Yirui as his Alpha fiancé, it didn’t mean he could stand by and watch these two dogs betray the original owner like this. The original owner had been so good to them both. If he hadn’t transmigrated and changed hearts, how heartbroken would the original owner be right now?

Realizing these two might even lie about pregnancy just to kick the original owner to the curb, Jiang Yuan lost his composure. What kind of scum were they!

“Damn, I mean, last time on the spaceship, I sensed something was off when you were video-calling them!” Ji Yang blurted out, then seemed to realize he’d misspoken. He stuck out his tongue awkwardly and lightly tapped his mouth, obviously chiding himself for speaking out of turn.

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s silence, Mu An turned to Armand for help.

Armand scratched his head and patted Jiang Yuan’s shoulder, trying to comfort him, “Jiang Yuan, don’t be angry. Mu An meant no harm. He just doesn’t want you to be cheated on and played by these two.”

Jiang Yuan nodded and looked at Mu An very seriously, sincerely saying “Thank you” to him.

Ma Lin and Ji Yang also tried to comfort Jiang Yuan, but he wasn’t heartbroken. He just felt indignant for the original owner. If this had just been a heat-induced incident, he could have accepted it on the original owner’s behalf with a clear conscience. But this kind of betrayal made him angry, feeling it was undeserved by the original owner.

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s continued silence, Mu An finally spoke up. He scratched his head and said softly, “Jiang Yuan, it’s getting late, so I’ll be going now. Don’t be too sad. If you need anything, you can talk to me. I’m pretty good at giving advice…”

Mu An wanted to say he had ‘experience’, but then he realized being cheated on wasn’t exactly an impressive kind of experience… After all this, Armand immediately stuck to Mu An like a loyal dog, escorting him back to school.

Jiang Yuan sat down on the lobby sofa and took out his communicator, intending to ask Fang Shi and Jiang Tianze about the truth of Qiu Jingming’s pregnancy. Seeing this, Ji Yang and Ma Lin made excuses about having something to do and left the hotel with Armand and Mu An.

The only one who stayed behind was Ji Rong, who hadn’t spoken. He sat down next to Jiang Yuan with his hands in his pockets, leaning back with his long legs crossed. Like an exquisite statue placed beside Jiang Yuan, he remained motionless, quietly waiting for him.

His handsome profile was as perfect as a work of art. As Jiang Yuan dialed his communicator, Ji Rong sat beside him and softly added, “I think Mu An is right. As long as an Alpha isn’t thinking entirely with their lower half, they can resist the influence of an Omega’s pheromones for a short time and leave an Omega in heat in time…”

As he spoke, Ji Rong secretly glanced at Jiang Yuan from the corner of his eye. Upon hearing his words, Jiang Yuan’s furrowed brow deepened.

The call connected, and a beautiful, elegant female Omega appeared on the communicator screen. Although the woman looked haggard and tired, it couldn’t hide her beauty – a kind of intellectual beauty from inside out.

Ji Rong lowered his gaze. Jiang Yuan didn’t resemble his mother at all.

Jiang Yuan looked at his mother on the screen and softly called out, “Mom.” He noticed that Fang Shi seemed nervous the moment she saw him.

“Xiao Yuan…” Fang Shi felt a headache coming on just thinking about Qiu Jingming and Song Yirui’s situation. Calculating the time, Qiu Jingming should have reached Earth by now. When she suddenly received Jiang Yuan’s call request, she hesitated for a long time before mustering the courage to answer.

Seeing Fang Shi’s troubled expression, Jiang Yuan felt concerned, “Mom, are you alright? You look unwell.”

“I’m fine. Maybe I just haven’t been sleeping well lately,” Fang Shi shook her head, her beautiful almond eyes filled with love for her son Jiang Yuan. She said softly, “Xiao Yuan, did… did Jingming come to find you?”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “He did.”

Considering Fang Shi’s feelings, Jiang Yuan didn’t mention that Qiu Jingming and Song Yirui were currently engaged in unspeakable acts in the hotel room. He lowered his voice and asked, “Mom, I know everything about Qiu Jingming and Song Yirui now. I just want to know if the news about his pregnancy is true or false?”

Fang Shi sighed and nodded, “It’s true. I took Jingming to the hospital for the examination myself.”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly. It seemed the pregnancy was real and not a lie. “Uncle Song and the others all know about this, too, right?”

“…Yes,” Fang Shi was worried. Her son’s emotions appeared stable, but as a mother, how could she not be concerned? She hadn’t been able to sleep for days and couldn’t focus at work. She’d even taken annual leave to rest at home. “They all know. Xiao Yuan, whatever decision you make, Mom will support you!”

Jiang Yuan felt warmth in his heart. “Thank you, Mom! I’ll discuss with Father how to handle this. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Fang Shi thought Jiang Yuan was just saying this to reassure her and felt anxious. “But…”

At this moment, Jiang Tianze was also at home. He gently patted his wife’s shoulder and said softly, “You haven’t slept well for days. Go rest. I’ll talk to Jiang Yuan.”

“Ze-ge…” Fang Shi hesitated, then said in an extremely gentle voice, “Although this incident was unexpected, I don’t care what you all think, but if anyone dares to hurt my son, I won’t acknowledge them!”

“I understand.” Jiang Tianze showed a gentle smile. After seeing Fang Shi off, he began talking to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Tianze was tall and handsome, with deep-set eyes. When he looked at someone, his black eyes were unfathomable, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking. He unbuttoned his military uniform and asked his son, “How do you want to handle this matter?”

Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Tianze, thought for a moment, then directly told him everything that had just happened, including Mu An’s analysis.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianze’s brows furrowed deeply. “To think it was like this—”

Jiang Yuan nodded. He was actually worried that Jiang Tianze might ask him to compromise for the sake of Qiu Jingming’s father. He firmly stated, “Uncle Song is your good friend, and I don’t want to embarrass him, but I will absolutely not forgive what they’ve done! From today on, I don’t want to see Qiu Jingming at home when I return!”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianze didn’t object. Instead, he nodded, “Alright, I’ll have Jingming move out.”

Jiang Yuan was stunned. “I thought you would…”

Hearing this, Jiang Tianze snorted, “You thought I would oppose?

“No, Jiang Yuan. Now, I deeply realize something. I was wrong before. All these years, I’ve seen how you’ve tolerated Jingming.

“Back then, when I told you Qiu Jingming’s father died saving me, I actually lied to you. I just hoped you wouldn’t resent Jingming’s arrival. He had no family left, and I pitied him, but I never intended for my son to be wronged.

“I never imagined you would tolerate his unreasonable and willful demands because of this.

“As for Song Yirui, to be honest… if it weren’t for his father’s face and your liking him, I wouldn’t have approved of him from the start.

“He is not worthy of my son!”
