Last Love chapter 86

Zhuo Yuan hadn’t seen Wen Ke for a long time, but for some reason, he often found himself thinking about Wen Ke during this period.

He recalled Wen Ke’s gentle smile and the soft yet steady tone when speaking.

After being with Jiang Nanfei, the brief sweet period ended, and Zhuo Yuan gradually became easily fatigued. Sometimes, when he heard the sudden high-pitched tones of his now Omega, he couldn’t restrain himself from wanting to shout back.

This feeling made him irritated; he disliked this undignified side of himself.

When he was with Wen Ke, he never acted like this. Wen Ke wasn’t sharp, and he rarely accused him, allowing Zhuo Yuan to maintain a gentle appearance.

Wen Ke was just indifferent.

Indifferent… as if he had never liked or disliked him.

…

Even when wearing winter clothes, the bulge in the lower abdomen was still so obvious.

So glaringly obvious.

Wen Ke is pregnant.

This is beyond doubt.

But how could Wen Ke be pregnant?

Zhuo Yuan found it unbelievable; all he could think was how it was impossible.

They had been together for ten years.

Over three thousand days, over a hundred heats, numerous markings.

Yet, even with all that, Wen Ke never got pregnant.

He had secretly resented this Omega for subjecting him to the pressure of the entire family, for not having a child after so many years of marriage.

But now, they have only been divorced for less than half a year…

And Wen Ke’s belly was already so big.

Did he get pregnant right after leaving him?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhuo Yuan’s face suddenly twisted, as if he had been punched. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath and, after a long time, stood up. His gaze moved from Wen Ke’s belly and slowly shifted to Wen Ke’s face.

It was at this moment that Zhuo Yuan suddenly realized Wen Ke looked completely different from the person he remembered.

His skin looked fair and delicate, almost as clean as if washed with clear water.

He was indeed not tall, but despite being pregnant, there was no sense of clumsiness or depletion. Apart from the bulging abdomen, the limbs remained slender. Also, with the naturally long neck, he looked very upright and spirited.

Wen Ke was wearing a cool black brand-name down jacket with a soft brown scarf around his neck, patterned like spots on a giraffe. He looked young and vibrant, completely different from the dull and uninteresting Wen Ke he remembered.

Perhaps because it was a bit warm indoors, Wen Ke’s face was rosy. He had gained a bit more flesh on his cheeks, but unexpectedly, he had become even more beautiful. Long and dense eyelashes, fluffy and animal-like, complemented the bright and lively light-colored pupils, exuding an alluring charm.

Zhuo Yuan was stunned, and for a moment, he couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. His entire logic fell into confusion.

Wen Ke couldn’t be this good-looking; the Wen Ke in his memory wasn’t like this.

Is it because of the pregnancy?

Because of the pregnancy, making him so extraordinary.

Everything was because of the damn pregnancy.

“Wen Ke…”

Zhuo Yuan cleared his throat and greeted Wen Ke, but then realized something was amiss.

Jiang Nanfei, sitting across from him, turned his head immediately, seeing Wen Ke standing not far away and noticing Wen Ke’s protruding belly.

Jiang Nanfei couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and his long narrow eyes suddenly glared at Zhuo Yuan. The meaning was self-evident, even though he didn’t say anything, but he immediately softened and leaned toward Zhuo Yuan. A sweet smile appeared on his face as he gently asked, “Zhuo-ge, is this your ex? What a coincidence?”

Of course, he was well aware of the intrusion, so his words were meant to suppress the other.

This was his instinct. After all, Wen Ke was Zhuo Yuan’s ex, and he was a higher-ranked Omega.

In this battle, he should have been the undisputed victor, but the fact that the other was pregnant had made him feel a bit uneasy. Therefore, he had to strike first.

Surprisingly, Wen Ke did not respond.

“It’s quite a coincidence.”

The pregnant Omega’s tone was calm. His eyes passed coldly over Jiang Nanfei’s face, almost without pausing, as if…

As if Jiang Nanfei didn’t exist in his eyes.

This kind of disregard made Jiang Nanfei feel unprecedented discomfort.

“Wen Ke, you…”

Zhuo Yuan stammered slightly, took a step forward, and asked in confusion, “Are you here for a checkup? When did you get pregnant? How did you suddenly become pregnant? The child… Whose child is it?”

This series of questions seemed quite out of control.

Wen Ke immediately took a step back, his gaze becoming guarded. He directly counter-questioned, “Is it any of your business?”

Zhuo Yuan was momentarily speechless. Just a moment ago, when they suddenly approached each other, he caught a whiff of Wen Ke’s fresh grassy scent of pheromones.

Strangely, he used to think that the scent was so faint that it almost didn’t exist except during heats. But at that moment, the pheromone scent from Wen Ke unexpectedly gave him a strong feeling for the first time.

Zhuo Yuan didn’t speak, but Jiang Nanfei was still upset about losing the confrontation just now. He pretended to ask with concern, “Wen Ke, why are you coming for a checkup alone? It must be tough with such a big belly now.”

As he asked, he looked at Wen Ke’s attire with meaningful glances.

He considered himself to have a sharp eye, able to estimate the value of the opponent’s entire outfit within a few seconds. Seeing that Wen Ke didn’t have a prestigious watch on his wrist and was not dressed in luxury, he casually extended his right hand. On his wrist was a Rolex adorned with diamonds, sparkling under the light.

The latter half of the sentence wasn’t wrong, though; Wen Ke had been standing for a while and already felt a bit tired. At this moment, he unconsciously supported his lower back with his hand.

“Who said he came alone?”

A deep voice suddenly comes from behind Wen Ke.

Just as Wen Ke turned his head, he felt himself being tightly embraced by a pair of hands.

The 192cm tall Alpha not only had an imposing height but also exuded a powerful S-class whiskey scent, dominating the absolute center.

The Alpha’s physical quality was excellent, even in the cold winter, he didn’t wear a down jacket.

He was only wearing a pure black Chester woolen coat outside, the hem casually open, revealing the silk shirt inside and outlining the handsome lines of the upper body.

Jiang Nanfei was stunned for a moment, and he couldn’t help but look at Huan Jiangque.

He certainly remembered this person.

“Xiao Ke, your milk tea, I ordered low sugar.”

After Han Jiangque said this, he ignored Jiang Nanfei and turned his head to look at Wen Ke, lowering his voice.

He didn’t hand the milk tea directly to Wen Ke but carefully lifted the paper cup and placed it at Wen Ke’s lips. “The paper cup is still hot; I’ll hold it.”

Wen Ke lifted his head and, upon seeing Han Jiangque, instantly lost the tension and wariness he had just felt.

He touched the paper cup with his fingertips, indeed finding it quite hot. Unable to resist, he whispered, “It’s really hot. Why don’t you put it on the table?”

“It’s okay.” Han Jiangque smiled lightly. “Drink it slowly.”

Wen Ke no longer resisted; instead, he wrapped his hand around Han Jiangque’s hand and leaned in, sipping the drink in small sips. The way he extended his neck looked very much like a wild giraffe cautiously drinking water.

“Is it good?” Han Jiangque asked in a low voice, “We waited in line for so long, all for ordering milk tea.”

“It’s good.” Wen Ke took two more sips before saying, “I think our turn is coming up. Let’s wait in the corridor in front of the consultation room.”

He didn’t want to be in the same space as Zhuo Yuan.

He didn’t want to talk to Zhuo Yuan, nor did he want to see this person. It was not a strong hatred or aversion, just a simple feeling of being annoyed.

“…Alright.” Han Jiangque paused and then gently touched Wen Ke’s face.

When Zhuo Yuan appeared, Han Jiangque’s emotions were, of course, filled with strong resentment. Thinking that this person was still talking in front of Wen Ke with his new omega, he had to exert all his strength to restrain himself from acting.

But it wasn’t the right time, and it shouldn’t be in front of Wen Ke. He couldn’t be as immature as he was ten years ago.

“Wait!”

However, Zhuo Yuan suddenly raised his tone, his eyes glaring at Huan Jiangque, asking, “Han Jiangque, is he carrying your child?”

Before Han Jiangque appeared, his feelings were more of confusion and shock, even a bit shameful with a strange desire to say a few more words to Wen Ke before Han Jiangque arrived.

But as soon as Han Jiangque appeared, all his confusion turned into a vague sense of unwillingness and hatred.

Seeing Han Jiangque’s affection towards Wen Ke, his resentment intensified. Seeing Wen Ke gazing at Han Jiangque with tender eyes, his resentment deepened even more. He couldn’t control himself.

Han Jiangque turned to look at Zhuo Yuan, coldly staring at him, “Yes. It’s my child.”

He paused, then asked Zhuo Yuan, “Surprised, aren’t you? You always blamed Wen Ke’s gland level for not being able to conceive with you. But in fact, Wen Ke is fine. Everything went smoothly for us, and his gland level has upgraded to D. Zhuo Yuan, I think you should reconsider now. It’s best to go for a physical examination and figure out where the problem lies. Why can’t the Omega with you get pregnant? Why can’t they upgrade?”

Han Jiangque sneered at this point, then pulled Wen Ke’s hand and tried to leave.

Zhuo Yuan’s temple veins suddenly jumped, and he abruptly pushed away Jiang Nanfei in his arms. He strode forward, blocking Han Jiangque, and grabbed Han Jiangque’s collar, his expression extremely fierce, “Han Jiangque, what the hell do you mean?”

Wen Ke was startled, momentarily forgetting that he was already a pregnant Omega. He subconsciously tried to stand in front of Han Jiangque to protect him, but Han Jiangque immediately pushed him back.

“Don’t you know what I mean?”

Han Jiangque, despite being grabbed by the collar, seemed indifferent. He lowered his head to look at Zhuo Yuan, and their eyes met, almost suffocatingly close.

He suddenly laughed coldly, “Then let me say it again.”

“Zhuo Yuan, you’re just a piece of trash.”

Han Jiangque spoke slowly, each word as sharp as a knife, “You can’t have children because you’re useless, with no connection to anyone. But when I call you trash, it’s not because you can’t have children.”

Han Jiangque enunciated each word, “You’re weak and incompetent, but not to the extent of being shameful. You know what kind of person you are, so you were attracted to Wen Ke. But the truly shameful part about you is that you’ve never respected yourself. Even if you take away the most beautiful person in the world, you still feel inferior to be with him. So, you’d rather hurt him, torment him, and bring him down to become as miserable as you are.”

“Zhuo Yuan, you’re incapable of loving someone. You’re a selfish waste. You’ve been greedily robbing the light from others’ lives but, once obtained, you ruthlessly trample on it. But you never thought that this ray of light might be the only light in another person’s life.”

As Han Jiangque spoke, his voice gradually became hoarse. In his pitch-black eyes, a surge of intense hatred finally emerged, but within that hatred, there was also a profound sense of sorrow.

Wen Ke didn’t know why his nose suddenly felt intensely sour. He couldn’t even spare a glance at Zhuo Yuan’s expression, just tightly gripping Han Jiangque’s hand. In that moment, all he wanted was to never let go; he wanted to hold Han Jiangque’s hand forever.

“Let go.”

Han Jiangque’s loss of control lasted only a moment. His expression quickly turned cold, and he stared at Zhuo Yuan. The powerful S-class Alpha pheromones overwhelmed the other, “Zhuo Yuan, if you don’t let go, I’ll definitely make a move. I mean what I say.”

Zhuo Yuan was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his back. Memories of being violently beaten by Han Jiangque in high school resurfaced. He controlled the twisted expression on his face, immediately released his grip, and stepped back several steps.

For a moment, he had many words he wanted to shout, but not a single word came out.

His mind was filled with the words Han Jiangque spoke, rotating endlessly.

“You’ve never respected yourself, even after taking away the most beautiful person in the world, you still feel inferior to be with him. So, you’d rather hurt him, torment him, and bring him down to become as miserable as you are.”

Zhuo Yuan was shocked.

He actually felt that what Han Jiangque said vaguely hit a certain place in his heart.

When he was with Wen Ke, he constantly felt the base and despicable pain that he couldn’t share with anyone.

It was like a thief who stole jewels from a friend’s house due to a momentary impulse. Even if those jewels were exquisite and expensive, he dared not openly wear them.

He fell into a restless state, occasionally hoping…

If those jewels had never existed.

If the jewels didn’t exist, then he wouldn’t be a thief.

While Zhuo Yuan stood dumbfounded in place, Wen Ke and Han Jiangque had already reached the end of the corridor. The two leaned against the wall, whispering intimately.

The tall Alpha bent down, affectionately helping the Omega untie the scarf around his neck and then hung it on his own neck.

They were so carefree, as if they were naturally a pair, creating a world of their own, just like…

Back in high school.

For a moment, Zhuo Yuan almost felt a sense of regret.

But then, he suddenly noticed…

Wen Ke’s nape…

Wen Ke hadn’t been marked by Han Jiangque.

In other words—

Wen Ke could still be marked.

A shiver ran down Zhuo Yuan’s spine, like a cold snake crawling behind him.

It was the feeling of malice surfacing in his heart once again.
