Chapter 92: Public Confession
The release of Undercurrent continuously broke national box office records. After the premiere concluded, Su Tang had his physical condition assessed by a doctor. With their permission, he did his best to follow the production crew to several cities for roadshows.
Watching his baby’s belly grow larger day by day while Su Tang was still running around with the crew, Ye Chiyu was incredibly worried.
During the day, he compressed his working hours as much as possible. As soon as company affairs were settled, no matter how far away it was, he would rush to the city where his Omega was. In the rest hotel, he would hold his “Little Su Tang,” providing his pheromones for both his Omega and the baby.
Alpha pheromones were not an inexhaustible resource. Even though an Omega in pregnancy required their Alpha’s pheromones as essential nutritional support for both the pregnant body and the fetus, the total amount required was actually not excessive.
Throughout the half-month of roadshows, Alpha pheromones constantly enveloped Su Tang. Having received the father’s pheromones, the fetus developed rapidly. Su Tang’s belly quickly rounded out, while Ye Chiyu became visibly thinner.
On several nights, Su Tang felt Ye Xiansheng’s slightly haggard cheeks, his heart aching. With red eyes, he would fiercely tell the Alpha not to give him so much pheromone support, but his Ye Xiansheng always told him it was fine.
Thus, when Ye Chiyu once again rushed from S City via a private flight to the roadshow site in M City, the tall, upright Alpha stood among the fans wearing a simple white shirt and black suit trousers. He looked at Su Tang with those deep eyes from the crowd, smiling and waving. In that moment, Su Tangās nose suddenly twinged with emotion.
His Ye Xiansheng was a man looked up to by thousands in the business world; in any other setting, he was the center of attention. Yet, for his sake, he was willing to stand quietly in a noisy crowd, always waiting for him to come home with that gentle smile.
On stage, Su Tang collected his thoughts. After answering the audience’s interactive questions, the roadshow neared its end. He didn’t immediately put down the microphone. Instead, he gazed at Ye Xiansheng in the audience with a smile. When the host asked everyone to share their closing thoughts before leaving, Su Tang curled his beautiful lips.
“Umāactually, my husband came to the scene today as well. Heās right there in the audience.”
The moment Su Tang spoke, the fans below let out “marmot screams,” looking around frantically to find the man who looked like Su Tang’s husband. The media also panned their cameras through the crowd, trying to capture some high-value footage.
After all, although Su Tang had said he was married, he had never revealed his husband’s identity to the public, let alone his appearance. All news regarding the matter had been strictly blocked.
This had led some passersby to speculate that Su Tang might not be married at all and that the child in his belly was a result of a premarital pregnancy, suggesting the other father was just a fabrication for show.
However, after Undercurrent officially premiered, Su Tangās exquisite acting skills attracted a massive new wave of fans. Although these baseless speculations were suppressed and criticized by various parties, netizens were actually overflowing with curiosity regarding Su Tang’s mysterious husband. They were dying to know.
Yet they couldn’t find a single “melon” to eat, which reached a level of frustration that felt like their hearts were being clawed at.
The Alphaās 1.9-meter height and cold, transcendent aura were far too obvious. People gradually began to focus their gazes on this calm man with facial features as perfect as a sculpture.
“If nothing unexpected happens, this will be my final roadshow,” Su Tang looked down at his protruding belly, his tone very gentle. “Since so many people are here today, I want to say a few words to my Alpha in front of everyone.”
Utterly ignoring the gazes falling upon him, Ye Chiyu stared fixedly at his little husband and smiled.
“Being with you probably used up all the luck of my life. Thank you for your consistent tolerance and protection, and for not disliking my occasional selfishness and silliness.”
“Ye Xiansheng, I love you.”
In front of a camera that thousands of people can see, I can bravely speak without hesitation, expressing my love for you and telling everyone: Su Tang loves you.
Ye Chiyuās eyes grew slightly moist. He had never imagined that his baby would be so fearless of rumors as to confess to him in front of so many people.
How lucky was he to have found his life’s salvation?
Various lenses were aimed at Su Tang and Ye Chiyu, yet neither faltered. Su Tang walked forward a few steps, and Ye Chiyu, surrounded by the crowd, stepped onto the stage without hesitation. He stood beside his little husband, holding hands. After bowing to the audience with the Undercurrent crew, they made a composed exit.
After this high-profile appearance, Ye Chiyuās identity was quickly dug up by netizens. Upon discovering he was actually the President of the Ye Group, the nation’s premier leading enterprise, all rumors about Su Tang being “kept” collapsed instantly. The fan-versus-hater battles on the Weibo plaza were incredibly lively.
Hu Baobao, who was happily traveling abroad while surfing the front lines of Weibo, shared screenshots of the PKs between anti-fans and fans in the Super Topic every day.
[@85232: Those who were spreading rumors saying our Xiao Tang was being kept, are you shutting up now?]
[@FeiHuaFei: Hehe, saying Su Tang is a resource-heavy actor isn’t wrong, right? Anyway, I don’t believe he didn’t get extra scenes in that small supporting role before. He just smashed his way to fame with money.]
[@ZhiZhiTaoMeiYa: What evidence do you have that he added scenes? With those few minutes of screen time in total, how could he add scenes?]
[@OrangeSea: How did ST get famous? By relying on his husband’s money.]
[@WheelPendulume: Some people’s “sugar daddies” smash money and don’t even make a sound, flopping to the center of the earth. I won’t say who /funny]
[@EatingMelonSeeds: Please, the person talking about relying on the husbandāif it’s your own family’s money, are you going to give it to others instead of your own family? Su Tang’s acting skills are obvious to all. If acting skills could be bought, go buy some for your own idol too~]
…
“Emmm…”
Su Tang, now five months pregnant, looked at the screenshots on the lounge chair in Ye Chiyu’s office for several days, feeling like he was about to cultivate into a master of sarcasm.
The Ye Group was recently preparing to list on the NY Stock Exchange abroad. Working from home could no longer satisfy current demands; Ye Chiyu had to come to the company.
Since knowing Su Tang was pregnant, he had immediately set people to renovate another private villa he had long prepared, suitable for a family of three. He also hired professional nannies, housekeepers, and doctors at high salaries to handle all affairs of Su Tang’s pregnancy.
In the second trimester, the little Omega’s emotions were somewhat unstable. Ye Chiyu wasn’t at ease, so he tried inviting his little Omega to the company with him. Su Tang, who was tired of being restricted in everything at home, agreed without a second thought.
Accompanying the Alpha to work, the little pregnant husband curled up on a custom-made lounge chair. Without the various instructions from the nannies at home or the nagging of the doctors, he leisurely browsed his phone, looked at his Ye Xiansheng, or teased the baby in his belly. Life couldn’t be more comfortable.
