My Gorgeous Stepmother Wants to Borrow Me to Carry Her Baby

Shi Yin was the illegitimate daughter of the Shi family, and her family never favored her.

It was only after she presented as an Alpha that the wealthy mother she had never met acknowledged her as family.

On the first day after returning to the country, Shi Yin was dragged by her family to a nightclub to put on a show of support.

The private room was dimly lit and reeked of alcohol.

Shi Yin sat in a corner as an intensely sweet rose fragrance crept into her nostrils.

She stumbled, lured into a lounge, where a stunning woman was draped limply in her arms. The corners of the woman’s eyes were red as she wound her arms around Shi Yin’s neck, her voice so seductive it seemed to drip with honey:

“Easy, little sister… Don’t hurt me, or Big Sister won’t let you off.”

In a daze, Shi Yin bit into her gland. When she came to her senses, she was so terrified that she bought a standing-room-only ticket and fled home in the middle of the night.

A week later, one phone call from her mother sent Shi Yin rushing back to the country.

The reason was simple: her mother was getting remarried and wanted her home for the wedding, so she could meet her young, beautiful stepmother.

At the wedding, the champagne tower glittered brilliantly.

Shi Yin stood expressionless in a corner in her white dress, just part of the scenery.

Then the much-admired bride walked onto the stage with her mother’s arm in hers.

Shi Yin looked up and met a pair of foxlike eyes, smiling faintly.

Cen Yan.

The top-tier Omega she had accidentally marked at the nightclub, who had vanished without a trace afterward.

And now, in name, her… stepmother.

Cen Yan wore a pure white wedding dress, as holy as a lily, but her gaze at Shi Yin was dewy, full of resentment and provocation that only Shi Yin could understand.

She mouthed:

“Long time no see, little sister.”

Shi Yin: “...”

After the wedding, Shi Yin tried to muddle through by playing dumb, guided by the principle that if she wasn’t embarrassed, everyone else would be.

But Cen Yan clearly had no intention of letting her off the hook.

On the surface, this stepmother was dignified and virtuous. In private, she kept seducing Shi Yin.

Shi Yin’s mother felt nothing but self-interest toward Cen Yan, no desire.

Cen Yan wanted a child to inherit the family fortune, a blood tie of her own, so she set her sights on Shi Yin.

Shi Yin’s mother was downstairs entertaining guests, and the study door was locked.

Wearing a silk slip dress, Cen Yan padded barefoot across the carpet, holding a medical report. She leaned close to Shi Yin, her voice full of grievance:

“Yinyin, the doctor says my reproductive tract is in great condition, perfect for getting pregnant.”

“Your mother doesn’t want to touch me. You’re an Alpha. Won’t you help Mom?”

At a family dinner, everyone sat around the table to eat.

Shi Yin’s mother sat at the head, asking Shi Yin about the company’s business with a stern expression.

Shi Yin sat up straight and answered obediently.

Under the tablecloth, a foot in a high heel slowly slid up her calf, finally stopping at the inside of her knee and tracing little circles.

Cen Yan sat across from her, sipping her soup elegantly, her expression innocent and pure.

When Shi Yin’s mother turned to reach for the wine, Cen Yan silently mouthed to Shi Yin:

“Call me Mom.”

Shi Yin was taking a shower when the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Cen Yan walked in wrapped in a towel. Her skin glowed white through the mist.

“Yinyin, scrub Mom’s back.”

Later, the bathroom, the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the bed Cen Yan shared with Shi Yin’s mother all bore traces of what Cen Yan and Shi Yin had taken for themselves.

Everyone thought that a beauty like Cen Yan would sooner or later arrange a marriage alliance for Shi Yin to find herself a powerful protector.

After all, Shi Yin was just an illegitimate daughter who wasn’t loved by her family.

But nobody knew that this seemingly helpless stepmother had long since devoured her daughter, bones and all.

She didn’t need a fiancee. All she needed was the “daughter” she had trained with her own hands, and their baby.

Later, when the truth came out, the family could no longer tolerate Cen Yan and Shi Yin.

To protect Cen Yan, Shi Yin staged a car accident, faked her death, and escaped from the predatory wealthy family.

She thought that was the end.

Until a few months later, when she was living in seclusion in a seaside town in the Southern Hemisphere.

That day, rain poured down in torrents, and someone knocked on the door.

Shi Yin opened it to find Cen Yan, soaked through and utterly bedraggled. Those foxlike eyes fixed on her as rain slid down her pale cheeks, making her look just as she had at the nightclub. Cen Yan slapped an ultrasound report against Shi Yin’s chest and parted her red lips:

“Shi Yin, what are you running from?”

“You did this to Mom…”

“Mom’s pregnant. It’s yours. You have to take responsibility for Mom.”
