Chapter 465: Chapter 466: She’s pregnant, but… Chapter 465: Chapter 466: She’s pregnant, but… The warmth that had enveloped us a second ago had turned to ice and snow in an instant.

Qi Yue was stunned by Zhao Xiyan’s sudden change of expression!

If it weren’t for the fact that he was overthinking, Qi Yue would have wanted to rip his ears off.

“Zhao Xiyan, which ear of yours heard me say I was leaving?!”

Zhao Xiyan remained as cold as ever, but his hand on her waist hadn’t loosened in the slightest.

“Do I even need to say it? If you didn’t leave, we would naturally stay together every day.”

Qi Yue’s lips twitched.

“I really didn’t mean that. Let go of me a bit, and I’ll explain slowly.”

“No,” Zhao Xiyan frowned and looked at her with eyes full of dread, as if she would vanish any second.

Qi Yue was caught between laughter and tears.

With a thought, they were instantly inside the space.

“Now, you should feel relieved!” she said with a laugh, looking at the proud yet awkward man before her.

“Let go a bit; I really have something to tell you.”

Zhao Xiyan then reluctantly let her go, and they sat on the rocking chair beside the pavilion, holding hands.

“You tell me, why can’t it be in the future?”

Seeing the man’s impatience, Qi Yue also started to feel a bit embarrassed.

“I didn’t say it could never happen again, I just said there might be a period of time when it can’t happen.”

Zhao Xiyan stared at her with a skeptical look, his handsome brows furrowing even more.

“Why just for a period of time? Is Yueyue not feeling well?”

Qi Yue bit her lip.

“…I…might be pregnant?!”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan’s expression freeze for a moment, she quickly added another sentence.

“I’m not sure yet. It’s just that I’ve been feeling tired and off, not like my usual self.”

Zhao Xiyan blinked rapidly, and his face turned serious.

“Is it from last time?”

“Mhm.”

“But it’s only been slightly over ten days since last time. Yueyue, how can you feel it so soon? I heard that a woman having a child should at least have been a month before she can…”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan’s incredulous face, Qi Yue became angry.

“Zhao Xiyan, you don’t believe me?!”

“I don’t not believe you…” Zhao Xiyan was still looking dazed, “It’s just that I can’t believe… you’d really be willing to have our child?”

This time, it was Qi Yue’s turn to be incredulous.

“What do you mean by that? When did I ever say I wouldn’t have children?”

Zhao Xiyan pressed his lips together, feeling sheepish.

“Once, Yueyue mentioned that having a child is like a woman having one foot on the coffin’s plank. One carelessness and she could fall in…”

Qi Yue’s lips couldn’t help but quiver twice.

“What was the context when I said that? I clearly talked about training some girls to be midwives after everything settles down, which would also raise their status…”

Before she could finish, she saw Zhao Xiyan leaning over, pressing his ear against her belly, with such a solemn expression as if he were worshipping a deity.

“Hahaha…My lord, whether there is a child or not is still uncertain, so why are you so eager to listen?” Qi Yue laughed, trying to push his head away a bit.

“Yueyue, don’t laugh,” Zhao Xiyan pressed his ear even closer, and those captivating eyes closed, “I truly heard it. We have a child!”

His silly behavior made Qi Yue laugh even more.

“My lord, have you been thinking about having children all along, which is why you’re acting so obsessed?”

“Of course not,” Zhao Xiyan looked up with a slightly tense expression on his handsome face, “I’ve said I would wait until Yueyue is willing, and wants to have a child.”

Qi Yue snorted with laughter, choosing not to expose him.

Having children to continue the lineage is something every man will do.

Zhao Xiyan was no exception.

Moreover, she also wanted a child.

Although things hadn’t settled down yet, and the future was still full of surprises.

But since the child had already come, it must mean this was the perfect time!

She lifted Zhao Xiyan’s face and earnestly kissed him again and again on his lips.

“I’m willing, willing to have a child for you, our child.”

“Yueyue…” The man’s face was a mix of surprise and daze, “So you’ve confirmed it, then? Is it really true? Yueyue, you’re really carrying my child?”

Qi Yue smiled with pursed lips.

Even though she hadn’t gone for a check-up to confirm it, based on her unique personal feelings, there was an eighty percent chance it was true!

“Let’s go and get it checked now!”

She had the most advanced testing equipment and technology; although it was a bit early, she could still make an assessment.

As soon as the couple stepped into the laboratory, the medical assistant robot that had been charging against the wall suddenly lit up.

“Dear master, long time no see. Are you here for a health check?”

Was it only about a week since they had last seen each other?

Qi Yue pursed her lips and carelessly responded, “That’s right. What’s up, have you noticed something?”

The little helper robot swiftly disconnected from its power source and walked up to them in a few steps.

Its probing mirror-like eyes spun rapidly and soon began to report the examination results.

“Your temperature has reached 37 degrees Celsius, there is a significant fluctuation in estrogen levels, and there are obvious signs of fatigue on your complexion…”

At this point, the little assistant suddenly turned its head towards Zhao Xiyan; its ugly metallic face contorted a few times as if it were attempting to smile.

“…Master Zhao is quite amazing, isn’t he!”

Qi Yue was used to this Old Six assistant, clearly a machine, yet always acting like a human.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Or do you want me to pull out your battery?”

The little assistant hurriedly turned its head back, speaking promptly, “Master, based on the assistant’s examination, you appear to be pregnant… and there seems to be more than one, too. Congratulations to the master and Master Zhao!”

Qi Yue pushed away the little helper in one swift move.

“Step aside, don’t get in the way of my check-up!”

Hearing there was more than one, Qi Yue’s mind instantly conjured up images of two children, followed by a third, turning into triplets.

She was a doctor; she had seen many cases of twins and multiple births.

But when it came to herself, she felt a bit nervous.

If she really had to give birth to three at once, she wasn’t completely confident she could take care of them well!

She had to get the results from the tests immediately.

An hour later, Qi Yue was deep in thought as she looked at several different test reports.

She was pregnant for sure, but how many were there exactly?

What about their genders?

It’s said that twins and multiples often have the same sex!

She didn’t want to have a bunch of boys or a whole group of girls!

“Yueyue, don’t worry. Just leave everything to me after they’re born; you just focus on taking care of yourself. If we really have several, wouldn’t that be even better? Then we won’t have to go through this again.”

Zhao Xiyan’s consolation did have some effect, and Qi Yue simply stopped worrying.

She would naturally find out in a few months.

After confirming her pregnancy, Zhao Xiyan just kept staring at her belly, as if looking at some rare treasure.

The next morning when they woke up, even when she walked a few steps, Zhao Xiyan insisted on supporting her.

One moment he was telling her she was taking too big strides, the next he was saying she was walking too fast.

With all the fussing, Qi Yue grew annoyed.

“Zhao Xiyan, have you forgotten how you tossed me around from yesterday morning till the afternoon? If there were any issues, they would’ve happened by now!”

Zhao Xiyan suddenly found himself speechless.

In the midst of this awkwardness, a series of disorderly voices came from outside the door, and the pair hurriedly went to check.
