Lin Ran's eyes widened. "Impressive, you even know that. As expected of my wife."
Luo Yao nestled into Lin Ran's arms. "I found out a while ago. I had tests done when Yu Chengqun was in the hospital."
"In that case, let's spread this news," Lin Ran said with a sly smile.
The corner of Luo Yao's mouth lifted. "It's already arranged. Liu Meng will handle it."
His wife was always thorough, considering every angle.
With that settled, Lin Ran had nothing to worry about.
"Yao Yao, to celebrate our temporary victory, let's make love."
Luo Yao nodded. She didn't know why, but she felt her sex drive had been particularly high lately.
One could even say the moment she saw Lin Ran, she wanted to pounce on him.
Just as the two were about to take the next step, Luo Yao suddenly frowned.
Before Lin Ran could figure out what was happening, Luo Yao rushed into the bathroom.
Hearing the sounds of retching from inside, Lin Ran was worried sick.
Could Yao Yao's stomach condition be getting worse? That shouldn't be the case.
Lin Ran brought a glass of warm water to the bathroom and handed it to Luo Yao, his voice full of concern.
"Yao Yao, I've called the doctor. He'll be here soon."
Luo Yao straightened up, feeling a bit better.
Lin Ran carried her back to bed. About five minutes later, Yi Siyin arrived at the No. 1 villa. Lin Ran personally went downstairs and practically dragged him upstairs.
As they walked, Lin Ran anxiously explained the situation. "Yao Yao was just vomiting. I suspect it's her stomach condition flaring up?"
"Stomach condition?" Yi Siyin was confused.
"Yeah, doesn't Yao Yao have a stomach condition? You must examine her carefully later. If necessary, we'll go to the hospital."
Yi Siyin smiled. "Don't worry, Young Master Lin. Although the young lady has anorexia, her stomach is perfectly fine. I give her a physical exam every year."
Lin Ran suddenly froze, stopping mid-step on the stairs.
Yi Siyin asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Ran shook his head. "It's nothing. Just... later, don't tell Yao Yao about our conversation. Just do a thorough check-up."
Yi Siyin found it strange but nodded in agreement.
The corner of Lin Ran's mouth lifted slightly.
Yao Yao, you've kept me in the dark for so long, making me worry for nothing...
Entering the room, they found Luo Yao lying in bed, already feeling much better.
Yi Siyin observed Luo Yao's complexion and found nothing unusual.
He approached the bed. "Young lady, I need to take your pulse. My apologies."
Luo Yao paused for a moment. Seeing the worry in Lin Ran's eyes, she extended her hand.
Yi Siyin gently placed his fingers on her wrist, closed his eyes, and felt her pulse, which was smooth and rolling like beads.
A slippery pulse?
Yi Siyin was taken aback. "Young lady, you... didn't take the medicine after your last menstrual cycle?"
Luo Yao knew what he was referring to and shook her head.
Yi Siyin nodded. "That explains it. Congratulations, young lady. You're pregnant."
This time, it was Lin Ran's turn to be shocked. "Pregnant? What's pregnant?"
Yi Siyin withdrew his hand, stood up, and smiled at Lin Ran.
"You're going to have a little baby. I estimate it might be almost two months along already. For specifics, the young lady should go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
Lin Ran instantly felt his head buzzing. He wasn't exactly overjoyed; instead, worry was the predominant feeling.
Luo Yao asked, "A Ran, are you not happy?"
Lin Ran shook his head and asked, "But... Yao Yao and I haven't been abstaining from intimacy during this time. Is that okay? Won't it harm Yao Yao?"
Yi Siyin sighed. "Actually, intimacy in the first three months doesn't really affect the mother; the main risk is miscarriage for the baby. But don't worry. I've just checked her pulse, and there don't seem to be any major issues. It will be even better to get checked tomorrow. This child is really lucky."
After seeing Yi Siyin out, Lin Ran gently hugged Luo Yao.
"Yao Yao, I remember you said you didn't like children."
Luo Yao touched her stomach. "But I should leave something for A Ran. So, I stopped taking the medicine recently, thinking I'd let nature take its course. Since it's here, let's keep it."
Lin Ran took a deep breath and also reached out to touch Luo Yao's stomach.
For some reason, when his hand cautiously rested on her belly, he seemed to truly feel the little life inside. An indescribable emotion filled his heart.
"No wonder you've gained weight recently. It's because of the pregnancy. You should have told me earlier so I could have been mentally prepared. Speaking of which, this little one is really fortunate."
Luo Yao also remembered her recent weight gain. She had thought it was just from eating, but now she finally understood the reason.
"Is A Ran blaming me? Although I wanted to let nature take its course, I never really thought about this possibility."
Lin Ran affectionately stroked Luo Yao's head. "How could I blame you? If anyone's to blame, it's me for being careless."
The young couple had only discovered it now, firstly because they were inexperienced, especially Luo Yao, who had even overlooked her irregular periods.
Although Lin Ran also lacked experience, the bigger reason was that he never imagined Luo Yao could get pregnant.
He thought Luo Yao was taking the Yi Family's medicine and couldn't conceive.
If he had known Luo Yao had stopped the medication, he would have noticed the signs much earlier.
Luo Yao snuggled into Lin Ran's arms. Thinking about having a baby with him, she suddenly felt it was quite nice.
It seemed... she didn't particularly dislike this child.
Feeling Luo Yao's hands beginning to wander, Lin Ran tensed up.
"Yao Yao, if you've decided to keep this child, you'll have to hold back a bit. Let's wait until the baby is three months along before we..."
Luo Yao suddenly began to dislike this child. It seemed she really didn't like children at all.
Her voice was slightly hoarse.
"I'll just rub against it, I won't go inside."
Lin Ran: ???
You've really turned things upside down.
Time moved to the next day.
Liu Meng, who had been working continuously for a long time, finally had a good night's sleep. Early in the morning, refreshed and energetic, she went to the hospital to "visit" the patients.
This was the Yi Family's hospital, with a dedicated area for wealthy clients.
Yu Taiduo, Yu Paoyan, and Ai Renqi's rooms were right next to each other, all VIP suites.
When Liu Meng arrived at Yu Taiduo's room, she found Yu Paoyan was also there.
Besides him, there was also the woman named Chang Lüfù.
Yu Taiduo was already awake but still confined to bed.
His hand had been reattached, but due to excessive blood loss, he was very weak and would likely be bedridden for a long time.
Yu Paoyan sat in a wheelchair, staring coldly at Yu Taiduo, with Chang Lüfù by his side.
Seeing Liu Meng enter, all three frowned.
Yu Taiduo spoke first. "What are you doing here? How did you get in?"
Liu Meng offered a polite smile. "You mean those bodyguards outside? I had them restrained while you and your father were talking."
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not here to interrupt the Yu family's discussion about the successor. I'm just here to visit you all and, incidentally, deliver a gift."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question.

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
