Several months later, in the afternoon.
Under the warm summer sun of the countryside, Gu Chenan opened his eyes amidst the green shade of the mountains. At his feet, nameless wildflowers bloomed.
"Awake?"
Nearby, Su Qianmo sat on a picnic mat, tidying up a lunchbox, dressed in a floral dress.
"Didn't I tell you to leave it to me?"
Gu Chenan got up and walked over, taking the lunchbox from Su Qianmo's hands to organize it himself.
"I saw you sleeping," Su Qianmo smiled, "so I thought I'd tidy up a bit."
"If I didn't ask you to do it, don't just go ahead and do it. What if you hurt the baby?"
As he spoke, Gu Chenan glanced at Su Qianmo's slightly protruding belly.
"It's not that serious," Su Qianmo chuckled.
Gu Chenan finished organizing the lunchbox and packed everything into a bag, saying, "I've arranged for someone to look after things at the company. You just focus on resting here and taking care of the baby!"
"The air in the countryside is fresh, and there's less radiation. It's good for both you and the baby."
"Oh," Su Qianmo nodded, a slight smile curling her lips.
"Let's head back now. We've had enough sun for today."
Gu Chenan slung the backpack over his shoulder, rolled up the picnic mat, and tucked it under his arm. He reached out and took Su Qianmo's hand, leading her towards a countryside villa not far away.
About a hundred meters from the villa, Bai Yutian, dressed in a maid outfit, suddenly flung open the door and waved excitedly, shouting, "Chenan, Sister Mo, Yuanyuan said the internet is too slow and she's taking Kannon to find an internet cafe nearby! They told me to lie and say they went to buy groceries!"
Before she could finish, two hands suddenly appeared behind her, covering her mouth and dragging her back into the villa.
The next moment, Fang Yuanyuan and Hoshino Kannon peeked out from the door, both wearing awkward smiles.
"Chenan, Yutian is talking nonsense again. We're clearly at home."
This scene made even Gu Chenan laugh. He shook his head and said, "If you two want to go, just go. I didn't say you couldn't."
"Really?" Fang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Of course."
Gu Chenan nodded, "With your skills, I'm not worried about where you go."
Hearing this, Hoshino Kannon also became excited. She raised her hands above her head and shouted enthusiastically, "Great! Today, I'm going to dominate the Summoner's Rift!"
At this, Fang Yuanyuan shot her a disdainful look and said, "A bronze-tier player shouldn't be talking big like that."
"I...," Hoshino Kannon pouted, "I've only been playing for a few months because of you. It's normal to be a bit bad, isn't it?"
"You two..."
Gu Chenan led Su Qianmo into the villa. He placed his hands on Fang Yuanyuan and Hoshino Kannon's foreheads, smiling confidently and proudly, "You two losers should stop comparing who's worse."
"What the!"
"You!"
The two immediately looked like angry kittens, glaring at Gu Chenan with bared teeth.
Gu Chenan chuckled, "Alright, alright. If you want to go, go ahead. Just come back early tonight. Don't make me go looking for you."
"Okay!"
Hearing this, the two rushed upstairs to change their clothes.
In the villa's living room, Tang Yunjin approached with a folder in hand.
"Chenan, today's exercise plan."
Gu Chenan took the folder, glanced at it, and gave a satisfied thumbs up. "As expected of my master. These exercises aren't too strenuous but are enough to keep Qianmo in shape. Impressive!"
"Hehe," Tang Yunjin smiled proudly, "Alright, take Qianmo to exercise. Don't push her too hard."
"Got it."
With that, Gu Chenan helped Su Qianmo up to the second floor.
*Bang~*
At that moment, Liu Mingrui suddenly burst out of her room, sprinting at breakneck speed towards the bathroom.
Seeing this, Gu Chenan frowned in confusion.
What's going on? Diarrhea?
"Ugh~ Ugh~"
But the next second, he heard the sound of retching coming from the bathroom.
Immediately, Gu Chenan was stunned.
Oh no, could Mingrui be... pregnant too?
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan quickly leaned over the railing and shouted to Tang Yunjin downstairs, "Xiao Tang, come up and help Mingrui check her pulse."
"I'll do it!"
Hearing this, Bai Yutian was the first to rush upstairs.
"Don't mess around," Gu Chenan waved her off.
Bai Yutian frowned, hands on her hips, looking confident. "Chenan, you don't know, but I've learned a lot of medicine from Xiao Tang these days. Checking a pulse is simple!"
"Really?" Gu Chenan was skeptical.
"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you," Bai Yutian said confidently.
At this moment, the bathroom door opened, and Liu Mingrui, looking quite unwell, walked out.
Bai Yutian immediately rushed over, grabbing Liu Mingrui's hand. "Sister Mingrui, let me check your pulse for you."
She placed her fingers on Liu Mingrui's wrist, looking very professional, her brows furrowed, her eyes half-closed, and occasionally making clicking sounds with her tongue.
After a long while, Bai Yutian removed her fingers, stroking an imaginary beard with one hand and pinching and poking with the other, as if divining.
"Well, did you find anything from checking the pulse?" Gu Chenan couldn't stand Bai Yutian's charlatan-like behavior and asked.
"Well..." Bai Yutian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes.
Gu Chenan and the others looked at her expectantly, but Bai Yutian said, "I don't know. I'll go get Xiao Tang."
Gu Chenan: ?
Seriously, are you just messing with Mingrui?
At this time, Hoshino Kannon and Fang Yuanyuan, having changed their clothes, walked out of their room.
During their time in the countryside, their usual attire had been quite plain, but now they had switched to their typical styles.
Hoshino Kannon wore all black: a black crop top, a black mini skirt, and black cotton thigh-high socks.
Fang Yuanyuan wore pink: a white off-shoulder top, pink shorts, and white thigh-high socks.
The two of them standing together looked like sisters.
Seeing Liu Mingrui looking weak, they asked with concern, "Sister Mingrui, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Chenan shrugged, "Probably hit the jackpot..."
Huh?
The two were stunned, then looked down at their own bellies.
"What about us? That time you were with both of us... and you didn't use protection!"
Gu Chenan awkwardly scratched the back of his head, "We'll be more careful next time, I promise."
Soon, Tang Yunjin arrived on the second floor. Under everyone's gaze, she checked Liu Mingrui's pulse.
"A happy pulse," Tang Yunjin said.
"Damn! Really hit the jackpot!" Gu Chenan was immediately panicked.
The pregnancy with Su Qianmo had been an accident, and now there was Liu Mingrui too. That meant after taking care of Su Qianmo, he'd have to take care of Liu Mingrui as well!
Oh man, this harem life isn't what I imagined at all!
Gu Chenan clutched his head, his face filled with distress.
...
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
