“How is this?
When you usually tease me so much, how come now that you know I’m pregnant, you’re scared?”
Ah Yin looked with a playful gaze at the panicked Qian Xunji at this moment.
“I-I-I…” Qian Xunji was at a loss for words.
His original plan was indeed to have a child, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.
Who would have thought that he, a dignified Titled Douluo, could actually get Ah Yin pregnant in just a short month?
One can only say, as expected of the Blue Silver Emperor.
“What?
Knowing you’re going to be a father, you can’t even speak now?” Ah Yin said with a chuckle.
In their month or so of getting along, this was the first time she had seen Qian Xunji so panicked, and she couldn’t help but find it amusing.
“Being a father for the first time, it’s inevitably a bit overwhelming,” Qian Xunji said with some embarrassment.
“Hahaha.” Ah Yin smiled and said, “You, Qian Xunji, actually have a day like this?
You bully me so much normally!”
“Do you still dare now?
Careful you don’t hurt the child in my belly!”
“Be careful…” Qian Xunji hurriedly started to stop Ah Yin, who was jumping up and down.
“What’s wrong with this?
I’m a Soul Master!
Besides, I’ve only just conceived, it’s not that long, surely it’s not that serious?” Ah Yin said playfully.
“Aren’t I just afraid you’ll get hurt?” Qian Xunji said.
“Hehe…” Ah Yin smirked.
“Now you’ve got your wish.
Tell me, do you want a daughter or a son?”
“Me?” Hearing this, Qian Xunji was stunned for a moment and said, “Whether it’s a daughter or a son, I like both.”
If it were a daughter, that would be Qian Renxue; if it were a son, that would be Tang San from the original timeline—either way, he wouldn’t lose out!
“Hehe…” Ah Yin smiled.
“I can sense that there are two little lives, oh.
Why can’t it be both a son and a daughter?”
“Two?” Qian Xunji was struck dumb.
“Could it be Tang San and Qian Renxue from the original timeline?
Or are they new lives?”
“However, whether they are boys or girls, um, I still can’t quite tell right now.
Perhaps in a couple of months, we’ll see.”
Looking at the playful Ah Yin, Qian Xunji had originally thought he wouldn’t be that nervous, but the reality was that he was scared to death with nervousness.
Plans were plans, but when the plan was completed, when he knew that Ah Yin was pregnant, the palms of his hands were sweating.
Perhaps because it was his first time being a father, he was inevitably somewhat unfamiliar with it.
“Um…
Ah Yin, are you tired?
If you’re tired, let’s head back.
Make sure you don’t disturb the fetal Qi.”
Ah Yin looked at Qian Xunji, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly.
“Do you know what word I just thought of?”
“What word?” Qian Xunji asked quizzically.
“Gaining status through one’s son.
When I didn’t have one, you bullied me so much, but the moment I’m pregnant, you care about me so much.”
“That’s quite apt.” Qian Xunji didn’t deny it.
“I haven’t had my fill of fun yet, why go back so early?
And stop worrying so much; a Soul Master’s body isn’t that fragile.”
Ah Yin smiled and patted Qian Xunji’s shoulder.
At this moment, she seemed to have grasped all the initiative, and at the same time, her face bloomed with the maternal radiance belonging uniquely to a mother.
“The world is unpredictable…” Ah Yin sighed inwardly, not expecting to have this brute’s child so quickly.
However, this feeling of being able to turn the tables and manipulate him back felt pretty great—what was up with that?
“Fine, whatever you say.
Whatever you want, just say it.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, I have plenty of money!” Qian Xunji said, patting his chest.
“You wealthy bastard!” Ah Yin chuckled playfully and scolded, “You, you should still spend a little less.
There are children to think about.”
“What is there to fear?” Qian Xunji said.
“The entire Spirit Hall will belong to these two kids in the future!”
“All of it belongs to them?” Ah Yin gently stroked her lower belly.
“Of course!
What else did you think?
Right now, Spirit Hall is mine, but the future belongs to them…
and it belongs to you too!”
Hearing this, Ah Yin’s face flushed red.
What was this overwhelming sense of security?
Actually, Qian Xunji wasn’t so bad after all.
The two continued strolling here.
Whenever Ah Yin took a fancy to something, Qian Xunji would wave his hand grandly, too lazy to even ask for the price.
However, Ah Yin was not like that.
Every time she saw some vendors trying to rip them off, she would argue with reason and logic!
The surroundings were packed with people, and the sky was filled with fluttering lanterns.
“Qian Xunji, look at them.
How about we go buy a lantern too?” Ah Yin looked at the tall Qian Xunji beside her and said.
“Of course we can!” Qian Xunji smiled.
“Patrons, are you looking to buy lanterns?
Are you also here in Yelin City to attend the lantern festival?”
“These lanterns, you see, you write your wishes on them and then release them into the air, and your wishes will come true, oh.”
Hearing this, Qian Xunji directly paid the money.
Ah Yin looked at the lantern in her hand, then used the boss’s brush to write down her wish.
“What did you write?
Let me see.” Qian Xunji poked his head out, wanting to see what on earth Ah Yin would write.
“You can’t look.
Once you look, it won’t come true.” Ah Yin covered her handwriting, not letting Qian Xunji see it.
“If I don’t look, I don’t look.” Qian Xunji said indifferently.
Holding the lantern, Ah Yin came to the riverside with Qian Xunji.
There were many people here, all releasing the lanterns in their hands.
Ah Yin lit the lantern in her hand, then held it up with both hands and slowly released it into the air, merging into that sea of lanterns.
Qian Xunji carried one hand behind his back.
“How truly beautiful.
Yelin City’s lantern festival really lives up to its reputation.
I heard there’s even a performance at the end.”
He looked at Ah Yin beside him.
“Speaking of which, I’m really a bit curious about what on earth you wrote.
Can you tell me?”
Ah Yin shook her head slightly, watching her lantern merge into that sea of lanterns.
Only she knew what she had written.
[I hope my children can grow up safe and sound.
I hope my children won’t have to suffer so much hardship.
I hope Qian Xunji won’t bully me so much.
That’s all.]
Her wish was very simple, just those few brief sentences.
It was the easiest thing to come true, yet also the hardest thing to come true.
Seeing that Ah Yin still didn’t want to tell him, Qian Xunji scratched his ears and cheeks even more anxiously, then released his sensory ability.
Although it was somewhat unethical, he really wanted to know.
Afterwards, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He hadn’t expected Ah Yin’s wish to actually…
be this simple?
“Qian Xunji, do you think my wish will come true?” Ah Yin smiled and looked at Qian Xunji beside her, as if she had already seen through everything.
“What the hell?
Could she be waiting for me right here?” Qian Xunji thought to himself secretly, then put on a smile.
“I think your wish will definitely come true.”
“I think so too,” Ah Yin said like this.
“Speaking of which, when does the performance start?
I’m looking forward to it more and more.”
Ah Yin smoothly took hold of Qian Xunji’s hand.
“Shall we continue walking around to look at things?
We can come back when the performance starts.”
“Whatever you say…” Qian Xunji said indifferently.
That feeling of a racing heartbeat—what was going on?!
“Then let’s go walk around and take a look.” Ah Yin looked at Qian Xunji, then gave a knowing smile.
Afterwards, the two of them continued to stroll around the surroundings, waiting for the performance to begin.
