Chapter 498: Chapter 500: A Family of Three (Part 4)
Mu Ruyue was slightly taken aback, and when she looked up, she met the man’s loving Purple Eyes, her heart warming up, “Didn’t you say you wanted to have seventeen or eighteen children? Now it’s just one pregnancy, and you don’t want any more?”
“Having one Jingjing, this little one is enough,” Ye Wuchen reached out to pull the woman into his arms, his large hand gently caressing her belly through the thin clothes, a tender look in his Purple Eyes, “Muer, I heard about a kind of medicinal herb that can allow a man to carry a child instead of a woman. How about you don’t give birth anymore, and I take your place?”
Just thinking about the time Mu Ruyue had fainted due to bearing this little one made Ye Wuchen’s heart ache, how could he bear to see her continue to suffer?
Mu Ruyue was speechless.
Ye Wuchen being pregnant…she could hardly imagine it.
“Wuchen, that kind of thing is just nonsense that others talk about. Such a thing couldn’t possibly exist; men don’t ovulate, so how could they have babies?”
“Ovulate, what is that?”
“…”
Mu Ruyue was stunned, how could she have forgotten, this continent didn’t have modern science, these people wouldn’t understand that knowledge…
“My dear,” Ye Wuchen lifted his aggrieved eyes, looking rather pitiful, “then you shouldn’t give birth anymore. Just one has already tormented you so long, having a few more would tire you out.”
Although he wanted many children with her, he couldn’t bear to see her suffer more…
“Okay.”
Mu Ruyue nodded gently, “Having Jingjing and the little one in my belly is enough. Wuchen, there’s something else I need to tell you.”
Suddenly, Mu Ruyue paused, then she told Wuchen about what had happened at the Xiao Family.
When Ye Wuchen learned that this little one might be very significant, his expression gradually grew more solemn, and after a while, he turned to Mu Ruyue, his lips curling up as he spoke, “No matter who he is, he’s our son. Now that we are more in number, the three of us can keep you safe together.”
Mu Ruyue smiled, her head resting against Ye Wuchen’s chest, slowly closing her eyes.
With this man by her side, she always felt so secure…
Dawn was breaking.
Just as Mu Ruyue got out of bed, she was informed that someone was asking to see her. Upon seeing the visitor, she was a bit surprised and smiled lightly, “Family Head Xiao, what brings you here?”
Regarding Xiao Baixuan, Mu Ruyue felt somewhat embarrassed; after all, he had always been good to her elder brother, yet she had caused such a stir in the Xiao Family.
And even killed the Ancestor Elders Qingshi.
“Things at the Xiao Family are settled, so of course, I had to come out,” Xiao Baixuan chuckled openly.
Hearing this, Mu Ruyue was a bit stunned, “Even though it wasn’t me who killed your son, I indeed wanted to kill him, and I did kill an elder of your Xiao family, aren’t you angry?”
“Hmph!” Xiao Baixuan snorted coldly, “Qingshi had it coming to him; I had been displeased with him for a long time. It’s better that he died sooner to be reincarnated. As for my third son, he was utterly disgraceful. I am not unreasonable, honestly, since your arrival at the Xiao Family, I had been in hiding, knowing that you would surely take action, and it was good to cleanse the Xiao Family a bit, so as not to have people come begging me for help because of my relationship with Xiao Feng. So I had been hiding away, and it turned out to be quite effective, hahaha…”
Mu Ruyue was completely dumbfounded.
So Xiao Baixuan had such plans all along? Was she being used? With this thought, she couldn’t help but glare at him…
