Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 661 Xiao Wenyao and Yelv Nanyan are Pregnant_2
Chapter 661 Chapter 398 Xiao Wenyao and Yelv Nanyan are Pregnant_2
Xiao Wenyao, though fond of amusement and entirely unprepared to be a mother, had always been anxious that she would not have children and thus suffer from Lu Chen's disdain.
After coming to the North Prince Mansion, she had accepted many of Great Sum's concepts, so she was very clear about how important children were to a woman of Great Sum.
In order to avoid being abandoned by Lu Chen, she had tried every means to conceive his child, but no matter how hard she tried, her belly still showed no sign of response.
Hearing Xiao Wenyao's words, Yelv Nanyan, who was in the bath, sighed. She also understood this principle clearly.
She had long prepared clothes for the child, yet there was still no movement in her belly. Lu Chen had been visiting her every night to dote on her, but her belly remained unresponsive, and later Lu Chen stopped coming to Spring Sound Court as often.
Yelv Nanyan even doubted whether Lu Chen had given up on the idea of her bearing his offspring.
Just as Yelv Nanyan was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a scream from outside the bathroom. At this sound, Yelv Nanyan immediately snapped back to attention and hurriedly asked, "What's happened?"
No sooner had she spoken than there came no reply from Xiao Wenyao outside, making Yelv Nanyan immediately sense that something was amiss. She swiftly instructed the maidservant inside the bathroom, "Ping'er, go out and see what's the matter."
"Yes, madam."
The maidservant promptly left the bathroom and headed to the bedroom, but after the maidservant went out, there was no sound to be heard.
Yelv Nanyan frowned slightly, hurriedly got out of the bathing pool, wrapped herself in her clothes, and then asked tentatively, "Ping'er, what's happened outside?"
Just as Yelv Nanyan had suspected, the maidservant did not answer her, a sure sign that something had happened!
Yelv Nanyan immediately rushed out and was about to take action when she discovered that the maidservant Ping'er was standing in the middle of the bedroom, her face flushed as she looked in the direction of the bed.
Yelv Nanyan's gaze also immediately turned that way, only to see an assassin crouched behind Xiao Wenyao, attempting to stab her. Xiao Wenyao's mouth was covered by the assassin, preventing her from speaking, leaving her only able to make muffled "mmmph" noises.
Just then, with a few assassinating moves executed by the assassin, Xiao Wenyao's body suddenly grew rigid.
Yelv Nanyan cast a resentful glance at the sneaky assassin, then turned and walked back to the bathroom, saying as she went, "Prince comes to visit this concubine, why not have the maidservant announce it? I thought Yaoyao had encountered an assassin."
Although Lu Chen was also an assassin and after a life, the assassin outside was killing people, whereas the assassin Lu Chen was after a life in spirit, and those were two different matters.
Upon seeing Yelv Nanyan come out, Lu Chen no longer covered Xiao Wenyao's mouth. At this point, Xiao Wenyao, still catching her breath, said, "Prince... Prince... You scared me to death..."
Just as she was lying on the bed, a man suddenly appeared, pinned her down, and even gagged and stabbed at her, making her think she had been attacked by a villain... freewebnσvel.cѳm
But on second thought, the man behind her was a great villain indeed; otherwise, how could he bully her like this?
As he busied himself, Lu Chen said with a smile, "I'm just testing your alertness. Although this is the Prince's Mansion, you must not let your guard down. What would you do if an assassin came one day?"
Continuing, he looked down at Xiao Wenyao, "I'm right, aren't I, Yaoyao?"
Xiao Wenyao replied weakly, "Prince... Prince... You're right, I will remain vigilant in the future."
Meanwhile, Yelv Nanyan had returned to the bathroom to continue washing herself. She had planned on soaking in the bath for a bit longer, but since the master of the house had arrived, she had to finish quickly and then tend to that little rascal.
Soon, Yelv Nanyan came out from the bathroom, now wearing only a white undershirt and panties.
Having just bathed, Yelv Nanyan was fragrant with the scent of flowers, and with some droplets still in her hair, her whole being appeared both pure and desirable.
Lu Chen put Xiao Wenyao aside and pulled Yelv Nanyan directly in front of him, embracing her soft and tender body.
With a face slightly flushed, Yelv Nanyan whispered, "Prince, perhaps we should turn off these Colored Glaze Lamps first?"
Lu Chen asked in puzzlement, "Why so?"
With a touch of shyness, Yelv Nanyan replied, "It's a little too bright."
Previously, they would light candles at night, and the dim light of the candles made it hard to see people, allowing Yelv Nanyan to feel more unrestrained.
Now that the Colored Glaze Lamps illuminated the room as if it were daylight, Yelv Nanyan felt as if she were doing those things in broad daylight, making it difficult for her to let go.
Hearing Yelv Nanyan's words, Lu Chen snorted with laughter, then said, "I had guessed you might say something like that, so I had them install low-wattage bulbs."
He then instructed the maidservant, "Turn off the main lamp and switch on the small one."
As he finished speaking, the maidservant beside the lamp immediately turned off the room's main lamp and then switched on the small one.
The light from the small lamp was dim, just like when they used to light candles, and instantly, the room filled with the warm, yellow glow of the dim light. The atmosphere between Lu Chen and Yelv Nanyan grew increasingly intimate.
