I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 47 New Home Daily Life

...

The man lay on his side in bed, causing a depression to form in the large mattress, and cradled in his arms was a tiny bundle, his hand gently and slowly patting her back.

Once he was sure she was sound asleep, Ruka pulled the blanket up over her, almost covering half of her face, but then, worried about her breathing, he left her nose and mouth exposed.

He tiptoed out of the room and went to the kitchen to prepare some finely minced raw meat to feed the three cubs.

The little ones had been weaned too early and were now transitioning to cub nutrient liquid, but Ruka feared they were not getting enough nutrition, so he had consulted the elders in his tribe and learned to feed the cubs raw meat.

In truth, he could have told Qiao Suisui and let her breastfeed them, but Ruka did not want to wear her out. Especially now that she was pregnant and human nutrition was not as easily replenished as a Beastman’s, he would rather starve the cubs than mention it. Naonao was vomiting because he did not adapt well to the nutrient liquid.

Watching the cubs scramble to eat first, his thoughts drifted off. He wondered how the cub that Zong Fang had taken was doing now, whether it had enough to eat...

With that thought, he made a video call to Angsi.

"Colonel."

"How is he?"

Angsi knew he was asking about Zong Fang’s condition and reported, "We rescued him, and all the nano bullets in his body have been removed. He just hasn’t woken up yet and is currently detained at the Military Department. Do you want to come back and interrogate him yourself now?"

Ruka glanced at the door to the master bedroom and said, "Wait a bit. How about things at the Imperial Court?"

"Not so good. The Military Department essentially takes orders only from the Sun, but now Prince Neo has had everyone sign a petition, aiming to gain more support. And Prince Ash hasn’t given up the siege, the whole Imperial Court is a mess right now."

Angsi recalled what happened today, how Princess Isabelle’s spouses, seeing the situation turning sour, had dropped her and fled back to their own member countries, leaving only the most inconspicuous male from a small family by her side. Other members of the Royal Family all flocked to Prince Lanze, seeking a foreknowledge, but for some reason, Prince Lanze remained unmoved and refused to see anyone.

Ruka uttered a grunt, gave a few instructions, and then ended the call. He habitually reached into his trouser pocket for a cigarette, then remembered that he had quit smoking some time ago.

Since finding Suisui again, he had forced himself to quit. It was hard at first and he would feel terribly uncomfortable, but he gradually got used to it. He knew she did not like the smell, and now that she was pregnant, he could not allow her to be exposed to cigarette smoke.

The man checked the time; he could still keep her company for two more hours before he had to deal with the affairs of the Military Department. Once more, he silently returned to the room, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and closed his eyes, greedily breathing in her scent.

Qiao Suisui had a dreamless night and slept deeply. When she awoke, she found a cup of warm water by the bed, the space beside her was empty, and she had no idea when Ruka had left.

After changing her clothes and freshening up, she went downstairs to find breakfast already laid out on the table, which must have been made by Ruka before he left.

She stared blankly at the seven or eight dishes on the table... Right now, it was just the two of them and three cubs in the house, so it felt very much like a home, and evidently, Ruka was the gentle and dependable husband. She didn’t need to take care of the cubs herself, didn’t have to cook her own meals, and not to mention material needs; since giving birth, Qiao Suisui hadn’t spent a penny, all expenses for her and the cubs were taken care of by Ruka...

She ate while resting her chin on her hand, her cheeks puffed out, blinking as she pondered.

Even though they weren’t a formally mated couple, why did it feel like they were living day-to-day together?

After breakfast, Qiao Suisui began to get busy.

She first video-called Lanze via the light computer. Ever since she left, she made it a point to check on his rehabilitation progress every day.

"I’m doing well, Suisui. You don’t need to worry about things here."

"Really? But I’ve read on Star Nebula that there’s a rumor spreading about heresy within the Auslan Royal Family, and people are beginning to doubt."

Lanze smiled gently and said, "In another ten days, it will be fine."

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Seeing how certain he was, and thinking of his foreknowledge ability, Qiao Suisui didn’t ask further.

"Then after ten days, shall we go register at the Female Protection Association?"

Lanze was stunned.

With recent upheavals occurring frequently, they should have held the coupling ceremony two days ago, but given the current situation, it had to be postponed. Seeing that Qiao Suisui hadn’t brought it up, Lanze thought that the matter would simply fade away, but to his surprise, she remembered it all along.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift, but he strained to suppress it, not wanting to show his excitement. Yet even so, the corners of his eyes crinkled with a fine smile.

"Um... okay, I’ll have someone prepare it."

Qiao Suisui said, "It’s really not necessary to make it too grand. Right after the internal conflict is over, it won’t be wise to do anything too high-profile."

She wanted to keep her word, after all, she had already moved into this house. Although Gorba III’s life was hanging by a thread, and the threat to use Ruka to coerce her effectively resolved, she wouldn’t need to couple with any male. But Lanze had injured his legs to save her; would any female be willing to couple with him after that? The more she thought about it, the guiltier she felt.

System had mentioned that Lanze had superior genes. After all, she was doing this for the points, and if Lanze agreed, she didn’t mind bearing a child for him. In doing so, she would not only consolidate his position in the Royal Family but also ease her own feelings of guilt. At the end of the day, Qiao Suisui still felt that she should take responsibility for Lanze.

"We can just go to the Female Protection Association and register as mates. Keep it simple."

Of course, Lanze had no objections. "I’ll follow your lead."

They chatted for a bit longer, and finally, with a hint of concern, Lanze instructed, "By the way, Suisui, don’t open the door to strangers these next few days."

"Huh? What’s going on?"

Lanze hesitated, considering she was pregnant and shouldn’t be burdened with too much worry, and since Ruka should always be by her side, he shook his head and chuckled, "Nothing serious. It’s just a bit chaotic lately, just be cautious."

After hanging up the video call, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a weight she had been carrying on her shoulders had been lifted. She felt a sense of relief for having resolved a troublesome matter and didn’t ponder too much on Lanze’s final words, because soon after, she received a batch of furniture she had ordered through the light computer the night before.

Ruka had already decorated the first floor, just waiting to be equipped with the necessary living facilities before renting it out.

Qiao Suisui signed for the delivery, then started to arrange the items piece by piece. All packages in this world came in compressed packaging. Every package dispatched followed the standard size, as small as an A4 sheet of paper and almost negligible in weight, which was truly mind-boggling how it was achieved.

Even carrying several packets at a time proved inconvenient for Qiao Suisui with her pregnant belly. At that moment, she walked to the largest room on the first floor with two stacked parcels, placed them in position, and pressed the confirmation button on her light computer. The box, originally the size of an A4 sheet, emitted a ’pop’ sound, and like popcorn exploding, a double bed sprung out from the box and landed firmly on the floor.
