Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 543: Soccer ball

Like his airways were being constricted, Qie Xieling woke up with a start while gasping for air. He coughed several times before the sound of footsteps followed.

Qie Xieling found that his abdomen was wrapped with silk gauze and so was his arm and shoulder. He rubbed his forehead which was throbbing trying to recall what happened.

Jolie rushed in seeming so excited. She climbed into the bed while yelling, "You are finally awake. Damn, I thought you would sleep forever. You scared me."

Qie Xieling cleared his throat and before he could even ask Jolie brought a cup to his lips. "Here, drink some water," she said being a very attentive bedside nurse.

"How long have I been out?" he asked and Jolie tapped her lips while making a mental calculation. From her expression, he could tell that it had to have been for a long time.

"That long?" he exclaimed and Jolie spread out her fingers counting like she was a primary school kid learning how to do addition.

Qie Xieling, "..."

He couldn’t help but retort, "Aren’t you an AI? Why do you need to count with your fingers."

"Shh shh shh you are messing it up for me, now I have to start again... you have been out of it for fifty-three days."

Qie Xieling, "..."

He knew that the time in the game moved fast but still. That was fifty-three days of in-game days gone. "You are messing with me right?" he said and Jolie chuckled before saying,

"If I wanted to mess with you I would have said that your baby is already born."

Qie Xieling glanced down and touched his belly which was about the size of a soccer ball now. Jolie couldn’t help but gently poke his belly while saying, "At this size, it should be twins. We have been making bets and I bet on twins." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Okay, you are done. Get lost for me," he said but who was he kidding Jolie would never listen to him. She got cosy while waiting for the physician to come and take a look at him.

"Where is Muchen?" he asked after drinking a few sips of the water. Jolie rolled over and lay on the bed with her belly pressed against the bed. She kicked her legs back and forth alternating them while replying, "He is on a rampage. He is reclaiming your people and land for you. He has been punishing all wrongdoers and boy is he heavy-handed."

Qie Xieling’s brow arched. He was about to ask where exactly he was right now when Bo Ailun ran in his breathing heavy. It seemed he had run all the way to get the physician.

Qie Xieling was so happy to see him. He beckoned him over saying, "Bo Bo come give Dad a hug."

Bo Ailun, "..."

The physician, "..."

Bo Ailun hesitated but the physician pushed him forward. He bowed slightly feeling pretty ashamed now that Qie Xieling was found to be the heir to the lost throne. He felt bad for bad-mouthing him to Luo Muchen. Qie Xieling who knew how to hold grudges dragged him down and ruffled his hair to his heart’s content.

"Your majesty... may this servant take a look," said the physician not sure how to deal with this scene of fornication. It seemed young master Luo was already wearing a green hat on the top of his head.

"Wait a moment," he said just as the elders ran in. Their steps suddenly froze seeing Qie Xieling holding another young man in his arms.

Elders, "..."

It wasn’t uncommon for men to have several flowers in their back courtyard let alone the ruler of the land. They just thought that since their emperor would be a ger he wouldn’t have concubines but it turns out they were wrong. As jealous and possessive as Luo Muchen was wouldn’t this problem? On top of that, this young man was the young master’s most trusted helper. Maybe this wasn’t a bad idea. They could be sister husbands just like sister wives and get along.

Feeling their stares Qie Xieling suddenly glanced up and asked, "What’s wrong." With soft thuds, their knees touched the floor and they performed their salutations. Qie Xieling waved his hand gesturing for them to get up.

After they got up the physician went to take a look at him and after confirming that everything was fine they felt a great sense of relief.

The coming days were uneventful. Qie Xieling lay in bed the first few days and the rest of the days he insisted on getting reports on what was happening. This was just an attempt to distract himself. He wanted to see Luo Muchen badly and settle scores with him. Luo Muchen had a debt to pay.

He also dragged along Bo Ailun around to keep him company. Jolie on the other hand ran off at all hours of the day unable to handle Qie Xieling’s mood swings. This meant Bo Ailun was left alone with him constantly getting bossed around.

Rumours quickly spread that the ger King had taken some interest in a new lover while his male queen was out rounding up enemies opposing the King. Bo Ailun had no idea that he had been branded the King’s little lover.

If he knew he would cry tears of blood. He was being bossed around constantly like Qie Xieling had a score to settle with him. It was as though Qie Xieling had a grudge against him.

It was because of this that this rumour reached Luo Muchen’s ears. He had heard that Qie Xieling was awake but he wanted to return to the palace with the two Masters who had run away after clashing with him. One of them was his father and the other was Master Bi.

He had already captured Master Lee and the Zhang family nor the Lee family made an effort to stop him. It was Master Bi who was problematic.

His small army was ready to face off with the mercenary clan under Master Bi’s order. Just when there was about to be a blood bath Bi Yize came out with his tied up father before tossing him in Luo Muchen’s direction. Madam Bi and Bi Yu ran rushed out wailing like it was a funeral and began to beg.
