Apocalypse Beginning: I’m Pregnant with the Blackened Male Lead’s Child

After one night’s sleep, Su Wan wakes up to find she’s transmigrated into an apocalypse novel—as the vicious side character who starts off by stealing the female lead’s space, cruelly tortu...

Chapter 17: Unfathomable Thoughts

Su Wan's face froze, then she regained her composure: "This is a private matter between Lu Shiyan and me."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Ma's face, but she insisted: "But Miss, if you are really pregnant, you will need special care. I have taken care of many pregnant ladies before, and I know what to do."

Su Wan secretly thought it was not good. It had only been a few days since the apocalypse, and Zhang Ma had already started to get close to her. She definitely had bad intentions. She suddenly remembered that after the original owner died, it was Zhang Ma who took a few servants to join the heroine and sold out the villa's defense system.

"I'm fine now." Su Wan's voice was cold, with a sense of distance that did not allow for questioning.

"I'm hungry, you go out first."

Aunt Zhang paused, as if she wanted to say something, but under Su Wan's cold attitude, she finally didn't open her mouth.

She moved her feet and turned to leave.

Su Wan's eyes followed her back until the door was gently closed with a light "click".

The door is completely closed.

Su Wan then relaxed his tense shoulders and let out a breath.

She walked to the table and looked at the bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup.

The golden soup, thin white noodles, and a few slices of green vegetables dotted in between, the aroma was rich and should have been tempting.

She picked up the chopsticks and picked up a strand of noodles, but her stomach suddenly churned.

She suddenly put down her chopsticks, supported herself on the edge of the table with one hand, and bent down.

The acid in my stomach surged up uncontrollably.

vomit--

Three days.

It has only been three days since she came to this world full of dangers.

She was almost suffocating from the day-to-day vigilance and precautions.

Hunger and nausea, two feelings torn her apart.

Both the body and the mind have reached a critical point.

A feeling of powerlessness that was almost destructive swept over me.

It has been like this for the past few days. She eats and vomits, then eats and vomits. She has no energy to exercise at all.

She lowered her head and her eyes fell on her flat belly.

No way…

Did you really win the prize?

Not only can you travel through a book, but you can also get a buy one get one free gift?

The thought made her shudder and her stomach churn even more.

Lu Shiyan stood not far away, looking at her embarrassed appearance, his brows furrowed tightly. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Wan didn't have the strength to raise her head, she just nodded with difficulty, letting out pitiful sobs in her throat.

Mainly because I was hungry.

I was also shocked by the news that I might be pregnant.

"You..." His voice stopped abruptly, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes that Su Wan could not understand.

Su Wan wanted to speak, but she felt a severe headache, her eyes went dark, and she fell forward.

In the last moment before she lost consciousness, she felt a pair of strong arms catch her falling body.

When she woke up again, Su Wan found herself lying on the bed. Lu Shiyan was sitting on a chair beside the bed, looking at her expressionlessly.

"You were unconscious for half an hour." His voice was terrifyingly calm. "You are malnourished and overly stressed."

Su Wan blinked weakly and said nothing.

"If you are really pregnant," Lu Shiyan suddenly said in a low voice, "this state is extremely bad for the fetus."

"I... am hungry..." She finally squeezed out two words, with a crying tone, sounding aggrieved.

"What do you want to eat?" Lu Shiyan asked, his tone flat and no emotion could be heard.

"Malatang!" Su Wan immediately named the dish, her eyes brightening, "I want it extra spicy! Filled with beef fat, tripe, luncheon meat, and instant noodles!"

She paused, then added, "Another bottle of iced Coke! The kind that makes bubbles!"

After saying that, she looked at him expectantly, like a puppy waiting to be fed.

Lu Shiyan?

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Lu Shiyan's face seemed to become even colder.

He paced a few steps, his back facing her.

"No, there isn't." He said firmly.

“That’s junk food,” he added, and with good reason.

Su Wan's hope was shattered in an instant, and tears fell from her eyes.

"Woo... I knew it..." She sobbed, accusing the evil capitalist.

"Auntie Zhang will prepare the porridge." Lu Shiyan left this sentence and turned to leave the room.

Half an hour later, Aunt Zhang came in with a bowl of steaming lean meat porridge. "Miss, Mr. Lu specifically told me that you need to supplement your nutrition. This is made with the fresh meat in reserve, and it is very nutritious."

Su Wan took the bowl of porridge and tasted it carefully. Unexpectedly, she did not feel nauseous this time, but her appetite was opened.

While eating, the door was pushed open again. Lu Shiyan walked to the bed with a small bag in his hand.

"What...is this?" Su Wan asked warily.

Lu Shiyan opened the bag, and inside were a few candies and a bottle of Coke. "It's not iced, and it's not spicy hot." His voice was still cold, but his actions did not match his tone, "But it's better than nothing."

Su Wan's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she saw. This man who once swore to kill her actually found candy and Coke for her?

"Thank...thank you." She stammered, reached out to take the bag, but accidentally touched Lu Shiyan's fingers.

The electric touch made both of them tremble at the same time. Lu Shiyan quickly withdrew his hand, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Don't think too much," he said coldly, "It's just to... ensure the health of the child."

Okay.

It turned out to be an overflow of fatherly love, but unfortunately the object was the air.

She, Su Wan, is a great liar of the century who cheats people with nothing but "air". She also cheats people for food, drinks and sweets.

It's really... a sin. But the sugar is still sweet, and the Coke is still happy water, although it's not cold.

Liar's guilt? It doesn't exist.

Su Wan held the bottle of room temperature Coke and peeled a candy and put it in her mouth. The sweetness melted on her tongue.

Then, she closed her eyes with a clear conscience. She slept so soundly that her saliva almost flowed onto the pillow.

The next day, the sun was just pouring in through the windows.

Su Wan struggled to stand up, and immediately her stomach began to surge.

The remaining sleepiness was completely washed away by the surging feeling of nausea.

Wow, I slept until noon the next day.

She held onto the wall and moved down the stairs step by step.

In the dining room, Aunt Zhang was tending to the stove. A white porcelain bowl was filled with warm porridge, and next to it was a bowl of fragrant pork rib soup.

"Miss, are you awake? Eat something while it's hot." Aunt Zhang brought it over.

Su Wan picked up the spoon and took only a sip.

The familiar fishy-sweet feeling rushed straight into my throat.

She pushed the chair back sharply and made a great dash to the bathroom.

The little bit of mercy that had just entered her mouth, along with the acid in her stomach, was mercilessly returned to the toilet.

By the time she finished rinsing her mouth, Aunt Zhang had already cleaned the table with quick movements.

Su Wan felt that her stomach might need to debut on its own as it had too many dramas.

"The master and Xiao Han went out early in the morning." Aunt Zhang's voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

"He said he was going to the nearby medical clinic."

"Bang--" The silver spoon in Su Wan's hand slipped out of his hand and fell on the smooth floor.
