Chapter 427 The Little Thing Kicks Someone, His Highness Grieved All Night

Although many people were shocked and enlightened by Si Yuting this time, the root cause was that the increase in fertility value was not significant. Rather than trusting the gene pool, which had not yielded results for many years and had a poor reputation, they preferred to believe in the actual benefits they had already gained.

But what if the temptation is big enough, like increasing the fertility value from 20 to 100?

What if gene banks were willing to share their research findings?

Never test human nature.

Si Yuting stared at her with his dark eyes: "Are you afraid?"

Qu Tong snorted lightly, "How could I be afraid? Only the weak are afraid, and I am not weak."

"Your spiritual thread told me that it is still in my spiritual sea."

Qu Tong: "..."

"Well, I am a little worried. I am an orphan with no one to rely on, no background, and no power. Who knows when I might end up living a life on the run."

Si Yuting watched as Qu Tong spoke self-deprecatingly, as if it were commonplace, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Following Qu Tong's hand, he knelt on one knee in front of her, straightened his back, met her gaze, and took her hand:

"Don't be afraid, Ali."

"Remember this, you are my wife. I will not let anything happen to you. Even if I die, I will make sure you and the baby are taken care of."

"From the moment I decided to go to the Casa Empire to bring you back, I was already prepared to protect you for the rest of my life."

“You might feel a sense of disconnect when I say this. The law can be a principle, it can be a weapon, but you are the bottom line. I’m sorry to let you see such a selfish me.”

"And Ali, the Canaan Empire already has comprehensive laws that prohibit any research that goes against one's own will. Not only will I stand by your side, but the law will also stand by your side."

Si Yuting took Qu Tong's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, his gaze tender:

"Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy, don't worry, leave everything to me, try to trust your husband, okay?"

Si Yuting's words were very pleasant to hear, like a beautiful vow. His hands were large, warm, and powerful.

Qu Tong's eyes felt a little sore.

Hmph! Don't they know pregnant women are prone to mood swings?

Not wanting Si Yuting to see her acting coy, she pulled him up from the ground, pushed his hand away, and quietly turned her face away. "I know, I'm not afraid with my husband here. Don't you have something to do? Go and take care of it."

Si Yuting hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll take care of it. If you can't sleep, come find me. I won't go out; I'll stay next door."

Qu Tong nodded. "Do you want me to extract the spirit threads for you?"

"No need, it won't affect anything." He only gets special sensations when Ali is controlling the mental threads.

After Si Yuting closed the door, he could no longer hold back his tears, which fell silently onto the blanket.

She believes it.

I've always believed it.

Otherwise, why would someone as insecure as her tell him everything?

If the suffering in the first half of her life was a process of building up to a climax, then she could feel no hatred at all.

After walking alone in the night for too long, one might long for someone to watch the sunrise with.

She gained so much during her two years here.

How could the husband she picked up so easily be so good? And how could he be so good with words?

It took Qu Tong a while to calm down.

She wiped away her tears, sniffed, and felt a little embarrassed.

I searched online and found out if pregnant women are all particularly emotional and prone to crying.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Qu Tong pulled the blanket over herself and went to sleep, feeling at ease.

Qu Tong slept soundly and woke up to a message from the Empress. The matter on the StarNet had been resolved, and she was told not to worry about Luo Yixing. No one was allowed to make a move on Luo Yixing without her permission. She was assured that the National Assembly would give her a satisfactory answer regarding today's events.

Qu Tong was touched by the Empress's kindness and flirted with her for a while through the personal terminal.

Then I went downstairs to find Si Yuting. I vaguely heard Cheng Feng come by earlier.

She took out a flower bag to make some tea when Si Yuting came in after finishing his work.

And it brought bad news.

Lan Weiying ran away!

Yes, that's right!

The unexpected still happened.

Before the army arrived at the Apothecary Guild and the Lan family's main residence in two separate directions, Lan Weiying had already run away.

Even Lan Jianghong and Lan Yuanhui didn't have time to be brought along.

Qu Tong was starting to admire Lan Weiying; she was a cunning rabbit with three burrows, truly difficult to kill!

The entire process took only one day, which means that Lan Weiying may have already left before they arrived at the capital star.

Qu Tong lost all interest in making tea, and her molars were grinding together so hard they were making a creaking sound.

"Wasn't it supposed to be kept completely secret? Where did Lan Weiying get this information from?"

Si Yuting was also unable to answer Qu Tong's question.

Qu Tong took a bottle of purified water from the refrigerator to calm down, but Si Yuting took it away and replaced it with warm water.

"Drink less iced drinks."

Qu Tong drank a large glass of warm water in a sullen mood. Si Yuting hugged her and comforted her, "An arrest warrant has been issued, and Wen You has also taken people to search for you. Don't be too anxious; it's not good for your health."

Qu Tong knew in his heart that with so many planets in the Canaan Empire, and Lan Weiying traveling in a private aircraft with an unknown destination, it would be difficult to find her if she wanted to hide.

However, she listened to Si Yuting's advice and didn't dwell on the matter too much, since she couldn't possibly go looking for it herself now.

Before leaving, Si Yuting apologized to Qu Tong with great remorse, saying that he would work less overtime and spend more time with her, but there were some things he had to deal with as soon as possible.

He kissed his wife's forehead tenderly and promised, "I will try my best to come back."

"I'm not blaming you, go ahead." Qu Tong waved her hand magnanimously.

She's not someone who can't live without someone.

Not only has she become abnormal since becoming pregnant, but Si Yuting has also become so clingy.

In the dead of night, when Si Yuting returned to Yue Lan Bay exhausted, it was already three in the morning.

I went back to my bedroom, took a shower, sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while, then got up and went to the next room.

As usual, Ali left him a spot on the outside.

Si Yuting tiptoed onto the bed and pulled his sweet and soft wife into his arms.

With his five fingers slightly spread, he placed them on Qu Tong's lower abdomen through her clothes.

He moved it up and down a bit and it seemed a little chubby, but he liked it anyway.

In the darkness, Si Yuting suddenly opened his eyes.

Something happened... I kicked his hand!

Is it a baby?

Si Yuting held his breath and focused, keeping his hands in place as he continued to feel.

After waiting for a while, just as Si Yuting was wondering if he had imagined it, his subordinates gave him another nudge.

Although it was very slight, he was certain he really felt it!

Si Yuting's heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable joy.

I really want to wake Ali up and tell her that their baby just kicked her, that their baby can move.

But reason kept him still, not daring to wake Ali.

But he really wanted to share this good news with Ali...

The little guy seemed to have turned over because he wasn't sleeping well at night, and then he didn't move again.

But he couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Si Yuting agonized over it all night, wasting his precious rest time.
