Chapter 440 My belly can't be hidden any longer.

It was transferred to her by Si Yuting, so it was considered hers too; he had said he could dispose of it as he pleased.

She's not good at management, but she won't lose money by cooperating with Lin Yumo.

"However, my personal computer is broken. I'll have the butler send it to you later."

Lin Yumo did not reply to Qu Tong, as if she had thought of something, and stared blankly at the wooden carving in her hand.

Qu Tong shook her head and hung up the video call.

Of the three thousand ailments that cause death and death, only lovesickness is incurable.

Not to mention the thousands of years that have passed.

Stopping thinking about Lin Yumo, I turned back to analyze the situation.

Si Yuting probably didn't want to worry himself so much, so he didn't tell her about the gene bank and the pressure the National Assembly was putting on him.

Before Qu Tong could even discuss the matter with Si Yuting, the situation worsened.

The reason is that Qu Jiaojiao posted a message online, pointing out that she was the one with a high birth rate.

However, the account was banned less than five minutes after the post was published.

However, the topic of high birth rates is already very sensitive recently, and the post gained attention as soon as it was published. It was screenshotted and forwarded, and quickly went viral online.

【OMG! No way, my dear Princess Consort.】

[No way, no way, could there really be a Heavenly Maiden in this world?]

[Really? Isn't it said that the higher the mental strength level, the lower the fertility value?]

[Not necessarily, Commander Feng's fertility rate is also very high.]

[How could I not have thought of that? Energy plants can increase fertility, and since the princess planted them, her fertility must be quite high.]

So, it's quite possible that I suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.

[Oh my god! My brain has turned into a date! The original poster's account has been banned. Can anyone tell me if this is true or false?]

[So that's why the National Assembly repeatedly asked His Highness the God of War to send back those with high fertility rates, but he refused each time. I never imagined it was because...]

The message was posted and then quickly deleted. Many people, sensing something amiss, went to ask the account owner if they knew anything.

A while later, the account owner posted a status update on their profile page, which read something like: "I deleted the message myself. I wasn't threatened in any way; I just accidentally sent it to the wrong person. Please don't speculate."

This attempt to cover up the truth only confirmed everyone's suspicions, sparking a new round of heated discussion.

Those with connections began inquiring about the recent movements of the National Assembly and soon received a positive answer.

[It's true! High fertility rates are actually on Abel!]

[Didn't they say they hadn't found them? Why are they bringing up whether or not His Highness the God of War should send back those with high fertility rates?]

[This isn't hard to guess. The Crown Princess is a high-fertility individual, so His Highness the God of War naturally doesn't want to send her back. Once she's sent back, the gene pool will immediately match her with another spouse.]

But His Highness the God of War's fertility score is zero!

Regardless, the Crown Princess is a high-fertility individual and a source of hope for the future. Even His Highness, the God of War, cannot imprison her.

High-fertility populations are a treasure for the entire galaxy; General Si cannot be so selfish.

[That's right, the first person with a high fertility rate in 2000 years should at least go back to the gene bank for a checkup.]

Let's bring the princess back to the capital planet. His Highness the God of War is still our god.

But they're husband and wife, and their relationship is so good...

Those who spoke up for Si Yuting were drowned out by the overwhelming condemnation.

Qu Tong looked at the comments and posts, her eyes turning icy cold.

She had long anticipated that once her fertility score was revealed, the public pressure she faced last time would reappear.

Interspersed with veiled revelations and appeals for justice, she simply couldn't believe there wasn't someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As for who it is, Qu Tong knows the answer even with a fool's eyes.

There are only a few people, all on the same boat, so there's no need to distinguish who's who.

As soon as the news broke, Junli's personal computer was also in an uproar.

The first call came from Xu An.

In the video, Xu An's armor was still stained with the blue fluid of the star beast, and there were scratches on his face. Outside the glass behind him, clouds were rushing by.

Xu An, still tidying up, asked with a worried expression, "Little sister, are you alright?"

Qu Tong tilted her head. What could possibly be wrong with her?

Xu An glanced around at Qu Tong's surroundings in the video and asked cautiously in a low voice, "I just checked the StarNet. Are you really being held captive by General Si?"

Qu Tong chuckled, "I'm fine. If I were detained, you wouldn't be able to get through to me on video right now."

Xu An breathed a huge sigh of relief. "I couldn't get through to your personal number, I thought..."

"That quantum computer is broken," Qu Tong explained casually.

"Is your fertility score true?" Xu An only just remembered to ask this question.

Qu Tong smiled, and Xu An understood. "This is my last performance evaluation. After I go back, I will be promoted to a first-class warrant officer and can lead 2,000 soldiers."

Xu An thought about Si Yuting's 300,000 troops and felt a little embarrassed. "Although it's a bit small, don't be afraid."

Qu Tong understood Xu An's meaning and felt a warmth in her heart. "Congratulations, brother! You're amazing!"

Xu An felt uncomfortable after being praised by Qu Tong.

After exchanging a few words, Old Yuan called again.

They mostly asked her about her fertility and personal safety.

She selected a few important messages from the others to reply to.

"Phew!" Qu Tong let out a long breath, stood up from the chair, and patted her skirt.

Having enjoyed such a carefree life under Si Yuting's wing for so long, it's time to do something.

She's not some delicate flower, so it wasn't a big deal in itself. But we can't let Si Yuting be subjected to cyberbullying for no reason.

Qu Tong left the room to find Si Yuting.

Si Yuting left his room for her, because he needed to meet with his subordinates and hold video conferences, and he was afraid of disturbing her, so he moved to another office.

As soon as he stepped outside, he ran into Xiong Lie, who had just come out of Si Yuting's new office.

After saying goodbye, Xiong Lie glanced at Qu Tong's stomach before leaving, scratching his head and muttering, "Could it be that Old Li's cooking skills have improved recently? Is Madam overeating? I'll go check on her at noon."

Qu Tong touched her belly, which was still somewhat visible even though it was covered by the loose cotton dress.

Si Yuting was worried that inhaling too much cooking fumes would be bad for her health, so he didn't let her cook every day. However, after she became pregnant, she couldn't drink the nutritional supplements, so Si Yuting asked Lao Li, the head chef in the kitchen, to cook for her separately, and she only needed to give some guidance.

Qu Tong found this too troublesome, so she ate with the others, but the ingredients were all sent from Luo Yi Star by Xiang Bin.

My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting harder to hide. This will be exposed sooner or later.

After Si Yuting called him in, seeing no response for a long time, he looked up and saw Qu Tong standing at the door with a wrinkled face.

"Why are you here? You can call me via your personal terminal if you need anything." Si Yuting stood up from his seat and went to the door to greet Qu Tong.
