98. Pregnancy

Koki's first heat came later than most female succubi.

This is probably why it lasted for an exceptionally long time.

11 days later...

"Knock knock!"

The door to the Cloud Realm was knocked on for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

At this moment, his beautiful wife had finished her last bit of heat and had fallen into a deep sleep.

Gu Zhao smiled and kissed her rosy cheeks with satisfaction. After tucking her in, he lazily got up to open the door.

"Click~"

When the door opened and Gu Zhao saw the person outside, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Oh." Looking at Gu Ye's indifferent face, he raised his lips and said, "A rare guest indeed. What brings you to my place today?"

Gu Ye didn't speak, his indifferent gaze sweeping over his bare upper body.

It's amazing, with a tough, textured surface covered in scratches and much more.

"You don't answer the phone, you don't reply to messages, and you've been on leave for almost two weeks just to do this?"

Gu Ye was incredulous, so much so that his narrow, sharp phoenix eyes widened slightly.

"Gu Zhao, are you an idiot? Is this the only thing on your head?"

"Hey hey hey~"

Gu Zhao crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the doorframe, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Life's big events are important too!" He smiled. "Wouldn't you be happy if I could give you a little nephew and niece to inherit your vast business empire sooner?"

"you……"

Gu Ye was furious; his usually calm and aloof voice trembled with suppressed emotion: "From now on, when we go out..."

He took a deep breath: "Don't say you're from the Gu family, and don't say you're my brother!"

"You're giving me one last day!"

He looked at him with a complicated expression, "Get back to work by tomorrow, or don't blame me for packing you and your precious little succubus up and throwing you out of the Gu family, understand?"

After he finished speaking, he no longer cared about the proper etiquette of a refined young nobleman and slammed the door shut in anger.

Gu Zhao chuckled, opened the door again, and said to his back, "There are about 280 days left until your little nephew and niece are born. Remember to prepare your gifts, my dear uncle!"

Gu Ye: "...Get lost!"

Hearing the loud "Get out!", Gu Zhao smiled, turned around, lazily closed the door with his tail, and then returned to the bedroom to his sleeping wife.

After more than ten days of being bathed in love, her appearance has undergone some subtle changes.

Her innocent face had lost some of her girlish naiveté, and she had become more charming and alluring.

Her long, pinkish-white hair had darkened at the ends, and her horns had grown about 1cm longer, making her look as fully mature as her mother in her memory.

It's like crossing a hurdle and about to embrace a new identity, finally gaining the ability to conceive and have a baby.

Looking at her innocent and peaceful sleeping face, Gu Zhao's heart melted instantly.

Without thinking, he gently lifted the blanket and placed his large hand on her slightly protruding belly.

"This time..."

He murmured, a hint of hope in his voice: "Surely I'll get it by now?"

Gu Zhao had no doubt about his abilities.

Of course, the final result did not disappoint him.

In late March, after the spring equinox, in that season when the winter snow melted and the grass grew and birds flew, Ke Qi found out she was pregnant.

On that day, every employee of Fogworld Future received a year-end bonus ranging from 66,666 to 666,666 from the CEO.

Their generosity is outrageous.

On that day, An Qingyao, a national superstar who has always maintained a low profile since retiring from acting, showcased her astonishing wealth for the first time. She launched a Weibo giveaway for a 1 billion yuan luxury mansion located in the heart of City A, along with various luxury cars and jewelry worth a total of 1 billion yuan, with the caption: 【What a perfect day! @KiKi Our baby is so amazing, Mommy loves you! /heart//heart//heart/】

This statement left netizens across the internet completely dumbfounded.

【Yaoyao, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy?】

[Holy crap, 2 billion! Mom, my dearest Mommy, look closely, I'm your long-lost daughter of over 20 years!]

[What does it mean if I don't tag KiKi? Mom? Holy crap, is KiKi your daughter with President Gu? @Anqingyao @ShengyaoGroupOfficialWeibo]

[It matches up! I remember that a few years after Yaoyao gave birth to Yeye, she was photographed with a pregnant belly again. Rumor has it that KiKi is 21 years old this year, the timing matches up! Goodness, Zhuoyan and Daddy, you two kept this from us for so long! @Anqingyao @Shengyao Group Official Weibo]

[So why are we having such a big prize? Did our KiKi win some international award? @AnQingyao @ShengyaoGroupOfficialWeibo]

Is KiKi really your daughter? This is a tearjerker of my generation! KiKi is so beautiful, she must be, right? @AnQingyao @ShengyaoGroupOfficialWeibo My treasure CP that I've waited over 20 years for, please say something!

[You tagged the wrong person. Gu Ye is now in charge of Shengyao Group. Our Boss Zhuoyan's alternate account is this: @MyWifeIsTheMostBeautifulInTheWorld!]

[Bullshit! How could my noble and aloof patriarch, Zhuoyan, possibly choose such a stupid name!]

[Wait, why did the official Weibo account of Fogworld Future retweet this post and tag @FogworldFutureTechOfficialWeibo? Do you want to win a prize too? Is the account owner desperate for money?]

If I remember correctly, Fogworld Future is one of Shengyao's subsidiaries, right? @ShengyaoGroupOfficial, what's going on? Is this a direct admission that KiKi is the daughter of the Gu family?

[Right? @ShengyaoGroupOfficialWeibo]

[Right, right, right? @ShengyaoGroupOfficialWeibo, are you looking at my eyes?]

The official Weibo account of Shengyao Group was flooded with private messages. In fact, many paparazzi and reporters went to the Shengyao Group building to wait for Gu Ye because they couldn't find the retired Gu Zhuoyan.

"Hahaha……"

At this moment, at the Gu family manor, the family banquet is about to begin.

Gu Zhao nestled lazily on the sofa with his wife in his arms, watching the paparazzi's live stream video of his older brother being cornered and forcibly interviewed with a dark expression on his face, and laughed with schadenfreude.

Ke Qi couldn't laugh; instead, she asked worriedly, "Won't our older brother kick us out?"

And are those netizens crazy? What's the difference between them tagging Shengyao Group's official Weibo account like this and directly confronting Gu Ye?

"How is that possible!"

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Things are different now. Your husband has already established himself. If you get rid of me, he'll suffer a huge loss."

"Moreover~"

He gently touched her belly. "Don't let his sullen face fool you. He's probably overjoyed inside. After all, he's probably going to remain single and childless for the rest of his life, so he has his own heir now."

"baby."

He gently flicked the tip of her nose. "You were the MVP of this surprise plan, you were fantastic!"

Upon hearing this, Ke Qi felt no joy whatsoever, and was even somewhat puzzled.

"But my older brother has never liked me and has always wanted to kick me out. Why are you so sure that our baby will be his future heir?"

"I hate you?"

Gu Zhao asked, puzzled, "When was that?"

"He may act arrogant and domineering, but he is actually very doting and protective of his family members."

He chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Actually, he's already accepted you in his heart. He just wants to pamper you like a little sister but can't bring himself to do it. How could he possibly dislike you?"

"You accept me?"

Ke Qi asked in surprise, "When did this happen?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhao casually stroked the bluish veins on her forearm with his large hand, "Guess~"
