After Wang Boyang and Li Peiyu finished discussing work, it was lunchtime.

Upon entering the restaurant, the table was already laden with food. On the ground were tender veal steaks and braised lamb; in the water were steamed turbot and braised prawns; and in the air was coconut pigeon soup, its milky white color emitting a faint aroma of coconut and the delicious flavor of pigeon meat.

The entire dining table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes, emphasizing a well-rounded nutritional profile with a perfect balance of meat and vegetables.

The four people sat facing each other at the dining table.

Li Peiyu sighed softly and said, "This is my pregnancy-preserving meal. It's low in salt and oil, so it's bland and not very tasty. Don't force yourself to eat it; just consider it a health-preserving meal."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuzhi frowned slightly, but his eyes held a hint of doting affection as he said, "What's wrong with it? You never forget your cravings, no matter what." As he spoke, he picked up a soup spoon and carefully ladled a few spoonfuls of coconut and pigeon soup for Li Peiyu.

Li Peiyu pursed her lips, looked at the bowl of soup, and said, "Such a bland dish, only you can eat it."

Lu Yuzhi also couldn't eat; the pregnancy-preserving meal was indeed not flavorful enough, but he had to set a good example for Li Peiyu. If he didn't enjoy his meal, given Li Peiyu's mischievous and willful nature, she certainly wouldn't listen obediently.

“Let’s just add a tiny bit of salt. For Gu Yan and Wang Boyang’s sake, they’re not pregnant, so there’s no reason for them to suffer like this.” Li Peiyu said, gently pinching her thumb and forefinger together, emphasizing exactly how much “tiny bit” was, looking quite adorable.

"Alright." Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally relented. He then gestured slightly to the servant that he could sprinkle some salt.

Li Peiyu immediately teased, "Sigh, I only get to eat a normal meal during holidays and when guests come. Lu Yuzhi, you're torturing me."

Lu Yuzhi gently coaxed her, "Be good, just bear with it for another eight months."

"Hmph. Bastard." Li Peiyu grumbled, but he had already picked up the bowl and started drinking the soup. After taking a sip, his eyes lit up and he said, "It tastes much better with salt."

"Eat shrimp." Lu Yuzhi picked up a shrimp from the plate, peeled it carefully, and gently placed it on Li Peiyu's plate.

Wang Boyang was also peeling shrimp. His hands were very nimble, and he removed the shrimp shells in a few quick movements, revealing the shrimp meat intact. He subconsciously wanted to put it on Gu Yan's plate, but suddenly, as if realizing something, he stopped abruptly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. Then, he silently put the shrimp meat in his own bowl.

His relationship with Gu Yan was something that couldn't be made public.

Gu Yan watched Wang Boyang's every move. Seeing him like this, a mischievous smile crept onto his lips. He said, "Peel the shrimp for me."

"Don't you have hands?" Wang Boyang deliberately bantered with him to cover up his inner turmoil.

"It's too oily, I don't want to get my hands dirty," Gu Yan said, raising an eyebrow nonchalantly.

"Then don't eat it," Wang Boyang said, feigning anger.

Gu Yan grinned and, taking advantage of Wang Boyang's inattention, quickly picked up a shrimp from his plate and put it in his mouth, his cheeks puffed out, looking like he was saying, "What can you do about it?"

Wang Boyang couldn't help but glare at Gu Yan, but the sweet feeling in his heart was almost overflowing.

After lunch, it was time for Li Peiyu to take a nap.

Li Peiyu was at a loss. "I don't want to sleep. I'm turning into a pig from sleeping all the time."

"You should get some sleep, so that the baby's sleep schedule will become more regular after it's born," Lu Yuzhi coaxed patiently, gently persuading him.

Li Peiyu pouted, "You'll sleep with me."

"Of course I'll go with you." Lu Yuzhi helped Li Peiyu into the elevator and upstairs.

"Having an elevator is quite convenient."

Lu Yuzhi smiled gently. When he installed the elevator, he thought of two things: first, Li Peiyu's sprained ankle would be inconvenient, and second, he considered that she might need it if she got pregnant someday.

Once inside, Lu Yuzhi settled Li Peiyu down to sleep. Li Peiyu nestled in Lu Yuzhi's arms, sighing, "Why is it always women who get pregnant?"

"Not necessarily."

"ah?"

"I recently invested in a project: a male artificial womb."

What is that?

"It involves implanting an artificial uterus in men."

"What?!"

"Yunnan University's biological laboratory has successfully transformed male cells into eggs."

"Really?"

"It's true. It's the project that invested 1.8 billion a few years ago."

Does that mean homosexuals can get pregnant?

"Yes, they can have their own children."

“This world is going to turn upside down eventually.” Li Peiyu’s face was still filled with shock. “Why would you invest in this kind of project? It’s not something you would do.”

Lu Yuzhi hugged Li Peiyu tightly, "It's for Gu Yan."

"What's the meaning?"
