Xiao Han exchanged crazy glances with Li Kui, Jin Dongdong and A'mo with a "seen a ghost" expression.
"Tell Su Wan to rest and take care of her baby at the base. She doesn't need to worry about what's happening outside."
"When the time comes, I will pick her up."
Hongdou blinked her ruby eyes as if she understood, and rubbed Lu Shiyan with her little head, as if to confirm that she remembered it.
Then, its small body leaped off Lu Shiyan's shoulder, turned into a white shadow, and "whoosh" into the ventilation duct through which it came, disappearing.
The whole process takes only one minute.
Xiao Han got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his butt, and smacked his lips: "Master Lu, Hongdou is here to challenge you!"
Li Kui's honest face was full of confusion. His thick eyebrows were furrowed and he scratched the back of his head: "Declaration of war? Why is it a declaration of war? Why don't I understand?"
"You are such a blockhead!" Xiao Han glared at Li Kui in dismay, then turned to Lu Shiyan with even more excitement in his eyes, "If this isn't a declaration of war, what is it? Su Wan has even sent a messenger to ask - 'My man, when will you come to marry me on a colorful cloud?'"
Xiao Han imitated the woman's accent, stretching out his voice and deliberately pinching his throat. He looked extremely funny.
"Young Master Lu replied, 'Wait, I'm building an aircraft carrier fleet, and when the time comes, it will come directly to your doorstep!'" Xiao Han put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest, and imitated Lu Shiyan's usual posture.
Amer: "......"
Jin Dongdong: “…”
"Get out." A trace of coldness quietly melted away from Lu Shiyan's bottomless eyes, revealing a gentle smile that he himself did not even notice.
Xiao Han keenly caught this detail and secretly rejoiced in his heart. "Okay, I'll get out of here now!"
…
When Hongdou returned to Su Wan with Lu Shiyan's reply, Su Wan's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
He said that when the time comes, he will come to pick her up.
That's enough.
Su Wan gently stroked Hongdou's soft hair, and a faint smile rose unconsciously at the corner of her mouth. She knew Lu Shiyan's character too well - this man would never say something he couldn't do, and would never make a promise easily. Since Lu Shiyan made such a promise, it meant that Su Wan only needed to wait patiently.
In the following days, Su Wan completely entered the "bad" mode.
Since I can't get out for the time being, and resistance will only make my father's supervision tighter, it's better to just listen to Lu Shiyan and take care of the baby with peace of mind.
Su Zhengyan and Yan Shaoyou would accompany her for dinner almost every day without fail.
Su Wan no longer responded with harsh words like before. She just ate quietly, and occasionally when they asked her questions, she would reply with a few words.
Today's dinner was particularly sumptuous. The long dining table was filled with a variety of dishes, a combination of Chinese and Western cuisines, with everything from the air to the ground and from the water.
However, Su Zhengyan and Yan Shaoyou had no appetite.
The two grown men just stared at the petite figure opposite them in shock.
Su Wan was seen holding a crispy and juicy roasted chicken leg in his left hand, a pair of chopsticks in his right hand, and a third bowl of rice piled high in front of him.
Her movements were graceful, but her speed was not slow at all. After she finished chewing the chicken leg, she picked up a large piece of Dongpo pork that was stewed till soft and tender, and ate it with rice, with a satisfied expression on her face.
There were already two empty bowls and a small pile of cleanly gnawed bones piled up on the table.
The pot of boiled beef that was steaming hot and fragrant when it was first served on the table now only has soup left.
Yan Shaoyou pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He remembered that Wanwan used to eat as little as a cat, and would be full after just two bites.
Su Zhengyan's brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with unconcealable worry and...shock.
"My dear..." Su Zhengyan finally couldn't help but speak, "Are you... feeling unwell? Why... do you eat so much?"
Su Wan swallowed the food in her mouth and took a sip of soup before she raised her head and blinked innocently.
"I'm having dinner for two, do you understand?"
Su Zhengyan: “…”
Yan Shaoyou: “…”
"Besides, the baby will do great things in the future. How can he gain strength if he doesn't eat more? What if he becomes like his father and tears down the gate of other people's base when he disagrees with them? How can he survive without strength?"
"Puff——" Yan Shaoyou almost spit out the water he had just drunk. He quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses complicated.
Su Zhengyan's face turned black. The last thing he wanted to hear was that bastard Lu Shiyan's name, but his daughter kept talking about him and was proud of him.
He was so angry that he wanted to slam the table, but when he saw Su Wan's round belly, he forced himself to suppress his anger.
"Okay, okay, eat, eat more!" Su Zhengyan said, almost gritting his teeth, "It would be best if you gave birth to a big fat boy who would eat his father's share as well!"
Su Wan ignored him and continued to work hard.
The two men looked at her bright little face, then at the mess on the table, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
After eating and drinking well and letting go of his worries, Su Wan's weight began to increase at a rate visible to the naked eye.
A month passed quickly. Her originally thin cheeks became much rounder, and her skin became whiter and more rosy and smoother with the nourishment of various high-end nutritional products.
The most obvious change is her belly, which is now as big as half a watermelon. Even through her loose home clothes, you can see the obvious curve.
In the eyes of Su Zhengyan and Yan Shaoyou, Su Wan's transformation meant that time had finally smoothed out all her edges and corners, and she had completely accepted the reality.
Su Zhengyan was very satisfied with his daughter's "awakening", and he relaxed his supervision of Su Wan accordingly, at least no longer monitoring her so closely that there was no leak at all.
Yan Shaoyou was even more attentive and caring every day, asking about her health, and the room was filled with supplements and medicated foods for pregnancy maintenance.
They all thought she had given in.
She began to check the supplies in the space. The strange little tree that Hongdou had planted last time had grown a lot taller. The trunk was a warm jade-white color, with lush branches and leaves, exuding vitality in the space.
"Huh?"
Su Wan noticed with her sharp eyes that on the topmost, most luxuriant branch, a juicy green fruit was quietly hanging there. It was about the size of a quail egg, with a smooth surface like a mirror, and exuding a faint fragrance.
"Red beans!" Su Wan excitedly took the little one out of her arms, still dozing off. "Look, it's borne fruit again!"
Hongdou was awakened by the sudden scream. She blinked her ruby eyes dazedly and looked in the direction of Su Wan's finger.
"Wow! Really!" Hongdou jumped excitedly in Su Wan's palm. Her little paw pointed at the fruit and her voice was full of surprise. "Another Life Fruit is ripe!"
Su Wan frowned slightly and muttered in confusion: "But this fruit grows so slowly... Last time I remember it seemed to ripen instantly, why did it take so long this time?"
What impressed her even more was Jin Dongdong's funny look, with his teeth grimacing and tears streaming down his face, because of the bitter taste of the fruit.
Thinking of this, Su Wan couldn't help but chuckle. Although the taste of the fruit could be described as a "biochemical weapon", its therapeutic effect was magical and immediate.
"Master, this is already very fast!" Hongdou rolled comfortably in her palm and defended her "work" in a baby voice, "This is the fruit of the Tree of Life. Each one contains the purest life energy!"
There was a hint of pride in the little guy's voice, as if he was showing off some amazing treasure he had grown.
"Under normal circumstances, it takes a whole year for the Tree of Life to bear one fruit!" Hongdou continued to explain, gesturing in the air with her little paws.
"This speed is already super super fast! If we can get more energy from the wood crystal core, it will be even faster!"
Hongdou paused and calculated carefully: "At this rate, it will be fully grown and mature in about three months."
One fruit every three months?
Not bad.
After all, this is a magical fruit that can heal serious injuries instantly. Even in the end times when medical resources are extremely scarce, it is definitely a priceless treasure.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Su Wan lay on the soft big bed with her eyes closed and her breathing steady, seeming to have fallen into a deep sleep.
"Master, Master! Something's happening!" Hongdou's milky and anxious voice rang in her mind on time.
