Because of Ye Ning's pregnancy, the entire shelter is on high alert, fearing that something might happen to her.
The people in the shelter took special care of Ye Ning. Even Lei Siming, who was usually clueless about social etiquette, specially brought her freshly picked fruit to visit her.
Then, he proudly told her that this was the latest mutated variety, but Xiao Jingchen, with a dark expression, directly rejected it.
"These are all mutated fruits. What if Ye Ning mutates after eating them? Alright, alright, we appreciate the good intentions!" Xiao Jingchen said with a dark expression.
After Liu Yangyang finished dealing with things at the base, she quickly arrived at the shelter, while her husband remained at the base.
"I'm so sorry, Dr. Liu! I've caused you and your loved one to be separated!" Ye Ning said apologetically.
"It's alright. We're all from the Xiao family. Now that you're pregnant with our young master's child, it's only right that we take care of you. Besides, my husband and I are only separated temporarily, and we'll see each other again soon!" Liu Yangyang was a very cheerful woman.
In fact, Ye Ning felt that she was only in the first trimester of pregnancy, and apart from being sleepy, she did not have any other special pregnancy reactions. There was no need for a doctor to stay by her side all the time, but Xiao Jingchen was just not at ease.
And so, Liu Yangyang stayed in the shelter.
Xiao Jingchen also reduced the frequency of going out, wishing he could stay in the shelter at all times.
As the weather gets colder, the basic construction at the base is basically finished.
The base is basically completed, and the existing well-preserved buildings have been put to use. Not only have new clinics been built, but also a movie theater.
More survivors learned about what was happening at the base, and many flocked there wanting to join. However, Ye Ning didn't accept so many people; instead, she screened and selected suitable individuals to enter the base.
Although Ye Ning's pregnancy was not publicized, the news gradually spread over time.
Especially as the shelters and bases expanded rapidly, it was inevitable that spies from Li Churan's side and Xinyuan Group would infiltrate them.
Li Churan was the first to receive the news.
"What? You mean Ye Ning is pregnant?" Li Churan frowned. When he first heard the news, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck him in the middle of the night, making him almost jump in fright.
"Is the news definitely accurate?" He didn't want to believe it at all.
"According to the information from the informant over there, that should be the case!" Fang Yan had never seen Li Churan so out of control. In his memory, Li Churan, whether in her previous decisive and efficient CEO days or in her period of decline, had never lost her edge.
But at this moment, it was as if the tip of a precious sword had been cut off, and it lost its sharpness in an instant.
"She's pregnant! She's actually pregnant! She's carrying Xiao Jingchen's child!" Li Churan murmured to herself.
Even today, he still doesn't want to believe it, and he still secretly hopes that Ye Ning is just angry with him and is being stubborn with him.
He remained in the past, but Ye Ning had already left that time behind and was now sharing a new future.
He walked out, looking lost and dejected.
"President Li, where are you going? President Li!" Fang Yan kept calling out behind him.
Li Churan, however, seemed not to hear him and continued walking forward in a daze.
He walked around the base, and people coming and going greeted him, but he felt like an outsider, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.
There is no one he cares about here, nor anything he cares about.
At this moment, what others call worship or admiration is meaningless.
Li Churan walked and walked, and before she knew it, she had arrived at Canglan.
Canglan recently took several days off, and Li Churan has been too busy to ask Canglan about the specifics.
Even if he didn't ask, he knew that Canglan's leave was definitely for Luo Jiaqi.
He knocked on the door, and it opened shortly afterward.
Canglan was dressed in casual home clothes, yet his posture remained upright, as elegant as a pine tree.
He was clearly taken aback when he saw Li Churan.
"Mr. Li, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Li Churan is usually a workaholic who rarely cares about anything other than work. Why did she suddenly come to his residence today? Could it be that something big has happened?
"It's nothing, I just came to take a look! Why aren't you welcome?" Li Churan said somewhat coldly.
"How could that be? Mr. Li, please come in!" Canglan quickly stepped aside to let Li Churan in. Li Churan was his benefactor, and he couldn't possibly turn him away.
Li Churan entered the room. Canglan was a man of simple living, and the furnishings in the room were very simple, yet clean and spotless. His style was very similar to Canglan's.
"Mr. Li, what brings you here today?" Canglan quickly made tea for Li Churan.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired! I came out to relax!" Li Churan rubbed her temples.
Canglan had already noticed that Li Churan had something on her mind, but he was wise enough not to expose her.
"Mr. Li! Have a cup of tea!" Canglan handed the brewed white tea to Li Churan.
"By the way! What about Luo Jiaqi? How are things going between you and her lately?" Li Churan asked tentatively.
Canglan looked tenderly at the innermost room. "She just fell asleep! She's been so noisy and restless lately, and she's very weak! I have no choice but to take extra care of her!"
Looking at Canglan, who was somewhat thin but had a face full of happiness, Li Churan suddenly asked, "Are you happy now?"
“Of course!” Canglan answered without hesitation. “So many things have happened between us in the past, but now that she’s by my side, all of that is in the past! As long as we’re together now, that’s enough!”
"But she betrayed you and was pregnant with another man's child. Don't you really care at all?" Li Churan asked.
"None of that matters! As long as she stays by my side, I don't care about anything else. I used to hate her and resent her. I thought I had long since abandoned my love for her. It wasn't until she came back to me that I realized none of that mattered. What matters is that she is now firmly imprisoned by my side! The most important thing about love is tolerance. As for the rest, let bygones be bygones!"
Canglan's face was full of sweetness, "Even if it means going against the world, I will keep her by my side."
Looking at Canglan's blissful face, Li Churan suddenly made a decision in her heart, "That's right, love is about defying the world. No matter who she's with now, I will find a way to keep her by my side."
