Interstellar Programmer 22
After Bruno was captured by Maiwei with one hand and one foot cut off, the remaining soldiers immediately panicked and prepared to withdraw first and then negotiate.
However, the Southern Alliance Empire had already given them a chance to negotiate, in accordance with the Interstellar Treaty. Whether they would continue to negotiate depended entirely on their willingness. It was obvious that the Southern Alliance Empire would not negotiate with them. They would, of course, press on and continue the attack until they were no longer able to fight back.
The ships sent by several other military regions have also arrived. The ships from five military regions attacked at the same time. The scene was quite shocking.
The Southern Alliance Empire acted as if it was going to destroy the Nandi Kingdom, which not only made the military officials of the Nandi Kingdom very panicked, but also the people. However, the Southern Alliance Empire soon released a message to the people of Nandi that their goal was to take over the Nandi Kingdom, so they would only target the military and officials of Nandi Kingdom and would not intentionally cause harm to the people.
A long article was also sent to the people of Nandi, informing them that after Nandi was taken over, policies would be implemented that would benefit the people and be carried out under public supervision. After reading this, most of the people of Nandi were moved. The strength of the Southern Alliance Empire was obvious to all, and its people, in many ways, indeed lived better than those in other countries. Furthermore, those eliminated were the nobles they had always disliked, as well as those officials who only cared about enriching themselves and doing nothing. For them, the elimination of these officials was a cause for joy.
The nobles and officials were completely panicked and unsure how to respond. With the Southern Alliance Empire's continued attacks and advances, and the people within demanding their surrender, the people felt this was a war doomed to fail. Why risk the lives of soldiers to protect officials and nobles who were usually only concerned with preserving their own power and interests?
The Southern Alliance Empire used examples one by one to convince the people of Nandi, making them feel that it made perfect sense. Who wouldn't want a better life? Since being incorporated into the Southern Alliance Empire would only benefit ordinary people like them, the sooner the better.
Tao Yuan took advantage of his free time to visit Bruno who was imprisoned. Mai Wei deliberately wanted to torture him, so when he asked the military doctor to treat him, he only asked him to ensure that he would not die, and there was no need to help him relieve the pain.
Tao Yuan sat down on a chair next to the bed and looked at Bruno who was tied to the bed. His face looked very ugly and his spirit was originally very distracted. However, after seeing Tao Yuan coming in, even though he was weak all over, he still stared at Tao Yuan.
"Do you hate me?" Tao Yuan said with a smile, "That's right, I want you to hate me. The more you hate me, the happier I will feel. Because only in this way can you understand the hatred I had for you in the past."
"Aren't you worried that my people will attack Jia Si Ning?" Bruno asked weakly.
"I'm absolutely certain that Jia Si Ning is dead, so from the very beginning, I was just trying to lure you in, pretending to be nervous and deceiving you."
"You, why, are you sure?" Bruno was so angry that he looked like he was going to choke at any moment.
"Because I implanted a tiny thing under Jia Si Ning's skin, I would know immediately if he lost any signs of life. To tell you the truth, after learning that Jia Si Ning was dead, I thought about committing suicide, but I didn't die. You should know why I didn't die, right?"
"You, deliberately, lied to me!" Bruno's eyes were bloodshot, and the anger in his heart was burning, making him extremely uncomfortable. The pain in his body and the discomfort in his heart made him want to die immediately, but he was unwilling to die like this.
"That's right, I deliberately lied to you, wanting you to end up like this, wanting you to feel what it's like to live a life worse than death, yet unable to die." The smile on Tao Yuan's face slowly faded, and he looked at him coldly, saying, "I have good news to tell you. Everything you're going through now isn't the end of my revenge, but the beginning. From now on, you'll continue to live a life worse than death, yet unable to die, until the hatred I have for you fades. This is the punishment you deserve for the evil you've done."
Bruno rolled his eyes and fainted from anger. Tao Yuan sneered, then walked out and asked the military doctor to come in and wake him up.
…………………………………………
Three months later, Tao Yuan was almost four months pregnant, and his belly was gradually getting bigger and bigger. With the situation about to be settled, Tao Yuan was looking for an opportunity to let Mai Wei know that he was pregnant.
Tao Yuan lay on the bed with his eyes open in a daze. He was thinking about how to tell Mai Wei about his pregnancy.
After taking a shower, Mai Wei came out of the bathroom without wearing anything. He lifted the quilt and lay down, then reached out and held Tao Yuan in his arms.
"How long will it take before we can return to the main planet?" Tao Yuan planned to ask about the return time first, and then decide whether to tell him now.
"All we need to do now is arrest and put all those nobles and officials on trial, then send our troops and officials over, and we'll basically wrap things up. We don't need to do the finishing work. The ships from our three military districts will be back on the main planet in less than a month." Mai Wei paused and said, "Your parents, brother, and sister-in-law are now imprisoned. They've committed many crimes and will likely receive heavy sentences. They've strongly requested to see you. If you're willing to meet them, I can help you arrange it."
"...I don't want to see them yet. Just arrange for them according to your plan. Let them suffer a little more. When I have the chance in the future, I will go and see how miserable they are." Tao Yuan felt that if he were not pregnant now, he would like to go and see them. However, if Mai Wei knew he was pregnant, he would definitely not arrange for him to go. So he could only wait until he gave birth to the child before finding an opportunity to see those people.
Mai Wei looked at Tao Yuan and thought he was in a bad mood because he was thinking about his parents, so he hugged him harder to comfort him. When he touched the flesh on Tao Yuan's belly, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you gained more and more belly fat recently?"
"Will you dislike me if I get fat?" Tao Yuan asked.
"How could I possibly dislike you? I'll like you no matter what you look like." Mai Wei touched Tao Yuan's belly and said seriously while thinking, "I just find it strange. You haven't gained weight anywhere else, so why is it only your belly that's gained weight? Is it because you've been sitting for too long?"
"Do you want to know the real reason why my belly is getting fatter?" Tao Yuan asked tentatively.
"Could there be any other reason?" Mai Wei thought for a moment, then frowned seriously and asked, "Are you sick and hiding it from me?"
Tao Yuan put his hand on his belly and said, "I'm not sick, I just have another person in my belly."
Mai Wei was stunned for a while because of what he said, and then he reacted and said with wide eyes, "Are you pregnant?"
"Why are you so surprised? We haven't taken any contraceptive measures. Aren't you mentally prepared that I will get pregnant?" Tao Yuan looked at him and said.
Mai Wei immediately sat up, looked at Tao Yuan and said, "Actually, you knew you were pregnant a long time ago, and you kept it a secret from me. You only told me because your belly got bigger and you couldn't hide it anymore, right?"
Tao Yuan felt a little annoyed. He knew that with Mai Wei's intelligence, he would definitely guess it, but he didn't expect that he would figure it out so quickly, leaving him no time to deceive.
Tao Yuan's eyes rolled around, and he was obviously feeling guilty. Mai Wei sighed helplessly and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? When Bruno asked to see you last time, you said you had a stomachache. Wasn't that when you were already pregnant? You didn't want me to send you back, and you didn't want to affect my fighting mood, so you kept it a secret from me for so long, right?"
Without Tao Yuan having to explain anything, Mai Wei deduced everything he needed to know, because he not only had a good mind but also a very good memory. As long as he briefly recalled Tao Yuan's aberrant emotions at the time, he immediately had a sense of sudden enlightenment.
What else could Tao Yuan say at this moment? He could only say nothing, then look at him with innocent and aggrieved eyes, until he softened his heart and couldn't bear to continue.
Looking at Tao Yuan's eyes, Mai Wei felt helpless and could only lie down and hug him, then comfort him, "I'm not angry, I just think it's dangerous for you to do this, and you've only just told me you're pregnant now. Once the baby is born, everyone will know you're pregnant before marriage. If you had told me earlier, I could have registered the marriage earlier and we could have gotten by with less time. You should be at least four months pregnant now, and others will think you're deliberately hiding your pregnancy. I married you because you were pregnant."
"Next time I find out I'm pregnant, I'll tell you right away." Tao Yuan said, putting her face against his chest.
Mai Wei sighed. Tao Yuan was pregnant, and while he was certainly happy, he also felt a bit guilty. He knew they couldn't have a wedding before Tao Yuan gave birth. Weddings take time to prepare, and if they started now, Tao Yuan's belly would surely be big by the time the wedding took place.
"This child's mental strength is A1, so my idea is that in order to protect this child, we should not make his existence public until he is ten years old, and postpone the wedding for a few years. What do you think?" Tao Yuan discussed with him.
"Have you already had your child tested?" Mai Wei asked worriedly, "Who did you ask for the test?"
"I tested it myself. Since your mental power is A1, there's a high possibility that our child's mental power is A1. I didn't dare to ask a doctor for a checkup, so I got the equipment and tested the child myself."
"...Let me think about it carefully." Mai Wei began to think seriously.
A child with A1 mental power is unstable before they turn ten, and they are likely to be in danger from people with ulterior motives. Therefore, the best way is to keep the child's A1 mental power a secret from others before they turn ten.
Lian Maiwei's father was a marshal. He only made public the fact that he had a mental power of A1 after he was fifteen years old and had outstanding performance in the army.
Because Mai Wei's own mental strength is A1, there is a high possibility that his child's mental strength is A1. Even if their family has the ability to give the child the best protection, it is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Too much protection is not conducive to the child's growth. Therefore, Mai Wei is seriously considering the idea that Tao Yuan mentioned.
If they postponed the announcement of their child, they would have to postpone the wedding, and could only register their marriage but not make it public, effectively forming a secret marriage. While this was the best approach, Mai Wei felt it was too unfair to Tao Yuan, so he pondered for a long time before finally making a decision, something he could have decided directly.
