Chapter 532 Pregnancy
At noon, Gu Zijing and Pei Yi returned from their outing.
Ling Ran was looking at her tablet when she saw the two people sitting opposite her. She raised her eyes slightly and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Something's up," Pei Yi said.
“We just ran into Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian when we went out,” Gu Zijing said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people who were busy with their own things gathered over there.
Pei Xiu shouted the loudest: "What? Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian? I remember they were married, right?"
If they get married, then Zhou Chong is definitely no longer the male lead.
However, this man's protagonist attributes are really high. We're so far away from Shanxi Province, yet we still managed to run into him. It's cursed!
Su Yimo then asked, "Why would they come to the Northern Province? Are they here to see the adults?"
She doesn't like Xia Qianqian, and she doesn't like Zhou Chong either. She doesn't like either of the couple. How did they end up meeting again?
How annoying!
The others also chimed in with questions about Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian's situation.
Gu Zijing interrupted, "Can't you shut up for a second? Let us have what we have to say?"
Pei Yi waved his hand, signaling for Gu Zijing to speak.
The others immediately said, "Tell us quickly!"
Gu Zijing sighed helplessly, and then said, "He came here to do business with the Beijing base on evolution fluid, but he came to the provincial capital base first."
Zhou Hang couldn't believe it: "That's it?"
Gu Zijing shrugged: "That's it."
Pei Xiu laughed loudly: "This is hilarious! They specially invited Zhou Chong to do business with the evolution fluid, and my sister was right under their nose and they didn't even know. The information in this provincial capital base is too backward."
"Yes, it's been quite a long time since we came from the western province. It seems that our guess was right. He doesn't care about news from the provincial capital base, except for the Beijing base."
"The adult's impurity-free crystal cores are not only cheaper but also more convenient to carry than evolution fluid. I really don't know what he was thinking."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zijing added, "He should already know about the master from Zhou Chong. He will come to visit no later than this afternoon. Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian should come together as well."
Pei Xiu immediately moved closer to Ling Ran: "Sister, let's not do business with him."
Before Ling Ran could answer, he added, "At least we can't agree so easily."
Pei Xiu is actually quite kind.
He knew that the purity of the crystal nuclei was a matter of life and death for many people, and his little quirk was nothing to worry about.
Su Yimo strongly agreed, saying, "I think Pei Xiu is right. We can't agree so easily, or he'll think we adults have no temper."
"That's right, that's right."
"And I think this Zhen Fan is really annoying. It's best not to give him any rewards when the adults leave."
"That's right, just like Dong Yuanjiu from the Phoenix Base, he has nothing."
Dong Yuanjiu: I received another reward from the master later, okay? Stop bringing me up to put others down!
A group of people seemed to have suffered a great injustice, all saying that they would give Zhen Zhifan a nice look when he came over.
Ling Ran: "..."
No, how did Zhen Zhifan offend you?
Ling Ran didn't care about these things. Since he didn't provide any emotional value, and her resources weren't something that fell from the sky, she naturally wanted to give them to people she liked.
This is a two-way selection process.
If the other person didn't choose her, then she shouldn't choose them either.
There's no need to talk about forgiveness or not.
She's not a real queen.
Even if she were a real queen, Zhen Zhifan would not be her subject and would have no obligation to serve her.
As they were talking, Gu Zijing suddenly said, "Someone is coming this way."
The group immediately shut up.
Maybe it was Zhen Zhifan and his group who came to invite the adults to lunch.
After waiting for a few minutes, it was indeed Zhen Zhifan and his group.
Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian spotted Ling Ran sitting on the sofa at a glance: "My lord!"
The two looked excited and immediately ran towards Ling Ran.
Ling Ran glanced at them.
After nearly a year apart, the two of them had undergone a significant change in demeanor.
For example, Zhou Chong used to be inherently arrogant, but now he seems much more humble. And Xia Qianqian used to be a wary, insecure, and extremely guarded person, but now she also seems much gentler.
"Be careful now that you're pregnant, don't run around."
Xia Qianqian immediately said shyly, "Did you notice, sir?" She touched her belly and said, "I'm already three months along."
In the end times, children are new life and hope.
If no one has children, humanity will eventually perish.
Therefore, each base has certain welfare policies regarding childbirth. If a child is born with special abilities, they will receive even more intensive training from the base.
Because of this policy, those who can afford it will have children, and even those who can't will try their luck to see if they can give birth to a child with special abilities.
However, if both parents are ordinary people, the chances of having a child with special abilities are relatively low.
Everyone else stared in disbelief at Xia Qianqian's stomach: "She's... pregnant?"
Su Yimo looked at Xia Qianqian, but what she really wanted to ask was how Xia Qianqian's fish were doing.
Now she's become a "scumbag woman" herself, though not in Xia Qianqian's style, but she still admires Xia Qianqian quite a bit in this respect.
Is it just a case of mutual appreciation between two scumbag women?
Xia Qianqian nodded: "Although it was an accident, I will definitely welcome him since he is here."
"It's good, but the conditions of the apocalypse will probably make it tough."
"It's alright. Hopefully, the base has already set up the medical equipment and everything will be fine." As for supplies, she has plenty herself.
She didn't have many of those baby-specific items.
After all, since her rebirth, she hadn't thought about getting married and having children, and she had mostly stockpiled other things.
"These are for your child."
Ling Ran waved her hand, and a corner of the living room was immediately filled with baby stuff: formula, bottles, diapers, toys, strollers, and all sorts of medicines that the child might need when he was sick.
These are all things that Xia Qianqian doesn't have.
"this……"
Xia Qianqian looked at these things and was momentarily at a loss: "My lord, I didn't come here for this."
"Yes, I know. I'll give it to you. You'll be an extraordinary child in the future."
The child born to the male and female protagonists will inevitably be a genius, both in terms of intelligence and talent.
Xia Qianqian and Zhou Chong quickly said, "Thank you, sir!"
Gu Zijing said from the side, "Take it."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qianqian stored the supplies into her personal space.
Once she let go of her prejudices, she realized how good and lovable the adult was.
After the adults left, Xia Qianqian regretted for a long time that she hadn't gotten along well with them. Otherwise, perhaps she would have taken a different path in life.
However, this road isn't bad now either.
