Chapter 179 "Surprise"
The days back at the Governor's Mansion were peaceful and warm.
Nangong Ye continued to handle some important official business, but he was obviously much more relaxed than before, and often had a smug smile on his face.
Dongfang Yuning was busy reorganizing the Chamber of Commerce affairs that had been piled up due to her departure. With the good foundation laid by Shen Xiaoyun, it was much easier for her to take over.
Everything seems to be back on track, even better than before.
Nangong Ye looked at his young wife who was carefully looking at the account book in the study. Her profile looked particularly soft and peaceful in the sunlight, and his heart was filled with peace.
His plan can be put on the agenda now. Where should he take the baby to play next time?
Jiangnan?
Or even further to the West?
However, this tranquility was unexpectedly broken on a beautiful night a month later.
That night, red candles flickered and gauze curtains hung lightly.
Nangong Ye was hugging his beloved little wife and having an in-depth conversation that he loved most every day.
His Ning'er was still as passionate as ever, like an insatiable little fox, clinging tightly to him and responding to his every possession.
When the passion reaches its peak, both of them are immersed in extreme joy.
Sudden!
The person under him let out a short, painful groan!
Then, her arms that were clinging to his back suddenly loosened, and she seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. She collapsed limply, her eyes closed, and her face looked extremely pale in the candlelight!
"Ning'er?!"
All of Nangong Ye's passion froze in an instant!
The huge fear was like ice water poured over his head, making his blood run cold!
He immediately stopped all movements and hugged her limp body in panic.
"Baby! Ning'er! What's wrong with you? Don't scare your husband!"
His voice was trembling as he gently patted her cheek, which was icy cold to the touch!
The person who was so passionate just now is now like a flower that suddenly withers, silently and without a sound!
Huge panic and self-blame instantly gripped Nangong Ye's heart!
Is he...going too far?
Hurt her?
He thought about her petite and delicate body…
An overwhelming fear and shadow instantly enveloped him!
"Someone! Call the doctor! Quick!"
Nangong Ye roared towards the door, his voice filled with unprecedented panic and fear!
He didn't even have time to put on his own clothes. He just grabbed an outer robe and put it on. With the fastest speed and the most gentle movements, he tidied up Dongfang Yuning's messy pajamas, and then wrapped her tightly with a brocade quilt.
He hugged her tightly, feeling her weak breathing and cold body. His heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
His hands trembled uncontrollably, and he whispered in her ear again and again:
"Baby, wake up! Look at your husband! Don't sleep! Please..."
[System 118: Damn it! Damn it! Host! Host, wake up! Don’t scare me! The prince is going crazy!]
My CPU is overheating! What's going on? Low blood sugar? Overindulgence? This is wrong! This system hasn't detected any abnormalities!
The electronic sound of 118 screamed wildly in Dongfang Yuning's silent mind, and garbled characters came out.
The Governor's Mansion was suddenly brightly lit and in chaos!
The most prestigious old doctor in Yanmao Port was pulled out of his bed and almost crawled into the bedroom by the secret guards.
He knelt trembling beside the bed, looking at Prince Yong's almost cannibalistic, red and fearful eyes, and the pale, unconscious princess in his arms, his beard shaking with fear.
"Quick! Show the princess! What happened to her?!"
Nangong Ye's voice sounded like it came from hell, icy cold and filled with murderous intent.
He stared at the old doctor intently, feeling that if he said anything bad, he would immediately grind him to dust!
The old doctor didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately held his breath, stretched out three fingers, and tremblingly placed them on Dongfang Yuning's slender wrist.
You could hear a pin drop in the bedroom, with only the crackling of the candlelight and Nangong Ye's heavy and rapid breathing.
Time is infinitely stretched, and every second is torture.
The old doctor's brows were furrowed at first, as if he was trying to figure out something.
Gradually, his expression became strange, puzzled, then disbelief, and finally... ecstasy?!
He suddenly withdrew his hand and bowed to Nangong Ye. His voice was trembling with excitement, but full of joy:
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! Princess, this is... this is a pregnancy pulse!"
“…”
All of Nangong Ye's expressions, all of his movements, all of his thoughts, were completely frozen the moment he heard the word "happy pulse"!
It was as if he was struck on the top of his head by a nine-day mystical thunder with incredible precision!
The whole person froze in place, as if he had turned into a lifeless stone sculpture!
Only those deep eyes, whose pupils suddenly contracted to the extreme, were filled with shock, confusion, absurdity like a raging storm... and a trace of extremely faint fear that even he himself did not notice?
He remained holding Ning'er, motionless. His mind was blank, as if he had lost the ability to understand language.
Happy pulse?
Pregnant?
His...baby?
Ning'er...is pregnant?!
How is this possible? !
Ning'er clearly...clearly could eat that thing without harming her body and she could have the baby!
It's not provided by some system that is absolutely error-free...
"You...what did you say?"
Nangong Ye's voice was as dry as sandpaper, with an extremely uncertain and vague feeling like an auditory hallucination.
The old doctor thought the prince was overly surprised, so he kowtowed again and repeated loudly, every word clearly:
"Reporting to Your Highness! It's absolutely true! The princess is pregnant! Her pulse is smooth and flowing, like beads rolling on a plate, and it has been going on for at least a month!
The princess fainted, probably because it was her first pregnancy, and her qi and blood were unable to adapt for a while, plus... cough cough, it was caused by excessive excitement. It's not serious, she will wake up soon!
Just rest and take good care of the baby! Congratulations, Your Highness! God bless Dayan!"
Over a month? On the grassland?!
Boom——!!!
Nangong Ye only felt that the string of reason in his mind was completely broken!
All the images came flooding back like a tide!
Her abnormal and extreme enthusiasm on the grassland!
That alluring look! That deliberate teasing and provocation!
Every time it seemed like it was draining all his energy!
She transformed into a little vixen, pestering him, tempting him, provoking him...
And that night in the yurt, her proactive kiss and her passionate response...
Everything now has an answer!
It turns out...it turns out that wasn't the passionate release she felt after coming out of the haze!
That was... that was premeditated!
It was planned for a long time!
It was deliberate!!!
What birth control pill?! She took the antidote!!!!
Nangong Ye suddenly lowered his head and looked at his little wife in his arms, who was still unconscious but whose face seemed to have regained a hint of redness.
The expression in his eyes was extremely complicated! Shock, anger, fear, disbelief...
In the end, all emotions turned into overwhelming rage and an absurd feeling of being completely deceived and played around with!
"Dong, Fang, Yu, Ning!"
He practically squeezed out these four words from between his teeth, and each word was tinged with ice!
The arm that was holding her tightened instantly, wanting to strangle this audacious little liar who had dared to plot against him and his offspring into his bones!
God knows, when he saw his niece Nangong Yue giving birth and the girl bringing out basins of blood, he gave up the idea of having his Ning'er give birth to her child!
He carefully protected her, unwilling to let her endure the pain of pregnancy at such a young age, unwilling to take even a bit of his attention away from her, and treated her as his only baby, pampering and loving her!
What's the result?
As a result, this little vixen!
She actually!
How dare she!
"Good! Very good! You are really...very good!"
Nangong Ye was so angry that his whole body was shaking. Looking at the unconscious little woman in his arms, he almost wanted to wake her up and give her a good spanking!
【!!!!!! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! It's overturned! Host, wake up! The sky is falling! There's a tsunami! There's a volcano erupting!
The prince caught you secretly unlocking the 'Mom' achievement! His face was as dark as ink! Help! His eyes are so scary! Is he trying to eat you alive?!
Host, wake up! Stop pretending to be dead! No! Pretending to faint is useless! It's over! Barbie Q! This system is going invisible! Host, you're on your own! [Unrelated sentence fragment:]
118's electronic sound screamed at an unprecedented high-frequency sound, then decisively cut off the connection and entered the "play dead" mode.
There was deathly silence in the bedroom.
Only the old doctor was lying on the ground, sweating profusely, completely confused as to why, after announcing the good news, the prince's expression had become so... horrible?
Isn’t this a great joy?
Nangong Ye held his little wife in his arms, who had given him a huge "surprise", and felt the little life quietly growing in her belly, which was connected to their blood. His heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Angry? Yes! Angry at being deceived!
Are you scared? Yes! What if I hurt her and the child...
Confused? Yes! He's not ready to be a father yet!
His baby is still a baby!
But... in the deepest part of that chaotic emotion, there was an extremely secret trace of ecstasy and anticipation that even he himself was unwilling to admit... like a young sprout that stubbornly emerged from a crack in the rock, it was growing wildly.
His Ning'er... was pregnant with his child.
His and her children.
This realization, like the strongest liquor, instantly washed away all his anger and resentment, leaving only a huge, indescribable shock and... a strange, tender feeling of being a father.
He looked at Dongfang Yuning's pale but still beautiful little face, and finally, all his emotions turned into a long sigh with endless complex meanings.
The strength of his arms involuntarily became gentler, carefully protecting her still flat belly.
The surprise (shock) has already happened, and now it’s time for him to settle the score with this daring little vixen!
Wait until she wakes up... Nangong Ye gritted his teeth, his eyes deep.
