Yuan Heng's handsome face turned white, then red, then white again. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Pregnant! It was just a pregnancy! Oh my god! Hallelujah! God bless! Ah Lang is going to be a mother!"
Ning Lang felt slightly embarrassed and tried to push Sheng Xuan, but his tall and strong frame wouldn't budge.
With a hint of anger, she said in a low voice, "Get off me, you're making me uncomfortable!"
Sheng Xuan was terrified and hurriedly let go of her, feeling flustered.
Ning Lang glared at him, then glanced at Yuan Heng.
"What are you all doing here? This child is mine, and has nothing to do with anyone else. None of you are the child's father, so why are you all getting so worked up!"
Yuan Heng instantly shut his mouth from laughing, staring blankly at her stomach, then turned to stare blankly at Sheng Xuan.
"How many months pregnant are you? How did you hide it so well? Why didn't you tell me? My goodness! You're so thin, but your belly is round and pointed! Hehehehe!"
Good heavens! He doesn't even know what he's saying!
Ning Lang gently stroked her belly and smiled, "I wanted to give you a surprise."
Yuan Heng's mind was in complete chaos, and he didn't know how to react, so he just chuckled foolishly.
Sheng Xuan stood tall and straight with a calm and composed expression.
Ning Lang raised her chin slightly and said gently, "Since you're here, please come in and sit down. Senior Jiang is in the vegetable garden in the back. The vegetables I planted are finally ready to be harvested. I'll stir-fry a plate for you to try later."
Yuan Heng stammered, secretly glancing at Sheng Xuan, then at Ning Lang's back, before nervously following after her.
After standing there for a few seconds, Sheng Xuan stepped forward and chased after him.
The villa was small in size and simply and elegantly decorated. It wasn't new, but it was spotless. Small oil paintings hung on the stairs and walls, giving it an artistic feel.
Sheng Xuan glanced at it and guessed that it was all made by her.
She likes to paint simple landscapes, a hobby she's had since she was little.
After passing through a small hall and around a semi-open kitchen, you'll see a small wooden door leading to a lush, green landscape.
Behind us was a small white fence, and not far away was a meadow that stretched all the way to the hillside.
Inside the small fence were three vegetable gardens, filled with small, vibrant green vegetables that were pleasing to the eye.
In the corner of the vegetable garden, there was a rattan chair that looked quite old, but it was kept very clean.
As Ning Lang walked forward, she said gently, "It's Sheng Xuan and A Heng. You must have met before, right?"
Jiang Lirong, who was standing in the vegetable garden in a daze, suddenly turned his head, his handsome face turning red and white in turns, and then said: "...I guess so."
Yuan Heng snorted coldly, "Heh!"
Ning Lang pretended not to hear, bent down with her hand on her waist, scooped water from the old wooden bucket next to her, and poured it little by little onto the vegetables.
"This used to be a small garden, but unfortunately the owner is no longer here, and the flowers have all withered. I'm not much of a romantic, I don't know anything about gardening, and I wouldn't presume to be cultured, so I simply planted vegetables instead. Look, aren't they growing quite well?"
"Not bad, not bad!" Yuan Heng replied absentmindedly, his eyes glancing at her stomach.
Just as Ning Lang was about to continue, the spoon was snatched away!
Sheng Xuan didn't say anything. With one hand twisting the broken wooden bucket and the other holding a spoon, he steadily poured the vegetables.
Ning Lang didn't try to take it from him. Instead, she went around to the rattan chair in the corner and sat down, supporting her belly.
"I can't stand for long periods of time now; I have to sit down after standing for a while."
Jiang Lirong's eyes darted around, and he swallowed hard. "A-Lang, will you—will you continue to stay here?"
"Yes." Ning Lang smiled and gently stroked her pointed belly. "I'll go back to Rongcheng when the baby is almost born."
