Chapter 288
Bai Ruiwen rushed over, his face full of worry. "Xiao Xin, what happened? Quickly, get a doctor!"
Wen Xin's distress left Bo Xu completely bewildered. "Doctor? Where's the doctor?"
Bai Ruiwen: "...Your Majesty the Mermaid King, aren't you yourself? Let Fan Yi activate medical mode and diagnose Xiao Xin first."
"Yes, yes, that's how it should be!"
Bo Xu carried Wen Xin and flew quickly into the house, his voice filled with anxiety, "Fan Yi, where did you go?"
Fan Yi: "..." Master, I'm your AI, where else could I go? Calm down! Why are you acting like an idiot?
Madam may just have an upset stomach. Why are you making it sound like she has a terminal illness?
Even its AI couldn't help but feel anxious!
Bai Ruiwen also wanted to follow her into the house, but when he saw Lin Ran sitting on the ground with a pale face and looking flustered and helpless, he couldn't help but think of Wen Xin, whom he had abandoned.
He paused for a moment, then went forward to help her up.
Lin Ran seemed to have found her pillar of support, grabbing Bai Ruiwen's hand, tears streaming down her face, "Brother Bai, I... I don't know what happened?"
“I was very careful when I came here, trying not to give my dad and the others a chance to do anything to me. I even had Mr. Fan check me when I first got ashore…”
She had absolutely no intention of harming Her Majesty the Empress, how could she dare?
Bai Ruiwen frowned, deeply worried about Wen Xin's health, but seeing Lin Ran trembling all over, he still gently reassured her, "With His Majesty the Mermaid King here, Xiao Xin will be alright."
Lin Ran stared blankly at Bai Ruiwen with tear-filled eyes, "Brother Bai, do you believe me?"
Bai Ruiwen's heart tightened, and in a daze, he saw again the girl who was attacked by everyone and was lonely and helpless.
"You're not that kind of person."
He spoke in a hoarse voice, it was unclear whether he was speaking to Lin Ran or to Wen Xin from the past.
Tears streamed down Lin Ran's face. "Thank you, thank you, Brother Bai."
She prayed that Her Majesty the Queen would be safe and sound.
If His Highness were to be in danger, she would be willing to atone with her life. She also understood that her father and the others would not hesitate to push her out to bear the Emperor's wrath.
But she didn't complain; at least there were still people in this world who believed in her!
Bai Ruiwen looked at her and smiled bitterly to himself. If he had noticed her and cared for her in time back then, would he be the one holding her today?
He released Lin Ran's hand without leaving a trace. No matter how much he regretted or suffered, he could not treat this kind-hearted mermaid girl as a substitute.
In that case, he wouldn't even respect himself.
But how innocent is Lin Ran?
...
"What did you say?"
Suddenly, the Mermaid King's furious voice came from inside the house, startling Bai Ruiwen and Lin Ran, who rushed over in a panic.
As soon as they arrived at the bedroom door, they saw the aloof and noble mermaid king, pale-faced and sweating profusely, pacing around in circles.
Bo Xu regretted it as soon as he yelled. Oh, he wasn't yelling at Wen Xin, and of course, he wasn't regretting yelling at Fan Yi either.
The Great Injustice, Mortal One: Um...
Bo Xu regretted that he had spoken too loudly, and that he must have scared his precious wife.
He was extremely anxious, trying his best to lower his voice, speaking in a gentle, almost tender tone, repeatedly asking Wen Xin, who was leaning against the bed, "Baby, did I scare you?"
"I just lost control, it wasn't on purpose, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
"Is there anywhere else that's bothering you? You must tell me."
"Honey, do you want some water? Are you hungry?"
Wen Xin has stopped gagging, and apart from being a little pale, she is in good spirits.
She reached out and grabbed her mermaid husband, who was pacing anxiously.
Sigh, who's really afraid of who's suffering?
Bo Xu was so frightened that his entire fish tail almost exploded. He carefully dragged her soft hand, as if afraid that she would feel uncomfortable if she used any force.
Even archaeologists don't treat incredibly precious antiques and artifacts with such exaggerated enthusiasm.
Wen Xin's eyes filled with helplessness as she said softly, "Bo Xu, I'm fine, don't be so nervous."
Bo Xu: "Yes, I'm not nervous."
Wen Xin: "..."
If you're not nervous, don't tense your body like a bowstring!
Seeing that he was staring intently at her, not daring to move his eyes, Wen Xin felt even more helpless.
She hooked her fingertips around his palm and asked sweetly, "Bo Xu, aren't you happy?"
Bo Xu quickly replied, "No, I'm very happy."
Not only was Wen Xin speechless, but Bai Ruiwen and Lin Ran at the door also twitched at the corners of their mouths: How can you tell that you are happy from your expression?
It looks like a massive army is pressing in!
Oh, I misspoke. If the Mermaid Empire were to be besieged by a large army, the Mermaid King would definitely be the calmest one. He might even applaud the enemy and then backstab the Mermaid civilization to death... Yeah, that's how damn stupid he is!
Wen Xin gently placed her hand on her abdomen, her eyes sparkling with a bright and radiant smile. "Bo Xu, we're having a baby."
Bai Ruiwen's pupils constricted; his heart felt as if it had been ripped open, bleeding profusely, but...
So she's pregnant!
He was happy for her!
That's wonderful. Her unhappiness of the past twenty years has finally come to an end, and she now has a happy and complete family.
However, Bo Xu showed no joy whatsoever at the prospect of becoming a father.
As she spoke, his gaze reluctantly moved to her flat stomach, his expression serious and apprehensive.
Bo Xu was extremely anxious because he couldn't imagine how his precious wife, who was so fragile and delicate, could conceive a child.
How did you end up with a child?
The stronger the genes, the more terrifying their power, and the more difficult it should be for the partner to conceive.
Bo Xu had long ago made preparations to have no descendants in his life...
Before meeting her, he didn't care at all; after meeting her, he had expectations, but in the end, he still didn't want her.
She was too delicate, and childbirth was too difficult; he couldn't bear to see her suffer like that.
He originally thought it was fortunate that he couldn't get her pregnant.
Who would have thought?
Bo Xu has gone completely mad!
How exactly did my darling wife get pregnant?
Of course, he didn't doubt her at all!
If anyone should be suspicious, it should be himself. Has he mutated?
Moreover, according to the data Fan Yi provided, it's clear that she got pregnant right after their first time!
Bo Xu: "!!!"
Damn, he had no idea he was this awesome!
But anyone who wants this amazing feature can have it; he doesn't want it!
At this moment, Bo Xu felt worried, panicked, and helpless, and even wanted to kill himself.
He was being too presumptuous.
His physical condition makes it difficult for his wife to conceive, but it's not entirely impossible.
Unfortunately, he forgot about the possibility of something going wrong and failed to take proper precautions from the very beginning.
Bo Xu's eyelashes trembled slightly, filled with guilt towards his beloved wife.
