"No, no, how could I not be happy? I am very happy."
Seeing that she misunderstood, Xiao Chengyou hurriedly held her hand to explain, but that was all he said.
His mind was in a mess at the moment. He realized that when a person was extremely surprised, his reaction could be so slow and stupid.
He had so many things he wanted to say, but his lips were trembling and he couldn't say them.
Xu Lingyi seemed relieved. She smiled and said, "As long as I hear your Highness say this, I feel relieved."
"Don't be anxious, Your Highness." She slowed her voice and spoke softly.
Xiao Chengyou took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently. He looked at Xu Lingyi's face for a while, then at her belly, his eyes filled with emotions.
"You know what? When my father deposed me, I was surprised, but it wasn't like today. My heart was beating wildly and I couldn't breathe."
"Your Highness, are you okay now?" Xu Lingyi pretended to be nervous and asked quickly.
Xiao Chengyou shook his head blankly.
"What should we do? The doctor just left." Xu Lingyi held his hand tightly.
Xiao Chengyou shook his head again and explained: "I'm fine."
"I was just too surprised."
Xiao Chengyou held Xu Lingyi's wrist tightly, and Xu Lingyi could feel his hand trembling.
He was really excited.
"I never thought this day would come. When I was first poisoned, I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart, but after the miracle doctor gave his verdict, I completely gave up. Last year, when my second brother's wife gave birth, my father and I were both regretful that it was just a daughter."
"But I am the only one who is envious, even jealous."
Xiao Chengyou still remembers how he felt that day.
"I thought at the time that if I had a princess, I would hold her in my hands forever, never let her suffer the slightest injustice, and never despise her in the slightest."
It's a pity that he can't have children.
As desperate as he was then, he was as excited now.
"I never thought this day would come. Perhaps God couldn't bear to see me die without an heir, so he sent you to me. If we have the chance in the future, you and I will definitely go to the temple to thank the Buddha."
Xu Lingyi: “…”
It was her own plan, and had nothing to do with God or Buddha. If he really wanted to thank someone, he should thank her.
But Xu Lingyi couldn't say this.
It took Xiao Chengyou several days to truly accept the news of her pregnancy.
During this period, he behaved a lot of abnormally, which made Xu Lingyi feel both amused and helpless, but she had to suppress her smile and act seriously.
For example, when Xu Lingyi just woke up, she saw Xiao Chengyou standing beside her bed. He stood there like a mountain.
Xu Lingyi was indeed frightened. She covered her chest, but still spoke softly and gently, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
"I'm afraid yesterday was all a dream. The doctor said you were pregnant yesterday. Is that true?"
Xu Lingyi really wanted to tell him loudly in her heart, yes, you asked me this a thousand times yesterday.
But she still smiled and said gently and firmly: "Your Highness, don't worry, this is not a dream. I am really pregnant with your child."
When Xiao Chengyou heard her answer, he seemed to be relieved. He couldn't help but lean over and hug her tightly.
Xu Lingyi was stunned. Except for that night when he held her tightly in bed, making it impossible for her to escape, this was the only time.
He had never hugged her once, and the two of them had always maintained a certain distance. Now...
"I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that all of this was just my own imagination. You didn't even come to the Abolition Prince's Mansion to be with me. We didn't have any physical contact, and I don't have any children. I will never have any heirs in this life. I will be alone for the rest of my life."
The more he spoke, the tighter he hugged Xu Lingyi. "This nightmare was so real. I woke up in a cold sweat and couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality. So..."
So when he woke up, he ran to her room without even changing his clothes or putting on his shoes. Only when he saw her did he feel a little relieved.
He even wanted to wake her up and confirm with her, but in the end he couldn't help but sit at the head of her bed until dawn.
Xu Lingyi hugged him back. She would definitely not give up the opportunity to develop feelings at this moment, even though he hugged her too tightly and made her feel a little tight.
Perhaps he didn't realize it because he was tall and strong. Xu Lingyi knew it that day.
"Don't be afraid, Your Highness." She patted his back gently, her tone extremely gentle, "It's just a nightmare. Your Highness will not be alone. I am already pregnant with your child, and the child and I will accompany Your Highness in the future."
When Xiao Chengyou heard this, he let go of her, held her shoulders, and stared at her in a daze.
Xu Lingyi took the initiative, hooked her fair and delicate arms around Xiao Chengyou's neck, and kissed him shyly and proactively with a blushing face.
This kiss carried a tenderness and comfort that belonged only to her. At that moment, everything around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the warmth between them.
She quickly loosened her arms and prepared to turn her face to the side to increase the distance between them.
For some reason, Xiao Chengyou felt an impulse. He held the back of her head with his big hands and kissed her hard.
It was extremely gentle at first, but towards the end his kisses became more and more unbridled, his breathing heavy and his force extremely strong.
After it was over, Xu Lingyi trembled. She leaned on his broad chest and calmed her breathing.
"Why do you kiss me?" Xiao Chengyou's eyes fell on her face and he looked at her very seriously.
"I like His Highness." Xu Lingyi's ears turned red, but she still mustered up the courage to speak, "I don't want to make His Highness feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Chengyou stared at her intently, startled at first, then chuckled, "Would it be okay for me to move in with you today?"
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and said nothing.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
