Chapter 49 Baby, you heard it, Mommy won’t go home with Daddy for dinner
The servants looked at each other's noses and mouths, not daring to take another look.
He Cong acted as if no one was around and just held his wife in his arms and kissed her all the way to the master bedroom upstairs.
She didn't know if it was Shang Youqing's illusion, but she always felt that He Cong had changed a lot after returning this time. It was like he had grown from a young and ignorant lion to a lion king who had fought his way out of a bloody battle and carved out a new territory. The aggressiveness in his eyes was self-evident.
Shang Youqing originally thought this was a good thing. After all, in such a large family, it was better to be fierce than to be cowardly and incompetent.
"I miss my wife so much..."
The new head of the He family, who was known for his brutal methods outside, was now like a large, insecure beast, clinging to his wife's breath and warmth.
He Cong carried Shang Youqing back to the bed and kissed her for a long time. His hand couldn't help but lift up her dress and touched her lower abdomen.
Three months later, Shang Youqing's pregnant belly had already shown a slightly bulging curve.
He half-knelt on the edge of the bed, holding her belly, and then very carefully, he kissed and rubbed it, then raised his head and asked her softly, "Has the baby been fussy lately?"
Shang Youqing couldn't help but curl his lower lip, put his hand on his head and rubbed it gently, saying: "It's okay."
Just by being touched on the head, He Cong felt so comfortable that he buried his head in her waist and nuzzled Shang Youqing's baby through her belly, while complaining to his wife: "I don't want to sleep on the top floor of Yunqing Group anymore. I want to go home and sleep with my wife every day."
Shang Youqing let him cuddle with her and just asked, "Is everything done?"
He Cong was about to nod, but suddenly he seemed to remember something. He raised his face from her arms, stared at her seriously and said, "There is still one very important thing that has not been done."
Shang Youqing's eyebrows jumped slightly, and as expected, he heard He Cong say, "Wife, we haven't gone to get the marriage certificate yet."
"This is not—"
"Let's go tomorrow." He Cong made a clear decision.
Shang Youqing looked at his sharp and calm eyes, was silent for a while, nodded slightly and agreed "OK".
That night, He Cong held her in his arms as he did in the past.
But this time, even in his sleep, he still remembered that she was pregnant, so he held her very gently, and was especially careful to put his palm lightly on her pregnant belly, for fear that she would get bumped.
Shang Youqing opened his eyes while He Cong was sleeping.
She gently moved He Cong's hand away, reached under his hem, and skillfully reached the lower side of his ribs. This time, the spiritual power at her fingertips easily controlled the entire root system of the spiritual root.
It was time for her to extract her spiritual roots and return to Wutong Mountain after completing her mission.
"Wife..."
In his sleep, He Cong murmured in a low voice as if feeling a little uneasy, and buried his face gently in the side of her neck.
Shang Youqing's eyes froze, and he forced himself to suppress the inexplicable pain that surged in his heart. He gathered spiritual power at his fingertips again and completely extracted the spiritual root that was flowing with golden light.
She watched her spiritual root merge back into her lifeline and was about to push the man away, but at this moment, her consciousness, which had not yet closed, suddenly saw -
After the spiritual roots that were originally rooted in the deepest part of He Cong's heart were peeled off, a cloud of swirling black mist unknowingly emerged into a strange embryo-like shape and wrapped around He Cong's heart.
Shang Youqing opened his eyes slightly in confusion, and suddenly realized that it was... a killing barrier!
That is a killing barrier that will devour the lives of all living beings!
How could He Cong, a human being, be planted with the killing barrier?
Shang Youqing stared at the killing barrier on He Cong's heart for a moment, then coldly shifted his gaze away.
This has nothing to do with her.
She has retrieved her spiritual roots, and she wants to leave now while He Cong is still asleep.
Shang Youqing got out of bed while thinking, his hand already on the door handle, but his fingertips tightened uncontrollably.
Suddenly, Shang Youqing turned around and returned to the bed, straddling He Cong's body, lowered his head to hold up the back of his neck, kissed his lips, and poured his spiritual energy into him bit by bit.
But she knew that this could only delay the swallowing of the killing barrier.
The next day, Shang Youqing allowed He Cong to take her to get the certificate.
To Shang Youqing, it was just an insignificant piece of waste paper, not to mention that the marriage certificate was issued under her pseudonym.
But He Cong was very happy. All the way out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he kept the little red notebook in his pocket and showed it off to every driver's assistant he met.
Even the chick still in her belly was not spared.
Shang Youqing asked the driver to take them to Changci Temple, asked for a Buddha amulet for He Cong, and poured spiritual power into the amulet to suppress killing obstacles. When he asked He Cong to wear it around his neck, He Cong was still very reluctant.
Such a tall man, after being glanced at by Shang Youqing, finally stood up straight, lowered his head slightly, cooperated with Shang Youqing to slightly pull open the neat stand-up collar, and put on the black Buddha amulet.
At that time, He Cong stood outside the Buddhist temple, his eyes glancing coldly at the Buddha amulet hanging around his neck, "Wife, I don't believe in this kind of thing."
Shang Youqing: "...From now on, you are not allowed to take it off except when taking a bath."
He Cong pursed his lips and agreed: "I understand."
After that day, Shang Youqing would inject spiritual energy into He Cong every night after he fell asleep to slow down the growth of the killing barrier, while secretly investigating the matter of the killing barrier.
Finally, when Phoenix's due date was approaching, she discovered an abnormality.
Mu Jiuhan, who was far away in North America, actually returned to China once when she had gone down the mountain, and went to discuss cooperation with the Ji family. In this short period of more than a year, Ji Huaizhuo also went to North America several times.
Shang Youqing was suspicious and forgot that he had promised to accompany He Cong back to the He family to meet Old Madam He. He went directly to Ji Huaizhuo to find out the truth.
Ji Huaizhuo was much more cunning than she thought. He kept beating around the bush with her at the dinner table and never told her a word of truth.
Shang Youqing was too lazy to deal with him and clearly warned him not to touch He Cong.
By the time we returned to Yanyuan, it was already very late.
As soon as she got out of the car, Butler Chen came up to her and carefully reminded her to take a look at the news.
Shang Youqing opened his phone and saw nothing.
"Oh, I almost forgot. My husband ordered the news to be deleted from the entire Internet as soon as it was released." Butler Chen took out his mobile phone again and showed his wife the screenshots he had taken before.
Shang Youqing took the phone and took a look.
The photo of her and Ji Huaizhuo having dinner together in a high-end restaurant was pushed to the headlines of Bindao again.
It also had a striking headline: "Mrs. He, the newlywed wife of the new head of the He family, had a late-night rendezvous with the eldest son of the Ji family while pregnant."
Shang Youqing took a quick glance and turned off the phone before returning it to Butler Chen. He returned to the main residence in the lakeside area. The servants had all been dismissed. In the spacious and luxurious central hall, the main lights were not on. He Cong sat quietly on the sofa, and it was unknown how long he had been sitting there.
Shang Youqing had just walked in. As if afraid that she couldn't see clearly, He Cong turned on the light without saying a word. When she came over, his eyes fell on her with an unclear emotion.
Shang Youqing thought he was going to question something, but he didn't.
He Cong looked at her for a moment and asked, "Are you still hungry?"
Shang Youqing shook his head, "I've eaten."
After a few seconds of silence, He Cong suddenly stood up from the sofa, put his arms around her, and walked towards the elevator with a stern face.
Shang Youqing let him hold her, looking at him, and asked, "The housekeeper said you held a very important family dinner at the He family's old house today, and you waited for me there for a long time?"
He Cong said indifferently: "Yeah."
"I forgot, I thought it was just a simple meal..."
He Cong nodded and stared at the elevator going up, "Well, you forgot to have dinner with me, but went out to have dinner with another man."
“…Speak properly.”
He Cong carried her back to the big bed in the bedroom, pressed his thin lips hard, and couldn't help but retort: "My wife can go out to eat with other men, how can I talk to her properly?"
Shang Youqing looked at him with her eyes downcast, and He Cong knew that his words were hurtful. He was silent for a while, then suddenly he clasped his hands around her bulging pregnant belly, pressed his face against it, and complained coldly:
"Baby, you heard me, mommy won't go home with daddy for dinner."
Shang Youqing's tense expression suddenly broke, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "He Cong, aren't you childish? You even complained to the baby?"
He Cong didn't say anything, nor did he let go. He continued to hold her pregnant belly and sulk.
Shang Youqing was silent for a moment, omitting the purpose of her meeting with Ji Huaizhuo and explaining a few words to him, "I went to see Ji Huaizhuo to check some old things, nothing else."
He Cong then raised his lip slightly, "Of course I know there's nothing else."
His face rubbed against her pregnant belly, and he pushed up the hem of her clothes, sucked on it, and hummed vaguely, "Okay, honey, I won't complain to the baby anymore."
