  As Qi Yan narrowed his devilish eyes, he instantly forgot that he had initially planned to play self-pity just to get her hugs and kisses.

  He walked out with big steps after realizing that she was not around and searched for signs of her all around the house.

  In the end, he discovered her curled up in a ball beside the waste bin in the kitchen.

  She was grabbing onto the edges of the waste bin with both her hands.

  She was retching very badly!

  Qi Yan’s eyes narrowed!

  He rushed forward and helped her up.

  He stared at her ghastly pale face and immediately held onto her wrists. After he examined her briefly and was certain that she was fine, he asked, “What’s wrong?”


  “…”


  Tan Bengbeng had retched the whole day, but nothing came out.

  Instead, her entire face had turned a little pale.

  When she saw Qi Yan, she raised her head slightly and asked, “You are out. Is the antidote ready yet?”


  “I am asking you which part of your body feels uncomfortable!” Qi Yan asked in a deepened voice.

  Tan Bengbeng was taken aback when she heard this and a look of confusion flashed past her eyes.

  It seemed as though even she herself had no idea what was wrong with her.

  She allowed him to help her up from the ground. Then, she stretched her hand and pointed at the ingredients lying on the kitchen counter.

  “I think it’s about time to prepare your meal. After cutting a few slices of salmon sashimi, I couldn’t help it and tried some. Perhaps I retched because the smell was too fishy…”


  Tan Bengbeng sounded hesitant when she said this.

  Her favorite food was salmon sashimi and this was the first time she retched after eating it.

  As such, she was stunned.

  She squatted on the ground for a long while and did not get up.

  She felt that something was wrong, yet she could not tell what exactly was amiss…


  She turned around and looked at Qi Yan.

  “Did you discover anything wrong with me after the brief examination just now?”


  “…”


  He was stumped at this question.

  The morning sickness symptoms differ for every pregnant lady.

  Some of them experience it during the early stages, while some might feel it at the later stages.

  She was only a month pregnant, and he had originally thought that the symptoms would not show at such an early stage.

  In the end, his worst dream had come true.

  A piece of salmon sashimi had caused her to retch, and she was even wondering if there was something wrong with her health.

  If she headed to the hospital for a checkup…


  “Nothing! No issues at all! A sequela might have resulted after you jumped into the sea because your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Furthermore, we have been at sea for the last two days, and perhaps it is also because you are more sensitive toward the fishy smell of the sea waters.”


  As Qi Yan spoke, he reached out and moved the salmon that was sitting on the counter.

  He also moved the other fresh seafood produce.

  “Let’s not have seafood today!”


  “But we’ve just come back, and there is no fresh meat in the kitchen right now. The meat in the freezer wouldn’t defrost in time…”


  “We shall have a vegetarian meal then! It is good for our health! Yes, we shall go vegetarian today!” Without a second word, Qi Yan pulled Tan Bengbeng out of the kitchen and sat her down in front of the dining table. Then, he entered the kitchen alone to whip up a meal for her.

  Tan Bengbeng’s few attempts to stand up were all met with glares by Qi Yan.

  Since they were standing on his territory, she let him have his way.

  She sat quietly on the chair. As she tilted her face, she watched intently at the figure that was currently kept busy in the kitchen after having just stepped out of the laboratory.

  For some reason, she felt that Qi Yan was behaving weirdly and he seemed to be hiding something from her.

  However, he was never a serious person; the majority of his sentences were untrue, and he simply did things based on convenience.

  She could feel that he was intentionally allowing her to have her way around.

  Tan Bengbeng stared at the person in the kitchen and was deeply focused on his actions. However, she did not realize that she was actually resting her hand on her tummy, and was instinctively protecting it…


  She was completely taken aback by her actions when she snapped back to her senses!
