Hearing Dongfang Bai’s familiar and restless voice, Le Yao Yao froze. She didn’t know how to react.

  Suicide? Who’s committing suicide?

  Le Yao Yao blinked her swollen pupils. She was confused.

  Dongfang Bai couldn’t read her mind as he continued, “Xiao Yao Zi, I don’t know what you went through, but the child is innocent. If you’re afraid Yu won’t want you anymore after this, I want you. If you’re afraid you can’t afford to raise the child, I’ll be the child’s father and raise it with you!”


  Dongfang Bai was extremely emotional. He even made a touching confession.

  Again, Le Yao Yao blinked her swollen pupils. She finally snapped out of it and lifted her head to look at the panting Dongfang Bai.

  He must have been really worried about her….he thought she was going to do something foolish?

  “Brother Bai, I wasn’t trying to commit suicide.”


  “What?! Y-you weren’t planning to kill yourself? Then why are you standing here?”


  Earlier, when Le Yao Yao found out she was pregnant, she reacted like she was suffering from devastating news. Then, she dashed out like she had turned mad. At the time, Dongfang Bai thought his heart was going to leap out of his throat.

  It took a while before he was able to stabilize the patient, but once he did, he ran out to search for Le Yao Yao.

  He had been searching for her for a very long time underneath the burning Sun. His back was drenched with sweat and he was panicking so hard that he thought he was going to turn insane.

  Unexpectedly, the person he was looking for was standing in front of the lake and looked like she was about to jump in. So, he rushed over and grabbed her before anything could happen.

  Luckily, he arrived just in time. What would he do if she had died?

  Dongfang Bai felt terribly unstable.

  But not only did Le Yao Yao say she wasn’t committing suicide, she had a smile on her face.

  Wasn’t this change too drastic?

  “Brother Bai, can you please release me first?

  “Uh…. ok….”


  Dongfang Bai released Le Yao Yao. Thinking of what he had just said, his face flushed.

  In order to conceal the awkwardness, he cupped his hand into a fist and coughed in it.

  But being the slow person that she was, Le Yao Yao didn’t notice. Instead, she stated with confidence, “Brother Bai, I’ve thought it through!”


  “What?”


  “I’ve decided to give birth to this child!”


  A glint of determination shone through Le Yao Yao’s eyes. She was no longer the weak and lost girl at the medical clinic.

  “I thought you didn’t want the child! You don’t know who the father is either!? What made you change your mind?”


  Le Yao Yao was so strong. Dongfang Bai’s heart couldn’t help but tremble when he saw the fearlessness in her eyes.

  This girl is so fascinating. How could he not like her?

  “Earlier, I really thought about aborting the child because I have no idea who the father is. I was afraid this child will stop me and Yu….”


  At this moment, Le Yao Yao paused and pain could be seen in her eyes. But it was quickly replaced by strength.

  Then, she slowly shifted her hands on her tummy. Currently, it was still flat. Her face softened, “This child is mines. He is part of my blood. We are connected. How could I bear to hurt him? Although I don’t know who the father is, I will give birth to him regardless. After all, he’s already in my stomach. It means it’s destiny. So, I won’t abandon him!”


  “Good! That’s the Xiao Yao Zi I know!”


  “Hehe, thank you so much, brother Bai!”


  “Huh? Thank me?”


  “I know what you just said were your sincere thoughts. You are so concerned about me. For the rest of my life, I’ll never forget how well you treat me. I’m so lucky to have a big brother like you.”


  Dongfang Bai thought Le Yao Yao would’ve understood his intentions. But it turned out she thought he only saw her as a sister. He was disappointed.

  As long as she’s happy, he’ll be her brother for life then! (end of 166 raws).

  —–


  Le Yao Yao refused Dongfang Bai’s offer to take her back to the residence. After all, she was calm now.

  After she washed her puffy face with the water from the lake, her eyes appeared less swollen. Le Yao Yao didn’t return to the residence until her eyes were back to normal.

  At this moment, she heard the other eunuchs comment that Prince Rui had already returned.

  Le Yao Yao prepared her heart and took a deep breath. Then, she headed towards Ya Feng Ge.

  Le Yao Yao assumed the King of Hell would be dealing with paperwork in his Study. But when she went inside, she realized he was sitting in the main Hall. Not only that, there were other visitors as well.

  Across from Leng Jun Yu were Nian Sulan and the Dowager Empress!

  Ever since Nian Sulan had came to find and bribe her at the residence, she had never entered again. Leng Jun Yu had warned that she was never allowed in his residence unless he had given specific instructions.

  So, Le Yao Yao thought she wouldn’t see Nian Sulan again. She definitely didn’t expect that Nian Sulan would return in a couple of days.

  Last time, Le Yao Yao was confused when Nian Sulan had tried to use money to get her to leave the residence. But thinking back, Le Yao Yao understood now.

  Perhaps, Nian Sulan had seen the King of Hell’s intentions early on. Nian Sulan considered her as a love rival. Hence, while the King of Hell was away, she wanted to get rid of her.

  Sadly for her, Leng Jun Yu caught her and her plan backfired.

  Knowing the King of Hell’s personality, Nian Sulan obviously wouldn’t dare to return. But she wasn’t the type to give up so easily. So, this time, she brought the Dowager Empress with her. There was no way Leng Jun Yu could kick her out if she came with the Dowager Empress!

  Based on Nian Sulan’s heavy makeup and captivating outfit, it was clear that she had taken a lot of time on perfecting her appearance.

  Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but lower her eyes and gazed at her own appearance. She sighed. Who knows when she could revert back to wearing female clothing?! Honestly, she envied the young ladies who could dress up beautifully.

  In addition, she was unhappy with Nian Sulan. After all, Nian Sulan was also her love rival! Although she was the person the King of Hell liked, the moment she thought about her unborn child, Le Yao Yao felt depressed.

  At this moment, Le Yao Yao sensed someone intently gazing at her. She hastily looked up and made eye contact with the King of Hell.

  Leng Jun Yu was smiling at her. Le Yao Yao forced a smile in return.

  A eunuch was about to enter into the Hall carrying a tray of snacks. Le Yao Yao instantly took the initiative and told the eunuch, “Let me do it.”


  “Thanks, Xiao Yao Zi!”


  Le Yao Yao entered the room and placed the snacks on the table. Nian Sulan glared at Le Yao Yao. Although it was only for a second of two, Le Yao Yao felt uneasy. She felt like Nian Sulan had an evil plan up her sleeves.

  But when she looked up, Nian Sulan was talking to the Dowager Empress. Perhaps she was overthinking.

  Le Yao Yao didn’t say anything as she placed the last bowl of pickled plum soup in front of Leng Jun Yu.

  On hot days like today, it was suitable to drink a frozen bowl of pickled plum soup. Seeing it, Le Yao Yao wanted to drool. In the past, she was never a fan of sour stuff. But lately, she really liked the taste of sour and sweet food. Initially, she thought her taste buds changed after she transmigrated into a new body, but it was probably because she was pregnant.

  She heard from gossipers that those who like sour food were more likely to give birth to boys; while those who liked spicy food were more likely to give birth to girls.

  Could a baby boy be in her tummy?

  But regardless if it’s a boy or a girl, she would be fine with it.

  While Le Yao Yao was daydreaming, Nian Sulan’s whiny voice entered her ears.
