They should be quite big by now, right?
"Husband, husband... What are you thinking about?"
Luan Ying saw him in a daze and called out.
"Nothing much, just feeling happy!"
"Join your husband for a few drinks!"
"Alright!"
Though she doesnât usually drink, today was different.
She quickly poured herself a cup of wine and filled Chen Xuanâs cup.
The two raised their glasses.
"Clink!"
The glasses clinked together with a crisp sound.
They both drank it all in one go.
"Refreshing!"
Chen Xuan exclaimed loudly.
Meanwhile, Ning Xin glanced at Chen Xuan, roughly guessing what was on his mind.
Only she knew about his past.
Luan Ying and Lan MengâEr were unaware.
At that moment, Chen Xuan also sensed her gaze, and they both nodded slightly at each other.
It was a tacit understanding unique to the two of them.
"By the way, I still have a few drops of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Wood Liquid. From tomorrow, you can start taking it."
Back in the Human Realm, he didnât have the time to properly nurture those kids.
Now, finally, the opportunity was here.
"No need, husband, didnât I already have one drop? Thatâs enough!"
Lan MengâEr knew how precious it was.
Having given Ning Immortal a drop back then, Chen Xuan thought of letting her try it too, whether it would work or not, one drop wouldnât make much difference.
After she took it, it turned out quite well.
In just a few days, she reached the fourth rank, but compared to the other two, it was far less impressive.
For this, she even felt guilty, wasting such a good thing.
"Itâs good for the baby in your belly. Tomorrow, Iâll help you refine it!"
Upon hearing itâs good for the baby.
Lan MengâEr immediately stopped refusing, "Thank you, husband."
...
Night.
Pregnant, Lan MengâEr naturally couldnât serve Chen Xuan.
It was still somewhat dangerous for the father and son to meet, especially in the first three months.
So, she slept alone in Chen Xuanâs cultivation room.
On the bed.
"You should go to MengâErâs side."
After the intense battle, Ning Immortal immediately urged him.
"Oh right, husband, Little Sister MengâEr sleeps alone at night, how pitiful. I can cuddle with Sister Xin."
Luan Ying spoke up as well.
Chen Xuan felt very gratified.
How well a man does largely depends on the women at home.
At the very least, his women never gave him any trouble and always considered everything for him.
"Alright! Donât do anything bad when Iâm gone, you two."
Chen Xuan said with a mischievous smile.
"Pssh!"
"Tch!"
Both women rolled their eyes at him.
"Hahaha..."
Chen Xuan laughed heartily, randomly put on some clothes, and walked to the small room.
He arrived at the small room.
With a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, he gently climbed onto the bed and wrapped Lan MengâEr in his arms.
He spoke softly, "Still pretending to sleep?"
"Hehe!"
Lan MengâEr chuckled, "Iâm just too excited, canât sleep."
"Why arenât you with Sister over there? I canât serve you."
"Oh? Not welcoming me? Then should I leave?"
Chen Xuan teased.
Lan MengâEr didnât say anything anymore.
Of course, she welcomed him, just... being alone with Chen Xuan made her a bit shy.
"Alright, have a good sleep, itâs good for the little one."
Chen Xuan placed his big hand on her belly, gently rubbing it.
"Mm!"
Lan MengâEr buried her head in his chest, murmuring, "It would be nice if itâs a boy."
"Boy or girl, itâs all good!"
Chen Xuan replied softly; he didnât mind.
In fact... he somewhat preferred a girl.
Isnât it said that daughters are their fathersâ sweethearts from a past life?
"As long as you like it."
Lan MengâEr nodded slightly.
Under Chen Xuanâs gentle motions, her breathing gradually steadied.
Not long after... Chen Xuan also fell asleep.
And for the first time, he had a dream.
A little child, very vague, beckoned to him.
"Come on, play with me, daddy!"
"Me too, daddy, play with me!"
At that moment, another child appeared, calling out to him.
Then, more and more kept appearing.
They all called out to him.
"Daddy..."
...
Next day!
Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.
"So it was a dream!"
"Whewâ"
He shook his head.
In the dream, he was genuinely worn out from playing with those little kids for who knows how long.
He could never stop.
Looking sideways, he saw Lan MengâEr was still sound asleep.
Seeing the slightly upturned corners of her mouth.
Chen Xuan couldnât help but smile.
About an hour later.
Lan MengâEr slowly opened her eyes in Chen Xuanâs arms.
"Husband!"
She exclaimed with surprise.
Waking up in his arms truly was a pleasant surprise for her.
Because normally, the bed was too small, and he usually slept holding Ning Xin.
She naturally felt envious.
But it was just envy, nothing like jealousy.
Because she knew,
Ning Xin holds a different place in his heart.
"So happy, huh?"
Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"Mm!"
Lan MengâEr nodded, of course, she was happy.
"Alright, get up now, have breakfast, and Iâll help you absorb the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Wood Liquid."
The two got up, and even with the pregnancy, Lan MengâEr didnât act any differently; she still helped him dress, just like before, when they arrived at the main hall.
She slightly bowed to Ning Xin and Luan Ying.
To this, Chen Xuan was very pleased.
She didnât become arrogant because of the pregnancy, very good.
Since Lan MengâEr was pregnant, Ning Xin specially arranged breakfast according to her tastes.
Seeing the table full of her favorite foods, Lan MengâErâs eyes suddenly brimmed with tears.
She was beyond grateful to Ning Xin.
"Alright, weâre all sisters. Youâre now a meritorious member of the Chen Family; these are all things I should do."
Ning Xin embraced her, comforting her.
