The Amnesiac, Sickly Beauty Is Pregnant With My Dragon Cub - Chapter 63.3

Cang Lan thought her hiding of the rings had been discovered. She said stutteringly, “Wi… Wife, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?”

Yu Xuanji shook her head and said with a smile, “No, I just feel the weather is good today. Let’s go pick some vegetables later, and I’ll cook something delicious for you at noon.”

Cang Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then she heard Yu Xuanji speak again: “By the way—”

Before the words were out, Cang Lan’s heart jumped back to her throat. A moment later, she heard Yu Xuanji say: “I have some good news to tell you after we eat.”

Cang Lan was in the middle of the “guilty of doing something bad and about to be caught” mindset, so she didn’t hear clearly what Yu Xuanji said. She just nodded randomly and said, “Oh, okay.”

Yu Xuanji gave a helpless smile, knowing Cang Lan wasn’t listening properly. She asked, “Were you sleeping in the Dragon Pool all last night?”

Hearing this, Cang Lan immediately stood up straight and nodded guiltily: “Yes, I was sleeping in the Dragon Pool the whole time. I didn’t go anywhere. Why do you ask, Wife?”

Yu Xuanji looked up at her and said, “Nothing. I was just worried that soaking in cold water for too long would make you uncomfortable. Although you are a divine dragon, the water in the cold pool is truly too cold. I’m worried about your body.”

Cang Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t worry, Wife. It’s just cold water. I’m not afraid of the cold; I’m very cold-resistant.”

Yu Xuanji was about to take the porcelain bowl, but Cang Lan held it to her lips and said thoughtfully, “Wife, let me feed you.”

Cang Lan fed her bite by bite, and Yu Xuanji ate in small mouthfuls. Seeing her good appetite, Cang Lan was still troubled by last night’s confusion. She asked cautiously, “Wife, last night in the hot spring pool, my tail clearly entered, but why did it feel like something was blocking me? Did you feel it, Wife?”

Yu Xuanji was choked by these words and coughed a few times. Cang Lan quickly put down the bowl and spoon, gently rubbing Yu Xuanji’s back with her hand: “Are you okay, Wife?”

“No, I just choked. It’s nothing.” Yu Xuanji curved her lips, picked up the bowl, and finished the rest of the red date porridge in one gulp. She said with a smile, “How could that be? I don’t know either.”

Cang Lan said shyly, “So even you don’t know? Could there be a problem with your body? It was fine before, and it went in very, very deep. Should we call Yun Zhi to see what’s going on?”

Only Cang Lan could say such things with a pure and innocent face. Yu Xuanji burst out laughing.

Cang Lan sat on the edge of the bed next to Yu Xuanji’s arm, looking nervous: “You’re still laughing? What if something is really wrong with your body? What will we do!”

Seeing that Cang Lan was so anxious she was almost crying, Yu Xuanji reached out to pat her head and said with a smile, “A-Lan, it’s fine. I’m perfectly fine.”

Cang Lan didn’t believe her and still wanted Yun Zhi to come and check her pulse. Then she heard Yu Xuanji say: “A-Lan, come out for a walk with me. The sunlight is good outside, and I have something to tell you.”

Yu Xuanji’s expression was serious as she said this, the smile on her lips gradually fading. It made Cang Lan panic, and she asked cautiously, “What do you want to tell me, Wife?”

Yu Xuanji stared into her eyes: “Something very, very important. I must tell you today.”

Cang Lan was stunned, not knowing what those words meant. Could it be that her secret forging of those items had been discovered, or… did she want to break up?

Her heart skipped a beat. Cang Lan stared at Yu Xuanji with wide eyes, so scared she didn’t know where to put her hands.

She had heard An Zhi say before that in a relationship, one party can unilaterally propose a breakup. Seeing Yu Xuanji’s hesitant look, Cang Lan began to fear. Was Yu Xuanji really going to break up with her?

Cang Lan suddenly became exasperated. If only she had proposed earlier, made her wear the rings, and then made two marriage certificates—then they wouldn’t be able to break up.

Seeing Yu Xuanji turn and walk outside, Cang Lan brainstormed for a bit and followed closely behind, asking cautiously, “Wife, is there something I haven’t done well enough?”

Yu Xuanji turned her head and asked curiously, “No, why do you ask?”

Cang Lan licked her lips and said guiltily, “Wife, if there’s anything I haven’t done well, or if there’s something you don’t like, just tell me. Don’t keep it inside; it will make me very sad.”

Yu Xuanji gripped Cang Lan’s wrist tightly, leading her outside to blow in the dry, hot breeze unique to the Great Barren, looking toward the morning star.

Cang Lan followed Yu Xuanji’s gaze and looked up: “Wife, what on earth do you want to say to me?” She was uneasy, fearing a breakup, so she hurried to block Yu Xuanji’s mouth before she could speak.

Cang Lan said, “Don’t look at the stars, Wife. Am I not better looking than the stars? Besides, I am the overlord of the Great Barren. No one in the world is more powerful than me. I’m rich, beautiful, and I’m gentle as water and considerate of my wife. No other monster has these qualities.”

As she spoke, Cang Lan gripped Yu Xuanji’s arm tightly and stared into her eyes: “Don’t leave, okay? I only want you in this life. I’ll risk my life to ensure your longevity.”

Yu Xuanji gave a helpless smile, hugged Cang Lan, and kept coaxing her: “Where would I go? Where could I go if I left? I even want to have a child only with you. Can’t you see my heart?”

Cang Lan was stunned for a moment, as if sensing something. Her gaze fell on Yu Xuanji’s abdomen, and she asked warily and incredulously, “Wife, are you—”

“Yes.” Yu Xuanji curved her lips, stroking her abdomen, her eyes as curved as the crescent moon. She said with a smile, “A-Lan, we are having a baby.”

Hearing these words, for some reason, Cang Lan stood frozen on the spot. Suddenly, purple-red lightning lit up the sky, and rolling thunder struck like ten thousand arrows, cracking the earth of the Great Barren into crisscrossing ravines.

Yu Xuanji stared blankly at Cang Lan, took her hand, and led the stiff little dragon to the entrance of a cave. Listening to the endless booming thunder, Yu Xuanji turned her head and met Cang Lan’s eyes, which were shining brightly under the purple lightning. She moved her lips: “A-Lan—”

Cang Lan sat blankly on the ground, her two golden eyes staring at her, looking her up and down repeatedly.

Yu Xuanji smiled, knowing she must have been stunned by the news. She reached out and pinched Cang Lan’s cheek, saying, “A-Lan, did you hear what I said?”

As for whether she heard, they both knew. The booming purple lightning in the sky was the best proof.

Yu Xuanji’s back was against the stone wall. As soon as her clothes touched it, Cang Lan reached out and pulled her waist, bringing her gently into her embrace.

Cang Lan’s voice sounded exceptionally hoarse, and if one listened closely, it carried a hint of undetectable trembling and sobbing. Yu Xuanji was stunned in her arms: “What’s wrong? Are you not happy?”

Cang Lan sniffed and said chokingly, “No, I was just thinking, why did you—”

Her voice stopped abruptly. Cang Lan widened her eyes and looked at Yu Xuanji incredulously: “Wife, could it be that you took that bottle of—”

Yu Xuanji pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “What medicine? I don’t know.”

Cang Lan’s eyes turned red. She blurted out all the little secrets hidden in her heart: “Just… just that medicine today. I originally thought I’d secretly let you take it so you’d have a child for me, so you’d stay by my side forever. But… but…”

Cang Lan looked away guiltily, stammered a few words, then shut her mouth, not daring to speak further.

Yu Xuanji finished the sentence for her: “But you regretted it. You were afraid I would be sad and disappointed because of your selfishness, so you threw away that medicine and replaced it with a nourishing one in the honey water. Am I right?”

Cang Lan’s mouth fell open as she stared at Yu Xuanji. She asked stupidly, “Wife, how… how do you know everything!”

Yu Xuanji smiled, looked up, and kissed Cang Lan’s chin, saying, ” I just know.”

Cang Lan shyly touched her chin, just as she had when Yu Xuanji first kissed her face. She said bashfully, “Wife, I… you… I…”

Seeing Cang Lan stammering “you, you, I, I” for a long time, Yu Xuanji rubbed her head and said, “You’re about to be a mother; you’re not a child anymore.”

Cang Lan fell to her knees with a thump, hugging Yu Xuanji’s waist and burying her face in her belly. She originally wanted to take a deep sniff, but suddenly remembered there was a baby inside, so she slowly let go. She cautiously touched Yu Xuanji’s abdomen through her clothes with her lips: “Wife, I’m not dreaming, am I? Was what you said true?”

With that, Cang Lan pinched her cheek hard. It hurt so much she frowned, then immediately said with surprise, “I’m really not dreaming!”

Seeing Cang Lan kneeling, Yu Xuanji leaned over to help her up, only to hear the little dragon say jubilantly, “I knew my parenting manual wasn’t written for nothing!”

Yu Xuanji pretended not to know anything. Her eyes curved as she asked, “What parenting manual?”

Cang Lan quickly explained, “I thought you were pregnant before, so I asked An Zhi and Ting Lan for some knowledge from your world. It’s really troublesome—can’t eat this, can’t touch that, so many things to avoid. Now it’s fine; you won’t be able to eat the delicious food I make.”

Yu Xuanji touched Cang Lan’s cheek, tucking her messy hair behind her ear. She asked, “Besides those, is there anything else?”

Cang Lan thought for a bit. After a while, she seemed to remember something, and her ears slowly turned red. She said bashfully, “They also said that the most important thing is that you can’t have sex while pregnant; otherwise, it’s easy to miscarry.”

“So,” Cang Lan looked up and said pitifully, “Wife, we should sleep separately during this time. You sleep in the bedroom, and I’ll sleep in the Dragon Pool. That way we’ll be fine. An Zhi said a pregnancy lasts ten months. I don’t know how many months the dragon cub will stay in your belly, but if it doesn’t come out, then we… we shouldn’t be intimate anymore.”

Yu Xuanji put her arms around Cang Lan’s neck and dropped a shallow kiss on the corner of her mouth, saying with a smile, “It’s fine, none of those matters. You are not allowed to sleep in a separate room. If it can’t even withstand this little impact, it doesn’t deserve to be our child.”
