Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Guaranteeing You’ll Have a Chubby Baby

At that instant, Yan Qianyi was utterly bewildered in all caps.

Upon sensing her sudden stiffness, Mu Yunlie lifted his head from her body and looked at her.

His eyes were infused with a drunken haze, tinged with a touch of panic, resembling a child caught stealing sweets, somewhat awkward yet charmingly blinking at her, his lips curling into a faint smile.

"I’ve woken my wife."

"Then I’ll be gentler."

Mu Yunlie buried his head back down...

In the warmth of the covers, Yan Qianyi could feel that her nightgown had vanished without a trace.

She could more distinctly feel the temperature of their bare skin in real contact.

It was frighteningly hot.

This was truly the last step to breaking her defenses.

Yan Qianyi fully snapped to her senses and hurriedly pushed against Mu Yunlie’s shoulders, "Ah Lie, don’t do this!"

At the critical moment, Mu Yunlie was already lost, simply unable to stop.

He breathed heavily, "I want to have a baby with my wife."

Yan Qianyi forcibly extracted her reason from her succumbed body, and struck Mu Yunlie’s nape with her palm.

He immediately passed out and collapsed onto her.

Yan Qianyi looked up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh of relief.

That was close!

Had she not awakened in time, just half a minute later, she would have succumbed in confusion...

After pausing for a moment, she gently pushed the unconscious Mu Yunlie away.

Even in his faint, his brows were slightly furrowed, seemingly displeased with the abrupt interruption.

She grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse.

Sure enough, the toxins in his body had started to affect him again.

Without any medication at hand, there was nothing she could do.

Yan Qianyi cautiously got out of bed, picked up the clothes that had fallen under the bed, and tiptoed to the washroom.

Now, without anything to treat him, she could only let him rest well, waiting for his immune system to control the toxins in his body.

She could only pray now that he would wake up by morning.

Otherwise, in such a state, he would definitely not escape her brother’s notice.

Her brother would surely inquire by then.

So she absolutely could not let her brother know about the strange poison in Mu Yunlie’s body.

After knowing, her brother would inevitably become suspicious of Mu Yunlie’s identity.

After all, ordinary people would not encounter such bizarre incidents.

And Ah Chang had said, this was also one of Mu Yunlie’s secrets.

After taking a shower, Yan Qianyi gave the bed to Mu Yunlie and lay down on the sofa herself.

At three-thirty in the morning, she was completely devoid of sleep.

Staring with wide eyes, she pondered for a long time until the grayish-white morning light seeped through the window, when she finally fell asleep.

She didn’t know how long she had slept when, in her drowsy state, she felt a pair of hands reaching for her again.

Not again!

She immediately opened her eyes to find Mu Yunlie trying to lift her horizontally.

"What are you doing?" Yan Qianyi startled, quickly sitting up.

"I want to carry you back to bed to sleep," Mu Yunlie’s demeanor was unharmed, and his tone normal. He asked, "Why did we switch places?"

Yan Qianyi coldly chuckled, "What do you think?"

"I don’t remember," Mu Yunlie’s gaze was vacant, "Did something happen?"

"Last night you..." Yan Qianyi stopped herself from saying more.

Forget it, she didn’t want to recall what had happened last night.

Just thinking about it made her whole body heat up.

"There’s nothing, now that you’re awake, I’ll go sleep in the bed. I’m so tired, I need some more sleep," Yan Qianyi hopped off the sofa and walked towards the bed.

Mu Yunlie watched her retreating figure, a mischievous smile curling up at the corners of his lips.

Waking up in the morning to find himself in bed, unclothed, and recalling Ah Chang saying he liked to cling, cuddle, and have babies when his poison acted up.

He certainly could guess what had happened.

And he vaguely remembered the physical and mental longing and impulse he felt at that moment.

He had thought he was dreaming.

Only after waking up did he realize that none of it was a dream.

Yan Qianyi climbed into the bed, which still held some residual warmth mixed with his unique scent, as if returning to last night...

But she was too sleepy to care about that now.

Soon, Yan Qianyi fell into a deep sleep again.

Mu Yunlie had the servants bring breakfast to the room.

Andelle looked at the two empty seats next to the dining table, a meaningful smile on her face.

"Yao, look how affectionate they are. I told you, it couldn’t be an act. The way Qianyi looks at Ah Lie, that kind of emotion can’t be feigned."

Yan Yao silently smiled.

Andelle continued, "With Qianyi’s fertility, we should be becoming uncle and aunt quite soon. I need to really think about what gift to prepare."

Andelle adored children, but despite being married for many years, they had not yet had a child.

At lunch, Andelle asked Yan Qianyi if they had chosen a name for the baby yet.

Yan Qianyi nearly choked on a piece of meat.

She thought that after sleeping all morning, her sister-in-law must have assumed they were up late "playing" last night.

She didn’t bother explaining and asked Andelle, "Sister-in-law, I remember your and my brother’s fertility are not low either, and you love children so much. Why haven’t you had one these past few years?"

Fertility ranged from S grade to E grade across six levels.

Her brother’s fertility was B grade, and she remembered Andelle’s seemed to be C grade.

This middle-grade fertility was quite rare and sufficient for normal conception.

Andelle’s gaze darkened slightly.

Yan Yao clasped her hand resting on the table, "Your sister-in-law suffered an injury before, so it’s had some impact."

"What did the doctors say?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Andelle responded dejectedly, "We’ve been treating it, but to no effect."

"Sister-in-law, let me have a look," Yan Qianyi stood up and grasped Andelle’s wrist to check her pulse.

Yan Yao smiled helplessly, "Qianyi has always loved playing doctor since she was little. When we were children, she insisted on pretending I was a patient who needed her treatment. I didn’t expect that now, being all grown up, she would still like playing this kind of game."

Yan Qianyi glanced at Yan Yao, "Brother, don’t make fun of me. I’m serious. I might be able to treat sister-in-law’s issue."

Yan Yao shook his head, "The little theoretical knowledge you learned from mom, it’s only good for treating minor injuries and sickness."

Seeing her brother didn’t believe in her, Yan Qianyi didn’t say anymore.

But Mu Yunlie said, "Your Highness the Prince, don’t underestimate my wife. She’s quite amazing."

As he spoke, Mu Yunlie’s gaze was fixed on Yan Qianyi, his eyes filled with adoration and tenderness.

At that moment, Yan Yao completely let go of any doubts about their relationship.

As a man himself, he knew exactly what mindset and emotions a man has when he looks at a woman with that kind of gaze.

"Sister-in-law, your issue can be treated. When I return to the Federation Empire, I’ll prepare some medicine for you to send over. Take it regularly, and within a year, I guarantee you’ll have a healthy baby boy."

"Really?" Andelle’s face lit up with joy, tears brimming in her eyes, "Thank you so much, Qianyi!"

Yan Yao listened as if it were merely a play, showing no particular reaction.

In the evening, servants brought in ball gowns and a selection of masks for Yan Qianyi and Mu Yunlie to choose from.

Mu Yunlie’s slender fingers slid across various masks, eventually settling on one shaped like a cat.
