Chapter 287: Chapter 287: She’s Really Pregnant!

"Alright, I promise I won’t tell him. Now, spill it."

Yan Qianyi’s curiosity was completely piqued.

Pei Yuexuan said, "Ah Lie has a younger brother named Ah Chang."

"Ah Chang?" Yan Qianyi was surprised. "Isn’t that the name of his personal system?"

"Right, Ah Lie’s brother died when he was very young. At the time of his death, he was just as big as the virtual body of the system’s Ah Chang, and his voice was the same too. Initially, the system was set up exactly according to the real Ah Chang as a model."

Yan Qianyi frowned, "So, Ah Lie really misses his brother, which is why he also tasked Ah Chang with household services? This makes him feel like his brother is still by his side, right?"

"Yeah, I think that’s the case. At first, I didn’t understand why Ah Lie’s family didn’t have a domestic service system."

Yan Qianyi nodded and then asked, "How did his brother die?"

"This..." Pei Yuexuan hesitated.

After thinking it over, he said, "I’m not at liberty to tell you that, and I’m not clear on the specifics myself."

This was related to the adult’s background, something he definitely could not disclose.

And indeed, he didn’t understand the details, only the gist.

"I understand," Yan Qianyi said gratefully. "Vice Officer Pei, thank you for telling me these things. I know so little about Ah Lie, so please tell me anything you can if it’s convenient."

"There’s nothing else; I have things to attend to, so I’ll be going now."

Pei Yuexuan, afraid of saying too much, quickly took his leave.

Yan Qianyi went up to the study on the upper floor.

She gently knocked on the open door and walked in.

Mu Yunlie was staring intently at a gift on the table, lost in thought.

He immediately snapped out of his reverie, a smile appearing in his eyes as he gently gazed at her.

Yan Qianyi strode forward and snatched up the gift from the table, stuffing it into her pocket.

"I’ve changed my mind. I want to take this gift back."

"Why?"

"I just remembered that my house doesn’t have a domestic service system. Aunt Xue is the one who’s always busy, so I’ve decided to lighten her workload first."

Mu Yunlie furrowed his brow, "Since when do people take back gifts after they’ve been given?"

This was the first gift she had given him. Although he did not want to use it, he cherished it.

Even if she gifted him a pebble picked up from the roadside, he would like it.

Yan Qianyi stubbornly said, "Well, in my case, that’s how it works. This latest version is quite valuable, and I realized I’m somewhat reluctant to part with it. Anyway, you’re not short on money, so if you need it, just buy it yourself."

She couldn’t mention what Vice Officer Pei had told her, so she had to play dumb.

Mu Yunlie laughed lightly and shook his head helplessly; despite having taken control of Yan’s, she was still a bit stingy.

Yan Qianyi sat on Mu Yunlie’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his face. "You’re not upset, are you?"

Mu Yunlie said affectionately, "You’re the best gift heaven has given me. Having you is enough. However, if you could give me another gift, my life would be even more complete."

"What kind of gift? Just say it, and I’ll give it to you."

Having taken back the gift, she indeed wanted to give him another one.

But this time, she wanted to choose something that would truly make him happy.

Mu Yunlie placed his hand on Yan Qianyi’s abdomen.

The warmth radiating from his broad, solid palm made Yan Qianyi’s body tingle.

He said thoughtfully, "It should be about time, shouldn’t it?"

Yan Qianyi was confused. "What’s about time?"

Mu Yunlie looked at her abdomen. "The little gift inside here."

Both of their fertility ratings were S-class, and he hadn’t taken any precautions each time. By his estimation, it was about time.

Yan Qianyi’s heart skipped a beat.

She had never experienced this before, and she had been so busy lately that after each time they were together, she had forgotten to take emergency contraception.

This was not good. She wasn’t ready to be a mother so soon.

Her studies and career were just starting; if a baby came into the picture now, it would disrupt all her plans.

Sensing her body suddenly stiffen, Mu Yunlie narrowed his eyes slightly. "What’s wrong? You don’t want to give me this little gift?"

"I..." Yan Qianyi stammered, "But we...haven’t had enough time just the two of us."

"There’s plenty of time in the future for just the two of us. With our strong fertility, we should contribute more to the nation."

"..."

After Mu Yunlie finished speaking, he took her by the waist, lifted her up, and set her on the desk, ready to contribute to the nation there and then.

Although the seed had already been sown, to be on the safe side, it was better to sow more seeds to ensure blossoming and bearing fruit.

With a child, she would no longer be able to leave him.

Mu Yunlie’s fiery passion quickly consumed Yan Qianyi.

...

The next day, after leaving Mu Yunlie’s house, Yan Qianyi immediately went to the pharmacy to buy emergency contraceptive pills.

Just as she was about to put the pill in her mouth, she suddenly threw it away as if she’d been electrocuted.

It had been seven or eight days since she and Mu Yunlie first became intimate.

At this point, a new life could be forming inside her body.

If she took the medicine without confirming, it might harm the little life in her belly.

After sending a message to Mai Hunter asking for leave, Yan Qianyi drove to Yan’s hospital.

Pregnancy tests might not be accurate if it’s too early on, but in such times, the advantage of modern medicine comes to the fore.

Half an hour later...

Yan Qianyi held the test results in her hand, her emotions mixed, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

She was really pregnant!

Combining two S-class fertility ratings, it truly was one shot into the soul.

She wasn’t ready to be a mother; her heart was set on her career, and suddenly, there was a new life in her belly, causing her to panic.

Yet, having a token of her love with Mu Yunlie made her happy.

Yan Qianyi walked toward the office.

Since taking over Yan’s, she had arranged for an office in the hospital for herself, convenient for her visits as the Masked Divine Doctor.

As she walked, she pondered whether to keep the child, whether to tell Mu Yunlie?

After much thought, she felt it was right to inform Mu Yunlie about the existence of this child.

As the father, he had a right to know.

Yan Qianyi quickened her pace, when suddenly Xu Yuan’s voice came towards her, "Miss Qianyi, what are you doing here?"

Yan Qianyi quickly hid the test results, "I’m just popping by to have a look."

"I was about to contact you."

"Did you find any leads on my mother’s case?"

"Yeah, there was indeed a medical incident in the past that involved the Mu Family."

"The Mu Family?" Yan Qianyi’s heart gave a lurch. "Which Mu Family?"

"The one belonging to the wealthiest, the Mu Family. If you’re free now, we can talk in your office."

Yan Qianyi nodded numbly, a sense of unease rising within her.
