Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1363: Joyous Pulse

“To be honest, I haven’t decided yet…”

After all, it’s been less than two months. Ye Jiaxin doesn’t even know for sure if she’s pregnant. Before coming here, she had visited a few doctors to check her pulse, and the readings all indicated she was carrying a child. But Ye Jiaxin instinctively trusted Lu Chuan more.

If… Lu Chuan identified the pregnancy pulse himself, what kind of expression would he have?

Ye Jiaxin couldn’t help but wonder.

“Daughter, I still think you should be honest with Lu Chuan. Regardless of whether he’s willing to accept it, he’s still the child’s father. He has the right to know everything.”

“But what if he doesn’t like children? I mean, look, he clearly has so many women, yet not a single child.”

“If he truly cares about you, he’ll accept it.”

…

Two hours later, Lu Chuan drove back. A single meal was enough to dissipate Shen Yourong’s grievances, leaving her satisfied.

“Was it delicious?”

“Delicious! As expected, spirit bird meat is more tasty—it’s chewy, refreshing, and firm. In comparison, spirit fish meat, if not prepared properly, can have a strong fishy smell, which I dislike.”

Shen Yourong professionally shared her opinion. Upon hearing this, Chu Mengyao covered her face and chuckled softly.

“Ms. Mengyao, why are you laughing at me?”

“Not at all. I just find our Shen Shen adorable, being so serious about food.”

“Of course! In this world, the only things that mustn’t be missed are good food and beauties. Since I am a beauty who loves good food, there’s even more reason not to miss out!”

As she spoke, Shen Yourong sneaked a glance at Lu Chuan, who immediately understood the signal and leaned closer to whisper, “Remember to leave the door open for me tonight.”

“Alright, okay…”

“Hey, hey! Shen Shen, we’re sharing the same room. If you invite Lu Chuan here, where am I supposed to go?”

“Um… then maybe let’s just forget about it.”

“No worries. The night is long, and there’s plenty of time.”

Lu Chuan lightly patted Chu Mengyao on the bottom, eliciting a delicate protest from her.

Ever since Chu Mengyao started her cultivation at the Shen family, her personality had truly changed a lot. From the icy beauty she used to be, she had gradually become someone who often smiled. Lu Chuan felt rather comforted seeing this.

It could only be said that Yourong was indeed a treasure. Anyone who spent time with her, no matter how aloof, would be captivated by her adorableness.

After escorting the two women back to their room, Lu Chuan counted on his fingers.

The ones he hadn’t met yet were Ye Jiaxin, Nalan Xuan, Tang Yurou, and Situ Qinghuan.

Nalan Xuan and Xiu Niang were together. These two women were certainly not easy to deal with. If Lu Chuan went to their room, he probably wouldn’t be able to free himself tonight. As for Situ Qinghuan, truth be told, Lu Chuan was still a bit afraid of her. In front of her, there were no secrets to be kept; he had been at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

So, Lu Chuan simply smacked his forehead and headed straight to Ye Jiaxin’s room instead.

Knocking lightly on the door, it wasn’t long before Li Yingnu came to open it for him.

“Mother-in-law, I’ve come to see Jiaxin.”

“Jiaxin is in the room. Go in; I’ll take a walk outside.”

“That works. Mother-in-law, if anything comes up, just look for Nanqing; she’s quite familiar with Cloud City.”

“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Watching Li Yingnu leave, Lu Chuan let out a long breath, relieved. “See, now this is what being a mother-in-law is about—ease and peace of mind!”

Though… Lu Chuan also knew that after taking the Blood Pill, Li Yingnu probably had some lingering thoughts about him. However, given their identities, Li Yingnu would never express her feelings openly.

“I should quickly find a way to negate the effects of the Blood Pill.”

Lu Chuan sighed deeply, turned around, and entered the room, closing the door firmly behind him.

Ye Jiaxin was asleep, curled up under the blanket, small and adorable.

Yet her pale complexion made Lu Chuan furrow his forehead.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

Lu Chuan quietly approached and gently held Ye Jiaxin’s wrist to check her pulse.

But as soon as Lu Chuan’s fingers touched Ye Jiaxin’s wrist, he recoiled as if struck by electricity. His mind went blank, and he stood frozen in place.

At this moment, Ye Jiaxin mischievously opened her eyes and smiled, “Did you feel it?”

“Wait, wait! Let me confirm again…”

Lu Chuan swallowed nervously and grabbed Ye Jiaxin’s wrist again. As he felt her pulse, his expression shifted from shock to ecstasy. He was so overwhelmed he started stumbling over his words.

“Joy… It’s a pregnancy pulse? Jiaxin, did you know it’s a pregnancy pulse?”

“Of course. Before coming here, I had a doctor check it. It’s definitely a pregnancy pulse.”

Ye Jiaxin nodded repeatedly and snuggled into Lu Chuan’s arms, tentatively asking, “Lu Chuan, are you happy about it?”

“Happy? That doesn’t even begin to describe it—I’m absolutely thrilled! Ha ha ha ha! I, Lu Chuan, am going to be a father!”

Lu Chuan picked up Ye Jiaxin and kicked open the door to the courtyard, shouting, “I’m going to be a father! Jiaxin, you’re amazing!”

Lu Chuan’s voice was loud enough that every woman in the rear courtyard could hear it clearly, and their expressions were quite colorful.

“Already… pregnant?”

Mu Nanqing pursed her lips and touched her stomach, lamenting, “So why do I feel nothing at all?”

Could it be that the intimacy wasn’t frequent enough?

Impossible! Lu Chuan often stayed the entire night, only stopping after completely exhausting her. Surely, it was frequent enough?

“Um… Miss, will you and Lu Chuan have a baby?”

“I’d rather not. Half-human, half-demon—it wouldn’t be good for the child.”

Though Yun Ji hoped that she and Lu Chuan could have offspring, still…

Yun Ji sighed softly.

But the most miserable of all was Tang Yurou.

These past few days, she’d been spending time with the icy Situ Qinghuan, which already left her feeling down. Upon hearing that another woman had conceived Lu Chuan’s child, she burst into tears.

“It’s not fair! I—I didn’t even get a chance with Brother Lu Chuan, and now there’s already a baby. It’s not fair!”

Meanwhile, nestled in Lu Chuan’s embrace, Ye Jiaxin finally let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan was truly happy upon hearing the news. She could feel it—that gleeful pride couldn’t possibly be faked. He genuinely felt excited about their unborn child.

“Alright, alright. Keep your voice down…”

“Why should I? We’ll all be family soon. This is a joyous occasion!”

Lu Chuan grinned, planted a loud kiss on Ye Jiaxin’s cheek, and carried her back into the room.

“Jiaxin, you’re amazing!”

“Of course! But Lu Chuan, do you think our baby will be a boy or a girl? What name would be fitting?”

“It’s too early to tell—in a few more weeks, we should be able to figure it out. Jiaxin, stay in Cloud City until you give birth. Here, there are people who can take care of you. They’re not bad people; our family isn’t the kind you’d find in some melodramatic TV soap operas.”
