Chapter 571 Have A Baby

Although Huo Ling’s statement was cryptic, Fu Chengyan and Su Shaoqing managed to pick up on her meaning. Li Heng had been quite anxious at the time, so he had practically dragged Huo Ling away. Huo Shenxing might not be as easy to get along with as Huo Ling, even if the latter had a good relationship with them.

According to rumors, Huo Shenxing’s whereabouts were frequently shrouded in mystery, and his personality was actually quite bad. Hence, if they wanted him to save someone, everything had to work in their favor. The most important factor was his mood.

He would not save anyone if he was unhappy, regardless of who the other party was.

Despite the fact that they had never met him, rumors about him had been circulating for quite some time. Given Huo Ling’s current reaction, they could tell that Huo Shenxing was definitely a difficult man to get along with.

Moments later, Fu Chengyan nodded. “It’ll all work out in the end. However, since we haven’t found your brother yet, I hope you can do your best, Ms. Huo.” For the time being, that was all he could say. It was the first time in his life that he felt so insignificant and powerless in the face of life and death.

“Of course! I’ll definitely give it my all to save her!” Huo Ling patted her chest and added, “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, everything will be all right!” Having said that, she yawned again, clearly exhausted.

“I’ll send someone to bring you home first.” At that, Fu Chengyan wanted to ask Zhou Zheng to send Huo Ling back, but she was concerned about Shi Nuan, so they went to Shi Nuan’s ward again.

Meanwhile, Shi Nuan was completely unaware of what had happened to Shen Qianan. When Li Heng and Pei Huan arrived to pay her a visit, the three of them began chatting.

Shi Nuan expressed her desire to be discharged from the hospital because her body was already fine, but Fu Chengyan objected. In truth, she knew that he must be quite busy during this period of time. Even so, he continued to keep her company in the hospital every day.

She was frustrated by her inability to do anything. The only thing she could do was to cooperate and undergo all the examinations and treatment.

At the same time, she was worried about Shen Qianan’s safety. Her own condition had improved, but she still had not heard from Shen Qianan in a long time. The fact that she had had a nightmare just a few days before didn’t help matters. Pei Huan and Shi Nuan talked for quite a while. The former was aware that the latter was concerned, but she did not inform Shi Nuan of Shen Qianan’s situation.

When Huo Ling entered the ward with Fu Chengyan and the others, she saw that Shi Nuan was in good spirits, so she went over and checked her pulse. “Good. You’ve been recovering well lately. The virus hasn’t traveled to your heart, and the baby isn’t affected either.”

After Huo Ling finished checking on Shi Nuan’s condition, she saw Pei Huan and the little boy in Pei Huan’s embrace. Blinking at him, she piped up, “Hey, little disciple, your master is right in front of you. How could you not greet me?”

However, Bao pouted and hesitated for a while. Looking at Huo Ling awkwardly, he murmured, “You’re not my master.”

“Ha!” The moment Huo Ling saw that he refused to admit it, she let out a frustrated chuckle. “How dare you say that, little brat? Have you forgotten about the promise you made to me a few days ago? I even spent the last few days teaching you to recognize herbs!”

With that said, she placed her hands on her hips, looking angry. “Hmph! I’ll show you who’s boss!”

Subsequently, she started chasing after Bao in the ward. Pei Huan remained silent, allowing them to have their fun. Even so, she still could not help but say, “Be careful. Slow down!”

In the meantime, Shi Nuan looked at Pei Huan in surprise. “When did Bao become Huo Ling’s disciple?”

“Not long ago. Ms. Huo has exceptional medical skills. It’s beneficial for Bao to learn from her.” Smiling, Pei Huan reached out and handed a couple of peeled grapes to Shi Nuan. “How do you feel now? Is the baby still very active?”

Immediately, Shi Nuan took the grapes and put them into her mouth contentedly. Hearing Pei Huan’s question, she could not help but smile brightly. With a gentle grin on her face, she replied, “Yes. I felt fetal movement a few days ago.”

“Really?” Pei Huan was excited to hear that. “This proves that the baby is healthy. It was the same for me when I was pregnant with Bao. He would kick around in my stomach, and sometimes he would get so naughty that I couldn’t get any sleep at night.”

She said it with a big smile and a happy expression on her face. On the contrary, Li Heng, who was next to her, lowered his head and frowned, clearly upset by her words.

While Pei Huan was conversing and laughing with Shi Nuan, she suddenly felt the grim mood the person beside her was in. Hence, she turned around to face Li Heng and inquired, “What’s wrong?” His brows were deeply furrowed, and she could tell he was in a bad mood at a glance.

However, after a brief reflection, she could not figure out why he had suddenly become unhappy.

Little did she know that it was because he was saddened by her sharing her pregnancy experiences with Shi Nuan.

Back then, he did not know that Pei Huan was pregnant, and there were some misunderstandings between them, resulting in the two being separated for so long. Because of that, he was not present during her pregnancy or when she gave birth to Bao. Even though they had reconciled and were making amends, some things had happened, and they could never make up for them. For instance, during those years after Pei Huan had given birth to Bao, she must have had a difficult time raising a child on her own.

On the way back, Song Zhe drove the car, while Huo Ling sat in the front seat with Bao in her lap. The two of them continued to play around and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Meanwhile, Pei Huan and Li Heng were seated in the backseat. She could clearly sense that his mood was unstable, so she reached out and placed her hand on the back of his. Li Heng, who had been silent the entire time, lifted his head and raised his eyebrows slightly in response to her curious gaze. “What’s the matter?”

Twitching the corners of her lips, she placed her hands on his face and pinched his cheeks before pulling the corners of his lips. “I’m the one who wants to know what’s wrong with you. What were you thinking just now? You seem to be in a foul mood.”

Instantaneously, Li Heng controlled his expression and shook his head slightly. “It’s nothing.”

Sighing inwardly, Pei Huan leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, “Heng, once I have fully recovered, let’s have a baby.”

Her words caught him by surprise. Immediately, he turned his head to face her. “Didn’t you say that having Bao is enough?”

“Why? Are you afraid that you can’t afford to support us?” she asked, her lips curving upward.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course not. No matter how many children you want, I can afford to raise all of them.” Li Heng pulled Pei Huan into his embrace. “It’s just that I heard giving birth is extremely painful. Did it hurt when you gave birth to Bao? Just now, you even said that he would kick you so many times that you couldn’t get any sleep at night.”

There was a hint of grievance and jealousy in his tone.

Listening to that, Pei Huan smiled. “Although I had a difficult time and giving birth was painful, I was more than willing to go through it for you and Bao.” With that said, she nuzzled up against him and interlocked her fingers with his. “Heng, I know you’re still kicking yourself for missing out on those few years with us, but I’m by your side now, and I promise I’ll never leave you again.”

Hugging her tightly, he rested his chin on top of her head and took a deep breath. In an instant, the fragrance of her hair filled his nose.

“Okay.”

In the meantime, Huo Ling listened to their chat and stared at the little boy in her arms with envy. This little boy embodies the best qualities of both my prince charming and goddess!

At that thought, her face lit up with delight. Subsequently, she poked Bao’s small head and uttered, “Your parents are going to give birth to a younger brother for you.”

To her surprise, Bao pursed his lips as soon as he heard that and turned around to look at his parents solemnly. “Hmph! Do you no longer love me? What makes you want a second son?”

Since he looked unhappy, both Li Heng and Pei Huan were taken aback by his reaction. They were unsure how to explain it to him and felt awkward because of it. Even Huo Ling felt that she had said

something wrong. Did I just ruin one of the most important events in my prince charming and goddess’ lives?

While she was deep in thought, she heard Bao say, “You only need one son. I don’t want a younger brother. I want a younger sister, an adorable little sister.”

Startled, Pei Huan blinked several times, and the moment she saw her son’s solemn expression, she almost burst into laughter. “Bao, you aren’t fond of having a younger brother?”

“I prefer younger sisters. Mommy, can you and Daddy give birth to a baby girl? If I have a younger sister, I’ll definitely treat her well!”

Then, he tilted his head, as if he was seriously considering something. “I’m going to save up a lot of money and buy her skirts and dolls. I’ll buy her everything she loves, okay?”

“Okay. You can do whatever you want.” A smile crept onto Pei Huan’s face as she caressed Bao’s small head dotingly. “As long as you like it.”

Having said that, she exchanged glances with Li Heng and smiled. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

In actuality, they did not mind what gender the baby was as long as it was theirs, but if Bao liked girls, she would not mind having a baby girl.

Hearing that, Bao clapped his hands, his face beaming with joy. “Yes! Then, I’ll have a younger sister in the future. Wait, Aunt also has two babies in her tummy. Does that mean I’ll be the oldest brother in the future?”

“That’s right. You’ll soon be the oldest brother. You must cherish your younger siblings in the future, okay?” Pinching his nose, Pei Huan queried, “Are you tired after playing all day? Do you want to sleep

in my arms?”

However, Bao shook his head excitedly. “No, I’m now a big boy. Daddy said that I should sleep alone in the future. Mommy, you should lull Daddy to sleep. Master Huo told me that I’ll only get a cute younger sister if you coax Daddy to sleep.”

Huo Ling was bereft of speech.

All of a sudden, she felt that the atmosphere in the car had become tense.

Laughing dryly, she remarked, “Ahem. I’m a doctor and also Bao’s master, so I… might have taught him a few things ahead of time.”
