Chapter 390: Someone’s Pregnant
Chapter 390: Someone’s Pregnant
"Hey." She let out a small sound and nudged Lu Shinian beside her, signaling him to look at the Weibo post.Lu Shinian glanced over it, his brow slightly furrowed.
"This person..."
He paused, seemingly surprised, or perhaps unsure of how to begin.
His reaction made Su Ruan even more curious.
"Do you know this person?"
"Yes." Lu Shinian nodded, "In fact, you know this person too."
"I know them too?" Su Ruan was genuinely surprised, "Who is it?"
It can’t be her mother, can it?
"Ye Zirou," Lu Shinian said confidently.
Su Ruan searched her memory for the existence of this person, then realized.
"So it’s her."
"How do you know it’s her?"
"The Light Brain she’s using is the one I left behind," Lu Shinian explained, "Back then, to prevent her from speaking nonsense, I left some traces."
"When she posts on Star Blog, I can see the signals I left."
"I see." Su Ruan nodded, "She’s pregnant, but no one knows who she’s with."
Regarding this, Lu Shinian was also unsure. He shook his head, saying, "Not sure."
"However, her pregnancy is undeniably a good thing for us."
"Nowadays, the baby is too much in the spotlight, and since she’s a Natural Human, it’s inevitable that some ill-intentioned people might appear."
"Having someone else to divert attention is good."
With a second Imperial person pregnant, or strictly speaking, the first Imperial person pregnant, these Imperial people should be enthusiastic about investigating why she became pregnant.
At least for now.
The attention focused on the baby would decrease significantly.
Perhaps, as more Empire people become pregnant, the baby might gradually fade from their focus, allowing them to return to the Federation peacefully.
Lu Shinian hoped this time would come quickly.
His words made sense, and Su Ruan completely agreed.
Currently, the baby is getting far too much attention.
If the attention could be reduced, that would be ideal.
However, she was still curious about who Ye Zirou was with to become pregnant.
She quietly followed Ye Zirou’s Star Blog, planning to keep an eye on further developments.
————
On Luoxia Star, Ye Zirou looked at the line of text popping out from the detection bracelet, so excited that her eyes welled with tears.
"I’m really pregnant." She looked at Wang Qi before her.
Wang Qi was dumbfounded, completely unable to believe she was pregnant.
Clearly, their synchronization rate was less than thirty percent, according to Empire’s rules, they might never have their own children in this lifetime.
When he married her, it was with the idea of spending a lifetime together without offspring.
He never imagined she would become pregnant.
A full minute later, Wang Qi reacted, a look of panic appeared on his face for the first time, pacing back and forth in the room, murmuring, "You’re pregnant, then we can’t stay on Luoxia Star anymore."
"I have some savings; I’ll work hard over the coming period to save some money and move to another planet before the baby is born."
"The air quality on Luoxia Star is too poor; is it not suitable for pregnant women?"
"Why don’t we leave right now?"
"No, no, there are no merchant ships this month."
......
As he spoke, Wang Qi suddenly slapped himself, making a "pop" sound.
"It’s all my fault."
"If only I’d thought of saving money earlier."
"It’s all my mistake."
......
Ye Zirou pressed his hand down, shaking her head, and said, "It’s not your fault, I didn’t know I would become pregnant either."
She gently caressed her belly, a happy smile spread across her face.
"Honey, I’m so happy."
She hugged him tightly.
"I really like you."
That unfamiliar yet joyous fluttering danced in her heart, urging her to hold him closer.
Wang Qi, somewhat awkward, wrapped his arms around Ye Zirou, a wave of unexplained happiness surged within him.
She is his wife, the mother of their child, his... beloved.
"I really like you too," he replied.
Though he still couldn’t define "like," he believed he truly liked her as she liked him.
The two hugged each other, completely unaware that outside, Ye Zirou’s excited Star Blog post had caused an uproar.
Besides public attention, an entity, well, actually an Insect, was also following this matter.
Recently, Cheng Qingye had been comfortably idle; after dealing with matters on Luoxia Star, he intended to leave but felt a fluctuation in the spiritual power he left on Ye Zirou the day before, so he decided to stay.
His spiritual power was sharper than any instrument.
The day before Ye Zirou detected her pregnancy, Cheng Qingye sensed a new life in Ye Zirou’s belly.
This event made Cheng Qingye, rather uniquely, choose not to roam but to watch cautiously.
The Empire’s fertility issue had always been a significant concern, and previously, Lu Zhiya wanted him to find a solution.
But as an Insect, how could he possibly resolve human fertility issues? He couldn’t suggest crossbreeding between insects and humans, right?
The Insect Race didn’t favor the ugly humans.
While thinking, unexpectedly, someone within the Empire became pregnant under natural conditions.
He naturally needed to investigate thoroughly.
Without Ye Zirou and Wang Qi knowing, Cheng Qingye’s spiritual power had already surrounded their residence.
Their every move fell within Cheng Qingye’s mind.
He tried deciphering the truth behind Ye Zirou’s pregnancy through their behavior.
Unfortunately, after several days of probing, there was nothing unusual in their behavior.
They didn’t eat anything strange or engage in bizarre actions; apart from being more cautious, there was nothing amiss.
This was causing some conflict within Cheng Qingye.
Meanwhile, because Ye Zirou hadn’t responded to anyone’s comments or private messages after posting the Star Blog, some people began speculating conspiracies.
[Is she faking pregnancy for attention?]
Such comments started circulating on major platforms, pushing Ye Zirou into the spotlight.
It’s understandable why Ye Zirou didn’t respond—once she detected the pregnancy, the couple feared the Light Brain’s radiation might harm the baby, so they tucked it away and hadn’t opened it for a long time, let alone reply to comments.
As for Cheng Qingye, he noticed Ye Zirou hadn’t been replying; using spiritual power, he retrieved Ye Zirou’s Light Brain and casually snapped a photo of the detection bracelet’s alert message, which she checked about eight hundred times a day.
[You have been pregnant for 35 days, 21 hours, 16 minutes, and 35 seconds]
Then he posted the photo directly.
Lastly, he couldn’t help but softly scoff.
"Humans are such troublesome creatures."
The Insect Race wouldn’t suspect an insect of faking pregnancy.
