Chapter 2027: You Have Been Slain

Lu Hualiang sighed, feeling a bit heartbroken.

"From now on, I’ll come home early every day to accompany you."

Xia Weibao beamed happily, "Okay."

"After you give birth, wherever you want to go, I’ll take you."

In his past life, as a monarch, he bore too many responsibilities, forcing her to remain within the palace.

This life, he only wants to properly make it up to her.

She loves freedom, loves wandering the world, and he’ll accompany her.

Xia Weibao blinked, "What about the child."

Lu Hualiang laughed, gently kissed her, lightly landing on her brow, "Look at how eager the two grandmothers are at home; do you think you’d ever have a chance to look after the child?"

Zhong Wanshu and Yan Lingyi care deeply about Xia Weibao’s pregnancy, attending to her every day.

Yan Lingyi has even contemplated resigning from the United Nations to return home and look after her grandchild.

And then there’s Yan Fei, the uncle, who has already filled an entire villa at the Presidential Mansion with toys, specially prepared for ages one through ten, even before the child is born.

More attentive than him, the father.

Upon thinking it over, Xia Weibao agreed it made sense.

With so many family members at home, if she wanted to go out and have fun, there’s indeed no need to worry about the child.

However, she wondered how she could possibly not care for her own child.

In her past life, Emperor Xia Liang was too domineering, not wanting her attention to be divided among the children; he ensured nurses looked after them, while he monopolized her time.

This life, she wants to take care of the child herself.

Lu Hualiang thinks that his wife is his and should only have him in her heart and mind, not allowing the child to distract her.

If they have a daughter, she could tag along on outings, and he’d take care of her.

If they were unlucky and had a son, they’d just let him be on his own.

Both had their own thoughts, Lu Hualiang went to draw a bath, attending to his wife’s bath.

As her pregnancy advanced, he was a hundred times more concerned, needing to accompany her as the tiles could be slippery.

Initially, Xia Weibao disagreed, feeling fully exposed to him daily was like giving him a free show.

Later, unable to resist, she gradually got accustomed to it.

After the bath, Lu Hualiang had two pillows ready for her back as she comfortably reclined against the headboard while he massaged her legs.

Now there’s swelling beginning, and more massage could make her feel a bit better.

"Honey, is this pressure okay?"

"A bit harder."

"Like this?"

"Mmm, yes, just this pressure."

Xia Weibao spoke as she started playing a game on her phone.

She could only play for an hour on her phone each day, so she had to be quick.

"You have been slain."

"You have been slain."

"You have been slain."

...

Lu Hualiang, "..."

Every night, the most heard phrase was this, his ears were getting calloused from it.

Unable to resist, "Honey, is the game really that fun?"

"It’s fun, way better than burning the Imperial Study Room in the palace before."

"Getting slain throughout, watching others play, it’s interesting."

Her Majesty the Empress blushed slightly, raising a leg to kick him, "What do you mean!"

"I just feel that this game isn’t quite suitable for you, why not play something else?"

Something more silly, like Tetris, Snake, Minesweeper, tile matching games, or Star Eliminators, where you can mess around and not fail instantly; maybe that’d be better.

Her skill level in this game is so black hole-like, always regressing with no progression, it’s truly baffling.

Xia Weibao furrowed her brows, "Something else? You mean like PUBG?"

Lu Hualiang, "..."

With you immediately dying upon landing, maybe sticking to Kings would be better; at least you can survive for a few seconds while running on the map.
