Novel Full Chapter 50
Moreover, there was someone targeting him behind the scenes. In a matter of days, one-third of Nangong house’s stores and properties had been acquired.
To remedy this situation, Nangong had been in a busy daze, having no time to care for Wenren Yunfei. This had given his love rival Guan Shengqing a chance to proudly be affectionate and touchy with Wenren Yunfei.
But she was still cautious that Guan Shengqing had lost his previous charm and was now unable to provide the luxurious life that Wenren Yunfei craved. Her brows twitched as evil intentions grew.
As for Bai Ling: he had retreated back to the crown prince estate as soon as realized that the situation was amiss. He acted as if he was just a secret guard, completely unaware of the situation outside.
Eventually, Nangong Muchen witnessed Guan Shengqing and Wenren Yunfei’s illicit relations in person when he arrived back to the estate earlier than expected. There was not even the least bit of resentment or dissatisfaction. Rather, his clothes came off too and made two into three. Soon, the three rolled into a pile and was unrestrained for whole day, creating noise so loud that the maids and servants outside could all hear.
When XunMi heard BaoBao’s quick summary, she almost vomited. Her idea of the world was once again restructured. But she didn’t plan to do anything. After all, based on the current situation, that group of people were prepared to play themselves to death.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The day of XunMi and Zongzheng Mufeng’s marriage was fast approaching. In the flower garden, XunMi leisurely curled up and admired the blossoming flowers.
[Host, don’t you have a question you want to ask BaoBao?] BaoBao was buried under the pile of sweets on the table. Since he was unable to eat them, then the least he could do is to hold them.
XunMi’s hand that was lifting a teacup suddenly paused. She lowered her eyes, pretended to be carelessly speaking, “Oh, what question should I ask BaoBao?”
[Of course it’s the question of whether Madam Host is able to have children in these little dimensions!] BaoBao poked at the desserts while responding.
XunMi’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, “Isn’t BaoBao with me in every dimension?” {T/N: BaoBao’s name literally means baby.}
[I’m not taking about this baby! Obviously, BaoBao is talking about babies with you and your man.] BaoBao finally reacted, discarding the desserts to throw himself across XunMi’s shoulders.
XunMi’s face lost all emotion, her eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression. Of course she had her suspicions. In the last world, she never had signs of pregnancy. But she was also conflicted at heart. She was scared to really leave behind children. When she would need to go into the next world, she would be unable to let them go. That sense of burden and responsibility will make her collapse.
[Host, host. Don’t worry. BaoBao is the most amazing.] The white ball rubbed against his Host’s neck. [It’s actually Host that is overthinking. It is impossible to have children in these trial worlds, because of the instability it would cause. If Host wanted to come back, there might be a shift in time. But starting from level three, the worlds are different. So Madam Host must prepare. Perhaps there might even be a little baby in your tummy right now~ (*^__^*) heehee.] BaoBao put on a bright smile in hopes of taking away Madam Host’s worries.
XunMi’s fingertips whitened as she tightly squeezed the teacup. Her left hand unconsciously caressed her flat stomach. As a woman, she was also looking forward to becoming a mother. But…
“BaoBao, what did you mean by ‘come back’?”
[That means that if Madam Host is unable to part with something, then after all the missions are completed and you’ve returned to the original world, you’ll be able to come to the little worlds for vacation.] BaoBao was referring to the original world, not her former world. XunMi, who was deep in her thoughts, didn’t notice. She only felt extremely happy. This way, she would be able to see her children. A small and warm smile grew on her face.
“Belle, are you intending to seduce your husband?” A pair of gently lifted up the woman lying lazily on her chair, sitting down himself and placing her onto his lap. XunMi rolled her eyes. She was too lazy to correct this fellow’s manner of speaking.
“What did mother say?” In the early morning, her mother had called Zongzheng Mufeng out.
“Mother said that if I didn’t treat you well, she’ll finish me.” Zongzheng Mufeng said without worry, very pleased at this chance to play with XunMi’s hair.
Slap! “Speak obediently, keep your paws away from me.” XunMi felt a headache coming.
“Alright.” Zongzheng Mufeng pouted feeling wronged, “Mother said that the Prime Minister shamelessly wants to meet with you. He also wants to accompany you at the wedding.” That old thing really thinks that a treasure he threw away would be able to regained after just a few words?
XunMi hadn’t thought this would happen. If he hadn’t brought him up, she would have forgotten that this person even existed._(:зゝ∠)_
“Why didn’t the Prime Minister come talk to me?”
Zongzheng Mufeng guiltily replied, “Maybe his pride wouldn’t let him lower his face like that.” He wasn’t going to tell his Belle that he told people to block his entry. Humph. He won’t let that blind old thing meet with his Belle.
XunMi was in a good mood so she investigate further. “I haven’t gone out to breathe the city’s air in so long. Let’s go take a walk.” XunMi dragged Zongzheng Mufeng’s hand, pulling the man up with her.
The two appeared together on the busy streets. XunMi, who hadn’t been out in half a month, suddenly felt as if something had changed.
“All the stores with Nangong family’s branding has been switched.” Zongzheng Mufeng guarded XunMi close to him as he explained.
XunMi raised her eyebrows in astonishment. “That means the status of richest merchant will change to someone else?”
“It changed a few days ago. Now, that title belongs to your husband.” He gazed at XunMi with immense pride, his shining eyes were saying ‘quickly praise me, aren’t I awesome?’
XunMi laughed and patted the big hand resting on her shoulder. “Aren’t you gloating? In any case, what’s yours is mine.”
Seeing that her man didn’t respond, she slanted her eyes, “What? You’re not willing to share?”
“No, no no. Your husband is very willing.” He curled his lips up into a silly smile before pulling her closer for a kiss.
Thankfully, their location was a bit desolate and quiet without many people.
XunMi kicked him without mercy, “Damn it. You better be careful, we are outside!” They were on main street. Goddamn, did he want her to become tomorrow’s gossip?
Zongzheng Mufeng pulled out grovelling puppy eyes as he chased after her. On the inside, he was smiling. Belle herself hadn’t realized that she was more and more open and reliant on him.
How great. Now, Belle’s world would only have him.
“Prime Minister, what business are you here for?” As she was walking, XunMi was stopped by someone. Zongzheng Mufeng appeared by XunMi’s side, coldly eyeing the person that had stopped her path.
